December 2014 – Dooral Roundup 3 EDITORS’S REPORT What a Year 2014 has been By Judy Pope There have been the highest highs and unthinkable tragedies. e have seen a year of plane incidents from a targeted Wshooting to a full blown disappearance and many other accidents in between. We have had bushfires, droughts and floods and many unpredictable storms and sometimes two or more at the same time in different parts of this great country we live in. Our soldiers have returned to battle zones in the middle east and medical aid has gone to assist in Sierra Leone as the Ebola virus strikes down thousands. Back on home ground the government is battling to get any policy through the senate and is becoming less popular by the week. The latest cuts to the ABC and SBS have impacted on most Australians and I think out of all their decisions will cost them the most dearly and running a close second the proposed GP co-payment. We now have a train station appearing at Cherrybrook and works will shortly commence on the traffic lights at the intersection of Glenhaven Rd and Old Northern Rd, Hallelujah! I would like to wish all the local businesses and our readers a very merry Christmas and a prosperous and happy 2015. exCludes sAle iteMs, AniMAls & Pet Food Birds l Fish l Rabbits l Mice l Guinea Pigs l Pet Accessories l Pet Food l Kennels l Cages & Hutches oFFeR exPiRes 31.12.2014 4 Dooral Roundup – December 2014 COVER STORY The Place to Be By Tegun Hair and Body By TLC is a newly established hair and starting your treatments, this allows you to understand the beauty salon catering for everybody’s needs. processes we go through and my recommendations to get the best results. t is not just a hair salon!

Businesses Combine for Summer of Shakespeare The award-winning Shakespeare in the Park series combined with the rustic charm of Bella Vista Farm has been a winning combination for several years. ow theatre-lovers have even more reason to spend summer nights with Nthe Bard at Bella Vista. The team from the EmptyGlass Wine Bar on Castle Hill Main Street will be on hand with a selection of boutique wines and cheeses for the audience through this summer’s run of A Midsummer Night’s Dream and The Crucible. Platters can also be ordered in advance online when purchasing tickets. “Hills residents have a great appetite for performing arts and Shakespeare in the Park is a really unique concept that has helped to activate this location and expose thousands of people to the farm,” Mayor Jefferies said. “With the addition of a local business selling fine wines and cheeses, I’m sure that more people than ever will be enticed to attend Shakespeare in the Park this season. Last year’s run of Cyrano de Bergerac was nominated for five Sydney Theatre Awards and won three, including Best Independent Production.
