Town Centre Plans Plans are underway for the Glenmore Park Town Centre to be expanded, with a Development Application expected to be submitted to Penrith City Council by the end of the year.

At the last Glenmore Park Action Group meeting, AMP Capital Property Development Officer, Vanessa Walker, confirmed that progress was being made in relation to the expansion.

A recent statement sent to the Gazette from Ms Walker says “AMP Capital Shopping Centres continues to work with Penrith City Council in considering opportunities for expansion of Glenmore Park Town Centre.

AMPCSC sees the growth of Glenmore Park and surrounding suburbs as providing the opportunity for an enhanced retail offer for the local community. AMPCSC will continue to work with council aiming to progress to DA lodgement and we’ll advise when that stage has been reached.”

The meeting discussed the options, with the danger of the present Town Terrace Road dividing the shops being of unanimous concern.

Bethany gets a hall Julia Gillard M.P has announced this in the second round of the Primary Schools for the 21st Century program. The multi-purpose hall will enable Bethany, Caroline Chisholm and Padre Pio Parish communities a place to gather together under one roof. It will be a wonderful asset for communities to use for assemblies, performances, teaching and learning and Parish events. will be equipped with a modern canteen which will be used by Bethany as a school canteen.

Mayor For The Day Cont from page 1: The competition was open to all primary school students who reside in and attend primary school in Penrith City. Students had to say what the best thing is about their suburb and why they like living there. ayor Cr Jim Aitken said “Penrith City Council congratulates the students selected and we are looking forward to having Brittany and her 14 colleagues attend Penrith City Council’s Family Fun Day. “On the day they will hold a mock Council meeting including a debate on what type of recreational facilities they want to provide to the community. They also have to decide where to put the facilities and of course they must fit their plans within a tight budget.

“This can be a difficult debate for Councillors with 20 years standing, so they will be listening closely because it is amazing how the young can come up with fresh new ways of looking at things.

Kev’s Korner with Kevin Lee

Padro Pio Parish Before I use public toilets it takes me a few minutes to decide which of the 6 cubicles would be the least used and enter that one. Even door handles are opened with a tissue, such is my OCD in relation to hygiene and public toilets. But when it comes to shaking hands I never think twice.

“No minister will ever get close to a person who he is unwilling to physically touch. If you are not willing to touch a homeless person, or an alcoholic, or a terribly dirty person, you psychologically are unwilling to minister to them.” These are the words of an eminent psychologist, Dr Charles Gerkin of Emory Divinity School. His student, Larry Daniel, who became minister of First United Methodist Church in Murray Kentucky, learnt this lesson the hard way in 1988 when one of his church members was diagnosed with AIDS. He had gone to the hospital to visit with the sick man and the nurse advised him to put on rubber gloves before entering the room. He did.

The sick man was so happy to see

Glenmore Gazette

his pastor and immediately extended his hands in welcome. But when the pastor extended his own hands all he saw was the latex gloves. Instantly the initial feeling of joy and comfort turned into that of embarrassment for both of them. The pastor apologised. In future trips to the hospital he wore no gloves.

“I simply felt that I could not be Christ’s representative in that situation,” he later explained, “unless there was direct touch contact.”

I feel very annoyed to know that some churches are making changes to the way they worship together on the basis of their paranoia created by the sporadic cases of “swine flu” identified throughout the world. By giving in to prevalent hysteria they are expressing a certain fear which is unworthy of a Christian. I saw at one church that a person’s outstretched hand offered at the “sign of peace” was declined by the fellow worshipper who kept his arms firmly behind his back. For a person who trusts in God, fear is an unworthy emotion. To imagine that sickness and death could come from the contact offered by a fellow Christian is to believe the power of sin to be stronger than God’s power.

Touching, like hugging and other

July 2009

forms of gentle, direct bodily contact, express love and acceptance of the other person in ways that words cannot. Touching is two-way traffic; it affects both the person touched and the person doing the touching. Traditional societies regulated touching by making rules regarding who and what could or could not be touched. It was believed that touching the wrong persons and things would defile the one doing the touching and render him or her “unclean”. According to ancient Jewish ritual law, certain people were in a state of impurity and any person who touched them or anything that had come in contact with them was instantly rendered impure (Leviticus 15:19-30). Holy people such as priests were forbidden to touch dead bodies or they would incur defilement (Leviticus 21:1-12). In the gospels, there are many story of Jesus giving and restoring life by doing exactly what he was not supposed to do, namely, touching and letting himself be touched by those whom the Law had declared unclean and untouchable.

Let us not allow the hysteria of swine flu destroy the neighbourly relations that we enjoy here in Glenmore Park.

Town Centre Plans Cont from page 1: Local research shows shoppers want competition for Woolworths, particularly with fresh food, and are keen for the inclusion of a discount department store such as Big W. AMP Capital has consulted with the GPAG in relation to the look and feel of the new-look centre.

“Glenmore Park Town Centre is a really nice community based centre and moving forward we really want to make sure it retains that town centre role,” Ms Walker said.

It is understood that the Town Centre would still be on one level and there is no intention to introduce a paid parking system, though changes to the parking setup are likely to be discussed. Vanessa answered a local resident’s question, “best case scenario we expect to commence the expansion of the shopping centre by 2011”.

Several members of the community brought up an issue of a road (Town Terrace) that would run through the middle of the centre – similar to the one that separates the new and old sections of Westfield – and its potential pedestrian dangers.This is expected to be a significant issue as the proposal moves forward and the Development Application is submitted to Council.

GPAG Director, Mary Cook asked the room if they preferred Town Terrace to be removed from the plans or kept.

100% of the meeting were against the road staying as part of the extension. GPAG have seen both architect drawings of the proposed development and will be forwarding a written submission and petition to Penrith City Council in support of AMP, to have the new shopping centre absolute rather than having it divided because of the road. Mary

Biggest Morning Tea at Bethany

of the local community. “We had a great turnout which helped make this worthwhile event a huge success.

Students and visitors understood the importance of supporting the Cancer Council and the great work they do.

Our wonderful Parent Association worked tirelessly on the day, making cups of tea and coffee and serving our visitors. I would also like to thank all the local businesses who supported us,” said Mrs Hackett.

For further details visit our website: www.bethany.parra.catholic. edu.au Organiser Amie Hackett and assistant Jenny Phelan On Thursday 28th May students, staff and parents gathered at Bethany Catholic Primary School Glenmore Park to hold “Bethany’s Biggest Morning Tea”, to support the Cancer Council of Australia.

To assist in the fundraising, students were able to purchase tasty treats provided by the parents.

Local businesses were most generous in donating prizes for a raffle drawn in the morning. Over $1250 was raised on the day.

Learning Support teacher Mrs Amie Hackett who organised this event, warmly welcomed all members

Pet Registration Cat and dog owners need to ensure their pets are registered to help boost the chances of lost animals being reunited with their owners.

Minister for Local Government Barbara Perry recently said “There are at least 773,000 animals on the NSW Companion Animals Register that are microchipped but not registered, Microchipping your cat or dog is mandatory under the Companion Animals Act and is the first step.

However, the second step is lifetime registration with your local council, which is mandatory for cats and

dogs over the age of six months.

Registration is a one-off payment. All money raised from registration fees is fed back into pet related activities and functions to help promote responsible pet ownership and safety awareness.

Eighty per cent of the pet registration fee goes back to councils which they use to carry out companion animal related activities such as the management of dangerous and restricted dogs and the running of pounds, The remaining twenty per cent is used by the NSW Government to fund pet related initiatives such as the school based pet awareness Safe Pets Out There (SPOT) program.”

Registration also provides councils with the most up to date information on pets in their area, which helps relieve pressure on pounds and animal shelters. Registration fees help run the online Companion Animals Register which is the main tool used by councils to reunite pets with their owners.

Ms Perry said lifetime registration is an important part of promoting responsible pet ownership in NSW. “There are around 1.8 million cats and dogs owned as pets in NSW. But part of being a responsible pet owner is ensuring it is registered.”

Arms of Australia Inn Open Day Sunday, July 19 Should Wilkins sentence include a flogging, he will be taken to the Corps hospital next to the court, to be patched up.

Amongst their duties on the day, the Marines will challenge, along with other teams from the district, the winners of last year’s Leg Pull competition. “A great effort is being made to acquaint children with local history with the help of the Marines’ re-enactments, You could describe it as a day of learning and fun,” said Craig Werner, President of the Nepean District Historical Society.

There will be a host of activities for children of all ages. Trampoline Bungee Jumping, Thomas the Tank Engine, face painting the ever popular old fashioned school room, games, merry-go-round, animals to cuddle and a jumping castle.

There will be plenty of food, music, stalls, and displays of all kinds and plenty of entertainment. The day, which commemorates the day William Cox started the road across the Blue Mountains in 1814, starts at 9.30 am.

Charity Event August 23rd The scrapbooking craze has taken Penrith by storm and two local ladies have pooled together their ‘crafty’ talents to organise the inaugural Crafty Girlz Lazy Day – Scrapbooking Charity Retreat right here in Penrith on Sunday August 23rd 9 am – 4pm.

Kellie Lopez and Michelle Dawson from the Australian company Kaszazz, have 5 children between them ranging from 12 years – 8months. They have been inspired to help the charity Cure Our Kids , after Michelle helped a family friend who had a sick child. “ We wanted to use our love for papercraft and scrapbooking to generate interest in a charity event here in Penrith”, Kellie says. “ Cure Our Kids help many families who have children in the Oncology Ward at Wetsmead Hospital. They are also raising money and awareness of the Bereavement Counselling sessions that they are able to provide with the help of donations and fundraising events such as ours.”

“What better way to raise money than by holding the first ever Crafty

Girlz Lazy Day – Scrapbooking Charity Retreat! Many ladies like to relax on a Sunday completing craft projects.

A fantastic opportunity to be inspired by craft AND raise money for the Cure Our Kids charity“ Kellie has previously been published in craft magazines and Michelle has won awards for her work. Both ladies are accomplished and trained scrapbooking teachers with 10 years experience between them.

While giving warmth and creating a pleasant atmosphere, wood heaters can unfortunately cause health and environmental problems if used incorrectly.

Penrith City Mayor Jim Aitken OAM is asking for residents who own wood heaters to check their chimneys for excessive smoke.

“Smoky chimneys can be a real problem in our community during the winter months, when wood smoke haze is trapped over built up areas,” Councillor Aitken said.

“Unfortunately wood smoke pollution can harm the environment and your health and can be upsetting for neighbours.

“Council is encouraging all residents with wood heaters to go outside and check their chimneys. Ideally, chimneys should not vent any smoke, just a heat haze. Older models may vent a thin wispy smoke.

“However, if your chimney has obvious smoke this means it’s not operating as efficiently as it could be, regardless of its age. “During winter, wood heaters can produce two to three times more pollution than cars.”

With a few simple steps, residents can help reduce the effect of wood smoke pollution. These include using dry, aged hardwood; avoid leaving heaters smouldering at night, use several small logs stacked loosely for better air circulation, have the chimney cleaned yearly to prevent creosote build-up and making sure heaters have a compliance plate meeting the Australian Standard.

For more information regarding solid fuel wood heaters contact Council on 4732 7991.

Wisdom for Life Where do you get your wisdom from? From where do you find what is good and right and true? A lot of the time, people simply try to work things out for themselves; a sort of “if it feels good do it” approach. Others will ask around among friends or family or perhaps they just copy what they see their friends doing. Still others pick up some tips from TV or self help books and magazines. The problem with all these approaches is that while a lot of the ideas you pick up might be helpful and good, you can never really be sure. Nor can you be confident that you’re just following a fad that will be “here today and gone tomorrow”.

The reality is that people are looking for wisdom that will set them up for life. People want wisdom that will apply to all the situations and circumstances in their life. They want wisdom that is right and true for men and women, boys and girls, married and single, old and young.

God in his goodness has made sure that we are not left in the dark and has lots of relevant, practical and timeless wisdom for us in the Bible. Starting on Sundays in August at Glenmore Park Anglican Church, we

will be having a series of talks giving practical answers from the Bible in the book called “Proverbs”, to see what God has to say about life. We’ll be tackling issues such as work, what is it that brings real and lasting value, marriage, sex, parenting, healthy conversation, having a positive influence on people around us and some helpful tips on managing your time, all with the bottom line of learning to trust that God is good and that there is no better way to live your life than learning from him! Do you want to know more? Why not ring me on 4733 1635?

Billy Kart Bonanza Surveyors Creek Public School very first Billy Kart Bonanza was a very successful day. Everyone involved had the most wonderful time. There were Billy Karts of many shapes and sizes for the children of Surveyors Creek Public School to ride. They were all extremely excited and look forward to another wonderful Billy Kart Bonanza in the future.

To allow a day like Billy Kart Bonanza to not only run but be as great as it was, takes a lot of time and preparation. This time and preparation was organised by some very special people who donate their time to allow our children the chance to participate in wonderful events like this one. So therefore we need to thank everyone involved in the day. Teachers and parents of our children did a wonderful job in creating a memory for our children that will be treasured for years to come.

We would like to thank our wonderful track sponsors for their continued support.

Our track sponsors for Billy Kart Bonanza raised us about $2500.

They included Our Major Sponsors – D&A Concreting, Novak Signs, BJ Cranes and Gloria Jeans.

Our Minor Sponsors included – Lenards Chicken, Dino Pizza, Quantum Plumbing, Great Western Tiling, Ultimate Horticultural Solutions, Don Clark Tractors, Stick Sports, Armour Automotive, Redback Automotives, The Heritage Café, Mrs Brennan, Mr Lister and The Staff at Surveyors Creek Public School.

We also had donations of gifts for our raffle from – Michael Hill Jewellery, Rebel Sports, Vic’s produce, Penrith

Whitewater, Nepean Bell Cruises and Penrith Panthers. So please support our sponsors as they have supported us.

We would also like to thank the Panther Players for sharing in our fantastic day.
