THIS WEEK’S COVER

The Easter weather was extra kind to our area and as a result there were visitors aplenty. I’m guessing it would have been a bumper trading time for many businesses and not just those in hospitality. How good is that?

It was sad to see Café Latte suffer fire damage last week and the disruption it caused to retailers and the public along our main street. Owners Aaron and Emma Wright are a fine young couple and much loved by those who know them, their business too was very popular, our hearts go out to them and others affected by the fire at this time. Let’s hope they can all get everything sorted and back to business with minimal problems.

Life words of encouragement

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children… to leave the world a better place… to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded.” – RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Regular readers will also be aware that Café Latte sponsors our Lucky Birthday competition each week and provides the prize of a $20 Gift Voucher to be spent at their café. We’ll keep this going while they regroup but until they’re back up and running, we’ll give lucky winners $20 cash to spend at a coffee shop of their choice or as they wish. Of course, this may not make a lot of commercial sense, but we’d just like to encourage Aaron and Emma by keeping their name in front of people through OC Life each week.

Coo-ee

t i r e M th i w h c r a M -A — MELISE COLEMAN —

Pieter Lindhout describes his heritage as “proudly-steeped in the area of service.” Going back to the early part of the 20th century, Pieter had three great uncles serving in World War I. “This led to my interest in Australian history (particularly military) where I learned about an amazing story called the Coo-ee March,” said Pieter. As the story goes, in October 1915, about a year into World War I. A group of locals in Gilgandra were very keen to enlist. So, they decided to all walk together from Gilgandra, they left on October 15 and over 33 days, they walked 520km. They arrived in Orange and were 120-men strong by that time, they even enlisted another 20 from Orange, the men finished their trek in Martin Place with 263 volunteers. Inspired by the story of the Coo-ee March, and in honour of raising funds and awareness for something that is also close to him, Pieter decided to walk the original 520km Coo-ee March route solo, departing Gilgandra in mid-March and aims to arrive in Martin Place for the Dawn Service on April 25. “My walk is about commemorating this patriotic and noble call-to-arms and is a tribute to the men who answered the call of 'Coo-ee! Come and join us,' and fell into line in the towns and villages along the route of the 320 miles (520km) march, that left Gilgandra with 25-men and arrived in Martin Place, Sydney with 263 recruits. It was day 10 when I spoke with Pieter. “Coming from Wellington to Orange was the tricky bit, it’s 100km via Stuart Town, Mumbil, Euchareena and Mullion Creek, and there’s nowhere to stay.” Mullion Creek Public

School showed Pieter some real country hospitality, offering their library as a space for him to sleep overnight. “The quid pro quo was the next morning I had half an hour with the kids. I talked to them about the Coo-ee March and what happened and how the volunteers came through their town, and we had questions... it was a bit of a treat,” said Pieter. “The kindness of strangers has been amazing, people stop-me as I’m walking to ask if they can help me, giving me directions, even banana bread, people are awesome!” Peter exclaimed. As stated before, this march is for more than just ‘the March’. Along the way, Pieter is raising awareness and funding for mental health issues in our youth. “A couple of years ago, I wrote a book ‘Love in the Valley of Death’ set around World War I and featured the amazing sacrifices of my great uncles, Jack and Will Jensen and Sydney Campbell who fought at Gallipoli and the Western Front and returned home with debilitating Post-Traumatic Stress syndrome,” said Pieter. “This was a crippling, misunderstood and largely unrecognised condition which defined their post-war lives. What has been heartening over the last 100 years, is how awareness of this and many other mental health conditions has leapt forward. There as so many great agencies and not-for-profits who are leading the charge here. “So, for my walk, I’m asking supporters to consider

helping a cause that’s close to my heart. Its Batyr, a for-purpose, preventative mental health organisation, created and driven by young people, for young people. They operate in schools and universities throughout regional and urban NSW. “What I did not know was that, of every 30 students in Australia, seven will be dealing with a mental health issue, yet only two will reach out for support, leaving five suffering in silence. Sadly, most young people dealing with mental health issues do not reach out for help, largely due to stigma.” If you are able to support, your donation will go a long way to help Batyr reach more young Australians through their engaging programs where at-risk youth participate in workshops with relatable peers who have walked in their shoes and have the empathy to connect and the stories to provide hope for those who are vulnerable and at risk. “Any way that I can fly the flag for youth, whilst saying if you’re able to support the prevention of youth suicide, please help. My key messages are ‘Its ok to not be ok’, and reach out, because people want to help.” A $100 donation will enable batyr to reach-out to these at-risk youth providing them with the knowledge and skills to take charge of their mental health. Pieter added, “I like the idea of smashing the stigma surrounding mental ill-health to empower young people to reach out for support. Imagine if our diggers had this when they returned from the First War and tried to re-integrate into normal life?”

with Bob Holland

Never ending issues…. It’s hard not to be impressed with all the works and activities that are either going on or in the pipeline around Orange at the present time. On face value, a lot of them sound super exciting but the way they are unfolding and the controversy that many of them have created leaves one wondering where the plane will finally land when the public finishes having its say. Council had trouble deciding on where to locate a toilet block for years and just this week caved in on where they wanted to put a taxi rank. If these are examples of good planning in the first place, look out! That said, I wonder if our city is so busy with new projects that they’ve forgotten some of the clearly important projects that have been bugging us for years and still haven’t been adequately addressed. The projects I have in mind are 1) our ongoing water issues, 2) the state of the showground 3) a caravan park facility that meets modern demands, 4) the Mount Canobolas lookout fiasco and 5) sorting out our parks so that visitors can access them easily and find a decent toilet. In my view these ‘never ending issues’ are basic needs for a City like Orange and should be on our high priority list. It’s not as if they haven’t been going around and around for a very long time. Anyone following Council meetings would also be aware that Council has a list about a cricket pitch long, or so it seems, of items raised by Councillors that are still to be addressed.

Now knocking what Council is doing is always risky, but I must admit that with all the controversy that is going on with the various projects, it’s hard

not to think that some of the projects could have been handled better. The classic example is the sports stadium. Council buys land for it, then decides to put it somewhere else where it requires a lot of trees being removed, then it’s suggested that the former site could now be good for an arboretum where more trees could be planted. Talk about confusing! My feeling is that the original site may not be fit for the original purpose, but no one at Council is prepared to say that. My point being, why did Council buy land in the first place without ticking all the boxes? This is just one example of the type of controversies that are bobbing-up everywhere. At the most recent Council meeting, Councillor Turner seemed to suggest that a lot of these big projects should be held-over for the new Council to decide on after the September election. Given all the circumstances, that sounds like a good suggestion to me. Orange has a lot of smart (and expert) people who could make valuable contributions to the various projects that come-up. Sadly, it seems that Council by its actions, seems only prepared to pay lip-service to people who have something worthwhile to contribute. This leaves good people with a “why bother” attitude. I speak from experience on this, and regular readers would know what my area of expertise is and how I’ve totally failed in my attempts to help Council get a better marketing plan in place, one that’s fair to all business owners, not just one small sector. Let’s hope the next Council is made-up of smarter operators, and one more willing to listen to and then tap into local expert advice better than those we have now. It just makes plain good sense when you think about it.

It’s a race like no other; and Allison Writer is embarking on it for the second time! The local endurance runner is now hard in training for the unique Kokoda Challenge, a gruelling test of mind, body, and spirit designed to test the hardiest of competitors. The Challenge is special in that it seeks to replicate the heroic efforts up and down the Kokoda Track during World War II of the young Australian soldiers who turned-back the advancing Japanese seeking to take Port Moresby and cut Australia off. Allison is now looking for sponsors for the challenge that also helps young Australians battling issues of body confidence and mental well-being. “The aim is to raise money for youth aged 15–17 to stimulate their health and fitness; for kids that are struggling. The idea is that some of them come on the journey with us,” Allison — now back in hard-training for the event in mid-July — explained. Money raised from the event goes to the “The Kokoda Challenge Youth Program” which aims to teach young people that their achievements in life are directly-related to effort that they contribute to schoolwork, professionally, and in personal relationships.

THE

Kokoda Track

The group’s “Right Track” program targets grade 9–10 students who are disengaged from their education while the Kokoda Pathways Program provides Australian teens with employment mentoring through life skills and physical activity. Billed as “Australia’s toughest team endurance event”, the Challenge covers six major summits and descents, fire trails, 12 creeks, and a total of five kilometres of climbs. The “journey” is a 96km slog (the length of the Kokoda Trail) that includes four 500m summit climbs through the Gold Coast hinterland from Mudgeeraba to Nerang. “It’s a very tough event, and you have to do it in 39 hours. That is to honour the 39th Battalion who fought the Japanese on the Kokoda Track in 1942,” Allison said, explaining that she had completed her first Challenge in 2012. One of the unique and testing aspects of the event is that runners compete in teams of four; so, it’s also a test of teamwork, cooperation, and group spirit, not just individual fitness, and determination. “I’ll be running with two other runners from Melbourne, including my brother, and one from Goulburn,” Allison said. Allison looks to be in the peak of health, but says that the Challenge is another level-up from the good, general

aerobic fitness that she usually enjoys. “I keep fit and this is a goal to do it again, it’s such a privilege.” Looking to ramp-up her already high fitness levels — “I’ve always loved sport,” — she is now prepping for this special mix of running, hiking, backpacking, and climbing. “I did a hike up Mt Canobolas last weekend and I covered 40km in nine hours… it’s tough-training, running, walking, hiking, and carrying a backpack,” she explained. “I’ll push in as much as I can, I’ll go on mountain runs in places like Lithgow, Blackheath, the Mountains,” she added.

...I’M OUT THERE DOING IT, ONE FOOT IN FRONT OF THE OTHER... comfortably in the early 20s. “You’ve got to go from sea level to 500 metres four separate times as a way of replicating the Kokoda Track, I want to be fitter than last time I did it,” she said. She is being aided by trainers Matt and Angela from local fitness centre, Phyz X as well as family and friends. “I’ve raised the basic $400 to enter, but I’d like some sponsors to help raise money for this wonderful event.” She suspects that the “year of living safely” (and sedentary) that we’re now coming-out after the coronavirus, may have been a spur to her decision to re-enter this tortuous challenge as she brushes past 50. “It’s a bit of that, these events help with your mental health as well as fitness. “I’m out there doing it, one foot in front of the other,” Allison said with a determined glint in her eye.

Wired for sound — new transmitter for community radio station loud and clear

New technology has local community radio station FM107.5 wired for sound!

everywhere in between,” Darrell said excitedly. For this to happen before winter though, the weather clock is ticking with full installation of the new cabling and connectors taking a full fortnight from go to whoa.

Imminent installation of a new high-powered transmitter on Mt Canobolas will mean that listeners throughout the Central West will soon be hearing the local broadcaster loud and clear.

“Obviously up the Mount at 30 metres off the ground, you can’t work in all conditions. We’d hope to have it resolved before the road closures and the like,” Darrell added.

Donation of the new hi-tech transmitter by a sponsor will save the station thousands in power costs while also boosting its signal with recently-resolved technical issues now the only fly in the ointment, Station General Manager, Darrell Hair said.

“The station is in a good position, we’ve got 28 volunteer presenters, we’ve got good volunteers and station sponsors, and the bank balance is recovering,” he said optimistically.

“We’re hoping to have it in by the end of April, but it’s not like just getting an electrician to install a television aerial,” he explained. A problem with reflexive signal (feedback) from the radio antennae due to water leakage into the transmitter cabling has delayed the installation, but those issues are near resolution, Darrell added. “Basically, there was water damage in a power divider after rain leaked down from the antenna but, with consultations over the past week or so, it’s possible it will be rectified sooner rather than later,” he explained. Villages like Millthorpe and Molong will then be able to hear the eclectic mix of interviews, talk shows, and music programs as well as central Orange. “Oh, it will go much further than just the villages, the signal will go as far as Blayney, Oberon, Wellington, Parkes, Forbes, Cowra and

The transmitter model chosen will also aid Orange Community Broadcaster’s bottom line as it features low-power usage while also producing a stronger signal. “It will save us heaps in power, which is very important as electricity usage is one of our main costs,” he said. The new transmitter incorporates an ingenious fluctuating usage model that utilises the exact amount of power needed for the weather and atmospheric conditions. “It ensures reliability, a better signal and a huge saving in power,” Darrell said. “We spend about $7000 a year on power, and we’re estimating that we’ll be saving at least 40 percent, about $3000 per year.” The station’s longest-serving presenter with three decade’s on-air, former ABC presenter Gordon McMillan, said that community radio provides a service not provided by commercial radio or the national broadcaster.

Installation of a new transmitter will mean community radio FM107.5 will be well and truly ‘wired for sound’, General Manager, Darrell Hair and Treasurer, Amanda Spalding believe.

“It’s vital for the diversity of music and programming locally and providing opportunities towards getting on-air experience,” Gordon said. “We attract people from throughout our local communities,” Darrell added. “People can feel better for being a volunteer and gaining confidence, it helps volunteers with new skills and confidence to go out into the world, to improve themselves.” “The new transmitter is one of several improvements happening at the station in 2021 to increase the overall service to our communities within the listening area and to streamline the operations making it easier for our volunteers to present their shows” Darrell said. “Now more than ever, regional communities, large and small, are facing challenges like never before. Local situations are sometimes changing on a daily basis so getting vital information out to the community has become more important than ever and what better vehicle to do that than through the ‘local’ radio station,” President, Richard Hattersley said. “We see ‘local’ media, both print and radio, playing a more prominent role as we negotiate

these challenging times.” “We’ve got volunteers from 16 up to the age of 86, and we provide public-interest journalism that is an alternative to commercial media,” Station Treasurer, Amanda Spalding explained. “FM107.5 is the local community radio station for Orange, Cabonne and Blayney. It is run entirely by volunteers. It’s funded through donations and grants but, most importantly, by sponsorship from local businesses advertising to their customers,” Amanda added. “We livestream our programs globally so have a worldwide reach.” Amanda says that the delays to the new transmitter have provided one consolation; it has shown how popular the station is in the community! “When we’re broadcasting, we don’t really know how many people are actually listening, but the number of people who have approached us to ask, ‘your signal is not the best, but we are still listening’ is encouraging.” “Throughout this difficult period, I’ve learnt how popular the station is, which is good,” Amanda concluded.

FM107.5 welcomes enquiries from businesses about sponsorship and would also like to hear from anyone interested in becoming a member or volunteer presenter on the station.

Getting message out the key to Council success

— Dr Peterson

Getting your key message out in the Communication Age is a job at which Orange Council can do better, Council candidate Dr Steve Peterson believes.

One of Orange City Life’s most high-profile “Mock Councillors”, Dr Peterson has always embraced leadership responsibilities and argues that he can bring a unique perspective to local government. Top of the “Refresh Orange” ticket for September’s poll, he says that his unique background mix — a medical doctor who spent part of his childhood in Beijing and who is now wheelchair-bound after a car-bycycle collision three years ago — offers the “diversity” that so many bemoan as lacking in the current Council. “I thought, ‘being 35 years-old with young children, a professional background, and serious disability, is an odd mix of perspectives that I can offer’,” he added. Dr Peterson still works as a GP providing invaluable online consultancies to small rural hospitals like Molong and Cobar through the “Virtual Rural Generalist Service” and “Remote GP” Service. “It works surprisingly well; the majority of all but the mostserous cases, we can manage remotely, because some of these towns simply can’t get doctors 24/7 and this assists local staff,” the Australian National University-trained physician explained. Like many Army children — he spent his growing years following his father’s senior military career starting at Hong Kong where he was born and, then later, some time at Beijing, China for high school. He also lived for a period at rural army bases including Canungra (Queensland) and Queenscliff (Victoria) and so it seemed natural for he and his wife Deborah, also a doctor, to

look to the bush when they graduated. “As soon as we finished medical school, we took work in country areas like Cairns, Innisfail, Mareeba, Darwin, the Kimberley, we never really lived and worked in big cities,” he explained. So, when Deborah wanted to return home for their first child and to work with the Orange Aboriginal Health Service, he jumped at the chance. It was here that his natural willingness to pitch-in attracted him to a role with Council. “I suppose being involved in a community is a concept I’m comfortable with… I’ve always been a joiner,” he said. “I was president of the student society for my medical school, organising events and the like. “I was also a Scout Youth Member, Queen Scout and Leader for 15 years. That type of role encourages you to plan things and make them happen. You have to do it yourself and that gives you self-confidence,” he explained. With an eye to elected office at one time or another, it was one of those inexplicable acts of fate that intervened in his life. “I always thought it was something that I might do, but three years ago I was hit by a car and became a quadriplegic,” Dr Peterson explained. This eventuality though has not dimmed his interest in elected office, and he has been testing the waters as one of Orange City Life’s Mock Councillors, a concept developed by publisher, Bob Holland to provide an alternative view on local government decisions in the Colour City.

“

Unlike many others in the shadow council, he is mostlysupportive of the current councillors who come up for re-election in September. “My view is that, people elected to these roles generally try to do the right thing; some things they do well, others not so well. The question is, will the next Council avoid these mistakes?” He believes that communication failures let down the current Council. “One of these communication pitfalls were the trees in Anson St (which had been proposed by Council to be removed for a pedestrian mall).” “There was obviously a lot of planning and effort to create a plan for this proposal, but the residents were not taken with it, better communication could have saved a lot of this,” Dr Peterson said of the strong public opposition to the proposal. “A lot of people don’t understand what Council does and how their money is spent, better communication would take a lot of heat off them,” he said. Dr Peterson believes that the practices of the past no longer work in the Communication Age: “There’s so many ways of communicating, it’s no longer a piece of paper on a noticeboard, you need to do better than that.” Her intends running only as a councillor for his first term and believes that local government reps need at least two terms before they put their hand-up for the mayoral robes. “I think you need to know how the process works before you look further, I’ll be running on an integrity point of view… honesty and openness,” Dr Peterson concluded.

OCLife Keeping h ealthy and fit in your older year s helps inc rease life expectanc y, reduces health-car impacts, a e nd improv es your quality-oflife. This is the first in series of a a rticles by Charles Stu University r t expert, Dr Eevon Sto tt.

Health and fitness for the over 50s…

For the “complex” issue of fitness, start with exercise professionals • How many repetitions should I do this exercise?

Fashion frustrates me. To me, clothing is a necessity that provides social decency and protection. The endless combinations generated by colours, style, material, and occasions, confuses me and my solution is a “uniform” of black tops and bottoms.

• How much rest should I have before doing this exercise again? • I’m bored with this exercise, is there a variation that can improve my performance? • At what speed should I be doing this exercise? • I have injured the left side of my body and am recovering well; can I do this exercise on just my right side?

But what has fashion got to do with exercise? After years of practising as an exercise scientist, I have come to understand and appreciate that exercise is inherently complex, not unlike the example above of fashion. Another analogy would be nutrition and our relationship with food — a multi-faceted sphere of knowledge and experiences that can be mind-boggling. And that is why the equation for weight loss ≠ input < output is, simply put, not that simple. I cannot remember ever being inactive and now spend considerable time thinking about exercise and how it relates to health. Of course, not everyone enjoys being active. Evolutionary biologist Daniel E. Lieberman sums it up nicely in this article where he concludes that: “the vast majority of people today behave just as their ancestors, by exercising only when it is fun (as a form of play) or when necessary”. As I age, my raison d’etre is to stockpile a “pink-of-health” bank-balance of fitness right now — not just because I enjoy being active — but to establish the habit of regular exercise that will (hopefully) stand me in good stead for the projected longer lifespan that many populations in developed nations now enjoy. With a life-expectancy with a disability for an Australian male estimated at 17 years, perhaps it’s time to lay the “she’ll be right, mate” attitude to rest and to take a serious look at preventive health strategies.

The same questions could be asked of other muscle groups that are just as important — back, shoulders, arms, legs, core. Therefore, take a broader view and recognise that cardiovascular, balance, and flexibility training can all follow the same lines of enquiry with the same nuanced, complex answers.

In this Age of Information, knowledge is (mostly) freely available. The American College of Sports Medicine periodically reviews effective interventions to promote the benefits of physical activity; and there are evidence-based recommendations for older adults to include resistance training in their exercise regimen. That said, there is always a trend to seek simple answers and miracle cures for complex issues — the: try this weird trick to make your life better; and: “miracle” food supplement that burns fat; or: do this one exercise for a longer life. This human desire for fitness “miracles” offers the most-plausible explanation as to why new exercise programs, diets, and fashion statements, continue to emerge as quickly as the latest 10-in-one home gym set-ups. These mostly-illusory health and fitness “cure-alls” are little more than the modern equivalent of the

snake-oil salesman of the 19th century. In reality, there are no short-cuts to good fitness and health. But there are structured ways of approaching the science of exercise (and no, walking in itself, is not enough!), with the peak professional body, “Exercise & Sports Science Australia” committed to establishing and promoting exercise science for the benefits of society. Take resistance-training for example, the type of exercise increasingly encouraged for better health and fitness. Using the seemingly simple classical exercise of a “push-up” as an example, the following factors could be considered: • What muscle group does this exercise use? • Am I able to perform this exercise using my body weight? If not, is there equipment that can help me to strengthen this muscle group safely?

Firstly, find your why? For not just exercise, but your life — your reason for being. What drives you, what’s your motivation for remaining or seeking good health and fitness. If you can find your “why” then your best chance of understanding the “how” and the “what” for your best outcomes could be with an accredited exercise scientist trained to improve fitness and prevent the onset of chronic diseases. Accredited exercise scientists are degree-trained and are knowledgeable about the scientific principles underpinning exercise, sport, and physical activity. They have the advanced skills, knowledge, and training, to take the collaborative approach to the science of exercise, involving clinicians such as your physician, physiotherapist, dietician, osteopath, and physiologist, if necessary. So, for starters, Find the right Exercise Professional to help you and Exercise Right to lead a more active life!

The money that we are raising on the night will go towards more specialised support for them. “This is our key fundraiser and will continue to be our key fundraiser for The Orchard. It’s the support of local businesses like the Orange Ex Services Club that mean we can continue to raise money and support vulnerable people in need.

Ex- Services ClubGRANTS has been absolutely fantastic with us, that support is amazing and we want to celebrate that with the community. “People are still being so amazingly generous and it’s obviously a cause that this is close to people’s hearts.”

Barnesy’s Lifeline Tour — MELISE COLEMAN —

From April 26, much loved local Col ‘Barnesy’ Barnes will conquer a cycling trek travelling from Orange to Eugowra.

Barnsey’s efforts will see much-needed funds and awareness raised for Lifeline Central West, our local branch. “I approached Lifeline about a month ago, due to the number of suicides within our community,” said Col. “Lifeline Central West are virtually self-funded out here, so they do need the funds badly.” Barneys ride will be six days in total, from Monday through to Saturday. “I can’t walk far anymore,” Col laughed. “So, I’ve been out training (cycling) for the past month or so, I’m getting a bit serious now, but I can just take my time on the bike. I think google maps says from

Orange to Molong it will take around 1 hour 33 minutes by bike.. well it may take me four to five hours. “I’ve also organised accommodation and meals, as generous people will be putting me up for the night.” Special events will be organised as Col makes tracks, so keep an eye on his Facebook page. At this stage, Goolagong will be hosting a night at the pub with the ‘The River Rats’ playing for the community. A great night to be had by all! Barnsey added, “I’m going to love this trek, getting out into nature with the birds and surroundings whilst raising money for something that’s really worthwhile.”

Lifeline Central West covers 1/3 of regional/rural NSW, they not only provide telephone crisis support, problem gambling help counselling, and financial counselling through their Orange, Bathurst and Dubbo offices, they also provide face-to-face counselling services to help those who are struggling and/ or their families and work colleagues. As Barnsey gets set to ride out, he is still seeking corporate sponsorship. If you’d like to support Col through his journey, please contact on him on 0448 139 537. You can also support him by heading to www.facebook.com/col.barnes.9

EXTRA SUPPORT FOR TRAVEL AGENTS Travel agents will be able to share in additional funding support of $130 million from the Australian Government under Round Two of the COVID-19 Consumer Travel Support Program, which opens later this month. The Government has committed $258 million to support our travel agents through the COVID-19 Consumer Travel Support Program. We provided $128 million in Round One to support some 3000 travel agents who continued to serve their customers. We are now providing additional support of $130 million via Round Two. Local travel agents are urged to check their eligibility and apply for funding. The Government’s support for travel agents complements the $1.2 billion aviation and tourism support package which was designed to get domestic tourists spending and follows the successful JobKeeper program.

COVID VACCINE ROLLOUT The story of the COVID-19 pandemic is one of successes and setbacks. Certainly the new information in relation to the Astra Zeneca vaccine and potential links to blood-clotting has been on of those setbacks. The Government accepts the advice from Australia’s medical experts and will move swiftly to ensure our vaccination program and advice to patients is adjusted accordingly. The medical advice to the Government is that the risk of blood clotting side effects from the AstraZeneca vaccine is four to six in one million people, in the first 4 to 20 days post the vaccine. This is a rare but serious side effect. On that basis, the recommendation is that the Pfizer vaccine be provided to adults under the age of 50. Consequently, the Government has secured an additional 20 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, in line with advice from the Scientific Industry Technical Advisory Group on Vaccines led by Dr Brendan Murphy. These additional 20 million Pfizer doses means Australia will now receive a total of 40 million Pfizer doses in 2021. It is anticipated that these additional 20 million doses will be available in the fourth quarter of 2021. If you have any questions about the vaccine rollout, I would strongly encourage you to talk to your GP. The vaccine program is our way out of this pandemic and so it is important that when faced with the inevitable set backs, that we continue to adapt and change and remind ourselves of how fortunate we are to live in a country where we have the resources and low community transmission to be able to deal with these challenges.

Flowers that are uniquely you — MELISE COLEMAN —

It’s a big week for Pick Me Flowers and Gifts, this week they are celebrating their fifth year of supplying the Orange region with beautiful floral arrangements, and they are also celebrating a change of scenery moving into a new premise on Sale Street. Owner Jane Hyde employs eight local members of the community and says she couldn’t imagine that she would be where she is today in business. “Five years ago, I wanted a change in career, I had always been in communications and marketing, and I just got tired of working on computers. I had always loved floristry and I had seen an opportunity in the Orange Arcade that was under development, I took a gamble.. and here we are,” Jane smiled. “I could barely afford to fill the shop back then, it took me a while to get situated. I was unknown in Orange having moved from New Zealand, so I had to gather a clientele and it’s hard work, people don’t realise how hard it really is.” Jane continued. “We’ve grown so much we’ve actually outgrown our little piece of paradise and have taken the plunge to a bigger and brighter premise. I was offered this shop and I said, I’ll take the gamble. But I think people will love the change. They won’t have seen a florist like this in Orange. “It’s the first time in five years that I will be able to watch people walk past the shop, have fresh air, direct sunlight and a carpark at the door,” Jane smiled. “But I will

Jane added, “I’m proud that we are still here five years later, that we have grown and that the community support that we receive. You’ve got to swing with the times, and I’ve diversified what our shop is all about frequently. I have terrific staff, and I am proud to extend myself and employ one staff member through Life Without Barriers.”

absolutely miss the Arcade family. “Pick Me Flowers is my creative outlet, every day I get to design something new. It’s a lifetime dream that’s come to fruition, it’s the business that drives me, it really is.” Pick Me Flowers and Gifts have since become a one stop shop. The team are also introducing a mini flowers subscription – which can be subscribed to weekly, fortnightly or monthly. It costs $35 with free delivery and you’ll receive mini flower bouquet and a glass vase that’s ready to go, you can put it on your work desk, on your kitchen table, on your bench – wherever you want. “It would be great for a gift idea,” said Jane. “We have always had the stock, but we have expanded our gift range to include homewares and pots, local handmade jewellery, hats, handbags and more.” Jane proudly states that most of the stock is Australian, and even better she is supporting locals within our smaller community including pottery artist, Emily Laszuk. Not only that, Jane does a lot behind the scenes within the community whether it be donating teddy bears to the Children’s Ward at the Orange Health Service, or supporting the Hospital Auxiliary with balloons, flowers and giftware. She is proud to do it all.

Buena Vista a virtuous cycle for 60 good years “Op shops” are a virtuous cycle that give to the community in so many ways. Sixtieth anniversary celebrations this week for Orange’s Buena Vista store highlights their unique role in the district, long-time manager Irene Dwight said. “It’s like a circle, people purchase books and things that help other people, and then, when they’re finished, they bring them back,” she said. “It’s like that old song, ‘All my Life’s a Circle’, that’s what we do here,” she explained. Op (Opportunity) shops — usually run by church groups — receive donated clothes, books, music, toys, and shoes and sell them at heavily-discounted prices to fund good works in the community. To maximise their giving; they are almost totallystaffed by volunteers, usually women. Buena Vista has been doing this from before the Beatles and has developed a committed shopper base — not just local, but throughout NSW. “People come from all-over, they often comment in our

visitor book, we don’t advertise but they find us out,” Irene said proudly. “One person wrote, ‘this is the best shop south of South Africa’.” “Sydney, Dubbo, Victoria, we’re very giving. We love to help customers and we try to help all people,” Irene said proudly. “We don’t buy anything, it’s all done through community donations,” she said, adding that almost all of the group’s 40 or so volunteers are women: “though we do have men that come and take rubbish to the tip,” she said. As well as helping those in need (all profits go to support Orange Family Support Services), the shop also provides important social contacts for not just shoppers, but also its volunteers. “It’s total enjoyment, this is like coming to a family for them, they do slices and things for morning teas… a lot of our volunteer ladies love helping the community." Closing for four months during the COVID-19 lockdown between March and June 2020, the return of the store was like a family reunion for both shoppers and volunteers, she added. “When we re-opened, it was fantastic, people were so happy to come back in and see us open again,” Irene said. “People

were amazing, it was wonderful to be able to open those doors again.” This Thursday, April 15, is the big day for the celebrations with a chance for shoppers to win a food hamper and instore gifts and vouchers available for shoppers. The store opened in April 1961 in small, rented premises in Anson Street; Friday’s only from 10.30–4pm. On that first day: “Five workers were kept busy all day selling ironing boards, beds, children’s toys, a gas stove, jam, flowers, vegetables and clothing of every description,” a report from the time said. Irene also explained one of the mysteries of this local institution, how it got its unusual name (“good view” in Spanish). “In the early years, the shop was an important source of income for the Buena Vista Boys Home in Nile Street.” The store moved to the busy Peisley Street precinct into the old weatherboard “Henkes Railway Bakery” building purchased by UPA (the United Protestant Assocation) in 1963 with extended opening hours. These early days though, were not all smooth-sailing. “This two-story building (believed to have been built about 1883) had a rickety staircase no-one dared to climb for fear of its collapse, was demolished early 1987 and the ‘new look’ Op Shop was opened in September 1987 by the-then Orange Mayor, Mr Tim Sullivan,” Irene said. The shop has provided cheap items and support for thousands of locals over the past 60 years. “The Orange community has continually supported the Op Shop with a never-ending flow of donations, and volunteers, both past and present, have given much time and effort to present this popular ‘Boutique on Peisley St’,” Irene said. Special display in the shop's window for the anniversary celebrations includes fashions from the 1960s and a montage of old music albums, brochures, and newspaper clippings from the heady days of more than half a century ago. Having nearly two decades experience at the store herself, Irene says that, apart from the fashion, the passing years has seen little change in the role of Buena Vista. “There’s a continuity, there’s just a flowing feel to the shop… we like to help people, that’s what we do,” Irene concluded.

MP Phil Donato STATE MEMBER FOR ORANGE QUARANTINE SUBSIDY FOR

AG SECTOR

Following reports of NSW growers losing revenue as a direct result of seasonal labour shortage of thousands of seasonal agricultural workers, attributed to COVID travel restrictions, I asked Ag Minister Adam Marshall the following question earlier this year in NSW Parliament: “...Small and medium growers have indicated that the initial outlay to access worker schemes is too high when employers are required to pay $3,000 for each worker to quarantine. Will there be a subsidy for quarantine costs for small and medium farming enterprises that are reliant on foreign workers through the Pacific Labour Scheme or Seasonal Worker Programme?” Well, the Minister has now acted in response to my question, and has recently announced a $1,500 (50%) subsidy for hotel quarantine of inbound foreign workers. This is a positive step and I’m pleased the Minister responded to my request.

The fire on Monday last week in Summer Street has devastated local business and people’s livelihoods. My thoughts go out to those impacted and I thank all the firefighters for what they did to combat and quell the fire, and for what they do 24/7, yearin and year-out.

DIARY! G’day, I hope you all had a happy and safe Easter and enjoyed a few well deserved days off with your friends and family.

Cheers, Phil

ORANGE Men’s Shed Great to visit the boys at the Orange Men’s Shed again. Since their Lucknow shed was damaged by fire last year, they’ve been temporarily accommodated in the old Riverside Centre in the Bloomfield precinct until a more permanent arrangement can be made.

The feedback I’ve received from firefighters is that this fire was a difficult job and that there were issues regarding access however if they’d had an aerial appliance available, (such as the one in this picture) it would have made a big difference in extinguishing the fire much quicker, potentially saving property from further damage. It would also have made it a lot safer for the firefighters who were at greater risk without such equipment at their disposal. The nearest aerial firefighting appliance is in Sydney and I’ve repeatedly asked the NSW Government to provide this important resource to be based in the Central West to combat multi-level or complex fires, but still we wait. This fire has reignited the issue and I’ll continue pushing for appropriate fire and emergency resources for our community.

The Council Game

What happened at Council on 15th April 2021? The Council meeting of Tuesday 6th April was a very long meeting. It was just after 10p.m. when a resolution was passed to keep going so that confidential items could be discussed. The agenda measured 11 centimetres (around 4.5 inches)! The Mayoral Minute concerning investigation of the using the NDR site that was originally purchased as the site for the proposed sports stadium as a native arboretum; the likely demand for future sports fields; an Endangered Ecological Community block capable of creating biodiversity offsets; a Carbon Bank via intensive native plantings was approved. The Planning and Development Committee

concerns during a 30 minute public forum session before the councillors debate the issue. A supplementary report on changing the proposals for Future City as a result of further engagement with stakeholders agreed to retain the taxi rank in Lords Place and a planned pedestrian zebra crossing will be moved away from the cab rank.

agenda was particularly long and the DA for a house in Green Lane was finally approved after a long haul for the applicants. Among other approvals were a childcare centre for the Newstead Bowling Club site on Hill Street; the Heritage and Eastside Precinct amendments to the Local Environmental Plan and the Development Control Plan for the Old Orange Base Hospital site – the West End precinct. Council will now sell this site with the late

mock mayor

Amanda Spalding The Council meeting of Tuesday 6th April was a very long meeting. I have been part of some recent discussions with members of local community groups about ‘does it really have to be done this way?’. Some people were questioning the timing and duration of meetings and others were keen to improve the nature of the meeting. It was pointed out that the present incumbents are not good role models in promoting the roles of Mayor and Councillor in Orange as ‘sexy’ enough for people to aspire to!! I was present in the Public Gallery but see from the comments of Mock Councillors who watched the meeting on Livestream that the sound issues have still not been resolved. The concept of Livestreaming Council meetings was mandated by the NSW Government so that people who cannot get to public meetings can watch and listen online during the meeting, or watch the recording later. I have also commented before that Orange City Council seems

addition of affordable/social housing to the Development Control Plan. The Climate Change Management Plan was also approved. In the Council meeting itself it was agreed that an extraordinary meeting of Orange City Council will be held at 7pm on Tuesday April 27 to decide whether to remove over 500 trees at Bloomfield for Orange’s $25 million sporting complex. Speakers will be able to voice their

to make little attempt to improve the experience for members of the public taking an interest as there is no hearing loop, nor do they show the motions and amendments on screens as the meeting progresses (and this would also assist Councillors who get confused sometimes). Many of the people I sat with in the Public Gallery did not understand the process and when certain reports would be considered. In the Public Forum, Kate Hook from Futuring Orange, (who was addressing the proposal for Council to hold an Extraordinary Meeting on 27th April to discuss the Development Application to remove 513 trees at South Bloomfield), asked whether it would be possible to change the nature of the meeting so that there could be more of a discussion rather than the normal formality of Council meetings. Later in the meeting, when the report was eventually discussed, Councillor McRae sought reassurance that the meeting would follow the normal rules and asked whether a petition could be tabled. She was assured that the Extraordinary Meeting would follow normal Council meeting rules, and the time for petitions to object to the proposal is long past. It does not have to be this way. Council seems very determined to push the decision making process through as fast as possible, apparently because of the timescale requirements

Council also agreed to reduce the number of street trees planned for McNamara Street following concerns from business owners that it would reduce parking spots. Four trees will now be placed on the street with three in the adjacent public car park. Council’s draft budget was approved for exhibition for 28 days for community comment. Orange residents will be paying on average $32.35 a year more for council rates while businesses will have to pay $96.96 a year extra in the next financial year if the draft budget is approved when the final report comes back to Council for consideration in June.

of the NSW Government funding. As a result, the process being pursued, (of a series of Development Applications for different parts of the sports stadium proposal, with different decision making bodies), is not conducive to a problem solving approach to finding solutions to some of the very valid community concerns with the current location and design. There have been some 170 submissions to the DA for the removal of the trees, and Council staff made it clear at the community forum that submissions could only address the issues in that DA, not the sports stadium proposal overall. There are very real concerns about locating the sports stadium on Forest Road including the potential traffic conflicts of event traffic with hospital and Cadia mine emergency responses. Participants were told that traffic issues would not be considered in the trees DA. There is a real danger that the DA for the removal of trees could be approved and the trees immediately cut down to facilitate a design that does not eventuate. Council seems determined to frustrate reasonable debate and ostracise many community members when a more acceptable overall solution could be found. This does not need to cause a significant delay. In my experience what appears to be the long way round often ends up being the shortest route and the end rarely justifies the means.

THE COUNCIL GAME

difficult to follow what is happening.

mock councillor

Daniel McGregor At this week’s Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association meeting, we were lucky enough to have Council’s General Manager, David Waddell, come and present to us. I’d have to say I was impressed listening to David. Getting some insights into what’s going on around town and the thought processes behind these was really interesting. I left the meeting feeling like Council has a pretty good man at the helm and that there are lots of bright sparks on the horizon. It was also nice for the Residents and Ratepayers members to be able to share a number of concerns with David and he was very receptive to these and some of the ideas put forward from the group. As a member of the Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association, it’s refreshing to sit in a room with other people who are passionate about Orange, but who can have vastly differing opinions, however these can be shared, discussed and debated in a positive manner and with mutual respect. My opinion is only one, but an Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association meeting is a whole lot more enjoyable to sit through than a Council meeting. That’s why I’m writing about it instead! Hearing David Waddell speak this week only made me more interested in being a part of the Council process. If I were on Council, I would look forward to helping Council run as smoothly, effectively and efficiently as possible to help David and his team deliver the best possible results for the residents and ratepayers of this great city.

The Council meeting considered many matters. The planning battle relating to the vacant lot in Green Lane was discussed and voted on, the adjusted proposal for the McNamara Lane/ Lords Place precinct was considered, as was the proposal for the old hospital site. Recently, many meetings have had some councillors attending via Zoom, and it has been obvious that it is difficult to hear one or two councillors as they speak, because those attending via Zoom have waved or made gestures to indicate this. Tuesday night was the same - the same two councillors were virtually impossible to hear. When they spoke, it sounded like a mobile phone conversation that drops in and out, which is quite excruciating to listen to, and makes it very

20 APRIL 15—21, 2021

Good communication is so important. It doesn’t matter how amazing ideas or policies are, they are worth much less unless communicated effectively. This applied to some of the matters discussed & made me wonder if these had been handled better from a communication perspective, the outcomes may have been more timely and possibly easier for the affected parties to accept. Most people, in my experience, are pretty reasonable but they do like to know & understand what is going on, especially in relation to a planning application, the outcome of which is likely to have a significant impact on their lives. Being kept in the loop, advised on possible alternative options, having more complicated legislative requirements explained, being encouraged to ask questions, and even super basic things like letting applicants know where you’re up to & how long it’s realistically likely to take - these are all communicative elements that would make some of these processes more bearable. Oh, and fixing the microphones (or teaching the offending councillors how to use them) wouldn’t hurt.

see whether the majority stick with their predetermined stance on the fait accompli of approval or if they’ll realise their job is to listen to the community. Honorary mention goes to Councillor Munro who still will not speak into his microphone, which although he may be audible to those present in the chambers, it certainly does not translate across to the livestream. 147 days to go folks.

Another lack lustre experience watching the latest Council meeting last week. It really has been hard going watching our Council at recent meetings and one can’t help but wonder if meetings couldn’t be more fruitful if conducted a bit differently.

Melanie McDonell

The Council meeting was yet more of the same old posturing and time-wasting by the majority of Councillors (most notably, the repeat offenders here are the Councillors who have served more than one term). The award for the most gobsmacking, incredulous motion of the decade, must go to the mayor. And it was a doozy. Essentially, he wants to turn the greenfield site off the NDR (originally purchased for the sporting precinct in 2015) into a native arboretum - planted out with hundreds of trees, primarily natives. I honestly hope that I am not the only one who sees the total, utter and absolute lunacy of this: - destroy an already established parkland with more than 1200 pieces of established, mature vegetation for a sporting precinct; whilst planting out a greenfield site with trees as an offset on a site also earmarked for future overflow sporting fields! If the NDR site is good enough for these hypothetical future fields, then it would seem hypocritical to say that the site is no longer suitable for use at this present time. The reckless, cavalier attitude of our mayor exemplified in this motion, and shared by many Councillors, is the precise reason that this decision is not theirs to make. They will not be there for much longer and this issue affects current and future generations, it should be for the next Council to vote on after true and proper community consultation. I look forward to the meeting on 27th April at Council Chambers to discuss the Bloomfield tree destruction. With 170 submissions on the DA, it will be interesting to

The Council papers for last week’s meeting was around 800 pages and that in itself must be challenging for Councillors, especially since they only get them a few days prior to the meeting. Some observations from the meeting were: After not saying too much at all at recent meetings Councillor McRae seems to have a lot to say last week and not a lot of it had much value. It appeared like she had decided to lift her profile a bit more, maybe a sign that she’s considering standing again in September, and part of her performance was to try and be funny with some lame humour filtered through her comments. An ongoing dispute between neighbours in Green Lane came up again and the nit-picking over details seemed to be getting to the ridiculous stage. Councillor Mileto added some wisdom by saying something along the lines that rules are there for good reason but some latitude for reasonableness must be applied. Maybe not his exact words but the spirit of what he said was right. Councillor Duffy continues to show that he just loves to hear the sound of his own voice. He gets the silly award for the night. During the discussion about the Future City plans for Lords Place and McNamara Street, he expressed strong opposition to the way these would impact on the traffic issues for say emergency vehicles like in the case of the Café Latte fire last week. Bit late to raise that Councillor Duffy now that the work is underway or about to start. The meeting ran for over 3 hours and again, I wondered why many of the questions raised by Councillors during the meeting aren’t dealt with simply by asking questions of the relevant staff during working hours? Wasting time on simple questions that don’t need to be discussed at a Council meeting seems a complete waste of time and energy. If Councillors want to big note by showing that they have actually been thinking, let them do it some other way.

THE COUNCIL GAME

I would like more transparency from future councils. It may be that the community would prefer lower rates instead of certain projects and that option should be on the table.

mock councillor

Steve Peterson

attended family day care administered by council and found it an amazing option for care. I would dearly like to spend my time on Council ensuring that some of the funds available for capital expenditure, and ongoing operational budgeting, could include the establishment of new, council funded affordable day care centres, and an expansion of family day care funding to encourage more small operators into the sector.

mock councillor

The proposal of a native arboretum on land near the northern distributor is worth considering. If the land is not going to be used for the sporting precinct then an alternative use should be found. Starting investigations to provide the information that will help council decide on the merits is sound. What I would like to be considered in investigations is if there an opportunity for limited residential development. There are potential problems with this idea given proximity to Suma Park dam, the town water supply. However Orange is growing at a rapid rate and land prices are high. Could some of the land be safely sold by council and funds be used for construction and maintenance of any arboretum? Later on in the meeting there was discussion about Orange’s strong financial position and budget. Could then a land sale such as I’ve mentioned be used to put some downward pressure on rates given they are higher than our neighbours? It may be that this is not the best course of action, but it would be nice to at least consider it as the arboretum proposal is investigated. I think we should talk about the cost of rates. Council rates should not be something brought up by prospective councillors for a headline just before an election and then forgotten about. Equally though, rates should not be some sort of ‘he that should not be named Voldemort-esq.’ topic. Rather good transparency about council expenditure, and explanation about why there are differences in rates with nearby councils, would improve community support for expenses such as the proposed arboretum.

Theodore Crane

mock councillor

My topic this week is about the strategic plan, operational plan, and budget discussed at the meeting. Perhaps I am somewhat obsessive about these sort of documents, and was very pleased to read in detail the 4 year capital expenditure plan in particular. A capital allocation of $232.1m over the 4 years shows our council has ambitious development expectations, continuing to assist in driving economic growth in the town, providing jobs and incomes for residents. Very encouraging given the continuing population growth we are experiencing. The 4 year strategic plan for capital expenditure is a cornerstone for ensuring that out capital works can respond to the changing needs of our town, and the council staff involved should be commended for the work they have completed to develop this. Sadly, I saw under councillor’s bids that only $50,000 requested in the childcare space, which was not included in the community strategic plan. By comparison, $100,000 was included for a new picket fence in Riawena Oval, pending costings. I’m saddened that so little was put forward to grow the childcare facilities in Orange. Council-run childcare, including family day care, is crucial to many families and waiting lists remain long. My personal experience was that after joining waiting lists for some facilities 3 months before they were born, my children didn’t receive an offer of place until they were 3 years of age. Two of my children

For once it appears that our Council is going about getting community input in the right way. It concerns where the long time coming multi storey carpark should be built. Council is asking for community input and has put forward six options with various information about each. This would appear to be the first time I can remember when the process for something big like this has started this way. I applaud Council on the way they’re going about it. Too many projects lately appear to be underway before the public has been given the chance to get their teeth into them. I know Council will say they invited input to the various projects, but I doubt if it was as upfront and widely publicised as this car park issue. If they had, we wouldn’t see all the backlash that we’ve seen over sports stadiums, plazas and so on. For my two bob’s worth, I think the Ophir Car Park is the obvious choice for the carpark. In terms of practicality, location, access point options and the impact on surrounding properties, seems a no brainer. I think the Woolworths car park has too many issues to contend with, one being the need for semi-trailers to deliver there frequently.

Painting...

surprises Claudia’s “Colour City” sojourn

We’re not happy until you are.

— DAVID DIXON —

Claudia Jerogin is not your average engineering student! Effusive and outgoing, she is half-way through a project for Orange City Council on a subject that most people don’t even want to think about, let alone work on. Making the city’s sewage treatment system operate better! Growing-up and schooled on Sydney’s leafy North Shore and with little experience of country living, the Colour City has proven even more friendly than she imagined. “A lot of people said the locals would be welcoming and kind, but I was not aware how welcoming and kind they would be; I’ve been really surprised,” she said. “The first week I knew I’d like it here, I went to a trivia night at the pub and people I didn’t know were so friendly and reached-out to say ‘hello’,” she added. Her only previous experience of life west of the Mountains was, she said, a trip once to Dubbo for a 21st birthday party. “I definitely was a bit scared; I went to school in Sydney (Wenona at North Sydney) and knew everyone and have a lot of contacts, and that’s where all my friends are,” she said. “There are things I miss about the city, friends and things and I love the beach. But I live in a share-house in Marrickville (in Sydney’s inner west) and, when I run, it’s on concrete paths. Here I run on parks and grass, it’s much nicer,” she said. In her Honours Year in Chemical Engineering at the University of Sydney, it was her interest in water and its central role in the environment that led to her circuitous route to the inner workings of Orange’s wastewater system.

“I did express an interest in water because it underpins everything and it seemed like an interesting thing to study,” she explained. Her project involves using natural sugars, sucrose and glycerol, to reduce harmful nitrogen levels in wastewater which can lead to problems like toxic algal blooms. The six-month research project is part of the University’s Major Industry Project Placement Scholarship scheme (MIPPS).

Some friends and colleagues expressed surprise at her “earthy” choice of research project. “Very much so, especially when I say I’m working at the sewage treatment plant, that’s not something a lot of people would sign-up for,” Claudia laughed. “There were some jokes from friends about working in waste-water… my housemate in Sydney gave me a bottle of bodywash so I wouldn’t come back stinking, that was her joke,” Claudia smiled. “There are 10 students in my group, and some are at start-ups in areas that may appear more innovative than Council. I thought, maybe, I’d have a more ‘exciting’ project but it’s important work that people do at Council. It does matter. “It’s definitely not the most ‘glamorous’ work at a sewage treatment plant, but it is worthwhile,” she said. While she intends returning to Sydney once her project ends, she has enjoyed her bush sojourn so much, she would consider a move to the country in the future. “I’ve got a friend who’s doing medicine at Sydney, and they have to do a rural rotation, and I’m definitely going to recommend Orange!” she said.

City girl Claudia Jerogin was surprised at Colour City friendliness:

...I was not aware how welcoming and kind they would be; I’ve been really surprised.”

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

When I was a little girl, I was always puzzled when my grandmother, Mary Cassin, referred to England as “home”.

Steve agreed that Biggles played a big role in defending the Empire, but he was also impressed by Robin Hood.

As far as I knew she had never been out of Australia. Indeed, she was born and grew up in the town of Mudgee and lived in Orange for much of her life. Perhaps she was influenced when very young, by this piece which appeared in 'The Sydney Morning Herald' on 3rd March, 1885. “Tuesday will be forever a red letter day in the history of New South Wales— the day in which this colony, not yet 100 years old, put forth the claims to be recognised as an integral part of the British Empire… yesterday the picked men of the colony embarked for the purpose of assisting the British in the Soudan…” In 1900, Australians were once again called to the side of the British in the Boer War, but were beginning to feel a pride in their own native country. AB Paterson, war correspondent, told of our troops guiding the British across a ford over the Madder River. “A thing”, he wrote, “that may mean a small matter to Australians, but which would be a long way beyond the average English tommy.” Less than twenty years later, our soldiers were still displaying a typical Australian attitude of cheerful defiance. In the First World War, another correspondent, Charles Bean, described a scene on the dreadful killing fields of France: “Down the track came men, limping, in twos and threes, slowly. They were wounded from the great battle, but held themselves with a stubborn erectness which said as plainly as in words: ‘Let no one pity me.'

Imperialism Once again we rallied to the cause in 1939. In sombre tones, announcing our entry into World War II, RG Menzies said: “Great Britain has declared war on Germany and, as a result, Australia is also at war.” Things were changing though, and, in 1941 the then-Prime Minister, John Curtin, revealed as much in his speech at a time when Australia faced invasion from the north. “I make it quite clear that Australia looks to America, free of any pangs as to our traditional links or kinship to the United Kingdom.” He added: “We know that Australia can go and Britain can still hold on. We are therefore determined that Australia shall not go and we shall extend all our energies towards shaping a plan, with the United States as its keystone……to hold out until the tide of battle swings against the enemy.” With all this in mind, I talked recently with a group of present-day Australians. We were discussing the rather weighty topic of the changing attitudes to British Imperialism from the Nation’s birth to the 21st century. As usual, the

ages of the participants ranged from people in their 80s down to two in their early 20s. All except the two youngest remembered celebrating Empire Day in their school-days. They conjured up images of huge bonfires, crackers, a half-day holiday from school and generally much merriment. Did anyone remember that it was Queen Victoria’s birthday that they were celebrating? The answer was a resounding ‘No! It was interesting, though, to talk about the influences that our British heritage had on most people's early lives. The books we read, the history we learned, the poetry, nursery rhymes and games were all inherited from what was called 'The Mother Country.' Bill described his childhood enjoyment of the boys’ magazines, “Triumph” and “Champion,” which were very much based in England. Later, the detective stories of Dorothy L Sayers convinced him that he must sometime go and see these places that she described so vividly. Joan read Enid Blyton and “Biggles” as a little girl.

Kathy had an English grandmother who offered her books about the “little princesses,” in which, Kathy confessed she was distinctly uninterested. However, in 1954, the radiant young Queen Elizabeth stepped ashore in Sydney to the delight of huge crowds. Ruby remembers people in the bush travelling hundreds of miles to Dubbo to catch a glimpse and wave a flag. But, we were moving inexorably on and a few cracks were appearing in our relationship with the “Mother Country.” In 1931 the British Empire had become the Commonwealth of Nations and 50 years later, in 1981, the Church of England officially became known as The Anglican Church of Australia. We all agreed that, while we now felt ourselves to be entirely Australian, most still have sentimental links to our English heritage. Sam still feels an affinity with England and acknowledges that it is part of our history. The face of Australia is rapidly changing and those with inherent ties to other countries are being absorbed into our population. The group was optimistic in its conclusion. “We have such a blessed country, with people who have enriched us”, said Jenny. “I think we can listen to and respect others’ history. Ours is now to go forward together,” added Joan. And Cassie, our youngest member summed up firmly: ”I feel completely Australian!” Copyright Helen McAnulty

The day Philip and Queen visited “Email” in Orange

Passing of current monarch Queen Elizabeth’s consort, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, recalled a famous visit to the Orange Email (later, Electrolux) whitegoods factory by the Royal couple in April 1970. There was some controversy over the venue for the tour — described at the time as a “dirty, old factory” — as a suitable site for the Royals; though it was later revealed that the Queen had personally-requested a visit to a decentralised manufacturing facility in a country area. “There was a lot of tidying-up. The gardens were in pristine condition and it was a really hyped event for us all, especially for the female staff who were all keen to see the Prince and the Queen,” a worker at the factory remembered later. Staff also formed a guard of honour to farewell the couple as they exited the facility. (Pictures, Orange District Historical Society).

The monthly Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association (ORRA) meeting held on Wednesday 7th April at the Orange Ex Services Club had Council’s Chief Executive Officer, David Waddell as it’s guest speaker in an informal atmosphere.

separate Development Applications for different elements of the project, being decided by different consent authorities was explained by the CEO as being the result of the deadlines attached by the NSW Government to the funding.

David updated the meeting on recent achievements and future plans of Orange City Council, including briefing members on the issues resolved at the Council meeting of 6th April; the sale of redundant assets; Future City plans for the Orange CBD and the September local government elections.

The members discussed agendas for future monthly meetings. A proposed ORRA submission to Council’s budget for 2021/2022 will be discussed at the May meeting, and Waste Management will be the topic for the June meeting. Speakers on the East Orange public housing issue and speakers for and against the proposed Mount Canobolas Mountain Bike Trails are being sought to address the meeting to be held on Wednesday 5th May at 7p.m. at the Orange Ex Services Club. Members of the public very welcome to attend.

The CEO also answered questions from several members on a variety of issues including the proposal to locate the $25 million sports stadium at South Bloomfield. Concerns were expressed by ORRA members including the potential traffic issues if the 10,000 capacity sports stadium is located on Forest Road that also deals with emergency traffic for the Hospital and Cadia mine.

ORANGE MENS PROBUS CLUB NOTES with Keith Rawsthorne It was “silence in the Court”, when Barrister Bill Walsh rose to talk at this month’s Probus meeting; but more of that later.

CUMNOCK MARKET - The Friendly place to visit!

President Tony Reppen presented his Annual Report before handing over the reins to incoming President David Ironside, and Vice President John Read. Tony thanked all committee members for their work and support. Tony has worked assiduously to maintain the FUN AND FELLOWSHIP of Probus in a year hampered by the restrictions of Covid 19. An interesting, informative and inspiring guest speaker has addressed each monthly meeting, and more are planned. April meeting heard from Matt Armstrong from Cadia. In May we’ll see films of “Farming in the 1930s”, and in June we will have local author Elizabeth Edwards, who will present her book on the historic, pioneer Dalton family of Orange. Last week 20 members were treated to guided tour of the new ultramodern D.P.I. building in Orange with all its new style of working. The whole thing is technologically connected, nobody has his own desk – just plug in and go to work, no paper to be seen. Tours are being planned to Parkes, 12th May to visit The Dish, and also a trip to Dubbo to visit the Royal Flying Doctor Base. There’s plenty to do, so get involved. Congratulations to Birthday Boys Richard Niven and Tom Hogan. Peter Locke was introduced by Knox O’Neal and welcomed into the Probus. Visitors welcomed were Austin Taylor and Martin Sparkes. Life Membership was bestowed on Dick Page in recognition of his long service to Probus. Barrister Bill Walsh, who began his working life as a Police officer, was introduced by David Ironside (who claimed to have mentored Bill in his Law Study, but Bill with a typical grin, said he failed all those tests). Bill did his first Degree and Masters at Macquarie, then lectured at CSU before he “went to the Bar”, where he mostly dealt in criminal/police matters.

A Barrister’s relationship to a solicitor is similar to a Medical Specialist to a G.P. He advises solicitors and advocates in Court. Judges must be treated with great respect. A Barrister is a “sole trader” and can’t have partners, is subject to strict ethics, and his first duty is to the Court. He has no business asset to sell when he retires, which may justify high fees. He has to work to the “cab rank” system, which means he must take all cases offered to him, even when there is obvious guilt of a terrible crime. He must fearlessly defend the client, as everyone, under our Law is entitled to a fair trial. Cases must be proved beyond reasonable doubt by the prosecution. Some quick points; a Barrister is servant of all, yet of none. A Criminal Defense Barrister works in the District Court of NSW. Judge alone cases are becoming more popular, but Bill likes the Jury. Common sense must apply. Barrister must have education, training and experience. There are very few really evil people. Cases can be interesting and sad. There has been Police corruption, but it’s getting better. Drugs are a big problem in crime, with police and Ambos being assaulted. Mental illness makes crime. There are now 40,000 prisoners in NSW with a lack of rehabilitation or follow up. The Jury system is being eroded, and media is upsetting the “presumption of innocence”. Tony Reppen moved the vote of thanks and made a presentation to Bill for a most interesting presentation. Orange Men’s Probus next meets first Wednesday of each month. Visitors welcome, Keep smiling, and we’ll see you then.

The next Market will be held on

Saturday 17th April from 9am to 12 noon at Crossroads Park Cumnock (opposite General Store) With lots of fabulous country cooks our fresh cakes and biscuits are legendary. So too are the jams, chutneys and pickles. It’s a great opportunity to stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables. There are always stalls with beautiful locally made craft items. The Market is a registered COVID-Safe organization.

CWA BORENORE OPEN DAY Traditionally during FOOD Week, the Borenore Branch of the Country Women’s Association serves Devonshire Teas at the Borenore Fair. The Fair was not held last year and nor this year. Though Borenore CWA will hold an Open Day at the Borenore Hall on Saturday April 17 from 10-2pm at the CWA Memorial Hall Borenore, on Convent Road, Borenore. Along with selling yummy Devonshire Tea, the CWA team will also have books, bric-a-brac, plants and the everpopular home baked items.

Visitors will be asked for their name and contact details to allow contact tracing (if required),

The ladies will also be selling tickets in a 100 Club ($5 ticket could win you $150 or $75 or $25)

and will be expected to practise social distancing.

These funds go towards assisting CWA Branch’s hall maintenance costs. As with so many organisations, COVID19 left them with no incoming funds in the past year.

Visitors, or anyone, or anyone wishing to have a stall, can get further information from

Wild Chicory — by Kim Kelly —

Wild Chicory is the story of a journey from Ireland to Australia in the early 1900’s, along threads of love, family, war and peace. It’s a slice of ordinary life rich in history, folklore and fairy tale, and a portion of the precious bond between a granddaughter, Brigid, and her grandmother, Nell.

Orange City Life is pleased to be able to bring you this entertaining book in serial form of the coming 10 weeks. Our sincere thanks to Author Kim Kelly for giving us this special privilege.

GOOD WHITE BREAD The good white bread comes in tubes, from town. Pipe loaves, they’re called. My grandmother carefully slices down the faint pipe lines in the circle crust with her feather knife. The handle of the knife is the colour of a dog bone, and the feathers are steel teeth – they will shred your fingers, if you’re not careful. The house is quiet downstairs; it’s just me and Grandma here, up in her flat, in her kitchen. ‘How do they get the bread out of the pipe?’ I ask her. I’m wondering at the lines in the crust: they bump along the loaf like the pipe might be made out of corrugated iron – tiny corrugated iron, though. I can’t work it out. ‘Wouldn’t it get stuck?’ ‘Don’t addle me,’ she says, slicing, slicing. Her hips sway at the kitchen bench, her elbow sawing, sawing. Every slice is exactly the same size; I can’t imagine ever being able to do that. She’s making toast, for lunch. She always has

40 APRIL 15—21, 2021

two slices, which she butters and then squishes a whole banana between with the back of a fork, but she doesn’t usually have the pipe loaf bread, the good white bread, just for this sort of everyday lunch if it’s just us, and she’s up to slice number eight now. I don’t think we’re expecting anyone to come round today. Maybe she’s hungry. But I can’t imagine that, either: she never eats more than what she calls an ‘elegant sufficiency’. Mum says that just means she doesn’t want to get fat. Mum always teases Grandma for being so vain, for being so slim and dyeing her hair. ‘There’s nothing wrong with taking care of your appearance,’ Grandma would always laugh back. She is beautiful, my grandmother: she piles up her red curls so that squiggly tendrils frame her face and make her eyes bluer than blue, and she makes all her own clothes – she makes all of mine, too. She’s always the most fashionable lady at mass. Today, she’s wearing her lolly-pink skirt with the white stitching, and her pink-and-whitestriped blouse. Normally, she giggles a lot, even at mass. It’s the only time you can really see her wrinkles, when she giggles at something silly – especially when it’s at something Father Jovanovic has said, but Mum says that’s just

because he’s too handsome. Grandma’s not even smiling now, though. She’s very sad at the moment, so I’m not going to addle her. I’m trying to be quiet. Granddad’s never coming home again, that’s why she’s so sad. He had a stroke three Tuesdays ago, on his way home from work. He didn’t have to go to work – he’s retired. He only goes in to help the new man make sense of all the orders when it’s busy. They work in a huge refrigerator, making sure that all the thousands of bottles of flavoured milk and cartons of yoghurt get on the trucks and into the shops and all get paid for. Well, Granddad used to, anyway. He used to bring home strawberry milk and apricot yoghurt – my favourites. That’s not going to happen anymore. I sleep in the big bed with Grandma now to keep Granddad’s side from getting cold. No-one asked me to; I just do. I don’t want her to read in bed alone. She reads doctor-and-nurse romance novels from the library, ‘to give her brain a rest,’ she says; and I read Nancy Drew detective mysteries – I’m collecting them. I love the name Nancy, it’s so pretty. My name is Brigid, and I don’t always like it. Bridge. Bridgey. Brigid. It’s

an old-fashioned name. ‘A big name for a little girl,’ Mum always says. It’s a name I have to live up to. It’s my grandmother’s confirmation name, and my great-grandmother’s Christian name, apart from being Saint Brigid’s name in the first place. Brigid stands for being kind to the poor, healing sores, and, most importantly, being good at making cakes. I’m much more expert at licking the bowl clean – that’s the fault of my middle name, Danielle, Grandma says. I wish I could make her laugh right now. I can’t imagine how much she is missing Granddad. I miss him. I miss the rough way he rubbed my hair with the towel after Grandma washed it on Saturday afternoons. ‘You’ll rub her scalp off her head one day,’ she would tell him from the kitchen. I would say, ‘Ouch!’ But I didn’t mean it. I loved the way my head would bobble about in his big, rough hands, cigarette in the corner of his mouth, ash falling off the end and onto the carpet. Grandma says it’s good for keeping the moths away – cigarette ash on the carpet. Mum says cigarettes killed Granddad. I heard her whispering it to Dad in the bathroom downstairs, when she went in there to have a cry. I look down at the carpet now, into the orangeand-brown swirls under the chair I’m sitting on. It’s Granddad’s usual chair. He would sit here, on this side of the kitchen table, where there’s lounge-room carpet on the floor, reading the newspaper, smoking his cigarette. I wonder how much cigarette ash is in there, in this bit of carpet. I look right under the table: there’s not a speck of dust in the tiny lines that go along the strip of golden metal that divides off the loungeroom-carpet side from the kitchen-vinyl-tiles side. It’s one long room up here in Grandma’s flat, a lounge room with a kitchen at one end, where the stove and the sink and the cupboards are – she designed it all this way herself. When I sit up straight in the chair again, a line of sunlight is going across my knees, coming through the open slits in the blinds behind me. I swing my legs out from under the chair. My legs are skinny and brown; bruised and spotted with mosquito bites. It’s hot. I should go and play outside in the shade of the house, maybe see who’s home over the road, see if Sharon is back from the shops yet, but I don’t want to leave Grandma alone, not now while she’s being so strange about the toast. It’s school holidays, luckily, so I can be here at home with her. I don’t normally like school holidays that much. It’s so boring, especially the long summer holidays. It’s too hot to think properly. But I’m glad it’s holidays this time. Shane and Tim, my brothers, are at Aunty

Jeannie and Uncle Vic’s in Campbelltown, on the farm, probably playing cricket with our cousins there, Matt and Jason. I’m glad they’re not here – they’re too loud, always smashing around inside or outside. The yard is too small to get away from them, and they just get bigger and teenage-stinkier every day. Anyone would think there were ten of them, not two. I never want to go to high school, where there would be more than a hundred of them. Over my shoulder, through the blinds, I look out past the back fence and across the iron rooftops all the way to town. We live up on the hill, in Marrickville, so we can see right into Sydney. Australia Square is round, a pipe loaf standing up out of the ground, with its corrugated bumps gone all wobbly in the heat – the whole city looks like it’s melting. It’s 1976, January something. Wednesday. Mr Whitlam made a sticky mess of things before Christmas and he’s not Prime Minister anymore – he got the sack. Dad told Mum maybe that’s what made Granddad have such a bad stroke. ‘Oh you stupid—’ Grandma’s suddenly rousing at the sink. I turn back around and see the smoke curling up from the toaster. She’s burnt the first lot of toast, and now she’s grabbing it out to scrape off the charcoal into the sink with the flat back of the feather knife. She’s angry as she does it: scraping, scraping. Scraping off the black. ‘No, I am not wearing black,’ is what she said on the morning of Granddad’s funeral. She was angry then, much more angry. She said to the crucifix on the wall above the bed: ‘Steven would never approve of my wearing black in any circumstance – we go our own way, always have, always will.’ She didn’t know I was watching as she prayed there on her knees at the end of the bed that morning; she was having an argument with God, it sounded like. I don’t think she saw me at all for a couple of days. She probably didn’t look at God, either. I wasn’t allowed to go with her to the funeral, but I wish I could have. We always sit together at mass. I wish I could make her happy again. Happy in her eyes, like the way she used to look at Granddad. We were all so happy at Christmas, just when the holidays started – Grandma bought Granddad some smart new handkerchiefs, and he really loved them even though they’re only handkerchiefs. That was only five days before – it just doesn’t seem fair. ‘I don’t mind the burnt ones,’ I tell her now in a rush, and it’s true, I like the burnt ones best – I like them with vegemite and no butter, so that Mum says I’m too fussy and Grandma says it’s

not being too fussy to know what you want. ‘Save them for me. Please.’ I don’t know if she heard me, though. She just stands there at the sink, staring at the wall, like she’s looking for something in the daisy tiles there. She’s looking for Granddad – I might be only nine years old, but I know that. I’m looking for him, too. I’m looking for something to make Grandma turn around to see me. Something not silly. Something to take us away, somewhere else, far away. I know … ‘Tell me the story about the little boy and the fire,’ I ask her, and if she tells me to be quiet it doesn’t matter. ‘Tell me about little Pete, tell me the fire tale,’ I ask her again, and I do want to hear the story. I’ve heard it ten times, probably, the fire tale. Fire tail: it makes me think of a dragon’s tail right now, swirling orange and brown through the air, over the rooftops, swirling us backwards in time, to the days when she was a girl. A little girl called Nell. ‘Tell me about when you were small. Please, Grandma?’ But still she doesn’t say anything. She puts the kettle on, and then she lights her cigarette. I think maybe I should make lunch for Grandma, rather than the other way round, but before I go to get up off the chair to do that, she turns to me, and she smiles. It’s sad, but it’s a smile, and I smile back at her.

— AUTHOR NOTE —

Fact and fiction always play a merry game in my tales and Wild Chicory is no exception. I’ve thieved much of its truth and its hea rt from the lore of my Irish family – the Kellys and the O’Reillys – and I’ve pinched others from my hus band, Dean’s family, the Brownlees and the O’Bree s, especially from Aunty Yvonne. The rest is bla rney. This is a story spun from my admiration for the economic refugees who have contributed to Australia from all over the wor ld, all you brave wanderers, the ordinary har d-working dreamers who have made and continu e to make our country what it is: a colourful patchw ork of beauty and bigotry both, all sewn togeth er with love. And no small part of its intricately cra zed design is Irish. Indeed, Australia remains pro portionately the most Irish country outside Irel and. But most of all, Wild Chicory is the story of how I came to be a writer myself, by the love of those who fed my soul their own sto ries when I was small, especially my grandmother, Lillian. To those who have helped brin g this story into the world, thankyou is never a larg e enough word. Lou Johnson, my inspiring publish er, and Alex Nahlous, my excellent editor, as well as all those comrades and readers who egged me on along the way: this book wouldn’t be here withou t you. So, slàinte, friends – I hope you enjoyed the tale.

MASSIVE THUMBS DOWN to the people who are in charge of fixing the lights over the pedestrian foot bridge at the railway, they are out again! Maybe you should get them replaced with solar lights. They might work then!

THUMBS UP to the medical staff and nurses at the Cardiology unit at the Orange Hospital. From reception till the time I was flown to Sydney, the care and attention I received was outstanding. My wife and I were kept fully-informed on the results of all tests and the future plans for my transfer to Sydney for ongoing treatment. I cannot thank them enough. THUMBS DOWN to the two bicycle riders who cut me off when I was driving home on Friday afternoon from work. You do know there is a bike lane for a reason and you are also supposed to signal motorists when turning-off? A BIG THUMBS UP to Beth in Kitchen Appliances at Harvey Norman. If every retailer had a ‘Beth’ on their staff, business would be booming. Thank-you Beth. Keep-up the good work. THUMBS UP for Orange City Council if they put the new car park behind Woolworths and a sky bridge to the Orange Arcade. Also traffic lights at the pedestrian crossing on Anson Street between Woolworths and the City Centre.

THUMBS DOWN to the mower

BIG THUMBS DOWN to NSW Government and Service NSW with trying to apply to get the Dine and Discover vouchers. Went to the Orange Service NSW three times. First visit didn’t even go in as the place was overflowing with customers. Second visit, we were told it would be an hour wait, come back after 2pm. Third visit we sat and waited an hour and left. Lady at the entry desk gave us a number to phone. This I did. Recorded message said “we are experiencing high volume of calls”. After waiting on phone for over half an hour, I gave up on that one too. I think the government has “bitten off more than they can chew on this one.” Not everyone has smart phones or can do this online.

contractor who mowed our neighbours’ lawn, spraying our driveway with grass cuttings and didn’t bother to attempt to clear them up. Have some respect for other people’s property. THUMBS DOWN to people who feel the need to abuse retail staff. We are people with feelings, not robots with no emotions. Your abuse will not make me help you. Kindness goes a long way!

THUMBS UP to the local GP clinics delivering the COVID-19 vaccinations to our vulnerable populations throughout the Orange regions. Thank-you for helping those who need it most. Thank-you to Drs Whitmill and Awadalla for staying beyond regular hours to allow people with jobs to access the COVID vaccine. Thank-you RN Ellie for being so caring and gentle in administering the vaccination. Thank-you Janene for organising the vaccination clinics.

The leaves are turning and the air is fresh! Autumn is here and it’s a beautiful time of year to be in glorious, colourful Orange! But the chill in the air at night can trigger the first signs of a painful condition in our pets.

Arthritis affects many pets – the figures are surprisingly high. Around one in five dogs and one in three cats! Arthritis is caused in pets just as in humans – damage to a joint causes inflammation and pain. Movement is restricted and pain can become constant for your furry friend. Arthritis is made worse by injury, by age or by general wear and tear. But it’s not just a condition that affects elderly animals – some breeds of dog are more prone to arthritis, and any overweight pet is at risk. Pets can’t tell us how they are feeling – so what signs should a caring owner look for?

Your puppy needs protection from a nasty parasite called Heartworm. It’s passed on by the bite of an infected mosquito. Tiny larvae are injected into your dog’s skin and can grow into adult worms in the heart and lungs. New research has shown Heartworm has spread to the Central West. The parasite has been found in dogs and in foxes locally – just one bite from an infected mosquito puts your dog, in Orange, in danger.
