Profile of the Week Margaret Anne Molloy OAM
Passed away peacefully on April 14, 2023.
Born May 22, 1932.
Beloved wife of Tom (late), proud and loving mother of Scott and David, delighted grandmother of Rachael, James, Clare, Tamzin and Max, respected and much loved auntie of the extended family and cherished friend of all who knew her, Margaret has, after ninety years of giving, gone to be with her husband in the arms of the Lord of creation.

Family and friends attended a commemoration and celebration of Margaret’s life at Lovett Bay, Pittwater, the place she loved best, on the 22nd May, 2023.

This Issue we run Margaret's Profile from 2012 to commemorate and celebrate a wonderful lady of our community.

To open our June 2012 focus on Pittwater ladies who have contributed much to many for decades we were privileged to share a small insight on a lady who has been a delight and a champion for Pittwater's Offshore residents for decades. With careers as a journalist, writer, insightful in Australian literature, receiving an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) on the Queens Birthday Honours List of 2009 ''For service to the community of West Pittwater'', Margaret saw lots of change in Pittwater but was a fine example of what doesn’t change and how what is in people enriches community.

A resident of the beautiful Lovett Bay, secretary for the West Pittwater Rural Fire Brigade since the early 1970’s, Margaret had backbone, clarity and generosity and a sharp mind as she sailed into her ninth decade in the world. 

Born in Nowra into a family who had lived there since 1900, where her grandfather, Henry Rauch bought and edited the Shoalhaven Telegraph newspaper, later publishing the Shoalhaven and Nowra News, the latter being founded by her father Cecil, who was also Mayor of Nowra in 1926, Margaret Molloy, born May 22, 1932, had saltwater in her essence and words that came together to say what she means.

National Reconciliation Week runs Saturday 27 May 2023 to Saturday 3 June 2023
National Sorry Day or the National Day of Healing, an event held annually in Australia on 26 May, commemorating the Stolen Generations, precedes this. 

National Sorry Day remembers and acknowledges the mistreatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children who were forcibly removed from their families and communities. National Reconciliation Week is a time for Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures and achievements. 
The first National Sorry Day was held on the one-year anniversary of the 1997 Bringing Them Home report. It examined the government practices and policies which led to the Stolen Generations and recommended support and reparations to the Indigenous population. 

On 28 May 2000, more than 250,000 people, both Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, participated in a walk across Sydney Harbour Bridge organised by the Council for Aboriginal Reconciliation to protest the lack of a government apology to Indigenous people, show solidarity and to raise public awareness. Members of the public also had a plane write "sorry" above the bridge the same day.

The Uluru Statement from the Heart was released on Sorry Day in 2017.

In our area the Aboriginal Support Group Manly Warringah Pittwater, ASGMWP, will hold its annual National Sorry Day this Sunday, May 28th, at Mona Vale Memorial Hall from 1.30pm. All Welcome - All Belong.

National Reconciliation Week (NRW) is a time for all Australians to learn about our shared histories, cultures, and achievements, and to explore how each of us can contribute to achieving reconciliation in Australia.

The theme for National Reconciliation Week 2023, ''Be a Voice for Generations'', encourages all Australians to be a voice for reconciliation in tangible ways in our everyday lives – where we live, work and socialise.

Further information about National Reconciliation Week this year is available on the Reconciliation Australia website: www.reconciliation.org.au

To close this special week, 'Singing Up Country 2023' will take place on Sunday June 4th in our area.

This Issue a Celebration to Honour two real First Ladies of our area - one the mother and one the daughter who became renowned for being a midwife to all who lived in Pittwater.

Which reflects back on the Stolen Generations - children taken and in Catherine Benns, children given.

Would you like to help Manly CWA celebrate their centenary? Manly CWA invite everyone to be involved in their Edible Exhibition.

On Saturday 26th August Manly CWA are holding an Edible Exhibition at St Matthew’s Manly. It will be a celebration of Manly Branch of the Country Women’s Association throughout the last 100 years with an exhibition and sale of 100 different tea cosies and 100 aprons. 

The focus will be the 100 cakes – each representing a different year and an event in the history of our area, state or the world.

The Edible Exhibition is a celebration of 100 years of community support by Manly Branch of the Country Women's Association. You are invited to nominate yourself to create a cake. Once you are registered you will then be given a year and information of things that might be represented for that year. 

Think: 2000 - Sydney Olympics - make 5 ring cakes and decorate to look like the Olympic rings; 1966 - Decimal currency - create a cake that is a coin or a note from the new currency.

DIY Ideas Mould set to rise Inside Your home this Winter: How to Keep Air and Surfaces Healthier - It’s starting to get cold and when it does we tend to close windows, draw curtains and blinds to keep warmth in and bring still damp clothes in off the line as the sun slips towards the horizon to ‘air’ them overnight inside before putting them in closets and drawers. We put down the draught stops, check seals on windows and slide a thicker mat over those bathroom drains that seem to filter a draught into the home.

However, this Winter, after three consecutive La Niñas, conditions are ripe for a mega-mould season. 

Mould is a fungal growth that reproduces via tiny airborne particles called spores. When these spores settle on moist, plant-based construction materials such as wood, wallpaper or plasterboard, they can form a new colony. Living in a mould infested home is harmful to your health. The World Health Organisation recognises mould can be harmful. A 2022 Asthma Australia report revealed people living in mouldy homes were more likely to have asthma and allergies. A systematic review of peer-reviewed research found children living in mouldy homes were more likely to experience asthma, wheeze and allergic irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and mouth (allergic rhinitis).

Living with mould is a source of stress; people worry about the consequences for their health and there is also a growing body of evidence describing the negative mental health effects of mouldy, damp homes. 
Further, mould remediation can be costly. A study by Victoria University found half the defects causing mould were water-related. These were more expensive to fix than other problems, by an average of A$7,000.

What can you do about it?  Get rid of it and take steps to prevent it from coming back! This Issue a few tips, tricks and helpmeets
