It’s pretty rare you get to witness a moment in Australian history, but that’s exactly what I did on the weekend.

I have attended sporting events in every code across the country, but never have I experienced anything like the pandemonium at Adelaide’s Morphettville Racecourse on the weekend.

Black Caviar, the undisputed Queen of Australian racing, was the star attraction and she didn’t disappoint.

It was her 21st win from 21 starts – and the party atmosphere was greater than any 21st I’ve ever been to before.! e beauty of this racehorse is

that everyone is on her side. Horse racing is traditionally full of highs and lows – you win and you lose – but rarely, if ever, has there been a horse which has everyone’s support.

Sure, there was Phar Lap, which inspired many through the depression with his inspirational career – but even that champion

would lose 14 races during his famous career.

Black Caviar has now won in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney, and heads o" to take on the world’s best in England next month.

We were actually quite privileged in Sydney – her win here last year was easily the most impressive of her career.

It’s the only time she has been challenged… it looked like Hay List had her beaten, but the champion found a sixth gear no one knew she had and sped home to win like it was never in doubt.

But seeing Black Caviar on the weekend reminded me of just how special she is. It’s rare to see a good news story, and even more rare for it to be something that everyone can celebrate and enjoy.! e crowds arrived hours before

Black Caviar ran, dressed in her trademark salmon. In the mounting yard, the crowd was 20 deep to get a glimpse of her – I know this

because I was caught in the crush, and actually had someone fall on my head after trying to stand on his mate’s shoulders for a better vantage point.

As the horses headed onto the track, the challengers all held back and let Black Caviar prance the straight to the crowds roaring approval – it was an unprecedented show of respect in racing circles.! e next time the adoring public

would see the # ve-year-old was as she tore to victory. ! e jockeys behind were

cracking their whips in a frenzy, while Luke Nolen did not touch his ride… he looked as if he could’ve poured himself a cuppa up there such was his casualness.

If you haven’t taken any interest in Black Caviar’s career to date, I strongly urge you to do so from here on.

It’s sounds trite, but it will genuinely be one of those stories you tell your grandkids about one day.

I t’s time to tease your hair and put on your glad-rags when the hit musical, Hairspray, returns to Sydney in May.Set in 1960s Baltimore, Hairspray is the

story of Tracy Turnblad, an overweight but spunky and talented teenage girl who just won’t take no for an answer. Tracy must overcome the prejudices of the day in order to realise her dream of dancing on ! e Corny Collins TV Show.! e Broadway and movie blockbuster

will be reborn with Australia’s # rst ever community production of the show at the Canterbury-Hurlstone Park RSL from May 25.

! e Weekender has a double pass to Hairspray at Canterbury Hurlstone Park to give away. For your chance to win, like us on facebook and then email [email protected] by May 22 with your name and address. Authorised under NSW Permit Number LTPM/11/00917.

The father of the 22-year-old Marrickville woman who allegedly stabbed her ex-boyfriend to death on Sunday evening

outside the family’s Livingstone Road home said they are a “good family” that has now been “destroyed”.

Avalino Silva, 49, told reporters he was in bed when he heard his son and daughter “screaming” outside the house.

Later on Sunday evening, police arrested Mr Silva, his daughter, Jessica, and her brother following the fatal stabbing of 28-year-old James Polkinghorne.

Police said Mr Polkinghorne, who is the father of Ms Silva’s 2-year-old child, arrived at the Silva’s home as a Mother’s Day dinner was concluding.

Following an altercation with Ms Silva, Mr Polkinghorne was stabbed several times. Paramedics transported him to RPA hospital, but he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Superintendent Greg Peters from Marrickville Police said they believe the weapon may have been an ordinary kitchen knife from the house.

“Forensic inquiries are being conducted on the knife that we’ve located to test to see whether it is the actual weapon that was involved,” Supt Peters said.

Ms Silva, a childcare worker, was charged with murder and appeared in Newtown Local Court on Monday. She was refused bail and will appear in court again next month.

The Coroner who presided over the inquest into the deaths

of six people at a Marrickville boarding house between June 2009 and August 2010 has severely criticised the 300 Hostel’s treatment of its residents, but stopped short of saying the poor conditions killed them.

In her ! ndings, Coroner Mary Jerram said the deceased – Shaneen Batts, Ilona Takacs, Dorothy Hudson, Ian Birks, Donald MacKellar and Mohammed Talet

Ramzan – were “uncared for, poorly treated medically and neglected” at the Livingstone Road boarding house.

“" e standards of hygiene and nutrition at the hostel were poor, facilities run down or not usable, and overall care sadly lacking,” Ms Jerram said.

“Reviews of medication, if they took place at all, were not properly recorded, and medical note-taking was negligible to the point of negligence.”

Asha Ramzen, the sister of

deceased man, Mohammed Ramzan, said she was disappointed by the lack of detail in the Coroner’s report.

“" e dismal conditions he lived in, his nutrition, the fact that he chained smoked in bed, the fact that he wasn’t found for two days… I don’t think it’s good enough,” she told 2UE.

" e Coroner’s report also called for changes to the way the state’s boarding houses operate including tougher restrictions on how they are managed.

Poor conditionsCoroner says local boarding house lacked overall care

NEWS IN BRIEF

SIDS and Kids announced this week revised guidelines to reduce the risk of sudden and unexpected infant death, including a new recommendation – ‘breastfeed baby if you can’.

According to research, breastfeeding babies more than halves the chances of a baby dying suddenly and unexpectedly.

SIDS and Kids is an Australian community-based organisation dedicated to saving the lives of babies and children.

Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian on " ursday rea# rmed the NSW Government’s view that fatigue management and drug and alcohol testing requirements for train drivers in NSW must not be relaxed when the National Rail Safety Regulator is established in January 2013.

Ms Berejiklian will meet with state and federal transport ministers in South Australia on Friday.

Local MP, Carmel Tebbutt, has launched a petition to get the State Government to commit

to upgrading Marrickville Station. Ms Tebbutt urged the local

community to support a push for better access to the station while collecting signatures there last " ursday morning.

“Currently, passengers with a

disability, older people and parents with prams struggle at Marrickville Station,” Ms Tebbutt said.

“When I speak to people at the top of the staircase to the platform, they tell me of many instances where they have missed trains, dropped their bags, struggled down with their young child in a pram or simply given up.”

While neighbouring Newtown and Sydenham Stations have both received major refurbishments,

Marrickville is yet to receive the go-ahead for an upgrade.

Ms Tebbutt said she wrote to the Minister for Transport to ask when the planned upgrade would go ahead, but has received “no commitment.”

Under the rules of NSW Parliament, petitions with 10,000 or more signatures must be set down for debate and responded to by the Minister.

" e Minister for Transport did not respond by deadline.

The Coal Seam Gas (CSG) mining company that holds the license

to drill for gas at St Peters has shelved plans to explore the site.

Dart Energy made the announcement to the Stock Exchange late last week, indicating the company had no plans to drill at the site and that it was “committed to open

and transparent engagement” with the community.

But those against CSG mining in St Peters say they are relieved but not completely convinced that there are no plans to explore the St Peters site for gas in the future.

“Only when the approval to drill at the St Peters site is o! cially revoked, will we drop our cynicism and then begin to think about a quiet celebration,” said Jacinta

Green from Stop CSG Sydney.“[" ey] should

acknowledge that CSG mining is inappropriate for urban areas,” said a Greens NSW spokesperson, Jeremy Buckingham.

Dart Energy’s announcement follows a decision by Marrickville Council last week to prohibit CSG mining as a condition of a pending development application for the St Peters site.

“I will look back on my eight years of service with pride, and focus on

how I can bring my local government experience to assist the Greens in future planning and policy.”

Small Business Champion

Awards 2012

A Council program that promotes s u s t a i n a b i l i t y

in local businesses has been hailed a success by the NSW Government’s Environmental Trust.

Marrickville Council’s target sustainability@ Marrickville program is helping 117 local businesses to reduce their carbon footprint, greenhouse gas emissions, water use and waste.

So far, it’s estimated that almost 15,000 kilolitres of water has been saved, 1,400 tonnes of carbon dioxide abated and over 1,400 tonnes of waste saved from land! ll.

Local businesses are also pleased with the program’s results.

Sarah Mandelson, CEO of Marrickville-based Serendipity Ice Cream, has been a long-time participant of the program.

“I think I’m reasonably

well-educated on the subject, but it never hurts to have more information to hand,” she said.

Ms Mandelson believes the program has opened new sustainability opportunities for her business, including new ways to better recycle their waste.

" e owner of Top Video in Dulwich Hill, Achiles Christidis, said the program has saved him more than $1,500 a year.

The family-owned inner west aged care facility, Berala On " e Park,

has taken out the top prize in its ! eld at the Australian Small Business Awards for 2012.

It can now add the 2012 Champion in Aged Care Services prize to a healthy list of previous year’s wins, including Business Person of the Year, Winner Outstanding Service Excellence & Innovation and Winner

Outstanding Environmental Sustainability in 2011.

" e recent award comes as no surprise to the residents and sta# of the Auburn aged-care facility, including Berala On " e Park’s CEO, Linda " omson, who is proud of the achievement.

“" e Australian Small Business Champion Awards is like winning the Logies of the business world,” she said. “Our business is highly innovative and at

the cutting edge of aged care, in particular our pain management program, our palliative care, dementia program and our activity calendar.”

Berala On " e Park also has 24-hour nursing care, as well as 125 places for low and high care and a dementia-speci! c ward.

" e facility prides itself on o# ering the highest standard of comfort, security, privacy and dignity for its residents.

Small business is getting riskier for many owners in 2012, with tens of thousands of SMEs now more likely to experience # nancial stress over the next 12 months, according to new research from Dun & Bradstreet.

One in 10 businesses with fewer than 20 employees now faces a higher risk of failure than a year previously.

When businesses go under, it’s generally not because they’re not making an accounting pro# t, but because they simply don’t have enough cash to pay their bills. In fact, there are plenty of pro# table businesses that have ended up in administration simply because of cash $ ow issues.

" ere are ways to improve your SME’s cash $ ow, accelerate cash collections, slow down cash expenditure or reassess your business accounts and overdrafts.

A cash crunch can be the result of just a few late-paying clients. " e # rst step is the chase up those who owe you money for payment.

" en reduce payment terms; a lot of businesses o! er 90-day credit terms, but if you’re su! ering a cash-$ ow problem consider o! ering just 30 days credit, for instance. In exchange for reduced payment terms, o! er a discount to clients who can pay straight away.

Finally, talk to your lender and compare business loans.

Although the ! nancial picture becomes clearer every day, you

still tend to spend money you don’t have. Whilst I know you like a certain kind of life style it will not do much for you in the long run. Get a grip on your cash in readiness for developments coming your way, which will arrive sooner than you think. If you wish to have ! nancial security in the long term then you need to be more disciplined in the way you handle your ! scal a" airs.

You are ready to enjoy yourself, but you will be choosy about your

company, you need to spend time with those who inspire you and who think along the same wave lengths as you do. Opt to only spend time with those who are well read and informed. # is will make your day stimulating and enjoyable. # ose who attempt to intimidate you should be swept to one side, because for once you know exactly what needs to be done. All it needs is con! dence.

Your popularity is glowing even more brightly than usual among

friends and team mates. You instinctively put others at ease and will be welcomed wherever you go. Even though you can’t push forward with major plans at home or at work at the moment you can still create beauty, bliss and harmony around you. You’re feeling excited and con! dent about changes coming up in the next few weeks but now is the time to get everything into order.

It looks like acquaintances are seeing the more gentle side of

your nature, and will be quick to tell others in your circle of friends. It’s nice to be the good guy from time to time, isn’t it? New people you meet will be stimulating your imagination and perhaps unwittingly, rede! ning your goals. # e next few weeks are a highly sociable time and many of you will become involved with a new group of associates and acquaintances.

# e Moon will be sizzling its way through the earthy sign of Taurus,

so you are much more con! dent where professional matters are concerned. It’s a great time for putting ingenious ideas to your boss because he or she will most certainly take them on board. Push ahead with any ambitious ideas you want to present as others will look upon them favourably. If you are at all artistic, you’ll be receiving at least one pat on the shoulder and probably more.

During the next fortnight it will a great deal easier for you to communicate your likes, dislikes and thoughts to other people even if they come from a totally di" erent culture or background than your own – your words will ! nd a warm welcome. If you’re planning to visit friends, family or loved ones who live at a distance it’s likely to be a lot more enjoyable than you expect. # e more open minded you are in the weeks ahead the more you will gain out of life.

# e next two weeks is the ideal time for making important ! nancial

decisions. Money worries have been on your mind for some time, but instead of letting your nerves control you, it is important that you listen to an acquaintance who has some excellent advice for you. # e coming fortnight is a good time to rid yourself of bad habits, old fears, insecurities and phobias. More importantly it is time to rid yourself of any kind of self-pity.

# e Moon is coasting along in your opposite sign of Taurus and so from

now on you’re going to have to take on board the wants, needs and requests of other people. Recent tensions in your love life can easily be swept to one side – all it takes is a kind word or gesture to make sure you are not found lacking. Friends and acquaintances will also be far more communicative than is usually the case and don’t be surprised if they con! de their secrets to you.

# e next fortnight is going to be a highly productive time when you

can make up for lost time. If you are trying to instigate some important changes at work, don’t be too independent as other people’s ideas will trigger your imagination and your plans will fall into place much more easily than expected. # is is the ideal time to clear up problems and to put practices into place to prevent them happening again. Embark on a new health regime!

Be ready to enjoy yourself. Once again you seem to be the centre

of attention, which always makes you feel special. You are certainly receiving a few signs that seem to mean a lot to you. No matter what complications arise, take some time out for romance or other pleasurable pursuits. Don’t let others persuade you otherwise. Children and younger people will be a delight to be around as they will help you to connect with your own inner child!

With the Moon in Taurus there will be plenty of news in connection

with family, friends, relatives and people you haven’t seen for some time. It looks as though you will be doing a great deal of entertaining at home, which may mean having certain business colleagues meet your family. Also you may decide to brighten up your home. If you don’t know what you’re doing it would be wise to seek some professional advice.

Invitations from friends and neighbours are likely to come from

out of the blue, but you would be wise to grab them with both hands as you will enjoy the occasion more than you expect. You are mentally astute and others appreciate your intellectual vitality so why not let these qualities shine! Conversations will $ ow easily, so keep your wits about you, be your charming self and you will discover things about others that can used to your advantage!

Arthritis in the knees

Q. I su! er from very painful arthritis in my

knees. " e recent cold nights have made it even worse. What is the pain caused by and how can I stop it?

! e feeling of pain is your body’s way of telling you that there is in" ammation present.

In" ammation is a key component in the joint pain of arthritis. It is a protective mechanism but can also be the result of diet, lifestyle factors and stress.

Pharmaceutical anti-in" ammatories carry risks such as causing damage to your digestive tract. Fortunately there are some safe and e# ective natural anti-in" ammatory and pain relief solutions available:

Turmeric: ! is Ayurvedic • herb has been used traditionally for the treatment of traumatic injury, and to reduce swelling and pain in arthritic conditions. Boswellia: Has analgesic, • anti-rheumatic and anti in" ammatory actions, as well as being e# ective for

arthritis. Omega 3 essential • fatty acids from $ sh oil containing EPA and DHA, may reduce acute and chronic pain and in" ammation.

! e typical Western diet may actually promote in" ammation, especially high amounts of sugar and re$ ned carbohydrates.

Here are some simple tips to reduce in" ammation:

Eat a diet full of fresh fruit, 1. a variety of vegetables and good fats from $ sh and nuts.Minimise your intake of 2. re$ ned carbohydrates such as white bread, pasta, white rice, cereals. Minimise your intake of red 3. meat and opt instead for $ sh, chicken or vegetarian protein sources such as chickpeas or tofu.

If you need help with managing painful arthritis during the colder months, make an appointment to see Susan Garrad at Women’s Health, Naturally at Summer Hill on 9798 9322. Alternatively, you can visit her website at www.womenshealthnaturally.com.au.

Staying Healthy Susan Garrad

Keeping FitDavid Stein

Addicted to Diet

" anks for the positive feedback from last week, it’s great to talk to someone like a mum who is making more educated choices for her family.

! is week Shaun O’Brien has emailed a letter in for us.

Addicted to Diet: “I have a friend who drinks two

to three Diet Cokes a day. She says she’s trying to quit but she just can’t kick the habit.

So have diet soft drinks become the new smoking addiction? I wonder if the reasoning behind arti$ cial sweeteners the big companies put in products today is the same as when cigarette companies in the 50’s added nicotine to make them more addictive.

One of the big culprits is a sweetener called Aspartame, or 951 as it appears on the label. It is one of the most controversial additives in history taking almost 20 years to be approved after it was $ rst discovered by a chemist in 1965.

While looking for a treatment for ulcers he licked his $ nger to notice a sweet taste. After a lot of opposition, Aspartame was $ nally approved for use in 1984 at which

point more than three million kilograms of it was distributed into food for human consumption, and that $ gure doubled a year later.

Coincidentally within six months the rate of aggressive brain cancers had increased by 60 per cent and diabetes by 30 per cent.

More than 75 per cent of all reported chemical food allergies in the United States come from Aspartame.

Ironically, it was marketed to people wanting to lose weight as it is 200 per cent sweeter than sugar and almost zero calories. However, it does anything but.

When ingested, the tastebuds send a signal to the brain to let the stomach know that food/nutrition is on the way, however when the arti$ cial sugar arrives it’s not recognised as a food, so the stomach sends a message back up to the brain to send down more food.

! is is why overweight people are starving. Is it any wonder then that diabetes continues to increase even though there are so many ‘sugar free’ and ‘fat free’ products available on the market?

Aspartame isn’t alone. ! ere are

other arti$ cial sweeteners to watch out for such as 950 and 955 also called Sucralose – this was actually discovered while trying to create a new insecticide. ! ese chemicals are as close to sugar as cocaine is to the coca plant. Be wary of anything that says ‘Diet’ and always read the label.”

Classical concert pianist, Ambre Hammond, says

she is “blessed” to be able to perform for audiences around the world.

! e Marrickville local, who shares a house with Phil Stack of Aussie band, ! irsty Merc, is back in town after a whirlwind tour playing to packed audiences in the US.

“It’s been an unorthodox life, but I consider myself really lucky to have my hobby as a career,” she said.

Ms Hammond was raised in the country and began studying the piano at the age of three under the watchful eye of her mother, who had little musical training.

At the tender age of 11, she achieved a world record when she was awarded the Associate & Licentiate Diplomas of Music in the same year. She later travelled the world playing with various pianists and Symphony Orchestras.

! ese days, Ms Hammond is busy touring as a solo artist, playing regularly with musicians like James Morrison, managing other talent and being mum to her daughter, 9, who is a promising jazz singer.

“[My daughter] is now doing her own gigs as a jazz singer and has already hung out a couple of times with Stevie Wonder,” she said.

See Ambre Hammond play on ! ursday, May 24 at La Brasserie, 118 Crown Street, Surry Hills.

The busy crew at the Newtown Neighbourhood

Centre has put together a fun schedule of entertaining events for the second half of 2012.

With the news that the Newtown Festival is set to return this year despite earlier question marks over its funding, the Centre has also announced it will hold an unusual signing competition for contestants to tackle well-known songs in a di" erent way.

! e Anthem Singing Competition will require entrants to sing a national anthem from any country around the world in their own unique style.

It is slated for June 23 as part of the Open Marrickville week of multicultural events.

! e more absurd and creative performances, the better, said the Centre’s project o# cer, Ken Saunders. He’s encouraging anyone to register for a spot.

“Right now [we’re getting] the word out so people will register to sing. If no one enters, I’ll don a beret and have a go at the Marseillaise – not that I’m French but I was always impressed with the Marseillaise scene from the

movie, Casablanca.”! e Anthem contest

will be held on Saturday, June 23 in the Newtown Square during the Newtown Community markets. People can register to sing by contacting the Centre on 9516 4755.

The Newtown Jets recorded one of their biggest wins in several

seasons with their 64-24 demolition of the Newcastle Knights at Henson Park. ! e unexpected result propels Newtown back into fourth place in the competition.

! e Jets made an ideal start to the match, running up an 18-0 lead after only 12 minutes through two tries to centre, Justin Carney,

and one to halfback, Daniel Mortimer.

! e Jets led 24-6 after 20 minutes when NSW Under 20s representative prop, Kane Evans, powered through a wall of Knights defenders.

A surge from the Knights to take the score to 24-18 made Newtown’s defence look alarmingly fragile before tries to Adam Henry and Daniel Tupou, plus a " ve-goal haul to Mark Kheirallah,

gave the Jets a more robust 34-18 lead by halftime.

Early second half tries to Kheirallah and Mortimer strengthened Newtown’s position and a try to Carney and two to Jack Littlejohn sealed the game for the Jets in the " nal minutes.

Coach, Greg Matterson, said his team had prepared well and had worked hard on shifting the ball faster to the outside backs.

TIGER RUMBLINGSTroy Dodds

Let’s talk aboutOrigin football

The famous American football coach Vince Lombardi once said, “Football is like life – it requires perseverance, self-

denial, hard work, sacri" ce, dedication and respect for authority”.

On Tuesday, I had the great privilege of watching the New South Wales State of Origin team go through their paces in a training session at Penrith, ahead of their trip to Melbourne to take on the juggernaut that is Queensland next week.

As I watched the session, I thought about the words of Lombardi.

! ere is no doubt that over the past six years, New South Wales has had plenty of lessons in perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacri" ce, dedication and respect for authority.

At some point, however, it has to mean something.

At some point, the tide has to turn.But when it comes to sport, the tide

turning is so very rarely related to a bounce of the ball here or a great hit there.

! at may be a by-product, but the real reason a tide turns is attitude.

Can New South Wales beat Queensland? Of course they can.

It’s a two horse race, on Australia’s greatest sporting stage.

17 versus 17. Anyone can win on the night.

! e question though, is whether New South Wales has the right attitude.

Lombardi spoke about respect for authority.

Ironic, to talk about attitude and respect, when at least one of the players selected for the Blues has had his questioned more than once in the past few years.

! e attitude of Michael Jennings alone, is a very real issue.

Whether Jennings was dumped to reserve grade because of poor form or a poor general attitude (I tend to think it’s the latter) is no longer the issue.

After all, his attitude, not form, has now become the $64 million question because Jennings’ response to being dumped to reserve grade, and then his subsequent elevation into Origin, is important.

Ricky Stuart’s greatest challenge this week is getting inside the head of one of his greatest strike weapons and getting a positive result.

Lombardi said, “It’s not whether you get knocked down, it’s whether you get up”.

Jennings, and the Blues, have been knocked down a fair bit in the last six years.

It’s time now for the Blues to get up, and stop the Queensland whitewash.
