A Mid Mountains Celebration The Lawson Festival is all about celebrating the great community that is the Mid Mountains. Back in 2005, some of Lawson’s most devoted residents came up with the idea of a festival that would celebrate everything that was loved about Lawson. A festival as a symbol of cohesiveness and acknowledgement, and that although opinions differ on the best outcome for the village, the residents are united in their love of the town. The first Lawson Festival was held in November 2006 and is now well known by many local residents. More recently the Festival has now broadened its focus to cover all Mid Mtns towns with its key theme being “Made in the Mid Mountains”. The Mid Mountains Neighbourhood Centre pulls together the festival each year with the help of a generous and energetic group of volunteers, community organisations and sponsors. See www.lawsonfestival.org for updates.
Billy-cart capers

The design for the toilets incorporates rainwater harvesting using underground water tanks, energy efficiency using solar PV cells and a “raingarden” which will be watered using the hand basin run off. Although this feature is great idea it may have to be redesigned due to public health concerns.

New look for Hazelbrook supermarket FoodWorks in Hazelbrook is a greatly improved supermarket since Piara Kamal and Sam Alikozay have taken over. Sam was managing a north shore supermarket and Piara comes from a restaurant background and together they have fully renovated the premises and the service. There is new flooring, counters and fridges and the opening hours have been extended. Piara and Sam say “we want to give the community a better shop and improved service with more variety of products at the lowest price. We have quality meat, fruit and vegetables and a wider variety of dairy products as well as more international fare” Sam and Piara are both very friendly and customers are happy with their new service.
suing the idea with Railcorp and the RTA. A special thank you to Greg Birtles and the association for getting the project organised. Blue Mountains mural artist Michael Lynn is undertaking the project. He is an internationally acclaimed mural artist having completed over 100 murals including murals at Katoomba. The mural will depict the local Terrace Falls as seen in the early 1900s with an onlooker in costume of that time.

Jenny Mosher from Mosher’s Business Support in Hazelbrook won the best new business award in the Blue Mountains Business Awards. Jenny says “It was a HUGE thrill to win the Award. Knowing that outsiders have reviewed our document and feel that we’re on the right track to a sustainable business is very reassuring. We opened in Hazelbrook because we felt there was a gap in services between Katoomba and Springwood. We can’t replace the larger printers, but can provide a useful colour printing function for locals at affordable costs for small quantities. Our main focus is on publishing now – books, ebooks (in PDF and ePub formats), magazines and websites. Moshpit Publishing has produced the Narrator magazine because there are plenty of art shows where artists get to hang their art for public consumption, but for writers it’s really hard to get small, creative works out there. It’s good to be able to help the local businesses and organisations. We do what we can for Springwood Art Show, Celebrating Design, Brook Theatre, Jamm for Genes Blue Moun tains and other organisations that we either advertise through or provide services to.” Jenny’s daughter Ally is doing a Cert 3 in Business Admin with her during her gap year.

What Would Happen to Your Family if You Had Died Yesterday? What would be the financial outcome for your partner? Your children? What if you were injured or sick? How long could you live with no income? Most people think about these things but do little about it. Figures show that only four in ten families with dependent children have enough insurance cover to last longer than one year1 and only 31% of people have Income Protection Insurance2. Of these, many would be covered for only two years. You can reduce potential financial hardship for yourself and your family by obtaining Personal Risk Insurance. Insurance can cover your life, your partner’s life, sickness or injury (Income Protection), disability and even certain medical conditions (Trauma Insurance). One of the main purposes of insurance is to provide a level of income to the insured or their family to allow them to continue their lifestyle without additional financial suffering. Many people will also choose a level of cover to allow them to clear their debts. A Financial Planner can help you select the level of insurance cover that best suits your personal or business needs. At Mondy Walpole Financial Services we can assist with Business Insurance, Self Managed Superannuation and Superannuation, Retirement Planning and Investments. 1 2
The Linden Award The Linden Award is only available to non-residents of Linden who have made a significant contribution to the well-being of the Linden community. The theme of this award is Ken Beames' Linden Observatory which represents the qualities of far sightedness, forward thinking, reaching for the stars, hard work, engineering brilliance, and most importantly of all, community. All qualities which we aspire for our community and which we seek to recognise by awarding the Linden Award. This first Award was recently made to Peter Bradshaw for his outstanding service to our community in his role as Captain of the Linden Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade. Being a member of a RFS Fire Brigade is a purely voluntary act, as is being an elected office bearer. However, to become Captain requires several years of training, practical and theoretical knowledge, commitment and experience. Peter has demonstrated these values throughout his time in the Brigade. He has, among other things • attended almost every training session • was present at all Hazard Reductions and Section 44 fires • given up a Christmas Day to

On many of these occasions Peter has been ably assisted by his sons Adam, Christopher and Matthew and their contributions are also recognised in this citation. Together, they have often been the ‘glue’ that has held the Brigade together and ensured that it was able to respond to various incidents. We also acknowledge the commitment of other family members resulting from the many absences from the family home whilst engaged in fire brigade activity. Because of their commitment to our community the Linden Citizens Association wishes to formally acknowledge their contribution with this Award.

News from Bullaburra Bullaburra Township Committee is still working towards having an overhead pedestrian bridge for access across the highway to the railway station and access to North Bullaburra. One meeting has been held with BMCC and, as always, we remain hopeful. In discussions with the RTA we have received advice that the RTA is re- examining the location of deten-
tion ponds for the Bullaburra GWH upgrade. They are considering having only one detention basin for this section of the Highway, possibly located on the south side of Bullaburra. This would remove the necessity of having three detention basins, one on the north side and two on the south side as originally planned. Negotiations are currently taking place between a private landowner and the RTA. This project is still in the planning and consultation phase and we await the
Cycleway Starts Clean Technology Park
Current and future workers at the Lawson Industrial Estate will be able to leave their car at home and ride to work on a new cycleway commissioned by Blue Mountains City Council. Mayor, Clr Daniel Myles, explained that work on the new cycleway is due to commence as early as next month, “The new cycle way will start in Honour Ave which will link Lawson Industrial Estate with the train station, providing easier access for workers commuting to the area.” In May this year, Blue Mountains City Council was granted $3.5M funding from the Federal Government to develop the Lawson Industrial Estate into a Clean Technology Park. The aim is to create new economic opportunities for the Blue Mountains. It is anticipated that the Clean Technology Park project will create 350 new jobs for the region. In addition to the cycleway, the project will involve upgrading the infrastructure for the Estate including stormwater, sewerage, kerb and guttering, footpaths, landscaping and signage. It is expected that the cycleway will be completed by the end of the year. A number of studies and reports to guide the urban design of the Estate are currently being prepared.

Meet the author with question & answer session Hazelbrook Bowling Club, 7pm Monday November 15 Local author Roger French, Director of the Natural Health Society of Australia. has has updated his ‘Complete guide to Natural Health’. The book now has an index for easy reference and spells out a prescription for enjoying life free of pain and crippling, with tons of vitality and extended youthfulness, along with relative freedom from the fear of cancer, heart disease, stroke and other life-threatening conditions After almost dying of a heart attack at 34, Australian stockbroker, Eric Storm, mended his lifestyle ways to enjoy another 70 years free of illness, with the year 2000 being the final turning point of a legendary life across three centuries. Like most Australians, you may 6
believe that illness is a normal part of life, and that after about 50 years of age, we are inevitably over the hill. Not so! Eric and thousands of other Australians, along with numerous primitive populations, have demonstrated that we can be well for life if we choose. A vast amount of research over the last century has explained why many earlier populations hardly knew illness … until they adopted the Western way of living. Illness and premature ageing are ‘diseases of civilisation’, that is, diseases of lifestyle. This means that most of us have virtually full control over whether quality of life

This led him to abandon civil engineering and take up a career in Natural Health, which has included seven years as manager of the Hopewood Health Retreat at Wallacia, NSW, and the past 27 years as Executive Director and Health Director of the Natural Health Society of Australia.
