This week...

From the editor A great part about this job is the knowledge or awareness you can gain from doing stories and simply chatting to people.

Being of Irish heritage (I’m probably one of the whitest people in the Hunter Region), the issue of skin care is an important one to me.

However, I often spent my teenage years living in blissful ignorance.

04 06 08 21

I thought nothing of it at the time.

Most of us know that we should apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going out and reapply every two hours (or more often if swimming or sweating).

However, I think many readers will agree that, like a lot of things in life, there’s unfortunately a thought process of: ‘It won’t happen to me.’

After speaking to Hunter Melanoma Foundation Chief Executive, Claudia Tolhurst, and listening to some of the stories during an annual National Skin Cancer Action Week, I’ve changed my lackadaisical approach – hopefully it isn’t too late. You’ll find that story on the foundation and the week of action on page 8.

news Journey to better wellbeing It’s not about the distance covered, but the journey undertaken.

A group of athletes will push themselves to the limit next month to raise awareness and funds for Lifeline Hunter and Newcastle.

The Newy 100 event will see the participants complete 100 kilometres on foot around Newcastle’s beaches and the foreshore from 24 to 25 January.

Organiser Lyndsay Walker, a former professional cricketer, says it is all about supporting a local charity and promoting mental and physical health.

“Being former athletes or involved in high performance-type things, we know how the mind and body works,” he says.

“We want to help Lifeline and help people become better and understand how we think.”

For Mr Walker, life was perfect

until he reached the age of 40.

His sporting and coaching career then ended, as did his 20-year marriage. After becoming lost, Mr Walker turned to fitness and charity work.

He says the Newy 100 event wants to focus on each person’s journey and encourages others to join in.

“They might not be that fit, but it’s about how they can be a better person or who they want to be, and then they’re inspiring other people,” he says.

The Newy 100 has already raised more than $8,000, with the funds going towards Lifeline’s telephone crisis support and face-to-face counselling services.

The charity currently answers almost 1,000 calls each month at its local call centre, which contributes to the high demands of the national

crisis line, 13 11 14. Lifeline Regional General Manager Hunter Central Coast, Julie Wicks, says its services cannot operate without funding.

She believes the Newy 100 is a perfect fit for the charity. “[The event] reflects inclusivity through offering a few ways to participate – you can do 100 kilometres, or 10, or five, or even meet us at the finish line,” she says.

“You are welcome to join in where you can to connect.

“Our mission is to equip our community with resilience and support people in times of crisis.

“That involves connecting people, which then provides hope – that’s what we’re all about.”

news Stockton branch celebrates decades of vital service Stockton Meals on Wheels has celebrated 50 years of cooking and caring in the community.

The branch, which began in March 1969, serves fresh and frozen meals to the elderly, disabled and their carers across Stockton and surrounding areas.

“We’re really proud to be [at Stockton], and to have served the old beachside community with food for vulnerable people,” Meals on Wheels Newcastle General Manager, Damien Isaacs, says.

“Over the years we have developed strong relationships and remain a part of the community.

“We’re supporting the community’s elders – people who are really important to all of us.

“We deliver meals three times a week and this means our clients

are getting a visit from someone who cares about them on a regular basis.”

Mr Isaacs says that the service is so important, but “funding has stagnated”.

Stockton is the smallest branch within Newcastle, and it has worked hard to remain open, even when under financial pressure.

Meals on Wheels Newcastle receives about $7.80 in funding for each meal and charges its clients $5 a meal. This puts the funds received well under cost, making donations vital to continue the service.

“We really need the government to up their funding,” Mr Isaacs says.

“We appreciate a donation of time – joining us as a volunteer, but, with rising food and power prices, we also really value monetary

donations.” In 2020, Stockton, along with other branches, will be launching a Cup-a-Tea initiative.

The initiative is looking to recruit volunteers to visit older community members.

“A lot of the elderly people in our community are very isolated, and we are looking for volunteers to go and have a cup of tea and a conversation with them,” Mr Isaacs says.

“We are, after all, very social

beings and often older people in the community are overlooked.”

He says that the organisation “genuinely changes lives” and it wants to encourage communities to think about the suburb’s ageing population.

Visit Newcastle Meals on Wheels’ Facebook page or call 4957 7097 if you would like to donate or volunteer.

news Melanoma not “old person’s disease” Newcastle Jets starlet Patrick Langlois has become the Hunter Melanoma Foundation’s newest ambassador as the organisation bids to increase awareness within the younger generation.

The 20-year-old was announced as its latest high-profile advocate amid the recent National Skin Cancer Action Week.

Hunter Melanoma Foundation’s Chief Executive, Claudia Tolhurst, said it was trying to get the message out to a younger audience.

“Melanoma is the most common cancer in the 15 to 39 age group,” she said.

“We’re trying to say: ‘You’re not immune, it’s not an old person’s disease, you need to protect your skin and get it checked regularly.’”

Ms Tolhurst said the foundation had focused on a social media campaign during the week of action.

One online story featured Carol Sampaklis – the owner of Milky Lane in Darby Street – who was diagnosed with a melanoma in 2017 at the age of 31.

Ms Sampaklis was playing outside with her

family when her kids noticed a black dot on the back of her ear lobe. She initially ignored it but, after suffering a pain in her breast a few weeks later, finally decided to go to her doctor.

An ultrasound did not find anything, but a skin check discovered the melanoma in her ear.

Thankfully, it was caught and removed in time.

According to Ms Tolhurst, the online campaign produced good results.

“From that story on Carol, we had a lot of people sharing it on Facebook and the responses were saying they would go and get their skin checked,” she said.

Ms Tolhurst recommends using an app called SunSmart, which provides daily updates on the ultraviolet (UV) index.

“If the UV is above three, you need to protect your skin,” she said.

“It can be a 40-degree day with a catastrophic bushfire warning and the UV can be 11.

“The next day might be 28 degrees and overcast, but the UV can still be the same.”

Cancer Council Australia has led the push for

teens to be sun smart, with new research from a National Sun Protection Survey showing one in four – or 26% – of teenagers are getting sunburnt on weekends over summer.

The survey, which compared sun protection habits of teenagers aged 12 to 17, found there had been no significant decrease in sunburn rates in the last 12 years.

More than 2,000 people in Australia die from skin cancer each year, while the cancer council estimates that the nation spends about $1 billion treating the condition annually.

City of Newcastle has brought forward planned engagement on the Newcastle and Merewether ocean baths’ pavilions following community interest in the sites’ futures.

The council sought Expressions of Interest (EOI) last month for a potential partnership to upgrade the bath facilities.

The potential redevelopments could see restaurants, recreational and community facilities, and other services introduced at the sites.

Since the opening of EOIs, many community members have expressed their concerns and called for more consultation.

Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes said the engagement was brought forward from 2020 to allow the community to provide feedback while interest was high.

“Given the interest by the

community and their recent concern around the future of the sites, City of Newcastle is bringing forward from next year its planned engagement program, allowing the community to have their say in a structured and meaningful way,” she said.

According Cr Nelmes, the council is committed to retaining the iconic exterior of Newcastle Ocean Baths, and the famous bleacher seating.

It plans to improve the amenities by providing improved shade, car parking and disability access, as well as new public change rooms with hot water showers.

Cr Nelmes said “doing nothing on these sites is not an option”.

The EOI period for the Newcastle and Merewether ocean baths closes on Tuesday 17 December. Visit newcastle.nsw.gov.au for more.

news New campaign highlights violence against women The Lake Macquarie Domestic Violence Committee has launched a new campaign to mark a global initiative and bring awareness to the community.

The annual 16 Days of Activism challenges and recognises the ongoing crisis that is violence against women.

To showcase this issue, the Lake Macquarie committee has installed 16 large footpath stickers on the cycleway in Speers Point Park.

The stickers explore the stories of 16 women who have experienced some form of violence.

“We wanted to create a campaign to bring awareness and we wanted the whole community to be able to see and interact with it,” the committee’s chairperson, Jessica Salvador, said.

“We wanted to illustrate what domestic violence involves and, through the 16 stories, we are able to share real stories from real survivors.”

Ms Salvador and the committee are hoping the 16 Days, 16 Stories campaign “gets people thinking” to realise that domestic violence is more than just physical abuse.

She said the committee had received some feedback since the campaign launched, which stated that it should focus on respectful relationships rather than just violence against women.

However, Ms Salvador believed that they “have provided as much balance as possible”.

“Ninety-five per cent of violence is against women – the 16 Days of Activism is targeted at gender-based

violence,” she said. This campaign is increasingly important because of the prevalence of domestic violence within the local community.

According to Ms Salvador, Lake Macquarie has a “high incidence of domestic violence,” with police responding to about eight call outs every day.

She added that this number tends to “increase over the festive season,

as stressors within families rise”.

The campaign will end on 10 December – Human Rights Day. If you or someone you know is experiencing violence, seek support from friends and family or call the national support line, 1800 737 732.

news Jenny’s Place stuck in limbo enough.” Mr Crakanthorp and Shadow Minister for Women and the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence, Trish Doyle, were joined by representatives from Jenny’s Place on Friday to renew their plea to the government to fund the service.

Mr Crakanthorp is concerned about what will happen to the women that Jenny’s Place assists if it closes.

“They are absolutely crucial because, unfortunately, domestic violence is very prevalent within our region and there is a high demand for these services,” he said.

“It’s a huge issue right across Australia – one woman is killed every week.” Visit jennysplace.org/ donations for more or, to sign a petition for funding, contact Mr Crakanthorp’s office on 4926 1126.

Newcastle’s Jenny’s Place Domestic Violence Resource Centre is facing an ongoing crisis.

The centre may be forced to close if it doesn’t receive funding from the State Government.

Jenny’s Place costs $300,000 each year to maintain and provides help to more than 60 women each month through counselling, safety and exit planning, and other specialised support services.

Newcastle State MP, Tim Crakanthorp, believed it was “absolutely ludicrous” that the government had not provided more support. “[It] has committed $431 million to domestic and family violence services and can’t find $300,000 for this vital service,” he said.

“What they are asking for is pocket change to this government and its response is not good

news Lions club’s great shave From humble beginnings in Australia in 2003, the Movember movement has grown to be a truly global one, inspiring support from more than five million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas and funding over 1,250 men’s health projects around the world.

The foundation is taking on the likes of prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention, with a major goal to reduce the number of men dying prematurely by 25% within the next decade.

One of its major fundraisers, Movember, encourages men to raise awareness and donations through growing or shaving a moustache each November, while women can also show their support by hosting events.

Mr Davies said the Lions club was proud to contribute to the

campaign. “Movember is special because all of the money goes towards men’s health,” he said.

“Unfortunately, that is often overlooked these days, and most men won't talk about their health issues.”

Apart from Movember, Valentine Lions Club has also supported and raised funds for other projects such

as Valentine Hydrotherapy Pool; local schools, scouts and cubs; the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children at Floraville; Cerebral Palsy Alliance at Croudace Bay; and the John Hunter Children’s Hospital.

Some had never grown a moustache before, while others did not recall what life was like without one.

Facial hair was sent flying last week as Valentine Lions Club raised a total of $1,480 for men’s health.

The fundraiser, which took place at Valentine Bowling Club, showed support for this year’s Movember campaign.

A group of eight males signed up for the challenge, with Lake Macquarie Mayor Kay Fraser also getting her hair sprayed for the cause.

Valentine Lions Club member Peter Davies said the inaugural event was a great success.

“It’s the first time we’ve ever done it,” he said.

“We’ve got an ageing male population within our membership and we thought it was about time we did something just for the blokes.”

news Experts lead study on head injuries, brain health A Newcastle-based neurological expert will lead one of the world’s largest studies into head injuries and brain health in collision sport.

The National Rugby League (NRL) has announced it will provide initial funding of $250,000 towards a Retired Professional Rugby League Players’ Brain Health Study.

The study, which is in partnership with the University of Newcastle (UoN) and the Spaulding Research Institute at Harvard Medical School, will be a multinational, multi-year program of research to transform the understanding of head injuries.

It is set to include a detailed health survey, which examines the physical, psychological, and cognitive health of former NRL players.

Principal Researcher Andrew Gardner, from the UoN’s School of Medicine and Public Health, as well as the Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), says the research will significantly progress scientific knowledge in the field.

“It will not only allow us to identify problems and immediately refer former players for treatment, but it will enable us to see former players periodically so we can examine brain health over time,” he says.

Apart from Dr Gardner, another expert, Investigator Christopher Levi, will also be heavily involved in the comprehensive study.

The Director of the Sydney Partnership for Health, Education Research & Enterprise (SPHERE) believes the research will lead to

Newcastle-based Principal Researcher Andrew Gardner and, inset, former Newcastle Knights winger James McManus.

the evolution of player safety in this area.

“There is a pressing need for a deeper scientific understanding of the reported association between concussion and longer-term brain and mental health outcomes,” Professor Levi says.

“Key questions to be answered include what level of exposure

impacts risk and can potentially vulnerable individuals be identified and thereby exposure avoided.”

In 2017, former Newcastle winger James McManus launched a landmark concussion lawsuit against the NRL club, alleging the Knights allowed him to play and train while concussed, which had resulted in brain damage.

Ben Simmons during Philadelphia’s win over the Utah Jazz this week. Photo: Getty Images

Simmons stars in Sixers’ win Former Newcastle Hunters junior Ben Simmons fell narrowly short of a triple double in Philadelphia’s 103-94 win over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday.

Simmons, who was born in Melbourne but raised in the Hunter Region, posted a line of 14 points,

nine assists and eight rebounds to go with four steals as the Sixers improved to a record of 15 wins and six losses – good enough for fifth spot in the NBA’s Eastern Conference.

Simmons’ superstar teammate Joel Embiid – 16 points – had a quiet

night, but Tobias Harris poured in 26 points to lead his side in scoring. Philadelphia, buoyed by an unbeaten record at home, raced out to a 60-42 lead by half-time and rarely looked threatened by a Jazz team that was closing out a fivegame road trip.

The victory was the Sixers’ eighth in nine games.

Simmons proved instrumental in Philadelphia’s previous win over the Indiana Pacers when he stole the ball three times in the final 13.9 seconds to help his team to a narrow 119-116 triumph.

The 23-year-old intercepted a pass that led to a breakaway dunk, while his second steal saw Harris sink two free throws.

Simmons then clinched the win by claiming an inbounds pass with 2.8 seconds left.

The Sixers take on Washington this Friday 6 December from 11am (AEST), before facing Cleveland on Sunday 8 December at 11.30am.

Substitute strikes again Teenage substitute Angus Thurgate scored for the second straight match to send Newcastle to a 2-0 win over Western Sydney Wanderers on Saturday night.

The clash was headed for a goalless draw at McDonald Jones Stadium until Thurgate pounced from close range to break the deadlock in the 78th minute.

Playmaker Dimi Petratos then put the match beyond reach eight minutes later when he tapped home an unselfish pass from Thurgate.

The win moves Newcastle up to seventh on the ladder ahead of the clash with Adelaide United this Sunday 8 December at Hindmarsh Stadium.

Kick-off is at 6pm.

ANGLICAN CARE Have you noticed your parents ageing?

The concept ‘circle-of-life’ means that, at some stage, many of us will need to assist our parents as they get older.

Trouble is, how do you broach the topic without causing fear or offence?

The challenges of ageing and the prospects of needing extra help are topics that few want to face as they move into the twilight years.

So, we tend to leave it for another day. We recommend you educate yourself on the options available in your parent’s local area and begin discussions early, before any changes in their health. Start your research today by calling our friendly team. We’re here to answer any questions you might have.

Ingredients 1 large brown onion, finely diced olive oil

200g (7 oz) good-quality milk or dark chocolate (broken into pieces)

2 cloves garlic, finely diced

1 egg

Method Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the oil, water, sugar, salt and butter into a heatproof bowl. Place into the oven for approximately 10-12 minutes until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to boil. Take out of the oven carefully and pour in the almond meal and flour a bit at a time, mixing constantly, until it has formed a ball of dough. Place the dough on a board and knead it very lightly so it is all combined for a minute and then pat it into a 22 cm (8 1/2 in) round tart tin evenly. Using a fork, dot the base and place in the oven for about 12-14 minutes or until it is golden and cooked.

Prepare your filling by simply heating the cream in a saucepan, over a low heat, and adding the chocolate pieces. Stir until the chocolate has melted. Turn the heat off and add the egg, stirring continuously. The mixture should start to look silky. Pour into your prepared tart mold and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

“We really wanted to give them a hand.”

To support farmers and drought affected families, they are asking for donations of non-perishable food items, toiletries, septic safe cleaning products, Christmas gifts for young children ranging in age from babies to teenagers, and bottled water.

Friendly fun Put on your skivvy and best dancing shoes because The Wiggles and their friends are coming to town.

They will take to the Newcastle Entertainment Centre stage with their pre-Christmas music filled show next week.

The Party Time! Big Show! will feature all their fan-favourite songs; Hot Potato, Rock-a-Bye Your Bear, E-M-M-A and Do the Propeller are four of the songs on the set list. Emma, Anthony, Lachy and Simon will explode onto stage with their friends.

Shirley Shawn the Unicorn, Wags the Dog, Captain Feathersword, Henry the Octopus, Dorothy the Dinosaur, Santa Claus and others will join them throughout the show. They will perform two shows in Newcastle at 10am and 1pm on Thursday 12 December.

Go to thewiggles.com.au for more or to buy tickets.

Rebecca said the families who received their help were usually overwhelmed, but welcomed the support.

“It’s often tears of joy and a very emotional time for both them and us,” she said.

“My highlight would have to be a delivery that we have made to a family that not only had been finding themselves having a hard time with the drought but the husband had been diagnosed with cancer and they were really very touched and extremely grateful for the help.”

She said it was amazing to see how generous people could be and that “it’s extremely humbling to be part of such an amazing opportunity to make a difference to families”.

Apart from the donations, they are also seeking volunteers.

Currently the organisation has three volunteers and, if they continue to grow and help more

families, they will be in desperate need for more people to assist in the collection and delivery of donations.

“We are from go to woe, we hand deliver the goods – there is no fear of things going astray,” Rebecca said.

“Many hands make light work; it’s mates helping mates and Aussies helping Aussies.”

The organisation cannot deliver rain, but they can deliver support and resources to help during this testing time.

Newcastle Weekly will be collecting donations for this campaign; visit our office at 19 Pearson Street, Charlestown, up until 5pm on Wednesday 18 December to drop off donations.

Christmas in the Hunter feature ADAMSTOWN PUDDING KITCHEN The origins of the Adamstown Pudding Kitchen date back to 1971, when a church member turned to her grandmother’s pudding recipe to make a dessert for a church fundraiser, in thankfulness for her brother returning safely from the Vietnam War. Since then, Adamstown Pudding Kitchen has been producing superb gourmet puddings famous for their moist consistency and full flavour.

Produced to an old family recipe in a modern commercial kitchen, Adamstown Pudding Kitchen uses only the finest natural Australian ingredients, where possible.

As a result of our tradition for quality products, our puddings have been recognised as one of Australia’s finest gourmet puddings.

The pudding kitchen is run by a group of loyal volunteers who ensure that, from June each year, the kitchen is ready to go to produce puddings ready for the seasonal rush at Christmas.

Although many people affiliate puddings with Christmas, the Adamstown Pudding Kitchen are trying to encourage people to look at puddings as an all year-round dessert, especially in the cooler months.

When you buy an Adamstown Pudding Kitchen, you are contributing to a good cause, with profits from the produce going to support a range of welfare and community programs in Newcastle, Australia and overseas. These have previously included Lifeline, and overseas projects such as the provision of fresh water in Africa, school education in the Pacific, and community development in East Timor.

The Adamstown Pudding Kitchen shop is now open for sales from Monday to Thursday, 9am to 4pm; Friday 9am to 2pm; and Saturday 9am to 1pm.

if you have the energy, sort them into sizes. Hang the largest decorations fi rst.

Emphasise the larger decorations with the smaller items. Go big or go home!

Experiment with textures. Use fabric decorations alongside shiny decorations.

Pop some fake flowers into the mix!

Lengthen the hang length of your baubles by replacing the existing string with beautiful long ribbons.

Make it personal. Create a personalised decoration for each member of the household. My mother-in-law cut our initials out of cardboard and decorated them with plastic gems. It’s a nice sentimental touch.

Tree toppers are such a personal choice.

I use the paper angel I made when I was a kid. Moths have eaten most of it, but regardless of how styled my tree is, I like to roll it out.

For a neat way to store gifts, consider reusable sacks. A few handmade velvet Santa bags under the tree will look amazing and will save you a few wheelie bins of recycling.

While some overly-enthusiastic Christmastypes may have already set up their Christmas trees, for most, early December marks a suitable time to set up your tree, especially if it’s artificial.

Looking for some inspiration on how to make your tree shine? Spotlight teamed up with Gemma Patford to share tips on how to decorate a tree that speaks to your personal style.

• Select a theme. You might like to experiment with a new idea. Once you’ve selected your theme, select your colours. Be specific, choose 3-4 colours and don’t go overboard (unless that’s your theme).

• If you’re using tinsel, always hang this fi rst.

Try and push it into the tree branches so it’s half hidden. I love how hidden tinsel makes your tree look fuller and gives it a subtle sparkle! If you opt to forgo tinsel, consider making fabric garlands out of strips of velvet. Simply braid or drape long garlands of fabric into your tree like you would tinsel.

It creates a beautiful luxurious effect.

• Sort your decorations into colours, then,

in the garden

Key to plant survival this December Here we are in the fi rst week of December when Christmas takes precedence over garden care, but perhaps not so much this year as gardens are suffering from a lack of water and some plants are even absorbing the smoke haze, causing discoloration of leaves.

The key words to plant survival are mulch, water crystals, Saturaid and peat moss around the roots of azaleas and camellias.

I fi nd sugar cane mulch ideal for my garden because when it breaks down it adds nitrogen to the soil but, doing Garden Talkback this week on 2NURFM, I did have an interesting call from one listener which I feel I should pass on to any readers adjoining bushland.

He suggested, from experience, that living in that situation, if a fi re occurs and embers are blown into mulch, this can stimulate a fi re.

He felt it is safer under these conditions that garden beds aren’t mulched close to the house – perhaps if gardens have been created near your home it would be wise to dig in Saturaid or water crystals to hold moisture in

the soil, which is necessary until regular rain fall occurs.

This brings me to holidaymakers – don’t leave for weeks without preparing. That is asking family, friends or neighbours to water anything precious.

Don’t worry about the lawn as it will soon shoot again when being watered every three days, but pots and hanging plants should be grouped in a shaded area and it will help retain moisture if you mulch with sphagnum moss or peat – having hoses nearby will encourage their help.

Now to those lucky gardeners who are staying home and not battling the holiday crowds – there is plenty of work to do as summer pests will be out with a vengeance; if the dry conditions continue, lawn pests will have a ball.

This season, gardenias are flowering beautifully considering the lack of water, which often causes yellow leaves – after flowering has fi nished fertilise with cow manure to

encourage new growth. Apply on a cooler day and water well. If gardenias are being grown as potted plants, feed with Organic Life and top up the surface with peat moss.

Preparation of garden beds for Christmas should have been completed weeks ago – if you missed the boat, quickly plant some advanced petunias and fertilise with Flourish which can be applied each week.

Now to the living Christmas tree. Last weekend, I had toddlers coming in with mum and dad to secure a live tree to grow each year with their little one. They do need a little care; position it on a saucer so it can be watered each week, possibly near a window where it can get fresh air and, after Christmas, please don’t plunge it straight out into the full sun.

More hints on this later in December.

Good Will Hunting

Friday, NBN, 8.30pm, M

The Godfather Saturday, SBS, 8.30pm, MA15+

Hitherto hanging with his Boston buddies in bars and at ball games, a run-in with the law means no more time-outs for underachieving delinquent Will Hunting (Matt Damon, pictured). Granted a reprieve (via an accidental discovery of his mathematical genius), a reluctant Will receives counselling from a psychologist (Robin Williams).

Friday

pick of the week Francis Ford Coppola’s gangster classic oozes sophistication from every pore of the late Mario Puzo’s spellbinding, multilayered story of a New York Mafia family.

Grounded with astute command by Marlon Brando (pictured), the monarch of the Corleone crime syndicate, a colossal saga of suspense details the machinations of family greed and rival opportunism.

Beauty And The Beast

Sunday, 9GO!, 7pm, PG

Belle is no ordinary Disney princess.

She reads, she fights, she tells it like it is and follows her own rules and Emma Watson (pictured) brings the right amount of grace and grit to this live-action retelling of the 1991 animation favourite.

The set and costume details are exquisite and the writers have done a marvellous job filling in some plot holes from the original.

My favourite things SuRfiNG Salt water pretty much runs through my veins. i’ve been surfing for over 20 years and can’t imagine life without it. the best place i’ve surfed is Cloudbreak in fiji but, of course, you can’t beat a good day at Merewether Beach.

My PARtNER there’s no greater thing than spending time with my wife Cass. We’ve been together three years and, like surfing, i can’t imagine life without her!

Joel Pilgrim

WAVES Of WELLNESS fOuNDER

Joel Pilgrim began Waves of Wellness (WOW), a surf therapy charity that delivers innovative programs for people experiencing mental health challenges, in 2016 with his wife Cass Vujovich-Dunn. He believes surfing has the power to transform lives, and to positively impact our mental health and wellbeing. His vision is for a world where the stigma around mental health issues is washed away and, more importantly, where people struggling can find support and pathways to recovery. Before founding WOW, Joel was a Mental Health Occupational Therapist who worked primarily with young people experiencing First Episode Psychosis. He grew up in Caves Beach and studied at the University of Newcastle. Joel is passionate about helping people, giving back to the world, and of course, the ocean, which he says he would live in if he could.

the world would be a better place if we all took the time to give back, even in the smallest of ways. As someone once said, if you think you’re too small to be effective, you’ve never been in bed with a mosquito!

tRAVEL i love to explore and, when i travel, i dive deep in and experience everything. i’m itching to get to the Cook islands but finding the time to get away is the challenging part.

MuSiCALS i have a soft spot for the creative arts and can often be heard whistling a show tune. When i was younger, i had to make the choice between creative arts or surfing on a Saturday morning.

Needless to say, i chose surfing but, as the song goes, Que Sera, Sera...

It makes perfect sense.
