William Cox Historical Festival Celebrates Bicentenary Trilogy This year’s William Cox Historical Festival and Open Day at the Arms of Australia Inn Museum on Sunday July 19 marks the final chapter in the bicentenary trilogy of the colony’s early years. At 11am on the day, Fiona Scott, Federal MP for Lindsay will unveil a plaque at the museum to commemorate the three bicentenaries, the crossing of the Blue Mountains by Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson in 1813; the building of the road across the mountains by William Cox in 1814; and Governor Macquarie’s trip over the new road to the settlement on the western plains, which he named Bathurst. Music by Tall Timbre Country and Western Band, with guests Roger Corbett and Clare O’Meara from the Bushwackers, and the Penrith City Band, will entertain visitors. To make sure all goes smoothly, the NSW Corps of Marines will keep order. As in previous years, the festival will have a host of activities for young and old - including wagon rides, animals and pony rides, the old fashioned school room, merry-go-round and jumping castle, plus plenty of stalls and food. The William Cox Festival and Open Day is at the Arms of Australia Inn Museum on the corner of the Great Western Highway and Gardenia Avenue, Emu Plains from 9am to 3pm. Admission is free.

Queens Birthday Honours For Local Bruce

Rev Roger Cunningham P: 4735 1001 E: office@emuplains.anglican.asn.au W: emuplains.anglican.asn.au Service Times: Sundays @ 8:00am, 9:30am and 6:30pm Plus activities for adults and young people throughout the week

All That Glitters is Not Gold In the last twenty years I’ve seen friends move to the four corners of the globe – Africa, the Americas, Europe and the Middle East. Fortunately for us, they come back and visit Sydney from time to time. And this coming and going gives them a unique insight into what we’re like, what’s changed, what we show by our choices is important. So how about this from one who visited again after a few years away. They wrote on Facebook ‘Sydney, since I left you, you're become especially shiny, beautiful and oh, so wealthy. You entice like Narnia's White Witch with Turkish delight, and as such, you're also dangerous.’ Wow! It makes you think. We do live in a beautiful place. We have a beautiful climate. We have activities and ‘toys’ laid on. We have so much to be thankful for. And we are among the wealthiest people in the world. But here’s the rub. It’s like heaven on earth. But all that glitters is not gold. Jesus said “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21)� Jesus doesn’t deny the value or the goodness of what we have in this life. After all, he takes credit for it! But he did warn against only valuing what you can see in the short term, at the expense of what is valuable in the long term. That’s our danger! This isn’t the investment column, is it, but my hot tip? Take a moment this month to consider what an onlooker would decide is what you value. And if you value more than just what can be seen, consider Jesus’ invitation for a greater investment, trusting life from God, and eternal life beyond the grave.

Did You Know? Christmas in July is believed to have originated in Australia in July, 1980 when a group of Irish tourists had the proprietor of a hotel in the Blue Mountains in New South Wales to hold a party called Yulefest Source: theholidayspot.com/christmas_in_july/christmas_in_july_facts.htm

Long time Emu Plains resident Bruce Turner was recently appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) as a part of the Queen’s Birthday honours for this year. Mr Turner, who retired in 2012, had previously worked as the Chief Internal Auditor for the Australian Taxation Office. His expertise and experience in the field have made him a leader in the global auditing sector, winning numerous major awards throughout the years. “I am both honoured and humbled to be appointed a Member of the Order of Australia. It brings with it a great sense of pride for both myself and my family. It’s payback for all of those people that have invested in my growth� said Mr Turner. He has already received a formal notification of his appointment from the Governor General’s Office and is looking forward to the ceremony in September/October, where he will receive a badge and certificate, marking this honour. Mr Turner is currently a Board Member for the Western Sydney Local Health District and the Institute of Internal Auditors (Australia), proving that life certainly does not slow down in retirement. “My focus now is to put back into the community what it has given me. I enjoy mentoring and coaching, whether it be speaking at conferences or storytelling� he explained. For anyone in the local community aspiring to achieve a Member of the Order of Australia honour, Mr Turner has this advice, “It’s important to be yourself. Work hard. Deliver on your objectives. Be innovative and leverage human relationships. Never lose focus on personal relationships�. The Emu Leonay Gazette would like to congratulate Mr Turner on his newly appointed honour and wish him all the best in all that lies ahead.

Time Capsule Competition: Be Part Of History! A time capsule will be buried as part of Penrith’s Bicentenary celebrations and Penrith. Council is running a competition to find objects to put in it. Penrith’s community is being asked to think ‘outside the square’ and suggest items for the time capsule which reflect the city and the community of Penrith in 2015. Suggestions and ideas for this competition can be posted as a comment, photo or video to Council’s Facebook page from 22 June to 7 August 2015. Winners will be selected by Penrith Council and will be invited to help bury the time capsule in a special ceremony at Thornton Oval in September. Penrith Mayor Councillor Ross Fowler OAM said this competition is an opportunity for people to be part of history. “Penrith has come such a long way in 200 years; we know this because we are lucky enough to have found documents and artefacts which help tell the story of our ancestors,” Cr Fowler said. “We can’t predict what life will be like here in another 200 years but we can make it easier for our future residents to know what life was like. A time capsule is a great way to do that.” To enter, either sign up or log on to Facebook and visit Council’s Facebook page – www.facebook.com/penrith.city. council Important Info • Penrith Council will decide what objects go in the time

PARENTS CORNER

Article by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) Nepean Student – Wellbeing Worker – Mulgoa Public School, Nepean Community & Neighbourhood Services Ph: 0409 986 121 Centre: 4721 8520 Blog: http://handsheartsminds.wordpress.com

Do You Have a Child Who is Different? A Quirky Kid? He or She Does Things Differently to Other Children? When does ‘quirky’ stop being an expression of the individual and an indication that some intervention is required? I met a special needs teacher recently who has over thirty years experience teaching quirky kids. I put the above question to her. She said “those who could, would”. So if children in general are able to draw at the age of four then your four yearold child should be able to draw, even if she isn’t that keen on it. If your 6 year-old child isn’t making friends when other 6 year-olds have fit in nicely and found a group of children he can relate to, then your child is experiencing some limitations in his social and emotional development. The special needs teacher also said that the labels don’t help - lazy, stubborn, aggressive, naughty, bad, stupid, a typical boy/girl, etc, - they get in the way of finding out what is really happening for your child. Is it a medical problem? A physical problem? A neurodevelopmental problem? It’s very good advice. I’ve seen anxious children labelled as lazy. After I’ve had a chance to observe the child I have asked ‘lazy or terrified?’. The earlier that we seek help for our child, the better our child’s prospects will be. There is too much reliance these days on Dr Google. Too many parents are trying to diagnose their child’s difficulties and apply ill-fitting solutions. I can’t tell you the number of times a parent has spoken in a parenting group about his/her child’s difficulties and the other parents have jumped in with solutions based on what they think the diagnosis could be. Or a wellmeaning relative or friend has told a parent that she thinks her child has autism because she knows someone who has autism and they have tantrums just like that. Chances are your motherin-law, friend, neighbour, or local shopkeeper is not qualified to make that call. NOTHING beats an assessment by a qualified professional – community health, paediatrician, clinical psychologist, occupational therapist, speech pathologist. The first point of contact should be your General Practitioner (doctor) because you can get financial assistance from Medicare to help with the costs if you get a treatment plan from your GP. Quirky is absolutely fine, but if your child is limited in one or more areas of development (fine motor, gross motor, social, emotional, intellectual) it can lead to psychological or mental health problems later in childhood or during adolescence, and it’s often much easier to get help when a child is young rather than when the behaviours have become entrenched later. Of course, you are your child’s best advocate. So if you think that some pieces of information are missing or lacking, or you think you are not getting a quality service, it may be wise to seek another opinion. Keep pushing on because when you do find the right service for your child and he or she is happy and achieving (and possibly still ‘quirky’), it is worth all of the effort.

HorsePLAY are you game?

Photos: Ross Pulsford

An exciting, new and revolutionary game has just been released in Australia, and it’s already got tails wagging. “Why Revolutionary” you say? Even before you strip off the packaging you’ll notice some of the Design and Quality reasons ‘why’. HorsePLAY has been created by some proud Aussies doing what Aussies do best – take on the stuffed shirts and seriously raising the bar on what we can expect from a ‘game’. Whether you love action, challenges, to answer trivia, mime, draw, sing badly or well, HorsePLAY has something for everyone! And if you’re not into games or don’t have anyone handy to play with, don’t worry. HorsePLAY is great value for money as it is TWO of our favourite products in one – exciting adventure game PLUS veritable coffee table book in a box. There’s loads of entertainment options packed into this sexy elegant plastic game box. Portable, playable and durable that honourable trait of yesteryear of being Built to Last – is back! No wonder HorsePLAY has just been awarded the Australian Top 100 Smart Products Award for 2015. What makes this game truly impressive is that it has only been released in the last few months and already it has won this prestigious award. What a great name. As it name suggests, the game is based on all things fun and entertaining. Horses are hard wired to have some horseplay every day – now so can we. A huge array of global talent, experts, artists and celebrities, has been harness together for our pleasure. And who’d have guessed featured in HorsePLAY is Mulgoa local Charlie Brister.

Charlie is indeed a colourful character who chose to study a Bachelor of Political, Social and Economic Science at Sydney University primarily because it’s “Hogwarts” - the sandstone buildings! This beautiful adventure game includes works by artists such as Tim Flach, Robert Vavra, Sir Alfred Munnings, Sidney Nolan and Pablo Picasso. It is the first time the Picasso estate has said yes to a Picasso image being included in a game before. A massive achievement in itself for this brilliant Aussie game. The objective of the game is simple. The winner is the one with the most points at the end of the game time. Game time can be 10 minutes, 10 hours or 10 days! Whatever time you want. There are 385 adventure cards with over 1,200 fun experiences. That’s hours of memory making fun to be had solo or with others. We invite you to have a look at the game teaser video and listen to the game song. You can download the song for FREE at www.horseplaygame.com. This singalong song was created by none other than Tony King, winner of the International Songwriter of Year Award.

HorsePLAY is available at a games store, Horseland or Saddleworld store near you or online at www.horseplaygame.com.

HEALTH MATTERS

Article by: Andreas Klein, Nutritionist & Remedial Therapist at Beautiful Health & Wellness – 0418 166 269

Fixing Chronic Migraines 'Migraine is a common distressing headache that can start in childhood but most commonly starts at age 20 or 30 and infrequently after 40. Migraine is more common in women possibly due to hormonal factors, and chronic migraines can really destroy a person’s quality of life. Typically migraines are one-sided moderate-severe throbbing headaches, often presaged by auras (visual disturbances such as bright zigzag lines, flashing lights, difficulty in focusing or blind spots lasting 20-45 minutes). They can last from 4-72 hours, accompanied by nausea/vomiting; sensitivity to light, sound & smell along with a laundry list of other symptoms such as difficulty concentrating, speaking, poor coordination, stiff neck & shoulders, tingling pins & needles, numbness, limb weakness, loss of consciousness, even paralysis!! Migraine involves hypersensitivity of certain brain areas to environmentally triggered release of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and noradrenaline, resulting in altered cranial-bloodvessel flow. Some people can manage migraines with pharmacy medications, for many these aren’t effective. So what a possible solution?

In practice we find that carefully releasing and lengthening all neck & shoulder muscles using specifically targeted muscle elongation therapy techniques, reduces the inflammation in the muscles through which the blood supply to the brain has to flow. This 1. Removes one of the main triggers that alters cranial blood flow leading to migraines & 2. Reduces severity and frequency of migraines, so sufferers for whom medications have proved ineffective can now often live symptom & medication free.

What Do You Tell Your 3 Year Old When a Grandparent is Dying? Your Dad is close to death, and the time has come to tell your innocent 3 year old what’s happening with Grandpa. You’re thinking everyone is giving advice and I don’t know what to do. Some of the thoughts you have: • “I don’t know what to say or how to say it?” • “Should I mention it because they won’t understand anyway” • “Will I do more harm than good?” • “Will it damage them, knowing Grandpa is dying?” • “I don’t know what to say” and many more. So here’s what to do: Your child knows something is going on because everyone’s upset and crying. Let them ask their questions and answer them in a way that they’ll understand. Tips to help your child grieve: Help them feel they are secure within the family are a part of the circle of life. Let them create memories of Grandpa. • Take photos of your child and grandpa together • Let them sit with Grandpa or play around him • Drawing pictures of Grandpa • Write letters to Grandpa • Make a “Grandpa and Me” book I’m sure you and your family can think of more ideas to add to this list. What’s happening developmentally? • At ages 3-5 years children don’t understand concepts of heaven, God or angels. • Be careful what you say to them. People often say, “We lost Grandpa overnight”. The child will go looking for them. • Deal with their concerns and fears immediately to stop any confusion. Let them know it’s okay to cry, be sad and upset, it’s a normal thing to do when loved ones die. Cait’s passionate about helping people who have suffered loss. As a leading specialist in her field she has helped people move through their grief, to feel less isolated and alone.

MONEY MATTERS PARENTS CORNER

With David & Leonie Jackson – Great Aussie Dream P: 4733 8592 E: admin@gad.com.au

Helping the Kids Buy a Home As the property market continues to boom, housing affordability slides closer and closer to record lows and parents worry about how their children will ever afford to buy a home of their own. What many may not realise is that a number of options are available to parents wanting to give their kids a leg up into the property market and not all of them require handing over large amounts of cash. In fact, if you have some equity in a property you can help your child buy a home without putting your hand in your pocket at all. A Family Pledge or Parental Guarantee loan allows you to use some of the equity in your home to provide a guarantee for your child which reduces or eliminates the need for a deposit and can help them avoid Lenders Mortgage Insurance. As a Guarantor you are not required to make any repayments however by providing a guarantee you are entering taking on a financial commit so it is important to understand what you are entering into. If you would like to help your kids purchase a property (and move out of home) give us a call on 1300 72 68 48 and we’ll show you all the options and give you all the info you need.
