Local Dogs Star at National Championships Silverdale’s Heather Addie recently had a dream run at the 2018 National Agility Championships in Victoria, with her three dogs Pickles, Dart and Charlie all coming away with prized placings in the prestigious dog agility event.

Pickles, a three-year-old Kelpie, was named Novice Jumping Dog 500 Champion, Dart, a fouryear-old Kelpie, was named Excellent Jumping Dog 500 Champion, whilst Charlie, an eight-yearold Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, was named Runner-Up in the Masters Agility 300.

Addie, who owns local business Polished Paws Dog Washing and Grooming, was over the moon with her dog’s amazing achievements at the Championships, “I didn’t have any expectations at the Nationals. I just wanted to have fun and enjoy the event with my dogs. It really was a bonus to come away with two wins and a runner-up. I could not be any prouder of them” she said.

Dog agility is a canine sport that involves the handler to direct the dog through an obstacle course and perform various skills, where they are  (L-R) Dart, Charlie and Pickles with their ribbons and certificates from the 2018 National Agility Championships | Image Supplied

Nepean Puffers And Wheezers

Especially for Youth High School and being a teenager can be exciting and terrifying! Big things are worked out – who we are, who are our real friends, what is life about, what does my future look like? It can be lonely and stressful, but also full of fun and friendships.

The Bible has many helpful things to say to teenagers, and to parents trying hard to care for them.

For example, from the book of 1 Timothy, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”

What wonderful, wise, affirming words for our Youth to be encouraged and live by!

It can be tough for our Youth, but Jesus offers hope and assurance. Jesus transforms lives with deep peace, joy and hope, that withstands the pressures, temptations, isolation and anxieties young people can face.

In our partnership with Glenmore Park Anglican Church, caring for High Schoolers, helping them get to know Jesus and navigate life, is a big priority!

We teach Scripture and run a Christian group at Glenmore Park High. We run Friday Night Velocity Youth, weekly from 7pm - 9pm for Year 7 to 12, plus meeting with them in smaller weekly Year Groups.

We also have 7pm Night Church on Sundays – especially aimed at Youth. A big highlight is our Youth Summit Camp – coming up soon Wednesday 18th to Sunday 22nd July at Port Hacking. The students love it! They return full of enthusiasm to live lives reflecting the Bible verse above, lives with Jesus at the centre, full of hope and growing in godliness of “speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.”

Are you in High School? Do you know a High School Student?

Take the plunge! Join us Friday, Sunday and at Summit – you’ll be surprised to discover the difference that knowing Jesus makes!

Like to know more? Call Miles Stepniewski 0415890391, or check out the “Velocity Youth” Facebook page.

On the second Wednesday of every month, a group of people gather in the Kingswood Neighbourhood Centre with one thing in common: breathing. The Nepean Puffers and Wheezers was founded in 1999 to provide education and support for people with a varying range of lung conditions.

Local resident, John Ruttle has been the President for a decade now. “One of our biggest problems is the breathing” he said, “so we try to get as much info as we can on it”.

Ruttle’s journey started with a persistent cough about 17 years ago, that was diagnosed as Bronchitis. Three years later, he was diagnosed with Emphysema and then two years after that Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).

The COPD Foundation describes the disease as ‘an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and refractory (non-reversible) asthma’. It is characterised by increasing breathlessness and is currently incurable. The treatment focuses on management to help people live better lives.

According to a statistic by the Lung Foundation Australia, ‘almost 1 in 7 people 40 years and older have airflow limitation and more people are dying from COPD each year’.

As well as sufferers of COPD, there are people with other lung diseases and breathing problems who attend the Puffers and Wheezers group. The first two hours of the meeting usually has a guest speaker and then after that there is a ‘Lungs in Action’ exercise class that is free and run by a qualified physio.

“We try to encourage people to come along and join in, even if they only do a few little steps” said Ruttle.

One of the most important aspects of the group is the social side. It’s important to meet and bond with people in similar circumstances. There are organised bus trips to help people get out and about a bit more as well.

The next meeting of the Nepean Puffers and Wheezers is on 13 June at Kingswood Neighbourhood Centre, 19 Bringelly Road. The first month is free and it is $3 per month after that, with a $2 raffle each month as well.

PARENTS CORNER

Article Written + Submitted by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) Nepean Community + Neighbourhood Services P: 47218520 E: narelle@nepeancommunity.org.au FaceBook: Parenting in Penrith Blog: handsheartsminds.wordpress.com

Simple Joys of Life Lately, I’ve been listening to kids. No surprise there, because I work with kids. But, I mean really listening, deep listening.

And what has astonished me is that kids are so stressed.

We, adults, think that kids have things so easy these days.

They actually don’t. They have a lot of pressure that we would never have imagined as kids School is harder. Have a good look at the school curriculum some day.

There is a lot of pressure from parents to do well at everything.

Parents have high expectations of their children. Children have high expectations of themselves. This can lead to disappointment, anger, despair, and arguments.

Kids do lots of activities after school. They have a lot of chores.

There are life lessons to learn. There is hardly any down time.

They use technology that isn’t play, it’s fast moving light and sound and information. I have seen 4 year-olds with FitBits (why does a young child need a FitBit?).

These kids don’t know how to slow down. They are uncomfortable with silence and space. They have trouble sitting still and taking slow deep breaths. They think that it’s a waste of time. They feel like they have to constantly be on the go and doing, doing, doing. They are addicted to light, speed, and sound. They get bored easily. They think too much and worry a lot about lots of stuff.

Humans weren’t built that way. We need rest. Always doing and being creates stress. The stress hormone ‘cortisol’ is a nasty piece of work. It can cause physical and mental disease. It’s no wonder that the percentage of anxiety in children is increasing.

One in four of our young people will develop clinical depression.

That’s too sad. I’m not sure that any good comes of children aged 10, 11, and 12 years saying that they are stressed and depressed.

And when they try to talk to their parents about it, the parents don’t listen and tell them how easy their lives are and how good they have it.

What are the juicy bits of life? The deep stuff – relationship, connection, talking, pondering, wondering, listening, looking, breathing. That stuff shouldn’t be saved for the annual family holiday. How can you bring the deep stuff into everyday life, and teach your kids the simple joys of life?

judged on time and accuracy.

In preparation for the Nationals, Heather took her dogs to training twice a week. This allowed them to practice their skills on different courses leading up to the big event.

With the National Agility Championships held every two years, Heather plans to continue entering her dogs in local and regional events throughout the year.

“We just competed at an event in Port Macquarie, which went really well. We had a clear round, which means that you complete the course with no mistakes. From here, we will take it as it comes” Addie finished.

Education Overhaul

ABC Education, teachers and schooling have been widely discussed topics of late. The myriad of topics being avidly discussed range from funding, to curriculum reforms, to teacher’s working conditions, to student well-being and more. It seems that anyone and everyone has their opinion, and most are willing to share their thoughts with others whether it be in the staffroom, in the playground, in the paper or online.

Without any doubt the core ‘business’, for want of a better word, of schools is to grow children in knowledge, skills and abilities whilst nurturing them socially. Over the years additional responsibilities have crept to the forefront and these have, in some cases, detracted from what is essentially the bare essentials of teaching. Teachers and politicians have sometimes referred to this as the ‘crowded curriculum’.

This is not an article in which the finger is being pointed at any one person, group of people, or organisations, but this is simply a statement of what has occurred. Unfortunately, with the situation as it stands there is no quick fix solution. Now obviously some schools cope with this better than others, and that has a lot to do with the quality of leadership and the way in which they utilise funding available to them - and of course how much funding they get. You see, the myriad of hot topics currently being discussed are all interconnected, therefore it is time to look at the system as a whole and start joining the pieces together.

This is not a new suggestion, it has been initiated previously and even attempted with the Gonski Report and overhaul of the curriculum over the past few years to establish a National Curriculum. Let us hope that with all the discussions currently occurring, positive steps to ensure the best possible education for our children and our future generations will be taken by those who have the power to influence and initiate change.  The curriculum has become overcrowded | Image: www.pexels.com.

District Gazette Writer Publishes First Book Even though author, Lisa Finn Powell, is the mother of five children aged 10-27, she feels a lot like a first-time mum after the publication of her new book, The Thin Time. “I’m so proud of my ‘book baby’” said Finn Powell. “It was a very long time in the making, and now I just want to share it with everyone”.

The book launched last month at 20 Mile Hollow Cafe in Woodford. It was a family affair. Her very talented children included, Grace, an actor, who gave the introductory speech; Will, a trained photographer, held his exhibition ‘Sensations of Grief’; Nick, a musician, performed his original song ‘Decade’ written for his father; Belle, wrote the foreword in the book and ten-year-old Charlie was also there in support.

Her graphic designer husband Vinnie, typeset the book and designed the cover. Finn Powell is also a musician and sang at the event.

The Thin Time is the story of a very difficult time in the author’s life, when her late husband, Paul, died and she had four young children to raise after discovering they were completely financially unprepared. It is a memoir of grief, loss, hope and the lessons she learned by listening to the wind blowing though the gum trees.

Finn Powell is an experienced writer and columnist. Her work has appeared in newspapers, magazines and on radio, television and online in the US, UK and Australia. She is a regular contributor to the District Gazette.

The Thin Time is her first book, “It’s my first born, but the second is already on the way”. She is currently working on a three-book series Accidental Expat, on her experiences as an American who immigrated to London and is now settled in Australia.

She is also a powerful speaker with an inspiring story and is available for talks. Please contact her for more information at info@ lisafinnpowell.com.

NSAIDs – What Does The Science Say About Their Efficacy For Chronic Pain?

This month let’s see whether NSAIDs are effective for chronic pain.

Our first study was done at Oxford University 2004. Researcher pooled results from 14 placebo-controlled trials (1502 patients) using NSAIDs to treat musculoskeletal pain (Mason 2004). The NSAID was deemed ‘efficacious’ if it could reduce pain by 50% after two weeks intake. What they found was as follows: 1. Placebo treatment achieved efficacy for 26% of patients (ranging between 7-78%) 2. NSAID treatment achieved efficacy for 48% of patients (ranging between 2 – 90%) 3. 4.6 patients had to be treated with NSAIDs for two weeks to give just 1 patient a 50% reduction in pain compared to placebo. In ‘medical speak’ this 4.6 figure is called the ‘number needed to treat’ or NNT) Now NSAIDs were clearly more effective than placebo on average. But the result still means that nearly 4 out of 5 people treated did not get even a 50% reduction in musculoskeletal pain after two weeks of treatment.

More recently, a Cochrane review (Derry 2012) of NSAIDs and osteoarthritis (34 studies, 7688 patients) showed that: 1. NSAIDS were more effective than placebo, but still 2. 6.4 patients had to be treated with topical Diclofenac solution for 8-12 weeks to give just 1 patient a 50% reduction in pain compared to placebo while, 3. 11 patients had to be treated with topical Diclofenac gel

for 8-12 weeks to give just 1 patient a 50% reduction in pain compared to placebo 4. For all topical NSAIDs combined, 10 patients (range: 7–17) needed to be treated to give 1 patient a 50% reduction in pain compared to placebo 5. Oral & topical formulations had similar efficacy (but different side effect profiles) A UK study (Underwood 2008) followed 585 patients with osteoarthritic knee pain for 2 years. Patients were prescribed either topical or oral (maximum of 1.2g) ibuprofen daily. Patients experienced no significant difference in pain scores, stiffness, movement difficulty, or any global improvement after 6, 12, 18 or 24 months of treatment. This is a remarkable result.

The Oxford University Analgesic League table lists medications in order of ability to get a 50% pain reduction in acute pain over 4-6 hours. Many medications have NNTs of 2-4 and some combination medications do better. Though they no doubt ‘take the edge off ’ short term, why does it seem that NSAID intake makes little if any difference to long term chronic pain?

The answer is simple and goes back to the function of inflammation, which is, to eliminate the initial cause of cell injury. NSAIDs and other pain medications initially reduce pain but fail to fix the cause of inflammation. The body is clever. If something isn’t right, resistance develops to NSAID intake ensuring you continue to realise something’s wrong. Thus longterm, your pain remains, unless you fix the cause.

Winter Is Coming!!!

With the cooler weather arriving, it is important to make sure your pets are kept safe and comfortable as well.

Ensure that pets, especially those who spend a lot of time outdoors, are provided with shelter that will protect them from the cool and windy weather.

Provide a warm, sheltered area for your pet to sleep in â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether it is the laundry or inside the house as temperatures can drop dramatically during the night.

A wet coat can cause your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body temperature to drop quickly, so in the case of wet weather or morning dew, keep your pets as dry as possible. Towel dry them after walks or when they come inside the house.

Consider a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; haircut for pets who are groomed often, by not having their hair cut too short. Pets who have a short coat or are groomed often may also need a jacket or coat to help keep them warm.

Take extra care with pets who are really young or really old, as they may need extra assistance in regulating their body temperature.

Heaters and open fires can be dangerous to pets with the risk of overheating or burning. Ensure you supervise your pets, provide barricades or safety screens.

Along with frosty weather, comes the dreaded cold and flu. Most human drugs used to relieve our symptoms are toxic to pets.

These include, but are not limited to, Paracetamol (Panadol), Ibuprofen (Nurofen), Phenylephrine and Pseudoephedrine (Cold and Flu tablets). Keep your medications out of reach of your pets. Contact the veterinarian if your pet ingests human medications.

Check out our website for more information www.orchardhillsvet.com.au or join us on Facebook.

We look forward to meeting you and your pets at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital, and please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team. ď ˛ Keep your pets safe and comfortable this Winter | Image Supplied

Latest @ Luddenham by Wayne Willmington Staged construction of the $98 million Twin Creeks Resort was given the green light in May by the Sydney Western City Planning Panel by way of deferred commencement development approval.

The new five-star resort at Luddenham will include a 163room hotel, alterations and additions to the existing Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club, a resort style swimming pool, gymnasium, multipurpose conference facilities, function centre and ballroom, beauty and day spa, restaurants and bars, two levels of basement car parking with approximately 400 car spaces plus, community and retail facilities. The approval is the first step in a long-term vision for the development which seeks to establish Twin Creeks as a world-class lifestyle and tourism destination in Luddenham.

On 17 May, the Australian Government officially signed over the Western Sydney Airport site to WSA Co Limited (WSA Co).

The granting of the lease formalises WSA Co’s right to build and operate the airport. WSA Co’s CEO, Graham Millett said, “We are delighted to accept the Airport Lease from the Commonwealth Government and look forward to delivering a world class airport in Western Sydney”.

WSA Co was incorporated on 7 August 2017 as a wholly Commonwealth-owned company. The Commonwealth Government has committed to investing up to $5.3 billion in equity in WSA Co to build Western Sydney Airport, a full-service international, domestic and freight airport. The Luddenham Airport is getting closer.

The Forum On Western Sydney Airport (FOWSA), is the key community consultation group for Western Sydney Airport, and are hosting a series of drop-in community information sessions.

Details of the sessions are as follows:

1.

Wednesday 30 May 2018 – Warragamba Public School, 5-8pm.

2. Thursday 31 May 2018 – Chipping Norton Community Centre, 5-8pm.

3. Friday 1 June 2018 – Glenbrook School of the Arts Hall, 5-8pm.

4. Saturday 2 June 2018 – Penrith Panthers Leagues Club, 10am-1pm.

There is no need for community members to register; they can drop in to a session at the time and location that suits them.

The next FOWSA meeting will be held following the information session on Saturday 2 June. This general business meeting will be open for public observation.

I am very keen to try and organise a Museum of the Heritage of Luddenham and I would like to try and do it before too much changes. If you are interested, please contact me on the email below.

If you have an opinion on what Luddenham of the future should be like, please email your thoughts or views to willmingtons@ bigpond.com.

NEXT ISSUE DEADLINE

Well Winter has arrived.

Time to pull out your winter woollies, rug up and keep warm as the aroma of fresh home-made soup wafts through the home.

On page 8, you will find one of my winter go-to recipes. I've already made this a handful of times this year, such a simple yet hearty winter warmer.

Sadly, we farewelled my Mum last month. It was the single hardest thing I have ever had to face in my adult life. I live on knowing she is no longer suffering, and can now breathe easy. I pay tribute to her courageous battle on page 4.

"What hurts you today, makes you stronger tomorrow." Miss you Mum xxx Enjoy your Community News.
