100 Poppies By Rachael VAUGHAN REMEMBRANCE Day, Sunday, 11 November 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the Armistice which ended the First World War (1914–18). MarketPlace Raymond Terrace, along with local Positive Behaviour for Learning (PBL) Schools, wanted to show a mark of respect on this special day to not only our fallen, but to families of the loved ones and the community. Colleen MulhollandRuiz from MarketPlace told News Of The Area, “This year being such a special year, marking 100 years, we wanted this to reflect in a special way with our younger generation showing a mark of respect and telling stories of our fallen and what Remembrance means.” It is with this that school students across Raymond Terrace, Medowie, Salt Ash

and Karuah, along with teachers and people within the community, come together to decorate and tell stories on 100 poppies. Each participating School completed ten poppies each, telling stories of war, survival, sacrifice and remembrance. The one hundred poppies will be placed around the sportsground next to MarketPlace on Sunday 11 November, marking this special day and coinciding with the annual Christmas Festival hosted by the centre. Lue Fagan from Irrawang High School, told News Of The Area, “Each School was privileged to be a part of the MarketPlace poppy initiative, because of the significance of the day the Christmas parade falls on Remembrance day.” “Lots of thought went

War on Waste By Rachael VAUGHAN

WITH the war on waste gaining momentum across Australia as big name supermarkets ban plastic bags, there’s some small fry doing their part to make a big impact in Port Stephens. Year seven Human Science and it’s Environment (HSIE) at Irrawang HIgh School, is continuing the school’s strong stance on recycling and reducing its waste, with its ‘Lead the Cycle 2 Recycle’ campaign. They want to see change and find a better way of recycling in all schools. During their studies, the students found themselves surprised at the lack of importance for separating waste and recycling, and the lack of recycling bins in New South Wales schools. They took it upon themselves to set a goal to make some noise, and hopefully bring about some change in the

It is not, it is our problem, it is a men’s problem.” In his address Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer recognised the strength and courage of the women who are victims of violence in attending the event and said enough is enough.

The need for change is clear, and for those experiencing violence there is help available locally at the Yacaaba Centre.

Port Stephens Students join together for 100 years of Remembrance FROM Page 1 into the decorating each of the 100 poppies, which gave students the opportunity to acknowledge, in some cases their relatives, the significance of what had happened to our veterans.” The annual ‘Santa’s Arrival’ festival taking place at the sportsground from 10am on the same day, will ask the community to pause at 11am for a short service and a one minute silence as we remember the fallen.

Remembrance Day is a day for the community to pause and reflect on what these men and women sacrificed for our safety. It is vital we use days like this to show the younger generation how important it is to reflect, and to never forget what has been before us, and how it impacts on the lives we live today. Remember on this day when you are out and about, to say thank you to our service men and women for the duties they carried out,

for their country, and for our freedom. MarketPlace has invited Legacy to be part of the event this year, with all funds raised from the event going directly to Legacy to assist them in continuing the amazing work

they do helping our returned servicemen and women, and their families. o Phot ery Gall line On

Care packages for our Troops IT’S that time of year again, when the Williamtown Defence Family Group (WDFG) are starting the ‘Deployment Care Packages’ project and they’d love to invite everyone to participate. This year the project will run from 12 October to 6 November, collecting donations (for box top ups) and individuals filling packages to be sent to deployed troops, and it’s not too late to join in. The group has 200 boxes available for pick up from any of the collection centres including Fighterworld, Williamtown Preschool, Defence Bank, Australian

Military Bank and Overflow Church Medowie. You can participate by making a donation of items or by filling one or more boxes and returning it unsealed to the collection centre. The WDFG will then collect the items or boxes and prepare them for postage to the troops. Feedback from troops in 2017 showed that brand name products that remind the troops of home is what they miss the most. Tim Tams, Starburst, small Vegemite, Arnott’s biscuits and nuts are difficult to find and much more expensive than

amounted to over $10,000 with all funds going towards the work the not-for-profit Group’s members undertake, supporting breast cancer patients on the Tomaree Peninsula. Guest speaker Sister Diana Santleben held the attention of the guests with her inspiring talk on her passion to educate refugee women living in the Newcastle area. Sister Di, who is often called a Newcastle Hero is the Founder of Zara’s House at Jesmond, where newly arrived refugee women and their children can connect with the local community. Syrian, Afghani and African women learn English and develop literacy competence in their mother tongue at Zara’s House, which is close to the homes of many refugee families. The morning finished with the popular giant raffle for which tickets were also sold out.

My 18-year-old daughter has just let me know that she is pregnant. She and the boyfriend recently bought a cat and then left it with me when they moved out, so that shows her level of commitment. I’m worried. Besides, I’m only 39. I feel I’m too young to take this on. Yours truly, Mr PM, Boat Harbour Dear Mr PM, or should I call you Grandpa? Well, this is a fine old state of affairs. There you were encouraging the boyfriend over friendly cricket matches, and meanwhile he was hitting home runs with your princess. There are positives to being a young mum, though I can’t for the life of me remember what they are because I’ve suffered sleep deprivation since the age of 19. Did you not give her the doll that cries and wees and vomits when she was in her formative years? Did you not take her to cafes where screaming babies ruin everyone’s flat white and smashed avocado? Did you not show her images of mindless mothers playing Candy Crush because their brains are so fried? How about some birthing videos in slow motion with the Psycho soundtrack in the background for good measure? But don’t worry too much, Pop, or should I call you Pa or Gramps? You have not lost a daughter, you have gained a son . . . oh, and a baby. Well done, you. And the best part is, when she realises what a hard gig this parenting caper is, she’ll probably be spending a lot more time at your joint. There’s a plus. Or else she’ll just drop the little treasure to your house and go back to being a teenager again while you walk the hallways singing lullabies. Ah, the pitter patter of tiny feet is truly a joy for all to behold, but mostly the grandparents. Carpe diem, Jasminda.

Comfort Kits for Emergency Admits The local Tilligerry branch of the CWA has been putting together wonderful hospital packs to help make the disruption to life that little bit easier.

IT is never convenient to go into hospital and it feels like you always leave something

you need at home. If you are unexpectedly admitted into the Mater or John Hunter Hospital in the near future you may get a

pleasant surprise. The local Tilligerry branch of the CWA has been putting together wonderful hospital packs to help make

q Happy CWA members making up hospital admission packs, Kay Lindsay, Jannene Finnemore, Helen Matthews, Margaret McDonald, Judith McDonald, Lyn Chamberlain, Marie Towler, Rhonda Sessions. the disruption to life that little bit easier. The CWA Branch creates hospital packs annually and this year have made 99 packs to help those admitted into hospital unexpectedly. They have also crotched 12 beautiful rugs for the children’s ward. As a parent myself that has had a child receive a rug on a day when everything was going wrong in hospital, I can say with certainty that these will be well appreciated and loved.

q Finished for the day, Jannene Finnemore, Helen Matthews, Margaret McDonald, Kay Lindsay, President Alma Williams.

Marilyn Sanderson of the Tilligerry Branch of the CWA told News Of The Area, “Our small but active branch beavers away to support not only the ongoing projects targeted by the NSW Country Women’s Association, such as drought relief and international projects, but we also support local services including the Rural Fire Brigade, Marine Rescue, The Westpac Rescue Helicopter and Hunter Life Education.” The ladies of the CWA will be holding their annual

Singing In Japan By Marian SAMPSON

SINGING in a choir is a wonderful way to improve your mood, reduce depression and decrease stress and anxiety. Port Stephens’ own community choir, the Seaside Singers is currently touring Japan to share the joy of music. The Choir fosters an environment

where members sing together and learn together. The group also conducts social outings. The aim of the Seaside Singers is to have a substantial choir that can produce high quality singing that the community of Port Stephens will support and be proud of. During their tour of Japan the Choir has performed in a range

Nigel Dique of the Port Stephens Sister Cities Committee told News Of The Area, “It has been a joy and a privilege travelling with such a committed group as the Seaside Singers in Japan. “They have been most professional in workshops and performances in our sister cities, performing with Japanese singers.

“The impromptu ‘pop-up’ performances in parks and gardens takes ‘grassroots diplomacy’ to a new level. “Wherever they perform, they attract crowds, including young school children on excursions. We make sure we hand out pamphlets with information about the singers.” “This has been one of the most successful sister cities exchanges ever,” he said.

Banks at the Tavern

By Rachael VAUGHAN

SUNDAY afternoon is looking cruisy, with Anna Bay Tavern setting the scene for a perfect relaxing music of smooth tunes and cool refreshments. Justin Banks hits the stage at 3pm, and promises to provide the perfect end to the weekend. Justin was the lead vocalist in the International Award winning band, “Sonamulate” from 2005 to 2009. He was the only person to have won multiple consecutive International songwriting competitions with his unsigned EP album “Sleepwalking through life”. Justin left a 10 year stint in the music industry to pursue a career in acting and filmmaking, where he has had great success, particularly in his most recent film “Hero” starring

John Jarratt from Wolf Creek and Play School fame. Justin spent 7 years working for the Roland Corporation Australia, where he learned the ins and outs of digital musical instruments. With this knowledge and experience, he has taken solo artistry to another level entirely with his majestic harmonic vocals and clever use of loop pedals and vocal enhancers on stage. He covers a broad repertoire of artists, leaving not a musical genre stone unturned. From Simon & Garfunkel and The Beatles, right through to Kings of Leon and Pete Murray. Justin Banks’s set is bound to offer something for everyone, in the perfect Sunday afternoon ambience of Anna Bay Tavern.

arket M Advice

By Rachael VAUGHAN

By Denise HAYNES

Email questions to Denise: media@newsofthearea.com.au

ur resident Property Expert, is here to offer advice. Denise will be responding to questions from News Of The Area readers, throughout the circulation area of our FOUR News Of The Area papers on a rotating basis. SEND your questions to Denise, care of media@ newsofthearea.com.au and include your, name and suburb.

Dear Denise,

How do I present my acreage for sale? DF Bob Farm WHEN it comes time to sell your small acreage or farm, most of the same rules apply to a Residential sale. It’s mainly just on a larger scale. Probably the biggest issues I have, experiencing Rural Sales presentation, is that with acreage there are sometimes lots of old pieces of machinery/hardware lying around. I understand that these are usually handy to have at some point, for spare parts and repairs, but when it comes time to sell, either get rid of them or store them neatly away. Trust me when I say that your buyer can not see past them. They will see your property as poorly kept and unattractive. This is the last thing you want as they will want to pay less for it if anything at all. Another item that’s truly important is the grounds of the property. Have them slashed so that they are park like. This will appeal visually to your buyer. It will also enable your agent & buyers to walk or drive around the paddocks freely, thus having a better viewing. Hope this helps. Denise.

of remembrance, through the exciting discoveries made by the main characters, on their adventurous journey. Her expertly written text connects Australia’s involvement in France and Belgium during World War I to current topics such as the environment, refugees, experiences of trauma, sport, and remembrance. Natural history illustrator, Laura Arnull, has created beautiful imagery that reflects the sombre tone of remembrance on former battlefields. Heather told News Of The Area, “The book teaches Australians about the lasting impact of conflict so it is perfect in the lead up to Remembrance Day as it shows how war still impacts people and the environment even 100 years after the end of World War I.” “The book will appeal to those who want to learn about the impact of World War I.” “A newly designed font, Dyslexie, was chosen for this book as it will make the reading easier for those who have dyslexia or other reading difficulties.” Primary school teachers looking for new material for Remembrance Day are advised

NEWS Of The Area’s own reporter, and Newcastle University lecturer, Dr Heather Sharp, is also a published Author. She can now add ‘published Children’s book Author’ to her list of achievements. Her book ‘Remembering for Peace: The adventures of Emma and Ryan’ follows the adventures of Emma and Ryan as they travel through France and Belgium, finding out what their Great Grandfather experienced in World War I. Emma and Ryan encounter people along the way who teach them the history of the area. With a focus on the Remembrance Trail, children reading this book will learn about areas Australians fought in during the War, and understand the lasting impact conflict has on people and on the environment. The book is intended for independent readers who are already reading chapter books, but still enjoy the warmth of a picture book. The extended narrative provides a depth that will engage readers, and encourage them to think laterally about issues

Washington not impressed over Mambo missing

Port Stephens MP Kate Washington has slammed the recent announcement from Environment Minister Gabrielle Upton which allocates $20 million to buy privately owned koala habitat, but excludes the buy-back of the Mambo Wetlands. Accorcing to Ms Washington, a map released along with the expression of interest details identifies priority areas for purchase in Port Stephens, but seeminly

excludes Salamander Bay where the Government sold 6 hectares of koala habitat to a property developer in 2016. Ms Washington said, “The Government has refused calls to transfer land they already own in Fishermans Bay into the adjoining Tomaree National Park, but they are offering $20 million to buy private land to add to the same National Park. This Government has the wrong priorities.”

Remembrance Day November 11 2018

Lest We Forget

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the end of the First World War. On November 11 1918, at 11am, the guns fell silent on the Western Front (Belgium and France) and more than four years of bloody warfare was ended. Over 400,000 Australians enlisted in the First World War – roughly 60,000 never returned home. The First World War was also the first time that those killed in action were not repatriated home to Australia. This changed the nature of honouring their lives and grieving their loss profoundly – making such services as Remembrance Day even more important and symbolic. On Remembrance Day we remember the fallen – but we remember with equal sorrow those who returned battered and scarred from their service; “In War there are no unwounded soldiers” (Jose Narosky). At Peter Sinclair Gardens we will be commemorating Remembrance Day in the following way: Where: 2 Mirreen Street, Hawks Nest NSW 2324 Date: Wednesday, 7 November 2018 Time: 10:00am You are warmly invited to attend our service, as are members of our local community. To find out more, please contact Ursula Roberts on (02) 4997 0767.
