round 1,500 proud Wests Tigers members came out in force to Concord Oval on Sunday for the chance to meet their favourite players at the annual Wests Tigers Members Day. Fans were able to get up close and personal with their favourite players and chat to them about 2012 season.

“It’s a great way to thank [members] for their unstinting support throughout the season,” a club spokesperson said.

Fans could chat with Head Coach, Tim Sheens, and NYC Coach, Todd Payten, as well as many of the players from both teams.

The players also shared their time between signing autographs, posing for photographs, running the junior coaching clinic and serving up gelato, popcorn and fairy floss.

Wests Tigers member, Kathy Byrnes Sloan, thanked the club for a great day via Facebook.

“The players were wonderful, so patient with everyone,” she said.

“Had the best day and the boys were fantastic,” said another Wests fan, Tina Wardrope.

The club thanked its members who attended on Sunday for making the day “a very successful event”.

The months roll around very quickly, don’t they, and suddenly it’s time for another column.

Fresh in my mind… The Wiggles have decided it was time for a change of skivvies and Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke went and got married without telling anyone.

In both cases there were a few pot shots.

For the Wiggles, why isn’t the Blue Wiggle Anthony following Murray, Greg and Jeff out the door…

Why did they get rid of Sam earlier this year? The Wiggles have lost their fi zz, their appeal. Will replacements have the same success and so on?

For the new Mr and Mrs Clarke, there were those who were a little miffed that Michael and Kyly got married in private, not in the glare of a magazine or TV deal.

For mine, the Wiggles and the Clarkes got it completely right.

Live your life the way you want to live your life, not the way others think you should live your life.

THE INNER CITY WEEKENDER

an association with Too many people dance to the tune of others. Getting married is not a business deal, it’s one of the truly great moments in life and for goodness sakes who wants dark umbrellas and security guards overwhelming your special day.

None of that for Michael and Kyly... just a ceremony with family and close friends. Th e way it should be.

But at the same time, Michael played it smart. He knew there would be plenty of interest, so he released a series of pictures. Everyone could celebrate their great day! Well done.

And for Th e Wiggles, this day was always coming.

For Murray and Geoff especially: little time with family, weariness and endless travel were some of the catalysts that drove their retirement.

They have more than enough money… it was time to live their lives the way they wanted to.

I remember clearly what life was like on the road for the Wiggles,

having spent a week with them in America for ‘60 Minutes’.

It was relentless. Living in each other’s pockets, moving from city to city, country to country… rolling out the shows, back on the bus or plane and onto the next gig.

It was constant for two decades and yes it made the cast members very comfortable in the dollar stakes.

And it was great fun – I have actually performed with Th e Wiggles and it is a life highlight. In front of about six thousand kids and their mums and dads in Florida, yellow Wiggle Greg hauled me onto the stage to perform hot potato!

For Murray, Geoff, Greg and Michael and Kyly, they are all living their lives the way they want to live their lives and not to the tune of others.

A very good motto for all of us to live by.

Hope to see you for Nine News, Sydney’s number one, nightly at 6pm.

Boarding houses hit nerve

Homelessness NSW CEO has concerns for people living in unlicensed houses, particularly children

BY LOUISE BOURKE

T

he CEO of Homelessness NSW, Gary Moore, continues to be concerned for the residents of Marrickville’s estimated 200-plus unlicensed boarding houses following the fi ndings of the inquest into the deaths of six people at a Livingstone Road hostel between 2009 and 2010.

“There are some good proprietors and managers of these dwellings and some real shockers,” Mr Moore told The Inner City Weekender.

“I do hold fears for the welfare of residents who are both very poor and have mental health issues, or who are elderly or who are sole parents with children.”

A community coalition, including Marrickville Council and Homelessness NSW, says it welcomes the planned reforms to the sector announced by the NSW Government.

“The fact that the reforms will address the standards of both licensed and unlicensed boarding houses demonstrates that the government is committed to tackling the differing, but equally serious, problems,” said Julia Murray from the Make Th is a Home Coalition.

But Mr Moore says more needs to be done to regulate the sector.

“The [governments] should be providing effective fi nancial incentives to owners to upgrade these types of premises… and a registration system should be operated by local councils,” he said.

Boarding House Facts: • There are three licensed boarding houses in the Marrickville LGA, which are registered with the Department of Family and Community Services.

• Council inspects 149 unlicensed boarding houses each year for fi re safety compliance and amenity.

• Council will request more control over the regulation of boarding houses from the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure.

Girl struck by van

Police warn about dangers of listening to music whilst crossing

A

n 18-year old woman who was struck by a van in Marrickville early on Tuesday morning is the latest pedestrian to be involved in a road accident whilst listening to music on a personal device.

The woman was struck by the vehicle on Sydenham Road, near the intersection of Northcote Street, at 12.50am.

Marrickville Police Inspector, Michael Lauricella, said she was listening to an

iPod as she crossed the road.

The woman suff ered serious internal injuries, including a ruptured spleen and broken bones, and was taken to RPA Hospital where she has undergone surgery.

The driver of the Toyota Hi-ace van, a 74-year-old man, underwent mandatory blood and urine testing.

Police say speed was not likely to have been a factor in the accident.

Tuesday’s accident is the

latest in a spate of pedestrian accidents in Sydney this month, prompting police to call a media conference on Tuesday to warn about the dangers of listening to music while crossing busy roads.

Investigators are keen to speak with anyone who may have been in the area at the time and who may have witnessed the incident.

Day care for dementia Governments provide funding to assist dementia patients and their carers Services, Andrew Constance, said it was important to create new facilities for younger dementia suff erers.

“There are more than 5,260 people with dementia in NSW who are younger, and more continue to be diagnosed, so it is important we have purpose-built facilities,” Mr Constance said.

“The Haberfi eld centre will be the 14th of 16 centres to be completed as part of the HACC program.”

ork has begun on a new inner west day care centre for people with dementia, including those who have younger onset dementia.

The facility is being built in Dalhousie Street, Haberfi eld, with $1.3 million in funding from the state and federally-funded Home and Community Care (HACC) program.

dementia services in the area and provide support to people with dementia and their carers through outings, day trips, social activities and nursing and health services.

“These packages will provide a new way for younger people with dementia to plan and live a good life,” Mr Constance said.

The Dalhousie Street facility will be run by Th e Ella Centre, who specialise in dementia care and programs for younger onset dementia sufferers.

At about 6.45pm on Saturday, May 19, an unknown male walked into a Dulwich Hill home through a closed but unlocked front door.

Shortly after, the two victims, a male and a female, noticed the front door was open and while closing it, saw the offender walking down the stairs towards them. Both victims questioned the male, who stated that he thought the house was a Karaoke Bar (the premises still bears a Karaoke sign) before leaving the house.

Soon after, the victims realised their wallets and cigarettes were missing. Police and Fingerprint Officers attended the house and police conducted a patrol to locate the man, but were unsuccessful.

If any member of the public witnessed this incident, please contact Marrickville Police on 9568 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Child grabbed: Robbery at local bus stop

Police are investigating a robbery that occurred next to a bus stop in Petersham on Monday, May 7.

At 3.55pm, an unknown male offender approached the 12-yearold victim from Dulwich Hill who was waiting for a bus. He

put his arm around her throat, demanding her mobile phone. The male snatched the phone from her hand and ran from the scene.

The victim, along with a witness, tried to follow the male but lost sight of him shortly after. Police are conducting further inquiries into the matter. Please contact Marrickville Police on 9568 9299. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Th e man ran down Church Street but after a short foot pursuit he was arrested. Police allege that during a subsequent search, graffiti implements were located.

He was issued with a Field Court Attendance and will appear before Newtown Local Court on June 12. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Big tick for breastfeeding Revised guidelines say breastfeeding is vital to reducing unexpected death in infants

BY EMILY CRANE

B

reastfeeding your baby now forms part of the guidelines to reducing the risk of sudden and unexpected death in infants.

SIDS and Kids have announced revised guidelines to reduce the risk of the unexpected death, including a new recommendation – ‘breastfeed your baby if you can’.

Author of the review and safe sleeping expert, Adjunct Professor Jeanine Young, said consistent fi ndings of studies conducted over the past 15 years show that breastfeeding helps reduce sudden death in infancy.

“An analysis of the results of 18 studies shows that the risk of sudden and unexpected infant death is signifi cantly reduced for mothers who exclusively breastfeed and for a longer duration of breastfeeding,” she said.

While the link between breastfeeding and reducing sudden infant death has been confi rmed, Prof Young says it is just one of six recommendations.

“Factors like not smoking near babies and sleeping babies on their back are equally important ways to signifi cantly reduce the risk,” she said.

The guidelines have been announced ahead of the upcoming 25th anniversary of Red Nose Day on June 25 – the fl agship fundraiser for SIDS and Kids.

SIDS and Kids is an Australian organisation dedicated to saving the lives of children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood.

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT ➤ Marrickville Council’s Library and History Services has been conducting free talks in May for Law Week. Th e talks on basic consumer rights are given in English and Marrickville’s community languages. Th e talks are presented by Marrickville Library and History Services in partnership with The Aged-Care Rights Service.

Bookings are not required.

The two remaining talks are: Arabic: Wednesday, May 30, 10.30am-12pm at Marrickville Library Mandarin: Th ursday, May 31, 10.30am-12pm at Marrickville Library. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ➤ Council is undertaking a Public Domain Study project from mid-2012 to mid-2013 to assist in improving the look and feel of Council-run public spaces such as streets, lanes, footpaths and urban squares like Trevallion Plaza, throughout the Marrickville Council area.

The study will identify public domain issues and opportunities and, assisted by public input and community surveying, it will develop strategies, master plans, guidelines, processes, designs and other policy means for the management and improvement of the public domain.

GreenWay supporters tabled a petition in February to prompt a debate.

Debate scheduled GreenWay is back on the agenda, but only for 16 minutes

I

nner west residents are being urged to attend the debate

by NSW Parliament into the scrapped GreenWay project at Parliament House next Thursday.

The GreenWay is back on the agenda – albeit only for 16 minutes – following the tabling of a 10,500 signature petition in support of the project by the community in February.

Marrickville Mayor, Morris Hanna and Ashfi eld Mayor, Lyall

Kennedy, have appealed to local residents to show their support by turning up to the allocated slot.

“As the petition showed, there is power in numbers,” Cr Hanna said.

“We can and we will see the reversal of this decision to defer the GreenWay.” Cr Kennedy said: “I would encourage people to attend to show your support for the project”.

Community group, Friends of the GreenWay, has also urged parents to

bring their children along.

“The 4.30pm debate kick-off time means that parents would be able to bring their children after school,” a spokesperson said.

“The GreenWay will be a major off-road route for local kids to get to school and a place where they can get fi t while safely exploring the fascinating local environment.”

The debate is scheduled for 4.30pm next Th ursday, May 31 at NSW Parliament House.

➤ Marrickville Council will support the Kiss Goodbye to MS campaign during the month of May to raise money for research into preventing and treating the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

MS is the most common neurological disease aff ecting young Australian adults, with over 21,000 suff erers between the ages of 20-40. As yet, there is no cure.

Council will donate $1,000 towards research about the disease, as well as providing support and services for people with MS. Th e donation represents one dollar for every new diagnosis of MS that is made each year in Australia.

Staff members are wearing red lipstick throughout May to raise awareness of MS.

Cheeky exposure Wear red undies next week for chronic kidney disease

New University of Sydney study is looking for terrible twos.

Terrible toddlers

University study aims to help manage challenging behaviour

D

o you need help taming your terrible toddlers? A University of Sydney study is looking for participants for research into whether parenting programs can effectively help manage challenging behaviours in toddlers.

The study is aimed at the parents of children who show physically aggressive behaviours such as kicking, biting, hitting or pushing and are aged two or three-

years-old.

“Research has found that about 50 per cent of 12month-olds show some form of aggression and this fi gure increases to about 80 per cent by age two,” said Lucy Tully, a researcher in the School of Psychology at the University.

“While physical aggression tends to start declining from about the age four, toddlers who are aggressive more often are at high risk of these behaviours

continuing.

“There is emerging evidence that brief parenting programs can work and that parents prefer them to longer programs but no studies have so far compared a brief and longer format parenting program,” Ms Tully said.

Families must be able to travel to the University of Sydney for initial appointments. Th e researchers are recruiting until September 2012.

C

hronic kidney disease is one of the biggest killers in Australia, so next week people are encouraged to wear red undies to raise awareness of the condition.

‘Red Undies Week’ is an initiative of Kidney Health Australia.

Cheerleader, Caitlin Alderson, will be wearing red

undies next week because she believes that a small action taken by one person can work to benefit many.

“If we can empower other community members to get involved, it will raise awareness and give everyone the opportunity to help out those in need,” she said.

‘Red Undies Week’ is a nation wide initiative that encourages people to wear red undies from Sunday, May 27 until Saturday, June

2, as a “cheeky” way to give exposure to kidney health.

In Australia, about 50 people die from a kidney related disease each day, which according to Kidney Health Australia, makes kidney health all the more important.

The national health campaign is planning to make a big red splash, and ensure that kidney health (and red undies) get the attention they deserve!

Focus on positives Prepare for an upturn

Cautious small business operators are missing out on potential investment opportunities because they worry about the wider global outlook, research suggests. Accounting firm PFK Australia says small business needs to focus on the positives in Australia or they risk scaring off foreign investment.

There seems to be this ongoing economic pessimism and it almost seems to be a self-fulfi lling prophecy.

We’re constantly bombarded with Armageddon-like headlines about the Greece collapse, American debt levels and China’s growth rate, not to mention falling Australian property prices and a share market decline. I’m guilty of it myself – just last week I wrote about the tens of thousands of Aussie small businesses experiencing financial stress.

It’s time to look in the bright side.

Granted that the European economy is a genuine risk, the US has plenty of work to do and China will certainly slow at some point. But property and share values will, as always, move in cycles. Plus business lending channels are reopening in Australia and new ones are being added. Unless we present to foreign economies that we are getting on with business, we’re going to miss opportunities for further investment into the economy from overseas.

Staying Healthy

Susan Garrad

What choice will you make?

Golden rules for food shopping Q. I hate going to the supermarket.

What are your tips to help me make better food choices that will keep me and my family healthy – and be cheaper as well?

Here are my Five Golden Rules for food shopping: 1. Never go food shopping when you are hungry!

Shopping on an empty stomach is a fast way to come home with a trolley full of rubbish. Research has shown that we unconsciously make food choices that are higher in energy, fat and sugar when we shop on an empty stomach. Make sure you feed the kids before you take them too!

2. Take a list and use it! Make a list before leaving home that takes into account what’s already there. Don’t forget to bring it out at the shops and tick off your items as you go. If you do this, you will make less spontaneous poor food choices.

3. Live on the edge! All

supermarkets are designed with the most nutritious and cheapest food on the outer aisles: fruit and veg, dairy, meat, breads. Once you move into the centre you’re in the ‘danger zone’ in terms of packaged (and therefore higher energy, fat, salt and sugar) foods.

4. Switch off your auto-pilot!

Most of us are so habitual about doing the shopping we could do it with our eyes closed! What this means is we may not see the healthier or cheaper food options. Next time you go take a diff erent circuit and take the time to compare products on other shelves.

5. Compare, compare, compare! Not all mueslis, yogurts, fruit juices, breads or just about any other packaged foods were created equal! Get familiar with how to read nutrition panels.

Keeping Fit David Stein A man’s reach should exceed his grasp. Why would we choose to strive for something we are unsure we can ever obtain? And what’s that got to do with a fitness column?

That choice means a lot of different things to diff erent people.

I believe it’s an evolutionary selection process. I think everyone alive today has an in built desire to succeed. Imagine this: A long time ago in our ancient past, our great great something grandmother had a baby when food was scarce, but she chose to keep this baby and do everything she could to provide and care for it. Th e father looked at those two sitting in his cave and knew he had to get some food if they were to survive the winter.

So he made a choice to sharpen a little stick and go out and try to bring down a mammoth with it.

If they had chosen to do nothing they wouldn’t survive the winter and they certainly wouldn’t have offspring to be reading this paper.

That’s the thing with evolution, it doesn’t give out ‘better luck next time’ badges. So if we have made it here, it’s in our DNA to want to try.

Maybe that’s why someone decides

they want to climb Everest, run a marathon, or see how many pushups they can do. Or maybe they want to make the best quilt or learn to sing. But we all feel a need to be good at something, maybe even the best! I think that goes to the soul of what being alive is. Don’t squash it down with excuses or try justifying poor choices.

Right now, it’s our time in the evolutionary line. Sure these days the glow from the fi re might be replaced with the light from the TV.

But the results haven’t changed all that much. We might not starve to death, but we won’t live very well or full lives either. So go out and test yourself. You can’t fi ght instinct, it might be well hidden but it’s there.

There’s something you have always wanted to be better at. How can you get better at it right now and how would you feel making the choice to do that? For the grandparents, the grand kids or yourself. Right now is your turn, so what choice will you make?

You are going to be feeling most unpopular and neglected during the next few weeks. Your anxieties will be high, perhaps you’ve just separated from a relationship/friendship, or your loved ones are preoccupied or living some distance away. It is time to look at how you’ve been treating certain friends and if you’ve argued you should take the higher ground and be prepared to apologise for any wrong doing!

April 21 to May 21

“Love don’t come easy”, as the song says. Well not during June anyhow. It’s not worth trying to get on good terms with your lover this month, because everything you try to say or do will be misconstrued in some way.

Your motives may be in a good place, but your partner will not be in the best of moods. He or she will be more than likely interested in having a fit of the sulks as opposed to giving you the love and reassurance you need!

June 22 to July 22

It is going to be necessary to take a sensitive attitude towards those you work with and to be careful not tread on their egos. Tolerance and patience is going to be called for as everybody is going to be highly stressed. Try not to take other people’s attitudes too personally, keep your nose to the grind stone and chin up. These stressful situations will not be around forever, so remain positive and it is important to look to the future.

Your understanding and tolerance is going to be the key to success in your relationship life and social circle at the moment. Venus retrograde in your own sign is a stress indicator. You’d be wise to build some bridges within a close relationship/friendship, either that or be prepared to let an emotional link drift away... possibly for good!

Communication is the key to happiness, so make sure you use your charm to resolve this situation.

July 23 to August 23

The universe has been testing your inner strengths. Instead of letting life get you down by becoming depressed, extremely moody and irritable, it is important to try to remain strong and positive. If you are travelling you should expect delays and hold ups. And, when dealing with foreigners expect misunderstandings. If handling legal papers be prepared for mix ups – it is for this reason that you should be certain to read everything twice.

August 24 to September 23

Guard against being manipulated by others or agreeing to anything that you are not responsible for when you are not aware of the full facts. Be on guard against those who want to manipulate you for their own well-being, either in connection with money or a relationship matter. Jealousy is going to be in the air at the moment and you need to be careful of playing mind games with other people as it may just back fire on you!

Venus Retrograde In Gemini Squares Mars And Neptune; May 16th-May 28th

September 24 to Oct 23

Your emotions will be strong during the next few weeks as Venus, your ruling planet, is running in retrograde motion. You will find it particularly hard not to over react to situations and it will be extremely difficult to be detached and objective. You may expect your partner to live by one set of rules whilst you yourself live by another. Hooray for the good old double standard. Be wary of over indulging in the good things of life!

scorpio

October 24 to Nov 22

You’d be wise not to start any new work projects during the next few weeks. Instead, you should focus on what is already on your plate. It may be necessary for you to go back over old work. So don’t be in a hurry to complete projects until you are certain that you have crossed the T’s and dotted the I’s. It would also be a good idea to focus on getting fit – this means avoiding calorie laden food and embarking on a regular exercise program!

Nov 23 to Dec 21

It is now time to get your mind into gear concerning the state of your finances. Tasks you’ve been putting off like cancelling useless outstanding orders or ensuring you receive the most advantageous interest from your savings will be tackled with ease in the next few weeks.

There could be a power struggle going on in the coming weeks and this could bring you up against an authority figure or someone who thinks rather a lot of themselves!

Female bosses and co-workers are going to be difficult to deal with throughout the month of June. This will make it difficult for any business dealings that you have on the go. If you have legal procedures happening at the moment those in a position of authority are going to be particularly problematic. No matter how political certain people want to be, nobody can take away your dignity! Trust your own judgements and instincts!

It’s imperative that you take steps to look after your health, as a connection with medical people is on the cards. Do your best to avoid stressful situations and remember that whilst chocolate may taste awesome, it will eventually make you bulge in places you wish it didn’t! There is going to be a truck load of paperwork to deal with and mistakes are most certainly likely, so be certain to read each document carefully before signing!

pisces

February 20 to March 20

Money is the root of all evil, or at least the lack of it is. Instead of trying to keep up with the Jones’ focus on improving your own bank balance. Those unwanted goods sitting in your garage could well be an answer to creating some extra cash flow. If you already have goods for sale then don’t be afraid to compromise on the price especially for a cash deal. It will also be necessary to be tolerant with loved ones during the next few weeks!

MODERN SALESMAN TWIST STRIKING IDEA FOR ART

O

ne of the fi nest plays in the modern cannon, Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’ is the story of a man past his prime who struggles with his failings and the dashed hopes that his sons would achieve more than he has.

The American classic, which won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, is being brought to life in a new production by the Belvoir Theatre Company in June.

The Belvoir production features a talented cast of actors, including Colin Friels as Willy Loman, Patrick Brammall and Hamish Michael as his frustrated sons, Biff and Happy, and Genevieve Lemon as his loyal and kind wife, Linda.

Award-winning director, Simon Stone, and Belvoir’s Artistic Director, Ralph Myers, have opted for a contemporary sound and look with a fresh take on Miller’s famously detailed

The pair wanted to make sure that the art of their peers did not go unnoticed and in-turn came up with this unique concept.

The exhibition, which is currently on display inside a disused warehouse in Sydney, is part of ‘The Rocks Pop-Up’, an initiative of the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority to fi nd creative uses for temporarily vacant buildings.

With limited galleries to exhibit in Sydney, the idea behind /// is to curate exhibitions in makeshift spaces around the city, as well as providing artists with an opportunity to explore diff erent ways in which their work can be displayed.

elcome TV lovers to the fi rst ever ‘Chatter on the Box’ column!

Each week I’ll be watching as much TV as humanly possible so I can then tell you what to watch and what not to watch.

I’ll also provide you with the latest local and international television news, gossip and ratings data. So grab some popcorn, sit back and relax and enjoy ‘Chatter on the Box’…

So let’s get off to a positive start and I must say I’m really enjoying Channel 7’s new mythical drama ‘Once Upon A Time’. The show, which see’s classic fairytale characters living in a modern world, is a little bit tricky to get your head around at fi rst but once you get the gist of how everything is playing out it is thoroughly enjoyable. Catch your favourite storybook characters Tuesdays at 7.30pm.

If you’re a fan of ‘The Amazing Race’ then make sure you look out for the Australian version that hits our screens this Wednesday, May 30 on Channel 7. Eleven teams of racers will travel more than 65,000 kilometres across four continents in the long-awaited second season of the hit reality show, hosted

by Grant Bowler. Th is season includes some international fi rsts including never before seen destinations, Must Vote U-Turns and a controversial new Salvage Pass on the fi rst

Doc Jones and the Lechery Orchestra will perform at the Marrickville Festival.

leg of the Race.

There’s some great news for ‘news junkies’ with Channel 10 set to unleash ‘Ten Newsnight’ hosted by the likeable and professional Hamish Macdonald. At just 31, Hamish has won a swag of big journalism awards during his short career and Ten think he’s the perfect man to front their new late night news hour. The 45-minute show will feature news, interviews, music

performances, social media trends, weather, fi nance and the return of ‘Sports Tonight’.

Catch it 10.30pm weeknights from June 4.

I must say I’m a huge fan of Channel 9’s ‘The Voice’ but ever since they hit the live shows last week I think it’s lost a lot of its individuality that it had in the earlier rounds. The Blind Auditions and The Battle Rounds were fantastic and offered an element to this TV genre that we’d never seen before, but now with these Live Shows,

it just looks like another version of ‘X Factor’ or ‘Idol’.

But it’s bad news for fans of the following telvision shows because they’ve just been axed in the US: ‘Alcatraz’, ‘CSI: Miami’, ‘Breakout Kings’, ‘Flashpoint’, ‘Missing’, ‘Harry’s Law’, ‘Ringer’, ‘The River’, ‘Dog The Bounty Hunter’, ‘Unforgettable’ and ‘A Gifted Man’.

A

ctress and singersongwriter, Joanna Weinberg, returns to the Camelot Lounge on Sunday, May 27 with her acclaimed show, The Piano Diaries.

The story of her life written in music, as opposed to a journal, The Piano Diaries is Weinberg’s intensely personal account of music, art, love, disappointment, escape,

migration, joy, despair and an indomitable belief in the power of music.

The show played to soldout crowds at three Sydney venues last year, while the album is garnering praise around the world.

Featuring Weinberg on keyboard and vocals along with Kate Adams on cello and Blair Greenberg on percussion, audiences can expect funny, fierce,

sexy and sassy musical entertainment that will set toes tapping.

Weinberg’s previous shows include Sinksongs, The Unbearable Lightness of Fleeing and Twelve Shoes as well as the hit musical, Every Single Saturday.

The Piano Diaries featuring Joanna Weinberg is on Sunday, May 27 at the Camelot Lounge, Marrickville.

Harrison is a wellknown and talented performer, best known for ‘Wicked’ and is amongst the

All in all, ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ isn’t a terrible show, but it’s not a great one either.

or years, popular movies have been turned into musicals, with classic stories adapted to the stage with varying degrees of success.

Turning the classic fi lm ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ into a musical was always going to be a risky move. It doesn’t quite have “musical” written all over it, after all.

The world premiere Sydney production is a passable effort, though certainly doesn’t leave you with a whole heap of hope that it’d make it on the bigger stages of Broadway or London.

There’s just something that doesn’t quite work here, and it’s hard to put your fi nger on, though the lack of chemistry between factory girl Paula (Amanda Harrison) and jet pilot in training Zack (Ben Mingay) is unfortunately obvious.

TIGER RUMBLINGS Best performance Troy Dodds of the season

P

lenty were criticising the decision

by Ricky Stuart and the New South Wales selectors in relation to bringing Robbie Farah into the squad. Farah proved all the critics wrong, and had a great game on Wednesday night for the Blues. Farah should have played the full 80 minutes – replacing him mid-way through the second half was the wrong move and Farah has proved that he’s an Origin player who has plenty to offer.

He’ll be retained for Origin II along with the rest of the squad, and I’m confi dent New South Wales will fight back.

New signings

Tigers signs two star forwards for the 2013 season

W

ests Tigers have signed two new star forwards and a talented utility while resigning one of the club’s most exciting young backs.

The club has secured 24year-old South Sydney backrower, Eddy Pettybourne, for the next three years and 23year-old Gold Coast Titans forward, Bodene Th ompson, for the next two years.

Former Penrith utility,

Masada Iosefa, will join Wests immediately for the remainder of this season and beyond, while current NYC winger, David Nofoaluma, has re-signed with the club for a further two years.

“We obviously needed to bolster the back row position with the return to England of international Gareth Ellis at the end of the season,’’ said Wests Tigers CEO, Stephen Humphreys.

“With the experience of over 120 NRL matches between them, Eddy and Bodene will perfectly compliment the good group of young forwards we have coming through our ranks. “... Masada can cover a range of positions and will provide valuable depth to our roster.”

Humphreys said he was pleased to extend David Nofoaluma’s contract.

The Tigers’ victory over the Warriors last weekend was without doubt their best performance of the season. Th e Tigers were down and out twice throughout the contest but fought back to win. Whilst the Tigers have been involved in a whole heap of golden point games this season, and come up with some remarkable wins, the victory over the Warriors was tough, well-fought and impressive.

The Tigers should beat the Cowboys at Campbelltown on Sunday. The Cowboys have a terrible record in Sydney and aren’t used to playing daytime football, so it’s a game they should win. In fact, it’s a big test for the Tigers.

If they don’t put 20 points between them and

ADULT SERVICES

the opposition, something’s very wrong.

Ray Cashmere is the latest player to join the Tigers’ injury ward. Cashmere has suffered a calf injury and will miss Sunday’s clash with the Cowboys, and a couple of matches afterwards.

The Tigers have announced that a couple of England’s legends will join them at a special gala dinner on June 28. Ellery Hanley and Garry Schofield will attend the dinner. Both had stints for Balmain and Wests during their careers. Th e event will be held on Th ursday, June 28 at Curzon Hall. Check out the official Tigers website for details on bookings.

Ray Cashmere, James Tedesco and Matt Groat will be at Gearzone Macarthur on Saturday from 11am. It will be an excellent opportunity to catch up with some great Tigers players and get some autographs and photos.

It was great to see so many Wests Tigers supporters out in force last week for the annual Members Day. The numbers got up to around the 1,500 mark, with plenty of fans on hand to get up close and personal with their favourites players.
