When are we going to recognise cyber bullying as a problem?

The death of Charlotte Dawson last weekend was tragically sad – a life taken way too soon in such rotten circumstances. Not s urprisingly g iven s ome of t he more h igh profile struggles that Charlotte faced, there’s been a call for the powers that be to really have a look at cyber bullying to see what we need to do to curb its growth and the tragedy it causes. For a wh ile t here, I ad mit t hat I w as i n t he brigade of people who said, simply, “turn it off”. If it affects you so badly, deactivate your Facebook account, stop looking at Twitter and get into the real world. I prob ably no w more t han ev er u nderstand that sometimes that’s simply not possible. These days, social media is used for education and work as m uch a s i t i s f or f un a nd g ames, he nce t he negative side can be unavoidable. I t hink o ne o f t he b ig p roblems h ere i s t hat people still can’t accept cyber bullying as a form of torment on p ar, if not worse, than schoolyard or workplace bullying. As a society we still seem to have the mentality that bullying has to involve punches being thrown in the playground. And because that acceptance doesn’t exist, it’s often the more mature people walking among us who are the perpetrators. Let me give you an example. This week, Channel Nine announced that Erin Molan would be a permanent member of ‘The Footy Show’ panel.

Cyber bullying is a disgraceful blight on our society

Erin i s a n a ccomplished j ournalist, h aving worked he r w ay u p t hrough re gional te levision to t hen l and a pr ized g ig a t C hannel Ni ne. S he knows her stuff when it comes to rugby league, is a talented presenter and deserves the job. Some o f t he c omments p osted a bout N ine’s announcement a re di sgusting, di sgraceful a nd shameful. But when you click into the profiles of those doi ng t he keyboard b ashing, it’s a mazing what you discover. Women with respectable jobs. Men with wives and k ids. Fa mily p eople who w e w ould c all ‘normal’ any other day of the week and probably live their lives with respect and dignity. Why, then, do they act like this on social media? Erin Molan is hopefully smart enough to not read t his c rap – bu t wh at i f she d id? H ow c an anyone predict another person’s response? High p rofile p eople in deed f ace s crutiny a nd negativity – that’s the nature of the beast. But some of the comments that end up on social media sites cross every possible line imaginable – somehow, it brings the worst out of good people. Cyber bullying is a disgraceful blight on our society a nd on ly get ting w orse. W e ne ed t o somehow change the very bad road we are going down. If we don’t, stories like Charlotte Dawson will keep happening. What’s worse, the stories you don’t hear about on the 6pm news will keep happening too.

Families in Grayndler will be among the top 20 electorates hardest hit by the Governments’s new GP tax in Australia, according to Grayndler MP Anthony Albanese. New Medicare analysis reveals Grayndler will pay more than $5.5 million in tax each year, just to see the local doctor. “It is a shameful indictment of the Abbott Government that they would consider charging Australians who can least afford it to see the doctor,” Mr Albanese said. “What’s more is that Tony Abbott promised Australians before the election he would not touch Medicare.

Good health on a budget It has been found tha t more than 550 ,000 Australians aged 55 years and over spend more than 10 per cent of their income looking after their health. Free health checks are ideal for people looking to save money on health rela ted expenses.

Benefits offered b y y our health fund, loc al pharmac y and by M edicare are g ood opportuni ties to sa ve.

Diabetes sufferers should head to their local pharmacist for advice on managing their condition. Some stores even offer free heart, blood pressure and blood sugar level checks. Why not check in with your local pharmacist and see what is on offer? Healthcare inevitably becomes a bigger part of people’s lives as they age, with the majority of people experiencing some loss of hearing and vision. Many optometrists bulk bill eye tests for Medicare card holders who haven’t had an eye test in the last two years. And for those who suspec t a change in their hearing, one of the leading national healthcare providers, AudioClinic, offers free hearing checks to people over the age of 18.

Not only would you benefit, but it is an opportunity to help the community by providing researchers with valuable data.

FITEC FITNESS CHAMPION

BROUGHT TO YOU BY

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...

JESS GALEA Change your perception and be grateful How does fitness feature in your life? For a long time, my weight was a constant battle. Trying every diet under the sun and training like a maniac for two to three hours per day, I thought I was doing the right thing until o ther a reas o f m y h ealth s tarted t o deteriorate. I began sufferin g w ith depression and anxiety. I was determined tha t meds w ere not an option. I started researchin g and discovered tha t the food I ea t w ill ha ve a huge impact on ho w I feel men tally, physically and emotionally. I manag ed to sta y medic ation f ree and changed m y en tire lifestyle. I di tched the supplements, threw out the sugar , banned processed food and fast food became a huge “no no”. Within da ys I noticed a difference in myself. Within weeks, my family started to notice a change. From that point, life was no longer about eating to be “skinny”, it was about fuellin g m y body to be a healthier , fitter version of myself and weight loss was just a bonus! Recently, I was diagnosed w ith M ultiple Sclerosis (MS). This is an auto immune disease tha t a ttacks y our cen tral ner vous system c ausing symptoms such as loss of muscle con trol, v ision, balance and sensation. But here is the important part: MS does not define me. I still maintain my health, I still train and I refuse to let the disease w in. Perception and positivity are the motors in my engine.

A daily must do? Be grateful. Every day, before you get up, spend a minute to lay there and go over the things y ou h ave t o b e g rateful f or. I t w ill change your day. Biggest health / fitness misconception? Calorie coun ting. I ha ve a diet tha t most would consider ‘high fat’ and therefore ‘high calorie’ and most days, I am eating more calories than I am burnin g! But, my sources of fat are the secret: grass fed meat, coconut oil, olive oil, coconut f lesh and avocado are just some of the foods tha t I ea t on a daily basis. W ith the remo val of sugars, whea t, grains and processed foods, calories are no longer a problem. What do y ou consider the bigg est benefit of being fit and healthy? For me, I love feeling strong and able to do anything! I c an lift hea vy things, I c an play with my kids for hours and I never feel sick. Three top tips for good health: 1 Change y our perception. D on’t sa y “I can’t eat that” and instead, say “I choose not to eat that”. 2. Read labels. B e a ware of wha t is in the food tha t y ou’re ea ting. If i t’s not fruit, vegetables or mea t, then i t has an ingredients list. If you can’t recognise an ingredient, don’t eat it! 3. Be ac tive. Move your body daily , it w ill thank you.

What type of acti vity / e xercise do y ou enjoy the most? I do CrossFi t which is a sport tha t incorporates Olympic liftin g and a broad range of func tional mo vements tha t promote strength, fitness and mobility. Freestyle... I believ e ev eryone’s journey is unique. I also believ e tha t kno wledge is in valuable when it comes to food and lifestyle. S o arm yourself with knowledge!

Power is at a premium, so pace yourself. Projects need to be carefully v etted, and y our e xclusive c ircle of f riends narro ws. Venus bobs up with the occasional tempting invitation but your greatest pleasure is gleaned f rom relaxing pastimes. Supremac y over others is not your goal this week.

PISCES FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

This w eek’s panorama w idens to include unfamiliar terri tory. Your greatest wish is to solve the problems of others but sometimes they ha ve to do tha t for themselv es. L et your imagination r un riot and leave the details to people with an eagle eye. Your soft spot for the underdog is admirable but good intentions alone are not enough.

Crazy commen ts raise y our Ram ey ebrows, as madc ap ener gy from M ercury p revents people f rom filterin g t heir w ords. You can tune out c utting remarks or tak e offence. The choice is y ours and it depends on the c ircumstances. Ruling Mars sugg ests a sense of humour is your saviour… provided you laugh at yourself as well as others. Also, a thick skin takes the sting out of criticism.

Closing your eyes won’t stop t he train wreck. V igilant Mercury puts you on red alert and pus hes prevention over cure. Burying your head in the sand is no lon ger a viable option, but thankfully hostile situations are short li ved. Alex Haley sa ys, “Either you deal w ith what is the reality or you can be sure the reality will deal with you”.

Star predictions for the week beginning March 2

TAURUS APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

Mastering the basics is simple for pragmatic Virgos. You are aided and abetted by Venus early in the week, as you cook up practical plans and common sense schemes. Plus a blast f rom the past stirs up long-suppressed sentiment. You acknowledge these feelings, then file them away for future reflection.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

The perfect position or partner eludes y ou. Your options are to settle for second best or change your criteria. Mercury the scholar suggests an open mind is the solution. Allow the Universe to unlock doors and then be prepared to step through them. Remember, your vision of the world is viewed through a rosy lens. Dig a li ttle deeper and you will find true beauty beneath the layers.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

Your ambitious streak rises to the surface. Personable planets at the peak of y our chart encourage self-promotion and cheeky charm. B osses love your work but colleagues ma y resent your rise to the top. Drag ri vals along for the ride and promise to share the spoils. As Liberace said, “Oh yes, the other day I cried all the way to the bank”.

Powerful Pluto boosts your magnetism and your obsessive Scorpio streak. You’re in the mood to focus on others, but don’t scare them away by being too intense! Idealistic visions need to be balanced by a level-headed approach. Take into account your energy levels, expertise and fixation on issues close to your heart.

GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

You teach wha t you need to learn. L ecturing others on a variety of issues is both c athartic and enligh tening. You think la terally and c an listen to y our own voice all day. Mercury warns that factchecking is critical to success. Ignore the thought bubbles and focus on evidence-based details.

You read more into a situation than actually exists. Elusive solar energy sets y ou up for failure if y ou second-guess, ra ther than dissect possible outcomes. An adversary is one step ahead and catching up requires clever detective work on your part. If you play the role of attacker not victim, then a change of mindset will follow.

CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22

CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20

This week, sweet words of praise slip from the tongue. You find flattery goes a long way towards getting what you want, but stop short of outright manipulation. Mercury (the communicator) suggests your message is less important than the delivery. For this reason, strive to polish your acting skills and pad out the content.

Your best qualities are initiative and imagination. This week the Sun fans the flames of an idea and tutors you in the art of multitasking. There is a buzz around your home or office that stirs the collective conscience and speeds up successful outcomes. Others are smitten by your professional style of delivery.

It’s time to clean out the wardrobe KATHERINE TWEED katherine.tweed@ westernweekender. com.au

We’re heading into a new season and a whole bunch of new trends, which means i t’s time to clean out the war drobe. I know, clearing out your wardrobe is one of the hardest – and sometimes most upset ting – things that a person has to g o through but w ithout the seasonal re- vamp your wardrobe may end up like mine. I am really lazy when it comes to hanging up my clothes. After they come out of the wash, m y clothes end up folded in a pile in my bedroom and that is where they stay, in a pile. This pile normally consists of my every-day and favourite items – think jeans, whi te t - shirts, a cool skirt and top ensemble, a black dress and some work clothes. Because of m y oh-so con venient pile, I rarely ev en have to look in my wardrobe, let alone rummage around in there to discover what unworn treasures may be hiding. Over the season I migh t put a way m y clothes ev ery couple of w eeks but v ery slowly my wardrobe becomes a thick, impenetrable jungle full of items that I never wear. To g et a jump start on the season ahead, I spen t a da y this w eek clearin g out m y war drobe, and y es, y ou read correctly, it took me a whole day. I began by hanging up my beloved pile of clothes but when I was not even half way through, I ran out of han gers and had to face m y fears; i t was time to cull. I took out ev ery item that I ha ven’t worn for more than a y ear and when I was done, m y war drobe was almost empty. I sat down to survey the situation and began sifting through the new pile I had created. There were the clothes that were easy to thro w a way or dona te but i t was really tough to part with those items that had special, sentimental value. I am ashamed to sa y that I wasn ’t ready to sa y g oodbye to some of them but it felt good to donate the rest.

CHATTER ON THE BOX

RIP Charlotte, we will miss you Channel Ten’s new drama ‘Secrets and Lies’ will finally premiere this Monday, March 3 at 8.30pm. The premise of the six-part series sounds promising: Ben Gundelach is running. He’s 35, it’s nearly dawn and he is on his morning jog. But Ben is a panicked, desperate man… he races to his house, shouting at his wife to call the police. Ben has just discovered a four-yearold boy brutally murdered.

To some exciting news now and the mother of all award shows during ‘Awards Season’ is the Academy Awards and as always Channel Nine are screening it live this Monday, March 3 from 12.30pm. Hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, the Oscars will be replayed (when everyone else is home) at 9.40pm that night. E! on Foxtel will also be hosting a red carpet special with Ryan Seacrest earlier that mor ning.

I just want to say how sad and shocking it was to lose TV presenter Charlotte Dawson last Saturday. I hope something good can come out of this in terms of recognising depression and the horrible power people on social media can have over one another.

Returning to Ten next week is popular drama ‘Puberty Blues’ which will air this Wednesday, March 5 at 8.30pm. It’s understood this season will push the boundaries even more as it now moves beyond the storylines in the original novel.

Excellent but surprising news for fans of sc-fi show ‘Heroes’ after it was announced last weekend that the axed show was returning in 2015 known as ‘Heroes Reborn’. The plot is currently a huge secret but it’s understood it will come back as a 13-part mini-series.

One of the best reality shows going around returned last night on 7TWO, ‘The Amazing Race’. If you missed it, this season is another one of the crazy All Stars versions but after viewing the first episode, it’s set to be a fantastic series ahead. Episode two is this Thursday.

But already in trigued with the variety after v isits to Italy, they were amazed at just how fragrant the resultant juice proved to be, leaving them “happy Little winemakers”. It’s a rewar ding drop w ith c itrus, herb and mineral flavours – but be warned there are three thin gs y ou need to bear in mind: nev er think of the cellar , small glasses or petite sips with this one. Instead buy i t, chill i t, pour i t in to a big glass, and relish it by the mouthful. And on the table match it with deep-fried calamari or roast pork for a truly sumptuous experience. Excellent value at $26.
