we love local

Here we are, our last publication for 2015.

Someone once told me, that as we get older, each year passes by faster. The reasoning said to be behind this is mathematically based , in that the older you become, each year represents a smaller and smaller portion of your life. When you are ONE, a year is your whole life , whilst when you are 40, one year is only a small fraction of your life (1/40th)and each year seems to pass faster.

An interesting, possibly useless fact!We have plenty more interesting

stories to read in this month's edition. Stories about new developments, ongoing developments, Christmas gifting and the very latest happenings at Luddenham on page 6. A very busy and informative month indeed.

Christmas is a time to spend with loved ones and those near and dear.

Spare a thought for those that are entering this Festive Season with emptiness and a heavy heart, whether it’s the first year or a repeat of many without that special someone, the pain seems to remain the same.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.

Enjoy your Community News and Merry Christmas from US to YOU!

Sydney Science Park on Exhibition

The Sydney Science Park, a proposal that would see 12,000 jobs created, 3,400 dwellings built and attract the world’s leading scientifi c professionals and organisations to our doorstep is currently on public exhibition for rezoning.

Penrith Mayor Karen McKeown said: “Along with the major infrastructure commitments recently announced by the Federal and State governments for roads and rail, the Science Park will be a catalyst for high quality development in the Western Sydney Priority Growth Area.

“The rezoning would unlock land at Luddenham for high quality development and the creation of much sought after knowledge employment.

“Increasing jobs, particularly high-end knowledge jobs in the City is a planning priority for Council,” Cr McKeown said.

“The development fi ts Council’s vision for the region’s growth. The New West in an era of ongoing prosperity and a future that has good roads, transport and quality jobs and support for the people who choose to live, work and play here.

“Without a doubt, the proposed Park is one of the most exciting developments slated for Penrith in recent years.”

Sydney Science Park will be a 280 hectare master planned centre for research, development and education in the food security, energy and health sectors and will have quality residential, educational and retail off erings.

Copies of the proposal are available to view at the Civic Centre, St Marys offi ce, Penrith and St Marys Library, and online at yoursaypenrith.com.au. Submissions can be made from now until 14 December 2015.

For more information, including how to make a submission, please visit Council’s website or contact Council on 4732 8196 or email [email protected].

FAITH – ANGLICAN PARISH OF MULGOA

Article Written + Submitted by: Parishioner Margaret

Sunday Service Times: 8:30am St Thomas’ Mulgoa10:30am St Paul’s Warragamba. 7pm Glenmore Park Anglican Church

The stained glass windows in St Thomas church are exceptionally beautiful for a rural church and were installed in 1868 in memory of George Cox by his family. The triple east window has three unusual and interesting scenes.

The left window illustrates the confession of Thomas with the inscription ‘My Lord and my God’ (John 20) The addition of the pastoralist’s hat with a riding crop beside it is a reference to George Cox as a local landholder.

The middle window ‘Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile’ (John 1) relates to Jesus meeting Nathanael under a fig tree. The right window is ‘He was made known to them in the breaking of bread’ (Luke 24) and shows the two disciples at Emmaus in the evening of Jesus’ resurrection.

All three scenes involve recognitions of Christ’s divinity. The left and right scenes are after his resurrection, representing

the promise of life after death, which by extension applies also to George Cox and consolation for those mourning him. The central panel with its reference to guilelessness has been suggested that it is a reference to George Cox’s character. George, one of the three sons of William Cox, built the lovely mansion, Winbourne, in 1824 and had it extended in 1842 to accommodate his 10 children.

The eight side windows are unusual glass quarry tiles cast by Powell and Sons and were donated by the Cox family and parishioners to commemorate peace after the Crimean war (1853 -1856).

The eyelet window directly above the east window was installed in 1880 and depicts hands and a dove. It symbolises God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.

The windows can be seen every Sunday at our regular morning service at 8.30am with the sun shining through from the east. On Sunday 20th December the service will be at 7pm for ‘The Christmas Story with Carols’. This will be a beautiful candle lit service with the windows lit up from outside, followed by supper. Everyone is welcome.

The Christmas Eve communion service at St Thomas is 11pm and the only service on Christmas Day is 9am. The Christmas Eve service at St Pauls in Warragamba is 6pm. Come along and celebrate the birth of Jesus.

Matt Olliffe is on extended leave until the beginning of next year and in the meantime, Howard Barnett is acting as Minister.

NEW LOOK FOR WARRADALE FC

A new logo and playing strip is due to be released for Warradale FC in 2016. A great deal of hard work has been invested by the committee in designing and fi nalising the new logo and jersey design. The new jersey is expected to be unveiled in early 2016.

If you would like to fi nd out more or would like to join Warradale FC, follow them on Facebook, download TeamApp and search "Warradale FC" or visit www.warradalefc.com


The Northern Road New Route

On the 12th of November, the RMS announced that the Eastern option had been selected as the new route for Northern Road (Stage 4) a month earlier than expected. It was certainly the most favoured option by locals, but it is not good news for those that will be eff ected, we all feel for those residents. This option will mean that Luddenham can survive, as the RMS have confi rmed both ends of the existing Northern Road will connect to the new road and Park Road will still end on the existing road. All Luddenham Heritage Buildings will be left alone and not aff ected with this option.

The RMS are currently designing and working on the plans, once the preliminary information is available, they will be presenting it to the community and stakeholders to gain further feedback.

The Western Sydney Airport Draft Environmental Impact Statement 2015

It is just over a month since the Federal Government released The Western Sydney Airport Draft Environmental Impact Statement and have been running Community Consultation Sessions throughout the broader community. I would urge anyone who has any thoughts or comments to lodge them before the 18th of December (the closing date). Submissions can be made on the Western Sydney Airport web page, it is important that you have your say. Luddenham residents seemed to be most concerned about ground noise of the Airport and dust & noise during construction.

November saw the end of Vicary’s Winery as it is now closed and about to be bulldozed to make way for the airport. Almost 100 years ago, Vicary’s Winery opened its doors in 1923, while the Woolshed a much older building fi rst started operating in its current form in the mid 1970’s.

Plans are well under way for the 2016 Luddenham Show on the 20th & 21st of February. It will be 125 years since the Society was fi rst formed.

I can now confi rm that Sydney’s New Wonderland is not coming to Adams Road Luddenham, as rumours are now fl oating around indicating it could be Luddenham Road.

If you have an opinion on what Luddenham of the future should be like please email your thoughts or views to [email protected].

Sue Mitchell – Essential Bodyworks

Give a Gift of WellnessIn the hustle and bustle of daily life we often fail to see the approach of the festive

season until its right on top of us. With families scattered all over the state, the country and even the world, it can be hard at Christmas time to fi nd a gift that fully shows the heartfelt love and best wishes we feel for those we love.

Then of course the stores are fi lled with like-minded last minute shoppers, trying to fi ll pantries and gift lists all at the same time. No wonder they call it the silly season!

A gift certifi cate from Essential Bodyworks is something you can organise online, from the convenience of your home or offi ce computer any time, day or night. This group of massage therapists, all with remedial training and years of experience, provide a gentle and therapeutic treatment you can trust for quality of service, and a result that will speak volumes when it really matters.

Whether your loved one is an expectant mum, a sporty type, high pressure business person, or someone in the trades, you can give them the chance to stop and take an hour or two of relaxation time, to reset and recharge ready for the new year ahead.

Essential Bodyworks is located inside Insignia Hair and Day Spa, Batt St Penrith and will be opening a another clinic at Mulgoa in 2016.

PARENTS CORNER

Article Written + Submitted by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) Nepean Community + Neighbourhood ServicesP: 0409 986121 or 47218520 E: [email protected] FaceBook: Parenting in Penrith Blog: handsheartsminds.wordpress.com

What Have I Been Talking With Parents About This Past Month?

A lot of parents have been very interested to know how they can determine whether the consequences they are giving their child’s mistaken behaviour are fair and reasonable, and designed to address the behaviour.

First of all, consequences need to be related to the mistaken behaviour. Sometimes this can be tricky. But if the child has been jumping on the lounge, then taking away the soccer game on Saturday doesn’t make sense. The consequence is not related to the behaviour. A more appropriate consequence is allowing the child to sit on the fl oor for a little while.

I use a checklist…• Is it positive?• Am I guiding and educating my child?• Am I teaching my child new skills and behaviours?• Will it maintain our relationship?I will give you a few scenarios, to see how this works.

Scenario 1

A mother told me once how her parent would rip up her homework if she made one mistake. She would then have to do the homework all over again.

What do you think? Which of the above criteria does this meet?Scenario 2

A mother told me how her young child was fussing at the dinner table. The mother calmly put the child’s plate to the side, and calmly told her child that she would return the dinner when the child could sit and be calm. The child was able to settle herself quickly and the mother returned the dinner saying “thank you for sitting so calmly, you are able to eat your dinner better when you sit still”.

What do you think? Which of the above criteria does this consequence meet?

You don’t have to be mean to your child for them to know better and do better.

“Where did we ever get the idea that in order to make children do better, fi rst we have to make them feel worse? Think of the last time you felt humiliated or treated unfairly. Did you feel like cooperating or doing better?”Jane Nelson

Starting Right How can preschool help my child learn?

Attending Preschool is becoming increasingly important to the education of young children. Warragamba Preschool provides an inclusive contemporary early learning program for young children from 2 – 6 years.

Preschool education provides children with the foundations for learning, which have benefi ts for children in their early years. Research shows that these benefi ts continue into formal schooling with children who attend a preschool program delivered by a qualifi ed early childhood teacher have higher scores in the NAPLAN in year 3 (DEECD Vic, 2014).

Our preschool curriculum supports children’s learning and development through a holistic, nurturing program that supports each child’s strengths, interests and needs. Our program is planned and delivered by Qualifi ed Educators and Early Childhood Teachers who are skilled in supporting young children to reach their potential.

Our transition to school program is well regarded with our families and local schools. Children who attend Warragamba Preschool are well prepared to start Kindergarten. Our educators support children through all aspects of transitioning to “Big School”.

Our experienced Teachers and Educators are able to provide identify and support children who have unique learning abilities including additional needs programs and children who are gifted and talented.

Children attending our preschool are happy, engaged and develop positive social and self-help skills; positive approaches to learning are enhanced throughout our curriculum. We focus on whole child learning including academics, creativity and building respectful relationships.

Woman Caught High-Range Drink Driving Two Times Within Three Hours

A woman has been caught high-range drink driving twice within three hours.

Around 11.20am (Saturday 14 November 2015), police stopped a Mazda MX5 which was being driven in an erratic manner in the westbound lanes of the M4 at Emu Plains.

The driver, a 61-year-old woman from Mulgoa, was breath-tested, returning a positive indication for alcohol.

She was taken to Penrith Police Station and submitted to a breath analysis test; it returned a reading of 0.252. The woman’s licence was suspended on the spot and she was issued with a fi eld court attendance notice for high-range drink-driving.

Less than three hours later, around 2pm, police again stopped the woman as she drove a Mazda MX5 eastbound along the M4 Motorway at Jamisontown. She failed a roadside breath-test and was taken back to Penrith Police Station for a breath analysis, which returned a reading of 0.222.

She was charged with an additional count of high-range drink-driving, and driving whilst suspended, before being granted conditional bail to appear before Penrith Local Court on 10 December 2015.

Swimming Pool and Spa Safety StatisticsDuring the hot summer months, Australians

love the water which is why it is so important that we all stay safe when we’re in, on, or around it.

The Royal Life Saving website provides statistics that show just how dangerous water can be for small children under 5 years old.

• Drowning is a leading cause of preventable death in children under 5 years of age

• On average, over the last decade, a child under 5 years of age drowns every week in Australia

• For every drowning death it is estimated that three children were admitted to hospital as a result of an immersion incident

• For children under 5 years of age, home swimming pools are the most common site in which drowning occurs

• Children drown all year roundPool and Spa Safety

Actions to help prevent your child from drowning include:

• Active Child Supervision – small children should not be left alone while in or near a swimming pool or spa.

• Ensure your swimming pool or spa has an eff ective fence or approved safety barrier restrictions.

• Check your pool safety barrier regularly and carry out any required maintenance.

• Never block, tie or leave pool gates open.• Keep items away from pool fences that can be used for climbing.• Ensure spas have locking lids where not fenced.• Display a current CPR chart visible from the pool or spa.• If you are unsure about your own pool safety barrier, please contact

Council’s Building Team on 02 4677 1100.

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

‘Tis the Season to (over) SpendI guess it’s my inner child but I just love Christmas! The tree’s, the lights, the buzz of

the crowds and the cheesy music playing in the stores, call me crazy but I love it all!But Christmas can also be expensive. Loan repayments are missed in December and

January more than any other time of year. Credit Card debt also increases signifi cantly and sadly, over spending at Christmas starts a downward spiral that ends in fi nancial ruin for some people.

To avoid a fi nancial hangover the best thing you can do is create a Christmas Budget. It’s really easy and will take you just 10 or 15 minutes. Here’s what you do;

• Write a list of all your Christmas expenses. Include everything, even the wrapping paper and ribbon. Assign a cost for each item.

• Write down the name of everyone you need to buy gifts for.• Make sure you include holiday expenses.• Even if you’re not going away, keeping the kids entertained can be expensive,

so budget for this too.• Once you’ve got everything listed, calculate the total.With total in hand you can then decide if it is manageable. You may choose to fund

some of this amount with a Credit Card and if so, use a card with a low or 0% rate and plan to have it repaid before next Christmas rolls around. Expect to pay 3% of the outstanding debt as minimum repayment, so $150 per month for $5,000.

Our Christmas Budget template includes all of this plus more to help keep costs under control so If you’d like a copy, give us a call on 1300 72 68 48 or email me at [email protected].

The Great Aussie Dream Team would like to wish you all a Happy, Safe and Holy Christmas.

“And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:10-11

COUNSELLING CORNER

Finding Meaning in the Holidays and Christmas

The holidays and Christmas are a time to take a good look around you. They are about fi nding something spiritual and wonderful about yourself, your life, and the people who fi ll it and make it special. Not to just give thanks or show appreciation through some materialistic and commercial sense, but to understand that you have a lot. Despite everything, you are alive, relatively well, and have a life fi lled with people that love you. Yes, you may not realize it or even believe it to be true, but it is nonetheless. You may feel unloveable, unloved, unhappy, stressed out. But those are the simple untruths we tell ourselves every day. The frequency of the telling doesn’t make them come true.

I have no magical answers, no words of wisdom or insight into how you can get to a point in your life where you can feel again- feel true to yourself, feel happiness at the life that you’ve chosen. Except this — that life is a choice we make every single day that we’re alive. How we react and interact with others, the types of relationships we choose to have with our families and friends, the choices of careers, education, and loved ones. These are all conscious choices we make. What we value or don’t value. Choosing to pursue even more materialism in an already materialistic world. It’s your choice.

The world of you is open to your own exploration. This holiday season, while celebrating the special joys of the world; take a moment to celebrate the special joys of you. Because the real secret of the holidays and Christmas is that the love and joy of the season is about the love and joy we can choose to share with one another. You and the love you have to give are what make this world special.

Peace to you.

Heavy BinsWollondilly Shire Council is reminding residents that as we

come into summer, garden organics bins tend to get heavier due to fresh lawn clippings. Most of this weight is in the moisture content of the lawn clippings. Collection trucks are fi tted with a limit switch that will not allow a bin over 80Kg to be lifted.

If your bin is over 80Kg it will not be collected because of excess weight and it will be left on your kerbside and tagged. You will be asked to take some of the items out of the bin so it can be collected. Once the bin weight comes down under 80Kg you can ring the waste hotline on 1800 805 305 (within 2 working days) and the collection truck will return to empty your bin at no additional charge.

Some tips to reduce the weight in your garden organics

bin:

1. Put your garden organics bin out every fortnight, even if it is only partially full. These smaller amounts clump and over progressive weeks can cause your bin to exceed 80Kg.

2. Do not squash grass clippings into the bin. Pushing too much in will increase the weight and moisture content.

3. Purchase an additional Garden Organics Bins. ( $90 per annum)

4. Compost grass clippings and prunings in a compost bay, bin or tumbler. Council runs free composting talks throughout the year.

We also remind residents that bins should be placed out the night before collection or by 6am of the collection day.

For more information about your waste service please phone the waste hotline on 1800 805 305. For courses on composting please contact Council’s Waste Education Offi cer on 46771100.

If you’re sick of being in constant back pain

for your Assessment Session!

Valued at $55Andreas KleinNutritionist &

Remedial TherapistBSc, Adv Dip Nut Med, DRM

I’ve personally developed this technique after 16yrs experience:

“After years of severe back pain I’m now enjoying golf, fully pain free and even started brick-laying again!” – John Hasler, Glenmore Park

“I’d given up really - I’d tried so many things. In just a couple of sessions the pain and muscle spasms had gone. I recommend your

work to anyone.” – Craig Gibson, Richmond

Work & play like you used to after just a few sessions!

It works well for shoulders & knees too.

Diagnosis Facet Joint Disease – Not a Sentence for Eternal Pain

I often see facet joint arthritis on scan reports in clinic. According to some research between 15-45% of neck pain, 48% of thoracic pain and 54-67% lower back pain

can be attributed to facet joint arthritis, while pain may also be referred to areas such as the head, arms, chest wall, buttocks and legs.1

So what are facet joints and why might arthritis cause pain? The picture below shows that individual vertebra are joined to each other by two types of joints: a disc joint; and 2 facet joints.

Facet joints take only a small amount of your bodyweight. Their main job is to guide & limit movement of spine. They prevent excessive rotation & forward bending, and protect vertebrae from sheer (forward-pulling) forces. Facet joints have a good nerve supply and, if they become infl amed due to degenerative changes associated with the wear and tear of age, pain can result. But which type of back pain is actually due to facet joints?

Very careful research on back pain suff erers showed that it was impossible to fi nd ‘clinically’ any ‘typical pattern’ of pain referral due to facet joint arthritis.2 Facet joints ‘can’ be established as the source of some chronic back pain but only via a very complex procedure called a diagnostic block. Otherwise it’s diffi cult to say whether facet joint arthritis is the source of a person’s back pain or not. The best we can do is say ‘maybe’!

Although anti-infl ammatory drugs are often prescribed as fi rst line treatment when facet joint disease is suspected3, radiofrequency neurotomy (cutting the nerve to the joint) or a lumbar facet joint nerve block (anaesthetic injection) are currently the only medically validated treatments for true facet joint pain4 . Importantly, both the diagnosis & the validated treatments are involved & complex, very invasive & not without risk.

Even when anti infl ammatory drugs have failed, many people with facet joint arthritis and back pain typically respond well to muscle elongation therapy. Specifi c manual therapy techniques & dry needling, can reduce pain & infl ammation, and often remove the need for ongoing medications. If you have a problem with back pain why not come talk to us at BHW – see our ad for contact details.

We are pleased to announce we have a new part time veterinarian joining our team.Jennie Smith BVSc (Hons 2)

Jennie grew up in the northern suburbs of Sydney where she fi rst decided she would become a Veterinarian at the age of fi ve.

She spent two years studying Medical Science at the University of Sydney before entering the Veterinary Science degree which she completed in 2000. Early in her career Jennie spent time working in the north of England and in Wales. She was also able to pursue her interest in wildlife by volunteering at the Veterinary Quarantine Centre at Taronga Zoo for two

years. Since this time Jennie has worked at various small animal hospitals in western Sydney.

Jennie is passionate about improving the welfare of animals and making a diff erence to all her patients. She feels all her patients are equally important and strives to make a diff erence through both prevention and treatment.

Jennie is currently working part time as she has two young children, two dogs and a crazy feline who keep her busy the rest of the week.Jill the Puppy Preschool Trainer is Retiring

Jill has been training puppies and adolescent dogs at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital for the last 13-14 years. Jill is retiring to travel around Australia.

Rachel and Lizzie, our veterinary nurses, will be taking over from Jill. They have been trained by Jill for the last month and are undertaking the Delta Dog Training program.

We wish Jill all the best on her travels. We hope that Rachel and Lizzie can have a long and rewarding career in dog training like Jill has done.

We look forward to meeting you and your pets at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital, and please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team.
