FROM FROMTHE THEEDITOR EDITOR

As you sit down to a warm cuppa and a sneaky five minutes to catch up on your local news, we present you with a jam-packed July edition!

This month we bring you lots of local news and events, and it's time to get the shoebox out, with end of financial year upon us!

Like many businesses, The District Gazette team recently conducted our annual planning event. This year, we took the time to incorporate a 'team building' exercise that helped identify the strengths and opportunities across the team.

It was a brilliant chance to stretch the minds and imaginations of each of our team members, and work together in different surrounds for a common goal.

With plenty of new ideas tabled to implement in the next 12 months, we deemed it a HUGE success! Check out what we got up to on page 4.

School Holidays have arrived (again!), if you're looking for something to keep the kids (and yourself) amused, do yourself a favour and check out Ruby Productions 'Little Women', see page 7 for all the details.

And of course, we have a tasty dish for you to test out in 'What's Cooking' on page 9, perfect for these chilly nights!

"Keep going. Difficult roads lead to beautiful destinations".

Enjoy your Community News.

FAITH - EMU PLAINS ANGLICAN

We Escaped!!

Article Written + Submitted by: Rev Roger Cunningham P: 4735 1001 E: roger@epac.org.au W: www.epac.org.au Service Times: Sundays @ 8:00am, 9:30am and 6:30pm Plus activities for adults and young people throughout the week

What Might you ask for?

I’ve had kids for a while now, so I’m used to being asked for things. It started off as, ‘Dad, can you swing me around?

Dad, can you play this game with me? Dad, can I have an ice cream?’. Now they’re older, the starting point has become more expensive, it’s ‘Dad, can we go to the movies? Dad, can I have an iphone? Dad, can I have a car?’

I have to say I love giving things to my kids, and I’m heartened by their vote of confidence that I can give almost anything they want, but I’ll leave it to your imagination to guess which they’ve actually received.

The thing is, Jesus spoke of God as Father. He even compared Him to earthly fathers like me. Jesus said, ‘Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

(Matthew 7:9-11)’ God is ready, waiting to give us the good things he provides through Jesus. He offers the sort of gifts I could only dream of giving my children. He offers life and eternal life, he offers forgiveness for what’s past, He offers confidence about the future, He offers for us to know Him personally as our Father.

Given what’s on offer, what might you ask Him for?

 The District Gazette team – Laura, Renee, Debbie, Belinda, Julia + Brittany out for a night of team building!

A Business successfully functions when a team is strong, committed and work well together. While it is important to constantly work hard and achieve goals, it is equally important to take some time out of the busy schedule and have fun. That is exactly what the District Gazette team did when we attended an Escape Room for a night of team building.

Recently, the District Gazette team went out for a night full of fun and team building. The night started with dinner where we all put our brains together for a business brain storm. Brain storming is an amazing tool to allow all members of the team to express their ideas and together you can come up with exciting and incredible ideas on how to move forward or enhance your business venture. During the brain storm everyone bounces of each other and in no time you have some pretty remarkable ideas on the table.

Dinner was followed by an exciting adventure to an Escape Room. Something new for many of us, the escape room saw us get locked in a room full of puzzles, mazes and clues which we had to use to physically escape the room in under an hour.

Our communication, time management, and multitasking skills were all put to the test while we all worked as a team to complete each task and get out of the room. We successfully escaped with 18 minutes still on the clock and we did so without any clues.

Working together as a team is one of the most important elements in order for a business to succeed. Taking some time outside of work to get to know each other in a different environment and having to achieve something new, is a great place to start!

BIG Business Experience, For Your Small Business small business can’t follow this approach�. He also warns, “Small business that adopts a, ‘fly by the seat of your pants’ method, are more likely to end up an unwanted failed business statistic�.

Zoltan can be contacted on 1300 854 480 or admin@cfoatcall. com.au. CFO@CALL offers a flexible service scaled to your business’s size and budget. He will come to you, share and help implement his big business experience in your business from the ground up.

"

Local Accountant and founder of CFO@CALL , Zoltan Szentirmay is proud to share his experience working in the corporate sector and the edge he brings to his clients.

He says, “I founded my business on the belief that many businesses are under serviced when it comes to commercial and financial support. You see small businesses rarely have the financial means to employ a full time CFO (Chief Financial Officer) instead end up with the support of bookkeepers, tax accountants and banks. The advice that is given is often generic, technical and transactional in nature�.

Early in his career, after several years in what he called ‘backwards’ looking accounting, which no longer excited him, Zoltan focused on commerce where it was evident to him that accountants were different. His became a forward thinking proactive focus that improved the business performance through better management of finances and systems, focusing on long term viability and growth of these organisations.

During this period of commercial accounting focus he worked with some of the biggest Australian brands professionally, brands like; Telstra, Pfizer, Salmat, Tyco, Foseco, Brinks, ADI, Stanilite, Philips, BT Australasia, Pierlite, The Hannan Group , ASIC, UWS, O’Brien Glass, Uniting Care Ageing (Uniting), HCF, DADHC. It was here, he said he really understood the saying, “if you fail to plan you plan to fail’. He says, “There is no reason why

I can attest not only to his skill as a project manager but also to his ability to manage finance teams and all areas within the finance department. His strengths are many, but in my view , it his ability to be both a strategic manager dealing at board level but at the same time someone who is able to get into the fine detail when required to solve complex issues particularly around systems and implementations that sets him apart.

PARENTS CORNER

Article Written + Submitted by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) Nepean Community + Neighbourhood Services P: 0409 986121 or 47218520 E: narelle@nepeancommunity.org.au FaceBook: Parenting in Penrith Blog: handsheartsminds.wordpress.com This month, we continue the series on ‘Parent Traps’ that we started in April.

Escalation Traps – Child Escalation Children can learn that to get what they want, they escalate their behaviour. They do more of everything - whinge, nag, cry, scream, shout. Anything to get what they want.

Why do they do this? They do it because it works for them.

The parent gets tired or overwhelmed, and just gives in.

What does the child learn from this?

To get what I want I keep pushing until I get what I want.

Escalation Traps – Parent Escalation A parent asks a child to do something. The child doesn’t move.

The parent asks again. And again. And again. After several requests the parent gets frustrated and starts to yell.

When the parent is angry, screaming, counting, or making threats, the child decides that it is time to do as the parent asks.

What does the child learn from this?

My parent is only serious about the request when she is yelling. This is why parents say “my child never listens to me”.

Do these escalation traps happen at your place? Sometimes the child and parent escalate together and it’s a screaming match and a fight over something simple.

What Is The Remedy?

Make a clear, calm request. Make sure you have your child’s attention by saying his name, getting eye contact, touching him on the shoulder. Tell him what to do rather than what not to do. And make it a request, not a question. If the child complies, give him descriptive praise “thank you for doing as I ask”. If your child does not comply after two clear, calm requests, calmly give him a consequence. The consequence doesn’t need to be harsh, you just need to let your child know that you mean what you say.

Struggling?

Ruby Productions Presents...Little Women

The cast of Little Women – Ruby Productions. Image supplied.

Based on the famous novel by Louisa May Alcott. Adapted to the stage by Jenny Tibbitts and Directed by Linda Holland.

Little Women, the much loved story by Louisa May Alcott, follows the lives of the March sisters, Jo, Meg, Beth and Amy as they go from childhood to womanhood.

The years are filled with the hardships of poverty, the promise of love, the sadness of loss and hope for a brighter future.

The March family is living in genteel poverty after Mr March lost their money. Meg and Jo March, the elder sisters, both work outside the home for money to support the family. Meg teaches children of a nearby family, while Jo aids her grand-aunt March, a wealthy widow whose strength is failing. Beth helps around the house, and Amy attends school.

Their lives are touched and changed throughout the years by Laurie and his grandfather (the March’s neighbors), Aunt March, John Brooke (the shy tutor of Laurie) and Professor Bhaer (a German expatriate who encourages Jo with her writing).

Low ‘Bone Density’ – Are Drugs Really the Answer?

Many patients attend the clinic with low bone density osteopenia or osteoporosis. They are commonly prescribed bisphosphonate drugs by their GP to increase bone density & reduce fracture risk. These drugs do increase bone density, but astoundingly also increase the risks for: 1. Certain thigh bone fractures – bones become more dense but also more brittle, 2. Gastrointestinal problems such as indigestion & heartburn, nausea/vomiting, and chest pain. These side effects cause up to 20% of patients to discontinue treatment 3. Severe, sometimes incapacitating bone, joint, and/or muscle pain 4. Bisphosphonate-related decay of the jaw bone (called ‘BRONJ’). This is very rare but: a. Intravenous bisphosphonates - often used for cancer patients, leads to a high risk for BRONJ (0.8% to 12% of patients ), this increases the longer the drug is given b. Oral bisphosphonates leads to about 1 BRONJ case in 1500 patient years (100 fold greater than general population).

A recent paper published in the prestigious British Medical Journal stated that ‘bisphosphonates’ (taken for hip fracture prevention) are ‘neither viable as a public health strategy nor cost effective’. The authors found that: 1. No evidence exists that these drugs are effective at preventing fractures in men 2.

In post-menopausal women, in whom osteoporosis is most often problematic, ‘175 women with bone fragility would need to be treated for three years to prevent’ just ‘one hip fracture’; while all patients remain at risk of side effects, but in women over 80, where most fractures occur no evidence of benefit exists.

3. A recent analysis by the FDA found people receiving bisphosphonates continuously for 6 years had more fractures than a second group who took bisphosphonates for only 3 years then switched to placebo for 3 years 4. Age adjusted incidence of hip fractures has fallen steadily in most Western countries‌ and this ‘does not seem to be attributable to drug treatment’ 5. Poor balance is a much better predictor of bone fracture than bone density 6. Other bone density drug options such as Denosumab; strontium ranelate; &‘Vitamin D & Calcium’supplementation all have efficacy & risk questions hanging over them.

This becomes terribly confusing for most people. What should one do?

Whether you take pharmaceuticals or try alternative approaches, it’s important you do your research thoroughly and discuss pros and cons with your doctor. There are some excellent natural strategies that one can implement to improve balance & bone density. Next month we’ll discuss some of these, meantime if you have back problems or are worried about bone density why not come talk to us at BHW - see our ad for contact details.

After 12 years, Chatterbox Café has new owners and has been under new management since last month. With the daily running of the café remaining the same, new owners Craig and Angie look forward to all future opportunities and are very excited to serve the local Emu Plains community.

Chatterbox Café is the first café business venture for the new owners, both Craig and Angie have worked and gained experience in hospitality and customer service industries.

With Craig and Angie being new to the local community of Emu Plains, they became interested in purchasing the café as it holds a very high reputation in the area.

Since the change over, Craig and Angie have been blown away by the loyalty of the local community and feel very privileged to have been accepted and welcomed into such a family oriented community.

While they are in the very early stages of their new venture they are looking forward to serving the local community. Craig has said “We hope to continue serving the local community the same way Michelle and Gary did.”

The reaction from the local community has been very positive and has been what the new owners have described as “a very comfortable transition.”

Chatterbox café is located in Lennox Village and is open 7 days a week. For all those who would like to visit the café simply drop in or contact their friendly staff by phone on: 4735 6330.

Victoria Bridge Gateway to Western NSW Penrith’s Victoria Bridge, which is one of Australia’s oldest metal bridges, has been given state heritage status and protection, Member for Penrith Stuart Ayres and Heritage Minister Mark Speakman announced last month.

The bridge was listed on the State Heritage Register for its link to opening the railway network to Western NSW in 1867, design, social significance, rarity and connection to the bridge’s engineer and designer John Whitton.

“The bridge created a road and railway gateway to the west,” Mr Ayres said.

“It allowed areas west of the Blue Mountains to grow and helped established Western NSW tourism.”

The bridge, which is one of only three bridges of its type in the state, is the most intact remaining example of a continuous iron-through bridge, where the deck is between the girders rather than on top of them. It hasn’t been used for rail since 1907.

The bridge is recognised in the Penrith, Blue Mountains and Sydney areas and more widely among railway and bridge enthusiasts and historians.

Environment Minister Mark Speakman said the bridge had the largest spans of any metal girder bridge in the state.

“Penrith Station was the end of the line before the bridge opened in 1867,” Mr Speakman said.

“It is a welcome addition to the State Heritage Register and a fitting tribute to Western Sydney and Western NSW.” Image | Supplied

Helping Traumatised Kids I’ve just spent 6 days in Melbourne at the International Childhood Trauma Conference. I saw Dan Siegel, Pat Ogden and many more.

Toxic stress and trauma impact children, adolescents and adults in many different ways.

We see the result of that in the way children don’t know how to express their feeling/emotions.

Sometimes it looks like they’re lashing out in anger but this might not be the case, they may feel terrified or feel unsafe.

Steve Porges put it best, “The removal of threat is not the same as creating safety”. Just think on this for a moment. Kids may be living (in their heads) with fear, loss, trauma and need to be shown that these emotions can be shared with others and they won’t be punished for feeling that way.

Being yelled at can be very traumatising for a child.

Let’s say they bring a rat into the house to show you and it’s time for lunch.

You might yell, “Get that thing out of here, you know it’s lunch time. Why do you always do this?” a better way to respond would be, “I can see you’re interested in the rat, we’ll have a look at it later and we’ll eat lunch now”.

The child gets recognised and feels a connection with you because you have shown interest in the rat and he knows that he needs to eat lunch.

Studies show that the brain is altered by being yelled at or bullied.

10 July 2016 www.emuleonaygazette.com.au

Tips on helping them integrate their emotions into their life: • Remove them from the situation • Let them talk about their own subjective situation • Don’t judge them • Just listen • Give them other endings to their story by giving them another ending Have fun with your kids.

Cait is passionate about helping people who’ve suffered loss. As a leading specialist in her field she’s helped people move through their grief, to feel less isolated and alone.

Cait offers grief, loss and bereavement counselling for adults, adolescents, children and families in the Penrith CBD. Pop over to Cait’s website www.indigotherapies.com.au or phone 0434 865 429
