Helping The Garden Grow
Growing vegies is the best way for children to learn about growing food With this in mind the Rotary club of Lower Blue Mountains approached Tony Best (pictured left) Principal of Emu Plains Public School to discuss the best way of installing a vegeta-ble garden at the school The Rotary club will help fund and set up the fully fenced vegie patch with the aim of en-couraging the children at the school to learn more about growing food
This venture will involve Lower Blue Rotarians Emu Plains Public School staff students and hopefully the PampC (Parents and Citizens) The Rotary club will provide funding infor-mation and manpower to help create and maintain the garden
The garden will be situated close to water access and storage for the gar-dening equipment A water tank may be installed later as part of the project
ldquoEmu Plains Public School has an environment committee consisting of staff and children who take their roles
very seriouslyrdquo said Tony Best ldquoand so I be-lieve the garden project is sustainablerdquo
Mr Best is very en-thusiastic about com-munity involvement ldquoEmu Plains Public School is a hub in the local communityrdquo he said
Mulched garden beds and protection from possums will help to ensure a good crop of assorted organic ve-gies is grown Salad vegetables will be used in the school canteen Successful crops of other vegies may be sold to help maintain the garden
ldquoThe Rotary club of Lower Blue Moun-tains is looking forward to meeting the Emu Plains Public Schoolrsquos environment commit-tee and PampC to discuss the best way forward with this venturerdquo said
Frank Behl (above right) President of the Rotary club
Christine Behl and Del and Bob Jeal who were at the meeting said that they expected the garden to be prepared over winter to be ready for spring planting

River RestorationResidents can continue to enjoy the
majestic Nepean Riverrsquos scenic beauty with Penrith City Council committing funds recently to continue rehabilitat-ing the river bank along River Road at Emu Plains
Penrith City Mayor Jim Aitken OAM said Council committed a fur-ther $35000 this year toward remov-
ing weeds and replanting native vegetation as part of its popu-lar River Road Riparian Plan of Management
ldquoCouncil is steadily and pur-posefully restor-
ing the river view to its former gloryrdquo Councillor Aitken said ldquoThe historically well known panoramic views attracted famous 19th Century artists such as Streeton Conder Long Ashton and Fullwood to paint Council wants 21st
century residents and visitors to enjoy the pleasure of similar views
ldquoRemoving weeds and replacing them with natives keeps the banks from eroding Great headway has al-ready been made since work started in 2007 but the work needs to be done slowly to ensure the river bank is stable The work is labour intensive because it is a difficult job to remove
weeds such as Privet Box elder Camphor laurel and Lantana This year Penrith City Council is continuing the job and will con-tinue the job until it is finishedrdquo
River Rd Robbery
One man has been charged and police are searching for two oth-ers following a burgla-ry in Emu Plains Be-
tween midnight and 330am on Sun-day June 7 at least three people stole two vehicles and a quantity of house-hold goods from a home on River Rd Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Rental Assistance for Domestic Violence
VictimsA new $16 million rental subsidy
initiative will help domestic violence victims into private accommodation The Safe Start Private Rental Sub-sidy Scheme which will be offered in Western Sydney will house around 1650 women with children in private rental accommodation over the next four years
ldquoAfter hearing from domestic vio-lence support workers about the need for more womenrsquos services I am very glad to be able to fund this new ini-tiative in the upcoming Budgetrdquo said Premier Rees ldquoThe NSW Government is committed to strengthening the sup-port and services it offers to domestic violence victimsrdquo
Minister for Women Verity Firth said Safe Start is about ensuring women with children who are escap-ing domestic violence get the support they need to secure and sustain a safe home ldquoDomestic violence victims can often spend lengthy periods in tempo-rary or crisis accommodation and in the worst cases are forced into home-lessnessrdquo Ms Firth said
ldquoSafe Start will help ensure that women and children are not forced are return to violent homes because they have no-where else to gordquo
Subsidised rents will be available to approved applicants for up to 12 months and they will only have to pay the same amount as other social hous-ing tenants ensuring their rent is rea-sonable Follow-up support including a six-month review will be provided to ensure tenants can make the transition from the subsidy at the end of the 12-month period

The 3 Rrsquos Reduce Reuse recycle
REDUCE Reduce the amount you consume
and the amount of waste you produce Here are some handy tips bull Take your own bags or cardboard boxes shopping- even use calico bags and say NO to throw-away plastic bags It is also handy to keep a few shopping bags or boxes in the car in case you do some unexpected shopping bull Buy in bulk It reduces the amount of packaging you take home and saves you money bull Buy only what you need Impulse buying may result in buying things you canrsquot really use ask yourself ldquoDo I re-ally need thisrdquo bull Nowadays there are a multitude of single-use products on the market Avoid buying disposable products like nappies razors or tissues- the dura-ble alternatives (cloth nappies electric razors and handkerchiefs) last longer and are cheaper in the long run bull Making homemade is usually cheap-er and more satisfying than buying pre-made pre-packaged items bull Buy fresh fruit (and compost the scraps) instead of buying pre-pack-aged fruit in containers bull Buy rechargeable batteries bull Take your own mug where drinks may be served in disposable cups (work conferences functions) bull Send messages via email rather then fax and save paper
REUSE Many products have more than one
life Try these easy examples bull Repair items rather than throwing them away bull Reuse old materials for handicrafts bull Refill a drink bottle bull Use a lunchbox
bull Reuse plastic bags as bin liners bull Make handy garden scoops out of old milk bottles bull Use both sides of paper and then recycle bull Reuse old cards or old wrapping pa-per and ribbon for presents bull Reuse glass jars for lollies or a vase bull Borrow or swap items rather than buying new ones bull Give old clothes toys and furniture to a charity bull Hold a garage sale to get rid of un-wanted items or use websites such as freecycle or ebay and make some ex-tra money while yoursquore at it bull Use the back of an envelope for shopping lists
RECyCLE Recycling turns old products into
new products- recycling is something we can all do to help conserve our pre-cious material resources Remember bull Use your kerbside recycling collec-tion to recycle
bull newspaper notepaper envelopes and magazines bull egg cartons bull cardboard boxes (flattened) bull aluminium cans and steel cans bull aerosol (spray) cans bull milk amp juice cartons bull plastic bottles jars tubs and con-tainers (milk soft drink cordial de-tergent amp shampoo bottles and ice-cream margarine butter yoghurt and dairy food containers) bull glass bottles amp jars (green brown and clear glass)
bull Feed your fruit and vegetable scraps to a worm farm or compost bull Use drop off centres to recycle car batteries gas bottles paint tins build-ing materials whitegoods and tyres bull Excess household recyclables can be dropped off at transfer stations free of charge bull Recycle print cartridges at Australia Post or Harvey Norman Stores

Poisoning Spike New figures from the NSW Poi-
sons Information Centre show it re-ceived more than 8000 calls regard-ing suspected paracetamol overdose last year half of them in children Unfortunately Nepean Hospital holds the dubious distinction of topping the list of calls to the Poisons Centre by hospital staff
The centre received more than 119000 calls from throughout Austral-ia last year almost 80000 from NSW 50 relating to accidental poisoning in
children ndash of these 15 were hospital-ised Of most concern is the amount of people particularly children who have ingested large doses of over-the-coun-ter medicines
ldquoMost accidental poisonings oc-cur in children younger than five with children aged between one and three most at risk in western Sydneyrdquo he said
Some helpful tipsbull Store medicines and chemicals
out of sight and reach of children at least 15 metres off the ground and in a locked child-resistant container
bull Use medicines and chemicals safely by following given instructions and return them to safe storage imme-diately after use
bull Buy products in child-resistant containers and use child-resistant locks on cupboards or cabinets bull En-sure all products are stored in their original containers and are clearly labelled
bull Be alert to household poisons out-side the home which are stored in the garage or garden shed and
bull Take extra care when the house-hold routine changes ndash when on holi-day moving house when hosting visi-tors or during times of family stress
The Poisons Information Centre can be contacted on 13 11 26 For more information go to wwwpoison-sinfonswgovau

pears the search for an elderly man missing from Mt Riverview has ended sadly About 915am on Wednesday June 17 officers from the Blue Moun-tains Police Rescue Squad assisted by volunteers from the Rural Fire Service commenced a search of an area of bushland at Mount Riverview A short time later the body of a man was found in a creek near Nicholas Parade The body has not been for-mally identified however police believe it to be that of an 88-year-old man suf-fering dementia who last seen in the vicinity of his home about 6pm on Sun-day June 14
The man had attended the Nepean Hospital about 4pm on Sunday with his wife who had fallen ill About 5pm he was seen by staff to enter a taxi from the casualty area of the hospital where his wife was admitted The driver of the taxi confirmed to police that he took the elderly man to Mt Riverview about 6pm and dropped him off about a block from his house He had not been seen or heard from since Police held grave concerns for his welfare due to his age and his medical condi-tion and freezing weather conditions
An extensive search operation had been conducted in the area and involved police from the Blue Moun-tains and Penrith Local Area Com-mands PolAir and Rural Fire Service volunteers
Composting Made Easy
By turning your food and garden waste into compost you can make a difference to our environment Com-posting reduces the amount of waste you dispose into land fill as well as cre-ating a natural fertiliser which is great
for improving soil quality And best of all itrsquos easy to do
1 Choose the SiteThe ideal location for compost has
good drainage and is well shaded 2 What to compost Compost is a mix of different
materials - Nitrogen rich kitchen organics
such as fruit and vegetable peelings green garden organics such as fresh grass clippings green leaves and weeds and manure
- Nitrogen poor brown garden or-ganics such as dry leaves woody twigs paper and straw
3 LayeringTo build the compost start with a
thick layer (15cm) of twigs or coarse mulch at the base for drainage Then follow the easy A B C formula to build a heap layer upon layer
A Thin layer of kitchen organics and green garden organics
B Cover with a layer of brown gar-den organics ensuring no food waste is left exposed
C Moisten well Then repeat steps A B amp C
4 Maintaining your compost It is important to add air to the com-
post so it doesnrsquot smell This can be done by regularly turning it with a gar-den fork or by placing garden stakes or pipes through the heap to allow air in
Common Compost Problems Composting is like baking a cake
ndash sometimes the recipe doesnrsquot work or the cake wonrsquot rise
However composting is a natu-ral process so it doesnrsquot take much to work out the problem and to fix it Some common problems and solu-tions are listed below
bull Smelly Compost Your compost will start to smell if it gets too wet or if there is not enough air in the heap Fix It Add dry leaves or garden mulch and turn the compost to get more air
through the heap Garden lime dolo-mite or woodfire ash will also help to eliminate the smell Ensure there are sticks to create a lsquofloorrsquo to ensure good drainage
bull Slow maturing compost Your compost doesnrsquot break down quick enough to keep up with your needs Fix It Adding nitrogen-rich material such as kitchen organics and green garden organics can speed up the composting process Turn the heap often and make sure your compost is moist
bull unwelcome Visitors Ants cock-roaches mice or rats can sometimes find there way into your compost and make it their home Fix It Always en-sure the food heap is covered with a layer of green organics ndash then cover the heap with hessian Turning the heap regularly discourages the ants and cockroaches and placing fine wire under the compost bin will help keep out mice and rats
HINT Avoid placing meat or dairy products in your compost
HINT Adding some soil into your compost heap will introduce the micro-organisms that break down food waste and help minimize odours

Helping The Garden Grow
Growing vegies is the best way for children to learn about growing food With this in mind the Rotary club of Lower Blue Mountains approached Tony Best (pictured left) Principal of Emu Plains Public School to discuss the best way of installing a vegeta-ble garden at the school The Rotary club will help fund and set up the fully fenced vegie patch with the aim of en-couraging the children at the school to learn more about growing food
This venture will involve Lower Blue Rotarians Emu Plains Public School staff students and hopefully the PampC (Parents and Citizens) The Rotary club will provide funding infor-mation and manpower to help create and maintain the garden
The garden will be situated close to water access and storage for the gar-dening equipment A water tank may be installed later as part of the project
ldquoEmu Plains Public School has an environment committee consisting of staff and children who take their roles
very seriouslyrdquo said Tony Best ldquoand so I be-lieve the garden project is sustainablerdquo
Mr Best is very en-thusiastic about com-munity involvement ldquoEmu Plains Public School is a hub in the local communityrdquo he said
Mulched garden beds and protection from possums will help to ensure a good crop of assorted organic ve-gies is grown Salad vegetables will be used in the school canteen Successful crops of other vegies may be sold to help maintain the garden
ldquoThe Rotary club of Lower Blue Moun-tains is looking forward to meeting the Emu Plains Public Schoolrsquos environment commit-tee and PampC to discuss the best way forward with this venturerdquo said
Frank Behl (above right) President of the Rotary club
Christine Behl and Del and Bob Jeal who were at the meeting said that they expected the garden to be prepared over winter to be ready for spring planting

River RestorationResidents can continue to enjoy the
majestic Nepean Riverrsquos scenic beauty with Penrith City Council committing funds recently to continue rehabilitat-ing the river bank along River Road at Emu Plains
Penrith City Mayor Jim Aitken OAM said Council committed a fur-ther $35000 this year toward remov-
ing weeds and replanting native vegetation as part of its popu-lar River Road Riparian Plan of Management
ldquoCouncil is steadily and pur-posefully restor-
ing the river view to its former gloryrdquo Councillor Aitken said ldquoThe historically well known panoramic views attracted famous 19th Century artists such as Streeton Conder Long Ashton and Fullwood to paint Council wants 21st
century residents and visitors to enjoy the pleasure of similar views
ldquoRemoving weeds and replacing them with natives keeps the banks from eroding Great headway has al-ready been made since work started in 2007 but the work needs to be done slowly to ensure the river bank is stable The work is labour intensive because it is a difficult job to remove
weeds such as Privet Box elder Camphor laurel and Lantana This year Penrith City Council is continuing the job and will con-tinue the job until it is finishedrdquo
River Rd Robbery
One man has been charged and police are searching for two oth-ers following a burgla-ry in Emu Plains Be-
tween midnight and 330am on Sun-day June 7 at least three people stole two vehicles and a quantity of house-hold goods from a home on River Rd Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Rental Assistance for Domestic Violence
VictimsA new $16 million rental subsidy
initiative will help domestic violence victims into private accommodation The Safe Start Private Rental Sub-sidy Scheme which will be offered in Western Sydney will house around 1650 women with children in private rental accommodation over the next four years
ldquoAfter hearing from domestic vio-lence support workers about the need for more womenrsquos services I am very glad to be able to fund this new ini-tiative in the upcoming Budgetrdquo said Premier Rees ldquoThe NSW Government is committed to strengthening the sup-port and services it offers to domestic violence victimsrdquo
Minister for Women Verity Firth said Safe Start is about ensuring women with children who are escap-ing domestic violence get the support they need to secure and sustain a safe home ldquoDomestic violence victims can often spend lengthy periods in tempo-rary or crisis accommodation and in the worst cases are forced into home-lessnessrdquo Ms Firth said
ldquoSafe Start will help ensure that women and children are not forced are return to violent homes because they have no-where else to gordquo
Subsidised rents will be available to approved applicants for up to 12 months and they will only have to pay the same amount as other social hous-ing tenants ensuring their rent is rea-sonable Follow-up support including a six-month review will be provided to ensure tenants can make the transition from the subsidy at the end of the 12-month period
The scheme to be administered by Housing NSW
The 3 Rrsquos Reduce Reuse recycle
REDUCE Reduce the amount you consume
and the amount of waste you produce Here are some handy tips bull Take your own bags or cardboard boxes shopping- even use calico bags and say NO to throw-away plastic bags It is also handy to keep a few shopping bags or boxes in the car in case you do some unexpected shopping bull Buy in bulk It reduces the amount of packaging you take home and saves you money bull Buy only what you need Impulse buying may result in buying things you canrsquot really use ask yourself ldquoDo I re-ally need thisrdquo bull Nowadays there are a multitude of single-use products on the market Avoid buying disposable products like nappies razors or tissues- the dura-ble alternatives (cloth nappies electric razors and handkerchiefs) last longer and are cheaper in the long run bull Making homemade is usually cheap-er and more satisfying than buying pre-made pre-packaged items bull Buy fresh fruit (and compost the scraps) instead of buying pre-pack-aged fruit in containers bull Buy rechargeable batteries bull Take your own mug where drinks may be served in disposable cups (work conferences functions) bull Send messages via email rather then fax and save paper
REUSE Many products have more than one
life Try these easy examples bull Repair items rather than throwing them away bull Reuse old materials for handicrafts bull Refill a drink bottle bull Use a lunchbox
bull Reuse plastic bags as bin liners bull Make handy garden scoops out of old milk bottles bull Use both sides of paper and then recycle bull Reuse old cards or old wrapping pa-per and ribbon for presents bull Reuse glass jars for lollies or a vase bull Borrow or swap items rather than buying new ones bull Give old clothes toys and furniture to a charity bull Hold a garage sale to get rid of un-wanted items or use websites such as freecycle or ebay and make some ex-tra money while yoursquore at it bull Use the back of an envelope for shopping lists
RECyCLE Recycling turns old products into
new products- recycling is something we can all do to help conserve our pre-cious material resources Remember bull Use your kerbside recycling collec-tion to recycle
bull newspaper notepaper envelopes and magazines bull egg cartons bull cardboard boxes (flattened) bull aluminium cans and steel cans bull aerosol (spray) cans bull milk amp juice cartons bull plastic bottles jars tubs and con-tainers (milk soft drink cordial de-tergent amp shampoo bottles and ice-cream margarine butter yoghurt and dairy food containers) bull glass bottles amp jars (green brown and clear glass)
bull Feed your fruit and vegetable scraps to a worm farm or compost bull Use drop off centres to recycle car batteries gas bottles paint tins build-ing materials whitegoods and tyres bull Excess household recyclables can be dropped off at transfer stations free of charge bull Recycle print cartridges at Australia Post or Harvey Norman Stores

sons Information Centre show it re-ceived more than 8000 calls regard-ing suspected paracetamol overdose last year half of them in children Unfortunately Nepean Hospital holds the dubious distinction of topping the list of calls to the Poisons Centre by hospital staff
The centre received more than 119000 calls from throughout Austral-ia last year almost 80000 from NSW 50 relating to accidental poisoning in
children ndash of these 15 were hospital-ised Of most concern is the amount of people particularly children who have ingested large doses of over-the-coun-ter medicines
ldquoMost accidental poisonings oc-cur in children younger than five with children aged between one and three most at risk in western Sydneyrdquo he said
Some helpful tipsbull Store medicines and chemicals
out of sight and reach of children at least 15 metres off the ground and in a locked child-resistant container

bull Be alert to household poisons out-side the home which are stored in the garage or garden shed and
bull Take extra care when the house-hold routine changes ndash when on holi-day moving house when hosting visi-tors or during times of family stress

Sad SearchAt the time of going to print it ap-
pears the search for an elderly man missing from Mt Riverview has ended sadly About 915am on Wednesday June 17 officers from the Blue Moun-tains Police Rescue Squad assisted by volunteers from the Rural Fire Service commenced a search of an area of bushland at Mount Riverview A short time later the body of a man was found in a creek near Nicholas Parade The body has not been for-mally identified however police believe it to be that of an 88-year-old man suf-fering dementia who last seen in the vicinity of his home about 6pm on Sun-day June 14
The man had attended the Nepean Hospital about 4pm on Sunday with his wife who had fallen ill About 5pm he was seen by staff to enter a taxi from the casualty area of the hospital where his wife was admitted The driver of the taxi confirmed to police that he took the elderly man to Mt Riverview about 6pm and dropped him off about a block from his house He had not been seen or heard from since Police held grave concerns for his welfare due to his age and his medical condi-tion and freezing weather conditions
An extensive search operation had been conducted in the area and involved police from the Blue Moun-tains and Penrith Local Area Com-mands PolAir and Rural Fire Service volunteers
Composting Made Easy
By turning your food and garden waste into compost you can make a difference to our environment Com-posting reduces the amount of waste you dispose into land fill as well as cre-ating a natural fertiliser which is great
for improving soil quality And best of all itrsquos easy to do
1 Choose the SiteThe ideal location for compost has
good drainage and is well shaded 2 What to compost Compost is a mix of different
materials - Nitrogen rich kitchen organics
such as fruit and vegetable peelings green garden organics such as fresh grass clippings green leaves and weeds and manure
- Nitrogen poor brown garden or-ganics such as dry leaves woody twigs paper and straw
3 LayeringTo build the compost start with a
thick layer (15cm) of twigs or coarse mulch at the base for drainage Then follow the easy A B C formula to build a heap layer upon layer
A Thin layer of kitchen organics and green garden organics
B Cover with a layer of brown gar-den organics ensuring no food waste is left exposed
C Moisten well Then repeat steps A B amp C
4 Maintaining your compost It is important to add air to the com-
post so it doesnrsquot smell This can be done by regularly turning it with a gar-den fork or by placing garden stakes or pipes through the heap to allow air in
Common Compost Problems Composting is like baking a cake
ndash sometimes the recipe doesnrsquot work or the cake wonrsquot rise
However composting is a natu-ral process so it doesnrsquot take much to work out the problem and to fix it Some common problems and solu-tions are listed below
bull Smelly Compost Your compost will start to smell if it gets too wet or if there is not enough air in the heap Fix It Add dry leaves or garden mulch and turn the compost to get more air
through the heap Garden lime dolo-mite or woodfire ash will also help to eliminate the smell Ensure there are sticks to create a lsquofloorrsquo to ensure good drainage
bull Slow maturing compost Your compost doesnrsquot break down quick enough to keep up with your needs Fix It Adding nitrogen-rich material such as kitchen organics and green garden organics can speed up the composting process Turn the heap often and make sure your compost is moist
bull unwelcome Visitors Ants cock-roaches mice or rats can sometimes find there way into your compost and make it their home Fix It Always en-sure the food heap is covered with a layer of green organics ndash then cover the heap with hessian Turning the heap regularly discourages the ants and cockroaches and placing fine wire under the compost bin will help keep out mice and rats
HINT Avoid placing meat or dairy products in your compost
HINT Adding some soil into your compost heap will introduce the micro-organisms that break down food waste and help minimize odours

Helping The Garden Grow
Growing vegies is the best way for children to learn about growing food With this in mind the Rotary club of Lower Blue Mountains approached Tony Best (pictured left) Principal of Emu Plains Public School to discuss the best way of installing a vegeta-ble garden at the school The Rotary club will help fund and set up the fully fenced vegie patch with the aim of en-couraging the children at the school to learn more about growing food
This venture will involve Lower Blue Rotarians Emu Plains Public School staff students and hopefully the PampC (Parents and Citizens) The Rotary club will provide funding infor-mation and manpower to help create and maintain the garden
The garden will be situated close to water access and storage for the gar-dening equipment A water tank may be installed later as part of the project
ldquoEmu Plains Public School has an environment committee consisting of staff and children who take their roles
very seriouslyrdquo said Tony Best ldquoand so I be-lieve the garden project is sustainablerdquo
Mr Best is very en-thusiastic about com-munity involvement ldquoEmu Plains Public School is a hub in the local communityrdquo he said
Mulched garden beds and protection from possums will help to ensure a good crop of assorted organic ve-gies is grown Salad vegetables will be used in the school canteen Successful crops of other vegies may be sold to help maintain the garden
ldquoThe Rotary club of Lower Blue Moun-tains is looking forward to meeting the Emu Plains Public Schoolrsquos environment commit-tee and PampC to discuss the best way forward with this venturerdquo said
Frank Behl (above right) President of the Rotary club
Christine Behl and Del and Bob Jeal who were at the meeting said that they expected the garden to be prepared over winter to be ready for spring planting

River RestorationResidents can continue to enjoy the
majestic Nepean Riverrsquos scenic beauty with Penrith City Council committing funds recently to continue rehabilitat-ing the river bank along River Road at Emu Plains
Penrith City Mayor Jim Aitken OAM said Council committed a fur-ther $35000 this year toward remov-
ing weeds and replanting native vegetation as part of its popu-lar River Road Riparian Plan of Management
ldquoCouncil is steadily and pur-posefully restor-
ing the river view to its former gloryrdquo Councillor Aitken said ldquoThe historically well known panoramic views attracted famous 19th Century artists such as Streeton Conder Long Ashton and Fullwood to paint Council wants 21st
century residents and visitors to enjoy the pleasure of similar views
ldquoRemoving weeds and replacing them with natives keeps the banks from eroding Great headway has al-ready been made since work started in 2007 but the work needs to be done slowly to ensure the river bank is stable The work is labour intensive because it is a difficult job to remove
weeds such as Privet Box elder Camphor laurel and Lantana This year Penrith City Council is continuing the job and will con-tinue the job until it is finishedrdquo
River Rd Robbery
One man has been charged and police are searching for two oth-ers following a burgla-ry in Emu Plains Be-
tween midnight and 330am on Sun-day June 7 at least three people stole two vehicles and a quantity of house-hold goods from a home on River Rd Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Rental Assistance for Domestic Violence
VictimsA new $16 million rental subsidy
initiative will help domestic violence victims into private accommodation The Safe Start Private Rental Sub-sidy Scheme which will be offered in Western Sydney will house around 1650 women with children in private rental accommodation over the next four years
ldquoAfter hearing from domestic vio-lence support workers about the need for more womenrsquos services I am very glad to be able to fund this new ini-tiative in the upcoming Budgetrdquo said Premier Rees ldquoThe NSW Government is committed to strengthening the sup-port and services it offers to domestic violence victimsrdquo
Minister for Women Verity Firth said Safe Start is about ensuring women with children who are escap-ing domestic violence get the support they need to secure and sustain a safe home ldquoDomestic violence victims can often spend lengthy periods in tempo-rary or crisis accommodation and in the worst cases are forced into home-lessnessrdquo Ms Firth said
ldquoSafe Start will help ensure that women and children are not forced are return to violent homes because they have no-where else to gordquo
Subsidised rents will be available to approved applicants for up to 12 months and they will only have to pay the same amount as other social hous-ing tenants ensuring their rent is rea-sonable Follow-up support including a six-month review will be provided to ensure tenants can make the transition from the subsidy at the end of the 12-month period

The 3 Rrsquos Reduce Reuse recycle
REDUCE Reduce the amount you consume
and the amount of waste you produce Here are some handy tips bull Take your own bags or cardboard boxes shopping- even use calico bags and say NO to throw-away plastic bags It is also handy to keep a few shopping bags or boxes in the car in case you do some unexpected shopping bull Buy in bulk It reduces the amount of packaging you take home and saves you money bull Buy only what you need Impulse buying may result in buying things you canrsquot really use ask yourself ldquoDo I re-ally need thisrdquo bull Nowadays there are a multitude of single-use products on the market Avoid buying disposable products like nappies razors or tissues- the dura-ble alternatives (cloth nappies electric razors and handkerchiefs) last longer and are cheaper in the long run bull Making homemade is usually cheap-er and more satisfying than buying pre-made pre-packaged items bull Buy fresh fruit (and compost the scraps) instead of buying pre-pack-aged fruit in containers bull Buy rechargeable batteries bull Take your own mug where drinks may be served in disposable cups (work conferences functions) bull Send messages via email rather then fax and save paper
REUSE Many products have more than one
life Try these easy examples bull Repair items rather than throwing them away bull Reuse old materials for handicrafts bull Refill a drink bottle bull Use a lunchbox
bull Reuse plastic bags as bin liners bull Make handy garden scoops out of old milk bottles bull Use both sides of paper and then recycle bull Reuse old cards or old wrapping pa-per and ribbon for presents bull Reuse glass jars for lollies or a vase bull Borrow or swap items rather than buying new ones bull Give old clothes toys and furniture to a charity bull Hold a garage sale to get rid of un-wanted items or use websites such as freecycle or ebay and make some ex-tra money while yoursquore at it bull Use the back of an envelope for shopping lists
RECyCLE Recycling turns old products into
new products- recycling is something we can all do to help conserve our pre-cious material resources Remember bull Use your kerbside recycling collec-tion to recycle
bull newspaper notepaper envelopes and magazines bull egg cartons bull cardboard boxes (flattened) bull aluminium cans and steel cans bull aerosol (spray) cans bull milk amp juice cartons bull plastic bottles jars tubs and con-tainers (milk soft drink cordial de-tergent amp shampoo bottles and ice-cream margarine butter yoghurt and dairy food containers) bull glass bottles amp jars (green brown and clear glass)
bull Feed your fruit and vegetable scraps to a worm farm or compost bull Use drop off centres to recycle car batteries gas bottles paint tins build-ing materials whitegoods and tyres bull Excess household recyclables can be dropped off at transfer stations free of charge bull Recycle print cartridges at Australia Post or Harvey Norman Stores

Should Wilkins sentence include a flogging he will be taken to the Corps hospital next to the court to be patched up
Amongst their duties on the day the Marines will challenge along with other teams from the district the win-ners of last yearrsquos Leg Pull competi-tion ldquoA great effort is being made to acquaint children with local history with the help of the Marinesrsquo re-enact-ments You could describe it as a day of learning and funrdquo said Craig Wern-er President of the Nepean District Historical Society

Poisoning Spike New figures from the NSW Poi-
sons Information Centre show it re-ceived more than 8000 calls regard-ing suspected paracetamol overdose last year half of them in children Unfortunately Nepean Hospital holds the dubious distinction of topping the list of calls to the Poisons Centre by hospital staff
The centre received more than 119000 calls from throughout Austral-ia last year almost 80000 from NSW 50 relating to accidental poisoning in
children ndash of these 15 were hospital-ised Of most concern is the amount of people particularly children who have ingested large doses of over-the-coun-ter medicines
ldquoMost accidental poisonings oc-cur in children younger than five with children aged between one and three most at risk in western Sydneyrdquo he said
Some helpful tipsbull Store medicines and chemicals
out of sight and reach of children at least 15 metres off the ground and in a locked child-resistant container
bull Use medicines and chemicals safely by following given instructions and return them to safe storage imme-diately after use
bull Buy products in child-resistant containers and use child-resistant locks on cupboards or cabinets bull En-sure all products are stored in their original containers and are clearly labelled
bull Be alert to household poisons out-side the home which are stored in the garage or garden shed and
bull Take extra care when the house-hold routine changes ndash when on holi-day moving house when hosting visi-tors or during times of family stress

Sad SearchAt the time of going to print it ap-
pears the search for an elderly man missing from Mt Riverview has ended sadly About 915am on Wednesday June 17 officers from the Blue Moun-tains Police Rescue Squad assisted by volunteers from the Rural Fire Service commenced a search of an area of bushland at Mount Riverview A short time later the body of a man was found in a creek near Nicholas Parade The body has not been for-mally identified however police believe it to be that of an 88-year-old man suf-fering dementia who last seen in the vicinity of his home about 6pm on Sun-day June 14
The man had attended the Nepean Hospital about 4pm on Sunday with his wife who had fallen ill About 5pm he was seen by staff to enter a taxi from the casualty area of the hospital where his wife was admitted The driver of the taxi confirmed to police that he took the elderly man to Mt Riverview about 6pm and dropped him off about a block from his house He had not been seen or heard from since Police held grave concerns for his welfare due to his age and his medical condi-tion and freezing weather conditions
An extensive search operation had been conducted in the area and involved police from the Blue Moun-tains and Penrith Local Area Com-mands PolAir and Rural Fire Service volunteers
Composting Made Easy
By turning your food and garden waste into compost you can make a difference to our environment Com-posting reduces the amount of waste you dispose into land fill as well as cre-ating a natural fertiliser which is great
for improving soil quality And best of all itrsquos easy to do
1 Choose the SiteThe ideal location for compost has
good drainage and is well shaded 2 What to compost Compost is a mix of different
materials - Nitrogen rich kitchen organics
such as fruit and vegetable peelings green garden organics such as fresh grass clippings green leaves and weeds and manure
- Nitrogen poor brown garden or-ganics such as dry leaves woody twigs paper and straw
3 LayeringTo build the compost start with a
thick layer (15cm) of twigs or coarse mulch at the base for drainage Then follow the easy A B C formula to build a heap layer upon layer
A Thin layer of kitchen organics and green garden organics
B Cover with a layer of brown gar-den organics ensuring no food waste is left exposed
C Moisten well Then repeat steps A B amp C
4 Maintaining your compost It is important to add air to the com-
post so it doesnrsquot smell This can be done by regularly turning it with a gar-den fork or by placing garden stakes or pipes through the heap to allow air in
Common Compost Problems Composting is like baking a cake
ndash sometimes the recipe doesnrsquot work or the cake wonrsquot rise
However composting is a natu-ral process so it doesnrsquot take much to work out the problem and to fix it Some common problems and solu-tions are listed below
bull Smelly Compost Your compost will start to smell if it gets too wet or if there is not enough air in the heap Fix It Add dry leaves or garden mulch and turn the compost to get more air
through the heap Garden lime dolo-mite or woodfire ash will also help to eliminate the smell Ensure there are sticks to create a lsquofloorrsquo to ensure good drainage
bull Slow maturing compost Your compost doesnrsquot break down quick enough to keep up with your needs Fix It Adding nitrogen-rich material such as kitchen organics and green garden organics can speed up the composting process Turn the heap often and make sure your compost is moist
bull unwelcome Visitors Ants cock-roaches mice or rats can sometimes find there way into your compost and make it their home Fix It Always en-sure the food heap is covered with a layer of green organics ndash then cover the heap with hessian Turning the heap regularly discourages the ants and cockroaches and placing fine wire under the compost bin will help keep out mice and rats
HINT Avoid placing meat or dairy products in your compost
HINT Adding some soil into your compost heap will introduce the micro-organisms that break down food waste and help minimize odours

River RestorationResidents can continue to enjoy the
majestic Nepean Riverrsquos scenic beauty with Penrith City Council committing funds recently to continue rehabilitat-ing the river bank along River Road at Emu Plains
Penrith City Mayor Jim Aitken OAM said Council committed a fur-ther $35000 this year toward remov-
ing weeds and replanting native vegetation as part of its popu-lar River Road Riparian Plan of Management
ldquoCouncil is steadily and pur-posefully restor-
ing the river view to its former gloryrdquo Councillor Aitken said ldquoThe historically well known panoramic views attracted famous 19th Century artists such as Streeton Conder Long Ashton and Fullwood to paint Council wants 21st
century residents and visitors to enjoy the pleasure of similar views
ldquoRemoving weeds and replacing them with natives keeps the banks from eroding Great headway has al-ready been made since work started in 2007 but the work needs to be done slowly to ensure the river bank is stable The work is labour intensive because it is a difficult job to remove
weeds such as Privet Box elder Camphor laurel and Lantana This year Penrith City Council is continuing the job and will con-tinue the job until it is finishedrdquo
River Rd Robbery

tween midnight and 330am on Sun-day June 7 at least three people stole two vehicles and a quantity of house-hold goods from a home on River Rd Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Rental Assistance for Domestic Violence
VictimsA new $16 million rental subsidy
initiative will help domestic violence victims into private accommodation The Safe Start Private Rental Sub-sidy Scheme which will be offered in Western Sydney will house around 1650 women with children in private rental accommodation over the next four years
ldquoAfter hearing from domestic vio-lence support workers about the need for more womenrsquos services I am very glad to be able to fund this new ini-tiative in the upcoming Budgetrdquo said Premier Rees ldquoThe NSW Government is committed to strengthening the sup-port and services it offers to domestic violence victimsrdquo
Minister for Women Verity Firth said Safe Start is about ensuring women with children who are escap-ing domestic violence get the support they need to secure and sustain a safe home ldquoDomestic violence victims can often spend lengthy periods in tempo-rary or crisis accommodation and in the worst cases are forced into home-lessnessrdquo Ms Firth said
ldquoSafe Start will help ensure that women and children are not forced are return to violent homes because they have no-where else to gordquo
Subsidised rents will be available to approved applicants for up to 12 months and they will only have to pay the same amount as other social hous-ing tenants ensuring their rent is rea-sonable Follow-up support including a six-month review will be provided to ensure tenants can make the transition from the subsidy at the end of the 12-month period

The 3 Rrsquos Reduce Reuse recycle
REDUCE Reduce the amount you consume
and the amount of waste you produce Here are some handy tips bull Take your own bags or cardboard boxes shopping- even use calico bags and say NO to throw-away plastic bags It is also handy to keep a few shopping bags or boxes in the car in case you do some unexpected shopping bull Buy in bulk It reduces the amount of packaging you take home and saves you money bull Buy only what you need Impulse buying may result in buying things you canrsquot really use ask yourself ldquoDo I re-ally need thisrdquo bull Nowadays there are a multitude of single-use products on the market Avoid buying disposable products like nappies razors or tissues- the dura-ble alternatives (cloth nappies electric razors and handkerchiefs) last longer and are cheaper in the long run bull Making homemade is usually cheap-er and more satisfying than buying pre-made pre-packaged items bull Buy fresh fruit (and compost the scraps) instead of buying pre-pack-aged fruit in containers bull Buy rechargeable batteries bull Take your own mug where drinks may be served in disposable cups (work conferences functions) bull Send messages via email rather then fax and save paper
REUSE Many products have more than one
life Try these easy examples bull Repair items rather than throwing them away bull Reuse old materials for handicrafts bull Refill a drink bottle bull Use a lunchbox
bull Reuse plastic bags as bin liners bull Make handy garden scoops out of old milk bottles bull Use both sides of paper and then recycle bull Reuse old cards or old wrapping pa-per and ribbon for presents bull Reuse glass jars for lollies or a vase bull Borrow or swap items rather than buying new ones bull Give old clothes toys and furniture to a charity bull Hold a garage sale to get rid of un-wanted items or use websites such as freecycle or ebay and make some ex-tra money while yoursquore at it bull Use the back of an envelope for shopping lists
RECyCLE Recycling turns old products into
new products- recycling is something we can all do to help conserve our pre-cious material resources Remember bull Use your kerbside recycling collec-tion to recycle
bull newspaper notepaper envelopes and magazines bull egg cartons bull cardboard boxes (flattened) bull aluminium cans and steel cans bull aerosol (spray) cans bull milk amp juice cartons bull plastic bottles jars tubs and con-tainers (milk soft drink cordial de-tergent amp shampoo bottles and ice-cream margarine butter yoghurt and dairy food containers) bull glass bottles amp jars (green brown and clear glass)
bull Feed your fruit and vegetable scraps to a worm farm or compost bull Use drop off centres to recycle car batteries gas bottles paint tins build-ing materials whitegoods and tyres bull Excess household recyclables can be dropped off at transfer stations free of charge bull Recycle print cartridges at Australia Post or Harvey Norman Stores

Poisoning Spike New figures from the NSW Poi-
sons Information Centre show it re-ceived more than 8000 calls regard-ing suspected paracetamol overdose last year half of them in children Unfortunately Nepean Hospital holds the dubious distinction of topping the list of calls to the Poisons Centre by hospital staff
The centre received more than 119000 calls from throughout Austral-ia last year almost 80000 from NSW 50 relating to accidental poisoning in
children ndash of these 15 were hospital-ised Of most concern is the amount of people particularly children who have ingested large doses of over-the-coun-ter medicines
ldquoMost accidental poisonings oc-cur in children younger than five with children aged between one and three most at risk in western Sydneyrdquo he said
Some helpful tipsbull Store medicines and chemicals
out of sight and reach of children at least 15 metres off the ground and in a locked child-resistant container
bull Use medicines and chemicals safely by following given instructions and return them to safe storage imme-diately after use
bull Buy products in child-resistant containers and use child-resistant locks on cupboards or cabinets bull En-sure all products are stored in their original containers and are clearly labelled
bull Be alert to household poisons out-side the home which are stored in the garage or garden shed and
bull Take extra care when the house-hold routine changes ndash when on holi-day moving house when hosting visi-tors or during times of family stress
The Poisons Information Centre can be contacted on 13 11 26 For more information go to wwwpoison-sinfonswgovau

pears the search for an elderly man missing from Mt Riverview has ended sadly About 915am on Wednesday June 17 officers from the Blue Moun-tains Police Rescue Squad assisted by volunteers from the Rural Fire Service commenced a search of an area of bushland at Mount Riverview A short time later the body of a man was found in a creek near Nicholas Parade The body has not been for-mally identified however police believe it to be that of an 88-year-old man suf-fering dementia who last seen in the vicinity of his home about 6pm on Sun-day June 14
The man had attended the Nepean Hospital about 4pm on Sunday with his wife who had fallen ill About 5pm he was seen by staff to enter a taxi from the casualty area of the hospital where his wife was admitted The driver of the taxi confirmed to police that he took the elderly man to Mt Riverview about 6pm and dropped him off about a block from his house He had not been seen or heard from since Police held grave concerns for his welfare due to his age and his medical condi-tion and freezing weather conditions
An extensive search operation had been conducted in the area and involved police from the Blue Moun-tains and Penrith Local Area Com-mands PolAir and Rural Fire Service volunteers
Composting Made Easy
By turning your food and garden waste into compost you can make a difference to our environment Com-posting reduces the amount of waste you dispose into land fill as well as cre-ating a natural fertiliser which is great
for improving soil quality And best of all itrsquos easy to do
1 Choose the SiteThe ideal location for compost has
good drainage and is well shaded 2 What to compost Compost is a mix of different
materials - Nitrogen rich kitchen organics
such as fruit and vegetable peelings green garden organics such as fresh grass clippings green leaves and weeds and manure
- Nitrogen poor brown garden or-ganics such as dry leaves woody twigs paper and straw
3 LayeringTo build the compost start with a
thick layer (15cm) of twigs or coarse mulch at the base for drainage Then follow the easy A B C formula to build a heap layer upon layer
A Thin layer of kitchen organics and green garden organics
B Cover with a layer of brown gar-den organics ensuring no food waste is left exposed
C Moisten well Then repeat steps A B amp C
4 Maintaining your compost It is important to add air to the com-
post so it doesnrsquot smell This can be done by regularly turning it with a gar-den fork or by placing garden stakes or pipes through the heap to allow air in
Common Compost Problems Composting is like baking a cake
ndash sometimes the recipe doesnrsquot work or the cake wonrsquot rise
However composting is a natu-ral process so it doesnrsquot take much to work out the problem and to fix it Some common problems and solu-tions are listed below
bull Smelly Compost Your compost will start to smell if it gets too wet or if there is not enough air in the heap Fix It Add dry leaves or garden mulch and turn the compost to get more air
through the heap Garden lime dolo-mite or woodfire ash will also help to eliminate the smell Ensure there are sticks to create a lsquofloorrsquo to ensure good drainage
bull Slow maturing compost Your compost doesnrsquot break down quick enough to keep up with your needs Fix It Adding nitrogen-rich material such as kitchen organics and green garden organics can speed up the composting process Turn the heap often and make sure your compost is moist
bull unwelcome Visitors Ants cock-roaches mice or rats can sometimes find there way into your compost and make it their home Fix It Always en-sure the food heap is covered with a layer of green organics ndash then cover the heap with hessian Turning the heap regularly discourages the ants and cockroaches and placing fine wire under the compost bin will help keep out mice and rats
HINT Avoid placing meat or dairy products in your compost
HINT Adding some soil into your compost heap will introduce the micro-organisms that break down food waste and help minimize odours

River RestorationResidents can continue to enjoy the
majestic Nepean Riverrsquos scenic beauty with Penrith City Council committing funds recently to continue rehabilitat-ing the river bank along River Road at Emu Plains
Penrith City Mayor Jim Aitken OAM said Council committed a fur-ther $35000 this year toward remov-
ing weeds and replanting native vegetation as part of its popu-lar River Road Riparian Plan of Management
ldquoCouncil is steadily and pur-posefully restor-
ing the river view to its former gloryrdquo Councillor Aitken said ldquoThe historically well known panoramic views attracted famous 19th Century artists such as Streeton Conder Long Ashton and Fullwood to paint Council wants 21st
century residents and visitors to enjoy the pleasure of similar views
ldquoRemoving weeds and replacing them with natives keeps the banks from eroding Great headway has al-ready been made since work started in 2007 but the work needs to be done slowly to ensure the river bank is stable The work is labour intensive because it is a difficult job to remove
weeds such as Privet Box elder Camphor laurel and Lantana This year Penrith City Council is continuing the job and will con-tinue the job until it is finishedrdquo
River Rd Robbery
One man has been charged and police are searching for two oth-ers following a burgla-ry in Emu Plains Be-
tween midnight and 330am on Sun-day June 7 at least three people stole two vehicles and a quantity of house-hold goods from a home on River Rd Anyone with information should call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Rental Assistance for Domestic Violence
VictimsA new $16 million rental subsidy
initiative will help domestic violence victims into private accommodation The Safe Start Private Rental Sub-sidy Scheme which will be offered in Western Sydney will house around 1650 women with children in private rental accommodation over the next four years
ldquoAfter hearing from domestic vio-lence support workers about the need for more womenrsquos services I am very glad to be able to fund this new ini-tiative in the upcoming Budgetrdquo said Premier Rees ldquoThe NSW Government is committed to strengthening the sup-port and services it offers to domestic violence victimsrdquo
Minister for Women Verity Firth said Safe Start is about ensuring women with children who are escap-ing domestic violence get the support they need to secure and sustain a safe home ldquoDomestic violence victims can often spend lengthy periods in tempo-rary or crisis accommodation and in the worst cases are forced into home-lessnessrdquo Ms Firth said
ldquoSafe Start will help ensure that women and children are not forced are return to violent homes because they have no-where else to gordquo
Subsidised rents will be available to approved applicants for up to 12 months and they will only have to pay the same amount as other social hous-ing tenants ensuring their rent is rea-sonable Follow-up support including a six-month review will be provided to ensure tenants can make the transition from the subsidy at the end of the 12-month period

The 3 Rrsquos Reduce Reuse recycle
REDUCE Reduce the amount you consume
and the amount of waste you produce Here are some handy tips bull Take your own bags or cardboard boxes shopping- even use calico bags and say NO to throw-away plastic bags It is also handy to keep a few shopping bags or boxes in the car in case you do some unexpected shopping bull Buy in bulk It reduces the amount of packaging you take home and saves you money bull Buy only what you need Impulse buying may result in buying things you canrsquot really use ask yourself ldquoDo I re-ally need thisrdquo bull Nowadays there are a multitude of single-use products on the market Avoid buying disposable products like nappies razors or tissues- the dura-ble alternatives (cloth nappies electric razors and handkerchiefs) last longer and are cheaper in the long run bull Making homemade is usually cheap-er and more satisfying than buying pre-made pre-packaged items bull Buy fresh fruit (and compost the scraps) instead of buying pre-pack-aged fruit in containers bull Buy rechargeable batteries bull Take your own mug where drinks may be served in disposable cups (work conferences functions) bull Send messages via email rather then fax and save paper
REUSE Many products have more than one
life Try these easy examples bull Repair items rather than throwing them away bull Reuse old materials for handicrafts bull Refill a drink bottle bull Use a lunchbox
bull Reuse plastic bags as bin liners bull Make handy garden scoops out of old milk bottles bull Use both sides of paper and then recycle bull Reuse old cards or old wrapping pa-per and ribbon for presents bull Reuse glass jars for lollies or a vase bull Borrow or swap items rather than buying new ones bull Give old clothes toys and furniture to a charity bull Hold a garage sale to get rid of un-wanted items or use websites such as freecycle or ebay and make some ex-tra money while yoursquore at it bull Use the back of an envelope for shopping lists
RECyCLE Recycling turns old products into
new products- recycling is something we can all do to help conserve our pre-cious material resources Remember bull Use your kerbside recycling collec-tion to recycle
bull newspaper notepaper envelopes and magazines bull egg cartons bull cardboard boxes (flattened) bull aluminium cans and steel cans bull aerosol (spray) cans bull milk amp juice cartons bull plastic bottles jars tubs and con-tainers (milk soft drink cordial de-tergent amp shampoo bottles and ice-cream margarine butter yoghurt and dairy food containers) bull glass bottles amp jars (green brown and clear glass)
bull Feed your fruit and vegetable scraps to a worm farm or compost bull Use drop off centres to recycle car batteries gas bottles paint tins build-ing materials whitegoods and tyres bull Excess household recyclables can be dropped off at transfer stations free of charge bull Recycle print cartridges at Australia Post or Harvey Norman Stores

Poisoning Spike New figures from the NSW Poi-
sons Information Centre show it re-ceived more than 8000 calls regard-ing suspected paracetamol overdose last year half of them in children Unfortunately Nepean Hospital holds the dubious distinction of topping the list of calls to the Poisons Centre by hospital staff
The centre received more than 119000 calls from throughout Austral-ia last year almost 80000 from NSW 50 relating to accidental poisoning in
children ndash of these 15 were hospital-ised Of most concern is the amount of people particularly children who have ingested large doses of over-the-coun-ter medicines
ldquoMost accidental poisonings oc-cur in children younger than five with children aged between one and three most at risk in western Sydneyrdquo he said
Some helpful tipsbull Store medicines and chemicals
out of sight and reach of children at least 15 metres off the ground and in a locked child-resistant container
bull Use medicines and chemicals safely by following given instructions and return them to safe storage imme-diately after use
bull Buy products in child-resistant containers and use child-resistant locks on cupboards or cabinets bull En-sure all products are stored in their original containers and are clearly labelled
bull Be alert to household poisons out-side the home which are stored in the garage or garden shed and
bull Take extra care when the house-hold routine changes ndash when on holi-day moving house when hosting visi-tors or during times of family stress
The Poisons Information Centre can be contacted on 13 11 26 For more information go to wwwpoison-sinfonswgovau

Sad SearchAt the time of going to print it ap-
pears the search for an elderly man missing from Mt Riverview has ended sadly About 915am on Wednesday June 17 officers from the Blue Moun-tains Police Rescue Squad assisted by volunteers from the Rural Fire Service commenced a search of an area of bushland at Mount Riverview A short time later the body of a man was found in a creek near Nicholas Parade The body has not been for-mally identified however police believe it to be that of an 88-year-old man suf-fering dementia who last seen in the vicinity of his home about 6pm on Sun-day June 14
The man had attended the Nepean Hospital about 4pm on Sunday with his wife who had fallen ill About 5pm he was seen by staff to enter a taxi from the casualty area of the hospital where his wife was admitted The driver of the taxi confirmed to police that he took the elderly man to Mt Riverview about 6pm and dropped him off about a block from his house He had not been seen or heard from since Police held grave concerns for his welfare due to his age and his medical condi-tion and freezing weather conditions
An extensive search operation had been conducted in the area and involved police from the Blue Moun-tains and Penrith Local Area Com-mands PolAir and Rural Fire Service volunteers
Composting Made Easy
By turning your food and garden waste into compost you can make a difference to our environment Com-posting reduces the amount of waste you dispose into land fill as well as cre-ating a natural fertiliser which is great
for improving soil quality And best of all itrsquos easy to do
1 Choose the SiteThe ideal location for compost has
good drainage and is well shaded 2 What to compost Compost is a mix of different
materials - Nitrogen rich kitchen organics
such as fruit and vegetable peelings green garden organics such as fresh grass clippings green leaves and weeds and manure
- Nitrogen poor brown garden or-ganics such as dry leaves woody twigs paper and straw
3 LayeringTo build the compost start with a
thick layer (15cm) of twigs or coarse mulch at the base for drainage Then follow the easy A B C formula to build a heap layer upon layer
A Thin layer of kitchen organics and green garden organics
B Cover with a layer of brown gar-den organics ensuring no food waste is left exposed
C Moisten well Then repeat steps A B amp C
4 Maintaining your compost It is important to add air to the com-
post so it doesnrsquot smell This can be done by regularly turning it with a gar-den fork or by placing garden stakes or pipes through the heap to allow air in
Common Compost Problems Composting is like baking a cake
ndash sometimes the recipe doesnrsquot work or the cake wonrsquot rise
However composting is a natu-ral process so it doesnrsquot take much to work out the problem and to fix it Some common problems and solu-tions are listed below
bull Smelly Compost Your compost will start to smell if it gets too wet or if there is not enough air in the heap Fix It Add dry leaves or garden mulch and turn the compost to get more air
through the heap Garden lime dolo-mite or woodfire ash will also help to eliminate the smell Ensure there are sticks to create a lsquofloorrsquo to ensure good drainage
bull Slow maturing compost Your compost doesnrsquot break down quick enough to keep up with your needs Fix It Adding nitrogen-rich material such as kitchen organics and green garden organics can speed up the composting process Turn the heap often and make sure your compost is moist
bull unwelcome Visitors Ants cock-roaches mice or rats can sometimes find there way into your compost and make it their home Fix It Always en-sure the food heap is covered with a layer of green organics ndash then cover the heap with hessian Turning the heap regularly discourages the ants and cockroaches and placing fine wire under the compost bin will help keep out mice and rats
HINT Avoid placing meat or dairy products in your compost
HINT Adding some soil into your compost heap will introduce the micro-organisms that break down food waste and help minimize odours

Rental Assistance for Domestic Violence
VictimsA new $16 million rental subsidy
initiative will help domestic violence victims into private accommodation The Safe Start Private Rental Sub-sidy Scheme which will be offered in Western Sydney will house around 1650 women with children in private rental accommodation over the next four years
ldquoAfter hearing from domestic vio-lence support workers about the need for more womenrsquos services I am very glad to be able to fund this new ini-tiative in the upcoming Budgetrdquo said Premier Rees ldquoThe NSW Government is committed to strengthening the sup-port and services it offers to domestic violence victimsrdquo
Minister for Women Verity Firth said Safe Start is about ensuring women with children who are escap-ing domestic violence get the support they need to secure and sustain a safe home ldquoDomestic violence victims can often spend lengthy periods in tempo-rary or crisis accommodation and in the worst cases are forced into home-lessnessrdquo Ms Firth said
ldquoSafe Start will help ensure that women and children are not forced are return to violent homes because they have no-where else to gordquo
Subsidised rents will be available to approved applicants for up to 12 months and they will only have to pay the same amount as other social hous-ing tenants ensuring their rent is rea-sonable Follow-up support including a six-month review will be provided to ensure tenants can make the transition from the subsidy at the end of the 12-month period
The scheme to be administered by Housing NSW
The 3 Rrsquos Reduce Reuse recycle
REDUCE Reduce the amount you consume
and the amount of waste you produce Here are some handy tips bull Take your own bags or cardboard boxes shopping- even use calico bags and say NO to throw-away plastic bags It is also handy to keep a few shopping bags or boxes in the car in case you do some unexpected shopping bull Buy in bulk It reduces the amount of packaging you take home and saves you money bull Buy only what you need Impulse buying may result in buying things you canrsquot really use ask yourself ldquoDo I re-ally need thisrdquo bull Nowadays there are a multitude of single-use products on the market Avoid buying disposable products like nappies razors or tissues- the dura-ble alternatives (cloth nappies electric razors and handkerchiefs) last longer and are cheaper in the long run bull Making homemade is usually cheap-er and more satisfying than buying pre-made pre-packaged items bull Buy fresh fruit (and compost the scraps) instead of buying pre-pack-aged fruit in containers bull Buy rechargeable batteries bull Take your own mug where drinks may be served in disposable cups (work conferences functions) bull Send messages via email rather then fax and save paper
REUSE Many products have more than one
life Try these easy examples bull Repair items rather than throwing them away bull Reuse old materials for handicrafts bull Refill a drink bottle bull Use a lunchbox
bull Reuse plastic bags as bin liners bull Make handy garden scoops out of old milk bottles bull Use both sides of paper and then recycle bull Reuse old cards or old wrapping pa-per and ribbon for presents bull Reuse glass jars for lollies or a vase bull Borrow or swap items rather than buying new ones bull Give old clothes toys and furniture to a charity bull Hold a garage sale to get rid of un-wanted items or use websites such as freecycle or ebay and make some ex-tra money while yoursquore at it bull Use the back of an envelope for shopping lists
RECyCLE Recycling turns old products into
new products- recycling is something we can all do to help conserve our pre-cious material resources Remember bull Use your kerbside recycling collec-tion to recycle
bull newspaper notepaper envelopes and magazines bull egg cartons bull cardboard boxes (flattened) bull aluminium cans and steel cans bull aerosol (spray) cans bull milk amp juice cartons bull plastic bottles jars tubs and con-tainers (milk soft drink cordial de-tergent amp shampoo bottles and ice-cream margarine butter yoghurt and dairy food containers) bull glass bottles amp jars (green brown and clear glass)
bull Feed your fruit and vegetable scraps to a worm farm or compost bull Use drop off centres to recycle car batteries gas bottles paint tins build-ing materials whitegoods and tyres bull Excess household recyclables can be dropped off at transfer stations free of charge bull Recycle print cartridges at Australia Post or Harvey Norman Stores

Should Wilkins sentence include a flogging he will be taken to the Corps hospital next to the court to be patched up
Amongst their duties on the day the Marines will challenge along with other teams from the district the win-ners of last yearrsquos Leg Pull competi-tion ldquoA great effort is being made to acquaint children with local history with the help of the Marinesrsquo re-enact-ments You could describe it as a day of learning and funrdquo said Craig Wern-er President of the Nepean District Historical Society
There will be a host of activities for children of all ages Trampoline Bun-gee Jumping Thomas the Tank En-gine face painting the ever popular old fashioned school room games merry-go-round animals to cuddle and a jumping castle
There will be plenty of food mu-sic stalls and displays of all kinds and plenty of entertainment The day which commemorates the day William Cox started the road across the Blue Mountains in 1814 starts at 930 am
Poisoning Spike New figures from the NSW Poi-
sons Information Centre show it re-ceived more than 8000 calls regard-ing suspected paracetamol overdose last year half of them in children Unfortunately Nepean Hospital holds the dubious distinction of topping the list of calls to the Poisons Centre by hospital staff
The centre received more than 119000 calls from throughout Austral-ia last year almost 80000 from NSW 50 relating to accidental poisoning in
children ndash of these 15 were hospital-ised Of most concern is the amount of people particularly children who have ingested large doses of over-the-coun-ter medicines
ldquoMost accidental poisonings oc-cur in children younger than five with children aged between one and three most at risk in western Sydneyrdquo he said
Some helpful tipsbull Store medicines and chemicals
out of sight and reach of children at least 15 metres off the ground and in a locked child-resistant container
bull Use medicines and chemicals safely by following given instructions and return them to safe storage imme-diately after use
bull Buy products in child-resistant containers and use child-resistant locks on cupboards or cabinets bull En-sure all products are stored in their original containers and are clearly labelled
bull Be alert to household poisons out-side the home which are stored in the garage or garden shed and
bull Take extra care when the house-hold routine changes ndash when on holi-day moving house when hosting visi-tors or during times of family stress
The Poisons Information Centre can be contacted on 13 11 26 For more information go to wwwpoison-sinfonswgovau

Sad SearchAt the time of going to print it ap-
pears the search for an elderly man missing from Mt Riverview has ended sadly About 915am on Wednesday June 17 officers from the Blue Moun-tains Police Rescue Squad assisted by volunteers from the Rural Fire Service commenced a search of an area of bushland at Mount Riverview A short time later the body of a man was found in a creek near Nicholas Parade The body has not been for-mally identified however police believe it to be that of an 88-year-old man suf-fering dementia who last seen in the vicinity of his home about 6pm on Sun-day June 14
The man had attended the Nepean Hospital about 4pm on Sunday with his wife who had fallen ill About 5pm he was seen by staff to enter a taxi from the casualty area of the hospital where his wife was admitted The driver of the taxi confirmed to police that he took the elderly man to Mt Riverview about 6pm and dropped him off about a block from his house He had not been seen or heard from since Police held grave concerns for his welfare due to his age and his medical condi-tion and freezing weather conditions
An extensive search operation had been conducted in the area and involved police from the Blue Moun-tains and Penrith Local Area Com-mands PolAir and Rural Fire Service volunteers
Composting Made Easy
By turning your food and garden waste into compost you can make a difference to our environment Com-posting reduces the amount of waste you dispose into land fill as well as cre-ating a natural fertiliser which is great
for improving soil quality And best of all itrsquos easy to do
1 Choose the SiteThe ideal location for compost has
good drainage and is well shaded 2 What to compost Compost is a mix of different
materials - Nitrogen rich kitchen organics
such as fruit and vegetable peelings green garden organics such as fresh grass clippings green leaves and weeds and manure
- Nitrogen poor brown garden or-ganics such as dry leaves woody twigs paper and straw
3 LayeringTo build the compost start with a
thick layer (15cm) of twigs or coarse mulch at the base for drainage Then follow the easy A B C formula to build a heap layer upon layer
A Thin layer of kitchen organics and green garden organics
B Cover with a layer of brown gar-den organics ensuring no food waste is left exposed
C Moisten well Then repeat steps A B amp C
4 Maintaining your compost It is important to add air to the com-
post so it doesnrsquot smell This can be done by regularly turning it with a gar-den fork or by placing garden stakes or pipes through the heap to allow air in
Common Compost Problems Composting is like baking a cake
ndash sometimes the recipe doesnrsquot work or the cake wonrsquot rise
However composting is a natu-ral process so it doesnrsquot take much to work out the problem and to fix it Some common problems and solu-tions are listed below
bull Smelly Compost Your compost will start to smell if it gets too wet or if there is not enough air in the heap Fix It Add dry leaves or garden mulch and turn the compost to get more air
through the heap Garden lime dolo-mite or woodfire ash will also help to eliminate the smell Ensure there are sticks to create a lsquofloorrsquo to ensure good drainage
bull Slow maturing compost Your compost doesnrsquot break down quick enough to keep up with your needs Fix It Adding nitrogen-rich material such as kitchen organics and green garden organics can speed up the composting process Turn the heap often and make sure your compost is moist
bull unwelcome Visitors Ants cock-roaches mice or rats can sometimes find there way into your compost and make it their home Fix It Always en-sure the food heap is covered with a layer of green organics ndash then cover the heap with hessian Turning the heap regularly discourages the ants and cockroaches and placing fine wire under the compost bin will help keep out mice and rats
HINT Avoid placing meat or dairy products in your compost
HINT Adding some soil into your compost heap will introduce the micro-organisms that break down food waste and help minimize odours

Should Wilkins sentence include a flogging he will be taken to the Corps hospital next to the court to be patched up
Amongst their duties on the day the Marines will challenge along with other teams from the district the win-ners of last yearrsquos Leg Pull competi-tion ldquoA great effort is being made to acquaint children with local history with the help of the Marinesrsquo re-enact-ments You could describe it as a day of learning and funrdquo said Craig Wern-er President of the Nepean District Historical Society
There will be a host of activities for children of all ages Trampoline Bun-gee Jumping Thomas the Tank En-gine face painting the ever popular old fashioned school room games merry-go-round animals to cuddle and a jumping castle

Poisoning Spike New figures from the NSW Poi-
sons Information Centre show it re-ceived more than 8000 calls regard-ing suspected paracetamol overdose last year half of them in children Unfortunately Nepean Hospital holds the dubious distinction of topping the list of calls to the Poisons Centre by hospital staff
The centre received more than 119000 calls from throughout Austral-ia last year almost 80000 from NSW 50 relating to accidental poisoning in
children ndash of these 15 were hospital-ised Of most concern is the amount of people particularly children who have ingested large doses of over-the-coun-ter medicines
ldquoMost accidental poisonings oc-cur in children younger than five with children aged between one and three most at risk in western Sydneyrdquo he said
Some helpful tipsbull Store medicines and chemicals
out of sight and reach of children at least 15 metres off the ground and in a locked child-resistant container
bull Use medicines and chemicals safely by following given instructions and return them to safe storage imme-diately after use
bull Buy products in child-resistant containers and use child-resistant locks on cupboards or cabinets bull En-sure all products are stored in their original containers and are clearly labelled
bull Be alert to household poisons out-side the home which are stored in the garage or garden shed and
bull Take extra care when the house-hold routine changes ndash when on holi-day moving house when hosting visi-tors or during times of family stress
The Poisons Information Centre can be contacted on 13 11 26 For more information go to wwwpoison-sinfonswgovau

Composting Made Easy
By turning your food and garden waste into compost you can make a difference to our environment Com-posting reduces the amount of waste you dispose into land fill as well as cre-ating a natural fertiliser which is great
for improving soil quality And best of all itrsquos easy to do
1 Choose the SiteThe ideal location for compost has
good drainage and is well shaded 2 What to compost Compost is a mix of different
materials - Nitrogen rich kitchen organics
such as fruit and vegetable peelings green garden organics such as fresh grass clippings green leaves and weeds and manure
- Nitrogen poor brown garden or-ganics such as dry leaves woody twigs paper and straw
3 LayeringTo build the compost start with a
thick layer (15cm) of twigs or coarse mulch at the base for drainage Then follow the easy A B C formula to build a heap layer upon layer
A Thin layer of kitchen organics and green garden organics
B Cover with a layer of brown gar-den organics ensuring no food waste is left exposed
C Moisten well Then repeat steps A B amp C
4 Maintaining your compost It is important to add air to the com-
post so it doesnrsquot smell This can be done by regularly turning it with a gar-den fork or by placing garden stakes or pipes through the heap to allow air in

bull Smelly Compost Your compost will start to smell if it gets too wet or if there is not enough air in the heap Fix It Add dry leaves or garden mulch and turn the compost to get more air
through the heap Garden lime dolo-mite or woodfire ash will also help to eliminate the smell Ensure there are sticks to create a lsquofloorrsquo to ensure good drainage
bull Slow maturing compost Your compost doesnrsquot break down quick enough to keep up with your needs Fix It Adding nitrogen-rich material such as kitchen organics and green garden organics can speed up the composting process Turn the heap often and make sure your compost is moist
bull unwelcome Visitors Ants cock-roaches mice or rats can sometimes find there way into your compost and make it their home Fix It Always en-sure the food heap is covered with a layer of green organics ndash then cover the heap with hessian Turning the heap regularly discourages the ants and cockroaches and placing fine wire under the compost bin will help keep out mice and rats
