troy.dodds@innercityweekender.com.au

If m y dri ve home from w ork lasts lon ger than one song on my iPod, I know something has gone wrong.

Yes, I am one of the lucky ones who w orks and lives in the same suburb.

Tens of thousands of people, however, travel away travel into the c ity or to the outskirts each and every day to go to work.

I used to do i t myself – my first job as a journo was in North Sydney and I used to c atch the bus from out the f ront of my place in S outh Penrith, then the train to North Sydney and of course, reverse it on the way home.

My mother did it for decades, and my girlfriend still does i t – in fac t, she’s the personal connection to knowing just how bad the rail system can be at times in regar ds to reliabili ty, over-crowding, cleanliness and communication.

This week comes news that there were 98 more peak hour train c ancellations across the rail network in 2012-13 compared to 2011-12.

On the Inner West Line for example, there was a massive 200 per cent increase in peak train cancellations, according to the State Opposition.

27 peak trains were cancelled in 2012-13 on the Inner West Line, compared to just nine train cancellations in peak hour the year before.

Shadow Transport Minister , P enny Sharpe is blaming wha t she sa ys are c uts to the main tenance budget.

There was a 67 percent increase in peak train cancellations

“It is no surprise w e are seein g a massi ve increase in train cancellations when the O’Farrell Government has sacked 450 maintenance workers,” she said.

“Cancellations are no w a regular occ urrence for train commuters and the Transport Minister needs to explain what she is doing to fix the problem.”

I sought that explanation from Transport Minister, Gladys B erejiklian but she was “ away this week” and m y questions w ere instead direc ted to Transport for NSW. “99.6 per cen t of peak ser vices opera ted in the last financ ial year – only four in ev ery 1,000 services w ere c ancelled,” a Transport for NS W spokesperson said.

“Spending on maintenance, infrastructure and investing in brand new rollin g stock is inc reasing, with more than 55 new Waratahs now on the network.”

There’s a few Ministers I feel haven’t quite won me over yet in terms of the way they acted in Opposition two years ago, versus the way they act in Government.

Gladys Berejiklian is one of them.

All the sta tistics in the w orld couldn’t tell y ou what tra velling on the rail netw ork is lik e each and every day.

Ms Berejiklian needs to legitimately try it to understand the greater problems.

Commuter finds artistic inspiration in the mundane trip home from work

BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

N

othing coul d be more borin g than sitting in traffic or a slo w commute on the train on the way to work, right?

Not for Kevin McKay. The St Peters based artist uses si tting in traffic and train rides through the city as inspiration for his next paintings and artworks.

He has been working on a series of urban landscape paintings that document his daily journey through the city.

“I r espond t o p laces t hat c atch m y e ye in passing and over time become familiar landmarks,” Mr McKay said.

What most people tak e for gran ted and consider mundane and boring, Mr McKay uncovers the beauty.

He paints subjects with a sense of history such as an ol d hotel, church, or art - deco sub- station, but also finds inspira tion in

In this da y and ag e commuters are preoccupied w ith other thin gs such as iPods, iPads and soc ial media to see wha t is around them.

“Too often we are so lost in our own concerns, or digital devices, to appreciate the landscape we pass through every day.”

The 48- year- old completed his Masters in Fine Art a t Na tional Art S chool and won a scholarship through the W illiam Fletcher Foundation to study a t The Bri tish School at Rome two years ago.

He said his studies of classical aqueducts in Rome helped him appreciate the beauty to be found closer to home.

His latest works were inspired by Sydenham railwa y sta tion’s archi tecture (pictured left).

“The effec t of ligh t on classic al forms presented an open air c athedral demanding to be painted,” he said of the station.

Pets in apartments and noisy wooden floor boards are all up for discussion as the State Government seeks to change strata and community scheme laws.

The State Government has released details this week of its proposed changes to strata laws after commencing a review by Fair Trading in December 2011.

“Strata touches the lives of millions of people in NSW,” Fair Trading Minister Anthony Roberts said.

“Today, there are more than 72,000 strata schemes in New South Wales, and it is estimated that more than 30 per cent of the state’s population live or work in strata."

A tradition of Remembrance Day is the wearing of a red poppy flower to signify the loss of life and blood shed during armed conflict.

Once known as Armistice Day, after the end of the Second World War, the Australian and British governments changed the name to Remembrance Day. Armistice Day was no longer an appropriate title for a day that would commemorate all war dead.

Wherever you may be on November 11, take a moment to stop and reflect on those who fought for our country.

Resignation backflip: Carmel Tebbutt won't contest the next election After denying rumours days earlier, Tebbutt sets date for her retirement BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

S

peculation was rife some w eeks that the M ember for Marrickv ille Carmel T ebbutt w ould resign from her post, but the controversy came to a head last Sunday when she announced she would not contest the state election in 2015.

Having tol d the Inner Cit y W eekender only days earlier that she would not be resigning f rom her role as Marrickv ille MP, Ms Tebbutt seemingly reversed the dec ision, and made it official on Sunday.

She has written to the Labor Party members in the Marrickville electorate informing them she would not contest the March 2015 elec tion and said she was gra teful to them for their support throughout her long tenure.

“It has been a pri vilege to represen t the people of Marrickville in the NSW Parliament

Marrickville MP, Carmel Tebbutt. and to serve as Deputy Premier,” she said.

Ms Tebbutt said one of her c areer highlights was winning the by-election of 2005 after resigning in that year and was tak en

aback by the support f rom the elec torate.

“It was a hug e honour for the loc al constituents to want me to represent them,” she said.

Over a period of 15 years Ms Tebbutt has held quite a ran ge of portfolio s including Juvenile Justice, Community and Disability Services, Education, Environment and Health.

Amongst her achievements are: • Delivering the benefi ts of Na tional Health Reform to hospitals across New South Wales • A wages agreement for NS W teachers achieved without industrial disputation for the first time in decades.

• An ad ditional $1 billion for chil d pro tection ser vices w ith a new foc us on early intervention.

• Overseeing the introduction of youth justice conferencing.

• Extending the light rail to Dulwich Hill.

Although the Member for Marrickville is retiring she has plans to con tinue being a part of the community.

“Having been a part of this di verse community for such a long time, I want to continue being part of i t and ac tively making contributions in it,” she said.

Ms Tebbutt said she still had a lon g way to go before she bowed out of politics and didn’t consider wha t she migh t pursue after that. Although, she ad ded, “I w ould like to be in volved w ith child and family services or education”.

Wallet stolen whilst woman unloaded groceries from car

Police officer assaulted in brawl at Enmore

On Saturday, November 2, at about 3.40pm a female was unloading groceries from her car. When returning to her car she has observed a male walking away from the car’s location. On checking, the woman has noted that her wallet was no longer in the car.

She immediately followed the male along Corunna Road towards Northumberland Ave, Stanmore. Moments later the male has run off – he was last seen heading towards Stanmore McDonald’s.

The male was described as Caucasian appearance, mid 40’s, with black shoulder length hair wearing a pink T Shirt.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact the Marrickville Local Area Command on 9568 9299.

A man has been charged after allegedly assaulting a police officer during a brawl at Enmore. Shortly after midnight on Sunday, November 3, police from Newtown Local Area Command attended Pemmell Lane, following reports of a brawl.

Upon arrival, police located a number of people fighting and attempted to intervene. During the brawl, a man allegedly punched a male police officer in the face, before further assaulting the officer.

A 34-year-old man was arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station, where he was charged with 'assault police officer in execution of duty cause actual bodily harm'. He was given strict bail conditions to appear at Newtown Local Court on Thursday, November 28.

Police catch driver trying to evade breath test

Warning to residents after spate of theft incidents

About 4.40pm on Sunday, November 3, police were patrolling along Livingstone Road, Marrickville. During this time they observed a vehicle turn suddenly into Pile Street, Marrickville.

Police followed the vehicle and directed the driver to stop. The driver was spoken to by police and subjected to a random breath test. The driver returned a positive reading and was arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station.

Whilst at the station the driver undertook a Breath Analysis and returned a high range reading.

The driver is now due to face Newtown Local Court.

Marrickville Police have been experiencing an increase in houses being broken into where electronic devices, car keys and other personal property that is being left out and visible is being stolen.

Offenders are then using the stolen car keys to steal the home owner’s vehicle from the garage or driveway.

Police suggest home owners ensure all doors and a window are locked; do not leave valuables within sight of windows and doors; and do not leave valuables, particularly car keys, lying on the kitchen bench or on hall stands. Conceal property that may be of value so that it is not an easy target.

Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either: • one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or • a new TV with a built-in digital tuner.

Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to.

Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna Installer to check your antenna and cabling.

If you have any other questions, or to find your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer, visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.

Don’t put it off any longer. Get ready for digital TV today.

products are a great way to see what is available in the market

For the past mon th I have been checking the letter box religiously, every time hopin g that a spec ial package I had been waiting for would be inside; the month-long wait was unbearable.

You may be w ondering why this packag e was so differen t, and so to answer that, we will have to rewind a month to when I first discovered the wonders of the ‘Beauty Box’.

My sister e xcitedly c alled me o ver to the computer after stumbling ac ross a w ebsite claimin g to send y ou fi ve to six beauty samples a month, with every month’s box a surprise.

Of all the thin gs I lo ve in this w orld, samples are in the top 10 – they may be small but they open up a world of cosmetic products that you never would have thought to try.

The idea of bein g sent surprise samples f rom a selec tion of thousands of companies was just too good to turn down so for $19.95 we signed up for our first mon th of B eauty Box goodness.

The brand w e chose, which was both cheap and had g ood feedback, was ‘Lust Have It’ and for the next month, we waited.

This week the wait was over. My sister and I opened the box together and pulled out our samples one by one, testing them as w e w ent. Inside the ( very c ute) box w e had a mixture of makeup, tanning products, skin care and hair products.

We pulled out a sample- sized L e T an W ash Off c an first, spraying it on our arms and mar velling at the na tural colour and the con venience of the produc t – defini tely one tha t we decided we would purchase later.

We then had a look a t a couple of Paula ’s Choice produc ts; Oil Blotting Papers and a full-size E arth Sourced Purely Natural Refreshing Toner. The Inika Vegan Lip Whip in ‘Very Berry’ was ne xt, something tha t I w ould also g o out of m y way to purchase later – the colour was perfect!

Both of us were very excited to discover we had a Femme Fatale Mineral Based Eye Shadow, which proved to be long lasting and finally we opened up the bottle of Klorane Shampoo with Nettle. This was a great purchase and I can’t wait for next month’s box.

Tips for looking after your new puppy

Early detection is vital for pregnant mums

As w e head in to summer , the spik e in new pupp y and ki tten arri vals in to households in our area is startin g to occur. If y ou ha ve recently acquired a puppy or kitten, here are some tips for you to consider.

Nutrition Most dogs complete their gro wing by age one or two years and it is important SAM to consider this when feeding your pet.

KOVAC Puppies and ki ttens need a much Southern Cross higher a mount o f c alcium r elative t o Veterinary Clinic phosphorous in their diet to support 9516 0234 the healthy, normal growth of bones.

60 Princes Hwy, Feeding a w ell- balanced dr y pet St Peters food ( generally supermark et quali ty foods are poorer than those you can buy from a pet store or vet) will see your pet getting the right amount of calcium and phosphorous. In healthy animals, supplementing with milk is usually not necessar y, and an e xcess amount can even cause diarrhoea. If you have got a kitten at home, its especially important to feed a variety of foods to prevent fussiness.

Training By setting the rules from the beginning and performing basic obedience, training your puppy or kitten from early on can be a rewarding experience for y ou and y our pet. F rom the v ery first day, spend 5-10 minutes training your dog to sit on command or cat to come when called.

Socialisation In all the e xcitement of the family pla ying with the new arrival, many people overlook this important area of puppy and kitten development. One w eek after the final vacc ination, it is time to get your pet interacting with as many new environments and other creatures as possible. This w ill help to make them more balanced as they g et older and e xperience fewer behavioural issues such as anxiety and aggression.

Health starts even before birth and a new blood test for preeclampsia, a sev ere pregnanc y complic ation link ed to high blood pressure, could save hundreds of babies’ lives a year.

Findings w ere published in the American Heart Assoc iation Journal w ith researchers say ing a new bedside test c an give a results in 15 minutes and is able to iden tify 96 per cen t of pregnant women at high risk of the condition.

It was developed by British scientists who studied a group of 625 pregnant women from across the UK, 61 per cent of whom were affec ted b y pre- eclampsia. The condi tion c an dama ge the kidneys, li ver and brain and lead to prema ture delivery, low birthweight babies and stillbirths.

“The test is designed to differen tiate w omen w ith pre- eclampsia from those with high blood pressure alone,” Dr Lucy Chappell, senior lec turer in obstetric s at King’s College L ondon, said.

“Current tests for the condition only detect that it is happening rather than predicting it and, by that time, the disease has progressed and has likely already caused organ damage.”

Pre- eclampsia affec ts one in 10 UK pregnanc ies, and between one per cent and two per cent of pregnant women suffer severe symptoms. It usually strikes during the second half of pregnancy, or soon after a baby is born.

Besides high blood pressure, other symptoms include f luid retention, severe headache and v ision problems. In v ery severe c ases, pre-eclampsia may c ause fits that are life-threatening to mother and bab y. E ach year, the condi tion leads to the deaths of around six or sev en women and 1,000 babies in the UK. The team from Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College found that women with low levels of pro tein placental growth factor (PIGF) were very likely to develop pre-eclampsia.

Currently the only cure for severe pre-eclampsia is to deliver the baby, regardless of how advanced the pregnancy is. I hope this new test can reduce that rate.

Album's a new chapter for songwriter Damien Leith fter bursting onto the music scene seven years ago, singer-songwriter Damien Leith has released multiple platinum selling albums including ‘Roy’, a tribute album to Roy Orbison.

Now the ‘Australian Idol’ winner is back

A

ASHLEIGH BERRY

with a new album, ‘ Chapter Seven’, and a national tour, which w ill see him pla y a t the Clarendon Guesthouse in Katoomba.

‘Chapter S even’ marks the first independent album for L eith, who produced most of the album in his o wn studio .

Working independently meant that there was no loomin g deadline, so L eith was able to spend as long as he needed on each song.

“How much time I wan ted to spend on a partic ular song was en tirely in my corner, and even the timeline was up to me as well,” Leith said.

“It just was grea t, it was v ery c reative.

I could spend a lot of time on each song.”

He has teamed up with Social Family Records, an independen t label, to public ise and distribute the album.

A notable e xperience tha t c ame alon g with the new album was the opportuni ty to w ork w ith J oe M elson, who is kno wn for writing Roy Orbison’s ‘Only the Lonely’ and ‘Crying’.

“The two [Joe Melson songs] that are on the album w ere both wri tten v ia Skype,

which is mad. It was over a lot of time, we do about three hour sessions a t a time and some of the songs we worked on for weeks,” Leith said.

“We ha ve about 14 other son gs, which w e’ve written in Nashville on different trips. The good thing with

Joe Melson is this is the first time he ’s released an y son gs since R oy passed away, so it’s a real big honour for me to have these songs on the album.”

Leith has nothing but admiration for Melson, saying that his o wn personal songwriting has impro ved just f rom

spending time with him.

‘Chapter S even’ c an be desc ribed as a positive album, promotin g the idea tha t things will get better, which is the theme throughout the whole album.

“The sound definitely has a much more organic, acoustic sort of sound. I tried to make i t as real as possible all the wa y through. I’ve really tried to g o for a more earthy sort of sound,” Leith said.

“Overall, i t’s qui te an acoustic album, not folky and not stripped back, but just a real acoustic sound. I’ ve tried to mak e it sound as much lik e something that five people could go into a room, sit down with all the g ear and just reproduce the whole lot, so I tried to mak e it as much lik e that as possible.”

This acoustic, posi tive direc tion c an be a ttributed to Damien ’s independen t move, which inspired him to learn new techniques for production.

“I was going online a lot and I was finding out about how to record massive amounts of harmonies and thin gs lik e tha t. Then from learning that I started put ting those into the songs,” he said.

“That is a theme tha t r uns through the album as w ell, big harmon y momen ts, kind of chan ts and tha t sort of big sound that pops in and pops out of the album.”

‘Chapter Seven’ is a vailable to or der online w ith a choice of three packs, which can include a signed copy of the CD. Damien L eith w ill be pla ying a t The Basement in Sydney on Saturday, December 14. Call 9251 2797.

Based almost entirely on a 24 hour period spent in Kyoto’s arts precinct, the ordinary and the mystical overlap in what is intended to be an exploration of contemporary Japan versus the traditional, arcane Japan.

BAYLEIGH REEDY

Following the release of his fourth studio album ‘ The B eginning And The End Of Everything,’ which came in at number seven on the ARIA albums chart, he received a recen t ARIA a ward nomination for the Best Adult Contemporary Release, and a near sold out album tour.

On the ‘L oan Wolf Tour’ Josh will visit major c ities, pla ying his stripped- back solo set a t some of the coun try’s most iconic and intimate venues, finishing the tour in Canberra.

To coinc ide w ith this announcemen t is the release of ‘ The Beginning And The End Of Everything’ title track, another beautiful selection lifted from the record.

Written whilst touring ‘Only Sparrows’, Josh found the writing process for his next album c ame w ith much w elcomed fluidity and ease.

Josh said: “‘The Beginning And The End Of Everything’ is the first song I wrote for the new recor d, when I’d completed i t, I

Mornings are off to a good start Channel Ten’s two new morning programs kicked off this week, ‘Wake Up’ and ‘Studio 10’, and I was somewhat impressed.

Obviously it’s going to take time for people to get used to the new shows but if they both keep pumping out some interesting content then it shouldn’t take long before results are seen across the breakfast market.

Channel Nine are again in my bad books, this time for their unnecessarily long one-hour 6pm News.

Nine made the switch to the one-hour News format a few weeks ago when the Blue Mountains bushfires struck, which was probably a good idea at the time, but more than three weeks later it’s still going, forcing shows like ‘Big Brother’ to play on delay.

With ‘How I Met Your Mother’ finishing up next year, there’s some chatter the hit comedy could produce a spin-off series. It’s been reported that the show would feature a new group of friends and chronicle a female member of the group’s quest to meet her husband.

2UE radio host and Sky News presenter Paul Murray has signed a new long-term deal with the news network. It’s understood Murray will take on a bigger role at Sky News in 2014.

Murray currently hosts the successful ‘Paul Murray Live’ each weeknight.

Foxtel is set to revamp its music channels come December 3. Two new MTV channels, MTV Dance and MTV Music, will replace the outdated MTV Classic, MTV Hits and MTV Live. The new MTV Dance will feature dance, hip hop and RnB while MTV Music will feature pop, rock, urban and alternative.

The ABC is set to air a four-part interview series between Kerry O’Brien and former Prime Minister Paul Keating. The intriguing and insightful interviews are set air weekly from Tuesday, November 12 at 8.30pm. It is understood Keating opens up about a lot of interesting and conroversial topics.

Great fun off the pitch sport

Marrickville Juniors have been bowled over by national cricket stars BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

T

here are two sure signs that summer is on i ts way: squatting flies and the boomin g sound of c icadas. It also means the cricket season is here.

For local team, Marrickville Cricket Club, which boasts 13 teams from under nine years to seniors, and for the first time fielding a team of girls f rom ages nine to 15 in the Sydney Rivers Girls Cricket Association, the fun has been… on the pitch as well as off it too!

Last mon th the Marrickv ille J uniors went alon g to the R yobi Cup ma tch a t Bankstown Oval to watch NSW and Victoria play. They took part in a promotion run

by Cricket NSW that saw 30 of them tak e part in an e xhibition in the mid dle of the ground during the lunch break.

Cricket Club Vice President Antony Sachs said not only was it a great opportunity for the children to show off their skills, but to mix it with the best.

“The chil dren g ot to r ub shoul ders with established in ternationals like Steve Smith, D oug B ollinger and Da ve Warner, and rising talent Fawad Ahmed,” he said.

Marrickville Juniors with Sydney Thunder and SpeedBlitz Blues player Gurinder Sandhu.

But that’s not the end of the fun.

Last Sunday eight chil dren took part in a television commercial for the Sydney Thunder Big B ash league T20 team a t the Sydney Cricket Ground.

President S cott K ennedy said the da y

was an eye opener for them.

“The boys and girls got to see behind the scenes of a telev ision shoot and r ubbed shoulders w ith the S ydney Thunder BBL stars including Thunder and SpeedBlitz Blues fast bo wler Gurinder S andhu,” Mr

Kennedy said.

Mr S achs said the stren gth of the juniors was thanks to support f rom their key sponsor, Sydney Airport.

Marrickville Cricket club plays at Mackey Park and Gough Whitlam Oval, Tempe.

High expectations W-League launch on Monday shows there is plenty of promising talent BASIL NAIMET @ICWJournalist

E

xpectations are high for women’s football after the launch of the W-League in Sydney on Monday.

Now in its sixth season, the W-League promises to showcase an exciting brand of football w ith the ad dition of a number of in ternational players in this year’s competition.

All eight teams were represented at the season launch w ith the tw o S ydney teams confiden t they were in for a good showing this season.

Sydney F C strik er and Y oung Ma tildas U20 ’s captain Chloe L ogarzo, who is pla ying in her third season, said this year will be tougher than last year.

“Last season i t was pret ty har d and i t was a good hi t out, this season sounds lik e i t’s ev en better and so I’m looking forward to it with every team being equal,” she said.

She said the feeling of fans screaming and supporting the team is o verwhelming, and spurs

them on to play better.

“When you walk out on to that field, and you have a c rowd that’s behind y ou and encouraging y ou all the wa y through the game ev en if you’re d oing b ad, t here’s a n a drenalin r ush t o do better,” she said.

There are hopes the w omen’s game w ill be part of the bigger picture to establish soccer as a leading sport in Australia.

“Football is a game for w omen just as much as it is for men. It’s our clear point of difference against all the other footy brands in this country,” F ootball F ederation A ustralia CEO Da vid Gallop said.

Western S ydney Wanderers c aptain H eather Garriock said ha ving pla yed in f ront of lar ge crowds in Europe and Americ a, she was look ing forward to pla ying in f ront of lar ge crowds especially w ith the R ed and Black Bloc in full song and dance.

“I’m challen ging fans to break the recor d which stands at 4,500,” she said.

Garriock will make her first appearance in the W-League since 2010 against Adelaide.

This w eekend’s season opener for the W estern S ydney Wanderers is a t Marconi Stadium against Adelaide United with kick off at 2pm on Sunday.

Then at 3pm on Sunda y, The S ydney FC play Melbourne Victory at Lakeside Stadium.
