welcome
to Shine Magazine Issue 22
Welcome to the April / May issue of Shine magazine. Autumn is easily my favourite time of the year. The nights have cooled but the days are still pleasant, the Camellia’s are blossoming and the world is busy preparing herself for winter. There's something magical about the clear days, the first smell of the fireplace, the fruit and vegetable stands on the roadways. There's newness in the air, even though the season is the precursor to winter. Somehow the land knows that winter is coming but the long preparation for the cold of winter, which is autumn, is a beautiful, necessary part of the world. Just as the warm weather slips away and we start to miss it, so this issue reminds us that we should appreciate the simple things we have while we still have them. The first is the great environment we all live in. Politically, financially and environmentally stable, Australia and indeed The Shire is a great place to live and raise a family. It is also important to appreciate the people around us. Our family, friends and even people in our community who are not as fortunate as us can be a source of inspiration. I defy anyone to read some of the quotes in our cover story from young people on why they do community service and not be moved. The guiding light and the glue that holds many families together is our mum. Certainly that is the case in my family. Where would we be without her? Celebrate with her on Sunday May 8. Best regards to you all and enjoy the rest of our Indian summer in The Shire!
Editors Seasonal
Favourites and Must Do’s...
1
I love the brilliant colours of the leaves on the trees and the Camellias in my garden. Visit the Camellia Gardens teahouse in Caringbah.
2
Great Surf! Cooler weather. I love the warm days and cool crisp nights. I love the smell of wood smoke in the air from our open fire.
3
Fresh fruit and vegetables. I love the smell of apples freshly harvested and the little roadside stands that are full of the season’s harvest of cabbages, broccoli and all the other bounty from local farms.
4
Comfort food. Because of the fresh produce we start to tuck into soups and hearty comfort foods with red wine. Yum!

Footy season starts. Go the Sharks! Even though we are regular losers ya gotta love ‘em. I’m a life member! There is a harmony in autumn, and lustre in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen. Percy Byshe Shelley
Fitness Soul
Is recognizable in that person who appears unruffled in chaos, seemingly at ease with change, pulls a decision out from under his hat as if there were no struggle anywhere in sight. An enviable position that can be found by growing our capacities of soul!
(See my editorial for the 12 growing capacities of the soul)
Over our life times we are meant to learn to break through chaos into states of calm & emotional regularity to enjoy the wisdom found by listening and using our capacities of the soul. Begin the journey to know your soul.

community service
Why we do it Australians hate whingers! Here in the Shire it would seem that we are in some kind of bubble protected from the catastrophes that continually assail the rest of the world. While thousands are left homeless in the USA after the financial meltdown, I complain that the price of real estate has been stagnant in Cronulla! People are washed away by floods and tidal waves but I whinge that the hot summer sun has destroyed my lawn! While earthquakes destroy other peoples homes I whinge that mine needs renovating. Clearly I need a reality check. If you ever seriously want a reality check go do some community service. It will stop you whingeing. It seems that I’m not the only one and now some of our local universities are introducing community service courses into their curriculum. Why I wondered? Being the eternal cynic that I am, I called up and asked a simple question. Community Service – Why do it? Here are some of the answers I got. "Asking why I incorporate community service into my teaching is a little like asking why I incorporate breathing into living." Bob Hansman, Associate Professor, UNSW "Ultimately, community service can be very instructive for you and for others. It forces you to look at yourself in the mirror." Steve Ehrlich "You are not just doing something for somebody else. It is not a charity case. It is a service. And if you open yourself up to the experience, it’s helping you just as much as it is helping them." Phyllis Jackson. 6

"When you do medicine in Uni, there's a lot of work, so you have to take a break. And I've made Community Service my break. That way I get away from the school and the University bubble. And it's just refreshing and it reenergizes me." Cindy Zhang "There are at least two benefits to doing community service. Clearly we can support each other with our efforts and initiatives; we can raise money for cancer research and we can make sure that hungry people are fed. Even still, the worst thing in the world is to feel alone. At least half of the support we do with community service is simply letting other people know that we're here and we care." Matt Zinter "Community service has helped me to realize the contradictions that we live in. We say that everyone in this country has the same opportunities but that is not true. Through service I see the effects of that." Eric Scroggins "A fulfilling and meaningful life is created through service to others. I believe that doing community service grounds my values and morals and helps me to make the most of my life." Elizabeth Kramer. "Accumulating concepts and ideas will make you an intelligent person, but to be a great person you must utilize that intelligence to have a beneficial impact on our society." Achal Upadhyaya.

Question answer Q
Living in the sun, and especially by the beach we all know we have to protect our skin from premature ageing, but how should we protect our hair? Wendy, Cronulla
A
We advise our clients to treat your hair as you would your skin. Â Your skin regime would include cleansing, toning, moisturising, masks and different forms of protection, so why should your hair be any different? Everyones hair needs a good quality shampoo, conditioner and treatment to maintain the moisture levels, this will help your colour longivity and the all over health of your hair. Â add to this a heat or sun protector and you will have your hair in fabulous condition in no time, resulting in less split ends and more super shiny locks! Louise Blake -Toni & Guy
Q A
What are the benefit differences between Bikram Yoga and Regular Yoga? Joan, Woolooware Bikram Yoga is a Hatha Yoga sequence of 26 postures done in a heated room (38C). The heat takes the trauma out of stretching, then heals and helps prevent injuries. Classes are always beginners level, 26 postures and 90 minutes at any Bikram studio in the world. Nathan Dennett - Bikram Yoga

Q
I feel upset and angry when my partner wants to go out and do things without me. I feel anxious and can't sleep until he gets home. What do you suggest I do? Ashley, Engadine As long as your partner has respectfully indicated when he will return and lets you know if arrangements change, it is up to you to learn to soothe yourself and address your insecurities. Develop some interests and activities of your own, otherwise you begin to grow an unhealthy co-dependency and put the relationship at risk. Deena Thompson - Counsellor

Q A
I'm having trouble breastfeeding my newborn. Is there anything natural I can take to help? Claire, Miranda There are natural remedies that can assist with poor milk supply, mastitis, and cracked/ sore nipples. These are safe for mother and baby. Christine Youssef - Health in Our Hands
are you Having trouble witH your dentures?
How well do your kids brusH? We all want our children to have healthy teeth and develop good habits to care for them. We also want to know that our kids are brushing properly, that their adult teeth are normally formed and that the baby teeth are falling out in a normal pattern. Good dental habits last a life time. We go over proper cleaning with you and your child, we discuss their diet and look for emerging orthodontic problems. Our emphasis is on overall care and prevention. But a visit to the dentist should also be fun!
Irene, our child dental therapist, is fantastic at making kids feel comfortable and welcome. Her patients love coming to see her. Our Goal is to provide all children in the practice with the level of care we’d want for our own family.

someone who shines A place to call
Home As a young child you have dreams of becoming anything from an astronaut to a rock star however it seems the further you live from a city the further the dream. Well this is not the case for young talented sportsmen who aspire to play for the Cronulla Sharks thanks to the progressive thinking of the club and two very amazing people Trish and Chris Douglas. In 1982 Trish and Chris packed up their belongings and moved from the Shire to settle and start a family in Yamba on the North Coast of NSW. Thirty years later they have found themselves back in the Shire with three grown sons and managing the ‘Sharks House’ for promising football stars that live out of the Shire and need a place to call home. Rewinding a few years back their eldest son Luke who now plays 1st grade for Cronulla had an opportunity to come to Sydney to play football in the under 18’s and was fortunate to have family still living in the shire to take him under their wings and provide a home away from home with support and stability. “Luke would often talk about other kids in the ‘Sharks House’ and understood how lucky he was to have a family to live with,” commented Trish. Over time both Trish and Chris thought this would be a great opportunity to help out these young boys that had drive and determination and put their hand up to be the caretakers of ‘Sharks House’ if the opportunity came about. A few months later after taking leave from their employment and re-locating they found themselves living in a 6-bedroom home at Woolooware with eight mouths to feed and managing the day to day running of a busy household. The boys ages range from 16-19 years some are at school, some studying and some working amongst their busy training schedule and games. “I do the shopping, pack lunches and prepare dinner and they look after their own rooms and have a roster of duties, everyone pulls their weight.” said Trish. When Trish isn’t lugging home bags of shopping and

preparing meals you will find her working part-time as a teachers aid for disabled children in a number of schools around the shire. Chris her husband is a builder by trade picking up work here and there and helps out with training sessions at the Sharks. Both Trish and Chris attend all the boys games and give them support and feedback just as if they were their own sons playing on the day. Their three sons all live together close by with the youngest having spent sometime at the ‘Sharks’ house and all have careers in football, you might say it is in their blood. I asked Trish what it was like to be adoptive mother for 8 boys under one roof and she said this… “The boys are sensible because they have to be, we don’t have too many rules as they understand they have been given a great opportunity and they all pull their weight around the home.” To follow your team this year click on http://www. sharks.com.au By Melisa George

Sporty Spice While sport and exercise is beneficial in a lot of ways, the end result can be a lot of sore muscles. Fortunately, a mixture of the stimulus of scent with a relaxing, invigorating massage can be of major benefit in easing aches and pains. Various essential oils have specific properties to aid in relaxing muscles and relieving pain as well as improving muscle tone and circulation. The massage should be gentle, using long strokes, away from the injury but always in the direction of the heart.

It is rich in vitamin-K which is essential for maintaining proper circulatory and metabolic functions. Ginger: this essential oil can be used against inflammatory joint diseases such as arthritis.

community service
Why we
do it
Continued from page 6 "There are so many people who have to get by with all types of nothing, whether it’s no food, no affection, no education, or no respect. To alleviate any degree of any burden – to make something better – is, for me, the pinnacle of accomplishment and hope." Alaina Smith. "When you learn about different people, you can respect each other more and you can not be fearful. You think they are just so different and their lives are so different from ours. And that’s not true." Amy Finnegan "Community Service has taught me to be myself. When you are helping people or making a difference, there is no time to be self-conscious. Community service has also taught me that anything is possible." David Shepard "When it comes to community service, sometimes it can be rewarding to help raise money. However, it can be far more fulfilling to establish direct relationships with members of the community. Direct experiences throughout my uni career affected me profoundly as I learned from individuals coming from all walks of life. With direct contact, I often feel that I receive far more than what I give. Get directly involved with a community, be consistent. Keep it up.You won’t regret it." Eugenia Legarda "Although community service has helped me to appreciate what I have, it has also taught me how happy people can be without things that I think of as necessities." Hillary Bridges "I am more patient because of community service. I appreciate what I have more because of community service. I also appreciate hard work." Jeanné Lewis "Community Service serves as a reality check and an inspiration to continue bettering society" Jenna Kaufman "I have learned the importance of human relationships and the importance of listening. Sometimes that’s all people want, for someone to listen." Julie Venci "You have to be real about what’s going on in the world today. If you really are honest about what is going on in the world, I don't see how you can not want to do something." Kate Rowe 20
Shinemagazine2011
"Community service has kept me humble and grounded." Kelsey Times "Service has taught me courage, compassion, love, appreciation, teamwork, humility. I have seen hardship and pain and the power that a simple act of kindness holds. And I have been forever changed by the people I have met, worked with, and served." Laura Chicoine "Community service has made me a better person. I am more willing to see other sides of a story, more aware of the great diversity in the world, and more willing to do more for people outside of my immediate community of friends and family." Luz Silverio "I believe that in order to thoroughly understand your community, you have to be involved in it." Sara Lense "The more community service I do, the more that I believe that it is very self motivating. It is both a humbling and a growing experience. It keeps me sane." Suan Yeo "Each time you do some kind of service for someone, you have the opportunity to learn new ideas, discover new perspectives, and ultimately grow as an individual." Tobi Lee The message that I got from the quotes above is that we can often help ourselves by helping someone else. If that idea interests you have a look at the opportunities on the Volunteer Link website at www.volunteerlink.org.au Failing volunteer work the idea is simply to participate in your community. Have a look at the Community Noticeboard on pages 7 and 8 to see a whole range of activities happening on a regular basis in our beautiful community. Why not get out there and get involved in some? Oh yeah – and stop whingeing! Larry Jamieson

Take a fresh look at Meals on Wheels Delivering over 1,200 meals per week to residents in the Sutherland Shire it’s no wonder it took a couple of weeks to pin down Peter Ince, manager of Meals on Wheels Sutherland for an interview. Peter has been heading up Sutherland Food Services for nearly five years and with his excellent office team and 114 volunteers servicing over 230 clients, it is a very busy time indeed. Sutherland Food Services is both Federally and State funded through The Department of Ageing Disability and Homecare under the Health and Community Care Program. Serving a wide variety of meals to eligible clients through the home and community care program. “You can self refer to us and don’t need a doctors referral to be eligible” says Peter. To offer the best variety of meals to clients in the
Shire, Sutherland Food Services utilise three suppliers. No meals are prepared on the premises and arrive ready to be sorted and sent out “We offer much more these days and recently relaunched the brand offering a wide range of meals, snacks and breakfast packs to suit everyone’s tastes and requirements. Please give us a try, you will be pleasantly surprised.” says Peter Sutherland Food Services on 9540 7365 or read more online click on http:www.mealsonwheelssutherland.com.au By Melisa George

you are what you eat With the cooler months upon us now is a good time to start thinking about strengthening the immune system. Increasing good bacteria in the gut will protect you from seasonal viruses and bugs. One simple way to do this is to eat raw fermented foods daily. The unique gift of fermented foods have been in existence across most cultures for centuries -this process called lacto fermentation creates a food which is arguably more nutritious, as well as more digestible than the plants in their original form. As we partake of these raw probiotic foods we enjoy the following benefits: * Supports colon health, bowel regularity and overall digestive function. * Supports gut related immune system function and overall immune system health. * Supports healthy microbial balance by promoting healthy bacteria in the gut. * Supports healthy nutrient absorption and assimilation. * Relieves occasional gas and constipation.

eating out
Murraya Have you ever been to a restaurant that changed your life? I have. In the mid 1980’s I booked into Bukhara Indian restaurant in Caringbah with my then girlfriend (now wife). The restaurant had gained some notoriety when it hit Sydney Morning Herald headlines during an immigration visa scandal. The upshot was that a Federal Court judge had wrongfully intervened in the immigration process of one of the chefs at Bukhara Indian restaurant. Why? He loved the food! After my first visit I understood why the judge risked his reputation. The food was good, interesting, well priced and healthy. I was hooked and a visit to Bukhara soon became a weekly event which endured for over twenty years. The proprietor Joseph and I became friends and have watched each others family grow up. He taught us about the culture of southern India and its cuisine. After a dispute with the landlord Bukhara was forced to close about two years ago and Joseph took a sabbatical back to India. Now he is back with his new venture Murraya and with the help of his family it is clearly a step upmarket. At Murraya you will enjoy a meal that is refreshingly different and ranks as some of the finest Indian food in Australia. Head chef Joseph and his colleagues prepare each dish from the finest ingredients and can customize a meal to your own taste as everything is cooked fresh to order. Authentic recipes are strictly adhered to and bring a distinctly different taste to every single dish. Indian cuisine is as rich and diverse as its civilisation. Indian cooking combines the essence of cooking techniques from different nationalities and diverse civilisations. It is an art form passed from generation to generation. Indian hospitality is legendary. In Sanskrit literature “Atithi Devo Bhava” means “the guest is truly God”. Indians believe they are honoured when they share mealtimes with guests. Curry is the common name given to the dishes prepared in many different styles producing different tastes and flavours. Herbs and spices are used to promote better health. Traditional Indian medicine Ayurveda uses many spices and herbs in its treatment. Pepper is used to cure digestive problems. Turmeric powder is used in skin treatment and infections. Liver complaints, rheumatism and anaemia are treated with
ginger. If you suffer from nausea, fever or headaches, Cardamom is recommended. Cloves are used to treat the kidney and Coriander for insomnia. Curry leaves (MURRAYA KOENEGI) have many medicinal properties and benefits. Eating fresh fully grown curry leaves helps to prevent diabetes and to cure diabetes due to obesity. Fact: I have not had a day off work due to sickness in the 20 years since I have been regularly eating Indian curries. Has it been a coincidence? I don’t know. I do know that curries are a great antidote for coughs, colds, sore throats and the flu. At Murraya you are treated to superb service delivered in a tasteful setting combined with authentic flavours that are both delicate and powerful. Murraya is one of the best Indian restaurants in Sydney. Larry Jamieson Murraya Authentic Indian Restaurant Ground Level, Shop 1, 607 Kingsway, Miranda Phone (02) 9526 8278. Fax No (02) 9526 8679.

mothers day
Birth of the Mothers Day Movement
When I was growing up there was always a controversy in my house on Mother's Day. Secretly, my dad believed that this celebration of mothers was just a ploy by advertisers to get people who have mothers (which is everyone) to spend money on cards, chocolate and gifts. My mother on the other hand, the grand matriarch of a household of active children, loved being singled out for recognition and the opportunity to be treated like Queen for a Day. I admit to having inherited my father's skepticism so I did some research into the origins of this tradition which we celebrate every year on the second Sunday of May. I was surprised to learn that the seeds for the institution of Mother's Day were sown from women's experience of the carnage of the American Civil War. In 1870, Julia Ward Howe proposed an annual ‘Mother's Day for Peace.’ Howe, and other mothers who joined her sent a message to the American government, which was the original Mother's Day Proclamation. These lines are from the beginning of her text: "Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether your baptism be that of water or of tears! Say firmly: 'We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies, our husbands shall not come to us reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons 30
Shinemagazine2011
shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs. From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace..." Twenty years ago, I was in labour with my last child, a son. It was January 1991, during the height of the War in the Gulf. To try to keep my mind off my discomfort, I turned on the TV in the birthing room. Across the screen blared details of the bombing of Baghdad, the fears of the Israelis, the slaughter of the Iraqis. As I laboured, my heart was breaking, because I realised that somewhere in Iraq, somewhere in Israel, women in those distant lands were also labouring to bring forth new life, in the midst of death and devastation. Was my soon-to-be-newborn son's life any more precious in the eyes of the Creator than the new life being birthed by my Iraqi and Israeli sisters? In those moments I
mothers day
history of mother's day
The history of Mother's Day is centuries old and goes back to the times of ancient Greeks, who held festivities to honour Rhea, the mother of the gods. Ancient Romans, too, celebrated a spring festival, called Hilaria dedicated to Cybele, a mother goddess ,some 250 years before Christ was born The early Christians celebrated the Mother's festival on the fourth Sunday of Lent to honour the Virgin Mary, the mother of Christ. Later on a religious order stretched the holiday to include all mothers, and named it ‘Mothering Sunday’.
understood what inspired Julia Ward Howe to write the words of that first Mother's Day Proclamation. Healthy mothering brings forth life, and desires to sustain life. Ultimately the mother, the life-giver, beholds the mystery that life comes not from her, but through her. The deepest mystery of motherhood is that all life is a gift, and that we are stewards, not owners, of that gift. Life is not ours to give or to take. Our singular task as mothers is to protect it and to nurture it forward. May Mother's Day 2011 herald a renewed Mother's Day Proclamation, wherein women as well as men pledge to stop the madness of violence and war, to say "Enough is enough. War is no longer an option for the human species" By Yvonne M. Lucia

The new rehabilitation centre opened for patients on the 28th February and Mr Daniel said the new facilities were a welcome addition to the hospital’s rehabilitation services. “With these new modern rehabilitation services which include a 10 metre hydrotherapy pool with a “deep end” for deep water therapy and a new dedicated gymnasium, we look forward to being able to provide rehabilitation services for patients following orthopaedic and other types of surgery as well as patients who are requiring reconditioning from other disabling conditions.” Kareena Private Hospital is owned and operated by Ramsay Health Care.

Looking after
Our kid's
teeth
There are a few simple but important steps we can take to make sure our kids avoid problems with their teeth. Brushing may seem to be number one on the list and while it’s very important, the best thing parents can do to keep their kids teeth healthy is watch their diet. Most parents know that lollies and soft drinks are for special occasions, but bread, biscuits, chips and juice all cause decay, in fact any thing that is starchy or sweet will cause decay. If the food is also acidic, like cola, then the effect is to also weaken the enamel. The key is to limit the number of times kids eat such foods during the day, that way, saliva is able to help the mouth recover.
So . Try to avoid allowing kids to snack or graze. . Encourage drinking tap water, as this contains Fluoride and will help prevent decay. Keep juice for at meal times. . Encourage toddlers to drink from a cup and only give them water before bed time and overnight. . Brush morning and night with the appropriate Fluoridated tooth paste for your child’s age. . Visit the dentist from around the age of 2 ½ to 3. This is about the time they have all their baby teeth. If you think there is a problem, however, they can come to the dentist at any age.

Munching for
Motherhood
Women have been having healthy pregnancies and babies for thousands of years. However, many women in early pregnancy are unable to eat as much or all that they should, so it’s a good idea to get as healthy as possible before pregnancy. It is also a good idea for women with other medical problems, e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, epilepsy, kidney problems, to get reviewed by an obstetric physician (medical specialist who looks after medical problems in pregnancy) so that any investigations can be carried out before pregnancy. Women with low levels of Vitamin D and iodine in early pregnancy have an increased risk of miscarriage so that is a good reason to start a multivitamin supplement. The common dietary factors that women in Australia typically don’t get enough of are: iodine (in iodised salt and fish), vitamin D (from sunlight), iron (red meat), folate (green vegetables) and calcium (dairy food). If you’re not big on red meat then you should be taking extra iron although many women, particularly in early pregnancy, find that iron tablets make them constipated.
If you’ve been eating a normal diet and taking an appropriate supplement for 2-3 months before you get pregnant, then it’s not going to matter if you lose your appetite or vomit through your early pregnancy. The baby’s requirements are so small in the first half of pregnancy that your stored nutrition will be more than enough. Then, in the second half of pregnancy when the baby’s demands become greater, most women are feeling better and can eat more healthily and take their supplements. Finally, most women in Australia eating a normal diet will not be seriously deficient in any nutrients. So don’t be concerned if you do fall pregnant and are not as fit, or as prepared, as you always promised yourself you would be! Dr Gregory Davis

Young at heart
Keep fit and motivated
The endless pure energy children have can be hard to find, however staying fit is also about body, mind and soul. Teaching children to cook creates a good start in life to healthy eating habits, start by letting them make their own fruit and vegetable snacks. To keep fit and motivated plan ahead and mix up the variety of activities for the family to keep it exciting for everyone, if your child has ‘Lazy Bone Syndrome’ –
a little game of run and catch may be all they need to get motivated and in time they will find a sport they will enjoy. With play comes rest and quiet activities, after children have let off steam learning becomes more effective. Be as descriptive as you can whilst communicating with your child, challenge them intellectually by recognising shapes, comparisons, counting, position, classification and size. By Fatima Wilkinson
play Engaging sports programs for children and their families It’s never too early to start your little one in a sport program and Fit Futures offer a variety of sport coaching right here in the Sutherland Shire.

EASTER EGG DECORATING Cool crayon colours Break the mould when decorating your eggs this year and substitute crayons for conventional egg dye, colouring right on still-warm hard-boiled eggs. The heat melts the wax, creating smooth swaths of colour. materials Eggs White vinegar Paper towels Crayons instructions 1 Boil the eggs in a mixture of water and vinegar (about 1½ tablespoons of vinegar for every cup of water) for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat. 2 Carefully remove a hot egg (parents only) and let it cool for about 10 minutes. (Leave the others in the water until you’re almost ready to decorate them, so they stay warm.) 3 Holding the egg on a paper towel, draw on the shell with the crayons. To avoid smudging your design when turning the egg, carefully lift it from the paper towel, turn it, then set it back down. Let the design set for about 30 minutes.

men's health
Why it doesn’t hurt to talk Good health is more than just what you look like on the outside. As men we are too focused on what we see looking back at us in the mirror. We run, swim, cycle, box and push weights hoping to change the way we look on the outside. While it is important to focus on appearances, it’s not the only indictor of good health. According to most men we don’t have problems. We solve problems and we fix things which are broken. If on the odd occasion we do have a problem which we can’t solve on our own, we will bury it, burn it or destroy it. Men don’t talk about their own problems let alone admit to anyone that they have one. We get ourselves in trouble when we fail to talk about what it is that is causing our problems. Good mental health is the key to looking good on the outside and being able to perform at your best, every day. Stress seems to be a common feeling for all of us, something we believe is now part and parcel of daily life. We feel we need to do more, be more, earn more and we want it now. Life is moving at light speed and as a man we feel obligated to keep up, whether we like it or not. Men sometimes find it difficult to connect a thought to a feeling. We know what we are thinking but we are not sure what has caused us to feel stressed the way we do. So in typical male fashion we soldier on trying to focus on what is in front of us without stopping. Because we can’t stop we never understand what feeling is driving our thoughts and our stress. We feel more and more frustrated until we can’t stand it anymore. Most men take the easiest option which is to drink more alcohol. We hope that this will provide us with some temporary inner peace from the stress. Which is does, but it still doesn’t solve our problem. Does this sound familiar? So what does solve our problem? If good mental health makes us fitter, stronger, faster, then how can we achieve it? TALKING.Yes, talking is the key to achieving better mental health. The more we talk about what is happening to us, what we are thinking and more importantly, what we are feeling, the less stress we will have and the better off we will be. We don’t feel comfortable talking because we are not 44
Shinemagazine2011
sure who we can trust. We don’t want to be told we are weak or stupid by our mates because we have a problem we can’t fix for ourselves. Little do we know that sometimes our mates are having the exact same problems we are. As men we need to get better at opening up. We need to stop thinking we have to solve our own problems by ourselves. We need to get out of our own way and find people we can trust to talk about what is happening. The sooner you find someone you can trust the happier you will be. Once you are feeling happy on the inside, the sooner you can be the person you want to be on the outside.

All smiles for Junior anglers If you’re looking for something to entertain young men (or girls), fishing is a fantastic activity. Kids thrive on the idea of ‘catching a big one’ and when they do, its sheer elation! Not only is fishing fun but it teaches kids patience, concentration and fine motor skills. It’s also an inexpensive hobby that can be done anywhere in our beautiful waterways of the Port Hacking. Zac & Ebony are literary ‘hooked’ on fishing and caught these Beauties while on holidays at Sussex Inlet. So kids, grab a rod and some bait and enjoy catching that ‘big one’ and even if you don’t you have a great time trying.
product review A lot of men end up with an electric shaver as a gift. If it is going to happen, you might as well push for one of the best reviewed products around.
Braun Activator 8595 Electric Shaver.
The new Activator shaving system easily removes any hair type on your face, even in problem zones. The revolutionary foil has a new geometry with differently shaped holes. This combines with the shaver head, which moves in 4 directions to ensure that any individual hair growth pattern is captured effortlessly in fewer strokes. Unique Clean & Charge adjusts to individual needs, always maintaining your shaver in top condition. The system automatically selects the best out of three cleaning programs based on how much cleaning your shaver needs. It automatically recharges the battery at the same time, leaving your shaver always fully powered and thoroughly cleaned.

Kingfish, Kingfish, Kingfish…. That’s pretty much been the word of the summer so far, and since the banning of commercial Kingfish traps some 10 odd years ago, their numbers have been steadily increasing and this summer has been no exception. With the increase in Kingfish numbers also comes an increase in the size of fish available to those anglers willing to spend a little extra time to hunt them out. Without doubt the key to big Kings (inshore, not offshore) is big squid. Squid of all sizes will definitely do the job, but if you want to target that big girl hoodlum, the bigger the squid the better. Believe it or not the King pictured fell to a slow trolled 1.5kg squid, which would have had a mantle length of around 40cm, and was found in only 8mtrs off water. Big Kingfish aren’t just a summer species, they can be caught pretty much all year round, but you may find them a little harder to locate during the middle of winter. Standard rigs for big Kings consist of 100-150 pound trace (we use Jinki) with a snelled two hook rig, this is teamed with 80-100lb main line and downrigged to suit the depth you are fishing. So get off the lounge ;-) and go get into the action.

Mountain biking in the
Shire
Mountain biking is a fun sport where you get fit and forge new friendships with fellow riders you meet whilst riding the many National Park riding trails of the Shire. There are many tracks that leave from Loftus Oval near the tram tracks that travel to the National Parks and Wildlife Information Centre on Farnell Avenue Loftus; Lady Game drive Audley; the road and trail rides from Cronulla to Kurnell, and the tracks leading to the back of Heathcote from Loftus Oval that are just inside the highway. These are just some of the extensive road and dirt tracks that are available in the Shire. There are tracks all over the place for all levels of riding from competitive mountain bikers giving Temptation Creek near Loftus Oval a go (good luck) to casual riding along Lady Game Drive Audley. The trip from Loftus Oval to Grays Point past the information centre is popular for runners and riders alike and loops back to the Loftus Oval car park. You will see the occasional wallaby and other native wildlife. If you are up early or late you may see strange bright lights coming your way which will be the keen night riders who are so busy during the day that they go out at night. Night riding is becoming more popular as it is something different, unique and fun. With the bike lights these days so strong it is almost like riding during the day. There is nothing like watching the sun rise or set over the national park. Whether you are riding, walking,
46
Shinemagazine2011
or jogging the experience simply takes your breath away.You’d be amazed at how many Shire Residents do not know about the beauty on their door step. Since being introduced to mountain biking, I have lost 20kgs and love riding and exercising in the tranquility of the National Park, whether it is at night or during the day. Once the bug hits, you may find yourself taking the bike on holidays and travelling to other trails throughout Australia and New Zealand to cater for the growth in mountain bike riding popularity. My advice though is before you tackle difficult tracks, talk to someone who has ridden before to obtain knowledge of the right equipment and track difficulty. From personal experience, my first ride on my 15 year old Kmart bike was not fun but obtaining the right equipment and knowledge opened up a new passion for exercise and competing. For local Shire advice, some bike shops will rent bikes to those wanting to try this growing sport; provide lessons and sell the quality bikes and equipment you need from entry level to competition level. My advice is to listen to their years of experience in the sport, take a lesson, get to know the magnificent tracks of our local National Park and then you will be as hooked as I am. Bike trail information and maps are available from the National Parks and Wildlife Information Centre as well as online. Glen Collins

going green save paper save money
save trees
Did you know an average Australian office worker uses about 10,000 sheets of A4 paper every year? Overall we consume more than 1.7 millions tons of writing and printing paper annually at an estimated 24 trees per tonne, this amount of paper uses up the equivalent of tens of millions of trees. Cutting down the paper usage is quite simple if everyone just took a little more time and care instead of pressing the ‘print it’ button on their computer.
5 great tips to help you save paper, money and trees.
1 Reduce your font size by a fraction and get more words to a page. 2 Create note pads out of scrap paper. 3 Use unwanted printed documents on the reverse side for kids drawing paper, documents that are for filing purposes.
4 Print both sides of the page most printers have this option. 5 Use recycled paper and preserve more trees and divert waste from landfill. By Melisa George For more facts and paper saving ideas click on http://www.savepaper.com.au

gardens on the go
Bend & stretch & Reach for the shovel Some of the oldest people on the planet come from an island in Japan. One of the key factors contributing to their longevity, apart from diet, is exercising, predominately gardening. Staying fit is important for all age groups, and gardening suits all.You use all muscle groups, and get plenty of load bearing exercise carting bags of mulch and fertilisers. There are many physical advantages to ‘working out’ in the garden, such as stretching, bending, breathing in fresh air, and absorbing vitamin E. At the same time, you have the added benefit of growing your own vegetables, fruits and herbs. Why would you want to grow your own? The benefits are multiple and include:Convenience - there is nothing like popping out to pick a few herbs to add to a toss salad. Economics - it doesn’t cost a lot to buy a packet of seeds or a punnet of seedlings which in return can keep

As we near Mothers Day, I sit and reflect on my role as a stepmother. Not to take anything away from ‘normal’ mothering, there are special challenges faced by childless stepmums trying to adjust to life in a stepfamily. I will be the first to admit my dreams of many years ago did not consist of being someone's step mum and my guess is that most kids don't grow up with the desire to be step children. I have learnt along the way though, we are all "whole" and as soon as you put the word "step" in front of anything it seems to emphasize a giant "hole". But how does one go about trying to fill the hole? Well my journey has led me to grace. To step-parent with grace – handfuls of grace. I get to love the children like crazy. Pray for them faithfully. Talk to them regularly. Listen to them tenderly. Model honesty and integrity. I get to do all that. And tucked within these privileges is the reward. As long
you in supply for months or longer. Organic - You know exactly what you have grown has been sprayed with. The evidence is in about the many health benefits of gardening, so why not invest some time in the garden and try it out. Tip: The Mushroom plant – Rungia klossii. A green leafy herb that may not look like a mushroom but it sure tastes like one. It can be eaten in a salad or thrown into a stir fry. I love using it in my Italian sauces. Karen Smith
soul reason
as I look for the reward within the process, I won't misplace my expectations. I must admit, over the years the process hasn’t always made me feel good or look good. But if I always expect the children to make me feel good or look good, I am setting us all up for failure. I have learnt that the children were never meant to carry the weight of my need for validation. Being a step mum can be challenging. However, the true reward is in the opportunity to reach into the generations to come and make a difference. So, an imperfect but wonderful difference I will continue to try to make! To all those women who join me in the step-mothering ranks – I wish you a gracefilled Mothers Day! by Robyn Lindsay Want to know more about grace?

stepping out of the shire
Centennial
Parklands For those who are young at heart and keen to step out of the Shire for a day on an adventure that won’t cost the earth then look no further as we'll have you cycling around Centennial Parklands before you know it. For us shire folk you will be entering the gates to Centennial Parklands in around 30 minutes. An estimated 700,000 cyclists visit each year, there is a dedicated cycle lane and relatively flat circuit and with a wide choice of options for all ages and abilities. One of the most family friendly spots in the park is the learner’s cycleway, which is a one-way track and a great alternative than peddling down a busy road for their first time. This area also houses an amenities block, barbeque and playground area. Grand Drive stretches for 3.5 kilometres and is essentially made up of five concentric circles, with the
outer fifth track used for cycling or rollerblading, fourth (and largest) for car driving, third for car parking, the second is a paved pathway for pedestrians and the inner track being dedicated to horse riding. Cyclists are welcome in Centennial Parklands from sunrise to sunset, every day of the year. And don’t worry if you don’t have a bike you can hire them at Centennial Park Cycles located right in the heart of Centennial Park. www.cyclehire.com.au To plan your next sporty adventure out of the Shire click on: www.centennialparklands.com.au

money matters
Get Sporty
Staying fit through your years Sharing, Sweet, Sexy, Sunshine…. Some great words start with “s” as well as; 1. Saving, and; 2. Superannuation Most of us need to; 1. fund our lifestyles today, 2. buy and repay a residence, and; 3. save a next egg for our futures, to help support our lifestyles when we no longer work. Paying off a house is “saving” and for most people, it’s a given, something you just have to get around to doing. Creating wealth to fund our retirement lifestyles, for most is also a given and something you really have to do.

To encourage us to save, the government enacted superannuation legislation. Superannuation is simply a tax incentivised legal structure designed to motivate us to save for our futures. Australia has one of the worlds best superannuation systems and it’s continually evolving. This means rules do change, but rest assured most changes are grandfathered, so if you used superannuation within the rules of the game and the rules later changed, you will not be adversely effected! When it comes to investments within superannuation, the choice is up to each of us.You can choose cash and term deposits right through to property and shares. And you can manage it “DIY” style or outsource the responsibility to professionals. Now is a great time of year to review your strategies prior to 30 June. Sure savings and superannuation can be dry topics, but just keep visualising the lifestyle you aspire to living post the working years!

beauty lies not only within
Crowning
Glory Most people are aware of the importance of having a good regime when it comes to looking after their skin. Quite often however, our hair is neglected & suffers through regular heat styling, chlorinated pools and harsh UV exposure, getting little love in return! The condition of our hair reflects our inner health and, as it’s something we wear every day, it’s important that it too is well cared for. “We advise our clients to treat their hair as they would their skin”, says Louise Blake, owner of Toni & Guy Cronulla. This means using quality products for cleansing and moisturizing, as hair is often stripped of all natural moisture during the warm summer months, which can leave it dry, brittle & prone to damage. Pressed for time? Invest in a dry-shampoo, which is ideal for those with oily scalps or anyone who needs a quick refresh in between washes! We love LabelM Dry Shampoo $33.95. In addition to everyday cleansing & conditioning, a treatment product, such as a mask, is recommended for weekly use. This special-care treat will assist with maintaining moisture levels, protecting from damage and improving the longevity of colour-treated hair. Those with damaged or unruly locks will love Wella’s SP Repair Mask, $26.00. Living by the beach in the Sutherland Shire, it is recommended that those who spend a lot of time outdoors take it one step further and also incorporate a product with UV sun filters – just like applying
Bored with your current cut or looking for styling inspiration? Book in for a Styling Education evening at Toni & Guy Cronulla! Running every 6 weeks, the evening are designed to teach you everything there is to know about styling your hair and include a personalized lesson with a stylist! For bookings, call 9523 5308.
sunscreen to your hair! Such product is perfect for protection against the sun’s rays, salt water and colour fade. We love the Label M range as it comes with inbuilt UV filters in the leave-in conditioners, (available at Toni & Guy). A basic routine is important for having healthy, beautiful hair year-round, however special occasions call for extra-glam hair and cosmetic products which are designed to add gloss, volume and shine. If your hair is feeling dull and flat, or you’re just craving a little bit of shine and added control, try the LabelM Hold and Gloss Spray $39.95. Remember the golden rule for gloss products – a little goes a long way! A ten cent piece in the palm of your hand is plenty. Finally, hair is just like skin in that it serves as an outside reflection of how healthy our insides are! Hair growth and condition is dependent on adequate diet. A widespread dietary problem which causes loss of hair is iron deficiency. Combat low iron levels with a diet rich in lean red meat, peas, beans and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Coupled with the hero products outlined above & regular salon cuts, a balanced diet will lead to shiny, beautiful head-turning hair!
