Pre-Summer Toning with Yoga
By Nathan Dennett from Bikram Yoga.
Rounding the corner of spring and heading into summer means for a lot of people the pre-summer tone-up time is right here and now! If you already have a fitness regime, or perhaps you don’t have one that moves throughout the year (or one at all!), then why not mix things up with some yoga? Yoga poses, or ‘postures’, are a great way to help tone the body all over rather than trying to ‘target’ certain areas. It is a fantastic way to stretch into long lean muscle while getting your body cut but not bulky. Benefits also include great skin, mental clarity, relaxed body and an enlightened spirit. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, tone up, gain confidence, or just feel healthier, here are a few tips and tricks to help you venture into the yoga world with your summer fitness.
postures that are strength based and suitable for any body regardless of fitness levels. INCORPORATE CARDIO ACTIVITY: Many yoga postures come to mind that incorporate cardio and at short bursts it’s just like interval training. Some yoga styles have more cardio than others, ask first.
EAT HEALTHIER FOODS: One way to keep the kilojoules down within your diet is to find flavour in fresh and seasonal foods. Eat organic where possible. What you eat is more important than any exercise you do. Eating wisely is the best thing you can do.
FIND YOUR HEALTHIEST WEIGHT: If you’re not sure where to start then try www.8700.com.au It’s an Australian Government service to help people find their healthiest weight. The website has easy-to-read information and has plenty of tools, tips and links.
LIFT WEIGHTS REGULARLY: Yoga incorporates your own body weight, add working with resistance and you’ll be toned all over. There are plenty of
PLAN ON DETOX: and don’t be too scared of detox symptoms such as headaches and fatigue during your initial rounds of yoga- it’s your body getting rid of toxins.
TIPS FOR YOUR FIRST YOGA SESSIONS: Ask them to explain the details of the studio’s yoga style. Most studios have a Special Introductory offer, use it properly. Ask what is good to wear. Ask: which are the Beginner’s classes? Ask if they have mats/towels/water for hire or sale, also if they have any recovery foods and drinks. Do they have change rooms with showers and lockers? Try different times and teachers to help mix up your practice. Try more than one class, regardless of how the first few went. Part of yoga is learning the poses and terminology. Do not feel restricted by your physicality. “People with the least, have the most to gain”. Remember, yoga is not just for the fantastically flexible or only about poses. Yoga is a multifaceted theory and a lifestyle with life-long benefits. Many see benefits from yoga pretty quickly, but the real benefits are in the long term of a consistent practice. Every body can benefit from yoga: young, old, muscle-bound, dancers, footballers. For injury or illness recovery patients, consult with your yoga teacher and your specialist to help plan what yoga would benefit you the most and how to prepare for those classes.

Suffer no more
... When food is the enemy The Food sensitivity is an IgG antibody reaction, versus an IgE reaction which is associated with food allergy. A food sensitivity is different to a food allergy in that it does not produce anaphylactic reactions - it can however, cause bloating, headaches, migraines, bowel problems, weight problems, IBS, fatigue, depression...just to name a few. Food sensitivities are far more common than classic IgE allergies, and though the symptoms are mostly milder and non-life threatening, they can be quite debilitating. Food intolerance is a simple, chemical reaction that does not involve the immune system - these reactions are often completely overlooked by allergy specialists. However, food intolerance can cause severe symptoms in some people. For example, some people experience 10
migraine headaches when they consume wine and cheese - this is due to a food substance called Tyramine, which triggers the dilation of blood vessels in the brain. Ten to twenty years ago, most doctors and allergy specialists were extremely sceptical about the potential harm that could be produced by food sensitivities and intolerances. Patients were often told that they were just imagining their reactions, or that "all your tests are clear, we can't find anything wrong with you." Unless a person had a reaction such as throat tightening or severe hives, nobody paid much attention. Thankfully, the trend is gradually changing, and there is now more recognition of sensitivities and intolerances. Unfortunately for our children on the autism spectrum, food sensitivities can be particularly challenging as the proteins from wheat and dairy
Shinemagazine2012
#31_Shine_2012.indd 10

(gluten and casein respectively), can turn into opiate compounds. If a protein is not broken down properly, it will form peptides that can "leak" into the bloodstream and cross the blood brain barrier. These opioid peptides fit into the opiate receptors and function like morphine, causing serious neurological problems (Shaw, 1998). While food sensitivities are not the cause of autism, identifying and addressing them can reduce many symptoms and assist in learning and behaviour (Matthews, 2008). Thankfully, we have a simple, cost effective test that can identify Food Sensitivities (IgG reactions) called the Food Detective Test. A pin prick of blood from the finger is all that is required to test 59 foods, with results known in 40 minutes. The test can be done in a clinic setting without the need to find time and obtain referrals for city-based facilities. The Food Detective is based on the same science and methods used in existing testing labs, but have been made available in kit form for Naturopaths to use in-clinic. Once results are obtained, you can restrict or avoid the reactive foods (depending on the severity of your reaction in the test), and if necessary, some gut repair work using herbal medicines and nutrients.
So whether you just want to "trim and tone" for summer, or dig deeper into some long-standing health issues, a food sensitivity test may provide some answers. For all your family healthcare needs, please call the Naturopaths at Health in our Hands.

Care for Your Colon with Hydrotherapy Internal cleansing helps to detoxify the body in order to achieve optimum well-being. Our lifestyle governs our well being and takes over our senses. What starts with an occasional drink with friends after work progresses to drinking alcohol on your own during the working week in order to relax. The same thing happens with the way we eat. Bad food (fast food, junk food) will promote negative thoughts and actions. Slowly you feel the toxins begin to build up.You reach a malaise where you can’t remember what it felt like to be without this ill feeling. We all need support to help put us back on the right track. Soon everything will start to feel familiar again. You will be in control of your health once again.

someone in the shire LOOKING AT KIDS ABILITY NOT DISABILITY
Lorraine Pritchard:
Keeping it all positive when teaching kids to swim. ORIGINALLY FROM THE SUTHERLAND SHIRE, Lorraine Pritchard found her calling teaching kids to swim almost two decades ago. Initially Lorraine became a volunteer with Rod Siddons, founder of the Rainbow Club. The Rainbow Club teaches young children with a disability to swim. Her qualifications were not on paper. Being a mother and passionate about working with children with disabilities, Ron invited Lorraine to watch and learn. Now 18 years on, Lorraine has never looked back. “I watched and learnt from other teachers and put my knowledge of swimming together with my Austswim training and it all started from there” she said. Rainbow Club Australia now has over 17 clubs in Sydney, regional NSW and Geelong, Victoria and is still growing. Starting at Cronulla Complex and branching out to Sutherland Leisure Centre in 1994 gave Lorraine lots of experience and challenges. Over the years she became head teacher of Rainbow Club at Sutherland pool. One of Lorraine’s greatest moments was to see a boy finally get his arms over after teaching him for 6 years. “Inch by inch we tried. It can be repetitive work but it’s most rewarding when it pays of. Now he can do all 4 strokes” said Lorraine proudly. You will find Lorraine teaching at Caringbah leisure centre most days. She’s the lady wearing a bright, fun, hat with a big personality full of encouragement and enthusiasm. Now residing in Shellharbour, she makes the drive each day to Sutherland at 64 years of age. “It isn’t an effort when the rewards are so high” she says. Teaching little ones through to adults along with disabled and special needs kids in the warmer terms 20

Make it a happy and fun environment to swim in. . Don’t be too serious - they will get it in the end. . Explain to kids about the importance of water .
safety, especially if you have a pool at home. e.g. Gates being closed and supervision at the pool. Keep them swimming - we are surrounded by water in the Shire.
Rainbow Club Australia’s aim is to provide children with special needs the opportunity and confidence to explore and extend their abilities through sporting and recreational activities.

Cronulla's Rising
Stars
Local talent agency “MAMM International” is in the business of show business. They provide models, actors and extras for work in film and television production as well as catalogues and print advertising all over Sydney. Cronulla has been buzzing with a number of productions shooting in the area recently. What may go unnoticed is the amount of local shire talent who are getting exciting jobs in the film, television and modeling industry. The Cook Family has worked regularly in films, television and commercial jobs since registering with MAMM as a family. Keep an eye on the new Puberty Blues and you might spot Julie and the kids buying Pollywaffles. Local pensioner Kevin Burns registered with MAMM for “something to do” and has already worked on a Samsung TV Commercial and ABC TV series “Rake”. Popular Cronulla lifeguard Jon Lavers is a well known and respected member of the community. He is actively involved in surf lifesaving as well as training and mentoring youth. On top of all that Jon has a second life as an actor and model. He features regularly in advertising campaigns, films and TV Series; most recently in “The Great Gatsby”. The current Wesley Mission Campaign features the beautiful Isabella Riechelmann. Isabella is a local school girl who was very proud to appear in this important campaign. If you are interested in learning more about this exciting industry and perhaps following in the footsteps of Kevin, Jon or Isabella call now on 9527 7299 for a free consultation. MAMM are always looking for fresh faces of all shapes, sizes, ages and ethnicities. It’s an unpredictable industry and you never know where it might take you!

my street
Bulls Road
Bulls Road BURRANEER
Welcome to our regular section where Shine focuses on “My Street”. It is a local street that you may already live in or may like to live in. We do the research for you. The pros, the cons and how much it would cost to live there. We all dream! I often dream about boats. Sailing boats in particular. Sailing boats with keels. Keel boats require a deep waterfront property to house them. We dream about pottering around on our yacht, moored at the bottom of the garden, making it ready to sail off into the wild blue yonder. It’s all part of the dream People who have those types of dreams and live in the Cronulla Sutherland area around Port Hacking are very restricted. They will find it quite hard to realise their dream because many parts of Port Hacking are notoriously shallow. You will not get past Burraneer point in a yacht – certainly not one that appears in my dreams anyway! It’s too shallow so you will be in danger of hitting the bottom. Therefore you are restricted to Gunnamatta Bay. There are further restrictions. There are no deep water fronts on the eastern side of Gunnamatta. They are all shallow, sandy beach fronts. Therefore our search for the dream, deep waterfront property is narrowed to the western shore of Gunnamatta Bay along the Burraneer Peninsula. But wait, there are more restrictions. I have surveyed the depth around the northern end of the peninsula closest to Cronulla and ruled most out – still too 28
shallow! I’ve also looked at the southern end of the Burraneer Peninsula and ruled that out. The waterfront estates are quite deep enough but all are located in a narrow channel with not enough room to moor the dream yacht safely. Oh, and while we are dreaming, we require a north facing waterfront. The warmth of the northern sun in winter and protection from those cold southerly winds is a must for all old yachties. Therefore if you are a serious yachty from The Shire who wants to “live the dream” there is really only one street to head for: Bulls Road. The even numbers are the waterfronts. Bank on your own sandy beach, slipway, jetty and pontoon. Many waterfronts in Bulls road face North East. All perfect but Surprise! Surprise! We have just narrowed the entire Shire down to about a dozen homes and they are all very tightly held. Two recent candidates for “The Dream” are: 4 Bulls Road. This older residence has breathtaking water views and is just a few steps to the waterfront with sandy beach, slipway, jetty & pontoon. 46 Bulls Road. Defined by its enormous north facing 935 sqm waterfront block, this full brick three level home boasts its own sandy beach, boatshed & slipway. Depending on the size of land you may pick up an old knock down for $2.5 million. Maybe. The owners know they are sitting on a pearl and will stay attached like oysters. For the full “dream” home think $4 million+. Otherwise you really are “dream’n”!

As we head into the final Quarter of 2012 there has been some exciting results achieved throughout the colder parts of the year. Usually winter is seasonally slower for the property market so these results have been particularly encouraging. Recent data collected from APM, Cooley Auctions and Highland Property Agents has indicated stronger clearance rates across Sydney Metro in excess of 60%. As an office we have averaged approximately 86% as our clearance rate throughout winter.
www.localimages.com.au
Whilst the spring selling market has begun in earnest we found right throughout winter that a shortage of properties “For Sale” kept the market surprisingly buoyant.
As the weather warms there are some strong indications suggesting that there is some stability ahead for the real estate sector. Director and Auctioneer of Cooley Auctions Damien Cooley said “reduced stock levels, low interest rates, a shortage of quality property and confidence returning to the real estate market is beginning to have an impact – because properties are selling”. Last quarter our office set another benchmark, a brand new non-water view home in Burraneer sold for $2,150,000 within three weeks of marketing. The strongest market is sub $1.5m, seeing transactions taking place within 28 days. This level of renewed activity comes with a stream of investors back to the property market; our office is continuing to achieve high yields with more than 30 new managements being let within the first 2 weeks of marketing, adding to the rise in rental prices keeping both our landlord’s properties and pockets full. Our forecast is that these numbers will be doubled by the end of this year based on the level of demand from tenants. Best of luck to all owners and purchasers this Spring.

Not Long Now! SOUTH CRONULLA’S FINEST APARTMENT development is just weeks from completion. A fully furnished apartment is now available for inspection at LATITUDE showcasing comfort, substance and prestige that sets a new benchmark in luxury, style and excellence in an area many regard as the Shire’s “dress circle”. LATITUDE has been created by HELM in South Cronulla, within walking distance of everything Cronulla has to offer – the Esplanade, the beaches, the cafes and the train station. The three-storey building has clean geometric lines, rhythmic walls, twin wing-like roofs, porphyry stone feature walls laid in a random pattern, masonry that is rendered and painted in a sophisticated colour scheme, glass balustrades, and a combination of fixed and moveable louvre screens. Complementing the streamlined look are horizontal rolled seam blades of zinc on highlighted sections of the facade. This naturally-weathering tactile outer “skin” not only looks dramatic, it acts as a durable shield against the sun and other elements. The refinement continues in the lobby, with textured Bluestone flooring and a feature wall of marble fulfilling the promise of entering a special place. Adding colour and bouquet to the property is 30
resort-style landscaping – exotic shrubs and plants, low-maintenance gardens, a large grassed communal area with seating, and mature trees providing shade and screening. Suzanne Hibberd, the licensee of Abode Property Agents, says LATITUDE has the only new high quality apartments in South Cronulla. “Abundant storage, generous security garages, oversized entertaining terraces, light-filled interiors, floor plans optimised to enjoy maximum solar access and space whilst retaining privacy makes LATITUDE very special,” Ms Hibberd said. LATITUDE is located at 8-12 Parramatta Street South Cronulla and is available for inspection by appointment through Suzanne Hibberd on Ph: 9531 8855 or 0414 344 222.

“It’s even better than we had ImagIned,” Kate & geoff ChurCher dispelled this notion.
“it’s amazing just how accurate the Computer Generated images that HELM produced are. The building and our apartment have turned out just as the brochure showed.” One thing that surprised the Churchers was the amount of storage space, which exceeded their expectations. “We know storage is a major issue for downsizers so we over compensate,” said Mark Monk, General Manager of HeLM. “We also provide multi-functional living areas that interconnect with the outdoor space, expanding entertaining options.”
KATE and Geoff Churcher were among the first buyers to inspect their apartment at LATiTudE, and although there were still some finishing touches to be added the local couple were full of praise. The Churchers are typical of many empty-nesters who are nearing retirement and looking to downsize. Married in 1969, they had lived in older-style family homes with gardens and swimming pools at Gymea for 39 of those years. “We wanted a change,” said Geoff. “We had renovated both the houses we lived in and wanted something brand new. Our concern was whether we’d enjoy living in an apartment.” Kate and Geoff sold up, but rather than plunging into an apartment purchase they decided to rent an apartment first. When convinced that apartment living was for
them, and that being close to beaches and shops with level walks was the ideal location, Kate and Geoff bought an upper level apartment at Latitude off-the-plan. They have visited the Latitude site to check on progress almost every week since they made their purchase. “I like the way the building looks from the outside and I’ve been dying to see it from the inside.” said Kate. When that opportunity came, Kate beamed: “It’s marvelous; even better than we had imagined.” What surprised Kate most was the views they get over the water to the Sydney CBD. “At night we’ll be able to see the city lights twinkling, and this New Years Eve we’ll be able to watch the fireworks from our balcony.” Being a physiotherapist, Kate also appreciated the extra wide doorways and hallways which
allow wheelchair access if needed, and the higher than-average height of the kitchen benches. “This is good for your posture because you can prepare meals without bending,” said Kate. Kitchens at Latitude are positioned as part of the living areas. They have a breakfast bar with a stone benchtop, colour backed glass splashbacks, polyurethane joinery, double undermount sinks, a practical pantry, Miele appliances – including a pyrolytic self-cleaning oven and Grohe tapwear. Geoff expressed delight at the large timber deck, which has gas and water connections. “It will be perfect for entertaining, and I’ll be cooking plenty of barbecues on it.” Prospective buyers are often reluctant to purchase off-the-plan because they find it hard visualising how their apartment will turn out, but Geoff
HeLM is a privately-owned Australian company specialising in boutique size luxury apartment developments. In keeping with its philosophy of ‘quality over quantity’, Latitude has just 15 large apartments that capture the essence of South Cronulla, with no compromises taken and nothing left to chance. Floor-to-ceiling windows in all apartments capture copious natural light, bathing the interiors in a glorious glow and adding to the airy feel. “Our apartment feels so open – not closed in,” said Kate. “It’s certainly large enough for our relatives and friends to visit, which we know they will.”
LATiTudE is located at 8-12 Parramatta Street, South Cronulla and is available for inspection by appointment through Suzanne Hibberd on Ph: 9531 8855 or 0414 344 222.

David Edward Films IMAGINE TURNING A HOBBY INTO A THRIVING business? It takes years of trial and error, and a great deal of perseverance, but that's exactly what happened with David Edwards Films. Turning the clock back to 1990 saw the first time David got to use a Video camera. It was a Panasonic M50. Nothing was edited, just recorded straight to VHS tape. Times have changed considerably and the business is enjoying the success of creating modern Cinematic Wedding Videos. The quality is as good as the movies, serious! Using Canon DSLR Cameras, David Edwards Films produce stunning Weddings in Full HD. David is meticulous with his processes. With over 120 Wedding films shot, he has a good understanding of how to record and produce a Wedding Video. The Wedding Film is fast becoming the “Must Have� item on the list of essentials for your Wedding. David works with clients personally and talks them through the process so they know what to expect on the day. The aim is to re-create their wedding as it happened. David has seen huge changes in technology over the past few years and is very pleased to be able to bring
this to the consumer. Even 5 years ago, the cost of producing such a high standard of work would have been much too costly. Couples are welcome to book an appointment at his studio to see wedding films first hand. Alternatively you can sample his work online in a lower resolution. The finished product can be delivered on DVD, Blu-ray or an iTunes downloadable file to share.
A fresh approach to modern cinematography

play why children should colour Colouring is not just a form of self-expression but activities that can help children build their fine motor skills. A child may begin to colour just for fun, but while doing so begins to develop the fine motor skills they will need later on in life. Colouring helps a child develop the muscles in their hands, which can become important later in life for things like typing where the hand and arms need to work together. Learning this coordination is vital to a child's development. When

learning to colour children learn how to grip and control the crayon. It is important for children to learn how to properly grip a writing instrument. Colouring is often a child's first experience with how to properly grip a writing instrument.

a mother's love A girlfriend posted this message on Facebook to her son who recently turned one. Life can become so insanely busy with a new little person in your life however when you put your feet up at the end of the day and all your work is done this is just a little reminder that it’s all worth it! Happy birthday to the most amazing little guy I have ever met. We are so insanely lucky to have you in our lives. I love that you sometimes call the dog a book, how you throw your food when you're finished then look up sweetly and tell me you're done. I love that you will drink guava, pineapple, papaya, coconut, mango... but not milk. I love that you hate food from jars but you'll eat olives off my 36
pizza. I love changing you only to have to change you again 30 seconds later because you love a clean slate, but mostly I love you because you're you - the best person I know. I love you more than life itself baby. Happy Number One. Xox. Posted by Kathryn Brown for her son Indiana.

Welcome to Nippers! As the season warms up we will now see the familiar sight of thousands of kids swarming onto the Cronulla beaches each Sunday to participate in Nippers. It is a great part of Australian culture and a fundamental part of growing up in The Shire. Every parent wants their child to lead a happy, healthy and active life. A good start is introducing them to surf lifesaving and nippers. Nippers are a junior program that introduces children aged 6 to 13 to surf lifesaving. It is a fun outdoors activity that grows a child’s confidence, teaches valuable life skills and knowledge. Nippers are about learning, confidence and having fun in a safe beach environment. For Nippers, the beach is the classroom. They gain confidence by passing the ‘tests’ of swimming, body boarding, beach sprints, dolphin-diving, spotting a rip, having fun with new friends and discovering things about themselves. Being a Nipper is about having fun whilst learning surf education and surf skills. Although there is a level of healthy competition to the carnivals and championship days, the emphasis is on participation and learning. Parents play a very
40
important role in the mechanics of the club. Firstly, all the Age Managers are volunteers and give their time freely to help kids learn. Secondly, surf clubs count on parents to assist in the water and on the beach each and every week. It’s not hard work. It’s serious fun! Nippers are a great way for children to make friends, be active and enjoy the beach in a safe environment. The skills gained in nippers will stick to the soul like sand from the beach and be carried away for life. Across Australia there are almost 50,000 nippers (6-13 years). Cronulla Cray’s have over 600 nippers and are one of the oldest and most successful Clubs in Australia. REGISTRATIONS for the 2012/13 season can still be taken at Cronulla Surf Club on the first day of Nippers which is 7th October 2012. Children are required to participate and compete in their appropriate age group. A child may join the Club as soon as they turn 6 years. Parents are encouraged, but are not required to become members of the Club, unless they want to assist Age Managers as a volunteer.

Spring Clean your Wardrobe Blake Lively in a Peplum style dress.
Hello Girls! Spring is in the air and it is time to get a bit of colour back into our lives. By Beauty Editor Cherry Ripe
The hardest thing for some people to do is toss old things out. Be brave!
A
s the weather changes, so does our spirit. We feel a lift in our emotions, gain more energy and generally we feel happier. Colour plays such an important part in how we feel, and how we feel is important. It’s time to get amongst it. As the new season begins, now is the perfect time to de-clutter your wardrobe.
Start by pulling out your entire wardrobe and placing it on the bed. The hardest thing for some people to do is toss old things out. Be brave! Use this as a guide: If you didn’t wear it last spring or summer, the chances of your wearing it this year are remote. I suggest you bag it up and pass it on to the Salvos. That is your good deed for the day. When placing clothes neatly away, hang them rather than putting them away in drawers. If you have things tucked away, you tend to forget you own them and not wear them.
50
Try and group “like” items together in the wardrobe
FOR EXAMPLE • Pants • Skirts • Shirt sleeve tops • Long sleeve tops • Dresses • Jackets • Coats Once you have organised your wardrobe, it becomes easy to see what is missing as well as what you may have too much of. As we are in a seasonal transition, I suggest adding sorbet colours to your life. Sorbet colours suit just about everyone and it’s the perfect way to get used to wearing colour again. Check out three quarter sleeve, gathered neck tops. If you prefer

beauty a more tailored look, Sportscraft have three quarter sleeve shirts. Peplum tops are everywhere and very on trend. Peplum dresses are a short overskirt with ruffle attached to the waistline and are a very notable spring trend. Though pretty, this dress might be a bit daunting to wear. If the peplum silhouette makes you shy, consider a dark monochromatic style for optimal fabulousness and flattery. Blake Lively (pictured) chose an all-black ensemble and finished it off with a bright gold bangle. The peplum shape is great for creating a waist for anyone who is thicker through the torso area and they look great when you add a contrasting belt. A big tip from Cherry girls! If you prefer a loose fit top, Country Road has many different colours to choose from. To add layering, I suggest buying soft printed scarfs. Most importantly, just get amongst the spring colours and feel the difference.

SPECIAL CARE for Special Needs We all work hard to support our family. It is reasonable to think that your children could be cared for during those extra few hours a day outside of school hours. You need it to enable you to hold down a full time job and lead a comfortable life. What makes it tough is when your child has special needs. The federal government has decided to cut funding to Sylvanvale Outside of School Hours (SOOSH) and risk closing down their service. It is the ONLY after school care service available in the St George and Sutherland Shire for children with a disability. Sylvanvale Foundation is a NSW based charity that has been helping people improve the lives of children with a disability since 1947. They provide education, respite, after school and vacation care plus much more. 16 Children aged from 5-11 years old currently access SOOSH and this rejection has had a major effect on 52
their parents, staff and community. “The carers at Sylvanvale are specially trained and very sympathetic individuals. They know the requirements of our special needs children almost as well as the parents. They are an invaluable and irreplaceable resource with added piece of mind� said Justin McIntosh. Justin and Jodie McIntosh are the parents of 11-year-old Eamon who has attended SOOSH since its inception. The local community has stepped in and supported Sylvanvale at a time when they need it most. Thomas Holt Villages, Kazacos Foundations and St George Leagues Club have assisted with funding to keep SOOSH operating and hope this decision born out of ignorance is soon reversed by the federal government.

GROW YOUR OWN
and get healthy
HEALTH AND WELLBEING GO HAND IN HAND WITH plants, particularly the edible varieties. Herbs are very popular and with good reason, they have a high nutritional value are very easy to grow and are perfect for quick and easy meals. Growing your own has the benefit of having fresh herbs on hand. Juice them, use them in stir frying, slow cooking or toss them in the marinade for cooking on the barbecue, and don’t forget to throw some in your salads. HERBS CAN BE GROWN in the garden in a well drained soil that has been prepared with planting compost. When growing any plant in pots, always use a premium potting mix to ensure correct pH and nutrient availability. Most herbs require about 5 – 6 hours sunlight per day. CHOOSE FROM old favourites such as parsley, rosemary, basil and thyme or if you like Asian style 54

cooking or seafood, why not grow some Vietnamese mint, coriander, lemon grass and dill? Some herbs grow easily from seed, particularly coriander and basil. Rosemary will grow from soft tip cuttings or you can buy an array of herbs as seedlings or in small pots. Start with a few and build on your home grown herb garden as your confidence grows. Who knows, you may progress to growing fruit trees or vegetables. www.renaissanceherbs.com.au Have a terrific website that tells you all about the plants, where to buy them and even include some delicious recipes to use them in.

Exercising to
tone the soul
Two Women worried about their weight. Both believed if they lost some weight and got into better shape they would be more energetic, productive, look and feel better about themselves. Both were told by their doctors that losing weight would be a wise thing to do. The first woman went out and got some exercise equipment. Every day she vowed she was going to start using the equipment because she really wanted to lose weight. The other woman began a program of
education. She learned what foods were healthy and which were not as healthy. She began a program of exercise. She began watching and limiting the kinds of food she was consuming. The first woman ended up selling her never used exercise equipment for a fraction of the cost on eBay. She is looking at some new equipment now because she still really wants to lose weight. The other woman lost her weight and looks and feels great. She still eats the right foods and has a regular program of exercise. Now it's not because she is trying to lose weight . . . it’s because she has found that she is more energetic, productive and feels better about herself and life. The key was in combining the elimination of destructive behaviours and development of positive behaviours. This is also the key to becoming spiritually fit! Exercise a thought, you reap an act. Exercise an act, you reap a habit. Exercise a habit, you reap a character. Exercise a character and you reap a destiny. Want to know more about spiritual toning?

METHOD 1 Butter fly the squid: locate the ridge inside the squid bodies, and then cut down each body in a line opposite to the ridge. 2 Lay the squid bodies’ outer side down, inside (ridge side) up and use a fairly blunt, serrated knife to score the flesh into diamonds. 3 Zest the lemon, or finely pare the rind, removing

any pith, and then finely chop the pithless rind. Split and deseed the chilli, then chop very finely. Retain half of the lemon for squeezing over the cooked squid. 4 Mix the lemon zest, chilli, garlic and oil. Season well. Toss with the prepared, butter flied squid. Make sure the garlic and chilli are well distributed, catching in all the diamond crevices of the squid. Leave for 10 minutes then toss again. 5 Preheat barbecue until really hot. Lay squid, diamond side up. Let them cook for one minute before turning them all over. 6 Cook for a minute more. The butter flied squid pieces want to curl up, so flip the pieces over one more time to encourage them to do so. Allow the curled-up pieces to get a final minute of cooking.
Serve immediately.

SQUID ARE JET PROPELLED, MASTERS OF CAMOUFLAGE AND IT WASN’T THAT LONG AGO THEY WERE CONSIDERED PESTS. Then immigrants from the Mediterranean regions opened our eyes to the fabulous eating qualities of these odd looking creatures. squid
The Local waters are home to several species of squid. The Southern Calamari and the Arrow squid are the most common. They are easily identified by the wings on the sides of their body. The Southern Calamari has wings which run their entire length whilst the Arrow squid have small wings near their tail. As their name would suggest, they look a bit like the head of an arrow. Squid are skilled ambush hunters that hide in the weed waiting for a feed to swim by. It is not uncommon to see a squadron of squid hovering in the shadows waiting to dart out and fire their tentacles at their unsuspecting quarry. Squid are very short lived, with a live span of just 18 months. As a consequence they are very fast growing. From a culinary perspective, the Calamari is number one. If you are disciplined enough to resist eating them, they are as good a bait as you will get for kingfish, snapper and jewfish. Squid like clean clear water, so are best fished for close to the mouth of estuaries, particularly as high tide is approaching. Most active at night, they are best targeted around brightly lit areas such as wharves and pontoons. They also like weedy areas, particularly kelp beds to hide in. Find a spot that combines all and you are in squid heaven. It is very rare to catch squid on conventional fishing tackle. The most popular method is to use specialised “squid jigs”. Like most lures they come in a myriad of colours, designs and styles and are aimed at imitating prawns and small baitfish. Ask ten squid fishos what their favourite colour is and you will get ten different answers. This suggests it is more how and where the jig is fished rather than the colour. The trick is to vary retrieve speeds. Short shape flicks of the rod will cause the jig to dart around like a
Squid are skilled ambush hunters that hide in the weed waiting for a feed to swim by. nervous prawn and attract the attention of any squid in the area. When you hook one don’t rush to heave it in. Squid swim by expelling a jet of water from their body. A slow and steady approach, with a well set drag will allow you to absorb their periodic bursts of power. I like to add a few after market modifications to my jigs. Firstly I find the lead weight is too heavy for the shallow waters of the Hacking and you have to work the jig too fast to prevent it snagging in the weed. To fix this I use a pair of wire cutters to trim off small pieces of lead until the jig is all but neutrally buoyant. This allows the jig to hover mid water and be worked very slowly which is particularly successful when the squid are on the shy side. I also like to add some scent to the jig by rubbing prawn or pilchard along its flanks. Finally and most importantly, beware the squid squirt! Many a shirt has been ruined by a well aimed shot of squid ink and slime. To avoid looking like Bindi Irwin at the Nickelodeon awards night, keep the head pointing away from you as you go to land it. Hold it at bay, until it fires its last shot. They cannot reload if their head is out of the water. Whether it’s on the plate or on the hook squid are pretty hard to beat. SHINEMAGAZINE2012
