Golden ArchesIrsquove been to McDonalds(TM) across Sydney Australia and in a

couple of places across the world When I go there its with the confi dence that I know what Irsquom getting I also know that no one else can put up a set of golden arches unless theyrsquore the genuine article The law enforcement agencies wonrsquot allow it

The worldrsquos religions arenrsquot like that There isnrsquot an agency that checks everyone who claims to speak for a particular religion are lsquokosherrsquo With recent events around the world done in the name of Islam I remind myself that just because someone claims to speak on behalf of a particular religion doesnrsquot mean they do or that their claims are true

Itrsquos no diff erent when it comes to the God of the Bible And Irsquom saying that as a person who claims to speak on His behalf But if a Christian leader or a Christian for that matter makes a claim how do you check it out How do you know itrsquos the genuine article

Herersquos my advice - ask these two questions First do they treat the Bible as the fi nal authority that it has the answers about what we need to know about God about ourselves and about how He has brought the two together through the Lord Jesus Christ Second does the person love others with genuine servant hearted love The answer to the second question shows whether the answer to the fi rst is just lip service

If the answer to both those questions is a provable lsquoyesrsquo yoursquove got the genuine article And if yoursquove got the genuine article donrsquot let that person or church go until yoursquove checked out how your life can be transformed as theirs has If we as a church can help you in that wersquod love to do soRev Roger Cunningham

Salt Aquariums Back Bigger and Better

Salt Aquariums have been the local aquarium store experts specialising in reef aquariums since 2008 The Emu Plains business owned by Craig and Sharon Salt sustained a tragic fi re in December 2013

The fi re started in the air-conditioning system and quickly spread throughout the whole store Whilst the building survived with the exception of the roof panels unfortunately all the stock and shop fi t was destroyed

The rebuilding process took many months of hard work and in November 2014 they reopened for business ldquoLast year was a tough year for us but wersquore back and wersquore looking forward to this yearrdquo said Sharon Salt For all your aquarium needs including fi sh coral and live rock come in and visit the newly refurbished store at Salt Aquariums

I hear from many parents who are confused about their role in raising their kids There is so much noise these days about parenting ndash from social media friends family school television Some of it is misleading and not based on the research some of it is cruel and unusual How does one make sense of it all Parents cry out ldquowe didnrsquot get an instruction manual with this kidrdquo

To which I reply ldquoyour child is the instruction manualrdquo If you listen to your child observe him or her look at the situation from where he or she is standing it all becomes a lot clearer And parenting becomes a whole lot easier

When I talk with groups of children or individual children and I ask them if they can talk to their parents about what is troubling them more often than not the children say that their parents donrsquot listen to them they dismiss them or they lecture them Unfortunately a lot of kids donrsquot see their parents as someone they can go to and feel heard and understood They donrsquot see their parents as helpful or supportive Kids tell me what their parents say to them when they try to go to them with a problem ndash ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo

When I ask parents ldquowho do you want your child to go to when he or she has a problemrdquo they always say ldquomerdquo But if you were a child and were told repeatedly ldquodonrsquot bother me with this nowrdquo or ldquoget over itrdquo or ldquoyoursquoll be fi nerdquo would you go back for more I swear that if every parent learnt to listen to their child I would be out of a job And I would happily pack shelves at a supermarket knowing that our kids are healthy (physically emotionally socially intellectually)

I know that parents donrsquot do this on purpose Every parent wants the best for their child More often than not we donrsquot listen to our kids because their big emotions are too much for us to hear So we try to jolly them up redirect them away from the pain push them to see the brighter side We think that if our children are having an emotion then itrsquos our job to toughen them up But feeling heard and understood is one of the most precious things a human can experience especially when itrsquos coming from the most important people in your lives ndash your parents or carers

The path to easier parenting is empathy ndash standing and walking in your childrsquos shoes The next step is acknowledging how they are feeling about something - hearing them out You are not always going to agree with them and you are still the parent so you make the big decisions But quite often children can surprise us with their wisdom and insight

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

Golden ArchesIrsquove been to McDonalds(TM) across Sydney Australia and in a

couple of places across the world When I go there its with the confi dence that I know what Irsquom getting I also know that no one else can put up a set of golden arches unless theyrsquore the genuine article The law enforcement agencies wonrsquot allow it

The worldrsquos religions arenrsquot like that There isnrsquot an agency that checks everyone who claims to speak for a particular religion are lsquokosherrsquo With recent events around the world done in the name of Islam I remind myself that just because someone claims to speak on behalf of a particular religion doesnrsquot mean they do or that their claims are true

Itrsquos no diff erent when it comes to the God of the Bible And Irsquom saying that as a person who claims to speak on His behalf But if a Christian leader or a Christian for that matter makes a claim how do you check it out How do you know itrsquos the genuine article

Herersquos my advice - ask these two questions First do they treat the Bible as the fi nal authority that it has the answers about what we need to know about God about ourselves and about how He has brought the two together through the Lord Jesus Christ Second does the person love others with genuine servant hearted love The answer to the second question shows whether the answer to the fi rst is just lip service

If the answer to both those questions is a provable lsquoyesrsquo yoursquove got the genuine article And if yoursquove got the genuine article donrsquot let that person or church go until yoursquove checked out how your life can be transformed as theirs has If we as a church can help you in that wersquod love to do soRev Roger Cunningham

Salt Aquariums Back Bigger and Better

Salt Aquariums have been the local aquarium store experts specialising in reef aquariums since 2008 The Emu Plains business owned by Craig and Sharon Salt sustained a tragic fi re in December 2013

The fi re started in the air-conditioning system and quickly spread throughout the whole store Whilst the building survived with the exception of the roof panels unfortunately all the stock and shop fi t was destroyed

The rebuilding process took many months of hard work and in November 2014 they reopened for business ldquoLast year was a tough year for us but wersquore back and wersquore looking forward to this yearrdquo said Sharon Salt For all your aquarium needs including fi sh coral and live rock come in and visit the newly refurbished store at Salt Aquariums

I hear from many parents who are confused about their role in raising their kids There is so much noise these days about parenting ndash from social media friends family school television Some of it is misleading and not based on the research some of it is cruel and unusual How does one make sense of it all Parents cry out ldquowe didnrsquot get an instruction manual with this kidrdquo

To which I reply ldquoyour child is the instruction manualrdquo If you listen to your child observe him or her look at the situation from where he or she is standing it all becomes a lot clearer And parenting becomes a whole lot easier

When I talk with groups of children or individual children and I ask them if they can talk to their parents about what is troubling them more often than not the children say that their parents donrsquot listen to them they dismiss them or they lecture them Unfortunately a lot of kids donrsquot see their parents as someone they can go to and feel heard and understood They donrsquot see their parents as helpful or supportive Kids tell me what their parents say to them when they try to go to them with a problem ndash ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo

When I ask parents ldquowho do you want your child to go to when he or she has a problemrdquo they always say ldquomerdquo But if you were a child and were told repeatedly ldquodonrsquot bother me with this nowrdquo or ldquoget over itrdquo or ldquoyoursquoll be fi nerdquo would you go back for more I swear that if every parent learnt to listen to their child I would be out of a job And I would happily pack shelves at a supermarket knowing that our kids are healthy (physically emotionally socially intellectually)

I know that parents donrsquot do this on purpose Every parent wants the best for their child More often than not we donrsquot listen to our kids because their big emotions are too much for us to hear So we try to jolly them up redirect them away from the pain push them to see the brighter side We think that if our children are having an emotion then itrsquos our job to toughen them up But feeling heard and understood is one of the most precious things a human can experience especially when itrsquos coming from the most important people in your lives ndash your parents or carers

The path to easier parenting is empathy ndash standing and walking in your childrsquos shoes The next step is acknowledging how they are feeling about something - hearing them out You are not always going to agree with them and you are still the parent so you make the big decisions But quite often children can surprise us with their wisdom and insight

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

Golden ArchesIrsquove been to McDonalds(TM) across Sydney Australia and in a

couple of places across the world When I go there its with the confi dence that I know what Irsquom getting I also know that no one else can put up a set of golden arches unless theyrsquore the genuine article The law enforcement agencies wonrsquot allow it

The worldrsquos religions arenrsquot like that There isnrsquot an agency that checks everyone who claims to speak for a particular religion are lsquokosherrsquo With recent events around the world done in the name of Islam I remind myself that just because someone claims to speak on behalf of a particular religion doesnrsquot mean they do or that their claims are true

Itrsquos no diff erent when it comes to the God of the Bible And Irsquom saying that as a person who claims to speak on His behalf But if a Christian leader or a Christian for that matter makes a claim how do you check it out How do you know itrsquos the genuine article

Herersquos my advice - ask these two questions First do they treat the Bible as the fi nal authority that it has the answers about what we need to know about God about ourselves and about how He has brought the two together through the Lord Jesus Christ Second does the person love others with genuine servant hearted love The answer to the second question shows whether the answer to the fi rst is just lip service

If the answer to both those questions is a provable lsquoyesrsquo yoursquove got the genuine article And if yoursquove got the genuine article donrsquot let that person or church go until yoursquove checked out how your life can be transformed as theirs has If we as a church can help you in that wersquod love to do soRev Roger Cunningham

Salt Aquariums Back Bigger and Better

Salt Aquariums have been the local aquarium store experts specialising in reef aquariums since 2008 The Emu Plains business owned by Craig and Sharon Salt sustained a tragic fi re in December 2013

The fi re started in the air-conditioning system and quickly spread throughout the whole store Whilst the building survived with the exception of the roof panels unfortunately all the stock and shop fi t was destroyed

The rebuilding process took many months of hard work and in November 2014 they reopened for business ldquoLast year was a tough year for us but wersquore back and wersquore looking forward to this yearrdquo said Sharon Salt For all your aquarium needs including fi sh coral and live rock come in and visit the newly refurbished store at Salt Aquariums

I hear from many parents who are confused about their role in raising their kids There is so much noise these days about parenting ndash from social media friends family school television Some of it is misleading and not based on the research some of it is cruel and unusual How does one make sense of it all Parents cry out ldquowe didnrsquot get an instruction manual with this kidrdquo

To which I reply ldquoyour child is the instruction manualrdquo If you listen to your child observe him or her look at the situation from where he or she is standing it all becomes a lot clearer And parenting becomes a whole lot easier

When I talk with groups of children or individual children and I ask them if they can talk to their parents about what is troubling them more often than not the children say that their parents donrsquot listen to them they dismiss them or they lecture them Unfortunately a lot of kids donrsquot see their parents as someone they can go to and feel heard and understood They donrsquot see their parents as helpful or supportive Kids tell me what their parents say to them when they try to go to them with a problem ndash ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo

When I ask parents ldquowho do you want your child to go to when he or she has a problemrdquo they always say ldquomerdquo But if you were a child and were told repeatedly ldquodonrsquot bother me with this nowrdquo or ldquoget over itrdquo or ldquoyoursquoll be fi nerdquo would you go back for more I swear that if every parent learnt to listen to their child I would be out of a job And I would happily pack shelves at a supermarket knowing that our kids are healthy (physically emotionally socially intellectually)

I know that parents donrsquot do this on purpose Every parent wants the best for their child More often than not we donrsquot listen to our kids because their big emotions are too much for us to hear So we try to jolly them up redirect them away from the pain push them to see the brighter side We think that if our children are having an emotion then itrsquos our job to toughen them up But feeling heard and understood is one of the most precious things a human can experience especially when itrsquos coming from the most important people in your lives ndash your parents or carers

The path to easier parenting is empathy ndash standing and walking in your childrsquos shoes The next step is acknowledging how they are feeling about something - hearing them out You are not always going to agree with them and you are still the parent so you make the big decisions But quite often children can surprise us with their wisdom and insight

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

Golden ArchesIrsquove been to McDonalds(TM) across Sydney Australia and in a

couple of places across the world When I go there its with the confi dence that I know what Irsquom getting I also know that no one else can put up a set of golden arches unless theyrsquore the genuine article The law enforcement agencies wonrsquot allow it

The worldrsquos religions arenrsquot like that There isnrsquot an agency that checks everyone who claims to speak for a particular religion are lsquokosherrsquo With recent events around the world done in the name of Islam I remind myself that just because someone claims to speak on behalf of a particular religion doesnrsquot mean they do or that their claims are true

Itrsquos no diff erent when it comes to the God of the Bible And Irsquom saying that as a person who claims to speak on His behalf But if a Christian leader or a Christian for that matter makes a claim how do you check it out How do you know itrsquos the genuine article

Herersquos my advice - ask these two questions First do they treat the Bible as the fi nal authority that it has the answers about what we need to know about God about ourselves and about how He has brought the two together through the Lord Jesus Christ Second does the person love others with genuine servant hearted love The answer to the second question shows whether the answer to the fi rst is just lip service

If the answer to both those questions is a provable lsquoyesrsquo yoursquove got the genuine article And if yoursquove got the genuine article donrsquot let that person or church go until yoursquove checked out how your life can be transformed as theirs has If we as a church can help you in that wersquod love to do soRev Roger Cunningham

Salt Aquariums Back Bigger and Better

Salt Aquariums have been the local aquarium store experts specialising in reef aquariums since 2008 The Emu Plains business owned by Craig and Sharon Salt sustained a tragic fi re in December 2013

The fi re started in the air-conditioning system and quickly spread throughout the whole store Whilst the building survived with the exception of the roof panels unfortunately all the stock and shop fi t was destroyed

The rebuilding process took many months of hard work and in November 2014 they reopened for business ldquoLast year was a tough year for us but wersquore back and wersquore looking forward to this yearrdquo said Sharon Salt For all your aquarium needs including fi sh coral and live rock come in and visit the newly refurbished store at Salt Aquariums

I hear from many parents who are confused about their role in raising their kids There is so much noise these days about parenting ndash from social media friends family school television Some of it is misleading and not based on the research some of it is cruel and unusual How does one make sense of it all Parents cry out ldquowe didnrsquot get an instruction manual with this kidrdquo

To which I reply ldquoyour child is the instruction manualrdquo If you listen to your child observe him or her look at the situation from where he or she is standing it all becomes a lot clearer And parenting becomes a whole lot easier

When I talk with groups of children or individual children and I ask them if they can talk to their parents about what is troubling them more often than not the children say that their parents donrsquot listen to them they dismiss them or they lecture them Unfortunately a lot of kids donrsquot see their parents as someone they can go to and feel heard and understood They donrsquot see their parents as helpful or supportive Kids tell me what their parents say to them when they try to go to them with a problem ndash ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo

When I ask parents ldquowho do you want your child to go to when he or she has a problemrdquo they always say ldquomerdquo But if you were a child and were told repeatedly ldquodonrsquot bother me with this nowrdquo or ldquoget over itrdquo or ldquoyoursquoll be fi nerdquo would you go back for more I swear that if every parent learnt to listen to their child I would be out of a job And I would happily pack shelves at a supermarket knowing that our kids are healthy (physically emotionally socially intellectually)

I know that parents donrsquot do this on purpose Every parent wants the best for their child More often than not we donrsquot listen to our kids because their big emotions are too much for us to hear So we try to jolly them up redirect them away from the pain push them to see the brighter side We think that if our children are having an emotion then itrsquos our job to toughen them up But feeling heard and understood is one of the most precious things a human can experience especially when itrsquos coming from the most important people in your lives ndash your parents or carers

The path to easier parenting is empathy ndash standing and walking in your childrsquos shoes The next step is acknowledging how they are feeling about something - hearing them out You are not always going to agree with them and you are still the parent so you make the big decisions But quite often children can surprise us with their wisdom and insight

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

Is WEIGHT LOSS one of Your Goals This Year Then Triple Your Chances

With the festive season over getting back into routine often means slipping back into old habits and this can be setting yourself up for failure In order to achieve your 2015 goals you need to have a real plan According to a study by Columbia University people who determined a plan of action to achieve their goals almost tripled their chances of success

lsquoSMARTrsquo goal setting allows you to create such a plan and thus transform your lsquolose weightrsquo resolution into reality Here are the 5 simple steps1 Specifi c - defi ne your goal eg I will lose 10kg through good nutrition and exercise2 Measurable - break down your goal eg I will lose 05-1kg per week3 Accountable - share your goal with a supportive family member friend or practitioner4 Realistic - keep your goal realistic eg to lose 25kg in 12 weeks is neither real nor smart5 Timeframe - set a deadline for your goal eg If I lose 05-1kg per week I can hit my 10kg goal in 10-12 weeks

Losing weight can be done many diff erent ways but gaining health and feeling great when you get to your goal is ultimately what we all want A good health practitioner can off er support and advice to fast track you YOU CAN DO THIS The perfect time is NOW

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

Golden ArchesIrsquove been to McDonalds(TM) across Sydney Australia and in a

couple of places across the world When I go there its with the confi dence that I know what Irsquom getting I also know that no one else can put up a set of golden arches unless theyrsquore the genuine article The law enforcement agencies wonrsquot allow it

The worldrsquos religions arenrsquot like that There isnrsquot an agency that checks everyone who claims to speak for a particular religion are lsquokosherrsquo With recent events around the world done in the name of Islam I remind myself that just because someone claims to speak on behalf of a particular religion doesnrsquot mean they do or that their claims are true

Itrsquos no diff erent when it comes to the God of the Bible And Irsquom saying that as a person who claims to speak on His behalf But if a Christian leader or a Christian for that matter makes a claim how do you check it out How do you know itrsquos the genuine article

Herersquos my advice - ask these two questions First do they treat the Bible as the fi nal authority that it has the answers about what we need to know about God about ourselves and about how He has brought the two together through the Lord Jesus Christ Second does the person love others with genuine servant hearted love The answer to the second question shows whether the answer to the fi rst is just lip service

If the answer to both those questions is a provable lsquoyesrsquo yoursquove got the genuine article And if yoursquove got the genuine article donrsquot let that person or church go until yoursquove checked out how your life can be transformed as theirs has If we as a church can help you in that wersquod love to do soRev Roger Cunningham

Salt Aquariums Back Bigger and Better

Salt Aquariums have been the local aquarium store experts specialising in reef aquariums since 2008 The Emu Plains business owned by Craig and Sharon Salt sustained a tragic fi re in December 2013

The fi re started in the air-conditioning system and quickly spread throughout the whole store Whilst the building survived with the exception of the roof panels unfortunately all the stock and shop fi t was destroyed

The rebuilding process took many months of hard work and in November 2014 they reopened for business ldquoLast year was a tough year for us but wersquore back and wersquore looking forward to this yearrdquo said Sharon Salt For all your aquarium needs including fi sh coral and live rock come in and visit the newly refurbished store at Salt Aquariums

I hear from many parents who are confused about their role in raising their kids There is so much noise these days about parenting ndash from social media friends family school television Some of it is misleading and not based on the research some of it is cruel and unusual How does one make sense of it all Parents cry out ldquowe didnrsquot get an instruction manual with this kidrdquo

To which I reply ldquoyour child is the instruction manualrdquo If you listen to your child observe him or her look at the situation from where he or she is standing it all becomes a lot clearer And parenting becomes a whole lot easier

When I talk with groups of children or individual children and I ask them if they can talk to their parents about what is troubling them more often than not the children say that their parents donrsquot listen to them they dismiss them or they lecture them Unfortunately a lot of kids donrsquot see their parents as someone they can go to and feel heard and understood They donrsquot see their parents as helpful or supportive Kids tell me what their parents say to them when they try to go to them with a problem ndash ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo

When I ask parents ldquowho do you want your child to go to when he or she has a problemrdquo they always say ldquomerdquo But if you were a child and were told repeatedly ldquodonrsquot bother me with this nowrdquo or ldquoget over itrdquo or ldquoyoursquoll be fi nerdquo would you go back for more I swear that if every parent learnt to listen to their child I would be out of a job And I would happily pack shelves at a supermarket knowing that our kids are healthy (physically emotionally socially intellectually)

I know that parents donrsquot do this on purpose Every parent wants the best for their child More often than not we donrsquot listen to our kids because their big emotions are too much for us to hear So we try to jolly them up redirect them away from the pain push them to see the brighter side We think that if our children are having an emotion then itrsquos our job to toughen them up But feeling heard and understood is one of the most precious things a human can experience especially when itrsquos coming from the most important people in your lives ndash your parents or carers

The path to easier parenting is empathy ndash standing and walking in your childrsquos shoes The next step is acknowledging how they are feeling about something - hearing them out You are not always going to agree with them and you are still the parent so you make the big decisions But quite often children can surprise us with their wisdom and insight

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

Golden ArchesIrsquove been to McDonalds(TM) across Sydney Australia and in a

couple of places across the world When I go there its with the confi dence that I know what Irsquom getting I also know that no one else can put up a set of golden arches unless theyrsquore the genuine article The law enforcement agencies wonrsquot allow it

The worldrsquos religions arenrsquot like that There isnrsquot an agency that checks everyone who claims to speak for a particular religion are lsquokosherrsquo With recent events around the world done in the name of Islam I remind myself that just because someone claims to speak on behalf of a particular religion doesnrsquot mean they do or that their claims are true

Itrsquos no diff erent when it comes to the God of the Bible And Irsquom saying that as a person who claims to speak on His behalf But if a Christian leader or a Christian for that matter makes a claim how do you check it out How do you know itrsquos the genuine article

Herersquos my advice - ask these two questions First do they treat the Bible as the fi nal authority that it has the answers about what we need to know about God about ourselves and about how He has brought the two together through the Lord Jesus Christ Second does the person love others with genuine servant hearted love The answer to the second question shows whether the answer to the fi rst is just lip service

If the answer to both those questions is a provable lsquoyesrsquo yoursquove got the genuine article And if yoursquove got the genuine article donrsquot let that person or church go until yoursquove checked out how your life can be transformed as theirs has If we as a church can help you in that wersquod love to do soRev Roger Cunningham

Salt Aquariums Back Bigger and Better

Salt Aquariums have been the local aquarium store experts specialising in reef aquariums since 2008 The Emu Plains business owned by Craig and Sharon Salt sustained a tragic fi re in December 2013

The fi re started in the air-conditioning system and quickly spread throughout the whole store Whilst the building survived with the exception of the roof panels unfortunately all the stock and shop fi t was destroyed

The rebuilding process took many months of hard work and in November 2014 they reopened for business ldquoLast year was a tough year for us but wersquore back and wersquore looking forward to this yearrdquo said Sharon Salt For all your aquarium needs including fi sh coral and live rock come in and visit the newly refurbished store at Salt Aquariums

I hear from many parents who are confused about their role in raising their kids There is so much noise these days about parenting ndash from social media friends family school television Some of it is misleading and not based on the research some of it is cruel and unusual How does one make sense of it all Parents cry out ldquowe didnrsquot get an instruction manual with this kidrdquo

To which I reply ldquoyour child is the instruction manualrdquo If you listen to your child observe him or her look at the situation from where he or she is standing it all becomes a lot clearer And parenting becomes a whole lot easier

When I talk with groups of children or individual children and I ask them if they can talk to their parents about what is troubling them more often than not the children say that their parents donrsquot listen to them they dismiss them or they lecture them Unfortunately a lot of kids donrsquot see their parents as someone they can go to and feel heard and understood They donrsquot see their parents as helpful or supportive Kids tell me what their parents say to them when they try to go to them with a problem ndash ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo

When I ask parents ldquowho do you want your child to go to when he or she has a problemrdquo they always say ldquomerdquo But if you were a child and were told repeatedly ldquodonrsquot bother me with this nowrdquo or ldquoget over itrdquo or ldquoyoursquoll be fi nerdquo would you go back for more I swear that if every parent learnt to listen to their child I would be out of a job And I would happily pack shelves at a supermarket knowing that our kids are healthy (physically emotionally socially intellectually)

I know that parents donrsquot do this on purpose Every parent wants the best for their child More often than not we donrsquot listen to our kids because their big emotions are too much for us to hear So we try to jolly them up redirect them away from the pain push them to see the brighter side We think that if our children are having an emotion then itrsquos our job to toughen them up But feeling heard and understood is one of the most precious things a human can experience especially when itrsquos coming from the most important people in your lives ndash your parents or carers

The path to easier parenting is empathy ndash standing and walking in your childrsquos shoes The next step is acknowledging how they are feeling about something - hearing them out You are not always going to agree with them and you are still the parent so you make the big decisions But quite often children can surprise us with their wisdom and insight

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

I hear from many parents who are confused about their role in raising their kids There is so much noise these days about parenting ndash from social media friends family school television Some of it is misleading and not based on the research some of it is cruel and unusual How does one make sense of it all Parents cry out ldquowe didnrsquot get an instruction manual with this kidrdquo

To which I reply ldquoyour child is the instruction manualrdquo If you listen to your child observe him or her look at the situation from where he or she is standing it all becomes a lot clearer And parenting becomes a whole lot easier

When I talk with groups of children or individual children and I ask them if they can talk to their parents about what is troubling them more often than not the children say that their parents donrsquot listen to them they dismiss them or they lecture them Unfortunately a lot of kids donrsquot see their parents as someone they can go to and feel heard and understood They donrsquot see their parents as helpful or supportive Kids tell me what their parents say to them when they try to go to them with a problem ndash ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo

When I ask parents ldquowho do you want your child to go to when he or she has a problemrdquo they always say ldquomerdquo But if you were a child and were told repeatedly ldquodonrsquot bother me with this nowrdquo or ldquoget over itrdquo or ldquoyoursquoll be fi nerdquo would you go back for more I swear that if every parent learnt to listen to their child I would be out of a job And I would happily pack shelves at a supermarket knowing that our kids are healthy (physically emotionally socially intellectually)

I know that parents donrsquot do this on purpose Every parent wants the best for their child More often than not we donrsquot listen to our kids because their big emotions are too much for us to hear So we try to jolly them up redirect them away from the pain push them to see the brighter side We think that if our children are having an emotion then itrsquos our job to toughen them up But feeling heard and understood is one of the most precious things a human can experience especially when itrsquos coming from the most important people in your lives ndash your parents or carers

The path to easier parenting is empathy ndash standing and walking in your childrsquos shoes The next step is acknowledging how they are feeling about something - hearing them out You are not always going to agree with them and you are still the parent so you make the big decisions But quite often children can surprise us with their wisdom and insight

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

HEALTH MATTERS

Is WEIGHT LOSS one of Your Goals This Year Then Triple Your Chances

With the festive season over getting back into routine often means slipping back into old habits and this can be setting yourself up for failure In order to achieve your 2015 goals you need to have a real plan According to a study by Columbia University people who determined a plan of action to achieve their goals almost tripled their chances of success

lsquoSMARTrsquo goal setting allows you to create such a plan and thus transform your lsquolose weightrsquo resolution into reality Here are the 5 simple steps1 Specifi c - defi ne your goal eg I will lose 10kg through good nutrition and exercise2 Measurable - break down your goal eg I will lose 05-1kg per week3 Accountable - share your goal with a supportive family member friend or practitioner4 Realistic - keep your goal realistic eg to lose 25kg in 12 weeks is neither real nor smart5 Timeframe - set a deadline for your goal eg If I lose 05-1kg per week I can hit my 10kg goal in 10-12 weeks

Losing weight can be done many diff erent ways but gaining health and feeling great when you get to your goal is ultimately what we all want A good health practitioner can off er support and advice to fast track you YOU CAN DO THIS The perfect time is NOW

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

I hear from many parents who are confused about their role in raising their kids There is so much noise these days about parenting ndash from social media friends family school television Some of it is misleading and not based on the research some of it is cruel and unusual How does one make sense of it all Parents cry out ldquowe didnrsquot get an instruction manual with this kidrdquo

To which I reply ldquoyour child is the instruction manualrdquo If you listen to your child observe him or her look at the situation from where he or she is standing it all becomes a lot clearer And parenting becomes a whole lot easier

When I talk with groups of children or individual children and I ask them if they can talk to their parents about what is troubling them more often than not the children say that their parents donrsquot listen to them they dismiss them or they lecture them Unfortunately a lot of kids donrsquot see their parents as someone they can go to and feel heard and understood They donrsquot see their parents as helpful or supportive Kids tell me what their parents say to them when they try to go to them with a problem ndash ldquosuck it up princessrdquo or ldquobuild a bridge and get over itrdquo

When I ask parents ldquowho do you want your child to go to when he or she has a problemrdquo they always say ldquomerdquo But if you were a child and were told repeatedly ldquodonrsquot bother me with this nowrdquo or ldquoget over itrdquo or ldquoyoursquoll be fi nerdquo would you go back for more I swear that if every parent learnt to listen to their child I would be out of a job And I would happily pack shelves at a supermarket knowing that our kids are healthy (physically emotionally socially intellectually)

I know that parents donrsquot do this on purpose Every parent wants the best for their child More often than not we donrsquot listen to our kids because their big emotions are too much for us to hear So we try to jolly them up redirect them away from the pain push them to see the brighter side We think that if our children are having an emotion then itrsquos our job to toughen them up But feeling heard and understood is one of the most precious things a human can experience especially when itrsquos coming from the most important people in your lives ndash your parents or carers

The path to easier parenting is empathy ndash standing and walking in your childrsquos shoes The next step is acknowledging how they are feeling about something - hearing them out You are not always going to agree with them and you are still the parent so you make the big decisions But quite often children can surprise us with their wisdom and insight

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

Is WEIGHT LOSS one of Your Goals This Year Then Triple Your Chances

With the festive season over getting back into routine often means slipping back into old habits and this can be setting yourself up for failure In order to achieve your 2015 goals you need to have a real plan According to a study by Columbia University people who determined a plan of action to achieve their goals almost tripled their chances of success

lsquoSMARTrsquo goal setting allows you to create such a plan and thus transform your lsquolose weightrsquo resolution into reality Here are the 5 simple steps1 Specifi c - defi ne your goal eg I will lose 10kg through good nutrition and exercise2 Measurable - break down your goal eg I will lose 05-1kg per week3 Accountable - share your goal with a supportive family member friend or practitioner4 Realistic - keep your goal realistic eg to lose 25kg in 12 weeks is neither real nor smart5 Timeframe - set a deadline for your goal eg If I lose 05-1kg per week I can hit my 10kg goal in 10-12 weeks

Losing weight can be done many diff erent ways but gaining health and feeling great when you get to your goal is ultimately what we all want A good health practitioner can off er support and advice to fast track you YOU CAN DO THIS The perfect time is NOW

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

Back to School can be a Stressful Time The books are covered the bags are packed and the uniform

is neatly ironed and ready for the fi rst day of school For some children and young people however these practical things are not likely to be worrying them the most The stress and anxiety some young people feel at the start of the school year can be overwhelming

Those fi rst days can be some of the most exciting but Kids Helpline General Manager Wendy Protheroe said for others this time is a scary and frustrating one

Ms Protheroe said transitioning into school is one of the most important stages of a childrsquos development ldquoThis is the time that sets a bar in terms of how children develop coping strategies problem solving skills and ways of seeing and understanding the world outside of their familyrdquo Ms Protheroe said

ldquoThey may be starting Prep their fi rst year of senior school or going into Year 12 Whatever the stage it can sometimes be overwhelming with new challenges and uncertaintiesrdquo

As Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people Ms Protheroe said Kids Helpline was there to help

The service has compiled a list of tips for parents to support their children during this time Kids Helplinersquos Top Five Back to School tips are 1 Be excited about the change If you are enthusiastic and

confi dent your children are more likely to be as well2 Listen to your children Let them know yoursquore interested

in what theyrsquore worrying about and what theyrsquore excited about

3 Plan - have uniforms and lunches ready the night before to avoid the early morning rush and any unnecessary stress

4 If possible visit the new school with your child before the fi rst day to familiarise with the layout including bathrooms lunch areas and playgrounds

5 Start and maintain daily routines that will add structure and make your child more at ease (eg) dropping your child off at school at the same time each morning

Ms Protheroe said it was important for parents to make themselves available to provide support at critical times like starting back at school

However Kids Helpline was there to help at any stage Children and young people can call Kids Helpline about a range of issues from making friends to starting high school at any time

Kids Helpline Australiarsquos only national 247 counselling and support service for young people provides 24 hour counselling services to young people aged 5 to 25 years ndash free call 1800 55 1800 or online at wwwkidshelplinecomau

Is WEIGHT LOSS one of Your Goals This Year Then Triple Your Chances

With the festive season over getting back into routine often means slipping back into old habits and this can be setting yourself up for failure In order to achieve your 2015 goals you need to have a real plan According to a study by Columbia University people who determined a plan of action to achieve their goals almost tripled their chances of success

lsquoSMARTrsquo goal setting allows you to create such a plan and thus transform your lsquolose weightrsquo resolution into reality Here are the 5 simple steps1 Specifi c - defi ne your goal eg I will lose 10kg through good nutrition and exercise2 Measurable - break down your goal eg I will lose 05-1kg per week3 Accountable - share your goal with a supportive family member friend or practitioner4 Realistic - keep your goal realistic eg to lose 25kg in 12 weeks is neither real nor smart5 Timeframe - set a deadline for your goal eg If I lose 05-1kg per week I can hit my 10kg goal in 10-12 weeks

Losing weight can be done many diff erent ways but gaining health and feeling great when you get to your goal is ultimately what we all want A good health practitioner can off er support and advice to fast track you YOU CAN DO THIS The perfect time is NOW

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

lsquoSMARTrsquo goal setting allows you to create such a plan and thus transform your lsquolose weightrsquo resolution into reality Here are the 5 simple steps1 Specifi c - defi ne your goal eg I will lose 10kg through good nutrition and exercise2 Measurable - break down your goal eg I will lose 05-1kg per week3 Accountable - share your goal with a supportive family member friend or practitioner4 Realistic - keep your goal realistic eg to lose 25kg in 12 weeks is neither real nor smart5 Timeframe - set a deadline for your goal eg If I lose 05-1kg per week I can hit my 10kg goal in 10-12 weeks

Losing weight can be done many diff erent ways but gaining health and feeling great when you get to your goal is ultimately what we all want A good health practitioner can off er support and advice to fast track you YOU CAN DO THIS The perfect time is NOW

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

Refi nancing Is it Really Worthwhile

With David amp Leonie Jackson - Great Aussie Dream P 4733 8592 E admingadcomau

PARENTS CORNERMONEY MATTERS

Have interest rates fallen since you took out your mortgage Has your fi nancial situation improved Would you like to access your equity for an investment renovations or to consolidate debts

Refi nancing can often be a good fi nancial decision You could save money on repayments or free up funds for other purposes Refi nancing can sometimes even let you take advantage of more competitive loan products that help you pay off your home sooner

But before you rush in you should talk to us Wersquoll help you to add up the costs involved and decide whether or not refi nancing is the right move for you considering your personal circumstances and fi nancial situation In some cases refi nancing your mortgage could save you money but in other cases it could end up costing you more

What is refi nancingRefi nancing is the process of paying off an existing mortgage by creating a new one

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

$2100 Guide Dog Donation from the Santa Photos with Pets

Santa Claus visited Orchard Hills Veterinary Hospital during December 2014 and photos were taken with your pets We all enjoyed watching your pets get dressed up with Santa hats and scarves and sitting on Santarsquos knee for a photo With a lot of laughs and giggles we took many cute Santa photos

Thank you for all of the donations for the photos With your great support we raised $2100 for The Guide Dogs NSWACT Wow This was our best year yet

We all had lots of fun and The Guide Dogs get a great donation Thanks again for participating Too much fun

The Guide Dogs NSWACT

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

Over the next 12 months these families will provide the pups with basic social skills obedience and lots of fun The dogs are visited regularly by the Puppy Raising Offi cers who monitor their development and take them on training walks on their local area In addition the pups spend time at the Guide Dogs Centre to help them become familiar with their next home If you are interested in becoming a puppy raiser

contact The Guide Dogs at wwwguidedogscomauGuide Dog Training

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges

You can switch lenders entirely or switch to a more suitable loan with the same lender It could include combining a primary mortgage with a second mortgage so that you only have one mortgage to pay and reducing the overall costs

What costs are involvedUnderstanding the costs involved with refi nancing is an important part of deciding

if this strategy is right for you Sometimes the cost of refi nancing can cancel out any savings you might make on a lower interest rate

Talk to us about your goalsIf yoursquore thinking about refi nancing for any reason then it pays to talk to us about

your goals and the best way to go about achieving them Refi nancing might be a good idea for you if your fi nancial situation has improved since you fi rst took out your loan as this may help you get a better rate

Twelve months from now people will be looking back on 2015 and seeing the results of the choices theyre making now

For some people it will look pretty much like 2014 The same story just one year older

It must be the case for most people Another year and more unfulfi lled lsquoNew Years Resolutionsrsquo It is said that around 8 of these get achieved

If you had a good 2014 how can you build on that to make you and your business stronger in 2015 If you didnrsquot have a good 2014 what can you change or do to ensure it goes better for you You have the most control over yourself The blame game never works

So what do we need to do this year to make it a good oneBe proactive The key to progress is taking control of it yourself

It is very important to be aware of whats going on around you as well Stay abreast of industry changes and keep one eye on competition

Be confi dent and commit to your goals A lack of confi dence is one of the biggest obstacles to achieving both personal and business goals You need to believe in your abilities build on your strengths and address weaknesses when planning Commit to doing whatever it takes to get you where you want to be even if it involves some risk

Start every day prepared and engaged If you want to advance you need to demonstrate that youre truly engaged in your business Its not enough to physically be there at your desk every day Show up mentally prepared and ready to take action Being active tackling tasks and planning ahead are the characteristics you need to take the initiative in your business

Use technology to help you Business will continue to be driven by better business technologies Employees also want technology to help them be more effi cient and productive so embrace that It may even lead them to do more with less and work smarter not harder

So herersquos to a new year if that is what you need for a fresh start mentally You have control to make sure everything comes together to make your goals a reality

Guide Dogs NSWACT exists to enhance the quality of life of people living with blindness or impaired vision by assisting in their achievement of independence through access and mobility with the use of Guide Dogs It takes nearly two years to develop a playful pup into a responsible Guide Dog Puppy Raising

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

New puppies arrive at the Guide Dogs Centre at the age of approximately eight weeks

They work with purebred Labradors Golden Retrievers and LabradorGolden Retriever crosses These breeds are calm loyal and intelligent and have a proven track record as Guide Dogs The pups are then placed with families that have been specially selected by Guide Dogs staff They are called puppy raisers

When the pups are about 14 months old they return to the Guide Dogs Centre The instructors carefully assess every puppy on several long walks Prospective Guide Dogs must be eager to work with good concentration and initiative They must also control the temptation to be distracted by other animals

Puppies that are selected to become Guide Dogs undergo an intensive fi ve-month program to learn the complex skills required for their new job They begin with simple commands and progress to more challenging tasks These skills include

bull Walking in a straight line without sniffi ng bull Walking on the left-hand side slightly ahead of the trainer bull Stopping at all kerbs bull Waiting for a command before crossing roads bull Stopping at the top and bottom of stairs bull Avoiding obstacles at head height bull Avoiding spaces too narrow for a person and a dog to walk through side by side bull Boarding and travelling on all forms of public transport bull Taking the trainer to a lift bull Laying quietly for some time particularly at a workplace or in restaurants bull Refusing commands that may lead the trainer into danger - for example if the trainer instructs the Guide Dog to walk them into a hole the dog should refuse to walk forward when commanded

As training progresses Guide Dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas such as shopping centres and busy city streets In fact experienced Guide Dogs can lead their users to a list of destinations As you can imagine this requires careful teaching so the dog learns each command in a complex sequence of events

Despite the hard work involved Guide Dogs have a rewarding job indeed These intelligent dogs lead an interesting life and enjoy its many challenges
