This week...

Canberrans were saddened by the sudden passing of highly respected disability advocate, Sue Salthouse, in a tragic road accident on Commonwealth Avenue Bridge on Monday afternoon. Tributes have flowed in from all sides of politics and many sectors of the community for the Canberra legend and highly respected social justice and human rights defender.

Sue’s tireless advocacy for people with a disability, particularly women, as well as her significant contributions in a range of areas were recognised with her being named the 2020 ACT Senior Australian of the Year and 2015 Canberra Citizen of the Year.

In one of many tributes, the ACT Greens described her as “a woman of true grit and determination”. “After surviving a life-defining fall from a horse in 1995, Sue became a fierce advocate for women with disabilities … There are many in Canberra and beyond who have learnt from her and benefitted from her wisdom and resolve to make this a better world.”

Our heartfelt condolences to Sue’s family and friends. Truly, Canberra is a better place for having had Sue in it.

Reasons to be grateful this past week include a night out at the Mov’in Car pop-up drive-in watching the Oscarwinning Korean film, Parasite, a delightful bushwalk at Molonglo Gorge, afternoon tea with friends, winter sunshine, birdsong, cloud gazing and the distant cheers of community sport. Take care.

news Local groups push to raise age of criminal responsibility Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are imprisoned in the ACT at eight times the rate of their non-indigenous peers. That is why 18 ACT organisations have rallied for the age of criminal responsibility to be raised while addressing the overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in the prison system.

In an open letter to the Territory’s political figures released today (Thursday 23 July), the service delivery, human rights, legal and representative organisations detailed their support to raise the age from 10 to 14.

“Doctors agree that children do not have the cognitive capacity to be held criminally responsible at 10 years old,” the statement read.

“Moreover, they have found that sending children to prison can cause them lifelong harm, increase rates of mental illness, trauma,

and even lead to early death.”

The letter was published prior to an Age of Criminal Responsibility Working Group Review being presented to a meeting of the Council of Attorneys-General on 27 July.

Director of Children, Youth and Family at Woden Community Service, Kate West, put her full support behind the cause.

“The age of criminal responsibility of children needs to reflect what we know will result in better outcomes for the child and the community as a whole,” she said.

“A 10-year-old should not be faced with incarceration, but met with our compassion, understanding and active support.”

The ACT has had a 26.7% decrease in detention rates for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people from 205.54 in 2017–18 to 150.51 in 2018–19.

However, ACT Law Society President, Chris Donohue, said the imprisonment rate of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders was shocking.

“The Law Society believes that it is simply unacceptable to put children in prison.

Australians should be ashamed of the number of children held in prisons around the country, and especially of the extraordinary overrepresentation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children in detention,” he said.

“We don’t have to wait for the other states and territories to do the right thing. The ACT Government could take action now, raise the age of criminal responsibility to 14, and keep our children out of prison.”

Canberra urban forest to grow regardless of election result The ACT Government has announced they will seek to cover 30% of Canberra’s urban areas with tree canopy in the next 25 years, planting over 450,000 trees to accomplish this goal.

The draft Urban Forest Strategy 20202045 was released for public consultation on Monday (20 July), outlining the protection, maintenance, education, conservation, community partnerships and planting required to achieve the goal.

The planting of 25,000 trees by 2023 has been funded by the ACT Government as part of the first stage of the planting program.

Tree canopy currently covers around 21% of Canberra’s urban area.

The Urban Forest Strategy will provide a pathway to achieve the ACT’s target of 30% canopy cover by 2045 while also setting out what will need to be done to ensure Canberra’s urban forest remains resilient to a changing climate and to help cool our city.

Minister for City Services, Chris Steel said many of Canberra’s large historic tree plantings are reaching the end of their life.

“To grow our urban forest, we will plant more trees and more diverse and resilient species.

“We’ll also need to ensure new trees receive great care and ongoing maintenance in order to thrive and take a ‘whole-of-forest’ approach to managing our canopy,” he said.

Mr Steel also noted that changes are 8

required to the existing legal framework to help grow and manage a living urban forest.

“The complexity of our legislative framework means that three trees within five metres of each other may be subject to different laws and different requirements.

“At times, the same tree can be protected under one law and removed under another. We need to reform our system to a more integrated living infrastructure planning approach,” he said.

Shadow Minister for the Environment Elizabeth Lee said the ACT Government is “on the back foot” with respect to caring for Canberra’s trees.

In early June, the Canberra Liberals made an election promise to plant and care for one million trees over the next decade should they form government following the October election.

They also announced a “green space guarantee” – a promise that Canberrans, regardless of where they live, will have access to green space within a 10-minute walk from home.

The Canberra Liberals have previously pointed out that in 19 years the ACT Government have overseen the number of street and community trees going backward by approximately 3,000 trees each year, while tree canopy has fallen from 30% to 21%.

“They have had 19 years (in government);

Tree canopy currently covers around 21% of Canberra’s urban area and the ACT Government aims to increase that to 30% over the next 25 years. File image.

if they truly cared about trees they would not have allowed the tree canopy in Canberra to drop to 21%,” Ms Lee said.

“There’s no doubt that with the election less than three months away they have cottoned on to the fact that Canberrans value trees.”

When the Canberra Liberals announced their million-tree scheme they did so without proper costings. Ms Lee said they will be released before polling day.

“We have said that we will be engaging with community groups, environmental groups, with schools, and we want to ensure that we listen to the experts in planting the right species of tree in the right location to ensure that they are sustainable for the long term.”

Morocco provides travellers with intriguing historic sites, authentic cuisine and fascinating scenery.

Exotic and fascinating, the Kingdom of Morocco is rich in history and culture.

Morocco, the gift that keeps on giving

By Karim Medrek Ambassador of Morocco to Australia The Kingdom of Morocco is a land of multiculturalism, tolerance and diversity where countless charms attract millions of tourists. It traces its history back thousands of years and has inherited centuries of tradition.

Morocco has continued to enrich itself on the basis of its interaction with various civilisations, religions and cultures as well as its absorption of many influences.

Morocco has a vibrant culture which is reflected in the little details that make up daily routines and habits, as well as in celebrations and

rituals. Indeed, Morocco, a country resolutely turned towards the future, has managed to preserve its traditions and nurture its cultural heritage, by making both basic levers for development. The mingling of modernity and tradition embodies the real strength of Morocco, by promoting responsible tourism, taking into consideration the benefit of the land and local populations.

Exotic and fascinating, Morocco is rich in history and culture, providing travellers with intriguing

Millions of visitors, including celebrities such as Russell Crowe and Meryl Streep, enjoy casually ambling in souks and medinas across Morocco.

historic sites, authentic cuisine, and changing scenery which is perfect to explore a fascinating destination.

For years, Morocco was the favourite holiday destination for Winston Churchill, the Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, and continues to be one of the preferred vacation spots for celebrities such as Russell Crowe, Meryl Streep or Madonna, all of them keen on casually ambling in souks and medinas.

Morocco’s strategic location between Africa and Europe, its rich history, mesmerising culture, as well as its political and economic stability, consolidates its position as one of the major destinations for tourists.

Cities such as Agadir, Casablanca, Chefchaouen, Dakhla, Essaouira, Fez, Marrakesh and Tangier, attract 13 million visitors annually, including 45,000 Australians.

The imperial cities (Fez, Marrakesh and Meknes) provide magnificent scenery in terms of architecture and cultural dimension. Marrakesh is one of the most important tourist destinations in Africa and the Middle East. It will not take you long to see why it is called the Red City.

Fez, the Kingdom’s cultural and spiritual capital, possesses a lot of historical monuments such as Al Qarawiyin, which is the oldest operating university in the world, established in 859, by a Moroccan woman, Fatima Al Fihriya.

Casablanca, the country’s largest and busiest metropolis, is a city for travellers aiming to feel like locals, rather than tourists. It is a mythical city, which inspired the 1942 film

starring Ingrid Bergman and Humphrey Bogart.

Like Matisse and Delacroix, walking through Tangier – Europe’s gateway to Africa – allows one to be transported by its dreamy ambiance.

The ancient fortified city of Essaouira, called ‘City of the Wind’ or the ‘Moroccan Woodstock’ has fascinated and attracted various artists such as Orson Wells, Frank Zappa and the Beatles. More recently, the American TV show Game of Thrones has been filmed there.

Merzouga, a village lost in the sand, is one of the gateways to the Sahara. It gives the opportunity to explore the desert and the stretches of sand bathed in sun and silence. One of Morocco’s richest ecosystems thrives right in the middle of the desert.

Morocco, a haven of peace and quietude, anticipates the wishes of its visitors, by inviting them to discover its fauna and flora, its subtle mixes of essences from Orient and Africa and to delight their taste buds with one of the most renowned cuisines in the world.

This is but a glimpse of the myriad cultures that still thrive in Morocco, the gift that keeps on giving.

news Alcohol pregnancy warning label comes at ‘huge cost’ A new mandatory pregnancy health warning on alcohol products comes at a “huge cost for no outcome,” says one Canberra Brewery.

Food Safety Ministers in Australia and New Zealand came to an agreement with Food Standards Australia New Zealand on Friday, outlining the mandatory red, black and white warning label with the words ‘pregnancy warning’.

Previously, a smaller label warning against alcohol and pregnancy was voluntary for product producers.

Popular Canberra brewery, Capital Brewing Co, have put their support behind current pregnancy labelling but have said a new label will come at a large cost to the company, in an already challenging time.

“More broadly we support the pregnancy labelling and have been compliant with the voluntary scheme for about a year,” Managing Director Laurance Kain said.

“However, there is minimal change to the wording and the bit of red on there and that’s

going to cost our business an upfront cost of $57,000 plus the ongoing cost of printing with an additional colour.

“That’s a brewer’s annual salary.”

Mr Kain said the company’s frustration has come from the lack of consultation the ACT Government had with local businesses on the issue.

The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE) welcomed the announcement that came on Friday.

A recent survey from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare has found one in six women drink alcohol after knowledge of pregnancy.

FARE CEO Caterina Giorgi said it would help to increase awareness about the dangers of drinking while pregnant.

“It’s going to be visible and clear and it’s going to help further educate the community about the risks.

“The current labelling is voluntary and has been ineffective and research has shown that less than half of alcohol producers have it on their labelling.”

Ms Giorgi argued that while a cost would be

required for companies, they had three years to implement the new labelling requirements.

Mr Kain said it should be noted that just over 12 months ago, ACT companies were required to change their packaging to comply with the mandatory Container Deposit Scheme.

“If the government is really in favour of it, it’s just a pill we have to swallow but the timing of it is super irritating given it is in the middle of a pandemic and we’re 50% down on revenue,” he said.

“We just had to change our labels over 12 months ago to comply with the Container Deposit Scheme so the management of it has been really clumsy.”

Canberra is mourning the passing of highly respected local disability advocate Sue Salthouse, who was named the 2020 ACT Senior Australian of the Year. Photo: NADC/Salty Dingo.

Tributes flow for ACT disability advocate Sue Salthouse Tributes have flowed in for disability advocate and ACT Senior Australian of the Year, Sue Salthouse, who died on Monday 20 July after a collision between a car and her

wheelchair-accessible motorcycle on Commonwealth Avenue Bridge.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr expressed “shock and dismay” at the sudden and tragic

loss. In a statement, Mr Barr said Ms Salthouse was a “fierce and passionate advocate for people with a disability and in particular, women with a disability”.

“Her life was one of service and contribution to her community, and she worked for greater recognition of the enormous contribution women with disability make to the workplace and in leadership roles,” he said.

Ms Salthouse was named Canberra Citizen of the Year in 2015 and was the 2020 ACT Senior Australian of the Year.

ACT Deputy Opposition Leader Nicole Lawder also expressed her sadness and said Ms Salthouse’s “sense of humour and willingness to support and mentor others” would not be forgotten.

“She has played an important part in more advisory committees and panels than I can name. Her numerous awards and recognition are just a small testament to her enormous contribution in a range of

areas and she will be sorely missed,” Ms Lawder said.

ACT Greens MLA Caroline Le Couteur, MP Andrew Leigh and Women with Disabilities ACT (WWDAACT), of which Ms Salthouse was the Board Chair, are among those who have also expressed their shock and sadness.

The ACT Council of Social Service (ACTCOSS) and the National Australia Day Council (NADC) have also released statements.

Ms Salthouse was riding her wheelchair-accessible motorcycle on Commonwealth Bridge when the collision occurred at around 2.45pm on Monday. ACT Policing confirmed the rider of the motorcycle was treated at the scene by paramedics but died in hospital.

ACT Policing is urging anyone who many have witnessed the collision to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

This is the third fatality on ACT roads this year.

She joined the Gillespie Group in November last year, bringing with her a wealth of knowledge and experience in the financial planning industry.

“For me, it’s all about having that relationship with the clients. Trust is the most important thing for the relationship, and transparency – you’ve got to be really open with people, and realistic about what they can expect from us and what we expect from them.”

“It’s all about being that trusted adviser; being the first person a client comes to when they’ve got a financial decision to make, about giving clients ideas about how to put themselves in a stronger financial position – either straight away or long-term planning.

news Implementation of ACT single-use plastic ban delayed The ACT Greens have called on the ACT Government to forge ahead with a ban on certain single-use plastics given the implementation of the ban, originally slated for ‘mid-to-late 2020’, has been delayed until 2021 due to COVID-19.

ACT Greens Environment campaign spokesperson and candidate for Ginninderra, Jo Clay, said she wants to see consultation on the single-use plastics ban go ahead with small business and the hospitality industry.

“We’re quite keen for the government to get on with the consultation they’ve promised regarding single use plastics,” Ms Clay said.

“It’s probably even more important to open up those channels with the businesses that are struggling … I think not talking to people is actually not very helpful.

“We’re pretty confident we can come up with some pretty good solutions, we just don’t want to push back on that any further.”

The Phasing Out Single-Use Plastics Engagement Report, published in September 2019, said 42 business surveys were completed during the community consultation period of the discussion

paper between 16 April and 31 July 2019.

“The small number of survey responses from businesses that actually use or supply particular single-use plastic products mean it will be important to engage further with local businesses on the potential impacts and challenges associated with phasing out these products,” the report read.

ACT Minister for Recycling and Waste Reduction, Chris Steel, said the Government has also run business consultation through the ACT’s Plastic Reduction Taskforce, which features 13 peak bodies across hospitality, small business, disability and conservation, on the draft legislation in February this year.

“Rather than just calling for yet more consultation, the Greens should support our Government’s Bill to phase out single-use plastics when it is introduced to the Legislative Assembly,” Mr Steel said.

The ACT Government will introduce the Plastic Reduction Bill in 2020 as announced, to ban certain single-use plastics.

“However, due to the pandemic, all Australian jurisdictions have put any implementation on hold

until July 2021,” Mr Steel said.

The original plan was to immediately phase out all single-use plastic cutlery, single-use plastic stirrers, and single-use expanded polystyrene takeaway food and beverage containers in “midto-late 2020”, before phasing out other single-use plastic items, like produce bags, in 2021.

“This legislation could impose additional regulation on the hospitality industry and events industries when they are not operating or just trying to survive during the pandemic, which is why the legislation will still be introduced this year but implemented from 2021,” Mr Steel said.

Ms Clay said she is “very sympathetic” to the challenges facing the hospitality sector during the pandemic.

“The problem is, and I speak to this as someone from the recycling industry, delays actually aren’t very helpful, there’s a lot of decisions you have to make,” she said.

“It’s a lot more helpful to have those conversations and work out what you have to do rather than delay.”

Summerfield advertising moment

Important to plan early for your retirement There is common thinking that many people leave retirement decisions, such as where to live when downsizing or seeking a new beginning, until too late. They leave it until their opportunity to fully enjoy retirement and community living and community spirit is diminished. People need to plan early when the best financial and personal decisions can be made.

With respect to planning for a retirement home, the newly released Invest+Retire™ package at Summerfield seems to tick all the boxes. Summerfield is a thriving over-55s affordable luxury estate at the vibrant, communityspirited town of Braidwood, between Canberra and Batemans Bay. The new package has really hit on a formula where financial and personal planning for future retirement as to where to live can be worked through in a strategic and proactive manner.

So what is Invest+Retire™ all about? It really is very simple.

Identify where you want to live, and a property in an over-55s freehold estate, and purchase as an investment property. Check value and amenity. Look at rentability and whether there are any rental underwrites or guarantees. Take advantage of tax deprecation benefits in your own personal circumstances or in your Self Managed Super Fund (SMSF).

Let us look briefly in some more depth at the Summerfield Invest+Retire™ Matrix. These 3-bed 2-bath 2-car villas at Summerfield in the thriving town of Braidwood offer superb value,

being half the price of Sydney and far better value being freehold than in Canberra. Of course, freehold is an important element of the Invest+Retire™ matrix as it allows borrowing effectively. With many of the leasehold villages in retirement complexes there is no security value on which to borrow.

Proper borrowing and financial leverage is an important part of wealth creation. Further, when you purchase at Summerfield, you are also purchasing a stake in the excellent community facilities. This makes for an ideal future capital growth equation as well.

With the current interest rates at an all-time low there is no better time to set up your financial future, while you are working, for your future over 55s work slowdown or retirement. Fantastic lock-in rates for five years can now be achieved which will set you up well for the future. Importantly, you need to consider the impediments imposed in the banking world for those who are over 65 to borrow, or who only have a relatively low income. So, if at all possible, it’s important to set all this up while you are working with a reasonable income.

Flexibility to sell your home when you want to optimise value is important. For many, their home is a major asset and, accordingly, when selling such as to downsize or move to an over-55s community, it is important that it can be done at the most opportune time and not in a rush. Invest+Retire™ allows that as you have identified and purchased your retirement home and it is earning an income.

The newly released Invest+Retire™ package at Summerfield seems to tick all the boxes when it comes to planning for a retirement home.

A real advantage of freehold such as at Summerfield is that you can sell your property at any time and keep all the capital growth.

There are no exit fees or lock in.

A key facet of Summerfield is that a rental underwrite, which establishes a base rent plus you keep whatever excess is received, or a rental guarantee is available.

This provides you with total peace of mind that your investment property is earning at all times.

Summerfield is constantly looking for approved people to rent and

establishing a database of all prospects. There are many over 55s who would love to rent at Summerfield for a short or long period of time and enjoy the clean, crisp, country air and the wonderful community spirit.

All in all, the new Summerfield Invest+Retire™ package looks like a real winner.

Call Summerfield on 1300 73 79 70 for a confidential discussion on how this innovative new package can benefit you.

The Canberra Raiders have claimed victory in the NRL grand final re-match against the Sydney Roosters at the SCG last Thursday night, 16 July. After being riddled with injury in the past few weeks, the team took the 24-20 win without veteran hooker Josh Hodgson and promising young winger Bailey Simonsson, who had both been ruled out for the remainder of the season in the game prior. Josh Papalii was a standout, scoring the final try to put the Raiders in the fourpoint lead. The Raiders face the South Sydney Rabbitohs at GIO Stadium Canberra this Saturday 25 July; kick-off 7.35pm.

Brumbies beat ‘Tahs The Brumbies have come away with a one-point win over the NSW Waratahs in a nail biter at ANZ Stadium in Sydney on Saturday night, 18 July.

The team welcomed back Wallaby Tom Banks for the game, after overcoming a foot injury, and kept the same starting side from the win against the Melbourne Rebels the week prior. The Brumbies face the Western Force at Leichhardt Oval in Sydney this Saturday 25 July; kick-off 7.15pm.

Following a mysterious transformative event years ago, over a million human-sized anthropomorphised rabbits now live in England, including one family that has just moved into the village of Much Hemlock. The villagers are determined to kick them out, but Mrs Constance Rabbit is having none of that, and her unexpected friendship with villager Peter Knox will have far reaching consequences across the country.

Ultra-creative author Jasper Fforde is back with another outstanding novel. This latest book is a hilarious, inventive and extremely clever read, that expertly satirises current English politics. Absurdly brilliant and guaranteed to have you laughing for hours.

A terrorist is loose in America, carefully targeting buildings and structures that threaten the environment.

Known only as the Green Man, this terrorist has amassed a cult following of environmental protestors, who see him as the world’s last hope.

As the FBI struggle to find him, a young agent, Tom Smith, may hold the key to stopping him.

But should he?

This is an impressive and compelling book with an intriguing and complex antagonist, and a wealth of fascinating background information on the environment. An exciting and fast-paced thriller, Out of Time is a highly enjoyable read.

Now showing House of Cardin (G)

A fun night of fundraising!

London, 1943. Struggling publisher Partridge Press is desperate to come up with a new bestseller and Alice Cotton has an idea that could save them. But when she is suddenly forced to leave for personal reasons it falls to American, Theo Bloom, to try and bring her back and help Alice right a terrible wrong.

Inspired by true events, Finding Eadie is an intense and captivating historical drama, whose story looks at the loss, love and struggles experienced by some realistic and relatable protagonists. Featuring a fascinating look at the publishing industry during World War II, this is an amazing story.

This week, Michael Popple reviews three of July’s most intriguing releases.

You can find more of Michael’s book reviews on his blog: unseenlibrary.com

After a list of very famous faces from the worlds of fashion, music and movies, we are left a question: “Who is Pierre Cardin?” We then go to the enigma’s fashion house where we meet the man himself (now just shy of 100 years of age) and delve into the start of his career.

Italian-born and French naturalised, Cardin became known for his experimental and futurist space-age fashion designs.

Founding his fashion house in 1950, he introduced the bubble dress in 1954 and took the world by storm. Preferring geometric shapes and unisex styles, Cardin would invent the ‘mod chic’ trend of the 1970s. Cardin was also the first designer to branch out from exclusive ‘haute couture’ fashion into ready-to-wear for the masses; he also led the way by lending his signature to accessories from

perfumes, pens and keychains to cars and jets.

As with The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness, a documentary which explores the working practices of the founders of the insular Studio Ghibli, one gets the sense that Cardin, after considerable training and work, progressed his career by following his bliss; his interests and taste being a guide in his professional pursuits as opposed to any real plan. It is this approach that allows Cardin to make such fearless professional strides others see as a risk to his reputation and, in association, his brand.

Verdict: A fascinating exploration into the life’s work of Cardin, which, unlike McQueen, sheds little further light onto its enigmatic subject. 3 stars.

Back to school: lunch boxes

it – because they will just find the first bin and in it goes. I try to pack smarter, mixing it up with things like a corn pancake or a mixed fruit salad. I always say you cannot beat fresh fruit and snacks of vegies with avocado or hummus.

When kids eat healthier foods, they are healthier, and the more movement or exercise they do, the healthier they become.

Remember – the human body is the greatest machine ever created so it’s important to give it the best fuel we can.

One last tip: Get the kids into having porridge for breakfast, this will set them up for a great day and provide lots of sustained energy.

Remember – fresh, light and lots of flavour. The kids will love it!

Healthy bites • Protein packed super-green frittata • Wraps – a great way to mix it up from a sandwich • Wholegrain breads instead of white • Lots of ‘little bits’, such as a four-fruit salad • Carrots and celery cut into sticks

• Crackers and avocado dip • Small meatballs with hummus or tzatziki • Cherry tomatoes with cheese • Hard-boiled egg • Fruit jelly • Cold roast meats – it makes lunch like a picnic!

• Water with every meal

In season Seasonal fruits are great, you can also use them to teach the kids about vitamins and minerals and how the body responds to food. These are a few of my favourites: • • • • •

Grapefruit Kiwifruit Tangerines (in season now) Strawberries Blueberries

• • • •

Yes, we do home visits We can see you in the comfort of your own home providing Hearing Aids, Hearing Aid repairs and hearing services.

The list goes on, so find a few that the kids like best and pack these for them to eat.

Kids, it’s back to school already!

And for parents, that means the great lunch box debate returns.

Gone are the days when we would put a jam sandwich and a muffin in the kids’ school bags and off they went. Now we need to give smart and healthy lunchbox options to our kids, and with all the information out there it can be difficult to navigate!

There are awesome ways to prepare food and kids really enjoy the smart combinations, different styles and flavors of foods.

With such diverse and cultural influences when it comes to food options, kids’ taste buds should always be bursting with joy.

If kids don’t like salad or fruit, don’t just pack it in their lunch box and tell them to eat

Caring for senior pets

WITH HOME EDITOR, ALLISON TURNBULL

Senior pets are truly special – they are gentle and wise – and just like with humans, senior years for our pets should be relaxed and enjoyable.

Veterinarian and Snooza pet products spokesperson, Dr Katrina Warren, says while it is difficult to watch our beloved pets age, providing them with some extra comfort and care can help them enjoy their golden years the way they deserve to.

Special pet care feature

When is your dog a senior?

Dogs are generally considered to be seniors from around eight years of age; however, larger and giant breeds of dogs are considered senior at a younger age, generally from five to seven years.

Once your pet is senior, it is recommended you take them to the vet for a thorough checkup twice a year. Pets can suffer from many of the ailments that affect humans such as cancer, diabetes, dental disease, kidney failure and loss of vision. Many of these conditions can be managed if detected early.

Diet Good nutrition becomes even more important for your dog as they age. Seniors need a balanced diet that is lower in calories, protein and fat but higher in fibre. Be sure to discuss your ageing pet’s dietary needs with your veterinarian.

Exercise Being overweight predisposes pets to heart disease and diabetes, and places unnecessary strain on hips and joints. Unfortunately, many older dogs gain weight due to a reduced amount of exercise.

It’s important for dogs to remain active and undertake regular short and gentle walks, in keeping with their health and ability. Weight loss can be a symptom of an underlying medical condition so it’s a good idea to regularly record 32

If you have a senior pet, a few thoughtful adjustments to their routine can potentially improve their quality of life and help them stay comfortable, says Australian Veterinarian and Snooza Pet Products Ambassador, Dr Katrina Warren.

their weight and discuss with your vet if you see changes.

Changes in behaviour Pets go through changes and slow down as they age but these changes can also be symptoms of underlying medical issues. Watch for signs like difficulty getting up, climbing stairs or getting into the car as these can be signs of pain caused by arthritis.

As your dog ages, their sense of sight and hearing may become impaired. They may no longer react to sounds like they used to, they may be difficult to wake up, or they may not recognise you as well from a distance as they used to.

Some pets suffer from dementia-like illnesses as they age. If your pet appears confused, disorientated, forgets basics like toilet training, starts to bark or howl or becomes aggressive or displays any of these signs, a thorough vet check-up is recommended.

Winter The cooler months can be tough on seniors, but it is important that your dog still goes outside for daily exercise, even though it is chilly. They need it to keep their muscles and joints moving

and it helps manage their weight. Feed smaller meals instead of one large one as smaller meals are easier to digest and will deliver energy throughout the day.

Those with short coats or low body fat will benefit from a jacket to help keep them warm – choose something that is practical over fashionable.

Bedding Older pets need to be kept warm, so make sure they have a cosy but supportive bed that is somewhere dry and away from draughts. A petsafe heat pad can help add some extra warmth.

The Snooza Snuggler offers orthopaedic support with an orthopaedic foam mattress providing a stable base to help ease the pain of stiff joints while the soft bolstered side walls provide soft walls to lean against or to rest their heads.

If your dog has mobility problems, it is recommended to give them a bed with low sides so that it is easy for them to get in and out. The Snooza Ortho Sofa has an orthopaedic support foam base providing the supportive base for older dogs, while the soft filled bolstered walls add protection and comfort.

Things to consider before you get a dog This is an edited extract from Eat, Play, Love (your dog) by Lara Shannon, published by Hardie Grant Books $29.99 and is available where all good books are sold.

Do your homework Whether you are getting a new puppy or adopting a rescue dog, you need to do your homework: • Research the common traits/ temperament of the breed you are thinking about.

• What are their common health issues and dietary considerations?

• Do they have specific exercise needs – mental and physical?

• If you are looking to rescue, ask about and ensure you understand

any behaviour issues a particular dog may have. Are you equipped and prepared to put in the time and money that may be required for training and veterinary care, particularly for any fear and anxiety, aggression, phobias or health issues they may have?

Things to consider • Do you have young kids or are you planning to have children in the future?

• If so, is the breed, size and temperament suitable for babies, toddlers, children?

• Will a dog get the attention/ exercise they need once kids come along? Behaviour issues can often develop when a dog is relegated to the backyard once a new baby arrives, which can lead to resentment and a negative association with the baby.

• Are you able and prepared to do the work required to ensure a smooth introduction, and continue showing your dog the love and positive reinforcement it requires to ensure harmony in a household with dogs and children?

Lifestyle • Will everyone in your household be out at work all day leaving them home alone?

• Do you have an active or sedentary lifestyle? How would this impact on your dog’s need for daily exercise?

Would they join you on your sporting endeavours and is this appropriate for the breed, age, etc.?

• Do you go away on holidays or are you out a lot? If the answer is yes, are you prepared to take them with you?

Home environment • How much room/exercise does the breed need and does your home environment cater for this?

• Do you have a backyard or live in an apartment and is this suitable for the dog/breed you are considering?

• Does it provide adequate shelter and safety?

• Do you rent – what if you move? You might be in a place that accepts pets now, but what are your options if you have to move and can’t take them with you? Do you have family that they are happy with that can help or would you have to surrender them?

Finances The average life of a dog is 10 years, but many small or medium dogs live much longer, costing on average $25,000 over their lifetime in Australia.

• Can you afford to provide

your dog, particularly a large breed or multiple dogs, with the quality diet required to help ensure they have the best chance of good health and behaviour?

• Dogs need monthly flea treatments, annual vaccinations, regular grooming and other health care so are you able to afford to provide these now, and what position would you be in should your work or family circumstances change and impact on your financial circumstances?

• Can you afford the money and time to do dog training and socialisation with a puppy, older or rescue dog?

Emotional time and effort • Are you prepared to do the training and socialisation dogs need as a puppy, as well as the ongoing training for adult dogs to help curb any behaviour issues?

• Will you provide them with the daily environmental enrichment they need for their age and breed?

• Are you able/willing to provide your dog with the level of human interaction dogs need and invest the time to create a bond that helps to develop mutual trust and respect?

Camping with your canine Getting lost, snakes, ticks and open fires all pose risks to pets when camping. So, if you’ve been planning an escape to the great outdoors with your four-legged friend, here are some important tips to remember to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.

Pre-trip it is recommended that you take your pet to the vet for a check-up and to ensure vaccinations are up to date; ensure your pet is covered by the correct tick and flea protection; and that microchip and ID tag details are up to date.

PETstock vet Dr Marjorie Au said “symptoms of tick poisoning include changes to bark, lethargy, vomiting and muscular paralysis, usually starting in the hind legs.

If you suspect your dog may have been bitten by a snake, have tick poisoning or if you fi nd a tick on your pet, seek veterinary attention immediately.”

NOT JUST ANOTHER PET SERVICES COMPANY ...

Pet owners are advised to pack a pet fi rst-aid kit including: a water bottle to prevent dehydration; a towel, which can be used as a bandage, sling or stretcher; bandages and dressings to cover wounds; iodine based antiseptic cream; gloves, scissors, and tweezers to remove splinters, grass seeds or ticks; saline in case you need to wash your pet’s eyes; shampoo for a general wash; and pet sunscreen to protect hairless areas.

Finally, while there’s nothing like cuddling up in front of a fire, you must ensure your dog is far enough from the campfire to avoid burns and sparks and is not in the direct line of smoke.

Between city and country Murrumbateman NSW 13 Rattenbury Close Set on almost five acres between Canberra and Yass, in picturesque Murrumbateman, this family home is ready and waiting to provide someone with the rural lifestyle of their dreams.

Harcourts Brindabella principal Jeremy Maher says this home is move-in ready, with absolutely no hard work to be done.

“The most special feature of this home is that it’s ‘complete’, in such as no further works are required,” he says.

“There is a huge number of properties in this acreage size that have no infrastructure or, in some cases, barely a plant!

“This home has had all the hard work done to create magical 36

canberraweekly.com.au

gardens and even has a very fancy granny flat/cottage.”

He says the ideal buyer of this home is someone looking for a rural lifestyle without “the skills or time to create it”.

“Additionally, they may have extra family members living with them that would be able to live independently in the cottage whilst still being close enough if help was needed.”

The main house boasts four bedrooms and open-plan living, with stunning rural surrounds and gardens including an orchard and veggie gardens. Each bedroom has its very own walk-in robe and ensuite, and a rumpus room on the upper level means there’s space for everyone. The country kitchen is truly

the heart of the home, with a walk-in pantry, opening out to the open-plan meals, family and dining area.

Maher says the north-facing property absorbs the winter sun, while the double-glazed downstairs windows ensure the heat is retained in the colder months.

The five-acre property is located an easy 20-minute drive from the ACT border and therefore extremely easy to access,” he says.

“The location boasts many award-winning wineries. Set almost smack in the middle of Yass and Canberra, the owners would

have a choice of city or country amenities.

“The opportunity to have such a completed acreage home, right down to the last plant, is rare!”

property news

Weekly market wrap Favourable conditions for vendors selling now The number of established properties for sale has remained persistently low since the start of April. Once restrictions prohibiting public auctions and open homes came into effect, vendors who didn’t have to sell simply chose not to. Over the last four weeks, however, early signs of vendor sentiment returning to the market have been evident as the number of established properties advertised as new listings has increased.

Describing market conditions nationally, Louis Christopher, Managing Director of SQM Research, said “it is not unusual for listings to decrease in June as it is the start of the colder winter months”.

“There was a solid increase in new listings.

Indeed, we have more new listings on the market compared to this time last year.

“Listings that were coming up to 90 days dropped the most, indicating that some of the older stock had either been withdrawn or was selling during June. Overall, these numbers on their own would indicate fairly normal activity in the housing market. Of course, we know that conditions are far from normal. And this is illustrated in the fall in vendor asking prices for

the month,” Mr Christopher said.

In Canberra, SQM Research found in June there was an extra 96 new listings which have been on the market for less than 30 days compared to the same time last year. Lack of choice, a persistent frustration for buyers, can be seen with 400 fewer properties advertised for sale compared to the same time last year.

Interestingly, the number of properties advertised for sale for 30-60 days and 60-90 days has decreased month-on-month, showing signs of strength in Canberra’s property market. There was a month-on-month increase of 14 properties advertised for between 90-180 days, demonstrating an unwillingness by some vendors to listen to market feedback until 180+ days on market, where there was a decrease in the number of listings.

Even though stock levels are showing early signs of recovery, a lack of quality stock has created favourable market conditions for those choosing to sell now. Domain reported auction clearance rates in Canberra of 85%89% for three of the last four weeks. These exceptionally high levels of auction clearance demonstrate positive buyer sentiment and a willingness to buy now.

In the rental market, vacancy decreased

High Society ‘tops out’ Geocon is celebrating the topping out of its two High Society buildings, which means Canberra has two new tallest towers.

High Society is part of the developer’s Republic precinct in Belconnen Town Centre, comprising two 27-storey towers standing at 100m and 113m tall.

Geocon’s managing director Nick Georgalis said High Society is “the pinnacle” of the Republic development, which has already seen around 500 residents move in, as well as a Woolworths Metro on Grazier’s Lane.

“As for High Society, there is still plenty to be done to make sure we’re ready to settle by the end of this year,” Mr Georgalis said, including the construction of the pool and wine cellar.

Once complete, High Society will be 38

during June and sits at 1.1% down from 1.3% this time last year. Asking rents for houses have decreased annually by 1% for houses, however, have increased by 2.2% for units.

Market conditions like these demonstrate the value of owning property in Canberra.

Values have historically appreciated during good times; this is consistent, however at more moderate levels than other jurisdictions. This is the trade-off property owners make to receive exceptionally strong resilience to adverse market forces in times when they need it most.

home to just under 600 apartments. The development is expected to settle later this year, with residents to move in preChristmas.

Tomorrow, Friday 24 July, is the inaugural National Property Manager’s Day, and the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA) is encouraging people to recognise the “amazing efforts” of residential and commercial property managers during the pandemic.

“The property managers are the ones who have worked in the background to find solutions as best they can in the current environment,” said REIA president Adrian Kelly.

“This work is continuing as the pandemic is still prolific and especially as the non-eviction period comes to an end.”

The national day of recognition was spearheaded by the Real Estate Institute of NSW, who have encouraged other state and territory Institutes to get on board.

celebrity birthday ROSE BYRNE 24 July 1979 The earthy and practical sign of Capricorn and its ruler Saturn are intimately linked to Rose’s year ahead. Her discipline and farsightedness will help her achieve great things in the coming year. With cautious discernment, slowly and surely, she will reach her goals. Work will overshadow her personal affairs, but she must not let this erode her personal relationships.

Being a workaholic brings great material success but could also cause Rose to become too insular and aloof. She must make time to enjoy the company of friends and family.

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

Your priorities have become a little clearer in recent years, and the work you’ve put into yourself is going to play a major role in the steps you take next. Get ready for new adventures – just remember you’re the one who gets to decide where those adventures might lead.

The past two years have been a major period of growing up for you and payoff is around the corner. The coming months will reveal more of where these changes are taking you, so use this time with clarity and intention, vocalise your values and ask for what you need.

Tackle whatever is feeling stuck by saying goodbye to something that represents the old you. Think of this time as a launching pad to a fresh chapter that’s waiting for you once Spring rolls around. What would you like to make progress with by the end of the year?

You need to get out of your comfort

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

Listen to your intuition and take note of your dreams. Those ideas and inspirations that have made their way into your mind and heart are there for a reason. They deserve your attention, and it’s time to find out why. Be extremely cautious when handling hot or sharp implements as burns and accidents are likely.

Don’t pressure yourself to rush back into anything just yet. This is your time to take it slow. Let life be calm. Leave space in your schedule for pure quiet time without any distractions; turn off your phone and go for a long walk, read a book or pull out a sketch pad and doodle.

This month’s fresh energy breathes some new life into your psyche and allows you to return to feeling like your regular self. Something that was important to you in early 2019 is coming up for review and you may soon realise it’s time to expand in a new direction.

You are meant to evolve, and so are your relationships. Your deepest bonds are about to get even closer, and the relationships you’ve outgrown can make a graceful, mature exit. If you are a parent, it's likely that one of your children will be demanding extra attention.

What is it that you need to learn more about right now? Now is the time to honour your thirst for truth and wisdom. Take your quest for knowledge seriously. Stock up on those best-seller books that are on your wish list or sign up for a workshop or course.

It’s okay to draw new lines if you don’t have anything more to give in a relationship, or to remind someone of a boundary they have crossed.

You will feel so much better once you clear the air, and those who support you will appreciate your honesty.

zone to grow. It won’t be easy, but the change will be worth it. Identify one habit you have with work or money that has you going around in circles. Come up with one thing you can do to begin to break that cycle.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB The universe is teaching you to trust in the process of personal growth this year. Part of the reason your self-perception is off is because you need a break. You’ve been putting in a lot of time and energy to stay the course; don’t lose sight of that.

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR You’ve been struggling to figure out how to support your friends and community during such challenging times, but you need a creative outlet. Choose one of your favourite icons and research their creative processes, learn how they follow their passions and try to apply something like this to your life.

Thanks to Studiocanal, we have 5 adrenaline DVD prize packs valued at $65 each (comprising Countdown, The Furies, John Wick 2 and John Wick 3) to give away in conjunction with the release of Unhinged (MA15+) – in cinemas 30 July.

Academy Award winner, Russell Crowe, stars in Unhinged, a psychological thriller that explores the fragile balance of a society pushed to the edge, taking something we’ve all experienced - road rage - to an unpredictable and terrifying conclusion. Rachel (Caren Pistorius) is running late to work when she has an altercation at a traffic light with a stranger (Crowe) whose life has left him feeling powerless and invisible. Rachel soon finds herself, and everyone she loves, the target of a man who decides to make one last mark upon the world by teaching her a series of deadly lessons. What follows is a dangerous game of cat and mouse that proves you never know just how close you are to someone who is about to become unhinged.

Made In Italy (CTC) is a heart-warming father son story set in glorious Tuscany about bohemian London artist Robert (Liam Neeson), who returns to Italy with his estranged son Jack (Micheál Richardson) to make a quick sale of the house they inherited from his late wife. Neither expects to fi nd the once beautiful villa in such a state of disrepair …

As Robert and Jack painstakingly restore the villa to its previous glory, they also start to mend their relationship. The future may now look quite different and surprise them both.

Made in Italy is due for release at Dendy Canberra on 3 August.
