ANZAC Day in Raymond Terrace

Sports Page 8 Defibrillators

Photos by Rachael VAUGHAN DESPITE a lot of worry and indecision over the rainy forecast and whether to move the Services inside on Anzac Day, the weather was kind to Raymond Terrace RSL Sub Branch, and aside from a couple of light showers, both Services were conducted with minimal impact from the weather. In fact, in some ways it added to the atmosphere on the day. Vic Jones, President Raymond Terrace RSL Sub Branch, told News Of The Area, “I am very appreciative of the support we had from the people of Raymond Terrace and surrounding districts in coming to each of the

services.” “Despite the threatening weather, our attendance numbers were up again for both the Dawn Service and the Main Service.” “That reflects the growing respect that people have for the service and sacrifices made by veterans from all wars over the past century,” he said. The contribution that

local schools in the area make to the Main ANZAC Day service is also very much appreciated and noticed. Children from seven local schools participated in various elements of the Service, ranging from reading prayers or poems, to emceeing a portion of the Service, and delivering the ‘Theme of ANZAC Address’. The ‘Last Post’ ceremony, introduced at last year’s ANZAC Day service, was also conducted again this year at each of the Services. One veteran whose name is etched into the stone of our memorial is selected to be specifically mentioned in

the Service and a short precis of his Service to the country is read out, and a photo of the individual is displayed at the memorial. Often descendants of the veteran being honoured also attend the Service as occurred this ANZAC Day. Vic Jones said, “We also conducted a ceremonial watering of the Gallipoli Lone Pine, located in ANZAC Park.” Many people are not aware that this symbolic piece of military history, seeded from an original tree located on the bloody battlefields where the ANZACs fought on the Gallipoli peninsula, is even present in the Park. Air Force Cadets from 335 Squadron, RAAF Base Williamtown, assisted in this part of the service. This year the Raymond Terrace ANZAC Day Main Service received the support of three new musical elements: Ms Kylee Beasley, Deputy Principal at Hunter River High School, did an

excellent job of sounding the bugle calls of the Last Post, Reveille, and Rouse, at the appropriate parts of each of the Services. The crowd certainly appreciated hearing these calls played ‘live’ rather than from a CD. This year a contingent from the Irrawang High School Drum Corps participated in the main ANZAC Day March giving the parade a consistent beat to march along to. It is hoped that their

participation will become a regular feature of the March in future years. Some 22 members of The Salvation Army Hope Community Choir provided musical support this year by singing songs to entertain the assembled crowd prior to the commencement of the service, and leading the singing of hymns and national anthems during the Main Service. Two truly moving Services, on such an important day.

The people of Medowie and Salamander Bay already know the value that these pages hold, now it is Raymond Terrace’s turn. We expect the same

amount of success from this new facility as the others. West Ward Councillor Giacomo Arnot told News Of The Area, “I’m glad that those of us from Raymond Terrace keen on recycling through this scheme no longer need to go

to Medowie or Thornton.” “I look forward to seeing many people at the machines and hope we all work together to keep the area clean and tidy.” Happy recycling, Raymond Terrace.

travel outside their township to ‘Return and Earn’. Muree Golf Club is the new home of Raymond Terrace’s own ‘Return and Earn’ facility ensuring residents no longer have to travel to locations such as Medowie, Thornton or even Salamander Bay. Without the need to drive to other places, the savings made through the ‘Return and Earn’ scheme will be a lot more worthwhile with the ‘savings’ earned through recycling no longer going toward the fuel bill required to use the facility. The ‘Return and Earn’ initiative by the NSW state government has been a real winner with approximately 270 million containers recycled across the state since December last year. Of course, this equates to $27 million having been returned to the NSW population in the space of only

five months. On a local level, the various ‘Return and Earn’ facebook pages administered by Raymond Terrace resident Nicholas McLaren has helped with the running of the reverse vending machines in the area. Nicholas started the pages in an effort to let the local community know when the facilities were ready to be used. Nicholas would report when the facilities were full and inoperable, as well as when they had been emptied to help people use their time efficiently. He had the idea after his son started collecting cans to raise money to go to a soccer camp in England through Premier League club West Ham, to make it easier to know when to go and when to wait for it to be emptied or less busy. With the unveiling of the ‘Raymond Terrace Return and Earn’ facility, Nicholas has already created the new page

Seaham ANZAC Service

RAYMOND TERRACE News Of The Area

The rain may have been falling but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the many attendees of the Seaham ANZAC Day service.

By Rachael VAUGHAN

THE rain may have been falling but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the many attendees of the Seaham ANZAC Day service. With the heavens opening up, it was decided that the Service would be moved from

the Seaham Knitting Circle Memorial to the School of Arts hall. Unfortunately, so many wished to pay their respects that not all could fit into the new venue. “The venue was very full with people having to stand outside the doors,” Scouts

volunteer Lisa Conroy told News Of The Area. “Seaham Scouts made a real difference to those who were unlucky to be outside by providing morning tea including amazing fresh scones with jam and cream and of course tea and coffee.” After the Service was

concluded, and the weather improved, wreaths were later moved to the Knitting Circle Memorial. The Knitting Circle Memorial is located one kilometre east of Seaham across the William River and consists of a ten-metre-tall flagpole and memorial plaque to commemorate the men from Seaham who enlisted in

World War One. It was built thanks to the fundraising efforts of the Seaham Knitting Circle ladies and is thought to be one of very few in the country that was created solely for the soldiers of World War One. However, the School of Arts hall it must be said, was a fitting rainy weather alternative venue.

The walls of the hall are decorated with items dedicated to the memory of those from Seaham and the surrounding area that served during World War One. It is fair to say that the township of Seaham will never forget about those who served. And neither will we. Lest we forget.

Veteran honoured IN their moving tradition of honouring veterans, the Raymond Terrace RSL Sub Branch this year took the time to acknowledge a special person amongst their distinguished guests during the wreath laying component of the main service. Mr James Page is a World War II Royal Navy and Royal Australian Navy Veteran. Mr Page joined the Royal Navy as an Electrical Branch sailor prior to the start of World War II. During the war, Mr Page served for a number of years in the Royal Navy Battleship HMS KING GEORGE V. During his time on board, the ship was involved in escort duties for convoys bound for Russia. It was deployed to the Mediterranean for operations against the Italian Navy, and it deployed to the Pacific to operate in concert

with US naval forces there conducting engagements against Japanese forces and the mainland, until the final surrender of Japan in 1945. Jim has some fascinating stories about his time on board this famous battleship which saw operations in three theatres of the war. After the war ended, Mr Page migrated to Australia and joined the Royal Australian Navy for several years, before discharging and moving to Raymond Terrace in the mid-1950s. Mr Page ran several businesses in the Terrace over the years, and also worked as a telecommunications technician until his retirement. There are only about 2,300 World War II veterans still living in New South Wales, and their average age is 94. Mr Page is one of those

veterans. At the Raymond Terrace ANZAC Day Main Service this year, Mr Page represented those remaining veterans to whom Australia owes a debt of gratitude.

Remembering Animals in War

By Heather SHARP

THIS week we feature former RAAF member and now Medowie local, Mr Ian Fletcher who served 16 years in the Australian Defence Force from 1979 to 1995. Last week, Mr Fletcher laid a wreath to honour animals in war, specifically the work of military dogs. News Of The Area spoke with Mr Fletcher to hear about his experiences. On the topic of RAAF dogs, Mr Fletcher said, “They are not just issued equipment, they are a formidable part of the team.” “As handlers we spent more time with our dogs than we did with our family.” “We put our trust in their hands, rather paws, as they put their lives and trust in us.” “It is a unique bond between handler and dog, a bond that can never be broken nor trust ever questioned.” “I believe that all animals of all conflicts should be remembered for their part as they all have, and continue to play an integral part in our military operations.” The purple poppy, an addition to the traditional red poppy commonly worn on Remembrance Day, commemorates animals who have served and died in conflict zones. Many animals are used for war service, such as horses, pigeon, camels, donkeys and arguably the most loyal of all, dogs.

q Ian Fletcher reflects on his service in the RAAF working with dogs. Mr Fletcher explains his respect for man’s (and, woman’s) best friend saying, “I joined the RAAF in 1979 and went on to be a RAAF Security Guard and Police Dog Handler.” “There were a number of name changes over the time including RAAF Police Dog Handler, before the ADF settled on the current name of Military Working Dogs.” “Our role was to provide security, emergency response, and intruder detection on RAAF Bases protecting aircraft and

military assets whilst also being deployed around the world.” “These days the dogs are sent overseas and are able to return.” “During my time and earlier times, due to quarantine laws our dogs were not returned home, so we often deployed overseas without the dog.” “To me, Anzac Day is more than just remembering my family, Great Uncle, Grandfather WWI, my Uncle who was a POW

NewsOfTheArea.com.au

Sandakan, and my father who served RAAF Special Wireless Unit, Central Bureau of Intelligence, it is also about remembering those who have made sacrifices and of course, those of our brothers and sisters that continue to serve.” “It’s also about acknowledging those who have returned, but may also continue with their own struggles.”

Defibrillators By Rachael VAUGHAN

PORT Stephens sporting clubs are headed towards a safer future, with the announcement of funding that will ensure nineteen more clubs across Port Stephens will soon have adequate access to a defibrillator in the event of an emergency. On 10 February 2018, a local cricket player collapsed during a game at Lakeside Sporting Complex, Raymond Terrace, having suffered a heart attack. The sports ground did not have a defibrillator, and had to request the assistance of a lifeguard at the nearby Lakeside Leisure Centre. Five days later, West Ward Councillor Giacomo Arnott put forward a notice of motion for all Councillors to support the

pooling of funds from Council and Ward funds to purchase a number of defibrillators to put across sporting centres in Port Stephens to ensure that future lives can be saved if needed. The motion was wholeheartedly supported by Councillors across the board, and the project was given a much needed cash boost this week with the announcement that the NSW Premier, The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP, has provided $4,400 in funding to Port Stephens Council to co-fund the purchase of four defibrillators for sports grounds across the Port Stephens LGA. Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald MLC, representing the Premier, met with Mayor Ryan Palmer and Cr Ken Jordan this week to announce the news. “Port Stephens Council will fund 50% of the cost in

conjunction with the NSW Government and I thank Cr Ken Jordan’s advocacy and the Council staff for their prompt action following the incident at Lakeside Sports Complex,” Mr MacDonald said. Mayor Ryan Palmer said the support was indicative of a strong and productive working relationship between Port Stephens Council and the NSW Government. West Ward Councillor Ken Jordan, whose ward encompasses the Lakeside Sports Complex where the incident took place said this was timely support in between rounds of the Local Sport Defibrillator Grant Program. The four new defibrillators will be put in clubs at Tomaree Sports Complex, Salamander Sports Complex, King Park Sports Complex and Lakeside Sports Complex.

These four complexes along service more than nineteen local sporting groups and clubs. Cr Giacomo Arnott, who lodged the initial notice of motion, told News Of The Area, ““I’m glad that the NSW Government has come to the table to support our sporting groups with access to these life saving devices.” “I know that our sporting groups desperately want these devices, so I hope Council will assist our local sports councils in obtaining devices for venues that still don’t have them.” Deputy Mayor Chris Doohan told News Of The Area, “It’s terrific to see some more Defib’s becoming available for our community.” “Medowie Sports Councils Committee some time ago worked to ensure that every single facility in Medowie is fitted with a defibrillator, so
