provided close to $1.9 million for the boat ramp upgrade under the NSW Government's Boating Now program. Port Stephens Council contributed a further $350,000 to the project.

“This project is another great example of the NSW Government's continued investment in boating infrastructure,” Mr Hutchings said. “The upgrade is part of a larger scope of work at the Little Beach boat ramp facility and TfNSW has committed an additional $100,000 in funding to support the $180,000 installation of new accessible amenities,” he added. Greg Kable says this is the upgrade our community has been waiting for.

“It will provide a better experience for all local and visiting boaters and most importantly, improve safety for all those that use this facility. “In the New Year, we will start on new accessible toilets, beach showers and improved pathways at Little Beach,” Mr Kable said. Construction of the new amenities building at Little Beach boat ramp is expected to commence and be completed in 2022. For more information about the project visit portstephens.nsw.gov.au/projects.

approaching there are options for voters to consider. Firstly, who will they vote for to deliver on their priorities for the community and secondly, will they vote above or below the line? Voting above the line supports groups, either aligned with a political party or a group of independents that are planning to work together and who will have set preferences for their votes. For Councillors you can vote below the line or for a group above the line. If the first person in the group is voted in, their extra votes automatically flow on to the second candidate on their ticket. You can also number 2 and 3 above the line for your preferences after your number 1, and in the event your number 1 group does not get enough votes or exceeds their vote quota, their excess votes will be distributed to another group that you preferenced once that group's votes are exhausted. However to complicate matters, one group can preference another group, therefore if a group doesn’t get enough votes to be elected all their votes can flow on to an entirely different group. This may mean that you vote for a party that you recognise and support at State or Federal level but that your votes will be forwarded on to another group or party electing different candidates to Council with your vote.

Be Inspired About The Environments Future By Marian SAMPSON

ARE you worried about a future for yourself and your children on a warming planet? The movie 2040 has an inspiring message of hope about the environment. It shows us there are many ways for us to deal with the climate crisis and begin repairing the damage right

now. The innovative movie 2040 is a great opportunity for families to share a positive learning experience and enjoy a complimentary drink, popcorn or ice-cream and pizza. EcoNetwork Port Stephens is offering a viewing of the movie 2040 on Thursday 2 December.

“When the opportunity came to hold a community showing of the 2040 movie, we engaged with Port Stephens Council who are supporting us with this family program,” said Sue Olsson, EcoNetwork Port Stephens’ Vice-President. Domino’s Pizza and Nelson Bay Cinema discounts are also supporting the event.

The movie’s message is made for families and people everywhere, not for scientists, about how we can create the momentum, through our choices, to create change and innovation at a higher level. “We are encouraging families to join us at 6pm on Thursday 2 December at Nelson Bay Cinema for a community showing of this

entertaining and uplifting documentary, structured as a visual letter blending dramatised sequences and high end visual effects, from a parent to his child,” said Sue. Following the movie there will be a short Q&A session where movie goers can ask a panel of well qualified community

members questions about how they might help the community to map a path towards an ecologically sustainable and equitable future. The movie showing is a lead-in event to the Sustainable Futures Festival - organized by EcoNetwork Port Stephens which will be held next year in May at Tomaree High School. The festival will showcase environmental innovation, sustainable living and the different ways in which nature enriches our lives. Sue added that, “One of the key drivers for sustainability and regeneration is community education, and the Festival’s hands-on experiences will be the best way for our Community to explore endless possibilities. “We will be inviting the community and businesses to get onboard and exhibit their products, services and programs.” The movie will show from 6-8pm on 2 December at Nelson Bay Cinema with tickets costing $12 for adults and $5 for children.

Meet Kelly Hammond By Marian SAMPSON

KELLY Hammond has been advocating for the residents of Port Stephens for many years, and is running on Jason Wells’ Labor ticket for Central Ward. Kelly Hammond told News Of The Area, “Jason shares my values and passion for community and I believe he will represent our community honourably. “I'm very excited to be part of team Leah Anderson and to support her run for Mayor of Port Stephens. “I want the community of Anna Bay to be listened to, to be consulted.” She believes that this is the case for the whole of Port Stephens. “I believe we need someone to unite our community, we are missing basic services, potholes, pathways and playgrounds that are safe for our children.” Kelly first met Leah when she was the President of the Business Chamber and was reaching out to the businesses in

Anna Bay. “She encouraged me to support her cause of civic pride within the town and later the 7-day makeover became a reality.” Kelly believes that the small towns throughout Central Ward are all crying out to be heard, each town is different, but all filled with people that love where they live. “From Karuah and Swan Bay along Tilligerry right through to my hometown of Anna Bay basic infrastructure is needed. “Like many people on the Peninsula, I have concerns about over development, high rise development and lack of care for our environment. “I’m not against progress but I believe everyone has a right to a home. Kelly is currently working with Port Stephens Council staff to ensure that the first doggie day out in Robinson Reserve is a success. She has worked tirelessly to see the positive outcome for dog walkers at Birubi Beach and has advocated with the community to keep Boat Harbour headland accessible for all. q Kelly Hammond is ready to step up and serve her community.

Mayor Palmer Seeks Second Term By Marian SAMPSON

RYAN Palmer hardly needs an introduction to the residents of Port Stephens. Mr Palmer has been serving as Mayor since 2017, which is the longest term any Mayor has served based on one election, after election postponements due to COVID-19. Now Mr Palmer is asking the people of Port Stephens to entrust him with a second term as their elected Mayor. There is no doubt that we have seen change since the last elections under Mr Palmer's leadership, and there are achievements that he and his team can be proud of. Palmer's team of Independents has a five point plan for the future. The focuses of his campaign are ‘Connection’ – continuing to deliver unrivalled investment in our roads and pathways, creating safe and accessible places for all ages and abilities; ‘Active’ – investing in our sporting facilities, parks, playgrounds and town centres, where

we prioritise people; ‘Community’ – delivering exciting new community events, a thriving night time economy and connecting our people; ‘Environment’ – unparalleled support for our vulnerable koalas, native species and beautiful waterways; and ‘Prosperity’ – delivering projects for future generations, partnering with business and delivering world class experiences. Team Palmer includes some familiar faces as well as some new ones. For East Ward there is Ryan Palmer, Glen Dunkley, Bruce Scott, Natalie Vogtmann, and Nicholas Diemar and for Central Ward his team comprises Chris Doohan and Steve Tucker. Mayor Ryan Palmer told News Of The Area, “I am really proud of our independent team. “We have a really positive approach to doing what is best for the Port Stephens community. “Our campaign has focused on the issues not individuals and this will continue if re-elected for a second term. “We are ready to deliver for the people of Port Stephens and work collaboratively with

Opportunities for the Hunter from COP26 By Marian SAMPSON

THE Carbon Market Institute (CMI) says that COP26 has created opportunities for Australia however the Hunter will need to adapt and change as the use of fossil fuels is increasingly coming under the international microscope. While the agreement is seeking a phasing out of coal there are other opportunities for the Hunters energy businesses to enter and potentially dominate. According to CMI Australia risks losing its advantages in carbon crediting and clean technologies without stronger policies to deploy, not just develop, technological solutions. Following the most influential COP since the introduction of the Paris Agreement in 2015, the spotlight has shifted to the federal government and business to seize new opportunities and unlock the barriers to a sustainable and ‘just’ transition. CMI CEO John Connor stated, “Australia now has a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build on its well-established and globally regarded carbon crediting mechanism, and its proposed Indo-Pacific Carbon Offsetting Scheme, to set high standards in the new post-Glasgow global carbon markets. “Both of these Australian and regional emissions trading and carbon pricing schemes need to deliver integrity in the credits and in the ambition of the emission reduction trajectory they support.

verified emission reductions and other social and environmental benefits are achieved in industrial decarbonisation and natural climate solutions. “There is an urgent need to mobilise these markets to ensure we maximise climate action this decade. “Unfortunately, progress will be limited until there are updated policy frameworks to support this ambition, including reforms to Australia’s Safeguard Mechanism. “This is a generational

opportunity that can’t be missed.” The CMI believes that post COP26 Australia and others will be under greater scrutiny at COP27 and COP28 and whether its phase down or phase out, the global focus shifts to managing the transition from fossil fuels and the need to do this in a “just” inclusive way. Furthermore new rules for international cooperation and carbon markets provide a platform for high integrity, transparency and comparability, but corporate

“Carbon markets must be means to end that means helping achieve the Paris temperature goals.

and national vigilance on integrity and emission reduction will be vital and that there is greater emphasis on the importance of protecting, conserving and restoring nature in achieving netzero emissions, including forests and other terrestrial and marine ecosystems. CMI stated that Australia is well positioned to become a global leader in naturebased solutions development, knowledge brokering, finance and capacity building but

needs to nurture its crediting mechanism integrity frameworks and have a more credible emissions reduction trajectory and failure to deliver on public and private climate finance pledges remains a stumbling block with commitments to double adaptation funding and a “dialogue” on Loss and Damage barely keeping developing countries at the table; with this issue likely to be central to COP27 and future progress.

“Australia has abundant opportunities in clean energy, technology and natural climate solutions and a decade of considerable experience and achievement in monitoring, reporting and verification. “This expertise and experience alone is an important potential export, but policies are required that drive investment in the deployment, not just the development of technology.” Under Article 6 agreements in particular, COP26 has delivered a platform for greater international cooperation and established a governance framework for international emissions trading. “This now needs to be aligned with booming voluntary global and Australian carbon markets to ensure

Blockade Australia Protests Continue By Tara CAMPBELL BLOCKADE Australia’s protests against the Newcastle Coal Port have continued, with over twenty actions disrupting not only the Port, but all of New South Wales. Actions began on Tuesday 9 November, with activists protesting through abseiling, car locking on rail infrastructure, climbing coal trains, rail pylons and trees attached to train lines.

The past week has seen two people hang from a stacker-reclaimer, a critical piece of machinery which loads and unloads coal, halting all operations. Alongside this, at least one person entered the Coal Port hitting multiple emergency stop buttons, shutting down the world’s largest port for over six hours. A representative of Blockade Australia said, “Blockade Australia is focusing nonviolent, highly disruptive tactics on the infrastructure of so-called Australia that profits from Extractivism and the

resulting climate collapse. “There has been an impact of over $60 million dollars to the coal industry in the last 10 days. “This intentional political and economic action is designed to force the corporations and government driving ecological collapse to stop functioning.” As of 18 November, 27 people had been arrested over twenty actions, with NSW Police forming Strike Force Tuohy (Toohey) targeting any attempts to disrupt the services. Minister for Police and

Potholes Cost Ratepayers By Marian SAMPSON

FRUSTRATION is hitting our roads as residents are hit with the cost of vehicle repairs after hitting potholes on Port Stephens Council roads. One resident has applied unsuccessfully to have repairs to his vehicle reimbursed by Council after a pothole incident. While we all know that Port Stephens has seen some significant weather events in the past year, we do have a certain expectation for the condition of our roads, after all that is part of what our rates are supposed to pay for. However many of Port Stephens roads are a patchwork of potholes and repairs on top of repairs, leaving many residents scratching their heads as to why these potholes haven’t been successfully repaired. Port Stephens Councillor Giacomo Arnott told News Of The Area, "Council's failure to properly invest in our roads is leading to locals needing to foot the cost of damage to their vehicles. “It is unfair and this Council gets a big F on their report card for maintaining local roads," he said. The issue of potholes has become a cornerstone in the upcoming Council Elections with Mayoral candidate Leah Anderson stating, "My team's top priority will be to fix the mistakes of this Council, and properly invest in our roads. “We will fix potholes faster and better, and investigate ways to better do pothole works so that our roads stay stronger for longer." Meanwhile drivers need to stay alert to the dangers that potholes create on our roads and cross their fingers that

it won’t be their car that is damaged on the roads. A spokesperson for Port Stephens Council said, “The Civil Liability Act 2002 is the framework Councils insurers use to guide claims of negligence where Council is the roads authority. “This protection provides statutory recognition that Council resources are finite and must be prioritised to identify and manage the risks to our stakeholders and allow for prioritised treatment according to available resources. “Public safety is Council’s primary consideration in our road maintenance program, incorporating this framework for inspections, assessment and repair in priority order. “It is noted and understood that potholes are an ordinary part of the road lifecycle that Council factors into resourcing plans. “However, weather events can cause a rise in damage and increase the demand for maintenance. “In periods of wet weather our crews are out inspecting, assessing and repairing our road network in priority order. “Council closely monitors the condition of our roads, particularly following significant weather events and persistent wet weather periods. “We have added an additional road maintenance team in this period and are responding to issues according to the risks presented. “In some instances, Council makes the decision to undertake immediate repairs to make a site safe, allowing our crews to attend to a larger number of sites and allow properly designed small scale rehabilitation projects to be prepared.

Emergency Services, David Elliott, said police have increased security and surveillance along the rail corridor to prevent further disruption to commuter and freight trains in the area. “This government will not tolerate protestors undermining commuter activities and causing significant damage to these local industries which employ people from across the region,” Mr Elliott said. Northern Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Peter McKenna, said police were targeting protestors as a priority and their activities would not be tolerated.

“The actions of this group and individuals involved are placing lives at risk,” Assistant Commissioner McKenna said. “Illegally entering rail corridors and expecting trains that are over 1.5km in length to stop for people placing themselves in front of them is outrageous and incredibly dangerous behaviour. “We will continue to use the full force of the law to locate and arrest any persons involved in this criminal activity.” Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Taylor Martin said, “I rise to support our mining workers, train drivers and rail workers, the police, and everyone else who has

had their safety and their livelihoods threatened by these idiots from the rag-tag so-called Blockade Australia. “It will shock no one to learn that the Government will not be supporting this motion which seeks to condone criminal activities. “It seems that in the world of The Greens, the minute you dress up any activity in the name of climate activism, it is fair game and it is all OK. “They are anti-coal, antiregional jobs, anti-industry, anti-police, but pro-criminal. “I support the Police in seeking the maximum possible sentence for anybody involved in these idiotic acts,” Mr Martin said.

Iconic Raymond Terrace deer to be culled By Alice HENNEN WHEN Raymond Terrace resident Laura Charlton received a letter from Port Stephens Council outlining a plan to cull wild deer in the area, she was horrified. The letter, dated 26 October 2021, read that the deer had been identified as feral animals and pending feedback from local police and RSPCA, the council had decided to engage professional shooters to remove the deer population. Mrs Charlton enjoys seeing the deer graze whilst out walking her two dogs. “They don’t do any harm and it’s a bit mean to shoot them,” Mrs Charlton told News Of The Area. “They’re a local icon.”

“Following extreme weather events, Council would advise drivers to ensure they drive to the weather and road conditions. “During or after poor weather, this is particularly important as visibility may be

Port Stephens Council has become aware of an increasing deer population in the Beaton Avenue and Irrawang Swamp area and, as a result of this population increase, there has been a number of complaints about deer running onto roads and being hit by passing vehicles. “We know that deer can become a serious issue [sic] in urban areas, particularly when moving near road corridors,” explained Brock Lamont, Port Stephens Council’s Strategy and Environment Section Manager. There are no road signs to warn motorists that there are deer present in the area. After a recent meeting of the Hunter Regional Pest Animal Committee, Council agreed that shooting was the most humane method to eradicate the wild deer population. “The controlled shooting operation requires extensive

planning and risk management including traffic management and a complete safety plan,” said Mr Lamont. “This would be managed by a qualified contractor in consultation with the NSW Police and Council.” If the cull is to go ahead, after liaising with Hunter Water and hearing community feedback, it will occur over two nights in the lead up to Christmas. The venison collected from the cull will be donated to local zoos to feed animals. The Council reminds residents that these deer are wild animals and should not be approached. Any sightings of or interactions with wild deer should be reported to Council. Residents who have any questions or concerns about the proposed deer control program should contact Jordan Skinner, Environmental Operations Team Leader, on (02) 4988 0392.

“An additional $3 million has been added to the road rehabilitation budget and an additional $1 million has been added to the road resealing/ resurfacing budget,” they said.

Hunter’s Hydrogen Future

creating new jobs in the Hunter and Illawarra, while also helping to secure our energy needs into the future.” Treasurer and Minister for Energy and Environment Matt Kean said the legislation will allow NSW to capitalise on the growing hydrogen export market, with green hydrogen set to become a

leading fuel source in the Asia-Pacific by the end of the decade. “Our Hydrogen Strategy is expected to increase the size of our economy by more than $600 million each year, while helping the State to halve emissions by 2030,” Mr Kean said. “Hydrogen will help to

reduce our carbon emissions in sectors like heavy transport and industry, create jobs and open up new export markets for NSW.” The NSW Hydrogen Strategy includes: $70 million to develop hydrogen hubs in the Illawarra and Hunter regions; exemptions for green hydrogen production

from government charges; 90 percent exemption from electricity network charges for green hydrogen producers, who connect to parts of the network with spare capacity; funding for infrastructure assessments for large-scale production; and a hydrogen refuelling station network roll out across the State.

The Energy Legislation Amendment Bill also includes reforms to allow renewable energy projects, like wind turbines, in the State’s softwood pine plantation estate. “Renewable energy projects will help to create regional jobs, attract investment in the bush and diversify Forestry Corp’s revenue, at the same time as providing sustainable timber supplies for decades to come,” Mr Kean said. Any forestry land used for renewables would be required to be replaced on a two-for-one basis to ensure the harvestable forestry estate continues to expand. The Port Of Newcastle is already being assessed for the viability of it becoming an export hub for Hydrogen. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said, “The region has been key to Australia’s energy security and with continuing strong demand for baseload power fuels and the potential as a clean energy hub, Newcastle and the Hunter will be an important part of Australia’s transition under our plan to reach net zero emissions by 2050.”

Regiment. “He was Charter President and Life Member of the Lions Club of Stockton, an alderman on Newcastle Council and NSW Senior Citizen of the

Year,” Ms Nelmes said. Norm was honoured with an MBE for services in the community in 1976 and continued to be an active participant in all aspects

of the community, from Progress Associations, P&C and a number of committees before his passing in 1998 aged 99. The monuments were brought back from the Australian Army Camp in Malaya before they were moved to Singleton Army Base, where they watched over the parade grounds for several decades. They were moved to Norm Bassan Park when the Lions Club of Stockton installed a memorial in 1975 to recognise Stockton's role in the military fortification of Newcastle and to

acknowledge those in the area who served in military conflicts. In 2019 the Hunter Business Lions Club commenced a campaign to restore them. This project was driven by the community due to its historic importance and scenic location on the Stockton Foreshore with the iconic Newcastle Harbour in the background.

The Hunter Business Lions Club were successful in 2020 in raising over $22,000 for this project which is proudly funded by the NSW Government ($15,000) in association with Australian Lions Foundation ($5,000), Lions Club of Mayfield and Waratah Blind and Vision Impaired ($1,000), and other donations received online from members of the public in Stockton.

HYDROGEN is being pitched as a new industry for the Hunter region and businesses in the Tomago industrial area are already getting ready to embrace the technology and build jobs in the region. The NSW green hydrogen industry is set to boom with the legislation underpinning the NSW Hydrogen Strategy passing Parliament. Premier Dominic Perrottet said NSW is leading the nation in developing a hydrogen industry, which is projected to attract over $80 billion in private investment, support 10,000 jobs and open up new export markets. “We are leading the nation when it comes to emerging technologies and seizing the opportunity to attract national and global investment in this future industry to grow our economy,” Mr Perrottet said. “Our hydrogen energy industry will allow us to develop new export markets with our core trading partners, including Japan,

Foreshore Drive repairs underway

REPAIRS to the Foreshore Drive culvert and installation of the new bridge are underway and on schedule to be completed in time for Christmas. All options were considered for the replacement of the culvert and the locally manufactured InQuik Bridge ticked all the boxes. Port Stephens Council’s Facilities and Services Group Manager Greg Kable said the pre-fabrication of the bridge is now complete and ready for delivery to the site. “We’ve been working hard to clear all debris from the waterway and the rock revetment works are complete in preparation to begin installing piles to hold the new bridge,” Mr Kable

said. There will be large truck movements, additional construction equipment and submerged objects within the waterways. “We know the community is interested in this project and there has been a steady rise in sightseers since the project began. “This next week is our most complex with hazards that could cause serious harm to the unaware visitor,” Mr Kable said. “We encourage the public and local community to keep outside of the fencing and take note of the signage that is in place for your safety,” he added. The completed bridge creates a bigger channel for flood water to move through

should we encounter a significant weather event in future. It will also offer safe pedestrian access, with a 2.4m footpath on the downstream side of the bridge. The prefabricated bridge was manufactured in Tomago and can be installed with minimal impact on the environment. Weather permitting, piling works will take eight days from Tuesday 16 November 2021, to support the bridge being open by the end of December 2021, with final line works happening early January 2022.

A MAN has died following a single vehicle crash in Port Stephens this week. Just after 11:15am on Saturday 20 November 2021, emergency services were called to Richardson Road, Campvale, following reports of a crash. On arrival, police were told a car had left the roadway and crashed into a tree. The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle – a 62-year-old man – was treated at the scene by members of the public and emergency services but died at the scene. Members of the public acted quickly to provide CPR and hurried to Raymond Terrace Fire and Rescue station to ask for assistance from the brigade.

Deputy Captain of Raymond Terrace Fire and Rescue, Giacomo Arnott, spoke to News Of The Area about the incident. “I want to thank those members of the public who commenced CPR on the individual and commend those in attendance for having the idea to send someone out to the station to ask for assistance,” Giacomo said. Richardson Road remained closed for a number of hours following the incident. Officers attached to Port StephensHunter Police District established a crime scene and commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash. Emergency services remained on-scene for a number of hours. A report will be prepared for the information of the Coroner.

The officer spoke with the driver – a 51-year-old man – who returned a positive roadside breath test. The man was arrested and taken to Nelson Bay Police Station, where a subsequent breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.245. His driver’s licence was suspended, and he was charged with driving with high-range PCA and exceeding speed over 30km/h. Marine Rescue On Tuesday 16 November, Marine Rescue Port Stephens were called to a five metre runabout which had a line tangled around their prop, positioned just north of Little Island past the Port Stephens Heads.

THE LARKINS

ABC, 7.30pm

There are times for hard-hitting drama, and there are times for a cup of tea with two spoonfuls of sugar: welcome to The Larkins. More than 30 years after The Darling Buds of May series, this adaptation doesn’t try to rewrite the story one iota. It’s a smart move – the world could do with sweetness and this dramedy offers it in spades. There’s a danger that fans of the original won’t appreciate the nostalgia, but new viewers are likely to fall in love with the large working-class Larkin family from 1950s rural Kent. The meandering story, starring Bradley Walsh and Joanna Scanlan (pictured), features some wonderfully over-the-top sets.

No longer the new kid on the block, this Aussie rendition of the British format is arguably the most popular version in the world. This Hamish Blake-led (pictured), family-friendly romp has now clocked up three seasons, making it the longestrunning LEGO Masters anywhere. Now, a festive Christmas special with a bevy of well-known guests is proving again that good things come in small packages. In tonight’s jubilant finale, Sophie Monk, Scott Cam, Brooke Boney and their teammates have one last hurrah before finding out who will be crowned the LEGO Masters Bricksmas winners. It’s a colourful spectacle which would have been perfect Christmas Eve fare.

Memories of the HMAS Sydney By Geoff WALKER

THE recent release of the name of a sailor whose body was recovered after the sinking of HMAS Sydney in 1941 has brought memories flooding back to Tanilba's Barbara Evans. DNA testing has now identified the sailor. He was Thomas Welsby Clark, a 21-year-old able seaman on the light cruiser. No other trace has been found of the other 644 sailors who perished on that fateful

day some 80 years ago. His body and a liferaft were washed up on Christmas Island in early 1942. But, dear reader, we are getting ahead of ourselves. To set the scene for our maritime saga, we have to backtrack to WW1 and the original HMAS Sydney. In Australia's first major sea battle, the 'Sydney' was despatched from convoy duty to deal with the German cruiser 'Emden' in the Cocos Islands. It was a decisive victory

with Sydney pounding the 'Emden' into a battered hulk and driving it aground. The 'Emden' received 100 hits and suffered the loss of 134 dead whilst the 'Sydney' was struck 16 times and three sailors died. After service in the North Atlantic, 'Sydney' returned to Australia where it was broken up for scrap in 1929. Its tripod mast still stands as a beacon on Bradley's Head in the port after which it was named. Other items from the

vessel were donated to various cities and towns and bollards from the ship take pride of place atop pillars of the arched gates at Tanilba Bay. The second Sydney was constructed in England in 1933. It's armament included 8x6 inch and 4x4 inch guns and eight torpedo tubes. The ship served with great distinction in the Mediterranean campaign, sinking two large Italian warships and participating in

the waters over the site to remember the greatest loss of life suffered in a single incident in the history of the Royal Australian Navy. Barbara Evans's links with the Sydney are very personal. You see, her father, W/O J A E Fuller, was one of those lost. She treasures small photos of him and still has his naval sword in her possession. On top of this, the sprightly 91-year-old has a shard of the damaged Sydney's funnel.

FESTIVE DELIVERY and DEADLINES

Her father brought it home for her all those years ago before setting sail on that last fatal voyage. “The loss of my father had a devastating impact on our family,” she said. “I was eleven years old at the time. “My mother was left with three children to support on a pension of just four pounds ($8) per week. “She was too proud to accept charity and went out to work to bring in money, leaving us to do all the chores,” she added.

The German raider also went down but most of the crew took to the lifeboats and ended up as POWs. Despite exhaustive searches, nothing was found from the 'Sydney' until 1942 when the unidentified body and a life raft were washed ashore. Another local link with the ship was established after the wreck was found. In 2008, Member for Paterson Bob Baldwin, with other government and naval officials, cast wreaths upon

Whilst declaring that she was the 'Straat Malakka' the vessel could not give its secret identifying official code number. On top of this, the stated name of the craft did not appear on a list of allied shipping which were supposed to be in the area. The new captain, Burnett, drew closer to try to clarify the situation but in reality he was being lured into a trap. The ship in question was in fact the 'Kormoran', a disguised Germain raider.

On arrival back in its home port, the vessel and crew were given a ticker-tape welcome. Huge crowds gathered on the foreshore and schoolchildren were given a holiday to go and see the ship which still sported a large hole in its funnel where an Italian shell had left its mark. These celebrations were soon to end and a sombre mood took hold of the nation when the Sydney was lost with all hands off Western Australia some time later. It was whilst patrolling

WHAT IS A BODY CORPORATE? “What is a body corporate and what does it do?” ‘BODY Corporate’ has been renamed as the more user-friendly ‘Owners Corporation’. An OC is the governing body managing a Strata Scheme in its entirety. For example, a block of apartments will have an OC to manage the common areas. The owners of each apartment are automatically members, and they are the ones who elect the Manager and Committee. While the role varies between States, in NSW responsibilities include repairs and maintenance of common property (paths, gardens, the building’s exterior, insurance, keeping up to date with relevant laws such as planning, building, fire and safety inspections and OH&S laws and record keeping etc). Each owner contributes an annual fee proportional to the unit entitlements of each building. These funds are split between an administrative fund to cover day-to-day expenses such as garden maintenance and a capital works fund for major works, maintenance or repairs. Apart from the daily administration being taken care of, there are other appealing benefits such as the power of an OC to ban the use of apartments as shortstay accommodation venues/party houses! And remember – you and your legal representative should check the details before signing any Contract. Denise

Have your say on plans to widen Hexham Straight

PLANS to upgrade a section of the Pacific Highway between the Newcastle Inner City Bypass and Hexham Bridge took a leap forward last week, with the release of the concept design and environmental assessment for community comment. The Hexham Straight widening project is being delivered as part of the Australian and New South Wales governments’ $2 billion commitment towards the extension of the M1 Pacific Motorway to Raymond Terrace, which will transform journeys between Sydney and the Queensland border. The Australian Government is contributing $1.6 billion to the 15-kilometre M1 extension, with the New South Wales Government contributing the remaining $400 million. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Barnaby Joyce said the proposed six-kilometre-long Hexham Straight project would improve traffic flow along a critical route. “The M1 extension is another example of the Australian Government’s record $110 billion infrastructure investment plan delivering for communities,” the Deputy Prime Minister said. “This route is part of the National Land Transport Network and provides an important connection to the Port of Newcastle, ensuring goods and commodities can reach international markets and generate the export dollars Australia relies on.” NSW Minister for Transport and Roads Rob Stokes said Transport for NSW asked the community earlier this year for input into the initial design – and the concept design takes the feedback into account, where possible. “A key issue raised by the community was related to improving traffic flow at the

Weekly Fire Update By Tara CAMPBELL

IT was a busy week for Raymond Terrace Fire & Rescue NSW crews, particularly on 20 November. The crew’s work day started at about 9am with reports of a garage on fire on Mount Hall Road, Raymond Terrace. When crews arrived they saw flames and smoke billowing out of a detached garage at the rear of a property. The team quickly got to work with Firefighters in Breathing Apparatus to put the fire out, which started and was contained to a car within the garage. Crews from Tarro and the Rural Fire Service, Police, and Ambulance attended to assist with bringing the fire under control and assisting at the incident. Deputy Captain Giacomo Arnott said, "We have attended a fair few garage fires in recent months, with varying causes.

“We recommend a smoke alarm in your garage if you have combustibles, chemicals or frayed and damaged electronics plugged into the wall. “A fire in a garage, especially if it's attached to a house, could easily spread without you knowing and cause significant damage,” Giacomo said. At about 11:20AM, a member of the public entered the fire station while the crew was packing up after the garage fire and informed them about a car crash nearby where members of the public were performing CPR. The team immediately responded along Richardson Rd and arrived to assist with CPR and use their defibrillator. Unfortunately despite the best efforts of emergency services, including Police and Ambulance officers, the individual was not able to be saved. On Sunday 21 November, the crews worked to help clean up a large debris field enabling traffic to pass through after a five vehicle crash on the M1 southbound just south of Richardson Road. There were no major injuries at the scene, but large traffic delays on Sunday afternoon.

intersection of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass and Maitland Road, so the new design includes an additional left-turn lane northbound and off-road shared path at that intersection,” Minister Stokes said. “Transport for NSW also gave consideration to feedback about access along Old Maitland Road and Shamrock, Fenwick and Merchant streets, but the initial design was considered the safest option for residents and motorists. “The community is now being asked to provide Transport for NSW with comment on the concept design and the Review of Environmental Factors (REF). “In addition to this, comment is also invited by the City of Newcastle on an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), as the upgrade would potentially impact three small areas of land classified as coastal wetlands under the state’s planning rules.” Senator for New South Wales Hollie Hughes said, “It is among the busiest transport corridors in NSW – used by about 50,000 motorists a day and carrying some of the highest traffic volumes in the Hunter region. “The Hexham Straight proposal involves upgrading six kilometres of the existing highway from two to three lanes in each direction and building a new bridge across Ironbark Creek. “Not only will this reduce congestion during peak periods, providing improved traffic flow for commuters and freight alike, it’s estimated it will support up to 750 jobs during construction.” Community feedback on the concept

Well, for a start, I wouldn't sign off an email to a person you don't know as 'yours'. I mean, you're not mine, are you? There's a fair degree of intimacy suggested in that sign off, or else a bit of laziness due to hacking off the 'sincerely' or 'faithfully'. It's a good question though, and one that I already spend far too much time thinking about, so thank you for extending my convoluted ruminations. Do we have to reply with a kiss 'x', if that is how the sender has signed off? Are sign offs such as 'cheers' far more suited to time spent around a beer keg than the end of an email letting you know your sales report is overdue? Recently I read a delightful letter penned from an upset young girl to her family, which she had taped to her closed bedroom door. It was signed off, with wisdom and acuity beyond her years, 'Unhappy regards'. I suggested to her mother that I was tempted to sign off on all correspondence in this way, and then added a few more suggestions: Sincerely disappointed; Cheerless; Unkind regards; Yours unfaithfully. Her mother added a few more: Sincerely someone else's; Without love; Disapprovingly. Now surely these are far more appropriate for correspondence relating to unpaid bills, updates to terms of service, relationship breakdowns, and bonus Flybuys points notifications, among other examples. Or you could just go with some obnoxious Latin phrase that gives people false hope and visions of grandeur. Carpe diem, Jasminda. design, environmental assessment and EIS is invited until 5pm on Tuesday 14 December. For more information or to view and comment on the concept design and REF, visit http://nswroads. work/hexhamportal.

Unregistered Trail Bikes

By Tara CAMPBELL

OVER the weekend, officers from Port StephensHunter Police District conducted a proactive operation targeting unregistered trail bikes on roads and road-related areas within the district. Operation Tea ran last weekend in areas including Rutherford, Telarah, Woodberry, Chisholm and Raymond Terrace and Medowie. The operation was assisted by officers from the Newcastle City Police District and Hunter Valley Police District, and involved various specialist teams including trail bike operatives, the Proactive Crime Team, Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, and the Crime Prevention Unit. During the operation, fifteen Traffic Infringement Notices (TIN) were issued, and three people were charged with six offences. One motorist had their licence suspended and another was issued a Court Attendance Notice for driving whilst their licence was disqualified.

media@newsofthearea.com.au

Three people were issued infringement notices by Hunter Water for trespassing on Hunter Water land. Police conducted fifteen roadside breath tests, with one returning a positive indication for the presence of alcohol. Further, two stolen motor vehicles and one motorbike were also seized and will undergo further examination. Port Stephens – Hunter Police District Commander, Superintendent Chad Gillies, said that the community can expect these operations to continue in future. “Riding unregistered trail bikes, especially in a reckless manner, is a serious offence and puts the rider and community at risk. “When riders are detected breaking the law, police will take appropriate action by issuing infringements, charges, suspending licences and seizing bikes,” Superintendent Gillies said.

Julia Redlich told News Of The Area, “Christmas in July is now a welcome addition to our calendar, keenly anticipated by members of Fingal Bay Probus Club. “No prizes for guessing what stopped it this year! “Undeterred, Vicki and John Archer, the dining-out experts, watched four months go by before their well-laid plans could go ahead. “And what fun it was.” The Fingal Bay Probus Club usually meets at the Fingal Bay Sports Club and the Christmas In July that was held in November was enjoyed at the same venue. Fingal Bay Sports Club had beautifully decorated tables (bon-bons, chocolates and ribbons of course) and there was a special separate one featuring Santa, snowmen and other seasonal specials. “Paper hats were immediately worn, treats pocketed and slips of paper with witty jokes bringing groans and laughs.” The Sports Club’s chef and his team provided traditional fare to relish, served with skill

and good humour, as well as wine or the option of a soft drink.

New Strategy For Cycling In National Parks By Marian SAMPSON

IT’s no secret that Australians under COVID-19 have rediscovered the joys of cycling as a sport. In an effort to suitably cater to cyclists the National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is calling all cyclists to have their say on a draft cycling strategy so national parks can provide some of the best cycling experiences anywhere in the country. Environment Minister Matt Kean said with more and more people taking to two wheels and with investment in NPWS visitor infrastructure at record levels, NSW’s Parks network

will become must-do destinations for riders of all ages. “We are in the middle of a bike boom and there is now no better place to jump on two wheels than in our National Parks, it’s a great way to experience and see our natural biodiversity first hand,” said Mr Kean. “But the key is to make sure it’s sustainable and sensitive to the environment, we don’t want to see damage to our precious biodiversity and cultural heritage. “Cyclists love the great outdoors and we want to work with them to incorporate their ideas on how to ‘tread’ lightly and

move forward with this strategy.” The NPWS is asking for feedback on a new cycling strategy that outlines how to balance the demand for a variety of cycling experiences with our responsibility to protect national parks’ natural and cultural values. Not all cycling activities will be appropriate in all national parks, unauthorised tracks in parks can be dangerous and this draft strategy looks at how to manage illegal tracks to prevent further ecological or cultural damage. As part of ongoing community consultation, NPWS is calling on cyclists,

mountain biking associations and other interest groups to help shape the strategy and

Championship was decided last week at Soldiers Point Bowling Club before an

enthusiastic crowd. The Final was between Billy Ahoy's team of Adam Chaffey, Mark Sheppard and Daniel Clarke and Warren Shipley's team of Mick Beesley, Shane Soper and Matt Johnstone. In a closely fought encounter, the scores were level after sixteen ends after Shipley's team led early in the game. However, four shots on the following end gave Ahoy's team the initiative and they went on to win 23 shots to 18. Congratulations also go to the winners of the Men's Minor

Pairs, Les Lantry and Eric Pedder who defeated Graham Carter and Don Hutchinson in a close game after Graham and Don had a strong early lead. The next championships to be decided will be the Mixed Pairs and Men's Minor Singles followed by the Men's Consistency Singles. New bowlers are welcome at Soldiers Point Bowling Club where free coaching is available so as to compete in the challenging sport- contact Terry Antram, Bowls Director, on 49827173

Grins on the Greens at Karuah By Trevor DAVIES

FROWNS have been all the go on the faces of Karuah Bowlers over the last few months as bowling came to a dead halt. First the Covid lockdown and then the annual maintenance of their green saw their bowlers frustrated and edgy at not being able to bowl at all. Thursday last, there were grins all over the green at Karuah as the RSL Bowling Club reopened for competition. “I’ll tell you this for nowt (He is of northern English origins), it feels right super to be bowling again,” President Jim Healey said 30 bowlers were efficiently formed at the club into 14 teams of pairs (there were a few subs) to play on seven of the eight available rinks. Trevor Barclay, the Club's senior bowler, put the first bowl down, right onto the jack. In an effort to let the lush new grass harden a bit for the expected wear it’ll get over the next twelve months, play didn’t start until 3PM on Thursday. In pleasant conditions, the bowlers enjoyed the afternoon game in good light with the comp winding up after 5PM. Stephen Gilchrist, the bowls secretary declared “The social bowlers came in droves and it was great to see a full green after such a long break, well done to Leon Post our Green Keeper.” With a later start many players stayed for a delicious dinner at the Club afterwards. Karuah RSL and it’s bowlers always welcome newcomers with visitors and new bowlers are always made to feel at home. Informal gala comps will be held Tuesdays and Thursdays, names in by 2:30 for a 3:00PM start for the next month. See you at Karuah.
