LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A THING OF BEAUTY IS A JOY FOREVER…’

I believe John Keats was writing about Lithgow in Spring when he wrote those words.

It’s this beauty that brought me back to Lithgow after an absence of 42 years, which included 12 years in Brisbane.

People still ask me ‘why on Earth would you move from Brisbane to Lithgow?’. Why? It’s where my heart is…

My late Mum was born in Portland and raised in Lithgow. Her family has lived in the area since the early 1800s. It was those family connections that brought us back to Lithgow in 1966.

It was where we had the love and support of our family and the broader community and where I finished my schooling. I have great memories of exploring the old pottery and having sleep-overs with my cousins.

We’re surrounded by mountains and exquisite flora and fauna; close to the ‘big smoke’ but far enough away to enjoy clean, fresh air; less than two hours from major wineries; and we have the best community anyone could wish for.

I’m finally home!

THANK YOU TO THE OUTGOING MAYOR

We would like to thank Stephen Lesslie for his vision for the future which he showed during his short time as the Mayor of Lithgow. After many previous Mayors who saw Lithgow’s progress based on coal and power here was someone who could see that we will have to adopt a new and more sustainable economy to provide long term jobs in the future.

Stephen has dared to mention the word ‘Transition’ and he met Greens MP Adam Brandt when he came to Lithgow and he even wanted to put solar panels on Council’s buildings – all unthinkable ‘NoNos’ for the established interests of Lithgow.

It is with regret that Stephen has encountered such opposition and he probably is right that “Fear of the future” is the main driver of his opponents. When we feel threatened we tend to insist on the ‘Status Quo’, attack any new ideas and try and muffle on as we did before.

Instead, we need to embrace different and more sustainable ways should we want to leave a liveable planet and an economy to our children. Stephen has shown us that this thinking can be applied to the role of Mayor even though it failed. We hope that a future Mayor will pick up these pieces before Lithgow is forced to change without any real plan.

Thank you Thomas Ebersoll Lithgow Environment Group

DEAR SIR,

Here we go again. Another Mayoral election and another lot of whinging. Instead of looking forward to what might be, there a minor few complaining about what might have been.

Firstly, there is a Councillor who has been on Council for 6 years who should know the voting process for Mayor, who puts in a form without having both a nominator and seconder, knowing it is going to be invalid. Why? Why did none of the 8 other Councillors sign her form? Maybe there is more happening behind the scenes than we know.

We might wonder why one of the few people interviewed floats the idea of a popularly elected Mayor. It can surely only be for the benefit of one person. The idea itself is very dangerous. Also there were many people in the public gallery that were quite happy with the election result but were not interviewed.

Council is one of three levels of Government. There is no “Popularly Elected” head of Federal or State governments, so why have one for local level? Also, if a popularly elected Mayor does not have the support of the majority of other Councillors then nothing would EVER happen. That is what a democracy is. The General Manager and Mayor can only carry out what is decided by the Council. It is of course against the Local Government Act for the Mayor to do what they want or in fact direct staff to do anything.

Two of the three candidates for Mayor have held the position before. When Councillor Statham was Mayor, many hundreds of jobs were lost (Wallerawang Power Station and subsequent cutback in mining) with barely a murmur or fight coming from Council. With Councillor Lesslie, at least he (at Councillor McAndrew’s urging) led a delegation to Canberra to try to get some jobs for our area.

Now with a new Mayor, that can be followed up with and acted upon.

I congratulate Councillor Lesslie for his term in office.

The position is more complex than people may think.

I look forward to Councillor Thompson’s term as Mayor and wish him well as he seeks to bring jobs to our area.

We have a new Mayor. We should get behind the new team and let us stop hearing of the negativity of the “sour grapes” of what is now, in the past.

COMMUNITY INVITED TO HAVE THEIR PORTLAND GETS PRACTICAL IN SAY ON FUTURE DIRECTIONS FOR HELPING FARMERS LAKE WALLACE RECREATION AREA

Lithgow Council is inviting the community’s input to help shape a plan of management for the Lake Wallace Recreation Area to ensure the facility is appropriately managed and developed in the future.

Lake Wallace Recreation Area covers approximately 44 hectares on the western and north-western shores of Lake Wallace. It is managed by Council under a lease from Energy Australia. It is a popular venue for dog-walking, picnicking, exercise, fishing, sailing, kayaking and birdwatching. The site has a baseball diamond, an off-leash dog park, Wallerawang Sailing Club and the Lake Wallace Community Boating Centre. In recent years the Recreation Area has become increasingly used by campers as well as the caravan and RV community which, while positive, has placed additional demands on the facility.

Council has engaged open space, recreation and environmental planners Gondwana Consulting to assist in the preparation of a plan of management for the Lake Wallace Recreation Area. The plan of management will

Workies representatives gave a helping hand on behalf of members to local farmers. The farmers received a share in 2 truck loads of Hay delivered to a property at Rydal after a long trip from Western Australia today.

Users of Lake Wallace recreation area; neighbours; the local community and other interested people or groups are being invited to contribute their opinions, issues or suggestions to help Council chart the Park’s future.

Thursday 4th October – 12noon to 6pm; and Saturday 13th October – 10am to 4pm.

“Community involvement is central to the plan of management’s preparation”, said Ray Thompson, Lithgow City Council Mayor. “It will ensure the plan considers and responds to community thoughts and ideas for the lake’s recreation area and its future management. I strongly encourage the community to have their say and contribute to the long term sustainability of this valuable facility” concluded the Mayor.

Once prepared, the draft version of the plan of management will be exhibited for public comment. loading their Trucks. The Farmers were not just grateful for the much needed Hay they were very emotional about the local community thinking about them & helping them out.

A big Thank you to our Members & the local community for supporting our farmers in times of severe drought.

Well done!!!!

A further $15000 has been raised earlier in September when the Lithgow Workies hosted a “Feed Our Farmers” community fundraiser. Currently, this money is being organized through Rural Aid to go towards assisting the farmers and their families with necessities such as fuel cards, gift cards, groceries, pet food, water and other needs.

Portland Central School has answered the call of desperate farmers by adopting a malnourished cow and her calf.

Head Teacher, Leigh McLean, responded to a plea on Facebook by the owners of Silver Gully Farm, who were no longer able to feed stock and were seeking groups to adopt their cattle.

The two animals were relocated from the Central Coast hinterland to the school grounds where they will be cared for by students studying agriculture.

Affectionately named Aioli and Mayo, the pregnant mother and her baby are responding well to the nurturing of staff and students. They are a welcome addition to the school’s existing livestock which includes two calves, a lamb and chickens.

“The students are actively involved in the care of the animals and have shown a great deal of sympathy,” said Mrs McLean. “In addition to looking after the animals the students have been busy fundraising for drought relief through mufti days, hamper collections, art sales, staff breakfasts and young farmer challenges.”

The school’s latest efforts raised $670 for the Buy a Bale campaign and two packed car loads of donated grocery items were also sent to Bathurst for distribution to needy farming families.

Students are reaping the benefits of having live animals at school. Year 10 student Rhianna Garland is proud to join the effort to rescue animals.

“It feels like the kind thing to do,” Ms Garland said.

“It’s also fun to be working with the animals in class and learning new skills.”

Portland Central School is now seeking community support to assist in feeding the new adoptees. Anyone who is willing to donate feed should contact Leigh McLean at the school on 6355 5233.

It was a terrific day for the Clarence community this week with Telstra launching its 500th mobile base station through the Federal Government's Mobile Black Spot Program.

For Clarence, this tower is fantastic news as the black spot has been a real source of frustration for quite some time. One of the reasons that the tower has been launched is because of the folks from the Zig Zag Railway and Clarence Rural Fire Service who lobbied so hard for it.

Since the program started back in 2013, we've had $220 million in funding from the Federal Government and 867 towers. In the electorate of Calare, we've scored 25 towers.

However, the work doesn't stop here. We've got to keep pressing for more towers and it's certainly one of my focuses down in Canberra.

Let's mark the milestone and keep the good work going!

ADDITIONAL RURAL FINANCIAL COUNSELLOR DELIVERED In what will be very welcome news for the Calare electorate, an additional rural financial counsellor has been announced to service the Central Tablelands area.

The announcement follows weeks of lobbying the Federal Government and the Rural Financial Counselling Service to place an additional counsellor in the Calare electorate.

Currently, the Central Tablelands region is serviced by rural financial counsellors operating out of Dubbo, Mudgee and Young.

Many farmers are utilising the Rural Financial Counselling Service to access support measures such as the Farm Household Allowance, transport subsidies and drought concessional loans.

As I travel around the electorate, the feedback I’m receiving is that these financial counsellors are heavily booked by people needing help. They are covering a huge section of central western NSW and we desperately needed more boots on the ground.

Following the announcement made by the Federal Government of $5 million for the Rural Financial Counselling Service, I got on the phone to the Federal Agriculture Minister and requested that additional financial counselling services be rolled out in the Central Tablelands.

I followed that up with a formal request in writing and specifically raised it in The Nationals party room. I also made a number of speeches in the Australian Parliament on the need to deliver additional counsellors to the area and I’m pleased those calls have now been answered.

Recruitment for the position has commenced and we should see the position filled in the very near future.

NEW MENINGOCOCCAL VACCINE

The Federal Government will invest $52 million to protect Australian teenagers, including those in Calare against meningococcal, with the launch of a new free national program for 14 to 19 year olds.

The vaccine will be added to the National Immunisation Program from April 2019 and provided to students aged 14 to 16 years under a school based program. Adolescents aged 15 to 19 years of age, who have not already received the vaccine in school, will be able to receive the vaccine through an ongoing GP based catch up program.

In recent years we have unfortunately seen a rise in the number of invasive meningococcal disease cases in Australia. In 2017, there were 382 cases reported nationally, compared with 252 cases in 2016 and 182 cases in 2015.

Vaccination is an effective and safe tool to prevent the spread of many diseases that cause hospitalisation, serious ongoing health conditions and sometimes death.

The Bathurst Electorate office is located on the corner of Keppel and Bentinck St and is open from 9am – 5pm, Monday – Friday.

Andrew is also available to meet in Lithgow by appointment. If you wish to arrange a time to meet with Andrew, please contact the electorate office on (02) 6331 0524.

REFLECT, RECOVER, LIVE… RESILIENCE!” Mental Health has been an ongoing topic for the region of Lithgow in the past two years. The stigma is being removed, and there are a number of local grass roots campaigns as well as real Local, State and Federal government support all working towards the same goal. However, there is still a long way to go.

By Rich Evans One event that has been a longtime in the planning and is hoping to breakthrough the barriers to our youth hits the region next weekend, the RESILIENCE 2018 Music Festival.

Organisers of the event realised that the people struggling with this issue the most were our young people and decided the best way to get the message to them that there were people they could talk to and services in the region they could access would be to put on an event they would actually attend.

“A number of people have taken their lives in the area in the last 18 months and we want to raise awareness and funds to pump back into the community and support people in the area,” said Greg McManus, creator of he event.

Resilience 2018 is a one day festival designed to shed light on services available in the community to reach out to, showcase the range of activities and groups in the area to improve well being and live music featuring a mix of both premium Australian artists along with local talent.

“Our vision is to breakdown the barriers and stigma surrounding mental health and suicide prevention, as well as donate money back into the local community to help

improve services in the region. There is a need to bring the community closer and support each other through these times and we encourage everyone to get involved,” said Mr McManus.

The event is being held at Tony Luchetti Showgrounds on Saturday 13th October.

Tickets are available from High Street Music in Lithgow or online at https://www.resilience2018.com

centre was hoping to reach $10,000 by Christmas: “For a small centre, we’re very proud of the staff and inmates.”

Ivanhoe Correctional Centre in the far west of the state last month held a Camp-Out to Clout the Drought social event, which raised almost $12,000.

Bathurst Correctional Centre’s Kristy Donlan said the prison in Central West NSW had so far raised more than $6,000: “As Bathurst is a regional town, nearly everyone is somehow related to the land.”

“We had a local farmer who had to put down 1,200 sheep.

Another family was showering at the local swimming pool; keeping all their water for their animals. Rather than feeling helpless, we took the opportunity to do something.”

CSNSW employs more than 8,000 staff, including more than 5,000 custodial officers, Services and Programs staff and psychologists, and 500 overseers at 39 correctional centres across the state. Almost 1,400 Community Corrections officers are employed in NSW.

NSW CORRECTIONS STAFF RAISE A MAMMOTH $70,000 FOR OUR FARMERS

Corrective Services and Justice NSW staff are being praised after raising more than $70,000 and counting to help drought-stricken Australian farmers.

Acting Commissioner Rosemary Caruana said the fundraising was a mammoth and big-hearted effort by the state’s prison and parole officers, as well as administrative and policy staff.

“This began as a grassroots campaign in some of our regional correctional centres and soon became a consolidated approach across the organisation with the goal of raising $25,000, which we have almost tripled,” Ms Caruana said.

“This is a cause our staff feel passionate about because many live in regional areas and some are farmers themselves. The combined effort is absolutely impressive.”

The fundraisers included cake sales, raffles and concerts, while more than $18,000 was raised by generous staff who donated their recreation-leave pay or made a direct pay deduction.

Kirkconnell Correctional Centre, in the state’s Central West, has so far raised more than $6,000 through barbecues, an inmate concert and staff Social Club donations.

Kirkconnell Manager of Security Lennox Peter said the

BUSINESS CONFIDENCE DRIES UP AS DROUGHT BATTLE CONTINUES The drought impacting most of NSW has seen business confidence dip, according to the latest Business Conditions Survey released by the state’s peak business organisation, the NSW Business Chamber.

Results show that September’s tougher trading conditions are a flow on effect from the 84 per cent of businesses who reported being impacted by the drought in August.

Compounding the state’s sluggish quarter are higher operating costs and a downward trend in revenue.

New England North West and Central West saw the sharpest deterioration in business confidence for the state. However, things haven’t slowed for Newcastle and Lower Hunter as they remain New South Wales’ strongest performers.

“While 151,000 new jobs were created within the past year and NSW has the lowest unemployment rate in Australia, we are seeing the impacts of the drought hit our local businesses,” said Vicki Seccombe, Regional Manager, Western NSW Business Chamber.

“Lower levels of capital spending this quarter, particularly in the Central West, show businesses are tightening their belts and delaying major spending decisions.

“Higher operating costs have continued to plague business at a time where 4 in 5 businesses are seeing cash flow dry up, and they are having to spend what cash they do have on overpriced operating bills like energy.

“We need to see a stronger commitment for affordable energy and drought-focused support services that assist businesses - like financial relief modelled on the Farm Household Allowance for business in drought stricken areas.

“From a State Government standpoint, focus needs to remain on delivering the infrastructure spending (especially in Western NSW) to make sure that our economy goes from strength-to-strength. While many members of our business community are being rocked by factors beyond their control, the Government has the ability to stimulate an even stronger economy,” Ms Seccombe said.

NATIONAL REPORT HIGHLIGHTS PROGRESS IN MENTAL HEALTH REFORMS ACROSS AUSTRALIA The National Mental Health Commission today released its 2018 report card on Australia’s mental health and suicide prevention system.

Chair of the Commission, Lucy Brogden, said the report acknowledges the significant reforms currently underway across the mental health and disability sectors.

“Every day we see the dedication of individuals and organisations across Australia raising awareness of mental health and wellbeing, reducing associated stigmas and developing accessible evidence-based treatment and recovery services,” Lucy Brogden said.

“We recognise that more work needs to be done, particularly to ensure access to services across the mental health system. We are impressed by the strong culture of continuous improvement and collaboration we see right around Australia.”

Interim CEO, Ms Maureen Lewis, said the Commission’s report highlights the importance of prevention, early intervention and a focus on the social determinants of health to reduce the impact of mental illness.

“Good mental health starts in infancy, so it is essential that parents, carers and early childhood educators are skilled and supported to give children the best start toward a lifetime of good mental health,” Ms Lewis said.

The Hon Greg Hunt MP, Minister for Health, welcomed the Commission’s report saying it will assist in strengthening the delivery of improved services and programs.

Lithgow had a voice at the table of the NSW Australia Local Government Women’s Association (ALGWA) meeting in Sydney last Saturday 29 September 2018.

“The Government is committed to continuing its work to improve mental health services for all Australians. The Commission’s report shows us that progress is being made across this important sector.”

The National Report 2018 also refers to the strong link between physical and mental health, the elimination of seclusion and restraint in mental health facilities and the delivery of the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

The Commission will separately report on the progress of implementation of the Fifth National Mental Health and Suicide Prevention Plan. This report will be submitted to COAG on 12 October.

Councillor Cass Coleman spoke at the event, putting global equality for women at the forefront.

“It would be nice to live in a world that 50% representation of females is the norm in all levels of government - and not just in Australia,” said Councillor Coleman. “Imagine the day when affirmative action is no longer required to elevate women into positions of power?”

Association President Marianne Saliba who is also the Mayor of Shellharbour City Council, highlighted ALGWA’s stand on the recent bullying in parliament.

“The accounts of other politicians bullying female parliamentary members in both State and Federal Government is unacceptable and more work needs to be done to raise awareness in this field,” said Councillor Saliba.

ALGWA has worked in partnership with the NSW Office of Local Government and helped in establishing the current Code of Conduct for all councillors across the state.

Councillor Saliba said, “A big thank you to those who have travelled from country NSW, and our Sydney members like Secretary Allyson Bradford who ensured excellent facilities and food for us so we could focus on empowering and enabling our dedicated ladies in local government.”

Blacktown City Councillor Julie Griffith encouraged other councils to follow their Western-Sydney council for its dedication to women’s issues.

“We have a very active Women’s Advisory Committee in Blacktown and ALL female Councillor are members,” said Councillor Griffith. “We meet with a very diverse range of female community members focusing on women issues, and then present back to the monthly Council meeting.”

UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE BEHAVIOURS RESPONSIBLE FOR 45,000 CASES OF BOWEL CANCER IN NEXT DECADE: NEW RESEARCH

A UNSW study has shown that a large proportion of bowel cancers in Australia are preventable by adopting a healthy lifestyle – particularly for men.

Isabelle Dubach, UNSW

A study by researchers from UNSW’s Centre for Big Data Research in Health has found that current rates of smoking, overweight and obesity and excessive alcohol consumption could lead to 45,000 cases of bowel cancer over the next ten years.

The results, published in JNCI Cancer Spectrum, have implications for public health education, promotion and policy.

In the study, the team pooled data from seven Australian cohort studies, encompassing nearly 370,000 Australians aged 18-100+.

“We carefully looked at factors causally associated with developing bowel cancer and their current distribution in the Australian population. We then explored what this means for the future bowel cancer burden in Australia, and where we should be targeting our health promotion efforts,” says UNSW Associate Professor Claire Vajdic.

The researchers found that 11 per cent of the future bowel cancer burden can be attributed to ever-smoking, and 4 per cent to current smoking. Overweight or obesity

was responsible for 11 per cent of cases, and excessive alcohol consumption contributed 6 per cent of the burden.

“Combined, these factors will be responsible for one in four future bowel cancers – even more so for men (37 per cent of bowel cancers) than women (13 per cent),” A/Prof Vajdic said.

“If people changed their behaviours accordingly, a large proportion of this future burden could be avoided.”

The study was the first to identify subgroups within the population with the highest burden.

“We found that more bowel cancers were caused by overweight or obesity and excessive alcohol consumption in men than in women,” says A/Prof Vajdic.

These patterns were due to differences in both the prevalence of these lifestyles – both factors are more common in men – and the strength of the association between the lifestyle factors and bowel cancer risk.

“Hormones and differences in body fat distribution, particularly excessive fat around the stomach, likely contribute to the higher body fatness-related risk in men.

We also know that men drink more alcohol than women, which increases their bowel cancer risk.”

The researchers also found an interesting interplay between smoking and alcohol: the bowel cancer burden attributable to smoking was significantly exacerbated by excessive alcohol consumption, and vice-versa.

“This means that the future bowel cancer burden would be markedly lower if current and former smokers did not drink excessive alcohol,” A/Prof Vajdic says.

The study results have important public health implications.

“Our findings can inform both general and targeted

education, public policy, health literacy and health promotion campaigns aimed at reducing cancer incidence and maximising early detection,” A/Prof Vajdic says.

“The results suggest education efforts may need to be especially directed towards current and former smokers, given their increased burden. We know that smokers are less likely to participate in our National Bowel Cancer Screening Program, so they are a particularly vulnerable group.”

The results can also be translated into a number of health recommendations.

“Our findings make a case to support everybody – but men in particular – to achieve and maintain a healthy weight to prevent bowel cancer,” A/Prof Vajdic says.

The current Australian recommendations for healthy living are to not smoke, to do at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous physical exercise per week, to maintain a healthy weight (BMI 18.5 - 25 kg/m2), to drink fewer than two alcoholic drinks per day, to not eat more than 65 grams of red meat per day, and to keep processed meat consumption to a minimum.

Research collaborator and Cancer Voices South Australia representative, Julie Marker, has survived bowel cancer three times over the past 17 years.

“Any action you can take to prevent or detect bowel cancer early might save you from the battle I’ve had,” she says.

“I’d encourage men and women – but especially men – to adopt a healthy lifestyle and participate in bowel cancer screening to reduce their risk. GPs and other health professionals should target prevention and screening advice to their patients, using insights from this research.”

PIGEON CONTROL TALES OF THE OLDE SEA “Tales of the Olde Sea” a live original IN THE LITHGOW music theatre show presented by Central Wests’ Solferino Cinemas & CBD Entertainment started its premiere

Lithgow Council is encouraging property owners in the Lithgow CBD area to be aware of their responsibilities for the control of feral pigeons and has provided a Fact Sheet to assist them in understanding pigeon control methods In recent years it has become evident, particularly in the warmer months, that the pigeon population in the Lithgow CBD has increased and the growing number of birds can be a nuisance to pedestrians and visitors to the area.

The control of pest birds is the responsibility of individual property owners, similar to controlling vermin such as rats and mice. A control program seeking financial contributions from business owners has been used in other areas, however in the current economic climate Council thought it difficult to ask property owners to participate in a potentially expensive program at this stage. Council has chosen to provide information to property owners and encourage them to put in place reasonable measures as relevant to their property.

Council has written to property owners within the CBD and has also prepared a Pigeon Control Fact Sheet advising of some of the possible control techniques which can be implemented. The Pigeon Control Fact Sheet can be found on Council’s Pest Management webpage at council. lithgow.com/pest-management/ Depending on the extent of a pigeon problem at an individual property, some of the techniques outlined in the Fact Sheet can be employed by a trip to the local hardware store and some work by a competent tradesperson. However, owners of properties impacted by nesting or roosting pigeons are encouraged to seek the services of a commercial pest controller for specific advice on control and eradication measures.

One important method that all property owners and business proprietors can employ is eliminating the food source for feral pigeons. This can be achieved by securing garbage bins and never feeding pigeons.

They also enjoyed a fun themed supper during the interval (included in the ticket price).

Aanya Mary, Portland based Writer and Director says “the show covers a gamut of seafaring experience from around the world and we have found that audiences have been very engaged and have been both moved by its musical artistry, and entertained by the humorous accounts of what life was like at sea over many centuries.”

The final show of this run will take place at Portland and is a great holiday outing.

The show is full of stories, history, humour and songs featuring local musicians Kate Woolfe (vocals), Martyn Cook (Celtic Harp and Irish Whistle) and John Duffy (Double Bass, Irish Whistle and Button Accordion).

The three performers alternate between playing music and storytelling, and the show has received excellent responses from its audiences, including professional

Issue 231 - 5 October 2018 Star Trek: Into Darkness

Sunday 7th October at 8:30pm on Go!

With “Race Week” in full swing in our region, its easy to think that the TV will also be consumed with all things “Bathurst 1000” however there is still quite a bit to choose from this weekend.

The second instalment of the modern take of the Star Trek franchise is probably one of the best!

After a terrible attack that leaves our James Kirk (played by Chris Pine) devastated, the crew of the S.S. Enterprise are engaged to locate and bring to justice a humanised weapon in the form of Khan (Benedict Cumberbatch, known for Doctor Who as well as Marvel’s Doctor Strange). While bringing Khan to back to Earth for judgement, more is uncovered to bring to light a terrible truth from within their own ranks. Great adventure and action with a big dose of humour! Certainly one to check out.

Bathurst MP Paul Toole, left, Lithgow Mayor Cr Ray Thompson and President of Combined Districts Kart Club Russell Becker.

The facilities at the Marrangaroobased Lithgow Combined Districts Kart Club are set to be enhanced thanks to the NSW Government.

Bathurst MP Paul Toole today announced the club would receive funding of $101,120 to undertake a series of projects to enable it to host larger meetings.

“The improvements will include the replacement of dilapidated race control and technical inspection buildings with demountables. Landscaping and electrics works will also be undertaken,” Mr Toole said.

“These works are needed so the club can host larger meetings by providing a higher standard of race facilities.

It is expected the improvements will allow many more state and national level events to be held at the facility.”

Mr Toole said the Lithgow Combined Districts Kart Club is committed to the promotion of the sport and supporting the local community and has, as a priority, indicated it wants to host more high profile events and attract more people to the region.

“Kart racing is a sport which nearly every professional race driver has participated in as well as being a family sport that combines competition with sportsmanship,” he said.

Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro said the roll out of the second round projects takes Stronger Country Communities funding to $300 million.

“The $300 million Stronger Country Communities Fund is part of the NSW Government’s $1.6 billion Regional Growth Fund that is employing local tradies, putting local suppliers to work and providing the right environment to operate regional businesses,” he said.

EMILIA WINS LITHGOW AGED CARE SCHOLARSHIP

The winner of the Lithgow Aged Care Nursing Scholarship is Emilia Keen.

The scholarship was awarded last week from applicants in Year 12 at Lithgow High School and La Salle Academy.

The scholarship is for a Nursing degree through Charles Sturt University and Emilia, from Lithgow High School,

will start her studies in 2019. It is a generous contribution of $12,000 by Lithgow Aged Care (LAC).

The Board of LAC adopted a strategy in 2017 to encourage the best of our local students to enter into Nursing and after their studies are completed to employ their skills in Residential Aged Care. Emilia was thrilled and honoured to have been chosen.

She joins 2017 recipient Grace Horton who is already achieving great results at CSU. Both students will do part time work at LAC while they are studying.

Care Manager, Lisa Thompson, said that the practical work experience gained by the students is of great value to the students and the residents.

Chairperson, Olwyn King, said this week that the Board is thrilled with this initiative and recognizes that we need to encourage our young students with their studies so that they will return to employment in Lithgow. We are all winners with this scheme.

Olwyn King and Lisa Thompson congratulate scholarship winner Emilia Keen

WHAT DO YOU GET FOR YOUR RATES DOLLAR? A question has been circulating on social media recently – Do you think you get good value from the money you spend on council rates?

Firstly it’s important to know that your rates are partly calculated based on the value of your land, as set by the Valuer General NSW. This means that changes in the local property market are reflected in Council’s rates model to ensure fairness and equity for ratepayers. When land valuations increase, the rates of individual ratepayers may go up or down, but Council’s total rates income does not change.

In addition, a fixed amount per property (base rate) is set by Council and is reflective of the rate type (residential, business, farmland or mining) and where you live. This information is published annually in Council’s Combined Delivery Program and Operational Plan.

Your Council aims to provide the best value for money services for our community while ensuring financial sustainability and seeking to maximise income where appropriate. For every dollar residents pay in rates and annual charges, Council matches it from other funding sources. Over the past five years Council has obtained over $75 million in grant funding for the community.

However the role of local government is changing and has come a long way since the days of roads, rates and rubbish. Today, we now fund many more services to meet our community’s needs and expectations. Some of these include: •Parks, sports grounds, playgrounds and community halls; •Libraries, arts and culture; •Community development services for children, youth, older people, people living with a disability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People; •Public and environmental health;

Like many NSW councils, Lithgow City Council is experiencing significant challenges in achieving longterm financial sustainability while continuing to provide agreed levels of service into the future. In 2019/20 Council plans to apply for a new Special Rate Variation of 4.23%.

If an application is successful, the impact on ratepayers in 2019/20 compared to what their rates would be if the current 4.77% SRV ceases, will be 9% plus the annual rate peg amount. The actual year-on-year increase will be on average around $1 per week for residential ratepayers.

An online Rates Calculator has been developed so that you can assess the impact that the proposed Special Rate Variation will have on your rates - go to the Special Rate Variation site on www.haveyoursay.lithgow.com and click on Rates Calculator.

NSW STUDENTS IN RECORD ATTEMPT TO HIGHLIGHT MENTAL FITNESS

Students from public schools across NSW are aiming to set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® title for the Largest Mental Health Awareness Lesson.

The NSW Department of Education attempt is expected to see more than 2,000 Year 9 and 10 students from 50 schools across the state participate in an interactive 40-minute lesson designed to develop resilience in young people.

The record attempt will be held on Friday, 9 November.

The current title was set in the United Kingdom in June this year with 857 people in attendance.

Mark Scott, Secretary of the NSW Department of Education, said the world record attempt aimed to promote the importance of positive mental health education and showcase the department’s commitment to this important issue.

“This mental health lesson has been designed to give students the resilience and skills they need to cope with stressful situations while letting them know it’s OK to ask for help,” Mr Scott said.

“Mental fitness is appropriate to people of all ages and is just as important as our physical health, because it helps improve mindfulness, enhance resilience and build

optimism.

“Being mentally fit doesn’t mean things won’t go wrong, but the more mentally fit we are, the better we are at coping with life’s challenges and enjoying life.”

The Largest Mental Health Awareness Lesson has been developed in partnership with teachers and leading mental health and youth organisations, in line with the new K-10 PDHPE syllabus.

The lesson – which will also be livestreamed to more than 7,200 students from 80 schools across NSW – aims to increase student confidence in seeking help and helping others, improve their ability to talk about mental wellbeing, and enhance awareness of how to maintain mental fitness.

The Largest Mental Health lesson will be taught by staff from headspace and the NSW Department of Education.

It will include entertainment from student and celebrity performers, such as singer Jai Waetford and TV presenter and health coach, Olivia Phyland.

LOVE IN A BOX

In 1990, in a border town in Wales, Dave Cooke was so touched by television images of children in oppressive orphanages in Romania, that he did something about it! With the help of many friends, the local radio station and newspapers, funds and supplies came pouring in (including thousands of shoe boxes packed by children with things another child would enjoy including a card or message of love) and on December 13th, a convoy of 7 trucks, a team of 18 drivers and a film crew were on their way, given a rousing send off by 5,000 people. The project was called Operation Christmas Child!

And this was the beginning of OCC as we know it today.

Shoe boxes of gifts of love have been touching the lives of millions of needy children all over the world ever since!

Wednesday October 10th from 10 am is our last packing day for 2018 at Lithgow Baptist Church (corner of GWHwy and Lee St), all ages welcome. Bring food to share and fun and fellowship is guaranteed. We have packed 687 boxes to date this year.

Additionally, you can collect or drop off packed boxes during business hours at The Professionals in Main Street UNTIL 30th OCTOBER. Try to include the 6 Somethings… for school, hygiene, to wear, special, play with and to love. $10 donation per box will ensure they share God’s love through you wherever it is most needed. Pick up has been confirmed as the first week in November and processing has already begun in the Western Sydney warehouse, where they hope to process 120,000 boxes this year.

Toxicology expert Geoff Isbister from Newcastle’s Calvary Mater Hospital said snake bites traditionally increase in Spring ahead of a peak in late December and January and it is important to know what to do if this occurs.

“Particularly if holidaying in a regional area and especially while camping, try to avoid being bitten in the first place by not interfering with snakes, and wearing long pants and boots if walking in areas where snakes are present,” Dr Isbister said.

“Also ensure you are prepared and know what to do. If a person is bitten by a snake or spider, keep them rested and still, call an ambulance and use an elasticised bandage on the affected area.

“Tourniquets should not be applied, and the bite site should not be cut or sucked. Move slowly away from the snake and don’t try and kill it.”

NSW hospitals are prepared for snake season, with each Local Health District managing supplies of anti-venom, according to location, snake and spider populations and history of bites.

Dr Isbister says brown snake and tiger snake antivenoms are the most commonly used treatments for snake bites in NSW. “Symptoms from a venomous bite include nausea, vomiting, headache and in severe brown snake envenoming the patient may collapse and require cardiopulmonary resuscitation,” Dr Isbister said.

“Brown snake bites are probably the most common snake bite nationally and in NSW and there are also lots of red-bellied black snakes, which are treated with tiger snake antivenom.”

When it comes to spiders, people need to be aware of funnel web and redback spiders.

Like snake bites, funnel web spider bites should be left untouched except for the use of an elasticised bandage and the victim should remain still until medical help arrives.

Redback spiders are found in dark and dry places, including shoes left outside, helmets, under outdoor furniture and sometimes in play and garden equipment.

Redback spider bites aren’t life-threatening and it is recommended the area bitten is washed and advice sought from the NSW Poisons Information Centre on 131126.

LITHGOW’S NEW BAYONET STREET TRAFFIC LIGHTS GO GREEN

Road users in Lithgow will enjoy improved safety after new traffic lights were switched on today by Bathurst MP Paul Toole at the intersection of Bayonet Street and the Great Western Highway.

Mr Toole said the NSW Government committed $870,000 to address safety concerns at the busy intersection, and at nearby Lee Street.

“In the eight years to June 2017, there were 11 crashes resulting in eight injuries at the Bayonet Street intersection. The majority of these crashes were a result of vehicles crossing the highway,” Mr Toole said.

“It’s great to be here to switch on the traffic lights today, which aims to reduce the number of crashes and improve

pedestrian safety by including pedestrian signals where people can cross the road.”

Roads and Maritime Services are also carrying out safety improvement work at the Lee Street intersection.

“Work at the Lee Street intersection is under way with concrete work to be completed in October,” Mr Toole said.

“Raised concrete medians and signage will be installed to restrict right turn and straight ahead movements from Lee Street and Tweed Road onto the Great Western Highway to reduce the number and severity of crashes at the intersection. Right turns will still be possible from the Great Western Highway into Lee Street and Tweed Road.”

Mr Toole said in the eight years to June 2017 there were five crashes resulting in six injuries at the intersection of the Great Western Highway and Lee Street. All of these five crashes involved vehicles crossing the highway from one of the side roads, and proceeding straight ahead or turning right.

Work on Lee Street will continue to be carried out

on weekdays between 7am and 6 pm, and on Saturday between 8am and 1pm until the end of October, weather permitting.
