From the editor Boy, didn't Newcastle turn it on for the inaugural Newcastle 500 Supercars championship finale. Our secret's out!

More than 192,000 spectators saw our fair city in all her glory, and I couldn't be prouder.

Watching on the tele at home, too timid to venture out into the crowds, I was in awe of Newcastle's beauty, as aerial shot after aerial shot showcased our beautiful heritage buildings and pristine beaches as drivers tore around the city's east end.

A bit of a fair-weather fan, I'll admit, my curiosity and enthusiasm stemmed mostly from the fact that my home town was on TV, but the nail-biting action quickly drew me in, and I was hooked.

Congratulations to Jamie Whincup, who clinched his seventh championship, but not without some down-to-thewire competition from Kiwi Scott McLaughlin, who tussled with James Moffat and Craig Lowndes for the titlewinning position further down the pack, but who ultimately lost due to a penalty.

See you again next year, Supercars.

This week we turn to Christmas entertaining. There's a delicious Chocolate Berry Layer Cake recipe, courtesy of The Healthy Mummy, on page 29; Christmas craft on page 36; and all the kitchenware you need to throw a successful festive soiree on page 37.

“The commissioner [Mick Fuller] stated that he was hoping to make an announcement in the next couple of weeks in terms of moving some positions from metro to regional areas,” assistant commissioner Mitchell tells Newcastle Weekly.

Police play waiting game Northern Region commander assistant commissioner Max Mitchell is hoping for a “positive announcement” over more police numbers in the coming weeks.

A long-awaited re-engineering program was revealed last Thursday, with a reduction in management, more officers on the ground and a shift in boundaries all part of NSW

police’s biggest regional shake-up in two decades.

While there’s been no commitment on a boost to police numbers so far, assistant commissioner Mitchell says he’s pushed for more officers to be moved into the Northern Region – an area that covers from the Hawkesbury River to the Queensland border.

“I’ve been advocating for more police, so I’m just waiting for the commissioner’s announcement now.”

Under the re-engineering program, a number of Local Area Commands (LACs) will become policing districts.

Southern sectors within the Central Hunter LAC, such as Cessnock and Kurri Kurri, are set to move into the Hunter Valley Police District, based at Muswellbrook, while northern sectors, like Maitland, will combine with Port Stephens under the new Port Stephens/Hunter Police District badge.

An ‘officer-in-charge’ model will

be introduced for each district.

The boundaries for Newcastle City, Lake Macquarie and Manning/ Great Lakes are expected to remain, but the LACs will be renamed as police districts.

NSW Police Association Central Hunter chairman, Mitch Dubojski, claims his local branch does not have the numbers to cope with a reengineering process.

He says the branch has halted industrial action until 16 December, but will resume its campaign if no commitment is made.

“We need specific numbers to deal with the matters before us [and] 20 officers would be a very good start,” he says.

“There’ll be no compromise to public safety during an industrial campaign – the community will not be left wanting.”

news The design for the Newcastle Cruise Terminal. Photo: GHD Woodhead

Cruising towards new terminal The design for a new $12.7 million Newcastle Cruise Terminal was unveiled this week.

The state government and Port of Newcastle showcased the concept design for the terminal on Monday.

It features harbour views, ease of movement, natural light, and a generous sense of spacing for passengers.

Port of Newcastle’s chief executive officer, Geoff Crowe, says the terminal will offer a professional transit experience for travellers arriving in Newcastle and a positive first impression of the city.

“We are excited to share the concept design for the Newcastle Cruise Terminal, which reflects Newcastle’s position

as a world‑class cruise ship destination,” he says.

“The new cruise terminal, to be built at the Channel Berth, will enable the Port to receive more and larger cruise ships in the future.

“Importantly, it will position Newcastle as a home port where ships can start and finish their destination in Newcastle.”

According to the Australian Cruise Association’s estimates, cruise shipping in Newcastle currently injects about $11 million a year into the local economy.

The terminal is being funded by the state government’s Restart NSW Hunter Infrastructure Investment Fund.

The cruise infrastructure upgrades also include new mooring bollards, worth about $800,000, which are jointly funded by the state and federal governments.

Express train hits the tracks Commuters travelling to the Sydney CBD from the Newcastle Interchange will now be able to board faster train services.

The new services are expected to save customers more than three hours a week, or about 35 minutes each day.

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, says it’s part of a six‑month trial.

“We’ve made sure these services are timed perfectly for the eight‑hour work day and, by tweaking existing operations, we’ll be using more modern and reliable Oscar trains,” he says.

The new service will depart Newcastle Interchange at 5:03am and arrive at Central Station at 7.26am, replacing the existing 4.40am train from Hamilton. The afternoon train will leave Sydney at 3:45pm.

news Centre looks to brighten Christmas Maitland Neighbourhood Centre is often the first port of call for many families and individuals who need support.

This year, however, is the earliest it has ever been asked for help at Christmas time, with the first enquiries dating back to August.

The centre’s senior community worker, Jenny Fullford, says many people are struggling within the community.

“It can come back to a decision over whether to pay rent, put food on the table, or buy Christmas presents,” she says. “[Last] week we helped about 50 to 60 people, if not more, just with food.

“People have either been struck down by illness, or something has come into their lives that’s caused such chaos.

“So, they’re digging into their savings just to get by.”

This is where the Rutherford-based organisation’s annual Christmas Hamper Collection aims to offer

some assistance.

The centre welcomes donations of toys or nonperishable food items, which will be added to its collection over the coming weeks.

“All donations are just amazing,” Ms Fullford adds.

“We try and provide people with food for Christmas lunch, as well as toys for children and even a small gift for adults.”

Maitland MP Jenny Aitchison has also launched a Christmas Toy Drive, which is open until 19 December, to help boost the centre’s collection.

If you’d like to donate, visit Ms Aitchison’s electorate office at 34 Church Street, Maitland or drop into the Maitland Neighbourhood Centre in Arthur Street, Rutherford (near the library).

Pop-up charging station unveiled A pop-up, solar-powered charging station will be available at Lake Macquarie events for people to power up their mobile devices.

The charging station was built by the Belmont Men’s Shed to a winning design that emerged from a competition run by the Lake Mac Youth Advisory Council. The design is based on the Redhead Beach shark tower – an iconic Lake Macquarie landmark.

Mayor Kay Fraser says it’s a great example of the city’s digital economy strategy in action.

“Being a Smart City is all about using technology to provide our community with better services more efficiently,” she says.

“The solar-powered charging station is a community-developed solution that will allow people to stay better-connected at city events and could become a prototype for other charging stations around the city.”

The pop-up charging station will be in action at ChlPfest in Charlestown’s Pearson Street mall today (Thursday 30 November) from 5.30pm to 8pm.

news City’s ‘watershed’ moment Lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes has hailed the inaugural Newcastle 500 Supercars round as a “watershed” moment for the city.

Sunshine, stunning scenery and edge-of-your-seat racing greeted more than 190,000 spectators during the three-day event from 24 to 26 November.

Cr Nelmes said the Supercars would bring many benefits to the region over the next few years.

“The inaugural Newcastle 500 exceeded expectations with the crowds that attended, their excellent behaviour and everything running smoothly as a result of brilliant cooperation between event partners Supercars Australia, council, Destination NSW and emergency services,” she told Newcastle Weekly.

“Apart from the obvious economic benefits of such an influx of people, images of the city’s rich architectural

12

mix and stunning coastal setting gained unprecedented exposure in the social media feeds of fans and on television coverage around Australia and the world.

“The weekend was a watershed for the city and will be followed by major Smart City developments, completion of the Bathers Way, the light rail and a cruise terminal in the months and years ahead.”

Northern Region commander assistant commissioner Max Mitchell was in charge of Operation Boote throughout the Newcastle 500.

The high-visibility operation included general duties police from Newcastle City LAC and across the Northern Region, the Public Order and Riot Squad, Dog Unit, Police Transport Command, and more.

Assistant commissioner Mitchell praised the crowd’s behaviour after officers made just four arrests during

the event. “With 192,000 people coming into the precinct, that’s exceptional,” he said.

“We set out to make sure we had a safe and family-friendly environment, and we achieved that.

“There was a real festive-type atmosphere and people were very respectful.”

Assistant commissioner Mitchell said police conducted more than 5,000 breath tests and issued 290

speeding infringements.

“But, those who drove were generally well-behaved, which was very pleasing,” he said.

“It was great to see that people also heeded our advice to come by public transport.”

For the record, Holden’s Jamie Whincup clinched his seventh championship after a dramatic end to Sunday’s 250-kilometre race.

One of Lake Macquarie’s most popular sheltered swimming spots has reopened after a $300,000 facelift.

Lake Macquarie council spent the past three months working to upgrade access at Granny’s Pool, Blacksmiths.

The improvements include a 350-metre shared path, as well as resurfacing of the car park and new seating.

Bahtabah Land Council has also been involved in the project, with interpretive signage offering

an insight into the story behind Swansea Heads, while 1,600 new plants have enhanced the native vegetation in the area.

Lake Macquarie mayor Kay Fraser says the improvements will be warmly welcomed by the community.

“Granny’s Pool has been a favourite spot for some local families for generations,” Cr Fraser says.

“Access has been challenging for some people in the past, so the improvements will enhance the amenity of the area.”

Lyndsay Walker on the stairs at Merewether Ocean Baths.

Photo: Peter Stoop

Walker steps up for charity They’re steep, uneven in places, and unrelenting to even the fittest.

But Charlestown resident Lyndsay Walker will take on the concrete staircase at Merewether Ocean Baths for up to 12 hours continuously next month – all in the name of charity.

The former professional cricketer is currently in daily training for the 50,000step challenge, despite recovering from a snapped ACL ligament he sustained during a gym workout.

He aims to raise about $4,000 for Soldier On – a not-for-profit organisation that supports National Security Agency personnel and their families who may have been impacted by service.

“I’ve always been fit and healthy having been a professional athlete in the past, and have always tried to help out charities, so I think this is a really good way to combine the two,” Mr Walker says.

“It’s just about creating a lot of awareness for what this charity does.”

Mr Walker particularly admires the way Soldier On helps service personnel with their reintegration into society.

“I know, to an extent, what it is like [to reintegrate] and how hard it can be for some, as I found it quite difficult going from professional sport back into a normal life,” he adds.

After recently completing 33,000 steps during a training session, Mr Walker is confident he can conquer the challenge within 12 hours.

“Most mornings I’m out there training hard as I’m really committed and pretty determined to complete the 50,000 steps,” he says.

He believes only “short Vaseline and food and water breaks” will interrupt his step-a-thon, which has raised more than $600 so far.

The stair climb will start at 5.30am on Saturday 2 December.

Lake Macquarie residents take home security seriously, according to the results of an online survey.

The survey aimed to gauge people’s approach to the issue as part of Lake Macquarie council’s crime prevention campaign.

It showed more than 96% of respondents rated themselves as ‘somewhat serious’ about home security, while 35% were ‘very serious’.

More than half of the respondents (55%) said they had made improvements to their home security within the past 12 months and intended to make more in the next year (53%).

The top-five ranked types of home security measures used by residents were: solid entry doors and frames, quality locks installed

on doors and windows, locks on garages, sheds and letterboxes, security screens on all doors and windows, and motion sensor lighting for outdoor areas.

Lake Macquarie council will now take its home security message out into the community in the coming months via pop-up information and demonstration booths at shopping centres.

The campaign promotes three tips for improving home security: lock it – lock all doors and windows; light it – leave lights on inside your house when you are away so it looks like someone is home, and label it – mark valuables with a personal identification number (like a driver’s licence number) by engraving with UV pens or microdots.

Spreading the gift of goodwill There has been a groundswell of community support for charity grocery store Food & Friendship’s annual Christmas hamper campaign, Pure Love.

Donations of non-perishable food have been piling in, but more are needed to reach the organisation’s goal of 100 hampers.

The Food & Friendship store, a ministry of Warners Bay Baptist Church, sells low-cost grocery items to pensioners, Centrelink recipients and Health Care Card holders.

Each year, the store calls on the community to donate items, which are then packed into hampers and distributed to those in need.

This year, Hunter Homeless Connect, Eastlakes Family Support Services, Samaritans’ Brighter Futures program, and some of Food & Friendship’s regular customers will benefit from the hampers.

As the Foodbank Hunger Report 2017

shows, thousands of Australian families face food insecurity, nearly half of whom are actually employed.

Food & Friendship manager, Rani PrasadFerris, said the Christmas hamper campaign

encouraged everyone to think about the people in our own neighbourhoods who might struggle to make ends meet at Christmas time.

“There are people out there with needs,” she said.

“One family last year said [a hamper] made a huge difference because it enabled them to buy just that little bit extra. Something so small can make a difference.”

Each hamper is estimated to cost around $40.

Donation suggestions include cereal, coffee and tea, breakfast spreads, custard, chocolates, biscuits, crackers and puddings.

The hampers will be distributed by volunteers from 12 December.

If you’d like to make a food donation, you can do so at the Food & Friendship store at 66 Queen Street, Warners Bay (open Monday, Thursday and Friday from 9am to 2pm).

Alternatively, monetary donations can be made by direct deposit to: WBBC Food and Friendship, account number 100013000, BSB 704-922, reference: ‘hampers’.

news A thimble of appreciation When we first met Rosaline Cox in October last year, shortly after she had been diagnosed with leukaemia, she had not long started a charity sewing group.

Now, just over 12 months later, the group – and others from around the world – have rallied around the Lambton woman as her health deteriorates.

Since it formed, Rose Sewing for Charity has worked on various sewing projects for local organisations, including ‘fiddle muffs’ for dementia ward patients, sensory mats, teddies and preemie baby clothes.

Over time, the group became involved in a broader, onlinebased community, Aussie Machine Embroidery Addicts (AMEA), started by Raymond Terrace woman Joy Davies.

Joy met Rose by coincidence, around Christmas last year, as she also happened to be undergoing cancer treatment.

When Joy and other AMEA members, who hail from all over the globe, heard Rose wasn’t doing so well, they couldn’t just stand by and watch, so they decided to take action.

About 50 members, both local and international, banded together to make a rose-themed patchwork quilt and matching cushions for Rose, which they presented to her last Sunday.

Some made individual squares, while others donated money toward the project.

Joy said it was one way in which they could help.

“It’s just a small group of people who have come together to help make this quilt, to give thanks to

Rose for all that she’s done in the community,” Joy said.

“It’s the least we could do.”

Apart from Joy, there have been two other movers and shakers behind the project: Sally Somner, of Georgetown, and Janice Heska, of Tanilba Bay. - Georgia Osland

International nod to patient program

Humble hospital blankie spreads joy They’re arguably the most “borrowed” item from hospital maternity wards.

The classic striped blankets babies are wrapped in the moment they are born are thick, soft, and unforgettable – perhaps that’s why they’re loved by many.

When Central Coast parents Will and Rene Tinkler’s first-born, Robbie, became attached to the blanket they “borrowed” from the hospital, it spurred a business idea.

The first-time parents felt embarrassed carrying the blanket with them in public.

“We tried to explain to our small human friend that we couldn’t take it out with us because everyone would see that we’d totally “borrowed” it, but he didn’t care,” Rene said.

“He wanted that stripey hospital goodness.”

So Will and Rene hunted for some

plain-coloured alternatives. They asked around, only to find other parents were just as desperate.

It took them a few months to track down the supplier of the much-loved striped hospital blanket – the same supplier used by NSW Health – but when they did, they knew they had to share the snuggly goodness with others.

And so, Twinkle Rugs was born.

Available in three plain colours – pink, white and blue – Twinkle Rugs are the exact same quality of their hospital counterparts, only they come without the guilt.

And, this month, there’s an extraspecial reason to buy a Twinkle Rug. Throughout December, 20% of the profits from blanket sales will be donated to John Hunter Hospital’s maternity ward.

Will and Rene were inspired to embrace the goodwill spirit of

Will and Rene Tinkler’s newborn daughter, Kyla, with her Twinkle Rug.

Christmas after giving birth to their second-born, daughter Kyla, at Gosford Hospital last month.

Lucky for Kyla, she won’t be embarrassing her parents in public.

DONATE FOR A MATE

Babies make social change Hunter and Central Coast Nappy Collective volunteers sort through donations at Sparke Helmore.

Nearly 8,000 unused disposable nappies have been donated to local babies in need through an annual nappy drive.

From July 2014 to date, the Hunter and Central Coast Nappy Collective has distributed more than 72,450 nappies to roughly 20 local women’s refuges and family crisis centres.

At an average cost of 45 cents each, and with newborns using up to 3,000 nappies in their first year, nappies are one of the biggest ongoing costs of raising a young family, adding additional stress to those experiencing crisis or disadvantage.

Fourteen businesses in Newcastle and the Central Coast served as collection points for this year’s nappy drive, including Sparke Helmore and Smiley’s, who have supported the initiative since its inception.

Thank you to those local people who donated during the inaugural, Lifeline for Lifeline Day. We’re continuing the request to help us to meet the growing demand for our services through our new ‘Donate for a Mate’ campaign.

Lifeline supporter Out Of The Square (OOTS) has developed a community service announcement video. It features KOFM breakfast duo Tanya Wilks and Steve G, former Newcastle Knight Michael Hagan and businesswoman Nerida Bint. All have lost someone to suicide.

Everyone’s heard of our 13 11 14 crisis support number and many know of the other life saving services we provide.

What you may not know is we rely on local donations for more than 55% of our funding.

Give the gift of hope this Christmas It costs $26 to fund one 13 11 14 crisis call.

That call can help save a life and benefit that person’s family, friends and others in the community.

Forum to combat FASD

Please help us meet the call demand this holiday season by donating today. Why not make a donation on behalf of someone as their Christmas gift.

1 call $26, 5 calls $130, 10 calls $260 Donate online lifelinehunter.org.au/donate or call 4940 2000.

Big or small, every donation counted towards making a difference to families who struggle to provide this basic yet essential healthcare item.

Local beneficiaries included Jodie’s Place, Carrie’s Place, Maitland Neighbourhood Centre, Port Stephens Family and Neighbourhood Services, Zaara’s House, Nova for Women & Children, Muloobinba Aboriginal Corporation, Hunter Women’s Centre, The Canopy, Sugar Valley Neighbourhood Centre and Belmont Neighbourhood Centre.

The next nappy drive will be held in May, with more collection points being sought throughout Newcastle and the Hunter.

More information online at thenappycollective.com If anyone would like to make a nappy donation now, they can do so at Scott Dibben Chemist Kotara.

The Newcastle Local Drug Action Team (LDAT) will host a community forum on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders on Tuesday 5 December at Newcastle City Hall.

FASD is the name given to the group of birth defects and disorders caused by drinking alcohol while pregnant.

Research shows, of those children affected by FASD, 90% will develop a mental health and/ or alcohol or other drug problem; 80% will become unemployed; and 60% will come into contact with the justice system.

Members of the public and health professionals, as well as students and

staff from the University of Newcastle, are invited to attend the forum.

It will be led by PhD candidate and conjoint fellow, Tony Brown, who chairs the Newcastle Local Drug Action Team.

The drug action team seeks to collaborate with relevant stakeholders on its Make FASD History in Newcastle campaign, which has secured federal funding for three years.

Registration is from 5.45pm to 6pm, with light refreshments provided. The forum will follow, from 6pm to 8pm.

RSVP by Friday 2 December to events@mercyservices.org.au

sport Whincup snatches Supercars crown Holden superstar Jamie Whincup snatched the 2017 Supercars championship from close rival Scott McLaughlin’s despairing clutches in a thrilling finale at the Newcastle 500.

The Triple Eight Racing driver trailed Ford young gun McLaughlin by 78 points prior to Sunday afternoon’s race.

But McLaughlin, who also took pole position, was sensationally penalised three times.

The final blow came in the dying stages of the race.

Charity adds to Christmas tradition Two of the Hunter Region’s most popular Christmas traditions have joined forces.

The annual Variety Santa Fun Run, now called Variety Xmas Walk in a bid to make the event more inclusive, will this year shift from Newcastle foreshore to the new-look Speers Point Park, to be held in conjunction with the Lake Mac Carols by Candlelight.

The walk will kick off at 11am on Sunday 10 December, followed by entertainment at 1pm to start the carols festivities.

The organisation behind the walk, Variety – The Children’s Charity, is encouraging people to sign up for either the two or five-kilometre, fullyaccessible courses to support children who are living with a disability or chronic illness.

Variety's head of regional development, Jason Bourke, says the community’s support will make a real difference.

“Everyone is invited to come along in their craziest Christmas costumes, put on their free Santa hat, and enjoy a beautiful walk together before the Lake Macquarie Christmas carols,” Mr Bourke says.

“We’ve joined forces with Lake Macquarie council for a very special day of the year.

“And, we think that putting this on adds a lot to the event, so we’re hoping that plenty of families will come.”

There will be mist machines, on-stage entertainment, face painting, a sausage sizzle, and prizes for best dressed.

Newcastle Knights star Nathan Ross is the event's ambassador.

For those who stick around to enjoy the carols, Lake Macquarie council has planned a spectacular evening of entertainment, special guests and fireworks.

Variety Xmas Walk ambassador and Newcastle Knights star Nathan Ross with his family, Ziah, Nikita and Willow.

There will be free wi-fi available throughout the festivities, which are expected to wrap up at about 9pm.

Remove from tins and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

2 2½3 cups wholemeal selfraising flour

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line two 22x22cm round cake tins with baking paper and set aside.

Filling

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar and cocoa/cacao. Mix well to combine.

Once cakes are completely cool, trim tops of cakes to make each even and flat.

Add eggs, milk, vanilla, coffee and coconut oil.

Spread half the yoghurt mix over the top of one cake. Add half the fresh mixed berries on top of the yoghurt.

¼ cup cocoa/cacao powder 4 eggs 1 ½ cups almond milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp instant coffee granules ¼ cup coconut oil, melted Filling 1 cup Greek yoghurt 2 tsp honey 1 cup mixed fresh berries and cherries of choice 10g dark chocolate

Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture for 20 seconds or until just combined and thick, scraping down the sides as needed. Do not over-mix batter or the cakes will be tough.

Divide batter evenly between the two lined tins.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Remove and cool in tins for 10 minutes.

Combine yoghurt and honey, mix well.

Carefully place remaining cake on top of the other to sandwich together.

Spread remaining yoghurt on top of the cake and add remaining berries.

Run a vegetable peeler along one side of the dark chocolate over the cake, creating chocolate shavings.

Slice into 16 pieces – 1 slice is one serve.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.

ANOTHER GREAT EVENT BY

time out Book preserves club’s precious history Its incredible history has been forged by strong friendships and, quite simply, a love of surfing.

Now, two members have preserved Nine Mile Beach Surfboard Club’s precious past.

Gregory Lunn and Phil Donoghoe are the co-authors of a new book called Nine Mile. Looking forward.

Looking back.

The book contains members’ photographs, stories and memories over the years.

Lunn, the club’s modern-day historian, says the idea has been brewing for some time.

“Phil approached me about 10 months ago on producing the book as we believe it’s a story that needs to be told due to the length of the club’s existence,” he says.

“We [also] thought it may be of

interest to any of the local surfing identities in the area or even the general public.”

The original Nine Mile Beach Surfboard Club was officially established in Tirriki Street, Blacksmiths on 15 May 1966.

The club was affiliated with the Newcastle Surfboard Association, competing in local and state surfing championships until it ceased to operate competitively in 1973.

“The club has had many highlights over the years, with many members achieving [championship] success during its competitive existence,” Lunn says.

“But the key fact is the everlasting friendships that have continued for over 50 years.”

This year, the club celebrated its 43rd annual reunion contest, which

Celebrating 50 years of local pottery Before the days of supermarkets and shopping centres, life in our suburbs meant never having far to walk to a corner store.

The Back family operated a butchery at 57 Bull Street, Cooks Hill, which still stands today.

The family’s history has been included in the name of the current business, Back to Back Galleries.

When a group of potters bought the building in 1973, they kept the beautiful façade, and built within it the Newcastle Studio Potters Inc Workshop and Back to Back Galleries.

Housed within Back to Back Galleries is the gallery shop, which has a wonderful body of clay work for sale.

This thriving group of potters, with membership approaching 80, is celebrating 50 years in 2018.

The coming year will see two major celebratory exhibitions, namely Jubilee: 50 Years and 50 Pots, and Celebrate, which will include a reunion dinner.

The ever-popular exhibition Small is also planned.

The exhibition space is booked for the 2018 season, with both local artists and those from Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and Taiwan coming to exhibit.

Members of Newcastle Studio Potters Inc will collaborate with Central Coast Potters Society for an exhibition in June, as they, too, are celebrating 50 years.

Denise Spalding at Back to Back Galleries. Photo: Peter Stoop

This year, after hosting some spectacular exhibitions, the annual Christmas Takeaway will again fill the gallery space.

With the emphasis returning to the beauty of the unique and the handmade, the art of pottery is experiencing a resurgence.

The Christmas Takeaway is open from 1 to 17 December.

Back to Back Galleries and the Gallery Shop are located at 57 Bull Street, Cooks Hill.

Open 11am to 5pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Visit newcastlepotters.org.au

Hello summer

YEAR GURANTEE

It’s hard to believe that tomorrow is the first day of December, which means summer has arrived.

Many of my hints during the next three months will be reminders to water if we aren’t experiencing summer rains.

Summer pests in the form of scale, spider mite and citrus beetle are already causing angst.

Although gardenias are flowering beautifully, it is still important to keep watering them to prevent yellowing. Check for scale, which is always made evident by that black sooty mould which is prevalent at this time of year.

Treat the scale with white oil and Malathion, followed by an application of copper oxychloride for the mould, and water the root system with chelated iron late in the afternoon.

After flowering has finished, fertilise with cow manure to encourage new growth after removing yellow leaves.

Potted gardenias should be fed with Bounceback, and liquid Flourish for Camellias and Gardenias.

Lawns aren’t suffering too much at the moment – keep up a good soaking every three days and fertilise lightly to green up for Christmas.

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

appearing, it won’t hurt to use a product that will eliminate all lawn pests, including beetles, crickets and lawn grubs.

I recently helped a keen gardener who was perturbed by his potted Big Red geraniums not looking as big and bright as usual.

We covered all obvious problems, then I suggested he lift the plant out and check the roots.

It turned out the plant was full of cockchafer grubs – white with a black head.

These grubs eat the roots. The cure: Carbaryl, every 10 days.

There is only three-and-a-half weeks until Christmas.

If you have missed the boat to plant garden beds and pots with colour, you can quickly plant some advanced petunias and fertilise each week with Flourish.

Poinsettias are available – these bright red plants are cultivated under controlled lights for our Australian Christmas. In Europe they naturally bloom red now as they flower in winter.

Please don’t decorate a live Christmas tree and forget to give it a drink and ample fresh air.

Place a saucer underneath the tree and water it each week.

PICK OF THE WEEK Children Of Men Friday, SBS, 9.30pm, (2006) Absolutely brilliant sci-fi thriller from director Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También), based on a P.D. James novel which presents a chilling vision of 2027. In a world where women are infertile, a one-time activist (Clive Owen, pictured) is forcibly recruited by his “terrorist” ex-lover (Julianne Moore) to escort humankind’s sole pregnant woman to safety – an act that could potentially save mankind from extinction.

Collateral

The Great Gatsby Saturday, GEM, 9.25pm, M (2013) Baz Luhrmann indulges his penchant for sparkle in this rendering of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel. Leonardo DiCaprio (pictured) stars as protagonist Jay Gatsby, who throws decadent parties at his mansion in a desperate bid to engineer a reunion with his long-lost love, Daisy Buchanan (Carey Mulligan). Daisy is trapped in an unhappy marriage to brawny millionaire Tom (Joel Edgerton) and the whole tangled mess is narrated by Daisy’s cousin Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire).

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

FAMILY For me, it starts with family – my gorgeous wife Jasmin and our new addition Elora. Jas and I have been together since we were teenagers and have continued to shine through adversity and celebrate our successes together. We are also very grateful to raise our daughter surrounded by our beautiful community.

My favourite things CONNECTION I love connecting with people, it drives everything I do and who I am.

To learn about people, to see people achieve, and to be able to share those experiences is what keeps me in the creative industry. It’s amazing to see what people can achieve when they truly feel a part of something.

MUSIC

Toby Kable 2017 LAKE MACQUARIE YOUNG CITIZEN OF ThE YEAR

Toby Kable makes a living out of connecting and working with people to see them experience true success and make the most of an opportunity. This comes from his unique ability to see the good in people, their strengths, and to be able to highlight those human qualities that we can all possess.

Through his work and continued learning, he has started a small business called All Ability Sports Coaching, and has coached at an Australian and state level. Toby also works in high schools, running the Top Blokes Program, which addresses key issues for young men in the community.

He has also just released his third album as a singer-songwriter.

Toby’s efforts are continually recognised, having received awards such as the 2017 Lake Macquarie Young Citizen of the Year, Lifeline Brass Blokes Young Achiever, University of Newcastle Margaret Jurd Memorial Prize, and an Australian songwriting award.

I love music, where it takes me, and how it allows me to work through all the emotions of life. From listening, to playing and creating. From writing a new song, to driving down the F3 in the team bus with our players, belting out a tune.

WOODWORKING Knocking up player trophies, building furniture for our home, or creating a game to share – I’m continually learning and applying my woodworking skills.

You’ll find me on a day off, tinkering down in the shed, covered in sawdust.

I enjoy working with recycled material, giving it a new lease of life.

COAChING I love preparing a session, as well as seeing the team experience success and watching the personal growth of each player. I enjoy going into camp with the team, bringing the group together, and highlighting our achievements at our presentation nights.

The best part is the relationships that come from these shared experiences.
