Ryan Palmer, Mayor of Port Stephens told News Of The Area, “We’ve seen record investment into infrastructure across the LGA which is certainly what this council is all about. “All the Councillors at the moment are very keen on seeing things progress.” Throughout the term he believes that Council has turned community ideas into strategies which have been implemented. “It is really exciting to see things happen, Medowie is being linked with pathways and we are starting to see some development out at Karuah with the sports field and Anna Bay is now a vibrant space built by the community.”

Beach blitz By Alice HENNEN

AS Port Stephens bids farewell to a mostly mild summer, thrill-seekers are still flocking to the sand to soak up some last minute beach fun.

The watchful eye of Port Stephens police has not missed misbehaviour on the dunes however, with complaints of illegal camping, dangerous driving, driving without a valid beach permit, and driving unregistered

vehicles. It was decided by Port Stephens police in conjunction with Worimi Lands Council, National Parks and Wildlife Service and Port Stephens Council, that regular compliance operations would be conducted throughout the year, without warning, to ensure that 4WD enthusiasts

were complying with rules and regulations. “It’s designed to combat the hooliganism on the beach,” explained Inspector Ian Skelly of Raymond Terrace Police Station. On Sunday 28 February, the first operation was conducted on Stockton Beach, with police performing

with two other passengers and had only just set off, when the storm began to gain on

them. “I looked at James (the Captain of the ferry) and

asked if we would make it back. “He promised us that he

q Rose captured part of nightmare journey on the way back from Nelson Bay on video.

ROSE Ringuet thought that she and her family were going to have a nice ferry trip back from Nelson bay, but when a horrific storm hit the waters, passengers on the ferry were left fearing for their lives. After noticing that many of the other passengers on the ferry had not boarded, Rose began to worry about the storm that was quickly approaching. Joined by her partner, brother and sister, they boarded the ferry alongside

Elder Abuse

By Marian SAMPSON

THE Age Care Royal Commission has shown us that elder abuse is a very real threat to vulnerable members of our community. Sadly this abuse happens in more settings than just aged care facilities. Sometimes it even happens in an older person’s home. Medowie Based Solicitor Brooke Vitnell told News Of The Area, “As a local solicitor based in Medowie I was invited to join Medowie Probus Group to address their members and guests on the topics of Elder Abuse, Enduring Guardianship, Enduring Power of Attorney and Institutionalised Child Sexual Abuse. “The most common types of elder abuse are:

financial abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional and psychological abuse, isolation / neglect and abandonment.” The Australian Institute of Family Studies estimates that 14% of older Australians aged 65 years and older, experience some form of abuse every day. These statistics are particularly alarming given the growing number of older Australians in our region and here in Port Stephens. “In our society one's age should have no bearing on one’s right to live free of financial or physical abuse,” Ms Vitnell said. Victims of elder abuse, physical or financial or someone who may suspect they know a victim should call the police. Reports can also be filed through the Ageing & Disability Commissioner's

468 breath tests as well as numerous drug tests. One driver was charged with drink driving offences, another driver was busted for drug offences, and a number of vehicles were slapped with defect notices for not being compliant with safety standards. “A lot of these 4WDs

are illegally modified and not roadworthy,” explained Inspector Skelly. National Parks and Wildlife Services issued several fines to drivers who did not have valid beach permits. “We intend to hold further operations to curb activities which disturb the peace.”

would get everyone back to shore safe,” said Rose Ringuet. “The storm started getting worse, and the ferry began to go side to side, virtually kissing the water on each side. “The waves were horrible and we crashed over every wave, almost filling the boat with water. “For a good 25-35 minutes, my family feared for our lives. “I had never been in a storm as bad as this was. “My sister couldn’t swim and my partner has a disability and I began to think that ‘this is it’ and started to plan for the worst,” Rose told News Of The Area. As the ferry hit the cross water (where the ocean goes into the river), Rose described this as the worst section of the

trip with raging waters unlike anything she had ever seen before. The moment that the ferry reached the shore Rose and her family began to clap and cheer for the captain and even shouted “Hip hip hooray”. They could finally breathe a sigh of relief. They were safe. “He (James) had control of the ferry the entire time. “From the get-go, he told us that he would get us home safe and he did. “I cannot thank him enough for getting us through, without his skill and control, we wouldn’t be alive. “However, I don’t think I will be getting onto a ferry anytime soon unless I know for sure that the weather will be okay,” said Rose.

Support For Koalas From Italy With Love By Marian SAMPSON

MANY locals were gutted when they learnt of the fate of Patu the koala who was hand raised from the pouch after his mother passed. What we may not have realised was that Patu not only won hearts here in Port Stephens but across the world. It was a very sad day for everyone at Port Stephens Koalas when Patu passed. Yet his passing has led to a very special donation all the way from Italy from Italy with love! Francesca Cioffi, from Lecce, Italy, was following the news of the horrific bushfires last summer and the devastating effect it had on koalas. She was inspired to do something to help, so she adopted one of the koalas on the Port Stephens Koalas’ website, and also made a donation. Francesca wanted to do more, so she contacted the team at Port Stephens Koalas. “I'm Italian and I have been following your website since the recent bushfires. “I love the idea to help

you raise money for your little and cute koalas very much, even though I live so far from Australia. “I'd like to know, if you are pleased to receive my handmade felt koalas, in order to sell them and fundraise for your organization.” Shortly after the bushfires, when Covid-19 struck, Italy was hit hard and Francesca spent countless hours throughout 2020 throughout lockdown designing and handcrafting her felt koala decorations, keyrings and bookmarks. Francesca was particularly touched by the sad loss of Patu at the koala hospital last September, and she handcrafted a felt koala in his memory. “This is my gift for you at Port Stephens to keep forever: a felt version of our little boy. “He has a pink rose in his hands because I read you buried him under a rose,” she said. A representative of Port Stephens Koalas told News Of The Area, “Francesca’s gorgeous handcrafted creations have arrived - all 101 of them!

The special “Patu” koala with his roses.

“Our thanks to Francesca for choosing to support Port Stephens Koalas and it is obvious from the attention to detail such as adding little beads and bows the time that

it must have taken Francesca is very much appreciated.” Port Stephens Koalas will be having a stall on Saturday, 20 March, 2021 (9am-4pm), on the Stockton Street Stage

Area in Nelson Bay where the public can pop by and purchase some of these hand -made felt koalas along with other koala merchandise. All proceeds from this stall

are used to look after sick and injured koalas. From across the miles the team at Port Stephens Koalas send Francesca their Grazie! With Amore!

shows the economy will grow by an extra $12 billion, wages will grow and more than 10,000 jobs will be created if the super guarantee increases as legislated. It is the first

study that comprehensively measures all the economic factors involved in the relationship between super and wages, debunking claims there is a simplistic, direct trade-off between the two whereby super disappears into a blackhole without making any contribution to the broader economy. It finds the billions available in extra capital will expand the economy, leading to a demand for more labour – which in turn fuels wage growth. Ultimately, more money will flow into workers’ pay packets over the medium and long-term, ultimately leaving both the economy and all Australian workers better off. With billions of dollars of

additional investment driving economic growth, jobs and productivity, increasing the super guarantee will give our economy the boost it needs to continue its recovery. However, the increase is under threat, there are those who want the Prime Minister to break his promise and cut the super rate will need to explain to Australians why they want to cut $12 billion in economic growth, cut wages and cost 10,000 jobs. The Hon. Malcolm Turnbull, 29th Prime Minister of Australia said, “Australia’s superannuation system is the envy of the world.” “The legislated increase to 12% should be maintained, not just to deliver a more secure retirement for millions

of Australians, but to build stronger economic growth and higher wages.” Should parliament vote to change the legislation they will be voting to cap the superannuation guarantee for Australians at a much lower rate than that they themselves receive with parliamentarians receiving contributions of 15.4 per cent from the government. Cutting super will also add more than $33 billion to the aged pension, a burden we all pay through higher taxes. For a region where people choose to retire to, more in the kitty means a greater quality of life in the long term.

Parklets Provide Seating For Endless Summer Entertainment By Marian SAMPSON

SHOAL Bay got an injection of vibrancy in the newly activated parklets which have been installed outside some businesses on the main street. The parklets were originally destined for Nelson Bay, however traders felt that loss of parking spaces was detrimental to business and given that there were further opportunities for street dining the parklets have been relocated to Shoal Bay.

The parklets occupy five parking spaces commencing east of the 15 minute parking zone outside the chemist and heading towards the Country Club.

While five spaces have been lost on the main road an additional seven spaces have been created in the street which runs parallel to the beach. The informal car park on the corner of Government Road Shoal Bay at the traffic lights is about to be improved with marked spaces creating an additional 30 parking spaces to cater for the busy holiday traffic. Mayor Ryan Palmer told News Of The Area, “The parklets were originally destined for Nelson Bay as a part of

a shared spaces grant. “The aim is to get people out and about and back into the street.” Local business operator Dave Harding told News Of The Area, “It brings outdoor seating areas, brightens Shoal Bay up and creates a vibrant atmosphere.” “It brightens the joint up, and opens new opportunities for business.” The parklets have been installed just in time for Council’s endless summer entertainment program which will see artists performing on the streets of Shoal Bay on 13 March from 5-9pm, 20 March from 6-8pm, 27 March from 5-7pm and 10 April 5-7pm. Thursday saw the launch of the parklets which are not quite finished, safety barriers are still to be installed to stop pedestrian movement from the parklets onto the busy road. You can check out the scheduled performances at www.portstephens.nsw.gov.au/ endlesssummer

Rotary Charity Golf Day To Support HRMI By Marian SAMPSON

CHARITIES have been hit hard by COVID-19 but it isn’t going to stop the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay from holding its annual golf day in 2021. The Rotary Club of Nelson Bay has waited patiently for 12 months to conduct its twenty ninth Annual Charity Golf Day. The event was scheduled to be held at Nelson Bay Golf course in early April 2020 and was postponed due to the Covid 19 pandemic. After being postponed in 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions the club is excited that one year on the event now will be held on Friday 26 March 2021. Port Stephens Council and Toyota Port Stephens are the major sponsors ensuring this event will proceed. Many other local businesses have provided financial and other support, plus entered teams to play on the day. Rotary Club Director and Charity Golf Day organiser, Arja Levonpera, has done an outstanding job coordinating sponsors, players and activities. Ms Levonpera told News Of The Area, “Without the loyal support of both

sponsors and players, plus Rotary Club members and volunteers on the day, the event would simply not occur. “The Rotary Club of Nelson Bay is currently celebrating 65 years of serving the local community. “With the club's charity golf days giving $250,000 back to the local community.” While many local businesses are still doing it tough, Ms Levonpera stated their unwavering loyalty to the Rotary Club was reward in itself and urged local residents to support local businesses. Port Stephens Council Mayor Ryan Palmer, a strong supporter of this event, said Council recognised the great community work carried out by Rotary and other community organisations, especially in the past 12 months where fund raising projects have been curtailed through Covid-19 restrictions. Mayor Palmer said a small investment to Rotary for this event will see a greater return to the community through projects already supported by the Club. Port Stephens Toyota has supplied a Toyota Yaris, valued at $26,000, as a major hole-in-one prize.

Manager Michelle Smith, stated that Port Stephens Toyota is a supporter of Rotary, and one of the principals of the Burton Family Group of companies, Norm Burton, a Rotarian at East Maitland, was recently awarded an Order of Australia Medal for his services to the community and Rotary. Proceeds from this year’s Charity Golf Day will enable the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay to provide funds to HMRI (Hunter Medical Research

Institute) for Associate Professor Kelvin Kong’s project for more efficient Indigenous ear diagnosis and many other Rotary community projects. Professor Kong has had a long association with the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay which has already given $20,000 and a further $10,000 is needed to meet the Club’s initial commitment. The Federal Government is also supporting Kelvin Kong’s important project.

Over 100 players have registered to play in the tournament, with some places still available. It is a friendly day, with the Ambrose format providing opportunities for golfers of all abilities. There are many great prizes on offer, plus auctions and meat raffles after the day’s play, where hamburgers and chips will be served in the Clubhouse. For more details visit the Nelson Bay Rotary website www.rotarynelsonbay.org, or to book your place in the tournament visit trybooking. com/712593 or call Arja Levonpera on 0412 373 050 or arja.levonpera@gmail.com q A Toyota Yaris for a hole in one!

THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW

WIN, 8.30pm

Many of us have fond memories of watching Graham Norton’s famous guests squeeze onto his big red couch for a raucous chit-chat, but the pandemic has put an end to those shenanigans. For the moment, at least. While it’s still strange to see Norton’s set dotted with armchairs spaced 1.5m apart, or his guests phoning up on video chat, it’s comforting to know that cheeky banter and a good yarn aren’t a thing of the past. Tonight, Amy Poehler tells all about her rebellious new ﬁlm Moxie and Jennifer Garner chats talks about her new family ﬂick Yes Day.

Comedians perform bizarre and hilarious tasks with a liberated ease that only the British could muster in this top-notch game show. Fronted by Greg Davies (below), along with his ‘sidekick’ Alex Horne, who concocted the show’s premise more than 10 years ago at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, season six kicks oﬀ with two episodes tonight. The fresh panel – Alice Levine, Asim Chaudhry, Liza Tarbuck, Tim Vine (Not Going Out) and Russell Howard (The Russell Howard Hour) – grapple with wheelbarrows and making towers out of lemons, among other absurd things, in what is only the beginning of their 10-episode shenanigans.

BACK ROADS

ABC, 8pm

A robust sense of hope and resilience has always been the backbone of Back Roads, along with a deep appreciation for the unique landscapes and people that make up the small towns dotted across our country. Tonight, presenter Heather Ewart embarks on an emotional return to Mallacoota, the Victorian town which was lashed by an unprecedented ﬁrestorm in 2019, which destroyed more than 120 buildings, for heartbreaking and enlightening stories of survival and grief. Ewart catches up with the people she met in the 2016 episode to ﬁnd out how they are coping not only with the blaze’s aftermath, but also the pandemic. 1903

Stockton Men's Bowling Club By David BURNETT

THE 2021 Saturday Pennant Competition commenced on 13 March, with 5 sides from the Club entered in this competition. No. 2 Grade played Hamilton North at home and in a close fought match

Thursday, 18 March, 2021

won overall by 64-60 shots (points 10-0), No. 4 Grade played Mayfield West away and won (points 9.5-.5). No. 6 Grade played Tea Gardens away and in another close encounter won by 5956 shots (points NA). No.7-1 Grade played Nelson Bay away and lost by

54-57 shots (points 2-8). No. 7-2 Side played Valentine at home and the inclusion of our Lady players in the Men's competition proved a winning move, recording a comfortable win by 67-50 shots (points 9-1). Sometimes the efforts of the most diligent reporter can

get the story wrong and this was the case with the report on the Club Minor Singles recently. With apologies to the Winner, Mick Slater a correction is following. Some facts were correct with skill and luck both playing a part in the result. Mick in fact was never headed in the game.

www.newsofthearea.com.au

The closest Leo Payne came was in about the 5th last end when he scored 3 shots to level the scores at 27 all. Two ends later Leo was holding 4 shots and game when Mick trailed the kitty to restrict Leo to 1 shot (score Mick 29-Leo 28). Next end Leo played a weighted shot to trail the kitty to all his back bowls and close

out the game only to see the kitty rebound from one of his bowls and give Mick 1 shot (score Mick 30 Leo 28). Leo scored 1 shot on the next end and Mick drew 2 accurate draw shots on the last end to which Leo could not respond, the final score was Mick 32 Leo 29. A great game well worthy of a Finals match.

DEAR Jasminda,

PANTRY PEEKERS “I saw your recent Instagram post where you suggested that a tidy pantry is essential when selling because buyers peek in pantries! Is that really a ‘thing’?” FIRSTLY, thanks for checking in to randrproperty on Instagram! I hope you’re enjoying keeping up with our listings, sales and community activities. And yes, pantry peeking is definitely a ‘thing’. While keeping your entire home clean and tidy throughout the sales period is essential, often forgotten is what lies behind cupboard doors and buyers will look, generally to see how the space is configured – but also to sticky beak. It is regularly said that kitchens sell homes; storage being a key component, so clean, organized cupboards including the pantry – the heart of every meal – creates a sense of space and calm. Messy packets spilling and bottles oozing onto shelves not only creates a sense of chaos they are also a foundation for mice and rats. Opening a cupboard door to be greeted by chaos and worse - mouse droppings - is a major turn off for buyers. Pantries don’t have to be filled with expensive products, it’s not about status, it’s about care for a home a vendor is seeking to sell. With a neat and tidy pantry you can smile knowing you have the pantry peeker’s seal of approval! Denise

When Waterfronts Were Free By Geoff WALKER

umbrella of 'permissive occupancy' and without doubt the one owned by 'Skipper' was the most interesting. It sat in the middle of Henderson Park where the play equipment now stands. Old Skipper had no water or sewerage connected and used the public amenities block. He had a pet white cockatoo to ward off intruders and sold fresh crabs which he would net in front of his house. The Council tried to get rid of him but he refused to go. Indeed, his brother moved in when Skipper died and dug in as well. Finally when he too passed on, the bulldozers flattened it. The last of the boat sheds was at 'The Gibbers'. Our then Coast Guard tried to get possession but failed, bringing to an end a time when waterfronts were 'owned' by simple fisherfolk and holiday makers at little or no cost. Sad, isn't it?

JUST recently a waterfront property at Tanilba Bay sold for over $1.5 million. This price was achieved just two weeks after being listed and buyers are still swamping agents with enquiries about similar properties. There was however, a time when you could 'own' your own private waterfront and even build your own 'private' boatshed and jetty without paying anything. Mallabula Point used to have several boat sheds erected on its rocky foreshore with rails leading into the water. One even had a motorized winch for hauling in a boat. It's owner, George Harper, could launch his boat, run his gill net and be back home in a bit over 20 minutes! There was also a 'private' jetty nearby which anybody could use. That changed when q The Davis family and others Council notified the owners at the old Gibbers boat shed. to demolish the illegal structures or they would do it and bill them. Suddenly nobody claimed ownership and the Council tore them down. They did however leave the jetty which, over the years was maintained by locals until a $100,000 grant from the Federal Government saw a new one built. Other waterfront structures came under the

My neighbours’ cat prefers living with me. It suns itself on my deck, follows me in the garden and if the door is open, and curls up on my lap and falls asleep. The neighbours are at work all day and so they are unaware of this behaviour. The thing is, I’ve become very attached to the cat, and I feel as though it feels the same about me. Last night when it was being called to come in at night, it hid in my shed, and ended up on a little bed I’d made it in the hallway. Should I speak to the neighbours about adopting it more formally? Mrs Tiffany B. Dear Tiffany, I think you must realise that you have, in fact, turned into a cat napper, and I don’t mean the type that curls up in front of the midday movie for a little power sleep. I have no doubt that the cat enjoys your company during the day when it is lonely, but you have definitely encouraged the behaviour by allowing it to sleep on your lap during the day and in its own little bed that you’ve made it at night. Your poor neighbours were probably frantic that their feline friend had gone missing, and there you were, holding it hostage, complete with a crocheted rug and a little mouse toy no doubt. Did you feed it some sardines or tuna as an added enticement? You can’t just adopt other people’s pets, Tiffany. Even if they show you affection. I would recommend that you contact the various pet rescue facilities in the local area, and perhaps adopt a cat that doesn’t have an owner and is looking for the sort of love and attention that you are able to provide. You also might like to let your neighbours know that their cat is roaming around when they are at work and quite possibly enjoying not only your hospitality, but also the birds and lizards in the local area. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Under 12's come close in semi final By Elysia MONTGOMERY

TILLIGERRY under 12s played their semi final on Saturday against Hunter Valley Grammar School. Unfortunately, despite a strong performance against undefeated opposition, the talented Port Stephens youngsters did not come away victorious on the day. Tilligerry bowled first, bowling out the Hunter Valley opposition for 78. Tilligerry then took to the crease to chase the score down. Unfortunately the last wicket fell just a mere 11 runs short. The effort of the entire

Sail Port Stephens heading off to the beach By Mark ROTHFIELD

HAVING built Sail Port Stephens into one of Australia’s premier yachting regattas, organisers are now looking to replicate the same successful formula for dinghy, skiff, catamaran and sailboard racing. For the first time, a full off-the-beach regatta will be held on 24-25 April – the peak weekend for Sail Port Stephens activities, including the NSW IRC Championships. There will be junior and open divisions, with all classes invited to attend. Host club Bay Sailing Centre, situated on the shores of Salamander Bay, has a 40-year history of running local dinghy sailing as well as world, national and state championships for myriad classes. It faces east towards the majestic Port Stephens headlands and a body of water that’s widely regarded as offering one of the best sailboat racing tracks in Australia. A long stretch of white sandy beach and two grassy reserves either side of the clubhouse provide ample rigging and launching opportunities. In addition, there is a

public wharf and concrete boat ramp 100 metres to the north of the site. The event will bring together all the laid-back fun factors that make Sail Port Stephens so popular with competitors, combined with the professional race management resources of Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club, which was granted the lease to Bay Sailing Centre in December 2020. “Sail Port Stephens started in 2007 with just 25 yachts, a far cry from the 160 entries received for our last regatta in 2019, and once again we’re at absolute full capacity for marina berths and moorings in 2021,” said Race Director Jennie Hughes. “So, we’re aiming to build the off-the-beach component in a similar way, starting from the ground up. “It’s a great time to be at Port Stephens, with ideal weather conditions, lots of social activities and a relaxed sailing carnival atmosphere throughout the area. “Plus, we’ll be ramping up the media coverage with drone footage and professional photography to give class associations a major publicity boost.” Restaurants, bars, marinas, local hotels and

Also, for those content just to watch the racing, Bay Sailing Centre has a café serving barista-made coffee and snacks. “We’ve previously held an event for juniors only in onesail classes like Lasers, O’pen Skiffs and Optimists. Opening it up to other classes, and adult sailors, creates more opportunities for families and couples to compete,” Jennie Hughes adds. “Already the NSW Finn class has expressed interest, and they may bring some boats down from Queensland. We’d love to have them,

FORGET the hype around all of the professional shredheads gracing the shores of Port Stephens lately, the real stars of the show have been the region's grommets! After the big showing for the Port Stephens Pro at One Mile Beach earlier in the month the Bay Area Boardriders were keen to get their next round rolling along at Samurai Beach on Saturday. When the waves didn’t come to the party for the day the older age divisions were canned and the club’s new generation got to take on the micro-tubes with some adult assistance. Club Co-President Mark ‘Buey’ Buchanan said even though the conditions didn’t allow the older crew to get

amongst it, the club’s new family-fun focus got to shine through. “This year we’ve really been trying to realign Bay Area Boardriders with creating a family-oriented club that likes to have plenty of fun on the beach and in the water,” said Buey. “We surf because we all get to have fun in an all-inclusive environment and that’s what we want to showcase this year. “It’s all about getting together to share waves and the beautiful region that we’re all very privileged to call home!” While there was still a sense of competition between the younger generation as they traded tubes at the Northern end of Samurai, the club declared all involved the winners on the day as they rolled back to Robinson Reserve for a social gathering. “While we still held heat formats for the day, today was just a good solid social outing for the club and the families and friends around the club,” said Buey. “Notch it up as a win for all of our members, stakeholders, sponsors and surfers this year!”
