This week

From the editor Walking through the doors of John Hunter Children's Hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, I am reminded of the brief but hairy few days my family spent by my fi rst-born brother's bedside almost 13 years ago. Sure, the NICU has undergone a multi-million dollar upgrade since then, but I remember it as if it were yesterday.

Callum – the eldest of my four younger brothers – didn't take his fi rst breath until he was a few minutes old. He was born blue and lifeless, for reasons of which we never found out. The rest of us held our breaths until he took his fi rst, several agonisingly long moments later, when doctors resuscitated him. He was whisked away to the NICU, where he spent three days until he was cleared of brain damage.

Some families are not so lucky (and I use the term "lucky" lightly). We were lucky in the sense that we lived closeby, and Callum only spent a few days in intensive care.

Port Macquarie couple Rob and Samantha Hannon, whom we interviewed for this week's cover story, found themselves far from home when their son, Lochlan, born 11 weeks premature, wound up in the NICU, where he remains today. That's where Ronald McDonald House stepped in.

The Hannons share their journey on page 20.

news New truck boost for Lake Macquarie unit failure to replace an aging fleet of trucks has reportedly left many SES volunteers worried about their safety.

The NSW Opposition blasted the lack of funds allocated in this year’s state budget, claiming it was disrespectful to the SES after the organisation pleaded for upgraded equipment.

The Lake Macquarie unit was one of the last to pick up a new storm truck, worth $260,000, prior to the budget.

And, local volunteer Grahame Eastham said it would prove to be a vital addition.

“The old truck is about 15 years old and it’s not user-friendly compared to the new one – it’s like chalk and cheese really,” he said.

“Basically, it has all the same gear, but you had to climb in and out of the old truck a few times a day while carrying things.

“The big benefit [of the new truck] is the fact that you don’t get your feet off the ground – you’re not climbing up and down all the time.”

Despite the local unit’s boost, the SES Volunteers Association recently voiced its concerns over the funding cuts.

Acting Shadow Emergency Services Minister Michael Daley said the association had written a letter to highlight the government’s lack of support.

“Every day, the community turns to the SES for help, whether it’s a fire, flood or a road crash, expecting volunteers to put

themselves in harm’s way,” Mr Daley said.

“But, when the SES asks for help from the Premier [Gladys Berejiklian], they get nothing.”

Mr Eastham said the past couple of months had been quiet around the Lake Macquarie region, with the unit’s new truck yet to “go out in anger”.

But, he added they were always eager for more volunteers.

“You never know what it’s going

to be like,” he said.

“I’d encourage anyone to join the SES – if you’ve sat in an office all your life, you will get plenty of useful skills and you’re helping the community.”

You can catch a glimpse of the new truck at Cardiff Area Sustainable Neighbourhood Group’s 3R’s car boot sale at Cardiff Bowling Club on Sunday 13 August.

news Full interchange to ease traffic An extra $13 million will be spent on creating a second access point to John Hunter Hospital during the fifth and final stage of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass project, the state government has announced.

Stage five will see a full interchange built adjacent to the hospital, which will improve traffic flow across Newcastle’s western suburbs, whilst establishing an alternative entry to the hospital.

NSW Health has provided the $13 million, which builds on the $280 million the government has already spent on the project.

The extra funds will pay for road upgrades in and around the hospital campus, to connect the interchange to the hospital precinct.

The government had initially planned for a half interchange, with Roads and Maritime Services opting for a single, north-facing access after

traffic modelling showed 5,000 fewer motorists would use a south access.

However, Minister for Health and Medical Research, Brad Hazzard, thanked the hospital’s nursing and medical staff for emphasising to him, during his recent visit to the hospital, the importance of a full interchange.

Once completed, the 3.4-kilometre bypass will stretch from Lookout Road, New Lambton Heights, to Newcastle Road, Jesmond.

Funding unlocked for Lake infrastructure The federal government has committed $2.2 million to the Lake Macquarie Transport Interchange.

The extra funding will cover the Munibung Road extension – a 700-metre stretch of new road connecting Boolaroo and Cardiff.

The funding announcement comes as one more piece in the multimillion dollar puzzle that is the Lake Macquarie Transport Interchange.

The project is earmarked for completion in two stages: the first of which (roadworks to extend and

Lake Macquarie council is still working with Transport for NSW and the government to deliver stage two, which includes a railway station and the transport interchange itself.

Residents free to dispose of lead-laden soil Northern Lake Macquarie residents can dispose of lead-contaminated soil at Summerhill Waste Management Centre from Monday 14 August.

The NSW Environment Protection Authority (EPA) varied the facility’s environment protection license to allow residents within the Lead Abatement Strategy area surrounding the former Pasminco lead smelter at Boolaroo, to dispose of lead-contaminated soil there.

Lake Macquarie mayor Kay Fraser welcomed the announcement.

“Owners of lead-affected property in this area will no longer have to bear unreasonable costs and inconvenience to dispose of soil contaminated by past industrial practices,” she said.

news The world’s first free mobile laundry service for the homeless delivers more than just a fresh set of clothes – it also boosts confidence.

Orange Sky Laundry began as a crazy idea to equip a van with two washers and dryers.

Since its inception in Brisbane in 2014, the initiative quickly spread to a number of other cities throughout Australia, including Canberra, the Gold Coast, Melbourne, Perth and Adelaide.

Now, it has hit the Hunter.

After launching in Islington Park last week, there are plans for the service to reach areas outside of central Newcastle, such as Nelson Bay and Maitland, in the near future.

Local volunteer Liz Calvert said it would complement some of the food outreach programs in the region.

“I think it’s wonderful; there are lots of places where the homeless can go for a meal but nowhere really for them to do laundry,” she said.

“Some of them only have one or two sets of clothes and, when you wash your clothes, you feel better.

“One guy came along and got his clothes done because he had a job interview, and he ended up getting the job because he felt more confident.

“It’s not a big thing, but it’s a start.”

Ms Calvert said the service also gave homeless people a place to

Tireless work helps raise thousands for hospital Another year, another significant donation from the Calvary Mater Newcastle Auxiliary.

The dedicated group of 30 volunteers has this time managed to raise a staggering $315,229 for the hospital.

In order to achieve this, the auxiliary worked for more than 43,000 hours throughout 2016/17 and raised, on average, $8,855 per member.

A cheque was handed over to hospital staff during the group’s annual general meeting last week.

Equipment purchased on the hospital’s behalf last financial year included: treatment chairs, patient recliner chairs, blanket warmers, blood pressure machines, entertainment trolleys for adolescent and young adult

news Students’ film teaches an important lesson When five young students from Maitland were asked to make a short film for a global competition, they didn’t expect it to deliver such a valuable lesson.

St John the Baptist Primary School Year 6 students Callan Brattan, Thomas Behnke, Rohan Barnes, Anthony Pham and Banjo Smith entered a piece called Everyone is Different into the Focus On Ability Short Film Festival.

The talented filmmakers initially had their eyes solely on the prize, but quickly began to realise the profound impact of their work after it attracted a flood of positive comments online.

This year’s entrants were asked to focus on taking the ‘dis’ out of disability.

One of the students, Callan, who has a disability, takes a starring role as the film’s narrator.

He describes how his condition made him feel in the past, while also highlighting what he can accomplish in the future.

“I think that being a part of this movie has made me a bit more confident than I used to be,” he said.

“It just shines a light on what people can achieve if given a chance.”

The students spent months filming and editing the four-minute video.

And, their hard work has paid off.

After reaching the finals of the competition, they will now walk the red carpet at an awards night in Sydney next month. The school is vying for a Judges’ Choice award, as well as a People’s Choice.

Retirement village reforms set to roll out

She might be 104 years old, but Min Thomas’ passion for the Raymond Terrace Ladies Probus Club is as strong as ever.

A foundation member, Ms Thomas was treasurer for 18 years, while she also took on a number of other roles over the past three decades.

And, she fondly recalls her involvement with the club ahead of its 31st birthday celebrations tomorrow (Friday 11 August).

“It’s a lovely club; I think I was lucky to get in. I was probably a bit of a hooligan so I must have crept in,” she said with a cheeky grin.

“I’ve had some great moments with these ladies, and the club here has been wonderful, so I thank

Raymond Terrace Ladies Probus Club president Kath Dooker with members Min Thomas and Jill Sharkey.

them for having me.”

President Kath Dooker said she was delighted that Ms Thomas’ contribution to the club would be recognised at the luncheon.

“It’s really wonderful that we’ll have Min here with us on the day, and [Paterson MP] Meryl Swanson will also be coming to present her with some certificates,” Ms Dooker said.

“We’ve got a great committee and that makes such a difference – plus it’s the friendships that make [the club]

so special.”

Probus clubs are for retired, or semi-retired, business or professional people. The movement operates worldwide.

On a local level, the Raymond Terrace club meets on a monthly basis, while its offshoot craft group makes various items for the community every Friday afternoon.

For more information on the club, phone 4981 7339.

Retirement village residents in the Hunter will benefit from a new package of reforms recently announced by the state government.

The four-point plan includes: an inquiry to make sure residents are adequately protected; an overhaul of the Retirement Villages Regulation 2009; the introduction of an online calculator to help prospective residents and their families better understand the estimated costs of living; and NSW Fair Trading launching a compliance blitz targeting the state’s retirement villages.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, said the inquiry would safeguard the rights of residents in retirement villages across the region, while cracking down on those who take advantage of seniors.

cover story A home away from home Like many families welcomed into Ronald McDonald House, Rob and Samantha Hannon walked in carrying little more than the clothes on their backs.

The Port Macquarie couple never expected to find themselves in the Hunter Region for an extended stay, let alone welcome their baby boy, Lochlan, into the world at just under 29 weeks old.

It was a Sunday afternoon in Port Macquarie when Samantha’s waters broke.

In a panic, she called Rob, who dropped everything and rushed to meet Samantha at the hospital.

Doctors put Samantha on bedrest in an effort to prevent her from going into labour, and made arrangements to airlift her to John Hunter Hospital. But things quickly went pear-shaped.

Baby Lochlan’s vital signs started to drop, and he was sitting in the breech position, so doctors acted quickly to birth him via caesarean.

“Next minute he was coming down the hallway and Sam wasn’t,” Rob told Newcastle Weekly.

A few hours after Lochlan was stabilised, he and Rob were flown in the Westpac Rescue Helicopter to John Hunter Children’s Hospital, where Lochlan was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and has remained since he was born on 9 July.

A few days later, Samantha discharged herself from Port Macquarie Base Hospital, and drove, with her father-inlaw, to John Hunter Hospital, where she was admitted to the maternity ward.

Suddenly, the Hannons found themselves far from home; their lives and income put on hold.

With his wife and son in hospital, Rob was forced to rent short-term accommodation so he could be by their side, but he Rob and Samantha Hannon spend some precious time with their knew this was only a son, Lochlan, inside John Hunter Children’s Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. temporary solution.

Priceless pledge boosts charity Newcastle-based online holiday rental accommodation site, Travelling Frogs, is doing its bit to give back to the community.

The company has partnered with Ronald McDonald House Northern NSW to pledge several weekends away a year at one of its Newcastle properties.

It offers families with children undergoing hospital treatment the chance to stay – free of charge – within arm’s reach, for as long as they need.

Funding helps community be part of suicide prevention

The Newcastle Northstars knew they were in for a tough weekend before travelling to Victoria for a double-header clash with Australian Ice Hockey League leaders Melbourne Ice. And, that’s exactly what it turned out to be. With a depleted squad due to injuries, and only two imports – Steve Kuhn and Joe Harcharik – to call on, the Northstars struggled against the Ice. Despite strong openings and early leads, Newcastle lost to

We all have a part to play in eliminating suicide from our community. And we’ll all benefit from a new, community led, suicide prevention strategy with Lifeline Hunter Central Coast receiving additional funding from Hunter New England Central Coast Primary Health Network.

Melbourne on Saturday and Sunday.

The Northstars’ next clash is with the Melbourne Mustangs at Hunter Ice Skating Stadium on Sunday 13 August at 4pm.

Knights pick up second straight win

The strategy includes support and bereavement groups, speaker’s bureaus and suicide prevention training for community members. Our community manager Robyn Lawrence says the exact tools will be determined by each local community to meet their needs.

A serious injury to fullback Nathan Ross was the only downside to the Newcastle Knights’ second successive win at the weekend.

Ross suffered a fractured back after copping an accidental knee during the Knights’ 26-10 victory

A six-member Community Advisory Committee will work with Robyn on refining and evaluating the strategy. In each area, a local community action group will help identify needs and implement the strategy.

“I’m looking to work with local councils, health professionals, Police, community groups as well as those with a lived experience of suicide because these people have local knowledge,” Robyn says.

CEO for the PHN Richard Nankervis is looking forward to working with Lifeline to implement locally tailored programs to improve the community’s capacity to tackle suicide at the coal face.

Expressions of interest for the committee and local groups are now open.

Hunter Diabetes Centre advertising moment

The Hunter Diabetes Centre team is your team for a healthy life.

Education key to good diabetes management At Hunter Diabetes Centre, we are committed to and passionate about educating people with diabetes. Understanding your condition and knowing how to self-manage is key to living a healthy and full life. We give you the necessary tools and skills to help manage your blood glucose levels and avoid possible long-term complications.

Our credentialed diabetes educators work with you and your doctors to provide you with 360-degree care. We ensure your treatment is individualised and tailored to meet your overall health care needs.

Lifestyle A diabetes diagnosis will involve some adjustments. We are here to help you integrate diabetes care into your life, rather than letting diabetes change your lifestyle completely.

We offer both practical advice and emotional support, through one-on-one consultations, and group education sessions.

Group sessions Around one in 20 Hunter residents are diagnosed with diabetes, making it one of

the most common conditions in our region.

Hunter Diabetes Centre holds regular group education sessions so you can meet likeminded people and discuss your diabetes in a welcome environment. We offer easy to understand information to take the ‘unknown’ out of diabetes, and encourage those in your support network to join our sessions as well.

Medications We provide an individualistic approach to your treatment for diabetes. We take time to get to know you and take a holistic approach to ensure your needs are met. We are with you on your journey, helping you fi ne-tune your medications so your blood glucose levels are safely meeting targets.

Insulin pumps Many of our patients with Type 1 Diabetes prefer to use insulin pumps, as they: • Lower overall blood glucose levels • Provide better day-to-day glucose management • Reduce the chance of hypoglycaemic episodes • Offer more flexibility in lifestyle choices • Involve fewer injections

If you choose to start on an insulin pump, we ensure you are confident to use your new device independently before starting treatment. We also provide regular follow-ups, to ensure the transition is smooth and manageable.

Your team for a healthy life We start with the ‘whats’ and the ‘whys’ and progress to the ‘hows’ to live your best life with diabetes. If you’d like to better manage your diabetes, come and see one of our diabetes educators. Visits under a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) Care Plan are bulk-billed, and our appointment wait times are minimal. We are here to help you; we are your team for a healthy life.

Elisabeth Wenta is off to the United States of America next month.

Elisabeth Wenta is one step closer to her dream of becoming a professional dancer.

The fleet-footed teen from Weston has been accepted into the Washington School of Ballet’s pre-professional program and will move to the United States of America next month.

“It’s always been my dream to be in a ballet company,” Elisabeth told the Newcastle Weekly.

“I sent an audition DVD in January and they got back to me straight away and kept emailing me; it all happened very quickly.”

After striving to achieve her goal, Elisabeth hopes the nine-month stint in Washington will culminate in a traineeship with the company.

During her time overseas, she is set to take part in the school’s famed Christmas production of the Nutcracker – six years since first playing the lead role of Clara in the same ballet title for Lake

Macquarie Dance Centre.

But despite her excitement at the journey ahead, Elisabeth is keeping her feet firmly on the ground.

The 16-year-old continues to work tirelessly as a fulltime ballet dancer at the Premiere Elite Studios on the Central Coast under the guidance of Kahlia Mehmet and Sara Moore.

She said being on stage from an early age had boosted her development.

“It’s really built up my stage presence and helped me feel comfortable on stage,” she said.

Apart from the Nutcracker, Elisabeth has also played the lead of Aurora in Sleeping Beauty and

placed in the Sydney Eisteddfod every year since she was 10.

A particularly stellar effort at this year’s eisteddfod saw her take home the 17 years classical ballet, lyrical and jazz sections, as well as the 16 years and over classical ballet championship.

Her growing list of accolades and accomplishments include taking part in the Australian Ballet School’s interstate training program for four years; being picked as a top100 candidate internationally to compete in the Genee International Ballet competition; and winning a two-week scholarship to attend the Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance in London from the Alana Haines Australasian Awards.

The upcoming Australian Ceramics Open Studios weekend is a chance for ceramics enthusiasts to unearth their local potters and step inside their creative spaces.

Coordinated nationwide by not-for-profit organisation The Australian Ceramics Association, the event sees potters everywhere throw open their doors and invite the public to learn more about ceramics.

The weekend shines a spotlight on the diverse practice of clay artists, encouraging the community to visit working ceramics studios, participate in workshops and demonstrations, be inspired by artist talks, and buy original works direct from the maker.

Ninety-four artists across 80 locations throughout New South Wales are participating.

One such potter is Claire Locker-Potter (no pun intended), who lives in the seaside hamlet of Warners Bay. Her home studio is filled with pots lining the shelves at various stages of completion, and, although she doesn’t make as many as she used to, there’s still lots to marvel at, including colourful decorated teapots and

People all around the world are primed to practice the same movements, on the same day, for the same reason.

This Sunday 13 August is International Health Chi Gong Day. And, Newcastle will join in the global celebrations with a free, public class at Speers Point Park.

Master David Walker said the ancient practice of Chi Gong had many benefits.

“Everywhere around the world people will promote it and practice it [on the day] – I guess it’s kind of like Earth Hour or something like that,” he said.

“Chi Gong is a very old practice that started about 3,000 years ago in China.

“It’s a physical practice but also

“I’ve had a lot of people come to a class and say, ‘I really needed that, it’s been a big week’ – it really tends to calm people down.”

Master Walker added Chi Gong aimed to improve blood flow, ward off disease, and promote health and longevity.

The class will go from 10am to 11am on Sunday.

home Natives Some of our most attractive natives are flowering, adding colour to the last month of winter.

I believe they are smarter than most plants; they can feel the ground around their roots warming, so they don’t wait until spring to flower. For example, our beautiful wattles – they have been in bloom since July.

Geraldton Wax, originally from Western Australia, is a magnificent, small shrub covered in buds, which will flower over a long period.

JUDY SHARPE

However, it should be noted it will not survive too much rain; I had a beautiful plant that died overnight in the Sygna storm.

One of my favourite native plants are grevilleas, which provide colour from now to late spring.

Apart from attracting birds to our gardens, they are wonderful as a cut flower. Although they don’t last long, there is always ample blooms to cut.

Grevilleas will attract birds to your garden.

year about the tall red lily seen growing in abundance in native bushland. It is the Gymea Lily (Doryanthus excelsa), and, together with Kangaroo Paw, it makes a wonderful garden centrepiece.

There’s no plant quite as spectacular as our native Christmas Bush (Ceratopetalum gummiferum), which is in full bloom for Christmas. It can be a little difficult to grow, liking a light, sandy soil with the occasional application of blood and bone.

August 11 – 17

PICK OF THE WEEK Blue Jasmine Friday, SBS, 8.35pm, M (2013) Prolific filmmaker Woody Allen may have delivered one of his finest works to date with Blue Jasmine, a showcase for the amazing talents of Cate Blanchett. Cutting between her past and present life, we are presented with unhinged 40-something Jasmine (Blanchett), a former New York socialite, who after falling on hard times after the breakdown of her marriage to Hal (Alec Baldwin), goes to San Francisco to stay with her free-spirited sister Ginger (Sally Hawkins) and earn her own money.

Friday

Collateral

School Of Rock Saturday, GO!, 7pm, PG (2003) Jack Black’s inspired and energetic performance, a razor-sharp script from Mike White and the astute direction of Richard Linklater (Before Sunrise, A Scanner Darkly) ensures this is a winner. As a rock-obsessed slacker, Black drums up plenty of laughs as he assumes the identity of his teacher roommate and decides to shape a class of private school kids into rock gods. Funny without being gross, sweet without resorting to sentimentality, this will strike a chord with the whole family, and the AC/DC-led closing credits sequence is fantastic.

Monday, ONE, 8.30pm, M (2004) Collateral is a masterful study of deception and coincidence. Jamie Foxx is revelatory in his role as Los Angeles cab driver Max, who opens his door to the suave, sophisticated Vincent (Tom Cruise). A striking grey suit and direct manner suggest that Vincent is a corporate type in town on business – quite the contrary. Vincent is a hit man intent on sniffing out five key witnesses at the behest of a federally indicted drug baron. Max is forced to drive the steely Vincent from hit to hit, but as the two men pick and probe each other’s psyche, a broader impression of who they really are emerges.

His relationships are of upmost importance in the year ahead so Chris must take time to strengthen his current friendships and business associations. By being sensitive, his personal relationships will grow and become more stable. He needs to use discrimination in all his dealings and be careful of what he says to whom! This is a good year to work on projects in the background and figure out the details in order to be ready to launch something new in 2018.

Mercury turns Retrograde on the 14th and communication is key, as this will enhance all your relationships.

Although your mood is carefree, the same can't be said for your partner or family. It may be necessary to avoid contact with certain people until they resume an even keel.

Your financial affairs take an upturn owing to the Sun being in your money sector; the next month should see an improvement in your economic security. Mercury turns Retrograde on the 14th indicating some unexpected expenses or charges may arise so double check all bank statements.

With Mercury running Retrograde from 14 August it indicates you might have thought everything was going swimmingly; however it seems there’s a spanner in the works! A partner, a lover or a close working associate could completely mess things up for you.

Mercury turns Retrograde on the 14th and a difference with a friend or colleague could leave you fuming, as you seem to have met your match.

Once you dig your heels in, you’re virtually immovable but so is this individual. To win this argument, you’ll have to use imaginative tactics.

AQUARIUS: JAN 21 - FEB 19

Mercury is Retrograde in your area of friendships so you must be tactful to get what you want out of others. While you may be tempted to remind them of their duties or point out all the things they should have done but haven’t, this approach won't get you anywhere.

Fun outings and activities will offer exciting possibilities, but they'll also call for practical decisions. Mercury turns Retrograde on the 14th making it difficult to concentrate on routine matters. Make a list and focus on the most important tasks first, otherwise you’ll find yourself getting nowhere fast.

TAURUS: APR 21 - MAY 21 The next few weeks should be a fun time with the family. However, Mercury turns Retrograde on 14 August so expect the unexpected on the domestic front. If you have to deal with demanding children or puerile adults, use tact and diplomacy to defuse any awkward situations.

GEMINI: MAY 22 - JUN 21 There is no doubt that your mental powers are on top form, allowing your intelligence to shine. Mercury your ruling planet turns Retrograde on the 14th and you may feel slightly under the weather. Something unpleasant such as a cold or a visit to the dentist may be on the cards.

With Mars in Leo it’s time for action so if you need to get on the phone to make things happen do so, as you will achieve surprising results. Mercury turns Retrograde on the 14th causing confusion and your usually logical mind may feel fuzzy.

VIRGO: AUG 24 - SEP 23 With Mercury Retrograde in your sign from 14 August you may feel like trying to fix things, perhaps a broken piece of equipment or a relationship.

You might have it all sorted out in your head, but that doesn’t mean that things will work the way you want.

SAGITTARIUS: NOV 23 - DEC 21 Connections with those far away or interstate are going to be important.

Mercury turns Retrograde on the 14th so be careful when operating machinery, especially if used directly or indirectly for work purposes. It’s best to double check all electrical equipment that is portable before using it.

PISCES: FEB 20 - MAR 20 Mercury turns Retrograde on the 14th and problems to do with relationships may emerge. While some people consider you a little unapproachable, those who know you well recognise your bottomless capacity for sympathy. There is very little anyone can say or do that really shocks you.

Sam Poolman GIANTS NETBALLER

A proud Newcastle native, Sam Poolman has been making waves in the elite world of Suncorp Super Netball and played a starring role in the Giants’ run to the 2017 Grand Final. The only player from the Hunter Region currently playing at the highest level, Poolman was recently called into the Australian Diamonds camp as an invitee and gained selection for the Australian Fast5 team, which will contest the World Series in Melbourne this October.

Having returned to her home state when Netball NSW set up Giants Netball, she is passionate about promoting the game in the Hunter Region and seeing local girls achieve their potential in the sport.
