Puppy Love Meets Pilates Puppies, Pilates and plenty of laughter are proving to be a popular combination, with Hustled Pilates bringing a playful twist to traditional exercise classes across Western Sydney. Chloe Carpenter of Hustled Pilates said Puppy Pilates offered participants the chance to enjoy a gentle workout while spending time with adorable puppies in a relaxed, welcoming environment. During the sessions, puppies are free to wander around, play and interact with participants, often interrupting exercises along the way. Chloe said the classes were designed to be beginner-friendly, meaning participants did not need any previous Pilates experience to take part. “I think people are really looking for experiences that are a little different and give them an opportunity to switch off from everyday life,” she said. “Puppies naturally make people happy, and combining that with movement creates such a positive atmosphere.” Rather than focusing on achieving the perfect workout, Chloe said the sessions were about having fun, meeting new people and enjoying the moment. Participants could attend with friends or family or come along on their own and still feel comfortable, making the events an

opportunity to build connections as well as enjoy some exercise. For Chloe, one of the most rewarding aspects of hosting Puppy Pilates was seeing the positive response from participants. “There’s something really special about watching a room full of people laughing, smiling and genuinely enjoying themselves,” she said. Chloe said the events also helped Hustled Pilates build a stronger community beyond its regular classes, with the puppies providing an added bonus. Puppy Pilates sessions are held at Hustled Pilates in St Marys and Morfit PT in Silverdale. Booking details and future dates are announced through the businesses’ social media pages. Looking ahead, Chloe hoped to expand Puppy Pilates into a more regular event across the locations, while exploring collaborations with local breeders and businesses. She said Hustled Pilates aimed to create an inclusive community where people of all fitness levels felt welcome. “Puppy Pilates is a perfect example of that. It’s about so much more than exercise. It’s about connection, happiness and making memories,” Chloe said. She also thanked the local community for supporting the events and helping bring new experiences to Western Sydney.

Cranebrook Kids Run Club Builds Community

A simple idea to get children moving has grown into a welcoming community initiative, with Cranebrook Kids Run Club (CKRC) helping young people build fitness, confidence and friendships. Started in October 2025 by local mum of three Rebecca Camilleri, the free running club began with her son and a few friends going for runs before gradually developing into a weekly activity for children and families across the Penrith region. Rebecca said the club was about much more than running, with its motto, “Bringing the community together, one step at a time”, reflecting its focus on inclusion, encouragement and participation. “I genuinely believe children are so important to our society, and kindness is absolutely free,” she said. “If we can teach our children to encourage one another, include others and celebrate each other’s achievements, I think that’s something really valuable.” The club welcomes children aged four to 16, regardless of fitness level or running experience. Participants can choose from different distances suited to their abilities, with games,

challenges and activities helping keep sessions enjoyable. There are no membership fees, trials or pressure to perform, and children are encouraged to participate at their own pace. Rebecca said one of the most rewarding aspects had been seeing children from different schools form friendships, with parents reporting improvements in confidence, fitness and performance in other sports and school cross-country events. The club has previously held sessions around Cranebrook and Jordan Springs, including Jordan Springs Lake, local parks and neighbourhood walking tracks. As attendance has grown, weekly Monday sessions have moved to 5pm at the Sydney International Regatta Centre in Penrith, providing more space for families and children of varying abilities. CKRC has also received support from local businesses, including Beau Cook from Loan Market, who donated more than 50 running shirts for participating children. Rebecca hopes to build further community partnerships, introduce new activities and create opportunities for children to participate in local running events, while keeping the club free and inclusive. Parents and carers are encouraged to attend and remain responsible for supervising their children. Families interested in joining can find weekly updates and contact details on Instagram at @ckrc2025. The account is private, with follow requests personally reviewed to help protect children’s privacy. For Rebecca, the club’s success is measured not by race times or distances, but by children making friends, supporting one another and leaving each session feeling proud of what they have achieved.

Movember Calls on Aussies to Make a Growmitment for Men’s Health This November, Movember is calling on Australians to Make a Growmitment, challenging mates to make a commitment together and turn good intentions into action for men’s health. Whether it’s growing a moustache, moving 60km throughout the month, hosting a fundraising event or finding another way to get involved, the message is simple: make a commitment with a mate, back each other to follow through and help change the face of men’s health. The idea draws on Movember’s origins in 2003, when two mates challenged each other to grow moustaches and inspired 30 friends to join them. More than two decades later, that same spirit of mateship remains at the heart of the movement. Movember’s Make a Growmitment campaign taps into the power of shared commitments and a little friendly peer pressure. By involving a mate, Australians can help keep each other motivated, stay accountable and make taking action for men’s health part of their plans for November. There are plenty of ways to Make a Growmitment this Movember: • Grow a Mo: Start clean-shaven on 1 November and grow a moustache throughout the month to spark conversations

about men’s health. • Move 60km: Move 60km over November, representing the 60 men lost to suicide globally every hour, to support mental health and suicide prevention. • Host an event: Bring friends, family or colleagues together to fundraise and raise awareness for men’s health. • Mo Your Own Way: Take on a personal challenge that works for you, from a creative fundraiser to a goal you and your mates can tackle together. Australians can sign up individually or rally their mates, family and workmates to join them. Every commitment is an opportunity to start conversations, raise funds and help Movember fund vital men’s health projects across mental health and suicide prevention, prostate cancer and testicular cancer. The campaign also features a series of talent collaborations, including Adult Swim’s Rick & Morty and Australian comedians Aaron Chen and John Crunkshank, who are getting involved by taking on the moustache challenge. More collaborations will roll out throughout November. Men die nearly five years earlier than women, on average, and many of the health issues contributing to this gap are preventable. Movember is working to change this by funding research, delivering health programmes and encouraging more open conversations about men’s health. This November, Australians are encouraged to make their commitment, bring a mate along and help make a difference.

PROBUS CLUB Article Written + Submitted by: The Probus Club of Jordan Springs E: probusjordansprings@gmail.com W: probussouthpacific.org/microsites/jordansprings October’s burst of delightful warmer weather seemed to be competing with the warmth of friendship and laughter shared by our members as we cruised our glorious Sydney Harbour, all accompanied by a marvellous buffet lunch and a beverage of our choice! The fun continued with our regular Trivia Nights at Brooks Tavern – always filled with lots of laughter and even some prizes! Never underestimate the combined knowledge and experience of a group of retirees! Thursday Craft Mornings also highlighted the wide range of experience and talents we are willing to share with each other. Another fun night was dinner at Penrith Paceway for a “Night at the Trots”, all enhanced by the balmy weather! Our best day in October was our Monthly Meeting, where we celebrated the Golden Anniversary of Probus with a morning of widely varied fun and games, creating HEAPS of laughter! The extraordinary morning tea spread raised many oohs and aahs of approval. The wide variety of delicious food perfectly illustrated the diversity of our lovely members. Moving into November, we are continuing some of our historical explorations with a visit and tour of The Female Factory in Parramatta (followed by lunch, of course!). As many Australians have direct ancestral links to this colonial institution, we look forward to gaining a deeper understanding and appreciation of both our national and personal histories. Our regular Trivia Nights, Craft Mornings, Long Lunches and Monthly Meeting will fill out November as we head steadily towards Christmas and the summer holidays. Our 2027 plans are well underway, so come and join us to find out more. Visitors are always welcome. Jordan Springs Probus is a purely social club, catering specifically for semi-retired and fully retired people. Throughout 2026, we meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Jordan Springs Community Hub, 2–6 Cullen Ave, Jordan Springs. Arrive at 9:45 am for a 10:00 am start. For more information, contact Keith on 02 9713 9038, Annie on 0409 230 753, or email us at probusjordansprings@gmail.com. r Ready to Board Cruise | Image Supplied by Kim Leard

Does Exercise Improve Bone Density? If so, Which Exercises and Why

Yes, exercise improves bone density in post-menopausal women and older men. Doing the right exercises regularly is the key. Even small changes in bone density (BMD) improve bone strength substantially at sites where exercise puts stress on bone. Here are some examples. 1. 20-year-old women who did 10 x two-legged maximum vertical jumps, 8–12 seconds apart, 3 times per week for 6 months showed significantly increased BMD at the femoral neck and lumbar spine compared to controls. 2. Simple skipping, bounding and depth jumping exercises done 6 days per week for 1 year were effective for reversing bone loss in menopausal women. 3. Five years of resistance training with a weighted vest and an average of 51.7 jumps per day, 3 times per week, from a 20.3 cm-high step improved femoral neck bone density compared with a control group in postmenopausal women aged 64.1–69.9 years. 4. Men with prostate cancer who undergo androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) usually lose significant bone mass, as testosterone helps to keep bones strong. A recent 6-month study of men on ADT showed that those who did

no special exercise lost 3.2% of lumbar bone density. A second group completing a combination of resistance and aerobic exercise also lost 2.6%, while those who completed a combination of resistance training and impact-loading exercises, such as hopping, skipping and jumping, exhibited no significant change in bone mineral density over the same time period. Clearly, high-impact exercises like jumping are highly important for bone density. Exercise activates something called the piezoelectric effect, i.e. exercise stress deforms bone collagen, causing tiny electrical charges to move from the inside to the outside surface of bone at the site of stress (the piezoelectric effect). This electrical activity attracts bone-building cells (osteoblasts), and they deposit more bone (calcium and collagen) at the site of bone stress, increasing bone density and strength. This effect is maximised by high-impact exercises: hopping, skipping and jumping. These forms of exercise, rather than simple weight training or aerobic exercise, are the ones you will need to do regularly to build bone. By building up carefully, with supervision, you’ll be surprised how easy these exercises are to do safely, even for older people. r ** Refer to submitter for references

Jordan Springs Inspires Poet’s Debut Collection

Long before Jordan Springs became the thriving community it is today, Nancy Messina was there, pen in hand, witnessing history in the making. Now, she has turned those memories, and a lifetime of personal reflection, into poetry. Simply Poetry… Volume 1 is Nancy’s debut collection, a book that weaves together two threads: her heartfelt observations from the very earliest days of Jordan Springs, and personal poems about the broader journey of life: its joys, its sorrows, and everything in between. “This volume has beautiful, significant poems from the initial release of Jordan Springs, the brand new community, back in 2010,” Nancy explains, “as well as my personal heartfelt poems about life in general.” The poems didn’t arrive overnight. Nancy has been writing across many years, including during the significant period when she worked for Lend Lease as the very first Sales Consultant to

introduce Jordan Springs to the Penrith region. It was a role she cherished. “I enjoyed working at Jordan Springs as it was a challenge in the beginning,” she says. “Jordan Springs was a new beginning, and I am honoured to have been part of this exciting period of history in the making.” The collection reflects Nancy’s deep belief in the power of growth and renewal. “I always believe in the evolving of life, creating new amongst the present,” she says. That philosophy runs through the poems themselves, which describe life’s journey as it is truly lived: sometimes happily, sometimes sadly, always meaningfully. Nancy’s hope is that readers, especially those who now call Jordan Springs home, will find something of themselves in the pages. “I hope that everyone can relate wholeheartedly with my poetry as they read them,” she says, “especially anyone that now lives at Jordan Springs and appreciates the creation and the history of their beautiful community.” As for future volumes, Nancy is keeping her options open. “I never say never,” she smiles. Simply Poetry… Volume 1 by Nancy Messina is available now through Amazon and Kindle and can be searched on Google.

Tickets are on sale now and launch pricing includes one-way adult tickets from WSI to Parramatta CBD for $25, to Sydney City for $55, or to Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport for $65. Bookings and further information is available at https://www. supershuttle.com.au/wsi/bookings. WSI CEO Simon Hickey said the new five-year partnership would further expand the choice and flexibility available to passengers travelling to and from Sydney’s new 24-hour airport, strengthening the range of convenient travel options from public bus links, car hire, taxi, rideshare, and expansive onsite parking. “With the launch of passenger services from 25 October, we’re thrilled to announce Super Shuttle WSI’s express and direct shuttle bus services - available to passengers from the first flight,” he said. “Our focus is on making every stage of the journey as smooth and straightforward as possible, including travel to and from the airport. Passengers will be able to enjoy a great onboard experience including luggage racks, dedicated space for prams and wheelchairs, and exclusive bus bays for boarding and disembarking at the airport. “Super Shuttle WSI will provide a comfortable and convenient connection between WSI and some of Sydney’s major transport centres, no matter what time of day or night you are arriving or departing.” Services will initially be scheduled to align with arriving and departing flights, helping passengers move seamlessly between WSI and Sydney’s major commercial and transport centres. NSBC Group Chief Commercial Officer Paul Anderson said WSI passengers would benefit from the electric, low-floor bus fleet, with each bus including capacity for 37 passengers, additional standing, and space to accommodate two wheelchair users. “We are pleased to offer this highly convenient private shuttle service to passengers from when the first flights take off from WSI on October 25, aligned across WSI’s evolving flight schedule,” he said. “It’s especially great to be able to offer discounted prices for the launch of Super Shuttle WSI – including for adults, children, and families travelling together. The direct, express nature of our services will deliver passengers to the hearts of the Parramatta and Sydney CBDs, as well as Sydney Kingsford-Smith Airport, with a comfortable, efficient and reliable service.” From the launch of passenger services on 25 October 2026, tickets will also be available at kiosks in and around the WSI airport terminal, offering a convenient timetable with widespread connectivity.

Penrith Student Takes Western Sydney Health Concerns to the National Stage Penrith’s 2026 Young Citizen of the Year has taken her passion for healthcare advocacy from Western Sydney to Parliament House after being selected from more than 2,200 applicants for Australia’s inaugural National Youth Parliament. Penrith Anglican College student Ella Johnson was one of just 150 secondary students chosen nationally, with one participant selected to represent each federal electorate. During the five-day program in Canberra, Ella used her adjournment speech to call for improvements to healthcare for people in Western Sydney and also contributed to debate about affordable housing. For Ella, the issue is personal. Her own experiences navigating the health system have helped shape her interest in patient voice and in how health services communicate with young people and families. “Health advocacy is something I am passionate about and I appreciated the opportunity to speak about ways to make healthcare more accessible,” Ella said. “I am passionate about speaking up for those who may not have a voice and helping to create a healthcare system where people feel heard, supported and valued.” Ella is already putting that commitment into practice as a Youth Council Member for the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network, working with other young people to help improve the experiences of children and families accessing healthcare services. She has also contributed to the NSW Health Website Information Refresh project, served on the judging panel for the Children’s and Young People’s Choice Awards within the Sydney Children’s Hospitals Network and recently joined the University of Sydney SPARKY Youth Advisory Group. Reflecting on the Canberra experience, Ella said: “One of the highlights was taking part in the debates, where I was able to discuss important issues and hear a range of perspectives from young people across the country,” she said.

Closer to home, Penrith City Council had already named Ella its 2026 Young Citizen of the Year in recognition of her community contribution and advocacy. Later in August, she was also one of 25 young people from across NSW recognised with an Order of Australia Association NSW Branch Youth Community Service Award. Penrith Anglican College nominated Ella for the statewide award in recognition of her sustained commitment to serving others. At a ceremony at Government House on 20 August, Ella received the award from Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of New South Wales, with Penrith Anglican College Principal Mrs Felicity Grima joining Ella for the occasion. “I was both honoured and humbled to receive the award,” Ella said. “Hearing the other award recipients’ stories has encouraged me to continue serving others and make a positive difference.” Ella’s wider community involvement includes six years of participation in Ronald McDonald House Charities’ Dance for Sick Kids fundraiser, fundraising for the National Breast Cancer Foundation and a range of service, wellbeing and environmental initiatives through Penrith Anglican College. “What motivates me most is the opportunity to help others,” Ella said. “I have experienced the kindness and support of many people throughout my life, and I feel privileged to be able to give back to my community and contribute in a meaningful way.” Ella also credits Penrith Anglican College with encouraging her to develop her strengths and use them in service of others. “The College has provided so many opportunities for growth, leadership and service. It has always encouraged students to look beyond ourselves, develop our strengths and use them to make a positive impact on others,” she said. Looking ahead, Ella hopes to pursue a career in healthcare and continue advocating for people who may struggle to make themselves heard. “My goal is to keep speaking up for people and look for more opportunities in the community and at school where I can be involved,” she said.

FAITH – COMMUNITY CHURCH JORDAN SPRINGS Article Written + Submitted by: Pastor Heath Whiley A: Jordan Springs Community Hub P: 0402 712 972 W: www.mosaiccommunitychurch.com.au Service Times: 6pm Wednesday

Ancient Wisdom for Today – Artificial Intelligence & the Human Heart We have taught machines to answer our questions, yet they return us to the oldest question: What does it mean to be human? Our fascination with artificial intelligence reveals more than an appetite for efficiency. We want someone who listens without weariness, understands without misunderstanding, and remains when others leave. Beneath the glowing screen lies an ancient longing: to be known and loved. Ecclesiastes says God “has put eternity into man’s heart” (3:11). We long for meaning that outlasts us, yet cannot comprehend God’s work. More knowledge cannot erase our limitations. Reflecting on toil, Ecclesiastes says, “two are better than one” (4:9): when we fall, we need someone to help us rise. But fluent language does not establish personhood. A machine can compose words of compassion without bearing the cost of compassion. It can describe forgiveness without being wounded. We must ask whether our hunger for simulated companionship exposes the poverty of our relationships. The Christian gospel speaks into that hunger. We are made in God’s image, possessing a dignity that neither intelligence nor usefulness can measure. The infant, the forgotten elderly person, and the wounded mind bear that dignity. God has answered our loneliness through His Son, who entered our suffering and gave Himself for us. AI may help us accomplish remarkable things. Yet its deepest gift may be to awaken a question technology cannot settle: Why do hearts carrying eternity still ache to be loved? Christ welcomes them.

Modern Progress, Conscience and the Hope of Faith The changes that have been and are being made with the advancements in communication, transport, health care, etc., exercise our wonder. Who would have thought a hundred years ago that man would walk on the moon, or that in 2015, after 10 years of travel, a space camera would meet Pluto at the ‘end’ of space as we currently perceive it? From the ‘horse and buggy’ days to life today, the young student looking to the future is challenged with exciting careers in science and business. Yet, for all this, the social problems remain: war, poverty, thieving, violence, etc., remain part and parcel of life. Why? Maybe because sin, that often-maligned word, is still master in many situations. Sin is that which depreciates life, humans working against the common good. There is a beautiful statement in the Anglican Prayer Book which prays, “God desires not the death of a sinner but rather that he may turn and live.” A powerful statement when conscience is not dumbed down by refusal to consider. Conscience has a major factor: ‘the moral sense’, where the rule of right conduct is the dominating factor. Directed to the person, it is where change can occur for better or worse. Often, conscience is spoken of as having a ‘voice’ that dictates the sense of responsibility and obligation. But conscience has a strong negative side, where it can be exhausted and stifled by habits of sin. These work towards a total depreciation of life when the individual fails to reflect: ‘turn that you may live.’ Yet again, faith is the utility that provides meaning to the reality of life, providing a glorious hope that, in the end, all will be summed up in Christ Jesus. It is in the message of Jesus that we find the harmony of life, the cosmos, and the Creator.

Snake Season: Keeping Pets Safe If you follow local community pages, you may have noticed that snake sightings are becoming an almost daily occurrence across the Penrith region. Brown snakes are regularly being reported along the River Walk and around the lagoons in Jordan Springs, serving as a timely reminder that snake season is well and truly here. As temperatures rise, snakes become more active as they search for food and suitable places to shelter. For pet owners, this means taking extra care when walking dogs or allowing pets outdoors. Snakes generally prefer to avoid people and animals, but our pets don’t always give them the opportunity to slither away. Curious dogs may chase or investigate a snake, while cats can come across them while exploring or hunting. What starts as curiosity or play can quickly become a life-threatening encounter. In the Penrith region, eastern brown snakes and red-bellied black snakes are among the venomous species pet owners may encounter. Their venom affects animals in different ways. Brown snake bites can cause weakness, trembling, collapse and problems with the nervous system, while red-bellied black snake venom can damage red blood cells and may result in anaemia, weakness and dark-coloured urine. However, symptoms can vary and a bite from either species can be fatal without prompt treatment. Knowing the warning signs is important. A snake-bitten pet may develop dilated pupils, trembling, drooling, vomiting, pale gums, weakness or sudden collapse. Some animals may initially appear to recover after collapsing, only to become seriously

unwell several hours later. This apparent improvement should never be taken as a sign that everything is fine. If you believe your pet has encountered a snake, don’t wait for symptoms to develop. Seek veterinary attention immediately. Keep your pet as quiet and still as possible and minimise movement, as activity can encourage venom to spread through the body. Veterinary treatment may include initial blood testing followed by antivenom, intravenous fluids, oxygen or other supportive care, together with close monitoring in hospital. When the type of snake is unknown, treatment may involve using a combination of antivenoms. Treatment can be costly and, even with intensive veterinary care, complications such as kidney damage and other serious conditions can occur. Prevention is also important. Keep grass and vegetation around your property maintained, remove potential hiding places where possible, and supervise pets when they are outside. Take particular care around long grass, bushland, waterways, lagoons and areas where snakes have recently been reported. If your pet has chased, caught or played with a snake — even if you cannot see an obvious bite and your pet seems perfectly normal — treat it as an emergency and contact your veterinarian immediately.

THE LAST WORD

Emergency Services

November has a way of changing the rhythm of local life. The days are getting longer, the weather is warming up and there is a definite feeling that Christmas is just around the corner. Weekends seem to fill themselves, calendars become busier and everyone starts thinking about celebrations, end of year plans and what still needs to be ticked off the list. It is also a great time to look around our own neighbourhoods and support the people who help make them thrive. Whether it is grabbing a coffee locally, shopping with an independent business, booking a service with someone from the area or simply recommending a local business to a friend, those small choices can make a real difference. And then there are neighbours. The good ones make a neighbourhood feel like a community. The ones who lend a hand, keep an eye out, share a friendly hello and occasionally even return the bin without being asked. Every neighbourhood has its characters, but thankfully the good ones tend to make up for the occasional rogue resident! At District Gazette, we love bringing those local stories to our readers and celebrating what makes our communities special. “Kindness is the one thing that makes a neighbourhood feel like home.”
