Newcastle Weekly contents

thursday 23 november 2017

This week...

From the editor A lot of heart and soul goes into producing your Newcastle Weekly each week. The magazine’s quality is owed in full to the sheer dedication of our team, for whom, this is not just a job, but a passion.

So, when we successfully execute an idea from conception to fruition, it’s a team victory.

Such is how I feel about this week’s edition. If you’re visiting for the inaugural Newcastle 500 Supercars championship round: welcome. If you’re a resident and a regular (or a first-time) reader, we hope to showcase steel city to you in a new light.

Over the past two years, in particular, Newcastle CBD has undergone rapid revitalisation. We touch on the civic works that have dramatically changed the cityscape on page 18. There’s a map to help you visualise this on page 19.

You’ll find public transport information on page 16; Supercars road closures on page 19; a yarn about Miniature Race Car Championship leader, Jase Collins, on page 20; as well as Supercars event program highlights on page 40.

If you’re looking for things to do outside of the Supercars event, don’t go past pages 39 and 42 for our top picks in Newcastle and Port Stephens.

Voices heard in mesh case Hundreds of Australian women have joined one of the largest product liability class actions in national history.

And, Belmont’s Cheryl Gavin believes there are plenty more who may not be aware of the complications associated with pelvic

mesh implants.

After hearing of the trial, led by Shine Lawyers, against American manufacturers Johnson & Johnson for faulty implants, Ms Gavin decided to look into her own device.

She queried the procedure from March 2014, completed a short

n o o

S g in

n e p

survey online, and then sent through an operative report.

“It was pretty shocking to find out that I was on the [faulty] list,” she says.

“There’s about half a dozen different mesh products on there, and I was one of them.”

Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon’s mesh implants are used to treat pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence caused by weakened or damaged pelvic floor tissue.

But many women in Australia, Europe and the USA have reportedly suffered complications, including erosion, recurrent prolapse, infection and organ perforation.

Ms Gavin, who has had four children, went to her doctor and demanded the implant be removed.

It was referred to a specialist in Melbourne, and she’s since gone on a waiting list.

“There have been no symptoms as

such [for me] but it’s just the whole process of finding out about it and the trauma of travelling to another state to have it removed,” she says.

The landmark Australian court case began in Sydney on 4 July.

A senate inquiry has delayed a final report on the issue until February. The report was due to be handed down on 30 November.

Ms Gavin says it’s important for women to check if they have been affected.

“There are women still out there who have possibly had the same surgery as me and are unaware of the side effects,” she says.

“I went into it thinking that it would help my situation but, in fact, it’s made it worse.”

For more information, visit shine.com.au and follow the links to Johnson & Johnson/Ethicon Class Action.

news Region backs marriage equality

Assisted dying bill defeated

The Hunter Region delivered an emphatic ‘yes’ response to the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ postal survey on marriage equality.

The survey results, released last week, showed 61.6% of Australians were in favour of changing the law to allow same-sex couples to wed.

The biggest percentage of ‘yes’ votes in the state, outside of the Sydney area, came from the

A Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill was defeated by a single vote – 20 to 19 – after a marathon debate in the state parliament’s Upper House last week.

The bill, introduced by Nationals MP Trevor Khan, would allow terminally-ill patients to end their own lives with the help of doctors. There were a number of safeguards in place in a bid to prevent abuse and coercion.

Christian Democrat Fred Nile and

Newcastle electorate, with 74.8% of respondents backing the law change.

The seat of Paterson, taking in Maitland and Port Stephens, saw 65.5% respond with a ‘yes’ vote.

In the New England division, which includes the Upper Hunter, 52.5% of voters said ‘yes’, while Lyne was 55.3%.

Almost eight out of 10 eligible Australians, or 79.5%, voted.

Liberal backbencher Taylor Martin were among those who opposed the bill, arguing legislation would be a dangerous move – comparable to reintroducing the death penalty.

Pockets of the Hunter have shown strong support for the bill. Surveys undertaken by local MPs revealed 89% of Wallsend residents, 87% of Port Stephens residents, and 84.5% of Maitland residents were in favour.

Smart City funding windfall

Shopping complex’s ‘pivotal moment’

Newcastle has been awarded $5 million in the first round of federal Smart City funding.

The grant will be used for a range of interconnected transport, energy and digital infrastructure.

It will support projects such as an electric vehicle hub, smart roads, bus stops and intersections, parking

Stockland Green Hills will reach a “pivotal moment” in the shopping complex’s $414 million redevelopment when it unveils a new food court later this month.

The food court will be encased by a glass façade, and boast more than 500 seats. With 12 new food retailers, customers will be spoiled for choice.

sensors, and renewable energy monitoring.

Newcastle MP Sharon Claydon, who wrote to the minister in support of the funding, welcomed the news.

“This grant cements Newcastle as one of the nation’s leading lights for innovation and digital transformation,” she said.

The new food court is just the first half of the broader food precinct for the development.

The stage opening on 30 November will also see Stockland unveil a new Target store, additional specialty retailers, a new children’s playground, and 490 new car parking spaces.

news Volunteer’s remarkable journey Carmel Kaczmar certainly didn’t have accolades in mind when she set up Miracle Assistance Dogs six years ago.

After growing up in Windale, domestic violence, as well as financial and emotional issues, eventually took a toll.

But, the East Maitland resident knows her well-deserved recognition at the Regional Achievement and Community Awards this month will shine more light on the valuable not-for-profit organisation.

“Mental health struck and I was [classed as] catatonic,” she says.

“I was made a ward of the state – I couldn’t walk properly, or hold a knife or spoon – and yet, here I am today, running an organisation since 2011.

“It doesn’t matter what you’ve gone through in your life, if you want to achieve something, you can.”

Miracle Assistance Dogs trains canines to help people who are suffering from a number of disabilities, including disease, mental incapacity, disrupted thinking patterns, and physical conditions.

Fudge, who has worked with animals her whole life, is an approved assistance dogs trainer under Queensland government legislation.

“They can go everywhere that

‘Fudge’, as she is affectionately known, scooped up the 1st Choice Rentals Volunteering Award and the People’s Choice gong during the presentation dinner in Sydney.

“I know the awards are for me, but I’d never have these if I didn’t have a great team behind me,” she says.

“I still can’t believe that we’ve gotten to the point where we’ve won something.”

It’s been quite a journey for Fudge.

“People tell us the change is just miraculous.”

The organisation hosts a dog school at the Ethnic Communities Council in Waratah on Saturdays

from 9am. But, it needs more trainers to help with some of the classes.

news United they stand Seventy-four people attended the Zonta Says No - White Ribbon Dinner Meeting at Brownsugar Warners Bay earlier this month.

Three speakers – domestic violence survivor, Sherynne Smith; Lake Macquarie Local Area Command Domestic Violence Unit Senior Constable, Alex Cant; and Zonta Club of Hunter Newcastle president, Jill Maclachlan – formed a panel to expand the community’s knowledge and understanding of domestic violence.

The Zonta Club of Hunter Newcastle has 43 members and supports disadvantaged women locally and internationally.

White Ribbon Day is this Saturday 25 November.

Jill Maclachlan, Alex Cant, and Sherynne Smith stand united against domestic violence.

Toy run roars into 40th year It’s a flagship event that has showcased the motorcycle community’s fierce and ongoing passion for supporting those less fortunate.

The Bikers for Kids Newcastle Toy Run is set to celebrate its 40th

anniversary on Sunday 3 December.

Thousands of riders are expected to roar into the new finish point at Wickham Park, which will come alive with donations of unwrapped toys, live music, market stalls, tug‘o’-war, children’s activities, official

merchandise, and a raffle prize draw.

The annual event is now the oldest of its kind in Australia and has contributed more than $250,000 worth of toys and donations to The Salvation Army Hunter Christmas Appeal since 1978.

Bikers for Kids chairman-elect, Daryn Young, says the festive season can be an extremely stressful time for some people.

“Knowing that we have the ability to help so many children throughout the Hunter who are in need is an absolute rush,” he says.

“My hope is to have kids open a present on Christmas Day and put a smile on their faces.”

The Salvation Army’s divisional social liaison officer, Major Christine Martin, congratulated Bikers for Kids on the event’s special milestone.

“We are immensely grateful for the generous support provided

by this iconic event and the many thousands of riders who take part,” she says.

“Through the donations of funds and toys, we are able to directly assist local families in their time of need, and we simply couldn’t do this without Bikers for Kids and community support.”

Despite its success, the event urgently needs further sponsorship from local and regional businesses before December.

“We donate 100% of our time to this and we need an influx of money to go to The Salvation Army so that they can serve everyone,” Mr Young adds.

The first bikes will arrive at Wickham Park around 10.30am, with celebrations to continue until 3pm.

Public transport boost for Supercars round Newcastle 500 event manager Kurt Sakzewski has urged Supercars racegoers to use public transport during the inaugural round.

More than 390 additional bus and train services have been scheduled for this weekend as organisers brace for 150,000 attendees over the three days, from 24 to 26 November. “Public transport is included for anyone with a valid event ticket, so we encourage Supercars fans to leave their car at home and avoid any delays,� Mr Sakzewski says.

Shuttle bus services will move fans from Newcastle Interchange to the Honeysuckle precinct.

From there, the main Gate 1 entrance is a one-kilometre walk along the waterfront on

Wharf Road.

The shuttle buses will run between 6am and 11pm, and are scheduled to meet each train to pick up passengers from Stewart Avenue, directly in front of Newcastle Interchange.

Return services to the interchange will depart from the Honeysuckle Drive bus precinct.

Event parking will also be available at McDonald Jones Stadium in Broadmeadow, where a shuttle bus service to Honeysuckle Drive will run every five to 10 minutes from 7am until 11.30am, and then about every 20 minutes throughout the rest of the day.

Services back to the stadium will run every five to 10 minutes, leaving from Honeysuckle Drive,

between Settlement Road and Worth Place.

The final services leave at 10pm on Friday; 11pm on Saturday; and 7pm on Sunday.

Additional park-and-ride facilities will also be located across Newcastle harbour at Stockton,

with racegoers to finish their journey by ferry.

Vehicle access for local residents and businesses within the circuit will be maintained from 7pm to 7am each day.

Pedestrian access is available the entire time.

Lakeside Clinic advertising moment

Lakeside Clinic at Warners Bay Private Hospital offers state-of-the-art mental health care services.

Leading mental health clinic expands Newcastle’s largest private mental health facility, Lakeside Clinic, is currently undergoing expansion, due to be unveiled in the new year.

Come January, the state-of-the-art clinic, based at Warners Bay Private Hospital, will offer 78 hotel-style rooms with ensuites; new clinical services, such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, for treatment-resistant depression; and more mental health day programs.

Additional psychiatrists will work at Lakeside Clinic, complementing the skilled psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses and allied health professionals who already provide patient care.

The upgrades are the first stage of a two-year development phase at Warners Bay Private Hospital.

The second stage will involve the addition of new surgical and rehabilitation beds, and a new day surgery area. This stage will be complete by late 2018.

“We’re looking forward to the new year when our expanded mental health services are up and running,” Business Development Manager, Mark Harrison, says.

“The components [of care] here have really grown, though it has still kept a community feel.”

Warners Bay Private Hospital, located within the Lake Macquarie area, offers inpatient services and outpatient mental health day programs.

Lakeside Clinic itself has an excellent reputation in the wider Newcastle community.

Its clinically-sound and innovative programs are based on the most up-to-date psychiatric research.

Its reputation is owed, in part, to the calibre of Ramsay Health Care, which owns and operates Warners Bay Private Hospital. Ramsay Health Care is the largest private hospital company in Australia.

The organisation’s slogan, “people caring for people”, was developed more than 25 years ago, and has become synonymous with the way Ramsay Health Care operates.

Admission to Lakeside Clinic is on a voluntary basis, with patients understanding and accepting the need to actively participate in their own recovery process.

A referral from your psychiatrist and/or GP is

needed for all inpatient and day programs.

Phone 1300 656 604 (Easy Admission Service) or 4941 3709 (Day Program Service) for more information.

Steel city reinvents itself

Light rail construction on Hunter Street, Newcastle.

There’s no denying Newcastle’s cityscape has changed dramatically over the past two years.

During that time, we’ve seen the state-of-theart Newcastle Courthouse and the University of Newcastle’s NeW Space campus open; the heavy rail line ripped up and the rail corridor renewed; the multi-modal Newcastle Interchange built at Wickham; and construction start on the city’s light rail network, tipped to open in 2019.

That’s before we even begin to consider the work that has gone into building the Newcastle 500 Supercars championship track, which has expedited a number of sorely-needed civic works already on the agenda, like the renewal of Newcastle’s oldest road – Watt Street.

Novocastrians have also witnessed the coast’s transformation, with Newcastle council working to upgrade Bathers Way. By the end of 2018, a new, world-class cruise ship terminal is expected to open in the Port of Newcastle, and the iconic Newcastle Cooperative Store on Hunter Street will have been flattened to make way for a bus interchange and high-rise development.

All of this, paired with rapid residential and

private development, is breathing new life into steel city.

But Newcastle has had help reinventing itself.

The state government’s Revitalising Newcastle program has been key in activating the city with the aim of attracting people, jobs and tourism.

In addition to the Newcastle Interchange, which opened in mid-October, Revitalising Newcastle is responsible for delivering a number of projects, including revitalised land; light rail; road and footpath upgrades; plus a new, integrated public transport provider, Newcastle Transport.

The government has invested more than $650 million in these projects.

Next on the agenda is Newcastle Station.

After 100 years as a heavy rail terminus, the station is set to enter a new era, with Hunter Development Corporation seeking a lessee to manage the station as it undergoes a makeover, which includes a piazza.

Its potential new uses include restaurants, cafés, retail and arts spaces, and entertainment.

Collins races towards championship Jase Collins has ridden his push bike around the Newcastle 500 circuit to get a feel of the twists and turns.

“It’s the bumps, manhole covers and just all the [other] little things that can be make-or-break moments on the track,” he says.

Collins currently leads the Miniature Race Car Championship ahead of the competition’s last round at Wakefield Park on 2 and 3 December.

But, for now, the Novocastrian’s focus is firmly on this weekend’s Aussie Racing Cars support category, which will kick off the Newcastle 500 Supercars round.

Collins says he’s excited to showcase his skills.

“I’m 68 points clear [in the championship] at the moment with one round to go,” he says.

“I just can’t wait for this

weekend; it’s going to be an awesome moment to have friends and family watching me in Newcastle.”

Collins’ passion for racing ignited when he tore around the local go-kart track at the age of 12.

He went on to win his first championship in 2013 and has been a model of consistency, finishing inside the top three ever since.

Collins says there are plenty of similarities between go-karts and miniature race cars.

“It’s a violent ride; things happen really fast, your reaction speed has got to be quick and you sit down very low,” he says.

While supporters will be used to seeing Collins race with number 71 emblazoned on his bright yellow-and-blue car, he’ll have a different number, and colour, for

Newcastle’s Jase Collins leads the Miniature Race Car Championship.

the Newcastle event.

“Someone already had that number, so I’ll have 171 and we’ve painted the car black and red,” he says.

Apart from Collins, Warners

Bay teenager Charlotte Poynting will also be competing in the support category.

Drivers will start practice laps at 8.40am on Friday 24 November.

Defending A-League champions Sydney FC handed the Newcastle Jets their first loss of the season in tough conditions at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night.

heavens opened up and both sides had to deal with bouts of torrential rain.

The slippery conditions played a part in the 59th minute as Jets goalkeeper Jack Duncan fumbled the ball, allowing Bobo to tap home.

Newcastle’s Dimi Petratos then made the most of the wet weather, with his long-range effort skidding off the surface to beat Sydney shot-stopper Andrew Redmayne.

The Jets pushed for an equaliser and, in the dying stages, youngster Joe Champness and Ben Kantarovski both missed chances to draw the visitors level.

The loss saw Sydney leapfrog Newcastle into first place on the ladder. The Jets’ focus now turns to Melbourne Victory at home. The clash kicks off tonight (Thursday 23 November) at 7.50pm.

The two friends behind it, Cheryl Clarke and Karla Casey, curate customised tours based on their clients’ wants and budgets.

“We work with the client around the purpose of the tour, create something specific for them, and then deliver it,” Cheryl says.

“There are so many diverse options in the Hunter, like camel riding, clay-pigeon shooting, and vineyard tours – we cover the entire region.”

The duo’s local knowledge and strong business relationships mean they can also include a range of wildlife, cultural, aquatic, and other familyfriendly activities.

The idea for the business was born when Cheryl and Karla decided to get out of the office environment and create memorable experiences for people.

And, they believe the Hunter is the perfect spot to do just that.

“We wanted to get out from behind a desk and show people how magical this place is,” Cheryl says.

“We’ve both travelled a lot and held senior positions, so we get it when it comes to service,

and we want to go that extra mile for people.”

Discover Newcastle also provides a drive-andpark service. There are door-to-door transfers to Newcastle Airport, as well as group transport for special events, including conferences, weddings, musical events, and social outings.

“We do operate outside business hours for airport transfers – and there aren’t many who do those early-morning runs,” Karla says.

“We also want to be affordable, and we’re pleased that, more than once, we’ve heard people say, ‘That’s cheaper than a taxi.’”

Cheryl and Karla are now ready to put together packages for weekend getaways, where accommodation and airport transports will be included.

The pair simply can’t get enough of what the region has to offer, and their passion shines through in the business’ motto: ‘We live it.

You’ll love it.’

The headland known as Fort Scratchley has long been associated with the history of Newcastle. It previously served as a lookout and important strategic position.

During World War II, it became the only coastal fortification to fire on an enemy naval vessel. The guns were decommissioned in 1962 and the fort closed a decade later. It was vacant until 1977, when Newcastle council entered into a lease agreement with the commonwealth over the site.

time out Port Stephens foodie trail

Home to pristine beaches and natural wonders, Port Stephens is loved by visitors and residents alike, not least of which for its foodie gems. Newcastle Weekly spent half a day on a flavour trail to bring you some of the highlights.

2 Tailor Made Fish Farms 1 King Street Confectionery Raymond Terrace This heritage-style confectionery shop is full of charm and character.

Jake and Ingrid sure know their stuff when it comes to coffee and sweets. Their chocolates are lovingly hand-tempered on the premises, using local ingredients – some, from customers’ backyards.

The lemon myrtle soft-centre chocolates are to die for, and their confectionery is sourced from Australian small businesses. Good quality brew, too.

Bobs Farm Nestled in the heart of Tailor Made Fish Farms, Cookabarra Restaurant and Function Centre serves up farm-fresh fish, grown on the premises. Visitors can tour the farm, exploring the barramundi nurseries and hydroponic tables, where fresh produce is grown using the barramundi waste water.

The farm produces a whopping 800 kilograms of fish a week, with melt-in-your-mouth dishes to boot.

Owners Nick and Maddison Arena are award-winning barramundi experts, and it shows.

proudly presented by newcastle permanent building society and cessnock city council

3 Pasta di Porto Anna Bay Here’s an Italian takeaway shop with authenticity. Domenica, Peter and family have won every award and trophy under the sun.

Most recently, Pasta di Porto was crowned Specialty Pasta Champion at the 2017 Sydney Royal Fine Food Show, and is the most decorated pasta maker in the country. We tried the award-winning ravioli with cauliflower, walnut and blue cheese sauce. Bellissimo.

4 Little Beach Boathouse Nelson Bay One chat with chef Ben Way and you can see how passionate the staff are at Little Beach Boathouse.

From sea to plate in less than 24 hours, this casual fine diner overlooking Little Beach serves up the freshest of fresh seafood – the majority caught only kilometres away. We were treated to juicy king prawns and tuna tartare with guacamole.

More than 2,000 votes were tallied in the inaugural Tip Jar song-writing competition, resulting in two ecstatic musicians when the winners were crowned last weekend.

Announced at The Cambridge Hotel, Ben Allsop took home the public vote with the song Here to Tell You, and Paris Grace earned the industry vote award with the song Longer This Time.

Grace’s award was decided by a panel of highprofile judges, while Allsop won the hearts and minds of the public.

Both Allsop and Grace won a prize package valued at more than $10,000, including recording time, media appearances, marketing collateral and professional photography, to bolster their music careers.

Championed by a number of local musicians, including Silverchair’s Chris Joannou and indie-folk artist Amy Vee, Tip Jar invited unsigned musicians from Newcastle and Lake Macquarie to enter unreleased songs written over the past 12 months.

In its inaugural year, the competition received 241 song submissions from more than 150 artists across numerous genres.

PICK OF THE WEEK Carol

Carlotta

Friday, SBS, 8.30pm, (2015) In this complex human story about unspoken desire and social expectations, based on an ahead-of-its time lesbian novel by Patricia Highsmith, two women from very different backgrounds are drawn together in a tale of unlikely romance. It’s the 1950s and Rooney Mara is Therese, a salesperson working in a department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett, pictured), a glamorous, older woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage.

Friday

Saturday, ABC, 10.10pm, M (2014) Jessica Marais (pictured) breaks well and truly free of her tame Packed to the Rafters role with a spectacular performance telling the true and inspiring story of transsexual performer Carol Byron, more famously known as Carlotta. Get ready to see Marais as you never have before, both as Carlotta’s former male self Richard and as the glamorous and sequin-encrusted, scantily clad cabaret performer with the big voice who took Kings Cross by storm in the swinging ’60s.

FAMILY LAW PROBLEM? Want freedom from ongoing conflict and best practice conflict resolution?

Consider Collaborative Law.

NW0849

We contract with you and your ‘ex’ and their solicitor not to go to Court.

Instead we engage in a process which involves a series of meetings. The meetings are aimed at achieving a negotiated outcome based on your needs. Your needs take priority.

We are committed to helping you to achieve an out of Court settlement without conflict, being a transition to a new phase of your life.

We offer fixed price to resolution at a fraction of the average cost to litigate a contentious matter.

STARS STARS WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

It can be hard for others to keep up with Sarah sometimes. She may need to show a little extra compassion to a new romantic prospect who’s moving at a slower pace.

In coming months, feelings will run deep over new developments and changes in work structure. They won’t all be negative, but the bad feelings will have to be dealt with first and foremost. Then Sarah can move on to more progressive thinking.

24 November 1990

ARIES: MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER: JUN 22 - JUL 22

LIBRA: SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN: DEC 22 - JAN 20

You may find that someone close to you is acting in a particularly awkward manner, or you may find that it is impossible to get through to them.

This is the ideal time to start a new health regime. Outdoor exercise will be beneficial for your mental health.

Mars in Libra indicates that you could suffer a bit of tension in or around the home; older family members may be making one set of demands upon you, while a partner may be making another. You cannot tear yourself in two, so somebody’s going to be disappointed.

Prosperity planet Jupiter transits through your money zone. Make sure you capitalise on the financial opportunities that come your way.

Your faith in yourself should be unshakeable; if not, ask yourself why and when you discover the answer, you will then be able to push ahead.

Saturn sextiles Venus which is awesome for love, money, career and business. Be inspired by well-balanced Libran Hugh Jackman; the secret to modern life is time management. It’s also time to make plans and set goals for the future. Don’t make them too safe and sensible. Go for gold!

LEO: JUL 23 - AUG 23

SCORPIO: OCT 24 - NOV 22

Venus is in a beautiful aspect with Jupiter and you’re likely to be travelling for reasons of pleasure and perhaps on the spur of the moment. Singles, a romantic flirtation may have a surprise outcome, but don’t let a small matter spoil the chances of this developing into something more.

With Venus in your sign, be passionately proactive as you capitalise on an energy boost, positive mood and good fortune it potentially provides. Smart Scorpios will seize the moment, day and year, as you grab opportunities when they come along.

Cash opportunities could help you to reorganise your life.

The planetary spotlight is on finances but not necessarily in a bad way; if you’ve been building your nest egg there could be additional opportunities to enhance your earning capacity.

Venus in Scorpio indicates you’re coming into an extremely social period; intellectual discussions will be as alluring as physical attraction.

VIRGO: AUG 24 - SEP 23

SAGITTARIUS: NOV 23 - DEC 21

With Venus in a beautiful aspect with Jupiter, it won’t pay you to be too independent, mainly due to the fact that others are lucky for you.

They can point you in the right direction, so that you’re in the right place at the right time.

Mars in Libra puts you in an innovative mood and changes in your domestic environment could surface. You’ll be making strides at work too, so decide what you want and then go for it. Your courage and enthusiasm will set the pace and impress other people.

TAURUS: APR 21 - MAY 21 Jupiter in your partnership zone helps you to view a troubled relationship from a philosophical perspective. As John Lennon said: “We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant, you’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.”

GEMINI: MAY 22 - JUN 21 With Mars in Libra, the bond between yourself and loved ones will strengthen. If you’re single, get out with friends who could make interesting introductions.

No reason at all why you can’t be out enjoying yourself; all the planets demand is that you keep a sense of proportion.

AQUARIUS: JAN 21 - FEB 19

PISCES: FEB 20 - MAR 20 Venus in Scorpio favours creativity and spirituality, but are your aspirations and ambitions enough? There’s no room for false modesty or procrastination. It’s a great time for talking, texting, posting, promoting, socialising and circulating.

If you’ve ever fancied studying a foreign language, is the ideal time.

LOVE Two weeks before my 16th birthday I met my future husband John on a blind date. We are about to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. I am more in love every day.

We have two beautiful daughters and four amazing grandchildren.

My favourite things SMILES AND HAPPY TAILS The very first time when a recipient meets the Miracle Assistance Dog that will change their life.

Whether it’s a child on the Autism Spectrum, a returned serviceman who can’t cope in a shopping centre because of PTSD, or a woman in a wheelchair with Cerebral Palsy, their smile is unforgettable.

STORYTELLING I’ve survived abuse, trauma and ill health.

I’ve met others with their own story. All are stories of agony, fear, determination, humour and inspiration. The stories are real, and real life and tragedy can still include humour, particularly when animals are involved. Words can destroy or inspire.

I prefer to inspire.

Carmel Kaczmar

TRAINING ANIMALS

MIRACLE ASSISTANCE DOGS FOUNDER

Carmel Kaczmar (aka Fudge) founded the not-for-profit charity Assistance Dogs NSW in 2011, which changed names in 2016 to Miracle Assistance Dogs (MAD).

Fudge sits on the board of directors and is registered with Guide, Hearing and Assistance Dogs (QLD) as an Approved Hearing Dog and Assistance Dog Trainer.

Fudge is driven, focused and determined to achieve her goals for MAD. Her role includes the constant search for support, funding and donations to help more people with disabilities who are seeking a Miracle Assistance Dog to provide independence in their lives. On Saturday mornings, she teaches people to train their own dogs to become Miracle Assistance Dogs. Fudge grew up in Windale, studied at Deakin University, and completed a Certificate IV in Companion Animal Services.

74

In my youth I watched my grandfather call horses to come up from the paddock. Each horse only responded to its own name. This sparked my curiosity and passion for training animals. I’ve trained pets, as well as goats, wallabies, fish, fowl and birds. The animals get excited when they succeed.

COOKING Cooking up a banquet for 20 to 30 people isn’t easy but it is fun. Focusing on ingredients, preparation and achieving a pleasing dish is my stress reliever. Pierogi, cabbage rolls, oyster kilpatrick, schnitzel, pepper steak in a creamy whiskey sauce and spare ribs in barbecue sauce are a few of my favourites.
