Glenmore Parks Padre Pio Catholic Church is receiving an MBA Excellence in Construction Awards for a public building over $3 million. Local business support has played a large part in the church receiving the award. The church was completed before Christmas last year at a cost of $4.7 million.
Many areas of the construction were donated by local businesses and many aspects of the design created challenges for those fitting out the church. The Church is home for 700 Glenmore Park Catholics and the Church would like to thank all those who helped them during construction.

Dean and Denise from Dino’s Pizza started this event 5 years ago to raise funds to purchase vital medical equipment after their son Nicholas was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and was rushed to Nepean Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit. “We are still very keen to show our gratitude to the staff that saved our little boy” explains Dean and Denise Hodge from local pizza shop Dino’s Pizza. “We raised just over $7000 for the premature babies at Nepean Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with all car entrants paying $10 entry fee There were just over 200 cars entered into the competition and at least another 100 just on display!” Other funds were raised through raffle tickets and sales of tickets for children’s entertainment – face painting, jumping castle, animal petting zoo and the ever popular bungee trampoline. Australia hottest dance sensation “The Next Step” directed by Dein Perry of Tapdogs fame performed to large crowds over the course of the day. The cheques were presented to Raylene Vidler on behalf of Ronald McDonald House Westmead and Julie Clarke President of NNICUP’s. Together they will liaise with the NICU to determine the best needs for the funds. On behalf of Glenmore Park Town Centre Management, I would like to personally thank Dean and Denise for all their hard work and assistance. It is because of them that this event has become such a great success not to mention well noted event for the local community to get involved in. Lucia Eman

Crowds of people are racing around everywhere trying to find that right gift. There’s the end of year Christmas Parties. For those who are fortunate, there’s planning of holidays.

Then Boxing Day to relax and unwind and watch Australia do battle with England in the Melbourne Boxing Day Test Cricket match. In your planning for Christmas where does Church fit in? You might think it’s a strange question – church at Christmas? Why bother? At its heart, Christmas is a celebration; a celebration that God, in his great love and kindness towards all people, sent his Son, Jesus Christ, into our world so that you and I could have the free gift of eternal life. Because of this, we at Glenmore Park

Another win for Natasha Natasha Duarte has been awarded second place in the 2010 Australian Children’s Music Foundation National Songwriting Competition in which 11,000 schools across Australia took part. 15 year old Natasha from the Australian Institute of Performing Arts, Harris Park was awarded second place with her piece ‘Take It Away’. Natasha wrote it to perform with her band members. It is one of their songs on their new EP. An unprecedented number of Australian students from primary and secondary schools around the country entered the free songwriting competition this year with over $35,000 worth of prizes including music equipment, tuition and recording opportunities being awarded to the winners in the competition’s 12 categories. The judging was enhanced by the presence of Federal School Education, Early Childhood and Youth Minister and former Midnight Oil frontman, the Hon Peter Garrett MP. The Department of Education, Employment
and Workplace Relations is a major sponsor of the ACMF and Minister Garrett played an active role in determining some of the winning entries.
“I’m pleased my Department supports the ACMF’s National Songwriting Competition. The competition is important because it provides the opportunity for creative expression and lifts our spirits. We’ve got some talented students in our schools and the competition gives them a chance to have their music heard by leading professionals in the music industry,” said Minister
Garrett. Other leading professionals in the Australian music industry including Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson, Paulini, Mark Gable and Peter Northcote were joined by a number of ACMF Ambassadors to review the students work. ACMF Founder, Don Spencer OAM said “The competition gives kids a chance to write about their feelings and ideas and to celebrate their musical interests and talents. Beyond that, we’re reminding parents, teachers and policymakers that music plays an integral role in developing young minds and fostering better educational
outcomes, especially the areas of literacy and numeracy. ” The ACMF National Songwriting Competition is an annual, free competition open to every Primary, Secondary and Specific Purpose School across Australia (approximately 11,000 schools). In 2010, the competition was held for the 8th consecutive year. For a full list of winners please visit the ACMF website: www.acmf.com.au

New Child Restraint Laws The NSW Government has updated Child Restraint Laws, which commenced on 1st March 2010. The new Laws require ALL children under seven years of age to be secured in a suitable child restraint or booster seat when travelling in a vehicle. Drivers will need to ensure that children younger than four years of age do not travel in the front seat of a vehicle with two or more rows. Drivers will also need to ensure that children aged four years to under seven years of age do not travel in the front seat of a vehicle with two or more rows unless all other back seats are occupied by children younger than seven years. An unrestrained child sitting in the rear seat of a vehicle can hit the driver with force equivalent to the weight of a baby elephant. Surveys carried out by Kidsafe have found that some 69% of all child restraints inspected were found to be incorrectly fitted and some 25% would have put the child at risk of death or serious injury in an accident. Most importantly, properly fitted child restraints can reduce the risk of death
or serious injury in road crashes by up to 70%. It is therefore vitally important to have all child restraints fitted, if not inspected, by a trained professional. Beesafe Travel is an RTA Authorised Child Restraint & Seat Belt installation service, who have over 15 years experience in the professional fitting of child restraints. As Glenmore Park’s local authorised professionals, they operate a mobile service which comes to you and a standard installation starts from just $30. A small price to pay for maximum piece of mind.... Call Angela at 0404 132 208. See our advertisement on Page 14.

Christmas Card Competition Winner Glenmore Park Public School student Sarah Sorini is the winner of the 2010 Lindsay Christmas Card design competition. Sarah’s winning design of a Christmas tree was chosen out of hundreds of entries from local primary school students and now features on the front of Mr Bradbury’s Christmas cards for 2010. Sarah was awarded a $50 book voucher, as well as winning a $150 book voucher for her school. “I invited all year 4 primary school students in my electorate to submit a design for the cover of my 2010 Christmas cards,” said Mr Bradbury. “There were many outstanding entries, and I’d like to thank all the schools and their students who partici-
pated in the competition. “Sarah’s artwork was bright and cheerful and summed up the Christmas spirit, and I would like to congratulate her on winning this year’s competition.”

Padro Pio Parish There is a knock on Heaven’s door and St. Peter looks out and a man is standing there. St. Peter is about to begin his interview when the man disappears. A short time later there’s another knock. St. Peter gets the door, sees the man, opens his mouth to speak, and the man disappears once again. A few minutes later, another knock. Once again St. Peter opens the door and sees the same man. “Hey, are you playing games with me?” St. Peter calls after him. “No,” the man’s distant voice replies anxiously. “They’re trying to resuscitate me..” And so ends another year! This has been the quickest I remember a year passing! A lot has happened. We have a new church, a new hall, a new St Vincent de Paul conference, and lots of new people as numbers participating in the community are growing rapidly. Sadly, a number of people who were reading the Glenmore Gazette this time last year are now in Heaven (hopefully!) We have lost

Households Improve Efficiency with Government Rebates
Trade Training Centre Glenmore Park High School is excited about the new Trade Training Centre which will provide support for metals and engineering courses. Students at seven Western Sydney high schools are benefitting from a new Australian Government funded $7 million trade training centre opened by the Minister for School Education, Peter Garrett. “This project will deliver qualifications that will help address engineering skill shortages across Australia,” Mr Garrett said.
Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, Frank Sartor announced NSW households have now claimed more than 300,000 Government rebates to green their homes. “With the help of $140 million in NSW Government rebates to date, families in NSW are saving a combined 352,000 tonnes of carbon pollution and around four billion litres of water,” Mr Sartor said. “The rebates have provided an effective and helpful incentive for people to choose more environmentally-friendly options in their homes. “By targeting the biggest water and energy uses in the homes – such as hot water and toilet flushing – they are delivering the biggest savings.” Every NSW household can claim up to $1,500 worth of rebates, including: • $300 to replace an electric hot water system with climate-friendly solar, heat pump and 5 star gas hot water systems • up to $1500 for rainwater tanks that are connected to a washing machine and toilet • $35 to have your old second working fridge recycled (where Fridge Buyback is available www.fridgebuyback.com.au) • $200 for a 4 star dual flush toilet to replace a single Federal Minister for Education, Mr Peter Garrett with Mitchell Robinson and Sarah Ljubojevic (Captains of Glenmore Park High flush toilet School) • $150 for installing a hot water circulator unit for instantaneous gas hot water heaters. The Penrith Valley Trade Training Centre at CamRebates are one of many initiatives provided by the NSW bridge Park High School is providing qualifications up to Government to help businesses, pensioners and other low Certificate III in engineering for students. income earners save power, water and money on bills. The new $63 million Home Power Savings program is providing free energy assessments and power savings kits to 220,000 low income households, cutting power use by up to 20% and helping to keep power bills down.

Merry Christmas from Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital Staff Christmas Party Wow what a wonderful year we have had at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital, so many new changes and renovations. We had our work Christmas Party at the end of November, and we had a great time. We spent the day at The Hopewood Health Centre at Mulgoa. Not that we are health fanatics, but just wanted to enjoy a relaxing fun day at a day spa. We giggled our heads off during the yoga class, especially when Camille got stuck in the lotus position. We had lots of fun doing aqua aerobics, and Pete nearly emptied the pool with a dive bomb. We all had a Swedish massage and Carly was so relaxed she fell asleep and nearly fell off the table. Trent went back several times to the smorgasboard buffet lunch and then nearly sank to the bottom of the pool during an afternoon swim. After battling it out on the tennis court in a nail biting final, worthy of Wimbledon, Belinda and Justine thrashed Carly and Eden. We then had a 1 hour relaxing facial which we all enjoyed thoroughly, and we now look and feel 10 years younger. We then gave out our Secret Santa
Christmas presents, and we are still trying to work out who gave Justine the black and white teddy. Santa Photos With Your Pets Santa Claus will be visiting Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December to take photos with your pets. Santa will be here from Saturday 4th December until Saturday 18th December 2010. Photos of your pets are to be taken with Santa from Monday to Friday 5-6pm and on Saturdays 10am-12pm. No appointment is necessary for the Santa photos,
just drop in and don’t forget to bring your camera if you want extra photos. Safety for Your Pets During the Festive Season Snakes - The warmer weather means that snakes are emerging from hibernation. Be aware that we live in a semi-rural area, and snakes will be about. A snake bite to your pet can be deadly, so fast veterinary attention is required to administer snake antivenom.
Dangerous food items – Chocolate is toxic to dogs. Even if you do not feed your dog chocolate, they may have access to it in presents under the tree, Christmas tables, and in kids school bags. Early veterinary attention will ensure your dog vomits up the offending chocolate and your dog has a better chance of survival. - Fatty food – A large fatty meal to your dog or cat can result in a painful debilitating disease called pancreatitis. Do not feed your pets the fatty skin from the Christmas ham. Your dog will eat anything you offer, so a common rule of thumb is “if you would not eat it, then your pet should not eat it either”. - Cooked bones – Never feed your pets cooked bones, as they can cause a gastrointestinal upset and even a perforated bowel, resulting in a painful death. - Onions – The toxin destroys red blood cells resulting in anemia. - Grapes and raisins – The toxin damages the kidneys resulting in irreversible kidney failure and death. - Macadamia nuts – Results in vomiting and severe gastrointestinal upset. - Xylitol – a sugar free sweetener which stimulates insulin secretion resulting in low blood glucose. All the Staff at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital wish everyone and their pets a Safe and Merry Christmas! Thank you for your support over the last year, and have a wonderful New Year! Please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital. Call 4736 2027 to make an appointment.
