VENTILATION MUST-KNOWS
When it comes to making your home comfortable and energy-efficient, having good ventilation is important.
Whether building from the ground up or embarking on a renovation of an existing home, understanding the importance of ventilation and how it affects energy ratings should be a priority for Australian homeowners,
no matter what part of the country they live in.
Leading ventilation experts, Fanco explain the importance of proper ventilation for your home and how you can meet the 7-star rating requirements, including guidance on selecting the right accessories and options to ensure
your ventilation system operates efficiently.
The role of ventilation Ventilation, put simply, is the deliberate introduction of outdoor air into your home. A good ventilation system raises oxygen levels, manages indoor temperatures, helps prevent condensation and mould growth within the home, and remove dust, allergens, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household products that can negatively impact health. In a country with extreme temperatures, proper airflow helps regulate indoor climate, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems, enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency.
The 7-star rating: what it means for homeowners
The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) in Australia provides a star rating system for homes, ranging from 0 to 10 stars, based on their energy efficiency. A 7-star rating signifies a high level of energy efficiency, meaning the home requires less energy for heating and cooling, which translates to lower energy bills and a reduced environmental footprint.
For homeowners to achieve a 7-star rating on the ventilation of their new build or when renovating an older home, here’s what you need to know:
1. Compliance with building codes: New homes must comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and other relevant standards.
2. Optimised design: Maximising natural ventilation involves strategic placement of windows, doors, and vents to facilitate airflow. Cross-ventilation, where air can flow from one side of the house to the other, is particularly effective.
3. Energy-efficient appliances: Using energy-efficient ventilation systems, such as exhaust fans and heat recovery ventilators (HRVs), can help maintain air quality while minimising energy consumption. HRV units such as the Fanco Habitat Expert and the Habitat Expert Wifi bring in fresh, filtered air and help keep your home at a comfortable temperature efficiently.
4. Sealing and insulation: Proper sealing and insulation are crucial for maintaining energy efficiency. However,
they must be balanced with effective ventilation to prevent the buildup of stale air and moisture. Fanco’s Hybrid Series exhaust fans are ideal for extracting moisture-laden, stale air, ensuring your home remains fresh and energy-efficient.
Ventilation accessories for optimal energy performance For homeowners aiming to boost their home’s ventilation and exhaust fan efficiency, this means recognising the benefits of employing the right accessories to help achieve the 7-star rating. Proper ducting is essential for preventing energy loss and maintaining efficient airflow throughout your home. It minimises leaks and ensures consistent air pressure. Vents and covers are crucial for evenly distributing air and preventing blockages, which in turn can make heating or cooling systems work harder than required, consuming more energy and contributing to higher household energy bills.
Ensuring your home remains a sanctuary of comfort and wellbeing starts with good ventilation practices. For more information visit www.fanco.com.au.

PROTECTING OUR SENIOR CITIZENS FROM SCAMS
Our elderly are at the mercy of con people and hackers. As a company, we provide Internet and phones to several retirement villages.
One of the residents called us recently, quite upset, as they had lost all their savings to a scammer. It is not a new scam – it has been around for quite some time. Unfortunately, people still fall for it, so for scammers, it is simply a numbers game. Contact enough people, and they will eventually find a victim.
The scam involves pretending to be from a reputable company. Microsoft is commonly used, as are NBN and Telstra, but realistically, it could be any company.
In this case, they represented themselves as being from Microsoft. They indicated unusual activity on their computer and needed to be investigated. These guys are good. There is enough information on the Internet about most people so that they can make you feel that they know all about your account.
The scammers managed to not only convince the victim to transfer money to them to fix the ‘issue’, but also to do it while they were remotely connected. This allowed them to capture the victim’s banking details. After they disconnected the call, they wiped out the victim’s bank account, leaving them in a devas-
tating financial situation. Unfortunately, it is almost always the elderly who get caught in this sort of scam. I have told parents on both sides of my family that if anyone calls and asks for access to their computer, they should hang up immediately.
Worst case, if they are unsure, I advise them to have the person
ring me. Guess what? That call never comes.
No companies, banks included, will ask for remote access to a computer to resolve an issue based on an unsolicited phone call. Please educate this older generation to ignore these calls, hang up and contact the family to discuss the call. If you are still determining, you can ring the relevant company directly on their phone number from their website to discuss. Do not use a number the scammer provided you on the phone.
This sort of thing upsets me; this generation is both more trusting and more confused about technology, making them the ideal target.
I am now offering to run free courses at retirement villages to highlight what to do. If there is any interest, reach out to me. There was some good news: While it took a while, the bank was able to recover the funds. But this is more of an exception than the rule.

UNDERSTANDING URINARY ISSUES IN CATS
Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD) encompasses a range of conditions affecting a cat’s bladder and urethra. These issues can lead to discomfort, pain, and serious health concerns, making it vital for cat owners to recognise the signs and understand the causes for early intervention.
Symptoms of urinary tract problems
A common indicator of urinary issues in cats is a change in litter box behaviour, such as urinating outside the box or more frequently. If your cat exhibits any of the following symptoms, prompt veterinary care is essential.
• Difficulty or pain when urinating, sometimes with vocalisation.
• Straining before, during, or after urination.
• Passing small amounts of urine or none at all, which is a medical emergency.
• Blood in the urine.
FOOT INJURIES IN CHILDREN
Foot injuries in children are surprisingly common, particularly among active children involved in sports and physical activities. Among the most frequent injuries are sprains, fractures, and growth plate issues. Understanding these conditions and how to address them can significantly impact a child’s long-term health and mobility.
Common injuries and their management
Sprains occur when ligaments are stretched or torn, often due to sudden twists or impacts. In children, the most common site is the ankle. Symptoms typically include pain, swelling, and difficulty walking. Immediate care involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (R.I.C.E.), but it’s essential to consult a podiatrist to assess the severity and prevent future issues.
Fractures or broken bones can result from direct trauma or repetitive stress. They often present with
severe pain, swelling, and bruising. Common fractures in children include those in the metatarsals (foot bones) and the tibia or fibula (ankle bones). X-rays are crucial for diagnosing fractures, and while some may heal with a cast, others may require more intensive treatment.
Prevention and professional care
To prevent these injuries, ensure children wear appropriate footwear that provides adequate support and cushioning. Regularly replacing worn-out shoes and encouraging proper warm-up exercises before
• Behavioural changes, such as increased aggression
Causes of FLUTD
FLUTD can occur in cats of any age but is more common in middle-aged and overweight cats. Causes include:
• Feline Idiopathic Cystitis (FIC): Inflammation of the bladder and urethra without a known cause, a frequent contributor to urinary issues.
• Infections: Bacterial or viral infections can lead to urinary tract infections (UTIs).
• Urinary Crystals or Bladder Stones: These can cause blockages or irritation in the urinary tract.
• Urethral Plugs: Blockages that prevent urine from passing.
• Stress: Environmental or psychological stress can exacerbate urinary problems.
• Cancer: Bladder or urethral cancer, though less common, can also cause FLUTD.
Often, FLUTD is caused by

activities can also reduce injury risk. Additionally, teaching children proper techniques for sports and physical activities can help prevent strain and overuse injuries.
If a child experiences persistent pain, difficulty walking or symptoms that don’t improve with home care, seeking professional podiatric advice is crucial. A podiatrist can provide a comprehensive assessment and a tailored treatment plan, which may include custom-made orthotics or physical therapy. Early intervention and proper management are key to ensuring that children recover fully and continue to enjoy their activities without long-term consequences.
multiple factors, including urine concentration, diet, stress, and other health conditions.
Diagnosis and treatment
If your cat shows symptoms of urinary issues, a veterinarian will take a comprehensive history, perform a physical exam, and collect urine samples for testing. Treatment varies depending on the cause and may include pain relief, increasing water intake, dietary changes, antibiotics, and bladder supplements. In cases of urethral obstruction, emergency unblocking is required.
Preventing urinary problems
To reduce the risk of urinary issues in your cat, consider the following tips:
• Increase water intake: Ensure your cat has access to fresh water, using multiple bowls or a water fountain.
• Reduce stress: Minimise environmental stressors and consider using a pheromone diffuser to calm your cat.
• Feed moisture-rich food: Wet food is beneficial for maintaining urinary health.
• Maintain a clean litter box: Scoop the litter box twice daily and clean it thoroughly once a week, keeping it in a quiet location.
• Keep your cat at a healthy weight: Regular exercise and an enriched environment help prevent urinary issues in overweight cats.
Urinary issues in cats are common but can be serious. By recognising the signs and taking preventive measures, you can help keep your cat healthy. For further advice and treatment, contact the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital on 4736 2027.

IN THE MIRROR with Cassidy Pearce
If there’s one thing in your makeup routine you probably don’t do enough of, it’s washing your brushes. Sure, some people probably do it once every week or two, but when did you last do it? Last month? Last year? Never? Whilst washing your brushes feels like a lot of effort for little reward, not doing so frequently can not only damage the brushes themselves, but can also have a negative impact on your skin.
So, if reading this has reminded you to pick up your brush cleaner
again, or if you’re looking for a new routine, here are my dos and don’ts.
Do:
• Wash your brushes as frequently as you can. It’s recommended to do this weekly, however if you wear makeup less often, this may not be needed.
• Wet the brushes with warm water before applying any soap to loosen makeup residue.
• Apply your soap or cleanser to the bristles. Whilst you can get specific makeup brush cleaners or shampoos, like the MAC Brush Cleaner or the Blend-
ercleanser Solid Lavender Sponge & Brush Cleanser, they’re not completely necessary. I like to use a gentle shampoo, but you can also use antibacterial soap!
• Clean smaller brushes together. Whilst cleaning face brushes may require some elbow grease, small eye brushes or concealer brushes can be washed together to save time.
• Ensure that the brush is totally clean before leaving it to dry. Though it can sometimes take a while, especially for larger or more dense brushes, it’s important to continue swirling it in your palm or on a cleansing mat like the Sigma Spa Brush Cleaning Glove until the water comes out clear – not coloured, milky or soapy.
• After squeezing out the excess water, dry your brushes upside down, or laying flat.
• Leave your brushes an adequate amount of time before using them again. I like to leave mine laying flat overnight with the bristles hanging off the edge of a counter or chair, checking them and reshaping them when I can.
Don’t:
• Use too harsh of a soap when washing your makeup brushes. Though it doesn’t seem like they require much care, brushes can be expensive – you don’t want to ruin them!
• Dry your brushes vertically. Though it may seem easy to clean them up and then throw them right back in your brush holder or case, this is another surefire way to damage the handle and loosen the bristles.
• Be too aggressive when cleaning them. Makeup applies best with clean, soft brushes – not spiky, misshapen ones!
• Dunk your brushes in water completely to clean them. Whilst, of course, it’s OK to get the brush bristles wet, submerging the entire brush can loosen the glue and cause the bristles to fall out.

Each New Moon indicates a shift of gear in a particular area of life. This week the heavens highlight a fresh start involving money, an intimate relationship or trust issues. You’ll feel rather restless, so it’s a good time to travel, experiment and explore. You’ll also be extra curious as you dig up gossip, uncover a secret or start some controversial conversations! However – if you are too blunt and impatient with a loved one – expect some unpleasant blowback.
TAURUS
APRIL 21 TO MAY 21
The New Moon highlights children, teenagers, friendships and leisure activities. There are also opportunities for advancement via connections within your local community, especially if you are proactive. But it will take creative teamwork and sustained effort to turn a lucky break into a long-term success. It’s also time to get some firm direction, as you formulate your personal goals and dreams for the future. Remember – you can’t hit a target if you haven’t got one.
LEO
JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
The Sun (your ruler) and New Moon shine a bright spotlight on financial matters. Lions are drawn to luxury-living, and you’re inclined to buy expensive things that you don’t really need. This week, do your best to avoid being an impulsive binge shopper. The more creatively and proactively you nurture your nest egg, the more it will gradually grow. Sunday’s Sun/Saturn opposition could (temporarily) create difficulties and dent confidence, so pace yourself.
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
The early week New Moon highlights your hopes and wishes zone, so be proactive about setting goals, dreaming dreams, and creating your preferred future. It’s also a good time to fire up an old friendship or work on solving problems in a troubled relationship. Positive changes are coming, as you focus on projects that make your heart sing. Be inspired by Beyonce (who turns 43 on Wednesday), “As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal.”
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
Close relationships and joint ventures are set to improve, as the Sun and New Moon activate your partnership zone. But Tuesdays’ nebulous Mars/Neptune square could temporarily scramble your inner compass and blow you off course, especially involving personal projects and domestic matters. You need to dream inspiring dreams and set longterm goals … and then draw up a detailed plan to follow. Daydreaming will only get you halfway there!
GEMINI
22 TO JUNE 21
The week starts with Mars and Jupiter both jumping through your sign, which boosts Gemini magnetism. And then Mercury and Uranus rev up your tendency to unpredictable behaviour. You’ve got the power to inspire others and transform your own life, so do your best to find appropriate ways to let off steam and choose positive and challenging projects to channel your energy into. Otherwise, you’ll just drive other people crazy with your capricious ways!
VIRGO
AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
The silvery New Moon lights up your sign, so it’s the perfect week to update your wardrobe, change your appearance, launch a project, apply for a job or start a new phase of your life. Personal projects, ambitious work goals and dynamic friendships are also highlighted. On Saturday, too much nervous energy and impatience could disrupt a trip, as Uranus squares your ruler Mercury. And the Sun/Saturn opposition could complicate a relationship on Sunday.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
Have you been dragging your heels at work? Your career is set to improve, as the early week New Moon signals an exciting new chapter. So make the most of any fresh ideas, professional projects or job opportunities that come your way. But the Mercury/Uranus square increases exuberance and decreases patience. So slow down, and be careful you don’t over-indulge, over-exaggerate, over-promise or over-commit, especially involving travel and work.
MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
New Moon week is the ideal time to ditch bad habits and start afresh. It’s a juggle to get everything done but keep calm and don’t lose your cool! You’re unusually focused, but are you focusing on the right things? Work, health, wellbeing, diet and fitness are the main areas where you need to make some overdue changes and adjustments. But – if you are too hasty and hot-headed – you could find yourself in the middle of an argument, an accident, or crisis.
Mars moves into your sign on Thursday, which will help you approach challenges in a proactive way. And the New Moon encourages you to talk through issues with the people around you. Venus is visiting your domestic zone, so it’s time to enjoy home sweet home, as you cocoon in cosy comfort or entertain in low-key style. Your quote for the week is from Virgo philosopher Goethe, “He is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.”
S EPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
Are you frustrated by ongoing problems at work? Mighty Mars is moving through your career zone (from Thursday until November 4) so it’s time to take on challenges with a proactive approach and a courageous attitude. At the moment, fortune definitely favours the bold and the brave! And with Venus (your patron planet) transiting through your sign, (until September 23) it’s also a good week to tap into the well of creativity and inspiration, without and within.
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20
Many Capricorns can expect a challenging week, as your ruler Saturn opposes the Sun. But the Sun and New Moon also activate your education and adventure zone, so start thinking about where you’d like to go travelling in the future. And don’t let anyone dim your curiosity or diminish your dreams! Your motto for the moment is from birthday great, Beyonce, “Your self-worth is determined by you. Don’t depend on someone telling you who you are.”
MAGIC OF MAGENTA
Long a Central Coast favourite, Magenta Shores has recently completed an extensive renovation project, giving the property a luxury makeover with sophistication at the forefront.
What better time then to pack up the car and head about 90 minutes out of Sydney to stay for a few nights.
Nestled along the pristine coastline of the Central Coast, New South Wales, Pullman Magenta Shores Resort has long been revered for its picturesque setting and world-class hospitality. Now, following months of meticulous enhancements, the resort emerges rejuvenated, boasting a seamless blend of modern elegance and coastal charm.
You feel it as soon as you walk into reception, with a welcoming vibe and atmosphere and sashes of class everywhere you look.
After checking in, we headed over to the Shallows Bar for a couple of beverages – a great place to relax after playing golf at the course on site, or maybe even a spot of tennis; or whatever other activity you’ve stumbled across.
Shallows is very much a casual space and also has food options, including pizza.
“THE ACCOMMODATION CERTAINLY EVOKES A SENSE OF TRANQUILLITY AND LUXURY”
We stayed in a three bedroom executive apartment, perfect for a medium-sized family looking to create a base for a few days of relaxation and recreation.
All three bedrooms are upstairs, allowing the downstairs area to be the main hub with a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor area to enjoy a few beverages or some home cooked meals (there’s full oven and stove facilities).
The bedrooms are comfortable and the
master features an impressive ensuite and its own balcony (so make sure you claim that one if you’re heading away for a trip!).
The accommodation certainly evokes a sense of tranquillity and luxury, featuring contemporary furnishings, plush bedding, artworks and complemented by breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.
On night one we headed into The Entrance – just a short five minute drive – for a pub meal. Being so close to both The Entrance and Long Jetty, you’ve got a whole range of dining options for a few nights away, plus a supermarket to stock up on supplies.
Breakfast both mornings was your typical hotel buffet fare, and the pancake machine certainly got a workout from the youngest member of the travelling party.
My wife headed straight to Vie Spa, inviting guests and members of the general public to embark on a journey of relaxation and rejuvenation. Featuring an array of indulgent treatments inspired by traditional wellness practices utilising iKOU and Pevonia products, Vie Spa at Magenta Shores offers a sanc-
tuary where guests can unwind and restore balance to mind, body, and soul. She gave it a strong 10/10.
In the warmer months the lagoon pool is absolutely stunning, but there’s still swim-

ming on offer when the weather is a little cooler – with an indoor heated pool and accompanying steam room.
For dinner we headed to Barretts Restaurant, inside the hotel, where you’ll find an ever-changing, seasonal menu of delicious fare. We enjoyed the cheesy bread and crispy pork belly for entrée, while the Tandoori Chicken Supreme and Moroccan Spiced Lamb Backstrip highlighted the main menu.
Top it off with a couple of cocktails or a bottle of wine, and you’ve got a long, enjoyable dinner all sorted.
And if there’s room, I can certainly recommend the baked cheesecake with yuzu caramel – absolutely delicious.
The best thing about Magenta Shores is that it’s perfect no matter what size your party. If you’re a couple looking for a weekend away, or a large family looking to celebrate with friends and family, everyone is catered for.
Fill your days with a bit of golf or tennis, a swim in the pool or simply relaxing in your apartment. Go for a walk, feed the ducks, ride up to the nearby lighthouse. You certainly won’t be bored.
