New home for SESEight years later, but Council agrees to re-home volunteers

Marrickville’s SES volunteers will be given a new home after local councillors

moved to make provisions in the 2012-13 budget for the unit’s relocation.

At Tuesday night’s meeting, Councillors agreed on the Sydenham

Green site for the new headquarters, pending the results of geotechnical and contamination studies.

! e decision was welcomed by the 60-strong band of SES volunteers in the public gallery.

Mike Carney, Volunteer Controller of the Marrickville SES, implored the Council to make a decision on the issue, eight years after it " rst came before Council.

“Over the past eight years we have worked with Council to relocate the unit, as the unit has outgrown its premises,” Mr Carney said.

“It’s become increasingly di# cult in our cramped facility…we are asking Council to make a decision to allow the matter to be resolved.”

Cr Mary O’Sullivan noted that Marrickville was a “de facto coastal

Council”, citing the impact on residents of the March 8 $ ooding, and urged Councillors to support the improved facility for the ongoing safety of the community.

Cr O’Sullivan also said she believed the new unit would be a “great addition to Sydenham”.

Cr Victor Macri said it was “embarrassing” that Council had not resolved the issue after eight years.

Marrickville’s SES volunteers will get a new home.

It’s rare to say that people ! nd career inspiration in their backyard shed, but that’s what happened to me as a child.

Hanging in our rickety old shed was a single item of torn and faded clothing that I simply adored… my grandfather’s " ying suit from his time as an RAAF pilot during World War II.

Married to his beautiful young wife Kathleen, and with a growing family at home, Alexander Steinfort, the man I would simply come to know as Pa, dropped everything to serve his country.

Many were bemused that someone with a German name would be signing up to ! ght for Australia – but you only needed to see the glint in his eye to know he was fair dinkum.

Pa had three great loves: his wife, his country, and the Richmond Football Club.

He never told me the exact order of those, but I highly suspect that at times Kathleen wasn’t top of the pops.

Pa trained as a pilot with the RAAF, but never saw battle – and I didn’t learn of Pa’s exploits in the Air Force until I discovered his " ying suit by chance one afternoon.

# e out ! t is best described as a khaki zip-up jumpsuit, with a small RAAF badge – sounds unimpressive, but to the imaginative mind of a seven-year-old it was amazing to think about where it had been, and the thrill of " ying an aeroplane.

I loved it and was told repeatedly not to try to put it on, much to my chagrin.

But when Pa found out I was interested in joining the Air Force, his eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.

I think he envisaged me picking up where he left o$ – he seemed disappointed he never got to take on the Japanese (he simply called them ‘the Japs’ in that mildly racist way that only former servicemen could get away with).

But any plans I had to join the RAAF were shot to pieces when I hit a major growth spurt at 16, and was told I would be too tall to ! t in

a ! ghter jet.Oh the irony, it was Pa’s athletic

genes that cost me the chance to join his beloved RAAF – I’m pretty sure he was even more disappointed than me.

Sadly, Pa passed away four years ago, and I still think about him a lot.

His birthday, August 31, is an important date, but I still ! nd April 25 a day that resonates even more for me.

When I stand at the Dawn Service, I think of Pa – and then I think of the families of our current servicemen and imagine how much more of an emotional day it must be for them.

# ose young servicemen, like Alexander Steinfort some 70 years ago, are on deployment in Afghanistan or other dangerous locations because they love their country.

It’s an amazing sacri! ce made for us by courageous men and women.

Just like my Pa.

A screening mammogram can detect the early signs of breast cancer and doctors say the best time to treat it is when it’s very small. So when the BreastScreen NSW mobile van comes to

Marrickville this month, schedule a visit.

Women aged 40 and over living in the inner west are invited to receive a free mammogram by visiting the

BreastScreen NSW mobile van at Marrickville Metro Shopping Centre from April 23.

BreastScreen NSW Sydney Local Health District (SLHD) Acting Director, Genevieve Wallace, said now was the perfect time for eligible women to take advantage of this important health check.

“20 minutes of your time is important to ensure you remain healthy for you and your family,” Ms Wallace said.

“It is important to remember that mammograms can locate cancers as small as a pea and are potentially life-saving.

“Without screening, cancers are more likely to be noticed when they are much more advanced – at around the size of a small cherry.”

BreastScreen is a quality screening service that ensures two specially-trained doctors independently examine each woman’s x-rays.

For an appointment at the BreastScreen NSW mobile van at Marrickville Metro or at BreastScreen’s other convenient locations, call 13 20 50.

Police and ambulance services were called to Marrickville Railway

Station on Friday afternoon following an incident where a woman was struck by a train.

About 20 police o! cers arrived at the scene shortly after the incident occurred at 1.45pm and closed o" the station to commuters.

All trains at the station

were emptied, and services between Sydenham and Campsie were suspended while the emergency teams assisted the woman.

A CityRail employee said the woman had been standing on the platform when she was struck by an incoming train. A number of shocked witnesses were led away from the scene by friends.

# e woman was taken to hospital with suspected leg and arm injuries and is

believed to be in a stable condition.

During the afternoon, commuters were forced to take the inner west line instead, or catch special buses that were running to replace train services.

# e intersection of Illawarra Road and Warburton Street was also closed northbound for a period of time, with police directing tra! c and pedestrians around the station.

Transport Master Plan.“We’re asking people to tell

the government how important it is to build the GreenWay,” said spokesperson, Liz Locksley.

“We also want to make sure the GreenWay is included in the master plan, so that it’s taken into account and so that there’s no excuses.”! e discussion paper examines

key transport issues, challenges and opportunities for Sydney.

Public feedback will be incorporated into a draft NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan, to be released mid-year, with the $ nal plan due for completion in November.

Small business has largely been overlooked in the Federal Government’s $1 billion clean-technology grants package because most SMEs fall short of the energy use thresholds. " e package, unveiled by Industry

and Innovation Minister Greg Combet recently, aims to boost capital investment across the manufacturing sector as companies use the grants to buy new plant equipment to reduce their carbon footprint. " e lion’s share of the Clean

Technology Investment Program, $800 million, will be reserved for general manufacturers who exceed de# ned annual energy consumer thresholds. " e government has announced it will match eligible manufacturers on a dollar-for-dollar basis and this, combined with the high Australian dollar, will mean that companies looking to import equipment could be paying about one third of the price they would have otherwise been paying. But small operators will have to be big emitters to qualify and most won’t fall into this category.

For many SMEs seeking federal and state grants, emission thresholds might not be the biggest barrier to support.

Some owners can’t always a! ord to allocate precious resources to securing grants.

Although the ! nancial picture becomes clearer every day, you

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

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

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

Your popularity is glowing even more brightly than usual among

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

It looks like acquaintances are seeing the more gentle side of

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

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

Taurus, that’s the zenith point of your chart, so you are much more con! dent where professional matters are concerned. It’s a great time for putting ingenious ideas to your boss because he or she will most certainly take them on board. So push ahead with any ambitious ideas you want to present as others will look upon them favourably. You’ll be receiving at least one pat on the shoulder.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

With a New Moon in Aquarius there will be plenty of news in connection

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

Invitations from friends and neighbours are likely to come

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

Do you have a problem with gas?

Q. I often get bloated and su! er from a lot of

gas. It’s really embarrassing. What can I do?

Here are my top 10 tips for improving your digestion:

Avoid sugar, ca! eine and 1. alcohol as these alter the pH of the digestive system making it more acidic. Reduce or avoid gluten, 2. a protein found in grains such as wheat, rye, oats and barley. Gluten intolerance is common and leads to bloating, diarrhoea and constipation.Check to see if you have 3. a dairy intolerance by avoiding all dairy for two weeks and then re-introduce it and observe if your digestive symptoms " are.Eat in pleasant 4. surroundings, sitting down and enjoying your food. If you are rushed, you are more likely to eat quickly without chewing properly. Chew your food! Chewing 5. helps to break down your food, easing the burden

on your lower digestive system.Take a good quality 6. probiotic supplement each day. Try not to drink too many 7. " uids at least half an hour before a meal. # is dilutes the enzymes in your stomach and makes them less able to break down foods and absorb nutrients.Take a teaspoon of apple 8. cider vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice in a small amount of water before a meal to improve your digestion.Practice relaxation 9. techniques such as deep breathing. When we are stressed, our brain shuts down our digestive system. Eat fresh organic food as 10. it contains more nutrition and no pesticides, additives or preservatives.

Leave the $300 shoes at home

I’m not much of a runner but it’s a great feeling jogging along a quiet road in the morning watching the hills play hide and seek in the fog.

Feeling cold air hitting your face, while steam rises o! your shoulders from the heat trying to escape your body.

# ere is something very meditative about moving along in the same easy repetitive rhythm your ancestors have, for the last couple of million years.

It’s not about breaking records or getting huge distances up... just running because it feels good.

It’s amazing how many people think they’re not runners.

I think some people just forget how.

Look at any busy playground, kids run before they can write their name or draw stick $ gures.

# ere is a great book I encourage all my students to read, Born to run.

It’s a factual story about a tribe of Indians who are isolated in the canyons of Mexico where an average 50-year-old running in homemade leather sandals can compete with the rest of the world’s highest level

marathoners. It’s an amazing story that shows

it’s not hi-tech training or the gear you use, it actually shows evidence that the more expensive your shoes the more likely your chance of injury.

No shoes or old hard ones have helped a lot of people’s injuries go.

But what really makes these guys so good is they love running!

Fun and simple works best. Start slow – try searching the

internet for ‘100 ups’. It’s pretty much walking on the

spot and slowly speeding up a bit. Do it barefoot. Search ‘Harvard barefootrunning’.

Let your body remember how it used to move, start slow. # en leave the stopwatch and $300 shoes at home and head out somewhere you enjoy.

# is is the important bit. If you aren’t feeling good where your running, it’s not going to last.

Drive up to the national park, head down to the waterside at sunset, whatever works for you.

Put one goal in your head. It’s not a time or a distance and

nothing to do with speed or stride

rate. It’s really easy to remember. It’s

this: do whatever you have to do to get a smile on your face.

At any stage of your run, take in the view, listen to all the sounds, or lack of.

Feel the blood bringing your body alive.

But be careful. You might $ nd you want to keep

going!Get out there and let me know

what it’s like via email.

Hot property tipsPatience, planning and a managed budget are all you need

There’s nothing more satisfying than turning an average house into

a stunning home. Whatever your reasons for renovating, you’ll need three things: patience, planning and a well-managed budget.

A good starting point for would-be renovators is to look for a property with problems to ! x, and then add value. For example, a lack of storage and light are obvious issues crying out for improvement.

Once you’ve selected your property, the hard work begins. A lot of the time you won’t see where a problem might exist until you start. It’s a hard lesson to learn: things often take twice as long and cost twice as much than you originally thought.

Sometimes you will need to bring in the experts. Not only will it save time, it can also save you money in the long run, says the team at Renovation Boys,

Camperdown.“Our team [can] assist

you with design and colours, and provide you with a 3D rendering of how your renovation project will look, before you even start,” said Renovation manager, Tim Tokoragi.

It’s always a good idea to talk to a broad range of suppliers and tradespeople before you sign up, so you know you are getting the best possible value.

On a bigger BlockHit television series is back, and it’s tipped to be better

Australians love a home renovation, almost as much as they love

watching other people do it on TV. ! e country’s favourite renovation show, ‘! e Block’, is back for 2012 with a new bunch of contestants and the same old renovation problems.

! is season has been billed as the biggest and toughest yet. With barely a roof over their heads, no running water and dirt " oors,

this year’s teams have 10 weeks to restore one of four dilapidated 1800’s South Melbourne terraces.

“It’s the biggest block we’ve done, with four of the biggest houses and the most derelict houses I’ve ever seen,” said the show’s host, Scott Cam.

Cam says the eclectic bunch of contestants are excited about the challenge, but he knows from experience they will soon realise things

are a lot more di# cult than they imagined.

Contestants will be given a bigger budget this year of $125,000 in cash and vouchers, to re" ect the scope of the renovation work required.

Each team gets $20,000 to spend on hardware, $10,000 for " ooring, $10,000 for lighting, $20,000 for a kitchen, $5,000 for a laundry and $20,000 to spend on bathroom $ xtures and $ ttings.

THE BREAKMARRICKVILLE FESTIVAL

Locals ! ocked to Tillman Park on Sunday to support local bands and to enjoy the entertainment at " e Break

music festival.With crowd numbers up on last year's

o# ering, the 2012 event showcased a range of new local talent playing everything from

folk, rock, Latin, jazz and African-in! uenced tunes.

Death Mattel was victorious on the day, winning a slot to play at the Marrickville Festival on Sunday, October 21.

Band member, Matt Downey, said he was surprised but pleased to take out the top

prize, which came as a validation of sorts for their new line-up.

“We were genuinely surprised to win, we felt that we didn’t stand a chance against some of the other bands,” he said.

Downey said being chosen to perform at the Festival was a motivator for the group,

which is made up of Marrickville locals.Next year, " e Break will no longer

exist as a stand-alone event but will be incorporated into the Marrickville Festival.Marrickville Council has resolved to create a Tempe-Sydenham community festival for “families to enjoy”.

Now in its 23rd year, the annual Sydney Middle Eastern

Dance Festival incorporates centuries of Oriental dance and music crammed into three jammed packed days and four nights of spectacular events in May.

! e opening night Bellydance Fashion Parade and Champagne Soiree at Amera’s Palace Bellydance Boutique and Studio o" ers a fun and festive way to get into the four-day event.

A gala concert on the Friday night will feature Australia’s best dancers – Bellydance Mosaic – who will perform mesmerising dances akin to works of art.

! e Saturday night dance party, Rockin’ the Casbah, is a chance to let your hair down and have some fun. ! e Arabian Stars, Australia’s top dancers, will perform in a cabaret setting.

Sunday provides a showcase and market day with over 20 stalls of costumes, jewellery, music,

drums and accessories and live performances.

Bellydance workshops over the three days will o" er styles as diverse as Turkish Kolbasti, Egyptian Shaabi and Persian Classical, as well as sword balancing. ! ese will be held at Canterbury#Hurlstone Park RSL and Amera’s Palace

Studio, Marrickville.! e Middle Eastern

Dance Festival runs from May 3-6.

Ticket prices range from $10-$45 depending on the event.

For more information on the festival visit sydmedfest.com or email [email protected].

The secrets of the Australian landscape is the inspiration

behind a new exhibition by inner west photographer, Julia Pannell, which opens on May 2 at the Chrissie Cotter Gallery in Camperdown.

! e photos of wild$ owers and the occasional gumnut gives a closer look at the alien shapes and dreamlike patterns in Australian native wildlife.

Pannell’s images were taken at Muogamarra Reserve in Sydney’s northern outskirts, a place where she found magni% cent specimens in all their “curious, alien glory”.

“! e Muogamarra Reserve is a remarkable area of bushland known for its wonderfully rich and verdant wildlife as well as its splendid views,” Pannell said.

“! e reserve is ideal for any photographer interested in shooting the minutiae

of the Australian natural world… the wild$ owers…seem to have an intricacy and secrets all of their own.”

! e intriguing landscape has an equally impressive backstory. Access to Muogamarra is limited, meaning that the public can only visit the reserve on four weekends of the year.

! is makes the sanctuary among the most exclusive areas in Sydney and Pannell’s exhibition a revealing opportunity to look into this untouched paradise.

! e exhibition will run at the Chrissie Cotter Gallery, Pidcock Street, Camperdown, from May 3-13 from 11am-4pm.

POSITION VACANT

TIGER RUMBLINGSTroy Dodds

Fans need to pull their head in

Finally a win for the Wests Tigers but before we get too excited, let’s realise just how poorly Penrith is going at the

moment. ! ey’re in all sorts and the Tigers never really got out of second gear. ! ere’s bigger tests to come...

I’m probably just a nark but I don’t agree with stopping the NRL for a Test match and a worthless City v Country clash. Sure, it happens in a number of successful overseas sports, but to have club football o" our screens and out of our grounds for an entire weekend just seven rounds in doesn’t make sense to me, particularly when the Test is overseas and the other rep match is in country NSW.

Panthers o# cials spent hours deleting abusive comments o" social media following the 30-0 loss to the Tigers. Frustration is one thing but abusive behaviour is another and some fans need to pull their heads in.

I was surprised to see that Panthers GM Phil Gould co-commentated on the game between Penrith and Wests Tigers on Channel 9 last Sunday. It’s awkward for Penrith fans, probably frustrating for Tigers fans and just doesn’t sit well as an overall situation. No matter what circumstances led to Gus ending

up in the commentary box last Sunday, it’s an ugly look for Penrith to have the face of the game in the region giving opinion about on-$ eld performance, given he rarely talks about the on-$ eld results in his role with the Panthers. It quite simply shouldn’t happen again.

! ese days technology rules in rugby league, so use your smart phone to keep updated with the Tigers. Check out the Tigers iPhone and Android apps from the relevant smart phone app stores.

Gareth Ellis and Chris Heighington will be at the Rebel Sport Broadway store next ! ursday, April 26. ! e boys will be available from 6pm to 7pm to sign autographs and pose for photos as part of a promotion organised by our o# cial compression partner 2XU. Come along to meet the guys and sna% e a giveaway or two... some goodies from both the Wests Tigers and 2XU will be up for grabs, including match day tickets and loads more.

Apparently the Kangaroos consider our very own Benji Marshall to be a threat ahead of tonight’s Test between New Zealand and Australia. Halves Benji Marshall and Shaun Johnson should put on a good show!

YIGUAN KUNGFU ACADEMY AND CENTRE FOR QUIGONG

FOR LIFE

A new program about responsible drinking being rolled out in local sporting clubs is proving to be an

antidote to potentially irresponsible and reckless behaviour.

! e Good Sports Program, run by the Australian Drug Foundation, is a national initiative that aims to promote the responsible service and consumption of alcohol at

community sporting events. Eight local clubs have been involved in the

program since it was launched by Marrickville Council in October 2010.

! e Newtown Jets is one such club, having participated in the program since its inception. It’s now reaping the bene" ts, according to Director of Operations, Stuart McCarthy.

“We have always strived to provide a

family friendly atmosphere at ! e Newtown Jets home games,” McCarthy said.

“! e Good Sports Program reinforced the values of our club.”

Mayor of Marrickville, Morris Hanna, said the Good Sports Program helps to break the link between playing sport and drinking alcohol to excessive and unsafe levels.

“[! e program] helps improve the safety

and health of the community by reducing alcohol-related incidents such as binge and under-age drinking and drink driving,” Cr Hanna said.

Clubs that would like to be involved should register their interest with Good Sports on 9972 3160.
