Hobbies + Interests It’s been a while since Penrith City Council updated you on the two kayak launch decks planned for Leonay and Factory Road Reserve. They have reviewed the feedback received during the consultation period and are working closely with the NSW Government, who are co-funding this project, to finalise the designs for construction. Due to several factors, the timeline for the project has changed, and they are now anticipating construction to start in early 2024. While this delay is disappointing, they do have some good news to share! The first stage of the Regatta Park upgrade opened on Friday 29 September 2023 and will feature a number of informal launch locations. Regatta Park will have two viewing platforms as well as boulders at four locations along the riverbank to make accessing the water quick and easy for kayaking, canoeing and even stand-up paddleboarding. These informal launch locations can be accessed via the new pathway leading down to the river foreshore, which was from Friday 29 September – just in time for summer! They will provide another update once the detailed designs for the new launch deck locations are finalised and a timeline for construction has been confirmed. Council would like to thank you for your interest and involvement in this project.

A Home Like No Other
It’s over 150 years old and was once surrounded by 300 acres of land on the property. Orange Grove Cottage is an amazing home with a historical past. The majestic home’s story continues, thanks to a dream that would one day come true. Located in Emu Plains, it was purchased by the McCallum family in 2003, and they have lived at the property for the past seven years. It was previously owned by the Wines family prior to this. “We knew the previous owner, Pat Wines, who had lived here most of his life with his family. It was only him and his mum Sue after his father passed, and she lived here until she passed away. Pat married later in life and moved out and lived in a retirement village,” explained Mischelle McCallum. “He rented out the home and was no longer able to do repairs. We saw a for rent sign on the front of the house and decided to approach Pat and see if he wanted to sell the house” she continued. Mischelle’s connection with Orange Grove Cottage began as a child. “I used to keep my horse on his property and put my five dollars in the letterbox every week, so I had a friendship with him and his mum when I was a child. Sue was known very well in the area, as she used to teach piano in the front room. “I grew up in Emu Plains and we purchased our first home around the corner in Bellbrook Avenue, which was part of the farmhouse’s property. I had always admired Orange Grove Cottage and had dreams of one day owning it.” Mischelle smiled. The home had always been in the family, having formerly been owned by the Ellisons and Jacob King. The nearby streets are now named in the early pioneer’s honour. The McCallum’s would often listen to Pat’s stories about growing up and living in the home. “When he was younger, he told us about an orphan boy that came and lived with them, who helped around the farm. He told us that it was built in 1839. When we looked back at the historical records, it said 1860. He said they were wrong. We have always gone by Pat’s word of 1839, as he was very definite of the dates. I suppose we will never really know, as the records say around 1860” she recalled. Mischelle’s favourite part of the house is the front section, “I just love the old timber work and the fireplace. It’s got a beautiful feeling about it. The glass is imperfect, has a wobble in it and is original. The house is very imperfect, but it’s perfect to us. It has a beautiful story of pioneers making it their home and the generations of their family gathered regularly.” Mischelle and Garry McCallum also foster children through Barnardo’s. “It’s ironic, because Pat Wines had told us about the orphan child that his mum Sue took in when they were children, and it’s as though we have continued her legacy, or the house has. We are very grateful to own a piece of our local history.” r Orange Grove Cottage | Images: Mischelle McCallum

Family Getaways: Navigating Holidays with Kids Through Routine, Planning, and Playful Adventures As the holiday season approaches, one thing is certain – keeping the kids entertained is a top priority. So, how do you ensure a smooth holiday experience? It's all about planning, being flexible, maintaining some routine and some good fun for the
little ones. Planning: The first step is to sort out your leave and budget. If you haven't locked in your leave dates, do it now. Check out travel and accommodation options, including online deals and vouchers. Consider family-friendly destinations with onsite activities. Involve your children as much as possible to plan a holiday with activities that everyone will enjoy. When booking accommodation, consider if you need extra cots or cooking facilities and how close you are to the sites you wish to see. Consider budget-friendly alternatives like camping trips, road adventures, or day trips to the beach, mountains, parks, and pools. Pack your snacks and occasionally treat the kids to a special lunch or ice cream – budget-friendly and delightful! The Importance of Routines: Holidays are a break from the norm, a time for fun and relaxation. Yet, maintaining some routine is key. Start adjusting meal and sleep times a week before your departure to ease the transition. Children tend to sleep later and sleep in on holidays. Consider creating a holiday schedule that balances planned and spontaneous activities. It can be a fun task for creative kids to take charge of. Let them craft it with paints and markers or on a whiteboard, detailing the day's adventures. Staying Active: Whether you're staying local or going away, planning healthy activities like swimming, bushwalking, outdoor games, skating, biking, and other sports is a good idea. Staying active is key to both physical and mental health, especially during holidays, as it helps release excess energy and aids bedtime. Plan outdoor activities either early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the intense midday heat. When outdoors, remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, and Slide. https://www.cancer.org.au/save-your-skin/five-sunsmartsteps Ending Holidays: If you are travelling back by car or plane, make sure you pack snacks and activities, particularly for younger children. If driving, take breaks every two hours. As the holiday winds down, take the time to talk to children to get back into routine and give them 1-2 weeks to readjust. Gradually wind back meal and sleep times, and don't forget to be patient. r Image: www.pixabay.com

Students from Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School have created a mural that is now proudly installed in the new pedestrian underpass next to the Emu Plains Commuter Car Park. The mural is the final piece of the Emu Plains Commuter Car Park project, located between the recently completed Rhys Walker Memorial Pathway and the railway station. It complements the ‘Buru’, a cast bronze sculpture acknowledging Country. Created by Year 9 and 10 visual arts students, the mural reflects the interconnectivity between the nearby Blue Mountains, Nepean River, and the Emu Plains Station. The mural has been designed to stimulate the public to connect between nature and the hustle and bustle of modern life. The project named 'Transport Art’, was led by the Nepean Creative and Performing Arts High School under the guidance of professional mural artist Scott Nagy and involved more than 60 students who created the artwork over three school terms. Students, the school, and Transport for NSW have worked closely together to deliver a piece of art to be enjoyed by the public for years to come. The ‘Transport Art’ project involved students from the school’s ‘Skill Me Up Program’ which is aimed to build skillset for those who aspire to work in trades. This joint achievement has led Nepean High to be selected as one of five winning schools in the Department of Education’s Schools Shout Out’ competition. For further information about the car park, artwork, and the Rhys Walker Memorial Pathway, go to www.transport.nsw.gov. au/emuplains

Christmas Comes to Emerald Street
• Catering for 2-3 year old Children • Situated in Quiet and Safe Street • Preschool and School Readiness Specialty Program • Qualified Early Childhood Staff • Operational Hours 8am till 5pm Monday till Friday • Large Outdoor Play Area
The Christmas spirit is often questioned, especially when each year it seems that the decorations are in stores earlier and earlier. But what about those who give so much joy to the festive season through their Christmas light displays? Emerald Street Christmas Lights in Emu Plains returns this month. For the organisers, whose popular event has entertained the community for many years, the preparation and work begin about the time the decorations hit the stores. Each year, thousands swarm to see the lights and donate, as the love is spread to benefit charity. As with every year, the donations go to Bear Cottage – for Westmead Children’s Hospital via the Lights for Kids campaign. “To date, since we started collecting for Bear Cottage, we have raised over $44,000” explained Linda Hernando, Organiser of Emerald Street Christmas Lights. On the 8th December, they will have a “Dogs Night at the Lights” with all proceeds going to the Animal Welfare League. Of course, the big night is 16th December, when Mrs Claus, Buddy the Elf and The Grinch make this special appearance. “The thing I enjoy the most about Christmas is spreading a bit of joy and happiness to the community and, the Christmas carols of course!” she said. Mrs Claus, Buddy the Elf, and The Grinch are very grateful to the community that the lights are going ahead this year. With the cost of living and energy rises, the show nearly didn’t go on. “It has been a particularly hard year for us this year and thanks to the very generous support of our community and friends, we have had a GoFundMe page set up for us. This will help with the electricity bill, and anything left over will be put into the donations. We are very honoured and grateful for this” Linda replied. Everything lights up on the 1st of December at 7:30pm. Get down to Emerald Street in Emu Plains and take your family Christmas pictures under the big snow globe with The Grinch’s Village inside it. For more information including regular updates, visit Christmas Lights – Emerald St, Emu Plains on Facebook. r Feature Article [Cover] The amazing lights display [Above] Christmas Extravaganza - Mrs Claus (Susan Bobis), The Grinch (Luke Cameron), Buddy the Elf (Greg Mellis) | Images: Linda Hernando

Titles at Ten
Women Walking the Walk
Champions come in all shapes and sizes. Jobe Degnan of Emu Plains, has just been crowned the 2023 Australian Under 10 Boys Champion, held in Victoria last month. Jobe is also a member of Penrith BMX Club. The Australian National Championships took place at Shepparton in Victoria on Friday 3rd of November. Jobe contested the Australian Title, competing in 3 motos, a quarter final, semi-final and the final. “He was battling with another boy from South Australia all day but managed to pull off the win in the final with a very determined ride. Jobe and our family were so excited to have taken the win and for him to be crowned the Australian 10 Boys 20” Champion for 2023” said Matthew Degnan, Jobe’s father. On Saturday 4th of November (the following day), Jobe competed in the 8 – 10 Boys Cruiser, where he rode well. “In the final, he got pushed mid pack and ended up 5th, which was still an overall great effort which Jobe worked hard for” Matthew explained. Competing in sports of any kind takes commitment in time and money to get to the races and contest the titles. “With Jobe competing in the last round of the National Series race, he wasn’t in contention as he didn’t compete in enough of the series races this year. He used it as practice and track time, as he had never ridden that track before” he stated. Despite not competing in enough series races this year, Jobe put in the hard work and determination. His family were proud to see him take home the trophy. His next competition is the Trans-Tasman Test coming up later next year, called the “Mighty 11’s”, which he must qualify for. A world title campaign for 2024 seems impossible, due to their limited budget. Jobe has taken the victory in his stride and prefers to do his talking on the track. “Surprisingly, Jobe is quite humble in his achievements. As a proud Dad, if I am talking to someone about his results, he gets embarrassed” ended Matthew. r Jobe competing at the 2023 Australian National Championships. Image: Matthew Degnan
This year heralds the third birthday celebration of Penrith Women’s Walk and Talk. Angela Lambros, an original founding member, said that after seeing the benefits and popularity of the Penrith Men’s Walk and Talk, she followed her heart to start a group where women could connect and support each other, and along the way, build friendships. With a focus on women’s physical health, mental resilience and wellbeing, the venue is the Great River Walk. After meeting out the front of the Coffee Club Nepean River each Wednesday evening from 6pm, they set out together at 7pm along the 6-7km picturesque walk along the river. “This is a safe place to come when you feel alone, somewhere you can reconnect with community”, Angela said. The women are holding a birthday party to mark three years of walking and talking on the grass area in front of Maldini’s By The River from 6pm on Wednesday 6th December. There will be speakers, free afternoon tea and light refreshments, birthday cake, and a Women’s Walk and Talk T-Shirt. But the real celebration is spending time in each other’s company and reflecting on the beautiful friendships that have been formed within the group over these past three years. “I have witnessed just how lonely and hard it is living a life with no connection or support,” Angela said, “This is the place for you when you feel alone, it’s a place to connect again, where it’s okay to be not okay.” The women often host guest speakers from supporting organisations such as RUOK Day, Suicide Prevention Day, Lifeline and Mental Health Week. On the calendar for next year, with the support of G3 Fitness, they will be offering mental health courses for the walkers to help develop their skills to support themselves and each other. “All women are welcome to join us”, Angela said. “It’s a child, dog, and pram friendly walking track. Come and join our free and inclusive community, and along the walk you will improve your physical, mental, and social health!”.

They will also be selling ‘real’ Christmas trees on Saturday 9th December, at Lions Park, Great Western Highway, in Emu Plains. The selling price will be $45 per tree, CASH ONLY. The estimated drop-off time for the trees is between 6:30am and 7:00am and there will be only 90 trees available. The Club recommends that you get in early to avoid disappointment! Later on that day, Lions will be cooking its BBQ at Emu Sports Club at ‘Carols on the Course’, where your support enables a donation to Our Community Cares. For a gold coin donation, you can also purchase a battery operated candle with the proceeds from the sales going to Ronald McDonald House. Support your local Lions Club, who support your local charities and community. v Christmas Trees for sale | Image: https://www.facebook.com/emuplainslions. Article: Emu Plains Lions Club

Melatonin – Possibly the Most Understudied Nutrient in Ulcerative Colitis Treatment! Melatonin is a neurotransmitter-like hormone, released into blood by the brain’s pineal gland in response to darkness. Melatonin controls our internal circadian rhythms, sleep, immune system functions, is a powerful antioxidant, antiinflammatory, and influences the functions of many genes toward better health. In the gastrointestinal tract melatonin is made and secreted by: 1. enterochromaffin cells 2. certain immune cells 3. intestinal microbes The gut produces 10 - 400 times the amount of melatonin found in blood. Here, production is controlled by diet, not light. Much of this melatonin is secreted with intestinal juice and mixes with food, promoting health of intestinal lining cells and gut bacteria. Supplemental melatonin also helps improve gut microbiota composition. Studies of experimental colitis in mice and rats, show melatonin significantly reduces virtually all signs and symptoms of experimental colitis, including diarrhea. One of the ways melatonin achieves these benefits is by altering composition of the gut microbiota, increasing numbers of healthy bacteria, and reducing harmful bacteria. Human ulcerative colitis (UC) patients have significantly lower melatonin in the descending sigmoid colon (the area most often affected in UC) and these levels decrease steadily as UC disease severity increases. Further, concentration of melatonin
10
production enzymes is drastically reduced in colon cells of UC patients. Despite all this evidence, only two studies have examined melatonin as a treatment for UC. The first study gave UC patients standard care, plus melatonin (3 mg/d) or placebo. After 3 months researchers found melatonin significantly improved patient: i. symptom scores, ii. faecal calprotectin levels, iii. energy and general health, relative to placebo. Note: Faecal calprotectin increases with worsening intestinal inflammation and is used to help diagnose UC or determine treatment success. Authors found melatonin safe and effective as an additional treatment for mild to moderate UC. The second study gave 60 UC patients mesalazine 2 x 1.0 g/ day, plus melatonin 5 mg daily or placebo. After 12 months patients on melatonin: i. all remained in remission, ii. had normal CRP levels (inflammation marker), compared to patients on placebo. Authors concluded melatonin helps maintain UC remission. UC patients may like to discuss the viability of adding melatonin to their treatment plan, with their primary care physician or specialist.

FOOD 4 THOUGHT Tins & wood
Santa Runs Again This Year!
3/12 Tindale St Penrith
This month, Michelle and I visited Tins & Wood for lunch. When we entered, our waiter Callum greeted us and showed us to a very comfortable booth. While browsing through the menu, he asked if we had any questions about the menu. I was having a difficult time deciding between a pizza or a risotto. I settled on the King Prawn and Italian Sausage Risotto. The Risotto consisted of king prawns, Italian sausage, baby spinach, Spanish onion, and cream. The King Prawn and Italian Sausage Risotto is a flavour symphony that delights the palate. The succulent king prawns and savoury Italian sausage blend seamlessly with the vibrant notes of baby spinach and Spanish onion. The cream added the final touch to this already superb dish. This dish was amazing and full of flavour. Michelle was keen to try the Greek Salad. The Greek Salad was a blend of crisp mixed leaves, tomatoes, cucumbers, Spanish onion, capsicum, and the richness of olives and fetta. The grilled chicken added a savoury touch, making it a delightful medley of flavours that danced on her taste buds. The drizzle of olive oil elevated the dish, creating a satisfying and well-balanced experience. She enjoyed her Salad and would pick this option again in the future. I also chose a freshly squeezed glass of orange juice. The juice was refreshing and on a hot day and I enjoyed every sip. After hearing the coffee machine and smelling the aroma of the coffee, Michelle and I had to try one for ourselves. I was delighted that Vittoria was the coffee brand of choice at this venue. The coffee was creamy, not bitter and I enjoyed every mouthful. I can highly recommend Tins & Wood and this venue receives a ten out of ten. The service was outstanding. Thanks to our waiter Callum and our Chef Fanio for preparing impressive and flavourful dishes. You will not be disappointed if you visit Tins & Wood.

Regentville Rural Fire Service will be holding their annual Santa Run again this year, to the delight of everyone young and old. This December, Santa will be spreading Christmas cheer around the streets, accompanied by his helper elves, and the big red fire trucks carrying lollies for everyone! The Rural Fire Brigade love this time of the year, as it’s a chance to give back to the community for their support throughout the year. And of course, Santa loves the big red shiny fire trucks he sometimes calls on for their big ladders to help him to particularly difficult chimneys. Throughout the year, the community supports the ‘bush firies’, as they help the community in all emergency situations from bushfires, floods, and other natural disasters to car accidents and other incidents. The Santa Run is a time they can engage with the community and vice versa, in a less stressful environment. The Brigade is run by volunteers, so it is important that they engage with their community. The Santa Run is a great time for the community to find out more about their local brigades, and some of the services they provide. It’s also an opportunity for the brigade members to unwind and relax with the people they work for. “We would like to thank everyone in the area for their continued support throughout the years with our Santa runs”, Jordan Jobson from the Rural Fire Service told us. “You make it so worthwhile, and it brings as much joy to our members as it does to the community, and every year we try to make the event bigger and better than ever before!”. Make sure you don’t miss Santa and the Regentville Brigade: • Friday 8th December, 5:00pm to 8:00pm at Emu Heights and Emu Plains Football Club • Tuesday 12th December, 5:00pm to 8:00pm at Leonay • Sunday 17th December, 3:00pm to 8:00pm at Glenmore Park • Friday 22nd December, 5:00pm to 8:00pm at Jamisontown and Regentville On Christmas Eve, from 1:00pm to 6:00pm, Santa will be at Regentville RFS Station. Drop in and say hello! You’ll find maps posted on the NSW RFS-Regentville Brigade Facebook page closer to the events. r Santa with fire truck escort making his way around the streets of our local community / Image: Jordan Jobson

The Twelve Pet Hazards of Christmas

become stressed and even lead to them trying to escape, so make sure they have a safe and quiet place to retreat to. 11. Snakes are already out and about. Take care in long grass, around water or areas where there are rodents (grain sheds and chicken pens are common places.) Many snakes can be seen on the Nepean River walk so take care. 12. Heatstroke: Never leave your pet in the car during the warmer weather as heat stroke can occur very quickly. Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a car can reach dangerous levels in minutes. Leaving a window down will not help either, so please don’t risk it! It’s best to avoid car trips in the heat with your pet unless absolutely necessary. We wish you all a Merry Christmas, from the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital 02 4736 2027.

With Christmas fast approaching, we would like you and your pets to enjoy the holiday season. Unfortunately, there are hidden dangers. Christmas food, people, parties, and changes in routine. You may not be able to supervise your pet as much as usual and at this time of year we find that pets can get themselves into all sorts of trouble. Watch out for the twelve hazards of Christmas and enjoy a happy, healthy, holiday season! 1. Christmas dinner and leftovers: These are all too rich for our pets and can cause nasty tummy upsets and even lifethreatening Pancreatitis. We recommend you feed your pet their usual treats, and avoid the temptation to feed your pet Christmas ham or pork under the table. 2. Fruit cake, fruit salad, grapes and sultanas: Some fruits are perfectly fine for dogs to eat in moderation, but grapes are not one of them. If you include grapes in fruit salads or desserts, make sure your dog cannot eat them. Grapes cause kidney failure in dogs and can cause lethargy, diarrhea, and vomiting about twelve hours after ingestion. The dog will become increasingly dehydrated, may refuse to eat, and will show either an increase in or decrease in urination. Longterm kidney disease or death may follow. 3. Desserts: Desserts are everyone’s favourite part of Christmas, but they can be deadly for dogs especially if they involve chocolate. xylitol or alcohol. The compounds in both chocolate and xylitol can be fatal to dogs. The symptoms of chocolate poisoning include seizures, heart arrhythmias, and muscle tremors. Within thirty minutes of ingestion, xylitol will cause a fast, dangerous drop in blood sugar levels accompanied by disorientation and seizures. Some dogs can even develop liver failure, which may lead to death. 4. Macadamia nuts: While they are very popular at Christmas, macadamia nuts can be toxic to dogs if ingested. The toxicity leads to muscle weakness, vomiting and tremors 5. BBQ skewers can be catastrophic for pets if they are accidentally ingested. Take extra care to ensure your pet doesn’t grab one that has fallen off the BBQ. NEVER feed your pet cooked bones as these can splinter, or cause an obstruction, and result in the need for emergency intestinal surgery. 6. Christmas lilies: The toxic chemical in lilies that causes injuries to the kidneys is unknown but all components of the plant are toxic – this includes the petals, stamen, leaves and pollen. As little as one leaf or part of a single flower has been reported to cause death. 7. Decorations such as tinsel and fairy lights are very attractive to pets (especially cats) but can lead to a gastric obstruction if eaten. 8. Ribbons and string tied around presents are also super attractive to cats and if ingested can lead to a nasty gastric obstruction requiring emergency surgery. 9. The Christmas tree can be a real attraction to your pets. Whether real or artificial, the tree can be a hazard if your cat has a tendency to climb things they shouldn’t. Also, the oils produced by some real Christmas trees are also mildly toxic if consumed, causing irritation to a pet’s mouth and stomach 10. Lots of visitors to your house can cause your pet to

Joy to the World What brings you joy? Is it seeing a good friend you love spending time with? Is it visiting a place you’ve known about but never been to? Is it looking at a painting, or a beautiful sunset? And why do we talk about joy at Christmas? When you read about Jesus’ coming, joy features quite a bit. The shepherds out in the fields were told by the angel that he had “good news that would cause great joy for all people” (Luke 2:10). That’s a pretty big call. But it was good news they had been waiting for some time. It was of a promise made long before, that was about to be kept. It was of God’s promised king arriving in his world. It was of a ruler who would rule wisely and not simply for his own sake. It was of a rescuer who would reverse what’s wrong with the world and offer forgiveness to us. It was of the one who would bring us back into the relationship with God he always wanted for us. When you get to the climax of Jesus’ coming, there’s joy there too. Even though he was executed, three days later he rose to life again. And what are we told his followers did when they saw him alive? They worshipped him and were filled with joy. The take home for us? He was who he said he was. He was even God himself. He is the great promise keeper. No wonder we sing ‘Joy to the World’. We talk, and sing, and we can feel joy at Christmas, because it celebrates the greatest events, and the greatest person, and the greatest message in history. Is that a joy you share? Even as we live years later, on the other side of the world, I certainly hope it is as we celebrate this Christmas. r
