HENRY’S CALL TO ARMS
Animal rescue group in dispute with RSPCA over re-homing Melissah Comber
U
p to a dozen dogs and cats are at risk of being euthanised every week due to the reluctance of RSPCA NSW to work with the Society of Companion Animal Rescuers to re-home impounded animals. The revelation comes three weeks after the RSPCA’s Rutherford shelter controversially put down two healthy Jack Russell Terriers, despite being in negotiations with the owner for their release. It also follows the disclosure of the $14 allowance paid to staff on the days that they euthanise animals, and a kill rate of 49 per cent for animals who were taken to the RSPCA pound from the Cessnock area. This latest storm comes off the back of an interview on Sydney’s 2GB radio last week, in which the RSPCA NSW CEO Steve Coleman stated that the Society of Companion Animal Rescuers (SoCARES) had been able to work with the RSPCA since June, but had chosen not to. SoCARES Vice-President David Atwell has hit back at this ‘disingenuous’ statement, saying that it is actually Mr Coleman who is dragging his feet on the issue. “We keep trying to engage with the RSPCA on the issue, and every time they knock it back.” Mr Atwell has told the Post of meetings held between both organisations, at which Mr Coleman was present, to try and reach a resolution.

Opening my eyes to the prevalence of breast cancer
A
s the editor of a newspaper, I receive literally hundreds of emails a week. From genuine press releases to companies basically wanting free promotion of their product or service. Most are quickly dispatched into the deleted items folder, but one in particular caught my eye this week regarding Breast Cancer Awareness Month occurring in October. I was genuinely stunned to read exactly how prevalent breast cancer is in Australia. One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. It is also worth noting that around 100 men are diagnosed with breast cancer each year as well. Of course I realised that this was a terrible disease and one that claims far too many lives every year, but that figure of one in eight of all the women in this country having to deal with it at some stage really hit home. In this job, I have to sheepishly admit to being somewhat blasé about appeals for help from charities seeking to publicise their fundraisers. There’s no doubt they are all hugely worthwhile causes, but the sheer number of requests can’t be

accommodated in the newspaper. But figures like this really hit home just how many of our readers will either have had breast cancer of know someone who has. We’ve highlighted the work of the Breast Cancer Network Australia but they are just one of many organisations all geared towards supporting those affected and helping fund reasearch into finding a cure. A very encouraging story emerged from the UK last week, predicting that more than 95% of breast cancer cases will be cured by 2050. By 2025, breast cancer researchers hope to have developed a blood test

In sport this week, our mighty Newcastle Jets get their A-League season underway against Sydney FC at Allianz Stadium on Friday night. I agree with captain Ruben Zadkovich‘s opinion that the minor altercation between midfielders Josh Brillante and Zenon Caravella was healthy for the team and showed that the boys are fired up and keen to fight for positions in the first eleven. The Jets’ first home game at Hunter Stadium is on Sunday, October 20 against Perth Glory.

Councillor’s call to arms as demand grows for men’s shed in Rutherford Melissah Comber
E
ast Maitland and Morpeth both have a men’s shed, and Maitland Councillor Henry Meskauskas thinks it’s about time Rutherford had one too. Councillor Meskauskas is on the hunt for a site, with or without an existing structure, with space for suitable parking to meet growing demand for the service. “I can name twenty people off the top of my head who would like this,” Cr Meskauskas said. “I’m appealing for any business people out there who have a site to give me a call. I’m open to anything at all just to kick it off.” The demand is expected to skyrocket if Maitland’s population keeps pace with projections, which would see the current population of the city of 73,000 jump to 120,000 by 2030. Most of this growth would be centred in the city’s west. The shed would also provide a meeting place for the aging population, who Cr Meskauskas said have invaluable skills that can be shared in the community. “You’ll find fitters, turners, boilermakers, carpenters – to be able to pass that on is a great achievement. “The shed would provide comradeship and give them a sense of self-belief, that they’re not on the scrap heap and they can utilise their skills.” To offer assistance, contact Councillor Meskauskas on 0418 606 965.

he upgrade of the eastbound roundabout overpass at Maitland railway station took a major step forward last week with consultants Parsons Brinckerhoff contracted to carry out the detailed design. State Member for Maitland, Robyn Parker, said with the contract now in place, design work will get underway earlier than expected. “This is great news for road users and the local community who are keen to see the project progress,” she said. “The upgrades aim to improve traffic flow, while catering for future traffic growth in this busy area.” Tenders to build the overpass are expected to be called by Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) in mid-2014, with construction expected to begin later next year. The overpass should be completed by late 2015. Meanwhile, work on the hospital roundabout upgrade will also begin earlier than expected. Minor work will be completed by the RMS at the site this month, including tree clearing and reallocating utilities near the roundabout. New slip lanes onto High Street and Bungaree Street, a new pedestrian crossing point to the north of the roundabout and new traffic lights to provide alternative access on the highway from Johnson Street

Council calling on general public to help reduce green waste stockpile Melissah Comber
W
hat’s crunchy but soft, brown but green, chunky but fine and absolutely free? The answer is mulch and for the month of October, Maitland City Council is giving it away by the trailer load. ‘Mulchtober Fest’ is an initiative of Council’s Waste Services division, who aim to move at least half of their 4000 tonne stockpile by the end of the month by waiving the normal $5.50 price tag. “People bring green waste in, we shred it, keep it in stockpile then give it back to the community,” Council’s Waste Services Coordinator, Elfi Blackburn explained. Ms Blackburn said that the current supplies had been collected over two years and that it is the perfect time of year to distribute it. “It’s especially great to put around the base of trees, because it will keep the moisture in and release nutrients.” Mulch also allows better movement of air and water as it breaks up clay in soil, provides insulation to keep plant roots cooler in summer and reduces the growth of weeds. The free mulch can be collected from the Mount Vincent Waste Facility on Mount Vincent Road between 8:15 and 4:00 every day.

ast Maitland’s Gillian Swain has been named as a finalist in the Australian Poetry Slam to be held in Sydney from October 11 to 13. Described as ‘three days of live literary mayhem’, contestants are given a microphone, a live audience and just two minutes to impress the judges with their original spoken word, poetry, hip hop, monologues and stories. Five judges are picked randomly by the MC. After each performance, judges hold up score cards using a 1- 10 scale, with 10 being the highest. Of the five scores for each poet,
only the middle three scores are counted. Miles Merrill, creative director of organisers Word Travels said poetry slams had increased in popularity across the world. “Expanding the Australian Poetry Slam into a three-day festival opens up more opportunities for diverse audiences and allows poets from a variety of communities to get involved. You can have an 80-year-old from Tasmania onstage followed by a sevenyear-old kid from Orange and a Malaysian hip hop artist from Queanbeyan” Merrill explained.

How did you get into poetry slams? Years ago on the North Coast I would participate in Slams held by David Hallet. After moving to Newcastle some time ago I entered heats for the APS. What do you like most about performing? I really enjoy performing my work to an audience because it brings so much more to the piece. You can learn a lot about your work through performing it, and your work can become so many unexpected things through that medium. I love reading the audience (as well as my poem) during a performance, which is rather challenging within the slam timeframe. Performing poetry brings the piece alive, not to mention the room and the people in it.

Maitland Regional Art Gallery director, Joe Eisenberg
unter regional art gallery directors have expressed their disappointment over reports that the director role at Newcastle Art Gallery could be facing the axe as part of Newcastle City Council’s restructure, endorsed by councillors last month. Reports surfaced early last week that the restructure would involve amalgamating the art gallery director role with the Newcastle Museum director and Civic Theatre manager to form one position to be known as Cultural Facilities Manager. Maitland Regional Art Gallery director, Joe Eisenberg, said the notion that one person could manage three distinct
cultural institutes was “implausible” and “unrealistic.” “It’s not a generalist job, it’s a very specific role,” Mr Eisenberg said of art gallery directors. “For a gallery like Newcastle to not be run by someone from the visual arts world is just bizarre. I’m just talking about my industry but we’re all saddened.” Further afield, Cessnock Regional Art Gallery director, John Barnes, declined to comment on Newcastle City Council’s restructure specifically, but said he was disappointed and angered by the reports in the media. Mr Eisenberg said he was not aware of any other gallery that operates without a dedicated director and added that he would be eager to see how Newcastle City Council plans to implement the changes.
Continues from page 1 These meetings were held in August 2011 and August 2013. Mr Atwell also said that SoCARES initiated contact again with the RSPCA NSW in October 2012. Furthermore, a resolution was passed by Cessnock City Council in June this year ordering the RSPCA (as the operator of their pound) to negotiate with animal rescue groups. Mr Atwell says that SoCARES was not approached by the RSPCA. According to Mr Atwell, when the tender for Cessnock City Council’s pound services was held by the Kurri Kurri animal shelter, SoCARES took 10-12 animals a week. Since the tender was awarded to the Rutherford RSPCA shelter they have not taken any.
Mr Atwell says that the reluctance of RSPCA NSW to work with SoCARES to re-home more animals was symptomatic of the business-driven focus of the organisation. “It comes down to the public accountability of the RSPCA,” Mr Atwell said. “There’s very much an institutional model in place, as well as arrogance and a reluctance to take on the ‘no kill’ principle. “They seem to be operating on a profitmaking business plan, but you can’t really claim that when you’re supposed to be a charity.” RSPCA NSW did not respond to the Post’s request for comment.

Riverlights Multicultural Festival to illuminate Maitland on Saturday
P
olish your dancing shoes, prepare your tastebuds and widen your eyes for the Riverlights Multicultural Festival, set to take Maitland by storm again this Saturday. “Riverlights is an event put on for the community, by the community,” Manager Community and Recreation Services Lynn Morton explained. Riverlights Multicultural Festival is an exciting afternoon and evening filled with music, dance and art, cultural performances and fashion parades, night markets, panel discussion and the Riverbank outdoor cinema. This year’s bigger and better program also features the new Cultural Village where you can touch, taste and try different cultures from around the world, and dragon boat racing on the river. “Over 25 different local and regional multicultural groups have been involved in planning the festival,” Mr Morton said. “All these groups are really excited to showcase their culture through dance and song performances, and to share their food and language. It’s really their event, but we’re very proud it’s happening in Maitland.” After dark the festival really comes to life. Hanging lanterns will light the night. Rhythm Brazil will lift the tempo. A whirl of samba beats and Brazilian carnival dancing will lead to the Riverlights spectacle. Hundreds of floating lanterns are released to transform the Hunter River in a mesmerising and unforgettable family experience.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month a time to show support for those affected
O
ctober is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to recognise the significant impact it has on Australian women and their families. Maxine Morand, CEO of Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA) and a breast cancer survivor herself, said breast cancer greatly affects Australian communities. “Every day 41 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in Australia. Breast Cancer Awareness Month is a time to show support for these women and their families.” Maxine said October is also a time to remember those who have passed away from breast cancer. “Each day seven Australian women lose their lives to the disease. October is a special time to remember and pay tribute to loved ones lost and to rally around those left behind.” Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Australian women, with one in eight women diagnosed by the time they turn 85. This year almost 15,000 Australian women and 125 men are expected to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Breast Cancer Awareness Month originated in the United States in the 1980s and is now an internationally recognised month for breast cancer awareness. Monday 28 October is Australia’s Breast Cancer Day, when all Australians can come together to show their support for women with breast cancer and their families. Maxine said it is encouraging to see communities right across Australia come together to raise funds and awareness

oll up your sleeves and pop on your rubber gloves – Graffiti Removal Day is almost here and volunteers are needed to help scrub and beautify Maitland and Kurri Kurri. The annual event, run by Rotary Down Under, not only aims to remove or paint over graffiti, but prevents it by encouraging the community to get involved. Rotary Down Under Project Manager, Bob Aitken, said that this year they hope to have a 10 per cent increase on the 600 volunteers who participated last year and the 8150 square metres of graffiti removed in 2012. “Community minded citizens are requested to identify and register heavy graffiti sites and also register their names to assist project leaders on Graffiti Removal Day.” Sites registered around Maitland include the New England Highway at Rutherford and Lochinvar, Sun and High Streets in the city centre and the Ledsam Street pedestrian underpass at Telarah. Lang Street in Kurri Kurri will also be cleaned. Graffiti vandalism is a problem across New South Wales and costs local communities millions of dollars each year. The New South Wales Government is committed to reducing this vandalism by encouraging local communities to get involved in the fight against graffiti. To register your involvement visit www.graffitiremovalday.org.au.
Breast cancer survivors with the My Journey Kit, available from the Breast Cancer Network Australia
of breast cancer. “Fortunately breast cancer survival in Australian continues to improve, with 89 per cent of women alive five years after their diagnosis.
This is partly due to the generosity of the Australian community helping to fund research and support programs.” BCNA’s resources include the My
Journey Kit, a free information resource specifically designed for Australians who have been newly-diagnosed with early breast cancer.
Removing the fear
Modern MRI scanner helping claustrophobic patients
U
ndergoing an MRI scan can sometimes be a daunting experience, especially if you suffer from claustrophobia, a fear of enclosed spaces. Even the thought of lying in a tight, dark tunnel while a machine hums and clunks loudly around your head can be anxiety inducing for some. Michael Halverson, chief radiographer at Hunter Radiography, Glendale, said the anxiety associated with having an MRI scan can be enough to stop some people from having a scan at all. “A lot of people suffer from claustrophobia so when you are confined in a space that’s very noisy, that can put a lot of people off and a lot of people will just turn around and say I am not having that done,” he said. Mr Halverson said Hunter Radiology uses an MRI scanner at is unique within the region, with a larger opening and shorter tunnel than other scanners and a vacuum to reduce noise, giving patients a greater sense of space and openness during the scan, helping them to feel more at ease. “Part of the reason we went for this MRI is to reduce the amount of people who can’t have a scan and to make it a much nicer experience for people.” As well as MRI scans, Hunter Radiology also offers CT scans, x-ray, ultrasound and OPG service and bulk billing is available.

STAYING HEALTHY
FASHION FIXATION
by Elisha Stein
by KATHERINE TWEED
Cholesterol isn’t always bad
S
ome health foods are killing us. Most people are familiar with macro nutrients, these are the broad groups called protein, fats and carbohydrates. None of these groups are bad. You use all of them to live. I read a study the other day that said much of people’s knowledge on fitness topics comes from media and advertising. Ads saying ‘low fat’ sound healthy to a lot of people, but we are consuming more low fat products than ever before. So why are we still getting fatter than ever? Low cholesterol is another line, some people now think this is a deadly poison. Cholesterol is essential in our bodies and helps make up and repair our cells. Our body can manufacture it as it is essential for brain health. Look up Chris Masterjohn Phd on the net for an expert’s view on what cholesterol really does, or search for Anthony Colpo – he shows women with higher cholesterol live longer! Your brain is the most cholesterol rich organ in the body! There are many studies that show low cholesterol negatively affects brain health. Research by an Iowa State University
scientist suggests that cholesterol-reducing drugs known as statins may lessen brain function. Yeon-Kyun Shin, a biophysics professor in the department of biochemistry, biophysics and molecular biology, says the results of his study shows that drugs that inhibit the liver from making cholesterol may also keep the brain from making cholesterol, which is vital to efficient brain function. “If you deprive cholesterol from the brain, then you directly affect the machinery that triggers the release of neurotransmitters,” said Shin. “Neurotransmitters affect the dataprocessing and memory functions. In other words, how smart you are and how well you remember things.” Scientists at the University of Bristol tested the effects of two commonly prescribed statins – pravastatin and atorvastatin. Pravastatin was found to have adverse effects on working and recognition memory. At the end of the day, it’s your body, you always get the final say, so make an informed decision because it’s you that has to live with the decision.
Paying that bit extra for quality
T
hese days, walking from one store and into another can be the difference between spending $100, $1,000 or even
$10,000. I recently went shopping for a new handbag and in my head, I had a rough idea of what I wanted it to look like but I was open to inspiration. I trudged all day long through store after store, trying to find the ‘right’ one but by the end of the day I was so mentally and physically exhausted that I had to give up. It wasn’t the sheer amount of bags that exhausted me, although there were thousands, it was the range in price that I just couldn’t get my head around. In one department store, I could buy a handbag for as little as $20 and one for over $10,000 and that’s not to mention the bags that were advertised as ‘price upon application’. The same thing happens with shoes, clothes, underwear and other accessories. For some people, spending a lot on fashion is no drama but what about the average people out there, the ones who can’t afford to just spend
wherever they want to – how do we choose what to pull out the big bucks on and what we scrimp on? Buying cheap doesn’t always pay off because some cheap things tend to wear out at a much faster rate however, cheap can mean value and there is nothing better than an item with good value for money. Variety stores like Kmart and Target are great for picking up those basic items at a reasonable price but there are some things you simply can’t do cheap, no matter how tempting. The first is shoes. I was always a serial cheap shoe-buyer (I’m talking $20 or less) and I loved it but that was until I pulled out my wallet for a pair of decent shoes. I have never looked back – decent shoes are better for our feet and are much more comfortable. You can’t get away with a cheap suit. A cheap suit will stand out next to a good one, and not for any positive reasons. If you spend a little extra to get something that fits right and has quality stitching and lining, it will last a lot longer too. Leather jackets and jeans are also worth the extra cash!

aries
March 21 to April 20
The focus is on your work life; if you are trying to win over a colleague or client, invite them to lunch to break the ice. Mercury is retrograde in your house of finances, so watch your spending as unexpected outlays are likely. It would be a good idea to give your credit cards a chance to recover before starting on your next spending spree. If a friend or relative is acting like a-know-it-all do your best to avoid getting into a spat with them.
TAURUS
april 21 to may 21
The focus is on loving your body and caring for its strength and beauty. Learn to appreciate what is unique about you, and don’t pick yourself apart. Mercury is retrograde in your partnership house so you need to forget about the small stuff and ignore mini-dramas. There are emotional pitfalls all around you and you’ll need to use tact and charm to get others to act decently.
GEMINI
may 22 to june 21
The focus is on your social life and being a team player, so instead of taking all the credit, give credit where credit is due. Your ruling planet Mercury is retrograde and there is likely to be a lot of tension, confusion and muddles involving family members. Unfortunately whatever decisions you make could turn out to be wrong, so avoid acting prematurely, instead wait until you are in possession of all the facts.
CANCER
june 22 to july 22
The focus is on your home and family. This is the ideal time to catch up with loved ones you haven’t seen for a while. You have underestimated how much you’ve been missing each other. Also be a great friend when your BFF texts you about her tough week, be sensitive. Mercury is retrograde and social plans may be suddenly cancelled or re-arranged, so be certain to have a plan B up your sleeve.
LEO
july 23 to august 23
VIRGO
With Mars in your sign making this a highly energetic month, it’s a fast and furious pace all the way, but at least you’ve got the physical strength and tenacity to cope with the pressure both at work and at home. If you can keep your head while all those around you are losing theirs, you won’t be doing too badly at all. Mercury is retrograde and you’ll need to watch what you say as it will come out wrong and you could cause someone pain.

Not One Dollar!
Romance beckons; if you have recently entered into a new partnership be ready for exclusivity talks by December. January and April will bring the career progress that you’ve worked hard for. If you’ve been contemplating a job change now is the time to go for it. During October, you need to be smart with your money and stick to your budget. The New Moon on the fifth is a positive time to step outside your comfort zones.
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 to NOVEMBER 22
The focus needs to be on letting go of past hurts as you’ll gain useful insights if you’re willing to live in the now. Mercury is retrograde in your sign from the 21st so be very careful of what you say and write as you’re likely to be misunderstood. You may think you speak with a reasoned, clear voice, but your emotional intensity will show through. You are also likely to take constructive criticism the wrong way.
SAGITTARIUS
november 23 to december 21
Focus on important friendships and give praise where praise is due with your loved ones and close associates. Explain why you think he or she rocks! With Mercury being retrograde you need to avoid pressuring companions to hang out as a group, instead revel in some one-on one time. From the 17th onwards Mars moves into your career sector and there should be quite a bit of extra money coming your way.
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 to JANUARY 20
Focus on your career and solving a tough work project and be ready to make a beeline to your boss with the solution. It is also important that you look at your money situation carefully and make some sensible decisions. Mercury is retrograde so be very careful of misplacing important pieces of paper. Also if you are waiting on something to be delivered you will find that it has been sent to the wrong address.

Focus on adventure and philosophy, as everything from international affairs to spiritual questions will tax your mind. Your desire to travel will be boosted, as indeed will your need to expand your knowledge, therefore, allow yourself encounters with new ideas. Mercury is retrograde and setbacks and problems at work are likely to loom large. Don’t be too hard on yourself, nobody can get everything right.

Communication is the name of the game and this is an excellent time to reconnect with old friends who make you laugh and plan a fun get together. Also your siblings, neighbours or colleagues will have interesting news to pass on. Mercury is retrograde in your house of home and family, indicating that there is likely to be a tense time on the emotional front, revealing a clash of interests between you and the family.

It’s this interplay of sound and physicality that has placed the Bon Scotts firmly at the vanguard of the folk revival. Their previous albums ‘Oddernity’ and ‘We Will All Die at the Hands of CGI’ commanded respect and attention around the country and earned them support slots with the likes of Tom Fun Orchestra as well as gracing the stages of such festivals as the St Kilda Festival and Port Fairy Folk.

Maddison’s honour
Paralympic gold medallist awarded prestigious scholarship
M
addison Elliott of Gillieston Heights has triumphed above 170 other aspiring Australian athletes to be awarded one of just five positions in the coveted Sport Australia Hall of Fame Scholarship and Mentoring Program for 2014. Elliott became Australia’s youngest Paralympic medallist in London last year, taking home four medals including gold in the women’s 4x100m freestyle (34pts) and silver and two bronze medals in individual S8 events. As a key component of the program, the young champion will benefit from mentoring from the most successful female surfer in history and The Sport Australia Hall of Fame Member, Layne Beachley. Elliott currently holds the S8 world record for 50m freestyle, which she broke in April at the Georgina Hope Swimming Foundation Championships shaving 0.16 seconds off the previous record to hit the wall in a time of 30.69. She also recently surprised everyone at the world championships in Montreal where she caused an upset taking gold ahead of two time world champion and three time Paralympic champion Jessica Long in 100m freestyle. “Being Australia’s youngest Paralympian has shown me that if I give it all I have I can achieve great things,” Elliott said. “Anything is possible.” The Sport Australia Hall of Fame hopes

to inspire the young sports people through access to a personal mentor and financial assistance. Scholarships are awarded to Australian athletes who are under 21 and represent the nation’s greatest sporting achievers ‘on and off’ the field. The program aims to provide its recipients with continual support and encouragement over a 12 month period, from 1st January to December 31, 2014. The program also grants funding over a 12-month period and a return airfare from sponsor Etihad Airways, for training and competition experience. Most valuably, the program makes available unrivalled access to and mentoring from a Member of The Sport Australia Hall of Fame – in Elliott’s case, Layne Beachley. Beachley is the only surfer to have claimed six consecutive world titles from 1998-2003, going on to win a seventh title in 2006. Beachley’s career spanned two decades and saw her claim copious titles and records internationally. “I think any aspiring athlete just needs someone to listen to them and share some wisdom,” Beachley said. “As an athlete I would look at myself as a sponge. I was smart enough as a young athlete to surround myself with individuals who had achieved what I wanted and who wanted to share their wisdom with me. “I had an abundance of mentors at my reach and I would not have achieved the success without their support and guidance.”
