Editor's Note I do appreciate that water is a touchy subject for a number of our communities at this point in time.

With interruptions to service, low pressure and other issues in our region, there are many in the community that are not happy with the current situation.

The reason I chose to run this story on the front page was to hilight just how important a resource

water is to our communities and to ensure that everyone continues to be Waterwise into the future. We are lucky in the Lithgow region to have an abundance of supply, but how quickly that can change if we think of it as an endless resource. Water is what we are made of and something we must focus on for our regional communities to survive and thrive into the future.

Rich Evans, Editor

WATER NIGHT – A NATIONAL CHALLENGE TO BECOME WATER MINDFUL ...from front page

Residents are being encouraged to register to participate in the first ever national Water Night to be held across Australia on Thursday, 22 October 2020.

Lithgow City Council and not-forprofit water efficiency experts Smart Approved WaterMark are inviting residents to participate in the national water appreciation event to raise awareness around habitual water use and improve water mindfulness.

Water Night commences Thursday 22 October, during National Water Week.

Residents are being asked to not use running water and to survive for one night on just one bucket of water for all household needs between 5pm and 5am (with the exception of drinking water, CovidSafe handwashing, religious purposes and flushing). Register now to participate in Water Night 2020 at https://waternight.com.au/#register Smart Approved WaterMark’s research identified that Australians are all very much on auto-pilot when using water. The study shows that 55% of people say they are addicted to their taps and 63% think they could save more water than they do.

By limiting the use of taps for one night, Water Night highlights just how often we reach for our taps and how subconsciously it’s done. Being aware of how we use water helps to gain a whole new perspective on how we use and save water now and in the future.

For more information on Water Night, including access to tools and registration, visit www.waternight.com.au You can monitor your water use by signing up for MiWater. MiWater allows

you to access your water meter data in near real time so you can see where and how much water is used around the home. To sign up for MiWater, please visit www.lithgow. miwater.co

Thursday 22 October 2020 5pm-5am No taps. One bucket.

Letter to the editor On International White Cane Day (15th October), we at Guide Dogs NSW/ACT want to highlight the need for awareness of white canes.

White Cane Day was created to highlight the important role mobility assistance devices play in helping people with low vision or blindness lead safe and independent lives. This year, our campaign is celebrating the fun, fearless and adventurous spirit of our young Clients and cane users who live life to the fullest, with many engaging in everything from skateboarding to gymnastics.

For many people with low vision and blindness, a white cane is one of the first tools they may learn how to use as part of orientation and mobility training, and for children, a white cane is often the key to their first experiences of independence and freedom. It is a tool they will count on throughout their life.

A white cane is the mobility tool of choice for the majority of Guide Dogs Clients because of its practicality and the way it can give sensory feedback about the surrounding environment, but also its importance as a

visual signifier to others in the community of low vision and blindness.

But right now, a white cane is more than a visual symbol that someone has low vision or blindness. It is also a visual symbol that the person using the white cane can’t easily maintain a 1.5-metre distance from others.

We’ve heard many stories from our Clients who are being increasingly cautious about what environments they travel in with their white cane, aware of the fact that they can’t easily see others to socially distance.

This International White Cane Day, we are asking the community to be aware of people using a white cane. You can help them continue to move safely, confidently and independently through any environment, by giving them 1.5-metres of space.

I’d also like to thank everyone who has extended their support to Guide Dogs or our clients, or to anyone who has shown an extra bit of kindness to someone in need this year.

Council is asking all residents in the areas of Portland, Wallerawang, Lidsdale, Cullen Bullen, Glen Davis and Rydal to continue to conserve water due to the WaterNSW water main break reported Tuesday 13 October.

Residents in these areas are urged to limit usage to necessary water use and conserve water until further notice. Please do not utilise water for washing cars, watering lawns and gardens, limit shower times, only wash clothes and dishes as necessary. Please do not fill tanks, baths etc as this is placing additional demand on the system and depletes water in storage reservoirs.

Council wishes to re-enforce that there is sufficient water to maintain a safe supply and if residents are water wise Council and WaterNSW will not need to implement emergency measures.

Should these measures need to be taken to provide a supply of water, the water provided will be untreated water and may not be fit for human consumption.

Should this occur residents will be required to boil water for an extended period, therefore we are asking residents to conserve water so these measures are not required to be implemented.

Council and WaterNSW wishes to apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, should you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Council on (02) 6354 9999 or email council@lithgow.nsw.gov.au or if you are a customer of WaterNSW please contact WaterNSW on 1300 662 077 or email Customer.Helpdesk@ waternsw.com.au

Issue 332 - 16th October 2020

HOW MUCH DO I NEED FOR RETIREMENT? Most pre-retirees fear running out of money in retirement more than anything else. That’s why, as retirement specialists, the most common question we’re asked is, “How much do I need to retire?”

It’s okay, you’ll probably have enough

In our experience, there’s no ‘magic number’ for a super balance. We have seen clients retire with $250,000 in super and live more successfully in retirement than millionaires.

A funny thing happens when people retire. A few months into retirement, people start feeling more confident about their finances. That’s because they are still able to do the things that are most important to them.

Home ownership more important than super

Asking ‘how much is enough’ is the wrong starting point. It’s better to do a stock take of where you are today and make the most of your opportunities.

If you have excess savings capacity, it’s time to get your debt in order. Especially your non-tax-deductible debt, like credit cards, personal loans and your mortgage.

Start with the smallest debt first and pay it out. You’ll feel encouraged by your

success and move on to the next one.

According to CoreData research, a key driver of retirement success is whether or not you own your own home. So, try to enter retirement with your mortgage repaid. Even if that means you need to access your super to extinguish it.

Don’t forget about the age pension

Keep in mind that Australia has a world-leading financial safety net; our age pension system. For a pensioner couple, this can be more than $37,000 a year. While most older Australians receive the age pension, not everyone gets that much. Your financial assets interact with the Social Security system and reduce your entitlements under the means test. But even couples with up to $876,500 in financial assets in addition to the family home are eligible for a part pension.

That’s why you’ll probably have enough in retirement. Besides, there’s more to life than money. And there’s more to a successful retirement than money.

What’s clear is that you always have options and opportunities to improve your retirement. If you’re wondering if you’re making the most of your opportunities, give us a call. We’d love to run the numbers for you.

EVA MENDES ANNOUNCED AS AMBASSADOR FOR MCHAPPY DAY 2020 McDonald’s Australia has today announced Hollywood actress, businesswoman and mother, Eva Mendes, will be taking on the role of McHappy Day 2020 Ambassador.

The largest annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia, McHappy Day raises vital funds that help keep families together when their child is seriously ill or injured.

Although unable to visit Australia due to travel restrictions, Eva Mendes, who has had starring roles in Hitch, The Other Guys, Ghost Rider, The Place Beyond

the Pines, 2 Fast 2 Furious, We Own the Night and Ryan Gosling’s Lost River, will be lending a hand by encouraging Australians to get behind McHappy Day. This year, from Wednesday, 21st October Australians will be able to support Ronald McDonald House Charities by picking-up a pair of Silly Socks or a Helping Hand from their nearest McDonald’s or via McDelivery.

In addition to funds generated from the sale of Silly Socks and Helping Hands during October and November, $2 from every Big Mac sold on Saturday, 14th November will also go to the charity.

Eva, who will host virtual meet and greets with families currently staying at Ronald McDonald House, is proud to be the ambassador for this important cause.

Eva Mendes said, “Although I can’t travel to Australia this year, I am really proud to be the 2020 Ambassador for McHappy Day. As a mum, I couldn’t imagine being away from my children when they need me most, so I feel so honoured to be involved in such an important initiative.

“McHappy Day is a meaningful fundraiser put on

by McDonald’s, which helps Ronald McDonald House Charities keep families together while their sick or seriously injured child undergoes treatment in hospital.

“Aussies can get behind the McHappy fundraising efforts by heading to their local McDonald’s from the 21st of October and picking up a pair of Silly Socks, a Helping Hand or simply making a donation. And on Saturday 14th of November, McHappy Day, $2 from every Big Mac sold will also go to Ronald McDonald House Charities,” said Mendes.

Jo Feeney, Marketing Director, McDonald’s Australia, commented, “We’re so pleased to have Eva as our 2020 McHappy Day Ambassador, helping us to raise crucial funds for Ronald McDonald House Charities. Eva’s passion for supporting children and families in their time of need, makes her a fantastic advocate for McHappy Day. “Since McDonald’s first started McHappy Day nearly three decades ago, the fundraiser has raised more than $51 million for Ronald McDonald House Charities. These funds have played a vital role in helping the charity keep thousands of families together when they need it most.”

Barbara Ryan, Chief Executive Officer, Ronald McDonald House Charities, added, “This year has been especially tough for families of seriously ill or injured children, and as a charity we’ve had to stretch ourselves and adapt the ways we operate to continue to support these families during this challenging time.

“We are so excited that Eva is lending her voice to McHappy Day, which is the single biggest annual fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia this year.

The money raised through McHappy Day is critically important to enabling us to continue to do the work we do.”

Australians can show their support for McHappy Day in a number of ways, including: • Picking-up a pair of $5 Silly Socks, or Helping Hands for $2, $10 or $50 from Wednesday, 21st October from their local Macca’s or via McDelivery • Buying a Big Mac on Saturday 14th November from their nearest McDonald’s or via McDelivery, with $2 from every Big Mac sold on McHappy Day going directly to RMHC • Making a donation online by visiting www.rmhc.org. au/give

Acting Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said a tunnel under Blackheath would deliver the best result for preserving the village’s character and heritage as well as smoother and safer journeys for motorists travelling in, around and through the Blue Mountains.

“This is a complex project and we wanted to work with the people who know Blackheath best to ensure we identified the best options for the community,” Mr Toole said.

“For the past six months, the Blackheath Co-Design Committee - which brought together representatives from community groups, local council, emergency services, and Transport for NSW - has been doing just that and has helped shape the way forward.

“We’re now asking for the community’s feedback on two tunnel options under Blackheath – options that will ensure minimal impacts to property, improve safety and congestion through the village and provide an alternative route for emergency services.”

The tunnel includes three possible portals: - A northern portal next to the Mount Boyce Heavy Vehicle Safety Station; - A short southern tunnel portal option located in Sutton Park; and - A long southern tunnel portal option south of Evans Lookout Road.

Mr Toole said the Centennial Pass and Station Street bypass options had been removed from consideration.

“We told the Blackheath community we would provide certainty on route options for the Great Western Highway upgrade and we are providing that certainty today,” Mr Toole said.

“We also want to hear from the community about other suggestions for improvements that could be made to the existing highway to improve safety and connectivity in Blackheath.”

Tunnel options for Blackheath are still in the very early stages of strategic design as part of the $2.5 billion Great

LITHGOW CITY COUNCIL TO DELIVER COMMUNITY AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES THROUGH FUNDING FOR MAIN STREET ENHANCEMENTS

Lithgow City Council has received funding from the NSW Government’s Streets as Shared Spaces program to deliver enhancements to Pioneer Park and adjoining intersection.

The Streets as Shared Spaces program provides one-off funding to support Councils to develop quick response pilot projects that test ideas for streets as safe, shared spaces. Lithgow City Council will test recommendations from the NSW Government’s Road Safety Plan 2021 for safer vehicle movement by installing temporary kerb buildouts to narrow the carriageway at Main Street and

Bridge Street and widen the pedestrian walkway across the bridge.

The grant will also deliver enhancements to Pioneer Park, enabling Council to further improve this public space, following the installation of a new toilet block and bus shelter. The removal of walls and damaged brick path surfaces will create an open green space, and temporary furniture, plantings and cultural activations will transform the site into a space for community reconnection.

“These interim works will deliver a vastly improved green space for Main Street. They will also create community feedback to inform the next stage of the CBD Revitalisation Plan,” Mayor Ray Thompson said.

“These initiatives can stimulate local economic activity without impacting business operations in the process.”

$250 MILLION ANNOUNCED FOR BUSHFIRE RECOVERY IN NSW Businesses and communities in the Lithgow region will now have access to a new $250 million fund for local infrastructure and initiatives that will drive economic and social recovery, boost morale and help bushfire-ravaged regions get back on their feet.

I encouraged councils, business chambers, joint groups, businesses, charities and local Aboriginal Land Councils in our region to pitch their recovery ideas when applications open at the end of the month.

Grants of between $200,000 and $20 million will be available for projects such as: local community and cultural infrastructure; tourism infrastructure, campaigns and regional events; workforce adaptation and work ready training programs; community wellbeing and mental health programs; and neighbourhood safer places.

Alongside this open call for project ideas, shovel-ready projects are being identified in bushfire affected areas, so they can be considered and fast tracked to provide community and economic benefit as quickly as possible. Information about these projects will be released in coming weeks.

Applications open on 27 October 2020. For more information, including guidelines, visit https://www.nsw.gov.au/blerfund This funding is in addition to the $250,000 recently received by Lithgow City Council for bushfire recovery under the Bushfire Community Recovery and Resilience Fund.

This funding stream will allow the development of locally based projects that will directly benefit recovery efforts, allowing locals impacted by the fires to continue to rebuild their lives.

Stream 1 of the BCRRF provides funding for shorter-term projects, including council-led small-scale community grants programs.

Stream 2 will see grants of between $20,000 and $300,000 for community groups, councils, joint organisations, NGOs, and not-for-profits in the local government areas that were disaster-declared during the 2019-20 bushfires to fund social recovery and preparedness projects.

The road to recovery for Lithgow is a long one, but these big funding boosts will go a long way to help gets local communities and businesses booming again.

WHERE WOULD WE BE WITHOUT THE CWA?

Andrew at the 95th CWA Central Western Group AGM with President Jan Kerr and Treasurer Bev Worrall

It was an honour to attend the 95th CWA Central Western Group Annual General Meeting recently.

Ninety-five years is an incredible record of service and advocacy for country communities and I took the opportunity to thank our wonderful Central West branches for all they do for us.

The CWA is one of our greatest Australian institutions and has always been there supporting, assisting and advocating through the good times and bad.

Thank you CWA - we really appreciate you!

DECENTRALISATION SUMMITS TO PUT REGIONAL AUSTRALIA IN THE BOX SEAT Regional Australia is in the box seat to lead the nation’s post-COVID economic recovery under the Australian Government’s new plan to turbocharge regions like Calare.

importance of regions like Calare, and the fact that an increasing number of Australians are choosing to call the bush home.

I recently announced the next phase of our decentralisation agenda: a series of Summits to bring together leaders from government, private sector, peak industry bodies and the tertiary education sector for high level discussions.

Under the Budget, the Australia Government will invest $41 million in two programs which will see successful recipients relocate to regional Australia, creating more jobs and business growth and addressing supply chain issues.

I was joined at the announcement by my colleague, Minister for Agriculture David Littleproud, as well as Jock Whittle and Harvey Gaynor of Paraway Pastoral Co. - a fantastic example of a successful decentralisation initiative

by Macquarie Bank.

The Package contains two independent programs: $35 million for the Securing Raw Materials Program to invest in research activities linked to the development of practical and locally-sourced raw material supplies; and $6 million for the Regional Cooperative Research Centre Project Program to provide one-off grant funding to eligible entities for short-term industry-led research collaborations, tailored to regional Australia.

The Decentralisation Summits will help to guide investment, business attraction, job creation and enhance the competitive advantage of regions while also ensuring greater sectoral collaboration.

The recent 2020-21 Budget saw historic investment in regional Australia, recognising the strategic economic

We want to ensure that government, industry, research and education sectors have a shared vision to drive the success of our regions and future economic prosperity.

news EMPOWER AND INVEST IN YOUR PEOPLE! “Hire great people and give them the power to be awesome!” – Andrew Mason, Founder, Groupon

"I want staff that are well trained, have great experience, can think for themselves, and show initiative." I have heard the above statement said so many times, by business owners and managers, and yet most businesses do not create an environment conducive to influencing this type of behaviour.

To get well trained staff in an industry, it is the obligation of all organisations to invest in their people, not just the one or two businesses who do it extremely well. Thoroughly trained staff usually results in happy customers, engaged staff, and an innovative culture that resolves ongoing issues at all levels of the organisation. Companies who invest and empower their people constantly outperform their competitors and are often an employer of choice.

One of the main reasons employees leave their jobs is because they wish to develop and grow their skills and knowledge and that opportunity is often not available. Why? It is a cost that owners and managers can't always see a tangible return on investment. In order to save on training costs they try to hire staff who already have the skills and experience for the job. Due to this short sighted thinking, there is now a HUGE shortage of skilled people because whole industries have cut down on training, apprenticeships, and traineeships.

If you invest in your people you will reap the following benefits: - Have competent well trained and engaged staff - Retain and attract good staff - Instills loyalty and commitment - Lifts the quality standards of work completed - Lifts the standards of the whole industry - Save money and time due to increased efficiencies - Staff are more motivated and take less sick days If you have well trained staff you can then empower them to use their own initiative and expect them to come up with solutions to issues they encounter in their day to day work. There is no need for micromanagement and you can grow capable leaders at all levels of the organisation who will already be trained to step up to the next position of responsibility.

Empowered staff become very innovative and seek ways of continuously improving their own performance and that of the company.

Empowered staff become leaders and not just non thinking, zombie workers. They create new products and services. They are engaged at work and customers love them.

"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." — George Smith Patton Jr., World War II general.

To become a high performance company you MUST empower and invest in your people!

Issue 332 - 16th October 2020

47 JOBS SUPPORTED IN CHIFLEY ROAD UPGRADE The new road over rail bridge on Chifley Road at Clarence is delivering safer and more efficient journeys between Bell and Lithgow, as part of the NSW Government’s $95 million Great Western Highway and Bells Line of Road upgrade.

Acting Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said work was now complete on the road approaches to the new Clarence Bridge, which opened to traffic in February this year.

“For two years we have had teams working to build two new lanes of traffic, a wider and safer bridge, and also knock over safety upgrades along the adjacent Chifley Road,” Mr Toole said.

“With the new bridge and road upgrade project now completed, I am glad to say most of the construction material was sourced locally and 47 people were employed to carry out the project.

“We were able to maintain two-way traffic for the duration of the two-year construction to keep traffic flowing through the area.

“Work on this project, which started in October 2018, was at times spectacular, with a 750-tonne crane lifting five 56-tonne girders on top of the bridge supports in September last year.

“The project team was faced with many challenges as a result of devastating bushfires, extreme volumes of heavy rainfall, snow and high wind speeds all occurring at various stages during the project, but the team soldiered on to deliver this project on time and in budget.”

The scope of the project also included upgrade work for a safer intersection of Chifley Road and the road leading into the Clarence Colliery.

The existing bridge, built in 1943, was demolished in February this year, which involved cutting and removing segments of the bridge using a 250-tonne crane. The NSW Government provided $24.2 million to build the new bridge.

UPGRADE: Member for Bathurst Paul Toole at the over rail Clarence Bridge on the Bells Line of Road near Lithgow where work has now been completed on the new road approaches.

JOB-READY GRADUATES PACKAGE GIVEN THE TICK OF APPROVAL WITH REGIONAL UNIVERSITY PLACES TO GROW AT A FASTER RATE The Australian Government’s Job-ready Graduates Package which creates additional regional university student places and provides more money for country students and universities has received positive backing.

The Coalition Government and Senate today endorsed the Job-ready Graduates legislation with amendments advocated for by The Nationals in government. The key amendments include: · Social work, mental health and psychology: The Job-ready Graduates Package funding clusters will be amended to align social work and other mental health disciplines with allied health in the Commonwealth Grant Scheme (CGS) funding cluster 2. · Tertiary Access Payment (TAP): The Tertiary Access Payment will now be paid directly to universities to then be provided to regional and remote students through scholarships. This change will level the playing field for our country universities and allow them to attract new students through scholarship incentives. · Grandfathering: The Department of Education, Skills and Employment will not proceed with the initial grandfathering date of 1 January 2024. This change will make it easier for Australians balancing work and family commitments to upskill and be ‘job-ready’. It also means that students currently studying online or part-time won’t be caught out by potential fee structure changes in 2024.

Minister for Regional Education, Andrew Gee, said the amended Job-ready Graduates Package was positive news for the bush, with an additional $400 million in funding and faster domestic student places growth for regional universities.

“The Package has received widespread support, with regional universities and prominent tertiary education networks such as the Regional University Network backing the legislation - it’s fantastic to see the Australian Parliament do the same.

“The regional universities like that Commonwealth supported student places grow at a faster rate for country universities, they like the $21 million for Regional

University Centres and they like the $48.8 million to support their research and development programs.

“The Package demonstrates in a very tangible way that the Australian Government is backing country universities, country students and country communities.

“Regional Australia is facing its biggest jobs crisis since the Great Depression, with the impacts of the drought, bushfires and COVID-19 pandemic hitting communities hard.

“Now is the time for our university system to respond to this challenge by strengthening its focus on Australian students.

“I want each and every Australian, no matter where they live, to have equal access to a world-class education and job opportunities following graduation which is why I fought so hard for amendments to the Job-ready Graduates Package.

“I believe the successful amendments will help bridge the gap between country communities and the cities, including the divide in educational attainment and access to services such as mental health.

“This Package delivers real benefits for the regions and I will continue to work closely with country universities and country communities to ensure they are well positioned to take advantage of the many opportunities that the Jobready Graduates package offers.”

KREMER PARK TOILET DEMOLITION

The community is advised that the public toilet block on the Lime Street side of Kremer Park is being demolished to make way for a new toilet.

The existing masonry toilet block does not meet current standards and has no accessible toilet nor baby change facility and will be replaced with a modular twin accessible and self-cleaning Exeloo toilet.

Demolition will occur during the week beginning 12 October with the new toilet to be installed prior to Christmas 2020. During this time, an alternative toilet is available on the Kiln Street side of Kremer Park.

These works are funded through the Commonwealth Government’s Drought Communities Program For further information phone Council on 6354 9999.

news TIMBA ROUNDUP ON WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY Issue 332 - 16th October 2020

Last Saturday was World Mental Health day. Whilst there have been a number of initiatives throughout the month to focus public attention on the issue of Mental Illness, the sunny Saturday morning popup performance by TIMBA cast members was definitely a very public way of engaging with the community.

With poetry, music and performance included in the event, it gave locals an idea of what is in store for the TIMBA Show next Tuesday 20 October at BMEC. The focus then shifted to the TIMBA Film Festival held in Keystone which showed some amazing films. This was followed by a panel discussion on suicide prevention, with representatives from both Lifeline and project partner RAMHP. The TIMBA Show will be a chance for cast members to share their experience in their own unique way and will hopefully show the community that we need to reduce the stigma around mental illness, and it all starts with telling stories.

Shaft, Saturday 17th October at 10:30pm on Nine After watching the footy finals, this action packed flick from 2000 is exactly what you need to either celebrate or commiserate, depending on your team. Starring the always cool Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction), Vanessa Williams (The Eraser) and Christian Bale (Batman). An epic sequel was released last year starring the 1970’s original Richard Roundtree as Shaft Snr, Jackson as Shaft and Jessie T Usher as JJ Shaft - another great one to catch.

Cool and deadly NYPD detective John Shaft arrests Walter Wade, Jr. in a raciallymotivated slaying. The eye witness disappears, Wade jumps bail for Switzerland, and Shaft is livid. Two years later, Wade returns to face trial, confident his father's money and influence guarantee an innocent verdict. Can Shaft find the missing witness, convince her to testify, and shepherd her through the hail of bullets aimed at them both?

Issue 332 - 16th October 2020

C R E AT U R E Pet Mental Health Last week you read that October is Mental Health Awareness month.

Whilst you are in this state of appreciation for yourself, I also ask that you turn your thoughts to your pets.

What is the state of their mental health?

It’s not always easy to tell. Especially if their behaviour hasn’t changed. Like us, our pets go through life stages & are affected by our lifestyles more than we realise.

So, let me tell you about the work I do. A therapy for all creatures – but especially for our pets. A way to acknowledge what is going on internally for our pets-emotionally, physically & mentally.

The therapy is called BodyTalkô. Invented by an Aussie, over 20 years ago. It’s a scientifically proven modality.

It works on the premise that bodies know how to heal

LITHGOW LIBRARY Online Author Talks Coming Soon…

Coming soon for fantasy readers we will be in conversation with Garth Nix, as he discusses “The Lefthanded Booksellers of London”. Lauren Chater, will also discuss, “Gulliver’s Wife” and Mary Li will be available to tell the other side of the story to “Mao’s Last Dancer.”

themselves, however the lines of communication & its state of consciousness get disturbed by everyday stressors & experiences.

It is no different for our pets. Cue the reasoning behind a lot of behavioural changes.

I worked just the other day with a mature Labrador.

He has been with his owner since a pup & also lives with several other pooches. Up until recently they all got along and had done so for years. However, one day this particular pooch suddenly turned on his mate in a moderate attack. It happened again to this dog & one other. His person, a human client of mine asked me to session him. What we revealed was a mix of functional, environmental & pathological disturbances within his systems. Once these factors were highlighted, we repaired & restored balance. During the session you could hear & see him processing it all.

His person contacted me the following morning to tell me just how much of a difference the session had already

Author Talk by Garth Nix

Lithgow Library Learning Centre will be participating in an online collaborative author talk presenting Garth Nix’s new novel, “The Left-handed Booksellers of London”.

Garth Nix has been a full-time writer since 2001, but has also worked as a literary agent, book editor, book publicist and has undertaken many other interesting professions.

Garth Nix has sold more than five millions copies of his books worldwide, and titles have appeared on bestseller lists of The New York Times, Publishers Weekly and USA Today.

The Left-handed Booksellers of London is a new fantasy adventure set in 1980’s London and follows one girl’s quest to find her father, leading her to a secret society of magical fighting booksellers who police the mythical old world when it disastrously intrudes into the modern world.

NSW Public libraries are pleased to present a series of online author events. This event is being facilitated through Zoom, and will take place online on Tuesday 3 November 2020 between 6.30 pm and 7.30 pm.

made, not only for the dog I worked with, but for the whole household.

Her exact words were, ‘Everything that came through the session made so much sense & is helping me to fit the pieces of the puzzle together…You are one divine & gifted woman & I can’t thank you enough!’

She will continue to regain harmony within the group by working with a behaviourist & further BodyTalk sessions. For now, things are looking up for the status of her dog’s mental health.

Mardi Williams from Creature Speak is a pet therapist assisting animals with past experiences, internal balancing & transition into new environments.

WALLERAWANG/ LIDSDALE CWA

Wallerawang/Lidsdale CWA held their AGM this week and Executive Officers were elected.

The executive voted in consisted of President Margaret Henning, Secretary Kay Adams, Treasurer Sue Holt, International Officer Gwen Dykes, Publicity Julie Livingstone, Councillors, Sue Holt and Marion McCrossin, To raise much needed fund the group will be holding a garage sale on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th November at the CWA Rooms Tweedie Street Wallerawang.

Image: Member for Bathurst Paul Toole has welcomed new laws to simplify rules for landowners wanting to reduce bushfire risks on their properties.

SIMPLIFIED LAWS FOR LANDOWNERS AND NSW RFS TO MANAGE BUSHFIRE RISK Great to see changes to laws to simplify rules for landowners wanting to reduce bushfire risks on their properties and give the NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) Commissioner sweeping new powers to direct hazard reduction activities.

Amendments to the Rural Fires Act 1997 means rural landowners can clear up to 25 metres on their property from the boundary without having to go through a time consuming approvals process.

A Code will be developed and will have regard to issues such as clearing in endangered and threatened species habitat as well as clearing for non-bushfire risk mitigation purposes.

The NSW RFS will also be given stronger and clearer powers to audit and address bushfire risks, ensuring

public lands are treated the same way as private land holders.

A new statutory obligation will be created requiring all complaints about hazard reduction activities, including those relating to public authorities, to be forwarded to the NSW RFS Commissioner for assessment and action.

The NSW RFS Commissioner will have the power to issue Bushfire Hazard Reduction Notices to public authorities in circumstances where vegetation should be cleared to protect lives or property.

And if mitigation works are not undertaken in a timely manner, the NSW RFS can undertake such works and send the land manager the bill.

The good news is that this is landowner-friendly

legislation as well as putting public safety above all else.

HELP YOUR FAVOURITE SUPERCARS PRO ESERIES TEAM SAVE LIVES THIS BREAST CANCER AWARENESS MONTH Drivers are hitting the ‘virtual’ track this October for more than just a place on the podium – they’re driving to save lives.

Repco Supercars Pro Eseries has teamed up with worldleading breast cancer research organisation Breast Cancer Trials. Together, they will host ‘Pink Fundracer’, a first-of-itskind fundraising event to support breast cancer clinical trials research that will save lives – www.pinkfundracer.com.au.

Held in October to coincide with Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Pink Fundracer challenge provides an opportunity for motorsports enthusiasts and online gaming fans to support breast cancer clinical trials research that will change the future for all women and men at risk of breast cancer.

Drivers in the 2020 Pro Eseries will not only go head-tohead on the track, they’ll also be racing each other to the top of the Pink Fundracer leaderboard with each driver committed to raising critical funding for breast cancer research.

From 12 October until Round 1 of the Pro Eseries, fans across Australia will be encouraged to support the Pink Fundracer challenge by sponsoring their favourite driver or team.

For Round 1, the cars will be liveried in pink to raise awareness about the devastating impact breast cancer has on Australian families and to encourage fans to donate to the interactive Pink Fundracer website.

Round 1 will be broadcast live on Fox Sports, Kayo, Supercars Facebook, Twitch and YouTube on 27 October from 8:30PM. You don’t have to wait until Round 1, you can donate now. So, get behind your favourite team and driver because every dollar raised will help Breast Cancer Trials find new and better treatments to save every life from breast cancer – www.pinkfundracer.com.au.

There are still more drivers and teams to announce their involvement in the Repco Supercars Pro Eseries so stay tuned for the full field of drivers to be announced and added to Pink Fundracer page on October 19th.

Like many charities in Australia, whose fundraising income relies heavily on large-scale public events, Breast Cancer Trials has lost vital funding this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The partnership has come at an opportune time for both Breast Cancer Trials and Repco Supercars Pro Eseries, as the online racing scene surged in popularity earlier this year when the BP Supercars All Stars Eseries – involving every current Supercars driver – took center stage during the COVID-enforced absence of real-life racing.

“Pink Fundracer offers a unique opportunity to participate in a fun and impactful fundraising event from the safety of our own homes. Unfortunately, even during a pandemic, breast cancer marches on and over 20,000 Australians will be diagnosed this year,” said Julie Callaghan, Chief Operating Officer – Fundraising and

THINGS SEEM A BIT QUIET AROUND THE MOUNTAIN… BUT THE BIG RACE IS READY TO RUN THIS WEEKEND

Normally at this time of year you cannot move in Bathurst. Locals would shop in advance to avoid the crowds, streets would be lined with people watching parades of trucks and drivers all the way up William Street.

However in this new socially distanced world, none of these usual events are taking place.

This could be the first real evidence of the way things have changed in the region, as the usual economic boost to the economy is nowhere to be seen, and even though we are in some respects getting to the end of the COVID pandemic, the hard reality is clearly evident this week.

There is not even any noticeable activity around the track, aside from it being closed, there is some setup going on but only a fraction of what you would normally expect.

This will be the last year the race will be known as the Supercheap Autos Bathurst 1000 with the Supercheap brand no longer the naming rights sponsor of the event.A new sponsor will be announced, with rumours suggesting Repco, but nothing offical has yet been release by the Supercars organisation.

The main focus however of course should be on the race this weekend, with only minimal crowds able to be catered for, it’s a chance to invite some mates over, put on a BBQ and watch the race at home, or even head to a local pub and watch it on the big screen.
