Local News Roundup Double Bay Organic Market

With Spring around the corner it’s time to give yourself a treat and pop down to Double Bay Organic Food Market in Guilfoyle Park. You can find food, fashion, coffee, cakes, fruit, flowers, pony rides, a bouncy castle and more all in delightful green surroundings.

From: 9am- 2pm On: Every Thursday At: Guilfoyle Park, Double Bay

david & goliath A recent book by Malcolm Gladwell is titled “David & Goliath” and you won’t be surprised to learn that it’s about our Biblical Heroes.

Everyone, of course, knows the story. Goliath is a monster of a man, at least six foot nine (205cm), with a bronze helmet, fully armoured and carrying a javelin, spear and sword. On top of that, as if even needed, he is preceded by an attendant carrying a large shield. Clearly, he is well prepared for what lies ahead. David, by contrast, is a modest young shepherd, with no armour and carrying only a sling, five smooth stones and his shepherd’s staff. He has no training as a soldier and it seems he enters the battle purely on impulse. It certainly seems a uneven match.

mistake of judging by appearances and the reality is different. Medical experts now believe Goliath suffered from acromegaly. Caused by a tumour of the pituitary gland it results in an overproduction of growth hormones and leads to ungainly height, slow movement, restricted sight and double vision. David is young, mobile, unencumbered with armour, and when he slung his stone it would have hit Goliath’s head at 34 metres a second, enough to penetrate his skull and render him unconscious or dead . “Slingers” in fact made up a large part of many ancient armies and could reportedly hit a bird in flight. So the contest is not as lopsided as first appears and Malcolm reminds us that not everything big is better. That’s why Eastern Suburbs Life publishes articles by, and about, smaller businesses and those that are “Tucked Away”.

Of course, we all know the outcome and in just a few moments Goliath is dead and has his head chopped off. Surely it’s a miracle. Not so, says Malcolm. We have made the

'To sleep – perchance to dream…’ Shakespeare’s Hamlet sums up the lament of countless people in the present day who suffer from insomnia.

HEALTH

In my practice I often see patients who are sleep-deprived and suffering consequences such as stress and low immunity. Usually there are other factors at work like mental health issues and poor nutrition, and the insomnia is one of a number of symptoms. The typical pattern is someone who lies in bed and can’t fall asleep for several hours. However, another common pattern of insomnia is someone who goes to bed at ten or eleven o’clock, then enjoys a good night’s sleep until three, four or five in the morning. If you are waking at five, it might not be worth trying to get back to sleep. But if it’s at three, I tell people to try getting up for 15 minutes, then going back to bed and practicing some mindfulness, focusing on the present and not getting caught up in your thoughts.

Dr Lyn Tendek Dr Lyn Tendek

Getting a good night’s sleep the natural way

There is a whole pharmacopoeia devoted to helping you sleep. I strongly caution patients against use of tranquilisers and barbiturates. Instead, I usually recommend natural solutions, taking a holistic approach with improvements in diet, fitness regime, etc.

If your Melatonin is low, your doctor may prescribe Melatonin. And various supplements like Magnesium can also help you get a good night’s sleep. You can get different combinations which also contain calming herbs.

Inositol has been called ‘Nature’s sleeping pill.’ It is a little-known member of the Vitamin B family that calms the racing mind. People can take it before going to bed and some people also take it during the day.

EDGE WELLNESS

8/201 New South Head Rd, Edgecliff 9363 5050 www.edgewellness.com.au

Passionflower is the name for an entire genus of plants, some species of which have been used for many years in Europe to treat anxiety, agitation and, yes, you guessed it, insomnia! Zizyphus is a seed that has been used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years to improve sleep quality and enhance mental relaxation.

Sleep and devices

Try using one of the mindfulness apps like Smiling Minds or CBT based insomnia programs such as SHUTi. Talking of apps, devices they can frequently be one of the causes of your lack of sleep. The blue light from screens decreases our production of Melatonin, the hormone that governs the sleep-wake cycle by controlling your circadian rhythms. To counter the reduction in your Melatonin levels, you can use the Night Shift setting on your phone – it gives the screen an orangey-yellow glow – but it’s best to stop or at least minimise your use of devices after dinner.

CONSIDERING HOMEOPATHY?

The origins of homeopathy can be traced to as far back as 400 BC when Hippocrates suggested the concept of “like cures like” and prescribed a small dose of mandrake root to treat mania, knowing it produces mania in much larger doses. However, its present day status can be traced back to Samuel Hahnemann who first used the word Homeopathy in print in 1807. The word was derived from the Greek words of “like suffering”.

E N E O R I F S S E S

Although similar in concept to vaccines homeopathic treatments are not vaccines and should not be considered for use in the same way. Immunisation is a medical term and refers to the process by which the body is stimulated to develop resistance to a variety of infections. Vaccines are made from germs and work by stimulating the body to form antibodies (specialised germ-fighting cells) to produce immunity. Homeopaths aim to treat the whole person, taking into account personality, lifestyle and hereditary factors, as well as the history of the disease. Since all people are unique, homeopathic medicines are prescribed to treat individuals.

or n er e g od pap y P s x O ng new i c t i L ar oa ES rb Fl his e r t yp a o een H n s 8 or au ave 201 y S , h ap d u 31 er are n yo Oct h t fr o s ro r In enti end d r Hy m o or moffe c ni oo ad lo t R this o C Sal ow h ts

To determine a treatment plan for a person, a homeopath will consider all of the person’s symptoms (physical, mental or emotional) and identify the remedy that is capable of producing in a healthy person, symptoms most ‘like’ the symptoms the person is suffering from. Homeopathic medicines can be in the form of liquid, granules, powder or tablets. Your practitioner might also advise general lifestyle and dietary changes as part of a treatment plan. Homeopaths indicate that sometimes symptoms may temporarily get worse before they get better. This ‘aggravation’ of symptoms can be part of the homeopathic treatment.

However, you should tell your homeopath and your doctor if you have reactions. Your homeopath may refer you to a doctor or other healthcare practitioner if necessary. If you are considering homeopathy it is important to use a registered practitioner. In Australia, the Australian Register of Homoeopaths (AROH) is the independent (nongovernment) national registration board for professional homeopaths. Practitioners who choose to register with AROH are recognised by all the major health insurance funds for rebates on ancillary benefit tables.

Want to have your teeth maintained and treated by a caring and gentle dental team? While enjoying the comforts of a modern, state-of-the-art clinic?

Make an impact with your SMILE

At Striking Smile, Dr Melissa Giddings heads a team dedicated to keeping you in peak oral health, and looking good too! "It means so much to people when they are able to smile with confidence," Dr Melissa says. "You can always tell when someone isn't comfortable with their smile, because they smile with the lips, not the whole mouth. When we restore our patients' teeth, the results can be really life-changing." As well as Melissa, the practice employs two other dentists as well as two oral health therapists, five dental assistants, and two front office staff. At the clinic, they offer everything from checkups on kids, to teeth whitening and high-end cosmetic work. This is also the place to come for clear aligners (braces), crown and bridge work, veneers and implants. At Striking Smile, you will also experience and benefit from the latest in dental technology. This includes 3D imaging equipment and a milling machine. The Milling Machine is basically a 3D printer that makes teeth! This means a lot of work can be carried out in a single visit, instead of having to go away with temporary crowns and coming back again in one or two weeks to complete the treatment. Even the patient chairs in the four treatment rooms have the latest in comfort technology.

MV Organic Skincare MV organic skincare is a leader in beautiful aromatherapy range, containing the purest essential oils for all skin types and conditions, including rosacea, acne and porous dehydrated skin and is safe and nourishing when undergoing chemotherapy treatment.

Sharon McGlinchey dedicated herself to formulating this brand in order to restore harmony to the skin, and to help women make good choices about their skincare and empower them to see how this also impacts their health and sense of wellbeing. MV is often considered to be "the range" as a go-to for sensitive skin - however it is potent in treating all skin conditions, acne, porous congested skin, and absolute luxury for good skin! With its base of pure essential oils, MV skincare is a leader, using aromatherapy in skincare with Sharon's understanding of the healing benefits of essential oils for more than 20 years. Another thing that is exquisite about this brand is the philosophy held by Sharon, not only concerning her passion for strong, healthy skin, but also for her wisdom when it comes to educating and empowering women to make good choices in their skincare and in doing so, recognising that this is an

important part of supporting their innate health and wellbeing.

Sharon observes that most women are devoted to their beauty routine, but few question the ethics behind the products, procedures and advice that clutters their bathroom cabinet. As one of Australia's original Beauty rebels and Beauty disrupters, she spent 20 years educating clients about the toxic reality of the commercial beauty industry and advocating for a paradigm shift - away from the sludge of chemicals, cheap fillers, never ending new product launches and questionable marketing claims, to one built on deeper values, simplicity, integrity, nature-nurture and an intrinsic understanding that skincare is selfcare. MV Organic skincare has won many awards, and recently 2018 Beauty Awards: Best Natural/Organic skincare in Australia Best Face Mask - MV Energising Mineral Mask Best Cleanser - MV Cream Cleanser Editors Choice Award: MV Rose Soothing & Protective Moisturiser Best Night Treatment and Best After Sun Treatment: MV Instant Revival At Sage Beauty, we offer a blend of authentic organic beauty products, partnered with various holistic therapies to treat the whole body in a dynamic way, and support its natural cyclic processes.

L–R Clai Mer Phil Jan Cas

The most common cause of adult acquired hearing loss is Presbycusis, or ‘age-related’ hearing loss. Presbycusis is the most common type of inner ear hearing loss, caused by the natural aging of the auditory system. It occurs gradually and affects the hearing in both ears. The hearing loss initially affects the ability to hear higher pitched (higher frequency) sounds, and this makes it difficult to hear group conversations or conversation in noisy environments. Approximately 30 to 35 percent of adults between the ages of 65 and 70 have some degree of hearing loss, and for the majority the cause is Presbycusis. The percentage rises to 40 to 50 percent of individuals over the age of 75. Here are some indications of Presbycusis: • Others appear to be mumbling or slurring their speech. • Conversations are difficult to understand, especially in background noise. • Certain sounds seem overly loud or annoying.

• You have difficulty hearing higher pitched sounds, such as the children or birds chirping. • Men’s voices are easier to understand than women’s voices. Scientists don't know how to prevent agerelated hearing loss. However, you can protect yourself from making a hearing loss worse by avoiding over-exposure to damaging loud sounds. It's important to be aware of potential sources of damaging noises, such as loud music, firearms, jack-hammers, loud motors and electric tools. Avoiding loud noises, reducing the amount of time you're exposed to loud noise, and protecting your ears with ear plugs or ear muffs are easy things you can do to protect your hearing and limit the amount of hearing you might lose as you get older. If you ever receive a diagnosis of Presbycusis, congratulations!! you’ve lived long enough to develop age-related hearing loss and you’re in very good company. If you suspect you have an age-related hearing loss, then call Edgecliff Hearing to be assessed.

Perfect for early evening alfresco dining or for takeaway, Habibay also provides home delivery through Foodora and Zomato (Urban Spoon). Priced competitively, all their meals provide great value for money.

Habib is a popular personal name throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and is also frequently used (as in this case) to mean “Friend” or, in Australia, “Mate” – No doubt this explains the warm welcome always received on arrival. It is open from 8 am to 8pm, 7 days a week, so you can enjoy Habibay cuisine for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This also means it’s a very popular stopping off point for children after school and Mums & Dads grabbing a takeaway family meal on the way home.

Coffee lovers will be pleased to find sensibly priced coffee (flat white, long black, short black, latte, cappuccino) and zesty Eastern Mediterranean coffee served in Rakwaa. So, if you’re looking for a friendly home from home that brings the flavours of the Eastern Mediterranean to Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs, Habibay is your place. Be sure to give it a try.

Recently arrived in Rose Bay, Habibay Mediterranean Cuisine provides a warm welcome to all and offers something for the whole family.

You can also choose from Sambouski (meat filled pastries), Batata Kazbara (fried potato in lemon, garlic and parsley) and Roasted Veggies and their mixed plates are great value starting from $15 and with a Habibay Family Plate for just $35.

8 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES With interest rates creeping upwards, many people are becoming nervous about the bond market. Should you sell your bonds? No, says, retirement planning adviser Brendan Whitehouse. "Bonds stabilise your portfolio," said Brendan, Director of BRW Financial Group. "They’re an investment you can reply on when the sharemarket takes a dive."

YOUR FREE NEWSPAPER PROMOTING LOCAL BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITIES

WHY YOU SHOULD HOLD ONTO YOUR BONDS

For investors with short time frames – less than 12 months – term deposits, which carry a government guarantee, may be a good match, but those with longer investment horizons may want to consider bonds, which can offer higher yields than term deposits and significantly lower volatility than equities.

"There was a negative return of 4.66 per cent in 1994, then the market went down by 1.22 per cent in 1998. In comparison, the equities market has gone through a number of horror years over the same period, with disasters like the tech crash of 2002 and the 2008 GFC. So bonds provide greater certainty than shares."

When invested across the variety of fixed income sectors that make up the US$100 trillion-plus global bond market, a bond allocation can provide an attractive, low-risk anchor for a portfolio, supporting capital preservation and income.

With interest rates not predicted to rise dramatically in the short to medium term, Brendan sees the bond market continuing to provide modest but reliable returns.

Brendan Whitehouse

How do bonds work?

BRW Financial Group 1300 650 574 www.brwfg.com.au

When you buy bonds, you are lending money to a government or company. You enter into a contract and the loan is for a term, although you don’t have to hold it to maturity. Along the way, you are paid a ‘coupon’ or yield based on interest rates at the time. The amount and timing of coupons is fixed and certain, provided the issuer doesn’t default.

Your Friendly Funeral Guy

Chris Cullen

A funeral is one of the most significant events in our lives. We are saying farewell to someone with whom we have laughed, cried, worked, and holidayed, shared meals with and enjoyed life together. Our loved ones were with us at births and weddings, christenings and 21st birthdays, Bar Mitzvah’s, house warmings and for so many of the wonderful joys of life. They have also shared and supported us when times have been tough, when we’ve struggled financially, been dealing with illness and disease, or grieving the loss of a job, a relationship or another person who has passed away. Perhaps one reason we don’t talk with our loved ones about their funeral is because we don’t want to think about that time when they will be gone. Or maybe we don’t want to upset the person by raising the matter. You might be worried that your loved one will think you are wishing them away.

Bonds are structured with either fixed or floating rates. In the latter case the rate moves in line with movements in a benchmark shortterm rate (such as the one-month bank bill rate).

How do bonds compare to term deposits?

Brendan cited research by bond giant PIMCO which showed Treasury Bonds have only dipped twice in the last quarter century.

In July, I had the joy of seeing my son get married. It was a wonderful occasion for our family. He and his wife had been engaged for about 7 months and had spent countless hours planning all the details. Have you ever wondered why people spend months or even years preparing for a wedding, or the birth of a new child, yet they leave the funeral arrangements for someone they love to be done in a few days after death?

moment, your return on the 10 year Government Bond is around 21.0 per cent, reflecting the higher risk of default. In comparison, lending to the US on a 10 year Government Bond, it’s around 2.90 per cent but your investment is gilt-edged because US Treasury Bonds are regarded as the safest in the world."

I know it can be a hard topic to raise, but from my experience as a Funeral Director I can assure you that the most meaningful funerals are the ones in which the family have talked with their loved one in advance. Every family I meet wants to honour the legacy and character of their mum, dad, brother, sister, son, daughter, aunt or uncle. Sadly, sometimes families say to me about the funeral: “We don’t know what she/he would have wanted”. The best way to make sure the funeral of your loved one is what they would want is to talk with them about it now. Perhaps you can start the conversation by talking about your own thoughts like this: “I’ve decided I’d like to buried when I die. What do you think Dad?” Or: “I really love the music of U2 and I’d like the song With or Without You played at my funeral. Do you have a favourite song you’d like played at your funeral Mum?” If you’d like to have a “no-strings-attached” free funeral planning consultation I’d be happy to assist you to have this most important conversation.

King Henry VIII of England dissolved the monasteries, sending their monks out into the general public. Whisky production moved out of a monastic setting and into personal homes and farms as newly independent monks needed to find a way to earn money for themselves.

Whisky has been distilled in Scotland for hundreds of years. There is some evidence to show that the art of distilling could have been brought to the country by Christian missionary monks, but it has never been proved that Highland farmers did not themselves discover how to distil spirits from their surplus barley.

Another report states that when King James IV was in Inverness during September 1506, his Treasurer’s Accounts had entries for the 15th and 17th of the month respectively: ‘For aqua vite to the King. . .’ and ‘For ane flacat of aqua vite to the King. . .’. Flacat derives from the Latin word “Flasco” meaning bottle. So mixing Gaelic & Latin, with a possible tinge of French, we have one bottle (flask) of whisky for the King.

The earliest historical reference to whisky comes much later, Mr J Marshall Robb, in his book ‘Scotch Whisky’, says: ‘The oldest reference to whisky occurs in the Scottish Exchequer Rolls for 1494, where there is an entry of ‘eight bolls of malt to Friar John Cor wherewith to make aquavitae’.

The earliest reference to a distillery in the Acts of the Scottish Parliament appears to be in 1690, when mention is made of the famous Ferintosh distillery owned by Duncan Forbes of Culloden.

Here again we have whisky being called “water of life” (aquavitae), only this time in Latin. A “boll”, by the way, was an old Scottish measure of not more than six bushels. (One bushel is equivalent to 25.4 kilograms)

There is also a reference to distilling in a private house in the parish of Gamrie in Banffshire in 1614. This occurs in the Register of the Privy Council, where a man accused of the crime of breaking into a private house.

James IV of Scotland (r. 1488–1513) reportedly had a great liking for Scotch whisky, and in 1506 the town of Dundee purchased a large amount of whisky from the Guild of Barber Surgeons, which held the monopoly on production at the time. Between 1536 and 1541,

Whisky clearly had magnificent history even before we reach the year 1700.

The term ‘whisky’ derives originally from the Gaelic ‘uisge beatha’, or ‘usquebaugh’, meaning ‘water of life’. Gaelic, of course, is that branch of Celtic spoken in the Highlands of Scotland.

Sporting Idioms we use everyday

Here are a few of the common ones and how they came about. So let’s get the ball rolling – no mystery here, because no ball game can start until exactly that happens. But what about if your snookered, well snooker players may know what it means, but many who use the phrase may not. If you’re snookered it means your snooker opponent has left you unable to take a direct shot without striking a ball out of the required order. It can cost you the game unless you can play the ball off the cushion. And in billiards, the phrase spot on comes from the time the table is set up to start the game. The red ball must be placed exactly on the spot on the table, or it can give an unfair advantage to the opening player. It must be exactly on the spot, or spot on. If not the person who has set up the table can be regarded as having dropped the baton, i.e. not done exactly what is required to succeed as when a runner in a relay fluffs the handover of the baton to another runner.

At which point the rider is cock-a-hoop, a 17th century phrase that means celebrating by turning the tap on a keg of alcohol to drink a toast to victory.

20 Sports Idioms That’s hardly the behaviour of a hands-down winner, a phrase that says the winner of a horse 1. On the home stretch. 2. Front runner. race has relaxed his grip on the reins of his 3. The ball is in your court. horse once the race is won. 4. Par for the course. 5. Out of someone's league.

6. Two strikes/Three strikes and you're out. 7. Drop the ball. 8. Hit a home run/Knock it out of the park. 9. Strike out. 10. Out of left field. 11. Down to the wire. 12. Hands down. 13. Neck and neck. 14. Down and out. 15. Down for the count. 16. Hit below the belt.

17. Throw in the towel. 18. Roll with the punches. 19. Jumping the gun. 20. Right out of the gate. We’d better stop here because we are down to the wire (almost at the very end-wire-of the horse race) and don’t want to drop the ball (a rugby term) by being unable to finish in style (reportedly used in horse dressage).

AC Certainly, it’s the well documented story of James Porter a Cockney convict born in London 1805 and transported to Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania) in 1823 for stealing beaver furs. It is well remembered as a folk story in Tasmania and celebrated in Australia’s longest running play “The Ship That Never Was” which performs every night at Strahan, Macquarie Harbour, where the escape began. I first heard about it back in the 90’s when an actor friend performed in it. ESL So it’s been on your mind for a while. What was it that drew you to it? AC I think it’s the indomitable spirit of James Porter. He was flogged over 300 times (frequently 50 lashes a time) and still his spirit was not diminished. He could not stand tyrants and constantly fought against them. Yet, when in the charge, of more benevolent masters he was cooperative and constructive. He even wrote a two part autobiography when later sent to Norfolk Island. ESL AC

So he was “smart” as well as spirited? Yes, and he had a mischievous streak as well. Asked his trade when he arrived at Van Diemen’s Land he replied “beer-machine maker” - his interviewer dutifully wrote it down, unaware of the wit.

ESL It’s a long time between the 1990’s and now. I understand you have written other books in between times. Are they in a similar vein? AC In a way they are. All three contain characters who have no moral compass (or at least ones that are grossly distorted). The Ship That Never Was addresses the character of Lieutenant-governor George Arthur who wielded more power than any politician in Australia’s history. He contrived to make Van Diemen’s Land independent of New South Wales and then set up its own Supreme Court. Effectively he made all the laws and surrounded himself with a network of spies, magistrates and police to enforce them.

ESL I’ve done a bit of research and it seems the book is doing very well. Do you have plans for another book in the future? AC Well, I am pleased with the result, especially as it’s a story about my home country of Australia. At this time it seems it is number two on the Dymocks Best Seller History list and number six on Amazon Kindle. As for another title, I have a few in mind, but will let you find out what in due course. It will, however, be similar in that it will be entertaining fact and not fiction. I’m happier with that format, than creating stories.

ESL Adam, it’s been a delighted talking with you and we look forward to your next book with great anticipation.

pollution and the modern car

Take the Model-T, there were no emission laws when the Model-T was built. It’s low compression engine was not hot enough to form nitrogen oxides, therefore no smog.

Fuel level was measured by a “dipstick” under the driver’s seat that went straight into the fuel tank and literally measured the depth of the fuel and would not pass laws these days. However, look at it. It was a work of art, a revolution and beautiful; it taught us to travel and here we are today, travelling in truly amazing cars. I asked Joshua from Edgecliff Automotive how to responsibly minimise the damage that our cars could do. Josh said practical things – like, keep the tyres pumped up to the right pressure; driving in the city traffic is hard on tyres, many corners and sudden stops. Know the pressure that should be in your tyres and maintain tyre efficiency. He suggested you drive your car to the country every now and then, good for you and the car. Always use the fuel recommended by the manufacturer and service your car at the interval specified in the manual. Those maintenance procedures not only keep your car running well, keep air filters clean, they allow the technicians to spot something that may need attention later; they keep the engine tuned so it runs as it is supposed to with as little pollution as possible.

Our computer analysis reports on anything not working, or beginning to malfunction. At Edgecliff Automotive, we send you an SMS reminding you your service is due; 3 weeks after your car has left the workshop, we followup; we record in your file anything that needs to be watched; the technicians know your car’s idiosyncracies.

Josh and his team at Edgecliff and Cooper Park Garage keep your car running at its optimum.

EASTERN SUBURBS

Buying a family home is a very exciting and emotional experience! All the family’s wish lists have to be considered and no-one's dreams left out. It’s a big call, so here are a few tips. A good start is to make a tick-box list of all the requirements you need to satisfy. Do it well before consulting professional advisers so you can give them a clear brief about the property you are seeking. Here are ten things we suggest you consider when choosing your dream family home:

BUYING A FAMILY HOME

music more important?

5. To garden, or not to garden?

A dream family home needs space for children pets and entertainment, but do you also need space for hobbies and growing vegetables? You’re in the driving seat, so now’s the time to decide.

6. Time is short and shopping bags can be heavy So take a little time to think about ease of parking or proximity to public transport.

7. What about the future?

Toddlers turn into teenagers. Can bedrooms double up as studies for industrious students, and can wardrobes cope with teenage changes in fashion tastes?

1. Be realistic about affordability

Knowing your budget will focus your attention on the properties you can really afford without struggling. Bear in mind any increased expenses due to your new address.

8. Feeling safe and secure is important

for every family, so take some time to research crime statistics in neighbourhoods you are considering.

2. Choose your location carefully

9. Don’t get built out

Think about schools if you have children, and access to hospitals & medical centres for easy access to rapid treatment in an emergency for young or old.

Find out about local land an environment controls and local council building regulations. Also make sure no major developments are planned in the foreseeable future.

3. How easy is it to get around?

10. Save time on wasted trips

The picture looks great and the garden looks lovely, but will it fit your family? Taking a close look at the floor plan can often tell you, and save you a trip to a property that will never fit.

How easy is the drive to work, and how good is the public transport? Travel can consume a big part of the family’s time, so aim to make it as manageable as possible.

4. Find out about local amenities

Michelle Brooks, Raine & Horne 385 New South Head Rd, Double Bay 0414 317 317 rhdb.com.au

Decide what’s important for your family. Is it swimming pools, sports centres and supermarkets or are movies, libraries and

Navigating THE HAZARDS OF PROPERTY LAW Buying or selling a property? Get the right legal advice to make sure you don’t discover one of the many pitfalls which can await the unwary. Rose Bay lawyer, Tony Laumberg assists both purchasers and vendors in property transactions. Before you sign that contract, he’ll make sure there aren’t any nasty surprises such as unreasonable clauses, illegal structures or encroachments. Tony says: “For vendors it’s a matter of making sure the contract is in proper order and attaches all documentation required by

law – every year, the amount of documentation is increasing. “For purchasers, I ensure there is due diligence so the transaction doesn’t end in tears.” He tells of one man who sought his help after buying what he thought was his dream home at an auction, a brand new house in the southern suburbs. Once Tony looked into the contract, he discovered the property had been built by an unregistered builder. “He was left with a terrible legal mess,” says Tony. “I said to him ‘If only you’d come to me before signing the contract, I would have found out very quickly what the problem was.’”

Help with leases

Tony can also assist you to navigate the challenging waters of commercial and retail leases. More often than not, he says tenants do not have an adequate grasp of what is in their lease. “One client found out he had been charged for council rates over the last six years and this wasn’t allowed under the lease. I’m now helping him make a back payment claim for over $20,000 including interest.“ On the other side of the coin, Tony also acts for landlords with leasing matters.

An experienced legal GP

As well as being an experienced property lawyer, Tony is skilled in other areas including wills and estates, business sale and purchase, debt recovery and litigation. He has 38 years

of experience and for 25 of those years has been running his own practice in the eastern suburbs. Definitely not a case of ‘all work and no play.’ While Tony has carved out a solid legal career, he has also pursued his writing passion. He has written 13 plays. All but one have involved lawyers. Shortly before this article went to press, Tony headed off to Tasmania, where a theatre company was staging his play, Bondi Legal.

Boomerang Bags HELPING Community Initiative Indigenous kids get ready for school

Boomerang Bags works to reduce the use of plastic bags by engaging local communities in the making of Boomerang Bags. Community made, using recycled materials, Boomerang Bags provide a free, fun, sustainable alternative to plastic bags. Boomerang Bags is a National initiative, which was started in Burleigh Heads by Tania Pots and Jordyn de Boer in 2013. The project aims to reduce plastic bag use and start conversations about sustainability by making reusable shopping bags from recycled materials, donated by the local community. The bags are made by local communities for local communities. There are over 745 Boomerang Bags communities globally and that number is growing! By getting involved, you are participating in a global movement, celebrating a grassroots initiative focusing on community building and sustainability.

Step 1: Connect

Boomerang Bags communities are areas in which groups of volunteers get together to make bags. You can be one person or a village. Join a nearby Boomerang Bags community, or get some friends together and start a group of your own!

Step 2: Collect materials

Rummage through the linen closets of family, friends and friends of friends, or clean out your local op-shop for second-hand materials suitable for making bags!

Step 3: Make bags!

Get together with above mentioned group and make Boomerang Bags! You can use our templates, or come up with your own designs.

Step 4: Put them to use!

The bags can be given away to friends, family, colleagues, the bag-less stranger in front of you at the supermarket. They can be used to wrap presents in or stashed in your car and handbag so that you’re never caught without a reusable bag when you need one. However you choose to distribute your bags, the most important thing is to ensure that they’re distributed with a message…about waste, about sustainability, about community…make the connection and empower and inspire people to be part of the solutions!

Boomerang Bags Community Group in the Eastern Suburbs

The aim of the group is to reduce plastic bag use to keep our beautiful coastline and surrounds clean, and to divert fabric from landfill (and there is a lot of it that we are diverting in this area) beautiful curtains, bed linen, tea towels, soft furnishings, street banners. We want to start conversations in our local area about how we can reduce our ecological footprint and live more sustainably, and we want to create a sense of community by encouraging anyone who’s interested to join our group, whether they’ve used a sewing machine before or not, there’s a job for everyone.

Meetings are held once a month at St Jude's Church, Randwick, 106 Avoca St on the third Saturday of the month from 1-5pm

The Napranum PaL Group (NPG) is an under the radar “not for profit” entity which owns and manages the Parents and Learning (PaL) program. PaL was developed in 2001, in response to Indigenous parent requests to ‘help their kids get ready for school’. After investigating possible early childhood programs, the women of Napranum felt the best fit for Indigenous families and for their community would be achieved by developing their own program. PaL is a home-based parent engagement program. It aims to support parents and indeed entire families to participate in their young children’s early learning, by providing resources and training delivered to them. PaL provides practical and structured support to parents in their own home environment, and to support their children’s further success in higher education – which is consistently proven to work with pre-school children on this programme going on to succeed in school life and university. PaL is also a flexible program constantly adjusting to the needs of the communities in which it operates. Essential to the success of PaL programs are local Indigenous people, as they have the knowledge and understanding

of community life, and the challenges families face bringing up children in an ever-changing world. Their involvement is crucial to successfully encouraging parents to actively engage in their children’s early learning. Community ownership is a key element to the success of the program. The future of the PaL program and the sustainability of NPG as a not for profit organisation relies greatly on the generosity of supporters and partners. Financial support from corporate, philanthropic and federal government bodies is crucial to support the PaL program to grow and expand its reach to families and children across Australia.

It’s not only the environment, including the centres indoor beach (featuring its very own Lifesaving tower), full-size rock-climbing wall, open-air Kabana style kitchen, mud pit, fish ponds and veggie gardens that have been a hit, but also the Paisley Park approach to learning that has locals talking.

Waverley wallowing in sea of illegally dumped waste

For more information, please ph: 9391 7166 or email: community@woollahra.nsw.gov.au

Waverley Council is struggling to cope with the massive amount of rubbish illegally dumped in the municipality. A report to the council’s Operations and Community Services Committee said the amount of Illegally dumped waste had grown to a staggering 517 TONNES A YEAR.

Second Hand Saturday

“As a result of the numerous incidents, there is an impact to the amenity of the public spaces that our community enjoys,” stated the report by Sustainable Waverley executive manager Sam McGuinness and three other officers.

On: Saturday, Sept 1 9am-2pm

The report singled out businesses as being among the worst offenders, so much so that the council staged what it described as a “business blitz” to tackle commercial dumping, with business owners being made aware of their obligations to have waste and recycling management plans.

Second Hand Saturday is a popular community event held in the Paddington area that encourages residents to hold garage sales and sell their unwanted, pre-loved goods. It’s an excellent opportunity to meet the neighbours and help to reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.

Randwick gets charged up about electric cars

Randwick Council is looking to the future as it works on the establishment of electric vehicle charging stations across the municipality. A report by the Council’s Sustainability Manager, Peter Maganov, recommends setting up charging stations at four council locations across Randwick: • Brook Street, adjacent to and outside the Coogee Senior Citizens Centre • Silver Street carpark, Randwick • Randwick Community Centre, Randwick • Des Renford Leisure Centre car-park, Maroubra

At: Lyne Park, Rose Bay 1-9pm On: Saturday, Oct 27

Meanwhile, dumpers of household rubbish are being targeted in a program called Get Rid of It Right, an information campaign aimed at both long-term and short-term residents. “The project addresses lack of awareness of Council’s waste services for collection of bulky waste items and problem wastes,” the report said. “It will also engage key stakeholders, including real estate agents, strata, property managers and various community groups to tackle dumping through education and management.” However, the report indicated the dumping problem could not be simply solved by education and enforcement. “To ensure all illegal waste dumps are collected within two business days from being reported, an additional three Public Space Staff are required for a 12-month period. The financial impact of implementing these recommendations is estimated to cost an additional $137,791.68 per annum from Council’s budget.”

The report stated: “These public electric vehicle charging sites will be a first for local Councils in NSW (and apparently only second for local government in Australia, to those installed in the City of Adelaide). “ It is expected that each charging station will cost approximately $30,000. The aim will be to cater to the widest range of electric vehicle models. “This is all the more important with around 8 electric vehicle models announced to launch onto the Australian market over the next few months,” Mr Maganov said. Mr Maganov did not indicate whether there would be a charge for the service.

Tough penalties for inciting violence now in force

Anyone who incites or threatens violence against people based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex or HIV/AIDS status in NSW will now face up to three years in prison, under new laws that have come into force. The legislation creates a new offence in the Crimes Act of publicity threatening or inciting violence against people on the grounds of race, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, gender identity, intersex or HIV/ AIDS status. These laws will send a strong and clear message to people who think it's acceptable to incite violence against people because they belong to a particular group. The new offence carries a maximum three year sentence and a fine of $11,000 or $55,000 in the case of a corporation. It replaces and improves existing offences in the Anti-Discrimination Act.

NSW digital drivers’ licence trial

I am delighted to announce that more than 140,000 NSW drivers across Sydney’s Eastern Beaches region will be eligible to participate in a new metro trial of the digital driver licence (DDL) by November. Participants who opt-in can use their DDL, accessible on a mobile phone, for proof of identity and proof of age to gain entry into pubs and clubs as well for roadside police checks in the trial area. However, as this is a trial, drivers who opt-in will still need to carry their physical driver licence with them. Drivers in the following postcodes will be able to participate – 2022, 2024, 2026, 2031 and 2034. To register for the trial drivers need to create a MyServiceNSW Account at www.service.nsw.gov.au. Further instructions will issued in November.

Bill passes targeting public housing wreckers & rorters

Tenants who damage public housing and those convicted of rental fraud will face new sanctions and eviction under a bill passed last week by the NSW Government. The Bill, which amends the Residential Tenancies Act 2010 and Housing Act 2001, would lead to a fairer, safer and more financially sustainable social housing system. The Bill also gives the Government the power to make tenants who have caused significant damage to their public housing property pay a rental bond. This will not apply to tenants who do the right thing. Tenants that wreck their properties, or receive a benefit that they do not deserve are disadvantaging those genuinely in need.
