New Mayor, Deputy Elected to Lead Penrith

Penrith Councillor Todd Carney was recently elected as Mayor of the City for the first time at September’s Ordinary Meeting of Council, with Councillor Mark Davies elected as Deputy Mayor. Councillor Carney succeeds Councillor Tricia Hitchen in the role and will serve a one-year term as Mayor, taking him through until the Local Government Election in September 2024. The shortened term is a result of the one-year postponement to Local Government Election in 2020 due to the pandemic, with the cycle returning to its prescribed four-year term again in 2024. Born and raised in Western Sydney, Cr Carney was elected to Council in 2016 and calls Glenmore Park home with his wife and three children. Starting an apprenticeship as a heavy vehicle mechanic at the age of 16, he is now a Service Manager for a leading international crane manufacturer and has served as an electorate officer for the then Lindsay MP, David Bradbury. The newly elected Mayor thanked his Councillor colleagues for the opportunity to serve in the role. “I have been asked what my priorities will be over the next 12 months – that’s a hard question to answer as we have a list of delivery programs underway with projects like Regatta Park, City Park, our day-and night-time economies, the Gipps Street Recreation Precinct and our WestInvest city transforming projects,” Cr Carney said. “However, like my predecessor Cr Hitchen, I have a keen focus on St Marys and what opportunities we can leverage there with the (Western Sydney Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport and metro rail line.” Cr Carney said Council has started to lay the foundations for a strong future through the St Marys Structure Plan but there is more work to be done. “St Marys Central Park will be fantastic, and we have an opportunity to build on this, to give people a place where they can work, live, and play. Our community is crying out for dining options, and we also need to continue discussions with the business community… we need to get the planning right.” Outgoing Mayor Tricia Hitchen thanked those who had helped her during what she recalled as “a memorable Mayoral term.” Cr Hitchen said she was in the role just a few short weeks before the City was devastated by a wet weather event, causing severe flooding in parts of the region and ‘major’ flood warnings for the Nepean River. During her term, she saw residents reunite at Council events that reactivated Penrith and St Marys, and she opened key pieces of infrastructure up to the community. Cr Hitchen called for the delivery of the City’s first accessible changeroom, which opened in 2017 along High Street. There are now six changing places facilities throughout the region, with more to come. Her passion for supporting domestic violence victims, which stems from her 25 years of service in the NSW Police Force, led to the Mayoral Charity Ball which saw Council and the community band together to raise a remarkable $60,000 for The Haven – Nepean Women’s Shelter in May. “I will be forever grateful to everyone who contributed to help so many of these local women and their families on the path to a safer, brighter future,” Cr Hitchen concluded. Cr Mark Davies was elected as Deputy Mayor at the September Ordinary Meeting. Cr Davies joined Council in 2004 and served as Mayor from 2012-2013. r Feature Article [Above] Outgoing Mayor Tricia Hitchen and recently elected, Mayor Todd Carney [Cover] Deputy Mayor Mark Davies and Mayor Todd Carney | Images/Article: Penrith City Council

Key Dates City of Penrith RSL sub-Branch 2023 Remembrance Day Service
your
11 November 2023. Memory Park, cnr High St and Woodriff St, Penrith. Commences: 10.30am. LEST WE FORGET

A Day of Remembrance: Honouring the Brave
As the nation halts for a minute of silence at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, Australians from all walks of life will recognise and honour the profound sacrifices made by our armed forces throughout history. At 11am on November 11, 1918, the guns on the Western Front fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare. Originally known as Armistice Day, it was renamed Remembrance Day after World War 2 to commemorate those who laid down their lives in both global conflicts. Tim Badger, Vice President of the Penrith RSL sub-Branch, perfectly captured the emotion underlying this solemn ceremony. “Remembrance Day to me is a time to reflect on the 102,820 sailors, soldiers, and airmen who over the last 110 years made the ultimate sacrifice and died fighting to protect this great nation of ours. It’s also a time to reflect on the hundreds of thousands of men and women who emerged from conflict injured, both physically and mentally." But its significance extends beyond mere remembrance. “It’s a day where we can pass a baton on and educate the younger generation about the significance of history, and the importance of cherishing peace. It’s an opportunity to foster a sense of gratitude, empathy, and respect for those who have served and continue to serve our nation today,” said Badger. This year, the Remembrance Day service will be held at Memory Park, in Penrith. Attendees are encouraged to arrive by 10:30 am, with the service commencing at around 10:40 am. The service will conclude just after 11:00am, followed by a morning tea and refreshments for veterans and their families at the Penrith RSL. The Penrith RSL sub-Branch is dedicated to serving veterans and their families, with initiatives like Guitars for Vets fostering camaraderie, the FWD Club, and the Penrith RSL Pipes and Drums – of which over 60% of its members are veterans. The sub-Branch plays an instrumental role in keeping the spirit of service alive. “We have a little over 460 veterans and members at the moment, and its growing which is fantastic,” Badger said proudly. Amidst the formalities and ceremonies, the underlying message of gratitude and honour is clear. And as we stand in silence, honouring the brave souls who fought for our freedoms, we are reminded of the importance of unity, peace, and gratitude. We will remember them. Lest we forget. r Memory Park War Memorial | Image supplied by Tim Badger

FAITH - FOOTHILLS CHURCH Article Written + Submitted by: Pastor Paul Marshall W: www.foothillschurch.com.au A: Junction Factory Rd & Loftus St, Regentville Service Times: Sundays 9.30am
Who Really Makes our Life? In many ways, we act as if we ourselves are creators of life and our own lives in particular. We have borrowed from American culture the idea of the “self-made man”, a person whose success results solely from their own hard work. But we must ask, “How much power do we actually have?” “What can I, myself and without outside help, actually achieve?” “How many of my thoughts are actually my thoughts?” “Where did the lightbulb insight from left field actually come from?” “Where did the gifts and intellect or persevering make-up that allow me to achieve things come from?” “Why do I have these things and not others?” “Why do we live in the wonderful privilege of life in Glenmore Park, when less than a three-hour flight away people in Papua New Guinea face poverty and suffer without basic healthcare?” Always, our ego will claim credit but my own little life (which is a wonderful gift but not all there is) can only find its proper place and meaning when I can relate myself to something more than I am. Now before you think this is mumbo-jumbo talk, let me clarify my point. Without something more than we are (or could ever be at 100% expression when all our plans and dreams are fulfilled), we are in trouble when things don’t turn out as planned. Without something greater, who do we turn to for help? How can we find hope when everything falls apart or when our best ego-driven activity fails to satisfy our souls? The Bible teaches that it is God who is the Author and Creator of our life. This relation to God calls us to some humility, but also offers our life a healthy sense of its place – not just that it is small compared to the grand Reality of the creation, but that it is treasured, valuable, and carries inestimable possibility because it is created by God. And God, who treasures and loves what he creates, is ready to help and guide us to our best life whether we face sunshine or rain.
FAITH – GRACE WEST ANGLICAN CHURCH Article Written + Submitted by: Senior Minister Christopher Braga P: 4733 1635 A: 16 William Howell Drive, Glenmore Park W: www. gracewest.church Service Times: Sundays @ 8.30am, 10.30am and 6pm. Plus activities for adults + young people right throughout the week. It is this time of year that we all start getting ready for Christmas. Food, decorations, and presents are all on the radar. Gifts are so much part of what it means to celebrate Christmas. However, according to economists, Christmas is a huge devaluation of goods and services. People place a lower dollar value on a gift than it cost the giver. Do that enough times and millions of dollars is lost in value to our community. Apparently, the solution is that it is best to give cash. Imagine that Christmas Day rolls around and just exchange cash. Weird, right? There must be more that’s going on than just valuing goods and services. So, what is it? A gift is an expression of a relationship. When you receive a gift, it shows that a person cares for you and loves you. When you give a gift, it is a sign that you care and love the other person. There is more going on than the gift itself. The summary we often say is, “it is the thought that counts.” Giving is a display of the value of a relationship and it is hard to place a value on a relationship. At Christmas, we remember the gift God gave us in the birth of Jesus Christ. The gift of Jesus is a display that God loves us and cares for us. It shows the most important thing is a relationship with the creator of the universe. r Image: www.pixabay.com

Penrith City Council welcomes the release of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to understand the plans to mitigate the impacts on residents and the environment with the opening of Western Sydney International (WSI) Airport. This release of the draft EIS is a significant step towards realising the great opportunities the airport will bring for our City through increased jobs, infrastructure and investment. Penrith City Council encourages the community to find out more about the airport, the EIS and flight paths by attending one of the Australian Government’s community information events. There are a number being held locally in the coming weeks, more information is available here: https:// www.wsiflightpaths.gov.au/visit-us “Penrith City Council is learning about the EIS at the same time as the rest of the community. I want to reinforce that Council needs time to understand the comprehensive document, including the impacts on our residents and the environment, and the measures proposed for mitigating how it will affect residents and the environment.” said Penrith Mayor Todd Carney. “I encourage the community to seek out their own information on the EIS too and to attend one of the community information events, and make a submission on what they would like to see from the EIS.” he ended. r Article: Penrith City Council | Image: www. wsiflightpaths.gov.au

Connecting with Kids: The Power of Love Languages Have you ever considered the power of Love Languages when it comes to connecting with your children? The concept, originally coined by Dr. Gary Chapman for couples, has evolved into a valuable tool for parents and caregivers to build strong, loving bonds with their children. Understanding Love Language Love languages are all about how individuals both give and receive love. Identifying your child's primary love language, or a combination of two, can significantly benefit your parent-child relationship. It ensures that your child not only knows they're loved, but also feels it deeply. The Five Love Languages and Their Application to Children: 1. Words of Affirmation: Expressing love, praise, appreciation, and encouragement through words. Connect through words of affirmation by saying "I love you" often, acknowledging your child's achievements, leaving sweet notes in unexpected places, and sharing what you love about them. 2. Quality Time: Providing your child with focused, undivided attention shows you love them and value their company. Connect through quality time by engaging in conversations, enjoying activities, scheduling one-on-one time, and prioritising family meals. 3. Physical Touch: Children thrive on loving physical touch, especially during infancy. Connect through physical touch with hugs, kisses, cuddles, playful activities like wrestling, holding hands, and story time. 4. Gifts: For some children, receiving a physical gift symbolises love and affection. It's about the thought and effort behind the gift. Connect through gift giving by selecting items aligned with your child's interests, surprising them with thoughtful gifts, and creating treasure hunts. 5. Acts of Service: Doing things for your child to make them feel cared for and special is another love language. Connect through acts of service by preparing special meals, engaging in their favourite activities, assisting with tasks, and completing their chores. Understanding your child's love language is a valuable tool to show love and nurture, and it helps you notice when your child is expressing love. Being aware of your own love language but responding in your child's love language can further strengthen the parent-child bond. Take the Love Language Quiz with Your Child. It's a fun way to connect and learn something new together: https://5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/love-language r Image: www.pixabay.com

A group of inspiring locals are giving the gift of hope this festive season, thanks to a Christmas Drive they have organised. Lead by Tammy O’Brien, the initiative was created to help families over the Christmas and New Years period who may be doing it tough, by putting food on the table and gifts under the tree. “We run pay it forward groups and can see how the rising cost of living is hurting more and more families. We are hoping to help those people to have a nice Christmas, without the worry about what they’ll have to eat that night or the stress of having nothing under the tree” said Tammy to the Glenmore Gazette. After doing an Easter Drive and Mother’s Day Drive this year, it made sense for them to continue with the biggest one of all. “Seeing the tears in the mum’s eyes and the smiles on the kid’s faces after the previous charity drives, there was no way we couldn’t do one for the biggest and, for some, hardest times of year. So naturally, we needed to cover Christmas as well” she stated. Tammy is appreciative for the community support, who selflessly come together to help those in need. “We believe in this cause. At the end of the day, we’ve all needed help at some stage of our lives, and nobody should have to struggle. We appreciate all the support that we receive from the community, and it’s because of their amazing hearts and generosity that this is possible. “We know we can’t help everyone, but even if we can only help a few, it’s still a few people who won’t need to struggle over the holidays” Tammy explained. If you would like to help, the group are accepting nonperishable food items, toiletries, clothing, gifts for newborns, children, adults, and seniors. Donations are being accepted from now until 10th December. For more information, you can contact Tammy via email at pif. tammy@hotmail.com or Mel at mel0369.ml@gmail.com.

Phoenix Kai Karate: Building Community, One Kick at a Time
a
Stronger
A local family-run karate school is making waves in the community by empowering its students to foster self-confidence, self-discipline, and achieve their goals. Phoenix Kai Karate opened its doors in January 2023 at Surveyors Creek Hall and is already becoming a hub for personal development and self-defence. Founded by a dedicated martial arts instructor with decades of experience in Muay Thai, Taekwondo, and Karate, Phoenix Kai Karate was founded out of a deep passion to give back to the community. “I was inspired to start the martial arts school to share the knowledge I’ve acquired with the community and future generations, empowering individuals to achieve their goals and never give up on their dreams,” said Calvin Jones, founder of the martial arts school. Calvin began his journey as a Karate Instructor in 2008, where he was teaching Muay Thai and freestyle martial arts in South Australia. He then began teaching Karate in Cairns in 2014 and moved on to teaching a specialised program for security professionals and government officials in 2018. This program focused on combat techniques and street situational awareness. While Calvin can teach a diverse range of martial arts, the school’s primary focus is teaching Karate to both children and adults. Using a proven curriculum and a familyfriendly environment, Phoenix Kai teaches the key karate elements used to motivate students to achieve their goals. Classes are currently held every week at Surveyors Creek Hall on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5:30 PM to 6:15 PM. The current courses are designed for ages 5 and up, however sessions for toddlers may be added to the class schedule in the near future. “We are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for our students to learn and grow in their martial arts journey. “We look forward to serving the Glenmore Park community and helping individuals achieve their goals,” said Calvin.

Kayak Launch Decks
Penrith City Council is proposing to build two new kayak launch decks to make it safer and easier for people of all ages to launch kayaks and other passive watercraft such as canoes and stand up paddleboards on the Nepean River. The new launch decks are planned to be built on River Road, Leonay and at Factory Road Reserve, Regentville to create opportunities for people to access the water on both sides of the Nepean River. At Factory Road Reserve, it includes a new launch deck, access paths connecting the car park down to the water’s edge, a viewing deck, bench seating and landscaping. Improving access to the Nepean River for fishing and kayaking was identified as a priority for our community in the Our River Masterplan (2013) and the delivery of these launch decks will be another step towards realising this vision. Construction began in September 2023 with the project expected to be complete in November 2023.

Sydney Set to get Foamy and Fun: The 5K Foam Fest Returns this November!
GPBC Ballers Bouncing to the Top
Glenmore Park Basketball Club have capped off a successful Winter season, showing that they are a powerhouse in the Penrith and Districts Basketball Association (PDBA) Competition. The 2022/2023 Winter season saw over 250 players registered with the local club, across a total of 28 teams. They cater for Under 10’s through to Under 18’s age groups. There were highlights aplenty for the purple, gold, and whites on the court this year. “Winter was another amazing season for the club. The girls continued to shine throughout, and we also had 3 Grand Final winners” said Kathleen Burke, the newly appointed President of Glenmore Park Basketball Club. Kathleen took over the helm of the popular club from JD McDonald at the recent AGM. The sport of basketball is played all year round, with the Summer and Winter competitions taking place at Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre at Cambridge Park, on Fridays and Saturdays. “We have just started the Summer competition on 6th October and our club could not wait to get back on the courts!” she smiled. Whilst registrations have officially closed, they are happy to take any enquiries from players wishing to join Glenmore Park. As the new President, Kathleen is looking forward to this season. “The club has strong links to the local community and with thanks to all of our amazing volunteers, we are able to provide so many kids the opportunity to not only be part of the sport, but to have a place to make friends, be active and have fun. I am looking forward to continuing this and the ongoing success of the club” Kathleen explained to the Glenmore Gazette. Glenmore Park Basketball Club was formed in October 1998 by the founding members, the Keating family, along with Daphne Clarke, Ben Mackie, and Rochelle Dunsworth. An exciting milestone awaits, with planning currently underway for the club’s Silver Anniversary. “Stay tuned, as we are hoping to mark this achievement with a special event” she ended. r Under 12 Girls | Image supplied by Glenmore Park Basketball Club

Prefabricated vs Custom Orthoses So, a biomechanical assessment has determined that orthoses are required*. Let’s look at the benefits and limitations of the two main types of orthoses for support. Prefabricated Orthoses Most medical-grade prefabricated orthoses are made from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a type of rubber. Some have a plastic stabiliser added. Pros • a good option for patients needing low to moderate support • the softness of the rubber means it can be supportive and comfortable for a wide range of foot shapes • re-mouldable at low temperatures, so it can be modified to accommodate issues • can be modified with material additions or grinding equipment • cheaper option in the short-term • can be fitted immediately Cons • not suitable for patients requiring more support • not 100% ideal as they are not moulded to the foot shape, so the pain may take longer to resolve, or there may not be complete relief • can lose their shape over time when feet get hot in shoes • bulkier in shoes as rubber must be thicker to provide support • wear out quicker, more expensive in the long-term if they need to be replaced regularly Custom Orthoses Custom orthoses can be made from anything the patient needs! The best support is achieved using a polypropylene (PP) core, which is a semi-rigid plastic. We are asked all the time if this feels hard underfoot, but if moulded properly to the foot shape (we find plaster casting is better than the foam box or scanning methods) and providing the right kind of support, you’ll forget you are even wearing them after the initial adjustment period. Pros • moulded to your foot shape to provide optimum support • requires less thickness to provide support so not as bulky in shoes • durable, so they last longer and can be cost-effective in the long term • stronger material for people who are heavier on their feet or very active • re-mouldable at higher temperatures so will not break down in hot shoes • can be covered with a wide range of different materials to provide cushioning or protection without loss of support from the PP • easily cleaned, great for wet environments Cons • wait time of a couple of weeks for devices to be made • more expensive in the short-term r Image: Supplied * For general information only – a healthcare professional must be seen for tailored advice

FOOD 4 THOUGHT Poppi Tino Shop 1 ,Caddens Corner 82a O'Connell St Kingswood My Mum and I enjoyed a very delicious lunch at Poppi Tino in Caddens. Upon arrival, we were kindly greeted by Vinnie, who walked us over to a very comfortable booth. We ordered some sparkling water to begin our lunch. After reading through the menu and asking Vinnie for recommendations, Mum and I were keen to try the honey drizzled halloumi, topped with crushed pistachios. It was delightful. The blend of pistachios and honey glaze provided a perfect mix of sweet and savoury tastes to the halloumi. While I wasn’t a fan of halloumi served like this in the past, I would certainly choose this appetiser again. For main dishes, I selected the Risotto Gamberi, made with prawns, cherry tomatoes, basil, roquette, white wine, roasted garlic, and Napoli sauce. The prawns were cooked to perfection, and the cherry tomatoes introduced a delightful sweetness. The risotto, enriched by the white wine and Napoli sauce, had a savoury taste that was complemented by the fresh basil and roquette. The roasted garlic added a subtle depth of flavour that tied everything together. Overall, it was a delicious meal that I would highly recommend. Mum chose the Fettuccine Chilli Crab and Prawn, a combination of blue swimmer crab, prawns, cherry tomato, chilli, and herbs. She enjoyed the dish and said it was spicy. I sampled some of her dish and was delighted by the flavourful crisp prawns. The added chilli further enhanced the already delicious meal. I will be ordering this dish for myself next time. Both dishes were served with chilli oil and parmesan. For our sweet finale, we decided to share the flavourful tiramisu. To end our impressive lunch, we couldn’t resist sampling the coffee. The flat whites we ordered were velvety, creamy, and free from bitterness. Poppi Tino earns a perfect ten out of ten from me. I wish to thank Vinnie and his Team for their exceptional hospitality.

Walk, Talk, and Connect: Glenmore Park’s Newest Walking Group In a bid to promote better health, Joanne Gregory, a local resident, recently established a walking group for likeminded individuals in Glenmore Park. Established in September, the group congregates every weekday at 6:30 AM sharp, with their starting point located at the intersection of Foothills Terrace and Glenmore Ridge Dr, Glenmore Park. With a manageable distance of 1.8 kilometres, the walk is designed to be both invigorating and accessible, especially for those who might not be regular exercisers. “I’m not in the best shape myself, but I find this distance to be just right – long enough for a good workout but not overly exhausting,” said Joanne. The spark behind this initiative was Joanne’s personal quest for better health. “I needed to get healthier and wanted an exercise routine that would keep me motivated,” Joanne shared. “Having companions to walk with every day makes it hard to
skip a session. On days when I feel lazy, knowing that someone is waiting for me gives me that push I need.” Beyond the evident health benefits, Joanne believes that such groups play a vital role in community bonding. “There are probably a lot of people who wish to walk but don’t want to do it on their own. They may benefit from the interaction with other local women or someone to talk to,” she said. This group offers safety, socialisation, and an opportunity to strike up conversations with fellow residents. Joanne emphasises that new members are always welcome and encourages anyone interested to join them. “We are certainly open to anyone else joining us on the walk in the mornings, I found it a great way to meet new people,” she added. For those residing in or near Glenmore Park, Joanne Gregory’s walking group might just be the perfect start to your day – a mix of health, friendship, and fresh morning air.

Could Eating Germinated Barley Help Ulcerative Colitis Patients? Butyrate is a small fatty acid and main food for cells lining the colon. When healthy, these cells provide a strong protective lining for the colon. Without butyrate, colon cells slowly die. This leaves areas of colon without protection and the tissue underneath directly exposed to faeces. Areas of colon without this protective lining constitute the “ulcers” in ulcerative colitis. Butyrate is normally made by bacteria that live in the colon. Indigestible fibre from the vegetables and grains we eat passes through the digestive tract into the colon, where colonic bacteria work in teams, using the fibre to make butyrate. Many UC sufferers have abnormally low levels of “butyrate” in stool. Researchers asked whether butyrate production by colonic bacteria could be increased by feeding patients appropriate fibre-containing-foods. In a 4-week open-label study, scientists gave patients suffering active UC, 30g/day of a high fibre-food supplement called “Germinated Barley” (GB), a side product of beer production. Patients were kept on standard UC anti-inflammatory medications. The rationale behind the experiment was that: 1. Fibre from germinated barley, once in the colon, could be efficiently utilised by Bifido- and Lactobacilli bacteria to produce lactic acid and acetate (vinegar), 2. these compounds would then be taken up by other gut bacteria to make the ‘bowel-health-promoting’ butyrate in a process called cross-feeding.
Scientists found that after 4 weeks on germinated barley, patients had greater concentrations of butyrate in their stool, were clinically better, and endoscopic examination showed patients bowel walls looked significantly better. No patients had any negative side effects. The same scientists then did a controlled study in which 18 patients with mildly to moderately active UC, for 4 weeks, were given either: 1. baseline anti-inflammatory therapy (7 patients) or 2. 20–30 g GBF daily, together with the baseline treatment Patients receiving germinated barley showed: 1. significant clinical improvement 2. no side effects. And a representative patient on GB underwent: 1. microbial stool analysis - showing increased concentrations of: a. Bifidobacterium (acetate producing bacterium) and b. Eubacterium limosum (butyrate producing bacterium). 2. colonoscopy showing significant improvement in bowel appearance. Authors concluded oral therapy with germinated barley could be an effective adjunct therapy to reduce clinical signs and symptoms in UC patients. r **Refer to: www.districtgazette.com.au for expanded version

PAWS A WHILE Article Written + Submitted by: Kellie Tickner from Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital A: 49 Wentworth Rd, Orchard Hills P: 4736 2027
Celebrating Vet Nurse Day Recently the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital celebrated Vet Nurse Day. This annual event marks an important day for the veterinary industry and general public to acknowledge the vital role that vet nurses play within the veterinary team. The day was celebrated with a staff lunch, lots of gifts and flowers and of course everyone’s favourite, Subway cookies ! Our veterinary nurses entered the profession because they love animals – but nursing is a whole lot more than just cuddling cute puppies and kittens. Our experienced nurses are knowledgeable, technically skilled, compassionate and willing to assist whenever an animal, or client, requires help. Here’s a list of a few of the tasks that a veterinary nurse will regularly have to perform in a single day! Anaesthesia- Veterinary nurses will gently restrain animals in order to place intravenous catheters and, if required, collect blood samples for pre-anaesthetic health testing. They will calm and restrain a patient whilst they are being anaesthetised and then will capably monitor parameters, such as heart rate,
breathing rate, blood pressure, reflexes and body temperature to ensure that the patient experiences a safe anaesthetic. Patient Care - When animal patients stay in hospital, it is our experienced nurses who will perform ongoing checks on them throughout the day (between assessments by our vets), ensuring that they are provided with all the care and cuddles that is needed. Diagnostic Procedures - Our nurses are proficient in running in-clinic laboratory tests, including blood tests, urine tests and faecal analysis. This allows us to diagnose many common health conditions on site, so we can start prompt treatment for our patients. Assisting Our Vets - Last but not least, our nurses provide valuable support to our vets, providing hands-on assistance during important medical, surgical and imaging procedures. They also look after the ‘pet parents’ who may be worried for their fur-baby. Our nurses are of vital importance in achieving our goal of high-standard, compassionate animal care at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital. Let’s hear it for all the veterinary nurses!

Last month, Australians were asked to vote on the proposal to alter the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia by establishing an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. According to the Australian Electoral Commission website a record 97.7% of eligible Australians were enrolled to vote. Official results can be found here: https://aec.gov.au/ referendums/ November has arrived, and that can only mean one thing......Christmas is closer than you’d care to believe. I know I start out with every good intention to plan and prepare well in advance, and somehow, one way or another...... I end up battling the crowds of last-minute shoppers on Christmas Eve! Consider this your notice, it will sneak up on us! Remembrance Day falls this month, and serves as a reminder that the freedoms we appreciate today were secured through the sacrifice of others. Take a moment on the 11th to honour the brave men and women who have served. Lest we forget. ‘You are the artist of your own life. Don’t hand the paintbrush to anyone else.’ Time for a cuppa!
