Marathon for Darren By Rachael VAUGHAN

q Darren Bisson at Raymond Terrace Parkrun, preparing for the Marathon in New York.

ONE in two Australian men have had a mental health problem at some point in their lives and three out of four suicides are men, according to the Movember Foundation. As the nation becomes more and more accepting of speaking out about mental health, it is our men that are still being left behind as they continue to build on the statistics of being comfortable enough to raise their hand and bravely say, ‘I need help’. One Port Stephens man is ensuring that he provides a strong role model for men with mental health concerns, as he shared his story with News Of The Area. For Darren Bisson, an event in February 2017 shook his family to the core. For the next 18 months, Darren did what any typical husband and father would

do, and he focused on his family, at what turned out to be at the cost of his own physical and mental wellbeing. In February 2018, it all came to a head, and Darren realised he needed help, and he put up his hand and asked for it. On a particularly dark day, Darren received an email from the Movember Foundation asking if he would be interested in nominating to run the NYC Marathon in November as part of a 25 person team. Not thinking he had a chance, having not run more than 10km in

media@newsofthearea.com.au

his adult life, Darren submitted a nomination. To his shock, he was accepted as part of an International team of 25 people to run the NYC Marathon on behalf of the Movember Foundation. Darren told News Of The Area, “With no experience in running, I was not sure what I had gotten into.” “With my weight ballooning to 108kg, I started a 6 month marathon training program to begin preparations.” “To assist in my journey, I’ve taken a sledgehammer to my diet to bring my weight down, which is assisting my training,” he said. Since starting his training, Darren has improved his running time by five minutes. He said, “Still a long way to go, but each improvement counts.” Darren will compete

in the NYC Marathon in November, and is using his Facebook page and GoFundMe page in the meantime to use his training story to shed light on Men’s mental health. His Facebook page for this event, to keep track of his progress is; https://www.facebook.com/ NovocastrianRunsNYCMarathonForMovember Foundation/ News Of The Area will keep up to date on Darren’s progress as he prepares for this important event.

residents of NSW. This kind of news is music to the ears of Charities and community groups, including Tilligerry Peninsula’s own Youth Group, the Centre For Hope Drop In Centre. Staff member Jamie Brewster told News Of The Area, “We’re very excited by this, as we are currently collecting bottles and cans and using the funds raised to create activities for local kids.” “Club Lemon Tree has come on board, as well as a number of residents, by collecting their cans for us

to pick up and put through the machines, and we are so grateful.” “The fact we have our own machine means the added cost of having to travel elsewhere no longer exists,” he said. Drink containers eligible for the 10-cent refund include most containers between 150ml and three litres. Containers should not be crushed or broken and have the original label attached to be eligible for the refund. To find out more, visit www.returnandearn.org.au

THE good people of the Tilligerry Peninsula now have their own Return and Earn Reverse Vending machine. The machine, located at the Tanilba Bay Coles supermarket, will save residents time and fuel as they will no longer need to drive their eligible recyclables to the already established Medowie, Tomaree or Raymond Terrace facilities. The new addition to the local Return and Earn network will also take the pressure off of the other locations, allowing the population of each locality better access to their own facility. The Return and Earn initiative gives back 10 cents for every eligible drink container, primarily glass and plastic bottles and cans, that is recycled. To date, the initiative has recycled over 312 million containers which means $31.2 million has been paid out to the

FROM Page 1 Email Jasminda: edit@mcnota.com.au

o you have a pressing problem, annoying anxiety or community conundrum? Jasminda Featherlight, our resident roving Agony Aunt, is here to help. Jasminda will be responding to questions from readers throughout the circulation area of our FOUR News Of The Area papers on a rotating basis. SEND your concerns to Jasminda care of edit@mcnota.com.au and include your title, initials and suburb.

Dear Jasminda,

My husband likes to hold my hand when we are walking in public, but I can’t stand it. What should I do? Perplexed Mrs PR, Tea Gardens Dear Mrs PR,

We all have individual reactions to PDA (Public Displays of Affection). Hand holding seems pretty low on the list of things that I have witnessed couples doing in public, and quite innocent and cute. We vary in our feelings towards PDA depending on a whole range of things including our upbringing, our cultural differences and our social values. Hand holding could be a sign of your husband protecting you (a bit like walking on the side nearest the road, which is a very honourable and gentlemanly thing to do). It could also be viewed as a sign of ownership (this is my wife, buddy, get your roving eyes off her), which may sit well with you or not, depending on a whole host of things. My husband likes to hold my hand when we are looking at plants in our garden. I’m not sure whether he is being affectionate, or trying to keep me there long enough to finish the weeding, but I’m not complaining either way. I do, however, find it difficult to hold hands when walking, because we are different heights and he takes one stride to each of my two. Hand holding feels a bit like a three-legged race. The only time I do want to hold his hand in public is when we are in Bunnings because I always seem to lose him. In fact, I would quite like to put him in one of those harnesses that used to be all the rage with frazzled parents so their kids wouldn’t take off in public. Perhaps you can show your husband affection in another way. A casual rub on the arm or a peck on the cheek now and then should keep him happy. Otherwise, make sure your hands are full, so the option isn’t there.

schools on board, bringing the total to nine.

Dean Langdon from Hunter River High School for offering to pay for a student he didn’t know at a sporting event when that student didn’t have enough money to purchase lunch.

stalls and free activities. The old Medowie ‘Squashies’ have undergone a complete transformation, with the new Centre set up so far welcoming a cafe, creche, 24 hour gym, physio, dietitian/nutritionist, squash courts, gymnastics, martial arts, STEM kids club and conference rooms. The renovations so far encompass the stage one renovations of the building, and now make way for stage two to begin. Kylie Smiley from the Centre said, “We would like to extend our thanks to Mayor Ryan Palmer, Kate Washington MP, Councillor Sarah Smith and Councillor Chris Doohan for joining us for the official opening and cutting of the ribbon.” The Marching Koalas were special guests as well on the day, marching down Ferodale road to the Centre, making an appropriate fuss on the special event. The community was treated to free jumping castle rides,

face painting and activities, and all businesses within the centre contributed something to the day. There were martial arts and gymnastics demonstrations, healthy living stalls and delicious spit roast by Sportz Cafe staff. Another special moment was a private ‘turning of the soil’ ceremony by Ryan Palmer and the Port Stephens Councillors, to mark the commencement of the building of Medowie’s very own pool. Kylie Smiley said, “With stage one now complete, we look forward to the stage two beginning, including the Aquatic Centre, children’s playground, and even more additional activities coming into our Centre, as well as upgrades to the facade and so many more changes to come.” “We are so pleased with how this event went, and are so pleased with the funds we raised for our chosen Charity on the day.” The Open Day saw raffle tickets sold in support of FoodWay, that support over 1200 families here in Medowie and across Port Stephens, with over 300 hot meals served, pantry goods and pre-loved clothing for those in need.

Georgia also achieved National Grand Champion in Level 2 and was fortunate enough to be asked to compete in the invitation only Pinnacle Championships, which sees the best of the best go head to head. In the Pinnacle Championships, she completed in various sections, and came away with a First in Cheer, and a Third in Cheer. All of this hard work paid off when Georgia and her fellow squad mates were offered a very special chance to compete on the world stage. This prestigious event was held in Orlando, Florida in early May, and involved hundreds of teams from all over the world. Georgia’s Mum accompanied Georgia and her squad mates as one of the chaperones. They achieved 8th in the world for Level 3 and 12th in the world for level 2. News Of The Area congratulates Georgia Almond and her squad mates at MCPD Studio on these wonderful results.

FTTN (Fibre To The Node). “I’m pleased that my advocacy to NBN has resulted in the Tilligerry Peninsula being switched to FTTP technology,” Ms Swanson said. In Medowie, however, most NBN connections will still be FTTN, with some FTTC (Fibre To The Curb). Ms Swanson said users of the NBN on FTTP connections

would receive a superior connection that would be future-proof, deliver much higher speeds and experience fewer connection problems than a connection utilising part of the copper network. The Tilligerry and Medowie NBN builds are expected to be complete in the first half of 2019. “I am calling on NBN to scrap the rollout of FTTN in Medowie and offer these communities FTTC

connections, if not FTTP,” Ms Swanson said. “What is sorely needed in these communities is a decent internet connection, and FTTN will not deliver for the needs of many people today, let alone into the future.” Locals are encouraged to check the NBN website to confirm the technology they will be receiving and their expected connection date.

q Support the Raymond Terrace Lions on their FFA Cup journey.

FFA Cup Dreams

By Rachael VAUGHAN

SOCCER fans, it is time to come out of the woodwork and support your team. The Raymond Terrace Lions Soccer Club is attempting to advance into the next round of the nation-wide FFA Cup competition. Standing between them and the next round is Northern NSW Premier League team,

Adamstown Rosebud. However, if you want to be the best, you have to beat the best. And this is what the FFA Cup is all about. Based on the English FA Cup, this competition allows lower level clubs the opportunity to mix it with some of this country’s best. This even includes the A-League clubs. Your Raymond Terrace Lions won’t be taking on the likes of the

Newcastle Jets or Sydney FC unless they can get past Adamstown and then some. And that’s why they need your support as they take on some big clubs over the coming weeks. Peter Petryk from Raymond Terrace Soccer Club told News Of The Area, “Our FFA cup journey this year started with a 4-2 victory over Zone league one side Newcastle University , next up was Beresfield who play

a division higher in the Zone Premier league, 4-1 was the result after Beresfield had taken the lead early in the game, the team consisted of a mixture of first and reserve graders to give the younger guys coming through the club an experience playing in the Cup.” “The next game saw us draw out Garden Suburb who play in the same division as

the Terrace this season and we took out the game 5-1.” “This Wednesday night we have drawn a home game Adamstown Rosebud who play in the Newcastle 1st division (NBN Premier League),” he said. Adamstown sit three Divisions higher than the Lions, and It has been a while since a Newcastle Premier League side have had to come to the Terrace for a game and the boys are looking forward to the experience. Kickoff is 7pm at King Park and the club is hoping to get a decent crowd to support the boys during the game. Peter said, “The Terrace are having a great season so far sitting equal top position in First grade, our reserve grade is sitting in second position, and with the 4-0 win on the weekend, our third grade team has moved into 3rd position on the ladder.” A win in this weeks FFA Cup could See Raymond Terrace through to the semi finals with the final six teams from the Hunter Valley, along with two teams from North NSW.

Two teams will remain after the semi finals to represent NNSW football in the round of 32 teams Australia wide. This is where the A League teams come into the FFA Cup competition. Edgeworth, Broadmeadow Magic and Lambton Jaffas have previously represented the Newcastle region in the round of 32 Next Saturday 19 May, Raymond Terrace take on Cooks Hill United at King Park in the top of the table clash and match of the round. Third grade 11am, reserve grade 12.45pm and first grade 2.30pm. This will be a home game for the Lions, so they need a big home crowd to help get them through. The FFA Cup is a terrific competition as it allows the little guys to dream. To dream of not only going up against the professionals, but to even get one over on them. After all, this is sport we’re talking about. And if sport has taught us anything, it is that anything can happen.
