BIG HOPS (Steps) for a WALLABIE JUNIOR Local Junior Berowra Wallaby Harry Rorke has achieved a lot since playing all his junior days for the Berowra Wallabies. Harry, up until the U15’s, has pulled on the maroon and white colours for his local team, as well as playing rugby for his school at Riverview. At the age of 15, he was selected for Riverview 1st XV in year 10, which was an achievement in itself. In Year 11 he was selected in GPS (greater public schools) 1st XV then NSW 2nd XV playing in the Australian Championships in Queensland and then the Australian ‘A’ school boys team, playing against the England under 18’s squad. He was then promoted to the Australian School’s 1st XV v New Zealand. He achieved his selection through a pool of talent from NSW finest union schools including Knox, Oakhill, Kings, Barker and St Gregory’s. In 2012, Harry commenced his footy season by playing for South Sydney’s SG Ball side in the tough front row position. He helped South’s make the semi finals, but, lost to the eventual premiers Balmain, prior to school rugby competition’s kick off. When the school rugby competition commenced, Harry was immediately selected in the GPS 1st XV and then the NSW schools 1st XV v QLD 1st XV, where he played strongly to win the championships this year for the first time in 7 years and pulling off a legendary ‘that tackle’ by George Gregan in cover defense to give his side victory and win the internal Man of the Match performance. Harry has now been selected in the prestigious Australian School 1st XV to play Tonga. Following on from this game the squad will tour Fiji and New Zealand for three Test Matches while still having to focus on his HSC studies. A tremendous feat for any young man. Harry’s ambition is to graduate from Riverview and then commence an electrical apprenticeship with Spaceage Electrics, while still pursuing a professional rugby career. Harry says that he credits his football achievements to the great coaching by the legendary Mick Wall from the Wallabies. ‘Mick has always coached us with the foundation of solid defence, capped with slick attacking finishes.’ Harry’s proud dad, Bernie was heard to say, ‘It seems like only yesterday I was teaching him how to bust tackles as a five year ol’ in the back yard’.

Health... PRICELESS PEARLS By Ralph Estherby It took me 5 hours on Saturday to install a bucket! Sounds lke an easy job doesn’t it? It sounds like something that should take only a few moments however it was not the job that I set out to do. What I was trying to achieve was to install a small tap under my sink to attach to the plumbing of the new fridge we just had delivered. I had planned what I needed to do, I had made the mandatory trip to the hardware store, I had checked everything twice and then I started by cutting the pipework under the sink. In my own defence I usually am very successful when it comes to ‘do-ityourself’ tasks but today was not my day. Part of the problem was the location, the pipework was hidden right up in the back of the cupboard with very little access and secondly there was only a small amount of pipe to work with. When I was ready, I cut the pipe, taped up all the joints, installed the joining section, checked everything was OK and then turned the water back on. Result? ...Drips. I inspected the work, retaped the joints, tighted the nuts and bolts and... Drips. I took it all apart once more, tried to change the posistion of the parts slightly, taped & tightened yet again and... Drips. For a total of 5 hours I sat with half my torso stuck I a cupboard getting water dripped on my head! Finally I did what I should have done much earlier...I installed a bucket and called a plumber! When the plumber asked what was wrong I told him straight - the problem was me, I had done something wrong, I thought I was OK but no matter how hard I tried I fell short and ended up with drips. A couple of days later my bucket was replaced by some effective pipework. Experience, expertise and the right tools made the difference. The best I could come up with was a dripping tap but now everything is fine, not a drip to be seen and my failure has been rectified. None of us are perfect, we all have ‘drips’ which display where we have fallen short of the mark. Some of us have contented ourselves with a bucket to cover up our errors when really we need an expert with the right tools and experience to fix the needs we have. There really is no substitute for Jesus when it comes to fixing the various ‘leaks’ in our life - so please don’t just be satisfied with a bucket!

Whilst the majority of children came from Berowra, others travelled from Wendoree Park, Mooney Mooney, Brooklyn, Cowan and Mt Kuring-gai. KidsGames, now in its 11th year, has grown successively. KidsGames organiser AJ Blair from St Marks Anglican said, “The week long programme was a great combination of games, songs, puppet shows, craft, sports, food and Bible Stories. The holiday activity is so appealing that this year there were over 60 children on the waiting list after registration had closed.” This year’s theme was based on the children’s movie Finding Nemo. The talks demonstrated the similarity in the relationship between Nemo and his father Marlin, and that of us and our Heavenly Father. Nemo turned his back on his father but Marlin went to incredible lengths to get his son back. The same can be seen in that we all have turned from God, but he wants each one of us back so badly that he sent his only Son Jesus to take our punishment so we can be right with him. It’s was great message and a great week. Look out for KidsGames 2013 !!! Photo: KidsGames participants 2012. Photo courtesy Mal Heap.

PHYSIOTHERAPY HEEL PAIN “It is not necessary to put up with HEEL PAIN,” says Mrs Chard PODIATRIST. There are several causes of heel pain, the most common being PLANTAR FASCIITIS Plantar Fasciitis is simply inflammation of the big strong band on the bottom of the foot (the plantar fascia). Symptoms usually begin as a ‘stone bruise’ type of pain, increasing to chronic pain, especially first thing in the morning or after rest. This kind of pain is easily treated by realigning the foot and leg, which reduces the trauma, allowing the injured foot to repair. FOR AN APPOINTMENT CALL 9482 2227. 519 Pacific Hwy. Mt Colah.
