William Cox Historical Festival at the Arms of Australia Inn MuseumOn July 20th the William Cox Festival will
celebrate one of the most important achievements in our early colonial history ndash the building of a road across the Blue Mountains - and July 2014 marks the bicentenary of the building of that road
The road was built by William Cox Construction started in July 1814 at Emu Plains and fi nished at Bathurst in March 1815 With a working party of 32 convicts four free persons and a handful of guards Cox completed the 101 mile (163km) road over the mountains in seven months The road opened up inland New South Wales to European settlement Coxrsquos bullock cart was the fi rst wheeled vehicle to pass over the Blue Mountains and down over Mt York
To mark the bicentenary the Nepean District Historical Society with the support of Penrith City Council will re-enact the start of Coxrsquos journey from Regatta Park Emu Pains at 1030 am to the Arms of Australia Inn Museum for the William Cox Festival and formalities continued pg 11

Hello July We have offi cially crept past the
middle of the year And itrsquos TAX time Coupled with this is the end of Term 2 for our school friends and the start of a new fi nancial year for our friends in business
Another month passes and I wish I could hit the lsquopausersquo button for just a moment Last month I learned of a dear friend who is facing a health-scare and a long battle ahead
Many of us have friends family co-workers and acquaintances facing similar battles When we face situations like this it brings with it mixed emotions and a shadow of sadness memories of the past and thoughts of the future A desire to stop and appreciate all those good times and cherish every single moment that life has to off er
This month we have many stories of hope delight inspiration success and courage for you to revel in So many wonderful people moments and events occurring in and around our local community
I know I have said it before but it rings so very true There are magical moments in ever day we just have to take the time to see them
Enjoy your community news

Recently good friends experienced the birth of their fi rst baby It was a time of celebration and joy
Why is the birth of a child so signifi cant And why do we continue to celebrate peoplersquos birthdays as they grow older
Itrsquos because birth is a time of wonder - a new little person who didnrsquot exist nine months ago has been born into the world We can know them and they can know us We can watch them grow up into adulthood We can share experiences and joys and even sadness
But the Bible tells us one more thing a crucial thing that makes even more sense of why we celebrate Here is another person made in the image of our great God Here is another person made to share eternal life To know God and be known by God Thatrsquos priceless Have you ever thought of yourself in that way Itrsquos got to be good for your self esteem
And when Jesus came into the world he came because he valued us so much That while wersquod abandoned God he wasnrsquot willing to abandon us So Jesus said lsquoBe born againrsquo Itrsquos an invitation to a fresh start An invitation to be re-made in His image and to have life forever with God
So as we celebrate the birth of each new child wersquore pointed to the new birth that God off ers each of us Rev Roger Cunningham
Happy Birthday

If you have been reading this column for a while you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy That is not saying ldquogood boygirlrdquo or ldquogood jobworkrdquo when your child has done something well but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why
And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how eff ective it can be
BUThellipIf you are also using the words ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo when
describing your childrsquos mistaken behaviour you may fi nd that the descriptive praise doesnrsquot work so well
WhyBecause words are powerful If you use ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo your
child will internalise those words and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable even though the parents have been using descriptive praise In each of these cases the parents have been using ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo a lot
I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating herehellip
REMOVE ldquoNAUGHTYrdquo AND ldquoBADrdquo FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILDrdquoS BEHAVIOUR
And get rid of that damned ldquonaughtyrdquo chair or corner Call it a ldquochill outrdquo or ldquocalm downrdquo or ldquoquiet timerdquo place
When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood
Think about it ndash if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it In fact if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse)
So when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding educating caring for nurturing growing up loving Never
The next question from parents is ldquowhat do I say insteadrdquo Tell a child lsquowhat to dorsquo rather than lsquowhat not to dorsquo Always keep it positive For example ldquostand still while I fi x your collarrdquo and then follow-up with descriptive praise ldquothank you for staying still it was so helpful and it gets it done quicklyrdquo Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour instead of focussing on who she is (for example clumsy careless) focus on what she did (for example broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example kick the ball towards the fence)
To fi nd out more about positive parenting I highly recommend that you do Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) Itrsquos fabulous

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

Hello July We have offi cially crept past the
middle of the year And itrsquos TAX time Coupled with this is the end of Term 2 for our school friends and the start of a new fi nancial year for our friends in business
Another month passes and I wish I could hit the lsquopausersquo button for just a moment Last month I learned of a dear friend who is facing a health-scare and a long battle ahead
Many of us have friends family co-workers and acquaintances facing similar battles When we face situations like this it brings with it mixed emotions and a shadow of sadness memories of the past and thoughts of the future A desire to stop and appreciate all those good times and cherish every single moment that life has to off er
This month we have many stories of hope delight inspiration success and courage for you to revel in So many wonderful people moments and events occurring in and around our local community
I know I have said it before but it rings so very true There are magical moments in ever day we just have to take the time to see them
Enjoy your community news

Recently good friends experienced the birth of their fi rst baby It was a time of celebration and joy
Why is the birth of a child so signifi cant And why do we continue to celebrate peoplersquos birthdays as they grow older
Itrsquos because birth is a time of wonder - a new little person who didnrsquot exist nine months ago has been born into the world We can know them and they can know us We can watch them grow up into adulthood We can share experiences and joys and even sadness
But the Bible tells us one more thing a crucial thing that makes even more sense of why we celebrate Here is another person made in the image of our great God Here is another person made to share eternal life To know God and be known by God Thatrsquos priceless Have you ever thought of yourself in that way Itrsquos got to be good for your self esteem
And when Jesus came into the world he came because he valued us so much That while wersquod abandoned God he wasnrsquot willing to abandon us So Jesus said lsquoBe born againrsquo Itrsquos an invitation to a fresh start An invitation to be re-made in His image and to have life forever with God
So as we celebrate the birth of each new child wersquore pointed to the new birth that God off ers each of us Rev Roger Cunningham
Happy Birthday

If you have been reading this column for a while you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy That is not saying ldquogood boygirlrdquo or ldquogood jobworkrdquo when your child has done something well but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why
And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how eff ective it can be
BUThellipIf you are also using the words ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo when
describing your childrsquos mistaken behaviour you may fi nd that the descriptive praise doesnrsquot work so well
WhyBecause words are powerful If you use ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo your
child will internalise those words and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable even though the parents have been using descriptive praise In each of these cases the parents have been using ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo a lot
I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating herehellip
REMOVE ldquoNAUGHTYrdquo AND ldquoBADrdquo FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILDrdquoS BEHAVIOUR
And get rid of that damned ldquonaughtyrdquo chair or corner Call it a ldquochill outrdquo or ldquocalm downrdquo or ldquoquiet timerdquo place
When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood
Think about it ndash if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it In fact if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse)
So when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding educating caring for nurturing growing up loving Never
The next question from parents is ldquowhat do I say insteadrdquo Tell a child lsquowhat to dorsquo rather than lsquowhat not to dorsquo Always keep it positive For example ldquostand still while I fi x your collarrdquo and then follow-up with descriptive praise ldquothank you for staying still it was so helpful and it gets it done quicklyrdquo Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour instead of focussing on who she is (for example clumsy careless) focus on what she did (for example broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example kick the ball towards the fence)
To fi nd out more about positive parenting I highly recommend that you do Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) Itrsquos fabulous

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

Recently good friends experienced the birth of their fi rst baby It was a time of celebration and joy
Why is the birth of a child so signifi cant And why do we continue to celebrate peoplersquos birthdays as they grow older
Itrsquos because birth is a time of wonder - a new little person who didnrsquot exist nine months ago has been born into the world We can know them and they can know us We can watch them grow up into adulthood We can share experiences and joys and even sadness
But the Bible tells us one more thing a crucial thing that makes even more sense of why we celebrate Here is another person made in the image of our great God Here is another person made to share eternal life To know God and be known by God Thatrsquos priceless Have you ever thought of yourself in that way Itrsquos got to be good for your self esteem
And when Jesus came into the world he came because he valued us so much That while wersquod abandoned God he wasnrsquot willing to abandon us So Jesus said lsquoBe born againrsquo Itrsquos an invitation to a fresh start An invitation to be re-made in His image and to have life forever with God
So as we celebrate the birth of each new child wersquore pointed to the new birth that God off ers each of us Rev Roger Cunningham

If you have been reading this column for a while you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy That is not saying ldquogood boygirlrdquo or ldquogood jobworkrdquo when your child has done something well but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why
And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how eff ective it can be
BUThellipIf you are also using the words ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo when
describing your childrsquos mistaken behaviour you may fi nd that the descriptive praise doesnrsquot work so well
WhyBecause words are powerful If you use ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo your
child will internalise those words and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable even though the parents have been using descriptive praise In each of these cases the parents have been using ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo a lot
I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating herehellip
REMOVE ldquoNAUGHTYrdquo AND ldquoBADrdquo FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILDrdquoS BEHAVIOUR
And get rid of that damned ldquonaughtyrdquo chair or corner Call it a ldquochill outrdquo or ldquocalm downrdquo or ldquoquiet timerdquo place
When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood
Think about it ndash if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it In fact if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse)
So when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding educating caring for nurturing growing up loving Never
The next question from parents is ldquowhat do I say insteadrdquo Tell a child lsquowhat to dorsquo rather than lsquowhat not to dorsquo Always keep it positive For example ldquostand still while I fi x your collarrdquo and then follow-up with descriptive praise ldquothank you for staying still it was so helpful and it gets it done quicklyrdquo Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour instead of focussing on who she is (for example clumsy careless) focus on what she did (for example broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example kick the ball towards the fence)
To fi nd out more about positive parenting I highly recommend that you do Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) Itrsquos fabulous

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

Bush 2 BledisloePenrith will play host to the last leg of the Qantas Wallabies
ldquoBush2Bledisloerdquo initiative when the team visits the city on Friday 8 August ahead of their test match against New Zealand
The new lsquoBush2Bledisloersquo team initiative was created by Qantas Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie and will bring passionate supporters closer to the national team than ever before with a range of community activities planned during each stage of the tour
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said he was looking forward to welcoming the Wallabies to Penrith as they attempt to win back the coveted Bledisloe Cup
ldquoPenrith has a rich sporting culture and Irsquom sure the community will get right behind the Wallabies as they prepare to play the All Blacksrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoThe Bush2Bledisloe is the fi rst of its kind and one that our city is pleased to off er its support to one of our national teamsrdquo
Fans will get a unique opportunity to meet their Qantas Wallabies heroes during daily open training and fan activity sessions and will also get the chance to see and hold-up the prestigious Bledisloe Cup
The tour kicks off in Dubbo before travelling to Orange and Bathurst with Penrith being the last destination prior to playing New Zealand in Sydney on 16 August The concept aims to engage the Wallabiesrsquo players with the community while at the same time bringing the community closer to the team
A full schedule of Bush2Bledisloe open training sessions and community engagement activities will be released in the lead-up to the opening Bledisloe Cup

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome

Recently good friends experienced the birth of their fi rst baby It was a time of celebration and joy
Why is the birth of a child so signifi cant And why do we continue to celebrate peoplersquos birthdays as they grow older
Itrsquos because birth is a time of wonder - a new little person who didnrsquot exist nine months ago has been born into the world We can know them and they can know us We can watch them grow up into adulthood We can share experiences and joys and even sadness
But the Bible tells us one more thing a crucial thing that makes even more sense of why we celebrate Here is another person made in the image of our great God Here is another person made to share eternal life To know God and be known by God Thatrsquos priceless Have you ever thought of yourself in that way Itrsquos got to be good for your self esteem
And when Jesus came into the world he came because he valued us so much That while wersquod abandoned God he wasnrsquot willing to abandon us So Jesus said lsquoBe born againrsquo Itrsquos an invitation to a fresh start An invitation to be re-made in His image and to have life forever with God
So as we celebrate the birth of each new child wersquore pointed to the new birth that God off ers each of us Rev Roger Cunningham

If you have been reading this column for a while you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy That is not saying ldquogood boygirlrdquo or ldquogood jobworkrdquo when your child has done something well but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why
And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how eff ective it can be
BUThellipIf you are also using the words ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo when
describing your childrsquos mistaken behaviour you may fi nd that the descriptive praise doesnrsquot work so well
WhyBecause words are powerful If you use ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo your
child will internalise those words and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable even though the parents have been using descriptive praise In each of these cases the parents have been using ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo a lot
I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating herehellip
REMOVE ldquoNAUGHTYrdquo AND ldquoBADrdquo FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILDrdquoS BEHAVIOUR
And get rid of that damned ldquonaughtyrdquo chair or corner Call it a ldquochill outrdquo or ldquocalm downrdquo or ldquoquiet timerdquo place
When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood
Think about it ndash if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it In fact if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse)
So when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding educating caring for nurturing growing up loving Never
The next question from parents is ldquowhat do I say insteadrdquo Tell a child lsquowhat to dorsquo rather than lsquowhat not to dorsquo Always keep it positive For example ldquostand still while I fi x your collarrdquo and then follow-up with descriptive praise ldquothank you for staying still it was so helpful and it gets it done quicklyrdquo Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour instead of focussing on who she is (for example clumsy careless) focus on what she did (for example broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example kick the ball towards the fence)
To fi nd out more about positive parenting I highly recommend that you do Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) Itrsquos fabulous

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

Bush 2 BledisloePenrith will play host to the last leg of the Qantas Wallabies
ldquoBush2Bledisloerdquo initiative when the team visits the city on Friday 8 August ahead of their test match against New Zealand
The new lsquoBush2Bledisloersquo team initiative was created by Qantas Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie and will bring passionate supporters closer to the national team than ever before with a range of community activities planned during each stage of the tour
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said he was looking forward to welcoming the Wallabies to Penrith as they attempt to win back the coveted Bledisloe Cup
ldquoPenrith has a rich sporting culture and Irsquom sure the community will get right behind the Wallabies as they prepare to play the All Blacksrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoThe Bush2Bledisloe is the fi rst of its kind and one that our city is pleased to off er its support to one of our national teamsrdquo
Fans will get a unique opportunity to meet their Qantas Wallabies heroes during daily open training and fan activity sessions and will also get the chance to see and hold-up the prestigious Bledisloe Cup
The tour kicks off in Dubbo before travelling to Orange and Bathurst with Penrith being the last destination prior to playing New Zealand in Sydney on 16 August The concept aims to engage the Wallabiesrsquo players with the community while at the same time bringing the community closer to the team
A full schedule of Bush2Bledisloe open training sessions and community engagement activities will be released in the lead-up to the opening Bledisloe Cup

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

If you have been reading this column for a while you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy That is not saying ldquogood boygirlrdquo or ldquogood jobworkrdquo when your child has done something well but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why
And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how eff ective it can be
BUThellipIf you are also using the words ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo when
describing your childrsquos mistaken behaviour you may fi nd that the descriptive praise doesnrsquot work so well
WhyBecause words are powerful If you use ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo your
child will internalise those words and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable even though the parents have been using descriptive praise In each of these cases the parents have been using ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo a lot
I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating herehellip
REMOVE ldquoNAUGHTYrdquo AND ldquoBADrdquo FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILDrdquoS BEHAVIOUR
And get rid of that damned ldquonaughtyrdquo chair or corner Call it a ldquochill outrdquo or ldquocalm downrdquo or ldquoquiet timerdquo place
When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood
Think about it ndash if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it In fact if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse)
So when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding educating caring for nurturing growing up loving Never
The next question from parents is ldquowhat do I say insteadrdquo Tell a child lsquowhat to dorsquo rather than lsquowhat not to dorsquo Always keep it positive For example ldquostand still while I fi x your collarrdquo and then follow-up with descriptive praise ldquothank you for staying still it was so helpful and it gets it done quicklyrdquo Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour instead of focussing on who she is (for example clumsy careless) focus on what she did (for example broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example kick the ball towards the fence)
To fi nd out more about positive parenting I highly recommend that you do Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) Itrsquos fabulous

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

ldquoBush2Bledisloerdquo initiative when the team visits the city on Friday 8 August ahead of their test match against New Zealand
The new lsquoBush2Bledisloersquo team initiative was created by Qantas Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie and will bring passionate supporters closer to the national team than ever before with a range of community activities planned during each stage of the tour
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said he was looking forward to welcoming the Wallabies to Penrith as they attempt to win back the coveted Bledisloe Cup
ldquoPenrith has a rich sporting culture and Irsquom sure the community will get right behind the Wallabies as they prepare to play the All Blacksrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoThe Bush2Bledisloe is the fi rst of its kind and one that our city is pleased to off er its support to one of our national teamsrdquo
Fans will get a unique opportunity to meet their Qantas Wallabies heroes during daily open training and fan activity sessions and will also get the chance to see and hold-up the prestigious Bledisloe Cup
The tour kicks off in Dubbo before travelling to Orange and Bathurst with Penrith being the last destination prior to playing New Zealand in Sydney on 16 August The concept aims to engage the Wallabiesrsquo players with the community while at the same time bringing the community closer to the team
A full schedule of Bush2Bledisloe open training sessions and community engagement activities will be released in the lead-up to the opening Bledisloe Cup

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

If you have been reading this column for a while you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy That is not saying ldquogood boygirlrdquo or ldquogood jobworkrdquo when your child has done something well but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why
And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how eff ective it can be
BUThellipIf you are also using the words ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo when
describing your childrsquos mistaken behaviour you may fi nd that the descriptive praise doesnrsquot work so well
WhyBecause words are powerful If you use ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo your
child will internalise those words and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable even though the parents have been using descriptive praise In each of these cases the parents have been using ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo a lot
I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating herehellip
REMOVE ldquoNAUGHTYrdquo AND ldquoBADrdquo FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILDrdquoS BEHAVIOUR
And get rid of that damned ldquonaughtyrdquo chair or corner Call it a ldquochill outrdquo or ldquocalm downrdquo or ldquoquiet timerdquo place
When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood
Think about it ndash if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it In fact if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse)
So when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding educating caring for nurturing growing up loving Never
The next question from parents is ldquowhat do I say insteadrdquo Tell a child lsquowhat to dorsquo rather than lsquowhat not to dorsquo Always keep it positive For example ldquostand still while I fi x your collarrdquo and then follow-up with descriptive praise ldquothank you for staying still it was so helpful and it gets it done quicklyrdquo Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour instead of focussing on who she is (for example clumsy careless) focus on what she did (for example broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example kick the ball towards the fence)
To fi nd out more about positive parenting I highly recommend that you do Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) Itrsquos fabulous

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

Bush 2 BledisloePenrith will play host to the last leg of the Qantas Wallabies
ldquoBush2Bledisloerdquo initiative when the team visits the city on Friday 8 August ahead of their test match against New Zealand
The new lsquoBush2Bledisloersquo team initiative was created by Qantas Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie and will bring passionate supporters closer to the national team than ever before with a range of community activities planned during each stage of the tour
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said he was looking forward to welcoming the Wallabies to Penrith as they attempt to win back the coveted Bledisloe Cup
ldquoPenrith has a rich sporting culture and Irsquom sure the community will get right behind the Wallabies as they prepare to play the All Blacksrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoThe Bush2Bledisloe is the fi rst of its kind and one that our city is pleased to off er its support to one of our national teamsrdquo
Fans will get a unique opportunity to meet their Qantas Wallabies heroes during daily open training and fan activity sessions and will also get the chance to see and hold-up the prestigious Bledisloe Cup
The tour kicks off in Dubbo before travelling to Orange and Bathurst with Penrith being the last destination prior to playing New Zealand in Sydney on 16 August The concept aims to engage the Wallabiesrsquo players with the community while at the same time bringing the community closer to the team
A full schedule of Bush2Bledisloe open training sessions and community engagement activities will be released in the lead-up to the opening Bledisloe Cup

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

If you have been reading this column for a while you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy That is not saying ldquogood boygirlrdquo or ldquogood jobworkrdquo when your child has done something well but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why
And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how eff ective it can be
BUThellipIf you are also using the words ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo when
describing your childrsquos mistaken behaviour you may fi nd that the descriptive praise doesnrsquot work so well
WhyBecause words are powerful If you use ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo your
child will internalise those words and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable even though the parents have been using descriptive praise In each of these cases the parents have been using ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo a lot
I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating herehellip
REMOVE ldquoNAUGHTYrdquo AND ldquoBADrdquo FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILDrdquoS BEHAVIOUR
And get rid of that damned ldquonaughtyrdquo chair or corner Call it a ldquochill outrdquo or ldquocalm downrdquo or ldquoquiet timerdquo place
When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood
Think about it ndash if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it In fact if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse)
So when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding educating caring for nurturing growing up loving Never
The next question from parents is ldquowhat do I say insteadrdquo Tell a child lsquowhat to dorsquo rather than lsquowhat not to dorsquo Always keep it positive For example ldquostand still while I fi x your collarrdquo and then follow-up with descriptive praise ldquothank you for staying still it was so helpful and it gets it done quicklyrdquo Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour instead of focussing on who she is (for example clumsy careless) focus on what she did (for example broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example kick the ball towards the fence)
To fi nd out more about positive parenting I highly recommend that you do Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) Itrsquos fabulous

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

Bush 2 BledisloePenrith will play host to the last leg of the Qantas Wallabies
ldquoBush2Bledisloerdquo initiative when the team visits the city on Friday 8 August ahead of their test match against New Zealand
The new lsquoBush2Bledisloersquo team initiative was created by Qantas Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie and will bring passionate supporters closer to the national team than ever before with a range of community activities planned during each stage of the tour
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said he was looking forward to welcoming the Wallabies to Penrith as they attempt to win back the coveted Bledisloe Cup
ldquoPenrith has a rich sporting culture and Irsquom sure the community will get right behind the Wallabies as they prepare to play the All Blacksrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoThe Bush2Bledisloe is the fi rst of its kind and one that our city is pleased to off er its support to one of our national teamsrdquo
Fans will get a unique opportunity to meet their Qantas Wallabies heroes during daily open training and fan activity sessions and will also get the chance to see and hold-up the prestigious Bledisloe Cup
The tour kicks off in Dubbo before travelling to Orange and Bathurst with Penrith being the last destination prior to playing New Zealand in Sydney on 16 August The concept aims to engage the Wallabiesrsquo players with the community while at the same time bringing the community closer to the team
A full schedule of Bush2Bledisloe open training sessions and community engagement activities will be released in the lead-up to the opening Bledisloe Cup

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

If you have been reading this column for a while you will have gathered by now that I love Descriptive Praise as a parenting strategy That is not saying ldquogood boygirlrdquo or ldquogood jobworkrdquo when your child has done something well but to actually describe what you like about what he or she did and why
And if you have been using descriptive praise you know how eff ective it can be
BUThellipIf you are also using the words ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo when
describing your childrsquos mistaken behaviour you may fi nd that the descriptive praise doesnrsquot work so well
WhyBecause words are powerful If you use ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo your
child will internalise those words and he or she will prove just how naughty and bad he or she can be I have consulted with some parents over the past few months who have come to me asking why their kids are spiralling into increasingly negative behaviour to the point where they are uncontrollable even though the parents have been using descriptive praise In each of these cases the parents have been using ldquonaughtyrdquo and ldquobadrdquo a lot
I have said this so many times talking to parents over the past few months it bears repeating herehellip
REMOVE ldquoNAUGHTYrdquo AND ldquoBADrdquo FROM YOUR VOCABULARY WHEN DESCRIBING YOUR CHILDrdquoS BEHAVIOUR
And get rid of that damned ldquonaughtyrdquo chair or corner Call it a ldquochill outrdquo or ldquocalm downrdquo or ldquoquiet timerdquo place
When you use these very powerful and nasty words on your child and you use them often you are digging a pit of shame for him so deep that it may take a lifetime for him to crawl out of it Shame during childhood can lead to mental health problems during adolescence and adulthood
Think about it ndash if someone close to you calls you ugly or stupid often enough you start to believe it In fact if you are sharing your home with an adult who says these things to you it is domestic violence (emotional abuse)
So when is it ever OK to use these words with the little people whom we are supposed to be guiding educating caring for nurturing growing up loving Never
The next question from parents is ldquowhat do I say insteadrdquo Tell a child lsquowhat to dorsquo rather than lsquowhat not to dorsquo Always keep it positive For example ldquostand still while I fi x your collarrdquo and then follow-up with descriptive praise ldquothank you for staying still it was so helpful and it gets it done quicklyrdquo Paying attention to the positive encourages more positive behaviour from your child And if your child has had some kind of mistaken behaviour instead of focussing on who she is (for example clumsy careless) focus on what she did (for example broke the window) and with her assistance work out what she can do next time (for example kick the ball towards the fence)

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

Bush 2 BledisloePenrith will play host to the last leg of the Qantas Wallabies
ldquoBush2Bledisloerdquo initiative when the team visits the city on Friday 8 August ahead of their test match against New Zealand
The new lsquoBush2Bledisloersquo team initiative was created by Qantas Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie and will bring passionate supporters closer to the national team than ever before with a range of community activities planned during each stage of the tour
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said he was looking forward to welcoming the Wallabies to Penrith as they attempt to win back the coveted Bledisloe Cup
ldquoPenrith has a rich sporting culture and Irsquom sure the community will get right behind the Wallabies as they prepare to play the All Blacksrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoThe Bush2Bledisloe is the fi rst of its kind and one that our city is pleased to off er its support to one of our national teamsrdquo
Fans will get a unique opportunity to meet their Qantas Wallabies heroes during daily open training and fan activity sessions and will also get the chance to see and hold-up the prestigious Bledisloe Cup
The tour kicks off in Dubbo before travelling to Orange and Bathurst with Penrith being the last destination prior to playing New Zealand in Sydney on 16 August The concept aims to engage the Wallabiesrsquo players with the community while at the same time bringing the community closer to the team
A full schedule of Bush2Bledisloe open training sessions and community engagement activities will be released in the lead-up to the opening Bledisloe Cup

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

Ice Hero Helps Win Gold For AustraliaMcCarthy Catholic College Year
12 student Luke Zvonicek returned triumphant to Australia from Sofi a Bulgaria after helping steer Australian U18 ndash IIIA to GOLD in the World Ice Hockey Championships
Luke is a right wingforward and loves the lsquofast and physical challenge of the sportrsquo However Luke thinks two of the key skills needed are to know lsquohow to avoid being hitrsquo and lsquoknowing how to take a hitrsquo Anyone who has watched professional ice hockey will have witnessed the colossal collisions which occur in the sport While players may look chunky with body armour Luke advises that there is little in the protective gear that actually saves a player from bruises and pain
Australia played against New Zealand Israel Mexico Taipei and Bulgaria In the round-robin competition Australia only lost once to Bulgaria 1-0 and defeated the other nations Australia charged through New Zealand in their last game and won 6-0 Luke won lsquoMost Valuable Playerrsquo in this stunning victory Luke played hard in every international match and lsquoloved every minutersquo Lukersquos coach is highly respected Australian player Rhett Kelly
Luke plays for successful local ice hockey team the FLYERS However Craig Beacroft the McCarthy Catholic College Sport Organiser advises there are no plans to introduce ice hockey as a school sport lsquoI think there is enough potential for bruises from existing sports Luke is obviously a tough competitor and the college is proud of himrsquo

Bush 2 BledisloePenrith will play host to the last leg of the Qantas Wallabies
ldquoBush2Bledisloerdquo initiative when the team visits the city on Friday 8 August ahead of their test match against New Zealand
The new lsquoBush2Bledisloersquo team initiative was created by Qantas Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie and will bring passionate supporters closer to the national team than ever before with a range of community activities planned during each stage of the tour
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said he was looking forward to welcoming the Wallabies to Penrith as they attempt to win back the coveted Bledisloe Cup
ldquoPenrith has a rich sporting culture and Irsquom sure the community will get right behind the Wallabies as they prepare to play the All Blacksrdquo Cr Fowler said
ldquoThe Bush2Bledisloe is the fi rst of its kind and one that our city is pleased to off er its support to one of our national teamsrdquo
Fans will get a unique opportunity to meet their Qantas Wallabies heroes during daily open training and fan activity sessions and will also get the chance to see and hold-up the prestigious Bledisloe Cup
The tour kicks off in Dubbo before travelling to Orange and Bathurst with Penrith being the last destination prior to playing New Zealand in Sydney on 16 August The concept aims to engage the Wallabiesrsquo players with the community while at the same time bringing the community closer to the team
A full schedule of Bush2Bledisloe open training sessions and community engagement activities will be released in the lead-up to the opening Bledisloe Cup

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

William Cox Historical Festival Proactive Inspections Could Save LivesPenrith Councilrsquos Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Program
has one aim ndash to stop drowningsThe program developed and adopted by Council in 2013
as a response to changes to state legislation was designed to enhance the safety of children under fi ve around backyard swimming pools
Mayor Ross Fowler OAM said Council offi cers had begun contacting pool and spa owners to organise inspections
ldquoThe Inspection Program will of course take time to roll out across the Cityrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoBut we are encouraging pool and spa owners to contact us to organise inspections at their homes as soon as possible
ldquoWe need to ensure pools and spas have safety barriers that meet the Australian standards By being proactive we can stop drownings and the devastating injuries that can occur to children who nearly drownrdquo
The Barrier Inspection Program applies to all pools and spas including those that are portable and infl atable
Fees apply for inspections It is $150 for the fi rst inspection and $100 if a second inspection is required
ldquoThese fees cover our costs to implement the Swimming Pools Barrier Inspection Programrdquo Cr Fowler said ldquoThis is not a money-making exercise for Council but a program aimed at saving livesrdquo
If your pool fence complies a certifi cate of compliance can be issued which is valid for three years
You can also carry out a self assessment of your swimming pool barrier fence to assist with compliance before a Council inspection Checklists can be found at swimmingpoolregisternswgovauchecklists
Pools must be also be registered on the NSW Swimming Pool register This includes pools in private residences as well as pools at tourist accommodation and multi-occupancy dwellings
Registration is free Go to swimmingpoolregisternswgovau For more information contact Penrith Councilrsquos Swimming

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

Pamper Your SkinDid you know the skin is the largest organ of the body yet it
is the one which we generally give the least thought to when it comes to our health
Not only does the skin hold us together it also regulates body temperature acts as a blood reservoir protects against some forms of bacteria and viruses allows us to experience various sensations eg warmth coolness touch pressure vibration amp pain aids in excretion and absorption of various substances aids in the synthesis of Vitamin D and allows transdermal drug administration All good reasons to look after your skin
The best way to do this is Remain hydrated by drinking healthy water ndash make wise choices
ndash even showering in chemical laden water can have an eff ect on your skin and your health
Limit sun exposure ndash particularly in summer to prevent skin cancers etc Time spent in the early morning and late afternoon is preferable to the middle of the day
Wear protective clothing ndash to protect from sun and windMoisturise regularly ndash summer or winter your skin can dry out
You need to replenish the moisture with eff ective moisturisers Choose these wisely Read the label and check the ingredients which are listed in order of concentration Some may be classed as potentially harmful and can be absorbed transdermally They may also irritate existing skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis
Pamper your skin ndash look after your health The choice is yours

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
Succession planning begins with owners and managers incorporating succession planning into their business plan from the outset Your adviser can help you initiate discussions about succession planning for your business and ensure you are prepared for the futurei ABS Small Business An economic overview May 2012 httpwwwabsgovauwebsitedbsd3310114nsf4a256353001af3ed4b2562bb00121564d291d673c4c5aab4ca257a330014dda2$FILERBA2Small20Business20An20economic20Overview202012ii lsquoMicrosoft appoints Satya Nadella and demonstrates how not to appoint a CEOrsquo by Andrew Cave Forbes Feb 4 2014

MONEY MATTERS
Nothing Succeeds like Succession
PlanningSmall business is generally regarded as the
backbone of the Australian economy but that strong back is showing signs of age With 30 per cent of all small business owners aged on the wrong side of 55i it is important to have a
succession plan in placeIdeally succession planning should begin when the business
is formed to ensure a smooth transition if and when the need arises But all too often founders put succession planning in the too-hard basket leaving themselves open to fi nancial and emotional stress when the decision is thrust upon them
There are a number of reasons why this is the case Fear of death reluctance to hand over control diffi culty choosing among children or a refusal to acknowledge the need for planning
Handing over power to a new generation is a tricky process in any corporate environment
Rupert Murdoch at age 83 has only just anointed elder son Lachlan as his heir apparent after years of playing his children off against one anotherA Cautionary Tale
Large organisations devote signifi cant resources to fi nding and grooming chief executives and board members and small businesses can learn from their example But sometimes even the most successful companies get it wrong
Computer software giant Microsoft recently drew criticism for its handling of the appointment of a chief executive offi cer to replace Steve Ballmerii After 14 years at the helm Ballmer announced last August that he was stepping down The company did not announce a successor immediately instead signalling it would happen within a year To make matters worse at around the same time Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced he would step aside as chairman to make way for an independent non-executive chairman
This created a leadership vacuum and wild speculation in the press about likely external candidates The company also gave confl icting signals about its future direction
It took fi ve months to appoint Satya Nadella as CEO Given that he had been with the company for 21 years observers wondered why the succession had not been organised earlierCanvass Your Options
Many small business owners hope to keep it in the family by handing the baton to the next generation That is an option but it is not necessarily the best oneAppoint a Family Member
Handing control to an adult child or another family member does have many advantages provided the chosen individual is
qualifi ed and willing to accept the role But that is not always the case On the positive side it ensures the founderrsquos vision for the business has a good chance of outliving them they can maintain some infl uence over the company after they retire and have the satisfaction of knowing that their lifersquos work has been of benefi t for future generationsAppoint a Manager
If there are no suitable candidates within the family an outsider can be appointed This might be an individual already employed in the business or an external manager Sometimes a temporary professional manager is appointed to bridge the gap and perhaps mentor a family member until the are ready for the role The most important issue for family businesses turning to an outsider is trust The family must be confi dent that the company and their interests will be in safe handsSell as a Going Concern
Sometimes the best option for an owner is to sell the business and move on to new challenges or retirement Options include a trade sale stock market fl otation or a management buy-outWith a stock market fl oat the founder can retain equity and cash in some of the value they have built in the company while raising capital to fund future growth
A management buy-out is a compromise solution to ensure continuity of the business without having to sell on the open marketLiquidate
The least palatable option is to sell off the companyrsquos assets settle all outstanding debts and close the business This is generally seen as the last resort because it can be costly and is unlikely to raise as much money as the sale of the business as a going concern There may also be an emotional cost in having to let loyal employees goDo Nothing
Burying your head in the sand is the default option and unfortunately it is all too common By the time the founder is no longer able to run the business or the business has struggled for many years a fi re sale may be the only option left And unfortunately that is the least profi table outcome
