M
ark Greenhill says he is “blown away” by the result of the Local Government Election. Cr Greenhill dominated the poll in Ward 4, taking out 50.9 per cent of the votes and gaining enough of the primary vote to be able to secure running mate Darryl Bowling a spot on Council for the next four years. “I’m blown away,” Cr Greenhill said. “I was so shocked when reports of votes started coming in at 50 per cent, I spent all of Sunday trying to get it to sink in.” Liberal Councillor Brendan Christie will also be returning for another term on Council in Ward 4. Independent Shae Foenander, who vowed to always speak for the residents, clearly won them over, with 28 per cent of the primary vote in Ward 3. “I am extremely honoured and humbled by the community’s response in voting for me in the local Council elections,” Ms Foenander said. Labor Councillor Mick Fell and Liberal Councillor Daniel Myles will also see out another term on Council. In Ward 2, Labor were the clear front runners with Councillor Romola Hollywood topping the polls. Longstanding Liberal Councillor Chris van der Kley also won a seat as did Greens candidate Brent Hoare. In Ward 1, Labor Councillor Don McGregor won the top spot with Greens newcomer Kerry Brown coming in second. Liberal candidate Kevin Schreiber took out the final place for Ward 1.

Green bins reduce landfill by 32.5pc But sudden rate rise has some residents seeing red after Council strips subsidy on smaller 140 litre bins ERIN MAMO
hanks to Council, landfill waste in the Blue Mountains has reduced, but taxpayer rates seem to have increased. In the first eight weeks of the new green bin waste service, almost one third (32.5 per cent) of the household waste stream has been diverted from landfill. But it appears that for some residents the new waste service has triggered a change in their council rates. Council said initially that the garden waste service would come at no extra cost to them or the community. Now it has been clarified that residents who were receiving a subsidy for using the smaller, 140 litre red garbage bins will see an increase in waste charges on their bills. This is because the new service standardised the smaller garbage bin size for all households. Now all residents will be paying the same amount for their waste service if they use the standardised bins. Blue Mountains resident, Kirsty Dausmann, isn’t happy about the sudden rate hike. “We already pay enough,” she said.
T
“However, I think it seems reasonable that the subsidy has been taken away as we now all have the small red bin, unless you pay a hefty price to keep the large one.” Mayor Mark Greenhill said the new service has saved the tip from having to close due to being too full. “The new waste service, backed by majority community support, has been rewarding to date,” he said. “In saying that, I think taking the subsidy away in one hit wasn’t right.” With this in mind, Cr Greenhill took a motion to the last council meeting, suggesting that Council look for other options that soften the removal of the subsidy. Cr Greenhill recently advised The Record that there has also been a general rate increase of around $30 a quarter that is collected on behalf of the State Government and is unrelated to the new service. Council predicts an additional 7,600 tonnes of waste will be diverted from landfill in a 12 month period to 30 June 2017, if the current trend continues. The decision to adopt the service, which was rolled out to over 33,000 households on July 4, was based on over two years of research and community consultation.

Is the once great Apple finally losing its mojo? s one of the biggest companies on the planet, Apple is used to telling people what to do and how to think. In fact, it made an artform out of it, revolutionising the entire music industry, re-inventing the mobile phone and making tablets a must-have accessory. But as the tech giant learned last week, you can only rule the roost for so long.

Eventually, people get sick of being dictated to and look for alternatives. Apple’s decision to remove the humble headphone jack from its next iPhone, an attempt it seems to disrupt the multibillion dollar audio visual industry, has been met with significant criticism. No longer do people look at Apple as visionary; no longer do they feel a need to ‘follow the leader’.
Instead, Apple has been the butt of jokes, Internet memes and a wave of negativity from tech experts. The party is over. Sure, there was still plenty of people desperate for the new phone when it went on sale on Friday. But behind the scenes, Apple is quickly losing its mojo and threatens to be eaten up by competitors in the coming years.

Alphabet Soup Cinema turns one Cinema for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, intersex and queer community set to celebrate in style ERIN MAMO
he Blue Mountains’ Alphabet Soup Cinema for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transexual, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) community is turning one. To celebrate, they will hold their first birthday celebrations on Saturday, September 24 at the Baroque Bar and Nightclub, Katoomba. The event will kick off at 7.30pm with a screening of ‘Between a Frock and a Hard Place’, the acclaimed documentary about the classic Australian film, ‘The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’. Katoomba resident and documentary producer, Jo-Anne McGowan, will introduce the film, which was screened nationally on the ABC in March this year. “‘Between a Frock and a Hard Place’ has been very well received since its release,” Ms McGowan said. “‘Priscilla’ is integral to Australia’s cultural landscape, it’s a crucible of transformation and changing attitudes, and it propelled many of its young cast and crew to international fame.” The documentary was recently nominated for a performance writing award at the 2016 Awgie Awards, which will take

place on October 16. The screening of the documentary at Alphabet Soup’s birthday celebrations will be followed by a screening of ‘Priscilla, Queen of the Desert’ and then the Baroque Bar will transform into a dance party featuring pop and disco classics. Alphabet Soup Cinema coordinator, Peter Hackney, said it will be a night of celebrating with lots of fun to be had. He said revellers from near and far can expect a colourful display with all the hallmarks of the iconic film. “Think music, lights, disco balls and drag queens,” he said. 100 per cent of the profits from the evening will go towards Pink Mountains Youth, a new social support group for local LGBTIQ juveniles. Pink Mountains Youth was established for the LGBTIQ youth in the Mountains after it was identified that there weren’t any dedicated services that provide a regular safe space for social activity. The group meets on a monthly basis at the Katoomba Youth Centre on Waratah Street, Katoomba. Tickets to Alphabet Soup’s birthday celebrations are $20 and are available at www.alphabetsoupcinema.eventbrite. com.

Free workplace health checks for businesses ERIN MAMO
lue Mountains business owners will have the chance to learn more about healthy living in the workplace this month at a free event in Katoomba. On Wednesday, September 21, the Get Healthy at Work Business Breakfast will welcome business owners and human resource managers to learn how to develop plans for healthy living in the workplace. Australians spend about one third of their lives at work, and being healthy while there can make a big impact on helping to reduce the prevalence of lifestyle-related chronic disease such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease, not to mention boost employee engagement, productivity and retention. Susie Burrell, a leading Australian dietician who regularly appears on Channel Seven’s ‘Sunrise’ and has written for The Daily Telegraph, will be a guest speaker at the event. “The aim of this program is to provide practical strategies and tips on how we can make being healthy at work the easy option,” Ms Burrell said. “We want to find ways that our own personal health can benefit as well as the overall health of a workplace.”
B
Guests can expect to be treated to a breakfast that is both delicious and healthy at the free event at The Lookout Restaurant, Echo Point. While eating, they will learn how to develop a simple action plan that addresses a priority health issue in their workplace, like healthy eating, physical activity, weight loss, smoking or alcohol consumption. Developed by SafeWork NSW in partnership with NSW Health, the Get Healthy at Work program gives businesses free access to an accredited workplace health provider who can help set some health goals. There will also be confidential health checks on offer for businesses that have 50 or more staff present, with the option to receive an overall health report on their workplace. According to SafeWork NSW, less than half of Australian organisations currently promote health and wellness in the workplace. Yet, according to its website, healthy workers are three times more productive than their unhealthy colleagues. To register your place at the Blue Mountains Get Healthy at Work event go to www.gethealthyatwork.com.au/ bizbreakfast.

Bright sparks recognised by local MP TAFE students at the “top of their game” praised for commitment to social justice and professional skills ERIN MAMO
ember for Blue Mountains Trish Doyle recently acknowledged Blue Mountains TAFE students who have excelled in their training and used their skills to achieve. This month, Ms Doyle visited the Wentworth Falls TAFE campus to honour students in fields like web design, beauty therapy and computer programming. IT students Owen Breckell, Ryan Warwick-Day and Ariel Osborne were all recognised by the MP for their outstanding commitment to social justice, after they recently travelled to Vanuatu to help build a solar powered computer system for a disadvantaged school. Head of IT and teacher at the Blue Mountains College, Colin Tyrrell, who organised the trip, said he was proud of the students for committing to the project and really taking the time to interact with the children and teachers in Vanuatu. “We took over a kit for a solar powered computer system that we then had to install,” Mr Tyrrell said. “The students did everything from putting solar panels on the roof of the building to teaching the 200 kids how to
M
Trish Doyle with high achieving students and staff at Blue Mountains College, Wentworth Falls use the system. “Still to this day, the students can’t believe that the school had no Internet or computers before we arrived. They are an amazing bunch of students.” Students Kay-Lee Howlett, Sam Leatherdale and Jaron Fulthorp were also recognised as achievers by Ms Doyle after they each won a gold medal at last year’s
regional WorldSkills competition. WorldSkills is a competition that showcases Australia’s top apprentices, trainees and students’ talent and skills in their chosen profession. Blue Mountains TAFE Colleges have a strong track record of excellence at WorldSkills, particularly on an international stage.
At the 2015 international WorldSkills competition a Blue Mountains representative won silver in web design. Ms Doyle said it was a joy to observe and celebrate the hard work of local students. “These young people are at the top of their game and that’s down to their hard work and the fantastic teaching staff at Blue Mountains College,” she said.

I have recently been reading a number of articles written by people who aspire to early retirement, actually, make that very early retirement. The blogging world seems to play host to a plethora of people whose working life would seem to be just commencing, but who are intent on documenting their path to a life of leisure by the time they are 35 years old. They even have a term for this, ‘extreme retirement’, and quite astonishingly it appears people are managing to achieve this goal of financial independ-
owner and manager Investor Tuition investortuition.com.au
ence – presuming of course, that we believe all we read! Their strategy is not at all complex and boils down to a very frugal lifestyle coupled with a saving ethos that would put Scrooge McDuck to shame. But the one major component they all have is the importance of setting goals – and not just setting goals, but also the commitment
to achieve them. Here are some tips to help you fulfil your financial dreams: Firstly, develop short term, mid term and long term financial goals by thinking carefully about what it is you want to achieve. Now turn these aspirational goals into the real ‘McCoy’ by making them specific, measurable and achievable. For example, you may want an overseas holiday, so your goal would be: “I will be travelling to London for a two-week holiday departing on the 12/4/2018, the estimated total cost inclusive of spending money is $12,000.” Next, break down your goal and turn your large amount into small chunks that can be easily achieved, this could be weekly, fortnightly or monthly. Always automate where possible. You’ve worked out the weekly savings amount, now get your bank to deduct this for you, it saves you needing the willpower! And finally, always monitor your progress and don’t forget to ‘celebrate’ as you achieve milestones! Setting and achieving goals for financial success is not always going to be a smooth path just because you have done it, but at least it will provide a path were one probably didn’t exist before.

shopping from the outer areas of the supermarket. This is where you’ll find fresh fruit and vegetables, herbs, spices, meats, seafood, dairy and grain products. These are the types of foods that make up the majority of a healthy diet. When purchasing fresh fruit and vegetables, it helps to look for what’s in season and grown in Australia. This
way you’re less likely to end up with produce that’s been sitting in cold storage for long periods of time. The next thing that I think many of us overlook when shopping is that it pays to be curious. Variety is one of the keys to a balanced diet, so while we all have our favourite foods it’s a good idea to try new things, especially when it comes to fresh produce. One of the areas of the supermarket that can be most misleading is the health food aisle. Don’t get me wrong, there are nutritious options hiding in there, but there’s also a heap of clever marketing that can disguise high fat and high sugar products as ‘health’ foods. If in doubt read the nutrition panel and take particular notice of serving size. Sale items are another aspect that can have a hidden downside. Stocking up when things are on sale, especially snack foods, can end up being too tempting if you tend to be an over-eater. Remember, saving a dollar here and there won’t save you money if you end up eating more in the process. Lastly if confectionery isn’t a ‘must purchase’ item then skip the aisle altogether. No one ever gets out of that aisle lolly-free!

For a food lover the supermarket can be paradise. But for others, grocery shopping can be frustrating. This week I thought I’d offer some tips that I’ve learned over the years – both as a consumer and a nutritionist – to help make healthy food choices during your next trip to the shops. To start with, never ever shop when you’re hungry, in my experience this is a recipe for disaster. Once you’re well fed and ready to shop, one of the best tips I could give is to aim to purchase most of your

ixons Trees is a reliable and professional tree removal company that is based in Lawson and has serviced the Blue Mountains and surrounding areas for the past six years. The business specialises in tree pruning and removal, stump grinding and chipping and mulching to residents from Penrith to Lithgow. Owner, Phil Dixon, is a qualified Arborist and has built his business to accommodate both large and small scale work within the residential and commercial market. Mr Dixon said his professional crew are experienced in all aspects of the tree removal process. “We are able to help our clients with any small or large tree issue in an efficient and safe manner,” he said. Mr Dixon said he has all the equipment needed to tackle jobs of any size. “Our fleet includes a large tipper truck, whole tree chippers, stump grinders, an excavator, bobcat and a crane which allows us to
comfortably remove trees of any shape or size,” he said. Dixons Trees recently added a large whole tree chipper and a 30 tonne crane to its fleet which enables the business to continue to remove large or difficult trees. The crane boom extends to a length of 45 metres, which gives them plenty of range to work with. “The benefit of the new crane purchase means we don’t have the hire fee of a crane company to account for in our quoting process,” Mr Dixon said. “This ensures our prices are kept reasonable and very competitive.” Is there a troublesome tree that you’d like removed? Do you need a quote or advice on the best action to take? If you want professional, reliable and expert advice, look no further than the locals at Dixons Trees. For more information in relation to any tree or crane enquiry you may have please call Phil on 0413 577 817. Or visit the company website online at www.dixonstrees.com. au.

hen I started my business, I had no financial backing. I was in a fortunate position of having some paid maternity leave and a partner who worked full-time. But I was faced with the challenge of building a business with resources other than money. The first way I did this was to commit to covering my operating expenses only with the revenue I generated through my business. Although my partner was supportive of me starting a business, I also didn’t want the business to be a drain on our finances. Having no capital behind me forced me to be creative in generating income. It also made me appreciate every dollar that came in to the business, and gave me a great sense of pride that I built my business without relying on outside funding. Marketing was the next area I had to work hard to cover with little or no money. These days, social media has enormous potential for free marketing for your business – generating trust and sharing your story on social media costs nothing. While it takes strategy
and well planned campaigns to do it well, you can gain the sort of valuable information that would have been almost impossible for small businesses to gather 10 years ago. But social media aside, there are still numerous low cost or free ways to market your brand (for some great ideas, read Permission Marketing or Purple Cow by Seth Godin). And finally, I learnt to minimise my mistakes – or where I did inevitably make a mistake, I took the time to learn from it. Most of my policies and procedures have been developed from situations or mistakes. It has always been a priority for me to adjust my practices and sometimes it has resulted in far better ways to operate. It is important to realise that money isn’t a necessity for business success. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to take your business forward. Learn to think outside the box and rely on creativity rather than finances to overcome obstacles. Your business will develop far more innovatively and you will save your business unnecessary expenditure in the process.
T
he importance of a comprehensive, thoughtful business plan cannot be over-emphasised but, I hear you say, they are so PAINFUL to write. A recent survey of more than 800 people in the process of starting businesses found that writing a plan greatly increased the chances that a person would actually go into business. The research also showed that business plans were all about walking the walk. People who write business plans also do more! And doing more, such as researching markets and preparing projections, increases the chances a business will follow through and succeed over time. Others say business plans are a waste of time and do not appear to help the performance of the business subsequently. Research is still an integral part of the planning process, as are talking to potential target markets about the product or service. And a wide gulf separates having a formal written plan and having no plan at all. Every business has to start with a plan, whether it’s committed to paper or a more advanced description jotted down
on the back of an envelope. The money factor Sceptics and fans of business plans agree on one point: Securing finance or funding almost always requires a formal plan. Be it for commercial banks, government-backed lenders and most investors, you will need a business plan. Keep it short Plans today no longer need the 20 to 40 pages prescribed by classic planners. The shorter it is, the better chance it has of being read. It it is recommended you devote no more than five pages to financials (income, cashflow and balance sheet projections). And don’t have any numbers in there that you can’t explain. Planning for the future Regardless of the length, typically most have an executive summary, a marketing plan, a management team description and financials. Don’t forget a plan is only useful if it is being executed! It’s no use sitting in the top draw and not aligned to your daily business goals. Similarly it’s of no use if it’s out of date – constant updates are essential to good business health and growth.

ountry music star Gord Bamford may have a hugely successful career in Canada, but in his birth country of Australia he’s still relatively unknown. The three time winner of Male Artist of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards is onto his eighth album, but his latest – ‘Tin Roof’ – is the first to be released in Australia. Gord left our shores at the age of five and, up until recently, had a strained relationship with his Australian father. “I came over there when I finished high school and tried out for the baseball team there on the Gold Coast,” he said. “I actually wanted to try to reunite with my dad but it didn’t go very well.” After a rocky first attempt the musician returned to Australia a few years back with his wife and kids, and the pair managed to rekindle their relationship. “I was able to put the past in the past and move on with getting to know my dad, so that was kind of cool,” he said. Since then Gord’s father has had the chance to experience his son’s musical talent on stage in the heartland of country music. “He came over to Nashville for Christmas and spent about six weeks with us,” he said.
“We toured in Canada so he got a chance to see what I do and it definitely was a great moment, obviously for him and myself.” Gord’s current focus is on his relationship with the Australian country music scene. After kicking off his first official tour Down Under with a spot on the Gympie Music Muster line-up in August, the country music star will be heading to the Evan Theatre next month for a mini country music festival called ‘This Crazy Life’. “Australia intrigues me more than anything,” Gord said. “Being the country where I was born and having family there; it’s just a great place to be so I’m just really focused on that right now.” It took a lot of hard work to get where he is now and Gord’s not afraid to do the same in his country of birth. “I’ve had a lot of success but it’s been with lots of effort,” he said. “Building a great team of people is key and we’ve been able to do that in Canada, so I’m looking forward to building those relationships in Australia as well. “It’s a big market and I’m excited to get in there and be part of it.” The ‘This Crazy Life Tour’ will be on at the Evan Theatre on Friday, October 21 at 8pm. Tickets are $25-$40.30. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.penrith.panthers.com.au.

DVD Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows Rated PG // KATE REID Everyone’s favourite pizza loving turtles are back with the release of ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows’ on DVD and Blu-ray this week. Once again it’s up to Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Donatello (Jeremy Howard), Leonardo (Pete Ploszek), and Raphael (Alan Ritchson) to save the day against the supervillain Shredder (Brian Tee). When Shredder escapes custody he teams up with mad scientist Baxter Stockman (Tyler Perry), and henchmen Rocksteady (Stephen ‘Sheamus’ Farrelly) and Bebop (Gary Anthony Williams), to hatch a plan to take over the world. But it’s not just Shredder and his crew that the Turtles must take on;
the notorious Krang (Brad Garrett) is also causing trouble for the foursome. Megan Fox and Will Arnett are back in ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows’ as April O’Neil and Vernon Fenwick. The pair are joined by newcomers Laura Linney as Chief Vincent and Tyler Perry as Baxter Stockman. Reviews for ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows’ haven’t been great, with movie review site Rotten Tomatoes describing the film as an improvement on its predecessor but still not up to the quality of the comics. Regardless, this is a film that ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ fans won’t want to miss.

When Captain ‘Sully’ Sullenberger did the seemingly impossible and landed a damaged plane on the Hudson River in 2009 the world was watching. So it’s really no surprise that the heroic story has become the subject of the new film ‘Sully’, directed by Clint Eastwood.
On January 15, 2009 Captain Sully (Tom Hanks) saves the lives of 155 passengers on US Airways flight 1549 after a flock of geese disable both engines. The experienced pilot manages to glide the plane to safety on the freezing waters of the Hudson, but as the praise rolls in from the media and the public an investigation into the events of that day threaten to destroy Sully’s reputation. The supporting cast includes Aaron Eckhart as First Officer Jeffrey Skiles,
and Laura Linney as Lorraine Sullenberger. Expectations are high for this film, understandably considering the pairing of Hanks and Eastwood. So far it looks like those expectations have been met, with critics praising the film as a worthy tribute to an everyday hero. ‘Sully’ is currently showing at Hoyts Penrith.

Ê ‘Saturday Disney’, that show you used to watch in the morning as a kid, is no longer after Channel Seven wielded its axe after an incredible 26 years. One of the longest running kids’ shows in Australia, ‘Saturday Disney’ will air its final episode on September 24. While I haven’t watched the show in a long time, it was well and truly in its heyday when the likes of Shelly Craft, James Sherry and Mel Symons were at the helm.

RELAX AND UNWIND WITH THE BLUE MOUNTAINS RECORD ARIES
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
Monday is a terrific time to learn something new or share an adventure with someone special. Whereas Tuesday and Wednesday are the days to review your work and exercise routines, so you find which ones are still relevant – and which ones need to be turfed from your timetable for good. Plus keep yourself mentally sharp and strong; then you can bounce back from inevitable delays and disappointments that come along. The weekend is wonderful for romance.

HOROSCOPES
TAURUS
APRIL 21 TO MAY 21
Are you ready to jump out of a boring rut? Monday through until Wednesday is the perfect time to review your friendships. Some require extra nurturing – while others have passed their used-by date, and need to be replaced with new pals who are creative, positive and proactive. Thursday onwards is the time to fraternise with friends who are going places. As self-help guru Anthony Robbins wrote, “People’s lives are a direct reflection on the expectations of their peer group.”
GEMINI
MAY 22 TO JUNE 21
Things have been moving at a snail’s pace over the last three weeks but that’s about to change, as Mercury moves forwards. So make sure you are prepared to pounce when circumstances alter from Thursday onwards. Activities involving communication, cars, computers and travel should all improve as you gradually get your Gemini mojo back in spades! Use the weekend to get a jump start, as you plan the following week well in advance. The early bird catches the worm!

On Monday, home and work are linked in extra enjoyable ways. Mercury finally moves forwards on Thursday, so all forms of communication should gradually improve. You’ll find the more honest and open you are with family members, the better the weekend will be. Plus, with Jupiter journeying through your home zone, there is much love and happiness to be gained from improved relations with your extended family over the year.
LEO
JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
It’s a wonderful week to connect with family and friends from far and wide as you talk, text, tweet, publish or post up a storm. Others are expecting you to come up with some clever ideas and smart solutions, so put on your thinking cap Cats. And don’t stick with outdated ways of doing things. Be proactive about initiating exciting and adventurous new plans. You’ll also feel restless so travel is likely on the weekend – anything from a leisurely day trip to an interstate sojourn.
VIRGO
AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
The last three weeks have been particularly tricky for Virgos as Mercury (your power planet) has been reversing through your sign (a real double-whammy). Thank goodness Mercury moves forwards this week so – from Thursday onwards – things should start to run more smoothly. Particularly in the areas of your life involving cars, computers, communication and travel. Friday is a fantastic day to initiate a project, update your appearance or focus on a favourite hobby.
LIBRA
SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
Brains and beauty are a winning combination this week as you come up with a clever idea, pamper yourself in style, beautify your living space or patch up a disagreement with a family member. Whereas the weekend is a wonderful time to boost your self-esteem, tap into your latent talents and believe in yourself – even when the going gets tough! Motto for the week is from Christopher Reeve (who was a real-life Superman), “Don’t give up. Don’t lose hope. Don’t sell out.”
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
From Monday through until Thursday, resist the temptation to retreat inwards in order to cover up your emotional insecurities. Clear and honest communication will get you a lot further than sulky Scorpio behaviour! And are you overdue for some creature comforts and a touch of luxe? From Friday onwards, Venus invites you to boost your spirits with a special restaurant meal or some indulgent body pampering.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
When it comes to a complicated career issue, it’s been one step forwards and two steps back. Get ready to take a giant leap forwards from Thursday onwards, when Mercury starts moving things in a positive new direction. So don’t waste precious time procrastinating! Strive to be upfront with work colleagues, clients or customers, and keep them up-to-date with your current plans. The more creative and proactive your approach with loved ones, the better it will be.

LIFE & STYLE
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
There is the tendency to become obsessed about an idea (or person) this week, as you focus with concentrated Capricorn tunnel-vision. You’re putting in 100 per cent effort but don’t be disappointed if the results aren’t perfect. You’ll learn more from perceived ‘failures’ than you will from successes. Draw inspiration from film star Sophia Loren, “It’s better to explore and make mistakes than to play it safe. Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.”
AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
Monday is terrific for nifty networking, group projects and community connections. But, over the last three weeks, joint finances have been stretched, close relationships tested or loyalties questioned. Fortunately that’s all about to change, as Mercury moves forwards again. So from Thursday onwards it’s time to let go of grudges and forgive indiscretions of the financial or romantic kind as you get up-close-and-personal with loved ones in increasingly pleasant ways.

DAVID ELLIS
hen Peter Rymill, fourth generation descendant of founder of Coonawarra wine region, John Riddoch, decided that he wanted to build his own winery to make wine from the grapes he was already growing on his own Coonawarra vineyard, he set himself a strange goal. Also undertaking a professional course in winemaking, he said he would not build that winery until he had proven his skills by winning a gold medal at a wine show – and then went on to do more than that by taking out a trophy at the 1987 Australian Small Winemakers Show. And yes, then building his Rymill Coonawarra Winery. Today Peter has retired and his son, John, who is the great, great grandson of old John Riddoch who began it all at Coonawarra in 1890, is managing director of Rymill Coonawarra. Amongst the many labels John oversees is The Yearlings, a range that seriously over-delivers in flavour and value at just $15. One to note: Victoria’s Toolangi Vineyards are interesting in that, as well as having their own vineyards, they also source additional fruit when they find exceptional quality available from other growers. They then contract to have it made by local makers they consider the very best at handling specific varietals. Their just-released 2014 Yarra Valley Pinot Noir (pictured) reflects the benefits of this philosophy: Fruit was 100 per cent off their own Dixons Creek vineyard that had enjoyed almost perfect growing conditions. It’s great value at $28.

THE MOWER & HEATING CENTER
eonay’s Jessica Fox has capped off the 2016 canoe slalom season in style, with victory in the K1 at the final ICF World Cup in Tacen, Slovenia. One day after the dual Olympic medallist finished with silver in the C1, Fox stunned a redhot field to post a comprehensive victory in the year’s final World Cup event. Fox finished in 77.55 seconds, which was 2.28 seconds ahead of Austria’s Corinna Kuhnle, with Great Britain’s Fiona Pennie a further 0.13 seconds behind in third. Speaking after the race, the 22-year-old was over the moon with the result. “I’m really, really happy with that race,” the former Blaxland High School student said. Victory in the K1 would’ve tasted sweet for Fox after failing to reach the final during last week’s World Cup in Prague. She did, however, win Bronze in the same event last month in Rio. After one of her biggest seasons to date, Fox said she’s looking forward to unwinding with her French boyfriend and fellow paddler Mathieu Biazizzo before heading back home. “We’ll spend some time with family and then get back home to Australia,” she said.
