NAIDOC DAY - O'BRIEN CENTRE
For everyone to read and join in on the Day, if possible.
NAIDOC week at the O'Brien Centre will commence at 10.00am to 11.00am, September 2nd, 2010 with a Welcome to Country, Flag Raising, Address by Robyn Murray/Len Kanowski, an address from an O'Brien Centre spokesperson, and response from a NAIDOC Committee Member.
11.00am to 2.00pm - General Community gathering with BBQ lunch, including some bush tucker. There will be music playing. This will be an excellent opportunity for people to mix, meet and develop some good partnerships.
Also, on September 25th (Saturday), Lisa Lantry will be at the O'Brien Centre. This is an excellent opportunity for members of the Executive to bond together more fully. Lunch will be provided.
On Friday, October 1st, the Consumer Consultants are hosting a Mystery Day for members of the Executive as a Thank You for the support received over the years. We will leave at 10.30 from the O'Brien Centre and what happens or where we go, is a secret. The anticipation is very exciting, lol.
I have to apologize for not being on here recently. I have taken the month of September to re-energize myself, as I found I was becoming over tired, as am sure many others feel the same. However, to be able to devote my time and energy to the O'Brien Centre, I do have to be in good health.

Water crisis over in Orange NSW
BY BEVAN SHIELDS
13 Aug, 2010 07:41 PM
THIRTEEN billion litres of water have ended a crisis that took years to develop but just a month to reverse.
Suma Park Dam is rising rapidly after years of decline and if more rain falls, Orange City Council expects total storages could hit 100 per cent capacity for the first time in five years.
They’re expected to reach 80 per cent by next week.
Incredibly, all it took to fill the dams was a few heavy downpours on an already saturated catchment.
The difference between the city’s capacity a month ago and what it’s expected to be next week is an extra thirteen billion litres of water.
When the 18,000 megalitre Suma Park Dam and 4500 megalitre Spring Creek Dam both overflow, Orange will have enough water to last around six years.
Residents have whiplash from the city’s dramatic change of fortunes, mayor John Davis said yesterday.
“It’s phenomenal,” he said.
“I’ve had people say gee, we’ve had 10 years of drought and it only took a month to get over it but I think the catchment has slowly been soaking up water for the last few years and then when this last lot of rain happened, we got runoff like someone has turned on a huge tap.
“All we’ve got to do is get another few wet days and we’ll have full dams.
“But looking at the dam today there’s still a long way to go.”
Late yesterday, Suma Park Dam had risen to nearly 60 per cent capacity.
Total storages approached 70 per cent.
When they’re at 100 per cent, Orange City Council will almost certainly introduce level one water restrictions that let residents water their lawns and gardens any day between 6pm and 9pm in summer.
Cars can be washed with a bucket and hose at any time.
It’s a far cry from current restrictions where garden watering is prohibited except for just half an hour on Sundays.
Councillor Glenn Taylor said restrictions must be amended immediately.
“I don’t want a ludicrous situation where in a week or two we will have overflowing dams but the people of Orange still have to go and pay to wash their car or can only water for half an hour,” he said.
“I won’t support any continuation of restrictions, people have earned the right to have them eased right back.
“We pay high rates, high water charges and have been exemplary with abiding by restrictions and I actually don’t think that even when we do bring them back to level one or whatever, we will ever return to the days of irresponsible use of water.”

Frank Hayes
Notice to all who knew Frank, his funeral is on Monday, 2nd August, 2010 at St Mary's Church, at 1.30pm.
Frank was such a busy man, he was a local, knew just about everyone in Orange, it seemed at times.
His involvement with the O'Brien Centre and member of the Executive was heartfelt. He gave freely of his time and helped so many who just needed someone to listen or be a father figure. He was clever, could turn his hand to almost anything.
Frank could be volatile, but always apologized later when he cooled down. He was a husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather.
He will be missed by all who knew and loved him, but never forgotten.
Rest in Peace, Frank.

Mental Health Month October 2010
This year, our focus is on ”Good friends help us bounce back”, promoting the importance of building and maintaining good friendships in the building of our resilience. One of the best ways to deal with a tough time is to draw on the support of other people who can listen and validate our feelings. Tackling problems with others is a resourceful way to lessen our load. Often it takes several friends who can provide different kinds of support to help us bounce back. Friendships that create love and trust, provide role models, and offer encouragement, reassurance and hope are all important in resilience building.
