FUTURE OF LITHGOW AGED CARE SECURED!

NEW PROVIDER TO TAKE OVER OPERATIONS Federal Member for Calare, the Hon Andrew Gee MP, said that he was delighted at the news today that the administrators of Lithgow Aged Care Limited (LAC) have finalised an agreement for a new accredited provider to take over the operation of the LAC facility.

“Today’s news means that Lithgow Aged Care has been saved and can stay open. Most importantly, residents will not have to move. This is a huge relief.

“It’s been a really worrying and anxious time for the whole community. We’ve all been deeply concerned about LAC’s failure to meet standards of critical care. We’ve also held grave fears for the physical and mental health of residents in having to find a new home. The uncertainty has been very stressful for the dedicated staff of LAC as well.

“The compliance issues LAC was having with the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission in meeting the required standards, plus the insolvency of LAC, mean that a new, reputable and accredited provider is the best outcome for residents, families, staff and the community.

“I am particularly pleased that the incoming provider, Respect Group Limited (Respect), is a community-based, not-for-profit, sharing the same values that LAC was originally built upon. I think it’s going to be a very positive partnership with the Lithgow community.

“I’d like to thank the federal Minister for Senior Australians and Aged Care Services, Senator the Hon Richard Colbeck, and also the federal Department of Health, who have provided critical emergency funding to LAC for over 12 months and who have undertaken considerable work and provided further support to help enable this transaction to take place.

“I’d also like to acknowledge the administrators, Ernst & Young, for their diligent work, and the Aged Care Quality

and Safety Commission for constructively working through this very complex situation to achieve a really positive result for residents, staff and the community.

“Once the transaction has settled, Lithgow Aged Care will once again be able to accept new residents as the new provider, Respect, is not under sanctions or restrictions from the Commission.

“The Commission recently extended LAC’s accreditation for 90 days to 16 July 2021 and Respect will have to satisfy the Commission that Lithgow Aged Care can operate beyond that date. I have every confidence that they will be able to achieve this as an experienced and reputable provider.

“This news means that this period of great turbulence and uncertainty can now be put behind us and Lithgow Aged Care can look forward to a new era of growth, stability and quality care for the people of the Lithgow region.”

RESPECT AGED CARE COMMITS TO THE FUTURE OF RESIDENTS AT LITHGOW AGED CARE A binding agreement has been executed today to transfer the ownership of Lithgow Aged Care to Respect Group Limited (Respect).

Respect is a specialist residential aged care organisation with aged care homes across New South Wales, Victoria, and Tasmania, and experience in aged care turnarounds.

The Administrators and Respect anticipate completing the sale of business and assets on 16 April 2021, at which stage Respect would take over operation of the facility and secure the long-term future of Lithgow Aged Care, allowing it to reassess current processes, grow and thrive under new management.

Speaking on behalf of the LAC Board, Olwyn King, said that the Board is very pleased with today’s announcement.

“The transfer to Respect would finalise an association with Respect that started in 2019. Respect and LAC care about our community and believe that good aged care services are critical. We share a similar history, values and a genuine care about the service we provide.”

“As a small provider, LAC has faced many challenges. Respect understands these challenges and by taking ownership and responsibility, they would be able to use their expertise to maintain and improve our service.”

Mrs King said that the Board would like to thank Ernst and Young for their tireless work in recent months and residents, staff and volunteers for their loyalty and trust.

“We are honoured that Respect has chosen LAC and we all look forward to a bright future of residential aged care in Lithgow.”

Respect Managing Director, Jason Binder, said whilst there were significant challenges ahead in relation to the current sanctions, he was confident the staff were there for the residents, and that Respect's systems and processes would allow the site to become compliant very quickly.

"When I visited the site, I talked to many residents

who said they loved the place and didn't want to move. That's always a good sign and usually indicates that the staff are well intentioned and often providing good care. It will be challenging for staff to adapt to new systems and processes, but I'm confident in them and we'll do it as a team. Having good staff is always a great place to start. It's the most important thing in providing a safe and supportive home for our residents."

"We're particularly excited for the residents who now don't have to move to another home. It would be horrible to believe you were in your last home with everyone and everything familiar, only to be told you need to shift somewhere else, to an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. I'm delighted that Respect can ensure their home will remain their home for as far as the eye can see."

Mr Binder, said it would be a seamless transition for existing residents at Lithgow, with a strong commitment by all staff to ensure consistent quality care. “Our objective, from a staffing point of view, is for as little disruption as possible. Our aim is to ensure the individual needs of both residents and staff are carefully looked after with their ongoing well-being our main priority. We will provide the necessary assistance to help staff and residents with this transition.”

Mr Binder also said the development of the site would continue.

"Once we get the home compliant, which is something we can do quickly, we will continue the development of the site up to 108 rooms plus a specialist secure dementia area of 30 rooms. There has been a series of negative events, but we can see huge amounts of potential and we know we'll turn the home into an amazing asset for the Lithgow community, and something everyone can be proud of. Its future is not only absolutely secure, it's going to become a best in class aged care home."

“The administrators from EY have been working around the clock with all parties to ensure the best outcome for the home and I would like to thank them for their tremendous efforts in keeping the home open for the Lithgow community.”

The Administrators and Respect anticipate completing the sale of business and assets on 16 April 2021

IMPROVED PEDESTRIAN AND DRIVER SAFETY AT MAIN AND BRIDGE STREET INTERSECTION

Weather permitting, the intersection at Main Street and Bridge Street will be closed Monday 12th and Tuesday 13th April 9pm – 3am to facilitate line marking and the installation of a temporary refuge island.

This will narrow the carriageway on Main Street turning left into Bridge Street to reduce blind spots.

Through Streets as Shared Spaces funding, the project enables Council to trial recommendations from the CBD Revitalisation Plan to make the intersection at Bridge Street and Main Street safer and welcoming for both pedestrians and drivers. The minor works will also test traffic calming recommendations from the NSW Government’s Road Safety Plan 2021 for safer vehicle movement.

“The Streets as Shared Spaces funding is a unique opportunity to trial additional control measures at the busy intersection before implementing permanent change,” Mayor Ray Thompson said. “These works and recent enhancements at Pioneer Park aim to deliver a green and safe space for the community on Main Street.”

“WE WILL REMEMBER THEM” AT THE LITHGOW LIBRARY The Lithgow Library will be presenting a gallery of Australian Victoria Cross (VC) recipients in the days preceding and after ANZAC Day 2021.

The Victoria Cross is the pre-eminent award for acts of bravery in wartime and is Australia’s highest military honour.

It is awarded to persons who, in the presence of the enemy, display the most conspicuous gallantry; a daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice; or extreme duty to duty.

Australians have been awarded the Victoria Cross in conflicts from the Boer War (1899-1902) to the war in Afghanistan.

Come and learn what these courageous servicemen did and place a poppy in their memory if you wish. Paper poppies will be available from library staff.

Having spent most of his life in Haiti in Central America, but also having lived in Africa and being of Afro-Caribbean descent, Jques Alamod is influenced by a range of musical roots, and the event will reflect this, with two of Sydney’s African DJs, DJ Kimani and DJ Zinger, and a group of dancers trained in street latin dance styles, such as salsa, bachata, reggae and more.

Along with these international musical influences, are Jques’ new roots that are put down in Lithgow - and the night will feature local artists Dave Webb and Sam Bucca.

Music is a prominent part of Haitian culture and the country’s independence - and is played and shared socially in all kinds of settings and at all skill levels, as a way of expressing and coping through all kinds of situations. “Singing and writing songs is the way that helps me go through the hard times,” says Jques Alamod.

It’ll be a big night of fun and dancing, with food and drinks available for purchase at the location.

All ages are welcome, and as Jques Alamod says, “It’s not just an event for young people - music and dancing has no age limit! Your support will mean so much to me.”

news THE IMPORTANCE AND VALUE OF BUSINESS NETWORKING Better Business Column by Steve Semmens, The Persuader

“Networking is the No. 1 unwritten rule of success in business.” – Sallie Krawcheck

Over 95% of all business owners I’ve ever spoken to have indicated that they would like word-of-mouth referrals to be the main source of sales leads. Over 80% of business owners have indicated that they dislike cold calling and most of them will do anything to get out of having to get on the phone and call people they don’t know.

Issue 355 - 16th April 2021 My view has always been when I get a customer I want to keep them for life. To enable me to do that I first have to meet the right type of customers for my business, initiate and develop long-term relationships, and service the hell out of them. 98% of my sales leads come through attending networking events and word-of-mouth referrals from my current customers. I utilise some social media advertising purely for brand awareness.

When the going gets tough networkers get networking. We all have our ups and downs in business and when we get into hard times, if you have strong relationships with your customers, you have a higher likelihood of surviving compared to other businesses that don’t. Networking has proven time and time again to give the best return on investment in relation to meeting and initiating relationships with potential customers.

Good networkers get over a 90% hit rate in making appointments with potential clients after meeting them at a networking event. It is also much easier to measure your ROI on the dollars you may spend on networking activities. Networking creates more strong sales leads than advertising and cold calling.

I often get asked, “why do you continue to go to networking events when you have plenty of clients?” My answer to this is, that you continually need to top up your client database as all businesses have an attrition of clients that has nothing to do with the client been unhappy with my services. The client may retire, go out of business, and move away. Networking gives potential clients the opportunity to meet me face-to-face and decide if they like me or not. Upon developing this initial rapport, it gives me the opportunity to make a further

LITHGOW A POSSIBLE ELECTRIC BUS MANUFACTURING HUB The Lithgow and district Chamber of Commerce believes the New South Wales governments electric bus fleet rollout plans will accelerate much more quickly if a local manufacturing hub is established in the Lithgow district.

“The New South Wales government's commissioning of 50 new locally manufactured electric buses as well as the mooted changeover of the entire fleet of 8000 diesel buses to electric power by 2030 could be a fantastic opportunity for Lithgow,” said Lithgow Chamber President, Peter Pilbeam says. Electric bus trials are currently being conducted in Sydney.

According to Mr Pilbeam, the NSW Government’s electric

vehicle vision presents a great opportunity for it to invest in our great manufacturing capability here in Lithgow and create a boost for local employment opportunities and local businesses. The advantages of establishing an electric vehicle manufacturing hub in Lithgow include our proximity to Sydney and our experienced energy sector workforce. We also have an excellent site or two in mind for the hub that could be up and running almost immediately.

“I note that WSROC, the group of eight Greater Western Sydney councils through their President Clr Barry Calver has nominated Lithgow as a possible ideal centre for the establishment of an electric vehicle manufacturing hub,” said Mr Pilbeam.

“Lithgow Chamber will urgently press our case to the NSW Government as we know there will be other regions vying for this great opportunity,” said Mr Pilbeam.

appointment to then explain and sell my services to that potential client.

It also takes a considerable amount of time, money, and effort to organise a networking event and I feel that is my responsibility as a local business owner to support as many networking events as possible either by attending or through sponsorship. The more business owners meet and mix the more business that gets done.

Every successful business leader lists networking as a key success factor.

It has been proven time and time again that regular networking can be the difference between success or failure of a business especially in hard times such as the current pandemic. I encourage you to actively seek networking opportunities that cover your client target market.

Network and prosper!

This news means that this period of great turbulence and uncertainty can now be put behind us and Lithgow Aged Care can look forward to a new era of growth, stability and quality care for the people of the Lithgow region.

I understand that Respect has big plans for improving the I’d like to thank the federal Minister for Senior Australians and facility, including opening a specialist secure dementia area, Aged Care Services, Senator the Hon Richard Colbeck, and which willl be invaluable for the Lithgow community.

RUNS ON THE BOARD FOR LITHGOW √ $1.3 million for the Lithgow CBD revitalisation

√ $201,000 for Piper’s Flat Road and Range Road Intersection upgrades √ $6,000 for new equipment for Lithgow Men’s Shed √ $1.24 million for an expansion of Three Tree Lodge √ $10,000 for Portland’s Men’s Shed to restore Kremar Park Bath House √ $1.1 million for the upgrade of Glen Davis Road √ $64 million for the upgrade of the Forty Bends on Great Western Highway √ $55 million for the upgrade of the Great Western Highway through the Hartley Valley √ $1.06 million for the headspace outreach service √ $2.235 million for Lithgow’s Blast Furnace Park √ $60,000 for Marjorie Jackson Oval √ $2 million for local projects under the Drought Communities Program

EXTRA $159,127 FOR GLEN DAVIS ROADS Lithgow City Council will receive a further $159,127 from the Federal Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program to spend on maintenance and gravel re-sheeting of roads in Glen Davis village which will support eight fulltime jobs while its being carried out. It’s another really worthwhile local project and will certainly help the bushfire recovery process.

More and more people are discovering the stunning natural beauty of the Capertee Valley and the roads are seeing increasing traffic. Improving these roads for both

residents and visitors is something the local community has been very keen to see happen. While the bushfires and COVID-19 have both been devastating, one of the silver linings has been stimulus money made available to fast track local council infrastructure projects.

The Australian Government committed $500 million for Phase 1 of the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program and a $1 billion extension for Phase 2. A variety of worthy projects in Lithgow have received funding through this important program.

√ $10,828 for Portland Golf Club (solar lighting, digital pass locks, door replacement) √ $1.36 million for roads upgrades including sealing Hartley Vale Road √ $480,000 for an upgrade of Wallerawang Community and Sports Club √ $796,800 for local road upgrades in Lithgow √ $704,000 for tree removal private property

COUNTRY CRUISIN FOR CAN ASSIST A HUGE SUCCESS Organisers of the event last Sunday were overwhelmed at the support and response from the motoring enthusiasts that all turned out for a great cruise from Bathurst down to The Foundation's in Portland with over 180 vehicles taking part.

The cruise rolled out from the Rockabilly café on Sunday morning and arrived in Portland around 11am, causing what could be the very first traffic jam in the Main Street of the small town.

With entry donations, raffles and silent auctions on the day a total of just over $18,000 was raised and will be donated to the Bathurst branch of CanAssist helping local families living with cancer.

Even though the weather was cooler than expected, the entire crowd had a great afternoon, all for a worthy cause.

BATHURST STEPS BACK IN TIME Lovers of old world heritage trades and activities came from far and wide last weekend for the return of the Bathurst Heritage Trades Trail.

Photos courtesy of Vicky Hartley

The event attracted more visitors on Saturday than the entire two days in 2019, the last time the event was held.

Last year’s event was cancelled due to the COVID lockdown, bu this year with restrictions lifted the momentum has not been lost at all and organisers feel it is right on track to become a major drawcard for the regions tourism sector in years to come.

With more than half the visitors to the event coming from outside the Bathurst Region, it is clearly attracting a unique audience of visitors t the region.

The day featured displays and exhibitions of vintage machinery and motorbike through to working wood carver, stone masons and blacksmiths.

There were also a number of historical re-enactors on hand in full heritage costumes to ensure the day felt like stepping back in time.

The event is also helping keep some of these lost trades alive, as the people that practice them seek to attract new members to their groups and their craft.

Even though there were still some restrictions on numbers of events and workshops due to COVID, this gives the organisers some room to grow the event in coming years and continue to develop a diverse offering for the Bathurst Regional Tourism economy.

Mission Impossible: Fallout, Saturday 17th April at 8:30pm on Nine Tom Cruise’s iconic role is revived in this 2018 instalment, which is the sixth film in the MI franchise.

Exciting news for fans is that there are another 2 films in the works to be released in 2022 and 2023, after delays due to COVID! Two years after Ethan Hunt (Cruise) had successfully captured Solomon Lane (Sean Harris), the remnants of the Syndicate have reformed into another organisation called the Apostles. Under the leadership of a mysterious fundamentalist known only as John Lark, the organszation is planning on acquiring three plutonium cores. Ethan and his team are sent to Berlin to intercept them, but the mission fails when Ethan saves Luther (Ving Rhames) and the Apostles escape with the plutonium.

With CIA agent August Walker (Superman’s Henry Cavill) joining the team, Ethan and his allies including faithful Benji (funnyman Simon Pegg) and Isla (Rebecca Ferguson) must now find the plutonium cores before it's too late.

Lithgow Valley Film Society 16 Main Street, Lithgow Sun 18th April – 2.00pm Movie - MUDLARK - 1950 The film previous advertised for this Sunday was “Henry VIII” but due to His Royal Highness, Prince Philip’s passing, it is being replaced by “Mudlark”. A documentary of the Queen’s Jubilee Parade in Canberra will also be shown.

Mudlark is a drama of an orphaned and uneducated ten-year-old Wheeler who lives as a mudlark on the banks of the Thames. (Mudlarks are street children who scavenge on the banks of the Thames).

While digging through the mud one day, Wheeler finds a precious cameo of Queen Victoria.

Not knowing who the female figure on the medallion is he nevertheless thinks she has the kindest, motherly face he has ever seen.

However, a friend explains that she is the “mother of all England” and Wheeler is determined to meet her. This leads to quite an adventure for young Wheeler.

Cast: Irene Dunne (Queen Victoria), Alec Guinness (Benjamin Disraeli) and Andrew Ray (Wheeler)

BATHURST COUPLE BUILD BESPOKE LIFESTYLE

Bathurst welder AJ Cook and her carpenter husband Nick have built the lifestyle of their dreams – and they credit TAFE NSW for making it all possible.

TARANA FARMERS’ MARKET

The entrepreneurial pair run four successful businesses including their latest enterprise, Bespoke & Co, a shopfront where they showcase their handcrafted timber and steel furniture.

The pieces can only be described as works of art and each is a labour of love, with the couple combining her welding and his timberwork to create one-off designs made from recycled materials. The pair are passionate about sustainability, salvaging the materials from old cattle yards, shearing sheds and factories.

“We reclaim it, repurpose it and expose its natural beauty,” AJ said.

“We love taking old materials and giving them purpose again. We often leave the steel rusty or just use some simple matt black paint – we love to let the timber and the metal speak for itself.”

Both AJ and Nick undertook TAFE NSW courses to learn their trades and launch careers. AJ completed a Certificate III in Engineering – Fabrication Trade and became a mechanical engineer in the mining industry while Nick completed a Certificate IV in Carpentry and started a successful building business.

When AJ left mining and had their three children (another one is on the way) she was drawn back to her welding roots and began working full-time in the building business. She says the next step was to pool their talents and not long after they launched their custom furniture business, T&B Bespoke Furniture.

“Nick does renovations, extensions and unique builds that are sustainable, often solar passive, and a lot of the customers we worked for couldn’t find the furniture they wanted to suit their homes,” AJ explained.

“I love that we create things that are unique and different. It’s mentally challenging for us – you have to figure out how to manipulate the materials to make a strong and functional product – but there is also scope to be creative because you want to design furniture that looks beautiful in people’s homes.”

In 2019, the couple opened the Bespoke & Co shopfront as a base for their designer furniture and to nurture skills sharing and artistry within their community.

The pair host welding and furniture-making classes as well as providing a workshop space where other local artists and tradies can host classes on everything from bronzing and blacksmithing to weaving, ceramics, knitting and flower arranging.

“We have a lot of people with amazing knowledge and skills in our community and now they have a place to pass them down,” AJ said.

“That’s how I learnt to weld – from people experienced in the trade – and now it’s a part of me and I love it. I had some amazing teachers at TAFE NSW and I love that they had real industry knowledge; they weren’t just book teachers."

AJ said the skills she and Nick learnt at TAFE NSW were the foundation they have built their lives on.

The couple has come full circle and now employ three apprentices in their building business, NJC Building, because they believe so strongly in the TAFE NSW model of learning from industry professionals.

“We love passing on our trades and knowledge because we know that good skills can take you a long way and help you express your purpose,” AJ said.

“My husband left school in Year 10, knowing there must be another way of learning, and we are now both successful business owners. We love TAFE NSW and everything it gave us.

“I have so much gratitude for the people who helped shape me in my trade and in my life – my mentors, the TAFE teachers, and the other apprentices. Their support and my stubbornness got me where I am today."

LIVE MUSIC IN THE POWERHOUSE THE FESTIVAL OF SMALL HALLS ROLLED IN TO PORTLAND ON WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON READY TO PUT ON A GREAT SHOW FOR THE AUDIENCE THAT CAME OUT ON THE NIGHT.

The Powerhouse at The Foundations was the venue of choice for the event, and even though it is not a traditional ‘Small Hall’ the setup on the night was created an intimate space for the event.

The night kicked off with Bathurst local Ron Van Der Zwaag as a local support artist.

Ron’s music was well received and it was a great opportunity for him to perform to a local crowd.

follow us on

This Way North took the stage after Ron with the power duo playing a more laid back set than they would traditionally, enjoying the amazing acoustics in the heritage building.

The night was rounded out with the amazing Bobby All, who treated the crowd to his unique music and chilled out island vibes that are rooted in his Samoan heritage.

facebook.com/thevillagevoicecentralwest

@villagevoicelithgow

The night saw a crowd of just under 80 people bravo the early autumn chills, kept warm by a BBQ put on by POrtland’s Tidy Towns group.

It was a great night for live music in the region and hopefully.

The beginning of much more to come at The Foundations.

HUGH JACKMAN ON THE SCREEN AT PORTLANDS CRYSTAL THEATRE - SATURDAY APRIL 24, 7PM

NSW GOVERNMENT SCHOLARSHIPS TO SUPPORT ASPIRING APPRENTICES The NSW Government is providing $1.5 million to assist aspiring apprentices make their dreams come true through the annual Bert Evans Apprentice Scholarship program.

100 scholarships worth $15,000 each will support apprentices who are experiencing financial or personal hardship and demonstrate a commitment to a career in vocational education and training.

Portland’s own Crystal Theatre goes into Winter Olympics mode with the screening of Eddie the Eagle this Saturday night.

Eddie the Eagle tells the story of Michael Edwards who against the odds wins a spot on the British team for the 1988 Winter Olympics in the sport of Ski Jumping. The movie stars Golden Globe Best Actor Winner Taron Egerton (Rocket Man), Academy Award Nominee Hugh Jackman (Australia) and Game of Thrones alumni Jim Broadbent.

Like Michael Edwards, the movie Eddie the Eagle doesn’t win any awards. But the charming film demonstrates the slippery slope to Olympic qualifying and how persistence can win out in the end.

Portland Film Society members are delighted to continue monthly movies at The Crystal on the 3rd Saturday of each month. A Covid strategy will be in place with a Covid Marshal and social distance seating. Considering the size of The Crystal and using the 4 square metre rule, there will be plenty of seats on the night.

Entry is just $10 each for temporary membership and the show starts at 7pm with a supporting short and the main movie starting around 7.45.

The snack bar will be open and fresh popcorn will be available.

SEE YOU AT THE CRYSTAL THEATRE ON SATURDAY APRIL 24!

HAPPY HOLIDAY PETCARE

CREATURE TALK

Apprenticeships are vital to ensuring NSW has a pipeline of skilled workers in growth areas but we also understand it’s not always easy to complete a qualification.

It’s great that the NSW Government is committed to ensuring training for apprentices remains accessible to all.

CREATURE TALK As a mobile pet carer within Bathurst & surrounding areas I visit pets & animals at their home, whilst their owners are away.

The Bert Evans Apprentice Scholarship program offers a great incentive for eligible locals to kick-start their career.

I would encourage everyone to explore the range of initiatives and programs available to support apprentices, including the Bert Evans Scholarship program and the NSW Government’s fee-free apprenticeships initiative.

The scholarship program is named in honour of the late Bert Evans AO, a passionate advocate of vocational education for more than 30 years.

We are both renegades from the art establishment because we’re unwilling to compromise on presentation and subject matter. The new owners of the Coronation Hotel should be congratulated for supporting local artists.”

Bob’s paintings offer quirky insights into rural life and personal relationships, while Adrian’s work explores the dark landscapes of the mind. A strong thread of irreverence and humour links all the works.

The event will open on Saturday May 1 between 6 and 9pm with some live music.
