Maddy Paddles her way to VictoryMaddy Lewis, a local Silverdale resident, has become

the Open Women’s State Champion in both Flatwater and Wild Water SK1 Sprints at the NSWCHS State Canoeing Championships held on the Clarence River in Grafton and the Nymboida River in Nymboida.

At only 16 years of age, Maddy not only won Gold, but also received Silver in several other Open Women’s events such as C1 Flatwater Sprint on the Clarence River in Grafton and C1 Slalom on the White Water in Nymboida. Maddy also achieved 4th place in the mixed C2 Slalom event with team mate James Lloyd- Martin.

Maddy spends from 2- 5 hours a day training both on the water (flat and white) as well as in the gym. Maddy trains at the Olympic White Water Stadium in Penrith and is coached by former World Champion and current Women’s National SK1 Champion Roslyn Lawerance. Maddy often paddles alongside Olympian Jessica Fox.

Along with her time on the water, Maddy also dedicates her time to playing Netball. Her training on the water and in the gym has had an immense impact as it has also allowed Maddy to excel and become a better Netballer.

The Mulgoa Rural Fire Brigade have just received a shiny new toy. A brand new Cat 1 truck. The Category One vehicle is the best you can get and is equipped with everything the team will need in any situation.

The Brigades previous truck which they had for about 7 years, has now been passed on to another Brigade. The Cat 1, is fully equipped with all equipment needed for all types of situations from bush fi res to house fi res and everything in between.

The truck has a 3500 litre tank on-board, while it may sound like a lot, the team explains that “3500L would only last about 3 and a half minutes.”

Captain Deb Smith says that “we have all been doing this for so long now, that in emergency situations we barely have to

speak to each other. As soon as we are on our way, we all know what needs to be done.”

When asked how long it takes from the time a call comes in to when they have the Cat 1 ready to go, the team explained that while they all communicate through pagers, it can take them as little as 5 minutes to get from their individual homes, to the station and on the road.

It is no secret that any member of the Emergency Services is nothing short of incredible, but speaking to the team, it really shows how much hard work and passion they put into their job. Working completely as volunteers, the Rural Fire Brigade is excited and ready to go and can’t wait to get their new toy on the road and into the action.

Take Another Look at ChurchDeep down most people know they really

should get along to Church a bit more. While many people are aware of this, what often stops them is a fear of the unknown.

Either because they haven’t been for a while or they haven’t been at all, there is a fear about what Church might be like. Some people think

Church is a strange, irrelevant place or they might be worried they will stand out or they won’t know what to do or that what happens won’t make sense.

At Mulgoa Anglican Church, we fi rmly believe that what God says to us from the Bible is relevant to every part of our life and relevant to every person, regardless of age, and regardless of whether you’re male or female, old or young, so we work hard to make people feel welcome.

Each week we want to help people discover who Jesus is and why he is still such a signifi cant and fascinating person.

One of the great things we fi nd about the people who come to our Church is that although they might be nervous when they start out, after a few weeks, they are pleasantly surprised to fi nd how relevant what God says to us through the Bible really is!

They are amazed at how the Bible makes sense and applies to their life, giving hope, direction, and comfort. Soon, Church is the highlight of their week!

When people understand that Church is all about a group of people encouraging and supporting each other in life, to know and understand how good God is and the diff erence Jesus makes to our lives, and that it is not about rules and regulations, and that it can even be enjoyable and refreshing, it makes such a diff erence!

18-year-old Silverdale resident, Joel Klein, has been selected to represent NSW All Schools at the upcoming Australian All Schools Basketball Championships. Having made the NSW CCC side, Joel played against both public and independent schools and was the only CCC player chosen for the All Schools side.

Joel started playing basketball at age 6 and has been playing representative for Penrith since the age of 9. Now in Year 12 at St Dominic’s College, Joel has played as a member of the school team since 2011.

Joel has been involved in many sporting opportunities including the NSW Talented Athlete Program (U15), NSW East Coast Challenge Team both 2013 and 2015 while maintaining his representative and school level commitments.

Training 4-5 days a week for about 2 hours a day, Joel secured his spot in the NSW CCC team in May of this year. Over 80 students from Catholic schools across NSW trailed and a team of 10 was selected. The CCC sides then went to a tri- series tournament against NSW CIS (Independent) and NSW CHS (Public) teams. Joel has said “The games were very tough and very intense.” A fi nal team of 10 were chosen for the All Schools team and Joel was the only CCC player selected.

The NSW All- School championships is exceedingly competitive and highly regarded. American College Coaches are present and scouting for their colleges. This is a very exciting opportunity for Joel as he has said “Going to a college in the USA is defi nitely a dream. I would love to get scouted to a junior college. Even to tour over there would be a dream come true.” Joel is currently considering a few tours to USA for the end of the year.

Despite all his sporting success so far, Joel is still determined to work hard and fi nish his HSC. He has said “I plan to fi nish school and hopefully get a high enough ATAR to go to University. I hope I can keep playing basketball at the level I currently am.”

Along with playing basketball, Joel also plays rugby league for his local team ‘The Warragamba Wombats’ and has played for them since under 8’s.

Joel has an exciting and bright sporting career ahead of him and we are all looking forward to seeing all his future success.

COUNSELLING CORNER

New research suggests parents should not discuss weight with a daughter, even if she is at a healthy weight.

Investigators from the Cornell Food & Brand Lab found that the less a parent comments on weight to a daughter, the less likely she is to be dissatisfi ed with her weight as an adult. The fi ndings show that women who recall their parents commenting on their weight are more prone to being overweight and are less satisfi ed with their weight as adults.

“Commenting on a woman’s weight is never a good idea, even when they are young girls,” says lead author Brian Wansink, Ph.D., and author of “Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life.”

The research fi ndings appear in the journal Eating & Weight Disorders.

In the study, 501 women between 20 and 35 years old were surveyed about their body image and asked to recall how frequently their parent(s) commented about their weight.

Those with a healthy BMI were 27 percent less likely to recall their parents commenting on their weight and 28 percent less likely to recall parents commenting on eating too much compared to women whose BMI indicated they were overweight.

Importantly, both overweight and healthy weight women who did recall their parents commenting on their weight as youths were less satisfi ed with their weight as adults.

Researchers believe this indicates that weight related comments can be damaging to body image regardless of weight. These fi ndings suggest that commenting about girls’ weight can have a negative impact later in life.

“If you’re worried about your child’s weight, avoid criticizing them or restricting food. Instead, nudge healthy choices and behaviours by giving them freedom to choose for themselves and by making the healthier choices more appealing and convenient,” Wans ink said.

“After all, it’s the choices that children make for themselves that will lead to lifelong habits.” (www.psychcentral.com)

Council has welcomed the State and Federal Government’s commitment of $100m to widen Mulgoa Road to six lanes between the M4 and Blaikie Road.

Council has been pushing for better movement across the city, lobbying hard to see the 6km stretch of Mulgoa-Castlereagh Road between Glenmore Park and Andrews Road widened to three lanes each way.

Penrith Mayor Karen McKeown said Council’s representations saw $5 million allocated for design and assessment in 2015.

“No doubt this confi rmed what we all already knew – it can take a ridiculous amount of time to get across our City on Mulgoa Road and it’s time to get on with fi xing it.”

“It recently took me 20 minutes to travel less than a kilometre on Mulgoa Road – this is not unique or unusual and I hear from residents all the time about the time it can take to get into Penrith’s City Centre or off the M4, from Glenmore Park to the station,” Cr McKeown said.

The Federal and State Government announced $80 million and $20 million respectively to Stage 1 of the widening. This is in addition to $70m of joint funding already committed to Castlereagh Road/Jane Street/High Street intersection upgrade. Geotechnical investigations are currently underway to prepare for this work.

Stage 2 will see works occur from the M4 to Glenmore Parkway, Stage 3 from Coreen Avenue to Museum Drive and Stage 4 to the Andrews Road interchange.

Penrith Council had listed the widening of Mulgoa-Castlereagh Road as one of its top 6 advocacy priorities for 2016.

“It was also highlighted as an example of how infrastructure hasn’t kept up with population growth in the national Fund our Future campaign which makes the case for a dedicated infrastructure fund for growth Cities like ours,” Cr McKeown said.

“Five million Australians – and counting – in fast-growing suburbs on the outskirts of our capital cities are confronted daily with congested roads and insuffi cient public transport and Australia’s fastest growing councils have united to make the case for a more strategic approach to infrastructure funding.”

Latest @ Luddenham by Wayne Willmington

Early last month Luddenham had a visit from Angus Taylor MP

member for Hume (most of Luddenham is now in the Federal Electorate). Around twenty local residents asked questions and spoke of matters of concern, including Northern Rd, M12, and properties under Airport fl ight paths that have not been purchased. It was a success with residents getting their thoughts listened to by somebody who seemed to care.

On the same day, Angus Taylor offi cially opened the new home of the Ornamental Turners Group of Australia at the Luddenham Showground. They meet on Wednesdays at the Showground. They are mainly a group of retired wood turners, engineers etc, who have a common interest in designing and manufacturing of lathes for ornamental turning and then using this equipment to make splendid, ornamental wood turned articles. If you are interested in meeting and looking at their equipment please get

in contact with John on 4739 1764. Further info at http://www.otga.org.au/Welcome.htm

With the recent storm damage of Picton Showground, Luddenham Show Society has off ered them the use of Luddenham Showground, including any of their assets as well as manpower to help at their October Show. Despite this, the Picton Society have decided to cancel their 2016 Show.

In 2018 Luddenham Show Society will be hosting the Royal Easter Showgirl Zone Final on Saturday 24th February, this is a great honour for Luddenham. We can also confi rm that the 2018 Show will be held on the 17th & 18th of February, with the 2017 Show to be held on the 18th & 19th February, so save the dates.

The Progress Association petition to the Luddenham houses in Liverpool Council, asking the residents to sign the petition if they are interested in moving into Penrith Council has had lots of replies, but due to the Election they have extended the return date to the 6th of July. You can still mail it to Luddenham Progress, PO Box 58 Luddenham 2745 or scan and email to [email protected]. If you have not received a petition and you live in Luddenham and are in Liverpool Council they can be downloaded from the Luddenham Progress Association Facebook page.

The Luddenham Cuppa for Cancer (Biggest Morning Tea) held in late May, raised a massive $44,605. That fi gure also includes money from the fete & plant stall thanks to all concerned especially Jean & Artie.

If you have an opinion on what Luddenham of the future should be like please email your thoughts or views to [email protected]

PARENTS CORNER

This month, we continue the series on ‘Parent Traps’ that we started in April.Escalation Traps – Child Escalation

Children can learn that to get what they want, they escalate their behaviour. They do more of everything - whinge, nag, cry, scream, shout. Anything to get what they want.

Why do they do this? They do it because it works for them.The parent gets tired or overwhelmed, and just gives in. What does the child learn from this?To get what I want I keep pushing until I get what I want.

Escalation Traps – Parent Escalation

A parent asks a child to do something. The child doesn’t move. The parent asks again. And again. And again. After several requests the parent gets frustrated and starts to yell.

When the parent is angry, screaming, counting, or making threats, the child decides that it is time to do as the parent asks.

What does the child learn from this?My parent is only serious about the request when she is

yelling. This is why parents say “my child never listens to me”. Do these escalation traps happen at your place? Sometimes

the child and parent escalate together and it’s a screaming match and a fi ght over something simple.What Is The Remedy?

Make a clear, calm request. Make sure you have your child’s attention by saying his name, getting eye contact, touching him on the shoulder. Tell him what to do rather than what not to do. And make it a request, not a question. If the child complies, give him descriptive praise “thank you for doing as I ask”. If your child does not comply after two clear, calm requests, calmly give him a consequence. The consequence doesn’t need to be harsh, you just need to let your child know that you mean what you say.Struggling?

When it comes to having skills that are most valued to Warragamba Preschool, new Director Amanda Douglass ticks the boxes - and then some. Having taken on the role of Nominated Supervisor since the start of 2016, Amanda has readily stepped into the position and proved to be a motivated and passionate leader for the preschool.

Amanda has been involved in a number of roles both within the preschool and other early childhood centres. She is currently enrolled in a Bachelor of Teaching which brings more depth of understanding to the wide range of young children needs.

“The preschool is such a special place. I decided to apply for the role of Teaching Director after spending term one working as the Nominated Supervisor. This allowed me to see the preschool from a diff erent perspective whilst maintaining relationships with the beautiful children and families. I have worked in early childhood education and care for over eighteen years. I am passionate about engaging children and supporting their individual learning from an early age. The educators at Warragamba Preschool share the same passion, commitment and dedication to providing a high quality, educational service.” said Amanda.

There is something else that makes her even more valuable to the preschool, Amanda is a mum. She is well experienced in the needs of and challenges faced by additional needs children and families requiring support and guidance.

“Supporting and working with children and families with additional needs has been the highlight of my career to date. Every single child not only deserves to, but has a right to feel safe, secure and supported.”

Warragamba Preschool is keen to grow its enrolments in all age groups from 2-6 years and working on establishing collaborative partnerships with families, staff and the local community. Amanda comes to the role well equipped and motivated to help the preschool grow further.

“Warragamba Preschool has been instrumental in providing high quality care and education for the children within the local community. Last year we received exceeding in all seven quality areas during our assessment and rating process. This year we would like to grow preschool numbers and build on our current networks. Our preschool is embedded in a beautiful natural setting of Lilly Pilly’s, gum trees, and even some friendly

possums. We have ‘real’ grass and before the end of the year, we will have a brand new playground make over, designed by the children, families and staff thanks to a local council grant and lots of fundraising by our dedicated committee and parents.”

The Committee, staff and families all welcome Amanda to the new role and look forward to seeing her thrive as leader of Warragamba Preschool.

Please contact the preschool on 4774-1249 for further information or come in for a visit to explore our wonderful learning environments.

Warragamba Preschool: New Director Profi le | Amanda Douglass

Fast 5 with Amanda DouglassMy mantra/philosophy:

My philosophy is that every child regardless of ability, skill or circumstance should be valued and supported for who they are. As teachers it is our duty to enrich the path of each individual child’s learning, support respectful relationships with our families, and embrace diversity and inclusion.

Defi ne your job in one word: AmazingBest things about the industry you work in: The children and families that I have had the privilege to work with.Tell us one thing that most people don’t know

about you: I was born and raised in London, England and became a proud Australian citizen in 2013. Top tip for parents: Be kind to yourself, as parents sometimes we get it right and at times we make mistakes but we never stop trying to make a diff erence in the lives of our children.

Maddy Paddles her way to VictoryMaddy works exceedingly hard with such commitment

and passion to the sport. Taking out the Gold at the State Championships was only the beginning for Maddy as she continues to work hard in order to maintain her wins in future competitions.

While making the Olympic Team is definitely one of Maddy’s ultimate goals, Mum Julie has said that “at the moment, the aim is to make the Junior World Cup Team.”

Since the age of 13, Maddy has been pushing herself to new heights in the world of canoeing and has said that winning the State Championships is definitely one of her greatest achievements.

A big thank you to Karen & Jessie for helping us locate my son’s workboots!

We love that everyone pitches in and helps each other across the community.

Your help was greatly appreciated and thanks for making a difference!

If you’re sick of being in constant back pain

for your Assessment Session!

Valued at $55Andreas KleinNutritionist &

Remedial TherapistBSc, Adv Dip Nut Med, DRM

I’ve personally developed this technique after 16yrs experience:

“After years of severe back pain I’m now enjoying golf, fully pain free and even started brick-laying again!” – John Hasler, Glenmore Park

“I’d given up really - I’d tried so many things. In just a couple of sessions the pain and muscle spasms had gone. I recommend your

work to anyone.” – Craig Gibson, Richmond

Work & play like you used to after just a few sessions!

It works well for shoulders & knees too.

Low ‘Bone Density’ – Are Drugs Really the Answer? Many patients attend the clinic with low bone density -

osteopenia or osteoporosis. They are commonly prescribed bisphosphonate drugs by their GP to increase bone density & reduce fracture risk. These drugs do increase bone density, but astoundingly also increase the risks for:

1. Certain thigh bone fractures – bones become more dense but also more brittle,

2. Gastrointestinal problems such as indigestion & heartburn, nausea/vomiting, and chest pain. These side eff ects cause up to 20% of patients to discontinue treatment

3. Severe, sometimes incapacitating bone, joint, and/or muscle pain

4. Bisphosphonate-related decay of the jaw bone (called ‘BRONJ’). This is very rare but:

a. Intravenous bisphosphonates - often used for cancer patients, leads to a high risk for BRONJ (0.8% to 12% of patients ), this increases the longer the drug is givenb. Oral bisphosphonates leads to about 1 BRONJ case in 1500 patient years (100 fold greater than general population).

A recent paper published in the prestigious British Medical Journal stated that ‘bisphosphonates’ (taken for hip fracture prevention) are ‘neither viable as a public health strategy nor cost eff ective’. The authors found that:1. No evidence exists that these drugs are eff ective at

preventing fractures in men2. In post-menopausal women, in whom osteoporosis is

most often problematic, ‘175 women with bone fragility would need to be treated for three years to prevent’ just ‘one hip fracture’; while all patients remain at risk of side eff ects, but in women over 80, where most fractures occur no evidence of benefi t exists.

3. A recent analysis by the FDA found people receiving bisphosphonates continuously for 6 years had more fractures than a second group who took bisphosphonates for only 3 years then switched to placebo for 3 years

4. Age adjusted incidence of hip fractures has fallen steadily in most Western countries… and this ‘does not seem to be attributable to drug treatment’

5. Poor balance is a much better predictor of bone fracture than bone density

6. Other bone density drug options such as Denosumab; strontium ranelate; & ‘Vitamin D & Calcium’ supplementation all have effi cacy & risk questions hanging over them.

This becomes terribly confusing for most people. What should one do?

Whether you take pharmaceuticals or try alternative approaches, it’s important you do your research thoroughly and discuss pros and cons with your doctor. There are some excellent natural strategies that one can implement to improve balance & bone density. Next month we’ll discuss some of these, meantime if you have back problems or are worried about bone density why not come talk to us at BHW - see our ad for contact details.
