Fancy photography? First get your eye in By Rachael THORPE FOR 20 years, Hastings Photography Group has been combining socialising with encouraging its members to foster a passion for capturing images. Long-time member John Upton enjoys photographing still-life and landscapes. For newbies, he recommends forgetting about the technical aspects. Instead ‘get your eye in’ first, he says. The group’s 50-plus members meet on each Wednesday at Roto House, followed by a Friday meeting at Bonny Hills Nursery Café. “We call our meet-ups Lens and Laughter,” Mr Upton said.

Heart of the Haven - Joan Barr By Chantelle ANSELL

TURNING 100 is a pretty special achievement, and for one local woman, Joan Barr, her milestone birthday was a chance to celebrate a lifetime of family, farming, community and memories. Born at her parent's home at Upper Lansdowne on August 29, 1926, she was the seventh of 14 children. Today, just three siblings remain. Growing up in the country, she remembers a busy childhood helping her mum look after her younger brothers and sisters. Her father farmed potatoes at Comboyne, and from a young age she was never afraid to get stuck into farm life. By the age of 14, she was riding a horse down the mountain to the dance at Upper Lansdowne. She also remembers taking two draught horses down the cutting on horseback, proudly recalling

that she was the only girl who could ride them. When the war came and her brothers left to serve, the girls in the family stepped up and took on many of the jobs normally done by the boys, helping keep the farm going. She married Archie in September 1944, and together they raised five children. Their family has continued to grow, now including 19 grandchildren, 39 great grandchildren and six great great grandchildren. So, what is the secret to reaching 100? According to her, the secret isn't complicated: growing up in the country and enjoying plenty of good, homecooked meals. “Being brought up in the country and eating good home cooked meals has probably helped,” she said. Family has always been at the centre

of her life, and Joan is incredibly grateful to her family for helping care for her and allowing her to remain in her own home over the years. Joan has also given plenty back to her local community. She was involved with the Kendall Op Shop from its early days and remained a member until around four years ago Joan and Archie were also both active members of the Laurieton Rotary Club, where they made plenty of memories, including working in the famous Rotary doughnut van and taking part in

local events and gatherings. “I’ve always enjoyed being involved with the community, and Rotary gave Archie and I so many wonderful memories,” Joan said. Over the years, she has enjoyed travelling, cooking, fishing, playing cards and camping by the river on the family farm. Her 100th birthday was celebrated surrounded by around 90 family members and friends at her Kew property, with loved ones travelling from the Sunshine Coast, Sydney, Western Sydney and Sandy Hollow to be there for the special occasion. A century of life has brought plenty of changes, but one thing has remained constant, family, community and a lifetime of wonderful memories.

MORE than 450 guests watched 13 locals swap their day jobs for the dance floor at Stars of Hastings Dance for Cancer, raising more than $285,000 for Cancer Council NSW. Held at Panthers Port Macquarie on Friday, 11 September, the event was the culmination of months of rehearsals, fundraising and stepping well outside comfort zones. The stage came alive with theatrical performances, acrobatics, cheer, hip hop, disco, burlesque and pole, creating a night filled with glamour, laughter and powerful reminders of why the community had come together. The atmosphere was ‘unforgettable’ and the room ‘electric’, according to Cancer Council NSW spokesperson Lauren Fraser. Abby Koch transformed into Dolly Parton for a fabulous theatrical tribute alongside Miranda Webster, earning the pair the Judges’ Choice Award. Jacob Fardy and Jorjia-Rose Styles had the crowd on their feet with their high-energy acrobatic routine, taking home the People’s Choice Award. “Our Stars were brave, entertaining and completely committed, and the audience was

behind them from the moment they stepped onto the stage,” Ms Fraser said. “The trophies were well deserved, but the real win is what this result will mean for people and families affected by cancer.” Funds raised provide practical and emotional support for people facing cancer today, while also funding research, prevention, early detection and advocacy to improve future outcomes. Across the Mid North Coast, people affected by cancer can access services including Transport to Treatment, counselling and peer support, help with financial hardship, and referrals for legal, financial and workplace advice. Assistance may also be available with household bills, food, petrol, home help and accommodation when people need to travel for care. More than 2300 people are expected to be diagnosed with cancer each year on the Mid North Coast. Cancer Council NSW is 94 per cent community funded, and the 2026 participants continue a legacy that’s raised well over $1.5 million.

Local MP joins call for harsher consequences for young offenders PORT Macquarie MP Robert Dwyer has thrown his voice behind the push to introduce tougher penalties for serious offences committed by youth. Mr Dwyer, a member of the Liberal Party, is calling for reforms that would see sentences that “reflect community expectations” in line with the catchcry: “Adult Crime, Adult Time laws”. “The face of crime

has changed and serious youth criminals should face consequences that reflect community expectations,” Mr Dwyer said. Should it be elected in 2027, a Liberal and Nationals Government is vowing to enact laws to this effect within the first 100 days of its government. In a media release, Mr Dwyer said that the Liberals

and Nationals would tackle crime from all sides, intervene early, deter offending, and throw the weight of the law at those who committed crimes. “We will also double funding for the Community Safety Investment Fund to $10 million and fund expanded diversion, school suspension and postdetention rehabilitation programs to put young people

Hastings Education Fund helps local students achieve By Pauline CAIN HASTINGS Education Fund (HEF) has been supporting local students since 2011, providing financial assistance to help them achieve their post-high school education, training and vocational aspirations. Johnathon Cains is among those benefiting from the local organisation, and he encourages local students to apply for a grant. Mr Cains attended MacKillop College from 2018 to 2023 and began studying a Bachelor of Nursing in 2024 at Monash University’s Clayton Campus in Melbourne. He’s due to graduate in December. “HEF has been fundamental in helping me complete my tertiary studies,” he said. “I still remember the first time HEF committee chair, Julie McLeod told me: ‘It’s your turn to fly' at a time when enrolling at my dream university seemed impossible.

q Johnathon Cains is studying nursing at Monash University in Melbourne. Photo: Supplied. “HEF’s support has truly allowed me to put my all into my dream of becoming a nurse.” Coming from a lowincome background and being a young carer, HEF gave him the support that allowed him to focus on study and compulsory clinical placements. “HEF has significantly helped me to achieve my potential by making tertiary education more accessible for me,” he said. “I will forever be grateful for every supporter, especially Monica Atkinson, who generously chose to support me until I graduate.

“I almost didn’t apply for an HEF grant, but if you have a dream, apply. “It doesn’t mean just money: you get supporters in your corner who want you to become your best self.” Since 2011, HEF has backed 353 students, providing $1,077,150 in financial support. To be eligible for a grant, applicants must be aged 16-25, live or attend school in the Hastings area, demonstrate a need, and show commitment to achieving their goals. Applications close on 30 September. cef.org.au

back on the right track,” Mr Dwyer said. Mr Dwyer and his colleagues believe that Labor has lost control of crime across NSW, with young people increasingly at the centre and being recruited to carry out gangland hits, commit violent crimes and break into people’s homes. “The NSW Liberals and Nationals have repeatedly put forward stronger laws, which include Anytime, Anywhere Knife Wanding laws and tougher penalties for those who recruit children to commit crimes, only to be met by opposition from the Minns Labor Government,” Mr Dwyer’s release said. “[U]nder our plan victims would be put first and serious youth offenders will face real consequences for their crimes,” he said. “Young people who commit serious crimes should face serious consequences, but we also want to be doing all we can to ensure young people don’t commit those crimes to begin with.” Leader of the Opposition

Member for Port Stephens, Robert Dwyer.

Kellie Sloane said she believed in tough love, which meant doing everything possible to support young people and put them on the right track, but if they committed a serious adult crime, there would be serious adult consequences. “For too long youth offenders who have committed serious crimes in our state have faced consequences that don’t match community expectations,” Ms Sloane said. “That will end under the NSW Liberals and Nationals

Adult Crime, Adult Time laws.” Shadow Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism Anthony Roberts said police officers were sick of arresting the same serious youth criminals just to see them back on the streets. “Our police do a great job keeping our communities safe, we need to back them with laws to ensure that serious youth offenders face proper consequences for violent crimes,” Mr Roberts said.

photography. He sees it as a blend of science and art. After retiring from a career that spanned photojournalism and scientific medical photography, he retired to Port Macquarie and looked for things to keep him busy. “I joined the club and came up with an idea of establishing a regular digital magazine, EYESO100, for the group, which has been very popular,” Mr Galea said. “The club has helped me to take my photography to a different level.”

Great result in NSW Junior RoboCup 2026 CAMDEN Haven High School’s Team Tazor recently finished runners-up in the 2026 RoboCup Junior NSW State Competition, which was held at the Whitlam Leisure Centre in Liverpool. The team defeated every side during the preliminary rounds, only to falter in the grand final when a wiring fault ruled them out of contention. The Year 11 team of Jazz Jones, Eleanore Olsen and Tiata Corowa faced off against a team from selective school Sydney Boys High in the Open Soccer division, leading 2-0

at half-time before going down 4-3. Second place earned the Camden Haven team entry in the Australian Open National Championships, which will be held in Canberra from October 2. A place at the 2027 World Championships in Nuremberg is on the line, pending their performance in Canberra. Port Macquarie MP Robert Dwyer recently visited Camden Haven High School to meet with the RoboCup competitors and congratulate them on their achievements.

Port teen gets inside view of democracy PORT Macquarie teenager Hunter Davis was among 150 students from across Australia chosen for this year’s National Youth Parliament. He was selected from nearly 3000 applicants, representing the federal electorate of Cowper in an immersive five-day program that included simulated parliamentary debates, hands-on learning experiences, and workshops with parliamentary leaders. A MacKillop College student, Davis was also a 2026 ABC Heywire winner. He applied to join National Youth Parliament to become a strong voice

for children and young people, particularly those from single-parent families, regional, rural and remote communities, and with lived experience of financial hardship and housing insecurity. "National Youth Parliament provided me the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Australia's democracy and the parliamentary system,” he said. “I had the opportunity to contribute to important discussions and understand the role of MPs with responsibility over a portfolio." He believes parliament

can achieve meaningful change. "Parliament has the power to create change, not only in Australia but around the world,” he said. “It gives people the opportunity to have their voices heard, challenge the status quo and be part of positive change. “I've always believed that if you don't disrupt yourself, someone else will, and I see parliament as a place for change, adaptation and disruption." Through the National Youth Parliament, the Port Macquarie teen hoped to deepen his understanding of Australia's democracy while

building skills he could bring back to his community. Closer to home, he believes regional inequality is the defining issue in his electorate. "One of the biggest issues facing Cowper is ensuring funding is allocated fairly,” Davis said. “Cowper is one of Australia's fastestgrowing regions, and our infrastructure needs to keep pace with this growth. “We need greater investment in roads, health, education and essential services to ensure our regional communities aren't left behind." For any young person

who feels politics doesn't affect them, his message is

Learn-to-play golf clinics are held throughout the year for beginners, with the next one on 4 October. Cementing their role as a community hub, KCC has lodged plans to become a designated evacuation centre. The goal is to have a generator to provide food and accommodation for those who’ve had to flee their homes in emergencies.

Calling all students surveying their future A SURVEYING careers event will be held for regional schools at Port Macquarie Observatory this Monday from 9.30am to 2pm. Port Macquarie Observatory will run an astronomy session for the school students, together with a number of outdoor surveying activities. Weather permitting, school students will get to see Venus, Jupiter and other bright stars, which can all be seen during daylight hours with the aid of a small amount of magnification. The event is being held in response to the Australian Government’s Occupations Shortage list, which Surveying Australia says demonstrates a shortage of 2000 surveyors nationwide. This shortage has spanned about 25 years and the skills gap is expected to worsen. Several efforts have been made to combat this shortfall, one of which is Surveying Unleashed, which is now run in Sydney and in six NSW Regional areas. On Monday 21 September, Maths in Surveying will come to Port Macquarie. From 9.30am to 2pm, 80 Year 10 and 11 students from Taree, Port Macquarie, Wauchope, Kempsey and Macksville will converge on Port Macquarie Observatory at Rotary Park, Port Macquarie. Interested students will be encouraged to obtain work experience with a local surveyor and hopefully be inspired to continue on to a university or TAFE course in Surveying. Surveying covers a wide range of opportunities, such as cadastral (boundary) surveying, which requires Government registration; engineering surveying (road, sewer, drainage design); deformation surveys, to check that dams, bridges and buildings remain stable; aerial surveying, today mainly using drones; hydrographic

surveying, to map underwater features; mine surveying; photogrammetry (taking measurements from images); and geodesy. to determine the shape of the earth and our continental movement. If you would like more information about this Maths

Screen-time restrictions set in NSW public schools

FROM Page 1

up to a maximum of half the time allotted per subject for senior high school students. Schools will also recommend limiting screen time for homework to help reduce overall screen use at home, with the use of digital devices for homework not recommended before Year 5. New guidelines will recommend a minimum of one hour a day of learning using pen and paper, reflecting strong evidence of the learning benefits of writing by hand and reading from paper. It comes as the Government moves to address worrying trends in education, to ensure an entire generation of students learning in an increasingly digital environment don’t miss out on the essential educational foundations of literacy and numeracy. “An entire generation of students are increasingly living in an online world,” said Minister for Education and Early Learning Prue Car. “We have a responsibility to ensure their health and education isn’t adversely affected by excessive screen use.” According to the OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment, Australian students are nearly twice as likely to spend more than two hours per day using digital devices for learning as the OECD average, while academic results are falling – particularly among 12- to 15-year-olds in reading and writing. A healthy day for children and young people includes a mix of being active, getting enough sleep, and building active social connections with their peers and family, according to Chief Paediatrician at NSW Health, Dr Helen Goodwin. “We know that too much time spent on screens impacts these important daily activities that support healthy growth and development,” Dr Goodwin said

The government’s own $2.5 million research fund assessing the impact of screen use on learning found that although teachers are largely using technology in a purposeful way, only 45 per cent of secondary parents and 32 per cent of primary parents indicated that the benefits of using technologies outweigh the disadvantages. The same research found that half of students surveyed reported being distracted by screens in class. “When the research is telling us teenagers are spending as much as seven hours a day on screens, and we are seeing reading and writing skills going backwards for a whole generation of children, we have to act,” Ms Car said. The Government’s daily screen-use recommendations will be introduced from Day 1, Term 1, 2027 and become mandatory from 2028, giving schools and teachers time to adjust resources and practices. The policy builds on and complements action already taken to reduce reliance on technology and its distractions – beginning with the ban on mobile phones in 2023 and most recently with restrictions on take-home assessments for HSC students to combat the use of AI. Schools that have already adopted a digitalfree approach to learning are seeing the benefits flow through to better educational outcomes. Digital literacy will remain a core part of the curriculum with opportunities to use online tools in a variety of educationally beneficial ways. The policy aims to significantly reduce the cumulative impact of screen time on NSW children and its impact on learning and development. The policy includes clear exemptions and adjustments for students with disability, those with additional needs, or students for whom English is not their first language, or where

digital support is part of a personalised learning plan. The Department of Education will support teachers to make the transition with professional learning, resources and comprehensive guidance to ensure that screens are no longer the default for learning in NSW public schools. New daily screen-use limits in public schools include: No individual student device use in public preschools Up to 15 minutes a day for Kindergarten to Year 2 Up to 30 minutes a day for Years 3 and 4 Up to 45 minutes a day for Years 5 and 6 Up to one-quarter of the time per subject for Years 7 to 10 Up to half the time per subject for Years 11 and 12 These times would operate across a week of lessons. q

Tip for op shop runs MEMBER for Port Macquarie Rob Dwyer unearthed a gem of an idea in his recent e-newsletter. “Most of us have a bag or two sitting in the boot, waiting for a run to the op shop,” he wrote. “What we don't always

know is whether the shop can take them when we get there. “Donation points fill up, some stores can't take furniture or electricals, and too often good items end up in landfill instead of helping someone locally.”

From tyres and mechanical servicing to batteries, auto parts and accessories they’ve got your vehicle covered.

Mr Dwyer recently met with Scott Horner, a Port Macquarie local, who has built something to fix that. Where To Donate is a free community platform that shows which op shops and donation points near you are accepting donations right now, and what they'll take. It covers charity stores across Australia, and the information stays current because the community keeps it that way. After you drop something off, you spend 10 seconds reporting how it went, and the next person benefits. “It was great to call into Vinnies Port Macquarie to see how it works in practice,” Mr Dwyer said. “Our op shops do extraordinary work, funding services that support people in our own community, and anything that helps them receive donations they can actually use is worth sharing.” You can find the app at wheretodonate.com.au q

Don’t wait for disaster to register with Rural Aid

WITH summer approaching and the risk of bushfires and other severe weather increasing across parts of Australia, Rural Aid is encouraging farmers to register now. The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting warmer and drier conditions across parts of the country this Spring, with increased bushfire risk in several areas. The months ahead also bring the start of the tropical cyclone

season, along with the potential for severe storms and flooding. For farmers already dealing with dry conditions, the prospect of fire and other severe weather adds another layer of uncertainty. Rural Aid CEO John Warlters said taking a simple step now could make it easier to access support if disaster strikes. “Disasters don’t wait, and neither should farmers,” he said. “We want farmers to take that step now, to be prepared.

“Getting registered with Rural Aid means we know who you are and where you are. And if you need support, we can talk through what help may be available.” Rural Aid provides a range of practical and wellbeing support services for farmers at no cost, including: Financial assistance to help cover urgent or unexpected costs. Counselling and mental health support for farmers and their families.

You just apply over the phone and they’ll be back in touch. “It’s a big help. It’s an easy organisation, great people doing a great job.” Mr Warlters said farmers did not need to be facing a disaster today to take the first step. “We know farmers have a lot on their plate, but getting registered now is one less thing to think about if a fire or other disaster comes your way,” he added. “Whether it’s a bushfire, flood, storm or drought, Rural Aid is here to help farmers and their families through the challenges that life on the land brings. “So don’t wait, get registered with Rural Aid now and if you need a hand, we’ll be here.” Register by calling 1300 327 624 or visit www.ruralaid.org.au.

New data shows more DV offenders before the courts NEW data shows thousands more alleged offenders, including domestic violence perpetrators, are coming before the courts. The latest Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) shows legal action for domestic violence offences rose by more than 14 per cent in the two years to June. This equates to an additional 6,128 defendants appearing before a magistrate. “These figures tell a clear story: NSW is a safer state today

because of the work of our cops,” Minister for Police and Counterterrorism Yasmin Catley said. “We have always known that NSW Police do extraordinary work, but these statistics highlight the scale. “They are finding offenders, charging offenders and putting them before the courts.” Domestic and family violence rates are on the rise across NSW. “The government is determined to ensure perpetrators are held accountable,” Ms Catley said.

It has introduced a series of reforms to better protect victim-survivors and prosecute perpetrators. Measures include tougher stalking and bail laws, and electronic monitoring for those who get bail. The government has also introduced Serious Domestic Abuse Prevention Orders for high-risk offenders, and stronger penalties for serious and repeat Apprehended Domestic Violence Order breaches. The 2025-26 NSW Budget

invested an additional $184.1 million to deliver a 50 per cent funding increase for six frontline specialist domestic and family violence programs to help keep more women and children safe. “This is the largest across-theboard increase in core funding for specialist domestic and family violence programs in decades,” Ms Catley said. “It represents a landmark investment in the services women and children rely on when escaping violence.”

Spring Clean Your Finances For many of us, spring cleaning means opening the windows, clearing out cupboards and finally tackling the jobs we’ve ignored through the year. While a tidy home can lift your mood, the changing season also offers something more valuable: a chance to take stock of your finances. Just as clutter builds up at home, it also builds quietly elsewhere — bank accounts collect forgotten subscriptions, unused memberships and unnecessary expenses we no longer notice. Spring is a timely reminder to pause and ask: is my money being spent on the life I actually want to build? One of the best places to start is with awareness, because knowing where your money goes is the foundation of every good financial decision. You don’t need a complete overhaul, just an honest review. Take a look back over the past three months of bank statements — most people are surprised by what they find. Small, recurring expenses can quietly erode savings, while impulse purchases often have a bigger impact than expected. Rather than focusing solely on cutting costs, think about redirecting your funds. Money saved from cancelling unused subscriptions, reviewing insurance, or switching to a more competitive electricity or internet plan could go straight into an emergency fund or towards paying down high-interest debt.

State’s first police crackdown on illegal e-bikes q

The first operation targeting illegal e-bikes, in Sydney’s Northern Beaches area, saw 36 e-bikes seized. Photos: NSW Police Force.

THERE has been a steady rumble from the streets and suburbs from pedestrians who have been bumped, buzzed, beeped at or berated by e-bike riders travelling at what seem to be excessive speeds. News Of The Area has written stories, fielded phone calls and published Letters to

the Editor to shine a light on the issue, as did media representatives from across the state. On 21 August 2026, amendments to the Road Transport Act 2013 became enforceable, allowing illegal, modified or high-powered e-bikes, other non-registerable motor vehicles, and unregistered registerable vehicles, used

in public places to be seized and destroyed. It seems, at last, that this new legislation has taken effect, and we may expect, at some point, enforceable actions to take place to improve pedestrian safety on our streets and sidewalks. Last weekend, 36 illegal e-bikes were seized in Sydney. In a joint operation between Transport for NSW and Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, officers targeted illegal, modified and high-powered e-bike use in Sydney’s Northern Beaches. A speed-testing dynamometer was also used to test suspect e-bikes. Northern Beaches locations were identified following recent incidents of illegal, dangerous and reckless e-bike use. Police seized 36 e-bikes, including three e-bikes that were identified as non-compliant on the dynamometer. They also issued 16 penalty notices and 46 cautions for various offences, including helmet and mobile phone offences. In addition, police officers and Transport for NSW officers conducted education and community engagement.

Of note, an e-bike capable of allegedly reaching speeds of more than 90 km/h was seized from a 14-year-old boy at Warriewood. “Riders need to ensure their e-bike complies with legislation and that when they ride they comply with the rules about where they can and cannot ride e-bikes,” Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner David Driver said. “Most e-bike riders do the right thing and comply with the rules; however, police will enforce new legislation if people ride noncompliant vehicles.” E-bikes must behave like bicycles, not motorcycles. “If your bike can operate like a motorcycle under throttle or go more than 25 kilometres an hour while being powered, it is not legal to ride in public,” NSW Transport Secretary Josh Murray said. “Before you or your child jumps on an e-bike, please make sure it’s road-legal. Otherwise you risk losing it.” For more information on e-bike rules and requirements, visit https://www.transport. nsw.gov.au/roadsafety/bicycle-riders/ebikes

Smile! Entries open for Humans of Aged Care photo contest

IT’S time for aged care workers around the country to strike a pose, because Ageing Australia is looking to showcase photographs of the best in the sector. So many people contribute in positive and amazing ways to the care of older Australians, and Ageing Australia is holding a Humans of Aged Care photo competition to honour their

contributions. This year's theme, ‘Small moments, Big impact’ celebrates the everyday moments in the aged care sector – and the extraordinary range of people who choose this varied, challenging but rewarding career. “Behind every resident, every home, every community program, there's a person who chose to be there,“

Ageing Australia CEO Tom Symondson said. “A nurse, a personal care worker, a chef, a gardener, a diversional therapist, a volunteer, a physio, a driver, a hairdresser - to name just a few.” “The Humans of Aged Care contest is about putting a face – and a moment – to that career.” Cash prizes will be

awarded to winning organisations to put towards a staff development initiative of their choice. First prize is $2500, second prize $1000 and a people’s choice prize winner will receive $1000. Entries are open now and close on 16 October. The winning photos will be displayed at Ageing Australia’s National Conference in Sydney in November.

Proposed fishing management strategies - some questions

q By Kate SHELTON This is the second in a two-part series devoted to this topic. SOME questions worth asking This is where I think recreational fishers are entitled to ask some genuine questions.

A nice kingfish. Photo: Joe Edlington.

From my own experience fishing on the Mid North Coast, kingfish numbers in recent years appear to be as good as I can remember. That certainly doesn’t prove the broader eastern Australian stock is healthy, and what we see in one region may not reflect what is happening across the entire fishery. But when anglers are

Local derby By Chantelle ANSELL IT was a huge night on Friday for the Camden Haven Redbacks under-15s girls when they took on local rivals Lake Cathie in a grand final showdown at Dixie Park, Port Macquarie. With plenty of family, friends and supporters making the trip to cheer the girls on, the atmosphere was fantastic and a great reflection of the support behind the local juniors. The Redbacks girls came out ready to play, putting in the hard work from the opening whistle and showing plenty of determination, teamwork and confidence. McKenzie scored two goals while Eva and Bethy also got a goal each. Bethy was also named Player of the Match, as voted by the referees, for her outstanding effort

throughout Friday night's game. Both teams gave it everything, making for a fantastic grand final and a great showcase of the talent coming through the local ranks. For the Redbacks girls, the 4-0 win was a well-deserved reward for all the hard work they had put in throughout the season. This season saw Chloe Leek join Simon's team after playing for a number of years with her previous team. “I had played with Matt for a number of years and really loved being part of his team, so I wasn’t quite ready for things to change,” Chloe said. “But joining the new team has been a great experience and I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the girls and learning new things.”

being told that the number of spawning-size female kingfish is estimated to be just 5.5 per cent of the unfished level, while many are seeing good numbers of fish locally, it is reasonable to want to better understand how that figure was reached and what it means for the fishery we see on the water. How accurately can we

estimate the number and size structure of kingfish currently in the broader population? Perhaps more importantly, how do we estimate what that population looked like at an “unfished” level, long before we had the monitoring and data collection systems available today? That doesn’t mean the assessment is wrong. Fisheries scientists use modelling and the best information available to estimate stock levels. But when decisions based on those estimates could result in something as restrictive as one kingfish per boat, anglers deserve to understand the methodology, the uncertainty around the numbers, and how confident we can be in the conclusions. The acknowledged knowledge gaps around kingfish movements and the mixing of fish between different areas make those questions even more important. However, there is another side to this argument and recreational fishers need to acknowledge it. We don’t have perfect information about our own catches either. DPIRD does have information on recreational catches, including data from phone surveys, boat-ramp surveys, charter records and tagging programs. None of these methods gives us a perfect picture on its own, but together they provide valuable information that can be used in stock assessments.

I’m not convinced compulsory recreational catch reporting is the solution. I understand the need for better information on what is being caught, but there is already a level of distrust between many recreational fishers and the department. That raises another question: would compulsory reporting actually produce reliable information? Some anglers may report accurately, while others may forget, underestimate their catch or simply choose not to provide accurate information. For me, the real question is how we can improve the quality of recreational catch information while also building greater trust between fishers and the department. If fisheries management is going to increasingly rely on biomass estimates, tonnage limits and allocations between recreational and commercial sectors, then surely having better information about the actual recreational harvest should be part of that process. Accurate reporting would not solve every problem. It wouldn’t tell us exactly how many fish are swimming in the ocean, and there would still be questions around natural mortality, recruitment, migration and environmental conditions. But better recreational catch information could give DPIRD and recreational fishers a stronger set of numbers to work with. That is one of the bigger issues raised by these proposals. It should not simply become an argument about whether recreational fishers want tighter or looser rules. We should also be asking whether the

www.newsofthearea.com.au

information being used to make those decisions is robust enough and what can be done to improve it.

HAVE your say Harvest strategies are an important tool for managing our fisheries, particularly when there are concerns about declining fish numbers. At the same time, changes to fishing rules can have a very real impact on recreational anglers, charter operators, commercial fishers and the coastal communities that rely on fishing. That is why it is important for anglers to look beyond social media discussions and hearsay and take the time to understand what is actually being proposed. The consultation on both the Snapper and Yellowtail Kingfish Harvest Strategies is open until 18 October 2026. Whether you agree with the proposed changes, have concerns about parts of the plans, question some of the assumptions being used, or simply want more information before making up your mind, this is the opportunity to provide feedback directly to DPIRD online. Our fisheries are a shared resource and good management needs good information as well as input from the people who fish and care about them. If you regularly target snapper or yellowtail kingfish, I encourage you to take the time to read the draft strategies and complete the consultation survey. Whatever your view, having your say is one of the best ways to make sure the recreational fishing community is part of the conversation about the future of these iconic fish.

Raiders at home in The Sandpit for all-important prelim final By Eve NESMITH THE Lake Cathie Raiders will go head-to-head with the Bowraville Tigers in Saturday’s all-important Hastings District Rugby League preliminary final this Saturday, 19 September, on home turf at The Sandpit. One team will advance to the decider, while the other will hang up the boots until 2027. Raiders coach Blake Wells and his team expect the Tigers to come to town ready to play. “We played the Tigers in Round 12 at our home ground, coming away with a 34–24 win,” Wells said. “I was really happy with the way our boys performed and to get the result, but Bowraville were extremely tough and fought right to the end.” Wells acknowledged the strength and workrate of the Tigers’ forward pack. “They’ve got a strong forward pack that works hard around the ruck, and they have some very skilful

and surrounding areas gives the boys a real lift,” Wells said. “We know Bowraville will have plenty of supporters who will travel and they’ll be just as loud, so it should make for a great atmosphere at The Sandpit.” Wells made the point that no team achieved finals-level success without a support network. “I’d like to thank our

committee for making this semi-final at home possible,” Wells said. “Without the hard work of our committee, we wouldn’t be in this position. “I’d also like to thank all of our major and minor sponsors for their continued support and for helping us get to where we are today.” While reflecting on the season to date, Wells saluted

his team’s great resilience, and what a credit that was to each player. “Throughout the year we’ve had our fair share of injuries, but the boys have continued to work hard and we’ve still been able to put together some really good wins,” Wells said. “I’ve been really happy with the team.”

On the Couch

Dorin's Drawings By Paul DORIN

By Manny WOOD

By JASMINDA

Beneficiary of the doubt ARTHUR owned the Seaside Hotel for more than 40 years and remained involved into his nineties. His son, Daniel, had little involvement with the hotel. Later in life, Arthur met Helen. She moved into the apartment above the hotel, helped with the business, and cared for Arthur as his health declined. As Arthur grew older, he made plans for Helen’s future. He renovated the apartment and arranged for Helen to continue living there and running the Seaside after he was gone. Soon after, Arthur updated his Will, leaving the Seaside to Helen and the remainder of his estate to Daniel. Rather than seeing a solicitor, Arthur asked his friend Frank, a retired accountant, to prepare the Will. Frank arrived with the Will ready for signature. Arthur read it and confirmed it reflected his wishes. With Frank acting as one witness, Arthur called Helen over to act as the other, and the three signed. Nobody gave Helen’s involvement another thought. After Arthur died, Helen took the Will to a solicitor to administer his estate. The solicitor noticed Helen had signed as a witness. As a beneficiary, this created a problem. A beneficiary who witnesses a Will risks losing their gift, a safeguard against someone influencing a Will from which they stand to benefit. If Helen’s gift failed, the Seaside would fall into the reside of Arthur’s estate and pass to Daniel. Daniel argued the gift to Helen was void and that he was entitled to the hotel. Helen applied to the Court. Friends and business associates gave evidence that Arthur had expressed his intention for Helen to inherit the Seaside. His renovations and plans for Helen to continue running the hotel supported this. The Court was satisfied that Arthur 'knew and approved' of the gift and had made it freely and voluntarily. Helen’s gift was held not void despite witnessing the Will and the Seaside remained with her. Thank you to Ellysha Laklem for her assistance with this column.

DEAR Jasminda, MY 18-year-old son is moving out of home. Can you give me some ideas for a gift to take to his share accommodation? He's moving in with two mates. Kylie B. DEAR Kylie,

Verse of the week By Lynne MILES Romans 4: 18 "Against all hope, Abraham in HOPE believed God and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be.""

When do we learn? DEAR News Of The Area, WHILE the Western World pauses to remember the shock and horror of 9/11 a quarter of a century ago, and the names of the approximately 3000 people who died on that fateful day are solemnly read out, I wonder if the most important questions are perhaps still not being asked - nor answered. The answer to the question ‘why?’ was always evident. OsamaBin Laden had made it clear years before that al Qaeda would avenge US military and political meddling in the Middle East, including support for an aggressive Israel and the blood of the many tens of thousands of martyrs. Sadly, the US and Allied response was always going to be an over-reaction. It is estimated that over 4 million people have died as a direct and indirect result from the US-led wars which have followed in the Middle East in the 25 years since. The estimated financial cost is somewhere in the trillions. I wonder if Bin Laden and his mob ever reflected on the disaster they had unleashed? One cannot help but draw parallels with the Hamas attack on Israel in October 2023, and Israel’s massively

disproportionate response. The 72,000-plus official Palestinian death toll will pale in significance when every vanished Palestinian is finally accounted for, if ever. When one considers the even more widespread destruction of Gazan infrastructure and the environmental toxicity, there will also be the inevitable widespread suffering and death from related diseases into the decades ahead. It is estimated that over 9000 Americans have died since 9/11 from related respiratory and cancer illnesses due to toxic exposure at the time. Every day we hear our political masters refer to ‘Deterrence theory’ to justify our fear-led warmongering and the subsequent transfer of public billions to our weapons of mass destruction, as if war is something which happens elsewhere in a distant place which we are isolated from. Surely at a time like this, when we are pre-occupied with restricting the mass migration of millions - victims from our war-involved legacy - and we pause ever so briefly to reflect on a shocking history, the biggest question which we need to ask and answer is ‘How can we continue this madness?’ Regards, Dave Wood.

MOVIING into a house with two mates is idyllic at first. Every day feels like a holiday. Hanging out on the lounge watching rugby together. Cooking up big batches of spaghetti bolognese. Drinking game nights that end at 3am without parents complaining. No one to nag about the towels on the bathroom floor or the pile of shoes at the front door. Pure freedom. By about week three, reality kicks in with niggling irritations, like the housemate who puts his clothes in the washing machine, but neglects to hang them out. Tidy James suddenly develops an aversion to unpacking the dishwasher, even though he is the first to wake up, meaning the sink is

always bulging with dirty dishes. Soon, your son will discover what a bathroom looks like after three weeks with no one cleaning the tiles (or the toilet for that matter). Worse, one or more of the housemates will start relationships, so the share home of three becomes more like a share home of five and the fridge that was well stocked consists of a takeaway container of fried rice, three protein drinks, an empty tub of margarine and some sour milk. It is at this stage that your son will realise just how much you did for him and appreciate you, possibly for the first time. It may also be the first time that he looks at the gift you gave him. This is where my suggestion comes in. I think the very best present for a person moving into share accommodation is a 'My Housemates are Feral' survival kit. This should include cleaning basics including bleach, scrubbing brushes, window cleaner, dishwashing tablets and washing powder. If you are feeling generous, I would also add meal vouchers that entitle your son to 10 home-cooked meals that he can collect from his former home. As a finishing touch, include a roster so your son and his mates can divvy up the household chores. This will hopefully make things more streamlined and also negate any chance of your son moving back to his (now spotless) childhood home. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

You might not know this DEAR News Of The Area, I WRITE to share information I have only just learned and I am wondering how many people, like myself, have been unaware of the NSW government’s Urgent Care Service. This is a telephone service for people that need fast treatment for an illness or injury that doesn’t need a visit to an emergency department, or to avoid a long wait in a busy emergency department and if it isn’t possible to make a GP appointment. Examples of conditions that can be dealt with are minor cuts, infections and burns; sprains, sport injuries, urinary tract infections,

Telco network situation Hyundai could corral the market for is absurd Sydney to Melbourne? Perhaps

DEAR News Of The Area,

ANOTHER phone outage causing 000 call problems! We are told that various networks can use each other’s networks when they must, such as in an emergency – but we, the consumers, are paying for massive duplications of networks across Australia as each provider determines where their network will provide coverage. I wonder how our government leaders at both State and Federal level would react if car makers did the same. Imagine if Toyota built a functional, adequate highway from Sydney to Brisbane – but ONLY Toyota drivers could use it? Perhaps

Ford would be nostalgic and build the Sydney to Bathurst highway just to make it difficult for one week each year? Such an absurd situation would barely be talked about before being shut down as utter nonsense. Yet, that is what is happening with Telcos. Each is building their own massive network but ONLY for their own customers. They have already demonstrated clearly that the technology allows sharing. Surely then it’s just bookkeeping for Telcos to bill each other for calls emanating from outside their network. Regards, Leon Walsh.

The Write Direction

By John BLACKBOURN

Reality for Australian real estate values BECAUSE we are living in similar circumstances to the rest of the Western world, what is the reality for real estate values in our country? International news agency Reuters put together a report on real estate markets in Canada and New Zealand, which has become available in Australia this month. It caught my eye because I have just returned from five weeks on both coasts of Canada and I’ve visited NZ twice a year for fishing trips in the last 17 years. The state of their economies and the obvious value of housing, plus the incomes needed to purchase and maintain housing, is of interest to me, as it should be for every Australian - particularly as these countries are the closest ‘like economies’ to us. While Canada is larger and New Zealand is smaller, we all speak English and have similar ethnic forebears. Even our currencies have similar values, so what is happening in both countries must closely resemble outcomes over here. Both Canada and NZ are undergoing reduced values for personal property, and both are seen to be ahead of Australia on where their economies are heading in the present economic cycle. We all remember that Auckland achieved a million-dollar sale price for a suburban home well before Sydney. And because it’s a much smaller country than Australia, its price movements can be seen as more dramatic. Canadian housing prices took an earlier hit to their values during COVID and, like NZ, have seen their prices in decline for the past four years. History of markets calls these economies ones that react faster than in Australia. But fear not, we follow our brother countries with each move. With housing prices on the slide here, it’s a safe bet that we will continue to decline in a similar way to Canada and New Zealand, as our housing supply remains dismal, the cost of building is being dragged higher due to inflation, our governments don’t seem to be able to stem the immigration flow, and interest rates are moving higher as our nation continues to increase its borrowing. We don’t seem to have the political will or motivation to address these issues. And, knowing these things, buyers have decided to fold their arms and wait for price reductions before they purchase.

Stargazing

By Dave RENEKE

Growing food in space WHEN astronauts eventually set foot on the Moon for months at a time, or establish the first human settlement on Mars, they'll face a challenge that's just as important as rockets and spacesuits: growing fresh food. Taking enough supplies from Earth simply isn't practical for long missions, so future explorers will need thriving gardens millions of kilometres from home. That raises an intriguing question. What happens to seeds and plants after spending long periods in space? Scientists have been searching for the answer for decades. Experiments aboard the International Space Station (ISS) have shown that many seeds survive spaceflight remarkably well. Once returned to Earth, most germinate normally. Living in orbit is far from ideal for plants. Microgravity, increased radiation and an unusual environment all influence the way they grow. On Earth, gravity tells roots to grow down and stems to grow

up. In space that natural guide disappears. Roots can grow in unexpected directions, while water no longer drains through soil as it does at home. Instead, it clings to roots in tiny floating droplets, making it harder for plants to absorb oxygen. Researchers have had to invent clever watering systems that deliver just the right amount of moisture without drowning the roots. Radiation presents another challenge. Outside Earth's protective atmosphere, energetic particles constantly bombard spacecraft. Over long periods they can damage plant cells and even alter DNA. Most changes are harmless, but scientists carefully monitor seeds for mutations that could affect future harvests. Surprisingly, some plants become more resilient after exposure to stressful conditions, opening the door to developing tougher crop varieties. Scientists have also discovered that a plant's nutritional value can change in space. Studies of lettuce, radishes, dwarf wheat and leafy greens have shown small variations in vitamin C, antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. Sometimes the levels decrease slightly, while in other cases they actually increase as plants respond to environmental stress. Flavour and texture can also differ from Earth-grown produce. The good news is that carefully controlled lighting, nutrients and temperature can produce crops that are healthy, safe and enjoyable

to eat. Growing food in space isn't only about nutrition. Fresh vegetables also provide psychological benefits. Caring for living plants gives astronauts a welcome connection to Earth, while the colour, smell and taste of fresh produce can lift morale during long missions in the isolation of space. The technology being developed is impressive. Instead of traditional soil, many experiments use hydroponics, where roots grow in nutrient-rich water, or aeroponics, where they are misted with nutrient solutions. LED lights provide the perfect mix of colours for photosynthesis while using very little electricity. Computers constantly monitor moisture, temperature, nutrients and carbon dioxide to create the ideal growing conditions. These techniques will eventually be adapted for the Moon. Lunar greenhouses will

probably sit inside pressurised habitats or beneath protective domes shielded from radiation and extreme temperatures. Processed lunar soil, known as regolith, may one day help anchor roots, while recycled water and astronaut waste will become valuable resources in a nearly closed farming system. Mars presents even greater challenges, but also exciting possibilities. Its day is only about 40 minutes longer than Earth's, making lighting schedules easier for crops. Scientists hope to use water ice buried beneath the Martian surface and carbon dioxide from the thin atmosphere to help sustain future greenhouses. Every successful experiment brings humanity one step closer to becoming an interplanetary species. Tiny seeds that begin their journey inside a spacecraft today could someday feed entire communities on distant worlds.

incredibly proud of.” A feature of the match was the loud and colourful representation on the sidelines from both clubs’ supporters. Bulmer praised the skill of his established team for keeping their drive and focus throughout the 100 minutes, as well as the support from the younger players who filled in for injured team members and gave their all against tough competition. “Evie ‘Bob’ Bobilak was named Football Mid North Coast Player of the match and it was well deserved,” Bulmer said. “She was involved in both goals with two assists, but it was her constant work rate and influence through the middle of the park that really stood out. “Seeing their faces and the emotion at the final whistle is why you coach. After everything this group has been through together, to see them rewarded with a moment like that was incredibly special. They earned it together and it’s a moment they’ll remember for the rest of their lives.” Peter Briggs, Lake Cathie FC President said it had been a top weekend for football. “It was a fantastic weekend for Lake Cathie FC, hosting grand finals at home on both Friday night and throughout Saturday at our Rainbow Beach fields,” Briggs said. “The win by the A Grade Ladies team on Sunday was a great way to end the season for the club, “I am so happy for the team not only for their hard work and dedication, but also for being great role models to our younger players.”

SHAUN MICALLEF’S ORIGIN ODYSSEY

DENNIS COMETTI: CENTIMETRE PERFECT

SBS, 7.30pm

SATURDAY

GRANTCHESTER ABC TV, 7.30pm

Crime-solving clergy may come and go, but for 11 seasons, DI Geordie Keating (Robson Green, pictured) has been the mainstay of this gentle murder mystery. However, this is the ﬁnal episode of Grantchester, and last week’s cliffhanger ending, which saw the detective shot and left ﬁghting for life, feels genuinely perilous. While Geordie’s loved ones keep vigil by his bedside in hospital, Alphy (Rishi Nair) and DC Peters (Bradley Hall) track the shooter (Sonny Ashbourne Serkis) across Cambridgeshire countryside. It all brings Alphy’s ongoing crisis of faith to a head.

This week, intrepid tour guide Shaun Micallef concludes his second sojourn around the globe, helping famous faces follow in the footsteps of their ancestors – and he’s saved the best for last. For this ﬁnal chapter, Micallef’s travel companion is TV presenter Tony Armstrong (pictured), whose Indigenous heritage is well known; however, the former AFL player isn’t quite as acquainted with his Irish roots. The joy of this series is the revealing conversations held en route, as Micallef unravels the person behind the public persona. A highlight is witnessing the genuine delight on Armstrong’s face as he uncovers parallels between his Aboriginal and Irish cultures.

SEVEN, 8.30pm

AFL fans might have come for the main event, but they stayed for the soundtrack when unforgettable commentator Dennis Cometti (pictured) was behind the mic. Faster than the action on the field, the former player and coach had an unmistakable way with words that defined his five-decade career, and possessed the rare power to make an average game interesting. This featurelength documentary honours the life of the late broadcasting legend – as told by those who knew him: his son, Mark; colleagues Bruce McAvaney, Eddie McGuire, Sandy Roberts and Basil Zempilas; and players Nick Riewoldt, Chris Judd and Bob Murphy. Peppered with memorable calls, it’s a charming tribute. 1809
