q Finalist Judge Beverley Rabbitt perusing entries.

AFTER exhaustive deliberation, the preliminary judges have come up with the top 21 finalists for this year’s Port Stephens Literature Awards.

Some nine judges read the entries and then have a round table discussion (sometimes rather heated) about the ones which impressed them.

A short list of 20 is then chosen.

This year they selected 21 as it was just too hard to reject one of them.

These short stories are now in the hands of the three finalists’ judges who independently rate them from one to 21. The points are then added up to decide the winners

Proposed modification to the AGL Newcastle Gas Storage Facility Notice of public exhibition of environmental assessment AGL Energy Limited (AGL) have submitted an application to modify the Major Project Approval MP10_133 for the Newcastle Gas Storage Facility.

The proposed modification is for onsite modifications of the facility that will include allowing AGL to connect to the local gas network and some some minor changes to the infrastructure and operations at the NGSF. An environmental assessment has been conducted, and specialist reports have been prepared on the impacts of the proposed modification including on air quality, noise, and hazard and risk. These assessments found that the existing environmental safeguards and mitigation measures are sufficient to manage the potential impacts of the proposed modification.

Information on the application, environmental assessment and how to submit a response, can be found at: Web: http://bit.ly/2zSNd8N Port Stephens Council, 116 Adelaide Street, Raymond Terrace Department of Planning and Environment, 320 Pitt Street, Sydney Public exhibition will be held between Friday 3 November 2017 until Friday 17 November 2017.

q Ron and Joan West who said “It will be great to have a newspaper all about Raymond Terrace.”

Dear Jasminda,

What is the arrangement for bill-splitting? Whenever we go out as a group, there’s always someone who orders up big and then we pay for it. What is the delicate way to arrange this?

Miss JV, Tea Gardens THIS is a fraught situation, Miss JV. People fall into all sorts of categories when it comes to dining out.

We all know the hand-sitters. When the time comes to pay, these types literally sit on their hand, perhaps concerned that their appendage will take on a mind of its own and try to offer some money towards the meal.

One step up from the hand-sitters, are the wallet openers. They open and close their wallets as though this equates to getting out some cold, hard cash, but they pause long enough for someone else to say, “Hey, I’ve got this.”

Then we have the faulty-carders. They flash around their credit card, and then realise it has expired. “I’ll get it next time,” they offer, as you go to the teller to withdraw more money and wonder why you didn’t stay home and watch Netflix.

How about the couples who order delicacies for their child? Yep, because we all know how much kids love deepfried coconut prawns. The little treasure will just push around their rice, add a bit of slobber, make the meal inedible, and then you’ll end up paying for it.

But wait, there’s more. We can’t forget the couples who forget to bring any wine, but are incredibly grateful that you are happy to share the $80 bottle of plonk you’ve been saving for a special occasion.

And hey, since you’ve only managed one glass (they are fast drinkers) you may as well be the designated driver.

It’s a win-win!

Finally, who can forget the hair-finder. Yep, this person will happily devour their entire meal, but on the last piece of lettuce, they’ll find a hair, probably their own, and then make a scene in front of the poor wait staff who earn $8 an hour for the privilege of serving people tighter than a fish’s . . . let’s just go with a fish’s mouth.

So there you have it.

To avoid these scenarios, I would suggest avoiding people at all costs, but if you must dine out, go to one of those places where you place your order at the counter.

Arrive early and never, under any circumstances, be the last one standing.

Sometimes you have to beat people at their own miserable game.

I’m back!

Jasminda.

PBL Winners

By Rachael VAUGHAN THIS week’s PBL winners are a deserving group of students, striving to be their best.

The PBL program, which stands for “Positive Behaviour for Learning” is a behaviour program in all five Raymond Terrace schools, that concentrates on rewarding good behaviour and not focusing on the less than positive.

It is run in other schools across New South Wales, and has been met with wonderful results and feedback.

Around three years ago, it was decided to move PBL out into the community and publicly reward the students on a weekly basis at the MarketPlace shopping centre.

News Of The Area will feature the winners each week within our publication, giving further public acknowledgement of the efforts of these students.

This week’s winners are; Jayden Maidstone, Hunter River High School - Awarded for his community spirit and thoughtfulness.

After being awarded overall winner for the Youth of the Year competition, Jayden kindly offered one of his prizes to the runner up.

Tyson Henderson, Irrawang High School - For displaying PBL expectations by always completing his work, showing readiness and enthusiasm to learn and always helping his maths teacher Ms Ryan.

Ashlea Hennessy, Irrawang Public School - For being honest and returning money that she found to the

Vines exhibition officially open to the public on 11 November.

Peter told News of the Area, “Art in the Vines has developed into a significant exhibit these days, with many, many people looking forward

to the event.”

“I know different business and corporations, like Hunter New England Health, go along and purchase works to place in their businesses.”

In a special experience,

The function featured traditional Aboriginal dances and songs, as well as an official Welcome to Country.

Peter is proud of his family and their cultural connection to their art.

He told News Of The Area, “The biggest influence on me was a great artist, my late Auntie Gloria.”

“My works are based on stories that have been told by Elders and also from

recollections from dreams.”

“I am a very spiritual person and in tune with my environment, so I like to reflect that in my paintings,” he said.

It should be noted that all exhibitions at Art in the Vines are for sale.

So, if you consider yourself an art lover, you may well end up taking home one of Peter’s masterpieces.

Or you may just end up seeing one in a Doctor or politician’s office near you.

They play wirelessly which allows them to step off the stage to take the performance to you, so don’t be surprised if you turn around and you’re toe tapping and singing along with a guitarist or two.

The band told News Of The Area, “One thing is for sure

when Soundabout hit the stage at Seabreeze Hotel there will be ‘dancin’ and singin’ and moving to the groovin’.”

“Get your dancing shoes on Nelson Bay, Soundabout is coming for you!”

Soundabout will play at the Seabreeze Hotel, Stockton Street Nelson Bay on Friday 10 November.

They will take to the stage from 8:30pm.

Soundabout is ready for a great gig at the Seabreeze Hotel.

Operation Christmas Child

By Rachael VAUGHAN

A RECORD number of Christmas appeal boxes are leaving a Raymond Terrace church, with the sole purchase of making sure some very special children have a wonderful Christmas.

The Hunter-Barrington Presbyterian Church in Adelaide Street, Raymond Terrace has participated this year in the Samaritan’s Purse ‘Operation Christmas Child’ appeal.

They have filled over 130

boxes with presents, love, prayers and encouragement for children.

The Samaritan’s Purse ‘Operation Christmas Child’ appeal is the largest of its kind and has delivered more than 135 million shoeboxes of love since its inception.

Their goal this year is to deliver 370,000 gift-filled boxes to children in seven nations.

In many cases, the children receiving these boxes may not have ever received a present, and the impact that

can be made from such an experience is immeasurable.

Boxes have a list of requirements to include, as well as cards, notes of encouragement and prayers being suggested as great additions before the boxes are packed.

Each box needs to include something from each of the six categories of; Something to wear, something to play with, something for school, something to love, something special and something for personal hygiene.

Donators are asked to consider that one of these items be a ‘wow’ item that a child would not ever have had, like a soccer ball or doll.

Church representative Vanessa Tso told News Of The Area, ‘We have been so humbled by how many people from the church and the wider community have been willing to help out a child in need.”

“We are so excited to send these boxes off and make sure these children feel our love at Christmas time.”

55 players took part BOWLING

Tea Gardens Men’s Bowling Club

By The JAFFA TEA Gardens Men’s Bowling Club News 1 November The Club welcomed seven visitors today for the weekly Nominated Triples competition.

q Hannah White, Lauren Tso and Alistair Tso with just some of the 130 boxes going overseas this week from Raymond Terrace.

It was great to see some old mates from Karuah competing as well as Eric Robb from Wyong BC. They are welcome anytime!

All in all 55 players took part on a beautiful spring day.

There were five teams that managed two wins.

It did not take Mark Hair long to get back into the winners circle.

He anchored the winning team along with partners, Ken Devlin and Col Amos.

(Some say he acquired a French accent whilst over in gay Paree).

3 November The Friday Open Jackpot Pairs has been replaced for the time being with “Five Dollar Friday”.

The organisers felt that we were not attracting enough bowlers to host a jackpot event.

It remains however as an “open” competition with both men and women able to participate.

The cost of competing has been reduced to $5.00 for a trial period and if this attracts sufficient numbers some prizemoney will be considered.

Terrace urged

to try AFL

By Rachael VAUGHAN

LOOK out Raymond Terrace, there’s a new sport in town.

When you think of football in Raymond Terrace, you automatically think of Rugby League.

But as has been the case in many Rugby League heartland areas, the emergence of Australia’s native game is starting to be felt.

Australian rules football has arrived in the Port Stephens area, and it won’t be going anywhere.

The Port Stephens Power Football Club is open for business for those who are wanting a change from Rugby League, and are ready to welcome them into the Aussie Rules fold.

For the uninitiated, Australian rules football is a

12

lot more than just ‘aerial ping pong’.

It is a highly skilled and tough sport to play, yet it is a very enjoyable and satisfying team game to be a part of.

With the team spread all over the oval playing field, each member has to do their job for the team to be victorious.

Port Stephens Power have an open age Women’s team and junior teams for both boys and girls.

The Women’s team are currently training in preparation for a strong 2018 season in the Newcastle/ Hunter competition. However, they are always looking to new players willing to try their hand at a new sporting experience.

Port Stephens Power club President Mel Nelson is also a

member of the Women’s team, “We are always looking for players and it really doesn’t matter if you have played Australian rules before, as long as you are willing to learn and prepared to have a

real go, we’d love to see you at training.”

Club Vice President Beau Pitcher believes Port Stephens Power can give the local area a true sporting alternative.

“I think once the people

of Port Stephens experience a live game of Aussie Rules, they’ll be hooked.”

“There really is nothing like it. it’s non-stop, it’s fast and it’s full of skill,” she said.

out more, Women’s training is already in full swing, and is held at Ferodale Oval each Tuesday at 5pm.

Juniors will recommence in the new year.
