Marrickville Festival to take over local streets

arrickville will become party headquarters this Sunday when the annual Marrickville Festival is held, sending our city into a world of fun. Thousands will attend the event on Illawarra Road and Marrickville Road, and will soak up plenty of great entertainment, food and events. Performers of spoken word, poetry, soul, magic and comedy will appear on the ‘War of Words’ stage at the Festival, which kicks off at 11am. The animated Pterodactyl man will kick off the entertainment, and a selection of eclectic local poets and special guests from the monthly spoken word night Bonfi re @ Desire, will then take to the stage. Behind the Front will present Women in Soul Music and Poetics, which features some of the fi nest soul acts in Sydney such as Alphamama, Mirrah Reflects and Lalia Blake. Aregradah from Radio Skid Row’s Black Symbol Show will also DJ some great dub and reggae tunes. Aspiring poets can register on the day for the Australian Poetry Slam, and perform for a chance to win cash prizes and a place in the state fi nal. Be entertained by the 2012 World Cup Poetry Winner, Candy Royalle, as she combines the written word with theatrics and vocal harmonies. The dynamic duo, Bannister & Asixx, mix magic and comedy for a performance the kids will enjoy. Local comedian Seizure Kaiser will also entertain. There’s also live street art from Chris Tamm, as well as roving magicians throughout the day. Mayor of Marrickville, Victor Macri, said the War of Words stage will showcase a host of creative performers. “Our community is home to talented artists, poets, comedians and musicians, and this Festival highlights just a sample of what Marrickville’s creative community has to offer,” Cr Macri said.

ight that’s it. I am not whinging anymore. No complaints about being over tired, working weekends or my football team getting beaten. And I don’t want to hear a single person complain they hate their boss or the kids make them cranky. Because this week I again realised how trivial all of these complaints are. That some people would be happy to be over tired or over worked, even do that dreaded basket of ironing – if it meant they could be healthy. All too often we get swept up in our own hectic lives and forget just how tough life is for some people. How unfair and cruel cancer can be. How a person’s life can literally change with one test result or one shooting pain down their shoulder. Th is week at ‘A

Current Affair’ I met a beautiful, young lady called Natalie who at 33-years of age is battling ovarian cancer for the second time. She beat it five years ago but this time even surgery isn’t an option. The single mum, a police officer of 10 years, showed me that every day of good health should be treated as a privilege not an expectation. Because you just never know when cancer will strike – it is an evil disease that can prey on anyone, no matter their age, gender or fi nancial status. These days cancer seems to be more common and widespread than ever. Everyone you talk to knows at least someone who has been diagnosed with cancer. Th is month I also met three brave ladies who survived breast cancer. Again their courage was something

to be admired. All three wanted to be interviewed not for their own personal gain but to help others. To make fellow women pay attention to their own health and discover if they’re overdue for a medical checkup. Because the other major thing I learnt from talking to these four amazing, inspiring women it’s that early detection makes all the difference. If you do fi nd cancer, in the majority of cases it can be treated if it’s identified early. So I ask you to join me in a tribute to these very brave women. If you’re a woman please make sure your breast examinations and pap smears aren’t overdue. And if they are make an appointment TODAY. And if you’re a man – ask your mother, sister, girlfriend or wife. Because it really can be the difference between life and death.

SW Premier Barry O’Farrell has written to the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, seeking matching Federal funding for the WestConnex motorway project that will ease traffic congestion and create jobs in the inner west. The WestConnex motorway emerged as the key infrastructure project from a report by Infrastructure NSW. The 33 kilometre motorway will link Western Sydney with the airport and the Port Botany precinct, and will include the M4 extension and duplication of the M5 East to King Georges Road. “WestConnex, together with the North West Rail Link, are the two largest transport infrastructure projects in the country,” Mr O’Farrell said. “I call on Julia Gillard and Anthony Albanese to fi nally deliver for Sydney and match the NSW Government commitment of $1.8 billion for WestConnex. “The more federal funding we attract for this project, the lower the toll.” Federal Opposition Leader, Tony Abbott, has already earmarked the project for funding if elected in the next Federal election. “The Federal Government’s own figures show congestion costs NSW around $4 billion per year. If the Federal Government is fair dinkum about jobs, growth improving peoples’ lives, they’ll get on board and fund this project.”

NSW Premier, Barry O’Farrell wants matching Federal funding for the WestConnex motorway.

Thousands join national week of action against “unsafe” coal seam gas mining The movement against coal seam gas is gaining momentum with over 1,000 people joining a rally last weekend at Sydney Park, St Peters, to send a very visual message to the State Government...

CASSANDRA O CONNOR

ver 1,000 protestors took to Sydney Park, St Peters last weekend to express their concerns with coal seam gas mining – sending a very visual message to gas exploration companies and the State Government. Holding bold, yellow ‘Stop Coal Seam Gas’ signs, inner city locals took advantage of the sun and clear skies last Saturday [October 13] to send a potent message in the form a human sign, reading “Stop CSG” that could be seen hundreds of metres above the ground. Event organiser for Stop CSG Sydney, Sandy Thompson, said that a lot of preparation went into organising the human sign, which was a huge success. “We were really pleased with the number of people that turned out to be part of the human sign,” she said. “More and more we are seeing people become aware of the threat of coal seam gas. Originally it started due to the threat in Petersham, but now with coal seam gas threatening Warragamba and really the entire Sydney basin, we are seeing people from all over Sydney expressing their concern.

Human sign protests CSG

Thousands of protestors have rallied against coal seam gas mining, including at Sydney Park, St Peters, last weekend.

“We don’t want to see coal seam gas threatening our water supplies.” Several Marrickville Councillors and local politicians also attended the event. The protest was to kick-start a whole week of national action against coal

seam gas exploration and mining by the Lock the Gate Alliance, an activist group determined to stop coal seam gas mining. “We are looking at evidence that does not show coal seam gas is safe – on the contrary there is a lot of evidence

to suggest that it is very unsafe,” Ms Thompson said. 3,000 people marched against coal seam gas in the NSW coastal town of Murwillumbah last weekend and a human sign will also be made in Bulli on Sunday.

ew gateway signs, maps, way markers and interpretative panels have been installed along the length of the GreenWay to allow for better access and guidance for people using the GreenWay corridor. The signs were funded by the Environmental Trust as part of the GreenWay Sustainability Project and were one of the key community recommendations resulting from the GreenWay Active Transport Strategy. Mayor of Marrickville, Victor Macri, said he supported measures, such as the installation of signage, to ensure the

GreenWay remained highly accessible. “The State Government may have deferred the GreenWay but our communities want to still use the GreenWay route,” Cr Macri said. “The GreenWay connects people, places and the community and is regularly traversed by walkers, cyclists, local students conducting school projects, bush walking and bush care groups.” The GreenWay is a five kilometre green corridor that links the Cooks River to Sydney Harbour at Iron Cove and has been recognised as a key transport ‘missing link’ in the inner west.

Govt thanks carers for their community efforts

hree local carers were among 60 from around the State to be recognised this week for the time and effort they put in to caring for others. Marrickville’s Christina Keramidas was presented with a 2012 Local Carers Award Certificate by MP, Carmel Tebbutt, at a special morning tea on Monday. Ms Tebbutt said Ms Keramidas, who cares for her adult son, John, was one of the “quiet achievers” in

our community and deserved to be recognised by such an award. “Carers make a vital social and economic contribution to our society,” Ms Tebbutt said. “[They] often do not receive recognition for their many hours of care and support and the valuable role they play.” Two other women – Sia Stratikopoulos and Pilar Perez – were also presented with Local Carers Award Nominee Certificates.

Mrs Perez, 80, cares for her son, Alfonzo, who lives alone and suffers from Parkinson’s disease and has an intellectual disability.

pensioners – any cuts to jobs will result in more pensioners waiting longer in line for treatment,” Mr Krausert said. According to Health Minister, Jillian Skinner: “there is $2.2 billion of efficiency savings which will be rolled over and delivered into more front-line services”. But the NSW Opposition is adamant that the savings will be to the detriment of front-line service provision. “Barry O’Farrell has confi rmed doctors could face the axe under his $3 billion cut to hospitals,” Shadow Minister for Health, Dr Andrew McDonald said.

Unscrupulous roof restoration salespeople have been telling unsuspecting homeowners that they need a full roof restoration (clean, repair, repoint, seal, and paint) when in many cases all that they need is a simple repair. This has been going on for years but in recent times has reached epidemic levels. Here’s what typically happens... A telemarketer or door-to-door canvasser offers you a free roof inspection. Sounds like good idea right...? It is a good idea unless the roof inspector (usually a salesperson) does what unfortunately happens in many of these instances: he or she will grossly exaggerate the problems and insist that you really need a full roof restoration when perhaps you don’t. Now there are many instances where a roof restoration is beneficial. But there are also many instances where all you may need is simple roof repair. Local company Reliance Roof Restoration offer a free roof safety inspection where you get the option of actually seeing your roof close up. Any problems are actually pointed out to you. That way, you can be certain that any problems they advise you of are real and not made up or exaggerated. You can either accompany the inspector on the roof, or if you’re unable to do that, you’ll be shown photos taken on a high resolution digital camera. If your roof is fine and needs no work at all, then Reliance will advise you of that. If all that you need is a small repair, then

Anti-carbon tax protestors caused controversy in Marrickville last year.

“Not mainstream”

Albanese claims rally behaviour was offensive

t was a controversial rally over the carbon tax, but for all the wrong reasons. When 300 anti-carbon tax protestors descended on MP for Grayndler, Anthony Albanese’s office on September 1 of last year, Marrickville Road came to a standstill and police called in to control the situation. Over a year later and the carbon tax now implemented,

Mr Albanese yesterday said that there was “nothing mainstream” about the anti-carbon tax demonstration. “The demonstration required significant Australian Federal Police resources and was characterised by jostling and placards depicting the Prime Minister as a dog, another depicting the Prime Minister ‘hogtied’ and slogans such as

‘Tolerance is our Demise’,” he said. “A coffi n was given prominence at the front of the activities. There was nothing “mainstream” about this demonstration.” Mr Albanese was responding to comments from Liberal MP, Sophie Mirabella, that Labor Party members are unused to “mainstream Australians” protesting.

WEEKLY WINE by David Ellis

Good for those who wait

eter Logan reckons you shouldn’t drink his 2011 Logan Chardonnay from Orange in NSW’s cold-climate centralwest. Rather, he suggests you stock-up the cellar and watch your investment develop wonderfully. “In two years this 2011 will open nicely to reveal savoury, spicy and nutty aromas vying for attention with the primary fruit. In 10 years you’ll find a wonderfully textured wine with a complex mix of spices, nuts, dried fruits and citrus peel and a long finish,” he said. And after that – well, it’ll simply develop even more-so until at least 2027 or beyond. And he should know; Logan Wines’ made their first Chardonnay back in 1997 and are now one of the longestrunning Chardonnay makers in the Orange region, with Peter himself somewhat of an authority on what to expect from cellaring cold-climate examples of this varietal. If you can’t resist the temptation to put a bottle or three, or even a case or three away at the price, open it now and take-in the pear, orange rind and cashew aromas, lovely white peach and grapefruit flavours, and its wonderfully long mineral finish, and enjoy with creamy seafood dishes. Terrific value for $25. One for lunch: Western Australia’s

Amberley Estate sources fruit from across that State for its popular Merlots as demand ever increases for this varietal, and one worth having a look at is their excitingly vibrant 2011. Winemaker Lance Parkin has brought out the best of the fruit, this wine having plenty of typically Merlot rich ripe plum and juicy raspberry flavours supported by firm tannins. It’s a wine to match-up with venison or game dishes, or to enjoy with a good sirloin or scotch fillet for just $18.99.

Worried about acne Q. I get outbreaks of pimples before my period. I’ve tried all sorts of skincare products but nothing helps. What else can I do? A. No cream will fi x acne. The underlying causes need to be addressed before you will get long lasting results. In your case, you may have a hormonal imbalance which is causing you to get pimples every month. The current theory is that acne is caused by an increase in the potent male hormone dihydrotestosterone, which is derived from testosterone. Excessive levels of insulin-like growth factor is also emerging as a major cause of acne. Eating dairy products can increase this hormone in the blood. Here’s some dietary advice which will help: • Follow an alkaline diet by eating more fruit and vegetables and reducing animal products, grains, cereals and refi ned carbohyrdrates and sugars. • Go dairy free • Eat more fibre • Eat more foods containing Omega 3 fatty acids such as fi sh and seafood • Cut down coffee, tea, alcohol, fried foods, saturated fats, trans-fatty acids, preservatives, colours and flavours Taking anti-inflammatory and blood cleansing herbal medicines can help such as Echinacea, Calendula, Burdock and Yellow Dock.

KEEPING FIT by David Stein

Important message for vegetarians

The herb Chaste Tree is also very important in your case as it will help balance your hormones. Studies have shown zinc to be beneficial in treating acne and there is also good evidence for Vitamin A as well.

his week, Andrew Chidgey has written in, so I’m going to let him take over the reins...

In the magnificent city of Sydney we are fortunate enough to be more than spoilt for choice when it comes to good food. So how can it be that so many people are displaying symptoms of nutritional deficiencies similar to those seen in third world nations? Take protein for example, it is one of the most basic dietary requirements of humans and even though protein is readily available in large quantities we are still seeing people suffer from protein deficiencies. Protein deficiency can be a very serious issue and is associated with millions of deaths every year. But this is no need for alarm because we have many good sources of protein. For some people that might be a big juicy steak or a delicious piece of chicken. But what if you’re a vegan or vegetarian? They know just how hard it can be to fi nd good sources of non-meat based protein in a large enough volume to support your daily requirements. Vegetarians can receive all their daily protein needs from plants, although it can often be a less dense or incomplete source of protein than that

sourced from meat. Meaning that as a vegetarian, you need to consume more protein rich plants to receive the same amount of complete protein. Because of this vegetarians can be more likely to suffer from protein and also vitamin B12 deficiencies, however not all vegetarians are protein deficient. However those with an unbalanced diet that doesn’t include enough plant protein often are. Most people with protein deficiencies won’t even recognise it as being an issue because the symptoms of protein deficiency are similar to many other ailments. So what are the symptoms of being protein deficient? Weight loss, nausea and slow healing wounds may be signs that you are protein deficient. And if having skin rashes, thinning hair, feeling weak and lacking energy doesn’t appeal to you maybe you should be eating more protein. So if you are a vegetarian and are experiencing any of the issues above you may need to review your nutritional intake.

Life & Style

STAYING HEALTHY

Thanks Andrew. One person definitely without a protein deficiency is Thor Jensen, a local training out of Alpha gym competing in the Mr Australia bodybuilding competition on the weekend. Good luck Thor hope all the hard training pays off !

ustralia’s favourite, dimpled ‘X-Factor’ winner, Reece Mastin, today releases his second album ‘Beautiful Nightmare’. Mastin burst onto the scene last year with a winning performance on popular Channel 7 talent show ‘X Factor’, under the tutelage of celebrity mentor Guy Sebastian, and he’s been charming Aussie fans ever since. ‘Beautiful Nightmare’ features

Foreigner, Bon Jovi, REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Whitesnake and more. Drawing on a similar storyline that fuelled the likes of ‘Coyote Ugly’ and ‘Burlesque’, ‘Rock of Ages’ rehashes the “small-town girl trying to make it in the big city” concept, with similar results to its predecessors. The performances by Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin and Catherine ZetaJones are surprisingly good.

Overall, ‘Rock of Ages’ is more of a karaoke piece for its stars – but still delivers buckets of fun.

15 original tracks, including chart-topper ‘Shout it Out’ as well as fan favourites ‘Shut Up and Kiss Me’ and ‘Rock Star’. Following the success of his selftitled first album, which debuted at number two on the ARIA charts, Mastin’s second offering has the potential to be even more popular. Collaborating with Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, and Michael Gerrard (who co-wrote Kelly

Clarkson’s hit song ‘Breakaway’) on ‘Beautiful Nightmare’, Mastin demonstrates his ability to weave in and out of genres. ‘Beautiful Nightmare’ encompasses rock, pop, and even a little bit of punk.

hen she starred in ‘Wicked’ as Glinda a few years ago, many in Australia said it was the role that Lucy Durack was born to play. Perhaps such roles do indeed come around twice, because Durack delivers a knockout performance in ‘Legally Blonde’ as Elle Woods, a role that it would be hard to imagine any other Australian female theatre performer playing. For those who’ve seen the film, the storyline is much the same on stage, except, of course, that there’s plenty of songs thrown in. Party girl Elle, whose biggest concern in life is what dress she’s planning to wear on the weekend or if her lipstick is looking as perfect as it should, loses her boyfriend Warner, played by the enigmatic Rob Mills, who has emerged as a quality theatre talent in recent years despite coming through the often frowned upon world of reality television. In an effort to win him back, Elle decides to become “serious”, and switches cocktails for books, finding her way to Harvard University alongside her beau. What ensues is Elle’s hilarious efforts to win Warner back, and her emergence as a totally different person to the one she was at home. As her “serious” side kicks in, she quickly realises that perhaps Warner wasn’t what she wanted after all. ‘Legally Blonde’ is far from Shakespeare. It should never be looked at as serious theatre with hidden messages, but simply a fun night out with plenty of laughs.

Lucy Durack puts together a stellar performance in ‘Legally Blonde’.

The best thing about that is, that the cast knows the deal. They don’t take it too seriously, they know what it is and that’s an important element in any show that requires its audience to feel relaxed and comfortable. Durack is superb, she is barely off the stage and delivers not only vocally, but also in the high-energy dance numbers, hardly what she’s known for.

And for those blokes getting dragged along by their partners, it doesn’t hurt that she’s stunningly beautiful, either. Mills, too, is a highlight, he struggled in some of his earlier theatre roles to be all that convincing but this is his best effort to date, and he bounces off Durack well. But the show is almost stolen by a well known Australian on her major theatre debut in Erika Heynatz.

Far from the traditional TV star that has been thrown into the show for ticket sales, Heynatz is brilliant and delivers a knockout performance, particularly in the second act. ‘Legally Blonde’ has always had first act issues, and obviously nothing is different here, but it rises in the second act to become the feel-good hit of the year. It’s like, cool, you know. - Troy Dodds

Wicked Women In this kitschy new exhibition, artist Rosemary Valadon paints women inspired by artwork of the pulp fiction era.

Wicked Women opens this Saturday and runs through to April 28 at the Justice and Police Museum.

Marrickville West Primary students take a swing out on the green NATHAN TAYLOR

oughly 60 enthusiastic kids from Marrickville West Primary School unleashed their inner Tiger Woods on Monday when they took part in a golf skills day at the Marrickville Golf Club. The all-day program was put together by the Jack Newton Golf Foundation, who are responsible for encouraging primary school aged children to develop their golfi ng skills and interest in the lucrative sport. Lyndall Hough, director of Marrickville Golf Club, said it was a wonderful event and refreshing to see so many kids interested in golf. “Our aim was to get as many young kids as possible with a club in their hand and interested in golf,” she said. “It was great to see the kids improving right throughout the day. There was a lot of enthusiasm with plenty of kids asking their parents if they could come back and do it again.” During the day the Year Five and Year Six students participated in four skills-based activities including putting, chipping, driving and a three-round mini game. They were given constructive advice by professional golfers. Kids received points based on their efforts in each activity with the top three placed male and female students receiving gift packs while others took home participation certificates.

ydney FC’s Youth team has produced a remarkable comeback to qualify for the fi nal stages of the Vietnam International Youth tournament in Pleiku. The Sky Blues defeated Laos Under 21’s 2-1 with a goal in the fi nal minutes of the match, which was played earlier this week. Sydney began the stronger of the two sides with Alec Urosevski causing problems for Laos’ defence. Winger, Tom Slater, was next to threaten, beating two men on the left and producing a dangerous cross that the centre half cleared under the nose of frontman, Nikola Taneski. It was all Sydney, but against the run of play, Laos scored 26 minutes in. After the second half got off to a slow start, Luke Clifford did well down the left wing, with his cross met perfectly on the volley by 17-year-old Christopher Naumoff, who drilled the ball into the bottom corner. With five minutes remaining, a fi ngertip save from Ryan Norval kept Sydney level and then with two minutes on the clock, Naumoff delivered a free kick from the right, which Josh MacDonald headed home from close range to seal the victory. Sydney FC will play a semi-fi nal match tonight, and if they are successful will head into the fi nal on Sunday evening.
