Local Holds Push-A-Thon To Help The Homeless Stuart Ayres MP, Member for Penrith met with Nathan Pentecost, Ambassador for Mama Lana’s Community Foundation to offer his support during Nathan’s inspirational 100km wheelchair push around the Sydney International Regatta Centre, Penrith, last month.

“I commend Nathan for his dedication and determination to complete this journey and raise funds for such a well deserving organisation,” Stuart Ayres said.

Founded by locals, Lana & Roger Borg, Mama Lana’s provide hot homemade meals to those who are homeless or disadvantaged in Penrith four nights a week.

Mama Lana’s is wholly not-for-profit and relies totally on donations from the public to keep running.

“I wish Nathan all the best for the remainder of his push-a-thon and I applaud Mama Lana’s for the amazing work they do in the local community” said Stuart Ayres.

A Mosaic of a Strong Community A multicultural mosaic at the Llandilo Association Hall was recently given new life by community members.

The Chinese Community Artwork mosaic was funded through the Council’s Magnetic Places Neighbourhood Renewal and Community Grants Program in 2008.

The recent restoration work was organised by the Penrith Women’s Health Centre and led by artist Diamando Koutsellis with funding from Magnetic Places in 2013- 2014.

The artist worked alongside Llandilo residents, including members of the Chinese and Maltese communities.

Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said the mosaic was understandably important to the residents. “It symbolises the harmony of residents in Llandilo from different cultures and backgrounds working creatively together to create something beautiful for their neighbourhood. The restoration work was also a way to celebrate and further strengthen relationships,� Cr Fowler said.

Participants were able to contribute to the work in various ways including recreating the mosaic, working on the surrounding garden and cooking for the volunteers.

Media arts producer Tokyo Love In has created a YouTube video of the restoration work taking place. Simply go to Youtube and type in ‘Chinese community artwork’ into the search bar.

FAITH – ANGLICAN CHURCH UPDATE Rev Adam Taylor P: 4730 3434 A: Christ Church Castlereagh & St Toms Cranebrook Church Lane Castlereagh & 29 Callisto Dr, Cranebrook W: www.toms4christ.com Service Times: 8am @ Christ Church Castlereagh (Church Lane, Castlereagh) 8am Traditional Style Service 9:30 am, 6:30 pm @ St Toms Cranebrook (29 Callisto Dr, Cranebrook) Contemporary style services

The bite of the morning air; the waft of burning dust as heaters are turned on; deciduous trees stripped bare; coughs and sniffles: winter.

It’s here again.

2014 is half-way through! Can you believe it? How quickly the days and weeks seem to pass by. Only the other week the year was just beginning, the kids were starting back at school, the footy season just kicking off. But now that it’s winter and we’re six months into the year it’s easy to look back and wonder, “How did that go by so fast?�

Our schedules get so hectic trying to meet all the demands of modern life. We continually jump from one thing to the next and barely keep up, let alone feel like we’re moving forward. And the reality is that time flies especially quickly when we’re busy. In this way, annual markers like the changing seasons can helpfully prompt us to step back and take stock.

However, winter is also the end of the yearly cycle of life. It reminds us of the inevitability of death, that life is short. Couple this with the frantic pace of our lives and winter can evoke quite a depressing outlook for the future.

Into this bleak picture the Bible brings hope. For, the God who “changes times and seasons� (Dan. 2:21) is the same God who “causes us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead� (1 Peter 1:3). Jesus, the one who has already died and risen again, offers eternal life, life which will not be soured by the winter of death.

Time flies but only this life is short. For more information about the hope that Jesus offers, contact us on 4730 3434 or via the website www.toms4christ.com RevToby Campbell (In Rev Adam Taylor’s absence)

FAITH – ST DAVIDS CHURCH LLANDILO Rev John Hebblewhite

Service Times: 10am each Sunday, with additional services held: 2pm on the Third Sunday and 8am on the Fourth Sunday

It was once stated that the attempt to marry theology to scientific disciplines in a particular decade would risk being a widow in the next. This highlights the exciting and exacting world of true science. Here the emphasis being discovery based on truth.

As with all things in life new knowledge shapes our existence. Utilized honestly it enhances. Theology as with the scientific disciplines is not static. Perhaps the oldest of all disciplines, theology is continually exploring, interpreting new understanding. Most important is that there is a ‘norm’ to which all this work is related. This is the accepted fact that God ‘is’. As such creation has meaning, we in ourselves have meaning.

It is the continual ‘search for meaning’ that enhances life. In Christian thought this ‘meaning’ is based on the life and work of a Palestinian peasant living in Galilee, a province of the Roman Empire some 2000 years ago. In what is understood of the history of humanity this is a ‘blip’ in the time scale. However, interestingly this Palestinian peasant by his life gives meaning to the whole history of human existence and of the universe.

Christian scripture records that this peasant ‘emptied himself’ and in doing so gives ‘new life’ to the created order. Through the centuries since the death and resurrection of Jesus, the

Christ, theology has had the exciting and exacting task of interpretation and the relativeness of this in each generation.

Now theology has its own methodology, scientific disciplines another. Each is not static.

Theology [the science of God] is involved in the reality of Jesus the Christ. Science in the reality of life and the universe. Not contradicting but corrective of each other. The important rider is that the Christian faith and belief in this peasant from Galilee is not based on intellectual understanding, nor is it based on an act of personal will. It is based on trust. This trust develops the whole person as one commits to Jesus the Christ’s message [Gospel-‘good news’]. Then it becomes an act of knowing, willing and feeling: a trust which includes the acceptance of the Person and message as true.

Arrrr! Me’ Hearties!

An exciting competition was recently organised by Lend Lease for the people and community of Jordan Springs, with great prizes up for grabs. Jordan Springettes aged up until 12 years had the opportunity to design the new flag for the Jordan Springs Pirate Ship.

The Overall Winner will take home a $200 Eftpos voucher, with a People’s Choice Winner claiming a $100 Eftpos voucher. Age Category Winners (0-3 years, 4-8 years and 9-12 years) will also win a $50 Eftpos voucher.

The designs needed to be A4 size and judges were looking for entries that best summarised the Jordan Springs culture or paid tribute to the area’s traditional land owners.

The competition was organised through the Jordan Springs Facebook page, where entry forms were obtained through the Facebook page and the Jordan Springs Sales and Information Office. The competition ran from June 13 to July 2, 2014 and the response from all the children’s entries was overwhelming.

The Jordan Springs Gazette wishes everyone who entered the competition the best of luck and looks forward to congratulating the winners. Arrrr!

From the Principal’s Desk................ Llandilo Public School Dear Parents, Caregivers and Friends, My sincere thanks to the many families from Llandilo and Jordan Springs who have been kind enough to make positive comments about this column. As of the 27th June 2014, I have retired from full time employment with the Department of Education and Communities. Ms Joan Smyth will lead Llandilo Public School for the remainder of this year and as of next month will communicate with you via this column.

The Minister for Education Mr Adrian Piccoli and other dignitaries visited Llandilo Public School on Monday 16th June and were very impressed with our students and hard working staff. It was a pleasure hosting the visit and receiving high praise and comments of our school.

Penrith Network Director Mrs Deb Summerhayes was also a visitor to our school last month attending our Parent Assembly and applauding the wonderful entertainment provided by class 4LS. Director Summerhayes made comment of how she always enjoys visiting our place of learning to see the fabulous work produced by our students. She too, acknowledged the great work of school staff in providing and catering for the needs of our girls and boys.

In conclusion and now as an “outsider” to Llandilo school, I am steadfast in maintaining that as a local Public School, Llandilo offers a rich and diverse range of learning opportunities and curriculum and, a wide range of initiatives catering for the welfare needs of all of its students.

My Kindest Regards.

Bruno Zuliani

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

If you have been reading this column for a while, you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy. That is, not saying “good boy/girl” or “good job/work” when your child has done something well, but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why.

And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how effective it can be.

BUT… If you are also using the words “naughty” and “bad” when describing your child’s mistaken behaviour, you may find that the descriptive praise doesn’t work so well.

Why? Because words are powerful. If you use “naughty” and “bad” your child will internalise those words, and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be! I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable, even though the parents have been using descriptive praise. In each of these cases the parents have been using “naughty” and “bad” a lot.

I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating here…

REMOVE “NAUGHTY” AND “BAD” FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILD”S BEHAVIOUR!!!!

And get rid of that damned “naughty” chair or corner. Call it a “chill out” or “calm down” or “quiet time” place.

When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often, you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it.

Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood.

Think about it – if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it. In fact, if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse).

So, when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding, educating, caring for, nurturing, growing up, loving? Never.

The next question from parents is “what do I say instead?” Tell a child ‘what to do’ rather than ‘what not to do’. Always keep it positive. For example, “stand still while I fix your collar” and then follow-up with descriptive praise “thank you for staying still, it was so helpful, and it gets it done quickly”.

Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child. And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour, instead of focussing on who she is (for example, clumsy, careless), focus on what she did (for example, broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example, kick the ball towards the fence).

To find out more about positive parenting I highly recommend that you do Triple P (Positive Parenting Program). It’s fabulous!

What’s Happening at ........................

Henry Fulton Public School ?

The end of Term 2 and the beginning of Term 3 are always busy times at Henry Fulton Public School.

Our Stage 3 students returned from their three day camp at Milsons Island Sport and Recreation Camp, with a comment from the camp manager that, “our students were some of the best behaved groups they have ever had stay there”, high praise indeed.

Our school choir has been rehearsing for their performance at the Cranebrook Learning Communities Performing Arts Festival. This festival is next term and is one of the highlights on the school’s calendar. Not only do our choir perform but we also have our four dance groups performing and our members of the combined schools band.

Our whole school comes together for our K-6 Athletics Carnival at Hobartville early next term. This is a fun family day with families encouraged to attend. During the day there are lots of fun activities but there is also a serious side to the day where our school athletics team to attend the district carnival are selected. On the day the older children participate in running events (100&200m), long jump. Discus, shot putt plus many other activities. We also hold the 800m and high jump at the school in the days before the carnival.

As you can see it’s another busy time coming up at Henry Fulton Public School.

HEALTH MATTERS PARENTS CORNER

Online Forum Launched

Article by: Rhonda Rolfe - Harmonising Health P: 0430 047 421 E: rhonda@harmonisinghealth.com.au W: rhonda@harmonisinghealth.com.au

Penrith Progression launched an online forum last month, open to anyone who wants to participate in the city’s future.

Project Director Craig Butler said the forum was at Penrith Council’s Our Future site, which had been used for consultation on other subjects in previous years.

“The Penrith Progression online forum is an opportunity for residents and business people to get involved in Penrith’s future,” Mr Butler said. “Through Penrith Progression we will work together to revitalise the city centre and create local jobs.

“I know that there are many people who want to be part of this important process, but cannot make our gatherings and forums due to work and other commitments.

“This is another way you can have your say in the future of your city.” Discussion points on the site now include: What city living should look like, and How to attract people to our city centre.

It is easy to join our online forum, just go to http://ourfuture. com.au/penrith-progression to sign up and get involved. Go to our website: www.penrithprogression.com.au to find out more.

Pamper Your Skin Did you know the skin is the largest organ of the body, yet it is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health.

Not only does the skin hold us together, it also regulates body temperature, acts as a blood reservoir, protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses, allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth, coolness, touch, pressure, vibration & pain, aids in excretion and absorption of various substances, aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration. All good reasons to look after your skin.

The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water – make wise choices – even showering in chemical laden water can have an effect on your skin and your health.

Limit sun exposure – particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc. Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day.

Wear protective clothing – to protect from sun and wind.

Moisturise regularly – summer or winter your skin can dry out.

You need to replenish the moisture with effective moisturisers.

Choose these wisely. Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration. Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally. They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.

Pamper your skin – look after your health. The choice is yours!

Proactive Inspections Could Save Lives Penrith Council’s Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program has one aim – to stop drownings.

The program developed and adopted by Council in 2013 as a response to changes to state legislation, was designed to enhance the safety of children under five around backyard swimming pools.

Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council officers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections.

“The Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the City,” Cr Fowler said. “But we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible.

“We need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards. By being proactive, we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drown.”

The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas, including those that are portable and inflatable.

Fees apply for inspections. It is $150 for the first inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required.

“These fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program,” Cr Fowler said. “This is not a money-making exercise for Council, but a program aimed at saving lives.”

If your pool fence complies, a certificate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years.

You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance, before a Council inspection. Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregister. nsw.gov.au/checklists.

Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register. This includes pools in private residences, as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings.

Registration is free. Go to swimmingpoolregister.nsw.gov.au.

For more information contact Penrith Council’s Swimming Pool Administration Officer Nicole Meyers on 4732 7897, or go to penrithcity.nsw.gov. a u / B a c k y a rd - Po o l Safety/.

MONEY MATTERS PARENTS CORNER With Mathew Townley-Jones - Educated Finance P: 0423 661 196 or 4732 5888 A: Suite 11, 354 - 360 High Street Penrith NSW 2750 W: educated.com.au

Want your Kids to Move Out? Four different ways to help your kids enter the property market With over 30% [1] of adult children still living at home it’s no wonder parents may have to consider working until they are 70!

The challenge of home ownership for young Australians is an enormous issue.

However the consequences for parents are just as concerning. Studies show 46% of parents were happy to relinquish their empty-nest lifestyle and let children live at home longer if it meant children could save more money for a home deposit.

In many instances this means parents have to re-direct some of their discretionary spending, take less expensive holidays, defer purchases and work longer simply to cope with the financial responsibility of having the children live at home.

Parents need to consider the hidden costs associated with this option and the potential consequences on their future retirement lifestyle. So what are some of the solutions?

Let’s take a closer look at these options, contact us for more details about the pros and cons that come with them.

Gifts Parents can contribute financially to the deposit of a home for their children by providing the children with a lump sum of money.

Supplemental Loans Parents can provide a supplemental loan to their children with the intention that they repay. Some parents provide these additional finances with no interest.

Invest in the Property with your Children In this scenario, it is common practice for the parties to be ‘tenants in common’ rather than ‘joint tenants’. This also allows a different ownership ratio to the normal 50/50 and an alternative ownership split that may not impact their FHOG entitlement. For example, the children may purchase 75% of the property and the parents purchase 25%.

Acting as a Guarantor Some lending institutions have what is known as a Family Pledge. This enables family members with equity in their own property to help their children with additional security, thereby allowing the child to borrow up to the full cost of the home.

Call Matthew Today for your

Regardless of the option best suited for you and your children, all family finance lending arrangements should always be documented for clarity, security and peace of mind. When considering helping their children, parents need to understand possible consequences on their own retirement planning. These can be just as important as the children getting a foot in the property door.

If you would like more information on the options available to you to help your children get a head start in the property market, while protecting your own interests, please contact the office for a confidential discussion.

Want to achieve flat toned abs before Summer?

My clients routinely lose weight and transform their bodies. You can do it too!

To achieve great abs is a winning combination of fat burning cardio, resistance training and clean eating. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it, Exercise and Eating!!

Your Exercise Routine: An effective exercise routine includes intense cardiovascular training with effective resistance training. Are you doing this?

Cardio exercise is all about maintaining a high level of intensity. Unfortunately, a 30 minute walk isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a fat blasting workout. You need to push yourself!!

Resistance training is the second side to a fat burning workout. This means working your major muscle groups against challenging resistance in a way that stimulates your metabolism. The key is to find the right intensity and to keep each muscle group guessing.

Your Diet: Diet is a big stumbling block for most people. If your diet is out of control then your abs will be too. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t trim your waist without trimming the junk from your diet. Start by keeping your total calories in check. Do you know how many calories you eat?

The best way to find out is to record everything you eat for a few days. Tally the number of calories that you eat each day and do an evaluationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;feel free to recruit me to help out with this part. Together weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll chart improvements for your diet and adjust your calories for maximum results.

Do you want to flatten and sculpt your abs once and for all? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to decide that you really want it. Commit to yourselfâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you deserve it.

See me for fat-blasting workouts that deliver serious results. Together we will get you on a program that will melt the fat off your abs, exposing amazing shape and definition.
