Happy birthday Lambton Public School! (from page 1) For Kindergarten teacher Kerrie Beavan the 150th anniversary is the culmination of a special project she has been a driving force for. Her family’s connection to Lambton Public School spans four generations. She herself has been both student and teacher. “I thought I could do something special for the school. I wanted to show all of Lambton not just the school community something of the area’s history.” Kerrie said. As you walk or drive past the school you will notice the railway carriage or coal hopper that has pride of place just inside the boundary. This 12-tonne installation acknowledges the coal mining heritage that is so much a part of early Lambton. According to Mrs Beavan “In the early 1860s there were a lot of local children who were not receiving any formal education, so the mine’s operators (Scottish) Australian Mining Company helped to buld the School’s first building. The carriage has been signwritten and bears markings reminiscent of a coal hopper that might have been used by Lambton Colliery in days gone by.

A council-owned building in Lambton Park that has been vacant for 12 months looks set to get a new lease on life. The Lambton Memorial Baby Health Centre on Elder Street, which is next to the Lambton Branch Library, was vacated by Hunter New England Health in September 2014. Council recently voted to support a Plan proposed by Councillor Declan Clausen and other Labor Councillors to allow for the adaptive reuse of the building. Council will now seek proposals from the public for alternative uses of the building including as a cafe or kiosk. The Plan compliments more than $550,000 in funding allocated to Lambton Park by Council for expenditure in the next twelve months. “Lambton Park is one of Newcastle’s most highly patronised open community spaces” Cr Clausen said. “My community supports its Park, and I’d like to see upgrades continue.” “This Plan will ensure that Council’s assets are utilised most effectively, for the benefit of the broad community” Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes said that the proposal will add value for Newcastle’s ratepayers. “Adaptive reuse of an empty facility is a win for the Lambton community, it’s a win for council and it’s a win for ratepayers.” Cr Nelmes said. “Empty buildings are costly to maintain. A new use for this facility will add value to Lambton Park, reduce costs for Council, and provide new options for visitors”. Lambton Residents Group chair, Nicola Hirschhorn said that “While it’s a real shame that the Baby Health Centre is no longer there for the families of Lambton, we are keen for this community asset to be put to good use.” “A member of our group had noticed that the building has been vacant for some months and was

Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes and Ward 3 Councillor Declan Clausen are keen for Council to look at adaptive reuse of the former Lambton Memorial Baby Health Centre worried that this lovely building would be lost or damaged. After a few contacts with Hunter New England Health and Council, Lambton Residents Group is pleased to see that something will be done. “The Baby Health Centre building is an icon of Lambton, and we hope it will be re-purposed for the benefit of our village community and for the people who enjoy Lambton Park and its beautiful environs.” Ms Hirschhorn added. Councillor Andrea Rufo who also represents Ward 3 said he was pleased to see prompt action on this matter and was supportive of any initiative that saw better use of Council assets. “When the Lambton Residents Group raised the question of who owned and managed the Baby Health Centre building with me, I was pleased to be able to approach the appropriate people within Council and to provide answers back to the group” Councillor Rufo told Lambton Local.

Lambton’s rich history in print $
$
Local researcher and author Julie Keating with her book “Lambton A Nineteenth Century Mining Town” compiled by local resident Julie Keating is a concise history of life in the Lambton mining community and the hardships that were endured by the early residents. When an outcrop of good quality coal was discovered near Chilcott Street in the 1860s, the area was scrubland, with some swampy areas in the low lying parts. There were no town facilities, no formed roads and no services provided. The book contains a number of photographs taken by Ralph Snowball. Working from a studio at his residence in Clarence Road, New Lambton Snowball travelled the area documenting life in the mining communities. A number of drawings of churches and hotels by Coralie Watson also add to the visual experience of early Lambton. Newspaper articles of the day from the National Library’s Trove database add a factual and often amusing account of people, places and events. “Lambton A Nineteenth Century Mining Town” will be officially launched on Tuesday 1st September. Signed copies will be available from Lambton Branch Library on Tuesday 1st and Saturday 5th September from 11.30 am. The book is available for purchase for $30 from Lambton and New Lambton Newsagencies as well as MacLean’s Booksellers in Hamilton.

QUALITY MEATS
Bede Jarrett (right) and Cal Webb of Jarrett’s Quality Meats, regional winners of multiple Sausage King awards for a second consecutive year It’s hardly news to their regular customers but now everyone knows that Lambton’s own butcher has the best sausages in Newcastle and the Hunter......again! Bede Jarrett and the team at Jarrett’s Quality Meats in Elder Street took out the prestigious Traditional Australian category at the regional heat of the Australian Meat Industry Council’s ‘Sausage King’ awards for the second straight year recently. “To do it back to back is great especially in the Traditional category. Not everyone goes for the fancier varieties of sausages with the exotic ingredients, but everyone loves a plain snag.” Bede told Lambton Local recently. “That’s not to say we didn’t go well in other categories. We picked up a 1st place for the ‘Continental’ and three 3rd places for our ‘Chicken’, ‘Ausssie Lamb’ and ‘Gourmet’ entries. It was a pleasing result all round” He added. The recipe Bede uses for his traditional sausage was shared with him about 20 years ago by a butcher who’d been making sausages himself for 40 years. As regional winners Jarrett’s Quality Meats will go up against the best in NSW and the ACT in this month’s state finals. Good luck Bede!

Lambton Public’s 150th celebrated in print
Local historian and author, Robert Watson is a former student of Lambton Public School
This month Lambton Public School celebrates its Sesquicentenary or 150th anniversary, having opened in 1865. A committee of school staff, P&C members and a university research assistant have been working with local historian Robert Watson to compile a book to mark the occasion. “I grew up in Hill Street and was a pupil at the school for the Centenary fifty years ago in 1965,” said Robert. “Every pupil at the time received a souvenir 24 page book, and I think everyone has kept their copy! “We have tried this time to produce an equally precious book of 152 pages, and our hope is that this too will be treasured. The P&C have assisted with funding of the book’s costs so that each and every current pupil at the school will receive a copy at no charge. Around two-thirds of the content covers the history of the school, with a strong emphasis on the 1940s, 50s and 60s. There are over 100 photos, including the 1889 plan for a new Girls Department and three photos of the school from 1909, which according to Robert have never seen in print before. The book will be for sale at the school’s Open Day on Saturday 12th September.

What’s new at Lambton Library this month? The Good Lie (DVD)
After the Storm by Linda Castillo
They were known simply as “The Lost Boys.” Orphaned by the brutal Civil war in Sudan that began in 1983, these young victims traveled as many as a thousand miles on foot in search of safety. Fifteen years later, a humanitarian effort would bring 3600 lost boys and girls to America. In “The Good Lie,” Philippe Falardeau, brings the story of their survival and triumph to life. Sudanese actors Arnold Oceng, Ger Duany, Emmanuel Jal, and newcomer Nyakuoth Weil, many of whom were also children of war, star alongside Academy Award winner Reese Witherspoon and Corey Stoll.
In this electrifying thriller by New York Times bestseller Linda Castillo, Kate Burkholder must uncover a family’s long-hidden past to solve a brutal murder. When a tornado tears through Painters Mill and unearths human remains, Chief of Police Kate Burkholder finds herself tasked with the responsibility of identifying the bones--and notifying the family. Evidence quickly emerges that the death was no accident and Kate finds herself plunged into a thirty year old case that takes her deep into the Amish community to which she once belonged.
The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins Rachel catches the same commuter train every morning. She knows it will wait at the same signal each time, overlooking a row of back gardens.

And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Now Rachel has a chance to become a part of the lives she’s only watched from afar. Now they’ll see, she’s much more than just the girl on the train… Rear Window meets Gone Girl, in this exceptional and startling psychological thriller.

Lambton then, Lambton now Electric light for Lambton
by Lachlan Wetherall
Ralph Snowball’s photograph of the Lambton Electric Light Station’s opening 9th September 1890. Photos reproduced with permission of Newcastle Region Library
The small black plaque above the door of this unassuming building (above) reads “Lambton Electric Light Station. W.T. Dent – Mayor 1890”. September 9th will mark 125 years to the day when this Ralph Snowball photograph was taken at the official opening ceremony. To power 160 street lamps spread over 25 miles of wiring, this station was constructed in a disused quarry between High St and Young St (now Newcastle Rd.) The system was supplied and installed by H.H. Kingsbury at a cost of £6350 to the council. Lambton was the first township in the Newcastle area and only the third in the state to have electric lighting, following Tamworth and Young.
to all concerned, as can be seen by the beautifully polished machinery, and gleaming tiled floor. The electric generators were manufactured by the Thompson-Houston Company in Boston USA, and were a cause of many months delay. Just as in modern times when a new technology arrives, it seems everyone wants it at once and the manufacturers can’t keep up with the demand! The electric light station operated for nine years, before sending the Council broke, and even landing some of the aldermen in Maitland Gaol over loan defaults. In 1899 the bank seized control of the station and put the equipment up for sale. The national enthusiasm for electric lighting was somewhat dimmed by now, so the plant wasn’t sold until 1904. It was eventually bought by the Caledonian Coal Company, split up and sent off to the Killingworth and Mt Kembla collieries.
The other photograph (opposite page) shows the interior of the station, with two 20 horsepower Fowlers’ steam engines manufactured in Leeds, England. The two engines “Amy” and “Thirza”, were christened by and named after Amy Palmer and You can view these photos and more details at www.

What is depression?
Depression is a nasty business. It can take hold of any of us and none of us are immune. The former Premier of Western Australia and the Opposition Leader of NSW both had to resign their jobs due to its effects; so it is certainly not evidence of a weak mind. So what is it? Depression is an aggregation of several symptoms. For a diagnosis, there has to be either a depressed mood (down, sad, blue or flat) or lack of interest in usually happy behaviours (anhedonia) for two weeks or more, plus three or four of the following symptoms: lack of energy, demotivation, short fuse, change in weight or appetite, change in libido, insomnia, sleepiness, feelings of helplessness, hopelessness or worthlessness, inability to concentrate, woolly thinking, what’s the point thinking, suicidal thinking. This is an awful way to live. For many people, things will improve on their own, often within about three months. However, for others, they may need to seek professional assistance to help them get through it. Traditionally, clinicians talked about reactive depression where there was a specific trigger, and endogenous depression, with no specific trigger and thought generally to be more biologically based and medication the first line of treatment. These days, we tend to talk more about non-melancholic depression, which would normally be treated with psychological therapy, and melancholic depression, which has all the symptoms of the former, plus psycho-motor disturbance, typically a slowing down, and requiring medication. I liken depression to being lost in a heavily wooded forest that is covered in thick fog with only one track out and I have no idea where it is. Depression does respond to good targeted treatment. Don’t hesitate to get help if you think you might need it.
Spring time is in the air By Anne-Marie Adams, owner/ personal trainer at Inspirational Group & Fitness Training
This also means………wait for it……you guessed it…….it’s time to for a SPRING CLEAN of your house. Yes we all dread it but once it is done it feels amazing to have everything back in order and nice and clean for another year. I am here to help you get motivated and get the most out of your spring clean, fitness wise.
(these figures are based on a 68kg person but changes depending on intensity, body composition and weight) The most important thing to remember is that it cannot replace your normal exercise routine. It is a combination of both incidental exercise (active things we do in everyday life) as well as a regular exercise routine that leads to a healthy and active lifestyle. Just remember when you are scrubbing those floors, vacuuming or even cleaning out that cupboard it is worth it because it is not only leading to a cleaner house but also to a healthier lifestyle…..and we can all be happy with that. So until next time…..Love life, dream big and become the inspiration Anne-Marie
Before I was a personal trainer I owned my very own cleaning business (hello to all those people that I used to clean for). I know for a fact that done right cleaning can help you burn calories as well as make your home beautiful. Intensity is the key. The faster you go and the more you put into it the more calories you will burn. To help motivate you put on some motivating music and tighten those abs. The more you bend and stretch the more toned and flexible you will get. If you have stairs in your house use them to run (safely) up and down and this then creates an aerobic workout.

Easy ways to help you reduce tax
by Gary Croese B.Bus (Acc.), CPA, FPS. Principal of GC Accountants
Be charitable Every donation over $2 you make to a registered charity is tax deductible. After you make any donation you should be given a receipt. At tax time, add up all of your donation receipts and you will be able to claim this on your return
Medicare Levy Surcharge If you do not hold a private insurance policy, as soon as your income exceeds $90 000 for singles or $180 000 for families, you will be required to pay a minimum of 1% extra in the form of the Medicare Levy Surcharge. This is on top of the compulsory 2.0% Medicare levy paid by most Australian taxpayers. Often the cost of private health care will often cost less than this 1% surcharge
should be beneficial now and into the future – there is no point saving a small amount of tax now if it is a poor investment and you end up losing your original capital in the long run.
Investing Depending on your individual finances or circumstances, making an investment can also help you reduce tax. Before you decide to invest, speak to your financial planner who can advise you of the investments suitable to you. Remember, the investment
Seek the Advice of Tax Professionals In most cases using a tax agent or accountant can not only save you a lot of time, but will also improve your tax refund or net payable. This is why the ATO’s statistics show 70% of Australians use a tax agent’s service – like GC Accountants

Ticking the boxes
Most local pet owners have had some experience with the catastrophic consequences of tick paralysis. But we still meet clients who aren’t fully aware of the risks. Tick paralysis is a syndrome seen in pets caused by the toxin of a tick named Ixodes holocyclus. These ticks are endemic to our area and they are generally carried by native wildlife. Tick paralysis can have devastating and potentially fatal consequences for your pet if not diagnosed and treated early. The toxin injected by these ticks blocks normal function of nerves and muscles, leading to muscle paralysis. The symptoms of tick paralysis in the early stages can vary considerably so it’s important to be aware of the common warning signs which can include: • Weakness in the (hind) limbs • Changes to the sound of bark/meow • Vomiting or regurgitation of food • Laboured breathing • Reduced appetite • Lethargy or reluctance to get out of bed • Coughing or retching • Falling over or wobbling Advertisers and contributors please note the Remember, not all of these symptoms may be displayed, and any unusual behavior should raise your concern for following deadlines for the October 2015 edition of the possibility of a tick. Lambton Local Veterinary treatment includes the required administration > Advertising bookings close Wed 16 September of an expensive anti-toxin and generally 24 to 48 hours > Advertising copy & layout must be of nursing care. The worst affected animals require finalised by Thur 17 September assisted ventilation by a life support machine and around > Classifieds bookings close Tue 15 September the clock vet care. Unfortunately, when animals reach that stage they may die as a result of the toxin. > Contributions of news and community group As always, prevention is better than the cure! We have information must be received by Wed 16 September been removing paralysis ticks from dogs already in the The October edition will be distributed to letterboxes last few weeks. Please remember that the only 100% from 27 to 30 September. safe prevention is doing daily tick checks.
