Mid Mountains Community Gardens Everyone is invited to be part of this exciting community project. It only costs $2 to join and of course, your time and commitment to help. The garden is at Kihilla, a heritage homestead in Queens Rd, Lawson, currently owned by the Church Army. There has been a great deal of work and planning into the design and organisation of scheme. A second water tank is being installed and the first crops are ready. Members get to pick the produce with the excess sold locally. Any funds raised go back into the garden. There are several teams operating already including planning & design, and communications. There is a co ordinator at the garden every Saturday so come along and see for yourself. Contact Greg or Maeve at the MMNC for more details 4759 2592.
Meet Maeve Hi I’m Maeve and I’m the Community Development Worker at Mid Mountains Neighbourhood Centre in Lawson.
I’ve been at Centre for just over three months now.
I’m so happy to be working in the community I live in. Having a job in the Community in the Mountains is a treasure long sought. I love Community Development Work because it allows me to work with the whole community to build a creative, healthy and supportive community. I’m a social creature and I get to spend time networking and getting to know people and what’s important to them. It’s my job to support community members and groups to build and grow a sense of belonging, connection and support for everyone and between everyone. So feel free to drop in to say hello, have a cuppa, chew my ear about an idea you have. I’m generally there Tuesday – Thursday. 4759 2592 maeve@mmnc.org.au 9 New St Lawson.

The Link-Up (NSW) Aboriginal Corporation’s Family Link Service at Hazelbrook keeps Aboriginal children and young people connected with their families, communities and cultures across NSW.

Five years ago last Easter Hazelbrook resident Bill Sweeney bought a dog from the RSPCA shelter in Katoomba, a cross Doberman four months old who quickly became one of the family. They called her Marla. Bill started obedience training her from day one and a few months ago Marla won the highest Obedience Title there is in NSW. Last June Marla achieved Obedience Champion and from there went on to win the Utility Dog Excellence title. Marla is nearly six years old. Bill is very generous with his time and instructs at Blue Mountains Dog Club, Springwood District Dog Training Club and Leura Club on a voluntary basis. If you are thinking of buying a pet, young or old, consider having a look at an animal shelter. You are not only giving an animal the chance at a new life in a loving home, you’re supporting the continuing efforts of the RSPCA to care for all animals throughout Australia. Contact information for the RSPCA shelter in Katoomba is 121125 Mort Street, Katoomba North phone 4782 2674 or www.rspcansw. org.au.

Lawson Highway Upgrade The first stage of the Lawson highway upgrade was officially opened on 13 November and demolition of vacant roadside shops has begun. Stage one of the $220 million project involved widening the existing highway from two to four lanes between Bass Street and Ridge Street with a raised central median and bicycle facilities, widening the railway overpass bridge at San Jose Avenue to four lanes and in-
stalling new traffic lights. Member for Blue Mountains Phil Koperberg said the work would improve safety and reduce travel times for motorists. “The Lawson project is one of the most challenging parts of the Great Western Highway upgrade and it gives me great pleasure to officially open this section to four lanes,” Mr Koperberg said. “The redevelopment of seven shops is scheduled for completion late 2010, when existing businesses plan to relocate,” according to the RTA. Construction of a new service road and car park is set to begin in early 2011. The second stage of the Lawson upgrade began in May and involves widening the highway to four lanes between Ferguson Avenue, Hazelbrook and Bass Street, Lawson. It will see the realignment of 600 metres of the main western railway line to the north of Sydney Rock while a new road bridge will be built across the railway line. An RTA spokesman said the project was running on time and is expected to be completed in 2012.
Why Choose Family Day Care? Celebrating Childhood Development during childhood is a Journey – not a race. Blue Mountains Family Day Care supports this philosophy by providing care and education in an unhurried, relaxed, relationship focused environment. Care professionals provide safe early learning and developmental opportunities within their home based day care that support children in their mastery of social skills allowing them the maximum opportunity to learn in their own unique way and at their own pace. Small group numbers and a consistent carer allow children and families to form a close bond with their carer and the flexible delivery of Family Day Care gives families care that fits around their individual needs. Family Day Care carers in the mountains are each unique and provide many different types of care such as Preschool, Long day care, before and after school care, casual care vacation care, weekend or overnight care as well as emergency and respite care.

OVER 55 & WORKING INCREASE YOUR SUPER BALANCE FOR RETIREMENT To significantly increase your final superannuation total for retirement, there are several risk free strategies for workers who are over 55 years of age. These strategies are government approved and are tax effective. A person aged 55 # with a current superannuation balance of $60,000 will retire with approximately $152,500. Implementing one of these strategies the same person could have a balance of $188,500 for retirement. That’s quite a significant increase that is worth investigating. Would you like a greater retirement income from your superannuation fund? The higher your current income and the greater your current super balance, the better these strategies work in increasing your final balance. The benefits of these strategies are even greater for people aged over 6o. If you are thinking about your superannuation and how it will get you through retirement Mondy Walpole Financial Services may be able to assist. We can also help with Personal Insurance, Business Insurance, Retirement Planning and Investments. Call Adam today on 0431 517 455 to make an appointment.

This amazing mural of Terrace Falls has been painted under the railway arch in Hazelbrook by local artist Michael Lynn. The president of the Residents’ Association, Angela Lougheed, would like to thank the team behind its development, especially committee member Greg Birtles and Railcorp who have funded the mural. Greg is hoping that the other side of the tunnel can also be painted with community involvement from young people. Funds need to be found so anyone with ideas can contact the association.
Graffiti Hotline • The Hazelbrook Association has partnered with the Mid Mountains Neighbourhood Centre to establish a graffiti hotline to enable residents and business in the area to report graffiti • The MMNC volunteers associated with the hotline will record details of all graffiti. • All reported new graffiti will be photographed and reported regularly to the Police to be stored
Please report all graffiti in Woodford, Hazelbrook, Lawson and Bullaburra to Mid Mountains Graffiti Hotline
4759 2592
on their database for possible charging of offenders in the future. • Volunteers will remove all new graffiti as soon as possible. • The appropriate authority will be contacted where a substantial amount of graffiti is located on their property or asset.

“Community Reading” is a partnership between Hazelbrook Public School & Mid Mountains Neighbourhood Centre. At the beginning of the year there is training where volunteers learn how the program works and what the expectations are. It’s also an opportunity to ask questions and to meet other volunteers and hear their hints from previous years. For a short input of time [about 45mins a week] there is a great sense of direct benefit to the child, giving a great sense of satisfaction to the helper. If you would like to join this band of happy helpers in 2011 contact Maeve at the Neighbourhood Centre 4759 2592.
