Community Needs More Detail on Airport Now that a decision to build Sydney’s second airport at Badgerys Creek has been announced, we wait for more detailed plans to be revealed. Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said that Council had made numerous calls for details on the range and scope of the airport to be revealed so that proper planning for infrastructure could be started in earnest. “Council conducted a community opinion survey recently and found 7 out of 10 local residents indicated that Penrith would be better off with the development of the airport at Badgerys Creek,� Cr Fowler said. “Council has consistently called for more information on the second Sydney airport proposal and these results are indicative of a community which is awaiting this information.� Prime Minister Tony Abbott last month announced more than $3 billion will be spent on roads in Western Sydney to support the city’s second airport, and that is a good start,� Cr Fowler said. “There will undoubtedly be economic benefits from the airport, but those benefits must accrue to the local community as well as the region and NSW,� he said. “In order for the benefits to flow to the people of Penrith, proper infrastructure provision must be made to support the airport and Western Sydney. “There will also be social and environmental impacts and these also need to be addressed.� Cr Fowler said that when more detail on the Badgerys Creek airport and its associated infrastructure is released, Council will be able to inform and engage further with our community.

EMU PLAINS ANGLICAN CHURCH (St Pauls) Rev Roger Cunningham P: 4735 1001 E: office@emuplains.anglican.asn.au W: www.emuplains.anglican.asn.au Service Times: Sundays @ 8:00am, 9:30am and 6:30pm Plus activities for adults and young people throughout the week

Families and Children Everywhere Did you know our area has loads of children. In fact, one quarter of the people who live here are school age or younger! There are young children who haven’t started school. There are children in primary school. There are students at High School. The last ABS census (2011) shows we have a greater proportion of households with children in them than Australia generally, and a greater proportion of children. What an awesome privilege as a community. If there’s any truth to that old saying ‘It takes a village to raise a child’, we’ve got our work cut out for us! Whatever our situation, whether parents or grandparents, or without children ourselves, we can influence and serve these children and families as a community. Families and parents don’t need to go it alone. As a church we’re playing our part as well. We’ve seen some significant growth in the number of children and students involved on a Sunday and during the week over the last few years, and it’s our pleasure to serve our community as these children and students grow up into tomorrows adults. If we can serve you and your family through the activities we have for children, students and families, we’d love to do just that. Why not check out our web page, or give us a call.

Next Generation of City Leaders Future politicians have a chance to dabble in local government – in a competition for local primary school pupils. As part of Local Government Week 2014, Penrith City Council is giving lucky students the opportunity to be Junior Mayor or Junior Councillors and take part in a mock Council meeting. Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said the competition provides a unique opportunity for primary students to learn about the role of Council. “We’re giving one lucky student the chance to be Junior Mayor and 14 others the chance to be Junior Councillors,” Cr Fowler said. “I wish there had been a competition like this when I was growing up. It’s a fantastic opportunity for our young residents.” To enter the competition, students need to outline two things they would do to make the City of Penrith a better place to live, if they were Mayor. Entries must fit on one A4 piece of paper, or be an audio visual file. They can be a story, poem, an artwork or comic strip. “I’m looking forward to seeing the entries,” Cr Fowler said. “We’re always looking for good advice from the community – no matter the age of residents.” Entries must be submitted by Friday 30 May 2014. The winning Junior Mayor and Junior Councillors need to be available to attend introductory meetings at Council’s Civic Centre on Monday 16 June and Monday 14 July 2014. The mock Council meeting will be held on Monday 11 August 2014. For more details on how to enter, go to penrithcity.nsw.gov.au. Photo caption: Here is last year’s mock Council meeting in action. The 2014 competition is now open.

London Calling The mods and rockers answering the best of 1960s British Style The Lindy Charm School for Girls and the Gallery have teamed up again to bring you a series of tantalizing, engaging and fun Vintage Styling Workshops to broaden your looks for 2014.. Last year we covered the 40's and 50's and now let us introduce our new hands on workshops covering the 30's and the 60's with a geographical twist.. – Shanghai Styling and London Calling. Inspired by Will and Kate’s visit and the Queens’s Birthday celebration the Gallery has programmed a special regal styling session. Grab your Go Go Boots, shift dresses and eyeliner and take a trip back to the best of the 60s retro and on trend looks for today. The Lindy Charm School for Girls will take you on a road trip of the fashion styles, hair and makeup and how you can achieve these looks today with little or no fuss. The mid 1950s to the early 1960s era was a time of transition. The wholesome mindset of the early 50s was being taken over by the revolutionary attitude of the mid 60’s. Women began to show off their sexier sides while still holding on to most of their morally rigid ideals. With the introduction of shorter hairstyles, makeup increasingly emphasized the eyes. The doe-eyed look of mascara-outlined eyes with slightly elongated corners was accentuated by thickly pencilled eyebrows. The mods and rockers were two conflicting British youth subcultures of the early to mid-1960s. The rocker subculture was centered on motorcycling, and their appearance reflected that. The mod subculture (modernist) was centered on fashion and music, and many mods rode scooters. Mods wore suits (often tailor-made) and other clean-cut outfits, and preferred 1960s music genres such as soul, rhythm and blues, ska and beat music. Mods favoured trendy, "hyper-cool" styles, a bit like the hipsters of today. As Chrissy Keepence from the Charm school states I believe that vintage fashions, charm, etiquette, manners, poise and posture never really go out of fashion but rather are overshadowed by current trends and commercial viabilities. I think it is the timeless elegance and romantic notions of the past we like to hang on to, as our worlds are so complex, rushed, competitive and shambolic at times. The workshop is open to women from fourteen years and beyond, come solo and meet new friends or plan a day out with a girlfriend, mother, or daughter for an afternoon of oldschool fun. These 3 hour sessions provide simply fabulous, insightful and hands-on lessons in perfecting your vintage inspired looks and reviving the beauty, fashion and charm of women as they lived in decade’s gone by. Participants will learn is how to apply modern day make up with the tips and tricks to help you recreate vintage inspired looks in no time at all.

PARENTS CORNER Article by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) NepeanStudent-Wellbeing Worker – Mulgoa Public School Nepean Community & Neighbourhood Services Ph: 0409 986 121 Centre: 4721 8520 Blog: http://handsheartsminds.wordpress.com

Frequently I write this article based on what I’ve been talking with parents about during the month. This month, I have been talking a lot about some of the most basic parenting tools for your toolkit which are also highly effective. They all come from the Triple P parenting group. Tool number 1 Remind your children of ‘what to do’ rather than ‘what not to do’. Instead of saying “don’t run”, say “walk”. Instead of saying “don’t hit”, say “hands to self”. When you use the negative, ie, “run”, “hit”, children don’t hear the “don’t”, they just hear “run” and “hit”. Tool number 2 Descriptive praise is very powerful. Saying ‘good boy/girl’ makes your kids praise junkies. They love it, but they never quite understand what they’ve done well. Descriptive praise tells children what they are doing well. Examples, “thanks for picking up your socks, and putting them in the wash basket, that helps me out heaps”, “I really like how you kept going on that task until you got it just the way you wanted it”, You thought really carefully about that before you did it, I admire that”. Tool number 3 The more attention you pay to children’s behaviours, the more of them they will do. This is based on 40 years of research, it’s not earth mother or hippie-la-la stuff. So, if you pay a lot of attention to your child’s negative behaviours, what do you think will happen? Yes, they will do more of them. Think about it – you would hate being reminded of all of the times you stuff up – doesn’t make you feel good about yourself does it? Choose one of your child’s behaviours that drives you bonkers. Got it? OK, now think of the opposite behaviour. Now start paying more attention to the opposite behaviour (the positive one) with descriptive praise. An example, if your child speaks too loudly, then instead of rousing on him for being too loud, give him descriptive praise every time he speaks quietly. Tool number 4 If you call your child ‘naughty’ often enough, he or she will prove you right. And that goes for any other negative name that you call your child – clumsy, hopeless, lazy, etc. Words are powerful, especially when they are coming from you. Children internalise the negatives we say to them or call them. Say them often enough, and you are digging a pit of shame for your child so deep and so wide, it will take them a lifetime to crawl out of it. Shaming a child causes mental health problems later in life. Super Nanny did parenting a great disservice. Get rid of that ‘naughty’ corner/chair/mat. Do it right now!!! Call it a ‘calm down zone’ or ‘chill-out chair’. Be creative but make it positive. Remove ‘naughty’ and ‘bad’ from your vocabulary. And now for your challenge…Put these 4 tools into action at your place, and see how things change for the better. But wait, there’s more! If you can’t get to the 6 week Triple P parenting group, I am offering the Triple P seminars in May. Come to one or all of them. 12th May – The power of positive parenting 19th May – Raising confident and competent children 26th May – Raising resilient children Go to handsheartsminds.wordpress.com/parenting-groupsand-workshops for more details. “Like” us on FaceBookhttps:// www.facebook.com/ParentingInPenrith

Top Maths Students Excel McCarthy Catholic College Year 7 students displayed their numerical skills and problem solving abilities during a MATHS DAY. Students collaborated in teams of four to comprehend mathematical challenges and resolve solutions. Problem solving is central to the stimulating learning and teaching of mathematics provided by ‘The World of Maths’ travelling show which participated in MATHS DAY. Students were required to think logically and apply mathematics to ‘hands on’ practical problems. Students needed to discover ‘number patterns and identify geometric properties’. ‘Having fun’ was an essential aspect of the day and this was obviously displayed by the exuberant group chatter and cheers when solutions proved effective! ‘I never knew Maths could be like this’, Year 7 student Gabrielle Gregory exclaimed! Over 30 mathematical puzzles were solved by excited Year 7 students. The major challenge of MATHS DAY was to plan and construct a tower built entirely of straws. The winning tower was over TWO METRES high and established a new record! Another group set a new record by completing a set of challenges in the fastest time! ‘Our Year 7 students showed great determination to solve these problems’, said Samantha Coultas, a very proud Maths Coordinator. Math teacher, Liz Heggart said ‘The Year 7 students at McCarthy this year were very involved in the activities throughout the day. They worked together in teams with amazing outcomes! The Year 10 students from the advanced classes worked extremely well with the Year 7 students and guided them towards the solution when necessary. ‘A top experience!’ said Year 7 Darcy White.

Staying Hydrated With the onset of winter it is easy to forget that our body still needs to be hydrated. Maybe you do not feel hot and thirsty however your body consistently requires water to maintain health, no matter what the season. Exposure to heaters such as air conditioners, gas, oil, electric and wood heaters has a very drying effect on the body. The moisture lost needs to be replaced. The human body is approximately 60% water however this varies depending on age, sex, adiposity & hydration level. Your organs, muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints all need water to function properly. Water keeps your skin supple, helps to maintain correct mineral and electrolyte balance, helps to prevent hair from drying and splitting & helps to maintain the acid/alkaline balance in your body. Your blood is made up of approximately 60% water. Once you start to feel thirsty, you have already lost around 2-3% of your body’s water. Mental performance and physical coordination start to become impaired before thirst kicks in, typically around 1% dehydration. It is quite possible that if you are feeling a bit light headed or you are just not thinking clearly, you may be dehydrated. Water –structured water, filtered water, alkaline water etc. drinking water, whole house systems -the choices are endless – make sure you do your research. Whatever you decide, remember you need to stay hydrated.

Boosting superannuation savings while cutting tax might sound too good to be true, but for the over 55’s the Transition to Retirement pension is a legitimate strategy than can deliver extra benefits. The TTR pension was originally introduced to assist people wanting to ease their way out of the workforce. You could work part time and top up your salary with income from your super. But with a TTR pension you can also work full time, top up your super balance and draw a tax-free income. This is how it works. An individual who has reached preservation age (currently 55 years) and is under 65 salary sacrifices into their super fund at the same time as drawing income from it via a TTR pension. You may be asking, what’s the point of doing that? Tax Concessions By replacing salary income with pension income, and redirecting some of your salary to super, you effectively take advantage of low tax rates inside super. Depending on your circumstances the strategy may improve your net income, reduce your tax and increase your end retirement benefit. Whereas salary income is taxed at personal marginal tax rates, salary sacrifice super contributions are taxed at a maximum of 15 per cent. This is potentially lower than the tax charged if salary income is received in the hand. Once you turn 60 income stream payments are tax free. A further bonus comes from paying zero tax on the investment earnings of assets supporting the TTR income stream. Because of the potential tax benefits of putting money into super, there are caps on the concessional contributions you can make each year which includes salary sacrificed as well as the superannuation guarantee paid by an employer. The annual general concessional contributions cap is $25,000 for the 2013-14 year. A special concessional cap of $35,000 applies to anyone aged 59 years or over on 30 June 2013. If you would like to discuss how the TTR strategy might work for you, don’t hesitate to call. How it Works Jim, 55, earns $100,000 a year and has $220,000 in super. He wants to keep working full-time for a few years to boost his

retirement savings. The strategy: Jim transfers most of his super to an accountbased pension where he no longer pays tax on investment earnings; he salary sacrifices a large amount into super which saves income tax, but reduces his take-home pay; he withdraws a minimum of four per cent up to 10 per cent of his pension balance each year, which boosts his overall income back to his current level. The benefits: Jim’s take-home income stays the same but he saves over $2000 in tax in the first year. This means he will have more money in super when he finally stops work. If Jim keeps the strategy going past age 60 his tax savings will be significantly greater as he will no longer pay tax on the pension income.
