Hamilton’s Golden Guitar winner A tune about a cattle station 3000 kilometres away has earned a Hamilton local a Golden Guitar award.

Neville Anderson picked up the gong as the writer of Henbury Blues, which was announced as Bush Ballad of the Year at the January ceremony in Tamworth.

Performed by Dean Perrett, the song speaks about Neville’s longing to be at the Northern Territory cattle station in which is he is part-owner, named Henbury.

“I was sitting here in Newcastle quite regularly wishing I was up at Henbury, so that was the inspiration for the song,” Neville said.

“It’s almost a personal song that I didn’t expect to do anything with.”

That changed when Dean called up looking for a song and Neville obliged. Less than six months later they were Golden Guitar winners.

Neville Anderson holds his Tamworth “It has a personal touch but also a common man feel Country Music Festival Golden Guitar to it,” he explained.

“So anyone who’s listening to it can connect to the Neville has received the industry’s pinnacle award, having previously gotten as far as the top 10 in the song as well.” same category in 2000.

Fire Station development update

The issue of amenity took centre stage at Newcastle City Council’s Public Voice meeting at the end of February as the case for and against the Hamilton Fire Station redevelopment was put before councillors.

The development proposes a partial demolition and adaptive fitout of the Belford Street-fronting former fire station, with the construction of five, three-storey townhouses behind, to front Dixon Street.

Strong criticism has already been drawn for the plans, with 93 objections received to the latest incarnation of the development application regarding the amenity of the design and heritage impacts, and its sympathy to the area.

In their presentation to councillors,

Amanda Hinds and Paul Shearston also spoke of their traffic and parking concerns, saying that the site’s proximity to Hamilton Public School already resulted in high congestion around pick-up and drop-off times which required the school principal to direct traffic.

Developers and objectors had an opportunity to present their case to Councillors in February

Wade Morris, representing SNL Building Constructions, and Warren Hassnoot, from architecture firm Curious Practice, spoke for the development.

Mr Morris pointed out that there was a high-density planning priority for the Belford Street corridor through Broadmeadow and Hamilton North, and that he believed a balance had been achieved between heritage considerations and the planning outcomes.

Mr Haasnoot said that a possible expansion of the light rail along Belford Street would have positive impact on traffic in the future.

A further report will come back to councillors before a decision is made.

Aged care cottage gets a lift Local community aged care provider NovaCare believes the $315,000 renovation to their Ailsa Craig Cottage means Hunter families now have access to highend, state-of-the art respite care for their loved ones.

The Ailsa Craig Cottage offers families from the Hunter region day, overnight, emergency, and planned respite care.

“Respite care is essential, not just for the guests, but for caregivers. It provides caregivers an opportunity to rest and recharge while continuing to care for their loved ones,” Joseph McCarthy, CEO NovaCare said.

“It was important to us that the end result of this renovation was amazing, beautifully welcoming, as well as functional. We want guests to feel engaged when they come and spend time in this tranquil, home environment,” Joseph said.

Kym has been using the services of NovaCare for several years to assist in the care for her mother, “Mum loves spending time at the Cottage, she enjoys the home made meals, social activities and the staff are wonderful – she often comes home with her nails freshly done. It’s a real joy.

“For me, knowing mum is happy at the Cottage means I can continue to work and enjoy our

NovaCare’s Ailsa Craig Cottage in Lindsay Street Hamilton has recently been revitalised time together. The Cottage and the support of NovaCare has been the difference between my beautiful mother being in an aged-care facility or living at home with me.

They make it all possible,” Kym said.

With the generous support of $80,000 funding provided by the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation, the Cottage has increased from three to four bedrooms and from two to three bathrooms.

“This renovation has meant that we’ve been able to create a respite cottage that is contemporary with all the comforts of home,” Joseph said.

It will also result in NovaCare

increasing its availability of respite services to the community by 30%, the equivalent of an additional 2,100 hours of overnight carer support.

“The Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation assists community initiatives and projects that directly address disadvantage, marginalisation or isolation in health, youth development, and social wellbeing for our communities,” Charitable Foundation Chairman, Phil Neat said.

“The Ailsa Craig Cottage project is a stunning example of how our grants can make a significant difference to the lives of those in our community.”

CHAMBER

Chat

by Nathan Errington President of Hamilton Chamber of Commerce

Bus system must fit the needs of the community it serves

Last month Hamilton Chamber of Commerce asked the operator of Newcastle Buses, Keolis Downer, to develop a bus system that fits the needs of the community.

As business people we understand that bus systems must also be operationally viable. We know that the previous bus system was not feasible or appropriate, but we also know from the amount of feedback and public comment that the new system is no better.

As part of the new system, there is no longer a bus that travels directly along Hamilton’s Beaumont Street.

According to feedback collected there has been a downturn of between 10 and 15% in trade and local banks are reporting significant downturn in customer numbers.

We are at a very important time in our region and if we are to create a city that meets the needs of our community into the future we must start to get smarter about the way we are planning critical infrastructure.

The issue is that a new system has been put in place with limited community input and before other pieces of critical infrastructure are complete, or the culture of transport in the region has been shifted.

In other news, the Chamber is busily preparing for the Beaumont Street Carnivale to be held on Sunday 11th March. You will read much more about the event in this issue of Hamilton Local.

Look forward to seeing you around Hamilton soon.

Pink Frangipani Ball returns The tenacity and spirit of a breast cancer fighter will be celebrated next month at the 7th Pink Frangipani Ball.

The fundraising ball honours Sandra Rufo, the late wife of Newcastle councillor Andrea Rufo, who passed away from breast cancer in 2005.

Sandra was diagnosed in 1994, at just 29-years-old.

“Sandra beat the odds time and time again, demonstrating that the human spirit is an incredibly powerful force – and that she was one very special human being,” Andrea said.

“During her courageous ten year battle with this debilitating illness Sandra would set herself goals.

One of these was to celebrate her 40th Birthday, in style, by holding a masquerade party.

“Sadly, Sandra fell victim to breast cancer six months shy of her 40th birthday.”

Since its inception in 2006 approximately $470,000 has been raised, which has been distributed to groups including the Hunter Medical Research Institute, Cure Cancer Australia and the Hunter Breast Cancer Education and Support Committee.

The late Sandra Rufo, whose battle with breast cancer is honoured at the Pink Frangipani Ball

The black tie, masquerade ball will be held at Wests City on Saturday, April 21. Tickets are $175 per person and include a three course meal, wine and beer, a live band and entertainment.

Nostromo

by Jospeh Conrad

Reviewed by Matthew Blyth

Nostromo tells the tale of Costaguana, a fictional South American nation beset by revolution and tyranny.

Using its vast cast of characters, Conrad explores the corrupting quality of power, be it political, economic or social.

The story follows the fate of its two protagonists, the eponymous Nostromo and Charles Gould, from rebuilding Gould’s family mine, through the economic boom this causes, and finally into the maelstrom of war and upheaval that is the struggle of control of the mine.

Nostromo is a novel of many aspects; it could be read – and greatly enjoyed – as a political novel, an adventure story, or simply as an experiment in non-linear story-telling. However, for me, by far the greatest quality of Nostromo are its characters, with every member of its ensemble cast being distinctly human, with their own unique motivations, personal philosophies and ways of life.

It has been six months since I read Nostromo, yet still my thoughts return to the people of Costaguana, I recall the saint-like Emilia Gould, the wry and Pessimistic Dr Monygham, the ageing Giorgio Viola and the honorable Nostromo himself.

Though Nostromo is not an easy novel, as the prose is frequently dense and the story complex, it is an incredibly rewarding one. It is a work of great scope and understanding, and its stands alone at the peak of Joseph Conrad’s already brilliant oeuvre as a testament to his genius as a writer.

Humans of Hamilton

by Melissah Comber

Kerrie Beer, founder and operator of the Hamilton Clocktower Markets

Kerrie Beer Kerrie Beer likes to see the best in every situation.

That’s how she spotted an underutilised space on Beaumont Street, containing little more than some paving, a couple of trees and a few benches, and turned it into an area where Newcastle’s creators could sell their wares and thrive under the banner of the Hamilton Clocktower Markets.

What began as a monthly market now operates fortnightly, with everything from baby clothes, leather goods and Kerrie’s own plants available to those who visit.

Page 18 > Hamilton Local > March 2018

None of this happened by accident though. Kerrie’s degree in Recreation and Tourism, background in volunteering and her can-do attitude helped.

“I used to do a lot of work for the local business chamber years ago, and I wanted somewhere to set up a market to sell my plants,” she said.

Kerrie saw potential in the almost-empty space next to the Clocktower Café and presented her idea to the chamber and Newcastle City Council. The markets have just last month ticked over into their 10th year.

Kerrie said she loves the community involvement in the markets, not only bringing sellers into the space but buskers and charities, such as Red Nose and White Ribbon.

“We love to have the community involved and we offer a free community space here,” she said.

“We fill a space with positive vibes - we’re like a little family here.”

A testament to the markets’ success is not only its longevity but that fact that there are stallholders who have been involved since the very beginning, which can only be attributed to Kerrie’s attitude of positivity.

“One aspect to my personality is that I’ll always try to find the good in something,” she said.

“When the sun is shining, the music is playing and the place is full of stalls I couldn’t be happier my heart sings.”

HAMILTON’S

History with Phil Warren Fettercairn, the stately Victorian home in Lindsay Street Hamilton, was completed in 1903 as a family home by the founder of Gow’s Drapery, Mrs. Fanny Gow and her husband Ramsay. Unlike the drapery Fettercairn reached its century, although it very nearly didn’t.

Ramsay and Fanny Gow’s time together as residents of the two-storey home was just four years, Ramsay dying in 1907 and Fanny in 1923. The house was auctioned in July 1924.

Fettercairn then became a private hospital and its role as a maternity facility is well recorded in many birth announcements in The Newcastle Herald. A few months after the auction, in October, the newspaper recorded the first births, being two girls.

Fettercairn’s role as a private hospital continued for about 30 years. The house then transitioned into residential accommodation for young people who were post-secondary students in Newcastle.

Turn the clock forward to 1978 when well known Newcastle surgeon Dr James Holley acquired the property to restore and use as a family home.

In December 1989 an earthquake changed everything.

The sandy underlying soil had caused damage to many buildings in Hamilton and Fettercairn’s insurer was saying “demolish”. Dr Holley did not want this outcome.

The next owner was Newcastle printmaker and photographer, Phil Gordon, who restored the damaged house and used it as a gallery for a number of years.

In 2000 it was sold, and as is said, Fettercairn has survived and went full circle to become a private residence once again.

Matters

by Margaret Glenn CPA of Pritchard Partners

Taking control of your Super

The number of Self Managed Super Funds (SMSF) is growing at a rapid pace. During the past decade, more than a million Australians have transferred their Super from industry and retail Funds to SMSFs. It’s all about having control over your financial future by: • Choosing investment options including cash,

managed funds, shares, rental properties, commercial properties and other assets.

• Having one family fund to include up to four members.

• Receiving potential tax savings. Business real estate and listed personal shares can be transferred from members to the SMSF with favourable tax treatment of their returns.

• Creating flexibility in Estate Planning.

• Potentially lowering costs depending on your investment decisions.

• Accessing additional funds for investment by borrowing using a limited recourse loan.

• Establishing life insurance through the SMSF which for some insurance types premiums can be tax deductible.

Most importantly, the very best advice will come from using the professional services of a trusted accountant and financial adviser who can help you take control of your financial future.

Margaret Glenn is a Certified Practicing Accountant and director of Rees Pritchard Pty Limited.

AGE Matters with Joseph McCarthy CEO of NovaCare Community Services

Keeping your independence

It doesn’t matter if you’re 70, 80, 90 or 100, chances are, you want to keep living at home, even if some things start getting a bit difficult. Did you know there are organisations that can take care of some tasks at home, so you can focus on doing the things you want, and can do?

Types of assistance include light house cleaning, shopping, meals, laundry, changing beds and keeping your gardens neat and tidy.

If your needs are a little higher or complex, you may be eligible for a Home Care Package which will enable a number of your current needs that are normally coordinated in partnership with an accredited organisation.

Home Care Packages are approved for four different levels of support and can include assistance with bathing, showering, medications or nursing assistance. Each package will be different because it will be designed for your specific needs and your goals.

Last year, changes introduced by the federal government gave individuals the power of choice.

This means that you, the consumer is in charge of choosing the organisation that you feel fits your needs best, and who you want to work with you.

You also have the right to change providers if you are not happy with your current one, which I think is a great step forward. Please be aware that they have the right to charge an exit fee but many organisations, like NovaCare, have chosen to have an exit fee of nil. You can check and compare information about various providers on the myagedcare website.

The Australian Government subsidises a range of aged care services to keep client fees reasonable and affordable.

To find out more about help at home you should call My Aged Care Helpline on 1800 200 422.

TAI CHI

Chat with Amanda Heidke of The Tai Chi Centre

Why does Tai Chi sometimes look different?

This can be confusing for those new to Tai Chi (Taijiquan), the reason they look different is because there are different styles of Tai Chi and different forms (routines) within each style. The main difference between the styles, with or without a weapon, is in the way the postures are held and the pace that the movements are performed.

The five major styles are Chen, Yang, Wu, Wu/Hao and Sun.

Chen Style is the oldest of the major styles which is dynamic and has an emphasis on spiral force and explosive power.

Yang Style is the most widely practised in the world today, particularly the simplified 24 form which was created at the direction of the Chinese Government in 1956. Yang style is characterised by gentle graceful and slow movements.

Wu/Hao Style has postures and actions that are very compact, and brisk.

Wu Style is characterised by a slightly forward leaning posture and many hand techniques.

Sun Style is the youngest of the major styles and is characterised by a high stance and agile steps.

Whenever one foot moves forward or backwards the other foot follows.

Whichever style you choose to learn, whether for martial art, for health improvement or for relaxation, learning the basics well and practising is the key to enjoying the many benefits of Tai Chi. When you begin, it is a good idea to commit to a full term of Tai Chi classes and settle in to the learning process. Usually the benefits of your Tai Chi will be apparent at this point and as you continue, the benefits will increase, your skills will improve and your enjoyment will be enhanced.

My advice: be patient and keep going.

MIND

Matters

by Dr Stuart Edser

Principal Psychologist at Newcastle Psychology & Health

Seeing a psychologist

Why do people see a psychologist? Times have certainly changed. Where in times past, people might have felt there was a stigma attached in seeing a psychologist, that sense of shame in asking for professional help has been diminishing over the years. We have begun to understand that talking to someone who is not a part of the problem, someone objective and understanding, and who can bring a wealth of training and research to the issue, can be

extremely helpful.

People of all age groups and from all walks of life come along. As a society, we are now beginning to understand that looking after your mental health is as important as looking after your physical health.

People see a psychologist for a huge number of reasons. Perhaps there is anxiety: a generalised low hum of nervousness that’s always around, or episodes of panic that come out of the blue. Perhaps there is some kind of phobia, like dentists, or injections or spiders or flying or restaurants. For some it is a depression, where life feels like a huge struggle and people sometimes ask what’s the point. For others, it can be challenging relationships. Maybe they are fighting with their partner constantly, or they have drifted apart or there is cruelty. Sometimes the parent child relationship is severed, even in adults. Some face difficulties with colleagues or bosses at work.

Some feel lost. Some feel like they’ve wasted their lives. Some have sexual difficulties. Some have addictions: alcohol, cannabis, nicotine, other drugs, gambling, pornography.

People are discovering that they are not alone and that talking an issue through can help enormously.

In most cases, working openly and honestly with the psychologist, will bring better resolution to make life more fulfilling.

Surrogacy in Australia

Making Legal Easy

SURROGACY We can assist you through the process by: ➤ Explaining the processes and procedures; ➤ Preparing your surrogacy agreement; ➤ Preparing your parentage application after birth; ➤ Applying the rules that relate to surrogacy.

Call 1800 003 004 for an appointment 17 Beaumont St, Hamilton T: 1800 003 004 E: mail@nlegal.com.au W: www.nlegal.com.au Page 26 > Hamilton Local > March 2018

Surrogacy may be the only option for a person or couple wishing to have a biological child. In Australia “altruistic surrogacy” is legal. This means the surrogate’s reasonable expenses such as medical costs and sick leave due to the pregnancy may be paid by the intended parent(s) but nothing more.

Commercial surrogacy is illegal in Australia. This involves the surrogate receiving a gift (in money or kind) in return for carrying and birthing the child.

Who is eligible? A court must be satisfied there is a medical or social need for the surrogacy arrangement.

Criteria includes where the intended parent(s) are unable to conceive a child, are likely to conceive a child affected by a serious genetic condition or where the mother is unlikely to be able to carry the baby to term. The same criteria apply for same sex couples and single individuals without discrimination.

Surrogacy Agreement: A Surrogacy Agreement is needed before conception. This agreement sets out the details and intentions of all parties involved. It creates a binding contract for all steps necessary for parentage of the child to be transferred to the intended parents to be completed.

Transferring Parentage after Birth: To transfer parentage after birth an application is made to the Supreme Court. This application must be filed within 6 months of birth otherwise the only way for parentage to be transferred is by adoption. Affidavits from the surrogate and intended parent(s), their solicitors, the doctor who deemed the parent eligible and psychologist reports are required.

The process is technical involving particular steps being taken at the right times. For advice on surrogacy speak to a lawyer experienced in this jurisdiction.

PHARMACY

Matters

Flu vaccine; who really needs it?

Each year in Australia, influenza causes an estimated 3,000 deaths in older people. There are also the economic costs to the community of more than one and a half million lost work days, 300,000 doctor visits and 18,000 people admitted to hospital.

However, it’s not just older people who are affected by the flu. The fact is, rates of flu infection are highest among young children; although children under the age of five are less likely to show typical symptoms of the flu - the fever and the cough – so you may not know that your child has contracted the infection.

Most children cope pretty well with the flu but young children are especially vulnerable to new strains of the flu such as the “swine flu” which was first identified in 2009. Their underdeveloped immune systems can’t manage the invading virus.

So the flu virus picks its victims, singling out those people least able to resist the adverse effects. The greatest concern for doctors and patients alike is the danger, not just of the flu itself, but of severe complications such as pneumonia and the effect of influenza on existing medical conditions.

People with chronic heart, kidney or lung disease, diabetes or other long-term illnesses are particularly at risk. The stress caused by influenza can worsen these conditions and even cause premature death.

Today, prevention is our major weapon against influenza. You can help protect yourself by making sure your lifestyle is healthy with regular exercise you enjoy and a daily diet that includes the widest possible variety of foods. And, of course, annual vaccination against the flu is recommended for all people in high risk categories.

Everyone 65 years or older should have the flu vaccine. As well, at any age, you should be vaccinated if you have an ongoing illness such as diabetes, kidney disease, asthma, heart or circulation problems, or

compromised immunity as a result of HIV, cancer or longer-term steroid use.

Now there is also a special effort to ensure people who might spread the infection to the above groups are vaccinated. This includes health workers – doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, carers and even children. There is mounting evidence that widespread vaccination of children against influenza slashes infection rates in both children and the more vulnerable elderly. This year, once again, only certain brands of flu vaccine are recommended for children under 10 years of age (following evidence of some adverse effects in young children a couple of years ago with a particular brand of vaccine). Your doctor or pharmacist can give you more details.

As in previous years, the Australian Government will provide flu vaccine free of charge to everyone 65 years plus; and those people qualifying for the “free allocation” also include pregnant women, indigenous people 15 years and over, and anyone six months of age and over with a condition “pre-disposing to severe influenza illness” – such as heart or lung diseases.

You can get more advice about whether the flu vaccine is right for you from pharmacies around Australia providing the Self Care health information. Phone the Pharmaceutical Society (PSA) on 1300 369 772 for the nearest location, or visit the website at www.psa.org. au or Ask Piggotts!
