Commitment to safety Hamilton Chamber of Commerce says the recently announced funding under the NSW Government’s Community Safety Fund will help further support its commitment to deliver a vibrant, but above all, safe business and entertainment precinct. Hamilton is one of seven new nighttime “safe spaces” to be developed by the Newcastle Now Business Improvement Association, in partnership with Hamilton Chamber of Commerce, Hunter Development Corporation and Newcastle City Council. Chamber President Nathan Errington says that this was an important project for Hamilton adding great value to the cosmopolitan suburb.
Hamilton Chamber Directors Andy Rossi, Stephen Hunt with NSW Attorney General, The Hon. Mark Speakman SC MP and Hamilton Chamber President Nathan Errington at the funding announcement “In addition to the $25,000 funding grant, the Chamber will contribute $5,000 towards new lighting, landscaping, seating and
signage to improve the appearance of Hamilton Station Park. “This is a great outcome for Hamilton, which (cont’d page 2)

Local legends rockin’ your Christmas in July Pam and Les grew up in the vibrant late 60’s / 70’s proto rock scene of Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Music has taken Pam and Les around town, around the state, around the country and even the world. They were both in 70’s/80’s rock bands that did the Newcastle and Sydney circuits and travelled the east coast and nationally. Les was in Armageddon, Troupadores and Ward 10 and Pam was with Stash. Later they were together in Pandemonium and The Orphans. Pam also toured Australia as backing vocalist with ‘Swanee’. With CV’s that long it’s no wonder they both feature in the recent book release Rock This City – Live Music in Newcastle 70’s & 80’s by Gaye Sheather. The diverse audiences and venues they’ve played for have developed in Pam and Les a style that finds
the common ground in almost any audience. Their repertoire is in a word, vast. Pam and Les have spent the last 30 years playing their favourites to diverse audiences. Performing with good friend, John Bond, the trio keep audiences entertained
with their vast range of songs and ensure that toes are tapping and feet are dancing throughout the show. You can catch Pam, Les and John at The Gallipoli Legion Club’s Christmas in July Celebrations, Saturday 29 July from 2-5pm.

Community centre repairs
Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald MLC recently inspected the completed roof repair and structural works at the Hamilton Community Centre. The repairs were made possible with a $32,000 grant from the NSW Government in April 2016. Mr MacDonald said it was great to see the roof and other repairs completed so the Centre can continue their great community service.
“The Greek Orthodox Parish in Newcastle do important work for the community, assisting migrants, the aged, youth and young mothers. “Newcastle and the Hunter have always done the heavy lifting welcoming new Australians into their community and stepping up when vulnerable people need a helping hand. This is a great example of the State Government supporting community based
organisations to do good work in our society. “I commend Father Scordilis and President of the Greek Orthodox Parish and Community of Newcastle, Mr Paul Milonas and his Committee for their vision and ongoing campaign to help the needy in the Greek and Hamilton community.” Mr MacDonald added.

Humans of Hamilton Kim Di Berardino We meet in Apothecary Kitchen which has been Kim’s go to cafe since its arrival on Beaumont Street 13 years ago as Three Bean Espresso. Kim is Hamilton through and through. She has always lived here except for the short stints living in London and Melbourne in her 20’s. Her working life has revolved around working as a make up artist and working in fashion retail. Her parents live in the same house she came home to as a newborn, 52 years ago. “This place is my stomping ground” she declares. Kim was born to Australian/Italian parents during the 1960s. Her family is part of the generation that gave this suburb its rich multicultural history. As a child, Kim remembers the four independently owned Delis that were scattered along Beaumont Street. The rich aromas of ground coffee mixed with the smokey smell of the hanging cured sausages. Her first full-time job was at Soul Pattinson Chemist (now Terry White Chemist) and one of her lunchtime treats was to visit one of these Delis for a fresh cured meat and cheese sandwich. Kim’s face lights up as she tells me this story. Other lunchtimes were sit-down meals with her Papa at Gelateria Arena (now Uber Thai). They would order rigatoni and veal schnitzel for two.
A regular feature by Ahn Wells
Kim Di Berardino Silvia Saccro, the cook became famous for her “melt in the mouth” veal schnitzel. Kim worked at Soul Pattinson Chemist from ages 15 to 19 and lunch became a regular tradition between her and her Papa during those years. Kim’s Papa, George to you and I, arrived in Australia at the beautiful young age of 20 in 1952 from a small village in the Abruzzi region of Italy. He arrived in Melbourne and made his way up the coast of Australia until he found suitable work at the BHP. Not long arriving in Newcastle, he met Kim’s mum, Robin. They married and had two children, first Lee and then Kim. Now, Kim has two children of her own. Her eldest, Olivia born in 1993 and her son, Tom born in 2001.
Hamilton has changed so much since Kim was a little girl. The empty shops are a disappointing sign but Kim is hopeful. She went to the opening of the Renew Newcastle, Hamilton Clock Tower Studios in June and welcomes the additions of galleries and the small businesses that have popped up in the last few years. I ask Kim what her favourite Hamilton business is and she immediately answers “The Retro Wardrobe but also Hunter Animal Watch Op Shop because the ladies love BJ, my Maltese x Poodle and he loves his daily liver treat” she smiles.

The Good Earth - Pearl Buck
Reviewed by Joan Webster Pearl Buck won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938 and this is one of her most famous books. It is set in China in the 19th century and gives many insights into what life was like for the Chinese peasants at that time. It follows the life of a peasant Wang Lung and his family from his marriage to his death and the various hardships and good fortunes connected with his land. The Good Earth is the central theme of the book. At times this earth provides Wan Lung with wealth, silver to buy more land and to spend on his family and at other times with famine and locust plagues. All the characters which are so well drawn are dependent on the land- the elderly father, the greedy uncle, the lecherous cousin, his loyal wife who works beside him even when she is ready to give birth, his sons and daughters, one of whom is disabled because of malnutrition. She sits in the Sun playing with a piece of cloth and Wang Lung pities her referring to her as his “poor fool”. Interestingly Pearl Buck had a child who had phenylketonuria and she was always silent about her daughter. She wrote “It is not shame ..but something sacred and private as sorrow must be.” The book shows a China far removed from the prosperous country China is today. Pearl Buck shows us the differences between this society and our own. Women were “slaves”. The family and community were so important that the greedy Uncle and despicable cousin must be satisfied so that Wang Lung will not be shamed. It shows the immense hardship and dependence on the land and the impending wars and struggles to come. She also shows the universals- affection, greed, pity, corruption and suffering that all humans experience whatever their culture. She always writes with great compassion but without sentimentality. It is a beautiful written book that made me want to read more of her many books -------------------------------------------------------------What are your thoughts on The Good Earth?

Hidden Hamilton Donald’s Corner
Imagine being so well known in a community that a group of buildings on a whole block was known simply by your family name? That was Donald’s Corner – a large corner block between Beaumont and Murray streets in Hamilton – until the 1989 Newcastle earthquake. Who was the successful businessman behind the name? None other than George Donald (18311889) who had arrived here in 1859 as a 28-year-old Scottish immigrant to work in the mines. His first business on this site was a grocery store established in 1865, followed by an ironmonger (hardware store) and chemist. Over time, the building on the landmark corner site was remodelled and extended, and other retailers leased space. George Donald became Hamilton’s first Mayor. It was his drive and determination that made the Incorporation of Hamilton as a municipal council a reality. This meant Hamilton could levy rates, using
By Ruth Cotton
the collected funds to improve the environment and circumstances in which people lived. We know he must have been an important civic leader, because there is a thoroughfare named for him, Donald Street, and a substantial fountain in his honour in Gregson Park. He was a prime mover in having the Scots Kirk built. It appears that after George Donald died, members of the Donald family continued to run the businesses he established. Following the earthquake the buildings were demolished. Donald’s Chemist moved to the opposite corner, into the former Niagara Café, a Hamilton icon from the 1950s to the 1980s. Gloria Jeans is there now. For a time, pharmacy owner Bob Donald kept a cafe booth as a tribute to the building’s heritage. The booth was eventually moved because of demands on the space, but the step remained until it was built over.
Boulevard on Beaumont stands at Donald’s corner today Across Tudor Street, the block that was once Donald’s Corner remained vacant for some years until the construction of the Boulevard on Beaumont Hotel, which opened in 2000. Once again, an imposing presence commands the corner. This is an edited extract from my book Hidden Hamilton: Uncovering stories of Hamilton, NSW.

It is said that moving homes is one of the most stressful times in your life. The last thing you need is additional stress when buying or selling property because of legal complications from poor contract drafting, unsatisfactory advice or a failure to undertake and properly review appropriate searches. So it’s important that you engage an experienced and competent lawyer who is not only trained in conveyancing but also licenced to provide you with legal advice. You want someone who can set your mind at ease and take care of the legalities so you can focus on planning your move and the countless other things that need to be attended to. Many properties have easements or covenants on them. You need to know how these might affect your intended use when you are purchasing. Different lawyers use different terms in their contracts. It’s important that your lawyer reads them and is able to explain to you in plain terms their meaning and possible adverse consequences. Where necessary a good lawyer will negotiate for unfair terms to be removed from a contract. While it’s true that parts of the conveyancing process are administrative in nature, disputes between a vendor and purchaser are not uncommon. When a dispute arises you want to be represented by a competent lawyer. Top 4 things to consider before purchasing: •Availability of finance. Have conditional loan approval in place before you begin property hunting. Never sign a contract without unconditional loan approval. •Consider whether you should obtain a survey report or building certificate. •If you plan to renovate or rebuild check what approvals are required and do costings. •Factor in additional costs such as stamp duty and other adjustments.
SPINE
Matters by David Diehm
of Family Life Chiropractic
Snap, crackle and pop
My neck cracks when I turn my head, is that normal? Many people would be familiar with this experience, a cracking or grinding noise in their neck upon movement. These uncomfortable sounds, also called crepitus refer to the grating, cracking or popping sensation you hear coming from your spine. A common example is reversing your car out of the
drive way, as you turn your neck to check your blind spot you hear a crack or pop sensation. Crepitus may occur in any moveable joint in the body and may also be accompanied by stiffness or tightness in the area. Some people also find temporary relief in forcing a pop sound from their joints. So what are the possible causes? * Dysfunctional / degenerative joints. If the cartilage has worn down in the joints, smooth surfaces may no longer exist and bone on bone surfaces create a grinding noise. * Fluid changes in the joint. Synovial fluid between a joint provides lubrication for movement, when the pressure changes in the fluid it creates a gaseous bubble. The creation of these bubbles makes a cracking or popping sound. * Ligament or tendon movement. When soft tissues move over a bone they can make a snapping sound that can be heard when your joints are moved. If the crepitus is constant, or accompanied with pain it could indicate a joint function problem and you should consider seeking professional advice.

MONEY
Matters by Margaret Glenn CPA of Pritchard Partners
Pay yourself first
Happy New Financial Year. Like new calendar years, fiscal years also provide a time for many to think about money. The art of saving can be described as three ‘musts’. The first must is to regularly put away a minimum amount of your money for your savings. The second, is to start as early as possible, and the third is to choose an appropriate investment program. Our ‘hierarchy of spending’ usually begins with bills and fixed commitments – gas, electricity, mortgage or rent payments, followed by living expenses such as food and clothing, then entertainment and other personal expenditure. If there’s anything left, we might set aside some for short-term savings and, is there’s still something left it might be put away for a ‘rainy day’. There’s no guarantee we’ll actually have anything left for savings – and it’s unlikely to be a regular amount each month. It’s easier to spend our income on everyday ‘necessities’ and defer longer term savings until next month … or the next month …or the month after that! There is, however, another approach to the problem: pay yourself the first 10% of your income. Instead of leaving long-term savings at the end of the list, bring it to the top and ‘pay yourself’ 10% of your living income before you pay bills and living expenses. Split your 10% in two. First, put half into a longterm investment or savings program. The other half should be put towards a short-term reward program – for a holiday, new car or perhaps that new television you’ve promised yourself. If you haven’t spent all your ‘reward savings’ at the end of the year, use the surplus to boost your long-term investment. If it feels like you’ve had a $10 salary cut, console yourself with the growing balance in your long-term account – and look forward to your next reward! Whatever your savings goals, a structured, disciplined approach is the only sure way to achieve your targets. Margaret Glenn is a Partner of Rees Pritchard.
PHARMACY
Matters by Anthony Piggott

Travel health
As the number of Australians travelling overseas increases, so does the number of travellers who become ill – sometimes fatally. There are many things you can do to ensure you are a healthy traveller, and your local pharmacy can assist with these preparations. First of all, visit your general practitioner for a thorough check-up to ensure there are no underlying health issues, which may affect your travels. Then ask your local pharmacist or look for a pharmacy offering travel advice services or travel clinics. They
can advise on issues such as vaccinations, travelling with medicines, and treating common travel illnesses. It can be difficult to buy medicines and first aid supplies in countries where you do not speak or read the language. Your pharmacist can provide recommendations for over-the-counter medicines and first aid supplies which are useful to take with you. Your local pharmacy can supply you with other useful items such as: • Rehydration fluid and anti-diarrhoea medicine • Anti-nausea medicine • Sunscreen and insect repellent • Items for the plane including ear plugs, eye drops for dry eye, compression garments • Basic pain relief • Allergy medicine • Wound care products • Foot care products. You can get more detailed information on travel health from the Self Care Fact Card titled Travel health available from pharmacies providing the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia’s Self Care health information, or Ask Piggotts!

An art collection
I started buying fellow students artwork in my first year of art school. I never intended to become a collector, nor did I buy with the thought that the artworks would one day increase in value. I was buying artwork that I admired, that I wish I could do myself and that I could afford at the time. I’ve continued to collect this way ever since and this is how I would encourage anyone interested in starting their own collection. If on the other hand, you are interested in collecting for investment, then that is for another time. Start by visiting galleries regularly to get a feel for what kind of artwork you like best, there’s no right or wrong answer and you never have to justify why you like an artwork over another. This is the best part about collecting. Pick up the paper catalogue and take notice of the artist’s name and the medium the artwork is made from, don’t worry about costs at the moment, you’ll start to notice some kind of pattern forming. It might be you keep liking the same artists or you like artworks made by printmaking or on the same subject matter. Once you work out what you like, set yourself a price range that you can afford and purchase when the time is right. You’ll know when. I have a few friends that have become avid art collectors. One has a yearly budget she sets to spend on art. Sometimes her budget will be spent on buying one or two major artworks, other years she’ll buy several smaller artworks. Another friend sets aside money for things like art purchases, holidays, date nights. Everyone finds their own way, that’s the fun part. If this has sparked your interest, then I encourage you to visit a gallery today and start the journey to owning your own art collection.
