Making Connections for Life It’s been said that a good friend is hard to find. Apparently it’s getting even harder! Here are some stunning figures! In 1985 the average person had three close friends, people they could confide in, people they felt comfortable with, people with whom they felt connected. In 2004, only around 20 years later, that number had dropped to two. Those reporting no close friends had jumped from 10% to 25%. Even the share of people reporting a healthy circle of four or five friends dropped from 33% to just over 15%. It is amazing isn’t it? In an age of Facebook and twitter, in an age of modern communication, many people are feeling less connected than ever.

What a tragedy this is! More and more it seems people are cut off from those around them; isolated and alone.

But it’s even bigger than that. As people open up about what is going on in their life they also speak of the

spiritual vacuum in their life. They feel disconnected from God. They feel as if their life is a spiritual desert; a waste land. They feel as if their life is rudderless, a drifting with nothing of substance to hold onto or give direction, meaning or purpose in their life.

At Glenmore Park Anglican Church we want to do something about that.

At Glenmore Park Anglican Church we have discovered that real life is to be enjoyed by being connected to the God who is real; to the God who is there; to the God who can be known.

We would love for you and your family to be able to join us during the week or on Sundays, where you, like many others in Glenmore Park, have the opportunity to find real life by reconnecting with God and reconnecting with others.

To find out more check out our website (see the details below), give me a call on 4733 1635 or simply turn up on Sunday – we’d love to see you!

The Rural Fire Service Cumberland Zone’s Fire Control Centre has been opened at Regentville Penrith City Mayor Kevin Crameri OAM said that the centre was made possible through the close cooperation of Penrith City, Blacktown and Fairfield Councils and the State Government.

“The great thing about the Fire Control Centre is that is services such a large area,” Councillor Crameri said. “The centre is close to the freeway and in a great spot to respond to emergencies quickly. “It also has facilities for other services so that when an emergency occurs the emergency services can work together, significantly enhancing our ability to respond to any crisis.

“There’s plenty of room for training, which ensures our brigades remain well equipped to do the very best job they can.

“However, a building is only as useful as the people it houses and it gave me great pleasure to see some of the RFS’s longest serving members honoured with their National Medals for dedicated service at the centre’s opening.”

Help make echidnas more comfy near School House Creek Volunteer with your neighbours to revive the bush around Regentville’s School House Creek, home to echidnas.

Penrith City Mayor Kevin Crameri OAM said: “Two echidnas were found in a local back garden near the site about a year ago and they have certainly sparked interest in the neighbourhood. Echidnas are protected by law. Their habitat is a burrow and they eat ants and termites.

“Council works with the community to conserve important tracts of bushland and to protect and improve the biodiversity of Penrith City, so I encourage the local community to get involved. Council’s Bushland Management Officer will hold an onsite meeting with interested residents for a short introduction to the area and to discuss what is involved in forming a Bushcare group. A qualified facilitator guides and trains volunteers onsite.”

Councillor Crameri said Council was keen for community input to create a management plan for

the site which will target removing weeds (Moth Vine and Privet) and future planting to sustain this echidna habitat.

To take part in the volunteer group, RSVP to Janet Rannard, Bushland Management Officer, Penrith City Council on 4732 8088 or email jrannard@penrithcity.nsw.gov.au.

Once people have registered their interest a meeting date will be arranged.

For more information about Bushcare, visit www.penrithcity.nsw.gov.au and go to the Bushland section under the “Environment”

Water in the Landscape Competition

This year the Glenmore Park Community Project are running a Water in the Landscape (WiTL) Multimedia Competition for people aged 12 to 17 years of age. The focus is on the water bodies within Glenmore Park and the environmental. Artworks could be documentaries, animations, stills, photo essays, short films, etc. Workshops and Information sessions will be run. At the end all finished artwork will be professionally mounted and presented. We are still working on the prizes and the location of the exhibition. It is a really good opportunity for the youth of Glenmore Park to convey their message that water is important and we need to protect it for future sustainability. We hope that after the competition there enough people to start up a Youth Action Group that will work towards positive action towards the environment. We also will be running a event for Neighbourhood Centre’s week. We are open to any ideas from the community, if people want to start something up, we can help.

Kara Wins Sports Award Kara Leo, a Year 12 student at Caroline Chisholm College, was awarded the Sportsperson of the Year award at the 2010 Parramatta Diocese Sports Awards evening.

The award is for a student who has displayed skill and sportsmanship across a range of sports, as well as is respected by their peers and staff and officials who are involved in school sport.

Kara is ranked the fastest S14 200m swimmer in Australia and the second fastest in the world and hopes to compete at the 2012 London Paralympics. S14 is a category for swimmers with an intellectual disability.

In August, Kara won silver at the International Paralympics World Swimming Championships in the Netherlands. At this event she took eight seconds off her personal best and is now only two seconds outside the world record for this event.

Kara has also been a keen competitor on a more local level. In the multiclass category, Kara won medals at the Parramatta Diocese Secondary School Sports Council (PDSSSC), the NSW Combined Catholic Colleges (NSWCCC), NSW All Schools and School Sport Australia swimming competitions.

Kara was recently named Youth Ambassador for the Samuel Morris Foundation, which helps children who have survived near-drowning experiences. In 2009, Kara was named the NSW Young Athlete of the Year with a Disability after representing Australia to win 10 medals, including 5 gold at the Global Games in the Czech Republic.

Teaching educator, secondary sport in the Parramatta diocese, Chris Anschau, said Kara was very deserving of the award. ‘Kara is a very talented sportswoman who has far exceeded the prerequisites for this award,’ said Chris. ‘She is a very inspiring young woman.’

Nepean Wolves celebrate Nepean Wolves Taekwondo is entering its tenth year of teaching Korean martial arts to the children and aduls of Glenmore Park in 2011. The school has recently expanded its martial arts curriculum to include Haidong Gumdo: an elegant and exciting martial art that draws on ancient sword combat techniques.

Dave Adlam, senior instructor for Nepean Wolves, has been practising and teaching taekwondo for many years and firmly believes that the discipline and fitness required for martial arts have significant benefits for both children and adults alike. Learning a martial art also means learning respect – for yourself, for your fellow students, and for your instructors.

These qualities of fitness, discipline and respect are essential to gain the most from our lives.

In 2010 Luke Adlam joined the team of instructors at Nepean Wolves, taking on the role of Haidong Gumdo instructor. Haidong Gumdo is a relatively new sport in Australia and Luke became a national champion at the 2010 Australian Championships. His strength and proficiency impressed the judges immensely and he is now training for the next World Championships.

Both Taekwondo and Haidong Gumdo provide a modern twist to centuries old combat traditions.

Taekwondo is literally translated as “art of hand and foot”. Students learn

cuses on sword work, with beginners using a mogum or wooden sword. As students progress through the levels they can move to a steel practise sword or kargum for their patterns or gumbo.

Students refine their sword technique by learning paper cutting, which is a great deal more difficult than it sounds, and, for senior students, bamboo cutting and rush mat cutting.

This martial art requires strength and grace to perform the complex but beautiful patterns that include jumps, twirls, rolls Luke, left and David training at their local park and even the occasional cartwheel. how to use their bodies to protect Like Taekwondo, Haidong Gumdo themselves by practising poomse or also offers sparring however, sparring patterns, and techniques that gradu- for Haidong Gumdo is choreographed ally increase in difficulty as they rise and includes theatrical, acrobatic and through the belt levels.
