Lismore Connections NSWRA (NSW Reconstruction Authority) Watch Facebook page posted an intriguing advertisement from seek.com the other day. At $1,000 per day, with super, the three-day-aweek job states a ‘Property Officer is required by a NSW Government department based in Lismore… The Property Officer provides expert administrative and contract management services to support the operation of a significant development corporation established following the 2022 floods across the Lismore and Northern Rivers region of NSW.’ The Echo drudges have decided to retrain! One local has been having trouble with their windscreen wipers which started falling to pieces on both their cars! ‘Sometimes it would just be the ends of the rubber blades that would split, then I had a few rubbers that went missing altogether. ‘After taking a new set of wipers back to an auto shop for the third time, the manager informed me that the crows in the area had been doing the same thing to others, and he was out of my wiper size as well. ‘I realised immediately that he was spot on. I had often seen crows hanging around the cars, but I thought that they had only been pecking at themselves in the mirrors. ‘So I searched for a way to deter them by covering the wiper blades with a blanket or similar. ‘So instead, I thought that I would be ingenious, and put some “stop and grow nail biting solution” on the end of the rubbers – partial success.
Thirty Female Tradie graduates celebrated completing the Breaking the Barriers – Women in Trades at The Paddock Project on Friday, November 30 with mentor Brenton Williams and founder Penny Petridi. The six-month project provided a practical building skills program with ongoing mentoring, to encourage and support more women to enter the building industry. The program concluded with a final build at Queer Family house in Mullumbimby which saw the women build a new fire pit area, with screening and seating. ‘The program has already proven very successful, with several women already entering the workforce and/or starting their own businesses. Given the shortage of building industry workers and high need in the region, this is a great outcome, but it’s not the only one,’ explained Female Tradie founder Penny Petridis. Photo Jeff Dawson But the final cure was a dab of Deep Heat right on the end of the rubber itself. 100 per cent success! ‘No dead crows – but quite a few that headed off straight over to our dam for a drink, or a beak and mouth gargle!’ It looks like the hoverboards we were promised are not going to materialise so how about magnet and laser-driven, water-fueled, catalysed, plasma fusion energy cells for domestic energy production please? With the Ray-Ban Meta collection being able to ‘listen, call, capture and livestream – all with your phone in your pocket’ some might think it’s quite creepy that anyone wearing Ray-Ban glasses might be livestreaming your face-to-face interaction without you knowing.
