This week

From the editor Spring has sprung, and my, what a glorious feeling it is. Days are getting longer and the earth is slowly warming beneath our feet. We're aptly celebrating this week with a bright, bold cover. Gorgeous young Samantha Dorn models spring racing makeup as styled by local artist Dean Blaq, who shows us how to recreate the look at home on page 49.

There's lots to celebrate in spring, with upcoming events such as the Maitland Garden Ramble and Spring Awakening festival. It's uncanny, the marked difference between winter – when everyone seems to hibernate – and spring, when we all come out of the woodwork.

I myself am excited for longer daylight hours and making the most of those precious hours outside the 9-to-5.

Last week, I was delighted to attend a Lake Macquarie Business luncheon, and listen to an insightful panel discussion about the ways in which we can harness tourism in the region. The panelists agreed upon one thing: the Hunter Region's LGAs need to work together and leverage off one another in order to achieve the best, collective outcome.

We are all part of our city's visitor economy, from the cash we splash at our local shopping centres, to the cafés and restaurants we frequent. Food for thought.

Mark Hughes and Bill Peden training hard ahead of the journey up Mount Everest next month.

Former league stars’ mountainous task scrum of Newcastle Knights Old Boys’ have put their heads together to tackle a monumental challenge.

After the inspirational success of last year’s Kokoda trek for the Mark Hughes Foundation (MHF), key Knights players from the 1997 and 2001 grand finals are now ready to reach Everest Base Camp in support of their great mate.

The MHF Everest Challenge team will face a gruelling 14day journey this October in an effort to raise $500,000 for the foundation.

Former Knights lock Bill Peden is set to join the likes of Hughes, Paul Harragon, Matthew Johns, Danny Buderus, Matt Gidley, Kurt Gidley and Manly legend Steve Menzies.

Peden says he’s simply happy to lend a hand.

“We’re fortunate to be in a position where, if someone needs a bit of help, we are able to do something about it,” he says.

“There’s so little awareness and government funding for something [brain cancer] that affects so many people.

“It is pretty exciting that we’ll be able to go to Everest Base Camp and look at one of the wonders of the world.

“At the same time, it is a bit daunting but, if it was easy, then we couldn’t ask people to sponsor us.”

Hughes adds he is delighted with the local community’s support.

He says, while it will be a tough trek, both physically and mentally, it’s nothing compared to what brain cancer patients have to go through.

Ex-teammate and founder of The Man Shake, Adam

MacDougall, has donated $100,000 to kick off the challenge, while health insurance company NIB added $20,000.

The company will also film the entire adventure, enabling people to follow the journey.

“Of course, the support MHF receives from the Newcastle and Hunter communities is nothing short of amazing,” Hughes says.

“But, this year we couldn’t be prouder to have both NIB and The Man Shake as our major sponsors.”

The Mark Hughes Foundation has been formed to raise muchneeded funds for research, awareness, and to support brain cancer patients and their families.

Light rail project moves ahead The first light rail tracks are set to be laid on Hunter Street next week, signalling the start of major works as services edge closer.

After spending the past year laying the groundwork, construction will now get underway

on one of the main projects in the state government’s $660 million Revitalising Newcastle program.

The initial phase, which will occur between Auckland and Darby streets from Tuesday 12 September, includes relocating

essential services such as water, gas, electricity and telecommunications, civil construction work, and placing light rail track on the road.

Revitalising Newcastle program director, Michael Cassel, says “significant public transport improvements” are on their way.

He admits short-term inconvenience is unavoidable, but urges Novocastrians to focus on the bigger picture.

“By early 2019, locals will be reaping the benefits of frequent, reliable light rail services, connecting key activity precincts and breathing new life into the city centre,” he says.

“The new $200 million Newcastle Interchange will open at Wickham in October. “[It will] integrate seamlessly with the new bus interchange, which is proposing to be built on the site of the former Newcastle Cooperative

While traffic will be temporarily diverted around construction zones during the light rail build, Honeysuckle Drive, Wharf Road and King Street are available for road users to access the city centre.

Mr Cassel says a number of parking spaces on Hunter Street will be permanently removed once work begins. “[But] parking will remain available in nearby car parks located along Wright Lane, Centenary Road and Argyle Street,” he adds.

“Accessible parking will [also] be available on Auckland and Burwood streets.”

Work in this construction zone is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

news Council waives park hire fees

Garden ramble keeps on growing You will be able to wander through pristine grounds, witness rich history and raise funds for a worthy cause.

This year’s Maitland Garden Ramble will showcase eight new entries, which cover an area from Woodville to Lorn, across the weekend of 16 and 17 September.

It serves as the Maitland Black and White Committee’s second annual fundraiser for Vision Australia Newcastle.

Garden coordinator Helen Moyle says the ramble tends to have a big impact.

“We’ve been going for more than 30 years – it started with just three gardens and has grown every year,” she says.

“We generally get 3,000 to 4,000 people turning up to enjoy the gardens and gather ideas of their own.

Jan Ellison’s entry, which can be found on Belmore Road at Lorn, is among this year’s Maitland Garden Ramble. Photo: Peter Stoop

“They often look at them, get inspired and think, ‘I can do that.’”

Over the years, the hard-working committee has managed to raise more than $1 million for those who are visually-impaired.

Ms Moyle says it’s testament to the community’s tremendous generosity.

“We’re a group of only 20 ladies and we enjoy what we do –all of the money we raise stays here in the

Hunter,” she says.

“We have had great support from local businesses, and have a new major sponsor this year in Martin Building Services.”

You can buy tickets from various locations including Maitland Visitor Information Centre and Sharpe’s City Gardener. For more information, visit the committee’s website at maitlandbandw.com - Ben Murphy

Charities or not-for-profit groups will be able to host community events for free after Lake Macquarie City Council opted to waive their park hire fees.

In the past, these organisations often had to use a considerable portion of the council’s funding on park hire costs.

However, three existing programs – Donations and Financial Assistance, Sponsorship, and Community Funding – have been combined into a new Funding Assistance Policy, streamlining how organisations apply for funding.

“These groups will [now] be able to dedicate more of their funding towards hosting a successful community event,” the council’s customer support coordinator, Jasmyne Munro, says.

Applications for the mid-year funding round are now open.

news Council’s birds eye view

Calls for centre’s redevelopment Refugees, migrants, international students and Australian-born residents swarm to Jesmond Neighbourhood Centre each week.

They organise religious events, host birthday parties and conduct meetings.

But manager Bridget Noonan believes the high demand has put a strain on the building’s outdated facilities.

“Jesmond and surrounding suburbs, like Birmingham Gardens, are the main settlement area for refugees and migrants in Newcastle,” she says.

“There has been a lack of community facilities in these suburbs. This is one of the only centres in the settlement area, so there’s a lot of demand from a range of groups.

“This building was suitable 30 years ago but, over time, the community has grown, changed, and the demographics have shifted.”

After widespread calls for a redevelopment of the centre, Newcastle City Council is now looking into a possible partnership with the state government to complete the project.

Lake Macquarie council is increasingly turning to technology in an effort to maintain more than $2.7 billion worth of assets.

The council recently joined forces with Infinity RPA to send drones into the sky, which inspected its all-abilities playground, Green Point Reserve foreshore, and a fire break in Valentine.

Acting manager asset management, Brad Sutton, said technology could be an alternative for inspections to save physical labour and resources.

“In future, we hope to explore the use of drone technology for a whole range of other activities including bridge, tree inspections and after major works, as well as underwater drones to inspect wharves and jetties,” he said.

Ms Noonan says an upgrade can’t come soon enough.

Among her wish list is a child-care program, classrooms to run English lessons, a larger meeting room for training and workshops, a bigger hall, a youth space, and an upgrade of the playground.

“We’re in discussions with the state government for them to provide half of the funding, in recognition that it is a program that settles refugees,” she says.

“But the centre is for everyone – it benefits the whole community.”

news Charity partners to share funding spoils

Dog park dream one step closer to reality Lambton’s canines no doubt wagged their tails in collective approval.

More than 200 residents signed a petition urging Newcastle City Council to investigate the development of a fenced, off-leash dog area at Lambton Park.

Fast forward several months, and it looks like the dream might well become a reality.

After making funds available for this financial year, the council is now chasing an update from its negotiations with the park’s owners – NSW Crown Lands.

Local resident Mary Webster has led the charge for her four-legged companions, claiming the space between Lambton Bowling Club and Lambton Pool will be an ideal place for the project.

She hopes it can be built within the next 12 months.

“Dogs need to be able to run and, for the safety of kids and people who are afraid of dogs, this [fencedoff area] would be a solution,” she says.

Apart from exercise, Ms Webster believes the area will also offer a number of other benefits.

“There’s so much training you can do off-leash but,

16

as soon as you’re in the park, you could face a fine of up to $200,” she says.

“They need to be off-leash [to do the training].

“And, new dogs, rescue dogs and many greyhounds need to socialise, so I see this as a real positive for them.”

Newcastle City Council is also considering similar requests for off-leash facilities at Connolly Park in Carrington, Novocastrian Park in New Lambton, and Waratah Park in Waratah.

Greater Charitable Foundation has announced six charity partners will share in more than $1.1 million as part of the 2017 funding round.

The beneficiaries are Hunter Research Medical Institute, Tantrum Youth Arts, Clontarf Foundation, University of Newcastle, Cancer Council NSW, and CanTeen.

The Greater Charitable Foundation’s chief executive officer, Anne Long, said it supported charities working to improve people’s quality of life.

“Our support resonates with programs focused on research and prevention but also those tackling pervasive health and wellbeing issues through intervention and education,” Ms Long said.

“This year’s grant round has connected us with six charities that will stand alongside our existing partners to assist disadvantaged families as well as strengthen community capacity through increased connectedness and support,” she added. Since 2011, the foundation has allocated more than $7 million in funding.

Every woman, everywhere For the first time in history, the Zonta Club of Hunter Newcastle will host a statewide conference to inspire and empower women.

More than 120 delegates from District 24 of Zonta International Australia, plus special guests, will descend on Noah’s On The Beach from 15 to 17 September for the organisation’s biennial conference.

Zonta International is a leading group of professionals empowering women through service and advocacy.

On the ground, Zonta clubs identify the community’s needs and provide support accordingly.

This includes scholarships for high school students and young women in TAFE, breast cushions for women

recovering from breast surgery at local hospitals, and support for women seeking refuge from domestic violence.

District 24 governor Dr Janette Curtis said Zonta played a key role in encouraging and helping women of all ages to become leaders.

She said the Zonta Club of Hunter Newcastle had come a long way in the three years since it had been established, and praised its members and committee for their hard work in hosting this year’s conference.

Club president Jill Maclachlan echoed these sentiments, saying: “It is a privilege for our club to host this conference, especially as we are such a newly-formed organisation here in the Hunter”.

Visit trybooking.com/286648 to register for the conference. If you’re interested in joining the club, phone Helen Blackbourn on 0409 975 392.

Boat ramp rebuild given green light Lake Macquarie councillors have voted to rebuild the Pelican Boat Ramp at its current location, with a new design to guard against erosion and improve accessibility.

A recommendation to restore the ramp slightly inland from the existing site, and with protective rock groynes and a pontoon, was endorsed by the council at its latest meeting.

Mayor Kay Fraser said council staff had worked hard to develop a solution that would meet the community’s needs and suit the water conditions.

“I am pleased that the voice of residents and Pelican foreshore users has been heard and that boat users will have a new and improved ramp next year,” she said.

The ramp has been designed to last 25 years and will cost an estimated $1.2 million.

news University roadshow boosts students’ career opportunities The University of Newcastle has taken a roadshow on creative industry careers to regional schools and centres this week.

Project manager Kristi Street says the program introduces students to new technologies and internet accessibility.

“From drone camera operation to virtual reality applications and mobile film-making, there are careers that our young people can now pursue that did not exist as little as five years ago,” she says.

The Creative Industries Roadshow has organised information sessions and provided resources for teachers on how best to inform young people of the employment opportunities and pathways to a creative career.

There are also workshops in

animation, virtual reality and film-making to extend students’ thoughts and perceptions around creative career possibilities.

“This is a fantastic initiative, not only for regional high school students, but to give our local university students an opportunity to engage and teach others in the areas they are studying at university,” Ms Street adds.

The project is backed by a federally-funded HEPP (Higher Education Participation Program) grant.

The roadshow’s final stop will be at Gomeroi Gaaynggal Centre, Tamworth, on Friday 8 September.

It previously visited Chatham and Gunnedah high schools, as well as Merriwa Central School.

news New store opens up to help community

Grants aim to keep women in sport

Samaritans have opened a fourth retail store in Boolaroo as part of celebrations for National Op Shop Week.

The registered charity already had three existing locations in Hamilton, Mayfield and Wallsend.

And, chief executive officer Peter Gardiner said he was excited to open another store on the back of their success.

“Samaritans shops are a service that assist with raising funds for programs that attract little to no government funding,” he said.

“They also provide quality goods to people in need, with vouchers supplied by our emergency relief centres, as well as selling quality pre-loved clothes at affordable prices to the community.”

Mr Gardiner added a fourth store wouldn’t have been possible without the hard work of staff – most of whom are volunteers.

“This is because of the staff and volunteers, who have worked tirelessly to ensure that the shops run smoothly and deliver such an important service to those in need,” he said.

Lake Macquarie mayor Kay Fraser officially

Sports clubs in the Hunter Region are being invited to apply for grants up to $20,000.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, said it was focused on encouraging more talented girls and young women to join sporting programs.

“Around half of all Australian boys are active through a sports club during their childhood, compared with just 33 per cent of girls,” he said.

“I encourage all local clubs and sporting organisations to use this opportunity to boost their female programs and events, because we want to see girls not only take to the field, but stay on the field.”

Thousands of local clubs across the state are now eligible to apply for funding under the government’s Local Sport Grant Program.

Grants are open until Friday 6 October.

For more information, visit sport.nsw. gov.au/clubs/grants/localsport or phone 13 13 02.

Lake Macquarie mayor Kay Fraser (middle) officially opened the shop in front of staff, volunteers and community members.

opened the new shop, which is located at Unit 1/15 Main Road, Boolaroo. Samaritans stores rely on the generosity of the community for donations of preloved clothing, linen, bric-a-brac and more.

Donations can be dropped directly to any of the Samaritans shop locations, or to Samaritans head office at Warabrook during business hours.

As one of Australia’s largest regional welfare organisations, Samaritans deliver more than 100 programs and community services in the Hunter, Manning, and Central Coast regions.

Safeguard your pet against bites Summer’s coming, and so are the parasites.

With summer just three months away, it’s time for pet owners to brace for summer’s pests, parasites and all things that bite.

“Snake bites are a big concern during the warmer months,” RSPCA Hunter Senior Vet, Dr Sneha Mata, says.

“Snakes are more active during this time as they look for food and mates.

“They are more aggressive and have more toxic venom at the beginning of summer,” Dr Mata warns.

To help prevent snake bites, keep your animals on leads during walks, especially in bushland areas near water.

At home, keep lawns and grass height low and clean up any rubbish piles where snakes might hide.

If you think your pet has been bitten, keep them calm and quiet, and see a vet immediately.

Pets left untreated have a much lower chance of survival.

Ticks can also pack a deadly punch. To help prevent bites, make sure flea and tick treatments are up to date.

It’s also a good idea to check your animal’s coat every day for ticks.

“Ticks use native animals as a host,” Dr Mata says.

“So, you might have ticks about if you have possums or blue tongues living nearby.”

Signs of tick paralysis include weakness in the back legs, change in voice or coughing.

“Tick paralysis progresses fast and animals can die within hours.

It’s imperative to get your animal to the vet as quickly as possible,” Dr Mata adds.

For more information, phone your local RSPCA vet hospital: Rutherford 4939 1500 or Tighes Hill 4927 6822 or visit rspcansw.org.au

PREPAY YOUR MEMORIAL OR BURIAL

news Time is critical in stroke response Wallsend MP Sonia Hornery has urged people to think and act fast in the wake of worrying new stroke statistics.

Figures show that only 36 per cent of Australians who suffer a stroke manage to reach the hospital within a critical 4.5 hour window for a clot busting treatment called thrombolysis.

“When a stroke happens, almost 1.9 million brain cells die each minute, so time is critical,” Ms Hornery says.

“With the right treatment at the right time, many people are able to make a full recovery.” Ms Hornery’s warning comes amid National Stroke Week, which ends on Sunday 10 September.

Residents and small businesses in the Hunter Region could receive hundreds of dollars of savings on their energy bills.

The potential relief comes after the state government announced an energy package savings scheme this week.

Some of the reforms include penalties for retailers who don’t move rebate recipients to a better deal, discounts on equipment upgrades for small businesses, an end to unnecessary charges from retailers such as fees for paper bills, and energy saving upgrades for up to 16,500 public housing clients. Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, described it as the “nation’s most comprehensive package to address rising energy bills”.

Gold Medallist Kim Brennan will help celebrate Newcastle Rowing Club’s special milestone.

It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions for Newcastle Rowing Club over the past 25 years.

There was the hope that came with forming the club back in 1992, then plenty of pain after losing their shed in the destructive Pasha Bulker storm in 2007.

Two years later, despair turned to happiness as members relocated to a purpose-built boat shed in the heart of Carrington.

And, now, the club is set to celebrate its 25th anniversary this weekend with a special guest appearance from 2016 Rio Olympic Gold Medallist Kim Brennan.

She will speak to more than 120 of the club’s past and present members at Harbourview Function Centre.

Apart from Brennan, the club’s most successful rower, Hugh McLeod, is also set to share his experiences, adding a local touch to the event.

Newcastle Rowing Club president John McLeod says the night will be a wonderful chance to reflect on their history.

“So many people have put their heart and soul into this club over the [past] 25 years, and this will be a great opportunity to thank them and reflect on all the great memories we’ve had,” he says.

“To have Kim Brennan coming along as well is fantastic – it’s just incredible that she will come to our small club and make this event even more special.”

McLeod thanked the major event sponsor, Orica, as well as The Port of Newcastle, YN Energy, and National Australia Bank for their support over the years.

The special celebrations will take place on Saturday 9 September.

DO YOU KNOW A BRASS BLOKE?

Sharks down valiant Knights Newcastle’s NRL season ended in defeat and a third straight wooden spoon – but the Knights still managed to conjure up another spirited fightback in front of the club’s Old Boys.

It was all Cronulla early as the defending premiers posted three tries in the opening 20 minutes at McDonald Jones Stadium on Sunday.

The Knights hit back in the 31st minute, with Lachlan Fitzgibbon crashing over. Trailing 18-6 at the break, Newcastle struck first in the second period as Fitzgibbon grabbed his second.

But the Sharks were soon in a comfortable position again thanks to a penalty goal and a try to debutant Jesse Ramien.

On the hour mark, Newcastle fan favourite Nathan Ross broke

Ross was chased down, but the Knights eventually scored through Danny Levi.

Then, in the 78th minute, a brilliant flick back into play by Ken Sio almost stuck with Pete Mata’utia, but the bunker deemed it a no try. The Sharks went on to win 26-18.

Arcadia Vale author Paul Russell with a copy of Grandma Forgets.

A sweet, enduring story about Paul Russell’s own grandmother has turned out to be an inspiring message for the masses.

Grandma Forgets is the Arcadia Vale author’s latest title, and his first picture book.

Inspired by Russell’s grandmother, Gladys, who had dementia in later life, it’s an uplifting story about a family bound by love, no matter what else might be forgotten.

Grandma might be a little more forgetful than she used to be, but that’s okay – it just means her family has to make new memories for her.

The book, illustrated by Nicky Johnston, was released last month, ahead of Dementia Awareness Month in September – an Alzheimer’s Australia initiative.

Russell wrote Grandma Forgets in 2015, after he won the KBR Unpublished Picture Book Manuscript Award for Bedslug.

The publisher that received Russell’s manuscript

showed little interest in Bedslug, so, Russell approached another publisher that had given a previous award winner the green light.

They, too, weren’t interested in Bedslug – a story about what happened to a girl who refused to get out of bed, inspired by one of Russell’s daughters – but encouraged Russell to write another title.

And so, Grandma Forgets was born.

But it wasn’t without purpose; Russell had a goal in mind.

“My grandma had dementia, but I wanted to tell my children more than that,” Russell said.

“My parents allowed me to have a relationship with her, and dementia wasn’t this sad thing we couldn’t talk about. I think the book reflects that.

“I’ve never had a reading where someone hasn’t come up and told my they’ve been touched by it.”

While the Bedslug manuscript is “still floating around out there”, Russell has a few projects in the pipeline, including some adult novels.

Lyrically, he’s more reflective than on previous records – there’s a broader weighing of life’s ups and downs present on Killer. “[The album] is a little bit different – so that keeps me motivated and interested,” he says.

Dan Sultan is known for his infectious live performances.

And, you can witness it firsthand when he takes the stage at Newcastle university’s Bar on the Hill later this month.

“I haven’t been there before and we’ll have a big band, so it’ll be really interesting,” he says.

Sultan is one of Australia’s most recognised and prolific singer/ songwriters. He has a long list of award wins and nominations under his belt, and toured with the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Paul Kelly.

Now, he’s embarked on a nationwide tour to promote his fourth album, Killer.

It’s a sophisticated leap forward, with tracks like current single Hold It Together and the previouslyreleased Magnetic seeing him step out as the songwriter he has always

Seafood 79onBeaumont advertising moment

Seafood 79onBeaumont owner Liz Berger with chef Eddie Qi.

It’s a seafood restaurant, but not as you know it.

Tucked away on Hamilton’s Beaumont Street is Seafood 79onBeaumont, recently opened by Liz Berger.

The eat-in and takeaway restaurant evokes the calm, relaxed feeling of a day at the beach.

“What we’re going for is a comfortable, friendly atmosphere,” says Liz. “That’s who we are as people; we’re fairly laidback and relaxed.”

The restaurant boasts former Lobster House owner and world-renowned chef Eddie Qi. Chef Qi was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, and so he works at his own pace, training up-and-coming chefs as the future of the hospitality industry.

Seafood 79onBeaumont’s signature dishes include seafood wellington, tempura scallops, fresh snapper, king prawns, seafood pizza and steak and surf.

It doesn’t stop there; the restaurant offers a culturally-rounded dining experience with something on the menu for everyone, from Italian to Chinese and vegetarian dishes.

It’s economical, too, with most meals under $20.

But what you might not be able to surmise from the restaurant’s appearance or its delectable dishes, is that it operates as something of a social enterprise.

Liz uses some of the profits from the restaurant to fund her registered charity, Marli Accommodation Services.

The charity’s doctrine is to house, feed, educate and employ the Hunter Region’s homeless.

Already Liz has started a food bank and bought housing to accommodate both men and women in Maitland and Kurri Kurri, to help get them back on their feet.

The charity works in partnership with Hunter TAFE and Employment Plus to see that the region’s homeless are looked after in terms of

Place a 10cm round metal pastry cutter on a plate and spoon one-quarter of the avocado mixture into the bottom, pushing it down to create the first layer.

Then use a fork to remove the diced tuna from the dressing, allowing the excess dressing to drip back into the bowl, and place the tuna dice on top of the avocado layer. Top with another quarter of the avocado. Push down firmly then gently pull the pastry cutter away to reveal a round, three-tiered dish.

Repeat with the rest of the ingredients on a second plate.

time out Bumper schedule for festival’s anniversary More than 150 events have been revealed for the annual This is Not Art festival ahead of its 20th anniversary in Newcastle this month.

The 2017 program is set to feature extravagant singalongs, performances, blogging, poetry, gaming, cartooning, a spelling bee, dance, roving artist talks, witchcraft, drama, comedy, song writing, and more.

Producer Christina Robberds says the four-day festival will celebrate Newcastle as a first-rate creative city.

“The fact that we have a largescale experimental arts festival outside a major capital city helps encourage and facilitate increased engagement with the arts and helps build pathways for local artists and those working in the

creative industries,” Ms Robberds says.

“We’re celebrating our 20th anniversary this year and we really want people who haven’t been to the festival before to come along and be inspired – and we want Novocastrians to encourage their interstate family and friends to visit during the festival.”

The festival will take place across 20 venues, including The Lock-Up, Watt Space Gallery, Civic Park, Vinyl Café, The Royal Exchange, Alchemy Café, and TAFE NSW on Hunter Street.

It consists of the Crack Theatre Festival, the National Young Writers’ Festival, and Critical Animals creative research symposium.

This is Not Art 2017, which will go from 28 September to

‘A Rose Among Horns’ will be performed at Watt Space Gallery on the first day of the annual This is Not Art festival.

1 October, is supported by the state government through Create NSW, the City of Newcastle, the University of Newcastle, TAFE NSW, and Jennings Print.

Almost all of the festival is free, and you don’t need to book ahead of time.

the look How-to: Get the look for spring racing While fashions on the field are the pinnacle of spring racing soirees for many ladies (and gents), it’s equally as important to nail your makeup. Dean Blaq of Dean Blaq Makeup Art shows us how to recreate the look modelled by Samantha Dorn (pictured).

1 Foundation

Spend time on your base. Perfect skin will mean perfect makeup, even if you find eyes or lips challenging. Prep with moisturiser and even out skin tone with the right foundation for your skin type. Don’t worry too much about coverage with your foundation; use concealer for those areas that require more coverage. If you are using concealer around the eyes, keep foundation to a minimum around this area, as it will look too heavy with product build-up. Set entire face with a translucent loose powder. Press into skin and dust away with a large powder brush.

2 Contour Contour with matte powders in shades of darker taupes and warm bronze/caramel tones.

Warm hairline, under cheek bones and under jawline into neck. Highlight with either cream, powder, or both for a more intense glow. Do this along the cheek bones, above the peak of the brow, centre and tips of the nose, Cupid’s bow and collar bones. Blush just on the apples of the cheeks. Peach is perfect for most people.

3 Brows & Eyes cover story

Brush and fill in brows where needed, and set with a clear brow set. Buff a caramel tone over the eyes with a large, fluffy blending brush and then wrap the colour around the entire eye to create a soft stained/smokey effect. Deepen the bottom lash line with darker brown tones that are matte. Using a golden peach shimmer eye shadow, highlight from the inner corners. Load lashes (top and bottom) with heaps of mascara. Finish off with your favourite pair of lashes.

Note: Eyes shouldn’t take up your time; try and spend that time on your skin.

flip the page

4 Lips Lips should be matched with the same tones you have used on your cheeks. Peachy nudes work so great for this type of look. And, if you match you lip colour to your cheek colour, the entire look will be harmonious, and won’t look overdone.

Edgey Specs advertising moment

Edgey Specs’ stylish celebrations It started out as a small practice. But, 10 years on, Edgey Specs has grown in both size and stature.

Optometrist Andrew Stephensen, who bought the store on Main Road, thanked the community for its terrific support over the past decade.

“We’ve gone from a fairly small space when I bought it, to a more regular size,” he said.

“Our customers have really helped us a lot.

We’ve had so many loyal customers, not only in the Edgeworth and Cameron Park areas, but all over the Hunter.

“So, we’re very thankful for that, and we hope that we can continue to serve them for the next 10 years and beyond.”

Andrew said the Edgeworth store’s popularity meant more equipment had been bought and more eye tests were being conducted.

Free show set to inspire homeowners If you’re thinking of starting a project, or are in the middle of one and need advice on how to proceed, then this Saturday's HIA Building & Renovation Show is well worth a visit.

It brings together a sensational group of exhibitors to showcase the latest trends in renovation, building, home improvements and outdoor living.

Homeowners can plan their next project with this consultation service, bring plans and ideas, and seek professional renovation advice from the industry experts.

A family-friendly event, it is also set to provide plenty of children’s entertainment, including a jumping castle and a guest appearance by Big Dog. Housing Industry Association executive director, Craig Jennion, says there will be 54

something for everyone at the show.

“We are sure the show will attract many families,” he says.

“Particularly with the inclusion of the HIA Charitable Foundation Dog Kennel Challenge, a Silent Kennel Auction and People’s Choice Award.

“With the diversity of exhibitors and experts available, attendees will be able to compare products and services from an enormous range.

“And, it’ll all be under one roof.”

All attendees will have the opportunity to go into the draw for the major prize – a $15,000 bathroom renovation package courtesy of Suncoast Bathroom Renovations & Building on the day.

The show is taking place on Saturday 9 September at 17 Murray Dwyer Circuit, Mayfield West.

PICK OF THE WEEK Sweet Home Alabama Friday, PRIME7, 8.30pm, PG (2002) On the cusp of marrying into one of America’s most esteemed political families, a chic New York fashion designer (Reese Witherspoon, pictured) heads down south to revisit her hillbilly heritage and sort out the small matter of securing a divorce from her redneck high school sweetheart (Josh Lucas). Sadly, Witherspoon is given little scope to utilise the sort of overthe-top antics that made Legally Blonde such a classic, but Reese is always a delight and this vehicle definitely has its moments.

Friday

Kingsman: The Secret Service

The Martian Wednesday, WIN, 8.30pm, M (2015) After his shock cameo in Interstellar, Matt Damon (pictured) returns to space to play botanist Mark Watney, an astronaut who must survive alone on Mars after being left for dead by his crew during a fierce storm on the Red Planet. With only a meagre amount of supplies, the stranded spaceman must use his wits and spirit to find a way to survive on the hostile planet. Meanwhile, back on Earth, members of NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring him home. Another winner from Ridley Scott.

Sunday, WIN, 9pm, MA15+ (2014) Director Matthew Vaughn takes the reins for this big-budget British spyaction flick. Colin Firth (pictured) plays Harry Hart, a veteran secret agent tasked with showing young recruit Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton) the ropes.

But it wouldn’t be an action flick without a bad guy – enter Samuel L. Jackson as a twisted evil genius intent on wreaking havoc. Michael Caine, Mark Strong and Mark Hamill also appear in this very entertaining graphic novel adaptation.

ARIES: MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER: JUN 22 - JUL 22

LIBRA: SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN: DEC 22 - JAN 20

The Full Moon on 9 September indicates that you need to watch your Ps and Qs at work because colleagues, bosses or clients could be easily offended by the slightest criticism. This is a great time to be involved with creative work.

Energetic, intellectual conditions are looking good when it comes to the realisation of your dreams.

The Full Moon on the 9th indicates a need to be careful when dealing with paperwork or legal documents as complications are likely. Also, be extra mindful when driving to avoid accidents.

The Full Moon on the 9th indicates you need to be sure your imagination doesn’t run away with you, as it will be easy to think that others are out to cause trouble for you. Be careful of being your own worst enemy by over-reacting.

The 9 September Full Moon conjuncts Mars and life will be hotting up. It will seem so much is happening all at once and you’ll possibly be feeling in a state of shock or lacking in confidence. No matter what is happening you need your rest and relaxation.

TAURUS: APR 21 - MAY 21

SCORPIO: OCT 24 - NOV 22

The Full Moon on the 9th indicates that family troubles are likely to make you feel somewhat insecure.

Some decisive action is required so be brave and get on with it! If you are a parent, one child in particular will need some extra help or guidance.

LEO: JUL 23 – AUG 23 The Full Moon on the 9th warns of a power struggle on the home front and someone with an explosive temper may need careful handling.

Mind you, it’s possible that this may be you, in which case others had better just watch out.

The 9 September Full Moon indicates there may be some tension at home or with your friends; it appears unspoken words are making everyone unhappy. You will need to deal with this situation in a mature fashion and be prepared to discuss disagreements and differences of opinion.

GEMINI: MAY 22 - JUN 21

VIRGO: AUG 24 - SEP 23

SAGITTARIUS: NOV 23 - DEC 21

The 9 September Full Moon indicates you really need to be prepared to meet loved ones half way in order to have peace at home.

It’s likely that a fresh perspective is needed for you and your family to arrive at any kind of agreement about particular issues.

The Full Moon is in your sign on the 9th making you feel a little inadequate, but you can’t always be in top form. There are times when even you need a rest and this is an ideal time for doing just that. Focus on having fun.

The Full Moon on the 9th indicates that there could be some misunderstandings with colleagues or clients. However, don’t go out of your way to be difficult or apologies will become necessary later and with your fierce pride this isn’t easy for you.

AQUARIUS: JAN 21 - FEB 19 The Full Moon on the 9th indicates that you must let go of old resentments and difficulties from your past if you are to progress. You will have to find the middle ground at some point where relationships are concerned; be careful of being your own worst enemy.

PISCES: FEB 20 - MAR 20 The Full Moon on the 9th indicates that you need to avoid wanting to be the centre of attention. Avoid trying to drown everyone around you in detail when you are talking; others may have something to say as well.

Win double passes to Ali’s Wedding

To celebrate the release of Ali’s Wedding on 31 August, Newcastle Weekly has 10 double passes for you and a friend to enjoy at Event Cinemas.

Meet Ali, the charming son of a Muslim cleric who, despite the best of intentions, just can’t seem to make the right life choices. Ali dreams big – he wants to be with the girl he loves, but he’s been promised to another girl at his father’s mosque. He wants to be the great doctor that the community expects him to be, but he doesn’t get the marks. And, above all, he wants to make his father proud.

So, what will Ali do to live up to the impossible expectations? Fake it.

And it’s one bad decision after another, as Ali’s wayward quest to please his father spirals out of control, with cataclysmic consequences.

Enter to WIN To enter, email competitions@newcastleweekly.com.au with Ali’s Wedding in the subject line. Tell us your name, full contact details and the name of the film’s main character. Entries close and winners drawn at 9am on Friday 15 September. One entry per person. Permit No. LTPM-16-00488.

HUSBAND’S COOKINg While my speciality is making “something out of nothing”, my husband’s culinary expertise far surpasses mine. I am spoiled by Martin’s cooking which is created with passion and skill. Next year we celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary – I plan to take him out for a special dinner.

My favourite things HOT SHOWERS These are an absolute guilty pleasure. Hot showers allow me to wind down, relax tense muscles, and endure the cold winter months (not that they have been extreme this season).

I do a lot of productive thinking in the shower must be tuning in to those alpha brainwaves.

COFFEE I like my coffee hot and strong and limit myself to two cups a day, and always before noon. I will go without the experience if it means compromising on quality.

For every article I read on the detriments of this humble bean, I discover countering research on its many health benefits. I prefer to observe the latter.

yOgA AND MINDFULNESS After dabbling in yoga and mindfulness practices for many years, I made a commitment to incorporate them more into my lifestyle following a trip to India in 2014. I meditate, read inspirational books and material, and regularly practise at Newcastle’s only Iyengar yoga studio at Infuse Health, Adamstown.

MUSIC THEATRE I studied music and drama from a very young age – combined, you get a love for musical theatre. I have performed with a number of wonderful companies in Newcastle including Opera Hunter, Metropolitan Players and recently played the role of Mrs Lyons in Newcastle Theatre Company’s successful run of London’s West End hit show, ‘Blood Brothers’.
