We've learned nothing from Anna Wood's tragic 1995 drug death

n 1995, there was perhaps no bigg er news story than the dea th of S ydney school girl Anna Wood. The 15-year-old collapsed into a coma after taking an ecstasy tablet at a dance rave and later died. Like it or not, the stor y gained ev en more prominence because Anna Wood was a normal, middle class ev eryday girl living on S ydney’s north shore. In other w ords, she didn ’t fit the dr ug stereo type we’d all become used to. Not surprisin gly, the dea th of Anna W ood sparked huge community concern about the use of drugs such as ecstasy, and it was the first time that paren ts probably legi timately questioned their otherwise good natured kids about the taboo subject of ‘recreational’ drugs. The media a ttention a t the time spark ed numerous responses, includin g a c all f rom NS W Premier B ob C arr to shut do wn the club Anna Wood had attended that night. The Coroner suggested better drug education information. As someone who was around Anna Wood’s age at the time, I remember clearly the sur ge in talk about drugs and their dan gers through the media, school and my general social circle. Fast forward 13 years, and what have we really learned about the issue? Last w eekend a t the D efqon.1 music festi val in grea ter w estern S ydney, 23- yearold J ames

TROY DODDS @troydodds

It could happen to your son or daughter

Munro died after reportedly taking three ecstasy tablets. Many others a t the ev ent suffered dr ug overdoses, and there was 84 people arrested for drug-related offences. Music festi vals lik e this one really need to be looked at in terms of the very serious drugs issue that often dominates them. I think there is a wider issue that needs to be addressed and that is the education that surrounds illegal drug use. I’m not quite sure that the real long-term message from young Anna Wood’s death in 1995 has ever really been deli vered in the wa y i t should have been. It seems that we as a society moved on not only from the death of a teenage girl with her entire life still in front of her, but from the wider drugs issue entirely. The death of J ames Munro is dismissed b y so many as just another ‘druggo’ who finally met his match, particularly on social media. And I understand the argument that it is difficult to have sympathy for somebody who knowingly takes drugs. But what we were supposed to learn from Anna Wood’s death in 1995 was that it could happen to your son or your daughter at any time – no matter how responsible you think they are. Instead I think we’ve put drug deaths into a category that none of us want to think or care about.

Online auction websites warning

Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner. Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to. Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling. If you have any other questions, or to ﬁnd your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.

Ambulance NSW issues warning about injuries caused by aggressive magpies It is magpie breeding season, which means pedestrians and cyclists should take care BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

eptember is the mon th when the warmer weather comes in to play, but it’s also magpie breedin g season. Magpies are usually friendly, but in September they are known to become protective of their nests durin g breeding, which means they a ttack pedestrians and c yclists. Their hostility is usually over by the end of the month. NSW Ambulance Inspector Norm Spalding said injuries people can sustain from a magpie attack are extensive. From cuts to the head and pecks to the ears, to more serious outcomes, pedestrians and cyclists are warned to take heed. “Every year NSW Ambulance receives calls for people sufferin g injuries f rom swooping birds and i t c an be v ery upsetting, especially for children,” Inspector

Magpies will be swooping over the coming weeks. Photo: Melinda Jane Spalding said. Cyclists are more a t risk from losing balance whilst being attacked, which c an result in open w ounds and broken noses as a consequence of crashing. If riding a bike through a magpie nesting area, people are encourag ed to con tinue to ride if they are attacked.

However the better option is to get off the bike and walk the bik e through. M ost magpies will only swoop within 50 metres of their nest. Inspector Sp alding said if peopl e w ere attacked they shoul d remain c alm ev en if the urge is to panic. Panickin g will only provoke the birds further.

Inspector Spalding said if bleedin g occurs f rom an open w ound the v ictim should apply pressure on the area and keep it clean. A doc tor should be consulted who may recommend a tetanus shot. He said if the injur y is more serious, Triple 000 should be called immediately and an ambulance asked for. Tips for surviving magpie swooping season include: • Travel in groups where possible. Swooping birds will generally only target individuals. • Wear sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat for protection. • Try to k eep a wa tch on the magpie. Magpies usually sw oop f rom behind and it is known that magpies are much less likely to swoop if they’re being watched directly. • Do not return after bein g a ttacked, Magpies w ill a ttack the same people again and again. It is also v ery important that if you have young chil dren pla ying outside where a magpie may have nested that they are appropriately supervised. If a resident feels that a magpie is a menace they c an con tact the NS W Na tional Parks and Wildlife Service on 1300 361 967 and report it.

New energy efficient lights save more than just energy for Marrickville PCYC Energy bill is set to be reduced by up to 70 per cent thanks to new lights

nergy efficient lighting has been installed at the Marrickville PCYC that w ill sa ve the y outh cen tre thousands of dollars on their electricity bills thanks to a program designed to reduce energy costs. The initiative called The Community Energy Efficiency Program (CEEP) provided $112 million in grants to 170 local government and non- profi t community groups, which will transform their existing energy practices in to more cost and ener gy efficient practices. The lights in the main hall at Marrickville PCYC have been overhauled. Previously the lights took around 10 minutes to fully illuminate. Now the lights power on at the flick of a switch. The benefits of the new ener gy efficient lights are pleasing in more wa ys than one according to Marrickv ille P CYC Manag er Justin Mining. “When we look a t the ener gy efficiency these lights will bring, they are enormous. It delivers a ran ge of en vironmental benefits including a 6 5-70 per cen t reduction in energy costs for Marrickville PCYC,” Mr Mining said. The cost sa vings, e xpected to be in the thousands, will go towards other areas of need for the club. “We c an spend the money tha t w e are saving on other programs for y oung people in our community,” he said.

Marrickville PCYC has recently installed new energy saving lights. At the time of the installation of the new lights, about three w eeks ag o, the club also received a new energy consumption monitoring device called a Smart meter. “The amazing thing about this apparatus

During the next fortnight you are going to have to put some serious though t in to your finances. You need to be pr epared for unexpected expenses; also it is important to double check all financ ial statements. Have a conversation with your partner involving your possessions and earnings.

PISCES FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

You have to admit Pisces, you are not always the easiest person to deal w ith and righ t now you are determined to impose y our ideas and thoughts on other people c reating a stir both at home and at work, resulting in y ou being told that you are stubborn, short sigh ted and simply making trouble.

ARIES MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

The next fortnight is likely to be a highly vulnerable time for you and you need to be careful of being your own worst enemy. You will be feeling highly vulnerable especially at work and will need to be careful of confusion, deceit and uncertainty. Don’t buy into gossip and don’t allow your emotions to control you. Before you jump to conclusions be certain that you have your facts right.

TAURUS APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

Your home and family ma y begin to resemble a nest of eg o maniacs and it will be necessary for you to take a cold but practical approach to certain decisions. Which will mean confronting faults and difficult truths in yourself as w ell as others. This ma y bring you some moments of anxiety but you will flourish.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

Destiny or fate, whatever you like to call it, seems to have been sufficiently unkind lately to leave you wondering if you are the target of a campaign of dirty tricks. But set aside such worries or suspicions as that imagination of yours is running away with you. Events will unfold into something remarkable, so all you basically need is some of that splendid patience and determination.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

Misunderstandings are likely in relationships over the next two weeks and if they are not handled w ith diplomacy breakups are likely. By considerin g your lover’s thoughts and ideas ra ther than just trying to bulldoze them into compliance you can sidestep most issues. Children are likely to be a cause of concern.

Problems and difficulties are likely regarding certain friendships as some of the people in y our li fe are g oing to be ev en more grumpy, stressed out and self absorbed than is usually the c ase. However, it is not up to y ou to resolv e other peop le’s problems for th em, therefore don’t allow yourself to become overly involved.

GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

When i t comes to family and property ma tters there w ill be a good deal of confusion and mud dle. It’s important to bear this in mind, particularly if you’re buying a home or renovating. Make sure that you aren’t totally r uled by your heart or y ou could make a major mistake. Listen to your common sense.

There could be some almigh ty blunders on the w ork front and it will certainly pay to double check everything you are working on so that if this should occur it will be the fault of other people ra ther than your good self. In fact certain workmates, contacts and colleagues could be disgruntled and uncooperative.

FASHION

Tips for the racing season KATHERINE TWEED katherine.tweed@ innercityweekender. com.au

Alongside catching up w ith friends, having a few drinks and betting on the horses, fashion is the most important and most talk ed about aspec t of the Sprin g C arnival season. L ast w eekend I was in vited to celebra te a f riend’s birthday at Rosehill Gardens for the ‘ Golden Rose’ to kick off the spring racing season. The superb weather and electric atmosphere were a recipe for an awesome day, and it was just that. When y ou took a look around the sea of colour , there were men in suits wearing ties in every colour possible and there were women in the most lovely summer dresses. I chose to go for a simple outfit – a black top and a green, pink, blue and yellow floral skirt with my favourite strappy black heels and a modera tely sized feathered flower fascinator, also in black, but I’ll admi t picking my outfit wasn’t an easy choice. Going to an ev ent w ith such a lar ge foc us on fashion means that planning an outfit can be a little stressful; but if you have a basic knowledge of the spring racing trends and what not to do, getting ready can be simple. When planning for a trip to the races, the most important guideline to remember is tha t the ev ent is based around class – the races are e xpensive, classy days out so it is important to dress to the occasion. Women shoul d alwa ys dress modestly, keeping the dress or skirt close to the knee and covering up any cleavage, and men should wear dress-shoes and a tie with nice pants, a belt and sui t jacket, if the weather is cool. This season, the up-do is the g o-to hairstyle for women and teamed with a brightly coloured fascinator, you can’t go wrong. Wearing a big fasc inator can be pretty daunting, especially if y ou haven’t been to the races before so, if you aren’t keen on going all-out a small flower or feathered piece in your hair will work a treat.

HEALTHY LIFE

is but a number, and those expensive creams may not be the answer you think they are

The truth about anti-ageing Before y ou g o out and spend a lot of money on the la test ‘age defying’ cosmetics, try something that might have a real effect. A r esearch t eam f rom t he U niversity of California says it has found the first evidence tha t a stric t regime of e xercise, diet and meditation can have such ELISHA an effect on ageing. STEIN Going on a health kick reverses ageing at the cellular lev el they believ e. The Registered nurse and midwife study l ooked a t 3 5 m en w ith p rostate cancer. The researchers sa w v isible cellular changes in the group of 10 men who switched to a healthy diet and stuck to a recommended timetable of exercise and stressbusting meditation and yoga. The changes on a cellular level related to protective caps at the end of our chromosomes, called telomeres. Their role is to safeguard the end of the chromosome and to prevent the loss of genetic information during cell division. As we age and our cells di vide, our telomeres g et shorter – their structural integrity weakens, which can tell cells to stop dividing and die. The la test w ork b y P rofessor D ean Ornish and colleagues suggests telomeres can be lengthened, given the right encouragement. They measured telomere length at the beginning of their study and again after five years. Among the 10 men with low-risk prostate cancer who made comprehensive lifestyle chan ges, telomere len gth inc reased significantly by an average of 10 per cen t. In comparison, telomere length decreased by an average of three per cent in the remaining 25 men who were not asked to make any lifestyle changes. Good news for those people that know real ‘anti-ageing’ isn’t found in a skincare bottle and sold in bulk from the local corner supermarket.

Some people think of the sporty kid at school as not being overly bright, or ma ybe you have heard a sa ying ‘can’t have the body and the brains’ or somethin g similar. But maybe it’s the people that think that way that are the silly ones. In just one recent study of many that have tied physical performance to mental performance, 48 children aged nine to 10 were asked to memorise names and loc ations on a fic titious map, either only by studying the information or being tested on the material as they studied. Half the chil dren w ere in the top 30 per cent of their ag e group on a test measuring aerobic fitness, while the other half scored in the lo west 30 per cen t. When asked to recollect the information studied, chil dren who w ere fi tter consisten tly performed better than those who were not as fit. The difference betw een the high- fi tness and lo w- fitness groups was also stron ger when the ini tial learnin g was performed by studying alone than when testing and study were combined. P revious studies ha ve sugg ested tha t combinin g testing and study improves later recall in children, and is less challenging than studying alone. Based on these results, the study authors suggest that fitness levels may influence learning increases even when the study method used is more challenging, and tha t higher lev els of aerobic fi tness c an benefit learning and memory in school-age children. Keeping your kids on the books all the time at the expense of a good play outside may be doing more harm than good. In addition, the study suggests these findings may be important f rom an educ ational polic y perspec tive. As the authors state, “Reducing or eliminating physical education in schools, as is often done in tigh t financial times, ma y not be the best way to ensure educational success.” Hopefully our new g overnment thinks i t’s w orth k eeping our kids’ fundin g for their health bec ause i t w ill help them get smarter. Also look around for activities like little athletics, team sports and all sorts of ways to get the kids up and active and know they can have the body and the brains!

Jon English takes to the stage in new tour

Friday 20 September 2013 the inner city weekender

SHANNON COCHRANE

ost music lo vers c an fondly re call t he f irst real concert they ev er went to, and veteran performer Jon English is

no exception. In his case, the day that the then 15-yearold sa w The B eatles perform li ve wasn ’t just special – i t was life- changing, propelling him on to a c areer pa th tha t w ould make him a household name. “I think when m y sister took me to see The B eatles a t R ushcutters B ay Stadium in Sydney in 1964, that was when I sort of went ‘wow, this is great’ and more to the point it was when I thought, ‘Jesus, maybe

I could do this, make a living out of it’. So that was probably the ultima te moment,” English said. The Bri tish- born music ian mo ved to Australia when he was 12- years- old, and said tha t he began pla ying music in his teens, partly because it was a good way to pass the time. “We w ere f rom the w estern suburbs of Sydney and there wasn’t a big surfing culture there, for ob vious reasons, and there wasn’t a lot to do , so you had two choices – you could kind of han g out around the station... or play music,” he explained. English got his first taste of professional performance in the la te 60 ’s when he joined Sebastian Hardie, but although he loved being in a rock band, he left in 1972 after bein g c ast as J udas Isc ariot in the Australian cast of ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’.

TRILOGY OF ROCK SEPTEMBER 20 EVAN THEATRE He then c arved out a c areer in TV, which spurred on his popularity. Recently, English has been busy a t work with his rock tribute concerts and penning

musical sho w ‘Paris’, which is a vailable on iTunes, and ‘Busk ers and An gels’. H e is currently touring venues in Sydney performing his ‘Trilogy of Rock’ show.

Ten shuffles news desk and brand There’s been plenty of action over in the Channel Ten news department this past week. Firstly, one of the best young television journalists in Australia right now, Hamish MacDonald, has quit the network. \ Meanwhile, Jessica Rowe is back and will be part of the morning show ‘Studio 10’. Lastly, Ten has re-launched the ‘Eyewitness News’ brand with live news streaming.

Channel Nine won’t be happy that their big budget, hugely hyped series ‘Power Games: The PackerMurdoch Story’ bombed. The second and final episode only managed to hit 773,000 viewers, down 20,000 from the previous week. Nine had hopes for the series on the back of last year’s Packer drama ‘Howzat’ but viewers didn’t share that passion for Kerry’s father Frank.

With the show set to end next month, ‘Breaking Bad’ fans will soon have something else to look forward to, a spin-off series. Titled ‘Better Call Saul’, the series will serve as a prequel and centre on attorney Saul Goodman, Walter White’s lawyer.

In some better news for Nine it has secured the IronMan and IronWoman Series from January next year. The 2014 series will be shorter and faster than previous events, with races conducted at three new locations starting in Margaret River in Western Australia.

Channel Nine are copping it hard from viewers of ‘Weekend Today’ after popular American entertainment correspondent Michelle Mahone was axed from the program. Last weekend the show used a local entertainment reporter in studio, which didn’t quite hit the mark in my opinion.

Lastly, just when you thought there couldn’t possibly be anymore pawn shows, two more popped up on A&E last week. ‘Pawn Stars UK’ is a flop but I did very much enjoy the spinoff series ‘Hardcore Pawn Chicago’. ‘Hardcore Pawn Chicago’ airs Tuesday nights at 7.30pm.

Bring on week two! Jets advance into week two of finals for a showdown with Cronulla Sharks

t was another thriller match and a close call for New town, who manag ed to hol d on to a w in against W entworthville last weekend. Newtown started the ma tch against W entworthville in spec tacular fashion, which took them on a scorin g spree w ith 40 unansw ered points in the first half. It was close to the J ets’ best first half performance in sev eral weeks as halv es Ryley Jacks and Adam Henry were in top form; Jacks figuring prominently in New town’s first five tries, and scoring two. The second half was a differen t stor y ho wever as the J ets’ standar d of pla y fell b y the wayside. Their completion ra te was no where as solid as the first, which sa w it drop from 87 per cent in the first half to 5 4 per cen t in the second. There would have been cause for concern for Jets coach Greg Ma tterson who w itnessed his team succumb to 26 unanswered points in the second half.

Newtown Jets winger Chris Taripo goes in to score. Photo: Gary Sutherland Photography At the conclusion of the ma tch Ma tterson was quick to heap praise on his side’s first half defensive displa y, ur ging his pla yers to contribute more in defence and put in that extra one per cen t, which he said w ould contribute to winning semi finals matches. He said the a ttack in the first half was e xcellent, but was c ritical of their second half performance which ga ve Wentworthville a sniff

when the match should have been a write-off. Amongst the best performances w ere halves Ryley J acks and A dam H enry and spec ial praise was heaped on winger Chris Taripo who had played a full game the day before. The Jets now advance in to week two of the VB NS W Cup finals series and w ill meet the Cronulla Sharks a t 1pm on Sunda y a t L eichhardt Oval in a sudden-death encounter.
