TEARS of joy fell when local Raymond Terrace athlete, Ms Natasha Scott, won a gold medal on Day 5 at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games 2018. The Australian Women’s fours lawns bowls team beat South Africa 18-16 in the final to take out the gold medal. Held at the Broadbeach Bowls Club, a beautiful site overlooking the famous beach, for the first time in 12 years Australian lawn bowls won gold at a Commonwealth Games. The team made it to the finals after beating Canada in the semifinals in what proved to be a tightly contested match, with the Aussies winning 10-9 against the Canadians. Ms Scott spoke to News Of The Area, saying, “It is an unbelievable experience to be holding a gold medal with three of your good mates that are also your teammates.”
“We had a very tough games to get to the final and it didn’t get any easier in the final.” “Bring on the triples!” Australian coach and himself a former Commonwealth Games gold medallist, Mr Kelvin Kerkow admitted the home ground advantage helped the team, saying in a statement, “Broadbeach is where the players have been participating, practicing and trialling in all conditions.” Ms Scott who trains at the Raymond Terrace Bowling Club was supported by many fans who have been closely following all her games and sending well wishes to her up the coast; an effort that has paid off with the ultimate in Commonwealth Games glory, a gold medal, being attained. At the end of Day 5 competition, Australia was well ahead of the pack, and beating the traditional sporting foe, England to claim a medal tally of 106 which included 39 Gold, 33 Silver, and 34 Bronze.

Grandparents as Parents By Rachael VAUGHAN
IT is said that the best parents are promoted to grandparents, but sometimes those grandparents then double back and take on the role of parenting their grandchildren. The reasons for this can vary greatly from a death in the family, to the children being made wards of the state and placed in their care. The support these grandparents need is
so specific, and often it takes those in the know to be able to truly support another grandparent on their journey. The Grandparents As Carers support group (GAPS) was set up to offer support and friendship to some of these carers. With the mass over crowding of the child protection system, it is so easy for their carers to slip through the cracks, and miss support that they need. The GAPS group
meets on Friday mornings during school terms at the Anglican Church on Sturgeon Street, Raymond Terrace. They have been running for over ten years now Group member Gavin Breen told News Of The Area, “We just want grandparent and kinship carers to know we are here, and that they’re welcome to join us.” ‘We’re a friendly bunch, and there’s a lot of information and advocacy we can provide to help
you make the experience of raising these children much smoother.” “We can even help you advocate for yourself and the children with support services, agency meetings, child protection case management issues and legal battles,” he said. The group would like all new carers to be given a pamphlet about the GAPS group when they very first gain custody of their grandchildren. Many grandparent carers don’t even know the group exists. Families who had grandchildren for years
weren’t aware it existed, and reflect that they made huge improvements just on their knowledge base coming to the group. Local member, Kate Washington, is a strong advocate for the group, and is looking to help the group this year with bringing about change and awareness, Please feel free to drop down and chat with them, or just turn up to one of their weekly meetings and join in. For further information, please contact Claire Bell on 49831880.

ROAN Panther is a young man going places. More specifically, he will be on his way to Brazil this month after visiting China last year. How did he earn his ticket to travel to travel to these two exotic locations? Through the sport of futsal. Futsal, a variant of the sport of soccer, is played on a hard court which is similar in size to a basketball court and mainly played indoors. Futsal is also played with a smaller, harder ball which when combined with the harder surface, makes q Roan Panther, Irrawang High School student and Futsal star in the making.

controlling the ball a much more difficult proposition than the more traditional ball used in soccer. The result is a fast and skilful game that relies on a player’s imagination and creativity to create chances. In fact, futsal has been credited with providing the many skilful players with the foundation they required to go on and not only wear the yellow of Brazil in the Football World Cup, but to win the whole competition. Roan started playing Futsal after attending a school holiday camp 3 years ago. This experience led Roan to play socially in a competition held at Maitland and through this he decided to try out for the NNSW Futsal team where he won selection

And now, in just a couple of weeks, Roan will find himself in Brazil for another futsal adventure. Roan told News Of The Area, “My motto in life is ‘Strive for Greatness’, and it’s what I say to myself when I’m working towards goals.” “It’s my goal to continually improve, and I’m really excited for the next level Brazil is going to take me to.” News Of The Area wishes Roan the very best of luck with this representative tour.

Court Challenge Thrown Out By Margie TIERNEY AFTER months of uncertainty, Assistant Minister for Children and Families and Federal MP for Lyne Dr David Gillespie will not have to face a high court challenge over his eligibility to sit in Parliament. Labor’s Peter Alley had asked the court to consider whether the Nationals MP had breached the
constitution by accepting rent from a business with an Australia Post Franchise in a Port Macquarie shopping complex owned by Dr Gillespie. Dr Gillespie told News Of The Area, “It’s a big relief and a big dose of common sense by the High Court.” “Now that it’s not before the court, people have got to realise that there’s about four thousand Post Offices,
they are not public service, they are stand alone small business men and women who have a franchise deal.” Dr Gillespie was speaking during a visit to the Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens area to meet with local community groups. “It’s been kicked out of court 7 – nil and I can now go on serving the good people of Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens.”
Labor launched its challenge against Dr Gillespie in July of last year, after it was claimed the MP had a potential indirect financial interest in the Commonwealth which can be grounds for disqualification from Parliament under section 44(v) of the Constitution. Dr Gillespie recently sold off the shop at the centre of the legal action.

Jetstar on board with P-TECH HUNTER River High School students from the P-TECH program are kitted out in a flash new uniform, thanks to Greg Hutchinson and his team from Jetstar Airways in Williamtown. The team at Jetstar have provided each P-TECH student with a polo shirt that is worn with pride and maturity. Connor Opperman in Year 11 says, “It is such a privilege to be associated with P-TECH and having this uniform is absolutely brilliant.” Jetstar Airways are one of six committed partners in the Port Stephens pilot program, many of whom are keen for a career in the field after finishing school.

Watermark Launched By John SAHYOUN
Port Stephens, all of which relate to her writing. “I’m immersed in the local fishing business, so the coastal characters are a day-to-day feature in my life,” she said. “I write what I know, but I also write to find out what I don’t know, there is a point where imagination just takes over.” Watermark is published by major international book publisher, Simon & Schuster. “When I read coastal novels or short stories by other writers, they resonate with my own experiences and make me reflect on a coastal life,” Joanna said. “I hope this book does the same for others.”

WALKS along One Mile Beach and lots of tea helped Port Stephens writer Joanna Atherfold Finn realise her long-held dream of having her first book published. Watermark, containing a collection of short stories exploring relationships in coastal communities, was officially launched at the Newcastle Writers Festival last weekend. Joanna said many of the fictitious stories in her book were influenced by the coastlines of Port Stephens. “It was important to have that local connection to my area, and to
my area of interest,” she said. “The coast is never just a setting, it is also part of the story.” In front of hundreds of people who crammed into Newcastle City Hall for the launch, acclaimed author Robert Drewe described Watermark as having the “essential wow factor”. “This book has a rare and precise power that speaks to us and seems real, we recognise something of our own lives in it,” he said. From a boy with dyslexia who finds the right words in the ocean, a drifter and her son who discover the true meaning of home, to a widower coping with the aftermath of his wife’s death, each of the 11
interlinked stories reveal how people respond to the uncertainty and disorder of life-changing events. Much like the characters in her book, Joanna’s own life has taken many unexpected twists and turns, resembling the constant movement of the changing tides along the coastlines that captivate her. The turning point for Joanna was enrolling in a Communications degree as a mature aged student, reigniting her passion in creative writing and paving the way for Watermark, which came from the three and a half years she spent studying for her Doctorate. She now happily balances writing, family life and tutoring students with the abalone business she operates with her husband in
Greg says, “There are jobs, and these students are going to be our candidates.” “Local jobs for local people, so it is a win-win outcome,” he said. Adrian Smith is studying both Engineering and Aeroskills to broaden his opportunities and told Liana Nadalin, Industry Liaison Officer for Skilling Australia Foundation, “It feels inspiring to know that Jetstar Airways are willing to spend their time and dedication on students like us to help teach us the fundamental skills.” The new polo shirts are part of a uniform that all P-TECH students wear
each week, showing their fellow students that they are involved with this special program. Kerrie Howells from Hunter River High School told News Of The Area, “Our aim at Hunter River High School is to ensure P-TECH students are ready to promote themselves in the workplace and start the journey towards their future goals.” “From the P-TECH Team at HRHS, we say thank you Jetstar Airways and P-TECH Port Stephens for committing and investing into these students and their future goals.” “HRHS would also like to extend a big thank you to Ray and Stacey and the team at Twin Rivers Work Wear for supporting our school,” she said.

Dear Jasminda,
Top Shot Snapped KATERINA Poniris has been named as a finalist in the prestigious Moran Contemporary National Photographic competition and year 10 student couldn’t be prouder. “I am very shocked, but very excited that my photograph has been selected, it is such an honour to be recognised at this level,” she said Katerina’s work is amongst 25 photographs which made the final round of the contest in the Year 9-10 student category, selected from thousands of entries from across the country. Ms Poniris said she captured her photograph titled ‘Something About Phil’ during a family trip to Seal Rocks. “It was a completely natural shot,” she said. “I saw the opportunity and there was good lighting, Phil didn’t even realise I took the picture.” The young photographer has a folio bursting with thousands of photographs which clearly show her eye for capturing unique details. Katerina told News Of The Area a good picture “is
about lighting, composition and idiosyncrasy”. “Everything has the potential to make a good image, it is all about capturing that moment in time that will never again be repeated,” she said. Katerina is currently studying photography as an elective subject at school under the guidance of teacher Mrs Tara Smith. “Mrs Smith is an inspiration and has guided me through the creative processes, helping me develop my skills and individuality as a photographer,” Katerina said. “Photography is currently a hobby, but working
professionally in photomedia could definitely be an option for the future.” The Moran Contemporary Photographic competition recognises excellence in all forms of still photography across open and student categories. Photographers were invited to interpret “contemporary life in Australia” and the images selected as finalists feature a diverse range of subjects and locations from around the country. Winners will be announced by the Moran Arts Foundation on 8 May.

Miss AG, Salamander Bay Dear Miss AG,
DO you ever find yourself parked at traffic lights, or waiting to do a U-turn because despite the signs and the road blocks, you still think that you can turn right into Salamander Shopping Centre at that crazy intersection that nobody likes (except for one lone engineer with a quirky sense of humour) and you start singing, ‘Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage’? I do. I do this frequently, because, dear Miss AG, we are just rats, circling aimlessly on the spinning wheel of life and that spinning wheel involves lots of opportunities to buy celebratory presents for celebratory occasions, even when we don’t feel like it. Mother’s Day, though, is a bit of an exception. Mothers spend their lives doing things that aren’t a whole lot of fun. Sorting socks, cleaning, mowing lawns, waiting on the very uncomfortable seats at soccer training, holding down executive jobs, returning to make chicken soup with crusty bread rolls, joining committees, manning cake stalls, shuffling kids off to school, agonising over school assignments, starting paleo diets, stopping paleo diets, watching brain-dead shows at midnight because we are, quite literally, brain dead by that stage, and then waking up and doing it all again. And all we ask for, Miss AG, is a bit of a sleep-in on Mother’s Day, followed by a corny card written by someone who clearly doesn’t know the meaning of the word Thesaurus, and perhaps an egg on toast. Forget the sprig of parsley. Forget the ‘sunny-side-up’ request. We will accept just about anything, as long as you leave us there, in the comfort of our bed for at least one hour longer than usual. Carpe diem, Jasminda

THE recent Little Athletics State Championships, held at the Sydney Olympic Park, drew to a close the 2017 / 2018 athletics season. Raymond Terrace Athletics Centre had strong representation at the three day carnival with a record 22 athletes qualifying to compete in 44 events throughout the Championships. For some of these athletes, this would be their first taste of competition at such a high level against athletes from all over the state. With the Raymond Terrace Athletics Centre athletes putting in their best

performances for the season, numerous personal best results were achieved. At the end of the Championships, the Centre proudly came away with three hard-earned medals. Under 12 competitor Keira McGregor became the Under 12 long jump State Champion with a jump of 5.17m earning her the coveted gold medal. Keira almost came home with another medal, narrowly missing bronze in the triple jump event finishing a more than credible 4th. The athletics all rounder also managed to make the
final in two sprinting events finishing 7th in the 100m and 8th in the 200m. An amazing effort in anyone’s language. Another proud medallist was Under 13 representative Ebony Newton. Ebony won the silver medal in the 200m hurdles with an impressive time of 28.22 seconds. Ebony was also unlucky not to return home with a second medal after finishing a very respectable 4th in the 100m. The track star also made the final in the 80m hurdles, finishing a gutsy 6th. However, history was made by Under 15 representative Jack Kenny.

Jack will forever have the privilege of becoming Raymond Terrace Athletics Centre’s first Little Athletics State Javelin medallist winning silver with a distance of 48.10m. All in all, Raymond Terrace Athletics Centre’s 2017 / 2018 athletics season will be remembered as a very successful one, with the three medallists hopefully growing in number in the 2018 / 2019 season.
