Newcastle Weekly contents

thursday 12 april 2018

This week... From the editor I love when a visitor comes to town and you’re forced to see a city through a tourist’s eyes. What makes Newcastle, Newcastle? How best to show it off? What mustn’t an out-of-towner leave without seeing? There’s a lot of ground to cover in Newcastle, but I was up for the challenge when my younger cousin, Ruby, visited from Western Australia last weekend.

Clubs tackle illegal drugs Push to show united front

Earlier in the week I was thrilled to attend Spiegeltent Newcastle’s 2018 season-headlining show, Blanc de Blanc, in Civic Park. I've caught a few of these circus-cabaret-burlesque shows now, and they just keep getting better and better. There’s always something happening in Newcastle and the Hunter – you only have to look as far as this week’s cover. Hunter Drama is in the spotlight with its fi rst touring production, Aladdin Jr. It’s “a whole new world” for the youth theatre company. Story on page 29. - Georgia Osland

news Council’s bid to dump wasteful attitudes Lake Macquarie MP Greg Piper says he is not a fan of the “Big Brother” approach, but will make an exception when it comes to illegal dumping. A $71,615 grant, made available under the NSW Environment Protection Authority’s ‘Waste Less, Recycle More’ initiative, has been handed to Lake Macquarie council to bolster its fight against dumpers. The funds will help expand an illegal dumping prevention program, while four new hotspots – Wyee, Awaba, Glendale and Brightwaters – are set to be targeted. Lake Macquarie MP Greg Piper is pleased the council’s application has been successful for a fifth straight year. “Since I’ve been in office, one of the most frustrating things has been to see the disregard for council

bushland and the community as well,” he says. “It is only a few people but it’s a really disgraceful action; we don’t seem to be able to deal with it just by education and positive programs. “So, there needs to be the ability to enforce [the law], and this grant allows council to do it better.” Mr Piper says that, while there’s no magical solution to illegal dumping, the grant is part of an ongoing response. “The message is that the technology to catch them is getting better and better and cheaper and cheaper,” he says. “I’m not keen on Big Brother approaches but, in this case, I think it’s necessary.” Mr Piper believes councils will have a much higher use of drones in

the future and adds that discreetlydeployed CCTV has been getting results. But he says one of the most effective solutions will be a change in the community’s attitude, particularly in relation to tip fees. “People used to dump their rubbish before waste levies – it’s a very nebulous argument,” he says.

“The waste levy is supposed to provide an incentive not to produce waste. “We need to work on changing community attitudes – yes, there is a cost but, as a society, we produce a lot of waste.” Visit epa.nsw.gov.au for more information. - Ben Murphy

Wallsend Manor Aged Care opens providing more options Wallsend Manor Aged Care opened on Wednesday, 4th April and is superb! The local community now has a brand new aged care home that offers seniors with accommodation, care and support if they are no longer able to stay in their own place. Located at 8 McNaughton Ave, Wallsend, the project has taken approximately 18 months to complete. It can accommodate up to 91 residents once fully operational. The stylish two-storey home is elegant and homely. It has been carefully designed to take in the outdoors and natural light. There are communal sitting areas with bi-fold doors that open out to a landscaped courtyard or terraces. The high ceilings and large glass windows help create a sense of openness, space and flow through the home. Some residential rooms have a balcony or patio to enjoy the fresh air and sun. The home includes a coffee hub, an aromatherapy room, hairdressing salon, private dining room, computers room / library, outdoor courtyard and terraces, sitting areas, and an activities area for art, crafts and lifestyle. Residents have started moving in and are making themselves comfortable and at home. Resident’s Hilda and Neville Towers said “We love it here

and are very happy with the care Debbie and her team are providing”. Their aged care options were made easy to understand. “There are excellent nurses who are very friendly, helpful and love a joke. We are looked after very well and all the staff have a wonderful attitude. The care we have been given from day one has been excellent and we are happy to be together”, they said. As well as providing permanent residential accommodation, Wallsend Manor Aged Care has an area within the home for residents needing security, extra care and support. This is suitable for seniors with early stage dementia. There is also respite care and services (short term accommodation that provides an organised, temporary break both for carers and the person they care for). Facility Manager, Debbie McPhee said “There is a strong focus on caring for residents to ensure they feel at home and safe, part of a community and receive the support they need for quality of living. We care for them like we would our own family members with the respect and dignity they deserve. We have created a wonderful atmosphere with attractive artwork, plenty of open spaces, areas to socialise and enjoy the companionship of other or just some quality quiet time.”

Residents can choose from a spacious single room or there are double rooms available (ideal for couples so they can stay together). There is an exciting leisure and lifestyle program that residents can participate in to keep active, engaged and importantly, have fun. Fresh and nutritious meals are cooked in-house by our catering team ensuring residents receive a varied and balanced diet for wellbeing. Wallsend Manor Aged Care is an independent and Australian owned service provider. The home is having an Open Day on Saturday, 28th April from 10am to 2pm.

news Clubs tackle illegal drugs Sporting organisations from across the Hunter Region have united to hear how they can best prepare for potential drug-related issues and create healthier environments. Representatives from AFL, rugby league and surf life saving clubs attended a Good Sports Tackling Illegal Drugs forum at Wallsend Diggers last week. The forum discussed what to do if drugs are found at their club, how to respond if a person is using or under the influence of drugs, and what to do if someone is found dealing drugs. Hunter Surf Life Saving chief executive, Rhonda Scruton, believes the information will help prevent “knee-jerk reactions”. “Illegal drugs in sport is something new to us – it’s probably been going on for a while, but it hasn’t been in our face,” she says. “So, to come up with a template and open up a conversation about it will be very beneficial. “In the hysterical moment of finding out that something’s been going on, it’s important not to have knee-jerk reactions and unfairness because that is so hard to undo.”

Welcome to your new home...

Ms Scruton described the forum as “thoughtprovoking” in terms of considering mental health and other factors behind the decision to use or distribute illegal drugs. She says Hunter Surf Life Saving will offer chaplains, initially, if an issue arises. “We don’t want [athletes] to take drugs,” she says. “But the forum did open our eyes; is there something going on in their lives that’s creating a problem? “In surf life saving, we have chaplains in clubs and they’ll be the perfect people that I’ll target to handle our policies. “Policies are needed for when things are passionate, and everyone is acting hysterically – to me, it shows the professionalism of an organisation.” Lakes United Rugby League Football Club representative, Brendan Walsh, also attended the forum. He believes it is the club’s duty to educate players and staff about the dangers of drugs and the consequences. “We will be looking at introducing an illegal

drugs policy at Lakes United to combat this threat and to help educate and better understand and support our players,” he says. The Tackling Illegal Drugs initiative builds on the success of the Alcohol and Drug Foundation’s (ADF) Good Sports program, which has helped more than 8,000 sporting organisations across Australia to create healthier, safer, and more family-friendly environments. - Ben Murphy

Government backflips on disability advocacy plan

Disability Advocacy NSW chief executive Mark Grierson says he is looking forward to focusing on the “real work” after the state government backflipped on plans to cut funding to the service. The current funding for disability representative bodies, advocacy and information services in NSW was set to expire on 30 June and, until last week, people with a disability had not been given any reassurance that it would be continued. A tireless Stand By Me campaign called on the government to reconsider its plans. Premier Gladys Berejiklian confirmed last Friday it would provide $26 million in funding over the next two years as part

of the transition to the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Mr Grierson said the announcement seemed “very positive” for the Hunter-based Disability Advocacy NSW service. “I’m looking forward to the future of not having to lobby and doing our real work with disability advocacy,” he told Newcastle Weekly. “We can let people know that we will be around, we won’t be losing staff or closing offices, so it’s all very positive so far.” NSW Disability Advocacy Alliance campaign spokesperson, Serena Ovens, said it was a “huge win” for people with a disability. However, she added the specifics of the funding would need to be discussed.

Road upgrades in Newcastle city centre Newcastle is changing. New development and transport infrastructure in the city centre means the road network needs upgrading. The NSW Government is funding important upgrades to key intersections. This will help to improve traffic flow and safety for road users. From early March, temporary traffic changes will be in place to allow the work to be carried out safely. When travelling in and around the city centre, plan ahead and allow extra travel time.

Renewal program City steams into annual celebration hits Carrington Visitors from across the state will flock to Maitland this weekend for the city’s annual celebration of its steam and industrial heritage. The 2018 Hunter Valley Steamfest includes steam locomotive trips to Paterson, Port Waratah Coal Loop, Branxton and, of course, the everpopular Great Train Race, where steam engines run parallel together while racing a Tiger Moth aeroplane. Apart from these journeys, the heritage diesels CHP1/CHP7 ‘Tin Hare’ and 621/721 ‘Red Rattler’

Carrington will join Beresfield as the first Newcastle suburbs to gain access to free Wi-Fi. A $3 million upgrade to Young Street, Carrington, started last week, with the revitalisation works bringing improvements to roads, pathways and parking, as well as new street trees, bike racks and bins. The upgrade is being funded through Newcastle council’s local centre renewal program. “It’s really exciting that Carrington, together with Beresfield, will be the first local centres to have access to free Wi-Fi through technology being installed as part of our Smart City strategy,” Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes said. Cr Nelmes officially launched the program at Beresfield late last month. Restoration works are also set to start in two other high-priority local centres, Stockton and Wallsend.

will be operating between Maitland and Paterson. An impressive display of heritage steam equipment is also set to feature at the rally ground, while the Show ‘n’ Shine returns to Maitland Park. For kids and big kids alike, Steamfest has a range of entertainment around the Maitland Station precinct, including market stalls, face painting, and live music. This year’s event will go from 9am to 5pm on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 April. Visit steamfest.com.au for more information.

Centre’s role in renewable energy The Lake Macquarie Performing Arts Centre has taken on an exciting new role as a key producer of the city’s renewable energy. Lake Macquarie council is installing 64 new solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the roof of the Warners Bay performance space. The council’s manager of sustainability, Alice Howe, said the panels had the potential to produce more than 32,000 kilowatthours a year, translating to annual electricity savings in excess of $6,000.

“Investing in renewable energy sources like solar PV makes economic and environmental sense,” she said. “The solar panels we’re installing at the Lake Mac Centre for Performing Arts are a significant cost saver for our community, generating enough energy to power five Lake Macquarie homes.” Dr Howe said the project, along with the 38 panels being installed at Speers Point Masonic Hall, meant the council was close to achieving its renewable energy target.

John Hunter Hospital has redeveloped its Maternity Assessment Day Unit (MADU). Now located adjacent to the birthing suites, the new-andimproved MADU has two, singleassessment rooms, a procedure room, a four-bed assessment room, and utility rooms to support the unit. There is also a small waiting and refreshment area for women waiting on results or further consultation. The unit averages 600 presentations a month, including planned daystay assessments and walk-ins. It follows the completion of Stage 2B of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit project, which has 12 neonatal intensive care cots. The final stage is due for completion in June/July, and includes two, four-bed intensive care rooms, an isolation/procedure room and an isolation negative pressure room.

Also unveiled at the same time as the new-look MADU was the revamped Acute General Surgical Unit (AGSU). Hunter New England Local Health District redeveloped an existing space at the hospital to provide a dedicated six-bed unit. The $2.6 million project was locally-funded and allows the rapid assessment, treatment and admission of emergency patients, particularly those with abdominal pain and other acute general surgical conditions. This is expected to improve patient transfer from the emergency department to surgery. The reshuffle also provided a more appropriate space for the Renal Procedure Clinic, which has been operating at the hospital since it opened, and offers core nephrology and transplant outpatient procedural services.

It’s taken a dedicated community effort over the past 100 years to maintain a beloved hall that has brought people together in times of celebration and sorrow. Now, residents will celebrate the Dora Creek Community Hall’s centenary during a special event this weekend. According to reports at the time, the hall was opened on 5 April 1918 and the Dora Creek School of Arts formally purchased the land nearly three months later. Over the years, it has been used for Op Shop Fridays, garage sales, and a number of other activities. Centenary planning committee member Chris Gavenlock says the milestone is a chance to reflect on the community’s history. “The centenary celebration is a wonderful tribute to the community members who’ve worked together

The Dora Creek School of Arts will host the event on Saturday 14 April from 10am to 2pm at the hall.

The artwork will be spray painted across 120 metres of wall as part of Youth Week 2018 activities. It’s the brainchild of the Threatened Species Last Stand (TSLS) on the Coal Point Peninsula project – a six-year environmental trust-funded project that will end in June. Coal Point Progress Association president Suzanne Pritchard says she is excited about the mural. “It’s going to be a fantastic creation showcasing the local street-art talent and the local flora and fauna,” she says. “Over the past five years, we’ve surveyed the plants and animals that live in our local bushland

Lauren Parker claimed the Hunter Region’s first medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. The inspirational 29-year-old, who qualified for the Australian team almost 12 months after a training accident left her paralysed from the waist down, picked up bronze in the paratriathlon on Saturday. She was first out of the water in the swim leg but was eventually caught by winner Jade Jones, from England, and fellow Australian Emily Tapp. Apart from Parker, Charlestown teenager Erin Cleaver won silver in the T38 long jump and competes in the T38 100m today (12 April). Legendary wheelchair racer Kurt Fearnley was set to race in the T54 1500m final as Newcastle Weekly went to print on Tuesday afternoon. He lines up for his final race for Australia – the men’s T54 marathon – on Sunday morning.

Retiring discus thrower Benn Harradine will also contest the preliminaries today, before a potential final on Friday. In lawn bowls, Ettalong’s Aron Sherriff picked up silver in the men’s triples alongside Barrie Lester and Nathan Rice, and is competing in the men’s fours until 13 April. Raymond Terrace lawn bowler Natasha Scott claimed the Hunter’s first gold medal in the women’s fours on Monday and ends her campaign in the women’s triples today. Other athletes who have either competed, or are still contesting events, include: basketballers Katie-Rae Ebzery and Damian Martin; veteran shooter Dan Repacholi; swimmer Meg Bailey; hockey player Matt Dawson; runner Celia Sullohern; weightlifter Pip Malone; and shot putter Cameron Crombie. The Games finish on 15 April.

Athletes taste Games success

The Newcastle Knights had to grind out a tough 15-10 win over the Brisbane Broncos at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday night. In a low-scoring first half, Knights forward Lachlan Fitzgibbon posted the first points, charging across the line in the 31st minute. A Mitchell Pearce field goal made it 7-0 at half-time. Big man Daniel Saifiti then barged over in the 55th minute

and fullback Kalyn Ponga converted to make it 13-0. The Broncos finally found the tryline four minutes later, before Ponga booted a penalty goal. A charging Anthony Milford crashed across with seven minutes to go, making it 15-10, but, despite some tense moments, Newcastle held on for its third win of the season. The Knights travel to Melbourne to face the Storm this Friday 13 April. Kick-off is at 6pm.

New world for Hunter Drama Youth theatre company Hunter Drama is gearing up to hit the road for the first time. A talented cast of 35 actors and actresses aged 10 to 18 will perform the Disney classic Aladdin Jr. at Newcastle’s Civic Playhouse from Friday 13 to Saturday 21 April, on the first leg of the show’s Hunter tour. The show will then grace audiences at Singleton Civic Centre on 27 and 28 April, Cessnock Performing Arts Centre on 11 and 12 July, and Maitland Town Hall on 20 and 21 July, with a different cast each time. Speaking to Newcastle Weekly ahead of tomorrow night’s opening, co-director James Tolhurst said there was an air of excitement. “It’s new territory, but it’s going really well,” he said. “We won’t know [how well it’s received] until we finish, but it should run smoothly.”

Aladdin Jr. is a 70-minute, one-act adaptation of the 1992 Academy Award-winning film, Aladdin. Starring much-loved characters Aladdin (Kaleb Shearer), Jasmine (Lillie Kerslake) and Genie (Rory Pollock) in the show’s debut performances, the play was an easy choice, Tolhurst said. “We like to stick with crowd favourites, and Disney is always going to be popular,” he said. Growing up on Disney films, Kaleb and Lillie, both 13 and taking on their first lead roles, and Rory, 18, have adapted easily to their characters. “We’ve also brought our own little tweaks to the characters,” Lillie added. From the outset, the Hunter Drama crew has strived for authenticity, drawing on movie stills to emulate the characters’ personalities. Costume designer Jennifer Ellicott created a staggering 74 costumes, each one as lifelike as the next.

After seven years in residence on the Las Vegas Strip, one might assume a show would look tired. But not The Australian Bee Gees Show. Speaking to Newcastle Weekly ahead of the show’s ‘Direct From Vegas’ tour Down Under, Michael Clift, who sings as Barry Gibb, said the turnout figures were up 12% this year. “It’s a show that’s always evolving,” Clift said. “As a musician doing a show like this, you think eventually it’s got to come to an end, but by keeping it fresh we’ve staved off any thought of: ‘Has it run its course?’” The band, voted Best Tribute Show in Las Vegas by the esteemed Las Vegas Review-Journal, formed in 1996, and has played shows around the world, from America to Europe to Southeast Asia, including many pub and corporate/special events on home soil.

The talented trio of The Australian Bee Gees Show that will be touring Down Under.

Now, it has amassed more than 2,250 performances at the famed Excalibur Hotel and Casino. While some of the stellar line-up will take time away for the Australian tour from April to September, Clift says Vegas fans won’t be left without the Bee Gees experience, with about 30 musicians on rotation so the show never misses a beat. With shows at Belmont 16s on Saturday 28 April and Cessnock Performing Arts Centre on Thursday 23 August, Australian audiences can expect an extended version of the much-loved Vegas show.

Camellia in bloom

Although we are still getting summer-like weather, the autumn-blooming Sasanqua camellia is ignoring the heat and producing masses of its beautiful flowers. Sasanquas have smaller leaves and blooms than the other popular member of the tea family, the Japonica camellia. Sasanqua are certainly hardier and can be grown in full sun without burning. They are often used for hedging, and can be clipped and shaped for narrow garden beds, along fence lines and driveways, looking beautiful if espaliered on a frame. Colour choices vary from the deep pink ‘Hiryu’ to many choices of white. The white flowers mostly appear as pink buds, then opening to white. The true white is ‘Setsagukka’, which has an open form with yellow stamens. Camellia japonicas can be distinguished by their larger

leaves and bigger flowers. I consider them to be the queen of the winter garden. These shiny-leaved plants produce many blooms from singles to formal doubles. Lighter colours, particularly white, require shade; whilst darker shades, such as reds, will tolerate full sun. Japonicas produce better quality blooms when they have been disbudded, which is the removal of multiple buds on one stem back to one or two. Both types of camellia like acidic soil. If ground-grown, this can be achieved by regular applications of cow manure. Being shallow-rooted, peat moss applied over the root’s surface will help the acidity and retain moisture, particularly in container-grown plants. Camellias are rare in that they respond to transplanting when in flower. However, they must be kept well-watered after transplanting.

PICK OF THE WEEK School Of Rock Saturday, 9GO!, 7pm, PG (2003) Jack Black’s (pictured) inspired and energetic performance, a razorsharp script from Mike White and the astute direction of Richard Linklater ensures this is a winner. As a rock-obsessed slacker, Black drums up plenty of laughs as he assumes the identity of his teacher roommate and decides to shape a class of private school kids into rock gods. Funny without being gross, sweet without resorting to sentimentality, this will strike a chord with the whole family.

Django Unchained

Salt Thursday, 7MATE, 8.30pm, M (2010) Angelina Jolie (pictured) once again comes out with guns blazing in this fast-paced espionage thriller from Australian director Phillip Noyce. Jolie plays Evelyn Salt, a highly respected CIA agent who is abruptly accused of being a sleeper operative by Russian traitor Orlov (Daniel Olbrychski). The femme fatale is forced to go on the run in a bid to clear her name. This ﬂick brings relentless action and nail-biting suspense to a genre that can be found wanting. Jolie pulls off her familiar role with aplomb.

Monday, 7MATE, 9pm, MA15+ (2012) After taking on the Nazis in Inglourious Basterds, director Quentin Tarantino set his sights on slavery in the South and came up with an exhilarating, appalling and incessantly entertaining spaghetti western-style movie. Dr King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), a German dentist turned bounty hunter, frees Django (Jamie Foxx, pictured), a slave who’s hellbent on rescuing his wife from the sadistic Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).

Introducing Snowy an 11 month old white Wolfhound Scruffy Cross and is on the small size for a Wolfie. She has a very sweet and affectionate nature and is looking for a forever home. Snowy is currently in care with a large male dog and loves having a playmate to play with and very much enjoys chasing a ball. Snowy loves long walks and going for car rides with her foster family. Her perfect home would be with older children to love and play with. She would be great with another dog for company, but if her owner was home most of the time, she would be fine as an only dog. She needs a safe and secure yard with high fences to keep her safe. For more information please contact Penny via email at pennyneedham88@gmail.com. Or for more information please view Snowys full profile at www.dogrescuenewcastle.com.au. Foster carers urgently needed. You get support and you don’t pay vet or food bills.

STARS STARS WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

Saoirse is good at taking responsibility on the career front and there will be an opportunity during the next 12 months for her to use her creative powers. If she is asked for advice or a business plan, she should seize the chance as it will lead to success. Honesty is always the best policy and Saoirse will be surprised at how good a response she gets from others when she puts them in the picture. Romance is very much on the cards.

ARIES: 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER: 22 JUN – 22 JUL

LIBRA: 24 SEP – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN: 22 DEC – 20 JAN

The New Moon on the 16th could mark a turning point in your working life for the better, so pay attention to everything that is happening at work. You will share moments of pure pleasure with partners, colleagues, friends and people you see on a regular basis.

Catching up with relatives and people you haven’t seen for some time will bring you a great deal of pleasure. The New Moon on the 16th indicates that the end of a project at work creates a new understanding developing between you and your colleagues or clients.

If you’re facing obstacles at work, you can find a way out of this situation by using your imagination and instincts. The New Moon on the 16th indicates it’s an ideal time to apply for a loan or to sort out joint assets and possessions.

The New Moon on the 16th indicates

TAURUS: 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO: 23 JUL – 23 AUG

SCORPIO: 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS: 21 JAN – 19 FEB

The New Moon on the 16th enables you to make a new start and throws a rosy glow over all your most important relationships. People in general seem to be much friendlier and more amenable. If you’re having second thoughts over a home project, put it on hold.

The New Moon on the 16th indicates that there could be great news about your job. You could receive the recognition that you have been searching for and even if that doesn’t apply, there are signs that there will soon be more money on the way via your job.

While it’s tempting to push hard, beware the law of diminishing returns. The more you take on, the more tired you’ll be and the harder the effort to complete your tasks. The New Moon on the 16th is the ideal time to make a fresh start in all your relationships.

GEMINI: 22 MAY – 21 JUN

VIRGO: 24 AUG – 23 SEP

You may not feel confident enough about speaking out about unwelcome gossip at work, but you can make it clear that you don’t want to get involved. The 16 April New Moon indicates you need to down tools and take a break to recoup your energies.

The 16 April New Moon is an ideal time to plan a trip overseas or to make connections with those who live at a distance. Although you love your family, you may not always see eye to eye with them. One member is taking up a lot of your energy.

SAGITTARIUS: 23 NOV – 21 DEC The 16 April New Moon is an ideal time to cooperate with colleagues and make a fresh start at work. Certain cutbacks may be necessary to get you back on the right financial rails. Allow for delays dealing with anything important and avoid signing on the dotted line if possible.

warnersbaymarkets@outlook.com | 52

if you’ve been feeling left out with all this romance in the air, it’s time to get out and socialise as you need to put the effort into meeting new people. Younger people will be especially drawn to your energy.

The New Moon on the 16th indicates that this would be an ideal time to call a tradesman to have something fixed at home. Family issues might have made you feel somewhat insecure lately but they will now vanish as you see the hidden cause to these troubles.

PISCES: 20 FEB – 20 MAR The New Moon on 16 April indicates that you will be in a particularly sociable frame of mind. You haven’t got much to worry about because you of all people are able to take control of any situation which is bothering you.

My favourite things LAKE MACQUARIE We’re lucky enough to live right on the lake at Mannering Park and we spend as much time as we can on the water. I love jet skiing to Pulbah Island and Swansea Heads or taking the girls over to Rafferty’s Resort for a swim.

FLYING We travel a lot and I love flying. I know many people are afraid of flying or find the whole experience annoying but I just can’t get blasé about travelling at hundreds of kilometres per hour above the clouds. I’m taking my first flight on a Qantas A380 soon and I can’t wait!

CANCER COUNCIL NSW

Shayne Connell

Working with the staff and volunteers of Cancer Council NSW is the best job ever. We are able to help so many local families during one of the most difficult times of their lives. The fundraising and support we receive in the Hunter is humbling.

FATHERHOOD It really is the greatest privilege in the world for Natalie and I to raise three beautiful daughters; Isla, Harper and Elle. They are constant reminders of what really matters in life and they think all of my jokes are hilarious. I’m sure they always will.

CANCER COUNCIL NSW REGIONAL MANAGER

Shayne is a well-respected not-for-profit leader in the Hunter. The 38-year-old father of three has led Cancer Council NSW for the past 12 years and is a former Newcastle councillor. Shayne has been awarded the University of Newcastle Leadership Award and the Lake Macquarie Young Business Person of the Year. As Regional Manager with Cancer Council NSW, Shayne has driven the charity’s growth in the Hunter and has established successful events such as the Stars of Newcastle Dance for Cancer fundraiser. Shayne also runs a business providing ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training) workshops throughout the country and overseas with LivingWorks Education. 58

SUICIDE INTERVENTION TRAINING I am passionate about suicide prevention and I love teaching people suicide first aid skills with LivingWorks Education. As an ASIST trainer, I work with people from all walks of life across Australia and the world; from rural Aboriginal communities and local Lifeline centres, to US Marine bases in Korea, Japan and Pearl Harbor.
