PORTLAND POOL UPGRADES THE heat is on and with sizzling summer temperatures across the region Bathurst MP Paul Toole has announced that Portland Pool will receive a facelift.

Thanks to a NSW Government grant of $58,399 from its Stronger Country Communities Fund, the pool’s upgrade is great news, not only for the Portland community, but also for visitors from Bathurst and Lithgow who use the popular community facility.

Mr Toole said the planned works include resurfacing of the kiddies “little” pool, replacing the diving blocks on the Olympic Pool, and upgrading the perimeter fence.

“The Portland Pool is very much a valued community facility and is more than just a place to go for a swim and cool down,” he said.

“It is a social spot for friends and families to gather and

Corner of Wolgan & Williwa Streets, Portland

is used by local schools to teach children to swim and host swimming carnivals.”

Mr Toole said the kiddies pool needs urgent attention with the resurfacing as it was built in 1958 and is starting to deteriorate and has cracked tiles and concrete which poses safety issues for users.

“It is also used by children from the local community and importantly is used to teach kids aged from only a few months old to eight years to swim,” he said.

“As the pool also hosts swimming carnivals each season for the local schools and district representative meets, there is a need to update the outdated diving blocks on the main pool.”

Mr Toole also noted the makeover for Portland Pool would also include upgrades to the perimeter fence.

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 Regional Growth is employing local tradies, putting local suppliers to work and providing the right environment to operate regional businesses,” he said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR I am writing to inform the people of Portland NSW that there is a petition positioned at the Coronation Hotel, The Newsagency, RSL Portland, ANT Fitness at Portland, the Portland Pharmacy and the Portland Produce. The petition is for those that are not interested in the current proposal by the Lithgow Council for an increase in rates.

For what we are paying right now, I am appalled that they cannot do the basic, so what are they spending the money on or more importantly where has the money gone? In this current economic climate where we have been told to expect the housing bubble to crash (there has already been a down turn in the pricing of houses in the local area of 2% as mentioned on the ABC website) and interests rate to possibly go up, how could they ask for an increase when nobody is getting an increase in wages. Where are we to get this money?

“Council proposes to apply to retain the current SRV of 4.77%. Council also plans to request an additional one-off SRV of 4.23%. The total SRV application will be for a 9% increase in rates revenue (i.e. the current 4.77% SRV plus a new 4.23% SRV) plus the 2.7% rate peg (set by IPART for 2019/20) will also be added. “

As such a petition has been set up in the abovementioned locations. Please find your way to them and sign them at ONE of the locations. They will be collected and presented to the Mayor and Council Representatives at the Special meeting they are holding on the Tuesday 29th January 2019.

There is the ability for all of us to have our say on their website, but it does not truly let you say NO! I see this rate is ludicrous, as we live in a town where the roads need fixing, the verges are in constant state of needing to be cut in peak snake season. This is to name but a few of the things that they do not do well.

Thank you Yours Sincerely The Citizens of Portland

Editor’s Note

Whilst a petition is a record of how residents feel in regards to a situation, the only real way to influence Council is to speak to your elected Councilors and attend the public meetings where issues are discussed and debated in great detail.

As someone who has only missed 3 council meetings since 2014, I can tell you that these decisions are never taken lightly and the Councilors and administrators of the Council always have the interests of the local community at the forefront of their decision making.

We may not all agree with each decision they make, nor do all the Councilors always agree, but they are all there for the same reason - to do the best they can for Lithgow with the resources available to them.

Given the public emotion about this particular issue, I am looking forward to a full house in the Council Chambers at the Extraordinary Meeting - Tuesday 29th January at 7pm in Council Chambers.

CULLEN BULLEN SEWERAGE SCHEME GRASS MAINTENANCE – PROGRESS City Council has received URBAN LITHGOW Lithgow the Concept Design Technical Report for the Cullen Bullen AREA Sewerage Scheme.

Over the last 4 – 6 weeks, the wider Lithgow area has been experience optimum growing conditions for grass and roadside vegetation. Wet nights and hot, sunny days have resulted in a significant growing season, stretching Council resources to its limits.

At this time, Lithgow City Council would like to remind the community that property owners (and tenants) are required to maintain both their nature strips and properties, vacant or otherwise, as Council lacks sufficient resources to effectively maintain these areas.

Where it is identified that this responsibility has not been met and there is a risk to public safety as a result, Council will contact land owners directly and follow due process under the Local Government Act 1993 to request improvement works be undertaken. Should there be a failure to comply with such reasonable requests, fines of up to $330 apply and Council will also effect the improvements to the nature strip or property, at the owners cost.

Council would also like to inform the community that it is investigating all options in order to increase its ability to maintain public spaces and road verges within the Lithgow area. With some machinery requiring repair, the hiring of new mowers and the contracting of mower repairs is being considered in order to best ensure Council’s own obligations in this regard are being met, in addition to those of the community.

Council acknowledges and appreciates the efforts of property owners/tenants for the maintenance of nature strips and properties during this growing season.

Lithgow City Council has received the Concept Design Technical Report for the Cullen Bullen Sewerage Scheme.

The concept design process is undertaken to provide a preliminary layout for infrastructure and ensure the scheme will have as little impact to residents and property whilst being able to serve the desired purpose.

Whilst a location for the sewerage treatment plant has not been finalised as yet the preliminary reticulation layout has been created for the township which will give residents of Cullen Bullen the opportunity to review and provide comment on the proposed concept design. Some properties within the township have been identified that may require reticulation to be constructed through private property for the system to function efficiently and enable

all existing properties to be connected. As Council moves toward finalising the concept design further consultation will be had with those property owners who may be affected.

All residents/property owners in Cullen Bullen should have now received a letter with a concept plan included, if you are a resident/ property owner and have not received this information please contact Council or go to www. haveyoursay.lithgow.com to access the full report. To provide the community further information Council will be a holding a Community Information Session on the 15th of January 2019 at the Cullen Bullen Progress Association Hall starting at 5pm to discuss the progress and gain feedback from the residents on the concept design.

The Concept Design Technical Report and Plans are available on www.haveyoursay.lithgow.com however if you wish to have a hardcopy posted to you please contact Council at your earliest convenience to ensure these are provided in a timely manner. Should you have any further enquires please contact Council on (02) 6354 9999.

NEW SERVICE FOR PORTLAND RESIDENTS Portland residents will soon be able to access medical services in Lithgow a lot easier than present.

There will be a public meeting in the next couple of weeks where further details will be advised.

This will have come about after discussions between Doctor Shawki and members of the Tabulam Fund Raising Committee, with the doctor seeing a need for such a service.

Recently, John Kearns and Neville Castle met with Kathy Dixon from Lithgow Community Transport. They were pleasantly informed that Lithgow Community

Transport were aware of the Portland situation. They had applied for an arrangement with Transport NSW (which had already been trialled successfully in another location).

There will be a 10 seater bus to run one day a week from Portland to Lithgow. There will be a small fee to access this service.

This service will be in addition to the car transport that Lithgow Community Transport that is currently available but maybe not as well known about.

This new service will be on a trial basis and will depend on its usage.

If people are interested in this new service, please attend the meeting. The meeting date, location and time of the meeting will be notified shortly.

The countdown is on for Australia Day NSW 2019, with Yothu Yindi and The Treaty Project, Conrad Sewell and Kate Ceberano announced as part of a starstudded and action-packed program of events.

The official Australia Day program was launched today

by NSW Minister for Multiculturalism Ray Williams and Australia Day Council NSW Creative Director John Foreman OAM beside the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge with a taste of what’s to come.

“This year’s Australia Day program will champion the vibrant and diverse state of NSW, based on the theme ‘Everyone, every story’, with a range of events across the state inviting people to unite, reflect and share what it means to be Australian,” Mr Williams said.

Mr Williams also announced renowned social researcher and author Hugh Mackay AO as the 2019 Australia Day Address Speaker. His thought-provoking Address will be broadcast nationally on 23 January.

Australia Day Council NSW Creative Director John Foreman said Australia Day celebrations in Sydney, would deliver something for everyone encompassing the national values of inclusion, diversity and respect.

“In 10 days’ time Sydney Harbour will come alive with non-stop entertainment on the water, in the sky and around the foreshore,” Mr Foreman said.

“It’s going to be an unforgettable day of fantastic events, building up to Australia Day Live in the evening where some of the country’s most talented artists will

perform top Aussie hits to get the crowd pumping along with amazing fireworks, aerial displays and boats dancing across the Harbour.”

Australia Day in Sydney begins at sunrise with the WulgulOra Indigenous Morning Ceremony at Barangaroo Reserve including Christine Anu and her daughter Zipporah Corser-Anu singing Kulba Yaday, accompanied by the raising of the Aboriginal and Australian flags on Sydney Harbour Bridge.

At Darling Harbour’s Summer Playground the everpopular children’s entertainers The Wiggles will perform a morning concert before the precinct transforms into a hub of live entertainment with funk, soul music from The Bamboos and DJ sessions.

P&O Cruises is proud to once again support the Sydney Harbour program which includes the iconic Ferrython, Tug & Yacht Ballet and a 21-gun ‘Salute to Australia’ by the Australian Army, Royal Australian Navy and Royal Australian Air Force, accompanied by more than 350 choir singers scattered around the foreshore.

TIPS FOR COPING WITH THE HEATWAVE

With the mercury soaring Australia wide this week, and the Bureau of Meteorology prediction for heatwaves in all states and territories, Red Cross urges everyone to take extra care and follow some simple tips for staying cool.

“Extremely hot weather can cause serious health problems – most people don’t know that more Australians have died as a result of heatwaves than because of floods, bushfires or cyclones,” says Australian Red Cross’ National Emergency Services Manager Andrew Coghlan. “Older people, pregnant women, children, those with a disability and people taking medications are among those who are more at risk.”

Extreme heat can also cause major disruptions to daily life, such as electricity cuts, the closure of schools and workplaces, and disruptions to public transport.

“Everyone is affected by the heat in different ways, but there are some simple steps you can take to reduce the effects,” Mr Coghlan says. “Top of the list is keeping out of the heat and making sure you drink water regularly.”

“For South Australians in the grips of a severe heat wave, make sure you check in on those who are vulnerable. Red Cross will also be making phone calls from tomorrow to those who have signed up for our South Australian Telecross REDI service, so we can make sure those who are isolated or vulnerable are doing okay in this extreme weather.”

Red Cross’ tips for coping with the heat:

Drink regularly: even if you don’t feel thirsty. Water is the best option. Avoid alcohol, tea, coffee and sugary or fizzy drinks as they make dehydration worse.

Eat little and often: rather than large meals. Try to eat more cold food, particularly salads and fruit, which contain water.

Stay indoors: in the coolest rooms of your house or in the shade during the hottest part of the day.

Take cool showers and splash yourself with cold water several times a day, particularly your face and the back of your neck. A loose, cotton, damp cloth or scarf on the back of the neck can help you stay cool.

Air flow: make sure there is sufficient air circulation, either from an air conditioner or by leaving a secured window or door open.

Find the shade: if you must go out, stay in the shade. Wear a hat and lightcoloured, loose-fitting clothes, preferably made of natural fibres. Wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 30 to exposed skin. If you will be outside for some time, take plenty of water with you.

Look out for your neighbours: if you know someone who might be susceptible to heat stress, stop by and make sure they know what to do to stay cool.

NSW 2019 AUSTRALIA DAY AMBASSADORS ANNOUNCED This January 26 more than 120 Australia Day Ambassadors from different backgrounds will come together to celebrate Australia Day 2019 with communities across NSW.

From the catwalk to the country, this year’s Ambassadors include Sydney-based model Samantha Harris, farmer and mental health advocate John Harper, as well as marathon swimmer Susie Maroney OAM. Australia Day Council of NSW Chairman Angelos Frangopoulos AM said each year Ambassadors are a drawcard for celebration in hundreds of communities across the State.

“Australia Day Ambassadors are past recipients of the Australian of the Year Awards, athletes, scientists, entrepreneurs, entertainers and community workers.

The NSW Ambassador Program – now in its 28th year – is a great opportunity to reinforce the diversity of Australia’s high achievers. I would like to thank all our 2019 Ambassadors for their time and commitment,” Mr Frangopoulos said.

The theme for Australia Day this year is Everyone, Every Story. As Australia Day means different things to different people, it is everyone’s chance to come together to share their stories that are passed through the community The inspiring line up of Ambassadors will celebrate the importance of diversity, share their unique stories and inspire others to do the same.

“From Newcastle to Nyngan, Tamworth to Turramurra, Wagga Wagga to Woolloomooloo our Ambassadors volunteer their time to inspire pride in us all on Australia Day,” Mr Frangopoulos said.

John Harper from Stockinbingal in the Riverina region,

who describes himself as an ‘ordinary bush bloke’, is honoured to be an Ambassador.

“I am very proud to be part of a nation that still recognises the efforts of ordinary members of our communities who continually make Australia the ‘Lucky Country’.

“Australia only exists because of us, ordinary individuals, every day families in local communities.

Local communities are a foundation block on which Australia has been successfully built,” said Mr Harper.

Many much-loved Ambassadors are back again in 2019, including veteran actress Lorrae Desmond MBE, rugby league great Peter Wynn and motivational speaker and the ‘voice of Blinky Bill’ Robyn Moore.

For media personality Susie Elelman AM, 2019 will be her 21st year as an Australia Day Ambassador.

“The most rewarding duty on Australia Day is to deliver the keynote speech during the official ceremony,” she said.

“I get the chance to tell my family’s story and it’s so rewarding to have so many people come up to me afterwards to say how much my speech resonated with them share their unique stories with me.”

Other new Australia Day Ambassadors this year include 20-year-old skateboarding champion Amar Hadid.

“It is of the highest importance that we celebrate Australia Day with local communities to reinforce and remind us that when we come together we can overcome all obstacles and work as one,” Ms Hadid said.

International yachtsman and mental health advocate Allan Sparkes OAM CV values being an Australia Day Ambassador.

“It’s the opportunity to travel to different parts of this extraordinary country and learn from others about how they are overcoming the challenges faced in today’s world,” he said.

Antarctic station leader Narelle Campbell recalls Australia Day in the highest, driest, windiest and coldest continent in the world as a unique experience

with Australiana costumes, pies, a few beers and a very competitive game of cricket.

Ms Campbell said her role as an Ambassador back home is most rewarding.

“To see first-hand the excitement and emotion on the faces of those being recognised for their achievements and contributions to the community, and the individuals and families receiving their citizenship. A very humbling experience,” she said.

Romance novelist Valarie Parv said she loves serving as an Ambassador in regional communities.

“Having the chance to talk about, not 200 years but 60,000 years of Australian history, reminding all of us that the First Australians celebrated their experiences and stories exactly as we do today,” she said.

“It’s a unique privilege to honour all Australians as part of the oldest civilisation on Earth.”

As the son of an immigrant Greek father who spent his life working as a publican, artist Yianni Johns said he is honoured to have been an Australia Day Ambassador since 2010.

“The most rewarding thing for me is the moment I walk on stage to deliver my address. I am there sharing my story with people who have invited me to share Australia Day with them,” Mr Johns said.

“Over those years I have met some outstanding Australians and developed friendships from my Australia Day visits to towns and communities, all over the State.”

The Australia Day Council of NSW is encouraging everyone to get involved in the fun, colour and excitement of Australia Day 2019, including the many community events on offer across the State alongside their Ambassadors.

A full list of 2019 NSW Australia Day Ambassadors is attached and listed on the website.

TOTAL FIRE BAN DECLARED FOR CHIFLEY / LITHGOW TEAM AREA A Total Fire Ban has been declared for the Chifley / Lithgow Team area due to forecast hot, dry and windy conditions.

“Latest forecasts indicate high temperatures, low humidity and wind conditions, with a Very High Fire Danger Rating in place across the Bathurst, Oberon and Lithgow areas,” said Inspector Holland.

“Under these Conditions, fires will be uncontrollable and fast moving, and could threaten properties with little warning.

“If a fire breaks out in the forecast conditions, you should only stay with your home if it’s well-prepared and you are able to actively defend it.

“That’s why it’s so important that people are prepared, by having a fireproof Bush Fire Survival Plan so they know what to do if a fire affects their community or their family.”

Inspector Holland said a Total Fire Ban means a ban on the lighting of any fires out in the open, including wood or solid fuel barbeques.

ROAD RE-SEALING – JANUARY 2019 Works will commence on the asphalt reseal of Tank / Clarice Lane, Clarice Street and Lett Street, Lithgow and the Glen Alice Road, Bogee during the month of January.

As part of Lithgow City Council’s 2018/19 capital works program, a number of roads across the Local Government Area have been identified as requiring remedial work.

As part of this program the following roads have been identified as requiring remedial works: •Tank / Clarice Lane, Lithgow (asphalt reseal from Read Avenue to End); •Clarice Street, Lithgow (asphalt reseal from Read

A gas or electric barbeque is allowed, but only if: •It is on a residential property within 20 metres of the house or dwelling •It is in a picnic area and the appliance is approved by Council, National Parks or State Forest •It is under the direct control of a responsible adult •The ground around the barbecue is cleared for 2 metres of all material which could burn •You have an immediate and continuous supply of water available.

Inspector Holland has encouraged property holders to ensure they take precautions during the current conditions.

“Many fires start as a result of human activities, including working with machinery, and the risk of more fires is high in these extremely dry conditions.”

Further information on Total Fire Bans, including areas covered by a Total Fire Ban, can be found at www.rfs.nsw. gov.au . Current fire incidents can also be found via the Fires Near Me app.

Avenue to End); •Lett Street, Lithgow (asphalt reseal from Cook Street to End); and •Glen Alice Road, Bogee (bitumen seal of the remaining unsealed section 2.5km from the Bogee bridge) These roads require immediate restoration in order to ensure the safety of road users and better serve the community. As such, within the month of January contract asphalt and bitumen teams and machinery will be on site to remediate and re-seal the above mentioned sections, weather permitting.

Works will include the removal of the existing seal and reseal of the affected areas. Improvements such as increased consistency of shoulder width and improved drivability are also a requirement of this work. It is expected that these scheduled improvements will serve to increase both driver safety and comfort and greatly reduce maintenance expenditure in these areas.

Residents are urged to note that traffic conditions may change in these areas. Please exhibit caution and patience while travelling through the area.

ELON MUSK RESPONDS TO INDEPENDENT MP JEREMY BUCKINGHAM WITH OFFER TO BUILD TUNNEL UNDER BLUE MOUNTAINS FOR $1 BILLION Tesla CEO and entrepreneur Elon Musk has responded to a proposal

by Independent NSW MP Jeremy Buckingham with an offer to build a high-tech tunnel under the Blue Mountains from western Sydney to Lithgow for about $1 billion.

Buckingham tweeted at the billionaire on Wednesday asking how much it would cost to build a 50km tunnel through the Blue Mountains and open up the west of NSW. The billionaire, who has a twitter following of 24.1 million, responded: “About 15M/km for a two way high speed transit, so probably around $750M plus maybe $50M/station”.

Australian billionaire and co-founder of Atlassian Mike

LABOR POLICY WILL HURT SMALL BUSINESS AND JOB CREATION The state’s peak business

Cannon-Brookes responded positively, tweeting “Sounds like a bargain for Sydney”.

Buckingham has championed a tunnel under the Blue Mountains since the 1990s, when he was a councillor on Orange City Council, one of the regional cities that could benefit from high-speed linkages with western Sydney.

“For about the price of knocking down one stadium, Elon Musk says he can build a transport loop for NSW that would be the envy of the world,” Buckingham said.

“Autonomous, electric vehicles that generate zero pollution are the future of transport. It would be madness not to further investigate would could be an infrastructure and planning game changer for Sydney and our regions.

“I lived in the Central West and was an Orange City councillor so I know a high-tech tunnel transporting cars underground between western Sydney and Lithgow would revolutionise life in towns like Orange, Bathurst and Lithgow.

“You could live out in the beautiful western region

of NSW, enjoy the lifestyle, clean air and national parks while commuting into jobs centres of Penrith and western Sydney. The infrastructure plan takes the pressure off traffic congestion and resources in Sydney, while providing a lifeline for our regions.

“I’ll be focussing on this bold transport plan as I seek re-election to the NSW Upper House.

“I call on the leaders of both the Liberal/Nationals and Labor who may be Premier after the upcoming State Election to meet with Elon Musk and discuss opportunities for tunnelling, especially under the Blue Mountains,” he said.

Commuters access the loop by driving their electric vehicle to a station, where an elevator transports the car down into the tunnel. The vehicle is secured on special platforms where they then travel at maximum speed between stations. A loop system is currently in testing phase in Los Angeles, under construction in Chicago and planned for linking Washington and Baltimore.

organisation, the NSW Business Chamber, says the decision

by Michael Daley to reverse promised payroll tax relief for small businesses, should he be elected Premier in March, has been widely condemned across the State.

The Chamber has today launched an online petition as part of its Keeping NSW Number 1 campaign, called Jobs Tax, urging Mr Daley to reverse his plan.

“There’s no doubt Mr Daley’s announcement just prior to Christmas came as a nasty surprise for small business owners across NSW,” said Western NSW Business Chamber Regional Manager, Vicki Seccombe.

“The many small business owners and community leaders we have heard from, especially in regional NSW, are confused as to why NSW Labor would want to put the brakes on jobs growth and punish small and family businesses who are looking to hire additional staff,” Ms Seccombe said.

“Payroll tax is the ultimate job killer – it penalises businesses for hiring more staff, and that is why the decision by the Berejiklian Government last year to lift the payroll tax threshold was celebrated across NSW. The administrative burden of complying with payroll tax is significant, with an average expense of $10,000 for small businesses that are caught by this job killing tax.

“At a time of considerable economic and business uncertainty, it is critical that governments and oppositions across the country look at measures to support jobs growth and small businesses. Punishing small and family businesses for hiring additional staff just doesn’t make sense.

“Securing the commitment to lift the payroll tax threshold was a hard fought campaign run by the 200 Local Chambers of Commerce across NSW. These communities know first-hand the impact of this tax on their communities and particularly on the plight of young job seekers.

“In the lead up to the NSW election on 23 March, we know that this will be a critical issue. NSW needs and deserves leaders who have plans and policies to boost job creation and investment, not negative thought bubbles that, if implemented, will kill jobs growth and force businesses and job seekers to look at opportunities in other parts of Australia,” Ms Seccombe said.

Increases were driven by strong stock and commodity prices and limited rural properties being offered to market. The local government areas of Cowra (26.2%) and Lithgow (20.1%) recorded the strongest increases.

FATIMA HALL TO RECEIVE SOME TENDER LOVING CARE Bathurst MP Paul Toole has announced that some muchneeded tender loving care is heading to Lithgow’s Fatima Hall.

Funding of $50,000 will be provided by the NSW Government from round two of its Stronger Country Communities Fund to give the popular community facility a new lease of life.

Mr Toole said a major refurbishment program for the

10

hall would be undertaken on the hall to ensure the many community groups that use it can continue to do so more comfortably.

“The refurbishment will include the replacement of the carpet, general repairs and a fresh coat of paint,” Mr Toole said.

The community hall is used by many groups and for activities including the Gorrie Ban seniors group, Aboriginal support group, playgroups, community and kids’ groups, Catholic Women’s League, a after school homework centre and exercise groups.

Mr Toole said the upgrade will boost the spirits of the local community as the Fatima Hall is a much-needed facility for people to gather for interaction, fun and camaraderie as many are separated from family, living alone or have a disability of some kind.

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 Regional Growth is employing local tradies, putting local suppliers to work and providing the right environment to operate regional businesses,” he said.

“People with Parkinson’s disease have substantial barriers to maintaining their independence. Our program has individually tailored tools to empower all people with Parkinson’s to manage their symptoms, increase capacity to remain independent and enjoy the highest possible quality of life,” says Dr Matthew Brodie.

“Working with our global partners, our program has the potential to impact the way Parkinson’s disease is treated around the world,” adds Dr Brodie.

Associate Professor Kim Delbaere says the funding from MJFF and SIUF gives hope to people with Parkinson’s.

“StandingTall-PD could transform the management of gait impairments for those with the disease,” says Associate Professor Delbaere, adding, “the global uptake

of mobile technology makes our user-friendly product suitable for widespread community application.”

Professor Peter Schofield, CEO of NeuRA says falls are a frequent and often harmful occurrence for people living with Parkinson’s disease.

“The StandingTall-PD program is a big step towards reducing the burden of disease associated with Parkinson’s in Australia and around the world,” says Professor Schofield.

Davide Vigano, CEO of Sensoria Health Inc., says smart footwear has the potential to change the way in which physicians and people with Parkinson’s access personalised healthcare.

“At Sensoria Health, we are honoured to partner with NeuRA and The Michael J. Fox Foundation and Shake It Up Australia Foundation and look forward to working together to improve the quality of life for people with Parkinson’s disease.”

Clyde Campbell, Founder and CEO of the Shake It Up Australia Foundation says the potential to reduce falls for people living with Parkinson’s is a priority.

“Tripping, freezing and falls happen all too often in people With Parkinson’s. If we can minimise or eliminate falls we will reduce injury and this is well aligned with our strategy to provide better treatments whilst on the journey to slow, stop and cure Parkinson’s disease,” says Clyde Campbell.

How does the program work?

Improving quality of life for people with Parkinson’s

Prof. Kim Delbaere (L) & Dr Katthew Brodie

Hi

NeuRA’s Dr Matthew Brodie and Associate Professor Kim Delbaere, who lead the study, are working with industry partner Sensoria Health and aim to make StandingTall-PD the leading eHealth solution for maximising mobility and preventing falls in people with Parkinson’s disease.

“Existing dopamine therapies offer benefit in treating motor dysfunction in Parkinson’s but may not alleviate gait and balance challenges,” says Jamie L. Hamilton, PhD, Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) Associate Director. “This project has the potential to become an affordable option to address gait and balance issues and improve overall quality-of-life for people with Parkinson’s,” she adds.

Falls are a common and often devastating event in the lives of people with Parkinson’s disease. They are frequently caused by gait impairments, postural instability and freezing-of-gait, a brief absence of forward momentum of the feet despite the intention to walk.

The neuro-rehabilitation program, known as StandingTall-PD, uses visual, audio and haptic sensory cues to help rewire the parts of the brain that control walking in people with Parkinson’s. The program aims to prevent freezing-of-gait and falls, and enhance participants’ independence.

Investment from Sensoria Health includes the development of the textile sensor infused Smart Socks with haptic feedback and core microelectronics for the study.

colour-coded stepping targets, a pair of Sensoria Smart Socks, an iPad and phone. The program, practised daily, will encourage participants to step on coloured stepping targets that match a series of colours displayed on their iPad. At the same time, they will listen to rhythmic auditory cues like music and a metronome beat that are synchronised with the vibrating Smart Socks.

The combination of visual, audio and sensory elements helps to form new connections in less affected parts of the brain, leading to improved walking ability.

The program enables participants to self-manage and monitor their own progress via an app on their phone. The app can also trigger stimuli during everyday activities, such as vibration in their Smart Socks, if they are in danger of experiencing freezing-of-gait, falls or if they show signs of shuffling feet.

Clinicians can also monitor participants’ progress remotely and adjust the program to provide ongoing and personalised continuity of care.

n

A team of researchers from Neuroscience Research Australia (NeuRA) and UNSW Sydney has received a grant from The Michael J. Fox Foundation and the Shake It Up Australia Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to test eHealth and smart garment technologies to prevent falls in people with Parkinson’s disease.

LITHGOW 7-ELEVEN LAUNCHES LOW SUGAR COLA SLURPEE TO HELP YOU BEAT THE SUMMER HEAT

Available exclusively at 7-Eleven

To celebrate Summer, Lithgow locals can enjoy a Low Sugar Cola Slurpee as part of the new look range available exclusively at ​7-Eleven​. Slurpee Low Sugar is the only low sugar frozen carbonated beverage available in Australia.

Containing just one-fifth of a teaspoon of sugar in a large cup (less than 1%), it delivers greater choice without compromising on the mouth-watering flavour that Australians love. The new Low Sugar Cola Slurpee joins other delicious and fruity flavours such as grape, pineapple passion and mango - with more flavours being launched throughout Summer.

Angus McKay, 7-Eleven Chief Executive Officer says the expansion of the new Low Sugar range is cementing the company’s ongoing commitment to provide Australians with more choice.

“Customers have been asking us for options and we

have invested in years of research and development to meet their requests across our food and drink range. Cola is our most purchased Slurpee, so we are excited to now be giving Australian’s the option to buy the very first Low Sugar Cola flavoured Slurpee.

“We are committed to providing customers with more choice when it comes to food on the go. The relaunch and expansion of the Slurpee Low Sugar range is just another step in providing customer awareness that we have a wide range of food choices available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” continued McKay. Earlier this year 7-Eleven and Simply Cups launched a cup recycling program which has rescued more than 2.5 million cups from landfill. Consumers can recycle their Slurpee and coffee cups as well as plastic straws at dedicated recycling stations in 200 7-Eleven stores across the country. To find your nearest 7-Eleven recycling station go to 7​ eleven.com.au/cuprescue.

COMMUNITY WHO IS YOUR FAVOURITE RASCAL?

One of my early childhood memories was of a crowded Christmas dinner in the sitting room of my elderly grand-mother’s weatherboard home at Beecroft in the 50s. Twenty or so relatives crowded around the long table in the centre of the room.

Submitted by Jan Saundercock, Lithgow & District Family History Society Despite the temperature, the traditional baked dinner cooked in Nan’s fuel stove was served. The Christmas tree which reached the 12-foot-high ceiling took up the only available space in the corner, its branches tickling the necks of those at that end of the table. This was the same year that Nan’s gift to each grand-child was a roll of twenty pennies carefully wrapped in cellophane, the ends secured with red and green ribbon like a Christmas bon-bon.

The Christmas pudding had been simmering in boiling water in a 5-gallon tin sitting over a small open fire in the backyard for most of the morning. Served with custard after it had been brought to the table and ‘flamed’ with brandy, we children were keen to see if we could find one of the sixpences or threepences that Nan added to the pudding mixture before it was wrapped in cloth, securely tied with string and dangled from a stick into the boiling water.

Imagine my younger brother’s amazement when Uncle Eric produced a florin, equivalent to twenty cents, from his slice of pudding! Their eyes were like saucers and they asked for a second slice of pudding to see if they too could find a florin.

Nan smiled knowingly and passed out second helpings.

Uncle Eric was known for this sleight of hand each Christmas it seems and had several florins in his pocket on that day.

Each family it seems has a rascal, someone who makes us smile or who we talk about in hushed tones because of their behaviour, if a little risqué or not quite above board.

Lithgow & District Family History Society has chosen the topic My Favourite Rascal for the 2019 Yvonne Jenkins Memorial Award essay. Yvonne, for many years the Society’s President and a prolific author, always encouraged members to write their family stories and when she passed away in 2011 the Society decided that an essay competition in her memory would be a fitting tribute.

EAT YOURSELF HAPPY WITH EGGS

Have you ever been guilty of snapping angrily at someone when you were hungry? Research1 has identified exactly what causes the emotive response to hunger, commonly known to be ‘hanger’ – and what foods to eat to keep it at bay.

In fact, science proves a diet rich in protein foods, such as eggs, minimises hunger2. This in turn will reduce rage and irritability.

‘Hanger’ is a term that refers to the phenomenon of feeling angry and short-tempered when hungry. As time passes after your last meal, the level of glucose in the blood drops. When blood glucose levels drop, the body naturally rebalances these levels to maintain energy between meals.

When these levels remain low, the amount of fuel getting to the brain is not optimal and this can be enough to alter mood. For many, this means instinctively reaching for a high-sugar treat to satisfy cravings. The bad news is that this “quick fix” will ultimately leave sugar levels crashing even harder later on.

Sharon Natoli, leading dietitian and author from Food & Nutrition Australia said, “It has long been known that food and mood are intrinsically linked. What and when we eat can have a direct effect on temperament. Eating regularly throughout the day and including protein rich foods at each meal, along with sufficient fibre, can help you to take control of your food intake, by helping you feel fuller for longer and stabilising energy levels that in turn help you maintain a good mood.”

A diet containing highly processed, fried and sugary food is directly linked to low mood and increases the chance of feeling down in the dumps by as much as 36 per cent3. Carbohydrate foods that are high in added sugar, such as cakes, biscuits and sweet snack bars, can

“FLAMENCO VERO” - FLAMENCO DANCE CLASSES

Veronica is one of the very few flamenco dancers in this country who has an extensive history as a professional flamenco dancer in Spain, having worked alongside many of the most famous flamenco artists for more than 12 years in that country.

Three years ago, Veronica established a flamenco dance academy in Katoomba – “FlamencoVero”. Her weekly classes incorporate all the aspects of flamenco dance and more – “zapateado” drills (footwork), “braceo” (arm exercises), “vueltas” (turns) and castanets as well as choreographies covering the essential flamenco forms.

This year she will also be incorporating “palmas” (handclapping) which is a form of percussion used in Flamenco.

This appeals to those who don’t want to dance but would love to be part of the action.

Veronica has guitar accompaniment at all of her classes.

Flamenco dance is unique inasmuch as the dancer leads the musician – not the other way around. For this reason, students need to learn with live guitar accompaniment.

Students are very fortunate to have a flamenco singer occasionally join the classes.

During the year, visiting teachers occasionally give workshops which adds another dimension to the classes

SENIORS WEEK EVENTS

A poetry slam is the culminating event to be held as part of the celebrations for the 2019 Seniors Festival by Lithgow City Council and Lithgow Library Learning Centre. In the lead up to this event, spoken work wordshops will be held to give locals a chance to brush up on their poetry skills.

contribute to irregular bursts of energy and unexpected mood swings.

Research finds that eating healthy, nutrient rich and high protein foods, such as the humble egg, will keep you fuller for longer. This is linked to the fact that protein significantly impacts hormones that regulate appetite, signalling to the brain that no more food is needed.

Eggs also contain the amino acid, tryptophan, which is converted to serotonin in the body, a brain chemical that can improve mood and help with relaxation, proving eggs really can be your happy pill.

“Feeling ‘hangry’ means you’ll be grumpy and irritable, so understanding your body and being well prepared with a variety of healthy foods to eat can help you avoid this situation. Simply adding a high protein option, such as an egg, to your meal, or as a snack, will fill you for longer and uphold your feel-good vibe. Eggs are a great option and incredibly versatile,” Natoli continued.

The best way to improve mood through diet is to eat foods that contain a variety of key nutrients and vitamins.

Eggs are a great ‘good-mood’ diet staple, containing 11 different vitamins and nutrients and can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack.

Sharon Natoli’s Top Tips for Eating your Way to Happiness: Focus on eating plenty of nutrient dense, whole foods like vegetables, fruits, wholegrains, dairy, eggs, fish, nuts and seeds Include high protein and low GI foods together, such as eggs and wholegrains to keep you feeling fuller for longer and your blood sugar levels stable Minimise your intake of highly processed, sugary foods as high intakes can be detrimental to your mood Don’t cut out whole food groups – this can keep your body and brain short of particular nutrients needed for health and wellbeing including mood Eat foods rich in B-vitamins, omega-3 and vitamin D for good mood Don’t forget the importance of other lifestyle factors in keeping ‘a smile on your dial’ – adequate sleep, less stress, adequate physical activity and social interaction

During the wordshop participants will be mentored by a professional spoken word artist, who will provide guidance to participants to write their own poems and take their poetry to another level. There is more to poetry than just creating rhymes, with form and voice playing a very big role. The wordshops will take the writer through the various types of poems and writing styles as well as delivering them to an audience.

“Seniors Week is an important event on the Council and Library calendars. This year we have an art competition, poetry slam competition, an elder financial abuse seminar, as well as the wordshops which look like a lot of fun,” said Mayor Ray Thompson. “I encourage the community to get involved in Seniors Week events.

with new choreographies and fresh ideas.

Another feature of the FlamencoVero classes is chorus singing – an important part of the flamenco art form.

Students learn to sing in Spanish in a group whilst accompanying other students who are dancing. This is a wonderful fun part of the classes. Students at all levels are given the opportunity to perform at local venues in the Blue Mountains and further out west. For the past three years the students have performed at The Alexandra Hotel in Leura to a packed audience and accompanied by a group of five professional musicians and two singers.

Veronica’s tuition seeks to provide an environment beyond the dance and into the understanding of flamenco as an art form. Veronica has recently returned from Madrid where she continues studies with the masters in order to enhance her teaching skills. Classes are available for absolute beginners to advanced level. Beginner’s classes cost $30 and Intermediate level $40. There are “early bird options” available for big savings.

Enquiries: veronicagillmerflamenco@gmail.com - 0413 058 754

The wordshops will be held on Wednesday 6 and 13 February and Saturday 16 February between 10am and 12pm. Places are limited and bookings are essential. To book your place, contact Viktoria Gulabovski on 63549909 or by email viktoria.gulabovski@lithgow.nsw.gov.au.

Don’t forget to mark Thursday 21 February 2019 from 11am to 1pm in your diary for the poetry slam competition. This should prove to be a fun event culminating in a light lunch.

More information on this event will be available soon.
