Former Safari Park The Perfect Setting For Quality HomesAllam Property Group, one of Sydney’s largest and

most progressive residential development groups, has announced plans for the construction of 447 homes within a new residential estate, Mirragan at Silverdale in New South Wales.

Mirragan is located in a beautiful bushland setting close to the Silverdale and Warragamba villages, taking advantage of the park-like setting of the former Bullen’s African Lion Safari Park, which closed in 1991.

Can you believe we are almost half way through the year? I know it's cliché, but, where did the time go?

As the year races by, we find ourselves in Term 2 of school; Easter has been and gone, with Mothers Day just around the corner. In the blink of an eye it will be the end of financial year and we'll be donning our winter woollies!

We have a jam-packed edition for you this month, with plenty of local stories and information to keep you well informed and ‘up-on’ the latest happenings in and around your community.

Camille reminds us about the RSPCA Million Paws Walk held in May, a wonderful event helping raise funds for animals in need. A great excuse to spend some time outdoors with mans best friend. See page 17 for all the details.

Of course, May is the month of making the most of time with MUM and those dearest and nearest to you with special memories of those gone too soon.

Make yourself a priority once in a while. It's not selfish. It's necessary and you deserve it!

Enjoy your Community News.

Local Resident Erica Berton along with other members of the community, have started work on getting a Retro-Fashion Dressmaking course underway in the local area. While all classes and specifi cs are still in planning, Erica has revealed some interesting information to excite potential participants.

Erica’s intention is to run a four-week dressmaking course on Saturday’s from 10am - 1pm through the months of May and June. The course will hopefully be held at Warragamba Town Hall and the course will come at a cost of approximately $60 per person for the four weeks.

Those who attend will be taught how to adjust and modify clothing to their desired shape and size but will need to buy their own fabric, supplies and patterns.

Erica has expressed that “Many retro fashion pieces are actually rather easy to make.” She hopes to work with many people within the local community and is passionate in helping them to learn how to make their own fashionable pieces. Amongst other styles, the course will include lessons on Circle Skirts and Rockabilly pieces that Erica believes will be rather popular in the course.

Circle Skirts are so simple. They are “2 metres of fabric, 3 seams and a zip” says Erica. Its now all about helping those who participate to take that simple sequence and customize it to their own desired style.

With the classes currently still in planning, more information will be made public as it becomes available.

FAITH – ANGLICAN PARISH OF MULGOA

Article Written + Submitted by:

Parishioner Margaret Sunday Service Times: 8:30am St Thomas’ Mulgoa 10:30am

St Paul’s Warragamba. 7pm Glenmore Park Anglican Church

Early History of St Thomas Mulgoa Anglican Parish Church and School

The first Anglican Church service in the Mulgoa district was held in a barn on February 11th 1827 by Reverend Thomas Hassall. He lived in Cobbity and had such a huge area to cover that he became known as the Galloping Parson.

Mulgoa was one of the richest farming areas in the colony and a fund was set up to build a Church. Edward Cox of Fernhill donated 5 acres of land for the Church and George Cox of Winbourne donated 38 acres for the parsonage.

The foundation stone of the Church was laid on August 22 1836 by Jane Jamison, the 14 year old daughter of Sir John Jamison of Regentville. The beautiful golden sandstone came from the quarry at Fernhill and the Church was built by free labour rather than convict labour which was quite unusual at the time.

The Church was consecrated on September 13 1838 and Reverend Makison became the first resident rector with his wife and children. The Rectory was a two storey Georgian style house with fourteen rooms and was to also be used as a boarding school.

James Hassell published his memoirs in 1902 ‘In Old Australia’ and wrote about his time as a pupil at the Rectory. There were 12 boys as boarders and 3 of the Cox boys as day scholars. He talked of the Cox family kindness and said ‘Mr George Cox allowed me to keep a horse at his place’ and ‘he never forgot us in Fruit season or at picnics.’

There was a terrible drought about 1840 and food was very expensive. ‘Every evening us schoolboys used to satisfy our hunger by gathering wattle gum after school hours and eating at least a couple of pounds each at a time.’

There have been many changes over the years and the Church building and grounds are now owned by the Anglican Schools Corporation with the plan to build a new school in the future.

Local Mulgoa Resident Renae Fenech has offi cially taken over Angelic Hair Studio and is excited to fi nally introduce her very own salon, ‘Hair Envy’.

Renae took over Angelic Hair in March 2016 after working for the salon for just over a year. According to Renae, she has “always had a passion for hair from a very young age”. Acting on her passion, Renae began working in the hair industry. Still living in Mulgoa, Renae feels a sense of connection and gratefulness to be working in such an incredible community. Through her experience at Angelic Hair Studio Renae says “I am so grateful to have [had] the pleasure of meeting so many of our friendly local residents.”

Taking over the previous salon was Renae’s fi rst step in building her own business. She says she has “always wanted to eventually open [her] own salon and this was the perfect opportunity as [she] had already gotten to know all the clients.”

Following the take over, Renae made the decision to change the name of the salon to Hair Envy. She did this in the hope of giving the salon a fresh look and also enhance her sense of ownership of the salon.

Renae has many exciting ideas for her new business including the introduction of incredible products and services that all customers will love. She hopes to continue to build her clientele, while also fulfi lling all their customer needs.

Clients have a lot to look forward to at Hair Envy. A series of new products have made their way into the salon and Renae says she will continue to “make her clients hair looking and feeling beautiful.” She also intends on keeping everyone up to date on the latest hair trends.

Pastor’s CornerThe second Sunday in May is Mother’s Day; a special time

where you can take time to remember the contribution that your Mother made to your life; for some of us that is full of happy memories, but for others that may be more diffi cult. I read this amusing story about one mother:

One summer evening, during a violent thunderstorm, a mother was tucking her small boy into bed. She was about to turn off the light when he asked with a tremor in his voice, “Mommy, will you sleep with me tonight?” The mother smiled and gave him a reassuring hug. “I can’t dear,” she said, “I have to sleep with Daddy.” A long silence was broken at last by a shaken little voice saying, “The big sissy.”

My mother passed away at forty nine years of age, far too young, after a year-long battle with cancer. Sometimes her birth date 13th May will coincide with Mother’s Day. On Mother’s Day in particular, I think of her and her contribution to my life; My Mum taught me to feel loved, safe and secure; to have the courage of my convictions; but also to consider the needs of others.

My Mother was not a lady of great faith in God, she was more of a nominal believer, she would only attend church at Christmas and Easter, plus the occasional special occasion. Each of my three daughters are mothers; similar in some ways to their mother, my beautiful wife, now grandmother to seven, but each daughter brings their own individuality to mothering.

When Jesus was on the Cross dying, the book of John19:26 records ‘When Jesus saw his mother there and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother. “Dear woman here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, the disciple took her into his home.

So Happy Mothers’ Day to all women, whether you are a mother, or whether you are not. Thank you from a grateful man, for your making lives better.

God Bless, Lyndon

WHAT’S COOKING Former Safari Park The Perfect Setting For Quality Homes

continued from pg.1

A Community Information evening at Warragamba Town Hall was held earlier this month for local residents and business owners who wanted to ask questions and hear about the proposed estate. Not only did the session provide further details on the project to the local community, it also allowed them the opportunity to raise broader issues to the Wollondilly Shire Council and State Government.

“Allam is keen to listen to the local community and value the feedback from both residents and businesses,” said Paul Sant, Allam Property Group’s General Manager.

“We are committed to creating a project that compliments the lifestyles of the existing Silverdale and Warragamba communities, and enhances the sense of community living that the suburb is known for.”

Attendees were also particularly pleased to hear how Mirragan will provide the opportunity to link Silverdale and Warragamba communities by a series of cycle and pedestrian paths and new well-managed parkland corridors.

Lined with landscaped streets and parklands spread across the entire community, Mirragan will offer home buyers a choice of single or two-storey home designs, which will be finished to a high quality with great attention to detail and furnishings. The designs will be offered with inclusions such as modern fixtures, floor coverings, ducted air conditioning, and have fully landscaped gardens. There will also be vacant land blocks available for buyers who prefer to build their own homes.

Our Men's Shed is a great place for men to gather, have a chat, a cuppa and if they feel like it, do a bit of "pastime work".

Unfortunately it is a sad time when we lose one of our mates. We have said our fond farewells to Kevin Weston and express our condolences to his family. We will remember him by placing a plaque alongside his former colleagues of this Shed.

Last month was certainly a big month for Luddenham, on the 6th of April the Luddenham Progress Association Members voted to become an Incorporated Association and adopt a new constitution. The Show Society also adopted the recommendations of the “Fit for the Future Subcommittee”, now with ideas to take the Show & the Showground into the future. The proposed improvements are now being costed and they are hopeful of government grants to help.

On the 13th of April over 50 local residents attended a public meeting organised by the Progress Association about our Science Park. Jeremy Spinak from Celestino talked about the development as well as answering many questions; with the construction value estimated to be $2.5billion. The development will be built over a 15 year period with stage 1 (Southern Side closest to Luddenham) starting soon after the fi nal signature is

received, which is expected soon. Looks like it is going ahead.On the 15th of April, Fiona Scott MP organised a meeting

at the Luddenham Showground with Assistant Minister for Cities and Digital Transformation, Angus Taylor MP and Penrith Deputy Mayor Ross Fowler to discuss the future for our local area and its current issues. It was a very productive meeting discussing concerns such as Airport, Railway, Development and Luddenham’s future. The recent redistribution of Federal boundaries means that Angus’s electorate of Hume now covers most of the Luddenham district.

In Early May the Luddenham Progress Association will be delivering petitions to about 150 Luddenham houses that are in Liverpool Council, asking the residents to support the Progresses aim to have the area west of the airport boundary moved into Penrith Council. Luddenham does need to be in one Council and the airport fence would make sense.

Luddenham now has its own Hot Rod Club “The Regency Ramblers” they are based at the Showground and on the 17th of April held a Charity Swap Meet and Show & Shine that was a great success.

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

The word is out that for the second year in a row Luddenham had the Biggest Morning Tea in 2015, rumour also has it that

this years Cuppa for Cancer (to be held on Thursday 26th May) will see all the big wigs from the NSW Cancer Council in attendance this year.

Congratulations to all concerned especially to Jean & Artie. Well Done.

PARENTS CORNER

This month we continue the series on Parent Traps that we started last month.

‘Escalation traps’ are one of the most common type of parent traps, and involve ‘child escalation’ and ‘parent escalation’. Child Escalation

When children want something and don’t get it, they can learn that by escalating in their behaviour or emotions (hitting, crying, whining, nagging) they can get what they want. For example, a child wants a lolly in the supermarket. Although you say ‘no’ the child gets louder and more demanding, and you give in to avoid the fuss and judgement from other people in the store.

What is my child learning from this?Parent Escalation

When parents want something from their children they can escalate (nagging, shouting) to get the child to complete the task. For example, you want the child to switch off the computer and come to dinner. You ask several times and each time gets louder. You get to the point where you are screaming at your child, counting, or making threats and demands. This is where the parent says “my child never listens to me”.

What is my child learning from this?Combination of Parent and Child Escalation

Yes, you can have a combination of child and parent escalation. The parent escalates in response to the child’s escalation, and fairly soon tempers are frayed, feelings are hurt, and nothing productive or helpful has been achieved. Remedy?

Give clear, calm instructions. Stay calm, and follow through, so that your child knows that when you say ‘no’ you mean ‘no’ and when you want something done it gets done within a reasonable time frame without a fuss. And as always, continue to build a strong relationship with your child based on love, nurture and trust, because the strength of the relationship determines how much your child will listen and respond to you.Struggling?

The Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) parenting course is available free in the community (http://www.resourcingparents.nsw.gov.au/). Triple P Online is available for the cost of $80.

Who will be ready for school next year, and who will benefi t from another year at preschool?

Parents frequently worry over this decision and often turn to preschool educators, carers and other parents for advice. While there is no simple answer, it’s generally agreed that children must be socially and emotionally mature enough to cope with the extra demands of school. Each child develops at a diff erent rate, and many will undergo huge changes between now and next January.

Starting school is a time of change for children and for families, as they experience a set of demands and make adjustments to meet those demands. There are three levels of change which impact on how children and families experience their transition to school phase;

Individual Level: The major change children report is that they are ‘big’ and now at ‘big school’. Adjusting to a range of school

expectations about attendance, uniform, possible involvement at school and homework

Relationship Level: as some relationships are lost, others are built between and among children, families and school staff . Building these relationships may require new strategies—for example, communicating with teachers at school can be diff erent from communicating with educators in prior-to-school settings.

Contextual Level: When children start school, families need to coordinate school, family and work responsibilities. Making sure that children are at school at specifi c times may mean that schedules for other family members need to change. This can be quite challenging if diff erent children attend diff erent schools, or if work, family and school schedules confl ict.

The Educators at Warragamba Preschool are aware of these changes and are well placed to create responsive and supportive educational environments for all involved in the transition to school.

School readiness is not just about being able to read or write or count. Readiness is also about emotional and social maturity. Some of the issues parents and educators need to address:

• Can they make an independent decision and follow through on this?

• Do they have ideas of their own?• Can they follow two or three instructions at the same

time?• Do they separate well from their carer?• Do they show interest in other kids?• Do they interact with other children?• Can they recognise and express their feelings and needs?• Can they concentrate on a task?As children grow and develop, families make adjustments

and changes. One of the major adjustments families make is in response to children starting school. Starting school can be stressful for children. The buildings are bigger, there are more children and they are the smallest in the playground. There are fewer adults and more rules which they don’t know and for many the classroom will be more formal.

Warragamba Preschool has many resources to assist parents and carers in helping children make the transition from preschool to primary school. If you would like further information on school readiness, please contact Warragamba Preschool 4774 1249.

work to anyone.” – Craig Gibson, Richmond

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

HEALTH MATTERS

Could Your Diabetes be Causing Your Back Pain?

An estimated 917,000 (5.4%) Australian adults have diabetes of some type today. Self-reported diabetes more than doubled from 1.5% in 1989–90 to 4.2% in 2011-121. Importantly having diabetes greatly increases your risk for many back problems including:

1. Lumbar and cervical disc hernation2,3 (the old slipped disc)2. Lumbar disc infections and infl ammation4 which is

associated with3. Increased degenerative (Modic) changes to your vertebra4. If you require a back operation the likelihood of:

a. Success is much lower in diabetics,b. Further disc herniation is greatly increased5 and,

5. People with degenerative (type 1 Modic) changes show much poorer improvement levels6

So how does this happen? Most diabetics today have Type 2 diabetes, basically a dietary defi ciency disease. Vitamins, minerals and other vital substances help the body build strong discs and vertebrae. With poor nutrition discs and bones (which are continually rebuilt) slowly become weaker. Eventually you lift something and a weakened disc herniates. A herniated disc develops blood vessels (as it repairs). These new vessels bring bacteria to settle in the disc. Now you have an infection which leads to further back issues. This is much more likely in diabetics because excess glucose in the blood (hyperglycaemia) negatively eff ects overall immunity & hyperglycaemia makes infections more likely by:

1. Reducing white blood cells to infection fi ghting capacity so helping microbes to thrive in the body

2. Making skin (one of the key barriers in innate immunity) less competent

3. Negatively aff ecting the body’s ability to respond to antimicrobial therapy7

So now, as a diabetic you’ve set things up such that your chances of getting and keeping a back problem are quite high. Many of our patients with back problems also have diabetes. Now you can see why. The diagram below details changes we see in many of our diabetic patients with back pain. For these people clinical nutrition helps control (type 1) and regress (type 2) diabetes, while muscle elongation therapy treats their back issues. If you have unresolved back pain or diabetes, why not come talk to us at BHW - see our ad for contact details.

The RSPCA Million Paws Walk is in its 22nd year and is a great way to raise money for animals in need.

The Million Paws Walk is an incredible day out for all animal lovers. But it's more than just a regular walk! Tens of thousands of people and their four-

legged companions all across Australia take part in this fantastic event every year, joining together to fi ght animal cruelty.

The Million Paws Walk will take place on Sunday 15th May 2016, and will be held in 20 diff erent locations across New South Wales, meaning you're sure to fi nd a location near you! The closest location to Penrith are Katoomba and Sydney Olympic Park. Go to the RSPCA website at http://www.millionpawswalk.com.au/New_South_Wales to get further information on the location, contact details, parking, pricing, timing and venue details.

The walk is RSPCA NSW's biggest annual event, and money raised through activities on the day, donations, merchandise sales, and online fundraising, is critical in supporting RSPCA NSW's work. Your generous eff orts assist with the care of more than 35,000 animals who enter the shelters each and every year.

Every year, the RSPCA NSW cares for and protects our state’s neglected, abused, injured and strayed animals. Last year, a staggering 46,558 animals came to the RSPCA NSW for help.

The RSPCA is NOT an agency of the Australian Government and therefore relies on the generosity of the community to continue it’s vital daily work. Along with shelters, volunteer branches and Inspectors, they also fund an education team that visits schools, universities and community groups to educate the importance of treating all living things with kindness. Thank you for making the RSPCA NSW your charity of choice.

All animal lovers are encouraged to dust off their walking shoes and come down on the day to enjoy the festivities, even those without pooches of their own. The day will off er plenty of fun activities, competitions, food, and of course, the walk!

Check out our website for more information www.orchardhillsvet.com.au or join us on Facebook.

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.
