Northern Beaches Council Notice
Church Point Cargo Wharf construction commences
Thank you for your continued interest in the work we’re undertaking in the Church Point precinct.We’re pleased to advise that the next phase of the Church Point Precinct Upgrade will start next week - the reconstruction of the Church Point Cargo Wharf. This upgrade will improve user safety and functionality for both private and commercial uses.
The new cargo wharf will extend further into the water and be slightly wider so as to remove the impact on traffic flow on McCarrs Creek Road and make berthing easier for vessels.
In preparation for reconstruction work the old wharf will be closed for the duration of the works starting from 29 October. We ask that any materials currently stored on the wharf be removed by 24 October.
The reconstruction involves demolishing the old cargo wharf structure, which has been in operation for decades, and replacing it with a suspended concrete structure, better suited to meet the demands of the commercial enterprises operating out of Church Point.
To assist wharf users and the off shore community we will construct a smaller temporary wharf which will be completed and operational prior to the closure of the old wharf. It’s anticipated the closure of the old wharf will be for eight weeks, weather permitting. The temporary wharf will be removed following the opening of the new wharf.
To improve the functionality of the temporary wharf, a temporary hardstand area has been made available next to the temporary wharf, available for public use. However, we do ask that no materials, bins or other deliveries are to be left unattended in the hardstand area, as these will take up already reduced space. Anything stored in this area which is affecting the functionality of the temporary wharf will be removed by Council.
Regular cargo wharf users are encouraged to use the boat ramp at Rowland Reserve in Bayview, where possible, as the temporary wharf has a smaller capacity and will require coordination between users.
Key dates
3 October Site establishment
8-26 October Construction of the Temporary Cargo Wharf
24 October Removal of all materials from the old Cargo Wharf
29 October Expected closure of the old Cargo Wharf
Late December Reopening of Cargo Wharf
We thank you for your patience and understanding during this important project. Information about the Church Point upgrade work is available on Council’s website: northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au

Tick Paralysis
Ticks are dangerous parasites that can kill your pet.
What happens if you find a tick on your pet?
If you find a tick on your pet and they are showing any signs of paralysis please contact us immediately. If your pet seems normal you can remove the tick with a tick hook and watch it very carefully. Keep your pet cool and quiet for 24 hours.Avoid feeding dogs as they may have trouble swallowing which could lead to regurgitation and then pneumonia.
If your pet is showing no signs after 24 hours then that tick will probably not cause paralysis. Make sure you search for other ticks and update your tick prevention.
The signs of tick poisoning
The paralysis tick injects a toxin into its host dog or cat as it feeds. Increased body temperature due to either hot weather or exercise will exacerbate symptoms.If left to run its course, a case of tick poisoning goes through three stages.
Early signs:
- A change in voice; the meow or bark becomes softer and/or changes pitch.
- Weakness in the back legs; walking along then sitting down suddenly is a common early sign.
- Vomiting, especially if it happens several times in a day and you see froth.
Later signs:
- Wobbliness in the back legs.
- Excessive salivation and vomiting is not uncommon.
- Panting, progressing to loud breathing, even grunting noises.
- Many dogs will exhibit a moist cough and breathing problems before other signs. (Particularly common in King Charles spaniels, schnauzers and other short-nosed dogs, this is a dangerous sign because it may lead to pneumonia.)
Worsening signs:
- As signs of poisoning progress, the animals become unable to stand.
- Breathing becomes exaggerated and difficult.
- As breathing becomes more difficult, the gums become cold and blue-tinged. Death follows quite quickly.
How can you find a tick on your pet?
Most ticks are found around the head and neck of the animal as well as inside the ears, but they can end up anywhere on the body. In tick season it is important to use a good tick preventive and also to search your pet every day. A small tick missed one day can be found the next and save your pets life.
Paralysis ticks that can kill your pet are usually between 3mm and 10mm in diameter. They attach with their mouth parts making a hole in the skin which can often be painful or itchy. The body of the tick sticks out from the skin. Sometimes a skin tag can be mistaken for a tick. By moving any skin lump around and looking at it’s attachment to the skin you can generally tell the difference. Pulling a skin tag off can be painful and upset your pet, but you wont be the first owner who has done this.
Paralysis ticks can be difficult to pull out as they hold on tightly with their mouth parts and when removed leave a hole in the skin called a tick crater. The tick crater will be 3-10mm across and take a month to heal. As it heals it forms a thick scab. Try not to pick at the scab as it will become infected and sore.
The most reliable way to locate ticks is to systematically run your fingers through your cat or dog’s coat. Press your fingertips down to the skin level and draw systematic little circles trying to cover the whole skin surface. Start at the nose and move along between the nose and eyes. Search in the lips and around the ears. It is especially important to search long haired dogs very thoroughly between the eyes and the end of the nose as this is a common area for ticks to be missed.
Always remove your pets collar rather than just pushing it out of the way. If you find a bump or a sore spot separate the hair and examine the skin. The tick will be attached with the head buried under the skin and the body sticking out from the skin.
Continue running your fingers around the neck, armpits, legs, between the toes, along the tail and around the anus and vulva. Some tick bites are very sore so if you have an area that your pet doesn’t want examined it is best to examine that area carefully in case there is a tick hiding. Ticks can also cause local paralysis. A tick above an eye will often cause paralysis of the eyelids and an inability to blink for up to 4 weeks. Sometimes the face will look asymmetrical giving you a hint that there is a tick hiding somewhere.
We find using a tick hook like the green one shown below to be the most reliable way to remove ticks. If the head is left in, don’t worry as the tick will die and inject no more poison. Always assume there is more than one tick and continue your systematic search.
It is true that animals can develop an immunity to tick poison, but it requires repeated mild poisoning and may last only one season. Even those animals that do build up an immunity can still wind up paralysed if they’re bitten by multiple ticks or a particularly toxic one. It’s not a good idea to count on your pet being one of the lucky ones that develop immunity.
With thanks to;

Pasadena Pantry & Fresh is Now Open!
My name is Colin and I’m the big bloke behind the counter who loves to talk food and wine with people who are passionate about quality ingredients and supporting Australian producers.
At PP&F, we go directly to the source for freshness and variety (which means we can give offshorers a 10% discount on their purchases).
Our bread comes from La Banette in Mona Vale, our fruit and vegetables come from Alex’s farm in Orange (next time you come in, ask to try one of his apples, they’re wonderfully sweet and crisp), our milk comes directly from farmer-owned Norco, and our fabulous chorizo comes from the justifiably renowned Eumundi Smokehouse. Our meat is free range and our eggs are organic. We stock a wide range of Australian and international cheeses with crackers to suit every style (try the charcoal crackers with a heaven slice of blue cheese – it’s Pepe’s pick and it’s magic) and we’re working to source delicious new cheeses from country areas in NSW.
As the days get longer and summer tickles our taste buds, we’re planning to host grazing table evenings with cheese, olives, salamis and matching wines. So stay tuned…and if you need to replace your gas bottle or soda stream, we can help you there, too.

Trauma Teddies 
While recently having a cuppa with Louise Roberts I noticed she was
knitting a small teddy. What sort of teddy? She told me it
was a Trauma Teddy and she
knits them for the Red Cross.Trauma Teddies were conceived in 1990 by the ambulance service. They discovered the calming effect of a teddy can have on a distressed child. The Trauma Teddy was born and are still in use today and are distributed by the Red Cross.
So, as a result of this cuppa I also have started to knit Trauma Teddies and thus the reason for my request.
If anyone has any spare 8 ply acrylic wool they never plan to use, or old cushions that could be used to stuff the teddies I would be very appreciative of your contribution. Acrylic wool is preferred as it is very washable.
Happy to collect or just drop it off at our joint – 36 Robertston Road.
Also, if there is anyone else, other than Louise and I, knitting Trauma Teddies on the Island very happy to share whatever is donated.
With our very best regard, Linda Prisk and teddy.

A Visual Feast – Two Artists and a Chef
Paintings and sculptures by Juliet Holmes à Court and Ruth Levine – Art from our culinary muse, James Viles, Biota
STURT GALLERY 23 September - 12 November 2018
“Why, we
are asked, set a challenge like this, landscapes off a plate, and
sculptures from a meal? The answer is, and it’s another thing in common
with nature,.... to grow”.
They are artists who are fed by nature, its shapes, its colours, its textures. Using the fascinating culinary work of local chef, Biota's James Viles, has been a step into a selection of nature’s offerings that they wouldn’t have found on their own.
The meals so artfully aimed at palette, nostril and eye, presented to Juliet's painter’s palette, colour combinations and shapes both new and stimulating.
Ruth’s sculptural vessels sought the key to James’ inspiration, which is, the basic ingredient - from the lineal texture of the mushroom, the irregular roughness of charcoal, to the tea like banding of mussels. James’ nose to tail cooking philosophy, along with the idea of gathering from his immediate environment, is paralleled in her design practice of recycling and foraging from her environment.
This body of work is visually and touch textural, the perfection of nature, represented in all its imperfection, a foil against an offshore, machine mass made age.
The exhibition will be opened at 11am on Sunday 23 September by special guest John Newton, freelance writer, journalist, novelist, teacher.
The exhibition will run from 23 September to 18 November.

How Infrared Sauna Works
iHealth Saunas work by heating the body deeply using infrared rays and therefore increasing the circulation naturally resulting in pain relief, weight loss and increased energy.
The infrared panels are specifically designed to emit energy at the same wavelength as that emitted by the human body. As an added benefit iHealth Far Infrared Saunas operate at substantially lower temperatures than conventional steam/hot rock saunas, permitting extended and more comfortable sauna sessions. Our body readily absorbs far infrared or healthy light (energy) to a depth of 45mm creating a deep, penetrating heat that relaxes, soothes and loosens sore joints and muscles.
