This week...

It feels like a super busy fundraising period right now. This week, our office is baking up a storm on Thursday for RSPCA ACT Cupcake Day, we’ll be buying daffodils for Cancer Council ACT Daffodil Day on Friday, and hosting a table at the Cure Brain Cancer Foundation gala ball on Saturday. We’ve also dedicated this week’s cover to Steptember – a fundraiser for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (flip to page 16 to find out more). It’s a win-win; a team event where participants have the opportunity to improve their fitness while raising funds for services, therapy, support and research into causes of and treatments for cerebral palsy (CP). Recent data indicates a decline in CP across Australia over the past decade from around one in 500 children to one in 700, and the severity has also become milder. Remarkable! Reasons to be grateful this past week include great fun and delicious produce on a Cowra wine & forage tour visiting three organic vineyards on a glorious sunny Saturday, a nostalgic night out at The ‘70s Unplugged in Queanbeyan, a cosy family dinner at our local Indian restaurant, brunch with a new friend at Kingston Foreshore, an invigorating walk with an old friend around Mt Taylor, and continuing excellent medical care for a much-loved family member at Gold Coast University Hospital. - Julie Samaras

Interest is growing in the Gungahlin community for an increase in office space and government workers to boost the Town Centre. File image.

Calls for more offices in Gungahlin Sentiment is growing in Canberra’s north for more commercial office space and government buildings to be planned for the Gungahlin Town Centre. Gungahlin Community Council (GCC) president, Peter Elford, said the lack of office buildings and government agencies makes it harder for Gungahlin to “sustain a commercial centre, because everyone is going somewhere else for work”, contributing to the much-discussed issue of congestion on Gungahlin’s roads. “There’s also a huge amount

of commercial office space in Canberra. To attract nongovernment employment out here is hard,” he said. An ACT Government spokesperson said the government was aware of the interest from the community, and indicated the ACT Government plans to increase commercial land in the Gungahlin Town Centre. Around 700 ACT Government staff were relocated to Winyu House in Gungahlin in 2015. “The Gungahlin Town Centre Planning Refresh proposes to reserve 65,000sqm for commercial

office development through an upcoming Draft Variation to the Territory Plan … the Government’s Indicative Land Release Program 2019-20 to 2022-23 (June 2019) also includes the release of commercial land every year over the coming four years of the program.” The spokesperson said the upcoming Draft Variation was expected to be referred to Planning and Land Management Minister Mick Gentlemen shortly, with it then to be released for public consultation. Mr Elford said the GCC would be keeping an eye on sites released that are zoned for office space with the option of also being “mixed use” to avoid “diluting” the Town Centre with more residential units. “We continue to lobby the ACT Government to ensure there is space maintained and retained for office space in the Town Centre,” he said. GCC committee member Luke Hadfield said the Gungahlin community want “some sort of steady employment for the region”, referencing businesses struggling to stay open during

the disruptive construction of the light rail network. “If more people in the area are employed, have jobs, that means businesses are being supported which means more people are getting employed.” In May 2018, the Federal Government agency Defence Housing Australia (DHA) was confirmed to relocate to Gungahlin, a move welcomed by the GCC and the Gungahlin community. At the time, Liberal ACT Senator Zed Seselja said DHA would bring around 290 full-time jobs to the area. “The broader benefits of a Commonwealth agency as a key anchor tenant will boost the local economy and encourage businesses to locate in the town centre,” he said. “We know that the success of our local town centres is significantly impacted by the locations of government department offices, as key anchor tenants in the capital.” - Libby Kimber

Liberals call for firmer enforcement of extreme hoarding laws Earlier this month, the Canberra Liberals put forward a bill to introduce inspection and enforcement measures surrounding controlled activity orders related to extreme cases of hoarding. The Planning and Development (Controlled Activities) Amendment Bill 2019 seeks, amongst other things, to: introduce regular inspections; insert firm deadlines for rectification works to be carried out; make individuals in breach of controlled activity orders liable for rectification costs; and increase penalties for multiple breaches. Opposition leader Alistair Coe said that while current laws exist to deal with the issue, not enough is being done to enforce them. “At the moment there is a lack of enforcement of controlled activity orders, including inspections and rectifications. 8

“Unclean leasehold issues will often drag on for years, even decades, with limited action from the property owner and next to no action from the government.” He said that while the issue of extreme hoarding isn’t widespread in Canberra, the instances where it takes place does cause distress to many Canberrans. “We are not talking about a garage full of household possessions or a house full of knick-knacks; we are talking about front and back yards overflowing with junk, cats, dogs, rats, snakes, mosquitoes and much more,” he said. “Failing to keep a leasehold clean can lead to potentially poor health outcomes for the property owner and for the adjacent residents, due to rodents, mosquitoes and other pests. “My expectation is that we

might be talking about one or two dozen properties in Canberra, but for these dozen or two properties many, many people are impacted,” he said. An ACT Government spokesperson said the Canberra Liberals’ proposed legislation is a “simplistic approach” to a complex social issue. “We are cautious about the introduction of penalties that can be used as a blunt tool against the most vulnerable in our society,” the spokesperson said. They said imposing inflexible and strict conditions on compliance orders fails to account for the needs of the vulnerable. “Every situation is different and the government response varies based on site safety, community interest, mental health issues and circumstance.

“The Planning and Development Act contains a wide range of compliance options, including fines, prohibition notices and controlled activity orders. “Providing compliance officers with a range of options means that the enforcement of the planning system can be tailored to the particular situation.” The spokesperson said the government’s Litter Bill, currently before the Assembly, proposes an escalating framework to deal with litter on a private site. “This includes allowing TCCS [Transport Canberra and City Services] to enter a site to clean up and abate the hoarding of litter when all other actions have been unsuccessful … Importantly, this framework does not criminalise the mental health issue of hoarding.”

capital hill A climate of crisis “China will do what China will do.” That is the assessment of Labor’s Foreign Affairs Shadow Minister Penny Wong. Wong, at the weekend, was responding to the mounting crisis in Hong Kong and the prospect of a heavy-handed intervention by Beijing. She was also giving context to the failure of Australia to impress the 17 states and micro states of the Pacific who attended last week’s Pacific Islands Forum in Tuvalu. Also prominently in attendance and “understanding” the Island nations’ sense of impending doom over climate change was China. Wong, like her former colleague and prime minister Kevin Rudd – now a foreign affairs specialist at the prestigious Asia Society Policy Institute in New York – says China will make every effort to exert its influence in our region and the world: “that’s what major powers do”. The Morrison Government is well aware of this reality and is desperately trying to consolidate Australia’s position as “partner of choice”. It repurposed $500 million of already committed aid to climate change mitigation – sand bags and the

like – at the forum. Forum host Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga and his counterparts were unconvinced, even if grateful for the generosity. But he said “no matter how much money you put on the table, it doesn’t give you the excuse to not do the right thing”. The right thing, as far as the inundated island states are concerned, is a stronger commitment from Australia to reduce our emissions, to be more serious about phasing out coal and not to use accounting tricks to achieve our reduction targets. Morrison’s arguments that China pollutes more than Australia and that we account for just 1.3% of the world’s emissions failed to convince. It did so for the simple reason that if the other 100 nations emitting about the same level, like the United Kingdom for example, used the same argument, no one would do anything. Pacific leaders were pushing for a strong statement on climate action so that the region could take it to the United Nations climate summit in September. They are anxious to apply pressure for international action to avoid what they and the world’s scientists see as the planet

rushing headlong to catastrophe. For 12 hours Australia refused to sign up. It would not accept the description of “climate crisis”. Nauru’s President was reduced to tears of frustration. Fiji’s Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama tweeted: “We came together in a nation that risks disappearing to the seas, but unfortunately, we settled for the status quo in our communiqué.” On any level this is a failure of Australia’s diplomacy, our PM’s arguments weakened by no plan to reach net zero emissions by 2050. Morrison says he will come up with one next year, but if the past 10 years are any guide, there’s not much room for optimism. There’s also not much chance we can play a useful role in Hong Kong. Australia’s diplomacy has lost credibility with Beijing. Nuance is not something we do well.

news Driver shortage hurting weekend bus services responding to more weekend transport services, the reliability of bus services has not met community expectations,” he said. According to ACT Sub Branch Secretary of the Transport Workers’ Union (TWU), Klaus Pinkas, the unreliability of the weekend network is simply due to lack of drivers. “The workload on the weekend has increased exponentially with the introduction of the new network, whilst driver numbers have stayed the same. TCCS have acknowledged this and are recruiting (belatedly) at a rapid rate.” PTCBR Chair Damien Haas acknowledged driver recruitment could have been increased in the lead-up to Network 19, but said it is also “very disappointing that the Transport Canberra drivers still won’t volunteer to work weekends in sufficient numbers”. “The current EBA is clearly not fit for purpose, and when it expires it would perhaps be better for Canberra’s passengers if the drivers returned to the award rate,” Mr Haas said. “If the TWU want to retain the composite rate, they should encourage their members to

do the right thing and turn up on weekends.” However, Mr Pinkas said “it is not a matter of ‘doing the right thing’. This statement totally misrepresents the issue. The problem is a lack of drivers and only that”. Minister Steel said the government was working to recruit more drivers with Transport Canberra moving to a rolling recruitment campaign for bus drivers, rather than just once a year. In the meantime, the government will be making adjustments to the weekend bus timetable. The most popular elements of the new transport network are proposed to remain: frequent rapid services; services will still start early and run late; and weekend services will run on the same route and number as weekday services. While Transport Canberra is still working on the weekend timetable adjustments, it is likely that local route buses will run less frequently. Network planners will also be working closely with the TWU to agree upon the new bus driver shifts. This will be completed shortly with a revised weekend timetable proposed to be introduced on 28 September.

The ACT Government has come under fire for its handling of issues surrounding weekend bus services. The Canberra Liberals, ACT Greens and the Public Transport Association of Canberra (PTCBR) are critical of the government’s decision to cut weekend bus routes to address unreliable services. In a statement on Friday 16 August, ACT Greens Transport spokesperson Caroline Le Couteur said the decision to cut buses “isn’t a real solution”. She said the government’s plan came as a surprise “given that less than 48 hours ago, the government committed to a push from the Greens for a month-long action plan to properly investigate a range of ways to make weekend services more reliable”. ACT Minister for Transport, Chris Steel, said under Network 19, an extra 1,377 services have been timetabled on the weekend. Since then, 27% more weekend journeys have been taken on public transport compared to the same period last year. “While it’s great that Canberrans are

news Researching the benefits of Kulture Break CEO and founder of Canberra charity youth services provider, Kulture Break, Francis Owusu has for 17 years seen how his organisation’s dance-based programs have improved the mental health outcomes of its youthful participants. “I’ve seen kids that have come from broken homes, really challenging situations, and they’ve been able to unlock their future aspirations,” he said. “I’ve seen them build the selfconfidence to be able to connect with people. Kids who were shy and afraid of being around people, who are now able to present, connect and be social.” Kulture Break has now acquired funding from the Australian Foundation for Mental Health Research (AFFIRM) for a research project to be conducted

by Western Sydney University (WSU) on the mental health impact their arts programs have on young people. Mr Owusu is excited for the opportunity to validate what he’s seen through evidence-based research, and better understand the impact of the dance practices in their program on the lives of participants. “To have a university, and the foundation of funding to bring this whole thing together really now provides another platform for us to take our message to a broader audience,” Mr Owusu said. AFFIRM chairman James Service AM said he is impressed by the practicality of Kulture Break’s programs. “It’s actually something people will be actively involved in, they won’t have to do it with their

tablet or their laptop; they’ll actually do it. “It’s a face-to-face thing; it hopefully gets some of these young people away from social media. The pressure is lessened, and they find different pathways to deal with anxiety and depression,” Mr Service said. The research will be conducted by Dr Karin Mackay, a lecturer in the School of Education at WSU. Titled Dance for Life: Expressive Arts for Cultural Wellbeing with Youth, the research will be conducted over eight to 12 months. “I don’t come in with a hugely fixed idea … it’s a participatory action methodology, so it’s always about including people in the research, working with people,” Dr Mackay said. There are three aspects of what

cover story

Steptember challenges people to take 10,000 steps a day for 28 days during September while raising money for Cerebral Palsy Alliance. Funds raised will help people such as CPA ACT client Eleanor Dyne (front) pictured with Kate Inman and Matthew Carmody from Cerebral Palsy Alliance ACT and Vicki Wallis, Department of Human Services.

Step up to the challenge Canberrans are a generous bunch – but what if your good deeds could also help you feel better and fitter, too? Steptember offers a ‘winwin’ for participants by raising important funds to support people living with cerebral palsy while also helping you to increase your fitness levels and develop healthy habits. Run by Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA), Steptember challenges people to take 10,000 steps a day for 28 days during September while raising money for a great cause. Last year the ACT raised $510,000 through Steptember. Matthew Carmody, ACT Partnership Manager CPA, said funds raised are used locally to provide equipment, exercise programs, respite, research and data analysis, as well as technology and innovation. With the countdown on to this

year’s event, on 3-30 September, organisers are keen to get more teams involved, especially corporates and government departments. Mr Carmody said “government departments have friendly competition especially about who raises the most” while a lot of the businesses also come up with their own ideas to increase engagement in Steptember from morning teas and trivia nights, to dollar matching what their employees do. “This is our one major fundraising event for the year,” Mr Carmody said. “It is extremely important for people with families that live with cerebral palsy. “We have got over 500 families in the ACT and surrounding areas being supported by Cerebral Palsy Alliance.” As “Australia’s leading health and wellness charity event”,

Mr Carmody said Steptember promotes teamwork and competition, is inclusive, and can help create healthy habits “that last longer than the event”. Data from previous events suggests that at its completion, participants are more motivated to exercise, a percentage lost weight, while it also inspired others to maintain fitness habits. Not into walking? There are plenty of ways to reach your daily step count with over 40 different activities able to be converted to steps. Registrations are now open and costs $25 per adult and $10 each for children. When you register, you will receive a Steptember kit which includes a pedometer to count your steps.

news Call for ACT human milk bank Breast milk is often referred to as ‘liquid gold’ and for those who are unable to breastfeed, some are turning online to source donor milk for their babies. Local mother-of-two, Preethi Arvind, started donating her excess breast milk in 2016 after the birth of her first son. She had her second son in April this year, and again was gifted with good supply. “When looking around in various online mum groups, I realised that there were lot of families who were looking for donor milk for their babies due to several reasons. This prompted me to start my milk donations,” Mrs Arvind said. “I have donated around 225 litres to 17 babies including premature twins and mums who are sick and could not breastfeed. It is a very fulfilling and empowering experience for me to help babies in need.” Mrs Arvind said she expresses four times a day and stores the excess milk in labelled sterilised bottles, milk bags and deep freezes it. “I sterilise all the equipment after every use,” she said. “The process of pumping, storing and

sterilising the equipment requires lot of time, effort and dedication but has to be done to ensure the safety of the stored milk.” While a rewarding experience, Mrs Arvind said it is an uphill climb “to reach out, identify, connect and arrange the logistics with recipients who are in need of support” and suggests the presence of a centralised milk bank in the ACT would resolve a lot of issues. Mrs Arvind said a milk bank would not only connect the donor and recipient community but would also benefit premature and sick babies at the Canberra Hospital. An ACT Health spokesperson said donor milk is currently supplied to the Centenary Hospital for Women and Children for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for babies born prematurely or unwell or where there is not enough expressed milk when feeds are introduced. A feasibility study is currently underway of establishing a human milk bank in the ACT. “Work is focused on gathering feedback and insights from the community and identifying

potential costs and practical considerations of establishing a milk bank in the ACT,” the spokesperson said. “The outcomes of this feasibility study are expected to be presented to the Legislative Assembly before the end of the year.” Alongside this study, the ACT Government has participated in a national working group established by the Clinical Principal Committee, a subcommittee of the Australian Health Ministers Advisory Committee, to investigate regulatory practices regarding human milk and human milk products across different jurisdictions. Findings from this working group will further inform the feasibility of establishing a milk bank in the ACT. The ACT Government is aware that private sharing arrangements of human breast milk occur in the ACT and said “it is important that parents who choose to take part in such arrangements ensure that they are fully informed of the potential risks”. - Allison Turnbull

The South East NSW Health Collaborative project recently celebrated the start of construction of its clinical health training facilities at the Cooma Hospital. The centre marks the first of three facilities in Cooma, Bega and Moruya.

The joint venture between UC and ANU has received nearly $8 million in federal funding. The project aims to make important inroads into the issue of accessibility to healthcare in regional areas, as well as offer potential for collaboration, bridge building and professional development between health service staff and the universities. The South East NSW Health Collaborative facilities are expected to see completion in late March 2020.

Mental health review Canberrans are being encouraged to have their say as part of a review of children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing in the ACT. The latest ACT Chief Health Officer’s report identifies that younger Canberrans, aged 18-24 years, are the most likely cohort to experience psychological distress, and that 46% of selfharm hospitalisations in the ACT in 2015-16 were young people aged 10 to 24 years.

The review is a key project of the work plan for the Office for Mental Health and Wellbeing and is being undertaken in partnership with Mental Illness Education ACT, the Youth Coalition, Capital Health Network and Families ACT. A survey is available through the ACT Government’s YourSay website, with the community encouraged to share their experiences. The consultation is open until 18 October.

The Australian National University (ANU), in partnership with Anglicare, Belconnen Community Centre and Woden Centre, will open new clinics to provide help to underrepresented people with their tax affairs. ANU accounting students will work in the clinics and be supervised and mentored by practicing tax accountants, providing information to taxpayers on applying for a Tax File Number, using MyGov and lodging tax returns. “The government’s tax plan is probably going to raise a lot of questions for people in the community about how this will

affect them,” said the ANU’s Professor Juliana Ng. “We’ve chosen the very best students to work in the clinics. Their knowledge of income tax and tax related matters mean they’ll be well equipped to confidently deal with questions coming up in the clinics.” Professor Ng said the clinics would for the most part be used by new migrants, students and participants of services provided by the partner community centres. The ANU Tax Clinics form part of a national trial with nine other universities in Australia, and will operate in community centres in Civic, Belconnen, Woden and Gordon until the end of October.

The ANU’s Australian National Dictionary Centre (ANDC) is, for the first time, looking for contributions to compile the Australian National Dictionary – a dictionary of Australian words and their origins. This year’s theme is “nicknames for places” – think ‘Freo’ for Fremantle, ‘The Gong’ for Wollongong, and maybe even the Canberra-centric ‘Tuggers’ or ‘Jerra’ – an Australian habit which has caught the attention of the ANDC. “The informality and humour commonly found in Australian English obviously extends to naming places as well,” said

ANDC Editor, Mark Gwynn. “If there’s a place in Australia that hasn’t received a nickname yet, it’s only a matter of time.” ANDC Director Amanda Laugesen said contributions from the public are an important way the ANDC is alerted to new words. “That’s why we plan to have an annual appeal, based on a particular topic or theme, that we hope will encourage contributions from the public and prompt discussion about our language and words. For more information or to make submission, find the ANDC on Facebook (@ozwords) and Twitter (@ozworders).

Breaking stereotypes of older women With Donna Summer’s Hot Stuff playing in the background, 76-year old Janice Lorraine recently struck a pose and challenged old age stereotypes with her impressive physique on the Australia’s Got Talent stage. Based in Queanbeyan, Janice began competing in natural bodybuilding when she was 56 years old after retiring from the workforce. Worried about getting older, and bone density, Janice recalls seeing a frail woman in a car park and deciding “I’m not going to be like that”. While initially “too scared to go in” to the weights section of her gym as it “was all men”, Janice forged ahead. “There was a fellow there that saw I was serious and said I’d like to train you,” she says, and this eventually led to bodybuilding competitions. In her first competition, Janice was 56 years old competing against a 47-year-old woman. “She had this beautiful body and I had to compete against her,” she recalls. “I beat her and that surprised me.”

But it also spurred her on to further competition. “I went to the Australian Championships and before I knew I’d won, I said to my trainer if I win I might go to the Universe and Olympia [competitions],” she smiles. “It doesn’t matter if I don’t win, it’s an experience.” Now, Janice has been involved in the sport for 20 years, and recently returned from Italy where she won gold in the Ms Figure (60+) at the ICN Universe Amateur Natural Titles. As to her television appearance, Janice says she was approached to appear on Australia’s Got Talent. Her routine was designed to inspire – surprising the audience as she switched from demure dressing to a shiny, purple bikini displaying her trim and toned physique – and she’s glad she did it. “It’s not easy being judged in public but the crowd was wonderful. Every time I struck a pose they cheered,” she says. Janice hopes her exposure can encourage people to live “the life you want to live regardless of stereotypes and expectations of others”. - Allison Turnbull

Automotive engineer Ian Stewart played a pivotal role in the NMA’s restoration of a rare 1948 Daimler used during Queen Elizabeth’s historic 1954 Royal Tour of Australia. Photo: Kerrie Brewer.

Royal Daimler restored back to life Meticulous conservation work by the National Museum of Australia (NMA) has revived a rare 1948 Daimler Landaulette used by Queen Elizabeth II during her historic 1954 Royal Tour of Australia. Following the royal tour, the Daimler, now in the NMA’s

collection, was sold to the Governor of South Australia. It was then owned by several private collectors before being purchased by the Museum in 2009. Since then, the Daimler has been the focus of one of the most complex conservation projects ever

undertaken by NMA conservators. A luxury vehicle of its time, the Daimler is an impressive object – almost six metres long and weighing four tonnes. It is 1.8 metres high and powered by an eight-cylinder engine. Its internal fit-out included electric sunroof and windows, an intercom, airbag lumbar supports, and a radio housed beneath a walnut dashboard. Automotive engineer Ian Stewart played a pivotal role in the restoration of the Daimler from start to finish, and told Canberra Weekly he was on hand to inspect the vehicle when it was found in South Australia’s Clare Valley. “We went over to have a look at the car, the person who owned it at the time knew exactly what he had … The engine had had a major fail, so he pushed it into the barn and left it.” Importantly, on that inspection he noticed they were dealing with a complete vehicle. “Everything was there that you could do restoration work on, and that’s what it’s about with the

Museum, not making a hot rod out of it. “There’s been a lot of people involved with paintwork, bodywork and material work. The mechanical side of things … but it’s all still within the specifications of the original design,” Mr Stewart said. The conservation involved assessing more than 30,000 components, carefully deconstructing much of the car and then rebuilding it piece by piece. Mr Stewart estimated approximately 90% of the restored vehicle is original. “It’s just been treated, repainted, repaired … the roof, for instance, is all still the original paint, it’s just been polished. “I’m really happy with the way it’s turned out. It’s probably better than I thought it would be to be honest.” The Daimler is on display in the Gandel Atrium at the NMA until 5 September. - Denholm Samaras

sport Raiders comeback stuns Storm

Jordan Rapana evades the Melbourne Storm defence to score in the corner for the Raiders during their win at AAMI Park, Melbourne on Saturday 17 August. Getty.

The Canberra Raiders proved their premiership credentials in a 22-18 win over ladder leaders the Melbourne Storm at AAMI Park on Saturday 17 August. Coming into the match, the Green Machine hadn’t beaten the Storm in Melbourne in six years and it looked like history was set

to repeat as Jack Wighton was sin binned in the first five minutes, followed by Joseph Tapine in the 15th, with the Storm making the most of their advantage on the scoreboard. A try to Jarrod Croker late in the first half kept the Raiders in touch as they went into the sheds down 18-4. After the break, the Raiders narrowed the margin when Croker scored his second of the night, while Jordan Rapana’s effort set up a grandstand finish. As the clock ticked down, a successful strip by Josh Hodgson put the Raiders in ideal attacking position from which Josh Papalii burst through the Storm’s defence to crash under the posts and steal the win. The Raiders host the fourth-placed Sea Eagles at GIO Stadium Canberra on Sunday 25 August, kick-off 4.05pm. The Raiders will wear a special charity round jersey which will be auctioned off after the match via allbids.com.au with proceeds going to Deaf Australia.

Boxall a trailblazer Australian ice hockey’s first women’s national team captain, Canberra school teacher Stephanie Boxall, was formally inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame Australia (HHOFA) on Saturday 17 August. Boxall, who first laced up the blades as a nine year old with the Woden Grizzlies, went on to revolutionise women’s ice hockey in Australia at a time when administrators were grappling with multiple challenges: a sudden growth in ice rinks, a surge in juniors, and a demand for equality between genders. Boxall was the only girl to represent the ACT in the inaugural President’s Cup (U13) in 1983, and again in 1984 and 1985. “Only a handful of girls played state ice hockey back then, and the national association decided the game was too dangerous for us,” Boxall said. With her coach’s support, she took on the sport’s ruling fathers and won, opening the way for her, as well as two girls from WA and Victoria, to participate in national championships with the boys. Boxall went on to become captain of the Australian national women’s ice hockey team. In 26 international games for Australia, she scored 22 goals and 14 assists for an average 1.4 points a game.

HomeGround Real Estate Canberra advertising moment

HomeGround: Property management with a difference HomeGround Canberra is changing up the real estate game to tackle Canberra’s rental affordability problem, with property management services that make a difference.

omeGround’s property manager and business development manager, Maria Edwards, explains that at HomeGround, landlords have the option to rent their property out either at or below the market rate. “If they rent their property out they can claim a tax deduction for the difference between what they’re renting it for and what the market rent is, like a charity donation,” she says. “They can be exempt from land tax on their property as well, which is a big saving. “We also do normal market rents, where all of the profits from the management fees go into Community Housing Canberra’s (CHC) projects.” Operating under CHC, Ms Edwards says HomeGround is designed to fill the gap between government housing and the private rental market, by tapping into housing stock that already exists. This is the third HomeGround to launch in Australia, with successful models up and running in Sydney and

Melbourne. Prospective tenants must fit the income criteria to be eligible. “Canberra is the most expensive place in Australia to rent, so this is a way of reducing rent without doing developments with a time lag or the expense of just building lots of houses,” she says. “People who work in essential services like retail or cleaning are increasingly priced out of the private market, where we’re looking at the average rental being like $550 per week for a two-bedroom house. “They’re excellent and amazing tenants; it’s just a matter of finding something affordable for them.” CHC’s CEO Andrew Hannan says HomeGround is a way to grow affordable rental supply to meet the “massive market need”. “There are far too many lowerincome Canberran households doing it tough, and this is a way that gives people that want to make a difference the opportunity to do so. “It complements our more capitalintensive ways of growing rental

Property manager and business development manager, Maria Edwards, has 15 years’ experience in the real estate and property management industry in Canberra, having won numerous industry awards for her work.

supply, with new developments taking time, large capital requirements and exposing CHC to risk.” With 15 years’ experience in property management in Canberra, and numerous industry awards, Ms Edwards works with landlords to help them decide which rental option is best for them. “The landlords actually choose the tenants in this case,” she says. “Tenants are checked out more than they would be in regular real estate agencies, because they’ve got to fit the income criteria. So we actually check their last 52 weeks’ income, you’re not just checking one payslip. “It’s about finding the best tenant for the property that fits into the category.”

She says while some landlords may forego a small portion of their weekly rental income, the savings to the tenant are “huge”. “Over all the years I’ve done this, I’ve had so many landlords say to me ‘I don’t care if it’s a bit cheaper than what everybody else’s is, I just want good tenants’. And that’s exactly what we’re doing. “It’s not all about the dollars; it’s about seeing the social difference it can make as well. The tenants are so grateful, they’re really relieved. A lot of them have gone without a lot to just have a roof over their head, and I think, for them, it gives them more hope for the future. “It’s like a minimal cost for maximum impact. We manage your property; you make the difference.”

Want to lease your property through HomeGround Real Estate? Contact property manager Maria Edwards on 0478 626 125 or maria@homegroundcanberra.com.au

Maria says HomeGround works with landlords to find a tenant that’s the best fit for their property.

Whether you are a seasoned green thumb or an enthusiastic beginner you will be excited to learn that GOAT Hydroponics has opened its doors in Mitchell this month. Growing plants hydroponically is a great way to produce fresh, healthy food in your own home. What is hydroponics you ask? Put simply, it is the growing of plants without soil. Hydroponic systems come with a number of benefits and are becoming a popular choice with people who are passionate about producing fresh food. For you at home, the advantage of hydroponic gardening is that you don’t have to fight weeds and most pests and you can also grow in small spaces, such as an apartment or empty corner of your home. Hydroponics is particularly convenient in a city like Canberra where seasons and outdoor elements can drastically affect your ability to successfully grow plants.

GOAT Hydroponics does not only focus on hydroponics growing however. If you prefer to garden the traditional way, outside in soil, we also have a great variety of nutrients that can boost the growth of your plants, bonsai, vegetables, fruits and flowers.

Salted caramel slice Recipe courtesy of Jacqueline Alwill for KitchenAid. Serves: 20 Prep: 20 mins, plus 3-4 hrs setting time Crust 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup sesame seeds 1/4 cup raw cacao nibs Pinch of salt (optional) 1 cup Medjool dates, seeds removed Caramel 1/2 cup tahini 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted 1 cup Medjool dates, seeds removed Chocolate topping 1/3 cup coconut oil, melted 1/3 cup raw cacao powder

Snack attack

This week we’re battling those 3pm snack cravings, so food writer Libby Kimber went in search of some sweet and wholesome afternoon pick-me-ups.

3 Tbsp maple syrup To make the crust, process the ingredients in a KitchenAid 7 cup food processor until they bind but maintain a crumb-like appearance (be careful not to make it a paste!). If you don’t have Medjool dates then you can use dried pitted dates, but soak them for 10 minutes in boiling water first, then drain and use. Press into the bottom of a lined loaf tin or square (20x20cm) cake tin and pop in freezer. To make the caramel, blend all ingredients together until liquid in the KitchenAid 7 cup food processor, then pour over the base and place back in freezer. To make the chocolate topping, whisk together all ingredients using a hand whisk, then pour evenly over the caramel, sprinkle with sea salt and place in fridge to set for 3-4 hours.

Serves: 8-10

I’m vegan + nut free!

Prep: 10 mins Cook: 30 mins For the banana bread 1 1/2 cups almond meal 1/3 cup ground psyllium husk 2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp salt 3 eggs 1/2 cup cream 1 banana 2 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 2 Tbsp sunflower seeds 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla extract For the top of the loaf 1 Tbsp seeds or chopped nuts 42

Pre-heat the oven to 160°C fan (180°C regular). Line a loaf tin with non-stick baking paper, or use a nonstick silicone mould (be aware that silicone doesn’t transfer heat as well as metal so you may need to cook your bread a little longer). Place all the banana bread ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Pour into the loaf tin, scatter over the seeds or nuts and bake for 28–30 minutes. Insert a skewer into the centre of the loaf and make sure it comes out clean. If the bread seems a little under-cooked, bake for another 5 minutes before testing again.

What makes Aretha Franklin so special to you? She one of the most awesome female voices of our time. Researching her songs, what she did was like a perfect master craft. I had a playlist of songs about 90 minutes’ worth, I’d go out for a walk and when I got home it would be one of those ‘ahh’ moments, it was just so incredible to listen to that. Did you ever get the chance to meet Aretha? No, gosh. I wish I had. I always feel like I have met her, I feel like I know her intimately from immersing myself in her autobiography, songs and YouTube clips of her. Is there a different feel when you take to the stage performing a tribute show versus your original works? It’s very great to sing covers, I think it’s underrated. I spent years singing my own songs, and I didn’t realise how much I’d been craving to do something different until I decided I would record Aretha’s songs and go out on the road with it. It just opened up the whole audience, and

her music is just so feel good … Giving the audience what they want to hear is amazing. How important is a musician’s education in the legends like Aretha for aspiring musicians? A lot of the origins of music come out of the successes and the history of the greats; Aretha is a great, and her songs are classics. Everything about her style is replicated throughout the generations, she earmarked and created all of those sounds. It is so important that we know the origins of music to find our own authentic voice within all of that. Alongside your music you’ve also enjoyed successful careers acting and radio hosting. Do you fi nd crossover between those mediums?

I’ve always said I’ve really loved how they’re not really jobs when you love what you do, but one job does really inform the other; you’re almost reenergized and reinvigorated. I’ve found if I keep doing the same thing over again, it begins to feel a lot like Groundhog Day, and I start to lose attention and motivation.

This is a marvellous book for dads that is full of good ideas to save families time and money. Palmer, a former builder and Better Homes and Gardens regular, provides 101 tips for dads, from across the spectrum of house maintenance, life skills, cooking and family games. The best tips are the DIY ones, and include how to patch up with plaster, the tricks to building a good cubby house and the essential dad toolkit. He even gives advice on how to perfectly roast pork! A terrific little book, with lots of good illustrations.

Knife by Jo Nesbo Harvill, $32.99

Those who enjoy gritty crime novels will appreciate the latest book in Norwegian author Jo Nesbo’s bestselling series about Oslo detective Harry Hole, Knife. The book opens with Hole still recovering from the traumatic conclusion to the previous book, The Thirst, and in a bad way. His world suddenly becomes much darker, however, when someone near to him is murdered. Although warned off the murder investigation by his superiors, and assigned other cases to keep him busy, in typical fashion Hole launches his own inquiries into the murder, with initially disastrous results. This is probably the toughest entry in Nesbo’s hardhitting series and is an exciting and very tense read.

Canberra writer and former journalist Robert Macklin provides a fascinating historical account of the life of Narcisse Pelletier, a French cabin boy who was abandoned on the Far North Queensland coast in 1858. Rescued by the local Uutaalnganu (Night Island) people, he lived with them for 17 years until he was torn from his beloved Aboriginal family and returned to France. Set against the backdrop of the spread of European settlement into northern Queensland, and the brutal frontier wars that it provoked, this is a well-researched and very interesting account of a young man caught between two cultures.

The Second Sleep by Robert Harris Hutchinson, $32.99

Robert Harris’ The Second Sleep will surprise dads expecting a routine historical thriller. It opens in 1468 with a young priest, Christopher Fairfax, riding to a remote Exmoor village to conduct the funeral of the old local priest who has died suddenly. Fairfax only plans on being there for a day or so, but becomes caught up in the dead priest’s fascination with old artefacts and begins to suspect that it is this interest that led to his death. After the fi rst three chapters, the book takes a most unexpected turn that will shock most readers and keep them avidly turning the pages all the way to the surprising conclusion.

The Writing On The Wall by Juliet Rieden Macmillan, $32.99

Finally, Australian journalist Juliet Rieden provides a poignant account of her father’s life. In 1939, as Hitler’s troops were marching on Prague, Juliet’s father, then eight years old, was smuggled out of Czechoslovakia to England. His parents stayed behind and were eventually sent to a concentration camp. Juliet grew up in England and was largely unaware of the tragic background of her father and his family. After his death in 2006, she started to research her father’s family history and uncovered a sad tale of cruelty, courage and kindness that also helped her better understand her father and what he went through. A fascinating and heartfelt journey of discovery.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (MA15+) In February 1969, Hollywood, former Western television star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio), laments the ending of his career to his best friend and former stunt double, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt). Soon the duo see Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie) and her famous husband, director Roman Polanski, move into the house next door of their gated community. Quentin Tarantino movie releases are now events. Still a darling of 1990s independent film, Tarantino’s new effort is his first film to break away from the Weinstein Company. This hasn’t slowed fans wanting to see what is considered to be his magnum opus: a love-letter to 1960s Hollywood. Tarantino blends the ambience of the period, its stars and fictitious characters in a

dream-like piece anchored by Dalton trying to resurrect his career via Western cinema, and Booth, his best friend and odd-job employee, who, for all intents and purposes, lives his life as a cowboy. Their way of life is coming to an end, symbolised by the emergence of the hippy movement and a growing sense of dread from the Manson family. Running close to three hours, the movie takes its time, languishing in its setting and characters. Entire scenes may be considered superfluous and indulgent, however, if you are a fan of Tarantino you will lap it up. Verdict: A fairy-tale look at a period of pop-culture history that, like the fabled ‘American dream’, was never tangible in the first place. 3.5 stars. - Luke McWilliams

“The timing of Belfast Girls and its story of 1850 Irish women emigrating to Australia is perfect.” BROKEN LEG REVIEWS

A creative partnership with The Q

Set on a ship, bound for Australia, Belfast Girls tells the story of five of Earl Grey’s Irish ‘orphans’. In the 1850s thousands of Irish girls were given the chance to travel to Australia to escape the famine, and to find a better life under Lord Earl Grey’s ‘orphan scheme’. This is their story.

we have a fulltime obstacle course, The Arena. One of the first things to consider when doing an obstacle course is how you land when jumping down from walls, into pits or off an obstacle. Get this wrong and your part in the event may be over! Always think of safety and take your time when landing – you can always make those few seconds back up on the run.

Get Spartan ready Swarms of Canberrans will be climbing, jumping, swinging, pushing and pulling one another around a 5km loop full of obstacles when Canberra hosts its first ever Spartan event on 26 October. In the lead-up, I’ll be offering some great tips for taking on the event’s obstacle course, with a training program that will ensure you smash the course and enjoy it. I love obstacle training and events – I’ve been teaching and instructing for obstacle courses for over 30 years, and at B.Firm HQ here in Canberra

Let’s look at how we jump on, and off, a 1.2-1.5m wall: • Look at the ground as you approach the wall to make sure there are no holes or objects. • Run at the wall with a steady speed. • Place a foot onto the wall (this will act as a ‘spring’). Place your hands on the top of the wall, and push up simultaneously with your leg, pulling up with your hands. • As you move up onto or over the wall, keep your balance! If you need to, stop and sit on top of the wall to rebalance and position ready to jump. • As you’re moving off the wall, keep your feet shoulder-width apart and bend your knees. This is the safest and best position to land as your body weight is evenly distributed. Bent knees will act as a spring, absorbing the impact of the landing. As you land, have your hands up with your arms slightly bent to help with balance.

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

• Once you clear the wall (or any obstacle), clear the landing area straight away. People will be following you and you want to avoid a collision. WORKOUT For this one, you’ll need a skipping rope and a box or bench. Repeat each of the following exercises three times: • 20m run at 60% • 100 x skips • 20m run back to starting position • 10 x jump from one foot to land on two feet (legs shoulder-width apart) • 10 x squat jumps (as you jump, imagine you are landing from an obstacle) • 10 x step ups (each leg) • 5 x jump down from the box or bench (prepare yourself to jump, feet shoulder-width apart, focus on your landing) • 5 x 30m run at 70% • 10 x dips

Colour theory

Based on photos Houzz users saved to their Ideabooks most often from January through May, Houzz Australia and New Zealand editor, Vanessa Walker says three key trends we can expect to appear this spring include: • outdoor entertaining (try a circular seating arrangement around a fire pit to encourage conversation and a warm atmosphere) • the look of exterior furniture moving closer to that of interior furniture • modest luxury with homeowners reducing or completely removing lawn and introducing features such as outdoor kitchens, decking and pergolas.

Looking to update the colour of your home? According to Lisa Rickert, founder and CEO of Jolie Home, you need to consider a room’s overall style when selecting colours for the space. Take into account the colours of all of the surfaces – such as walls, floors, ceilings, furniture and accessories – to make sure they are coordinated with appropriate contrast between them. If you’re going for a Scandi style, keep it light using as much white as possible for walls, floors and ceilings. Incorporate as many natural materials as possible using a minimalist approach to furnishings. Another popular style is Modern Farmhouse, which combines a mix of neutral colours and loads of texture.

Beggar’s buttons, or greater burdock, a nutritional root crop commonly used in Asian cuisine.

Garden to plate: beggar’s buttons Arctium lappa, commonly known as beggar’s buttons, greater burdock, gobo and many others, is a tall biennial plant of up to 3m. The sweet long narrow roots and immature flower stalks tasting of its relative, the artichoke, are used in a variety of ways including as a vegetable (fresh, stir-fried, steamed, baked and fermented to make shiso and rice wine), and in a range of traditional medicinal applications. The purple flowers aren’t unlike scotch thistle in appearance and the resulting fruit, which can be an irritant, is spread large

distances by wind and animals. Beggar’s buttons contain a wide range of vitamins and minerals including high levels of amino acids, phosphorous, potassium, iron, calcium, vitamin B6 and folate. Beggar’s buttons are a warm season crop whose roots can be harvested around four months after sowing the seed and before they become fibrous and bitter with age. They prefer a sunny aspect in a rich, deep soil high in nitrogen. This plant is not suitable for warmer climates or near conservation areas as it has a high weed potential.

Record price for Moncrieff A sale in Moncrieff has smashed the suburb record by $60,000, when 30 Slim Dusty Circuit sold on Wednesday 14 August. The four-bedroom, Hamptons-inspired home sold for $1,010,000, eclipsing the previous suburb record of $950,000. Hive’s director, residential and project sales, Josh Morrissey, said both the vendors and the new owners were elated with the sale. “We achieved what we had set out to do so [the vendors] were very happy. “[The new owners were] over the moon, they had been searching for the perfect house and they found it,” he said. 30 Slim Dusty Circuit was on the market for eight weeks, and Morrissey said the home received a lot of interest throughout the campaign. “The home received a lot of compliments throughout the campaign and it’s clear why; it’s stunning. Moncrieff is a new suburb and price

WorkSafe ACT to be independent

30 Slim Dusty Circuit in Moncrieff sold for $1,010,000, smashing the Moncrieff suburb record by $60,000.

ceilings are still being set there, and we found buyers were not confident to commit past the $1 million mark. “We love pushing the boundaries in this place which has resulted in the second suburb record in Canberra for Hive this year. Moncrieff holds many quality homes yet to hit the market so stay tuned,” he said.

Legislation introduced into the Legislative Assembly will see WorkSafe ACT established as an independent entity, as a result of an independent review’s recommendations. The new entity will be established as the Office of the Work Health and Safety Commissioner, but continue to trade as WorkSafe ACT. The regulator’s functions will now sit with the Work Health and Safety Commissioner. ACT Minister for Employment and Workplace Safety, Rachel Stephen Smith, said WorkSafe ACT and the Commissioner would be independent officers when carrying out functions under work health and safety legislation, and would be subject to new reporting requirements and a new compliance enforcement policy.

Calls for compulsory insulation A consortium of ACT community organisations has called on the ACT Government to make ceiling insulation mandatory in rental properties. The Conservation Council ACT Region, the ACT Council of Social Services (ACTCOSS) and renting advocacy group, Better Renting, have called on the Government to make the insulation compulsory, to complement changes to the Energy Efficiency Improvement Scheme (EEIS) announced last week. The expansion of the EEIS incentivises a transition to electric heating, as well as supporting residential insulation. “It’s good news that the EEIS has expand-

ed the range of activities that can be offered by energy retailers, and including insulation is common sense as it delivers immediate improvements in comfort and energy savings,” said Conservation Council ACT Region executive director, Helen Oakley. “Unfortunately, while most home owners don’t think twice about installing ceiling insulation as a basic measure, rental properties often aren’t well insulated”. Better Renting’s executive director Joel Dignam said the rebate is a good step, but said renters were at risk of being “locked out of the benefits”.

“Past experience of the EEIS and other programs suggests that landlords do not voluntarily take up opportunities to improve their properties. To complement the rebates, the ACT Government should require landlords to ensure sure their properties are adequately insulated,” he said. ACTCOSS executive director Susan Helyar agreed, and said expanding the EEIS would make a difference to many people, particularly those living in public housing. “ACTCOSS also wants to see increased energy efficiency standards for rental housing so that quality improves”.

minutes to Canberra City.” Boasting five bedrooms with built in-robes, the master with walk-in robe and ensuite, this home has room for the whole family. “The home has a recentlyrenovated kitchen and bathrooms, boasting 313sqm of living with five bedrooms and a 10-car garage,” Velnaar says. Unique features are around every corner in this spacious home, including the sunken lounge area, leadlight feature windows and the grand fireplaces. Velnaar says there is also a “full-sized tennis court, swimming pool and multiple entertaining areas” throughout the home, as well as a pool room and a large home office.

There’s also a vegetable patch to grow your own produce and a cubby house to keep the kids happy. With space, light and something for everyone,111 Ridgeway Road

offers the perfect lifestyle for the growing family, close to all the amenities you need.

A builder’s own masterpiece Forde 6 Chiesa Street When buying a builder’s own home, you know you’re getting the very best in quality. 6 Chiesa Street in the Gungahlin suburb of Forde is just that; a builder’s home that has been designed with quality in mind, including high-end features, fixtures and fittings. LJ Hooker Kippax sales consultant and senior auctioneer, Johnathan Davis, says this home has been “thoughtfully designed

and tastefully finished”. “With multiple living areas, segregated bedrooms and a perfect suburban location, this property suits families who insist on the very best. “This home will ideally suit houseproud homeowners seeking an upgrade into a bespoke, thoughtfully designed and tastefully finished builder’s own home, who want million dollar luxury without a million dollar price tag,” he says. Upping the luxe factor are the high ceilings soaring above the grand and light-filled kitchen and lounge area, complemented by the custom wooden staircase leading to the upper level. The designer kitchen oozes luxury, lifted with a pop of colour and a statement pendant rangehood. The master bedroom on the upper level is accompanied by a walk-in robe and ensuite, as well as a parent’s retreat area and another bedroom – perfect for a study or nursery. The ground floor houses the remaining two bedrooms, one with built-in robe and one with walk-in robe, the large main bathroom with spa bath, separate toilet and the laundry. The ground floor also features the large, open-plan kitchen and lounge area, dining area and a separate rumpus room. Outside, take in the landscaped backyard from the covered alfresco entertaining area, and

enjoy internal access from the double lock-up garage. Davis says the home’s location is tough to beat, “located only a few steps from a popular local school, playing fields and the revered Forde shops, with popular ‘Frankie’s’ fast becoming a Canberra institution”. “A change in circumstances has meant this proud builder owner must reluctantly sell their pride and joy. Our clear instructions insist on a sale by auction day.”

WALLAROO LOT 1 WALLAROO ROAD

Located within the Yass Valley Shire on Wallaroo Road is this extremely rare opportunity to secure a very large 106.6-hectare (263.4 acre) parcel of land so close to the ACT and positioned right on the border of NSW and the Territory. Offering superb views of the Brindabellas and surrounding countryside this fantastic block is located on a sealed road just 2kms off the Barton Highway, 2 minutes from Hall, 12 minutes to the Belconnen Town Centre and approx 18km northwest of Canberra City. Fully-fenced into 6 paddocks, the gently undulating grassy pastureland is predominantly clear of vegetation and adjoins the Gooromon Ponds Creek providing a permanent water source, in addition to 3 dams (one currently dry). The land is zoned as Primary Production and would qualify for a building permit (subject to council approval) allowing you to build your dream country home. Or for developers, there is the potential (again, subject to council approval) to subdivide the block under current council LEP zoning regulations, making this a great investment. An opportunity not to be missed. Please note that the property does not have infrastructure, power, town water or sewerage connected and that boundary lines shown in photos are approximate. Please email cchurchill@pbbel.com.au for tender documents.

This Disney animation is a mythic adventure set in the South Pacific 2000 years ago. The heroine is Moana (voice of Auli’i Cravalho, pictured), a teenager who sets out on a daring mission to save her people when a crisis hits their island. Along the way she meets smug demigod Maui (a scene-stealing Dwayne Johnson), who learns a thing or two from his teenage protégé.

Adapted from the memoirs of holocaust survivor Wladyslaw Szpilman (Adrien Brody, pictured), Roman Polanski’s masterpiece charts Szpilman’s descent from a dandy Warsaw celebrity to a dishevelled shadow of a man. Never reducing the characters to simple shades of black and white, Polanski’s chilling study of humanity is a poignant cinematic achievement.

celebrity birthday ELIZABETH DEBICKI 24 August 1990 Despite the challenges that await Elizabeth during the next 12 months, she will still find it an industrious and productive year if she channels her energies wisely. She will achieve a lot, speeding along trying to finish as much as she can in the shortest time possible. If she uses discipline and directs her energy purposely she will overcome any negative influences. Elizabeth needs to be careful of being tetchy with her friends and loved ones or she risks putting them offside.

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

There could be troubles with friends and lovers; both could be difficult to deal with because of their attitudes or actual concerns. Try to mend bridges between them to avoid conflicts. You can devote your time to loved ones, both a partner’s and yours, without making one party feeling chosen over another.

Rough emotions may surface pertaining to love. To avoid any fights, don’t poke or prod your loved ones. Respect your friends, lovers and colleagues’ boundaries to avoid confrontations with them. Setting boundaries for both parties is healthy. If an issue arises that is bothersome, bring it up.

You must guard against being

While there’s nothing to worry about long term, in the short term your finances take a downturn. Keep a tight grip on your cash, since impulsive spending could give you plenty of cause for regret later. A disappointing bank statement could reinforce your commitment to tighten the belt.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY Taurus your stubborn nature means you may have let some family problems simmer on the backburner for far too long. If this is the case, everything you’ve been ignoring could potentially come to boil over and make a big mess this fortnight. It’s never too late to clear the air.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE Be conscious of your speech and actions as someone is likely to take offence, most probably a loved one or someone you truly value. Sometimes your sign has a problem with footin-mouth disease. You would also be best advised to avoid gossip among your friends and loved ones.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG Leo, you’re full of fire on a good day. But sometimes you can end up using your fire to burn everything to the ground. If you don’t want to spend the second half of August sorting through the ashes of former relationships, keep the proverbial fire extinguisher handy.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT Keep to the straight and narrow and you can’t go wrong. You need some peace and quiet so rest up and take it easy in the tranquillity of your own space. Allow yourself at least some time this week to just sit there and do not much at all.

manipulated, bullied or controlled into doing something which goes against your better judgment. Avoid slick salesmen like the plague and don’t agree to anything on the phone or on the doorstep just to get the vendor off your back.

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

you can’t take it back.

Aquarius, you’re always content going your own way and this week is no exception. Whether it’s a job, relationship or living space, if you feel like you’ve stayed at the proverbial party too long, now’s the time to make your exit. While starting over can be scary, you’re skilled at blazing your own trail.

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR

Scorpio, you might feel inspired to speak your mind this week, but that’s not exactly a good thing, especially if you’re in a relationship that’s hit a rough spot. Your sharp tongue will likely get you into trouble. Remember, once you say something,

You may take delight in expressing your truth to your partner, friends, loved ones and colleagues however don’t expect it to win you friends or to influence people. While you may find it funny, others are going to find it a little too blunt for comfort.

This is an ideal time for you to retreat into yourself and reflect upon your progress. It’s also a wonderful time to repay anything owed to others, such as money, goods or obligations. You may not feel much like talking and may want to be alone more than usual.

My favourite things FAMILY My family are very important to me and I love that we live within walking distance of each other so we can spend lots of time together. I am lucky to be able to spend lots of time with our beautiful grandchildren.

GOLF I took up golf about 10 years ago … and try to play as much as I can (usually at least once a week). I am a member of the Queanbeyan Golf Club where I have made many friends and enjoy playing on one of the best courses in the region.

COOKING I enjoy looking though recipe books and spending time preparing meals especially for family dinners. My favourite meals are usually comfort foods, recipes that are tried and true, although I must admit trying to please the grandchildren can be challenging.

ME TIME I am sure I am not alone when I say that a few hours of time on your own curled up on the lounge watching episodes of a favourite show is always a treat, for me the shows are Grand Designs or Selling Houses.

Lee Maiden CEO Communities@Work

Formally named CEO of Communities@Work in January, Lee Maiden has a long history with the organisation having originally started as a volunteer 30 years ago. After gaining qualifications in early childhood education, Lee made her way through the organisation and was deputy CEO for about seven years before stepping up into the lead role. She says part of her enjoyment of working with Communities@Work is “we’ve always worked to make sure we are enriching lives for people in the Canberra community”. Community is key for Lee, who was born in Canberra and has “lived here all my life”. 130

PIZZA Pizza is my favourite food or anything Italian really. I grew up with an Italian family living close by and always loved being invited over to enjoy their wonderful authentic Italian food. We have had a couple of holidays in Italy and I have always found one of the highlights to be the culinary experience.
