! e months roll around very quickly, don’t they, and suddenly it’s time for another column.
Fresh in my mind… ! e Wiggles have decided it was time for a change of skivvies and Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke went and got married without telling anyone.
In both cases there were a few pot shots.
For the Wiggles, why isn’t the Blue Wiggle Anthony following Murray, Greg and Je" out the door… Why did they get rid of Sam earlier this year? ! e Wiggles have lost their # zz, their appeal. Will replacements have the same success and so on?
For the new Mr and Mrs Clarke, there were those who were a little mi" ed that Michael and Kyly got married in private, not in the glare of a magazine or TV deal.
For mine, the Wiggles and the Clarkes got it completely right.
Live your life the way you want to live your life, not the way others think you should live your life.
Too many people dance to the tune of others. Getting married is not a business deal, it’s one of the truly great moments in life and for goodness sakes who wants dark umbrellas and security guards overwhelming your special day.
None of that for Michael and Kyly... just a ceremony with family and close friends. ! e way it should be.
But at the same time, Michael played it smart. He knew there would be plenty of interest, so he released a series of pictures. Everyone could celebrate their great day! Well done.
And for ! e Wiggles, this day was always coming.
For Murray and Geo" especially: little time with family, weariness and endless travel were some of the catalysts that drove their retirement.
! ey have more than enough money… it was time to live their lives the way they wanted to.
I remember clearly what life was like on the road for the Wiggles,
having spent a week with them in America for ‘60 Minutes’.
It was relentless. Living in each other’s pockets, moving from city to city, country to country… rolling out the shows, back on the bus or plane and onto the next gig.
It was constant for two decades and yes it made the cast members very comfortable in the dollar stakes.
And it was great fun – I have actually performed with ! e Wiggles and it is a life highlight. In front of about six thousand kids and their mums and dads in Florida, yellow Wiggle Greg hauled me onto the stage to perform hot potato!
For Murray, Geo" , Greg and Michael and Kyly, they are all living their lives the way they want to live their lives and not to the tune of others.
A very good motto for all of us to live by.
Hope to see you for Nine News, Sydney’s number one, nightly at 6pm.

The CEO of Homelessness NSW, Gary Moore, continues to be concerned for the residents of Marrickville’s
estimated 200-plus unlicensed boarding houses following the ! ndings of the inquest into the deaths of six people at a Livingstone Road hostel between 2009 and 2010.
“" ere are some good proprietors and managers of these dwellings and some real shockers,” Mr Moore told ! e Inner City Weekender.
“I do hold fears for the welfare of residents who are both very poor and have mental health issues, or who are elderly or who are sole parents with children.”
A community coalition, including Marrickville Council and Homelessness NSW, says it welcomes the planned reforms to the sector announced by the NSW Government.
“" e fact that the reforms will address the standards of both licensed and unlicensed boarding houses demonstrates that the government is committed to tackling the di# ering, but equally serious, problems,” said Julia Murray from the Make " is a Home Coalition.
But Mr Moore says more needs to be done to regulate the sector.
“" e [governments] should be providing e# ective ! nancial incentives to owners to upgrade these types of premises… and a registration system should be operated by local councils,” he said.

An 18-year old woman who was struck by a van in Marrickville
early on Tuesday morning is the latest pedestrian to be involved in a road accident whilst listening to music on a personal device.
! e woman was struck by the vehicle on Sydenham Road, near the intersection of Northcote Street, at 12.50am.
Marrickville Police Inspector, Michael Lauricella, said she was listening to an
iPod as she crossed the road. ! e woman su" ered
serious internal injuries, including a ruptured spleen and broken bones, and was taken to RPA Hospital where she has undergone surgery.
! e driver of the Toyota Hi-ace van, a 74-year-old man, underwent mandatory blood and urine testing.
Police say speed was not likely to have been a factor in the accident.
Tuesday’s accident is the
latest in a spate of pedestrian accidents in Sydney this month, prompting police to call a media conference on Tuesday to warn about the dangers of listening to music while crossing busy roads.
Investigators are keen to speak with anyone who may have been in the area at the time and who may have witnessed the incident. Contact Marrickville Police Station on 9568 9299 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Work has begun on a new inner west day care centre for people with dementia,
including those who have younger onset dementia.
# e facility is being built in Dalhousie Street, Haber$ eld, with $1.3 million in funding from the state and federally-funded Home and Community Care (HACC) program.
NSW Minister for Disability
Services, Andrew Constance, said it was important to create new facilities for younger dementia su! erers.
“# ere are more than 5,260 people with dementia in NSW who are younger, and more continue to be diagnosed, so it is important we have purpose-built facilities,” Mr Constance said.
“# e Haber$ eld centre will be the 14th of 16 centres to be completed as part of the HACC program.”
# e new facility will help meet the growing demand for specialised
dementia services in the area and provide support to people with dementia and their carers through outings, day trips, social activities and nursing and health services.
“# ese packages will provide a new way for younger people with dementia to plan and live a good life,” Mr Constance said.
# e Dalhousie Street facility will be run by # e Ella Centre, who specialise in dementia care and programs for younger onset dementia su! erers.

Breastfeeding your baby now forms part of the guidelines to reducing the risk of sudden and unexpected death in
infants.SIDS and Kids have announced revised
guidelines to reduce the risk of the unexpected death, including a new recommendation – ‘breastfeed your baby if you can’.
Author of the review and safe sleeping expert, Adjunct Professor Jeanine Young, said consistent ! ndings of studies conducted over the past 15 years show that breastfeeding helps reduce sudden death in infancy.
“An analysis of the results of 18 studies shows that the risk of sudden and unexpected infant death is signi! cantly reduced for mothers who exclusively breastfeed and for a longer duration of breastfeeding,” she said.
While the link between breastfeeding and reducing sudden infant death has been con! rmed, Prof Young says it is just one of six recommendations.
“Factors like not smoking near babies and sleeping babies on their back are equally important ways to signi! cantly reduce the risk,” she said.
" e guidelines have been announced ahead of the upcoming 25th anniversary of Red Nose Day on June 25 – the # agship fundraiser for SIDS and Kids.
SIDS and Kids is an Australian organisation dedicated to saving the lives of children during pregnancy, birth, infancy and childhood.

Do you need help taming your terrible toddlers? A University
of Sydney study is looking for participants for research into whether parenting programs can e! ectively help manage challenging behaviours in toddlers.
" e study is aimed at the parents of children who show physically aggressive behaviours such as kicking, biting, hitting or pushing and are aged two or three-
years-old. “Research has found
that about 50 per cent of 12-month-olds show some form of aggression and this # gure increases to about 80 per cent by age two,” said Lucy Tully, a researcher in the School of Psychology at the University.
“While physical aggression tends to start declining from about the age four, toddlers who are aggressive more often are at high risk of these behaviours
continuing.“" ere is emerging
evidence that brief parenting programs can work and that parents prefer them to longer programs but no studies have so far compared a brief and longer format parenting program,” Ms Tully said.
Families must be able to travel to the University of Sydney for initial appointments. " e researchers are recruiting until September 2012.
Chronic kidney disease is one of the biggest killers in Australia,
so next week people are encouraged to wear red undies to raise awareness of the condition.
‘Red Undies Week’ is an initiative of Kidney Health Australia.
Cheerleader, Caitlin Alderson, will be wearing red
undies next week because she believes that a small action taken by one person can work to bene# t many.
“If we can empower other community members to get involved, it will raise awareness and give everyone the opportunity to help out those in need,” she said.
‘Red Undies Week’ is a nation wide initiative that encourages people to wear red undies from Sunday, May 27 until Saturday, June
2, as a “cheeky” way to give exposure to kidney health.
In Australia, about 50 people die from a kidney related disease each day, which according to Kidney Health Australia, makes kidney health all the more important.
" e national health campaign is planning to make a big red splash, and ensure that kidney health (and red undies) get the attention they deserve!

Cautious small business operators are missing out on potential investment opportunities because they worry about the wider global outlook, research suggests. Accounting " rm PFK Australia says small business needs to focus on the positives in Australia or they risk scaring o# foreign investment.
! ere seems to be this ongoing economic pessimism and it almost seems to be a self-ful" lling prophecy. We’re constantly bombarded with Armageddon-like headlines about the Greece collapse, American debt levels and China’s growth rate, not to mention falling Australian property prices and a share market decline. I’m guilty of it myself – just last week I wrote about the tens of thousands of Aussie small businesses experiencing " nancial stress. It’s time to look in the bright side.
Granted that the European economy is a genuine risk, the US has plenty of work to do and China will certainly slow at some point. But property and share values will, as always, move in cycles. Plus business lending channels are reopening in Australia and new ones are being added. Unless we present to foreign economies that we are getting on with business, we’re going to miss opportunities for further investment into the economy from overseas.
Focus on positivesPrepare for an upturn

Golden rules for food shopping
Q. I hate going to the supermarket. What are your
tips to help me make better food choices that will keep me and my family healthy – and be cheaper as well?
Here are my Five Golden Rules for food shopping:
Never go food shopping 1. when you are hungry! Shopping on an empty stomach is a fast way to come home with a trolley full of rubbish. Research has shown that we unconsciously make food choices that are higher in energy, fat and sugar when we shop on an empty stomach. Make sure you feed the kids before you take them too!Take a list and use it! Make 2. a list before leaving home that takes into account what’s already there. Don’t forget to bring it out at the shops and tick o! your items as you go. If you do this, you will make less spontaneous poor food choices. Live on the edge! All 3.
supermarkets are designed with the most nutritious and cheapest food on the outer aisles: fruit and veg, dairy, meat, breads. Once you move into the centre you’re in the ‘danger zone’ in terms of packaged (and therefore higher energy, fat, salt and sugar) foods. Switch o! your auto-pilot! 4. Most of us are so habitual about doing the shopping we could do it with our eyes closed! What this means is we may not see the healthier or cheaper food options. Next time you go take a di! erent circuit and take the time to compare products on other shelves. Compare, compare, 5. compare! Not all mueslis, yogurts, fruit juices, breads or just about any other packaged foods were created equal! Get familiar with how to read nutrition panels.

What choice will you make?
A man’s reach should exceed his grasp. Why would we choose to strive for something we are unsure we can ever obtain? And what’s that got to do with a " tness column?
# at choice means a lot of di! erent things to di! erent people. I believe it’s an evolutionary selection process. I think everyone alive today has an in built desire to succeed. Imagine this: A long time ago in our ancient past, our great great something grandmother had a baby when food was scarce, but she chose to keep this baby and do everything she could to provide and care for it. # e father looked at those two sitting in his cave and knew he had to get some food if they were to survive the winter. So he made a choice to sharpen a little stick and go out and try to bring down a mammoth with it. If they had chosen to do nothing they wouldn’t survive the winter and they certainly wouldn’t have o! spring to be reading this paper.
# at’s the thing with evolution, it doesn’t give out ‘better luck next time’ badges. So if we have made it here, it’s in our DNA to want to try. Maybe that’s why someone decides
they want to climb Everest, run a marathon, or see how many push-ups they can do. Or maybe they want to make the best quilt or learn to sing. But we all feel a need to be good at something, maybe even the best! I think that goes to the soul of what being alive is. Don’t squash it down with excuses or try justifying poor choices.
Right now, it’s our time in the evolutionary line. Sure these days the glow from the " re might be replaced with the light from the TV.
But the results haven’t changed all that much. We might not starve to death, but we won’t live very well or full lives either. So go out and test yourself. You can’t " ght instinct, it might be well hidden but it’s there. # ere’s something you have always wanted to be better at. How can you get better at it right now and how would you feel making the choice to do that? For the grandparents, the grand kids or yourself. Right now is your turn, so what choice will you make?

You are going to be feeling most unpopular and neglected during
the next few weeks. Your anxieties will be high, perhaps you’ve just separated from a relationship/friendship, or your loved ones are preoccupied or living some distance away. It is time to look at how you’ve been treating certain friends and if you’ve argued you should take the higher ground and be prepared to apologise for any wrong doing!
“Love don’t come easy”, as the song says. Well not during June
anyhow. It’s not worth trying to get on good terms with your lover this month, because everything you try to say or do will be misconstrued in some way. Your motives may be in a good place, but your partner will not be in the best of moods. He or she will be more than likely interested in having a ! t of the sulks as opposed to giving you the love and reassurance you need!
Your understanding and tolerance is going to be the key to
success in your relationship life and social circle at the moment. Venus retrograde in your own sign is a stress indicator. You’d be wise to build some bridges within a close relationship/friendship, either that or be prepared to let an emotional link drift away... possibly for good! Communication is the key to happiness, so make sure you use your charm to resolve this situation.
It is going to be necessary to take a sensitive attitude towards those
you work with and to be careful not tread on their egos. Tolerance and patience is going to be called for as everybody is going to be highly stressed. Try not to take other people’s attitudes too personally, keep your nose to the grind stone and chin up. " ese stressful situations will not be around forever, so remain positive and it is important to look to the future.
" e universe has been testing your inner strengths. Instead of
letting life get you down by becoming depressed, extremely moody and irritable, it is important to try to remain strong and positive. If you are travelling you should expect delays and hold ups. And, when dealing with foreigners expect misunderstandings. If handling legal papers be prepared for mix ups – it is for this reason that you should be certain to read everything twice.
Guard against being manipulated by others or agreeing to anything
that you are not responsible for when you are not aware of the full facts. Be on guard against those who want to manipulate you for their own well-being, either in connection with money or a relationship matter. Jealousy is going to be in the air at the moment and you need to be careful of playing mind games with other people as it may just back ! re on you!
Your emotions will be strong during the next few weeks as Venus,
your ruling planet, is running in retrograde motion. You will ! nd it particularly hard not to over react to situations and it will be extremely di# cult to be detached and objective. You may expect your partner to live by one set of rules whilst you yourself live by another. Hooray for the good old double standard. Be wary of over indulging in the good things of life!
You’d be wise not to start any new work projects during the next few
weeks. Instead, you should focus on what is already on your plate. It may be necessary for you to go back over old work. So don’t be in a hurry to complete projects until you are certain that you have crossed the T’s and dotted the I’s. It would also be a good idea to focus on getting ! t – this means avoiding calorie laden food and embarking on a regular exercise program!
It is now time to get your mind into gear concerning the state of
your ! nances. Tasks you’ve been putting o$ like cancelling useless outstanding orders or ensuring you receive the most advantageous interest from your savings will be tackled with ease in the next few weeks. " ere could be a power struggle going on in the coming weeks and this could bring you up against an authority ! gure or someone who thinks rather a lot of themselves!
Female bosses and co-workers are going to be di# cult to deal with
throughout the month of June. " is will make it di# cult for any business dealings that you have on the go. If you have legal procedures happening at the moment those in a position of authority are going to be particularly problematic. No matter how political certain people want to be, nobody can take away your dignity! Trust your own judgements and instincts!
It’s imperative that you take steps to look after your health, as
a connection with medical people is on the cards. Do your best to avoid stressful situations and remember that whilst chocolate may taste awesome, it will eventually make you bulge in places you wish it didn’t! " ere is going to be a truck load of paperwork to deal with and mistakes are most certainly likely, so be certain to read each document carefully before signing!
Money is the root of all evil, or at least the lack of it is. Instead of
trying to keep up with the Jones’ focus on improving your own bank balance. " ose unwanted goods sitting in your garage could well be an answer to creating some extra cash % ow. If you already have goods for sale then don’t be afraid to compromise on the price especially for a cash deal. It will also be necessary to be tolerant with loved ones during the next few weeks!

Arthur Miller’s ‘Death of a Salesman’ is the story of a man past his prime who struggles with his failings and the dashed hopes that his sons would achieve more than he has.
" e American classic, which won a Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Play, is being brought to life in a new production by the Belvoir " eatre Company in June.
" e Belvoir production features a talented cast of actors, including Colin Friels as Willy Loman, Patrick Brammall and Hamish Michael as his frustrated sons, Bi# and Happy, and Genevieve Lemon as his loyal and kind wife, Linda.
Award-winning director, Simon Stone, and Belvoir’s Artistic Director, Ralph Myers, have opted for a contemporary sound and look with a fresh take on Miller’s famously detailed
set.Like it did in 1949,
‘Death of a Salesman’ speaks directly to a society living through the uncertainties and ambiguities of the post-
industrial, postmodern world.
‘Death of a Salesman’ runs at the Belvoir " eatre from June 23. Tickets start at $42. To book, visit belvoir.com.au or call 9699 3444.
Three Strike (///) Projects is the creation of Sydney
College of Arts students Luke Burcher and James Cooney. " eir aim is to organise artistic projects showcasing emerging visual artists and musicians from Sydney’s inner-west.
" e pair wanted to make sure that the art of their peers did not go unnoticed and in-turn came up with this unique concept.
" e exhibition, which is currently on display inside a disused warehouse in Sydney, is part of ‘" e Rocks Pop-Up’, an initiative of the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority to ! nd creative uses for temporarily vacant buildings.
With limited galleries to exhibit in Sydney, the idea behind /// is to curate exhibitions in makeshift spaces around the city, as well as providing artists with an opportunity to explore di# erent ways in which their work can be displayed.
Luke and James will be exhibiting their works along with other western Sydney artists including Nathan Howard, Ben Lang and Hannah Fenton.
/// Projects is currently
displaying their debut exhibition at a disused warehouse upstairs at 47 George Street, Sydney – just metres away from the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Welcome TV lovers to the ! rst ever ‘Chatter on the Box’ column!
Each week I’ll be watching as much TV as humanly possible so I can then tell you what to watch and what not to watch.
I’ll also provide you with the latest local and international television news, gossip and ratings data. So grab some popcorn, sit back and relax and enjoy ‘Chatter on the Box’…
So let’s get o" to a positive start and I must say I’m really enjoying Channel 7’s new mythical drama ‘Once Upon A Time’. # e show, which see’s classic fairytale characters living in a modern world, is a little bit tricky to get your head around at ! rst but once you get the gist of how everything is playing out it is thoroughly enjoyable. Catch your favourite storybook characters Tuesdays at 7.30pm.
If you’re a fan of ‘# e Amazing Race’ then make sure you look out for the Australian version that hits our screens this Wednesday, May 30 on Channel 7. Eleven teams of racers will travel more than 65,000 kilometres across four continents in the long-awaited second season of the hit reality show, hosted by Grant Bowler. # is season includes some international ! rsts including never before seen destinations, Must Vote U-Turns and a controversial new Salvage Pass on the ! rst
leg of the Race. # ere’s some great news for ‘news
junkies’ with Channel 10 set to unleash ‘Ten Newsnight’ hosted by the likeable and professional Hamish Macdonald. At just 31, Hamish has won a swag of big journalism awards during his short career and Ten think he’s the perfect man to front their new late night news hour. # e 45-minute show will feature news, interviews, music
performances, social media trends, weather, ! nance and the return of ‘Sports Tonight’. Catch it 10.30pm weeknights from June 4.
I must say I’m a huge fan of Channel 9’s ‘# e Voice’ but ever since they hit the live shows last week I think it’s lost a lot of its individuality that it had in the earlier rounds. # e Blind Auditions and # e Battle Rounds were fantastic and o" ered an element to this TV genre that we’d never seen before, but now with these Live Shows,
it just looks like another version of ‘X Factor’ or ‘Idol’.
But it’s bad news for fans of the following telvision shows because they’ve just been axed in the US: ‘Alcatraz’, ‘CSI: Miami’, ‘Breakout Kings’, ‘Flashpoint’, ‘Missing’, ‘Harry’s Law’, ‘Ringer’, ‘# e River’, ‘Dog # e Bounty Hunter’, ‘Unforgettable’ and ‘A Gifted Man’.

FRIDAY, MAY 25 2012 THE INNER CITY WEEKENDER
For years, popular movies have been turned into musicals,
with classic stories adapted to the stage with varying degrees of success.
Turning the classic ! lm ‘An O" cer and a Gentleman’ into a musical was always going to be a risky move. It doesn’t quite have “musical” written all over it, after all.
# e world premiere Sydney production is a passable e$ ort, though certainly doesn’t leave you with a whole heap of hope that it’d make it on the bigger stages of Broadway or London.
# ere’s just something that doesn’t quite work here, and it’s hard to put your ! nger on, though the lack of chemistry between factory girl Paula (Amanda Harrison) and jet pilot in training Zack (Ben Mingay) is unfortunately obvious.
You won’t be humming any of the songs as you walk out of the theatre, except
perhaps for ‘If You Believe In Love # e Way I Do’ and the popular ‘Up Where We Belong’.
Harrison is a well-known and talented performer, best known for ‘Wicked’ and is amongst the
highlights here, along with Bert Labonte who makes for a fantastic Sargeant Foley.
All in all, ‘An O" cer and a Gentleman’ isn’t a terrible show, but it’s not a great one either.
- Troy Dodds
Actress and singer-songwriter, Joanna Weinberg, returns
to the Camelot Lounge on Sunday, May 27 with her acclaimed show, # e Piano Diaries.
# e story of her life written in music, as opposed to a journal, # e Piano Diaries is Weinberg’s intensely personal account of music, art, love, disappointment, escape,
migration, joy, despair and an indomitable belief in the power of music.
# e show played to sold-out crowds at three Sydney venues last year, while the album is garnering praise around the world.
Featuring Weinberg on keyboard and vocals along with Kate Adams on cello and Blair Greenberg on percussion, audiences can expect funny, ! erce,
sexy and sassy musical entertainment that will set toes tapping.
Weinberg’s previous shows include Sinksongs, # e Unbearable Lightness of Fleeing and Twelve Shoes as well as the hit musical, Every Single Saturday.
# e Piano Diaries featuring Joanna Weinberg is on Sunday, May 27 at the Camelot Lounge, Marrickville.

Wests Tigers have signed two new star forwards and
a talented utility while re-signing one of the club’s most exciting young backs.
! e club has secured 24-year-old South Sydney back-rower, Eddy Pettybourne, for the next three years and 23-year-old Gold Coast Titans forward, Bodene ! ompson, for the next two years.
Former Penrith utility,
Masada Iosefa, will join Wests immediately for the remainder of this season and beyond, while current NYC winger, David Nofoaluma, has re-signed with the club for a further two years.
“We obviously needed to bolster the back row position with the return to England of international Gareth Ellis at the end of the season,’’ said Wests Tigers CEO, Stephen Humphreys.
“With the experience of over 120 NRL matches between them, Eddy and Bodene will perfectly compliment the good group of young forwards we have coming through our ranks.
“... Masada can cover a range of positions and will provide valuable depth to our roster.”
Humphreys said he was pleased to extend David Nofoaluma’s contract.

TIGER RUMBLINGSTroy Dodds
Best performance of the season
Plenty were criticising the decision by Ricky Stuart and the New South Wales selectors in relation to bringing
Robbie Farah into the squad. Farah proved all the critics wrong, and had a great game on Wednesday night for the Blues. Farah should have played the full 80 minutes – replacing him mid-way through the second half was the wrong move and Farah has proved that he’s an Origin player who has plenty to o" er. He’ll be retained for Origin II along with the rest of the squad, and I’m con# dent New South Wales will # ght back.
! e Tigers’ victory over the Warriors last weekend was without doubt their best performance of the season. ! e Tigers were down and out twice throughout the contest but fought back to win. Whilst the Tigers have been involved in a whole heap of golden point games this season, and come up with some remarkable wins, the victory over the Warriors was tough, well-fought and impressive.
! e Tigers should beat the Cowboys at Campbelltown on Sunday. ! e Cowboys have a terrible record in Sydney and aren’t used to playing daytime football, so it’s a game they should win. In fact, it’s a big test for the Tigers. If they don’t put 20 points between them and
the opposition, something’s very wrong.
Ray Cashmere is the latest player to join the Tigers’ injury ward. Cashmere has su" ered a calf injury and will miss Sunday’s clash with the Cowboys, and a couple of matches afterwards.
! e Tigers have announced that a couple of England’s legends will join them at a special gala dinner on June 28. Ellery Hanley and Garry Scho# eld will attend the dinner. Both had stints for Balmain and Wests during their careers. ! e event will be held on ! ursday, June 28 at Curzon Hall. Check out the o$ cial Tigers website for details on bookings.
Ray Cashmere, James Tedesco and Matt Groat will be at Gearzone Macarthur on Saturday from 11am. It will be an excellent opportunity to catch up with some great Tigers players and get some autographs and photos.
It was great to see so many Wests Tigers supporters out in force last week for the annual Members Day. ! e numbers got up to around the 1,500 mark, with plenty of fans on hand to get up close and personal with their favourites players.
