Natasha’s Star Continues to Shine Glenmore Park’s talented musician Natasha Duarte has certainly had a busy year this year, including studying music therapy full time, doing 3-4 gigs a week around Sydney as well as putting the finishing touches to her soon to be released album titled ‘Living Proof’. “This album I wrote entirely by myself and it’s an album that I feel shows my true voice as a musician. Because it’s such a personal album, I really made it for my own personal creative outlet. I’ll be playing the songs at my frequent gigs and the album will be available through a few different outlets such as iTunes and Spotify and there will also be physical copies” said Natasha. On the back of the new album is the exciting news that Natasha’s first single ‘Never Say Sorry’ has already been picked up for syncing opportunities in an episode of the popular television show Black Matter in the US and Canada; “I find the syncing opportunity this early on the albums release extremely humbling and I just hope to keep on getting the album heard by more people and hope that it might be able to have some kind of impact on its listeners, like all the music I love so much has had on me” she said. Natasha described her experience of recording the album as ‘extremely positive’, enlisting the services of Murray Sheridan, a distinguished producer/musician and an old friend. “I also had seven amazing musicians play on this album and all of them were so professional and proficient with their instruments which also made Cont.

Glenmore Park High School recently announced the launch of “The Charity Shield”, a fundraising initiative of the school’s 2017 leaders. The beneficiaries of the school’s fundraising efforts are a number of local charities, including The Haven – Nepean Women’s Shelter. The Haven is an urgently-needed shelter for women fleeing domestic violence or suffering homelessness, which is in the process of being established in the Penrith area. The effort, supported by Women’s Community Shelters, is a response to overwhelming levels of demand that have resulted in half of local women being turned away from crisis accommodation because of a lack of capacity at existing shelters. The board of The Haven is in the process of looking for a property to lease which will house the shelter, with the aim to have the doors open by November this year. The Haven’s chair of the board, Sharon Levy, said Penrith has a critical shortage of available crisis accommodation. “One in every two women who are fleeing family violence or experiencing homelessness are being turned away because shelters are at capacity. We have been overwhelmed with offers of support from the community, including the show of generosity from local schools such as Glenmore Park High School,” Ms Levy said. Women’s Community Shelters CEO Annabelle Daniel said there was a desperate need for additional accommodation to shelter women and children fleeing domestic violence. “Based on our past experience, and the level of demand in the local community, we expect that The Haven will be full within a week of the doors opening,” Ms Daniel said. Anyone wishing to offer financial assistance or assistance with locating appropriate premises to house The Haven is encouraged to contact the board by emailing: ceo@ womenscommunityshelters.org.au.  Students, teachers and guests at The Charity Shield launch | Image: https://www.facebook.com/thehavennepeanwomensshelter/photos

FAITH – GLENMORE PARK ANGLICAN CHURCH

Article Written + Submitted by: Rev John Lavender P: 4733 1635 A: Cnr William Howell Dr + Pritchard Pl, Glenmore Park W: www.glenmoreparkanglican.com.au Service Times: Sundays @ 8.30 and 10.15am, 5 + 7pm. Plus activities for adults + young people right throughout the week.

The Good Life We Australians love “the Good Life.” And why wouldn’t we? Beach. Bush. Spectacular coastline. Space and plenty of peace and quiet in the outback. Sydney Harbour. The Blue Mountains. Even a walk along the Nepean River compares favourably! We love our long weekends. We love our holidays. We love time off. Time with friends. Watching the kids play footy. It’s all good. “The Good Life”; seems we can’t get enough of it! Yet, what do you think Jesus says “the Good Life” looks like? With much of life we are taught to be independent, to grow up standing on our own two feet. Sadly, for many of us this means living independently of God; living a life where God, at best, is kept at arm’s length or, at worst, is not included at all. Jesus says our life should be the very opposite. God made us. He knows what is best for us. We will find meaning, purpose and fulfilment when we recognise the best way to live is the way God intended for us. No matter who we are, there are times when we wish life could be different – better. Perhaps one of the most striking and encouraging of Jesus’ claims is that people who follow him, listen to him, trust his promises and his direction for life, can actually begin to experience this good life. It has been the experience of Christian people since Jesus, as well as those of us who belong to Glenmore Park Anglican Church, that faith in Jesus, knowledge of God’s love towards us,

hope in God’s promises have been a powerful force to build and sustain this good life. Confident hope. A right understanding of relationships. Purpose. Direction. Care for those in need. Freedom from fear. Peace and joy in the face of adversity, even confidence in the face of death. And so much more! Knowing Jesus means helping us live this good life!

Excite Dance and Cheer Opens New Studio It was the end of an era and the start of a new one. After ten years in the Glenmore Park Community Centre, Excite Dance has grown so big that they have moved to new premises in South Penrith. The local dance and cheerleading school has been a mainstay for over a decade in the community and has enjoyed great success. “We have been lucky and privileged to see Excite grow within the community” said owner and founder, Kerry Richardson. “The growth has been steady over the years with many families coming to Excite through referrals from friends and family”. St. Clair and Plumpton were originally considered as possible locations for the school all those years ago, but Glenmore Park made the final cut which turned out to be the best decision because of the support from the local residents. Excite dancers and cheerleaders perform all over and have quite a reputation for taking first place in competitions and eisteddfods. The award winning cheer team won ‘Grand Champions’ at the National Championship last year on the Gold Coast. It is the highest level that can be achieved at a cheer competition in Australia. They also won Grand Champion last year at a competition in Hawaii. In celebration of their ten year anniversary, the school held a Gala Evening to celebrate. The students and teachers were all dressed in their formal wear and shared memories of their time at Excite. Quite a number of the young dancers had been there since they were toddlers. “Some of the children even brought in their very first ballet tutu from when they were 3 and are now 14” said Kerry. “We had a wonderful slide show of the eisteddfods, festivals, uniforms, students and teachers from the past, bringing back lots of memories”. The new location for Excite Dance and Cheer is at York Road across from Jamison Park. They have fully kitted out dance and cheerleading studios. They can be contacted at www.excitedance.com.au.  Excite teachers and founder Kerry Richardson at the Gala Night | Image: Tanya Barnes

FAITH - FOOTHILLS VINEYARD CHURCH

Get into the Swing

Article Written + Submitted by: Pastor Paul Marshall W: www.fvc.org.au Sunday Service Time: 9:30am @ Regentville Public School

Face It – We’re Not Better Than Others! Confronting, but let me explain. Our society encourages us to show we are better than others. That’s why we glow with pride announcing we have a prestigious career or live in a prestigious suburb. It’s why we can think we are better than others because of the car we drive, the clothes we wear, or when our children do better at school or sport. I suggest though, that all of the effort attached to being better than others is a total waste of time! Why? Each of us is special, but we don’t actually have the power to make ourselves better than others! We don’t have the power to alter the value of our own lives or that of others. Sure, we may earn more money or have the “right” body shape but such things cannot change the intrinsic value of our life or that of others. They are more like the skin of who we are (the surface or pretend part) but the real truth about our value has nothing to do with our performance. This is why the Bible teaches: “When you compare yourselves among yourselves you are not wise.” Our true value is found purely in the fact that God decided to create us and treat us as special – he loves each of us. This bestows a sacred sense of value to all who have the privilege of human existence. It makes the “I am better” game pale into insignificance - a game we are compelled to play when we don’t yet appreciate the value of our life and still need to prove it. Jesus showed us the power, freedom and soul-rest we can have when we know we are special and don’t need to prove it by trying to be better than others. Knowing it is not like coming to know someone’s address – we discover it deep in our being as we orient our lives around Jesus Christ. Living well flows seamlessly from it. Go well, Paul

Swing West Big Band is an 18-member Big Band with many musicians each having 40 plus professional years of playing either in their own jazz bands or for some of the most well respected entertainers and Big Bands in Australia and abroad. Swing West Jazz Orchestra (SWJO) is the local Penrith City Community Band, which over the years has transformed to an 18 piece Big Band. They are located in the Penrith area and have been entertaining audiences at various clubs, private functions and charity events for many years. It’s love for Big Band music and a passion for entertaining the community that brings them together to form one of the best Big Bands in the Western Sydney Region. The Big Band has been growing stronger and stronger under the direction of their Musical Director, John Webster, a Glenmore Park resident and promises to be their best line up yet. John has played trumpet with many a respected artist over the years including Daly Wilson Big Band, Ricky May, Billy Field and many more, and is giving his experience to this community Band. The last two Dance Nights they held at the Penrith Golf Club were a great success, with many of the audience enjoying a night of music and dance. This next performance promises to be a memorable night and nothing can beat a roaring Big Band when it all comes together with their local Blue Mountains Vocalist Jenny Knight. They believe that SWJO brings a taste of nostalgia for the old and something new and fresh for the young by playing Big Band tunes that are recognized by both young and old. You can hear the music of Buddy Rich, Maynard Ferguson, Benny Goodman, Gordon Goodwin, Count Basie, Glenn Miller and many of the old Big Band favourites. Sing and dance along with tunes from Natalie Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Peggy Lee, Julie London, Linda Ronstadt, to name a few. Get into the Swing on Saturday 12th of August from 7pm at the Penrith Golf Club. “Come on, let’s have some fun”  Swing West Big Band | Image Supplied From. Pg 1

Is My Child Ready for School? The pressure to give your child the best educational start in life leaves many families stressed and fearful of making the wrong decision. How do you know if he/she is ready? What should they know before they start? Should you send them when they are 5 or 6? In New South Wales, the law states that a child must be enrolled in school by the age of 6. This means that you may send your child if they are turning 5 on or before July 31st (for Public Schools - the suggested cut-off date varies in Independent and Catholic). Children should attend school from the beginning of the year if they are already 5, turning 6 that year. Despite the plethora of opinions about the ‘correct’ time to send a child to school, it is ultimately the decision of the parents to do what they believe is best. As each child is unique, it is important to consider a number of factors when making your decision. Here are some basic questions you may like to answer to assist in making an informed decision: 1. Can your child listen attentively and follow instructions? 2. Is your child able to go to the toilet, wash hands and open food packets independently? 3. Can your child concentrate on a task and complete it? 4. Does your child express thoughts, feelings and ideas? 5. Is your child able to use a pencil to draw circles, lines, scribbles and letters? 6. Will your child share with others and take turns? Along with your responses to these questions, it is important to consider your child’s emotional maturity, social awareness and additional needs before making a decision. Remember - the greatest preparation for school is talking with your child about it. Let them know that you think school and learning are important. Children develop positive attitudes toward school when they see that their parents and families value education.

PARENTS CORNER

Article Written + Submitted by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) Nepean Community + Neighbourhood Services P: 47218520 E: narelle@nepeancommunity.org.au FaceBook: Parenting in Penrith Blog: handsheartsminds.wordpress.com Guest post by Professor Matt Sanders Despite what certain sport shoe commercials might have you believe, life isn’t always about winning. It is equally important for the development of healthy selfesteem that children learn how to deal with disappointment. As a reaction to not getting what they want, such as being chosen for a team, children may sometimes put themselves down, saying things like: “I’m dumb”, “you hate me” or “I’m just stupid”. If this happens, try to avoid being too sympathetic. Instead encourage your child to try again after the set-back and to enjoy the activity or game even if they aren’t the winner. Rather than simply reassuring your child that everything will be okay, you can help your child develop their own sense of worth by letting them know that you understand their feelings of disappointment and that you are there to help them work out a reasonable way of dealing with that disappointment. Remember too, when you’re helping your child with an activity or with homework concentrate on effort not results. Praising your child for trying and making an improvement will motivate them to continue trying at a difficult task. Professor Matt Sanders is founder of the Triple P – Positive Parenting Program.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT edUcatered Operating on the key belief that every child has the ability to learn and as a community we need to support our children by catering for their individual needs, edUcatered is changing the face of educational services in our local area. This exciting new educational consultancy business is the brain-child of local educator, writer and consultant - Sara Drebber. Sara has over fifteen years’ experience in education, working in independent and public schools in a variety of teaching roles. She brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to her role as an educational consultant and the founder of edUcatered. “It has always been my aim, like most educators, to create a nurturing and supportive environment in which children can develop and learn” Sara explained. “Over the years, I have noticed that parents and teachers often lack the necessary support to cater to the individual needs of the children. I want to see that culture changed”. Sara established edUcatered because she saw a need to facilitate practical needs-based opportunities for parent and teachers to develop strategies and a greater sense of home-school cohesiveness. The services edUcatered currently provide include Parent Workshops and One-to-One Tutoring for primary school students. Teacher Professional Learning opportunities, as well as in-home consultations and support for Home Schooling, will be available in the near future. The response to the business so far has been very positive. Sara is dedicated to inspiring others as she strives to create a positive impact in education through sharing her zest for learning and growing as individuals. edUcatered is holding a ‘Help your child to Read’ Parent Workshop on August 22nd at The Creative Fringe in Penrith and it is set to be a very informative and practical evening.

HEALTH MATTERS

Potassium - The Hidden & Maybe The Most Important Bone Protector Potassium is one of the most important bone building nutrients we can eat!! We’ve known since the early 1950s that deficiency in potassium results in reduced bone calcification in animals. Yet this nutrient is rarely talked about in relation to osteoporosis! There is a direct relationship between the rate of bone mineralisation & the level of potassium in chick cranial bones. If more mineralisation needs to occur more potassium is needed and visa-versa. Indeed, feeding small amounts of ammonium to rats (yes, the cleaning fluid) which blocks uptake of potassium in the intestines causes rats to lose bone, while feeding potassium (bicarbonate) to the same rats stimulates bone formation and even prevents osteoporosis when these rats are fed low calcium diets. Potassium seems to help control the deposition of phosphate in bone and in this way, promotes bone calcification somewhat independently of calcium intake. In humans supplementing potassium daily: 1. does not change intestinal calcium absorption, but rather 2. decreases bone resorption 3. increases bone formation and 4. significantly reduces calcium loss in urine helping the body retain calcium. Several studies show high potassium diets protect against osteoporosis. Tucker et al. showed that men and women in the highest quartile of potassium intake (about 3494–3999 mg/ day), had significantly greater hip-bone density compared with men and women in lower quartiles. In another study of 266 elderly women, subjects in the highest quartile of urinary potassium excretion (a marker that reflects potassium intake) had significantly higher total hip bone density after 1 year (5%) and 5 years (6%), and significantly higher total body bone density (4%) bone density in distal tibia total (7%) and trabecular (11%) bone densities at 5 years than those in the lowest quartile. Potassium intake levels in the modern world are a real problem. Dietary patterns have changed so much that westerners have seen a 400% decrease in potassium intake (and a 400% increase in sodium intake – see next month). The displacement of vegetables & fruit by grain products, milk & meat is the fundamental problem. In the US, 10% of men and less that 1% of women consume sufficient potassium daily. Australian’s have similar dietary patterns. Australian men eat about 2800-3200 mg, women 2600-2900 mg potassium daily. The Australian NHMRC recommends 4700mg per day to avoid chronic disease.

In paleolithic times people received between 7000-10500mg per day. You can see why we might have a problem. So where do you get it? Yes, that’s right you need to eat a large amount & variety of vegetables (especially green leafy veges), potatoes, nuts, seeds, legumes fish & fruit daily. 10 servings of veges if possible. Aussies tend to have cereal & milk for breaky, a sandwich or wrap for lunch and meat rice or pasta for dinner but not with enough veges! Potassium supplementation is not the answer – and could be dangerous for certain medical conditions. Let’s take a look at the potassium content of some different foods. You can see that the foods we eat most of are generally lower in potassium.

Article Written + Submitted by: Camille Brandt from Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital A: 377 Wentworth Rd, Orchard Hills P: 4736 2027

RSPCA Cupcake Week in August 2017 A Cupcake Day is a great way to raise awareness and money for the RSPCA. We are hosting a Cupcake Week at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital from Monday 21st to Friday 25th August 2017 between 9am-7pm. Pop in to enjoy a cupcake (or two!) and even a ‘pupcake’ for your beloved pet. We have made ‘pupcakes’ which are dog friendly and do not contain any chocolate which is toxic to dogs. The RSPCA is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a non-profit, community based charity that works to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection. The RSPCA is not an agency of the Australian Government and therefore relies on the generosity of the community – through animal adoptions, volunteering, event participation, donations, fundraising, corporate partnerships, corporate support, bequests and grants – to support its vital daily work.

PupCake Recipe This special treat for your pups are sure to get the tail wagging! Remember to serve up these doggy cupcakes in moderation because we don’t want your poodle addicted to strudel! Makes 12-14 pupcakes. Ingredients 2ž cups water

Âź cup unsweetened apple sauce Âź teaspoon vanilla 4 cups wholemeal flour 1 cup dried apple pieces (you can also use fresh fruit) 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 cage-free egg, beaten slightly 4 tablespoons honey Directions 1. Preheat oven to 175°C. Spray a cupcake tin with cooking spray. 2. Mix all wet ingredients thoroughly and combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl. 3. Slowly add wet ingredients to dry ingredients, scraping well to make sure no dry mixture is left. 4. Pour the mixture into the cupcake tin. 5. Bake for 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the centre of a pupcake and if it comes out dry, they are ready to come out of the oven. 6. Wait until cooled to serve. 7. Store in a sealed container. Note: because this recipe is for your four-legged friends, they’re sure to find them tasty‌ but you may not! Please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital. Call 4736 2027 to make an appointment. Check us out on Facebook and online at www. orchardhillsvet.com.au. ď ˛ď€ Image Supplied

Mitchell’s Story Local boy Mitchell Watson may only be 12 years of age, but he has already proven to be an inspiration to many, after overcoming many setbacks in the talented athlete’s sporting career. Despite being born with Bilateral Hip Dysplasia and Ehler Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a Hypermobility connective tissue disorder which required surgeries at the age of 16 months and 3 years, Mitchell has played representative basketball for the Penrith Panthers Basketball Club in the Under 12’s. Not long after, a follow-up appointment found that his right hip was still not developing properly and was still displaced. His family then discovered before his surgery (after a basketball injury) that he had Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD), a joint disorder with lesions on the bone and Osgood Schlatters Disease in both knees. Mitchell had hip surgery in February last year, which was called a Triple Osteotomy, where the Ilium/Pelvis is cut in three places and screwed back together to help realign and relocate the hip in the socket. His pubis bone was accidentally broken in surgery and he was bed ridden for four weeks. He was then in a wheelchair till mid-June and on crutches until the end of the year. “I remember how happy he was just to spend some time out of the wheelchair and be in the water” said Kim, Mitchell’s mother “ I had to lift him in and out of the pool before he could weight bear on his leg. The recovery was a long one and he didn’t get rid of the crutches until December. For him it would have felt like an eternity being such an active boy”. With recovery behind him, Mitchell’s strong will and determination allowed him to make the State Swimming Championships for 13 Years Freestyle. He was given clearance to go back to all sports in March, returning to basketball as well as playing AFL and cricket for school. “My advice to everyone is, it doesn’t matter if you have a disability, injury or you are finding it hard, never give up. Do what you can and say to yourself ‘I can do it!’ Think to yourself what you can achieve and push yourself. Just be proud of what you have achieved” explained Mitchell.  Mitchell in his wheelchair during his rehabilitation | Image: Kim Watson

FROM EDITOR FROM THE THE EDITOR

Well Winter, is nearly behind us. Despite the icy cold mornings and chilly evenings, the days have been surprisingly pleasant. As I write this, I notice the weatherman has forecast 7 days of sunshine. You know Spring is around the corner when the sun is peeking through the frost. A hot topic that is often bandied around in the approach to the years end is whether a child is school ready. Sara Drebber from edUcatered has some valuable and insightful information on this very topic. See page 7 for the full article. Camille, our resident Vet reminds us of RSPCA Cupcake Week and why we should all get behind it. You will also find the ideal recipe for the perfect Pupcake on page 13. As always, there’s plenty to read, see and do, outlined in this month’s edition. Despite how chaotic life can become, enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realise they were the big things. You don’t need me to remind you to put your feet up for five and enjoy some ‘me-time’ with Your Community News!
