thursday 01 march 2018

This week... From the editor We all want to feel like we’re a part of something bigger. For me, that feeling came last Friday, when I visited Newcastle Weekly’s big sister, Canberra Weekly. CW celebrates its ninth birthday this month, so, suffice to say, our Canberran colleagues have been around the block a few times. While the Newcastle and greater Hunter communities are different to those in the capital, we have much to learn from CW’s successes, milestones – even failures. The truth is, it’s all a learning curve, and both magazines strive to serve our communities in the best way we know how. Meeting the Canberra team allowed me to see how Newcastle Weekly fits into the bigger picture, and what we can aspire to grow to. Even as I explored the capital with my partner, Luke, over the weekend, I loved seeing people pick up the Canberra Weekly, because their successes are our successes, and vice versa. The fi nal fuzzy feeling hit me at Canberra Airport, on the way home. I struck up a conversation with the man serving me at the food counter. I couldn’t help but smile when I learned he was an avid reader of Canberra Weekly, and, as a born Novocastrian, of Newcastle Weekly, too!

news Researcher revels in life-saving role She’s been leading the charge on breast cancer research for more than a decade. As we prepare to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March, it’s a chance to recognise Dr Janine Lombard’s outstanding achievements. Dr Lombard, a Newcastle-based medical oncologist, has been heavily involved with the Breast Cancer Trials group since 2006. In her role, she’s strived to improve outcomes and reduce toxicities of treatments for women with breast cancer. “We’re hoping the research we do helps with the survival and quality of life for women,” Dr Lombard says. “There’s also work in prevention and a real focus on looking at treatments that can reduce side effects.”

Dr Lombard says the Breast Cancer Trials group participates in important international studies while also conducting its own homegrown research. The organisation, which is based in the Hunter Region, boasts several world-leading breast cancer doctors and researchers from both Australia and New Zealand. “[Breast Cancer Trials] has had its roots here in the Hunter from 40 years ago, which is amazing for a regional area,” Dr Lombard says. “It is a huge organisation now that includes about 90 different institutions, hospitals, and academic units.” Two of the group’s major research developments include establishing the roles of Herceptin and Tamoxifen. The former is used as a treatment for women with a certain sub-type

of breast cancer, while Tamoxifen can act as a preventative measure for those at risk of developing the illness, as well as in early and advanced breast cancer. Both have saved countless lives across the globe. “There’s been a fantastic reduction – about a third – in the rates of deaths in the past two to three decades,” Dr Lombard says. “We’re starting to understand breast cancer much better; it’s not just one illness, there are many different sub-types. “So, we can be much more precise about what type of medication we use.” Despite the progress, Dr Lombard is determined to maintain women’s quality of life by reducing side effects to treatment. For example, she says research has discovered ways to preserve

news Firefighters lauded for heroic rescue It’s a tale of luck, quick-thinking and heroic actions. The aftermath saw two Newcastle firefighters receive prestigious medals. One of them, Damien Parker, sat behind the wheel of a support vehicle on 9 January 2017 when a panic-stricken woman suddenly ran him off the road. “She was telling me to pull over and was yelling that her husband was having a heart attack,” Mr Parker told Newcastle Weekly. After finding the man semi-conscious, Mr Parker used his radio to call for a defibrillator before starting CPR. His attempts to resuscitate proved futile, so he looked to move the male out of the car and onto the grass at Lookout Road, near John Hunter Hospital. By this point, fellow firefighter,

Brad Dives, had arrived with the defibrillator. “He was a big guy in a little car,” Mr Parker said. “We tried to lift him over the guardrail; some joggers came past and helped put him down on the grass, where we started working on him.” Off-duty doctors and nurses also came to assist until the ambulance arrived. It appeared as though their collective efforts may have been in vain but, thankfully, the man eventually recovered in hospital. “The ambulance said he was down for about 20 minutes,” Mr Parker said. “He had a slow recovery, which included short-term memory loss for about a year. “But I had a big talk with him recently – he’s such a nice guy, and

very intelligent.” Now, 12 months on, the two firefighters have been acknowledged alongside 29 other Australians at the Victor Chang Heart of Gold awards. The awards recognise members of the community who go above and beyond to try and save the life of someone suffering a heart attack or cardiac arrest. Mr Dives said he was simply doing his job. “A lot of people rotated and helped out; if we didn’t do what we did, he would’ve been dead,” he said. “It was a happy outcome, which is all we were worried about.” Mr Dives added that a third firefighter, Newcastle station commander Adrian Sutherland, also played a crucial role during the incident. - Ben Murphy

Tech donation helps refugees A laptop is an everyday item most of us take for granted. But, for some, particularly those starting from a scratch, it’s a luxury one simply can’t afford. Thanks to a generous donation from Mine Super to Hamilton-based non-profit Northern Settlement Services, 10 fewer refugees have to find the money for a laptop. The superannuation fund donated the refurbished computers to the organisation, which helps refugees settle in the area, and provides aged care and immigration services as well as multicultural family support. One of the recipients, 21-year-old Azim Rasoli, said he was over the moon when he learned he would receive one. “Laptops are so expensive, and there was no way I could afford one by myself at the moment,” he said. “Hearing that Mine Super were going to give me one was a huge burden off my shoulders.” Azim fled war-torn Afghanistan in 2013 and spent years in limbo before being granted a humanitarian

He plans to use his new laptop for his nursing studies at the University of Newcastle. “I feel like I’m the luckiest person in the world,” he said. “It’s such a privilege that I’ve got the opportunity to come here. “To be able to do university as well is a dream come true.” Member for Newcastle, Sharon Claydon, said the donation would make a positive difference to those who were “starting from scratch in a new country”.

People caught breaking the law in school zones will face heftier fines under seven rule changes that are now in effect. The state government’s decision has resulted in increased penalties for several offences, some by up to $150. Cessnock City Council’s ranger team leader, Kurt Livens, says the move is aimed at putting pedestrian safety first. “School zones get particularly busy in peak drop-off and pick-up periods, and people parking illegally put not only children at risk, but every pedestrian at risk of being involved in an accident,” he says. All drivers are warned that stopping or parking on a footpath or nature strip will result in a fine of $257. Drivers are also reminded that they must park their vehicle in the direction of travel to avoid a $330 infringement notice. For more information on the changes, visit rms.nsw.gov.au

Roundtable tackles region’s rising housing costs living in rental accommodation are experiencing housing stress.” Cr Nelmes added that affordable living was not solely the concern of low-income earners. “Research shows that families on moderate incomes are also susceptible to financial struggle due to the rising cost of housing,” she said. “These households are often caught in the middle; they earn too much to qualify for social housing, but they can’t afford to buy a home for themselves.” The forum also looked at the possibility of supporting “inclusionary zoning” in parts of Newcastle, where developers set aside a percentage of floor space for affordable housing, and financial incentives.

Newcastle is a city with a sense of fun, but there’s also a great sense of pride among the people who live here.

We’re creating a smart city to carry us into a new era of connected technology and digital interaction.

The comparison to landmark international cities is less far-fetched than it was just a few years ago.

In this regard we are absolutely at the front of the pack of Australian cities and towns.

Our transformation is everywhere to be seen. More than $1billion worth of development is under way in the CBD and we’re investing more than ever before in improvements across the whole city.

We want people to think about the bigger picture for Newcastle. To think about a better life for generations to come. Together, let’s dream big.

The growing cost of living in the Hunter Region has been brought to the table. An Affordable Living Round Table, hosted by Newcastle council last week, featured regional leaders in business, the property industry, welfare organisations, education, and politics. Lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes said the forum discussed issues and ideas raised in Newcastle council’s draft Affordable Living Plan 2017. “The plan identifies the challenges people in Newcastle face when it comes to housing affordability and other living costs that drain the budget,” she said. “It’s a particularly pressing issue for our city – our wages are below the NSW average and almost 60% of low-income households

cover story Scholars humbled by honour Three exceptional researchers from the University of Newcastle have been recognised as inspiring leaders in their fields. PhD candidates Emma Austin, Emmalee Ford and Fleur Lankesheer received Australia Day Honours from the National Council of Women (NCW) of NSW at Parliament House, Sydney. The annual celebration acknowledges talented young females from a range of backgrounds and research fields as part of the council’s commitment to social justice and women’s welfare. Ms Austin is a member of Newcastle university’s Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health and Centre for Water, Climate and Land. Her research investigates the links between drought and mental health and wellbeing in rural Australia. She says it focuses on people’s capacity to adapt to future droughts – a significant concern given the potential for increased frequency and duration of drought as a result of climate change. “It started as a research assignment when

I was working in a regional community in Victoria,” Ms Austin says. “I was gathering climate information that was relatable to farmers and other land users, and I became aware of how people in these communities have so much resilience. “So, I wanted to learn more about that.” Fellow researcher, Ms Ford, works in medical biochemistry. The first in her family to attend university, Ms Ford started her undergraduate degree in secondary teaching and science. “I thought that I wasn’t capable of doing a straight science [degree],” she says. “But I was taken by it; I loved it so much and worked really hard to get into it.” Ms Ford now hopes to inspire the next generation of women who are looking to pursue a career in science through her various roles in volunteering and communication. The third recipient, Ms Lankesheer, has delved into women’s history, with a focus on the wine industry.

University of Newcastle PhD candidates Fleur Lankesheer, Emmalee Ford and Emma Austin.

Her latest research investigates the impact of British women on the port wine industry in Portugal during the 18th and 19th centuries. Ms Lankesheer says her work aims to promote an understanding of the historical contribution by women to the industry in Australia and around the world. This, she hopes, will “inspire more women today to enter or remain in the industry”. In total, 12 women from across the state were acknowledged at the special ceremony. - Ben Murphy

news Students schooled in surf safety If you grew up on the coast, the ability to swim safely is probably second nature. But for those who live inland, or who come across the seas, the sight of water can be a little more daunting. Last Thursday at Dixon Park Beach, with the support of local McDonald’s operators, Hunter Surf Life Saving offered 60 international and country students from the University of Newcastle a crash course in surf safety. The lesson provided valuable tips, such as the ‘swim between the redand-yellow flags’ warning we’ve all come to know. Hunter Surf Life Saving chief

executive officer, Rhonda Scruton, said the program equipped people who had very little knowledge of the surf with an understanding of the dangers, the importance of signs, and basic beach safety.

Story correction In the article Mindfulness and medicine (Thursday 22 February 2018, page 19), it was incorrectly stated that Hannah Perkins formulated MindfulnessBased Cancer Recovery. She is, in fact, a facilitator of the course. Ms Perkins also did not establish the Kaden Centre; she is going to teach yoga there.

Lake Macquarie Classic Boat Association members launch Catalina, a 22-foot Scottish skiff.

Aye aye, captain It’s the first of its kind to be built in New South Wales, and the 14th in Australia. The men and women of the Lake Macquarie Classic Boat Association (LMCBA) spared no effort in building a 22-foot St Ayles Skiff, putting in 1,200 hours of work in 18 months. The four-oared rowing boat, named Catalina, was designed by Australian Iain Oughtred and inspired by the traditional Fair Isle skiff of Scotland. The boat’s hull and frames were made with

clinker plywood. She is crewed by four sweep rowers with a coxswain. The boat’s design was commissioned by The Scottish Fisheries Museum in 2009 as a vessel for use in the Scottish Coastal Rowing Project. The LMCBA bought the assembly kit - suitable for construction by community groups and amateur boaters - with the help of a federal Stronger Communities Programme grant. The association funded additional materials. Lake Macquarie Classic Boat Association president Bill Coote said, at the boat’s launch last week, members wanted the boat to be a community asset for everyone to enjoy. The skiff will be in action at Lakefest this weekend, in the St Ayles Skiff Row from Rathmines to Toronto on Saturday 3 March, and Toronto to Speers Point on Sunday 4 March. In keeping with the association’s community focus, Mr Coote also announced a partnership with Lifeline Hunter Central Coast, which will see urgently-needed funds raised for local suicide prevention services. For more information on the LMCBA, which builds, restores and repairs mostly wooden boats and organises the annual Boatfest event, visit classicboatassociation.org.au

Bushfire-prone areas updated A new map shows updated areas of Lake Macquarie where bushfire risk may need to be assessed as part of planning and building applications. The latest Bushfire Prone Land Map has altered the bushfire rating for many properties across the city. Due to changes in vegetation cover and management, about 14,000 properties are no longer considered bushfire-prone, while around 1,500 properties have been newly identified as being at risk of bushfire. Development on land prone to bushfire requires a Bushfire Risk Assessment, and construction may need to meet higher standards to protect residents and their properties. Bushfire-prone land maps are updated periodically by Lake Macquarie council. For more information, go to lakemac.com.au

Wrights shine at Surfest Grim conditions were outshone by incredible performances as Newcastle’s iconic Surfest wrapped up in style at the weekend. In the 2018 Burton Automotive Pro final, Australian Mikey Wright’s dominant display saw him added to the winner’s list. Wright posted dual nine-pointrange rides to record a combined total of 18.20 – enough to fend off a strong challenge from 17-year-old Hawaiian Barron Mamiya. It’s been a perfect start to the year for Wright as he looks to qualify for the 2019 Championship Tour and join siblings, Owen and Tyler, on the elite Dream Tour. In an impressive weekend for the Wright family, Tyler claimed second spot in the Grandstand Sports Clinic Women’s Pro behind Hawaiian crowd

After electing to surf a bank 50 metres north of Ho, the reigning twotime world champion, Wright, never really got started in her heat, riding six waves before locking in anything over a five-point ride. However, the eventual champion, Ho, left the door open, failing to capitalise on early scoring rides. Both girls were kept busy, riding a total of 29 waves between them.

Schneider invokes girl power Women are worth singing about, says six-time Golden Guitar winner Melinda Schneider. “Think about all the things that women go through,” she tells Newcastle Weekly. Five years ago, Schneider became a first-time mum at the age of 40 to son Sullivan. “I feel that I’m a lot more wellrounded now,” she says. “I’ve always written about and sung about these things, and now I’m experiencing them.” Schneider’s next album, which fans can expect later this year, will be a tribute to women everywhere. “I just think it’s the right time for it, with everything that’s going on in the world,” she says. But not before she hits the road to perform Great Women of Country a few more times with the most special of female guests, her mum, Mary. Released in 2014, Great Women of Country was a collaborative project

between Schneider and fellow country music singer-songwriter, Beccy Cole. The dynamic duo embarked on a national tour the next year, delivering the new album live in full. While Cole takes five to focus on her new solo project and book, Schneider continues to “wave the flag” for Great Women of Country. Featuring 22 classic country tunes, the concert pays heartfelt homage to the songs, songwriters and singers who have shaped her. Audiences can look forward to beautiful renditions of timeless hits such as Tammy Wynette’s Stand By Your Man and D.I.V.O.R.C.E; Linda Ronstadt’s Blue Bayou; Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You and 9 to 5, plus many more. Melinda Schneider performs Great Women of Country at Wests New Lambton on Friday 23 March. Phone 4935 1200 or visit westsnewcastle.com. au for tickets. - Georgia Osland

Enter to WIN Newcastle Weekly has three double passes to Melinda Schneider’s concert at Wests New Lambton to give away.

Autumn tips and tricks

Why Replace It? Raise It!

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

It is an ideal time to feed citrus during March as the temperature should start to drop. Fertilise ground-grown citrus with poultry manure, watering first. Apply under the drip line, then water to soak in. Apply citrus food two weeks later using the same method. Never use citrus fertiliser on potted plants. This will cause defoliation. Use a slow-release product. Re-pot houseplants before the colder weather sets in. Apply a slowrelease fertiliser, topping up the soil level with peat moss. Spring annuals are now available, but it is still too warm to plant out pansies, stock and primula. Prepare garden beds by digging in poultry manure and an all-purpose plant food.

Autumn is an important period on the gardening calendar. I’m breathing a sigh of relief – as are all gardeners – as we begin to repair the ravages of summer, which this year was unpredictable with high temperatures. Forty-degree temperatures and low humidity burnt plants that would normally survive our summer heat. My garden is a perfect example; lillypillies planted in total shade with the tips of the leaves burnt by heat, not sun. Magnolia Little Gem, planted 12 years ago, look like someone has taken to them with a blowtorch. Box hedge, roses and catalpas will require a lot of TLC during autumn to restore them to their former glory. Apply lime to lawns to sweeten the soil and water Seasol through to the roots to encourage growth decimated by lawn grubs. Citrus require lots of care, having been attacked by citrus leaf miner, which causes new growth to curl. Prune this damaged growth.

PICK OF THE WEEK Still Alice Saturday, SBS VLND, 8.30pm (2014) How would you cope if your previously robust brain turned against you? That’s the awful reality confronting university professor Alice Howland (Julianne Moore, pictured) when she begins to suffer from the symptoms of early-onset Alzheimer’s. Worse still, hers is the hereditary type, so it comes with the added worry she may have passed it on to her three children (Kate Bosworth, Hunter Parrish and Kristen Stewart). An intimate, compassionate study of the all-torapid decline of a once-brilliant mind.

Friday

Star Trek

What Maisie Knew Saturday, SBS VLND, 10.20pm, M (2012) The collapse of a marriage is seen from a child’s perspective, as seven-year-old Maisie (a brilliant Onata Aprile) is merely a pawn and onlooker as parents Susanna (a sharp Julianne Moore), a musician, and Beale (Steve Coogan, pictured), an art dealer, endlessly bicker, divorce then quickly remarry in their emotional tugof-war. Alexander Skarsgard (True Blood) and Joanna Vanderham star as the new spouses, who ironically seem to be the ones who have Maisie’s best interests at heart.

Tuesday, ELEVEN, 8.30pm, M (2009) Director J.J. Abrams’ (Lost, Star Wars: The Force Awakens) decision to boldly go where no Star Trek ﬁlm has gone before – a reboot focusing on the origins of characters such as Captain James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and Mr Spock (Zachary Quinto, pictured) – did not initially sit well with Trekkies. But few hardcore fans are likely to miss Abrams’ effort, in which the USS Enterprise recruits must ﬁnd a way to stop an evil being whose mission of vengeance threatens mankind. A slick and entertaining adventure.

WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

With caution, discernment and ambition, Jessica’s discipline and farsightedness will help her achieve great things this year. She will discover many new things about herself, and learn just how strong she really is. Work will overshadow her personal life. Whilst becoming a workaholic brings great rewards, her loved ones will not take too kindly to her working 100 hours a week. Jessica needs to make time to enjoy the company of her friends and loved ones, as it will give her the peace of mind she is looking for.

ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

You feel as if it’s back to basics in an important relationship; in some ways you’re approaching the end of a long journey in deciding what really matters to you. If this stirs up a certain restlessness then so be it; there’s a strengthening of important ties in compensation.

You’ll be the centre of attention and while it’s unlikely you’ll lose your sense of perspective or humour, there’s no denying it’s nice when someone you fancy shows special interest. Recent difficulties are largely resolved to your satisfaction, the only flaw being the lingering judgmental air of someone close.

Quick, intuitive Libra can also be something of a loner, but with so many planets in your 7th house, you’ll find it helpful to join forces to achieve progress in an important objective. The close levels of intimacy you have experienced recently will be repeated.

Listen to your dreams and intuitions and trust your intuitive self. Mars in Sagittarius prompts you to deal with the consequences of events long ago. You may feel unfairly criticised, but don’t take it too seriously. In particular don’t let an antagonist see that it has touched a nerve.

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

Your serious side is sometimes hidden, but intensity of purpose is one of your abiding principles and it comes to the fore this month. Take care not to cause unnecessary alarm by blurting out your feelings all at once. Hasten slowly, as someone once wisely said.

Your natural love of all things beautiful can affect your emotional life; sometimes revealing the true value beneath the surface of others, sometimes unfortunately leading you to mistake the unreal for the real. Take care at this time not to leave yourself open to hurt by trusting someone too readily.

Your intimate life may seem like a rollercoaster ride at the moment but the Bull is resilient to these sorts of changes; you’re even a bit of an emotional thrill-seeker. If you’re in the early stages of a romance, ask yourself if you’re the cause of any uncertainty.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE You might’ve been a tad distracted recently, even somewhat selfobsessed. If someone has become distant, look to yourself for the answer and take time to open up communication channels. Venus in Aries indicates an outing with a friend will provide the perfect opportunity to renew closeness.

The Sun is in your 8th house and a power play of some sort is likely. Sometimes you like to generate uncertainty just for fun. Avoid biting off more than you can chew in an intimate relationship; while secrets can add spice, they can also cause hurt if things get out of control.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

You’ve come a long way in a fairly short time on the emotional front, so give yourself a breather. Enjoy your social life and look forward to an invitation from an unlikely source. The progress of Venus into Aries emphasises passion and romance and not just for single Virgos.

Mars is in your own sign and warns you not to let yourself be drawn into conflict about things that don’t really matter. You often can’t help expressing an opinion (yes, the Archer does have an ego) but draw on your reserves of tact if friends and family are getting overheated.

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR You’re likely to be given thoughtful gifts which will set the scene for better things to come. Singles, a tantalising attraction could intensify. Good deals financially will please you and a beautiful new possession will add to your happiness.

Mark Tinson

GUITARS I have a collection of old Gretsch and Fender guitars, and a bunch of cheap, quirky stuff – an old early-‘60s Eko with blue sparkle and mother-of-toiletseat finish, and some Jerry Jones guitars from Nashville made of Masonite.

ROCK MUSICIAN, SONGWRITER AND EDUCATOR

He’s been there, done that – but Mark Tinson keeps coming back for more. A respected icon within Newcastle’s music scene, Mark has toured the length and breadth of Australia in his roles as a performer and songwriter over the past 50 years. Born in Maitland, Mark’s initial claim to fame came from a hit he wrote in 1976 called Too Much Rock and Roll, which was performed by his glam-rock band Rabbit. His next band, The Heroes, gained notoriety when they unwittingly became involved in the Star Hotel riot three years later. Mark went on to work with several other groups and, as a record producer and sound engineer, he’s mentored the likes of Silverchair, Screaming Jets, plus many other aspiring Novocastrian musicians. 58
