This week...

From the editor Invariably, this time of year always prompts us to think about this wide brown land we live in and what it means to be Australian.

For me, Australia Day, while definitely a day to reflect on our heritage, is also a day to look at how far we have come as a nation since Federation and a day to marvel at our current place on the world stage, in such spheres as business, science and innovation and entertainment. We only have to look at the wealth of talent in our own backyard to realise this is true.

It is also a day to celebrate inclusion.

Part of what has made this nation great is the fact that Australia is a country that, by and large, is willing to give anyone a ‘fair go’ regardless of race, gender, colour or creed. The contributions other cultures have made to our own are immeasurable and have enriched our lives immensely.

Sure, we still may have a way to go, but Australia is definitely a country that is always striving to improve itself.

Australia Day is also a time to reflect on the abundant natural beauty we have in this country – not least in the Hunter Region. From the gorgeous coastline – from Port Stephens to Newcastle – to tranquil and picturesque Lake Macquarie and the rolling rural vistas of the Hunter Valley and beyond, we certainly have a lot to be thankful for.

Swansea residents meet to discuss the development application for 1 Josephson Street.

Residents fight proposal development application for an affordable housing complex in Swansea has met strong opposition from some residents.

Its character, social impact, and safety implications top a long list of community concerns, leading more than 1300 residents to sign a petition opposing the development.

A private applicant by the name of Norma Taouk proposes a three-storey, mixed-use boarding house/commercial development at 1 Josephson Street, opposite Woolworths, which will provide temporary accommodation for up to 12 months at a time.

It will include 11, self-contained

rooms; a three-bedroom manager’s residence on the top floor; and a commercial space on the bottom floor.

The $1.3 million development will be privately run. However, some residents are less than impressed by the proposal.

A group of about 30 held a community meeting on-site last Saturday – with Lake Macquarie council representatives and local MPs noticeably absent.

Most of these residents fought two similar developments in Josephson and Boyd streets about eight years ago, which were built by the state government and operated by Compass Housing.

Joan Harman, a Josephson Street resident of 26 years, said the new development would be “a huge detriment to Swansea.”

“We have to win this time; we must get it past the keeper,” she said.

In her public submission to the

council, Mrs Harman questioned the type of people who would be living there. “[It] doesn’t sound like a runof-the mill boarding house to me,” she said. “It sounds, in fact, the very opposite.”

Community misconceptions about the difference between affordable housing and social housing was flagged as a key implication of the development in a Social Impact Assessment.

As such, the report outlined the need to consult with the community on what affordable housing was and who would be living there, including away-from-home workers; individuals and families under housing stress; and those in need of emergency housing due to circumstances beyond their control.

The development application is still under assessment by the council.

Record trade for port A surge in coal and wheat exports drove a new trade record for the Port of Newcastle in 2016.

Australia’s third largest port by trade volume handled just over 168

million tonnes last year – 3.8 million tonnes more than in 2015.

Wheat exports jumped to almost 761,000 tonnes from 467,000 tonnes in 2015.

Further, more than 161 million tonnes of coal was exported; a 2% increase year-on-year.

December saw a new monthly coal export record of 15.9 million tonnes.

The bumper year for the Port of Newcastle brought the total trade value for 2016 to $18.69 billion.

Port of Newcastle chief executive officer Geoff Crowe said, with further investment being made in the port, he believed it would remain pivotal to the Hunter’s economic success.

“This is a great result for the port, the Hunter region and the state, and we continue to work with industry and businesses throughout our New South Wales catchment area to deliver new trade,” he said.

With 200 hectares of vacant land and a shipping channel, which could handle double the current ship movements, Mr Crowe said the port had huge potential for diversification and growth into the future.

Ms Berejiklian was elected, unopposed, as the state’s 45th premier after Mike Baird resigned from the top job. Dominic Perrottet was elected as deputy leader of the Liberal Party.

The Liberal party room meeting, last week, to decide both appointments lasted only 10 minutes.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald said he was “very excited by the elevation of Gladys”.

“Gladys is a quiet, sincere performer – exactly what our state needs in these uncertain economic and political times,” he said.

Mount Hutton resident Ray Hinton in amongst abandoned shopping trolleys in Scrubby Creek, underneath the Merrigum Street road bridge in Windale.

Mount Hutton resident Ray Hinton is celebrating a small victory for his community.

News, last Thursday, that the Joint Regional Planning Panel had incorporated new shopping trolley management measures into the consent conditions for the Coles expansion at Lake Macquarie Fair, came not a moment too soon for him.

For three years, Ray has been lobbying, as both a private resident and secretary of Mount Hutton Windale Residents Action Group, to have the area’s shopping trolley problem addressed.

Over time, abandoned trolleys from the nearby Lake Macquarie Fair shopping centre have piled up in Scrubby Creek, which runs behind the centre, compounding existing blockage issues.

This has exacerbated flooding

during times of moderate to heavy rain – threatening residents’ homes – Ray’s included.

While Lake Macquarie council has worked with Charter Hall, as the owner of the shopping centre, to remove trolleys and other bulky items discarded in the creek, Ray estimates there may be as many as a hundred trolleys still lodged in there, entwined with weeds.

The problem is particularly bad in a section of the creek underneath the Merrigum Street road bridge in Windale.

Nevertheless, the new consent conditions for Charter Hall’s development application to expand the Coles supermarket are a step in the right direction, Ray says.

“It’s not a perfect solution, but it still puts the community in a better position,” he said.

The Joint Regional Planning

Panel has requested that, as part of the development, a magnetic barrier be installed around the shopping centre’s perimeter, which would cause a shopping trolley’s wheels to lock beyond that point.

This will be enforced on Coles, which must sign a new lease if the development goes ahead, but Woolworths and Big W must consent to the new conditions.

The new conditions replace the draft consent conditions, originally drawn up by the council.

However, the original conditions did not include orders for a magnetic barrier.

The planning panel expects a response to the new conditions, and a decision on the overall development application, by mid-February.

news Lake Macquarie City Council’s Manager Cultural Services, Jacqui Hemsley, at the pop-up chill out zone at Toronto Foreshore.

Culture in spotlight at Lake Mac Under the plan, Lake Macquarie locals can expect to see more initiatives like the pop-up chill out zones currently being trialled across the city start to crop up in more public places.

Ms Hemsley said the colourful outdoor furniture – which is now at Belmont foreshore, but was initially set up at Toronto Foreshore – as well as roving life-size public artworks had been well received by the community.

There are two community forums to discuss the plan slated for Thursday 2 February at Swansea Centre and Toronto Library.

For more information, phone Jacqui Hemsley on 4921 0333 or email council@lakemac.nsw.gov.au -Georgia Osland

Newcastle Airport saw 1,216,624 passengers pass through its doors in 2016 – the largest number of passengers to utilise the airport in its history.

The figure represents a 5.5% increase for the second-busiest airport in NSW. CEO Dr Peter Cock said that 2016 was an exceptional year for the airport, punctuated by key achievements and milestones such as an inaugural flight to Dubbo and commencing services to Coffs Harbour in October.

“The consistent solid performance in the back half of the year was seen in December where a 7.4% year-on-year growth was recorded for the month,” he said.

“Looking ahead into 2017, the airlines have added almost 40,000 extra seats to and from Newcastle for the Easter, school holiday and ANZAC Day period when compared with last year.”

Lake Macquarie’s rich cultural fabric is made up of much more than just art galleries, says Lake Macquarie council’s Manager Cultural Services, Jacqui Hemsley.

“It’s performing arts, galleries, dance, libraries, museums and so much more,” she said.

Ms Hemsley is the driving force behind the city’s new Arts, Heritage and Cultural Plan 2017-2027, currently on exhibition.

The plan aims to help residents better engage with the city’s already diverse art, cultural and heritage scene.

To do this, the council has been hosting a series of community forums to canvass residents’ ideas on how to develop, invigorate and promote Lake Macquarie’s arts, heritage and culture.

(Un)leash fitness Top tips to get you and your pooch moving!

RSPCA NSW Hunter advertising moment

Forget joining a gym to reach your New Year’s resolution fitness goals: get moving with our 4 legged best friends!

Debbie Jaggers, Manager of Hunter Animal Care Services, RSPCA NSW says that research has proven that dog ownership leads people to get involved in much more leisure time activity and therefore improves their fitness. Top outdoor activities with your dog can include: • Running — A lot of dogs are instinctively competitive, so when you run alongside yours, she’ll often speed up a bit. Game on!

• Playing Frisbee — Don’t take the easy option of making your dog do all the hard work: run along with her to retrieve it. Then toss it another 20 metres away and chase after it together again.

• Beat the heat and go for a swim — If you live near the water, then dive in and practice your

doggy paddle. Remember safety first though, and don’t let yourself or your pooch get out of your depth.

• Tug-of-war — This is another fun way to get some more activity into your day. And the bigger and heavier the breed, the tougher the game!

• • •

However, before heading for the great outdoors, there are a few things to consider: • Always have water for yourself and your dog, and remember to take a shady break if she needs to rest.

• Check with your veterinarian to ensure your dog’s vaccination status before taking a stroll in the dog park. There are a number

•

of contagious diseases she could catch, including distemper, kennel cough and parvovirus.

Don’t run your pup or dog alongside your bike. This is actually illegal in some states.

Make sure your dog is registered and microchipped and is wearing a collar and tag On hot days, try to walk your dog very early in the morning or very late in the afternoon in order to avoid the hottest part of the day. Do not exercise animals in hot, humid conditions.

Unless in an off-leash area, a collar or harness with a leash is a legal necessity to keep your dog safe from other animals, people and roads.

Cooks Hill Surf Life Saving Club and Variety The Children’s Charity volunteers help Amelia Musgrave test out one of the floating wheelchairs.

A special summer gift Nine-year-old Amelia Musgrave, of Adamstown Heights, is happiest when she is swimming.

In the pool twice a week for hydrotherapy, and at the beach on

18

Sundays for Cooks Hill Surf Life Saving Club’s Same Wave program for children with disabilities, Amelia is a water baby through and through.

She was born with an extremely

rare neurodegenerative disorder – a genetic mutation called Lissencephaly, which literally means smooth brain.

Amelia’s brain failed to develop the normal folds and grooves in utero.

She is the fourth person in the world to be diagnosed with the condition.

On top of this, she is missing the part of her brain that connects the left and right hemispheres; is legally blind and suffers epilepsy.

Her brainstem, pons and midbrain are all asymmetric, affecting sensory functions such as breathing, facial movement and hearing.

Amelia’s condition makes swimming tricky, but not impossible, with the right help.

So, to hear that Variety The Children’s Charity had donated two floating wheelchairs to Cooks Hill Surf Life Saving Club so kids like Amelia don’t miss

out on the chance to swim at the beach this summer, Amelia’s mum, Jane, was elated.

“I think it’s going to be one of those things that will help her feel more accepted,” she said.

“People with disabilities don’t want you to feel sorry for them; they want you to understand, but they want to be included in activities.”

Amelia was among the first to trial one of the floating wheelchairs at a special presentation, earlier this month.

As a participant in the Cooks Hill club’s Same Wave program, Amelia had previously used a rescue tube to float in the water.

She still needs assistance, but the floating wheelchair gives her greater independence and freedom of movement.

“She just loves swimming,” Jane said.

“It’s so beautiful to watch.”

On a mission to help others For those hoping to take control of addictive behaviours in 2017, there is help out there.

In conjunction with SMART Recovery Australia, Mission Australia administers SMART Recovery – a free, self-help program that equips people with the tools to beat dependencies on alcohol, drugs and gambling.

It differs from traditional, 12-step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous in that it focuses on harm minimisation and working towards abstinence.

Using evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing, counsellors help participants reflect on the past seven days, and plan for the next seven days.

“It’s about making sure they’re offered the compassion

An ‘incredible’ experience

Islington’s Ruby Dempsey sightseeing at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France, during her time overseas.

As far as post-holiday comedowns go, Islington’s Ruby Dempsey might be shaking this one off for a while.

Ruby, 16, recently returned from a town called Brive La Gaillarde in the French countryside, where she spent a year on exchange with the Rotary Youth Exchange Program.

While on exchange, she lived with four different host families and attended the local high school.

Within a month, Ruby had settled in, and by month four, she had learned the ins and outs of the French language.

By the end of her exchange program, she had made countless new friends and had experienced a totally new way of life.

“It was a really incredible experience; I met a lot of great people, I learned a new language, and it opened my eyes to a new culture,” she said.

As part of the exchange

program, Ruby, sponsored by the Rotary Club of WallsendMaryland, travelled around Europe for a few weeks on a ‘Eurotour’, organised by Rotary, with 15 other Hunter students who were also on exchange in their respective host countries, including Spain, Finland, Slovakia and Sweden.

Ruby said France was her first choice, and, having gained a ‘host sister’, Cęline, out of the experience, made it even sweeter.

Cęline and Ruby switched places for a few months; Cęline lived with the Dempseys while Ruby was still in France.

Cęline will return to France at the end of the month, but Ruby said they would remain sisters for life.

Applications for the 2018 program are now open.

New approach to help those who’ve lost someone to suicide

Local Paralympic legend Kurt Fearnley will be a major drawcard at this weekend’s Hunter Track Classic.

A cavalcade of track talent

Lifeline Hunter Central Coast is piloting a new approach to support local people who’ve lost a loved one to suicide.

The two suicide bereavement therapeutic groups will each be open to up to 10 people and run for two hours per week over six weeks.

Rio Olympic hurdler Michelle Jenneke, women’s 4x400m relay finalists Morgan Mitchell and Anneliese Rubie, and Paralympic athletes Kurt Fearnley and Christie Dawes will be the main drawcards at the Hunter Track Classic at Hunter Sports Centre this weekend.

Event organiser and Rio Olympic marathon competitor Scott Westcott described this year’s Hunter Track Classic as a “festival of athletics” featuring an elite program, community races and coaching clinics.

“This event is a highlight of the Australian athletics season,” he said.”

Participants will have the opportunity to explore the topic of loss to suicide in a safe and nurturing way, supported by Lifeline psychologists. They‘ll use acceptance and commitment therapy and behavioural change tools to help people become more resilient to psychological stresses.

Lifeline Clinical Supervisor, Amir Salem, said losing a loved one can be one of the most emotionally stressful experiences any one will ever have to deal with.

“Dealing with the loss of a loved one to suicide can add a layer of further complexity to the grieving process. Grief and loss is not something as a society we are well equipped to deal with.”

For more information or to book a place ph 4940 2000.

Proudly supported by

“We have great support from the elite athletes and the athletics community in general.

“The Hunter Track Classic also promotes spectator involvement, by inviting supporters onto the arena to get up close to the athletes.”

The Hunter track Classic is on at Hunter Sports Centre (Stockland Drive, Glendale) on Saturday 28 January, from 6pm. Tickets are $7 for kids and $13 for adults, available at the gate or online. Registrations for Hunter’s Fastest Kid and the Community 1k Challenge are $20, which includes an entry ticket. For online entries, tickets and program details, visit huntertrackclassic.com.au

I HEARD A RUMOUR The smouldering soul powerhouse has set the world on fire with such emotive, brooding pop tracks as Rolling in the Deep, Set Fire to the Rain, Someone Like You and the Oscar-winning Skyfall.

While Adele isn’t coming to Newcastle, a show that has been described as “the next best thing to seeing Adele” is.

Adele: Rumour Has It features the formidable vocal talents of Naomi Price, who first came to national attention on the 2015 series of The Voice as Ricky Martin’s leading lady.

Naomi told Newcastle Weekly that while the tour commenced in her home state of Queensland last week, her and the band considered the Newcastle show to be the first on the tour.

“We’re really looking forward to Newcastle as it’s the first show outside of Queensland and, because I'm from there, those shows don’t really count as a tour,” she said.

Written in 2012, the show has dropped jaws everywhere it has played, including stand-out seasons at Melbourne’s Hamer Hall and

the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.

However, Naomi said the original concept was more satirical.

“We wanted it to be a bit of a comedy – the whole idea of Adele needing to lighten up and write some happy songs,” she said.

“But when we started researching, we just fell in love with her – her singing and her story. Just the idea that this tearaway could be responsible for some of the best songs ever is fascinating to me.”

Welcome to Woof Woof is the brainchild of Mayfield artist Vanessa Turton, who also works at the gallery as a teacher and gallery officer.

She told Newcastle Weekly the highly interactive exhibition invited all visitors to get involved.

“I was thinking of an idea for an exhibition that would appeal to everyone in the community and the conclusion was ‘who doesn’t love dogs’,” she said.

While Woof Woof is strictly a dog town, Vanessa said that people were more than welcome to visit and might even be able to throw a bone to a hungry plush doggie, or even help find a four-legged friend the perfect dog house.

“The exhibition is an installation where people can touch and be

involved in absolutely everything – it’s basically a little town populated with cute little dog houses made by Newcastle artist Max Grieve and I’ve painted murals on each of the walls.

“There will be bones growing on trees as well as plenty of dogrelated activities like a chalkboard and children’s activity tables. It’s colourful, it’s exciting and there’s something for everyone.”

The exhibition is a perfect adjunct to another dog-themed exhibition at MRAG from 4 February – Teena’s Bathtime by David Capra – an interactive and multi-sensory artwork to engage people with disabilities.

“These exhibitions are great for the whole family and a great chance for people to see what a great space we have here at MRAG,” Vanessa said.

Welcome to Woof Woof is on at Maitland Regional Art Gallery from Saturday 4 February.

THERE’S A STORM BREWING Having just completed their fifth tour of America, Sydney-based roots rockers Stormcellar are back on Australian roads and will be swinging by the Wickham Park Hotel, this weekend, in what promises to be a show to write home about.

Slide guitarist Paul Read told Newcastle Weekly that the band was eager to get back onto the Aussie touring circuit as they were about to unleash their ninth long player, tentatively titled Defiant, onto the world.

“On our last tour of the States, we recorded the album and we got to work with some pretty amazing guys like Kansas City Blues; Millage Gilbert who was

Iconic Aussie singer-songwriter Kasey Chambers has just released her highly anticipated new album Dragonfly – just in time for Australia Day. The double album features singles Ain’t No Little Girl and Satellite and the release is separated into two recording sessions; one at The Sing Sing Sessions and produced by Australian music legend Paul Kelly; the other at The Foggy Mountain Sessions and produced by Kasey’s brother and long-time producer Nash Chambers.

“Working with Paul Kelly as my producer on one side of the Dragonfly was a dream come true,” Kasey said. “Paul brought out a whole new side of me, but then I also got to enjoy the comforts of recording with the person who knows and has shaped my original sound better than anyone, my brother Nash.”

Dragonfly is out now.

While they started out as a progressive trad blues band, Paul said that, over nine albums the band had incorporated myriad influences into their sound, with Defiant taking on a much more Southern rock feel.

RENOVATING

DIY TERRARIUM A terrarium is a simple way to bring lush beauty to indoor spaces.

This is an edited extract from Miniscapes by Clea Cregan (Hardie Grant Books) RRP $29.99 and available in stores nationally.

Prickly pear Equipment 35cm pear-shaped glass container 3 cups small black stones 1/2 cup horticultural charcoal 4 cups potting mix (or succulent soil) Plants 1 Gymnocalycium mihanovichii friedrichii ‘Moon Cactus’ 1 Haworthia fasciata ‘Zebra Plant’ 1 Pilosocereus azureus ‘Columnar Cactus’ 1 Aloe longistyla 3 Lobivia silvestrii ‘Peanut Cactus’ 2 Echeveria glauca 1 Rhipsalidopsis gaertneri ‘Easter Cactus’ Decorations 5 large rocks Handful of black river pebbles 1/4 cup cream gravel 1/4 cup light grey pebbles 1/4 cup dark grey stones

Steps 1. Give the glass a wash inside and out.

2. Pour the black stones into the bottom of the bowl and gently shake to create an even layer.

3. Sprinkle the charcoal evenly over the stones.

4. Add three-quarters of the potting mix to the container.

5. Remove the plants from their pots and gently scrape away any excess soil, so you are only left with the root balls.

6. Place small plants around the inside edge of the terrarium and tall plants in the middle. Add the remaining soil to cover the roots and press down firmly around the root balls.

7. Place the large rocks and river pebbles in between the plants.

8. Add a section of cream gravel. Then add an area of grey pebbles and dark grey stones.

9. Water the plants thoroughly with a water spray bottle.

Guidelines Slowly pour 1/2 cup water directly onto the soil once a month in winter and every two weeks in summer.

The Madel Night Light allows you to create their perfect sleeping environment, setting the colour and brightness at the touch of a button.

It gives you the flexibility to either enjoy comforting soft light all night, or to sleep in darkness with the added reassurance of a motion sensor to activate the lamp when needed.

So, when your child gets scared or loses their comforter, the motion sensor means they can simply wave at the light, bringing it back to life for a few minutes. This enables your child to calmly self-sooth without feeling the need to wake you.

Each light includes three swappable designs from the following: Dinosaur, Rocket, Train, Owl, Butterfly, Fairy, Mermaid, and Woodlands Fawn. madelnightlights.com.au

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

February

March

April

It may be humid, but gardening is necessary in February, particularly if the army grub is decimating your lawn. Treat the entire lawn, using a different product than last year. Mow the grass and apply late in the afternoon. Repeat this treatment in two days and water Seasol over brown patches to stimulate root growth. Check indoor plants for mealy bug. When Agapanthus finish flowering, cut the long stems off at the base and check for mealy bug. Roses should be given a light prune by the end of the month. Fertilise with poultry manure.

Potted citrus will need a slowrelease fertiliser, while groundgrown plants should be fed with poultry manure, under the drip line. Water before and after application. Follow up with citrus fertiliser several weeks later.

Dust winter vegetables, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts with Derris Dust to deter moths and butterflies. Cyclamen bulbs should be re-potted and fertilised to stimulate new growth.

Sasanqua camellias are beginning to flower and are ideal for hedging and as specimens in pots. Apply peat moss around the root’s surface to maintain acidity.

Spring bulbs should be available now. When planting, apply bulb fertiliser then, on emergence and when leaves are dying off.

Planting poppies on Anzac Day is still observed, but remember to fertilise with poultry manure at least one week before planting.

With the low interest rates, uncertainty in regards to pensions in the future, and restrictions on accessing your superannuation, buying an investment property is definitely the way to make money.

You can control your own destiny.

Some investors prefer new homes, which require little if any maintenance, plus you have the additional tax benefit of depreciation.

You need to consider resale and potential capital gain.

New properties are often in new estates, with many popping up all over our area.

You need to be mindful of the fact that the rental return required is at the higher end of the scale, making them sometimes difficult to rent out due to the high supply of houses and low supply of tenants who can afford them on lower incomes.

Buying an established property, it’s best to look for a something you can “value add”.

From my considerable experience, this

could be the addition of a double garage, or a shed. If the property is only small, the addition of a third bedroom, back deck or With Dowling Real Estate additional living Cessnock principal licensee area could be Joanne Richley. beneficial.

A fresh coat of paint, new floorcovering, good heating and cooling, a well-fenced yard – these are all things tenants are looking for and it will also help to increase resale and rental return.

You can claim back some repairs and maintenance costs, plus you get capital gain when you sell.

If you are able to do some work yourself, all the better, as long as it done well.

When is the last time that you have heard of a townhouse having 4 bedrooms /or/ 3 bedrooms & 2 living areas.

Chad Dunn and Tom Lemke the “townhome specialists” have just put one of the two properties soon to be completed on the market. Chad Dunn says, We have decided to release one of them off the plan prior to completion – so that it gives the potential purchasers time to look at selling their own homes before the property would need to settle in 4 to 6 months before completion. The expectation is that the target market will end up being local or Sydney interest from the over 55’s age group looking to upscale but downsize.

NOVOCASTRIAN

These two townhouses are expected to generate strong interest, so to get a copy of your information pack: contact chad or tom at chad.novocastrian@century21.com.au or 02 49287400

PICK OF THE WEEK X+Y

The Punisher

Friday, SBS, 8.40pm, M (2014) This heart-warming British indie film follows the unconventional and hilarious relationship between student and teacher as an autistic maths prodigy (Asa Butterfield, left) copes with the loss of his father, and unexpectedly finds friendship and support when he’s selected for the British team of the International Maths Olympiad. Butterfield is commendable as Nathan, a detached but sensitive and observant boy, who always seems to be looking in on the world as an outsider until love blossoms with a fellow maths whizz (Jo Yang).

Friday

Saturday, 7MATE, 9.30pm, MA15+ (2004) This comic-book adaptation is the second cinematic outing for the famed skull shirt-wearing Marvel hero (following that forgettable 1990 Australian-made effort starring Dolph Lundgren). It features the stoic Tom Jane (Boogie Nights) as the titular avenger, ex-FBI agent Frank Castle, bent on wiping out the scummy gangsters who murdered his wife and child. Chief among his targets is crime boss Howard Saint (John Travolta, above) who watches as his minions swiftly disappear when Frank sets out on his lethal mission of vengeance.

The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Sunday, TEN, 8.30pm, PG (2015) This sequel to retirement themed comedy-drama The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel follows the dreams of hotel owner Sonny (Dev Patel), who has his eye on a promising property now that his first venture has only a single remaining vacancy.

Also keeping him busy is his imminent marriage to the love of his life, Sunaina (Tina Desai). With returning cast members Judi Dench (right), Maggie Smith and Bill Nighy, this won’t fail to make you smile.

WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

The possibilities are endless for Jessica this year. Feeling more courageous and spirited, Jessica is willing to explore off the beaten track and will find support from family and friends in her endeavours.

Jessica’s positive outlook will hold her in good stead and she can expect many aspects of her life to improve this year.

She will also experience personal growth and an active and enriching social life.

ARIES MAR 21 – APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 – JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 – OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 – JAN 20

It is important in 2017 that you are open to change, so go where life is leading you, rather than being controlling. Mars is in your sign in February allowing you to make a fresh start and to push forward with your ambitions.

Career opportunities will come your way and this will increase your responsibilities, but they will also feature your talents in a dynamic light. A fitness, diet or health pursuit will require a concerted effort but the results will be worth it.

Relationships are going to be intense.

Money should become easier to find and doors will open for you. There might be an involvement with legal matters; if so, you will come out on the winning side, especially if property is involved. This is a good time to build, renovate or invest in property.

Capricorn is ruled by Saturn which relates to the knees, bones and joints so it is time to get active.

Get those runners out and start a power walking routine, renew your gym membership and focus on light weights, join a yoga class or reconnect with your garden.

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

SCORPIO OCT 24 – NOV 22

AQUARIUS JAN 21 – FEB 19

It’s a good time to let go of clutter, detox your diet and your relationships. A reunion will reset a relationship, an invitation that’s been a long time coming will be a joy, and fun activities with your children or younger relatives will open new lines of communication.

You are in a productive phase; your energy coupled with a strong sense of direction suggests success. The kind of kinetic mental energy you've got now is what transforms businesses, careers and even entire industries.

Think big and act like a leader; people will definitely want to follow.

It’s a good time to raise things with your partner that you weren’t sure you could address just a little while ago. But think about how you are expressing yourself. It’s all very well being honest with people, but you have to consider the impact of your words.

VIRGO AUG 24 – SEPT 23

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 – DEC 21

PISCES FEB 20 – MAR 20

With Jupiter in your money house, you have great luck when it comes to bringing in cash. You will end this year in a much better space financially then when it started. You will start to believe in yourself more which will enable you to manifest money quite easily.

Saturn is in your sign until the end of the year, indicating you need to master yourself and your emotions, in other words, rise to the challenges and push through your fears. New doors will be opening for you on the work front, especially in March and April.

Venus is in Pisces in January indicating a real coming together between yourself and those you care about. But mind how you go as you can be a bit of a control freak with your friends. Be sure you truly no longer want someone around before severing ties.

TAURUS APR 21 – MAY 21 You have great stars if you want to move home or even countries or simply change your domestic set-up this year. In February and March it is important that you rest up, because in April the communications planet Mercury will be retrograde, making life rather chaotic or confusing.

GEMINI MAY 22 – JUNE 21 Focus on the lessons that Saturn is teaching you about relating to others, not just at home, but also at work. This is the ideal time to focus on improving your health and daily routines. Come March complications are likely in your social life especially with females as Venus is retrograde.
