M arrickville State Emergency Service members toured their new home last weekend and were excited by what they saw.

The new building in Railway Road, Tempe is expected to be completed early next year and will have much more space than the current building in Livingstone Road, Marrickville.

There will be a dedicated operation centre as well as a training centre, offices, meeting rooms and a six-vehicle garage.

“We had a look at our capabilities for the area, what we actually need. And the building we’re at now, we’re a bit overcrowded,” said local control-ler Michael Carney.

“We don’t have storage space for our vehicles and we don’t have enough room to cater for the members we require. The other place is very basic and it’s not made for running a major operation.”

OPINION

Time for climate change action, lest we be shirtfronted ourselves

This week, Prime Minister Tony Abbott had his opportunity to “shirtfront” Russian President Vladimir Putin at the APEC meeting in Beijing.

I’m not sure what people were realistically expecting to happen in the meeting but there appeared to be some disappointment that the two macho men of world politics didn’t actually come to blows.

Not being an AFL person myself, I was unfamil-iar with the term and initially assumed he meant he was going to speak to him face to face and tell him bluntly what he thought of Russia’s role in the shooting-down of Malaysian Airlines flight MH-17 over the Ukraine earlier this year.

Given the Prime Minister is also a Sydneysider, I’m not convinced he was using the AFL term which from what I can gather equates to a shoul-der charge in rugby league.

However, being the macho man that he is, he seemed reluctant to clarify what he meant, allowing the world to think that he was intending to physically confront Mr Putin.

I suspect he had the conversation with the Russian President that he intended to have and little more will come of it other than a decided frostiness in the relationship between the two countries while both men remain at the helms.

While this sideshow was being played out, more important matters were being discussed at the APEC meeting, most notably the agreement between the United States and China on carbon emissions.

US President Barack Obama said they had previously pledged to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by 17 per cent on 2005 figures by 2020. He added a new goal this week of a 26-28 per cent reduction by 2025.

At the same time Chinese President Xi Jinping announced an intention to expand their zero-emission primary energy sources (including nuclear as well as renewables) to 20 per cent by 2030, which he said should see China’s emissions peak by 2030 if not earlier.

The joint announcement comes hot on the heels of the fifth report from the Intergovern-mental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) earlier this month. It found that human influence on the climate system is clear and growing, with impacts observed on all continents and greater certainty than ever before that emissions of greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic driv-ers have been the dominant cause of observed warming since the mid-20th century.

“If left unchecked, climate change will increase the likelihood of severe, pervasive and irrevers-ible impacts for people and ecosystems,” the IPCC said.

“However, options are available to adapt to climate change and implementing stringent mitigation activities can ensure that the impacts of climate change remain within a manageable range, creating a brighter and more sustainable future.”

The US and China announcement was also important because one argument used against Australia taking action to reduce carbon emis-sions was that it was meaningless without commitments from the biggest polluters such as the US and China.

The Climate Council says China and the US have moved from laggards to global leaders on climate change while Australia has moved in the other direction.

Speaking at a climate forum in Hurlstone Park last month, Climate Council CEO Amanda McKenzie said China was particularly inspiring when it comes to actions to reduce climate emis-sions.

“It’s interesting being able to have a five year plan, which they’re determined to meet,” Ms McKenzie told the forum.

“Their increase in renewable energy is just stag-gering. They’re now a world leader in installed capacity and solar and wind. And they’re export-ing it to the world. That’s had a huge impact in reducing the price of a renewable, which has been reduced to about a fifth of what it once was in Australia.”

Positive murmurings started to come out of the Federal Government with both Environment Minister Greg Hunt and Treasurer Joe Hockey indicating that Australia would set new emis-sions targets next year.

However, it’s hard to imagine any meaningful action being taken with the Federal Government having only just dismantled the carbon reduc-tion mechanism that could have been used to enforce emission reductions.

And it’s almost certain that the climate deniers will be back in the Government’s ear coming up with lines on why more substantial action from Australia is unnecessary. It’s time for the Govern-ment to stop paying attention to the deniers, listen to the experts, and start taking genuine action on climate change or we might find ourselves shirtfronted by the rest of the world.

The deniers will be back in the Govt’s ear

W est Ward voters go to the polls this weekend to elect a new representative on Marrickville Council, with

four candidates vying for the job.The by-election was triggered by the

death of Labor councillor Emanuel Tsar-doulias in August.

Labor candidate Daniel Barbar said he is trying to talk to as many people as possible about local issues.

“Last Saturday, we doorknocked 3,500 houses in a day. I’ve been doing street stalls, train stations, light rail stations, speaking to local business owners and community leaders,” Mr Barbar said.

“They’re telling me they want better parks, housing affordability, more parking and a new, modern library without a rate rise.”

Greens candidate Justine Langford said she had enjoyed meeting people at the Greens’ stalls at Dulwich Hill shops, through door knocking, pre-poll and outdoor events such as Marrickville Festi-val.

“I am receiving very strong feedback that our current Council is far too sympathetic to the interests of property developers,”

Ms Langford said.“In particular residents living around

Dulwich Hill Station have expressed to me deep unhappiness about the stark concrete buildings that have replaced the modest late Victorian/deco feel of the Marrickville West shopping strip.”

Liberal candidate George Andrade said parking around Arlington Oval was a big issue with the locals as was graffiti and inconsistent building approvals.

“For example, in the same street one house had to have heritage to blend with the street, next door to it there were no restrictions as to heritage,” he said.

Australia First candidate Jim Saleam said the area was politically unfavourable for them but they were running to contact potential supporters and develop a profile to counter the politics of the Greens and the extreme-left.

“I have had a few calls of support, but also aggressive abuse,” Dr Saleam said.

“I note too that the Socialist Alliance has also spoken against me as a ‘racist’ (as I would expect). Controversy is fine with me.”

Voting is compulsory for everyone in the West Ward area, which covers virtually all of Dulwich Hill and south Marrickville west of Illawarra Road and other parts of Marrickville west of Hollands Avenue,

Candidates say development, car parking and heritage restrictions are major issues

News in brief

Attorney General and Minister for Justice Brad Hazzard has thanked Legal Aid NSW for delivering a record one million services in civil, family and criminal law last financial year.

“As shown in the annual report, legal aid lawyers are on the frontline across a range of areas helping people – whether they are facing mortgage de-

fault, divorce or child support issues, harassment at work, or problems with a faulty product, Legal Aid solicitors can help,” Mr Hazzard said.“Legal Aid lawyers really do make a dif-ference, often picking up cases at short notice and having to come to grips with complex issues that are weighing down people’s lives.“With the doubling of early interven-tion services over the past few years Legal Aid has been able to help many people resolve their problems long before they get to court.“Legal Aid lawyers are constantly lift-ing people out of what appears to be insurmountable legal problems – they are champions fighting on behalf of the community.”

The NSW Labor Opposition has com-mitted to reinstate the specialist Drug and Alcohol Education Unit in NSW schools – a critical resource to combat teenage drug use.Shadow Education Minister Ryan Park said that the education unit was axed under the current NSW Govern-ment’s Local Schools, Local Decisions reforms. “As a former Health and Physical Edu-cation Teacher, I know firsthand the value of the work the specialised Drug and Alcohol Education Unit did to ensure teachers were trained and sup-ported in the delivery of effective drug education programs,” he said. “I have spoken to principals, teachers

and parents – and all of them agree that this is an area where it is vital that schools are accessing the latest meth-

ods and resources. Our schools once had access to such a resource. It was called the Drug and Alcohol Education Unit – and its closure two years ago was a tragedy. Labor will support ef-fective drug education programs.”

T he Portuguese mural in Audley Street, Petersham is to be removed and re-installed at another location in the suburb.

Marrickville Council voted this week to approve a mixed residential and commer-cial development on the site of the petrol station, which adjoins the mural.

Mayor Mark Gardiner said the mural was installed in 2002 to commemorate a visit by the Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio to Petersham.

He said Council agreed with the owner at the time to remove the mural if requested and install it on removable panels as a contingency so it could be removed with-out being destroyed.

“That’s why we agreed last night to have the mural professionally removed and stored, and then work with the artist and the local community to find a new home in the same area – ideally in Audley Street,” Mayor Gardiner said.

“We are fully committed to the mural, which we commissioned and funded and to public art and the Portuguese commu-nity in Petersham.”

News that the mural might be removed caused concern particularly among the

Portuguese artwork to be moved to make way for development at petrol station

COUNCIL

Mural to be removed, relocated

The Audley Street mural is to be put into storage until a new site is found

Portuguese community in Petersham and more than 600 people signed a petition calling for it to be retained. Federal MP Anthony Albanese said the removal of this mural would be to the significant detri-ment of the local community.

“Audley Street has been its home for more than a decade and the mural reflects the rich cultural diversity of the Inner

West,” Mr Albanese said. “To simply relocate it ignores the

importance of the site to the Portuguese community and as a landmark for the Inner West.”

Antonio Cerqueira spoke at the Council meeting on behalf of the Portuguese community and told how thousands of people came to the opening of the mural

in 2002 by the Portuguese President.“It was a gift for our children and grand-

children,” Mr Cerqueira said.“When I heard it was to be removed it

was a sad day. Everyone loves it. We need to do something to keep it there.”

Cr Morris Hanna said when a new site is found, Council must make sure the mural will be able to stay there permanently.

N SW Police Legacy is running an appeal for the family of seven-year-old Jack Norman, a Marrickville boy with an inop-

erable brain tumour.His parents, Craig and Tanya, noticed

he was suffering from symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of concentration and lethargy from the age of four. But they were unable to get a diag-nosis until just before his fifth birthday when he collapsed and a CT scan revealed an abnormality in his brain along with a buildup of spinal fluid.

The abnormality was an ependymoma, a rare brain tumour. Surgery, radiation, physiotherapy and speech therapy allowed him to restart kindergarten at Marrickville West Public School at the beginning of last year.

However, further tumours were diag-nosed at the end of 2013 and then in June this year, both of which were treated before a fourth tumour was diagnosed last month behind his eyes and adjacent to the pituitary gland and hypothalamus. Jack’s family were given the devastating news that surgical removal was not an option as the damage caused would be catastrophic.

His father Craig describes Jack and

bright, compassionate and very funny.“He is taking his current situation in his

stride, there is a lot of frustration and bore-dom as he has basically lost his vision in a very short space of time and we are still coming to terms with that,” Mr Norman said.

“He has done exceptionally well at school in the last couple of years despite multiple hospitalisations.”

Jack also has a younger sister Sophie who is about to turn four and their parents are conscious of making sure she doesn’t feel left out and that she understands she is just as important as her brother.

“We are trying our best to stay positive and take things day by day, thinking about the future is just about unbearable,” Mr Norman said.

“We are incredibly lucky to be getting so much support and love from friends and work colleagues, from Jack’s school, from people on Facebook and from total strangers.”

Craig Norman works as a solicitor for the police and says the support of both NSW Police and Police Legacy has been absolutely critical as both he and his wife have basically exhausted what paid leave they have.

Information on donating to Police Lega-cy’s appeal can be found at doitforjack.gofundraise.com.au.

Woman held at gun point in her own home

A 36-year-old woman was held at gunpoint during a break and enter at her home in Lewisham last Sunday, November 9.

About 10pm, the woman was watching television when she heard a knock at the door of her unit in Gould Avenue. As the woman answered the door, it was pushed open by a man who pointed a firearm at her chest. The man detained the woman for a short time before leaving the premises.

The woman contacted police who arrived shortly after and established a crime scene.

The man was described as: Caucasian, mid thirties, fair skinned, 176-178cm tall, medium build, brown eyes, close shaved full beard, wearing a dark blue trade shirt with blue sleeves, blue work pants and dark baseball cap. Call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Man arrested, charged over glassing of 20yo woman

A man will appear in court today following the alleged ‘glassing’ of a woman at Lewisham last weekend.

About 2.50am on Sunday, November 9, police received numerous calls relating to an assault that was occurring on Victoria Street. Marrickville Police arrived a short time later and after talking with several witnesses stopped a man who was walking on Toothill Street. Police will allege that the man was found with blood on his clothing and he was arrested. They then attended a home in Victoria Street where a 20-year-old woman was located with a laceration above her left eye who needed medical treatment.

Investigators established a crime scene at the premises. The 32-year-old man was later charged with reckless wounding.

Police investigate possible link between robberies

Investigations are underway following three armed robberies in Dulwich Hill.

The first incident occurred about 8.50pm on Monday. A 52-year-old man was working at a convenience store on New Canterbury Road when a man entered and asked for cigarettes. Police have been told when the shop attendant asked for the man to pay, he produced a firearm before fleeing the scene.

The second and third incidents occurred just after 9.50pm, when a 47-year-old woman and a 77-year-old man left Dulwich Hill Light Rail Station were approached by a man armed with a knife, in separate incidents. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward.

Two charged over robbery after foot pursuit

Police have charged a man and a teen following a street robbery in Marrickville this week. About 5.15pm on Wednesday, November 12, a 19-year-old man was walking along Illawarra Road when he was allegedly approached by an 18-year-old man and a 17-year-old teenage boy. The 18-year-old man has allegedly reached out and grabbed the victim by the shirt and both have assaulted him. The victim broke free and tried to run away. The man and the teen chased him and allegedly assaulted him again and stole his wallet. Two officers from Marrickville Local Area Command were patrolling nearby and were alerted to the robbery. After a short foot pursuit, the pair were arrested.

A manda Crowe, the Dulwich Hill woman charged last month with murder, has had her bail revoked on earlier charges relating to

the attempted murder of three men in Bankstown.

Both incidents are alleged to be connected to an internal feud between the Blacktown and Bankstown chapters of the Brothers 4 Life gang.

On October 27, 2013, Mahmoud Hamzy was gunned down at his home in Revesby Heights. Just over a week later on Novem-ber 7, a group of three men were shot at outside the Chokolatta cafe in Bankstown but survived.

Four men, who were already under surveillance by police, were arrested shortly after and charged with a range of offences relating to the Chokolatta shoot-ing.

It is alleged that one of the four subse-quently rolled over to the police and iden-tified Ms Crowe as playing a pivotal role in the organisation of the shooting.

She was charged with three accounts of grievous bodily harm and other offences earlier this year but granted bail because she was caring for her ill mother.

On Monday, October 27 this year she was arrested and charged with the murder of Mr Hamzy as well.

She was in custody having not sought bail on the latter charges but the Director of Public Prosecutions sought that the earlier bail to be revoked too.

Ms Kiely for the prosecution argued there were a couple of risks associated with Ms Crowe being released on bail, namely that the seriousness of the charges meant she might not attend court but also that she might attempt to track down witnesses giving evidence against her and others connected with the shootings.

She also argued that a rift had developed between Ms Crowe and her mother and the need for Ms Crowe to provide care was not as strong as it had been previously.

Mr Terracini, representing Ms Crowe, tried to have the application dismissed, arguing there were legal problems with making such a decision in a local court and said they were taking a bail application to the Supreme Court later this month.

He also argued that the latter charges predated her arrest so there had been no breach of her bail conditions.

Magistrate Barry dismissed Mr Terra-cini’s arguments stating the two incidents were clearly linked and there was a signifi-cant risk should Ms Crowe be released.

CRIME

A fight between school students at Marrickville Station last week saw one of the students pushed onto the tracks. Luck-

ily he escaped without serious injury but Marrickville Police and Sydney Trains have warned of the potentially fatal consequences of such behaviour.

Marrickville Police said the incident occurred at approximately 2.45pm on Tuesday, November 4 when two students from a school in Marrickville got into a verbal argument with another

male student while waiting on the train platform. One of the students pushed the male who landed on the railway tracks.

The three students were identified to police the following day. Both students involved in the assault were dealt with under the Young Offenders Act.

A Sydney Trains spokesperson said the message is very simple – misbehaving on or near the railway puts your life at risk.

“This is extremely dangerous behav-iour. Don’t do it,” the spokesperson said.

“If you misbehave or commit a crime on the rail network, chances are that it will be captured on surveillance cameras and appropriate action will be taken.”

T wo local students, Janek Dreviko-vsky from Fort Street High School and Charmaine D’Souza from Sydney Girls High School, were

among 20 NSW secondary public school students who last week were recognised with a Minister’s Award for Excellence in Student Achievement.

According to his award citation, Mr Drevikovsky “is an outstanding academic student, as well as a talented musician and member of the Fort Street High School Symphony Orchestra”.

Ms D’Souza’s nomination says she “is an exceptional student who is dedicated to her studies. She is also a talented sport-sperson and artist who is passionate about social justice and equity issues”.

The awards were presented this week by Education Minister Adrian Piccoli who said they recognise the outstanding work and commitment of our education communities.

The award recipients include students who regularly excel academically, in sport and in community service.

“I would like to congratulate all the award recipients, and was delighted to see the award recipients and their families, principals, and senior members of the Department of Education and Communi-

ties [at the ceremony],” Mr Piccoli said. Up to 40 awards may be presented every

year to Year 12 students enrolled in NSW public schools across the state. The first awards were presented in 1989.

G lobe Wilkins Preschool in Marrickville has been awarded the highest possible rating from the Australian Children’s

Education and Care Quality Authority (ACECQA).

The Marrickville Council-run Preschool is just the fourth education and care service in NSW to receive the Excel-lent rating for outstanding work in the community and ongoing commitment to improving quality outcomes for children.

ACECQA Board Chair Rachel Hunter said Globe Wilkins Preschool’s work with community groups, such as the indige-nous-focused Multi Mix Mob playgroup and Wunanbiri Aboriginal preschool, is indicative of culturally inclusive practice.

“Globe Wilkins Preschool takes an active leadership role within the community and wider childhood sector,” Ms Hunter said.

“The pre-school’s outstanding practice and commitment to continuous improve-ment is inspiring and I congratulate them on the work they are doing.”

The Preschool’s transition-to-school program with the local primary school allows the preschoolers to mingle with school-aged children and participate in a shared community garden.

In addition, the Preschool supports educators from other education and care services by sharing educational programs and ideas on the Early Years Learning

Framework and other elements of the national quality framework.

“The Excellent rating recognises services that have demonstrated outstanding dedi-cation to quality and the National Quality Framework for Early Childhood Education and Care principles, as well as a commit-ment to continuous improvement in our sector,” Ms Hunter said.

“Receiving the Excellent rating is an

important milestone, recognising how the centre has developed and modelled exceptional practice for families and chil-dren in both their local and neighbouring communities.”

Marrickville Mayor Mark Gardiner said it was a very impressive endorsement of Council’s children’s services.

“I congratulate the talented, hard work-ing and dedicated staff at the preschool

but also everyone in our Children and Family Services. It’s through their shared knowledge, skills and commitment that the Preschool has achieved this great result,” Mayor Gardiner said.

“Most of us know by now how absolutely critical high quality education and care programs are for young children in those first few years of life – it can have a lifelong impact.”

D ear Delicious is a new cafe in Dulwich Hill next door to Dulwich Hill Station and the light rail terminus.

It was opened six months ago by two brothers who wanted to try something different with a focus on health and well being with organic, sustainable food.

“We’re putting a lot of emphasis on the quality of food in a relaxed environment which we think is fairly priced,” says owner Greg.

“We’ve got good chefs and we work with local suppliers to arrange the produce that we need.”

Head chef Kahili Perazzo has a long history in the indus-try bringing a wealth of knowledge and skill to the kitchen. He says they offer thoughtful produce-driven food.

“We look to organic, ethical and sustainable resources. We are excited to promote creative and fun paddock-to-plate and nose-to-tail eating,” he said.

Dear Delicious’s menu features vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options as well as different beverages such as their turmeric, honey, ginger and coconut milk drink.

Their coffee is made using a variety of techniques includ-ing espresso, pourover and cold drip coffee, using single origin coffee and blends.

They are also looking to expand their space with plans for a small sustainable cafe garden in the back yard where they’ll be growing their own vegies.

Dear Delicious is at 245 Wardell Road, Dulwich Hill. They are currently open for breakfast and lunch and will soon be opening for dinner as well. They can be contacted on 8068 1668 or through Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

Is a professional problem bugging you big time? A combination of clever research and old-fashioned hard work helps you come

up with a smart solution that ticks all the boxes. Looking for employ-ment? You have fabulous ideas about your career path, but thinking about something isn’t the same as actually doing it.

AQUARIUS JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19

When Neptune squares Venus you can confuse being true to yourself with pleasing others. And then you just end up in

a quagmire. So don’t let other people distract you from your chosen path. Your motto for the moment is from actress Goldie Hawn: “The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are.”

PISCES FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20

Mars puts the pressure on at work or school, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. Plus Mercury increases your curiosity and your de-

sire to keep up-to-date with current affairs and neighbourhood gos-sip. On the weekend the Sun, Moon and Venus activate your adventure zone so you’re in the mood to travel, explore and indulge.

ARIES MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20

Many Taureans are struggling under the weight of relationship responsibilities and this week a loved one will be extra demand-

ing, or they may disappoint you. Strive to keep the lines of communi-cation open. The New Moon signals a fresh start for finances. Over the next few months many Bulls will benefit from a surprise cash injection.

TAURUS APRIL 21 TO MAY 21

Joint ventures or relationship issues are on the table this week Twins. You’re keen for companionship and your communication

skills are firing, as you quiz clever colleagues and then respond with in-teresting insights and sparkling repartee of your own. Don’t overdo it though! You’ve got grand Gemini schemes but resist the urge to exag-gerate, spread gossip or promise more than you can actually deliver.

GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE 21

Cancers are emotional creatures. Early in the week Venus stimu-lates your sweet tooth, plus your tendency to comfort eat. But, if

you venture down the Venusian path of self-indulgence, you’ll be a su-per curvy Crab by Christmas! Fortunately the late week New Moon en-courages you to focus on regular exercise and smart food choices.

CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22

The week starts slowly as Saturn squashes your usual enthusi-asm, stymies a personal project or just drains you of much-need-

ed energy. Mid-week is also mediocre. But then the fiery New Moon re-charges your run-down batteries and so the weekend is a wonderful time to initiate an idea or participate in a sporting event.

LEO JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23

There’s no substitute for hard work this week Virgo so roll up your sleeves and power through the pile of paperwork and bills

on your desk. But are you viewing a loved one through ridiculously rose-coloured glasses? Perhaps they’re not telling you the whole story? Honesty and clear communication are vital.

VIRGO AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23

The Sun/Saturn conjunction shines an unforgiving spotlight on money matters. When it comes to your financial situation,

don’t bury your head in the sand. A responsible and creative approach can turn things around. Your ruling planet Venus is now in Sagittarius, which increases your energy and enthusiasm.

LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23

You may have to complete a challenging task on a very tight timeline. Just put your head down and get on with it! You’re in

detective mode and the devil is definitely in the detail as you uncov-er information that others miss. Come the weekend, your self-esteem gets a boost when someone congratulates you on a job well done.

SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22

Do you harbour wistful regrets about the life path you have cho-sen? The annual New Moon in your sign is the perfect time to re-

invent yourself as you rejig your appearance, polish up your persona, rev up your creativity or reactivate your ambitions. Aim for the stars and go for gold Sagittarius! Be inspired by birthday great, the writer George Eliot: “It is never too late to be what you might have been.”

SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21

The Sun/Saturn conjunction demands that you concentrate your energy and complete old tasks before starting new ones. Fore-

thought and planning are required, as you process information first and then take action. Plus, as the New Moon passes through your soul sec-tor, contemplate ways you can consolidate your strengths.

Star predictions

for the week

beginning Nov 16

On Melbourne Cup Day I waltzed into Melbourne’s Fleming-ton Racecourse on a high horse, knowing that I had absolutely nailed my Cup Day outfit; I could not have been happier.

But putting together an outfit that I was 100 per cent happy with took weeks, if not months, of stress, discontent and frustration that was only alleviated the day before the actual event.

When a friend first approached me about heading down to Melbourne for the Melbourne Cup Carnival, one of the most fashionable weeks in the year, I did not have to think twice before answering with a yes. Now to find a dress!

Scrolling through my Instagram feed one afternoon I came across a dress that I knew would be perfect for the Melbourne Cup. It was very expensive and I had to travel for over an hour to try it on but I knew that it was the dress for me.

With less than a week to go before I would be hopping on a plane to Melbourne, I finally had the opportunity to make the drive to try on the dress. I got there, made a beeline for it and... hated it. It just didn’t suit me. So I was left with nothing but a back-up outfit that I hated and space in my suitcase.

It was a big decision but I ended up getting on a plane to Melbourne without an outfit for the Cup – I left behind the backup dress, knowing that I wouldn’t be able to face wearing it on the day.

The day prior to the races, I met up with a friend who lives in Melbourne and was able to show me around, and we were walking through our fourth department store for the day – the shopping in Melbourne is second to none – when we saw it; the perfect dress.

It was dark blue, which as someone who doesn’t wear bright colours suited me perfectly, and as classy as they come.

Choosing a fascinator to match was simple – I opted for something black – and the black, pointed toe heels that I had brought with me were the obvious choice.

Maybe it was the fact that it took months of stress to find it or maybe it just was the most well put together outfit I have ever worn, but I have never felt so content in an outfit before and as a result, I had an absolutely fantastic day.

The perfect dress is out there, be patient!

BENJAMIN HARRINGTONAzzurra Fitness

As trainers, the three most common reasons we hear for not sticking to a regular health and fitness program is lack of time, money and motivation, in particular boredom with their current regime.

How many people invest huge amounts of money in gym memberships, then never go? How many people go, but get bored of the same workout routine week in week out? How many people turn up at the gym each time, look around and don’t know where to start?

The reality is that gym membership only needs to be part of your exercise program, and if you really want to add variety to your training most of it is right here on your doorstep, and costs little or nothing.

Training outdoors not only adds variety but it shocks the system and allows you to work on all of the core elements of your fitness; strength, endurance, mobility and cardiovascular health. No matter whether you have 20 minutes or two hours there really is something locally for everyone.

Interval training is widely accepted as an excellent way to spike your heart rate, and burn significant calories in a short space of time, and there’s no better way to do that than a 20 minute hill sprint session at Sydney Park or running up and down the Sand Dunes at Wanda.

If you have a little more time available you can work on your distance with a power walk or jog along the Cooks River; you can even stop along the way at the Steel Park Outdoor Gym and follow detailed instructions for a circuit based strength style workout.

The Bay Run, whilst not only a beautiful setting, provides an excellent flat surface for those just starting out, and is a great walk or run to take the whole family on. For those of you who are feeling a little more adventurous, why not try a trail run down at Twin Valley, from Wolli Creek to Bexley Road.

The list goes on and on, and the local Sydney community really does have it all. Is there ever really a good reason not to lead a healthy lifestyle when we have this on our doorstep?

Broaden your horizon and get out of the gym

FITNESS

DR. SAM KOVAC

It’s been a year now since we launched Project HoPe (Homeless Pets) with a vision to vaccinate every homeless pet and provide access to veterinary services among this often forgotten part of our community.

Animals don’t discriminate between rich and poor, healthy and unhealthy and for this reason, they should have equal access to veterinary care and services. As pet owners we have a very deep bond with our four legged family and the bond between the homeless and their furry companions is potentially stronger. They spend every minute of their lives with their pets, shar-ing all of their resources.

Through the past year of working closely with the homeless population of Sydney, we’ve seen first-hand that these compan-

ions are essential to the wellbeing and indeed the survival of their owners. They provide a source of stability for the people who have no secure shelter, no guaranteed source of food and limited possessions.

Most animal care related charities provide adoption services and very few provide for the ongoing care of animals. Project HoPe fits this important niche.

We’ve expanded Project HoPe to provide crisis accommodation at our clinic for pets of people who are looking for shelter as well as pop-up clinics to increase the regular checkups of underprivi-leged pets. We’ve constructed kennels at the well-known Jewish House in Bondi, to make what is Sydney’s first pet-friendly crisis centre.

Project HoPe needs your support, so please consider donating funds or time. We welcome you to our fundraising evening at the Courthouse Hotel on Australia St in Newtown this coming Monday, November 17 from 6pm.

We are a registered animal welfare charity, a co-operative of carers that support animals in need of homes. Our goal is to fi nd these animals their permanent homes in families who will commit to loving them for life.We are committed to No Kill philosophy and believe that public education and desexing is the cornerstone of this. We aim to have basic obedience for each dog by the time of rehome in place and offer ongoing telephone assistance for new owners if needed.

MY IDEAL HOME

Woof, my name is Skot and it’s really nice to meet you! My ideal home is pretty simple... it’d have a place for me to sleep, toys, yummy food, and a family who will love me as much as I’ll love them. I’d especially like to live with people who are calm and confi dent, enjoy going for walks, and don’t mind if I plonk my big bum on their lap every now and then.

MY IDEAL HOME:

I’d love to go to home with a backyard that I can play in. I like going for walks, chasing the ball or playing tug o’ war so I’d love a family/owner who is active and will involve me in their day-to-day activities.

MY IDEAL HOME:

I am friendly dog who loves people. I adore being around you and don’t really like being on my own for long periods of time because I will miss you too much. I love my food, and I love my walks at Sydney Park where I am a great dog off leash. I am exceptionally good at my recall, but I will take a while to get used to a new home. So a patient, understanding, dog savvy owner is who I am looking for, I’ll be your best mate once I get to know you. I will reward your effort with my sunny smile and utter devotion.

Music legends turn out to help rural communities

Some of Australia’s biggest music acts are coming to Enmore next weekend as part of Rock The Gate, a concert to support rural communities

trying to protect their farmlands from coal seam gas mining.

The concert will be centred on the Enmore Theatre with satellite venues nearby hosting an eclectic mix of music including the Town Hall Hotel on King Street (alt-country), Zanzibar on King Street (electronic), The Midnight Special on Enmore Road (blues), the Sly Fox Hotel on Enmore Road (conscious hip hop), and the Green Room Lounge on Enmore Road (acoustic).

Headlining the event are singer-songwriter Pete Murray, hip hop legends The Herd, blues guitar award winner Ash Grunwald, Tex Perkins from The Cruel Sea, Natalie Pa’apa’a accompanied by West Papuan Freedom Fighter sisters Lea and Petra Rumwaropen, US roots stars Nahko and Trevor Hall and indigenous dub act Diesel n’ Dub.

There will also be performances from David Bridie, Bunna Lawrie, Radical Son and Stiff Gins.

Joining them will be comedians, indig-enous dancers, slam poets and members of the community affected by the fracking

industry plus speakers from the Lock the Gate Alliance, who have organised the concert in association with the Uplift Music Festival.

Lock the Gate is a national coalition of people from across Australia – including farmers, traditional custodians, conser-vationists and urban residents – who have united to protect land, water and communities from unsafe or inappropri-ate mining for coal seam gas and other fossil fuels.

They were involved in the anti-CSG blockade at Bentley, near Lismore in northern NSW where more than 3,000 people gathered there to protest a local farm being turned into a mine and managed to force the company to cancel its fracking operation.

Highly acclaimed musician and song-writer Pete Murray said he was proud to be playing at Rock The Gate to raise funds and awareness for the anti-fracking move-ment in Australia.

“Fracking and unconventional gas mining is damaging our land, water and communities and I’m passionate about putting a stop to unsafe mining to protect our environment for future generations,” Murray said.

Rock the Gate supporting local famr-ers and land conservation will be at the Enmore Theatre in Newtown on Sunday, November 23 starting at 2pm.

Tickets are $77.10 and available from the Theatre on 9550 3666 or through Ticketek.

ROCK THE GATEENMORE THEATRESUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23

Wollongong singer/song-writer James Stewart Keene will be rocking the Town and Country Hotel in St Peters this

weekend with his unique brand of coun-try flavoured rock.

Keene will appear with The Steel Valley Band, who will also open the show.

The clip for his latest single ‘Loneliness To Love’ was recently added to Foxtel’s Country Music Channel playlist.

Produced by acclaimed director Paul Denham, the clip is making people sit up and take notice of this relative newcomer to the industry.

Keene delivers an emotionally powerful performance reminiscent of Keith Urban in a song that will resonate with those that have ever tried to convince a former lover to come back into their lives.

‘Loneliness To Love’ is the fourth single

from Keene’s debut album ‘The Naviga-tor’.

He has already garnered plenty of airplay on Australian country radio and in Janu-ary this year he had an Australian Country Tracks Top 30 hit with ‘Bottom of the Barrel’.

He is also scheduled to appear at the Tamworth Country Music Festival this coming January.

Keene says while the Town and Country Hotel is the same hotel referenced in the famous Slim Dusty song ‘Duncan’, punt-ers should not expect a traditional country show.

“My music is a blend of guitar driven country and rock,” he said.

“I have been influenced by the likes of Neil Young, The Eagles, Credence Clear-water Revival just to name a few, so my sound is quite diverse. I love playing live and the energy it brings.”

He does, however, promise one nod to the old master.

“Just like old Slim said in his song, I’ll make sure the atmosphere is great,” Keene said.

James Stewart Keene plays the Town

and Country Hotel, 2Unwins Bridge Road, St Peters this Saturday, November 15. Admission to the show is free and kicks off at 8.30pm. James’ album ‘The Naviga-tor’ will be available for purchase on the night.

RESERVOIR DOGSTHE VANGUARDNOVEMBER 18 - 21

Tarantino gets Shake up

If William Shakespeare was alive today, would he be writing for the stage or more populist media like film or television? What sort of scripts would he write? Histo-

ries? Tragedies? Comedies? What would happen if some of today’s most famous stories were rewritten in the classic Shake-speare form.

That is the premise of the Bard’s Bastards whose debut production at The Vanguard in Newtown is the Shakespearean version of Quentin Tarantino’s masterpiece ‘Reservoir Dogs’.

Set in Elizabethan London, it features six knights (Sir Blonde, Sir Blue, Sir Brown, Sir Orange, Sir Pink and Sir White) who were previously unknown to each other and endeavour to keep their true identities secret.

They are hired to rob a case of precious jewels from a coach on its way to the King. After their robbery is thwarted, the brigands realise that one of them must secretly be an officer in disguise. But

THEATRE

which one? This bloody revenge tragedy features all the hallmarks of both Taran-tino and Shakespeare.

The cast features Lukasz Embart, Rich-ard Hilliar, Leof Kingsford-Smith, Patrick Magee, Diego AR Melo, Chris Miller, Jerry Retford and Dominic Santangelo.

Producer Russall Beattie said they started out wanting to do a unique Shake-speare production that was set in a bar.

“Then while watching ‘Reservoir Dogs’ one day it just dawned on me that it could make a great stage production,” Beattie said.

“We just put the two together. I contacted Steven Hopley to come on to adapt and direct it and we had our show.”

He said they performed a small preview run of the show earlier this year which received very positive reactions.

“It was very interesting seeing how people were trying to line up the scene in the head with the movie,” he said.

“But one comment kept coming back to us – we needed more blood. This run we promise to make good.”

William Shakespeare’s Reservoir Dogs plays at The Vanguard, Newtown from November 18 to 21. Tickets are $33.80 and available from Box Office on 9557 9409.

Jake Johnson (‘New Girl’, ‘21 Jump Street’, ‘Get Him to the Greek’) and Damon Wayans Jr (‘New Girl’, ‘Happy Endings’) respectively star in the hilarious new comedy of mistaken identity.

The fun kicks off when two self-described 30-year-old losers, Ryan (Johnson) and Justin (Wayans Jr) attend a costume party dressed as cops. They almost instantly become neighbourhood sensations, however also become entangled in a real-life web of crime amongst mobsters and corrupt detectives. Naturally, a variety of hilarious situations ensue.

The film blends comedy elements with romance and action, making it entertaining to a wide audience.

Johnson and Wayans Jr work well together on ‘New Girl’ and have an obvious comedic chemistry, so it’s great to see them pair up for this film.

The film, however, has been met with largely negative reviews. This may be due to its overtly graphic nature, with extreme coarse language, a lot of sexual references and strong violence.

In what is their eighth studio album, Foo Fighters have produced ‘Sonic Highway’ as an eight-track ode to American music.

The album shares its title with the Dave Grohl-directed eight-episode HBO series. While the album is a short one, recorded at just over 44 minutes, each track represents a different American city. Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear wrote and recorded a song in each city, exploring the music scene in each: how each area shaped these musicians in their early years, and conversely, how each musician has since impacted the musical culture of their respective hometowns.

Each song features local legends, with every lyric written in an entirely new experimental style: Grohl held off on putting down words until the last day of each session, so as to be inspired by the experiences, interviews for the HBO series, and other local personalities who became part of the process.

The first song released from the album, ‘Something from Nothing’ is a classic rock track with a groovy sort of feel to it, influenced heavily by the Chciago music scene. The second track, ‘The Feast and the Famine’ has influences of the Wash-ington D.C. hardcore punk scene.

For those of you dedicated to the ‘World of Warcraft’, there’s good news. ‘World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor’ is the latest expansion pack and was officially released yesterday. Players will travel to the brutal world of Draenor to fight both for and against legends from Warcraft’s history.

Following the previous expansion, titled ‘Mists of Pandaria’, ‘Warlords of Draenor’ takes place in an alternate universe, Draenor, the

original home of the orcs.Among the features players are already

familiar with, ‘Warlords of Draenor’ introduces a plethora of new ones. A new difficulty level has been brought in for raids called Mythic, making the game harder than ever. Plus there are a range of new character models and animations and the level cap has been raised to 100, meaning players can reach new levels of power and unlock even more rewards.

Based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris, ‘True Blood’ has had a hugely successful seven season run.

Unfortunately though, the show is finally coming to an end, much to the dismay of fans everywhere.

Anna Paquin (‘X-Men’) heads the cast of vampires, werewolves and humans along with Joe Manganiello (‘Magic Mike’) and Ryan Kwanten (‘Home and Away’).

Combining horror, sex and all-round entertainment, the series comes from Oscar and Emmy-winner Alan Ball.

The opening of the final season sees Sookie, Bill, Eric, Jason, Sam, Alcide, Tara and their human/vampire allies and adversaries engaged in an epic battle, and it serves as a reminder to fans why they fell in love with the show initially.

The gripping conclusion to this season will leave fans shocked as to who will survive, who will meet an untimely demise, who will cheat death (true or otherwise) and who will live happily-ever-after.

WHAT'S ON

COMPILED BY JARROD GLASCOTT

With a second show added already due to overwhelming demand, Flight Facilities is sure to sell out. On the back of their surprise album, the guys conquer their biggest headline shows to date. Since their arrival in 2009, Flight Facilities have proven themselves to be one of electronic music’s most popular song writing duos. Tickets start at $44.80.

ARIA Hall of Fame legends and some of the biggest names in the Austral-ian music industry take to the stage to help Philippine typhoon victims. Performers include John Paul Young and the Allstar Band, Angry Ander-son (Rose Tattoo), Russell Morris and Glenn Shorrock. All these artists are coming together for one concert – one night only – at the Enmore Theatre. That’s over 2.5 hours of great music with a line up unlikely to be seen again. Tickets are $66.60 and available from Ticketek.

Melbourne two-piece The Stiffys will perform at the Factory Theatre next week to launch ‘Kick Another Flip’, the first track from their upcoming ‘Art Rock’ EP. The cheeky punk duo will also a release a mini documentary series covering the transition to their new ‘Art Rock’ sound and aesthetic. Stiffys shows in the past have been incredibly hectic with audiences bringing their own boogie boards and drinking from their shoes. Tickets cost $12. To book call 9550 3666.

Originating in the early 90s, Money Killed Jonny combine roots, blues and jazz with a mix-in of World beats, rhythms and melodic twists. As for Justin Frew’s Loose Intentions? It’s all infused with his love of Honkytonk. Entry $10.

Tangled Thoughts of Leaving have accumulated a cult following after a number of breakout performances; Keretta have performed at a number of festivals and tours including Big Day Out since their last Aussie tour in 2008; and Haz-ards of Swimming Naked are sampling some work off their impending second album. Fans will not want to miss this rare grouping of all three bands. Tickets are $17.

Returning to Camelot for another feast of French culture, Baby et Lulu bring together fantastic French music with a unique, seductive harmony. Group members Dobson and Goodridge have been dubbed a huge success, with critics saying they are able to transport audiences to a Parisian café, even if they’ve never been to France. Their vocals seem to entangle with one another, creating a distinctive and amazing experience for audiences. Tickets are $38.

Marrickville Council is offering a free bus tour to visit the latest sustainable technologies and designs. The tour will visit local homes and speak to homeowners who have reduced their footprint using clever design tech-niques like rain gardens, rainwater tanks and vegetable gardens. Book-ings are essential. Contact Council.

With per-formances by members of the Filipina diaspora Justin Shoulder, Caroline Garcia, Seann Miley Moore and more to be an-nounced in the coming days, Club Ate is sure to be a night of great Filipino (and surrounds) cultural cel-ebration. Funds raised on the night will be directly distrib-uted to the Ado-lescent Health and Youth Development Center (AHYDC) in Tacloban, Philippines. Entry is $20 and paid at the door. Sure to be a great night!

Marrickville Council is offering a free cycle confidence course suitable for both novice and more regular riders alike. The course is designed to improve your cycle skills and confidence while riding. Riders will learn in an off-road set-ting bike-riding safety skills as well as some of the best on-road routes. Book at marrickville.nsw.gov.au.

DAVID ELLIS

WINE

Established back in 1967 as a boutique estate in the Hunter Valley, Hungerford Hill was bought in 2002 by the Kirby family of the well-known James N Kirby engineering business. They have overseen its growth into a multi-regional wine-making

operation now embracing not only the Hunter, but NSW’s Tumbarumba, Gundagai, Hilltops and Orange regions.

But Hungerford Hill has stuck by its boutique estate philosophies and just recently under its Classic series label released a Gundagai Shiraz, a Hilltops Cabernet and an Orange Merlot from the 2013 vintage.

The 2013 Classic Gundagai Shiraz is an elegant, medium to full-bodied wine that reflects just how well this variety does in the warm temperate Gundagai climate. With typically varietal dark fruit and black pepper notes it’s one to pair up with Asian pork spareribs or Peking Duck, or with barbecued honey/chilli mari-nated steaks.

One to note: If you enjoy a bubbly, Spain’s Freixenet Cordon Negro Brut is one to consider having a bottle or two of in fridge or cellar.

This is one of the largest selling sparkling wines in the world and officially a Cava – a wine made to the tradi-tional Methode Champenoise. A blend of Parellada, Macabeo and Xarel-lo white grapes it was fermented for 10 to 12 days, racked and clarified, and then bottled for secondary fermentation in the bottle.

With flavours of green and citrus fruits and nice Mediterranean aromas in the glass, this is a bubbly with loads of sparkle. Well priced too at $16.

Going bigger yet staying boutique

CHATTERON THE BOX

After making a name for himself as a one hit

wonder rapper in the 90’s, Vanilla Ice is doing away with technology for the more simple things in life in his brand new TV series titled ‘Vanilla Ice Goes Amish’. The ‘Ice Ice Baby’ singer is set to explore the simple culture of hand craftsmanship when the show premieres on LifeStyle Home next Saturday at 7.30pm.

If you’re into police dramas a new one is

about to begin next week on Universal Channel. Fromthe brainsof ‘Law and Order’ creator, Dick Wolf, ‘Chicago P.D.’ dramatises police who patrol the beat and those who tackle major crimes in Chicago. It stars Sophia Bush and premiered in January in the States. It airs with a double episode here on Thursday, November 20 at 8.30pm.

Two big time shows have just been axed in the US

with ELEVEN supernatural drama ‘Witches of East End’ dumped along with long-running Simon Baker series ‘The Mentalist’. The latter, however, will see out its current 13 episode season here in Australia.

If you’re a fan of ‘Break-ing Bad’, you’ll love that

upcoming prequel ‘Better Call Saul’ will air on Channel Nine just hours after its US screening. The series follows the trials and tribulations of criminal lawyer Saul Goodman and is set six years before ‘Breaking Bad’.

A launch date for Fairfax’s new service

hasn’t been announced but, for a monthly subscription, Stan will offer thousands of hours of entertainment with first-run exclusives, award-winning TV shows, classic catalogue, blockbuster movies and exciting kids content.

Lastly, I’m always highly critical of Foxtel but I

want to congratulate them on this occasion for their new affordable packages, which were launched last week. Even though I had to wait on the phone for an hour to get my package changed, I now pay $10 less per month.

U ltimate Fighting came to Marrick-ville last week but it wasn’t in an octagonal cage. It was part of the Marrickville Souths Breakfast and

Fitness Club.The club is a joint initiative of Souths Cares,

an independent not-for-profit organisation with close links to the South Sydney Rabbitohs, Marrickville Council, PCYC and Barnardos. It is designed to help local disadvantaged youth by giving them exercise, a healthy breakfast and a lift to school afterwards.

Last week’s event featured Rabbitohs captain John Sutton and Australian UFC fighter Richie Vaculik leading a fun-filled session that demonstrated skills and techniques in both rugby league and mixed martial arts to students.

Joining them was UFC’s Community Works program, which brought other UFC fighters such as Uriah Hall, Alex Chambers and reigning UFC Middleweight Champion, Chris Weidman.

Weidman said it was important for elite athletes to give back to the community.

“When you get to the top, this is one of the

most rewarding situations you could have – to give back to people,” he said.

“You have the power to inspire and there’s nothing more rewarding than that, so I love to do it, I love to give back and the UFC does a great job wherever they go helping out any kids in need. Wherever you’re from, it

doesn’t matter. You find something that you love, find a passion and work as hard as you can and you can achieve anything you want.”

Sutton echoed Weidman’s comments.“Just to see some of the other UFC fighters

from the States come over and give their time for the kids is great,” said Sutton.
