news Port’s push for terminal dream Chairman Roy Green says there will be “no letup” as the Port of Newcastle pushes to break the shackles of a privatisation contract imposed by the state government.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is investigating an anticompetitive deal struck prior to the sale of the port for $1.75 billion in 2014.

The deal reportedly blocks the development of a container terminal in Newcastle, forcing the world’s biggest coal port to pay a $100 fee per box moved to Sydney’s Port Botany once more than 30,000 containers are shifted within a year.

In contrast, Botany moves about two million boxes annually and has no capacity limit.

Professor Green believes there is “no good reason” for the contractual fee, other than to “maintain the monopoly of one port”.

“The ACCC has mounted a lessening of competition investigation so, if the government doesn’t voluntarily remove the artificial restrictions, they may be forced to anyway in a most unseemly way,” he says.

“The government said that a terminal [in

Newcastle] would be unviable – if that was the case, then what’s the point of the anti-competitive restrictions?

“Why shouldn’t Newcastle be competitive and achieve an optimal outcome for the public and for importers and exporters?”

Professor Green says data, prepared for the port by Deloitte Access Economics, shows that 87% of containers are initially transported to Greater Sydney for unpacking, but almost 30% end up in the Hunter and Northern NSW. He also states that exports sent via rail through Newcastle to Port Botany increases freight costs by between 30-50%, while travel by road adds an estimated $16 million a year in toll fares alone.

Professor Green claimed that a number of factors made Port Botany’s planned expansion “unsustainable”, despite the Commonwealth announcing this month it would fully fund the duplication of a rail line between Mascot and Botany at a cost of $400 million. “[The duplication] won’t take all the trucks off the road,” Professor Green says.

“It will still lead to massive congestion, as

well as increased tolls and increased costs for importers and exporters.

“It’s helpful, but it all undercuts the case for a container terminal in Newcastle.

“If the starting gun was fired today, there’s every chance we’d have a terminal up and running by 2022 – long before the very expensive infrastructure planned for Sydney would be completed.”

Newcastle state MP Tim Crakanthorp and Shadow Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight, Jodi McKay, criticised the impact of the state government’s privatisation deal on businesses and consumers.

Round bound by beanies Newcastle Knights great Mark Hughes hopes McDonald Jones Stadium will be awash with beanies on Sunday for the NRL Beanie for Brain Cancer Round.

The annual event supports the Mark Hughes Foundation – a charity established in 2014 after Hughes’ own battle with the illness.

This year’s NRL Beanie for Brain Cancer Round takes place from 24 to 27 May. Hughes says he wants to “do our very best” for the man behind the event, ex-Channel Nine rugby league boss Matt Callander, who passed away from brain cancer last October at the age of 46.

“It’s due to Matt – he really put this [NRL round] together,” Hughes says.

“Locally, we’ve had the full support of the Knights, from [chief executive] Phil Gardner,

LIMITED TIME ONLY

right down to the ball boys.

“The Knights have worked really hard to make the home game something special, so it’d be great to see as many people as possible there in beanies.”

On Monday, McDonald Jones Stadium was renamed Beanie for Brain Cancer Stadium for a week, while the Knights also launched a commemorative jersey.

Hughes, a dual premiership winner and NSW fullback, praised his “army of volunteers”. “[They] pack the beanies so they can be sent to people who’ve ordered them; a lot have family history with brain cancer and that’s their way of showing support,” he says.

Brain cancer is the leading cause of cancer fatalities in children and adults aged under 40 in Australia.

The Mark Hughes Foundation announced last month it would

contribute $2.5 million over the next five years to the Australian Brain Cancer Mission.

Each dollar will be matched by the federal government.

The Australian Brain Cancer Mission aims to double survival rates and improve quality of life.

“Nothing has changed in 20 years [with brain cancer],” Hughes says.

“So, we’ve got research going on

to improve outcomes for patients.

“I need it and so many other people need it, so we’re in a rush to do that.”

Apart from the NRL round, the Mark Hughes Foundation’s Beanie for Brain Cancer week will go from 4 to 8 June.

news Government funds for vital service

Replanting begins at foreshore

Crakanthorp puts pressure on premier

An innovative suicide prevention service trialled in Newcastle will continue after the federal government announced funding for a national rollout.

Since 2016, Hunter Primary Care has supported more than 1,000 people in their recovery from a suicide attempt through The Way Back Support Service.

The Newcastle site is currently funded by donations to beyondblue and The Movember Foundation, as well as the NSW Ministry of Health’s Suicide Prevention Fund.

Hunter Primary Care mental health executive, Katrina Delamothe, said the service had been vital in filling the gap in support for people after a suicide attempt.

“About 200 Australians attempt suicide every day and we know that up to a quarter of those who attempt suicide will re-attempt within 12 months,” she said.

“When they are discharged from hospital, The Way Back can provide practical, one-on-one support that links them to treatment and support networks.”

The federal government will provide $37.6 million in funding to beyondblue to expand The Way Back Support Service nationally.

Work is underway to plant 32 Norfolk Island pines along the eastern end of Newcastle’s Foreshore Park.

Newcastle council removed about 170 trees at the park last year, 100 of which were felled for the inaugural Newcastle 500 Supercars race.

The Norfolk Island pines are the first stage of plantings.

Broad-leaved lilly pillies, coastal banksias, native hibiscuses and kentia palms will also be planted throughout the foreshore precinct.

Lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes said the new trees, once fully grown, would provide 20 times more shade than what was previously available.

“The Newcastle 500 event allowed us to start implementing the adopted plans for Foreshore Park, and the new plantings align with the precinct’s future use as Newcastle’s major regional event space,” she said.

During stage one, trees will also be planted in front of Customs House, around the new Wharf Road car park, and on the northern side of Wharf Road near Horseshoe Beach Road.

Newcastle state MP Tim Crakanthorp has called on NSW premier Gladys Berejiklian to visit Hunter Street businesses that are hurting from the construction of the light rail project.

The premier will be in Newcastle on Friday 25 May to open the NeW Space building.

Mr Crakanthorp also urged Ms Berejiklian to match Newcastle council’s rate assistance plan, where commercial property owners will receive assistance of up to 50% of the special rate variance if they commit, in writing, to pass the savings on to small businesses operating on their premises. “[Newcastle] council has stepped in where the government should be,” Mr Crakanthorp said.

Welcome to your new home...

“They are offering assistance to businesses affected by the light rail project that the government owns.

“The premier will be at the NeW Space campus, mere metres from businesses affected by the light rail.

“I have written to the premier asking her to visit those businesses and speak to the owners.”

Round of a-paws for dog park

‘Quality’ volunteer recognised A “generous” and “thoughtful” man will today receive the inaugural Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Chairman’s Medal during National Volunteer Week.

Camp Quality volunteer Damian Charleson has raised more than $100,000 for children impacted by cancer and has helped develop new fundraising events for the charity, including an annual corporate golf day and Moto Cyc – a threeday motorcycle ride.

“Damian has never said ‘no’ to one of our requests for support or advice,” Michelle Young from Camp Quality said. “[He] is generous in giving his time and he has tirelessly supported kids and their families.”

Created to honour the late Michael Slater, who was both chairman of Newcastle Permanent Building Society and its charitable foundation, the Chairman’s Medal recognises the achievements and contributions of an outstanding volunteer.

who echoed Mr Slater’s qualities, as a volunteer of almost 35 years. “[Damian] has, in the foundation board’s view, shown these same qualities that Michael cherished,” Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation chairman, Phil Neat, said.

As well as the medal, Damian will receive a $3,000 grant for Camp Quality.

Lake Macquarie council’s first fenced dog park is now open at Speers Point.

Located across from Walters Park, the new facility, complete with dog agility equipment, provides a safe setting where people can exercise and socialise with their dogs.

“It’s a lovely green open space with shaded and sunny areas, mature trees and outdoor furniture for owners to relax on while their dogs run off a bit of steam,” Lake Macquarie mayor, Kay Fraser, said.

“Nearly one-third of the feedback we received from recent community consultation on our new Dogs in Open Space Policy related to the need for fenced dog parks and dog owners’ preference for exercise areas to be segregated from cyclists, playgrounds, roads and other areas of high activity.”

Dogs are welcome on-lead in all areas of the park. Work to improve the car parking area adjacent to the Speers Point fenced dog park will be completed by late 2018.

Planning is also underway for a fenced dog park at Croudace Bay’s Thomas H Halton Park.

Council eyes key projects

Centre’s plea for support All they could do was watch as the beach washed away.

In January, severe storms lashed the Hunter’s coastline, with large surf and tides causing more than 15 metres of Stockton Beach to disappear.

Mission Australia’s Early Learning Centre, which is housed in the former Stockton Surf Lifesaving clubhouse, lost part of its outdoor space, making a large section of the yard inaccessible.

Now, the charity has asked for community support to build a new outdoor space.

It hopes to raise $40,000 by 30 June so the yard can be completed and ready in time for spring.

General manager, Ben Williams, says donations will go towards providing children with access to a

“stimulating, natural environment that fosters their sense of wellbeing, wonder and belonging”.

“The storms, large surf and big tides left less than one metre of beach to the edge of the centre,” he says.

“It was quite upsetting as only two months prior we had completed a major upgrade to the yard.

“It was custom designed and perfect for early learning, with natural features, fresh air, and open

space.” Plans to move the current yard’s features to a new location at the side of the property have been submitted to Newcastle council.

Mr Williams says the charity needs help to put it into action.

“It would be fantastic to see the community rally behind us to help rebuild our outdoor spaces for local children to enjoy,” he says.

It’s played a pivotal role in the Hunter Region for more than 40 years.

But Hunter Multicultural Communities (HMC), formerly known as the Ethnic Communities Council, decided it needed an overhaul.

“The [previous] name had stuck and people hadn’t moved on with the new name,” HMC chief executive, Annette Gebhardt, said.

“The word ‘ethnic’ has negative connotations, so one of the funding bodies in Multicultural NSW adapted the name so we were in line with newer and more accepted terminology.

“We’re a diverse region with a rich history of multiculturalism, so we want to harness and celebrate that.”

In February, HMC launched a competition that called upon local schools and colleges to design a new logo with a sense of meaning.

organisation wanted to re-engage with the community.

“We support communities from the Polish to African, as well as new and existing migrant communities in the region,” she said.

“The idea [behind the competition] was to seek views and ideas and get the perspective of the younger generation on what their understanding is and what we reflect.”

news Food waste salvaged Lake Macquarie residents can dispose of food waste in their green-lidded bins from 30 July.

This includes leftovers, meat, seafood, dairy, bones, as well as fruit and vegetable scraps.

The change comes with the introduction of Lake Macquarie council’s Food+Garden=Green service, which is expected to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill from red-lidded general waste bins by as much as one-third.

Under the greener three-bin system, food scraps will go into the green bin, along with garden waste, to be collected from kerbsides weekly instead of fortnightly.

The organic matter will then be processed into high-quality mulch and compost at the council’s new organics processing facility,

set to open in mid-July, to be used on parks, gardens, sporting grounds, and in agriculture.

From June, the council will deliver household starter kits, which include a food scraps bin for the kitchen benchtop and a roll of compostable bags.

Residents will simply need to transfer the compostable bags into their green bins every few days, ready for collection.

The program’s introduction follows a 66-day trial in 2016, which saw more than two tonnes of food waste diverted from landfill.

End of an era as museum closes

Tech boost keeps men connected A little companionship goes a long way for sociallyisolated men.

And, now, a $53,000 Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation grant has helped Raymond Terrace Men’s Shed “stand out among men’s sheds”.

The grant helped fund a brand-new, dedicated computer and technology classroom at Boomerang Park.

The state-of-the-art fit-out included new equipment such as cabling and servers, new computers, large monitors and a projector for bigger groups, as well as network equipment to enable easy future upgrades.

About 20 members participate in the regular Computer and Technology Group sessions that are held in the new classroom.

Jeff Hazzard, a retired school principal, teaches the classes along with ex-Air Force computer technician Andrew Murray.

“The aim of the Computer and Technology class is to help men overcome their fear of technology, particularly for those men who may have had little to do with technology during their working life,” Mr Hazzard said.

“One of our members, well into his eighties, was able to progress from having little knowledge of computers to creating a DVD slide of his family holiday photos

accompanied by music.

“A teacher never retires.”

Raymond Terrace Men’s Shed president, Bob Bull, who volunteered during the classroom fit-out, said the men’s shed’s extensive range of activities set it apart from the rest.

“In addition to our brand-new technology room, we offer music, fishing, cards, social outings, gardening, and of course we also provide the traditional woodwork and metalwork activities,” Mr Bull said.

The Newcastle Maritime Museum Society has wound up operations this week.

President Ian Jones said the decision to close the museum in Honeysuckle was regrettable, but the right course of action.

“Ultimately, the prohibitive cost of running the museum, coupled with the fact that the museum heavily relied on volunteers and donations, made it impossible to continue to operate in a sustainable manner,” he said.

“We are working with creditors to ensure all debts are paid and appreciate their patience as we complete this process.”

The heritage-listed building’s landowners, Hunter Development Corporation, stated it was working with port stakeholders to find appropriate storage facilities.

Northstars on the rise It’s been a rollercoaster start to the 2018 Australian Ice Hockey League season for the Newcastle Northstars.

An opening day defeat, 4-3 in a shootout to the Sydney Ice Dogs, was followed by back-toback losses to Canberra Brave.

But, after snatching a breakthrough win over the Ice Dogs, the Northstars have since marched up the AIHL ladder.

Captain Bert Malloy says the squad is still a “work in progress” as players adapt to a coaching shake-up in the off-season, with Joe Theriault, Ray Sheffield and general manager Garry Doré all sharing responsibilities under a new associate program.

“Ray is taking care of the defence and Joe is looking after the offence,” Malloy tells Newcastle Weekly.

“It’s good that it is a bit more specialised; obviously every coach

is going to have a different style and philosophy but, right now, we’re just taking it week-by-week and we’ll see what works.

“We trust them for sure.”

The Northstars’ rise to second on the ladder has coincided with the return of five players from international duty earlier this month.

Malloy, goaltender Charlie Smart, and defenders Richie Tesarik, Robert Haselhurst and Mat Lindsay all missed the start of the campaign after representing Australia at the IIHF World Championship in the Netherlands.

Malloy says the squad is now focused on consistency as Newcastle targets a seventh Goodall Cup. “Having all five guys back in the line-up really bolsters us, so we’re firing on all cylinders and I’m looking forward to the rest of the season,” he says.

The Newcastle Northstars’ squad for the 2018 Australian Ice Hockey League season.

“It’s good to have Dayne [Davis] back in the net as well, he’s a real difference-maker, and him and Charlie [Smart] are pushing each other.

“Looking at last year, there were a lot of key injuries and inconsistencies; if we can put together a full game without taking a shift or period off, then we’ll see success here pretty soon.”

Born and raised in the US state of Connecticut, Malloy joined the Northstars in 2015 and became the club’s fourth captain a year later.

He reserved special praise for the region’s support during his time in Newcastle.

“It’s really flattering to have such an awesome crowd here,” he says.

“I’m getting noticed out in public [plus] I work in hospitals and the nursing staff say they’ve seen me on TV and in newspapers, so it’s really cool.”

The Northstars will face Melbourne Mustangs this Saturday 26 May from 5pm at Hunter Ice Skating Stadium.

Prior to the team’s trip to South Australia, Newcastle’s general manager Garry Doré spoke about the dynamics that had formed within the squad.

“I’m really enjoying the player dynamics between Pat Nadin, Liam Manwarring, Matt Wetini and Shane Southwood,” he said.

“Those young guys are really stepping up and competing with the best in the league.”

On Saturday night, Newcastle fell at the final hurdle in a shootout, after responding well to a fiery Adrenaline side that was determined to farewell club legend Greg Oddy in style.

At the end of the third period, two quick goals from Nick Rivait and Zane Jones saw the Northstars level the score at 5-all, sending the game to a shootout.

Despite the narrow 6-5 defeat, Newcastle gained swift revenge on Sunday as a Jones double and further goals to Nadin and Rivait secured a 4-2 win.

Roy O’Donovan’s flying kick on Melbourne goalkeeper Lawrence Thomas in the dying stages of the A-League grand final. Photo: Getty Images

Double Beef ‘n Bacon Burger, Small Fries & Small Coke® Available from 10:30am – 2:00pm

Jets forward Roy O’Donovan has been handed a 10-match ban for his ugly challenge on Melbourne Victory goalkeeper Lawrence Thomas during Newcastle’s 1-0 loss in the A-League grand final.

O’Donovan caught Thomas in the face with a flying kick in the 93rd minute of the decider at McDonald Jones Stadium.

The challenge sparked outrage from Melbourne and saw O’Donovan red carded.

Football Federation Australia (FFA) informed Newcastle last week that its Independent Disciplinary and Ethics Committee had issued the Irishman with a suspension of 10 A-League matches and/or FFA Cup matches.

The Jets subsequently expressed their disappointment at the verdict.

“The Newcastle Jets are

extremely disappointed at the outcome of this hearing and will immediately lodge an appeal on O’Donovan’s behalf,” a statement said.

“The club would like to thank the Professional Footballers Association (PFA) for their support of Roy during this process, and their tireless work in building his defence.

“The club will make no further comment on the matter at this time, and will await advice from the FFA on the details of an appeal hearing.”

In more positive news for the club, Venezuelan international Ronny Vargas has extended his stay in the Hunter, with Newcastle securing his services for next season.

- Ben Murphy

Ponga shines but Knights falter When Newcastle fullback Kalyn Ponga sprinted clear for a brilliant, length-of-the-field solo try, it appeared the Knights were set to snap a two-match skid.

But a determined Gold Coast outfit steamrolled the visitors in the final 20 minutes at Cbus Super Stadium on Saturday to consign Newcastle to a 33-26 defeat.

Despite trailing by eight points

just past the hour mark, the Titans kept coming and snatched the lead with five minutes to go after Alexander Brimson dived over in the corner.

Gold Coast halfback Ashley Taylor then slotted a field goal to secure the win.

Newcastle will play Cronulla this Sunday 27 May at McDonald Jones Stadium. Kick-off is at 2pm.

Rock legends return

Four decades after the release of their sophomore album, The Angels have embarked on a 20-date nationwide tour.

Performing at Belmont 16s on Saturday 9 June, the band is paying homage to the album that made a lasting imprint on Australian music: Face to Face.

The album kickstarted an era of pub rock, and, in 1978 when it was released, it could be heard in backyards all over the country, and would be for some time to come.

Face to Face was described as a watershed for The Angels, and changed the way Australian bands toured.

The Brewster brothers and Doc Neeson wrote epic rock songs that

were made for live audiences, such as Take A Long Line, Marseilles, After the Rain and Be With You. “It’s impossible to describe the atmosphere of those days, but it will be amazing to celebrate this album 40 years on,” John Brewster said. “[The tour is] a celebration and a tip of the hat to the two members of the gang who are no longer with us: Doc and Chris Bailey.”

Face to Face stayed on the charts for a marathon year-and-a-half.

For the group, it was and always has been about the live music, and that’s why they’re taking Face to Face on the road again. The two-hour show features two sets: the complete album plus all The Angels classics.

Tickets available via 16s.com.au

Leaving a stamp on history School band When we think of collectables, stamps often spring to mind.

A few decades ago, most households boasted a stamp collection: carefully soaked off envelopes and stuck to pages in neat rows.

Packets of stamps, with the names Ampol or Seven Seas, were sold for those who wanted to collect more stamps than they received on their mail.

But with the advent of email, just how common are stamp collections nowadays, and are they worth anything?

Find out at the Newcastle Stamp and Coin Expo at Newcastle Showground Exhibition Centre from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 May. Featuring a national exhibition by the Newcastle Philatelic Society in celebration of its centenary, the expo will bring together 27 stamp and coin dealers from across

Australia, including two major auction houses.

Attendees can have their unwanted stamps, coins, tokens, medals, medallions and postcards valued and sold.

But the expo is not just for people wanting to offload collectables; it’s for anyone interested in stamps and coins.

There will be many displays to marvel at, plus Australia Post is attending with special souvenir products and postmarks for sale.

The Newcastle Philatelic Society has also produced centenary souvenirs. There’s free entry, with an old penny given to every entrant and a packet of stamps to the first 200 entrants each day.

The expo will be held from 10am to 5pm Friday and Saturday, and 9am to 3pm on Sunday.

NEWCASTLE G & S PLAYERS The Comedy Club presents

Participation in Thornton Public School’s music program has more than doubled in the past three years, thanks to a $15,000 sponsorship

by AVID Property Group’s Harvest development at Chisolm.

The sponsorship has helped reduce tuition costs for students and fostered a greater interest in music.

There are now 100 children in the school’s Harvest Rock Ensemble, with tutorials running every day of the week. The school has added two extra bands to the program and bought new drums for a marching corps.

“All the children are passionate about the platform and work so hard,” Thornton Public School’s assistant principal and band coordinator, Petra Yager, said.

“Harvest’s involvement has supported the children in a handson activity.”

Why Replace It? Raise It!

BEFORE

True blue May is an ideal time to plant colour in the garden for winter.

One of my favourites, but also the most unusual colour in the garden, is blue – I mean real blue.

Often mauve and purple are counted on the blue colour spectrum, such as the purple Tibouchina Alstonville and lavender.

Annuals provide actual shades of blue that are easily available during autumn. Lobelia ‘Blue Eyes’ is ideal as a border to highlight the bright yellow of African Queen Marigolds planted in front of a tall backdrop of blue salvia.

Delphinium and cornflower are true blues, which can be bordered by white pansies or primula.

These combinations also look superb in pots.

Pansies and violas are an excellent example of the blue colour confusion; dark-blue varieties really are quite purple, while many lighter

shades are in fact lavender.

True-blue pansies do exist; to find them I suggest buying them when in flower. One of the prettiest blue plants often overlooked because it needs to be controlled is plumbago – a shrub that is great for hedging.

Seek out ‘Royal Cape’.

• Remember to pop cyclamen out at night in a sheltered spot – they love the cold.

• Give roses a boost with Sudden Impact, but do not consider pruning them; it is too early!

What is a weather proof box? For an alternative installation to a false fireplace, the Rinnai 950 & 1250 can be installed into a weatherproof box. A cavity is cut into the existing blank wall and the fireplace is installed onto a bracket that allows the back of the fire to sit outside housed in a tightly sealed box. This option allows the fire to be built into an existing wall without taking up any extra space in the room.

PICK OF THE WEEK Love And Mercy Friday, SBS, 8.30pm, (2015) When you think of the Beach Boys, images of surf, sand and matching Hawaiian shirts are likely to spring to mind. But in this fascinating biopic about frontman Brian Wilson (played across generations by Paul Dano, pictured, and John Cusack), we get an insight into his musically brilliant mind that fell deeper and deeper into psychosis in the 1960s. By the 1980s, Wilson was broken and confused, supported by controversial therapist Dr Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti) and future wife Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks).

Friday

The Big Short

The Avengers Sunday, 7MATE, 8.40pm, M (2012) Aussie Chris Hemsworth, as Norse god Thor, joins an all-star line-up of Marvel superheroes out to save the world in director Joss Whedon’s amped-up blockbuster. Called into service by special agent Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), the dysfunctional star squad – including Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), The Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson, pictured) and Captain America (Chris Evans) – must go up against evil villain Loki (Tom Hiddleston), while also overcoming the group’s internal conflicts.

Saturday, WIN, 8.45pm, M (2015) Bold, ambitious, bursting with talent and wit, Adam McKay’s (Anchorman) epic, fast and intelligent revue of the 2008 Wall Street meltdown will leave you exhilarated by its panache and fuming at the greediness and arrogance of banks. Starring Christian Bale, Steve Carell (pictured), Ryan Gosling, Brad Pitt and Marisa Tomei, McKay makes the complications of the credit crunch easy to understand as we follow several parallel stories, beginning with hedge fund manager Michael (Bale) recognising that the US housing market is in a bubble, and betting on its demise.

INTRODUCING JUNIOR

URGENT

Junior is a 9 month old Kelpie x who is adorable and energetic boy.

He can sit but is still working on the “outside” command as he loves to be indoors with us. He is a very affectionate dog who loves to give you kisses and just wants to be with you, really needs a family that would include him in their lives. Junior will sit with you on the lounge, have a sleep with you and just wants to be near you. We haven’t had him off the leash so he will need work and training on his recall. Junior is very happy to go for walks and generally seems to love other dogs.

His ideal home would be with kids maybe a bit older 10+ that will exercise and play with him or a young active couple that have plenty of love to give as he will lap that up. For more information or to meet Junior, please contact his foster carer Ann-Maree on 0411 700 821 or annmaree64@hotmail.com Junior is in foster care in Newcastle area, NSW and is available for adoption interstate.

Foster carers urgently needed. You get support and you don’t pay vet or food bills. Contact Annette on: 0404 099 021

Contact MDRE Today Ph 4967 2004 www.mdre.com.au www.markdowling.com.au www.ratemyagent.com.au

ARIES: 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER: 22 JUN – 22 JUL

LIBRA: 24 SEP – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN: 22 DEC – 20 JAN

May is a time for inner growth and for finding out what makes you happy. The 29 May Full Moon indicates your love life could become confusing. You’re too bright not to know what is happening, but you may choose to delude yourself into looking for more innocent motives.

The Full Moon on the 29th indicates that you need to be careful of jumping to conclusions when dealing with colleagues. Spend a little more time caring for yourself, as it’s likely some of your friends will drain you of energy with their own personal problems.

The Full Moon on the 29th falls directly in your 3rd house and is a clear indication that you should take care whilst travelling; public transport could let you down and minor accidents whilst driving are also possible. Proceed with caution and you will avoid any kind of mishap.

The Full Moon on the 29th indicates you may suffer from the tendency to give into excess with food and drink and perhaps insufficient sleep.

There’s no reason that you can’t enjoy yourself, but try to keep things in proportion, otherwise you will find yourself incapacitated.

TAURUS: 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO: 23 JUL – 23 AUG

SCORPIO: 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS: 21 JAN – 19 FEB

The Full Moon on the 29th indicates that you need to stand up for yourself when involved in a conversation or discussion and not to allow others to think that they have control over you.

Use your innate skills of perception to sort out what’s real and what isn’t.

Venus in Gemini indicates you may be putting a casual relationship onto a more serious footing. The 29 May Full Moon indicates you should not give into jealousy; don’t overlook the possibility that your own wayward tendencies may be causing heartache in return.

The Full Moon on the 29th falls in your financial sector and indicates that unexpected expenses, a misplaced credit card or a disagreement about money could cause you concern. If you find life is frustrating this week, turn that energy towards the gym or going for a run.

The Full Moon on the 29th indicates you desperately need someone to point you in the right direction and smooth the path ahead. Otherwise it will be very tough going. Friends and colleagues are ready to go but you’ll have to find more stamina if you’re to keep up.

GEMINI: 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

VIRGO: 24 AUG – 23 SEP

SAGITTARIUS: 23 NOV – 21 DEC

PISCES: 20 FEB – 20 MAR

The Full Moon on the 29th is making tempers flare and your patience may be paper thin. Be wary of confiding in someone because they may not keep your confidence. You’ll be happy to have some time to yourself; this will be a good opportunity to recharge your batteries.

The Full Moon on the 29th warns you of troubles on the home front, so there could be misunderstandings which set you back. Try to take these in your stride and don’t magnify small irritants into major dramas.

Things will return to normal in no time.

The Full Moon on the 29th falls directly in your sign indicating you have a tendency to be too dominant in your circle of friends which won’t be appreciated; in fact you could lose a close companion over it. Allow others to have their say and respect their wishes.

The Full Moon on the 29th indicates that someone important at work is not laying his or her cards on the table honestly. It’s important that you be protective of your own interests.

You’ll be busy playing peacemaker but won’t be able to keep this act up for long.

LAKE MACQUARIE I love being out on the lake. I kayak a lot but I also really enjoyed the adrenalin rush of getting out on a high-speed jet ski before the Lake Macquarie PWC (Personal Watercraft) Race Series last year.

My favourite things WALKING I try to walk every morning but the mayoral schedule does not always allow it.

I use the shared pathway around Lake Macquarie and my favourite part is the Red Bluff boardwalk at Eleebana.

ARCHIE My moodle Archie is a bit of a pampered pooch but we love him to bits. He had a ball at the opening of the new fenced dog park at Speers Point recently. He even got on television!

Kay Fraser

LAKE MACQUARIE MAYOR

Kay Fraser is the mayor of Lake Macquarie and has lived in the city for more than 40 years. She is serving her fourth term on Lake Macquarie council and was elected mayor in September 2016. Her first 20 months in office have been a whirlwind – from scooting across Lake Macquarie on the back of a jet ski to promote the Lake Mac Big Weekend, to cheering on her city’s team of young athletes at the International Children’s Games in Lithuania in 2017. Cr Fraser is passionate about social justice and ensuring that everybody in the community has access to necessary services. The mayor prides herself on her approachable manner and willingness to roll up her sleeves and pitch in at community events.

WHITE WINE

FAMILY I love spending time with family, and that time is even more precious now that my working life is so busy. My husband, Carey, and I visited Taronga Zoo with our grandsons Toby and Jack earlier this year and had a fabulous time.

A nice Hunter Valley white wine to wind down with at the end of a busy week is my idea of bliss – but just one or two glasses. I’m partial to a Tulloch Verdelho, especially while watching the sun set over the lake.
