Murder charge laid
A Dulwich Hill woman was arrested this week and charged with murder as a result of investigations into the deaths of Mahmoud Hamzy and Joe Antoun
late last year.32-year-old Amanda Crowe was arrested at 6am
on Monday, October 27 at her Dulwich Hill home. She was charged with the murder of Mr Hamzy and other offences relating to his shooting at Revesby Heights on October 27, 2013.
Four other men, including three brothers, were also charged with Mr Hamzy’s murder. Police believe all five including Ms Crowe are associated with the ‘Brothers 4 Life’ gang as was the murder victim Mr Hamzy.
Two of the four other men were also charged with the murder of Joe Antoun, who was shot at his home in Strathfield on the night of December 16, 2013.
Speaking outside Burwood Local Court this week, Ms Crowe’s lawyer Zemarai Khatiz said Ms Crowe will defend the allegations. Mr Khatiz said one of the co-accused was alleging that Ms Crowe was driving the car when Mr Hamzy was shot.
The Commander of the Homicide Squad, Detec-tive Superintendent Mick Willing, said the charges stemmed from some outstanding police work.
“Rest assured, more charges will be laid in the future as we intend to hunt down and bring to justice anyone who was involved in these ruthless crimes,” Det Supt Willing said.

OPINION
Australia should pull its weight as globe battles Ebola crisis
There was some good news in the fight against Ebola this week with the World Health Organisa-tion reporting that spread of the disease in Liberia was slowing but also warning that a lot still needs to be done to get the outbreak under control.
Head of the UN Mission for Ebola Emergency Response Anthony Banbury said on the ‘7.30 Report’ this week that what they need most are trained foreign medical teams, who cannot only work in Ebola treatment units, but who can manage them, ensuring good infection control.
The Federal Government has so far resisted providing such a contribution.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott said he was reluctant to direct Australian personnel into an Ebola hot spot when we don’t have any means of effectively evacuating such personnel back to Australia and we have no commitments from other countries to treat them there either.
“I think it would be a little irresponsible of an Australian government to order Australian personnel into this very dangerous situation if we didn’t have effective risk mitigation strategies in place, and at the moment there is no way of doing that,” Prime Minister Abbott said.
He said the Government had committed $18 million to the efforts in west Africa.
“About a fortnight ago, there was a UN meeting and we quickly stumped up an additional $10 million. We were thanked by the UN Chief for providing just the kind of quick and effective response that the situation demands,” he said.
“We are carefully monitoring the situation in west Africa, we are assisting the World Health Organisation and others to respond appropriately in west Africa, but we are also quite rightly and understandably focused on being prepared here at home and in our region.”
However, Opposition health spokesperson Catherine King said UN Secretary-General Ban-Ki Moon, the UN Security Council, Medecins Sans Frontieres, the UK and US Governments, the Australian Medical Association and Australia’s Chief Medical Officer had all called for Australia to send personnel to help fight the Ebola crisis in west Africa.
“We know going to help fight Ebola in west Africa would not be without risk, which is why it’s important safety protocols are in place to support Australian personnel who volunteer to serve,” Ms King said.
“But it is unacceptable that the Abbott Govern-ment has failed to make arrangements and act.
We know many Australian health workers are ready, willing, and able to assist. There is no time to lose.”
It’s worth remembering that while Ebola is a serious illness with a high mortality rate, it is not terribly contagious and, as such, can be contained with proper procedures.
The virus is only transmitted through bodily fluids such as blood, vomit, diarrhoea, and is only transmitted when a patient has symptoms of the disease.
So the people who contract it know they have come in contact with an infected person. Gener-ally speaking they are relatives of infected people or medical personnel treating them.
Currently, there are just over 10,000 cases worldwide with virtually all of them in three neighbouring countries: Liberia (4665 cases and 2705 deaths), Sierra Leone (3896 cases and 1281 deaths) and Guinea (1553 cases and 926 deaths).
Beyond these three there were 20 cases in Nige-ria but thanks to good infection control, Nigeria is now declared free of the disease as is Senegal which had one case.
And Spain will be declared free in a month or so after its sole patient has twice tested negative for the infection. The United States has four cases and Mali has one and health officials are confident they will be able manage the outbreaks in both those countries.
The only other country with recent cases is the Democratic Republic of Congo which had 67 cases of a different strain of the virus so is ultimately unconnected to the outbreak in western Africa.
The UN says the last reported case there tested negative on October 10 so the country should be declared free of the disease in mid November.
It seems clear that the disease can be brought under control with appropriate resources. That’s why it’s disappointing that Australia isn’t contributing more to the effort.
For those wondering, NSW Health says it is well-prepared to identify and respond to any cases here.
Westmead Hospital has been designated as the treatment centre for any cases and has isolation rooms and trained staff if needed.
GPs are being advised to ask patients with fevers if they have been to west Africa recently and, if they do suspect they have a patient with Ebola, have already been given protocols regard-ing isolating the patient and contacting their local public health unit.
What they need most are trained foreign medical teams

T he Liberal candidate for the West Ward by-election, George Andrade, says his party is now a viable option for voters in the
local area.“At the last election, we got two council-
lors elected. That was the biggest vote in the history of the area in my view,” Mr Andrade said.
“I think the Liberals in the last three years have begun to get more active in the area. We are showing the people we are going to be here for the long haul. Our aim is to get a councillor in each ward. It’s all about giving the voters, the ratepayers, another option.”
Mr Andrade feels Marrickville Council could do more for local business in the area.
“Small business is the backbone of your community, creating employment for young kids, getting them off the street, keeping them out of crime,” he said.
“I think car parking around here should be three hours instead of two. Two hours is not enough if you’ve got a restaurant.”
However, he also feels there needs to be more green space in the area.
“I think Marrickville Council would be
one of the worst in Sydney for green space.Twenty years ago you didn’t see all the high rise you see today,” he said.
“The population’s increasing. People need to go somewhere and spend a couple of hours in the park and things like that. There’s none of that around anymore.”
George Andrade arrived as a 10-year-old with his family from the Portuguese island of Madeira and has lived within the Marrickville Council area ever since.
“I was educated at Lewisham Primary and Dulwich High. Now my grandkids go to Wilkins,” he said.
“I used to be a director at the Portugal Madeira club in Denby Street off Addison Road. I was a director there for two years from 1994 to 96. I also used to run Dulwich Hill soccer club.”
These days he works in the waste and recycling industry and, while that keeps him busy, he believes there is a lot to be done in Council.
“I think they are cutting costs, with lawns and footpaths and drains. The basic services for the ratepayers isn’t there anymore,” Mr Andrade said.
“Let’s put it this way. In my street, I calculate with what I pay in council rates, there is $40,000 in rates in just one street and what do I see, one garbage service a week. I don’t see anything else.”
Liberal candidate says Council could do much more for rate-payers

News in brief
Minister for Transport Gladys Berejik-lian announced yesterday (Thursday, October 30) that seniors and pensioners can from Monday, November 3 order their own Gold Opal card if they choose to, and pay no more than $2.50 a day to
use public transport. Seniors and pensioners can still buy
and use their paper Pensioner Excur-sion Tickets (PET) if they don’t want to
use the Gold Opal card.“The new Gold Senior/Pensioner Opal
card means eligible customers won’t pay more than $2.50 a day for travel on trains, buses, Sydney Ferries and light rail when it is rolled out,” Ms Berejik-lian said.
“From Monday, November 3, seniors and pensioners can access all the benefits of the Opal card – including the convenience of never having to queue for a paper ticket again. Gold Opal customers can use cash to top up their card with as little as $2.50.
“Already more than 1.1 million Adult and Child/Youth Opal cards have been issued, and this number continues to grow as more customers realise the benefits of Opal.”
Minister for Roads and Freight Duncan Gay this week launched the NSW Government’s new motorcycle educa-tion campaign ‘Ride to Live’, to help motorcyclists and other motorists bet-ter identify and manage the issues that put motorcyclists at risk.At the launch Mr Gay said this cam-paign was critical to help reduce the number of tragic motorcycle crashes on our roads, which sadly was increas-ing.“Our motorcycle community is growing at a rapid rate but unfortunately motor-cycle fatalities are also on the rise,” Mr Gay said.“We know over the past 10 years, we have significantly reduced the overall
number of fatalities on NSW roads by more than 35 per cent but motorcyclist fatalities have increased by 22 per cent.
“From Sunday, the campaign, will ex-pand into new ads on TV, radio, online and the backs of buses. This helps motorcyclists to be aware of the risks they face and provides tips on how to manage them.”

A number of local arts organisa-tions will benefit from program funding announced by the NSW Government this week.
Marrickville-based DirtyFeet is a not-for-profit dance organisation supporting early career dancers, choreographers and young people.
It will receive $51,356 for its 2015 program, including four residencies, six workshops, two development projects and two performances, providing professional development, performance and mentor-ing opportunities.
Tempe’s Ensemble Offspring promotes diverse and emerging new music. It will receive $60,000 to support its 2015 program, celebrating the organisation’s 20-year anniversary with a series of original music events, from an immersive multimedia opera to a roving performance installation, and featuring cross-genre collaborations from early to popular music.
Another Marrickville group Sydney Non Objective invites artists to show work each month in an individual or collective. The selected projects generally reflect a wide variety of approaches to the plastic
The Newtown-based Sydney Chamber Choir will receive $9,000 to support a program of concerts of challenging and exciting new Australian compositions, alongside traditional repertoire from a broad range of periods and styles.
Although not based locally, Brand X Productions is heavily involved in the local area. The not for profit arts organisation provides subsidised workspaces for artists including at Camperdown Bowling Club, Palace Studio in Marrickville and Tempe Jets. It will receive $70,000 to support its programs.
Deputy Premier and Minister for the Arts Troy Grant said the NSW Government is investing $3.9 million in 70 arts and culture organisations across the State.
“The selected programs are a strong spread across the Performing Arts, Visual Arts, Literature and Museum disciplines, and offer terrific opportunities for the community to experience great talent,” Minister Grant said.
“Importantly this investment provides certainty for those employed in and around the arts economy to continue their work and contribution to our lives.”
Minister Grant said the NSW Govern-ment is delivering on its commitment to increase participation in arts and cultural activities in the State by 10 per cent.

N SW Governor David Hurley presented awards to two local residents last weekend for their outstanding lifesaving efforts
and voluntary service.Rowan Whitford of Newtown and
Annette Maczureck of Camperdown received Save a Life Awards for being part of a team which provided lifesaving first aid, CPR and airway management to a member of the public who collapsed at the Ivy Bar in Sydney. Mr Whitford received an additional Save a Life Award for providing
first aid to a casualty who had been hit by a vehicle at high speed in Sydney Olympic Park.
Both are members of the St John Ambu-lance organisation and St John NSW Commissioner, Didier Moutia, said that the Annual Awards Ceremony is a premier event for the organisation.
“It’s a chance to celebrate and publicly recognise not only St John members, but people of the greater community,” Mr Moutia said.
“Whether it’s for performing lifesaving first aid, an act of bravery or outstanding voluntary service – all of the awardees are to be commended.”

N ewtown rugby league legend Brian ‘Chicka’ Moore passed away last weekend after a long illness.
The tall centre played for the Bluebags for 12 seasons from 1962 to 1973 and was the club’s last first grade coach prior to their being kicked out of the NSWRL competition at the end of the 1983 season.
He formed a superb centre partnership with the speedy Bobby Keyes in his play-ing days and scored 90 first grade tries in 173 games.
He represented Sydney and NSW on several occasions and toured with the 1967/68 Australian Kangaroos. Although he was never in a first grade premiership-winning team and never played in a Test match, he was regarded as one of the best centres in the world in his prime.
Off the field Moore had a distinguished career in the NSW Police Service extend-ing over 29 years. He was known for his quick wit and considered the quintes-
sential good-humoured Australian larrikin.
His funeral is today (Friday, October 31) at 10.30am at the Eastern Suburbs Crema-torium in Military Road, Matraville. This will be followed by a drink at the Henson (formerly the Henson Park Hotel) on Illawarra Road, Marrickville.

Safety crack down on cyclists leads to infringement notices
Police are urging cyclists to think about their safety after 121 riders were found not wearing helmets during an operation this week.

The operation was launched following a rise in injuries and fatal crashes in the Sydney CBD and surrounding suburbs over the past year. During the operation police issued 121 infringements to cyclists who were not wearing helmets and 25 infringements to cyclists who disobeyed traffic lights.
Man charged after filming up women’s dresses at shops
A man has been charged after allegedly filming up women’s skirts at the Broadway Shopping Centre this week.
About 5pm on Tuesday, October 28, a member of the public was at the shopping centre on Bay Street when they allegedly saw a man filming up women’s skirts with his mobile phone.
Security officers were informed and stopped the man as he was about to leave the centre. He was detained until police arrived and arrested him.
Police spoke to the man and checked his mobile phone where they allegedly found a number of video files depicting the incidents. The 34-year-old Kellyville man was taken to Newtown Police Station where he was charged.
No stopping zone offence leads to drug bust
A 43-year-old man has been arrested and charged with possession of an illegal drug after he was found carrying heroin in Marrickville last Sunday.
About 7.20pm last Sunday, October 26, police stopped the man who had parked his silver Subaru in a no stopping zone on Marrickville Road.
Further inquiries by police led them to believe that the man was carrying prohib-ited drugs.
Police searched the man and his vehicle and located a small resealable bag contain-ing a drug thought to be heroin.
The man is due to attend Newtown Local Court on Tuesday, December 9.
Arrest warrant issued for man who frequents Tempe area

King is described as being of Caucasian appearance, about 188cm tall, with a medium build, brown eyes, and a bald head.
He was last seen in the Carlingford area last Tuesday, October 21 and is known to frequent Tempe as well as Carlingford and Goulburn.
Anyone who sees Mr King should not approach him, but instead call Triple Zero immediately.

A large crowd of more than 300 attended the Canterbury Hurl-stone Park RSL Club last week for a climate forum organised by
Member for Grayndler Anthony Albanese with guest speakers Amanda McKenzie and Mark Butler.
Amanda McKenzie is the CEO of the Climate Council, the successor to the Climate Commission which had its government funding cut recently but has been able to continue thanks to Australia’s biggest crowd-funding campaign.
She said there were four things people should remember when discussing climate change.
“We need to talk about today not tomor-row. It’s very easy to defer action if we’re talking about a problem that’s coming but if it’s a problem that’s now we need to act immediately,” Ms McKenzie said.
“We need to talk about people not polar bears. We need to talk about local impacts rather than abstract science.
“And we need to talk about solutions and provide a vision for what the world can look like when we’re addressing this problem rather than just focussing on the nature of the problem.”
Crowd of more than 300 attend forum on climate change
ENVIRONMENT
“Climate science is settled”
Mark Butler, Anthony Albanese and Amanda McKenzie at last week’s climate forum
As an example she described how the Inner West was six degrees hotter than it otherwise would be so is particularly vulnerable to rising temperatures. She
also spoke about the work being done in China on climate change.
“Their increase in renewable energy is just staggering. They’re now a world leader
CHRIS CONNOLLY @connolly2204 in installed capacity and solar and wind. And they’re exporting it to the world,” she said.
“That’s had a huge impact in reducing the price of a renewable, which has been reduced to about a fifth of what it once was in Australia.”
Shadow Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Water Mark Butler spoke about two climate change myths he finds particularly frustrating.
They include the belief that the science isn’t settled and that even if there was a problem, it’s now going into reverse.
“The science is about as settled as you can get in this area. The Intergovernmen-tal Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) lifted its certainty last year to 95 per cent that the globe is warming,” Mr Butler said.
“NASA reported over summer that some 97 per cent of climate scientists who publish in this area agree with the IPCC,” Mr Butler added.
“Myth two is it’s all getting cooler. What we do know is that the 20 hottest years in history have all been since 1990. We already know that 2014 is likely to be the hottest on record.”
Questions were then taken from the audience and ranged from the issue of food production to the Renewable Energy Target.

M arrickville Mayor Mark Gardiner believes it’s going to be very difficult to avoid being forced into an amalga-
mation with other local councils.He said at the recent local government
conference in Coffs Harbour, Premier Mike Baird and Local Government Minister Paul Toole left attendees in no doubt that they expect all councils to embrace its ‘Fit for the Future’ program. This states councils need a scale and capacity consistent with the recommendations of the Independent Local Government Review Panel, which in turn recommended the merger of Marrickville with Leichhardt, Ashfield, Burwood, Strathfield and Canada Bay.
“We had the Treasurer coming out last week saying he thinks personally there should be no more than five councils in Sydney,” Mayor Gardiner said.
“I think the state government’s invested far too much time, money and political capital into this reform process. It’s not going to back away from it now. I don’t believe any council will be able to hold out.”
Mayor Gardiner feels the government’s logic is confused, arguing that councils are losing a million dollars a day but ignoring
the $500 million a year of cost shifting from state and federal governments to local councils over the last few years.
“So if councils are losing money, that’s happening because councils are doing more,” he said.
“Generally we’re doing more with less. We’ve had rate pegging in NSW for quite a long time now. Rates have gone up at a lower rate than CPI and the wage price index.”
He says both the NSW Government’s assessment of Marrickville Council and Council’s own external auditors say that it is financially viable as an independent body but it doesn’t have the scale the Government is demanding.
“We have to remember that Marrick-ville is itself an agglomeration of former amalgamations. There are four town halls in the Marrickville LGA. Amalgamations have happened before. I’m pretty sure they’re going to happen again,” Mayor Gardiner said.
“We have authorised the general manager to talk to all of our neighbours as well as the councils identified in the inde-pendent local government review panel report. So what we’re saying is we’ll exam-ine all options at this stage. Once we have a view as to what our neighbours might want to do, if they do want to discuss it, we then have to talk to our community.”

T he Newtown Festival returns next week to Camperdown Memorial Rest Park, although the fun starts this weekend as part of
Festival Week.Beginning with ‘A Man Called Stu’ at
the Midnight Special on Sunday, there will be events, gigs and workshops at venues throughout what is being dubbed the Republic of Newtown.
“Local businesses have worked with us for years at the Festival, as stallhold-ers, sponsors, partners and generous supporters. We thought it was time to take the celebrations back to the streets, and remind everyone of just how much we’ve got to offer in this neighbourhood,” Festival Director Sue Andersen said.
The week culminates in the Festival itself on Sunday, November 9 featuring a huge music line-up across three live stages.
There’s also a star-studded Writers’ Tent, a Kids Zone boasting everything from hula-hooping workshops to a reptile petting show, the infamous Dog Show, roaming performers, a circus tent and hundreds of stalls.
Headlining on the main stage will be Deep Sea Arcade from 4.55pm. They will be supported by Astronomy Class, the Donny Benet Show Band, Tigertown, Richard in Your Mind, EAST, The Lulu Raes and The Morrisons.
The Writers’ Tent, presented by local bookstore Better Read Than Dead, will feature Dr Karl Kruszelnicki speaking about his most recent release, House of Karls, which explains the truth about green tea, how you can out-run a deer, why space is the hostile frontier and how crime pays (but not very well). There will also be a panel of crime writers including Candice Fox, Peter Docker, Peter Corris and Melanie Casey plus, for the kids, a visit from the Gruffalo.
The Festival is the principal fundraiser for the Newtown Neighbourhood Centre which last year assisted approximately 6,660 people, including 437 issues of homelessness, 942 requests for housing assistance and 1,447 instances of emer-gency relief.
The Centre also provides low cost coun-selling, English conversation classes, tax assistance, the women’s support group and more, all supported by funds raised through donations at Newtown Festival.
The Festival runs from 9.30am to 5.30pm with no glass, no BYO and no bottled water. Free tap water stations will be provided by Sydney Water and patrons are encouraged to bring their own water bottles or use the recyclable cups on site.
Entry is free although the Centre encourages a gold coin donation at the gate to help support the services they provide to the local community. Full program details can be found at www.newtowncentre.org/festival/.

Today is Halloween, the perfect excuse to go all out and dress up in a costume that at any other time of the year would be totally unacceptable.
If you are reading this now and have just thought ‘oh no, I haven’t planned my Halloween costume yet’ or ‘I would like to go to a Halloween party but I don’t have anything to wear’, then you are in luck because I have some of the best last-minute Halloween costume ideas up my sleeve.
But before I share my secret costume ideas, I need to lay down the one, most important ground rule. Your Halloween costume needs to be scary. I don’t care how many times some-one tells you that you would make the best Mary Poppins or Where’s Wally, unless you are the dead or zombified version of those people, you’re hardly playing the part.
Tip #1: Convert an old costume. If you dressed up as Snow White to your last fancy-dress
party and don’t need the costume again, consider making it look scary. Grab a pair of scissors and slash at the costume (making sure the cuts aren’t in any awkward places). Pull out some threads to help the fraying along. Then, grab some red food colouring, mixing it with water if you like, and splash it over the costume. Ta-da, you now look like you are a Snow White who has had a fight with a crazy knife-wielding dwarf... I am sure you can come up with your own scenarios.
Tip #2: Make a cape. Making a cape is ridiculously easy if you have a length of
black fabric laying around the home. It is as simple as cutting it to size and tying it around your neck but if you don’t have a huge store of fabric at home and you can’t get to Spotlight, grab a black maxi dress and slip your head through an arm hole – easy! To complete the cape outfit, cover your face in talcum powder and say hello to dracula.
Tip #3: zombify your normal clothes. If you haven’t seen the TV show ‘The Walking Dead’ do
yourself a favour and look up some stills online. Turning yourself into a zombie is so easy that all you have to do is drag some old clothes through some mud and get inventive with your, or your sister’s eyeshadow.

With so many planets visiting your career zone, find ways you can be more creative, cooperative and conscientious on the job.
It’s also time to spruce up your work space or home office. The Full Moon could also herald a house move, home renovations, guests arriv-ing or domestic dramas.
AQUARIUS JANUARY 21 TO FEBRUARY 19
Are your aspirations ambitious enough? There’s no room for false modesty or passive procrastination this week. The Full
Moon stimulates your sense of adventure, as you transform an abstract idea into a practical project. It’s also the perfect time to talk and text; plus be proactive in partnerships and gung-ho in group situations.
PISCES FEBRUARY 20 TO MARCH 20
Professional Aries, strive to anticipate [and solve] workplace problems before they actually happen. For non-working Rams
think of creative ways you can contribute your numerous talents to the world around you. When it comes to giving financial assistance to fam-ily or friends, aim to balance being generous and being realistic.
ARIES MARCH 21 TO APRIL 20
The Full Moon (in tenacious Taurus) encourages permanence in partnerships, but that doesn’t mean you have to get stuck in a
boring rut. Single Bulls – look for love with someone who is wise and mature. And be emotionally honest with yourself. Feeling guilty about something you did in the past won’t help the current situation.
TAURUS APRIL 21 TO MAY 21
Use the power of your imagination plus some strategic research to get to the bottom of a problem that’s had you stumped for a
while. Plus listen to your inner voice, it will point you in the right direc-tion. Mercury moves into your wellbeing zone on the weekend (where it stays until November 28) so take the time to educate yourself about healthy eating, exercise and lifestyle choices. Knowledge is power.
GEMINI MAY 22 TO JUNE 21
Crabs are often teary on a Full Moon but this one’s in earthy Tau-rus, so you’ll feel more emotionally grounded than usual. Work
matters and group activities are favoured, as Uranus and the full moon boost your creativity and networking skills. Avoid blowing things out of proportion though and strive to maintain your sense of perspective.
CANCER JUNE 22 TO JULY 22
With Jupiter jumping through your sign it’s time to enjoy your-self, and make the most of your extensive talents. Home is
where the heart is as you use your Lion’s den as the creative canvas on which you can express yourself via cooking, crafting, painting, garden-ing, renovating or interior design.
LEO JULY 23 TO AUGUST 23
This week you’re more experimental than usual, as the Full Moon activates your adventure zone. But you may encounter
problems with a stressed relative or a neurotic neighbour, as they mis-understand where you are coming from. Fortunately, Mercury shifts into your communication zone on the weekend making things easier.
VIRGO AUGUST 24 TO SEPTEMBER 23
How’s your budget and bank balance going? The Full Moon highlights hiccups in your financial management. Aim to be less
extravagant, and much more cautious with cash and credit (and more financially literate). Librans love to dress up and are the fabulous fash-ionistas of the zodiac, but don’t just focus on your outer appearance.
LIBRA SEPTEMBER 24 TO OCTOBER 23
Expect a satisfying week, as the Sun/Pluto sextile provides plenty of opportunities to sharpen your communication skills.
Plus, you’re at your charming Scorpio best. So don’t hesitate to call in a few old favours … in the nicest possible way. As Albert Camus wrote “Charm is the way of getting the answer yes, without having asked.”
SCORPIO OCTOBER 24 TO NOVEMBER 22
On Wednesday, ricochet out of your comfort zone and tackle an adventurous project. Then the Full Moon lights up your work
zone, so you’re keen to be in charge. But are you being the boss or just plain bossy? Utilise your leadership skills in clever and creative ways. If you’re feeling over-stressed and under-appreciated, then organise some time out for yourself. Solitude is soul food for you.
SAGITTARIUS NOVEMBER 23 TO DECEMBER 21
The Full Moon favours socialising, entertaining, networking and communication as you mix and mingle with a wide range of peo-
ple. Singles; love and the internet are linked, so join a few online dating sites ASAP! But be careful how you communicate with loved ones on the weekend. Confidence could be misinterpreted as cockiness.

When it comes to health there really is a lot in the old saying ‘go with your gut’. It’s becoming more and more apparent about how important your gut bacteria is for your overall health and wellbeing. Plus gut microbiota may hold the key to unlocking most so-called Western lifestyle diseases.
“When you look at almost any condition that exists now that didn’t exist or was much less common 40 or 50 years ago, there is a good chance that it is relating to the actions of the gut microbiota,” says Professor Charles Mackay from Sydney University, a medical researcher with 35 years’ experience in the field.
“I would include in that list food allergies, asthma, type one and type two diabetes, obesity and possibly autism and a few other things.”
He said some cancers, including colon cancer, may also be impacted by people’s intestinal flora, and conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease. It’s interesting to hear how they influence the whole of our health.
“There are trillions of bacteria in our gut; they serve a function in our gut to digest fibre and do a whole lot of other things. They also produce by products and metabolites, and these metabolites can enter the blood and go all over the body,” Professor Mackay said.
A bacteria that might infect your gut could be producing some molecule, maybe a common one, or a less common one, that has some fundamental role to any cell of your body. The molecule can travel around the body and attach to a cell, adversely affect its function, and this is how a host of diseases can occur.
Do you have trouble losing weight? Some bacteria like sugars and others like fats. And these little guys can influence what you feel like eating. So when you really crave that donut and frappacino, it’s not in your head, it could be in your gut!
Professor Mackay said the course of study on microbiota could have a bigger impact on human health than any other medical breakthrough for 30 or 40 years.

There has been a recent national surge in the cases of canine parvovirus or ‘parvo’ and experts are citing missed vaccinations as a cause.
While parvoviruses have been around for a long time, canine parvovirus is a relatively new disease, only emerging in 1978. The virus originally came from cats, where a form of a common feline virus mutated, allowing it to infect dogs. The highly contagious virus can survive for more than a month in contaminated faeces, the soil, grass and even clothing.
If a puppy catches ‘parvo’, they can suffer from irreversible brain and heart failure. Dogs who catch the illness later in life develop a profuse, foul-smelling diar-rhoea that may have blood in it.
A secondary bacterial infection often takes hold once ‘parvo’ has damaged the intestines sufficiently. Dehydration and multiple organ failure ensues within days of infection and the mortality rate exceeds 80 per cent without treatment.
Thankfully, unlike many other viruses, including influenza, ‘parvo’ is considered a very stable virus that hasn’t mutated much over the years in the dog population. This means that vaccines offer very high levels of protection. Your veterinarian will decide the best time to vaccinate your dog to ensure the vaccine works optimally. For example, a vaccine should never be given to a dog who is not 100 per cent as it won’t work as well.
While ‘parvo’ has the potential to infect all breeds and all life-stages, puppies under 20 weeks of age, rottweilers and Dober-mans are more likely to contract parvovirus and experience the disease with more severe symptoms.
With summer approaching, and more dogs being in close contact with other dogs, parvovirus is a real risk so be wary.

Burlesque as an art form continues to rise in popular-ity and this Saturday, Black Opal Burlesque will present Feast Burlesque at the Red
Rattler Theatre in Marrickville.Divided into a three course meal, this
entirely food themed show will feature many of Sydney’s best burlesque perform-ers including Bunni Lambada, Kelly Ann Doll, Diesel Darling, Bonnie Petite, Rebelle Velvetine, Simona Lisa, Hannie Reagan, Mama La Roux, Ginger Foxx, Percy Peacock, Euphoria Fox, Miss Peaches and Delores.

years. So far, she has taken on Miss Piggy, become a detective sleuth and wreaked havoc with voodoo charms. For the Feast she is preparing a classic Balloon Pop act with a twist as well as a double act with fellow creator and director, Bonnie Petite.
She says her favourite food is not limited to one speciality but a sprawling buffet of good laksa, nori rolls, her mum’s Singa-pore curry, and authentic jerk chicken.
Another local performer is Newtown’s Hannie Reagan. Her Feast Burlesque act is inspired by the late great Fanny Brice who cooks up a delicious breakfast for her hubby then kisses him good bye and sends him off to work. However, Hannie, has a saucy surprise in store for him for dinner and while she eagerly awaits his return… things take one hell of a turn.
Boylesque performer Billy Bullseye
Texas will be MC and maître d’ for the evening while the Black Opal Burlesque girls have also arranged delicious treats for the audience to snack on.
Feast Burlesque is on this Saturday, November 1 at the Red Rattler Theatre. Doors open at 7pm with the first course served at 8pm. Tickets are $25 at the door.

Brutally funny take on cut-throat classic
Stephen Sondheim’s ‘Sweeney Todd’, a tale of love, murder and unusual pies, is coming to the New Theatre in Newtown.
Combining violent and erotic horror with social commentary and a poignant love story, this musical retell-ing of the ‘Demon Barber of Fleet Street’ is at times shocking, intensely moving and brutally funny.
The title role of ‘Sweeney Todd’ is being played by NIDA graduate Justin Cotta. His recent credits have included ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ for the Melbourne Theatre Company, ‘King Lear’ and ‘Romeo and Juliet’ for Bell Shakespeare, ‘Fool For Love’ at the Belvoir and ‘Before/After’ with the Sydney Theatre Company.
Cotta has twice been nominated for Sydney Theatre Awards for ‘The Removal-ists’ in 2013 and ‘Syncopation’ in 2012.
His partner-in-crime, the love-struck, pie-baking Mrs Lovett, is played by Lucy Miller, seen most recently at New Theatre in ‘Wolf Lullaby’. Earlier this year, she won acclaim for her performance in ‘Scenes from an Execution’ at the Old Fitzroy.
Director Giles Gartrell-Mills moved to Sydney from London in 2013. He has worked as an actor, writer and director, including at Shakespeare’s Globe.
His directing credits have included ‘Caligula’ which won a Time Out London
CHRIS CONNOLLY
Critics’ Choice, ‘Jekyll & Hyde’, ‘The Two of Us’, ‘It’s Behind You!’ and ‘The Dark and Cavernous Walls’.
He also worked as assistant director on a production of ‘Sweeney Todd’ which won both the Time Out London and Evening Standard Critics’ Choice Awards.
“I have a great affinity with the London environs and origins of the Sweeney Todd character which I’m looking to explore in this production,” he said.
Other principal cast members include Courtney Glass as the mysterious Beggar Woman, Laurence Coy as Judge Turpin, Simon Ward playing Beadle, Josh Ander-son and Jamie Leigh Johnson as the young lovers Anthony and Johanna, Aimee Timmins as Tobias, and Michael Jones playing Pirelli.
The character Sweeney Todd first appeared in 1846 in a penny dreadful called ‘The String of Pearls’.
However, variations of the basic story have a long history to them. This version, with music and lyrics by Stephen Sond-heim and book by Hugh Wheeler was first produced on Broadway in 1979 starring Len Cariou as Sweeney Todd and Angela Lansbury as Mrs Lovett.
In all it’s a great story and sure to all be a great production.
The New Theatre version opens on Tuesday, November 18 and runs till December 20. Performances are at 7.30pm Thursdays to Saturdays and 5pm on Sundays. Tickets are $32/$27 (or $17 on Thrifty Thursdays) and are available from www.newtheatre.org.au.

‘Kill the Messenger’ is a dramatic thriller that takes a look into the world of news and the consequences that can come from reporting the truth.
The story is based on actual events and follows Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Gary Webb, played by Academy Award nominee Jeremy Renner, as he discovers the secrets behind the cocaine epidemic in America. Through his investigation Webb ends up alleging that the CIA knew about the dealers who were responsible for bringing drugs into the country, a trade which funded rebels who were fighting in Nicaragua.
As he explores the story further Webb is warned to stop by both CIA operatives and drug kingpins who don’t want the investigation to go any further.
Webb puts his career and his life on the line to expose the truth behind the conspiracy. The film forces you to question where we should draw the line when it comes to news reporting.
The story is based on the novel of the same name by Nick Schou along with Webb’s own account in ‘Dark Alliance’.
Grammy Award winning artist Taylor Swift is back with her new album ‘1989’, named after the year of the singer/songwriter’s birth. For her fifth release Swift set out to make a record which is pure pop, taking her a little further from the country music that defined her start in the music industry at the age of just 14.
The first single from the album is ‘Shake It Off!’ which debuted in the top spot on the U.S Billboard Hot 100. The track opens with a strong beat and very much fits in with Swift’s aim to make catchy pop tunes rather than her previous country-pop blend. It’s a fun, infectious uptempo song that sees Swift addressing her haters, advising them that she doesn’t really care what they have to say, instead she’s just going to ‘shake it off’.
While not quite as immediately catchy as ‘Shake It Off!’, second single ‘Out of the Woods’ is a solid electro pop track that addresses the in-between stage of a new relationship. Swift collaborated on the track with Jack Antonoff, lead guitarist for indie rockers Fun.
It’s a pretty safe bet that this will be another high selling album for Swift. Her fans are passionate and plentiful and the tracks released so far are very radio friendly.
After 2012’s ‘The Walking Dead: Season One’ won Game of the Year the franchise is back with a follow up that sees players once again take on the role of Clementine, a young orphaned girl who must battle her way through the undead apocalypse.
Months after the events of Season One Clementine is looking for safety from the walking dead and is finding it hard to know who to trust from the living. As you make your
way through the game every decision made will change the story and affect the outcome.
‘The Walking Dead: Season One’ is based on the award-winning comic books by Robert Kirkman.
Whether you’re a fan of the hit TV show, the original comic series, or zombie stories in general there’s no doubt that ‘The Walking Dead: Season One’ has plenty of action and suspense to keep gamers happy.
Based on John Green’s best selling novel of the same name, ‘The Fault In Our Stars’ is a moving story that follows Hazel, played by Shailene Woodley and Gus, played by Ansel Elgort.
Hazel is currently battling cancer while Gus is in remission. The two meet in a cancer support group and though at first Hazel is unsure about Gus they end up becoming friends.
What develops is a love story that sees the pair support each other through some very difficult times.
Laura Dern, from ‘Little Fockers’, also stars as Hazel’s mother and ‘True Blood’s Sam Trammell stars as Hazel’s father.
The film has gained mostly positive reviews on movie review sites Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb, with critics praising the movie for staying true to the source material.
‘The Fault In Our Stars’ is a powerful, emotion filled, and sometimes funny movie about life, love and the battles we face.

DAVID ELLIS
WINE
Sydney lawyer and weekend winemaker, Paul de Mestre likes to sum up the fruit of his hobby as “the best wine from the smallest vineyard you’ve never heard of”.
And while we think he’s pretty much right, don’t go rushing out trying to find a bottle. He makes just 800 a year, and these can be bought only from his little 16ha vineyard on Sofala Road at Ilford in the Mudgee Region of the NSW Central Ranges, or online. And even then that’s if he’s got any…
While not officially organic, Paul takes a minimalist approach to his winemaking, trusting nature, as he says, at every turn. The result is delightful cool climate vari-etals that can vary considerably from vintage to vintage, but which always deliver big on texture and flavour, be they his Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon or Viognier.
His currently available 2012 de Mestre Wines Shiraz at $30 is a corker, coming from a perfect vintage – and by adding a touch of Viognier he’s achieved a wine that’s nicely fragrant and has forward flavours of plum and black pepper. Go to www.demestre.com.au to organise a bottle or six, or to arrange a vineyard visit.
One to note: New Zealand’s Matua has come up with an interesting concept with the release of three labels that give buyers some extra help in choosing off the shelf their preferred style of Sauvignon Blanc.
Their label Matua Smooth is “soft and elegant”; a Matua Crisp is “fresh and tropical”; and a Marlborough Matua Lighter is “cool and fragrant”. Each of these 2014 vintage wines is priced at $22 through BWS.
The best you’ve never heard of
CHATTERON THE BOX
A local version of ‘I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of
Here’ is set to hit our screens early next year with details starting to emerge as to what we can expect from the new Channel Ten reality program. The show will air five nights a week live from South Africa with celeb casting currently underway. Former ‘Australian Idol’ judges Mark Holden and Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson are being speculated on.
It’s sure been a long time since that classic
Channel Ten show ‘Good News Week’ graced our screens with the host of that particular program finally landing a new gig. Comedian Paul McDermott will front a new interview series for SBS called ‘Room 101’ next year. Based on a UK format, the 10-part series sees celebrities discussing what really gets under their skin.
In America, ‘Pawn Stars’ have been airing special
throwback episodes complete with commentary from its stars of late. Let’s hope A&E pick up the episodes to air here as I think they could be quite entertaining and interesting for long time fans of the show.
It’s one of the greatest British comedies in
recent times but now the Americans, as they always do, want a slice of the pie. ‘The IT Crowd’ is set to be remade by NBC for American audiences. This is the second time NBC has attempted a version of ‘The IT Crowd’.
If you haven’t had enough of sharks getting
caught up in storms yet then boy do I have some good news for you! ‘Sharknado 3’, titled ‘Feast Coast’ has been announced by SyFy and will take place from Washington DC to Orlando. It will air sometime mid-next year.
As it’s Halloween, here’s a list of some of the
great horror flicks airing on Foxtel tonight: ‘The Conjuring’ (Premiere Movies at 5pm), ‘The Haunted Mansion’ (Disney Movies at 5pm), ‘Halloween’ (Action Movies at 8.30pm), ‘Scary Movie 2’ (Comedy Movies at 8.30pm).

Australia’s motoring clubs have announced the finalists for the 2014 Australia’s Best Car Awards.
The announcement of the 45 finalists follows extensive assessment of 220 cars in 15 categories ranging from micro cars to four-wheel drive vehicles.
“The program is Australia’s most independent evaluation of value for money, design and function and on road performance of new vehicles,” Australian Automobile Association Chief Executive, Andrew McKellar said.
There have been some changes to the categories this year with the introduc-tion of micro cars, a change from People Movers to Family Wagons and a revamp of the SUV and 4WD categories.
“These changes have been made to ensure the program reflects changing preferences in the new-car marketplace,” Mr McKellar said.
The category finalists range in price from under $20,000 for the Mitsubishi Mirage ES, to more than $120,000 for the Range Rover Sport and use various powertrains including petrol, diesel and hybrid energy.
“Purchasing a new car is a major decision and we hope our assessment will make it a little easier,” Mr McKellar said.
The Australia’s Best Car judges have experience in automotive engineering, vehicle testing and motoring advocacy.
The winners will be announced on November 25. The results will be available at www.australiasbestcars.com.au.

L ast year Marrickville couple Aaron and Megan Oman watched their horse Fiorente claim Australia’s biggest racing prize, the Melbourne Cup.
While not everyone in Marrickville will have quite as much riding on it this year as the Omans did, the majority will be glued to the race next Tuesday in workplaces, homes, clubs and other venues around the municipality.
Fiorente won’t be there to attempt a repeat win after tearing a tendon in April this year that forced the horse’s retirement.
While the field hasn’t been finalised, it was narrowed to 40 this week.
Japanese horse Admire Rakti is a clear favourite with the bookies with Fawkner, Lucia Valentina, Mutual Regard and Protectionist also receiving strong support.
Admire Rakti’s favouritism comes on the back of his strong win in the Caulfield Cup a couple of weeks ago where he ran down Rising Romance and favourite Lucia Valentina and looked to have enough left in the tank to run another 800 metres.
Field narrowed for Cup

Marrickville locals will stop to watch the race of the year
Fawkner finished sixth in last year’s Melbourne Cup after winning the 2013 Caulfield Cup. He has shown good form this year over shorter distances but hasn’t been tried over more than 2040 metres since last November.
Lucia Valentina is a four-year-old mare from New Zealand. Her best form to date has also been over shorter distances although she did finish third in the Caulfield Cup.
There are plenty of places broadcasting the race live in the local area including Marrick-ville Golf Club, Gasoline Pony, Marrickville Bowling Club, the Southern Cross Hotel in St Peters, Coopers Hotel in Newtown, the Queen Victoria Hotel in Enmore and Peter-sham RSL Club.
For those a bit further afield, there’s the Leichhardt Bowling Club, Wests Ashfield and Canterbury Hurlstone Park RSL.
