Newcastle Weekly contents

thursday 30 march 2017

This week... From the editor I've known I wanted to be a journalist since I was 11 or 12. My dad read to me religiously when I was a child (I still can't work out whether that was the result of proactive parenting on his part or relentless begging on mine), and it was in those moments I believe my affinifty for words was sealed. When the time came to study at university, I chose journalism with great fervour. On the first day – during my very first lecture, in fact – the lecturer told our class only two of us were likely to land jobs. Dad can still recall how I came home, that day, and proclaimed I'd be one of those two people. It gives me great pleasure and an enormous sense of pride, then, to be writing this column from the editor's chair at Newcastle Weekly. I have worked in community news and print media for almost four years now, and believe me when I say, it pays to build a career out of something you love – and not just cash in the bank. When I'm crafting a story, I'm in the zone; it's like a great, big puzzle I can't wait to solve. On that note, there are some great yarns in this week's magazine, including one on Newcastle's first wholesale flower market, and a tale of a local cancer survivor who's using her story to help others. - Georgia Osland

Member for Maitland Jenny Aitchison outside the existing Maitland Hospital.

All options back on table he new hospital to be built in Maitland could still operate publicly. Last September the state government announced the new Lower Hunter Hospital, slated for construction by 2019, would operate under a public-private partnership, where a private

Now in le t Newcas

proprietor would deliver healthcare to both private and public patients. This announcement came under the previous health minister, Jillian Skinner. However, in his recent visit to the existing Maitland Hospital, newly-appointed health minister Brad Hazzard reportedly told

staff and other officials, including Member for Maitland Jenny Aitchison, that all options for the hospital’s management were back on the table. Mr Hazzard said he was not “locked in” to the original publicprivate partnership proposal, Ms Aitchison told Newcastle Weekly. Ms Aitchison said the community held grave concerns about the potential privatisation of the new hospital, so it was welcome news for Maitland that the government was considering other options. “[Mr Hazzard] has to walk the walk on this one, but it’s good to see more openness and transparency from the government,” she said. “With a catchment area of some 250,000 people in Maitland, we need a public hospital; for us not to have a fully public hospital would just be insane.” It is unclear as yet when the

Bright Home

government will make a decision. What Ms Aitchison does know, however, is that a new hospital is greatly needed. She said there had been no changes in infrastructure to the existing Maitland Hospital in 11 years. The government’s original, preelection proposal was for a 650-bed hospital, similar in size to John Hunter Hospital. It is earmarked for construction on a parcel of Crown Land on Maitland Road, on the old Brickworks site. While finer details surrounding the hospital’s construction remain sketchy, Ms Aitchison said Mr Hazzard made some “positive remarks” regarding its size, agreeing that any new hospital would need to cater to Maitland’s growing population. “I want a new hospital – a big hospital – and I want it now,” she said. “Let’s just get on with it and do it.” - Georgia Osland

Tap into the goodness of water Supercars chief executive officer James Warburton, driver Scott McLaughlin, Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes, and driver James Courtney.

Officials revved up for race Supercars officials paid a visit to Newcastle, last week, to inspect the Newcastle 500 circuit ahead of the inaugural event in November. Chief executive officer James Warburton; leading drivers Scott McLaughlin and James Courtney; and circuit engineers joined Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes for a tour of Newcastle’s east end before roadworks to prepare the city for the race start next month. Mr Warburton told Newcastle

Weekly it was great to get the drivers’ impressions of what will be the biggest event to hit Newcastle. “It’s a very challenging design, which offers great passing opportunities for spectacular racing with spectacular beaches to one side, city streets to another and the parklands as the hub,” he said. The Newcastle 500 is the grand final of the Virgin Australia Supercar Championship for the next five years.

With childhood obesity a growing problem, the message to kids is clear: switch sugary drinks for water. It’s readily available from the tap, contains no calories (no surprises there) and costs less than soft drink. But sometimes, getting kids to drink more water is like getting them to eat their vegetables. Hunter Life Education has made drinking water fun with the launch of WATER 4 LIFE, a challenge to increase kids’ water intake. Students are encouraged to drink nothing but water for two weeks, and raise money for their school to host free Hunter Life Education sessions. St Columban’s Primary School, Mayfield students were the first to hear all about the challenge at the program’s launch last Wednesday (which, incidentally, was International Water Day).

By engaging students in the school-wide campaign, Hunter Life Education aims to address the problem of childhood obesity at a grassroots level. Currently, 22% of Australian children under the age of 12 are overweight or obese. Obesity and excess weight can cause preventable health issues such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer. It is hoped the WATER 4 LIFE challenge will go a long way toward reducing these statistics. - Alice Hennen

Newcastle in full bloom

Jess Eckford-Aguilera has curated Newcastle’s first wholesale flower market.

t’s well-known around these parts that if you’re in the floristry business, you’re likely making frequent trips to Sydney to buy your blooms. Well, the wait is over, Newcastle, with the city’s first wholesale flower market launching in late April. Curated by Lambton mum-ofthree Jess Eckford-Aguilera, whose background and passion is event planning and management (much of which revolves around floristry), Newcastle Flower Markets will be open to traders – florists, stylists, cake decorators and the like – on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the public on Fridays. The market will operate out of the warehouse currently occupied by Newcastle City Markets on Rural Drive, Sandgate. The two markets will run concurrently. In fact, it was chatting

to the honest, hard-working blokes at the fruit and vegetable markets – one of two in the state that distribute fresh produce – while doing her own fruit and veg shopping that got Jess thinking about starting up a flower market. “I was talking to one guy, who almost had tears in his eyes; he said: look around, all these offices upstairs are empty,” Jess said. “They’ve been squashed by the big players. “I believe in shopping local and supporting small businesses, so I rang my husband and I said: I’m going to get these markets back, if it’s the last thing I do.” So, Jess set about garnering support for the flower market, as a way to boost patronage for the fruit and vegetable markets. She said, already, 600 florists had registered their interest in trading

at the market – some from as far as north as Port Macquarie, Armidale and Tamworth. Student florists will receive a discounted membership, and Jess plans to hold educational workshops. She says not only will the markets help build a sense of community in Newcastle, it will ease the frustrations of many. “I was one of those florists who had to travel to Sydney,” she said. “You’re wasting a whole day fighting against the public, traffic and parking. Before you know it, there goes your passion for flowers.” Newcastle Flower Markets will open for trade from 20 April.

Care or Disability Care, or equivalent nursing qualifications. Each client is matched to a support worker with similar backgrounds and interests, to ensure the best possible relationship of trust between client and support staff, and consistency in care by the same support worker every time. “We work really hard to find the best carers for our clients,” Kerrie said. Home Care Assistance Newcastle also looks after its support workers, by paying them an abovethe-award rate and providing them with thorough training in dementia care, nutrition, mobility care and hospice care. Job satisfaction among the support workers means that they can deliver the best possible care to their clients. It’s easy to reach a case manager in an emergency, and the same person is available to respond to any issues, rather than speaking to different people in a call centre.

Value for money is also a key priority at Home Care Assistance Newcastle. There are no case management fees, which means a client's budget goes entirely toward their care. There are also no exit fees, so if in-home care is no longer suitable for the client, it’s free to cancel.

There is something for everyone, whether it’s laying down some beats in the drumming circle, getting the creative juices flowing at the interactive art table, or providing input on community projects. Support services, including the Cancer Council, Legal Aid and

Samaritans, will also be on hand. The event is coordinated by Samaritans in partnership with schools, local charities and businesses.

Art and counselling helps to heal Photo: Flow Mountain Bike

On a particularly black day, local artist Sonja Menhennitt, had become so desperate, she called every psychologist and counselling service. The last number on that list was Lifeline. “The receptionist realised I was in real trouble, and asked me to come in straight away. Lifeline saved my life that day,” Sonja says. Sonja uses “art as therapy”, and Lifeline’s face to face counselling to help in her healing process. This painting, “Neuroplasticity – growing healthy brain trees”, represents the vision she keeps foremost in her mind to be mentally well again.

Pump those pedals From one port to another, this is one mountain bike ride you don’t want to miss. The Port to Port MTB takes in some of the best sights the region has to offer, starting at Nelson Bay; winding past the crystal blue waters of Port Stephens; the lush vineyards of the Hunter Valley; and finishing up in the heart of Newcastle. Registrations are already pouring in for this year’s event, which was officially launched last Wednesday The four-day ride from 25 to 28 May is packed with obstacles, including sand tracks, fire trails, steep hill climbs and dizzy descents, with the option to join in as a Weekend Warrior on the Saturday and Sunday. To register visit porttoportmtb.com.au

“The “brain trees” (or synapses), are pruned back by changing learned behaviour. By replacing bad thoughts with good thoughts, you will grow healthy golden branches,” she says. “I write down one positive inspiration each day such as ‘My heart is not hurting as much today’. Sometimes it’s hard, but I keep trying.” Sonja says Lifeline continues to be an integral part of her recovery. “If you want to get well you need to work hard, and trust your counsellor. They want to see you heal, and they won’t give up on you. I am well on the way to growing beautiful golden brain trees, and, I AM ALIVE.” Sonja’s artwork helps to ﬁnancially support her in reaching her goals to recovery. Visit www.bluethumb.com.au/smx

Central Village Mayfield offers a truly unique lifestyle for over-55s. Photos: Peter Stoop

Upsize your lifestyle Over-55s are making the move to Central Village Mayfield to downsize their home and upsize their lifestyle.

entral Village is a new, over-55s community, conveniently located in the inner-city suburb of Mayfield East, just four kilometres from Newcastle CBD. This master-planned village offers a lifestyle unmatched anywhere in the Hunter. Newcastle harbour, beaches, entertainment, recreation and retail services are all at your fingertips. The village’s architecturally-designed homes meet universal design principles, making them well-suited to older people and adaptable for people who require mobility assistance. There are a range of modern, single-level cottages to choose from, combining style and functionality, with a number of cost-cutting innovations including energy-saving LED lighting, energy efficient gas hot water and passive cooling systems. If you’re thinking of downsizing, there are several reasons why Central Village Mayfield is a stand-out choice. Firstly, when you purchase in a land lease

village, you don’t pay stamp duty because you are leasing the land. You will generally pay a lot less for a new home than what you would sell your old home for. When you live in a village community, you’re investing in yourself. It’s no longer about the job, the garden, the house or the kids – it’s about you. Just a short walk from Mayfield Wests, you’ll have access to the pool, gym, cafes, as well as supermarkets, the beach and Newcastle CBD. You’ll be living with like-minded people in peace and quiet. There will be no noisy university students renting next door, and you’ll have the opportunity to engage with your neighbours or retire to your home if you wish. Living in a new home also takes away the hassle of maintaining an older home. Lastly, Central Village Mayfield provides you with all the services you need to make a smooth transition from your old home to your new one, including marketing, presentation, negotiation and even removals.

A TALE OF SURVIVAL and radiation therapy. “The odds were stacked against me,” she said. “But I kept going anyway. I was a little bit angry with it all, but you’ve just got to do what you can to deal with it.” Denise entered what she calls “complete survival mode” – she followed a strict diet and used relaxation and compartmentalisation techniques. Part of her therapy came in the form of diarising her battle. All up, she accumulated about five diaries. But it wasn’t until she received promising news from her doctors in 2015, that if the cancer was going to

Whitebridge author Denise Sweeney, and her memoir, Steps to Survival (above).

return it would have already done so by then, that Denise considered publishing a book about her battle. It was her daughter who had suggested it initially. “It got me thinking,” Denise said. “I realised it was a good way of helping other women. I wanted my story to give them hope." Denise published her memoir, Steps to Survival, on 1 March 2016. “It was very hard to write because every time I sat down at the computer, I relived it all.”

Denise will give a talk about her book next Friday 7 April at the Newcastle Writers Festival (7-9 April). Entry to Denise's event (1.30 to 2.30pm at Newcastle City Hall - Hunter Room) is free, but some events are ticketed. Visit newcastlewritersfestival.org.au for a full program. - Georgia Osland

Everyone, no matter how little or well-known, has a story to tell. Even Whitebridge author Denise Sweeney, who, by her own definition, has “no profile”. In 2008, while studying a Masters in Health Psychology, Denise was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. She underwent a complete hysterectomy, which affords around a 95% survival rate. Unfortunately for Denise, she happened to be in the other 5%. The cancer returned, four months later, as a rare and aggressive clear cell cancer. Denise underwent a second surgery, as well as chemotherapy

Mojo Health advertising moment

Mojo Health stocks a range of gluten and dairy-free Easter goodies.

Enjoy Easter again Do you hear the word ‘Easter’ and clutch your tummy with dread?! Would you like to enjoy a creamy chocolate egg but fear the consequences? Could you be lactose intolerant? hese days, lactose intolerance is very common. Lactose intolerance means that your body cannot easily digest lactose, a type of natural sugar found in milk and dairy products. Normally, the body breaks down lactose with a digestive enzyme called lactase. If you do not have enough lactase, the lactose will not be properly digested when it moves through your digestive system. This can cause uncomfortable symptoms such as wind, tummy pain, diarrhoea and bloating. If you think you may have lactose intolerance, it’s very important to have food intolerance testing performed before removing dairy products from your diet as dairy foods are rich sources of nutrients. Identifying any food intolerances or allergies will also allow you to create a diet that is best suited to you and your body with particular focus on healing your gut health. Intolerances to foods such as dairy, wheat and gluten and nuts can inflame your gut and digestive system and poor gut health has been linked to skin problems including eczema and psoriasis and immune strength and function. If you think you may have a dairy or any other food intolerance, the expert team at Mojo Health

can help point you in the right direction. We can also help you to heal your body naturally, following diagnosis of a food intolerance. For best gut health a diet that is low in inflammatory foods such as sugar, transfats and packaged and processed foods is recommended. These are replaced with healing foods to ensure good gut health and optimum nutritional intake, such as bone broths, sauerkrauts, kefirs, and kombuchas. A good quality probiotic supplement can also help to repair your digestive tract. Healing your gut is important for both mental and physical health. So, if you are suffering from unpleasant gut symptoms caused by certain foods, get help as soon as possible – not only for your gut, but for your overall health and wellbeing. There’s no need to miss out this Easter if you have food intolerances. Mojo Health stock a variety of dairy and glutenfree Easter eggs, caffeine-free eggs as well as a range of certified organic eggs and bunnies. We also have tasty gluten and dairy-free hot cross buns. It’s time to start enjoying Easter again.

April is upon us already – one IN THE GARDEN of the loveliest months for JUDY SHARPE gardening. The cooler weather will spur leaf fall in deciduous trees. When the leaves drop, be patient – remember, deciduous trees only drop once a year and the leaves are a valuable source of mulch. Compost them or leave them to return goodness to the soil as mother nature intended. The miserable summer annuals should be removed and the garden beds prepared with poultry manure and all-purpose plant food. Do this soon, as April is an ideal month to plant pansies, primula and poppies, which are traditionally planted on Anzac Day. Spring bulbs are available in retail outlets – it is wise to choose early, as individual colours can be difficult to find, but it is unnecessary to plant before May. Bulbs such as tulips and hyacinths need a couple of weeks in the fridge crisper to trick them into thinking it’s been really cold before planting.

March 31 – April 6

PICK OF THE WEEK Suddenly 30 Saturday, GO!, 7.30pm, PG (2004) It’s the late 1980s and 13-year-old misfit Jenna (Christa B. Allen) longs to be a fully fledged adult. Thanks to some magic powder, courtesy of chubby best friend Matt (aka Beaver), she morphs into Alias’s sultry Jennifer Garner (pictured) and finds herself immersed in the new millennium as a high-flying New York fashion mag editor. Twee romance ensues as she seeks out the now predictably hunky Matt (Mark Ruffalo) and attempts to piece together the “missing years”.

Friday

The Other Guys

Only God Forgives Thursday, SBS, 12.35am, MA15+ (2013) Ryan Gosling (pictured) once again jumps on board with director Nicolas Winding Refn (Drive), playing Julian, an American living in Bangkok who runs a boxing gym as a front for a drug business. When his eldest brother (Tom Burke) is killed after he commits a depraved crime, their mother jets into town to exact revenge, with Julian facing off against karoake-loving local policeman Chang (Vithaya Pansringarm), a man bent on justice.

Friday, GO!, 9.30pm, M (2010) Only Will Ferrell’s (right) lunacy could make a buddy film about two mismatched detectives work. Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg are pencil-pushing New York detectives who play second fiddle to two hero cops (Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson) until they uncover a white-collar crime conspiracy. As a parody of the cop genre, The Other Guys nails every storyline and cliche in the book. It’s just a matter of whether the laughs can keep coming across 107 minutes.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

With so many planets in Aries at the moment, a lot of changes will be taking place in your work life. This will be important to modifying your working environment in a way that can streamline your productivity and increase your output.

Developing an interest in computers and technology will help you to make new friends and keep you in the loop of modern life. You will be in for a pleasant surprise when you realise how easy it all is. Think of how much more information you will have access to!

Unexpected events bring unexpected joy. Someone you may have been thinking of will pop up out of the blue, or maybe someone from your past will call. Some of the spurts of excitment may not be long lasting, so savour every moment.

If you have been feeling a little isolated or lonely, it’s best to be out and about rather than staying home. Pick up the phone and call or text a few friends to create a social situation for yourself rather than living in a bubble.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

The Sun making contact with Uranus indicates that if you have never been interested in computers and technology that you will all of a sudden develop a new-found passion for it. You'll be able to make new friends and keep yourself in the loop of modern life.

Uranus indicates you will be excited about all the new prospects you will be coming across. All sorts of unusual characters are likely to come your way. Work commitments may cause you to miss a social opportunity; consider this as a positive opening for you to explore other avenues.

Not everyone can do things and see things the way you do; different strokes for different folks. Differences between you and others in your workplace are obvious this week. Don't let conflicting perceptions bog you down and obstruct you in finishing your work.

This is the ideal time to start a new health regime or join a gym. Outdoor exercise will help to settle your nerves and enhance your mental health. Fun places and encounters will keep you smiling; going further afield or catching up with a friend from afar will be stimulating.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 23

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

The stars indicate a need for your partner or spouse to manage their health better. You will have a couple of issues with some of their personal or daily habits and these need to be discussed so you can further improve your relationship as a whole.

Try to keep work fun this week, especially if you are tempted to walk out on someone who’s far too serious for their own good. Don’t be afraid to use your senses of independence and humour – you could inspire a few wet blankets.

You will be happy to spend time with someone who's been a support to you. They may not be quite as exciting or progressive as some of the other characters you'll meet, but you'll need solid anchoring to point you in the right direction.

Markets

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20 You seem to be making some quite important long-term decisions and the indications are that this is the right thing to do. Some of these decisions revolve around relationships and partnerships and they could lead you either into or out of some kind of major commitment.

WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

This is the year Lily needs to make plans and put them into action, particularly on her career front. She should try to add to her current skills or learn something new that will help to further her ambitions. Socially, this will be a truly active year and one in which to welcome the new and untried into her life. All the hard work she has done in previous years will bring her many benefits and pleasures.
