Special day for Robert as he tops Australia Day honours EMILY CRANE
W
hen Robert Walsh retired from the NSW Police Force after 32 years, he decided to dedicate his life to helping others. He helped lobby the NSW Police Commissioner’s office in 2006 to form the Police Post Trauma Support Group (PPTSG) in a bid to support officers suff ering from trauma, anxiety and depression. “Police are generally conservative and when they get sick from trauma it’s even harder to open up,” Mr Walsh said. “As part of the support group, it is an absolute privilege for me to be able to talk to them, I can rely on my experience as an officer to help them deal with certain things.” Penrith City Council paid tribute to Mr Walsh’s tireless efforts with the support group on Tuesday night when he was named Penrith Citizen of the Year. He was joined by the Penrith Young Citizen of the Year, Natasha Duarte, and Local Appreciation Award recipients Danielle Steele, Shirley Satur and Jim Roche. The award recipients were nominated by their friends, family and peers as outstanding citizens who have made a significant contribution in the local area. “I didn’t get involved with the support group to be recognised in this way, so it was a complete shock to hear I had received the award,” Mr Walsh said. “I like working in the background so when I was getting my photo taken on Tuesday it was all new to me. But is does beat people throwing cans and rocks at me like when I used to tell people to move on from the cricket pitch.” Penrith Mayor, Greg Davies, said: “Th is year’s award recipients are most deserving of recognition and serve as role models for our city.” More Australia Day honours: Page 3.

National recognition for local ladies whose help for those in need is invaluable Many proud Australians were honoured on Australia Day for their achievements in communities across the nation. Amongst them were two local ladies who for many years have sacrifi ced their own time to make the lives of others a little brighter...

T
he Penrith Community Kitchen is a cornerstone of the local community, providing food and friendship for the less fortunate. Th is year, Australia Day Honours have been awarded to the founding members of the Kitchen, Cathy Craig and June Woolard, who volunteered their time to start the kitchen at the beginning of 1994 and who are still involved in its daily operations today. “In 1993 around Christmas time there was an article published in one of the local papers about the Uniting Church, calling for volunteers to help start a soup kitchen. It was at the fi rst meeting for the volunteers that I met June,” said Ms Craig. “We spent the fi rst six months cleaning the kitchen, doing odd jobs to get it ready. “I had children who were getting older and June and I both wanted to volunteer a day or two per week but in December 1996 the kitchen was closed. “We found ourselves fighting to fi nd new funding and that was when John Martin of the Uniting Church Penrith stepped in. With Council funding we again set about cleaning out a new premises and by 1998 we were up and running again.” Though not in its original location, the Penrith Community Kitchen has since 1998 served meals with a friendly smile to the homeless, struggling, or simply lonely.
“June and I would not only run the kitchen together but we would also do cooking for fetes, community events, cake stalls at schools... so it was defi nitely hard yakka in the fi rst 10 years!” Ms Craig said. “It is strange to think back that some of the 14 and 15-year-old young fellows who were with us right from the beginning still visit the kitchen today. I guess we both felt like mother figures to them although now they are in their thirties!” Ms Woolard retired from the kitchen in 2008 but is still a member of the Committee and Ms Craig still works there three times per week. “I get a lot out of it, there are such nice people there and a lovely bunch of ladies who volunteer their time to keep the kitchen running,” Ms Woolard said. “Though it is diffi cult for me to work in the kitchen these days I love being involved on the committee and am so proud of all the volunteers that make the kitchen possible.” Ms Craig and Ms Woolard were both ecstatic when they received news that they had been nominated for the Australia Day honours. “I put the letter away so that my kids and grandkids would be able to see it, the nomination was just such a wonderful surprise. Then to receive a confi rmation I was just so grateful,” Ms Craig said. “It means so much to receive this recognition,” Ms Woolard added. “I was going to frame the letter of nomination let alone the excitement of when I was informed I had been successful.”

It’s not something he thought up overnight and credit must be given for his dedication to turning around a problem gambling issue that certainly does exist in Australian pubs and clubs when it comes to the pokies. While Wilkie is the loser in this battle, there’s thousands losing a lot more than political points in pubs and clubs in Penrith this evening. They are the real losers, and while mandatory pre-commitment was a flawed concept, the government should not lose sight of poker machine reform. The clubs still have many questions to answer. As far as Mr Wilkie’s future is concerned and whether or not the dumping of the proposed legislation will ultimately rock the Gillard Government, consider this: Mr Wilkie, and the other independents for that matter, need Julia Gillard as much as she needs them. After all, at the next election, some of the independents will almost certainly lose their seats given their performance thus far and the circus they put us through after we went to the polls in 2010. An early election would only terminate their political careers earlier than anticipated. That’s why you’ll see this minority government see out its term, and that’s why the independents won’t rock the boat too much. The word independent does not eliminate the term politically savvy from the dictionary. Of course, much has been said about Ms Gillard breaking yet another promise. But there are times when breaking a promise has to be ruled as okay, particularly when the weight of public pressure is against you. Tony Abbott and the Opposition will pounce on this, and deservedly so, as Ms Gillard should never have committed to the proposal in the fi rst place. But one can’t mock another too harshly for coming to their senses. On the surface, the debacle of the poker machine issue, combined with the carbon tax and so many others, is enough for the Australian public, which was deadlocked at the last election, to sway Tony Abbott’s way. But the public may also give credit to Ms Gillard for backing down from a policy that was simply never going to work.

he clubs have won the battle of the pokies, but Julia Gillard has had a victory too, though not that many people are willing to give her credit for it nor acknowledge it. While a 12-month trial of mandatory pre-commitment on poker machines will now occur instead of the introduction of the reform completely, you can bet your bottom dollar that the concept is dead and buried. The current Labor government, and no other future government for that matter, would dare take on the clubs in that way again. The campaign from clubs to specifically target local MPs in their battle against mandatory precommitment was always going to ensure they won in the end. Quite simply, passing the legislation in May as promised would have been the fi nal nail in an already damaged political coffi n for Julia Gillard. Key western Sydney MPs, including Lindsay’s David Bradbury, would have lost their seats. They still may – the impact of the damage already done by this issue, and the many others floating around, is still one for the voters of tomorrow to decide. But in sending Andrew Wilkie off to the corner crying because he didn’t get the lolly he wanted, Ms Gillard may have just saved several key seats at the next election. And while it has reduced Labor’s majority from two to one, the fact that any breakdown of the government before the next election is unlikely means that it’s all about the next scheduled poll. There’s every chance Labor will win Mr Wilkie’s Tasmanian seat at the next election anyway, so the need for his support was only ever going to be temporary. Labor was always going to back down from pokie reform in terms of mandatory pre-commitment not only because it was a dangerous and untested policy but because Mr Wilkie’s support, while important in the current minority set-up, is not something needed forever. He does not have a stranglehold on his seat and can certainly be beaten. Mr Wilkie is clearly passionate about poker machine reform.

here will be less choice but higher prices at the petrol pump come July this year, with regular unleaded petrol to be replaced with ethanol blends or E10, which is already currently available. In 2009, the then state Labor Government legislated the Biofuel (Ethanol Content) Amendment Act 2009, which requires all regular grade unleaded petrol to be E10 from July 1, 2012. Premium octane 95 and 98 will still be available at the bowser. Th is week, NSW Premier, Barry O’Farrell, confi rmed that the ban on regular unleaded petrol would come into effect, despite recent advice from Energy Minister, Chris Hartcher and the ACCC. “At the end of the day government is paid to make decisions that are in the best interest of the public and we believe that this policy is and that’s why the decision was made,” Mr O’Farrell said. But Opposition Leader, John Robertson, is calling for the ban to be delayed a further 12 months. “The Premier’s decision to ban
unleaded petrol will see up to 746,000 motorists and a further 92,000 motorcyclists pay an extra $500 per year at the petrol pump,” he said. But for local engine reconditioner, Ed Spagnol of Edmargs Engine Reconditioning, the cost to families will be greater than rising petrol prices. “Many lawn mower and wiper-snipper manufacturers say that the warranty will be void if E10 is used instead of regular unleaded which means families and landscapers will have a significant cost added to yearly bills as the government is forcing them to use premium petrol,” Mr Spagnol said. For cars manufactured prior to 2006, the situation is not much brighter. “Running E10 is like putting ball bearings through your motor, it can melt pistons, destroy head gaskets – the number of head gaskets that have been damaged by E10 has increased over 100 per cent,” Mr Spagnol said. “There will be people leaving their cars on the street because mechanics are not going to be able to offer warranties to cover E10 damage.” What’s your view?

No more fast food
I was disappointed to read about the purchase of land by McDonald’s in Orchard Hills (McLand, Western Weekender January 20). I am a South Penrith local and have enjoyed the uniqueness of this area for many years, recently, by jogging and cycling through its rambling hills and laneways. Th e building of a fast food outlet in the area is a really poor outcome and should be reviewed by Penrith Council. Why does Penrith need yet another one of these food outlets that does not provide anything for our community? Your article suggested benefits for local business but, at what cost? This outlet will only provide a continuation of the current problems we see in society, obesity, environmental pollution, traffi c problems and the loss of food culture. Th e biggest joke is that this fl agship for poor food is going right next door to one the few fresh food producing areas in Sydney. Is it McDonald’s plan to distract people from the great fresh produce that is available on our doorsteps, by yet more tasteless and depressing offerings? Th e people of Penrith deserve much better than this, and additions such as this do nothing for our city. A stronger will and sense of community is needed when considering applications by this fast food monster. Isn’t 11 outlets enough?

Thanks to Penrith locals
I am writing to thank local residents of Penrith for their tremendous support of the 2011 Kmart Wishing Tree Appeal. Australia’s largest gift appeal has again provided much needed Christmas cheer with more than 448,972 gifts distributed to people in need across the country with Kmart Penrith contributing 5,019 of these. Without the generous support of Penrith residents this may not have been possible. So once again I’d like to thank you for your continuing support of this great and much loved Christmas tradition. Guy Russo Managing Director, Kmart . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Loved my visit to Penrith

I
have a friend who’s a problem gambler. He’s one of the nicest blokes you will meet – charismatic, intelligent, and good at his job. But when it comes to punting, the intelligence and any other sense of logic that he possesses fl ies out the window. He spends money he doesn’t have. He owes me money. He owes a lot of people money. He’s had professional counseling, and God knows his mates have tried everything to help him out over the years as well. But the problem we have is actually understanding why he doesn’t just stop when he’s lost hundreds. He keeps digging that hole. And digging. He digs so far he pretty much surfaces in China. It makes no sense to me. But at the moment there’s only one thing more confusing and that’s why there’s so much fuss about the pokie reforms touted by the Federal Government. For some reason in Australia, we absolutely love the pokies – one report claims 20 per cent of the world’s poker machines are in our humble country – only the 53rd most populated in the world. We pour a staggering $12 billion into pokies every year. Surely anything that results in people forfeiting less of their hard money is a
good result. It’s money that they could (and should) be spending on their children instead, and it’s money that in many instances they can’t aff ord to lose. Much of the reason there is such opposition to the reforms is because of a staggering campaign of misinformation. Contrary to some claims, no one is trying to stop people from gambling. Instead the idea is that people decide before they begin gambling how much money they are willing to forfeit. You choose how much you lose. Simple. How anyone can argue that is a bad idea is truly staggering. I agree that these days governments seem to be making so many rules you can barely leave your house without receiving five fines and a suspended jail term. I was debating this issue with a friend the other day, and they said “you can’t legislate against stupidity”. That’s probably a good thing because if you could then our jails would be overfl owing! But we do need to legislate to protect the most vulnerable members of society. I’m not saying ban gambling, but certainly limit the damage that can be done to society. It’s time we stopped listening to the scare campaigns, started analyzing the facts, and took a mature decision that will help so many members of society.

Blazes may have been deliberately lit, police say CASSANDRA O CONNOR
F
amily owned business, Better Drums, is the subject of ongoing police investigations following two fi res in as many weeks at the St Marys manufacturer. On Monday, January 16 at roughly 1.45am local police and fi re brigades were called to the Christie Street business, which was found to be alight in the office area. Then, on Monday, January 23, police and fi re brigades were again called to the business at 12.30am after reports that the factory space was alight. It took roughly five hours for the fi re to be brought under control and Christie Street was in lockdown for a number of hours while detectives set up a crime scene. Police have set up Strikeforce Trentwood to uncover whether the fi res at the industrial storage dealer were intentionally lit. Crime Manager of St Marys Police, Brad Element, said initial interviews with business owner, Eddie Osman, had not produced any leads on the cause or possible motive of the fi re in the event of an arson attack. “We have spoken to the owner and have not been able to establish a possible motive for the fi re or its cause,” Mr Element said. “Whilst we are waiting on forensic evidence it is not possible to conclude whether the two fi res are related, however, the incidence of having two fi res in the same location is obviously of great interest
POLICE AND FIREFIGHTERS AT THE SCENE OF THE MOST RECENT FIRE. PHOTO: KIEREN TILLY
to us. “My understanding is that the fi rst fi re damaged the office of the building, but the second fi re was in the factory floor and consequently caused serious damage to the entire premises.” The fi re also caused drama for local business owner, Ken Dean, whose Better Springs premises is located opposite the torched Better Drums business. “It was about 12.30 or 1am when I received a call from the cops saying my business was on fi re,” Mr Dean said.
“I got to the business as quick as I could and was relieved to fi nd I still had a job. It was a case of mistaken identity as the businesses are located near to each other but are not related in any way. “When I got there at around 1am you could see the flames coming through the roof so it looked very serious.” St Marys Police are urging anyone with information about the circumstances surrounding either of the fi res at the local business to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
T
he NSW Office of Water has advised water users to cease pumping water from South Creek at St Marys due to contamination. South Creek became contaminated following a fi re in an adjacent factory in the early hours of Monday morning. “All licensed and riparian water users are advised to cease pumping from South Creek at St Marys, located downstream from Dunheved Golf Club to the Hawkesbury River,” said NSW Commissioner for Water, David Harriss. The NSW Office of Water is taking a precautionary approach to inform about 50 surface water licence holders. In addition, people who utilise water from South Creek downstream from the golf club are advised to cease pumping until further notice. The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) was on site on Monday assisting Fire and Rescue NSW to contain runoff from the site. Th is contained runoff has been extracted from the bunded area and taken away for treatment. “Investigations are currently being conducted by the EPA to determine the level and extent of the contamination,” Mr Harriss said. “The NSW Office of Water will advise water users when the creek is safe to use.” Licence water holders can contact the NSW Office of Water on 1800 353 104, while information on pollution can be obtained via the EPA Environment Line on 131 555.

The boy was rushed to Westmead Hospital for surgery on some of the injuries and his grandmother was taken to Nepean Hospital for stitches to her arm. An animal services officer from Penrith City Council attended and seized the offending dog. “The dog was transported to Hawkesbury Animal Shelter and a surrender form was signed by the owner,” said a Penrith City Council spokesperson. The dog was put down on Wednesday. St Marys police are investigating the incident but they are not expecting to take any action.
Double demerits
Animal cruelty
Drivers are facing double demerits for speeding, seatbelt and helmet offences over the Australia Day long weekend. A spokesperson from the Roads And Maritime Services announced that the double demerits would be enforced from January 27–29. “With more police on the roads and double demerits in force, motorists will need to take even more care and drive within the speed limit, use seatbelts, and ensure children are in a child restraint,” a statement said. The RMS also warned drivers that the 40km/h school zones will be back in place on January 27.
Police have charged a man with animal cruelty after multiple witnesses reported the unacceptable behaviour of a 44-year-old Woolloomooloo man walking from Windsor to Llandilo. Whilst walking between the two addresses, the man was sighted punching his bull-Arab puppy in the face after tying the pup to a road post on Seventh Avenue, Llandilo. A further two witnesses contacted police when the man was sighted near Sherringham Road, Cranebrook, dragging the puppy by its leash. The man will face Penrith Local Court in February.

New doctors start work Fresh faces at Nepean Hospital because it can mean longer travel times but the students here always appreciate the training because there are more opportunities, and more one on one training than you can receive at city hospitals,” he said. Both junior doctors are planning on spending their junior years at Nepean Hospital and are happy to be working in their local community. “Being able to teach and mentor other students is one of my reasons for wanting to stay,” Ms Turner said. Director of Medical Administration, Nicola Ward, said it was wonderful to see such a large intake of new doctors, when just over a decade ago there would have been less than 10 interns per year. “There is a lot of activity at the hospital with the extensions taking place so we certainly can justify taking on more doctors,” she said. Health Minister, Jillian Skinner, was pleased with the number of doctors starting work at Nepean and across New South Wales. “I am very pleased to reiterate that every NSW university medical graduate who applied for an intern position in NSW received an offer, which is fantastic for the future of our health system,” Ms Skinner said.

ith the East Ward of Nepean Hospital opening in the coming weeks, there will be plenty of room for the hospital’s newest medical recruits. A total of 47 medical graduates have been accepted by the hospital as junior doctors. Alfred Massaud and Sarah Turner, both Penrith locals, enjoyed their fi rst days on the hospital floor on Monday, taking on the responsibility of looking after both patients and junior medical students. Both Mr Massaud and Ms Turner completed all their medical training at the hospital through the University of Sydney’s medical school. “It has made it a lot easier completing our placements and now training at the one hospital,” Ms Turner said. “It has been fantastic because we already know the staff and how the hospital operates so it has made adjustment smooth.” Mr Massaud said the number of junior doctors joining Nepean Hospital this year was encouraging. “Nepean Hospital is not always the fi rst preference of medical students

Australia Day is an ideal time to reflect on what our country stands for. We share our pride and can champion the qualities that bring out our best as a compassionate and forwardthinking nation. Around 70 new citizens have embraced what it means to be Australian here in Penrith. I welcome my new fellow Australians. I was also honoured to present this year’s Australia Day Awards to outstanding Penrith City citizens. Their generosity, courage, tenacity and talent merit our applause. The spirit of Penrith’s people will again be reflected in Penrith Library’s ‘The Making of a City: Venturing Above and Beyond’ conference on March 10.
Dumping ground Kemps Creek on agenda for contaminated soil CASSANDRA O CONNOR
I
t is going to be diffi cult for Kemps Creek to bury its reputation as Sydney’s back door dump. In 2011 rumours circulated that the O’Farrell Government was going to use a Kemps Creek landfi ll facility to dispose of radioactive waste from the former Hunters Hill uranium processing plant. Though the State Government has publicly promised not to relocate the waste to Kemps Creek, chemical processing plant, Orica, has set its sights on the Penrith region as a possible destination for mercury-contaminated soil from its former Botany ChlorAlkali plant.
Environment Minister, Robyn Parker, has condemned Orica for multiple chemical spills in recent months at its Newcastle and Botany plants. At a community meeting held last month, an option to have the toxic soil treated offsite was outlined in a presentation by Orica employees, Bill Crowe and James Stening. In the briefi ng paper submitted to the local Community Liaison Committee, Orica stated: “instead of washing the excavated soil, it will all be transported to a purpose built cell at a licensed landfi ll facility. Orica has identifi ed a purpose built cell for this option which can accept mercury waste in the fi rst half of 2012.” The paper also states that approximately one metre of topsoil would be excavated
and removed as well as hotspots of visible pooled mercury. SITA Environmental Solutions owns the only landfi ll facility in NSW capable of accepting restricted waste, situated on Elizabeth Drive, Kemps Creek. “If Orica have identifi ed that they have restricted waste then we would be the only facility that can accept that waste,” said General Manager of Marketing and Strategy for SITA, Simon Lee. “If they pursue an option of offsite storage of restricted waste then we would be the only facility in NSW able to accept it. Restricted waste cannot be transported across borders.” The Weekender attempted to contact Orica but was unable to get a response before deadline.
Cleaner streets
Fatalities down
Stabbed in back
Almost one tonne of litter has been cleaned from our City’s streets since the beginning of December, thanks to Penrith City Council’s newly dedicated litter crew. While many of Council’s outdoor staff collect litter as part of their daily work schedules, the two person team hit the streets at the end of last year specifically targeting litter collection as part of Council’s draft Litter Minimisation Strategy, which tackles litter through education, removal and enforcement.
In 2011, Australia recorded the lowest number of road deaths since 1946, down to about a third of the deaths recorded at the peak in 1970. Over the past 10 years annual fatalities on Australian roads have fallen by almost 26 per cent. New official figures for December 2011 show 1,292 lives were lost on the nation’s roads during 2011 – a 4.4 per cent reduction on 2010. Th is fall continues the downward trend in road fatalities over the last five years.
A 32-year-old Cranebrook man will face court on charges of malicious wounding after a domestic incident resulted in the man stabbing a 31-yearold Cranebrook man in the back at 11.30pm last Tuesday. The man was rushed to Nepean Hospital but is not in a serious condition and police established a crime scene. The 32-year-old faces court on February 6.

High achievers headed to local university CASSANDRA O CONNOR
T
he University of Western Sydney (UWS) is attracting more high achievers, according to Pro ViceChancellor of Education, Professor Kerri-Lee Krause. The university sent out their offers to prospective 2012 students last week and already have seen startling growth in its engineering, arts and health science program at the Penrith campus. “We are defi nitely on a growth trajectory,” Prof Krause said. “In the Penrith area, health sciences, occupational therapy and engineering have all seen increases in the number of fi rst preference listings from students across the state.” The number of students listing the local university as their fi rst preference has risen by 2.5 per cent on last year’s figures. The university’s growth has also been bolstered by the Federal Government’s decision to offer an unlimited number of commonwealth-supported placements. “UWS has a strong growth trend and we are looking at hiring 100 new staff each year for the next five years to support this growth,” Prof Krause said.

“Th is is really important for the people of Penrith and St Marys, who now will have more opportunity to gain tertiary qualifications.” Benjamin Clark is one such student who is taking advantage of the additional placements on offer at UWS. After graduating from Penrith High School and attaining an ATAR of 94.65, Mr Clark enrolled
in a combined Bachelor of Arts/ Bachelor of Laws at the Parramatta and Penrith campuses. “I chose Arts/Law because it included a broad range of arts subjects that could cater to my interests while simultaneously allowing me to pursue a career in law,” Mr Clark said. “UWS has always been a reliable option and being local makes it more easy to navigate.”

Are we racist? Teo’s Australia Day address creates a stir
COUNCIL SNAPSHOT
LOUISE BOURKE
W
orld-renowned brain surgeon Dr Charles Teo has highlighted the issue of racism in our society and called for a greater acceptance of immigrants in his Australia Day address. Dr Teo described his own experiences growing up in Picnic Point in Sydney’s south west, where “racism was rife”, and said that while racism is not as overt as it once was, it remains part of life in Australia. “It still disturbs me when I hear some of our politicians reassuring overseas governments that it doesn’t exist at all,” he said. “It is incorrect and naive to say that there is no anti-Arab or no anti-Indian sentiment, just ask someone of Middle Eastern or Indian appearance.” Dr Teo, who spent 10 years working in the US, still believes Australia is the “greatest nation in the world” and a product of our multicultural society. “I want all Australians to see how immigrants have contributed to our nation and to appreciate that a rich and prosperous country such as ours has a moral and global responsibility to share our resources,” he said. Dr Teo also called for people who come to live in Australia to “embrace the Australian way of life.” What’s your view? Email news@ westernweekender.com.au.
With summer here and higher air-conditioning and fan bills lurking in its wake, residents are encouraged to borrow a free Power-Mate energy meter from Council’s Penrith City Library branches. The highly popular meters are easy to use and can help reduce unnecessary energy costs. “Residents simply connect the meter between the appliance and power socket,” said Penrith Mayor, Greg Davies. The meter measures the electricity use, greenhouse gas emissions and energy costs of the appliance both while it’s in use or on standby. The meters are available for library members to borrow from Penrith, St Clair and St Marys Libraries for a seven day period. Penrith City Council and the Nepean District Tennis Association are undertaking consultation with tennis clubs, coaches, players and the community to serve the future of the sport in the local area.

he CEO of St Marys Leagues Club breathed a sigh of relief when it was revealed the Federal Government would trial mandatory precommitment technology on poker machines. And while Rod Desborough is happy with the government’s backfl ip, he believes there is still a long way to go. “I think it’s great that common sense prevailed,” he said. “Trialling pre-commitment technology has been the industry position since day one, but it has to be fully trialled.” Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, announced last weekend a new batch of initiatives to address problem gambling, including a trial of the pre-commitment technology in the ACT instead of forcing all clubs to adhere. “Th is is a positive step to
creating evidence-based policy,” Mr Desborough said. Even if the trial supports reform, Mr Desborough said he would continue to support the technology, providing the evidence was there to show cost benefits. “We need to fi nd a fi ne balance where we can still help problem gamblers without affecting people’s jobs and the club industry,” he said. Federal Lindsay MP, David Bradbury, welcomed the government’s decision. “I acknowledge the important community contribution of our local clubs and will continue to work closely with them all to ensure that the government’s efforts to tackle problem gambling are implemented in a way that is effective and fair,” Mr Bradbury said. “A trial of mandatory precommitment technology will allow us to address the issue of problem gambling with an evidence-based, scientifi c approach.”

Do you snore? Hospital hunts for global study participants LOUISE BOURKE
I
f you’re a snorer who’s tired of being kicked out of the bed, there’s one place that will happily offer you a place to sleep. RPA hospital is recruiting for people who snore to be part of a global study investigating the connection between sleep apnoea, blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes. Professor Craig Anderson, RPA Head, Department of Neurology, is calling on more snorers to volunteer so the study can reach its target of 5,000 patients.
The only thing easier than driving one.... is owning one.
“The more information we gather, the closer we are to better understanding the causes of heart attacks and strokes,” Professor Anderson said. “Th is may well lead to the development of new medical approaches to the prevention of cardiovascular disease.” Trial participant Terry Joseph, 62, has been taking part in the study for the past 12 months. Mr Joseph, who suff ers from heart disease and had his fi rst heart attack at 38, believes the study is doing wonders for his health. Participants must be aged between 45 and 75 and have previous heart conditions, heart attacks or bypass surgery. Details: 9515 3251.

The World’s Strongest Man is an international title and the Sydney qualifying event will be held at the local gym this weekend.

ROADWORKS AT GLENMORE PARK ARE LIKELY TO BE FINISHED NEXT MONTH
Upgrades almost done: But poor weather isn’t helping KATHERINE TWEED
T
he unpredictable weather may force Glenmore Park drivers to adhere to reduced speed limits for just a little longer as vital road works are carried out at one of its busiest intersections. Roadworks on the Glenmore Parkway at The Northern Road entrance is scheduled to be completed next month, providing the weather doesn’t force delays. The notorious section of the Glenmore Parkway has caused various accidents
over the years, particularly during wet weather. Penrith City Council has attempted to reduce the frequent accidents over the years by upgrading fences and installing new road markers. But the Council applied for Federal Government funding in a bid to overhaul the main thoroughfare. The roadworks include adjustments to the kerb and improvements to the drainage system. “The project came to the Council’s attention due to the high reported accident history,” a Council spokesperson said.

Outstanding work: Honours for two local students CASSANDRA O CONNOR
T
wo students of the Nepean Arts and Design Centre, Kingswood have been recognised by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) for their outstanding photographic skills in portrait. Diploma of Photo Imaging student, Kirsten Flavell, was named AIPP NSW Student Photographer of the Year and fellow student, David Glazebrook, the AIPP Australian Student Photographer of the Year. Mr Glazebrook has also been named a fi nalist for the National Photographic Portrait Prize for a photograph of his elderly neighbour, who he said has an inspiring level of energy and vigour for her age. “I am attracted to portraiture because everyone has a story and if you can bring that out it is a real achievement. Being told your work is just ‘nice’ is beige, I want a work that raises questions of the subject,” Mr Glazebrook said. “My neighbour of 14 years, Olive, is so full of character I knew she would make an excellent subject. At 93, she is a real dynamo. Olive keeps very busy having an agenda that would see people 20 years her junior tire.” Mrs Flavell is also very pleased with her achievements, including winning a gold

award in the International Loupe Awards in the amateur category of People and Portrait. Mrs Flavell’s photograph was taken on a boat on the River Ganges in heavy fog and portrays the driver rowing from the end of the boat on a trip in January 2011 to India.
L
ion Frank Killen, one of two founding members of the Penrith Lions Club, has been awarded the highly prestigious Melvin Jones Fellowship award for his ongoing dedication to the club. Mr Killen started the Lions Club in 1957 and after more than 50 years of dedication, the Lions International’s Head Office in Oak Brook, Illinois, America bestowed on him the Fellowship. “I appreciate the award but never set out
to win it,” Mr Killen said. “I started the Lions Club in 1957 and was formerly the president and then also the secretary for 17 years straight. “One of our longest lasting community initiatives has been support for the Nepean Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Each year for nearly 20 years we have provided them with fi nances to help import expensive equipment that they may need.” Fellow Lions Club member, Barry Leavett-Brown, said that Mr Killen has served the Penrith Lions Club earnestly with great determination and, as one would expect, had very high standards in his position of club secretary.

Depression awareness: Event planned for Seniors Week
THE TEAM AT THE LUKE PRIDDIS FOUNDATION ARE SHEDDING WEIGHT
Shedding weight: Raising money for a good cause
O
ver the past month, staff from the Luke Priddis Foundation have been shedding kilos to raise funds for kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The ‘achievit’ charity challenge is a weight loss fundraiser designed to match an activity based fundraising challenge with behaviours that promote good public health outcomes. The foundation urged locals to get sponsored by friends, family and colleagues to lose a few kilos to raise money for a good cause.
The campaign began in December last year and so far, the team at the Luke Priddis Foundation have lost a fantastic 10kgs, raising over $1000 for kids with ASD. The Luke Priddis Foundation was established in 2006 and is dedicated to helping out children and families who deal with ASD by providing access to support, resources and early intervention. “At the Luke Priddis Foundation, we realise there is no quick fi x for the challenges faced by children living with Autism Spectrum Disorders,” Mr Priddis said.
AN EVENT HIGHLIGHTING DEPRESSION WILL BE HELD AT THE SENIORS CENTRE
KATHERINE TWEED
S
eniors Week comes to NSW in March and it is a time to celebrate and spread awareness of the value that our senior citizens have within the Penrith community. The Penrith Evening Branch of National Seniors Australia (NSA) is planning an event for Seniors Week to highlight depression in the over 50’s at Penrith Valley Seniors Centre.
The event will be held on Thursday, March 22 in the hopes of raising funds for the Black Dog Institute. The Black Dog Institute is a facility dedicated to offering specialist expertise in depression and bi-polar disorder. Help is still needed for the March 22 event, and organisers are looking for a company willing to sponsor the event to ensure flyers can be printed to promote the day. If you or your organisation is able to help with this project, contact Peter Horsfield on 0448 477 487.

They show how to lose weight, feel great and raise funds for charity
A new way to feel great
The Luke Priddis Foundation
The Luke Priddis Foundation loves to set a good example. And that’s exactly what they are doing in The achievit® Charity Challenge.
The Luke Priddis Foundation was established in 2006 by ex NRL star Luke Priddis and his wife Holly following the diagnosis of their third child with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). The foundation aims to assist families and children that are living with ASD by providing access to much needed support, resources and early intervention. As well as supporting many families in need, they also aim to raise the profile of ASD within the community and to educate the public not only about the many challenges faced by children living with ASD but also the valuable and meaningful contributions that these children are still able to offer given the right tools and support.
In the few weeks since they agreed to take the challenge, the team has already lost a combined total of over 10kgs. With the promise of more to come! Perhaps even more importantly they have raised over $1,000 for the Foundation as people have signed up online to sponsor them. The team is ecstatic with the results as they continue to work towards becoming the healthiest versions of themselves through combining achievit® with the LivingLite program, and plenty of healthy fresh food and exercise!

P
eople take up belly dance for many reasons and through various stages of their lives. Ghawazi Caravan studios cater for all students ranging from the beginner just looking for fun and exercise, through to the advanced dancer looking to work on their technique and performance ability. They cater for students as young as five to 70 years of age. Ghawazi Caravan was the fi rst Tribal Bellydance troupe and school within the Blue Mountains and was one of the fi rst schools within Australia dedicated to Tribal Style Bellydance. Last year, artistic director/founder Devi Mamak, with members and teachers, was once again invited to teach and perform in Sydney, Queensland, Victoria, South Australia and Tasmania, as well as Taiwan, Belgium, Germany and the USA. Devi has trained many of the top dancers in the genre and has a real passion for teaching adults and children alike. As an extra bonus this year, Devi will be offering her Drills & Individual Critique Course, which offers about 36 hours – which can broken into four separate sessions – to Tribal Bellydancers who are serious about the art. Th is course covers all your American Tribal style steps, movements and concepts, as well as steps and concepts used by Ghawazi Caravan, fi nger cymbals, muscle application, posture, staging, and stage presence. Phone Devi on 0419 184 231 or visit www.ghawazicaravan.com.

he Australian economy could be in for a boost from a surprising source, with one in 10 Australians over the age of 50 saying they would like to start a new business, according to Apia – the leading insurance provider for over 50s. Apia’s report, ‘Life begins at 50: The Big Issues’ found that with more than seven million people over the age of 50 in Australia, potentially 700,000 new businesses could spring up. The report identifi ed that half of people over 50 think they won’t have enough money to see them through retirement, while nearly 60 per cent of people over 50 say they will need to work longer than they wanted to.
Not only does this mean Australia is likely to see a Baby Boomer Business Boom, but also an increase in the number of over 50s remaining in the workforce. “It is clear that a signifi cant proportion of older Australians, particularly those still in the workforce, are looking to stay engaged. Less than 40 per cent of those over 50 still in the workforce plan to retire by age 65,” said Dr Richard Burns from the Australian National University’s Ageing Research Unit. “At a national policy level, government may need to consider a whole range of strategies to boost and encourage part-time workplace participation past 65 years of age.”
Executive Manager of Advice at Apia, Eric Moses, said the vast majority of those nearing retirement were worried about their money, or lack thereof, and whether or not they would have enough to last them in retirement. “Baby Boomers are extremely entrepreneurial, and starting a new business is a great way to apply the lessons they have learned throughout their life to potentially top up their retirement income,” he said.

Reduce the gap
B
usiness borrowers need to demand that our banks reduce the yawning gap between business loan rates and home loan rates. New data from the Reserve Bank shows that ultra-pricey lending to businesses has surged over the last 18 months. The latest figures show more than $55 billion was on loan to SMEs at variable rates of nine per cent or more. While that seems expensive, the scary number is this – the amount of money being lent to SME’s at credit card-like interest rates (in excess of 15 per cent) has soared by nearly 40 per cent to $2.3 billion. If you’re a small business owner looking for fi nance, here’s a simple guide on how to get a better deal on finance products. First, before you think about switching lenders, see what the absolute rate and fees are compared to others. A simple way to do this is to look to the ‘comparison rate’, which will help you to compare apples with apples. Second, look at and talk to some alternatives. The cash costs of switching include things like application fees and valuation fees. Of course there are non-cash costs – the time it takes to look for, negotiate and complete a loan application isn’t trivial. Th ird, talk to your lender about your options – you may be surprised at how willing they are to negotiate rates to keep your business. Finally, if you’re lender isn’t willing to shave a few basis points off your current loan rate, then do the math on switching costs and go to someone who does value your business. Damian Smith is the CEO of Rate City

Set those goals
S
o you’re back at work. Every 2nd e-newsletter and article you read tells you to set goals for 2012 and work on those new year resolutions. But how do you motivate yourself when you’d really rather be back on the beach, margarita in one hand, trashy novel in another? It can be extremely diffi cult to get back into the groove, which is why so many businesses say that January is a horrible month. Here are some tips to help you get moving again and to get 2012 into great shape: 1. Reward yourself: small rewards (e.g. chocolate) for smaller tasks and larger rewards for ticking off the bigger goals (e.g. a night out at the end of the week) 2. Trade your ‘reluctant to do’ tasks with someone else. For example, you might need some content written for your website, and the copywriter you know needs something you can offer: win-win! 3. Set ‘milestones’ rather than ‘deadlines’. Sometimes the subtle change in language can shift the negative feelings about a task. 4. Remember the reasons why you are completing this goal. Or more broadly, remember why you are in business in the first place. This can help re-focus you and retrieve your confi dence and enthusiasm. 5. Find a ‘goal partner’ with whom you can be accountable for your goals (and who is happy to give you a pep talk when you need it!) Take a serious look at these tips and consider how many of them you could enact! Michelle Grice is the founder of www.dotwomen.com.au
Being aware
T
he ACCC sent out a pretty handy media release not long ago which I think business owners and consumers should be aware of. As a business owner, do you know you must, by law, guarantee the products or services you sell? Here are some must know points: • Your customers now have the right to ask for a repair, replacement or refund if the products you sell are faulty, unsafe or don’t work as intended. • These rights are called consumer guarantees and they have been law since January 1, 2011. • In broad terms, consumer guarantees state that all goods sold in Australia must be of acceptable quality, be fit for any purpose that the consumer made known and match the description given. • Services must be delivered with due care and skill, and completed within a reasonable time if no set timeframe is agreed. • If the goods or services don’t meet the consumer guarantees, the most appropriate remedy will depend on how serious the problem is. • If there is a major problem, your customers are entitled to choose a refund or a replacement product (or receive compensation in the case of services). If the problem is minor you can choose whether you will repair, replace or refund the product or fix the problem with the service. • You can’t limit or refuse a consumer guarantee. The ACCC has produced an online education module for businesses. See www.accc.gov.au/consumerguarantees. Michael Todd is the Marketing and Business Manager of the Penrith Business Advisory Centre

Starting school can be a tough time for children suffering from allergies
G David Stein: Advice from our resident fitness guru
etting children ready for school or preschool is always a challenging task for parents. So can you imagine the added stress of preparing a child who has severe allergies? Anthony Field, internationally recognised as the “Blue Wiggle”, will be taking extra precautions to help his son Antonio who has severe food allergies back to preschool in 2012. With Antonio being at high risk of anaphylaxis – the most severe form of allergic reaction that can be fatal – Mr Field is urging all aff ected families to work on an allergy healthcare plan with schools and preschools. “We know Antonio is eager and excited
Gymnastics
to go back to preschool, so we are pretty focused on making sure we are preparing ourselves in advance, speaking to his preschool about his allergies and providing an updated action plan which details how the school should respond if he has a reaction,” Mr Field said. “Anyone who has experienced or seen fi rst-hand someone having an anaphylactic reaction would know that it is an incredibly frightening experience. The most important thing for us is to make sure Antonio’s carers are aware of his allergies, aware of the triggers, ensuring they are familiar with his adrenaline auto-injector and know how to use it.” Maria Said, President of Anaphylaxis
Australia, said having an open dialogue with your children’s teachers or carers about severe allergies is an important fi rst step before the school year starts. “Parents should feel they can approach their children’s teachers and have the opportunity to discuss severe allergy management. It’s wonderful to see that there are more and more allergy aware schools in Australia, but the reality is that we, including schools and preschools, can never totally remove the risk of a reaction,” she said. Links to anaphylaxis guidelines for schools and children’s services across Australia are available at www.allergyfacts. org.au.

Diets! ARGHHH!
HOROSCOPES
Have you tried them all and still overweight? Did you stick with your New Year’s Resolutions? Maybe you didn’t even bother making any? Do you get tired, especially after a meal, some foods don’t seem to agree with you?
ARIES MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20 Discretion in your romantic life is going to be of uppermost importance over the next few weeks as Venus enters your house of secrets and psychology. You’ll find that it’ll be wise to pull a veil over the more intimate side of your nature, and you’ll be less inclined to confide your deepest secrets even to your closest friends. Quiet interludes with the one you love will be far more attractive than painting the town red.
Find out why! Did you know that your food can be causing you to gain weight or stopping you from losing weight, even if you have a healthy diet? We’re all individuals, so what is a healthy diet for one person may make someone else sick. You might often feel tired, or moody after a meal but not 100% sure what the culprit is. You may have even developed problems with your thyroid! At Informed Health Nutritional Wellbeing Centre we can give you answers you’ve been looking for. We will take into account all factors of weight loss including stress, hormones, allergies, thyroid, diet, exercise and lifestyle to get you the best results you’ve ever achieved. We are very thorough and we know that one size does not fit all. We help you to get to the bottom of it and work out which are the right foods for you. We also make sure it doesn’t just become another yo-yo diet, by not just giving you a diet and sending you on your way, but by educating you on how your body works, and using not only correct diet, with real food, but making you lose weight utilising your weight loss hormones.

Venus enters your eleventh house giving a remarkable uplift to your social prospects. During the next few weeks you’ll find yourself at the centre of friendly interactions. People will seek you out for the pleasure of your company. It’s also a good time to get in contact with distant friends and those you haven’t seen for a while. The only fly in the ointment is that you shouldn’t expect a small phone bill.
By the time you’ve finished here with us, you’ll be an expert on how to eat to lose weight, while still enjoying the good things in life, the right foods for you. We don’t believe in cutting out everything you enjoy, we just teach you how to incorporate them into your diet so it doesn’t make you gain weight ever again. We provide heaps of great recipes, and all the support you need to be successful - to lose weight and keep it off.
GEMINI
MAY 22 TO JUNE 21
Venus moves into your solar house of ambitions and prominence and ensures that the use of charm and diplomacy will help to solve any professional problems. You can hardly fail to win with such charisma on your side. A woman may be instrumental in helping you solve a money or business problem of some kind. This woman’s sound, common-sense will help you to see things much more clearly.
No matter what level you’re at, being a healthy weight is beneficial not only to looking and feeling great, but to keep you disease free, young, fit and healthy forever!

CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22 The planets are urging you to push ahead with new projects as they move through your solar house of adventure. You’re in a self-confident mood and feel able to tackle anything the world throws at you. There’s a lure of the exotic as well, as far-off places exert a powerful attraction. Think again about widening your personal horizons by reading literature, travelling or by taking up an educational course.

Venus enters the area of your chart that is connected with love and sex. Oddly enough, this aspect can bring the end of a difficult relationship, or just as easily begin a wonderful new romance. If you have been dating but haven’t gotten around to mating, this could be the start of something wonderful. Your emotional life over the next few weeks should be something to be remember, that’s for sure!

AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
40
by Francis A Bevan
Venus In Pisces Sextiles Jupiter; January 15th - February 9th
It will be very easy to deal with other people over the next few weeks because they will be in a mood to co-operate with your schemes and dreams. You can expect help from someone who is in a powerful position and your own status will increase in some kind of rather subtle manner, too. If things have been difficult in a partnership or with a loved one, then this is your chance to put everything back into order.
www.francisbevan.com
LIBRA
SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
Something important is happening at work. You may be given a more responsible job with an increase in salary or status to go with it. You could be in a position to hire some help now and, if so, you will find just the right person for the job. Any changes that take place in relation to work, chores or even housework will be for the better. Also your health is likely to improve and it’s a good time to visit a doctor.
SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22 Your love life looks up when a charming and flirtatious mood takes hold. You’ll be extremely seductive and will win admiration with ease. Your silver tongue enables you to express pent-up feelings. Your heart is filled with compassion for others and perhaps you will be drawn to raise money for a good cause. However, you must guard against daydreams as they will interfere with your everyday routines and duties.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
You are likely to be surprised by the antics of various family members and your mother, sister or grandparents are the most likely source of all the fun. You may hear some really unexpected news about these relatives and they could suddenly decide to descend upon you to give you their glad tidings. If for some reason you’ve been dissatisfied with your home then this is an ideal time to make some changes.
CAPRICORN DECEMBER 22 TO JANUARY 20 This is an excellent time in which to get to know your neighbours and local neighbourhood better, so make time for gossip as you wander around doing your day to day duties. If you’ve got any favours to ask then Venus ensures that the use of charm and eloquence will easily win others over. A little flirtation combined with a smile ensures that you achieve your desires. It’s a good time to have a computer fixed.
AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
Your financial state should experience a welcome boost for a few weeks as Venus, one of the planetary indicators of wealth, moves into your solar house of possessions and economic security. You feel that you deserve a lifestyle full of luxury and that’ll be reflected in the good taste you express when making purchases for your home. Your sense of self-worth and inner confidence is also boosted.
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
The luxury loving planet Venus is suggesting that this is a great time to spoil yourself and to also enjoy yourself. So treat yourself to something nice and new for you alone. A new outfit would be a good idea, or a few nice smelling toiletries. The world of romance will be extremely attractive as fantasies take over your life. Many admiring glances will come your way as you are simply radiant and glowing.

Taking our health for granted
Tips for stress relief Q. I seem to be always stressed, with never enough time to get everything done. What’s your advice for coping with a busy life? Learning how to manage stress is one of the most important things you can do for your health and wellbeing. Here are my top tips to help you reduce stress: • Get regular exercise, even if it’s just a short walk in the park or around the block. Exercise helps the body process stress related hormones. • Spending time in nature is a great way to revitalise and reduce stress. Take a walk through a local park or make your garden into an oasis. • Drink fi ltered water and nourish your body with healthy food: being dehydrated can trigger the fl ight or fight response because your body thinks it’s in survival mode. • Be mindful of the breath: breathing from the belly can turn on the relaxation response, which is the antidote to the stress response. Find a meditation class in your local area to help get into a regular routine. • Everyone is diff erent so it is important to understand how your body reacts to stress. Do you feel a tightening in your shoulders or are you prone to headaches or tummy upsets? Just notice what happens when you are stressed.
S
• Pay attention to your thinking. We can stress ourselves out by worrying about things that we can’t do anything about, or which have already happened. • Spend a few minutes writing a list of your 10 most favourite things to do and schedule some into your week. • The brain can’t tell the diff erence between a memory and the real thing, so visualise being happy. • Love is a natural stress reliever.
ometimes we all take our health and fitness for granted, no matter what level it’s at. I have a story for you... I have a friend who has a pretty serious addiction and their health has obviously suffered. You’ve probably heard the story: using a little bit occasionally turns into a little bit more, and before long it’s pretty much all they do. He’s not interested in coming out for a ride or game anymore, and when we do talk you can guess what it’s about. The other day we were at a party and I noticed he was missing for a while, I had a sinking feeling and went to look for him. Sure enough I found him in a room with two other people, all deathly quiet just sitting with that dull glazed look. How do you explain to someone what they’re missing in that state. Even if he could break out of his self-imposed habit and go for a run with his kids, physically he would be lethargic and unable to keep up. But also mentally he has wasted away. The bonds with his wife, kids or friends is diminished by lack of time and effort spent in interaction with them. All these are linked to many forms of depression and sickness. A couple days ago he approached me for some help, because now his kids have also started using. We have put a couple things in place.

One of the main things was a week clean. You never realise how dependent someone is until they have to go without. ‘I could if I want to, but I just don’t want to right now’ is every addict’s favourite line. I wonder if any readers know someone who would behave like this? What advice would you give him? Maybe there are people reading who would like the same challenge. I’m guessing there is plenty of shaking heads saying ‘I’m not addicted to anything’. Well I’ll tell you the state altering, mind numbing drug of choice he was abusing. Television. Could you turn it off for a week? Or do you just not want to right now...

FASHION FIXATION
PERSONAL FINANCE
by Katherine Tweed
by Anthony Walker
Wearing Prints
L
ast week in Fashion Fixation, I talked about the abundance of summer colours in stores at the moment. Colours form the basis of any outfi t however prints play a much more outstanding role – the fabric design is what draws your eye to a piece of clothing. It is easy to wear a basic, plain colour however, prints make you stand out and can give your outfi t some character. Th is week I spent a day in Sydney testing out my summer colour wear. I was bright and bubbly, my outfi t was colourful but consisted of block colours. Instead of standing out of the crowd, I blended in with the businessmen and women who also wore plain fabrics as I did. It was here that I decided to do some investigation into prints. From the CBD in Sydney I moved on to Taronga Zoo where there were more prints than I could manage – the tigers and zebras wore stripes, the leopards and giraff es wore spots and the lemurs mixed plain with prints for a great look.
All jokes aside, I took inspiration from my furry friends and delved into the world of printed clothing. Mother nature has gifted animals with prints that suit their figure but how do we; the less gifted, skin coloured animals, get prints right? 1. Prints create illusions. So choose prints to complement your body type. Take some tips from my zoo buddies: the tall slim giraff e wears big prints that help disguise height. The short, stocky zebra wears vertical stripes that give her the illusion of height. 2. When shopping for printed clothing, choose a printed item and design your outfi t around that. It’s a common mistake to buy lots of printed clothes and simply throw them together later – this often doesn’t work out. 3. As with wearing colours, only wear what you will feel comfortable with. Remember, you aren’t going to look confi dent if you don’t feel confi dent.

Spend with the locals
I
mentioned in my column a couple of weeks ago that the last couple of years have been hard for small businesses. Before Christmas, I received an email chain with a really good message encouraging people to purchase Christmas presents locally – a voucher for dinner at a local restaurant, a haircut at the local salon or a car service from the local mechanic – you get the idea! It was about supporting the business people who are on our doorstep, the businesses we pass day in and out on our way to and from the bus stop and train station or when we’re driving past. Without these businesses we wouldn’t just be able to pop around the corner to do things such as grabbing some takeout, dining out, picking up something new to wear or getting our shoes re-heeled! It really is a case of sometimes you don’t realise what you’ve got until it’s gone! Cashflow is the mitigating factor, particularly for small businesses who feel the effects a lot faster than larger companies with cash reserves so, if you haven’t made any New Year Resolutions this year, and in the spirit of Australia Day this week, I encourage our local community to keep things local where you can, not just at Christmas time but throughout the other 11 months of the year too! Have a good look through The Western Weekender at some of the great local businesses that advertise their products and services. You never know what could be waiting for you! There’s plenty of surprises waiting around the corner.

Do you have a nail fungal infection?
Tips for heading back to school
I
sn’t this a great time of year? All that running around getting those little gems ready for school again. Books, bags, lunch boxes and the dreaded school shoe purchase. Well, let’s set out some guidelines to help make the process a bit easier. Listed below are the 5 most important tips on good school shoes: 1. Shop at a shoe store well known for fitting feet well. Don’t go for the bargain discount shops that rely on quick sales to get their target. There are several chains of footwear stores that guarantee the fit of your child’s shoes. 2. Ensure the shoe has a fi rm heel counter which cups the back of the heel on your foot. You should be able to squeeze the heel counter and see only a small amount of flexibility. You should not be able to totally compress the heel counter. 3. Lace up shoes are much better for kids that can do up their own laces. Th is offers a more stable fit. Leave Velcro for the little ones if you can. 4. The size of your child’s shoes should be guided by the store assistant. These people know what they are talking about. However as a general rule, there should be about your child’s thumbnail width between the end of
Life & Style
ALL ABOUT FEET
their longest toe and the end of the shoe. 5. In the case that your child requires black school shoes, ensure they also have a good quality jogger for all their sporting activities. The rules above also apply to athletic shoes. If you follow the steps above it will all go smoothly and you can get your darlings back into that routine of school with the confidence that they will be as comfortable as possible.
D
o you have weak or cracked nails? If so, like 1.6 million other Australians, you most probably have a nail fungal infection These infections are usually present when your nails are cracked, weak, brittle or turning a yellow to brown colour. The infections are easy to get. You need only an injury to the nail, such as jamming your fi nger in a door, wearing tight footwear, having fake nails or for no apparent reason at all. Unfortunately, the fungus can spread to other nails. The infections must be treated, as they will not clear by themselves. The fungus will continue to live in the nail and spread to new parts as the nail grows. Many people are very conscious of their nails, and these infections can be embarrassing. They can also cause great pain when walking or standing if in the toenail. When in the fi ngernails typing, opening things or writing can be painful The majority of infections are in the nails themselves, which mean they can be easily treated with a topical solution like Loceryl or Daktarin. If the infection is below the nails near the skin, you should seek advice from your pharmacist. The only way to treat nail fungal infections is to stop the growth of the
Trent Baker, Podiatrist at Nepean Podiatry Ph: 4735 5188
fungus and stop it spreading into the new parts of the nail. Then you must wait for the aff ected part of the nail to grow out. Th is means treatment will usually take at least three to six months, depending on how long the nail takes to grow and how much of the nail is infected. Daktarin needs to be applied twice a day. Loceryl is more convenient, only needing to be applied once week and the kit includes disposable emery boards to help fi le down thickened nails. While Daktarin may seem a cheaper option, it does not contain enough solution to treat a nail long term and you will need to repurchase.

t is no surprise that parents today want their children to have the things that they missed out on when they were growing up. Parents want to give their children the opportunity to experience more in life. While this can be costly in terms of time, energy, emotions and fi nances, many parents are willing to make those sacrifi ces to give their children these opportunities – the very best in things like education, sport, music, dance and travel. It seems that whatever it takes, parents are prepared to make the sacrifi ce so their children can be involved in these things. Now of course all these things are good and right – they do have a place in life, but the big question is at what cost do these things come? Are parents so busily pursuing “the best” for their children that they leave out the very best for their children? Consider Jesus’ words from the Bible’s New Testament book of Matthew; “Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.” In other words, life does not consist of the abundance of possessions that we accumulate, or the degrees or qualifi cations we achieve or even the quality or quantity of relationships that we have. Jesus says that we cannot live on these things alone. There is something more significant, more valuable. It is something that holds all these things together to give
everything else value and meaning; it is “every word that comes from the mouth of God”. If parents want their children to experience the very best in life, we would do well to take Jesus’ words to heart.

S
olar power prices have dropped dramatically in recent months, and with prices at all time lows, local solar provider, Solaray Energy, says there’s never been a better and more aff ordable time to make the move to solar. With good quality solar systems, using premium solar panels from Sanyo and Panasonic, starting at around $5,000 for a 3 kilowatt system, the costs have now fallen to the level where the cost per kilowatt is usually well below the price you pay for electricity.
Savings on your energy bill can mean solar can pay for itself in just a few years – for example, a 3 kilowatt system can generate annual savings of up to $1,100 – and with electricity prices continuing to rise, the saving from solar will grow year on year. “When moving into a new home, it is often a good time to look for options to add value to the home or reduce costs – solar panels can do both,” said Peter Thorne, owner of Solaray Energy. Call Peter and his team today on 1300 221 586.

THE VOLVO XC60 HAS BEEN UNVEILED IN NORTH AMERICA
New car: Volvo steps up in battle of the hybrids
V
olvo Car Corporation has unveiled its XC60 Plug-in Hybrid Concept at the North American International Auto Show, which features a new benchmark in hybrid technology. “No other manufacturer delivers fuel economy and electrical range on this level in a capable performance car with a total of 350 horsepower (257 kW),” said Stefan Jacoby, President and CEO, Volvo Car Corporation. “The beauty with this plug-in hybrid technology is that you can keep all the power and capacity of your present car, combined with an even better range.
“The XC60 Plug-in Hybrid Concept gives you up to 35 miles all-electric range (56 km according to the U.S certifi cation driving cycle). Or you can drive it as a super-efficient hybrid with a fuel economy of over 100 miles per gallon (2.3l/100 km) according to the European driving cycle.” An electric motor producing 51 kW – combined with a 206 kW four-cylinder turbocharged gasoline engine – also gives the driver a muscular power plant packing a total of 257 kW. Tell us about your car! We want your thoughts on the best vehicles to drive. Email news@westernweekender.com.au

Harness Racing Last Th ursday’s meeting at the Paceway was held in the afternoon with the first race starting at 1.30pm. The weather was pleasant resulting in a good crowd being on hand to witness some good racing. The results were evenly divided with four favourites out of the eight races fi nally greeting the judge. Race one went to the Lithgow trained Captain Barbossa ($4.50) with Geof Simpson leading all the way. The favourite Zakris was disappointing and did not show up at any stage. Favourite Jakka Cardle ($2.20) with Jay Bellamy was never in danger of defeat in race two and won comfortably from Imunstoppable. In race three the favourite My Hayley Robin was forced to do a bit of work early before moving up to sit outside the leader. In race four the three-year-old pace

Lorraine Pozza provided a bit of an upset when Private Road ($8.70) driven by David Morris was able to steal a win from short priced favourite, The Frogster. David kicked Private Road clear to what was a winning break at the 400 metre mark. Favourite Forgetaboutit ($2.20) driven by Ashlee Siejka was another all the way winner after beginning quickly from gate three and scoring easily in race five. The next winner in race six was the result of an excellent drive from Josh Willick on Suzy Bromac ($3.70). Josh was three back on the inside but on the home bend was able to get Suzy Bromac into the clear and win from Sweet Tooth Omine who was finishing very strong down the outside. Race seven provided another all the way winner with Preordained ($1.80) driven by Lawrence Dawson.
Century ball taking 4 for 38. Grant Macguire in his second grade debut fi nished with 3 for 32. 3rd Grade: Penrith batting fi rst scored 229.

he honours keep coming for newly appointed Penrith skipper Luke Lewis, who has been selected in the NRL All Stars team for the clash with the Indigenous All Stars next month. Lewis joins fellow Panthers player Michael Jennings in the team. Almost 30,000 rugby league fans had their say via two online voting stages to select a representative from each of the 16 NRL clubs in the 20-man All Stars squad, which includes 10 NRL All Stars debutants. Jennings was selected by the fans, while
Lewis was one of two “coach’s selections”. “Luke Lewis is another very experienced utility player who will give me a number of options,” Bennett said. “He represents everything that is good about the game and deserves a spot in the team.” Over 45,000 rugby league fans took part in the voting for both the NRL All Stars and Learn Earn Legend! Indigenous All Stars teams. The All Stars clash will take place at Skilled Park on the Gold Coast on Saturday, February 4.

orget swimming laps at the local pool or even diving under waves at the beach – three local men are preparing to brave the seas when they swim a marathon in Western Australia next month. Lester Gollan, 46, Geoff Evans, 49, and Steve Payne, 52, will each swim 19.7 kilometres as part of the HBF Rottnest Channel Swim. “The event is now the world’s largest open water swimming event and I can’t wait to tackle it,” Mr Gollan said. The trio have been training at the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith for the past six months, which is in addition to their regular weekly swimming commitments at Divers Swim Academy in Penrith. “It’s defi nitely challenging, but I’m hoping to complete the race in about six to seven hours, but it all depends on the conditions,” Mr Gollan said.
S T R A &P

The three locals are all undertaking the swim as individual competitors instead of teaming up and sharing the 19.7 kilometre race. “Each solo swimmer has to have a support boat and my wife Susan will be on board to give me food and drink when I need it,” Mr Gollan said. “I don’t think this would be possible if I didn’t have my wife and family’s support – even though it’s an independent race and I have to do the training, I couldn’t have done it without Susan.” The 5.30am training sessions and lengthy weekend swims at the beach will be well worth it, particularly for Mr Gollan, who is swimming to raise funds for a charity close to his heart – the Autism and Aspergers Support Group. The gruelling race will be held on February 25. To donate to Mr Gollan’s charity, visit www.everydayhero.com.au/ hero_pages/view_posts/lester_ gollan.
