This week... From the editor Continuing on the theme of biting off (perhaps) more than I can chew this year, I’ve signed up for City2Surf. That’s right, I – the girl who’s only very recently established a five-day-aweek functional training regime – am going to take on a leisurely 14-kilometre fun run through scenic Sydney, about two kilometres of which comprises of the notorious Heartbreak Hill (the name says it all). I read in an online forum that the easiest way up said hill is to “run like you stole something”. Wise words I hope will fuel me. I’m certainly not the only Novocastrian who will be pounding the pavement – our inspirational cover star, Rachael Howard, will be amongst the pack, too. Probably much further ahead, I suspect. All of this will take place on Sunday 12 August, not 48 hours after I have abseiled down the face of McDonald Jones Stadium in the Leaders Leap fundraiser for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. Oh dear. A hearty thank-you to the staff at Ribs & Burgers Charlestown for hosting me and my partner, Luke, for a complimentary lunch last weekend ahead of the store's opening on Monday. I highly recommend the sweet potato fries – again, this from the girl who keeps volunteering for strenuous activities. - Georgia Osland

news Fragment of WWI to be unearthed A time capsule buried beneath Lambton Park Memorial Gates during World War I will be unearthed on its centenary. While local men fought at the Western Front, their mothers, sisters and wives raised funds to build the memorial gates in recognition of the soldiers’ bravery and patriotism. On 19 October 1918, a foundation stone was laid at the gates, with a glass time capsule placed underneath. The contents reportedly include a newspaper, coins, a list of the names of Lambton councillors at the time and the 30 women who banded together to fund the gates through bazaars, dances, operettas, concerts and euchre parties. Community historian Robert Watson, a member of the Lambton Residents Group, says the time capsule is of great significance. “Between about 1850 and 1920, placing time capsules in, or around, major buildings happened on occasions, but they were soon forgotten,” he tells Newcastle Weekly. “The thing that struck me most about these memorial gates and the capsule was that the

gates were fully-funded by the Lambton Ladies Welcome Home Committee. “They ran fundraisers for over two years, sometimes [organising] three events per week. “The gates have the names of around 130 men who went to WWI, of which about 30 didn’t return. “We can see their names and remember them forever. “But, in my mind, the capsule adds a new dimension to the Anzac story because it contains a list of the 30 ladies who did the fundraising.” Newcastle council has unanimously backed the Lambton time capsule project, with councillor Andrea Rufo a major supporter of the push to organise a public ceremony. The ceremony, which is expected to include the burial of a new time capsule, will take place at the memorial gates in October. It is hoped the contents of the 1918 capsule can be carefully preserved and placed on permanent display, potentially at Newcastle Museum. A heritage and engineering assessment, undertaken by Newcastle council, found the

time capsule’s removal would not damage the heritage-listed memorial gates. Meanwhile, Mr Watson is also trying to find descendants of the Lambton men named on the gates’ pillars.

news Air quality a top priority John Tate knows “people get frustrated at times” as two groups work to provide insights into air quality and environmental issues in the Hunter Region. The former Newcastle lord mayor, who held the position from 1999 until his retirement in 2012, chairs both the Newcastle Community Consultative Committee on the Environment and the Upper Hunter Air Quality Advisory Committee. He said quarterly reports from the NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) helped the groups keep track of air quality, while an online monitoring system offered up-to-date data. “We are an advisory committee – not one that sets policy,” Mr Tate said. “The most we can do is advise the EPA and OEH on what we think

ought to be done.” Mr Tate believed last month’s dust haze in the Hunter Valley, caused by strong winds in South Australia that crossed drought-stricken farms and swept the east coast, highlighted the need for greater awareness on air quality. “It’s quite amazing – people don’t realise that [dust] can travel that far,” he said. “You might think, how could what happened [in South Australia] affect anything here? “Dust levels have gone up in the Upper Hunter, but it’ll go back down.” The Newcastle committee was formed in 2011 following a significant pollution incident on Kooragang Island. Since then, it has taken on a more proactive approach to environmental issues of concern to the community.

Some of these issues include erosion at Stockton Beach, coal dust pollution, water quality in the Hunter River and Newcastle harbour, as well as noise in the Port of Newcastle. The presence of per-and-polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at Williamtown and illegal dumping have also been discussed. “We mainly deal with air quality, but we can’t live in a vacuum – we’ve

got to know what’s going on around us,” Mr Tate said. “The EPA knows they can’t just ignore the community and I don’t think they want to.” Information on air quality in the Newcastle area is provided via monitoring stations. Visit environment.nsw.gov.au/ aqms/aqi.htm to access data. - Ben Murphy

news Mayor primed for gaol time It will be a slightly eerie and cold experience, but community members are set to sleep rough at Maitland Gaol this month for a worthy cause. The inaugural Vinnies Community Sleepout, which will take place from 6pm on Thursday 30 August, aims to raise awareness of disadvantaged and homeless people in the Lower Hunter area. St Vincent de Paul Society’s key programs focus on supporting those who require financial assistance, disadvantaged or vulnerable youth, people experiencing or at risk of homelessness, and people living with a disability or mental illness. Vinnies provided more than $250,000 in financial assistance throughout the Lower Hunter area over the past year, including about $109,000 in food vouchers

for people struggling to make ends meet. Maitland mayor Loretta Baker, who was the first to sign up for the sleepout, said she greatly admired Vinnies’ work. “I’ve been working in partnership with them in health for the last 18 years,” she said. “Long before homelessness was a part of everyday conversation and newspaper headlines, St Vincent de Paul was working as a homeless service, so I have a huge amount of respect for them. “[Vinnies] came and saw me when I became mayor and I thought: ‘This is great to have this in Maitland because they’ve been working and delivering services here.’” For more than a decade, the charity’s Hunter Homeless Conference has supported the

residents of Maitland’s Coachstop Caravan Park, in partnership with Maitland Dungog Community Health’s on-site health service. Vinnies volunteers strive to provide emotional support to those isolated in the community and offer homemade cakes to help develop trusting relationships with the residents.

In summer, when van temperatures can reach 50 degrees, volunteers hand out swimming pool passes as another form of assistance. If you’d like to donate, register or share the event, go online to nswvinniescommunitysleepout. gofundraise.com.au/page/Maitland - Ben Murphy

news Runner ready for marathon challenge Rachael Howard isn’t running from what life throws at her – rather, she’s facing it in a positive, and healthy, way. As a teenager, Rachael didn’t know how to handle the loss of several people who were close to her. “I kind of went off track a bit and my mental health really suffered,” she tells Newcastle Weekly. Fast forward a decade, and the now 28-year-old has turned to running to achieve her goals. “By being active, getting outside and connecting with the country, I was able to get back on track,” Rachael says. “I want to show people that mental illness doesn’t define who you are, and that physical activity can have a positive impact on your health.” The Thornton local aims to spread her message through the

Indigenous Marathon Foundation – a health-promotion charity that uses running to celebrate Indigenous resilience and achievement, while also creating inspirational leaders. The foundation’s Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) is a non-profit initiative that trials 150 Indigenous runners from across the country, 12 of whom are selected to compete in the 42-kilometre New York City Marathon on 4 November. Rachael, a Burraburra woman, was selected in the 2018 IMP squad earlier this year. Each member receives six months of training ahead of the world’s largest marathon, which attracted more than 98,000 applicants in 2017. Education is a compulsory part of the IMP program. Participants must undergo a Certificate IV in sport and recreation, a Level 1 in recreational

running coach accreditation through Athletics Australia, and CPR and first-aid qualifications. After crossing the finish line in New York, the squad members become IMP graduates and are empowered with a renewed sense of self-belief. Rachael says she has been training hard since learning of the important initiative. “I went to the Forster Running Festival last year and there was a big group of runners from the Indigenous Marathon Project up there,” Rachael says. “I thought: ‘I want in on that’, because I’ve seen how running affects me so positively and I wanted to show our community that this is such a great thing to be a part of. “I’ve been training six to seven days a week; we’re also doing the City2Surf [on 12 August] and then

news Relief on way for farmers The state government has announced a $500 million Emergency Drought Relief Package this week to support embattled farmers. The three major elements of the package include: about $190 million for drought transport subsidies; approximately $110 million for cutting the cost of farming fees and charges by waiving Local Land Services rates, waiving fixed water charges in rural and regional areas and waiving class one agricultural vehicle registration costs, among other initiatives; and $150 million to bolster the Farm Innovation Fund (FIF) infrastructure program. There is also funding for counselling and mental health; critical services in regional communities, including transporting water and droughtrelated road upgrades and repairs;

and animal welfare and stock disposal. Parliamentary secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, praised the announcement of the package. “[It] follows a successful NSW Farmer’s Conference in Sydney, where the premier committed to remain in contact with the farming community,” Mr MacDonald said. “It is important farmers don’t self-assess their eligibility.” Farmers are being urged to speak with the Hunter Local Land Services via 4930 1030 or the Rural Assistance Authority on 1800 678 593. The NSW Rural Assistance Authority will start processing applications from Monday 6 August. Visit droughthub.nsw.gov.au for more information on the relief package.

news Drug trial for ice addiction A world-first clinical trial to treat people with ice addiction is now underway in the Hunter Region. The study will test if a high dosage of lisdexamfetamine – an existing drug used for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) – is effective in reducing methamphetamine (‘ice’) use, cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Hunter New England Health (HNEH)’s director of drug and alcohol clinical services, professor Adrian Dunlop, said Australia had one of the highest rates of methamphetamine dependence in the world. “We’ve consistently seen methamphetamine users presenting for treatment over the past decade in Newcastle and the Hunter region,” he said. “While counselling is quite

effective for many people with less problematic methamphetamine use, we currently don’t have a proven medication treatment for severe methamphetamine dependence. “Dexamphetamine has been used as a treatment for methamphetamine dependence with some initial promising results”. Professor Dunlop said lisdexamfetamine was a slowrelease form of dexamphetamine, with a slower onset of action, and was metabolised by the body in a way that was very hard to be used non-medically. “If you crush up the drug and inject it, you are not going to get a rush because it still has to be turned into dexamphetamine in your blood,” he said. For more, phone HNEH on 0428 464 820.

sport Late try sinks valiant Knights

World’s fittest lie in weight Hunter athlete Judith Tynan has flown to the USA to take part in a competition that boasts some of the fittest men and women on earth. The 55-year-old mother and business owner from Chisholm, Maitland, is one of only 20 athletes from around the world to qualify in the 55-59 category for this year’s CrossFit Games. Tynan dominated the qualifying workouts to secure her spot at the Games, placing seventh overall. “I’ve had my eye on qualifying for the last few years, so this is a huge achievement for me and I’m very proud to be representing Australia,” she said. “Everyone who does CrossFit knows how hard it is to get to this level.” No stranger to elite fitness,

A late Gavin Cooper try saw North Queensland snatch a 20-18 victory over the Newcastle Knights. Newcastle led 12-0 after just 10 minutes on Friday night and was still in front 18-6 with half an hour left on the clock. However, the Cowboys stormed home to score three unanswered tries through Coen Hess, champion halfback Johnathan Thurston and Cooper to record their fifth win of the season. The Knights tackle Wests Tigers this Friday 3 August at McDonald Jones Stadium from 6pm. CrossFit Games competitor Judith Tynan.

Northstars claim crucial wins

Tynan represented Australia in touch football and completed an ironwoman, as well as several triathlons, before deciding to join CrossFit Origin in 2013. Tynan trained multiple times a day, six days per week to prepare for a series of unknown events at the Games. The CrossFit Games, which are taking place in Madison, Wisconsin, wrap up this Sunday 5 August. Visit games.crossfit.com for updates.

The Newcastle Northstars returned home with two crucial wins from a double header in Melbourne on the weekend. The Northstars had slid down to fifth in the AIHL rankings prior to the clashes against the Mustangs and Ice. Crowd favourite Zane Jones, back from a five-week injury, netted a hattrick on Saturday as Newcastle claimed a 6-4 win over the Mustangs. On Sunday, goals to Sammy Banga, Rob Haselhurst and Sam Lawson saw the Northstars lead the Ice 3-1 after the second period. However, the hosts slotted two goals past Newcastle goaltender Dayne Davis in the third period to send the match to a shootout. Davis then stopped two of the Ice’s three shots, handing Newcastle another vital victory. The Northstars take on league leaders Canberra Brave at Hunter Ice Skating Stadium this Sunday 5 August from 4pm.

We can develop a care plan together that’s as individual as you are. We also offer solutions for those waiting for a Home Care package and for those who haven’t yet been assessed.

Capsicum and feta dip Makes 1 medium serving bowl Ingredients 1kg (about 4 or 5) red capsicums 150g Danish feta 1 tsp sea salt

FODMAP-friendly bites According to the federal government’s healthdirect website, as many as one in five Australians will develop Irritable Bowel Syndrome in their lifetime. One way to alleviate symptoms is through a low-FODMAP diet – the acronym given to a group of foods known to cause gas, bloating and pain.

Once the capsicums are cooked, transfer them to a bowl and cover them with a tea towel, to encourage them to sweat. This makes them easier to peel.

Method

1 litre (4 cups) lactose-free full cream milk 370 g (1 cup) caster sugar

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease an 18cm square baking tin.

Base 50 g (½ cup) almond meal 120 g (1 cup) tapioca flour 75g butter 2 Tbsp light brown sugar 1 egg Caramel 100g butter 1½ Tbsp light brown sugar 1½ tsp sea salt Chocolate topping 200g dark chocolate, roughly chopped 1 teaspoon plain tasting oil (like vegetable, castor or grapeseed)

Freshly-ground pepper, to taste

Cut your capsicums in half and remove the seeds before placing them skin-side up on the baking tray. Put in the oven and cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on how big your capsicums are. Their flesh should be softened and their skin blistered.

To make the condensed milk, put the cream and sugar in a large saucepan over medium heat and cook on a low boil, whisking intermittently, for 1 hour–1 hour 20 minutes. It should first turn a grey colour, before eventually thickening to a brown, condensed-milk consistency. Be patient with it and keep watching. It might take longer than specified, or it might take less time – it depends on the cream and the cooktop.

Condensed milk

Pinch of dried chilli flakes, to taste

Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with baking paper.

Low-FODMAP salted caramel slice Ingredients

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method

Recipes extracted from FODMAP Friendly by Georgia McDermott. Available now, Macmillan Australia, RRP $34.99.

Serves 8-10

Juice of 1 lemon

Once cool, peel the capsicums and add the flesh to your food processor along with all the other ingredients. Pulse until you achieve your desired dip consistency. Taste and adjust for seasoning and flavour, before storing in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To make the base, put all the ingredients into your food processor, and process until everything is combined. It will be a sticky paste of dough – transfer it to the fridge to firm up, if need be. Remove the dough from the processor and use your hands to gently press it until the mixture comes together. Scrape the dough into the greased tin and, using swift movements or lightly-oiled hands, use your palm to press the dough evenly into the tin. Use a fork to prick a few holes in the pastry base, then put it in the oven for 10 minutes until lightly coloured and slightly puffed up. Set aside to cool. To make the caramel, melt the butter with the brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk constantly, allowing the mixture to darken and begin bubbling, and then add the salt and condensed milk. Continue whisking for several minutes until thick and dark before removing from the heat. Once the caramel has cooled slightly, pour it over the cooled biscuit base. Transfer to the fridge, to chill and solidify completely.

Hooi’s Recipe

Once the caramel has set, make the topping. Melt the chocolate (using whichever method you like, I use the double boiler method), and stir in the teaspoon of oil (this will help make it easier to slice later). Pour the chocolate over the caramel layer, working quickly but gently to spread the chocolate evenly before it starts to harden.

Some of the Best food in Newcastle cooked by well-known chef Ooi Seng Hooi

Return to the fridge until the chocolate has solidified (about 1 or 2 hours) before slicing and serving.

A musical smorgasbord There are myriad offerings to suit a spectrum of tastes at the 2018 Newcastle Music Festival. Smoke, Glass and Mirrors – Musical Subterfuge will officially open the festival on Friday 3 August at Adamstown Uniting Church. The third concert in Twilight Musical Dialogues’ Musical Luminati series, it promises to reveal a hidden world of music in codes, personal signatures, love declarations, political intrigues and descriptions of friends, woven cryptically into music. Continuing her commitment to bringing emerging young talent to the stage, flutist Sally Walker introduces 13-year-old Tobias

Reimann, who has been playing cello since the age of five. On Thursday 9 August, Ray Chen, who, according to the Washington Post, “can do pretty much anything he wants on the violin”, takes the stage with his

regular recital partner, acclaimed French pianist Julien Quentin, at Newcastle Conservatorium’s Harold Lobb Concert Hall. Later in the festival, on Saturday 18 August, again at Adamstown Uniting Church, Deborah Humble presents an opera masterclass from 10am to 12pm. Love opera or hate it – no one can deny that it is one spectacular way to sing.

Ladies pull off publishing coup Can too many cooks spoil the broth? Not in this case. You’d be forgiven for thinking five authors is a few too many to collaboratively pen a novel. But Sydney-based scribes Jenny Crocker, Jane Richards, Jane St Vincent Welch, Denise Tart and Maddy Oliver managed to pull it off, and land a book deal. The Painted Sky, published in 2015 by Penguin Random House, was threeand-a-half years in the making.

It started with a weekend away in the Blue Mountains. The BookSluts – who’d named themselves so because, as a book club, they’d read just about anything – had gathered to discuss Crime and Punishment. Set in the Russian snow, one friend quipped that they ought to be reading the novel on the Trans-Siberian railway. One thing led to another, and, as all bright ideas are formed (over vodka), before they knew it, the five women had resolved to write their own novel, under the pseudonym Alice Campion. All of the book’s major characters were developed that afternoon, Tart tells Newcastle Weekly. The plotline started out as a Mills & Boon-style romance, and evolved into a quintessential Australian family drama with a driving love story. “We just wrote what we would want

Denise Tart, Jane St Vincent Welch, Jane Richards and Jenny Crocker are Alice Campion.

to read,” Tart says. And, if you’re envisioning the five authors writing together in the same room over the years, that wasn’t the case. “We’d come up with scene suggestions together and we’d each go away and write one,” Tart adds. “Then, we’d swap and read over them. If you had an issue with something, you’d have to bring an alternative to the table. That’s how we dealt with conflict.” The book was a roaring success, and, in 2017, the Alices (minus Oliver), published their second novel, The Shifting Light. “By then, the process was almost

seamless; we just knew Alice’s voice,” Tart says. Alas, the fact that a book club pulled off such an unlikely publishing coup – not once, but twice – still perplexes many. Well, good news for Hunter Region bookworms: the Alices are hosting free author talks at Rutherford Library tomorrow (Friday 3 August) from 6pm, and at Speers Point Library on Saturday 4 August from 10am, to answer all your burning questions.

This year we will see some great young talent performing dance routines, up-and-coming singers, judo demonstrations, a marching band, magician, and more. Also, keep an eye out for a special visit from none other than Ronald McDonald himself after the grand parade near the McDonalds stage.

Have you ever stopped to think about how much water you use? Stopped to turn the tap off when brushing your teeth? Stopped to water your garden in the evening instead of during the day? At Hunter Water, we’re constantly thinking, researching, and investing in ways to help preserve this precious resource. We’re working with some of the nation’s brightest minds to find ways to help reduce how much water we are using here in the Hunter. For more than 125 years, we have been providing water and wastewater services to the Lower Hunter, but after a dry summer, and not as much rain as we’d hoped for during this winter, our dam levels will drop quickly. By 2036, our region will have grown by up to 180,000 people. Whilst our community’s water needs are currently being

in the garden

Feeding time in the garden August has arrived, which is feeding month, prior to spring. Let’s begin with citrus, which is often grown in large pots. Container-grown citrus is fertilised differently than groundgrown plants. Do not use granulated citrus food, as this can cause defoliation. Use a pelleted product and water well on application. Regular fertilisation with a water-soluble product will also help to produce fruit. Citrus growing in the garden should be fed with poultry manure, out under the drip line, not close to the trunk. The soil should be watered prior to application and again afterwards.

ICEBERG STDS IN STOCK

NOW!

A couple of weeks later, follow up with citrus fertiliser, using the same method, out under the drip line and water as with the poultry manure. This winter has delivered many frosts, even to coastal areas, so wait until the frosts are over before pruning roses. Don’t prune climbing roses at this time of year, but certainly fertilise to give you a summer flush. Standard roses should be pruned back to a soccer ball size and bush roses need any dead wood removed; a heavy prune at this time won’t hurt. After pruning, spray with lime sulphur, which attacks scale and prevents fungal and scale attacks for several months. Note this can’t be sprayed once growth has started. Apply a bucketful of poultry manure to each rose, followed three weeks later by a handful of granulated rose food.

Like citrus, pot-grown roses should be fed with a slow-release pelleted product. Sasanqua camellias need attention now they have fi nished flowering – trim any dead growth and, if espaliering, prune off frontal growth to encourage side cover and give them a kick with cow manure. It is wise to cover the root’s surface with peat moss in preparation for the heat of summer. August jobs include deadheading Japonica camellias and fertilising with cow manure – again, container-grown plants are treated differently. Use a slow-release fertiliser and regularly apply a water-soluble product specifically for camellias and azaleas. In a nutshell, this entire month should be used for fertilising.

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

Natives prefer blood and bone; acidic-loving plants such as gardenias and murrayas like cow manure; but when in doubt, use a neutral product. Most importantly, don’t fertilise lawns until they are actively growing or else the grass won’t absorb the fertiliser. Wait until you have mown. Don’t count weeds on this occasion – they should have been sprayed by now. If grass is growing and requires the mower, then fertilise and topdress if needed.

August 3 – 9

PICK OF THE WEEK A Dangerous Method Friday, SBS, 11.10pm, MA15+ (2011) Cult director David Cronenberg (Crash) continues his move away from bodily horror in this sumptuous period piece about the birth of psychoanalysis. Using the controversial methods of Sigmund Freud (Viggo Mortensen), psychiatrist Carl Jung (Michael Fassbender, Shame) treats disturbed Sabina (Keira Knightley, pictured), when she is brought to his Zurich clinic in 1904. Cronenberg examines the complex relationship between the scientists, exploring themes of repressed sexuality, with emphasis on dialogue.

Friday

The Martian Sunday, 7MATE, 8.30pm, M (2015) Matt Damon (pictured) heads to space to play botanist Mark Watney, an astronaut who must survive alone on Mars after being left for dead by his crew during a ﬁerce storm on the Red Planet. With only a meagre amount of supplies, the stranded spaceman must use his wits and spirit to ﬁnd a way to survive on the hostile planet. Meanwhile, back on Earth, members of NASA and a team of international scientists, led by Jeff Daniels, work tirelessly to bring him home.

Frida

Wednesday, SBS, 1.50am, MA15+ (2002) Director Julie Taymor (Across the Universe) brings Salma Hayek’s longtime pet project to life, with an Oscar-nominated Hayek playing the role of admired Mexican artist Frida Kahlo over a 30year period, with particular attention to her marriage to fellow painter Diego Rivera (Alfred Molina, pictured with Hayek). A heavyweight cast (Geoffrey Rush, Edward Norton, Ashley Judd) supports a surprisingly nuanced turn from Hayek in this solid biopic.

INTRODUCING STEM

NW0276-V20

Stem is a 4 year old brindle male currently available for adoption. He loves pats all over, and shows his appreciation for your attention by leaning up against you and giving your legs a good rubbing kind of a massage.

URGENT

Currently Stem lives with some greyhound foster siblings, who he loves to bits – in his new home he would love a canine buddy for company. He also lives happily with two small human siblings, who are 2 and 4 years old. Being such a gentleman, he would be a perfect companion for a young family. As well as being a big smoocher, Stem is a fan of food! He is already well toilet-trained, and is picking up some new cues. Stem also loves a walk – he walks on a lovely loose leash at a nice pace, and enjoys a bit of a sniff along the way rather than viewing walks as a race to the ﬁnish line. Foster carers urgently needed. You get support and you don’t pay vet or food bills. Contact Janette on 0438 551 576

Contact MDRE Today Ph 4967 2004 www.mdre.com.au www.markdowling.com.au www.ratemyagent.com.au

STARS STARS WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

For personal readings, phone Francis on 9673 6321. Credit cards welcome. Francis Bevan direct 1902 264 063 or 24 hour line 1902 267 040 $5.50 per minute (higher pay-phone or mobile)..

Dealing with younger people and children will be important and Jessica is going to adopt a more youthful attitude, possibly enjoying sporting activities and other fun pastimes. She will embark upon creative pursuits that are close to her heart; there will be a strong desire to create something which will stand the test of time. Travel will be important to her, but as well as being a joy, proves something of a trial. Romance will be in the air and there will be some special times to remember.

ARIES: 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER: 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA: 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN: 22 DEC – 20 JAN

Focus your attention on work, as it’s unlikely to get by without some confusion manifesting itself. While you may not care for a colleague’s attitude, you still need to do your best to avoid misunderstandings. This is also a great time to be involved with creative pursuits.

Your mental energy is certainly increased by the planets; you may be drawn unexpectedly to cheekiness and are likely to be impulsive in speech and writing. You may have the ability to study and put long-made plans and ideas into action. Energetic, intellectual conditions are looking good.

The Sun is in your 12th house so be sure to take time out for yourself and avoid making contact with workmates because even over the phone you could find yourself in the middle of a disagreement. What your next move should be will become apparent in the near future.

The emphasis is on everything connected with foreign affairs, travel and higher education over the next few weeks. Should you be considering a new training course, then this is the ideal time for leaping into action. What your next move is needs to be considered seriously at the moment.

TAURUS: 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO: 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO: 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS: 21 JAN – 19 FEB

There could be some great news about your job and you could receive the recognition that you have been working for. Even if that doesn’t come to fruition, there are signs that there will soon be more money coming your way via your job.

This could be a dynamic and happy month. Although it’s true those grandiose ideas can cause wasteful spending, luckily with your heightened intuition and imagination, you’ll be able to express your ideas and attract support. The planets favour wise handling of money, with security front of mind.

The Sun has just moved into the earthy sign of Virgo and for you, this represents the area of life connected with teamwork, club activities, friends and contacts. Friends will be very supportive, so if you need any favours, this is the time to shelve that Scorpio pride and ask.

The planets are certainly making it a useful time for those of you who are either employed or want to deal with people connected with banks, large institutions, insurance companies, the tax office or officials in general. This is a time for facing the music rather than dodging the issue.

GEMINI: 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

VIRGO: 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

SAGITTARIUS: 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES: 20 FEB – 20 MAR

You seem to want to take charge of everything and everyone, especially other members of your family. This may be for their own good as you see it, but try to avoid riding roughshod over their wishes. Children or young people will be bringing you a great deal of joy.

A good sense of timing and an enterprising spirit will help you to make progress and restore confidence. Expect recognition for imaginative ideas which you apply well during the year ahead. With Mars in your sign, you’ll be surrounded by enthusiastic minds bursting with ideas.

The planets are focusing your energy on furthering your career. You want to be top dog, but don’t forget to look at the needs of those who are offering you real support. Be confident and think positively, but do try hard not to tread on other people’s toes.

The Sun in Virgo puts you and those closest to you in an emotional and sensitive mood. Cooperation with others should be your top priority over coming weeks. It’s a time when you should learn how to share, not only your possessions but your thoughts and feelings too.

Barnardos Australia urgently needs shortterm foster carers for local children in need. We provide support, training and a generous tax free allowance of $1050 per fortnight. Call us today.

My favourite things FAMILY With my mum being one of 15 children, there was never a shortage of family around growing up. Time spent with any family member is precious and needs to be enjoyed.

SPORT I’m a bit of a sports tragic. My favourite teams are the Boston Celtics in the NBA and of, course, the incomparable All Blacks (it’s in my DNA).

WALKING THE DOG Izzy, our Shih Tzu-Toy Poodle cross loves joining me for a walk along Bagnalls Beach, although she has way more energy and personality than I do.

Paul Ellmers

A GOOD WINE

NEWCASTLE WEEKLY GENERAL MANAGER

Paul Ellmers is what’s known as a KLIO (Kiwi Living In Oz). When he first visited the Hunter while hosting a group of VIP clients for a Fairfax NZ newspaper, Paul thought: ‘What a great place this would be to call home.’ A few years later, when the opportunity arose to move here, there was little hesitation. Having spent what seemed like a lifetime working in newspapers, experiencing the many ups and downs within the industry, he considered his media days behind him. However, when the chance to be involved with Newcastle Weekly came along, Paul knew he wanted to be part of what he deemed the print media future – a unique magazine for a unique region. 66

A glass of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in summer (Wairau River being my favourite), and McGuigan Hunter Valley red in the cooler months helps me unwind at the end of the day.

THE BEACH Living at Port Stephens, I am spoilt for choice. Most summer weekends are spent swimming, having a picnic and relaxing at one of the nearby beach havens.
