This week...

04 08 10 16

From the editor If you read my last column, and you follow the local news, you're probably as surprised as I am by how closely I escaped a hot air ballooning accident.

My glorious sunrise flight over the Hunter Valley and the unfortunate landing-gone-wrong happened at the same place, same time, only a week apart. Talk about a close call.

Fortunately, no one was killed in last weekend's incident near Greta, but a few were injured when the balloon made an unexpectedly rough landing.

Though many people I've told about my bucket-list experience balked at it (especially after the accident), I remain undeterred in my pursuit of adventure.

You can't let it stop you, right?

With Australia Day fast approaching, it's a good time to stop and reflect on what it means to be Australian. I think this verse of our national anthem sums it up: "For those who come across the seas we've boundless plains to share; With courage let us all combine to Advance Australia Fair".

This week we take five with the Delos Santos family, of Cardiff South, who originally came to Australia from the Philippines. Now, more than five years later, Guillermo, Danette and their four children are preparing to gain their Australian citizenship on Australia Day. How sweet. That story on page 12.

news Action stations at terminus It’s been closed for more than three years, but a non-profit organisation will now look to put Newcastle train station’s future on the right track.

The state government stopped trains from rolling into the historic station in December 2014 as part of its revitalisation plans.

Since then, Renew Newcastle, which connects people with vacant spaces and supports a community of creative entrepreneurs, has pushed for the chance to offer a range of activities at the site.

The group eventually came out on top in a competitive expressions of interest process to activate the station and surrounding precinct for an 18-month period.

Renew Newcastle’s general manager, Christopher Saunders, says it’s an exciting project.

“We’ve wanted the state government to work with us to use

that space since the train station closed,” he tells Newcastle Weekly.

“We were well-placed to be the custodian of [the station] given our track record of experimenting with the community.

“It’s a temporary, 18-month activation, which is why I think we’re well-placed to play a part in this.”

Mr Saunders says Renew Newcastle’s concept will be based on four key areas: a people’s platform, innovation and education platform, event platform, and hospitality platform.

“It is a big space, and it’s not just for artists,” he says.

“We’ll look at a partnership with [Newcastle] university to have education-based activities there and even open it up, in very broad terms, to sporting events that may engage families and kids on a weekly basis.

“We also see the station as an

opportunity for local songwriters, musicians and composers with the establishment of a new acoustic music venue.”

Big Dog Pod – Newcastle Comedy managing director, Andrew Milos, believes the space has “massive potential”.

He hopes to host an experimental comedy showcase at the station

before potentially setting up regular events.

“Anything can happen to that space to be honest,” he says.

“I’m more than happy to give it a go.”

The temporary activation of Newcastle station is expected to start in mid-2018.

news Recycling program loses collection point Tenambit Takeaway has abandoned the state government’s Return and Earn scheme due to ongoing issues with the recycling program.

The scheme rolled out across the state on 1 December, but a lack of collection points in the Maitland area put a strain on the local business’ operation.

Co-owner Darren McConville says the current system is not yet adequate to run his store and the scheme hand-in-hand.

“The set-up at the moment isn’t suitable for places that have small storage solutions,” he tells Newcastle Weekly.

“We haven’t had regular pickups and it has made the place untidy and left us short of space and tearing our hair out.

“I don’t want to discourage

other businesses from using the scheme, but you need to be in a position where you’ve got plenty of storage.”

Mr McConville stressed recycling remained important to the business and added it would consider taking on the scheme again when it became “better suited to what we do”.

The Return and Earn initiative aims to reduce the volume of litter caused by drink containers, which make up about 44% of all litter discarded in NSW. Users receive a 10-cent refund for every eligible drink container deposited at a collection point.

Tenambit Takeaway was Maitland’s first collection point, coming online a week after the program began.

It handed consumers the 10-cent refund over-the-counter and then stored the containers ahead of collection.

The nearest collection points, now, in the Maitland area are at Kurri Golf Club and Hotel Tudor in Woodberry.

Other locations in the Hunter

Region include: North Rothbury, Cessnock, Mayfield, Jesmond, Edgeworth, Mount Hutton, Redhead, Medowie and Salamander Bay. For more information on the program, or to find a collection point, visit returnandearn.org.au - Ben Murphy

New positions for police districts Twenty-four positions have been added to two newly-formed police districts in the Hunter Region as the statewide re-engineering process kicked into gear this week.

The Central Hunter Local Area Command has disbanded, with Maitland joining Port Stephens under a Port Stephens/Hunter Police District banner, while Cessnock’s moved into the Hunter Valley Police District, based at Muswellbrook.

Both districts are being bolstered by an extra 12 positions each.

Northern Region commander assistant commissioner Max Mitchell says “most things have gone well” in the re-engineering process, but he admits there is a need for even more officers.

“They are high-growth areas and I’ll always advocate for more police at Cessnock, Maitland and Raymond Terrace,” he says.

“At least the structure is one that we can build on for the future.”

Mr Mitchell says domestic violence is a priority for police within the two districts, while detectives will also look to crack down on crimes such as break and enters and car thefts, particularly at Cessnock and Raymond Terrace.

He adds the re-engineering process has focused on “doing away with some senior positions” to put more officers on the front line.

“We’ve lost a superintendent and three inspectors from the amalgamation of three commands into two,” he says.

Those roles are believed to have been converted into two constable and three sergeant positions.

Maitland MP Jenny Aitchison says she is concerned about the restructure’s long-term effectiveness.

“I don’t believe in combining

Port Stephens with Maitland or Cessnock with the Hunter Valley,” she says.

“Cessnock with the Upper Hunter just beggars belief, especially with the prison being expanded.

“They have obviously chosen the structure that they think is the most effective but the problem will come when it’s not being properly resourced, so why not do that from the get-go?

“There has to be savings [in the senior position cuts]; fair enough if there are costs for equipment and that sort of thing but, if the need is there, are we still going to get the right resources to do proactive policing?”

Newcastle City and Lake Macquarie LACs have been renamed as police districts under the changes.

Lions District 201N3 diabetes coordinator Jim Cowburn.

Taking diabetes to new heights Children living with type 1 diabetes can often feel different to their peers.

So, in a bid to boost confidence and selfesteem, Diabetes NSW & ACT will host a DiaBuddies Day at TreeTops Newcastle on Saturday 20 January.

The event is sponsored by Lions District 201N3, which covers the Hunter Region, Central Coast, and surrounding areas.

The district’s diabetes coordinator, Jim Cowburn, says DiaBuddies Day will be a fun and educational experience.

“I was diagnosed [with type 1] in my 40s so I was big enough to understand,” he says.

“But I feel so sorry for kids who have got it; they don’t want to feel different to anyone else.

“I think education is important – if they realise that they aren’t the only ones in the world with this problem, then it might make them more likely to control it.

“And parents need to be educated so they know if there is a problem.

“While that’s happening, the kids will be

out having fun and getting some exercise.”

According to the National Diabetes Services Scheme, there are almost 30,000 people living with diabetes in the Hunter Region.

Of those, more than 3,000, or about 11%, have type 1 diabetes, which is higher than the national average of 9%.

Diabetes NSW & ACT chief executive officer, Sturt Eastwood, says bringing DiaBuddies Day to the Hunter is just one way to show support and raise awareness.

“Children living with diabetes often feel different because they need to monitor their blood glucose, take insulin and pay careful attention to their diet, exercise and general health,” he says. “[Days] like this let them know they are not alone because they get to meet and have fun with other children living with diabetes.”

The event will go from 9.30am to 2.30pm.

Walka Grange Lifestyle Village advertising moment

Walka Grange – under new management When Des Malone came on board as the new manager of the Walka Grange Over 55 Lifestyle Village, he really had to hit the ground running.

It was only 20 days until Christmas and with just two villas remaining to be sold, the Rutherford complex was almost ready to hang out the “House Full” sign, so there were a lot of names and faces to learn!

What’s more, the lead-up to Christmas is a particularly busy time for the village, when everything from kids’ Christmas parties to orchestral recitals turn the village Clubhouse into “party central”, and the gym and pool get a real workout too (pardon the pun!).

Yet Des took to the task of managing this bustling complex like a duck to water, and the residents continue to sing his praises.

It is easy to underestimate the impact a manager has on a lifestyle or retirement village and how difficult it is to replace a much-loved one who has decided

to embrace retirement (hi Barb!), but Des has managed to quickly win everyone’s approval, from the residents to operators.

His ready smile and engaging manner are complemented by his extensive knowledge of the retirement village sector, and, in what is even better news, Walka Grange has totally won Des over.

“To say I was knocked out by what I saw when I came up for the first interview would be an understatement; I couldn’t believe that what I was seeing was priced so reasonably,” Des said.

“In fact, even after being here for a month, I continue to be astounded by what Walka Grange has to offer in the way of amenities and value for money.

“I’m looking forward to having a long association with Walka Grange and also assisting with

the establishment of managerial procedures for the Hunter Grange village at East Maitland in the future.”

At the time of printing, it is necessary to point out that the plans for the Hunter Grange are still awaiting council approval, yet the list of names interested in the

proposed East Maitland village continues to grow.

So, if you’re anxious to move into a lifestyle village sooner rather than later, it may be well worth your while to call the Walka Grange Sales Office, before Des has to hang out the “House Full” sign.

A place to call home

The Delos Santoses love the Aussie way of life.

Gio, Gino, Danette, Guillermo, Gail and Guian Delos Santos. Photo: Peter Stoop

It’s not uncommon to find the Cardiff South family at the beach or the park on any given weekend, lapping up the lucky country lifestyle.

Their favourite meal is sausages.

Now, Guillermo, Danette, Guian, Gio, Gail and even nine-month-old Gino, are preparing for one of the biggest moments of their lives in Australia so far: the day they gain citizenship.

They’re trying on their formal clothes, ready for the special day, and finalising plans to host a get-together with friends.

It all takes place on Australia Day (Friday 26 January), when Lake Macquarie council welcomes some of the country’s newest citizens at its annual citizenship ceremony at council chambers.

It’s a moment the Delos Santoses have been waiting for for quite some time.

Guillermo, a motor mechanic, and Danette came to Australia from the Philippines in 2012 for work, with their eldest, Guian and Gio, in tow.

They lived in Victoria for a few years, before

recently moving to Lake Macquarie.

They’ve also since welcomed their third and fourth children, Gail and Gino, who were both born in Australia.

“We miss our family, but we love Australia; the country itself, and the people, the community,” Danette tells Newcastle Weekly.

“Although it can get cold here.”

Guillermo and Danette say the hardest part about adjusting to life in Australia was learning the English language and the nuances of the Aussie accent.

However, it has become second nature to their children, who speak both Filipino and English at home.

Nevertheless, they will celebrate Australia Day the way they have always done: with good-oldfashioned outdoor fun, friends and food, only this year, they will do so as proud Australian citizens.

Charity flush with donations It was an opportunity that just couldn’t go to waste.

Crown and Anchor hotelier Mark Chegwidden had noticed that people were stopping by only to use the bathrooms.

So, with staff at the hotel already donating their tips to the Bowel Cancer Research Foundation, he saw the foot traffic as an ideal way to raise more

money for the cause.

“On a normal day we get, on average, 18 people coming in during the day to use the toilets without making a purchase,” Mr Chegwidden says.

“We just figured that if we’re good enough to supply water, electricity, toilet paper, hand towels and soap free of charge, then maybe they could

return the favour by helping out a worthy cause.”

The donation posters, which were first put up during the Newcastle 500 Supercars event in November, proved to be a great success.

“I think a lot of people actually feel bad about using the toilets without making a purchase, so it has been extremely well received by the public,” Mr Chegwidden adds.

Mr Chegwidden originally chose the Bowel Cancer Research Foundation because an old school friend was diagnosed with the illness several years ago.

“It made me want to do something to try and help, not only financially, but to raise awareness as well,” he says.

“When we were discussing the extensive use of the toilets by the public, the nature of the situation and the charity we were supporting seemed to be a good fit.”

Charlestown Swim Centre will host free fitness classes five days a week during school terms from February.

Lake Macquarie council has waived fees for the use of the swim centre’s grassed area to deliver Live Life Get Active.

Led by professional trainers, the national initiative brings fitness camps to parks and community spaces around Australia, with members also receiving access to nutritional plans and health advice.

Camp participants will be guided through a range of activities, including crosstraining, boxing, fitness games and yoga. It’s open to all fitness levels and abilities.

Those interested can register via livelifegetactive. com closer to the program’s launch.

Summit in her sights As a baby, doctors were unsure whether Abbie Bellears would ever walk.

She was diagnosed with a rare disability called Congenital Bilateral Perisylvian Syndrome – a disease characterised by the paralysis of

certain facial muscles and epileptic seizures.

Major complications arising from spinal surgery in 2015 left doctors concerned, once again, that Abbie would be wheelchair-bound for the rest of her life.

GREAT FUN FOR ALL!

Now aged 17, the Novocastrian, who has already defied all odds by walking, is determined to reach the summit of Australia’s highest mountain.

Abbie will embark on the Krazy Kosci Klimb – an empowering challenge event for young people living with cerebral palsy or other disability – from 16 to 18 February.

She’ll be joined by her mum, Naomi, younger brother Eric and grandparents Fris and Oma Margaret as they walk the summit track from Charlotte Pass to the top of Mount Kosciuszko.

The hike raises funds for the Cerebral Palsy Alliance (CPA) – a non-profit organisation, based at Croudace Bay, that provides services to thousands of people with a disability and their families.

More than 30,000 Australians live with cerebral palsy while,

according to CPA, the cost to the community is estimated at $1.47 billion per year.

“Ideally, we would love to raise $5,000 for CPA to thank them for their support,” Abbie’s mum, Naomi, says.

“The team at CPA have been a part of our family for 17 years, providing therapy and support during challenging times.

“Helping to raise funds to assist those facing similar challenges to Abbie is our little way of saying thank you.”

Several other Hunter-based participants will also complete the hike. They include: Isabella Petersen, Tim and Mitch Low, Maddy Petith and Jake Ballard.

Fern Bay author Sophie Stokes reads A Visit to the King’s Garden to her granddaughter, Florence. Photo: Jessica Parish Photography

Colour and culture collide When we consider what makes a great children’s book, cultural relevance isn’t usually the first criterion that springs to mind.

However, Fern Bay author Sophie Stokes is on a mission to change that, with a series of culturallysensitive titles.

Stokes has just released her third children’s book, A Visit to the King’s Garden.

Inspired by her Greek heritage, A Visit to the King’s Garden takes a look at self-worth beyond the expectations of culture. It is loosely based on her own childhood.

“Growing up in a Greek home, the rules were very definite: the girls did the girls’ things and the boys did the boys’ things,” Stokes tells Newcastle Weekly.

“I wanted to play soccer, which, traditionally, wasn’t a very girly sport.

“But sometimes, when we give our children this message, we stop them from doing what they love.”

Having experienced Greek culture first-hand, it was easy for Stokes to pen this book, but her two earlier titles, Sokha Goes to School (2017) and Kula Chakula is Hungry! (2016), were inspired by two separate trips to Tanzania and Cambodia.

They were written and illustrated with input from the locals.

“It’s something [the children] can identify with because the characters look like them and dress like them,” Stokes says.

“It says: we value your culture, we value your language, and we’re not going to change that.

“These children can relate [to the books], but I also really wanted Aussie kids to experience something different to their own culture.”

All three books are written in English but contain subtitles in the native tongue.

They are available from the online store at insofiaskitchen.com.au - Georgia Osland

time out Scullion returns for more Newcastle-based musician Matt Scullion reckons he hasn’t missed a Tamworth Country Music Festival in 20 years.

Even when the now Kotara resident spent seven years in Nashville, Tennessee, he still made time every year around Christmas to come home, see his family, and head to Tamworth.

This year, he’s up for two Golden Guitar nominations in the song-writing section for a tune he co-wrote with Travis Collins and Amber Lawrence, titled Our Backyard.

And, the same day the 10-day festival kicks off – tomorrow, Friday 19 January – Scullion drops his second album, more than a decade in the making.

“I always had plans for another album, I just didn’t think it would be this long between them,” he tells Newcastle Weekly.

I’m Just A Song follows on from Put It Down To Experience (2006).

And experience is one thing Scullion has.

Growing up listening to a diverse range of music, it was a “best of Kenny Rogers tape in the Commodore” that shaped Scullion’s passion for country music.

As soon as he had a bit of money behind him from playing gigs, in his mid-20s, he jumped on a plane to Nashville, where, over the years (and roughly a dozen trips later) he has worked with some of the best in the biz, such as Rick Price.

He’s also co-written 16 no.1 Australian country singles so far, working with some big names like Lee Kernaghan, and, of course, Travis Collins and Amber Lawrence.

Back home, he holds monthly ‘Scullion Sessions’ at the Stag & Hunter Hotel (previously at The Prince of Wales Hotel), where he usually invites two artists to perform alongside him.

Past guests include Adam Eckersley and Catherine Britt.

Scullion will officially launch I’m Just A Song with his band in Tamworth on Tuesday 23 January.

It will be available to stream and download from Friday 19 January on Spotify and iTunes, or in signed, hard-copy form from socialfamilyrecords.com A limited-edition run of vinyls will also be produced.

Ultra Violet: where to start Amber Tiles ambassador Juliet Love shares her take on Pantone’s choice for Color of the Year 2018, and how to integrate it into the home.

Pantone (the world authority on colour trends) has chosen Ultra Violet as the ‘Color of the Year’.

Many are already accusing this colour of being difficult to decorate with – purple is one of those colours that causes divide.

People either love it, or hate it. Either way, we’re going to be seeing a lot of it this year.

Ultra Violet is a rich shade of purple that evokes images of wealth, power and luxury.

Interestingly, purple is also often associated with mindful practices such as yoga and meditation as it’s thought to elevate the human psyche to a higher level.

This can only be a good thing if we’re surrounding ourselves with it in our homes.

The colour works in both traditional, elegant spaces, as well as bold, modern ones.

It also lends itself to unique colour combinations. Paired with metallics such as silver and gold, it’s luxurious and strong.

With soft pinks and purples it becomes

romantic. Combined with green or grey it becomes more muted and subtle.

In either a hexagonal or classic herringbone pattern, a white and grey marble tile would tone down the violet and make it modern and cool.

There are endless possibilities to leverage the power of colour psychology in your home with this shade.

It can be used in a variety of ways – as a single, bold statement, or in a layered approach in various decorative elements such as soft furnishings, paint, wallpaper, art, or striking architectural hardware.

A violet-toned crystal doorknob, for example, would be an eye-catching addition to any home.

If you’re unsure, start by introducing small amounts of the colour: in a vase of flowers (such as lavender); a thread in a vintage woven rug; or a pair of cushions with violet undertones.

For a more dramatic, moody look, team the colour with deep, saturated tones such as burgundy, charcoal or navy. Coupled with rich

in the garden

Burn, baby, burn Boy, hasn’t the garden suffered this summer.

In my many years in the horticulture industry, I’ve never seen plants burnt so badly as on the 40-plus-degree days we’ve had.

For example, 12 years ago I planted an avenue of Magnolia Little Gems down the driveway, and they have flourished until the recent hot days with strong westerly winds.

I put it down to the very dry winter, followed by extreme heat.

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

Burnt plants need lots of water, and don’t cut damaged plants at this time; leave that growth as it will offer some protection through the rest of summer. Pruning will stimulate soft new growth, which is easily burnt in the heat.

Apply grub killer to stop the culprit behind brown lawns.

Don’t fertilise as this could cause burning during the heat.

This week • Remove tired-looking annuals. Apply cow manure to fertilise and mulch, then wait a week before planting petunias, lobelia and marigolds to give the garden colour.

• Roses are looking sad. Although not as damaged by black spot, they do need a good drink.

• Remove fallen stone fruit and tomatoes, bag them and bin them to stave off fruit fly.

Transforming your home’s exterior with the right colour scheme and paint finish will future-proof your home and create curb appeal for years to come.

Choosing the right colour scheme not only makes a strong first impression and expresses a homeowner’s personality, but also has the ability to add value to the property.

To eliminate colour guesswork, Dulux has curated three, on-trend exterior colour schemes, which can easily be applied to virtually any architectural style.

Comprising Bright Spot, Botanical Life and Natural Beauty, these exterior palettes feature a selection of hues that can be mixed and matched with confidence.

Bright Spot contains pops of brighter hues and a selection of neutrals. This palette is ideal for popular mid-century homes.

Offering a more traditional colour scheme, Botanical Life

achieves a warm and welcoming lush look, which is globallyinspired with spicy colour accents, bohemian styling and tropical flair.

Natural Beauty is inspired by tactile elements, featuring colours drawn from nature, with an emphasis on neutrals, warm greys and charcoals.

Four simple steps to futureproof your home: 1. Select your main colour and accent colours to match. Use colour chips, A4 samples and sample pots to make sure your final selection is right for you.

2. Choose your Dulux Weathershield paint.

You will need to use an undercoat for metal surfaces.

3. Purchase the correct amount of paint for the job.

4. Be sure to read the paint label carefully for paint tips and cleaning instructions.

Voilà!

PICK OF THE WEEK Hook Friday, GO!, 8.30pm, PG (1991) Steven Spielberg sweeps the dust from the hardcover of Peter Pan to instil a contemporary setting in the muchadored tale about the boy who doesn’t grow up. A big-name cast sees Dustin Hoffman as the eponymous Captain Hook, Robin Williams as a middle-aged Peter who has forgotten his time in Never Neverland and Julia Roberts as the pint-sized Tinkerbell hellbent on making him remember. Also stars Bob Hoskins (pictured).

Friday

Jack Reacher

We’re The Millers Tuesday, NBN, 8.30pm, M (2013) If you’re looking for a lowbrow comedy with plenty of laughs, this is it. Jason Sudeikis plays David, a small-time drug dealer who winds up in debt to his supplier (Ed Helms) and is talked into transporting a shipment of marijuana from Mexico back to the US. Sudeikis ropes in his stripper neighbour (Jennifer Aniston, pictured), a wannabe customer (Will Poulter) and a streetwise teen (Emma Roberts) to pose as sweet-as-pie family the Millers on an innocent road trip in a shiny RV to dodge the authorities.

Monday, NBN, 8.30pm, M (2012) Tom Cruise (pictured), plays author Lee Child’s titular cop-turned-drifter who becomes part of the investigation when a former army sniper takes the rap for gunning down five innocent people. But as defence lawyer Rosamund Pike quickly discovers, Reacher may prove to be more trouble than he’s worth.

Directed and adapted from the ninth Reacher novel One Shot by Oscar-winning writer Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects), the first movie outing for Child’s vigilante hero should do for Cruise what Taken did for Liam Neeson.

Energy, power and drive will be Kristen’s in 2018. Now is the time for her to make huge progress in all areas of her life.

Her creative powers will be at their best and should be used in a constructive way. She will need to be careful of being controlling when dealing with her loved ones. It is a time to think big for her career, business and finances. Her dynamic personality is certain to win her support from others easily.

ARIES: MAR 21 - APR 20

CANCER: JUN 22 - JUL 22

LIBRA: SEP 24 - OCT 23

CAPRICORN: DEC 22 - JAN 20

Your attitude to money continues to be transformed by circumstances in 2018, some of which are out of your control.

On the love front, those who come from different cultural backgrounds will appeal to you the most and February, June, August and November will your most important months.

Your love life is alive and dazzling as Jupiter in Scorpio enhances romance and Saturn helps to strengthen your relationship in 2018. The instinctive and caring side of your nature is going to be very obvious. The best months for romance are April, June and September.

Your best months career wise are February, April and September. There are some hurdles to overcome on the personal front as Pluto ushers in a time of differences and separations, but be careful not to assume the worst. Your best months love wise are February, May and November.

You’ve been the ultimate combination of assertiveness and charm. If you need to set someone straight, strike now while your enhanced expression enables you to think on your feet. With Jupiter in your 11th house your popularity will skyrocket. Your best love months are March, July and December.

TAURUS: APR 21 - MAY 21

You’ll be inspired to rid your life of all negativity this year. If you've been at odds with a neighbour or colleague, this is a good time to make amends. Meanwhile, use Saturn in your health and daily routine sector to make your life run a little more efficiently.

SCORPIO: OCT 24 - NOV 22

AQUARIUS: JAN 21 - FEB 19

The world is your oyster with Jupiter in your sign in 2018; you'’ll feel enthusiastic, confident and passionate enough to tackle almost anything! With Neptune and Saturn also enhancing your gift of the gab, you’ll have all the help and powers of persuasion needed to realise your dreams.

With Saturn in your 12th house, secret desires, spirituality, karma and past insecurities are all part of the cosmic landscape. You’ll feel charitable and empathetic, and a little extra sensitivity will help heal past emotional wounds.

Your best months for romance are February, April and November.

SAGITTARIUS: NOV 23 - DEC 21

PISCES: FEB 20 - MAR 20

Your finances have the potential to be in good shape due to Saturn in your money sector. Lower overheads and a possible boost in income improve your position, finally letting you update your car, renovate or travel. Your best months career wise are February, May and November.

Jupiter in Scorpio creates a busy social agenda and you’ll need to prioritise.

You’ll feel more vivacious and fun-loving than usual, so feel free to put more pleasurable company before obligations.

You’ll also feel a strong need to get involved with a community project or cause with like-minded people.

Others will appreciate your efforts at work, mainly because you are prepared to fulfil your obligations without complaint. February, August and September are your best months career wise. On the love front, changes in existing relationships are on the cards and circumstances will sweep you along.

GEMINI: MAY 22 - JUN 21 On the love front, your sexual magnetism goes through the roof and those from a different climate with a charming accent and different coloured skin will entrance you. The best months for love are March, June and October. Your best months career wise are March, May and October.

LEO: JUL 23 - AUG 23

VIRGO: AUG 24 - SEP 23 Your luck changes around March when most of the planets have a beneficial influence on your domestic relationships. Moving home, purchasing land or considering a career in real estate might provide you with some lucky opportunities for better income and a far more satisfying lifestyle.

My favourite things COUNTRY MUSIC Troy Cassar-Daley and Adam Brand – I love this pair singing together. I’ve made instructions that they will be my funeral songs.

HELPING PEOPLE If anything goes on in regards to crime, people come straight to me.

I’m also still doing P&C work and I’ll be 81 this year – they can’t get rid of me!

FAMILY I’ve been married to Bill for more than five decades and have a daughter, Alison.

Deadre Ham

BELMONT NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH AREA COORDINATOR

Deadre Ham received a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) on the Queen’s birthday anniversary in June 2013 for her considerable service to the local community. For almost 35 years, she’s taken on the role of area coordinator at Belmont Neighbourhood Watch, which requires her to collect subscriptions, assist with the newsletter, and attend monthly meetings. Deadre’s also helped out the Belmont Girl Guides, Waratah Orthopaedic School, Meals on Wheels, several Belmont schools through canteen work and the P&C Association, and the Friends of Belmont Cemetery Group. She has been married to husband, Bill, for 57 years and has a daughter, Alison.

COMMUNITY I’ve joined Lake Macquarie council in cleaning up Belmont Cemetery on Mother’s Day and around the Christmas period for more than 20 years.

SPORT I love watching cricket and the NRL; I’ve been a member of the Newcastle Knights for 31 years and travelled to a lot of games, including as far as New Zealand.
