You’ll Be Running Scared! The Penrith Regatta Centre will be Running Scared™ in May. Turn off all the lights

and it is remote enough to really make you think that you are out in the middle of nowhere. Prepare for the Regatta Centre to be transformed into your very worst nightmare.....

Rad Adventures have created an obstacle race that will take place entirely at night paying homage to the thriller, horror and paranormal genre.

There will be no cheering crowds just waves of scary creatures, challenging obstacles and a whole host of reasons to keep you running scared in Australia’s fi rst 8km night obstacle race.

Running Scared™ consists of 8km and 15+ obstacles that will see participants swimming/wading 50mtrs independently, crawling, climbing, jumping, balancing, weaving and of course running from the spooky creatures that lurk in the dark!

The fi rst wave will start at 6pm (sunset) and the last wave ‘The Witching Hour’ will run at midnight (100 spots only).

The event organisers Fully Rad Adventures said “The Regatta Centre at Penrith is a great venue for Running Scared™, with loads of tracks, bush land and event facilities to stage the best experience possible for participants.”

Spectators are welcome to come along and cheer on family and friends at the fi nish line. There is no charge for spectators. Spectators will not be permitted to enter the Running Scared™ course.

Join the freaks in 2014 for a night of FEAR and FUN! For more information, visit www.runningscared.com.au Image Source: http://runningscared.com.au/

Welcome to the March edition of your community news. If you’re anything like me, you have had a busy month with children settling back into school, picking up on old routines and creating new ones, with homework, sporting and social commitments.

It is hard to believe we have already arrived at March, with one-quarter of the year having escaped us!

We have some wonderful local stories for your reading pleasure; including our feature story about the upcoming ‘Running Scared’ event to be held in May. If that’s not quite your cup of tea, we have plenty of information for families in our Parents Corner on page 9, along with plenty of regular articles from our resident experts.

Kayla’s story on page 7 is touching and a matter close to my heart. Do take the time to have a read, discover, decide and discuss.

Of course, March 17 is St Patrick’s Day, you will fi nd some fun facts on page 9, and, as the ‘Luck of the Irish’ would have it, we have some hearty Irish inspired recipes in ‘What’s Cooking’ on page 11.

Enjoy ‘Your Community News’; and don’t be pushed by your problems, be led by your dreams.

Community SpiritCreating community is a deep longing

that we all have, to share life and experience with others. It may be through building a new home and being part of a new suburb, it may be by connecting with people through Facebook, it may be supporting your favourite footy team (go the Tigers and Giants!), it may be having close family and

friends you can depend on. We long to experience community. At St Toms we believe this

is because God created us to live in community. Not communes, but connected personally with others. Our communities are built around experiencing the love of God through Jesus Christ. One of our communities is J@Tz and J@Tz has come to Jordan Springs.

On Friday afternoons from 4:00-5:00pm at Water Gum Community Park we are running J@Tz. J@Tz is a kids club run for children from Kindergarten to Year 2 during school term.

At J@Tz, our aim is to help the children get to know our great God and Saviour Jesus better, and have loads of fun while they do so! On a typical week, they run around and play some games, sing a song or two, have some afternoon tea together, sometimes do a craft, and fi nish with a short reading and talk from the Bible plus talking to God in prayer.

If you have children in K-2 come on down and join our community on Friday afternoons. For further information about other St Toms groups please visit www.toms4christ.com (The J@Tz program costs $4 a week, or you can pay $30 for the whole term. All leaders have up to date accredited safe ministry training and valid WWCC numbers).

SPOTLIGHT ON . . .SPOTLI Kaleidoscope TuitionLocal resident and founder of Kaleidoscope Tuition, Rohan Hotchkiss, started playing

music in 1980, at school. After school he further refi ned his guitar skills by playing in bands at local jam nights and by entering karaoke competitions for singing practice.

In 1999, Rohan attended Blacktown T.A.F.E studying ‘Music Business’ and ‘Copyright Law’ with the famous Alan Lancaster from Status Quo. Upon his successful completion in 2000, he continued on to Nirimba T.A.F.E and studied Certifi cate 3 in ‘Performance and Literacy’.

A career highlight arose when teaching at Glenmore Park Community Centre he founded a superstar in Natasha Duarte. Natasha is now a well-known performer with a record label and once upon a time played on Nova FM.

Kaleidoscope started with white stickers being placed on the instrument to use as a guide for students. This helped when students went home as the chord shapes remained on their guitar, making it easy to remember the next time they picked up their guitar.

Rohan then introduced a colour coded system to apply to the notes of the musical alphabet [A] Aqua [B] Brown [C] Crimson [D] Dark Blue [E] Ebony [F] Fuchsia [G] Green. Applying these stickers to the instrument showed the students where to put their fi ngers as well as assisting in learning the notes on the instrument. Kaleidoscope then evolved as a Piano teaching method, where the sheet music is also coloured to the musical alphabet so you can sight-read music instantly.

It is a game to learn music correctly, with the Kaleidoscope method and you can have fun too; all it takes is the desire to succeed. There are a series of books available within the Kaleidoscope method which is a ‘self-teaching’ method to some degree, and, as with anything, it helps if you practice every day. The chord book of Kaleidoscope with over 500 chords will be out soon.

In 2015 Rohan intends to study a Bachelor of Music to further his studies and take Kaleidoscope to another level. Get in the game and learn how to discover the secrets and styles of all music. 0428 335 874 | www.kaleidoscopetuition.com

Multicultural Community Inclusion Grants Extended

Stuart Ayres MP, Member for Penrith encourages local organisations to apply for funding under the second round of NSW Government grants of up to $20,000 to help fund projects focusing on inter-cultural and inter-faith activities.

Community Inclusion Grants, part of the Community Relation Commission’s $1.4 million Multicultural Advantage Grants Program, support local organisations which work to promote community harmony.

The second round grants will help fund projects with a particular focus on activities that bring diverse groups of people together by strengthening community infrastructures and cultural initiatives

“Cultural diversity is important to our community and we want to ensure we fund projects which strengthen it,” said Stuart Ayres.

Minister for Citizenship and Communities Victor Dominello said we recognise the challenges smaller organisations face in attracting volunteers and raising funds and we encourage them to apply for fi nancial support for projects which promote community harmony, off er mentoring and target geographically or socially isolated communities.

Examples of projects which received funding in the fi rst round include:

• A series of seminars to combat racism in schools;• An interschool sports day to promote fi tness among young

migrant women;• A social support program for elderly people from a minority

migrant group; and• A mental health awareness program for young migrants in a

regional community“In this second round, the focus is on supporting organisations

which represent developing or less-established multicultural communities.” added Stuart Ayres.

Applications are now open and close on 14 March 2014.Further information about Multicultural Advantage Grants

can be found on the CRC website: http://www.crc.nsw.gov.au/multicultural_advantage_grants_program

Catholic Education, Diocese of Parramatta (CEDP), has selected St Joseph’s Primary School Kingswood to participate in their pilot iLearn Anywhere project. The project targets Year 4 students who will each receive an iPad Air to support their learning at school and at home for the remainder of their years in primary school. Teachers will also be provided with an iPad Air and Teaching Educators from CEDP will work with them in the classroom.

The iLearn Anywhere project, facilitated by purposeful, eff ective and creative teaching, transforms learning. Students move from being content ‘consumers’ to own the learning by becoming content ‘creators’. While no device in itself transforms learning, the iPad is a powerful learning tool, which enables content creators to collaborate with others and to refl ect on and share their learning beyond the classroom.

Fran Jackson, principal of St Joseph’s Primary Kingswood, is thrilled that students will have this opportunity to develop a wider set of technology skills while engaging in literacy and numeracy learning.

“To be selected as one of the eight primary schools participating in the project is a refl ection on the great work our teachers do and their commitment in providing a rich learning environment for each of

iLearn Anywhere at St Joseph’s Primary School Kingswood

our students. While the students will be excited to receive an iPad Air, the focus of the project is on using it to achieve improved learning outcomes. We look forward to the possibilities this opportunity provides for our students, staff and parents.” iLearn Anywhere will be launched at parent meeting 7.30pm Monday 10th March.


Ash WednesdayAsh Wednesday in March

commences the season of Lent in the Christian calendar. It had its origin in the early second century after the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Initially lasting one to three days it slowly developed to the current 40 days of observance.

This was due the influence of Saint Athanasius [an early Egyptian Christian] It was never uniformly established throughout the Church, with the eastern Churches varying the length of observance. It was during the Middle Ages that the practice of marking the forehead with ashes became a common practice with the prayer “remember that you are dust and to dust you will return”.

This is a salient reminder that to all intents and purposes our life span is brief in relation to the ongoing path of history. Indeed very few live to be older than 110 years! Yet within our life span is the wonderful challenge to utilize our ability to the best, not governed by greed but the willingness to give in order that life is enhanced.

Lent emerged to enable greater concentration on life style of which fasting is one enabling factor. Today the media emphasis on diet and exercise, often considered to be avant garde, is in reality a secular development of the true religious fast.

Lent also encourages meditation to enhance life style. This is the practice of taking a particular teaching or theme and giving thoughtful consideration which in turn makes prayer more meaningful.

So the season of Lent often considered in terms simply of ‘giving something up for a time’ is better observed as a time of increased discipline [training] to conform to God’s will and purpose.

All the best, Rev John Hebblewhite

Discover, Decide and DiscussLocal six year old, Kyla Devine

(pictured) was born with the medical condition Biliary Atresia. Biliary Atresia is a blockage in the tubes (ducts) that carry liquid called bile from the liver to the gallbladder.

The condition occurs when the bile ducts inside and/or outside the liver do not develop normally. It is not known why the biliary system fails to develop normally and the exact cause of the condition is unknown. It occurs once in every 15,000 births and is slightly more prevalent in girls than boys.

Biliary Atresia is treated through a procedure called Kasai Procedure that connects the liver directly to the intestine to allow for removal of bile. 1 in 3 are successful.

In Kyla’s case, the Kasai Procedure was unsuccessful and

she had a liver transplant at the age of 5 months. Today, Kyla is a bright and happy year one student, who is here today thanks to an organ donor.

It was Organ and Tissue Donation Awareness Week from February 23 to March 2. Various Lions Clubs across the State recently held sausage sizzles on March 1 and 2 at over 90% of the 75 available Bunnings locations throughout New South Wales.

In conjunction with DonateLife, the Lions Clubs were able to pass on valuable information and knowledge about organ donation as well as raise funds through the BBQ’s. Donor registration information was available at Bunnings North Penrith.

To register to become an organ and tissue donor, visit www.donorregister.gov.au to register online. You can also call 1800 777203 or visit a Medicare Service Centre. Your local GP may also have registration forms. You must be 16 years or older to register your organ donation decision on the register.

From the Principal’s DeskLlandilo Public School Principal:

A very welcome addition indeed.We are at full steam ahead and at the time of writing, have already initiated collaboration with families through an informal meet the teacher initiative and, our annual swimming carnival at Windsor Pool has been a blast.My Kindest Regards.Bruno Zuliani (Principal)

PARENTS CORNERArticle by: Narelle Smith (Family Worker) NepeanStudent-Wellbeing Worker – Mulgoa Public School Nepean Community & Neighbourhood ServicesPh: 0409 986 121 Centre: 4721 8520Blog: http://handsheartsminds.wordpress.com

How are you settling into the new-ish year?With the kids back at pre/primary/high school, it’s onto

sizzling routines, packing lunch boxes (sigh), washing school clothes, class information nights, notes from school, and lots of organising. It’s full-on isn’t it?

Sometimes with all of this ‘doing’ we forget about ‘being’ with our kids.

When do you make the time to just ‘be’ with your kids? Time that’s free of distractions, where you ‘hang-out’ and enjoy each other’s company, where there is space for them to talk about what matters to them (the big stuff and little stuff ) , and where you LISTEN.

Some parents say their kids won’t talk to them, or they can’t get past the one word answers like ‘good’, ‘nothing’, ‘nowhere’, and ‘nobody’. I ask those parents if they make the time, and if they do, then do they shut-up? Kids clam up when parents pressure kids for answers, jump in and off er advice, rouse on them for getting things wrong when they’ve had a go. Kids are actually very smart and they can be supported to generate their own solutions to their problems – yes, even really little kids.

I have spaces in the day where I am “with” my kids and fi ll it with my silence and my presence – the walk home from school, afternoon tea, a snuggle on the lounge, one-on-one time with each of the kids even if it is just grocery shopping. Silence is one of my favourite parenting tools, but with the silence comes my openness and willingness to listen and use refl ection when my kids talk (for more information about this, go to the “Refl ective Listening” post at handsheartsminds.wordpress.com).

I recently asked a group of parents the qualities they value in a friend. They said someone who:

• is non-judgemental• listens, listens, listens• doesn’t bombard you with advice• doesn’t blab on about their own stuff , or lecture• you can trust• caresYou are not your child’s friend, but your role as a parent should

off er the same kindness. When do you off er these qualities and ‘the time’ to your child?

� St. Patrick’s Day is observed on March 17 because that is the feast day of St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland. It is believed that he died on March 17 in the year 461 AD. It is also a worldwide celebration of Irish culture and history. St. Patrick’s Day is a national holiday in Ireland and a provincial holiday in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador.

� The actual colour of St. Patrick is blue. Green became associated with St. Patrick's Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by fairies and immortals, and also by people to encourage their crops to grow.

� Shamrocks are worn on the lapel on this day.

� In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair.

� Many young people dye their hair green for the special day.

� Many people wear green on this holiday to avoid being pinched.

Panic AttacksIf you have ever experienced a panic attack or witnessed

someone having one, you will know it can be a very frightening experience.

Panic attacks are periods of intense fear or apprehension that come on suddenly. They are surprisingly common, varying in intensity and duration from minutes to hours.

Signs and symptoms of a panic attack include: • A sense of overwhelming & seemingly uncontrollable

panic, fear or anxiety• The thought that you are dying or ‘losing control’ or

‘going mad’• Increased heart rate, often feeling like a heart attack• Diffi culty breathing (feeling that there is not enough

air)• Excessive perspiration• Dizziness, light-headedness or feeling faint.Triggers for panic attacks - basically any fear can trigger a

panic attack – the memory of a traumatic experience and the thought that it could re-occur; fear of heights & falling, spiders, needles, fl ying, getting lost, etc.

As an onlooker what can you do? Stay calm and assure the person that they are safe. Speak gently but assertively and positively & get some help if necessary. If the person is in any danger, encourage them to move to a safe area.

What can be done to prevent them? By working with a therapist to address the underlying fear, the severity and frequency of panic attacks can be greatly reduced, if not avoided. EFT is eff ective, safe & noninvasive and is gaining world-wide recognition for helping people eliminate their fears.

A Little Ray of SunshinePenrith Valley/Blue Mountains Cancer Help, a not for profit

organisation are holding their annual SUNSHINE DAY for people living with cancer and their carer.

This day is free and reservations are necessary for catering purposes. On the day there will be therapies to try, such as Massage, Reflexology, Reiiki, Bowen, Meditation and Naturopathy plus neck and shoulder massages for carers.

MONEY MATTER$With Alex McKenzie - Future Financial Services Ph: 0414 330 651 E: info@futurefi nancialservices.com.au

Starting a Family?Starting a family is obviously a huge

moment in a person’s life, but it is also a time where seeking fi nancial advice is highly recommended.

When starting a family, the income and expenditure requirements change

immensely. Although initial expenses don’t grow substantially as children grow older, they account for more and more of the family budget. This is especially if full time child care or private school fees are involved.

The biggest change for most couples is going to a single income for a period of time. At the risk of generalising, most modern couples are duel income, at least before they start having children, and their lifestyle becomes reliant on both these incomes.

Preparing for living on one income presents some challenges. The most eff ective way to prepare for this is to reduce fi nancial commitments leading into having a family. This may involve reducing debts, cutting some lifestyle costs or building wealth in advance to prepare for reduced income.

This reduced income due to time off work, whether it is a matter of months or more long term, may open opportunities not normally available. There are strategies that are income tested. Whilst working full time, you or your partner may be unlikely to qualify for this, however earning a reduced income becomes a viable option.

The Government Co-Contribution is an incentive for low income earners to contribute to Superannuation. The Co-

Contribution sees the government match contributions up to $500 for those who earn less than $31,920. The maximum Co-Contribution reduces for amounts over this, phasing out at $48,516. Those that have the funds to make this contribution eff ectively double their investment instantly. For many, this period where income is reduced is the only opportunity they have to qualify for a Co-Contribution.

The Spouse Rebate is another incentive by the government for low income earners to contribute to Superannuation. Those who make after tax contributions to their spouse’s Superannuation fund can be entitled to an 18% tax rebate.

The maximum contribution for this rebate is $3,000, for those earning less than $10,800. This maximum reduces for those earning more with the rebate phasing out at $13,800. Again, the time off work whilst starting a family may be the only time many qualify for this rebate.

The most pressing fi nancial planning matter surrounds insurance. Although many see insurance as a “dirty word”, there is no point in a couple’s life that they are so fi nancial reliant on each other, and the death or disablement of one member of the couple has the potential to fi nancial ruin a family.

With a young family, if the working spouse was unable to work for as little as a few months, with no income coming in at all, most families would be in fi nancial hardship.

There are a number of insurance options and strategies that can avoid this fi nancial risk.

For more information on these strategies and other life events please view our website: www.futurefi nancialservices.com.au

KEEPING FIT WITH Rj Functional Training

Functional training has been one of the biggest buzz words in the fi tness industry for over the last ten years, but what is it? And why is everyone leaning towards this style of training?

Put simply, functional training teaches our muscles to work together, rather than isolating specifi c muscle groups. By focusing on exercises that require you to use movements that you perform in everyday tasks (such as standing, bending, twisting, leaning and reaching) you are not only strengthening your overall core stability and balance, but it is also great for fat/weight loss and assists in injury prevention and rehabilitation.

In our one80 functional training classes, exercises are chosen carefully based on relevance to the client. Equipment such as TRX, dumbbells, kettle bells, ropes and medicine balls, are used in a safe, controlled, small group environment.

I believe we will continue to see growth in this area as more people begin to understand the benefi ts of functional training. Come down and try a one80 class today!

HappyTraining!

Pet Dates a Huge SuccessLast month, Petbarn Penrith (Coreen Ave) in partnership with

Paws 'n' Hooves Animal Rescue took part in Petbarn's fi rst ever national pet dating event aimed at saving the lives of pets in need of a new home through pet adoption. Taking place on Saturday 15 February, just a day after Valentine's Day, it was the perfect occasion for pets and prospective pet parents to fi nd their perfect match. Petbarn Penrith (Coreen Ave) and Paws 'n' Hooves Animal Rescue were able to re-home two pets as a result of the event. While nationally, 132 Aussie pets were re-homed through pet dating events hosted simultaneously in nearly 100 Petbarn stores across the country. Importantly, all adoption fees collected by Petbarn through the event went directly back to Paws 'n' Hooves Animal Rescue.

Paws 'n' Hooves Animal Rescue and Petbarn Penrith (Coreen Ave) worked together to coordinate the event not just to save pet lives, but also to help locals learn more about the importance of pet adoption and to encourage them to consider pet adoption fi rst, when thinking about adding a pet to the family. Patrick Bartush, Store Manager of Petbarn Penrith (Coreen Ave) says, "Our pet dating event was a huge sensation. We had a great turnout, which made it the perfect opportunity to spread the word about the signifi cance of pet adoption. It was also a chance for locals to meet some of the gorgeous pets looking for a loving home. In forming new families, we also saved lives."

Importantly, the benefi ts of pet adoption don't just extend to the pet; research shows that pets can have positive eff ects on their owners by lifting their spirits and helping improve their health and fi tness. One study from the US National Institute of Health# (NIH), found that dog owners who regularly walked their dogs were more physically active and had a reduced chance of being obese than those who did not own or walk a dog.

Whilst this was a one-off event, 43 Petbarn stores across the country have permanent Adoption Centres where customers can meet with animals in need of a new home all year round. To date, more than 4,718 loveable pets have been re-homed through these Petbarn Adoption Centres*. Find out more about pet adoption and Petbarn's Adoption Centres http://www.petbarn.com.au/services/adoptions/.# Source: http://newsinhealth.nih.gov/2009/February/feature1.htm . * Number of recorded pet adoptions up until 15th February 2014

Camille’s Pets!!I am so lucky that I can take my dogs to

work with me every day. They sleep behind the front reception desk and pop up occasionally to say hello to the customers.

Bella is my 13 year old kelpie. She had a slight cough for 3 weeks and had chest radiographs and a heart ultrasound performed.

Bella was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a heart disease which causes the heart muscle to lose its ability to contract. As the heart is not pumping blood forward eff ectively, the blood backs up and causes fl uid to build up in the chest, which Bella was then coughing up. Bella was started on heart medications and the cough has reduced and she is as happy as ever.

The usual outcome for DCM is only a few months, and Bella is now in her 7th month.

Each day I have with my best friend Bella is a gift.

Pony is my Great Dane x Bull Mastiff . He is coming up to 3 years of age and he is still stubborn as a mule. I was kind of looking for a new dog to keep Pony company when Bella passes away, when I found a new

dog at Hawkesbury Pound in October 2013.My new dogs name is Callie, she is 1.5

years of age and is a Great Dane x Italian Greyhound according to the DNA test I had performed. Callie is 45kg and looks a lot like Pony, except she is a brown harlequin colour. I only had Callie for about 1 week before she became unwell. She had a fever and she was very quiet. Blood tests and ultrasound did not reveal the cause of her illness. I sent Callie to see the specialists at SASH at North Ryde, where they performed a spinal tap to obtain a sample of her spinal fl uid. The spinal fl uid was tested and was negative for bacteria, protozoa and fungi. Callie was diagnosed with Steroid Responsive Meningitis-Arteritis (SRMA), which is an autoimmune disease which attacks the central nervous system. Thankfully SRMA is treatable.

Callie was started on a 6 month course of corticosteroids, and she was back to normal within 1 week. Callie ate and drank like a horse whilst on the corticosteroids, which is a normal side eff ect of this drug. Callie was weaned off the corticosteroids and thankfully has had no relapse of the meningitis.

Bella still runs my household and Pony and Callie are like 2 peas in a pod. Every day I have Bella is a blessing and even though I have had time to prepare, I will never be ready for the day when Bella passes away.

I also have 3 cats and 2 pet sheep, but they don’t come to work with me!

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

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

� For a quick and luscious icing, place a layer of chocolate mint patties over a freshly baked cake while it is still hot and leave until the mints soften. Spread with a spatula. For a variation, try flavours such as orange or rum patties.

� For beautiful, shiny clean jewellery, use a soft toothbrush and toothpaste. Rub lightly, rinse and polish with a towel. Diamonds and gold will simply glow.

� Stitch on the lowest button of button-through dresses or uniforms using fine shirring elastic instead of cotton. This allows plenty of give and prevents the button tearing from the material under stress.

� To whiten white clothes, soak white clothes in hot water with a slice of lemon for 10 minutes.� For smelly plastic food containers toss a ball of newspaper into container and seal lid. Smell

will be gone in a few days, stronger smells may take longer. Wash before use.� White vinegar is an inexpensive way to keep your dishes sparkling, just pour white vinegar

in the compartment of your dishwasher instead of a liquid rinse product.
