This week...

From the editor As consumer in the 21st century, I rarely give thought to the providence of the products I buy. The convenience of the supermarket means I don’t have to think too much about where the meat I eat was raised and how long it took to get from paddock to plate.

08 10 15

Wait is over for the west Capital works projects on council’s radar

Merger suggestion floated Mayor crusades for Port Stephens-Dungog council merger

Kicking goals in science Barnsley Public School student’s genius invention

Well, that all changed this week, as I was given the opportunity to purchase a half lamb from a colleague who has a farm at Millers Forrest, near Maitland.

23

The lamb, purchased at the ridiculous price of $40 per half, was running around in the paddock just 48 hours before. You couldn’t get any fresher. While some may baulk at the idea, for me, purchasing this way --- knowing exactly where the produce comes from and cutting out the various middle men that normally get it to your plate – is possibly the most ethical and environmentally friendly way to consume meat, or any product for that matter.

Regulars

As for the taste – well, so far, my wife, son and I have had pan-fried cutlets and slow-cooked shoulder and, on both occasions, the results were outstanding.

So much so, that I fear I'm now destined to constantly harass my colleague for an ETA on the next “shipment’.

We’ve still got quite a bit to get through (the shanks are definitely next on the agenda) so, if anyone out there has any outstanding lamb recipes, feel free to divulge.

Have a great week.

Newcastle west ward councillor Jason Dunn at the Tyrrell Street bridge in Wallsend.

t’s notorious for flooding, and residents and business owners alike have been waiting years for a solution, but Wallsend’s Tyrrell Street bridge is finally earmarked for replacement.

Newcastle council documents reveal that, in two separate memos dated 7 and 13 February, councillors were told work was underway to prepare concept plans for the bridge’s replacement.

A cost-benefit analysis of raising the bridge to different heights was also being conducted.

Initial investigations recommended the bridge be removed, however, this has since been scrapped.

Detailed design for the bridge’s replacement is expected to start this month.

It’s welcome news to west ward councillor Jason Dunn, who lodged a notice of motion, last week, calling on the council to prioritise the Tyrrell Street bridge and several other capital works projects in the western suburbs.

These included road widening and footpath works on Minmi Road; replacing the water main and resurfacing the road on Anderson Drive, Tarro; and the Wallsend and Beresfield town centre public domain plans.

With the 10th anniversary of the Pasha Bulka

storm approaching, Cr Dunn said it was high time that something was done about the Tyrrell Street bridge, in particular, adding that the western suburbs were often neglected.

“It just frustrates me when council achieves such amazing things in the city on time and on budget, and yet, things like flood mitigation are not as important,” he said. “It may not be as sexy as Bathers Way, but it still deserves attention.”

In his notice of motion, which he compiled with the help of his fellow Labor councillors, Cr Dunn asked the council to provide a detailed timetable for completion of these projects, and report back to councillors regularly on their progress.

However, the council noted in its response that these projects were already flagged as high priority in the council’s capital works portfolio, and monthly reporting was “not productive”.

“Council does not have the resources to report to councillors by ward on a monthly basis, as our focus is required to deliver the whole capital works program,” the report said. “If this reporting was a priority, other projects are likely to be delayed.”

Washington questions merger bid Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington has called shenanigans on mayor Bruce Mackenzie’s suggestion of a voluntary merger with Dungog council.

Mere weeks after the Berejiklian government abandoned proposed

mergers between some regional councils, including Newcastle and Port Stephens, Cr Mackenzie lodged a mayoral minute, which was endorsed by his fellow Port Stephens councillors, in favour of a merger with Dungog council.

During the 18-month long merger proposal process, Newcastle council stood strong on its preference to remain standalone, while Port Stephens Council had floated a merger with Dungog as a better alternative.

Now, Port Stephens Council has resolved to pursue the option further, by writing to NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian to advise that the council is prepared to enter into a voluntary amalgamation.

Ms Washington said the move was a desperate bid by Cr Mackenzie to “save his fiefdom from extinction”.

“Our community has had a win in stopping council mergers with Newcastle, but the mayor wants to start the merry-go-round again,” she said.

“The mayor continues to put

his personal agenda ahead of the community’s wishes.

“I question in whose interest Port Stephens Council is acting by requesting a merger with Dungog.”

But Cr Mackenzie refuted these claims, saying Port Stephens Council wanted to help its Dungog neighbour.

“I would put my track record up against Kate Washington’s any day of the week,” he said.

“Washington couldn’t give a hoot about Dungog because there’s nothing in it for her.

“The fact is we fought to merge with Dungog last year for a reason.

They need our help and we can deliver it as long as we can access adequate funding from the state government to assist.”

news Police shortage raised again Volunteers clean up Thomas Halton Park at Croudace Bay.

City glistens after clean-up Lake Macquarie city is glistening, thanks to an army of volunteers who rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty on Clean Up Australia Day, last Sunday.

Volunteers collectively bagged 10 tonnes of rubbish from 72 cleanup sites across the city, including parks, beaches, bushland, waterways and foreshores.

The annual clean-up is part of a national campaign to keep Australia beautiful.

sustainability, Dean Chapman, said it was encouraging to see so many people support the campaign.

“We really appreciate the efforts of volunteers who pitched in… to help keep Lake Macquarie city looking its best,” he said.

Police staffing has once again been flagged in the Wallsend electorate. Member for Wallsend Sonia Hornery heard from her constituents on the issue at community forums across the electorate again, last week, this time with shadow minister for justice and police; corrections; and emergency services, Guy Zangari, in tow.

Ms Hornery hosted the forums to give residents the opportunity to raise their concerns with Mr Zangari. She said pleas for an increased police presence and improved emergency services in the area had been ignored.

“Since I was elected to parliament, I have raised the issue of the Wallsend Police Station and the need for a greater police presence in the area,” she said.

“I have also been raising the issue of the Beresfield Police Station and the need for a greater police presence in that area, since Beresfield and Tarro moved in the Wallsend electorate in 2015.”

Mr Zangari echoed these sentiments.

“Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own community,” he said. “Wallsend deserves a well-staffed and resourced police station.”

Mr Zangari encouraged local residents to support Ms Hornery’s petition to have a greater police presence in the area.

Phone Ms Hornery’s office on 4950 0955.

news Returning McGrath Foundation breast care nurse Helen Moore with Greater Charitable Foundation chief executive officer Anne Long.

Second breast care nurse for Hunter A second McGrath Foundation breast care nurse has been appointed in the Hunter.

Originally a McGrath breast care nurse at the Breast & Endocrine Centre in Gateshead, nurse of 27

years, Helen Moore, has returned to the role, this time at Calvary Mater Hospital.

It’s all thanks to a $250,000 grant from the Greater Charitable Foundation, to ensure that Hunter

Janet doesn’t remember her husband.

WHO CARES? We do.

At Warabrook Centre, we believe every day is worth celebrating.

Because no disease is stronger than love.

residents diagnosed with breast cancer get the support they need.

Ms Moore said she loved the experience of being a breast care nurse so much, that when the opportunity arose to do it again, she grasped it.

“I am very excited to be back in the role,” she said.

“I’m passionate about providing evidence-based information and support to people who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

“It’s my goal to ensure that patients and families are aware and informed so I can provide them with timely, relevant support.”

Ms Moore joins the Hunter’s other McGrath breast care nurse, Rebecca Chenery, at the Mater.

Together, they provide physical, psychological and emotional support to people diagnosed with breast cancer in Newcastle and the

Hunter, from the time of diagnosis and throughout treatment.

Greater Charitable Foundation chief executive officer Anne Long said the foundation recognised an urgent need for a second McGrath breast care nurse.

“McGrath breast care nurses deliver on our mission to improve life outcomes for families and communities,” Ms Long said.

There are 117 breast care nurses across Australia, mostly in rural and regional communities where such treatment can be hard to find.

The service is free, regardless of whether you’re in the private or public health system. It is an initiative of the McGrath Foundation, which raises money to fund breast care nurses wherever they’re needed.

Kicking goals in science Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) will one day rule the world, Newcastle Weekly is sure of it.

Young Ella Findlay is proof of that.

The year 6 Barnsley Public School student has designed a device for the hearing and vision-impaired.

The device, worn around the neck like a pendant, flashes or vibrates at the sound of the person’s name, to alert them and others in emergency situations.

Ella’s invention won the recent Seed3D competition, coordinated by the ME program – an initiative of Regional Development Australia Hunter.

The competition is designed to increase the power and engagement of 3D printing in STEM, and drew competitors from 20 local primary and secondary schools.

Students were tasked with designing a product to meet the needs of what they considered real-world problems.

Most students had no prior knowledge

of the 3D printing design process, guided only by their imagination, inspiration and insight.

Ella was among the winners whose designs were 3D-printed to a scale model, courtesy of Me3D Printers.

She was one of the only junior prize recipients.

“I did not expect to be considered among the prize recipients, most of whom were from high school,” Ella said.

“At the same time I feel honoured to have my designed recognised and [to] represent my school at such a significant event.”

Me3D Printers chief executive officer and competition judge Matt Connelly suggested Ella’s device be patented, as research suggested her design was one of a kind.

Barnsley Public School was also presented an award for fostering engagement and interest in STEM in a primary school setting.

news Koala rescuer named woman of the year

Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington with Port Stephens Local Woman of the Year, Carmel Northwood.

Wildlife warrior Carmel Northwood has been crowned Port Stephens Local Woman of the Year.

As president and prime carer and rescuer at Port Stephens Koalas, Carmel has led local efforts to stop koala extinction in Port Stephens, where the koala population has dropped from 1200 to 200 in the past five years.

Carmel joined Port Stephens Koalas as a carer and rescuer in 2010.

This often involves feeding koalas every two hours, around the clock, to nurse them back to health.

Under her leadership, plans for a koala hospital in Port Stephens have progressed, and there’s been an increased awareness of the region’s dwindling koala population.

Carmel is also involved in the regeneration of koala food corridors in cooperation with Port Stephens Council.

Member for Port Stephens Kate Washington nominated Carmel for the award.

Community groups score funding Lake Macquarie council and the NSW government have awarded $6000 in funding between seven community organisations to host National Youth Week events.

Charlestown Oval hopes to engage young people through a range of recreational activities with its Youth

Engagement Program.

Lake Macquarie PCYC will hold a round robin competition, with sports such as Aikido, boxing and indoor hockey.

Morisset PCYC will run a five-day film production program, including a workshop covering all aspects of production and filming.

More play space for Cooranbong Kids in Cooranbong will soon have a new place to have fun with construction of a new playground starting this week.

The playground, located at Cedar Cutters Crescent, will consist of seating, a drinking fountain and a play area with swings, a slide and climbable areas. “Recreation spaces, such as this playground, provide Lake Macquarie families with an area where they can enjoy the outdoors and socialise with others in their community,” Lake Macquarie City Council’s community planning manager John Ferguson said.

Works are expected to be completed by the end of April.

Slow food markets postponed Slow Food Hunter Valley’s inaugural fresh food market in Maitland has been postponed due to heatwave-damaged crop. Newcastle Weekly reported, last month, that Maitland council had approved Slow Food Hunter Valley’s application for a fortnightly market at The Levee Central Maitland. The markets were due to kick off in February, but consistently high temperatures during summer have damaged much of local farmers’ produce. It is now anticipated the markets will start in April, with organisers hoping that cooler autumn temperatures will allow food to flourish.

Newcastle Regional Show president Brett Gleeson saunters through the crowd with one of his goats.

Furry friends draw a crowd Animals were the biggest drawcard at the 2017 Newcastle Regional Show.

Entries in the dog competition the All Breeds Championship Dog Show - were at a 20-year high, with 454 entrants tossing their hats in the ring.

The competition was held at Hillsborough Dog Showground last Friday. It moved there three years ago, after the competition outgrew Newcastle Showground.

Visiting the dog competition was the first official duty of the Event Cinemas 2017 Newcastle Showgirl, 22-year-old Elyse Hudson, of Charlestown.

There were also healthy numbers in the goat competition, with entries in the dairy and Boer goat sections as good as the competition’s best years.

Competitors hailed from as far as Mudgee and Lismore – some in preparation for the Sydney Royal

Easter Show.

The animal nursery was one of the show’s star attractions, alongside Rooftop Express and Isuzu Team D-MAX in the centre ring.

Overall, patronage was down on Friday and Saturday due to wet weather, but more people turned out to the show on Sunday.

About 20,000 people walked through the showground gates during the three-day event from 3 to 5 March.

As one of the conditions of the $40,000 state government grant that the show society received to run the event this year, the society will now work with the government to conduct a management review of the event.

This will include restoring an alternative income stream to futureproof the event.

Discussions will start next week, with arrangements expected to be in

One of Elyse Hudson’s first duties as 2017 Newcastle Showgirl was petting dogs at the dog competition.

The fact that this year’s one-off grant allowed the show to break even, means there will be a show next year.

Harleys for Humanity members rally to support the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service.

Harley-lovers support chopper The Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service is $11,000 better off, thanks to a generous donation from a local group of Harley Davidson enthusiasts.

Harleys for Humanity, a fundraising initiative fuelled by local riders who believe in doing their bit for charity whilst having a good time, raised the money through its Turkey Run

On Tour event last November.

Riders started at Hexham; rode to Uralla for a pit-stop; and continued to Port Macquarie the next day.

Each night they held various raffles and silent auctions, all in aid of raising more money for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. The money raised will help keep the free service afloat.

Newcastle 500 prompts precinct renewal Thirty mature Norfolk Island pine trees and 150 shrubs along Newcastle Foreshore will be lopped, under council plans to renew the precinct ahead of the Newcastle 500 Supercars event in November.

The trees will be replaced with 236 new plantings – 130 of which will be at an advanced stage of growth – to provide more shade for pedestrians and cyclists on Wharf and Nobbys roads.

Fifty-five of those will be new Norfolk Island pines.

Newcastle Lord Mayor Nuatali Nelmes said the renewal works had been in the pipeline for some time, but the Supercars event provided the perfect opportunity to expedite the process at “significantly less expense to ratepayers”.

The renewal works are being partly funded by race partners.

In addition to planting new trees, Newcastle council will undertake landscaping work, including new lighting, pathways and seating.

The Bathers Way coastal walk is being extended from Nobbys along Pasha Way to the western side of the Pilot Station.

Improvements will also be made to Joy Cummings Promenade, including dedicating the existing footpath to pedestrians, and starting a new cycleway separated from traffic.

Works will start in April and finish in November.

Arthur Anderson on his recumbent trike.

Arthur’s ticket to ride Nothing could stop Arthur Anderson from cycling in Loop the Lake. Not even, as it turns out, a bike accident.

In July 2014, the now 65-yearold retired anaesthetist from Speers Point was cycling with a group of friends near Kurri, when he hit

some debris on the road and was thrown from his bike.

Arthur sustained a severe traumatic brain injury, and was unconscious for 10 days.

He then lived in a rehabilitation facility for four months.

Sadly, Arthur was no longer

able to ride a two-wheeled bike.

This was a massive blow to Arthur, who’d been a keen cyclist since he was a teenager, and an integral member of the Hunter Valley District Masters Club since he and his wife Cathie moved from country Victoria to Newcastle in 2011.

But he wasn’t going to let that stop him.

Arthur became a client of Headstart disability services and, in one of its newsletters, read about another client who’d taken up cycling on a recumbent trike after suffering a stroke.

Arthur bought a recumbent trike in June 2015, and hasn’t looked back since. He cycles on Fernleigh Track every week with a support worker, and participates in track sessions at Merewether’s Townson Oval with his mates.

This Sunday 12 March, Arthur will take on annual charity ride Loop the Lake for the second year as a recumbent rider.

All up, he has been participating every year for six years.

Last year he successfully completed the full, 90-kilometre circuit around Speers Point and Warners Bay, thanks to the support and encouragement of Jon Daniel – another cyclist who rides a recumbent bike by choice and occasionally accompanies Arthur on the Fernleigh Track.

The event, organised by the Rotary Club of Warners Bay, raises money for local charities and organisations – primarily John Hunter Children’s Hospital.

It features 90-kilometre, 55km and 13km courses, as well as a 7km family ride this year.

The event kicks off at Speers Point Park at 7am.

Registrations are open online at loopthelake.com.au up until midnight on Saturday, or on the day on Sunday ($70 for main ride, $40 for family ride – up to four people).

sport Newcastle’s Dane Gagai takes on Solomone Kata of the Warriors in their clash at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday. Photo: Anthony Au-Yeung/Getty Images

Knights off to a disappointing start Despite a tightly-contested second half, the Newcastle Knights opened their 2017-18 NRL campaign with a loss after going down 26-22 to the New Zealand Warriors at Mt Smart Stadium on Sunday.

To add further insult to injury, Newcastle fullback Dylan Phythian

had to be helped from the field in the 50th minute with a potential season-ending knee injury.

While Newcastle came out of the gate strongly, it was the Warriors who went on to dominate the first half, piling on 20 points in the last 15 minutes.

Pete Mata’utia found the first points for Newcastle’s, in the 10th minute, after a well-placed kick from Brock Lamb. Captain Trent Hodkinson converted to make it 6-0, then 8-0, just minutes later after a penalty was given, 10 metres out.

A fumble from Newcastle’s Jacob Saifiti saw the Warriors score their first points, courtesy of David Fusitu’a and, in the 32nd minute, they were in again after a tidy pass from captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck sent Solomone Kata into space.

The Warriors were in again soon after, thanks to a second try from Fusitu’a and, just seconds from half-time, he found his third to make it 20-8.

Fifty-four minutes in, a kick by Lamb set up six more before Jack

Stockwell barged through the pack to ground the ball for the four points.

With 18 minutes to go, an offload from Sione Mata’utia set up Nathan Ross for his first points of the season but Hodkinson couldn’t complete the conversion to level the match.

Soon after, a clever kick and pick up by Mitch Barnett did the trick before dishing off to Ross, who side-stepped two Warriors to claim his second, the Knights leading 22-20. But the Newcastle couldn’t contain the Warriors with Ryan Hoffman scoring just seven minutes from time.

The Knights will be looking for a better result when they face off against the Gold Coast Titans at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday 11 March.

Be free from pain.

If you suffer from chronic pain you may have experienced the physical symptoms such as dizziness, nausea or drowsiness, which result in emotional affects like depression, mood swings or irritability.

But perhaps most significantly, chronic pain can have negative outcomes for a person’s lifestyle through its impact on employment, relationships and independence.

With that in mind, Toronto Private Hospital has introduced the first inpatient Pain Management Program in the greater Hunter region. With a rehabilitation-centric approach, the program utilises a multidisciplinary team including physicians, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and psychologists to achieve the best outcomes for patients.

To access the Pain Management Program at Toronto Private Hospital, talk to your GP or call the Toronto Private Hospital Intake Officer on 1800 311 470.

Despite the fact that the 45th CMAA Golden Guitar awards were announced back in January, the dust hasn’t settled for Lyn Bowtell.

The Hunter-based singersongwriter took home a stunning three Guitars from Tamworth (taking her total to six) including two – Alt Country Album of the Year and Group or Duo of the Year – for her trio “supergroup” Bennett, Bowtell & Urquhart, and a third for Best Vocal Collaboration on the track FU Cancer with fellow stars Catherine Britt, Kasey Chambers, Josh Pyke, Wendy Matthews and Wes Carr.

cover story

“It’s just incredible,” Lyn told Newcastle Weekly.

“For the trio, the fact that we were nominated for five awards and the fact that we were asked to perform on the night was award enough, but then we went home with two and I picked up another – it’s still quite hard to believe, actually.”

Ever the trooper, Lyn’s Tamworth jaunt was nearly cut short after it was discovered she had a ruptured ovarian cyst. Remarkably, she soldiered on regardless, through the pre-award gigs and the night itself before being hospitalised.

“There’s a lot of rehab involved but I’m feeling much better.

"For me, music has always been a great escape so, in a way it was good for me to get up onstage so I could concentrate on something other than the pain. Also, in talking about this, I was shocked to discover how many women also went through something similar.

It’s great to see you’re not going through something alone.”

There’s no denying that the trio have been making some

pretty serious waves since releasing their debut self-titled album. Lyn said the music resonated so well because of an inherent truthfullness.

“It’s just good, honest music with influences from bluegrass to the blues,” she said. “We’ve managed to strike quite a great blend in the harmonies – something that doesn’t always happen when you get good singers together.”

Fort Scratchley comes alive

THE MERC TO ROCK CENTRAL One of Australia’s most enduring pop rock acts, Thirsty Merc, will be heading back to Newcastle, next month for a bit of an unplugged session.

With three critically acclaimed albums selling more than 200,000 copies; three ARIA nominations; and such crowd-pleasing hits as In the Summertime and 20 Good Reasons, Thirsty Merc have, well and truly, rocked their way into the fabric of the Australian musical landscape.

Known for their ability to experiment with their sound, Thirsty Merc took an independent approach to their latest album Shifting Gears, using crowd-funding platform PledgeMusic to fund production costs.

The financial goal set for the crowd-funding campaign was reached within 48 hours.

Shifting Gears incorporates an acoustic sound as well as Thirsty Merc’s classic elements of rock and roll storytelling, making an unplugged show at Central a perfect post album-tour gig for the band.

Catch Thirsty Merc at Central, Newcastle on Sunday 2 April.

Tickets are available now through oztix.com.au

Australian country music stalwart Adam Brand will be heading our way for two shows this weekend.

Adam will be returning to the region, hot on the heels of his latest album Get On Your Feet – a stellar slab that could very well be the most ambitious of his career.

Get On Your Feet was recorded between Nashville and Sydney and features a collection of songs destined to become radio favourites. Immediate highlights include the title track and first single Get On Your Feet (with the killer line ‘let’s party like the bomb just dropped’), When You Get Lonely, When She Walks By, Heaven Has A Soundtrack and Leave It On. One of country’s few contemporary icons, Adam has built a career that has seen him sell over half a million CDs and DVDs while earning three platinum and five gold albums. His catalogue includes such seminal albums as Last Man Standing, Adam Brand, Get Loud, Blame It On Eve and It’s Gonna Be OK. Catch Adam Brand at Belmont 16s on Friday 10 March and at Nelson Bay Diggers on Saturday 11 March.

CLUTTER BE GONE

Newcastle Weekly fashion and beauty editor Georgia Osland breaks down the process of decluttering your wardrobe and selling your old threads at markets for a bit of extra pocket money. irst things first: decluttering one’s wardrobe is highly cathartic – I rifled through mine not long after I had finally finished university so, for me, I felt like I was finally letting go of what was holding me back.

When my friend, Gabby Brand, approached me about holding a stall at The Fashion Circle markets in Maitland, I jumped at the opportunity.

Of course, I had no idea of the mammoth task that lie ahead, but still. I was excited.

We recruited one of our other gal pals, Rose Upton, and split the cost of the stall three ways.

We had a month to prepare.

The very process of culling your wardrobe can be tricky.

Ruthlessness is key.

If you haven’t seen it in months, or if you’re clinging to it in the hopes you might one day fit into it again, it’s time to let go.

A good trick (which I’ve yet to try) is facing all your coat hangers one way, and putting them back the other way as you use each garment.

At the end of the year, sell or

donate the clothes you didn’t wear.

Now, I’ll be honest with you; a lot of preparation goes into holding a market stall.

First, you have to sort your clothes, then you have to price them (keep it realistic) and box them, and I can’t even begin to stress how many coat hangers you’ll need (read: a lot).

Make sure you have a sturdy clothes rack, or two, and don’t forget a change tin for your float, as well as shopping bags.

In retrospect, I’d also recommend bringing a mirror and using brightly-coloured, laminated signs instead of individual price tags.

When market day came, I was raring to go.

The atmosphere was great and we had more customers than I was expecting. The funny thing was, we only made about $20 each after we broke even.

But it was a great day out, and I felt fantastic knowing my clothes had been recycled and given a new lease of life rather than being tossed into landfill.

Perhaps I’ll try my hand at selling my leftovers online.

TIPS:

NW0247-V3

• Keep prices realistic.

• Make sure prices are clearly visible. In hindsight, I’d recommend using a single, brightly-coloured laminated sign on each rack rather than individual price tags. They tend to fall off.

• Chat to your customers; I found they loved hearing about my garments’ past lives.

• If you have a lot of odds and ends, place those in brightly-coloured bins and reserve your clothing racks for more expensive items.

When Jemma’s new bedroom was revealed to her as a surprise one day after school, she was over the moon.

“It’s awesome,” Jemma said. “I can not get out of my bedroom.”

Since she was a toddler, Jemma has had difficulty sitting, standing and walking due to a rare form of scoliosis called hemivertebra, where an extra vertebra grows between the two lowest vertebrae in the lumbar spine, causing abnormal curvature.

Over the years, Jemma has travelled countless times between Newcastle and Sydney with her mum, Joanne, and stepmum, Kyleigh, for various surgeries, treatments and specialist appointments. Jemma’s last

Jemma Hancock in her new bedroom.

NEW BEDROOM BRINGS JOY Like most parents of teenagers, Joanne Hancock has difficulty coaxing her daughter, Jemma, out of her bedroom. But there’s a special reason why.

Fifteen-year-old Jemma, of Islington was, last month, granted her Starlight Wish for a bedroom makeover.

The Starlight Foundation, whose mission is to brighten the lives of seriously ill children and their families, decked out Jemma’s bedroom with a new bunk bed, linen and mattresses; wardrobe; desk; chest of drawers; and thoughtfully-curated knickknacks such as a Polaroid camera and

surgery was in March, 2016. At that point, her spine was at a 100-degree tilt.

In a last-ditch effort to correct

a metal halo to Jemma’s skull, held in place with six titanium pins. Over the course of seven days, weights up to 10 kilograms were gradually added to the halo to straighten out Jemma’s spine.

The halo was then removed and two rods attached to either side of Jemma’s spine during a second surgery.

The procedure improved Jemma’s spinal tilt by 50%.

But her recovery is far from over, as another procedure to remove a piece of her rib to accommodate her spinal curvature has left her unable to sleep lying down for the past eight months.

That is, until now.

The new mattresses Jemma was gifted have allowed her to sleep lying down once more.

PICK OF THE WEEK Shrek Forever After Saturday, GO!, 7.45pm, PG (2010) Longing for the days when he felt like a monster equally feared and loathed by villagers, Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is duped into signing a Faustian pact with the smooth-talking dealmaker, Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn).

The lovable beast suddenly finds himself in a twisted, alternate version of Far Far Away where ogres are hunted and Rumpelstiltskin is king. This fourth and final instalment is a deceptively deep meditation on the age-old question – is there more to life?

Friday

Michael Clayton

Black Hawk Down Tuesday, GO!, 9pm, MA15+ (2001) An exhausting display of pyrotechnics and palpable heroism is at the heart of this acclaimed military saga from Ridley Scott.

The factual story tells of the bloody events involving elite US soldiers who were trapped in a hellish stand-off in the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993. The very macho cast includes Ewan McGregor, Josh Hartnett (above), Tom Sizemore and local boy Eric Bana, who gets all the juicy lines. Directed and edited with blistering efficiency, it impresses most as an exercise in technical craftsmanship.

Friday, SBS, 8.40pm, MA15+ (2007) George Clooney (right) is the eponymous “fixer” for a New York law firm, who’s called upon by the firm’s lawyers to manipulate the wheels of justice in favour of high-profile clients. Clayton’s latest assignment – to rein in his emotionally unstable friend (Tom Wilkinson) – thrusts him into a crisis of conscience. If you like the litigation-themed fireworks of TV’s Damages, this will have you riveted. The directorial debut of Tony Gilroy features ripping dialogue and an intense build-up to the final reel.

Sydney Pollack and Tilda Swinton lend golden support, while Clooney and Wilkinson are sensational.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER JUN 22 - JUL 22

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

The Full Moon on the 13th indicates that although your mood is carefree, the same can’t be said for your family in general. However, no amount of encouragement from you will break this sombre mood, so minimise contact and allow people to resume equanimity on their own.

The Full Moon on the 13th indicates you may be feeling too sensitive for your own good. The slightest word that could be interpreted as criticism will cut you to the heart; this is especially true if a woman is the source. In short, you could be feeling somewhat vulnerable.

The 13 March Full Moon indicates if you suffer from backache (especially in the lower back) or are suffering symptoms that may relate to an allergy, you should get yourself to a doctor or a specialist.

The sooner you do, the sooner you can resolve the issue.

The 13 March Full Moon indicates that your own surroundings will hold little appeal as you’re affected by wanderlust, but for one reason or another you can’t get yourself organised to do anything about it.

If you aren’t careful, this restless nature will come over as rebellion.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

LEO JUL 23 – AUG 23

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

The Full Moon on 13 March indicates that a possible new love in your life may not be approved of by members of your family. The same goes for any business partnership that is set up. It's time to make a decision about where your loyalties actually lie.

The 13 March Full Moon indicates you might not feel like it, but you must look into your financial situation and work out a sensible budget. So get out those bank and credit card statements and be honest with yourself before you find your finances off the rails.

The Full Moon on the 13th brings unavoidable issues to the surface where your friendships are concerned. Either a friend may let you down through no fault of their own or some of your closest friends may have some serious issues that they need your advice on.

The 13 March Full Moon indicates you may find it hard to express your feelings to the one you love.

You might try to sort out some practical or financial difficulties between you and your loved ones, only to find they walk away and don’t want to listen.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 21

The Full Moon on the 13th falls directly in your own sign indicating that although you may have the promise of high achievement coming up, it’s important you don't overload your schedule or take on more than you can comfortably cope with. Beware the law of diminishing returns.

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20

The Full Moon on 13 March indicates that you are starting to realise you must do something to polish up your image at work.

Perhaps this is a time when you need to improve your wardrobe and to get your hair sorted out in order to look better.

The Full Moon on the 13th indicates that areas where you have been lax involving your finances require attention; perhaps your spendthrift tendencies need some corrective measures. This is a time to sort out your fiscal state for the greatest advantage.

The 13 March Full Moon suggests that family troubles with your nearest and dearest are rife; they will be questioning your taste in partners, both personal and professional once again. Now is the time to stand up for what you believe in, but be prepared to compromise.

This is the start of a new nine-year cycle for Eva; a time for her to exercise her initiative and creative powers and to focus on being unique in her own right! She must be independent and follow the counsel of her own inner voice. Music, painting, writing, in fact anything creative will go well and bring her much pleasure. However, there may be a number of unresolved family or friendship matters to resolve. Eva just needs to be true to herself.

SMALL SPACE SOLUTIONS In today’s society, many gardens are being reduced to paved courtyards and balconies.This is a result of lifestyle changes and home downsizing.

Many gardeners are disappointed when they swap the garden for a view; one of my sons did just that, quickly resorting to large pots and trees on his balconies, without a great deal of success.

It is important to consider the placement of container gardens, particularly in an elevated position where exposure to the elements – especially in coastal areas – make it impossible to grow soft plants such as ferns, which will burn.

Plants such as succulents, cactus and salt strains; New Zealand Christmas Bush and Indian Hawthornes should work if all else fails.

A great effect can be achieved by grouping different sized pots together rather than having a row of the same size.

Fruit and vegetables don’t just look amazing, they thrive in containers.

Make the focal point a citrus. Dwarf varieties have been introduced over the last few years, which are ideal for small gardens, but in my experience, given a large pot all citrus will grow and produce.

Regular watering and feeding is essential but never fertilise container-grown citrus with citrus food; it causes defoliation.

Using your valuable space for fruit, vegetables and herbs will be more rewarding than a non-productive green plant that still needs care.
