OPEN FOR business! — JONATHAN ROE —

...It was gut wrenching having to close, but it was worse looking out here into a blank restaurant not seeing any people in it...

Step by step, life is slowly getting back to normal in Orange. Children have returned to schools, office workers to their desks and patrons can once again sit down for a meal in their favourite cafes and restaurants.

MAY 28 — JUNE 3 , 2020

or café owner Kate Jones, the ten-person limit is a far cry from her normal capacity of 68, but she is just happy to see her customers face to face once more. “As soon as we were allowed to have people back in here, we were always going to open whether it was ten, eight, whatever,” said Kate. “Just seeing people back in here was so good. There’s no money in ten people, but for us it was more about connecting with our customers and last week we had a ripper! We saw so many faces we haven’t seen in a long time.” When cafes and restaurants were first ordered to close their dining rooms, Kate

switched her focus to takeaway sales, even opening at 4.30am to generate more trade. But as things grew more serious, Kate made the decision to close her doors. “I think that first week was probably the toughest that I’ve ever felt in business and I’ve been in small business for about 18 years,” she said. “It was gut wrenching having to close, but it was worse looking out here into a blank restaurant not seeing any people in it, no laughter, no discussions, I was just so sad. So we just decided in the end that it was better we closed. But six weeks later, here we are!” From Monday, venues will be allowed to hold a maximum of 50 people although social distancing requirements must be adhered to. For Kate, the floor area means she can seat

27 people, but seeing any number of people in her restaurant again is good news to her. “So 27 people for us and still as many as you want to sit outside so happy days! We can fit 68 normally, but I’ll take 27! Twenty-seven is better than zero, so I’m pretty pumped! “We also do a lot of outside catering as well and that’s starting to come back now as well because the restrictions are lifted. Meetings are coming back, people are allowed to have people in their homes, so we’ve done a couple of birthday parties and we’ve got weddings starting to book back in again. “But I can’t tell you how good it felt to see people in here laughing last week. I just love being with people and our customers have really missed that connection as well. It is good for your soul, it really is!”

OCLife THROUGH MY EYES

with Jonathan Roe

EDITOR’S NOTE: Following my Comment here last week on Unfashionable Health Care, this piece by our Jonathan Roe seemed highly appropriate as a follow on. Bob Holland

DR GOOGLE DOESN’T KNOW BEST I’m certain most of us are guilty of consulting ‘Dr Google’ from time to time for various ailments. And those that have, know that if you follow the rabbit down the hole long enough, you are bound to arrive at the inevitable cancer diagnosis. But just how much can ‘Dr Google’ really be relied upon? Well, it turns out not much. A new study from Edith Cowan University (ECU), published in the Medical Journal of Australia last week, looked at the accuracy of 27 online symptom checkers. Their results showed online symptom checkers returned the correct diagnosis in the top listing in just 36 per cent of tests. And, more worryingly, the correct diagnosis featured in the top ten results just 58 per cent of the time. That means that in 4 out of ten searches, the correct diagnosis did not make the top ten results at all!

Visiting the 911 memorial was a very surreal experience for me. I was in Year 1 when the attack took place which meant I had very little knowledge and relied on my parent’s perspective to put the pieces together. Walking up to the memorial fountain pools, the outside lined with names of lives who were lost, I looked down to see, ‘Tarel Coleman’, it seemed a little, ‘meant to be’, I spent the afternoon learning about Tarel and his role (A first responder for the New York City Fire Department.) The museum will truly take your breath away as it holds salvaged remnants of the buildings, vehicles, personal effects, tributes and so much more. A must-see and do when in the City that never sleeps.

The study also looked at triage advice, that is advising people when to seek medical help. Good advice was given just 49 per cent of the time although for emergency situations the sites tested provided good advice 60 per cent of the time. The study also found triage advice tended to be overly cautious, which is certainly better than the alternative, but it was acknowledged that this may lead to people heading to the Emergency Department when they don’t need to. Local doctor Steve Peterson says there is much more that goes into

“An internet search could give an opinion, but without the context of a patient, where they live, how hard is it for them to get to the doctor, how sick are they, what other illnesses they have, the picture is incomplete... A patient benefits from an assessment by a doctor who knows them, knows their context, knows their individual risk factors, medical history and particular vulnerabilities, which they will never get in a Google Search,” said Dr Peterson. “I don’t do my own mechanical research and tinker with the car, I seek the advice of someone who knows what they are doing, I guess I’d encourage the same with medicine.” Not that there is anything wrong with people taking an interest in their own health and seeking information, said Dr Peterson, but it is important to know the limitations of online health advice. “If anyone has diagnosed themselves with ‘Dr Google’, that’s fine — take the information they have or their queries or concerns to a doctor who knows them well and chat about it,” he said. “Hopefully that doctor will be able to take that information and use their experience and skills to put that into the patient’s context, and follow-up whatever management is done. There is a lot to be gained by people having that relationship with a doctor they know and trust.”

Clancy Tops the

Charts — MELISE COLEMAN —

t’s one thing to release your very first single, it’s another to become an iTunes country chart topper the very same day. Orange local (we claim her as our own sorry Oberon), Clancy Pye has done just that and remains completely humble about the whole experience. Clancy’s debut single ‘Get Lost’ came out on Friday last week and it didn’t take long for it to skyrocket above the familiar household names that country fans love. “I very much grew up on country music.” Clancy explained, “I’ve studied the writers that I look up to and for the past 10 years I’ve really honed in on my song writing and have been working on a collection of songs that people can relate to and enjoy. I guess I got to the point last year where I felt I was starting to get some songs together that people would potentially like.” “It’s terrifying,” Clancy laughed, “It’s taken me a while to figure out my own sound and own direction, I think in the industry it’s very easy to try and want to be like someone else, but I really wanted to carve my own path and let my songs be the driver of that I suppose. “From a song writing point of view, 10 years ago I would have loved to have released music, but I didn’t feel like my song writing was at a level that I would feel comfortable to release my own music, so I wanted to put in a few years and get them to a higher standard. I kept writing and kept writing, it’s a process of just honing your skills and trying

to develop something a little better than the last thing you wrote. When I first heard the final mastered track of the album it was a really special feeling, it felt like a very big accomplishment.” When Clancy’s single became number one it was a very proud sister who delivered the news. “I definitely did not expect anything like this to happen. I just couldn’t believe it to be honest. It just goes to show the power of the people, there’s been a lot of communities around the Central West that I’ve been playing in front of for a lot of years and they’ve stuck with me and they got on board when I was ready to release.” Clancy mentioned this lockdown period has been the longest that she’s had off performing live since she was probably 12 years old. “I’ve actually enjoyed taking a step back, I am missing it for sure but at the same time it’s given me more time on getting the EP out, because it’s been a big project. When everything is back to normal, it will be about getting back out there singing again.” Clancy’s next single, ‘Heaven Can’t Wait’ will be released in the next few months. With her EP to be released around August. “I’m incredibly thankful for anyone who has ever turned up to a gig and followed me from when we first started playing music. The support has been incredible and very unexpected but I wanted to say a big thankyou to the Central West for really supporting the song and myself. It’s really nice to represent our area in country music.”

Free music gigs to kickstart country communities — JONATHAN ROE —

WITH RESTRICTIONS ON PUBLIC GATHERINGS CAUTIOUSLY EASING, LOCAL BAND THE PHRASE NOISE OFFENSIVE ARE PLANNING A SERIES OF FREE GIGS AIMED AT HELPING SMALL COUNTRY TOWNS GET BACK ON THEIR FEET.

ears of drought, followed by a summer of intense heat, massive dust storms, devastating bushfires and now a global pandemic have stifled local economies — just as the seasons looked to have turned a corner. But the Phrase Noise Offensive — Geoff Buss, Steven Davis, Mark Tiernan and Dane Parker — plan to bring a little life back into some of these small communities “It’s to try and get people back into the place, to spend their money on the ground,” said Steven Davis, better known as Rocket. The band had previously talked about doing a drought fundraising tour but now they hope their “Bringing it back to the Bush Tour” can support businesses in these small towns. “A lot of the bigger charities aren’t getting to these places you know, so we thought we’d give these guys a kick start,” said Rocket. The band have lined up sponsorship for

the tour, which will pay for a T-shirt, hats and drink coolers to be given away. The rest of the money will be distributed as lucky door prizes to people in attendance in the form of gift vouchers to be spent at local businesses. “We’ve got three sponsors onboard at that moment, and three in the wings, and we haven’t really been canvassing a lot, it’s just been conversations like this and somebody will say, I’ll give you $500 a show… So we’ve already got enough to get some money on the ground, but if any other sponsors want to come on board we are happy to accommodate them too” said Rocket. “It will be a great little kick along for these places. The money will be shared equally between the towns and we’ll probably do a voucher draw during the shows.” The first of the three free shows will take place in Tullamore on Saturday 17 September, followed by Tomingley on 17 October, but then the tour will finish with a mystery gig on Saturday 14 November.

“We’ve got two venues tied in, but we decided on a bit of a comp for people to say why they want us to come and play on that final Saturday. They’ve just got to contact us through Facebook and send in a two-minute video to say why they’d like us to come and play in their town,” said Rocket. The competition for entries opens on June 1 and the winning venue for the final show will be drawn live on Facebook on 27 June. “We are also hoping that the submissions are fairly creative in promoting their town,” added fellow band member Mark Tiernan. “Tell us all why your town is a really great place to go we can then promote it, share it and encourage people to come out and maybe book a room and see it. “The only proviso we’re putting on it,” said Rocket, “Is we get accommodation, some drinks and a feed and the venue is an all-weather venue. But then we’ll be there to play, we’ll take T-shirts for the bar staff, have some hats and stubby coolers to give away and we’ll put money on the ground!”

Of course, the gigs going ahead will be dependent on what social distancing requirements are in place at the time, but with some light now visible at the end of the tunnel the band is hoping to bring a bit of fun to these towns along with a little cash injection. “Yeah, it’s not just the financial input, although that’s a big part of it,” said Geoff ‘Bussy’ Buss. “We want people to go to those towns, but more than that it is about lifting the morale and getting people happy and excited about something again. There’s a lot of people, especially in country areas, that are susceptible to depression, so we are just trying to lift everyone’s’ spirits.” “It will be a morale booster and positive thing for the town on that day,” said Rocket. “People can come in and have a good night, and hopefully kick into a good summer!” To enter the competition or contact The Phrase Noise Offensive, you can find them on Facebook.

Andrew GEE MP

FEDERAL MEMBER FOR CALARE WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL! It was great to see the smiling faces on the year 6 kids back at Orange Public School this week! Both NSW and QLD resumed full-time face-to-face learning as of Monday, which I have been very supportive of for some time. Remote/online learning and home schooling has been tough on many – kids, parents and teachers. And with one in two Aussie kids

deemed vulnerable to falling behind because of a lack of face-toface learning over recent months, it’s been crucial that we get them back in the classroom as quickly as possible. A big thank you to all school teachers and staff everywhere for their commitment and dedication during this really difficult and stressful period.

help team Cobb push for better ps. 21 days – 3,046 push u — MELISE COLEMAN —

Orange Locals, Wayne Hill and Tim Eslick along with their team mates on ‘team Cobb,’ are putting their triceps to the test and taking part in the 21- day Push-Up Challenge raising funds for Headspace Orange. The challenge is a unique way to engage people in mental health combining physical health and connection. Both Wayne and Tim have lost loved ones to suicide, so is indeed an initiative close to their hearts. Wayne explained, “My son Jackson showed me a post put up by Orange High School as they participated in the challenge and I thought it would be a good way for us to also raise some awareness around mental health and remember our loved ones in the process. I started sending messages out to friends and family to join team Cobb (a team of 18 people) and Tim was one of the members to jump on board straight away.”

“It was a no brainer,” said Tim. “It was touching and pretty raw and so I knew it was something to get around.” With a different push-up total each day, the total represents a number associated with mental health. For example, 45 push-ups to recognise the percentage of Australians who will experience a mental health condition over their lifetime. With Tim using his social media platform to spread awareness he mentioned he was astounded by the love and support he has received. “Everyone is so supportive, they share the post and really start a conversation. I’ve found that along with the push-ups, sharing the reasoning for the numbers each day and what they mean, it’s a bit of an eye opener for a lot of people out there.” “I correlate it back to mental wellbeing and mental toughness, for me to preach what I am saying I should be able to follow my own advice. I’ve set out to achieve something so I will achieve it to the best of my ability.” 18 days in and the boys admit some days they feel the pinch.

“I just have to think about the reason I’m doing it,” said Wayne, “you may feel like it’s a struggle to do one more push up but it doesn’t compare to the struggle that some people are going through with mental ill health. A push up isn’t a struggle at all really. “I’ve researched and read quite a lot about mental health over the past three years, and learning about positive mental wellbeing and then to be able to help people that are struggling. “Those statistics that we are sharing, if we weren’t doing it and talking about it, even our close friends wouldn’t know about it. So, to know you are passing the knowledge on, it’s amazing to think you could help someone that should have that conversation.” The challenge will finish on May 31. Team Cobb smashed their goal of $2,000 in just six days, in doing that they have made a new target of $5,000. Go team Cobb!

COUNCIL AT WORK Council launches new ‘COVID-19 Rebound Group’

w Meetings

Orange City Council is launching a new COVID-19 Rebound Group to help the city recover from the economic impact of the current pandemic.

Council to ask for community views on return of ‘bulky waste’ collection Orange residents will be asked what they think about the reintroduction of a city-wide bulky waste collection. The latest Orange City Council meeting decided to put the draft annual budget on display for community comment. The draft budget includes the re-introduction of a city-wide bulky waste collection, paid for by an extra waste charge on rate-payers. Under the proposal every rate-payer would be charged an extra annual waste fee of $11.35 for annual bulky-waste collection, whether they use the service or not. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd believes there will be support for a bulky-waste collection. “Since the bulky-waste collections were discontinued a number of years back, there’s been consistent calls from sections of the community for them to return. Deputy Mayor, Cr Sam Romano has been very passionate about this issue, and I’m pleased it’s back on the agenda again.” Cr Reg Kidd said. “I think the collections can be organised so that more residents will make use of them.” Orange City Council Finance Committee chair Cr Jeff Whitton said an across-the-board charge, shares the cost across the whole community. “While a ‘userpays’ charge is only paid by people who use the service, it’s important to remember that some members of our community can’t afford this option,” Cr Jeff Whitton said. “An across-theboard charge, paid by every ratepayer, can be much lower. The important thing now is for residents to tell the council what they think about this idea, by visiting the YourSay Orange site and completing a simple online survey.” An online discussion and survey will ask community members which of a number of options they prefer. The results from the online engagement would then be considered by the Council.

The COVID-19 Rebound Group will be chaired by Orange City Council’s CEO Dave Waddell. Mr Waddell said that the time is right for the community to prepare to rebuild. “The COVID-19 crisis has taken a toll on all Australians, specifically those in the business sector,” David Waddell said. “Businesses of all kinds have experienced closures, loss of customers, and in extreme cases temporary total loss of income. Orange City Council sees now as the perfect time to work closely with the community and those businesses who have been directly affected by the crisis to work out a way forward, ensuring businesses themselves get a say in how that plan may look.” Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said he is looking forward to hearing more from the community about how they have been impacted and how Council can assist with making sure town recovers as soon as possible. “These last few months have most likely been the worst ever for a lot of our local businesses and community members,” Cr Reg Kidd said. “Everything is still very uncertain, but as government restrictions slowly continue to ease it is our chance to get in early and work out where the damage is done so once the country begins to get back to the new normal, Orange is ready and waiting to do the same.” The new group is designed to be a steering committee that will take advice from pre-existing committees such as Council’s Employment and Development Committee and other community members, following advice from the State and Federal governments.

MAY 28 — JUNE 3 , 2020

Community leaders come together to launch a new steering group to help the Orange economy recover from the economic impact of COVID-19. Pictured (l. to r.) are Mayor Reg Kidd, CSU’s Julia Andrews, Cr Tony Mileto and Council CEO David Waddell.

Invitations for the ‘COVID-19 Rebound Group’ will be issued next week to local businesses and community members and a core group will then be formed. Orange City Council’s Employment and Economic Development Policy Committee chair Cr Tony Mileto said this group is a good example of community leadership, putting those directly affected by the crisis at the forefront of how the recovery will be planned.

• The last Orange City Council meeting (19 May) resolved to exhibit the Health and Innovation Precinct Plan that covers the land at Bloomfield around the Orange Health Service. The masterplan will provide the basis for how the precinct could be developed. • Council also resolved to place on exhibition the The Springs; an Aboriginal and nonAboriginal Fringe Camp located in South Orange – Conservation Management Plans and Future Directions Paper.

“As we begin to receive membership acceptances and the Rebound Group begins to form we will start to get a real understanding of how we need to go about things moving forward,” Cr Tony Mileto said. “Although the group may only be in action for a number of months, this is the time for us to start working on a plan.”

Steady river flows sustain Orange’s water storage Consistently high flows in the Macquarie River have kept the Macquarie to Orange pipeline pumps flowing, gradually building Orange’s water storage levels. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said he was delighted to see the latest analysis of Orange’s water outlook. “The pipeline pumps were turned on in mid-February after some good widespread falls of rain,” Cr Reg Kidd said. “At the time we were hoping they would keep running for a week or two. Now, three months later in mid-May, I am over the moon that they are still running. It all comes down to the NSW Water Minister making the decision to let us turn on the pumps at the lower triggerpoint of 38 megalitres per day, instead of the previous 119. In those three months we’ve been able to pump every day with the flow in the river always above that point. In that same period there's been 15 days when we’ve been below the old trigger point. We’ve pumped around 800 megalitres from the Macquarie into Suma Park, and that’s only taken a tiny fraction of the water as it made its way to Burrendong dam. In the same period there‘s only been 183 megalitres from natural run-off into the dam from Summer Hill Creek. Since the start of May stormwater harvesting has added 42 megalitres to our storage,” Mr Kidd said.

BRIEFS

Mayor Reg Kidd and Infrastructure Committee chair, Cr Jeff Whitton check the flow from the Summer Hill Creek into Suma Park Dam.

After reviewing the latest analysis of storage levels and water consumption, Orange City Council’s water managers have further pushed back the date when Level 6 restrictions could begin. “Based on the conservative assumption that there are no further flows from any source into Suma Park, we’re now in the position where we can push back the start of Level 6 water restrictions until November 6,” Cr Reg Kidd said.

HARD TIMES WE ARE IN MANY WAYS FIGHTING A WAR. A WAR AGAINST THE VIRUS. AND, AS IN THE 1940S, IT IS A WORLD WAR. BUT, FORTUNATELY, IN THIS WAR OUR HOUSES ARE SAFE REFUGES.

We are not, as many of us did last summer, having to defend our houses against raging bushfires. And most of us are lucky enough to have access to adequate food, warmth and entertainment to help us through our isolation. But there is yet another virulent weapon Mother Nature can throw at us and that is Flood! As with pandemic and fire, flood can devastate communities and impact heavily on the economy. In spite of this, we have continued to build on flood plains and fertile soil which lie directly in the path of destructive overflows. Every few years floods have washed away our infrastructure and destroyed livelihoods. One such event overwhelmed the western town of Nyngan in 1990 and saw an amazing rescue effort in which almost an entire community was evacuated without any loss of life but with enormous emotional effect on almost everyone involved. As Orange dentist, Dr Tim McAnulty who was practising in the town at the time, said “It was declared to be a once in seven hundredyear event.” “Heavy rain had been falling over a period of three weeks to the south-east in an area called the Mulla Cowl and, as the water wasn’t coming down the Bogan River, it was hard to know how much more would reach the town. In that flat plain country, a levy bank was needed so it was all hands on deck to build it. “It held for four or five days until it breeched on 23rd April. “The townspeople assembled on the slightly higher ground at the railway station and the

day unfolded with the largest population evacuation since the Vietnam war in 1975. Sixteen helicopters ferried stranded townspeople from the station to the road from where they were taken to Dubbo by bus.” They were billeted there for weeks, with few belongings and with no idea of how their homes were surviving. Ann Cummings has her own memories of this catastrophe. “Despite the seriousness of this event and the publicity it received, I really didn’t take it in until some time later as my family was going through its own crisis on our property. “The country along the river had been under water for a while and it was some time since we had seen my parents who lived right on the riverbank about thirty-five miles up-stream from Nyngan. “They were surrounded by water but the levee bank around the house seemed to be holding and my father had made arrangements for someone to come out from Tottenham with a boat to take them to safety. “We weren’t much use as we were separated from them by fourteen miles of water, although the road to Tottenham was still open. “At four o’clock that morning my parents woke up to find nearly eighteen inches of water through the house with more coming. Part of the levee bank had been washed away. “The telephone wasn’t working but they had a two-way radio and Mum kept calling until one of the neighbours heard her. This neighbour contacted other neighbours who had a waterskiing boat and they made emergency plans for a rescue. “Someone let us know but there was nothing

we could do except, in my case, to pace the kitchen floor waiting for word that they were OK.

my sister and other family members who, although they were worried, they had no idea how serious it could have been.”

“While Mum was waiting for the rescuers she made her own preparations. Dad was recovering from a serious illness so she made him sit in a chair, wrapped in blankets. Meanwhile, she literally floated around the house, rescuing what she could to put it out of the reach of the water.

Thank goodness for neighbours! But the most frightening part of the flood was still to come.

“They had both been in floods before -but nothing like this. She said later that one of the most frightening parts was when the water kept rising in the kitchen and the fridges and gas-stove started to float.

“Dad was worried about his sheep, so my husband and son set off for Tottenham by a back road as the water was too deep along the usual route we took. There, with the help of friends who had a small plane, they were able to see that the sheep were on higher ground. A friend in Tottenham offered them a house and they settled there for the foreseeable future.” After the water receded the scene was heartbreaking and there was an enormous amount of cleaning up done by family and friends. They pulled up floor coverings, threw out destroyed furniture, washed walls and windows and cleaned out cupboards.

“Luckily the house was wired in two sections. The cut-out switch for everything in the lower half was tripped when the water came in, so the only live circuit was above the water line. ...the day unfolded

There was also a huge amount of work to be done by the citizens of Nyngan and everyone was involved. Friends and neighbours all pitched in to help and the whole process took many months of backbreaking work to get the town back to where it was before the flood.

Luckily, they were “The people of Cobar were amazing,” said rescued before it reached that level.

Margaret called me to let me know that they were safe and I could stop pacing. I called

Words of Wisdom ~ As told to Melise Coleman ST FRANCIS AGED CARE RESIDENT, RACHAEL SELMES. ~ AGE: 54

WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Orange and I’ve lived here all my life.

Aunty’s flower girl. I was only about five years old, I wore a beautiful aqua dress. I walked down the aisle in the church and I yelled out to Mum (I was wearing lace stockings) ‘Mum look at my stockings!’ she cracked up laughing.

WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON THAT YOU’VE LEARNT IN LIFE? I’ve always been a friendly person, I get along with everyone, that’s the way to be I think. WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY? My boyfriend. WHAT’S THE WEIRDEST TREND THAT YOU REMEMBER GROWING UP? The haircuts I have to say! I used to get a perm and that was the norm back then, I still get my perms, I stuck with the trend. *laughs* WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST JOB? I worked at the Orange Vet Hospital doing stable work. I absolutely loved horses so I loved that job. WHAT DID YOU GET UP TO WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG? I used to Show ride, my three brothers were into motorbikes. My Grandfather bought me my first pony so I was completely different. I fell in love with them instantly. HOW DID YOU GO AT SCHOOL? I loved school, my favourite subject was cooking. I cooked at home when Mum was at work, I’d cook for my three brothers and my Dad. I think I enjoyed cooking Chinese the most, the boys loved their fried rice in our family. *laughs* WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE MEMORY? Being my

HOW HAS COVID-19 AFFECTED YOUR LIFE? Like everyone else I haven’t been able to see my friends, I’ve been very lucky that my Mum is also here so I get to see her and spend time with her every day. We sit in the lounge room and play games together and have a chat. WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF? Myself when I get into my own place. I’ve been in here for three years and I’ve been doing rehab every day, I’m running on it now so I’m getting closer. WHAT DO YOU GET UP TO NOW? I love Scrapbooking, bead making, ceramics, bingo, word games and knitting, I’ve got an ongoing scarf that’s about a metre long so far. *laughs* I said to Mum this morning, I think I’m going to stop now, she said bring the bloody thing up and I’ll cast it off,*laughs* Mum was the one who taught me to knit, I was primary school age, all of us learnt. If I made a mistake Mum would always pull it apart and fix it for me.

It always a blessing to learn the wisdom from elderly people.” — Lailah Gifty Akita

From Sea

John and Allison Brennan

Change — JONATHAN ROE —

“I’ve just always loved Orange,” says Allison Brennan, principal of the newly opened agency Orange Property Management Plus. “As a kid growing up in Wellington, we used to come here on weekends and come for camps out at Lake Canobolas, so I’ve always had a fondness for Orange.” In fact, 16 years ago when Allison and husband John were looking to make a move from their home in Dubbo, Orange was actually on the top of Allison’s list. In the end it was Port Macquarie that became the Brennan’s new home, but still the country called. “We loved bringing up our children on the coast. We had the whole coastal lifestyle, we lived a couple of blocks from the beach, but I was born and bred in Wellington and I missed the country… and now here we are!” Allison, John and their seven-year-old son relocated to Orange two years ago, with

Jessica Brennan

John returning to work in the social welfare field and Allison, after 22 years in real estate, planning on a quieter life at home. “Moving here we didn’t really have any aspirations of starting up another business. In Port Macquarie we’d established our own property management business, but moving back here was going to be an entirely different season altogether for us… it didn’t eventuate,” said Allison. It was a business for sale that caught the eye of John and Allison. That opportunity was not to be, but it did get the couple thinking. “Once we had looked into the other business here, it reignited our interest and we had the taste for it,” said Allison. “We looked around and we could see a real opportunity for a residential property management service.

“Just look at the growth in Orange,” said John. “The growth here at the moment is phenomenal with the new estates, look at North Orange. We could see the potential here.” The Brennan’s signed the lease on their Anson Street offices in January and were just ready to open the doors when everything went into lockdown. “It has been a long haul,” said Allison “And obviously the property market has been impacted quite drastically, especially property management, so we just took that time to work on our website, on our procedures, our systems, basically our infrastructure and stay up to date with the ever-changing laws. It’s a minefield out there and now, more than ever, landlords

and tenants alike need to be guided by a specialist in property management.” Joining Allison and John on the Orange property Management Plus team is their daughter Jessica, who has herself made a career in property management in Melbourne and agencies on the coast. “We’re the principals of this agency, I’m a licenced real estate agent with 22 years under my belt, John has 16 and Jessica, she basically grew up on property management,” said Allison. “And I think that’s what tenants and landlords like when they come in,” said John. “We’re a family run business and you are dealing with the principals. You are not just a number or an email, it is that personalised service.”

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT CADIA

NEWCREST SUPPORTS AUSTRALIAN INNOVATION TO DEVELOP LOW COST LOCALLY MADE VENTILATORS NEWCREST HAS JOINED THE EFFORT TO BOOST AUSTRALIAN MANUFACTURING AND TACKLE COVID-19, BY CONTRIBUTING $200,000 TO THE PRODUCTION OF A NEW LOW-COST AUSTRALIAN-MADE VENTILATOR. The OzVader ventilator prototype, which has been developed by Australian company Olitek, is in the final stages of performance and validation testing. Olitek is seeking Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) exemption to manufacture and supply the ventilator.

Aboriginal Family Guides, Tania Dalzell and Kellie Lane with Cadia’s Alison Farrar.

TECHNOLOGY DONATION HITS THE SPOT Cadia recently donated a number of refurbished laptops and tablets to CentaCare’s DOTPOINT Family Mentoring program, supporting Aboriginal families in Orange. The tablets will be used by the Homework Club and playgroups, while the laptops will be loaned to disadvantaged families to provide much needed technological assistance. These technology devices were recently upgraded at Cadia and could be provided at a time when many local families have been impacted by COVID-19. #cadiacares

Riddles!

Q. Samuel was out for a walk when it started to rain. He did not have an umbrella and he wasn’t wearing a hat. His clothes were soaked, yet not a single hair on his head got wet. How could this happen?

Newcrest’s financial contribution to OzVader will be used to procure long lead items needed to bring the unique, low-cost ventilator into production faster once the TGA exemption has been granted. Newcrest CEO and Managing Director Sandeep Biswas said that securing competitively priced and effective medical equipment to treat severe respiratory issues caused by COVID-19 was a major challenge around the world. “This is a great example of Australian innovation. Newcrest is excited to support this effort which brings together the skills, capabilities and resources of a range of partners to meet a global need that can make a real difference.” Mr Biswas said. This initiative is part of Newcrest’s ongoing support for communities impacted by COVID-19 as announced in its $20 million Community Support Fund. The fund supports a variety of initiatives already underway including the contribution towards the development of COVID-19 vaccine.

s businesses began adapting to the way of life Covid-19 was shaping, many Lifeline centres, including our Orange centre, were faced with dilemma. It’s with thanks to an incredible gesture from Newcrest Mining Cadia Valley Operations that will see crisis support workers return to their pivotal roles. CEO Lifeline Central West, Stephanie Robinson explained, “Crisis Supporter numbers sharply decreased due to restrictions around social distancing and fears around volunteer safety in centres, many were not set up to accommodate legislated requirements and volunteers were falling into high risk categories. Add to this, the sharp increase in calls and it could have been what I call a second wave of the disaster with serious concerns for people’s mental health and well-being. Never before in Lifeline’s 57-year history had there been such a demand for our services. Many people have felt destabilised and as a result are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, fearful and many are anxious. Duty of Care and to both our Crisis Supporters and helpseekers meant that we had to make significant adjustments to the way we operated.” As the Orange Lifeline Centre operates

CADIA SUPPORTS ORANGE’S LIFELINE — MELISE COLEMAN — solely on corporate and community support/ fundraising, it was thanks to a partnership with Newcrest Mining Cadia Valley operations (COVID-19 Community Support Fund) that Lifeline Orange developed a way to provide extra measures in supporting everyone’s health and safety, by purchasing individual telephony headsets as well as having strict health and hygiene regulations. Did you know it actually costs around $4,000

to train a volunteer? Cadia were also involved in subsidising Lifeline’s ‘Fast Track program’ which will cover part of the training costs and in turn will see volunteer’s numbers increase. This has attracted 33 new Crisis supporters to the team. The training program will use a combination of online learning methods and is expected to take four weeks instead of 14. “We looked at what we could do as a matter

of urgency for both now and the future as we know the aftermath of the pandemic will cause substantial impacts for the unforeseeable future. We also know the challenges of drought and other economic challenges. Lifeline Central West is committed supporting our community on that road to recovery.” Cadia Manager for Health, Safety, Environment & Social Responsibility, Merrilyn Tinsley said, “I feel quite humbled when I hear about the behind the scenes and what goes on here at Lifeline Orange, I didn’t realise the extent they go to in helping the community on the ground as well. When that application came through for assistance, it felt so right for us to do our bit. We are a part of the community and it could be our people that need the assistance. “Lifeline provides a vital service to the community and we are pleased to support the ongoing work of the volunteers to continue meeting the increasing demand for Lifeline’s services.” Stephanie added, “We cannot thank Cadia enough, they have been very encouraging from the beginning. I am never disappointed in our community and their support as they know that in turn we will be there to support them in their times of need.” Lifeline 13 11 14

As part of Lifeline’s 13 11 14 National Crisis Line which operates 24/7 the team were taking, at the end of 2019 just over 2200 calls per day. The bushfire crisis saw a steady incline in calls and in the past month they have seen calls escalate to an extra 1000 calls a day, with the team now answering a call every 30 seconds, that’s 3200 a day as the impacts of COVID -19 pandemic escalated.

HEADER

We’re all in it together — JONATHAN ROE —

It is something that often surprises visitors to Orange; that local food and wine businesses are just as quick to recommend a competitor’s product as their own. Visit any cellar door and you will be offered tips on where to visit next, restaurants to eat at and more.

MAY 28 — JUNE 3 , 2020

“I’ve said for a long time, the smart people in Orange work together,” said James Sweetapple from Cargo Road Wines “You won’t come to Orange as a tourist if there is only Cargo Road Wines or only Small Acres Cyder. You also need Sweet Sour Salt, Pioneer Brewing, Charred, Ross Hill, Phillip Shaw — you need everybody. You are not just going to go visit a one trick town.” “Yeah, we’ve always been on-recommending each other and sending customers to each other’s cellar doors,” said James Kendell from Small Acres Cyder. “So there has always been a collaboration, the big difference has been how do we bring that online.” Like others in the industry, Cargo Road Wines and Small Acres Cyder have been forced to

turn their attention online to engage with their customers and, hopefully, make a few sales. But from the beginning, James and James set about working together and through their weekly videos they have extended that collaboration to other local producers and restauranteurs like Pioneer Brewing, Origin Chocolate, Sweet Sour Salt and Charred. “We were doing it beforehand, this is just in a different way I guess,” said James Kendell. “Everyone was saying 'get online and do virtual tastings,' which is kind of fun and is great to see, but we also felt that, on the other side of this, we needed to be promoting Orange as a region. If we get people coming back to Orange, James and I will benefit but then everybody benefits… motels, restaurants, pubs, cafes — we are all in the same boat.”

“We’ve got to look big picture,” said James Sweetapple. “It is fantastic to think we’ll get orders straight away from an interview online, but it doesn’t happen. But doing this, people can see these guys are working together and be hopefully we’ll be front of mind when people start travelling again.” And more than just the business side of things, the weekly collaborations have been just as much about looking after each other. “There has been a great mental health aspect to this,” said James Kendell. “I’m now at home by myself, my wife and two children are stuck in the UK. So, to be able to safely, once a week, meet up and discuss not only business, but ask, ‘How are you doing?’ Asking the question has been a very valuable aspect to the whole thing as well… It’s bloody tough for everyone.”

MASS RETURNS TO ST CANICES

BORN: 21/05/2020 WEIGHT: 4240g PARENTS: Simon and Amanda Fragar of Orange SIBLINGS: Alexis Fragar GRANDPARENTS: Rod and Tania Fragar of Orange; Kevin Ryan of Blayney

from June 7, with a catch! Moses’ call of “Let My People Go” has finally been heard by the authorities with St Canices Catholic Church at Millthorpe (pictured) reopening for services on Sunday, June 7. There is a catch, though, with Mass limited to a maximum of 10 parishioners. Those attending — for the first service at least — will also have to book beforehand with the Bathurst Catholic Diocese office. The number is 6331 3066. Church services throughout NSW were banned from early March to limit the possibility of infection among older parishioners from the Coronavirus pandemic that has killed nearly 400,000 people worldwide. Many local diocese have in the interim though been uploading remote church services online for their parishioners.

ALEX’S “PLAGUE DR” MASK A MACABRE SIGN OF THE TIMES

Some encouraging thoughts from Emily Thompson…. It started with coffee. We all read articles from economists telling us that takeaway coffee was ruining us financially. Why, if you spend $3.80 a day on coffee you’ve spent $19 a week. $76 a month. $912ish a year. I felt like an actual adult when I did this, with only fleeting thoughts about the impact it would have on my local coffee shop (did they miss us at Bill’s Beans? Were Ricky, Carlie, Jo and Carter thinking about us too???). Then they started on pay TV. Cancel that subscription and save hundreds a month. Don’t worry about the basketball/cricket/ supercars you no longer get to watch, you can spend your time financial planning. You can even read economy magazines! Except, don’t. Stop reading magazines. Cancel your newspaper subscription. Save the environment and around $30 a month. Stop buying books too. Buy e-books, visit the library. Now let’s address the terrible problem that is avocado. Smashed avo for brunch on Sundays? Complete financial ruin. What to do with all that saved money? Invest it. Buying shares is a solid plan. Top up your super, retire early. Pay extra off your mortgage, build a property portfolio! But then coronavirus hit. I sat in my house that I can’t sell because open homes became illegal, watching reruns of the X-Files using SBS on demand because I cancelled all of my subscriptions, checking my diminishing superannuation fund as I flicked through my company’s daily changes to our OHS policy because I have nothing else to read because I have no books, newspapers or magazines. I suddenly realised I’d given up fun. I’d stopped doing some of my favourite things to save money that disappeared from the stock market in one day. Even worse, there were multiple occasions where I didn’t have time to make coffee before work, or during work, and I’d gone 8 straight hours without caffeine. I WORK WITH CHILDREN. COFFEE IS A NEED. Screw that. Look, I’m not suggesting you burn through your cash with reckless abandon, but don’t forget to enjoy life. I fully intend to stop in at Bill’s Beans for coffee every work day for the rest of my life, and to walk down there to indulge in slow brunches on days off. I highly suggest you rediscover your favourite café too. Subscribe to all the streaming services/pay TV/magazines/ newspapers. After being stuck at home with nobody but your immediate family to talk to I’m going to assume you did this in the first week. Buy all the books. The library closing but Collins Booksellers staying open tells us we were wrong. While the books throughout my house can best be described as “carefully placed, artistic stacks of bound knowledge” and at worst as “an episode of hoarders”, I regret nothing. I still haven’t run out of things to read. If we have learnt anything this year it’s this - support your local businesses, indulge when you can, enjoy your hobbies and make sure your heart is happy. Our future is still uncertain. Plan responsibly for it, but don’t forget to live in the present.

Getting into the true spirit of the lockdown — albeit in a rather macabre fashion — Alex Campbell (pictured) was snapped recently in Summer St wearing a replica of a 17th century “plague doctor” mask. “I bought it online, I just thought it looked cool, particularly for now,” Alex (giving the thumbs-up!) explained. The plague doctor mask is one of the most recognisable symbols of the “Black Death” (bubonic plague) that swept through Asia and Europe regularly up until the 19th century. Plague doctors were European physicians who specialised in treating victims of plagues, the mask was designed to protect the doctor themselves from infection and to prevent their spreading the disease to other patients. The beak-like mask was often filled with aromatic herbs to supposedly shield the wearer from putrid air which was believed to be the cause of the disease.

Sunshine

ORANGE CITY LIFE IS PLEASED TO BE ABLE TO BRING YOU A SERIALISED VERSION OF THE ACCLAIMED NOVELLA, SUNSHINE, FROM MILLTHORPE’S

KIM KELLY

It’s 1921 and the Great War has left in its wake untold tragedy, not only in lives lost but in the guilt of survivors, the deep-set scars of old wounds and the sting of redoubled bigotries. In the tiny hamlet of Sunshine, on the far-flung desert’s edge, three very different ex-servicemen – Jack Bell, an Aboriginal horseman, Snow McGlynn, a laconic, curmudgeonly farmer, and Art Lovelee, an eccentric engineer – find themselves sharing a finger of farmland along the Darling River, and not much else. That is, until Art’s wife Grace, a battle-hardened nurse, gets to work on them all with her no-nonsense wisdom. Told with Kim Kelly’s inimitable with and warmth, Sunshine is a very Australian tale of home, hope and healing, of the power of growing life and love, and discovering that we are each other’s greatest gifts.

Stave IX

GRACE

The storms dried up as summer arrived in Sunshine, the air quickly set to crisp bake, the meadow grasses parched to palest gold, and the west horizon was permanently blurred in the uprush of every last drop of moisture from the land. That is, except wherever irrigation pipes were laid. Patches and stripes of wildly vivid green clashed against the red earth, so that every time Grace Lovelee looked out of her kitchen window onto her garden she just about shouted: ‘Christmas!’ And every time she reaffirmed her decision, too, that there was no chance in hell that she’d be putting on a turkey for the day itself, or lighting a fire of any sort. As it was, with two days left until Christmas, she was lighting the copper in the laundry for one last wash of sheets and other essentials. The truly wonderful thing about this heat, though, was that the sheets dried almost as soon as they were hung – and the smell, the sweet, toasty smell of fresh linen on the bed, well, she’d never known anything like it. Such a delight, it was, to slide into those sheets of evening; they were in need of further laundering almost daily, too, as she beckoned her husband to join her. Oh! Her breasts seemed to swell at the

very thought of him: if he were here in the laundry with her, instead of being down at the nursery with Jack Bell, playing with his sprinkler system, she’d want him again right now. They’d been enjoying so much of each other, she wondered if he was edging towards that mood – Naughty Boy – an insatiable want of ecstasy that was almost always a prelude to a crash. As she scrubbed at their pillowcases now, she attempted to promise herself to try to calm things down, to somehow steer his desires into more tranquil waters, but she didn’t know how. It seemed she couldn’t say no to him any more than he could to her; perhaps they were held to each other in some kind of folie à deux. ‘Are we both mad?’ she asked the soap, rhetorically, because she knew the answer to that. She thought she might have known the answer of answers to her increased appetite for Art, too, and the actual enlargement of her breasts, but she daren’t let her wishes botch it up should it be true this time. And that all only brought a flush of guilt and fear: should she be letting him inside her at all if a child now lived there? She reached across to the tap above the concrete sink, to splash her face with cold water, but the water in the tap was already tepid, though it was only about seven o’clock, and she shouldn’t be wasting the tank water on such nonsense anyway. Of course it was unlikely they’d run out of water altogether, being so close to the river, but she didn’t fancy the prospect of the taps running dry, of having to pump water from the depths of the Darling, and boil it before every sip. Another strange fear hurtled through her:

what was she doing here? This place, so alien to her, and she such an alien in it: the thought struck her seldom, but when it did, it struck hard. What would her parents make of her circumstances today? Their idea of faraway was Paris, where they’d honeymooned thirty years ago and hadn’t returned since. They’d barely ever left the South of England – they’d never needed to, so ensconced were they in the middle of the middle class there. Her mother had never even stood at a copper before, doing her own washing. Australia, her mother had sighed, all concern and scarce belief as they’d said goodbye at the ship, as if she and Art were headed for some place of dragons and sea monsters that lay beyond the Peloponnese. The things we do for love, Mother had clicked her tongue, reaching into her pocket for her handkerchief. It wasn’t only love that had brought Grace here, though, was it; it was war. She had washed worse than her own stained sheets; there were the general drudgeries of nursing, of course, things about being human we’d all rather not know about, but there was one boy, a boy from Lancashire, who couldn’t have been more than seventeen or eighteen, whose eyes she had to wash of chlorine, from an attack of poison gas – from the green cloud, from the devil’s very breath that swept across Flanders Fields. That boy’s scream was one of the most chilling she’d ever heard and ever would: a tortured rasp as the chemical had burned his lungs and throat; he died several long hours later. Must get these cases irrigated quicker, said the medical officer in charge of that casualty station, as

though it were any ordinary occurrence. That’s what war does: it changes one’s understanding of normal, and it can never be changed back again. The deepest and darkest fear scored her: had it all made her somehow infertile? Were her feelings of fullness, her guesses at pregnancy merely phantoms of wanting which would never be fulfilled? She was almost twenty-nine – was she getting too old now to conceive? At that moment, some angel of mischief sent her a sign to shake her from these grim meanderings: a great groan, like the sound of giant farting, erupted outside the laundry door. She leant across to see: a camel. An enormous camel. In her garden. And – ‘Oh dear Lord!’ – it was munching into her tomatoes. Munching into her vineripened plans for Christmas dinner. ‘Shoo!’ She ran out into the morning, brandishing her washing prod. ‘Shoo! Go away!’ The camel only kept on chewing, unperturbed, nosing through the thick leafy stalks for the juiciest ones, pushing over the stakes as it went. ‘Stop it!’ Grace gave it a whack on the side, but to no avail. ‘Bleuuurrrggkkk,’ it only spat, glaring at her sideways, barely, as if to say: ‘You go away – can’t you see I’m busy?’ Can’t you see I want to make a tray of stuffed tomatoes? With a filling of smoked ham and rice. ‘Oh please.’ She could only stand there with her hands on her hips and watch – until it had satisfied itself and, with another forceful groan, slowly loped away, down towards the river, no doubt to cleanse its palate. ‘Well …’ Grace looked over the damage: it wasn’t too bad, really – only one stake collapsed and ravaged. And then she realised the camel might not be going to drink at the river at all – but might be on its way to Art’s young rockmelons and honeydew. ‘No!’ She ran across the yard shouting. Art was so happy with the progress of his melons, all planted out in a little quarter-acre patch, all flowering – she couldn’t bear the thought of his disappointment should they be trampled and gobbled before they could fruit. The melons were fenced, of course, but oh the fence was too low to keep out a camel. ‘No!’ She needn’t have worried, though, for there was Jack, expertly clapping at the animal,

warding it off and then chasing it away, his own strides loping and sure, before walking back to Art. She watched the two men talking for a while, under the colonnade where the young citrus were to go, when they arrived, sometime today, so it was hoped. Theirs was such an easy relationship, she could have watched them all day, one passing a length of iron pipe to the other. Easy, except that poor Jack seemed to have the rough end of everything. He still camped on the river, said that was his home and his choice, but Grace wasn’t so sure about that. He said he was happy: he was diddling the system earning above-rates wages from both Art and that ‘cranky a--- McGlynn’ but only claiming the latter so the Protection Board of Aborigines couldn’t withhold all his money. Grace tried to imagine what it might be like to have the government automatically confiscate your pay; but she couldn’t imagine that life. Jack Bell needed McGlynn’s permission just to go into town – or risk arrest. The man was a prisoner as it was – and why? Only because he was an Aborigine: classified as fauna. An animal – actually. Wildlife. Try as she might, Grace could not see how any adult, educated human being could consider this a reasonable state of affairs. Not even the Welsh, at home, were treated with such contempt – and most certainly not of a kind enshrined within acts of parliament. Art had told her: ‘You have to understand, it’s all very sensitive – the tribes are dying out, all their ancestral lands have been taken up, and the government doesn’t want a fuss about any of it.’ A fuss, I’ll say, thought Grace, not understanding much of this at all, but knowing that if she walked in Jack Bell’s shoes, in his bare feet, she’d be inclined to make something of a fuss about it. She knew enough to realise, though, that whatever she might say, someone might listen to it, and that this wasn’t the case for Jack. Even still, she had that queasy, sinking feeling, that if she wrote any letter on his behalf, it would be a letter that mysteriously got lost – like the letters she’d written to the British Medical Association during the war, expressing concern at the absence of demonstrative compassion shown to patients suffering nervous shock. What would she know? She was just a nurse, just one woman, rescuer of hundreds, put the kettle on. But for all she didn’t know, it sounded to her that, in this instance, the government wanted things on the hush-hush – why else would you want to lock away unarmed and largely unlettered people? What had Australia really

done to them? To Jack. How she wanted to do something for him, something meaningful and immediate, something useful, but she just didn’t know what that might be. He wouldn’t even come into their house for a meal. Whether it was that he preferred to keep his own company, or that he didn’t want to be beholden to a boss he could never fully trust, she couldn’t possibly know; perhaps it was only the load of his hurt, too heavy and too wide to fit through the door. Perhaps the redgums at the river were what he needed more than anything else at this time. They were shouting love and life and Christmas in a pageant all their own, and she smiled looking at them now, their broad sprawling canopies framing Jack and Art and all their work. Their flowers were extraordinarily gorgeous: dainty sprays of white fringing, each thread tipped with gold, fanning around lime centres shaped like elves’ caps. From this distance they made the trees appear frosted, as though they’d had a little overnight snow. She walked that feather-headed notion back around towards the laundry, to finish her washing, and as she did, she bent to pick up what she thought was a stray piece of ribbon from one of her pairs of knickers, fallen on the ground: she’d thought it was a little decorative bow come loose, a little blue bow. But it was a daisy, a little blue daisy, sitting in a sparse and thirsty-looking clump of grass. She crouched down to peer at it: a baby-blue wheel, so stark, so fabulous, here upon the rich red timeless soil; and such a surprise: she reminded herself all joy was surprising, never coming as dreamed or planned. The little bloom brought to mind a poem, a whisper of long ago, and not so long ago, when Germans weren’t enemies but merely annoyingly competitive cousins – a tiny poem by Goethe they’d been required to translate at school. It had been about such a small bright flower, which the poet resisted plucking for its beauty; instead, he scooped it up roots and all and transplanted it into his own garden to bloom evermore. Must I be picked to die? she’d struggled over the flower’s plea to remain unpicked; and here it was again fluttering on the periphery of her memory like the outstretched tip of Death’s black wing. Stop it, she stared for a sliver of a second into its featureless dead black face, before she snatched it from her vision and trod it into the ground: You will go away.

author, certain forces would cut off my hands and tear out my tongue so that I might never speak of them by any means.

Back inside the little tin-walled outbuilding, steamy dim with the copper now boiled, she went straight to the cupboard for her soap flakes, to add them to the water, but after groping around in the depths, she couldn’t find them. ‘Oh, Art …’ she immediately supposed he’d pinched them for some genius scheme. She thought she’d have one last grope about before cursing him, though, and as she did, her fingertips brushed the top of what might have been a box, shoved right to the back. Grasping it, she knew it wasn’t a box: it was a book. Out it came with a puff of peach-pink, powdery dust. So different the dust was here, she noted for the umpteenth time, so clean-smelling, compared to the mildewy mustiness of English dust. And so much of it – always gathering in places it seemed impossible dust should be, too, like the very depths of drawers and cupboards. It completely covered the leather-bound volume in her hand. She brushed it off the front cover, wondering what book it might be, imagining she would find Gulliver’s Travels or Robinson Crusoe, but she found no title on it, nor on the spine. What a pretty shade of violet the leather was stained, she thought, giving a sweeping touch to the faded gilt embossing of scrolls and fleur-de-lis that bordered the cover, before she opened it, to see, in generously looping script, that this was:

The main force I refer to shall appear in these pages as ‘The Master’. We all know who he is – Lord of my Realm and possibly the worst reaches of Hell, too.

The Journal of Miss Zelma Katherine Bell 1889 Bell? Grace looked into the pink motes swirling and glistening on the steam, as if they held an answer or a glimpse of the very mystery of life itself. She turned the page, and perhaps they did:

I might yet be only sixteen years of age, but I have many things to say. My world is seemingly small, out here at Kiriella, with the ratio of sheep to men being somewhere near one million to one, but I see the forces that shape the whole world – all of them – right here in this house. These thoughts I must write in secret, for if I should be found out as their

I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. He fills me with such confusion he has me believing my thoughts are those that are evil. He robs me of my words and I must fight him for them – fight him here in these pages as I can nowhere else. I shall write it all down, write it into the light, for in light there is

Grace turned the page, but there was nothing there. She turned and turned the pages throughout: nothing and nothing and nothing. Fear prickled: had this girl been found out? Had she been forced to hide this book before it was even begun? And then not been able to retrieve it, perhaps. Or had she more simply bored herself with her own adolescent hyperbole? How frustratingly intriguing the pieces we leave behind can be, Grace thought. Men with little to say fill up whole libraries with their words, and this young woman with worlds to say is afforded barely one page in a laundry cupboard. There’s the lie of history, isn’t it. Was Zelma Bell a fearful yet defiant wife? A cruelly abused daughter? A highborn debutante fallen to the position of scullery maid, outcast to outback sheep station? Grace would never know. She flicked through the pages one more time, though, thinking how strange and strangely beautiful it is that we are able to affect one another with such wonderings so quickly and fully, when out of the back cover slid a photograph: another image of the homestead, Kiriella, this house, but standing out the front of it were two young women, one wearing the fashionable tight waist and high collar of last century’s end, and the other in plainer dress, working clothes, almost certainly a servant, and a native one, so said her dark skin. They seemed about the same age, and there was something lovely about their pairing, as though they were about to wave at the photographer. Grace turned the picture over, hoping for a note on the back, and there was:

Zelma (me) and Alice No date, but it must have been around the same time as the journal, judging by those clothes. How curious …

Bell … Was there somehow a connection between this Zelma Bell, Jack Bell and Alice? Grace felt the weight of a million words unwritten and unsaid in her question. And then she heard the truck honk its horn up the road. Their oranges and lemons were here; McGlynn’s grapefruits, too. She had better get this washing done in a hurry now; it would be a busy afternoon.
