This week...

From the editor They say moving house is one of life’s most stressful events… Almost as stressful as divorce, according to UK research.

While I can't attest to the latter, I can definitely say, having just committed to a new rental property, that moving house is a major upheaval.

It is in these moments, during which my life is temporarily (I hope) filled with both physical and mental clutter, I am forced to look inward for guidance. Some of you may remember, in my second editor's column, some six months ago, I had started meditating in an effort to be more present. Well, admittedly, I have slacked off on the meditating front, but it did put me on the road to slow, intentional living. I've read books and listened to podcasts on the topic, but ultimately, slow living looks different for everybody.

For me, it’s about minimalism – clearing out the clutter, and having to spend less time cleaning my house as a result; spending fewer dollars with more thought; a less-packed schedule; eating well and looking after myself. I'm certainly no Marie Kondo (The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up), but I’d like to think all of this will help me on my housemoving journey.

If the notion of slow living fascinates you, as it does me, we're giving away Slow Your Home books by Brooke McAlary on page 40. You’ll thank me later.

Sisters Kiara and Merindah Brown at Cherry Road, Eleebana.

Rocky road in battle for bus pass

O

n one side of the road, there are power poles, a narrow strip, and no footpath.

And on the other side?

“You’d have to be a mountain goat to walk there; it’s physically impossible,” Jason Brown says.

The Eleebana resident has joined an increasing number of parents

who are seeking answers from the state government over what constitutes a safe walking route to school for young children.

Mr Brown says his son claimed a free bus pass more than three years ago as a result of the path being deemed too dangerous.

But, after then requesting the

same for his younger, eight-year-old daughter, Kiara, he was met with a different response, continually, for almost two years.

“It’s a fairly simple question: How can it be safe in 2016, and unsafe in 2013?” he asks.

“The only change [along the route] in that time has been more commercial businesses opening up.”

Under the government’s School Student Transport Scheme (SSTS), children between years 3 and 6 are eligible for free travel if the walking distance to school is 2.3 kilometres or further.

Students who live too close to the school may, instead, qualify for a discounted term-long bus pass.

Despite residing within the minimum distance, which ruled his children ineligible, Mr Brown lodged an appeal and won – the first time.

“Half the route is perfectly safe,

BEFORE

they [the government] are right,” he says.

“If the whole way was like that, I wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.

“But, once you get to Cherry Road [at Eleebana], that’s where the issue begins.”

Member for Charlestown, Jodie Harrison, has repeatedly called upon the government to respond to parents’ concerns. She accuses the state transport minister, Andrew Constance, of being arrogant.

“I find it deeply troubling that Sydney bureaucrats – with no local knowledge – are making these important decisions from behind their desks using Google Maps,” she says.

“I again challenge the minister to come to Charlestown and show me where and how it is safe for these children to walk to and from school.”

A wheely positive outcome Lake Macquarie Fair shopping centre’s multi-million-dollar redevelopment has been given the green light, and with it, a shopping trolley management system.

Charter Hall Retail will be handling the $58 million redevelopment of its Lake Macquarie Fair and Mount Hutton Plaza shopping centres.

A company spokesperson said this would include a trolley wheel lock around the perimeter of the shopping centre, to prevent trolleys from being taken outside the premises.

It’s welcome news for the Mount Hutton Windale Residents Action Group, which has been fighting to address the run-down state of nearby Scrubby Creek.

Newcastle Weekly first reported last year that the creek was choked with rubbish – most notably abandoned shopping trolleys – which had compounded existing drainage issues,

causing flooding in times of rain.

A trolley wheel lock system was flagged as a possible solution to keep trolleys out of Scrubby Creek, which has now come to fruition.

Charter Hall Retail’s spokesperson said, in addition to implementing the trolley management system, the company would continue to work with the residents’ action group to assist with community initiatives to clean up Scrubby Creek, such as the one the Lake Macquarie Fair team took part in last October.

Meanwhile, the shopping centre’s main redevelopment works are scheduled to start early next year.

Shoppers can expect a revamped Coles supermarket; additional specialty food and service options, including a dining precinct, improved parking and a new entry to the centre; as well as upgraded internal amenities.

Transport privatisation woes State Member for Newcastle, Tim Crakanthorp, has flagged concerns with the roll-out of Newcastle Buses’ privatisation.

He said private operator Keolis Downer had failed to hand out complete uniforms to employees and make direct superannuation and private healthcare payments, among other payroll issues.

Mr Crakanthorp said he had also received a complaint from a parent whose son was left stranded, twice, when the 816 bus, which takes her son from The Junction to St Pius X High School, failed to turn up.

“I was appalled before with Keolis Downer’s behaviour, but now they are leaving children on the side of the road, and this is a dangerous precedent to set,” he said.

Mr Crakanthorp called upon the state transport minister, Andrew Constance, to step in and rectify the situation.

Maitland mayor makes history It’s confirmed: Maitland has its first-ever female mayor in Labor’s Loretta Baker.

It was a tight tussle between Cr Baker and her Independent rival Philip Penfold, with the race being too close to call when polls closed at the local government elections on 9 September.

Cr Baker said it was a hard-fought campaign, and relished the victory, thanking the people of Maitland.

She said she looked forward to serving the city when she officially took up the mayoral post at the council’s next meeting on 26 September.

Pedal power defies barriers

The Travel With Purpose convoy takes the Triobikes for a spin around Honeysuckle. Photo: Shane Williams 5Spice

The world’s first Travel With Purpose tour pushed off from Newcastle last week in a bid to break down physical barriers.

The marathon ride from Newcastle to Melbourne is the first of its kind through the Cycling Without Age initiative.

Founded in Denmark, Cycling Without Age was born with a dream of creating a society where all ages have the opportunity to ride a bike; to enjoy a sense of freedom, to feel the wind in their hair and to continue to experience quality of life.

Eager to get on board, Newcastle aged community services provider, NovaCare, bought two customised, Danish-made ‘Triobikes’ and shipped them all the way to the Hunter Region.

Perched upon NovaCare’s two bikes, plus another three manned by a young Danish crew, the Travel With Purpose convoy departed from

Honeysuckle last Tuesday, armed with camping gear for the journey ahead and smiles on their faces.

NovaCare chief executive officer, Joseph McCarthy, explained why it brought the local service provider joy to implement the Cycling Without Age initiative to Newcastle. ‘’While many of our clients no longer have the physical ability to get back on a bike, Cycling Without Age takes them on board,’’ he said. ‘’They could be free-wheeling along the harbour foreshore or simply down memory lane, with unimpeded views as they sit up front. ‘‘It’s invigorating and fun, interacting with others and experiencing the city and nature close-up from the bicycle experience.”

Cycling Without Age Danish co-founder Dorthe Pedersen said it was gratifying that NovaCare saw the initiative’s potential.

Couple’s tough trek for cystic fibrosis Hospital petition

Sam Steer and Beth Peach-Robinson at Queens Wharf. Photo: Peter Stoop

10

An ambitious couple have decided to pull up their socks, quite literally, and embark on a 250-kilometre hike to support those with cystic fibrosis.

When Sam Steer and Beth Peach-Robinson moved to Australia from the United Kingdom just over a year ago, they met a family whose daughter was battling the condition.

“We have seen how day-today life can be so challenging for her and her family,” Ms PeachRobinson said.

“But the young girl, Mia, takes it all in her stride and loves life more than anyone I’ve ever met.

“So, cystic fibrosis, and supporting the families living with it, has become a cause very close to our hearts.”

After witnessing the difficulties Mia faced, the couple were inspired to take on the Great North Walk – a gruelling 12-day journey from Sydney to Queens Wharf

in Newcastle.

Their aim is to raise both awareness and a substantial amount of money for Cystic Fibrosis NSW. “We are very excited, and slightly petrified, to be embarking on this challenge,” Ms PeachRobinson said.

“I’m already looking forward to seeing all of our friends cheering us on as we cross the finish point at Queens Wharf.”

The duo have been training hard ahead of the hike, with local walks and gym sessions a regular part of their routine.

They are expected to cross the finish line in early October.

prompts debate

Members of the Maitland Community Alliance, medical staff, union delegates and concerned local residents have travelled to Sydney to hear parliament debate the Maitland Hospital petition.

More than 10,000 people signed the petition, which triggered last week’s debate.

In July, the state government abandoned its plans for a publicprivate partnership model for Maitland and announced its intention to seek a not-for-profit private operator to build and operate the new hospital.

Member for Maitland, Jenny Aitchison, said there had been unprecedented action from the local community, with residents attending rallies, public meetings, and signing petitions.

“I urge the Berejiklian government to listen to the community,” she said.

Live smart, live sustainably With sustainable living a priority for many, the upcoming annual Living Smart Festival is your one-stop shop to discover ways to reduce your carbon footprint.

A well-loved fixture on the Lake Macquarie events calendar, the Living Smart Festival includes workshops, demonstrations, displays and stalls. You can learn how to create delicious meals from sustainably-sourced produce with Paul West from River Cottage Australia; hear about backyard bee keeping, urban farming and food forests; unwind with yoga; or pick up a bargain at the Raid My Wardrobe pop-up event.

In a festival-first this year, revellers can take a stroll through a ‘tiny house’ display, and discover how to live comfortably with less.

Lake Macquarie council’s

manager sustainability Alice Howe, said, for many of us, sustainability starts at home, through simple initiatives like conserving power or growing our own produce.

“These are all fantastic things to do, but they are really just the tip of the iceberg when you consider all the steps we can take around the home to help protect the environment,” she said.

The Living Smart Festival takes place on Saturday 23 September from 8am to 2pm at Speers Point Park.

Maitland Community Men’s Shed members Jeff Dunn, Mick Boulton, Shane Jones and Paul Hedges at work. Photo: Peter Stoop

Men’s shed builds camaraderie For the past seven years, members have been able to drop in for morning tea, work on projects, and build friendships.

During that time, Maitland Community Men’s Shed has made significant contributions to the Hunter Region. Among the various donations are special seats, ramps

and fiddle boards for occupational therapists; tables and benches for local schools; and cubby houses for the East Maitland Lions Club’s Christmas raffles.

The organisation will now celebrate its ongoing efforts during Men’s Shed Week, which goes from Monday 25 September to Sunday

1 October.

Member Mick Boulton says the ability to socialise has been a major benefit.

“Men tend to talk to each other about their health problems while they’re working, whereas they wouldn’t normally talk to anyone,” he says.

“We form friendships and often meet outside the shed, plus we’ll chase up the welfare of other members if they aren’t around.”

Maitland Community Men’s Shed is holding an open week from 25 to 29 September.

The shed is located at Lot 442 Jubilee Street, East Maitland, and is open from 8.30am to 3pm, Monday to Friday.

Visit maitlandcms.org.au for more information.

Campaign calls for more police resources Cessnock council has urged the state government to ease growing pressure on police in the area by providing more support and resources.

Mayor Bob Pynsent said the need for an increased presence and improved stations was a priority.

“Cessnock, Kurri Kurri and surrounds are experiencing rapid growth, however, the resourcing of our local police force does not reflect this,” Cr Pynsent said.

“Our police do a wonderful job in protecting our community, but their resources are stretched thinly, making it difficult to operate to the best of their ability.”

Cessnock residents can sign an online petition at change.org/p/ nsw-government-cessnock-morepolice-on-the-beat

Sensory garden helps sufferers A new sensory garden will become an important feature at the Hunter’s only respite centre for people living with an acquired brain injury.

The I Am Here house at Elermore Vale provides a unique getaway for residents who have the condition, while offering a vital, occasional-care option for regular carers.

And, visitors will now be able to gain even more enjoyment and inspiration thanks to a $44,000 grant from the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation.

“Stimulating sensory experiences are vital to the wellbeing of people with an ABI, and our new sensory garden provides an interactive space featuring accessible pathways, raised garden beds and installations designed to

engage all of the senses,” I Am Here general manager, Ingrid Airlie, says.

“We’re grateful that Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation saw the value of the sensory garden to our clients.”

Gatsby party to support youth Journey back to the age of jazz at Maitland’s historic Mansfield House – and help two charities that work with disadvantaged youth.

Billed as one of the most exclusive and premier events of the year, An Evening of Gatsby is set to feature attire from the 1920s, plus fine wine, food, and frivolity.

And, all profits from the night will go to The Umbrella Foundation Australia and Centre for Hope.

The Umbrella Foundation Australia’s chairperson, Linda Harwood, says the event is simply “something new and exciting” for Maitland.

“It’s not just an evening of Gatsby – there’ll also be other surprises throughout the night,” she says.

“A lot of local business people have supported us by donating prizes, so it’s become a real

18

community event.”

Ms Harwood founded The Umbrella Foundation Australia after two near-death experiences in the Himalayas.

Just one day out of Everest Base Camp, she suffered her first cerebral oedema, or accumulation of fluid on the brain, and was evacuated back to Kathmandu, Nepal, via helicopter.

While there, she witnessed many young people starving on the street and learned more about the horrors of child trafficking.

Ms Harwood has since helped provide health, hygiene and educational programs, as well as shelter, for children in Nepal.

The Umbrella Foundation Australia’s sister charity, Centre for Hope, also assists disadvantaged youth, but focuses instead on those within the Hunter Region.

“We’re sharing funds with

Mr Huckleberry and Mr William, of Mansfield House, serve The Umbrella Foundation Australia’s chairperson Linda Harwood a glass of champagne. Photo: Peter Stoop

Centre for Hope because it’s vital for us that we not only support those overseas, but also help vulnerable kids within our own society,” Ms Harwood adds.

An Evening of Gatsby will take place on Saturday 7 October from

6.30pm to 11.30pm at Mansfield House (315 High Street, Maitland).

Ticket prices range from $150 to $180 and can be purchased via stickytickets.com/An Evening of Gatsby - Ben Murphy

Young gun shows how it’s done Charlotte Poynting is not your average girl.

When she was 11, she swapped hair ties and hairdos for hairpin bends. That was the year she was gifted her first go kart.

Now almost 19, the Warners Bay young gun is preparing for one of the biggest events Newcastle has seen, and certainly one of the biggest of Charlotte’s career – the Newcastle 500.

Staged as the Supercars Championship finale, the event is expected to draw thousands of spectators to the heart of Newcastle from 24 to 26 November. Among them, Charlotte’s friends and family, as she competes in one of the event’s support categories. ‘’I’m very excited and very nervous,’’ Charlotte tells Newcastle Weekly. ‘’With it being at home, I feel

like I’m going to have to put on a big show.’’

But there’s no doubting Charlotte’s ability, having graduated from go karts to full-throttle racing long ago.

She’s currently leading the Aussie Racing Cars women’s championship.

In the main championship (men included), she was sitting in seventh place, until a couple of crashes in Townsville in July and Sydney last month set her back to 13th place.

However, she has one more event on the Gold Coast next month before the Supercars finale to make up her standing.

While one could safely assume the most lucrative days of Charlotte’s career still lie ahead of her, she already has plenty to show for her efforts.

Last year she won race three in the Aussie Racing Cars finale at Hampton Downs, New Zealand, and

Warners Bay teen Charlotte Poynting at Stockton ahead of the Newcastle 500 event in November. Photo: Peter Stoop

became the first female in Australian history to do so in the process.

She also finished 10th in the round – the furthest any woman has reached.

The same year, Charlotte received the inaugural CAMS Trans-Tasman Woman’s Trophy, and was selected as part of a two-driver team to represent Australia in an auto gymkhana event in Taiwan.

Over the years, Charlotte has won many state and national awards, and continues to race in

go karts, rally sprint, hill climb, Motorkhana and Khanacross events on the side.

Her ultimate goals are to compete on the main Supercars circuit, and become the first female to win the Bathurst 1000. And, when she’s in the hot seat, Charlotte feels as though she might just get there. ‘’It really gets the adrenaline pumping; it’s like I’m flying but everything is moving in slow motion at the same time.’’

Draft strategy on public exhibition

Open and Transparent Governance Strategy Our vision for Newcastle in 2030 is that we will have strong local democracy with an actively engaged community and effective partnerships.

Open and collaborative leadership provides the foundation for excellent governance with a shared approach to delivering strategic outcomes. To help guide this style of leadership and ensure community confidence in decisions made by Newcastle City Council, we have developed a draft open and transparent governance strategy.

The draft strategy is an important tool to ensure we are addressing social, environmental, economic and civic issues in an inclusive and effective process and highlights four guiding principles of equity, participation, transparency and active citizenship.

For enquiries please call 4974 2000

As the temperature starts to rise, so, too, will RSPCA NSW’s feline intake.

The number of unwanted cats and kittens will increase by 400%, and fill shelters across the state – including RSPCA Hunter – with homeless litters.

This equates to up to 500 kittens each week.

To combat this, RSPCA NSW is conducting an appeal this month, to encourage owners to desex their cats, to prevent multiplying litters, and to have their cats microchipped.

Just three in every hundred cats are returned to their owners, because most – 80%, to be precise – are not microchipped or collared and have no means of being reunited with their family.

And, if you’re not already a cat owner, but would like to become

one, the RSPCA has plenty of fabulous felines awaiting their furr-ever homes.

Decades of service to “very special” school recognised Every school needs a Val Adams.

A dedicated member of Islington Public School’s P&C committee for the past 40 years, her hard work has now been recognised by the NSW Department of Education.

Mrs Adams picked up a welldeserved Public School Parent of the Year award – one of only eight handed out in the state – at a special ceremony in Sydney last week.

She has acted in the role of treasurer for much of her time with the school, while also serving in the canteen and taking part in countless fundraisers.

“I get as much from the school as I give back,” Mrs Adams says.

“It’s very, very special to me – but I’m just one of many.

“There are so many dedicated people there – the principal, exceptional school staff, and the P&C staff.”

having grown up and started working in emergency services, she remains a mainstay of the P&C committee.

Islington Public School principal, Matthew Bradley, describes her as an “essential thread in our school fabric”.

“We’ve been very fortunate to have been served by Val for the last 40 years,” he says.

“She is passionate and practical and works tirelessly for our students.

“Whilst Val is a quiet achiever, we are very proud of the recognition she is receiving, which is overdue and well-deserved.”

Apart from the parents, 35 students and 37 staff also received accolades at the ceremony.

THANKS FOR WALKING WITH US

Teen’s record-breaking feats Belmont High School’s Ashlyn Blackstock smashed two long-standing records while competing at the NSW CHS Sports Association Athletics Championships in Sydney.

Blackstock broke a discus record that had stood since 1994 and also shattered one in shot put, which was set back in 2003.

The 13-year-old hurled her discus 40.19 metres in the onekilogram event, easily besting the seemingly-unbeatable mark of 39.36 metres.

She then threw 14.27 metres in the three-kilogram shot put category to storm past the previous record of 13.75 metres.

Blackstock was up against some of the nation’s best young athletes during the championships, which took place at Homebush earlier this month.

A record number of almost 700 people walked with us this month to mark World Suicide Prevention Day. Thanks to Newcastle Coal Infrastructure Group and the Primary Health Network for helping to make the walk possible. And to the Newcastle Jets and everyone else who joined in.

The walk provides a moment of reflection for those bereaved by suicide. It is also about the community coming together to tackle suicide.

Take a minute to reach out to someone who is doing it tough. If you’re concerned someone is thinking about suicide, ask them directly. It shows you care and may save a life. Stay with them and get help from a doctor or by calling 13 11 14.

If you’re in crisis, there’s hope and other support. Book a counselling session with us.

Quakers to share influential war-time role The story of Quakers’ opposition to militarism, and their active role in the provision of relief to victims of conflict, will be brought to life during a WWI Centenary Exhibition at Adamstown Uniting Church.

The exhibition, which is set to launch today (Thursday 21 September), includes carefully curated photography, written information, video footage, and guides who can answer questions.

University of Newcastle PhD candidate, Elicia Taylor, will speak about her research regarding the First World War’s impact on

unmarried Australian women.

“Part of this research looks at pacifist women, such as those in the anti-conscription campaigns, and this focus has led me to women like Margaret Thorp – a prominent Quaker and outspoken anti-war activist,” Ms Taylor says.

“Margaret Thorp was a fascinating and inspiring woman who has not received the historical attention she deserves.

“I am incredibly excited to have the opportunity to share some of her history at the launch of the exhibition.”

The launch will go from 4pm to

Wright worked hard over the past two years to create 50 Japanese-style paintings, many of which were donated during an exhibition inside Central Bar, Newcastle last week.

And, he will keep raising funds until the end of the month in a bid to reach $50,000 so a Giraffe incubation crib can be purchased for the hospital.

“My project’s goal is to save 15 babies, and the awesome staff at the John Hunter Children’s Hospital helped me in terms of how I can do this,” Wright says.

“They do a great job there and, after discussions, explained to me that if I wanted to provide support in this manner, a new incubator would do this as its function is to help terminally-ill children. ‘‘I wanted to pay it forward and decided that I would complete a body of work and donate it to a cause that would help everybody.’’

It is predicted that more than 15 babies will be saved during the incubator’s functional life.

Wright says he’s appreciative of the community’s support throughout the project.

Residents have helped with framing requirements, venue assistance, and general goodwill.

Brooke McAlary is passionate about slow living.

She has experienced the transformative power of simplifying, paying attention and living a mindful, intentional life. As the host and creator of the award-winning Slow Home podcast, McAlary encourages thousands of people every day to live a simpler, slower life.

Now, she’s written a book about it, called Slow Your Home.

Part memoir, part practical companion, Slow Your Home provides insight into the benefits of slowing down. It will inspire you to look a little deeper, and encourage you to question whether keeping up with the pace, clutter and busyness of modern life is really that important.

You can hear McAlary’s message first-hand at her Newcastle book launch at the Hunter Design School on Wednesday 27 September at 6.30pm.

TABOO on DVD

Ireland’s most celebrated and elite dance company is returning to Australia for a 10-year anniversary tour.

The Rhythms of Ireland production has been received by more than two million people worldwide, amassing an unsurpassed reputation for its entertaining and spectacular performances.

Lead Irish dancer Tom Brosnan will be among the highlytalented cast.

After taking up dancing at the age of seven, Brosnan had already achieved second place in the World Irish Dancing Championships and won five world championships in team competition by the time he turned 12.

In his later years, he was offered the opportunity of a lifetime – to fly to Australia and join the cast of the Rhythms of Ireland for the 2009 tour.

Since then, Brosnan has toured

Set in 1814, TABOO follows James Keziah Delaney (Tom Hardy).

Believed to be long dead, he returns home to London from Africa to inherit what is left of his father's shipping empire.

However, his father's legacy is a poisoned chalice, with enemies lurking in every dark corner.

Encircled by conspiracy, murder, and betrayal, a dark family mystery unfolds in a combustible tale of love and treachery.

The eight-episode series, written by Tom Hardy with his father Chips, and produced by Ridley Scott, also stars Jonathan Pryce and Oona Chaplin.

TABOO is now available on Digital, DVD & Blu-Ray.

Lead Irish dancer Tom Brosnan (left) will join the Rhythms of Ireland cast on its Australian tour.

more than 30 countries with 10 different productions.

Brosnan and the rest of the cast will appear at the Cessnock Performing Arts Centre on Saturday 7 October and the Civic Theatre Newcastle on Sunday 8 October.

For bookings, phone 4990 7134 (Cessnock) or 4929 1977 (Civic).

Enter to WIN Two lucky Newcastle Weekly readers will each win two copies of TABOO on DVD, plus a block mounted A3 poster artwork.

Do You Have Depression?

Depression is one of the world’s most common and disabling medical illnesses. The World Health Organisation estimates that depression will be the leading cause of disease burden globally by 2030 (WHO, 2004).

rTMS is Now Available At Toronto Private Hospital we’ve introduced Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation also known as rTMS, a revolutionary therapy for treatment resistant depression. rTMS is a safe, non-invasive therapy with no systemic side effects, that has proven success where pharmaceutical treatment has failed. Over 80 international studies

of rTMS have found significant decline in conditions following rTMS therapy.

Toronto Private Hospital is the first to offer rTMS in the greater Hunter region.

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

Bathroom tips & trends

There are two distinct areas of the home that significantly impact a property’s overall appeal: the kitchen and the bathroom. We brought you kitchen trends last week, so, this week, we’ve compiled some tips and trends for the bathroom, courtesy of Highgrove Bathrooms.

Now in le t Newcas

Feature friendly

Make a statement (or maybe two)

Feature walls need not be reserved for the living room or bedroom. Be it wallpaper or tiles, geometric patterns are certainly ‘in’, especially hexagonal or chevron designs. Mixed materials such as natural stone or timber are a crowd favourite, and with good reason. We suggest a timber grain vanity or cabinet to draw the eye. The warmth from the wood will offset the cold look and feel of the bathroom tiling.

Why spend more than you need to? If your bathroom is in relatively good shape, then it may only need a few additions to elevate the overall look. Consider upgrading your accessories, shower head, tapware or mirror – these small additions will breathe new life into the space and won’t blow your budget into the stratosphere. To top it off, having lush new towels creates a luxurious hotel vibe so you’ll feel like you’re staying in a five-star hotel every night. (continued page 48)

Plants such as orchids, peace lilies and bamboo flourish in low light, high humidity and warm temperatures, making them perfect for the bathroom environment. Opt for a textured material or patterned pot to draw the attention of the eye.

Save space with open space While storage is absolutely essential for any bathroom, the installation of extra cabinets can become costly and clutter the room. Consider opting for open shelving or ladder-style shelving – this creates the illusion of more space and your wallet will thank you. For a more spacious feel, consider a frameless shower screen for a sleek, new-age look.

Could your kitchen do with a facelift...at less cost?

Fiddleleaf Figs are fickle, so tend to them well.

Well, supposedly spring is here, but still the drying westerlies persist. Water, water, water – particularly pots outside.

Let’s reflect on house plants; they too will need some TLC in the form of fertilising and perhaps repotting. It’s time to turn over the soil’s surface, remove brown or dead leaves, and add either a measure of new potting mix or peat moss to increase the surface level almost to the top of the pot.

Apply a slow-release fertiliser and start watering with a soluble plant food. Wipe over hard-leafed plants with white oil to remove any dust and to discourage pests such as scale.

What constitutes an indoor plant? This is a broad statement, but remember, basically all house plants were once garden varieties.

They weren’t labelled by nature as indoor plants; we experimented, introducing mainly shade-loving plants to the interior, therefore, whatever you can grow successfully in the conditions applicable to your home is the answer to their survival.

For example, the extremely popular ‘Fiddleleaf Fig’, Ficus lyrata, loves to be planted in the

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

garden, but becomes a huge tree.

Inside, the perfect spot is a welllit position, near a door or window where fresh air is available. They will drop their leaves rapidly if overwatered and positioned in a corner without light and air. A short spell on a sheltered patio will encourage new growth.

Most plants object to being shut in a corner without air circulating, that is with the exception of some varieties, including aspidestra, Madonna lily, Kentia palm and Parlour palm, all of which will survive in low-lit areas.

The majority of plants grown inside love to be given the best of both worlds – that is, inside and out. Having two plants of the same species is ideal; one that looks great inside, while the other is outside recovering on a covered patio. A spell of at least two weeks is required for this to work.

Seek advice at a nursery for those plants such as Zanzibar Gem, which really can’t be killed, and Ficus Burgandy, which is a very hardy plant with glossy burgundy-coloured leaves. The latter makes a great statement and is ideal for both inside and on patios.

This week • Check new buds on roses; the aphids love them. Spray with a contact spray.

• It’s dry out. Mulch with sugar cane.

• If you’ve sprayed your lawn for weeds, wait two weeks for die back and then fertilise, remembering to water well.

PICK OF THE WEEK Limitless

Sicario Sunday, GO!, 9.30pm, MA15+ (2015) Sicario is an insightful film about the so-called “War on Drugs” and examines the drug trade with forensic intensity.

Emily Blunt (pictured) heads a great cast as Kate Macer, an idealistic FBI agent who is recruited by mysterious figure Matt Graver (Josh Brolin) to lead an off-thebooks operation in Mexico. The target is an as-yet unknown cartel boss. Kate’s journey into Mexico is startling – every moment she’s confronted by grisly evidence of drug-fuelled violence and death.

Saturday, GO!, 8.55pm, M (2011) Bradley Cooper (pictured) stars as struggling writer Eddie, whose life changes when he discovers a top-secret drug that gives him superhuman abilities to recall everything he sees or hears. With his newfound skills opening up new doors, Eddie ditches his writing and takes on Wall Street. His skills attract the attention of Carl Van Loon (Robert De Niro), who invites Eddie to help broker the biggest merger in corporate history. But as the saying goes, what goes up must come down.

ARIES MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER JUNE 22 - JULY 22

LIBRA SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN DEC 22 - JAN 20

The New Moon falls directly in your own sign on the 25th bringing with it an opportunity to have fun and find romance. Those of you with children will find them extremely lively. If you need to talk with them about their behaviour, now is the ideal time.

The New Moon on the 25th indicates that you have the ability to impress others and you will earn the respect of those who matter. Legal or official matters may be difficult to handle; try to avoid tackling them until you totally understand what you are dealing with.

The 25 September New Moon indicates it is an ideal time to make changes at home and with the family.

If you are already in a relationship you will be rediscovering each other, perhaps due to a special anniversary or old memories that are being reawakened.

TAURUS APR 21 - MAY 21

LEO JULY 23 – AUGUST 23

The New Moon on the 25th energises all your relationships and the pleasure seeking side of life. It is a happy and productive time for the sportsperson or artist and those who deal with children.

People you meet socially will be interesting and offer inspiring insights.

The New Moon on the 25th is the ideal time to trust your instincts and intuitions. One aspect of your past simply has to go – perhaps revamp your image or buy some new clothes. Friends may be making plans for a celebration and an invitation is on its way.

The New Moon on the 25th is a good time to think long and hard about career moves. Try to put recent changes and new opportunities into their proper perspective. New friends you meet will make you think deeply, especially concerning issues of financial security and control of money.

SCORPIO OCT 24 - NOV 22

The New Moon on the 25th indicates that this is an ideal time to purchase a new car, mobile phone or computer.

Also, others will be impressed by your ingenuity and the amount of work you manage to accomplish. Don't forget to allow time for fun and relaxation.

GEMINI MAY 22 - JUN 21

VIRGO AUG 24 - SEP 23

SAGITTARIUS NOV 23 - DEC 21

The 25 September New Moon is the ideal time to get together with friends. You will be surrounded by friendly, chatty people which will be a delightful experience.

Life will be quite entertaining with plenty of social activities to look forward to.

The New Moon on 25 September indicates that cash opportunities could help you to reorganise your life in a more constructive way. Your values may go through a fundamental shift.

Think carefully about responsibilities as well as what you want and need.

Control a tendency to overspend!

On a positive note, the influence of the planets can’t help but to encourage greater confidence, optimism and to focus on enjoying yourself. The New Moon on the 25th is the ideal time to plan a trip overseas or to make contact with those far away.

Your sense of humour will easily attract the attention of others when you are out and about, some of whom will be keen to get to know you better. Get grievances off your chest and make sure to listen to what other people have to say!

AQUARIUS JAN 21 - FEB 19

PISCES FEB 20 - MAR 20 The New Moon on the 25th is a good time for sorting out a professional budget, searching for work and pushing ahead with your professional ambitions. It is crucial you don’t become resentful, but try to be practical and far sighted when it comes to your long-term financial security.

TRAVEL I enjoy travelling and the opportunity to learn from the experience. I travelled to Bangkok to attend the Rotary convention and enjoyed experiencing the different culture and being able to see and touch the tigers who are cared for by the monks.

Certainly an experience!

My favourite things SKIING Living in Cooma, I had the opportunity to learn to ski – at Kiandra, wooden skis and lace-up boots! I continued skiing for some 40 years, but work and other commitments prevented serious skiing as the years went by.

However, whenever I was able to get away, I enjoyed the thrill and freedom of downhill skiing and, of course, the apres ski activities.

NEIL CARROLL ROTARY PARK The pleasure I derive from Rotary and being able to give something back to the community through Rotary is very rewarding.

A highlight of my year as the president of the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay was the work that the club did in rejuvenating Neil Carroll Rotary Park.

Helen Ryan ROTARY DISTRICT 9670 GOVERNOR

Helen was born in Sydney and spent her early childhood in Brewarrina, where she lived for some years.

Her family moved to Cooma in the early days of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, and she enjoyed skiing, hockey and softball.

Helen, her husband Mike and son Leigh moved to Port Stephens in 1991, where Helen has been involved in the local community; namely Nelson Bay Australia Day committee, the Tomaree Community College and, formerly, the Community Transport Group. In 1998 she was invited to join the Rotary Club of Nelson Bay, and has been an active member of the club ever since.

ROAD TRIPS Recently, I was appointed district governor of the local Rotary District 9670, which stretches from the coast to the far-west of NSW. Part of my role is to visit all the clubs in the district, and myself and Mike have enjoyed revisiting the western plains and far-west NSW.

READING One of Rotary’s focus areas is basic education and literacy, and the Rotary theme for this year is Rotary: Making a Difference. My love for reading extends to helping children who struggle. This is very rewarding and it is a joy to see the smile on their face when they are comfortable with their reading, and knowing that Rotary is making a difference to the child’s future.
