Rally For Dog Park At Glenmore Park Locals gathered at Glenmore Park last month to continue their campaign for the establishment of a designated dog park. Federal Member for Lindsay, Emma Husar MP, joined the group to lend her support. Ms Husar MP met with and congratulated Ms Dee Kerr, and other dog owners this morning. Ms Kerr has led a brigade of Glenmore Park citizens to establish the Park. “I have had the opportunity to meet and discuss with Dee how we can bring this park to fruition. The fact that Ms Kerr has brought together so many people to petition for the site is a testament to her.” It is estimated that the establishment of a dog area would be in the order of $60,000. There would need to be construction of a fence, and installation of water taps, seating and dog friendly adaptations to make the park successful. “If you or your family have a dog, you know how much love and enjoyment they can bring. It is important that we develop the infrastructure across the area to provide a safe environment to take dogs.”  Federal Member for Lindsay, Emma Husar MP, joined dog lovers to lend her support. | Image Supplied

The students and staff at Regentville Public School put on a magnificent display of creativity and progressive learning during their Open Day held last month. The celebratory day, which is part of NSW Public Education Week, was an opportunity to highlight the achievements of public education and local schools, putting the spotlight on students, educators and the communities that support them – and Regentville certainly did not disappoint. From the school band joyfully playing popular tunes, to the Book Fair in the library and from the BBQ sizzling away with accompanying cake stall, to the amazing display of studentcreated artworks at the Art Show – there was something for everyone and the showcase of talent was vast. The Art Show, which was the highlight of the celebration, was held over two days and an evening this year to allow for more families to attend. Community members appreciated the evening time slot as many family members find it difficult to have time off work during the day. Visitors were also able to attend the Book Fair on the Wednesday evening. Year Two teacher and Art Show curator, Brearn Hahn was overwhelmed by the positive response to the exhibition and was impressed with the input of the entire Regentville Public School community. Mrs. Hahn told the Gazette, “Regentville’s second Art Show was bigger and better than last year’s display. Students and staff worked collaboratively to create and produce aesthetically pleasing art works for the day. The Regentville community worked tirelessly to ensure the Art Show was even more spectacular than last year. Thank you to local landscape artist John Rice for officially opening the Art Show. I would like to thank everyone for helping to make this day a memorable occasion”. Mrs. Hahn looks forward to planning Regentville’s 150th Anniversary Art Show next year.

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.

Junior Jivers and Launching Joey Jivers! Junior Jivers (JJ’s) is a fantastic music and activity playgroup happening at Glenmore Park Anglican Church (GPAC) on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays 10am – 11.30am. It is now an integral part of the Glenmore Park community! Whenever I drop in to say Hi, everyone is having such fun – kids, mums, even the dads and grandparents who attend! I’m continually amazed at the energy and enthusiasm of the kids and leaders. It’s very infectious! JJ’s is designed to encourage each child in their physical, mental, social and spiritual development. Each week there’s a structured program based on a Christian theme (such as “God made the animals”) that includes singing, dancing, musical instruments, a story and a craft or activity related to the theme. Mums and Carers are involved in the activities with their children so they have a great time together. The songs include favourites from “The Wiggles”, “Playschool” and Nursery Rhymes. Morning tea is a great time for children and mums to catch up with each another. Each term there are outings, dress up days and visits. I often hear mums say that JJ’s is the highlight of their week! I’m pleased to announce we have now launched our brand new group “Joey Jivers” on Thursdays 11:15am – 12.30pm aimed at mothers with babies aged from 0-18 months. Similar to JJ’s, Joey Jivers aims to help the physical, mental,

social and spiritual development of our very youngest children with age appropriate songs, games and a Bible devotion all finished off with a chat over tea or coffee and a light lunch. Jesus often taught how important children are and that we should care for them. In the Bible’s book of ‘Mark’, Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Children are treasured and loved by God. At GPAC, we value children and the important role of parenting, so we work hard to care for and support them. All our JJ’s and Joey Jivers leaders, along with all our children’s and youth leaders are committed members of our Church, regularly involved in Child Protection and Safe Ministry Training. We’d love to see you at any of our groups and our Sunday Church Services – 8.30am, 10.15am, 5pm (all with wonderful Creche and children’s programs) and 7pm (especially for youth). Check us out on Facebook, online, give me a call on 4733 1635 or email our Church Office at office@gpa.church. We would love to see you! Rev John Lavender

Adriana - A Supermodel in the Making She may have only been modelling for a short time, but local Adriana Maltese has already caught the attention of many, after being chosen to be a finalist in the 2017 Australian Supermodel Of The Year competition. “I was actually approached by the founder of Australian Supermodel Of The Year, who believed I had great potential to register” explained an excited Adriana. When asked what she enjoys most about modelling, Adriana told the Glenmore Gazette “I love the adrenaline build up just before entering a photoshoot, how photographers make you feel so welcomed and comfortable. I just genuinely love photo-shoots!” Adriana has a positive attitude when it comes to modelling and the key to this is confidence. “Don’t let any setbacks or negativity reflect who you are. Always have a strong mindset, remain resilient, determined and display a sense of strive and passion within the industry. Confidence is the key in modelling, so display an overwhelming amount of confidence” she said. To help support Ms Maltese in the competition, you can visit the Australian Supermodel Of The Year Facebook page at www.facebook.com/AustralianSupermodelOfTheYear, find her photo and click like. A link can also be found on her Instagram page, which can be found @adrianamaltese.

Glenmore Park Farewells Rajesh and Chirag

“Would You Like My Seat?” On the train recently, I offered my seat to a woman standing in the aisle. She took my seat without saying anything or even making eye contact! On reflection, I concluded that this was less an issue of rudeness and more about how in modern societies we live like islands. Islands are not connected to other land masses – in this sense they are complete unto themselves. When we fall into the trap of living like islands – that we are complete without others – receiving from others or giving to others is no longer important. The seat offered on the train is not seen as a gift from someone, but an entitlement. Sure, we need our family etc., but beyond that we operate as individual “islands”. To receive a kindness from someone – such as a seat on the train – we must recognise the person giving this gift. A nod is enough, but what it does is opens our heart to what is good in the world, and that our existence is richer than just our own goals or the problems swirling around us. It reminds us that we are not alone, and that we are not machines, but are made to relate to people – to receive and to give. Both receiving and giving connect us to beauty because they are in some way connected to beautiful things like kindness, compassion and love. This is what makes our souls well, and it is what makes life hopeful. Most people love the teaching of Jesus that we should “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. It’s wise and it brings beauty to our life on earth. Jesus also taught that if we follow him we will find our life – by this he meant that if we make him our Leader and put his words into practice we would enjoy strong and meaningful lives rather than feeling we are just going ‘round and ‘round on a treadmill. Go well, Paul

The people and local community of Glenmore Park waved goodbye to Rajesh Ayer and Chirag Patel, who sold Gloria Jeans Coffees at Glenmore Park Town Centre last month, after owning the store for the past three and a half years. The popular owners enjoyed their time at the shop. “I’ll miss the customers who came to my café. I will miss chatting with them about their day and I will miss their smiles and humour. This was my first store, so I learnt everything here about coffee and business. This store was like my ‘baby’ and my team was like my family. I had a lot of fun times here and it was sad to say goodbye” said Rajesh. “The best thing about Glenmore Park’s community are the people. They’re one of the most friendly, considerate and kindest people I’ve ever come across. I felt like my store wasn’t just a coffee house, but it was like a community hub” he added. Since selling the Glenmore Park store, Rajesh has set his sights at running more cafes. With the local community continuing to expand and grow, Rajesh can see a bright future for the area. “Once the Shopping Centre finishes construction and starts running, Glenmore Park will be busier and grow into a bigger suburb. The people will always stay the same; kind and fun” ended Rajesh.  Gloria Jeans Coffees Glenmore Park staff | Image Supplied

Love to Swim Swim for Safety Swim for Life!

Saying ‘Sorry’ Seems Like A Good Thing To Do. Doesn’t It? I wonder about the importance of teaching young children to say ‘sorry’ when they have done something awry. Very young children, under the age of 4 years, are egocentric and they don’t have ‘theory of mind’. Egocentric means that they think the universe revolves around them. Theory of mind is having an understanding that other people have thoughts and feelings of their own. These skills develop slowly from the age of 4 years. Chances are that your two-year-old has pegged the truck at his brother’s head because he meant it and he doesn’t really understand that it has hurt his brother. No matter how many times you tell him. When we teach a young child to say ‘sorry’ it isn’t a consequence. The child learns that he or she can say sorry to get out of trouble. The other chestnut is “it was an accident”. Teachers at school tell me that even older children will try to get out of trouble for pushing another child by saying that it was an accident. It is an insincere apology, and who wants that? I encourage parents to role model how to do sorry for their young children. If your child has hurt another child at playgroup, you look the other child in the eye, with your child standing next to you, and you say something like “I’m sorry that my child hit you, it must have really hurt”. You then give your child a consequence such as a time-out. It must be immediate. As children grow, and develop more of their cerebral cortex, and thus theory of mind, we then start talking to them about making a sincere apology. We talk about how we take responsibility for our actions by apologising and making amends. There may still be consequences. Child development is always a work in progress. Children won’t learn these skills the first time, it requires consistent and gentle guidance from the adults in their lives.

What Can We Learn From Last Summer? I love summer, especially after the long cold winter we have just experienced, however, last summer was horrific in terms of drowning statistics. From December 10th 2016 to January 3rd 2017, 22 people died in drowning accidents in NSW alone – that’s nearly 1 person per day. The drownings did not discriminate, occurring across a range of ages, genders and locations including a 29 year old rock fisherman at Malabar, a 1 year old girl in a backyard pool at Raby, a 14 month old girl in a backyard pool at Port Stephens, a 16 year old boy in a river at Dubbo, a twin girl and boy, aged 23 months, who were found in a backyard pool at Kellyville Ridge, a 56 year old man at a beach at Kioloa, a 25 year old man in the Nepean River, a 14 year old boy at Maroubra beach, a 42 year old man at a river at Wagga Wagga, a 64 year old man at a Byron Bay beach, a two year old girl at in a backyard pool at Macquarie Fields, an 83 year old man at a backyard pool in Belrose and too many more to list individually here. It’s hard to read these statistics, and even harder to imagine what the families of the victims are still going through. How did this happen? In many cases, the water safety layers of protection were simply not in place – supervision, fencing the pool and shutting the gate, teaching children to swim from babies and being prepared for an emergency. Swimming alone, intoxication and lack of awareness of river and ocean currents also played a part in many of the deaths. Let’s work together over the coming months to take responsibility for the safety of ourselves and our families in every aquatic environment this summer, and make our suburb a No Drown Town.

schools have revised their student welfare policies and adopted a progressive approach to ensuring students ‘connect, succeed and thrive’. Whilst this is certainly a massive step in the right direction, the Higher School Certificate (HSC) exams, and lesser so, the National Assessment Program - Literacy And Numeracy (NAPLAN), are still based on a ‘snapshot’ of a student’s learning and education. With the 2017 HSC written exams commencing on October 16th, Year 12 students will need the support of their families more than ever. Here are some ways you can help your teenager during the examination period: • Provide healthy meals. • Ensure adequate sleep and exercise. • Encourage a healthy balance between work and leisure. • Maintain a study space free from distractions. • Highlight strengths and successes, focusing on effort rather than results. • Understand they may be feeling extra-sensitive so try not to overreact. • Encourage them to seek assistance from teachers or the school counsellor if they appear to be struggling.  Image | www.pexels.com.

From Stress to Success: How to Push Past the Pressure of the HSC

Studying and taking exams can be stressful. Let’s face it – many of us have probably had difficulty sleeping, had fluctuations in eating patterns and mood changes during examination times. The pressure of retaining information and being able to draw on that information during an exam or assessment can create undue amounts of stress and anxiety, particularly for young people. With so much pressure to achieve a certain mark or score, it is not surprising that many students feel they are trapped in a system of ‘academic achievement = lifelong success’. Unfortunately, this common perception has contributed to the decline in mental health amongst teenagers and left many young people feeling an overwhelming sense of pressure. Over the past two years in particular, there has been a lot of discussion surrounding the well-being of school students. Many

WHAT’S COOKING

Lasagna Party Ring ingredients 3 tablespoons canola oil ½ onion, diced 4 cloves garlic, minced ¾ pound ground beef, 80:20 ratio of lean to fat ¾ pound ground sweet Italian sausage 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black pepper 28 ounces tomato sauce 15 ounces ricotta ½ cup shredded Parmesan ¼ cup basil,chopped 1 egg 18-20 cooked lasagna noodles 2 cups shredded mozzarella ½ cup marinara sauce, to serve preparation 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. In a large pot over high heat, add oil, onions, and garlic, and cook until they begin to brown, stirring occasionally. 3. Add the beef, sausage, salt, and pepper, cooking until all of the moisture has evaporated and the meat is starting to brown on the edges, breaking the meat up as you stir. 4. Add the tomato sauce, then reduce heat to a simmer, cooking the sauce down until the mixture becomes extremely thick, almost paste-like. Remove from heat and set aside. 5. In a bowl, combine the ricotta, Parmesan, basil, and egg, mixing until smooth. Set aside. 6. Slice 6 of the lasagna noodles in half. These will serve as the layers in between the meat and the cheese mixture. 7. Spray a bundt pan with nonstick cooking spray, then lay about 10-12 noodles into the bottom of the pan, fanning them out in an overlapping pattern. One end of the noodles should be just as tall as the centre of the pan, and the other end of the noodles should hang over the sides of the pan. 8. Sprinkle half of the mozzarella into the bottom of the pan on top of the noodles. This will help bind the noodles together when cooked. 9. Spread half of the meat mixture evenly in a ring over the top of the mozzarella, then lay half of the cut noodle pieces over the top to create a noodle layer. 10. Spread all of the ricotta mixture over the noodles in an even ring, then layer with the rest of the noodles and the rest of the meat sauce. 11. Fold the edges of the lasagna noodles hanging over the sides of the pan back towards the centre, creating another overlapping pattern. 12. Sprinkle the rest of the mozzarella evenly on top. 13. Bake for approximately 45 minutes, or until the cheese is a deep golden brown. 14. Cool for about an hour, then carefully invert the ring onto a cutting board. 15. Slice the ring, then top with any extra Parmesan and basil. 16. Place a small bowl filled with marinara at the centre of the ring, for dipping. 17. Serve!

Belgenny Farm Celebrations This Father’s Day, escape to the country and treat Dad to a day out at a rare opening of Australia’s oldest farm in the historic Macarthur region, just one hour south-west of the Sydney CBD. Established by Elizabeth and John Macarthur in 1805, the convict-built Belgenny Farm was renowned for many years for growing wheat, horticulture and grapes, as well as producing dairy and wool. Despite the harshness of early colonial life and the long absences of her husband in England, Elizabeth Macarthur was a devoted mother to her eight children, and is regarded as one of Australia’s greatest women.

Love Your Salt – Lose Your Bones! Many factors can alter the effects that sodium has on body calcium balance and so the role that sodium plays in relation to calcium and bones is a little complex. We’ll try to clarify the effects below. But first here are some facts about salt intakes: 1. Most sodium in modern diets is table salt (sodium chloride) added to foods for flavour. 2. 1.2 – 2.3 grams salt (NaCl) daily is considered adequate for adults. 3. Yanomamo Indians in Brazil can live healthily on just 0.5 grams salt daily. 4. Many healthy populations have no more than 2.3 grams salt daily. 5. Australians eats 9.9grams of salt per day 6. The people of Tianjin city in China eat 14.1 grams of salt per day. 7. 14.5% of Australians over 50 (women 23%, men 6%) have osteoporosis. 8. 34.65% of people over 50; 61.6% over 60 (male 52.1%, female 69.1%) of Tianjin people have osteoporosis. Medical literature suggests that the body loses 40mg of calcium for every 2.3 grams of sodium ingested (as NaCl), this would deplete 10% of the skeleton within a decade if the body were unable to compensate. Let’s look at an excellent 32-week randomized repeat cross over study done at the Institute of Food Research, Norwich, UK. Researchers asked what effect a moderately high (11.2g NaCl) or low (3.9g NaCl) salt intake had on the bone calcium in postmenopausal women placed on either a low or high calcium diet. Known dietary factors (protein, vitamin D & potassium) that

influence calcium uptake & loss were kept constant. So what did they find? 1. A quarter of participants had no increase in urinary calcium loss due to increased salt intake (these women were able to compensate for increased salt intake – they’re safe J). For the rest: 2. When the diet was low in calcium (518mg/d) bone calcium balance got worse, whether the salt intake was high or low. 3. When the diet was high in calcium (1284mg/d) and high in salt, the bone calcium balance was still negative. 4. Only when salt intake was low did the high calcium diet provide a positive bone calcium balance. Other factors modify salt’s effects on bone calcium: The chloride in salt is also important. Table salt (NaCl) increases urinary calcium loss more than sodium bicarbonate or sodium acetate. As we now know from last month’s article, potassium intake has plummeted and sodium skyrocketed in modern diets. But it is precisely the potassium from green vegetables & potatoes etc, that can stop the urinary calcium loss due to dietary saltloading, and also prevent increase in biochemical markers of bone resorption. Given what we’ve learned above, it should be pretty clear that we do not need added salt to survive & be healthy!! We get more than enough sodium, to allow the body to work perfectly, from healthy unsalted foods. So, if you want strong bones, lay off the salt; eat plenty more veges!

Fantastic 2 Days at the Sydney Dog Lovers Show!

Smiles all around!

Happy Dogs!

We had so much fun at the Dog Lovers Show at the Rose-Hip Vital stand. Camille Brandt from Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital attended the Dog Lovers Show as a special guest of Rose-Hip Vital in August 2017. Camille took her 2 dogs to the Dog Lovers Show (Pony a Great Dane cross and Leo a Labrador), and at least 1000 people came and patted them. The Sydney Dog Lovers Show is the ultimate event for dog lovers of all ages where thousands of passionate dog lovers celebrate the companionship, unconditional affection and joy that our furry friends bring to our lives every day. There were over 150+ exhibitors showcasing dog products and services in Australia. It was a great opportunity to spoil your fur-kids with loads of show specials and free samples. Pony has been to the Dog Lovers Show for the last 3 years and he was so good. Pony loved leaning on the people that were patting him, he is not shy to ask for a pat! It was Leo’s first time at the Dog Lovers Show and he surprised us all by being calm and well behaved. Leo enjoyed sticking his nose into people’s hand bags and sample bags, as he can smell food from a mile away. The day was full of pats for Pony and Leo and they enjoyed a few doggy naps throughout the day. Even when they were laying down they were still getting patted and their tails did not stop wagging. Thank you to all of our clients who popped in to say hello, we appreciate your support. It was great seeing so many familiar faces in the crowd! We posted over 100 photos on our Facebook page, so enjoy the photos. https://www. facebook.com/orchardhillsvethospital/ Please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital.

Glenmore Park High School Hosts NSW Education Week Launch Glenmore Park High School students, staff and community were extremely proud to have been chosen to be the Metropolitan host school for the 2017 NSW Education Week Launch, held last month. Special guests included the NSW Minister of Education Hon Rob Stokes (MP), Secretary, NSW Department of Education Mark Scott and Deputy Secretary Murat Dizdar. “Being chosen to host this important and prestigious event was a great honour for our school and provided us with a further opportunity to showcase the amazing talent and programs on offer at Glenmore Park High School. The event was a true celebration and showcase of the excellent educational opportunities provided in New South Wales public schools. Compering, performing in the launch, ushering in and engaging with politicians, Department of Education staff, and our wider community partners and parents are all memories our students will treasure for a very long time to come” said Glenmore Park High School Captains Rory Geerin and Emilia Rance.  Glenmore Park High School Students with NSW Minister of Education Hon Rob Stokes MP (far right) at the Launch | Image: NSW Department of Education

Oh joy! September is here; and I am pleased to report we have almost finished our full home renovation. What a task that was.... Coincidentally, we only have the gardens and landscaping to attend to. Spring is the perfect time to tick this off our list. When completed, our home will have experienced a much needed face-lift after a very tired 17 years. While our home looks much like a display home now, the most satisfying part of our renovation was that we enlisted many of the trades and services found right here in the Gazette; from Carpenters, Electricians and Window Cleaners right through to Kitchen and Bathroom renovators. We have an amazing list of professional and talented trades, services and businesses right here in our community. Supporting local business keeps locals employed and our local economy thrives. Live. Love. Local! Be sure to show your support by shopping local; and when you ring let them know that you found them in the Gazette! As always, there’s plenty to read, see and do, outlined in this month’s edition. The happiest people in life are the givers, not the takers. It's time to enjoy some ‘me-time’ with Your Community News!
