From the editor I recently started meditating in an effort to be more present. I have a habit (as most of us do) of either dwelling on the past or obsessing over the future.

There are 168 hours in a week – a third of which we spend asleep, and another third at work, so what we do with our remaining time has to count.

With the clocks winding back to non-Daylight Saving time last Sunday (cue the cries of those with early-rising children who didn't get the memo), we gained an extra hour. I meditated for 10 minutes a day; six days out of seven last week, so, technically, I spent my precious extra hour being mindful.

Simply put, mindfulness is being aware of our surroundings by focusing on what we can see, hear, smell, touch and taste – a process called grounding.

It can work wonders for anxiety – which, if you're anything like me, is a bonus.

As a first-time meditator, I didn't know what to expect. But I think the key is not to have any expectations, so you can be pleasantly surprised by how your body responds. So far, I have been.

The first step to a clear mind, I find, is a clutter-free study or workspace.

We've hand-picked nine organisational essentials to help get you started. You'll find them on page 48.

Professor Hubert Hondermarck is leading a team of researchers at Newcastle university that is conducting research into the way cancer cells communicate with nerves.

Cancer really does get on your nerves Apply now for Newcastle City Council funding supporting events, activities and projects for the Newcastle community Events sponsorships up to $25,000 Economic development sponsorships up to $20,000 Community assistance grants up to $5,000 Recreation facilities grants up to $5,000

study on the nervous system’s role in cancer growth has struck a nerve with a group of researchers at Newcastle university.

The team, led by biochemistry researcher Professor Hubert Hondermarck, has discovered that the nervous system is a major player in the onset and spread of cancer.

It was previously thought that, even though cancer cells can invade nerves, they weren’t directly involved in the growth of tumours.

Professor Hondermarck and his researchers have discovered that cancer cells do indeed communicate with nerves.

“We, and other teams in the world, have found there is a direct cross-talk between nerves and cancer cells,” he said.

“And the more nerves there are, the more aggressive a tumour is.”

While it’s not entirely clear why, researchers know that nerves

release neurotransmitters, which cancer cells can receive and use for their own benefit – growing, multiplying, migrating, invading and creating metastasis.

“There is therefore nerve dependence for cancer cells,” Professor Hondermarck said.

At the same time, cancer cells secrete growth factors, stimulating the outgrowth of nerves in tumours.

Professor Hondermarck’s team has demonstrated nerve-tumour communication in pancreatic, breast, gastric and prostate cancers, suggesting it might be a widespread phenomenon.

The study was recently published in the leading international cancer journal, Cancer Cell.

The team’s next challenge is to translate the findings from a laboratory setting to a practical, clinical use.

news Flying foxes here to stay Much to the dismay of some Blackalls Park residents, the suburb’s troublesome flying-fox population is here to stay.

Relocating the flying foxes is not an option, Lake Macquarie council has decided.

Councillors last week adopted the Blackalls Park Flying Fox Camp Management Plan, which cites land rehabilitation, careful monitoring, and a resident assistance program as better alternatives to relocation.

The council’s manager of sustainability, Dean Chapman, said the council completed a technical analysis of the site and determined that relocation of the flying-fox camp was “not feasible” and “could have undesirable consequences”.

Newcastle Weekly reported last September that flying foxes had posed problems for some Blackalls Park residents, such as incessant noise, smell and property damage.

Grey-headed flying foxes are the dominant species in the area, and they are listed as threatened species under state and federal legislation.

The NSW Office of Environment and Heritage is primarily responsible for managing and regulating flying-fox camps across the state, and provides guidelines for their conservation and management.

While the council’s new plan aims to rehabilitate land within Blackalls Park to create a more suitable flying-fox roosting habitat away from adjoining residential properties that have been plagued the most, Blackalls Park resident John Rose said he wanted to see the flying foxes moved along permanently.

“How’s [the plan] going to work,” he asked.

“Sure, council might plant some trees, but they’ll take 60 years to grow – you and I won’t be around to see them.

“We want to see [the flying foxes] moved on.”

But the council is pushing on with its management plan, having already consulted with the community and affected residents last year.

Works to implement the plan’s priority actions have started, with vegetation along part of the site’s western boundary removed to create a buffer between residents and bushland.

Suicide prevention plan afoot Australia is set to have its first national suicide prevention plan.

The National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan, announced by the COAG Health Council, aims to recognise suicide as a significant public health issue and ensure a proportionate response. It will be co-designed by people who have been personally impacted by suicide.

The announcement, last week, came just days after Lifeline Australia-commissioned research found more than 80% of Australians supported the development of such a plan.

Lifeline Hunter Central Coast chief executive officer Gillian Summers rejoiced at the news.

“A national plan is a more effective approach because it allows everyone to target what the evidence shows to be the most effective actions,” Ms Summers said.

“This national, information-sharing approach is particularly important for regional communities that have fewer resources than major centres.”

news Stair-climber has luck on his side

Darryl Luck in New York.

With a surname like his, there’s no limit to what Medowie firefighter Darryl Luck can achieve.

Luck was certainly on Darryl’s side when he took on not one, not two, but three stair climbs in the USA last month, raising money for charity.

A firefighter of 14 years with Medowie Rural Fire Brigade, Darryl has a thing for climbing stairs.

Over the years he’s competed several times in the Stadium Stomp in Sydney, and similar stair-climbing challenges in Melbourne and New Zealand.

So, when the opportunity arose to compete in two challenges in Seattle and New York, last month, he grabbed it and ran – literally.

The first was the 26th Annual Firefighter Stair Climb in Seattle.

Darryl was among 2,200 firefighters who donned their full firefighting gear and raced to the top of the Columbia Centre.

They did this with a breathing apparatus strapped to them, which meant they had to complete the challenge while breathing compressed air. This reduces your aerobic capacity by 25%, and, if you

don’t follow proper technique, can cause hyperventilation.

Darryl not only made it to the top, but helped raise vital funds for the US-based Leukaemia and Lymphoma Society in the process.

Next was the 3rd Annual New York City Memorial Stair Climb in New York.

The climb remembers all the first responders who died in the September 11 attack.

Firefighters and police climb all 72 floors of the World Trade Centre Tower 4 – each participant carrying the name of a first responder who died in the attack.

Darryl completed the climb in honour of Captain Louis Modafferi.

Not all tags were collected, so Darryl was one of the few who made a second climb, to ensure everyone was taken to the top.

This time it was in remembrance

Medowie Rural Fire Brigade member Darryl Luck prepares to take on the 26th Annual Firefighter Stair Climb in Seattle.

of Lieutenant Vincent Giammona.

Darryl said this made the challenge more personal.

Now back on Australian soil, he’s resting up before taking on another Stadium Stomp in Sydney in June.

Newcastle musician Matt McLaren and his beloved guide dog, Stamford.

They would have to be the most well-known, sixlegged duo on the Newcastle music scene.

Musician Matt McLaren and his guide dog, Stamford, have been by each other’s side for nineand-a-half years, since Matt was 19.

Blind since birth, Matt found his calling in music at a young age.

Many would know the talented singersongwriter-producer for his jaw-dropping performance on the hit television series, Australia’s Got Talent, early last year.

Over the past nine-and-a-half years, Stamford has been everywhere with Matt.

He’s been backstage, travelled on tour, and even accompanied Matt to the USA for a two-month tour across the states in 2014.

You’ll often spot him curled up at Matt’s feet when he is performing at gigs around Newcastle.

“He’s definitely been with me during an exciting and interesting part of my life, that’s for sure,” Matt said.

“Stamford is exceptional in that regard; noise and people don’t seem to bother him. He’s taken it all in his stride.”

But over the past six months or so, Matt has noticed Stamford has started to slow down in his old age.

Becoming more and more restricted by this, Matt made the heartbreaking decision to retire the 11-year-old Golden Retriever.

But it’s not all bad news. Matt will keep Stamford at home as a much-loved family pet.

He says Stamford has earned his right to become “a full-time professional sleeper”.

Over the coming months, Matt will be matched with a new guide dog through Guide Dogs NSW/ACT. He admits he’s a little uncertain how Stamford will adjust, and knows it will take time to teach his new guide dog the subtleties he and Stamford have learnt over the years.

“There are also things I’ve learnt that I’ll do differently with my next dog, so it’s exciting to have that fresh start, but of course, it’s very bittersweet,” Matt said.

Matt thanked Guide Dogs NSW/ACT for their continued support.

Cozzies Swimwear & Lingerie advertising moment

A swimwear shop, but not as you know it When you think ‘swimwear shop’, you probably don’t envision much else apart from rows and rows of swimsuits. ut at Cozzies Swimwear & Lingerie in Hamilton, they do things differently.

As well as beautiful, well-made togs in sizes 6 to 30 (A-J cup) Cozzies Swimwear & Lingerie also stocks bras, sports bras, mastectomy bras and breast forms.

When mother-daughter duo Suzanne and Kylie first opened the store 11 years ago, there wasn’t much demand for these sorts of items.

But that has changed, Suzanne says.

“We started out with the swimwear, then mastectomy swimwear, and then onto the breast forms,” she said.

“We’ve grown the business according to what people need.”

Cozzies Swimwear & Lingerie offers bra fittings for women of all shapes and sizes.

Their bras go up to a H-cup.

“We cater to girls who used to have to go all the way to Sydney for a well-made bra,” Suzanne said.

Cozzies Swimwear & Lingerie also stocks mastectomy bras, for women who have lost

one or both of their breasts, be it due to breast cancer or another complication.

They sell breast forms – or prosthesis – which slot inside the pockets of the mastectomy bras, to help women regain their confidence.

The mastectomy bras and breast forms are made from world-leading German technology.

“We decided if we were going to do this, we were going to do it really well – with the best,” Suzanne said.

There is a private fitting room especially for bra fittings, designed to help women feel at ease when trying on a new bra.

It’s clear to see, at Cozzies Swimwear & Lingerie, there really is something for everyone.

The store is open Monday to Friday, and varying hours on a Saturday, depending on the season.

But Suzanne said they always found a reason to open the doors.

“There’s always someone who needs a swimsuit at any time of year, and that’s what we’re here for,” she said.

Cozzies Swimwear & Lingerie in Hamilton sells a range of bras, sports bras, mastectomy bras and breast forms, in addition to swimwear.

Cessnock City Council has been swamped with reports on how best to mitigate damage caused by major flooding events.

More options are flooding in, as the council considers how things should flow.

The council has already adopted two major plans, which will help flood-affected properties in Cessnock, South Cessnock and Bellbird, as well as houses adjoining Swamp Creek in Abermain and Weston.

Both plans suggest that voluntary house-raising and floodproofing are the way to go for lessening property damage caused by flooding.

The council also endorsed grant applications under the NSW Floodplain Management Program 2017 as a way to fund flood management strategies.

Each plan will be submitted to NSW Office Environment and Heritage for consideration and approval, before the council contacts owners of high-risk properties who are eligible for assistance.

Other options under council consideration include designing a flood diversion wall for South Cessnock, and a flood warning system to cover Cessnock, Abermain and Weston. The council would tap into a grant it received in 2016 to design and build a diversion wall.

Cessnock mayor Bob Pynsnet welcomed the deluge of flood management options as a positive step for the community.

“It is pleasing to see we are working towards minimising the impact of flood water on our community,” Cr Pynsent said.

Soaking in a hot tub is not only relaxing, it also has many health benefits.

The warm water and massaging spa jets alleviate joint and muscle aches, relieve stress and replenish energy levels.

Once you’ve decided to splash out on your own hot tub, Jacuzzi Newcastle can help you

get your backyard ready for the new addition to the family.

All sorts of accessories are available at Jacuzzi Newcastle to enhance your Jacuzzi experience.

A set of steps to make your jacuzzi easier to climb into after a long tiring day, aromatherapy beads in a variety of soothing scents, or a beverage tray to hold that well-deserved glass of wine can make your relaxation time just that much better.

These accessories are matched in the same wood paneling as your hot tub’s cabinetry.

All orders during the month of April will receive an opening special offer of free steps and standard installation, worth $990.

news Potential game-changer for Williamtown

“Another Centre of Excellence”

l ro En ow N

In shock news that could impact Williamtown residents, Food Standards Australia and New Zealand (FSANZ) has lowered the daily levels of toxic chemicals PFOS and PFOA considered safe for human exposure.

The FSANZ report maintains there is “no consistent evidence that exposure to PFAS causes adverse human health”, but the watchdog has still chosen to adjust the guidelines to “allow a margin of safety”.

Member for Paterson Meryl Swanson said it would seem the Human Health Risk Assessment

that a Department of Defence contractor undertook in Williamtown needs to be revisited.

Both PFOS and PFOA – toxic chemicals found in firefighting foam – were used at Williamtown RAAF base for some time.

Ms Swanson urged the prime minister to visit Williamtown and “see what this contamination has done to us”.

For Williamtown residents who would like to know more, there is a community walk-in session today (Thursday 6 April) at Murrook Cultural Centre from 2pm to 7pm.

Traffic tinkering on Shortland Esplanade As work forges ahead on the Bathers Way redevelopment, Newcastle council will consider implementing one-way traffic flow for the remaining length of Shortland Esplanade, from Zaara Street to Watt Street. Two new pedestrian crossings and a roundabout at the Zaara Street-Shortland Esplanade intersection are also on the agenda.

t started as a small-town celebration to mark the closure of the last coal-operated steam hauled freight service in Australia on the South Maitland Railway Line in 1983.

But today, Hunter Valley Steamfest is anything but small.

The annual celebration of all things steam locomotive related draws upwards of 60,000 people from all corners of the globe to Maitland each year.

Over the past 30-odd years, the event has evolved to include more activities and displays each year.

Around 2004, the event outgrew the Maitland Railway Station car park, and sprawled out to the rally ground and steam shed on the other side of the Church Street roundabout.

That same year, the Maitland Steam and Antique Machinery Association was formed to help Maitland council run the event.

President Peter Garnham and member Paul Tibbetts are founding members of the association.

They and the association’s other 90 members repair and maintain the steam locomotives in the steam shed.

Some are privately owned; one belongs to the association; and another to Maitland council.

And when Steamfest rolls around, they’re the go-to guys on the ground.

Peter said everyone involved had a passion for steam, including Peter, whose father managed Maitland Railway Line during Peter’s formative years.

“Anything to do with steam we’ll support, because nowadays people don’t realise – especially kids, they think it’s all old-fashioned – that steam is still used in industry today,” Peter said.

Paul echoed Peter’s sentiments, emphasising that continuity of heritage was vital.

“I think it’s important that this sort of stuff’s around for the kids to see,” he said.

The 2017 Burton Automotive Hunter Valley Steamfest is on this Saturday and Sunday, 8 and 9 April at Maitland Railway Station and Maitland Rally Ground.

This year there will be two steam locomotives on show – a 3016 and 3642 model – as well as the traction engines housed in the steam shed on the rally ground.

There’s plenty of activities to keep everyone happy, from children through to adults, with sheep-shearing and blacksmithing demonstrations, a show ‘n’ shine, and more than 100 stalls across the event precinct. Entry to the rally ground is by gold coin donation.

Some of the lovely ladies who are part of Rainbow Connection.

Rainbow songbirds seek soprano to join flock Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection…

Narelle Chesterfield did indeed find a rainbow connection when she founded the Rainbow Connection singing group.

And now the group is seeking a soprano to complete the spectrum.

Gathering every Tuesday night at Narelle’s home in Wallsend, the group

Wills and Estates: ask a real Specialist Take advantage of our free seminar ‘Ensuring your Affairs are in Order’ at our offices on Thursday 20 April at 5.30 pm

of 15 women practise their repertoire of golden oldies.

On Thursdays and Fridays, the group tours nursing homes to serenade the residents.

John Farnham’s hit Sadie the Cleaning Lady is a crowd favourite; grass skirts are donned for Pearly Shells; and, yes, they even sing Kermit the Frog.

Elvis, Buddy Holly and Dean Martin also feature on the set list.

Residents love to join in and dance to the Hokey Pokey.

The idea for the group came to Narelle as she sat in a hydrotherapy tub at John Hunter Hospital.

She and her fellow patients would sing as they did their exercises, as a way to distract from the pain and discomfort.

Inspired by her own experiences with singing, Narelle suggested to the other women that they start a singing group to entertain nursing home residents.

One Tuesday night in 2005, five women turned up for Rainbow Connection’s inaugural meeting.

Since then, the group has expanded to 15 women aged 40 to 80, including Narelle’s daughter, Kylie; and, with the retirement of three soprano voices, Rainbow Connection is seeking some new voices to join their harmony.

The cost is $3 a week, which is divided among the members at the end of the year, after expenses.

Phone Narelle Chesterfield on 4965 6449 for more information.

The aged care provider won an award in the innovation category for its ingenious use of state-of-the-art technology to identify tasks most likely to cause workplace injury.

Wearable sensors were attached

to hospitality and laundry workers to assess safety. Tasks such as loading and unloading washing machines, unloading food trolleys, emptying bins, and moving cleaning equipment carried the highest risk of injury. The WH&S team used the data to reassess its manual handling training.

Futurepreneurs graduate Bren Hammel and session facilitator Cheryl Royle. Photo: Peter Stoop

Calling all ‘futurepreneurs’ to come and find their feet With youth unemployment rates higher than the national average, the Hunter Region is brimming with potential young entrepreneurs.

These so-called ‘futurepreneurs’ are invited to attend a series of information sessions to connect with programs and services, as well

as get some one-on-one help with overcoming obstacles to starting a business.

Self-employment can be a viable alternative for young people to make a living in the face of an uncertain job market.

One Hunter success story is that of Bren Hammel, a young footballer who also runs an array of home businesses. With the help of the Futurepreneurs sessions, he founded a search engine marketing business, and runs a manufacturing business as well as a supplement business from his home in Newcastle.

The Futurepreneurs sessions are run by Cheryl Royle, who is an entrepreneur herself, and is one of three government-appointed entrepreneurship facilitators in Australia.

There are two local Futurepreneurs sessions coming up. One is at Cessnock Performing Arts Centre on 12 April from 10.30am to 11.30am, and the other is at Tomaree Library on 27 April from 10.30am to 11.30am. The sessions are open to young people interested in starting their own business, as well as those who are interested in mentoring young entrepreneurs.

Knights bitten

by Sharks

And they’re off – Hunter netballers played the first round of the 2017 Greater Open Championship last weekend.

Netball season off to a Greater start With some of the Hunter Region’s best netball talent on show, the chance to be part of the 2017 Greater Open Championship action this winter will be hard to pass up.

Kicking off with the first round last Saturday, this year’s competition features three former Hunter Jaegers representatives.

Narelle Eather and Tiffany Gilmore are shooting for Souths Lions, and Lara Cranfield (nee Welham) is playing for Maryville Tavern Alize.

Alongside the seasoned veterans of the

game is some of the Hunter’s most promising young talent.

Rhiannon Stokes from Wests Leagues Balance 1 plays for Netball NSW’s State 17 Years team and Nova Thunder’s Madeline Melvelle was hand-picked for the Netball NSW 17 Years Development Squad.

Greater Open Championship teams will also be contributing their best players to the two Hunter United teams that will play in the NSW State Metro League Divisions 1 and 4.

The Newcastle Knights delivered a better performance than previous weeks on Saturday at Southern Cross Stadium, but victory once again slipped from their grasp.

Powering through the game, the Cronulla Sharks were confident they would thrash the Knights by 12 points, and with 11 minutes to go, it seemed like a sure thing.

The Knights managed to close the gap, with the score sitting at 18-all just seven minutes from full-time.

However, the Sharks had the final say, scoring a field goal to break the tie.

Newcastle’s Sione Mata’utia was ruled out of the game due to a nasty bump on the head in the second half.

The Knights are now sitting 15th on the NRL 2017 Telstra Premiership ladder, ahead of only Wests Tigers.

Newcastle will go up against the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs on Friday 7 April at McDonald Jones Stadium at 6pm in Round 6 of the competition.

Home Care Assistance Newcastle advertising moment

Keep those cogs turning with cognitive care Cognitive decline is an accepted part of getting older, with questions of “where did I leave my keys?” or “why did I walk into this room?” being a familiar refrain. severe deterioration in cognitive function, however, impacts on everyday life and may indicate something more sinister at play.

Home Care Assistance Newcastle offers its patented Cognitive Therapeutics Method as part of its in-home care service.

Activities targeting executive function, language, memory, attention and visual-spatial perception help to keep clients sharp as a tack.

And while getting the correct answer can bring a sense of achievement, it’s more about the thought processes and having a go at solving the puzzle, rather than getting it right.

Cognitive exercise comes as part of Home Care Assistance Newcastle’s Balanced Care Method, its proprietary method of providing in-home care that focuses on the importance of a good-quality life as well as longevity.

Physical and mental stimulation, good nutrition and upholding a sense of purpose are the three-fold points of the Balanced Care Method.

Support workers prepare high-fibre meals packed with flavour, taking into account the client’s personal tastes and dietary requirements.

Home Care Assistance Newcastle’s support

Strengthen your problem-solving skills and regain your confidence through cognitive therapy.

workers are thoroughly trained in nutrition for the elderly, and clients are thrilled with having someone like a personal chef to cook for them.

As we get older, it’s easy to lose the reason for getting out of bed every morning.

Working life and the retirement party are but a distant memory, and mobility issues make it hard to get to the shops or catch up with friends.

Home Care Assistance Newcastle’s carers make sure that their clients’ social lives don’t have to suffer because of the challenges of getting around.

The carers are carefully matched to ensure their clients can continue to pursue their hobbies and interests with all the support they require.

Personal transport with the carer lets each person engage socially how and where they choose.

Simple enjoyments once thought lost can be returned to people's lives.

The Cognitive Therapeutics Method and the Balanced Care Method comes at no extra cost to the client or their family.

Because Home Care Assistance Newcastle charges no case management fees, there are more care hours available for the client, and this means more opportunities to provide high quality care

beyond the basic activities of daily living.

Cognitive decline doesn’t have to take away a person's independence.

Reclaim your confidence and the activities you love by calling Kerrie and Mark at Home Care Assistance Newcastle today.

Schedule a free in-home assessment, and you’ll receive a copy of Happy to 102, a guide to living a long and happy life.

MOJO HEALTH Ever wonder why chocolate is just so good? It’s because your brain is telling you it is.

Eating dark chocolate boosts the production of our feel-good chemicals called endorphins. When endorphins reach the opioid receptors in our brain, they trigger positive feelings and reduce our perception of pain.

Dark chocolate also stimulates the release of serotonin and dopamine. Serotonin triggers positive feelings and helps to regulate moods and relieve depression.

Dopamine triggers the feeling of being rewarded and is responsible for choccie cravings as it reminds your brain how much you enjoyed eating chocolate, urging you to satisfy the craving again and again. So don't feel guilty when you go back for more this Easter, it's not you, it's just your brain.

Star support act You might want to think twice about skipping the support act to folk-pop musician Bob Evans at his Newcastle gig later this month.

Sometimes, the pre-show warmup is the best place to unearth raw talent.

Lake Macquarie singersongwriter Amy Vee will take to the stage at Lizotte’s Lambton on Friday 21 April to warm up the crowd before Bob Evans (alter ego of ARIA award-winning Jebediah frontman Kevin Mitchell) performs on his Lonesome Highways national tour.

Born into music, with her dad a performer himself, Vee has music coursing through her veins.

The songstress dances through life to her own beat; her only mission being to produce and perform songs that people can relate to and take something away from.

Vee’s sound is acoustic and ethereal – a sound she believes, these days, works best solo, but that’s not to say she hasn’t dabbled in band collaborations.

She made her professional debut as the founding member of the band The Virtues when she was 21.

Vee played with the band for six or seven years, before she decided to branch out and go solo.

This was something Vee had been working toward her entire

life, having spent her formative years building her confidence in singing, playing guitar and keyboard through playing gigs with her dad.

At first, she was unsure what shape her journey would take, or if her lyrics would translate well to others.

“It took me a while to build my confidence, but now, I can’t imagine a life without music,” Vee told Newcastle Weekly.

“It’s a force that’s always there.”

Vee has since put out an EP (Sleeping Dogs Lie), an album

A taste of autumn Zucchini noodles, or zoodles, are tasty and on trend. They’re budget and diet-friendly.

Try your hand at this healthy pasta alternative with this recipe.

Bolognese with zoodles Recipe extracted from Living the Healthy Life by Jessica Sepel. Available now, Macmillan Australia, $39.99.

1 Tbsp olive oil

1 cup vegetable stock

1 red onion, finely diced

1⁄3 cup organic tomato passata

1 garlic clove, crushed

1 tsp Worcestershire sauce

1 stick celery, finely chopped

1 dried bay leaf

1 carrot, finely diced

4 thyme sprigs

400g lean organic minced beef

Celtic sea salt and ground pepper

150g button mushrooms, sliced

4 large zucchini

3 Truss tomatoes, finely diced or 1 x 400 g tin organic diced tomatoes

Shaved parmesan and small basil leaves, to serve

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, celery and carrot and cook for 5 minutes or until softened. Add the mince and cook for a further 5 minutes or until browned, breaking up any lumps with the back of a wooden spoon.

Add the mushrooms and cook for 1 minute, then add the tomato, stock, tomato passata, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaf and thyme. Stir well and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and

simmer gently for 15–20 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.

Season to taste.

Meanwhile, using a vegetable spiraliser or vegetable peeler and knife, cut the zucchini (skin on) into thin, noodle-like strips (zoodles).

Set aside in a sieve over a large bowl.

To serve, toss the zoodles through the bolognese sauce and top with parmesan and basil leaves.

Micro theatre for macro fun Despite what images the name might conjure up, micro theatre is not drama for ants.

Newcastle’s Micro Theatre Festival does away with huge venues and months of rehearsals, by bringing short plays to small venues.

Scriptwriters submit small plays and the best are chosen for actors to perform in small venues around Newcastle during the week-long festival, held from 22 to 26 August.

There is an element of surprise, with the audience not knowing who the actors are until they jump up and perform.

The whole event is spontaneous, fun and a little bit quirky.

Now in its third year, festival director Kate Dun and producer Mardi Ryan have made little steps to grow the festival in in a big way.

The CSIRO Low-Carb Diet cookbook giveaway

from Hotel Jesmond to our new address:

Shop 1 68 Nelson Street Wallsend

Based on emerging research from around the world, as well as original CSIRO research recently conducted in Australia, the low-carb diet has proved successful in managing lifestyle-induced metabolic diseases, including unhealthy weight gain and type 2 diabetes.

The diet lowers the proportion of carbohydrate relative to protein and unsaturated 'healthy' fat, and encourages participants to follow a regular exercise routine.

The CSIRO Low-Carb Diet cookbook features 80 nutritious, low-carb recipes; a clear description of low-carb food versus high-carb food; 12 weekly meal plans and shopping lists; and a comprehensive exercise plan.

An exhibition exploring human mortality through photography, machine embroidery & animated text, to coincide with the Newcastle Writers Festival.

Nestled among the hustle and bustle of busy Beaumont Street is Gallery 139.

One of the major hubs for art, food and culture in Newcastle, Beaumont Street is the perfect location to showcase the region’s local artistic talent.

Ahn Wells, owner and director of Gallery 139, always wanted to open her own gallery.

6 – 23 April 2017

Studying art at both TAFE and university, as well as working at Watt Space; Lake Macquarie Art Gallery; and Newcastle Artspace, Ahn enjoyed curating art exhibitions and wanted more creative control over exhibitions.

She envisioned putting together exhibitions that she herself would enjoy viewing, and supporting local independent artists.

Recognising the need for local artists to have a professional space in which to showcase their work, she turned her dream of owning and curating her own art gallery into a reality.

Ahn opened Gallery 139 three years ago and uses the curation skills she learned at Lake Macquarie Art Gallery to put together thoughtprovoking art exhibitions of raw Novocastrian talent.

Gallery 139 has a team of five local, independent artists who each have solo shows of their latest and greatest masterpieces.

This year, one of the regulars, Helene Leane, exhibits her works at the Janet Clayton Gallery in Sydney.

Helene’s latest work, Red Gold: The Cedar Story, will be on exhibit at Gallery 139 from Thursday 27 April to Sunday 14 May. Visit gallery139.com.au for more information.

These days it’s all about the brows. The latest trend is brushed out, boyish brows. To achieve this look, you’ll need a decent brow kit – a brush being your biggest weapon, of course. Follow this step-by-step and you’ll be well on your way to perfect browdom.

WITH FASHION & BEAUTY EDITOR, GEORGIA OSLAND

To groom your brows, first use a pair of tweezers to tidy them up. You can use wax, but tweezers will allow you to pluck finer hairs individually.

A good brow brush with an angled head will shape and define your brows, making them look naturally fuller and thicker.

Such was the catalyst for Newcastle’s first family-friendly yoga studio – The Ohana Room; Ohana meaning ‘family’ in Hawaiian.

Having practiced yoga for almost 20 years, Mel joins three other qualified yoga teachers in instructing three different yoga styles.

And it’s not just for mums and dads.

The studio welcomes people without children, too – singles, couples, pensioners – you name it, anyone can be part of the Ohana family.

In keeping with their desire to help each other stay happy and healthy, those behind the project also want to help others do the same.

That’s why the studio has partnered with suicide and crisis support service, Lifeline Hunter Central Coast, which helps others when they need it most.

Easter is ideal for gardening, as hopefully perfect weather will follow the soaking rain, giving gardeners enthusiasm to dig and plant.

Prepare garden beds for winter vegetables and flowers by fertilising with poultry manure and an all-purpose plant food.

Leave at least one week before planting cabbages, cauliflowers and pansies.

This is an ideal time to select Sasanqua Camellias, which are about to flower in shades of white to deep pink.

Planting of these hardy shrubs at this time ensures stability and growth before winter.

Sasanquas, which are tall-growing, are members of the tea family. They flower from March well into winter.

Like other camellias, A Sasanqua Camellia.

Now in le t Newcas

Globber fold-up scooter giveaway

Sasanquas prefer acidic soil, so they should be kept moist and fed with IN THE GARDEN cow manure after JUDY SHARPE flowering.

The beauty of this kind of camellia is that it will grow in sun or shade. They are ideal for pots or in the ground, and can be useful as a hedge, particularly along fences and down narrow driveways.

THIS WEEK: • Lawns that have been attacked by army grub should be treated with Seasol to stimulate root growth before winter.

• Cyclamen corms saved from last year should be replanted, fertilised and watered.

• The rain brings out snails.

Before planting new-season vegetables, place pellets under nearby shrubs.

COTTONING ON TO BATH TOWELS

Fidelis collection and Vulcan rug From $39 ziporahlifestyle.com.au

We’ve all been there; you’ve decided to purchase some new bath towels only to be faced with a wall of colours, cottons and confusion. So what’s the difference?

We caught up with the experts at Pillow Talk for the lowdown on cotton types and which will be the most suitable for you.

Carded cotton: Carding is a step in the refinement process that removes impurities from the cotton, untangles the cotton fibres and readies it for spinning.

Combed cotton: Is carded cotton that has been further refined and combed to separate the long, desirable fibres from the shorter fibres and impurities in the cotton. This creates a finer yarn resulting in a stronger, smoother product.

Long staple cotton: Superior to other cottons because they have fine, long fibres that can be spun to make softer, silkier and more durable textile products. Products made from long staple cottons are less prone to linting and shedding. Supima and Egyptian cottons are examples of long staple cottons.

Organic cotton: Grown using methods

and materials that have a low impact on the environment, the reduction in the use of chemicals in production makes organic cotton towels a better option for people with sensitive skin, allergies or irritations. The result is a soft, durable and pure towel developed in an environmentally friendly manner.

Bamboo fibre: The high growth rate of bamboo and its ability to survive in many different climates make it a sustainable resource.

Bamboo fibre is lightweight, extremely absorbent and has natural anti-microbial features. The fibre is naturally smooth and consequently less irritable to sensitive skin.

Zero twist cotton: Zero twist yarn has very low or no twist to it and can only be constructed from long staple cotton. The lack of twist in the yarn allows the cotton fibres to open up, letting air reach the inner parts of the yarn more quickly. This increases its absorbency and reduces the time it takes to dry. The result is a plush, absorbent and fast-drying towel with the ability to absorb up to four times more moisture by weight than conventional towels.

Andersens Newcastle Mobile Showroom advertising moment

Andersens chief executive officer Brian Cooper and Andersens South Newcastle Mobile Showroom owner/ franchisee Glen Shephard.

Young couple floored by business’s success There’s a new mobile flooring franchise in town. ndersens launched in Newcastle on 27 March. The business has welcomed young couple Glen and Kristy Shephard to the family, having taken on the 'Showroom On Wheels' from 14 February.

They are kicking off the arrival of the mobile store by offering the first 100 customers 20% off their choice of floor or window coverings.

Glen already has a background in flooring, after completing his apprenticeship and then starting his own installation business.

However, this isn’t his first experience with Andersens company.

Glen first began working for Andersens in 2007.

With over 10 years of experience with the company, Glen is the perfect candidate to take on the franchise.

That, combined with Kristy’s wealth of knowledge in customer service and organisational planning, will give customers a great first experience with the showroom on wheels.

“We chose to purchase a franchise from Andersens because of our trusted business relationship that has been built over a 10-year period and a strong belief in the Andersens values,” the young couple said.

Andersens was founded in the late 1950’s, 54

originating in the small country town of Gatton, west of Brisbane.

Honesty, integrity and respect are the three principles that still drive the core philosophy of the company today.

When combined with professional, innovative operational practices, it’s clear to see how they have earned the reputation as ‘the respected name in floor coverings’ for more than 60 years now.

“We also believe the mobile flooring concept ‘your new floor direct to your door’ gives Andersens a distinct advantage over their competitors,” Glen and Kristy said.

“As consumers’ spare time is rapidly decreasing, the ability to be mobile and flexible with hours of operation is a true point of difference.”

Over the years, Andersens has been building successful floor covering franchises all over Queensland and northern New South Wales, and they have no plans to slow down anytime soon.

The lower set-up costs are vital to getting younger and motivated franchisees into the industry, and Glen and Kristy are a perfect example of this.

After bringing the highly recognised and universally respected brand to Newcastle, Glen and Kristy have already seen tremendous success and can’t believe how large the region’s demand for new flooring is.

They have also expanded their range by adding timber, timber laminates, bamboo, ceramic tiles and window furnishings.

The 'Showroom On Wheels' unique service allows customers to see how their new floor or window furnishing will look against the context of their own home, allowing them to make an informed decision.

Glen and Kristy know how important a comfortable home is, having just welcomed their second child.

“I can guide you through the process, adding value with expert guidance on how to choose the perfect product to install in your home,” Glen said.

April 7 – 13

PICK OF THE WEEK Schindler’s List Friday, SBS, 8.40pm, M (1993) Winning a whopping seven Oscars, Steven Spielberg’s definitive movie about the Holocaust is an epic production of loss, humanity and the everyday heroes who can make a big difference. The true story begins in 1939 with the relocation of Polish Jews to the Krakow ghetto, as German businessman and member of the Nazi Party Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson) slowly realises the atrocities happening around him. What follows is an intense homage to the hero.

Friday

The Scorpion King

Death Proof Wednesday, SBS VLND, 8.35pm, MA15+ (2007) Kurt Russell (left) is “Stuntman Mike”, a psychopathic revhead on a mission to murder in Quentin Tarantino’s magnificent tribute to the excesses of trashy cinema. But Mike’s bloodthirsty joyride is turned on its head when his latest targets turn out to be Hell’s Angels on wheels. Released in the US as part of double-bill Grindhouse (alongside Robert Rodriguez’s Planet Terror) this single serving is a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the low-budget drive-in movies of the ’60s and ’70s.

Sunday, GO!, 9pm, M (2002) Former pro wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (right) stars as Mathayus, an assassin in pre-biblical Africa, drafted by the leader of a tribe (Michael Clarke Duncan) to dispose of ruthless tyrant Memnon (Steven Brand) and claim his sorceress (Kelly Hu). You can certainly smell what director Chuck Russell is cookin’: fight scenes galore, some dialogue to break up the battles, a few laughs and an overall style reminiscent of any adventure film you might name.

The Sun continues to speed its way through Aries and daily life will be very busy for Saoirse. The next 12 months are going to be rather dynamic as Uranus continues to wind its way through her chart. Her home and family life is going to be rather frantic. There are plenty of work opportunities and Saoirse needs to be proactive if she doesn’t want to miss out on them.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

The 11 April Full Moon indicates the chances of you getting through the day without cross words between you and a flatmate or family member are fairly slim. Somehow, you feel your freedom of choice has been curtailed by others. You must take responsibility for your own decisions.

The Full Moon on 11 April indicates that there could be an issue with a brother or sister bending your ear for support. Unfortunately this person rarely acts on your wise words and you fear at the back of your mind that you’re wasting your time.

The Full Moon on the 11th falls directly in your own sign and a difference of opinion with a friend or colleague could leave you fuming.

If you really do need to win this argument, you will have to try some imaginative tricks.

The Full Moon on the 11th indicates

The Full Moon on the 11th indicates that friends, family and partners could be making demands upon your time, just when you most need a little time and space to yourself.

Do what you have to do and let them take care of the rest for themselves.

It will be good for them.

Mercury the planet of communications turns Retrograde on the 10th placing the accent on relationships. Misunderstandings are likely but patience and understanding will win the day.

The 11 April Full Moon indicates emotional anxieties may come to the fore which could zap your energy.

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 23

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

Mercury turns Retrograde on the 10th and there may be issues with technology so expect your internet service to go on the blink.

The 11 April Full Moon warns you to be careful re your finances as something is going to cost you more than expected.

The Full Moon on the 11th indicates the behaviour of a friend or acquaintance may be causing you to become a little uneasy. You are always alert to even the slightest possibility that someone is not being honest, but before you make any accusations, make sure you know the facts.

Mercury turns Retrograde in your own sign on 11 April throwing your plans into disarray and you end up working past your usual finishing time. The Full Moon on the 11th indicates you may not be feeling 100% so you may feel like shutting yourself away and not socialising.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21 The Full Moon on the 11th indicates that you may feel a little disappointed in one of your children or someone you once held in high regard. Don’t take this too seriously or you could sour what seems to be fairly positive relationship.

that it’s difficult to say no to someone you love but sometimes it’s better for everyone in the long run. If you have to deal with tantrums and tears from a friend or sibling choose your words carefully.

The 11 April Full Moon indicates you may be tempted to interfere in the life of someone close. Although your motives are good, you will need to accept that everyone has their own decisions to make and you may need to put up with something you disapprove of.

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20 The Full Moon on 11 April indicates your partner or flatmate doesn’t understand that you’re not simply being paranoid but you have realistic concerns about your position at work. However, I’m sure one of your friends can help to guide you in the right direction.
