   Sydney Watergate- The Anatomy of a Crisis

   #Sydneywatergate- The Anatomy of a Crisis The Lane Cove Council area, North Ryde and other lower north shore suburbs was impacted by a major Sydney Water (https://www.sydneywater.com.au/) outage that left some locals unable to shower or flush their toilets for up to four days. The issue started on Saturday 10 September 2022 and was resolved on 14 September 2022, The Sydney Water (https://www.sydneywater.com.au/) crews worked around the clock, and once they realised they could not quickly fix the burst water pipe, they had to take steps to reroute the water to other pipes to restore water to impacted locals. The main problem is that Sydney Water (https://www.sydneywater.com.au/) did not communicate this to the public. The problem first started at around 6.45 am on Saturday, 10 September 2022. A water main burst so loudly it sounded like an explosion, and water started gushing onto Epping Road. Traffic on Epping Road was a nightmare, and some Lane Cove locals told ITC that they were stuck in traffic for over 2 hours on Saturday. The traffic congestion only got worse on Monday morning when everyone was returning to work, and as the bus lane was flooded, Sydney buses were also impacted. Sydney Water’s Managing Director, Roch Cheroux, said the replacement of the damaged pipe was complex, and crews worked around the clock to return normal water supply as soon as possible. “This was not an ordinary water main break. Crews have told me it’s one of the largest blow-outs they’ve ever seen and that the impact of the break was so powerful, it created a 12 metre long, seven-metre deep and 10-metre wide excavation site.” “This was a complex and unfolding situation. The size and scale of this event and the full extent of how widespread the incident was on our customers changed rapidly over the course of the weekend,” Mr Cheroux said. Jacky Barker from In the Cove will be speaking to a cross section of people from local business, residents, and locals involved in the political process (at both state and local level). How were they impacted and what did we learn?

   Helping in Lismore

   Welcome to the In The Cove Podcast. This month we tell you about local events on the horizon and speak to local Kolya Miller who is in the Army Reserves and was recently deployed to Lismore to help after the recent floods. Federal Election If you have been to the Lane Cove Plaza lately, you will have no doubt seen candidates for the May 21 2022 Election speaking to locals. Federal Election – 4th December 2021 – Meet the North Sydney Candidates Forum In the Cove is holding a North Sydney Candidate Information Night on Zoom – Monday 9th May at 7.30 pm.

Lane Cove Fun Run The Lane Cove Fun Run is Back! Flash SALE on now! (https://inthecove.com.au/2022/04/29/the-lane-cove-fun-run-is-back-flash-sale-on-now/) The Lane Cove Fun Run is an amazing community event and raises money for the local community and 10% of net proceeds go to Sydney Community Services (https://www.sydneycs.org/). The inaugural event was held in 2016 and it was such a success it became an annual event. In fact, the event was so successful journalist and noted author Peter FitzSimmons wrote an article about the Lane Cove Fun Run (https://www.lanecovefunrun.com.au/) in the Sydney Morning Herald. Peter wants other suburbs to get out there and do the same. (http://www.smh.com.au/sport/the-fitz-files/what-does-our-country-need-more-fun-runs-20160907-grb1a6.html) Covid restrictions sadly meant the 2020 & 2021 were cancelled. 2022 is going to be a huge year… let's make up for lost time! The Lane Cove Fun Run is 100% organised by volunteers and its sponsors are all local businesses who believe in the importance of giving back to their local community. Lane Cove Rotary Fair Lane Cove Rotary Fair is on! Rotary Lane Cove is pleased to announce that we are working with Lane Cove Council for the 2022 Lane Cover Rotary Fair. Stall registrations will open 1 August 2022.

Date: Sunday 9 October 2022 Meet Kolya Miller We speak to Kolya Miller who is a member of the army reserve and find out about his recent deployment to Lismore. Kolya has been active in the Lane Cove Community for years and at one stage was the president of the Lane Cove Public School P & C. We ask Kolya about the army reserve, his work in Lismore and how others can get involved in the army reserve. It's fascinating to learn how an expert in cyber security took time off work to help NSW residents impacted by the flood. Hosted on Acast.

   Tofugate and Events are back!!

   Welcome to the In The Cove Podcast – it has been a while but we are back, back, back. ITC has been very busy keeping our loyal readers up to date on all things COVID-19, Events, and Lane Cove Council news. It has been a very active period for Lane Cove Council with three meetings in the first two months of the year. At the March 2022 meeting, TOFUgate popped up. What is TOFUgate? Greens Councillor Rochelle Flood asked Lane Cove Council to consider options to reduce meat consumption and promote plant-based alternatives at Council functions and events, as well as in Council managed facilities, to improve environmental, as well as human health and animal welfare outcomes. Just as a side note ITC was at a Lane Cove Council workshop only a few weeks ago and one of the participants remarked that there were no vegetarian options provided. Councillor Flood made it clear that the notice of motion was to ensure that there were options for vegetarians and vegans at council events and it was not an attempt to remove meat from the menu. Councillor Flood stated numerous times it is about having options. The motion had an extended discussion after Councillor Bennison asked three questions and moved the following amendment: “An amendment was moved by Councillors Bennison and Brooks-Horn that Council undertake consultation with the community to determine if they would like plant-based proteins included in catering for all Council events and venues.” During his speech in support of the amendment, he referred to UK literature about Tofu being no good for developing brains and making them smaller. ITC has done an extensive literature search and cannot find anything to back this up. ITC has written to Councillor Bennison and asked him to provide a link to the research he cited – we have not received a reply. He also stated he was not keen on “farting cows causing climate change”. Councillor Bennison’s amendment motion was lost. The original motion was carried with a unanimous vote. After we published our article on TOFUgate, we were contacted by Andrew May (who grew up in Lane Cove and is part of the famous May family). He is now working with V2 food. In our podcast we speak to Andrew about what is plant-based protein, and it is not just TOFU. Andrew May is the chief Taste-a-tarian & Chief Growth Officer at v2food We are on the run down to the Easter vacations and ITC will have all your Easter news and information on what’s happening around Lane Cove (and most importantly where can you get that coffee fix on Good Friday and Easter Sunday). Help Lane Cove raise some money for those who have been impacted by the floods. Christine Anu and Miriam Lieberman Trio Friday 29 April, 6:15 pm - 9:00 pm This is a $10 ticketed event with the proceeds being donated to GIVIT to support people impacted by the recent storms and floods across New South Wales 6:15 pm – 7:15 pm Miriam Lieberman Trio 7:45 pm – 9:00 pm Christine Anu Christine Anu (https://www.facebook.com/OfficialChristineAnu)is one of Australia's most popular artists of all time who uses her voice and reputation to spread a message of unity and hope.

   ITC - Still in Lockdown

   Welcome to our podcast. Today we will be discussing how to find out about COVID19 Local information. We also talk to In the Cove's running expert Andy Smith from North Shore Outdoor Running and Fitness. He has some brilliant tips on how to exercise in our own LGA. Locally Acquired Cases You can find out about locally acquired COVID19 cases by visiting this site published by NSW Health. The Lane Cove LGA, includes all suburbs with a 2066 postcode and Greenwich. These stats do not include that part of Lane Cove North located in Willoughby City Council (for those who live on the Mowbray school side of Mowbray Road). This data is all COVID19 cases recorded for people living in the Lane Cove LGA of locally acquired cases in the last four weeks. The tables show the location of residence by Local Government Area (LGA) or local health district (LHD) of locally acquired COVID-19 cases in the last four weeks. It is based on the date the person first developed symptoms. When no date of symptom onset is available (it is either under investigation by public health staff or the person tested positive without showing symptoms), the date of the positive test is used. Infections are not always acquired in the place of residence as people often travel outside their area for many reasons (e.g. work, school and shopping). Cases without a NSW residential address and people who were exposed interstate or overseas are not shown. Case counts may vary over time due to ongoing investigations and case reviews. Source: https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/stats-local.aspx (https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/covid-19/Pages/stats-local.aspx) Active Cases You can find the active cases here. (https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/find-the-facts-about-covid-19?fbclid=IwAR0AsdMvD7VPXuQhhqXZOAH6cp3eHQJwTnh_gQEXWfFqXGpHAl6G8TFVB8w) Vaccination Stats There are appointments available at local pharmacies for the AZ vaccine. Burns Bay Medical Practices, Lane Cove Doctors, and Lane Cove Family Medical Practice are also now offering Pfizer. Get jabbed soon. Lane Cove LGA has the 7th highest vaccination rate (Ku ring gai Council is number one). NSW Health has now published Vaccination rates by LGA. A Link to the stats here.

(https://covid-vaccine.healthdirect.gov.au/eligibility?lang=en) There are also various other tools available such as Covid Queue (https://covidqueue.com/) and Covid-19 Near me (https://covid19nearme.com.au/state/nsw/vaccination) – which show you vaccinations and testing locations and availability. Mask Up Just a reminder to mask up and scan in. We have been advised that one apartment block in Lane Cove has two positive COVID19 CASES in their block. Their body corporate has sent emails to all the residents and is keeping them up to date on what is happening. All common areas have been deep cleaned. 50% of Lane Cove lives in apartments, and it is so important that when you are in common areas, you wear your mask and comply with lift restrictions. Also, get vaccinated. Lane Cove has a great vaccination rate, but it can be improved. If you have a relative over 60 who has not been vaccinated, please ask them to speak to their doctor about getting vaccinated and let them know there are many places where they can be vaccinated locally. Local vaccination info here: (https://inthecove.com.au/2021/08/12/covid19-vaccination-informaton-lane-cove-gps-have-appointments/?f) Local Testing info here: (https://inthecove.com.au/2020/11/11/lane-cove-covid19-testing-facilities-information/?f) How to Wear a Mask Properly here: (https://inthecove.com.au/2021/07/12/how-to-wear-a-mask-properly-and-where-to-get-masks-in-lane-cove/?)

Fill out the Survey Here. (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/lanecovesurveynewsletter) Help During COVID19 Lockdown During the last lockdown, ITC told our readers to let us know if they need any help during lockdown. We had very few people contact us about issues. However, we have been contacted by locals who have been impacted financially by the lockdown during this lockdown, and both income earners have lost their jobs. We have referred them to Sydney Community Services who run a food bank. Sydney Community Services (https://www.sydneycs.org/) would like Lane Cove residents to know the following: "Supporting our Community The current lockdown is taking its toll on everyone. All families and individuals feel the effects in some shape or another, and the financial burden is also hitting those who can normally rely on a steady and sustaining income.

Our staff is here not only to provide tangible support such as wellness packs, and energy & water vouchers, but to also help you connect with further supports available. All requests for help are treated with sensitivity and confidentiality. You can reach us by calling 9427 6425. Please reach out to SCS if you need help." If you need help, please reach out to Sydney Community Services. If you need other help, let us know, we have so many people who are offering help that we can assist you in some way. It does not have to be financial; it could be an issue that you just need a kind voice on the end of the phone.

   In The Cove- Special Edition

   This month our podcast focuses on the decision by Facebook to ban news content in Australia. This has impacted all news organisations in Australia, including In the Cove. In the Cove may have started on Facebook but we are now a multi-platform organisation and you don’t need to access Facebook to read local news. The best place to start is our website www.inthecove.com.au (http://www.inthecove.com.au). Our website has numerous articles that provide interesting and informative local information and you can search for information by using the search function on our website. We are often told by readers that they no longer see In the Cove articles in their Facebook feed. That is because Facebook decides what stories it places into your newsfeed based on what you’ve interacted with in the past and what’s popular with other users. This is the ‘algorithm’ you hear about that determines what goes ‘viral’ on Facebook. This is why ITC encourages all readers to sign up to receive our news emails (https://inthecove.com.au/sign-up-for-newsletter/)or visit www.inthecove.com.au (http://www.inthecove.com.au) regularly to check out our articles – you never know what you’re missing out on! The Media Bargaining Code will not help independent publishers like In the Cove. We are solely funded by local businesses. We do not receive any government funding, grants or assistance. In the Cove is a hyperlocal website run by a Lane Cove local for Lane Cove residents. Thank you for your support. Hosted on Acast.

    Melbourne Cup Special Edition

    Welcome to our second edition of In the Cove Podcast – this is a special in-depth edition where we speak to four Lane Cove locals involved in three big November events. Melbourne Cup Max (http://www.pickthecupwinner.com.au/) Max Hitchins is Melbourne Cup Max (https://www.pickthecupwinner.com.au/) . He is one of Australia’s leading experts on the race Max knows that many Australians just want to be able to say “I backed the winner of the Melbourne Cup.” Hence, In 1987 he decided to find a better and less costly format to be able to do this. Max decided to see if he could whittle the likely chances down to just six horses instead of 24. He then advises “Have a small each way bet on these six horses and you should be able to say you backed the winner of the Melbourne Cup.” Max’s system has worked 26 out of the last 32 years. Not perfect…but not bad! Max now writes two Melbourne Cup eBooks that you can buy and download immediately. How To Pick The Winner Of The 2020 Melbourne Cup $10.95 Trifecta Thoughts for the 2020 Melbourne Cup $6.85 Order via https://pickthecupwinner.myshopify.com/ (https://pickthecupwinner.myshopify.com/) Simon Kennedy (https://www.simonkennedy.com/) Simon Kennedy is a Lane Cove Local and a very funny man.

He is going to be very busy on Melbourne Cup day 3rd November 2020 as he is also one of Australia’s best Donald Trump Impersonators. The first Tuesday in November is also the US Election Date – will he have to pivot and become the best Joe Biden impersonator? – Simon would be very happy to take this role on. Simon has also written the book 9/11 AND THE ART OF HAPPINESS (https://www.simonkennedy.com/). This book has gained world wide accolades. Simon writes about resilience, success, happiness, and the art of letting go of bitterness and hatred.
