By Marian SAMPSON FOR some in Port Stephens the news that the Council elections are being postponed yet again will be a blow. To others a windfall. The Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock MP has postponed the NSW Council elections until 4 December 2021. A NSW Government Gazette dated 24 July 2021, stated, “I, the Hon. Shelley Hancock MP, Minister for Local Government, in pursuance of section 318C of the Local Government Act 1993 ("the Act"), do hereby revoke the Order made on 26 June 2020 which postponed the election requirements of the Act for all councils in New South Wales to 4 September 2021.

Currently the land zoning of the area is deemed RU-2 Rural Landscape which allows a helipad which is ‘not open to the public’ but at this stage prohibits a public heliport.

With the postponement of the vote the election requirements of the Act are suspended for the period specified in the order and current councillors will continue to hold their civic offices. Popularly elected mayors will continue to hold their office until an ordinary election is held. The dates for enrolling to vote have shifted and all electors enrolled for federal and state elections at 6pm Monday, 25 October 2021 will be included on the roll and entitled to vote at the 2021 Local Government elections. Voting is compulsory.
For voters knowing your status and how to vote is important. iVote will also be available and operate in the same way it does for state elections. Additionally, the existing eligibility criteria for those able to use postal voting has been expanded to include: permanent or temporary residents in a hospital, nursing home, retirement village or similar facility; anyone selfisolating because of COVID-19 related reasons; and anyone who reasonably believes attending a polling place on election day will pose a risk to their health or safety of
themselves or those around them, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. You can check your enrolment online at the NSW Electoral Commission. You can also register for SMS notifications for when you are required to vote. In Port Stephens your vote could be one which endorses high rise in foreshore areas and townships or one which supports building sporting facilities. It could be one which improves amenity and pathways or one that delivers environmental outcomes. Voting is not a chore, it is a right in which we should be proud to partake.
all residents are being asked to get the jab. ATAGI states, “Maximal protection requires two doses of vaccine, but even a single dose of either vaccine provides substantial protection (by more than 70%) against hospitalisation. “A single dose of COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca partially reduces transmission by around half and therefore may also
benefit close contacts and the community. “It should be noted that there is a delay of 2-3 weeks after receiving a first dose of vaccine and being protected from COVID-19.” Over 3.5 million doses of COVID-19 vaccinations have now been administered in Australia.

By Marian SAMPSON
AS the numbers of cases of COVID-19’s Delta strain increase in Sydney and Melbourne, no new cases have been seen in Port Stephens or the Myall Coast. However, exposure sites have crept into Wallsend and Thornton. We, like all communities are at risk through freight movements. A pop-up COVID-19 testing clinic for freight workers has been placed on the Pacific Highway at Taree and there are more of these pop-up testing sites planned to help keep communities safe. The Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI), who advise the Minister for Health on the National Immunisation Program (NIP) and other immunisation issues, have changed their advice around vaccination stating that, “All individuals aged 18 years and above in greater Sydney, including adults under 60 years of age, should strongly consider getting vaccinated with any available vaccine including COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca.

“This is on the basis of the increasing risk of COVID-19 and ongoing constraints of Comirnaty (Pfizer) supplies. “In addition, people in areas where outbreaks are occurring can receive the second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine 4 to 8 weeks after the first dose, rather than the usual 12 weeks, to bring forward optimal protection.” For those in regional areas, vaccination is considered key and

Just after 5am on Monday 26 June, emergency services were called to the blaze on a series of units on Fullerton street and quickly extinguished the fire. Derek Speck, Duty Commander for Fire and Rescue NSW Lake Macquarie and Newcastle told News Of The Area, “One person in unit one was found to be deceased and one person in unit three was evacuated by firefighters. “Units one, two and three were severely damaged by fire,” Commander Speck said.

Cyber Crime By Marian SAMPSON

THE pandemic has seen Australians isolated, lonely and vulnerable to cyber attacks. Cybercriminals are targeting Australians at an unprecedented level to steal sensitive information and money, including through business email compromise and ransomware attacks. Launching the next stage of the ‘Act Now Stay Secure’ cyber security campaign, Assistant Minister for Defence, the Hon Andrew Hastie MP, said the consequences of cybercrime can be catastrophic for businesses, families, and individuals. “In the 12 months to 30 June this year, around 4,600 reports of business email compromise have been made to the Australian Cyber Security Centre. “Of these, around a third reported financial losses totalling approximately $81 million,” Assistant Minister Hastie said. “Email is a very common tool for the delivery of ransomware attacks, with phishing messages sent to potential victims containing malicious links or attachments. “Compromised email accounts can also be used
by cybercriminals to send fraudulent emails to the business’ customers, or steal sensitive information leading to the victim being blackmailed.” Business email compromise occurs when criminals exploit trust by impersonating employees or companies through email to fraudulently obtain money or goods. “A business or individual who has their email account compromised or targeted by scammers and cybercriminals could suffer catastrophic financial losses through scams or ransomware. “There are things everyone can and should be doing to protect themselves and their email accounts – use complex passwords and multifactor authentication, back up your data and keep a copy off-line, and don’t click on suspicious links. “As part of the ‘Act Now Stay Secure’ campaign, the Australian Cyber Security Centre has released new email security guides to help prevent email compromise, and advice to help victims recover from an email attack,” Assistant Minister Hastie said. “There are also easy stepby-step guides on securing your

A number of different threats use email for their success, including malware, phishing and different types of scams. Social engineering makes it harder to spot malicious emails.

Cybercriminals are putting more time, effort and money towards researching targets to learn names, titles, responsibilities, and any personal information they can find. Afterwards, they usually call or send an email with a made up but believable story designed to convince the person to give them certain information. Social media accounts provide rich information such as events, conferences and travel destinations, which can be used to make an approach seem real and accurate.

No More Plastic Toys At Coles Checkouts By Marian SAMPSON
PLASTIC: it’s in our foods, our waterways, it is killing our wildlife and is one of this century's biggest environmental issues. Yet, for far too long, plastic has been used for cheap promotions and throw away disposable implements. Children’s toys are heavy on plastic these days and now, the era of a plastic giveaway at the supermarket checkout to promote loyalty is seemingly coming to an end. In its Together to Zero commitment Coles has launched a National Sustainability campaign committing to no longer give away plastic collectible toys. As part of its ambition to be Australia’s most sustainable supermarket, Coles Group is launching a national campaign that brings to life and celebrates its recently launched Sustainability Strategy under the pillars of ‘Together to Zero’ and ‘Better Together’. Commencing Sunday 25 July, the campaign highlights Coles’ aspiration towards zero waste, zero emissions and zero hunger. Having recently stopped selling singleuse plastic tableware, Coles has also reviewed the sustainability of its marketing campaigns and has today committed to no longer give away plastic collectible toys.
Coles Chief Marketing Officer Lisa Ronson said while collectible toy programs like Little Shop and Stikeez have been popular with customers in the past, they no longer align with Coles’ sustainability ambitions or with customers’ preferences and priorities. “Coles has been in the lives and homes of Australians for more than 100 years and our unique position in Australia comes with responsibility,” Ms Ronson said. “As part of our Together to Zero mission, we’ve been reviewing our marketing campaigns through a sustainability lens. “While very popular, we must listen to our customers who say their priorities are changing. “We are proud to be now using our marketing platforms to raise awareness of our sustainability ambition which is focussed on acting together now for generations of Australians ahead. “We are committed to innovating when it comes to packaging so that where we can’t eliminate packaging and plastic, we are ensuring it’s

11-year window for Olympic hopefuls
q Nelson Bay Hockey juniors can now aspire to a home advantage at the Brisbane 2032 Olympics.
AN 11 year window for training exists for athletes to participate in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics. Australian Sports Commission (ASC) Chair Josephine Sukkar says an extended 11-year runway to the Brisbane 2032 Games provides an incredible opportunity to unite the nation through sport. The ASC, comprising Sport Australia and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS), welcomes the International Olympic Committee’s decision to award the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics to Brisbane. Nelson Bay Hockey Club is very excited that Australia is hosting the 2032 Olympics. Lindsay Brown of the Nelson Bay Hockey Club told News Of The Area, “As a small club we have a high success rate of developing our kids so they can go on and achieve success at State level. “We are hopeful that some of our current juniors will be competing in 2032. "Our C graders are just the right age to take to the field as a hockey player when the 2032 Olympics are held, Hockey NSW has some great pathways that ensure that anyone who has the potential and the willingness to put in the hard work can achieve their dreams of playing for Australia. “Everyone at the Club is already really excited to be watching Kate Jenner compete at the Tokyo Olympics. “Kate has been providing training for our kids as our

"We can't wait to see some of our home grown kids stepping up and competing at the Olympics in 2032!" Port Stephens Little Athletics runner Shari Hurdman told News Of The Area, “It would be really cool to have the Olympics in our own country where all our friends and family can come and watch. “It will be good not having to travel so far. “I’ll be 25 then and I aim to be at my peak so I can race to my full ability. “This is definitely something I will be working towards, as well at the Los Angeles Olympics in 2028. “I just have to keep training hard.” It will be the third time Australia hosts the Games, but this will be by far the longest lead-up. Sydney was announced as host in 1993, seven years before the 2000 Games. Ms Sukkar of the Australian Sports Commission said, “When you consider how successful Sydney 2000 was and how those Games still carry an enormous legacy today, the extended build-up to Brisbane 2032 is an incredible opportunity to again unite Australia through sport. “For a lucky few, competing in Brisbane will represent an opportunity of a lifetime. “All of us, however, can
benefit from the positive influence of a home Games if we embrace it. “We must take advantage of the laser-like focus hosting a home Games presents us. It is a chance to drive sport participation, re-invigorate volunteering, elevate our inspiring sporting heroes and continue building our vision for sustainable success across Australian sport. “There is a golden decade of major sporting events on home soil ahead, with World Cups or World Championships locked in for basketball, cricket, football, and netball, to name some. “Every sport needs to take advantage of this generational opportunity, to capture the hearts and minds of Australians. “We acknowledge the hard work of all that have contributed to this successful Brisbane 2032 bid, including the Australian Government, Queensland Government, Australian Olympic
Committee and Paralympics Australia.” AIS CEO Peter Conde said the AIS, along with the National Institute Network, National Sporting Organisations and other high performance partners, had already set strong foundations for a united push towards Brisbane 2032. “Teamwork can be Australian sport’s greatest strength in the build-up to Brisbane 2032,” Mr Conde
said. Sport Australia Acting CEO Rob Dalton said the Brisbane 2032 announcement would intensify the focus on growing participation and volunteering numbers. “Equally there has never been a more important time to focus on our volunteers, who continue to provide the heartbeat of Australian sport. “Our work is well
underway to modernise and improve the experience for sport volunteers to ensure that anyone who wants to be involved in sport can easily find opportunities and roles to suit them. “Brisbane 2032 may be 11 years away, but we will continue working hard with sports every day so that all Australians have the opportunity to connect with sport and this global event,” Mr Dalton said.
for the Hunter Region Hollie Hughes said, “By providing the right economic conditions for manufacturers to secure further investment opportunities and realise their
potential, the Government is also building Australia’s global competitiveness and creating new local jobs in the Hunter Region.” This co-funded grant
includes financial and in-kind contributions matched by Energy Renaissance for a total project value of $1.48 million. With the additional funding, Energy Renaissance will accelerate the development of scalable process, and procedures from a 2,700 square metre pilot facility in Tomago. Funding from this grant will allow rapid testing and the development of a scalable, manufacturing line and trained workforce that will inform the technology, systems and processes for Renaissance One, Energy Renaissance’s permanent, purpose built, 4,400 square metres battery manufacturing facility in Tomago that is slated for completion in February 2022. Brian Craighead, Technology and Development Director of Energy Renaissance said, “AMGC has played a strategic role by supporting Energy Renaissance with a seed
funding round last year that went towards the design and prototyping of our superStorage battery. “The new funding injection from AMGC will now help us to scale-up towards commercial production and accelerate our ability to manufacture batteries faster. This is a win for Australia, our economy and workforce as we ascend the stage to become a global battery manufacturing powerhouse.” Energy Renaissance manufactures Australian made batteries that are safe, secure, affordable and optimised to perform in hot climates. These batteries will power stationary (grid and microgrid, renewables, community storage, mining electrification, Defence SilentWatch applications) and transport (buses, light commercial and industrial vehicles) applications.

Tomago Clean Energy Business Gets Funded By Marian SAMPSON
BATTERIES are big in the future of clean energy and local businesses are at the front of the race to manufacture them here in Australia. Port Stephens based Energy Renaissance Pty Limited has received $525,072 to scale up production of its lithium-ion battery energy storage system (‘BESS’) technology for use in hot-climate markets such as Australian and Asia. The Morrison Government is supporting Australian manufacturers with $7.1 million in funding to help them commercialise innovative products and take them to the world. Under tranches two and three of the Government’s $30 million Commercialisation Fund, 15 ground-breaking projects have received backing, including production of lithium-ion battery energy storage system technology, and a handheld onfarm analysis tool to check the nutritional values of produce.
Thursday, 29 July 2021
Energy Renaissance is building a plant at Tomago which will be making batteries at the cutting edge of technology.
Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Christian Porter said the Commercialisation Fund supports Australian manufacturers to take their valuable innovations through the commercialisation phase and unlock new economic opportunities both at home and abroad. “These grants will enable companies to undertake further research and development activities, improve engineering and design elements and invest in new technologies so they can scale up operations and bring their products to market,” Minister Porter said.

Be Wildlife Aware On Our Roads By Alice HENNEN IT’S clear that wildlife and cars don’t mix. One only has to look for the often unrecognisable carcasses of what were once kangaroos and possums by the side of the road to see the impact that traffic can wreak on our local native animals. Wildlife In Need of Care (WINC) volunteer Ryan Ashpole was called out to Myall Street, Tea Gardens at 9:30 pm on 19 July to attend to a male kangaroo which appeared to have been hit by a car. Unfortunately, by the time Mr Ashpole arrived at the scene, the kangaroo had already died from his injuries.
“As I was looking over him I could not see any visible broken bones or blood from him or from a big hit from a car,” he reported. “That doesn’t mean he was not hit from [sic] a car.” “If someone was speeding they would have had to slam on the brakes and I could not see any tyre marks on the road.” “Again this doesn’t mean that he didn’t get hit from [sic] a car.” Motorists are urged to look out for wildlife and to be aware when driving at dawn and dusk, as these are times when kangaroos and other wildlife are most active. If a driver hits a kangaroo or other animal, Mr Ashpole advises to call a wildlife rescue organisation such as WINC and they will be on the scene to help the creature.

dingoes could be of help. In response to a number of reports about locals and visitors feeding dingoes, MidCoast Council is renewing its plea for members of the Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest communities, as well as visitors to the area, to refrain from feeding/interacting with dingoes. “It’s really disappointing that we find ourselves back in this situation, such a short time after serious action had to be taken as a result of these types of interactions,” said Mat Bell, Council’s Senior Ecologist. It is only a matter of months since Council culled a group of dingoes which were deemed dangerous. Council, together with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Services and Hunter Local Land Services, took lethal control to manage the escalating risks to community safety from a pack of subadult dingoes that had been involved in a spate of incidents with people and domestic pets. These dingoes were being
given access to human food in and around urban Hawks Nest. “We believe education is key and we would hate to see the need for control measures to be taken again. “While these people may think they’re helping the dingoes, they’re actually doing them a great disservice.” Council follows an adopted dingo management procedure that is a risk management model based on the successful program in place on Fraser Island. Mat explained that when dingoes are fed by humans they can lose their inherent shyness and fear of people and the territory that they occur in becomes worth aggressively defending. Sometimes within days, these animals can become highly territorial and exhibit increased aggression to domestic pets and people. "It's imperative that the community gets behind this important message and please, do not approach, encourage or feed the
dingoes. "We cannot have this continue, ultimately it's the dingoes that suffer," Mat added. Council has an online reporting form for members of the public to share information about interactions and incidents with dingoes, while Rangers have commenced issuing penalties to anyone caught ignoring Dingo Smart advice. “Our Rangers will be following up on reports of residents and visitors feeding dingoes. “The compliance also focuses on other actions that unreasonably permit dingo access to human food sources, such as where bins haven’t been secured properly and food scraps are easily accessible,” said Mat. "We're continuing to work closely with experts from Taronga Zoo and the University of NSW to increase understanding of the dingoes in our region but we'll need the community to be advocates and lead by example to stop other community members

Don’t Feed The Dingoes! By Marian SAMPSON
DINGOES on the Mid North Coast are at risk and it’s the members of the community that are feeding them that are doing the greatest harm. Local dingo advocate Jen Parker is angry that people are continuing to do the wrong thing around the local dingo population. Jen has been working for over 40 years to create better outcomes for the dingo which is Australia’s Apex predator. Jen has worked alongside Queensland National Parks on Fraser Island and Midcoast Council to help create signage that works to educate the public in relation to dingoes. She told News Of The Area, “It is not the dingoes fault - it is human error – dingoes don’t need to be fed. “Dingoes are naturally lean and are quite capable of finding their own food source.” She is keen to see the community better educated and believes that a leaflet to all households outlining the do’s and don’ts around

This would catalyse the electrification of global hard rock mines, and deliver
emission reduction, safety, and productivity outcomes. This funding supports projects within the Government’s six National Manufacturing Priorities: Medical Products; Food and Beverage; Resources Technology and Critical Minerals Processing; Recycling and Clean Energy; Defence; and Space. Grants are between $100,000 and $1 million, with funding to make up no more than 50% of the total project costs.

and tourists from feeding and approaching dingoes too. “Interestingly, a common excuse we hear from people who have been caught feeding the dingoes is that they did it because the dingo looked skinny and malnourished,” added Mat. “Dingoes are naturally very lean animals and they’re also expert hunters, they’re not meant to look like a domestic pet and they are
highly capable of looking after themselves.” Council has begun installing more warning signs around the area and a staged compliance approach is underway which incorporates education, warnings and then enforcement.

GEORGE Reserve in Salamander Bay is the latest Port Stephens park to receive a freshen-up, with Council installing new amenities and new play equipment. Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer says the improvements will make a big difference for users. “George Reserve may be small but it’s very popular with locals including young families and it’s not hard to see why – the view over the port is spectacular,” Mayor Palmer said. “To make this space even better for users, we’re installing a new swing set for the kids and new pathways to improve access to and from the playground. “This is particularly helpful for people using mobility aids, parents with prams or kids on bikes and
scooters. “We’re also installing new inclusive amenities and a beach shower, which will be a big upgrade on the current facilities. “We want to encourage more people to get outside, get active and enjoy our beautiful surroundings – these upgrades are one way we can do that,” he said. Former Salamander Bay Rotary President Ina George has been committed to sourcing funds to upgrade and restore the park for the community. “George Reserve in Salamander Bay is an iconic waterfront park with spectacular views to the Tomaree Headlands. “The reserve is named after my husband’s late uncle Herbert George – a member of Port Stephens Council over
50 years ago – and I wanted to revitalise the neglected park and bring it back to life. “This park has been visited by thousands of people throughout the years and

Liberal Patron Senator for the Hunter Region, Hollie Hughes, said “Road crashes place major emotional and economic strains on all affected communities but particularly the families and friends of the victims. “I am pleased to see these six important projects in the Hunter Region will be delivered under the 2021–22 funding round.”
“None of these projects would be delivered without the community’s vital input and I encourage all residents and motorists in the region to nominate projects for future funding rounds.” The Deputy Prime Minister said, “By specifically targeting road locations with a history or risk of crashes for safety upgrades such as lighting, signage, traffic lights and roundabouts, the Black Spot Program reduces crashes causing injury and death at those sites by around 30 per cent.” Assistant Minister for Road Safety and Freight Transport Scott Buchholz said the 97 Black Spot
projects across New South Wales would make an important contribution towards reducing serious injuries and deaths in NSW and built on previous investments in the state. “This new funding will see total investment through the Black Spot Program in NSW rise to $292.2 million, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to improving road safety.” The Australian Government has committed a record $1.1 billion to the Black Spot Program from 2013–14 to 2023–24 to improve road safety across the nation.

Works are funded by the Australian Government’s
Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program phase 2 and PS2020 funds. Construction of the new amenities is expected to take 12 weeks for completion. There will be no public amenities available during this time. For more information about this and other projects in Port Stephens, visit portstephens.nsw.gov.au/ projects.

A pantry for all
www.newsofthearea.com.au
SOMETIMES empathy and doing just a little bit more than required changes an entire community. The Little Free Pantry is a grassroots, crowdsourced solution to immediate and local needs in the Stockton community. Tucked away from the weather in the picnic shelter near Lynn Oval, the pantry stores food and items of need, and is available 24/7 for anyone in need in the community. The creator of Stockton’s Little Free Pantry, Rachel Towns, spoke to News Of The
Area about what the project means to her. “Little Free Pantry Stockton provides a dignified and practical way for people to donate and access foods and information on services without judgement. “The Little Free Pantry idea developed when I was caring for a patient in the Psychiatric Emergency Care Centre. “It went straight to my heart when I realised that during a really terrifying time at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the patient’s only possession was a list of places to go for free meals,” she said. After looking into the list
and realising that there were no initiatives in the Stockton Community, Rachel continued researching before stumbling onto the American incentive ‘The Little Street Pantry’ and so Stockton’s location was created. Set up just over a year ago, Rachel chose not to advertise the pantry to minimise shame attached to need, hoping that word of mouth would be enough. It wasn’t long until Priscilla Chapman reached out and is now a pivotal part of the Pantry. “Priscilla supplies the Little Free Pantry with resources to connect people
in need with vital services and support in our community area. “She has sourced grocery donations from big name supermarkets and even secured a supply of delicious nutrition bars and tee shirts from ‘KIND’ endorsed,” Rachel said. The pantry is now supported by a number of community members who donate a range of items. “Whether a need for food or a need to give, Little Free Pantries help feed neighbours, nourishing neighbourhoods. “Little Free Pantry Stockton is not an organisation,” she said. For those wishing to donate to the pantry, consider non-perishables and hygiene, first aid and health supplies.
AS COVID-19 cases have surged across the nation, so too has sexual abuse and sexual assault of children and young people, cites Kids Helpline. Kids Helpline, a service of yourtown for children and young people aged 5 to 25, reports an increase of 49% nationally in sexual abuse by family members over the past 6 months from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 when compared to the same period in 2020 of young people making contact with counsellors. “Kids Helpline answered
210 additional contacts in the first six months of 2021 (a total of 662) from children and young people raising the issue of being sexually exploited by family members. “A total of 452 contacts were responded to in the same time period in 2020,” said yourtown CEO Tracy Adams. “Child sexual abuse can take place behind closed doors. “The COVID-19 pandemic has affected daily life through restrictions on people’s movements and interactions, potentially limiting opportunities for child abuse
to be detected and reported. “It is uncomfortable to think children are being sexually abused by those who have responsibility to care for them most, but Kids Helpline statistics for the past 6 months highlight the vulnerabilities children have in their own homes,” continued Ms Adams. A breakdown by State of Sexual Abuse (Intra familial abuse/Incest) and Sexual Assault (classified as being external to the family) for the period 1 January to 30 June 2021 vs the same period in 2020 is as follows.
● Victoria has had an increase of 70% in contacts from children and young people making contact with counsellors about sexual abuse (intra familial abuse) and an increase of 19% for reports of sexual assault (classified as being external to the family) ● New South Wales has had an increase of 49% in contacts from children and young people making contact with counsellors about sexual abuse and an increase of 43% for reports of sexual assault ● Queensland has

STUDENTS around Port Stephens continue to have their efforts rewarded through the Positive Behaviour and Learning Program. The program highlights rewarding safety, trust and honesty, acting responsibly and respect for success and involves nine local schools. The breakfast club at Irrawang High School provides essential meals for students that would otherwise miss out. Hot toast and Milo, juice, and a chance to eat with others is provided at the school for every student that may not get a meal at home. Liam Bennett has been nominated for PBL for his efforts in helping to make the breakfast club available. He volunteers from 7am every Tuesday to help his fellow students. Logan Ackling of Salt Ash Public School was nominated because has given up his weekend to sell raffle tickets to raise money to help the motor neuron disease charity Fight MND. Meanwhile, being helpful and compassionate to other students saw Tia Richens of Seaham Public School, Astra Barrett of Raymond Terrace Public School, Miriah-Rose Saunders of Karuah Public School, Angus Vaughan of Medowie Public School, Edith Thornton of Grahamstown Public School and Xanthiah Roach of Hunter River High School nominated. Aneika Trappel of Irrawang Public School was nominated for her honesty in handing in a valuable piece of jewellery. All of these students should be applauded for their values.

Parliamentary inquiry into pandemic management
A NSW parliamentary inquiry has been restarted to explore the circumstances of the latest COVID-19 outbreak and its management by the state government – including the handling of restriction and lockdown measures, and how the pandemic will be managed in the future. In view of the recent outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in NSW, the Upper House Public Accountability Committee has recommenced its COVID inquiry, which first began in early 2020. It will be holding further hearings into the following issues: • The circumstances and the cause of the recent outbreak of COVID-19 • How the quarantine and transport protocols in place prior to the recent outbreak were assessed and set • Lessons learnt from the transportation of Fed Ex workers • The steps that have now been taken to ensure that such an outbreak cannot happen again, including any changes to state and national health, quarantine or transport protocols since the outbreak • The nature and content of the health advice relating to the imposition of additional restrictions and lockdown,
and the timing of such additional restrictions and lockdown • The future management of the COVID-19 pandemic. Commenting on the recommencement of the inquiry, the Chair of the committee, Mr David Shoebridge MLC, observed, "The latest COVID-19 outbreak is a public health and economic crisis. The committee is looking for cooperation from the government to understand the circumstances of the outbreak and the steps that have been taken to ensure that it does not happen again." "Whilst the committee is exceedingly mindful of not diverting government efforts and resources from containing and suppressing the outbreak, there remains an important and ongoing role for the Parliament in keeping the government accountable for its actions in response to the recent outbreak. The government must be scrutinised for decision-making at this critical juncture." The committee will be seeking the cooperation of the Minister for Health and Medical Research, the Hon Brad Hazzard MP, and the Chief Health Officer, Dr Kerry Chant PSM, to appear and give evidence on these important matters before the Legislative Council sits again, currently scheduled for 10 August 2021.

When it comes to saucy TV shows on Aussie television, perhaps Love Island, Bachelor in Paradise or even Outlander might spring to mind… but tonight it’s chef Adam Liaw who’ll leave viewers wanting more. He’s joined in the kitchen by radio personality Yumi Stynes and Benjamin Law (The Family Law), who are showcasing their favourite sauces. If the pair’s earlier appearances are anything to go by, the condiments conjured up in this episode are sure to be tasty, simple and the perfect accompaniment for any dish.
They say that it’s what’s on the inside that counts, and the surprising connections between the geeky guys and gorgeous gals on this Lego Masters-meets-Love Island reality series really have proven that. But let’s be honest, all viewers really want to see is what potential lurks behind the geeks’ Star Wars T-shirts and overgrown beards. As such, Nine have cleverly stretched the series’ makeovers over three Sunday night specials. Tonight, the pairs take on a public challenge, providing the half-time entertainment at the footy.

Christmas In July By Marian SAMPSON
SANTA was on call for a very special Christmas in July lunch held by the Tomaree Ladies Probus Club. Julie McAlister, Publicity Officer of the Tomaree Ladies
Probus Club, told News Of the Area, “Tick Tick! “A recent very happy Christmas in July local Luncheon at Sienna’s for Tomaree Ladies Probus Club was a great success and especially for the morale of
members and their partners after so many cancelled outings in these pandemic times.” The event was organised by the very capable wine and dine officer, Marilyn Jennings. “The Club members

enjoyed the two course Christmas fare, trivia quizzes and lucky plate numbers with numerous prizes provided by the Committee. “Despite the outdoor heaters, it was a freezing day for those seated on the
two overflow long tables yet spirits were not dampened and warm toasts were made that there may be many more enjoyable get togethers,” she said. If you wish to join this club and enjoy warm
friendship, interesting speakers, future trips and luncheons, please contact President Daphne Smith on 4982 0097 or Secretary Denise Clark on 4981 1151 for more information.
step to postpone the election to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our communities, voters, polling staff and candidates.” The NSW Government has worked with the Electoral Commission and NSW Health to implement a comprehensive plan to allow voters to cast their ballot safely in person, by post or
online. iVote (electronic voting) will also be available for the first time in the local council elections and the NSW Government has implemented changes to prepoll to ensure that voters have 13 days to cast their ballot, reducing congestion on polling day. The NSW Government
has made available a total of $57 million for the elections in 2021, including $37 million to deliver them in a COVID safe way. In this election, 5.2 million voters will cast their ballots as around 5,000 candidates vie for 1,200 councillor positions across 125 local councils.
Karuah To Meet Candidates In November By Marian SAMPSON
HOT on the heels of the announcement to change the date of the NSW Council elections, the Meet the Candidates meeting set for August 4 in Karuah has been postponed. Fred McInerney of the Karuah Progress Association told News Of The Area that
he “hopes that the meeting will be rescheduled in November to precede the new NSW Council election date of 4 December 2021”. Minister for Local Government Shelley Hancock said the decision, after extensive consultation with and advice from the NSW Electoral Commission and NSW Health, has been made
in response to the COVID-19 situation. “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and current Public Health Orders impacting Greater Sydney, we have made the difficult decision to postpone the Local Government elections until later this year,” Mrs Hancock said. “We have taken this

OPEN HOUSE VERSUS PRIVATE INSPECTIONS
The other day I was putting my husband’s socks and underwear away and I came across a fingerless net glove in his drawer. It isn’t mine.
“Is an Open House Event or Private Inspection best?” BOTH are strong. OHI’s are advantageous with set dates/ timesadvertised in advance giving vendors and buyers ample preparation time. They open the property up to the widest possible market from locals to further afield, and those keen to buy, but not necessarily motivated enough to commit to a private inspection. They’re practical too as your Agent can show large numbers through at once, freeing you from individual, often short notice requests. On the downside anyone at all can attend. Additionally, multiple visitors prevent your Agent devoting individual time to a prospective buyer. Also, an attendee who may choose to loudly voice their negative opinion isn’t helpful. PI’scan be more flexibly scheduled; unforeseen circumstances allowing for a reschedule. Your Agent has the opportunity to screen buyers to better determine their level of interest and ability to purchase. Importantly, your Agent can devote their attention to the buyer and build a relationship. Conversely, PI’s can be time-consuming and invasive for vendors. Location: rural or suburban also plays a role in deciding. You deserve a premium result and R&R works closely with every vendor onwhich method will achieve that.

Ten Covid-safe things to do in Port Stephens this weekend OPINION
WITH the Greater Sydney area still in lockdown, Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer is putting the call out to locals from the Hunter and beyond to head to Port Stephens for a covid-safe weekend. Mr Palmer said that while Port Stephens is traditionally a summer destination, there is still plenty to do during the cooler months. “Port Stephens is an easy drive for Hunter locals and with Sydney in lockdown, it is a great option for a day trip or weekend stay. “Most of our neighbours throughout the Hunter can finish work, pack a bag and be here in time for dinner. “Our local businesses have their covidsafe plans in place and are ready to welcome visitors. “Whether you are up for an adventure, are bringing the family or need a few days away with your partner to just chill out, Port Stephens is perfect for a short break. “With Dine and Discover vouchers extended until the end of August, there are plenty of budget friendly ideas to keep everyone busy.” C NOTA Graphics- Ref: R&RDH_2972021NEINA Here are Mr Palmer's top ten covid-safe things to do in Port Stephens this weekend. For adventurers 10. Got a 4WD? Get yourself a beach permit and head to Birubi Beach. Pack a picnic, a beanie and your camera. The rolling dunes are spectacular and the drive from Birubi Beach to Stockton Beach is a great way to fill in the day. Especially if you stop along the way to check out Tin City, a game of beach cricket or to stretch your legs with a walk over the dunes. 9. If you don’t have a 4WD but still want to experience the dunes, there are plenty of options – 4WD tours, camel rides, sandboarding or quad bikes. Head to the visitor information centre at Nelson Bay q Mayor Ryan Palmer has given some or jump online to find out all the tips to enjoy Port Stephens in the winter.

options. 8. Feeling brave? There are plenty of scuba diving schools ready to explore the Port Stephens Marine Park and the upside is there is no wind chill under water! For families 7. Make the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary your base for the weekend in one of the awesome glamping tents. Meet the local resident koalas, walk the Newcastle Airport skywalk and learn all about our favourite Aussie animal. If you want more wildlife encounters, drop into Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters and the amazing Oakvale Wildlife Park. 6. Put on your sneakers and head to Tanilba Bay to see if you can spot any koalas in the wild. There is a fantastic walk along the waterfront and this is known koala habitat. Check out the Tilligerry Habitat website for all the details. 5. Grab the camera and head to Boat Harbour for a bit of whale watching. There is some climbing over rocks involved, so sturdy shoes and a jacket are a must. For couples 4. Grab your golf clubs for a leisurely 18 holes or a visit to the driving range. There are plenty of golfing options available for all levels of ability. 3. Have a long lunch or dinner. There are plenty of waterfront options available but if you prefer a riverside option head for Raymond Terrace or Karuah. If a cosy country pub is more your scene, then Hinton is the place for you. 2. Walk the waterfront. Start at Apex Park in Nelson Bay and follow the footpath west over the hill. There is a footpath pretty much the whole way to the Anchorage, when you get there you can reward yourself with a drink or a bite to eat before tackling the return journey. If you arrive at Apex Park between 1pm and 3pm, kick back and enjoy the live music. For everyone 1. Head through Shoal Bay and take on the Tomaree Headland Walk. It is a bit of a hike to the top but the view when you get there is spectacular.

Dear Mrs DP,
Mrs DP
Okay, now let’s not jump to conclusions here. A fingerless net glove conjures all sorts of difficultto-explain scenarios, but this could be entirely innocent. You know, maybe he had to do a role play in his marketing job, and he was given the card that required him to wear suspenders, gloves and a masquerade mask, because the company was testing the market on a new range of . . . um . . . Or maybe he was watching the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and just, you know, getting involved in the ‘Don’t Dream It, Be It’ sequence. No? Okay, maybe he was doing an experiment, like, ‘Do mosquitoes penetrate body netting?’, because he is going to patent a new range of pesticide-free mosquito products. If he had bites on his fingertips, but not the rest of his fingers, he could be onto something. No? Maybe he just likes fingerless net gloves, and who are we to question that, Mrs DP from Lemon Tree Passage, because with that very long road into Lemon Tree, sometimes you need a bit of amusement. Things can get a bit boring on that straight stretch. I wouldn’t be too worried. I’m more concerned that you are still putting away your husband’s socks and underwear. Do you iron them? Do you fold them in neat Marie Kondo space-saving combinations? Do you colourcoordinate? Does he have the days of the week on his socks and undies? This is 2019, you know. Let him put his own things away and then you’ll be none the wiser. Carpe diem Jasminda Keep in mind some of the path is quite narrow, so take a mask in your pocket just in case. When you are done, visit Shoal Bay for food, drinks and ice-cream

q The Soldiers Point team of Shipley, Clarke and Antram.
WATCHED by a large crowd, the final of the Zone Men’s Bowls Triples was played at Soldiers Point Bowling Club last weekend. In one semi-final, the Nelson Bay Team of Richard Girvan, Jake Graham and Chris Edmonds beat a strong Raymond Terrace Team to qualify for the final. The other semi-final was won by the Soldiers Point Team of Terry Antram, Daniel Clarke and Warren Shipley. The final resulted in high quality bowls being played by both teams with Soldiers Point proving too strong with a 24 shots to 14 win. The team will now progress to the State Finals. Congratulations also go to the two Soldiers Point teams qualifying for the Zone Final of the over 60's Triples held at Wallsend. The team of Michael Beesley, Bill Ahoy and Mark Sheppard beat the team of Chris Ramage, Trevor Sager and Barry Brennan in a close encounter. New bowlers are welcome at Soldiers Point Bowling Club where they can receive free coaching so as to compete in this challenging sport, contact Terry Antram on 49827137.
