troy.dodds@innercityweekender.com.au

’ll just come straight out and say it: I don’t have a problem with Schapelle Corby getting paid to tell her story to a television network. That’s right – I’m happy for Channel Seven to get out the cheque book, write a big number on it and hand it to a convicted drug smuggler. And yes, it is lonely over here on this side of the argument. I completely understand why most people are against the reported $2 million deal between Corby, who was released from prison this week, and Channel Seven. I also admire ‘Sunrise’ presenter David Koch for openly saying he believes Seven shouldn’t be handing over the cash. I should say too that there is no way the deal is at the $2 million mark – not unlike figures tossed around when sports stars switch codes or clubs, that figure would be grossly inflated. My position certainly puts me at odds with Proceeds of Crime laws, which I believe are somewhat of a farce anyway, because media organisations can always fi nd a way around them. My view on this doesn’t necessarily mean I think Schapelle Corby is innocent, nor does it downplay the seriousness of her crime. I am robustly against drugs, and my gut feeling tells me that whilst she may not have been the sole guilty party in all of this, she did know something about those infamous drugs and how they got there. But none of us really know the truth. We can speculate, guess and pretend we’re informed all we like – the reality is that this is a particularly odd case with plenty of unanswered questions. And despite the number of people this week taking the high road and pretending they couldn’t

It punishes people who have already been punished

care less about the Corby case, the truth is that there is immense public interest here. As a result, plenty of people have and will make money out of Schapelle Corby. Over the years, newspapers and magazines have sold plenty of extra copies thanks to the Schapelle Corby story. TV stations have made money too thanks to high ratings and hence, bigger advertising dollars. A freelance photographer apparently made $20,000 this week selling a photo of Schapelle Corby to Woman’s Day. Whether that’s true or not, who knows, but there would be plenty of stories like it. The telemovie shown by Channel Nine last Sunday depicting Corby’s ordeal, while not attracting the ratings the network would have hoped for, still grabbed over a million viewers and would have had some significant advertising revenue attached. My point here is that if everyone else is going to make money off Schapelle Corby’s story, why shouldn’t she? Yes, yes, I know she was convicted of a serious crime, but it’s not like I’m suggesting she should get the drugs back. I’m simply saying that if there is public interest in her story, and if a television station is willing to hand over cash to her for that story, then so be it. As long as it’s not the national broadcaster using our money, allow it and move on. Watch it or don’t watch it, your choice. The Proceeds of Crime Act punishes people who’ve already been punished. And it potentially stops interviews that could be liberating, informative and educational.

weekendergiveaway THE PINNACLE OF FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT has arrived with the Loritz Circus coming to Earlwood this month. The African circus certainly begins with a difference. It’s dawn and the sounds of the Jungle awaken the African people. The Royal Kenyan acrobats leap into the stage in a frantic and powerful performance, somersaulting into the air, getting faster, louder and crazier, as the stage becomes awash with performers each outdoing their own stunts. Suddenly they hear the sound of the much feared Bongo Bongo, the Giant Gorilla and in all their bravery disappears as they vanish into the Jungle.

Over-riding on buses and the misuse of concession tickets is a major form of fare evasion that the Government has targeted by deploying 150 transit officers to check tickets and replacing old ticket gates at railway stations so that they cannot be pushed open by fare evaders. Turning off concession sales at ticket machines at selected stations has ensured customers need to show proof of entitlement – since this initiative was introduced concession sales dropped 10 per cent and full price tickets increased by the same amount, meaning four million extra full price tickets will be purchased in 2014.

The State Opposition Leader, John Robertson, has slammed the O’Farrell Government for not doing more to encourage first home buyers into the property market. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics figures released this week, just 13,023 first home buyers received loan finance approval during the 2013 calendar year. This represents the lowest recorded annual figure for first home buyers in more than two decades. It is a massive drop-off from the 22,350 first home buyers who received approval in 2012 and the 30,422 first home buyers who received it in 2011. “It’s official – Barry O’Farrell’s poli-

Police snapshot Police looking for witnesses to suspicious car fire

Petersham business robbed and staff hit in face

Police from Sydney City Local Area Command are investigating the circumstances surrounding a car fire in the city on Monday night. Emergency services were called to Bridge Lane, near the intersection Bridge Street, about 7.50pm, following reports of a car fire. On arrival officers located a light green Mazda 2 hatchback well alight. NSW Fire and Rescue crews extinguished the fire and police are now treating the matter as suspicious. Officers would like to speak with anyone who may have been in the vicinity of Bridge Lane, about that time, and may have seen anyone acting suspiciously, to come forward and speak with police.

An investigation is underway into the robbery of a business at Petersham on Wednesday morning. Police were told three men threatened staff at a massage parlour on New Canterbury Road about 12.30am. A staff member was hit in the face before the men took handbags, mobile phones and cash before leaving the building. No weapons were seen by staff. Police from Marrickville attended and established a crime scene. They are now looking for three men they believe can assist with inquiries. Two of the men are described as being of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern appearance. There are no details yet of the appearance of the third man.

Motorcyclist crashes after changing lanes

Police search for offender who stole tools

Around 3.20pm last Saturday, a motorcycle rider was travelling northwest along Sydenham Road towards the intersection of Centennial Street, Marrickville. The motorcycle rider changed lanes in order to pass a stationary car. After passing the car the rider lost control of his motorcycle. The bike slid out from underneath him and the rider fell to the ground and slid approximately 10 metres before stopping in the gutter on Sydenham Road. The motorcycle continued sliding along Sydenham Road for approximately 30 metres before making contact with another moving vehicle. The motorcycle rider sustained grazing to his right side.

Between 6.45pm last Friday, February 7, and 6.30am the following morning, on February 8, offender(s) have gained access into a building site within Arlington Reserve in Dulwich Hill. Access was gained by the offenders via an unhinged gate at the Laxton Reserve entrance. The offenders also gained entry into the site office. A number of tools and office equipment were stolen from within the building site. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Marrickville Local Area Command on 9568 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

FITEC FITNESS CHAMPION

life & style

Brought to you by

LAUREN LONG Fitec is the Fitness Industry Training & Education Centre. It’s where the trainers get their training! As part of raising awareness and promoting it in our community, we present the Fitec Fitness Champion! Each week we will interview someone who has successfully made health and fitness an integral part of their life...

Why not be the best you can be?

What do y ou find to be the bigg est health/ fitness misconception? I hear this one a lot when suggesting weight training to women, “I don’t want to bulk up”. You can’t and you won’t but what you will get is stron ger, y our bone densi ty w ill inc rease and you will burn fat.

Lauren, how did you get into training? My journey into fitness started 10 years ago shortly after the birth of my first child. Becoming a mum was a real eye opener and at times quite physically and mentally challenging. About six months in and “me” time had become a thing of the past. I w as r eally f eeling t he p ressure. I t was around this time I decided to do something for myself so I joined a local women’s gym. I thought going to the gym would give me stress relief but i t gave me so much more. Confidence, happiness and as a bonus a health y body. Now here I am toda y as a fi tness instr uctor and nutri tion coach teaching other w omen the importance of lookin g after their health and making time for themselves.

What do y ou consider the bigg est benefit of being fit and healthy? There are so man y health benefi ts all of which spill into all areas of life. F or me being healthy mak es me happ y and an y stresses that arise seem so much easier to deal with. What type of activity/exercise do you enjoy the most? I really lo ve lifting weights, boot c amp and yoga, balanc ing my training gives me bet ter results, whatever my goal may be.

Top three tips for good health? 1. Nutri tion: be mindful of wha t y ou put in y our body, if you eat bad you will feel bad. It really is as simple as tha t. Eliminate processed foods, they are useless. Try organic, if not only for the nutrients but for the taste, it may keep you coming back for more. 2. Mak e time for y ourself: don ’t wai t for f ree time, i t w ill never come. There is nothin g more importan t than y our health so stop makin g e xcuses, bec ause w ithout i t y ou don’t have much. If y ou don’t make time for y our health then you will have to make time to be sick. 3. Listen to y our body : y our body w ill alwa ys sho w y ou through ei ther illness, tiredness or injur y when y ou are not trea ting i t righ t so pa y a ttention. B eing constan tly tired and sick isn ’t normal, mak e changes as soon as y ou get that sign, your body is begging you too.

How do you stay motivated when it’s so easy to just take it easy? I always have a goal to work towards. Sometimes small g oals, other times m y g oals are big. I also remind myself of how good it feels at the end of the day after nutritious food and exercise. Being fit helps me keep up with my two kids as w ell and I lo ve the inf luence my health has on them. Anything else you want to say? Exercise doesn ’t ha ve to o vertake y our life but i t does need to be a part of y our life. Plan out a g ood balance tha t works for y ou, include the family , f riends or the dog and don’t u nderestimate i ncidental e xercise, every little bit counts, no ma tter what some people might say. So why not be the best y ou can be… really why not?

In your experience as a personal trainer and a mum, wha t is a daily ‘must do’? Prepare your food for the day and have it ready to go. Doing this helps prev ent bad food dec isions from happening especially when life gets stressful.

Welcome to Planet P isces! With the Sun mo ving into your sign, there are no excuses for not putting your dreams into action. The only person stopping you from achieving your heart’s desire is you. Be inspired b y Michael J ordan: “ Some people wan t i t to happen, some people wish it could happen, others make it happen”.

ARIES MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

Rams c an be selfish but i t’s not all about y ou this w eek! W ith Mars marching through your ‘helping others’ zone, concentrate on the needs of those around you. When it comes to a problematic partnership, the more proactive you are about finding a solution, the better. It’s also a wonderful week to step out of the spotlight and get involved with projects from behind-the-scenes.

Avoid jumping to conclusions this w eek C ats! What others sa y won’t necessarily be wha t they mean so don ’t tak e thin gs too literally. And don’t blur the lines betw een fact and fic tion – espec ially when it comes to ma tters of the heart. If y ou are having serious problems with your partner, don’t give up too quickly.

Star predictions for the week beginning Feb 16

VIRGO AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23

Choose your companions wisely. True friends will bring love and lucky opportunities into your life, whereas fair- weather friends will lead y ou up the primrose pa th to trouble. Mid- week’s not an opportune time for important meetings, delicate negotiations or business transactions, as you’re inclined to communicate poorly.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

With V enus ( your r uling planet) v isiting y our domestic zone, home is definitely where the heart is this week Libra. So, whether you are building, renovating, redecorating, cleaning, gardening, entertaining or just preoccupied with a handful of kids, you’ll be happy to hunker down at home. “He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home,” says Goethe.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

Slow and steady w ins the race this w eek, espec ially when i t comes to w ork and rela tionships. L oved ones and colleagues won’t take kindly to criticism, no matter how constructive it is. So keep your opinions to yourself, and don’t offer advice when it’s not wanted! Single Bulls, look for lasting love with someone who is stable.

Sexy? Sultr y? S eductive? Y ou’re a S corpio, so tick all of the above. But this week, add secretive to the list. You’re keen to do your own thing, without the interference of others. You’re more sociable on F riday, when posi tive Moon/Pluto aspects boost y our ability to win friends and influence people.

GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

You’re in the mood for love and lust, as Venus and Pluto heat up your sensuality zone. If y ou are attached, it’s time to spice up the relationship with a sexy SMS or an erotic email. Sin gle Twins – Cupid has his arrows pointed in your direction but, with your ruler Mercury reversing until March 1 expect a few detours before true love comes.

The gods are temporarily smiling on your finances, as lucky Venus visits your money zone. So it’s a great time to look for work, enter a competition, sign up a new client or finalise a big sale. The stars encourage you to come up with creative new ways to make money. Increasing your cash flow is the key to financial success.

CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

It’s all about lo ve this w eek. If y ou are a ttached, do somethin g wildly romantic with your spouse. Still sin gle? Make a w ish list of all the a ttributes you prefer in a partner and burn i t. Be inspired by Anais Nin: “ Throw your dreams in to space lik e a ki te, and y ou don’t know what it will bring back; a new life, a new friend, a new love”.

This was un til I discovered the wonders of exfoliation. The idea of scratching dead layers of skin off my body was honestly something that really disgusted me so I never thought to give it a try. My regular readers w ould know of my fondness for self tannin g products and, checking out m y collec tion I realised tha t most recommend e xfoliation before use. Over the past few weeks I have been experimenting with a number of different exfoliation products, including gloves and washes for both the face and the body – I am a changed woman. I started off with exfoliation gloves. Now, I am sure that the expensive ones are very good but I bought a cheapie from Kmart to ease myself into it.

The lack of subtlety my dogs demonstrate when slithering in between me and another dog that I’m petting always gives me a chuckle. These areas will certainly improve your pet’s living.

Scientists in the US have found a striking association between the proportion of daily calories supplied by something that I’ll bet you’re eating and heart disease death rates. Even the W orld H ealth Or ganisation has issued guidelines that this product should make up less than 10 per cent of total calorie in take, people obtainin g ev en just a quarter of their calories f rom this in gredient tripled their risk of lethal heart disease. So what is this ingredient? It’s the very same one most of the companies put in to their products when they reduce the fat content: sugar. In the growing list of evidence that healthy fats aren’t as bad for y ou as all the companies sellin g lo w fa t produc ts migh t have you believe, a new study , led b y Dr Quanhe Y ang, from the Cen tres for Disease Con trol and P revention in A tlanta, used US national health survey data to determine how much added sugar people were consuming. Consuming too many sugary sweets, desserts and drinks can triple your chances of dy ing f rom heart disease. One sugarsweetened bev erage a da y is enough to inc rease the risk of dying from c ardiovascular disease (CVD), affec ting the heart and arteries. The researchers specifically focused on added sugar in the diet, sugar added in the processing or preparing of food, rather than natural sources. Writing in the journal JAMA Internal Medicine, the authors concluded from their study : “A higher percen tage of c alories from ad ded sugar is assoc iated w ith signific antly inc reased risk of CVD mortality”. So maybe all these people who swapped their bacon and eggs for a bo wl of ‘Ironman food ’ (insert manly sc ream and picture of fit athlete powering through surf here) were actually not helpin g their heart or an y other of their or gans after all, since we know sugar is related to diabetes and many other diseases as well.

Idol fave reinvents himself and his music

ore than a dec ade after he first graced sc reens on ‘ Australian I dol’ Shannon Noll is getting ready t o d ebut a n ew, fresh sound on his upcoming sixth album. The singer, who rose to fame as r unner SHANNON COCHRANE

up on the first ev er season of ‘ Australian Idol’ in 2003, is c urrently on his six - date Invincible tour , and w ill perform a t The Basement in S ydney on F riday, February 21 and Saturday, February 22. With Noll w orking har d in prepara tion for a new album release, the tour dates are unusually spread out to accommodate the star’s other commitments. “We’ve g ot an absolute moun tain of work to get through with film clips, photo shoots, just finishin g off the recor ding process, produc tion, post produc tion all that sort of thin g… w e coul dn’t do too many more shows in that time I think due to all the other work we’ve got,” he said. Fans of Noll c an e xpect his sho w to feature a mix of ol d hi ts and a sneak peak of three new son gs he is plannin g to release as singles from his upcoming album. “We’re basic ally road testin g three new songs at every show so that’s really exciting to see wha t we get back from the fans on them,” he said. “The lead sin gle espec ially is v ery

Noll is famous for his rock - pop anthems and ev en had the honour of bein g the only A ustralian male to achieve 10 consecutive top 10 singles, but despite his success, the music ian is planning to revamp his sound. “I look at bands like Maroon 5 and

also Train and look ed a t ho w they ’ve come back w ith a completely differen t sound than they started w ith and i t’s worked really w ell for them, so I think it’s all about just ev olving with the times and the c urrent trends and the pace of the p unters o ut t here… y ou’ve g ot t o b e conscious of that otherwise you’ve sort of missed the boat,” Noll said. While Noll ma y ha ve had a quick rise to fame under the brigh t ligh ts of the ‘Australian Idol’ stage, he was no stran ger to the music industr y after formin g h is passion for sin ging durin g his y outh in rural New South Wales. “My dad had a family band and m y brothers had a band tha t they w ere both in when I was about 12. I’d go watch them rehearse and ev en help them load in to gigs and tha t sort of stuff just loc ally, so I think that’s what sparked my interest in it,” he said. “And then I started singing and playing a bit with them on occasion and it only grew from there.” Unlike other e x- Idol con testants, Noll has no regrets about his appearance on the television show and believ es he probably wouldn’t have found success without it. “There’s a fair chance I wouldn’t be here today w ithout ‘ Australian I dol’, i t was a terrific experience and a marvellous opportunity,” he said. “I think most of the people y ou hear whinge about reali ty TV sho ws are the ones tha t ha ve disappeared after i t, so they missed the boat.”

SHANNON COCHRANE

illed w ith in trigue, m ystery and romance, Sophia Tobin’s novel The Sil versmith’s W ife is a vividly written historical fiction. The book is set in 1792 in B erkeley Square, which is guar ded faithfully by a night watchman who keeps his eye over the streets as the city sleeps. The to wnspeople’s seemin gly quiet lives become a lot messier when the night- watchman disco vers the body of Pierre Renard, a well known silversmith who has died f rom having his throat cut and is missing his valuables. While the case initially seems to be a tragic y et simple theft g one wron g, the town gossip mill quickly establishes that Renard has plen ty of enemies and was involved with some very dark people. When he died, R enard left behind his w ife Mar y, w ith whom he publicly flaunted a happy marriage with, and the pair seemed to be an excellent match. Despite the façade though, behind closed doors the couple ’s life was more problematic and their rela tionship was dark and often sadistic. The afterma th of her marriag e and husband’s recen t dea th ha ve left Mar y weak, w ithdrawn and psy chologically

haunted by her past. As she struggles with the town’s gossip over the mysterious death, and with her own secrets and issues, Mary has to find redemption and disco ver a wa y to be a t peace with her life again. With a rich, intricate plotline and beautiful wri ting, The Sil versmith’s W ife is a dark mystery with shades of romance. It has also done w ell c ritically, and was shortlisted for the Luc y C avendish College Fiction Prize. The novel was written by Sophia Tobin, who has e xperience as a silv ersmith herself and used to w ork for a B ond Street antique dealer, specialising in silver and jewellery. Tobin w rote t he n ovel a fter b eing inspired by research she undertook in to a real life silv ersmith who li ved in the eighteenth century. She now works as a library secretary for Goldsmith’s in the UK, and The Silversmith’s Wife is her first novel. Critics have loved the book. “It is a self-assured, page-turning debut which leaves you guessing until the last – a great read,” said The Daily Mail. And the BBC said: “ A sophistic ated study of charac ter as much as a c rime thriller, it pulls readers into its vivid re-creation of G eorgian London and the complex skein of ev ents that surrounds the murder”.

INXS: Never Tear Us Apart Channel 7 February 16th

INXS shows they still have the fans Well, it was the battle of all battles last Sunday when the INXS mini-series ‘Never Tear Us Apart’ and the ‘Schapelle’ telemovie went head-to-head in the first official ratings day. INXS won the night with 1.9 million viewers as opposed to Schapelle’s 1.02 million. I personally enjoyed both offerings but must admit INXS gave me more. Part two of INXS airs this Sunday.

Channel Nine comedy-drama ‘House Husbands’ has been given a huge boost ahead of its third series with big-time Aussie actress Rachel Griffiths joining the cast. Since wrapping up her long stints on American shows like ‘Six Feet Under’ and ‘Brothers and Sisters’, Griffiths has been actively involved in Australian drama of late, which is great to see.

After a few months off, ‘Bondi Vet’ is returning to Ten from this Saturday, February 15 at 7.30pm. Now in its sixth year, Dr Chris Brown will work his magic on sick and injured pets… how adorable! I still prefer ‘Harry’s Practice’ to tell you the truth but Dr Chris has his charm.

One of the most annoying people in Australia, Ryan ‘Fitzy’ Fitzgerald, will host FOX8’s new AFL reality series ‘The Recruit’. The Nova 96.9 personality will front the 10-part series which will provide a player with a guaranteed spot on an AFL team at the end.

After being Mr Everywhere for as long as anyone can remember, we now live in a world with Grant Denyer off our screens. After dropping out of game show ‘Million Dollar Minute’ late last year comes the news Denyer’s other project ‘Slide Show’ got this axe this week.

Channel Nine has announced its highly anticipated drama ‘Love Child’ will go head-to-head with Seven’s ‘Revenge’ from this Monday, February 17 at 8.40pm. Nine offered the first four episodes of ‘Love Child’ to 10,000 people on their Jump-in app this week.
