This week...

Please indulge my sharing this sweet quote which came my way last week: “… real happiness isn’t something large and looming on the horizon ahead, but something small, numerous and already here. The smile of someone you love. A decent breakfast. The warm sunset. Your little everyday joys all lined up in a row.” – Beau Taplin While it’s exciting to have something special to look forward to – a highly anticipated holiday, major purchase or significant milestone – it’s beneficial to recognise the beauty in little things. A home cooked meal. The scent of sunshine in linedried laundry. Snipping fresh herbs from the garden. Stop to smell those roses. Reasons to be grateful this past week include an uplifting afternoon and fun company at Hartley Lifecare’s Mad Hatter’s high tea and fashion parade (where, amusingly, my handmade fascinator crudely fashioned from a placement, disposable chopsticks, a faux flower from Vinnies and superglue took out the best hat prize); ‘placemat fascinator’ inspiration via Pinterest; a nourishing curry lovingly prepared by and shared with friends, followed by Luminous – the Australian Chamber Orchestra’s extraordinary crossartform collaboration with acclaimed singer-songwriter Lior and photographer Bill Henson; gold-lipped clouds suspended in a melon sky above the blue Brindabellas; the bell-like call of a Crimson Rosella; and the creamy deliciousness of a ripe Australian banana. Some little everyday joys to savour … - Julie Samaras

Climate scientist Dr Sophie Lewis is the 2019 ACT Scientist of the Year. She will use the $30,000 prize money to develop programs for ACT secondary students to develop their interests in climate change. Image supplied.

Dr Sophie Lewis named ACT Scientist of the Year A night spent stargazing with her parents when she was just five years old was the catalyst for climate scientist Dr Sophie Lewis to pursue a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). On Friday 9 August, Dr Lewis was named the 2019 ACT Scientist of the Year, recognised for her work regarding weather extremes and how climate change contributes to events such as

bushfires and droughts. “We know when it comes to how climate change is affecting extremes, like our heatwaves, it can be a really big issue in terms of human health or our natural ecosystems like the Great Barrier Reef,” Dr Lewis said. “The work that I’m planning on doing in the future is looking at how bad it could get, what is the worst that we should be preparing for and how can we be planning

now so that we’re most resilient and most adaptable in the future.” Dr Lewis is a senior lecturer and research fellow at UNSW Canberra who received her PhD in palaeoclimatology in 2011 from the Australian National University. She is also a member of the team producing the latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report. Dr Lewis “wanted to be a scientist since I was five years old and my parents took me out stargazing one night”. “As I went through university, I became really interested in climate change because it’s such a big problem that we’re all going to face in the future.” Minister assisting the Chief Minister on Advanced Technology and Space Industries, Mick Gentleman, said Dr Lewis’s award is well earned. “Dr Lewis’s research has fundamentally changed the scientific community’s knowledge of Australia’s climate extremes by filling critical gaps in global knowledge. Her innovative approach is now being used by the World Weather Attribution project,” he said.

“As part of this research, Dr Lewis developed a method to accurately, reliably and quickly analyse the connection between extreme weather events and climate change. She then used this approach to analyse the impacts of climatic events, including the Great Barrier Reef bleaching in 2016.” The ACT Scientist of the Year award celebrates Canberra’s emerging scientists and aims to inspire young people to consider a career in STEM. “As ACT Scientist of the Year, I’m excited to be more involved with school groups and visiting a wider range of schools and age groups. Canberra’s students are incredibly passionate and socially engaged on issues such as sustainability and climate change,” Dr Lewis said. “I will also be using the prize money ($30,000) to develop programs for high school and college age young people in Canberra to develop their interests in climate change and empower them help us make positive action on climate change. This will invest in our young people and allow them to teach their peers elsewhere in Australia.”

Pedestrian injured in light rail collision A 61-year-old man was hit by a light rail vehicle near Barry Drive, Acton at approximately 9.12am on Monday 12 August. The man was transported to hospital in a serious condition after being treated on the scene, while the tram was left with a smashed windscreen. This is the second recorded incident involving a pedestrian collision with a light rail vehicle in Canberra, with the previous one taking place during pre-testing. Transport Canberra Light Rail Operations Director Ian McGlinn said the incident was shocking. “The member of the public has moved across from the western side toward the eastern side and 10

come across the alignment, where the vehicle has come into contact with them. “The circumstances at that pedestrian movement is people walk with their back to the alignment and then turn right to come across the light rail alignment there. “The emergency brakes were applied by the driver of the LRV; on this occasion the pedestrian has continued his movement across the alignment.” Mr McGlinn said the driver was shaken by the accident. They were relieved of their duties and underwent counselling at the light rail depot in Mitchell. ACT Ambulance Service Duty

Officer, Operations, Steve Mitchell said the man who was struck suffered numerous serious injuries, including to the head and chest. “Prior to the arrival of the ambulance service, we had an off-duty ACT paramedic who witnessed the incident, and she provided first aid while the ambulance service was on its way. “Our intensive care paramedics are trained for all these circumstances, and the patient has received excellent care,” Mr Mitchell said. A compilation video was released earlier this month by Transport Canberra of near hits and misses with motor vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists that

featured at least 10 incidents. Mr McGlinn said the incident served as a timely reminder, especially as it occurred on the first day of Rail Safety Week (12-18 August), an annual community awareness initiative across Australia and New Zealand. This year’s theme is: Rail safety – it’s everyone’s responsibility. “We can’t be complacent in any way, shape or form as we interact with the light rail as we see people’s lack of respect for their own personal safety in their movements around rail,” he said.

capital hill Business is business My maternal grandfather was for decades a wine merchant and bar owner in Melbourne. In later years when my grandmother would chide him for spending too much time at work and not at home with her, he used to say “business is business”. In fact, in his Italian accent he would say: “The business is the business.” Over the past two weeks when we have seen the debate over where Australia’s best interests lie with the United States or China, my grandfather’s defence of his domestic absences came to mind; particularly the slap-down of Liberal backbencher Andrew Hastie by two of the government’s most senior ministers. Finance Minister Mathias Cormann and Attorney-General Christian Porter not so coincidentally like Hastie are also West Australians. Both ministers also have strong ties

with Andrew “Twiggy” Forrest, the multi-millionaire mining magnate who exports billions of tonnes of iron ore to China. Of course, he is not the only West Australian to do big business with China; Gina Rinehart comes readily to mind. In fact, Australian business generally has taken a very dim view of a return to the cold war rhetoric that the Chinese embassy in Canberra accused Hastie of using. In an eye-catching opinion piece late last week, Hastie warned that Australia had missed the switch in China’s thinking. He compared this to the way the French missed Nazi Germany’s mobility around the ring of steel – the Maginot Line – set up to protect France against invasion. China is playing a long game in the region, he wrote, and unless we change our thinking, “choices will be made for us. Our sovereignty, our

freedoms will be diminished.” But Hastie, the son of evangelical Christian missionaries in China and former SAS captain in Afghanistan, did not spell out what our changed thinking should lead us to. Hastie’s dire warnings weren’t appreciated for their “radical oversimplification”, according to Porter. His Nazi analogy was “clumsy and inappropriate”, according to Cormann, “and detracts from an important conversation”. The Prime Minister defended the backbencher’s right to express his opinion but said the government is “very well aware of the complexity of the world in which we live and we’ve fashioned our policies to address that”. Those policies see China not only as a key to our economic growth but as a “partner” in developing the Asia Pacific. What other choice is there? Cold war warriors like the late BA

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Santamaria criticised the Menzies Government for selling wheat to “Red China”. If Menzies and subsequent governments heeded him, Australia would have been a much poorer place. Our trade and relationship over 50 years or more has not lessened our freedom or sovereignty; Christian Porter says Hastie is wrong to say it now will. That view will certainly be welcomed in business circles. But it is not a naïve one. The AttorneyGeneral says the government will rise to any efforts to diminish our sovereignty or influence our democracy as it has in the past.

On the right track for Rail Safety Week Canberra’s light rail service has been taking passengers for almost four months now. While many Canberrans are still getting used to interacting with it as passengers, pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, some basic education and training around rail safety could prove beneficial. Rail Safety Week 2019 has come on line at the

perfect time in 2019, and is here from 12 to 18 August, acting as a platform reminding everyone to be alert and vigilant near light rail. The ACT Rail Safety Week ambassador is Vanessa Low, a German-born Australian trackand-field Paralympian. In June 2006, at 15 years of age, Vanessa was involved in a serious rail incident that left her a double leg amputee. “I was on my way to see friends and waiting on the platform, waiting for the train to arrive, which is very usual in Europe, you catch a connection basically every day,” she told Canberra Weekly. “People were really excited to get on the train first and get a seat, so the crowd was really pushy and at the very last minute before the train arrived I got pushed and fell in front of the approaching train.” Vanessa said the key to rail safety is being alert and aware when you’re in close proximity to the tracks. “The light rail is a very new thing for Canberrans … and I think people are still adjusting to the difference it makes on the road. “The biggest issues are people not being in the moment or focusing on the job at hand. They’re being distracted, and distraction is the biggest

casualty on the road and I think it’s one of the biggest causes of casualty in the rail system. “It may not necessarily have an effect just on you, but on other people. And in my case on my family, on my friends, and there were a lot of people who had their lives changed forever because of that one small second that you can’t take back,” she said. Following her accident, Vanessa spent around six months in hospital, a couple of weeks in a coma and had severe injuries to not just her legs but the rest of her body, too. “Being here today, being healthy and living a very full life, I’m very grateful,” she smiled. “But in saying that, that accident could have been very easily prevented because it was literally for nothing; it was for people not paying attention and not being aware of the situation.” Since recovering, Vanessa has embarked on a remarkably successful athletics career that she said was never planned on when she started training. “The intention was to just get back into life, see what my potential is and see what I could get out of it ... It shows the power of choice that we have, the power that nothing that ever happens to us really determines our story. (continued page 16)

cover story (from page 14) “For me it meant creating a very successful sporting career, and creating something I’m very proud of and look forward to showing off to my kids one day,” she said. Vanessa won Gold in long jump and Silver in the T42 100m sprint while representing Germany at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio. She gained Australian nationality in June 2017. Canberra has so far seen a few near misses, a vehicle collision, and a serious accident involving a pedestrian on Monday 12 August, at the start of Rail Safety Week; all of which serve as reminders that it’s everyone’s duty to be alert and aware of all potential hazards when in close proximity to light rail. Rail Safety Week is an annual community awareness week held in Australia and New Zealand designed to engage the community in safe rail practices. Now in its fourteenth year, this TrackSAFE initiative aims to create a heightened awareness of the importance of rail safety.

Rail safety tips For motorists: • Always obey traffic lights and road signs. • Never queue across the tracks. • Check blind spots, particularly to your right, before crossing light rail tracks. • Perform U-turns only where U-turns are signed as permitted. • Exercise patience when waiting at traffic lights. For pedestrians and cyclists: • Be alert; limit distractions such as mobile phones and headphones when walking or cycling near or across light rail tracks. • Only cross the tracks at designated walkways. • Stay behind the yellow line at the light rail stop prior to boarding. • While travelling on board a light rail vehicle make sure you hold onto something if you are standing and exercise courtesy towards others. • When getting off the light rail, look to make sure the road is clear when exiting the stop, and only cross the tracks on a green pedestrian signal. • If you are concerned about your safety or the safety of others on board a light rail vehicle, please use the Emergency Help Point on platforms and on board to contact staff.

After losing both legs as a result of a rail incident 13 years ago, Vanessa Low embarked on a successful athletics career, which included winning Gold in long jump and Silver in the T42 100m sprint while representing Germany at the 2016 Summer Paralympics in Rio.

A unique take on seniors living LDK Healthcare has unveiled their $250 million seniors living project in Greenway, with a unique take on the “typical” models of retirement living and aged care. In a joint venture with Cromwell Property Group, Brisbane-based LDK Healthcare is repurposing the Tuggeranong Office Park on Athllon Drive, the former home of the Department of Social Services, into a seniors living village. LDK’s CEO Byron Cannon said one of the cornerstones of LDK’s offering is their “one move promise”. “If you move in with us, you won’t have to move into a nursing home,” he said. “We provide all of the care that you need, all the way through to end of life, but in the comfort of your own home. You move in and live with us, and we have 24/7 nurses and carers, so when you

Eatery caught dumping waste A Canberra restaurant has been fined $875 by the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) for dumping oil and grease into a storm water drain. The Garema Place restaurant was fined after the EPA undertook audits in May 2018 and November 2018, which focused on kitchen maintenance, clearing facilities and points of

entry into stormwater. Dumping oil and grease down stormwater drains pollutes the waterways, and can result in dying fish, algae overgrowth and unsafe swimming conditions in creeks, lakes and rivers. Members of the public can report pollution to the EPA by contacting Access Canberra on 13 22 81.

Government seeks feedback for light rail stage two The ACT Government is seeking feedback from businesses in City West prior to the start of construction for light rail stage two. The Government says it wants to develop a better understanding of trading hours and peak operating times, customer access and service offerings, signage and marketing considerations, delivery, waste management and parking logistics, general awareness of light 18

rail and how best to communicate with businesses. The call for feedback comes after a number of businesses in Mitchell said they were struggling during the construction of stage one of the light rail project, with some suggesting it hit them harder than the 2008 global financial crisis.

Over the next three to four months, Canberra man Marc Nieuwenhuys will undertake a 2,400km solo kayak journey spanning the entire length of the Murray River. Photo: Rohan Thomson.

Local man to put himself in a lonely place A 2,400km solo kayaking trip, three to four months long and spanning the entire length of the Murray River without any support crew sure does sound lonely. Imagine it. Just yourself, the

water, and a picturesque backdrop. That’s the journey Canberra man Marc Nieuwenhuys will be undertaking later this month, in an effort to help people talk about their depression. He’s called his expedition

Talking about a Lonely Journey. “It still seems odd to me that depression is such a lonely journey, and I’m going to put myself in the loneliest position you can be in,” he said. “I really feel drawn to that loneliness to really put it in its place.” He said the main motivator for him is to get people to start talking about their struggles. “Depression is very lonely; you feel like you’re alone and it makes you feel that way, so you don’t reach out to people. “What I’ve learned over the last six months of this journey is I’m not alone and I’ve never been alone.” The idea came when Nieuwenhuys was out kayaking the Murray River with a group of his mates. They passed a sign nailed to a tree with the number 2198 on it, not knowing what that meant until one of his friends said it showed how many kilometres away from the mouth of the Murray they were.

“I just went ‘Oh, I’m gonna do that’, something on that day just happened on the water and I made the decision I needed to so something in my life to make changes,” he said. Since making that decision, telling his close friends and family, and then going public with it, Nieuwenhuys has been inundated with supportive messages from over 100 people. “It has had a huge impact, and it’s reached a lot of people to the point where I’m spending a couple of hours every morning responding to messages. “I think I’ve done and achieved a lot in my life, but I’ve never experienced anything like having an impact on people like I am at the moment, and that’s profoundly moving,” he said.

Detector dogs join AMC Two new drug detection dogs have joined the ACT Corrective Services K9 Unit at the Alexander Maconochie Centre (AMC). Two-year-old New Zealand Huntaway Doug and 18-month-old Australian Kelpie Luka have been brought in to strengthen the K9 Unit’s ability to detect and intercept illicit substances before they enter the prison.

Get curried away With the final days of winter upon us, keep warm with two super simple curry recipes brought to you by CW food writer Libby Kimber.

Light butter chicken Image and text from The Healthy Slow Cooker by Ross Dobson, photography by Jeremy Simons. Murdoch Books, RRP $35. Serves: 4

1 Tbsp ground coriander

Prep: 20 mins

1 Tbsp garam masala

Cook: 4.25 hrs

1 Tbsp sweet paprika

750g chicken thigh fillets

5 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed

1 brown onion, chopped

2 Tbsp tomato paste

3cm piece ginger, chopped

2 tsp chicken stock powder

2 cloves garlic, chopped

400g can crushed tomatoes

1 large green chilli, seeded and chopped

1 Tbsp cornflour

1 Tbsp olive oil

To serve

1 Tbsp butter

Brown basmati rice

½ tsp chilli powder

Handful roughly chopped coriander

1 Tbsp ground cumin

Lemon wedges

1 cup (260g) natural yoghurt

Heat your slow cooker to high. Trim off all the fat from the chicken thighs and discard. Cut each thigh in half, or into thirds if large, bearing in mind that they will shrink as they cook. Refrigerate until needed. Put the onion, ginger, garlic and chilli into a food processor and process until you have a chunky paste. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the paste and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the liquid from the onion has evaporated and the paste looks dry. Stir through the butter and cook for a minute until the butter has melted. Stir in the chilli powder, cumin, coriander, garam masala, paprika and cardamom pods. Add 2 tablespoons cold water and stir to incorporate any stuck-on bits. Stir in the tomato paste and stock powder, then scrape the contents of the frying pan into the bowl of the slow cooker. Add the crushed tomatoes, cornflour, yoghurt and chicken. Give everything a good stir, nudging the chicken into the sauce, then cover and cook for 2 hours. Give it a stir, then quickly cover again to avoid losing too much heat. Cook for a further 2 hours, until the chicken is very tender and the sauce is thick. Serve the butter chicken on brown basmati rice, garnished with chopped coriander and with lemon wedges on the side.

Beef and green pea curry Recipe by Mitsubishi Electric ambassador, Ed Halmagyi mitsubishielectric.com.au Serves: 4 1.2kg chuck beef, sliced 1 Tbsp ghee 2 brown onions, finely diced 12 cloves garlic, minced 10cm piece ginger, cut into fine batons 1 Tbsp garam masala 24 curry leaves 2 long red chillies, seeded and finely diced 1 Tbsp fish sauce 500ml coconut milk 1L beef stock 1 cup green split peas, rinsed Fry the beef in ghee in a large saucepan over a moderate heat for 5 minutes, until browned, then set aside. Sauté the onion, garlic and ginger in the saucepan for 5 minutes, then stir in the garam masala, curry leaves and chillies. Pour in the fish sauce, coconut milk and stock, then return the beef. Simmer for 1½ hours, add the peas, then cook for a further 1 hour until the beef is tender.

Declan Shrubb said making 2015’s Me and My Mates vs the Zombie Apocalypse is one of the highlights of his life despite its technical challenges, and his band took that attitude into making their new album. Sanguineti Media.

Pleased to Jive You formed in 2005 at Caroline Chisholm High School, and have since gone on to make and perform original music, culminating in their debut album Whitman’s Peak. Photo Aaron King.

Whitman’s Peak scales new heights After forming in high school some 14 years ago, their debut album has been a long time coming, as they’ve prolifically made and performed original music in the interim. And over the last few years, Pleased to Jive You have embarked on an impressive journey comparable to the one they’ve chronicled in their latest album, Whitman’s Peak. The album was made in its entirety by the band over the course of 18 months, with the guys managing all their own recording, mixing and production. “It’s basically a concept album in that it tells a big sprawling story, and every song is a different

chapter in it,” Shrubb says. Whitman’s Peak is about a bunch of characters who live in a town in NSW that’s based at the bottom of “an Everest type mountain”, and basically these guys are inspired by the town hero who first conquered the mountain and put his flag up there. Since forming at Caroline Chisholm High School in 2005, Pleased to Jive You has comprised Shrubb on guitar, Morgan Quinn on lead vocals and guitar, Jarrad Stewart on drums and Jim Nguyen on bass. With a self-described sound resembling “an eclectic blend of progressive jazzy funk rock”,

Whitman’s Peak enabled the four-piece to experiment with genre, often using it as a storytelling device. “You have some songs that are a lot more dramatic; there’s a point in the album where the guys trip out and there’s a psychedelic song. “A couple of them go missing, they lose a few members of their team so they do a campfire sing-along ode to the guys they’ve lost.” Shrubb said their goal with Whitman’s Peak was to tell a full story, and then connect music to it. “It was a long slow process; we wrote a lot of the music and then started playing it live to really hone the songs down while we were developing the story,” he said. “It just developed into this story where the music and the lyrics are both a part of it, and some of the story is just told instrumentally. “After about a year we realised we had enough material to flesh it out into a 12-track album.” Shrubb’s creative career spans beyond music; he’s an accomplished filmmaker, having completed many short films, all of the band’s music videos, and written/directed the 2015 featurelength horror/comedy, Me and My Mates vs the Zombie Apocalypse. “Coming from a film background, and doing narrative stories, and working with the guys in the band we do a lot of video stuff too, so with this it was like ‘could we tell a feature-length film through music?’,” he said. They started working on

Whitman’s Peak shortly after wrapping up production on Me and My Mates vs the Zombie Apocalypse, with all Shrubb’s bandmates having been involved in that project. “We came back really interested in storytelling through music, before that we had just written standalone songs and tried to tie them together usually through the production of the project or some musical motifs.” Starring Jim Jefferies, Alex ‘Shooter’ Williamson, and Greg Fleet, the dream opportunity to make the film came up for Shrubb when he was 22 years old. He says the main thing he took away from the project it is to enjoy it while you’re in it. “I’ve now learned that regardless of the stress you have in any major creative project, you still have to be able to recognise at the time how great it is to be able to do something like that. “Whenever I look back … I really am filled with a lot of joy and happiness, and at the time I might have thought I never wanted to do anything like it again. “But in hindsight, you look back and it’s the highlight of my life, so we took that attitude into making this album,” he said. Pleased to Jive You will have an album launch show for Whitman’s Peak at The Polish White Eagle Club, Turner on Friday 16 August 7.30pm; trybooking.com/520657 - Denholm Samaras 37

a wonderful thing. Surely he’d be thrilled we still adore him over 450 years later. How does this stage adaptation differ from the 1998 film? I haven’t seen the film recently but I think that the play works like magic on stage. It is about the nature of theatre and about people who are passionate about language and poetry so it feels like it belongs on the boards. I think our version of the play may be a little kookier than the film! What was the first Shakespeare play you acted in and what do you remember about it? Macbeth. Being very young and trying to get under the skin of a woman who is manipulating her husband to knock people off was quite an exercise. Questing what was driving her fascinated me. When she eventually goes mad I felt great compassion for her. Shakespeare is very clever at fiddling with your moral compass.

There is so much trust and respect involved in building and sustaining a great show. How do you think William Shakespeare would feel about Shakespeare in Love? I think he had a wicked sense of humour and no doubt was desperately in love at one time or another. So I suspect he’d be proud that we are taking a stab at giving audiences a show bursting with fun and romance. I think making Shakespeare accessible to contemporary audiences is always

Now showing Late Night (M) Katherine Newbury (Emma Thompson) is an acclaimed, but overly elitist and abrasive talkshow host who is facing being axed. In an attempt to revamp her show, Katherine has Molly Patel (Mindy Kaling) recruited to her writing staff, as a “diversity hire”. Whilst not as popular in Australian culture, the den of late-night shows is a stalwart in the American television landscape. With a set format, traditionally starting with a monologue of daily news and events and entertainment guests fulfilling their media obligations, a slew of late-night shows would go on to compete for the top spot. The movie takes this setting to comment on workplace diversity, sexism and the #MeToo movement. Molly is the catalyst introduced to a white male workplace, sparking

a chain-reaction of diversity that enables Katherine to reach a modern audience. While written and produced by Kaling, it is Thompson’s hilariously harsh and quickwitted demon boss who steals the show. With grace, poise and an acidic tongue, Katherine makes us both cheer and wince with her approach to life: while resisting the changing entertainment landscape that caters to the lowest common denominator, she shows that she has lost touch with modern audiences. Enter Milly who, with a background in a chemical plant, can identify and comment on weaknesses in Katherine’s approach. Verdict: With fantastic performances from the leads and well-rounded characters, the movie would have been stronger if it had landed a clear message. Great fun. 3 stars. - Luke McWilliams

time out Book talk This week, Michael Popple looks at an emotional historical adventure from an inspiring Australian author. You can find more of Michael’s book reviews on his blog: unseenlibrary.com The Collaborator by Diane Armstrong HQ Fiction, $32.99

In Budapest in 1944, Miklos Nagy makes a desperate deal with Adolf Eichmann to save thousands of Hungarian Jews from the Nazis. While his gambit pays off, it will have unforeseen consequences for both himself and the fledgling country of Israel. Years later, in 2005, Australian journalist Annika Barnett sets out on a journey to uncover what happened to the man who saved her grandmother’s life. But what she discovers is a heartbreaking tale of love and betrayal as she attempts to work out whether Nagy was a tragic hero or an infamous collaborator. Written by Diane Armstrong, a Holocaust survivor who emigrated to Australia in 1948, The Collaborator is an intense drama that cleverly utilises the story of a notable historical figure. The character of Nagy is closely based on the controversial Rezsõ Kasztner. This man’s life and eventual downfall makes for a fascinating read that Armstrong does an exceptional job of examining in this excellent novel. The story is split into three separate timelines including: the events in Hungary in 1944, Nagy’s infamous trial in 1950s Israel and Annika’s journey of discovery in 2005. I really enjoyed the way that Armstrong chose to tell this story, as it not only allows for three cleverly interconnected and dramatic storylines but also shows the long-term impacts of some of the various character’s actions. The uncovering of Nagy’s entire story in the 2005 storyline really adds some emotional punches to the book, and it resulted in some intriguing examinations of a number of historical events from World War II and the formation of Israel, as well as a look at contemporary Israel and Hungary. Guaranteed to hook you with its powerful and emotive journey back into a turbulent history, The Collaborator is a superb and compelling novel that comes highly recommended.

Tradies Health Month We’re right in the middle of Tradies Health Month, and a local audiologist is urging tradies to be mindful of their hearing and look after their ear-health. Specsavers audiologist Jai Gowder says tradies should take note of the following tips to make sure they protect their hearing: • Insist on wearing hearing protection. Everyday equipment such as lawnmowers and power tools may be loud enough to impact your hearing. • Reduce the number of different noises at any one time. Simultaneous conversations, power tools and a loud radio can place undue strain on the ears. • If noise is a concern for you, raise it with your manager. Follow the ‘one metre rule’: if you need to raise your voice to talk to someone one metre away, you can assume the sound level could be hazardous to hearing. • Get your hearing checked every two years or sooner if you notice any changes.

It seems New York City is the place for neon! Supermodel Bella Hadid was spotted in July, pairing her white outfit with neon green heels and sunglasses.

Blake Lively is not afraid of a coordinated neon look. The A Simple Favour star was seen in New York last year in head-to-toe neon green.

We couldn’t just include one Hadid sister! Bella’s older sister and fellow model Gigi Hadid shows us how to wear neon orange, pairing a Ralph Lauren polo with some epic shiny pants at New York Fashion Week.

Just another pill: the risks of polypharmacy As you’d probably expect at a wellness centre, we have a lot of very health conscious clients. One of the benefits of taking care of your health seems to be that, in comparison to the norm, many of our clients are on very few, if any, medications, even at a ripe old age. Unfortunately, it’s much more likely for older people to be on multiple medications for the common ailments of our times such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or depression, just to name just a few. In 2017, 28.5% of older people, or around 1 million Australians, regularly took five or more medications. That figure, according to a recent joint study by UNSW and University of WA, found that the number had jumped by 52% between 2006 and 2017, despite the well-established evidence that polypharmacy (taking more than five medications concurrently) places people at a higher risk of harm. That’s not to say well prescribed medication isn’t vitally important – it’s obviously much better to be on high blood pressure medication than to be at risk of having a stroke. Equally, it’s not the case that every incidence of someone being on five or more medications is problematic or unwarranted. The problem is when prescription cascade occurs,

which means the side effect(s) of one medication is misdiagnosed as a new condition that in turn requires a new medication. In one example, an elderly woman developed a cough, which was not recognised as being caused by the ACE inhibitor she was taking for high blood pressure, so she was given a codeine-based cough suppressant. When the cough persisted, an antibiotic was started. When the antibiotic caused diarrhoea, the patient was hospitalised for delirium and severe diarrhoea. If the cough was correctly diagnosed as a side effect of the ACE inhibitor, she could have avoided the whole misfortune. Two common examples of these prescription cascades include NSAIDs (aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.) causing high blood pressure, leading to the prescription of antihypertensives and high blood pressure medications, leading to dizziness and a new medication being prescribed for the dizziness. The key is to be alert to any new symptoms that arise when you start a new medication and discuss them with your GP at your earliest opportunity. It’s also important to regularly review your medications with your GP, including any medications that have been prescribed by a specialist, to ensure that

they are all still necessary. What can often make the biggest difference in someone’s wellbeing is working with their GP to reduce the number of medications they’re taking.

Annual vegetable beds growing at Canberra Environment Centre (CEC). The garden is more about learning and experimenting than growing the perfect crop.

The centre’s Community Food Waste Collection point, which is composted and used in the gardens.

Canberra Environment Centre: A whole lot more The Canberra Environment Centre (CEC) is a non-government, not-for-profit organisation, which was established in the 1970s. It has been at its current location at the ANU at Acton for the past 12 years or so. Ryan and Zoe, both with environmental backgrounds, run the centre alongside an extensive group of likeminded volunteers. Ryan said CEC is the perfect entry point to sustainable groups and living. Ryan is an advocate for simple and repeated behavioural changes, changes driven by individuals and local communities. Zoe has a passion for shared knowledge, learning and education – what better way to do so than with hands-on experience! CEC is all about the local and wider community; the local pre-schools in adjacent buildings visit on a daily basis to feed the chickens and collect their eggs, as well as explore the gardens and enjoy some of its bounty. School groups are regular visitors, as are members of the public attending regular sustainability workshops and presentations on offer. The Canberra Seed Savers and their evergrowing veggie seed bank also call CEC home. The centre has a food waste education hub with composting being the central feature. The big and automated Hungry Composter is capable of processing 100 litres of food waste per day. The donated food waste is fed into one of several chambers with 70% carbon materials added and heated to 65oC. After one week, it is put 52

into a tub to break down for a further week before being ready to use in the garden. There is enough compost produced to maintain the gardens without purchasing any external resources. Volunteers grow vegetables in the centre’s glasshouse to use in the Acton Community Garden at the site. Zoe said that essentially the garden is more about learning and experimenting than growing the perfect crop. Plants are irrigated by a dripper system fed by tank water from the nearby pre-school. Regular working bees are held throughout the year to maintain the gardens and carry out various projects. There are a selection of mature fruit trees growing nearby including a mulberry, peaches, nectarines, feijoas and citrus. Hardy crops of strawberries and rhubarb grow at their bases. As with every garden, CEC’s garden isn’t without its challenges. Possums and large, very smart birds have been known to feast on fruits of the gardens and resident chicken house, so a range of exclusion barriers are used to good effect. Recent additions include a beneficial insect friendly garden, formerly a tangle of Vinca weed. The garden was built by a Work for the Dole team and includes bee blocks and insect hotel, areas of bark and other cosy nooks, and a wide selection of bee friendly plants. Pollinating insects are attracted to a range of flower colours – interestingly, Ryan said that native bees are enticed by purple flowers in particular.

Volunteers grow veg in the centre’s glasshouse.

The automated Hungry Composter is capable of processing 100 litres of food waste per day.

The centre has explored the wonderful world of mushroom fungi with various inoculated logs being located throughout the gardens. Ryan and Zoe explained that the logs have been injected with various inoculated items including dowel, sawdust and sugarcane. The bark mulch beneath a lovely old elm tree has also been inoculated with fungi organisms. For more: www.canberraenvironment.org

Draft building code up for consultation Concrete safety audit commences The ACT Government has announced an audit within the construction industry to identify compliance and safety issues with the use of precast concrete panels. Workplace Safety Minister, Rachel StephenSmith, said the audit would look at current levels of compliance for safety when using the panels, with WorkSafe ACT inspectors to provide advice to workers and site managers on the risks involved during installation and final prop removal stages. “It’s important that workplace management understand the legal obligations they have when their employees engage in high-risk work,” she said. “Outcomes from the audit will assist in the development of future engagement activities and audit processes. A final report will be made available on completion of the audit, allowing industry to proactively improve their safe work practices when using precast concrete panels.” ACT Work Safety Commissioner Greg Jones said the extent of the audit would be driven by the level of compliance found with the “first 15 or so” site visits. “The most common issue associated with the use of precast panels is the collapse of the panel during or after their installation. This is usually as a result of workers not being suitably qualified or licensed to undertake the work or failure to follow site specific Safe Work Method Statements,” he said. The audit is in response to a number of incidents earlier this year on Canberra building sites, where concrete panels collapsed due to “inappropriate installation”.

The ACT Government’s draft Builders Code of Practice, which will set out the minimum requirements for licensed builders in the ACT, is available for consultation. Minister for Building Quality, Gordon Ramsay, said local builders and industry bodies would be consulted over the coming weeks and given the opportunity to provide feedback. “The Canberra community can rightly expect that licensed builders carry out their services with reasonable care and diligence, be accountable for the staff they employ, personally inspect relevant building work and ensure it complies with building standards and approved plans,” Minister Ramsay said. Master Builders ACT has welcomed the

consultation period, and CEO Michael Hopkins said the Code would bring the ACT “one step closer to a building regulatory system which supports industry and provides confidence to the Canberra community”. “The current program of reforms present a rare opportunity to bring the ACT’s building regulatory system up to scratch. Rather than rushing to implement the Code, we urge the Minister to take the necessary time to consult with industry and community stakeholders to ensure the Code of Practice reflects best practice,” Mr Hopkins said. The Code is expected to be introduced later this year. For more information and to view the code, visit act.gov.au/buildbuyrenovate

Sod turns on Project Independence Phillip Project Independence has turned the sod on their newest project in Phillip, to create 30 further homes for people in Canberra with an intellectual disability. Speaking at the sod turning ceremony, Housing Minister Yvette Berry said Project Independence is more than just “bricks and mortar”. “I am absolutely proud to be representing the ACT Government today … in bringing more homes and lives to people with intellectual disabilities. And I know that the difference that it makes to their own lives … but also with their family and, more broadly, the community,” she said. “That’s 30 more people in the ACT that will have homes to call their own, that they wouldn’t already have had the chance to.” Project Independence provides people with the opportunity to acquire equity in a property, as well

Rural bliss Jeir NSW 2963 Dog Trap Road Live your rural lifestyle dreams with this three-bedroom property in Jeir, set on 100 acres (approx. 40.4 hectares) just 30 minutes from the Canberra City and 15 minutes from Hall Village. Licensed agent ACT and NSW, Mark Johnstone from Ray White Canberra, says this property is a true “Australiana homestead” that has been beautifully renovated with high ceilings, combustion fireplace, and full-length bullnose veranda, all surrounded by easy-care gardens. “The 100 acres of rolling pastures are amazing, looking out to the Brindabella Ranges, arguably the best views in the region!” he says. “There is also the opportunity

to build a second residence on the property, so you could have one as your home, the other as a rental for extended family or perhaps even a bed and breakfast.” The home features new carpets, fresh paint and feature cornices, as well as a country kitchen with new appliances and views across the property and a large master bedroom with a double walk-in robe. There’s plenty of space for both indoor and outdoor entertaining, too. Johnstone says the property’s other standout features include the ample shedding; the machinery shed includes a studio room with its own bathroom and the additional large shed is currently set up with horse stables.

“Most importantly, there is ample water with an excellent bore and plenty of holding tanks,” he says. Johnstone says the Hall region is regarded as a “blue ribbon district” for rural lifestyle properties, with its close proximity to Canberra, outstanding views, quality agricultural soils and friendly community. “The ideal buyer could be a couple or family wanting a tree change, but also to be close to Canberra for an easy commute, and having options to build their dream

home or move into the character filled three-bedroom renovated homestead,” Johnstone says.

Building management reforms The ACT Government has proposed reforms to change up how apartments, townhouses and mixeduse buildings are managed. ACT Attorney-General Gordon Ramsay said the ‘Managing Buildings Better’ reforms would clarify responsibilities between residents and business owners. “As Canberra grows, we are seeing more and more people choosing to live in mixed-use developments in our town centres,” Minister Ramsay said. “This significant series of reforms will include more accurately splitting utility costs between businesses and households in shared buildings, which should result in lower bills for many residents.” He said the ACT Government had worked with a group of industry and community stakeholders to prioritise reforms that would have the “most direct and immediate impact”. Planning Minister Mick Gentlemen said the reforms would also benefit off-the-plan buyers, who would receive more information upfront and throughout the construction period. “We’re improving how owners’ corporations operate to make buying and living in apartments better,” he said. “We have explored what other

jurisdictions are doing and are taking the parts that best fit the ACT.” The initial package of reforms will be introduced to the Legislative Assembly later this year, and will include: allowing owners corporations to tailor the way they manage their buildings; inform consumers upfront about their rights when purchasing off the plan; allow a fairer and more equitable distribution of building costs; modernise administrative processes used for owners corporations; and modify rules for owners keeping pets in their apartments and townhouses.

Stuart Flats demo in full swing Demolition of the old Stuart Flats buildings in Griffith is now in full swing, to make way for Morris Property Group’s Stuart Flats Urban Renewal Project. Plans for the site include 414 residential apartments, as well as a childcare centre and a medical centre, to be spread across the three sites along Captain Cook Crescent, Light Street and Stuart Street. Building heights would range between three and six levels, in accordance with building requirements for the suburb. Morris Property Group’s development manager Geordie Edwards told Canberra Weekly in July the development would introduce new residents to the local area, to the benefit of local businesses. “The childcare centre and medical centre will provide increased employment opportunities and greater services to residents within the local catchment,” Edwards said. Demolition is expected to be completed in November, with construction of the first stage of the development anticipated to start in February 2020.

The Hateful Eight

Saturday, SBS, 8.30pm, MA15+ (2015)

Tarantino’s eighth film is a cosy affair, despite its three-hour runtime. Set in the depths of a Wyoming winter, bounty hunter Marquis (Samuel L. Jackson) is caught in a storm and snags a ride with fellow bounty hunter John (Kurt Russell), who is carrying fugitive Daisy (Jennifer Jason Leigh, above). On the way they pick up Chris (Walton Goggins), but are soon forced to take shelter in a shop.

Friday

pick of the week The Sweetest Thing Saturday, 9GO!, 9pm, MA15+ (2002)

The tale of a woman (Cameron Diaz, pictured) with commitment problems, who calls on her two girlfriends (Selma Blair and Christina Applegate) to help her find a man who might be Mr Right. It’s coarse, but the sharp comic performances of Applegate and Blair mean this audacious variation on the chick flick scores plenty of laughs.

August 16

Cinderella Saturday, PRIME7, 7pm, G (2015)

Lily James (right) plays the eponymous lead character who is tormented by her wicked stepmother (Cate Blanchett) and her nasty stepsisters. Anyone who’s seen the 1950 animation of the same name will know what to expect, though there are a few modern modiﬁcations. With a kidfriendly G classiﬁcation, this is a good opportunity to introduce Cinderella, Prince Charming (Richard Madden) and the Fairy Godmother (Helena Bonham Carter) to a young, new generation.

celebrity birthday JENNIFER LAWRENCE 15 August 1990 Jennifer’s ruling planet throughout the next 12 months is powerful, energetic Mars. How she uses her energies is going to determine how well thing go for her during this period. Mars is often associated with arguments, challenges and mishaps, which means she might often be impulsive and intense. This could lead to misunderstandings, possibly even lawsuits, or complications in her relationships. The key to dealing with these obstructive forces is to go within and draw upon the deeper levels of awareness.

in the stars 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 is unlikely to get by without some confusion manifesting itself. What’s more, you may not care for a colleague’s attitude, however, you still need to do your best to avoid misunderstandings. Your stars favour creative pursuits throughout August.

You may have the ability to study and put long made plans and ideas into action. Energetic, intellectual conditions are looking good when it comes to the realisation of your hopes and dreams. Also be extra mindful when driving to avoid minor or serious accidents.

What your next life move should be will become apparent in the near future. Be careful of being your own worst enemy by over-reacting; above all else, keep your insecurities in check. It’s a happy and productive time for the sportsperson, artist or those who deal with children.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

No matter what is happening, you need your rest and relaxation. What your next move is needs to be considered seriously this week. If you’re already in a relationship, you will be rediscovering each other, perhaps due to a special anniversary or old memories which are being reawakened.

You may be introduced to some new contacts through a loved one. Friends may be making plans for a celebration and an invitation seems to be winging its way to you. Venus is in Leo and it is a great time to spruce up your home or to arrange a celebration.

With the Sun in Leo until 23 August, a vibrant social mood will colour this month and it’s a time when you’ll find it relatively easy to find support and affection. Your enthusiasm is contagious, but you need to keep your feet on the ground.

It looks as though unspoken words are making everyone unhappy. You will need to deal with this situation in a mature fashion and be prepared to discuss disagreements and differences of opinion. If you ignore this advice, come bedtime you could toss and turn for many hours.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

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 communicate and apply well during the year ahead. Your values may go through a fundamental shift. Control a tendency to overspend!

You will be surrounded by friendly, chatty people which will be a delightful experience this week. Children or young people will be bringing you a great deal of pleasure, either because they make some kind of achievement or simply because you enjoy doing things together.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC Naturally, you want to be top dog, but perhaps you are forgetting to look at the needs of those who are offering you real support. On a positive note, the influence of the planets can’t help but to encourage greater confidence, optimism and a focus on enjoying yourself.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB Get matters in the areas of banking, tax, insurance or bureaucracy cleared out of the way so that you can breathe more easily. You will have to find the middle ground at some point where relationships are concerned, so be careful of being your own worst enemy at the moment.

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR Sorting out your financial life is of major importance at this time. It is crucial that you don’t become resentful, but try to be practical and far-sighted when it comes to your long-term financial security. Loved ones will offer some great advice which should be followed.

TRAVEL

Photo Shelly Higgs

If I could travel half the year, I absolutely would. I love the excitement of planning, imagining, even leaving for the airport at some ungodly hour! I love how quickly travel takes us away from a narrow sense of ourselves and frees the way for fresh perspectives, relationships and experiences.

Dylan Van Den Berg

A NIGHT AT THE THEATRE Obviously going to the theatre is very much my idea of a night well spent. It’s not only delightfully entertaining to people watch in the foyer, but, as a practitioner, you should never underestimate how much you stand to learn from frequently engaging with others’ practice.

Writer/Actor

Dylan Van Den Berg is a Palawa man living on Ngunnawal land. His writing for performance includes Milk (First Seen, 2019), The Camel (Blacklist Theatre Co., 2019), why am i a fish? (UNE, 2018) and Blue: a misery play (First Seen, 2017). This year, he was selected to participate in Playwriting Australia’s masterclass with Patricia Cornelius. As an actor, Dylan has worked with Jigsaw Theatre Company, Gearstick Theatre, and has appeared at The Street Theatre in several new works. Dylan graduated from the ANU with a Bachelor of Arts (Drama) and trained in improvisation at the State University of New York and Upright Citizens Brigade. He is currently completing an MA at University of New England with a focus on Indigenous dramaturgies. He will be appearing in Metamorphosis adapted by Steven Berfoff at The Street, 17-31 August; thestreet.org.au 122

EATING OUT I am a serious hedonist and Canberra (and its regional surrounds) has so many fantastic restaurants to indulge in! For special occasions, I love Grazing and Poacher’s Pantry … I’m embarrassingly loyal to my local Indian restaurant, Masala Hut in Weston Creek.

ENTERTAINING AT HOME Having friends/family over for dinner is one of life’s greatest pleasures. Flipping through recipe books, going to the Fyshwick Markets early on Saturday to hunt and gather, spending the afternoon pottering in the kitchen and then finally popping on some great tunes, pouring a glass of wine and sitting back.

The $44,990* drive away price is one compelling reason.
