Locals fight to keep railway stations staffed
Great train robbery By CHRISTINA PARKIN
IT’S the universal call in the region at present – from Taree in the south, to Wauchope, Kempsey and up to Coffs Harbour – to save the services offered at regional railway stations. Large-scale petitions and representations to state parliamentarians are gaining in momentum as the public, particularly the older and disadvantaged groups, gain widespread support for their fears. The issue has gone beyond calls from Labor candidates and the Greens – the public has had enough of threats to yet another regional service. The Port Macquarie Branch of Country Labor have organised a petition available at many sites across Wauchope and Port Macquarie. The petition seeks to maintain the current staffing levels at Wauchope Train Station, ie at least one member of staff is at the station to meet every train. Similar petitions are available at Kempsey and Taree. “The public are also curious to know why citizens have to fight to keep what is an essential service for our community,” says Colleen Carmody, spokesperson for the Port Macquarie Branch of Country Labor. “Why is the excellent customer service provided by the station staff considered as dispensable? “The users are the most vulnerable people in our society. • Continued Page 5

VOTING RULES HAVE CHANGED?
Make your vote count this federal election. At this year’s federal election, the way you vote for the Senate has changed and it’s important that you understand how to vote correctly.
If you choose to vote below the line, you must number at least 12 boxes, from 1 to 12, for individual candidates in the order of your choice.
On the large white Senate ballot paper, you can choose to vote either above or below the line.
Voting for the House of Representatives has not changed. On the green ballot paper, you must number every box, starting with the number ‘1’ for your first choice, ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you have numbered every box.
If you choose to vote above the line, you now need to number at least 6 boxes. Put the number ‘1’ in the box for the party or group that is your first choice, a ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you’ve numbered at least 6 boxes.
‘How to vote’ instructions will be clearly displayed on your ballot paper. Don’t worry if you make a mistake — just ask for another ballot paper.

Target placed on wild dogs

By CHRISTINA PARKIN FACEBOOK is often criticised as a replacement for human connection. Not so, as is the case for the successful nomination of Port Macquarie’s Margaret Lohan as the Barnardo’s NSW Mother of the Year for 2016. Margaret was a member of a closed Facebook group that supported those who were experiencing mental health challenges. While scrolling through the posts one day four years ago, Margaret decided to respond to a young mother of two with a history of exposure to domestic violence, abuse and frequent self-harming. “When Kirsty posted that she had so many days of no self-harm, but was finding it difficult to continue, I had to respond,” says Mrs Lohan. “We exchanged posts for several hours so I kept her engaged and safe that evening. “Then Kirsty disappeared from the site for
NO GAP • • • •
several weeks and I got worried and asked the group if anyone knew how Kirsty was. “There was no response, but several weeks later, Kirsty messaged me to thank me for noticing she was missing. “It’s the power of one – it was meant to happen; our paths were meant to cross,” explained Mrs Lohan. The friendship grew and Kirsty and her two young sons were invited by Margaret and her family, husband Phil Lohan and twenty-fouryear-old son, Rob, to make the move from Tamworth and come and live with them at Port Macquarie. “When Kirsty moved in with her boys, it was like the missing pieces of a jigsaw puzzle,” said Mrs Lohan. “We couldn’t be any closer if we were biological mother and daughter.” Kirsty and her young sons, Bryce and Huntar, have now been adopted by the Lohan family and bear the Lohan name since last year.
“
so important for everyone to have that opportunity
“The boys have fitted in so well with Bryce about to start high school next year and Huntar is now in Year 3. “Rob, our other son, now lives away from home but he’s like a favourite uncle and gets on well with the boys,” said Mrs Lohan. “With counselling, Kirsty has come so far and she now has employment and can provide for her boys.” “She just needed someone to believe in her – it is so important for everyone to have that opportunity.” Margaret was actually nominated for the Barnardo’s 2016 Mother of the Year twice – by Kirsty and her long-time friend, Joanne Willoughby. When notified of her award, Margaret says her reaction was amazement, then feeling stunned followed by feeling ‘chuffed’. “I didn’t think I had done anything that any other mother wouldn’t have done,” says Mrs Lohan.
MANY landowners have experienced the distress and damage that attacks by wild dogs have caused to their stock, not only in terms of the value of stock damaged or destroyed, but to the wellbeing of their animals. Melinda Pavey has announced a major onground offensive against wild dogs in Oxley during this autumn season, providing great relief to local livestock producers across the region. “Wild dogs are a significant issue for many of our farmers causing more than $11 million worth of damage to the state’s primary industries sector every year,” the Member for Oxley said. “The costs associated with wild dog attacks are not only confined to losses from livestock deaths. Injured livestock also require treatment and supervision leading to further costs for farmers. “In order to combat the devastating impact that wild dogs have in Oxley, the NSW Government has put in place a comprehensive program to support around 3000 properties across the state. “The program will include laying more than 228,000 ground baits over 12 million hectares of land, spreading more than 7,200 kilometres of aerial baits and conducting around 100 training courses for landholders across the state. “I know local farmers in Oxley will be glad to see we are taking this issue seriously. This comprehensive package provides them with the tools they need to protect their properties and livestock.” A wide range of activities have been tailored to meet the needs of Mid North Coast communities, with the equivalent of 42 full-time Local Land Services Staff assisting property owners across the state to undertake baiting and use canid pest ejectors. Wild dogs are classified as pests in NSW and include feral dogs, dingoes, foxes, hybrids, and any dog living in the wild.

Brought to you by
THIS week brings us Mother’s Day - the perfect time to honour our mothers and give thanks for all they’ve done in our lives. In Aussie, many mothers are spoilt with a cup of tea and or breakfast in bed; generally with the kids vying to have their handmade gift unwrapped first. In lots of cases it can be a rather elaborate affair, depending generally on the man of the house and how confident he is in the kitchen. I remember once being presented with a whole wheel of camembert cheese, a bunch of grapes and a croissant with a mumbled ‘how do you like your tea?’ after 12 years of being together! I laugh at it now. At the time I was imagining where I was going to shove the cheese! Nowadays, like so many other calendar events it’s so commercialised it is beyond a joke. There’s loads of gifts, breakfast, brunch, lunch and dinner, high teas, cocktail parties and loads more on offer and I know some people who do it all. Expensive and exhausting! I would love to see it stripped back to a day where families pampered mum the best way they can. Make a cup of tea, let her sleep in, join forces and cook lunch or take her out, buy her some flowers, pour her a wine, let her have a nanna nap. Keep it simple. Most important! Love her! Happy Mother’s Day.

On-line means seniors are off-line WITH respect Leslie Williams’ column in the edition dated April 28, asking for seniors to give some feedback on the issues that affect their lives. The only option offered is to ask us to go to a website to ‘have our say’. I find it astounding that Mrs Williams would suggest a website as the only option to have your say when it is well known that many of us ‘seniors’ do not own a computer or
have the skills to jump on and access the internet, let alone, as a pensioner, afford the cost of the internet. This is completely unfair to most of the aging population of Mrs William’s electorate. She is speaking to only a very select few who might have the financial means to have a computer or be able to use the internet. My aged care facility where I live
doesn’t even have a computer for the residents to use, let alone, learn how to use. It annoys me that any of the government representatives won’t acknowledge my phone calls when I ring their office; it has happened far too often. It’s absolutely no use having an online survey! It is arrogance at its worst. Politicians are there to represent
the people and they need to look after the people who live here before spending big overseas. It’s about time you looked after the people of this community and I propose it’s better to have a face to face meeting with your public every 4-6 weeks, rotated around the electorate.

‘No’ to republic IN the Sunday Herald of April 24, Peter Fitzsimons listed two issues he felt may decide the upcoming election - Indigenous recognition and the republic. I assume he means recognition to be added to the Preamble of our constitution which contains three parts, The Preamble, The Covering Clauses and The Chapters of 128 sections. I am not a constitutional lawyer but I believe the Preamble cannot be altered or amended; it is a historical record of what happened 1891-1900.
We cannot alter or amend history. The Preamble does not mention Western Australia, they had not yet voted to join the federation at the time the Constitution Act was passed. It mentions NSW, VIC, QLD and Tasmania, but women in those states did not have the vote at that time. WA and the women in the four eastern states were in the same situation as our Indigenous citizens; they did not vote at the time the Preamble was created and their agreement to unite was not sought when the referendums were held in 1899. We cannot now say they agreed when they had not.
THUMBS
And how can Fitzy sell the republic with the circuses occurring in USA, Brazil, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Russia and some African republics. I don’t care who our head of state is as long as constitution remains intact; I have not seen a better system of government anywhere else in the world. B Thompson Port Macquarie
Clean up this mess TO the general manager and all councillors, there’s something very wrong with a council that turns a blind
eye to a situation that is resulting in pollution and the fact that council footpaths, gutters and roads are a part of this ‘work place’. There is all sorts of rubbish blocking the verge and/or a bus route just over the railway crossing on the corner of High Street where the gutter runs down to the river. If council keeps letting this sort of mess continue then it has no right to put its rules and regulations on any business in the Hastings that wants to use footpaths the same way. Do your job!

Thumbs Down TO all the people who can’t pick up after their dogs, especially in Belle O’Connor Drive, South West Rocks. Council supplies poop bags FREE. I walk a couple of dogs and the amount of times I have to duck and dive on the footpath is unbelievable. Would you like all this on your front lawn or footpath? Please spare a thought for others.

I am happy to report that taxi drivers at Kempsey are obliging, friendly, and go out of their way to assist frail elderly passengers.

New book club beckons By SUE PATERICK
THERE is nothing like being lost in a good book, except sharing that experience with a group of people who also love reading a pageturning yarn. Wanting to add to its established book clubs at South West Rocks and Stuarts Point libraries, Kempsey Shire Council is looking to start a book club at its main branch in Kempsey. Librarian, Alison Pope, said the aim was to provide a comfortable, familiar and social setting for people to share their love of reading, and for the library to be a focal point for the group. “The great thing about a library-based book club in this area is the number of books there is to share,” she said. “It is normally based at Port Macquarie, but we have access through the Bookshare program.” Bookshare is an initiative between the Port Macquarie-Hastings and Kempsey Library Services, which offers book club members free access to a collection of over 150 book sets of popular titles. Alison explained there were 10 copies in each book set, with some titles also providing DVD, MP3, e-book and audio book versions. There is also a suggested list of questions or discussion points to help prompt conversation about the book, or people can make up their own. According to Curtin University’s Professor Rob Donovan, founder of West Australia’s health promotion campaign - Act-BelongCommit, the social and mental benefits of being part of a book club are enormous. He said being a member of a book club meant not only lively conversation with a bunch of people you liked, it was also a good workout for the brain. “And the more you get together in these friendly but stimulating sessions, the stronger
Librarian, Alison Pope, wanting others to share a love of books with a new book club starting at Kempsey Library you feel the connection with others in the group,” he continued. “This adds to our sense of belonging, which is essential for keeping mentally healthy.” The website also highlighted new research from the University of Tasmania, which confirmed being part of a book club not only promoted social engagement and a sense of community, it also built resilience and protected against mental health problems. Library staff are calling for anyone in Kempsey and surrounding districts interested in forming the new book club to either register at the library, or email their contact details to kempsey.library@kempsey.nsw.gov.au
An initial meeting is scheduled for May to confirm the number of participants and to plan a schedule of regular meetings with a coordinator, plus establish a reading program and future meeting dates. For more information contact Alison on 6566 3210, or to check out the Bookshare collection visit the Port Macquarie-Hastings Library’s website at mnclibrary.org.au/bookclubs There are also book clubs established at Port Macquarie, Laurieton and Wauchope libraries. To find out more for that region call Leanne Wright at Port Macquarie on 6581 8755, or go to mnclibrary.org.au, click on read and then book clubs.
Kempsey clinic open KEMPSEY District Hospital’s new clinical service’s building, the centrepiece of an $81.9 major redevelopment, was officially opened last week. The new facility includes an expanded emergency department and emergency medical unit, acute inpatient unit, expanded high dependency and coronary care unit, operating theatres, expanded day surgery unit, a medical imaging department and selected clinical support services. Funded jointly by the NSW and Federal governments under the Health and Hospitals Fund, the redevelopment has also delivered new and reconfigured car parking for patients, visitors and staff and a new main entrance off Polwood Street. Refurbishment works will continue on an integrated community care centre, renal dialysis services, a new renal training unit, oral health services and several primary health care and community services. The work is expected to be completed in a few months.
Great train robbery
• From Page 1 “They feel abandoned by their local members’ inaction on this important service.” “NSW Trainlink, like any business, is simply responding to changing customer trends, increasing payroll costs and deteriorating patronage,” says Ms Melinda Pavey, Member for Oxley. “I have already visited each of the stations affected and spoken to staff about the proposed changes. “I have also spoken directly with Rob Mason, chief executive of NSW Trainlink, and raised the community’s concerns. “It is important for the community to understand the proposals are part of a review process and no decision by NSW Trainlink has yet been made.”

“ School’s Interact helps out homeless

“
We try to focus on needs in our local community so the students can also see the benefits of our efforts in our own community
By CHRISTINA PARKIN A SMALL group of students from St Columba Anglican School have raised funds to purchase eight ‘swags for the homeless’. “We try to focus on needs in our local community so the students can also see the benefits of our efforts in our own community,” said Interact President, Emma Dennis. “We’ve raised the funds from a variety of events organised at school over the last year or so. “For example, this year we will have a Pancake Day, a ‘Cra-Cra’ Day, which is a crazy mufti dress day with a barbeque; helped to put together about a thousand birthing kits for Zonta in March and we had another team of volunteers at the Ironman event last Sunday. “An international day we held had a focus on Fiji, as one of the girls is fundraising to attend a mission to help build a teacher’s house for a school on one of the islands,” explained Emma. The students meet fortnightly with the

social enterprise,” explained teacher, Mrs Gayle Houlahan. “The ‘Swags for the Homeless’ then organised for another four back pack beds to be made available for distribution with the eight donated by the St Columba Interact Club. Darryl Barleycorn, Customer Services Manager for New Horizons Port Macquarie, accepted the donation at an assembly held at St
Columba Anglican School recently. “Our service works with the homeless and those at risk at becoming homeless – we usually assist around 200 referrals a month,” said Mr Barleycorn. “Homelessness can occur for a number of reasons, including family and relationship break downs, loss of employment, domestic violence, insurmountable debts, illness and accidents. “We work with both ‘walk-ins’ and referrals – we don’t turn anyone away but work out what services they might need. “This donation of backpack beds comes at a good time of the year when sleeping ‘rough’ can get a lot more uncomfortable.” In December 2011, ‘Swags for Homeless’ was awarded Australia’s highest honour by the Australian Human Rights Commission – the Australian Human Rights Award for Best Community Organisation. Since then the organisation and the ‘backpack bed’ has won a number of design awards, including ‘Red Dot – Best of the Best’, a Gold Australian International Design Award in 2011, a ‘Powerhouse Museum Design Award’ for 2011, to name a few. Established in Australia, the backpack bed is now used in New Zealand, United Kingdom, Germany and USA for providing a form of crisis shelter with dignity. The backpack rolls out to form an all-weather shelter and storage for belongings. More information can be found at www. swags.org.au, where donations can be made or the swags bought directly.

GAL
SANDY BRANDON
How long have you lived in or around the Macleay? My husband and I have been living and working in the Macleay since 2006 although, we have been visiting South West Rocks to Scuba Dive since 1992. What do you love most about the Macleay? I know it’s a cliché but, it’s the people. From the very first time we visited on holidays, we noticed the people and how warm and welcoming they were towards us. Nothing’s changed, everyone will still say ‘hello’ in the street whether you know them or not. Where do you work and what do you love about your work? I’ve recently taken up the position of Executive Officer of the Macleay Valley Business Chamber. My passion is customer service and engaging with people, learning where they’re from and what they do. My work is varied and involves event management, marketing and liaising with local businesses across the Macleay. What’s not to love about work? What do you like least about your work? Like I said ‘what’s not to like about my work?’ If I’m to be truthful, that there aren’t enough hours in the day to do all that I would love to do. How do you start your day? If it’s not catching a sunrise with Zac our dog at the beach, I like to start my day with some simple yoga stretches. What do you do in your spare time? I enjoy taking photos of nature and food. So when I have time I take myself off to the beach or bush with my Nikon or I’m cooking up a storm in my Kitchen. What is the achievement you are most proud of? Being asked to be this weeks ‘Our Gal’ with Your Local Independent. Does this mean I’m a local now? Seriously, there are lots of things including being a Rotarian but one thing that stands out is being accepted in our local community and business chamber. It’s definitely a position that I’m very proud of.
A big ‘thank you’ to water warriors WATER plays a huge part in the everyday lives of thousands of Port Macquarie residents, be it the ocean, our rivers or our swimming pools. The Mid North Coast would be a very different place without the Port Macquarie Marine Rescue Service, the SES and the surf lifesaving clubs. When the surf is wild and the weather is destructive most of us run inside for shelter just as our volunteer and paid surf lifesavers, Marine Rescue and SES staff are often running out into it. In the past few weeks I’ve met some extraordinary Port Macquarie locals, many of whom have dedicated their lives and their own time to undertake unpaid and often dangerous work. I recently had the great honour of presenting Federal Government awards to Port Macquarie Marine Rescue stalwart Wendy Young and SES volunteer Shane Hughes. For 23 years Wendy has worked the radio, been treasurer and vice-president of Marine Rescue Port Macquarie. She’s seen fallout from boating trips gone wrong and storms and weather systems which have wreaked havoc. This includes Port Macquarie Marine Rescue losing its own marine rescue boat during a bar crossing in 1999 which ended in rescues and the boat being lost at sea, only to wash up in Mackay 18 months later.
THE COWPER REPORT
IF you should find yourself wishing to attack a Tasmanian without causing too much damage, you could consider something I found in an 1838 issue of Launceston’s ‘Cornwall Chronicle’. The ‘Chronicle’ had settled on ‘Vandemonian’. It was intended to be a critical remark, a bit surprising for a Tasmanian newspaper. The newspaper ran from 1835 to 1880. I agree that most people have heard of Van Diemen’s Land, the name given by Abel Tasman in 1642 to honour the governor of the Dutch East Indies, Anthony Van Dieman. The name was changed later to Tasmania. But ‘Vandemonian’ is a slightly different word, and some people still use it, not necessarily in a kindly fashion. The ‘Great Australian Treasury of Australian Folklore’ said on page 161, ‘the Vandemonians quickly established a bad name for themselves’. The ‘Cornwall Chronicle’ of 1838 asked if ‘Vandemonia’ was formed other than to ‘propagate the convict’s foul breath’. A character in a letter to the Melbourne ‘Argus’ of January 27, 1888, denied calling his friends ‘Vandemonians’. ‘Vendemonian’ developed into an adjective denoting an inhabitant of Tasmania or something belonging to Tasmania. Some people emphasised the ‘demon’.Words to describe Tasmanians or products of Tasmania over the years have

Shane Hughes is another great community leader recently recognised for decades of volunteer work. For his dedicated 35-year commitment to the Port Macquarie SES, he was recently named Emergency Services Volunteer of the Year by the Rotary Club of Port Macquarie. Shane also was awarded for brave conduct after assisting in a rescue at Mount Seaview after a bus was washed off a causeway. He is also a trainer and assessor and in 2013 was awarded the SES Commissioner’s Certificate of Appreciation. Shane now has a Federal Government award to add to that list. I also have to mention the surf lifesavers who patrol Port Macquarie’s beaches. I spent some time with Port Macquarie Surf Lifesaving Club president Rick Rolfe and a group of surf lifesaving volunteers, including Nipper Mitch Scott. It was terrific to see the sense of community in the club and the joy the Nippers get from training to be our future volunteers.
Stats spark police praise MEMBER for Port Macquarie, Leslie Williams has praised the hard-working men and women in the Mid North Coast Local Area Command for their excellent work to reduce local crime. Mrs Williams said the latest quarterly data from the Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) reflects the tireless efforts of local police and the cooperation of the community. In the 24 months to December 2015, only one of the 17 major offence categories showed a significant upward trend statewide, while seven offences were trending down. Mrs Williams said local data from the Mid North Coast followed the state-wide trend, with most offences stable or trending down. “I am very proud to see a 31% downward trend in stealing from a dwelling category. All other categories have remained stable. “I credit these results to the proactive work of our local police and their efforts to investigate and prosecute crime across our community,” Mrs Williams said. BOCSAR has again identified increases in prohibited drug possession throughout NSW, including a 30.6 percent increase in amphetamine possession and a 35.9 percent increase in cocaine possession. “The secondary crime statistics relating to drug possession remain a concern and highlights the need for the NSW Liberals and Nationals Government to continue to implement our targeted plan to stamp out drugs and support affected communities.”
Putting the demons into Tassie Devils LAURIE BARBER
included ‘Vandemonian’ wheat, ‘Vandemonian’ trains, ‘Vandemonian’ journals, ‘Vandemonian’ youth and ‘Vandemonian’ lawyers. The word is still being used in some quarters. Probably its main use is in regard to the convict era. As late as 1961 a book, ‘Men of Yesterday’, included the sentence “the corrupting processes of the British and Vandemonian legal systems”. But if you come from Tasmania and somebody calls you a ‘Vandemonian’, you should cry or laugh depending on your assessment of the situation. I pass on, for your edification, some words that have been used for or against Tasmanians over the years: ‘Van Diemenese’, ‘Derveners’, ‘Derwent ducks’, ‘mountain devils’, ‘mutton birds’, ‘mutton bird eaters’, ‘barracouters’, ‘raspberry launders’, ‘apple islanders’ and ‘Taswegians’. But if they say you come from ‘Van Diemen’s
land’, that’s probably okay. I’m not sure about the others.On the other hand, not many people have objected to the word ‘felix’. ‘Australia Felix’ (Latin for ‘fortunate Australia’ or ‘happy Australia’) was an early name given by Thomas Mitchell to lush pasture in parts of western Victoria he explored in 1836 on his third expedition. The reports of excellent farming land from Mitchell’s return to Sydney started a land rush. Felix has prompted a rush of other names, from restaurants to bands and even a wartime campaign. It is the Latin for happy or lucky and has prompted many other words, such as felicity. In some respects, it is associated with Australia. But it was acquired as a nickname by the first century BC Roman general Sulla. It also appears in the ‘New Testament’, belonging to the governor of Judea who imprisoned Saint Paul. I couldn’t find the word in any Australian dictionaries. I did find ‘felicitie’ in the First English Dictionary, published in 1604. It was described as ‘happiness’. As a young boy I followed a comic strip called ‘Felix The Cat’. He was always a happy cat and didn’t seem to object to being called Felix at all. But don’t get the word mixed up with ‘felicide’ – the act of killing a cat. lauriebarber.com; lbword@midcoast.com.au

A good time to praise the women who mother our mothers
TODAY (Thursday, May 5) is International Midwives Day and in the lead-up to Mothers’ Day, it is fitting to acknowledge those nurses who help our mothers become mothers. “I had such a positive experience with one midwife during my first delivery, that it gave me an empowerment and an acceptance of how hard it is to be a mum,” says Jo Beck, a third year midwifery student with the University of Newcastle campus at Port Macquarie. The University of Newcastle has been offering the midwife-focused degree since 2012 with six graduating in 2015 and eight in 2015. All, except one, have gained employment locally. One student moved specifically to Port Macquarie to complete the degree in midwifery and has since moved back to Sydney and gained employment there. “With the introduction of the ‘Continuity of Care Experience’, each training midwife is allocated to a mother to follow her from her time of booking in to the maternity unit, attend her antenatal visits and be present at the labour,” explained Dr Lyn Bowen, Lecturer and
Site Convenor with the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the Port Macquarie campus. Shanna Fealy, midwife and lecturer at the University of Newcastle, says she has seen the progression of midwifery from being a part of nursing to an independent profession. Midwives from the degree offered with the University of Newcastle at Port Macquarie are able to register as an independent midwife in various midwifery care models. “One of the most exciting initiatives is the development of a student-led clinic for postpartum mothers, which is funded for one day a week on a Tuesday from 9-1pm at the Port Base Hospital,” says Ms Fealy. International Midwives Day is celebrated on May 5 and International Nurses Day is May 12, the anniversary of the birth of Florence Nightingale. The University of Newcastle will mark the occasion with a celebration at the Port Macquarie Campus in Widderson Street at 12 noon, combined with a fundraising barbeque for the children’s ward of Lampang Hospital in northern Thailand.

Water management a very serious topic WHAT’S most appealing about being on council is involvement in issues that are significant for the community and this week for me it was the water supply. As chair of the Roads and Infrastructure portfolio, with Cr Mike Cusato, we are able to get in early on big picture strategies regarding roads, water and sewer management, which are hardly sexy, but vitally important. Right now council is in the process of developing an Integrated Water Cycle Management plan, covering water management for the next 20 years. As councillors we don’t have a formal or paid role to play in such activities, but we have the opportunity to do so if that’s our interest – which
INSIDE COUNCIL

is part of what makes the councillor role quite different to any other politician. So when I’m handed a draft water management report, as happened this month, it’s entirely my choice how deeply I delve into it. As water is essential to life, I take the topic
very seriously. The process of writing a new water plan doesn’t actually need councillor involvement, because it happens through the work of council staff and consultants regardless whether I or other councillors are involved. A councillor’s contribution on draft plans such as this is purely voluntary, adding to what’s done by staff and their consultants; offering a fresh eye and suggestions for improvement that might step outside the routine box. It’s a matter of teamwork, which is the only way to make the dream work, and council differs from other politics for that reason - with nine elected representatives aiming to work together through their differences and kick goals for the common good. With council elections coming
up in September, I urge anyone interested in excellence in community management to put their hand up and get in the thick of it. On a different note, last month’s council meeting reported some solid financial news that I’d like to share regarding the level of our debt. In 2012 at the beginning of this councillor term, council’s level of debt was approaching $100 million – not outrageous by any means, with councils such as Tweed Heads and Coffs Harbour approaching $200 million, but of concern if it increased.Since then, and despite over $14 million borrowed to upgrade Hastings River Drive, council’s debt by July 2016 will be well under $79 million.

New regulations to make pools safer MAKING Backyard Pools Safer: Late last week the NSW Government commenced new regulations applying to the sale and lease of properties with swimming pools. Under the changes, homebuyers of properties with swimming pools will have 90 days from settlement to rectify non-compliant pool barriers. The new regulations are aimed at creating an effective pool barrier framework that protects the safety of children around backyard swimming pools. Vendors will now need to attach to the contract of sale a Certificate of Compliance or a Certificate of Non-Compliance that outlines what needs to be fixed. While there is no substitute for responsible adult supervision around a swimming pool, a

More information is available at www.olg. nsw.gov.au/public/my-home/swimming-pools Opal Card Top Ups On The Go: Rural and regional customers who occasionally use an Opal card to travel on the public transport network can now top up on the go thanks to the new and improved Opal Travel mobile phone app. The new version of the app has a number of features that make it even easier for local Opal customers to get around. With this new app, travelling with Opal just got even easier. Customers can plan their travels, check their balance and top up their Opal cards to be ready to travel on the day. It’s great news for people who travel to
Sydney and its surrounds. You can locate one of the 2100 Opal retailers to top up or you can simply top up within this innovative new app. The new app, developed by Transport for NSW in partnership with Outware Mobile, also improves the experience for special access customers by offering a voice screen reader compatible feature, as well as information on wheelchair accessible services. The launch of the app comes as the NSW Government announced its commitment to trial a contactless payment with credit and debit cards in 2017, offering customers another easy to use and convenient option for travelling. Customers can download the free Opal Travel app via the Apple App and Google Play stores.
CANBERRA CONNECTIONS With Dr David Gillespie Federal MP for Lyne
COMMUNITY feedback is being sought on the Coalition Government’s new Smart Cities Plan for regional cities and metropolitan cities. The release of the Smart Cities Plan to deliver jobs closer to homes, more affordable housing, better transport connections and healthy environments will provide a renewed national focus on Australia’s metropolitan and regional cities, and will help build an innovative and prosperous nation. I’d like to encourage people across the MidNorth Coast to provide input on jobs closer to homes, more affordable housing, commutes to and from work and technology solutions to improve sustainability. Our government is already investing a record $50-billion in infrastructure and we want to significantly expand our capacity to deliver more priority projects through innovative ideas about how they might be funded and delivered. The Smart Cities Plan prioritises smart investment, smart policy and smart technology to improve our cities. It includes: • establishment of an infrastructure financing unit to work closely with the private sector on innovative financing solutions • committing $50 million to accelerate planning and development works on major infrastructure projects to develop business cases and investment options More and more of the new jobs were at the skilled end of the service economy and those jobs tended to cluster in areas where there were ‘like’ organisations and skillsets. Regional cities, and suburban centres, which have been traditionally regarded as second tier cities, have a huge potential to break open the clustering in our capital cities and attract rapid jobs growth. City Deals would be at the heart of smart policy for regional cities. City Deals will provide common goals across levels of government – local, state and federal. They will support industry and employment centres and infrastructure investment linked to broader reforms. Feedback on the #SmartCitiesPlan is welcome through the cities website www.dpmc.gov.au/ cities On another matter, many people have expressed concern to me about Labor’s proposal to reintroduce a new Carbon Tax. As many people have suggested, electricity prices will skyrocket under Federal Labor’s plans to double Australia’s emission reduction targets. While the Coalition Government has signed up to reduce carbon emissions to 28% of 2005 levels by 2030, Labor has announced a new target of 45%. The introduction of an Emissions Trading scheme with targets approaching double other industrialised nations household power prices will increase and cost jobs. It appears Labor hasn’t learned anything from its 2013 election defeat when the electorate rejected its carbon tax.

Local band is finding home in spotlight

Young Port Macquarie band Hunt For Home, from left, Kyle Moore, Wade Mobbs, Silhouette Woods and Luke Glover
By LIZZIE McLEOD PORT Macquarie musicians are reaching for the stars and are encouraging other young talents to follow. Local rock band ‘Hunt for Home’ is gearing up for another successful stint of live shows and new recordings, while also finding time to support local community causes. “We’ve got our recordings coming up very soon in Newcastle and we have a lot of positive things happening with the band,” said Silhouette Woods, vocalist for ‘Hunt for Home’. The band will be heading to Lake Cargelligo to perform on May 27 to over 150 teenagers. The performance is a part of a program to reduce drug and alcohol harm within aboriginal communities. “One of our sponsors - 3are1 Project Lake Cargelligo - is a big project that aims to bring together three different Aboriginal tribes and connect all the youth through music,” said Silhouette. The band is also setting records around Port and is keeping locals happy and wanting more. “We had 10 encores at a recent performance at
Bago (vinveyards),” Silhouette said. “We were meant to be there for three hours but we were like ‘let’s go for four’. “I think as a band performing to the locals it is always good fun because you get a very different reaction from performing outside the local area. “There are people here who know us so they come along as friends.” Coming from a smaller regional centre can sometimes be an unspoken topic for bands wanting to ‘make it’ in the big city. However, for this band there is nothing they would shy away from when talking about their hometown. “Honestly I think we are very proud coming from a smaller region,” said Silhouette. “The majority of the band have lived here and have grown up here. “I think that music needs to be more highlighted in the smaller areas and I think there needs to be a lot more support for kids who want

to be in a band or kids who want to get up and sing or learn to play guitar or drums. We do have a lot of talented people here and a lot of talented musicians.” ‘Hunt for Home’ are not just aspiring musicians they are also fantastic role models. “I think a lot of people look at us and take us at face value and and think, ‘Oh black clothes, black hair, they’re heavy metal’. We aren’t like that. We have a look and we have a style and people should be able to be whoever they want to be, and still be able to achieve whatever they want to be able to achieve in this world,” explains Silhouette. “I think we stand for that. We make music we want to make and we look different and that’s okay. “The band started with myself and Luke Glover, the bass player. “We met through another band and we wanted
to start our own band. We got our manager and then we needed a drummer and a guitar player. “So then we met our drummer Wade (Mobbs) and then our guitarist Kyle (Moore). I can’t say enough about how talented the three boys are. They’re very good. “Luke was self taught and he is just incredible. Kyle is the same. He learnt a lot off his grandfather. Wade took lessons in Port and then throughout school and he’s just come out as this amazing drummer. We are all from different places and we all bring our different influences as well.” The band also receives a lot of support from their two sponsors - Cooks Printing Port Macquarie and 3are1 Project Lake Cargelligo.

Darryl’s catch of the day
changed to its present name in 2010, the Marine Rescue Service’s one main goal is to save lives at sea. It also provides a radio-safety service to the boating public and a rescue service if the need
arises. So far this year there have been eight rescues, roughly two a month. “Sometimes it varies and a month will go by without a rescue then at other times we go out three or four times,” Unit Commander Hartley said. Their rescue boat is a 10-metre Niad, rigid inflatable that is accredited to 30 nautical miles to sea. The service also runs two jet skis for rescues on the bar. While the Marine Rescue service gets some money from a State Government levy on boating licences, the funds are split between 46 other units across NSW. So its main fundraiser is an annual raffle, which this year raised about $6000. The service is manned seven days a week from 6am to 6pm. There are 79 volunteers but only 30 are active, so more volunteers are always welcome. Unit Commander Hartley urges the boating public to contact the Marine Rescue Base before crossing the bar because it could save your life. So log on to VHF Channel 16 or 73, or 27Mhz and channels 83 to 88. All calls are registered on the Seahawk system, which means that if a boat is back one minute late an alarm goes off. Marine Rescue volunteers then check to see if the person’s car and trailer is still in the car park. If the boat hasn’t returned in one more hour the police are notified.
THE Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service’s Hastings Support Group has rattled their money tins, sold many a raffle ticket, served thousands of sausage sandwiches, made hundreds of lamingtons and provided some wonderful events in the Hastings Valley over the past ten years. The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service relies heavily on the community’s support. In fact, 60% of the total operating budget is paid for by the generous donations of the community it serves by way of sponsorships, payroll deductions, events and of course supporting the wonderful volunteers in their events and activities. “We are so fortunate to have a great bunch of people in our group but we’re always looking for more likeminded people to join us to make the workload lighter. There’s nothing more
satisfying than hearing the rotor blade noise of the chopper overhead as they make their way to help someone in need knowing you are an integral of it,” said Bruce Cant, Hastings Support Group Chairperson. “I would like to extend our sincere appreciation on behalf of the Service and those who have been assisted by the helicopter crew. Simply put, the valuable life saving missions undertaken by the rescue helicopter service would not be free to our community without the incredible work of our volunteers,” said Community Liaison Officer Kylie Morris. If you would like to make a difference in people’s lives and become a Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service Volunteer, contact Kylie Morris on 0429 818 627 or email kylie.morris@rescuehelicopter.com.au.

WHEN 19-year-old Macleay Valley local, Darryl Wood, won first prize in the annual Marine Rescue NSW Trial Bay Unit’s annual raffle, he was shocked. And no wonder, considering the total prize value was $7990. Drawn last week at the service’s base at South West Rocks (SWR), first prize was a Stacer 359 Proline family runabout, with a galvanised trailer and registration, a Suzuki DT 155 motor, safety equipment and fuel tank and line. Second prize was a $300 fuel voucher and third prize was a $100 BCF voucher. Darryl was at work at Akubra when he received several phone calls and thought he had better answer them. ‘It turned out to be Marine Rescue telling me I had won the boat,” he said, obviously still smiling. A keen fisherman, Darryl plans to make good use of his prize. President of the RSL Sub-branch of SWR, Alex Robinson, drew the raffle’s winning tickets. He said the Marine Rescue Unit fulfilled a critical role at SWR and should be supported. Beyond the base’s wrap-around windows, sun-dappled, blue swells roll into Horseshoe Bay and white-capped waves break across the bar into the Macleay River. All the volunteers’ eyes turn to watch as a fishing vessel makes its way back across the choppy bar, a feat that should only be attempted at high tide if your vessel draws more than three
Marine Rescue NSW Trial Bay Unit volunteers, Mark Winn and Stan Keifer, presenting firstprize winner, Darryl Wood, with his new boat feet or roughly one metre. According to Acting Unit commander, Phil Hartley, the bar is shallower than ever and can be dangerous. Established as the Coastal Patrol in 1992 and

Shop Manager, Troy Terp, pictured, would like to invite people to see how the shop operates and what is required of volunteers in a Lifeline Shop. “Volunteers are the life-force of our business. We would like to invite people to take a look around the shop, have a cup of tea and learn about volunteering,” he said. Troy is committed to helping people realise their potential through skill building, experience and encouragement in sharing ideas in a vibrant and exciting retail environment. “It would be great to see more people volunteering, it has so much to offer.

PORT Macquarie Neighbourhood Centre and Volunteer HQ will be hosting a joint event as part of the celebrations of Neighbourhood Centre and National Volunteer for the week May 9-15. Port Volunteer Festival will be held on Thursday, May 12 at the Port Macquarie Historic Courthouse and the Glasshouse forecourt commencing at 9.30am. The festival is an outdoor showcase celebrating contribution and connection. Volunteering plays a key role in strengthening communities by creating networks between people who generate a range of positive social practices. There will be a variety of local volunteer groups on hand for those interested in volunteering, work experience and work placement opportunities. Volunteering can be a powerful tool for promoting inclusion and empowering individuals to be actively engaged in their community. The festival provides a way for not-forprofit groups to stand out in the community. “We are committed to taking a wholeof-community approach to recognising the social and economic value of volunteering. The festival has become an important day to recognise the work community groups do”, says Beck Miles, Volunteer Program Coordinator. A fresh new addition to the festival this year will include representatives from the community services sector. “It can be difficult for people to know where to access support but by joining with the Volunteer Festival we will be able to provide a
Beck Miles, Volunteer HQ Coordinator, and Julie Trowbridge, Neighbourhood Centre Coordinator, gearing up for the Port Volunteer Festival on May 12 ‘one stop shop’, in an open and safe communal area,” says Julie Trowbridge, a coordinator with the Port Macquarie Neighbourhood Centre. “There will be a range of services to chat to, including Tenants Advice, Fair Trading, Community Legal and Health services”. As part of National Volunteer week, Volunteer Centres around NSW are encouraging communities to get together to form the biggest Human V. “We are encouraging all our local schools, sporting clubs and other local groups to get involved and recognise volunteers by forming your own unique ‘Human V’ to thank the volunteers who are a part of your service,” explained Beck.

The dramatic change can be seen in the before, left, and after photos of the kitchen featured on Selling Houses Australia on the Lifestyle Channel
Resurfacing now a ‘national TV star’ IN February this year North Coast Resurfacing along with Resurfacing Australia appeared on Selling Houses Australia on the Lifestyle Channel. We were proud to assist a couple that were having trouble selling their home in its current state get a fresh ‘new look’ kitchen. Budget and logistic restraints meant they were unable to afford or organise a new kitchen. Starting with the cupboards, we resurfaced
the dark with orange undertone kitchen cupboards to fresh inviting white. The cream dated splash back tiles were also brightened with a resurfaced white gloss and the benchtop was renewed with a ‘Desert Stone’ look. The whole kitchen resurfacing makeover was completed in just under 3 days. Brightening up the kitchen made the whole area inviting again and the host of the show
Time to check alarms
MAY 1 is the 10-year anniversary of alarm legislation requiring each building in which individuals sleep to possess a minimum of one smoke alarm, Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) recommends residents replace smoke alarms every 10 years, which means alarms installed to ensure compliance with 2006 requirements may now need replacement. It is highly recommended that every household be armed with functioning fire alarms, fire extinguishers and fire blankets to ensure they are well prepared. Devising and implementing a fire escape plan that identifies the quickest and safest way out of the residence is also valuable. According to FRNSW data, 56 percent of fatal house fires between 2000 and 2014 occurred in homes where no smoke alarms were present. FRNSW also estimates that only 75 percent of houses have a working smoke alarm. The
sensitivity of smoke alarms decreases over time and most types of alarms need to be replaced every 10 years, even if the test button says the alarm is functioning correctly. An outdated or faulty smoke alarm may just be as dangerous as having no smoke alarm at all. Being unprotected from the possibility of a fire can double the chance of serious injury or death. To know when your smoke alarm was manufactured, look for a batch number, which is typically printed near the battery compartment. A batch number of 1016 indicates that the product was manufactured in the tenth week of 2016. Alarms should have a date of manufacture printed clearly on the base, while some manufacturers now place the expiry date on the smoke alarm. To find out more about fire safety and replacing fire alarms, visit www.fire.nsw.gov.au/ realarm/#Replace
called the resurfacing ‘real estate gold’ as it had dramatically transformed the entire kitchen from drab and dated to fresh and modern. When selling your home, look at your kitchen and bathroom to see how improving these can increase your chances of getting the sale over the line and at a price your happy with. Many property owners have already benefited from the dramatic changes resurfacing has produced and for a lot less time, money and
bother than a slow, messy renovation. Just as seen on Selling Houses Australia the changes to these rooms can make all the difference. If you have a tired dated kitchen, resurfacing can be a great way to bring in a fresh modern look. Transforming old to new in just a few days.

Mum’s gift may disappoint
FAIR Trading NSW Commissioner Rod Stowe has urged consumers to buy smart this Mother’s Day and to be aware of the terms and conditions of store gift cards and vouchers. “When it comes to our Mums, many Australians want to ensure their gift is one Mum will really appreciate and store gift cards or vouchers for services such as manicures or massages are very popular choices,” said Mr Stowe. “There is no denying the benefits of gift cards; they offer flexibility for the recipient to choose from many items in a store, or book a service at a time and place that is most convenient. “However, consumers do need to read the fine print at the time of purchasing and redeeming a card. So far this year, NSW Fair Trading has received 102 complaints about gift cards. “Australians spend billions of dollars on gift cards every year and we are reminding buyers
that money can be wasted on these products if they aren’t redeemed.” Card expiry was the number one complaint consumers made against gift cards. While some traders may extend the expiry date as a goodwill gesture, they are not legally obligated to do so. Other complaints relate to the store cards of businesses that had entered receivership and gift cards no longer being honoured, as well as disputes about the balance left on cards. There were also concerns about cards that offer ‘top-up’ options so that the balance, once spent, can be re-loaded. “The potential issue for consumers purchasing a card that can be topped up with cash again and again is that these cards do have an expiry date, just like other gift cards,” Mr Stowe said. “A consumer could potentially re-load their card not realising that the pending expiry date is due before that balance is going to be spent.”

Tim Heard pictured with a simple home for native bees
Tim can help bring native bees ‘home’ TIM Heard is an entomologist, ex-CSIRO research scientist, publisher of many research papers and articles and long-term keeper and promoter of Australia’s native stingless bees and native bees in general and is visiting Port Macquarie next week. “When most of us think of bees, we imagine the European Honey Bee, with its distinctive yellow and black stripes,” said Ms Susanna Bradshaw, Chief Executive Officer of the Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife. “But did you know there are over 1,500 native bees across Australia? And most of these bees look nothing like their European cousins. “Native bees are very important for pollination in our natural environment and for agriculture. Without them, many plants would no longer be able to reproduce. “The introduced European Honey Bee is very common in Australia but only accounts for around 5% of pollination. Our Aussie bees are just as important for pollination especially in remote areas like deserts where introduced honey bees don’t venture.” Obtaining his first stingless bee hive in 1985, Tim now keeps more than 300 hives of three species around south-east Queensland.
He has personally propagated more than 2000 new colonies. Tim has developed new hive designs for stingless bees that allow easy and sustainable propagation of new hives and extraction of honey. He has presented workshops and seminars for more than 20 years on bees in general, and on keeping stingless bees in particular. Tim currently runs Sugarbag Bees, which produces stingless bee hives, offers beekeeping services, and conducts workshops, seminars and research on workshops, seminars and research on Australia’s native stingless bees. Come along to the Port Macquarie Library to hear Tim talk about the keeping of native bees on Tuesday May 10 at 1pm. For more information about native bees and Tim Heard visit www.sugarbag.net Also, ‘Backyard Buddies’ is a free program run by Australia’s Foundation for National Parks and Wildlife. Each month, you get a Backyard Buddies email (B-mail) with tips to make your backyard inviting and safe for native animals. Solitary native bees feature in the March B-mail.

FOR a limited time Port Macquarie-Hastings residents who are running out of room for their recycled rubbish can order a free larger Yellow Recycling Bin. Residents who order the larger 360 litre bin before June 30 will pay nothing to have their new bin delivered and the old one taken away. Council Director Matt Rogers said the larger yellow-lidded recycling bins were proving popular with residents and helped make it easier for residents to recycle even more. “Around a third of residents already have the larger yellow bin, and almost 1000 households took up the special offer to upgrade for free last year,” Mr Rogers said. “The free recycling upgrade is one way Council is helping to get waste sorted, and whilst many residents have embraced recycling there is still more we can all do to reduce our impact on the environment, and keep community costs down. It’s really important and really easy to recycle right. One way is to place all your recyclables into the bin separately instead of cramming mixed
materials into boxes. So remove lids, flatten boxes, rinse out containers and put everything in loosely to make it easier to sort at the recycling centre. Contamination is also a big problem in our recycling bins and causes valuable resources to end up in local landfill. Never put plastic bags, foam, polystyrene, broken glass, mirrors, ceramics or medical waste into the recycling bin. So what can be recycled? Plastic containers numbered 1 to 7, paper, cardboard, steel and aluminium cans, glass bottles and jars. You can even recycle empty aerosols, clean pizza boxes and window envelopes. Residents interested in receiving a free larger yellow recycling bin and having their old bin removed should call Council’s Bin Hotline on 6581 8787 to place their order by June 30. For more information on what can and can’t be recycled, plus a behind the scenes video visit Council’s website pmhc.nsw.gov.au/bins or download the free Port Macquarie WasteInfo App.

Photographer brings passion to Wauchope TO describe Silva Vaughan-Jones’ interest in photographing birds and endangered wildlife as a ‘passion’, is an understatement. “The more I photograph wildlife here and overseas, the more research I do, the more I get depressed about the future survival of just so many animals,” says Ms Vaughan-Jones, 69, a photographer for nearly 40 years and a teacher of photography locally and in Sydney for 30 years. “One of the reasons I do community talks with my work is to try and raise awareness of the plight of so many species both here and abroad. “The facts and figures are frightening, I don’t want to scare people but I think they should start to get scared at the state of our environment.”
Silva has recently travelled to the Serengeti, the Masai Mara and Amboseli national parks of Kenya and Tanzania in Africa and has taken the most stunning images you will ever see. Silva will present images taken of her visit in Africa, New Zealand and of Australia, as Silva is also an active member of the Hastings Birdwatchers, and talk about the challenges of photographing them. Silva’s presentation will be from 11am on Saturday, May 7 at the Wauchope Arts Council Hall in Oxley Lane, Wauchope. For enquiries, ring Silva on 6586 1813 and for a taste of what you will see, visit Silva’s website at www. silvavaughanjones.com

Daniel’s directing debut A Unique ‘muso’ Plenty of laughs for local theatre group
By LIZZIE McLEOD DANIEL Parlevliet will be feeling plenty of excitement, and nerves, when the curtain rises tomorrow night (Friday, May 6) on The Players Theatre’s ‘The Producers’. Daniel has been a part of Port Macquarie’s Players Theatre for 12 years, but this is his debut as director. As the clock ticked closer and closer to opening night Daniel’s demeanour remained calm. “It’s coming together quite well,” he said. “The cast are all working together really well. The band are sounding great. Our vocal coach has done a fantastic job,” said Daniel. “The audience can expect lots of laughs. It’s your typical Mel Brooke’s show. Lots of overthe-top witty banter. “We try to stick as close to Mel Brook’s original as we can, following the ideas of the original director and choreographer. “It’s a great feel to get out on the stage and be able to make people have some sort of reaction to the show. Whether they are laughing because they are enjoying the show or can feel the deep emotion from the show. “It’s quite an intimate theatre so you can actually feel the audience’s reaction whilst you are on stage.” And of course, local theatre is exactly that – local. “One of the leads works as part of the customer service team at the Glasshouse and another is a local singer and entertainer,” explains Daniel. The production is based on the 1968 film
A rehearsal scene from The Players Theatre’s ‘The Producers’, which opens on Friday night by Mel Brooks which tells the story of Max Bialystock, an unsuccessful Broadway producer who is determined to climb his way to the top by partnering up with mousy accountant Leo Bloom. The two believe that making a flop of a show could actually make more money than a hit - and that is the beginning of their journey to produce the worst musical in the history of Broadway. The show includes chorus girls popping out of filing cabinets, Nazi pigeons, and a gay Hitler. ‘The Producers’ opens on Friday, May 6,
and will go through to May 22 at The Players Theatre, Port Macquarie. Tickets are $30, $27 for concession, $18 for under 18s, and $25 for Players Theatre members. Visit http://www.playerstheatre.org.au for more information or call The Glasshouse on 6581 8888. Purchase of tickets can also be made at the Players Theatre on the corner of Gordon and Lord Street, Port Macquarie, one hour prior to the show.
A DO It Yourself musician like no other, Claude Hay will soon be bringing his selfmade musical equipment to Port Macquarie. The singer, songwriter, and do everything himself-er, will be putting on a show like no other. Claude Hay has built all his own equipment – including ‘Betty’ his doublenecked guitar, ‘Stella’ his new ‘Cigar Box’ guitar, his very own dome house and studio, and even renovated his tour van including a shower and bar. However, being a Do It Yourself man is just one of his many talents. Claude has genuine musical talent and his third album ‘I Love Hate You’ resulted in him winning ‘Male Vocalist of the Year 2012’ in the Australian Blues Music Chain Awards. His unique music can be described as a mix of stomping traditional blues, hard rock, and booty-shaking funk. Claude has already completed six European tours, including some of the biggest blues festival there. His current tour will be celebrating the release of his new single ‘Love No More’. The single sees Claude blend bluesy guitar tunes, catchy melodies, and reggae grooves, whilst speaking about a close friend going through divorce. As always it is tradition for Claude Hay to build a new guitar for each new recording, and he has stuck to his word by creating his new guitar called ‘Jerri’, made from a tenlitre Jerry can.

HASTINGS Co-op has launched a generous initiative to raise vital funds for Port Macquarie Base Hospital’s Maternity Unit through the sale of souvenir pins commemorating the cooperative’s centenary year. Chief executive officer Allan Gordon said the 100-year pins, which are available at all
N
24
13 Hastings Co-op businesses, reinforces the organisation’s family-friendly focus and its appreciation of the Maternity Unit’s vital role in the community. “The Maternity Unit is the birthplace of babies in the Hastings so it’s fitting that the proceeds of the 100-year pins will help the next generation of Hastings residents. “The initiative is all about showing our support for the Maternity Unit, the area’s young families and our newest residents, who are the future of our region. “While 2016 is a time for Hastings Co-op to reflect on our achievements over the past 100 years, we are looking forward to the next 100 years and continuing to give back to the community which has helped us thrive.” In thanking Hastings Co-op, Mid North Coast Local Health District chief executive Steward Dowrick spoke of the valued relationship between the two organisations and congratulated the co-operative on its community-focussed 100year celebrations. “We have a valued relationship with the Hastings Co-op forged over many years through their support of the Wauchope and Port Macquarie hospitals,” Mr Dowrick said. “One hundred years of service to the Hastings community is a remarkable achievement and we are particularly grateful that the Hastings Co-op has decided to focus part of that celebration on raising money for a service that supports families throughout the region. “The funds raised through the sale of the 100th anniversary pins will make a difference to the families who will make good use of hospital’s maternity services for years to come.”

footytips
Take a breather and ‘Go ‘Roos!’ TIME to take stock. After nine rounds of the National Rugby League it’s time for tipsters to take a breather as players go into this weekend’s rep round which includes the Australia v New Zealand Test match (Friday night) and the annual City versus Country derby on Sunday. Many tipping comps include one, or both, of these two games as part of their tipping schedule, so Your Local Independent (YLI) will offer our tips at the bottom of this column. If you are following YLI’s tips you should be doing OK and still well in striking distance of the leaders. Last weekend was a tad ordinary. Just 4. The upset we went for – Titans to beat the Storm on the Gold Coast didn’t pan out. And the upset we predicted, but didn’t take, was the Sharks over the Broncos. Just like in the real game, luck plays a major role in tipping. Who in their right mind – except for my mate Danny, a fanatical Tigers fan – would have tipped them to beat the Rabbits. Just shows how bad the Rabbits are going. Then of course there’s the Warriors. For a number of weeks we have given them the benefit of the doubt, only to see them come up very short. When we tip against them, they finally come good and beat the Dragons. The stats always tell the story, and as we look at the ladder a third of the way into the season it is the Cowboys, Broncos, Storm and Sharks all on top on seven wins. As most street-corner experts are shouting, the Broncs and Cows are the form sides who are strongly backed as the two teams who will fight out this year’s GF. There is no surprise in the Storm’s placement. However the Sharks, although predicted to go well, are one of the pleasant surprises for 2016. Even without ‘Gal’ for a big chunk of the season

they are genuine final 4 chances. The other ‘feel-good’ story is the Eels. This proud club had a mighty run during the ‘80s, winning their four premierships in 1981, ’82, ’83, ’86. But they have been in a drought ever since. Parra are currently in fifth spot with six wins. With a little momentum and belief anything is possible. The Raiders (7th) and the Panthers (8th) are two other clubs who threaten to do something special this season. Penrith especially can be considered very unlucky not to be even further up the ladder. Of their five losses, they have gone down three times by just two points, once by five points and their biggest losing margin is by eight. If the ball starts to bounce their way expect a big remainder of the season from the Mountain Men. The Bulldogs (6th) will figure in the eight. If

despair. Even the last-placed Knights are just two and a half wins out of the eight. And in this comp, anything is possible. For tipping this weekend: Kangaroos v Kiwis (Fri, May 6, 7.50pm, Hunter Stadium, Newcastle): The Kiwis have a happy knack of pulling the Aussies’ pants down in Test matches. This stops on Friday night. The reason: Mal Meninga. This league icon forged the Qld Maroons into an awesome machine and will do the same for the Kangaroos. The only coach with the physical presence to look any player in the eyes and demand their best performance. • Your Local Independent tips: Kangaroos Country v City (Sunday, May 8, 4pm, Scully Park, Tamworth): Flip a coin. This game is like a rugby league scrum, part of the rich history of the game, but of no current relevance. So we flipped a coin, and… • Your Local Independent tips: City

their attack fires then they too will be a contender. The big disappointments to date have been the Rabbitohs (12th) and the Warriors (10th). Injuries have played a role in the Rabbits demise, but they have a deep roster and so their poor form is an indication of bigger problems. The Warriors continue to be the ‘Dave Taylor’ of the competition. They can beat anyone when they really want to, it just seems they don’t really want to very often. Looking at the bottom eight the two teams that could turn their fortunes around quickly are the Rabbits and also the Roosters. With Mitchell Pearce and Jared WaereaHargreaves back the Roosters had a little more bite in downing Newcastle last weekend. They do have a talented roster and with Pearce moving them around there is plenty of blue sky potential for their fans for the remainder of the year. For supporters of all other teams, don’t

Casey’s an all-rounder By CHRISTINA PARKIN OUR junior sporting ace of the week, Casey Munn, attends Hastings Secondary College Westport Campus and was recently selected to receive a $500 scholarship from the school’s Parents and Citizens’ Association. “I love the challenge of sport and how it pushes me to go harder and be the best I can be,” says 12-year-old Casey. There are four scholarships awarded to Year 7 students at the start of the year who have proven their talents in the fields of sport, academic, culture and community, to use towards their achievements in their chosen field. Casey Munn was selected for showing a promising future in sport. Casey has represented her school and the North Coast Region in cross country, touch football, and soccer and has expressed a desire to play basketball at a senior level in the future. Last year, Casey played representative basketball in the ‘Seaside Classics’ held at St Columba and was the Westport Primary zone representative for cross-country and 800m. When Casey competed in the Port Macquarie Ironman Fun Run, she completed the course in 45 minutes. With her dad being a keen hockey and basketball player, Casey’s introduction to sport began in Year 3, when she started playing hockey as a team sport. “I like the team involvement, it’s not just about you; it’s about sharing the experience with the team,” says Casey. Casey plays basketball at the Indoor Stadium every Friday and trains every Wednesday during the season. However, Casey likes to practice every day and has a specific goal to improve her lefthanded dribbling by practising using her left

In addition to playing basketball at school during lunch and every other opportunity, Casey also enjoys kayaking and stand-up paddle boarding. As to having a favourite sporting hero, Casey said that she’d rather play sport than watch it, but also said: “I would like to represent Westport Campus in basketball and hockey and go as far as I can in the sport for the school and my team.” Casey has also taken an interest in golf, so it’s a tough choice on what sporting gear she will select to spend the scholarship on, however part will go to a better pair of shoes for basketball or a second-hand set of golf clubs.

Netball mums are in line for some praise
NETBALL great Sharelle McMahon, pictured, and Mother Earth (Prolife Foods) are looking for two ‘Mothers of Netball’ - women in netball communities who are absolutely dedicated to the game, whether they coach, run the club, manage the team or just attend their club’s every game to support the players. “Mums are often the backbone of netball clubs,” Commonwealth Games Medallist and Mother Earth Ambassador, Sharelle McMahon, said. “They can be involved in everything from coaching, scoring, training, managing clubs and teams as well as just being there as supporters and drivers. And we believe they need recognition for the time and hard-work they put in.” While all mums deserve recognition, the ‘Mother of Netball’ campaign is looking for two stand-out Mums. They’ll receive special thanks including a delicious Mother Earth hamper, a personal surprise visit from Sharelle who will also provide exclusive training sessions for the two teams. “I’ve always said I couldn’t have done it without my Mum. Like many, she played a key role in my netball career. Mums are just amazing support and they do it because it’s just in their nature,” Sharelle said. Nominees are required to enter at the Mother Earth facebook page, submitting in 100 words or less why their nominated mum deserves to be rewarded. Nominations can be supported by images and/or video. The competition will close on Mother’s Day, May 8, with the two winners announced in July. Visit www.facebook.com/ MotherEarthAustralia for entry details.
