Junior Council Meeting â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Just Like The Real Thing!

ď ˛ď&#x20AC; There was some spirited debate in Council Chambers recently when the Junior Councillors took centre stage.

There was spirited debate in Council Chambers recently when the 2015 Junior Council Meeting was held. The Junior Councillors debated two topics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Making Better Playgrounds, Parks and Sporting Fields and Amalgamation of Penrith Council with another Council. The result of their debates showed that the Junior Councillors did not want to reduce the number of sporting fields in the city and that they wanted Penrith Council to remain as a single entity. Penrith Mayor Councillor Ross Fowler, OAM was impressed with all the Junior Councillors who spoke at the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The meeting was chaired by Junior Mayor Jesse Penza of Holy Family School in Luddenham and she did a tremendous job,â&#x20AC;? Cr Fowler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students were all excellent public speakers and had well-rounded arguments to support their case. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of the best Junior Council meeting Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been involved with and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing them for 14 years.â&#x20AC;? A record number of schools entered the competition this year with Council receiving more than 150 entries from 21 schools in the Penrith Local Government Area. Continued pg. 8.

What is Happening in Your Local Anglican Parish? Last month St Thomas’ at Mulgoa and St Paul’s at Warragamba were delighted to welcome Libby Leach, a CMS missionary to services at both churches. Libby has been a CMS missionary for eighteen and a half years and she was able to share with both the Churches about her very challenging and interesting gospel work in Paris and particularly the work she has been undertaking with university students. Also last month, the Parish held a combined service at St Thomas’. The Bishop of Western Sydney, the Right Reverend Ivan Lee will preside over this year’s Confirmation service. It is always a delight to host a visit from our Regional Bishop. For all of us it will be a very joyous occasion. Both churches would welcome newcomers so please take up the invitation to come and be involved in one of your local Anglican churches. Sunday Service Times: 8.30am Mulgoa and 10.30am at Warragamba.

Leura in Spring – It’s Magic!

Image Supplied

The Leura Gardens Festival, now in its 51st year, is a must-visit attraction for gardeners from all over Australia. And with the sad ending of the long-running Open Gardens Australia, many gardeners are looking to Leura to provide their necessary “gardening fix” for the year. This year’s Leura Gardens Festival will take place from Saturday, October 3 to Sunday, October 11, 2015. Visitors are this year being invited to experience the magic of Spring in the beautiful Blue Mountains. Ten wonderful Leura gardens will be open for the festival, including two brand new to the festival, two returning after a break, plus several magical old favourites. And in an exclusive offer for tour groups, special garden viewings are available for groups of 20+ people in the five days (Monday, September 28 – Friday, October 2, 2015) prior to the main festival. Three of these gardens will only be open in the pre-festival period. Visitors to the main festival can also enjoy the always-popular music programme, this year featuring several new performers, and an art show highlighting works done by local artists depicting the festival gardens. Visitors can also take advantage of the excellent prices at the festival plant sales centre which will offer many exotic and native plants which are hard to get elsewhere. Plants are sourced from a wide variety of nurseries so visitors from any climate should be able to find some treasures to suit their particular conditions. The Leura Gardens Festival is a registered charity totally run by local volunteers. All funds raised are used to purchase equipment for the Blue Mountains District Anzac Memorial Hospital as well as supporting other local medical organisations. More details of this not-to-be missed event for garden lovers are available on our website at www.leuragardensfestival.com. au or phone 0431 095 279.


Miracles Do Happen: A Night For The Lewin Family

The Lewin Family. Images Supplied.

On September 18 last year, Katrina Lewin, wife to Craig and mother of three beautiful children; Matthew, 13, Joshua, 11 and Tahlee, 6, from Silverdale, was thrown the biggest fight of her life when she collapsed with a brain aneurysm. The weeks and months ahead for Katrina were so fragile, but she fought and fought and never gave up. Her incredible determination along with her wonderful supporting family and friends who were beside her all the time brought her back…a walking miracle. Katrina defeated the odds and surprised the doctors. It was a miracle that she was able to walk out of the hospital, but she did with brain damage and the loss of sight in her left eye. Recently Katrina received the news she has another aneurysm on the other side of her brain. Katrina and Craig now face the agonising decision whether to proceed with life threatening surgery, or leave it in the hands of the gods. Craig, Katrina’s husband, has given up work to be her full time carer and this unfortunately has taken a financial toll on their family. Together with Holy Family Primary School, they are holding a major benefit night in honour of the Lewin Family. Appropriately named ‘Miracles Do Happen’. The night is set for Saturday, September 12, 2015 from 6:30pm to 11:30pm at Penrith Rugby League Club, in ‘The Chairman’s Lounge’, Pepper Stadium. The

MC for the event will be Lars Peterson from WSFM with live music provided by Percy and Steve. The cost is $120 per person tickets went on sale from the 1st July. Some of the prizes on offer will include fantastic weekends away, generous service and luxury vouchers and NRL, Cricket Australia, Football NSW and English Premier League sports memorabilia in the auction. If you can help in the form of sponsorship or donations of any kind, they would love to hear from you. The family would particularly like to thank their children’s schools and sporting clubs for their valuable support; Matthew’s school, St Dominics College and his sports club, Emu Plains Junior Rugby League; Joshua and Tahlee’s school, Holy Family Primary School, as well as the Warragamba Wombats, Austral City Bears and InMotion Danceworks at Silverdale. For details, you can contact Monica Macri on 0407 616414, Lisa Blackhurst on 0409 184468, Melinda Mandarano on 0410 478756 or Holy Family Primary School in Luddenham on 4773 4485. “We want this night to be fun, together with the celebration of the survival of this amazing woman, Katrina. She is truly a walking miracle…” said Lisa Blackhurst.

FAITH â&#x20AC;&#x201C; WARRAGAMBA BAPTIST CHURCH Article by: Lyndon Rumsey P: 4774 1476 M: 0417174455 W: www.warragambabaptist.org.au Sunday Service: 9.30 am

Pastors Corner Have you ever felt all alone? I think most of us have, at some time or another. It is not a great feeling, and so often at the same time, there are people all around us; it is so easy to feel lonely in a crowd. What is it about loneliness, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about proximity to other people? Certainly it is about feeling valued and accepted by others, knowing that other people care about you; at one extreme of those emotions they love you. All of us have challenges in life, sometimes we share those difficult moments with others, and at times we face them on our own. Is loneliness, more about being understood? Is another person ever able to understand what you have are going through at this point of time? Or are they able to understand the pain you feel from past experiences, the loss of those that you loved? What I do know about loneliness is that it wears you down it leaves you vulnerable to being hurt, misunderstood, worse still being abused by others. I have found that the Bible so often covers way that I feel: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll recover your life. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with meâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll learn to live freely and lightly.â&#x20AC;? (Matthew 11:28 The Message). At Warragamba Baptist, we are building a church family, where you can find love, acceptance and people that will listen and care for you. Loneliness cannot be overcome, unless you do something about it, take time to visit us, take time to know the one who loves you above all else, Jesus Christ. God bless, Lyndon Rumsey (Article submitted and written by)

PARENTS CORNER

Temporary Move for Picton Library

Article by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) Nepean Community & Neighbourhood Services P: 0409 986121 or 47218520 E: narelle@nepeancommunity.org.au FaceBook: Parenting in Penrith Blog: handsheartsminds.wordpress.com Last month, I listed the services available to parents who are interested in learning more about parenting. This month I said I would write about what to do if you are concerned that your child may have a disability or disorder. The main difficulties that I see in children in the work that I do are autism, anxiety, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder. The national statistics on these conditions are: • Autism – 1 in 100 children • Anxiety – 1 in 10 children • ADHD – 1 in 10 children • Sensory processing disorder – 1 in 20 children Of course, there are alot of other disorders and syndromes that can affect children’s thinking, feeling, and doing. Frequently, parents are concerned about getting their child assessed for fear of their child being labelled. It is my experience that children like to know the reason why they are different to other children, it makes sense to them. A diagnosis also helps teachers to accommodate your child’s unique needs and abilities. And more importantly, the earlier the diagnosis the earlier you can start intervention, and early intervention makes a huge difference in the lives of children. You can discuss your concerns about your child’s development with your General Practitioner (doctor). Your GP may refer you to a paediatrician or you may ask for a Mental Health Care Plan which will allow you to claim a Medicare rebate on the fees to see a psychologist or occupational therapist for an assessment. Psychologists and paediatricians can assess for autism and ADHD. Psychologists can assess for anxiety. Occupational Therapists can assess for sensory processing disorder. It is very important to get an assessment by a professional and not to diagnose your child yourself or listen to other people who are not qualified to give you advice. Once you have a diagnosis, there are services which provide support for parents depending on the different ability your child has. For example, the Luke Priddis Foundation, ASPECT, Northcott, Lifestart, Nepean Community & Neighbourhood Services, and Stepping Stones Triple P. Parents find that connecting with other parents who understand their child’s challenges, offer a listening ear and helpful suggestions, is very supportive and a good form of self-care. These services may also offer activities for the children or the family as a whole.

Wollondilly Library Service is reminding residents that due to the refurbishment of the current library building, Picton Library is moving to a temporary location and will be closed for a short time. During this transition the Library will be closed from 7 September to 21 September and will be re-opening in the Old Rural Fire Service (RFS) building on the corner of Menangle and Colden Streets. Luke Johnson, General Manager, said ‘the library will be operating as more of a shop front at the temporary location with the majority of the library collection stored on-site, accessible via the library staff. “The Mobile Libraries will not be affected and will continue to provide access to books, DVDs, CDs and e-Resources.” “There is also the option of using Wollondilly Library’s online resources which are available 24/7. Also, holiday programs, storytime and bookbubs will be provided in the Wollondilly Shire Hall and the community will still have access to computers, wifi, printing and copying. It is anticipated that the library service will operate from the temporary premises for about 6 months until the newly refurbished library is reopened. We ask all our loyal customers to bear with us during this time. For information about the library services please contact Picton Library on 46778300.

With raincoats on, they continued to set up, hoping the weather would be kind and ease off. Luckily, the rain did stop just before the event was due to start but the weather was threatening all day. To add to it, there were a couple of other local events on the day, that Mulgoa Public School had to compete with but this little school dug deep and pushed on to provide a fantastic event. Unfortunately, a lot of the stall holders decided not to risk the weather and did not attend but the ones that stuck it out reported to have had a great day. Word has it that it was definitely one to remember. With wonderful reviews from all, this little school proved that with organisation, determination and a fantastic team of volunteersâ&#x20AC;Śanything is possible! Congratulations Mulgoa Public School, the day was a huge success.

Letter to the Editor Reply to last months Wallacia quick facts The first four facts are correct. The landmarks are the weir, third bridge and the hotel. Little Bondi was a popular swimming hole but no longer exists as John Walsh dredged out all the sand in the 1970s. The hotel was not designed by the Fowler Family. In 1937 the land was bought from John K Fowler for 700 pound. The license was transferred from the Imperial Hotel, Rooty Hill and opened for business on 3/12/1937. The cost of the building was 19,751 pound and the builders were Messrs. Lipscomb and Price, the architects were Ross and Rowe and the licensee was Theresa Clarke. The Wallacia area was an original grant to John Blaxland by Gov. Macquarie in 1813. This went from South Creek at St Marys, where his brother George Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson left to cross the mountains, to the Nepean River. A further 777 acres was granted and went from the Nepean River to the Warragamba River. He called the property Luddenham. Later he sold off parts of the property, some to George Cox and the other part in Wallacia to Charles Nicholson. John Blaxland built the first crossing of the river, hence the name Blaxland Crossing. Nicholsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home was where the shops are today. Robert Wallace, a constable, lived in this building. Mr. Leggo who lived in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pinesâ&#x20AC;? would ride his horse to Penrith for the mail and drop it off to R Wallace. People would say â&#x20AC;&#x153;weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to Wallace to get the mailâ&#x20AC;? and was the unofficial post office from 1885. In 1905 Australia Post took over the mail service and as there was another Wallace near Wagga there was a lot of confusion. Australia Post wanted to call the area â&#x20AC;&#x153;Boondahâ&#x20AC;? meaning native apple but the locals did not like the name. The Principal of the school, Mr Campbell suggested the name Wallacia being a combination of Wallace and Acacia (wattle). This was registered 1/6/1906. There was a guest house called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mountview/Riverviewâ&#x20AC;? built around 1870s where Shelley Avenue is, and housed the workers who built the second crossing or the old bridge. The area was never called Riverview. Where does Wikipedia get their information? I have documentation for all of the above. The information on the Post Office is correct. After John and Ethel Fowler who had the PO/Shop/Newsagency where the Nicholson home was and where the shops are now, Bernie & Marjorie Fowler moved into the PO where is now in the 1950s and was where the manual telephone exchange was. The PO is now run by Ross (the Penrith Mayor) and his wife Margaret Fowler . The brief information on the PO is correct.

COUNSELLING CORNER

Article by: Linda Cassell from Psychology Works 4 All P: 4773 3057 or 0421 507 191 E: lindacassell@bigpond.com Remember last month we met Sandy and Mike? They were both super busy with the rigours of work and parenthood and felt the flame had gone out of their relationship. We are looking at three strategies to help rekindle their intimacy. Today we look at the final strategy. One of the things I like to do when working with couples is ask them to reverse roles (to the extent possible). In other words, one person in the relationship literally switches regularly held duties and activities with their spouse. Examples: If you are the one who usually does the cooking, let your partner attend to it for the night. If your partner is the one who always mows the lawn, you assume that task. You get the general point. What I have generally found that happens during this activity is a new sense of awareness on the part of both individuals about one another. The most frequent comment made in fact is: “I had no idea what this was like for you.” By literally walking in our partners’ shoes – even for a day – we gain fresh insight into their life and increase our awareness about their experiences. Summing Things Up Breathing new life back into a long term relationship isn’t easy. Anybody who claims otherwise frankly doesn’t know what they are talking about. It takes real effort to keep a sense of connection alive. By remember to not presume you know what the other is going to say and treating them like you have just met them, using active listening and reversing relational roles, you can help to keep the connection strong with your other half and really enjoy their presence in your life.

MONEY MATTERS PARENTS CORNER

Article by: David & Leonie Jackson from Great Aussie Dream P: 4733 8592 E: admin@gad.com.au

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Spring Selling Season. Are You Ready? Spring is here and frankly Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad to have warmer weather ahead. Historically, the Real Estate market also heats up in Spring due to the fact that sellers often delay listing their homes during Winter in favour of warmer months when more people are out and about. For this reason Spring is known as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Selling Seasonâ&#x20AC;?. With more stock available this presents a great opportunity for buyers to find their dream home or that investment property gem. But you had better be prepared because in this competitive market, most homes are snapped up on the day they hit the market. As the old adage goes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (or she) who hesitates is lostâ&#x20AC;?. So how can you be prepared to act when your perfect property hits the market? Here are my top 3 tips to help you beat the competition. 1. Knowledge is Power. Research your target suburb so that you understand the value of property. Look at recent sales and compare prices achieved on similar homes to the type you are looking for. Keep in mind that according to RP Data home values have grown by 15% in the year to July 2015. To put that into perspective, a home valued at $500,000 is currently increasing in value by $6,250 per month, so a sale 3 months ago will be worth nearly $20,000 more today. 2. Legal Representation. Meet with and appoint your Solicitor or Conveyancer ahead of time. Purchasing a home will probably be the biggest purchase of your life and you need someone protecting your interests throughout the transaction. Plus, if you make a successful offer the Agent will want to know who is representing you. 3. Finance Ready. Nothing says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Serious Buyerâ&#x20AC;? to an Agent more than someone with his or her finance sorted and adds serious weight to your offer. At Great Aussie Dream, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about helping our Clients ready themselves to purchase, with free RP Data property reports, great advice, some of the best rates in the market and of course our Award Winning service.

PAWS A WHILE With Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital A: 377 Wentworth Rd, Orchard Hills P: 4736 2027

Theresa had a Baby Girl!!!! Congratulations to Theresa and her partner on the safe delivery of baby Zahra Grace. Theresa is currently on maternity leave. RSPCA Cupcake Day Was a Huge Success A Cupcake Day is a great way to raise awareness and money for the RSPCA. We hosted a Cupcake Week at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital starting on Monday 17th August 2015. Thank you to everyone who came in and donated and ate a cupcake or two. Also a huge thank you for the online donations. We raised over $500.00 for the RSPCA with your help. Renai, Sheridan, Rachel, Stacey, Eden, Lizzie, Jessica, Ben and Vicki cooked up a storm and provided the most delicious peppermint slice, other delicious slices, and of course cupcakes. The Pupcakes were made from the Hills WD science diet baked into cupcakes and iced with peanut butter. Pony and Bella loved eating the Pupcakes! Thanks again for supporting a great cause! The RSPCA is the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, a non-profit, community based charity that works to prevent cruelty to animals by actively promoting their care and protection. The RSPCA is not an agency of the Australian Government and therefore relies on the generosity of the community, through animal adoptions, volunteering, event participation, donations,

fundraising, corporate partnerships, corporate support, bequests and grants, to support its vital daily work. We wish every day was cupcake day! Dog Lovers Show Was Fantastic The Sydney Dog Lovers Show on Saturday 15th and Sunday 16th August 2015 at The Hordern Pavilion was fantastic! Camille Brandt attended the Dog Lovers Show as a special guest of Rose-Hip Vita and took Pony and Bella. Camille answered numerous questions from the public at the Rose-Hip Vital stall. I was so proud of Pony and Bella, they loved all of the attention. Pony was such a crowd pleaser. Bella was clever (as usual), she just laid down and let the people come to her for a pat. Pony walked up to everyone for a pat and by lunchtime he needed a well earned nap. The Sydney Dog Lovers Show had over 150+ exhibitors showcasing dog products and services in Australia. So many freebies! There were so many celebrities, including Dr Katrina & The Wonderdogs, Dr Lisa Chimes (Bondi Vet), James & Anthony (Village Vets Australia on the The LifeStyle Channel) and Laura Vissaritis (Dognitive Therapy) as MC. What a great weekend! Please feel free to pop in anytime and meet the team at Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital. Call 4736 2027 to make an appointment.
