From the Editor The oh so subtle scent of freesias is in the air, the blossoms are blooming, the grass is growing – yes, Spring is in the air!

Time to clean out the pool and prepare yourselves for the warmer weather.

As the warmer month’s approach it is the ideal time to visit our newest park at Ched Towns Reserve, what a wonderful park it is! Thank you to all that were involved in making it happen! If you haven’t explored its offerings, I highly recommend you take a visit.

We have lots of great reading in store for you in this bumper spring edition!

I’ve included a great inspirational spring recipe for you to try – see ‘What’s Cooking’ on page 14.

I am completely floored at the generosity and dedication of people within our community. Last month I met with local resident Kevin Robinson of Little Wings. I am amazed by his completely selfless nature and compassion for sick children and their families. Read all about Little Wings on page 6, and if you can assist this great cause (in any way big or small) please do.

Don’t forget the upcoming election, get to the polls on Saturday, 7th September and cast your vote for the good of this country. Remember, you can always do a postal vote if you’re going away on Election Day, so make your vote count.

Enjoy your community news and remember, remain positive – there is always a way!

Baxter Finds His Way Home After Seven Years After seven years, Baxter the spaniel’s owners had thought they’d never see their missing pooch again.

Last month, Council’s Animal Services team member Phil Doy picked up Baxter in Queen St, St Marys, scanned his microchip and discovered he was registered to owners living on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

“When we called them, they were overjoyed. Within two hours Baxter was booked on a plane home to be reunited with his family the next day,” Penrith Mayor Mark Davies said.

Penrith is one of the best councils in NSW when it comes to re-homing lost and abandoned dogs. Of all dogs impounded at the Hawkesbury Animal Shelter from our area, approximately 92% are returned to their owners, sold to new owners or rescued by appropriate organisations.

Our Rangers and Animal Services staff make every effort to identify the owner of any dog found wandering, and impounding is always the last resort.

They return many dogs to their grateful owners without impounding. In the past six month we have returned 127 dogs to their owners.

Owners can increase their pet’s chances of being returned home safely by making sure they are microchipped and that their contact details are up to date on the Companion Animals Register through any local council in NSW. Remember if you are selling or giving away your dog or cat, it is the current owner’s responsibility to update the register with the new owner’s details.

Council is hosting a free microchipping day on September 21 at Jamison Park. For more information, contact Animal Services on 4732 7543.

“It will be the first time Australia’s most iconic trophy will visit the Penrith district and we are delighted for Fernhill to be one of the hosts,” Ms Tripp said.

“The Cup visit is one of a number of exciting new events being planned for this spring. We can’t wait for this breathtaking property to showcased to the local community.”

Rev John Lavender • Phone: 4733 1635 Cnr William Howell Dr & Pritchard Pl, Glenmore Park

Service Times: Sundays @ 8.30 and 10.15am, 5 and 7pm.

Plus activities for adults and young people right throughout the week

The World Comes to Glenmore Park Anglican Church August was a month of great joy, excitement and encouragement at Glenmore Park Anglican Church! We hosted a team from Kileleshwa Covenant Community Church in Nairobi Kenya for 2 weeks.

Around 10 months ago, a team of 12 people from our Church visited Kileleshwa to partner with them in sharing the good news of Jesus. Now we’ve had some members of their Church visit us! The team spent an exciting 2 weeks with us. They had the opportunity to attend our Sunday Church Services where they not only taught the people at our Church a number of new songs (in Swahili!) but also spoke (in English!) from the Bible about our good God’s concern for all people to hear and believe the great news about Jesus. The team were able to be involved in many of our Men’s, Women’s, Young Adult, Youth and Children’s Groups, as well as visit our local Preschools, Primary and High Schools, speaking about life in Kenya as well as sharing the difference that Jesus makes to their life.

There were so many encouragements about the team being with us! Their joy, energy and passion to know and share the good news of Jesus. Being able to hear from them how God is bringing people to Himself in Kenya. Then there was the joy of being able to experience a culture so different to ours but who have the same goal of living to love and honour Jesus!

We had a small foretaste of heaven! In the book of Revelation in the Bible, we are told that in heaven there will be “a great multitude that no-one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language...Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honour and power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Amen.”

It was a memorable 2 weeks, with a couple who attend our 5pm service saying that “the Kenya service was one of our best ever experiences at church...we just loved it. It was great to be able to celebrate God. The sermon was powerful and they are all so loving. Thank you so much for bringing this experience to all of us at Glenmore Park to be a part of.”

Glenmore Park Residents Group NEWS This month’s meeting was a discussion on exit points to Glenmore Park. GPRG President Andrew has had a conversation with local state MP Tanya Davies who advises that she has been trying to get improvements to this issue for Glenmore Park Residents.

Unfortunately nothing concrete has come from the discussion except to say that the State Government has no funds at this time to support the improvements.

On a lighter note, have you had a look around Glenmore Park lately? Penrith City Council has been doing some great work. Cheds Town Reserve has been a recipient of improvement in facilities, small grandstand seating, great play area under construction.

The next meeting on Tuesday September 17th will be an AGM. All offices will be declared vacant and new office bearers will be elected. We hope to have some new members with as much passion to help the group keep going forward. Come along at 7pm on that date, join in the conversations and give us your ideas on how to improve the area in which we live.

CHRIST CHURCH @ THE COLLEGE

Rev Mark Bonnici • Christ Church @ The College • www.christchurchatthecollege.com.au

Blessings in adversity!

Right now as I write this article I sit in a room on the outskirts of Harare in Zimbabwe. I am overwhelmed at times by the poverty and poor conditions the people here must endure.

Zimbabwe has an 85% unemployment rate and 40% of people are infected by HIV and Aids, though in some way they are all affected.

I was taken to a rural village called Mhondoro yesterday (Sunday) after church to meet with a tribal chief who is responsible for a small township. I was struck by the impact HIV was having on the people here as I walked into a church building. Inside were 60 widows who had lost husbands to the disease, all singing joyfully to God. My heart became heavy when, after the singing, one of the leaders began to ask each widow how many children were left now in their care. ‘Seven children’ said the first, ‘seven’ said the second and each one began to reveal their personal burden and the frightening impact Aids is having on families and communities in Africa.

A little way away from this church building another leader drives me to his rural property to unveil his vision for the community. They wish to begin a poultry project which will feed and sustain the number of widows and maybe even to raise enough to send the children to school.

Over and above this the township are praying for a clinic to be built in the area so that those affected by Aids will not have to travel the 20km by foot to seek treatment.

My experience here has been a humbling one, for as I gaze into the faces of these humble folk, I see a deep and simple joy even in and through their adversity. I am doubly humbled when I compare my extravagant existence in Australia and the petty things I whine about, to the struggles of the Zimbabweans and the quiet acceptance they have of their circumstances. It makes me want to give thanks to the God who made me, who chose my life’s path, especially for the abundance I have and the material blessings that come with it. It makes me want to

6 September 2013 www.glenmoregazette.com.au

rethink how I use my wealth in Australia and whether I can be of better use to others with it.

It makes me realize that some of us are so caught up comparing ourselves to others that we have missed the abundant blessings we have here. Our water runs freely every time, we do not endure regular electricity sector sharing, we earn much, much more than $400 per month and we don’t have to save driving cars just for the weekends.

Our children are educated and healthy, our suburbs are clean and roads are in working order. We can take our wives out for dinner and afford to go on holidays. We get holidays! New clothes are a weekly exercise and medicine is affordable. Life is abundantly good, most of the time.

On the other hand some of us are so caught up comparing ourselves to others we haven’t really compared ourselves to others. If we did we would realize just how abundantly blessed we are indeed!

My prayer for you today is to take some time out to reflect on where you are and the safety and abundance you enjoy in this country and that you may give thanks to God for this.

My prayer is that in doing so you will realize that your wealth is a privilege given by God and that you would appreciate your blessings even more so because of this.

My prayer is that in seeing how God has been to you, you might join us this Sunday and the next, and the one after that, as we celebrate these blessings and say thanks to God for them.

Bless you, Rev Mark Bonnici

Bloomin’ Spectacular!

Spring is a wonderful time to visit the lovely Blue Mountains and a major seasonal attraction is The Leura Gardens Festival from 5th to 13th October.

A selection of Leura’s finest private gardens will be open to the public giving visitors an opportunity to view and meander through a variety of gardening styles designed specifically for the cool climate conditions in the upper Blue Mountains.

Iris, daffodils, anemones and tulips amongst many others, present an exciting mix of colour and interest for garden lovers.

Many of the gardens in Leura are well known for magnificent spring displays of cool climate exotics such as rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas and hellebores. Following favourable weather conditions over the last several years this year will be no exception. For visitors wanting tips and advice they will find that many of the friendly garden owners are on hand to answer questions and offer guidance.

Festival 2013 will have nine private gardens on show as well as the magnificent National Trust Property ‘Everglades’. The sprawling grounds of ‘Everglades’ make the property an ideal place to take a breather for a refreshment break or picnic in the extensive grounds.

The Waldorf Leura Gardens Resort made its debut in the Festival last year and this extensive property promises to provide visitors with yet another visual feast of colour and variety. The Waldorf is also a popular refreshment venue with teas, lunches and afternoon teas served in The Olive Tree Restaurant.

Two of past years favourites are also returning to the festival this year. The lovely garden of Ewanriig, adjacent to the picturesque Leura Golf course, and Wai-Ila which successfully combines creative ideas with clever planning.

The Leura gardens have all been selected to provide visitors with a wide cross section of gardening styles. Other gardens in the line up are Davaar, Rustlings, Brabourne, DeadEnd House, Tandella and for the last time on the show the very popular garden Shenstone, where a marquee will be erected to provide daily music programmes and a two day series of horticultural events to be held on Wednesday 9th and 10th October.

The events programme ‘Under the Marquee’ will feature a series of talks and workshops conducted by noted gardening experts.

The programme will cover subjects such as pruning, growing lawns, worm farming, sustainable gardening and more.

The Festival nursery selling a wide variety of both native and exotic plants at great prices has also been a favourite with visitors and this year should be no exception. The nursery will be in Watkins Road next to the golf course.

Opening 5th and running to 13th October festival gardens are open 9.30am to 4.30pm daily. Entry is $20 for an all gardens ticket and $5 per single entry.

The Leura Gardens Festival is a community event run by over 300 local volunteers and all funds raised are donated to the Blue Mountains District Anzac Memorial Hospital to purchase vital equipment as well as funding for other local medical foundations.

PADRE PIO PARISH

World Youth Day – A Joyous Celebration of Faith An estimated 3.5 million young people from all over the world converged on Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro for the final Mass of World Youth Day at the end of July. It was a privilege to be a part of this unique event, the second-biggest Mass in history after the final Mass at World Youth Day in the Philippines in 1995 which was attended by five million people.

It is impossible in this short column to give justice to all the highlights of the World Youth Day experience from Rio but certainly the greatest highlight in Rio was the appearance of Pope Francis on his first overseas trip since becoming Pope in March this year. Certainly, World Youth Day is about Jesus Christ as Christ is central to everything that happens during the celebrations but the one who heads the Church here on earth was given a wonderful welcome as those present hung on his every word.

And what astonishing words they were!

Already in his short time as pontiff Pope Francis has surprised everyone, both inside and outside the Catholic Church, with his fresh and pastoral approach to his role and his words at World Youth Day in Rio were indicative of this engaging approach.

I’ll hand my column over now to Pope Francis with a few examples of his inspiring words at World Youth Day: “Jesus asks us to play in his team but he offers us something greater than the

World Cup – a life that is truly happy and fulfilled. We want to build a Church that is big enough to accommodate all humanity.”

“Do not look at the thorns and the stones but on the small grain of soil where seed can be sown. If you have erred, do not fear. Jesus understands.”

“With Jesus, evil, suffering and death do not have the last word, because he gives us hope and life: he has transformed the Cross from being an instrument of hate, defeat and death to being a sign of love, victory, triumph and life.”

“Jesus did not tell his disciples to share the Gospel, ‘If you would like to, if you have the time.’ Where does Jesus send us?

There are no borders, no limits. He sends us to everyone.”

Next month I would like to share with you the time that the pilgrims from Parramatta spent working with the poor in Lima, Peru, before we arrived in Rio de Janeiro. A moving and life-changing experience for us all!

Our parish is a vibrant and active Christian community. If you would like to join us, particularly those who may not attend our Masses regularly or new residents in the area, we would love to welcome you here as part of our friendly, inclusive and family-oriented community.

Our Mass times are as follows: • Saturday: 5:30pm Vigil Mass with choir • Sunday: 7:30am Mass and 9:30am Mass with choir and children’s liturgy.

Looking forward to welcoming you!

Blessings and prayers, Fr Robert Riedling

Soul Matters

Do you experience times that feel absolutely uninspired, when your heart seems heavy and God (or anything good) seems far away? The Bible’s answer is the spiritual practice of thanksgiving which connects us with the goodness of God to lift the heaviness from our souls.

While a student some years ago in Los Angeles, I left my warm studio apartment on campus, with dinner cooking in the oven, to go for a walk. Trudging along and feeling down over something, I met Ray. He was homeless and had just found a new pair of shoes in a dumpster.

Ray was on top of the world, thankful for his find, and alive in his spirit. I had so much, but because I couldn’t be thankful for it (trapped wanting something else, something better), I was robbed of the sense of what was already good in my life. Ray was rich in his soul, I was poor and heavy!

But true poverty isn’t about not having (people like Ray with very little can be soul-millionaires), but about the fear of not getting. It is to lack the soul-security and hope that our future (and that of our families) will include goodness. According to the Bible everything that is good comes from God, and he is compelled by love to express goodness in the lives of those who open their hearts to him and believe in his Son Jesus. So the ultimate work of thanksgiving is to crank open our hearts to God and to fuel a relationship with him. As we let his love touch our souls we become inwardly alive and light again, revealing the spiritual horsepower of the practice of thanksgiving.

Government Help for New Home Buyers

It’s no secret that there is a housing shortage here in Sydney which has led to fewer homes being available for sale and a shortage of rentals. What you may not know is that there are a number of incentives available to buy or build new homes and you don’t have to be a First Home Buyer to get some help.

The NSW New Home Grant provides a Stamp Duty offset or grant of $5,000 for anyone purchasing or building a new home. To put the benefit of this scheme into perspective, if you were to buy an established home for $500,000 the stamp duty would be $17,990. By comparison if you built a home valued at $500,000 with land valued at $250,000 the stamp duty would be reduced to just $2,240 after being offset by the grant.

Of course First Home Buyers get much bigger incentives with a $15,000 grant and stamp duty concessions, but only if you buy or build a new home. There are no incentives available to purchase established properties, which means that a first time buyer purchasing a $500,000 established home misses out on nearly $33,000.

We are asking for your assistance in refurbishing our transit area into a welcoming space for our families. A renovation rescue you could say…

Little Wings Australia is a not-for-profit charity, providing an exceptional service to regional NSW families. Little Wings relies on support through corporate sponsorship as well as the community to keep the plane in the air, transporting children in need to the Children’s Hospital at Westmead for treatment.

Children diagnosed with a serious illness and living far from specialised medical treatment in NSW face bigger challenges than their city counterparts – family cohesiveness is affected, and a child and parent often face repetitive long, arduous travel to and from country locations for treatment in Sydney.

Little Wings not only makes the physical journey easier for these families, but also helps them financially, emotionally and lessens the health risks to the child as having an immunosuppressed child exposed to viruses on public transport trips can have terrible outcomes.

What we need is for the community to assist us with transforming our waiting area at our hangar located at Bankstown airport into a pleasant, exciting and uplifting space for our patients. A place they can relax whilst we get the Little Wings plane ready for their Journey home.

Somewhere mum and dad can relax and have a cup of tea or coffee while the kids are entertained in a play area.

The waiting area is only 30m2. If you are a tradie or business that could give a little to help kids with cancer please consider coming on board and working together with us to achieve this goal. We will need: • Painter & paint to brighten up the interior finishes.

• Signage for our hangar • Wall or window air-conditioned • Safety barriers for walkway into hangar to keep the kids safe • New carpet supplied and laid 30m2 • Furniture – couches and coffee table • Small Fridge and basic Kitchen items E.g. Coffee Machine • Toys, books & play mat for the kids If you can assist with our renovation or are a business that would like to donate some items, please contact us. We will have a great time putting this together for the kids of Little Wings Australia. www.littlewings.org.au

COUNSELLING CORNER with Linda Cassell @ Psychology Works 4 All Phone 4773 3057 or 0421 507 191 email lindacassell@bigpond.com Confusion about responsibility and ownership in our lives is a problem of boundaries. Just as homeowners set fences (a boundary) around their land, we need to set mental, physical and emotional boundaries for our lives to help us distinguish what is our responsibility and what isn’t.

Boundaries define what is me and what is not me. A boundary shows me where I end and someone else begins, leading me to a sense of ownership of my life. Boundaries also show us what is not our property and what we are not responsible for. We are not responsible for other people. The most basic boundary setting rule is saying ‘no’.

‘No’ let’s others know that you exist apart from them and that you are in control of you.

People subject to another person’s addictions, control or abuse find that after years of waiting for the person to change, create a boundary which in effect is limiting that persons control over them. Effectively a good boundary gives then the freedom to say … ’you can continue on with your (bad) behaviour but I will not let that behaviour have a negative impact on my life. We say ‘no’ to people and activities that are harmful to us. In the end we are only responsible for our own behaviour, our own choices, our own life. The only person we can change is our self.

Good boundaries are essential to good mental health. Feelings of anger and frustration are good indicators that our personal boundaries have been breached.

THIS SPORTING LIFE Golden Fox Girls!

Australia’s London Olympic silver medallist Jessica Fox has become the first woman to win gold in both the C1 and K1 events at the same World Cup. It was a historic moment for the 19-year-old Australian who held her nerves to execute a clean run under enormous mental pressure to secure her first K1 World Cup victory in Tacen, Slovenia.

Jessica created history in becoming the first female athlete to complete the double, winning gold in the both the C1 and K1 disciplines at one World Cup. In the same event in which she won silver at last year’s Olympic Games, Fox improved on her semi-final time to win in 117.60, 0.34 seconds ahead of Austrian star Corinna Kuhnle. Local favourite Eva Tercelj took bronze 1.77 seconds behind Fox. “I am very happy to win my first World Cup medal in K1 and to do the double on Tacen is really special,” said Fox. Meanwhile, in Slovakia, Jessica’s sister Noemie Fox teamed up with Alexandra Broome and Georgia Rankin to win the World Junior Canoe Slalom at the 2013 World Canoe Championships at Liptopsky Mikular.

KEEPING FIT WITH Rj Overcoming ‘Gymphobia’ Regardless of our age, size or fitness level, most of us feel nervous when starting something new. The thought of turning up to join a gym, or trying out a new form of group exercise, can be absolutely terrifying for some!

The good news is, you’re definitely not alone!

It’s important to remember that everyone started somewhere!

Negative thoughts and insecurities are common.

Will I be able to keep up? Will I look silly? Will I be the slowest or biggest person in the class? I won’t lie, it’s not easy overcoming this negative self talk! But if you can face your fears and take that first step, you will reap the rewards that a healthy and fit lifestyle will give you.

Grab a friend, find an activity that you both enjoy and make it fun! Don’t worry about what others might think of you - chances are they are there for the same reason!

Happy Training!

RSPCA Cupcake Day a Huge Success

We hosted the RSPCA Cupcake Day on Monday 19th August 2013.

Thank you to everyone who came in and donated and ate a cupcake or two. We raised $600.00 for the RSPCA with your help.

Erin, Belinda, Eden, Kirsti, Liz and Kristie cooked up a storm and provided the most delicious cupcakes, cookies, cake balls and a very cute cake decorated as a dog. The Pupcakes were a huge hit and were made from the Hills zd science diet baked into cookies and iced with peanut butter. Pony and Bella loved eating the Pupcakes! Thanks again for supporting a great cause!

The RSPCA is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a nonprofit, 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.

Kitten Adoption – Adopt a Friend for Life!

Our Kitten Adoption Program enables us to find homes for stray and unwanted kittens.

Each kitten has a health check by Camille and Erin. They have had all the kitten vaccinations, are desexed, microchipped and have a product called Advocate applied, which controls fleas, intestinal worms and heartworm. We also worm them for tapeworms.

We have 2 male kittens that are 7 months of age.

They are very dog friendly and playful. Contact us if you know anyone that can provide a new home.

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

Do you do Time-Out at your place?

Although Dr Matt Sanders from Triple P advises that Time-Out is a positive strategy for parents, Time-Out has been receiving a bad rap in the parent education field the past few years. And foster carers are not allowed to use Time-Out at all any more.

There are a few good things about it…

- It gives parents an alternative to smacking and yelling.

- It gives kids and parents a chance to cool down.

- In Triple P, time-out lasts no longer than five minutes,

and five minutes in the life of a child is not a lot.

- At the end of time-out, you get on with things – no lectures, recriminations, or apologies. The child has

done the time for their crime, end of story.

However, based on the latest findings in brain development, when Time-Out is used with young children we are asking them to do something which scientists say they are not yet capable of doing – calming or soothing themselves. It is better for young children, to have their parents help organise their feelings by acknowledging and labelling their feelings, and soothing them with calming words and touch. In the Circle of Security parenting course, this is called being Bigger, Stronger, Wiser, and Kind.

The thing about Time-Out is that it is very addictive for parents because it works so very well. The problem with using Time-Out a lot is that it is a big disconnect in the parent-child relationship, and children don’t learn very much from it. They don’t learn the skills to resolve conflict. They don’t learn to calm themselves in situ. They don’t learn relationship repair. Part of our job as parents is to give our kids skills that they can take into adolescence and adulthood so they can be competent citizens, good friends, and caring, supportive, and nurturing partners and parents. I just don’t think Time-Out provides the goods in that department.

I’ve seen plenty of angry and resentful kids who have spent a lot of time in Time-Out, because every time they look the wrong way they are sent off to their room. And they frequently don’t have a good relationship with their folks. A little bit of Time-Out is OK. A whole lot of Time-Out is going to backfire on you in the long run - you’ll be wondering why your kids are so surly.

Quite often, Time-Out is used by parents because they don’t have the capacity to control themselves. The very thing they are asking their children to do. Some parents I have worked with who have problems controlling their anger, give themselves a Time-Out. They tell their kids that they need to go and calm down, and they will come back to repair the relationship when they are feeling better. This is a lot better than ‘losing it’, blaming it on the kids, and regretting the things we have said and done to hurt our kids.

I believe Time-Out is the discipline of last resort. At my place, I only use Time-Out for what I call ‘crimes against humanity’, that is being hurtful, violent, or aggressive. There are so many more positive parenting strategies that you can use to guide and educate your kids.
