Rotary Trees making a difference By Rachael VAUGHAN THE Rotary Club is nothing if not Ambitious. Their project this year is to save the planet. In our beautiful Riverside Park in Raymond Terrace, a tree planting ceremony took place this week, with some special guests. Scot MacDonald MLC, Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer and Port Stephens Council General Manager Wayne Wallis came together with Rotary District Governor Helen Ryan to plant a tree for a very special cause.

WHERE TO GET YOUR PAPER

Rotary Trees making a difference Rotary has asked each of its 1.2 million members to plant a tree by Earth Day, the 22 April 2018, to make a significant statement about the importance of building a sustainable environment and the need to address climate

change. District Governor Helen Ryan told News Of The Area, “The planting of this tree is to let everyone in our community know that Rotary intends to make a difference when it comes to

Dear Jasminda,

Skyla on her way to Stardom Skyla Conlon has been building on her love of performing, drama and music, and perfecting her skills, from a very young age.

By Rachael VAUGHAN

SKYLA Conlon has been building on her love of performing, drama and music, and perfecting her skills, from a very young age. She has just added a unique experience to the portfolio, being cast in an exhibition piece that will be played indefinitely in the High Court of Australia. The video is an information documentary style short film about the constitution of Australia, and will run on a repeating loop in a purpose built theatre at the high court in Canberra. The theatre and film will open the the public on 9 April and be open to anyone who visits the venue, including school groups. Skyla attends Hunter School of Performing Arts as a drama students and this is

her first professional casting Skyla’s love of acting began with public speaking in her junior primary years, where she realised straight away it was something she loved. Her mother and father thought she might enjoy drama classes, so in year 2 she started at the Young People’s Theatre. Skyla told News Of The Area, “I love everything about drama, simply being on stage performing and the buzz everyone feels before every show, or the sense of accomplishment I feel after every show.” This is Skyla’s first paid and on camera role, but she has already performed in quite a few musicals. Skyla said “Some of my favorites so far have been Cinderella and winnie the pooh, which I did with Young People’s Theatre, and

Hairspray and Grease with Harvest Rain.” Skyla’s Mother Samantha keeps an eye on jobs that come up, and she will keep auditioning in the hopes of more work like this role. Skyla remarked, “I have 2 auditions coming up this month, my schools musical Little Mermaid and my drama schools production of Pinocchio.” Skyla thoroughly enjoyed her first on camera experience, telling News Of The Area, “I loved having a hair & makeup artist, I also loved my costume and working on set at the NSW Rail Museum.” “I felt very special because the production company paid for all our accommodation and all our food.” “Overall, it was such a great experience, and I cannot wait to do it again,” she said.

My husband watched a movie recently about two men who knew they were close to death and therefore created a bucket list. Now he has this grand idea that we should do the same. He wants to go snorkel diving with stingrays, climb snow capped mountains and various other things we have no time or money for. I’m at a loss as to how I should deal with this. Please help! Mrs HA, Bagnalls Beach Dear Mrs HA, Good Lord. Okay, initially I thought this was a bit of a disaster. On closer inspection, I now realise that you have been offered a blessing in disguise. Many of us get stuck in a rut, Mrs HA. We work, we buy things we don’t need with money we don’t have, we gossip about people who don’t deserve to be gossiped about, and we complain about first world problems such as having to scan our own grocery items. These are not problems; they are reminders that we have the capacity to make choices in a country that is relatively prosperous and laid back. I don’t want to get all Louise Hay on you and start chanting affirmations, but health is the number one priority. Anything else is a bonus. If you and your husband are well enough to swim with stingrays or dance up and down alps like the Von Trapp family, I say go for it. Don’t wait until you get a poor diagnosis like the characters from your movie. The other advantage is that your husband has watched what seems to be an inspirational, feel good, family-friendly flick. Now if he’d watched Pulp Fiction, he may be suggesting that you snort coke and become hitmen. Or if he’d watched Vikings, maybe you’d need to go through your kid’s dress-up box for some faux fur and swords. What if he’d been inspired by Forrest Gump and you had to run for miles and/or buy a prawn trawler. I reckon you’ve gotten off pretty lightly, Mrs HA. Make the most of it. Carpe diem, Jasminda

extensive range of radio hits. Using guitar, vocals and a range of harmonicas, James beats out each song with passion and enthusiasm that is unique, all through a state of the art sound system. James has and will continue to cater for a huge list of venues week after week. From wall to wall crammed pubs to laid back cafes and functions for all

ages. James fell in love with Music at the age of 12 or so and begged his parents for guitar tuition. Jamie said, “I thankfully had a disciplined tutor who taught strict reading music much to my disappointment at the time, but as soon as I began playing, I was writing my own music and lyrics.” The love for music became permanent, and Jamie longed to make it his career. Jamie said, “As life went on I became frustrated with

the mundane working to pay the bills life and left my job to pursue my dreams, and I haven’t looked back.” “I have never given up on this dream and now here I am doing it.” “I am truly doing this for myself but I dearly hope you enjoy it,” he said. Nelson Bay Bowling Club is a venue that has something for everyone, and it’s the place to be this weekend if you want to enjoy a relaxing night out.

Notification of proposed upgrade to a nbn™ Radio Network Base Station Facility at Williamtown The National Broadband Network (nbn™) is a high speed broadband network designed to reach 100 per cent of national premises and provide the communications infrastructure to prevent Australians from falling behind in an increasingly online world. nbn™ is committed to delivering leading edge broadband services to all Australians by leveraging the three available types of technology – fixed line, fixed wireless and satellite, depending on location. As part of the fixed radio (wireless) component of the Network, nbn™ is proposing to install one (1) parabolic dish antenna, eight (8) panel antennas and twelve (12) remote radio units on the existing AUSGRID facility in Williamtown. nbn™ regards the proposed installation as a Low-impact Facility under the Telecommunications (Low-impact Facilities) Determination 1997. As such, it does not require planning approval from Port Stephens Council. For general info on the nbn™ email info@nbn.com.au or visit www.nbn.com.au Further information on this specific proposal can be obtained from Jack Rixon at jack.rixon@aurecongroup.com or on 02 9465 527 or Closing date for public comments will be 22 March 2018

Boy of many talents By Rachael VAUGHAN

IRRAWANG High student Rhys Stewart is one of those people who are full of surprises. Not to mention full of many talents. Rhys has only just started his time in high school after commencing Year 7 earlier in the year, but he hasn’t wasted any time. He has already represented Irrawang High School at the Zone and Regional Swimming Competitions, competed in the NSW All Schools Triathlon and successfully auditioned for Irrawang High’s famous Drum Corp. Sport has always been a big part of Rhys’ life, playing for the Raymond Terrace Roosters Junior Rugby League Club for the past seven

media@newsofthearea.com.au

years as well as being part of Mount Kanwary Public School’s State Swim team last year. However, his interest in triathlon has only been a recent development. Rhys has been a member of the Tomaree Tri Club, and participating in Club races, for the past two years. Funnily enough, the NSW All Schools Triathlon has been the longest race Rhys has competed in. Rhys completed the course, consisting of a 400m swim, 10km bicycle leg and a 4km run, in a time of 49 minutes and 42 seconds. If that wasn’t impressive enough, now Rhys is shaving his head as part of the World’s Greatest Shave. Rhys is shaving his head on Thursday 15 March at the Lakeside

Rhys Stewart is always on the go.
