has been delayed yet again,” said Ms Washington. “Instead of the two year completion date promised by the Premier, it’s likely to take another seven or eight years,” Ms Washington said, “The people of Port Stephens have a right to feel ripped off by this budget.” Treasurer Dominic Perrottet has stated that the Government was “absolutely committed” to its election promises and funding would flow to some of the projects around Port Stephens in the coming years.
Infrastructure Statement and the collection tin has been sealed shut with no funds allocated over the next four years.” “As well as the Link Road the promised $275 million for the Nelson Bay Road duplication wasn’t allocated in the Budget, and only $37 million has been allocated this year leaving Ms Washngton ready to shirtfront the NSW Government on funding prioritisation and expanding timeframes.” “Unbelievably, the duplication of Nelson Bay Road

third traineeship. TAFE NSW students won three of a possible six individual awards on offer at the Training Services NSW event, held at NEX in Newcastle’s CBD. The others were Apprentice of the Year and School Based Apprentice/Trainee of the Year. Another 12 TAFE NSW students were finalists. Kaitlin said, “Winning this award is an amazing opportunity and ridiculously exciting.” “I greatly appreciate having the opportunity to undertake my traineeships with Port Stephens Council. I would like to thank
the Council and TAFE NSW, especially my supportive team members and teacher. “My advice to others is if you have an opportunity to do a traineeship then undertake one even if you don’t quite know where you want your career journey to go. At first I wasn’t sure and now I’m onto my third traineeship and doing my Diploma in Human Resource Management. “It’s definitely helped me make decisions around what I am passionate about and what career path I want to take. And my TAFE NSW experience has been really, really good. I have

thoroughly enjoyed going every week.” TAFE NSW Regional General Manager, Susie George has congratulated the region’s “training champions” on their impressive performance. “TAFE NSW is proud of the winners’ achievements and confident that the exciting learning opportunities we created for them helped develop the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their career,” Ms George said. “Being able to access and continue with high quality education and training is a key factor in students securing a solid job and becoming an effective member of the workforce. Employers look for currency of knowledge and practical, hands-on
experience for their employees, and that is something I can proudly say TAFE NSW provides. “It’s incredibly rewarding for our staff to watch students like Kaitlin grow, in the knowledge that the skills and talents they learn with us have the potential to transform their lives.” The annual Training Services NSW event recognises and rewards the outstanding achievements of vocational students and demonstrates the extent of quality in the vocational education and training sector. The winners of the Hunter Training Awards will be considered for the NSW Training Awards, to be held in Sydney in September.

Awarded for Positive Conduct Colleen Mulholland-Ruiz of MarketPlace Raymond Terrace told News Of The Area, “MarketPlace Raymond Terrace believes that teaching the students PBL is definitely a way of teaching the children well and letting them lead the way to a better future for us all. “It has brought the younger and older generation together to understand and respect each other,” she said. The responsibility, compassion, respect and citizenship of these students is exemplary.
q The proud MarketPlace Raymond Terrace PBL winners.
Community Learning for Community Gain By Heather SHARP
THURSDAY night shoppers at MarketPlace Raymond Terrace are familiar with the weekly award session of primary and high school students. Located in the food court, each week participating schools nominate a student for a PBL—the short form of Positive Behaviour for Learning— Award. News Of The Area
covers this weekly award and many school students have been the proud recipient of the award. Nine schools from the local area participate in the program and the profiles of each student winner can be read at MarketPlace Raymond Terrace throughout the week of their nomination. Positive Behaviour for Learning is so much more than a weekly award, though. It is one of the products of schools getting together in the
area to create a community. Ms Stacey Mathieson, Irrawang Public School Principal spoke to News Of The Area about this great program. She said, of a recent meeting of participating schools, P&Cs, staff, and community members, “We met to learn more about Community PBL and how we can help our youth to become the best they can be.” “Thank you for the wonderful hospitality of
Irrawang High School.” “Together we can assist our kids to reach their full potential: everyone, everywhere, every time.” A focus of Community PBL is safety, trust, acting responsibly, and respect. Ms Dana Fuller, Directory Educational Leadership Port Stephens Principal’s Network said, “This innovative and collegial approach to student wellbeing in the great public schools in the Raymond Terrace area brings a local
stamp of high quality.” “It is highly responsive and engaging for the school communities served by each of these schools and their principals.” “Ongoing collaboration and planning has generated a unified strength, which reinforces the important student-centred message that students are truly known, valued and cared for in their schools and across the community.” Local community member,
Ms Tara Bell, a Manager at Raymond Terrace Bowling Club thinks highly of the program, telling News Of The Area, “From the time that PBL commenced to now, we have noticed a significant change in the behaviours of the local school children who frequent the venue for school sport and social time with the family.” If you want your school to be involved in Community PBL, speak to your Principal or P&C about joining.

Gropers Retain Ben Clarke Shield SPORT By Mitch LEES
THE Ben Clarke Memorial Shield has been retained by the Nelson Bay Gropers against University on a day that saw the local community come together to celebrate Ben’s life, his contribution to the club and rugby on the peninsula. The Gropers handed the students a 31 to 12 defeat in front of a packed Groperdome that witnessed some dazzling passages of play in trying conditions. John ‘Stinker’ Clarke, Ben’s father and founding member of the club along with wife Ella, said the day was about the display of some fantastic
rugby and sharing memories with friends new and old. “Today is in memory of our son Ben who was a very keen committeeman, he loved rugby and all those who played the game,” said Mr Clarke. “This is the 15th year of the shield and we are just so proud to share the day with the Gropers and Uni.” The match saw the Gropers troubling Uni early in the forwards but it was Michael Hotene at outside centre that drew first blood courtesy of some slick footwork by Chad Northcott.. Northcott added the extras and the Gropers went out to a lead 7 to 0.

The Gropers scored another two tries with Northcott having a hand in both to take the score to 19 to 0 at the break. The second half saw much of the same with prop Cameron Rowse displaying some wizardry to juggle and regain a slippery ball to cross the chalk. Northcott again slotted the extras to make it 26 to 0 with Uni looking just about ready to towel off and grab the talcum powder. Uni’s respite was around the corner when the students managed to crack the Groper’s line and added the extras to make it 26 to 7. The Gropers came home with a wet sail as Emerson ‘Baby John’ Burgess crossed on the back of some lightning backs play to make it 31 to 7. Uni grabbed a consolation try in the dying moments but the damage was done. The final score 31 to 12 as the teams and the community came together in the postmatch engagement to celebrate Ben’s life. The Gropers play Merewether Carlton at Townson Oval this Saturday. Kick-off from 12pm.

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 media@newsofthearea.com. au and include your title, initials and suburb. Dear Jasminda,
I’ve been invited to a divorce party and I’m unsure about an appropriate gift. Any ideas? Mrs GK, Hawks Nest
Will converting a room be detrimental to my sale price? WE have a 4bedroom home. The children have left home and I have been considering making one of the bedrooms into an art room for myself. I am worried that this will decrease the value of our home when it comes time to sell though. Do you think that 3bedrooms will be less desirable and therefore less valuable than a 4bedroom home? I would suggest that converting a room to suit your current needs is perfectly fine and sensible, but I would strategically change it. I believe that 4 bedrooms are more widely desired. Of course, there are always exceptions to any rules and this one will depend on the purchasers budget & age bracket, but in my experience, often, more bedrooms are better than less when it’s time to sell. Whatever the chosen usage ie office, walk in robe, craft room etc ensure that you don’t make structural changes. If you require shelving & partitions for example, make them all mobile and therefore easily removed. This ensures that you can easily dress it back up as a 4th bedroom once it becomes time for you to sell.
Quilts with Heart By Marian SAMPSON
“Fiddle Quilts are helpful as they can calm and reduce anxiety, as well as providing hours of stimulation,” she said. Studies in care homes have shown that quilts that have embellishments such as zippers, loops, buttons, and laces are beneficial because they can be constantly played with, with different textures to feel, things to open and close to keeping hands busy promoting wellbeing. The quilts are the size of one’s lap. While being warm and cosy these handcrafted quilts are also bright and colourful.
THE Port Stephens Community Arts Centre’s quilting group are currently exhibiting alongside a Large Canvas Exhibition. The quilts on show have been designed to put warmth into your home or bedroom. Members of the Thursday patchwork group made 5 fiddle quilts to donate to Harbourside Nursing Home. Meryl Miller told News Of The Area, “Member Sue George presented these quilts to Bill the activities lead at Bill King Aged Care Facility on behalf of our group.
Each quilt seems to have a piece of the makers personality sewn into every seam. The Arts Centre’s Patchwork Members enjoyed this project knowing that their work will make a difference. Anyone interested in expressing their creative side should take the time to visit the gallery and see the myriad of different arts and crafts which are created in the space. From abstracts and acrylic pouring to sculpture, quilling and fish prints there is an opportunity waiting for you. Admission to the Gallery is free, 10-4pm daily and is located on Cultural Close, off Shoal Bay Road near the Football fields.
Hope this helps Denise

OH Mrs GK, what a dilemma. As if it isn’t difficult enough to choose gifts for birthdays, weddings and festive occasions. Now we have to add divorce presents to the list? Is it really necessary to buy a gift, or can you all just throw in some cash and buy her a new husband? How about a timeshare husband? A blow-up husband? Does she even want another husband? Probably not in the short term. Now let’s assume that your friend was once very much in love with her ex. I think a degree of diplomacy may be in order, particularly if there are children or incomplete divorce settlements involved. How about a selection of movies? Under the Tuscan Sun? How Stella Got Her Groove Back? He’s Just Not That Into You? . . . okay, maybe not that one. Or you could think of some of the things she is now missing in her life. Why don’t you go around to her house and pop a wet towel on the bed to make her feel loved again. Or get some facial hair shavings and scatter them gently across the white basin and the mirror. While she is engrossed in a movie, play a YouTube clip at high volume. All these things will allow her to reminisce. You could gift her a massage. Not just any massage. This massage has to be done while watching Fox Sports, and it has to start off well, but then the masseur needs to get engrossed in the game to such a degree that your friend actually has to move her head back and forth against his still hand to gain any friction. Did you know there is a whole commercial range of products for divorcees from underwear that is embellished with the words ‘Just Divorced’ (a sure hit on a first date) to a ‘Grow Your Own Willy’ kit (note to self: delete search history). Or you could buy her the new-agey ‘Conscious Uncoupling’ book which will be a great antidote to all the vodkasoaked unconscious couplings she had during her marriage. Carpe diem, Jasminda

The Power were heavily disappointed with their performance against Terrigal and under some clear instructions from coaching staff to be competitive in all facets of the game pulled the

The Power went into the sheds at the main break with a 32 to 1 lead and from there they were determined not to let the Singleton side back into the match. The third quarter saw the
