Kindy kids survive 100 days of school FROM oversized backpacks and nervous jitters to confident, independent learners, the Kindergarten class of 2026 at St Joseph’s Primary School Laurieton has officially marked a major milestone: the 100th day of school. Students, parents, carers, and staff gathered on Thursday, 30 July, 2026 for a joyous celebration reflecting on the past 100 days being filled with rapid growth, plenty of laughs, and a few missing jumpers along the way. Addressing the school community, the Kindergarten teachers highlighted the remarkable transformation of the

Community Connection Day a success By Luke HADFIELD

The concept was developed by Chamber executive committee members Chan Ansell, Treasurer Amy Vandenhurk and Acting Secretary Rachael Thorpe, who recognised the value of creating a single event where community organisations and residents could come together. Mrs Thorpe said the idea had come together in just six weeks and she was thrilled by the response. "I came up with the idea about six weeks ago and feel privileged to be part of an organisation that is prepared to try new things," she said. "We had a great mix of hobby and sporting groups, charities

THE Camden Haven Chamber of Commerce has successfully trialled a new community initiative, with its inaugural Community Connection Day attracting strong support from both local organisations and residents. Held at Laurieton United Services Club, the free event brought together 45 local clubs, charities, sporting groups, service organisations and special interest groups, creating an opportunity for them to showcase what they do, connect with one another, and welcome new members from across the community.

and service organisations. “The feedback from both exhibitors and visitors has been extremely positive, and at this stage we certainly hope to run it again next year." With Camden Haven continuing to attract retirees and families seeking a coastal lifestyle, the event also highlighted the importance of helping newcomers establish social connections. Relocating to a new community often means leaving behind established networks of friends, clubs and volunteer organisations, making events such as Community Connection Day an important way to discover opportunities to get involved. While supporting local businesses remains the Chamber's primary focus, initiatives such as Community Connection Day reflect the important role that strong communities play in creating a thriving local economy. Community groups, sporting clubs, charities and volunteer organisations help make Camden Haven an attractive place to live, work and visit, while also providing valuable support networks for residents. By helping people connect with these organisations, the Chamber hopes to strengthen the social fabric of the region, recognising that vibrant communities and successful local

businesses often go hand in hand. Among those attending was newcomer Faye Kennedy, who moved to the area in April. "I came down to the event and found exactly what I wanted, UHA, a wonderful group of crafty ladies, and the opportunity to volunteer with Aussie Battlers," she said. "I loved attending and found everyone to be so friendly." The Chamber believes the success of the event demonstrates the strength and diversity of Camden Haven's volunteer and community sector, with dozens of organisations represented under one roof. Following the positive response, the Chamber is now exploring ways to further support local community groups, including the creation of a dedicated community directory on its website, visitcamdenhaven. com.au, making it easier for residents and visitors alike to discover clubs, volunteer opportunities and community organisations throughout the region. With strong feedback from exhibitors and attendees alike, Community Connection Day appears set to become an annual fixture on the Camden Haven calendar, further strengthening the connections that make the region such a welcoming place to call home.

Proposed link trail gains momentum By Rachael THORPE BETTER By Bicycle Port Macquarie president Felicity Forth is confident that a ride held for local government officials on 1 August on the proposed Town to Googik Link Trail showcased the enormous potential of the project. “It’s a beautiful ride to a beautiful part of the world and the great thing is 90 per cent of the work has already been done,” Ms Forth said. “To complete this trail, we just need around 320 metres of footpath to be upgraded to a shared path and, of course, signage to show people the way.” Present at the ride were Member for Port Macquarie Robert Dwyer, local disability advocate Sarah-Lynn Eade, several Port Macquarie Hastings Councillors, and members

of the bicycle group. “The proposed track is fantastic for everyone regardless of mobility,” Ms Eade said. “I could easily take my wheelchair over it while my son rode his bike. “This will be an excellent outdoor activity for locals and visitors alike.” Local councillors have enthusiastically voted in favour of council staff investigating the proposal further.

sustainable,” Cr Tubman said. “Every trip made by bike helps reduce traffic congestion, improves individual wellbeing, and creates a more vibrant community." Completing the trail would result in an 11km multi-use track from the town centre through Lake Innes Reserve to The Point Drive - entirely off-road. If the proposed NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service extension of the Googik Track to Lake Cathie goes ahead, this proposed trail would help create a 24 km walking and cycling track between the two towns, which is viewed by the group as providing a significant boost to cycle tourism in the area.

Laurieton to honour veterans this August By Rachael THORPE

THE Laurieton RSL subBranch is holding two significant commemorative events at Laurie Memorial Park during August and members of the community are warmly invited to attend. At 11am on 10 August a service will be held in honour of Middle East Area of Operations Day (MEAO), which commemorates the anniversary of 10 August 1990 when former Prime Minister Bob Hawke announced the commitment of Australian Defence Force ADF personnel to the Middle East following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. Since then, more than

40,000 Australians have served in the Middle East, with 46 losing their lives during or as a direct result of their deployment, with most of the losses occurring in Afghanistan 2001-2021. President of Laurieton RSL sub-Branch Allan ‘Buster’ Beatty OAM told News Of The Area that “Middle East Area of Operations Day recognises all Australian veterans who have served in the Middle East Area of Operations from 10 August 1990 through to the present day. “It is an opportunity to acknowledge more than three decades of continuous service, to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to recognise

the dedication of the families who have supported our veterans throughout that time,” Mr Beatty said. Acting RSL NSW President Vince Williams CSC will attend the service and deliver the Commemorative Address. The second event will take place at 11am on 18 August, a date that marks the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Long Tan. The Vietnam Veteran’s Day Commemoration Service honours the Australians who served in the Vietnam War, including the 521 who lost their lives and the more than 3,000 who were wounded during the conflict.

Wednesday 29 July. It takes a village to raise a child and this project, supported by the State and Federal governments, as well as individuals and

organisations in the local community, aims to make sure that students have a place to start the day with nutritious food and a genuine sense of connection and belonging. In September 2025 the Lions Club of Port Macquarie Tacking Point was successful in obtaining a NSW Government Community Building Partnership grant of $21,460. Those funds were later contributed towards the total costs of the finished project. Max Carrick, Lions President said, “From the beginning, we could not stand by and see our young people starting their school days hungry. “For us it has always been about the kids, and this café makes it all worthwhile. “We have been involved

Veterans' Day remains an important opportunity to honour all Australians who served during the Vietnam War,” Mr Beatty said. “It also reminds us of the

challenges many veterans faced on returning home and ensures their service, sacrifice and resilience continue to receive the respect and recognition they

deserve." Both services are open to veterans, serving members of the Australian Defence Force, their families and the wider Camden Haven community.

since early 2024 and we have seen this grow from an underfunded group of teachers and support staff to what we see today.” Relieving College Principal Kristen Miller said, “This will make a massive difference to the kids’ ability to learn once they have a decent breakfast. “This gives them the opportunity to grab breakfast, settle down and be able to get on with the day.”

One of the favourites on both campuses is the toasted cheese sandwich, but there is also cereal, fruit and muffins. Westport Campus Principal Barthi Malik said, “This is at the front of the school so kids can grab whatever they need, without judgement. “This offers more than breakfast, it is consistency, friendship, building connections with staff and other students.”

The Lions Club has contributed to the food costs at both Hastings Secondary College breakfast clubs, while Westport Campus’ P & C has also contributed $5000. Steven Mansfield and Susan Harris from the P&C said, “It means the world to us that this can be sustained. “Kids are welcomed by friendly faces and have support as soon as they arrive on campus and can have food in their bellies.”

Maritime Museum looking ship shape By Pauline CAIN

OVER the past few weeks the Mid North Coast Maritime Museum site, on the corner of William Street, transformed with a fresh, new look. Volunteers have repainted the fences, attached new signage and on Wednesday, 29 July, a new signpost and flagstaff were installed. Members and volunteers gathered to celebrate with a sausage sizzle and membership drive. The group operates three sites - the Maritime Museum at William Street, the Pilots Boat Shed in Clarence Street, and the Hibbard Slipway. President Glenn Dick, a signwriter by trade and an artist, produced the new signage. Neil Yates and Bill Oliver painted the fence. Bill also completed painting the small boatshed and workshop.

The volunteers at Hibbard slipway remade the flagstaff, completed some further repairs, and added new yardarms and guy wires. Glenn spoke to the gathering about membership, which currently stands at about 110 members, with more active members needed. “For many reasons it is harder to get newer and younger members onboard but there are a few things in the pipeline which will elevate the platform of this museum to a more professional status.” Vice president Neil Yates took News Of The Area on a tour of the site and explained the projects under way. “Courtesy of the Kendall Community Op Shop we received a donation of $21,700 to restore the garage and we contributed another $8,000 to deal with the

q damaged timber,” he said. “Ship sails have been used to line the walls, replacing the hessian previously used, and the boat and artefacts have been removed for restoration. “The workshop has also been restored, with the removal of the two old doors.

Members and volunteers gathered in the restored community space.

“We have plans for an accessible toilet and other additions to make it a community space. “The remaining buildings need professional lead paint removal and repainting, and we have applied for a grant of $78,000 to deal with that.

“All our buildings will be painted in white and marine blue trim. “This place does not function without our committed volunteers - those at the men’s shed, and our dedicated watch keepers on each site.”

far from the first person to raise it. "When I started asking whether anything had been done before, I received a huge response from people who have been trying to improve this for years," she said. "It became clear this wasn't just my concern. It's something the community has wanted addressed for a long time." The proposed pathway is not a new idea. Port Macquarie-Hastings Council has previously developed plans through its Schools to Schools Shared Pathway project to connect Kendall and Laurieton with a continuous shared path. However, while planning work has progressed, construction of the remaining sections is still subject to the necessary approvals and funding. Rather than seeking the NSW Government to construct the pathway itself, the petition asks the NSW

Government to support and advocate for funding and work cooperatively with Port Macquarie-Hastings Council to deliver continuous, safe pedestrian connections between Laurieton, Lakewood, Kew and Kendall. The proposal aims to improve accessibility while creating safer conditions for residents walking to shops, schools, services and recreational facilities. Ms Louis said local Member for Port Macquarie Robert Dwyer had been supportive throughout the process, particularly when technical issues arose while establishing the petition. "Robert Dwyer has been really good," she said. "There was an issue with the ePetition initially and he helped get it sorted so people could start signing." The issue of safe pedestrian access in the Camden Haven is not new. Over many years, residents and local

ePetition calling for safer footpaths goes live

FROM Page 1 said the idea came after she experienced first-hand the challenges of walking through the area following her move from Nowra. Having initially lived in Dunbogan before relocating

to Kendall, Ms Louis said she quickly noticed the lack of a continuous footpath network linking the communities. "There are pathways, but they're scattered," she said. "There are sections where you have to walk on narrow road shoulders, particularly

between Lakewood and Laurieton. The road surface is uneven and, with so many older people living in our community, it's simply not safe." As Ms Louis began researching the issue, she quickly discovered she was

representatives have advocated for improved walking and cycling infrastructure, with previous questions also raised in the NSW Parliament about improving pedestrian and cycling connections within the region. Under NSW Parliament rules, ePetitions that receive at least 500 signatures require a formal written response from the responsible minister, while petitions attracting 10,000 or more signatures are also debated in the Legislative Assembly. Ms Louis said the early response from the community had been overwhelmingly positive. "The support has been fantastic," she said. "People genuinely want to see something done. This is about making our community safer and more accessible for everyone, regardless of their age or ability." The ePetition is open for signatures through the NSW Parliament website.

Dignity Dishes serving hope, one meal at a time

Dignity Dishes team.

By Rachael THORPE THE foundation of the Dignity organisation is simple, yet profound: ‘[B]y keeping people, families and community at

the heart of everything we do, and providing essential services, such as a safe place, nourishing food, new clothes and education, we walk alongside people on their journey back “home”.’

In the Port Macquarie Hastings region, the flag is flown by Dignity Dishes, which aims to provide food relief and help to prevent people becoming homeless. The Australian Bureau of

Statistics estimates that more than 1.3 million households experience food insecurity, meaning they skip meals, reduce food quality, or go days without eating. Approximately 20

volunteers pick up rescued food from Coles supermarket and deliver it to 15 home cooks, or ‘dishes’, as they are affectionately called. The ingredients are turned into delicious meals, which are stocked in a freezer at PCYC in Port Macquarie. This is accessible, with no questions asked, during the facility’s opening hours. 1500-2000 meals are produced each month for the cause. Dignity Dishes spokesperson Lea Lloyd told News Of The Area that “there is no set schedule for our volunteers, everyone does what they can when they can. “We hear some wonderful stories about the immediate

impact of what we’re doing,” Ms Lloyd said.. “Our volunteers are wonderful, as are the PCYC staff.” The meals are clearly labelled before being frozen; and while they are unable to cater for allergies, vegetarian meals are available. All the meat and vegetables are donated; however, pantry items are purchased via grants and donations, with the organisation hoping to partner with local businesses to source more food supplies. Volunteers are always welcome, with no minimum commitment required. Enquiries to secretary@ sunrise-rotary.org.au

Building a Community, One Connection at a Time When my husband John and I founded Coralville Care, we had one simple goal: create the kind of care service we would trust with our own family. We believed that if we looked after our team, they would, in turn, provide exceptional care to the people they support. It’s a philosophy we’ve never wavered from—because happy team members create happy clients. As a locally owned and operated organisation, we’re incredibly proud that many of our team members were born and raised right here on the Mid North Coast. They understand our community because they’re part of it, and they bring genuine compassion and local knowledge to every visit. From the beginning, we wanted to be different from the larger organisations. We didn’t just want to provide support—we wanted to build a community. Today, our regular pool days, family barbecues and social events bring together participants, their families, support workers and friends, creating lasting friendships and reducing social isolation. While many people know us for supporting those living with disability through the NDIS, we also provide services for people receiving Support at Home packages, as well as private clients. One of our greatest joys is helping aged care residents get back into the community for shopping, coffee, lunch or simply a scenic drive. If you or someone you care about could benefit from personalised, community-focused support, we’d love to chat. Together, we can continue building a community where everyone feels connected, valued and supported.

Stage set for 'maximum' bird flu damage By Andrew STAFFORD, AAP

AN escalating bird flu outbreak is poised to cause "maximum damage" following confirmation of Australia's first mass mortality event. The mass mortality event was confirmed on Monday after a large group of dead and sick greater crested terns at Baudin Rocks, in South Australia, tested positive for the virus. Six new cases were also confirmed in Victoria while a cluster of sick and dead crested terns found in the state's southwest underwent further testing. It bumped the national tally up to 78 including 58 in SA alone - with a further 49 suspected cases. SA Environment Minister Emily Bourke confirmed another case from a petrel found on the Coorong at the mouth of the Murray River, increasing the likelihood of the virus spreading inland. "That location is of concern, because it is where waterbirds are also located," she told reporters in Adelaide. "So it's going from seabirds potentially now into where we know a lot of waterbirds are nesting and using this place as a safe haven." An expert said the concentration of sick and dying birds close to the Murray River's mouth in SA, along with the beginning of the migration season and an encroaching El Nino, looked set to trigger a major outbreak. "It's the perfect mix for the virus to spread and do maximum damage," BirdLife Australia's Sean Dooley told AAP. "Terns are known to come into roost on the Coorong and also on the lakes around Robe (SA), but silver gulls are the ones that are going to move it around." Silver gulls, which readily feed on carrion and are abundant in urban areas, posed the greatest threat, he said. A gull found near Robe, in SA, tested positive for the virus on Saturday. He said waterbirds, which tended to congregate and breed in large flocks, were at most immediate risk. The threat is expected to increase as a predicted super El Niño year tightens its grip on the landscape, bringing hot and dry conditions. "Even though there's been lots of floods

in the outback, once everything starts to dry out you'll get concentrations of waterbirds in dwindling numbers of viable wetlands," Mr Dooley said. "They become potential super-spreader events." He said pelicans - which are currently breeding in Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre - had the capacity to spread the virus into the heart of the continent. Pelicans are among the birds most impacted overseas, with the Peruvian pelican suffering a 40 per cent decline in numbers. Mr Dooley said genetic testing had also been done on black swans, which are unique to Australia. It revealed the species was completely

naive to the virus, leaving it at extreme risk. Other suspect cases were being reported away from the cluster around the Limestone Coast, SA Chief Veterinary Officer Skye Fruean said. Environment Minister Murray Watt warned of a "long, difficult journey" ahead, saying the virus's spread would be confronting and cause significant damage to Australian wildlife. "The reality is you can't stop native and wild birds flying around, you can't stop wild animals moving around, and that will mean more mass mortality events like the one we have now seen," he said in Canberra. The poultry industry is also at significant risk, with Federal Agriculture Minister Julie

Collins not ruling out an outbreak. The World Organisation of Animal Health estimates bird flu has resulted in 140 million dead or culled poultry worldwide. Ms Collins said Australia had learned from its experience eradicating H7 bird flu after outbreaks in 2024 and 2025 as it prepared for the latest spread. The Commonwealth has invested more than $113 million in preparedness and responses. However, Ms Collins could not put a dollar figure on the likely total cost to the economy. She said the cost of eradicating H7 was about $110 million. Authorities said there was minimal risk to human health from bird flu.

accomplished so much," the school announced. "You’ve learned how to be part of our school community, mastered new sounds and tricky words, and discovered maths

all around us." Beyond academic milestones - which included reading, writing, sports, and curating a History museum - the celebration highlighted

the social growth of the students. From learning to line up patiently to showing everyday playground kindness, the Kindy superstars have

quickly found their footing. The school extended heartfelt gratitude to the teachers and staff for their endless patience, as well as the parents and carers for trusting the school "village" with their little ones each day. As the presentation

wrapped up, the message to the Kindergarten Class of 2026 was clear: give yourselves a massive round of applause. You are officially 100 days brighter, 100 days taller, and ready to tackle the next 100.

The cooler days are here, but the sun is shining. Enjoy the warmth on your back and grab a great coffee from Kew Corner Store while you’re out and about.

Mid North Coast students put maths skills to the test By Sis HIGGINS ALMOST 40 schools across the Mid North Coast are

preparing to take part in the 46th Newcastle Permanent Primary School Mathematics Competition, with Year 5 and

6 students set to test their problem-solving abilities in one of Australia's longestrunning maths contests.

The competition began on Monday, 3 August, and challenged students to step beyond their everyday

classroom learning by tackling a series of demanding mathematical questions under timed conditions. The Mid North Coast entered this year's event on the back of a strong 2025 performance. Regional winners last year included Harroop Bahia and Max McCarthy from St Augustine's Primary School, Samir Rabe and Rohen Chung from St Columba Anglican School, Roman Falzon from St Joseph's Primary School, Wingham, and Hugo Wyndham from Bishop Druitt College. Newcastle Permanent spokesperson Paul Juergens said the competition had inspired young mathematicians for more than four decades. "It's really exciting to reach the 46th year of the Newcastle Permanent Primary School Maths Competition," Mr Juergens said. "Maths plays such a crucial role in everyday life, from budgeting, cooking, time management and problem solving, and this competition is a great way to help students see how their skills can be used in real-world situations. "For generations, this competition has given students the chance to test themselves, think creatively

and build confidence in their maths skills. "We look forward to seeing the continued impact this initiative has on our communities into the future." Students had 45 minutes to complete 35 questions covering practical mathematics and problemsolving challenges. In keeping with tradition, calculators and rulers were not permitted. Competition Director Dr Peter Howley said the event encouraged students to develop critical thinking skills while applying mathematics in practical situations. "With career interests and trajectories forming in the primary school years, it is important to provide young students opportunities to engage with mathematics, and the associated critical thinking, problem-solving and quantitative skills, in practical and appealing ways," Dr Howley said. Since its launch in 1981, the competition has attracted more than half a million participants across New South Wales. This year also marked the first time the competition was delivered entirely online, with the new format improving accessibility through features including text-to-speech support.

Rock’n’Roll and Razzle Dazzle

By Pauline CAIN

SHAKE Rattle‘n’Roll - the only 50s and 60s rock ‘n’ roll show of its kind - is set to tour to the Mid North Coast with shows Port Macquarie later this month. Currently in Victoria, the company is heading north for two big shows. On Sunday 30 August there will be a matinee performance at 1.30pm at

Panthers Auditorium in Port Macquarie. Audiences can expect a big stage spectacular with lots of rock’n’roll music, dancing and razzle dazzle. The music features wellknown hits from Elvis, Bobby Darin, Sam Cooke, Johnny O’Keefe, Frankie Valli, Cliff Richard, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, The Everly Brothers, Connie Francis, Roy Orbison, Grease and more.

Five fabulous singers, eight champion ballroom dancers, hundreds of spectacular show costumes, and all the big dance numbers to take audiences back to the 50s and 60s. There is a real sense of joy in the music and this appeals to audiences of all ages, who sing along to their favourites. Jonathan Guthrie-Jones, an accountant by trade, is

touring with the show. Well-known to Melbourne audiences, Jonathan hails from a musical theatre family. He has been performing in the show for 13 years. ”We perform in theatres and clubs all over regional Australia,” said Jonathan. “Every place has such a unique energy and vibe and you can feel that when you step into venues and talk to

audiences afterwards. “This is such a happy story and we’re having a fantastic time on stage. “We’re performers at heart, in the old-fashioned sense, and we love what we’re doing.” Nina Randall, co-founder and executive producer with Dion and Randall International, has 40 years of experience in the industry. “Since COVID we needed to focus locally with national and regional tours,”said Ms Randall. “We’re based in

Melbourne but we’ve travelled right across Australia, with successful seasons of lots of big shows at state theatres and touring to many regional theatres.” “Highly entertaining, eye and ear thrilling show! Powerhouse singers, slick choreography, electrifying dancers and sensational costumes!” THE BLURB Australian Arts and Entertainment Review Bookings: cex.com.au

Community major flood preparedness exercise By Sis HIGGINS PORT Macquarie residents and businesses will have the opportunity to test their flood preparedness when

the NSW State Emergency Service (SES) hosts a community flood exercise next month. The hypothetical "tabletop" exercise will

take place at Port Panthers on Sunday, 13 September, from 10:00am to 12:30pm, bringing together emergency service agencies and the community to explore how

they would respond during a major flood event. The exercise will use realistic scenarios based on rainfall totals and river heights recorded during the

major floods of March 2021 and May 2025. NSW SES Northern Zone Deputy Commander Tony Day said the initiative aimed to strengthen community preparedness and encourage people to think about early evacuation before floodwaters threatened lives and property. “The need for this exercise has been brought about by the significant flood risk that exists for parts of Port Macquarie and the need to foster shared responsibility between the community and emergency services when preparing for, responding to, and recovering from future flood events,” he said. Emergency service representatives will present a series of flood scenarios and explain how their agencies would respond at each stage of the emergency. The panel is expected to include representatives from the NSW Police Force,

Resilience and recovery after a stroke

By Pauline CAIN

STROKE survivor Thomas Graham spoke at the Port Macquarie Hastings Library on Wednesday 29 July ahead of Stroke Awareness Week, which runs from 3-9 August. Thomas’ talk explored how his life changed after he experienced a pontine stroke in May 2023. He wrote a book chronicling the intensive physiotherapy program he followed to regain his physical movement, supplemented by writing poetry, gardening, walking and forest-bathing to maintain his psychological wellbeing. Thomas’ book “Let’s go for a walk: Rebuilding body, mind and spirit after a stroke” is about resilience, recovery and the role that writing and storytelling can play in rebuilding a life after a major health event.

”Writing allowed me to unscramble my jumbled thoughts and calm tender emotions while I kept my focus on restoring lost movement,” said Thomas. Thomas’ story offers encouragement and hope to stroke survivors, trauma sufferers, and those entrusted with their care. Thomas is trained as a Stroke Safe Speaker by the Stroke Foundation, and he also spoke about how to recognise the symptoms of stroke and importance of getting to hospital quickly when experiencing the classic signs of a stroke. Stroke Awareness Week is 3 - 9 August and its message focuses on recognising stroke signs and acting F.A.S.T. to save lives. If you see any of these signs, act fast. FACE drooped. ARMS can’t be raised.

SPEECH slurred or confused. TIME is critical! Call 000. Local stroke survivor Amy Jennings was 32 when she had a stroke in 2013 as a result of a haemorrhage due to an arterio venous malformation (AVM). The stroke left Amy with no speech and no movement on her right side. Her rehabilitation to learn to speak and walk again was a long journey. Today she is independent, drives a modified car and dedicates her life to stroke and aphasia support, awareness and research. “I set up the local stroke group in Port Macquarie where stroke survivors and their carers meet each month,” said Amy. “I am the Stroke Safe Speaker for the Mid North Coast area for the National Stroke Foundation.”

Sporting clubs encouraged to apply for local grants By Sis HIGGINS SPORTING clubs and community organisations across the Port Macquarie electorate are being encouraged to apply for funding through the NSW Government's 2026/27 Local Sport Grant Program, with up to $50,000 available locally to help strengthen grassroots sport. Grants ranging from $2,000 to $20,000 are available to support projects that increase participation, improve facilities, purchase equipment and deliver programs that make sport more accessible and inclusive. Member for Port Macquarie Robert Dwyer said the funding program provided an important boost for local sporting organisations working hard to keep communities active and connected. "Local sporting clubs are at the heart of our communities, providing opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to stay active, build friendships and enjoy the many benefits of sport," Mr Dwyer said. "The Local Sport Grant Program helps clubs purchase essential equipment, deliver new programs and improve facilities so they can continue the fantastic work they do across our region. "I encourage every eligible sporting organisation to jump online, submit an

application and make the most of this opportunity to strengthen community sport across the Port Macquarie electorate." The program supports projects that increase participation and improve player retention, create inclusive opportunities for under-represented groups and strengthen the longterm sustainability and capability of community sporting organisations. Funding can be used to purchase new equipment, deliver participation initiatives or undertake facility upgrades that benefit local clubs and participants. Mr Dwyer highlighted the success of last year's funding round, which supported several organisations across the electorate, including Football Mid North Coast, Laurieton Tennis Club, Port Macquarie Rowing Club and Hastings Valley Motor Cycle Club. Statewide, the NSW Government invested $4.49 million through the Local Sport Grant Program last year, supporting 586 community sport projects. Applications for the 2026/27 program close at 1:00pm on Monday, 17 August 2026. Eligible sporting organisations are encouraged to submit their applications before the closing date to be considered for this year's funding opportunities.

OPINION & LETTERS Hypothetical, Legal Eye

On the Couch

Dorin's Drawings By Paul DORIN

By Manny WOOD

By JASMINDA

The Art of Deception CARMEN was barely five feet tall, broad in the shoulders and gloriously stubborn. She believed olive oil cured most ailments, garlic improved every meal and, if an expert disagreed with her, the expert probably needed a second opinion. She trusted her judgment. That included art. While others bought paintings to match the furniture, Carmen bought them because they deserved to be noticed. If the painting came home, the furniture could adjust. The family just assumed she had unusual taste. Years later, they discovered she had exceptional judgment. Following her husband's illness, Carmen sold their modest home to fund his residential aged care. After his death, she moved into a rented cottage, insisting she no longer needed a house, only enough space for her paintings. She adored her daughter, Lucille, who shared her appreciation for art. Carmen rarely left a gallery empty-handed and Lucille often joked the only spare wall was the front door. For 15 years, Carmen had no relationship with her eldest daughter, Gabriela. As Carmen's health declined, she transferred her art collection to Lucille, explaining she wanted it to remain with someone who appreciated it. When Carmen died at 87, she appointed Lucille executor and sole beneficiary in her Will. On paper, there seemed little point in disputing the estate. It was worth about $280,000. However, Gabriela commenced family provision proceedings, arguing the transferred art collection should be treated as "notional estate" and "clawedback". During the proceedings, a professional valuation revealed the collection was worth $320,000, with several paintings having been purchased from artists before they became well-established names in Australian art. The Court designated part of the collection as notional estate and awarded Gabriela modest provision from its value. In determining appropriate provision, the Court considered Gabriela's circumstances, Lucille's years of caring for Carmen, and Carmen's reasons for transferring the collection during her lifetime.

DEAR Jasminda, I have recently joined a pilates group for relaxation. There is one particular attendee who makes a lot of loud noises during the class, which is ruining my ability to relax. Can I say something? Belinda N. DEAR Belinda,

Verse of the week By Lynne MILES Jeremiah 17: 7 "Blessed is the man (woman) whose HOPE is in the Lord."

Domestic violence and coercive control are real DEAR News Of The Area, A NEW website has been created by the NSW Domestic Violence Death Review Team (DVDRT), an independent statutory body convened by the State Coroner. Over the past 26 years there have been close to 300 women killed by their current or former intimate partners following a history of domestic violence. Seventy-five men have been killed by an intimate partner, and in three-quarters of those cases men were also the abusers in the relationship. Since 2000, 134 children and young people and 208 other individuals have been killed in domestic-violence related deaths. There were 36 domesticviolence homicides in 2024/2025. This year, 37 women have

been killed and 17 children. Coercive Control I was recently in a mobile phone repair shop and the woman in front of me was receiving her repaired mobile phone and two children's laptops that had had the tracking devices removed. I was shocked. Pauline Hanson can say “just walk away” but it is not easy. She has no sympathy for these women in violent relationships; she claims they are using the system for financial gain. So women - beware of One Nation. I believe they will reverse any domestic violence-related legislation, should they ever be in control of the Government. Regards, Beverley Sharpe, Port Macquarie.

AUKUS questions demand answers DEAR News Of The Area, DONALD Trump’s Israeli-inspired war in the Middle East has given us all just a small insight into how a localised conflict can impact the Global economy and create chaos and hardship in people’s lives all over the world. It has also revealed just how our defence alliances inadvertently drag us into unpalatable military conflicts. In the meantime, while stockmarket players are making millions off the trading floor volatility, taxpaying Aussies are financing the upgrade on our soil for the biggest US base in the Southern Hemisphere in preparation for the unthinkable war with China as the US tries to revive its domination in our part of the Pacific. While our Government claims to champion ‘transparency’, there

14 CAMDEN HAVEN NEWS OF THE AREA

are countless questions regarding AUKUS that are unanswered, none of which have been debated in our Parliament or put to the people. This situation defies the legal foundations of our very democracy. While our mainstream media focus has been on the ‘cost of living crisis’ or whether Pauline has anything to offer in terms of real change, most Aussies are unaware of the current privately sponsored AUKUS Public Inquiry into this shameful state of affairs. With input from some of Australia’s best and brightest when it comes to our place in the Pacific and Strategic Security, you can find it here - https:// aukuspublicinquiry.com/ Regards, Dave Wood.

Having attended Pilates classes, I have some sympathy for the grunter and groaner. Though most of us try to make these sounds internally, Pilates, in its aim to increase flexibility and core strength, can be excruciating for bodies that are used to being hunched over at a desk. The attendee you mention is probably discovering just how inflexible they are. It is not unusual to witness a Pilates follower hopping around the room because of a cramp after trying to execute what feels like 500 leg circles. Alternatively, they may be

exhaling with frustration after losing focus while trying to remember to breathe, simultaneously focusing on the rib to hip connection, drawing in the pelvic floor muscles, and trying not to knock over their water bottle during a flamboyant attempt at the supine spine twist. May I suggest that you observe where the grunter and groaner positions themselves (exercisers commonly have a favourite spot on the floor) and then move as far away as you can so you can enjoy a more relaxed experience. Perhaps, once you are adept at the exercises in your Pilates class, you could wear a discreet pair of earbuds. If it makes you feel any better, the sounds in a Pilates class pale in comparison to those on the gym floor. There you will find a veritable smorgasbord of grunters and moaners and whimperers and howlers. It sometimes sounds like a footy scrum at a funeral. Persist, Belinda. The flexibility you gain in a physical sense may also extend to your mental elasticity. Soon you may find that you are more tolerant to the exercise quirks of the grunter and groaner, who may be doing so as a response to the woman who always scowls at her while she is simply trying to execute the Double Leg Stretch. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Heartfelt thanks to angel on earth DEAR News Of The Area, ALL l know is her name is Sheryl. She's my guardian angel. I was minding a traumatised, timid, rescued, six-month-old kelpie for a friend, for only two nights, and she escaped. I kicked off my slippers and bolted, braless, across the boulevard in hot pursuit. With the early-morning sun in her eyes, Sheryl didn't see Buster, but luckily saw me chasing, then Buster came into her view. Her quick thinking to drive ahead and veer Buster onto the newly built, beautiful ramp, was amazing.

Then, without a second thought, Sheryl drove to the end of the ramp, grabbed her beach towel and blocked Buster in. By this time l was on the ramp and was able to confine him. The perfect timing, the miraculous actions of this wonderful lady on the way to the beach, enabled me to carry my scared, beautiful puppy home. I truly don’t know how to thank my angel. I couldn’t thank her enough on the day. I hope maybe she'll read this. I'll be sure to continue to pass it on. Regards, Di Smith, Dunbogan.

Hands up who’s had a nearmiss with an e-bike? DEAR News Of The Area, LAST week I was driving along Pacific Drive near Shelly Beach at the speed limit of 50kph. Suddenly an e-bike, ridden by a teenager, passed me on the inside at a speed I estimate of at least 60kph and shot off up the hill south. I emailed Rob Dwyer about this and asked what will be done. I’ve had no reply so far except the automatic one. Coincidentally I just received Rob’s August email, which mentions several other local stories but nothing re e-bikes. This is an issue needing urgent

attention. Surely the e-bikes need to be treated as motor bikes, cars, trucks etc in that they should be registered (displaying a number), have insurance to cover pedestrians and other vehicles/ passengers, (i.e. face the same liabilities I would as a car driver), and riders should also be licensed. I am sure other readers have had similar encounters, so let’s hope something gets to the NSW Minns Labor Government and action is taken. Regards, Bruce Heath, Port Macquarie.

Issues with Special Disability Trusts DEAR News Of The Area, FOR many years, I have provided professional advice and assistance to families raising children with disabilities. As parents age, one of their greatest concerns is who will care for their son or daughter when they are no longer able to do so. My wife and I are now facing this reality ourselves. Our son is 35 years old, and we are both in our mid-sixties. Meeting his ongoing needs, including dietary management, physiotherapy, medication, accommodation, and coordination with NDIS providers, requires significant planning and daily commitment. As disabilities become more severe, the complexity of care increases, and there inevitably comes a time when parents can no longer meet those demands. I believe there is a significant flaw in the way housing is provided through a Special Disability Trust (SDT). Many parents wish to transfer the family home into an SDT to secure their adult child's long-term accommodation. While this attracts valuable tax

OPINION & LETTERS

and Centrelink concessions, the approved SDT structure permits only one primary beneficiary to occupy the home. As a result, parents cannot continue living there to provide the care and support their child still requires. My wife and I are considering converting our home into a Supported Independent Living (SIL) residence, providing accommodation for our son and another person with a disability. If this arrangement were permitted within an SDT, it could increase much-needed disability housing options. Unfortunately, the single-beneficiary rule prevents this outcome. For many years, parents and professionals have advocated for a review of this restriction. One alternative is for parents to purchase a separate property and gift it to the SDT, but this is beyond the financial reach of most families. I will continue advocating for reform of the SDT rules to better meet the long-term housing and care needs of Australians living with disability. Regards, Rodney Fox.

Looking for a Party that will put people first DEAR News of the Area, IN my last letter I warned of unfounded, flawed claims being used by those opposed to One Nation to try to stop their surging popularity in Australia. Bill Robinson's letter (‘Compassion and vision are essential’, NOTA, 31/7/26) is a prime example. It is an irrefutable fact that the recent OECD Employment Outlook Report found that persistent high inflation and trailing wage growth resulted in a 5.1 per cent decline in Australian's real wages since March 2021. In stark contrast, workers across the average OECD member country experienced an approximate 5 per cent increase in living standards over the same timeframe. This has nothing to do with our global ranking. The resulting struggle for all, except the wealthy, to pay their weekly bills is a major reason (but not the only reason) why One Nation is now leading many polls despite a widespread media/ political campaign against them. It was then incorrectly claimed that Pauline has been 'unable to articulate any Labor government

waste and useless spending'. The reality is that One Nation has a comprehensive plan to save around $90Billion by dismantling multiple departments, overhauling major public programs, and exiting international bodies, while redirecting funds toward debt reduction, taxpayer relief, and infrastructure. Abolishing the Department of Climate Change and its related agencies, green subsidies, and net-zero programs is projected by the Party to save approximately $30Billion every year while also reducing the upward pressure on our electricity bills, which are up 22 per cent in the last year, according to the latest ABS inflation data. Finally, it is indeed true that you 'can't fool all of the people all of the time'. That is exactly why more and more Australians are abandoning the political Parties that have implemented policies which have made life so much harder for so many, and are now looking to a Party run by people who will put them and their interests first and not last. Regards, Peter Williams.

Climate change defeats Europe's nuclear plants DEAR News Of The Area, NUCLEAR power plants consume millions of litres of water per day to cool their extremely hot reactor cores. This year summer heatwaves and falling rainfall have defeated several of Europe's nuclear plants, forcing them to reduce power or shut down completely, and leading to an energy crisis. One vital water source is the Danube River, which flows through 10 countries and is used for cooling reactors in Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria. Water levels in the Danube have fallen to historically low

levels, restricting the amount of river water available. In Hungary, the Paks nuclear power plant was forced to shut down due to extreme heat and river levels so low that the cooling intake nozzles cannot reach the water. Hungary lost about 50 per cent of its power generation, leading to power cuts and government calls for citizens and industry to curb electricity consumption. Low Danube river levels also forced the shut down of Unit 1 reactor at Romania's Cernavodă nuclear plant, triggering a state emergency. Romania will now have to import power to stabilise

energy supply. In Bulgaria, authorities warned that they may have to shut down or curtail power generation at the Kozloduy nuclear plant, due to low water levels in the Danube. In June, France's EDF also had to reduce power output at nuclear plants on the Seine and Rhone rivers. As climate change and severe heatwaves increase, it will become more and more difficult to cool nuclear reactors - making them less safe and more unreliable as an energy source. Regards, Kenneth Higgs.

Dementia - see the person, not the diagnosis There are some events you walk away from knowing they'll stay with you for a long time - maybe even forever. For NOTA’s Chan Ansell, this dementia seminar was one such occasion. DEMENTIA is something that's very close to my heart. I lost my Dad to this horrible disease on 10 May 2023 after watching him live with dementia for just over 10 years. During that time, I learnt so much. Not just about dementia itself, but about how important patience, understanding and kindness really are. I learnt that sometimes it's the smallest things - how you speak to someone, how you listen, or simply giving them a little extra time - that can make the biggest difference. So, when Lyn Murphy invited me along to this seminar at Laurieton United Services Club, there was no way I was going to say no. Lyn shared her own story of living with Alzheimer's disease. What an incredible woman she is. One minute there were tears, the next the whole room was laughing. She has such an amazing way of telling her story with honesty, humour and courage. One thing she made very clear is that dementia changes many things, but it doesn't change who you are as a person. One story that has really stayed

with me was Lyn talking about the day she realised it was time to step away from work. Lyn had continued working until she was 72 and was determined not to let Alzheimer's define her. She was getting ready to meet a family for a funeral when she looked in the mirror and realised she had put her nightie on over the top of her clothes. It was one of those heartbreaking moments that made her realise things had changed. But in true Lyn style, she found the humour in it, sharing how her sister-in-law Gael told her she might need a different nightie for every day of the week. Everyone laughed, including Lyn, but behind the laughter was a reminder of just how challenging everyday life can become for someone living with dementia. One of the biggest things I took away from the day was that dementia is so much more than forgetting things. It affects thinking, planning, communication and so many everyday tasks. But it doesn't take away a person's life story, their personality, their values or the love they have for those around them. They are still the same person and they deserve to be treated that way. Graeme Atkins and his partner and full-time carer, Susan Murphy, shared what they call their

The incredible volunteers at the event, who are all part of the Dementia Friendly Community Alliance Port Macquarie.

"rollercoaster ride" with dementia. Their story highlighted just how difficult it can be to receive a diagnosis, especially at a younger age, and how much life changes afterwards. One thing Graeme said really hit home: "You cannot catch dementia from me." Such a simple sentence, but one that reminds us there is still far too much misunderstanding surrounding dementia. Karen Dubois shared her experience caring for her mum, Bess, for six and a half years. Her story wasn't just about dementia; it was about love, sacrifice and what it really means to be a carer. It reminded everyone in the room that dementia doesn't only affect the person living with it. It affects partners, children, grandchildren, family and friends. Carers carry so much, and they deserve just as much support and understanding. Lyn left those gathered with one message that I don't think anyone in that room will ever forget: "See the person first, not the diagnosis." Those words couldn't be more true. A huge thank you to Lyn Murphy for having the courage to share such a personal story, to Graeme and Susan Atkins, Karen Dubois, and to the amazing volunteers from the Dementia Friendly Community Alliance Port Macquarie for everything they continue to do for our community.

The Traitors Australia host Gretel Killeen (pictured) is no stranger to putting in the hard yards in the name of charity, having served as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador for seven years, directed a doco about AIDS orphans and entertained Aussie troops in war zones around the world. So hanging with Grant Denyer and opening some briefcases to win up to $200,000 for family violence support organisation RizeUp should be a walk in the park.

Former MasterChef judge Matt Preston (pictured) knows that the key to great food and wine is great ingredients. They’re also essential to this new series, which sees the food critic travel across Australia and New Zealand in search of the best local produce and meet the passionate growers and foragers dedicated to feeding us the best of the best. Preston begins his journey in WA’s Margaret River, where he heads out to sea with an abalone farmer to get some green-lip abalone. Then it’s off to Cape Mentelle to explore one of the region’s original wineries. Finally, a sunset seaside meal of marron and coastal herb salad cooked by a local legend known as Yoda.

Lisa Millar takes a break this week as guest presenter Paul West (pictured) heads to Barcaldine in the heart of outback Queensland. He’s in deep from the get-go when he learns the old pub he’s staying at may just be haunted. Arriving in town by train, West checks out the Tree of Knowledge memorial – an ancient ghost gum that played a key role in Australia’s political history – before visiting a pub being revived by a local farming family connected to a famous shearers’ revolution. After hunting for artwork on an impressive 200km sculpture trail, he meets a group of men cashing in on cans to support the town’s older residents, takes in some local footy and struts his stuff on the catwalk in an Indigenous fashion show. 0708

United in grief Friday, 7 August 2026

By Eve NESMITH

WHEN social media first ignited in response to the sudden loss of Southlakes Rooster player Alisha Rush, the rugby league community at large responded with an outpouring of support for her grieving family, friends, teammates and club. The #doitforali movement was born, with Newcastle and Hunter Rugby League mobilising the code’s community to honour the 12-year-old centre, dubbed a ‘tackling machine’ by her Dora Creek teammates. Members of the Camden Haven Eagles’ under-14 girls League Tag team were across the campaign and quick to respond to the call. They chose to retire their No. 3 jersey as a tribute to Ali and a show of support for her friends, teammates and family.

number 3 jersey in their sheds and put a candle underneath it,” Peter said. “On game day, they carried the jersey onto the field and displayed it on the scoring table so it was present throughout the match.” Peter said the movement gave him the opportunity to speak with the team members about grief and “not feeling good” in general. “If you’re not feeling good - speak,” Peter said. “Talk to people. Talk to your parents. Talk to me. Talk to friends. Just get it out there. Let people know.” The Newcastle Knights and Parramatta Eels NRLW teams also retired their No. 3 jerseys last weekend to show their support, and clubs throughout the Hunter, the State and even further afield paused for moments of silence and adorned themselves with pink ribbons in Ali’s memory.
