This week...

From the editor How nice it was on Monday morning to step outside and smell freshly-drenched earth. It had been a while; that much I could tell by how it hit me square in the face. I really feel for Hunter farmers who are struggling in this drought, but it has been reassuring to see all the community support since the state and federal governments’ drought relief packages made headlines.

It’s all we Novocastrians can do to get behind those who need it most when times are tough. Take Shane Worrall, a local truckie who spawned an idea – during his lunch break, no less – to take matters into his own hands. He created the Fill A Truck For Farmers campaign, and, sure enough, his goodwill has materialised into practical help in the form of food, water, and toiletry donations. Here’s a guy who believes in doing good, not for recognition, but just because he can. Read more about that initiative on pages 10 and 11.

I’d like to take one last opportunity to publicly thank all of those who sponsored me in the Leaders Leap fundraiser for the Westpac Rescue Helicopter Service. With your help, I’ve met and exceeded my goal to raise $2,500, and, by the time most of you read this, I will have made good on my pledge to abseil down the face of McDonald Jones Stadium. I couldn’t have done it without you.

news Adelaide’s shirt crusade The constant needles and medicines were a struggle for little Adelaide Gurr as she battled Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

After her diagnosis in January 2016, aged just three, Adelaide’s family, based in Raworth, decided to design a shirt that had a zip sewn into the chest.

The ‘porty shirt’, as Adelaide called it, allowed nurses to easily access her port-a-cath – a device used to draw blood and provide treatments – and helped her feel more comfortable as she didn’t need to remove her shirt.

From there, the Adelaide.Pray.

Love Porty Shirt Crusade was born.

Adelaide’s mother, Kirran Gurr, said the initiative aimed to “pay it forward” for other children who were experiencing cancer treatment.

“We decided to initially make a

porty shirt for all children in John Hunter Hospital,” she said.

“That goal was achieved in three weeks and now we have made, and sent, porty shirts for all children undergoing treatments, not only for cancer but [also] haemophilia and other illnesses, to oncology units Australia-wide.

“Adelaide.Pray.Love has a strong community that sew, donate zips and shirts, and deliver them.

“We have sewers in Melbourne, Sydney and even Perth.

“We give our shirts free-ofcharge when people contact us, and we rely on donations.

“It’s not okay to be diagnosed with cancer at any age and, if we can, as a community, relieve some stress for someone, then our hard work is worth it.”

To date, more than 2,200 porty shirts have been distributed, while

Welcome to your new home...

shirts are also being designed for adults undergoing cancer treatment.

As for Adelaide, she’s now six years old, has started kindergarten and, despite experiencing a few side effects from almost 800 days of chemotherapy, is cancer-free.

Mrs Gurr said her family had grown to appreciate each day.

“Our family feels overwhelmed with the love and support so many people have shown us,” she said.

“We learned anything is possible and to take nothing for granted.”

news University’s zero-tolerance approach

Legacy in tact

The University of Newcastle (UoN) has stepped up its efforts to improve support for survivors of sexual assault and harassment and expand prevention strategies in the wake of an Australian Human Rights Commission report.

The release, and subsequent recommendations, of the Change the Course report in August 2017 formed part of the ongoing ‘Respect. Now. Always’ initiative – a sector-wide strategy devised to deliver meaningful and lasting change.

The university stated its actions during the past 12 months aligned with the commission’s nine recommendations.

These included a vice-chancellor advisory group; education, communication and resources; support services and reporting processes; university policies

The history of the former Newcastle Co-operative Store will be reflected in the $200 million redevelopment of the site.

A Heritage Interpretation Strategy has been endorsed as demolition works on the existing structure starts this month.

The strategy proposes The Store’s legacy is recognised through options including interpretation, architectural echoes of the former building, and an oral history of the site.

Revitalising Newcastle program director, Michael Cassel, said demolition was expected to be completed by the end of the year, with the new bus interchange operational in 2020.

The state government bought the site in 2015 and The Store’s demolition was approved under a review of environmental factors.

and response pathways; staff and student training in responding to disclosures; confidential collection of disclosures and reports and the use of data for continuous improvement; counselling services; commitment to future surveys; and residential colleges.

Vice-chancellor Caroline McMillen said UoN took a zerotolerance approach to sexual assault and harassment.

“We’re proud to be a part of the global movement to stamp out sexual assault and harassment and to provide greater support for survivors,” she said.

“Over the past year, we have been listening to the brave voices in our student community, redoubling our education and prevention strategies, and improving our support systems for survivors.

“We’re determined to continue to

work with our community to ensure that every university student feels safe, welcome, and lives without fear of sexual assault or harassment.”

Over the past year, UoN made consent training compulsory for all students; reviewed and updated reporting procedures to make it easier for survivors to access; established a new counselling triage service, ensuring students receive help as quickly as possible; provided staff most likely to receive disclosures with specialist information and training; worked to develop new guidelines on interaction between staff and students; and completed a check-in with UoN residences.

Members of the university’s community are encouraged to reach out through the UoN’s Campus Care service.

news Port CEO pushes terminal

A concept design of the proposed Newcastle container terminal at Mayfield.

The Port of Newcastle’s newlyappointed chief executive, Craig Carmody, has committed to the development of a world-class container terminal.

Mr Carmody, who assumed the role after Geoff Crowe’s resignation, said the terminal would boost jobs and business opportunities in the Hunter Region and dramatically reduce the number of trucks on Sydney’s roads through the expanded use of Newcastle’s rail connectivity.

“The potential for a container terminal in Newcastle to diversify and grow the NSW economy is far bigger than the [state] government seems to realise,” he said.

Mr Carmody added the port had received interest from “domestic

and global players”.

“However, we cannot proceed while the state government imposes an artificial restriction on port competition,” he said.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) is investigating a constraint placed on the Port of Newcastle by the state government.

The deal, struck prior to the port’s $1.75 billion sale in 2014, reportedly imposes a $100 fee on the world’s largest coal port for every box moved to Sydney’s Port Botany once more than 30,000 containers are shifted within a year. The Port of Newcastle believes a terminal will reduce freight and infrastructure costs, as well as port congestion.

Hunter schools at capacity NSW Labor took a swipe at the state government after Freedom of Information documents revealed nearly 40% of schools across the Hunter were at capacity.

The documents showed 48% of schools in Cessnock had reached capacity, while Charlestown was at 32%, Maitland 45%, Newcastle 37%, Port Stephens 38%, Swansea 40%, the Upper Hunter 34%, and Wallsend 32%.

Earlier this year, NSW Labor also pointed to documents that highlighted almost 4,200 demountables across the state were more than 20 years old.

Shadow Minister for the Hunter,

Kate Washington, said the state government had the wrong priorities.

“Students in the Hunter deserve better than being crowded in cramped classrooms or forced to learn in demountables,” she said.

“The government refuses to build the extra schools we need to cope with the Hunter’s increasing population.

“The Hunter contributes almost a third of our state’s economy – we’re not getting our fair share.”

NSW Labor claimed the state government had failed to deliver on education minister Rob Stokes’ promise to build a dozen new schools each year.

news Community rallies to help farmers

Shane Worrall at Speers Point Park ahead of the Fill A Truck For Farmers event. Photo: Peter Stoop

When Shane Worrall hatched a plan on his lunch break to help the region’s drought-stricken farmers, he never imagined it would gain this much traction.

Mr Worrall, a truck driver from Lake Macquarie, has taken time off work to “sort out the logistics” after an overwhelming response to his Fill A Truck For Farmers campaign.

“Boxes need to be packed properly; we need loading machines; and just from the distribution and money side of things too – we’re not an organisation,” he told Newcastle Weekly.

Mr Worrall said his idea came from what he saw as a lack of support for struggling farmers at government level.

With 99% of NSW deemed to be in drought, he believed farmers needed urgent help and vowed to keep delivering items once the first stop was completed at Coonabarabran, in the state’s Central West.

“I’m very anti-government at the moment, so this gives me a platform to do what I want and show that there doesn’t have to be something in it [for oneself] to help others,” he said.

Lake Mac, your greener 3-bin service starts now

“We will go from here [Lake Macquarie] to there and nothing gets touched on the way – 100% of what’s donated will reach the farmers.”

The state government announced a further $500 million Emergency Drought Relief Package last week, which took its total drought support past the $1 billion mark.

The three major elements of the package included about $190 million for drought transport subsidies; around $110 million to cut the cost of farming fees and charges; and $150 million to bolster the Farm Innovation Fund (FIF) infrastructure program.

The federal government also announced this week that families, under the existing Farm Household Allowance (FHA) scheme, will receive two lump-sum payments, with couples in a household able to claim up to an additional $12,000 and singles eligible for up to $7,200.

The FHA threshold cap was raised from $2.6 million to $5 million to make it easier for farmers to access the payment.

It took the federal government’s drought relief package to $576 million.

Despite these announcements, Mr Worrall believed much more needed to be done.

“I’ve been speaking with the farmers and they aren’t getting much out of it,” he said.

The Fill A Truck For Farmers event will take place on Saturday 11 August from 10am until about 3pm at Speers Point Park.

Donations can consist of non-perishable food and household items, petrol vouchers, pet food,

bottled water, and toiletries.

However, Mr Worrall said organisers had also considered the impact on businesses in droughtaffected areas.

“We’re trying to steer clear of collecting food and such products from now on and go towards things like prepaid debit cards,” he said.

“We don’t want to negatively affect local businesses and take away from shop owners.

“We’ve got a limitless amount of trucks; people have contacted me from so many companies, so I’ve got no idea how many trucks we will fill.”

For those who are unable to make it to the park on the day, there will be other donation drop-off zones.

These include: Hunter Valley Pallets at Cameron Park, from 7am to 2pm, Monday to Friday; Toronto Diggers from 9am until closing; Storage King Hamilton, Maitland and North Wyong; and Beresfield Bowling Club from 8.30am to 8.30pm.

Visit the event’s Facebook page, ‘Fill A Truck For Farmers’, to receive regular updates.

Meanwhile, a whole host of organisations have jumped on board and pledged to make donations over the past few weeks.

Members of the Australian Hotels Association Newcastle Hunter teamed up with hoteliers across the state in a bid to raise more than $150,000 for struggling farmers, while Coles, Woolworths, Bunnings and the Return and Earn’s network operator, TOMRA, also showed their support.

Leading charity St Vincent de Paul launched a drought appeal this week, while donations poured in for the Buy A Bale campaign (go to buyabale. com.au).

news Baking for a good paws It’s fondly known as a “foster fail” – where carers take in a rescue animal, only to wind up adopting them.

That’s exactly what happened when RSPCA Hunter Shelter customer service officer, Melanie Harris, met Arlo, the three-legged Ragdoll cat.

After badly injuring his leg, presumably in a car accident, Arlo was taken to the Illawarra

Arlo during his postsurgery recovery.

shelter early last year.

That February, Melanie answered the shelter’s urgent call for a foster carer, to oversee Arlo’s recovery after he underwent surgery to amputate his leg.

She welcomed him with open arms into her Aberglasslyn home.

“The first month was about gaining his trust,” Melanie told Newcastle Weekly.

“It took three or four months for him to be fully confident. Then, he had to learn how to walk again; he kept overcompensating and would lose his balance.

“After all of this, I couldn’t bear to part with him. I had always wanted a Ragdoll, and I just fell in love with him.”

Arlo’s story is a heartwarming illustration of the vital work the RSPCA does – predominantly made possible by public donations and fundraising campaigns, like the upcoming RSPCA Cupcake Day. Melanie said lifesaving surgeries like Arlo’s could cost thousands of dollars, let alone the time, money and resources required to care for

cover story the animals at the shelter.

“Without the community’s help, the staff wouldn’t be able to look after the animals,” she said. “[Funds raised] also help to provide new things; for example, the Hunter shelter just got a new exercise yard.”

As a skilled amateur baker, Melanie’s sweet treats barely make it past the staff on Cupcake Day. You too can make a difference by rallying your friends, family or colleagues to host a morning or afternoon tea on Monday 20 August, or at any time throughout the month.

news Doing it for baby Toby Less than a year after her child’s passing, Margot Downing is lacing up her joggers with nine of her closest supporters to pay it forward.

The Downings – Margot, her partner Tom, and their children Sophia, 4, and Jed, 2 – live in The Marra, near Nyngan, eight hours north-west of Newcastle.

Their son and brother, Toby, born last September, never made it home.

During the final weeks of Margot’s pregnancy, the family was expecting a healthy baby boy.

Toby was supposed to be delivered on Friday 15 September, however, the doctor decided to wait and see if Margot went into labour naturally over the coming days.

That weekend, Margot suffered a placental abruption – where the placenta detaches from the uterine wall, either partially or completely, which can cause bleeding and interfere with the baby’s oxygen and nutrient supply.

In Toby’s case, his oxygen supply was severely limited. He was delivered via emergency caesarean at Dubbo Base Hospital, and, after doctors stabilised his condition, he was airlifted to John

14

Toby’s Team members Grace Ryan, Nichole Jenkins, Margot Downing and Rani Gudgeon; and, inset, baby Toby.

Hunter Children’s Hospital for further testing.

Toby suffered from kidney failure, decreased heart function, and his blood results were “terrible” according to the doctor, Margot told Newcastle Weekly.

His brain damage was irreversible, and he was unable to survive without intubation.

Ten days after his birth, Toby died due to hypoxic ischemic encephalitis (lack of oxygen).

Through this trauma, Margot spoke volumes about the hospital staff.

“From the moment we arrived at the hospital the staff were so incredibly kind and caring and empathetic,” she said.

“They cried when we cried; they laughed with us when Toby did something cute or funny.

“The love and care the staff showed for Toby and our other kids was like they were their own.

“The hospital even held me as an inpatient so I could be close to Toby 24 hours a day, and even allowed Tom to sleep on a mattress next to our bedside.”

Margot’s aim, now, is to raise awareness of John Hunter Children’s Hospital, particularly among

her hometown, by entering a team in the City2Surf fun run in Sydney this Sunday 12 August.

So far, they have raised more than $15,000, which Margot hopes will go towards vital hospital equipment for the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

“The catchment area for the hospital is so huge, and it could be anyone that finds themselves in the unfortunate situation of needing the hospital’s help for their child,” Margot said.

“If the funds raised could be put towards some equipment, like a ventilator, I would be so incredibly happy.”

The 960-metre trail starts on The Esplanade foreshore, opposite the intersection with Seaman Avenue, and features four exercise stations at regular intervals along the lake’s shore.

The trail includes a multi-bench at its start point, a sit-up bench at the 350-metre mark, a step-up station at the 700-metre mark and a combination full-body exercise unit at the finish line.

“The trail is another great step in our ongoing goal to promote active, healthy lifestyles and create vibrant communities,” Lake Macquarie council’s manager of community planning, Wes Hain, said.

Construction was funded through local developer contributions. The council opened another fitness trail in Speers Point late last year.

Outdoor fitness equipment has also been installed at the soon-to-be-opened Pasterfield Sports Complex at Cameron Park.

Two hundred years have passed since construction began on the boldest harbour project of the convict era.

A foundation stone was laid at Macquarie Pier, now known as Nobbys breakwall, by Governor Lachlan Macquarie himself on 5 August 1818.

Newcastle lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes led a short commemoration and three cheers on Sunday.

“The Macquarie Pier, or breakwater, assured stronger coal profits for the British Empire before eventually facilitating an annual export trade in excess of 150 million tonnes a year as a major economic contributor, not only for Newcastle, but the entire state and nation,” Cr Nelmes said.

“The monumental construction project, which took a staggering 28 years to complete, shaped the landscape of the city’s colonial history and heritage, transforming shoals into what we now know as the iconic Nobbys Beach.”

Years later, heavy seas breached the breakwater before huge sandstone blocks hauled from a Waratah quarry reinforced it and the work was finally completed in 1872.

A classic European-style dining experience has been earmarked for Maitland’s The Riverlink Building.

Maitland council announced this week that Daniel O’Leary would open COQUUN in September following a public expression of interest process.

Mr O’Leary, who has roots in Maitland and boasts almost a decade of experience in hospitality, is set to open the restaurant alongside lifelong friend and fellow local Anthony Ford.

“I’m thrilled to get the keys and I can’t wait to get into the restaurant and get to work,” Mr O’Leary said.

“It’s a wonderful space in an amazing location and I’m looking forward to creating some delicious food that I hope people will enjoy.

“When people come to COQUUN, I hope it makes them feel like they are in a public living room sitting by the Hunter River.”

The Riverlink Building was part of the $9.92 million second component of The Levee Development, which also included the Bourke Street Link and upgrades to the Riverwalk.

Café welcomes one and all It means ‘welcome’ in Awabakal, and that’s exactly how everyone is made to feel at Waratah West Public School’s Yalla Café.

Over the past five years, a disused basement and canteen area has been transformed with the community’s help.

Furniture, appliances (including the recent donation and installation of a large oven), paint and labour were all donated by local businesses and community groups, including Port Waratah Coal Services, Orica, Woolworths Mayfield, Aldi and Bunnings.

School staff also successfully applied for a $2,500 Barnardos Children’s Support Program Enrich grant, which will be used for further improvements.

Car theft in Cardiff is two-anda-half times the state average, Australian Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research data shows.

Meanwhile, theft from motor vehicles in the area is double the state average.

Wallsend state MP Sonia Hornery urged residents to lock their cars and remove any valuable items while parked, including wallets and electronic goods.

“It just takes a moment for a thief to get in and out of an unlocked car or to smash a window and grab whatever they can,” she said.

Ms Hornery added thieves appeared to be targeting Sydney and Central Coast commuters parked at Cardiff Railway Station.

sport Northstars downed in thriller

Mitchell Pearce gets a pass away during Newcastle’s clash with the Wests Tigers.

Photo: Getty Images

Knights mauled by Tigers Despite a late comeback, the Newcastle Knights couldn’t mow down Wests Tigers on Friday as the visitors went on to record a 25-16 victory at McDonald Jones Stadium.

A stack of ill-disciplined penalties and a sin bin didn’t help the Knights in the first half, with the Tigers racing out to a 22-4 lead by the 50th minute.

Tries by Kalyn Ponga and Aidan Guerra saw Newcastle mount a brief

comeback. With the Tigers’ lead cut to just six points, halfback Luke Brooks cleverly slotted a field goal before teammate Esan Marsters booted a penalty to seal the win.

Newcastle playmaker Mitchell Pearce limped from the field early in the second period with a nasty cork and is in doubt for the clash with the New Zealand Warriors, which kicks off at 6pm on Friday 10 August at Mt Smart Stadium.

The Newcastle Northstars have slipped outside the AIHL top four after going down 6-4 in a thriller to league leaders Canberra Brave on Sunday.

Newcastle trailed 5-2 at the end of the second period, but goals to Nick Rivait and Sammy Banga in the third produced a frantic climax.

However, visitors Canberra wrapped up the win in the dying stages via Channing Bresciani after the Northstars had pulled goaltender Dayne Davis.

In the run home to the finals, fifth-placed Newcastle will face rivals the Sydney Bears this Sunday 12 August from 4pm at Hunter Ice Skating Stadium; the Bears again the following Friday; Adelaide Adrenaline; and then Perth Thunder in a double header on 25 and 26 August.

CrossFit athlete’s strong finish Hunter athlete Judith Tynan finished eighth overall in the women’s 55-59 age category at the 2018 CrossFit Games in Madison, Wisconsin.

Tynan, one of only three women in the Australasian region to compete in the division, picked up 398 points over the five days of competition.

Overall champion, Mary Beth Prodromides, ended on 626 points, well clear of second placed Bianca Williams on 548.

Tynan, a 55-year-old mother and business owner from Chisholm, had trained multiple times a day, six days a week to prepare for a series of unknown events.

This year’s CrossFit Games, which attracts some of the fittest men and women on earth, took place from 1 to 5 August.

Blue Mountains three-piece Cloud Control and Brisbane band Last Dinosaurs will headline the 2018 Bitter and Twisted Boutique Beer Festival when it returns to Maitland Gaol in November.

With hits including Treetops, Rainbow City and There’s Nothing In The Water We Can’t Fight, Cloud Control first came on the scene in 2008 following the release of their self-titled EP. Three records later, the ARIAnominated band has become one of Australia’s most loved indie groups and they’ll take the stage at Bitter and Twisted on Sunday 4 November with their distinctive style and upbeat live show.

Last Dinosaurs will unleash their music on festival-goers a day earlier. The four-piece came out of the woodwork with their EP Back From the Dead in 2010 and have dropped two big records since

then in Wellness (2015) and In a Million Years (2012).

Some of their hit singles to listen out for are Eleven, Apollo and Zoom – the song that really put them on the map in 2011.

Apart from Cloud Control and Last Dinosaurs, two young and talented Newcastle musicians, Lachlan Edwards and Megan Core, have also been confirmed.

“We are confident Cloud Control and Last Dinosaurs, along with all the other artists, will be the perfect complement to the fantastic range of Australian craft beer and delicious food on offer as part of the weekend,” Maitland council’s events coordinator, Adam Franks, said.

A second round of artists will be announced in the coming weeks.

Canberra-based ceramicist Joanne Searle is set to hold her second exhibition and weekend workshop in the region at Newcastle Studio Potters.

Searle is an Associate Lecturer at the Australian National University (ANU)’s Ceramics Workshop.

Earlier this year, she co-founded Clay Studio Canberra, located in an old horticulture building in the south of Canberra.

Clay Studio Canberra offers classes for beginners through to advanced wheel throwers.

This exhibition, titled Soundmark, draws together several lines of enquiry that are central to her practice: place, sound, and markmaking.

Searle finds inspiration from artists across a wide range of media, such as drawing, glass and ceramics, including visual artist Hannah Quinliven and the work of

glass artist Mel Douglas.

Searle’s husband Mark owns a music production business.

She met Janet DeBoos at her local high school open night. Janet offered her a week-long work experience.

A further week with Scottish potter Fergus Stewart at the Strathnairn Arts Centre, Holt Canberra gave her firsthand experience of ceramics education and she was keen to learn.

In 2004, she participated in the Asia/Pacific workshop for students and faculty at the University of Hawaii.

She recently travelled to the United Kingdom through the ANU’s Outside Studies Program to undertake research into the crossdisciplinary field of print-based ceramics.

In the masterclass with Jeffery Sarmiento, Reader in Glass at The National Glass Centre, University of

Joanne Searle will pass on her knowledge through a workshop in Newcastle.

Sunderland, UK, she learned how to print water-based on-glaze decals using a silk screen method.

Searle’s thin porcelain vessels are decorated using a monotype printmaking process adapted for ceramics, allowing her to further explore qualities of impermanence through process.

Layering thin veneers of colour and clay, mark-making and erosion, she is able to echo transitional qualities in her work.

Purveyors at heart of city’s sustainable style culture An exclusive style event in the heart of Newcastle aims to ease challenges faced by inner-city businesses due to light rail works, whilst showcasing diversity in sustainable fashion.

Slow Wearing Well is a weekend event designed to entertain and enlighten, with a view to inspire and inform audiences about the style choices that are accessible in our community.

To be held from Friday 17 to Sunday 19 August, the event features five designers-

makers-purveyors: Pappa Sven, High Tea with Mrs Woo, Studio Melt, Hide & Seeker and Yardsale Trading Co. Each will share their stories, experiences and knowledge over a weekend of presentations, store and studio visits.

There will also be two Live Wardrobe Edit sessions – an open-process conversation to expose and delve into guests’ wardrobes.

The mammoth weekend will kick off with the launch at Newcastle Art Gallery on Friday evening.

The Slow Wearing Well presentation at the art gallery will feature the five proprietors that are leading the way in fostering and celebrating Newcastle’s sustainable style culture.

On Saturday, Style Crawl sessions will allow the audience to visit each of the stores and engage further in conversation about ‘slow wearing well’.

These sessions will be held at 10am at Pappa Sven, 11am at High Tea with Mrs Woo, and

1.30pm at Studio Melt, with a 12pm lunch in between at Momo Wholefood.

On Sunday, further style crawls will take place at Hide & Seeker (10am) and Yardsale Trading Co (10.45am), with a Live Wardrobe Edit with artist and mother of young children, Lottie Consalvo, to follow at 11.30am.

Lunch will be held at 12.30pm at Baked Uprising, followed by the last Live Wardrobe Edit with Meryl Ryan (editor, curator, collector, and mother of grown children).

The Style Crawl is a free event, while lunches and Live Wardrobe Edits are ticketed.

in the garden

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

Choices, choices A little bit of sun, cow manure dug in, and it’s time to plant tomatoes, sweet basil, lettuce and the many other summer vegetables now available.

This season, Oasis Horticulture has an abundant choice of tomato seedlings. It is impossible to list each one as there are 41 varieties!

Salad lovers can now plant lettuce, capsicum and cucumbers.

With the advent of smaller gardens and apartment living, pot cultivation is extremely popular for herbs and vegetables.

Always choose a good potting mix that contains fertiliser and water retention agents, and apply a soluble product each week.

I’d also suggest planting a smaller-growing tomato that doesn’t require a two-metre stake.

Chilli choice has also widened – all too hot for me, but variety is the spice of life!

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

THIS WEEK • Feed potted citrus with a slow-release product – not granulated fertiliser.

• Petunias can be planted in empty pots to give colour for spring and summer.

• Roses pruned and fed with poultry manure will now be ready for a handful of rose food.

• Lawns should be sprayed for weeds before fertilising and mowing.

August 10 – 16

PICK OF THE WEEK Munich Friday, SBS, 8.30pm, MA15+ (2005) Steven Spielberg’s shattering account of the aftermath of the 1972 Munich Olympics massacre is both a sobering examination of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a riveting political thriller. A forceful Eric Bana (pictured) is Avner, a proud Israeli and humble Mossad employee who is assigned to eliminate the 11 Palestinians behind the hostage tragedy. The jolting, graphic violence is necessarily harsh, and Spielberg’s virtuoso direction is in service of a compelling, intricate script.

Friday

Chicago

The Hunger Games Saturday, 9GO!, 9pm, M (2012) Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games is certainly no fluffy piece about wizards or werewolves, and director and co-writer Gary Ross (Seabiscuit) does a magnificent job of bringing the futuristic world of Panem to life. To fight for survival in a world ravaged by drought, famine and war, teenagers are forced to battle to the death live on television while the rest are forced to watch. But when 16-year-old Katniss’ (Jennifer Lawrence pictured) young sister is chosen to fight, she steps up in her place with dangerous consequences.

Tuesday, SBS, 1.40am, M (2002) Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renée Zellweger (pictured) and Richard Gere set pulses racing in a hilarious musical satire on celebrity, set in the sexy and scandalous era of 1920s Chicago. Kick out all your preconceptions about musicals being “bo-r-r-ring” because this knockout mix of hyper-stylised drama and song-anddance fantasy stomps all over its stage-bound incarnation. The person responsible for all this jazz is Rob Marshall – his superlative direction boils, pops, sizzles and shimmies with invention, making Chicago the perfect companion piece to Moulin Rouge.

What is the title of the 2005 film adaptation

INTRODUCING BOOST

This Scooby Doo look alike will get your heart melting. Meet Boost a sweet Shar Pei puppy cross. Boost is a loving dog who seeks lots of cuddles and affection from his peoples.

NW0276-V20

He has been trained to live both inside and outside the house and knows how to use a doggy door. However he will need to live in a household that has high fences as he is a medium to large dog. Boost is very fond of people and other dogs but dosent do as well with other pocket pets and particularly cats.

URGENT

He is a very clever boy but will need someone to help finish guiding his way through training. Boost would suit a loving family preferably with older children as he is a child himself and loves to bounce around playfully. With lots of love and affection he will make a great pet.

Foster carers urgently needed. You get support and you don’t pay vet or food bills. Contact Janette on 0438 551 576

in the

STARS STARS WITH FRANCIS BEVAN

The year ahead is going to be a rather restless and busy time for Chris. He will have a need for mental stimulation and might study a foreign language or take up technical studies.

He will need all his communication skills as his work will veer into uncharted territory.

Communication, conversation and greater understanding are the keynotes to happiness.

Chris could be a little fickle during the year ahead, as he is going to be keen to experiment socially and emotionally.

The 11 August New Moon brings an opportunity to have fun and find romance. Those of you with children will find them extremely lively and if you need to talk with them about their behaviour, now is the ideal time to sit them down and try to reach them.

The 11 August New Moon indicates you have the ability to impress others and will earn the respect of those who matter. Opportunities for advancement surround you and it seems those close to you are also being blessed with the chance to take new pathways and expand their horizons.

The New Moon on the 11th energises all your relationships and the pleasure-seeking side of your life. It is a happy and productive time for the sportspersons or artist and those who deal with children. Socially, the people you meet will be interesting and offer inspiring insights.

The New Moon on the 11th indicates that it is an ideal time to make changes at home and with the family.

TAURUS: 21 APR – 21 MAY

LEO: 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO: 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS: 21 JAN – 19 FEB

The new Moon on the 11th indicates cash opportunities could help you to reorganise your life more constructively. Your values may go through a fundamental shift. Think carefully about your responsibilities as well as wants and needs. Control a tendency to overspend!

The New Moon on the 11th is the ideal time to plan a trip overseas or to make contact with those far away. On a positive note, the influence of the planets can’t help but to encourage greater confidence, optimism and to focus on enjoying yourself.

My favourite things TRAVEL I love travelling, both here in Australia and overseas. Last year, I went on a fact-finding journey to the Northern Territory. I am fortunate to call Australia home and yet be able to see remote parts of the world.

PHOTOGRAPHY I enjoy seeing the changes of the seasons through a camera’s lens. These days, it’s more likely just to be my mobile phone, but that means I never miss an opportunity to capture the beauty in nature.

Geraldine Moran CENTRE FOR HOPE FOUNDER

Geraldine Moran is the CEO, founder and driving force behind Windale’s Centre For Hope. She was motivated to start the centre after seeing a little girl being kicked by an adult and unable to help. The image haunted her and was the trigger for the centre – a space where kids know they are worth something and can follow their dreams. With the vision to empower young disadvantaged people to respect themselves, to connect to the wider community and to create an inspired life, Geraldine founded the not-for-profit organisation in 2011 as a helping hand for six to 18-year-olds. This mentoring and coaching is supported by high-impact projects such as Wheels for Hope, a bike shed program at Mt Hutton, Kurri Kurri and Raymond Terrace; a drop-in centre, homework and cultural centre for primary students; a weekly parents group in Lake Macquarie; and a newly-opened centre in Port Stephens.

With a wealth of life experiences under her belt, Geraldine is also an author and speaker. She started her professional career as a solicitor, then moved to psychology and gained a Masters of Analytical Psychology before training as a life coach. Somewhere, she manages to fit in being a wife and mother.

MUSIC Music is a great way to relax. I am less likely to attend a concert these days but I love all kinds of music. I am loving Hilltop Hoods’ new single Clark Griswold. The young people we work with keep me engaged in what’s current.

EMPOWERING PEOPLE I really love the work I do, which sees young people and their families believe in themselves and create a life that rises above the circumstances that might constrain them. I volunteer my time as CEO and I am so fortunate to be able to do this.

COFFEE I really love catching up with my family or friends and colleagues over a coffee. We are so spoilt for choice in this region. For me, it is a way to relax, kick back and reflect with the people who support me in this life.
