From the Editor WITH BOB HOLLAND
Hi friends Thanks to our friends at the Orange Historical Society, this week sees the return of our popular Time Warp segment. We’re very grateful to them for their willingness to do this and you can check out the first instalment on page 35. Also this week, Orange City Life welcomed Jamie Stedman to our team full time. Until now Jamie has contributed to our paper through his Stedo’s Sports Central pages which have built up quite a strong following. He’ll continue that of course, but will also take up the role of managing our editorial department. It’ll be a big challenge for Jamie but one that I personally think he’ll handle very well. Looney Lotto winner last week was Joyce Walsh. The good news for Joyce is that because there was no winner the week before she picked up $200 after the prize jackpotted. This week’s numbers are on page 22 so give it a go. I’m also very pleased to report that the team at 2GZ and Star FM will be adding their weight to the push to get the final $200,000 needed to complete Stage One of Ronald McDonald House in Orange. If we all pull together, I’m certain we can knock this amount over before Christmas. Whether one or one thousand dollars, please give what you can and feel free to use the form on page 42 of this issue, if that makes it easier for you. Thanks!
Until next week, happy reading! bob@oclife.com.au

Workshop to Help Close the Cancer Gap Cancer is a terrible disease that affects too many. Statistics show that some Cancers can be beaten by a pro-active approach. Now the community is working together to do so. ASHLEA PRITCHARD Whilst some Cancers aren’t treatable; the leading male disease is Prostate Cancer, and actually has one of the highest survival rates. When it comes to Aboriginal Australians, gloomy statistics are absolutely eye opening. Cancer is the second most common cause of death for Aboriginal
people, and they are 60% more likely to die from Cancer than non-Aboriginal Australians. According to the Cancer Council, Prostate Cancer is the most common Cancer suffered by Aboriginal men, accounting for around 30% of Cancers diagnosed in all Australian men each year. Yet Prostate Cancer is treatable and has a 92% survival rate. Not only the statistics, but the
overall community impact of Prostate Cancer, has rallied the leading local medical facilities to help “close the gap” with an inaugural Aboriginal health workshop. the Central West Aboriginal Cancer Network has been established to improve the Cancer outcomes for Aboriginal people and is a collaboration of staff from Western NsW local health District, orange Aboriginal medical
service, Wester NsW medicare local, Western NsW Cancer Council and also Aboriginal community representatives. A free awareness event is being held tomorrow (Friday, september 26th), with the hope of raising awareness and reducing the stigma of Prostate Cancer. “the event called ‘marang Garrah Giili’ will focus on providing education about Prostate Cancer and healthy living to Aboriginal men”, said Aboriginal health education officer, Alby Ryan. “it’s about men getting to know the unknown… getting together to talk about the unspoken,” mr. Ryan said. “it’s not focused on men getting screens as much as it is on men getting general health checks … it’s a holistic approach.” ‘marang Garrah Giili’ will be held at the murundhu Dharaa Centre in Palmer street between 9:30am and 2:30pm.

One of the good things that newspaper editors do is provide space for readers to make comments and give feedback by writing Letters to the Editor. Online news sites also facilitate feedback or comments from readers in a similar way. Problem is, many of the people who provide feedback and comments in this way do it behind a pseudonym, a name that hides their identity. I reckon that’s a cowardly way of doing things. If you have something worthwhile to say, my belief is you should be prepared to put your name to it. If not, don’t say anything. If newspapers made it a policy to only publish letters or comments where the person’s name was provided, we’d avoid a lot of the loosely said gutter rubbish that appears on so many news sites these days. Many of the comments that appear are clearly intended to be offensive or insulting but wouldn’t be if people had to put their real name to it. Another thing to be aware of is there are often a number of people who are regular contributors to letter or comment pages and in many cases may well be people who have nothing better to do with their time. It’s sad really because much of what is said would be valued far more if people knew who was saying it and perhaps knew the person well enough to respect that they were

qualified to comment in the first place. We’ll never change this but I have to say that in my view, this is a practice that I find very unhelpful. Quality letters and comments are a wonderful thing but while news sites mix quality with rubbish, it weakens the whole thing. Talking about rubbish, cop this load of drivel from someone called “Worried” that appeared on a local news site following a story about the new North Orange McDonalds. I have OHS concerns for the staff there. It’s about traffic noise. Even when there’s no customers in the building this would have to be the NOISIEST McDonalds in Australia. The problem comes from trucks stopping at and accelerating away from the traffic lights next to the building. The noise from their air brakes is incredible! It’s like an airport and so noisy you can’t carry on a conversation without shouting. They say exposure to traffic noise like this can cause hearing loss, anxiety, and other psychological problems and I’m worried for the staff. I sure hope McDonalds does something about the problem. Putting the building only 5 or 6 metres away from a major bypass highway at a set of traffic lights and without any noise protection barriers at the site perimeter was just an awful planning decision by McDonalds! What’s even more interesting is that this comment appeared online only a few hours after the store had opened for the first time. I rest my case.

John wins Betta! CHRIS BENNETTS John West wasn’t caught hanging around when he was announced as the winner of our Winter Warmer Promotion! John won a $1,000 to spend at Weiley’s Betta Home Living by simply purchasing an OC Life Colour City car window hanger and displaying it on his car. John was over the moon when he found out the good news. “Thanks to Betta and OC Life for this great prize, it was the easiest thing I’ve ever done! I’m not sure what I’ll spend it on yet, perhaps a new washing machine.” Drew Weiley from Betta Home Living congratulated John on a great win. “This comp was a lot of fun to be a part of, Betta is always happy to get involved in great initiatives like this especially when it promotes our great city!” Keep your eyes peeled for more great competitions coming up in Orange City Life, and you too could be a big winner!

‘Duffles’ to Be a Regular in Glenroi The launch of a new community bus heralds the beginning of a Glenroi Community Centre. ASHLEA PRTITCHARD Glenroi residents, and those in touch with the Marang Gunya Centre services, are set to benefit from a colourful community bus - ‘duffles’ the platypus van - and more. ‘duffles’ is a 15-seater van that will act as an ‘on request’ transpor-

area. “the transport is available on an on call basis,” she said. “this is a gentle introduction to transport … we’re trying to make the community aware that transport is available.” Aboriginal elder Jenny Murray said the van is set to benefit the sociality of Aboriginal families, and further firm ties with other Aborigi-

First McCustomers! CHRIS BENNETTS As we are all probably aware, a new McDonalds Restaurant has opened in North Orange! Not only will this new restaurant be serving countless customers over the coming years, it has created many jobs for the people of Orange, immediately and into the future. Owner of the new McDonalds, Mr. Todd Bryant, sent through these pics of the very first customers!
The first customer, Mr. Greg Miller, was served at 4pm on the 16th September 2014 in restaurant’s drive thru. Mr. Miller was heading home to Molong after a hard day’s work for Greg Jaques Surveyors.
The first McCafe’ customer was Paul Robbins, a North Orange resident, who will be going to Maccas and he will see him daily at 5am before heading off to work with his morning coffee that he normally gets from McDonalds Orange on Bathurst road.
CHRIS BENNETTS Today (Thursday the 25th) is World Pharmacist Day, and it’s an opportunity to get all your health related questions answered. Discount Drug Stores in the North Orange Shopping Centre, in conjunction with Charles Sturt University and the NSW PSA, will be holding information sessions throughout the day in an effort to highlight the importance of pharmacists in the community. Pharmacist, Tim Denham is inviting everyone along to the sessions to be held in the central foyer of the North Orange Shopping Centre. “Access to a Pharmacist is access to health, so we are encouraging everyone to come along and clear up any health questions they may have,” Tim said.
“The information sessions are free and cover a range of topics in a fun and informative manner.” CSU pharmacy students will also be on hand to offer information and advice. “We’ll be putting on demonstrations, and interacting with the public,” said student Ellie Butina. “All the students are very approachable and are eager to put our studies into practice. It’s also a great opportunity for people considering a career in pharmacy to come and talk to the students about steps they can take to begin their studies.” The day starts at 2pm with a Q&A session, followed by a variety of topics including body image facts, compounding demos, superfood info and device demonstrations through til 5.30pm. “The day is about getting out in the community and offering great advice and help,” Tim said.

One day at a busy airport, the passengers on a commercial airliner are seated, waiting for the cockpit crew to show up so they can get under way. The pilot and co-pilot finally appear in the rear of the plane, and begin walking up to the cockpit through the center aisle. Both appear to be blind. The pilot is using a white cane, bumping into passengers right and left as he stumbles down the aisle, and the co-pilot is using a guide dog. Both have their eyes covered with huge sunglasses. At first the passengers do not react; thinking that it must be some sort of practical joke. However, after a few minutes the engines start spooling up and the airplane, starts moving down the runway. The passengers look at each other with some uneasiness, whispering among themselves and looking desperately to the flight attendants for reassurance. Then the airplane starts accelerating rapidly and people begin panicking. Some passengers are praying, and as the plane gets closer and closer to the end of the runway, the voices are becoming more and more hysterical. Finally, when the airplane has less than 20 feet of runway left, there is a sudden change in the pitch of the shouts as everyone screams at once, and at the very last moment the airplane lifts off and is airborne. Up in the cockpit, the co-pilot breathes a sigh of relief and turns to the Captain: “You know, one of these days the passengers aren’t going to scream, and we are gonna get killed!”

Training wheels for Council during Bike Week Student Program ASHLEA PRITCHARD Cycling towards better things, students from Bowen Public and The Christian School enthusiastically took part in Bike Week in an exercise about increasing bicycle awareness and safety. Bike Week is an annual Orange City Council initiative that aims to further educate residents about not only the health benefits of cycling, but also how it can benefit the wider community.
For the first time school students took part; with Bowen Public and Christian School students learning about the importance of safety as well as bike manual handling, with NSW Police Senior Constables, Leon Lincoln and Chris Tomlinson. Road Safety Officer for Orange and Cabonne Councils, Andrea Hamilton-Vaughan said the lessons children learn will be life lessons about cycling. “We’re hoping to engage children at this age to see that

cycling is more; that it is something fun ... and that it’s also fitness,” Ms Hamilton-Vaughan said. “Children are picking up on safety and are now more alert to cycling safety skills.” Senior Constable Lincoln said students were very receptive. “They’ve all been keen and listening in all day,” he said. Bike Week involves ‘Ride to Work Week’ annually, with next year’s school events to be even bigger.

Orange CWA branch celebrate being more than ‘tea and scones’ ASHLEA PRITCHARD The Orange branch of CWA will be celebrating a pride in their past when they mark the local branch’s 90th anniversary this weekend. The event will be held in the CWA Hall in Robertson Park, and will be the first time many former members will see renovations and safety upgrades to the hall. “The CWA has always been about much more than tea and scones,” said branch President, Elizabeth Lynch. “Hiring our hall to a wide variety of individuals and organisations in Orange is our way of reaching out into the community, and our aim is to make the hall a modestly priced venue of choice for events and functions. Revenue from the hall has enabled us to support many causes locally and internationally, and we want that to continue and grow.” Ms Lynch said the 90th celebrations will focus on the past and present efforts that have helped CWA progress and be sincerely successful in aiding community progress. “Of course we owe a great debt to former members who left the branch is such good financial order and we will be honouring their work on the day,” she said. Women interested in joining the CWA Orange branch – or those interested in hiring the hall – call contact Elizabeth Lynch on 6393 7734, or attend a branch meeting on the first Thursday of the month at the hall.

CWA cookbook a recipe for success Ladies from the Byng Emu Swamp CWA have proved not only can they cook from great recipes, but yet again their importance to the community. ASHLEA PRITCHARD While the CWA cookbook is an Australian icon; so is the benefit of St. Vincent De Paul. While supporting the less fortunate with housing, lowincome support service and education; another St. Vincent De Paul (Vinnies) service is providing food at times of need through running the Vinnies van and café.
September 25–October 1, 2014
While being a reliable service for at least seven years; program coodinator Rosie Frecklington said the service was on the brink of its own unfortunate times. “We were just about to run out of money,” Ms Frecklington said, adding the service was looking to lean on Orange Vinnies financial support services to run their fortnightly service. However, this was just before a donation of $6,800 from the Byng Emu Swamp CWA branch.
“I was praying for the money,” she said. This donation came about from sales of 1034 copies of the CWA branch’s cookbook ‘Who said we can’t cook?’ over the last year. The book was sold at 20 different venues in Orange, with all copies selling. Over $13,500 was raised with 95% of funds supporting both the Vinnies van and café, and AngelFlight.
CWA Byng Emu Swamp members Edwina Johnson, Vinnies van coordinator Rosie Frecklington, and CWA members RosBensch and Phyllis Wheeler.
Branch members Phyllis Wheeler and RosBensch said members chose to support these charities because they are funded entirely from donations and do great work in our community. “We were looking to help charities in our local area that don’t get a lot of publicity,” said Phyllis. AngelFlight is a charity that co-ordinates non-emergency flights to help country people trying to deal with bad health, financial trouble as well as the tyranny of distance. “[AngelFlight] caters for a group which can’t be catered for by emergency services,” Mrs Bensch said.

Send in the Clown
NSW Country Eagles rugby players Clay Brodie and Ethan Ford with staff from Discount Drug Stores at the North Orange Shopping Centre.

Eagles land CHRIS BENNETTS
A familiar colourful face will return to this year’s East to West Coast Rodeo Championships, and he’s ready to clown around! CHRIS BENNETTS Al Wilson AKA ‘Big Al’ the Rodeo Clown will again be entertaining the masses expected at this year’s rodeo on the 18th of october at The orange showground. His witty jokes and banter has the crowds in hysterics, and watching him run around with bulls chasing him is a thrilling sight for young and old. like many cowboys, Al’s passion for rodeo began at an early age. Growing up in Balmain, it was a life changing family holiday to the country, at the age of 18, that set him on the path for
the bright lights of the rodeo. “i made friends with some cowboys who invited me to their property in Penrith to learn the ropes of bull riding; it was not long after that my life became a world of chasing rodeos across Australia!” Al said. Al’s determination and passion for the thrilling sport eventually took him to the top of the game, as he turned professional and was considered one of the top five bull riders in the country throughout the 1980s and 90s. Al’s star continued to rise for many years, winning many of Australia’s biggest rodeos and getting his named mentioned internationally. That was all until a serious bull
riding injury in the late 1990s put a sudden halt to his bull riding career. “i suffered a massive head injury that fractured my skull so bad that brain fluid leaked out of my nose,” Al said. “it took me months of rehabilitation to recover, but i was left with brain injuries that still affect my speech, balance and vision.” Feeling depressed that his bull riding career was at an end, Al looked to the rodeo for another outlet. “i started doing small spots as a comedy clown in 2000,” he said. “i began getting my athletic ability back, and i went from strength to strength. i had a new lease on life!”
Al’s triumphant return was capped off by being named Australian rodeo clown of the year, and since donning the face paint and red nose he has been voted 9 times Australian rodeo clown of the year. “There is much more to being a rodeo clown than people realise... it’s not hard to get a bull to chase you, all you have to do is stand in his way, it’s knowing how to not get hit by the bull that is hard to be good at,” he explained. “Rodeo clowns are also entertainers at the rodeo, their timing between the action and events must be spot on. You have to understand that the rodeo is both a sporting event as well as a theatre.” Big Al has spent 30 years chasing his cowboy dreams and he can’t see the spotlights or sawdust fading for some time yet.
NSW Country Eagles rugby players Clay Brodie and Ethan Ford were at the North Orange Shopping Centre last week, meeting and greeting the public ahead of their match against the Melbourne Rising at Wade Park. “It’s nice to be able to get out and meet the public and hear their encouraging words,” said Clay. “We are proud to represent the Country as part of the Eagles organisation and we like to give back to our fans wherever we can.” The impressive Super Rugby trophy was also on hand for fans to touch. The players said they were looking forward to sampling some of Orange’s most renowned food after the match was done!

CHICKEN TEST! It seems the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has a unique device for testing the strength of windshields on airplanes. The device is a gun that launches a dead chicken at a plane’s windshield at approximately the speed the plane flies. The theory is that if the windshield doesn’t crack from the carcass impact, it’ll survive a real collision with a bird during flight. It seems the British were very interested in this and wanted to test a windshield on a brand new, speedy locomotive they’re developing.

RSPCA Mower is a No-Goer
RSPCA’s Matt Morrison and this RSPCA pooch are hoping someone from the public may be able to help them out!
Can you help? The Orange RSPCA regret to report that after many years of faithful service, their trusty rideon lawn mower has finally packed it in. CHRIS BENNETTS And being a not-for -profit organisation that relies on the selflessness of others, they are hoping someone might be able to help them out. “We are hoping that someone out there may have an old ride-on mower that they
don’t use anymore, that they would ideally like to donate to the RSPCA,” said RSPCA team leader Marissa Clifford. The mower will be used to maintain the animal exercise area, which is slightly too big for a push mower. “The exercise area is where we teach the dogs important social skills, and a place for the ducks and chickens to stretch their legs,”

The ‘A for Effort’ Orange Public School Tournament of Minds team, Amber Shilling, Ethan Delaney, Darcy Climpson, Emily L’Estrange, Madeleine Owens and Cezar Dihel.
CHRIS BENNETTS Canobolas High Design and Technology students continue to wow their teachers and friends with great work! Students recently completed their Year 12 Major Works after many weeks of planning, hard work and problem solving. The projects are now proudly on display in the school’s library. Haley Milne demonstrated a great understanding of modern information technology by developing an informative e-book. Her 80 page ‘Make-up Guide for Beginners’ e-book contains a variety of media including, photos, instructional videos, and text. “Make-up is a huge passion of mine, and at the moment it’s something I would like to pursue in the future,” Haley said. “The project was a lot easier to do because I am interested in the topic.” Haley has also developed a YouTube channel and Facebook page (Haley Jean Makeup) which are starting to get attention. “The YouTube channel is going well, I’m gaining followers and I have even had a company send me products for testing.” “I am very proud of the finished project, and I’d like to thank Mr. Scott and all my friends who helped me get it done!” Nick Cowley developed an innovative walking stick that features bright LED lights at the
Orange Public School team given an A for effort base. “I got the idea from watching my grandfather, he uses a walking stick and I just thought it would make things easier for him at night if he had lights to shine the way!” Nick tried and tested many prototypes to get his project right. “I tried using different materials such as aluminium, but I settled on steel because of its weight and strength.” “I’ll be giving the walking stick to my grandfather this Christmas!” Teacher, Malcom Kay said the staff were very impressed with the whole class. “Design and Technology is a difficult subject, it requires students to basically create something from nothing,” he said. “It’s very rewarding for the students to see their project move from initial ideas and concepts drawn on paper, through to planning and development. They have all done extremely well and should be proud of their hard work.”
Orange Public School students are to represent NSW in the Australasian Pacific Final of Tournament of Minds for the first time. A team of bright and bubbly Orange Public School students will represent NSW in the Tournament of Minds Australasian Pacific Final next month as the only regional school involved. The team of year 5 and 6 students were awarded state champions in the language and literature section at the state TOM competition recently, before the third school term ended. TOM involves each team choosing a demanding and open-ended challenge relating to one of four disciplines – applied technology, language and literature, math and engineering or social sciences – and providing a solution.
To defeat Kincoppal Junior School Rose Bay in their chosen language and literature field, the students presented a short drama piece. “We felt a bit nervous doing our play,” said student Darcy Climpson. He said being named the first Orange Public School state finalists is an honour. “For seconds, we were silent and then we started screaming,” Darcy said, describing the moment when their team read out as winners. After school holidays students will commence preparations for the Australasian Finals in Melbourne on October 18th, where they will compete against other finalists in a series of problem-solving challenges. TOM team facilitator, Annabel HughesClapp said the school community is very proud of the team. “They are greatly creative and showed great teamwork,” Ms Hughes-Clapp said.

Thumbs down to supporters of the local rugby major semi-final who took it upon themselves to sneak into the game via the back gate to avoid paying. Not only letting the home team down but CW Rugby. Thumbs up to the staff at Spring Street Childcare Centre for their time spent helping the children to create great Father’s Day gifts. Thumbs up to Lucknow Skin Shop. Lovely people, good service. Keep it up! Thumbs down to clowns who rip people’s roads up. They are wrecking them and their own cars. Grow up. Thumbs down to the financial company that does not get back to their customers! That’s not ok everyone is busy! But a simple yes or no would have been acceptable. Thumbs down to a cleaner at a local business for not providing professional service and accepting pay. Shame on you!

This picture was captured by Fred Patey at Lockhart. These bright yellow Canola flowers make for a wonderful sight.
Thumbs down to a minority of arrogant baristas in Orange. Customer service is half your job. Especially with all the competition around. Poor form. Thumbs down to take away shops that assume we all like BBQ sauce. Hamburgers originally came with tomato sauce who said now they come with BBQ. Tomato sauce lovers stand your ground and take-away shops should never assume we all like BBQ. Please give the option, from tomato sauce lover. Thumbs up to Wayne from Borenore, who helped me with a flat tyre, only to discover that my spare was also flat. He kindly used his lunch break to drive me and my two flat tyres to a shop to get one repaired, drive me back to my care and fitted it, all with a smile. Thanks mate you’re a gem. Thumbs up to the person who handed my wallet in to IGA, thank you. There are good people out there.

Plagiarism, My Young Padawan Try Not. Do or Do Not, there is no Try. YODA I can still remember it like it was yesterday. Sitting in that theatre in Sydney late in 1977, at one of the first screenings in Australia of Star Wars : A New Hope. I jumped out of my seat and actually looked above and behind me to see where the Imperial Cruiser was coming from, as the surround-sound debuted and brought new meaning to cinema viewing. Cut to 2014, and this year I have been educating the third of my ‘young padawan learners’ in the ways of The Force and the terrible power of the Dark Side. I’m sure you all know that the first movie made was actually episode 4 in the 6-part series, with the first three movies not made until this century. So we’ve watched the movies in the correct order, 1 to 6, not in the order they were made for the screen. We have surround speakers at home, making the experience all the more real for the apprentice warrior sitting beside me, as he plays catch-up with the never ending references to Star Wars material made by TV shows and in the papers (not to mention all of the quips that come up at our dinner table). Speaking like Jedi Master Yoda has become a skill we are all trying to perfect. Sometimes it works. Sometimes work, it does not. When the young viewer sensationally realised that Anakin Skywalker had turned against his master and the ways of the Force, to embrace the Dark Side as Sith Lord Darth Vader, his life had changed forever. Then, in movie
number 5, is there a bigger moment in movie history than when old Darth turns to the young Jedi and says “Luke … I Am Your Father”. What !? It cannot be true! Last week, I attended the funeral of a high profile and highly respected member of the Orange community. Whilst the commemorative service was a sad occasion, it was also a wonderful celebration and tribute to this much loved gentleman, mate and family man. You can never really say that you ‘enjoy’ a funeral, but you know there’s been a big impact made when the congregation launches into spontaneous applause many times during the service. So, here’s the reason for writing the column. One of the grandkids spoke bravely, eloquently and with passion about her love for grandad. She explained to the gathering that they didn’t call their grandad pop, papa, or grandpa. His name from the grandkids was Obi. Yep, as in Obi-Wan Kenobi – the wisest and most respected leader of them all. I’d never heard this story before and had to stifle a bit of applause myself as I broke into a huge smile, nodded my head in acknowledgement of the best-ever grandad name I’d ever heard. You get kicked out of University for plagiarism, or fined millions of dollars for stealing song riffs and lyrics without permission, but I think I’m going to steal this one for when my time as a grandpa comes around. If I’m lucky, that might come in the next 15 years or so. When you are young you don’t get to choose your nickname – it chooses you, or your mates deal you one, good or bad. But I think by the time you are in your senior years, it’s OK to take on your own moniker. So ‘Obi’ it’s gonna be for me. I hope the family who have used this before don’t think I am plagiarising – because to copy from them, my intention, is not.

mystery as to why “expatriates” living permanently in another country sometimes with dual nationality always seem to be given voting rights in their home country. We know of many Australians, some prominent, living permanently overseas in e.g. USA or UK are able to vote in Australian Elections. Is it not a paradox if people (expatriates) are so serious about their home politics that they would then live in Australia and contribute to Australia’s prosperity? Bill Barwood

by at least 178 people who bid generously. The many businesses and community groups which made this major fund raising auction, held at the Services Club Canowindra, possible are to be thanked and congratulated for their sponsorships and donations, freely given, resulting in a healthy profit for Camp Quality. It would be impossible to list all those who gave so generously. The Services Club and Lions Club have to be acknowledged for their effort on the night which made such an enjoyable social event possible. It is believed at least 27 “tractors” travelled the round journey of about 320+ kms and the variety of machines which passed along Gaskill Street, Canowindra to eventfully bivouac at the Show Ground was entertaining and would have thrilled the many “tractor” enthusiasts who watched the parade as it passed by. It always takes a driving force to make these types of events so successful. Canowindra’s Roy White has to be recognised as one, as without Roy’s drive, persistence and initiative in gaining such strong support from Canowindra it is likely, Tractor Trek 2014 and Canowindra would have been a non event.

WHO AM I?
I was born on January 1, 1973, in London, and grew up in a highly political family, the daughter of prominent socialists. At 15 I began modelling professionally in England and France, but decided to focus on acting. My first starring part was in In The Name Of The Father (1993). That led to big roles in Circle Of Friends (1995), the sci-fi Wing Commander (1999) and the thriller Deep Blue Sea (1999). I also starred in the hit films Troy (2004) and The Bank Job (2008). I have become a regular on TV, with roles in Boston Legal and Law And Order: Criminal Intent. I’ve had several high-profile relationships – I dated actor Daniel Day-Lewis; my engagement to Alan Cumming ended when he left me for a man; I was later romantically linked with Irish actor Fiona Shaw.

Carving out a new life for those old book buddies However relentless Curtis Peasley’s hacksaw may seem, he hopes to revive the lives of old and tatty tomes to tell new stories. Book sculptor, Curtis Peasley f you have a collection of yellow-paged, silverfish-devoured classics piled, ready for the dump; those beloved companions can have a better life than in landfill. A growing trend in contemporary art is giving these ‘re-purposing’ old books—once greatly adored—a second life. One of these burgeoning artists is Curtis Peasley.
Curtis began visual and graphic art studies after graduatingfrom Orange High School in 2002. Mr Peasley, 29, graduated with a Visual Arts Bachelor from Southern Cross University in 2007, and a Bachelor of Graphic Design from University of Canberra in 2012. During his studies, Curtis was particularly struck by the art of book sculpting. He took to scouring op-shops
and collecting characteristic books for his projects. “The tattered, yellow-paged books are the ones I look for; the ones that don’t have long before they are sent to the tip. I thought I could save them from that destiny,” he said. Mr Peasley then sets about laboriously hand-cutting the book/s - using a hacksaw and spring clamps – into rectangles and squares that are then arrang-
ing the blocks to result in a striking, heading-turning effect. Curtis said the whole process is about deconstructing a book to tell a different story. “It’s a moment of transition instead of the death of the book,” he said. “I create a brand new narrative out of something that has an already pre-determined beginning, middle and end.” Mr Peasley’s first solo exhibi-
Orange City Life
tion ‘Cooked Books’ opens this Friday at the Corner Store Gallery. He said he’s keen to gauge the public’s opinion of his work, given they prove to be talking points. “People are quite shocked – but equally enchanted – by the whole idea,” he said. The exhibition runs until October 12. Visit www.curtispeasley.com for more information. Ashlea Pritchard

ARE YOU IN A BAND? A DANCER? A JUGGLER? WANT A STORY?
local hip hop artist ‘Jakey J’ is set to release his debut eP, and he said it will give an insight of what it’s like to struggle through hardships. “The songs on the EP tell the story of relationships and new beginnings,” Jakey J explained. “I’ve been through some pretty rough times, so music has been a saving release for me.” The Certificate 4 Music student said he got into hiphop for the positive aspects it brings to life. “Not only do I write songs to help me make sense of a situation, but I also hope they speak to others who may be going through something similar,” Jakey said. “I also want people to know that if you put your mind to it, you can achieve anything.” Jakey has started his own record label ‘Skitzomitzo Recordzs’, and he is on the lookout for people to collaborate with. “I’m into all genres, from electronic, solo acoustic acts and rock... I find a way to work with all musicians.” Keep an eye on the ‘Jakey J’ Facebook page for more updates.

Seb said the band have been working on a concept album that derives from his playful recordings during his university music studies. “I started writing in UNI. Whenever I recorded, I’d put in as many guitar lines as possible,” Seb said, talking about why the band has three guitarists. “Each guitarist is playing something different all the time.” Seb said the band’s sound has diversified with the varying musical influences of band members. Keelan is a folky guitarist whereas
guitarist Jacob plays more of blues; and the diversity of musical influences adds to the band’s sound. “What I write isn’t easy to pick up. I’m proud of how we pull it off,” Seb said. The band have recorded nearly all of the nine tracks for their first album at Jungle Studios in Sydney, with the tracks being mastered at the prestigious 301 Studios. “Our first album is a concept album. It needs to be done as one,” Seb said, describing the band’s upcoming first release. From there the band will work together
to produce something that represents their collective creative pursuits. Stare At The Clouds are headlining at the upcoming October 4th on the 4 on the 4loor showcase. Seb said this gig will be a relatively rare time to see the five-piece in Orange, given most of the band are based in Sydney. The 4 on the 4loor showcase features five acts, and is held on October 4th at the Victoria Hotel, starting at 8:30pm.

”I’m sure you will find this unusual. This cloud appeared across the arena at Guerie Cutting Championships in March 2014, and was gone in 10 minutes.” ~ Helen Akerstrom
Roll Cloud at Molong, something extremely rare. Photo by Shane Lear.
Mick Breen writes, ” ...A photo that would make people look twice and I’m sure most would do just that when they see this one ! There is no photo-shopping involved with this image whatsoever, apart from rotating it 180 degrees. It is one frame only, but took me a few hours to set it up though ! It is simply a glass of wine, a harmonica, a music book and a candle that burns upside down!”

Surprise Party for Brian and Carol
Heeding the Warning Signs
Photos by Donna steDman Brian and Carol were looking forward to having dinner with their 3 children and families on Friday, September 12th at the Borenore Store to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. When they were lead out the back to a large marquee and found 80 of their family and friends waiting for them. Guests travelled from Perth, Gladstone, Sydney and the South Coast to celebrate with the lovely couple. Granddaughter Abbi did a lovely speech and Niece, Kate made their anniversary cake.

A few years ago an acquaintance was riding his motorbike to work when he had an accident. There were no warning signs indicating any danger from an area where some road works had been carried out. The unsuspecting rider fell off and broke his leg. Had there been appropriate signs, he could have exercised caution and avoided the accident. It would be foolish for anyone to ignore the ‘Danger Ahead’ sign or the flashing lights when they are
displayed. It is to our benefit to heed them. People today are looking for the meaning to life and with so many ideologies around it can be confusing as to which path to take. Some people think it does not matter what you believe or what road you choose; all end up in the same place. Jesus says differently – the wrong road leads to destruction (Matthew 7:13-14). What we believe is important because it will impact on the way we live. People and movements come and go but only God’s word lasts forever. If we check what we hear and read against what the Bible says we won’t be deceived but will be saved from going down the wrong track.

My take on it.. Good
I can’t wait for this Saturdays AFL grand final. It’s not going to be good; it’s going to be great! Hawthorn verses the Swans. The powers that be in AFL circles could not have hoped for a better match to end season 2014. Arguably, the biggest name in the sport at the moment, Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin representing his new club against his old club the Hawks with whom he won a premiership last year. Hawthorn snuck home last week over a valiant Port Adelaide side by just three points (15.7) 97 to (13.16) 94. The MCG will, as always, be packed full. The Hawks will play the Swans for the second time in three seasons, the first time saw Hawthorne fall short after they perhaps under-estimated the Swans but not this week. Both teams have had big seasons and have been for mine, the twostandout sides. You know it’s a good contest when people who would not normally get into the AFL are talking about it. The pressure to perform will surely be on Buddy’s shoulders but he has been there, done that before and so will no doubt be prepared. He has set the Swans alight this year, proving he can also be the biggame player in Sydney that he was for the Hawks in previous years. His stunning burst in the last quarter of the qualifying final broke Freemantle and he was one of the best on field in the Swans’ cakewalk over North Melbourne in the preliminary final. Such contests must make the other codes nervous. The AFL already does everything better by way of broadcasting, player interviews and spectator interaction. Maybe channel nine and the NRL could send some of their execs to Melbourne to better understand what it means to care about the game and it fans. If you’re trying to get hold of me on Saturday arvo, leave a message, I’m busy.
Bad
What a couple of weeks it has been in the NRL. Teams seems to be racking up points with ease only to take the foot off the throttle and allow the opposition back into the game. Each game seems to have gone down to the wire. The Roosters managed to shorten my life expectancy a little on Friday night, despite racing out to a 30 points to nil lead. As a Roosters fan, I never felt comfortable, the Cowboys hadn’t yet held the ball for any length of time and as we now know, as soon as they did, points flowed. I imagine the feelings of both delight and despair that I went through on Friday night, was also felt by both Manly and Bulldogs fans on Saturday. Manly never looked in the game and all of a sudden the scores were drawn at 16 all, and it seemed as though Manly had all the momentum before the Bulldogs kicked the field goal in golden point to move through to this weekend against the Panthers. By the way, the sooner they law-makers make it golden try the better, but I digress… So what’s so bad about all that I hear you ask? Well my attitude to the Roosters allowing the Cowboys back into the game was very bad. I was filthy, outrageously so. Even had a domestic dispute with the remote control at one stage… I just struggled to deal with the ease at which the Cowboys seemed to score. It frustrated me to the point of not watching. But I couldn’t stay away for long. Anyway, the Roosters won (and it WAS a knock-on) and I settled down. Of course with Manly now gone from the 2014 race, the Roosters, if they weren’t already, moved quickly into first place as the most despised side still in with a chance of winning. At least with Manly still there the hatred was more evenly spread… If anyone is interested, I think (but hope I’m wrong) that the Roosters will get hammered by the Rabbits and the Bulldogs (again, I’d be happy to be wrong) will get through against Penrith in a very tight affair. Souths to win the comp; not that I’ll be watching!

The punching rule. It is an absolute necessary evil and make no mistake, it’s here to stay. But in what format? The Manly-Bulldogs game highlighted, for me at least, a couple of big issues. One guy from each side got put in the bin for throwing a punch at different stages of the match. The rule, in black and white, is simple; throw a punch and you’re off for a ten minute rest regardless of the type of punch or indeed the reasons behind it. Let me just re-iterate – there is no future for punching, or the biff, to be allowed back into the game. However, the two punches thrown in that game that saw the men put in the bin, were benign at best, but the rule is the rule. That’s where it all gets a bit grey for me. If a rule is so black and white that the breaking of said rule sees the offender thrown in the bin, why aren’t ALL other rules policed in a similar way. That is; if a rule is broken, blow the whistle. The game isn’t policed that way for a reason; it would be silly to do so. Sometimes the referee has to use some discretion and allow play to continue. So how can the NRL justify instructing the Ref’s to use NO discretion in the instance of a punch but allow everything else to just go with the flow? The same must be said for the advantage rule that allowed the Bulldogs a scrum and another six tackles because the ball hit the ref after the Bulldogs had kicked it. Both incidents’ involving the punches were a bit messy. The first flared up because a ‘chicken wing’ tackle had been used. Then when the two players came together fists were used. For me, the bloke that did the ‘chicken wing’ should have been put in the bin, but of course that’s not a rule as such. It went on report and the player in question may get a week’s rest, but he may not. And that’s the problem. Ten in the bin for a chicken wing PLUS the threat of further penalty through suspension, will see the end of chicken wing tackles and the like. It may also prevent any further flare ups from taking place. If the victim on the end of the chicken wing knows the perpetrator will be dealt with because there IS a rule in place to protect him, he may not feel the need to take things into his own hands. Seems an easy fix to me. If you’ve got some other solutions or ideas, lets hear them.

Sport Help Donna get to Seoul and win gold Vision impaired tenpin bowling star Donna Holland is hoping for some community support this weekend ahead of the International Blind Sports Federation (IBSA) World Championships and Games. Donna is part of a sixmember tenpin bowling team who will represent Australia at the South Korean Championships next May, selected after her remarkable performance at the Australian Blind Tenpin Bowling Championships in April. Donna still needs to raise $2,000 by December to attend, and hopes a tenpin bowling fundraiser this weekend at can help her close in on her fundraising target. “I’m raising money little by little,” she said. “As [the games] get
closer, it gets really exciting.” Donna said she’d like to take away gold. A social tenpin bowling day, ‘Donna’s Fundraising Day’, will be held at Orange Tenpin Bowl on Sunday from 2pm until 4pm. Participants will play two games for $20; with a ‘seven no cap rule’, which means that if you hit down seven or more pins, it counts as a strike. Money raised from game participants will be equally given to Donna and the Orange Tenpin Bowl. Spectators are welcome with a $5 door charge to assist with Donna’s campaign. Competition and lucky door prizes will be awarded on the day.

Apology needed I have this week been accused of a heinous crime. I have been called one eyed! Not in the traditional pirate sense of the word, but as an avid supporter of the Orange Emus Rugby Club. And you know what, got me in one! I am a supporter of the Emus. The club was once a massive part of my life and like anyone else that devotes time, money and effort into something, they have my heart. However as a sports guy in this great city it is up to me to promote all sports as equally as I can, hopefully without putting my green eyes in for too long. So I would like to offer an apology to the Orange City Rugby Club’s Colts side. These guys are the 2014 champions and were the defending premiers. When writing last weeks stuff I just plain forgot the lads and for that ALONE, I am sorry. Your feat did not go un-noticed and your current success will no doubt see further fruition as senior playing members of your club. Well done guys, and sorry again. If you’ve got a beef with the lack of coverage I’m giving your sport please do one of two things; send me an email inviting me along to your day or give me a call, if I can get there I will. For future reference go Emus, go Orange City Cricket Club, do well Orange Hawks, play well Duntryleague golfers, tear ‘em apart you mighty Roosters, up the Swans and go with gusto the Sydney Sixers.

Marsh’s star set to soar Mitchell Marsh’s star is poised to get much brighter with a test debut around the corner, after Shane Watson was ruled out of next month’s series against Pakistan. A day after the 22-year-old entrenched his reputation as a devastating hitter with consecutive sixes from the last two balls of a Champions League Twenty20 match to steal a victory for Perth, the odds of him making his red-ball debut for Australia in the United Arab Emirates surged with the withdrawal of fellow all-rounder Watson. The decision demonstrates the policy of only selecting the 33-year-old in Tests when he is able to bowl, which was announced earlier this year, is continuing under new chief selector Rod Marsh. Before that, selectors were willing to select him as a specialist batsman. “Shane has done everything he can to get up for this tour and left no doubt in our minds that he wanted to push through,” Rod Marsh said. “Had the decision been left to Shane, he would be on the plane to Dubai, however as selectors we have taken a conservative approach to ensure he has the best chance of being fit for the big summer ahead. While right-hander Mitch Marsh boasts an underwhelming Sheffield Shield batting average of 25.76 from the 32 matches he has played over the past five years he is coming off a solid season, in which he scored 493 runs at an average of 37.92 for Western Australia. This was complemented by 15 wickets at an average of 27.67, slightly better than his career average of 28.53.

Now for the first time in Australian building history Bellriver Homes is offering ‘The No Excuses Fixed Price Home Building Contract.’ We have only three conditions: 1) Excludes unregistered or contaminated sites e.g. Asbestos 2) Excludes new or unknown statutory requirements (if they change the rules) 3) Excludes sites at our discretion where we cannot do our due diligence. What’s The Catch? There isn’t one. Everything will be upfront, transparent and fully detailed in your contract. With Bellriver you can now feel as secure buying a home as you are living in one.

Sport Not one, but two! Euan Evans is a 72-year-old member of Royal Melbourne Golf Club who managed not just one but two holes in one during his round last week. Euan holed out at the parthree 13th hole on the east course, then again at the parthree 16th within an hour of each other. The odds of the feat are estimated at 67 million to one. The left-hander, who plays off a handicap of 6.2, hit perfect six irons for both holes in one. “I was playing a four-ball, and I hit off third (at the 13th),’’ Evans told golf.org.au. “One of the earlier guys had hit it to 12 feet, and it was the usual thing ‘I’d better get inside that’. It landed, and one of the guys said ‘I think that’s going in!’ We watched it go straight in. “It was funny at the 16th, because one of the guys had a shot on me, and my partner said ‘the only way we’re going to win this hole is if you hole in one again’. And of course I did. We watched it land, I thought it was going to be short but it went in with the last roll.’’ Evans was required to shout the bar in the longheld tradition, but will not find himself on an honour board. “I might have to donate my own honour board and I’ll say: ‘You only get on here if you have two (holes-in-one) in one day!’’ he said. Evans, who lives in Hampton, has had four previous aces in a career that includes pennant golf for RMGC.

Summer is upon us Western Zone defeated Hawkesbury CC in the now annual preseason Trial Match at Dubbo’s Victoria Park No.1 Oval last Saturday. Spearheaded by Orange’s Jackson Coote (4-32 off 9), his Mitchell teammate Chris Boothroyd (2-22 off 8) and Dubbo tearaway Ben Patterson (2-30 off 5), WZ
dismissed Hawkesbury CC for 208. Coote bowled good lines and lengths and benefitted from HCC batsmen throwing the bat far too often. Patterson bowled a quick first spell on a belter of a pitch. Boothroyd was his usual steady and accurate self, knocking over the stumps with both dismissals and taking a sharp catch on the third man boundary to provide the re-invigorated Coote one of his wickets. Despite a regulation late collapse for the 2nd year in

Hi Everyone, This week I came across a great graphic design by a guy from the USA, Ross Coben from Supreme Graphics. He designed an image of me bowling. It is so cool, I thought that I would share it with you all. Some people are so talented, thanks Ross. Off to Japan for a week, then getting ready for the PBA Summer Swing Series in October. Be Good Orange. Cheers Jason Belmonte
a row, Western Zone passed Hawkesbury with three wickets in hand. Jordan Moran (57), late call-up Chris Morton (46) and Orange’s very talented 17 year-old Charles Litchfield (28) led the top order charge for Western Zone. Michael Curtale captured the eye with a blazing 44 of just 24 balls, complete with four boundaries and four massive sixes. In all it was a good start for the Zone side considering they were missing a couple of regulars.
