This week...

Sometimes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. When first adopting a regular meditation practice in the 1990s, I learned about ‘riding the wave’ – a mindfulness practice where you allow yourself to be aware of the ups and downs (waves) of emotions without feeling swamped by them – like a cork bobbing in the ocean. Whatever you’ve experienced this year and whatever lies ahead, may you ride the wave, knowing this too shall pass. Reasons to be grateful this past week include a festive catch-up with relatives, celebrating with the CW team at our Christmas party, lunch with Tero, seeing a fantastic French film, Just to be Sure, with Angela, the Heart Foundation ACT Christmas party, ticking off the gift list, and Ross Solly’s insightful contributions over the past few years. Read his final CW column on page 14. Our office is now shut until 4 January 2018. We wish all our readers and your loved ones a safe and happy festive season and New Year! - Julie Samaras

news International visitation continues to grow

International tourism figures could continue to increase next year with Qatar Airways joining Singapore Airlines in February to offer direct international services from Canberra Airport. Photo: Paul Sadler.

International visitors to Canberra have reached record levels, up a further 10.2% in the past 12 months. ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the 228,038 international visitors for the year ending September 2017 contributed an additional $114.8 million to the ACT economy. The figures come from the Tourism Research Australia International Visitor Survey which indicated money spent by international visitors in the ACT

increased by 26.6% up to a new record level of $547.4 million, well ahead of the national average increase of 10.4%. The ACT was second only to Tasmania in terms of visitor growth (up 17% to the island state) and visitor spend (up 33%). Mr Barr said the ACT Government has been working hard to attract more visitors to the city, increasing marketing efforts in key destinations such as Wellington

(NZ), Singapore and China. With a 30.3% increase, China continues to be the ACT’s largest international visitor source market followed by the UK (9.6%), USA (9.1%), New Zealand (6.1%), Indonesia (4.1%) and India (3.7%). International tourism figures could continue to increase next year with Qatar Airways joining Singapore Airlines in February to offer direct international services from Canberra Airport. Australian Hotels Association ACT general manager Jo Broad said locally the hotel occupancy rates have been great over the last few months “and members are pleased to see the increase from this time last year”. “It is hard to pin point exactly where the growth is coming from but there definitely seems to be some hype around Canberra as a place to visit and members are looking forward to capitalising on the opportunity it presents, and all numbers are indicating a strong start to 2018.”

Meantime, the Canberra Business Chamber has released their first year report into Destination 2030: A Vision for Canberra, evaluating progress in categories of Connected, Agile, International, Liveable and Resilient. In terms of International, the Chamber’s assessment of progress is an A-. According to the report, in 2017/18 the Chamber will continue to work closely with the ACT Government to build strong economic, trade and tourism relationships with Singapore and Wellington. They also plan to work with stakeholders to “support investment opportunities which drive international tourism and leverage Canberra’s unique environmental strengths and access to regional areas of interest”. Examples include the capitalisation of cycle-tourism and other natural and outdoor tourism generating adventure experience opportunities.

Woden report handed down A committee report has supported proposed changes to Woden Town Centre’s zoning and planning with a number of recommended revisions. The Standing Committee on Planning and Urban Renewal’s report responds to draft variations to the Territory Plan put forward by Minister for Planning Mick Gentleman that would see changes and amendments to the Phillip precinct’s zoning. The report endorses the draft variation, but raises a number of concerns that culminated in 31 recommendations. The draft variation was opened for public comment, and received 28 responses in March and April this year. The draft variation looks to alter the look and feel of the town centre by changing the residential zoning to permit higher density 10

developments, including building heights of up to 28 storeys in some areas. It also ensures the shared active travel path along Athllon Drive and Swinger Hill is retained. In addition, it proposes amending the Phillip Precinct Code and Map to ensure future developments don’t interfere with solar access for public spaces and existing developments. The Chair of the Committee, Greens MLA Caroline Le Couteur, said the committee’s recommendations were focused on ensuring any development in the Woden Town Centre improves the amenity of the region. “The renewal of public areas and the provision of adequate and accessible social, recreation, education and cultural facilities were key concerns,” Ms Le Couteur said.

They recommend placing limitations on the use of proposed community facilities land, the provision of more green space, and the establishment of a community hub amongst other changes. They want to see more consultation and discussion between the ACT Government and developers on projects in the Woden Town Centre, particularly in regards to the provision of community facilities, and the future of the

existing ice rink and pool. They also want improved pedestrian connections between the town centre and Eddison Park and raised the possibility of including in the draft variation provisions that would allow a produce market; a nighttime entertainment precinct; adaptations for light rail and the incorporation of safe cycle and pedestrian networks. - Denholm Samaras

capital hill 2018 the year for living dangerously ou may have noticed it; Bill Shorten lived very dangerously in the Bennelong by-election and got his fingers burnt. The Labor leader thought he could establish his ascendency over Malcolm Turnbull emphatically by choosing a star candidate, Kristina Keneally and going for broke. Never mind that at the last federal election not one booth in Bennelong voted Labor, or that the Liberal MP defied the national trend by actually recording a swing to him. Labor always thought it would be a hard ask but was counting on a swing up around 8% or 9% against the government. The Dastyari “stink bomb” probably put paid to that. Labor’s parliamentary tactician, Tony Burke did a good job last Sunday morning explaining why this by-election was different to others. The most compelling difference is

John Alexander, like Barnaby Joyce a couple of weeks before, was an incumbent running for re-election thanks to the arcane demands of section 44 of the constitution. Voters in both seats did not blame the politicians for not properly doing their citizenship homework. In Bennelong there was a swing away from the government, unlike New England and Lyndsay back in 2007 when, in a similar fiasco, there was a swing to the aggrieved member. Last Saturday night, Shorten and Keneally in conceding defeat claimed a “success” for Labor. They claimed a swing of the dimension achieved, if replicated, would see Labor easily win a general election. The fallacy of that argument is the Liberals and Nationals could point to the swing in Joyce’s seat and similarly claim it points to a

Labor wipe-out. In other words, it is transparent self-serving spin. Many will be hoping that Malcolm Turnbull takes a different message from the two by-election wins and the thumping endorsement of marriage equality. And that message surely is: live more dangerously next year and reverse the disappointment in him pollsters are finding out there in the electorate. There are signs the economy is picking up though the benefits of that are yet to “trickle down”. Wages growth is stalled, household debt is rising, housing affordability is something eluding younger Australians. Turnbull on Saturday night seemed to read the result as an endorsement of everything the government is doing. Bill Shorten should continue to live dangerously – but more in policy formulation rather than setting up

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

ego-driven contests with Turnbull. As one of his colleagues privately lamented, “we did better when expectations were lower”. An election is widely expected to be held in the second half of next year. Shorten’s best allies are in the Liberal party. As Labor found in government, disunity is death. Tony Abbott is already promising to go on the attack if Turnbull reaches 30 bad Newspolls in a row early in the New Year. The Prime Minister will be hoping his luck turned in Bennelong. We will all be hoping we get lucky with improved political debate in the national interest. Happy New Year.

political capital And now, the end is here – thank you readers elcome to my final column for Canberra Weekly. As some of you may have read here last week, my job with the ABC in Canberra no longer exists, and my family and I are moving to Switzerland to take up an employment opportunity. It’s a good time to sign off. I remember writing 12 months ago about what a shocking year 2016 was, with its high profile deaths, bizarre international political results and unsavoury social issues. 2017 hasn’t been great either. It’s been a bizarre, wasted year in Australian politics, the international political scene remains unstable, and the world is not a safer place. The status quo remains in ACT politics. The ACT Liberal Party is going through a rebuilding phase, and the Labor/Green Government

continues to enjoy the kind of comfortable existence of a party who has been in power forever. It’s been an incredible privilege being able to write every week about whatever takes my fancy. I began this column many years ago, when I was presenting breakfast radio on what was then 666 ABC Canberra. During that time we’ve had a couple of ACT elections, several changes in party leadership, scandal, intrigue and exasperation, and also a bit of comedy. We’ve had three Chief Ministers during that time – Jon Stanhope, Katy Gallagher and Andrew Barr – and four opposition leaders – Gary Humphries, Zed Seselja, Jeremy Hanson and Alistair Coe. We’ve had the expansion of the ACT Legislative Assembly, the Mr Fluffy debacle, ongoing battles with the Commonwealth, and ACT Planning issues which still need explaining.

Intrigue over deals involving the ACT Brumbies, Manuka Oval, ACT gambling laws, a new convention centre, the tram, city-to-the-lake … and I’ve only just scratched the surface. So it’s been a fascinating ride. At times it’s frustrating, at times it’s breathtaking, and at times it’s infuriating. I know not everyone has agreed with everything I’ve written every week. I learned during nine years of breakfast radio, you can never keep everyone happy. Judging by the correspondence I’ve received since writing this column, there’s plenty of readers who haven’t liked what I have written. But more than anything I’ve tried to give readers an insight into what is going on behind the scenes. I’m grateful to the many people who have contacted me privately, feeding me titbits of information and providing background briefings on contentious issues. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Yes,

WITH ROSS SOLLY, A CANBERRA MAN IN JAKARTA

there have been Monday nights and Tuesday mornings (my deadline has always been early Tuesday afternoon) when I’ve had to really scratch my head, trying to come up with interesting information. But unfortunately, Switzerland is a little too far from the hotbed of ACT politics and community affairs, so the time has come to bid au revoir. I owe Nick and Julie Samaras an enormous debt of gratitude for offering me the original opportunity, and then sticking with me, even when I was a resident of Bangkok, and then Jakarta. And thank you, reader, for your continued interest and support. I hope I have been able to entertain and inform you occasionally. I’m sure our paths will cross again soon. Merry Christmas everyone.

news As the weather warms there will be an increase in people travelling between Canberra and the coast this summer with ACT Policing and the Kings Highway Road Safety Partnership urging the public to drive safely. ACT Policing and NSW Police Force will work closely to provide a coordinated approach to traffic enforcement on the Kings Highway and will actively target dangerous driving behaviours, including speeding and drug- and alcohol-impaired drivers. ACT Policing Acting Officer in Charge Traffic Operations, Station Sergeant Marcus Boorman, said the large numbers of motorists travelling on the Kings Highway will impact how you travel. “Remain vigilant, be patient and courteous and take regular breaks to ensure you and your passengers make it to your destination safely,” Sergeant Boorman said. “Road safety is everyone’s responsibility. A small accident can have serious consequences and could result in serious injuries or death.

Don’t put your life or your passenger’s lives in danger by doing the wrong thing. Be alert and remember your summer for the right reasons.” Joanne Wilson Ridley, Road Safety Officer from the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council, said to encourage drivers to take regular breaks on their journey, the Braidwood Driver Reviver are giving away free reusable travel mugs to some lucky travellers. The service will be open most weekends and public holidays over the festive period. The Kings Highway Road Safety Partnership formed nine years ago with members from Eurobodalla, Palerang, Shoalhaven and Queanbeyan shire councils, ACT Policing, NSW Police, Roads and Maritime Services and the Justice and Community Safety Directorate with the aim of reducing road trauma on the Kings Highway. The campaign will run until the end of January 2018.

Travel safely to arrive alive Best. Show. Ever. With its blockbuster Canberra run having just wound up, Canberra Theatre Centre has declared the sold out season of Mamma Mia! it’s most successful show, ever. Accompanying the show’s commercial and critical success, they also pointed out that it has generated plenty of professional opportunities within Canberra’s arts industry. During the course of the Canberra season, a number of local professionals were called in for both band and wardrobe roles on the show. Mamma Mia! producer Louise Withers told Canberra Weekly prior to opening, that many other producers would be watching how ticket sales went to see if Canberra is a viable stop for more national productions. With that in mind the idea of more big productions stopping by looks promising. - Denholm Samaras

Constructing healthy waterways A rain garden, wetland and revegetation project are just some of the works scheduled for construction as part of ACT Healthy Waterways and due for completion in mid-2018. The new rain garden will be located in parkland in Tuggeranong beside Upper

Stranger Pond and will cover an area of 5,200 square metres. When it rains, it will treat about 1,800 litres of stormwater per second before it enters Lake Tuggeranong. Another project located in Tuggeranong is the revegetation of part of the concrete channel to the north of Isabella Pond. Construction

on this project is due to start in January 2018. New wetlands are also being established in Holder, between Dixon Drive and Cotter Road. The finished wetland will cover 5,600 square metres and can contain approximately 2.4 million litres of water. Water will be diverted from existing stormwater pipes in the area to the wetlands for treatment before flowing into the Molonglo River. “Stormwater run-off is the biggest source of water pollution in our creeks and lakes, posing a risk to public health and aquatic life and threatening the many social, economic and environmental benefits our lakes and waterways offer,” Senator for the ACT Zed Seselja said. “This new infrastructure will help to reduce the amount of harmful pollutants entering our waterways, particularly when it rains.”

Lake Tuggeranong catchment was identified as a priority when planning for ACT Healthy Waterways first began. Work is well under way on two new wetlands at Isabella Pond, in conjunction with the widening of the weir. This project is on budget and scheduled to be finished in November 2018. ACT Minister for the Environment and Heritage Mick Gentleman said three more projects for the Lake Tuggeranong catchment are likely to be confirmed in coming months, along with an in-lake research project that will improve understanding of pollutant sources driving blue-green algae. ACT Healthy Waterways is a $93.5 million joint initiative of the ACT and Australian governments to improve the quality of water entering the ACT’s lakes and waterways and flowing downstream into the Murrumbidgee River system.

news Lions give the gift of ears We all know that this is the time of year for giving, and earlier this month Canberran Amanda Sullivan was gifted a truly life changing companion in the form of 18-monthold hearing dog, Daphne. It was Lions Hearing Dogs who trained Daphne, gave her to Ms Sullivan and then taught them both in her home to assist in the acclimatisation to the new arrangements. “It’s taken a bit of time for us to get to know each other,” Ms Sullivan says. Lions Hearing Dogs, a non-forprofit based in the Adelaide Hills, is the only accredited hearing dog training centre in Australia. This year they were able to deliver 19 dogs, their highest number in 10 years. The biggest influence on that number Is not demand, but funding. It costs approximately $35,000 to fully train

and deliver a hearing dog. Ms Sullivan says she applied for Daphne for independence, and an improvement in her quality of life, amongst other things. “Quite a while ago I met another deaf woman with a hearing dog, and I saw how it did a lot for her … I thought it was amazing.” Ms Sullivan couldn’t apply at the time as she already had a dog and had to wait until there weren’t any other dogs in her house. Having been deaf since birth, Ms Sullivan says her five children, all of whom are hearing, had long been her ears. “They always helped each other and helped me to interpret and be alerted to sounds.” As they’re now growing up and only two are still living with her, Ms Sullivan wants to able to live independently of them.

Amanda Sullivan says hearing dog Daphne offers her more independence, an improvement in her quality of life, and companionship. Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

Around the house, Daphne responds to various alarms and sounds, such as letting Ms Sullivan know when her laundry is done or when someone is at the door. Daphne accompanies her when she leaves the house, and the

moment her orange vest comes out, the carefully trained dog goes from at-home mode to working mode. Ms Sullivan also made a special request to note that people aren’t to pat service dogs when they’re at work. - Denholm Samaras

Kwaussie named Word of the Year

Kwaussie was used to describe Barnaby Joyce, the most high-profile casualty of the dual citizenship crisis the engulfed parliament.

A blend of Kiwi and Aussie, Kwaussie is the Australian National Dictionary Centre’s (ANDC) Word of the Year for 2017. Director of the ANDC, based at the Australian National University (ANU), Dr Amanda Laugesen, said the word came to the Centre’s attention during the constitutional crisis over dual citizenship that engulfed parliament in 2017.

According to the definition, Kwaussie refers to: a person who is a dual citizen of Australia and New Zealand; a New Zealander living in Australia; a person of Australian and New Zealand descent. Dr Laugesen said in a time of covfefe, fake news, and tweetstorms, the ANDC looked for a word of the year that is both lexically interesting and Australian. Kwaussie was chosen from a shortlist reflecting many of the events which shaped Australia’s political, cultural and social landscape in 2017. The 2017 shortlist included makarrata, jumper punch, postal survey, robodebt and WAxit. The 2017 Word of the Year and shortlist were selected by the editorial staff of the ANDC, which with Oxford University Press publishes the Australian National Dictionary of words and phrases unique to Australia.

Community projects driving change A pilot project that aims both to improve road safety and reduce the over-representation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the criminal justice system is one of seven community projects to receive support from the ACT Road Safety Fund. The Aboriginal Legal Service will receive $192,654 over two years for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Driver Licensing Pilot Project. It aims to deliver a culturally relevant program including driver instruction, education and support, designed to increase licensing rates of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in the ACT. Between June 2015 and March 2017, an estimated 12%-14% of offending in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community related to traffic and vehicle regulatory offences, partly due to a

CGGS students excel

Spreading Christmas cheer There was an overwhelming sense of Christmas cheer at Canberra’s Centenary Hospital for Women and Children on Friday 15 December as representatives from every one of Woolworths Canberra stores hand delivered gifts to young patients as part of the company’s annual toy run. Now in its tenth year, the event involves every Woolworths store in Canberra purchasing toys that are then gifted to the children who find themselves in hospital over the festive period. “We’ll have a look at the paediatrics ward, the fractures clinic … it’s a very special time for us,” store manager Craig Downs says. Mr Downs says the toy run means a lot to him and is something the whole

team looks forward to each year. “The joy that this day brings to the little children … seeing Santa and getting presents. “Words can’t describe how happy we feel, and more importantly how happy the kids feel when they get a gift and a visit from Santa.” Woolworths Canberra Group Manager Craig Hermiston reiterates that point. “We get a lot of people wanting to come along to the event … the turnout

today is phenomenal, everybody gets into it.” The 21 Woolworths stores across the ACT region brought in 196 gifts valued at $4,000 that were handed over on the day. “They range from Lego right through to iTunes cards for the older kids,” Mr Downs says. Having run for 10 years now, he says this year is by far their largest contribution. - Denholm Samaras

Cricket a family affair

Women more physically active than men

Three generations of the Axelby family (pictured) took the field for North Canberra Gungahlin Cricket Club’s 5th grade team on Saturday 9 December in a match against ANU. Playing were Denis, his son Heath and his grandson Will and, Denis’s brother Ron.

Australian women are as physically active as men, if not more, creating the opportunity to increase their participation level in sport, Australian Sports Commission (ASC) research has revealed. The ASC has released a new set of data from its AusPlay survey, the nation’s biggest sporting survey that tracks the trends of Australian sport and physical activity. The AusPlay statistics debunk the myth that Australian females are less physically active than males, although women and girls are still not participating in organised sport at the same levels as men. Research also shows that parenthood sees a bigger drop in male physical activity levels than among females. Latest statistics show 63% of Australian women (aged 15+) participate in sport and physical activity at least three times a week, compared to 60% of men. Physical health and fitness is easily the biggest motivating factor for women to be physically active (81%), but they are predominantly choosing fitness-related activities like gyms, walking and running ahead of organised sport. ASC chief executive Kate Palmer said the AusPlay data would help inform the sporting sector about opportunities to attract more females to sport for health needs.

Capital Football freezes fees Capital Football has announced that for the second consecutive year there will be no increase to football registration fees in the ACT region.

he was excited to announce the noincrease for another year and continue to improve football in the ACT region. “This is important for retaining current players and attracting new participants to football,” Brown said. “That we will be able to lift the quality of our programs and create new ones is a great sign of our investment in, and commitment to the sport at all levels moving forward.”

More than a million meals Thanks to the support of Woolworths customers in Canberra, Queanbeyan and nationally, the Woolworths OzHarvest Christmas Appeal has already raised enough funds to provide more than one million meals to Australians in need.

The Appeal continues at Woolworths until 24 December.

2 ways with: summer salads Enjoy summer and all the fresh produce that comes with it by making tasty seasonal salads. CW food writer Tatiana Gallon shares two refreshing recipes that are perfect as a side or as the star of the show.

Grilled yellow nectarine salad Recipe by myfoodbook for Australian Summer Fruits. Photography: Whisk Media Group.

1/2 cup natural yoghurt 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 Tbsp each of chopped mint and basil

Prep: 15 mins Serves 4

Combine the salad dressing ingredients in a small bowl, whisk to combine. Set aside.

200g baby spinach and baby rocket mix

Under a heated grill (or char grill) place nectarine halves or wedges and grill until softened, set aside.

1/2 red onion, finely sliced 1/2 cup bulgar wheat, soaked and strained 3 nectarines, halved or in wedges 125g buffalo mozzarella 1/2 long red chilli, deseeded and fine diced, to serve 40

Dressing

In a medium bowl, place salad ingredients with dressing and toss to combine. To serve, divide salad between plates, top with nectarines, season and serve with diced chilli.

Place the lemon segments and oil in a bowl. Break up the lemon segments with your fingers. Season with salt. Set aside for 10 minutes to macerate, and to let the acidity soften in the oil. Drain. Meanwhile, to prepare the dressing, place the sugar and vinegar in a saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, until the mixture is syrupy. Remove from the heat and stir in the chilli. Set aside to cool slightly. Stir in the lemon juice and season. Stack half the watermelon cubes in a serving bowl. Sprinkle with half the pomegranate seeds, lemon pieces, onion rings, mint leaves and pistachios. Continue stacking with the rest of the salad, then drizzle with the dressing.

time out If you had to select one of your most cherished personal possessions to represent you and to be displayed publicly, what would it be? Does something immediately spring to mind? Or would it be a tough call requiring contemplation? It’s a thought provoking question which is just a part of what both the National Museum of Australia (NMA) and the National Australia Day Council (NADC) have set out to do with their fourth annual Australian of the Year exhibition. Displayed throughout the NMA’s main entrance hall, it features a fascinating, diverse range of deeply personal objects from each state and territory’s finalist for the Australian of the Year award that immediately puts audience members in their shoes. It also makes us reflect on the remarkable stories behind the group of remarkable Australians; everyone from the prominent Johnathon Thurston, 2018 Queensland Australian of the Year, and Samuel Johnson OAM, 2018 Victoria Australian on the Year, through to other lesser-known but equally deserving nominees. These include 2018 NT Australian of the Year, Dr Bo Reményi, a paediatric cardiologist passionate about reducing the high rates of preventable heart disease in Indigenous communities, and 2018 SA

ACT Australian of the Year for 2018 Dion Devow chose his university graduation sash and a set of rosary beads, demonstrating his strong connection to both his heritage and faith.

Each object tells a story

The 2018 Australian of the Year award exhibition celebrates the eight finalists, including Professor David David AC, Dr Bo Remenyi, Scott Rankin and Dion Devow.

Australian of the Year, Professor David David AC, who has helped to transform the lives of thousands of patients with facial deformities and disfigurements. ACT Australian of the Year for 2018, Dion Devow, chose his university graduation sash and a set of rosary beads, demonstrating the strong connection he feels to both his heritage and faith. “The rosary signifies my link with God while the sash signifies my both my graduation from UC and my Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island heritage. “They’re the core of who I am … and they’re one, there’s no separation,” Devow says. It’s been a self-described ‘whirlwind’ for him since being awarded the title a few weeks ago.

NT Australian of the Year, Dr Bo Reményi, is a paediatric cardiologist passionate about reducing the high rates of preventable heart disease in Indigenous communities.

“There’s been a great reaction and lots of support,” he says. “It’ll take some time to sink in but I’ve got a whole year.” Devow was selected for the honour due to his Aboriginal-themed apparel company Darkies Design and his work encouraging other Indigenous Australians to pursue their business ideas. He says he chose the provocative business name for two reasons, to make a racist slur a proud one, and to be attention grabbing, a move he says is “good for business”. “Growing up in the NT, wherever I was, I was always one of the darkest people, which I would sometimes get teased about but was always really proud of the fact I’m black,” he says. NMA Director Dr Mathew Trinca says it’s a unique exhibition in its underlying premise, celebrating the lives of eight decorated Australians. “How wonderful is it to come to the end of the year … and to be able to celebrate achievement, excellence and contribution to our country that’s exemplified by the stories of these eight Australians. “The objects are always very personal … when you open up your lives and your hearts to others is when I think you really grow as a person, and others grow from hearing your story,” Trinca says. NADC CEO Jenny Barbour says the supplied objects provide a special insight into the lives of the nominees. “We are honoured to share the remarkable stories of eight standout Australians … their passion and their contributions to our great country,” she says. - Denholm Samaras 43

Women of Empire

Now showing Star Wars: The Last Jedi (M) The Resistance, led by General Leia Organa (Carrie Fisher), is on the run from a First Order fleet. General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) is hell-bent on destroying the remnants of the rebellion, whereas Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) is concentrating on finding and executing Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), The Last Jedi, with the assistance of his pupil Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). On a deserted island, the self-exiled Luke receives his old lightsabre from the force-sensitive Rey (Daisy Ridley). After inspecting the ancient but civilised weapon, Luke casually throws it over his shoulder and walks away … The Force Awakens served as a soft-reboot of the Star Wars franchise, designed to ‘refresh’ it to get both old and new fans on the same page. Enter Rian Johnson (Looper) who takes the story strands left open by Executive Director JJ Abrams and completely subverts everything that The Force Awakens sets up, including the Hero’s Journey which is the blueprint for the Star Wars universe. All characters face doubt over their convictions, storylines are flipped, the value of legacy is questioned with the theme of failure looming large. Luke Skywalker even tells a character “This isn't going to go the way you think”. How right he is.

To commemorate the centenary of WWI, the Dressing Australia Museum of Costume presents the Women of Empire exhibition 1914-1919 from Saturday 6 to Sunday 14 January at the National Film and Sound Archives, Acton. This unique Australian costume exhibition tells the stories of the lives of over 30 WWI women of Australia and New Zealand – because not all First World War heroes work khaki. More than half a million people have seen this touring exhibition since 2015. Tickets: $12 adult, $10 concession, $7 child (aged 8+). www.womenofempire.com

Enter to WIN Canberra Weekly has 10 x Women of Empire exhibition double passes (valued at $24 each) to be won.

Verdict: While conventions are deconstructed (and destroyed), a major character choice may be a stretch too far. Disney’s anticlimactic new ep is a self-aware brand reposition away from the old toward a new generation to extend the franchise further. JJ Abrams has some work cut out for him in ep IX. 2.5 stars.

To enter, email competitions@canberraweekly.com.au with ‘Women of Empire’ in the subject field.

Canberra-based glass artist Lisa Cahill has been commissioned to create a public artwork by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) to be displayed in France. Both the Canberra Glassworks and the DVA have announced that this artwork is to be made in glass and installed in the Sir John Monash Centre (SJMC), Australian War Memorial in Villers-Bretonneux, France. The SJMC educates international visitors about Australia and its service on the Western Front during World War I. Being a distinctly Australian centre, the SJMC is also an opportunity to showcase Australian skills in a range of crafts and materials. The work will be based on the Rising Sun emblem that frames the entrance to the Australian

National Memorial. This commission marks a successful period for Cahill, who was recently announced as the next Art Group Creative Fellow (beginning mid 2018). “It is an honour to work on this project as I grew up in a family with a long association of service to the Army,” she said. Cahill has carefully considered the styles and techniques she will employ for this piece. “For this artwork I will be working in cast glass, a process which allows for the hand of the maker to be visible in the subtle textures and brush strokes. “With colours mimicking the glow of the rising sun, I hope to represent a sense of hope in the midst of all that loss.” Cahill will travel to France in early 2018 to oversee the installation of her work.

time out Book talk

This week Jeff and Michael Popple take a look at five enjoyable summer reads.

Allen & Unwin, $29.99

This entertaining and insightful book by Andrew Street is a good one to dip into over the holiday period. Street has collected 50 pop and rock songs that have defined Australia over the past 60 years and written short, enjoyable essays on each of them. From The Wild One to Khe Sanh to I Touch Myself and last year’s Never Be Like You, he covers a range of artists and styles and finds something interesting to say about each of them. Full of amusing and astute observations and forgotten backstories, it makes for great reading.

Day of the Caesars by Simon Scarrow

Persepolis Rising by James S. A. Corey

Headline, $32.99

Orbit $32.99

In Rome 54 AD, Emperor Claudius is dead, and his stepson Nero has taken the throne. Prefect Cato and Centurion Marco return to find the city divided between sides loyal to Nero, and those seeking to crown Claudius’ son Britannicus. Both factions want the veterans on their side, and Cato and Marco may be the only ones who can avert a civil war. This is the 16th book in the Eagles of the Empire series, and sees Scarrow veer away from his usual tale of Roman military history and create a slick and captivating political thriller. Historical fiction at its best!

CENTENARY OF WORLD WAR ONE

WOMEN OF EMPIRE EXHIBITION 1914-1919 CANBERRA

A UNIQUE AUSTRALIAN COSTUME EXHIBITION TELLING THE STORIES OF THE LIVES OF OVER THIRTY WW1 WOMEN OF AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND AND SEEN BY OVER HALF-A-MILLION PEOPLE SINCE 2015

SAT 6 & SUN 7 JANUARY 2018 1 TO 5 MON 8 TO FRIDAY 12 JANUARY 2018 9 TO 5 SAT 13 & SUN 14 JANUARY 2018 10 TO 5 NATIONAL FILM AND SOUND ARCHIVES

From the distant past of Scarrow to the far future when humanity has expanded to a thousand worlds. The inner planets and the Belt are finally working together, but this peace is tentative. The exiled Laconian Empire have returned, using powerful alien technology to conquer all before them and forcing James Holden and the crew of the Rocinante into a desperate battle for survival. This is the latest book in the acclaimed The Expanse series, an epic space opera and now a major television series. Readers will be entranced by the heroic space battles, interesting characters and fast-paced plot.

Feeling is the Thing That Happens in 1000th of a Second by Christian Ryan Riverrun, $35

For those not yet tired of the cricket, this award-winning book is an interesting and engaging account of the English summer of 1975 when the powerful Australian and West Indies sides toured England to compete for the first ever World Cup. Drawing on the ground-breaking photography of Patrick Eager, Ryan paints a fascinating picture of a turning point in world cricket and of the relationship between photography and sport. With over 70 captivating photos of great moments and close-ups of the players, this is a must for cricket fans.

The Downside by Mike Cooper Head of Zeus, $29.99

Finally, heist novels always make for good beach reading and this taut tale provides plenty of hardboiled thrills, as an ex-con and his team plot an audacious robbery involving $50 million of precious metal. Fresh out of prison, old-school criminal Finn feels out of place in the age of cybercrime. When he is given one last chance to make a big score he takes it, but he has not counted on the double-dealing of his partners or the machinations of a crooked hedge-fund billionaire. Good, old fashioned criminal fun with plenty of twists and some nicely etched characters.

Red carpet renaissance Nicole Kidman has amped up the style stakes on the red carpet this year – and with Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild nominations for her role in Big Little Lies, we can’t wait to see what she wears next. Dressed to impress at the Emmy Awards in September where she won for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.

Understated chic at the 2017 American Music Awards in Los Angeles in November.

Nicole shone in the fashion stakes at Cannes in May this year with this embroidered Giorgio Armani Privé gown and relaxed look a particular highlight.

Gorgeous in green, Nicole took a risk in a Gucci sequin dress with parrot motifs at the Screen Actors Guild Awards in January.

Summertime fun To keep in the festive spirit, this week I’m giving you heaps of fun activities and exercises so you can keep active and enjoy this most wonderful time of the year.

ACTIVITIES AND TIPS Trekking or hiking • Spend 5-10 minutes walking before you head off to warm up your legs • Stretch your legs and lower back (3 minutes each stretch) Swimming • Warm your upper body up with shoulder rolls • Your legs do all the kicking, so remember to stretch your quads and do some squats • Stretch your triceps by putting your left hand on your right elbow and walking your right hand over your right shoulder down your back

Beach • From a start point, mark out four points 5m apart (20m total length); walk to the first point, jog to the second and run to third and fourth points • Try fun flag sprints with the kids • Try hopping relays (try racing each other!) • Challenge the kids to a wave jumping competition • Do a push-up challenge

Cricket • An Australian tradition! Get your mates or whoever’s nearby and turn it into a one day classic to make great memories.

Park • Have a tennis ball catching competition (the kids call it meteors). Throw a ball high, low or fast and the first to catch 10 or 20 wins! • Kick a football as far as you can from the spot you catch it (or if you miss, where the ball stops) and as soon as the other team cannot make it back over the middle mark, you win.

Fun summer workout • Walk for 5-10 minutes • Skip for 3-5 minutes • Alternate twist sit-ups (left/right) for 1 minute • Plank hold for 1 minute • Bent leg raises (raise your legs off the ground with your knees bent at a 70-90 degree angle then down again) for 1 minute • Shuttle walk/run/sprint 20m then walk back to the start

Riding • Kids love a bike riding adventure and there are awesome bike paths and tracks around Canberra. Remember: always wear a helmet!

WITH LEE CAMPBELL, CELEBRITY TRAINER, HEALTH & FITNESS PROFESSIONAL BFIRM.COM.AU

• Play an outdoor game with your friends or family for 20 minutes

TIPS • Exercise in the morning or evening to avoid the heat • If you’re on holiday in a new place, walk around instead of driving so you can discover the area • Eat fresh fruits • Make seasonal salads and try new foods • Take an afternoon nap • Always stay hydrated and wear sunscreen I’m looking forward to bringing you all the new trends and exercise styles, plus a heap of awesome workouts so stay tuned. Have a happy and safe festive season!

Keep your cool

Be our guest

The type of windows and glass throughout the home impacts the temperature inside. Stegbar Windows and Doors suggests: select a window style that will allow greater air flow – louvres are a great option for tropical climates; during the day, close blinds or curtains to keep the heat out and consider investing in blackout curtains; in the early evening as temperatures cool, open windows, blinds and heavy curtains to let the cool air in; take advantage of passive design – orient the home to take advantage of cooling breezes; invest in effective shading like eaves and trees to reduce summer heat entering the home.

Friends and relatives often arrive on your doorstep this time of year, which means your home needs to accommodate more than just immediate family. If your guest room is short on space or doubles as a home office, consider a comfortable and practical sofa bed. But if you have the space, Focus on Furniture’s marketing manager Samantha Clarke recommends choosing a queen bed rather than a single as it offers enough sleeping space for one person, a couple or siblings.

The warmer weather not only encourages us to spend more time outside, but it’s also when we’re more likely to leave doors and windows open, increasing the risk of opportunistic break-ins. ADT Security suggests conducting a security audit of your house to identify and fi x any security gaps – check the locks on windows and gates, review exterior lighting, and secure any outdoor valuables. 55

in the garden

Potted colour with Poinsettias Poinsettia, botanically known as Euphorbia pulcherrima, is a common sight in garden centres and on dining room tables during the festive season. This sub-tropical perennial shrub native to Mexico, grows around 60cm to 4m in its natural environment, and has bright green foliage and flamboyant bracts, often flaming red but also in other colours. Poinsettias are mostly purchased as short-term potted colour in cold climates such as ours, although with a little care they will prosper for many years. Euphorbia pulcherrima requires a protected frost-free area, free of wind and searing afternoon sun. Growing potted Poinsettias indoors

The bracts (modified leaves) of Poinsettias are commonly flaming red, but are also available in other bright colours.

and pestle or similar. Bandicoot potato salad: Judiciously harvest early season potatoes (when plants are flowering), cut into cubes and boil in salted water until al dente. Drain, season, and then toss with pieces of crispy bacon, whole egg mayonnaise, and seasonal chopped herbs such as dill, chives and parsley. Leafy green salad with strawberries and other goodies: Combine oven-baked kale, crusty garlic and olive oil croutons, finely sliced red onion, lettuce, rocket, strawberries (hulled and halved), and chopped fresh herbs. When ready to serve, toss with a dressing of equal quantities balsamic vinegar and olive oil; and honey, salt and pepper to taste. Optional: baby Bocconcini.

I love summer in the productive garden, and with so many goodies in season at this time of year, homegrown dishes can be a centrepiece. Here are a few of my patch-to-plate gastronomical delights: Beetroot dip: Lightly fry grated beetroot with quality olive oil, then combine it with Greek style yogurt, grated fresh garlic, and salt and pepper to taste. Smashed broad beans: Lightly fry broad beans with quality olive oil, lemon juice (or preserved lemon works well) and crushed garlic. Season with salt and pepper and smash in mortar

when I keep my potted Poinsettia outside, I sit it partway inside an old bread tin, where it functions as a self-watering pot with good results. In fact, it faces west yet still prospers. Getting Poinsettias to reproduce their synonymous cheery bracts can be somewhat hit and miss, but who isn’t up for a challenge? They require a twomonth cycle beforehand of 12 hours uninterrupted darkness at night and long sunny days – a wardrobe works well, providing you don’t need to access it of course!

in a well-lit, draft-free area during winter and outdoors in a sheltered courtyard or similar during the warmer months, is ideal. Use a premium standard potting mix and apply seasonal applications of a controlled release fertiliser, as well as fortnightly applications of a liquid fertiliser during the growing season. Poinsettias prefer reliable moisture during the warmer months and drier conditions during winter, when they become semi-dormant. During summer

Essence | A convenient lakeside lifestyle GREENWAY Anketell Street Seamlessly uniting ultra-modern glass, raw materials and lush green landscaping, Essence – due to be completed later this month, offers contemporary, industrial-style living on the sparkling shores of Lake Tuggeranong. “Essence is a smaller development compared to others in Southquay, offering only 62 apartments in total, across two separate buildings,” says Independent Property Group real estate agent, Lauren Laing. “It’s located next to The Belvedere, which is set to become an engaging, atmospheric

waterfront boulevard that will offer a sophisticated selection of new restaurants, cafes and bars. Being this close to everything means you can immerse yourself in the pace and excitement of living in Southquay, or sit back and enjoy the views from your brand new home.” Ideal for downsizers, first home buyers and live-in owners, most homes face north or east and boast full-height windows to create ideally designed, sunlit zones perfect for relaxing, entertaining or simply spending time with loved ones. The kitchens already come complete with Ariston appliances and ambient LED down lighting, and the bathrooms boast chic designer tapware and feature mosaic tiling, but buyers also have the option of purchasing additional upgrades where they please such as soft-close draws and doubleglazed windows throughout. With Lake Tuggeranong just moments away, and direct access to a plethora of running tracks, trails and other outdoor recreational activities, Essence offers an enviable lakeside lifestyle not to be missed.

PICK OF THE WEEK Paddington

Jaws

Saturday, 9GO!, 6.30pm, G (2014) The popular British bear makes his first big-screen appearance in this live-action film directed by Paul King. Those familiar with Michael Bond’s classic British kids books will know the Peruvian bear’s story, but this sweet, quaint tale provides a chance for a new generation of kiddies to follow the adventures (or misadventures, perhaps) of the teddy named after the train station where he was discovered. A sure-fire winner with young ’uns or perhaps just a nostalgic journey for older viewers.

Friday

Tuesday, PRIME7, 8.30pm, M (1975) Seamlessly transferring Peter Benchley’s pulp novel to the big screen, Steven Spielberg redeﬁned the scale of the blockbuster. Cinema history aside, despite the hype surrounding the robotic shark used in ﬁlming, the simple human fear of the unseen remains Jaws’ greatest strength, and it cleared the beaches in 1975. The dynamic trio of Roy Scheider (pictured), Robert Shaw and Richard Dreyfuss shine as they go on the hunt for the massive shark, while John Williams’ memorable score remains chilling.

The Shawshank Redemption

Sunday, PRIME7, 8.30pm, M (1994) A modern-day masterpiece, directed by Frank Darabont and based on a short story by Stephen King, in which the amazing Tim Robbins (pictured) plays a banker wrongfully imprisoned for murder who works with a lifer (Morgan Freeman) to bring undone their exploitative warden. A universal appeal and a cliché-avoiding conclusion set this tale of the human spirit head and shoulders above most prison sagas.

Ideally, Jennifer should keep money and chums as far apart as possible because they are a recipe for disaster. It is very important that she doesn’t bottle up her emotions and create greater frustrations for herself than necessary. The better alternative would be to use the energy from the planets to further improve her health. The coming year will also be an ideal time for Jennifer to embark on a new stage in her relationship with her husband.

22 December 1983

ARIES: MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER: JUN 22 - JUL 22

LIBRA: SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN: DEC 22 - JAN 20

Your powers of concentration are spot on so it’s a good time to fill in complex forms or statements. Mars in Scorpio indicates that if you have something to say, you’re not going to hold back. However, you need to do your best to avoid being a bully.

Join an organisation or group that caters for one of your interests so you already have something in common with the people you’ll meet there. Then wait to see what happens next. Mars in Scorpio indicates a need to take a philosophical attitude towards someone who is withdrawn or remote.

You’ll be putting a lot of energy into intimate relationships. You might want to spend more time than usual with your partner or a close friend simply because their company delights you. Take time to think about what these relationships give you and what you bring to them.

With Saturn in Capricorn you’ll wish to be productive at work and eager to create a convivial and pleasant atmosphere. You might even want to make amends for past issues. If you’re waiting for love to come along, you might not have to wait much longer. Perhaps you’ve already met them.

LEO: JUL 23 - AUG 23 This is the ideal time to present your ideas to your boss. You’re riding high at the moment and could hit upon some red hot ideas. Mars in Scorpio indicates your social life is about to go into overdrive. Mystical, spiritual or philosophical subjects will attract you.

Mercury in Sagittarius indicates it’s time to get to grips with your official finances and shared resources, especially if you know they urgently need your attention. Take a sober and sensible view and err on the side of caution rather than take risks or hope for the best.

GEMINI: MAY 22 - JUN 21

VIRGO: AUG 24 - SEP 23

SAGITTARIUS: NOV 23 - DEC 21

Mars in Scorpio is the ideal time for livening things up. If you’ve been rather predictable lately or stuck in a rut, think about how you can get things moving once again. Be open to other people’s suggestions and don’t be shy about doing something for the first time.

This is the perfect time to depart from tradition and branch out in new directions. In so doing you’ll attract unconventional and interesting people. Mars in Scorpio indicates your thoughts are on your career and ambitions and creating a strategy to forge ahead. It’ll pay to think laterally.

You're feeling all fired up with enthusiasm about the changes you’re considering making to your job or health. If you haven’t already done so, start putting plans into action while you’re so eager. Mars is in your second house and communication is definitely the key to success.

TAURUS: APR 21 - MAY 21 Your reluctance to say what you think disappears and is replaced with a much more spontaneous and confident persona. Mercury Retrograde could leave you feeling frustrated, but you don’t have to stay that way. Seize the chance to do something energetic, such as working off your frustrations in the gym.

SCORPIO: OCT 24 - NOV 22

AQUARIUS: JAN 21 - FEB 19 Mars is in Scorpio and social events see you shine, especially if you’re with some of your favourite people. You’ll want everyone to have a good time and will do your best to make it happen. If you’re hosting a gathering, you’ll pull out all stops to ensure it’s memorable.

PISCES: FEB 20 - MAR 20 It’s a perfect time for getting together with friends and loved ones. If you’re going to a party, you’ll do your best to be a brilliant conversationalist and to create laughter. If things have been dicey with someone you see regularly, try to sort out the situation.

PADDLEBOARD “The stand-up paddle board is a way, when I couldn’t drive the three and a half hours to the beach, I could experience water and nature on a daily basis in Canberra and keep fit.”

My favourite things SKATEBOARD

Photo Kerrie Brewer

Zack says skateboarding was his way to get to his first job “when I was way younger” and, like the other boards, are “ways for me to escape from the trials of everyday life”.

Zack Bryers

2018 ACT Young Australian of the Year

Zack Bryers has been a homeless teenager, a soldier in Afghanistan, a gridiron player for Australia, a Churchill Fellow, a youth worker and can now add 2018 ACT Young Australian of the Year to the list. He says when he was growing up there “never was someone who grew up like me that received much attention” but acknowledges his life experiences have led him to where he is today and hopes he can be an inspiration to others. Zack also believes the effect role models can have is underestimated. He says each person can have a positive effect on someone by the way they live their lives, and if you can’t walk them down the path, you can show them the way. - Allison Turnbull 146

GUITAR Zack has owned his guitar for six years but only started learning to play in June. “I looked at the time I spent on Facebook and thought ‘what if I could use that time to learn something’.”

BOOK Currently reading Freakonomics, Zack says “right now that’s one of my favourite things … I’ve always liked numbers and just different ways to look at the world”.

SURFBOARD This surfboard is a replica of the first new surfboard that Zack ever bought himself when he got back from Afghanistan. While the original was stolen, his partner sourced an identical replacement. “It allows me to go surfing, which is a great way to get away from everything.”
