Why is it “Good Friday”?

At Easter many of us are hoping for some time off. But at Easter we also see the Churches talking about “Good Friday”. They talk about Good Friday as the day when around 2,000 years ago someone with the name of Jesus Christ died on a cross in a place called Israel.

Why do we call the day we remember someone who died 2000 years ago “Good Friday”? What is so “Good” about someone dying?

The Bible is very clear on why Jesus had to die. It tells us that “Christ died for our sins.” Sin is not something we like to talk about. Many people think of sin as something other people do; a bit like Bart Simpson who has a series of ready made excuses to get himself out of trouble; “I didn’t do it - nobody saw me do it - you can’t prove anything - I wasn’t there - it was like that when I got there!”

Yet, the Bible’s verdict and our own experience tell us that we are not the people we want to be. We are all too painfully aware of our short comings. The Bible says “we have all sinned and fall

short of the glory of God”. Sin breaks relationships. Our sin cuts us off from God. In fact the Bible says our sin actually makes us enemies with God. That is why Jesus’ death is so important. When Jesus died on the cross he took the punishment that should have been yours and mine. He died to offer us forgiveness and friendship with God - something we couldn’t have done when we were weighed down by our own sin.And Jesus did not stay dead!

On Easter Sunday we remember how Jesus was raised to life, how he

triumphed over death and how he offers new life, a fresh start, to anyone who puts their trust in him.So that is why they call it “Good Friday”!

This Easter we’d love to see you so you can take advantage of God’s offer of friendship to you and make it a “Good Friday” for you too!

Food Within Food Within Ltd is not-for-profit business supplying fresh food at affordable prices to people on low incomes. Alicia Martin stayed at home to care for one of their children, who has special needs and was feeding the family tuna pasta night after night and thinking to herself that she needed to do something to make healthy, fresh food affordable for families like her own.

Alicia’s vision was to change fresh, healthy food back from the luxury item it had become to the necessity it should be. She approached local shopkeepers to ask if they would cut her deals to package fresh food at fixed prices that were within the reach of people on low incomes. She was knocked back but eventually found a butcher willing to help. She then started buying fruit and vegies at Flemington markets and sourced pantry items from a wholesaler. From these suppliers, Alicia was able to build a business, a social enterprise, supplying pre-packaged fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and low-fat, additive-free pantry items. Her food packs provide three meals a day plus snacks for seven days for a family of four—that is, two adults and two children.

These packs sell for $153 per week to beneficiaries and slightly more to people who are waged. The packs are planned around menus which Alicia designs based on what is fresh at the markets, and these menus are also provided and are available for other household sizes.

The sale price of the packs just covers the cost

of the food. Alicia subsidises the food packages with cooking, basic budgeting and other classes that target disadvantaged residents through the local community service agencies, and then the income she earns from the classes goes to building the business.

Food Within seeks to help people who are motivated to change themselves and offers a 10 week program called Wings 2 Carry U. This program helps people who cannot afford the cost of the food packages and allows people in this situation to effectively barter their time and labour in return for a supply of the food packages. Alicia is also able to help with weight management and has lost 75 kg in weight herself!

This program starts with the packages being sold to participants at half the $153 cost.

In return, participants have to barter four hours of their time. Each week during the course of the 10-week program the cost of the food packages increases by $10 and the amount of labour which participants are required to barter is reduced proportionately. This continues until participants are paying the full amount. At the same time, they are required to undertake basic budgeting and other life skills programs which Alicia provides as part of the program.

The costs of Wings 2 Carry U are currently borne by fundraising activities and income from other sales and by the fact that Alicia herself contributes half the hours she gives to the business on a voluntary, unpaid basis.

The business does free home deliveries for

Glenmore Park.

Glenmore Park High School’s Trades Training Centre The new Trades Training Centre facilitieshas been funded by the Federal Government as part of a $7 million commitment to the Penrith Valley Trades Training Centre.

The new facilities will give students in years 11 and 12 the opportunity to start their metals and engineering trade courses while they complete high school, giving them a head start in their trades training. It will also allow students.

The facility will also allow other students to participate in metals based technology classes.

Previously this was not possible due to the absences of a metals and engineering facility.

The school has already enrolled approximately eighteen year 11 students in the metals and engineering trade course and a further forty year 9 students in a metals based technology classes.

“The Gillard Government is committed to increasing vocational and

educational training opportunities for all Australian students,” Mr Bradbury said.“For many young people, the opportunity to learn a trade is just as important as the prospect of going to university.

“These facilities will allow young

people in our region to begin learning a trade while still at school, giving them a head start in their further training and making them more attractive to future employers.

“I would like to wish the students currently enrolled in a trade course here at Glenmore Park High School all the best in their studies,” said Mr Bradbury.

The construction of the Penrith Valley Trades Training Centre

included a new metals workshop at Kingswood High School, upgrades to equipment and learning spaces at the other partner schools and the new metals and engineering facilities here at Glenmore Park High School.

Kids Adventure The Kids’ Adventure Passport is an incentive based scheme which encourages you to visit and discover many of our amazing cultural venues.

Be MoneySmart and take control of your finances A new website to help consumers navigate their finances is MoneySmart.gov.au, developed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). It was launched in Melbourne on World Consumer Rights Day by Assistant Treasurer Bill Shorten and Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer David Bradbury.

The website is the first part of the National Financial Literacy Strategy and will form part of the Government’s public awareness and education campaign announced last year to help consumers work out the best banking deals for them.

“This website is a fantastic way for people to see how different life events will impact on their finances,” said Mr Shorten. “There are 26 calculators and tools, including specially-designed mobile phone apps, to help people find the answers to their questions about money.

“Whether you are signing up for your first mobile phone contract, starting a family or saving for retirement, the MoneySmart website offers inde-

pendent, unbiased guidance.”

Mr Bradbury, who has responsibility for consumer policy and financial literacy, said that a better understanding of personal finances can empower people to make better choices.

“The Gillard Government wants people to be better informed about the choices they make so that they can take control of their own finances,” he said. “We think it’s important that people take into account all of the risks and benefits before making decisions on their finances.

“Understanding more about your financial health can help you set goals and grow your wealth. Often the first steps are the hardest to take, but something as simple as working out a household budget with the help of MoneySmart can make a big difference.”

Mr Shorten said the MoneySmart website would also be an important part of the Government’s public awareness campaign to help consumers get the best possible deal out of their financial institutions.

“The Gillard Government wants to make sure that all Australians have access to high-quality, independent information to help them find a better

banking deal and switch banks.

“MoneySmart will provide a range of calculators and information to make it easier for consumers to compare the rates and fees on offer at the banks and find one that suits them best.”

Mr Bradbury said empowering consumers was at the heart of the Government’s banking reform package, and the new website would help to do that.

“Active, well-informed consumers will make the banks sit up and take notice and drive greater competition in the banking sector.

“I encourage everyone to go to www.moneysmart.gov.au to equip yourself with the latest information and be ready to take your business down the street to a better bank.”

The National Financial Literacy Strategy is focussed on delivering quality financial literacy education through schools, workplaces, higher education institutions and in the community.

The Gillard Government has also provided $10 million over three years to ASIC to deliver face-to-face financial literacy training for more than 6,000 teachers as part of the new Australian Curriculum.

Happy Easter!!

Chocolate Dangers at Easter We all know Easter is a fun time spent with family and chocolate...lots and lots of delicious chocolate! Easter is a great time for the human members of the family, but the infamous Easter egg hunt can end in tragedy for our four legged friends. Chocolate contains theobromine and caffeine, which when ingested by a dog or cat, causes vomiting, diarrhoea, hyperactivity, increased heart rate, restlessness, muscle twitching, increased urination, excessive panting and if left untreated can be rapidly fatal.

For example, if a 10kg dog eats 100gm of milk chocolate, vomiting and diarrhea will occur. If a 10kg dog eats 250gm of milk chocolate, there is a risk of potential death if untreated.

Dark chocolate contains more theobromine and caffeine, and 100gm can be fatal.

If your dog does accidentally eat some chocolate it is vitally important that they are seen within 30 minutes to an hour by your local veterinarian.

The veterinarian will give an injec-

tion to make your pet vomit, which removes most of the toxins from the body. Sometimes, your pet will be hospitalised, where intravenous fluids may be used, an enema or stomach pump may be required, and we may also need to use muscles relaxants and activated charcoal.

There are a few simple precautions you can take to ensure that your pet has a safe Easter: • Hide your Easter eggs in areas which cannot be accessed by your pet.

• Ensure small children do not give your pet any chocolate.

• Ensure all chocolate is kept out of reach from your pets. Dogs have a good sense of smell and will find chocolate in kid’s schoolbags!

Parkland and Outdoor living Forget that fifth bedroom – one of the top drawcards for young home buyers in Sydney’s west is outside, not inside, the home.

Over the past decade, parkland and outdoor areas have become a key selling point for developers who are increasingly focused on providing access to the great outdoors for young families with children.

The shift comes as awareness grows of the importance of physical activity in maintaining good health in adults and especially kids.

Stockland General Manager for Residential Development in New South Wales, Matthew Mears, said: “Over the past 10 years, parkland has become one the main selling features of new communities in western Sydney.Gone are the days of 1980s-style communities with an unadorned oval that could be on the other side of the suburb.

“Today’s families are demanding close proximity to a range of parklands and recreation opportunities, and want to be able to walk or cycle rather than always have to drive.

“Helping promote a more active lifestyle also provides more opportunities to get to know neighbours. It’s about giving our residents spaces to enjoy the social aspect of their community, which helps build bonds that can lead to a more fulfilling home life.”

This month, Stockland has released 30 new home sites at Glenmore Ridge, The Jacaranda Release, as part of Stage 3 of the Glenmore Park development.

“Glenmore Ridge is making it even easier for families to enjoy the active lifestyle that Glenmore Park is already known for,” Mr Mears said.

“The new blocks we’ve released are within easy reach of beautiful Jacaranda Park, with its large playground and picnic area, which is being upgraded and more than doubled in size.

“Glenmore Ridge also provides kilometres of walking and bike paths for people to get out and embrace life.”Budding athletes are also amply provided for, with the residential community located within easy reach of a variety of sporting facilities.

Plus, Stockland is working with residents to launch a community fit-

ness program in coming months, designed to get families more active.

The move to incorporate more outdoor amenities into new developments coincides with a growing realisation by researchers of the need for children to get outside more.

In the latest Physical Activity and Nutrition Survey of NSW schoolchildren, published last month by Sydney University, over one-third of children were still not meeting the recommended level of physical activity. A key reason was an increasing reliance on computers and video games for recreation.

Glenmore Ridge has been extremely popular with young families since its launch in October 2010. It offers a selection of easy-living and larger family-sized home sites, as well as affordable home and land packages.

Set over 58 hectares, the community will provide up to 530 new homes at completion. Lots in the Jacaranda Release are priced from $215,000 to $263,00, with sizes ranging from 308 to 664 square metres.

Penrith City Council supports the Garage Sale Trail Penrith City Council is getting behind The Garage Sale Trail, which will see thousands of garage sales held all over Australia, including Penrith City on 10 April.

Deputy Mayor Jim Aitken OAM said the Garage Sale Trail was an excellent way for individuals and families to pick up a bargain.

“The trail also helps the environment by reducing the amount of material going to tips with pre-loved items being snapped up by new eager buyers,” Councillor Aitken said.

On Sunday April 10, join in with thousands of other Aussies in bagging a bargain or making some dollars offloading the stuff clogging up your cupboards.

Following on from the success of the first Garage Sale Trail, held last

May in Bondi, the ultimate day for foraging and fossicking is being rolled out nationwide.

There’ll be pop-up record stores, art shows, bike sales, backyard bands, as well as your classic clothes and bric-a-brac sales. Plus, it’s a great to chance to meet the neighbours and have a bit of fun.

The Garage Sale Trail will happen in each major city and regional areas all across Australia, including Penrith City.

Deputy Mayor Jim Aitken OAM said: “Penrith City Council is excited to be bringing the Garage Sale Trail to Penrith City. It is a great opportunity to bring our community together, while showing that recycling and sustainability can be fun.”

To get involved visit www.garagesaletrail.com.au, www.facebook.com/ GarageSaleTrail, or on Twitter: @ GarageSaleTrail.

This is an opportunity to focus on young people’s achievements and our City can pride itself on being home to some great young talent.

Wednesday April 6 ‘Young and Bold’ at Imagine Nations Church in Orchard Hills, which will present headline act Stan Walker, a Battle of the Bands and a dance competition.
