This week... From the editor The more I talk to artists, the better I understand that art is a learned skill, to which there are no prerequisites. This total novice had a crack at resin art last weekend, thanks to the talented Effie of Artalicious Studios, who invited me to attend a four-hour workshop with a fabulous bunch of ladies. The process involved mixing epoxy resin, colouring it with pastes, glitters and inks, and pouring to our hearts’ content while manipulating the patterns that emerged with a heat gun. The whole thing was very cathartic. Despite all being beginners, I think everyone walked away with two pieces of wall art they were proud of – myself included. It just goes to show that, even though you might not think you’re creative, you can still produce art. Just like any other skill, however, there is always room for improvement. I think it would take some serious finessing to replicate the lunar-looking artwork I had my eye on in Effie’s studio (especially if we apply the 10,000 hours of practice rule to master a skill), but don’t let that put you off – shoot for the stars! Speaking of, a special shoutout goes to my dad this week, who celebrates his 50th birthday on Sunday 21 July – the same day man landed on the moon (AEST). - Georgia Osland

news Lake boaties go digital The number of boaties logging journeys with Marine Rescue Lake Macquarie via radio or phone call has dropped. From January to June, 1,867 calls were made to the Swansea Heads base, which was lower than usual, according to unit commander Mal Wardrop. During one particularly busy June weekend, Mr Wardrop said about half of all trips were registered digitally via the Marine Rescue smartphone app. “On a busy day, there could be three or four boats waiting to give their details,” he said. “This way, they don’t have to wait for [volunteers] to ask the colour, length of their vessel and how many people are on board, tying up the radio channel. “Of course, we still love to talk to the boaties.” In the same six-month period, 8,537 radio calls were made from the radio base at Swansea. This number was also down year-on-year, and that trend looks set to continue, if the first half of 2019 is anything to go by. The base usually clocks about 30,000 calls a year on average.

Of those 8,537 calls, 202 prompted vessel dispatches from the Pelican Boat Base. Mr Wardrop said newly-commissioned vessel, Neil Grieves, attended the majority of those, primarily in “outside” (open ocean) conditions. Volunteers attend all types of rescues, from basic tows and jump starts to emergencies. Rescues are categorised into three levels: assist (flat batteries), code two (boat about to be washed ashore), and code one (people in the water or vessel on fire). Most recently, volunteers assisted in the search for a 62-year-old fisherman who was swept from Snapper Rocks. His body was recovered last Thursday. That same day, their Newcastle and Port Stephens comrades were called out to a catamaran capsize incident off the coast of Newcastle, in which three people died and two were rescued. “Marine Rescue is not for everybody; every now and then it is not a pleasant duty, but our volunteers are prepared for that,” Mr Wardrop added.

“My guys – all 150 of them – are pretty special, and that’s not taking anything away from our brothers and sisters in the RFS [Rural Fire Service] and SES [State Emergency Service].” There are roles for everyone in Marine Rescue, from fundraising and administration to logistics, training and event coordination. The Lake Macquarie unit will hold an information night at the Pelican base on Wednesday 24 July from 7pm for anyone who would like to find out more. Phone 0427 952 432. - Georgia Osland

news Driverless shuttle bus arrives in city Newcastle council has ushered in the future of automated transport with the arrival of a brandnew driverless shuttle bus. The 11-seater vehicle was unveiled for the first time at private operator Keolis Downer’s Hamilton depot last week. The bus will undergo safety testing before passengers can enjoy the unique service along the harbour foreshore as part of a 12-month trial. The trial is set to gauge demand for driverless vehicle operations and assess their suitability in mixed traffic and transport scenarios in Newcastle. Lord mayor Nuatali Nelmes said it was a major milestone in the smart city journey. “The city’s vision for a smart, integrated transport network begins in earnest with the arrival of this new driverless vehicle, which we propose connecting with Newcastle’s integrated public transport network,” she said. “We are planning for passengers to be able to take in views of the city’s harbour along the proposed two-kilometre loop service from Watt Street along Wharf Road to Nobbys and back, making it very appealing to tourists.

“A larger circuit will include some of Newcastle’s other beachside destinations after a couple of months.” Keolis Downer’s new mobilities manager, Sue Wiblin, said the trial was being developed in accordance with national and state legislation to ensure it met all safety standards. “In-built computers and sensing systems capable of detecting obstacles, anticipating movement and evaluating risk of collision are what sets this vehicle apart from the risks associated with human-controlled cars,” she said. “These systems are capable of detecting vehicle movement and are also able to determine the travel route, make decisions to slow down, brake, and alternate the vehicle’s path if required.” A chaperone will be on board to stop the vehicle via an override system if necessary. In March, Newcastle Weekly spoke to University of Newcastle professor Kristen Pammer, who studied attentional allocation in driving, reading and dyslexia. She said the introduction of fully autonomous vehicles could lead to an increase in safety.

The new driverless vehicle at Keolis Downer’s Hamilton bus depot.

“It will save billions of dollars in terms of car crashes and injuries,” Professor Pammer said at the time. “Then there’s the smart city development – it will reduce congestion, emissions, and make transport more efficient. “But these [advantages] are really only going to become apparent once we have full autonomy and a connected system. “Therein lies the problem – to get to that point.” Professor Pammer argued potential issues could include hijackings of the computer system; legal implications if there was an injury or crash; and moral decision-making dilemmas when a human could not take control. - Ben Murphy

news Pedestrian safety works at Redhead

Thousands raised for homelessness

Mobile counselling launches in region

Works to improve pedestrian safety around Redhead Beach are under way. The works include the construction of 165 metres of new footpath, pedestrian refuge and other upgrades on the southern side of Beach Road, where kerb and channel, guardrail and pedestrian fencing will also be installed. Drainage improvements will also be made to the footpath at the northeast corner of Beach Road and Steel Street. Lake Macquarie council’s asset manager Helen Plummer says the new footpath will create a continuous link between existing footpaths along Collier, Steel and Cowlishaw streets, connecting the retail hub of Redhead to the much-loved beach. “With traffic and pedestrian volumes in the area continually increasing, it is essential for enhancements to be undertaken in this area to improve accessibility and safety for the community,” she says. Works are expected to wrap up later this year.

The 2019 Vinnies CEO Sleepout Newcastle raised more than $181,000 for homelessness services. Fifty-three CEOs and eight executive teams camped out in the cold on makeshift cardboard beds at McDonald Jones Stadium. The top five fundraisers were John Kell, Hicksons Lawyers ($15,421); Will Wright, Douglas Partners ($11,916); Adam Boyle, Pegasus ($11,899); Simon Linge, Bradken ($9,333); and Trish Sellars, Think Solutions Cleaning ($8,612). The top 10 CEOs raised a staggering $90,409 collectively. More than 116,000 people in Australia are currently experiencing homelessness – 14% of whom are aged under 12 and 39% under 25. Over a third of Australians experiencing homelessness are based in NSW. Donations are still being accepted until 31 July, while registrations for the June 2020 sleepout kick off on 1 August. Go to ceosleepout.org.au for more.

Reflex Social Services has launched a mobile counselling service for people living in the Newcastle region. The charity, founded in 2015, is using all proceeds from its services to create a rapid response trauma counselling service for those in need. “Current mental health support services are often overstretched, with long wait times, which leave people by themselves in the vital first few days after a traumatic event,” director of operations, Damien Southam, says. “We hope to change that, so people can get the help that they need, when and where they need it.” At-home counselling services are now available. The services include one-on-one, family, skill building and mentoring, and trauma aftermath response. Visit reflex.org.au to make a booking or to find more information on the charity.

news Check-ups to close the gap A five-year research project has been awarded a $745,000 grant to close the gap by increasing the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people who receive an annual health check by their GP. Renowned population health researcher, Laureate professor Rob Sanson-Fisher, from the University of Newcastle and Hunter Medical Research Institute (HMRI), will lead a team of expert Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal researchers. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Indigenous people have a life expectancy of about eight years less than nonIndigenous Australians. Professor Sanson-Fisher said timely diagnosis and appropriate management was vital to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. “Aboriginal people often receive

a diagnosis at a more advanced stage of chronic disease, which means there’s less opportunity to prevent their condition and health deteriorating,” he said. Chronic conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases, mental and substance use disorders, and cancer were listed as major contributors to unhealthy ageing. “The prevalence of most chronic diseases increases with age and affects not only physical health, but also the broader contributors to the wellbeing of older Aboriginal people, including participation in family, community and cultural leadership roles and connection with community networks,” professor Sanson-Fisher said. The project will comprise of strategies like medical education, recall and reminder systems, and mailed invitations to patients.

news Festive fun to start toy run It will be an afternoon of mates, motorcycles, and goodwill. Bikers for Kids’ Newcastle Toy Run is set to kickstart its annual fundraising drive for children in need during the festive season. The toy run, which enters its 42nd year, will launch with a Christmas in July celebration at Friday Bar Eats ‘n Beats at The Station, on the corner of Scott and Watt streets, tomorrow (Friday 19 July). Every December, more than 10,000 motorcycles from Newcastle and beyond roar into action for a vibrant fundraiser unlike any other. In 2018, a Superheroes edition raised an estimated $36,000 in cash and about $60,000 worth of gifts, while around 4,000 families were assisted with toys and presents from the Salvation Army. This year’s theme – Costume for Kids – has been inspired by the

Superheroes’ success, as well as the community’s ongoing commitment to help one another. Bikers for Kids treasurer Stephen Meek said he hoped the 2019 edition would be even better. “The Superheroes thing last year went off like a frog in a sock, it was amazing actually,” he told Newcastle Weekly. “There was a good turnout of locals and that’s really what we want to do in the long run – shift it away from the potbellied old guys and get more community involvement. “Bottom line is that’s what it’s all about – the kids and marginalised families in the community, always has been.” The launch will include a special appearance from Santa Ray and his sleigh, as well as the Salvation Army and Hunter Heroes. Celebrations kick off under the

Christmas Tree at 4pm and will continue into the evening. Mr Meek said The Station was an ideal location for the launch of a brand-new campaign. “This is the first time we’ve been here, it’s a fantastic site for this kind of thing,” he said. “It is probably almost big enough to bring the toy run to, but not quite. “That’s our problem – we used to go to the foreshore before the

Supercars – they finish a week before us, but the bump-out is two or three weeks. “We’re very happy with Wickham Park though, it’s a great venue as well – there is lots of room, lots of shade.” The Newcastle Toy Run will take place on Sunday 1 December, with the ride starting at Stockton and ending at Wickham Park. - Ben Murphy

Hunter businesses have been encouraged to raise awareness about the importance of youth skills development and help tackle unemployment amongst young people. “Globally, the United Nations estimates that youth unemployment is almost three times higher than the rest of the population and that imbalance is also represented here in the Hunter, where youth unemployment is more than double the general unemployment rate,” Hunter Business Chamber chief executive, Bob Hawes, said. “The latest figures show youth unemployment at 10.4% in Newcastle and Lake Macquarie and 11.8% in the Hunter Valley, compared with general unemployment rates of 4.7% and 5.4% respectively.” Mr Hawes’ comments came amid World Youth Skills Day, which took place on Monday. He said it was vital for the future of the economy that young people connect with work, and that businesses were able to source skills locally. The NSW Business Chamber released its 2019 Workforce Skills Survey this week, which will gather information on the skills needs of the state’s businesses. Mr Hawes called on local employers to participate in the survey, stating it gave them a chance to discuss their “skill challenges, experiences with the training system and, importantly, the challenges and benefits of developing young people in the workplace”. Go to surveymonkey.com/r/2019workforce to complete the survey. It will be open until Monday 29 July.

This is the first time the charity will have a Puppy Development Adviser and program based out of its Newcastle office on Wharf Road. Up to 30 puppies must be placed in Newcastle, Maitland and Lake Macquarie, with the young pups requiring a warm, loving home for their first year.

Volunteers will need to have access to a car, a fully fenced yard, not be away from home for more than four hours at a time, and be able to attend training days in their local area. They must also be available for information sessions, vet checks and puppy pre-school when required. Guide Dogs NSW/ACT will provide a strong support network. Ms Lee says the role of Puppy Development Adviser, which has been filled by Novocastrian Page Power, will be of benefit. “[Page] will take over the weekly and fortnightly classes and will be on hand for any questions,” she says. “She’ll do all the necessary checks and have the relationships with the puppy raisers.” In Australia, 28 people are diagnosed with sight loss that cannot be corrected every day, including nine who become blind.

A Rare Opportunity to Enjoy Walka Grange Lifestyle Village.

Parking boost for motorists New technology that has helped revolutionise parking in European cities is now available for motorists within Newcastle’s CBD. Find & Park is the latest addition to Newcastle council’s EasyPark app, which allows users to pay for parking and top-up any additional time needed, remotely, using their smartphone. Deputy lord mayor Declan Clausen believed it would be a gamechanger for parking in the city. “Find & Park takes the stress out of driving by providing motorists with clear, concise information on where best to find a park,” he said. “It is an incredibly intelligent form of technology that has been adopted by some of the world’s smartest and most technologically savvy cities, such as Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Rome, Milan, and Barcelona.” To use Find & Park, motorists can open the EasyPark app and click ‘Find’, then enter their destination. An in-built map then guides them to the best parking area closest to their destination. Cr Clausen added it would play a major role in easing congestion caused by motorists searching for parks. “Information provided by EasyPark shows about 30% of traffic in congested European cities, where the technology originates, is caused by people searching for parking,” he said. The Find & Park service is currently only available within the Newcastle CBD, however, the council will work to expand the footprint.

action on Saturday morning. One of the male competitors, Cameron Jeanes, has been a gymnast for five years. The 13-year-old is set to take on all six apparatus – floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and horizontal bar – and can’t wait to perform on home turf. “We’re used to the bars and all the apparatus here,” Jeanes says. “When we go down to Sydney to do a competition it can feel a bit weird, so that’s the advantage we have in the country championships.” Hunter Sport Centre programs manager Rohan Kennedy believes the event is important to strengthen gymnastics in regional areas. “We are one of the very few programs or gymnastics centres around the Hunter Region that offers men’s gymnastics,” he says. “So, it’s important for the sport that we provide a competitive outlet for these young athletes and they’re

all doing extremely well at the moment.” Kennedy says plans for a $35 million expansion of the centre will be a major boost. Lake Macquarie council lodged a development application last month, with proposed upgrades set to include a three-storey extension, an athletics warm-up and testing area, and a $10 million trampolining centre of excellence. “Hunter Sports Centre was always designed to be a regional hub for gymnastics and athletics and, 20 years on, that is still the vision,” Kennedy says. “Expanding into trampolining, specifically, will allow that vision to continue – it’s an area of gymnastics where we already have strength in the region. “So, having a dedicated facility for that purpose would really benefit trampolining in Australia.” The event wraps up this Sunday. - Ben Murphy

Key clash looms for Knights A run of one win in its last four matches has pushed the Newcastle Knights to the edge of the NRL’s top eight. Newcastle slid to seventh on the ladder after a 20-14 loss to the

Canterbury Bulldogs in round 17 at McDonald Jones Stadium on Friday night. This weekend’s assignment does not get much tougher as the premiers await at the Sydney

who raced 70 metres downfield. Canterbury spread the ball wide from the play-the-ball and Will Hopoate stormed through to score. Just past the hour mark, Newcastle forward James Gavet was sin-binned for a late hit on Chris Smith and former Knight Nick Meaney slotted the penalty kick to lock it up at 8-all. The Bulldogs then took full advantage of the extra man to score two quick tries for a 20-8 lead. Kenny-Dowall responded in the 73rd minute with his second try of the night, but the visitors held on for a gritty win. Newcastle’s round 18 clash with the Sydney Roosters will kick off at 3pm on Saturday 20 July. Star fullback Kalyn Ponga is expected to return from a calf injury, which kept him out of the State of Origin decider. - Ben Murphy

Cricket Ground. Sydney went on a streak of eight wins in a row earlier in the season but has since been inconsistent during a stretch of five defeats in its past seven matches, which included a 15-12 loss to North Queensland on Sunday. For Newcastle, the clash with the Roosters is a chance to get its playoff push back on track. In the loss to Canterbury, the Knights took an early lead when Mitchell Pearce, fresh off his first Origin series win, floated a brilliant long ball to Shaun KennyDowall, who strolled across to score untouched. It remained 6-0 until the 47th minute when Knights half Mason Lino booted a penalty goal after a high tackle on Josh King. The Bulldogs finally hit back 10 minutes later. Lino’s grubber kick was picked up by centre Marcelo Montoya,

Berry delicious

Thought berries were only a summer fruit? Think again! July is the start of blueberry season in Australia. NW shows you two ways to incorporate blueberries into winter comfort food. Recipes courtesy of Australian Blueberries [australianblueberries.com.au]

soft brown sugar, for sprinkling vanilla ice cream or cream, to serve For the filling 2 pears, peeled, cored & coarsely grated 4x 125g punnets fresh blueberries 2 Tbsp caster sugar finely grated zest & juice of ½ lemon ¼ cup (60ml) water 3 tsp cornflour For the topping 1¼ cups (185g) plain flour ¼ cup (55g) castor sugar 3 tsp baking powder pinch sea salt 80g chilled & diced unsalted butter ¾ cup (180ml) cream, plus extra for brushing 24

Serves 4 4 duck breasts olive oil, for drizzling sea salt

Blueberry cobbler Serves 6

Duck breast with Chinese-spiced blueberry sauce

For the sauce Preheat the oven to 180°C. To prepare the filling, place the grated pear, fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon zest and juice into a 23cm round ovenproof casserole dish. Blend the water and cornflour together in a small bowl, pour over the berry mixture and stir to combine. To prepare the topping, place the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and blend, until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs. Add the cream and blend until it begins to come together. Turn out into a bowl and mix to form a rough, lumpy dough. Divide the dough into six even pieces. Shape into rough balls and flatten slightly. Arrange five of the balls around the outside of the filling and place one in the centre. Brush the tops with a little cream and sprinkle with soft brown sugar. Bake for 40–45 minutes, until dumplings are golden brown and the filling is bubbling up around the sides. Allow to cool slightly for 10 minutes, before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or cream.

3x 125g punnets fresh blueberries 1 medium onion, finely chopped ¼ cup (60ml) chicken stock 1/3 cup (75g) brown sugar 2 Tbsp white vinegar 2 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped 1 star anise 1 dried red chilli ½ cinnamon stick 1 tsp Szechuan pepper 3 whole cloves Preheat an oven to 180°C. Score the duck skin using a sharp knife to make a crisscross pattern. Drizzle the duck with oil and season with salt, rubbing to coat. Preheat a large frying pan over low heat. Cook the breasts skin side down for 5–10 minutes, until the fat has rendered, and the skin is crisp and golden. Drain the fat into a heatproof bowl. Turn the duck breasts over and cook for 1–2 minutes, until

browned. Transfer the duck into a roasting dish and cook in the oven for 10 minutes, for medium. Meanwhile, to make the Chinesespiced blueberry sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to the simmer over lowmedium heat. Cook for 10 minutes, until the blueberries have softened, and the sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Strain the sauce through and fine mesh sieve, rubbing with the back of a spoon, to push the pulp through. Discard the remaining solids. Return to the pan and keep warm. Remove the duck from the oven, cover with foil and set aside to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve with sauce. Tips • Duck fat can be stored in the refrigerator and used for roasting potatoes later. • Chicken breast can be substituted for the duck. Preheat a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts skin side down for 6–7 minutes, until crispy and golden brown, turn and cook for 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Transfer onto a tray, cover with foil and rest for 10 minutes.

Aussie energy unmatched From singing in church as a kid to releasing 15 studio albums in the country music capital of the world, Tim McGraw has seen it all. But nothing compares to the energy from his Australian fanbase. “The thing about Aussies that has impressed me every time I’ve played there is certainly their knowledge of the music,” McGraw says. Hunter punters will get the chance to rock out to McGraw’s music when he performs a headline show at Hope Estate, Pokolbin on Friday 4 October off the back of the Country 2 Country festivals in Sydney and Brisbane in September. Fans can expect to hear some new material, such as the hit single Thought About You, as well as others from McGraw’s discography. “When I walk on stage, I’m sort of entering a contract with the audience to release reality for a little while,”

he adds. It’s a far cry from his origins in Louisiana, where he remembers vividly riding in his stepdad’s truck when he was five or six years old, hauling cotton feed through Louisiana and Texas. “Driving down the highway and listening to 8-tracks of Merle Haggard and George Jones, Charlie Rich and Charlie Pride – five or six years later I could sing you every song on those 8-tracks,” he recalls. McGraw picked up a guitar and started playing in restaurants and bars. Before too long, his family encouraged him to move to Nashville. “One day I talked to my mum and she said, ‘I don’t know why you haven’t done it already’,” he says. Tickets to McGraw’s Hope Estate show are available via ticketek.com.au

Eight months later, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and his classmates embark on a trip to Europe, and soon run into another Elemental. The movie serves as an epilogue to Avengers: Endgame, wrapping up the loose ends while positioning the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s new focal point for a younger audience. Where the previous solo entry Spider-Man: Homecoming had Spidey longing to be accepted into the adult world and the accompanying responsibilities of being an Avenger, Far From Home has Spidey regressing, wanting to be nothing more than a teenager; to

go on a class trip, and kiss the girl of his dreams. Like Homecoming, a lot of baggage comes along to join our hero: Iron-Man again casts a huge shadow, not only serving as a crushing legacy to live up to, but also bringing personified consequences to his previous poor behavior. Unlike Sam Raimi’s original trilogy, the MCU’s take is quite inconsequential, lessening our hero’s burden and character study, choosing instead to share the landscape with secondary characters and take a much lighter tone (think John Hughes comedies). Here’s hoping the next entry in the fourth phase of the MCU can shake up its mythology and make our new Spidey shine. Verdict: Beautiful looking and breezy fun, which lacks the grit, angst and weight of previous outings. 3 stars. - Luke McWilliams

Challenges from life on the land From water scarcity to food security, Patrice Newell is at the frontline of enormous challenges. Mrs Newell left her job in 1987 to become an organic farmer in the Hunter Valley. Based at Elmswood Farm in Gundy, she grows garlic, makes olive oil, and keeps bees. It is from this vantage point she sees many unsustainable processes. “This extraordinarily diverse agricultural sector of ours is also the third biggest carbon emitter behind electricity and transport,” she tells Newcastle Weekly. “Most of NSW is in drought and yet there’s this massive overgrazing and production of greenhouse gases. “In this time of climate change, managing the land has never been more important.”

Mrs Newell examines some of the problems for Australian farming in her new book Who’s Minding the Farm? In this climate emergency. Her love song to a life on the farm and part-passionate appeal aims to make people think differently about food consumption and the damage it reaps on the land. Some of the issues she points to include the neglect and abuse of land by farmers; a shrinking, unskilled labour force of short-term workers; depressive illnesses and isolation; and the chemical industry’s stranglehold on farmers. She believed the agricultural sector needed to “rise up” and address greenhouse gas emissions head-on. “There’s this, ‘Oh, the poor farmers are struggling’ [mentality],

Beat the Holiday rush!

Organic farmer Patrice Newell will discuss her new book at Cessnock City Library.

but that’s not the story we should be constantly telling,” she says. “When people have sympathy for you as a farmer, psychologically it can be confronting and not helpful. “A farmer is a businessperson; nimble, creative, adaptive – that’s what I’d like to think I am as a businesswoman. “The ag sector is not the only

one that has an issue adapting to change.” Mrs Newell will discuss her book during a free Meet the Author event at Cessnock City Library on Thursday 25 July from 5pm to 6.30pm. Bookings essential. Visit libraries. cessnock.nsw.gov.au for more. - Ben Murphy

Flood emergency Flooding can cause serious damage to your property, affecting walls, ceilings, floors and furniture. You might think it will never happen to you, but burst pipes are one of the most common household emergencies in Australia. The Kennards Hire team shares its top tips for cleaning up the aftermath. Turn off your water main If a pipe has burst on your property, you will most likely hear water dripping or spraying. Locate the pipe, assess the area and then completely switch off your water supply. Then, head back over to open your taps to drain the remaining water from the system.

time to deal with the watery mess. Drying out your property is the first step in any clean-up operation. Depending on the extent of the flooding, you may require pumps to help remove trapped water and clear pools that may have formed. A high performance, portable pump makes it easy for you to suck the water out of multiple rooms quickly and efficiently.

Pump it

Turn up the blower dryer

Now that you’ve prevented the flooding from getting worse, it’s

After the water has been pumped out, a blower dryer should be used

to remove any excess moisture. To achieve the best possible result for your space, and more importantly, save yourself time and energy, hire a blower dryer. These generate large volumes of air, rapidly drying flooring, walls and ceilings and preventing mildew from setting in. Used in conjunction with a dehumidifier, a high-power blower dryer will efficiently remove moisture content in any room and save your home from potential mould and bacteria growth.

Dehumidify to sap the dampness Say goodbye to any remaining moisture by using a dehumidifier. These handy machines will prevent your wallpaper from peeling, protect home electronics, preserve documents and keep any odours at bay. Expert tip: Dehumidifiers work best in enclosed areas, so, if the moisture is confined to a certain area, such as a bedroom or bathroom, place the dehumidifier inside and close doors and windows.

in the garden

Don’t be tempted to prune roses now.

Mid-winter blues

Sadly, being out of action for two weeks due to illness has led to total neglect of my garden. This is something that happens in most gardens during winter, especially during July, when we see little end of it in sight. The feature of my garden is a bed of standard ‘Elina’ roses, as they are such a highlight when the depth of winter arrives. Elina is a beautiful cream hybrid tea rose, which bears large, full blooms, backdropped by a fence covered in climbers. Pity it is too early to prune the climbers, which shouldn’t be touched

until after the spring/summer flush, if at all. I must admit this winter they are lifeless, almost dead with not much foliage remaining until the new spring shoots appear. It is tempting to prune roses early in winter, but it will create a stronger plant if they are allowed to go dormant. Rose pruning is an art, perfected by watching experienced gardeners, or simply by trial and error. Firstly, remove any deadwood from the plant, bagging any diseased leaves for the bin, then cut back at least one-third of the growth, leaving strong stems to bear new growth. It is wise to keep any strong, healthy growth while removing spindly shoots. Prune 6mm above a new bud, cutting cleanly on the same angle, cleaning up the rose as you go. An important job after pruning is to spray with lime sulphur, then feed with a full bucketful of poultry manure (not pelleted), followed three weeks later by a handful of rose food. My hint for pruning standards – that is, a rose grafted on a tall stem – is to keep in mind the shape and size of a soccer ball when pruning. Don’t apply poultry manure to roses grown in pots; feed instead with Sudden Impact.

THIS WEEK • Winter grass is overtaking lawns damaged in summer – it appears as fine, green tufts and it should be sprayed with a winter grass killer. • There is still time to plant pansies and primula for a pretty spring garden. • Time to pot up hippeastrum bulbs, which look great in a large shallow bowl. • Dissolve a tablespoon of sulphate of ammonia in water and apply around for parsley for instant greening.

The latest in news, trends and happenings for the home. Safety first Australia’s peak furnishing body, the Australasian Furnishing Association, has supported ACCC recommendations for a law banning the sale of unsafe goods. Recent ACCC data estimates the annual cost of injury and death caused by unsafe consumer products, including furnishings, is at least $5 billion. There are around 780 deaths and around 52,000 injuries per year from consumer products. Families are urged to check the safety of a product before purchase.

Keep your clutter The tidying up mania sparked by Marie Kondo could be destroying valuable history for future generations. A paper

published by Australian Catholic University historian Associate Professor Noah Riseman has identified personal archives as a key resource for historians. Assoc Prof Riseman said while historians traditionally depended on official archives or oral histories, the private papers, notes and cuttings in an individual’s shoebox could fill in important gaps – particularly when official sources were hidden or redacted. Personal archives can also corroborate – and sometimes challenge – the recollections of oral histories, which are essential when historians try to recover the voices of people who were forced to be silent.

July 19 – 25

PICK OF THE WEEK Alien Sunday, 7MATE, 8.30pm, M (1979) Ridley Scott’s horror in the stars is still the Citizen Kane of its kind. This yarn about a drooling, insidious extraterrestrial stowaway (designed by H.R. Giger) that terrorises a spaceship crew is a white-knuckle ripper. Aboard the Nostromo are mining employees (including Sigourney Weaver, pictured) who are interrupted by an SOS call which they politely heed, only to encounter a mass of disturbing remnants. What follows is a ﬁne display of pest removal from Weaver as the brassy Ripley.

Friday

The Hitman’s Bodyguard

Hot Fuzz Thursday, GO!, 9pm, MA15+ (2007) From the warped minds that brought you hilarious horror spoof Shaun of the Dead comes this criminally funny copmovie parody which plays like Bad Boys meets Midsomer Murders. London bobby Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg, pictured), a PC with an arrest record 400 per cent higher than any other, is sent off to a sleepy Somerset village because he’s making the rest of the force look bad. It’s supposed to be an easy gig, but pretty soon he’s up to his eyeballs in murder.

Tuesday, NBN, 9.15pm, MA15+ (2017) Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson (pictured) are undoubtedly enjoying themselves in this action-comedy directed by Australian Patrick Hughes (The Expendables 3). Despite its over-the-top action sequences, profanity and violence, it is clearly aiming to be a fun experience, almost pushing it into the “spoof” category. Reynolds and Jackson evidently have an onscreen chemistry that is hard to deny, making this overblown pastiche a minor success.

Neptune is Rose’s governing planet during the year ahead and her ideals seem to be clearer and more spiritually orientated than ever before. Her desire to evolve and understand her inner self will be a doubleedged sword. Any past emotional hurts and deep emotional issues will be dealt with and removed for good. Rose needs to spend a little more time caring for herself as it’s likely some friends will drain her of energy with their own personal problems.

ARIES: 21 MAR – 20 APR

CANCER: 22 JUNE – 22 JULY

LIBRA: 24 SEPT – 23 OCT

CAPRICORN: 22 DEC – 20 JAN

Neptune retrograde could make you feel a bit strange and tense and it could bring you some sort of unexpected expenses. The best thing to do is to stick to your usual routine and not start anything new or important until Neptune goes direct in November.

Think before you act! That’s the astral message until Neptune goes direct in November. Any impulsive actions made at this time might be regretted, so take care! Breathe deeply before you commit yourself to anything. Everything from international affairs to religious questions will tax your mind.

Neptune retrograde concentrates on your working life, indicating that it may be time to call a halt to any activity that isn’t giving you sufficient reward or satisfaction. If your health’s been troubling you then it’s time to get the problem sorted once and for all.

Your mind is racing so fast you could cause misunderstandings, especially with Neptune retrograde until 28 November. You may receive some wounding criticism, although you’re probably being a touch sensitive. If these hurtful words were meant to be constructive, consider addressing the issues they raise.

TAURUS: 21 APR – 21 MAY Don’t take anyone or anything too seriously until Neptune goes direct in November. If you’re single and have recently met someone new, be very careful of anyone who professes undying love. So they say you have lovely eyes and an amazing body. This doesn’t mean it’s lasting love.

LEO: 23 JULY – 23 AUG

GEMINI: 22 MAY – 21 JUNE

VIRGO: 24 AUG – 23 SEPT

Am I doing the right thing? That’s the question buzzing inside your head at the moment as confusion or doubt sets in. It’s all the fault of Neptune being retrograde until November, which has you questioning ideas you’ve taken for granted. Time and determination will solve this problem.

With Neptune retrograde, you may find someone close to you acting in a particularly awkward manner, or that it’s near impossible for you to get through to them. Nothing is going to be easily resolved in your personal relationships until Neptune turns direct in November.

Your mind seems to be full of quite inspired ideas, but are they really practical? It may be better to leave anything that is detailed, difficult or terribly important until your brain is a little less full of fluff – or until Neptune goes direct again on 28 November!

SCORPIO: 24 OCT – 22 NOV Your life needs some kind of rearranging as you’re shouldering too many burdens both at work and home. You’ll need to deal with this soon before you feel too pressurised. You may need more assistance from those around you or to take on extra staff.

SAGITTARIUS: 23 NOV – 21 DEC With Neptune retrograde until 28 November, you’ll be keeping a lot of unexpressed frustration under control. However, internal pressure is building. Don’t keep negative feelings bottled up, but exploding in all directions isn’t good either. Resolve the root cause of the problem rather than taking it out on others.

AQUARIUS: 21 JAN – 19 FEB With Neptune retrograde, financial matters will benefit from some forethought between now and 28 November. You’d be wise to turn your shrewd mind to encouraging your bank balance. Chances are you can make savings on unnecessary expenses and relieve yourself of unwanted debts.

PISCES: 20 FEB – 20 MAR Vague is the best word to describe you, especially since your ruling planet Neptune is running retrograde until 28 November, which makes you slightly scatter-brained. However, before you start blaming others for not understanding your intentions, be sure to explain yourself clearly.

My favourite things NEWCASTLE FORESHORE AND BEACHES

Photo AJM Photography

I just love walking the foreshore; where else can you see a working harbour up close? Newcastle – why would you want to live anywhere else?

FAMILY/HOME TIME I really enjoy just relaxing at home, pottering in the garden and, after a long day on the mower, a quiet ale or two with Sue and, occasionally, the kids.

FORMER NBN SPORTS REPORTER

Originally from South Australia, Mike arrived in Newcastle in 1980 and “fell” into television in 1981, which kickstarted a love affair with the media and the city. After three decades in television and 17 years on radio, Mike has witnessed the sporting landscape in Newcastle change dramatically, as well as the city itself. A massive highlight was the Newcastle Knights’ victory in the 1997 grand final – the build-up, the win, the party that night but, most of all, the amazing parade on the Tuesday and the live telecast on NBN – something special. Newcastle has been very good to Mike and he hopes over the years he has been able to put something back through community work to say thanks. He is married to his best mate, Susan, with three boys and five grandkids to keep them busy. 62

I have fallen in love with snow skiing, especially Canada, and travelling overseas, as well as in Australia with our “caravan of courage”.

OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES I am the world’s worst fisherman but the serenity of sitting in a quiet spot dangling a line is a real pleasure. Add to that a poor attempt at being a golfer, which provides some physical activity.

TRAVELLING

COMMUNITY WORK I continue to assist with compering charity events across Australia but more so here in the Hunter. I get a great deal of satisfaction from being able to assist others.
