Newcastle Weekly contents

This week

From the editor Lately I've been particularly conscious of what I'm spending my money on. It's no secret that Gen Y faces an uphill battle when it comes to home ownership, especially if you're torn between further travel and said home ownership, like me. Food and entertainment, in particular, can be a money black hole if you're not careful. That applies to all age groups. I think the rise of minimalism, mindfulness and money-mindedness are all connected: we're curious as to how we can live more with less. So, lately, my partner, Luke, and I have been on the hunt for free or inexpensive activities to build into our social lives. Last week we played trivia, explored Newcastle Museum, wandered around town using Newcastle Buses' CBD fare free zone, and checked out the University of Newcastle's newlyunveiled NeW Space campus (amazing views from the top floor, by the way) – all for free. So, you can imagine my delight when I was speaking to Wallsend Winter Fair event manager Rhonda Campbell, this week, about the upcoming fair on Sunday 13 August, when she said: "You can not spend a cent if you don't want to and still have a good day". So, if you're looking for a budget-friendly family day out, this bumper Wallsend Winter Fair edition is for you. See you there. - Georgia Osland

Mall’s redevelopment “exciting”

mall business owner Ali Sobel-Read believes the redevelopment of Hunter Street Mall is “extremely exciting” for the region. Plans for stage one of the project, which are on public display

until 10 August, include a mix of retail premises, shop-top housing, car parking and associated work within Newcastle’s East End. One of the area’s architectural jewels, the old David Jones building, is set to be restored in the initial phase.

Ms Sobel-Read set up her business, Potteryali, inside the former department store as part of Renew Newcastle’s arcade of boutiques called The Emporium. She says a revitalised mall will help make the East End “even more beautiful”. “Renew Newcastle and The Emporium proved that the mall can be, and is, a viable retail environment, and a place where Novocastrians and tourists can come and enjoy themselves,” she says. “I think, as a former educator at public schools in New York City, I understand the need for redevelopment in the inner city. “The East End is a beautiful part of town, and the mall will definitely add to that.” After relocating to the Clocktower

Studios at Hamilton earlier this year, Ms Sobel-Read feels The Emporium project has fasttracked both the mall’s, and her own, progress. “I’m extremely proud to have been involved in The Emporium; it helped create a retail core and loyal customer base, which continued to seek me out even after I relocated,” she says. “Without The Emporium, I believe this redevelopment would have taken much longer. “It’s just an extremely exciting thing for Newcastle.” You can view the redevelopment plans on Newcastle council’s website – newcastle.nsw.gov.au – or at council’s headquarters at 282 King Street, Newcastle. - Ben Murphy

Car boot sale’s plastic bag ban A Hunter car boot sale has banned the use of plastic bags in an effort to reduce pollution. Cardiff Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group (CASNG) will instead provide Boomerang Bag-making kits at the car boot sale on 13 August. The bags, which are made mostly of recycled fabric like donated sheets, pillow cases and blankets, can be reused. The sustainable neighbourhood group’s stance comes amid a widespread push to curb singleuse plastic bags. Statistics show that plastic makes up more than 70% of rubbish entering our oceans, while it also kills one million sea birds, countless fish, and 100,000

sea mammals every year. The Australian Labor Party took aim at the state government over the issue last week, claiming it had walked away from a plastic bag ban entirely after failing to report back to a meeting of environment ministers. Shadow Environment Minister, Penny Sharpe, said the community and corporate Australia were ready for a ban, yet the government was still refusing to act. “Plastic bags kill thousands of turtles, dolphins, fish and birds each year,” she said. “A ban can help stop the carnage.” Apart from the plastic bags ban, CASNG’s car boot sale will

ensure all items are recycled, reused, repurposed, renewed and repaired. There will be a number of upcycled furniture and garden ornament bargains, handmade clothing and jewellery, reusable fabric gift-wrapping, and the usual array of bric-a-brac. Cardiff High School students will also provide musical entertainment, while there’ll be fun activities for children, compost demonstrations, a sausage sizzle, and a coffee van. The event will take place at Cardiff Bowling Club car park from 9am to 1pm. Visit sustainableneighbour hoods.org.au/rrr-car-boot-sale for more information.

Cessnock Road made safer Roads and Maritime Services has completed safety improvements to Cessnock Road at Gillieston Heights. The state government allocated $4 million last financial year to strengthen and improve the road for the 15,000 motorists who use Cessnock Road each day. Work started last October and involved widening the road shoulders and strengthening a 1.66-kilometre section of the road from Russell Street to north of Testers Hollow. Minor drainage work was also carried out to improve stormwater run-off, along with the installation of roadside safety barriers to improve motorist safety.

news Trek to transform indigenous lives

Andrew Johnson prepares to trek the Larapinta Trail. Photo by Peter Stoop.

New Lambton dentist Andrew Johnson is no stranger to a challenge. He’s conquered Spain’s renowned Camino de Santiago trail, and hiked in Patagonia, Chile. So, the idea of trekking 65 kilometres of the Northern Territory’s Larapinta Trail, should, in theory, be a walk in the park. Nevertheless, Andrew is determined, come hell or high water, to complete the trail for a worthy cause. He will join a team of 27 others – University of Newcastle alumni, students and staff as well as community members – on the trail for five days from 15 August, in a bid to raise more than $100,000 to fund scholarships for indigenous students facing hardship, as well as research into indigenous community health issues. Being a dentist, Andrew knows the importance of adequate health programs in particular. “Since I signed up [to the challenge] I’ve taken it upon myself to learn so much more about indigenous people and communities,” he said. “And, I can say, this is a fundamentally

good cause.” Each team member is charged with the task of raising funds individually, which contribute to the overall target. So far, Andrew has raised more than $7,500 towards his $10,000 personal goal. He said the community’s response had been remarkable, with more people pledging to donate once he had completed the trek. The University of Newcastle has a strong history of supporting indigenous students. A third of the country’s indigenous doctors trained there, and more indigenous students study at Newcastle than any other university in Australia. The university organised the Larapinta Trail Challenge – the second in as many years, after the inaugural trek along a 50-kilometre section of the Great Wall of China – as part of its commitment to excellence in indigenous education, equity and social justice. Visit newcastle.edu.au/larapintachallenge to donate to either an individual trekker or the overall campaign. - Georgia Osland

Study gives new hope to stop female biological clock Researchers have found a potential solution for women who want to start a family later in life. A team from the University of Newcastle’s Reproductive Science Group has discovered that an antioxidant may halt the aging process in female eggs. Hunter Medical Research Institute member and PhD student, Bettina Mihalas, said the results were “really encouraging” in the bid to improve egg quality in mature women. “There are a lot of comments these days and media attention on celebrities who are having babies in their 40s,” she told Newcastle Weekly. “It’s not the most honest approach as it implies that they are able to have children easily

over [the age of] 40 and that’s not the case.” With the average childbearing age in Australia increasing from 27.7 in 1987 to 31 in 2010, Ms Mihalas said the research aimed to help women who were part of this growing trend. “Women have so many pressures outside of having a family and they are, rightfully, able to pursue their career aspirations,” she said. “Previously, that wasn’t made as available as it is today, and it’s a big factor behind women having children later on.” Apart from age, another major player affecting female fertility is the presence of reactive oxygen species (ROS). An increase in intra-ovarian ROS has long been linked to the

decline in egg quality associated with maternal aging, which can lead to trouble conceiving, birth defects, and miscarriage. Ms Mihalas said the study had allowed researchers to discover targeted antioxidant treatments for specific types of ROS. “Antioxidant is an umbrella term; we’ve been able to find the

exact type [of ROS] that is causing damage to cells and find the antioxidant that targets that ROS,” she said. “There is still a lot of work to be done though in terms of dosage, delivery method, and the best time of a woman’s life for this to be administered.” - Ben Murphy

news Generosity offers hope for kids with cancer You might recall that, just a few weeks ago, Bec Cooper was well on track to reach her fundraising target of $20,000 for the Children’s Cancer Institute. The Newcastle teenager, who’s battling stage four rhabdomyosarcoma, is considered incurable by standard treatments. Despite this, Bec decided to lead a 35-day crowdfunding campaign so that she, and other young people, can be part of Australia’s first personalised medicine program, Zero Childhood Cancer. After learning that the cost for one child to take part was about $20,000, Bec launched her campaign. And, in a heart-warming response, the community’s generosity has

helped her smash that target. Locals turned out in droves to the most recent fundraising event at Wallsend, with a number of people shaving their heads to support the cause. The event raised $8,251 towards the final campaign total of more than $32,000. Bec thanked the community for backing the initiative.

Children enjoy last year’s Wallsend Winter Fair.

From humble beginnings What started as an ambitious attempt to draw more visitors to Wallsend has since grown to become one of the biggest annual events in the Hunter Region. The Wallsend Winter Fair is a well-loved fixture on the local

events calendar, attracting around 30,000 revellers each year to Wallsend’s Nelson and Tyrrell streets and surrounds. It’s one of the only events in the region that still boasts a street parade, which involves local

schools, business, charities and community organisations. “The community loves to get behind it; they really own it,” event manager Rhonda Campbell said. “It takes 12 months of planning, so it’s great to see everyone come out and support it. It makes those 12 months’ worth of work worth it.” This year marks the 32nd annual Wallsend Winter Fair. It began, all those years ago, as a collaboration between local businesses and the Wallsend Town Business Association. They saw an opportunity to put Wallsend’s rich history on show, whilst encouraging people to visit the town. It worked – with 1,000 people turning out to the inaugural fair. From there, the event grew in leaps and bounds, and the rest

is history. This year’s fair, on Sunday 13 August, features an expanded street food precinct, with almost every international cuisine you could imagine; a third entertainment stage; showbags; face painting; as well as more than 180 market and community stalls. All your favourite rides will return, with something for everyone, from children to adults. And, of course, the grand parade is up to an hour-long affair, featuring vintage cars, marching bands, local dance schools, beloved characters and puppets. It’s action-packed from 9am to 3pm. You’ll find a full programme of events on page 35. Visit winterfair.com.au for more information. - Georgia Osland

Lake Macquarie has enjoyed unprecedented demand for citizenship in 2017, with four ceremonies held already – the normal number for an entire year. Mayor Kay Fraser said this reflected the community’s growing diversity. “Naturally, we like to think it is because more people are being attracted to the enviable Lake Macquarie lifestyle, but there are many factors that affect people’s decisions about if, and when, to take citizenship,” Cr Fraser said. Journeyman footballer Sione Ofa Finefeuiaki was one of 33 people from 19 countries who received Australian citizenship during a ceremony at the council’s chambers last week. The Tongan-born rugby

These days, he calls Lake Macquarie home. “It is 17 years since I arrived in Australia, and now I have a family and a home here,” Finefeuiaki said. “[So] it felt right to take that next step. “It’s a good country, I love everything about it.”

sport Knights hold nerve to down Dragons The Newcastle Knights picked up their third win of the season after fending off St George Illawarra on Saturday afternoon. Tries to Brock Lamb and new recruit Shaun Kenny-Dowall gave the Knights an early 12-0 lead, but Dragons front rower Paul Vaughan soon muscled his way over to reduce the deficit. Newcastle halfback Trent Hodkinson then nailed a penalty goal, before Tariq Sims rolled through the Knights pack to score on the stroke of half-time. Roared on by a boisterous home crowd of more than 15,000, Newcastle maintained its slender 14-12 advantage until the 60-minute mark. A penalty off the ball saw Dragonsâ€™ playmaker Gareth Widdop

successfully kick for two points to lock up the score. But the Knights kept fighting and, in the 72nd minute, Josh King popped a ball out for Jacob Saifiti, who dived across the line. Hodkinson booted the conversion to make it 20-14. Newcastle then sealed the match with a Hodkinson field goal in the final two minutes. The Knights take on the New Zealand Warriors at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday. The clash kicks off at 3pm.

5 YEARS in Wallsend

Your team, Your Town, Always Independent

Trish, Susan, Ellie, Rose, Toni and Jodi

Local Hearing has served the people of Wallsend and surrounds for the last five years, providing audiological testing and a range of other services for those experiencing difficulty with their hearing. Locally owned and operated, Local Hearing was opened in August 2012 by locals Trish Humphrys and Jodi Wormington, who saw a need for a personalised hearing clinic in the area. The business prospered quickly and Rose Kendal joined the team in 2014. Our dedicated clinicians, Trish Humphrys and Rose Kendal, recently welcomed Local Hearing’s newest member, Toni East (an accredited audiologist and co-founder of East ‘N’ Holmes Audiology), whose years of experience brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our team. Toni’s 20-plus year career has seen her assisting clients from paediatric to geriatric and all those in between. Her richly varied clinical experiences have included running paediatric screening programs, electrophysiological testing, cochlear implant assessment and fitting, teaching, and diagnostic assessment and hearing rehabilitation. Our clinicians can accommodate the needs of children aged five and over, private clients, pensioners, as well as DVA and NDIS clients. Our services also include performing WorkCover testing and quotations. Our receptionists are Jodi, Ellie and Susan, who are always ready with a smile to make your appointment or assist with maintenance of your hearing aids. We have an open door policy with no appointments required for cleaning, repairs and regular check-ups of your hearing aids. Unlike the big multi-national chains, Local Hearing has not, nor will ever, pay commissions to staff members. We pride ourselves on providing patient-centred care, which does not include sales targets or monthly budgets. We would like to say ‘thank you’ to our many clients who have been loyal and supported Local Hearing as we celebrate five years of serving our community. We would like to extend an invitation to you during the upcoming Wallsend Winter Fair festivities to visit us at our stall. We also invite our clients and friends to come along on Wednesday 16 August to our clinic for a cuppa to celebrate our fifth birthday. Warm Regards, Jodi and Trish

Sharing life’s passions around the globe Newcastle-based life coach and self-professed ‘passion activator’, Shivani Gupta, has contributed to a new book by New York Times best-selling author Janet Bray Attwood. Inspired by The Passion Test is an emotional anthology of personal stories that attest to the power of The Passion Test, which was developed by Bray Attwood and her business partner Chris Attwood to help people identify their top five passions and align their lives accordingly. Many have used the test to help navigate their relationships, health, family and career. Shivani – a businesswoman, mentor, author and international speaker – is one of 14 people from around the globe, and the only Australian, chosen by Bray Attwood to each write a chapter on how The Passion Test has transformed their lives.

Shivani says she uses it regularly to guide her business and personal life. It helps her drive deeper into things she is doing, but also helps her seek clarity on things she shouldn’t be doing. “The Passion Test inspired me to create my vision board, which is a tool that also helps many of my clients,” Shivani says. “For organisational leaders, when you understand your passion and the passions of others, you can harness that to deliver improved performance and productivity.” Inspired by The Passion Test is designed to encourage others to lead the life they dream about. The book is available for purchase via inspiredbythepassiontest.com Those who buy the book also get a bonus from each of the 16 authors.

Shivani Gupta reveals how The Passion Test has helped her in Inspired by The Passion Test.

Shivani is offering a free copy of her e-book, Passion@Work, which was the companion book to the SBS Television documentary she hosted, titled Risking It All. To take The Passion Test, visit thepassiontest.com - Georgia Osland

International Health Chi Gong Day

Hotel gives back An ingenious ‘skip-the-queue’ initiative at Hamilton’s Sydney Junction Hotel has seen thousands of dollars redirected to local charities. Since the hotel underwent recent renovations, attracting a huge volume of patrons every Friday and Saturday night, owners Clare and Campbell Rodgers saw an opportunity to give back to the community. They’ve dubbed it Local Legends. Those who wish to skip the queue and gain immediate entry to the hotel can pay $20 – all of which is donated to a different local not-for-profit organisation every month. The Cancer Council was the first beneficiary, receiving a generous $34,409 cheque at the end of June (fundraising was conducted over two months). Dog Rescue Newcastle was

Rocking out to raise awareness A group of local rock musicians have organised a gig in the hopes it will put self-help tools into the hands of those who are vulnerable to thoughts of suicide. Drummer Justin Ngariki said the idea had been in the pipeline for a while, but the recent deaths of two industry icons – Chris Cornell (Soundgarden/Audioslave) and Chester Bennington (Linkin Park) – sped up the process. “We had a suicide in the family, which was quite shocking,” Ngariki said. “Then, when Chris Cornell died, it left me thinking that it might be time to do something.” Some of Newcastle’s best musicians will come together at The Cambridge Hotel on Thursday 17 August for a live performance called Loud Love, which aims to raise awareness of suicide and depression. It will feature Mark Cashin, Paul

Drummer Justin Ngariki (centre) and some of the Loud Love crew ahead of the event.

Coxon, Ross Flynn, Chris Hamall, Ken Jewell, Lee Rolfe, Kane Starkey, Amy Vee and Ngariki, as well as special guests Viagro. The crew is set to perform the music of Cornell, Layne Staley (Alice in Chains/Mad Season), Scott Weiland (Stone Temple Pilots/Velvet Revolver) and Kurt Cobain (Nirvana). Ngariki said he was thrilled the event had gained plenty of attention both on social media and in various publications. “A representative from Lifeline will be speaking between the support band and the main act and there’ll be some resources there

from Lifeline as well,” he said. “But, in a way, the build-up to this gig is the bulk of awareness-raising. “Just the fact that it’s being talked about leading into it is very cool.” All money raised from ticket sales and merchandise will go to Lifeline Hunter Central Coast. The show starts at 8pm. Tickets are available via bigtix.oztix.com.au or at the door on the night. If you need to talk to someone, phone Lifeline on 13 11 14 or visit lifeline.org.au - Ben Murphy

August gardening tips I have noticed, this winter, there has been an absence of westerly winds. They are yet to come, so quickly complete the winter pruning, remembering not to prune spring trees and flowering shrubs until after they finish blooming. Roses should have been pruned by now. If you haven’t fertilised them, apply a bucketful of poultry manure to each ground-grown rose, followed in a week or two with a handful of rose food. Deadheading is important at this time for camellias, azaleas, daffodils and other bulbs after they have finished flowering. Citrus maintenance is an important August gardening job. Plants grown in containers should only be fed with a slow-release fertiliser. Never feed with citrus fertiliser. Ground-grown citrus should be fed with

poultry manure, after wetting the ground under the drip line. Follow up several weeks later with citrus fertiliser, again wetting the soil before and after under the drip line. Lawns shouldn't be fed now; leave it until the grass is actively growing – that means when the grass is being mown. Definitely spray for weeds now – early in the morning on dry grass. Fertilise now to prepare gardens for spring. If you’re unsure what to use on particular plants, use a neutral product. Give gardenias, camellias and murraya a healthy dose of cow manure, and natives blood and bone. I am surprised to see tomatoes and basil ready for sale.

PICK OF THE WEEK The Dukes Of Hazzard Saturday, NBN, 10.15pm, M (2005) Those with fond memories of the classic TV show will be happy to know this souped-up revamp retains the spirit of the original. Seann William Scott and Johnny Knoxville reafﬁrm their hoon reputations as Bo and Luke Duke. Burt Reynolds is suitably pathetic as corrupt lawman Boss Hogg, Willie Nelson plays Uncle Jesse and Jessica Simpson (above) simply hangs around like a pair of ﬂuffy dice in the role of cousin Daisy.

Friday

Bridesmaids

Blade Sunday, 7MATE, 9.30pm, MA15+ (1998) Modern comic-book hero Blade steps out of the pages of Marvel and into the shoes of Wesley Snipes (left). Blade is determined to exterminate all vampires on the face of the Earth, especially a megalomaniac (Stephen Dorff) hell-bent on world domination. This cyberpunk thriller seems designed to appeal to everybody – comic collectors, hardcore gore freaks and conspiracy theorists – but loses more focus than a vampire victim loses blood.

Saturday, PRIME7, 9pm, MA15+ (2011) Judd Apatow, best known for producing comedies such as Knocked Up and Superbad, tries his hand at a female-driven ﬂick with this rib-tickler starring and co-written by Kristen Wiig. The ﬁlm follows the down-and-out Annie (Wiig) as she prepares for the wedding of her best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph), while developing insecurities about Lillian’s new friend, the pictureperfect Helen (Rose Byrne, right). The comedy, as you’d expect from an Apatow production, is never too far from the bedroom or the bathroom.

If Jessica works upon her weaknesses, makes practical decisions and puts her affairs in order, the year ahead will be stable, happy and profitable. This isn’t an easy relationship cycle and Jessica may start to grow apart from family, friends or loved ones. This could be because of a move of address or break ups in friendships and relationships. The more serious side of relationships will need to be addressed.

ARIES: MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER: JUN 22 - JUL 22

LIBRA: SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN: DEC 22 - JAN 20

The 8 August Full Moon falls in your friendship zone. A friend might be going through a difficult time or you could become rather annoyed at the actions and attitudes of others. At work, this is an excellent time to acquire equipment that will make you more efficient.

The Full Moon on the 8th indicates a need to pay attention to practical affairs you might have neglected recently. This is not a time to cut corners or to take unnecessary risks. Also, don’t let yourself be talked into anything you don’t

The Full Moon on the 8th indicates you will need to develop some fancy footwork to avoid disagreements at home. The planets signify that your patience and energy are being drained. But don’t give into temptation or take short cuts; they

want to do.

won’t turn out in the long run.

The Full Moon on the 8th indicates that you could be feeling insecure over your work situation. However, don’t forget that your partner also needs attention and reassurance. Domestic undertakings will have uncertain boundaries; get ready for them to expand as they go.

TAURUS: APR 21 - MAY 21

LEO: JUL 23 – AUG 23

SCORPIO: OCT 24 - NOV 22

AQUARIUS: JAN 21 - FEB 19

The Full Moon on the 8th falls in your career zone making it difficult to get any sense out of anyone, therefore be certain to get clarity and check your work carefully before signing off on it. Family members may drop in unexpectedly and bring you a useful gift.

Happy Birthday Leo! The Full Moon on 8 August indicates that someone close is weighed down by worry and lack of self-esteem; your best course of action is to do something practical to increase this person’s confidence rather than just acting as a sounding post.

GEMINI: MAY 22 - JUN 21

VIRGO: AUG 24 - SEP 23

The 8 August Full Moon indicates a disagreement could become quite intense. Chances are that it has nothing to do with you personally but you could still find yourself on the defensive. Other domestic battles should be completely avoided; otherwise you could find yourself in a dilemma.

The Full Moon falls directly in your sign on the 8th making you somewhat hypersensitive. A friend may make an off-the-cuff remark which you find hurtful but the chances of it being deliberate are slim. Try not to take things too personally or you will wear yourself out.

The 8 August Full Moon suggests a need to take great care with legal matters and where other people are concerned. Be careful of what you may be letting yourself in for by agreeing to a course of action. Life will be quite entertaining with plenty to look forward to.

The Full Moon on the 8th indicates that your concentration may not be the greatest, so do your best to avoid tedious people and detailed jobs. Travel plans may not run according to schedule either so be prepared for delays. Your worldly progress will achieve priority.

SAGITTARIUS: NOV 23 - DEC 21

PISCES: FEB 20 - MAR 20

The Full Moon on the 8th warns you to be careful of what you say. You may try to tackle someone in authority only to find they walk all over you. So be careful of having foot in mouth disease at work; you don't want to upset an important colleague.

The Full Moon on 8 August indicates that you will have confusing options to weigh up on both the personal and professional fronts. Therefore, you need rest and a clear mind to make the best choices. On the health front a new diet will give you inspiration.

Give your eyes a rest

As a society, we have become dependent on technology for our day-to-day lives. Prolonged exposure to digital devices – more specifically, the blue light emitted from LED screens – can be detrimental to our overall eye health, leading to a range of symptoms, including eye strain, headaches, fatigue, back and neck pain, as well as blurred vision. Crowd-funded Australian startup EXYRA Eyewear has developed an innovative and affordable lens solution that blocks natural and artificial blue light from entering our retinas and causing muscular and visual damage to our eyes.
