This week...

From the editor How's everybody travelling with their New Year's resolutions?

Research says about 80% of people will give up on their resolutions by mid-February. With roughly 55% of those resolutions being health-related, that's a lot of promises to eat better and exercise more going down the gurgler.

Part of the reason it can be so difficult to hold yourself accountable to a long-term goal such as weight loss is the delay in reward.

They say it takes four weeks for you to see your body change; eight weeks for friends and family; and 12 weeks for the rest of the world to notice. Hold up, 12 weeks?! No wonder most of us give up and move on.

But there is hope. If you resolved to get in shape this year, there's no need to abandon the wagon if you've fallen off it. Fitness guru Tiff Hall, who coached Novocastrian twins Meg McGrice and Emma Duncan on The Biggest Loser Australia in 2011, goes by a three-hour reset rule.

It means that, if you've been doing all the right things, eating well and exercising, and you're brought undone by office birthday cake - it's not the end of the world. Reset your food intake, and your attitude, and be on your merry way. Everyone slips up, and life is for living.

Drought fuels desperation Financial stress, mental health concerns and a bleak outlook.

Port Stephens farmer Drew Shearman has seen the desperation first-hand as landholders battle a crippling drought in the Hunter Region.

Mr Shearman, who travels throughout the region in his role with livestock management and agricultural services, says the prolonged dry conditions are taking a toll on people.

“It’s probably the worst I’ve seen it in the 14 years of doing what I do,” he tells Newcastle

situation, while he adds the full effect of the drought will not be felt for several months.

“People are doing everything they can but, in some cases, it’s just not enough,” he says.

“The biggest trouble with droughts is that a lot of people who aren’t exposed to it think it’s all over with a bit of rain.

“But the full effect will come in winter as no one has hay stockpiled and no one has winter feed growing.”

The lack of rain has also impacted the region’s dams, which

no sprinkler use at any time and limited watering with a handheld hose. In response to the current climate, Hunter Water has announced a Love Water campaign to promote the preservation of the precious resource.

The organisation’s managing director Jim Bentley says it encourages the community to be more water efficient.

“It’s vital we do everything we can to conserve water and not take it for granted,” he says.

In January, there was a 20% increase in demand for water

now sit at their lowest summer levels in more than a decade.

As Newcastle Weekly went to print, the dams registered 68.2% capacity.

If the overall level drops to 60% or lower, it will trigger stage-one water restrictions.

For households, this means

compared to the same period over 10 years.

On average, the region used 260 million litres a day – the equivalent of 104 Olympic swimming pools.

January also recorded the highest water usage since November 2002.

“A lot of people in farming have no income, yet it is costing them to feed and water their animals.

“I know a guy who is spending almost $1,000 a day just to feed his cattle.”

news Not the time to relax: emergency service sector Newcastle emergency service workers have hit back against calls for liquor licensing regulations in the CBD to be relaxed.

The Last Drinks coalition of police and ambulance officers, doctors, nurses and health sector workers has condemned arguments that “low-impact venues” – those that manage noise well and serve alcohol responsibly, with a low rate of alcohol-related violence – should be exempt from some conditions that currently apply.

These exemptions include extended cocktail service and potentially longer trading hours for Newcastle venues with good track records, as recommended by Newcastle council in its submission to the NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority’s review of license conditions.

6

At present, strict conditions apply under the “Newcastle Solution”, introduced in 2008, which encompasses a suite of measures – including lockout times and drink stockpiling bans – designed to reduce alcoholrelated violence and antisocial behaviour, particularly during late-night trading.

However, the review seeks to determine if, 10 years on, these conditions are still valid.

The Last Drinks coalition strongly believes they are, and, if anything, argues the conditions need to be strengthened.

In its comprehensive submission to the review, the coalition cited local and international data to demonstrate how increasing opening hours, extending alcohol service and providing exemptions to

specific venues, inevitably led to heightened violence and other health harms in the Newcastle local government area.

NSW Police Association (Newcastle Branch) Chair and frontline police officer, Cody Woods, said the message from the data was clear.

“More and stronger alcohol means increased intoxication, equals more assaults and related harms,” he said.

“Those are the facts. That’s what the data from Newcastle and overseas tells us and that’s what eye-witness accounts from Newcastle emergency service workers confirm on the streets.”

Mr Woods went on to describe the Newcastle Solution’s positive impact.

“After the Newcastle Solution was introduced in 2008, we saw

a 37% reduction in assaults,” he said.

“Over just one, 12-month period, that meant 429 fewer people were assaulted. In a decade, that’s over 4,000 people saved from serious or lifethreatening injury.”

Mr Woods said, thanks to intervention, emergency department presentations for facial injuries inflicted by nighttime assaults fell 26%.

“But there is still a long way to go before the weakening of the conditions should be reasonably contemplated.”

The Last Drinks coalition is now calling for transparency, including the full disclosure of all submissions and presentations to the review and minister, before the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority makes a decision.

news Petition for more ferry services

The future of prostate cancer detection Calvary Mater Newcastle has developed an artificial intelligence system to help identify prostate cancer.

The machine can find more than 100 markers, invisible to the naked eye, within an MRI to differentiate between healthy and cancerous tissue.

Calvary Mater Newcastle’s chief medical physicist, John Simpson, said radiation oncology was increasingly using medical images to identify and target cancer for more accurate treatment.

“However, making the most of this imaging information is not straightforward, and this where computers can help,” he said.

“Not only can a computer process a lot of information but, unlike a human being, the computer is not limited by the human eye and can extract and analyse information within an image that is invisible to you and I.” Calvary Mater Newcastle’s research involved showing the computer several examples of MRI scans with the prostate cancer identified.

The computer then learnt how to recognise cancer from healthy tissue.

Mr Simpson said the aim was to not only help improve cancer detection, but also identify cancer characteristics associated with treatment outcomes.

Welcome to your new home...

“Knowing this type of information, it is hoped, will lead to a personalised treatment approach,” he said.

The team will now look to improve the system with the use of additional types of scans before applying what they have learned to other cancers.

Calvary Mater Newcastle’s research was made possible due to the generosity and memory of Rodney Sorenson, from Tomaree Prostate Cancer Support Group, whose valuable support allowed the Department of Radiation Oncology to undertake the pilot study.

A petition is calling on the extension of ferry services within Newcastle.

More than 200 signatures have been gathered from members of the Throsby Basin Business Chamber and Newcastle residents.

The petition urges the state government and its appointed contractor, Newcastle Transport, to consider the extension of the current ferry services, which run between Stockton and Queens Wharf, to include additional pick-up and drop-off facilities at Wickham and Carrington.

“We are grateful to our chamber members and neighbouring business owners for participating in the survey and having their views known,” Throsby Basin Business Chamber president, Clare Monkley, says.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, tabled the petition in NSW Legislative Council last week.

esponding to the needs of Australia’s ageing population, Oak Tree Group has created an expanding portfolio of 28 villages, stretching from Cairns to Hobart.

Realising a unique and undersupplied opportunity in regional locations, the Oak Tree Group made this their focus, and charged forward on what they describe as being a busy, but deeply gratifying journey.

“We are passionate about, and intrinsically linked to, regional towns and their people – I grew up in The demand for Retirement Armidale and my business partner’s Communities is strong in The Hunter family are originally from Ingham,” Valley and The Oak Tree Group aspire to meet this demand with construction said Founding and Managing Director of The Oak Tree Group Mark Bindon. of their second development in the local area at Boolaroo which is due to “All too often seniors are forced to commence soon. relocate to bigger, metro cities to get the support they need because When the Oak Tree Group was regional towns may lack the founded just over a decade ago, the infrastructure. motivation behind the brand was never to be the biggest but the best in “This not only breaks down a the field of independent senior living. community, but puts unnecessary The Group was set up with a mandate stress on the lives of our seniors who would rather stay in the places they to provide quality and affordable love and know to be home,” said retirement living options which Mr Bindon. would offer an easier, maintenance free way of life for seniors but still remain within the financial reach of the average Australian home owner.

Oak Tree Villages offer modern and purpose-built homes designed to help seniors age-in-place and

live independently well into their retirement years.

Residents of Retirement Communities may be in their senior years, but are able-bodied, living independently and in some cases, are still working.

The attraction to community living is the all-inclusive fees that are affordable, the relief from property maintenance and repairs and of course the ability to lock the door and travel without the concerns for the property that has been left behind.

Oak Tree Boolaroo will be located within the Bunderra Estate offering a boutique style community of only 61 villas of varying designs and to be built by local builder Mavid Construction.

The village will be complete with a beautifully appointed village centre and recreation facilities for residents and their guests to enjoy.

news Scheme “shortchanges” Maitland

Learning to work together A revamped library will arm Wallsend Public School students with new learning spaces and the latest technologies.

The $20,000 refurbishment, funded by a $10,000 contribution from both the Parents and Citizens’ Association (P&C) and the school, included new furniture and shelving, a fresh lick of paint, and the creation of flexible, cultural areas.

The school celebrated its new-look library at a grand opening last Thursday.

P&C president Joh Kaurijoki-White says it has been a huge community effort to complete the project.

“It’s not easy to raise funds [but] it was great to see that people, some who are struggling for whatever reason, were happy to put in for the kids and help out,” she says.

“We’re trying to get kids away from electronics, have them borrow more books, and make it a more fun and friendly environment.”

The flexible spaces include areas for group learning, quiet reflection, writing and using books and technology, sharing stories, and

Following the library’s successful upgrade, Ms Kaurijoki-White says the P&C will now host a fete in October.

“We’ve got a terrific committee here and we noticed that we can work well with the school and the Department of Education,” she says.

“Hopefully we can show other schools that it can be done.”

Maitland MP Jenny Aitchison believes her community is being “short-changed” by the state government due to a lack of Return and Earn collection points and reverse vending machines.

The city’s only over-the-counter collection points, at Tenambit Takeaway and Hotel Tudor in Woodberry, have both withdrawn from the recycling scheme. Ms Aitchison found one Return and Earn machine at Service NSW in East Maitland, however, she reported that it was a donation station and non-operational.

She said the Minister for Environment, Gabrielle Upton, needed to fast-track reverse vending machines for the Maitland electorate.

“Maitland has almost 80,000 residents and only one small donation station for the whole electorate; this is totally unacceptable,” Ms Aitchison said.

“It’s not fair for local residents as they are being left out of pocket for the increased costs they are paying.”

news Girls scout the way to World Jamboree Millions of boys and girls around the world have but three people to thank for a movement that empowers, teaches leadership skills and instills confidence.

Today (Thursday 22 February) is World Thinking Day, also known as Founders’ Day, or Baden-Powell Day, in the Scouting movement.

The date marks the shared birthday of Boy Scouts founder, UK-born Lord Robert BadenPowell, and his wife, Lady Olave Baden-Powell (nee Soames).

Lady Baden-Powell continued the great work of Lord Baden-Powell’s sister, Agnes, who helped her brother establish a similar movement for girls, which came to be known as Girl Guides.

World Thinking Day is a time for Scouts and Girl Guides from all over the world to connect with each other, take action on important issues and raise money for community projects.

Each year has a theme, and this year’s theme is ‘impact’.

Two young Scouts making an impact are Rebecca Larke and Alyssa* of Kotara Scout Group.

Both aged 14, Rebecca and Alyssa are

fundraising their way to the World Jamboree in West Virginia, USA in August 2019.

Each year, the jamboree brings together 50,000 Scouts to learn about leadership, respect and equality.

But getting to World Jamboree is no easy feat.

First, Rebecca and Alyssa had to earn specific Scout badges to be able to apply.

Then, they had to be approved by the regional group leader and recommended by their Scout group as satisfactory candidates.

What follows won’t be a walk in the park, either.

The pair must now fundraise for the trip, having started with market stalls and sausage sizzles, and a host of other activities in the pipeline – all posted to their ‘A&B to World Jamboree’ Facebook page.

“I am looking forward to meeting people from all over the world and learning about what sorts of activities their Scout groups do,” Rebecca says.

“I also can’t wait to go on the giant flying fox.”

Both Rebecca and Alyssa would like to encourage more girls to join Scouts, an organisation that provides boys and girls aged six

news Seeing red and blue Community has always been a focus of the Newcastle Knights, and last week was no different, with players kicking off the club’s Community Carnival School Blitz.

By the week’s end, more than 15 players will have visited almost 3,000 students from 20 schools across the Hunter Region to promote rugby league and deliver messages of belonging, nutrition and respect.

The carnival also encourages kids to sign up to their local football clubs and become red and blue members in the 2018 NRL season.

First cabs off the rank were Blacksmiths and Redhead public schools.

Today (Thursday 22 February), players will travel to Maitland for the second part of the school blitz.

It follows the Knights’ 2018 Community Season Launch earlier this month, which was dubbed a huge hit, with more than 3,000 members and fans flocking to the club’s home ground.

The Knights’ 2018 season kicks off on Friday 9 March with a match against the Manly Sea Eagles at McDonald Jones Stadium.

Mindfulness and medicine The power of positive thinking can help in many situations, but can it help with cancer?

Charlestown’s Hannah Perkins seems to think so.

After surviving a rare form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, the yoga and meditation instructor now teaches mindfulness classes out of the not-for-profit Kaden Centre at Tighes Hill, a new fitness and wellness centre she recently opened, for people who are fighting cancer.

Already having experienced the helpful effects of meditation and yoga during her own battle with lymphoma, Ms Perkins has formulated an eight-week course, called Mindfulness-Based Cancer Recovery, specifically tailored to patients who are receiving cancer treatment.

“As someone who has lived with a lifethreatening illness and who lives with the anxiety of it returning, I am deeply committed to living fully in the present moment,” she explained.

“Through embodiment practices such as mindfulness meditation and yoga, I help people to accept and love themselves deeply in the present moment by discovering the benefits of connection and awareness of their bodies, and

Charlestown yoga instructor Hannah Perkins survived non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

releasing negative emotions stored in the body in a compassionate way.”

Ms Perkins studied yoga as part of her healing process, in particular, a practice called Myofascial Release. A combination of physical therapy, massage and yoga, the technique involves rolling on foam rollers and balls to release knots of tension in muscle tissue.

The poses are held for three to five minutes and help release areas of built-up stress and negative feelings.

While she was in hospital receiving treatment, Ms Perkins saw first-hand the immense pressure that medical professionals were under as part of their workday.

To give back to the medical community who looked after her, Ms Perkins leads drop-in Mindful Mondays sessions for doctors and nurses at John Hunter Hospital, and runs sessions across the Hunter New England Health network.

She also teaches at The Yoga Place in Blacksmiths, Dementia Australia in Hamilton and Trigger Point Massage in South Hamilton.

A highlight of the event will be a visit from an authentic St Ayles rowing skiff. The vessel is 6.7 metres long and has seating for four rowers and a coxswain. Historically, coastal mining communities in Scotland would join up and build similar vessels to compete with other towns.

Built in Rathmines by the Lake Macquarie Classic Boat Association, this particular skiff was designed by renowned Australian wooden boat designer Ian Oughtred as part of the Scottish Coastal Rowing Project hosted by the Scottish Museum.

The aim of the project was to reconnect coastal towns with the sea and encourage the community to build their own boats and row them socially as

Paddlers on the lake.

well as in competition. Given the history of Lake Macquarie as a coastal mining town, it’s a fitting addition to the festivities.

Be sure to check out the Melon Paddle as well. Participants are invited to join in the fun by constructing their own raft that will float for 100 metres, while raising money for the Hunter Melanoma Foundation.

The event is open to all ages and abilities. To find out more, go to paddlefest.com.au - Alice Hennen

Council backs green grants Community groups, clubs and schools across Lake Macquarie are being encouraged to come up with innovative ways to reduce resource consumption, lower waste generation and improve biodiversity.

Not-for-profit community organisations can apply for funding of up to $3,000 through Lake Macquarie council’s environmental sustainability grants program.

“This program has already seen funding awarded to a variety of sustainably-focused projects in Lake Macquarie city, including rehabilitation and stabilisation of a local creek system, creation of an outdoor learning space incorporating Aboriginal cultural heritage and resource management, and the establishment of various community and school gardens across the city,” Lake Macquarie council’s manager sustainability, Alice Howe, says.

Visit the council’s website, lakemac.com.au, for more information on how to apply.

Grant applications close on Monday 12 March.

When Cohen was born prematurely his mum and dad urgently needed a safe place to stay, close to the hospital.

For a sick child sometimes the best medicine of all is having family nearby for more hugs, kisses and I love you’s.

Ronald McDonald House gave his distraught parents, a “home away from home” so they could be close to their new baby.

sport “It’s really exciting to be able to compete and train at another level,” Olsen tells Newcastle Weekly.

Poppy Olsen at Empire Skate Park, Bar Beach, ahead of the Australian Bowl-Riding Championships.

Skater’s fine balancing act Newcastle’s Poppy Olsen has built quite the resume.

At just 17 years of age, she’s already won two world titles, held the number one ranking, dabbled in artistry, and become an inspirational speaker.

Now, the professional skater will look to reach even greater heights during the Australian Bowl-Riding Championships at Empire Skate Park, Bar Beach.

The annual event, which takes place from 24 to 25 February, attracts some of the world’s best skaters.

Olsen says she’s excited to compete against such a talented field, particularly with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics edging closer.

In 2016, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced it would add skateboarding to the Games program for the first time.

GRAEME MORRIS MOTORCYCLES

A scholarship from the NSW Institute of Sport will boost her efforts to qualify for the Australian skateboarding team, while she has also been mentored by the likes of local surfing legend Layne Beachley.

“It’s a great thing to be given a helping hand in life; to have mentors, and support, both now and in the future, means a lot,” Olsen adds.

The talented teen first started skating in Bondi at the age of eight but, after moving to Newcastle almost three years ago, has since honed her skills in the Hunter. “[Empire Skate Park] has really helped me learn a lot of new things and I’ve been doing a lot more sessions there,” she says.

Apart from Olsen, another Newcastle representative, Jedd McKenzie, has been named in the pros category.

Nabbout screamer as Jets draw Winger Andrew Nabbout curled in a contender for goal of the season as the Newcastle Jets played out an entertaining 2-all draw with Western Sydney last Friday.

Just moments after conceding a second penalty to trail 2-1, Nabbout evaded two challenges and bent a shot into the top corner with the outside of his right boot.

Newcastle sits in second spot on the A-League ladder, five points clear of Melbourne City.

The Jets now face Brisbane Roar at Suncorp Stadium on Saturday 24 February. Kick-off is at 5.35pm.

Jack Jones and Rick Price.

Musical mates hit the road Rick Price and Jack Jones are more than just Australian household names, they’re great mates.

“How many people can say they’ve crawled into bed at the end of the day with Rick Price,” Jones laughs.

After a couple of months holed up together at Price’s in-home recording studio in Nashville early last year, the singing/songwriting legends will take their collaborative album, California Dreaming, to fans when they hit the road in May for a national tour.

Debuting at No.7 on the National ARIA Albums Chart when it was released in 2017, California Dreaming is reminiscent of the west-coast Californian sounds of the 1960s and 70s.

Price and Jones share a common love for the era, both equally enamoured by the likes of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, The Eagles, James Taylor, The Doors and many more.

The pair channelled this love into the album,

which came almost effortlessly.

“We sat in the kitchen and just jammed,” Jones says.

The importance of a good dynamic between musical mates is not lost on Price, either.

“That’s a big component when you’re working with people,” he says.

“Are they listening? Are they tuned in? Are they on the same frequency as you?”

As individuals, neither Price nor Jones are strangers to chart success.

In the 90s, few southern hemisphere radio stations went a day without spinning a song from Australian-born Price’s broad repertoire of eight albums. At the same time, Jones, who was born in Manhattan, New York under the birth name of Irwin Thomas, was making waves as the frontman of The Southern Sons.

Fans will be treated to songs from the breadth of Price and Jones’s careers, as well as California

Friday knight fight in a fun fantasy frolic

A group of Live-Action Role Players (LARPers) from Swordcraft Newcastle. Photo: Swordcraft Newcastle

Dungeons and Dragons is perhaps one of the most well-known fantasy role-playing games out there.

But what would happen if you could act out these characters and battle for objectives in real life?

Live-Action Role Playing, known as LARPing, is a physical enactment of fantasy characters in staged battle games.

Adam Mclardy, administrator of Swordcraft Newcastle, has been LARPing for three years.

“I was in one of the first LARP groups in Newcastle,” Adam tells Newcastle Weekly.

“Then I joined Swordcraft Newcastle as an admin because of the larger player base.”

According to Adam, LARPing is one of the largest-growing sports in the world, due to the popularity of TV shows and movies such as Game of Thrones and Lord of the Rings.

Swordcraft Newcastle currently has 450 members.

Twice a year, Swordcraft Newcastle joins up with other LARP groups for a week-long camp, which attracts around 1,000 players.

During a LARP game, two teams battle over an objective. Individuals use soft foam swords, hammers, maces or other melee weapons and wear padded armor when they clash with other players.

LARPing is similar to cosplay in that both LARPers and cosplayers dress and act as a particular character.

However, LARPers can make up their own characters from scratch, instead of playing as an existing character.

The only limit is imagination – players can fight as a knight, a pirate, a viking, or whatever their preferred character may be.

Swordcraft Newcastle has battles every Friday night from 5.30pm at Waratah Oval.

To find out more about Swordcraft Newcastle and LARPing, search ‘Swordcraft Newcastle’ on Facebook.

Thrills and spills take centre ring If the 2018 Newcastle Regional Show brings rain as it historically has, at least one group will be as happy as, well, pigs in mud.

Cyclocross joins the show centre ring this year, and it goes ahead rain, hail or shine.

Though, if you ask any one of the cyclists involved, they’ll invariably tell you the muddier it is, the better.

Cyclocross was born in Belgium as an off-season, winter alternative to road racing.

It’s best described as cross country cycling on a road bike.

The type of bike sets cyclocross apart from mountain biking: the former uses a rigid bike with smaller wheels, while the latter requires one with sturdy suspension.

A surprising 10% of the cyclocross sport involves running, as it’s a lot tougher to ride through grass than on the road, and cyclists often have to jump off their bikes

and carry them through obstacles like steps, hills and slippery descents.

Cyclocross is starting to gain momentum in Australia, and the Hunter Region.

In 2013 Cyclocross Newcastle was established, at which point the organisation approached the Hunter District Cycling Club in the hope of getting cyclocross events off the ground.

Today, Cyclocross Newcastle hosts three events a year – part of a statewide series – and cyclists travel from all over to compete.

It was Hunter District Cycling Club legend and Hunter Academy of Sport Hall of Fame inductee, Craig Chapman, who approached Cyclocross Newcastle coordinator, Shaun Jeffrey, about bringing cycling back to the Newcastle show.

Cycling was part of the original show program, and some Hunter cyclists will tell you some of their

best thrills and spills happened at the showground, but in 2018, it returns in this new, hybrid form.

Two races will take place in the centre ring after the show’s official opening ceremony on Friday 2 March.

The first, at 6.30pm, will run for 20 minutes and showcase the talent of B-grade male and female cyclists, while the second, at 7pm, stars A-grade male and female cyclists and will run for 25 minutes.

Both will feature a Le Mansstyle start, where cyclists must lay down their bikes at the starting line, and run toward them from a 50 or 100-metre distance when the siren sounds.

Among the competitors will be 27-year-old Matthew Lee, of Speers Point, and 17-year-old Lucie Fityus, of New Lambton.

Both Lee and Fityus are Hunter District Cycling Club members, and

cover story

are excited to be part of a new beginning for cyclocross and for the show.

“It’s such a small sport in Australia, so it’s good to get it out there gaining popularity,” Lee told Newcastle Weekly.

As well as family favourites such as rides, showbags and exhibits, there are a number of new additions to this year’s show.

These include a rodeo on the Saturday night, with all the excitement of barrel racing, steer and bull riding, followed by a country music concert.

The 2018 Newcastle Regional Show will be held from Friday 2 March to Sunday 4 March at Newcastle Showground.

Grant to support public artworks

The Murray family has been farming the land along the Darling River for five generations.

For Tom Murray, it’s all he has ever known.

When his childhood friends Lucy and Billy reappear, deep friendships are tested, and secrets, long buried, are finally awakened.

Tom must make the long journey downstream to reconcile past wrongs and to fight for his wife.

From the multi award-winning screenwriter of Last Cab to Darwin comes a thrilling new Australian drama.

Reg Cribb’s latest play, Thomas Murray and the Upside Down River, will screen at Cessnock Performing Arts Centre on Tuesday 6 March at 8pm.

This production has been compared to a psychological thriller, in that you don’t realise you haven’t blinked until the lights come up.

The final act is thrilling, almost cinematic, bringing the bubbling tensions to a head in a thoroughly cathartic manner.

An array of new public artworks will be created along the Lake Macquarie foreshore following a significant financial contribution from the state government.

Lake Macquarie MP Greg Piper announced this week that Lake Macquarie council would receive a grant of $285,800 to support the $571,600 project.

“I’m delighted to announce funding to support this fantastic project, which will see the engagement of seven artists to design and manufacture art installations,” Mr Piper said.

“This work will help to create new and exciting experiences in Lake Macquarie for locals and visitors, and also support the creation of a new full-time position at council supporting professional cultural development.

“Artworks are planned for sites at Toronto, Warners Bay, Speers Point, Croudace Bay and Belmont North, so it’s a great project for the whole area.”

The grant was awarded through the 2017/18 round of the Tourism Demand-Driver Infrastructure (TDDI) program, a federally-funded initiative administered by the state government.

time out Gallery’s calibre sets it apart

Fine Arts & Crafts

Finite Gallery is well known for its kids’ and adults’ art classes, but equally as distinguishing is the high-calibre art that adorns its walls.

From students to prize-winning, established artists, the Caves Beach gallery aims to promote a diverse cross-section of artists and cater to every budget.

“For the students, it’s nice to have one or two artworks hung among those of other, more well-known artists,” Finite Gallery owner Leslie Duffin said.

Inside the more elite circle of artists is the likes of Lezlie Tilley, John Barnes, John Earle and Anne Gazzard.

Tilley’s current works, on display now at the gallery, involve a variety of colour and alternative processes.

For Traces from a Mayfield Garden, Tilley used pressed flowers on cedarwood to create an acrylic artwork reminiscent of family traditions and memories.

Barnes, Earle and Gazzard all have different niches, mainly in painting and ceramics.

In between hosting art classes on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and running the gallery, Duffin seizes what little spare time she has to cultivate her own career as a painter.

Duffin was one of 10 finalists in the Newcastle Club’s Foundation Art Prize last year, for her work, Sunset from Strzlecki.

in the garden Plants with street appeal

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

Houses are selling quickly – some visited by ‘the style fairies’ to have their interiors freshened.

I find that although some potted plants are added, it is too late to cover fences or add privacy with trees and hedges that need several years’ growth to give the garden maturity.

While potential buyers focus on kitchens, bathrooms and the number of bedrooms, Aussies are known for their love of the great outdoors, so it pays to give these areas some TLC. If an area needs to be privatised quickly and it is too late to achieve growth from plants, use a timber screen or one of the new decorative metal panels, and highlight with a long planter box filled with a quickgrowing climber such as mandavilla or dipladenia.

Group pots together in courtyards and on decks and patios.

YEAR GURANTEE

THE DREAM DOORS ADVANTAGE 1 - LOW COST

2 - HUGE RANGE

3 - LESS HASSLE

4 - LOCAL

Pay a fraction of the cost of a new kitchen by keeping your existing cabinetry, but adding the features and design of a brand new kitchen.

Make sure the pots match; if not, whip out the paint, using different pot sizes for effect. Add a sculptured fig, underplanted with white annuals, at the front door for fresh appeal.

THIS WEEK • The rain has finally arrived; if it continues, fertilise lawns lightly and feed gardens pellet food.

• If summer annuals are drooping in the heat, dig out and stimulate the soil with cow manure.

• It’s far too early to plant out pansies – wait until March.

Choose from a huge range of the latest door styles and colours, handles and benchtops. From pull out pantries, to corner drawer systems, we have you covered.

You won’t suffer the stress, mess and upheaval that comes with a new kitchen.

All doors and cabinets are made to measure by Australian manufacturers, with a 10-year warranty.

PICK OF THE WEEK Madagascar 3 Friday, GO!, 6pm, PG (2012) Alex (Ben Stiller), Marty, Melman and Gloria are back in the rollicking and slightly psychedelic spectacle that is Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted. Homesick, the city slicker animals decide to leave Africa and make their way back to New York. Pursued by the delightfully villainous animal control officer Capitaine Chantel DuBois (Frances McDormand), they embark on a madcap chase through Europe, where they join up with a travelling circus full of colourful new characters.

Friday

Carol

Silver Linings Playbook Saturday, GEM, 9pm, M (2012) Pat (Bradley Cooper) is down on his luck to say the least. After spending time in a mental health facility, losing his wife and his house, he’s living back with his parents (Jacki Weaver and Robert De Niro) and trying to get his life back on track.

When he meets the equally messed up Tiffany (Oscar-winner Jennifer Lawrence, pictured), his clear plan to win back his wife gets complicated.

To say this film is a mere romantic comedy is to do it a great disservice. It is sweet, yes, but also moving, heartbreaking and bitingly funny.

Monday, SBS VLND, 10.15pm, M (2015) In this complex human story about unspoken desire and social expectations, based on an ahead-of-its time lesbian novel by Patricia Highsmith, two women from very different backgrounds are drawn together in a tale of unlikely romance. It’s the 1950s and Rooney Mara is Therese, a salesperson working in a department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett, pictured), a glamorous, older woman trapped in a loveless marriage.

Blanchett and Mara are superb in the lead roles.

Some of Dakota’s relationships and friendships will pass their use-by date and may need to be released. She must be careful of letting disagreements get in the way of friendships or she will only succeed in pushing them out of her life. This is the perfect year to end conflicts and to bolster romance. Because she is generally healthy and able to work at a more intense pace, she will make great advances in her career this year.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

You can make positive changes to improve your life as the Sun sextiles Uranus; this aspect gives freedom of choice, with exciting new ideas and technologies to give you a happier, healthier and more enjoyable life.

This is going to be a very busy and rather restless time for you.

Work will be important and you could find that either your normal job becomes more interesting or you make a change to something new and highly satisfying. You will fall into a sensible routine and find yourself establishing good work habits.

You could be confused as to why someone has given you what you thought was the green light emotionally only to pull the plug at the 11th hour. Avoid sending messages so you don’t seem too needy. Back off a bit; if that doesn’t work, move on to greener pastures.

Jupiter puts you in a business like mood and any routine work will be accomplished with ease, as you will be thinking happy thoughts and dreaming about the future. Nothing wrong in that as long as you get your tasks done.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

Your home circumstances are going to play a major role in coming weeks, such as a move of house, renovations or buying new furniture and fittings. Feelings of family loyalty will strengthen and you might spend some time researching your ancestry. The Sun brings clarity regarding relationships.

Mars is in your 5th house increasing your involvement with children and younger people. You will enjoy a more youthful attitude, possibly joining in sporting activities or indulging your creativity. Be careful that you don’t borrow money without thinking deeply about how you will pay it back.

With the Sun moving through your domestic sphere it’s time to make some changes, such as renovations or a change of address. Family life is sure to take centre stage. You will relish being the matriarch/patriarch and feel content giving loved ones guidance and support.

You will make changes that will set the pattern of your life for coming years. If you’ve been experimenting with relationships in recent years, you may settle into marriage. You might also make a fresh commitment to your job or change to one that will stand you in good stead.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 23

Mars is in your 7th house indicating your emotions will be strong and could cause you to overreact. You’ll find it hard to remain objective and will be surprised by the behaviour of your loved ones. Now is the time to stand up for what you believe in.

This is a wonderful time for delving into family history or for feeling nostalgic; perhaps an old photograph triggers memories of happy times. If one of your resolutions was to explore your creative talents, it’s full steam ahead!

It’s full steam ahead and although you crave excitement, it’s not going to be easy to enjoy all the social invitations offered, as work and duty must come first. While you have a high level of energy and assertiveness, it’s important not to create a backlash from others.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20 This is a time to establish good work habits and you will find reliable colleagues to work alongside. All this talk of duty may seem dull, but the resulting rewards will make it worthwhile. Writing pursuits should work out well, especially if they involve specialised research and analysis.

Lambie publishes raw autobiography Outspoken, unexpected and refreshingly honest: this is the candid memoir of Jacquie Lambie.

On 14 November 2017, Lambie resigned from the Australian senate after it was confirmed she was a dual national by descent. But Lambie’s autobiography, Rebel with a Cause, is anything but political. It’s the story of her life as an ordinary working-class girl from Tasmania, and her journey through the army, her battles with addiction and depression, raising two boys as a single mother, and much more.

Novocastrians will have the chance to meet Lambie at a book signing at NEX Newcastle on Sunday 25 February at 3pm. Tickets available via eventbrite.

Newcastle Weekly has two, $100 Bedhead Hats vouchers to give away.

Newcastle Weekly has four copies of Rebel with a Cause to give away.

To enter, email competitions@newcastleweekly.com.au with Bedhead Hats in the subject line. Tell us your name, full contact details and what you look for in the perfect hat. Entries close and winners drawn at 9am on Friday 2 March. One entry per person.

Permit No. LTPM-16-00488.

My favourite things My TRIBE Some people make you laugh a little louder, your smile a little bigger and your life a little easier. I call them my tribe – my husband, children, family and friends.

My wORK I am a speech pathologist with more than 13 years of experience working with young children.

There is nothing more rewarding than helping to grow a child’s communication skills. I am so proud of the work I do and of my private speech pathology practice.

FIREwORKS with absolutely no bias, Newcastle Regional Show has THE best fireworks that I have ever experienced! Standing in the grandstand, you can feel the explosions in your chest.

My COMMUNITy – NEwCASTLE AND LAKE MACQUARIE I was born and raised in Adelaide and have been living in Lake Macquarie for more than 15 years. Newcastle and Lake Macquarie are as unique and beautiful as the people who live here. I can’t think of a better place to live, work and play.

Lauren Haskins

NEwCASTLE A, H & I ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT
