This week... From the editor As corona virus Covid-19 continues to spread, people around the globe – from Australia, Brazil, Canada and China to Indonesia, Iran, Italy and South Korea – have been hunkering down. In some countries, business and industry has largely ground to a halt while schools, universities and major tourist attractions have been closed. Many with travel plans – here and abroad – have changed, curtailed or cancelled them; the upside being there are plenty of holiday bargains to be found, for those prepared to take the risk. The World Health Organization has released advice on the best protective measures to take, such as: wash your hands frequently; maintain social distancing (handshakes optional); avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth; practise respiratory hygiene; if you have a fever, seek medical care early. Visit who.int/emergencies/ diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019 for more. Reasons to be grateful this past week include pleasant weather and excellent air quality that enabled us to enjoy summer’s last hurrah, a fun night aboard HMS Pinafore at The Q, hilarity at Spamalot at The Playhouse, an enchanting opening night of Enlighten and the Night Noodle Markets being looked after at the Fever-Tree Ultimate G&T Bar, delightful dinner with friends, brisk Sunday morning walk, meeting a friend’s new baby, and brazil nuts (their selenium content offers health benefits). Stay safe, dear readers. - Julie Samaras

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr (fourth from right) with ACT Emergency Services Agency (ACT ESA) Commissioner Georgeina Whelan (third from right), has acknowledged ‘summer’s heroes’ as the Canberra Citizen of the Year 2020. Image supplied.

Emergency services personnel honoured All members of the ACT Emergency Services Agency (ACT ESA) and ACT Parks and Conservation have been named Canberra Citizen of the Year for 2020. Announced on Monday 2 March, the honour recognises their outstanding efforts and cooperation in responding to the unprecedented conditions experienced during the summer. The Canberra Citizen of the Year award is presented each year to an individual or a group who have made an outstanding contribution to the Canberra community. ACT ESA Commissioner Georgeina Whelan said

she was “proud of the commitment, integrity and determination that every single individual within our whole team displayed during summer”. “This incredible team, of staff and volunteers across the ESA and ACT Parks and Conservation, worked together as a team of teams to ensure the safety of Canberrans,” she said. “It was a true representation of us working together to care and protect Canberra.” Highlighting their efforts, after what had been almost 40 days of constant operations for the ACT ESA, the Orroral Valley Fire in the Namadgi National Park was finally declared ‘out’ on Thursday 27 February.

ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the challenge following the fire is ecological recovery of the national park. He said the fire has burned through 83% of the park and it is “one of the biggest ecological disasters in our history”, which will take an “extensive and coordinated recovery effort to repair the damage”. Canberrans are invited to show their thanks by writing a message of support to our local heroes at specially set up ‘Appreciation Stations’ at four Canberra Day in the Suburbs events on Saturday 7 March. Canberra Day in the Suburbs will run from 11am to 2pm at Margaret Timpson Park, Belconnen; between the library and Gungahlin College, Gungahlin; Weston Creek Community Centre, Cooleman Court, Weston; and Tuggeranong Town Park, Tuggeranong. The messages will be broadcast on screens next to the musical stage at the main Canberra Day event on Monday 9 March 11am-6pm, this year at its new location in the Parliamentary Triangle. Representatives of the organisations will receive the Canberra Citizen of the Year award on Monday 9 March 6pm at the main stage at the Canberra Day celebrations, John Dunmore Lang Place, Parkes ACT. There will also be a Volunteer Family Picnic on Saturday 4 April 11am at Tuggeranong Town Park.

Autism hub to provide early intervention Families will be able to access autism-specific early intervention in the ACT from 2021 with a purpose-built facility being constructed in Garran. The AEIOU Garran Centre for Autism will be owned and operated by AEIOU Foundation and marks the Foundation’s entry into the ACT. The centre is made possible with $3.5 million capital funding from the John James Foundation and, once complete, will deliver early intervention for up to 40 children per year and capacity for research and training. John James Foundation CEO Joe Roff said that discussion with the AEIOU Foundation was initiated two years ago, with a goal to bring AEIOU’s expertise to Canberra for the benefit of the community. “Canberra families have previously relocated to Queensland to access these services. Families will now be able to stay close to family and friends, with the autism-specific support they need,” Mr Roff said. One such family was the Meilaks. Brian Meilak’s son Zachary was diagnosed with autism when he was four. Mr Meilak said when 6

the National Disability Insurance Scheme arrived in the ACT, a lot of services were shut down or reduced, prompting them to look at other options. It resulted in the family being separated for a year in 2015 as Mr Meilak stayed in Canberra with his daughter Lily while his wife Katy and Zachary went to Brisbane to access autism services with AEIOU. Mr Meilak said his son “would be a different child if he didn’t go to AEIOU” as the centre provided help with toilet training, speech, behaviour and more. “I’m very happy that we did that because as a parent if you had a decision to do something … it was one regret I didn’t want to have.” Zachary is now in Year 3 at Bonython Primary, in a learning support unit, and is starting to go to mainstream classes. AEIOU Foundation CEO Alan Smith said early intervention “offers hope, unlocks potential and opens up possibilities for families and their young children at a critical time of their life”. A sod turning event was held on Wednesday

The centre will feature four therapy rooms, dedicated motor skills development space, four activity rooms, indoor and outdoor play areas, and on-site parking. It will cater for children aged between two and six years who will be supported by a specialist team comprised of Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists, Behavioural Therapists and Early Childhood Educators. - Allison Turnbull

capital hill Coronavirus will be a real test of the system ustralians should be really grateful for something called the Biosecurity Act. That gives the Chief Medical Officer independent discretionary power to take control when a health crisis is either with us or pending. The current incumbent is Dr Brendan Murphy. Two weeks ago he informed his minister, Greg Hunt, he was invoking the Act and that triggered the formal response to the public health threat that is the coronavirus. Now called COVID-19 because coronavirus is a generic viral infection similar to SARS and triggered by the same factors; those factors being the appetite for wild game. In this case, animals like bats but also other species not generally considered appetising by many Australians. That the latest threat to world health began in China is particularly

problematic. From Australia’s point of view it is because the giant Asian economy is our biggest trading partner. It imports billions of dollars’ worth of our coal and iron ore but, more to the point here, it is the source of multi-billion dollar exports in the education sector. Chinese students in our secondary colleges and universities are considered exports. Should the travel bans continue much longer we are in grave danger of losing out to countries like Canada that followed World Health Organisation (WHO) advice and did not impose travel bans on them. That’s one issue. The other is tourism. Here we are in a real pickle. China is the lion’s share of our tourism sector. 1.2 million a year come here and are the biggest spenders, something in the vicinity of $7,000 each – buying expensive

consumer good souvenirs and staying in our hotels and resorts. The tourism industry is now bracing for a collapse in the trade. We could see more than 1.5 million from China and elsewhere not travel here. People everywhere are being advised to curtail their travel, bans or not. But we are not alone. As Treasurer Josh Frydenberg told us after attending the G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meeting in Saudi Arabia last week, COVID-19 could see “the shutters come down on the world economy”. But thanks to Dr Brendan Murphy, our government was given no choice but to be fast out of the blocks. As the Sydney Morning Herald’s Peter Hartcher accurately said on the weekend, we have “a prime minister who trembles on

WITH PAUL BONGIORNO AM CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

the brink of inaction” – evidence for this was the response to the catastrophic bushfires. But once Murphy triggered the Biosecurity Act, it was up to Morrison to respond and it seems, burnt once, the Prime Minister had no appetite to be singed again. All good. Australia was ahead of the WHO declaring a pandemic emergency with a plan triggered to meet it. But this is the acid test. Health Minister Greg Hunt is talking about a surge capacity for our hospitals to meet if needed. Really? There is a surge at Canberra Hospital every day, and around the country, that is not being met.

ACT tops quality of life index The ACT has ranked first in the nation in the newly launched Social Progress Index (SPI) from the Centre for Social Impact (CSI). The CSI is a collaboration between the University of New South Wales, Swinburne University of Technology and the University of Western Australia. The SPI looks at a number of key performance areas in each State and Territory from 2015 to 2018, independent of economic factors like

Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The ACT ranked first in the country for each year, in each of the overarching categories: basic human needs, foundations of wellbeing, and opportunity. Researchers noted the ACT scored particularly highly in the sub-categories of personal rights, access to basic knowledge and access to advanced education. An area of improvement, according to the research, is personal freedom and

choice, where the ACT ranked 4th in 2018, but up from 7th in 2015. CSI chief executive Kristy Muir said the SPI is an index that reveals “how the people and environment are faring in each of our States and Territories”. “GDP can often be a misleading measurement of progress as it tells us nothing about people’s quality of life,” said Professor Muir. “The purpose of the SPI is to ensure a clear, singular vision of what social progress looks like in Australia and encourage and support governments to see the gaps and commit to funding and outcomes solutions. “Importantly, the findings are reflective of the policies and social contexts of the States and Territories, not an indicator of how progressive actual individuals living in those jurisdictions are,” she said. While there was a positive correlation between SPI scores and the median net wealth of households,

there was a slight negative correlation when measured against the Gross State Product per capita. Lead CSI researcher Megan Weier said she hopes the launch of the SPI would spur governments to include a measurement of social progress in indicators moving forward. “Countries such as Paraguay have adopted the SPI alongside GDP as its measurable indicator of national development,” Dr Weier said. “We want to change the conversation around social outcomes and inequality in Australia using relevant facts and data, not just GDP.” The SPI launch comes as the ACT Government prepares to launch the ACT Wellbeing Framework on 12 March, to measure a range of factors that are important to Canberrans and their quality of life. Chief Minister Andrew Barr did not respond to Canberra Weekly’s questions about the SPI results and the ACT’s own wellbeing indicators before deadline.

suspensions That’s a wrap: Canberra Show a ‘smash hit’ Rego for unsafe airbags The 2020 ActewAGL Royal Canberra Show is done and dusted for another year, with organisers declaring the event a “smash hit”. Royal National Capital Agricultural Society (RNCAS) general manager Michael Kennedy said the team were “very happy” with attendance

figures, which were at over 40,000 for the weekend, from 28 February to 1 March. “These are up from our 2019 event, and are good attendance figures for a three-day event. We were very lucky to have had perfect weather for the event which helps immensely.” Mr Kennedy said commercial exhibitors and stall holders were “really happy” with the attendance figures, as many missed out on a number of regional shows that have been cancelled in recent months due to fire and weather conditions. “So to have had a good weekend of trade at the 2020 ActewAGL Royal Canberra Show has been a big lift for those business owners and their staff,” he said. RNCAS president Rick Jones said it is important to find ways to support communities doing it tough. “The RNCAS are proud to have been able to support fire and drought affected communities at the 2020 Show by facilitating donations to a number of charity organisations helping feed livestock and rebuilding efforts after natural disasters,” he said. Organisers are already planning for next year’s show, to be held at the end of February 2021.

ACT motorists who fail to act and get their vehicle’s faulty airbags replaced may have their registration refused, suspended or cancelled. Amendments to the ACT Road transport legislation were finalised in January 2020, which provide Access Canberra with the power to refuse, cancel or suspend the registration of vehicles subject to a compulsory or voluntary recall notice (issued or published under the Australian Consumer Law). ACT Commissioner for Fair Trading, David Snowden, said this change in legislation gives Access Canberra the power to take compromised vehicles off the road, such as cars with the faulty Takata airbags. According to Access Canberra, the ACT has nine registered vehicles with Takata ‘Alpha’ airbags installed, with repeated attempts made to contact the vehicle owners since the recalls began. Motorists who are unsure if their vehicle is affected by the recall are encouraged to visit the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries website at ismyairbagsafe.com.au

Gordon Ramsay MLA and COTA ACT CEO Jenny Mobbs turned the first sod to mark construction starting on the Hughes Men’s Shed. Photo Kerrie Brewer.

Woden to get its first Men’s Shed Construction began last week on the Hughes Men’s Shed, which is set to be the first of its kind servicing the Woden community. COTA ACT CEO Jenny Mobbs said turning the first sod at Hughes has been four and a half

years in the making. “Working with Woden Community Services, they wanted a Men’s Shed at the time. A couple of their staff members and I visited nearly every empty site in Woden.

“We couldn’t find anything except for this block of land, and in the end ACT Property Group came and had a look and said ‘this will be ideal’. Ms Mobbs said being next to the Hughes Community Centre is advantageous as it has a number of necessary services and a high number of seniors regularly passing through; all the hallmarks of a symbiotic relationship. “Men’s sheds are very good at sharing tools, utensils, equipment and so forth. “Being the sort of place that COTA (Council on the Ageing) is, a lot of people when their husband passes on for example, they leave behind a workshop full of tools, and we’re hoping to get lots of donations.” ACT Minister for Seniors and Veterans Gordon Ramsay said at the sod turning that Men’s Sheds, of which there are 32 in the Canberra region, do a lot to build

community. “They build strength of support for each other; build a sense of camaraderie, a sense of mateship.” A member of the Melba Men’s Shed, Mr Ramsay said the sheds provide an invaluable outlet and support network for the men who need it. “Men deal with things as men deal with things, so it’s good for us to have particular ways of working through, and making sure we’re able to support one another. “If you want to speak to a guy about something or other, you stand next to them rather than in front of them. They work alongside each other and talk while they’re doing something else.” Construction of the shed will take approximately three months. In the meantime, a committee will be established to run Hughes Men’s Shed once it’s complete. - Denholm Samaras

Calling Canberra home

“I grew up in Malaysia, where I spoke Mandarin at school and Cantonese at home, as well as learning English,” he says. “It’s not always easy for patients who don’t speak English or it is their second language. “One day, an elderly gentleman came in with a very red eye. As he only spoke Mandarin, his daughter was with him to interpret. I’d spotted the diagnosis straight away – a subconjunctival haemorrhage, which often looks terrible as the eye is full of blood. Fortunately, I was able to reassure him in Mandarin that the condition would resolve itself. It is painless and no treatment is required. Had I not been able to speak to him directly, it would have taken far longer for his daughter to translate and he may have struggled to accept that my advice was to do nothing.” And when Dr Lee is not on duty? “I’m working six days a week, so Sunday is my precious family day. We may go for a nice lunch and just spend time together. I like to visit wineries and am currently exploring different wineries around the Canberra district when time permits. My favourite at the moment is Clonakilla in Murrumbateman, which I discovered through a patient.”

Dr Lee is taking new patients at Ochre Health’s clinics in Garran (6281 0033) or Bruce (6180 8500). Bookings: ochrehealth.com.au

River has shown strong baseline flow levels that have allowed council to bring Braidwood’s off-river storage dam back up to 100% capacity. Meanwhile, water restrictions in Bungendore will remain at Level 1 for the time being, but QPRC predicts these will be lifted after a review in mid-March.

Leisure centre to open mid-year The ACT Government’s $36.49 million Stromlo Leisure Centre in Molonglo Valley is on track to be completed by mid-2020. Following a competitive tender process, YMCA NSW

has been awarded the contract to operate the centre which features a 50m pool, program pool, leisure pool, toddlers’ pool, splash park, gym, crèche and space for community members to enjoy.

Party registration reminder New parties intending to register for the 2020 ACT election have just under four months left to do so. ACT Electoral Commissioner Damian Cantwell said new parties who wish to run candidates in the 2020 election must lodge their applications by 30 June. “Applications for new parties must be accompanied by the constitution of the party and the names of at least 100 members of the party who are

on the ACT electoral roll,” Mr Cantwell said. “The candidate nomination period for the 2020 ACT election does not open until 11 September and will close at 12 noon on 23 September. Both party and non-party candidates must wait until this nomination period to be formally recognised as a candidate in the election.” There are currently eight political parties registered to contest the election in October.

After completing his studies in Newcastle and then working in various local and rural emergency departments, Dr Ken Lee and his family are happy to call Canberra home. “We love it here. It’s a wonderful city for our two kids, with many things to do like Questacon, the zoo, museums and playgrounds.” Dr Lee has chosen general practice medicine, which he says is personally rewarding. “Working in hospitals, I didn’t get to know my patients or see their progress in their ‘healing journey’, which is what I love about being a GP,” he said. “There are fewer family doctors giving cradle-to-grave care nowadays in many primary care settings, but this is my aim. I only started with Ochre Health in August, but already I am pleased to have many patients that call me their GP and to build relationships with them and their families.” With his hospital background, Dr Lee says he has seen patients coming in with a variety of medical issues: “I’m comfortable looking after someone with mild symptoms or a patient who has more serious issues.” He also has a strong interest in paediatrics. “Being a father myself, and having worked in ED, I have cared for really sick kids before and it’s quite a gift to now see relatively healthy kids and keep them that way.” His other interests include skin cancer medicine and preventative healthcare. Dr Lee hopes to make life easier for patients whose first language is Cantonese or Mandarin.

Water restrictions in Braidwood NSW will be fully lifted from Friday 6 March, although residents are asked to comply with permanent water conservation measures.

Brumbies match relocated The Brumbies’ round six Super Rugby fixture against the Sunwolves has been relocated to WIN Stadium, Wollongong. The decision was announced on 28 February, and is one of two matches that SANZAAR has relocated, that were due to be played in Japan during March, to minimise the risks associated with coronavirus. This follows the Japanese Government’s decision to postpone sporting events in the country for at least two weeks. The Brumbies and Sunwolves

were due to meet in Osaka on 8 March but the match will now take place on Friday 6 March 2.45pm before the NSW Waratahs host the Chiefs at the same venue that night. All Brumbies members will be given free admission into the stadium on presentation of proof of membership. In Super W action, the Brumbies were beaten by the Waratahs 41-8 on Friday 28 February. The Brumbies have the bye in round four, before taking on the Reds at home in round five.

Image and text from TheFeelGood Family Food Plan by Dr Joanna McMillan with Melissa Clark, photography by Alan Benson, Murdoch Books, RRP $35. 120g buckwheat flour

This is an edited extract from Moon Milk by Gina Fontana, published by Hardie Grant Books, RRP $24.99, and is available in stores from 1 January 2020.

Lavender chamomile moon milk

100g hazelnut meal 2 tsp baking powder 1 tsp mixed spice 3 ripe bananas, mashed (about 300g in total)

500ml unsweetened almond milk

1 chamomile tea bag

1/3 cup (115g) honey

1 tsp dried lavender buds (foodgrade), plus extra to garnish (optional)

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

2 large eggs, lightly whisked

Pinch of salt

1/4 cup (60ml) mild-flavoured extra virgin olive oil

2 Tbsp honey (or maple syrup, if vegan) Lavender and chamomile have been used for many years to help people snooze. The sedative effect is caused by apigenin, a nutrient that reduces anxiety, leaving you feeling relaxed and sleepy – perfect for unwinding before bedtime.

With the combination of cardamom, turmeric, cinnamon and ginger, this boldly spiced recipe not only helps you sleep like a baby, but also combats any nasty bugs as you do so, making this a win-win night-time treat.

1 cup (125g) fresh or frozen raspberries

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 10 x 20cm loaf tin with baking paper, allowing the paper to extend over the sides. Sift the flour, hazelnut meal, baking powder and mixed spice into a large mixing bowl. Combine the mashed bananas with the honey, eggs and oil. Stir into the dry ingredients until just combined. Reserve about 12 raspberries for decoration. Gently stir the remaining raspberries through the batter. Spoon the batter into the tin, then top with the reserved raspberries. Bake for about 50-60 minutes or until the loaf is cooked through when tested with a skewer. If the skewer comes out sticky, bake the loaf for a further 5-10 minutes. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.

The combination of lavender and chamomile also has digestive- and nervoussystem-sedating properties, making this lavender chamomile moon milk the perfect after-dinner beverage. Lavender chamomile tea has been a popular blend over the years, and this milk ups your tea game and ignites your senses using a flavour combination that is very much an old favourite. Add your chamomile tea bag to the saucepan along with all the other ingredients. You can let your milk simmer a bit longer for a more potent chamomile flavour. You may also wish to strain your milk to remove the lavender buds prior to drinking. 29

Churros with chocolate dipping sauce Image and text from Epic Air Fryer Cookbook by Emily Paster, photography by Leigh Olson. Harvard Common Press, RRP $24.99.

To make the chocolate sauce, place the chopped chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Combine the cream and corn syrup in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer. Pour the warm cream mixture over the chocolate and stir until the chocolate is melted. Add the cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Set aside.

Makes: 12-14 churros

To make the churros, combine 1 tablespoon (14g) of the butter, the water, 1 tablespoon (13g) of the sugar, and the salt in a medium saucepan. Melt the butter over low heat. Add the flour and stir vigorously to form a dough ball. Continue to cook, stirring until the mixture looks dry and thick, 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature. Once cool, beat in the eggs one at a time, making sure the first egg is fully incorporated before adding the second. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

Chocolate sauce 115g semisweet chocolate, finely chopped 1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream 1/4 cup (85g) light corn syrup 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper Churros 3 Tbsp (45g) unsalted butter, divided 1 cup (240ml) water 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar, plus 1 Tbsp (13g) Pinch kosher salt 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour 2 eggs Vegetable oil for spraying 2 tsp cinnamon

Place the churros batter into a piping bag outfitted with an extralarge tip, round or star-shaped. Spray the basket of the air fryer with oil. Working in batches, pipe churros that are 13 to 15cm long and 2 to 2.5 cm in diameter directly onto the air fryer basket. Do not crowd the basket. Use a knife or scissors to cut the dough when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve reached the desired length. Spray the churros with oil. Cook at 182Â°C for 12 to 14 minutes until the outside is firm and brown and the inside is soft. While the churros are cooking, combine the remaining 1/2 cup (100g) sugar with the cinnamon on a plate and whisk to combine. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 g) of butter and place in a small dish. Remove the cooked churros from the air fryer and immediately brush with melted butter and dredge in the cinnamon sugar. Repeat the process with the remaining churros. Serve hot with the chocolate sauce.

Matriarch debuts at Smith’s A new Canberra band, Matriarch, will make their debut at Smith’s Alternative this IWD. Matriarch is an all-girl grunge band with a twist – they are “four women on the wrong side of 50 who should know better than to be hanging out in bars and playing loud music”. But alas! Headed by Ana Key on vocals with Glenda Harvey on guitar, Lee Grunwald on bass and Leanne Thompson on drums, they play a unique blend of original grunge laments about living with regrets, ageing badly, motherhood, love and human angst. Their music combines solid bass, driving drums, screaming surf punk guitar, wailing vocals and complex lyrics. 8 March 7pm at Smith’s Alternative, Civic; smithsalternative.com

Shen Yun advertising moment

“Shen Yun is extraordinary – everyone should come see it.” – Celeste Holm, Academy Award-winning actress

“This is the highest and the best of what humans can produce.” – Olevia Brown-Klahn, singer and musician

“It’s a once in a lifetime experience, and you must not miss it … The world needs more excellence and Shen Yun can provide it for us.” – Coral Drouyn, Australian theatre critic

“There is a massive power in this that can embrace the world. It brings great hope … It is truly a touch of heaven.” – Daniel Herman, former Minister of Culture of the Czech Republic

Shen Yun: A global sensation from New York Experience a 5,000-year-old civilisation reborn New York-based Shen Yun returns to Canberra on 24-25 March as part of its global tour. Its all-new program of around 20 masterful dances and songs, bring Asia’s celebrated past to life on stage with the accompaniment of a live orchestra. The culture of ancient China was divinely inspired. Shen Yun’s works reflect this rich spiritual heritage. In ancient times, China was known as the ‘Land of the Divine’ and the world was full of magic and miracles. Everyone, from the emperors to the common people, believed that their culture was a divine gift. They lived in harmony with the universe and saw a connection among all things. Authentic Chinese culture carried these principles for thousands of years – until it was lost. Shen Yun now invites you to visit this lost civilisation. To make the

journey possible, Shen Yun had to push the boundaries of performing arts. Shen Yun combines ancient dance with technological innovations, and historically authentic costumes with breathtaking animated backdrops. Shen Yun lets classical Chinese dance do the storytelling, and provides a glimpse into the beautifully diverse worlds of ethnic and folk traditions. Filled with an enchanting orchestral sound, this is a stunning visual and emotional experience you won’t find anywhere else. The Shen Yun orchestra combines the spirit and distinctiveness of Chinese music with the precision and grandeur of a Western symphony orchestra. The result – one refreshing sound in perfect synchronisation with the power and beauty of classical Chinese dance – a tremendous energy, leaving

audiences uplifted and inspired. Shen Yun has become a global sensation – millions of people around the world have seen it. Standing ovations at the world’s top venues, royalty attending in Europe, sold-out shows throughout North America and packed houses across Oceania/ Asia have made Shen Yun a global phenomenon. Enter a wondrous realm of beauty, purity and grace. Taking inspiration from ancient heroic legends and modern courageous tales, the breathtaking beauty of Shen Yun is not to be missed. Join us this season to experience the wonder of authentic Chinese culture. Shen Yun will be performing at Canberra Theatre on 24-25 March for 2 shows only.

Edward Norton stars as private eye, Lionel Essrog, in Motherless Brooklyn (M).

Now showing Motherless Brooklyn (M) In the 1950s in New York City, private eye Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton) works a case for his boss and mentor Frank Minna (Bruce Willis). Frank is trying to garner more money from his latest ‘snooping’ job from his shady clients, but things go south quickly! Film noir hit its pinnacle in the 1940s and ‘50s, concentrating on hardboiled crime fiction that came from the Great Depression. The mood was low to match the visuals of low key black-andwhite and a noticeable lack of natural light. Film noir became so popular thanks to Humphrey Bogart’s immortal characters from The Maltese Falcon, The Big Sleep and Casablanca that it is difficult to make one without it coming off as a parody. Motherless Brooklyn’s Lionel,

then, is distinct not due to his hard-drinking, lovelorn habits typical of the genre, but due to his Tourette’s syndrome; an affliction which gives him the ability to notice many different pieces of a puzzle. It also causes those around him, both friend and foe, to be taken in by him, something that is beneficial for his role as investigator and to distinguish him from his genre trappings. Donning the fedora hat and coat of his mentor, Lionel heads into a socio-political conspiracy as big and shaggy-dogged as that of Chinatown in search of justice for his fallen friend. All the tropes are here with a rich atmosphere punctuated with Jazz used to reflect Lionel’s eclectic mind. Verdict: A rich experience celebrating the genre while commenting on contemporary American political approaches. 4.5 stars. - Luke McWilliams

way to highlight how ceramics impact and contribute to the food scene in the Canberra region. Potter Richilde Flavell of Girl Nomad Ceramics is one of six artists represented in The Chef and the Potter. Flavell provides ceramic tableware for five local eateries, and tells Canberra Weekly it’s always a privilege to be a part of the chef and restaurant owner’s vision of how the public will enjoy and experience their food. “The way we make the tableware is different from establishment to establishment, but often it’s a collaboration and a process of listening and responding to someone else’s vision. “The tableware should work in concert with food to elevate that experience, even if it only impacts the diner on a subconscious level.” Flavell says she loves the variety of work that producing tableware for eateries requires of her. “It’s a real mix, and I think

that’s really good for people who want to get into it. A lot of practice, design, creativity and alchemy as well. “It’s really about finding the balance where utility and beauty co-exist in harmony, that peak moment you’re looking for in the tableware.” The local connections between potters and various eateries is something Flavell values and appreciates. “These owners and chefs have a real sense of the local, not just where the produce comes from – staff are local, tableware is local and it’s really supportive of Canberra, which is great. “Restaurants and cafes are supporting local arts, and the community is, too. And it’s happening all around Australia and the world,” she says. The Chef and the Potter is on display at Watson Arts Centre, 5-29 March; canberrapotters.com.au - Denholm Samaras

After his suspension from the Metropolitan Police, Peter Grant, apprentice wizard and general troublemaker, takes a security job with a new London tech start-up company. There he discovers a magical conspiracy that stretches back to the dawn of computer technology, one that blends magic with artificial intelligence, and which has drawn several powerful mages into its orbit.

To achieve a tighter tummy, or even a six pack, you will need to have a good balance of exercises and consistency with your workouts. The primary purpose of your core is to provide mobility, stability, strength and balance to your mid-section, and, in turn, give you greater strength all over. Understanding where to start is a question you will need to answer: how strong is your core? How is the mobility through your back and hips? Have you let your core strength go, and do you need to build up from scratch? Lower back pain can come from a weak mid-section and if you have bad posture position when sitting at work or walking, this may add to the pain. To help to correct this, sit up straight or stand up tall and lift your rib cage with a full breath. Let your breath out slowly to the count of three to five seconds, and be aware of your shoulders – they should not be slumped forward when doing this breathing exercise. If you add some core exercises into your workout, your posture will thank you, and before you know it you will be stronger, more powerful and standing taller within weeks. Remember though, this will take some time so don’t rush the process – train safe and smart. Tip: Put a note on your computer reminding you to sit up straight and stand up every 15 minutes.

Workout Warm up for five minutes to get your body ready to go. Do each exercise for two minutes (or as long as you can), and repeat three times: • Plank: keep your elbows under your shoulders. To make it a little easier, plank with your knees on the ground. • Standing twists: stand with your feet shoulder width apart, knees bent slightly, and place a broomstick over your shoulders, hands on the stick. Rotate left to right, through your hips, in a fluid movement. • Hip circles: standing upright with a straight back, place your hands on your hips. With knees slightly bent, rotate your hips in a clockwise direction, pushing your buttocks out as you rotate. • Med ball squeeze: lying flat on your back, bring your feet up towards your buttocks, ensuring they are flat on the ground. Place a med ball between your knees and hold it there, squeezing with your knees, with your hands by your hips and your back and feet flat against the floor.

Textiles

Baskets

Textiles are the easiest little tweak in the book. They give a space so much personality, without having to make any drastic changes. I recommend starting with a rug. Although rugs are often on the expensive side, they’ll make the biggest improvement to your space, particularly if you’re dealing with some not-so-nice flooring or ugly carpet. A nice big jute rug is a great way to create a minimalist and modern feel – choose one that goes from wall to wall for a new-carpet look without the cost or hassle. Next, choose some smaller textiles like cushions, throws and curtains to top off your colour or decor scheme. Updated curtains can also completely transform a space.

Baskets are another decor item that adds texture to your space without too much colour or distraction. They’re great for storage, making them functional as well as pretty. Baskets are perfect in spaces like the kitchen and laundry that require lots of different ways to store (aka cover up) items like food supplies and clothing, and they also make great planters.

Lighting

Clever ideas for integrating storage into rental spaces include shelves that stand on the floor, while baskets add texture and are both functional and stylish. Photo: Geneva Vanderzeil

Rental revamp So you’re in a rental and want to make it feel like home? Here are some simple and stylish updates you can make without losing your bond. WITH HOME EDITOR, ALLISON TURNBULL

Reversible ways to update your rental space Images and text from Home Is Where You Make It by Geneva Vanderzeil, photography by Geneva Vanderzeil. Murdoch Books RRP $35.

In case you’re looking at your rented space and thinking, “I wish I could pull down that wall”, never fear – there are plenty of ways to update and personalise your space without getting structural. And even if you do live in your own home, these little tweaks are useful as a means of updating your space on a tight budget. 44

First of all, it’s very important that you check what your lease says and/or what your landlord’s policy is regarding what you are permitted to do in your space. Some will be more relaxed than others, but don’t be surprised if you are required to leave the property in its original condition when you move out.

You’re probably not going to want to get an electrician in to change the lighting in a rental, so you’re going to have to work with what you’ve got. However, there are plenty of options for personalising the lighting. Use oversized pendant lights and lampshades to add a feature to a room. If you’re dealing with poorly placed lights or bad bulbs, add some lamps to give the space a warm feel.

Shelves Shelves are the perfect way to create a space that feels uniquely yours, and there are lots of options for integrating shelves into rental spaces. Floating shelves are lovely, but you may not be allowed to mess with the walls. If you are allowed to add the odd nail to the wall (ask first!), hanging leather shelves have less impact on the wall than floating shelves, only requiring two small nails. Otherwise, use shelves that stand on the floor, like simple rectangular shelving or some shelves made from a ladder.

Plants Hanging plants, big feature potted plants and smaller plants all add interest to your home without risking your bond. They also do a great job of disguising ugly walls and floors.

Art Art is often the cherry on top when it comes to interior design, and even one or two inexpensive pieces can breathe life and uniqueness into a space. It can be a challenge to hang art in a rental space if you aren’t permitted to nail anything into the walls, but there are lots of options for displaying your art – place it on top of a cabinet or on a shelf, or lean larger pieces against a wall. There are also other options for hanging it – for lighter pieces, use 3M Command products that don’t leave a mark, or use Blu Tack to hang posters.

Mirrors I’ve often found that rental homes could do with having a wall taken out to really open up a space, but that’s not likely to happen. One way to open up rooms without the huge expense of demolition is to lean some big mirrors against the walls. They don’t need to be expensive. Look for large ones that really do feel as if you’ve inserted a door in the wall.

A few other ideas... If you’re looking to take the upgrades a little bit further, painting is a great way to make a big change without knocking out a wall. Simply ask your landlord what they think, and know that often you will have to revert the space to original condition when you leave. Wall decals can be used to create the same effect. Another idea is to swap the knobs and hardware in the kitchen and bathroom.

In the garden this week • Prune summer fruiting raspberries while they still have foliage, as it is easier to tell which canes are from last season and need removing (summer varieties fruit on two-year-old canes). Autumn flowering varieties, on the other hand, can have all canes pruned back to ground level once finished fruiting, as they fruit on current season canes. • Dig up, pot up and transplant self-seeded veggie seedlings such as brassicas, parsley, coriander and lettuce. The beauty of these seedlings is that they have germinated at the ideal time and will prosper with minimal help from us. • Dig up and divide hardy plants

that lend themselves well to division, such as clumping grasses and ground covers that form new roots as they spread. • Keep a close eye out for undesirable plants, aka weeds, as they appreciate the lovely rain we have received equally as much as plants we love. If pressed for time, remove seed heads until you are able to deal with the plants, as even a single plant left to seed can produce thousands of viable offspring. • Dry, preserve and devour your summer produce, you deserve it!

Hibiscus syriacus, or Rose of Sharon, is a hardy shrub to 4m with beautiful trumpet shaped flowers during summer.

In flower: Hibiscus syriacus Hibiscus syriacus, commonly known as Rose of Sharon, is a hardy deciduous shrub with a vase habit. It grows to around 4m and can be kept smaller with pruning. H. syriacus gets covered in trumpet shaped flowers with prominent stamens during summer. They are available in a range of whites, pinks and mauves, and with single or double flowers. Each flower lasts for only one day.

H. syriacus grows in full sun to partly-shaded positions with neutral to slightly alkaline soils. They show potential as a climate change plant due to their being long lived and tolerating drought, heat, humidity, air pollution, cold, and relatively unimproved soils. H. syriacus is useful for structural plantings, as a standalone specimen, and small or solar passive gardens.

Weekly market wrap Canberra’s auction results are a key insight into buyer confidence. Greater volumes of properties were taken to auction as February progressed, and the auction clearance rate remained strong. Principal and owner of Mortgage Choice Manuka, Matthew Hayes, experienced significant growth in borrower demand and the volume of loans his business has written during the first two months of this year. “Since January we’ve written $20 million in home loans compared to $7 million this time last year,” he said. A property purchase marks the final step in a process often starting weeks or months prior. Mortgage brokers are at the forefront of where future buyer demand is likely to come from, as would-be purchasers seek to understand their financial capacity prior to purchasing. According to Hayes, “the main thing we’re seeing is demand for first home buyer product. Every first home buyer we’re working with is buying prior to their preapproval lapsing. People looking to upsize are also active because they believe they can get a good price for their existing home”. The sense of urgency from borrowers described by Hayes is consistent with CoreLogic Home Property Value Index results for February. CoreLogic found both house and unit values increased during February in Canberra. House values increased by 0.84% and are 5.01% higher than this time last year. Unit values have increased for five consecutive months, increasing by 0.48% in February to be 0.89% higher than this time last year. These results demonstrate strong borrower demand is driving the increase in property values. The historically low interest rates and

lending policy changes during 2019 are helping borrowers be in a far superior position to the same time last year. “Current interest rates and credit policy changes mean buyers can borrow up to $100,000 more than they could 12 months ago,” Hayes said. Interest rate cuts allow borrowers to take on a higher loan value without increasing repayments. Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show residents of the ACT have the highest average weekly earnings nationally. This maintains housing affordability and allows people purchasing property to secure their ideal home. “Borrowers are using current conditions to get what they need, and they’re willing to pay that bit extra to get what they want,” said Hayes. CoreLogic’s head of research, Tim Lawless, explained the recent run of transactions in Canberra exceeding $3 million: “structural factors may also be at play, including a rise in borrowing capacity following changes to serviceability assessment from APRA in July 2019, and the dominance of owner occupier buyers (rather than investors) through the recovery phase to date”. “With lenders favouring ‘high quality’ borrowers, buyers with a large deposit and low level of debt relative to their incomes are likely to be those who receive the lowest mortgage rates – another factor that could be supporting demand at the more expensive end of the market.”

First Ginninderry residents move in The first residents of Ginninderry have moved into their new home. First home buyers Lauren Welfare and Matt Lewer moved into their flexi-living home in Ginninderry’s first suburb of Strathnairn. Matt said the young couple initially thought they would “have to settle for an apartment”. “But as dog lovers that wasn’t going to work,” he said. “Ideally we were looking for three bedrooms, good living spaces for entertaining and an outdoor area but that can be hard to find on a budget.” Around 50 people are expected to move into Strathnairn in the coming months. Ginninderry will eventually be home to around 30,000 residents across four suburbs, three in the ACT and one just over the border in NSW.

WorkSafe completes latest blitz WorkSafe ACT has completed a second inspection blitz of residential construction sites, with 128 notices issued across the Territory. ACT Work Safety Commissioner Greg Jones said 54 Prohibition Notices were issued, as well as “several” Infringement Notices. “We are still seeing concerning issues with working from heights; unsafe scaffolding; electrical issues; no safety planning through Safe Work Method Statements and potential slips, trips and falls,” he said. Since the beginning of the year, more than 112 inspections have been carried out, with nearly 200 notices issued and over 70 sites shut down due to “imminent safety risks to workers”. The ramped up inspections come after the deaths of two workers on two separate construction sites in Denman Prospect in January and February.

An enviable location Forrest 2/20 Dominion Circuit Sitting pretty within a complex of just five townhomes, this character-filled home in enviable Forrest is truly a rare find. Director and licensed agent at Christine Shaw Properties, Christine Shaw, says this home has a few rather unique features. “This might be called a ‘regular’ body corporate, which means anyone can purchase the residence for sale. However, the lease schedule shows you need to be over 60 to live there,” she says. “The other unique feature is that in 2008, the front yard space was allocated to each of the five residences as its own private courtyard and each individual owner has the responsibility to

maintain and have the private advantage of the space.” Shaw says there are “so many demographics” that could take advantage of all this home has to offer, including those looking to purchase something for a parent or grandparent to live in, as well as short- and long-term investors. “Of course,” Shaw says, “the last demographic will be those already over 60 who see how special this townhouse is”. And special it is, with two courtyards and within walking distance to popular Manuka. “The location is gold – so very close to Manuka Shopping Precinct and the Parliamentary Triangle – and the new owner

will love visiting Manuka cinema, the pool and the AFL games. The views are fantastic, and the opportunity to have two courtyards is rare.” Other features include expansive windows which allow the light to flood in, downstairs powder room, automated garage, gas heater and a silent inclinator for easy access to the second floor. “The master bedroom has its own balcony,” Shaw says, “plus the energy rating of EER 4.0 is fantastic for this double-brick residence.

We get Canberra.

“The silent inclinator is so very slimline that it doesn’t restrict access upstairs at all. It is there for whenever it is needed.”

Silence

Friday, SBS, 10.30pm, MA15+ (2016)

Martin Scorsese’s passion project, about two 17th-century priests who travel to Japan in search of their troubled mentor, is a brutal, sprawling epic about the importance of religion. The story of the mission of Father Rodrigues (Andrew Garfield) and Father Garupe (Adam Driver) to rescue the fallen Father Ferreira (Liam Neeson, pictured) is an engrossing one whatever your beliefs.

Friday

pick of the week Mad Max: Fury Road

Misery Friday, 9GEM, 11pm, M (1990)

A fascinating whiteknuckle thriller from director Rob Reiner starring Oscar-winner Kathy Bates (pictured) as Annie Wilkes, who kidnaps her favourite author, Paul Sheldon (James Caan), drugs and binds him, then subjects him to various tortures (you’ll never look at a sledgehammer the same way). Darkly funny and gruesome, this is a macabre and original vision of obsession.

March 6

Wednesday, 9GO!, 9pm, MA15+ (2015)

The first thing you’ll notice about this postapocalyptic tale, the fourth in the franchise and 30 years after the last instalment, is the lack of Mel Gibson’s name. But don’t worry – the original director, visionary Aussie George Miller, is back on board. Fury Road brings us a whole new generation of gun-totting, car-smashing rebels hell-bent on revenge. Tom Hardy is the eponymous Max while Charlize Theron (pictured) is his rebel in arms, Furiosa. Big, brash and bold, it’s an exhilarating and surreal trip. Max is certainly back with gusto.

celebrity birthday EVA MENDES 5 March 1974 Eva needs to learn to be proud of just how much she has achieved instead of thinking that she could have done bigger and better. Certainly, 2020 brings more positive things into her life, which outweigh the bad. The year ahead will see her being offered a job/role that only she can do and this will certainly add another string to her bow!

in the stars ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

The Full Moon on 9 March indicates a turbulent patch at work is going to require some quick thinking. Romance will be a heady, exhilarating feature of March. If you’re in an established relationship, there will be an extra zest to the passion and romance in your union.

A superior or colleague in a senior position could make a gesture of kindness and support that is quite startling and generous to you. However, the Full Moon on 9 March indicates you need to step lightly with prickly associates who may put extra pressure on you with their demands.

Major financial business could arise this month. A project or deal involving a large sum of money could go ahead. The Full Moon on 9 March brings intense emotional moods to deal with and unexpected domestic incidents. A feeling of exhaustion may prevail so allow time for extra rest.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

Socially this will be a fun busy month and a delightful, spontaneous get-together with romantic vibes could take form out of the blue. The Full Moon on 9 March could see a lowering of your confidence and self-esteem, especially if you make some mistakes when handling something unusual.

Friends, family and your partner are all going to be clamouring for your attention to take you to special places to do fun things. The Full Moon on 9 March indicates that a sudden event or issue with younger family members is going to be somewhat emotionally draining.

March should be a progressive and rewarding month on the job, with attractive opportunities that will advance your interests. The Full Moon on 9 March indicates you may be tempted to splurge on expensive goods and will need to be careful of maxing out your credit card.

You’ll pour a great deal of energy into providing generous support to your partner, family members, friends and colleagues, who come to you for counsel. The Full Moon on 9 March warns you to be careful of how you handle certain friendships and to be sensitive to others’ needs.

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR

A personal commitment could wind down, even fade altogether and you could feel relieved. It will take the pressure off and relieve any anxiety you have had. The Full Moon on 9 March brings additional family commitments which keep you very busy and create sensitive emotional moods.

Venus is throwing a happy glow over all your relationships and team efforts throughout much of March. However, the Full Moon on 9 March falls directly in your own sign indicating that turbulence is likely in your closest relationships, but try not to allow your anxiety to control you.

March may be quite a demanding month so be prepared for a significant crescendo of commitments and pressures. To keep on top, streamline your program and organise your priorities. The Full Moon on 9 March warns you to be careful of stepping on the toes of work colleagues and bosses.

Happy Birthday Pisces! Saturn is ushering in a need for you to take better care of your health. You might find yourself drawn to nature for healing. The Full Moon on 9 March indicates issues are likely in your closest relationships, so be careful of having foot in mouth disease.

A walk down memory lane is likely in March as you reconnect with people from the past. The Full Moon on 9 March indicates that a power struggle with someone close is likely and there may be some complex considerations with an important financial decision.

My favourite things

BROMPTON BIKE

I have been riding bikes most days of my life. I love them, and spent a lot of my youth touring on them. This is my Brompton folding bike I travel with to other cities so I can get around. It’s a superb design.

MACQUARIE THESAURUS I like to write every day, and get really cut if I don’t get the opportunity. The Macquarie Thesaurus has been the trustiest and best writing companion I’ve ever had. I’d carry it around with me, but I’m not that much of a dork.

MANDOLIN I use this sometimes in my shows since I started playing it. I’m no good, but I like it. It lives on a hook at my place, so I can pick it up and pluck away until my name gets yelled.

Luke Heggie Comedian

Luke Heggie is a comedian from Queensland who lives in Sydney. He tours a lot, and has written and performed a new one-hour show every year since 2012 for the Australian comedy festivals. When not on the road, he spends his time in Sydney fixing stuff his kids break, and going to the beach. He’s out nearly every night performing. He has long been a campaigner for stand-up comedy to have absolutely no barriers to entry, allowing any lunatic to begin being a comedian, becoming a menace to themselves and a danger to others. His new show Lowbreed will be part of the Canberra Comedy Festival this month. 122

PRADEL POCKET KNIFE This is a French classic, and has cut a lot of stuff since my father-in-law gave it to me not long after we met. I carry it with me a lot, and one day I’ll be like those wrinklies you see cutting slices of salami to munch on in between playing boules and saying inappropriate stuff.

THE BEACH Every weekend and a lot of weekdays we are at the beach. Now my kids are old enough to not try to drown themselves every five seconds, it’s pretty enjoyable too. This is a drawing of them by illustrator Emilie ProtierePicquier [Luke’s wife]. Her simple and elegant illustrations are another thing I love.
