your race and it certainly doesn’t care about your age. The Leukaemia Foundation World’s Greatest Shave has been in existence for twenty years as of 2018, and it has raised millions to help the fight against blood cancer. Thousands upon thousands of people have shaved or coloured their hair in the name of this Charity to help science create a better future, a future where a blood cancer diagnosis doesn’t mean a long hard road ahead. Members of the NSW Police Force are certainly not immune to this terrible disease, nor are the members of their family. As such, members of the Port Stephens Local Area Command are taking the plunge and shaving their heads to raise money for a cause that is very close to all involved.

“Our intent is to highlight and celebrate this special Day and to support young women in our community to become leaders.” “When women support women we win and when women and men support women we all win.” A fundraising raffle was held, with all proceeds directed towards the Port Stephens Family and Neighbourhood Services. Prizes for an online auction were donated by local artist Ms Jenny Crozier to support the Chief Inspector Tony Townsend and Senior Constable Aaron Tull from Raymond Terrace Police Station, as well as Senior Constable Luke Rogers from Lemon Tree Passage Police Station will be having their heads shaved at 2pm at MarketPlace Raymond Terrace. Senior Constable Luke Rogers told News Of The Area, “My Grandmother and Aunty both died from cancer, and my Sisterin-Law had cancer but is thankfully in remission.” “Anything to help support the cause, even

community Group. Ms Swanson also spoke at the Breakfast, saying, “We do have terrific people from a terrific part of the world.” She also reminded those in attendance of the serious side to the need for an International Women’s Day, saying, “We have a responsibility to make our area a safe one for women.” “The fastest rate of homelessness is women aged over 55.” “In a country like Australia, that is unacceptable.” Speaking at the event,

if it is just to give a small donation, because every little bit helps.” Chief Inspector Tony Townsend told News Of The Area, “l was diagnosed with Leukaemia in 2013 and spent twelve months in hospital undergoing chemotherapy, and also received a bone marrow transplant.” “Senior Constable Aaron Tull’s young Daughter Amelia also suffered from Leukaemia in 2012 and had extensive treatment, and thankfully we are both in remission now.”

Principal of Hunter River High School, Mrs Debbie Dibley gave a powerful personal testimony of her experiences as a young woman and overcoming adversity to become an Educational leader. Mrs Dibley told the School Student leaders and others in attendance, “My message to my students is, education provides focus and education truly changes lives.”

“All three of us have been living and working in the local area for many years. For example, I first moved to the area back in 1988,” he said. “We’re locals trying to generate some local support to give any financial assistance that can be given, to allow further research to help prevent and cure this disease which will in turn save many lives,” Chief Inspector Townsend added.

Mother to Ava Da Silva, told News Of The Area, “What I loved about this event was that we had two Minis and two Classics come together to put the competition aside and work towards a common goal which is raising awareness for four important Charities.” “Krystal Rose is a young girl with a heart of gold, and we were honoured to have been invited up from Sydney to attend.” “Ava considers her to be her best friend, aka sash sister,” she said. Ava Da Silva told News Of The Area, “I love spending time with Krystal Rose, and even though we are in the competition together and have to verse each other, she is my sash sister, my best friend and I can’t wait to go to Brisbane with her to show everyone what NSW has got.” News Of The Area wishes these four young ladies all the best at the next level of their competition, and congratulates them on their healthy approach to competition.

Cheap Asian labour was cited as the reason,” he added. “Where to next?” we asked the dynamic duo. Judy said that England was the next item on their ‘bucket’ list as she had always yearned to visit the Roman city of Bath. Geoff, a local cricket legend in his heyday, wants to check out Lord’s Cricket Ground where many an Ashes Test has been played. “The ‘Long Room’ there is open to the public out of season and its a virtual museum of portraits and cricket memorabilia,” he said. Judy still has a passion for the outback as she believes that Australia is ‘the greatest country on Earth’ and advised that their next planned safari will be a journey along the Oodnadatta track in SA.

JUDY and Geoff Camm have recently returned from a two month odyssey across the Nularbor in their caravan. The primary reason for the journey was to visit a son in the WA wheatbelt but they had many interesting adventures off the beaten track as Judy explains: “We were most impressed by the painted silos in the wheat growing regions and a remote god-forsaken place in SA had a deserted camping spot where a ‘coin in the slot’ honour system turned the power on!” “New Norcia in WA is actually owned by a Religious Order and is more or less self
