Australia’s Jessica Fox has created history by winning a third consecutive women’s C1 title at the Canoe Slalom World Championships in London.

The 21-year-old said she was motivated by failing to defend her K1 world title 24 hours earlier.

Her win this morning makes her the fi rst woman in both K1 and C1 to win three consecutive titles, and she joins only two other paddlers – one of the others being her father, Richard, to win a hat-trick of World Championships.

Fox dominated the fi nal, one of only two athletes to complete the course without a penalty, and fi nishing a massive 4.91 seconds ahead of the Czech Republic’s Katerina Hoskova in a time of 113.51 seconds.

Australia’s Alison Borrows fi nished eighth.“I’m relieved,” Fox said.“There’s joy and elation to put together such a good run. I‘m

really happy with the way I lived that race, and how I lived with the whole experience, because it was a tough fi nal.”

Fox said she was thrilled to have entered the record books as the fi rst woman to win three consecutive titles in either the C1 or K1.

What a way to introduce the October edition! A triumphant and truly tremendous win by our very own history making, Jessica Fox. I know I am not alone when I say, "Jessica, we are so very proud of you! Well done."

Here we are at the tail end of the year, with less than 90 days until Christmas (yes! I said it).... we start to see plenty of local and wonderful festivities being held.

It's a great time of year as the sun shines, and activities draw us outdoors. Page 7 highlights the upcoming 'Events by the River'; while Penrith CBD has an exciting array of activities to pop in your diary, see page 6 for more details.

On page 5, Tracey Deep talks all things flora, nature and creativity as she prepares for her upcoming master classes; and we introduce our newest column 'Say It Out Loud' on page 16.

Everything is either an opportunity to grow, or an obstacle to keep you from growing. The best part is, you get to choose! (Dr. Wayne Dyer)

Moana Wood, Individual Giving and Community Fundraising Manager, National Breast Cancer Foundation, encourages the community to support the cause.

“Every dollar raised helps take NBCF one step closer towards our goal of zero deaths from breast cancer by 2030. We’ve made significant progress since 1994 but, the work is far from over. We’re now striving to accelerate the delivery of research results to and reduce the suffering caused by breast cancer. We will only be able to achieve this with the help of fundraisers like Tanti Financial Services and R A Carroll Accountants,” said Ms Wood.

Tanti Financial Services and R A Carroll Accountants would love you to show your support too,

“We’d love the whole community to join us on the day and raise as much funds as possible.” Tony Tanti said.

FAITH - EMU PLAINS ANGLICAN

Hey Neighbour!It was great to hear the decision that Australia would resettle

12,000 Syrian refugees. It was great because Syria as a nation is so needy. It was great because individuals from that part of the world are going through such trauma. But do you know what else? It was great because we can off er something that will make a diff erence to these people’s lives.

We often refer to people as a ‘Good Samaritan’ when they do something unexpected to help someone else. Did you know it was Jesus who created the story of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37)? Someone was asking him who he should be generous to. He was asking, ‘Who is my neighbour?’ just after Jesus said, ‘Love your neighbour.’ So Jesus told the story of two people you’d expect to stop and help an injured man, who didn’t. But of the third, a Samaritan, who did. The twist in the story was that the people Jesus was speaking to hated the Samaritans. And the Samaritans probably hated them back! But this is why what the Good Samaritan did was so remarkable. He off ered something that was needed and would make a diff erence to another person’s life, and didn’t expect anything back in return.

Now we don’t hate Syrians, and they don’t hate us. But even through the terribleness of this crisis we can do something that will make a real diff erence. They are our neighbours on the world stage. It’s not even as great an act of love for us to welcome them here as the Good Samaritan’s kindness, but it certainly is loving.

Providing food, providing a safe place to stay, making them welcome, off ering security – what a great way to say, ‘Hey neighbour’. And in doing that, maybe we’ll get a small insight into the way, Jesus said, God off ers to treat us.


Tree Removal at Emu Plains Cemetery

Penrith Council will remove 16 White Cedar trees from Emu Plains Cemetery after they were inspected and deemed to pose a risk to visitors.

The cemetery which has historic signifi cance has reached its capacity and is no longer available for new burials.

Penrith Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said the trees are likely to become increasingly hazardous if left unattended.

“The health of the trees has suff ered to a point that they pose a signifi cant risk to visitors,” Cr Fowler said.

“While the cemetery is now closed to any new burials, its historic signifi cance sees many people visit the site and it is important for Council to maintain safe access.

“The trees will be replaced with a suitable alternative to maintain the appearance of the cemetery.”

The remaining trees will have deadwood pruned from them and their condition monitored to maintain the public’s safety. Work will commence in the coming weeks to remove the trees.

Tracey Deep – Master Class

Tracey Deep, artist.

The intricate wonders that are Tracey Deep’s fl oral sculptures currently fi ll the main gallery in the Desert Song exhibition. On Sunday 11 October we have a very special master class opportunity where participants work with the artist to create their very own botanical masterpiece. Tracey Deep will begin the two hour workshop with a talk and demonstration and then the making begins. Like an artwork what is guaranteed from the session is that no two creations will look the same.

Tracey Deep will prepare an exciting range of bush and fl oral materials, so that textures and shapes can be explored. Discover the unusual and unexpected organic fl ora to create your very own long lasting handmade creation. A master class is a rare and privileged opportunity to work with an artist and to actively discover your own inner creativity.

Tracey Deep began her career working with Sydney artists Susan Avery and Alison Coates in the early 1990s. With a free creative reign, it was here that she started exploring ideas through texture and shapes, looking at things with an artist’s eye. Architecture and landscapes are big infl uences, the old texture of cities and the scale of mountains. You can see this in the breadth of Tracey’s work, from living sculptures (fl oral) to large-scale exhibition pieces (industrial) that involve steel and wire, lightness and shadow. The strength of Tracey’s work is in its simplicity and its repetition of strong shapes, colours and textures.

As Tracey states, 'The natural world is a huge part of my heart & soul. It is a constant source of inspiration; it replenishes my creative juices and feeds my hunger and desire to create. The beauty of the desert is revealed in the harshness of the bush, in the intensity of its colour palette, of sky and ochres and the burnt remains of eucalyptus trees. All have left a permanent mark on me.'

Places will sell out, to secure a spot please call the Gallery on 4735 1100.

It seems that everyone has an opinion on Attention Defi cit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). How much of what we know is based on what we have heard from the media or hearsay rather than from the research?

» 1 in 10 children have ADHD. » ADHD is NOT bad kids or bad parents. » ADHD is real. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder.

Just like children with autism (1 in 100 children) or Down Syndrome (1 in 800 children), children with ADHD are born with unique challenges.

Children with ADHD have trouble with: attention and focus; staying still; and making good choices.

The ABSOLUTE BEST treatment for ADHD is medication. Forget everything you have heard in the media about how bad the medication is for kids. Just as children with diabetes or epilepsy require medication to be well, children with ADHD require medication to get the necessary chemicals into the frontal lobes of their brain so they can function better.

Nothing else, not a good diet or alternative therapies or fi sh oil tablets, can get those chemicals into the frontal lobes. Medication is the only thing. Taking medication helps children with ADHD to focus and pay attention. This means that they have a better chance of learning, making friends, and enjoying the opportunities that other children have.

The medication for ADHD has actually been around for 80 years and advances in medical research mean that there are more choices now. Research over the past 40 years has shown that children with ADHD who do not take medication are at a higher risk when they are adults of: drug and alcohol abuse; mental health problems; dropping out of school; unemployment; incarceration; car accidents; and relationship breakdown with family and peers.

The NEXT BEST treatment for ADHD is positive parenting – things like Triple P. However, positive parenting does not work unless the child is taking medication. Without the medication, the child won’t have the attention span or working memory to listen or understand.

Parents who have a child with ADHD have to battle the stigma of ADHD every day. As 1 in 10 children have ADHD, this stigma leaves a lot of people (children and their families) not feeling very good about themselves, and feeling isolated and alone. The stigma prevents parents from making the best possible choices about their child’s treatment.

Parenting is a tough job. Parenting a child with ADHD is a tougher job. If you know a parent who has a child with ADHD, sometimes the best advice is an ear to listen and a heart to understand. If you know a child with ADHD, they having a problem, they are not the problem

NCNS and parents from the ADHD Support Group will be at Westfi eld Penrith (Big W end) on the 13th, 14th, and 15th of October raising awareness about ADHD. On the 16th October, we will be holding an ADHD seminar for parents wanting to know more about ADHD.


McCarthy Catholic College Year 12 Art students have again excelled in inspiration and technical expertise as their art work stunned visitors to a recent public exhibition. Year 12 Art teacher Monica Sharp expressed her pleasure with the creativity of the displayed art and commended her students for their stunning imagination and dedication to developing artistic skills. ‘From imaginative concept to completion of expression’ Mrs Sharp explained.

Kaitlyn Meares drew inspiration from ‘How our natural reefs and oceans are being impacted by over fi shing and pollution’. In ‘Reef Refuse’, Kaitlyn’s dark silhouetted forms represented environmental threats but her still life photography and ceramics represented the ‘whimsical beauty of nature’. For Chloe Skinner inspiration came from refl ections about social isolation experienced by many, ‘when it is increasingly expected that we

are all electronically connected’. Her ‘Disconnected’ comprised dry point prints, photography and ceramic sculpture, which demonstrated a chilling sense of being alone.

Ijada Peady drew inspiration from video games and ‘the frenzy of the alchemist at work’, while Brad Moore found it in ‘losing myself in the imagination of the artwork’, where he’ develops his own identity’. Audrey Sproule was inspired by ‘Michaelangelo’s brilliance’ and her art work showed the ‘intricacies of the human form, its working parts and movement’. However, Lili McGrath’s Birthday cards of ‘Absence’ was all about ‘expressing feelings through artwork’.

The McCarthy Catholic College Year 12 students learnt as much about themselves, as they did about the technical skills of art expression. However, visitors to the exhibition were as taken with the artists’ inspiration, as they were by the fabulous artwork.

“It’s not something I try and think about, but it’s really special to defend a world title, and to win three in a row is awesome,” Fox said.

“I’m a bit disappointed to be fourth in the K1, but I think it did motivate me for today.”

Fox said the C1 competition has become a lot tougher since she fi rst started her winning run three years ago.

The discipline is not on the program for Rio next year, but is expected to be contested in Tokyo in 2020.

“A lot of the girls are now specialising in C1, while I’m focusing on K1,” Fox said.

“It’s defi nitely a lot more competitive.”In further good news for Australia, Victoria’s Jaxon Merritt

missed the men’s K1 fi nal but his result was good enough to secure Australia a start in the 2016 Olympics.

“After having a good qualifi cation run here, it does build my confi dence a bit,”

Merritt said.“But I’ve got to get faster. Those boys are going pretty quick.”Western Australia’s Robin Jeff ery missed the fi nal of the men’s C1,

and also just fi nished outside an Olympic qualifi cation position.“I made a mistake on number 11, and then went into my shell a

bit,” Jeff ery said.“I’m really disappointed with my response, so I’m absolutely

gutted. But I’m really looking forward to trying to qualify a spot at the Continentals.

“To make a top ten in such a great fi eld is great for my confi dence. Even before this race I knew that on my day I can make top fi ve.”

The teams fi nals followed the individual events with Fox winning a second gold medal in the women's C1 event alongside Borrows and Lawrence.

HEALTH MATTERS

Core Strength Work for Chronic Lower Back Pain Due to Slipped Disc?

If you’ve read some of my previous articles then you may have gleaned that tight infl amed muscle & connective tissues in and around the spine are the cause of most chronic back pain either directly or indirectly. And if you’ve suff ered from chronic back pain then you may have come across someone spouting the conventional wisdom of ‘poor core strength as the problem that may have led to your sore back and that core strengthening may be the solution to back pain’.

I regularly see clients who have come in with long standing ‘chronic’ back pain, many of whom have been doing prescribed core strengthening exercise religiously. In some cases these exercises helped for a while, in others not, either way their back pain has remained. This is because the core strength theory is fundamentally fl awed. Here’s why.

Although an infl amed back can be due to many causes let’s look at an acute injury such as a ruptured disc. When a person has such an injury of the spine, the back muscles and connective tissue swell, become infl amed and lock up around the injury. It’s a standard protective mechanism that’s described in many standard medical texts. Once the muscles infl ame & tighten, in most cases they will remain that way (unless work is done specifi cally to de-infl ame & lengthen the muscles) and if disc protrusion exists, it will likely remain protruded.

Doing strength work of any type builds muscle but also causes muscles shortening and reduced range of motion unless regular stretching of the same muscles occurs. Doing core strengthening exercise will tighten core muscles so for a back injury involving a slipped disc (back tight maintaining disc in the protruded position) this is exactly the last thing one should do. Key to remediating this type of back injury is to do exactly the opposite. Completely stop core exercises, use manual therapy to de-infl ame & lengthen all aff ected tissue carefully. Only once injured tissue has healed should core strengthening be attempted carefully & with concurrent stretching exercises to maintain muscle length to guard against re-injury. If you have a problem with a back injury why not come talk to us at BHW – see our ad for contact details.

Grief Journaling and Happiness: The Power of the Pen

I’ve kept a journal since I was 14 years old, I have volumes of journals in my cupboards. I wrote through the death of my pets, my grandparents, my Dad, my children and friends.

When I sit down I aim to write for 5 minutes but often end up writing for hours. I’ve always felt great after I fi nished writing and thought it was benefi cial to my wellbeing. I always recommend to everyone to start journaling.

The results are in… it’s good for you.Researchers did a study, where 100 engineers were sacked

and 4 months later none of them had been reemployed. The researchers divided them into two groups. One group did nothing. The other group was asked to keep a journal, write for 20 minutes a day about all the painful emotions surrounding losing their job and the diffi culties about applying for a new job. Three months later only 5% of the fi rst group were reemployed and 26% of the other group had found jobs.

Journal writing didn’t increase the quantity of interviews, it increased the quality of their job search. They drank less, felt less anger towards their old employer and 8 months later 52% were reemployed.

It seemed that writing all the tough feelings helped lift the burden, whereas suppressing negative feelings is stressful. Researchers also found that people who write journals visit the doctor less.

So, I’m thinking that it’s a good idea for you to start journaling now. Go out and buy yourself a beautiful book, a lovely pen and set the timer for 5 minutes and just start describing the sensations of your body to begin with and that could lead to writing about your emotions.

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Is Now the Time to Invest?Everyone is talking about property at the moment. We’ve seen some fantastic gains

in the market over the last few years and many people believe that there is still strong growth to come.

Others believe that we’re nearing the end of the growth cycle and the market will be flat for the next few years.

Still others believe that a property bubble is forming and it’s about to burst.Of course nobody has a crystal ball but the consensus amongst economists is that

there is no property bubble. Given that there is still a considerable under supply of properties (in Sydney) and a low interest rate environment for the foreseeable future, property values should continue to grow.

Of course an investment in property should be considered a long term investment which means that short term fluctuations in value are largely irrelevant. Instead of chasing short term capital gains which is largely out of your control, astute investors find opportunities in all market conditions by following a few simple rules.

1. Research. Know the market, determine demand for different property types, understand demographics, population movements and planned infrastructure upgrades.

2. Build an Investment Strategy. Start with the end in mind. What is it you want to achieve in the long term and build a strategy that will deliver.

3. Keep emotions under control. Investments should be made based on factual information. Falling in love with the wrong property could cost you and fear can make you pass on the opportunity of a lifetime. When emotion goes up, intellect goes down.

4. Manage your risks. All investments carry some risk they can be managed. A simple exercise is to write a list of everything you can think of that can go wrong. Then work through the list to mitigate each risk. You’ll be amazed at how much you can reduce your risk and the process can be quite cathartic.

We love working with our investor clients and can help with each of these steps. If you’re thinking of investing in property, why not give us a call?

Guess Who is Going to Be a Guide Dog Puppy Raiser???

Camille will be raising a Guide Dog puppy!! Yay!! Pony is so excited!

I can’t wait for you to meet him. He will be at the veterinary hospital every day for you to watch him grow. The more sights and sounds he experiences as a pup, the better he will be as an adult.Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks.

They work with purebred Labradors, Golden Retrievers and Labrador/Golden Retriever crosses. These breeds are calm, loyal and intelligent, and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs.

The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff . They are called "puppy raisers". Over the next 12 months, these families will provide the pups with basic social skills, obedience and lots of fun! The pups will visit places they'll later encounter as Guide Dogs, and experience all the sights, sounds and most importantly for any dog, smells of the outside world.

The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers, who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area. In addition, the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre, to help them become familiar with their next home.Guide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old, they return to the Guide Dogs Centre.

Over two weeks, the instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks. Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work, with good concentration and initiative. They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals.

With such stringent standards, not all puppies are suitable for guiding work. Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job. They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks. These skills include:

• Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng.• Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer.• Stopping at all kerbs.• Waiting for a command before crossing roads.• Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs.• Avoiding obstacles at head height.• Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk

through side by side.• Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport.• Taking the trainer to a lift.• Laying quietly for some time, particularly at a workplace or

in restaurants.• Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger

- for example, if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole, the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded.

Despite the hard work involved, Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed. These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges.

It takes nearly two years to develop a pup into a responsible Guide Dog.

little community with lots to do. Our favourite thing to do is the River Walk on the weekend.

It's our chance to exercise together and chat about our week.
