at 43 metres tall and is formally recognised as Australia’s largest Norfolk Island pine.

But come December, the pine becomes the focal point for Christmas celebrations and is adorned with lights in a tradition that has been upheld since 1961.

The Norfolk Island pine tree in Apex Park, Nelson Bay will also have its lights switched on tomorrow.

Port Stephens Mayor Ryan Palmer says Council is proud to play a part in this annual tradition.

“It certainly wouldn’t be Christmas without the lighting of the trees! We’re extremely lucky to have such beautiful tall trees in both Raymond Terrace and Nelson Bay, and when the lights are switched on, they become a symbol of the Christmas spirit here in these communities,” Mayor Palmer said.

Mayor Palmer says that the lights can be seen from several kilometres away once illuminated.

“I’m told the Raymond Terrace tree is in the running for the tallest Christmas tree in the southern hemisphere, so it’s no surprise that it can be seen from the top of the Stockton Bridge when it’s lit up,” he said.

Greg Kable, Council’s Facilities and Services Group Manager, says a lot of hard work goes into decorating the towering Norfolk Island pines.

“With the help of Dwayne Hopper, or ‘Hopper the Lopper’ as he’s affectionately known, our Port Stephens Council electricians scale the tree to install the lights,” he said.

“It’s a lot more involved than lighting a regular Christmas tree through. The lights stretch out half a kilometre and literally weigh a tonne,” he said.

REPORTER q Josh showing his flexibility with his proud mum beside the pool.

By Geoff WALKER AFTER winning many gymnastics trophies including ‘Athlete of the Year’ Josh Thompson has his sights set on the Olympics.

The eight year old started early as mother Jade explains, “We lived in a house with polished floors and one day as a toddler he said, ‘Look mum!’ I turned around to see that he had done the splits! We steered him into gymnastics since the age of four and he hasn’t looked back.”

Jade trains weekly and performs the standard ‘six multi disciplinary routines’ of

adult male gymnasts.

The rings and the high bar are his favourites.

His seven major trophies include ‘Athlete of the Year NSW’; ‘Country Championship ‘ (two years running) and 5th in NSW. Josh also gained two firsts, a second and a fourth in the Grand Prix series.

On top of this he has been selected for a high performance training squad in Sydney.

“We are very proud of Josh, his dedication and his achievements,” his mother, and lifeguard at Tilligerry Aquatic Centre, remarked.

The Giving Tree WIN: Four Huge Events

By Rachael VAUGHAN YOUTH Pastor Connor Hall from the Salvation Army at Raymond Terrace attended Irrawang High School this week to officially launch their ‘Giving Tree’.

This wonderful initiative was launched by Connor, with assistance from School Leaders Georgia Sulis and Kyah Cox. The school has put a call out for non perishable items that can be used for food hampers for families the Salvation Army will be helping at Christmas Time, School leader Georgia Sulis told News Of The Area,

“We are looking for items such as non perishable food items, personal care items and toys both new and second hand ones in good condition.”

Youth Pastor Connor Hall commented, “These donations, along with hundreds of others, will be given as hampers to around 250 local families this year, up from 180 last year.”

“We are so grateful to school and community groups who get on board and help us achieve this.”

For every donation to the Irrawang Giving Tree, a raffle ticket will be given out by the front office staff at

Irrawang High School.

For example, five tins of baked beans will earn the person donating five raffle tickets.

Some great examples of items to donate include, Pasta, rice, canned vegetables, baked beans, peanut butter, vegemite, nuts, trail mix, diced tomatoes, sauces, flour, cooking oils, canned fruit, long life milk, and canned protein food like tuna, salmon, chicken and beef stews.

The donations will be collected by the Salvation Army from Irrawang High School on 13 December. q

THE holidays are almost upon us and it is time to start thinking about what to do over the break, how and where to celebrate with family and friends, and perhaps, even to think about what experiences your loved ones would like you to sneak into Santa’s stockings for everyone’s holiday enjoyment.

While Port Stephens is famous for its 26 beaches, there’s more here, than just sun, surf and sand.

There are plenty of great parks with BBQ’s which are perfect spots for family and friends to enjoy the summer.

Enjoy the great restaurant and dining options, sit back on the outdoor terrace at d’Albora Marinas at Nelson Bay and enjoy a sumptuous meal at the Rock Lobster Restaurant as you watch the boats on the Bay. If you haven’t already bagged the perfect gift for the ladies in your life you can’t go past pampering her with a massage, or even a series of classes at the Wellness Centre, choose from health services, life coaching, yoga, saunas and aromatherapy perfect for him or her.

Lee Clark, from Shades of Beauty said, “I recommend eyebrow waxing and a facial for her and perhaps a back wax and facial for him, schedule it for after the holiday shopping, and before the Christmas rush.”

Or book into Bay Beauty for a massage or a pedicure for perfect summer feet.

If you are looking for something cultural to occupy some time, consider wandering through the Port Stephens Community Arts Centre at Fly Point, checking out Sketchley Museum and watching a blacksmith demonstration while taking in some local history at Raymond Terrace, or visit the sculpture collection at Soldiers Point Marina.

It is also that time of the year when we need to make sure our pets are well looked after, summer sees an increase in fleas and ticks, Port Stephens Pet Warehouse has everything you need to make sure your furry friends have good protection, and while you’re there you can pick up some Christmas treats for those extra special family members with feathers, fur or fins!

Dear Jasminda,

I’ve been trying to think of an ideal present for my children’s teacher. Any ideas?

Mrs MM, Anna Bay Dear Ms MM, THE end-of-year festivities at schools throughout the region are an absolute joy for parents.

They start with a note about buying a secret Santa gift for a kid you’ve never met (present number one) and regress from there. There’s the ‘dress up as your favourite Christmas Carol’ and bring a gold coin event (a three-hour Kmart visit before you end up sending your child in a green T-shirt with baubles pinned to every inch of fabric because his “branches green delight us”. Then add 200 candy canes since Claudette wants to improve her social status by giving every kid in primary school a festive gift. Behold the end-of-year presentation where you get to see Jemima ChaseAugenstino receive the Academic Award for the fifth year in a row, while your little Benny gets the ‘Improved Anger Management’ certificate and Mrs Chase-Augenstino smiles at you like the cat that ate the cream bun and says, “Oh, what a lovely surprise for both of us.”

As someone who has many friends and relatives in the profession (bless their little cotton socks full of resilience and dedication), let me just tell you what they don’t want this year, in no particular order: a signed copy of The Complete Burke’s Backyard. A Donald Trump doll that says, “It’s fake news; Hillary did it; I will build a great wall” and various other gems when you pat his toupee. A mug that has been printed with a photo of your child (these gifts can be very off-putting to the teacher’s actual children when they visit on Christmas Day). Ten-year-old resource books that you found in your attic that you feel will be handy in the classroom (they won’t be). $100 in a brown paper bag in exchange for next year’s Academic Award for little Benny (teachers have strict moral codes that can’t be cracked). Finally, anything that they will have difficulty fitting in their car boot on the last day of school (though it is possibly fair payback for all the dog-eared books, paintings, half-chewed erasers, broken pencils and various other items that your child brings home from school on their last day).

You know, Mrs MM, you really can’t go wrong with a gift voucher and a heartfelt message from your child on a handmade card.

Carpe diem, Jasminda

Denise Haynes is the woman at the heart of the thriving & energetic all women Real Estate Agency - R & R Property.

The team currently consists of eight amazing ladies working together in a business to be proud of.

Denise is experienced and licensed in selling both Rural and Residential Real Estate and has not only trained extensively but has worked from the ground up within her Real Estate Career.

Always a champion for our region, she is well known for her community work and marketing skills. Of course R & R Property clients benefit from her marketing prowess as well as her passion for property, but so does the community, as it entices people to our gorgeous area.

Denise has been investing in property personally for many years and knows firsthand the emotional roller

coaster a property sale, purchase or tenancy can be.

She believes the reason why all women agencies are growing and are so successful is because they have a woman’s empathetic touch, yet maintain savvy hard working ethics.

You can find the R & R ladies at the Medowie Markets most months and they have recently been gold sponsors of the Morpeth Bulls Junior Rugby League Team (her brother Jason is the coach

and her nephew a team member) as well as the Seaham Public School Fete.

Many of our readers would already know Denise, being a student of Raymond Terrace Public school from kindergarten right through to High School (now known as Hunter River High).

She also spent many years working within her families business - H & D Timber & Hardware in Raymond Terrace and also the banking sector within Port Stephens and Great Lakes.

“I just love to promote our region! We are so blessed to have our gorgeous coastline through to our rural areas right on our doorstep. Seriously! What’s not to love and why wouldn’t we sing from the treetops about it?!”

“I own property in the Port Stephens coastal strip as well as within the Great Lakes region – truly the best of both worlds! When I’m not working within one of our Real Estate offices or on our rural proper-

One of the biggest changes I have seen is the huge percentage of people searching for their next Real Estate purchase online, which begs the question – are physical Real Estate office locations becoming a thing of the past?

Cheer Champ Georgia

By Rachael VAUGHAN

CHEER Champ Georgia Almond has added some more awards to her ever growing list of achievements in her chosen sport of Cheerleading.

The year eight student from Irrawang High School just returned from the National Dance and Cheer Competition held in Melbourne last week.

The competition saw over 10,000 athletes from 1400 teams across Australia compete in Dance and Cheer over three solid days of competition.

A fourth day was also held for the ‘Pinnacle Championships’.

Georgia was fortunate enough to be asked to compete in the invitation only Pinnacle

Championships, which sees the best of the best go head to head.

Her results at Nationals included two National Titles for Lyrical and Jazz in the dance section, and two National Titles for Level 2 Senior and Level 2 Open in Cheer.

Georgia also achieve National Grand Champion in Level 2.

In the Pinnacle Championships, she completed in various sections, and came away with a first in cheer, and a third in cheer.

Georgia’s mother Julie Almond told News Of The Area, “It’s nice to know the hard work, dedication and commitment her and the team have shown can turn into great

The Roosters will incorporate all junior levels of the game, whereas the Magpies will comprise of an A-Grade Men’s side, a second-

as well as the established Raymond Terrace Ravens Ladies League Tag team who are all ready to compete in the 2018 competition after a stellar 2017 season.

results on the floor.”

“What was more important was the unsolicited feedback from competitors and parents about the sportsmanship and humility that MCPD showed regardless of how they performed as a team.”

“We’re so proud of her,” she said.

Georgia has been training in Cheerleading for four years, and clearly has a great passion and talent for her chosen career.

Georgia and her team at MC Planet Dance have several exciting overseas trips and competitions coming up.

If any local businesses would like to assist with sponsorship, please call/email Mel Cosgrove on 0421961002.

in charge of the A-Grade side with Craig Murray coaching the second-tier team and Amy Walker calling the shots for the Raymond Terrace Ravens Ladies League Tag squad.

However, a lack of sponsorship threatens to affect the hopes and plans for the Magpies of attaining a Newcastle & Hunter Rugby League premiership before the season even begins.

Jeremy Cusack, the licensee of the Lakeside Tavern, told News of the Area, “We really need this new club to be supported by the local community.”

“The Lakeside Tavern is very excited to be a major sponsor, but even more support is needed.”

‘We’re putting the challenge out there to get other businesses on board to

join us and support the local footy,” he said.

New Magpies president Ben Callen from Medowie Meats echoes Cusack’s sentiment.

“It’s an exciting period for the club and we have big things planned for the year.”

“But at the end of the day, we just want the Club to be family oriented.”

“We want all the wives,

husbands, partners and kids to be involved, but then we also need the commercial support of local businesses to help us pull this off.”

Like all grassroots sports clubs, local financial support is vital for clubs to survive.
