Hex key to love

GREENS READY Journalist and Leichhardt resident Hall Greenland has thrown his hat into the ring as Greens candidate for Grayndler in the upcoming federal election.

Mr Greenland believes this seat will fall to the Greens because its constituents are more progressive than the current Labor Government.

Couple’s wedding with a twist on Valentine’s Day VANESSA WATSON

P

lenty of couples popped the big question yesterday on Valentine’s Day, yet no wedding compared to that of sweethearts, Lynne Klanbida and Chad Martin.

The couple learned the hex key to great marriage on Valentine’s Day yesterday when they tied the knot at IKEA Tempe.

“Romance can be alive anywhere, even in aisles of IKEA,” Ms Klanbida said.

An IKEA spokeswoman said Chad and Lynne were chosen from a short list of three couples after a wedding competition in October attracted over 500 entries from members of the IKEA Family program.

“They’re very quirky. They obviously love IKEA,” the spokeswoman said.

“I think they embodied what we see our customers to be – they love their home, they love home furnishings and they’re building a home together.”

Bridesmaids Rebecca Howarth, Ashlea Matthews and Lu Zheng told the Weekender the wedding was “defi nitely very Lynne and Chad”.

“Almost everything in their apartment is from IKEA,” Ms Zheng said.

“They just come here and make it a date,” Ms Matthews said.

Preparations for the unique nuptials began in November and included bi-monthly store walk-throughs so the Hornsby couple could hand pick their décor for the big day.

“We all sat down and worked out what they wanted the look and feel to be, be it chic and white or more vintage,” the spokeswoman said.

“Everything here on the day is covered for them, like the reception, a photographer, the catering, the crockery, lighting, textiles, dining furniture, decorations and glassware.”

The ceremony went for one hour and was attended by 80 friends and family members.

After the ceremony, the couple cut a flat pack-inspired wedding cake topped with a giant Allen key.

Key election issues still deeply flawed

W

hen Kevin Rudd was rolled

by Julia Gillard for the Prime Ministership, she justified it by saying “I believe a good government has lost its way”.

Ms Gillard pledged to put the Government back on the right path by solving three vexed policy areas – mining taxation, carbon pricing and asylum seekers.

The carbon tax is still largely seen as a broken promise in the electorate, even if anger has tempered.

Asylum seekers are still arriving in boats at a record rate – almost 1,000 already this year and it’s only February.

Until last week the mining tax was looking like the least problematic.

That was until the Treasurer revealed the so-called minerals resource rent tax (MRRT) only reaped $126 million in its fi rst six months – well short of the $2 billion forecast for the tax’s fi rst year.

At the very least, it is an embarrassment. At worst, it’s another political disaster for Labor.

The Prime Minister and Treasurer now face criticism from all sides; the Greens, the independents, the mining industry, the opposition, the states... oh, and from Kevin Rudd.

Mr Rudd is using the apparent MRRT flaws to once again fan the leadership flames.

The former PM gladly laid the blame at Treasurer Wayne Swan’s feet – telling Sky News this week it was he and Ms Gillard who changed his government’s original design.

“[The] Treasurer and the new Prime Minister elected to make some significant changes to the structure of the tax. I think we are all familiar with what those changes are,” he said.

“So, I think in terms of any future changes to the tax, given the fact that it has not collected any real revenue of any significance so far, that really is a matter for the Prime Minister and the Treasurer to consider and I’ll leave it with them.”

But the mining tax was flawed under Kevin Rudd too.

In its original form, the resource super profits tax was unacceptable to the industry, and had no hope of being agreed to. Mr Rudd himself was deeply involved in his own negotiations to water down the tax and break the stalemate.

After he was rolled, Ms Gillard took over. But she only conducted negotiations with the big three (Rio, BHP and Xstrata).

It is now demonstrably clear she gave too much away by agreeing to refund increases in State Government royalties.

Now she has the Herculean task of trying to overhaul the tax before the election without angering stakeholders too much.

Another war with the mining industry is too dangerous, even if most Australians believe it does need to pay more.

Instead, Julia Gillard has picked a fight with the states.

Th is is unlikely to end well... the states can’t be forced and have no real incentive to agree and the big miners are geared up for round two with a combative ad campaign at the ready.

For Kevin Rudd – he sees the whole

Treasurer Wayne Swan. Photo: Melinda Jane.

ordeal as vindication – but it might not win him any votes in caucus for highlighting the party’s festering wounds.

For Julia Gillard, it reminds Labor MPs (especially those in marginal seats) that it is approaching another election with the three key issues she identified to fi x still deeply flawed.

Lawn bowler becomes surprise entrant in Australian Open

Lawn mowing & Garden Maintenance

VANESSA WATSON

arrickville Bowling Club bowler Liz Baker left for Melbourne this week to represent her club at the Australian Open of lawn bowls.

Ms Baker, 36, will take to the green at Victoria’s Darebin International Sports Centre on Monday, February 18, after securing her place at a NSW qualifying event in November.

“I’ll be there in our blue and yellow uniform,” Ms Baker said of the knockout tournament.

“There were only 66 qualifiers for the women’s singles in all of Australia.”

In November, Ms Baker attended the NSW qualifying lawn bowls event in western Sydney simply to practice her singles game.

“I just went along because I like to play singles, then the draw came out and I’d drawn one of the current Australian representative players,” Ms Baker said.

“Then I won... No one’s ever heard of me, I’m just a baby bowler, so I was shocked and thrilled. I was so happy I just started crying, I couldn’t help it.”

Ms Baker said she’d been overwhelmed by support from people at the Marrickville Bowling and Recreation Club.

“The day that I qualified, I sent a couple of people text messages and the number of phone calls and texts I got back, it was fantastic. Everyone’s been wishing me well.”

Ms Baker said she enjoyed the challenge.

“I just got addicted the fi rst time I played,” she said.

“I want to go as far as I can. We’ve been putting in lots of hours training. I want to make the state team.”

To perfect her play, the librarian by day has trained with current world outdoor

and triples champion Australian Karen Murphy, who she may battle on Monday.

The club’s treasurer Jim Fowler said Ms Baker was one of the club’s young and upcoming players known for her technique.

“It’s been described to me as almost the perfect delivery,” Mr Fowler said.

Roll up your sleeves: Clean Up Australia Day needs you

Miranda Kerr was announced as the ambassador for Kids Helpline. Photo: Damian Shaw.

Kids Helpline has star power: Kerr signs on as ambassador nternational model, author and businesswoman Miranda Kerr has been announced as ambassador of the national telephone and online counselling service Kids Helpline.

Kids Helpline CEO Tracy Adams said Ms Kerr’s authentic commitment to health and wellbeing made her an inspirational role model for young people across the nation.

“Miranda has been a supporter of Kids Helpline for a number of years and we are delighted she has become our ambassador,” she said.

“Last year our counsellors responded to

I

270,000 contacts from kids getting in touch for support and by announcing Miranda as our new ambassador we hope to take that reach even further.”

First becoming involved with the service a number of years ago, Ms Kerr more recently lent her support to the Too Many Too Soon suicide awareness campaign, prompted by her personal loss of a young cousin to suicide.

“There is not enough awareness about the fact that Kids Helpline services are available to all Australian kids and that is why I wanted to support them,” Ms Kerr said.

Marrickville Council is urging residents to register for Clean Up Australia Day.

arrickville Council is encouraging citizens to roll up their sleeves, don a pair of gardening gloves and head out to sites around the Marrickville area for Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday, March 3.

In the past three years, sites around the Marrickville Council area have attracted nearly 6,000 volunteers with more than five tonnes of waste collected.

Marrickville Mayor Victor Macri said he sees this as the perfect opportunity for residents wanting to build relationships within their community while also

M

helping to beautify the environment.

“If we all chip in, we can see that our local environment really benefits from the care afforded by citizens participating on Clean Up Australia Day, fostering a sense of neighbourliness and enduring community dynamic,” Cr Macri said.

To assist with the volunteering process, Marrickville Council will be providing logistical support on the day, recruiting community groups, individuals, local businesses and schools to help clean up our environment. For more information, please visit Clean Up Australia at www. cleanup.org.au.

Greens get ready to contest federal election

Pub fight injury: Man charged with assault A man is facing court after an alleged assault during an incident outside a Newtown pub earlier this month. A 27-year-old man was asked to leave a King Street hotel by security about 11.30pm on Saturday, February 2. Police have been told the man fell and hit his head on the footpath following an argument with guards.

The critically injured man was taken to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and underwent emergency treatment. The 27-year-old has since regained consciousness. On Monday afternoon, a 20-year-old Dulwich Hill man attended Newtown Police Station with his solicitor. Srike Force detectives subsequently charged him with reckless, grievous bodily harm and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. The man facing court was granted conditional bail and is expected to appear in court on March 4.

Anyone with information that might assist investigators is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

ournalist and Leichhardt resident Hall Greenland has thrown his hat into the ring for the federal election in September as the Greens candidate for Grayndler.

Mr Greenland described the inner west seat of Grayndler, held by Labor MP Anthony Albanese since 1996, as a region where many voters are “much more progressive� politically than the Gillard Labor government. “I don’t believe the majority of Grayndler voters support that government’s policies on climate change, single mums and the Northern Territory Intervention. I think the majority of voters in Grayndler are much more progressive than the Gillard government is proving to be,� he said. “I want to be elected to represent those voters.�

Mr Greenland said if elected, he could second Private Members’ Bills with Melbourne Greens MP Adam Bandt and his priorities would be opposing the WestConnex motorway, action on a second Sydney airport, investment in high speed rail, raising pensions for single mums, a “genuine mining tax� and “huge� investments in public education and public transport. “I think it’s a very important election. Grayndler in all probability is the next seat that falls to the Greens, after Melbourne, so I think it’s important that Anthony Albanese listens to the electorate and responds positively on issues like WestConnex and the airport. “I think the economic case for WestConnex is a furphy. Most of the economic benefits depend on shortening the travel time for people from western Sydney to the city. Most of those will evaporate in a very short time; they won’t be real or lasting benefits. “We’d get more bang for our buck if we were to

POLICE SNAPSHOT

Attempted theft: Two vehicles tampered with Marrickville Police are investigating two attempted thefts of motor vehicle offences. Both vehicles were parked in a public car park near the intersection of Hercules and Loftus Streets at Dulwich Hill. Both owners advised police their vehicles were locked when left at the location Monday night. On returning to their respective vehicles on Tuesday morning they noted their vehicles had been tampered with and further investigation revealed exposed wiring near the ignition. Police are appealing for any witnesses to this incident to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or Marrickville Police on 9568 9299.

invest in more light rail, more heavy rail and more buses.�

He also took aim at the federal government’s Mining Tax, which he described as “a joke�. “I don’t think it’s much of an exaggeration to say the big mining companies wrote the Mining Tax. There can be no surprise it’s raising very little money. What’s worse is Abbott wants to scrap it.�

In the early hours of last Friday morning, police stopped a car in Newtown for a random breath test and spoke with the occupants.

As a result of police checks, the car was subsequently searched and property found, which was associated with a number of recent break-ins, one of which had taken place at Petersham. Two of the occupants were interviewed and subsequently charged.

Both are due to face Central Local Court.

he fi fth and fi nal Reclaim the Lanes festival poured through Newtown lanes and streets on Saturday before settling at Sydney Park.

Hundreds of party-goers descended on Alice and King lanes as mobile sound systems offered multiple makeshift dance floors.

People danced to the likes of Itch-E & Scratch-E, covered bitumen with chalk and stopped traffic as police escorted the parade down King Street before an official after-party at the Gladstone Hotel.

Reclaim the Lanes aims to celebrate the forgotten urban spaces of the inner west and the creative community that live around them.

One of the festival’s directors, Stewart Rimes, told the Weekender the turnout was better than expected, with crowd estimates of 1,200 to 1,400 at Sydney Park.

“There’s such a strong community out there, which I think was demonstrated from the numbers that turned up on the weekend,” Mr Rimes said.

“We’re so grateful to everyone who put in so much free time and effort into making it such an incredible day.

Mr Rimes said he hoped people would “pick up the baton” and stage their own community street parties in years to come.

WEEKLY WINE

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT

Moonlight wines and the best blends

Secret garden space at Marrickville Library A new outdoor space known as the ‘Secret Garden’ will be launched adjacent to Marrickville Library on Tuesday February 26. An extension of the library community hub, the ‘Secret Garden’ will create a safe, outdoor space where Marrickville citizens may read borrowed articles, or interact with other visitors of the library.

“Marrickville Council is proud to present a public space for patrons of the library to read quietly, or socialise with other members of the community,” said Marrickville Mayor Victor Macri.

By developing the outdoor area, more space is available to the community so as to reduce social and cultural isolation. The space was transformed with the help of a Regional and Local Community Infrastructure grant of $60,000 supplied by the Federal Government.

A

ustralian winemakers are amongst the world’s best when it comes to creating blends, wines that in many cases can prove far more rewarding than straight varietals.

And a very interesting, and yes rewarding, blend that’s now on bottle shop shelves is Fifth Leg’s 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Merlot, a drop that winemaker, Oliver Crawford sums up as “a serious wine in a fun package”.

Indeed Fifth Leg is a fun and quality label, produced by Devil’s Lair Wines in the heart of Western Australia’s Margaret River region.

And it was named as so after the fossilised remains of a Tasmanian Tiger with a mysterious fifth leg were found in a cave near the winery. How it got there from Tasmania, and how it came to have a fifth leg, will doubtless remain forever two of life’s little mysteries.

The Cabernet Sauvignon component gives this wine dark cherry and blackberry fruit notes and grippy tannins. On the other side, the Shiraz provides plum, pepper and spice, and the Merlot adds nice, juicy, red fruits on the nose and palate. The quality of the Margaret River fruit gives it flavour which will appeal to the serious red wine drinker as well. A great drop at $17.99 with that next family Sunday roast.

One to note: Victoria’s Blue Pyrenees, 180 kilometres northwest of Melbourne, was conceived

by French Champagne houses Krug and Charles Heidseick (then known as Chateau Remy) back in

Fanny Durack Aquatic Centre Refurbishment Significant progress was made in November and December 2012 prior to the Christmas close down.

Demolition of the old plant room building and former entry and public toilets was completed. The excavation for the additional two lanes and ramp/stair into the refurbished pool was also completed.

Since the site team has recommenced this year, the new footings and drainage for the relocated public amenities and new entry, office and café have been completed.

Overall construction is expected to take eleven months and is to be completed prior to the start of the 2013/14 swimming season.

Th is is an exciting project which will greatly improve the amenities at the Centre.

Council will continue to provide regular updates on the progress of works throughout the construction phase.

1963, but today it still pays homage to its French heritage by making classic Australian sparklings in the Méthode Champenoise technique.

Their 2009 Midnight Cuvee – so-named because the grapes are hand-picked at night under moonlight to avoid heat of day damage – is a stand-out bubbly with loads of sparkle and delicious flavour. Pay $32 and go forth and enjoy this one at that next party or celebration.

F

ounded for the new millennium in 2000, CrossFit is a form of fitness training that overtakes the others.

CrossFit strength and conditioning programs are described as constantly varied, high intensity, functional movements, with the stated goal of improving overall fitness.

Now, Marrickville is home to one of the country’s prime CrossFit studios, after trainers Darren Coughlan and Brendon Walsh opened the doors of Reebok CrossFit at Lilian Fowler Place in December.

“It’s the best general fitness program available today, the results speak for themselves. It helps you to be prepared for all the activities and movements you might come across in your daily life,” Mr Walsh said.

Mr Walsh said he came to CrossFit after he fractured his C4 when he injured his spine and needed to strengthen his core to return to good health.

“I did all my rehabilitation at CrossFit Newcastle with Darren,” Mr Walsh said.

“When I had fi nished rehabilitation, I was much stronger and faster than I had ever been. It was then I knew there was something special about CrossFit.” Mr Walsh said CrossFit embodies a community aspect to classes and fosters a supportive environment that includes weights, power lifting, sprinting, jumping and pull ups in a class setting.

“Our motto is ‘fitness for everyone’. We have clients who are grandmothers and we have clients who are professional athletes,” he said.

“CrossFit is universally scalable, so everyone does the same activities, but they’re scaled to meet individual abilities for any age, fitness level or injury.”

If you’re looking for a new way to get fit, Reebok CrossFit is offering new clients a 10 per cent discount for the month of February.

“We’re always here, come in and say hello.”

Reebok CrossFit is located at 1/32 Lilian Fowler Place, Marrickville.

KEEPING FIT

by Elisha Stein

by David Stein

10 tips for good health s a nurse people often ask me questions like, ‘What are the most important things I can do for my health?’. Th is is such a complicated question because there is no single answer, but I know of a blog by ‘Natural New Age Mum’ and I want to share it with you all. By following these 10 steps, I have no doubt that your health will improve.

1. Educate yourself. Learn about health and nutrition. Read labels. Read books. Read blogs. Research. Ask questions.

2. Keep it simple. Eat fresh food with the least human intervention. Don’t eat anything your grandma wouldn’t recognise. Don’t eat anything advertised on TV. The longer the shelf life, the shorter your life.

3. Drink more water. Really. It’s been said, I know, but lots of fi ltered water really does make a huge difference to how you feel. Ditch the soft drink or cordial and keep alcohol to a rare treat.

4. Start eating superfoods. Put simply, some foods give you more bang for your buck. My favourites are coconut oil, chia seeds and spirulina. Visit your health food store and start experimenting.

5. Choose organic. Lighten the toxic load of your family by choosing organic. You also ensure that your

food is GMO and additive free at the same time. Plus, it’s good for the planet.

Take a probiotic. Your gut health plays a very important part in your entire body’s health. Get it sorted and you will feel a million dollars. Choose a really good quality probiotic for the best effect.

Stretch. Our bodies are not designed to sit around all day, hunched over a computer desk, TV or video game. Get up, get on the floor and do some yoga stretches.

Love your body. No matter what it looks like or has been through, love your body. If you don’t love and respect your beautiful body, why would you look after it?

Slow down. Breathe. Relax. Enjoy life.

Stress is a killer. Don’t fi nd that out too late.

Be Authentic. Be yourself. Trying to live a life being someone you aren’t is a sure-fi re path to ill health.

Happiness and health will come when you live your truth.

I

had a client come in who was very overweight fairly recently, we went over a little of her eating patterns through the day.

She was having a weight loss shake for breakfast and lunch, a diet soft drink for an afternoon snack and dinner was some fruit and sometimes one of those sport supplement bars you can fi nd in any supermarket now. She thought she was doing very well to follow this ‘healthy’ diet. Problem was she was feeling like rubbish, tired and hungry all the time.

That was just the immediate effect, I didn’t want to tell her how bad the long term effect of eating that non-food was.

From the chemically extracted mess they pull out of the defatted useless, cheap soybean leftovers, then call it ‘soy protein isolate’, to the chemical and MSG laden diet products and powders. Th is diet has nothing to do with getting someone healthy, and lots to do with getting someone sick, weak, tired and depressed. MSG in weight loss supplements can go under many names, even ‘natural flavour’. Funny thing is, they use the same stuff in labs to fatten animals up when they are doing obesity studies.

As well as the highly toxic chemicals like hexane that is used to refi ne soy, it has also been shown to inhibit thyroid function, and cause oestrogen

problems. Do some research on low fat or low cholesterol diets and I bet depression will start showing up in any of the studies you fi nd.

Seriously, use common sense! If your breakfast is a powder poured out of a shiny bag with a use by date in a couple years time, then there is nothing good in it for your body. Forget calories and look at nutrition. You don’t get fat eating highly nutritious food. For some good info check out a movie called ‘Hungry for Change’.

I’ve said before, if an obese person came up to me and can prove they got too fat eating completely unprocessed salad or vegetables, and things like fi sh or grass fed steak, I’d train them for free until they reach whatever weight they like!

No one has ever taken me up on it yet. And even if one day that guy did walk up to me I bet he’s the healthiest fat guy you’ll ever meet!

To audition visit www.australiasgottalent.com.au.

CHATTER ON THE BOX WITH NATHAN TAYLOR T

o begin I want to let off some steam and express my disgust at Foxtel.

Last week I received a notification from them saying my subscription would yet again rise by $3 per month, and that certain channels are moving packages.

One of the channel swaps that baffled me the most was Animal Planet moving from the ‘Documentary & Adventure’ package, where it should be, over to… wait for it…

‘Kids & Music’. Try and make sense of that one. Firstly, I’ve never seen one music video on Animal Planet, and secondly since when are African lions hunting down a herd of deer perfect for children’s viewing?

I’ve contacted Foxtel regarding the rather awkward channel swap but am still waiting on a response.

Who remembers the ‘Thunderbirds’?

Well, they may be back. ITV in the UK is reviving the ‘Thunderbirds’, some 50 years after it first appeared. The new series which has the working title of ‘Thunderbirds Are Go!’ will feature a “unique mix of CGI animation and live-action model sets” and will “deliver a whole new level of actionadventure animation for today’s audience, whilst also affectionately paying tribute to the legacy of model locations from the classic series”.

How’s this for awesome news, Kate Ritchie aka little Sally Fletcher is returning home after almost five years away. Ritchie’s return to ‘Home and Away’ will coincide with the soap’s 25th anniversary celebrations.

Ritchie will commence filming in a few weeks with episodes likely to air mid-year.

It’s unknown how long her stint will be for but there’s no doubt producers will be encouraging her to stay.

Australia’s most successful short films contest, Tropfest, will air for the first time live on SBS this Sunday. Catch ‘Tropfest 2013’ on SBS ONE this Sunday, February 17 at 8.30pm. Tropfest 2013 features 16 finalists who are selected from around 700 entries.

Lastly, a show that I discovered over the weekend that actually wasn’t that bad was ‘Animal Airport’. The show follows the tales of the many creatures that pass through the doors of the Animal Reception Centre at Heathrow Airport. Nowhere else will you find as many species of animals as they journey – some legally, many illegally – across the globe. Catch this surprisingly entertaining show on Lifestyle first at 6.30pm on Saturdays and replayed at 1.30pm on Sundays.

Sport Jets pass their first trial

For those who still haven’t registered, Earlwood Wanderers is having one more registration Day this Saturday

Newtown holds up against Bulldogs’ 2012 grand final squad

Last Registration Day When: Saturday 16th February Where: EWFC Clubhouse (Earlwood Oval) Doris Ave, Earlwood Time: 9:00am - 2:00pm

O

ne of Rugby League’s oldest local derbies was revived on Sunday afternoon at Belmore Sportsground, when the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs hosted the Newtown Jets in a fi rst grade trial match.

The Bulldogs were returning to their traditional home ground Belmore as the 2012 NRL Grand Finalists, while the Jets entered the 2013 season as the reigning VB NSW Cup premiers.

The Bulldogs fielded a composite NSW Cup trial squad in the fi rst two quarters of the game while the Jets gave all of their triallists extended game time in the fi rst half.

Canterbury showed more cohesion and individual skills in the opening 40 minutes, running in five tries to lead 22-4 at half-time.

The Newtown coaching staff would have been pleased to see NSW Cup regulars Khalid Deeb and Ryan Verlinden both make successful returns to the playing field after season-ending leg injuries in 2012.

The second half saw the Bulldogs field eight members of their 2012 NRL Grand Final squad plus their high-profi le new signing Tony ‘T-Rex’ Williams.

Newtown turned out a mixture of several members of their 2012 premiership team, a few members of the Roosters full-time squad as well as graduates from last year’s Roosters

Toyota Cup squad.

The second 40 minutes was an excellent contest and was regarded as being more than satisfactory by both clubs’ coaching staff.

The Jets held a very strong Bulldogs line-up to 14-10 (three tries to two) in the second half and both sides turned on quality football for the crowd of just under 5,000.

Former Roosters under 20’s players Dean Blackman, Paul Rokolati and Chris Taripo were Newtown’s try-scorers and new Jets signing Matt Mundine kicked a goal.

Newtown’s next trial match is against Wests Tigers at Allianz Stadium on Saturday, February 23, with this match timed for kick-off at 3.00pm.
