Notice to all advertisers and contributors

rganiser of the event Stuart Pearson, was very pleased with the result as people travelled from far and wide to be part of the festival. “There were people from the wider Central West, but what was most amazing were the number of people from over the mountain from as far as Sydney,” said Mr Pearson. One family even hopped on a plane to visit all the way from Perth. The success of this inaugural event ensures it will become a regular event on Bathurst diverse cultural calendar, with discussions now underway over whether it will be a bi-annual or annual event in the future. The event featured a range of family friendly activities and performances, all featuring the recently upgraded Carillon, the only such instrument in a Regional town anywhere in the country. There were many people involved in the organising and execution of the event which took a number of months to plan. The festival featured over 200 participants and musicians including carillonists and performers, choirs, harpists, bands, pipe bands and orchestras. A total of 9 community organisations participated in organising and managing the event, it was truly a team eﬀort. Mr Pearson has a great vision for the event in the future to make it a showpiece for the entire Central West region, representing the best we have to oﬀer, all centring around the unique Carillon. “When you are looking at things from an economic development point of view, you have to have something that no-one else does and we have that in the Carillon.” Said Mr Pearson. A huge congratulations to all involved in a wonderful cultural event, and one that will certainly grow in the years to come and bring more people over, or maybe under, the mountain to this great region.

2021 BATHURST LIVING LEGENDS Six new Living Legends will be announced, and last year’s Pillars of Bathurst and Living Legends were acknowledged at Sunday’s Proclamation Day ceremony.

ayor Bobby Bourke said the Living Legends project was introduced in 2015 as a Bicentenary initiative. “Living Legends is a bicentenary legacy project to acknowledge outstanding members of our community for their dedication, determination, personality, work and contribution to the city,” he said. “Living Legends contribute to the wellbeing of Bathurst, benefitting the entire community and generating goodwill and this year’s successful nominees reflect these traits.” “This year six recipients are joining the list of Living Legends and will be honoured with a tree and plaque on Bradwardine Road. The Living Legends joined Proclamation Day activities on Sunday and were officially recognised as part of the ceremony at the Flag Staff.

pavement and bridge. “Transport for NSW continues to progress plans for the Crossley Bridge, and will keep the local community informed as the project progresses.” The drop-in session will be held on Tuesday 18 May from 4pm to 7pm at Sofala Memorial Hall – 23 Denison Street, Sofala.

$2 BILLION FUNDING FOR GREAT WESTERN HIGHWAY! The Federal budget has delivered a major funding boost for the Central West with more than $2 billion announced for the Great Western Highway upgrade between Katoomba and Lithgow. This is a huge win for our region!

Construction on the project is expected to start in late 2022 and be finished by mid 2026. The Australian Government is supporting the Great Western Highway upgrade because it’s such a vital transport link and key regional project.

The funding will help us to get cracking on this corridor and it will also deliver an important employment boost, by supporting nearly 4,000 jobs over four years! It will be a great economic stimulus for local communities and small businesses.

I’d also encourage the NSW Government not to shelve its plans for a Bells Line of Road expressway! People are coming over the mountains in record numbers as they discover the advantages of life over the great divide and so I remain very supportive of getting that corridor upgraded as well.

WOW, ZOE PETERS!

SKILLED MIGRATION REGIONAL VISA ROADSHOW

Regional Development Australia Central West (RDA Central West) has partnered with the Department of Home Affairs to deliver a series of free information sessions on visa options for employing workers in regional Australia.

RENTAL DIFFICULTIES ON THE RISE FOR CENTRAL WEST TENANTS Rising rents, decreasing vacancies and an increase in no-grounds terminations across Central Western NSW are a huge cause for concern, with the potential to impact housing stability for many vulnerable people in Bathurst and Orange.

ccording to statistics from VERTO’s Tenants’ Advice and Advocacy Service (TAAS), the current rental market volatility in the Central West is leading to a rise in issues for tenants. From the previous year, TAAS has seen an increase of 228 per cent of Orange tenants and a 550 per cent increase of Bathurst tenants contacting VERTO’s TAAS due to the impact on affordability through rent increases. “These increases are simply not manageable or sustainable for many tenants,” VERTO CEO Ron Maxwell said. “Many are still feeling the financial impacts of COVID-19 and may already be in rental arrears. The consequences of being unable to afford housing are significant, and include ongoing housing instability and/or homelessness.”

The Bathurst and Orange regions are also experiencing rapidly decreasing rental vacancy rates, with vacancies as low as 0.6 per cent in some areas. “When you have a situation where rents are rising, and it’s incredibly diﬃcult to ﬁnd new housing, you, unfortunately, have a perfect storm for many tenants,” Mr. Maxwell said. No-Grounds Termination Notices, whereby a lease is terminated without reason, are also on the rise across the Central West, with a 200 per cent increase in Bathurst and a 144 per cent increase in Orange. In the last 12 months, one in three tenants who sought assistance from VERTO’s TAAS had received one of these notices. “Anecdotally, our team are reporting increased anxiety amongst tenants when it comes to requesting

LIVING CHESS DISPLAY THE BATHURST SESQUI-CENTENARY was celebrated with a ten day program of events during1965. One of those events was a living chess display staged at the Bathurst Civic Hall on Saturday, 27 March at 7pm. The event was initiated by Bathurst Chess Club member Keith Robertson, then a teacher at All Saints College. Thirty boys from All Saints enacted the moves of the chess pieces along with two girls from Marsden School who played the parts of the black and white queens. The average age of the students was 12 years. Their role was to move in response to commands issued over a public address

maintenance or repairs, worried that the request may lead to a nogrounds termination. This is a concern as we approach the winter months, and heating becomes a necessity,” Mr. Maxwell said. VERTO’s TAAS is continuing to support growing numbers of tenants facing difficulties, many of whom face additional challenges, such as financial hardship or domestic violence. “Housing instability, or fear of it, can have a raft of social impacts, particularly for some of the most vulnerable in our community. For those experiencing domestic violence, it may lead to a difficult choice – staying with a perpetrator or sleeping rough; a choice no one should have to make,” Mr. Maxwell said. VERTO’s TAAS is a free service that provides advice and support to tenants facing rental challenges, helping them understand their rights and responsibilities and explore their options. If you are facing tenancy issues, please contact VERTO’s TAAS on 1300 4 VERTO (1300 483 786) or info@verto.org.au.

system. A commentary was also provided for the beneﬁt of spectators to help explain the progress of the game. Four games were played during the night, three of which were rehearsed. The rehearsed games included a match dating from 1635, another match played by Napoleon in 1820 and a 1960 world championship game played initially in Moscow. The moves of the fourth game were unknown to the participants, who performed without error to the commands of then Bathurst Chess Champion Frank Rutland-Manners and former Australian Chess Champion John Purdy.

THE INFORMATION SESSIONS will be held in Orange and Cowra on Thursday, 27 May with Condobolin and Forbes to host information sessions on Friday, 28 May 2021. RDA Central West CEO, Sam Harma said the information sessions are a great opportunity for local businesses to learn more about skilled migration visa options. “The information sessions will provide more detail to local employers and stakeholders in the Central West who may be seeking to fill positions that cannot otherwise be filled by Australian workers,” said Mr Harma. “Each session will cover the key information on skilled regional visas, Designated Area Migration Agreements and general COVID-19 impacts and assistance.” Mr Harma added that the Skilled Migration Program is making an important contribution to the region’s economy and is also providing more options for employers who cannot fill a position with local labour. “In some regions employers are struggling to find the right skilled staff locally, and so the best fit is often skilled workers from overseas. “I encourage employers and interested community members from across the Central West to register for the information sessions and find out more about skilled work visa options, regional migration and the benefits it could have for local businesses and skilled migrants.” The information sessions are free, however registration is essential. Please note that individual circumstances cannot be discussed by the NSW/ACT Business, Industry and Regional Outreach Officer.

various chess pieces were made by Mrs Joyce Pitcher, whose children attended All Saints and Marsden. The board was constructed using pine board squares and tarpaulins, and covered an area of 256 square yards. Around 800 spectators viewed the spectacle from the galleries and floor of the venue. The All Saints Cadet Unit provided the music for the event. This was not the ﬁrst living chess display in Bathurst. A similar event occurred in the then School of Arts building in 1894.

THE 3 MAIN REASONS CUSTOMERS DON’T PAY! Better Business Column by Steve Semmens, The Persuader

“Never take your eyes off the cash flow because it’s the life blood of business.” – Richard Branson THERE ARE LITERALLY thousands of creative excuses for nonpayment of invoices. Business owners regularly encounter them but often don’t understand the customers’ motives or how to encourage them to pay. The best excuses for non-payment I’ve encountered over the past 37 years include: • “My dog ate my cheque book” (apparently this did happen!); • “Our Director is on an overseas cruise and won’t be back for six weeks”; • “Our bank was robbed and our account was cleaned out”; and • “My grandmother died last week and I am flying to Perth for the funeral”. While the final excuse sounded legitimate enough, the customer had used it eight times in two years. I’m not sure about you, but I only have two grandmothers. The most common excuse business owners receive is “I have not received your invoice.” Thanks to technology, this excuse is easy to overcome. Simply emailing the invoice while your customer is on the phone gives you the opportunity to confirm they have received it. You should also feel confident asking when the customer expects to pay the invoice, and how it will be paid. We rarely need to worry about cheques anymore either. There are three main reasons for non-payment. The first is “can’t pay” – an indicator of a cash flow problem or lack of funds. The second reason is “won’t pay,” normally a sign that there

1 2

is a relationship issue or that the client likes to use you as a bank. The third reason is “shouldn’t pay” and most likely due to a legitimate query such as a genuine error in the transaction. When asking for money, remember it is a customer service call, and losing your temper with the customer will only create resistance to pay. Always speak professionally, stay calm, and make a realistic arrangement. Once the payment arrangement is agreed upon, you must follow up to check if the payment has been made and if not immediately ring the client to ﬁnd out why and make an arrangement. Many larger clients will only pay once they get a phone call as that is part of their accounts payable process. If you don’t feel comfortable to make collection calls then outsource it to your bookkeeper as they are usually very good in chasing up debtors. Ensure you have a practical credit policy and payment terms are discussed with the client at the start of the sales process, again when the sale is made, and is clearly and concisely written on the invoice. The best way to avoid being caught by feeble excuses is to identify which of the three categories of non-payment the excuse falls in to – and plan your response strategy accordingly. Knowing how to respond to customer excuses for non-payment can positively impact your cash flow. In the case of an especially good excuse though, you might decide to extend payment terms after having a really good laugh.

STANNIES SHINE AT ENGINEERING CHALLENGE Story and photos supplied

CONGRATULATIONS TO TEAM Stannies on their second-place win in the Science and Engineering Challenge for Year 10 students at CSU Engineering. Stannies was represented by 32 boys with a wide variety of skillsets to complete eight activities over ﬁve hours. The activities were divided into engineering tasks that required the competitors to construct a bridge, an earthquake-proof tower, a bionic hand, a hovercraft and a water turbine. Each construction was judged on its effective capacity to support weight, stress, speed

and strength. The scientiﬁc tasks required the students to apply logical reasoning to deliver a balanced power supply to a network for the least cost using a mix of conventional and clean energy sources, connect power to houses using the shortest possible network path and communicate a message using light pulses. Students needed to experiment with the materials, construct a prototype, test their design and make adjustments to arrive at a solution within the given timeframe. Each

team of four was assigned to two tasks over the ﬁve hours. In a photo ﬁnish with only 28 points the difference, Stannies placed second out of the seven schools

represented. The boys displayed the qualities of a Stannies man competing in good spirit and showing creativity, collaboration and critical reflection throughout the day.

TWO MILE RE-OPENING TO BOOST LOCAL TOURISM

news

Jenolan Caves Road at Two Mile will re-open next week, restoring access to the Jenolan Caves tourist precinct after floods closed the road in March.

inister for Regional Transport and Roads and Member for Bathurst Paul Toole said Jenolan Caves House and the Two Mile access road would re-open on Monday in a big win for the local community and tourism operators across the Bathurst region. “Jenolan Caves Road was hit hard by the flood impacts of the weather event in March, causing severe damage to the roads and surrounding slopes,” Mr Toole said. “That’s had a huge impact on this World Heritage Area, the communities that live along Jenolan Caves Road and the tourism operators that rely upon access for tourists. “Crews have since been working hard to repair the road network, so it’s great that we’re able to re-open the Two Mile section of Jenolan

Caves Roads on Monday to allow visitors heading to Jenolan Caves House access to this local tourist attraction. “Work elsewhere on Jenolan Caves Road is powering ahead, with specialist contractors stabilising the slope at Hampton, which links Oberon to the Great Western Highway, on track to re-open to single-lane traffic by the end of May.” Jenolan Caves Reserve Trust Director Cameron Chaffey said it would be great to have access to the award winning tourist attraction after a series of setbacks starting with the bushfires two summers ago, followed by landslips after heavy rain last year, COVID-19 in 2020 and then the recent flood event. “Mother nature hasn’t been kind to us in the past couple of years.

However, we are certainly grateful for the tireless work by Transport for NSW crews in remediating the roads in to the caves so we can continue to operate,” Mr Chaffey said. “Two Mile provides more limited access to larger vehicles such as tourist coaches compared to Five Mile, but we are continuing to adapt to ensure our visitors have a fantastic experience.” The damage to Five Mile is significant with geotechnical engineers currently carrying out investigations on the slopes and road, and this section is expected to be closed for an extended period.

HEARTFELT THANKS FOR NSW NURSES AND MIDWIVES

WNSWLHD MIDWIFE OF THE YEAR

After a year like no other, health services across NSW are coming together to show their gratitude and support for the work of our nurses and midwives.

The Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) is delighted to announce Leselle Harman as its Midwife of the Year as we celebrate International Day of the Midwife.

ACTING EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Quality, Clinical Safety and Midwifery, Jo Lemmich, said, “Leselle is a hard working Midwife and an asset to the Mudgee Health Service team. Leselle shows great initiative and innovation towards clinical education and mentoring of new staff”. The WNSWLHD Midwife of the Year is based on three sections, their demonstration and commitment to the Living Well Together Values, a commitment to the midwifery profession and the demonstration of leadership in the provision of midwifery quality care. “Leselle not only demonstrates all of the required qualities but she is also a fantastic role model to not only other midwives but staff across the hospital. “Leselle’s passion is women centred care and looking at

the family as a whole unit and adjusting her care to suit the woman’s needs”. Jo said. Over the past 12 months Leselle has been working to improve patient outcomes through educating staff and contributing to the Mudgee Maternity Clinical Review. “Leselle is a role model and mentor to new graduate midwives and students and is seen as a senior staff member in the unit who staff can always approach for direction and learning.

“We are extremely proud of Leselle, and her passion and dedication to providing excellent care for our woman”. “We would also like to thank and pay tribute to all of our hard working and dedicated midwives working across the WNSWLHD”. Jo said. In 2019/20 Budget the NSW Government committed $2.8 billion to recruit a total of 8,300 frontline health staff over the next four years, including 5,000 nurses and midwives.

acqui Cross, NSW Chief Nursing and Midwifery Officer, said May marks an important time of recognition for the 53,000 nurses and midwives working across the NSW public health system with International Day of the Midwife on 5 May, and International Nurses’ Day on 12 May. “Our nurses and midwives have been agile, resourceful and shown skill, compassion and professionalism in challenging times – I would like to personally say thank-you to each and everyone one of them for the critical work they do and the difference they make each and every day,” Ms Cross said. “It is fitting we celebrate our nurses and midwives and take the time to recognise their round-the-clock commitment, providing a vital contribution to the health and wellbeing of us all,” she added. In recognition of their role as “healing hearts” within the health service, the Healing Hearts campaign will encourage staff and the community to wear and post the blue and purple hearts, representing the colours of nursing and midwifery on social media using the hashtags #IDM2021, #IND2021 and #ExceptionalCare. Over the next two weeks throughout the Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) morning tea celebrations will be held to honour and thank the work of nurses and midwives. WNSWLHD Acting Executive Director of Quality, Clinical Safety and Nursing, Jo Lemmich expressed his appreciation

for the significant role nurses and midwives have played in the course of the past 15 months in response to the global COVID-19 pandemic. “If ever there was a time to put the commitment and compassion of our nurses and midwives on the centre stage, it is now,” Ms Lemmich said. “While many of us have been able to stay safe at home with our families, nurses have continued to come to work - for us. First in the COVID-19 testing clinics across the state and now in the delivery of vaccinations, and of course in all other areas of our health care system. In 2019/20 Budget the NSW Government committed $2.8 billion to recruit a total of 8,300 frontline health staff over the next four years, including 5,000 nurses and midwives.

BATHURST’S COMMUNITY RADIO 2MCE CELEBRATES 45 YEARS

Radio 2MCE at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst was the ﬁrst non-metropolitan community radio broadcaster in Australia and is celebrating its 45th birthday in May.

Story and Image supplied

n November 1975 the then Mitchell College of Advanced Education in Bathurst, one of the predecessor institutions of Charles Sturt University, received a special licence for educational broadcasting from the federal government and in February 1976 received the call sign 2MCE-FM. The ﬁrst test broadcasts were conducted in March 1976 and the ﬁrst broadcast was a few weeks later on 8 May. The present 2MCE station manager Ms Lisa Mclean said, “The underpinning ethos of public broadcasting at the time of establishing 2MCE was to ‘ … encourage the introduction of new ideas into the community through direct community participation in operating it’. “Since then the station has evolved and engaged a wide spectrum of the

Bathurst and Orange communities presenting a diverse range of programs – from feminist history, nostalgic music, the ‘Talking Newspaper’, community news and information, and new Australian music, to name a few.” Ms McLean said a major factor in the success and longevity of 2MCE is the dedication of the station’s community volunteers. “Our community and student volunteers are the heart and soul of the radio station,” she said. “Their commitment to broadcast professionalism and presenting great music, information and entertainment, as well as local stories, is something our entire community can be very proud of. “While we can access news from around the world, it’s the news and stories from around the corner and hearing our own voices which becomes even more important.” Ms McLean said for more than four

decades the station has provided a practical training experience for generations of broadcast professionals. “Our community volunteers also support the Charles Sturt University students who work in the station, and vice versa,” she said. “Seeing these groups support each other in community broadcasting is one of the joys of being part of 2MCE and is something special and great

for a community radio station located in a University.” Ms McLean said during May the station will be broadcasting birthday messages and memories from the archives and encouraging listeners to become members of the station. There will be a special on-air event celebrating the milestone later in May and photos from the archives across 2MCE’s social media platforms.

“A special thanks to the communities of Bathurst and Orange – and everywhere in between and beyond – for their ongoing support of 2MCE and our community and student volunteer presenters and station workers,” Ms McLean said. “Here’s to the next 45 years.” To get involved in the station, go to 2MCE.org and click on ‘About’ to ﬁnd out how.

PCYC AND NEWCASTLE PERMANENT CHARITABLE FOUNDATION SHOW THEIR GRIT FOR LOCAL YOUTH MENTAL HEALTH PCYC NSW and Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation are joining forces to support youth mental health across Bathurst and regional NSW.

he partnership was announced during Youth Week with PCYC and Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation launching PCYC’s GRIT (Growthmindset Resilience Intervention for Teenagers) program in Bathurst. PCYC NSW CEO, Dominic Teakle, said statistics show that one in four young Australians lives with a mental illness and one in three experiences moderate to high level of psychological distress. “The GRIT program integrates speciﬁc mental resilience skills training, with nutrition education, and physical ﬁtness. The GRIT program is being piloted amongst 12-18 year olds in 2021 and has been co-designed with young people and

youth mental health matter experts.” “It will complement the NSW Police Commissioner’s RISEUP strategy to reconnect disengaged youth to family, education, culture, employment and community,” he added. To mark its milestone 500th project, Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation is investing $125,000 to enable PCYC to launch and pilot GRIT across regional NSW. “Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation has a long-standing partnership with PCYC in Bathurst and across regional NSW. In fact they were one of the ﬁrst organisations to receive a grant from us 17 years ago. So, we couldn’t think of a better organisation or program to bestow our 500th funding grant on,” said Jennifer Leslie,

Chair of the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Board. “For the PCYC program to make an even bigger impact on improving youth mental health in the region, more funds are needed. This is why the Charitable Foundation and PCYC are calling on local residents, businesses, sports teams and community groups to match our donation through getting sponsored to enter the Star Jump Challenge,” Jennifer added. Bathurst PCYC staﬀ, kids, Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation Executive Oﬃcer Graham Batten, Newcastle Permanent employees, families and friends have already joined the cause, alongside a host of regional PCYC Clubs and personalities including boxer Tim

@bathurstcitylife

Tszyu, Sydney Kings Basketballers, former NRL footballer Mark Geyer and Paralympian Swimmer Ellie Cole. “The Star Jump Challenge is a fun way for us to generate awareness around Youth Mental Health and ultimately the funds to help combat its impact through the GRIT program. I believe this program will make a big impact here in Bathurst and surrounding communities,” said David Hitchick, PCYC Bathurst Club Manager. “A resilience building program, purpose built to support the most vulnerable youth in our communities will be a game-changer here in Bathurst. It’s something we have needed for a long time, so it will be great to be able to oﬀer it to those who need it most here at our local PCYC.” Joining the Star Jump Challenge is a fun and easy way to improve your ﬁtness while helping the Charitable

Foundation and PCYC raise funds to support youth mental health in the Bathurst region. “We need support to make sure this program gets off the ground here. You don’t need to be super fit or a star jump champion to get involved and make a difference: every single star jump and dollar raised will help Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation and PCYC to raise further funds and awareness about this intervention focused youth mental health initiative,” Graham said. “I’ve already clocked up 3000 star jumps and others in our team are aiming for hundreds a day. I’d love the community to sign up or donate to help us raise enough funds to match our $125,000 Charitable Foundation pledge, so that we can really see the GRIT program expand its reach and positive impact on the mental health of our local youth.” Over 1000 people have already signed up to star jump and help match the funds donated by the Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation to raise funds for GRIT. “We are delighted Newcastle Permanent Charitable Foundation is supporting the Star Jump Challenge to help raise vitally needed funds for GRIT, PCYC’s new life-changing mental health initiative,” said PCYC NSW CEO Dominic Teakle. “Never before have so many teenagers, and pre-teenagers experienced anxiety, depression and other mental health challenges. By adding a mental wellness program into PCYCs across NSW, we will be able to help young people build resilience and grit, and an optimistic approach to daily life.” For more details on the PCYC Star Jump Challenge, how to sign up, and the GRIT pilot program visit: www. starjumpchallenge.org.au/

ABOVE: Library Assistants Sarah Jones and Belinda Vanderhel preparing for Library and Information Week and Law Week events

RUNNING FROM 17-23 May, both Library and Information Week and Law Week are annual events aimed at highlighting the free resources available at public libraries. The week of celebrations will kick off with a free workshop called ‘Your Money and the Law’ on Monday 17 May at 1.30pm. Presented by Legal Aid Orange, ‘Your Money and the Law’ will introduce the organisations and resources local residents can access to help with common money problems, such as like being chased for money, being owed money and borrowing money. This presentation will be supported by a pop-up display of resources from the Find Legal

Answers service, which covers topics ranging from family and relationships law, wills and estates, work and employment to neighbour disputes, housing issues, the environment and much more. On Tuesday 18 May at 12pm, Bathurst bookworms should not miss ‘What to Read Next?’- a workshop that will reveal the special tricks, tips and resources librarians use to help people decide what books they will enjoy. This will be followed by a Bathurst Family History Group Drop-In Session from 1-3pm., where you can get advice on how to research your family history. A highlight of the week will be the ever-popular National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS)

on Wednesday 19 May at 10.45am. NSS is an annual event held by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) where a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously around the country. This year’s event promises to be ‘out of this world’ with a special guest reader, astronaut Dr Shannon Walker, who will be reading a book from the International Space Station!

MID WEST RUGBY LEAGUE Story and Photos by John Fitzgerald

ortland Colts confirmed their benchmark status in the Wallerawang Landscaping Cup with an 18-10 win over CSU Mungoes in the third-round match at Kremer Park. Last year’s grand finalist pushed the Colts all game after leading 4-nil at the end of the first quarter but still taking 15 minutes to score first points. In the second quarter Portland dominated field position but CSU had kept the Colts scoreless for 30 minutes, the longest it has taken

Portland to get points on the board this season before Ethan Barker was across, converted by Neville Turner who the previous week kicked 11 goals against the Bears. The home side led 6-4 into the third quarter after Liam Walsh broke through for a try, the score extended to 12-4 with Turner’s conversion. Walsh was sin binned soon afterwards and during his absence CSU scored a converted try by Blake Schaefer to close the gap to 12-10 going into the final quarter. Sustained attack by the Colts allowed Nick Miller to get across for the final try of the game, again

converted by Turner for a welldeserved win. Both fullbacks had excellent games including fielding highflying fifth-tackle kicks from their opposition. CSU’s Callum Flanagan had a long on-field discourse with his players immediately after the game, claiming he wasn’t disappointed with the Mungoes’ performance but pointing out a number of points from the game that will need to be addressed before their next match against Orange Warriors. The Warriors defeated Lithgow Bears at Orange

58-nil, while Oberon Tigers had the round’s bye. Portland and Orange head the ladder together on 6 points and Orange will host this Saturday’s match of the round between the two ladder leaders. In leaguetag CSU Mungals won 18-6 over Portland, Warriors defeated Bears, and Kandos was overrun by Oberon. CSU with 5 points leads Portland on the ladder by one point, with Orange another point behind. Pictured: Left, CSU Mungals’ Sam Hurst kicks on the fifth. Right, Mungoes’ Zac Hunt runs the ball up

ROVING LEO REPORT FROM: MY DESK | STORY FILED: SQUEAK

TAKING A ‘SOUNDCHECK’ TO LEARN NEW SKILLS A new local project supporting young people in the Bathurst region is one of 35 initiatives across the state to receive a share in the NSW Government’s $1.5 million Youth Opportunities grants program.

ember for Bathurst Paul Toole said the headspace Bathurst “Soundcheck” project has received NSW Government support of $38,130 and is being described as a great way to bring young people together. “The Youth Opportunities program helps young people build life skills, employment pathways, and nurture good wellbeing and mental health,” he said. Jake Byrne, headspace Bathurst community engagement oﬃcer, said local young people interested in music are invited to join the Soundcheck program – a free group for 12-25-year olds wanting to learn a new skill, or hone an existing one. “The group is something new for the team – designed to promote engagement with the centre and a social place for young people to learn new skills,” he said. “Music is a great way to bring people together. Young people will be supported by mentors from Mitchell

Conservatorium, Lifeline Central West and of course, headspace staﬀ.” Mr Byrne said participants will have the choice of a range of instruments, including drums, keyboards, electric, acoustic and bass guitars. “Listening to and creating music can be beneﬁcial for your mental health. Twenty-20 has been a tough year and we hope this new group will provide young people with something to look forward to and help build a community,” Mr Byrne said. According to Graham Sattler, executive director at the Mitchell Conservatorium, they are thrilled to be partnering with headspace on the Sound Check program. “Music is such a great platform for expressing thoughts and feelings, and helping young people to develop Instrumental, vocal and song writing skills is a real treat for our rock-based mentors Dave Webb, Todd Brownlow and myself. “We’re all about community and

this program is one that is really close to our heart.” Greg Jeﬀree from Lifeline Central West said we’re all in the habit of asking those who are struggling to reach out, which is fantastic. “However, something we’ve come to realise is that it is a huge ask for someone who is doing it tough to reach out. Instead we need to reach in and create opportunities for community to support each other and stay connected. Soundcheck is an invaluable program to ‘reach in’ via music, and I am proud to help pioneer this project,” he said. Soundcheck will be held at headspace Bathurst in Keppel Street on Monday afternoon/evenings with a free BBQ also provided. No equipment or experience is necessary. Young people interested in joining can email jake.byrne@marathonhealth.com. au or call the team on 6338 1100. headspace Bathurst thanks the NSW Government, Mitchell Conservatorium and Lifeline Central West for their support of Soundcheck.

WHAT THE KIDS WANT SO, AN INTERACTIVE children’s fun idea – to draw your favourite Bathurst thing on the library window. Go and have a look, and have a think about what’s going on. Here’s a clue ….. Just one of the fun images is shown in our column this week. But they are all about Bathurst’s low rise heritage buildings and

streetscapes, plus trees and plants and people. Why is it so? Our children and grandchildren are the future, and so are the ones that “futureprooﬁng” affects the most, and they should have a say. There is no doubt young people see the future our living dinosaurs want to create, and want something better for

Is there any more?’’ asked Phil of the prison guard. “No, that’s it’’ muttered the prison guard. Clang. ‘’Move along’’ called a prison another guard to a handful of prisoners, one of them being a mouse. They had just had their mugshots taken and were now being escorted to their cells. One by one they were put in their cells but the mouse, well, he was already thinking on how he could get out of here. For this mouse was not your standard criminal mouse: no, no, no, no. This mouse was a criminal mastermind. ‘’Here’s your cell’’ stated the guard. “It’s a bit damp in here and it’s cold. You got anything else?” observed the mouse. ‘’You better get used to it as you are going to be here for a long time’’ replied the guard. ‘’Oh, we’ll see about that’’ hissed the mouse ‘’Ha! You just keep on dreaming’’ laughed the guard as he locked the door and walked away. ‘’You’ll never get out of here’’ called the guard. ‘Oh, you’ll see, you’ll see’’ smirked the mouse as a dark, sinister and evil smile spread across his face. Things were about to change. Until next time Leo Roving Reporter

CHRISTMAS IN JULY IT’S BEEN A tough year for everyone and last Christmas was unlike any other. So here at Carillon, we think we need to have another go at raising the Christmas cheer!

their city, on a human liveable scale. Make sure young people have a chance to have a say on the Town Centre CBD proposals – perhaps defer the proposals until a new council undertakes a young peoples’ survey. Please lodge a submission with Council before 24 May on your reaction to council’s Futureprooﬁng plan.

Ring! Ring! ‘Next!” boomed Phil. Phil was your average middleaged man; he does average stuff and lives an average life. But the place where Phil works is anything but average. Phil works at the highest security prison in the world. The location is classified, how many prisoners there is classified, the name is classified, even what they eat there is classified. So everyday Phil drives in, walks to the office, signs in, gives his fingerprint, blood sample and DNA and starts his day. One of Phil’s usual jobs was to take the mugshots of the newly arrested prisoners, but today was different. The prisoners came in like they were told to, like any other day but among them was a mouse, yes, a mouse. In some way Phil was not surprised. Yes, it was a mouse but compared to the stuff that went on behind these walls a mouse did not make a difference. When it came up to the mouse’s turn to be processed the guards had to stack some boxes on a stool to get the mouse in the camera’s viewfinder. Click. ‘Please turn to the left’’ called Phil. The mouse grunted rudely and turned to the left. Click. “Ok, good. Now turn to the right’’ replied Phil. And so, again the mouse grunted and turned to the right. ‘’All good.

Thought of the week … “another better way forward, Bathurst”

Thor, Saturday 15th May on Prime7 at 7:30pm

In the Marvel Universe - nothing is more fun than the Thor franchise. Except maybe Ironman but as Aussies - Chris Hemsworth as Thor is a legend! And luckily was able to continue his role in several future Marvel flicks. Also stars Sir Anthony Hopkins, Natalie Portman (who we will see as Lady Thor in cinemas soon) and Tom Hiddleston. The warrior Thor (Hemsworth) is cast out of the fantastic realm of Asgard by his father Odin (Hopkins) for his arrogance and sent to Earth to live amongst humans. Falling in love with scientist Jane Foster (Portman) teaches Thor much-needed lessons, and his newfound strength comes into play as a villain from his homeland sends dark forces toward Earth.
