This week...

Dog lover or not, how can you resist Cadbury the chocolate Labrador’s sweet face on this week’s cover?!

About 62% of Australian households own a pet – dogs being the most common (38%) – so I thought it was high time we gave the people what they wanted: an edition dedicated to pets.

This week’s magazine was inspired by local Year 3 student Poppy, whose class I visited last term to talk about Newcastle Weekly. Among some rather comical questions (“Are you on YouTube?” and “Do you have to work on your birthday?”), were a few helpful suggestions. Poppy (an animal lover) politely pointed out that Newcastle Weekly contained not nearly enough critter content. Given the opportunity to work at a magazine when she grows up, Poppy thought she might like to write a regular animal care column.

Anywho, perhaps I should listen to my fans more often? You tell me. Flip to page 30.

There’s more quality content where that came from this week. News stories take an environmental flavour, we recap the Golden Globes in The Look, and the Newcastle Juggling Convention comes to town.

And, in Home, gardener extraordinaire Judy Sharpe gives an overview of July December jobs as a sequel to last week’s instalment.

news Fires devastate habitat Chad Beranek wants better education and a greater police presence on Kooragang Island, Hexham, after a deliberately-lit fire tore through more than 100 hectares and destroyed wildlife.

The University of Newcastle student has studied the effect of habitat restoration on a threatened species – the Green and Golden Bell Frog – on the island as part of his PhD for the past three years.

He says there’s been a significant increase in fires, particularly car burnings, during that time.

“In my first season, I probably only saw one or two burnt out cars but, just in the last few months, since August, I’ve recorded eight,” he tells Newcastle Weekly.

“Where the [latest] fire occurred, it swept through a whole bunch of habitats, which are used as a corridor for the endangered Green

and Golden Bell Frog.

“That is particularly worrying because fragments of the population on the island and the population [in general] are at a high risk of extinction.”

Mr Beranek says firefighters worked quickly to extinguish the blaze, only for it to reignite in hot conditions and spread to areas inhabited by snakes, lizards, eastern long-necked turtles, sheoak skinks, and birds.

He believes hundreds of animals may have died in the fire.

“We’ve so far found one bell frog, which has died due to the fire, and it’s probably likely that there’s a lot more,” he says.

“We found the bell frog under a tyre that was in quite deep, burnt-out vegetation, so there is no easy way you can survey all of this charcoal for frogs.”

Mr Beranek hopes there will be more awareness on the devastating impact that a minority has caused to a susceptible ecosystem.

He wants to see the persistent perpetrators caught and a serious investigation under way.

“There could perhaps be more

of a police presence on the island and maybe gating off certain areas where there’s more activity would be an option,” he says.

“But, obviously there are other stakeholders involved that might not like the idea.”

A ute queued across light rail tracks at Stewart Avenue.

Safety first as light rail nears From running red lights to jaywalking across tram tracks: drivers and pedestrians have been urged to use more caution around the Newcastle Light Rail.

With the new system set to open to the public next month, Newcastle Transport Light Rail driver Corey Moore said he and other drivers had encountered some careless and reckless behaviour since daytime testing started in November.

“It makes sense that people need some time to adjust to the new conditions, however, our drivers are seeing some repeated dangerous behaviours, which are putting people at risk,” he said.

“One of the most common issues we’ve seen is drivers running red lights at the light rail crossings, particularly at Stewart Avenue.

“Another regular sight is pedestrians jaywalking across

the tram tracks, often not paying attention and looking at their phones.”

Newcastle Transport operators, Keolis Downer, released a list of the top five safety issues last week ahead of the system’s official opening.

The list included running red lights at rail crossings, vehicles queuing over tracks at crossings, pedestrians jaywalking, using the tramway for walking, running and cycling, and vehicles performing illegal U-turns over light rail tracks.

Keolis Downer Hunter general manager, Mark Dunlop, said following the road rules and being aware around Newcastle Light Rail would not just keep people safe, but help the system operate to its potential.

“We’re asking the community to not let some of the recent issues we’ve seen turn into long-term habits that will put people at risk and be a detriment to the service,” he said.

Police station set for upgrade A new $1.5 million police station is promised for Lemon Tree Passage.

Funding will be rolled out over three years, with consultation already under way and community engagement expected to take place in the coming months.

The planned upgrade was announced on Monday morning.

The state government stated the current site at Lemon Tree Passage did not allow for the expansion and modernisation of the existing facility.

“I can assure the community that we will continue to ensure our men and women in blue are properly resourced to continue their work,” NSW Police Minister, Troy Grant, said.

Other police stations to undergo an upgrade in the region include Tea Gardens and Karuah.

news Club drives school donations A Hunter-based club has completed another successful back-to-school drive to support women’s refuges across the region as the summer holidays quickly disappear in the rear-view mirror.

Backpacks, stationery items and lunchboxes are often on many families’ shopping lists, but not everyone can afford such essentials.

This is where the Zonta Club of Hunter Newcastle chips in.

The organisation works to empower women and girls through service and advocacy, both locally and internationally.

Each December, its back-toschool drive is a vital part of the club’s activities.

Zonta Club of Hunter Newcastle president, Karen Wilson, says the 2018-19 collection has been a great success, providing enough backpacks, stationery, lunchboxes,

drink bottles and other items to service all six women’s refuge centres across Newcastle, Maitland and Lake Macquarie.

“When women and children flee domestic violence situations and seek refuge in these valued facilities, they often arrive with not [much] more than the clothes they are wearing,” she says.

“This creates extreme difficulty for the children returning to school in January.”

Apart from the back-to-school drive, the club collects nonperishable food and linen, while it also creates amenities bags that contain toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, and more.

The club has a strong membership of professional women and undertakes projects across many sectors, including the assembly of birthing kits, breast

news University shows support for national inquiry

Network Literacy / Numeracy Teachers Department of Education and Training Job Details An exciting opportunity exists for inspiring classroom teachers to be part of the Department’s Middle Years Literacy and Numeracy Support (MYLNS) initiative.

MYLNS is a $183 million, four-year initiative which will provide intensive teaching support to secondary students who are at risk of finishing school without the literacy and numeracy skills they need for future work, further education or training.

Position Details You will improve student confidence and learning outcomes by providing direct, targeted support to eligible students in Years 8 to 10 from up to four schools in collaboration with their in-class teachers and wellbeing staff. Through participation in the MYLNS Community of Practice and world-class professional learning modules provided through the Bastow Institute of Educational Leadership, you will learn how to best support secondary school students who are behind in literacy and numeracy.

The successful applicants will have: • a high level of knowledge of the relevant curriculum • excellent interpersonal and communication skills, including the ability to establish and maintain collaborative relationships to support student learning, agency, wellbeing and engagement • the ability to identify the education requirements of students with complex learning needs and develop tailored support to enable students to achieve their full potential • demonstrated ability to monitor and analyse data to inform teaching and student learning • demonstrated ability to implement high impact classroom teaching strategies to engage and motivate adolescent learners Network Teachers will be appointed for two years at Classroom Teacher range 2.

“We know NDAs can be beneficial, enabling all parties to put the unpleasantness of a dispute behind them,” Ms Jenkins said.

“But we can’t fully understand the experience of the full complaint process, including negotiating resolutions that include NDAs, without access to the experience of people – complainants and respondents – who are subject to them.”

The submission deadline has been extended to 28 February.

Plan to grow live music More opportunities to break into the all-age music industry, improvements to night-time transport and online promotion are part of Newcastle council’s live-music strategy.

The Live Music Strategy 2019-23, which is on public exhibition until 25 February, has set out key targets to achieve a safe and sustainable live music scene.

“Live music is an invaluable part of our city’s cultural make-up, and we’ve undertaken a significant body of research and community engagement to develop an action

plan that will help grow this important industry in Newcastle,” lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes said.

“This document, together with other important strategies, such as the After Dark Strategy, seeks to strengthen our night time economy by making live music as viable for musicians and their audiences as possible.”

Cr Nelmes said the plan also aimed to strike a balance between promoting a vibrant night-time economy and responding to the needs of those calling the city home.

Inclusive program returns

Key qualities Network teachers will have expertise in literacy or numeracy teaching, an ability to work directly with students with complex needs, and enjoy working collaboratively to improve student confidence and learning outcomes.

Qualifications This exciting opportunity is open to teachers currently registered or eligible for registration with the Victorian Institute of Teaching and qualified to teach and/or have demonstrated experience in literacy or numeracy education.

Job Locations Positions are based in various locations around Melbourne and regional Victoria. Travel is a requirement.

Applications will be open from 14 January to 10 February.

The University of Newcastle is one of 19 major employers to have agreed to a limited waiver of non-disclosure agreements for the National Workplace Sexual Harassment Inquiry.

In November, Australian Sex Discrimination Commissioner, Kate Jenkins, called on Australian employers to make a partial waiver of Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) so parties to NDAs were able to make confidential submissions to the national inquiry.

Inclusive events that range from bellydancing and theatre workshops to croquet and healthy cooking classes will be on offer in Lake Macquarie during this year’s Me2 program.

Launched in 2017, the program aims to build the networks and skills of people of all abilities and ages.

“Me2 aims to be a meaningful addition to the lives of participants, to support them and include them in our community,” Lake Macquarie council’s ageing and disability officer, Peta McGrath, said.

More than 11,500 people in Lake

Macquarie – comprising over 6% of the population – need assistance with self-care, mobility or communication.

Ms McGrath said that was above the NSW average.

“Thankfully, attitudes and behaviour towards people with disability have changed significantly in recent years, and programs like Me2 help continue this positive trend,” she said.

The first few months will include healthy cooking classes in February, croquet in March, an Easter picnic in April, and bellydancing and drumming classes in May.

Maxi Save advertising moment

Maxi Save supermarket provides shoppers with great discounts and abundant choice.

Save more in Maitland At Maxi Save supermarket, you’ll always be served by a real person.

There are no self-serve checkouts at the Maitland-based supermarket, just friendly staff whose sole focus is customer service.

“We are committed to customer service,” administration assistant Kerry Ford says.

“I think this is appreciated, especially by the elderly who value face-to-face service.

“Price, value, quality: that’s our motto.”

Having opened its doors at the beginning of November 2018, Maxi Save offers everything the supermarket giants do, including name brands, at discount prices.

However, what sets it apart is its huge offering of homewares and household items, from gardening tools, to car accessories, to sheets and towels.

Where else in the Hunter can you shop for

bedding at the same time as your weekly grocery haul?

For this reason, one might liken Maxi Save to Costco, but Kerry says there is one important difference.

“I don’t think people are aware that you don’t need to be a member like [you do at] Costco,” she adds.

“Anyone can shop here and reap the benefits.”

Another thing Maxi Save prides itself on is its ease of access and usability.

The aisles are wide, to accommodate passing trolleys, and stock is clearly displayed so shoppers know where to find everything.

news Colourful mural a welcome distraction

Allan Baxter stands proud of his mural at Opal Macquarie Place. Photo: Peter Stoop

A new mural at a Cameron Park aged care facility has coloured the residents’ world.

Former signwriter and TAFE art teacher of 18 years, Allan Baxter, painted a picture of a parrot and toucan nestled amongst flowers and ferns to help disguise a door separating two wards, where residents often congregate, at Opal

Macquarie Place.

The retired Speers Point man was visiting his friend, Michael Costello, in the dementia ward one day when he struck up a conversation with one of the nurses, who suggested a mural could help pleasantly distract residents.

He jumped at the chance to dust off his painting skills, whilst also

spending quality time with Michael, with whom he used to play in an acoustic band called Alive ‘n’ Kickin, alongside other men over 60 who had all survived cancer or heart surgery. “[Michael] doesn’t know me anymore, but the important thing is, I know him,” Allan said.

“While I was there, he got to know me as the new Allan – the mural painter – and that’s one of the reasons I did it.”

Allan painted each Thursday over the course of three weeks, for a total of 20 hours’ free labour.

Inspirations Paint Warners Bay donated the materials.

“I feel great [about the project] because I’ve been going to aged care homes and playing music but this was totally different to what I’d been doing,” he said.

Hunter land values rise Hunter land values have risen across the board to 1 July 2018, the Acting NSW Valuer General’s report shows.

Residential land value increases varied from slight, in Singleton and the Upper Hunter, to strong on the Mid Coast and the Central Coast.

Moderate increases of between 6% and 10% were recorded in the Upper Hunter, Port Stephens, Newcastle, Singleton and Cessnock.

The Muswellbrook local government area was the only one that recorded steady residential values (0.4%). Revenue NSW uses these figures – which only reflect the value of the land, not a home or other structure – to calculate land tax for registered land tax clients.

Property sales are the most influential factor on land values.

news Camping trial to test the waters at Stockton Beach When Novocastrians and visitors step onto Stockton Beach, they stand on the “Worimi equivalent of Uluru”.

Worimi Local Aboriginal Land Council (WLALC) chief executive, Andrew Smith, said a camping trial at the southern end of the 4,200-hectare Worimi Conservation Lands would be closely monitored.

Camping on the beach was banned in 2012 after a series of major storms caused significant damage to the dune system.

More than 1,500 campers once flocked to the landscape each day, resulting in about 10 tonnes of rubbish being collected annually.

From next month, an initial 15 remote campsites will be opened as part of the Ganyamalbaa Camping Trial.

Ganyamalbaa means ‘a place to camp’ in Gathang language, spoken by the Worimi.

Mr Smith said the Worimi people had heard the community’s call for camping to return.

“There are limitations with what we can and can’t provide, but we’ve come up with what we think is the best possible option and hope with

all our heart that it will work,” he told Newcastle Weekly.

The unique camping experience has been co-designed by the Worimi Conservation Lands (WCL) Board of Management, as well as four-wheel-drive, fishing and conservation representatives.

The WCL is managed by a board of 13 people, eight of whom are registered Worimi Aboriginal owners, in accordance with the National Parks and Wildlife Service Act 1974.

The park aims to protect the natural and cultural values of the Stockton Bight landscape, while also providing public access and promoting safe and sustainable recreational and commercial use.

Online bookings for the trial will open on Friday 1 February, with camping to start two weeks later.

Fees are $33 (base site fee, two adults); $16.50 (extra adult); $8 (child, 5-12); and free for infants aged 0-4.

Beach permit fees also changed on New Year’s Day for four-wheel-drive and recreational vehicle

access to Stockton Beach.

It is the first time the vehicle entry fees have increased in more than a decade.

The cost for permits is $33 (three days); $88 (annual); $44 (annual pensioner permit); and $88 (RVA – for conditionally registered quads/ motorbikes).

The WCL board stated the permit fees were aligned with other publicly-accessible beach driving areas.

Mr Smith said the board was presented with fee scales from across the state and offered recommendations for both camping and permits.

It factored in costs for infrastructure, management and supervision.

“I am sympathetic to views on the permits from people who say: ‘We can’t afford that’, but we believe it is the best fee to provide a safe and sustainable environment,” Mr Smith said.

He added amenities, such as toilet blocks, could be considered in the future, but believed people needed to recognise the uniqueness of the landscape.

“This can be a very hostile environment if

“The landscape lends itself to a number of challenges, and to put infrastructure out in that space may see it suffer vandalism and damage.

“Our priority is to develop a sustainable system and not create inappropriate depressions in the landscape.

“But the board can and will consider [amenities] – we’re committed to providing the best possible camping experience.”

Mr Smith stressed the land council would not receive any financial benefits from the increase in beach vehicle permit fees.

He stated “every cent” generated was to be returned and reinvested into the land.

“No money comes to the Worimi land council, we don’t get anything from this – we’re a completely separate and autonomous entity,” he said.

NAMASTE: asthma and yoga Respiratory researchers at the University of Newcastle and Hunter Medical Research Institute are investigating how yoga and mindfulness can improve quality of life for severe asthma sufferers.

The disease can be highly debilitating for those who gain minimal relief from conventional inhaled therapies, escalating chronic risk factors associated with physical inactivity.

As a natural, non-pharmaceutical approach, the new study, called NAMASTE (Novel Activity

Management in severe ASthma – Tailored Exercise) aims to increase the amount of activity that asthma sufferers can tolerate.

The team has started recruitment for a clinical trial that will compare 16 weeks of yoga and mindfulness classes with a minimal, telephone-based, goal-setting control group. All participants will receive an activity tracker.

Classes start next month at the HMRI. To find out more, or to enrol, phone Paola Urroz on 4042 0092 or email paola.urroz@newcastle.edu.au

The military sabre is on public display at Speers Point Library.

Sabre a reminder of lake’s history A rare, 200-year-old military sabre that once belonged to one of the pioneers of European settlement in Lake Macquarie has gone on public display for the first time.

The Pattern 1796 light cavalry sabre was once owned by Jonathan Warner, after whom Warners Bay was named.

Mr Warner fought the French as a British officer in the Napoleonic Wars – where he likely obtained and used the sabre – before emigrating

to Australia in 1826.

He settled several years later in what is now known as Warners Bay, establishing a farm and orange orchard on the hill above the presentday Warners Bay Public School.

Lake Macquarie City Council Community Historian, Ann Crump, said the Pattern 1796 sabre was one of the most fearsome battlefield weapons of its time.

“It was designed to be a slashing weapon

and is recognised as one of the deadliest cutting swords ever manufactured in large quantities,” Ms Crump said.

Warner died in 1843, aged 57, but the sabre was passed down to his granddaughter, Rosa Ellen Warner.

It sat for decades wrapped in calico on top of a cupboard on a property in Tamworth.

Ms Crump said the relatively dry environment during that period helped preserve the weapon.

Its original scabbard is also largely intact.

“Warner is a significant character in the history of European settlement in Lake Macquarie, yet very few artefacts relating to him remain,” Ms Crump said.

“That makes this sabre such an important heritage item.”

A descendant of Warner, Margaret Brown, kindly donated the sabre and other family items to Lake Macquarie council last year.

The sabre, an epaulette worn by Warner as part of his military uniform, letters he wrote during his time in Lake Macquarie, and a historical photo of Warner’s home, known as Biddaba, are on display until March at Speers Point Library.

Get set to dive into one of the highlights on Newcastle’s Australia Day activities.

Registrations are now open for the annual Newcastle Harbour Swim on Saturday 26 January.

Participants can take the plunge in the ‘Single Crossing’ – a 700-metre social swim from Stockton to Newcastle – or tackle the main event, the ‘Double Crossing’, from Newcastle to Stockton and back.

Aquatically adventurous participants can compete in both events.

There are categories to suit all ages, from kids 12-13 years (Single Crossing only), right through to the over-60 Grand Masters, and everything in between.

Stockton Surf Life Saving Club president, Callan Nickerson, said it had a small but dedicated and highly-skilled bunch of active patrol members, ranging from 13 to 70 years old.

Troisi strike sinks Newcastle Melbourne Victory star James Troisi’s late strike sank Newcastle as the hosts won 2-1 at AAMI Park on Saturday night.

After a goalless first half, the Jets went behind when Terry Antonis curled in a left-footed effort from outside the 18-yard box.

Substitute Kaine Sheppard drew Newcastle level in the 78th minute, but Troisi then produced the match-winner with a fierce shot into the top corner.

Newcastle will face Sydney FC this Saturday 19 January at Jubilee Oval from 5.35pm.

taste

things aren’t Australian.

Aussies love to claim things as our own, from the humble meat pie, which hails from the UK; to the band Dragon, who are Kiwis; and even our beloved barbecues, which are actually Argentinian.

However, we stop short of singing our nation’s praises when we step foot into pubs, clubs, cafés and restaurants, where businesses aren’t obliged to label where their seafood comes from – information legally required in supermarkets and at fishmongers.

Australia imports 70% of its seafood, which is why the Seafood Industry Australia is calling for a policy change to the Food Act 2006, making food provenance a legal requirement.

Food for thought

The latest in foodie news, events and products.

Gut health boost To help Aussies kick-start their New Year’s health resolutions, Boost Juice and Amplify Kombucha have joined forces to launch a new range of kombucha-based blends.

With the goodness of real, whole fruit and organic kombucha, the KomBOOSTcha range includes three flavours, available for a limited time: Berry Lemon, Mango Orange Pash, and Watermelon Lychee.

Each blend is vegan, dairyfree and wheat-free, and contains probiotics, good bacteria and organic acids known to promote gut health.

The KomBOOSTcha range is available at all Boost Juice stories until Monday 28 January.

Newcastle’s juggling act

Juggling can seem near impossible to the average Joe. But Newcastle’s Circus Avalon director John Campbell says, with a little perseverance, anyone can do it.

“There wouldn’t be a single person in

Australia who couldn’t learn to juggle,” he tells Newcastle Weekly.

“I even taught a vision-impaired person to juggle once. It took a while, but we got there.

“Because juggling is about throwing, not catching.”

R SUMMEER OFF

If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at juggling, here’s your chance: Circus Avalon is hosting the Newcastle Juggling Convention at Callaghan College Waratah Technology Campus from Friday 25 to Monday 28 January.

There will be workshops each day from 10am, for beginner to advanced skill levels.

Around 100 of the greatest jugglers from across the country (12 of them ‘Avaloonies’) will be on hand to share their knowledge.

“Jugglers are a bit evangelical – they love to teach people,” Campbell adds.

If you’d prefer to sit back and watch, performers will put on a public show inside the Circus Avalon big top on Saturday 26 January (Australia Day) from 7.30pm.

The audience is in for a treat, with jugglers attempting newly-attained skills, meaning you can expect much more from it than a regular, polished circus act.

This year’s four-day event, which was founded in 2014 after the Sydney convention drew to a close, will feature guests Joe and Byron from JuggLife. Four-day passes are available for $90 each, while a single day pass costs $25.

Season launch to dazzle Cessnock Performing Arts Centre will launch its 2019 season in spectacular style with The Maestro and the Diva on Saturday 9 February.

Brian Castles-Onion, opera conductor, pianist and famous Cessnock son; and Geraldine Turner, musical theatre star, will take the stage in this celebration of composers, from Porter to Gershwin, Sondheim to Weill, Berlin to Lloyd Webber.

Expect to laugh and be enthralled, surprised, even touched, by the talents and tales of these two celebrated Australian artists.

They will reflect and reminisce, regaling the audience with stories from behind and in front of the lights.

Both are multi-award winners and true legends of the stage, and together they shine brightly.

Guests will be treated to a pre-show stroll down the red carpet, where the paparazzi will greet them, followed by canapés and sparkling wine.

The Maestro and the Diva kicks off what promises to be a full-throttle performing arts season, packed with epic confessions, hilariously mad entanglements, outrageous comedy, stunning music and beautiful consequences.

Patrons can expect some big names to cross

the stage this year, with many of the country’s premier artists and companies touring regionally.

Among them will be Australian tenor and soprano powerhouses, David Hobson and Marina Prior, together on stage for The 2 of Us – Up Close and Personal.

Jonathan Biggins will also perform as Paul Keating (The Gospel According to Paul), while The Sapphires present a funny, heartwarming tale about four young Yorta Yorta women, who sing Motown soul hits and find themselves in the hell that is the Vietnam War. These are but a few of the fabulous performances that await.

Keeping pets safe According to RSPCA NSW, more pets go missing during storms and fireworks than at any other time.

There are many reasons our pets might become anxious during a storm, including the fear of loud noises, especially given that a dog can hear 10 times better than we can.

Pets often injure themselves trying to escape the noise: some dogs will jump over or dig under fences, while others find their way onto busy roads and can be struck by vehicles.

If possible, it’s best to stay home with your pet, particularly if they are prone to panic.

Provide a comfortable area or den they can retreat to and engage them in normal activities.

If you know a storm is coming, or fireworks are planned, ensure your pets are exercised and well fed before the noise starts.

It’s a good idea also to ensure your pet’s microchip details are up-to-date and they are wearing an ID tag.

PETstock vet Dr Hay In Chung says some dogs are predisposed to a fear of loud noises. “[This] most often occurs in breeds that are genetically more sensitive to all noises (e.g. Border Collies), or dogs that perhaps weren’t exposed to loud noises when young and had a bad experience during their first time exposed to thunder,” Dr Hay says.

30

“Moreover, if a dog had a particularly bad experience with noise, then it may become sensitised to the noise, even if it was OK to begin with.

“A consultation with your vet could provide light sedatives to relax your pet in stressful situations.

Alternatively, crate training and even Thundershirts can help.”

Thundershirts are anti-anxiety shirts that work by giving your cat or dog a ‘hug’ as they fit snugly while targeting various pressure points on the body.

Available from PETstock, they can also help ease separation and travel anxiety.

Thundershirts are available from PETstock.

Go to petsafetykit.rspcansw.org.au to request your free Pet Safety Kit from RSPCA NSW. It’s packed with tips to keep animals safe during thunderstorms and fireworks; what to do if your pet becomes overheated; and what human foods are dangerous to our furry friends.

Hazardous human foods Some foods safe for human consumption can cause illness and, in some cases, death in our pets.

These include: Onion (including onion powder); Garlic (including garlic powder); Chocolate; Coffee or caffeinated products; Grapes, raisins & sultanas; Nuts (including macadamia nuts); Citrus fruits; Avocado; Bread dough; Cooked bones; and Xylitol (sugar substitute), found in sugar-free lollies, peanut butter & toothpaste.

in the garden

Yearly overview: July – December A great month for pruning – not spring-flowering trees and shrubs.

Roses should be pruned this month (frost-prone areas can wait until August).

Stone fruit that suffer from leaf curl should be sprayed with Copper Oxychloride during the last two weeks of July, then again during early August.

Crepe Myrtles should be cut back to within several centimetres of last year’s growth – don’t prune back to the same spot as ugly calluses will appear.

August Fertilise citrus this month; only use slow-release on potted plants.

Feed ground-grown plants with poultry manure, followed several weeks later with citrus food.

Hydrangeas that have been pruned back to two plump eyes should be fertilised, giving consideration to colour.

Once camellias have fi nished flowering, deadhead and trim to shape, fertilise and mulch with peat moss.

Early tomatoes can be planted in well-manured soil.

Eradicate weeds before lawns are fertilised.

September Don’t fertilise lawns until they are actively growing.

Agapanthus, murraya, gardenia and other flowering summer plants should be fertilised with cow manure.

Don’t prune tropical plants until warm weather is established.

If gardenias develop yellow leaves as they are setting flowers,

IN THE GARDEN JUDY SHARPE

apply chelated iron and keep wellwatered.

October Camellias and azaleas should be fertilised after flowering. Use a slow-release fertiliser for potted plants.

Roses are prone to aphid attack on their new growth; keep this under control with pyrethrum or Malathon.

Hibiscus making new growth will need cow manure and chelated iron to prevent yellow leaves.

10

YEAR GURANTEE

THE DREAM DOORS ADVANTAGE 1 - LOW COST

November Give native shrubs that have fi nished flowering a light prune.

Summer-flowering annuals and vegetables will benefit from an application of blood and bone.

2 - HUGE RANGE

Watch for fruit fly attacking tomatoes, stone fruit and other ripening vegetables.

Use fruit fly baits and paint tomato stakes with a spreadable paste of Vegamite and Malathon (no specific ratio).

December End of the year again, and it’s mulching time, ready for the long, hot summer.

Use peat moss around the root surface of azaleas and camellias and mulch the rest of the garden with sugar cane mulch.

Plant annuals for Christmas colour.

PICK OF THE WEEK 10 Things I Hate About You

10 Things I Hate About You

Sunday, WIN PEACH, 8.30pm, PG (1999) Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew enrols in high school for this sprightly romantic comedy. Julia Stiles plays the shrewish older sister who, under dad’s rules, must have a boyfriend (enter Heath Ledger) in order for her younger sister (Larisa Oleynik) to start dating. There are nice allusions, particularly the various name references, as well as some charming quirks.

Friday

Collateral

Gran Torino

Gran Torino

Monday, GO!, 8.30pm, M (2008) Clint Eastwood plays the bitter, grumpy, casually racist Walt Kowalski, who becomes involved with the South East Asian family next door when their son Thao (Bee Vang) begins mixing with a gang. With his old-fashioned values, Walt is gradually welcomed into the family next door, through Thao’s sister (Ahney Her).

It’s a well-trodden path, but in Eastwood’s hands, Gran Torino is an exceptional story full of tension, moral complexity and tenderness.

Sunday, GO!, 9pm, MA15+ (2004) Jamie Foxx is revelatory in his role as LA cab driver Max, who opens his door to Vincent (Tom Cruise).

A striking grey suit and direct manner suggest he is a corporate type in town on business. He is, however, a hit man intent on sniffing out five key witnesses at the behest of a drug baron, and Max is forced to drive him from hit to hit. It’s a riveting thriller from director Michael Mann (Heat, The Insider).

17 January 1980 Because Zooey is likely to be out and about painting the town all the colours of the rainbow, it is likely that health problems will come through overindulgence and perhaps tiredness. There is also a possibility that she may get a little fraught from overwork, which could result in some anxious emotional scenes.

However, Zooey is sensible enough to realise that her emotions should not be allowed to control her. Reconnecting with nature and meditation will be the way forward.

ARIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

The Full Moon on the 21st is the ideal time to embark on new creative projects. However, you must guard against losing your temper in the wrong place and at the wrong time.

You are great at initiating new projects and what better time to do so.

2019 is a good year for forming durable business partnerships, especially with women. The Full Moon on the 21st warns you need to watch your spending habits to avoid overdrawing your bank account.

You might have to sell to foreigners and will need to learn about their customs.

The Full Moon on the 21st indicates you must be careful of being overly critical with those you love. Great demands will be made on your time and you may find that something will have to give, as there are just not enough hours in the day to accommodate everyone.

Jupiter in your 12th house indicates that your luck will be found behind the scenes. You may be drawn to religion, philosophy, healing or the metaphysics. The Full Moon on the 21st indicates that your intuition will be strong and you might go as far to develop mediumistic qualities.

LEO 23 JULY – 23 AUG

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

AQUARIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

The 21 January Full Moon is the ideal time to declutter your home, move or renovate. When Uranus moves into Taurus, you’ll be lapping up every advancement and innovation this planet brings. Your career will surge forward; you could become involved in the fields of construction, banking or finance.

Jupiter in your 2nd house is a good time to invest in property or to deal with women regarding financial matters. The Full Moon on the 21st brings a transformation with your career, an ending and a new beginning. Partnerships, in general, will undergo a transformation for the better.

Jupiter indicates that friends will be extremely important to you. There will be an involvement with clubs and societies of one kind or another. The Full Moon on the 21st falls in your partnership zone, so tread carefully when dealing with loved ones to avoid upsetting them.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

The Full Moon on the 21st indicates you may be feeling a little stressed from being overworked at home and work. For Virgo parents, Jupiter in your 5th house indicates your children are growing into fine young adults and the insight they show will make you proud!

SAGITTARIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

The Full Moon on the 21st indicates that you may become involved with hospitals either because you require treatment or people close to you may be sick. Uranus indicates that your loving nature will be needed to heal some of the pain that is a part of life to come.

TAURUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

The Full Moon on the 21st warns you to be careful of accidents when driving and if you depend on public transport it may let you down.

At work, you will have to work in cooperation with and in charge of others.

Jupiter in your 5th house indicates that your interest in sport, culture and international affairs will certainly increase. The Full Moon on the 21st is in Leo warning you to be careful of losing your temper in the wrong place and at the wrong time.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

The 21 January Full Moon indicates you might be tempted to take a gamble, either literally or figuratively, as this can be a time of great gains, but there may also be surprising losses. Your creative juices will be flowing and you’ll embark upon projects close to your heart.

My favourite things CYCLING A great passion of mine is cycle racing and training. Cycling helps me stay fit and feeds my competitive juices when I race and teaches me to suffer when the pace is on, which feels like high-altitude climbing.

TENTS I love sleeping in tents and, some years, spend over 100 nights in them in the wilderness or at many basecamps around the world. The secret to comfort is a good mattress and pillow, warm sleeping bag and lots of movies on the tablet.

MOUNTAINS

Gavin Vickers

EXPEDITION LEADER & THE UMBRELLA FOUNDATION AUSTRALIA PATRON

Growing up in Cessnock, Gavin Vickers spent his childhood exploring an old, abandoned open cut coal mine that was bordered by a national park. Always active and loving the outdoors, he went to New Zealand to do a mountaineering course in the Southern Alps and then summited Mt Cook, which would be the first of many summits. From there, the mountains and goals got bigger, climbing the world’s sixth-highest peak, Cho Oyu, without oxygen, then leading an expedition to the summit of Mt Everest from the Tibet side in 2010. Gavin then led a successful expedition on the Nepal side of Everest and summited the fourth-highest peak, Lhotse, in 2011.

Gavin has continued climbing despite some setbacks, which included falling after his rope broke in Pakistan and getting a lung infection last year on Makalu in Nepal.

Any time I spend in the mountains is a joy and, although it gets very hard physically, at times, it makes me feel alive and really value what a beautiful environment I am in, way above the tree line where the oxygen is thin and the terrain is difficult.

COFFEE I really enjoy my coffee any time, but it is a must first thing in the morning. I have many devices to make the perfect coffee, whether I am at home, travelling or at base camp. I seem to be very popular on each expedition.

GIVING BACK Nepal has become my second home and I got the chance to help by becoming the patron of The Umbrella Foundation Australia. We are building a school, educating children and providing funds and sewing machines to set up micro businesses for women in the villages.
