L ocals are being encouraged to reduce, re-use and rec ycle during National Recycle Week f rom M onday, No vember 11 un til Sunday, November 17.

Mayor of Marrickv ille Jo Haylen said tha t Mar-rickville Counc il is commi tted to w orking w ith the community towards zero waste.

“I want our communi ty to be as sustainable as possible. Our residents are very good at using the kerbside recycling system, and Council is very ef-ficient at managing the huge volumes of material that is put out for collection every week,” she said.

“We also know need to do more to reduce the amount of rubbish we produce. That’s why Coun-cil started a communi ty conversation about ho w much ‘stuff’ we have and the best wa ys of reus-ing, recovering and rec ycling. We w ant to mo ve towards zero waste!

“Together w e c an chan ge the wa y w e li ve to make our community more sustainable.”

Council’s hug ely popular H ousehold Chemic al and e-Waste Drop- Off Days are amon g S ydney’s oldest and most popular chemic al and electronic

waste collection services. Last year 702 residents dropped off 15. 8 tonnes

of chemic als, and 31. 3 tonnes of e- waste – all of which was rec ycled and di verted f rom landfill free of char ge. The messag e f rom the Ma yor is residents can have their rubbish collected free of charge from Council.

“Council pro vides these ser vices to help o ver-come the issue of illegal dumpin g. Wh y dump your waste when we collect it for free? Let Council recycle your unwanted metal g oods or ma ttress-

es,” she said. “I hope ev eryone in Marrickv ille embraces Na-

tional Recycling Week and does at least one thing to mark the week. The more we recycle, the great-er the environmental benefit.”

Council’s next Household Chemical and e-Waste Drop Off Da y is S aturday, November 9 f rom 9am until 2.30pm, at Council’s Works Depot at St P e-ters (entry v ia B olton S treet, p arallel t o t he ra il-way tracks) and exit via Unwins Bridge Road as a left hand turn only.

Tragic death of Brazilian man after CBD bashing

EDITOR'S DESK

NSW Transport Minister has plenty of questions to answer

If m y dri ve home from w ork lasts lon ger than one song on my iPod, I know something has gone wrong.

Yes, I am one of the lucky ones who w orks and lives in the same suburb.

Tens of thousands of people, however, travel away travel into the c ity or to the outskirts each and every day to go to work.

I used to do i t myself – my first job as a journo was in North Sydney and I used to c atch the bus from out the f ront of my place in S outh Penrith, then the train to North Sydney and of course, re-verse it on the way home.

My mother did it for decades, and my girlfriend still does i t – in fac t, she’s the personal connec-tion to knowing just how bad the rail system can be at times in regar ds to reliabili ty, over-crowd-ing, cleanliness and communication.

This week comes news that there were 98 more peak hour train c ancellations across the rail net-work in 2012-13 compared to 2011-12.

On the Inner West Line for example, there was a massive 200 per cent increase in peak train can-cellations, according to the State Opposition.

27 peak trains were cancelled in 2012-13 on the Inner West Line, compared to just nine train can-cellations in peak hour the year before.

Shadow Transport Minister , P enny Sharpe is blaming wha t she sa ys are c uts to the main te-nance budget.

“It is no surprise w e are seein g a massi ve in-crease in train cancellations when the O’Farrell Government has sacked 450 maintenance work-ers,” she said.

“Cancellations are no w a regular occ urrence for train commuters and the Transport Minis-ter needs to explain what she is doing to fix the problem.”

I sought that explanation from Transport Min-ister, Gladys B erejiklian but she was “ away this week” and m y questions w ere instead direc ted to Transport for NSW.

“99.6 per cen t of peak ser vices opera ted in the last financ ial year – only four in ev ery 1,000 services w ere c ancelled,” a Transport for NS W spokesperson said.

“Spending on maintenance, infrastructure and investing in brand new rollin g stock is inc reas-ing, with more than 55 new Waratahs now on the network.”

There’s a few Ministers I feel haven’t quite won me over yet in terms of the way they acted in Op-position two years ago, versus the way they act in Government.

Gladys Berejiklian is one of them.All the sta tistics in the w orld couldn’t tell y ou

what travelling on the rail netw ork is lik e each and every day.

Ms Berejiklian needs to legitimately try it to un-derstand the greater problems.

N othing coul d be more borin g than sitting in traffic or a slo w commute on the train on the way to work, right?

Not for Kevin McKay. The St Peters based artist uses si tting in traffic and train rides through the city as inspiration for his next paintings and artworks.

He has been working on a series of urban landscape paintings that document his daily journey through the city.

“I r espond t o p laces t hat c atch m y e ye in passing and over time become familiar landmarks,” Mr McKay said.

What most people tak e for gran ted and consider mundane and boring, Mr McKay uncovers the beauty.

He paints subjects with a sense of history such as an ol d hotel, church, or art -deco sub-station, but also finds inspira tion in

more mundane sites like an overpass, or a construction site and has ev en set up his easel on a train station platform.

In this da y and ag e commuters are pre-occupied w ith other thin gs such as iP-ods, iPads and social media to see wha t is around them.

“Too often we are so lost in our own con-cerns, or digital devices, to appreciate the landscape we pass through every day.”

The 48-year-old completed his Masters in Fine Art a t Na tional Art S chool and won a scholarship through the W illiam Fletcher Foundation to study a t The Bri t-ish School at Rome two years ago.

He said his studies of classical aqueducts in Rome helped him appreciate the beauty to be found closer to home.

His latest works were inspired by Syden-ham railwa y sta tion’s archi tecture (pic-tured left).

“The effec t of ligh t on classic al forms presented an open air c athedral demand-ing to be painted,” he said of the station.

Working in a shared studio with 30 other artists he is making headway into his craft, and w ill be sho wing his w ork titled New Work 2013 a t the Sheffer Galler y. It is lo -cated at 38 L ander Street, Darlington and will be on e xhibition f rom W ednesday, November 13-23, from 6pm to 8pm.

News in Numbers

Hundreds of people are expected to gather at memorials in the local area on November 11 to commemorate Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the armistice that ended the First World War in 1918.

This year is the 95th anniversary of the armistice and a minute’s silence will be observed at 11am in memory of those who have made the ultimate

sacrifice or suffered in armed conflicts.A tradition of Remembrance Day is

the wearing of a red poppy flower to signify the loss of life and blood shed during armed conflict. Once known as Armistice Day, after

the end of the Second World War, the Australian and British governments changed the name to Remembrance Day. Armistice Day was no longer an appropriate title for a day that would commemorate all war dead.Wherever you may be on November

11, take a moment to stop and reflect on those who fought for our country.For more information on what

Remembrance Day is all about, visit the website: www.awm.gov.au/com-memoration/remembrance.

Pets in apartments and noisy wooden floor boards are all up for discussion as the State Government seeks to change strata and community scheme laws.

The State Government has released details this week of its proposed changes to strata laws after com-mencing a review by Fair Trading in December 2011.

“Strata touches the lives of millions of people in NSW,” Fair Trading Minis-ter Anthony Roberts said.

“Today, there are more than 72,000 strata schemes in New South Wales, and it is estimated that more than 30 per cent of the state’s population live or work in strata."

One of the planned major overhauls

is to introduce technology as an option for managing strata communities.

The State Government is proposing

to give owners corporations the flex-ibility to use teleconferencing and on-line tools to hold meetings and vote on motions. More: www.fairtrading.nsw.gov.au/ftw/Tenants_and_home_own-ers/Strata_schemes.page.

S peculation was rife some w eeks that the M ember for Marrickv ille Carmel T ebbutt w ould resign from her post, but the controversy

came to a head last Sunday when she an-nounced she would not contest the state election in 2015.

Having tol d the Inner Cit y W eekender only days earlier that she would not be re-signing from her role as Marrickv ille MP, Ms Tebbutt seemingly reversed the dec i-sion, and made it official on Sunday.

She has written to the Labor Party mem-bers in the Marrickville electorate inform-ing them she would not contest the March 2015 elec tion and said she was gra teful to them for their support throughout her long tenure.

“It has been a pri vilege to represen t the people of Marrickville in the NSW Parliament

and to serve as Deputy Premier,” she said.Ms Tebbutt said one of her c areer high-

lights was winning the by-election of 2005 after resigning in that year and was tak en

aback by the support f rom the electorate. “It was a hug e honour for the loc al con-stituents to want me to represent them,” she said.

Over a period of 15 years Ms Tebbutt has held quite a ran ge of portfolio s including Juvenile Justice, Community and Disabil-ity Services, Education, Environment and Health.

Amongst her achievements are:• Delivering the benefi ts of Na tional

Health Reform to hospitals across New South Wales

• A wages agreement for NS W teachers achieved without industrial disputa-tion for the first time in decades.

• An additional $1 billion for chil d pro -tection ser vices w ith a new foc us on early intervention.

• Overseeing the introduction of youth justice conferencing.

• Extending the light rail to Dulwich Hill.Although the Member for Marrickville is

retiring she has plans to con tinue being a part of the community.

“Having been a part of this di verse com-munity for such a long time, I want to con-tinue being part of i t and ac tively making contributions in it,” she said.

Ms Tebbutt said she still had a lon g way to go before she bowed out of politics and didn’t consider wha t she migh t pursue after that. Although, she ad ded, “I would like to be in volved with child and family services or education”.

Wallet stolen whilst woman unloaded groceries from car

On Saturday, November 2, at about 3.40pm a female was unloading groceries from her car. When returning to her car she has observed a male walking away from the car’s location. On checking, the woman has noted that her wallet was no longer in the car.

She immediately followed the male along Corunna Road towards Northum-berland Ave, Stanmore. Moments later the male has run off – he was last seen head-ing towards Stanmore McDonald’s.

The male was described as Caucasian appearance, mid 40’s, with black shoulder length hair wearing a pink T Shirt.

Anyone with information about this in-cident is urged to contact the Marrickville Local Area Command on 9568 9299.

Police officer assaulted in brawl at Enmore

A man has been charged after allegedly assaulting a police officer during a brawl at Enmore. Shortly after midnight on Sun-day, November 3, police from Newtown Local Area Command attended Pemmell Lane, following reports of a brawl.

Upon arrival, police located a number of people fighting and attempted to inter-vene. During the brawl, a man allegedly punched a male police officer in the face, before further assaulting the officer.

A 34-year-old man was arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station, where he was charged with 'assault police officer in execution of duty cause actual bodily harm'. He was given strict bail conditions to appear at Newtown Local Court on Thursday, November 28.

Police catch driver trying to evade breath test

About 4.40pm on Sunday, November 3, police were patrolling along Livingstone Road, Marrickville. During this time they observed a vehicle turn suddenly into Pile Street, Marrickville.

Police followed the vehicle and directed the driver to stop. The driver was spoken to by police and subjected to a random breath test. The driver returned a positive reading and was arrested and taken to Newtown Police Station.

Whilst at the station the driver under-took a Breath Analysis and returned a high range reading.

The driver is now due to face Newtown Local Court.

Warning to residents after spate of theft incidents

Marrickville Police have been experienc-ing an increase in houses being broken into where electronic devices, car keys and other personal property that is being left out and visible is being stolen.

Offenders are then using the stolen car keys to steal the home owner’s vehicle from the garage or driveway.

Police suggest home owners ensure all doors and a window are locked; do not leave valuables within sight of windows and doors; and do not leave valuables, particularly car keys, lying on the kitchen bench or on hall stands. Conceal property that may be of value so that it is not an easy target.

S tephanie Rice is set to star alon g-side the Minions from ‘Despicable Me 2’ in a new national sun safety campaign.

Universal S ony P ictures H ome En ter-tainment ha ve partnered w ith Ms Rice who is the Melanoma Foundation ambas-sador and Olympic Swimmer to create the campaign aimed at reducing melanoma.

It has been established to pro vide easy-to-understand tips to A ustralian kids to ensure they are protec ted from the sun ’s harmful rays.

It is estima ted tha t there ha ve been 124,910 new c ases of c ancer diagnosed in Australia this year alone and that number is e xpected to rise to 150 ,000 new c ases per year by 2020.

age, but the number of skin c ancer cases continues to rise,” Ms Rice said.

“While most campaigns put the onus on parents, I’ve teamed up with the adorable Minions to speak direc tly to kids, usin g

characters to help deli ver this importan t message in a wa y tha t kids w ill find fun and memorable.”

Ms Rice and the Minions, lovable charac-ters from the well-known children’s mov-

ie ‘Despicable Me 2’ are featured together in a short video where together they dem-onstrate sun safety procedures in an easy-to-understand format.

The video explains Ms Rice ’s “top-five” tips for k eeping safe in the sun usin g a mixture of animation and live action.

Using sun protection like sunscreen, hats and sunglasses are detailed in the short film as w ell as recommendin g that kids spend more time in the shade and drink plenty of fluids.

“We are delighted to work with Steph-anie Rice to educ ate chil dren about sun safety, and to arm them w ith prac tical skills to help them sta y safe,” said Jim Batchelor, Managing Director at Universal Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

“Using the Minions to help deli ver this message means we are educating kids, but not takin g the fun out of bein g outside, enjoying the beautiful summer weather.”

The M elanoma F oundation was estab-lished in 1984 as a chari table foundation of the University of Sydney, with the ulti-mate goal of finding a cure for melanoma with experienced researchers at the fore.

NSW Treasurer Mike Baird said he was encouraged b y the ad ditional 3, 800 jobs created in NS W in the prev ious mon th, as revealed in the latest ABS Labour Force figures released yesterday.

Mr Baird noted the rise in the unemploy-ment rate from 5.6 per cent to 5.9 per cent

in the previous month.“While i t’s concernin g to see tha t the

unemployment ra te has edg ed up this month, we are encourag ed that NSW still holds the second lo west unemplo yment rate in na tion, alon gside V ictoria and Queensland,” Mr Baird said.

“It’s clear tha t the NS W economy is still facing signific ant economic headw inds. The political uncertainty that dominated much of this y ear has had a real and last -ing impact. This, combined w ith ongoing global economic uncertainty, continues to inhibit business confidence.

NSW P remier B arry O ’Farrell h as an-nounced legislation will be introduced to Parliamen t to gi ve police clear and effective arrest po wers to protec t the community. The k ey c hanges t o t he L aw E nforce-ment (Powers and Responsibilities) Act clarify police arrests powers:• t o p reserve t he s afety o r w elfare o f any person, includin g the person ar-rested;• to obtain property in the possession of the person tha t is connec ted w ith the offence;• make enquiries to establish a person’s identity if it is suspected to be false;• fleeing from police or f rom the loc a-tion of a suspected offence.

Marrickville Counc il’s Librar y and History S ervices ha ve been a warded a $4,000 federal Community Heritage Grant to fund a preser vation needs as-sessment.

As part of the gran t fundin g, a Mar-rickville Counc il staff member w ill at-tend an intensive three-day workshop in preservation and collection manage-ment at the National Library of Austral-ia, the Na tional Archi ves of A ustralia, the National Museum of A ustralia and the National Film and Sound Archive in Canberra.

The Mayor of Marrickv ille Jo Haylen said the gran t and w orkshop trainin g was c rucial in helpin g to preser ve the Marrickville History Collection.

Health Minister Jillian Skinner joined Prime Minister T ony Abbot t and F ed-eral Health Minister Peter Dutton in of-ficially opening the Chris O’Brien Life-house this week.

The $260 million c ancer trea tment and research buil ding on Missenden Road at Camperdown is named in hon-our of the la te Professor Chris O’Brien, a leadin g sur geon who succ umbed to a brain tumour in 2009. Professor O’Brien’s w idow, Gail, and their chil-dren were guests at the ceremony.

“The agreement for the transfer and operation of cancer services from Roy-al P rince Alf red H ospital to the Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is unique – the first agreement of its kind in Australia,” Mrs Skinner said.

The Chris O’Brien Lifehouse is a not -for-profit benev olent insti tution tha t will trea t public and pri vate pa tients. The NS W G overnment w ill purchase cancer services for public patients from Lifehouse for $16.7 million each year.

“It’s all about working together to help spread the message that if we don’t preserve our history now, it could be lost forever” – Jo Haylen

Sydney and surrounding areas switch on 3 December 2013*

The analog TV switch off is happening on 3 December 2013*– and there’s no turning back.

After this date you won’t see anything if you’re not ready for digital-only TV.

What do I have to do?

Remember, to keep watching free-to-air TV shows, you’ll need either:

• one set-top box or a digital TV recorder for each analog TV you use; or

• a new TV with a built-in digital tuner.

Most importantly, you do not have to buy a new TV if you do not want to.

Most antennas and cabling should work after the digital switchover. However, if you

have any concerns about your reception, you may consider asking an endorsed Antenna

Installer to check your antenna and cabling.

If you have any other questions, or to find your nearest endorsed Antenna Installer,

visit our website or call the Digital Ready Information Line.

Don’t put it off any longer. Get ready for digital TV today.

The final countdown to digital-only TV has begun!

*Please note: switch off may occur earlier in some towns. Residents in these towns will be informed about

the switchover dates. See the website for more information.

For the past mon th I have been checking the letter box reli-giously, every time hopin g that a spec ial package I had been waiting for would be inside; the month-long wait was unbear-able.

You may be w ondering why this packag e was so differen t, and so to answer that, we will have to rewind a month to when I first discovered the wonders of the ‘Beauty Box’.

My sister e xcitedly c alled me o ver to the computer after stumbling ac ross a w ebsite claimin g to send y ou fi ve to six beauty samples a month, with every month’s box a surprise.

Of all the thin gs I lo ve in this w orld, samples are in the top 10 – they may be small but they open up a world of cosmetic products that you never would have thought to try.

The idea of bein g sent surprise samples f rom a selec tion of thousands of companies was just too good to turn down so for $19.95 we signed up for our first mon th of B eauty Box good-ness.

The brand w e chose, which was both cheap and had g ood feedback, was ‘Lust Have It’ and for the next month, we wait-ed.

This week the wait was over. My sister and I opened the box together and pulled out our samples one by one, testing them as we went. Inside the ( very c ute) box we had a mixture of makeup, tanning products, skin care and hair products.

We pulled out a sample-sized L e T an W ash Off c an first, spraying it on our arms and mar velling at the na tural colour and the con venience of the produc t – defini tely one tha t we decided we would purchase later.

We then had a look a t a couple of Paula ’s Choice produc ts; Oil Blotting Papers and a full-size E arth Sourced Purely Natu-ral Refreshing Toner. The Inika Vegan Lip Whip in ‘Very Berry’ was next, something that I w ould also g o out of m y way to purchase later – the colour was perfect!

Both of us were very excited to discover we had a Femme Fa-tale Mineral Based Eye Shadow, which proved to be long last-ing and finally we opened up the bottle of Klorane Shampoo with Nettle. This was a great purchase and I can’t wait for next month’s box.

Health starts even before birth and a new blood test for pre-eclampsia, a sev ere pregnanc y complic ation link ed to high blood pressure, could save hundreds of babies’ lives a year. Findings w ere published in the American Heart Assoc iation Journal with researchers say ing a new bedside test c an give a results in 15 minutes and is able to iden tify 96 per cen t of pregnant women at high risk of the condition.

It was developed by British scientists who studied a group of 625 pregnant women from across the UK, 61 per cent of whom were affec ted b y pre- eclampsia. The condi tion c an dama ge the kidneys, li ver and brain and lead to prema ture delivery, low birthweight babies and stillbirths.

“The test is designed to differen tiate w omen w ith pre- ec-lampsia from those with high blood pressure alone,” Dr Lucy Chappell, senior lec turer in obstetric s at King’s College Lon-don, said.

“Current tests for the condition only detect that it is happen-ing rather than predicting it and, by that time, the disease has progressed and has likely already caused organ damage.”

Pre-eclampsia affec ts one in 10 UK pregnanc ies, and be-tween one per cent and two per cent of pregnant women suf-fer severe symptoms. It usually strikes during the second half of pregnancy, or soon after a baby is born.

Besides high blood pressure, other symptoms include f luid retention, severe headache and v ision problems. In v ery se-vere cases, pre-eclampsia may cause fits that are life-threat-ening to mother and bab y. Each year, the condi tion leads to the deaths of around six or seven women and 1,000 babies in the UK.

The team from Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College found that women with low levels of pro-tein placental growth factor (PIGF) were very likely to develop pre-eclampsia.

Currently the only cure for severe pre-eclampsia is to deliver the baby, regardless of how advanced the pregnancy is. I hope this new test can reduce that rate.

HEALTH

As w e head in to summer , the spik e in new pupp y and ki tten arri vals in to households in our area is startin g to occur. If y ou have recently acquired a puppy or kitten, here are some tips for you to consider.

NutritionMost dogs complete their gro wing by

age one or two years and it is important to consider this when feeding your pet.

Puppies and ki ttens need a much higher a mount o f c alcium r elative t o phosphorous in their diet to support the healthy, normal growth of bones.

Feeding a w ell-balanced dr y pet food ( generally supermark et quali ty

foods are poorer than those you can buy from a pet store or vet) will see your pet getting the right amount of calcium and phosphorous. In healthy animals, supplementing with milk is usually not necessary, and an e xcess amount can even cause diarrhoea. If you have got a kitten at home, its especially im-portant to feed a variety of foods to prevent fussiness.

TrainingBy setting the rules from the beginning and performing basic

obedience, training your puppy or kitten from early on can be a rewarding experience for y ou and y our pet. F rom the v ery first day, spend 5-10 minutes training your dog to sit on com-mand or cat to come when called.

SocialisationIn all the e xcitement of the family pla ying with the new ar-

rival, many people overlook this important area of puppy and kitten development. One w eek after the final vacc ination, it is time to get your pet interacting with as many new environ-ments and other creatures as possible. This w ill help to make them more balanced as they g et older and e xperience fewer behavioural issues such as anxiety and aggression.

Album's a new chapter for songwriter Damien Leith

After bursting onto the music scene seven years ago, sing-er-songwriter Damien Leith has released multiple plati-num selling albums includ-

ing ‘Roy’, a tribute album to Roy Orbison.Now the ‘Australian Idol’ winner is back

with a new album, ‘ Chapter Seven’, and a national tour, which w ill see him pla y at the Clarendon Guesthouse in Katoomba.

‘Chapter S even’ marks the first inde-pendent album for L eith, who produced most of the album in his o wn studio . Working independently meant that there was no loomin g deadline, so L eith was able to spend as long as he needed on each song.

“How much time I wan ted to spend on a partic ular song was en tirely in my cor-ner, and even the timeline was up to me as well,” Leith said.

“It just was grea t, it was v ery c reative. I could spend a lot of time on each song.”

He has teamed up with Social Family Re-cords, an independen t label, to public ise and distribute the album.

A notable e xperience tha t c ame alon g with the new album was the opportuni ty to w ork w ith J oe M elson, who is kno wn for writing Roy Orbison’s ‘Only the Lone-ly’ and ‘Crying’.

“The two [Joe Melson songs] that are on the album w ere both wri tten v ia Skype,

Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the festi-val would provide loc als and v isitors the opportunity to e xperience wha t S ydney has to offer with a variety of gourmet fare and great entertainment.

She said the occasion would give emerg-ing performers the chance to sho wcase their talent, which offered a great day out for the family.

which is mad. It was over a lot of time, we do about three hour sessions a t a time and some of the songs we worked on for weeks,” Leith said.

“We ha ve about 14 other son gs, which w e’ve written in Nashville on different trips. The good thing with

Joe Melson is this is the first time he ’s released an y son gs since R oy passed away, so it’s a real big honour for me to have these songs on the album.”

Leith has nothing but admiration for Melson, saying that his o wn personal songwriting has impro ved just f rom

spending time with him. ‘Chapter S even’ c an be desc ribed as a

positive album, promotin g the idea tha t things will get better, which is the theme throughout the whole album.

“The sound definitely has a much more organic, acoustic sort of sound. I tried to make it as real as possible all the wa y through. I’ve really tried to g o for a more earthy sort of sound,” Leith said.

“Overall, i t’s qui te an acoustic album, not folky and not stripped back, but just a real acoustic sound. I’ ve tried to mak e it sound as much lik e something that five people could go into a room, sit down with all the g ear and just reproduce the whole lot, so I tried to mak e it as much lik e that as possible.”

This acoustic, posi tive direc tion c an be a ttributed to Damien ’s independen t move, which inspired him to learn new techniques for production.

“I was going online a lot and I was finding out about how to record massive amounts of harmonies and thin gs lik e tha t. Then from learning that I started put ting those into the songs,” he said.

“That is a theme tha t r uns through the album as w ell, big harmon y momen ts, kind of chan ts and tha t sort of big sound that pops in and pops out of the album.”

‘Chapter Seven’ is available to order on-line w ith a choice of three packs, which can include a signed copy of the CD.

Damien L eith w ill be pla ying a t The Basement in Sydney on Saturday, Decem-ber 14. Call 9251 2797.

CHATTERON THE BOX

Channel Ten’s two new morning programs

kicked off this week, ‘Wake Up’ and ‘Studio 10’, and I was somewhat impressed. Obviously it’s going to take time for people to get used to the new shows but if they both keep pumping out some interesting content then it shouldn’t take long before results are seen across the breakfast market.

Channel Nine are again in my bad books, this

time for their unnecessarily long one-hour 6pm News. Nine made the switch to the one-hour News format a few weeks ago when the Blue Mountains bushfires struck, which was probably a good idea at the time, but more than three weeks later it’s still going, forcing shows like ‘Big Brother’ to play on delay.

With ‘How I Met Your Mother’ finishing

up next year, there’s some chatter the hit comedy could produce a spin-off series. It’s been reported that the show would feature a new group of friends and chronicle a fe-male member of the group’s quest to meet her husband.

2UE radio host and Sky News presenter Paul

Murray has signed a new long-term deal with the news network. It’s understood Murray will take on a bigger role at Sky News in 2014. Murray currently hosts the successful ‘Paul Murray Live’ each weeknight.

Foxtel is set to revamp its music channels

come December 3. Two new MTV channels, MTV Dance and MTV Music, will replace the outdated MTV Classic, MTV Hits and MTV Live. The new MTV Dance will feature dance, hip hop and RnB while MTV Music will feature pop, rock, urban and alternative.

The ABC is set to air a four-part interview

series between Kerry O’Brien and former Prime Minister Paul Keating. The intriguing and insightful interviews are set air weekly from Tuesday, November 12 at 8.30pm. It is understood Keating opens up about a lot of interesting and conroversial topics.

Josh goes Lone Wolf

MTV Dance

Foxtel – MTVDecember 3

One of A ustralia’s most loved musicians Josh Pyke, will be accompan ying his acoustic guitar around the country once again on his

solo tour , profic iently named the ‘L oan Wolf Tour,’ commencing in early 2014.

Following the release of his fourth stu-dio album ‘ The Beginning And The End Of Everything,’ which came in at number seven on the ARIA albums chart, he re-ceived a recen t ARIA a ward nomination for the Best Adult Contemporary Release, and a near sold out album tour.

On the ‘L oan Wolf Tour’ Josh will visit major c ities, pla ying his stripped-back solo set a t some of the coun try’s most iconic and intimate venues, finishing the tour in Canberra.

To coinc ide w ith this announcemen t is the release of ‘ The Beginning And The End Of Everything’ title track, another beautiful selection lifted from the record.

Written whilst touring ‘Only Sparrows’, Josh found the writing process for his next album c ame w ith much w elcomed fluidity and ease.

Josh said: “‘The Beginning And The End Of Everything’ is the first song I wrote for the new recor d, when I’d completed i t, I

felt surprised that in fact the very thing I feared enough to write a song about, had vanished, even as I was referring to it in a song – more irony.”

Josh P yke w ill perform a t The F actory Theatre, Marrickville on Saturday, Febru-ary 22, 2014 at 8pm.

Tickets range from $35-$45 and go on sale Monday, November 11.

T here are two sure signs that sum-mer is on i ts way: squatting flies and the boomin g sound of c ica-das. It also means the cricket sea-

son is here.For local team, Marrickville Cricket Club,

which boasts 13 teams from under nine years to seniors, and for the first time fielding a team of girls f rom ages nine to 15 in the Sydney Rivers Girls Cricket Asso-ciation, the fun has been… on the pitch as well as off it too!

Last mon th the Marrickv ille J uniors went alon g to the R yobi Cup ma tch a t Bankstown Oval to watch NSW and Victo-ria play. They took part in a promotion run by Cricket NSW that saw 30 of them tak e part in an e xhibition in the mid dle of the ground during the lunch break.

Cricket Club Vice President Antony Sachs said not only was it a great opportunity for the children to show off their skills, but to mix it with the best.

“The chil dren g ot to r ub shoul ders with established in ternationals like Steve Smith, D oug B ollinger and Da ve Warner, and rising talent Fawad Ahmed,” he said.

Great fun off the pitch

was an eye opener for them.“The boys and girls got to see behind the

scenes of a telev ision shoot and r ubbed shoulders w ith the S ydney Thunder BBL stars including Thunder and SpeedBlitz Blues fast bo wler Gurinder S andhu,” Mr

Kennedy said.Mr S achs said the stren gth of the jun-

E xpectations are high for women’s foot-ball after the launch of the W-League in Sydney on Monday.

Now in its sixth season, the W-League promises to showcase an exciting brand of foot-ball w ith the ad dition of a number of in terna-tional players in this year’s competition.

All eight teams were represented at the season launch w ith the tw o S ydney teams confiden t they were in for a good showing this season.

Sydney F C strik er and Y oung Ma tildas U20 ’s captain Chloe L ogarzo, who is pla ying in her third season, said this year will be tougher than last year.

“Last season i t was pret ty har d and i t was a good hi t out, this season sounds lik e i t’s even better and so I’m looking forward to it with eve-ry team being equal,” she said.

She said the feeling of fans screaming and sup-porting the team is o verwhelming, and spurs

There are hopes the w omen’s game w ill be part of the bigger picture to establish soccer as a leading sport in Australia.
