This week...

From the editor I'm a sucker for superstition. Give me a horoscope and I'll find a way to apply it to my life.

I'm an Aquarian, but only just. Born at 10pm on 18 February, some will say I just scraped in by two hours, while others speculate the Aquarius star sign rolls into Pisces on 20 February.

Whichever way you look at it, I was born on the cusp. Astrologists say people like me might find they possess personality traits of both star signs. A friend's mum once said to me: "You must feel like you don't know who you are".

Sometimes, that's true.

In the Chinese zodiac, I was born in the Year of the Dog, which 2018 happens to be. Fellow dogs were born in 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, and 2006.

I figured others would be as interested as I to know what the Chinese New Year held (observed Friday 16 February), so we enlisted the help of Confucius Institute Chinese Director Jonathan Yi to give us the low-down.

While Chinese New Year is celebrated by many, the superstitions and predictions for the "year of" only apply to those born that year. Flip to page 20 to find out more.

Zodiacs aside, I am looking forward to celebrating another trip around the sun with my nearest and dearest on Sunday.

Another year older, another year wiser.

news Time to fix “man-made erosion” Community advocate Simon Jones says the time has passed for people to be “sticking their head in the sand” as the ongoing erosion at Stockton Beach reaches a critical stage.

Huge recent swells, along with decades of constant sand loss, prompted concerns over the safety of a nearby childcare centre and exposed a former rubbish dump full of asbestos, heavy metals and hydrocarbon.

The state government knocked back calls for the beach to be added to a coastal erosion hotspot list last week because it didn’t meet the criteria of a location where five or more houses or a public road were at immediate risk.

Mr Jones, who formed the Save Stockton Beach group, believes the volatile coastal strip is only being offered “band-aid solutions”.

“Adding us to the [erosion hotspot]

list would give us additional funding from the government,” he says.

“Right now, there are just shortterm, band-aid solutions to make sure it doesn’t get much worse in the interim.

“The thing that upsets a lot of people, aside from the fact it has been going on for so long, is that it’s been proved the Port [of Newcastle] caused this.

“So, for the state government to say it’s not their problem, when it is their infrastructure causing the problem in the first place, is a bit of a slap in the face.”

A coastal zone hazards study, commissioned by Newcastle council in 2014, found the harbour’s breakwalls act as barriers, preventing sand from reaching the beach.

Mr Jones says there needs to be a long-term solution to fix the “manmade erosion”.

Erosion takes hold of Stockton Beach. Photo: Peter Stoop

“The buck-passing between [Newcastle] council, the state government, and stakeholders from the Port [of Newcastle] has to stop,” he says.

“Something must be done – it should’ve been done years ago.”

Newcastle council met with the Department of Premier and Cabinet and the state government’s Coastal

Panel last week to discuss possible solutions to protect the shoreline.

Panel chair, Professor Bruce Thom, is an expert on coastal management.

A community meeting will be hosted by Newcastle council within the next month to update Stockton residents on the issue.

news Protest announced over bus timetable Labor MPs have “rallied the troops” to protest the state government in the wake of private operator Keolis Downer’s controversial changes to Newcastle’s transport services.

Shadow Minister for Transport Jodi McKay met with Swansea MP Yasmin Catley, Newcastle MP Tim Crakanthorp, Charlestown MP Jodie Harrison and Wallsend MP Sonia Hornery at Charlestown Square last week to call for a review of the revamped bus timetable.

Newcastle Transport operator Keolis Downer launched its new network in January, promising more than 1,000 extra services, better connections and increased frequency across Newcastle and eastern Lake Macquarie.

But Hunter MPs have reportedly been inundated with complaints and, after voicing their disappointment at Minister for Transport Andrew Constance’s response to questions in parliament, organised a protest for Monday 19 February.

Ms Catley, who has repeatedly criticised the impact of the changes on her electorate, believes it will send a strong message to the state government.

“We need you to be our foot soldiers and

encourage everyone to attend [the protest],” she told community members at the announcement last week.

“This isn’t politics, this isn’t us going down [to parliament] to play a game; this is us going down to say, ‘you are ruining our community.’”

Caves Beach resident Lee Fry described the new network as “appalling”.

“I’ve got a 14-year-old son who catches public transport and it’s a minimum of two changes – there aren’t any direct buses to Charlestown or Newcastle, everyone has to get off at Belmont,” she said.

“I have written to the minister and [Keolis Downer] and no one responded.

“Some of the most vulnerable in the community are being inconvenienced so much, not just physically, but time-wise too.”

Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter, Scot MacDonald, defended the network, claiming it was showing signs of growth after just a few weeks of operation.

“It is very early days, however, we are already seeing positive signs in terms of people using the

new network,” he said.

“Delivery of frequent, direct routes have already seen a slight uptick in patronage, in particular, trips to John Hunter Hospital have increased by approximately 15%, which is pleasing to see.

“We are confident that, as the network continues to settle, these early signs will turn into sustained increases.”

The public protest will take place at Belmont 16s from 6pm to 7pm.

Cr Pynsent labelled Cessnock as the perfect location for people considering a sea change.

“We are strategically located to Sydney and Newcastle [and] we offer affordable land and housing,” he said.

Paterson MP Meryl Swanson has blasted the federal government after it missed a senate deadline on a motion that called for a long-awaited plan to address the Williamtown PFAS contamination scandal.

A joint Greens/Labor-sponsored motion was agreed to the senate in December 2017.

It urged the government to stop

the spread of PFAS contamination, extend and improve testing regimes for blood and the environment, and explain its process and position on addressing the financial impacts of PFAS on individuals and businesses.

Ms Swanson said the government’s failure to respond before last week’s deadline was “not just arrogant, it’s hurtful”.

The need for an increased police presence in the Wallsend CBD and western suburbs has again been flagged.

Wallsend MP Sonia Hornery met with Newcastle Local District Commander Brett Greentree to discuss her concerns about crime levels in Wallsend, particularly over the Christmas period, and to see what could be done about dispatching more police officers to the area.

Ms Hornery moved a Notice of Motion in parliament this week, calling on Police Minister Troy Grant to take steps to properly resource local police districts.

The motion notes that some businesses in the Wallsend electorate have experienced a

spike in crime in recent years and recognises that, while local police are doing their best, the newlyformed districts remain underresourced.

Ms Hornery’s motion comes after the release of the latest Productivity Commission report, which shows NSW now has the lowest expenditure on police services in the country, with a cut of almost $500 million.

“The minister must explain why the NSW government is failing to deliver on the promised increase in officer numbers and why it is failing to invest in the future of our police force,” Ms Hornery says.

“The Wallsend electorate deserves its fair share and I will continue to fight for more police resources.”

Sacred soil collected for centenary project As we approach 100 years since the end of World War I, we remember our locals who have fallen in the line of duty.

As part of the centenary commemorations, Minister for Veterans Affairs David Elliott and Member of the Legislative Council Taylor Martin took a soil sample from the Aberdare Memorial Gates, to add to a wider collection of soil samples from 1,600 towns across the state where soldiers enlisted to fight.

These samples will be displayed in the renovated Hall of Service, along with the name of each town where the sample was collected, as part of the Anzac Memorial Centenary Soil Collection Project.

One of the names listed on the memorial gates at Aberdare is that of Private William Lamb, who was in the 35th Australian Infantry Battalion, 5th reinforcement of the Allied Imperial Forces (AIF).

Private Lamb was born in Minmi, and attended Stockton Public School.

A miner at the Aberdare Extended Colliery,

Private Lamb enlisted at Rutherford on 12 September 1916, and embarked from Sydney aboard the HMAT Ascanius on 25 October 1916 to Devonport, United Kingdom.

On 9 June 1917, Private Lamb suffered gun shot wounds to the face, shoulder and thigh at Messines, Belgium. He died on 15 June 1917, aged 26 years.

Private Lamb was buried at Bailleul Communal Cemetery in France, and was survived by his wife, Edith, and their daughter Margaret. His brother, Aberdare resident Private David Lamb, who served in the 3rd Battalion and 1st Light Trench Mortar Battery, survived the war and returned to Australia on 5 April 1918. He died on 2 May 1956.

The Anzac Memorial Centenary Project Soil Collection is part of the state government’s upgrade to the Anzac Memorial in Hyde Park, Sydney during the Anzac centenary.

The upgrade is expected to be completed later this year.

Club’s ace new courts What a difference a year makes.

Mayfield’s Hillcrest Tennis Club was on the brink of collapse in February 2017 as its committee struggled to find the funds needed to resurface two ageing grass courts.

“We wouldn’t have had the grass renewed – we would’ve just played on until the end,” president Ray Johnson says.

“The lines were worn out, it wasn’t in a great condition.”

Luckily, Port Waratah Coal Services came to the rescue with a $40,000 grant.

Now, 12 months on, the historic club has celebrated the first anniversary of that generous contribution.

“The courts are really easy to run on and we’re ever so grateful to [Port Waratah],” club secretary Elva Osborne says.

“It was the biggest grant they’d provided last year.”

Hillcrest Tennis Club has proved popular ever since its establishment in the late 1930s.

Today, it boasts more than 40 members, hosts social events, and continues to lease the Newcastle council-owned property.

If you’d like to book the courts, or become a member, phone Ms Osborne on 4951 1429 or 0421 605 212.

cover story

Celebrate Chinese culture If you were born in 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, or 2006 – this is your year.

2018 is the Year of the Dog in the 12-symbol Chinese zodiac, and it’s significant for people born that year.

Chinese New Year is observed tomorrow (Friday 16 February) – a date that shifts each year with the lunar calendar.

It could fall as early as 20 January or as late as mid-February, so, even if you were born in the Year of the Dog, you might not possess the dog’s qualities if you celebrate your birthday in early January.

But the one auspicious date that remains the same each year in Chinese culture is 4 February, which signifies the start of spring, explains the Confucius Institute’s Chinese Director Jonathan Yi. “It is customary to wear red at this time for good luck, whether it be red underwear, a red

ribbon, or a necklace with a red chain,” says Mr Yi, whose role it is to promote Chinese language and culture in the Newcastle and Hunter Region.

“This is because our ancestors observed that wild animals were afraid of flames, and the colour of a flame is red – that’s why we burn firecrackers [at Chinese New Year].”

Regardless of whether or not you choose to wear red, the Year of the Dog is thought to be a challenging year for all dogs, who should pay careful attention to their lives.

Dogs would do well to make charitable gestures this year, such as giving blood. They should also avoid weddings and funerals.

But there is good news: 2018 is shaping up to be a positive year for dogs in terms of relationships.

If you’re a little dubious, Mr Yi encourages everyone to look around and see just how much

Chinese culture has influenced our own, including share plates and banquet meals – both important customs in China, where family outweighs the individual.

Observing and teaching not only Chinese, but Western culture is something Mr Yi has dedicated himself to for more than 30 years.

A self-professed “cultural bridge”, Mr Yi has taught English at the Central China Normal University in Wuhan, where he grew up; and spent time in Kansas in the USA as a Fulbright Scholar.

Now, he lectures English majors at the University of Newcastle’s Callaghan campus, where the Confucius Institute is based. The university sponsors the Light Up Newcastle Lantern Walk at Honeysuckle on Saturday 24 February.

Indigenous experience in focus Resolution: it’s a term that resonates with photographers, and with indigenous Australians.

So, it was the perfect name for the National Gallery of Australia’s travelling exhibition, RESOLUTION: new Indigenous photomedia, which wraps up two years on the road this month and next at Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery.

The National Gallery of Australia’s senior curator of photography, Shaune Lakin, said the exhibition incorporated photographic work, such as prints and collages, as well as videography.

“It provides an account of how indigenous artists are now using photomedia, and how they’re taking photos that speak to the indigenous experience,” Lakin said.

“It also attempts to make sense of the way their ancestors were subjected to photographic documentation in the 19th Century.

“The name ‘resolution’ is important to photographers, in that we’re concerned with how clear or unclear a photo is, but it also has significance for indigenous people given the country’s political and social history, as there are many things that, for indigenous people, are clearly unresolved.”

RESOLUTION: new Indigenous photomedia celebrates some of the most significant work made by indigenous photographers, videographers and multimedia artists in the past five years.

It features the work of 19 emerging and mid‑career indigenous artists, including Tony Albert, Brooke Andrew, Nici Cumpston, Danie Mellor, James Taylor, Christian Thompson and Jason Wing.

Even since the exhibition’s inception and its time spent on the road, Lakin said artists had seen the

photomedia artform develop further, in this context, as interpretations shifted.

“The way indigenous culture is portrayed in film and television, for instance, is changing, with supernatural and science fiction characters,” he said.

Mark Tinson has been called the godfather of Newcastle rock music.

In his 50 years as a performer and songwriter, he has toured the length and breadth of Australia with bands such as Rabbit, Heroes, Swanee, Tex Pistols and the Ted Mulry Gang (TMG).

As a record producer and sound engineer, he’s worked with some of the biggest names in Australian music and has mentored the Screaming Jets, Silverchair, and many other aspiring Novocastrian musicians.

Tinson has now documented his musical triumphs and failures in his autobiography Too Much Rock ‘n’ Roll. A Life in Music.

The book shares insights into his role in shaping the Newcastle musical landscape and is full of wry observations from within an often absurd industry.

Tinson also covers growing up in Maitland, and, of course, his recollection of the infamous riot at the Star Hotel on 19 September 1979. Tinson says the project “bubbled away” in the back of his mind for a number of years.

“I set myself a deadline [for the book] of my 64th birthday, which is a special milestone in rock circles,” he tells Newcastle Weekly.

Tinson credits legendary rock band Led Zeppelin and The Who

Mark Tinson with his new book.

Photo: Peter Stoop

guitarist Pete Townshend with having a major impact on his career.

“I bought a Led Zeppelin album when I was in year 10, played it, and went, ‘I don’t get it,’” he says.

“Then I saw them live and thought, ‘holy smokes, so that’s what it’s all about.’

“And, Pete Townshend wasn’t a lead guitar player, but he was a very intelligent writer and a great showman, which is everything that I wanted to be.”

Tinson’s book, which includes a bonus CD, can be purchased at Maclean’s Booksellers, Harry Hartog, McDonald’s bookshop (Maitland), The Edwards shop, Musos Corner and via marktinsonmusic.com - Ben Murphy

in the garden Awesome orchids

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

Orchids are greatly desired, the flavour of the month being Phalaenopsis.

This is likely due to its importation from Asian countries, which means it’s readily available all year round, unlike the Cymbidium orchid, which starts to bloom in May and sticks around only for the cooler months.

Phalaenopsis is the easiest orchid to grow indoors.

Caring for it isn’t difficult. Here are some hints: • Light is essential. Put your plant near an east or north-facing window – western sun can be too hot.

• The most-asked question is watering: don’t let potting mix dry out, but don’t overwater. Apply liquid fertiliser every seven to 14 days.

• Phalaenopsis does like humidity, which can be created by sitting the pot on a saucer of pebbles and water spray each morning with an atomiser.

February 16 – 22

PICK OF THE WEEK The Wolverine

The King’s Speech

Friday, 7MATE, 9pm, M (2013) Hugh Jackman (pictured) is back as a brooding Wolverine. Fit and fast as ever, this instalment is a vast improvement on predecessor X-Men Origins: Wolverine, as Wolverine is summoned to Japan, where he grapples with a deathly offer to transfer his powers and be reunited with his dead love Jean (Famke Janssen). A contemplative and dark affair that still manages to feature some top-notch action sequences, The Wolverine stands as a film to be enjoyed on its own merit.

Friday

Saturday, SBS, 9.20pm, (2010) Tom Hooper’s moving tale about the relationship between King George VI and an unorthodox Australian speech therapist is a feel-good tale wrapped up in royal intrigue. Colin Firth (pictured) delivers a terrific performance as the stammering king, struggling to overcome his impediment in order to present a composed, eloquent figure to the English public. Equally inspiring is Geoffrey Rush, whose quirky, cheeky Lionel Logue bounces brilliantly off the reserved, austere royal he is trying to help.

Brokeback Mountain

Monday, SBS VLND, 8.30pm, M (2005) With a stunning backdrop, a master director in Ang Lee and commanding performances from Heath Ledger (pictured) and Jake Gyllenhaal, this controversial cowboy yarn is near flawless. Lee’s classic begins in 1963, when a relationship blooms between a pair of Wyoming cowboys (Ledger and Gyllenhaal). As the summer ends, both men quickly marry, but their time at Brokeback Mountain proves too strong to forget and the pair try to sustain their relationship over the ensuing two decades.

FAMILY LAW PROBLEM? Want freedom from ongoing conflict?

Consider Collaborative Law If your matter is suitable we can contract with you and your ‘ex’ and their solicitor not to go to Court.

Instead we take a collaborative apporoach with the other side which is aimed at problem solving in a series of meetings. The meetings are aimed at achieving a negotiated outcome based on your needs. Your needs take priority.

NW0958

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

48

Mel Zambelis and Christine Iwaszkiewicz

The collaborative law model offers a fixed price to resolution at a fraction of

149A Adelaide Street Raymond Terrace | Ph: 4987 3844

the average cost to litigate a contentious matter.

Christine says “ in my experience handling hundreds of Family Law matters, a Collaborative approach causes the least trauma for people and has achieved the most happy outcomes. But it is not a ‘one size fits all’. At CMI Law Firm we adopt the best model for your situation whether that be collaborative law, mediation, negotiation or litigation. The alternatives are discussed at your initial consultation which costs only $82.50 upon mentioning this ad”.

Elizabeth’s intuition will be finely tuned throughout 2018. Work and career success depends upon her instincts. If she’s looking for better career opportunities, she needs to focus her attention on women who can help.

Her primary concern this coming year will be her home and family life. She may be thinking of renovations or a new home. Elizabeth has a way of being detached from others; however, she mustn’t withhold her feelings from loved ones as this will only cause frustration and resentment.

16 February 1989

ARIES: 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER: 22 JUN – 22 JUL

LIBRA: 24 SEP – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN: 22 DEC – 20 JAN

The New Moon on the 15th falls directly in your sign. It will make you feel that you would like to be treated like a king or a queen and fortunately, your nearest and dearest will be happy to fulfil your regal dreams and demands. Lucky you! A trip to the theatre or a riotous night out will be right up your alley.

The New Moon on the 15th indicates that a colleague could become a good friend and the chance to network could build valuable connections.

The planets will also encourage you to concentrate on your health and wellbeing as well as that of your family members.

The New Moon on the 15th is the ideal time to demonstrate with small gestures just how much your loved ones mean to you. Show your appreciation to them. Also, give in to any romantic impulse and let there be no uncertainty about the depth of your feelings.

The New Moon on the 15th is a tremendously exciting day as visitors drop in, the phone doesn’t stop ringing and the whole world seems desperate for your company.

If you’re feeling the urge to travel or visit new places, you need to get organised to make things happen.

TAURUS: 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO: 23 JUL – 23 AUG

SCORPIO: 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS: 21 JAN – 19 FEB

The New Moon on the 15th indicates that long distance connections or travel plans could change, but going with the flow and letting it all unfold will guide you. Also, surprise news will lead you to rethink a special personal project that has been attracting your attention.

The New Moon on the 15th is the ideal time for a fresh start at work; it also indicates that a visit to your local doctor may be in order to help you get on top of a worrying ailment.

And remember, there is more to life than silly arguments.

The New Moon on the 15th indicates that your confidence will be on a real high and you’ll be certain that you’re on the right path. A romance or relationship will begin to move in the right direction and you’ll have a real chance to sort out any misunderstandings.

VIRGO: 24 AUG – 23 SEP

You may wish to interfere in the life of a client or colleague and although your motives are good, you must accept everyone has their own decisions to make. The New Moon on the 15th indicates that a renewed understanding can be reached between you and your loved ones.

GEMINI: 22 MAY – 21 JUN The New Moon on the 15th indicates a highly enjoyable time is on the cards as the planets combine to put you in a romantic frame of mind. Established relationships will benefit from a renewed closeness. If you are single, this is an ideal time to find a soulmate.

The New Moon on the 15th indicates that a surprise turn of events romantically will keep you guessing.

At work, an ambitious project or plan will forge ahead and a cluster of extra chores will keep you busy. Be easy on yourself and don’t store up any stressful problems.

SAGITTARIUS: 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES: 20 FEB – 20 MAR The New Moon on the 15th indicates that any secrets around you will be secrets no longer, for you will be able to see straight through any deceit with little trouble. This should be an inspiring week that brings out inner abilities you didn’t know existed.

* *not available holiday periods

NW0780

The New Moon on the 15th brings the clarity you’ve been seeking in regards to your relationships.

There is still much work to be done and nothing is going to improve overnight; however the outlook is much brighter and you are on the right track.

My favourite things FAMILY Family is a key part of Chinese civilisation. Confucianism believes that the concept of family is as important as that of a nation or the world.

MY HIGH SCHOOL SPORT I was an athlete at high school.

This is a photo of me competing in triple jump in 1985.

JOGGING

Jonathan Yi

CHINESE DIRECTOR, CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE AT UNIVERSITY OF NEWCASTLE

I was born and raised in Wuhan, China. Ever since I started high school, I’ve been extremely interested in different cultures. In 1989, I started to teach English at Central China Normal University. Eight years later, I went to the United States with a Fulbright fellowship to study American history. After that I returned to China to continue to teach English, focusing on introducing western culture to Chinese students. In 2006, I went back to the USA to teach Chinese language and culture at the Confucius Institute (CI) at the University of Kansas, one the world’s earliest CIs. In May 2011, I came to Newcastle to work for UoN’s CI. My main responsibilities as the Chinese Director, besides teaching, include developing the CI language and culture courses, and engaging with the local community and schools in various forms, such as delivering courses, workshops, lectures, and other cultural activities.

Jogging has become my favourite way of exercising since I came to Newcastle seven years ago. I’ve jogged for more than 6,000 kilometres in Australia.

CONFUCIUS INSTITUTE AT UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, USA In January 2018 I visited the Confucius Institute at the University of Kansas, where I taught in 2006-2007.
