The banner poles already in place along West St, Umina, with a similar design expected to be used in Ettalong and Woy Woy CBDs

Gosford Council will liaise with both the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and Ettalong Beach Business Group about the location banner poles in Ettalong and Woy Woy town centres.

Council has also resolved to meet with the two groups and gain their commitment to provide banners once the new poles are installed.

Last December, a disagreement occurred between the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and Umina District Chamber of Commerce over what banners would feature in West St, Umina.

In the end, Umina Chamber erected its banners in West St in conjunction with the inaugural Umina Festival and the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce fl ew its banners at Ettalong.

Funding for the project costing $70,000 will come from funds remaining from the Financial Strategy levied in the two CBDs, according to a council report.

The issue of having additional banner poles erected in Ettalong and Woy Woy came from a

question without notice from Cr Jeff Strickson earlier this year.

Cr Strickson questioned the feasibility of having additional banner poles installed on the Peninsula for Christmas time this year to ensure all Chambers of Commerce could have their respective banner fl own.

Council will now look to trial a combination of banner poles, known as Bannerconda and Bannerjib systems, in Ettalong and Woy Woy in time for Christmas this year.

Each pole is expected to cost between $1600 and $2000.

“In view of the need to advance this project in time for the erection of banners for Christmas 2010, and assuming council wishes to proceed with this trial project as recommended, options for the placement of banners could be discussed with the relevant business community groups in Ettalong Beach and Woy Woy and subject to agreement being reached, the work proceed,” a council report stated.

Council to liaise on banner poles

Buses will run more frequently and into the night and a new service to Gosford Hospital will be introduced from November 8.

They are among the changes to the Central Coast bus network announced by the State Government recently.

Bus services to and from Umina will have improved frequencies and hours of operation.

The daytime service between the Peninsula and Gosford Hospital will run every 60 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays and 120 minutes on Sundays.

Across the network an additional

41 buses will be provided to Central Coast bus commuters increasing the entire region’s fl eet by 20 per cent, according to NSW Premier Ms Kristina Keneally.

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews said the announcement was a signifi cant boost for the region.

“The new seven-day a week bus service between the Woy Woy Peninsula and Gosford Hospital is a great win for the local community,” Ms Andrews said.

“Passengers will also benefi t from the fl exibility of the new services that will not only run more frequently, but also until late at night.”

Minister for Transport and Minister for the Central Coast Mr John Robertson said the new network followed extensive public consultation with the local community.

“More than 1400 submissions were received from local residents and public transport users about the proposed changes,” Mr Robertson said.

“We have listened to the feedback from the community and the fi nal network announced today has incorporated many of the requests made during the consultation process.”

Gosford Council has resolved to investigate the formation of a Peninsula Master Planning Committee with key stakeholders, business leaders and property owners to ensure the revitalisation of the three Peninsula town centres.

A notice of motion was put forward by Cr Jim Macfadyen at a council meeting on October 5.

The proposal comes after the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce called for council to form a special committee to secure the economic sustainability of Woy Woy, Umina and Ettalong town centres.

“It has come to my attention that the poor economic conditions prevailing particularly in the

Woy Woy CBD are such that urgent action by council would be prudent with the view to investigating ways that council, the

Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, business leaders and property owners can stimulate economic activity,” Cr Macfadyen said.

“The timing for such action is opportune especially as the draft Gosford LEP 2009 and accompanying development controls are being reviewed.

“These controls include specifi c planning and design recommendations for the Peninsula town centres of Woy Woy, Umina Beach and Ettalong Beach.

“It is noted that Chapter 4.2 – Peninsula Centres especially deals (in part) with the Umina Village Expansion Area – Structure Plan which resulted from consultation with the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce several years ago.

“Similar consultations should be held as part of the master planning process for the Woy Woy CBD.

“The Peninsula Master Planning Committee could consist of

senior council technical staff, the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, business leaders and key property owners with the view to working collaboratively with these groups.

“Its aim should be to address the strategic economic issues facing the Peninsula generally and, more specifi cally for the Woy Woy CBD, ways to stimulate activity and promote connections between Deepwater Plaza, the traditional town centre and the Woy Woy waterfront.”

Cr Macfadyen said considerable focus had been set on Gosford CBD in recent times.

“It would be prudent of council to now direct planning and economic resources to the Peninsula such that the Peninsula town centres have similar growth opportunities to that of Gosford,” Cr Macfadyen said.

Woy Woy

An unsecured gate that fl ew loose from a moving freight train almost hit commuters at Woy Woy station earlier this year, a report by the NSW Offi ce of Transport Safety Investigations has revealed.

The incident occurred at around 11.45am on April 11, when a Pacifi c National freight train was travelling through Woy Woy station and an unsecured gate on a container became detached after hitting the fencing at the southern end of platform one before striking another fence on the end of platform two, according to the report.

“The gate skidded across the platform for approximately 20 metres before smashing a seating bay glass windbreak panel and coming to rest on the platform,” the report stated.

“The dislodged gate narrowly missed striking members of the public waiting on the platform but, despite a number of people being showered with broken glass, only one person suffered minor injuries.”

The investigation found that the gate became detached from the container because its “locking pins had dislodged from their retaining lugs and it was not adequately restrained from swinging laterally out of gauge”.

The report stated that two transport agencies were involved in transporting the container from where it was loaded at the Melbourne Freight Terminal and to where it was transferred onto a railway wagon.

“At no stage was it identifi ed that the side gates of the container were not secured in accordance with the performance standards recommended in the National Transport Commission’s Load Restraint Guide – Second Edition 2004,” the report stated.

This was despite roll-by inspections occurring at Uranquinty, Junee, Goulburn, Chullora and Cowan.

The investigation also found that a number of inspections had failed to spot the gate, despite CCTV footage showing it open and swinging at 7.02am at Bundanoon, 8.57am at Casula, 10.43am at Eastwood, 11.22am at Cowan and 11.32am at Hawkesbury River before the accident occurred at Woy Woy.

The agency has recommended the introduction of pre-departure inspections of all road transport to ensure that the loading complies with the appropriate performance standards as well as ensuring that any load delivered by another agency that requires on forwarding not be accepted unless it complies

with performance standards.Pacifi c National conducted an

internal investigation and proposed its own 16 safety actions to prevent any further incidents.

The Offi ce of Transport Safety Investigations is an independent NSW agency that aims to improve transport safety through the investigation of accidents and incidents in the rail, bus and ferry industries.

The agency’s investigations are independent of regulatory, operator or other external entities.

The Boulevarde Woy Woy

Gosford Council cannot waive parking fi nes because of a contract it has entered with the State Debt Recovery Offi ce, according to a report presented to the council.

The Recovery Offi ce could do so in some circumstances, but these did not include those resulting from construction of the Woy Woy Commuter Car Park extension, according to the report.

Nor did provisions for “exceptional or extraordinary circumstances” cover the situation.

Councillors had called for the report after a petition with 600 signatures was tabled in Council in June.

Figures released by the State Debt Recovery Offi ce showed a 50 per cent increase in the number of parking fi nes issued in Woy Woy between May last year and April this year.

The month of April recorded 180 parking fi nes alone around the time the commuter car park was closed and commuters forced to park in a reduced number of car parking allocated for the area during construction.

The report prepared by council staff stated: “Due to the contract arrangements with SDRO, council has a standard work practice that has been in place for a number of years that if any verbal or written request is received to waive a fi ne, then the person is directed to contact the SDRO.

“If the SDRO receives a written submission that is outside the SDRO Review Guideline, it may write to council to seek council’s view on any exceptional or extraordinary circumstances.”

The report listed 20 extenuating and exceptional circumstances

including a broken down vehicle, medical emergency, deceased person, 10-year clear driving record provided the offence did not occur within a school zone or no previous cautions had been given as well as the sale or transfer of vehicle ownership in addition to other circumstances.

The report stated that the only provision to allow council to withdraw fi nes was if council were to receive a request in writing to review the penalty notice for it to be withdrawn if it fell within a number of specifi c conditions, which did not apply in this case.

These conditions included a mistake in identity, the person to whom the penalty notice was issued has an intellectual disability, a mental illness, a cognitive impairment or is homeless, an offi cial caution should have been given instead of a penalty notice, or having regard to the relevant guidelines under section 19A.

“In summary, the Act enables the court, SDRO and an agency such as council the opportunity to withdraw a penalty notice if a written submission is received,” the report stated.

“Notwithstanding that the Act enables an agency such as council to withdraw a penalty notice upon receipt of a written submission as mentioned above council has entered into a contract with SDRO who handles all of council’s requests for consideration of waiving a penalty notice.”

The issue was introduced by Cr Terri Latella at a council meeting in early June where she tabled more than 600 signatures criticising the availability of parking in the area since construction had began in April.

Gosford Council will write to the Minister of Lands in an attempt to ensure commercial rent is not charged by his department for Crown land upon which local surf clubs are built.

The Killcare surf club could face an immediate increase of $12,000 a year if the State Government’s proposal to charge commercial rent goes ahead.

Gosford Council constructed three surf club buildings at Umina, Ocean Beach and Killcare, offering them 20-year leases with a subsidised rent.

As Killcare and Umina surf club buildings are on Crown reserves, with council the reserve trust manager, they are allowed to lease the premises subject to the agreement of the Minister for Lands.

Umina surf club has a fi xed rent agreement until 2017.

Council will submit a case to justify its current rent discount for Killcare surf club to the Land and Property Management Authority in an attempt to save the club from paying commercial rent.

If its submission is rejected, council will review alternative rent proposals for lease of Crown land to the clubs.

Council has now proposed to lease Killcare surf club 15 years from April next year at $3000 per annum.

Current market rent has been assessed at $15,000 per annum for Killcare requiring a $12,000 subsidy by council.

Council resolved in 2008, to

have the difference between the actual rent and market rent be shown as a donation to Killcare surf club.

Council has now resolved to write to the Minister for Lands seeking support for the appropriate level of lease fees for surf clubs on Crown land, given the voluntary status and contribution they make to the community.

“In order to satisfy the concerns of the LPMA relating to the rebate of the rent, it is intended to inform the LPMA that council supports the vital community work carried out by various community group members, including surf life saving club members,” according to a council report.

“The rent is subsidised by council because charging of market rent may cause the clubs diffi culty to meet that commitment and result in reduced services by club members to the community.

“Thus, any reduction in the service provided may need to be substituted for by council paid life guards.

“The rent subsidy should be retained for all surf life saving clubs on council land or Crown reserves managed by council.

“This shows the general public council’s appreciation for the community work carried out by groups like surf life saving clubs.

“The benefi t to the community outweighs the subsidy.”

However, the Land and Property Management Authority advised council that: “All reserve Trusts should be mindful of ways to ensure the long term sustainability of reserves under their management.”

“The draft document does not provide any justifi cation to a rebate of 95 per cent.

“As previously advised, currently the Authority’s community rebate

is capped at a maximum of 50 per cent.

“Justifi cation for the 95 per cent rebate is requested to allow the lease to be approved.

“On the proviso that the issues are addressed, approval will be given for a 15 year lease term.”

Meanwhile, deputy mayor Cr Craig Doyle said the situation could best be described as “bureaucracy gone mad”.

“Commercial rent for volunteers. This is nuts,” Cr Doyle said.

“This proposal needs to be killed off immediately by the Minister of Lands.”

Liberal candidate for the state seat of Gosford Cr Chris Holstein said council had shown its full support of local surf clubs when it completed the surf club rejuvenation project.

Dogs and cats can be registered at Gosford Council’s customer service centre in Woy Woy during an amnesty period until November 30.

Pet owners must microchip and register their dogs and cats or face a $165.

During the amnesty, the council hopes to encourage local residents to voluntarily register and microchip their pets.

Council’s manager of education and compliance Mr John Parkes said pet registration was a two-part process where cats and dogs needed to be microchipped by a vet at three-months-old and be lifetime registered by council at six-months-old.

From December 1, normal penalties starting from $165 for non-compliance will apply, according to Mr Parkes.

Under the Companion Animals Regulation 2008, lifetime registration of cats and dogs costs $40 for a desexed cat or dog, $150 for an undesexed cat or dog, $40 for an undesexed cat or dog owned by a registered breeder and $15 for a desexed cat or dog owned by a eligible pensioner, Mr Parkes said.

Around 10,000 spectators are expected to watch the annual Davistown Putt Putt Regatta and Wooden Boat Festival on Sunday, October 24.

The festival will feature the Regatta and Putt Putt Challenge with 60 craft taking a course including several areas around the

Peninsula including St Hubert’s Island, Daley’s Point, Woy Woy channel and Pelican Island.

Event coordinator Mr Darren Isaacs said the event was sure to be an enjoyable day out for all the family.

“The course provides the opportunity to view those craft participating in the Challenge or the main event when entrants will pass Woy Woy and Lions Park from between about 10.30am and midday.”

Mr Isaacs said he had received expressions of interest from putt putt and wooden boat owners as far north as Nambour and Tweed

Heads and as far south to Narooma as well as Canberra, Bathurst and Mudgee.

“Feedback from visitors and participants from last year’s event indicates that the Davistown Putt Putt Regatta and Wooden Boat Festival Inc has fi rmly established itself as one of the premier wooden boat festivals and this year is shaping up as one of the major tourist draw cards on the Central Coast,” Mr Isaacs said.

The October long weekend saw the offi cial start of the boating season with NSW Maritime carrying out 45 vessel on-water safety checks in the Hawkesbury and Broken Bay area.

According to NSW Maritime fi gures, only one formal warning was given to local boat users from October 2 to 4 and no infringement notices.

Marine Rescue Central Coast publicity offi cer Mr Ron Cole reminded local boat users to check all safety equipment on board before heading out on Brisbane Water this boating season.

Mr Cole said it was important for all boat owners to ensure they had all the necessary safety equipment as NSW Maritime Boating Safety Offi cers would continue to be out in

full force over the coming weeks.NSW Maritime general manager

of maritime operations Mr Howard Glenn said offi cers would specifi cally target compliance with lifejacket and powerboat driver licence requirements.

“Failure to comply with boating safety equipment requirements is serious because it could put lives at risk,” Mr Glenn said.

“On-the-spot fi nes apply for non compliance.”

“There will be a focus on the responsibility of the skipper, as well as the need for an appropriate lifejacket to be on hand and accessible for each and every person on board.”

The Hardy’s Bay Residents Group is working with Gosford Council to identify traffi c risk hotspots and implement an appropriate road management plan, according to group publicity offi cer Mr Allan Wilson.

He said concerns had been expressed over the increased number of traffi c incidents on the Bouddi Peninsula.

“The marked increase in traffi c fl ow, particularly in holiday periods, is providing a serious problem in this area due mainly to the general narrowness of the roads and a lack of turning opportunities.”

Mr Wilson said the latest traffi c incident occurred over the recent October long weekend when increased traffi c was seen in the area.

“When a small car almost overturned on a shoulder of the road and was precariously balanced

with two wheels on the Araluen Dr surface and two dangling on the sandbank a metre below road level, it was yet another statistic in a chapter of recent traffi c incidents which have occurred in downtown Hardy’s Bay,” Mr Wilson said.

“The ‘near miss’ closely follows an accident in the same vicinity adjacent to the Killcare Marina when a young girl, walking with her parents, sustained a broken leg when struck by a car on the narrow, winding thoroughfare.

“It was an unfortunate situation

due to the circumstances, with little or no footpath access, and, reportedly, all reasonable care taken.

“In the case of the ‘balancing car’, a local tow truck operator used his ingenuity to rescue the vehicle before the high tide by attaching some chains and virtually bullying the vehicle back onto Araluen Dr.

“His actions were highly praised by the car’s owner.”

Police are seeking information about the assault of a 52-year-old woman who sustained head lacerations and a fractured wrist during a home invasion in Booker Bay on September 27.

The woman was injured after a masked man broke into her home and assaulted her with a crow bar at around 8.30pm.

The woman was home alone at her residence in Booker Bay Rd when a man wearing a balaclava opened the front door and walked inside the house, according to police.

The man, who was armed with a crow bar, struck the woman before

stealing an amount of cash from her purse and fl eeing the scene.

The woman’s husband returned home to fi nd his wife on the fl oor bleeding from several deep lacerations to the front and rear of her head.

Police canvassed residents of the area and investigations into the assault are continuing.

Anyone who was in the area of Booker Bay Rd between 7:30pm and 8:30pm on Monday, September 27, and who saw or heard anything suspicious is urged to contact Gosford Police via Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

With my eight-plus decades of life on this evidently stable planet, I have come to the realisation that the old always tend to declare their children’s behaviour as unacceptable.

The “over-burdened” planet has successfully outlived all doomsday predictions of population

explosions, earthquakes and fi res.Unfortunately, in some people,

old age implies lack of wisdom ... and fi rm belief and hope for the ultimate doomsday. A deplorable condition.

Busways is a company contacted to NSW Government to provide a subsidised bus service to the community as an essential part of the public transport system.

Busways has sold advertising space on buses to gain an extra stream of revenue.

The placement of commercial advertising degrades the appearance of the buses.

It is an insult to the dignity of passengers and reduces enjoyment of bus travel.

The advertising is visual pollution of the environment exploiting members of the public as a captive audience in public streets.

The duties of bus drivers should be restricted to providing safe and effi cient transport of passengers.

They should not be conscripted by stealth into the service of the advertising industry to drive billboards on wheels around the town.

Resentment of this graffi ti on buses might expose drivers to hostility they don’t deserve.

Common decency and respect for the rights of passengers and the public interest demands the removal of commercial advertising from buses.

It is exciting to see that Peninsula Law is making such a positive effort towards sustainability.

They are certainly setting the bar very high.

It’s interesting too that they were able to make a deal with the electricity provider so that they will

have paid for their solar panels within fi ve years.

It would be wonderful if more businesses on the Peninsula could do likewise.

There are plenty of large roof spaces just waiting to be used for generation of solar electricity.

At a time when we are warned that electricity costs are to keep on rising, it’s amazing that all business people are not trying to cut their costs simply by generating their own power.

A simple way to save power would of course be to follow the example of the Japanese Government which legislated a few years ago that all air conditioning in businesses and offi ce blocks should be re-adjusted, so that people could dress according to the weather instead of having to wear a cardigan inside in summer and summer clothes in winter.

This is a chance for the Peninsula to show leadership to the entire shire.

Ed James is to be congratulated on keeping your readers well informed on the many problems affecting the local population on the Peninsula.

One issue is the ever present threat of rockfall on the Umina and Pearl Beach point.

With regard to rock access to Pearl Beach from Umina, and the subsequent and questionable

recent work undertaken by council, which may, or may not, fi x further rock falls, but certainly does nothing to solve the access problems for the residents of Pearl Beach.

Engineers can do anything and it has already been done by the Lake Macquarie Council in a very similar situation with a really remarkable

and successful structure, a coastal walk, now pulling the tourists by the busloads.

It would be good indeed if the appropriate Gosford council offi cers could take time to investigate how a similar walkway could be used at Umina Point and also a wharf for a fast ferry and room for car parking and a bus terminal.

Cityrail have done it again.I was one of the supporters who

went to Sydney for the grand fi nal and, encouraged by the price of train travel, took the train from Woy Woy to Strathfi eld.

To my amazement, CityRail had allocated the 11.58am a four-car set.

That’s right: a four-car set on grand fi nal day in school holidays.

It was that packed with footy fans and school holidayers you

couldn’t even walk down the aisle to get to the toilet.

And it was no different on the way home.

We got the train about 9.30pm from Strathfi eld to be greeted with another packed four-car set that stopped at all stations.

Can you believe it?Our trains to the Central Coast

now provide the all stations service between Hornsby and Gosford.

I was the person with my nose pressed against the window while you addressed the Labor Party faithful at Ourimbah after the very ordinary community cabinet meeting on October 30.

Your government should be ashamed to have removed the very important public forum where your constituents could be heard to ask the extremely diffi cult questions and sometimes hear them answered.

I know from fi rsthand experience that your work product as Premier is crap Kristine.

After ten years, I am comfortable identifying your Labor Government as an aggregation of gutless time servers unwilling to take action on my years of published allegations.

I believe they fear the consequences of exposing members of the Labor Party to adverse consideration by the voting public in the court of public opinion.

The Offi ce of Premier and Cabinet is long overdue to consider the failings of successive Ministers of the Planning Ministry, including yourself, Premier Keneally.

Under your watch, we found out about enormous land bribes, not money as such, but certainly able to be identifi ed as bribes by the Land and Environment Court.

That sort of bad political behaviour on your part as planning Minister, is in step with the way the Minister for Local Government, currently Barbara Perry, conducts herself on behalf of her NSW constituents.

She in fact told the General Manager of Canterbury City Council she did not want to be written in on the fi ndings of the Deputy State Ombudsman when the matter of Magda Mallone v Canterbury City Council was to be concluded.

Council was found to be malfeasant in its

management of Council matters in respect of Magda Malone’s battle with the owners of a block of fl ats built in the base of a quarry, issues which I understand have been brought to the attention of members of the Offi ce of Premier and Cabinet.

Premier Keneally, is it naive of me to believe that our elected representatives, people like you Premier, would exercise your infl uence in the best interest of your constituents?

Reliance on plausible deniability as a political tool is offensive to honest people, when it is used to disenfranchise constituents if they attempt to exercise their political rights to be represented by honest politicians.

There is no doubt Premier Keneally, Peninsula News readers, which include members of the two parties not much preferred and thousands of other political allsorts, are reading my advertisements and looking at my photo journalism.

I may be ageing and my father has died waiting on his elected representatives to allow him the protection which he fought for.

We are all of us entitled to that protection which fl ows from the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act 1901.

My often repeated published allegations identifying Gosford Council as corrupt have never been publicly challenged or even debated by your government or the corrupt Gosford City Council itself for that matter.

Members of the two parties not much preferred are clearly comfortable working in a corrupt environment and with politicians publicly identifi ed by me as liars.

Gosford City Council mislead the Coroner when they allowed him to understand they

(council) had no knowledge or experience in the use of application of concrete to protect the structural integrity of corrugated steel culvert pipes.

It is long overdue Premier Keneally for you to open your eyes and ears to my years of published allegations and for your party members to start asking how is it possible for anyone, let alone Mr James, to be making and publishing allegations of systemic corruption and cover-up for almost a decade and no one has been called to make a public accounting of their actions and inactions.

My readers understand that I explained to our fi rst law offi cer, John Hatzistergos back in September and I now explain the same to you, since you asked to be judged.

I have identifi ed what I can prove to be systemic corruption because I understand there is no statute of limitations on the legal pursuit of corruption allegations in another place.

But I identify the substance of my allegations collectively as political sins against the peoples.

While Ministers like you Premier may exercise the prerogative to do bugger all, I can only continue to challenge the credibility of all politicians who insist on accommodating systemic corruption by doing nothing when their constituents come to them with legitimate conserns.

Local charity Mary Macs Place is testament to the goodwill of the Peninsula community, to its generous spirit and high level of participation, according to new project coordinator Ms Christine Burge.

“Since I have commenced my time with the service I have been impressed by how much Mary Mac’s Place is regarded as a vital part of the Peninsula community,” Ms Burge said.

She said the service would not be possible without the support of volunteers, businesses and residents who help out in various ways

“Recently wonderful donations have been received from a variety of local organisations such as the residents of Deepwater Court, the students of St Patricks College, Ettalong Baptist Church, Hope Church, Woy Woy Country Women’s Association, Rotary Club of Umina, IGA Ettalong and Woy Woy Lions.

“Apart from the fantastic volunteers who donate their time and energy there are also many individuals within our community who donate to Mary Mac’s Place anonymously.

“One local community member brings in oranges on a regular basis while others have requested that donations be made to Mary Mac’s Place in memory of recently deceased relatives.

“It is wonderful to see so many people in our community thinking of others.

“There are a variety of local businesses who regularly donate excess foodstuffs.

“This year grants have been received from Everglades Country Club, Ettalong Bowling Club and Ettalong Memorial Club as part of the Community Development Support Grants.”

Ms Burge said that while the appreciation and admiration for the community’s support was overwhelming the need for the service was increasing each week.

“Mary Mac’s Place volunteers prepare and serve over 1800 nutritious, hot meals each month to homeless and disadvantaged men, women and children in a warm and welcoming environment,” Ms Burge said.

“The volunteers at Mary Mac’s Place also provide information and referrals to other community services.

“Many more individuals and families are fi nding it diffi cult to make ends meet each week and the need for the service provided by Mary Mac’s Place increases each week.

“For many people in our community Mary Mac’s Place provides a welcoming respite from the problems they experience in their lives.”

If you would like to support Mary Mac’s Place, contact Christine Burge on 4341 0584 or 0417 671 973.

A Umina father has organised a charity fundraising dinner for the Care Flight Rescue Helicopter after his three-year-old son was assisted by the air medical service team earlier this year.

Mr Andrew Moss said he believes his son Reuben would not be alive today if it wasn’t for Care Flight’s swift response and treatment.

“On June 12, this year, a three-year-old boy was hit by a car on West St, Umina Beach, and that boy was my son, Reuben,” Mr Moss said.

“That accident has impacted on not only my life, but many other

lives as well.“Through the outstanding efforts

of the community and emergency services – police, ambulance and Care Flight – on the night, Reuben received outstanding care.

“Despite his injuries he has made an incredible recovery.”

Mr Moss said the Care Flight team took just 15 minutes to arrive at Ocean Beach Surf Club carrying the charity’s specialist trauma doctor, intensive care medical equipment and an ambulance paramedic.

“The CareFlight Rapid Response Trauma Team is a groundbreaking, world-class unit,” Mr Moss said.

“Without their help, Reuben’s

road to recovery would have been a lot longer.”

To raise awareness and vital fi nancial support for Care Flight, Mr Moss has organised a gala charity dinner with the help of his local church Good News Church.

The event will be held on Saturday, November 13, at Ocean Beach Surf Club from 7pm.

Special guest speaker on the night will be Peter Irvine, co-founder of Gloria Jeans’ Coffee.

Guests will enjoy a sit-down two course meal and live entertainment from a big brass band while having the chance to bid for various items at an auction.

Tickets are $52, which includes a $20 donation to Care Flight, and can only be ordered online from the Care Flight website at www.carefl ight.org

Not-for-profi t community group Health Connections will run its second course to help people improve their health and wellbeing.

Getting Clear is an eight-week course that will be held at St Andrew’s Anglican Church Hall in Umina from October 21.

“Much disease and disability can be prevented and reversed as they are caused by our Western diet and lifestyle – for example, obesity, heart disease and diabetes,” course presenter Ms Shirley Hotchkiss said.

“In non-Western cultures that follow a traditional diet and lifestyle, these diseases are rare, and people live long, healthy and productive lives.

“But our typical medical approach of treating symptoms with drugs stops us using our natural healing abilities.

“Also, we stop using our commonsense as these profi t-based industries encourage us to give up responsibility for our health.

“They promote the idea that disability and disease are inevitable, a normal part of growing older.

“People often don’t know they can make changes to improve their health.

“For example, a plant-based diet clears blocked arteries and reverses diabetes.

“In Getting Clear, people will learn skills to reduce stress, clarify thinking, heal emotions, support others unconditionally and take charge of their lives.

“In this way, they discover a range of health options to explore.

“People can have fun and grow, in a positive, supportive environment.”

The eight-week course will run on Thursday evenings from 6.30pm

to 8.30pm starting on October 21 and ending on December 9.

St Andrews Anglican Church Hall is located at 360 Ocean Beach Rd, Umina Beach.

Course fees are $15 per night or $100 payable the fi rst night.

A daytime course is also possible on request.

Enquiries are welcome and bookings essential to [email protected] or phone 4341 9301.

Woy Woy Hospital will fall under the Central Coast Local Health Network, one of 17 new health regions announced recently by the State Government.

The new Network is expected to operate from January 1 and will include Gosford and Wyong hospitals as well as Long Jetty Health Care Facility.

Under the plan, the Central Coast will no longer be included as part of Northern Sydney’s health service.

The new networks will replace the eight current Area Health Services and will have their own budgets, management and

accountabilities within their local areas.

They will be administered by a chief executive and governing council that includes local clinicians, health and health care management experts and community representatives.

Shadow Minister for the Central Coast Mr Chris Hartcher has welcomed the change.

He said the current Area Health system was “a disaster”, with Labor MPs defending it for years.

“I’m just happy they’ve seen the error of their ways.”

However, he feared Labor would try and fi ll the new Central Coast health board with Labor members and affi liates.

When the Central Coast health board last existed in 2004, a third of its members were Labor friends, affi liates and members, he said.

“It’s an old Labor tradition to fi ll boards, committees and advisory councils with ex-Labor politicians, senior Labor staff and factional allies you want to keep quiet.

“After 16 years of Labor neglect, Central Coast health services need revitalisation and repair.

“We cannot afford to have that process wrecked by meddling Labor MPs.”

Reliable and well-read

May I add my congratulations to Peninsula News on the occasion of its 250th edition.

As Federal Member from 1996 until 2007, I welcomed the creation of the Peninsula News in 1999.

The Peninsula area is such an important part of the Central Coast, with unique opportunities and challenges, and it was important to have a reliable and well-read local publication which focused directly on issues of importance to the residents of the Peninsula area.

I could always rely on the Peninsula News to print stories that were of interest and importance to the region and often their articles would generate signifi cant community debate, which provided important feedback

I wish the Peninsula News every continuing success in the future and I’m sure that as a community we will be able to watch this important local newspaper continue to grow for many many years to come.

At the time, it was clear as we stated in our fi rst edition, that “momentous things are happening on the Peninsula, all of which will have signifi cant effects on our lives”.

Some had already received publicity: The planned redevelopment of the Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club, the fast ferry proposal and the new cinema at Ettalong, and plans by Gosford Council to spend $8 million on a new community centre and theatre, a new youth club, redevelopment of the pool and streetscaping..

However, we felt that without our own newspaper, the Peninsula would not be fully informed. There was certainly enough to report.

We started out with plans to

be a 12-page monthly paper. By the start of 2001, the newspaper had grown to the point where we could justify publishing fortnightly. By 2004, Peninsula News was published regularly with full colour pictures.

Over the years, we reported on many developments on the Peninsula.

They included major retail building projects such as The Pavilion and the extension of Deepwater Plaza at Woy Woy, the Ettalong Hotel redevelopment, the Patonga Tavern and the recent Woolworths supermarket at Umina.

They have included projects at public facilities such as the dental clinic at Woy Woy hospital, new classrooms and facilities at Brisbane Water Secondary College, the railway station upgrade and the replacement of Housing Department houses with duplex villas.

There have been projects that have faced obstacles that have

meant they have not proceeded or that they have dragged on over a number of years. The Fast Ferry, the Ettalong Foreshore plan, the redevelopment of the Ettalong Beach War Memorial Club, and a proposed retirement village at Veron Rd, Woy Woy, are among them.

Gosford Council was not immune, as projects such as the redevelopment of the Woy Woy pool grew from a project of less than $2 million to one that was ultimately more than $20 million.

Peninsula News has followed changes to the character of the area, the appearance of speed cameras and of traffi c lights.

It has covered infrastructure issues: the collapse of the road at Bulls Hill; designs to address drainage through absorption pits as well as conventional means; of water quality and supply ith mains cleaning and groundwater extraction; as well as waste disposal as the limited life of the tip became evident.

Our policy has always been to keep our focus on activities occurring on the Peninsula, providing unrivalled comprehensive coverage.

Even during the newspaper war of 2002 and 2003 when the regional newspapers were published daily and even metropolitan papers had daily Central Coast inserts, Peninsula News was able to publish more news items about the Peninsula than all the other media combined.

When we started in 1999, we said: “The Peninsula News aims to inform the community of these vital developments, to provide a forum for discussion and to engender pride and involvement in our community.”

We have fulfi lled these aims for more than 11 years and are committed to continue to do so.

Peninsula News is unusual in that it is owned by a voluntary non-profi t community group, the Woy Woy Community Media Association Inc, and is run in conjunction with a commercial publisher, Ducks Crossing Publications.

Essentially, the association takes responsibility for the news content of the paper, while the publisher runs the commercial operation and produces the newspaper.

The association welcomes community involvement, both through voluntary participation in contributing to the news content of the paper, and through involvement in association activities, such as serving on the committee.

The newspaper was founded to give the community a voice and to serve its interests.

It was started at a time when coverage of the Peninsula in other media was often negative, based on police and court reports, and

when communicating with other sections of the local community was diffi cult.

The association was formed to ensure the newspaper was inclusive, helped develop a sense of community and promoted participation and pride in community achievements, at the same time as providing information and the opportunity for residents to have a voice in their community.

As well as appointing the newspaper’s voluntary editor,

the association maintains the associated website which contains an archive of items which have appeared in the newspaper.

Anyone interested in contributing to Peninsula News in a voluntary capacity or becoming involved in the association’s activities and its meetings is encouraged to inquire through the newspaper offi ce on 4325 7369.

After almost two decades, the Bouddi Peninsula community saw more than 200 residents and community stakeholders attend the offi cial opening of Pretty Beach Preschool on September 19.

Guests included Gosford mayor Cr Chris Holstein, Member for Terrigal Chris Hartcher, Cr Terri Latella and Community Services NSW representative Ms Shauna Walliker.

A welcome by president of the Pretty Beach Preschool Volunteer Management Committee Mr Angus Kell was followed by the Welcome to Country ceremony led by Aunty Barbara Grew of the Mingaletta Aboriginal Corporation.

Cr Holstein was joined by former president of the preschool committee Mr Hans Egger, preschool director Ms Kim Chippindale and architect Mr Milos Obradovic in giving speeches on the day.

“The sun shone on the celebrations and the delighted smiles on the faces of children really told the story,” preschool committee member Ms Helen Tinson said.

“The day kicked off with Naomi

Jones, a former Walsingham preschool student, and Elissa Koppen, both students from the Central Coast Conservatorium of Music, playing for the crowd of around 200 people that had gathered for the offi cial proceedings.

“Special presentations of Wollemi pines were made to several individuals who had played a key role in the project.

“The crowd of past and present preschoolers, their families, staff and committee members were then invited to look through the preschool building and grounds and enjoy an afternoon of entertainment.”

Members of the Hardy’s Bay Residents Group welcomed the new facility.

Group publicity offi cer Mr Allan Wilson said: “After the numerous tireless hours of work from staff, volunteer management committees and community members, the preschool realised its dream when, in May 2010, it commenced operations in a new, purpose-built preschool building.”

New classrooms at Woy Woy Public School are expected to be opened early next term, according to school principal Ms Ona Buckley.

Ms Buckley said the spacious and modern classrooms were originally expected to have been fi nished by the end of term three however minor delays had been experienced.

“We thought that they would be ready and we could have moved into them at the end of this term,” Ms Buckley said.

“However it will take a little longer to fi nish off details and I will be doing the hand over inspection during the holidays.

“Moving is set to take place on October 12, with much help from the building team themselves.”

Ms Buckley said six classes will move into the new classrooms once they have been completed.

“They will be the fi rst classes to experience these wonderful new learning environments,” Mc Buckley said.

“The two classroom special education unit will be ready too.”

The Latino Playgroup held at Beachside Family Centre has been benefi cial for local Spanish-speaking families and is steadily growing, according to coordinator Ms Susana Mostraj.

“Since we started in January this year, our playgroup has worked well,” Ms Mostraj said.

“We have a core group of adults and children who enjoy it very much, and who have benefi ted in many ways.

“Spanish-speaking parents and carers have been able to share language, culture and customs through stories, songs and games, as well as during unstructured play with the children.

“We encourage any Latino families with children up to six years of age to join us for the last term this year.”

The Latino Playgroup meets from 9.30am to 11am every Monday during school terms at the Beachside Family Centre in Sydney Ave, Umina, in the grounds of Umina Public School.

Killcare author and historian Dr Annette Gero will be guest speaker at The Bouddi Society’s next Afternoon by the Bay event later this month.

As one of Australia’s leading quilt historians, Dr Gero will make a presentation on Australia’s quilt heritage and social history at the Wagstaffe Hall from 2.30pm on Saturday, October 23.

Author of the recently published book The Fabric of Society, Australia’s Quilt Heritage from Convict Times to 1960, Dr Gero has lectured in the USA, Canada, France, Germany, England, Australia and New Zealand.

In 1986, she was elected a fellow of the Royal Society for the Arts in London in recognition of her work on Australian quilt history.

Dr Gero said her talk for the Bouddi Society would trace Australia’s rich and diverse heritage in patchwork quilts, refl ecting not only the quilts found in this country but also the social history of countless ordinary people; histories which otherwise would never have been written, each story includes the making of a quilt, rich in memories embedded in its cloth.

“Quilts were made by convict women, by Governors’ wives, Gold Rush immigrants, wealthy shop owners, WWI and WWII

diggers, people who lived during the Depression, rabbit trappers, and by mothers who made all their children’s clothes and never threw anything away,” Dr Gero said.

Dr Gero is recognised for her quilt collection and will display examples of quilts displayed in her book The Fabric of Society, with signed copies available for sale after the talk.

Participants are also encouraged to bring along their own old quilt or wagga rug to the talk.

The cost of the afternoon is $15 for non-members, $12 for Bouddi Society members and $5 for children (refreshments included).

The Bouddi Society will launch its book The Bouddi Peninsula: A Very Special Place just before Christmas.

The Society embarked on the project In 2007, capturing stories and images of people and places that are part of the history of the Bouddi Peninsula.

They include the Bouddi National Park and the suburbs of Killcare Heights, Killcare, Hardy’s Bay, Pretty Beach and Wagstaffe.

The project was launched at a special History-Making Day at Wagstaffe Hall when local residents contributed more than 200 photographs, a collection that rose during the next two years to 2000.

A team of more than 50 volunteer contributors and editors produced more than 100 stories and biographies of people and life on the Peninsula, culminating in the production of a DVD-CD entitled The Bouddi Peninsula: Voices and Images from a Colourful Past that

was released earlier this year.The book is designed to take

readers through the evolution of the Bouddi Peninsula and its marvellous National Park to what it is today, featuring the people, places, scenery and events that have shaped the area over the years.

Present day photographs have been added to the historical collection, many of them drawn from the remarkable photo library created by Killcare Heights resident Mr Manfred Gottschalk.

The 192-page publication includes 380 photographs and illustrations and will be available for $69 or $56 for Bouddi Society members.

A special pre-publication price of $50 is offered for orders placed before November 15.

To pre-purchase your copy of the book, contact Dianne Lewis for more information on 4360 1276 or visit www.bouddisociety.org.au.

The Bouddi Gallery in Killcare will display some of the handmade pieces discovered on a trip to Africa by Central Coast art collector Mr Mourad Nafti.

The Tunisian national recently returned to his homeland, a small coastal country situated on the Mediterranean coast midway between the Atlantic Ocean and the Nile Valley.

While there, Mr Nafti met the artisans who produce traditional crafts.

“The Bouddi Gallery in Killcare has some fi ne pieces from this trip such as hammam towels, handpainted ceramics, pouffes and woven furniture,” Mr Nafti said.

“All items are handmade and refl ect the diverse cultural background of Tunisia.

“We are attentive to the long term development and preservation of the traditional arts of Tunisia.

ASC Songwriters Assist will host a vocal workshop for songwriters at the Peninsula Community Centre next month.

The evening will be led by guest speaker and singer Ms Doreen Van Bree from 7.30pm on Thursday, November 11.

ASC Songwriters Assist president Ms Lisa Butler said the event would be a great opportunity for anyone thinking about or with a passion for song writing to help them get started.

“What does singing have to do with the art of song writing,” Ms Butler said.

“Whether you are performing or non-performing songwriter, you need to understand the vocal mechanism and how it works.

“Knowing how the vocal instrument is used to its best

advantage can help you create exciting and singable vocal melodies and optimal placement of certain vowel-sound woeds in your songs.”

The vocal workshop will run for around one hour followed by supper and a question and answer time with Ms Van Bree and Ms Butler about the voice and the process of creating melodies and lyrics that help the singer and the song “shine”.

The workshop costs $8 for ASCSA members and $15 for non-members, and includes supper.

Ms Van Bree has had a successful musical career appearing on Brian Henderson’s Bandstand several times in the 1960s and performing at clubs around NSW.

Agatha Christie’s Spider’s Web will be performed at the Peninsula Theatre from October 29 until November 14 and will be the fi nal play of the year for Woy Woy Little Theatre.

Woy Woy Little Theatre publicity offi cer Ms Patrice Horne said the prolifi c English “queen of crime” Dame Agatha Christie enjoyed a successful career that spanned over 50 years with her works now sold in the billions.

“Spider’s Web centres on Clarissa, an engaging young woman married to a diplomat in the foreign offi ce,” Ms Horne said.

“As a new-found step mother and away from London, Clarissa adjusts to her situation well, while confessing to spicing up her life with the odd tall tale and playing an ongoing game of, ‘supposing’, such as, ‘supposing I wake up one morning to fi nd a dead body in the library’.

“What happens when Clarissa’s supposing becomes fact and consequently she is torn between working with the truth or using her superlative story-telling skills to keep everyone out of trouble?”

Woy Woy Little Theatre productions are now online with Laycock St Theatre booking system and tickets are on sale now via the Laycock St Theatre box offi ce and website at www.laycockstreettheatre.com

“Patrons can also book at the Peninsula Theatre directly from October 18 between 10am and 2pm, Monday to Friday, or can click on the link on our website www.woywoylt.com.au to be directed to www.laycockstreettheatre.com for online ticketing.”

Ticket prices are $23 for adults, $20 for concessions and $6 for children aged 15 and under.

Woy Woy Little Theatre will hold two audition dates next month for Steve Martin’s The Underpants due to be performed early next year.

Written by Carl Sternheim in

1910 and adapted by comedian and actor Steve Martin, this is a farce that is full of laughs, according to Woy Woy Little Theatre’s publicity offi cer Ms Patrice Horne.

“The story focuses on Theobald Maske who has an unusual

problem: his wife’s underpants won’t stay on,” Ms Horne said.

“One Sunday morning they fall to her ankles right in the middle of town.

“Mortifi ed, Theo swears to keep her at home until she can fi nd some less unruly undies. “Meanwhile, he’s trying to rent a room in their fl at.

“The prospective lodgers have some underlying surprises of their own.”

Auditions will be held at the Peninsula Theatre on November 2 and 4 from 7.30pm.

Director Mr John Hickey requires fi ve men and two women aged from around 25 to 80 to fi ll various roles.

Audition material can be obtained from the Peninsula Theatre during box offi ce hours from October 18, or by calling 4341 2931 for further information.

Pink Ribbon Day volunteers are needed to help on the Cancer Council’s breast cancer awareness stall at Deepwater Plaza at the end

of the month.Volunteers are needed between

9am and 4.30pm on Thursday, October 21, to help sell Pink Ribbon Day merchandise with

funds raised going to breast cancer research, education and patient support services.

“Cancer Council looks for energetic volunteers to help out during October for breast cancer awareness month,” volunteer team leader Ms Vicki White of Umina said.

“Helping to sell Pink Ribbon products at one of our sites is simple, and can even be fun and inspirational.

“This year alone around 12,000 Australian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

“By selling our pink products or by buying a pink gift yourself, you can help us fi ght breast cancer.

“While survival rates have increased with recent breakthroughs, one in nine women still face a diagnosis by the age of 85 and will need our help and support.

“Your contribution can make a difference.

For more information or to volunteer, call the Helpline on 131 120.

Umina Beach - Open 7days

Umina’s Finest Tobacconist & Darrell Lea Chocolates

Umina Surf Lifesaving Club has won the Forster Weekend of Surf carnival for the second consecutive year.

Umina has been travelling to Forster for many years and has now won the trophy fi ve times surpassing the Lakes Surf Club’s previous record of four wins.

In testing conditions, members of Umina Surf Life Saving Club competed in the two-day carnival on the Mid-north Coast over the October long weekend.

There were 47 other NSW surf clubs in attendance and every year the numbers have been increasing due to the event’s popularity, according to club secretary Ms Christine Lavers.

“Due to dangerous surf, the water events were cancelled for many of the younger competitors so it was up to the Opens and

Masters to try even harder,” Ms Lavers said.

“The juniors were able to compete in the beach events and with their great results this gave Umina a comfortable lead of 150 points overall taking out fi rst place.

“If this is just a taste of what is to come for the start of the season, we hope with all the training and coaching during the off-season that these results carry through the summer months.

“This also proves that our dedicated lifesavers are ready in their fi tness for their patrol duties.”

On Saturday’s endurance iron person event, Umina started off the carnival with some great results with Teigan Miller taking our fi rst place in the Under-15s female event, Steve Murphy fi rst in the Over-30s male event followed by second places for Lachlan Braddish, Keisha Bovill,

Mick Magurran, Dave Gaffney and Kerry Armstrong in each of their respective races.

Rick Boylan, Craig Ballard and Bill Cook also did their local club proud by taking out third places in each of their races on the day while Helen Krucler achieved a fourth place in the Under-15s female event.

In Sunday’s age champion results from the best performers in all events, Shannon Addams and Harry Braddish were age champions in the Under-11s male category and Sidney Healey in the Under-11s female group.

Meanwhile Teigan Miller took out the Under-15s female division, Holly Spender the Over-30s female and Kerry Armstrong the Over-40s female category.

Umina wins surf carnival

First Woy Woy Sea Scouts are getting out on new adventures as part of Scout Australia’s new slogan “Be prepared for new adventure”.

Scout leader Mr Damien Stables said members were enjoying Cuboree and Jamboree events as well as water activities, construction, camping, and the new experiences they are having locally.

Mr Stables said: “I see the major driver behind Scouts being to help the kids develop skills that help them cope in the real world.

“As part of this, we teach them to take risks and learn how to make good decisions in a controlled and safe environment.

“We also at times put the youth members outside their comfort zone (whether it’s doing an activity they are nervous about or just staying away from home) and help them learn how to cope in that type

of situation.”Mr Stables said 15 cubs and

fi ve cub leaders recently attended the region Cuboree at Mt Penang.

“There were a lot of different activities for the youth members to do.

“For example on Gosford base, the activities were aerial sock wrestling, tattoos, water sock wrestling and rob the treasure.

“The sixers and seconders had a special dinner on Saturday night.

“By Sunday afternoon all the cubs and leaders were really tired, sore and ready to go home for a nice warm shower and a comfortable bed.

“First Woy Woy Sea Scouts cub pack will have eight cubs and four leaders attend the state Cuboree for fi ve nights in January next year.”

Two 14-year-old members of Umina Beach Surf Life Saving Club won nine medals between them in the recent NSW Pool Rescue Championships held at the Peninsula Leisure Centre recently.

“Competing for the fi rst time in an event of this nature and against the best clubs across the state, Teigan Miller and Helen Krucler amassed enough points between them over the two days to place Umina 13th out of more than 29 clubs in the club point score,” publicity offi cer Mr Carl Krucler said.

“When most clubs consisted of more than 10 competitors the results are surprising.

“They each gained medals in many events and at times in events against competitors in an older age group.”

Overall Teigan won seven medals including gold for Under-14s female 50 metre freestyle, two silver for Under-14s female 100 metre obstacle swim and Under-14s female 50 metre swim with fi ns and four bronze medals for the Under-14s 100 metre manikin carry with fi ns, Under-15s super lifesaver, Under-15s 50 metre freestyle and

Under-15s line throw.Meanwhile, Helen gained two

bronze medals in the Under-15s female 50 metre manikin carry and Under-15s female line throw.

“On top of these results, the girls placed in the top six in many events to gain the club valuable points for the club point score,” Mr Krucler said.

“This was the fi rst time either has competed at this level in a competition of this type.

“In these events, they must demonstrate ability to carry a manikin fi lled with water and so weighing in excess of 40 kilograms at times above the water line so that it doesn’t drown all the while trying to complete the course in the fastest possible times.

“Other events required them to swim then duck dive under barriers placed across the pool, or put fi ns on their feet halfway through a race and complete the event with the fi ns on.

“The club hopes this amazing achievement will encourage more members to participate in subsequent years and congratulates both girls on these fantastic results.”

Hundreds of spectators gathered at Ocean Beach Surf Club to mark the start of the surf life saving season on September 25.

The local surf club commemorated the offi cial start of the season with a fl ag raising ceremony and open day for members and the wider public to enjoy, according to director of marketing Mr Aaron Camp.

“The day was a massive success and began early with Gosford mayor Cr Chris Holstein, and Wyong mayor Cr Bob Graham offi cially opening the surf lifesaving season with the ceremonial raising of the fl ags,” Mr Camp said.

“The ceremony attracted hundreds of spectators to see rookie lifesavers march onto the beach under their club fl ags, before raising the red and yellow for the fi rst time in season 2010/11.

“Rookies, dignitaries and

members of the public alike then had the opportunity to have some fun on the giant infl atable slide, have their face painted, get a sausage sizzle or some fairy fl oss, and enjoy what was a fantastic warm, blue-sky day.

Mr Camp said that while there was plenty of fun with live music, Zumba dancing and free massage, there was also a serious side to the day’s activities.

Ocean Beach manager of rescue services Ms Katie Dixon said: “Lifesaving is our core activity and we want to ensure that locals and visitors to Ocean Beach Surf Life Saving Club have access to surf safety and other lifesaving information.

“We had a number of lifesaving demonstrations throughout the day including CPR, simulated rescues and surf sports.

“All the demonstrations were performed by some of Australia’s

strongest lifesaving and surf craft competitors, including NSW fi rst aid and patrol competition medallists Shelley Smith and Richard Grimmond, along with the ever-dominant Keelan Bridge, Ellyssia Gasparotto, Matt Hurst, Wade Hannell, and Blake Arahill in the water.

“A defi nite highlight was having a whole swag of new members sign up on the day after getting involved with the demonstrations and the general atmosphere around the club.

“We are always looking for new members to help us keep our community safe.”

Anyone who would like to join the team at Ocean Beach SLSC, should visit www.oceanbeachslsc.com, email [email protected], or drop into the club.

Umina Boardriders saw some of the best waves of the past two years as the club took to Umina Beach for its monthly contest on September 19.

Club secretary Ms Verity Roser said it was great to fi nally have some good waves at Umina on the day of the club’s monthly meeting.

“Finally we had swell on the actual Umina Boardriders day,” Ms Roser said.

“With a one to two metre swell running, the waves were the best we’ve had in a couple of years and the standard of surfi ng was outstanding from all members.

“There were a few casualties with the most spectacular being

Wicksy’s brand new board being broken into three pieces.”

Results for the day saw Col Wright win the Masters while Greg Power came in second and Brian Cook in third spot.

In the Opens division, Mark Wrice came out on top while second place went to Duane Artis, Jason Ralph in third and Col Wright in fourth.

B Grade saw Zach Makepeace take out fi rst place, second to Jye Jewiss, third for Billy Davis and fourth to Maddie Cook.

The Umina PCYC boxing team has ended two months of competition winning medals in the state titles, according to boxing director and coach Mr Joel Keegan.

Mr Keegan said the team of six local boxers came away from the NSW State Titles, held at Brighton Le Sands last month, with one silver and fi ve gold medals.

“Cliff Harris, Willis Meehan, Louis Meehan, Ryan McShane and Jordan Bunder all won gold medals, with Jai Opetaia taking out the silver medal in a hotly-disputed decision,” Mr Keegan said.

“This was a fantastic effort from a team that has been performing outstandingly well all over the past 12 months.

“The highlights were probably Jordan Bunder’s second round stoppage of the incredibly tough Cessnock boxer Ian Hindmarsh, to win the 81 kilogram Open Seniors belt, as well as Cliff Harris’s tough-decision win over Zaid Aity of Wollongong to win the 60 kilogram intermediate division.

“This follows some outstanding results by the Umina team at the National Golden Gloves held in Caboolture, Queensland, a fortnight earlier.”

Mr Keegan said the Golden Gloves event was the biggest amateur boxing tournament in Australia, with teams from every state and some from New Zealand and other Oceania countries taking

part.“In what was an indication of

what the Peninsula can look forward to, boom youngster Satali Tevi-Fuimuono was able to claim his fi rst national title with a fi rst round stoppage of his older and much more experienced Queensland opponent,” Mr Keegan said.

“Satali’s speed, power, and commitment to training has seen him stop his six opponents, and at the tender age of 12 anything could be possible for this impressive young man.

“Satali ticks every box – super skilled, loads of power, mentally tough, and keen to learn.

“It is so rare to be this good, this early.

“In another head turning performance, Jai Opetaia dominated Blake Reis to claim the 81 kilogram youth title.

“It was a polished performance, full of class and plenty of power that has this kid in great position for a shot at next year’s World Junior Championships.

“Willis and Louis Meehan, sons of heavyweight contender Kali Meehan, gave a glimpse of what could be a new dynasty, with a gold and silver medal respectively.

Mr Keegan said he had his eyes set on next year’s World Championships for several members in the Umina PCYC boxing team.

Boxing Academy Five local bowling clubs competed in Woy Woy Women’s Bowling Club’s annual Waterview Carnival last month.

The carnival was supported by bowlers from Umina, Ettalong, Everglades and Terrigal clubs, according to publicity offi cer Ms Miriam Cotton.

“There were many closely fought games and many friendships were renewed and new ones forged,” Ms Cotton said.

“The luncheon served on both days was most appreciated and thanks were given to the hard working social committee.

“Through the sponsorship of several local businesses and individual sponsors, the club was

able to give a generous prize money pool to the top fi ve teams as well as prizes to the winners of the morning games on both days.

“The overall winners were from Everglades while runners up came from Terrigal and the third placed team from Umina.

“These three teams all won the four games and were very close in ends and score.

“In other news, our minor singles competition was played out between Dianne Elsom and Linda Pointing in a very hard fought game with Linda the overall winner on the day.”

Brisbane Water Secondary College Umina Campus’ rugby league team have been the fi rst Central Coast high school to make it into the grand fi nal of the Buckley Shield in 35 years, according to team coach Mr

Pat Crouch.Mr Crouch said the team put

in a fantastic effort despite going down 18 to eight at fulltime.

“They made it into the grand fi nal of the Buckley Shield, the fi rst school from the Central Coast to do so since 1975.

“The Buckley Shield is contested

by over 400 schools state-wide and to make it into the last two is a mighty effort.

“They travelled far and wide, played in front of big, noisy, hostile crowds but never lost their nerve.”

Mr Crouch said he had no doubts that the team’s achievement would be talked about in years to come and they had “done their school proud”.
