Dayton dances at the White House Dayton Tavares, the 14 year old from Glenmore Park has been starring as Billy in the Broadway production of Billy Elliot. He performed in Sydney and Melbourne before getting the invitation to star in the Broadway production nearly a year ago. Dayton was recently chosen to dance at the inaugural performance of the new White House Dance Series. The Washington Times reported ‘Hosting the event was Michelle Obama, who brought along daughters Sasha and Malia _ just home from their first day of school _ and mom Marian Robinson, too. The first lady clapped along to some of the dances but leaped to a standing ovation when Dayton Tavares, one of Broadway’s high-flying Billy Elliots, finished his song, “Electricity,” with a virtuoso set of turns’. You can see the video on Youtube - ‘Billy Elliot at the White

House’. Dayton is now living in New York with his mother. His father and sisters still live in Glenmore Park but they keep in touch every day. What an amazing opportunity for such a young dancer.

“Spring is in the air!” Rev John Lavender Spring is in the air! Isn’t it great? The winter morning chill is gone. No more ice on the windscreen as you head off to work. Spring is a great time to get outside & do some gardening – to clear out the winter weeds, plant some new plants & even have a go at growing your own veggies! How good do home grown tomatoes taste! In the Bible’s New Testament gospel of Mark, Jesus tells a story about gardening – about growing plants & weeding. He tells of a farmer who planted some seed. As the farmer scattered the seed, some of it ended up on a path where it was eaten by the birds. Other seed fell on rocky places where it grew, but, because the soil was shallow, the plants withered and died. Some seed fell among weeds & thorn bushes, which strangled the plants as they tried to grow. Finally, seed also fell on good soil. Here it grew and produced a great crop. Jesus told this story to challenge
people to think about his message of the life out of you. Keep making sure life and hope and forgiveness. Are you you are the good soil & watch the like the seed that fell on the path? You seed grow & flourish as you keep Jeheard the message of Jesus but you sus at the centre of your life. Would didn’t take it seriously? You ignored it you like to know more?

Padro Pio Parish My nephew asked me to help him prepare for taking the exam to get his Learner’s license. So I said, “OK, what do you do at a red light?” He thought for a second before replying, “I dunno, just look around at people in other cars… listen to the radio..” It’s the end of the school life of many Year 12 kids in our area and October 14th is like a Doom’s-day for them as they cram for what possibly could be the most significant exams of their life. It’s a pressure that teenagers don’t need at this point of their lives. They have enough to worry about with pimples and part-time jobs and the noisy little brothers and sisters who don’t understand what achieving that desired UAI number really means. Over the years I have been involved with a number of families whose children have committed suicides which could be directly attributed to the tension these exams cause in a person’s
family life and friendships. So what should you do to help? If you are a parent the best thing you can do is understand. You may not think being a teenager is a lot of pressure (compared to what you are going through), but for them, this is the most pressure they have ever experienced. I remember visiting a parishioner in hospital and when I had finished, another lady in the opposite bed motioned me to come over to her. “Do you only visit Catholics or would you mind chatting with me for a minute?” Of course I welcomed speaking with her. She said, “One day my 16 year old daughter came home from school and told me that Grant had ‘dropped’ her. I was rushing to do my shift at the hospital where I was a nurse so I said dismissively “Don’t worry Michelle, you are only 16. You have your whole life in front of you.. you are a pretty girl and you will get another boyfriend. Bye, I have to run”. When I came home that night I found a note on the table saying, “Well Mum, I may be only 16 but I will never get any older and I will never get another boyfriend. Thanks for not caring!” I found her hanging in the garage. Please tell parents to always listen to their kids.
I have regretted not listening to my daughter for over 30 years.” Those haunting words of advice have always rung in my ears around this time of the year as parents complain that a drama is unfolding in their house over the HSC. So for whatever reason teenagers think that things will never get any better than they are, or that this exam equals determining the rest of their life’s agenda, it is up to you to try to show your kids that you love them unconditionally and that life’s value is not able to be evaluated by an exam. And always give your kids the reassurance that God is always there to help when the pressure gets too great. Kevin Lee

Spring Gardening with Glenmore Nursery October is when a large number of indigenous plants are out in flower. Natives require less water than exotics and encourage birds into the garden. They prefer a slow release fertiliser or blood and bone, as they are sensitive to phosphorous. Take note of the natives that are flowering in your neighbourhood.
Many of the garden pests are now active so keep a look out for them. Plan your prevention or your attack. Hopefully you have treated your lawns for weeds, and fertilised them. Any plants that have been affected by frost can now be pruned. Deadhead spring annuals and liquid feed for further blooms. Plant passion fruit, and your second crop of tomatoes, cumcumber, zucchini, lettuce etc. Apply liquid fertiliser to veggies and flowers every two weeks. Start mulching to prepare for the hotter weather.
Wallacia Ladies Lawn Bowls Tanya Kelly, Kerrie Quinn and Tracy Smith from Wallacia Bowling Club recently entered the District Triples Championships for “a bit of fun” and ended up winning the event.They then progressed to the Zone Championships which they also won. From there they went on to represent the Zone at the State Championships at Forster but were unfortunately defeated. This was a great achievement for these girls, 2 of whom have only been
bowling for a couple of years. The average age of the team was less than 40 which goes to show that you don’t have to wait to retire to play bowls. On that note Wallacia Womens Bowling Club is urgently seeking new bowling members. Our play days are Thursdays from 10am and Saturdays from 1pm (for those ladies who work during the week) but we also have Social Mixed Bowls on Friday afternoons at 5pm ( Daylight Saving Time) and Sunday Mornings at 9am (includes breakfast.) If you aged between 14 and 114 and think you may be interested in playing please come along to an
Open Day on Saturday 20th November at 12 o’clock.
1 Roma Ave, Wallacia. We will introduce you to the concept of bowls and give you some practical instruction in the game. You don’t need any special gear on the day. You can play barefoot and we will provide you with bowls. If you are interested please call the Wallacia Bowling Club on 4773 8096 to register so that we have a general idea of numbers. If you would like any further information please call Sue Ashurst on 0419 012 915.

Bargain Baby & Kids Goods in Penrith With over 60 stalls to choose from, the Baby & Kids Market is the perfect place to stock up on furniture, prams, toys, clothes, books and just about anything imaginable for babies and children – without it costing the earth. With stallholders selling their ‘gently used’ wares at very reasonable prices. Anne Lewis, the Market’s founder says. “You’ll find fantastic pre-loved brand name items in top condition, and often save around 70% off the retail price. Our stallholders are parents who want to find good homes for things their families no longer use and earn some money at the same time”. Whether you need to furnish the entire nursery for a baby on the way, or are looking to fill your threeyear-old’s toy box or stock up on clothes for a fast-growing five-yearold, you’re bound to find exactly what you need. “We all want the best stuff for our kids, but don’t want to waste money or add to landfill. Kids grow so fast that some items barely get used before they’ve outgrown them. Buying
‘gently used’ goods like high chairs, prams, bikes, cots, toys, change tables, playpens, clothes and DVDs from other parents makes perfect sense.

Schools Writers’ Festival Students from the local primary schools that feed into Glenmore Park High wrote poetry for the event. Each school selected students to represent their school at the festival. On the night of the festival all the eager poets and their families listened to guest speaker Steven Herrick speak about writing and recite some of his poems. Steven Herrick lives in the mountains and is a published children’s author and poet. The students were then divided into small groups so they could read their own poetry to students from other
Phone: 0435 874 850 Email: tanya.davies@nsw.liberal.org.au schools and their families. Afterwards students were presented with a certificate and a book containing all the students’ poems by the guest speaker. During supper many of the students took the opportunity to get Steven Herrick to sign their books. The night was a great opportunity to recognise students with an interest and talent in writing.

Your Family Questions Answered Welcome to Advantage Psychology Glenmore Park. We are a team of clinical psychologists specialising in child, adolescent and adult mental health. These are some of the questions that our Psychologists assist with:
Psychological counselling for children, adolescents, adults & couples.
• How do I talk to my child/adolescent about sex? It is important that the ‘sex’ talk is not avoided as your children will learn that some topics are ‘off bounds’ instantly shutting down communication channels. It is also important to discuss sex with children so that they learn the appropriate information from an adult and not their friends. Take this as an opportunity to communicate your values about sex.

• My teenager might be taking drugs, what do I do? It is important to talk openly to teenagers about drugs and alcohol. Teenagers’ brains are still developing, alcohol and substance use can be very detrimental to the developing teenage brain. In fact, teenagers that engage in substance use are more likely to develop addictions because their brain is more vulnerable to the ‘highs’ they may experience when consuming a substance. If you suspect that your adolescent is engaging in substance use, openly discuss the matter with them and have them see a professional. There should be a zero tolerance for drugs and alcohol in your home, we have personally encouraged the use of breathalysers after parties to ensure adolescents are compliant, in families we have worked with.

• My husband and I seem to be drifting apart, should we seek counselling? There are many reasons why the two of you may be drifting apart, perhaps it is a communication problem, perhaps there is a history of significant stressors that are unresolved, it is always best to see a marriage counsellor for an exploration of what the underlying problem may be. However often ‘time’ plays a huge role. When was the last time you went on a date with your husband? Have you noticed that your relationship has deteriorated since increased work responsibilities? What were you doing early on in the relationship that worked for the two of you? Our advice to clients is to nurture their relationship. Make time to go out on a date at least once a month, look after yourself and your appearance in the ways you used to when you first started going out, talk to each other about anything but the kids when you go on dates, surprise each other with a note or a message. • How can I tell if my husband is depressed? Depression in men often manifests differently than in women. Aggression as a symptom of underlying depression is very common in men. Additional signs include social withdrawal, fatigue, irritability, sadness, weight loss or gain, difficulty with sleep. Men find it difficult to seek psychological intervention due to the social stigma associated with men and talking about their problems. We would like to encourage all men to take a step in changing this unhelpful stigma and model appropriate coping behaviour by acknowledging where help is due. Please note that the advice provided in this column is very basic and does not take into account an individual’s situational circumstances. For individual advice please contact the Advantage Psychology office on 9623 0270 for an assessment. www.glenmoregazette.com.au

Sing and Be Happy Men of all ages. Do you like singing? Consider joining a local chorus that sings in four part harmony in Barbershop style. Penrith City Harmony Chorus is holding a Visitors Night on Monday 18th October at the John Lees Centre, Evan Street, Penrith from 7:00p.m. The Penrith City Harmony Chorus has been singing for over twenty years, performing in competitions and singing to entertain community groups and at corporate functions. Community singing is a great pastime for men of all ages. Family men might enjoy an evening’s break from the kids, and older men might be looking for a retirement interest. Medical research shows that singing helps you keep your mind sharp and contributes to general well-being. You can make new friends and enjoy the adrenalin rush that comes from performing before an audience. Barbershop singing is a Capella style (no music accompaniment) and the beautiful blends come from the bass, baritone, lead and tenor voices. The repertoire is extensive and includes Beach Boys, Beatles and Everly Brothers songs. We also sing favourites such as Danny Boy, Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Miserables and What
a Wonderful World. Come along to our Visitors Night and see what you think. For further enquiries phone Paul Ryan 47352637 or Russell Davies 47351154.
Accessing 24 Hour Health Advice NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for Health, Carmel Tebbutt, has reminded families heading off on holidays about the convenience of accessing health advice through the 24-hour health hotline, healthdirect Australia. Families holidaying in NSW, ACT, NT, SA, WA and Tasmania can access the hotline – which is answered by registered nurses – by calling 1800 022 222. “The NSW Government contributes more than $12 million each year to ensure NSW families have immediate access to health information and advice from registered nurses around the clock,” Ms Tebbutt said.“It is important that people with a health emergency still call triple zero, but for other health enquiries the healthdirect Australia number is the ideal number to call, at any time of the day or night. “This is an excellent service used regularly by families at home, but it can also be particularly valuable for parents who need healthcare advice while in unfamiliar areas, such as when on holidays.” All calls to healthdirect Australia are answered by registered nurses, who are supported by up-to-date computerbased clinical resources, as well as an electronic directory of local services and facilities. Those requiring follow up treatment are advised where and when they can seek help. Calls to healthdirect Australia from landlines are free of charge, but from mobile phones charges may apply.

Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital Renovations Since I purchased the veterinary hospital in January 2010, we have been busy reorganising and painting the premises every weekend. A friend of mine, Pete, has been the handyman to help out during the renovation process. Even the nurses have helped out by preparing the walls during the week, so we can maximise the painting times on the weekends. After consulting on Saturday morning we work through to Sunday lunchtime, and it looks like a bomb has gone off here. We have been busy renovating the hospital including: patching holes, sanding, gyprocking walls, putting up shelves, installing new cupboards, moving things around, moving power points, and had new drainage installed so the veterinary hospital does not flood when it rains. Then on Sunday night we clean the hospital ready for Monday morning again. New cupboards have been made to store stock and equipment. This makes the rooms easier to clean and keeps it looking tidy. The walls have been freshly painted which has brightened the appearance of the hospital greatly. It took three coats of paint to cover the original green walls
and dark brown window frames, skirting boards and door jams. To minimise the spread of infection from animal to animal, we disinfect the floors several times a day. The kennel room floors have been acid washed and freshly painted with a paving paint, which makes it so much easier to clean the floors daily. The new paving paint has made cleaning a breeze. It has been fun changing things around on the weekends, and then on Monday when the nurses arrive they look forward to discovering what changes have been made. It became a game between me and the nurses, to see how long it took them to notice that something had been moved or changed or painted. Sometimes they did not notice some of the smaller changes until mid week. Which was hilarious, when out of the blue they would call out, “Hey, did you change this last weekend?”. Thank you to all of our clients who have offered their handy hints throughout the renovation process. It has been very helpful. Of course, it would have have been more helpful if you had offered to help paint. Ha Ha! Bella and Pony who are my dogs, usually come to the veterinary hospital every day with me. During the renovation process I left the dogs at home on the weekends as we did not want
to get dog hair on the freshly painted walls. Can you imagine Pony stepping in a paint tray and turning into a Dalmation?? I can! I have 2 pet sheep at home, who are probably hanging out for me to finish painting, so they can have peaceful weekends again, rather than be chased the yard around by Pony. Now that the veterinary hospital is freshly painted, new artwork has been hung. It has been a dream of mine for years to have David Darcy prints on my hospital walls and my dream has finally been realised. David Darcy grew up in Springwood and is the best selling author/photographer of 4 books, including Mongrel Country. His pictures are breath taking! Come and see the beautiful pictures by David Darcy, we have 4 of them. Let us know which picture is your favorite! Renovations still to come, include a fenced off back yard. I am sure we will find more things to change/adjust/modify/paint, as any renovation is a work in progress and is never ending! Please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital. Call 4736 2027 to make an appointment. Camille Brandt BVSc (Hons I), MVS (SAP)
