Playtime open at the Toy Library By Thomas O'KEEFE TOY stories are playing out in the Myall Coast Toy Library at the Tea Gardens Uniting Church Hall every third Thursday and Saturday of the month. News Of The Area was invited to witness the Toy Library brimming with life and fun things to do, with its well-organised array of hundreds of age-appropriate toys and games. Registered with Toy Libraries Australia, and run independently by locals, the Toy Library was originally set up more than ten years ago by Lissa Macilquham, who also acquired most of the original toys.

Playtime open at the Toy Library FROM Page 1 The lockdowns kept people away, but mothers, fathers and grandparents come in from as far away as Nerong, North Arm Cove, Carrington and Pindimar, the only other nearest registered Toy Libraries being in Newcastle and Cessnock. Kids can play together, then borrow to take home and bring them back the next month when they are ready. “Toy Library is an opportunity to play and borrow toys, not have to buy them, and a social experience for the parents and grandparents, too,” Toy Library President Joanna Lim told NOTA.

Joanna was ecstatic to learn of the Toy Library’s existence a year ago, and similarly disappointed to hear that the Library was shutting down after COVID. Since becoming President in late 2022, she was pleased to announce that membership has more than tripled. “COVID really mucked it up, these ladies have really injected new life into it,” Ms Macilquham told NOTA. “Other mums I knew banded together, no one person could have done this alone, and we thank Lissa for starting it all in the first place,” Ms Lim said. Tea Gardens’ status as the ‘oldest demographic’ in Australia, according to census data, means younger family-oriented services like the Toy Library are vital to keep alive and attract more young families, ensuring a future for the region. With a clear objective to grow, the Toy Library is seeking more parents and likely volunteers to join in this rejuvenation of a fantastic local initiative.

ROAD PROGRESS FROM Page 1

as reported previously in NOTA. So far, two sections of the Myall Way have been started, with MidCoast Council stating that “this project will result in 1.9km of road being repaired”. The work has been funded by the Regional and Local Road Repair Program,

with an estimated cost of $335,272. On the MidCoast Council website, the current phase of the project is listed as ‘Planning’, and both the ‘start’ and ‘end’ are listed as ‘TBC’. While not necessarily unhappy, many locals have indicated that some clearer warning would have been useful, as alternate sides

of the road are ripped up, reducing traffic to one-way stretches. Travel times have extended by up to 30 minutes, as long queues, reminiscent of big-city commuting, are exacerbated by the 60km/hour and 40km/hour zones either side, requisite of modern traffic management. “The work that is being undertaken is heavy patching and resealing

these areas, additional gravel is being added to these areas prior to stabilisation to improve the strength of the pavement; the first section is planned to be sealed on Tuesday 24 October,” said a MidCoast Council spokesperson. However, the Myall Way is 10km from the Highway turnoff to the Singing Bridge, littered with deformations along its length, so residents wonder when the other 90 percent will get done. Council says that these works are planned to be completed in three weeks’ time, subject to weather

and contractor availability. Some impatient motorists, including trucks, have resorted to using the unsealed dirt track we call Viney Creek Road to avoid the queues, but it is a narrow, hilly, bumpy ride, made only more dangerous

Parents often worry that a child with a drug addiction will squander any money gifted to them preferring to leave the child out of their Will or to reduce the amount the child receives. This may lead to the child making a family provision claim causing expense and emotional trauma to those who inherit the estate (or most of it). In a recent family provision claim (Kouroutis v Kouroutis [2023] NSWSC 608) Judge Slattery tried to do the best he could for a daughter who suffered from ill-health and a lack of financial stability and who had been through heroin addiction. The father Willmaker had left this daughter $100,000 but had left the bulk of his estate to his son who he felt was more deserving. Judge Slattery realised there was not enough money in

the estate to make each child comfortable. The Judge has power to alter the terms of the Will. The Judge awarded a further $118,000 to the daughter by reducing gifts to great and grand/children and left the son’s entitlement intact. He determined the daughter’s history made it likely she could squander the money. He directed that the funds be held on trust for her (ie looked after for her by another adult). He also noted that due to a particular legal rule (Saunders v Vautier) the Will needed careful wording to avoid the daughter being able to call for an end to the trust.

KARUAH’S Timber and Oyster Festival made a valiant comeback on Saturday, 21 October, after a long hiatus brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns, and La Nina’s ultra-wet weather. Parking was crowded as the throng filled to Longworth Park, on Karuah’s scenic riverfront, enjoying stalls with 30 local business’ food, crafts, clothes, jewellery and art, and Tea Gardens Lions Club’s famous BBQ. The wood chop events, featuring two NSW Championship events, and a prize money pool over $700 for the day, saw the wood chips blizzard about as competitors racked up valuable points in the state’s competitions, leaving trailer-loads of valuable firewood for next winter’s burners. The Karuah Motor Yacht Club’s kids fishing competition, held on the adjacent jetty, gave out many more prizes, including two rod-and-reel combinations and a fishing

The Karuah Social Travellers ran the licenced area, managed by Pam Cembala, who was pleased to see the crowd, raising money “to keep it affordable for oldies to go away once a year on a trip”. Karuah RSL, the major sponsor of the event, operated in top gear all day and night, as the Bridgeview Restaurant served up its award-winning Asian food, the best available for many miles around. “Karuah RSL is always happy to support events such as these, it is a fantastic day,” Chris Fraser, Karuah RSL’s General Manager told NOTA.

Local fires herald extreme bushfire season q Bush ablaze at Girvan.

By John SAHYOUN

HOT gusty winds and dry conditions have led to the region already witnessing multiple bushfires. The Rural Fire Service (RFS) has described these conditions as normal, with the last few years of above average rainfall giving way to lower rainfall patterns and above average temperatures. The Bulahdelah RFS, the first on the scene of a recent bushfire at Girvan, were faced with a rapidly moving fire with the potential to impact many properties. Crews were directed into property protection immediately.

Many residents made the decision to leave early and evacuate while others with adequate firefighting equipment stayed to help defend their properties. There was extensive damage to bushland and the loss of property. Another recent grass fire in Bulahdelah was started by a spark from a quad bike, demonstrating how easily fires can start. Thankfully, many property owners impacted by recent bushfires had a ‘Bushfire Survival Plan’, which they enacted. Captain of the Bulahdelah RFS, Rod Paar said “There’s no excuse, make your

Bushfire Survival Plan today and make sure you have the Hazards Near Me app on your phone to remain updated. “Please do not be complacent and make a Bushfire Survival Plan, it can make a huge difference to the outcome of the safety of you and your family,” said Mr Paar. Residents should ensure that gutters are cleaned, debris is removed from around properties and insurance coverage is checked. Free bushfire survival kits and emergency radios are available at the Bulahdelah Rural Transaction Centre and the Council office in Tea Gardens.

Oktoberfest at Estia Tea Gardens By Thomas O’KEEFE

OCTOBER’S lack of national holidays was filled when the residents and staff at Estia Tea Gardens celebrated Oktoberfest in style last Friday. The Family Room morphed, once again, into a travel and trivia destination, with the Estia Catering crew doing their ‘wurst’ with a Teutonic spread of traditional German sauerkraut and sausages. Festivities included an ‘armchair travel’ tour of Germany, with residents enjoying the Bavarian Alps and the bustling cityscape of Munich. “That’s actually a monthly themed event, so in July we might go to France

for Bastille Day, or in May to Mexico for Cinco de Mayo, and residents can travel to from the comfort of their chairs,” Peta Kidd, Lifestyle Co-Ordinator at Estia told NOTA. The German trivia was hosted by Estia’s illustrious QuizMeister and Administration Manager Simon Wilson, testing the trivial mettle of everyone’s Volksfest knowledge. With many lifetimes’ worth of trivia expertise in the room, the Meister had his work cut out, and all enjoyed the interaction and excitement. While the lederhosen were optional for the residents and their family, the staff ladies Lenny, Peta and Karen all donned

the dirndls (traditional Oktoberfest dress), and played Biermadchen (beer maidens) for the day, while lucky birthday celebrations were sung for Peggy and Bruce, both sharing the week. The true and specific reasons for the first Oktoberfest have been lost to time, but the first celebration was held in 1810, said to be in honour of Bavarian Crown Princess Theresa, at the time, on the meadows outside Munich’s city gates, called ‘Theresienwiese’. Perhaps it was the copious amounts of beer (7.7 million litres estimated consumed in 2014 alone), and the general carnival atmosphere that made the Bavarians two centuries ago

decide to make it an annual thing. Whatever the case,

Concerned community members to hit the waves in protest of offshore wind plans By Doug CONNOR IN a community where offshore wind has long referred to preferable surf conditions and not a renewable energy source, the potential arrival of offshore wind farms off the Hunter coastline continues to cause tension. Objectors to renewable energy projects off Port Stephens’ coast will ‘Paddle Out Against Offshore Wind Farms’ on Sunday 29 October from Birubi Beach. The paddle out will begin from 11:00, with attendees asked to arrive an hour early for registration. No offshore wind projects have been approved for the declared Hunter offshore wind zone, with the period for developers to submit feasibility licence applications for proposed projects still open until 14 November 2023. With that date quickly approaching, offshore wind opponents are keen to make their objections to the development of an offshore wind industry in the Hunter heard in Canberra. On Sunday paddlers in Port Stephens will join concerned community members from the Illawarra in hitting the water to protest offshore wind projects in their local area. Federal Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen, who declared the Hunter offshore wind zone in July, has opened consultation on a proposed offshore wind area extending from Wombarra in the north to Kiama in the south. With numerous communities across Australia feeling under threat from the Federal move towards offshore wind, regional protest groups have joined forces via social media. Working alongside community groups in the Illawarra has been Boat Harbour’s Rhys Westbury, who has played a key role in organising Sunday’s paddle out. “I’ve organised a paddle out in collaboration with a fellow resurgence group against offshore wind in the Illawarra. “We’ve decided on a paddle out as we’ve seen the groundswell of growing numbers of people turning out at our community meetings, rallies and, as of now, peaceful protests. “We’d like a visual symbol of the collective unity of people securing our relationship to our environment.” Westbury hopes more than 200 locals will take to the water at Birubi to send a clear message to the Federal Government that offshore wind development is not welcome

off the Hunter coast. “We’ve since been in league with both Birubi Surf Life Saving Club and Bay Area Boardriders Club, who have agreed to help us achieve this pledge to hop on boards and use our actions to speak against the Government’s choice to impact our home territory,” he said. How did we get here? Following a 65 day consultation period, which included community information sessions in Wamberal, Doyalson, Swansea, Newcastle, Bar Beach, Nelson Bay and Hawks Nest in early March, the 1,854 square kilometre Hunter offshore wind zone was declared by the Federal Government in mid-July. On August 8, the period for the submission of feasibility licence applications for offshore wind projects in the Hunter area was opened. Industry insiders believe close to fifteen offshore wind developers will submit applications to explore the feasibility of building an offshore wind farm in the zone. Given the size of the declared area, and the energy generation goals the Federal Government has set for the zone, it is likely two or three feasibility licences will be awarded. Once awarded, proponents will undertake five to seven years of studies to ascertain the feasibility of their project, both from a financial perspective and in terms of the potential impacts to the environment, marine life, existing industries and more. Construction of an offshore wind project cannot begin until the feasibility stage is complete, and environmental and other approvals are in place. Industry and union bodies maintain support With offshore wind projects still a long way from reality in the region, three local industry bodies - Hunter Workers, Hunter Jobs Alliance and Business Hunter have reaffirmed their staunch support for the development of an offshore wind industry. “Hunter Workers firmly supports the proposed Hunter Offshore Wind project and welcomes the extensive benefits and opportunities wind power industry would create for the Hunter region economy,” said Leigh Shears, Secretary, Hunter Workers. “We know that overwhelmingly, the 64,000 plus workers we represent from 24 Unions across the Hunter region support the proposed project, which is reflected in the results of extensive community consultation under-

taken this year. “The proposed development can create more than 4,000 quality, secure jobs to Hunter workers, power 4.2 million homes, and contribute to a sizeable reduction in Australia’s carbon emissions.” The business bodies have also sought to address a “misinformation campaign against wind power spearheaded by disingenuous actors”, releasing a joint statement ahead of the recent offshore wind rally held at Nelson Bay. “Unfortunately, disingenuous actors are working hard to spread extensive misinformation to further their own agendas, understandably causing concern among some community members. “We condemn the dishonesty of these actors and implore the community to seek information from a range of credible, trusted sources,” Shears said. Meanwhile Justin Page, the coordinator of the Hunter Jobs Alliance (HJA), has called on offshore wind proponents to

take a proactive approach to avoid impacts to the environment and threatened species. “Where planning frameworks lack or are lagging, proponents must fill the gap to assure the public and the Hunter and Central Coast community that marine, estuarine, and avian species populations will continue to thrive alongside an offshore wind industry,” Mr Page said. “HJA supports growth and investment in renewable energy in the Hunter, including offshore wind. “With the right Government Policy and Framework settings we have the opportunity to maximise local content, mitigate environmental impacts and provide community benefits to the Hunter region.” Business Hunter CEO Bob Hawes reminded the community that there is a “long way to go before any work starts on any part of an offshore renewable project, let alone commissioning and operating a plant”.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

Mr Hawes said a balance must be struck between the need to move forward on the process for these projects and meaningful consultation at the appropriate time. “Large-scale renewables are critical for our energy evolution and offshore wind is an important part of the mix. “We understand more detail on the specifics of proposed projects will emerge after November and into 2024, offering a clearer picture to inform community conversations and feedback. “In the meantime, offshore wind proponent businesses are currently investing time, effort and money in responding in good faith to an invitation extended by the Australian Government and it doesn’t make a lot of sense to halt this process.” Lyne MP takes up issue in Parliament After attending Nelson Bay’s recent offshore wind protest as a speaker, Federal Member for Lyne Dr David

Gillespie has addressed Parliament on the issue. “I would have thought after last Saturday (the rally), that the Albanese Government would realise it needs to start listening and responding to the concerns of the Australian people,” Dr Gillespie told Parliament. “I can assure all of the people who have expressed their concerns about this project that I am absolutely opposed to this development which will have a significant negative impact on our region and the people of Australia." Dr Gillespie expressed concern that offshore wind developments would be “a serious risk to the navigation of local and international shipping and boating”. He also cited impacts to “whale and dolphin (cetacean) acoustics, migration and pod behaviour”, marine bird life, and the commercial fishing, tourism and freighting industries.

more volunteer citizen scientists than ever before to canvass this large expanse of coastline and report any turtle nest activities. “Reporting a turtle nest can be the difference between life and death for sea turtle eggs. “Turtle nests are vulnerable to a range of threats including predation, high tides, and erosion. “The sooner we are notified, the quicker we can get down to the beach and physically protect and monitor the nest until it hatches,” said Ms Dunleavy. Anyone can be a citizen scientist and help protect sea turtles and their hatchlings.

All you need to do is: • Walk your local beach early in the morning, as sea turtles generally nest during the night. • Keep your eyes peeled for any tracks in the sand, which are usually 80-100cm wide and can sometimes be mistaken for tire tracks. • Take your phone with you so you can quickly call NSW TurtleWatch or NPWS if you see any signs of turtles, tracks or a nest. NSW TurtleWatch has been developed by Australian Seabird and Turtle Rescue and is proudly funded by the NSW Government.

Small business events offer food for thought By John SAHYOUN

SMALL Business Month is held in October and there are many activities and events on offer to assist and inspire small business owners. The theme for this year is ‘My Small Business’ and an event was held at the Manning Entertainment Centre with an attentive crowd of small business owners in attendance from all over the MidCoast Local Government Area. The theme of this event was ‘Time for a Business Health Check’ and was sponsored by MidCoast Council and the MidCoast Business Chamber through a grant from the State Government. Business health isn’t just business wealth, it is the health and wellbeing of you and your staff. Business health is also the financial health of your organisation and your ability

Keynote speaker Elle Sproll.

The events’ keynote speaker was Elle Sproll, Founder of ‘Own Your Health’. Elle was a highperforming senior marketer at a large banking organisation when she was diagnosed with Triple Negative Breast Cancer at 33. Rare, aggressive and difficult to treat, she immediately began chemotherapy. Over the next three-

plus years of treatment, she shifted her thinking from “Why me?” to “I’m going to get through this” Elle now helps corporates and individuals do the same. Elle founded Own Your Health to harness her first-hand experience and empower others with the knowledge and resources she wishes she had during her journey from diagnosis to recovery and beyond.

As a certified health and nutrition coach, she’s worked with people to transform their perspective of health and build long-lasting habits that have helped them recover from burnout and cancer treatment. This was followed by a panel that discussed bringing out the best and looking after yourself, your staff and your business and a networking session over a cuppa.

for one hot, winner-takes-itall extravaganza on Saturday, 14 October, featuring tribute bands including Bjorn Again, Disco Revolution, and others, with special host Tristan McManus. “The town really pulled together for their one big day in the year,” Mr Smith said, alluding to the concept that for many such country towns, this sort of event is their major tourist draw, their Waterloo. Among them, a caravan convoy moseyed westward, from gleaming Port Stephens waters to the dusty plains, where locals have done it tough over the last few years as COVID kept visitors away, and La Nina washed out many roads. Tea Gardens’ Bernard and Pam Smith, Keith and Laurelle Baker, Don and Davina O’Brien, Jim and June Martin, and Bob and Anna Boersma laid their love on the event, and enjoyed several other country road

stops along the way. Western gems such as the Wellington Caves, Burrendong Dam, the Man From Ironbark Hotel, the Pub in the Scrub, and the Rabbit Trap Hotel were on the list, each owning a uniquely Australian vibe and tall-tales, and also the bright lights of Gilgandra and Merriwa. “Many people from the coast may not have been out to see what the country has to offer,” Mr Smith, a retired farmer from Orange, told NOTA. As much about the journey as the destination, as Mr Smith agreed, “It was great to get away with friends, tell a few lies and talk among the caravans on the road.” Given recent years’ events, these places can use some money, money, money, and coastal locals can benefit from knowing more, knowing new places west of the Divide.

MYALL COAST News Of The Area

Dire situation for Myall River and Lakes DEAR News Of The Area, THOMAS O’Keefe’s frontpage story last week definitely illustrates the dire situation this community is facing in the lack of direct action from our leaders. The sand build up from Corrie to Tea Gardens is increasing and the ferry businesses are reporting daily grounding. They estimate the access

to Tea Gardens will be an impossibility in the New Year. Already we are told they are looking to strengthen their businesses by seeking outside charters. The ferry business alone averages 1500 passengers a week, with an average expenditure of $75. Then we have the river and lakes who attract many visitors,

daily or weekly who rely on safe access. Now we have the owners of house boats etc who rely on the river to access the slipway in Tea Gardens. Then we face the fact that after a history of timber/fishing, we now have a reliance on tourism - we are facing the possibility of that loss. The Chamber of Commerce estimate that business to represent almost one million bed nights and local expenditure of $60 million. It seems incongruous that

our representations seem to go nowhere. We hear of dredging campaigns at Swansea/Ettalong and Forster, but seems we are hung out to dry. Maybe it is time for this community, residents and business owners to state their opinions and let the powers that be, know that immediate action is required. Regards, Gordon GRAINGER, Tea Gardens.

Slipway defib unveiled

NEWS

By Thomas O’KEEFE

A LIFE-SAVING Automatic Electronic Defibrillator (AED) has been installed at the Tea Gardens Slipway, providing the public with another vital tool that could make all the difference. The highly visible AED is housed in a weather-proof casing, mounted on the southern external wall of the Slipway’s winch-house, near the pedestrian access gate. “The management committee of the Tea Gardens Slipway Association recently agreed to a proposed purchase of an AED for the benefit of the slipway users and the TGHN community,” Paul Bendy, Slipway Association President, told NOTA. “We were of the understanding that all of the AEDs in Hawks Nest/Tea Gardens are behind locked doors after hours, so we believed it was in the community interest to locate one where it is accessible 24/7.” This Slipway Association initiative could save lives, ensuring that precious minutes will not be lost attempting to locate another AED anywhere else near that end of Marine Street. According to St John Ambulance, “For every minute that passes without receiving a resuscitation attempt in the form of CPR or an AED shock, a cardiac

arrest patient’s survival chances decrease by ten percent, the first five minutes proving the most critical.” While CPR is essential, an AED delivers a measured shock far more efficient at re-balancing the heart’s natural rhythms, increasing the chance of survival by 30 percent. Potential users should be aware, however, that AEDs are not designed to restart a heart that has completely stopped, as

only expert medical attention and equipment can deal with that situation. The AED was purchased from Heart of the Nation on the advice of Kelly Pietsch, a local emergency services specialist from Myall Coast First Aid and Safety Training. The AED’s casing contains an access alarm, and the AED itself

has an inbuilt tracking device that is continuously monitored, meaning that any legitimate user may receive further help from emergency services, and any wrongful users will be duly caught red-handed. The Slipway has its own active security system, for added surveillance.

DEAR Jasminda,

The Write Direction By John BLACKBOURN

Blow the whistle ONE of the elements in life that I find difficult to understand is the treatment our society delivers to whistleblowers. Generally, whistleblowers are citizens who are so affronted by the corruption they have seen swept under the carpet by those in power that they are moved to expose the truth to all. The name most synonymous with whistleblowing in our time must be Julian Assange.

Born in 1971 in Townsville under his mother’s surname of Hawkins, the computer programmer founded the online news sheet known as WikiLeaks in 2006 - a name now known the world over. His issue started when WikiLeaks published a series of internal US Defence Force emails in relation to the ongoing war in the Middle East provided by US service person Chelsea Manning. The information leaked related to airstrikes by the US Air Force in Baghdad, to the great embarrassment of US authorities. As I understand it, and visual displays often show on our TV screens, US planes appeared to deliberately gun down personnel on the ground suspected of being terrorists, given permission to do so over radio by those in charge of the operation. The leaks raised questions about who to trust in relation to the conduct of armed forces amid that difficult situation in the Middle East. Information exposed by whistleblowers such as this, who are deeply troubled by

Myall River problem DEAR News Of The Area,

THE buildup of sand in the lower Myall River estuary from Corrie Island upstream to north of Tea Gardens is increasing noticeably. Our local ferry operators are reporting daily groundings of their ferries on shallow areas of the river bottom and they estimate that access to Tea Gardens from Port Stephens Gardens may be impossible by early 2024. They also advise our community members that they are seeking outside charters to cover the likely future loss of access to Tea Gardens. Our ferry operators state that they carry an average of 1,500 passengers weekly between Tea Gardens and Nelson Bay, with an average expenditure on board their ferries of $75 per passenger. Ferry passengers also spend extra amounts at each end of the service, boosting the Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest and Nelson Bay local economies. Many tourists catch the ferries across from Nelson Bay to Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest Golf Club organises a ferry and golf package for visiting golfers staying on the southern side of Port Stephens.

over $60 million. Myall Quays Community Association is located in Tea Gardens around a substantial lake which is part of our development. Our lake is connected to the Myall River and is tidal. Over the last several years, the lake has suffered from major weed infestations. We have sought advice from NSW DPI and it is likely that this weed problem, which occurs in other marine environments in our region, has been caused by reduced tidal flush and a reduction in salinity levels in the Myall River. Substantial dieback of mangroves has also occurred along several kilometres of the eastern shore of the Myall River around Swan Bay, which also appears to have been triggered by reduced salinity levels in Swan Bay due to shallowing of the entrance channel from the river. The Myall River and Port Stephens are major attractions for our local tourism industry and many local businesses cater for boaters. Tea Gardens has a recently updated slipway which is used by many boat owners in our region to service their vessels. Continued deep water access to the slipway is essential to allow boats to be safely and efficiently floated onto it. The Hexham Bridge Bypass Project is now well underway and road travel times from Sydney to our region will be

After many years of hard work my husband and I have finally bought our dream home which is a waterfront in a lovely location. A couple of months ago a longdistance friend who I haven't seen in about 20 years sent me a message wanting to reconnect. Now she's sent me another message saying she's heading our way for the summer holidays and would love to spend some quality time staying with us. I've got no idea what to say. I haven't even met her kids. Pauline F. Dear Pauline, MMMM. If it smells like a rat and runs like a rat it's a long-distance pseudofriend who wants a holiday after years of no contact.

I'd imagine your friend first sealed the deal on your appeal when she was flicking through social media and saw photos of the view from your loungeroom and master bedroom. She then did a quick Google search of your location and planned her itinerary, packed full of tours and dips in the pool (your pool). Living in a dream home doesn't just happen. It takes years of sacrifice, early mornings, double shifts, discipline and having a really clear goal at the end that drives you to jump out of bed every morning, even when you don't feel like it. It's hard, and harder still when you know most of your friends and family are taking it easy or prioritising different things. When you reach that end goal, to have them reappear doesn't fool anyone. You feel taken advantage of, and you should. Let your friend know that you'd love to catch up for a coffee or for dinner while she's on holidays, but you already have people staying in your home (you don't have to specify that those people are you and your husband).

Carpe diem, Jasminda.

what they see as being inhumane, irrational, dishonest and totally morally offensive, certainly raises a lot of questions. So, how are whistleblowers treated by our society, our governments and private citizens? Unfortunately, the weight of the official version is used to crush out the side of the argument that has been exposed by the whistleblower. Often the truth is either forgotten, hushed up because it is seen to be politically unpalatable, or is ruled to be illegally obtained.

The system then turns on the whistleblower to assassinate his/her character, all in pursuit of hiding the truth - never let the truth get in the way of a good outcome. There is recent whistleblower legislation out there, but I doubt if any of us know what it is or how it might operate. The sad truth is that genuine, honest, reliable and highly morally sensitive individuals are being put to the sword in order to cover up the truths that the system doesn’t want us ordinary citizens to become aware of.

substantially reduced once the project is completed. Weekly and holiday tourist visitation will then no doubt substantially increase in our area throughout the year. Myall Quays Community Association supports the immediate dredging of the lower Myall River and marine access routes into Port Stephens from the river to maintain safe boating, increase saline tidal flush in the river and ensure that our key ferry service operates safely and regularly at all stages of the tide. There are more than 500 residents

living in Myall Quays and they are vitally interested in the environmental health of our lake and the Myall River.

Warm water brings summer visitors Stinker’s

Fishin’ and Stories

By John ‘Stinker’ CLARKE WITH the water inside the port gradually getting warmer, as the summer months approach, we can expect that certain fish and crabs will arrive. Whiting and flathead are very welcome summer visitors as are blue swimmer and mud crabs. The mud crab has a variety of names, muddie, punga, black crab, mangrove crab and many others if you are unfortunate to be grabbed by its powerful claws.

Mainly confined to the northern half of the continent the mud crab can generally be found where mangrove trees grow. With a lifespan of around four years the crab has a fascinating life cycle that sees the female, once mated, leave the estuary system and head for the open ocean where she can migrate from ten to 30 kilometres offshore into water 20 to 40 metres deep. The tiny crabs then re-enter the estuaries to grow and develop in the mangrove forests and so the cycle recommences. In Port Stephens the muddies grow to an enormous size, up to three kilograms, which is unheard of in most similar habitat regions.

Vaccine shortage for cats calls for greater caution

By Lindsay HALL

PHARMACIES are not the only businesses feeling the pressure of limited stock, with the RSPCA issuing a caution to pet owners to restrict their cats movements amidst a shortage of vaccine supply. This shortage has led to concerns for local vet clinics, who are faced with the task of advising owners how best to manage the treatment and vaccination of their cats and kittens while supplies are restricted. Dr. Kathryn Stalder, one of the local veterinary practice owners, has been doing her best to brace for this problem.

“Over the past few months it has become incredibly difficult to access specific brands of cat vaccines, but in the past week it has become apparent that there is a nation-wide shortage of vaccines that protect cats against feline herpesvirus, calicivirus and panleukopenia virus, which are core diseases that each cat need protection from.” Dr. Stalder said that the problem will not be shortlived. “We have been informed that supplies cannot be expected until February 2024.” As Australia enters the warmer seasons - a time of year that typically sees

increased breeding activity amongst felines - owners are being urged to ensure that their companion animals are desexed, and kept indoors as much as possible. The RSPCA issued a wide press-release this week to explain the shortage and the implications for their animal welfare centres throughout the state. Dr. Liz Arnott, the Chief Veterinarian for NSW RSPCA, explained the major concerns the organisation has due to the vaccine shortage. “Core feline vaccinations play a pivotal role in safeguarding cats from not only cat flu, but also the fatal feline panleukopenia virus. “Although feline

panleukopenia is rarely encountered in pet cats and flu symptoms are typically manageable, they are much more commonly seen in a shelter environment and can have dire consequences.” The announcement outlines the stringent vaccination protocols that the RSPCA employs to prevent outbreaks amongst their animals in shelters. Because the shortage means that they are unable to maintain this protocol, the organisation will not accept felines into care until a regular supply can be reestablished. This means that strays, unwanted or abandoned litters of kittens and

NEWS companion animals that can no longer be managed at home cannot be surrendered to an RSPCA facility, and it is likely that other shelters and animal welfare agencies will be forced to make the same decision. Veterinary clinics are not able to accept surrendered animals, as the costs for care and staffing would be prohibitive. “The impacts of this shortage will be especially challenging in high density environments such as shelters and catteries,” Dr. Stalder warned. For this reason owners are being implored to ensure that their cats are desexed and that their movement be restricted as much as possible to prevent uncontrolled breeding and the possibility of viral

transmission. “During kitten season, feline intake at RSPCA NSW increases by eight times, up to 500 kittens each week,” Dr. Arnott said. “In just two years, a pair of undesexed cats can lead to 20,000 kittens. “Desexing is vitally important to prevent unwanted pregnancies and keep your beloved feline friend healthy.” For her own clientele, Dr. Stalder is working to manage her current stock. “To mitigate the risks and ensure we have adequate doses for kittens, we are offering adult cats the ability to check blood titre levels to ensure continuous protection. “Maintaining your cats indoors will further limit the risk of disease transmission.”

Tea Gardens Men’s Bowling Club News By John SLATER

Greenhalgh and Barry Goode. They managed the highest winning score of 17. The Garden Eatery voucher was won by Rick Islaub. Our thanks to the Garden Eatery for sponsoring this voucher. 21 Oct. The first round of the Club Championship Triples commenced today with only two matches scheduled. Peter Gurney, Chris Ross, and Cody Ross took on Stephen Mount, Barry Goode, and Anthony Grant in what turned out to be a tight game. The Cody Ross side

prevailed with a score of 2316. The second match saw Geoff Page, Phil Thrift, and Bill Thrift taking on one of the favorites, John Parkison, Jeff Baker, and Greg Brown. Suffice it to say that the Brown team won by a “considerable margin.” 22 Oct. It was a warmish day today which may have limited the number of Sunday bowlers to 22. There were 3 games of Triples and one game of Pairs. The lowest winning margin took home the

money with Brian Clarke, Bill Jones, and Phil Thrift successful with a margin of one. Next week the Sunday Bowlers will join with some club players to take on the visiting Northmead side. The second round of the Club Championship Triples was played today with Col Amos Tony Butler and Mark Hair team taking on the successful round one Cody Ross side. Judging by the score, it was a particularly good game with the Ross team progressing with a score of 29-23.

Myall Tennis Club side won six, but no-one really seemed to care and that seems to be the nature of this new game as both teams and their supporters headed to the pub afterwards for lunch and a laugh. “It was great to see both young and old reconnecting socially through sport to their community, and that’s what pickleball and the Tennis Club are doing while at the same time it’s great fun and very social,” Mr McDermott said. “We had two lovely ladies in their 80’s come along to try it out last Friday. “That is wonderful to

JOANNA LUMLEY’S SPICE TRAIL ADVENTURE

ABC, 7.30pm

In this vibrant voyage taking in the centuries-old spice regions of the world, the Absolutely Fabulous star emanates a warmth and enthusiasm that really does spice up every scene. Across four episodes, premiering tonight, the riches of the world’s spice history, from Indonesia and Zanzibar, to India and Madagascar, is explored. In her “most epic voyage yet”, Lumley’s ﬁrst stop is Indonesia’s Banda Islands, once the only place in the world that the coveted nutmeg grew. With pepper, vanilla and cinnamon informing Lumley’s upcoming destinations, it’s an educational feast.

It’s a lesson in bold, brash confidence and how to sport skimpy swimming attire with the same nonchalance as wearing a tracksuit. In this dating show, everyone is unsurprisingly young and beautiful, but they also have attitude and sass to boot. Returning to the sunny climes of Mallorca, Spain, along with breezily outspoken host Sophie Monk, this season’s contenders – five men and five women – have signed up to find love, but there’s a juicy power shift in store with the girls seizing control of the sun-kissed search for connection. The singles include Kirra (who made a splash defending sister Bronte earlier this year on MAFS), along with long-time single Ben – who is ready for marriage at 22.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

SBS, 7.30pm

While other networks peddle glamorous reality TV shows about finding love or getting a makeover, SBS continues to push boundaries by shining a light on societal issues with bold and reflective content. Backed by The Welcome to Central Goldfields pilot project, AMES Australia and the local community, and hosted by the lovable Myf Warhurst, this engrossing three-part series follows eight diverse households’ move to small-town Maryborough, Victoria. Like many Aussie regional towns, Maryborough is ageing, with a severe skills shortage, but these city-dwellers are ready to join and reinvigorate the community in this three-month-long social experiment. 2710
