Feedback invited on Jesmond to Rankin Park ‘missing’ link The refined strategic design of the fifth and final stage of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass, joining Rankin Park and John Hunter Hospital with Jesmond, has been released by Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). The Newcastle Inner City Bypass has been developed in stages over 30 plus years. The first stage, Rankin Park to Kotara, was opened back in 1983. The most recent addition, the fourth stage, was the Shortland to Sandgate stretch which opened to traffic in 2014. As it stands the 3.4 km four lane stretch from Rankin Park to Jesmond will skirt the western side of the hospital then head north through bushland to come out at the junction of Newcastle Road and the Jesmond to Shortland section of the Bypass. The new roadway will allow motorists to avoid 11 sets of traffic lights along the existing route and reduce congestion on the surrounding network of roads including Croudace Street, (continued page 2)

Many local residents received this 8-page publication detailing the current strategic design for the Rankin Park to Jesmond link of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass. RMS welcomes feedback until 9th June.

(from page 1) Lookout Road and Newcastle Road. RMS figures indicate that between 40,000 and 60,000 vehicles use the existing route every day. The design as it stands is not without its critics. Entry and exist ramps from McCaffrey Drive to the bypass are not currently being considered despite calls from residents for them to be included. RMS figures suggest that fewer than 100 vehicles per day would use these ramps. Drivers on McCaffrey Drive wanting to access the bypass for a north or southbound journey will need to negotiate narrow neighbourhood streets to gain access. In addition to this a ‘half’ interchange proposed for the western side of John Hunter Hospital will allow access to the hospital from the north and to the north only. Vehicles accessing the hospital from the south or leaving the hospital to head south will continue to use the Lookout Rd intersection.

Nick steps up to dance for cancer Lambton’s own Nick Kaiser is helping to raise money for the Cancer Council by competing in the ‘Stars of Newcastle’, a Dancing with the Stars style fundraiser pairing local ‘celebs’ with local dancers at Wests New Lambton on Saturday 25 June. Competing against 10 local identities including former Newcastle Knight Marc Glanville and country music star Catherine Britt, Nick was a late call up to the dance-off when his boss, the CEO of Hunter Water, broke his leg. When he’s not ‘cutting a rug’ on the dance floor Nick is media manager for Hunter Water. “Each ‘Star’ has a theme and mine is musical theatre, which will really put me to the test,” Nick told Lambton Local. “I’m dancing to a track from ‘Hairspray’, the musical where John Travolta is in drag for the whole show. “It’s going to be daunting dancing in front of a big crowd at Wests, but it’s all for a good cause and some dance lessons never hurt a bloke.” You can get behind Nick and the Cancer Council by donating to his fundraising tally at www.everydayhero. com.au/event/starsofnewcastle2016. All proceeds go to the Cancer Council. Donations over $2.00 are tax deductible.

World premiere of ‘Good Murder’ at Newcastle Theatre Company’s 2016 Season continues in June with a stage adaptation of the Australian crime novel, Good Murder by Robert Gott. William Power is in trouble. His theatre company’s tour of North Queensland is not going well and now he’s been accused of murder. Naturally he must do what any man with his talent would do. Use his powers of acting to clear his name. The play is set in 1942, in the middle of World War II. Rationing is in full swing and the bombing of Darwin has made for a nervous populace. William and his rag-tag acting troupe, The Power Players, have been tasked with keeping up the wartime spirits of the people of Maryborough. Naturally they have chosen to put on Shakespeare’s bloodiest play: Titus Andronicus. But before the play can open, Polly Drummond is murdered - and Will is the prime suspect. Amy Hill directs a cast of eleven playing over twenty roles between them. Luke Power (playing Will Power), Maddie Lardner, Jake Gillies, Rosemary Dartnell, Alistair Anderberg, Noel Grivas, Gabrielle

Newland, Amanda Woolford, Sarah Gordon, Nicholas Watson and Drew Pittman take on the parts of the Power Players and the citizens of Maryborough. Robert Gott is a leading Australian crime writer. William Power, his ‘dickhead detective’ is a masterful comic creation who has featured in three of Gott’s novels. His works have been nominated several Ned Kelly awards for Australian crime writing. This adaptation of the novel for the stage by local writer Stewart McGowan is a world premiere. A fan of Australian crime writing, McGowan chose the novel because of its Australianness – its broad sense of humour, laconic characters and ridiculous situations. He has worked closely with the Robert Gott, Scribe publishing and members of Newcastle Theatre Company over the last two years to have it ready for the stage. The season runs from 4th to 18th June at NTC’s theatre in De Vitre Street, Lambton. For bookings phone 4952 4958 or book online at newcastletheatrecompany.com.au.

Lambton then, Lambton now Thomas Croudace 15th June 2016 marks 110 years since the death of the man justly known as the father of Lambton. Thomas Croudace was born in 1838 into a coal mining family in Chincliffe in the county of Durham, England. At the age of just 23 he was sent to Australia to be the manager of a new coal mine of the Scottish Australian Mining Company. To this colliery Croudace gave the name “Lambton”, in honour of John George Lambton the Earl of Durham, who had personal and business connections with the Croudace family back in England. The “Lambton” name went on to be used by several collieries, townships, and suburbs. Croudace’s skill as a mining manager was unparalleled, guiding the Lambton colliery with commercial success over 44 years. He introduced innovative mining technologies, and was committed to keeping a close rein on the costs of production, often with a very hands-on approach. In 1867 when miners accidentally dropped a bucket down a shaft they were digging, it was reported …“Notwithstanding that there was some twelve feet of water in the shaft, Mr. Croudace coolly descended, and by letting himself down (through the water) to the bottom, he succeeded in recovering the bucket. This act is regarded here as a very daring one.” Croudace’s commitment to the local community was also unstinting. He served many years as an alderman on both Lambton and New Lambton councils (sometimes on both at the same time!) and was elected as Mayor

Thomas Croudace is rightly known as the father of Lambton. Photograph from the collection of the late Albert Bates. on numerous occasions. He was a generous man, both personally to those in need, and in his capacity as mine manager gifting land and resources to the community for churches, parks, and other public benefits. Croudace retired from active work in 1904 due to ill health, and died

at his residence in New Lambton Heights on 15th June 1906. He was buried in Sandgate cemetery, attended by a large crowd of mourners. You can view these photos and more details at www. lachlanwetherall.com Lambton Local > June 2016 > Page 15

Federal budget

Last month the Federal Government handed down the Budget for the 2016-17 year that includes some of the biggest changes to the superannuation system since 1 July 2007. Some of the major announcements include: • changes to contributions caps, including the introduction of a lifetime non-concessional cap • limits to how much can be transferred into pension phase • removal of work tests for contributions between age 65 and 74 88 Elder St, Lambton • extending eligibility to claim TAX deductions for Phone: 4956 1640 personal contributions • restricting tax-concessions associated with transitionto-retirement pensions.

Advice about compounding from your local pharmacy

with Danielle Miller, Pharmacist from

Elder Street Pharmacy

Here at Elder Street Pharmacy, we are what you call a Compounding Pharmacy. This means that we can make custom medications for you and your family, including your furry family!

The demand for compounding has arisen from our increased understanding that each person is an individual and therefore may require a more targeted approach for their medical and health care needs, thus compounded medications are made exactly to order for each individual patient. We are able to make items such as creams with exact ingredients and strengths specified by your doctor. We are able to source powders in order to make capsules for products that no longer exist on the Australian market, as well as make solid dosage forms such as tablets into liquid preparations so that children have access to medications they wouldn’t usually. Another advantage is we can make medications without added ingredients that can cause allergies such as gluten

or colourings, meaning that your capsules are customised to your needs. We can also source ingredients for medications that are temporarily unavailable from the usual manufacturer so that the best treatment is always available to you. Another group of medications we can make are natural hormone replacement therapies such as troches and creams. These are made from bioidentical hormones, which mean they are made to be exact copies of the hormones the body produces naturally. We also make ointments for dogs, and liquids for bunnys! If your vet needs a special product for your pet we can make that up too. Come see us in store and check out our compounding laboratory and see what customised solutions we can make for you.

Mind matters by Dr Stuart Edser PhD. MAPS. MCCOUNP. MASCH. Principal Psychologist at Newcastle Psychology & Health

Social media

Social media like Facebook has brought us many wonderful opportunities. But there is a shadow side of the street. In my Consulting Rooms, I now regularly come across people whose lives are being made more difficult and more distressing by these platforms. One US based study has found a link in young people between social media and depression. I am not surprised. There are a number of problems. First, social media, no matter what its benefits, is not real life. It is a virtual world and therefore has different values and currency. ‘Likes’ are the coinage. Affirmation is what we’re after. We’ve all seen popular or attractive people garner huge amounts of likes even if they just post a picture of their coffee. And we’ve seen worthwhile posts virtually ignored. For someone struggling with self-worth, this can be devastating. Real life works quite differently to this. Some people like to post their entire personal lives and hold nothing private. Others post a highly censored and often glamorised version of their life so that it looks like they are living the best life imaginable every single day. But of course, they’re not. It’s just an act, published in this way to make their lives look more interesting than they are. What they leave out is probably more important than what they publish. Connection is a good thing. Human beings thrive on it. It drives away depression and enriches our lives in so many ways. But there is nothing that comes close to the old fashioned person-to- person contact where we see our friends and interact in real life. Have a social media life by all means. It can be fun. But let’s not neglect to catch up with our real friends regularly by putting all our efforts into being ‘liked’ in our publishing community. - Stuart Edser

Wills: Do I really own those assets? by Chris Hill-Smith of Appleton Law, Lambton It seems simple, I can gift anything I own in my will. Surprisingly there are many things that we have the possession, use and enjoyment of and which we believe to be our own but which in truth we cannot gift in our will. The family home is a good example. It is very common for the title to the family home to be held in the names of the husband and wife as ‘joint tenants’. If that is the case the home will not form part of the

estate of the deceased spouse and will not pass under a will. The interest the deceased held in the home would pass to the surviving spouse through the right of survivorship. The surviving joint tenant spouse therefore automatically receives the interest the deceased held in the house. The same principle generally applies to joint bank accounts and joint investments. Assets are often owned by private companies and those assets are not able to be gifted in a will. The testator may hold shares in the company and those shares can be gifted but the relationship between the company asset values and the shares will determine what the beneficiaries of the shares will realise. Assets held in trusts are not able to be gifted in wills because the title to the assets is held by the trust and not by the beneficial owner. Family trusts are common and are used for the taxation benefits and asset protection which they can provide. In achieving those outcomes however, the title to the property vests in the trust. Life insurance policies may be owned by someone other than the insured person, particularly when a nomination has been made to another beneficiary. In that situation the funds distributed from the policy will not go to the estate of the deceased. Superannuation is another type of asset which commonly will not go to the deceased estate. Unless a binding death benefit nomination has been put in place, to the estate or to a tax dependant, the fund trustee will have the discretion as to the ultimate destination of the death benefits. Not all superannuation funds allow binding death benefit nominations. For those funds, the trustee will determine who the recipient of the benefits will be. Other assets may be charged or mortgaged with a debt, usually secured against the property and obviously there will be implications for the estate if the intention of the testator is that the property is to be gifted to a beneficiary.

The true meaning of fitness by Anne-Marie Adams, owner/personal trainer at Inspirational Group & Fitness Training Today I wasn’t feeling that well. I had a huge day of work I had to get done, I was tired and quite frankly I did not want to go out for the run I promised myself I would do. I had my run down on my ‘To Do’ list at 11:30am. It came to 11:30 and I talked myself out of it. ‘But she is a trainer who tells everyone else to exercise’ I can hear you say. No matter who you are, you will have days where you are unmotivated. Excuses are easy find and today was one of those days until it got to 4:30 and I was still sitting in front of my computer doing paperwork. I said enough was enough. I got out of my chair, got changed and went for my run. So what changed my mind? Simple, I remembered why I was doing it and what being fit and healthy means to me. Fitness means different thing to different people. To look good is one of the main reasons and with all the ‘Fitspo’ images on the web you would be forgiven to think that is all fitness is about. But it is a lot more than that. For me personally fitness is about • having the energy to get through the day • a stronger mindset so I can tackle problems in my everyday life • being able to run around and act crazy with my niece • a sense of accomplishment and pride when I have conquered what I thought was impossible • to avoid diseases that run in my family. This is how I got back my motivation to go for my run on one of my less motivated days. Fitness is so much more than having an amazing body or being able to do a certain amount of pushups. Sit down and have a think about what fitness really means to you and next time you feel unmotivated remember the true reason why doing that workout is so important and it will make getting it done so much easier to do. So until next time Love life, dream big and become the inspiration Anne-Marie

Keeping pets comfortable over the winter months

Arthritis can affect our pets at any time but the cold winter months in particular can be very tough on joints. Last month I spoke about issues affecting senior pets and arthritis is one of the most common conditions we see. The word arthritis means inflammation of the joint. The cartilage in the joint is worn down causing inflammation and pain. Any joint can develop arthritis. The hips are commonly affected but the knees, elbows and spine can also develop this disease and is seen in both dogs and cats. Symptoms you may notice include: • Stiffness or slowness when getting up or down, or after resting • Difficulty going up or down stairs or for cats; unwillingness to jump • Reduction in activity or a reluctance to exercise Please note the following deadlines will apply to the July 2016 edition of Lambton Local At Greencross Vets Lambton we have some great treatments available to help with this disease.

Lambton High Notes by Mr Martin Rosser On the School Development Day our teachers undertook quality training to support our strategic priority Student Learning to create opportunities for students to achieve their highest potential through dynamic, holistic and differentiated learning. The workshops were presented by Michele Juratowitch who worked with the Gifted Education Research, Resource and Information Centre (GERRIC), and focussed on understanding Giftedness and Talent; learning needs and optimal learning environments; intervention strategies appropriate for high ability students; and planning with colleagues to differentiate subjects and assessments. In addition, we recently facilitated a numeracy session with teachers from our partner schools Lambton, New Lambton and Wallsend South Public focussing on problem solving. This initiative not only strengthens the partnership between our schools, but improves student confidence and efficacy through the implementation of consistent teaching strategies. In the creative arts our music and drama students played a significant role in the 61st Combined Schools ANZAC Service. It focused on the 100th  anniversary of the Battle of Fromelles and featured the story of Private 2056 Matthew Kepple of Kearsley who fought with the 30th Battalion 1st Australian Imperial Force. I would like to acknowledge Mrs Grivas for working with our students and recognise the quality of our students’ performances. Further, our school captains, Ellie Bright and Andrew Gay, represented the school with distinction at the Lambton-New Lambton RSL ANZAC Service. They addressed the patrons and outlined details of the Gallipoli landing and read a poem by Charles Hamilton Sorley, which depicts the paradoxical nature of war, called To Germany. Finally, I would like to acknowledge the following students who represented the state in their chosen sports: NSWCHS Diving Team - Flynn Lanz, Logan Seymour, Harrison Pinkerton, Jacinta Pinkerton, Eliza Carey; NSWCHS Swimming Team - Alexandra Rees, Harrison Little; NSWCHS Rowing - Harrison Bendall, Tom Wilson, Jemma Wilson, Emily Parkes, Darcy Gay, Andrew Gay.
