COMMUNITY RECOVERY OFFICER TO SUPPORT RESIDENTS IMPACTED BY THE 2019 BUSHFIRES

Lithgow City Council is pleased to welcome Rachel Nicol (below, right) as Council’s new Community Recovery Officer to support residents impacted by the 2019 bushfires.

Announced in May 2020, this new 12 month role is funded by the Commonwealth and State Governments and will assist members of our community who were impacted by the bushfires and ensure that they continue to receive the help and support they need to rebuild and get back on their feet again.

In the months since the disaster, we have been in touch with many of those in the community whose residence or property was damaged or destroyed in the fires through: Recovery centres, assistance points, community meetings and through our mobile outreach activities. Rachel, along with representatives from state government agencies, health care, and charitable organisations will be at the Lithgow Library on Thursday 20th and Thursday 27th August between 3:00pm and 5:00pm to listen and advise on available options to assist with bushfire recovery.

Since the bushfires Council has been actively involved in coordinating the recovery effort mainly funded under Commonwealth Disaster Recovery Funding.

Recovery activities have included: • Coordinated works to make properties safe, particularly the removal of dangerous trees on private property.

• Cleared and cleaned up destroyed Council assets, including the Petra Avenue Playgroup facility at Clarence.

• Coordinated the installation of portable toilets (to replace burnt out toilets) at the Zig Zag Railway / Newnes Junction site.

• Purchased mapping software to identify bushfire impacted areas for future development.

• Undertaken stormwater clean-up works in the following bushfire impacted areas: Wolgan Valley, Vale of Clwydd (Lithgow), Farmers Creek (Lithgow), Glen Davis, Glen Alice, Clarence and Palmers Oakey. Clean up works include the clearing of roadside drainage, removal of debris from under bridges and rectification of damaged unsealed road assets.

• Developed a series of videos; “Welcome Back to

Lithgow” focused on destination marketing activities for the Lithgow region to assist tourism operators to recover from the economic impacts of the bushfires • Coordinated with Central West Entertainment & Events the successful “Lithgow Live ‘n’ Local” online concerts featuring local artists performing for small audiences at local venues during July.

Council will be continuing to work together with all relevant service providers and organisations to ensure members of our community have fair and equitable access to services which meet their needs and assists them in the recovery. We have partnered with Service NSW and Resilience NSW and in coming weeks, members of the community impacted by the Bushfires will be contacted and requested to participate in a short survey which will help us to: • Further understand their needs and identify how we can help them • Keep them informed about assistance that is available and refer them to services that can help.

Connecting with impacted community members and hearing from them will help us provide support to our community.

SMALL BUSINESSES URGED TO SEEK FINANCIAL COUNSELLING AS THEY CONSIDER THE FUTURE Demand for financial counselling is expected to increase markedly in the second half of 2020 as small businesses and sole traders realise the full impact on their trade resulting from last summer’s bushfires and ongoing shutdowns due to COVID-19.

General manager of the Small Business Bushfire Financial Counselling Support Line, Helen Davis said many small businesses and sole traders had exhausted their financial and emotional reserves, or they had few remaining.

“Small businesses are increasingly worried about how they will continue to run their business and make a living for themselves and their families,” Ms Davis said.

“Some small business owners are considering the viability of their small business and the option of closure.

They need support and the best available information to make these difficult decisions.”

Financial counsellors on the Small Business Bushfire Financial Counselling Support Line are providing free, independent, non-judgmental and confidential advice to small businesses about managing business and personal debt; disputing matters in external dispute resolution schemes; or renegotiating repayment arrangements on tax, lease, utility, supply or any other business debt.

Ms Davis said financial counsellors could provide information for grant or loan options to keep small business going or support a restructure. They could also provide information on how changes to the Federal Government’s JobKeeper program at the end of September may impact on them and their staff.

“Free and independent financial counselling is critical to business owners making the decisions that are right for them,” Ms Davis said.

“For those struggling with business and personal debts; or needing to negotiate repayment arrangements on their business debts, a financial counsellor can support you through the process of understanding your options and making those important decisions.”

Ms Davis said finding the appropriate government services and grants has been the first step for many small businesses in addressing the loss of trade following the bushfires and COVID-19 lockdowns.

“Ideally, financial counsellors want to be working with small business operators as early as possible, before

“We expect we will continue to see an increase in the number of businesses needing support in making decisions to restructure or close.

IWA were delighted to donate this money to Doreen for her mobile canteen, to be used to update equipment that will be an asset for the future.

Doreen does a magnificent job, together with all those volunteers, and is truly a worthwhile recipient. This donation was gratefully received with heartfelt thanks from Doreen.

Inner Wheel of Lithgow has in turn, thanked Inner Wheel Australia for their very generous donation.

The local branch put forward the Hartley District Mobile Canteen as a very worthy recipient of the donation.

"I was slightly involved initially, with Doreen Peters, who manages the Hartley Mobile Canteen, when the Gospers Mountain fire started to take hold, and saw what a wonderful, dedicated lady Doreen was," said Marilyn Tulley, President of Lithgow Inner Wheel.

"We were then only packing about 30-40 meals a day, at the height of the blaze, this number soared to over 300. The meals consisted of fresh salad, cold meats, fresh Doreen inside the canteen

news NOW IS THE TIME!

Better Business Column - By Steve Semmens, The Persuader

In tough times, many businesses start to review and then cut their costs including their marketing spend. Think seriously about going against this trend and increase your marketing budget as much as practically possible. Laura Fitton once said “Focus on the core problem your business solves and put out lots of content and enthusiasm and ideas about how to solve that problem.,” that is great marketing.

When is the last time you told your story, gave a sales presentation, advertised in traditional media, or posted on social media? Marketing consistently to your target audience is key to your success. Do you post daily, weekly or monthly? That may well depend on the type of business you’re in.

For example, businesses such as the Harvest Café, Country Coffee, or Macquarie Medi Spa will often post daily and their followers will be expecting that post to see when they are open and what is on special. At The Persuader we post once a week and write an article for LinkedIn once a month. We also have weekly newsletters promoting our training course for the month which goes directly to our subscribers. The great thing about today’s marketing channels is one post, article, blog, or update can be shared on many platforms, giving you the maximum exposure.

And what is your ROI, (Return on Investment)?

How do you measure if your marketing process has been successful? Traditional media can be hard to gage so when we get a potential customer enquiring about our services we actually ask them, “where did they hear about us”? Social Media platforms will usually have a system in place to collect and count engagements and you can work out quickly if your advertisement has worked or not and then you have the ability to adjust the advertisement very quickly.

BUSINESS RECOVERY POSSIBLE BUT ROCKY ROAD AHEAD

A recent survey by the state’s peak business organisation, Business NSW, suggests that businesses are less pessimistic about the months ahead, but there is still a long way to go to recovery.

“Our most recent quarterly Business Conditions Survey indicated that business conditions hit rock bottom in the June quarter, but capital spending, revenue, profit and staffing are approaching a turning point,” said Business NSW, Regional Manager – Western NSW, Vicki Seccombe.

“The relaxation of trading restrictions appears to have provided welcome relief for the most impacted sectors.

Accommodation and food service businesses recorded the strongest turnaround when asked to look ahead to the September quarter,” Ms Seccombe said.

“Easing drought conditions and the re-opening of our regions to visitors has bolstered the business outlook in much of Western NSW and provided a much- needed jolt for their business operations.

“Pleasingly, over 40% of Western NSW businesses reported they were more optimistic about the impact of

COVID-19 than they were in April, which is higher than the state average of 28%,” said Ms Seccombe.

“While there are positive signs locally, subsequent restrictions have still impacted business confidence with over 30% of Western NSW businesses reporting they are at a high risk of failure.

“Businesses were only just at the starting gate for drought recovery, then COVID-19 hit, so many have now well and truly exhausted their capital and savings.

“Businesses have entered a cost cutting phase which is starting to have a flow-on effect for customer demand, jobs and the potential for our economy to bounce back.

“This reaffirms the need for urgent action on the recommendations made in our Back on Track report which outlined a COVID-recovery plan to steady the economy and protect jobs.

“Governments should continue to work closely with industry to minimise the spread of COVID-19 and to avoid a further round of crippling restrictions which would further hurt the economy,” Vicki Seccombe said.

Are you marketing on a she string budget?

Advertising and marketing is the least expensive it has ever been and many social media platforms start at free and then you can boast posts for a few more dollars. Small businesses are now on a level playing field with big business when it comes to marketing opportunities so now is the time to invest in your business. Don’t let the current pandemic be an excuse, start marketing today!

NAMING PROPOSAL OAKEY PARK OVAL

Lithgow City Council resolved at the Ordinary Meeting of Council held on 27 July 2020 to place on public exhibition for 28 days a proposal that Oakey Park Oval on Bells Road Lithgow be re-named the Beryl Davis Memorial Oval in honour of well-known hockey coach Mrs Beryl Davis who recently passed away.

Known to Oakey Park residents as Aunty Bub, Mrs Davis sadly passed away on 27 April 2020. Aunty Bub was involved in both Lithgow Hockey and Zig Zag School Hockey for many years. She played an integral role in helping Mr. Ernie Johnson, former Principal of Zig Zag School to have the oval established in Oakey Park, including lighting and cricket nets, so the children of the school and the community could have use of the oval to play and train for their sports, particularly hockey.

After the exhibition period, any submissions will be reported to Council for consideration. If the proposal is supported by the Community and adopted by Council, it will then be forwarded to the Geographical Names Board of NSW (GNB) for approval.

Members of the public should forward their comments on this proposal by Friday 11 September to: council@lithgow.nsw.gov.au or PO Box 19 Lithgow NSW 2790

LITHGOW FLOODPLAIN RISK MANAGEMENT STUDY AND PLAN QUESTIONNAIRE

Over the next 12-month period, Council with the financial support of the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment will be developing a Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan.

The study and plan will consider the potential flood risks and balance these against the beneficial use of the floodplain by development, taking into consideration the environmental, social, economic and financial issues.

As part of the process in creating the study, Lyall & Associates have developed a Questionnaire to gauge community interest in flood planning controls.

Feedback from the questionnaire will assist in how Council will develop policies and strategies to better protect the community and current and future development from flood events.

The questionnaire can be filled in online at http://www.haveyoursay.lithgow.com/floodplain-risk-management.

Submissions will be accepted by Council up until the close of business on the 28th August 2020.

For further information, you can browse flooding information on Council’s website at: http://council.lithgow.com/lithgow-floodplain-management or contract our Strategic Planning Team on 02 6354 9999 or via email at Council@lithgow.nsw.gov.au.

“It also means that the staff responsible for programs such as the Building Better Regions Fund, the Stronger Communities Programme, and the Regional Jobs and Investment Packages will be able to see firsthand the positive impacts of their hard work at play in their local community.”

The new office has already created 23 permanent government jobs, adding to the five permanent staff already based in Orange.

Ten of the new employees have relocated with their families, further supporting the local economy through renting, purchasing new homes and children attending local schools.

When fully staffed, the office will employ up to 31 people, 26 of which will be new jobs in the region, in a variety of roles ranging from entry-level positions through to senior executive management.

Hi st

The launch of the office follows the branch’s relocation from Canberra under the Australian Government’s decentralisation agenda, supporting regional jobs and local economies.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Michael McCormack, who officially opened the new office on Byng Street, said the relocation supported the city by shifting public service functions from Canberra to Orange, generating local jobs.

“Today’s opening builds on the strong focus The Nationals in Government have always placed on decentralisation, boosting the Central West’s economy and delivering local jobs,” the Deputy Prime Minister said.

“Bringing public servants to Orange from Canberra makes them more connected to the regions and the communities they serve.

“It also increases accessibility for locals, connecting them to significant functions of government.

“Investment in regional centres always pays off for local communities and I look forward to Orange attracting high-calibre staff, who will bring with them a strong understanding of regional issues.

“Our decentralisation agenda is supporting regional jobs and communities at a time when it’s needed most.”

Minister for Decentralisation and Regional Education, and Federal Member for Calare, Andrew Gee, welcomed the Australian Government’s commitment of $4.7 billion from 2013-14 to 2025-26 to regional development programs.

“The new Regional Programs office in Orange is a fantastic example of the Government’s decentralisation agenda in action, and will complement the work of the Regional Investment Corporation’s head office which was established in Orange 2018,” Minister Gee said.

“The Central West, like many country communities, has

benefited immensely from the Australian Government’s regional development programs.

“They have provided vital funding for a range of projects across all four corners of Calare, including funding for the reactivation of the Oberon-Tarana Heritage Railway, a second racetrack at Mount Panorama in Bathurst, the expansion of the Glen Willow Regional Sports Complex in Mudgee and an MRI licence for Lithgow Hospital.

“These programs are making a real difference in regional Australia.

“That is why it is only fitting that the staff responsible for delivering these vital regional policies and programs are located in country Australia.

“The relocation of the Regional Programs Branch to Orange will create more local jobs and offers a great opportunity for public servants from across Australia to make the ‘tree change’.

More jobs are coming to Orange following today’s opening of the Australian Government’s new Regional Programs branch office in the New South Wales regional city.

CALLING ON SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS FROM LITHGOW TO SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCE To better understand the wellbeing needs of small business owners, participants from Lithgow NSW are being asked to share their experience.

The study is part of a research project to help inform and develop support and resources tailored to the rural small business community.

The research is being conducted by the University of Newcastle’s Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health (CRRMH) working with Everymind as part of their Ahead for Business project.

CRRMH Research Lead Dr. Kris Gottschall said the study aims to capture small business owner’s experiences by asking questions about their mental health, wellbeing, and support networks. “We know that small business owners face financial pressures, long hours, and a delicate work-life balance. For rural people, these stressors are compounded by drought,

bushfires, floods, and other adversities. “How these factors combine to affect mental health and wellbeing is largely unknown which is why we need this research to better understand what resources and support would help during this challenging time. “We invite anyone living in the Lithgow area who is over 18 and in small business to participate in this research and help us inform what needs to be implemented. “We estimate the time commitment will be between 1.5 – 3 hours and all participants will receive a gift card for their contribution,� Kris said.

HAVE YOUR SAY ON FLOOD PLANNING ISSUES - LITHGOW FLOODPLAIN RISK MANAGEMENT STUDY AND PLAN QUESTIONNAIRE Lithgow Council is seeking community feedback to assist in the preparation of the Lithgow Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan.

Council with funding assistance from the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment, and the technical expertise of Lyall & Associates, is currently undertaking the Lithgow Floodplain Risk Management Study and Plan. The purpose of the study is to assist Council in refining strategic plans and policies for mitigating and managing the effects of existing flood risk, future flood risk and continuing flood risk surrounding the channels of Farmers Creek and Marrangaroo Creek, as well as their major tributaries and areas identified with overland flooding potential.

To ensure the outcomes of the study are relevant to our community, Council is encouraging residents to fill out a questionnaire. The questionnaire can be completed online on Councils ‘Have Your Say’ website at http://www.haveyoursay.lithgow.com/floodplainrisk-management-2/ Some residents have also been provided the questionnaire by mail.

Council is particularly interested in the feedback of these residents as their properties have been identified as being within the Interim Flood Planning Area. A reply paid envelope has been included to make participation easy, just fill in the questionnaire and pop it in the mail.

Council encourages the community to fill out the Questionnaire to provide their input on community issues regarding localised flooding in the Lithgow and Marrangaroo Area before the 28th August 2020. “Floods can have a devastating impact on our community by causing major damage to property, infrastructure and potentially through the loss of life. This study is crucial to managing our floodplain risks and providing council a roadmap to make the necessary changes required to mitigate our vulnerability to future flooding events� said Mayor Ray Thompson. “We encourage the community to fill out the online questionnaire to ensure your views are heard while going through this process� Mayor Ray Thompson added.

GREAT WORK WALLERAWANG!

RUNS ON THE BOARD √ $1,363,500 for the Fixing Local Roads Program

I recently paid a visit to Wallerawang to check out the impressive new extension to the Wallerawang Community and Sports Club that has given this much-loved club a new lease on life.

√ $47,000 for Lithgow Halloween

The renovation was made possible with a $480,000 Australian Government grant.

The extension features a function area, kitchen, new bathrooms and a storage area. The club is at the heart of Wang’s community life and once we get through COVID, it will be able to host weddings and other major functions.

More functions and more people means the club has a more sustainable future and will be here to support the local community for many years to come!

Congrats to Jacko and the team who pushed for it, built it and made it happen. This is something to be very proud of. We’ll have an official opening once COVID settles down. Jacko has even agreed to have Triple M’s Neil Gill and I sing a few Slim Dusty tunes on the big day!

I just love visiting Wang! Drop in and have meal and a brew.

You’ll love it too!

√ $796,800 under the Local Road and Community Infrastructure Program √ $4,725 for the construction of pathways for improved wheelchair access at The Glen Museum √ MRI Licence for Lithgow Hospital √ $7,600 for restoration of the Tarana Village Recreation Reserve √ $6,375 for the Portland District Motor Club Andrew with Jacko at the newly renovated Wallerawang Community and Sports Club.

COMMEMORATING THE END OF WWII AND OUR VIETNAM VETERANS On Saturday we commemorated 75 years since Victory in the Pacific which brought an end to World War II, the conflict that claimed 39,000 Australian lives. It was to change our nation forever.

At places like Tobruk, Milne Bay, Kokoda and Coral Sea, Australians helped to turn the tide of the war.

On Tuesday, we also paused to remember those who served and sacrificed for Australia during the Vietnam War. Between 1962 and 1975 almost 60,000 served in Vietnam and more than 500 Australian lives were lost.

While COVID-19 meant that formal services weren’t possible, on both Saturday and Tuesday I joined veterans and community members in laying wreaths at Orange’s Cenotaph and Bathurst’s Carillon.

Our communities and our country are very grateful for all our veterans did for us.

In the face of the challenges we confront today, we can draw strength and inspiration from those great generations

of Australians which gave so much to ensure freedom and democracy would not die.

Lest we forget.

TEDDY SHEEAN’S BRAVERY & SACRIFICE RECOGNISED I was very pleased that Tasmania’s Teddy Sheean was recently awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross for his service in WWII. Ordinary Seaman Edward ‘Teddy’ Sheean was an extraordinary Australian and Australia will remain eternally grateful for his service, dedication and sacrifice.

After the order was given for the crew of the HMAS Armidale to abandon ship, Japanese aircraft strafed the Australian sailors who were overboard. Sheean then turned back, made for the gun, strapped himself in, and returned fire to the Japanese.

He fought to the very end. He chose to save the lives of his shipmates rather than his own.

Andrew at the Orange Cenotaph on Saturday, commemorating 75 years since the end of WWII.

A week after the sinking, 49 men from the HMAS Armidale were rescued. Many of these men owed their lives to the actions of Teddy Sheean.

The late President of the Lithgow RSL Sub-branch, Ron Murphy, was a strong advocate for a Victoria Cross for Teddy.

He thought it was a great injustice that the Victoria Cross was denied. Ron made representations to me, which I passed on to the Australian Government. And although Ron isn’t here to see this set right, he would be very pleased to hear this news.

√ $480,000 towards renovations and upgrades at the Wallerawang Community & Sports Club √ $300,000 for the Wallerawang Holistic Wellness Centre √ $201,000 for the Pipers Flat and Range Road upgrade at Wallerawang √ $60,000 for upgrades at Marjorie Jackson Oval √ $38,000 for the Lithgow Information and Neighbourhood Centre √ $10,828 for lighting and security upgrades at the Portland Golf Club √ $10,000 for Lithgow Women’s Shed

EDUCATION REFORMS - UPDATE I’ve had a lot of positive feedback from the statement I released recently on the proposed tertiary education reforms.

Country universities are supportive of the reforms because they deliver the key outcome of university places for country universities (and therefore Commonwealth grants funding for courses) growing at a faster rate than city universities. This is as it should be. Regional loadings are also included in the package.

While the country universities want to see the reforms pass, they have also suggested changes which The Nationals and I have put out for public discussion.

These changes are:

√ $64.3 million for the Forty Bends road upgrade

√ $10,000 for local drug action group

1.

Removing social work, behavioural science and mental health disciplines from the humanities funding cluster (the most expensive cluster) and realigning them with allied health studies 2.

Seeking changes to the design of the Tertiary Access Payment to ensure that this measure is targeted at supporting country students as well as country universities.

3.

An extension to the proposed grandfathering measure so that no student enrolled in a course of study prior to 1 January 2021 will pay a higher Student Contribution Amount (SCA). This change will ensure that part-time and online students, many of whom reside in country areas won’t be disadvantaged.

√ $9,963 for the Wallerawang Men’s Shed to carry out an electrical upgrade and purchase new tools √ $9,000 for iPads and technology upgrades at Meadow Flat Public School √ $6,000 for play equipment at Zig Zag Public School √ $4,570 for iPads for the Lithgow Information and Neighbourhood Centre

MAJOR PROGRESS BEING MADE ON $8 MILLION GREAT WESTERN HIGHWAY SAFETY UPGRADES AT MEADOW FLAT Major progress is being made on safety upgrades to a two kilometre stretch of the Great Western Highway near the Meadow Flat Public School.

Bathurst MP Paul Toole said today the $8 million project was expected to be completed in late November with some minor delays due to the wet weather.

“Motorists will notice heavy machinery on site doing excavation work to rebuild the roadway,” he said.

“Earthworks and culverts are progressing well and the asphalt contract has been awarded.”

Mr Toole said the section of the Great Western Highway is a key route for residents, visitors and the freight industry alike, connecting the centres of Lithgow and Bathurst.

“The highway upgrade involves rebuilding the road, improving drainage and widening the centreline and shoulders,” he said.

“The widened shoulders and widened centreline will improve safety by allowing room for vehicles to recover should they leave the roadway, and road resurfacing will improve journey times and trip planning by providing a more reliable stretch of road.”

Mr Toole said this work follows the recent completion of a $2.1 million upgrade at the nearby intersection of the Great Western Highway and Range Road.

“The combined aim of these safety improvements is to ensure those who set off on a journey return home safely,” he said.

Work will be carried out between 7am and 6pm from Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm on Saturdays.

A reduced speed limit of 40 km/h and traffic controls will be in place for the safety of road users and workers.

UPDATED COVIDSAFE GUIDELINES FOR NSW SCHOOLS Updated health advice announced today will ensure that NSW public schools can continue to operate full time with face to face teaching and learning throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

Schools remain safe, however, school communities must remain vigilant.

From Wednesday 19 August, all public schools in New South Wales will be required to adopt the changes to ensure school communities remain safe inside and outside the school gate.

Anyone with symptoms of COVID-19 is prohibited from returning to school until a negative test result has been reported.

Under additional measures for Term 3: • Students must remain within their relevant class or year group to limit mixing • Schools must not travel outside their local community or zone, including between rural and regional areas • Interschool sport and zone carnivals are restricted to 100 people per venue and must be held in the local area • Spectators, including parents and carers, are not permitted within school grounds or at sporting events held during school hours • All group singing and or other chanting activities, as well as the use of wind instruments in group settings are not permitted • Dance activities and drama group work can continue under a COVID-19 Safety Plan School formals, dances, graduation or other social events are not permitted. Schools may hold a Year 12 assembly at school without parents to recognise the completion of school or consider delaying events until later in the year.

Students and staff required to support HSC students are permitted to undertake activities to meet their HSC requirements with COVID-19 safety measures in place.

Organisations that use school buildings or grounds must have a COVID-19 safety plan in place and encourage strict compliance with that plan.

The new restrictions will complement existing health advice for schools, including maintaining good hand hygiene inside and outside the classroom, physical distancing for adults and banning nonessential school visitors.

A full list of the changes is available at https://education. nsw.gov.au/covid-19/advice-for-families.

TAFE NSW LITHGOW OPENS ITS TIMBA REHEARSALS GET VIRTUAL DOORS TO CAREER ADVISORS High schools across the Lithgow UNDERWAY region have welcomed an

The cast for the upcoming mental health story-telling event TIMBA The Show Bathurst were on stage for the first rehearsal for the upcoming October event.

The unique event casts ten people from the local community sharing stories of living experience of mental health issues live on stage through poetry, music, dance and spoken word pieces.

The cast are working hard to refine and craft their stories in their own words to help break down the stigma that surrounds mental illness and hopefully encourage others to reach out to share their stories.

Tickets for the show will be on sale in September through the TIMBA website www.thisismybraveaustralia.com

innovative virtual event that will equip local career advisors, teachers, and principals with the most up-to-date advice about school-based and post-HSC options at TAFE NSW.

The online TAFE NSW Career Advisor Day will combat the travel and event restrictions that COVID-19 has presented meaning that hundreds of career influencers from across the state will come together virtually on 20 August.

TAFE NSW Deputy Regional General Manager Adam Bennett said that online access has seen registrations double compared to the face-to-face events in 2019 and that the pandemic is not debilitating the flow of critical information to school leavers.

“COVID-19 has presented unprecedented challenges to school students and it’s crucial to facilitate access to information about how they can access world-class skills training.

“While university may be a viable option for some, it’s important that vocational education and training is considered a ‘plan A’ for school leavers to pursue careers in areas that they are passionate about,” Mr Bennett said.

The virtual event will focus on forecasted employment opportunities, courses, university pathways, and support services.

According to the Australian Government’s Job Outlook, there will be a demand in industries where employment has grown strongly in recent years including health care and social assistance, professional, scientific and technical services, education and training and construction.

Mr Bennett said that Australia’s largest training provider is committed to ensuring that the pathway for

students from high school into, and out of, vocational education and university is as easy as possible.

“School students need access to better, and easier to navigate, educational pathways and a wider range of options when it comes to their post-school education – whether that’s university, TAFE, private training providers, or all three.

“The education sector has a role to play in making sure no matter where students are in life, their eyes are opened up to new career directions and can pursue the option which best suits them” Mr Bennett said.

Career advisors and counsellors can register for the TAFE NSW virtual Career Advisor Day by visiting tafensw. edu.au/careeradvisor or calling 131 601.

The Great Gatsby, Sunday 23rd August at 9:00pm on WIN Peach Looking for some old Hollywood glamour in your Sunday night viewing - then look no further than Aussie Baz Luhrman’s take on this literary classic. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and a few more Aussie’s like Joel Edgerton and Vince Colosimo.

It's the spring of 1922 and wide-eyed Midwesterner Nick Carraway (Maguire) has just moved to New York City in pursuit of the American Dream. Settling into a home next door to wealthy Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio), Carraway grows increasingly fascinated by the elaborate parties held at his new neighbour's estate.

Meanwhile, across the bay, Carraway's cousin Daisy (Mulligan) flounders in her marriage to philandering aristocrat Tom Buchanan (Edgerton). Inspired by the debauchery on display at Gatsby's wild parties and the lives of the wealthy elite, Carraway begins putting pen to paper as it gradually becomes clear that his cousin and the millionaire share a complicated romantic past that remains unresolved.

BSTREETSMART GOES ONLINE TO EDUCATE YOUNG DRIVERS More young drivers from regional areas will benefit from an annual road safety initiative, which has now gone virtual to drive home the consequences of risk-taking on our roads.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said students from Kandos High School would be among more than 25,000 students across 200 schools to take part in the bstreetsmart program from their classrooms this week.

“The bstreetsmart program teaches young drivers about the dangers of risky road behaviour in an interactive way to encourage them to make safer choices when they get behind the wheel,” Mr Toole said.

“The death of anyone on our roads is a tragedy, but when it’s a young person with their whole life ahead of them, it is particularly heartbreaking.

“Between 2015 and 2019, 267 novice drivers died in crashes in NSW – and 184 of them were killed on country roads. We are doing everything we can to bring this number down, which is why the NSW Government has invested $30,000 so that these important messages can be delivered online this year.”

Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning Sarah Mitchell said programs like bstreetsmart were an important part of the comprehensive education our students receive at school.

“Our public schools in NSW aim to provide students with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate life beyond the school gate, which is why I’m pleased our students can participate in programs like this,” Ms Mitchell said.

Bstreetsmart, an annual event in its 16th year, is the

brainchild of Westmead Hospital trauma nurses Julie Seggie and Stephanie Wilson, and usually involves a reallife simulated crash scenario, interactive displays and presentations from road trauma survivors and family members at Qudos Bank Arena.

“We couldn’t run the program as normal this year because of COVID-10, but we were determined to drive home the powerful messages the program brings, so we’ve

taken it online,” Ms Wilson said.

“It means even more kids from regional areas will be able to take part this year. We’re really happy that even during a pandemic we’re still able to get the message out about road safety in a way that remains powerful and thought provoking for the students.”

HELPING KIDS COPE THROUGH A YEAR OF EXTREME EMERGENCIES

– FREE RED CROSS WEBINARS

“Dealing with such an unprecedented disaster season and now Covid-19 is putting pressure on all of us, and knowing how to read the signs and support our children will help us all cope better,” says Red Cross consultant psychologist Natalie Fraser.

“If your children are suffering sleeping problems, feeling stressed with changes, or are generally low, there are things you can do as a parent to help them.

“It’s as simple as knowing what to look out for, and giving kids helpful tips to better cope with stress, and focus on what they can control, in what might be the first major disruption in their life.”

Red Cross National Resilience Adviser John Richardson says, “Recovery from a bushfire, flood and even Covid-19, so that we live the lives we value takes time, but anything we can do to support each other can be helpful long term.

“Red Cross has many resources for parents and carers for emergency situations and this webinar is another step to help Australian communities support their loved ones, in a crisis,” he says.

TWO NEW RECRUITS FOR CHIFLEY POLICE DISTRICT

The NSW Government has extended the deadline for applications to the $3,000 Small Business Recovery Grant and expanded the number of highly impacted industries able to apply.

MORE INDUSTRIES TO BENEFIT AS SMALL BUSINESS RECOVERY GRANT EXTENDED The NSW Government has extended the deadline for applications to the $3,000 Small Business Recovery Grant and expanded the number of COVID-19 highly impacted industries able to apply.

The deadline for grant applications has been extended to 31 August 2020 with 18 additional highly impacted industries included.

We know small businesses have been doing it tough and these grants are designed to help them at a critical time.

By broadening the number of industries that can

apply, we are giving more small businesses the opportunity to access the support they need to relaunch their operation, ensure their business is COVID-safe and welcome back customers and clients.

It’s important we continue to support the economic recovery and we know our support measures are playing a vital role in keeping people in jobs and businesses in business as we continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Small Business Recovery Grant provides between $500 and $3,000 for expenses to get enterprises back to business, including for marketing and advertising expenses, fit-out changes and training staff on how to work safely under the current health conditions.

The 18 industries added to the highly impacted list

The Chifley Police District command will be a safer place with the addition of two new police officers, after they attested at a private ceremony at the Goulburn Police Academy last week.

I extend my congratulations to the new recruits on their dedication and hard work as they enter the NSW Police Force as probationary constables.

Our recruits of Class 342 come at an important time for the state of NSW and they can be assured they have the full support of this government as they step into their career in law enforcement and service to the community.

Their graduation comes after more than eight months of world-class training at the academy and offer a boost to the local community as we continue to face the COVID-19 crisis.

On behalf of the community, I am pleased to welcome these officers to their new command. Police put their own safety on the line to protect our community every day, and I commend these new officers for their dedication and wish them every success in their policing careers.

REMEMBERING VP DAY

VP Day on August 15, 1945 was the official end of a war in which nearly 1 million Australians served in the armed forces. More than 39,000 Australians lost their lives, more than 23,000 were wounded, and more than 30,000 were taken prisoner of war.

The day does not receive as much fanfare as other days of commemoration of our armed services, but as it celebrates the end of the conflict which came at such a high cost to our country, it is one that perhaps needs more focus.

Local military enthusiasts from Lithgow Living History, and many visitors from all across the state celebrated the day in a uniquely Lithgow fashion at the gun emplacements, standing with a flag supplied by local Federal Member, Andrew Gee. This is the same flag which Australian troops marched under into WWI & II. This was one of the few events possible this year due to the pandemic, attendance was down, however the group managed to commemorate the occasion, and many of the people visiting told stories of their connection with the emplacements and also of family members who served in the conflict.

Lithgow Living History Members came from all over the state to participate in a COVID safe event to mark the occasion.

GETTING THROUGH THIS TOGETHER The National Mental Health Commission (NMHC) today announced #GettingThroughThisTogether – a national conversation to support the mental health and wellbeing of Australians as the uncertainty around COVID-19 continues.

#GettingThroughThisTogether builds on the success of #InThisTogether launched in response to the pandemic in March, and acknowledges the continuing challenges for many Australians, as we navigate the compounding impacts of the pandemic.

Six months on, research conducted by several organisations, governments and universities has identified, and confirmed, the impacts of pandemic lockdowns and restrictions on at-risk groups, as well as the broader community. This includes the social and economic stressors challenging our collective mental health and wellbeing such as unemployment, access to education, financial insecurity and uncertainty.

Christine Morgan, CEO of the National Mental Health Commission said: “We have been affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in different ways. The reality of the longevity of COVID-19 and its uncertainty has set in, and along with it comes fatigue and frustration as some jurisdictions are forced to return to, or canvas, increased restrictions.”

“When we know how difficult something is, it is usually harder the second time. This is particularly the case for young people and the vulnerable.” #GettingThroughThisTogether has prioritised key atrisk groups including: • Women and children who are living in unsafe homes and victims of family and domestic violence • People struggling with financial stress and distress due to unemployment • Young people, especially those who are undertaking year 12 and at university • Women who shouldered a large share of the household burden during the first lockdown and are facing it once again • People who are already vulnerable, living by themselves or have been dislocated from their community and support services #GettingThroughThisTogether acknowledges the stressors and difficulties of COVID-19 and provides simple and practical tips to support Australians’ mental health and wellbeing.

NMHC Chair, Lucy Brogden, said the mental health and wellbeing of all Australians remains a key pillar of the national response to COVID-19.

“GettingThroughThisTogether has been developed in collaboration with our country’s leading mental health organisations and social issues experts. The advice and tips build on the core evidence-based findings since March 2020

Thought of the Week Story and image by Roz Townsend

A lot of discussion is taking place right now about how our society/ community is only as strong as our weakest link. Most industrialised societies work on a philosophy of winning and supporting their strongest links.

However, it is our weakest links that have shaken the world right now especially in relation to COVID-19.

Our hospitals, for example, may have the best doctors but they are limited in effectiveness due to poor availability of masks, tests and medical supplies.

Similarly, although hospitals may have the best doctors it is the nurses and every day staff who interact with patients the most. ‘Should they therefore be paid more?’ Is one of many questions being asked.

One thing this crisis has done is to strip away the unnecessary things in life and have us focus on the basics. Weak link problems can be tackled by far more people, for example, people are now making masks in their homes without the need for a scientist.

In this pandemic, two trends have accelerated: firstly, the rise of distrust and misinformation, and secondly

22

the rise of loneliness and isolation. These are weak link crises which confront everyone. If we are to move forward, there needs to be a repair of the damage to both truth and to relationships.

to support Australians’ mental health and wellbeing and respond to the experiences we are living with now, and likely to be living with over the coming months.”

There are 10 new practical tips developed in collaboration with more than 20 mental health and social service organisations to help all Australians to get through these extraordinary times: • There is no place for domestic or family violence - help is here • Caring for yourself helps you care for others • Financial stress is real stress – seek free support today • It’s better not to bottle up your feelings – Take steps to change your drinking habits • Make a routine that works for you • Your support can make a difference – connect with people each day • Choose me time over screen time • Play your part - feel good by doing good • Help is available if you reach out • Make a break a regular thing “We need to care for one another, despite being physically separated. We need to check in with family and friends by calling them or connecting via video if we can. The power of a person’s voice rather than typed words on a screen can be very powerful way to make a real connection, and we need to be heard,” said Ms Morgan.

“It is important we make a decision to get through this together. Help is available in many forms if and when you need help, or you know someone who needs help.

Please connect with one of the many free support lines available or seek help with your GP or with one of the professional services.”

Problems occur when people who come from traditionally strong-link situations work in charge of weak-link organisations. They don't understand the problem; they've got strong people at the top, so what could go wrong? This has potentially catastrophic ramifications in our technology driven society.

A strong link team is not mistake driven but rather, it is purely driven by success. Yet it is through reframing ‘mistakes’ as ‘valuable feedback’ that real progress can be made.

The world is becoming more complex and there is a need to develop more weak link teams than strong link teams. The complexity of most businesses and organisations means that a small number of people cannot hold enough information or understand fully what is going on day-to-day. Leaders need to understand more fully what the whole team knows and then act on that knowledge.

Considering all of the above, on an individual level, one of the most important jobs going forward will be helping people to: • eat well • sleep • exercise • be relevant Source: https://munkdebates.com/podcast/malcolm-gladwell

MIDWEST RUGBY LEAGUE UPDATE With five rounds completed and two to be played, two teams still remain undefeated in Midwest Rugby League’s Wallerawang Landscaping Cup. Story and Photos by John Fitzgerald

Unbeaten Oberon and Cargo are on a collision course for the final-round showdown in two weeks’ time, but Cargo will need a win against Orange Barbarians this week to go into the round-seven game on 14 competition points, along with Oberon who have the saloon passage with this week’s bye.

On the last weekend of August Oberon will host the final regular season match between the premiership front runners before the semi-finals begin on

Kandos’ Daniel Skourmallas scores against Orange Barbarians at Wade Park

September 5, and much interest surrounds this game even at this early stage, and the winner of this game may well take the minor premiership.

In last Saturday’s round of matches Cargo sneaked in with a 14-12 win over the now-desperate Orange Warriors who have not won a game since the secondround clash with Kandos.

At Oberon the Tigers won convincingly 28-8 over CSU in a game expected to be much closer.

Since CSU’s impressive win in the night game against Orange Warriors they have now lost both games against equal leaders Oberon and Cargo.

Wade Park hosted an entertaining match-up between Orange Barbarians and Kandos Waratahs, with the home team taking the honours 22-20, a game where they held the lead throughout and Kandos playing catch-up football for the entirety.

After five rounds Oberon and Cargo straddle the top of the table on 10 points each, with CSU and Orange Barbarians sharing equal third position on six points.

The Warriors have been pushed into fifth spot and will need to work hard on their discipline to unlock their potential to gain semi-final reckoning.

Their final-round game against cross-town rivals Barbarians looks like being a play-off for fourth spot in the semis, a full-blown match-up in every sense, the importance of the game threatening to take some gloss off the table-topping Oberon and Cargo hit-out.

This week’s games has Orange Warriors at home to Lithgow Bears, Cargo hosting a Barbarians side eager

sport

Impressive new Group 10 referee Amy Draper officiated in the Barbarians versus Kandos game

to ensure their semi-final credentials before their final competition game, and CSU to play Kandos Waratahs at Kandos.

In leaguetag Cargo crushed the Warriors 42-nil, CSU had a decisive 34-16 win over Oberon, and Barbarians defeated Kandos Tiara-tahs 18-4.

CSU and Cargo hold the top two spots on the leaguetag table, with Oberon in third and Barbarians in fourth position. Kandos are one point behind the Orange side with the possibility to leapfrog them into the semi-finals in their final game in two weeks.

SHANNONS SHARES ITS PASSION FOR HOLDEN AT BATHURST Shannons, Australia's leading insurance provider for motoring enthusiasts, will sponsor the Holden Bathurst Revival at this year's Bathurst International (November 12-15) event.

The Shannons Holden Bathurst Revival will celebrate the racing history of Holden at Australia's most iconic racing circuit in the final year of the legendary brand.

The event will feature a series of spirited, untimed track sessions open to Holdens from 1948 to the present era and encompassing almost every circuit racing category that the marque has been represented in.

Shannons is the insurer of choice for thousands of car and motorcycle enthusiasts, offering tailored products such as limited use and club plate cover, laid up cover for vehicle restorations and insurance for daily drives.

Shannons’ partnership with the Holden Bathurst Revival and Bathurst International complement its support of more than 1200 motorsport and enthusiast events around Australia, including the Shannons Motorsport Australia Championships featuring categories such as TCR Australia and S5000, and a long-running association with the Touring Car Masters series.

"Shannons is delighted to be a part of the Bathurst International as the naming rights sponsor of the Holden Bathurst Revival," said Paul Gates, National Sales Manager, Shannons Insurance “Shannons is Australia’s premier insurer of classic Holden vehicles and we are as passionate about the Holden brand as our members are. A celebration of the great Australian car maker at the iconic Mount Panorama is an occasion we don’t want to miss, which is why we’re proudly supporting this unique and exciting event.” said Mr Gates.

The popular Shannons Super Rig activation will feature at Bathurst International in the Harris Park precinct adjacent to Pit Straight, which will also be the location for the Shannons Holden Bathurst Revival paddock.

The Shannons Holden Bathurst Revival is expected to attract a large field of unique and interesting racing Holdens, with early entries including a range of Commodores from the 1980s to 2010s that raced in the Bathurst 1000, while early models are currently represented by FX (1947-1951) and FE (1956) Holden entries.
