This week...

From the editor If you’ve read this column before, you'd know I'm fond of dogs – in particular my rambunctious little staffy, Lola. So, obviously I was overjoyed with Georgia Osland’s story, this week, on Delta Therapy Dogs. Organised in the Hunter by Newcastle woman Pam Withers, the program sees trained dogs visit hospitals and care facilities to brighten people's lives. The benefits of animal companionship have been well documented and I defy anyone to not want to pat the cute Golden Retrievers, Jazzy, Misty, Ruby and Millie, owned by Trish and Ralph Carlier, that are featured in our story on page 16. Also, the Newcastle-Hunter branch of Delta Therapy Dogs will be holding a fundraising dog walk around Croudace Bay on 2 April so, get along and support this brilliant cause. This week’s column is a bittersweet one for me – it is my last as I am off to a new job in Sydney. I want to say an enormous “thank you” to my Newcastle Weekly colleagues and everyone who picks up the magazine every week. I am extremely proud to see the way the Hunter community has embraced this magazine, since the magazine started, back in May 2015, and have been constantly amazed with the fantastic stories coming out of our region From next week, Georgia Osland will take over the editorship, and I wish her and the magazine every success for the future. Have a great week.

On the fast track lmost $9 million in capital works in Newcastle’s east end have been fast-tracked in preparation for the Newcastle 500 Supercars event in November. Newcastle councillors voted, last week, to expedite $8.8 million worth of projects – one more than 10 years overdue. They include stormwater drainage and water main upgrades in the east end (originally scheduled for completion in 2004) and renewal of Nobbys Road (now nine years overdue). Newcastle’s first street – Watt Street – will also undergo road resurfacing and renewal works, something which has been in the pipeline since 2009, and was not scheduled on the public works program for another few years. Further, the pathway between Joy Cummings Promenade and Bathers Way at Nobbys will be expanded to a four-metre-wide shared pathway. Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes said the highly-anticipated Supercars event gave the council a chance to put overdue projects in the city’s east end firmly back on the agenda. “Completing them in a single, short timeframe means we will reduce the long-term

disruption to residents and businesses,” she said. “It also significantly reduces the overall cost to ratepayers.” In the lead-up to the event, Supercars management will undertake roadworks in the city, to ensure the race precinct is up to scratch. Supercars will foot the bill for this. Cr Nelmes said these roadworks presented an opportunity to complete vital council work at the same time. “Shortly after Supercars approached us about the possibility of hosting a race, we realised it was more than just a fantastic opportunity to boost the local economy and showcase Newcastle to a global television audience,” she said. The Supercars circuit is still being finalised. The council will seek community feedback on two options: to leave the track running along the current route, via Zaara and Scott streets and Nobbys Road, or an alternative route along Shortland Esplanade between Newcastle Ocean Baths and Nobbys Beach. The council is also seeking advice from Destination NSW and Supercars Australia about this proposal. - Georgia Osland

Hunter economy goes from strength to strength Consumer spending among Hunter households has rebounded above the five-year December average over the last three months, the latest Hunter Region Economic Indicators report shows. Predicted spending over the next three months is pitched at its highest value since 2012. Some businesses are reporting profits on par with pre-Global

Financial Crisis levels. In line with this, the report, compiled by the Hunter Research Foundation Centre, also shows employment grew by 4,900 or 2% across the region in the four months to January. During that same timeframe, full-time employment grew 4.9%, with the education and training; financial and insurance services;

and administration services sectors leading that growth. The Hunter’s unemployment rate is now below the state rate (4.6% compared to 5.1%). House prices continue to rise, with the average residential dwelling price in the region up 7% on December 2015. Prices rose by 8.3% in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie in the year to December 2016, and 6.2% in Port Stephens and Cessnock. The average house price in the Hunter

is now $472,813. “The buoyancy in the residential market owes much to the region’s affordability factor, particularly in Newcastle CBD, and strong rental returns attracting investor interest, especially from babyboomers and first-home buyers,” the report outlined. Infrastructure investment, including the light rail construction in Newcastle, is only expected to drive house price growth further. - Georgia Osland

Toronto streetscape takes shape The revitalisation of the Boulevarde in Toronto is starting to take shape, with stage-three works, continuing west along the southern side toward Cary Street, currently underway. The upgrade works will involve digging and construction in the existing garden area and the road level pavement area, providing new footpaths, increased outdoor dining opportunities, landscaping and the installation of new street furniture. It is expected that stage-three works will be completed in about two months. To minimise disruption, the upgrade works are being undertaken in eight stages over the next 12 months.

Sleep could be missing link From the constant refrains of those around us, we know sleep is good for us – but is it the key to preventing diabetes? Researchers at the University of Newcastle and Hunter Medical Research Institute are on a mission

to get to the bottom of just that. Led by Associate Professor Mitch Duncan, from the university’s Centre for Physical Activity and Nutrition, the team hopes to unlock whether sleep is the missing link in long-term, healthy weight loss,

which goes hand-in-hand with staving off type 2 diabetes. Associate Professor Duncan has been awarded almost $60,000 by Diabetes Australia for a trial called Sleep, Move and Eat – aimed at improving the efficacy of behavioural weight-loss interventions. “Many Australians have poor sleep health, which impacts on their ability to engage in physical activity and also their dietary behaviours,” Associate Professor Duncan explains. “It’s unknown if improving sleep health, in combination with physical activity and diet, can provide a greater weight reduction.” Statistics show that around 75% of Australian adults have poor

sleep, physical activity and dietary habits. At the same time, more than 60% are either overweight or obese, increasing their risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The Australian-first project will explore the effectiveness of sleep plus increased physical activity and dietary behaviour intervention for weight loss, compared to physical activity or dietary interventions alone. It will use a newly-developed app to help people keep track of their sleep and activity, whilst also monitoring their diet. If this approach proves effective, the intervention will be available to the public, thanks to Diabetes Australia’s support. - Georgia Osland

The bowling club sits at the northern end of Dangar Park on public land reserved, since 1918, for “public parks or grounds for public recreation or as places for bathing”. However, the bowling club is facing financial troubles. To alleviate this problem, the

club has proposed to its members that its executive board engage a property development consultant – Touchstone Property Solutions – to advise on the development of its currently-unused bowling green number three, with a view to building senior housing units, which could then be sold. “It appears that the [bowling club] is in the process of entering into a commercial arrangement with property developer,” a council report outlines.

However, the council has reaffirmed its strong and unambiguous support for all parts of Dangar Park, including the Mayfield Bowling Club site, to remain as a public park, free from any development. Cr Doyle and Cr Osborne’s notice of motion reinforced this. “Affordable housing is a priority issue for council planning, but should not be at the expense of public parks and recreation reserves,” it said. - Georgia Osland

A clarification In our 23 February 2017 edition, we published an article, Seeing stars in Newcastle (p27), about Gabe Robinson, who is launching the Hunter Institute of Fashion. In the article, Gabe was quoted as being “uninspired” by the fashion design course offered at TAFE NSW, adding that “there’s still nothing catered to the 19-year-old me, here in this buzzing town; there’s still only the same outdated TAFE course I did.” We wish to clarify that these are the opinions of Mr Robinson and in no way reflect those of Newcastle Weekly. We further wish to clarify that TAFE NSW continually updates the curriculum through National Training Packages to meet the changing demands of industry and its students.

People who own, manage or live in a strata property need to acquaint themselves with the new by-laws.

Cosmetic changes that affect common property no longer need approval, and it’s now easier to understand what structural changes require approval. Tenants can now also be represented on strata committees, if at least half of the units in their strata scheme are rented. They still need their landlord’s approval for renovations. Strata committees can now implement their own processes for resolving internal disputes. However, the option to go through mediation with NSW Fair Trading is still available. People who own, manage or live in a strata property need to review the by-laws by 30 November, and consider any changes that might affect them.

To help keep the NewcastleHunter branch afloat, dog-lovers are invited to a fundraising dog walk at Croudace Bay Park, Croudace Bay on Sunday 2 April. The ‘We All Need A Little Therapy’ walk starts at 10am. Registration is at 9am on the day, or online via stickytickets.com.au It costs $10 per dog; $15 for two or $20 for three or more dogs.

Jazzy visits Uniting Care Koombalah in Elermore Vale once a week, while Misty is well-loved by staff and patients at Rankin Park Centre rehabilitation unit. Both dogs have been through considerable training to adapt to all kinds of situations, where they are often exposed to unexpected sights, sounds and smells. Trish and Ralph signed up to volunteer with the program a year ago. They have found the benefits to be endless. “We love it,” Trish said. “It brings so much joy to the people we visit. We have beautiful dogs, and when we heard of the program, we thought it would be great to share that with other people.” The Delta Society, which runs the Delta Therapy Dogs program, is a registered charity, and it relies on community support to keep it going.

The program aims to meet one or more of the following objectives: • Promote community involvement; • Enhance broad social interaction with local community; • Promote sporting activity; • Implement community-generated environmental programs to improve the environment of the area.

Dogs roam free The leash-free dog area at Croudace Bay’s Thomas H Halton Park will be spared, under Lake Macquarie council’s draft master plan for the park. Newcastle Weekly reported last May, when the council was still drafting its master plan, that the tight-kit Croudace Bay dogwalking community was worried it might lose the time-restricted, leash-free area in a park overhaul. Well, the draft master plan is now ready for public exhibition and there is no indication that the leashfree dog area will be scrapped. In fact, the council is proposing to add a separate, fenced dog exercise area that is heavily shaded and close to proposed new amenities. One of the regular dog-walkers, who wished to remain anonymous, said this was great news. “I’m really happy the council

listened to us,” they said. Prepared in consultation with key stakeholders, the community, visitors to the park, and council staff, the draft master plan also outlines an upgraded playground with picnic facilities; a learner cyclist circuit; a skate and BMX park; outdoor fitness equipment and exercise circuit; and a location for a semi-permanent or permanent café. The draft plan will soon be placed on public exhibition for 28 days. View all current exhibitions at lakemac.com.au/public-notices

news Some of the Warners Bay Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group members. Photo: Adam Clappison The inaugural Newcastle & Hunter Racing Hall of Fame inductees.

Racing icons immortalised The first of many Hunter horseracing identities were inducted into the inaugural Newcastle & Hunter Racing Hall of Fame last week. Associates A.O ‘Alf’ Ellison and Athol Albert ‘Billy’ Hall; trainers Max Lees and Paul Perry; jockeys Wayne Harris and Robert Thompson; and race horses Rogilla and Luskin Star all shared in the honour. More than 150 people attended the gala dinner at Newcastle Racecourse to celebrate with the winners, who were among 59 nominees across four categories.

Hall of Fame Chairman, Brian Judd, said he was thrilled the event shone a light on the region’s rich racing history. “The awards have been launched to recognise the extraordinary contribution of these associates, trainers, jockeys and racehorses to the Newcastle and Hunter region or the wider Australian thoroughbred industry,” he said. The eight inductees will have a plaque dedicated to them in the soon-to-be-designed Hall of Fame Garden at the racecourse.

Sustainability soldiers Look out Warners Bay, there’s a Sustainable Neighbourhood Group coming to town, especially for you. Warners Bay Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group will celebrate its official launch at the weekly Music in the Podium event at Warners Bay foreshore this Friday 24 March from 5pm. Residents of Warners Bay and surrounding suburbs – including Croudace Bay, Eleebana, Lakelands and Macquarie Hills – are invited to attend the launch. While the event formally marks the group’s establishment, the group has been working quietly behind the scenes for some time now, and is ready to share its Sustainable Neighbourhood Action Plan with the community. You can find out more about this, and which community projects the group has earmarked to start later this year, at Friday’s launch.

In what is proving to be a topsy-turvy start to the 2017/18 season, the Newcastle Knights were edged out by South Sydney in a 24-18 defeat at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday. A hotly contested first half saw Souths nab the first four points courtesy of a sixth-minute try from fullback Alex Johnson, before John Sutton crossed the line in the 20th minute to extend the lead to 10-0. Following Souths’ George Burgess being sent to the sin bin, the Knights found themselves within four points thanks to a converted try from Trent Hodkinson. Rabbitohs centre Hymel Hunt was put on report for a high tackle on Knights fullback Brendan Elliot, before Sione Mata’uita found brother Peter who crossed the line to make it 10-all. Hodkinson took the Knights into the lead, just

before half-time, with a penalty goal making it 12-10. Just minutes into the second half, Souths found the line again after a pin-point k9ick from Cody Walker found winger Bryson Goodwin, who took the four points, while a conversion made it 16-12. Former Panthers Under 20s player Braiden Burns was next to score for Souths, with his first-ever Rabbitohs try taking souths to 2212 after 58 minutes. With Trent Hodkinson sent from the field for dissent with 10 minutes left, a penalty goal stretched the lead to 24-12. Just before the siren Knights winger Ken Sio found the line and while Brock Lamb converted, it was too little too late and the Rabbitohs walked away with a 24-18 win. Newcastle will take on Penrith Panthers at Pepper Stadium this Friday night. Kick-off is at 6pm.

For Ciaran, whose background is in the opera (with such credits as Lucia di Lemmermoor, Don Giovanni and Il Trovatore to his name), traversing such eclectic musical territory – from Jesus Christ Superstar to West Side Story – in the space of one show, can prove to be quite a workout. “It can be a challenge, but

With such seminally slinky albums as Night of The Wolverine, You Wanna Be There But You Don’t Want To Travel, The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound and I Was The Hunter…and I Was The Prey, Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes became one of the stand-out acts on the 90s Aussie indie rock circuit. They cut through the chaff with wit, flash and weirdness and were born from the ashes of Dave Graney and long-time partner in musical crime Clare Moore’s seminal post punk act, The Moodists. They won the ARIA Award for best video in 1997 for Feelin’ Kinda Sporty while Dave was awarded the best male vocalist ARIA of 1996 for his work on The Soft ‘n’ Sexy Sound. Recently, and for the first time since 1997, the Coral Snakes reformed to perform classics from their soft and sexy songbook, with the original gangsters who made their much-acclaimed masterpiece Night of the Wolverine - Dave Graney on vocals, Clare Moore on drums, Rod Hayward on guitar, and Robin Casinader on piano. Due to popular demand the band bring it all back to Newcastle for one night only. Catch Dave Graney and the Coral Snakes at Lizottes, Lambton on Friday 31 March.

Maitland’s Reamus Youth Theatre will be turning to ‘real-life’ for their next production – the Australian premiere of the surreal-yet-sobering drama Reamus Youth Theatre’s Dreamtime. Conagh Punch in Dreamtime. The playwright, Maura Campbell, lived briefly in Kiama on the South Coast in the 1970s however, years later, while living in Vermont in the US, she was struck by a true-crime story of two professors who are murdered by two youths. She actually knew the children who committed the crimes, having worked as an artist-inresidence at their school. She then wrote Dreamtime against the backdrop of the Vermont murders and the Columbine shootings. The play created quite a furore in her home state and also gained national coverage. Dreamtime is on at Maitland Repertory Theatre (244 High Street,) from Friday 24 March to Saturday 1 April. Visit maitlandreptheatre.org for bookings.

the Sea, or her five-metre tall public commission, Caught, on the harbour at Wickham. However, Kelly is working on a smaller scale for this show. In fact, the smallest collaborators for the show are honeybees. “Honeybees are nature’s ultimate architects, building complex honeycomb in perfect hexagonal repetition and we hope to share the wonder and gratitude we feel for these important little pollinators and architects,” Kelly-Ann said. Both Kelly-Ann and Anna are inspired by the natural world and, alongside their honeybee collaboration, will have works made of metal, timber and beeswax that study leaves, seed pods and other environmental wonders. Second Nature will be on display at Art Systems Wickham (40 Annie Street, Wickham) from Friday 24 March to Sunday 9 April. art-systems-wickham.com

CLOTHING LABEL SUPPORTS ANTI-BULLYING CAMPAIGN

WITH FASHION & BEAUTY EDITOR, GEORGIA OSLAND

A favourite fixture on the Newcastle market scene, the Hunt & Gather Markets have moved to from Pacific Park, Newcastle to Gregson Park, Hamilton.

Hunt & Gather Markets are shifting from Pacific Park to Gregson Park.

The first market at Hunt & Gather’s new home was slated for last weekend, but the event was postponed to this Saturday 25 March due to wet weather. Gregson Park is where market curators, sisters Karla Cowper and Gemma Slattery, held their annual Sunset Gather live music and entertainment event in December. It is befitting, then, that the market’s evolution has seen it shift to the popular park, which Karla and Gemma believe is more accessible to more Novocastrians. Market-goers can expect the same, well-loved format in the new location.

Supré clothing stores around Australia will stock a free, specially-published anti-bullying booklet from 27 March. The Supré Foundation has teamed up with national youth mental health service, headspace, to release Bullying. So Not OK., which aims to educate and empower young people to be assertive against bullying. The campaign is fronted by actress Lilly Van der Meer, who has experienced bullying firsthand. The booklet will also be available at any of headspace’s 96 centres, including headspace Newcastle. You can also download it via supre.com.au and headspace.org.au after the release date.

However, next month, Karla and Gemma will launch a new market, in conjunction with the gang at The Greenroof Hotel in Hamilton. On the first Friday of each month, they will transform the hotel’s carpark into a pre-loved clothing and accessories market, called the Friday Flea. It will be complete with an island bar, cocktails, and 80s and 90s music. For more information, visit huntandgathermarkets.com.au

Lingard Private Hospital advertising moment

Lingard Private Hospital – meeting the changing needs of the community The Lingard Private Hospital building was constructed in the early 1970s and was originally commissioned as a nursing home. n 1981, the nursing home was transformed into a surgical hospital to accommodate a growth in the local community and demand for quality health care services. The hospital was originally constructed with three operating theatres, 63 surgical, 28 medical, and 39 mental health beds, and officially opened its doors in November 1982. Over the years, Lingard Private Hospital has had a number of owners including HCA, HCoA (which later became Mayne Health), Affinity Health, and was finally acquired by Healthe Care Australia in 2006. Since the acquisition, Healthe Care has undertaken extensive redevelopment works at Lingard Private Hospital in order to meet the changing needs of the community. The growth has included the addition of four new operating

theatres, taking the total to seven, and the rebuilding of all patient ward areas, to replace out-dated four-bed wards with modern, private rooms. New services were also introduced, including cardio and vascular, which are supported by two, state-of-the-art labs, an Intensive Care unit and a Coronary Care unit. Lingard’s other services, supported by more than 200 credentialed visiting medical officers, include orthopaedic surgery, neurosurgery, urology, gynaecology, pain management, ophthalmology, ENT surgery, dental, general surgery, bariatric surgery and rehabilitation. “Healthe Care Australia has realised the potential of this facility and its role in the local community. Working together with the surrounding medical precinct, community

groups, doctors and relevant agencies, Lingard Private Hospital will continue to service the community well into the future,” Chief Executive Officer Karen Gallagher said. The facility will commence the sixth stage of development, in coming months, providing more inpatient beds and three additional operating theatres. In addition, a Medical Centre will be built to support Lingard's Medical Community.

RICOTTA & BABY PEAR TART

It’s autumn and pears are in season. Try using fresh, new season Australian pears to create this gorgeous tart. This is an edited extract from Acquacotta by Emiko Davies published by Hardie Grant Books, $49.99, and is available in stores nationally.

Poached pears

Peel the baby pears. Leave the stems on (I don’t core them, as they are so small and tender they don’t need it). Slice about 5mm off the bottom of the pear, so that they have flat bottoms to sit on. Roughly chop the pear offcuts and leave aside to add to the ricotta mixture. If you’re making this dish with regular sized pears, peel and slice them into quarters and remove the core.

7–9 baby pears 55g (¼ cup) sugar Pastry 250g (1 cup) plain flour 100g caster sugar 125g (½ cup) cold butter, chopped Pinch of salt

Slide the pears into a saucepan of simmering water with the sugar to add a touch of sweetness. Cook for 15 mins, or until just tender. Remove the pears, drain and let them cool.

1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk Filling 500g (2 cups) ricotta 100g caster sugar

To make the pastry, combine the flour, sugar and butter together in a bowl. Using your fingers, rub together until there are no more visible pieces of butter (or pulse in a food processor). Add the salt and egg plus yolk and combine until it comes together into a smooth ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and put in the fridge to rest for 30 minutes, then roll out on

Zest of 1 lemon 1 tsp vanilla extract (or scraped seeds of ½ vanilla pod) 2 eggs To serve: Icing sugar (optional) Photographer Food: ©Lauren Bamford. Photographer Lifestyle: ©Emiko Davies.

cover story

a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thick. Lay over a 22-25cm round pie dish and trim the borders. Prick the surface gently all over with the tines of a fork. Preheat the oven to 180ºC. To make the filling, combine the ricotta, caster sugar, lemon zest, vanilla and eggs, and mix until smooth. Pour over the pastry-lined pie dish and smooth over. Carefully push the pears into the ricotta filling, then bake in the oven for 45 mins, or until the top is firm and slightly coloured golden brown and the pastry crust is golden. Let it cool completely before serving and, if you like, just at the last moment sprinkle over some icing sugar – this will mostly sink into the surface of the ricotta and the pears, so you won’t see much of it, but it will add a hint of sticky sweetness. Store tart in the refrigerator and eat within 2-3 days.

How-to: prepare your home for sale This the one question we get asked the most at Century 21 Novocastrian. Here is my sevenstep checklist to help you on your way. 1. Depersonalise. Potential buyers need to imagine themselves in your home. As such, you need to ensure that your property is neutral in this regard. Put away personal photos, take down posters and remove those personal items magnetised to your fridge. 2. Declutter. You still need to live in your home whilst selling, but this is the quickest way to improve your home and make a major difference. Rid the home of surplus, bulky furniture and clutter in the bedrooms and kitchen. If you have little ones, pack away their toys in a toy chest – it will help drastically. 3. Make it shine. Dust and shine stainless steel/chrome, and ensure every window or glass surface is shiny and clean. My rule for home owners is once you have cleaned it, clean it again and then send in the mother-in-law. 4. Light over dark. By opening up all the blinds and shutters in your home and utilising natural light, you’ll highlight the home’s

best features and abate any negative, subliminal feelings With Century 21 a buyer Novocastrian licensed real might have estate agent, Chad Dunn. about dark, enclosed spaces. 5. Create the mood. Stage your home to appeal to emotional – not price-conscious – buyers. A lot can be said about property styling. Many people approach furniture companies, but you might have friends or family members with a flair for interior design who would be willing to give a second opinion. 6. Feng Shui it. It is widely known that some cultures prefer not to have a clear view from the front door to the back door. This might be easily fixed by having a coat rack or mirrored bookshelf in the foyer, blocking the view to the rear. 7. Choose the right team to assist. Selling your home can be exhausting if you don’t have the right team behind you. When choosing a real estate agent, conveyancer, or stylist, make sure they are people you feel comfortable with.

PICK OF THE WEEK The Dark Knight

Dark Shadows

Saturday, NBN, 9pm, M (2008) Heath Ledger’s (left) portrayal of The Joker cemented his place as one of Hollywood’s greats. The Dark Knight sees Gotham’s rising superhero (Christian Bale) making progress in his vigilante quest, with the help of Lt Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman) and newly appointed District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart). That is, until the appearance of psychopathic mastermind The Joker, whose escalating violent games throw the city into a new era of darkness.

Friday

Sunday, GO!, 9pm, M (2012) Johnny Depp (left) is perfectly cast in this absorbing comedydrama based on the gothic soap opera of the same name. Known for playing quirky characters, Depp takes on the role of wealthy 1750s playboy Barnabas Collins. After he breaks the heart of a witch, she turns Barnabas into a vampire and buries him alive. When he is accidentally freed some 200 years later, he returns to his mansion to find it in ruin and occupied by a host of his dysfunctional descendants.

A Beautiful Mind

Monday, GEM, 8.50pm, M (2001) A beautiful movie about the mind of real-life mathematician John Nash. Russell Crowe’s (right) astonishing performance is the centrepiece of this dazzling insight into Nash’s genius and his schizophrenic torture. Masterfully directed by Ron Howard, this unforgettable drama won the Oscar for Best Picture and for Jennifer Connolly’s performance as Nash’s wife Alicia. The fine cast also includes Ed Harris and Paul Bettany.

LADY GAGA (STEFANI GERMANOTTA) 28 March 1986

The next 12 months is a time of change for Lady Gaga when she needs to flow with the universe and not try to exercise too much control over events. Her personal life and career will be affected by outside circumstances over which she has no control. It’s time to let go of the old and to welcome new situations, people, places and experiences into her life.

23 - 29 MARCH 2017

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

The New Moon on the 28th falls directly in your own sign and you may feel that you would like to be treated like a king or queen and fortunately, your nearest and dearest will be happy to fulfil your regal dreams and demands. Lucky you!

The New Moon on the 28th indicates that a colleague could become a good friend and the chance to network could build valuable connections. The planets will also encourage you to concentrate on your health and wellbeing and also that of your family.

The New Moon on 28 March is the ideal time to demonstrate with small gestures just how much your loved ones mean to you. Show your appreciation and give in to a romantic impulse. Let there be no uncertainty about the depth of your feelings.

Patience may be a dirty word to you,

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

The New Moon on 28 March brings the clarity you have been seeking in regards to your relationships. There is still much work to be done and nothing is going to improve overnight, however, the outlook is much brighter and you are on the right track.

The New Moon on 28 March indicates that long distance connections or travel plans could change, but going with the flow and letting it all unfold will guide you. Also surprise news will lead you to rethink a special personal project.

The New Moon on the 28th is the ideal time for a fresh start at work. It also indicates that a visit to your local doctor may be in order to help you get on top of an issue or ailment. Take the opportunity to listen to music, read a romantic novel or enjoy looking at something beautiful.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21

The New Moon on the 28th indicates that a surprise turn of events romantically will keep you guessing. At work, an ambitious project or plan will forge ahead and a cluster of extra chores will keep you busy. Be easy on yourself, you don't need to store up stressful problems for the future.

The 28 March New Moon indicates a highly enjoyable time is on the cards as the planets combine to put you into a romantic frame of mind. Established relationships will benefit from a renewed closeness. If you are solo, this is an excellent time to find a soul mate.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 23

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21 The 28 March New Moon indicates a renewed understanding can be reached with your loved ones. Friends, family and partners could all be making demands upon your time, just when you most need a little space for yourself. Do what you must and let them do the rest for themselves.

yet you'd be wise to exercise some this week. The New Moon on the 28th is a tremendously exciting day as visitors drop in, the phone doesn't stop ringing and the whole world seems desperate for your company.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19 The 28 March New Moon indicates your confidence will be on a real high and you will feel absolutely sure you are on the right path. A romance or relationship will begin to move in the right direction and you will have a real chance to sort out any misunderstandings.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20 The New Moon on the 28th indicates any secrets around you will be secrets no longer, for you will be able to see straight through any deceit with little trouble. This should be an inspired day that brings out inner abilities you didn't know existed.

COPING WITH WEATHER You would’ve noted there is no happy medium with our weather – too hot in spring, more than hot in summer, too humid (even now), and far too much rain! Well, at least for the garden, with all sorts of problems emerging. I once had a buxus hedge that surrounded the swimming pool, which was at the bottom of a slope - the hedge on the downside of the slope took all the water flow and would become yellow and discoloured whilst the other three sides stayed green. Each year whenever we had the coastal downpours I’d apply dolomite and the hedge would recover – worth a try. Roses are covered in black spot, which is not unusual during high humidity, but this year, it’s a huge problem. Spray with copper oxychloride and apply dolomite to each rose. It also helps to have a regular feeding pattern

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

each month to develop stronger, more resilient plants. Lawns are soaking, making it difficult to mow. When grass dries, don’t cut hard, raise the blades, then do a follow-up cut in a week’s time. Throw lime around the lawn. This will balance that which the rain has leeched out. If little mounds of dirt appear, they are probably earthworms, not a lawn pest. They are just surfacing because they are drowning underneath. Don’t panic. They will head down under when it is drier. Mealy bug is becoming prevalent on indoor plants, especially those with broad leaves. Check the underside for the pesky white insects that look a little like flour. Spray with Malathon, mixed with white oil.

THIS WEEK... • Dig out rain-affected annuals - veggies and flowers. Might be best to start again with the new- season plants. • Pumpkin and watermelons should be picked ready for storage - a shrivelled stem is a good indicator that they are ready. • Complete fertilisation of citrus - use citrus food and poultry manure on ground grown plants and Bouceback on potted citrus.
