Proudly Independent LOCAL NEWS AND EVENTS FOR THE LITHGOW REGION

3 October 2014

Lithgow RAFT (Remote area fire fighting team) recently getting there Helicopter Winching qualification.

Stay Safe this Bushfire Season The long weekend is a great time to get out with the family and enjoy the sun, but while we revel in the warmer weather, it’s worth remembering that during October last year the region was dealing with major fires.

The Bush Fire Danger Period began on 1 October, and the NSW Rural Fire Service is reminding residents of Lithgow to be careful with fire, and to be prepared.

“We urge all residents in the Lithgow area to be vigilant and extremely careful with fire during the Bush Fire Danger Period,” said Superintendent Tom Shirt.

The hotter and drier conditions of spring and summer mean fires are more likely to start and spread quickly. From the 1st October until the end of the Bush Fire Danger Period, people wishing too

light a fire in the open will require a permit. The permits, which are free, and can be obtained from your local fire station or Fire Control Centre.

“When conditions are particularly bad, such as on days of Severe, Extreme or Catastrophic Fire Danger, the NSW RFS may declare a a Total Fire Ban, prohibiting the lighting of any fire in the open, even if you have a fire permit,” said Tom Shirt.

He added, “Every resident should have a Bush Fire Survival Plan so they know what to do on days of increased fire danger and can immediately put their plan into action if their home is threatened by fire.”

A season without any bush fires at all is a dream we will probably never achieve, so preparing for fires now is an important step in being ready for the summer to come.

From

the Editor Let’s talk about football. Last weekend I watched my beloved Panthers run out onto the field with all the hopes we might be one game of football away from a Grand Final.

However, those 80 minutes of football were some of the most painful I’ve ever had to watch. The Panthers have been the pretenders, according to most, throughout the second half of the season, but they have kept turning up and playing quality football. Until last weekend’s game.

It may have been nerves. It may have been the end of their run. Whatever it was, they seemed desperate, unorganised and chaotic - and the team that doesn’t play together, doesn’t win together.

It’s just a football match and I will get over it eventually, it did get me thinking about how people working together achieve great things, while people working against each other usually achieve nothing at all.

I have been thinking for a little while now that there are some great ideas and initiatives out there in our community that deserve to be heard, but often times they are dismissed because the people trying to get the ideas across might not be the most popular or perhaps the public think they are a little crazy.

Well here’s a tip: It’s the crazy ones that change the world, because they are crazy enough to think they can.

With this in mind we have begun the initial planning of a festival of ideas. The date is yet to be confirmed, but the vision is clear: Give people a platform to talk about their ideas, TED style talks presenting out of the box thinking on any issue at all facing this region. Once I have all the details sorted we will be able to let you know just where and when you can come along and get involved.

But in the meantime, enjoy your long weekend, get out and enjoy this region we call home and GO THE BUNNIES (seeing as how I can’t cheer for my Panthers… next year boys.)

Cheers, Rich Evans * If you are unsure what I mean by TED talks, check out TED.com.

Your Say The sale of the old TAFE building on Mort Street is imminent and another Lithgow icon faces an uncertain future. The ‘Lithgow Ratepayers’ are spreading rumours that the building might be knocked down for an extension of Council’s Mort Street car park. Some people have ‘eyed’ the timber in the 90 year old building; others can see the importance of the ‘old lady’.

I want to urge everyone involved to try and save the former TAFE building. The building is of a very solid construction and it offers many different uses. The top floor could be turned into 10-14 inner city apartments.

The ground floor could house more apartments or it could be developed for commercial or community uses all of which would fit into Council’s revitalisation plans of the central business district.

The building is a survivor from the time when Lithgow was a much busier place. It forms part of our heritage and if it disappears so does a part of us.

All it needs is an investor with a vision and supportive council administrators.

The possibility of seeing this building knocked down would break my heart – it would be another nail in the coffin which buries our heritage and environment.

Thomas Ebersoll Editor’s note: The local agent managing the sale suggests anybody purchasing the building will not be knocking it down as the structure itself is of significant value and possible to redevelop for a number of designs depending on the desired outcome for the purchaser.

A letter in response to the article published in the Mercury on Thurs 25/9/14: Does the Former Portland Hospital Complex have a Community Role?

First, I’d like to say that there have already been some in the Portland Community who have been acting on

this matter. It is good to hear that others also have an interest, but it would be nice to coordinate a community action, and not just read about other’s interests.

As a resident of Portland, an Architect by profession, and as the Chairperson of Lithgow Community Housing the issues at stake - preserving buildings where possible, homelessness, housing and development issues - are all of great concern to me.

The old Portland Hospital and Colman House are an insightful example of abandoned urban spaces in the local region. They showcase, on the one hand, the possibility of actually doing something, and contrast it against the difficulty of making any progress on the other.

Several actions have already been taken. In particular: Lithgow Community Housing has written several letters to Not-for-Profit Housing Agencies, State politicians, Ministers & the Premier, and a meeting has been held in Bathurst between Paul Toole, a member of Lithgow Council, the Manager of Lithgow Community Housing and myself. The meeting occurred on Friday 15/11/2013 - now some time ago.

The original line of enquiry was to suggest that Colman house, then recently vacated, and still more or less operational, could be used as a group home for homeless people, if the Nepean Blue Mountains Health District would lease it to Lithgow Community Housing.

The response that came back was that they were not interested in leasing the building. They were proposing to sell the building. Investigations have since revealed that the process to sell may take many years.

There has been a considerable amount of correspondence but, in short, the State government has not responded well. The matter on our part is still being progressed in a minor way.

To buy the buildings and carry out the more significant building works now required would be beyond the current capacity of Lithgow Community Housing. A partner or extra government support would be required and there is little sign of it being offered at present.

New blood test gratefully received More than 250 Blue Mountains and Lithgow residents have participated in a pilot project where a blood test is offered as an option for bowel cancer screening alongside a traditional “stool” test. The pilot program makes the new blood test an option for those people who can’t or won’t screen for bowel cancer using a traditional test.

Bowel cancer is Australia’s second biggest cancer killer.

Westfund CEO Grahame Danaher was the first person in the region to be offered the option of a blood test as part of a comprehensive screening package.

“Despite all the prompting from my wife, I was just never going to do the stool test so the blood test was a good option for me,” said Danaher.

Local health insurer Westfund Health is collaborating with Clinical Genomics in the pilot where Westfund members are encouraged to screen for bowel cancer. The conventional stool test is still the preferred test but many can’t or won’t take the test. A new blood test – the first of its kind in Australia - is provided as an additional option for bowel cancer screening. All eligible members were sent a letter with a free stool test and the option to do the blood test.

Westfund members who want to take the blood test can make an appointment at a local Collection Centre. They then take their forms in and a blood sample is taken. All members are encouraged to consult their GP if they want to talk further about the test.

Local residents who are not Westfund members can call Clinical Genomics (1800 55 65 75) for information about how to access either the stool test or the blood test. Whether eligible members choose to participate in the new blood test or screen with

Then the blood test is for those people who can’t or won’t screen with a stool test”.

According to Grahame Danaher, the involvement of Westfund in the pilot is all about trying to keep their members healthy. “Based on the prevalence of bowel cancer and the number of Westfund members in the Blue Mountains there are likely to be quite a few out there who have the early stages of undiagnosed bowel cancer. We want to help those people identify the existence of that cancer as early as possible so they have the broadest range of treatment options available to them. Early detection of bowel cancer is key treating and conquering it,” said Mr Danaher.

If you’re interested in taking the test, contact the Healthscope test centre at: Pathology Suite, 11 Bridge Street, Lithgow Phone: 02 6353 1073 Dr Larry LaPointe (CEO) and Kim Thompson (Laboratory Scientist) review cancer screening test results at the Clinical Genomics laboratory in North Ryde.

the existing stool test, Westfund will pay the out-ofpocket costs of these bowel cancer screening options.

The blood test costs $125 for Blue Mountains and Lithgow residents who are not Westfund members.

Clinical Genomics CEO Dr Larry LaPointe says the company is excited to be working with Westfund on the pilot project. “The blood test is primarily intended for people who cannot, or will not, carry out recommended screening with a faecal immunochemical test – that is the stool test,” said Dr LaPointe. “The best place to start for people aged 50 or over who are due for screening is the stool test.

Lithgow Tourism showcased in New Zealand

Last week Lithgow Council Tourism Manager Kellie Barrow attended a New Product workshop in New Zealand hosted by Destination New South Wales.

Lithgow’s very own Blue Mountains Lithgow and Oberon Tourism regional ambassador Kellie Barrow was selected to attend a New Product Workshop in Auckland New Zealand last week.

The workshop was run by Destination New South Wales and aims to showcase the abundance of tourism products New South Wales has to offer to key New Zealand wholesalers, travel agents and New Zealand media.

Lithgow Mayor Maree Statham said, “this was a huge vote of confidence for Lithgow and shows the important role we play in promoting Tourism for

our region.” Mayor Maree Statham went on to say, “I congratulate Kellie on being selected to represent the region in New Zealand”.

Tourism Manager Kellie Barrow said “It was a great honor to be able to promote the Blue Mountains, Lithgow and Oberon region in New Zealand. The time was spent meeting with New Zealand wholesalers who sell our area through their travel agencies.” Ms Barrow went on to say “The New Zealand agents were very keen to hear about the events in the region and it was pleasing to hear from the agents about how many visitors from New Zealand stay in our area for the Bathurst Race weekend and their focus in growing this market to include longer pre and post Race weekend itineraries.”

Revitalising the main street CBD has been discussed a lot in recent issues of the Village Voice.

It is a great initiative by Lithgow Council to inspire some new found pride in our CBD landscape and give it a new lease of life.

Glenda Anthes, owner of Intimate Dreams, has decided to take this a step further and is having the awning of her shop redone and restoring some previous architecture that was removed during past changes to the Main Street.

“We are putting back in the posts that were originally part of the awning, they were taken out a number of years back, but I just wanted to return the awning to it’s original state as best we can,” said Glenda.

Glenda’s parents owned the building prior to her and the shop has seen a number of uses over the years as a wool shop, toy shop and now as a lingerie, sleepwear and ladies wear shop.

Hopefully the restoration of the facade will inspire

other shopowners to get out the paint brush, or pressure washer, or perhaps even undertake some building work themselves and return the Main Street to it’s former glory.

Something we can all be proud of.

Intimate Dreams is open during the renovations: Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm and Saturday mornings 9am - 12 noon. Pop in and see Glenda and take advantage of her special sale prices running whilst the renovation is on.

Lithgow a Proud Supporter of Keep NSW Beautiful Lithgow supported NSW’s premier organisation for litter reduction and environmental sustainability, Keep New South Wales Beautiful, at its annual fundraising dinner.

The aims of KNSWB have been to work with very passionate individuals and groups across NSW to educate, motivate and reward communities to create sustainable and a more beautiful environment. Lithgow has been a long and proud supporter of KNSWB and has won many awards during this time and which culminated in Lithgow being NSW’s and Australia’s Tidiest Town in 2011.

Recently the annual Premier’s Dinner 2014 was held as KNSWB’s major fundraising event and to encourage participation in KNSWB’s latest program ‘Take the Pledge’. The Dinner was named and attended by the NSW Premier, the Hon. Mike Baird.

“I am very proud of the role that Lithgow has played with KNSWB,” said Lithgow City Mayor, Councillor Maree Statham. “Our local tidy towns organisations have done wonderful work in helping to beautify the local area”.

“We are well represented by our hard working and dedicated local tidy towns organisations of Cullen Bullen, Portland, Rydal and Lithgow” said Mayor Statham.

“To help support and promote the very worthy purpose of KNSWB I attended the Premier’s Dinner 2014 together with Councillors Higlett and Pilbeam”.

“Premier Baird is a proud supporter of KNSWB but is also a proud supporter of Lithgow and has

Councillor Ross Higlett and Mayor Maree Statham

help us greatly with our efforts to improve our community, especially with his support for funding for the Lithgow Aquatic Centre.”

IS IT TIME TO GET THAT FRESH SPRING LOOK?

“With the annual Tidy Towns Awards to be held shortly I wish our local tidy towns organisations well with their entries,” concluded Mayor Statham.

By Irene Bowie-Johnson This year, the Portland Colts took the season off, taking the time to get their club back on its feet. The time has been well spent.

As well as rebuilding the team, they’ve also renovated the facilities at Kremer Park in Portland.

They’ve done a great job, working with Lithgow Council to see a complete renovation of the change rooms and canteen facilities at the park.

The dressing rooms have been completely renovated with new flooring, showers and hot water systems.

The canteen has also been completely redone with new bench tops and the walls have been painted.

The council also provided brand new goal posts for the field - in time for Portland to host the preseason knock out earlier this year - ensuring the playing pitch is in excellent condition for all future games.

The facilities at the showground are now some of the best in the central west and put the Colts in a good position to celebrate 100 years in 2015.

“The upgrade will also mean a lot for the community,” said David Millmore, a member of Portland Colts. “Kremer park is a great location for local sporting and community groups, and the renovation will benefit everyone who uses the facilities.”

The Portland Colts would like to extend special thanks to Terry Nolan at Lithgow Council, and also to the Mayor Maree Statham for their help in upgrading of the change rooms and canteen facilities at the sportsground.

The Portland Colts will begin training in December 2014 and their AGM is to be held in in the coming weeks.

Public Library Infrustructure Grants

State Member Paul Toole today encouraged local councils in the Bathurst electorate to apply for funding under the Government’s new Public Library Infrastructure Grants program.

“The NSW Government has increased public library funding in the 2014-2015 NSW Budget to help public libraries better meet the changing demands of local communities and this is a terrific opportunity for our region to improve and extend library facilities,” Mr Toole said.

This program will provide an additional $14.96 million over 4 years to assist councils to improve their public library buildings, spaces and informational technology.

Minister for the Arts, Troy Grant said, “I’m thrilled the Public Library Infrastructure Grants Program will help councils better meet the growing and varied needs of communities and support the 35 million people who visit NSW public libraries.”

NSW State Librarian & Chief Executive, Dr Alex

Byrne said libraries are highly valuable and relevant to communities across the State. “Applications that position libraries as community hubs, including appropriate co-locations with other community facilities, and projects that increase public space and technology, are particularly encouraged under the program,” Dr Byrne said.

The following priority areas have been identified: • library buildings and spaces; • mobile libraries; • major information and communications technology projects; and • cooperative library development activities.

The deadline for Grant Program submissions is Friday 31 October 2014. For more information go to: http://www.sl.nsw. gov.au/services/public_libraries/funding/ grants.html

A High Tea for a cause This year, the women of Lithgow will have the opportunity to join thousands of Australians in fundraising efforts for Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia, at the inaugural ‘High Tea for Hamlin’ event, Saturday 29th November.

Pregnancy and childbirth should be a joyful experience for any expecting mother and her family, however too often this becomes a nightmare for many women in rural Ethiopia when adequate medical care has not been available. There is a medical condition called obstetric fistula which many of these women suffer as a result of prolonged obstructed labour. Pregnant women in rural Ethiopia have limited access to emergency obstetric services, with the nearest health facility sometimes a twoday walk from their homes. If they face obstructed labour, they will be in agony for up to a week. These women nearly always lose their baby and suffer horrific internal damage causing urinary or faecal incontinence, or sometimes both. These women then become outcasts in their society. Many of these patients, whose life has become so unbearable with sorrow and shame, wish they could die.

By raising funds together we can help see the dignity and health of these beautiful women restored through a simple surgery procedure which costs only $600. Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia is an Australian charitable organisation which raises funds exclusively for the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital where these life-changing surgeries are performed.

The hospital was founded by Drs Reg and Catherine Hamlin in 1974, two Australian doctors who moved to Ethiopia in 1959 to work as obstetricians and to start a midwifery school. More than 50 years later Dr Catherine Hamlin continues in this work and her inspirational story can be read in her autobiography

The Hospital by the River. Many of these woman living in rural areas are too poor to ever dream of being cured. Yet a new life is available to them at the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital, where the surgery is offered at no charge.

In addition to the main hospital in Addis Ababa, there are five regional centres along with the Hamlin College of Midwives. Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia understands the great need for skilled midwives who are able to assist women to have a healthy and safe pregnancy and childbirth. The Hamlin College of Midwives is an important step towards a sustainable prevention strategy for the women and girls of Ethiopia to avoid obstetric fistula in the first place. Long-term patients can also receive care and learn micro-business skills at Desta Mender, a farm and training facility, until they are able to return to their homes and villages. Further reading on Hamlin Fistula Ethiopia and its inspirational work can be found at http://www.hamlin.org.au.

To make a tax deductible donation on behalf of Lithgow’s event please go to www. hamlinfistulafundraising.com/Lithgowclc and select ‘Donate.’ The Australia-wide goal for the Spring High Tea events is to raise $200,000 to assist some of the most marginalised women in the world.

What is the attitude of a great team member?

By Ben Fewtrell

There are three resources in business that you need to manage and understand to be successful: one of them is time, the other is money and the third is team. I think people undervalue what a good team member is and how to identify them, keep them, and look after them.

I have my own 20 point checklist for a great team member – here’s the most important 5 tips that may help you understand what it is you’re looking for when you’re looking for a great team member.

1. THEY ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESSES SUCCESS:

The first thing you’re looking for is that they want to see the business grow. As a leader, you have to let the team know what your goals are and where you’re heading. Let them know the challenges you’re having and exactly what it is you’re trying to achieve…involve your team and they will grow your business for you.

2. THEY ARE POSITIVE ABOUT NEW IDEAS:

The second thing is a positive attitude towards new ideas and strategies. You want people who are going to be positive about trying new things and

understand not everything is going to work. Henry Ford said, ‘Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, whichever way, you’re right.’ If a team member is negative about an idea from the get-go, it’s definitely not going to work.

put them in a position they enjoy and you’ll find people will go home and will work home at night, not because you expect it, but because they love what they do!

3. THEY WANT TO BECOME BETTER:

When you see that people are starting to make decisions, are starting to make decisions where you can almost confuse them for the owners of the business, you know you’ve got a fantastic team member. That’s an attitude that you want to reward, it’s an attitude that you want to recognize, and it’s one that you want to encourage.

They work harder on themselves than they do in their job. Now you’ll find team members that will. They’ll listen to podcasts, they’ll go to training sessions, they’ll read books, they’ll subscribe to magazines that are about being successful. They’ll just put a lot more effort in on their own personal development than another person - You’ll find those team members are the best people, because really at the end of the day, you want people who are willing to grow not just inside your business, but in their life. So you want to encourage them to go to external workshops, I would even encourage you to pay for external workshops, even if they’re not 100% related to your business or your industry. But if it’s going to help that team member lift and rise and be a better team member, then it’s a great thing!

4. THEY GO ABOVE AND BEYOND:

They do more than they’re asked to do, they go the extra mile! This is a real, true indicator if someone is loving their job. If you want people to be happy,

Dr Derek Allan is pleased to open doors in Lithgow and looks forward to positively contributing to the community. As an orthodontist, Dr Derek provides braces, invisalign, plates and appliances to straighten teeth and perfect smiles.

An orthodontist is a trained, experienced dentist who has completed an additional university degree to become an orthodontist. Orthodontists treat their patients in a holistic way, ensuring that any treatment is best suited to a patient’s needs. Orthodontists are efficient at achieving amazing smile results because they see thousands of cases each year. Chances are they’ve seen a handful of cases just like yours and know exactly how to get the best results.

“It’s a fun and really rewarding job,” says Dr Derek. “We create beautiful smiles, which builds confidence in patients and makes them happy. For some, it literally changes their lives.”

The ideal age for an assessment is 8-9 years of age. In some cases early treatment is recommended to prevent future problems. Often, treatment will begin during the early teenage years. Dr Derek is an expert at treating both children and adults, he sees patients from age 7 to 70. Anyone of any age who wants to improve their teeth or smile should call for a consultation.

The new practice is modern, digitally advanced and friendly, so that every patient visit is a

comfortable, positive experience. Located on Bridge Street in the Ground Floor of the Lithgow Medical Clinic, patients and parents will appreciate the close proximity to schools, TAFE and Main Street.

Aside from the welcoming experience and expert treatment, Dr Derek believes that orthodontics should be affordable. All of his fees are below the NSW and national averages (Source: Australian Society of Orthodontists Fee Survey 2013). Lithgow Orthodontics will work with patients to provide reasonable payment plans.

Dr Derek Allan completed his Dental degree at University of Sydney (Honours) and his Orthodontic degree at the University of Melbourne. He is an active member of international dental and orthodontic societies, to maintain a modern treatment approach.

By Catriona Swan, Fitzgerald Swan The great thing about bathrooms is that there is so much you can do to improve the visual appeal of the space without spending a fortune. With a few cosmetic changes you can improve the look and feel of a bathroom and potentially improve the overall value of your property.

As with any good renovation, research is vital to achieving a successful outcome.

Before you begin, consider who is going to use it. The functionality of of a family bathroom can be quite different to an ensuite.

Choose a colour scheme that ties in with the rest of the house and creates a natural flow from one section of the home to another. Using a cohesive palette creates a seamless fresh look, and neutral colour schemes are always safe if you’re planning to sell. White is a classic and timeless colour in any bathroom.

Look at trends- what is currently in fashion in terms of colours, textures and styles and feature these in the accessories such as towels, candles, soaps and toiletries. This is particularly relevant if you are planning on presenting the property for sale.

There are websites such as www.houzz.com and www.pinterest.com where you can source ideas and inspiration and formulate your “look”. Create an ideas and inspiration board to refer back to as you progress with your renovation.

Fittings and fixtures can make a huge difference in a bathroom. Upgrading taps, and towel rails

can give an instant facelift to a tired bathroom.

Mirrors provide an element of luxury and can also give the illusion of more space. If retiling certain configurations such as a diamond pattern can visually push the eye outward which increases the perceived size of the space.

One of the most expensive elements in renovating a bathroom can be the plumbing and electrical costs. For a simple and cost effective bathroom makeover keep the layout the same and work at upgrading the fittings and visual appeal.

Recycle where possibleretain anything that is in good condition or that can be cleaned or upcycled. Update power point covers with sleek stainless steel for a modern look. Ensure lighting is adequate and thoroughly clean dirty heat lights, exhaust fan filters and mouldy silicone and grout.

There are products on the market to paint over old tired and outdated tiles and laminates as well as bathtubs. Get to know what’s available in your local hardware store as well as discount tile outlets, online auctions, and seconds shops.

Cosmetic renovations to an ugly duckling bathroom can be a creative, satisfying and enjoyable way to increase your properties value and discover the beautiful swan hiding within.

VILLAGE VOICE TV GUIDE - Sat 4 - Fri 10 Pick of the Week WEDNESDAY on ONE at 9.30pm

This week is a great week for movies and television. If you love a good movie then I’d encourage you to give No Country For Old Men a go - it’s not easy viewing, but it is good.

There is also a guest review by Thomas Evans.

Thanks Thomas!

Happy viewing, Irene

This Week’s Picks AV 15+ themoviedb.org

No Country For Old Men

By Irene Bowie-Johnson

Rotten Tomatoes Rating:

Guns, drugs and money in 1980s Texas.

At first glance No Country For Old Men appears to be just another period thriller, set in a time now past. But, No Country For Old Men, like many of the Coen brothers’ films subverts the genre, bringing their trademark wry humour - and a decent slab of violence - to what is ultimately an interrogation of modern American.

The film starts with a Vietnam veteran, Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), discovering two million dollars while wandering through the aftermath of a Texas drug deal gone horribly wrong. In a moment of weakness, he decides to abscond with the cash. A decision that sets of a violent chain reaction. Moss finds himself running from an enigmatic killer, while the disillusioned Sheriff Bell (Tommy Lee Jones) struggles to contain the rapidly escalating violence...

No Country For Old Men is pitch perfect as a thriller, offering the perfect level of suspense and fear, even as it substantially subverts the conventional model.

The direction is impeccable. No Country For Old

WHO SHOULD SERVICE YOUR VEHICLE?

Men is masterfully shot and designed, with brilliant sound editing and a subtle, fantastic score.

The Coen brothers skillfully use silence to build the atmosphere. Between the bursts of visceral action the film hangs on a terrifying soundlessness The story has a nightmare quality, but the bone dry humour that is brought to the script by the Coen brothers complements it perfectly. It is fascinating to see the ways that they distilled the humour of the original story when adapting the novel by Cormac McCarthy.

The almost apocalyptic tone of the film is hard to escape, however. The escalating violence that centres around the characters seems to presage a bleak future. Watching No Country For Old Men is like watching a cloud shadow build rapidly over an otherwise empty desert landscape. Dark days are coming - and in many ways they are already here.

This may not be a film for everyone - even the humour doesn’t undercut the bleak suspense and violence - but it is a great film; gripping and thrilling in equal measure and well worth giving a go.

An underrated gem from the filmography of director Steven Spielberg, Empire Of The Sun, is a bold, ambitious movie.

Based on J.G. Ballard’s autobiography, the film stars Christian Bale as the spoiled son of rich colonial parents living in Shanghai on the eve of World War II. The Japanese invasion of Shanghai tears his life apart and separates him from his parents, forcing him to learn how to survive without a retinue of servants.

The very young Christian Bale is stunning as Jim, and the movie is both heartfelt and heartbreaking. It is a great film to watch and the uplifting end is worth the tragedy that comes before.

A lovely night at Eskbank House & Museum Last Friday night a crowd gathered at the opening of Revival, an art exhibition by Peter Donovan.

The event was opened by Professor John Dearin, who congratulated Peter on his return to the art world. This is Peter’s first exhibition in several years, and he said the exhibition was named for the ‘revival’ he’s felt artistically in the last nine months.

The evening was also the first chance to see the newly installed lights at Eskbank, which Mayor Maree Statham helped make happen, finally turned on.

VILLAGE VOICE TV GUIDE - Sat 4 - Fri 10 Gone With The Wind is a classic that has not lost any of its power to charm as it has grown older.

Set during the American Civil War, the movie shows the slow decline of the decadent - slave based - life in Southern America through the eyes of Scarlett, the rich and spoiled daughter of a plantation farmer.

Despite these grand and sweeping themes, however, the movie is at its heart a romance.

A great movie for all ages, and one of the best movies of all time, Gone With The Wind is a movie everyone should see at least once.

VILLAGE VOICE TV GUIDE - Sat 4 - Fri 10 It seems to be the season for hard hitting political drama. This time it’s channel Ten that is providing the political commentary with the new show Party Tricks.

Party Tricks is about the race between two parties in the lead up to a state party election. But it’s not all policy debate and disingenuous double-talk.

This show is about doing whatever it takes to win against the competition.

Filled with great drama, and brilliant acting, the show seems set to be a hit.

Keep an eye out for it’s premier this week.

VILLAGE VOICE TV GUIDE - Sat 4 - Fri 10 A great look at the decade that - perhaps more than any other - helped define the modern world, The Sixties is a great documentary.

This week the episode is all about television.

The Sixities helped define modern television. It was the first time people had TV in their homes, and there was constant change and development as society was influence by TV, and TV was influenced by society.

An interesting and compelling documentary, The Sixties is well worth the watch.

A touch of colour returns to the Markets

The American arborist Luther Burbank wrote “Flowers always make people better, happier and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul” “A Touch Of Colour” ( the fundraising committee for the Lithgow and District Cancer Support Group) will be at the Lions Club Community Markets, at the Lithgow Showground, Sunday October 12 from 9am, with lovely cheery flowers to brighten your day and mood.

This month we have gorgeous lavenders, a herb renowned for its magical and healing properties. The new “shock wave” petunias, which spread up to 80cm have been planted into hanging baskets and look great!

16

These baskets are selling for $16 and should bloom all summer. Lovely potted pansies, snapdragons and petunias are set to go. Some violets (the chosen flower of Shakespears’ fairies) are ready to add to the fairy garden.

We have heard a whisper that a few fairies may be dropping by, so watch out for them on Market Day. Come along to the Markets and have a chat with us, we so enjoyed meeting you all last time. Happy gardening, from “A Touch Of Colour” All monies raised by “A Touch Of Colour” goes directly to Lithgow and District Cancer Support Group, to help add a touch of colour, to the life of a person in the Lithgow District afflicted by cancer.

VILLAGE VOICE TV GUIDE - Sat 4 - Fri 10 Recommended by Thomas Evans Slugterra is a subterranean world with strange and cute creatures called slugs.

The story is about a boy called Eli Shane, Trixie, Kord the cave troll and Pronto the mole as they journey through this amazing world. Their mission is to save this world from Dr Blakk and his band of evil ghoul slugs.

It’s a comedy, action adventure, sci-fi and who doesn’t love that?

Decorating with doorknobs

7 Main Street Lithgow

(02) 6352 3383 Find us on Facebook

By Renee Difranco Did you know that door knobs can be used in so many different ways and have so many different uses? Have you ever thought of using door knobs for hanging your jewellery on or to change the look of a chest of drawers or as a piece of art?

When decorating with door knobs look at your room’s décor and the colours around it to help pick the right door knob for the job. To make something to hang your necklaces or bracelets on, all you need to do is find a nice piece of wood and if you choose to you can either leave it as is or you can paint it.

Once you have decided on the wood all you need to do now is find the right door knobs. You can mix and match or use all the same door knobs, it is up to you and your imagination. It is that easy!

Bianca Villa has a wide range of door knobs. As you can see in the photos there is a good selection of designs and colours that is sure to match the image you have created in your mind.

Picking the right knobs to change the look of that chest of draws that you have been wanting to change but weren’t sure on what to do is now easy. Just by changing the knobs can change the look completely.

Mix and match for a truly striking look.

Furniture & Homewares

Got a mirror on the wall that is a little boring?

Well just by adding a few knobs on the bottom of it, it now becomes a new piece and even better it has more than one functional now.

Kitchen knobs can be quite boring so why not give it a small face lift by installing some decorative door knobs. People will think you have installed a new kitchen when all you have done is changed the knobs.

Another use for door knobs can be to hang pictures from on your wall. Instead of using a boring hook use a door knob instead.

As you can see in the photos door knobs are a great decorating item and their uses are endless.

All you need is a little imagination and a set of door knobs and the ideas will be many. So come on down to Bianca Villa and grab a set of door knobs.

Veggie Time

By Barbara Moran Goodearth Nursery Now that we are seeing some warm weather it is time to concentrate on those veggies for summer.

We all know that home-grown vegetables taste the best, so why not grow some of your own?

First, you need to prepare your soil by giving your veggie patch a boost with some organic compost such as screened cow manure, mushroom compost, blood and bone or organic garden mix. Make sure you aerate the soil by turning the compost into your patch.

When your veggie patch has been prepared the fun starts and it is time to plant, making sure you rotate your crops.

Crop rotation sounds complicated but is fairly simple. The idea is that when you are planting a new crop simply choose a variety that is unrelated and unlike what was grown in that patch before.

Therefore, if you have removed tomatoes (a fruiting plant) replace them with something leafy like lettuce. Beans (which are a legume) can be followed

One of my favourites in the Garden are Aquilegias shown above. They come in some amazing colours and are a tough clump-forming perennial.

by carrots (a root vegetable). The reasoning behind this thinking is that certain types of plants use up more of a particular nutrient in the soil. Making regular changes to your soil helps prevent the buildup of diseases in the soil.

My Dad always told me to put a sprinkle of superphosphate in the bottom of the hole when you plant your Potatoes and it definitely gives them a surge, I tend to use more organic materials such as blood and bone as a fertilizer but my father grew great veggies as did many from that farming generation. If you can place your seed potatoes in a dark place until they shoot eyes and then plant at a depth of about 20cm and they should be planted about two weeks prior to the last frosts occurring.

What’s new this year is a “Potato/Tomato Plant” which grows potatoes under the ground and tomatoes on the graft above the ground. When your tomatoes are finished you simply dig up the potatoes. These interesting grafted plants are a bit of a novelty and should be available late October and

it is always a bit of fun to try something different.

Lettuce, Rocket, Cabbage, Carrots, Radish, Broccoli and Beetroot are all OK to plant now. If you wish to give your tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers, beans, corn and pumpkins an early start then just keep them covered for about another month until the frosts are gone as a late frost will damage your plants considerably. The local legend in Lithgow is that you do not plant your tomatoes until Melbourne Cup Day but there are a lot of Gardeners like me that don’t mind covering them for five weeks.

In the flower patch Perennials are coming into flower such as Aquilegias, Calibrachoa, Dianthus, Erysimum and the Alstroemerias are just emerging.

It is time to put your summer flowering annuals in such as Alyssum, Cosmos, Petunias, Snapdragons, Sunflowers, Linaria, Poppies and Marigolds which will all give you that colourful display over the summer months and are available as seeds or in potted colour for that instant display.

LITHGOW KARAOKE & 0422 656 011

JUKEBOX HIRE When asked to nominate their favourite choral music, most people include Gabriel Fauré’s Requiem towards the top of their list. This work of exquisite simplicity and beauty transcends the sorrow of mourning with the hope of eternal peace, and is beloved by singers and audiences around the world.

The Phoenix Choir of the Blue Mountains are delighted to present this sublime masterpiece as part of their final concert series for 2014. Their Musical Director, Rowen Fox, has created a new arrangement of the work for cello, violin/viola, organ and piano, in accordance with the spirit of Fauré’s original, much more intimate, version.

The program includes other masterworks of the French Romantic tradition: the hauntingly beautiful Pie Jesu by Maurice Duruflé, sung by well-known local mezzo-soprano Lyn Phillips; Leon Boellmann’s spectacular Suite Gothique for organ, played by Tim Kaye, who is returning to organ playing after

a very long break since he was organ scholar at Wadham College, Oxford; and what must be one of the most universally loved final-year assignments by a student of musical composition, Cantique de Jean Racine, composed by Fauré when he was just 19 years old.

The choir will perform in Lithgow on Sunday 2nd November, 3.00pm, Hoskins Memorial Uniting Church This concert is dedicated to those who were lost in The Great War. Its Belle Epoch program showcases an artistic period of great beauty and creativity which came to an abrupt end with the war’s outbreak. Join us in remembrance of this historic event.

There is little written about the history of Portland, and so it’s important to make the most of what we have.

In that spirit, Brian Jinks has edited and bound a collection of essays about Portland’s history written by Harry Holland and published in 1953.

The collection - originally entitled ‘Portland’s History Over a Period of 125 years’ - has now been retitled ‘A History Of Portland To 1953.

The collection is available at Portland Newsagent for $5.

The sun has started to shine and is now bringing us some delicious warm days...

So, why not use that at an excuse to have some amigos over to celebrate the impending summer days ahead?

A mexican fiesta is a super choice when you feel like kicking back with a pitcher of margaritas and some finger food. Here’s some simple ideas of how to put it together!

Use simple crepe or tissue paper to hang streamers, garlands, flags or fringe your favourite cake stands and platters. Think orange, pink, purple and yellow.

Put some crepe paper fringing on cardboard place mats – decorate with rubber stamps.

Brighten up your outdoor area with lanterns or honeycomb balls with lengths of coloured ribbon hanging from each one. Make the ribbon long and allow it to hang quite low down over the party area – it’s all about the mood transferring you to a Mexican cantina!

Find some rustic coloured paper and use craft hole punches to decoratively cut the paper – thread this on a string and hang delicately above the table or use it as a table

COOK STREET PLAZA LITHGOW

runner!

I’m a flower lover, so why not use a mixed flower arrangement in the centre of the table – use big, vibrant blooms and put them in a clay pot or bowl.

Quirky little homemade napkin rings simply made from a disposable aluminium tray hole punched and dented with a nail to engrave your signature design – maybe even the guests’ initials to help with allocated seating is a beautiful personal touch.

If all else fails – make margaritas! Nothing says fiesta quite like the tequila infused limey freshness of a margarita! Find your favourite recipe (mine would involve lots of lime & mint – of course tequila or triple sec), try infusing it with blended watermelon or pineapple – whatever takes your fancy, but make it on mass, in a large pitcher and serve it over ice in…. of course a salt rimmed glass. Why not also do a pina colada, blend pineapple juice and coconut cream with rum and crushed ice! This can easily be adapted to be suit children and non-drinkers – simply leave out the rum!

If it’s hot and you’re looking for something fun and different – try grown up frozen melon fruit pops.

Cut your favourite seasonal fruits like rockmelon, watermelon and honeydew melon and soak in a blend of Grand Marnier, Tequila and lime juice then freeze the fruit and skewer them with a paddle pop stick. A perfect way to greet your guests on a hot day.

Mexican style food is the kind of food that doesn’t need to be perfect – it’s really ok to prepare in advance and lay it all out the table and let people help themselves. People can come and go as they please. Lay out some tortilla chips and a good guacamole. Try a layered taco dip, use a large platter and layer refried beans, cheese, tomatoes, spring onions, chillies, sour cream and lettuce – YUM!!

SPORT

Prehabilitation

By Carol Stevens, Lithgow Physiotherapy Most people have heard of Rehabilitation after surgery; that is the undertaking of treatment including an exercise regime following surgery to help you return to pre injury strength and function.

Recent studies are now showing the effectiveness of Prehabilitation; which is the undertaking of treatment including an exercise program designed to help reduce symptoms and strengthen a particular body area BEFORE undergoing surgery to repair the injury.

For example, injuries such as damage to the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) in the knee have been shown to benefit from Prehabilitation, with better post-op results. Studies have shown that those patients who underwent Prehab, had a faster return to sport, better muscle function and greater ability to tolerate uneven surfaces (proprioception).

Another example is the patient requiring a Total Knee Replacement. With adequate Prehab, they commence their post-operative recovery with better muscle function and often less instability. This

can help get them back on their feet faster with a speedier road to recovery.

Prehabilitation is designed to: • Increase strength and range of motion of both upper and lower limbs.

• Increase balance, endurance and joint awareness.

• Increase both core abdominal and upper body strength for greater control of gait aids.

• Improve general fitness and weight control.

With all major musculoskeletal surgery, a large degree of commitment is required by the patient.

Similarly, a concerted approach to Prehabilitation provides the best launching pad to a successful recovery.

More and more Surgeons and GP’s are becoming aware of these benefits and are referring their patients for Physiotherapy Prehabilitation treatment and advice some 6-8 weeks before undergoing their operation.

If you are due for Orthopaedic Surgery, ask your doctor or contact your Physio and ask if you would benefit from Prehabilitation.

Daphne Blackley honoured at speedway opener >> Continued from Pg 28 Jodie Blackley managed one heat second placing in her Commodore but Mitchell Duggan, Lindsay Cornwell and Penrith’s Charlie Dodson put in some strong challenges but were just outclassed on the day.

Unfortunately just two drivers, Shanyn Duggan and debutant Natasha Spicer contested the Stones Pest & Weed Control Junior Class due to the other drivers moving up to other classes.

Duggan of Portland dominated in her Honda with Spicer of Orange improving rapidly lap after lap and with three new juniors joining the ranks next month racing will again be spirited.

The fabulous forty two race program not only featured the stars in the tin top stock cars but also open wheeler classes including the Quarter Midgets,Go karts, Vintage Modifieds and Vintage Speedcars.

Richard Elliott was the standout McFadden Ice Modified/Standard Go Kart driver with one heat victory and the same in the feature from Jason Elliott and Wade Pilgram.

Strong drives also came from Rickie Dicker,Gavin Lamb,Nathan Jones, Troy Smith and Peter Ellis.

Matt Roberts dominated the Vintage Supermodified racing in old Sprintcar from the Tognotti’s driven by John Edmonds, Michael Gray,

Tony Ward and Kelly Roberts.

Another blast from the past came from the Vintage Speedcars Jose Sanchez taking the feature in the ex Laurie Mathews VW from Ray Shilling in the ex Terry Holland Special and Phil Powell at the wheel of the ex Peter Bowland Daimler.

Other standout machines included Graham Campbell in the ex Ray Bissett Power Racing VW, Alan King in the ex Ken Schrader VW , Brian Linigen in the famous Winfield Wedge, Gordon Benny in the Sessco Chev 4, Harry Berry in the ex Larie Mathews Volvo,Warren Badger in the Jack Moller Holden and Jose Sanchez in “Dopey” the ex Herb Elliott Holden.

Daphne Blackley honoured at speedway opener Story & photo by Les Taylor A small gallery of spectators were entertained by a diverse forty two event program at the opening round of racing for the 2014-15 speedway season at the Kings Auto Parts Cullen Bullen Raceway last Saturday evening hosted by the Portland District Motor Sports Club.

The meeting commenced with a grand parade dedicated to the memory of the late Daphne Blackley, wife of three decade club president Ray, a lovely lady who lived and breathed everything speedway.

An emotional Ray Blackley lead the parade in the “Green Machine” push car followed by daughter Jenny, son Kevin, his wife Jodie and their son’s Martin and Andrew.

Secretary Sue Healey totally dominated the Lithgow City Council Four Cylinder Sedans to win all three heats and take victory in the ten lap feature in her Honda chased by Orange driver Travis Spicer who posted four second places in his Laser.

Also putting in strong performances were Reece Robinson of Orange,who overcame an early problem with his Corolla to claim third place in the feature, Kevin Coleman,Slade Anlezark and John Spicer also all from Orange along with Kylie Noy of Bathurst.

The Atlantic Lubricants Series Production class saw some tremendous dices with two different heat winners in Kevin Spencer of Mudgee who won heat one driving his sideways Torana, Kevin Sawdy of Portland won heats two and three in his Commodore but fabulous Phil Noy of Bathurst was just too good in his Ford Telstar taking out the feature race from Spencer and Blayney’s Scott Bradley.

Bradley had his first outing in the Falcon since

graduating from the junior ranks while more great drives came from Mudgee’s Chris Warnock, Patrick Parker of Orange and Bruce Bradley of Blayney all driving Ford Falcons while Oberon’s Peter Simmons only managed to get one heat of racing until his Commodore died.

As in the past the Coates Hire RSA Street Stock Class was yet again the standout racing category

with David Giffin of Sydney returning to do battle with the Blackley family of Andrew,Martin, Kevin and Jodie Blackley.

Giffin posted two heat victories with Martin Blackley claiming the other in Commodores while Kevin Blackley won the ten lap feature in his Falcon from youngest son Andrew and Giffin.
