This week

From the editor My great grandma Jessie McGeachie would have celebrated her 99th birthday last Saturday. Sadly, she passed away almost three years ago; her ashes scattered in the sea at Salamander Bay, where she owned an on-site caravan.

I always admired grandma McGeachie. She loved paying homage to her Scottish heritage, and was believed to be one of the oldest members of Clan Donald until she passed.

In her 80s, she travelled to Turkey to pay her respects at Gallipoli on Anzac Day – something I can only hope to achieve in my lifetime.

It is the stoicism of hers and earlier generations that comes to mind when I reflect on Remembrance Day. Observed on 11 November, Remembrance Day commemmorates the day on which the guns fell silent on the Western Front in 1918 (Armistice Day), after more than four years of continuous warfare.

But the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month gained special significance in the post-war years.

Remembrance Day came to honour all of those who suffered and died in the line of duty.

This week, we bring you a cover story about heroes of a different nature – those who protected Newcastle harbour throughout the early 19th to mid-20th Centuries; many of whom lost their lives trying to save others. Story on page 20.

news Morpeth Heritage Conservation Group members Heather and Stephen Berry in front of Morpeth Bridge.

Town seeks to preserve history community group’s bid to put Morpeth on the State Heritage Register has been dealt a blow after Maitland City Council voted against in-principle support for a consultation period.

The Morpeth Heritage Conservation Group wrote to the

Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) last year in an attempt to preserve the Lower Hunter town’s historical significance.

The state government body then, in turn, sought Maitland council’s approval, which would trigger a lengthy consultation process with the

community. But the OEH’s request was knocked back.

Central Ward councillor, Philip Penfold, underlined concerns over a “wholesale listing” of Morpeth.

“The great majority of these family homes aren’t of heritage significance,” he said.

“The village is already designated as a heritage conservation area and seven properties of significance are listed on the State Heritage Register.

“A listing on the title of every home could devalue, and would greatly restrict, changes to family homes.”

But Morpeth Heritage Conservation Group president Simon Brooker believed development was a genuine threat to the town.

“The issue we face in the Maitland LGA is that it’s one of the fastest growing urban areas in the state,” he said. “Any land, or vacant land, is

potential development.

“Morpeth is almost exactly the same footprint and layout as it was in the 1840s and 50s, and we believe that this rural setting is worth keeping.”

Despite Mr Brooker’s fears, Cr Penfold said he was confident the town would not lose its identity.

“Morpeth is surrounded by a river and flood ways, which will always limit development,” he said.

“I’m confident its historic character will remain and be supported by this, and future, councils.”

Mr Brooker warned the group would not back down.

“There’s been a couple of development applications in the last few years that we’ve thought are totally inappropriate, and we’ve won those,” he said.

news Community overwhelmingly supports euthanasia bill Novocastrian Kathy Connell didn’t hesitate when she was asked about her views on voluntary assisted dying.

“I don’t think people realise that it’s a thing of love,” she says.

“It’s not dirty work, and it’s not murder.”

A Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2017 (NSW) will be debated in parliament on Thursday 16 November.

The bill has a number of safeguards in an attempt to deter cases of abuse and coercion.

Patients must be aged over 25, in severe pain, and expected to die from a terminal illness within 12 months to receive assistance.

They also need to give consent, ruling out sufferers of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease, and be examined by two medical practitioners, as

well as a psychologist or clinical psychologist.

Kathy is adamant the bill needs to be passed.

“I think [the bill] is a little light on, but I can see their reasoning for that – it’s got a better chance of getting through,” she says.

For her, the issue is extremely personal.

She lost her beloved husband, Geoff, almost two years ago.

The well-known Newcastle businessman had suffered a long battle with prostate cancer prior to his death on 20 November, 2015 at the age of 67.

“The year before he died, he lived for the moment,” Kathy recalls.

“But he collapsed [in early November], lost the use of one leg and, over the next 20 days, lost the use of his second leg, then his

hand and arm.

“He thought he had the willpower to take himself out, and we said goodbye to him three times when we thought he was done.

“That had a psychological impact on the family [but] it was taken out of our hands and we were told it was the process.

“It took him another five days [to die].”

Before his battle with cancer, Geoff was a fit, strong man, who played tennis, skied, and rode his bicycle for more than 30 kilometres, three times a week.

Kathy believes he should have been given the option to end his own life.

“It would’ve been nice for him to go when he was in a travelling mood,” she says.

Hunter residents discussed the

issue during a forum at Fletcher Community Centre late last month.

Wallsend MP Sonia Hornery, who hosted the event, noted that 89% of people within her electorate supported the idea of voluntary assisted dying.

It was a similar scenario in Port Stephens, with member Kate Washington stating 87% of residents backed the bill, while Maitland MP Jenny Aitchison said 84.5% of her constituents also agreed.

Outside of NSW, a landmark voluntary assisted dying bill was passed in Victoria’s Lower and Upper House. This puts Victoria on the verge of becoming the first state in Australia to legalise euthanasia. However, the bill is likely to be heavily amended before it is finalised.

news Government announces study on Williamtown contamination Paterson MP Meryl Swanson has praised news that the Turnbull government will act on fears of a cancer cluster in Williamtown and investigate the potential human health impacts associated with PFAS exposure.

Ms Swanson said she welcomed any examinations that could help her constituents understand the chemical that had invaded their bodies and tainted their land, and take steps towards protecting their own health and that of their loved ones.

The government announced last week it had established an Expert Health Panel to draw on Australian and international scientific research into the health effects of PFAS exposure, identify priority areas for research, and

10

consider the views of stakeholders and the public.

Some parts of Williamtown, Salt Ash and Fullerton Cove were contaminated by the bio-persistent, accumulative substances PFAS following the systemic use of firefighting foam at RAAF Base Williamtown.

“We have been fighting for years for the Department of Health and the Department of Defence to seriously consider the potential human health impact of PFAS,” Ms Swanson said.

“The anecdotal evidence is quite extraordinary.”

Ms Swanson encourages all residents whose lives have been affected by PFAS to make a submission to the panel via allenandclarke.com/pfas

news Petition over koala habitat sale

Solo sail set to fulfil dreams Wendy Evans will attempt to become the first person with a severe disability to sail solo around Lake Macquarie.

The Sailability Toronto member will set sail from Toronto Amateur Sailing Club tomorrow, Friday 10 November, on the first leg of her ambitious journey.

With the help of rescue craft from Sailability Toronto and the Royal Motor Yacht Club of Toronto, Wendy hopes to complete the sail in several legs over a number of weeks.

She has a noteworthy history of racing and winning at regattas both in Australia and internationally, however, this is the first time a venture like this has been attempted on Lake Macquarie.

In doing so, Wendy hopes to raise awareness for the disabled community and their potential for achievement.

In other good news to come from Sailability Toronto, the club launched a brand new, specially-designed yacht fitted with joystick controls last month.

12

Sailability Toronto member Wendy Evans is set to take the lake by storm.

The club’s umbrella organisation, Sailability NSW, received a $14,970 grant from the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation to buy and equip the yacht, to make sailing more accessible for everyone, regardless of age or ability.

Sailability NSW president John Price said the grant contributed greatly to the program’s function and continuation.

“With this new yacht and its modifications, people who thought independent sailing wasn’t possible now have the opportunity to participate without barriers or limitations,” Mr Price said.

A petition has called on the state government to buy back the Mambo Wetlands koala habitat before houses are built on the land.

The government sold the six-hectare lot to a property developer in 2016 despite the objections of local residents, Landcare, and koala conservation groups.

A development application is now under consideration by Port Stephens Council.

Port Stephens state MP Kate Washington says the only way to protect the land is to return it to public ownership.

“I’m very grateful to everyone in the community who has been vocal on this from the time the ‘for sale’ sign was erected,” she says.

“We are all still reeling in disbelief that our precious wetland was sold off by a government that purports to protect vulnerable and endangered species.”

If the petition gathers 10,000 signatures, it will then be debated in parliament. For a copy of the petition, contact Kate Washington’s office on 4987 4455 or visit portstephens@parliament.nsw.gov.au

news High tea helps raise funds for Bald & Beautiful Day Every year, in an awe-inspiring display of community spirit, the Bald & Beautiful Day brings a ray of sunshine into the lives of people living with cancer.

Through manicures, pedicures, massage, makeup and more, the day aims to leave everyone feeling good about themselves – even the volunteers who do the pampering.

But the event costs money to host, from gift bags and goodies right down to venue hire and catering.

“It’s never been about the money, but the problem is, you can’t do it without it,” Bald & Beautiful Day founder Judith Taylor told Newcastle Weekly.

So, this year, organisers will host a fundraising high tea at St Francis Xavier College in

Hamilton ahead of the annual Bald & Beautiful Day on 2 May 2018 at Wests New Lambton.

To be held on Wednesday 15 November at the college’s D Block Café, the high tea will be catered by year 11 hospitality students, with the event to count towards their Higher School Certificates.

Tickets cost $60 per person and include lunch, sweets and drinks, plus there’s lots of chances to win prizes in the raffle.

Event organiser Libby Cornish said the Bald & Beautiful Day itself utilised many student volunteers, from local schools, beauty colleges and the like, and it was great to involve them in the fundraiser for such a worthwhile event.

Tickets to the high tea are

news Boost to reduce home burglaries

Team investigates diet during pregnancy University of Newcastle dieticians are investigating the impact of dietary habits on expectant mothers and their babies.

Researcher Zoe Szewczyk says pregnancy can be a confusing time when it comes to nutritional advice but, to date, there has been limited studies done on subsequent health outcomes and healthcare costs.

“What a woman is recommended to eat during pregnancy can influence her health and wellbeing and also that of her baby,” Ms Szewczyk says.

“Maternal nutrition is also related to healthcare factors, like the number of visits to a doctor, as well as costs for the mother and healthcare system.”

Chief investigator, professor Clare Collins, says she believes it’s important to develop a model of care, including access to personalised nutrition advice in pregnancy, for women when they want it.

The university’s dieticians have called on expectant mothers in their last trimester to complete an online survey to help researchers determine and understand the links between nutrition and health.

The research team requires pregnant women

Researcher Zoe Szewczyk.

from within the Hunter New England Local Health District, who are also 28-36 weeks’ gestation (third trimester), over 18 years of age, and planning to deliver their baby at John Hunter Hospital.

If you meet the criteria, and want to participate, head to bit.ly/costdiet to complete the online survey, or contact the research team on 4921 5646 for more information.

Lake Macquarie council has been handed $49,585 to boost its efforts to reduce burglaries across the city.

The funds are part of the state government’s $500,000 Safer Community Compact grants, which helps deliver grassroots solutions to crime.

A home security public awareness campaign will take place in Lake Macquarie, with the council to provide pop-up information booths at shopping centres, and continue working alongside local police.

The Lake Macquarie Residential Burglary Project will show residents how they can protect their home, such as using engraving tools to mark valuables so they can be easily identified and less attractive to thieves.

Lake Macquarie mayor Kay Fraser says it’s crucial that the city is a safe place for people to live and for businesses to operate.

“This funding will help council to continue its work to reduce crime in Lake Macquarie, as well as build community awareness on ways in which residents can improve safety at home,” Cr Fraser says.

news Coach expands students’ horizons

Park-and-ride to save commuters cash

Community programs, work placement and volunteering will not be off-limits to Newcastle Senior School students thanks to a new Sunshine Coach from Variety – The Children’s Charity.

Variety presented the coach to the Wallsend school last week, ensuring its students, who have significant disabilities, don’t miss out on important educational opportunities.

Sunshine Coaches can be fitted with wheelchair modifications, meaning all children have equal opportunity to attend excursions and extra-curricular activities together.

Variety contributed $45,000 towards the coach through funds raised from this year’s NSW Variety Bash, including that provided by event sponsors.

The school raised the remainder of the money needed to buy and fit-out the coach.

Variety – the Children’s Charity NSW regional director, Jason Bourke, said every child deserved the chance to be involved in every aspect of school life.

“We are proud to be able to support the

A new park-and-ride service will save Newcastle commuters thousands of dollars in parking fees.

The Newcastle council-led initiative, which started this week, is free to use until 25 January.

Buses will run from McDonald Jones Stadium every 15 minutes on weekdays between 6.30am and 8.30am, with stops designed to deliver passengers within a few minutes’ walk of anywhere in the CBD. Buses will then make the return trip from Customs House to the stadium every 15 minutes from 4.30pm to 6pm.

From 29 January onwards, users must pay $2 to park their cars at the stadium, which can be done via a smart app.

The service does not operate at the stadium when the Newcastle Knights or Newcastle Jets are playing.

For more information, and to register your details, visit the council’s website: newcastle.nsw.gov.au or phone 4974 2000.

cover story Honouring our heroes at sea history was the rescue of 32 men from the French vessel Adolphe when it ran aground in 1904.

Today, that wreckage forms part of the Stockton breakwall. The lifeboat service was disbanded in 1946.

The Rocket Brigade, which assisted ships in distress, dissolved in 1974 after the stranding of the Sygna – the remains of which can still be seen on Stockton Beach.

“It is through the noble deeds of these crews that Newcastle is now a safer port,” Bill says.

There are some permanent memorials by which the VLDF and others can remember these men.

One, is the original, English‑built Victoria II lifeboat, which was launched in Newcastle harbour in 1897 and used in the Adolphe rescue mission. It is on display at Newcastle Maritime Museum.

The other, is the Lifeboat & Rocket

Brigade Memorial near Nobbys Lighthouse.

The timber seat shaped like a boat was installed in December 2013, with the help of Newcastle council, as a lasting tribute to those who protected the harbour.

The VLDF had lobbied for the

establishment of a permanent memorial for 10 years before that.

These days, its members, who are not only from Newcastle but all over the world, are a little less active, but they still take the time to give these men the recognition they deserve.

The brave men who served in the Newcastle Lifeboat Service and Rocket Brigade were battlers in every sense of the word.

And, it’s only through their relatives – the Victoria Lifeboat Descendants and Friends (VLDF) – that we can understand their plight.

“They were battling against the fury of the sea,” group convenor Bill Hillier tells Newcastle Weekly.

“These men would go out and fight the sea to bring people in to safety.”

About 350 men in the lifeboat service watched over Newcastle’s harbour from 1838 to 1946 – many of whom lost their lives trying to save others.

Their rescue missions often took place in rough seas, during which they were at Mother Nature’s mercy.

Charles Webster, Hamilton The winner was Charles Webster with a special commendation to David Sams but all five are winners in our eyes.

A double to Roy O’Donovan and a first goal of the season for Andrew Nabbout bookended highflying Newcastle’s 3-0 win over Wellington on Saturday.

The unbeaten Jets hit the front eight minutes before the halftime break when O’Donovan took advantage of a shocking back pass to finish past Phoenix goalkeeper Keegan Smith at the second attempt.

Newcastle’s lethal Irish striker then slotted home a pinpoint cross from Dimi Petratos to make it 2-0 at the end of the first period.

The second half was more of the same, with the Jets controlling the

tempo and looking dangerous in the front third.

The impressive Nabbout, who had already made several threatening runs, finally broke his goalscoring drought in the 54th minute when he curled a fine strike into the bottom right corner to complete the rout.

The victory handed Newcastle its first clean sheet and maintained the club’s best ever start to an A-League campaign.

The third-placed Jets tackle Adelaide this Saturday 11 November at Coopers Stadium.

Kick-off is at 5.35pm.

Newcastle has reached the NSW Country Championships cricket final after a 63-run win over title-holders Western at the weekend.

In-form all-rounder Joe Price blasted an unbeaten 111 to guide Newcastle to a total of 7/223 from its 50 overs.

Western was then restricted to 160 in reply as spinner Dylan Hunter bagged 4/22 and Price snared 2/28 with his medium pacers.

Both sides went into the clash undefeated after victories over Central North and North Coast.

The final will be contested at Bowral’s Bradman Oval on Sunday 26 November.

Newcastle’s opponent is yet to be confirmed.

Home Care Assistance Newcastle advertising moment

High-quality home care support you deserve When Denise Renshaw-Dugan began to consider changing aged care providers, the thought seemed somewhat daunting.

Now she says it’s the “best thing I've ever done”.

Denise’s previous experience with home care was not unusual.

“Some of the carers that used to come were lovely, but I was never sure who would come,” she said.

“If I called up they didn’t seem to listen or be able to help.”

It was only through a conversation with a friend that Denise realised she had the option of changing home care providers.

“It’s really very easy to change, especially if you go with Kerrie and Mark,” Denise said.

“They went through it all with me and helped me understand it.”

Kerrie and Mark Burns own Home Care Assistance Newcastle, a local business offering a personalised approach to in‑home aged care.

Expertly‑trained carers work alongside clients to promote independence, dignity, and make daily living more enjoyable.

Carers are constantly available to help out with a number of tasks, including: gourmet meal preparation, personal care, optimisation of home physical environment, medication prompts, cognitive therapeutic activities, respite, and social support to help clients resume lifestyle activities.

Denise said, initially, she was wary about changing, but she’s never been happier.

“I’m a pensioner and now it costs me nothing and I still get more hours,” she said.

Home Care Assistance charges lower fees than other providers.

“The additional care we can deliver really makes a difference in the lives of our clients,” Kerrie said.

“We tailor every Home Care Package to suit

Home Care Assistance Newcastle co-owner Kerrie Burns with client Denise Renshaw-Dugan.

each client’s needs rather than try and squeeze the client into a one‑size‑fits‑all model.”

“They [Home Care Assistance] help with everything I need, but it’s the conversations that make all the difference,” Denise added.

Are your headaches a pain in the neck?

Nearly all of us will experience a headache at some point in our lifetime.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, 15% of the population take headache medication.

Headaches can be very frustrating and impose a significant burden on quality of life.

A new direction in chronic headache treatment is establishing a link between neck stiffness or tenderness and headaches.

We find many chronic sufferers haven’t explored the possibility of their headaches being caused by problems with the neck joints.

Research has shown that about 20% of headaches are cervicogenic, or neck-related. This type of headache will likely be responsive to neck treatment.

Traumatic events like whiplash

from a car accident or repetitive, prolonged activities create microtrauma and damage to the neck joints. This damage will lead to inflammation and irritation of the surrounding nerve structures.

Sitting for long periods, slouching, poor posture, working at a computer, using a hand-held device, sleeping on your tummy are all activities which may affect the correct function of your upper neck joints.

What is frustrating for people to understand is that they “haven’t done anything” to injure these joints. Most people believe that a major traumatic injury is required to damage these joints; unfortunately, this is not the case.

The Family Life Chiropractic team can help you get to the root of your headaches and neck joint pain.

As a chiropractor, our focus is on the correct function of the spine and nervous system. Improving spine alignment and joint function will help lighten the load on your nervous system, which supports the body’s ability to heal itself naturally.

If you suffer from headaches and want to ask any specific questions, we are happy to share our knowledge and expertise.

time out Band won’t rest on glowing reputation They’ve built a reputation as one of the world’s best festival bands over the past 15 years.

And, The Cat Empire is showing no signs of slowing down.

The alternative rock/jazz group’s latest album, Rising With The Sun, released last year, produced even more chart-topping hits, including Que Sera Ahora, Wolves, and Bull.

Newcastle Weekly took five with one of the band’s members, Jamshid Khadiwala, to find out how they’ve been able to sustain such success.

“I’d probably put that down to

our live shows being consistently fun for fans to come along to and [also] our album cycles being every two to three years,” Khadiwala says.

“I think our last two records, especially, have been able to cement us for a few years; we captured some new elements and showed who we are.”

The Cat Empire will give local fans a chance to see for themselves, with the band set to perform alongside singer-songwriter Xavier Rudd at the SummerSalt national

“We’ve known [Rudd] for a long time, so it’s going to be really good,” Khadiwala says.

“I think it’s something that was always going to happen.”

Khadiwala has been with The Cat Empire since the early 2000s.

He brings a different element to the group, performing on turntables, the tambourine,

and clave.

“I enjoyed scratching and sound manipulation from quite an early age and, in my late teens or early 20s, I met [lead vocalist] Felix and the band,” he says.

“They really enjoyed the sound that I brought and it went from there.”

RAISE the ROOF

After struggling with her weight most of her adult life, Thornton’s Megan Ellam found her saviour in the low-carb, high-fat diet.

Now, she wants to share its benefits with others.

The self-published author last week pre-released her second cookbook, Flavour, which is packed with low-carb, high-fat recipes.

It follows the successful release of her first book, Real Food Real Fast, in August.

It took Ellam years to reach a diagnosis of insulin resistance, which only came about after a visit to a sports doctor when she injured her foot exercising.

This had prevented her from losing weight and keeping it off.

The sports doctor had studied in the field, and, sure enough, as soon as Ellam switched to a low-carb, high-fat diet in March, she instantly began dropping kilos.

Today, she has lost 25 kilos, and hopes to reach her goal of 33 kilos lost by Christmas.

Ellam now only eats 20 grams of carbohydrates a day, and supplements that with fats, including good fats, like avocado, coconut oil, eggs and cheese.

“I am so much healthier in every way, and have a whole new life and dream to follow,” she says.

Having already started a website as a platform to share her favourite (often carbohydrate-saturated) recipes, and, being an experienced former kitchenhand, Ellam decided to create a second website dedicated to low-carb, high-fat recipes.

She had studied food and nutrition at TAFE, giving her a good understanding of the way the body processes foods.

Frankies Place advertising moment

Frankies’ exciting new era An old Darby Street favourite has been given a new lease on life.

Frankies by Fibonacci Coffee, set in the heart of Cooks Hill’s bustling shopping precinct, is under fresh management.

After weeks of refurbishment, the quirky café/ restaurant now offers a sleek, modern look while also maintaining a nostalgic vibe.

“The place looks amazing – we took everything out, repainted, resurfaced the floor, walls, and replaced all of the furniture,” owner Brian Verwey says.

“It’s just an old Novocastrian favourite that’s been given a new lick of paint.”

When Mr Verwey and his family moved to Australia from South Africa earlier this year, they were eager for an opportunity in the hospitality industry.

And, Frankies just so happened to pop up on the market.

“We purchased it in August, closed it down immediately for six weeks, and then reopened in October,” Mr Verwey says.

“We always wanted to run our own place and

now we have it.” Mr Verwey says the venture, and his family’s time in Newcastle, has been brilliant.

“We love being in Newcastle and the lifestyle here; I don’t think people here realise how lucky they are,” he says.

Frankies teamed up up with Fibonacci Coffee to introduce this highly sought-after coffee to Darby Street. The new owners also added a slightly different touch to the menu.

The meals are described as contemporary Australian cuisine, but some are mixed with an element of adventure and quirkiness.

Frankies prides itself on delivering quality cuisine, and Mr Verwey says he’s also been impressed with what his neighbours have served up on Darby Street.

“Everyone on the street has really good food.

“I’m really happy to be a part of this friendly environment – all of the restaurants and the owners get along, we just love Darby Street.”

Frankies is open from 6.30am to 10pm, Monday to Saturday, and 6.30am to 3pm on Sundays.

Frankies by Fibonacci Coffee is serving up contemporary Australian cuisine in a vibrant atmosphere.

Exhibition showcases suburbs

The title for Gallery 139’s latest exhibition came easily.

Rockin’ the Suburbs, which opens today (Thursday 9 November) and is on display until Sunday 26 November, showcases a number of artists’ viewpoints on the suburbs they grew up in. There’s a nod to old country warehouses, cruisin’ the backstreets, and drinking in the sun.

Gallery 139 director Ahn Wells says she’s excited about the group show.

“This is why I started the gallery in the first place; I like finding artists and putting them together in a show,” she says.

“All of the artists have a really cool, groovy way of working.

“One of my gallery artists, Peter Lankas, will have his work in the

show and it’s his normal stuff in terms of suburbs and life in general.”

During the show, Gallery 139 will also partner with an Australianbased organisation called Art Money for the first time.

The initiative offers customers a new way to buy art.

After paying a minimum 10% deposit, you can take your artwork home on the day and pay the remaining balance over nine months, interest-free.

Peter Lankas vicaman 2017 iPad drawing 37 x 25cm

“And the artist gets paid from Art Money,” Wells adds.

“I’m the first gallery in Newcastle to do it.”

Apart from Lankas, the other exhibiting artists include: Ellie Kaufmann, Jo Shand, Dane Tobias, and Nadia Aurisch.

Gallery 139 is located at 139A Beaumont Street, Hamilton. For more information, including exhibition times, visit gallery139. com.au or find them on Facebook.

Op shop ‘til you drop Fashion-conscious shoppers can flex their thriftiness at an upcoming Vinnies styling session and summer fashion parade.

To be held at Vinnies Islington on Thursday 16 November from 5.30pm to 8pm, the event is the perfect opportunity to discover your unique personal style and comb the op shop for bargains.

Vinnies’ resident stylist Tara Castellan will divulge her trade secrets and unlock the mysteries of inspired op-shopping.

The “Tara’s Pick” rack will feature her selection of spring stock, making choosing and matching outfits that much easier.

Vinnies devotees and newcomers alike can mingle over drinks and nibbles, and seek personalised help from Tara on how to build their wardrobes, seamlessly combine old and new, and create different looks.

Plus, by coming along, you could be one of the 20 lucky people to win a goodie bag, which includes an exclusive copy of the Vinnies Styling Handbook, or a lucky door prize.

Matthew Talbot Homeless Service manager, Karen Soper, who is also a professional entertainer, will be the event’s MC and music director.

Maitland/Newcastle Central Council centres retail coordinator, Karen Sills-Davis, says she is very

excited to hold the inaugural event in Newcastle.

“We want people to get the most out of shopping at Vinnies, and Tara will be able to help inspire and get the creative juices flowing so shoppers can find a bargain every time,” she says.

“Not all of our shoppers are

aware that all the proceeds from sales go to helping disadvantaged people in the area.

“Anyone interested in coming along can just turn up, or pop in in advance and let our friendly team of volunteers know and be registered on our new customer data base.”

Could your kitchen do with a facelift...at less cost?

Fickle weather causes fickle flowering What is happening with the weather? Hot, wet, freezing cold!

We don’t know what to wear and neither do the plants. Should we blossom? Will we make new growth on our deciduous friends?

Limes and passionfruit trees have budded, but their new fruit doesn’t want to ripen.

Blame the weather, not yourself, although it will help to apply sulphate of potash to fruiting plants to hold their buds, which produce the fruit and vegetables.

Some spring flowers are still blooming, such as pansies and violas, but, unfortunately, if you want a colourful Christmas, you will need to plant out immediately – petunias, lobelia and marigolds.

It is too late to fertilise garden beds with cow manure; plant, then wait at least a week and throw around cow manure – not onto the plant’s foliage. Compensate the lack of time with weekly applications of Flourish.

November is a fabulous month for taller-growing bulbs such as hippeastrums, iris, arums and November lillies, which will cope with the unusual weather.

Watsonias are useful for background planting as they develop into large clumps growing to 120 centimetres tall. Their straplike foliage bears even taller flower spikes in white, pink, salmon and red, which can be divided after the foliage dies back in late summer.

You might find limes are yet to ripen due to fluctuations in weather.

But unless your neighbour has this beautiful plant, they can be difficult to find. I have always found the Diggers Club in Victoria can supply.

Tomatoes, by now, will be bearing green fruit. Give them a side dressing of Bounceback, keeping a close watch for blight or wilt.

Fruit fly traps should be employed by now as once fruit begins to ripen the fly will attack, especially larger-growing varieties like Grosse Lisse.

Did you boost your agapanthus with cow manure at the end of winter? If not, try a quick solution of sulphate of potash to aid flowering.

Hibiscus and gardenias will benefit from an application of cow manure, although yellowing leaves may require a dose of chelated iron, which is watered over the root system late in the day.

This heritage-listed property could be your own slice of history. In 1842, Caroline Chisholm rented two terraces and converted them into this single cottage to shelter homeless immigrants in the district. It is the only surviving building in NSW, built circa 1835, so directly associated with Caroline Chisholm, who featured on the $5 notes between 1967 and 1991.

As blocks are getting smaller and smaller, the reality of finding a large parcel of land where you can build your dream home, usually means moving further away to get it. Well, stop looking.

PICK OF THE WEEK Saving Private Ryan

Jurassic World

Saturday, 9GEM, 9.10pm, MA15+ (1998) Nothing can diminish the enthralling pace and pummelling intensity of Steven Spielberg’s mature World War II epic. Tom Hanks (pictured) leads a platoon to contact and rescue a paratrooper (Matt Damon) who has been dropped behind enemy lines during the Allied invasion of Normandy. The muted tone and cinema verité style keeps things gritty (and not just the ever-present mud and rain). Among Spielberg’s many great films, Saving Private Ryan is a stand-out.

Friday

Wednesday, NBN, 8.45pm, M (2015) It’s been 24 years since Jurassic Park burst on to our screens and scared the bejeezus out of audiences both young and old. This new instalment takes the tale of over-eager humans at the mercy of prehistoric animals to a whole other level. On the island of Isla Nublar, Jurassic World is a fully functioning dinosaur theme park that attracts thousands of visitors a day. But when a genetically modified hybrid dinosaur experiment creates Indominus Rex, well, things don’t go so well. Stars Chris Pratt (pictured).

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO

in the

STARS STARS WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

www.francisbevan.com

For personal readings, phone Francis on 9673 6321.

Credit cards welcome.

Francis Bevan direct 1902 264 063 or 24 hour line 1902 267 040 $5.50 per minute (higher pay-phone or mobile)..

Leonardo will find his moods more changeable and his behaviour more impulsive. He’ll be taking the initiative, putting plans into action and be able to tackle life with a growing self-confidence. His emotions will take on a life of their own, however, he must guard against losing his temper. On the career front, short-term projects will suit him better than long-term ones. His energy level will be high and he’ll feel enthusiastic and excited about everyone and everything.

ARIES: MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER: JUN 22 - JUL 22

LIBRA: SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN: DEC 22 - JAN 20

Money wise and in dealings with authority you’re in luck and assertive and won’t take less than perfect. Just make sure that you don’t take this wilfulness too far or you could wind up dishing out more than anyone deserves. At the very least you will get what you want.

You may find it hard to express your feelings to the one you love.

You might try to sort out a number of financial or practical issues with your partner, only to find they walk away and don’t want to listen to what you have to say.

It’s full steam ahead with Mars in your sign all month. When it comes to a personal or family issue, it’s time to ask some hard questions and take a firm stand. Don’t let a loved one walk all over you, and avoid a tendency to procrastinate! You won’t get far if you just sit on the fence.

To make the most of one of your luckiest cycles ever, you need to get over your ego and any power-mongering tendencies you might have developed over the years. With the help of diplomatic Venus and proactive Mars, strive to anticipate and smooth over workplace hassles before they occur.

TAURUS: APR 21 - MAY 21

This month’s challenging Mars/ Pluto Square urges you to pace yourself and do your best to avoid run-ins with authority figures.

If you’re the person in charge, then resist the urge to be bossy and overbearing with others.

Being too demanding will get you nowhere fast!

SCORPIO: OCT 24 - NOV 22

AQUARIUS: JAN 21 - FEB 19

You are supposed to be incredibly patient now, but it doesn’t mean you are immune to stress. This month sees you playing the role of discreet peacemaker, however you won’t be able to keep this up for long. If you’re single, you could fall for someone from overseas.

It’s time to celebrate! Jupiter is moving through your sign until November 2018 so make sure you capitalise on the energy boost, positive mood and good fortune. Venus in your own sign encourages you to approach challenges with plenty of passion, intelligence and resilience.

With Jupiter in your career zone you can look forwards to a promotion, new job or lucky break over the next 12 months.

However, there’s no room for false modesty! In order to truly flourish, you must be passionately proactive as you promote your capabilities and talents.

GEMINI: MAY 22 - JUN 21

VIRGO: AUG 24 - SEP 23

SAGITTARIUS: NOV 23 - DEC 21

Business prospects look good this month. Certainly the pace is picking up; there may even be some good news from an agent or adviser. You’ll be focusing on ways to increase your long-range financial security and may even meet up with experts to explore your options.

Your public profile really takes off over the next 12 months as Jupiter blesses all forms of communications. So it’s a terrific time to start a blog, launch a website or promote your current business. One of your social media posts could even go viral.

Work could be frustrating or a friend could surprise you by doing something unexpected, so pace yourself. It’s definitely time for speedy Sagittarians to slow down and become much more philosophical, as Jupiter moves through your contemplation zone for the next 12 months.

You might face a moral and philosophical conundrum as you ponder if honesty is always the best policy. With Jupiter transiting through your travel zone, foreign shores beckon over the next 12 months. So start planning your itinerary. It’s important to keep up-to-date with overseas contacts.

My favourite things MY BACKYARD I’m the proud father of a wonderful four-year-old daughter, Annabel, who has inherited my love of the outdoors. My wife and I have had a great time exploring the region with her since moving here two years ago. Doing the tourist thing in your own backyard is great because when friends or family visit you know the spots to take them. My tips?

Nelson Bay is a favourite for a day trip. We also really enjoy the foreshore; the long flat stretches are really made for kids riding their bikes.

ANNABEL’S PORTRAIT As you can see, Annabel is quite the artist. I love to spend time with her whenever I am not working. She has a strong artistic streak. I think it’s so important that we encourage creativity.

TRYING NEW THINGS

Peter Cock

NEWCASTLE AIRPORT CEO

As CEO of Newcastle Airport, Peter is more or less responsible for making Hunter residents’ travelling dreams true. No pressure! Being accountable for all facets of the business, including aviation development, Peter and his team are working tirelessly behind the scenes to secure new domestic and international routes from the airport. As the region waits with baited breath for the announcement of a direct international service from the airport, Peter says what gets him out of bed in the morning is his vision to provide an airport the region deserves. Peter holds a PhD in Environmental Science and considers some of his greatest achievements as completing the Mount Everest Base Camp climb in May 2008, riding across Australia in just over two days on his motorbike, and taking a year out from corporate life to care for his daughter, Annabel.

Have you ever tried cheese rolling? Me neither! I have a fascination with learning new things and seeking out ways to expand my mind. I love science-fiction movies and listening to Ted Talks for that reason; they are thought-provoking. I once taught myself to play guitar in a bid to stimulate the creative side of my brain.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING I’ve always liked to keep fit and believe exercise is key to living a long and happy life. But now I have an even better perspective on health. For me, it’s about more than just fitness. Wellbeing is also really important. This is key for me at home and at the office. I really enjoy getting out in nature. We have such great walks like Glenrock and Bar Beach to the foreshore via Fort Scratchley.

MY PASSPORT It is said that in order to really live, make sure that once a year you go someplace you have never been before. I am trying that out.

We are heading to the USA for the first time next year. We are also hoping to fly to New Zealand for a family holiday. I’d love to hire a campervan and drive through those scenic mountain ranges.
