This week... From the editor Australian research shows about one in 300 people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD. Spurred by the changing of the seasons and the onset of shorter, darker days in winter, SAD is a form of depression that can cause sleep disruptions, lethargy and disinterest in social activities. While there is a difference between the good old winter blues – which cause many of us to oversleep, overeat and stay in more – and full-blown SAD, it’s important to try and build things into your daily routine, such as exercise and social activities, to try and combat it. I’ve said before I'm not a fan of winter, but I’m trying my best to embrace it. Some things work; others don’t. The 6am daily HIIT sessions at the gym my cousin has talked me into feel like a bit of a catch-22; I certainly don’t spring out of bed at 5.30am, but the post-workout endorphins leave me feeling calmer throughout the workday. No matter what you try, the important thing is not to get bogged down. Look for the silver lining: trackies, hot chocolates and movie marathons certainly have their upsides. With a bit of luck, winter will pass as quickly as summer and autumn did, and it’ll be time for my (and I'm sure many others’) favourite season: spring.

news School bullies remain on police radar It’s been a major issue within schools for generations. But Port Stephens Hunter Police District’s youth liaison officer, senior constable Leanne Mann, believes bullying is on the rise in the region. Senior constable Mann attends up to four primary schools per week in an attempt to deliver crime prevention packages, with a particular focus on social media and cyber bullying awareness. “Schools within the area have indicated a growing issue regarding bullying, especially as a result of the use of social media apps [like Facebook, Snapchat and Instagram],” she tells Newcastle Weekly. “The majority of our bullying offences in schools are not disclosed or recorded as bullying in the first instance. “Through the course of investigations, it can be found that

bullying is the underlying factor in the incident. “Once this has been identified, specialist police [youth liaison officer and school liaison police] contact schools and parents and offer their assistance.” The school liaison police officer’s full-time role covers crime prevention in high schools, including a presentation on bullying, assaults, cyber crime and sexting. The presentation features information on Section 60E of the Crimes Act NSW, which directly refers to bullying by stalking, harassment, intimidation and assaults within schools. The officer also reminds principals and deputies of the legislation and how to report offences to police. Despite this, the issue of bullying hit the headlines last week when a Facebook status accused a Hunter

high school – that cannot be named due to an ongoing investigation – of failing to deal with repeated complaints. The post, which drew widespread attention but has since been removed, claims a 14-year-old student did not want to return to school after a number of incidents. These reportedly included having his genitals exposed at a bus stop and food being thrown at him. Senior constable Mann says Port Stephens Hunter Police District will continue to focus on the issue of bullying. “Part of this is continuing to encourage the early reporting of offences by students, parents and schools,” she says. “Bullying is a community responsibility; we need active bystanders, people who are willing to act, rather than turn the other way.

BEFORE

Bullying is a community responsibility, police say.

“The social media justice system is not helpful – students can talk to parents, schools and police [and] issues can be escalated appropriately.” Senior constable Mann adds the e-safety commissioners website, as well as Acorn and ThinkUKnow, are valuable resources for support and reporting.

John Hunter boosts staff numbers

Aitchison demands answers over PFAS

Longed-for service restored in Toronto

John Hunter Hospital has been handed an extra 30 full-time equivalent staff to help it cope with the busy winter period. Hunter New England Local Health District executive director of clinical services, nursing and midwifery, Elizabeth Grist, said the hospital wanted to ensure patients received the best care as quickly as possible. “We have added extra staff to take the pressure off the emergency department as much as possible and provide a backup for any workers who may fall ill during winter,” she said. From July to September 2017, more than 110,000 people presented to emergency departments across the district; an increase of about 11% year-on-year. Ms Grist reminded the community to visit their GP for treatment of less serious illnesses to ensure emergency departments were freed up for emergencies. The state government is spending a record $22.75 million on statewide immunisation programs in 2017-18.

Maitland MP Jenny Aitchison says the community needs answers after testing of three creeks showed chemical concentrations of PFAS up to 22 times the recommended drinking water guidelines. In 2016, the Truegain waste oil processing facility at Rutherford had its environment protection licence suspended by the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA). However, Labor claimed it appeared that no testing of the site, or in nearby waterways, was carried out by the state government until a spill occurred earlier this year. Surrounding residents have been told to avoid using water from Stony, Fishery and Wallis creeks for domestic and livestock use. “Why did it take two months to notify residents of the recent testing results, and is the government going door-to-door to properly explain the situation to locals?” Ms Aitchison asked. The EPA will now meet with affected residents at the Rutherford Community Centre today (Thursday 7 June) and tomorrow morning.

A full-scale Service NSW office will be built in Toronto. The town’s old RTA branch was controversially closed almost three years ago, with a subsequent petition attracting more than 11,000 signatures. The state government announced last week there would now be funding in this month’s budget to establish the new service. Lake Macquarie MP Greg Piper said it was a sensible decision. “At the moment, Service NSW offices are located at Warners Bay and Toukley, and that’s a long way from the many thousands of people living at Morisset, Cooranbong, Wangi, Rathmines, Coal Point and Toronto, especially if they have to rely on public transport,” he said. “While we’ll get back the old RMS services we lost... we’ll also get access to 40 other agencies such as Births, Deaths and Marriages.” Service NSW is investigating potential sites for the new office in Toronto. It is expected to open before the end of the year.

news Plea to fix hot spot

Port appoints CEO

Michael Nolan has waited for more than seven years, but it’s come down to an “11th-hour plea” for the state government to fix the notorious Hillsborough Road. A community meeting attracted about 70 residents, as well as Charlestown MP Jodie Harrison, to Hillsborough Oval on Saturday. It discussed the Roads and Maritime Services’ (RMS) long-awaited Lake Macquarie Transport Study. The draft study recommended a set of traffic lights, to be shared by the suburb and patrons of the dog showground, as a top priority in a bid to ease concerns over the large volume of traffic entering and exiting Hillsborough Road. However, Mr Nolan said residents were still waiting for the final report. “The draft copy indicated a set of traffic lights on the corner of Chadwick Street and Hillsborough Road,” he said. “This is what residents have been asking for, so we’re just trying to make sure that the government doesn’t put the money away and the report doesn’t get swept aside until next year.”

Port of Newcastle has named Craig Carmody as its incoming chief executive. Mr Carmody will replace Geoff Crowe, who spent the past three years in the role, on 1 August. “I am delighted to join the world’s largest coal port,” Mr Carmody said. “I look forward to leading the organisation and working with the team at the Port of Newcastle and all its stakeholders to progress the port’s diversification agenda, including the development of a container terminal, to ensure regional growth and an efficient freight and logistics network for NSW.” Port Chair Roy Green spoke highly of Mr Carmody’s background, praising his “commercial and political experience, combined with his industry knowledge and strategic skills”. Mr Carmody previously worked as a senior government adviser in transport and infrastructure, including in the offices of the prime minister, deputy prime minister and minister for transport and infrastructure. He also led the strategic direction of Svitzer Australia in both a domestic and global context.

Mr Nolan added residents had sent more than 400 personal postcards to Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight, Melinda Pavey, ahead of the release of the NSW Budget on Tuesday 19 June. “We’ve penned postcards for Minister Pavey in an attempt to ensure the issue is coming across her desk,” he said. “In the weeks and months leading up to the budget, we’ve been pleading for extra funding for this dangerous road; none of us have heard back directly, so residents are starting to get irate that we are seemingly being ignored.” - Ben Murphy

The state government will provide $185,000 towards an 18-month program that aims to support at-risk youth in a bid to break the crime cycle. Toronto-based Community Activities Lake Macquarie (CALM) will use the grant for a range of crime prevention and youth diversionary projects. “The focus is on early intervention for at-risk youth to keep them off the streets and help them before major issues arise,” Lake Macquarie MP Greg Piper said. “The initiative aims to find creative ways to engage teenagers, including music workshops, mentoring programs and street art lessons. “CALM is a well-known

news Sleep rough to help others When Soul Café was first established in 2003, it started to serve free hot meals to the highlydisadvantaged in Newcastle. “Many of [our] guests are dealing with issues of homelessness, drug or alcohol addiction, crime, violence, poverty, separation, mental health or illness concerns and accommodation needs,” chief executive Rick Prosser says. From those early days, Soul Café has since grown into a haven of hope and help. It offers services such as drug, alcohol and substance abuse groupbased programs, accommodation links, Centrelink referrals, mental health counselling, refuge referral, haircuts, and access to free doctors, podiatry and audiology clinics. However, the non-government funded charity needs support to maintain its services.

An annual fundraiser, Sleepout for Soul, will take place at Civic West Car Park on Friday 15 June from 6pm. Participants are set to face the harsh reality of sleeping without a roof over their heads for a night. In 2017, the event attracted 167 registrations and raised an incredible $125,000. So far this year, more than 180 people have signed up. Mr Prosser says all funds raised will go towards operational costs and the expansion of services. “We’ve just installed another meeting room, which allows us to add to our recovery programs,” he says. “There’s space for more programs and we’re adding a laundry service to our operations as well because there is a real need for it [in the community].”

Tea Gardens Police Station is set to undergo a $1 million redevelopment. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian announced last week the funding had been allocated in the 2018-19 State Budget. The police station will receive upgraded facilities to enable its hard-working officers to prevent and disrupt more crime and keep the community safe. Port Stephens state MP Kate Washington welcomed the announcement, which followed a “significant” community rally last November. However, she added that more police officers were needed in the wake of the government’s restructure of police local area commands. Tea Gardens is among several satellite stations in Port Stephens.

Creating happiness Q Sometimes I find myself getting caught up in the negativity of people around me and forget about the good things that are also happening. How can I ground myself and remind myself that life is also full of hope and good things? A It is the human condition to analyse and judge people and our experiences; and therefore, we are wired to be more “negative” than positive. So you are not alone in getting caught up in the negativity around you, as this is what our minds are geared for – just in case there is danger ahead. You are already sounding positive and grounded in wanting to achieve an emotional balance where you can also focus on the good around you. If you continue to develop this skill, you will be working towards living a more fulfilling and happy life.

Tanya Russell, Assistant Director/Psychologist at CatholicCare Social Services, Hunter-Manning.

According to the Action for Happiness organisation, the ten key aspects to happier living are:

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Giving – Doing things for others. Relating – Connecting with people. Exercising – Taking care of your body.

•

Appreciating – Noticing the world around you. •

Trying Out – Keep learning new things. Direction – Having goals to look forward to.

•

Resilience – Finding ways to bounce back. Emotion – Taking a positive approach. Acceptance – Being comfortable with who you are. Meaning – Being part of something bigger.

One strategy you can start practicing immediately that is in the theme of the above aspects is “Three Good Things”. This exercise helps you to reflect on the things that you are grateful for, and encouraging a sense of appreciation for life – despite what life throws at you. Try the following: •

To get started, put yesterday into your mind. On a piece of paper, write down “three good things” that happened. Even on a bad day, we should be able to find something that was good, perhaps

something we might consider to be trivial. The good thing may be an event, a feeling, a thought or an action. Examples could be: “I enjoyed my sandwich today” or “I’m glad I bumped into Karen at the shops today as we got the chance to catch up” or “I’m grateful that I have a boss who listens to me and makes me feel important” or “I’m grateful that the supermarket queues were not too long today as it meant I could get home earlier to be with my children.” The three good things can be something that made you feel good or grateful for. When you have written down three good things, try to then write why that “thing” was a good thing. Once you have completed this for yesterday, start to reflect on a daily basis and complete this activity at the end of each day.

We know that grateful people tend to be happier people so taking some time at the end of your day to reflect on the positive aspects of your day helps to take the focus off the negative parts. In saying that, we cannot completely ignore negativity as sometimes we have to act on warning signs. This strategy is just a way to ground yourself and allow you the opportunity to assess what is important to you, every day. If you would like to learn more about the keys to happier living, as well as learn more practical strategies, you can download the Action for Happiness pack at: www.actionforhappiness.org and click on the “Resources” tab.

The Res primed for revival Newcastle East Public School students may soon have access to a new playground with some of the best views in the city. Hunter Water and the Department of Education are working on a proposal to reopen ‘The Res’ roof. Built in 1882, Number 1 Reservoir, also known as The Res, provided Newcastle with its first town water supply, holding two million litres of water pumped from Walka Water Works near Maitland. The Res remains a community asset. Hunter Water reopened the site for public tours in May 2015 and it joined the state heritage register earlier this year. Newcastle East Public School principal, Mick McCann, said he was excited about the proposal. “We have recreation areas in the school grounds, but this would be a

real bonus for our focus on keeping students as active as possible outside the classroom,” he said. “It’s a great example of how beneficial it can be to talk to your neighbours, whether they are individuals or organisations.” A development application for the playground has been lodged with Newcastle council. Hunter Water managing director, Jim Bentley, said the organisation was pleased to work on the project. “We thought it was a great idea to allow students to use this space as a playground when it was first suggested by the school last year,” he said. “We’re working cooperatively with all parties to meet the requirements of the development application and we’re optimistic about the proposal.”

Light rail ramps up in CBD Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Andrew Constance, says crews will work around the clock when Stewart Avenue shuts over the next two weekends as part of the light rail project in Newcastle’s CBD. This June long weekend will involve installing rail and building the track, while next weekend is due to include road paving, kerb work, median strips and line marking. “Back in August, we completed the essential groundwork at Stewart Avenue, removing old rail infrastructure, widening the

road, and installing underground supports,” Mr Constance said. “Stewart Avenue is a busy road, which is why we’re staging work over consecutive weekends rather than closing it for a sustained period of time during the working week.” Detours will divert northbound drivers onto Hunter Street and to Albert Street via Hannell Street for southbound traffic. Stewart Avenue is set to close for construction from 7pm on Thursday 7 June to 5am on Tuesday 12 June, and from 7pm on Friday 15 June to 5am on Monday 18 June.

news Repair café focuses on a lost art It’s a valuable skill that has become increasingly uncommon. But Lake Macquarie Repair Café aims to arm people once more with the knowledge and tools to fix broken household goods. Repair cafés have become a popular international movement, with 1,500 popping up all over the world since 2009. Toronto Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group’s Steve Dewar says the initiative shows people just how easy, and fun, it can be to repair things. “This is a trial of the repair cafés available in metropolitan areas and overseas where, instead of throwing out broken household goods to landfill, people can learn to repair a preloved garment or tool,” he says. “It reduces the amount of waste that ends up in landfill and people learn to share valuable and practical skills of how to fix things – many of which are being lost over time. “Our first two repair cafés will focus on clothing and garden tool repairs, but we hope to include other types of repairs in the future.” The inaugural Lake Macquarie Repair Café took

place at Toronto last month. A second café has now been organised for Saturday 16 June, from 10.30am to 1.30pm, at Willows Uniting Church, Warners Bay. Mr Dewar says future repair café, on the third Saturday of each month, may expand to include bike, furniture and simple electrical repairs. Lake Macquarie council has supported the initiative, with Toronto and Warners Bay sustainable neighbourhood groups both receiving grants. - Ben Murphy

Funds to combat flying foxes Cessnock residents can now apply for a subsidy to alleviate some of the issues caused by the East Cessnock flying-fox camp. Funding is available for those residents who live nearby and have had to buy car, pool and clothesline covers, as well as highpressure hoses, to prevent or fix damage caused by flying foxes. Priority will be given to residents within a 400-metre radius of the camp. Cessnock City Council secured a $50,000 grant from Local Government NSW after it adopted the East Cessnock Flying-Fox Camp Management Plan in 2017, which it will match in in-kind staff support, making it a $100,000 project to reduce the impact of flying foxes. The funding will also assist in a new education program to improve community awareness about grey-headed flying foxes. To apply, visit cessnock.nsw.gov.au/ community/exhibition/ECFFCsubsidy and submit your application before 20 June.

Starlight, star bright When Olivia Brett visits the Starlight Express Room at John Hunter Children’s Hospital, she assumes a new identity. There, the spritely seven-year-old from Cameron Park is fondly known as Captain Crazy Balloons. For Olivia and her family, the Starlight Express Room – where children’s entertainers work to cheer up sick kids undergoing hospital treatment – has been a saving grace. Olivia was diagnosed with a rare lymphatic cancer, called Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, when she was six years old. Mum Ryannah, dad Nathan and older sibling Lara dropped everything to be by their daughter and sister’s side, whose life was suddenly consumed by lengthy

hospital stays and gruelling treatment. When Olivia became withdrawn, a visit from Captain Starlight brought her joy and laughter. She soon became a regular at the Starlight Express Room, where she earned her nickname. Now, the Bretts are paying it forward. This month, the family is supporting the Starlight Tax Appeal to encourage people to make a taxdeductible donation before the end of the financial year. Donate online at starlight.org.au

Knights put Eels to sword Newcastle charged back into the winner’s circle with an emphatic 30-4 win over Parramatta at ANZ Stadium on Saturday night. In the 14th minute, Knights halfback Jack Cogger put up a swirling bomb, which ricocheted off Eels playmaker Mitch Moses. Cogger picked up the crumbs to dive over and Kalyn Ponga added the extras for a 6-0 lead. Ponga then nailed a penalty goal before Sione Mata’utia stormed through to score

Newcastle’s second try. The Knights, up 14-0 at the break, quickly closed out the game in the second period, as Ken Sio and Daniel Saifiti crashed over. A Connor Watson try heaped further misery on the Eels, but Josh Hoffman finally put the home side on the scoreboard with five minutes left. Newcastle will play Sydney Roosters this Saturday 9 June at McDonald Jones Stadium. Kick-off is 5.30pm.

Dimi Petratos has been rewarded for his stellar A-League campaign with a spot in Australia’s final 23man squad for this month’s FIFA World Cup in Russia. The 25-year-old was named as Newcastle Jets’ Player of the Year for his role in the club’s dramatic turnaround from bottom of the table in 2016-17 to grand finalists. Petratos also shared the golden boot with Andrew Nabbout; the duo netted 10 goals in the regular season – the first time that two different players have reached double figures for the club. Nabbout, who transferred to Japan’s Urawa Red Diamonds in March, will join his former teammate at the World Cup. He warmed up for the tournament by bagging his first goal for the Socceroos during the side’s 4-0 rout of the Czech

Dr Stuart MacKenzie advertising moment

Orthopedic surgeon Dr Stuart MacKenzie can help sort out your joint problems for good. Photo (above): Peter Stoop

Get to the bare bones of your joint problems

As the song goes, the foot bone’s connected to the shin bone, and the shin bone’s connected to the thigh bone. hat’s missing from the song, though, is that the bones are all connected by joints. And sometimes, those joints can hurt. Dr Stuart MacKenzie has been an orthopedic surgeon in Newcastle since 2013, and knows all about those aches and pains. He specializes in hip and knee surgery, as well as trauma surgery. After completing a degree in medical science in 1999, he capped off his undergraduate medical training at the University of Newcastle in 2002. With the completion of his internship and residency in the Hunter Region, he was ready to start orthopedic training. After qualifying as an orthopedic surgeon in 2011, Dr MacKenzie travelled the world to further his knowledge of hip and knee surgery. Along the way, he completed fellowships in Canada and England, and worked for six months in the USA in Portland, Oregon. Dr MacKenzie performed the first robotic-assisted hip replacement at Lingard Private Hospital in October 2016, bringing groundbreaking techniques to the medical community in Newcastle. The robot has more precise movements than

a human hand, and is able to maneuver in tighter spaces than a surgeon can. When he’s not operating at Lingard Private Hospital, Dr MacKenzie can be found at John Hunter Hospital, or in his consulting rooms at Merewether and Nelson Bay. He also sees patients in the public clinic at John Hunter. Prolonged or worsened pain can often be the first sign of trouble in the hips or the knees, and joint problems such as arthritis can often prevent you from living life to the fullest. Physical activity can be limited by stiff and sore joints, and the pain can hinder sleep. Dr MacKenzie treats hip and knee issues with physiotherapy and pain relief, but when the condition can no longer be managed, a hip or knee replacement is best. “Hip and knee arthritis particularly are very debilitating problems,” Dr MacKenzie said. “By the time patients see me, they have often been in pain for a long time – sometimes even years. They may have to use crutches to walk because the pain’s so bad. “After doing a hip or knee replacement, in a few weeks or even days, they’re up and

walking around.” The best part of the job, according to Dr MacKenzie, is seeing a patient satisfied with their treatment. “Hip replacement is often described as the most successful operation ever, and patients who have really bad arthritis in their knees or hips find that having a hip or knee replacement is a life-changing event,” he said. If you’re living with sore and stiff joints, visit Dr MacKenzie and get moving again.

Meet The Rutherford Hotel’s head chef: Matthew Barry Q: Tell us a bit about yourself. A: Hi, my name’s Matthew Barry. I’m 28-years-old and have been a chef for 12 years. I’m currently the head chef at The Rutherford Hotel and have held this position for the last five years. Q: Has it always been your dream to become a chef? A: I wouldn’t say it was always my dream to become a chef; I enjoyed

The Rutherford Hotel's head chef, Matthew Barry.

helping my parents cook around the house when I was younger, but it wasn’t until I started my apprenticeship that I really found a passion for food and cooking. The more foods and flavours I got to taste and experiment with, the more I found my passion for food grow. I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else now. Q: What’s your go-to dish when you’re asked to bring something to share to a party? A: I don’t tend to have a lot of downtime to go to parties and events but when I do, my go-to is a cob loaf. They are just so versatile, and you can fill them with just about anything. They can be preprepared, reheated or served with a cold filling, so they are great for any time of the year. Q: What has been the most memorable moment of your career to date? A: I have had so many good moments in my career it’s hard to pinpoint just one. The day I got my trade certificate is a definite highlight, as well as being offered my first head

chef role. But if I had to choose, it would have to be being a part of the team at The Rutherford Hotel last year when we won the AHA award for best country pub in NSW. Q: Name one thing that has challenged you as a chef. A: Being a chef has so many challenges, and every day a new one seems to arise. I think for me personally, the biggest challenge has been learning to be patient. Things don’t always go to plan in a commercial kitchen and mistakes happen, so, for me, the challenge was learning to be patient and overcome the problems that arise in day-to-day service.

and to try and avoid the large supermarket chains where possible. You will find the produce has a longer shelf life and the flavours are much better. Apart from that, just have fun in the kitchen and don’t be afraid to experiment.

Contact Details Q: What’s your cooking tip for Newcastle Weekly readers? A: My number-one tip would be to source as much of your produce from fresh, local suppliers

The hills are alive Few films have aged as well as The Sound of Music, which is still to this day a family favourite. Released in 1965, it’s the iconic story of the von Trapp family, based on the 1959 stage musical of the same name. In 1930s Austria, Maria (played by Julie Andrews) tries desperately to become a nun. When Naval captain Georg von Trapp (Christopher Plummer) writes to the convent seeking a governess to wrangle his seven mischievous children, Maria is given the job. Unlike the string of governesses who came before her, Maria brings love and joy to the von Trapp home, which Captain von Trapp runs as tightly as his ship. Eventually, he and Maria

cover story

fall in love, but their romance is overshadowed by the captain’s engagement to a baroness and the threat of war, as Austria is about to come under German control. This is the well-known film plotline. But, what many people might not know, is there are subtle differences between the film and the stage musical, which Opera Hunter is set to explore in its forthcoming production. Showing at Lake Macquarie Performing Arts Centre from 27 June to 8 July, Opera Hunter’s take on The Sound of Music stars 50 talented performers, including John Radvan as Captain von Trapp and Rachel Davies as Maria, as well as a cast of 13 children.

Co-director Anna Lambert says one of the main differences in the stage production is the role of the baroness. “She has a much bigger presence on stage than in the film, in which she’s made out to be a bit of a villain,” Lambert says. “You start to feel a bit more empathy for her in the stage production.” Radvan adds there are more musical scores – 20 to be exact, performed by a full live orchestra.

Above all, Opera Hunter hopes to do the story justice. “The Sound of Music is just one of those stories that’s been handed down from generation to generation,” Radvan says. “The main thing, for me, is making sure it captures everything everyone expects, but also adding our own touches.” To buy tickets, visit stickytickets. com.au, or phone Mercia Buck on 4943 1672. - Georgia Osland

Children’s tale comes to life One of the most iconic children’s books of all time, The Very Hungry Caterpillar, emerges on stage in a masterful theatrical experience these July school holidays. The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show will make its way to Cessnock Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday 11 July for two performances only, at 12pm and 2pm. Based on the genius of children’s author Eric Carle, the show is sure to excite, educate

and entertain audiences, just like the book. The performance features a menagerie of 75 enchanting puppets that faithfully adapt four of Carle’s beloved books for the stage: The Artist Who Painted a Blue Horse, Mister Seahorse, The Very Lonely Firefly and, of course, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Tickets are on sale at the CPAC box office; phone 4993 4266 or visit cessnockperformingartscentre. com.au

Even the most experienced authors are susceptible to writer’s block, but the residents of Woodlands Lodge weren’t deterred by those odds. Despite not having one professional writer among them, the 15 members of the Wallsend agedcare home’s creative writing group have collaboratively self-published their second book, Lucinda and the Pharaoh’s Ruby. They describe the 33-page book as an “adventure, with a touch of crime and romance”. Set in 1920s Yorkshire England, the book is the group’s first fictional work, following the release last July of Memories In Time, a collection of poems from yesteryear. Woodlands Lodge leisure and lifestyle coordinator, Janine Warne, said residents mostly developed the plotline themselves; she merely put pen to paper on their behalf.

It took about eight months to write, with the group gathering once a week to discuss ideas. Inspiration often struck in the unlikeliest places. “Betty [Moore] and I were in the lift one day when we had the idea to make one character fall off a cliff,” Janine said. “I think [the residents] did well to come up with the story, with only a few prompts from me to help along the way.’’ But they’re not stopping at one: this book will eventually form part of a trilogy, with residents already brainstorming ideas for part two, in which Lucinda travels Down Under to Australia. Copies of Lucinda and the Pharaoh’s Ruby are available for $5 each from Woodlands Lodge reception. Phone 4951 3700. - Georgia Osland

25 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

Creative artist hub inspires community What do you get when you combine 25 designers, thinkers, makers and artists? The Creator Incubator. Nestled in Hamilton North, the project grew far quicker than founder Braddon Snape could have ever dreamed. Since opening a little more than a year ago, The Creator Incubator has expanded into a second warehouse and is almost at capacity. Snape describes it as a welcoming space where creative types – from furniture designers to book illustrators – can come together and feed off one another; to share ideas and spark conversations that motivate each other. “The big thing is the interaction with others; it spurs them on to be creative and you get that ‘crosspollination’ happening,” Snape tells Newcastle Weekly. “When you’re [working from] home on your own, you can get locked in a vacuum.” A sculptor of 25 years himself, Snape envisioned The Creator Incubator would inspire not only the artists its purpose was to support, but also the wider community. “People now know they can find a diverse range of

skills here,” Snape said. “We also hold exhibitions in the gallery space that’s for hire.” One of the artists who recently exhibited a major body of work there was sculptor Marlene Houston. Houston happily occupies some of the workshop space, and regularly showcases her work.

ROSE McALLISTER

On Sacred Ground is a reflection of four separate pilgrimages which Rose McAllister local artist and Religious Studies Coordinator was immersed in during 2016 and 2017. McAllister’s travels through Spain, France and Italy, exploring the lands of St Dominic de Guzman , gained her a deeper knowledge, understanding and appreciation for the 800 year Order of Preachers and the Dominican spirituality. Walking 200kms in the spirit of St Mary McKillop from Portland (Victoria) to Penola (South Australia) on the Aussie Camino, McAllister gained a real sense of how vast and isolated our rural Australian communities are. “Mary McKillop fought a hard fight to bring education to the disadvantaged to provide them opportunities for their future”. Her new work reflects the inspiration gained from this journey.

MAINTENANCE & REPAIR

in the garden

Turn attention to houseplants leafed plant is almost indestructible, requiring very little water, it seems to survive in any conditions. Hanging plants certainly have had a resurgence. Devil’s Ivy and philodendrons are being encouraged to grow up walls and hang from baskets. Boston ferns are also popular, but remember, they require frequent watering. My current favourite is rhipsalis; this fi ne-leafed plant will grow to considerable length inside and out. Houseplants love a sleep during winter – this means no repotting or fertilising. Plants, especially ferns displayed in heated rooms, may need a mist spray each day.

E K A T K C O T S

THIS WEEK • Give annuals – pansies, primula, poppies and winter vegetables – a boost with a foliant fertiliser. Dig around each seedling, lifting it carefully before applying. • Disbud Japonica camellias, removing multiple buds to allow blooms to open. • Check lawns for winter grass. Those pretty green tufts fill gaps but they will seed, causing huge problems next year.

Stuck inside with the wet and cold weather? Now is a great time to assess houseplants; some may need brown foliage cut, whereas that miserable Maiden Hair may need total disposal! Decor trends are continually changing, which also affects the choice of plants. For example, the succulent and cacti trend has survived for many years, no doubt because they are hardy plants. Currently, Fiddeleaf Figs, Strelitzia and rubber plants are the popular choice – it is ‘big leaf’ time. Finding the right plant for your home means seeking knowledge at the point of sale. For example, Fiddleleaf need a well-lit position, and most importantly fresh air. Note they shouldn’t be overwatered during winter. Most plants will, at some stage, require a spell outside, but not during winter. There is a small group of plants that are virtually infallible for indoor cultivation; they are syngonium, aspidestra, parlour palms, madonna lilies and kentia palms.

What is a weather proof box? For an alternative installation to a false fireplace, the Rinnai 950 & 1250 can be installed into a weatherproof box. A cavity is cut into the existing blank wall and the fireplace is installed onto a bracket that allows the back of the fire to sit outside housed in a tightly sealed box. This option allows the fire to be built into an existing wall without taking up any extra space in the room.

PICK OF THE WEEK Stardust Friday, ELEVEN, 8.30pm, PG (2007) It’s quite a leap for director Matthew Vaughn to jump from Layer Cake to this fairytale, in which he brings Neil Gaiman’s sublime fantasy novel to life. In the village of Wall, a man (Charlie Cox) goes on a quest to win the heart of his beloved (Sienna Miller), but another journey in search of a falling star (Claire Danes, pictured) is plagued with obstacles, most notably in the form of an evil witch (Michelle Pfeiffer) and a pirate (Robert De Niro). A playfully wicked and enchanting tale in the tradition of The Princess Bride.

Friday

Guardians Of The Galaxy

Apollo 13 Monday, 7MATE, 7.30pm, PG (1995) A wonderfully conceived epic from director Ron Howard, based on the amazing true story of the ill-fated 13th Apollo mission bound for the moon. It details the plight of astronauts Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks, pictured), Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) and Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon), who left for the stars on a “routine” ﬂight that went very wrong. The monster cast – Gary Sinise and Ed Harris play pivotal roles as members of the ground control team – glues together a visually powerful spectacle of large-scale emotion. A movie marvel.

Sunday, 7MATE, 8.30pm, M (2014) Featuring a colourful cast of characters played by a talented ensemble, this superhero ﬂick based on the Marvel Comics team of the same name is an otherworldly success. The plot centres around American pilot Peter Quill (Chris Pratt), who becomes the uncomfortable ally to a bunch of extraterrestrial oddballs after he steals a coveted orb from wicked Ronan (Lee Pace). But when he ﬁnds out just how powerful the orb is and the threat it could pose if it fell into the wrong hands, Quill quickly realises it’s up to him and his new alliance to save the galaxy. Also stars Dr Who’s Karen Gillan (pictured).

INTRODUCING MIKE Playful Medium Male Australian Cattle Dog. Mike is described as a playful, fun loving rogue of a boy. He is the conﬁdent leader in his litter and has the most outgoing and dominant personality. He has shown to be both loyal and protective over his humans and would do well in a home looking for those traits.

NW0276-V12

A home with another dog would suit him well so he has some company and companionship with the guidance of an older dog but he may very much suit a loving only dog home if his socialisation and training is continued.

ARIES: 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER: 22 JUN – 22 JUL

LIBRA: 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN: 22 DEC – 20 JAN

The New Moon on the 13th is the ideal time to create a new stream of income and to push ahead with plans to boost your earning power. You might have a big job to do, but you’ve rarely been so convinced that success is within reach.

Patience is needed with everyone this week, but most of all yourself. The New Moon on 13 June is the ideal time to give your finances attention; you’ll be in the mood to save and conserve. It’s also a good period for dealing with your bank manager or accountant.

The 13 June New Moon indicates other people will find you more flexible, imaginative and will be keen to help you out in any way they can. It’s also a great time for romance and new faces hold a strong attraction, which could be difficult if you’re already committed.

TAURUS: 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO: 23 JUL – 23 AUG

SCORPIO: 24 OCT – 22 NOV

The New Moon on the 13th indicates the only way you can really change your life is through close relationships. This means you can’t always be in control and need to give in a little and be more flexible. Watch that sharp tongue of yours to avoid giving offence.

The 13 June New Moon is the ideal time for mixing business with pleasure. No doubt your loved ones have heard a great deal about your co-workers and are keen to put faces to names. If you make this happen, it will help your own aspirations a great deal.

The New Moon on the 13th falls directly in your own sign making you more efficient, better organised and able to attend to your duties. Look after your energy by exercising and paying attention to your diet. You require rest and relaxation to recharge your batteries.

The 13 June New Moon could be a colourful, eventful and creative day. To capitalise on it you need to resolve any outstanding promises. The way ahead looks clearer for you, but you’ll progress faster if you deal with any obligations you started but failed to finish.

AQUARIUS: 21 JAN – 19 FEB

GEMINI: 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

VIRGO: 24 AUG – 23 SEP

SAGITTARIUS: 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES: 20 FEB – 20 MAR

The New Moon on 13 June makes everything seem sweet and light with other people and many of you will be meeting someone special. Certainly, it’s not the time to sulk at home; that special person is not going to bulldoze your front door down, so keep in circulation.

The 13 June New Moon indicates it’s time to take on new ideas. If you’re considering starting a study or training course, this is the ideal time to leap into action. Anything new will make a big impression on others. There may also be some favourable news from afar.

The 13 June New Moon introduces a more serious theme at work and you can expect to be given more responsibility which means extra work. However, don’t neglect your health; be sure you keep your regular check-ups. It will be a positive month on the job front.

The New Moon on the 13th indicates you must be ready to take advantage of the lively prevailing conditions which exist. You’ll have plenty of chances to have fun and even romance, but bear in mind you don’t need to spend a great deal of money.

The New Moon on the 13th is the ideal time to show your loved ones just how much they mean to you; perhaps there are some special plans that you and your partner have in mind and this would be the ideal time to discuss them.

SECURITY DOORS & SCREENS

Too often, conversations about “women’s business” have been confined to bedrooms, bathrooms and doctors’ offices, cloaked heavily in euphemisms. But 50% of the Australian population will menstruate at some point in their lives, and one in two women will struggle with period health. What started three years ago as a selfpublished passion project by naturopath Lara Briden, Period Repair Manual has addressed this gap, to give women the knowledge and tools to identify issues and how to seek help. RRP $29.99, Pan Macmillan.

Enter to WIN Newcastle Weekly has four copies of Period Repair Manual to give away. To enter, email competitions@ newcastleweekly.com.au with Period Repair Manual in the subject line. Tell us your name, full contact details and your favourite thing about Newcastle Weekly. Entries close and winners drawn at 9am on Friday 15 June. One entry per person. Permit No. LTPM-16-00488.

My favourite things ‘WINE CLUB’ FRIENDS

EQUALITY

It sounds like a really formal and sophisticated group, but it’s really not. The club is an excuse to catch up with my friends and drink usually average wine.

As a mum of girls, I really hope they can grow up in a world that embraces equality. I’d like to think I can make a small difference for people who are not treated fairly.

MY FAMILY

Sheena Harvey

COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES LAKE MACQUARIE CEO

Sheena is a dedicated and spirited woman who has pursued an extensive career in community development.

CALM’s current projects include family and parenting support, youth development, Top Blokes, school wellbeing programs and youth suicide prevention.

She is a dedicated wife and mother and always finds the time to volunteer. 66

HOLIDAYS There are so many beautiful places to explore. It doesn’t matter if it is two hours away, interstate or around the world, I love to escape on holidays.

I am so proud to be mum to two beautiful, caring girls Jenna and Tegan and to know I always have the support of my husband, Scott. They are my world.

SURF BOATS I have been racing surf boats since I was 16. I love the friendships, teamwork, fitness and, of course, the adrenaline rush of the ocean. After all the years on the water, it was awesome to finally get an Australian medal on the Gold Coast in 2017.
