Fernhill Picnic Races will ring with the sound of rock-and-roll as Australian rock legend, James Reyne takes to the stage.

The historic Fernhill Estate will be opened to the public on Saturday, November 9 for the only country race meeting to be held in Sydney this year, the Carlton Mid Picnic Race Day. Featuring six picnic races, including the $25,000 Carlton Mid Fernhill Cup, the day will be full of entertainment for the whole family.

Following the final race of the day, guests at the historic Fernhill Estate will be treated to a free concert, with the unique opportunity to hear the former ‘Australian Crawl’ front-man belt out his most famous tunes.

Famous for a number of hit singles, including Downhearted, Reckless, Beautiful People, Hammerhead as well as Motor’s Too Fast and Way Out West, to see the artist perform live is an opportunity not to be missed.

“The James Reyne performance has been made possible with the support of one of the day’s charity partners, NordoffRobbins Music Therapy Australia,” said a representative from Fernhill.

Nordoff-Robbins is a local organisation that provides music therapy services to children and adults living with physical and intellectual disabilities, trauma, mental health problems, depression and medical illnesses, as well as learning, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

Tickets are on sale now; for details visit www. fernhillpicnics.com.au.

Track gets thumbs up from winning jockey Blake Ryan knows a good country track when he sees one and after taking part in a trial run on the Fernhill circuit last week, he’s rated Sydney’s newest racecourse in his top three.

The 27-year-old jockey has been working for the last 18-months in partnership with his father, trainer Gerald Ryan who runs a leading stable at Rosehill.

Previously Ryan has raced on many regarded picnic tracks including Young, Grenfell, Cowra and Cootamundra but says that Fernhill offers something very unique.

THE HEARTBEAT OF PENRITH

ROADS NEEDED In the wake of the devastating bush fi res that swept through the Blue Mountains last week, Penrith Councillor Marcus Cornish is calling for better roads infrastructure.

He says that many Blue Mountains residents are isolated because there are not appropriate connecting roads to Penrith.

He is concerned that lives could be lost without proper evacuation routes.

Police to target parties in major St Marys operation KATHERINE TWEED

P

olice in St Marys will tackle hoodlum behaviour and irresponsible partying in a major operation to launch this week.

The annual ‘Operation Enough’ runs during the party season each year, targeting what police consider to be ‘high-risk’ parties, local areas known to be youth hang-outs, underage drinking and anti-social behaviour.

Police will be out in force each weekend for the next month closely monitoring hot-spots within the St Marys Local Area Command.

“The idea of the operation is to communicate a

clear message in the community that we will not be tolerating an increase in hooligan or hoodlum activity that is usually associated with the hotter months,” said St Marys Local Area Command Inspector, Jason Green.

“We are not discouraging people from having parties or from enjoying themselves. We just want them to do so safely.”

One of the major concerns of police is the role that social media plays in the planning and organisation of parties in the local area.

“Parties, particularly those involving young persons or young adults are often a prime source of violence in our community. These parties often get out of control because of unwanted guests

who often attend these parties as they are advertised on, or information about the parties is distributed via social media,” Inspector Green said.

Th roughout November, Penrith Panthers players will accompany police as they carry out their operational duties.

“A big positive of their support is that the community see our high profi le rugby league players are right behind us in supporting our initiatives. We believe this can only be positive,” Inspector Green said.

“Our local police are not out there to spoil your fun, but we are there to ensure that your one night of fun doesn’t turn into a lifetime of regret.”

Government promised no schools would be worse off, but we find three that are Three local schools will re ceive less funding d espite promi ses th at a n ew education funding model would leave no school worse off...

CASSANDRA O CONNOR

T

hree local schools will have reduced funding when the fir st stage of the State Government’s new Resource Allocation Model is implemented next year.

The Resource Allocation Model (RAM) provides two streams of funding for local public schools, the fi rst being a base allocation to fund staffin g and infrastructure; and the second is a loading for schools reflective of their composition of students from Aboriginal or lower socio-economic backgrounds.

Base funding for schools will not be implemented until 2017, however, the loadings will come into effect from 2014.

“The RAM [distributes] funding to public schools in NSW on a needs basis.

Funding provided to schools will directly reflect the characteristics of individual schools and their students,” said Education Minister Adrian Piccoli.

“Schools will benefit from the implementation of two new equity formulas. $300 million will be distributed across all public schools on the two new loadings for socio-economic and Aboriginal backgrounds. $100 million of this is additional funding, made possible by the Gonski Agreement.”

Whilst the majority of schools in the local area will receive substantial increases in funding through the new loadings, Werrington Public School, Oxley Park Public School and Braddock Public School will receive less funding than was allocated to them in 2013.

Werrington PS received $364,120 in 2013, but next year will receive $25,658 less.

Local News

Not all smiles in the playground

Funding is set to be cut to three local schools, despite State Government promises that no school would be worse off under new funding plans.

Funding allocated to Oxley Park PS totalled $920,717 in 2013 but they will lose $29,760 of that funding.

Braddock PS stands to lose the most, having their 2013 funding of $418,532 slashed by $31,322 in 2014.

When the NSW Government signed up to the Gonski reforms with the former Labor Federal Government earlier this year, the State Government promised the historic agreement would provide more resources for schools.

Penrith MP, Stuart Ayres, issued a statement on April 24 which said, “The

new system ensures that no schools will lose funding”.

Mr Ayres said that the RAM ensures fairer funding of schools.

“In relation to Braddock Public school, the equity allocation at that school drops by $32,000 however this school still receives more than double the funding of any other primary school in the Penrith electorate,” he said.

When questioned on the backfl ip, a spokesperson for the Department of Education and Communities said each school is receiving significant equity

funding in 2014.

“Previously, some schools received equity funding from multiple programs.

The RAM reflects a fairer and more transparent approach to distributing resources to all schools,” they said.

“It funds student needs, not schools on a specific state funding program.”

NSW Opposition Leader John Robertson has slammed the funding model as “a broken promise”.

“Why is this Government cutting funding to any school in this region,” Mr Robertson said.

But so we don’t get all sniff y about it, Kleenex tries to reassure us that they’re still “big, strong two-ply tissues you love, just in a smaller box”.

Yet according to Choice, the wording is clever: we’re not getting the same big, strong tissues we love – just big strong tissues in general.

The tissues themselves have shrunk in size by almost 14 per cent.

It’s an outrage!

And what about Credit Repair Australia?

They charge a non-refundable upfront fee of $990 to consumers who need their credit fi le repaired.

You know, when that mobile phone bill you didn’t pay as a teenager comes back to haunt you when you’re trying to buy a new car?

Problem is, in most cases, default listings and other information about your credit history can’t be removed from a report unless it is proven to be wrong.

Choice says: “Th is company boasts of having dealt with over 150,000 consumers in the last 10 years – and we reckon that most of them would have been better off not paying for this shonky service.”

Or better off paying their phone bill in the fi rst place, probably.

What about Oats Express?

If you look at the front of the Oats Express liquid breakfast pack, you could be forgiven for thinking you’re getting a drink of milk blended with oats, banana and honey. After all, it’s right there in the picture – a glass of milk, rolled oats, sliced banana and a honey dipper.

But as Choice delved further into the fi ne print, they found “banana extract” and “natural flavours” – which is presumably where the honey fits in.

Personally, I’d say that if you don’t have time to whack some Oats in the microwave and you need a liquid alternative, you need to work on your time management skills.

We all tell white lies.

Some of us tell bigger ones.

Sometimes, what’s right stops us.

Sometimes, knowing we can get away with it does not.

Challenge yourself – this weekend, tell the truth in every single sector of your life. Simple? You may fi nd it isn’t as easy as it sounds, and it may surprise you how much we fib to get through the day.

for a update Valuation

ou know that Jim Carey movie, ‘Liar Liar’?

As much as I’m not Jim’s biggest fan, I often think about that fl ick and wonder what the world would be like if we all just said it as it is and told the truth.

Would the divorce rate be huge?

Would the unemployment rate be so high that Centrelink wouldn’t have the time to think about a new logo let alone spend millions of dollars creating an example of a Kindergarten artwork?

Would Michael Clarke and Ricky Ponting actually be friends?

Sitting at the traffic lights at the intersection of Mulgoa Road and Jamison Road on Tuesday night, I wondered what would have happened if we had been up front and revealed the real reason we installed traffic lights there was because people don’t know how to use a round-about properly.

Ah, but that’s not a good line for the smiling politicians who get to be photographed at the announcement, the sod turning, the completion, the switching on, the anniversary and whatever else they can come up with.

Seriously, it takes three times as long to get through there than it used to all because a whole heap of us don’t know simple road rules.

I wonder, really, how much life would actually change if we all just told the truth, all of the time.

My mother loves to tell the story of when I was a kid and I revealed that I’d been stealing loose change from the tin in the kitchen.

Embarrassing, but gee it felt good to get it off my chest.

By the way, the more people I tell that story to the more I become the prime suspect here at Weekender headquarters when it comes to the charity chocolate box that always seems to come up short every month.

Consumer group Choice came up with some beauties when it comes to stretching the truth this week.

The one that caught my eye was Kleenex’s Mansize Tissues.

According to Choice, in a total contradiction of the product’s name and purpose, Kleenex Mansize Tissues have shrunk.

First, the box is substantially smaller – about half the size of the old box.

omestic violence is emerging as a major issue in Penrith and more broadly, as local support groups work to encourage victims to come forward.

In Penrith last year, there were 877 incidents reported to police, but many more cases go unreported.

Even more incidents fall through the gaps in the system because there are no standard defi nitions of what domestic violence and deaths caused by domestic violence entail.

That’s why the State Government is looking to change the defi nitions of a number of domestic violence related terms through the Crimes and Courts Legislation Amendment Bill 2013.

Mulgoa MP, Tanya Davies, strongly supports the move to improve reporting on domestic violence. “The aim is to make information collected about domestic violence more accurate – for example, the defi nition of a domestic violence death is being widened so that future programs can be developed and tailored to address any trends that may emerge,� Mrs Davies said.

Just last week, on Thursday, October 24, a 59-year-old Emu Plains man died of stab wounds in what police believe was a domestic related incident.

Police and paramedics were called to a home in Westbank Avenue and found the man with stab wounds to his torso and transported him to Nepean Hospital but

he died shortly after. Police have arrested and charged a 34-year-old man.

Whilst statistics on domestic violence deaths include situations where the victim and offender are in a current domestic relationship, former relationships are not recognised.

The amendment will recognise the

deaths of persons who were previously in a domestic relationship with the offender, persons mistakenly identified by the offender as being or formerly being in a domestic relationship with the offender, and persons who have attempted to intervene in a domestic violence situation between the offender and victim.

Vulnerable children at risk “Reports of serious child abuse and neglect are slipping through the cracks” CASSANDRA O CONNOR

W

estern Sydney has one of the highest number of reports of children at risk of signific ant harm, yet the lowest rate in the state for face-to-face assessments of those children.

The Department of Family and Community Services is responsible for the provision of community services caseworkers who investigate and assess reports of risk of harm to children, provide assistance to vulnerable families and support and monitor children in out-ofhome care.

Currently an inquiry into the number of caseworkers is being held after the NSW Opposition Leader, John Robertson, was critical of Minister Pru Goward’s estimation of on-the-ground caseworker staff.

But there is fresh criticism of the Department after it was revealed that a significantly lower proportion of children reported to be at risk of significant harm in the region are being assessed face-to-face compared to other NSW regions.

According to the Department of Family and Community Services, western Sydney has the fourth highest number of at-risk reports out of seven areas – 15,874 in 2012/13 – however only 19 per cent of these children are seen face to face, compared to an average of 28 per cent.

“Across NSW, reports of serious child abuse and neglect are slipping through the cracks,” Mr Robertson said.

“These vulnerable children are the human face of the O’Farrell Government’s cuts,” he added.

He said that at the heart of the problem is staffi ng numbers, with only 238 actual full time equivalent caseworkers employed in the local area in the April to June 2013 quarter.

The NSW Government had budgeted for an additional 30 staff during that period, but this week was unable to tell the Weekender if those positions have since been fil led.

“These figures confi rm what the O’Farrell Government has been trying to hide for months – that caseworker numbers have fallen in western Sydney leaving a significant shortage for the region despite increasing reports,” Mr Robertson said.

“We have already seen senior bureaucrats confi rm caseworker positions have been declining on Minister Goward’s watch, despite her repeatedly stating the exact opposite. Budget savings clearly come before the protection of vulnerable children under the O’Farrell Government.”

A Family and Community Services spokesperson defended the shortfalls, saying that vast improvements over the past two years had been made.

“There has been significant and continual improvement in Mt Druitt and the Metro West areas generally over the past two years and the district is moving closer to reaching state averages,” the spokesperson said.

“The implementation of a number of initiatives in the last 24 months has seen

State Opposition Leader John Robertson is unhappy with Pru Goward and Barry O’Farrell.

the number of face to face assessments increased significantly and the district continues to reduce the number of children entering out-of-home care.”

Petition calls for financial assistance to be provided to RFS volunteers CASSANDRA O CONNOR

T

here are 70,000 fi re fig hting volunteers in NSW, none of which receive fi nancial assistance for their efforts to protect the lives and livelihoods of others.

After witnessing the hardship that many of these selfless community heroes are going through, Cranebrook resident Geoff Hearn decided to take action.

He has started a petition through Change.org that in the fi rst four days already had 23,000 signatures asking the State Government to provide funding assistance to volunteer fi re fig hters.

“My son is a volunteer and has been for the past three years. He has been trained up at no cost to me by the RFS and works alongside so many volunteers who are giving up so much to help others,” Mr Hearn said.

“Lots of these guys are covering the costs of travel to and from the fi res, and giving up wages they rely on to pay their bills. There are so many people out there doing it tough but are willing to put their last $20 in their petrol tank to get out and fight these fires.”

Mr Hearn said that many of the volunteer fi re fighters he knows would never ask for help, which is why he is taking up the fight on their behalf.

Amongst the thousands of signatures of support are many comments from volunteers and their families.

“They are all heroes and defi nitely need to be given money to ensure they are not

losing money by giving their time, energy and incredible support,” said petition signatory, Jill Woodger.

“I’m an RFS member. I have friends in RFS who cannot get employment and spend what little money they get going to and from fi res. Some support would be great,” added Russell.

The petition is called “Barry O’Farrell: Set up a support fund for our fi re fig hters who have gone without to fight the fir es” and can be found at www.change.org.

Premier, Barry O’Farrell thanked the volunteers for their effor ts.

“I pay tribute to all the brave volunteers who put their own safety at risk to protect

the lives and property of others,” he said.

“The NSW Government has put in place legal protections to ensure emergency services volunteers are not penalised by their employer for taking leave from their regular job during this bush fi re crisis.”

Surge in home brews DIY beers becoming all the rage for many local residents

ROSS FOWLER KATHERINE TWEED

Bushfire Message Many of us have friends and family in Yellow Rock, Winmalee and Springwood, and our thoughts are with those who have lost their homes in the bushfires.

As families begin to rebuild their lives, some of Penrith Council’s staff is on loan to Blue Mountains Council for the recovery effor t.

During the emergency our Local Emergency Management Offic er coordinated support and we had staff rostered on traffic patrol.

Staff will continue to work at Springwood’s State Disaster Recovery Centre for some weeks to come.

With staff helping in the mountains, some Council services may be affected. Thank you for your patience and understanding at this time.

My thanks to all the Rural Fire Service volunteers and those working at Storage King and Panthers as well as the many community organisations who pitched in during the emergency, including the Salvation Army.

S

itting back on a Friday afternoon and sipping a bottle of their own ice-cold home-brewed beer is a pastime that many Australian men wish they had the time for.

Brewing beer, cider, wine and variations of the three is a hobby taken up by many retired men who love a beverage or two, have some time on their hands, have a slight ‘perfectionist’ streak and can play the waiting game without getting too frustrated.

Cambridge Park resident Jim Tiberi brews over 100 bottles of his own lager each year from a ‘home-brewery’ set up on his back verandah.

Retirement has given the local senior enough time to develop his own “tricks of the trade� and he has modified his methods, perfecting his brew to his preferred taste. “I do it a little bit differently to others because I have developed my own system. If you go by the book you have to use this lid and put a breather thing here and all that jazz... I just seal it with glad-wrap and wrap an elastic band around it,� he said.

Mr Tiberi gave the Weekender a quick demonstration and an explanation of the process before letting the team taste test his Corona inspired lager. “When people come over I buy beer as well because I don’t want to say ‘here’s the home brew’. I don’t infl ict it on others but I do let them taste my beer and they

Olympian’s generosity on show after victory in Australia’s oldest triathlon event NATHAN TAYLOR

W

ith devastating bushfi res just kilometres away from the Nepean Triathlon course days out from the annual event, many officials wondered if this year’s race would even go ahead.

Fortunately for two-time Olympian Emma Moffatt, the smoke lifted on Sunday, the race went ahead and she went on to win the female section of Australia’s oldest and richest triathlon in record time.

But it wasn’t just Moffatt’s recordbreaking performance on the 41km course that caught people by surprise, it was her generosity off the track that has had a lot of people talking.

Following the race the Beijing Olympic bronze medallist donated part of her prize money from winning the triathlon to the NSW Bushfi re Appeal to help families devastated by last week’s tragedy.

“The sponsor Gulf Western Oil put up a $2,000 bonus for fi rst across the line whether that be male or female, so I was lucky enough to win that,” Moffatt said.

“I thought there was a lot of unfortunate people out there that have been struck by the bushfi res who might appreciate some help. It was a bonus so it was nice to be able to share that with people.”

It was the fi rst time in the 29-year-old’s decorated career she had competed at the Sydney International Regatta Centre.

“Usually this time of year I’m on my break because the international season fi nishes in September so usually I’m on

holidays somewhere,” Moffatt said.

Netting $19,000 in prize money, Moffat t said she’ll have to make room in her schedule to defend her title next year.

“I would love to come back,” she said.

“It’s different to what we are used to with the boys racing 11 minutes behind the girls and chasing us down but I think

that makes it quite exciting and adds a little twist to the plot.”

Noosa triathlons being a week apart I’d extend the season a bit longer,” he said.

“I thought I would have come home from Europe feeling a bit stale and want to fi nish the season early but it hasn’t been too bad.”

Royle said the conditions were “perfect” come Sunday morning.

“There was not a breath of wind, clear skies and fortunately the smoke didn’t roll in until everyone fi nished the race.

Someone was looking after the Nepean Triathlon that’s for sure,” he said.

“I think I’ll have to come back and try and regain the title next year especially if Gulf Western Oil keep supporting the race, it’s one you don’t want to miss.”

t was only a few months ago champion Australian triathlete Aaron Royle was bedridden for 10 days in a Spanish hospital battling pneumonia.

But on Sunday, the 23-year-old from Wollongong bounced back to claim the $15,000 top prize at the Nepean Triathlon in record time.

Royle is now in the record books as the fastest triathlete to ever complete the 41km course in 1:26:35, smashing last year’s course record by London Olympian Courtney Atkinson by 1:09 minutes.

Speaking with the Weekender, Royle said

he wasn’t sure how he would perform in the race as the format and rules were different to what he was used to.

“Nepean is a flatter course because you race around the Regatta but the format is a lot different, which completely changes the race,” he said.

“Because I hadn’t done this type of race before I wasn’t sure how I would go, so that made it a little more exciting as well.”

With the European triathlon season running from May to September, the Newcastle-born athlete wasn’t even sure if he was going to compete in the Nepean as he should be taking a well-earned break.

devastating fi re has severely damaged a block of units in Haynes Street, Penrith, displacing many local residents whilst reconstruction work takes place.

About 5am on Saturday, October 26, residents were woken by large explosions caused by a fi re that had started in the basement car park of the complex.

Peter Carkagis, who has lived in the unit block for the last three years, said that his escape from the fir e was very fortunate.

“My wife gets up very early in the morning to go to work and woke me up because she could smell smoke,” he said.

“I went to the kitchen to see if everything was alright and there was no fi re, so then I went into the bathroom, where there was smoke fi lling the room. I could feel the heat on the top of my head and thought there must have been a fi re in the roof, so I yelled to my wife, ‘get dressed quickly and get out of here quicker’.

“We ran outside and down the front stairs and there were flames reaching our unit from the garage.

We quickly ran across to the other side of the road.”

The blaze caused damage to many of the apartments in the block. Residents reported that due to the layout of the building, the flames were coming through the vents in the units and flames and smoke wrapped around the edges of the building.

Penrith City Councillor Marcus Cornish, who owns a unit in the complex, said he was concerned about the many people who live in the block.

“People cannot live there whilst the building is being repaired and the rental market in Penrith is very tight so I am worried about the impact this will have on the residents,” he said.

Police have confi rmed they are investigating the

incident as an alleged arson attack.

Th ree youths were seen running from the car park towards Thurston Street. Police are trying to identify two males between the ages of 12 and 14, one who was wearing a cap, t-shirt and trackpants; the other a light coloured t-shirt and hoodie. A female also between 12 and 14-years, with long dark hair and shorts was seen leaving the area.

A man has been charged by police following a confrontation in Cranebrook on Monday. At about 7pm on Monday, October 28, police allege that a 35-year-old Werrington Downs man arrived at a residence in Collitt Crescent, Cranebrook, in possession of a fi rearm. The man walked onto the front veranda of the home, where two men, a woman and two young children were inside, and smashed the window with the weapon. The man was chased by the men who were inside the home and an altercation broke out. One of the men was allegedly hit in the head with the weapon before the offender escaped. Meanwhile, police had created a perimeter and began to search the area for the offender. A Police Transport Command car in the area at the time spotted, chased and arrested the offender in a reserve at the end of Hyton Place, Cranebrook. A ‘BB’ gun resembling a 9mm pistol was recovered in a nearby backyard. The man was charged with ‘common assault’, ‘possess unauthorised pistol’, ‘destroy or damage property’ and ‘enter building/land with fi rearm or imitation fi rearm’. The man was refused bail and appeared in Penrith Local Court on Tuesday.

As bush fire threat eases, councillor calls for forward thinking on roads CASSANDRA O CONNOR

I

n the wake of the devastating bushfir es that swept through the Blue Mountains last week, Penrith Councillor Marcus Cornish is calling for better roads infrastructure.

He says that many Blue Mountains residents are isolated because there are not appropriate connecting roads to Penrith.

“We were very fortunate in the Blue Mountains fi res that no-one was seriously injured despite several roads being cut off from the rest of the community,” Cr Cornish said.

“Many residents in Yellow Rock and further up the mountains could not escape when the bush fi res hit and had to shelter in their homes, but it would make sense if there were a couple of evacuation routes or roads put in so that this sort of situation doesn’t arise again.”

He said there were a number of routes that could be looked at.

“For the residents in Yellow Rock, there are a number of roads such as Yellow Rock Road or Illingworth Road that could be investigated as roads to join up with Old Castlereagh Road,” Cr Cornish said.

“Emu Plains Road at Mt Riverview could also be connected to Emu Heights – there are already fi re trails in the area.

“The problem is that because fi res like these don’t happen very often people forget, but we don’t want people being isolated the next time bush fi res threaten the area.”

Local News

Evacuation routes needed

The bushfire trail at the end of Grand View Drive in Mt Riverview was recently burnt by the fires, but could be used as an evacuation route.

Cr Cornish said fi re trails at the end of Grand View Drive in Mt Riverview already connect with Emu Plains.

Opinion

www.westernweekender.com.au

Dear Weekender

Have your say: write to the editor

Thanks to local vets We would like to pass on our gratitude for the excellent work of the staff at Nepean Animal Hospital. Dr Tony Karolis and his team have far exceeded our expectations in the ongoing care of our Bull Terrier, Anais. Late one night about two weeks ago we had to take Anais into the Animal Hospital as she was being sick and heaving up her food and water. We didn’t know what was wrong with her and suspected she may have been poisoned. She was treated for this and returned home but the next morning she was still very ill. She was taken back in and they had to put her on a drip as she was very dehydrated due to not being able to keep anything down. The vets at the Animal Hospital located a piece of bone that was stuck in her throat. She underwent surgery to remove the bone.

The surgery took a number of hours and the bone was successfully removed thanks to the skill and expertise of the vets. Anais had a large cut down her side and remained in their care for a few days being fed through a tube while heavily medicated. She was returned into our care however over the weekend her condition deteriorated. She was taken back to the Animal Hospital once again.

Unfortunately Anais had contracted an infection as a result of the bone that was stuck in her throat, possibly due to the size of it and it had caused pressure on her lungs. Fluid had built up around her lungs

email : news@westernweekender.com.au post : Suite 2, 42-44 Abel Street, Jamisontown 2750.

and she was struggling to breathe. The fluid was drained and she was placed onto strong pain relief. The vets indicated that she would have to go back into surgery again or the inevitable would happen. It took three veterinary surgeons several hours to remove dead tissue from her lungs and drain the fluid from her chest.

After enduring two major surgeries in eight days, Anais has pulled through and is on her way to making a full recovery.

The kind staff at the Animal Hospital keep us updated each day on how she is going and allow us to visit her there each day. We are incredibly grateful for the team of vets and nurses who dedicated their time and effort on getting Anais better. The service they provide is second to none and I highly recommend them to anyone with sick or ill pets.

Courage under fire Great story – wonderful idea to get a fir st hand encounter of these terrible fir es (From The Editor’s Desk, Western Weekender October 25). What a great individual Graham is, as well as all the men and women who volunteer their time to fight fires.

Nicole Bawcombe, via Facebook . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Court upgrade needed In reply to Ms Amy Franklin’s letter

regarding the Penrith Courthouse (Dear Weekender, Western Weekender October 18). Having a modern, well-functioning Courthouse is of key importance to a regional city such as Penrith. It is essential that we support our local legal practices, those employed by them and those employed by the court itself. Keeping these small businesses operational is great for our local economy and ensures easy access to those in the community who require legal assistance. Without an upgrade the community could suffer a reduction in local legal services and move businesses and jobs out of our city. If we want to grow our Regional City and attract the District Court back to Penrith, it is imperative that the court stay modern and up to date. Th is is the fi rst major upgrade which Penrith Courthouse has received in decades and I make no apology for being a strong voice for Penrith when it comes to investing in our city.

Stuart Ayres, State Member for Penrith . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Community spirit on show The recent fi res in the Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury and neighbouring regions have left many people without homes but not without hope courtesy of the magnificent deeds of our communities.

The collective efforts of the State Emergency Services and Rural Fire Service teams minimised the loss of property and ensured there was no loss of

human life, with their can do attitude reflective of the community spirit we wear proudly as a badge of honour.

My parliamentary colleagues Louise Markus and Senator Marise Payne were front and centre when it mattered most and together with her Blue Mountains State colleague Roza Sage made sure the people of the Mountains had a shoulder to lean on. The efforts of Don Feltis and the team at Panthers who accommodated over 760 fi re fighters from right across Australia to assist our local RFS was outstanding.

Despite the long hours and tough conditions, the Firies were in high spirits when I visited them last week with many commenting Panthers had become a home away from home. I also commend those local businesses who have made and continue to make an important contribution. Storage King Penrith and Penrith Storm Chasing are just two organisations which collected donations of furniture and everyday necessities to supply to families as they arrived at evacuation and temporary accommodation centres. Local real estate agent, Jim Aitken and Partners will be working with the NRMA to source suitable rental properties to support families who tragically lost their homes. I congratulate everyone who has lent a hand and consider myself very fortunate to be proud to be a part of such a hardworking and compassionate community.

Th is week, Lindsay MP Fiona Scott announced that the grants program has been expanded to help local residents take part in the occasion.

“The additional $25,000 means a total of $125,000 will now be available to establish and maintain ANZAC monuments and activities throughout Penrith and St Marys,” Ms Scott said.

“Th is funding will ensure the ANZAC

spirit will continue to play an important role throughout the greater Penrith region for many years to come.”

A Committee of local representatives will review applications for the grants and determine how the money will be allocated.

Newly appointed member of the committee, Marilyn Stacey, Honorary President of the Penrith RSL Women’s Auxiliary Branch, said this funding represented a great opportunity.

“Each year I attend the ANZAC Morning Service and I am amazed to see how many young people and their young families attend. I thought that we would eventually see a decline in people attending however this has not been the case, which is fantastic,” she said.

Ms Scott said funding can only be provided to events and memorials relating to World War I. Visit www. anzaccentenary.gov.au.

Are You living with

Diabetes Either yourself or someone you know?

The level of blood sugars can be measured in 2 ways:

taking. Also, it can indicate whether you are unwell and how your diabetes is progressing.

1. Blood Glucose Levels (BGL) measured using a hand held device called a Blood Glucose Monitor. There are a number of monitors on the market including the:

The recommended times include:

- Abbott Freestyle Optium, Freedom and Lite monitors, - Roche Accu-Chek Mobile and Performa

How fast are you going now?

Imagine driving to a destination in Sydney that is 60 km away. It takes you 1 hour. You travelled at an average of 60km/hr. This can be compared to your HbA1c reading. Your HbA1c shows an average of your blood sugar levels over the past 3 months.

Your average speed of 60km/hr. does not show that you slowed to 40km/hr. in a school zone, 50km/hr. in the suburban streets or travelled 110 km/hr. on the motorway. The same is true for your HbA1c reading. You can have a good HbA1c reading but be always sick with hypoglycaemia (low blood glucose levels).

These lows would be balanced by high sugar levels. Generally speaking, the target HbA1c reading is less than 7% This is where testing your Blood Glucose Levels with a monitor is very important. The monitors let you know if you are travelling at the right level at the time.

The important numbers to remember is: • Before eating; 4 to 6 mmol/l • 2 hours after eating; 4 to 8 mmol/l It is important to note the times mentioned above.

Random testing does not give you a clear picture of how your body is responding to what you ate or your medication.

Your Blood Glucose Monitor is your speedo!

So regular testing, at the right times is recommended so you get a clear idea of how your body responds to what you ate, your activity levels and the medication you are

• Before breakfast and before lunch and dinner.

When a reading of 4 to 6 mmol/l is ideal.

This is very important as it is an indicator of recycled sugar from your liver • 2 hours after meals when a reading of 6 to 8 mmol/l is ideal • At bedtime; this reading helps to tell if you are likely to have hypoglycaemia overnight. This reading will depend on when dinner was.

As you know, it is important you know the numbers in regards the sugar levels in the blood.

Do you want to understand diabetes better?

You do not have to do 7 readings a day; there are recommendations depending on how stable your blood sugars are. When they are stable fewer readings are needed. If your diabetes is unstable, then more readings are required to pick the trends and tailor your medication. At Martin s Chemist, we can tailor a series of readings and provide ongoing follow up with one of our pharmacists. There is no charge for this service.

BG Star Lastest Technology!

- Large easy to read backlit display - Easy to use meal - time tags - Blood sample only 0.5μl - Test takes 6 secs - Memory of up to 1865 tests!

Have fun with your readings!

Instead of being concerned about your Blood Glucose Level (BGL) measured with your monitor, have fun with it! That is the recommendation!

Your BGL changes with what you eat, how active you are and are affected by your medication and whether you are unwell. It is important to compare readings, so you understand your body and lifestyle, in relation to diabetes. The better you understand the effect of diabetes on your body, the better you will be stabilised. The more stable the diabetes, the lower the risk of complications!

Don t be afraid to test your BGL 2 hours after a big meal. You will learn a lot from the test. If the weather is good, go for a walk to help burn up the excess blood sugars. Test again to see the effect of the walk.

Our team at Martin s Chemist can help you understand how to get the most from your blood glucose monitor and help stabilise your diabetes. We offer an ongoing program that is no cost to you, so come in and see us or telephone on 9673 1010

T

hree South Penrith locals will be pumping their pedals all the way to Wollongong in an effort to raise money for people living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

The annual Sydney to the Gong Bike Ride sees hundreds of cyclists participate in the 90 kilometre event, with local team, ‘Back, Sack and Cracker’ taking part for the eighth year in a row. “We are all in our 50’s and have been riding for quite a while together. We ride

every Sunday morning up to Springwood and once a year do the Sydney to the Gong ride,� said member Barry Flanagan. “Ian Shaw, who is part of the core of our team, will be doing his 21st ride to Wollongong this year. “It is a fantastic day though because everyone participating is in great spirits!�

Mr Flanagan and his team over the years have raised thousands of dollars and this year are again asking for people to give generously.

Off the road: A 46-year-old man appeared before Penrith Local Court this week, pleading guilty to driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle whilst holding a disqualified licence. The Linden man was disqualified from driving in August this year, when he was convicted of a high-range drink driving offence, which took place in January. Less than a month after his disqualification, on September 17, the man was pulled over and charged by police for driving an unregistered and uninsured vehicle.

Taking into account the fact that the man had plead guilty at the fi rst available option, he was fi ned the sum of $800 and disqualified from driving for an additional two years, which will begin from the end date of his fi rst disqualification, in April 2014. For driving the vehicle whilst it was unregistered and uninsured, he was fi ned $100. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

At The Courts

Drinking problem: A Winmalee woman faced court on assault charges this week; her second appearance for assault charges this year. The fi rst incident occurred on July 19 when the woman was heavily intoxicated. She was charged with common assault as well as damaging property and using offensive language. At the time of the second incident, which occurred on October 17, the woman was yet to have the fi rst incident fi nalised by the courts. In the second incident she assaulted a police officer who was at a licensed venue. Like the fi rst incident, the woman was also intoxicated. When the woman appeared before the court this week, the magistrate suggested that the woman has a problem with alcohol. For this reason the woman was convicted and placed on a good behaviour bond under Section 9 for 12 months. She was ordered to agree to be supervised and assisted by probation and parole services. She was fi ned a total of $500. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Police recently found him to be in the possession of a number of illegal drugs and prohibited substances. At the same time, police found him with ammunition in his possession however, the court heard that the offender had discovered the ammunition left on his front doorstep, and believed it to be a threat. The man was convicted and placed on a bond for 10 months. He was also fi ned $600.

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT

Orchard Hills Public School on top once again

If you are passionate about planning an amazing event for next year’s Youth Week (April 5 to 14, 2014), apply before November 8, 2013 for funding to make it a success.

Guidelines and applications for Youth Week grants are available via www.penrithcity.nsw.gov.au/our-community/ grants. For more details call Council’s Youth Development Officer on 4732 7832.

More than 100 students involved in Wearing the Crown workshops throughout 2012 and 2013 celebrated their creative achievements at an interactive installation at North St Marys on Wednesday. Wearing the Crown is a Council-led creative community engagement project with young people in North St Marys and Werrington. Council staff and artists from arts and cultural organisation ICE worked with Year 5 and 6 children from St Marys North and Werrington Public Schools, as well as young people from Werrington Youth Centre and Chifley College. They were asked what was good about their neighbourhood, what was special about it and what could make it better. Their own original hip hop, photography and digital comic strips made on tablets answered these questions.

Penrith City Council has received an application to carry out extensive remediation works at 106-146 Smith Road, Castlereagh. The seven hectare site currently has no buildings or structures, but has been identified as contaminated with asbestos containing materials.

Approximately 1.4 hectares of the site contains fragments of fibre cement sheet containing asbestos. Furthermore, there are some soils on the site that have elevated arsenic and zinc concentrations. An underground tank is also proposed to be removed. Residents can now have their say on the plan.

A

school of just 81 children has taken out the top prize in the Southlands Shopping Centre Your Rewards campaign.

Orchard Hills Public School won $5,000 and an appearance by local Olympian Jessica Fox after parents, teachers and friends of the school accumulated the most reward dollars by simply shopping at Southlands.

Amazingly, this is the third straight year Orchard Hills Public School has won fi rst prize.

“Orchard Hills is an amazing community and for a school with only 81 students to win this is a tribute to the community and says a lot about the school,” relieving Principal, Fran Campbell said.

“We’ll be using the money on technology, to buy iPads. We are trying to get as many of those in the school as we can.”

Other winners included: York Public School who received $4,000, St Mary Mackillop Primary School who received $3,000, Pendragons Dragonboat Club who received $2,000, and Kingswood South Public School who received $1,000.

Southlands Marketing Manager, Natalie Philp, said she was extremely pleased with the number of schools and sporting groups that had registered to participate.

“Th is has been a great opportunity for Southlands to give back to the local community as well as a great opportunity for the local community to get behind and show their support for the schools and sporting clubs,” she said.

Celebrating 30 years: Local business continues to grow

F

or any business, celebrating a 30th birthday is a big deal and for the team at Penrith Jewellery Workshop, it’s confi rmation of the affi nity they have with the local area.

Penrith Jewellery Workshop is a unique jewellery store that has been located in Westfield Penrith for 30 years, specialising in remodelling and repairs.

Going from strength to strength, the local family-owned business has achieved plenty in its 30-year history.

Not least of all was the achievement just this month of being invited to be part of the fi rst group of retail jewellers to visit

the richest diamond mine in the world.

In October the fi rst group of Australian and New Zealand jewellers visited the new “Diamond Capital of the World” Gaborone, the capital of Botswana.

Shaun and Glennys Nolan, who started the business back in 1983, travelled to South Africa and across the border into Botswana. The group were given a complete tour of the complex and were allowed to handle and examine some beautiful, very large diamond crystals.

Come into the store to see a selection of some of the beautiful diamonds purchased on their recent trip.

Every step counts: Emma’s fight for a diabetes cure KATHERINE TWEED

E Face painting will be part of the fun at the Pet Fun Days in Penrith this weekend.

Fun for your pets: Giveaways, contests and plenty of laughs

P

enrith’s passionate pet lovers are invited to enjoy a weekend of fun at the expense of Petbarn Penrith Coreen.

The Coreen Avenue store will be hosting two Pet Fun Days on Saturday, November 2 and Sunday, November 3, which will be full of activities for the whole family to enjoy.

“Pet Fun Days are the perfect excuse for us to share our passion for pets with Penrith Valley locals,” said Patrick Bartush, Store Manager of Petbarn Penrith Coreen.

“We’ll be hosting some great activities

to keep the family entertained and welcome pet owners to bring their leashed pets into our store to join in the festivities.”

There will be a sausage sizzle, colouring competition, face painting and a number of guessing competitions as well as other activities.

In addition, the store will have “massive sales” and free giveaways throughout the day, so it’s a must for the whole pet-loving family.

Visit Petbarn Penrith Coreen, 1/117 Coreen Ave Penrith over the weekend or call 4731 6044 for more information.

mma Hogan is confident that with time, the support of the community and research funding, thousands of people like herself can be cured from type one diabetes.

After her diagnosis four years ago at age seven, the Glenmore Park girl has been advocating for funding and awareness on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), hoping to do her bit in the search to fi nd a cure.

Emma has been busily raising funds to donate to the organisation in the lead-up to the ‘Walk to Cure Diabetes’, which she will be taking part in on Sunday, November 10.

“I am looking forward to the walk because I am making lots of money so that we can fi nd a cure for type one diabetes,” she said.

“It is important that we raise money because lots of kids and adults suffer from type one diabetes. They need to take needles all the time and if we had a cure, it would raise their quality of life.”

From 10.30am on Sunday, November 10, Emma will be walking with hundreds of others at Paramatta Park in Australia’s biggest event for those who share the hope for a better life for people with type one diabetes.

The walk raises awareness of the disease whilst raising money to fund JDRF’s researchers.

Emma is raising funds through her donation page, which you can search for through the Walk to Cure Diabetes web page, walk.jdrf.org.au, and through her

own fundraising efforts at school.

Emma was supported by her school, Surveyors Creek Public School last week when a mufti day was held to raise money for the student’s cause.

The mufti day raised around $600 and had a special visitor, the JRDF’s mascot, Jasper the Jelly Baby.

“After this I know now that people care about me and that everyone supports me in a way. It is really good,” she said.

Standing out

Success

O

ne of the hardest aspects of running a business is to stand out from the crowd. Do you follow the trends of your industry in order to be recognised by your target market? Or do you work that bit harder to forge a new path and create a different and memorable business? Here are some tips if you want to be one of the exceptional ones: • Surround yourself with success. People who ‘bring you down’ are not good for you in general, but are particularly toxic to your business success. Make wise choices that will positively affect your motivation and inspiration.

• Be obsessed about your service or product. If you don’t love it, how do you expect your customers to rave about it?

• Stretch yourself. Always be prepared to do things you logically think you are not ready for. Push yourself to learn and move outside your comfort zone.

• Hire great talent and train them well. As amazing as you are, you are not the best at everything! So invest in your staff and do your utmost to retain the best people.

• It’s okay to make mistakes. Dwell on your mistakes only for as long as you need to draw out the learning experiences. Adjust what you need to, don’t repeat the mistake and move on.

• Continuous personal growth is key to long-term business success. If you don’t grow, your business won’t either.

I

f you read this column often, you can probably tell that I have been researching what successful people do and in particular their traits. You can know all the tips and tricks in the world to apply in your business, but there also needs to be some qualities that you possess within to be successful.

I think it’s great advice to pass on because it can help you value your particular habits or traits that you live by.

So I have compiled some traits of successful people, some light-hearted and some more serious: • They work hard: The assumption that people with money don’t work hard is so far from the truth.

• Live outside of their comfort zones: Don’t be afraid to fail, live and learn.

• Never content: Challenge ideas, there is always room for improvement.

• Be Yourself: Speaks for itself, don’t be fake.

• Repeat past successes: If it ain’t broke, don’t fi x it.

Within reason of course, adapting to new tricks and technology is important too.

• Spend with rewards in mind: Not all rich people started with lots of cash. Any means that will extend the value of a dollar spent is taken into consideration.

• Accept quitting: Successful people aren’t afraid to stop what isn’t working. Be honest with yourself.

• Say ‘no’ more often than ‘yes’: Don’t hesitate to say ‘no’ to things that will inhibit your path to success.

• Invest early and often: Compound your empire.

SENIOR LIVING

by Tim Reid

Do you have Will power?

D

id you know more than 40 per cent of people pass away without a useable Will?

If you pass away ‘intestate’ (without a valid Will), the distribution of your assets is decided by law – which varies according to the state you live in.

Having a valid Will means your assets will be allocated in accordance with your wishes and is likely to be more tax effective for your family.

The National Will Registry provides access to professional advice to help you work through all the issues associated with making a Will, as well as lodging your Will.

The cost for a single person to make a Will, with The Will Registry, is $11 annually. Th is is a small price to pay for peace-of-mind that your family will not have to search for your wishes through the grieving process.

With the Will Registry, your loved ones have the ability to locate your Will instantly, anytime and anywhere, after your passing.

When subscribed to the Will Registry, you are entitled to unlimited edits to your documents’ location or details.

Wills should be updated when life circumstances change, (eg; divorce, death of a relative or beneficiary, moving house etc).

The benefits of using the Will Registry include:

• Safe and secure place to store legal fees such as trust deeds, leases etc • Secure and confident ial • Unlimited online ability to edit your details • Cost effective – less than $20 for a year of unlimited access to your records • Certainty as to distribution of your estate • National Database can be accessed worldwide Most people spend all their working lives to create assets, but give little thought to the distribution of those assets when they pass away.

It makes sense that all legal documents indicating distribution of assets are located in one easy to fi nd place so that family members are not burdened with sourcing all relevant details.

To fi nd out more about the Will Registry head to your computer and visit www.thewillregistry.com.au.

Ms Carter has been engaged as part of the marketing campaign launching the new look LA-Z-BOY brand and is featured fronting a

number of television commercials and print advertisements.

“Come meet Bridie in person, and hear what she has to say about LA-Z-BOY and why she has chosen to help promote it,” said a representative from Recline Furniture.

The brand’s image is most often associated with recliner chairs featuring a lever on the side and although this is an image the brand is proud of, there have been a number of changes making this image not entirely accurate.

While comfort and quality are the hallmarks of this brand, LA-Z-BOY Furniture now prides itself on its diverse and ever expanding product range.

As of this weekend, the local community will now have access to a wide range of LA-Z-BOY

Furniture, including contemporary styled sofas, lounge suites, ottomans, luxury power recliners and chic Nordic Furniture designs from Denmark.

Bridie Carter is a recognised face on Australian television, having appeared in the hit show ‘McLeod’s Daughters’ as well as ‘Wild Boys’ for the Seven Network and ‘Rescue: Special Ops’ for the Nine Network.

She is also a regular on the Australian theatre circuit.

In 2007, she won the seventh season of ‘Dancing with the Stars’ with her dance partner, Craig Monley.

NATURAL THERAPIES

Are you your own doctor?

Don’t complicate things

Shooting the messenger

T

here has been quite a buzz about the ‘Catalyst’ show on the ABC last week. The show put forward the argument that if you have been taking medication to lower cholesterol then you may be doing a whole lot more harm than good. It’s called ‘heart of the matter’ which is available on iview.

If it is correct it is basically saying that many medical professionals have been prescribing Statin medication under the incorrect assumption that cholesterol is bad for you. But even more disturbingly it also suggests that this incorrect assumption is actually being perpetuated, even promoted by companies that are making hundreds of billions of dollars from the mistake!

Understandably it has people talking and upset – to think that there are decisions being made in a board room somewhere that has profit being chosen over people’s lives is very unsettling on many levels.

Companies with that sort of money actually influence medical ‘fact’. Universities teach from studies that are conducted by these same companies. Many institutions also receive massive funding and support from them.

So the show raises questions on how naive we are being, in assuming that what our doctors are learning and considering as ‘best practice’ is completely independent from pharmaceutical company influence.

There is an interview with a very uncomfortable chairman of the heart foundation asking why they recommend their guidelines on low fat and cholesterol.

His answers actually leave you more confused and very unconvinced.

As I have said before, your health always comes down to you. You are responsible for it. Even the smartest health professional in the world is still just human. Learn to trust your body. Socrates said it thousands of years ago: “If you are not your own doctor, you are a fool”.

his week local business owner Jeff Phillips has written in a column for us for a new point of view...

I’m an avid reader of this column and I couldn’t agree more with David’s advice! Physical activity needs to be enjoyable. The fitness industry has a tendency to over complicate things!

Is it really necessary to balance one legged on a bosu ball swinging a kettlebell, whilst wearing a power breathing mask to complete your workout of the day whilst posting it all on Facebook? No! How about just fi nd an open area with some mates and go kick a ball?

Dave recently mentioned martial arts as an option and again I couldn’t agree more. I have spent the past 30+ years doing just that. Like anything in life, people need to be educated to make informed choices about what they are doing. Martial arts can be split into three broad categories, self defence, sport and art. All three are very different.

Real Self Defence is all about managing violent confrontations. No rules, straight to the point, replicating real world violence. Th ink Krav Maga, Combatives and Senshido.

Art is all the traditional, cultural and spiritual ancient movements such as katas, controlling force and breaking boards etc. Kung Fu, Karate, Tai Chi are examples Sport is a physical contest with distinct rules.

Examples include MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ, Tae Kwon Do, Boxing and Judo.

You need to decide what your objective is and choose accordingly. All of them will develop your fitness in some capacity, some more than others.

Stay safe! Jeff Phillips: www.kravwest.com.au.

o you suffer from Heartburn, Reflux, Colitis, Ulcerative Colitis or Crohn’s Disease? Did you know that these conditions can be cured and that the usual treatments actually cause the condition to continue and even get worse?

The usual treatment for GORD or Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disease while seemingly helps to reduce the symptoms, actually causes serious damage to the gall bladder/pancreas region resulting in much worse damage later on in life.

Symptoms are not diseases.

Ant-acids and proton pump inhibitors are both not the answer and not completely necessary as they are not treating the cause. The symptoms are not the disease they are the result of a process and your body’s only way of telling you something is wrong and needs fix ing.

Unfortunately we “fi x” the problem by shooting the messenger, not by seeking out the source and fi xing that.

Reflux is not caused by too much acid, it is caused by insufficient acid when food is in the stomach and therefore food ferments causing gas which has to be eliminated thus causing heartburn and reflux. Lowering the acid in the stomach merely increases the fermentation and, while it stops the food and acid being burped up it ends up damaging the exit area from the stomach resulting in gall bladder, pancreas and small intestine problems a bit later on – not one of the brightest solutions you will admit!

It is the same with inflammatory bowel diseases. These are never treated at the cause and the anti-inflammatory drugs do more damage than good and the ultimate answer as far as the specialists go is to remove the bowel – brilliant solution? No. All these conditions can and should be treated by natural means and diet.

FASHION FIXATION

by Katherine Tweed

Open your eyes to blogging

I

n a serious lack of fashion inspiration this week, I began trawling through all avenues to fi nd something that I could slip into and smile.

I dug up old fashion magazines, fl icked through books laying around and people-watched until I couldn’t stand to see another midriff or ill-fitting pair of shorts.

Fed up and feeling just as uninspired as when I began, I hopped onto the net (the one thing which I had hoped to avoid) and typed “fashion” into the search bar.

A whole new world revealed itself to me at that moment; the world of fashion blogging.

I have never been a stranger to the Internet, in fact I am constantly using it for work, to catch up with friends and to keep up with the happenings of the world but I have never ventured into the world of blogs.

I know too many people (my mum and my sister are the fi rst that come to mind) who are addicted to blogs of all kinds so I have purposely kept my distance... Until now.

In a fit of despair, I clicked a link, followed by another link, and another, until before I knew it three hours had passed and I was feeling like I could conquer the world.

I may have looked through hundreds of blogs, I honestly couldn’t tell you but what I can say is that there is something special about looking at pictures and reading the thoughts of a seemingly ordinary person, like yourself, and feeling inspired.

Of the many that I searched through, my favourites were the ones with lots of pictures, a little bit of humour, links to where you could fi nd similar or the same items featured in the post and the odd deviation from generic fashion ‘news’.

I won’t tell you my favourites and I won’t point you in a particular direction only because I think the beauty of the blog-world is discovering it for yourself.

Happy trawling!

Grow your business

Itchy seasons!

A

J

ny business looking to grow will inevitably face the tough task of prioritising which business assets or ventures to invest in.

There’s usually a wish list a mile long, but the reality is you’ll need to identify the ones that give you the best return on your money.

Once you know what you want to invest in, you then need to decide the best way to fi nance this growth: • Do you purchase equipment or hire it?

• Do you pay up front or get credit?

• What if your business income is uncertain or seasonal, how will that affect your ability to make repayments?

• Are there tax considerations?

Every business is different. And there are a number of different ways to fi nance the growth of your business. Which is why having the help and support of a good bank manager can be such a critical component of your business’ success.

I’m the Owner-Manager of BOQ Penrith and as a small business owner myself, I understand the needs and challenges that come with owning a business. I know how important it is to have fle xible business partners that can change and adapt as your business needs change.

As a business owner, I also have the incentive to go above-and-beyond for my customers. To give them the personalised service that keeps them coming back. Their satisfaction directly impacts the success of my business.

But as part of the larger BOQ network, I also have access to experts such as those in BOQ Finance who are equipment fi nance specialists that have a real understanding of various markets. So drop in today!

ust like humans, our pets may suffer from skin allergies that often manifest as itchiness, redness and hot skin.

Allergies are an extreme reaction by the body’s immune system to certain triggers called allergens. In dogs and cats these allergens are usually dust mites, plant pollens, grasses, moulds and fleas.

Spring and summer are particularly bad seasons for skin problems in pets. The warm weather and humidity causes the emergence of a large flea population and blossoming plants release more pollen into the air.

When animals suffer from allergies they will chew their feet, rub their faces, gnaw at or obsessively lick their skin.

These actions worsen inflammation and cause broken skin which leads to infection.

If your pet shows any of these signs, they may be suffering from allergies.

There are many different medications available to help control your pet’s symptoms. Fleas will worsen allergies, and are often the primary culprit.

People commonly react and treat fleas in summer when they are visible on the pet. As fleas can breed all year round (even in winter), it is especially important to maintain year round flea control to prevent a flea outbreak during the warmer months.

A small percentage of dogs and cats also suffer from food allergies. Unlike seasonal allergies, food allergies are generally present all year round and are not affected by season.

Even pets that have been fed the same diet throughout their entire life may develop a food allergy.

If you feel your pet may be suffering from a skin problem, please contact Coreen Avenue Veterinary Clinic on 4731 3055 so we can tailor a program to make your pet more comfortable.

Teach us to pray For many like Doctor Stone, prayer is the last hope when all else fails.

Yet, the Bible and the experience of Christians throughout the centuries shows how prayer is a crucial, normal part of a growing relationship with God. In the Bible, Jesus’ disciples ask him, “Teach us to pray”. Jesus gives them a great model for prayer, a prayer which many today know as the ‘Lord’s Prayer’. Jesus

contains a desire for God’s ways to be seen on earth. It looks to God to provide us with our daily needs. It calls on God to forgive us, just as we should forgive those who wrong us. Finally, there is a humble cry for God to keep us away from temptations that would take us away from Him. Regular prayer like this will help you focus your life on our loving God and His purposes for you.

With interest rates sitting at historical lows, and lenders proving they are hungry for business, now may be a great time to consider your property options.

Of course buying property, particularly if it’s your first, can be a daunting prospect but, provided you set achievable goals, do your due diligence and seek professional advice, home ownership can be a rather fulfilling and enjoyable experience.

Save a substantial deposit: Most banks will lend up to 95% of a property’s value, but you should also be prepared for the additional costs associated with property ownership such as stamp duty and legal fees, etc. Your mortgage broker will be able to help you determine how much you will need to save depending on your circumstances.

Find out if you are eligible for government grants or concessions: In New South Wales a $15,000 First Home Owner Grant is available for eligible first home buyers who buy or build new properties valued up to $650,000.

Consider Lenders Mortgage Insurance (LMI): As a borrower, if you do not have a deposit of at least 20%, you can be forced to pay LMI. This insures your lender, protecting them against any loss incurred if you default on your loan. While LMI does not protect you as the borrower, it can potentially help you purchase property sooner if you have a smaller deposit. However, it is important to weigh up your options carefully and consider whether or not it is right to pay LMI and jump in now, or hold off, watch the property market and save a larger deposit.

Let your mortgage broker do the legwork: Choosing the right home loan is an extremely important part of the home buying process. At no cost to you, a broker can walk you through the mortgage minefield and help you find the right home loan for your needs – often saving you a great deal of time and money.

Get ahead with pre-approval: Before hitting the pavement in search of your new home, consider getting pre-approval. This will give you a good idea of your borrowing capacity and save you from looking at properties that aren’t in your price range. Contact your local mortgage broker to obtain home loan pre-approval.

Contact Rob Lees and the team at Mortgage Choice in Blaxland and Penrith for help with any property investment and home loan questions you may have.

Kristi proves she’s best in town!

Kristi Towns wins Colin Bruce Award and praise from industry peers

L

ocal conveyancing business owner, Kristi Towns has been in business for less than two years and has already been given the tick of approval from clients, peers and now, industry professionals.

Mrs Towns and her business, Towns Conveyancing Services, was recently nominated by clients and peers for the prestigious Colin Bruce Award for the Australian Institute of Conveyancers NSW. She was chosen as one of fi ve nominees to be recognised as an outstanding new business that has shown initiative in marketing techniques and provides excellent customer service before taking out the award on Saturday, October 19.

“I was blown away by the generosity of my clients and contacts. To be recognised and appreciated by clients and peers, you can’t get better than that,” Mrs Towns said.

Although Mrs Towns was thrilled to hear that she was nominated for the award alone, winning the award was something extra special.

“For me to win the award, that was the icing on top of the cake. I didn’t expect to win. This is so important to me because it is recognition of what I do throughout the whole industry,” she said.

Mrs Towns was also recognised as a finalist in the Outstanding New Business category in this year’s Local Business Awards.

Recognised by her peers: Kristi Towns.

Established over 20 years ago, Advanced Airbrush began with owners Wayne and Joanne Harrison’s passion for art. Known for their reality TV show ‘Flesh Air’, car and bike art and Virgin Blue, Wayne and Joanne have decided to take a step back to where it all started; with Christmas Cutouts.

Born from years of taking their children around to various Christmas displays through the neighbourhood, Wayne and Joanne decided it was time to create their own Christmas cutouts.

The displays varied from Aussie themed to large sleighs and snowmen.

Today, Wayne and Joanne have decided to bring back their displays and share in the Christmas spirit again.

“I was speechless. I was just so amazed, I couldn’t believe I actually made it,” Gregory said.

“I liked how [futsal] was fast. It’s faster than outdoor, so as soon as you attack you have to be ready for them to counterattack,” Humphrey said.

Michael Clarke signs a cricket bat for a young fan.

A

ustralian cricket captain Michael Clarke showed off his handballing skills, of all things, when he visited Penrith last Saturday. Clarke was in town to launch the Michael Clarke Random Bounce Ball (MC RBB) at the new Amart Sports store in Henry Street.

Fans lined up as early as 7.30am to catch a glimpse of the cricketing legend, who signed autographs and posed for photos for one hour.

Harness Racing The Ross Hutchison Foundation and many of its sponsors were guests at the Penrith Paceway last Thursday night.

It was very pleasing to see so many interested people supporting Ross Hutchison in his charity endeavours.

Race one went to Western Union (odds of $4.90) who has been consistently up in the placegetters over the last few meetings. Driver Jim Douglas had him perfectly placed in the run and he fi nished strongly to defeat runner up Jerseylicious.

The Stingray ($2.20) aided by a great drive from Josh Willick made race two all his own. Josh in a lightning move took The Stingray from last to the lead very early, thus catching the opposition napping and then going on to a nice win.

Presidential Holme ($7.30) began well from the outside barrier in the third and after a short tussle was able to lead and win thus giving Jim Douglas a double for the night.

Race four saw Junior Johnson ($1.50) having his second run from a long spell

Clarke even managed to test out his injured back by playing a game of handball with local kids using the MC RBB. With the Australian leg of the Ashes Test Series with England beginning later this month, Clarke said he’s hopeful of getting back onto the pitch fit and healthy, sooner rather than later.

“My body is going pretty well at this stage,” he said.

“It’s exciting England have arrived [in the country] and we’ll be as prepared as we can be. We’re looking forward to the series.”

Lorraine Pozza go straight to the lead and give driver Blake Fitzpatrick the easiest of wins.

It really was a one horse affair with no serious challengers making any headway on him.

The Cowboy ($7.90), having his fir st run from a long spell, upset the favourite Ruinate in race five. Driver Nick Zbiljic had to pull out all stops to just get home from Ruinate who had to come from a long way back.

Hi Rollin Joker ($7.50) was given the run of the race by Gavin Fitzpatrick in the one out one back spot in race six and was able to win from Chevalhardcash who worked hard outside the leader for the entire journey.

Race Seven was the lucky last and the favourite Respected ($1.70), sent punters home happy and give Josh Willick a winning double.

From barrier two Josh had little trouble in leading the race and although runner up Rock Post Scissors made a move turning for home he was never really in doubt.

Mick Gilfoyle Fenech and Wayne Rixon by the shortest of margins 22-21. Wayne was holding shot and game after a great shot to move the jack. Spook with his last bowl played and it looked for all money going into the ditch. However his bowl struck Wayne’s and took shot and title. Very unforgiving game, bowls! In the fi nal of the Mixed Pairs it was tight and tough going to start off with but eventually Cathy Kivilcim and Bill McNeilly pulled away to a very comfortable win over Jo Johansson and Rob Scerri 22-11 The Zone 5 BA has been rocked by the sudden death of Match Chairman John Long (Campbelltown).

There is not enough room in this column to sing his praises; we had our differences over the many years, but let me tell you everything he did, he did for the betterment of bowls not only in Zone 5 but within the State.

To wife Joan the district passes on its deepest sympathy. Vale Longy.

recent Panthers on the Prowl leadership program to the famous Kokoda Trail has been branded a “success” by Prowl General Manager, Brad Waugh.

Last month, Mr Waugh along with corporate executives, Penrith Panthers players Tim Grant and Jamie Soward, coach Ivan Cleary and seven Year 11 high school students tackled the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea.

Mr Waugh said the six day trek, designed to test leadership and teamwork qualities, was “extremely positive”.

“We took seven Year 11 boys up, one from each high school in the area, and they all performed magnificently,” he said.

“We designed the trek to be quite challenging. We condensed what was supposed to be a 10 day trek into six days.

“There was one day where we hiked for 16 hours, so it was quite physical and a mental test for them but they dug deep and really did themselves proud.”

According to Mr Waugh, each day began at

The group from Panthers with some of the locals in Papua New Guinea.

3.30am and an average trek would last 12 hours. There was only one evacuation due to dehydration and foot infections and everyone proudly walked together from start to fin ish.

“That was the most impressive thing, the players I took were terrific and walked alongside the kids,” he said.

“I think everyone had a mental battle but the players did themselves proud.”

Mr Waugh thanked the following corporate executives for sponsoring the students on the trek: Martin Cominotto from Martin’s Chemist, Craig Thompson from Hertz Penrith and Brad Draper from Newport Recruitment.
