“Kids Holiday Club” It’s pretty common to hear
people say “the kids are our fu-ture”. There’s a whole lot of truth in that isn’t there! It is so impor-tant isn’t it for us to think about what it is that we want our kids to learn and the values we want to them to have, and in turn, to pass onto their children.
At Glenmore Park Anglican Church we believe that a key way to do this is to let our children know about the God who loves them and about how good it is to love him. Jesus himself said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the king-dom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.”
Many of the activities at our church are set up with this goal
of helping children know Jesus. One great opportunity that kids will have to learn more about our good God is at the July Holiday Kids Club. See the ad for all the details.
We have run these Kids Holi-day Clubs each year for the past few years and the kids have an absolutely fantastic time! Lots of games, activities, music, skits, stories, friends and food! The Holiday Club will provide a safe and fun environment for your chil-dren with trained and experienced leaders, while you have the morn-ing off or can choose to stay for a cappuccino!

Tanya davies, liberal for Mulgoa Electorate
I am passionate about making our community a better place to work, raise a family and enjoy life. Our community needs a fresh start and a strong vision for the future. As a local councillor, I have successfully fought for local road safety improvements and, most recently, secured a commitment from Council to upgrade local playgrounds.
My husband, Mark, and I are
raising our young daughter, Laura, in Glenmore Park. As a mother, I have a genuine interest in making sure my daughter grows up in a strong, safe and caring c o m m u n i t y . That’s why I’m campaigning for more frontline police, improved
public transport, the Erskine Park Link Road to the M7 to take trucks off our streets, and much-needed resources for Nepean Hospital.
There’s a lot of work to be done. That’s why I’m campaigning in the community and listening to your issues. Together we can have a fresh start in the Mulgoa electorate and work towards Making NSW Number One Again.
Please contact me on 0435 874 850 if you would like to discuss your concerns and issues.

New Child restraint laws
The NSW Government has up-dated Child Restraint Laws, which commenced on 1st March 2010. The new Laws require ALL children under seven years of age to be secured in a suitable child restraint or booster seat when travelling in a vehicle. Driv-ers will need to ensure that children younger than four years of age do not travel in the front seat of a vehicle with two or more rows. Drivers will also
need to ensure that children aged four years to under seven years of age do not travel in the front seat of a vehicle with two or more rows unless all other back seats are occupied by children younger than seven years.
An unrestrained child sitting in the rear seat of a vehicle can hit the driv-er with force equivalent to the weight of a baby elephant. Surveys carried out by Kidsafe have found that some 69% of all child restraints inspected were found to be incorrectly fitted and some 25% would have put the child at risk of death or serious injury in an accident. Most importantly, properly fitted child restraints can reduce the
risk of death or serious injury in road crashes by up to 70%. It is therefore vitally important to have all child re-straints fitted, if not inspected, by a trained professional.
Beesafe Travel is an RTA Author-ised Child Restraint & Seat Belt in-stallation service, who have over 15 years experience in the professional fitting of child restraints. As Glenmore Park’s local authorised professionals, they operate a mobile service which comes to you and a standard installa-tion starts from just $30. A small price to pay for maximum piece of mind....Call Angela at 0404 132 208. More details in the advert below.

Market for Baby & Kids Goods Grab your shopping bags and make room in the car boot!
Penrith is hosting the Baby & Kids Market, Australia’s origi-nal and biggest market for quality pre-loved baby and kids’ stuff. Come along and discover why this Market has become such a phenomenon around Australia. With over 60 stalls to choose from, there will be a huge variety of goods on offer.
The Baby & Kids Market is the perfect place to stock up on furniture, prams, toys, clothes, books and just about anything imaginable for babies and chil-dren – without it costing the earth. With stallholders selling their ‘gently used’ wares at very reasonable prices, it’s a fun way to grab some recession-

busting bargains while reduc-ing waste and doing your bit for our planet.
“You can literally save yourself thousands of dollars at the Baby & Kids Market” says Anne Lewis, the Mar-ket’s founder. “You’ll find fan-tastic pre-loved brand name items in top condition, and
often save around 70% off the retail price. Our stallholders are parents who want to find good homes for things their families no longer use and earn some money at the same time”. Whether you need to furnish the entire nursery for a baby on the way, or are looking to fill your three-year-old’s
toy box or stock up on clothes for a fast-growing five-year-old, you’re bound to find exactly what you need.
“We all want the best stuff for our kids, but don’t want to waste money or add to landfill. Kids grow so fast that some items barely get used before they’ve outgrown them. Buy-ing ‘gently used’ goods like high chairs, prams, bikes, cots, toys, change tables, playpens, clothes and DVDs from oth-er parents makes perfect sense. Our customers become so excited to find exceptional bargains, and stallholders love recycling unwanted items while making a handy few hun-dred dollars. Everyone wins!” The Baby & Kids Market has a buzzing atmosphere and is an excellent source of infor-mation and friendly advice for new parents.

World Haidong Gumdo Games
Haidong Gumdo is a sword mar-tial art which draws from Korean bat-tlefield tactics and techniques to build a curriculum for mental, physical and spiritual development. Students of Haidong Gumdo learn meditation and proper breathing exercises that will relieve stress and promote a healthy body and mind. Although most people will not have heard of the name, Hai-dong Gumdo is now one of the fastest growing martial arts in the world.
After teaching Taekwondo in Glen-more Park for the past 9 years Nepean
Wolves now also offers Haidong Gum-do.The Haidong Gumdo syllabus cov-ers the practice of basic techniques (kibon), forms (pumsae), step sparring (yaksuk daeryun), sparring (hada), en-ergy building exercises (qi gong) and cutting practice (begi).
Nepean Wolves Haidong Gumdo instructor, Luke Adlam, is currently training for the World Haidong Gumdo games following his success at the 2009 National Championships

locally built John Bonwick has been building
aviaries and rabbit hutches for many years at his premises on Russell Street in Emu Plains. John started out mak-ing wire ladders for cave and crevass-es in Antartica exploration. Then he added ladders for lighting rigs at rock concerts, fishermen and bird watchers. About 20 years ago he added quilting hoops for patchwork but now aviaries are the major part of production.
John builds his aviaries, rabbit hutches, chicken pens and dog runs on a standard modular basis so that they can be easily extended to a vari-ety of shapes and sizes. You can see many of them displayed at the premis-es on Russell Street in Emu Plains.

Orchard Hills veterinary HospitalWhat happens when your beloved
pet breaks a bone? Itcan be repaired in a number of ways and it usually depends on the type of fracture, which bone is fractured, the age of the pet and the size of the pet. Recently we have had 4 pets with broken bones.
‘Boots’ is a 10 month old domestic shorthair cat who has a habit of climbing onto the roof and jumping off! Boots had a fractured radius, which is a bone in the front leg. Boots came in every week for a cast change to ensure that he did not get any pressure sores from the cast. Once the cast was removed after 5 weeks, Boots had a great time licking his leg again. Hopefully Boots has learnt his lesson and does not climb on the roof again.
‘Winston’ is a Miniature bull terrier puppy who fell down the stairs while p l a y i n g . Winston was radiographed and was found to have a greenstick fracture of the femur, which is his thigh
bone. Lucky for Winston, greenstick fractures heal very quickly within 2-4 weeks. A bandage on the leg was all that was required to provide some support while the bone healed itself. Winston even managed to complete his Puppy Pre School Training while wearing his bandage.
‘Freckles’ is a 5 year old 40kg Mastiff who went missing for a night and came home not using his back leg at all. The owners suspected that Freckles had been kicked by a cow. He was found to have a fractured tibula and fibula (shin bones) with several pieces of fractured bone at the fracture site. As Freckles is a large breed of dog and the bone was badly broken, he was sent to the Parramatta Veterinary Surgical Specialists who placed a stainless steel plate over the fracture site and obtained a bone graft from his hip to place at the fracture site. Freckles had the added complication of having an injury of the skin over
the fracture site which potentially may have allowed bacteria to penetrate into the wound and bone, so Freckles was placed on a long course of antibiotics. Freckles bone has healed well and he is running around again.
‘Faye’ is an 18 month old German Shepherd dog who hurt her front leg after a heavy metal pole fell on her. Radiographs revealed that Faye had broken 3 of the 4 metacarpal bones in her paw. The bones were not badly displaced and a cast was applied to the leg to provide stability whilst the bones repaired. Faye had weekly cast changes and is due to have follow up radiographs soon to ensure the bones have healed sufficiently to remove the cast.
