THIS WEEK’S COVER
It’s still a bit early to get too excited but judging by the amount of advertising we’re starting to get back into OC Life after the early impact of COVID, it does appear businesses are starting to get more confident about the future. We sure need that. Advertising, like many other things, requires a good deal of skill to go about it in the right way and here at OCL Life we like to think we have the right product and the right people to help businesses get their advertising right. On that note, I would encourage any business wanting to gain a few more customers, to consider our inexpensive classified deals, they’re very cheap and have proven highly effective for many local tradies, service providers and other businesses. It’s a great and cheap way to keep your name and details in front of our community on a regular basis.

Rhonda Burchmore is GLAMAZONIA: A Powerhouse Musical Extravaganza coming to Orange this Weekend — SAMUEL RODWELL —
“It’s a high-octane show, I’m so excited, we’re bringing incredible dancers with a band, I guarantee the Orange audience will enjoy the live entertainment.” Coming out of recording a new album across the weekend, showbusiness icon Rhonda Burchmore says it’s been “go-go-go” for her when our conversation began over the phone last Monday morning. And that’s before mentioning her exciting new live theatrical show Rhonda Burchmore is GLAMAZONIA, coming to Orange Civic Theatre this Saturday night, May 1st. The musical signifies a celebration for Burchmore’s 40-year career in the entertainment business. “I know it seems impossible”, Rhonda laughs before she continues, “But I’ve been in the media industry for 40 years this year. What this show is about is a celebration of all things great about the show business.” And what a career Burchmore is still maintaining, spanning live theatre performances where she’s appeared in the original Mamma Mia! on stage to where it all began for her on Variety Television Shows across Australia, some you may remember Hey Hey Its Saturday. Rhonda explains, “My Mum used to make all my costumes and she said to me, ‘You know if you’re going on stage you’ve got to be glamorous,’” this motherly advice is where Rhonda’s unique title for her musical GLAMAZONIA has its origins. A duel meaning of glamour and Amazonian, it represents Burchmore perfectly as she gleefully added, “I guess it’s a combination of me being tall, glamorous and there’s never too much bling or high heels.” She quickly makes note to her recent time on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here filmed in the South African jungle, “When I went into Celebrity, everything was stripped back, and I had to survive there with nothing for all of Australia to watch.” Certainly, far removed from the glamour of the fantastic musical extravaganzas Burchmore is accustomed to. “When
rollercoaster, there’s good times and there’s not so great times in my life that appear in the show’s story, I think people will be able to relate to that.”
I got out of the jungle, was the first time I heard about COVID-19. Last year, I had a whole complete diary full with big musicals, concerts around Australia... everything and one by one they were all like dominos falling – all cancelled.”
Writing GLAMAZONIA for all ages, Rhonda recently discovered she has a younger fan base since her stint on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. “If Mum or Grandma wants to invite the kids along, that’s awesome. Hopefully, what those kids take away from the show is follow your dreams.”
Proudly she says, “I survived that”, alluding to GLAMAZONIA leaning into her survival on I’m a Celebrity to surviving four decades within such a cutthroat business as inspiration thematically for her new musical. But also, what Rhonda’s 40-year career encapsulates – is survival. Rhonda explains, “The show for me, I’m really proud of it, I keep bringing up this word survival and that’s what I’m most proud about, apart from having a great family around me, is just surviving the show business. You have artists who appear for a few years and then they disappear without a trace, I’ve actively been proactive in trying to recreate myself as much as I can – everything from musicals to recordings and that’s what I’m most proud that I’m still here… and still doing what I love.” Burchmore developed the show during COVID-19 lockdowns, “I was in Victoria with three lockdowns, I just needed something to keep me active, for my mental health and that’s when I wrote the show. It was a great time to review and reflect upon, what I have done. I thought I would put that together last year. And here it is now.” Despite the dreadful situation of the pandemic and the severe impacts upon the entertainment industry as a result, it could be stated Burchmore had the perfect conditions to have complete focus on crafting her most personal show yet. “I guarantee with this show I will make people laugh and I will make them cry because it’s a very personal show. It’s like a
As the conversation continues Rhonda references some of her heroes that have influenced her career, “My role models that I aspire to are artists like Cher, Tina Turner and Madonna... you look at those girls who are still kicking down boundaries at a certain age. I think that’s what I aspire to and there’s a big message in that no matter how old you are, if you love what you do keep doing it,” Rhonda conveys optimistically.
...There’s a big message in that no matter how old you are, if you love what you do keep doing it...
“After a year away from the theatre, it is such a strange thing to get back into it. You had to almost retrain people to get them back into live theatre. As soon as you go, you’re saying, ‘oh my gosh, this is what I’ve missed.’ I was climbing the walls throughout COVID-19 because if I did another Zoom or virtual concert, I’d go insane,” Burchmore says with a laugh. The word of mouth for Rhonda Burchmore is GLAMAZONIA is incredibly positive. “People are telling me I’m so glad I got out, off my lounge away from the telly, going back into the theatre. Everyone that’s seen the show, they said it was so worth it – it’s just a really good night out. There are show tunes, we jumped from Katy Perry to Alana Del Rey to Cher to all sorts of things that aren’t necessarily musical theatre, but they’re songs that fit the story. We do a bit of everything. It’s a real powerhouse ride.”

STILL WIGGLING, 30 YEARS LATER

Just like that, the Wiggles have turned 30! Who would have thought that Australia’s own kids’ super group would still be going strong after all these years? I’m a Wiggles’ parent… though my own experience in fact goes back to before their founding in 1991. Original Wiggles, Anthony Field and Jeff Fatt, were lead guitarist and keyboardist for pub-band par excellence, “The Cockroaches”, whom I saw about a dozen times. Great live, their singles, however, sounded like they had been recorded in a bathroom and their music videos filmed by a 10-year-old. Ironic, since the Wiggles developed from a Macquarie University assignment where Anthony was studying teaching. It was here he created an album of children’s music after enlisting Murray Cook, Greg Page, and Fatt to assist him. They then began touring and became so successful, they quit their teaching jobs. So, it was with a certain recognition that our eldest son received his first Wiggle’s video, from his grandmother. “Remember this crowd?” I asked my wife, little reckoning on the transformation this seemingly-innocent event would have on our daily lives. Our second son became so obsessed with this recording, that we would be woken at 3am every morning to put the video on to watch it again, often for three separate times! We would take turns to endure this mesmerising torment and had trouble going a day without humming their catchy songs as we went about our routine, half-asleep. More videos (this was before we had a DVD player) followed in quick succession. Without realising, we had become initiands into the Wiggles cannon of songs and characters — Dorothy the Dinosaur, Wags the Dog,
Henry the Octopus, and Captain Feathersword. In fact, it was Captain Feathersword who provided our son’s greatest Wiggles’ memory. Going to his first concert at Orange Ex-Services Club in the late 1990s, he requisitioned an old bush hat with a feather in it and a bottle brush to mimic the good Captain. Presuming that the recorded music in the hall was in fact the concert, he was stunned when the “real” Captain Feathersword took a quick peak at the audience from behind the stage curtain. This amazement was compounded when the Wiggles then appeared and pointed-out my son’s outfit (rather shabby, by comparison with the new merchandise of most of the other children) and addressed him directly as “Ahoy, Captain Feathersword”. My wife, a pre-school teacher, thought it a lovely touch. We were also first in line for the Wiggles Movie launched the same day, as fate would have it, (December 18, 1997), as that other cinematic masterpiece, Titanic! The plot — involving hapless magician “Wally the Great” stealing Greg’s Magic Wand — was a touch light, but it did star the inestimable Joanne Samuel as Mrs Bingle. My other great Wiggles memory was their determination to continue their American tour after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Their tour included a Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade appearance in New York at a time when many professional artists and sporting teams were refusing to even fly within their own countries. They’ve all changed now, the gang, and I wish sometimes that, like the Beatles, they had split-up when Greg first retired due to ill-health in 2006 — instead of becoming the Rolling Stones of kids live-shows.

Heavy lifting for RMHC — MELISE COLEMAN —
Participants in the World Raw Powerlifting Federation (WRPF) competition, hosted on April 10 and 11, taking place at One Strength Gym in Moulder Street, took charge and completed the heavy lifting for Ronald McDonald House Charities.
Jodie and her husband, chef Jamie Stewart of Café Connect, are part of the fundraising committee at Ronald McDonald House Charities Orange.
Not only did many of the participants exceed their personal best, but the day was also a wonderful opportunity for everyone involved to raise funds to support families who stay at Ronald McDonald House Charities Orange.
“It was a fantastic day all round and everyone was so generous,” she said. Mr Davis said the competition was a qualifying event for the WRPF national titles to be held in September this year.
The event attracted 14 female and 31 male participants from all over New South Wales including Gosford, Wagga Wagga, and towns from across the central west, along with interstate competitors from Canberra and Melbourne.
Since Ronald McDonald House Charities Orange opened almost five years ago, 856 families have stayed at the house from towns in the central and far west for a total of 7,003 nights, with all accommodation and services provided free of charge.
One Strength owner Lyle Davis said everyone involved was thrilled to be able to raise $1,600 to be donated to RMHC Orange.

Program Coordinator for the sheep husbandry field day at Orange, Ben Watts: “Looking to the future, agriculture is the new mining.”
Making money from agriculture; local kids enjoy “the new mining” — BY DAVID DIXON —
Post-mining boom has witnessed renewed interest in agriculture as a vocation with a recent field day at Orange Anglican School enjoying a full-house. competition for that school.
The event welcomed students from a number of local schools entering a unique sheep-husbandry competition that has grown year-on-year. The competition involves teams from each school having responsibility for the care, feeding, and health of about six sheep — all from one flock up to slaughter — with the final price raised by each mob going into a points table to determine the winning school. ”It’s to encourage kids to engage with agriculture and stemmed out of the NSW School Wether trials,” Program Coordinator Ben Watts said. The competition is based on a fairly simple premise, those sheep that do the best, win the
“We’ve used a nucleus flock and each school has six sheep from that nucleus flock and it’s up to the school to manage and run them for six months,” Ben explained. “In August, they all come back to Dubbo where every sheep is shorn, they’re slaughtered (over the hook), and then commercial values are applied to determine their scores.” Regional schools involved in the field day other than Orange Anglican included Orange High School, Kinross Wolaroi, James Sheahan, Scots-All Saints at Bathurst, and Red Bend from Forbes. Ben said that new technologies including
computer modelling, drones for inspecting stock remotely, and satellite and aerial vegetation mapping, have brought agriculture into the new millennium.
day which included presentations by a group of industry representatives ranging from wool classing, nutrition, regenerative agriculture, to drones and technology.
“It’s now a 21st century industry, if they wish to engage in it,” Ben said.
“This day is aimed at providing training, so the kids understand their responsibility to make money from them,” Ben added.
The competition is a product of the NSW Merino Stud Breeders Association — who provide the sheep to the schools — and the Australian Wool Innovation group. “This competition has been exploding in the last two years, students are now learning about the global food and fibre shortage with some really good Australian subsets for growth of these industries,” Ben said. Approximately 100 students attended the
“I love agriculture, I live on a farm at Millthorpe,” one of the students said at the day. “Schools that do well, want to sign-up each year,” Ben said. “It now involves 60 schools all the way from Ballarat to the Queensland border.” “Looking to the future, agriculture is the new mining,” he concluded.
Our results do the talking… ‘Jess, you are wonderful. Thanks for finding our tenant for us - we have no S T Ycommitment LE SHEET doubt his evident to maintenance and care for the property is due to the positive relationship you have fostered. Thank you.’

A recent special presentation at Orange Library focusing on prevention of elder abuse represented the first steps in reducing a problem that affects all levels of society, a leading local researcher in the field said. “It doesn’t know any class distinctions, it can happen in the swishiest house in town or out in the back-blocks, it doesn’t matter; it’s a classless problem, and it’s going to get worse,” Director and Researcher with the Australian Centre for Elder Law, Adjunct Associate Professor at Charles Sturt University, Sue Field explained. Highlighting the problems was partly the purpose of the ‘Older, Wiser Safer’ events held in conjunction with the NSW Seniors Festival and hosted by the Central West Region Collaborative for the Prevention of Abuse of Older People.
verbal abuse; communications and mediation, and financial information services available to the elderly. Assoc Prof Field believes that elder abuse is hidden because of embarrassment and shame by the victims. “The reason it is hidden, is because it is often perpetrated by the older children of the parent,” she said. “With an ageing population I think it is only going to get worse, and that is why we have to do something about it.” The two COVID-safe seminars at the Orange Library — supporters of the program — included: • Solicitor Jill Marshall from Legal Aid NSW, who spoke about phone and internet scams. • Aged Crime Prevention Officer, Detective Senior Constable Warwick Campbell, speaking about physical safety and prevention of abuse.
“This seminar is the first of our events,” Assoc Prof Field said. “It came out of an initiative of the newly-appointed Ageing and Disability Commissioner in NSW.”
• Adjunct Professor Sue Field (pictured), in relation to financial safety and power of attorney.
“My area of expertise is elder law and how it affects older people,” she said before the seminar in which she spoke on Financial Safety and Power of Attorney.

Assoc Prof Field explained that the Collaborative — being officially launched mid-year — is designed to pull-together interested parties from the sector to ensure a more cohesive and integrated approach to combat abuse of the elderly in our society. “It’s made up of people from organisations that service the elderly and aged care providers; people who have an older client base and that can support each other with information and help,” she said. Police Local Area Commands, including in Orange, have recently also had Aged Crime Prevention Officers appointed to focus on this previously-neglected area and who are working in concert with the Collaborative. “While our official launch is in June, we’ve already had about four meetings a month or two apart, but this is our first seminar,” Assoc Prof Field said. “As our society ages, it is going to become a greater problem and that is why efforts like the Collaborative are so important. “Simply put, people just don’t talk about it,” Assoc Prof Field concluded.

Looking for a post-COVID boost, Orange Senior Citizens Orange President Pat Downey; Treasurer Ken Murchie, and volunteer Merrilyene Randall.
TIME TO DRAW-BACK THE CURTAINS, ORANGE SENIOR CITIZENS SAY It’s time that many of our elderly now receiving the COVID vaccine start looking at getting back into life, Pat Downey believes. COVID-19 knocked the socks-off groups for the elderly like Orange Senior Citizens who are only now starting to recover. The group is looking to recruit new members and is aiming for a post-lockdown boom for the elderly who want some good fun and fine company. It’s a hard-slog though, Orange President Pat Downey admits, with many of our most mature even now reluctant to return to their lives prepandemic. Yet groups like Orange Senior Citizens should become more important as our society ages and people live so much longer. “COVID has really quietened it down, we’ve lost perhaps 50 per cent of our members since the first lockdown,” Pat says. Few cases nationwide of the coronavirus and the introduction of an effective vaccine hasn't
seen a return to the good old days as yet, she said.
congregate and mix with others,” she added.
With a flat annual membership fee of only $10 per annum and Council-run community bus to pick-up and drop-off passengers, there’s no reason not to be a member, she believes.
“We’re definitely looking for a post-COVID boost, anyone who wants to come in, we make them welcome,” she said.
One of the most active groups is their art group run by accomplished painter Wanda Driscoll which has brought-out the Rembrandt in many members.
“But a lot of our people have grown children, who’ve said, ‘you’re safer at home, you’re not going out’.”
“A lot of the members here who started and couldn’t paint are now exhibiting and selling paintings,” Pat said proudly.
Pat believes that this is exactly the wrong message to send: “I keep in contact by phone with many of these elderly people and some are not doing anything,” she said.
A hot meal is also provided at a nominal cost ($7) each Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday with a game’s morning each Wednesday.
Orange Senior Citizens Assocation is one of our longest-established groups for the elderly and is based at 77 Kite St.
Thursday mornings are likely to see a new initiative also offered following a recent grant to the group.
“It’s time to start getting back into life and put some faith in the vaccine, I’ve already had one shot,” she said. “It’s time to open the curtains,” she concluded.
“We’re here as a support group for aged 50-plus seniors,” Pat explained. “Social contact is a big thing for our members, a lot are all on their own and they like to come down and
While most seniors’ groups have suffered inordinately during the pandemic, Pat believes they are also increasingly vital to our ageing populations.
Anyone interested in joining Orange Senior Citizens can call Pat on 0448 229 125 or go to their Facebook page on: https:// www.facebook. com/orangeseniors/
“All aged groups have suffered a collapse in numbers after COVID, but, in another way they’re definitely more important than ever for the elderly in our society.” The success of the vaccine and the lack of local cases means that our honoured elderly should start to take back their lives, she says.

Dudley family grows with new services; and continuity of care At Dudley Private Hospital, it is all about family and a commitment to care going back a century. Big changes at the top private health care provider in the Colour City are seeing the expansion of a number of services. With more than 100 years as the leading private health provider in the district, Dudley offers a continuity of care and commitment to service built-up over decades. “Dudley is still number one for private health-care in the region,” Chief Executive Officer Paul McKenna said, adding that the facility is growing its service-base year-on-year. Recent areas of growth include mental health in-patient facilities and an innovative cardiology catheter service that provides world-standard cardiac imaging for an accurate diagnosis saving private patients having to otherwise travel to Sydney. “This cardiac catheterisation lab allows diagnostic and interventional cardiac procedures to be performed which ultimately provides our community with greater access to lifesaving treatments” “This is an international-standard cardiology service that really takes the pressure of Orange Base Hospital,” Paul added. The hospital offers a comprehensive range of medical and surgical services including: cardiac care; colorectal surgery; dental; dermatology; ear, nose and throat surgery; gastroenterology; general surgery; gynaecology; mental health; ophthalmology; orthopaedics; rehabilitation, and urology. “We’ve got the new cath lab, a new world-standard robotic orthopaedic service, laparoscopic cancer care, four operating theatres, and world class cardiology care unit, and a state-of-the-art mental health facility,” Paul added proudly. One of the region’s best IVF fertility clinic means that the hospital provides service to all levels of care and for all ages. “We’ve been partnered with Genea IVF for 30 years, but with the expansion of our other services, we now provide a more complete fertility service,” he said. “We’re an acute medical and surgical hospital and offer a broad range of services from fertility to palliative care and most surgical procedures in
between,” he explained. Expanded in-patient mental health facilities is an area of growth for Dudley with a number of psychiatrists also within clinics at Dudley. “We’ve now got 15 beds but are planning to expand by another 11-beds in the next 12–18 months,” Paul said. Rehabilitation is another area of specialty at Dudley’s East-Orange site where their four-decades of staffing experience provides a unique service not available elsewhere. With even further expansion of the hospital’s facility’s under way, it is the unbroken century of service to the local community that is the key to the hospital’s success, Paul believes. “Our doctors are local and are part of the community, many of our staff have been here for years, and there’s a continuity of care that you simply can’t get from other health providers,” he said. Medicine of course is only one part of the equation; nursing care and individualised treatment are essential as each patient has their own needs and requirements. ”While we are always looking at expanding our level of care, our focus has always been on working together, helping people live their best lives” Paul said, pointing-out one of the benefits of only having a 62-bed facility rather than the mega-hospitals in the major cities. As well as having that intimate level of service and individualised care, Dudley also benefits from being part of the Ramsay group of hospitals operating in 11 countries worldwide. “We’re talking about 412 hospitals that is part of a global health community,” Paul said. Plans for an expansion of the services are even now on the drawing board, he added. “We’re always looking at increasing the capability of the hospital. With a broader range of specialities and quicker access to health services, the need to go to Sydney hospitals has decreased, and will continue to do so, that is our aim,” he said. “Of course, we don’t just service Orange, patients come from throughout the central west, many from smaller towns that simply can’t provide the specialist level of care that we can here.” “We’re looking at strengthening the capability of the hospital, that’s what we want to do,” Paul concluded.
Working together, helping people live their best lives. A hospital is much more than just surgical theatres and laboratories, beds, bricks, and mortar. It is a community, and that’s what we have developed here at Dudley over the past century of service. Part of the World Standard Ramsay Health Care group, we not only provide a consistent level of individualised care to each patient, but we are also part of a family. Many of our staff have been here for years, decades even and feel that sense of worthwhile accomplishment and personal satisfaction that is the reason that we are in “the caring professions”. 12 APRIL 29 — MAY 5, 2021
Dudley is still number one for private healthcare in the region with a noble ambition to grow our service-base, year-on-year. Our comprehensive range of services now goes from fertility to palliative care and all that lies in between. This includes surgical procedures, robotics, cardiac care, rehabilitation and mental health, all in an environment where the care of each patient comes first. This doesn’t happen overnight, this commitment to service comes from people who are invested in their city or village, that live locally, and are part of their communities. Many started with us soon after training and
graduation, some have left, but many have since returned finding that Dudley is a special facility with a unique sense of family that can’t be found elsewhere, which translates to world class care. Simply put, we enjoy coming in each day, because it’s much more than a job, it’s a vocation. Working together, helping people live their best lives.
Paul McKenna,
Chief Executive Officer, Dudley Private Hospital.
Meet the team...
KIRSTY DE VRIES GP Liaison Officer
Marketing Dudley to the local general practitioner (GP) community is the exciting new role for Kirsty. “It’s about liaising with local GP’s and also GP education, about what we offer here,” Kirsty explained. “It’s a new role here; I’m the first one on-site,” she added. Her background as a long-time nurse at Dudley allows her to engage with not just local doctors but each patient: “because I know the process from admissions to discharge,” she explained. “With my experience, I can go out to GPs and explain the preferences of each of our surgeons,” she added. Twenty years a nurse, she describes Dudley as “like another family.” “I came here single, I got married when I was here, had my children, all since I’ve been here. They’re a very special group of people,” she said. “That a lot of us have been here a long time, speaks volumes,” Kirsty concluded.
MAREE STEVENS Administrative Officer
Staff Member Maree — at Dudley for only two months — has already noticed one positive feature of our longestestablished private hospital: “There’s a great sense of camaraderie amongst the staff,” she said. Having worked in both the public and private sectors “for a long time” and also with the Ramsay Health Care while in Sydney, she is one of those staff that all hospitals need to operate efficiently, the person who handles the admissions, discharges, and all that vital paperwork in between. “Everyone’s been really friendly; the staff are really welcoming and supportive. From day one, it’s been a pleasure to come here to work, it’s a very good atmosphere. “From an administrative point of view, that’s across the board,” Maree added.
NICOLE ALEXANDER Theatres and Cardiac Catheter Lab
Nicole came to Dudley originally via the hospitality industry and an interest in teaching. “I went into the degree as a back-up, thinking maybe of teaching but, on my first practical, I found I really enjoyed the patient interaction and to making a difference in people’s lives, that’s something I wouldn’t trade for anything,” she said. Loving her two years at Dudley, she finds that old adage that laughter is the best medicine, applies to staff as well as patients. “It’s just constant laughter and banter, someone is always making a joke so it’s a great environment,” she said. “Your work can be difficult, but everyone is supportive of each other which makes it a special place to work… it’s so good to be here,” she said.
KATHLYN SCHMARR Theatre Cardiac Catheter Lab Nurse Finding her feet in one of the most exacting jobs in the industry as a theatre nurse, Kathlyn has loved her first 10-months at Dudley. “It’s really enjoyable, it’s been a great learning experience, everyone here has been very welcoming and supportive,” she said. Kathlyn has also enjoyed the variety of work that has allowed here to rotate through a variety of surgical theatres and procedures to get a good look at how Dudley operates. “There’s been a lot more opportunities than I thought I would have, opportunities to learn new skills. “It’s a lovely environment to work in,” she said.
MEREDITH MCCARTHY
Nursing Unit Manager (NUM) Operating Theatres
Meredith is one of those staff who have worked at Dudley previously, but who have come back after years in other parts of the health system. “This time, I’ve been here 16 years… I first started here when I started my nursing in 1982,”she explained. “I’ve been back a few times, but I’ve always loved Dudley, it’s a wonderful hospital with many people that have been here many years, it’s a friendly environment a very solid unit,” she said. “We’ve had our children together and I’ve known some of the surgeons for many years, it’s a real family,” she added. “We take pride in our work, and do our utmost to please our surgeons, anaesthetists and give excellent care to our patients ” she said.
MICHELE TURNER Nursing Unit Manager Medical/Surgical/ Rehabilitation Michele has been at Dudley for seven years — seven months in her current position — and loves the variety and challenges of her work. “It requires keeping lots of balls in the air; you have to meet the needs of all the different staff, while continuing to deliver safe, up to date care,” she explained. “I think everyone within the hospital prides themselves on customer service and individual care,” she says, believing that Dudley, because of its size, has some natural advantages in this area. “It’s one of the benefits of being a smaller facility, you develop professional relationships and its easy to pick-up how we operate here.” “The new developments have given staff access to training, and upskilling which has been rewarding” she added. “It’s a really positive environment, many of the staff have been here a long time but the work is always changing; the Cardiac Cath (catheter) lab is an exciting new service,” she said.
DR SHARON BRENNAN
Career Medical Officer
In the role of what used to be known as “the Hospital Doctor”, Dr Brennan’s job is to fill-in as demand requires for all the other doctors in the hospital. “It’s a very pleasant place and collaborative, everyone is very friendly,” she said, having worked at Dudley for 12 years after years as a general practitioner (GP). “When I moved here, I was surprised at how well they knew each other and how much everyone chips in to help.” “They say ‘I’m not that busy, I’ll do that ECG for you,’ or ‘I’ll make that bed up for you, I don’t have that much on’,” she said. “Even the kitchen and the cleaning staff are very nice, people leaving here often compliment our kitchen and cleaning staff, just on how friendly they are,” she said. “Being a GP, you tend to be on your own — but visiting medical officers are always very friendly,” Dr Brennan concluded.

Introducing the new Melise to OC Life Readers — SAMUEL RODWELL — proudest has to be my firefighting action film Inferno, a nonfiction story about the firefighters who battled destructive bushfires against all odds to save life and property. I was embedded alongside volunteer firefighters from the NSW Rural Fire Service filming the Mount Canobolas bushfire in 2018 and the Australian megafires in 2019-20. It is certainly my most significant milestone personally and professionally to date.
For many readers it may come as a surprise that the beloved Melise Coleman is leaving the Orange City Life team. Leaving behind an impactful legacy upon our community over the last six years and presenting big shoes to fill for her replacement – who is ultimately me. I would like to wish Melise the very best for her future endeavours. To officially introduce myself, my name is Samuel Rodwell. Born and raised in Orange, I have always had a passion for storytelling – particularly a love for cinema. Where for the last half-a-decade I have been a film and television industry professional while based in our beautiful colour city, directing short films for varies commissioners to being involved across many secretive writers’ rooms for television drama since graduating from Charles Sturt University with a Bachelor of Communication (Media Practice).
When 2021 began I wanted to focus more on writing, little did I know that I will be contributing writer for Orange City Life. It is definitely a suiting position. I get great satisfaction through talking to people and learning about their story to capturing moments through a camera lens. I strive to maintain and build upon what Melise has established before me, while hoping to contribute my own writing sensibilities for Orange City Life readers to enjoy moving into the future.
For my brief introduction I was asked to state some of my accomplishments I am most proud of – perhaps my

REMEMBERING THOMAS COHEN Thomas Cohen was a fitter who lived at Mookerawa near Stuart Town. In 1908 he married Mary, and in 1916 they had a daughter, Lilian. That year Thomas enlisted, and was assigned to the 2nd Infantry Battalion to serve on the Western Front. He never saw his family or his hometown again, as he was tragically killed in action in France in 1918, aged 37. Incredibly, last year, over 100 years after he fell, Thomas was identified in a grave for unknown soldiers in a British war cemetery in France. Thomas’s family, and the Stuart Town community, recently held a service for him at Stuart Town’s Memorial Gates to remember his service and sacrifice. The attendance of the French Ambassador to Australia, Jean-Pierre Thebault, was greatly appreciated. Thank you to everyone who played a role in locating and identifying Thomas and organising the, including Fallen Diggers; The Australian Army; Commonwealth War Graves Commission; Dubbo Regional Council and the Stuart Town Anzac Committee. It says a lot about our nation that over one hundred years since the First World War, we are still working to identify our fallen and help bring peace and closure to their families.
LOWERING ENERGY COSTS FOR COMMUNITY GROUPS IN CALARE I am happy to announce that community groups across Calare can apply for a new program to lower energy costs, support local jobs and help reduce global emissions. The Powering Communities Program will fund up to 12 projects in Calare, up to a total of $67,700. Grants of between $5,000 and $12,000 will be available to eligible community organisations, with no co-contribution required. The grant will assist groups to complete projects that save energy and reduce energy bills, such as the installation of solar panels or a battery, upgrading air conditioners, hot water
systems or a refrigerator with more efficient models, replacing lighting with LEDs or conducting an energy audit. Energy bills are often one of the biggest overheads for notfor-profit organisations. By assisting to reduce power bills, the grants will help community groups focus on what they do best – serving and supporting our local community. I encourage local not-for-profit community groups to contact my office for more information. Further information on the program, including eligibility guidelines, is also available at business.gov.au or by telephone on 13 28 46.

De-stress and find your “dyeing” creative inside Love of textiles and dyeing is a uniquely-human pleasure that runs through all cultures and societies, former local girl, Karen Davis believes. Karen, along with business partner, Pepa Martin founded Shibori Textiles in Sydney which aims to push the boundaries of “shibori”, an ancient Japanese craft of textile dyeing. Karen is bringing this special experience back to Orange in mid-May with two try and find-out classes for both adults and children. Shibori’s appeal comes from its almost magical physical qualities, Karen believes. “It’s the unexpected nature of how you can create patterns when you do these crafts which are 4000 years old. “There’s an unpredictability, you have to let go, to a certain degree,” she explained. Karen believes that many of us lose our creative selves as we become adult, with children still maintaining an uninhibited imagination well-suited to free-form dyeing. “It’s how a kid will create something without any self-consciousness and say, ‘look what I did!’, it’s like that,” Karen said.
possibilities — emotional as well as technical — this unique craft provides. “The whole aim of the class is to de-stress people, to help them use other parts of their brains,” she said. Karen and Pepa also plan to utilise the disciplines of this ancient Japanese craft to push the boundaries of what is possible with two-week classes in Orange in September designed to study the techniques in-depth. “We’ll be playing around with different techniques in September,” Karen said. Shibori Fabrics have been used by some of Australia’s top designers in both fashion and interiors and their hand-dyed leathers and commercial fabrics and wallpapers can be seen in venues all over the world. Pepa and Karen regularly host workshops at their studio in Stanmore as well as other venues all over the city.
“We use indigo dye, which is not soluble in water, it’s green, but when it comes-out it goes a brilliant blue. It just feels a little like alchemy,” she explains.
As well as teaching, Shibori textiles have a range of commercial and upholstery fabrics produced by textile company “Materialised”, and easy to hang wallpaper range by “Milton and King”. They have also collaborated on a collection of prints with Design company “The Designer Boys”.
The classes are not designed to provide in-depth knowledge of the craft, but a “taste-test” of what

a full-scale dip-dyed hot air balloon; fabric inlayed surf boards made by McTavish and Sibella Court; as well as a homewares range with Lee Mathews. In 2013, Pepa and Karen released a range of wallpaper reflecting their hand-done aesthetic. Each design is hand-dyed before being digitally printed on high-performance wallpaper. Following a media splash on its release, the wallpaper has already been used as a backdrop for Australian Fashion Week and for an international marketing campaign by one of Australia’s largest retailers. Karen says that her love of fabrics has led her on an incredible journey. “We’re all connected by fabrics; I can’t believe sometimes that this is my full-time job. “I’ve travelled all around the world, worked on fabrics for Disney movie sets, had my own stuff in exhibitions. It’s been a really amazing experience for a girl who went to Canobolas High!” With all her family still living locally, she would love to pass on some of her experiences to students in the local area on one of her visits home. “I’d like to visit Canobolas High School to demonstrate the possibilities that are out there for students, if they are willing to follow their dreams… that’s my plan, anyway.”

Trang is certainly not short of ambition and has the work ethic to see her dreams through. From small beginnings selling Vietnamese jerky at local markets, Trang has invested in her own food truck, opened a Summer Street restaurant, and also operates a thriving business in the Orange City Centre Food Court. Not one to sit still, she has rebranded her Summer Street store Trang’s Kitchen (formerly Trang Hue) and expanded the menu offerings and extended trading hours to give Orange a taste of the food from her hometown near the city of Hue. “Everywhere in Vietnam the food is similar, but some like the food sweeter, some like it lighter, but I think Hue and Hoi An do the best food in Vietnam!” said Trang, whose menu is especially suitable for sharing. “In Vietnam we usually sit down and eat

“Chicken lemongrass — a lot of people order that one — lemongrass with beef, lemongrass with pork, grilled pork chop with rice, the steamed pork belly and crispy pork are popular too, and a lot of people love our papaya salad, so we have a lot of options,” said Trang.
Orange Electrical Works quickly expanded to establish a branch in Bathurst in 1925. In that same year Michael Sanifer left the business. In Orange, the business added appliance and auto electrical repairs to their services and later refrigeration and air-conditioning. The outbreak of World War II, saw a number of staff members leave to join the war effort and caused work to dry up, but business boomed in the following decades. They relocated their premises to the corner of Summer and Sale Streets, opening a retail shop front with a workshop out back. The shop remained open until 1972, with the workshop remaining until 1981 when the business relocated to its current address at Barrett Court. OB Green died in the 1962, and the Managing Director role passed to his son John, who was David Boulton’s first boss “I started as an apprentice in 71 and I’m still here 50 years on! I worked with John for nearly 25 years, until he retired in 1995,” said David, who purchased the business off John with his wife Nerralie.
“They actually had them all working,” said David Boulton,
The ceiling, walls and floor of the octagonal room are fully mirrored and edged with blue LED lights, the effect being that the space appears to stretch into infinity in every direction.
John remained interested in the business until he passed away in 2016. He was very well respected in the industry and under his leadership Orange Electrical Works undertook a large amount of technical work around the state, including lift repairs, large air-conditioning systems and cool stores, power generation systems and much more.
The design of the room is based on the principles of sacred geometry, explains Juan-Pierre (JP) Rossouw, who with his partner Jessica Musto is the founder of Genesis Blu Wellness — the first Blu Room therapy treatment centre in Australia.
“We still do larger electrical work, lifts and escalator repairs and maintenance which are things other people don’t want to do, some commercial catering equipment repairs and inhome repairs and those sorts of things,” said David. Small appliance repairs, once a large part of the business, are a thing of the past as it is no longer economical to do so.
“We saw the Blu Room overseas in the U.S and tried it out,” says Jessica.
"Solar installation and air condition are a major part of the business today," said David. And, just as the business has always adapted to changes in the past, Orange Electrical Works is always on the lookout for new business opportunities.
“We both liked our experiences and knew that technologies like these are the future of wellness so we thought wouldn’t it be great to open one in Australia?”
“We’ve just taken on the Solahart agency here in Orange for solar power and solar hot water systems,” he said.
With a license for the US-patented technology, JP and Jessica are now offering Blu Room therapy from their home which is set on tranquil grounds on the wooded slopes of Mount Canobolas.
“We can build on that, as it hasn’t been pushed a great deal in this area before… And air conditioning, we have bit of work in that area, there’s always demand for that and we just keep an eye out for electrical contracts that come out.”
“It is essentially a relaxation room,” says JP. “For Wellness, we believe the mind comes first and if you can fix the mind your body will follow. You know, if you are anxious, if you are stressed out it can negatively affect your

light that bathes you in the room.
Additionally, with the UVB Narrowband lights, the Blu Room assists with the production of Vitamin D, a commonly deficient vitamin which is well known by research, to be at the core of many ailments.
“It is different for everybody, but straight away there’s a calmness and you feel more relaxed after you come out, and if you can learn to relax and then hardwire that state of mind in your everyday life you will see the benefits.”
“A lot of people report that they feel like they are floating or feel a little more connected or more creative,” says JP.
Altogether the blue atmosphere of the Blu Room, a combination of frequency, music and light therapy, helps you relax and go into a deeper state of mind.
Bordering the Mount Canobolas State Recreation Area, high up on Old Canobolas Road, the location of Genesis Blu Wellness is itself a calming experience.
During each 20-minute session in the Blu Room, you remain fully clothed with eye protection and are exposed to controlled doses of UVB Narrowband light from lamps mounted on the walls. Initially the lights are on for just three minutes, with the exposure gradually increased over repeated visits.
Set in beautiful bushland, it is also the home of JP, Jessica and their daughter Maya and there is a welcoming, family feel to the place. “This place became available and it is just perfect”, says the couple, who has bigger plans for the future of Genesis Blu Wellness. ”We want to incorporate the Blu Room with other wellness modalities.”
Sound from a speaker behind the bed fills the room during the session, insulating you from outside distractions. The music is chosen for its specific frequency range; in this instance ‘Clair de Lune,’ which seems particularly appropriate given the English translation of ‘Moonlight’ and the soft blue
The restaurant is BYO, but Trang’s Kitchen will soon be stocking a range of Vietnamese beers and serving local wines and cocktails.
“And I think vegetarians will find a lot of really good options here and vegans… Everyone who tries our caramelised soy eggplant and pepper need to get the sauce straight away! They beg me for jars for that sauce!”

Founded by Oliver Bolam Green with Michael Sanifer, Orange Electrical Works actually preceded the arrival of electrical power to Orange homes and businesses by two years. In those early days, OB (as he was known) built and repaired batteries which were charged on kerosene generators, he also specialised in magneto repairs — magnetos then being vital for engine ignitions, telephones and early forms of electric lighting. OB also carried out a successful electroplating trade.
“They also had commercial electrical things like pumps and motors and there was a thing called ‘X-Ray lighting — nothing to do with x-rays, but X-Ray lighting was the thing to have in your shop windows. It brought out the true colours, so it said.”
The many ‘labour-saving’ devices electricity afforded were a big selling point at the time and Orange Electrical Works put on a special display at the 1923 Orange Show, demonstrating ‘For the Housewife” the benefits of electric irons, toasters, kettles, vacuum cleaners, dish and clothes washing machines.
“Trang’s special noodle is very nice. You have barbecue pork and chicken skewers and one spring roll with rice noodles and fresh salad — that’s our best seller at the moment, along with my fresh lemon juice! If you have a hangover, you’re tired, have our lemon juice and it will wake you up, it is very refreshing!”
If you do manage to look past the tasting plates, there is plenty to temp you in the rest of Trang’s extensive menu, from Vietnamese Pork Rib, Shaking Cube Beef, Caramelised Pork Belly to Bao Buns and Green Papaya Salad.
the current day Manager Director of Orange Electrical Works.
But with the arrival of reticulated power in 1923, the workload of Green and Sanifer grew as they busily wired homes and business for light and power — usually a light in (most) rooms and a single power point in the kitchen.
For those who struggle with indecision, Trang has her own recommendations on where people should start on the menu.
“What I wanted was to share my family dinner, get people to sit down and wrap themselves a delicious healthy dinner.”
Stepping inside the Blu Room is certainly unlike any experience you are likely to have had before.
— JONATHAN ROE —
“Another new enterprise has sprung up in our midst,” reads the opening line of a story in the Orange Leader newspaper from 7 February 1921, “One that must appeal to everybody, and more especially to the coach building, motor and bicycle trade.”

ANZAC DAY 2021 — MELISE COLEMAN —
Anzac Day may have looked a little different compared to previous years but that didn’t deter the Orange community, showing up in droves to pay their respects to Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who lost their lives in war, conflicts and peace keeping operations. We were there to photograph the Anzac March taking place along Byng Street, to Robertson Park. Hundreds then gathered in the Park where the Civic Commemoration took place and wreaths were laid fondly.

IN THE CENTRAL WEST
Last week I attended the official opening of the Central West Radiology Unit at the new Bloomfield Medical Centre. It was great to have a behind the scenes tour of the new facility and checking out the new medical imaging equipment which is some of the latest generation and best in Australia.
I was fortunate to meet up with Melissa McGuinness, cofounder of the You Choose Youth Road Safety Program at Forbes. This is a program designed with the objective of changing young people’s behaviour and attitude towards driving. Melissa’s story is heartbreaking but also inspiring and she will be in Orange in July delivering her presentation to some of the schools and community groups, in the hope it will go some way to educating young people, encourage a change in behaviour and ultimately - save lives!
The quality of the imagery is world class! We are so fortunate to have access to such equipment for CT, MRI and other radiology equipment for our communities.

This is a great community organisation that prioritises the wellbeing of all men and assists in prevention of social isolation by providing a safe, friendly and welcoming place for men to work on projects together that help the wider community.

It’s great being out and about talking and meeting with people who are passionate about our community and region. We have so many great things happening in our community at the moment and lots more to look forward to.
I recently met with the Orange Trout Acclimatisation Society where I facilitated CPR instruction for the club from St John Ambulance. It’s important for everyone to keep up to date with their knowledge and skills. Thanks to the instructors who travelled from as far as Dubbo to deliver this important training.

ORA
TIME FOR INDIGENOUS VOICE ON ORANGE COUNCIL, POWER
It’s time that our original Australians were represented on Orange City Council, Gerald Power believes. The local Indigenous leader says that it is hightime that a self-identifying Aboriginal ratepayer got elected to Council. ‘Definitely, there has never been an identified indigenous voice on Council, not that I know of. Not only indigenous but a diverse group of people, not just middle-aged white men.” Orange is now a multi-cultural community, and the Council should reflect that,” he added. “I think a lot of them have been there a long time and there has to be a question mark over their effectiveness.” Making his fourth pitch for Orange Council, the Orange City Life Mock Councillor believes that now is the time for change. “I’m going on the ticket now with a group of independents designed to reflect the community of Orange in all its diverse aspects. “We’ve also got someone from India, who are now one of our highest populations in Orange,”
he said. He is running in September’s poll on a “diversity ticket” after being pipped on preferences at the poll four year’s ago. This was after looking to have secured last spot but eventually losing to one of the big-ticket councillors who rode home on the coattails of second and third preference votes. “This is my fourth time; I went pretty close in 2017. I was the last person to be knocked-off out of about 88 candidates, everyone thought I was in, but the preferences of the Labor candidate rolled over the top of me… in the end, I lost by about 40 votes,” he said. He added that having a small “ground game” — people to hand-out how to vote cards and canvas on his behalf, also probably cost him his spot. “I only had how-to-vote helps in four out of 13 booths, and most of them knock-offed at about lunchtime, so I was running-around everywhere trying to get to polling booths,” he laughed. Gerald believes, though, that this time things will be different. “I’ve spent much of the past four years campaigning,” he said. “And I’ve

“I think that there’s a lack of consultation, such as with the proposal for the sporting facility at south Orange and the plan to knockdown the trees and the like,” he said. “There needs to be more consultation and thinking outside the box,” he said.

“I experienced racism many times, and then I came to Orange and I thought, ‘Jeez, they’re friendly here’,” he said. A sports lover, Gerald played years with the Cabonne Shire Cricket Club and was, up to recently, President of the Orange Basketball Assocation, until his other duties took-over his time. This includes his work running the Aboriginal business enterprises, Indigenous Cultural Adventures and Bush Tucker, in the region.
Gerald also believes that many of the current crop of councillors have become stale. “There’s such a stalemate inside there, they’re sitting there and treading water and not sure whether they’re going to run again or not.
With indigenous Australians now increasingly making their voice heard in Australian society, now is the time for that new reality to be recognised on Orange City Council.
“They’re twiddling their thumbs, but they should be working hard for us, that’s what they’re being paid for,” he added. From the Juru people of Bowen near Townsville in north Queensland, he came to Orange nearly four decades ago at a time when racism was still highly-prevalent in Australia.

Feast for Farmers – “A day full of Joy” — MELISE COLEMAN —
Last weekend, on a cool, windy Saturday over thirty Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak (RCOD) members and friends, volunteered to assist at the second Feast for Farmers long lunch, held in the Heifer Station Wines Bull Paddock. What a contrast to the 2019 event held after years of drought, with the Bull Paddock turned to dust and the sun blazing down. While most farming communities around Orange have had plenty of rain since the devastating drought and crops have been well fertilised, there is still need for assistance around our region. With ongoing restocking, the infamous mice plague, debt, and in some cases flooding, the Feast for Farmers is still very relevant, and people have responded accordingly - generously. In 2019 there was $40,000 profit and Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak collected, accounted for and disbursed the funds raised with the assistance of ‘GIVIT,’ a national not-for-profit
company connecting those who have with those who need. 500 vouchers were purchased locally to support small town businesses and then distributed throughout the Cabonne and Cudal Council area by the CWA and fellow progress associations for groceries and fuel, special school lunches, preschool furniture, clothing, picnic tables and swimming equipment. This year, with numbers limited due to Covid restrictions, over $25,000 was raised via generous bidding on auction prizes and the selling of raffle tickets. Many local businesses donated goods, prizes and services to ensure the event’s success.
A large grazing table was provided by Groundstone Café and live music provided by Gabe Middleton. RCOD President Sue Moffatt mentioned fellow Rotarians and friends assisted with serving wine and food, set up and packed up over three days and organised transport. All of that after a stint in at the Orange Farmers Markets the very same day! Sue explained, “Our Club was stretched to the limit and deserves recognition for their non-stop efforts. As we did in 2019, some Club members will travel to the small communities and spend the $25,000 locally. This will be after advice is given from GIVIT about which shops and associations are most in need. It truly was another day full of joy.”

The Council Game
What happened at Council on 20th April 2021? Council’s meeting on Tuesday 20th April 2021 was relatively short to consider some 560 pages of business papers, finishing at 8.30p.m. That was partly because Councillors did not have to make many decisions apart from putting the issues on exhibition for community comment.
anniversary of Orange’s existence and 75th anniversary of Orange as a city were noted. The issues going on exhibition for public comment are: > Applications for events including the World Jousting Championships and the Squeeze Music Festival; > Four applications for funding totalling $16,955.16 from the Future City Assistance Fund for works to buildings in the CBD; > Draft Pesticide Use Notification Plan;
There were 250 pages of strategic policy reviews that have been on exhibition for public comment and were adopted by Council: Donations and Grants; Communications and Community Engagement; Gallery – Collection; Gifts and Benefits;
Code of Conduct – Staff, and Code of Conduct – Councillors, Committee Members, Delegates of Council and Council Advisors. There was a discussion about whether Council should make a submission about remote meeting attendance for
Councillors in response to a discussion paper from the Office of Local Government that is about guidelines that will last until 31st December 2021. The street event for ANZAC Day on Sunday 25th April 2021 was discussed. Proposed celebrations for the 175th
spend time investigating further.

Amanda Spalding I do not want to comment on last week’s Council meeting as I found it very uninspiring and somewhat depressing. So, instead I will talk about my favourite theme ‘how to get the best out of your council’. I have spent my whole working life trying to improve the way things are done to provide better service, better results and better value for money. I started out training as a Chartered Accountant in Sheffield in England and part of my role as an auditor was to look into the systems that businesses used to control their financial affairs and check that the staff understood and applied those controls. Often, they did not, but I discovered that I was not thanked for revealing this important issue as the partners of the firm were keen to minimise the cost of audits, to increase profit, so actively wanted to say that all was fine, rather than
This seems to have become a theme in my working life where I believe in doing things properly. Of course, I married a man with similar beliefs to myself, Darrell Hair, who also believed in doing his job properly and look what happened to him!!! I think it’s known as Integrity, and both of us have seen the end of our careers because of our adherence to doing the right thing. I was sacked as General Manager of Hay Shire Council after I informed Council that I had reported my concerns about corruption and fraud to ICAC and the NSW Police. The problem with trying to improve things is that many of the people who don’t want things to change are influential or powerful and have a vested interest in keeping things as they are now. I believe in the important role local government plays as a community leader and in the concept of councils carrying out their functions in a way that provides best possible public value for residents and ratepayers as required by the NSW Local Government Act.
> Draft Lake Canobolas Precinct Master Plan, and > Draft Development Control Plan Orange Eastside Precinct. Mock Councillors unable to comment this week due to work and business pressures are: Nic Drage and Theo Crane.
I have shown the weekly publication of the Council Game in Orange City Life (and previously in NewsWatch) to a few people who think it’s an absolutely brilliant idea to give local communities the opportunity to hear from people who are thinking of standing for election as Mayor or a Councillor, so they are clear about options. It helps people to get a better understanding of how our Council operates and that things could be done better. In the past the NSW Government had a role in pushing councils to improve, but since the disaster of attempted amalgamations, the NSW Government leaves that to local communities. So, it is important that local communities understand their council and what could be done better. Current Councillors get the opportunity to display what they have achieved during their term of office through the End of Term Report that will come to Council in August. We are very lucky to live or work in such a beautiful place as Orange, where we deserve better leadership from our Council.

There was plenty of discussion at last week’s council meeting but, via livestream, it was still not possible to adequately hear some speakers. Who knows - there may have been some utterly riveting commentary but if it can’t be heard, what’s the point of the livestream? With what was able to be heard, there appeared to be some angst about the requirement to register for the Robertson Park ANZAC Day services. One councillor was particularly offended by this requirement essentially because he thinks people should have the right to attend as they normally would, and because our Covid-19 case numbers are so low. Apart from the fact that, as was eventually pointed out, it is actually the RSL who have mandated the registration process (not Orange City Council), there are a couple of other issues here. Firstly, our Covid-19 case numbers are low BECAUSE we have generally been pretty careful, and many veterans are of an age that increases their risk of complications if they are exposed. Secondly, I think ANZAC Day is about reflecting, respecting and honouring our Veterans, not about whether someone is irritated because there’s an extra process required to attend a service. Stop whining and register yourself if you want to attend, and then focus on the real purpose of ANZAC Day, or don’t go. If registering is challenging for a veteran that you know, and they wish to attend, help them with the registration process or any other logistical issues they may have. I have attended many local ANZAC Day Services over the years and I love watching the proudly marching veterans and the adorable schoolkids. Hopefully this year it will be as well attended as pandemic requirements permit, but even if numbers are down, I hope the veterans know that we’re still thinking about them.

Now that Orange Food Week is over for this year, businesses in Orange and surrounding villages are evaluating how they have done in 2021 Food Week? I am also being asked – ‘What do you think about the Lake Canobolas plans?' Firstly- Lake Canobolas is underused during our winter months. I think councils (Orange and Cabonne) have failed to be visionary in any plans
26 APRIL 29 — MAY 5, 2021
Secondly - The plan to focus on establishing infrastructure that provides an all-year-round multipurpose venue that has the ability to encourage a steady flow of tourists outside of Orange’s signature events would be beneficial to every business. I believe that Orange 360 campaigns to bring tourism to the Central West have seen guests come from across Australia to Orange in the midst of a world-wide pandemic! But we can’t just rely on what we have now…... What could the Lake Canobolas precinct look like in 2022 and beyond with structured and well-planned attractions? Build it and they WILL Come!

What should we expect from our Councillors? Anyone following the Council Game over the last few months would be well aware that many of the Mock Councillors, myself included, have been critical of the way the Council meetings have been conducted, and in particular, the way matters are discussed. Last week’s Council meeting was no different, it was hardly inspiring, hardly professional, and quite boring to watch. This one was a shorter meeting as well. By the way, they still can’t seem to get the microphones working properly, or the way Councillors speak into them. I would have thought this would have been well and truly addressed by now for those who watch the live stream. I browsed through the Council agenda papers before the meeting and once again noted that Councillors only get a few days to read and consider the papers which last week totalled about 550 pages. It’s an enormous amount of paperwork and full of political and legal jargon that most of us wouldn’t fully understand anyway. That’s one thing that as a Councillor, I would like to look at to see if there’s a better way of being over the various issues. Then there’s the actual meetings. I’m not totally sure what should happen at a Council meeting but listening to some of the discussion and questions raised, it sometimes appears some Councillors don’t know what’s going on until it is raised at a Council meeting. I would have thought that an astute Councillor would be all over important issues, and well before they turn up at a Council meeting. Some of the discussion, as has been raised before by other Mock Councillors, seems to be totally out of place when raised at these meetings, or should have not been mentioned at all, but rather should have been dealt with outside Council meetings. Some of the comments or ‘matters arising’, which seem to come up all too often, are often expressed in long-winded terms with much of what is said unnecessary. For example, when talking about more seating in the main street, we don’t need to hear ALL
the reasons why it’s needed, or why bollards need to be removed from footpaths because they are a hindrance to people who use mobility scooters. Surely, we don’t have to waste time in a Council meeting embellishing what everyone with half a brain would know in the first place. We all know that elderly people may need somewhere to sit and rest in the main street, we don’t have to be told why? We all know how a badly positioned bollard on a walkway would hinder a mobility scooter’s progress, we don’t have to be told why. A lot of time is wasted with stuff like this and other equally unnecessary comments. So, what should we expect from our Councillors? Better than this I expect. That’s something else to think about between now and September.

At the council meeting on Tuesday I noted some of the events potentially being hosted in Orange in the coming years. Anniversary celebrations, music festivals and even a world jousting championship and medieval fair! Hopefully it’s a compliment that Orange is considered a good location for medieval reenactment. There were lots of reasons Orange was considered for these events. Listed were Orange’s central location, varied accommodation facilities, local attractions and board services available in town. All true. What Orange lacks is quality road access to Sydney. Going across the Blue Mountains over the Easter long weekend I could see cars backed up for kilometres. Yes, this was an unusual time with public holiday traffic and the closed Bells line of Road. However, I also think many of those people delayed for substantial periods of time won’t be encouraged to return again by road, and maybe won’t come back. Poor road access is not news and plans were released recently for construction of two tunnels to get around some squeeze points and convict era construction. However just because things are planned doesn’t mean they will happen. I appreciate Road infrastructure over the Blue Mountains is not a council responsibility. However, we are the best advocates for ourselves. This issue needs to be brought up constantly whenever council has contact with the state and federal ministers involved. Like a new dam, the gestation period for improvements in road infrastructure will be long. So, pressure needs to be applied often explaining that road access will be a major limitation to the development of Orange and that improvements are a priority for the people this side of the Blue Mountains. Medieval festivals in town require good roads to get here.

Greater Good
Council considered a request last week to stage a Jousting event in Orange and rightfully supported it. On face value, an unusual event like this would create enormous interest and bring many additional visitors and a great deal of money into town. Bit of a no brainer wouldn’t you say? Our Council has always got excited about tourism type events that tickle their fancy, the Day on the Green and a Gay and Lesbian Rainbow Festival are two others they have gotten pretty excited about. It would be nice to see our Council also show the same sort of enthusiasm and support for other events and promotions that offer similar potential, if given a chance, and even come up with a few local initiatives rather than just rest on the laurels of others. It’s not as if some great ideas haven’t been put forward in the past, only to see our current Councillors not see the potential or be influenced by Council staff who don’t have a genuine entrepreneurial bone in their body. The Guinness Book of Records Red Head record attempt and the Easter Camel races are two that deserved better support than they got from Council. Let’s hope the next Council is more commercially savvy and shows more flair with such things.

Council should be playing a much greater role when it comes to reducing the rate of crime within Orange. While Police are predominantly responsible for tackling crime, council should be working in unison with the State Government and other organisations to address this issue. Sadly, this is not happening. According to the NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research, non-domestic violence related assaults in Orange have risen by almost 16% over the last 2 years. Break and enters have increased by almost 12% over the same period. How safe do you feel walking around the CBD, Summer Street or even down McNamara Street to the train station on a Friday or Saturday night?
There needs to be more CCTV cameras up and down Summer Street, Robertson Park, McNamara Street, Peisley Street to the train station and parts of Byng and Anson Streets. In addition to cameras, council needs to improve lighting down streets that are within cooee of Summer Street. Council needs to marshal the strong community spirit within Orange and engage with local organisations that may want to play their part. I believe outreach and mentoring programs in areas that statistically have a high rate of crime, particularly among youth, would have a tangible impact. Individually, we can all play our role to combat crime. Look out for your neighbour, look out for the vulnerable or the elderly and report any suspicious activity.

I’ll admit, I didn’t watch last week’s meeting. Having been away with family on holidays for 10 days without any access to my phone or the internet, I simply couldn’t bring myself to fire up the laptop and settle in for the theatrics. The attack from one Councillor in the media at the start of the week was brought to my attention upon my return... and in all likelihood contributed to my reticence. This is a sad indictment on what our Council has become. Residents should be interested, and excited, and inspired by our local leadership. But we are not. The petty point-scoring and attacks, while entertaining for some momentarily, do absolutely nothing to help the Orange community. It does nothing to guide us into the future. Frankly, the people of Orange deserve better. Better leadership. Better treatment.

Daniel McGregor Reasonably uneventful Council meeting last week. I did like hearing there will more funding for things outside of food and wine… things that food and wine will benefit from anyway. I was quite amazed listening to a councillor railing against the covid-based restrictions put in place around Anzac Day. The councillor started out saying he would support the agenda item, then proceeded to make a speech about how it didn’t “pass the pub test”, criticised anyone who may have been involved in the decisionmaking process… then listed some potential suspects, then made a number of points about why the decisions were hypocritical and wrong. The councillor told the chamber that for the businesses along Summer Street, Anzac Day is one of their main days. Really? In my experience, virtually every business along Summer Street is closed on Anzac Day. “I’m going to support it, but let me tell you I’m not very happy.” Staggering! If a councillor absolutely, passionately believes that something is wrong, why on earth would they support it? The councillor then proceeded to say he wouldn’t be going to the Anzac Day march anyway as he’ll be doing his own thing. The councillor was then informed by the Mayor that all decisions had been made by the RSL. It was also noted that the Anzac Day march in 2021 will be down Byng Street. What was the point of the councillor’s tirade? I’ll leave it for others to make up their own minds. However, come September, there’s another opportunity for Orange to make their call on who they want to be seated at the Council table. Despite the name of this section of Orange City Life, local government is not a game. It’s not a plaything for egos and not a place for partisan politics. It’s a key plank in delivering the lifestyle we want for the place that we live.
Better engagement. Better diversity. Better representation. Better ‘everything’ than what we have as the majority on Council. The 4th of September gets ever closer. Your vote counts. Your voice matters.
WHO WILL YOU VOTE FOR IN SEPTEMBER? Between now and then, we’ll keep you up to date with who’s who and what’s what... ORANGE CITY

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY
Some time ago I was pushing my trolley along the aisle of a supermarket, trying to decide what I might need for the following week.
the next day right into our kitchen, as happened to Pat, who lived just across the street from the shop.
The whole place hummed with activity and noise.
Home deliveries, however, are now happening when you order online and your goods are brought to your door in almost the same way as before.
Under the cunningly placed spotlights, fruit and vegetables looked fresh and dewy; the cuts of meat looked temptingly succulent and the fish gleamed as if they were just out of the water. The checkouts were shepherding customers through with their goods, while the queues grew longer, ever longer. Suddenly everything changed.
The place became strangely silent.
People stopped in their tracks and the light faded to a murky dusk, while the air, which had been delightfully cool, became thick and stuffy.
Customers gazed at each other in disbelief as if their world had been turned upside down. There was a blackout!
Of course, it wasn’t long before order was restored, the electricity came back on and life, as we have come to know it, continued.
But it made me think about the days when we were not so reliant on the magic of new technology and most of the energy we used was engendered by our own effort. With this in mind, I suggested to the Oral History Group that we should look back at shopping in days gone by.
We also confronted the present and future.
First, however, we allowed ourselves the luxury of wallowing in the past!
Leslye recalled when the shops used to shut for an hour for lunch and life seemed to lived at a much slower pace.
The way we Shopped “My mother used to take me to David Jones in Sydney.
"She would sit on a chair at the counter while the assistants showed her various things she might want to buy,” said Owen.
“There was even a floorwalker to direct people to the right department.” The big department stores used to send out catalogues which enabled country customers to keep up with what was available and to arrange to have the goods dispatched.
“It also provided great reading material for families who lived in the bush like we did,” said Dot .
Both Dick and Audrey were fascinated with the pneumatic tube device which propelled documents and the cash in a container, over a wire right into the hands of the cashier who was generally perched in a high office above the customers’ heads.
Bill remembered the butchers shops with water cascading down the inside of the windows which, he said, served a double purpose of keeping the meat
cool and killing flies.
There were other clever inducements to shoppers as Mick revealed .
“When I worked at Western Stores they would grind up coffee on Friday night and spread it on the floor behind the counter so that there was a wonderful aroma.” Everyone talked of the old 'corner shop,' where, as Pat said, “You could buy a big bag of broken biscuits for a penny.”
You could also ask for your order and watch the grocer weigh it out and wrap it up in brown paper, tied with a string in which he would cleverly make a loop for you to carry it home on your finger.
Catalogues, which we loved so much, are now on the Internet and the service is much faster.
While we lamented the passing of the old cash register, new technology can do all these things and more in a much shorter time with enormous amounts of data being stored on electronic equipment. We thought longingly of the more gracious service and the slower tempo of shopping but this is counteracted by the changes in workers’ conditions and pay and the longer hours in which shops are open.
We wondered, rather naively, why we in Orange are seeing summer clothes for sale when the weather is still freezing, but we have to be content with the fact that the people in Melbourne are now making those decisions.
“The milkman delivered milk to your door and filled the billy which had been left out the night before,” said Joe.
While the Oral History group looked sadly back at the days of our youth, we realised that people’s needs and desires have changed enormously. We no longer want clothes to last for years, items are superseded rapidly and technology, as in almost every avenue of life, is a catalyst for change.
We also remembered with some nostalgia, when our order was taken at our door by the grocer and delivered
We may have to do that, but we can remember a much more gracious time, and we miss it! Copyright Helen McAnulty
“There seemed to be no worry about contamination in those days and we seemed to have survived pretty well.”
As John said, “ We are paying the penalty of progress--we cannot go back, we have to go with it.”
We need more properties to satisfy the high demand in Orange and surrounding areas If you are considering selling your property, then a free market appraisal is your first easy step.

Artists and creatives across the Central West are invited to join a free weekly course covering Arts Business and Industry Skills. Delivered by industry experts over 12 weeks, content will cover the business side of being a professional artist. The course will run each Wednesday night from 6pm-7.30pm via Zoom and starts on May 12. Those who choose to join the course will take a look at the whole arts sector ecology with an artsspecific look at copyright, contracts, tax and finance, business planning, how to price your work, artist statements and online profiles and marketing. There is also sessions on funding, understanding and respecting Aboriginal culture, working in the arts and health area and wellbeing tools for artists. Arts OutWest Executive Director, Tracey Callinan explained, “These will not be sit-and-listen webinars – these are workshops delivered online with opportunity to ask questions and share your own experiences and interact as a cohort of 20 regionallybased practitioners.”
“This is open to creatives in all art forms,” Ms Callinan said. “It’s for people working professionally or wanting to step up to work professionally in the arts and creative industries. Or it can also be for people who know they have gaps (big or small) in their arts business skills.” The course is open to people living in the NSW Central West local government areas of Bathurst Region, Blayney, Cabonne, Cowra, Forbes, Lachlan, Lithgow, Mid-Western Region, Oberon, Orange, Parkes and Weddin. Artists who complete the course will get a free oneyear membership of industry website ArtsHub. Those interested are asked to put in a very short expression of interest, due by Monday May 3.

— MELISE COLEMAN — The 4 on the 4loor concept took off in May 1998 and has been played the first Saturday of every month at the Victoria Hotel since. March 2020 was the last 4loor pre COVID, though now things are getting back on track, musicians are keen to get out and play. 4 on the 4loor Coordinator, Jon Carter explained, “It started as an idea of giving Musicians who wouldn’t have been able to play live (because traditionally you had to play for three or four hours to be in a band, or be an artist that could perform.) “I was doing the bookings at the time for the Victoria Hotel, I had organised a couple of band competitions in Orange and I realised I knew a lot of people who could play, but couldn’t play the whole night. “So, I came up with this smorgasbord idea. 4 on the 4loor – which meant people could play for half an hour or 45 minutes. So that got them out of their bedrooms and onto a stage. It gave them the opportunity to play in front of a crowd where they
wouldn’t have had that opportunity in the past.” The main 4 on the 4loor focus is on originality, to which Jon mentioned is important. “4loor goers as they are known, appreciate original music, they know that’s what they are going to get and that’s what they want. Anyone who comes knows they are going to get variety.” The showcase focuses primarily on local artists though their horizons have expanded over the years, hosting acts from Sydney, Victoria – even Japan. “We would have hit 300 shows if COVID had not came along, we had 295 under our belt before we had to stop,” Jon added. On May 1, Darren Smith, Neon Pope, Miss Steak and the Gravy and Girls on Saké will take the ‘4loor’ stage, ready to wow the crowd. The show will kick off from 8:30pm and is completely free, why not grab your mates and enjoy a night at the Victoria Hotel!

Villages’ Anzac Day back after year of lockdowns — BY DAVID DIXON— Revival of Lyndhurst RSL sub-branch’s village Anzac Day events following a year of lockdowns drew near-record crowds to communities including Millthorpe, Lyndhurst, Carcoar, and Mandurama. Millthorpe saw a crowd of about 800 attend the dawn service — the effective population of the village — with the traditional march down Park St replaced with a quick parade across Redmond Oval to the village’s War Memorial in cool but clear weather. Apart from the speeches and laying of wreaths, the Millthorpe School choir also sang a touching rendition of the song, Lest we Forget. High school cadets, unable to march in the traditional Anzac Day parade with their schools in Orange, also took part. Later events were held at the other villages with old diggers joined by family and school groups to remember what many consider to be Australia’s national day.

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.
THE LITTLE MILKMAID Ellen Mary Kennedy – otherwise known as Nell, Nellie, Hell’s Nell, or Stick Legs – was born on New Year’s Day, squawking into the dawn of 1906, so loud she brought a ton of snow crashing from the roof. She’d come early, in every way, and so was skinny as a rake from that very first minute of her life. No matter what her mother Brigid fed her, it never stuck to her bones. And when Nell was small, there was always plenty to eat, even if there weren’t too many coins in any pockets. Her family lived in Ballymacyarn, a small village seven miles to the south-west of Tralee towards Dingle and had done ever since anyone could remember. The village sat on a hillside at the foot of the Slieve Mish Mountains, as green as Erin could ever be, and rolled towards a rocky cliff-top that overlooked the grey Atlantic. There, the Kennedys had three milking cows, never less than twenty-three chickens, and an old stag-pig called Stanley, who’d come to them for his retirement. They ate mackerel three times a week, straight from the sea. They grew potatoes and parsnips and spinach – and carrots all summer, too.
They owned their little plot of land, the Kennedys. It was bought in 1903, by Nell’s dad, who was the village blacksmith. He, like many others in the county, took advantage of new laws that had just come in to enable ordinary workingmen to own their own little bit of what their families
had dug and ploughed for centuries, since before the English Earls of Desmond took it all up for themselves in 1703, stealing it from the Kings O’Brien. It wasn’t worth much. In fact, the minute Dan Kennedy put the money down for it, it was worth quite a lot less, but at least it was theirs. Unfortunately, though, with twelve sons born ahead of Nell, the land was always going to be too small to hand on to them. The sons would need other means of providing for themselves and their future families, and much discussion was had about sending them across to Dublin for work in the factories there, seeing if the sons could be got into trades. But Dublin was expensive, and a risk with too many unknowns: Daniel and Brigid Kennedy didn’t want their sons to travel so far away. They’d heard too many stories of boys getting into terrible strife there in Dublin. It was a dilemma. The eldest of the boys, Dan, was sent only as far as Tralee when he turned sixteen, and for a while the arrangement seemed the ideal thing. Dan could walk the seven miles in to work there on the shipping canal and be home in time for tea – or nearly every day, except for midsummer when the days were long. Gradually, though, as the shipping moved from Tralee canal further round the bay to the new docks at Fenit Harbour, the work began to dry up. By the time his brothers were ready to follow young Dan into Tralee, there were hardly any jobs to be had at all. Their mother and father wondered if they should move the family round to Fenit village, but Fenit already
had three blacksmiths, ticketed smiths, working on the wharves – they didn’t need another, one who didn’t have any formal schooling in his trade, and besides, Fenit was too far away for them to keep their little farm going. They would have had to break up the family somehow, and they just couldn’t see their way to doing that. They thought about moving into Tralee itself, so that then the boys could work at Fenit or on the canal – Tralee was a county town of near ten thousand, so surely something would come up for them there. But what if it didn’t? What if they sold their plot and ended up with nothing and no jobs? The dilemma deepened.
Brigid and Daniel Kennedy decided there and then to pray not to have any more children – thirteen of them was blessing enough, if they didn’t think about the reputation of that number too much – but apart from that, they didn’t know what to do, except for continuing to enjoy the oversupply of farm labour they increasingly had on their plot. The boys competed with each other as to who could grow the fattest parsnip, or the reddest carrot, and they’d spend hours trying to coax Stanley the old stag-pig into saying hello, which occasionally he did in his grunty way, but apart from that, not much else went on in Ballymacyarn – not for years. Nell was five, just about five and a half, when Dan came home from Tralee one day, at almost twentyone years of age, and he told his parents: ‘Mam, Da – this is no good. I can’t keep going on like this, looking for work that isn’t there. My life is passing
APRIL 29 — MAY 5, 2021 43
Wild Chickory — by Kim Kelly me by.’
Poor young Dan was in a state of depression about it. He wasn’t even in love with any girl to distract him – there were no girls in Ballymacyarn to be distracted by. Year after year, families were moving off their farms and into the towns and the cities; year after year it became more and more difficult for a lad with too little education to get anywhere at all. In fact, it was fairly impossible. The Kennedys knew they would have to do something for their boys, all of them – they would have to make a move sooner or later – but they just couldn’t decide when or how. They didn’t want to decide – they didn’t want to leave their beautiful home.
Why would they? It was paradise on earth in so very many ways. This land gave them so much of all anyone ever needs in nourishment and in beauty. The hill that rose up above the village from behind that gave protection from the gales and trapped the sun upon their fields; in summer the whole of the rise blushed all over with the rainbow splashes of a million wildflowers, and for those few sparkling months of the year, even the Atlantic Ocean would turn on a show: with the brightening of the sky it changed to a deep sapphire blue, and the only grey thing in it would be the whales travelling north on their holidays. Nell loved to see those whales making their way along the Kerry coast. At first sight of them, she would stop whatever it was she was doing and she would run harum-scarum through the fields and up to the very edge of the cliff, standing on her tiptoes to see them go by. They were called humpback whales in English, and she thought that was an ugly name to give such wonderful creatures. Once, when she saw one of them jump right up out of the sea, she knew she had witnessed the power of God and the love of God in one. Míol mór, they were called in Irish, all of the whales. She loved it when her mother spoke that language, but she didn’t speak it very often; you didn’t want people thinking you were a backwards cottier whose family had made it through the Great Famine by falling down a well and eating frogs, even if that’s what you were, so reckoned her mum. Nell reckoned Irish was prettier in every way; she thought their cottage was the prettiest in the village, too. She’d look back at their place from the cliff-top, the walls of the house bright white against the green hill no matter the weather. Even on the darkest, greyest day, their house was jolly, with the windowsills and the front door all painted red inside the white. All the other houses were just plain stone.
‘And where do you think you’re going, little Miss Kennedy?’ These were words she hated more than any other, for they came from Mrs O’Neill, whose vegetable plot ran beside her own family’s. Mrs O’Neill would always grab Nell up under the arm as she said those words, too. She’d reckoned Mrs O’Neill was a witch, because she never saw her coming for her, either. Nell never meant to trespass on her field, but especially with there being no hedgerow between the plots here, she’d just forget where she was sometimes, when she was running, with her head full of
44 APRIL 29 — MAY 5, 2021
wonders and dreams. She had a different engine in her from most others, did Nell: her thoughts would always be running full steam and her stomach would always be churning with some kind of excitement, over and over, round and round, like the way ducks’ legs go under water: all the action is happening beneath the surface; but above it you wouldn’t know all the effort she was making. When Mrs O’Neill would stop her, witch-fingers pinching in under her arm, Nell would stop still and stare at her. She would stare and stare, wondering at her stupid question: where did Mrs O’Neill ever think Nell might be going? To the moon? She would wriggle in the witch’s grip and tell her: ‘Let me go!’ And with her arms so skinny and her legs so springy and spry, she would always break free and run home.
‘That daughter of yours has been tearing up my patch again,’ Mrs O’Neill would be banging on the door for her mother to come out. It wasn’t true. Nell never tore up anything. She hardly weighed more than ten feathers in a paper bag, so her dad would always say. ‘She couldn’t tear a spider web if she ran through it with a hammer,’ her mother would tell Mrs O’Neill at the door.
But this wasn’t what Mrs O’Neill was so cross about, not at all. The O’Neills were in the same predicament as the Kennedys – too many sons and not enough land, not enough jobs in the towns to go to, either. The only difference was, Mrs O’Neill was a widow, and she was bitter about it. Her husband, Liam, had died from an abscess on a rotten tooth four years ago; Dan Kennedy had offered to get the tooth out for him, as, being a blacksmith, he was the one in the village most expert and best equipped at such things, but Liam had refused, fearing the pain, and so had paid that most terrible price. As well, all four of the O’Neill sons were lazy and wouldn’t walk into Tralee if you paid them; they wouldn’t chop kindling for their mother, either; they would hardly lift a finger to help her bring in her crop; they certainly wouldn’t dare milk the cow. So, any chance she got to rail and rant, she’d take it. And so Brigid Kennedy would try to keep the peace with her: ‘Mrs O’Neill, if my daughter has done any damage, she will right it for you. Show me, what has she done?’
Of course Nell had done nothing, and Mrs O’Neill would stamp off muttering: ‘You just keep that girl off my field.’ ‘Don’t you worry about that silly old biddy,’ her father would take her up on his knee when he’d come in from the forge and she’d jabber all about it at him. ‘And don’t you repeat what I just said.’ He’d wink. He had the bluest eyes of all the Kennedys, her father did – brightest blue as forget-me-nots. He was the tallest, too, and they were all tall, except for Nell. Her dad was skinny like her, though, while all the others were broad and meaty. He was as skinny as ten pieces of string chucked together, but his arms were strong from his work, belting out rings for the cooper, horseshoes for the farrier, and mending old shovelheads and ploughs. Every fair day he was the man to beat at the arm wrestle. He never lost. In fact, he snapped a man’s wrist one time,
just like a twig, and shame made him pay the poor fellow’s doctor bill before it was even asked for.
Like so many men who are physically strong, Dan Kennedy was gentle in his ways, reluctant to start any fights, too, lest he end up finishing them with consequences he didn’t intend. He taught all his sons to be the same: if it wasn’t worth going to prison for, it wasn’t worth arguing about. And, most importantly, never argue with a woman: no matter what you do, no matter what you say, you’ll never win. He never argued with his wife, Brigid, and that wasn’t all because she was his one true darling. He knew that a woman scorned could be terrifying, especially with so many cooking implements always so handy about them – any and all sensible Irishmen knew that – and he thought now that the situation with Mrs O’Neill might be starting to get out of hand. He was also, at the very back of his mind, a little bit concerned that Mrs O’Neill might well have been a witch, as he’d never once seen her cross herself when passing the old oak up at the road going towards Dingle, and so he told his little Nell here on his knee: ‘You keep away from Mrs O’Neill, keep off her field, my love, and all will be well.’ ‘But I don’t mean to go there,’ Nell whined and squirmed off his knee with a stomp to the floor.
‘There’re lots of things we don’t mean to do that can get us in hot water,’ he sympathised, but he insisted, patting his daughter’s little shoulder with his great coal-dusty hand: ‘Try harder not to go on Mrs O’Neill’s field, all right?’ ‘All right, Daddy,’ she told her father, but she screwed up her nose in disgust. Why her father wouldn’t march over there to the O’Neills’ with a pitchfork was a mystery to her. Mrs O’Neill was not just a witch – she was a liar. The resentment bubbled and brewed in Nell Kennedy’s heart; it swirled and churned inside her belly and her brain. She might only have been five and a half years old, but she could hold the grudge of someone twice that age and ten times the size. She became extra careful at not putting a foot in Mrs O’Neill’s field. She would skip and dance and sing her way up the little dirt path between those two vegetable plots that ran out up the front of their houses towards the sea, and she’d do it just to taunt the woman, but only when her mother or her brothers were looking.
‘Oo, Ellen Kennedy,’ her mother would rouse, but with half a smile curling on her face: ‘You will tempt the Devil in with that act. You stop it, girl.’ She didn’t. Her dancing got madder and sillier every time she took that path, and she’d do it now just to make her mother laugh. Mrs O’Neill would peer from her window, watching the little girl’s every step. Mrs O’Neill could hold a grudge for all of Ireland, in her hurt and crumbling heart. Until one day, finally, Mrs O’Neill got what she was waiting for.
It was the brightest and prettiest midsummer of 1911, and the hillside was awash with all the pinks and lilacs of the wildflowers, little dashes
Wild Chickory — by Kim Kelly of yellow splashing about there, too, and Nell had gone up behind the fields to fetch a posy of them for her mother’s kitchen table. There were rosy trails of bindweed, and clumps of soft violet cuckoo-bells; there were golden buttercups squiggling everywhere as well, and, if you looked very, very carefully, tiny scarlet pimpernels. Nell spent hours up there choosing exactly the right combination of blooms good for picking – she had quite a knack for such artistic things, an eye for colours and shapes that went well together, and such a posy as she was picking now was the one thing her mother was always pleased about her bringing home. But there was something missing from this posy, Nell thought to herself when she’d got a good handful of flowers in her little fist. She turned it this way and that, and it was certainly a lovely bunch, a tiny tree of pinks and golds and purples; it just needed – she didn’t know what.
‘Nellie!’ That was her mother calling from the back of the house, from where she was working by the chicken shed. It was time for Nell to get back home – the sun was starting on its way down to the west, scattering spangles all across the sea, and Nell was to help her brothers, Frankie and Chris, at the milking. She was only learning at the milking, but she was already good at it, her small hands swift and strong – and she was keen, so she didn’t waste any time skipping back down the hill.
When she got near to the bottom, though, she saw a little flicker of something blue in the scraggedy grass behind the O’Neills’: forget-menots. A little pocket of those sweet sun-centred blossoms were swaying softly in the breeze over in the shade cast by the back stone wall of the house. That’s what was missing from her posy. She couldn’t see any face at any window; she couldn’t see anyone about at the O’Neills’ at all, so, quick as a pixie, she darted for their yard, across the lane and over the stile in the hedgerow that ran at the backs of all the fields. She leapt over a pumpkin patch and round the wood pile, and there they were – her forget-me-nots. She snatched up half a dozen stalks, roots and all, and back she ran. Heart thumping and lungs bursting, she skittered back into her own rear yard and into her house, to place the posy in her mother’s white vase. She smiled to herself, Nell did, as she plucked away roots and trimmed off leaves: she hadn’t gone into Mrs O’Neill’s patch, not technically, she hadn’t gone anywhere near her vegetable rows, and she hadn’t even really stolen anything, either. These forget-me-nots were just a bunch of weeds. But she had a little shiver in there, too, as she arranged the flowers in their vase just right: she couldn’t believe she’d got away with it. Because she hadn’t. Mrs O’Neill had seen the whole thing from behind the curtain over her kitchen window. She’d seen the little girl take the flowers from almost right under her nose, and even though they might have been more pests in her string beans than anything else to her, Mrs O’Neill considered that they were her forgetme-nots, and that this was a felony of the worst
order. But Mrs O’Neill didn’t march straight up to the Kennedys’ door. No. She waited this time. She waited until Mrs Kennedy was finished her work. She watched the other woman at her business: taking a chicken with her hatchet. She certainly wasn’t going to pick a bone with Mrs Kennedy while she was armed. She waited until Mrs Kennedy was busy plucking. She knew that Mrs Kennedy enjoyed sitting there in the summer sun of the afternoon, plucking, plucking, contented in the warmth. It would be the perfect time to interrupt her for maximum annoyance – for, oh, Mrs O’Neill was spoiling for a fight.
face if you’re not careful,’ Mrs O’Neill threatened back, and it was a menacing threat of violence.
Mrs O’Neill didn’t knock on the front door as she usually would. She just appeared, like a tortured otherworldly apparition, waving her arms and bawling: ‘Thief! Thief! You wretched little thief!’
Well, didn’t Frankie and Chris fall down laughing at that.
By this time, Nell was way over the other side of the back of the Kennedys’ yard, sitting there on the milking stool and tending to one of the cows; two of the boys – the older twins, Frankie and Chris – were working with her.
At which all four Kennedys – Brigid, Frankie, Chris and Nell – looked up from their work. Even the chickens pecking round the yard stopped to look.
Brigid Kennedy stood, a small cloud of feathers about her: ‘To what do we owe this pleasure, Mrs O’Neill?’ ‘Pleasure?’ The woman was insane with rage. ‘Your daughter stole flowers from my yard.’
They were all still stuck in silence at that, especially Mrs Kennedy, for although she’d surely scold and spank her daughter if this were true, the rage in Mrs O’Neill’s eyes did not seem quite warranted in the situation. After some moments of the two women staring at each other, one insane, one querying, Mrs Kennedy said: ‘Well, all right, now, Mrs O’Neill. Let’s see if we can’t sort this out. Ellen Mary!’ she called and moved towards her daughter, shouting out her whole name to show that the girl was in a big fat pot of hot water. But only Frankie and Chris stood up from their milking, as if she might have shouted Francis-Joseph-Christopher-Luke, as she often did. Nell stayed sitting right where she was, on her milking stool. Her little heart was banging again, and her belly was churning in seventeen different directions, but she kept on at the milking, as if she didn’t hear. Maggie the brown cow’s teats were the easiest of all, and she loved milking her. She wasn’t stopping for anything. She listened only to the ping and splosh of the streams of milk hitting the side of her bucket. How she loved milking. She loved the smell; she imagined it was the smell of crushed up, munched up wildflowers. There was now a small but fierce war broken out behind her, though. ‘Forget-me-nots?’ her mother was shrieking, feathers now flying off her apron as she threw her arms up in the air. ‘You’ll get a policeman round for this, will you? Well, go on then, we could all do with a laugh!’
‘You’ll be laughing round the other side of your
Nell wasn’t sure what that expression meant – she didn’t know how anyone could laugh out of the other side of their face, or if you could have any more than one side to your face at all. She only knew that it was nasty – that Mrs O’Neill was the nastiest witch that ever was. And so young Nell did the only thing she could do, in the circumstances.
As the women argued and chickens flapped and squawked all around them, little Nell angled Maggie’s teat upwards from the bucket in her hot little hand, and she squeezed and pulled that teat with all her care – and squirted Mrs O’Neill smack bang in the middle of her fat red face. In fact, she got her right up the left nostril with a steaming jet of milk.
Unfortunately, so did their mother.
A full-blown feud broke out now between the families. The O’Neill boys, who never got off their lumpy backsides, surely got off them now. For pride is most often the most compelling and dangerous of things. No fists were thrown, but to the Kennedys’ horror, Stanley the stag-pig was found prematurely expired in his stall one dawn; and to the O’Neills’ great alarm, their haystack spontaneously combusted the following night.
Even still, the police were got down from Tralee thrice on matters of more nonsense such as this before Brigid and Daniel Kennedy could bring themselves to agree: to say goodbye to Ballymacyarn. To find some other place to be.
— 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.

B U L C S U B O R P ’S N E OR A NG E M David Ironside opened his first meeting as the club’s new president at 10 am on Wednesday 7th April and asked members to be up-standing to observe a minutes silence for members Ian McIvor and Alan Moad who passed away in March 2021. President David congratulated Chuck Frame, Bruce Chapman, David Cuming, Fred Brooking and Bob Cleal on their birthdays in April. A brief meeting was conducted where details of a coach trip to Parkes to visit the Dish and the Aero Museum on Wednesday 12th May were confirmed. Members and friends intending to take the trip are asked to let Tours co-ordinator John Langford on (M) 0419 289 899 or (H) 6362 6051. Other trips being considered later in the year are a day train/coach trip to Parkes for lunch returning the same day and a visit to the Royal Flying Doctor facility in Dubbo. The program for 5th May meeting is a DVD on farming and farm machinery in the first half of the 20th Century. A very interesting look at how farming progressed from horses to mechanical machinery.
Guest speaker for June is local historian and author Liz Edwards who will present her book on the historic pioneering Dalton family of Orange. Guest Speaker for April was Matt Armstrong from Newcrest Cadia Mining who presented on the organisations Social Performance, focusing on environment, finance and community – dealing with neighbours, councils, chambers of commerce, health and safety of employees and sustainability. Newcrest has 7000 hectares of farming land under their control and leases 12 farms to local farmers Matt spoke of the companies community expenditure, 1% of revenue is invested in Australia, PNG and other countries where mining is carried out.
reached a depth of 685 metres before the company started underground mining. In 2002 construction of Ridgeway commenced and was mined until 2016. This mine is currently in care, but can be put back into operation. Construction of Cadia East, the largest mine in Australia, commenced in 2010 and is still in operation today. Cadia’s cost of mining is relatively cheap compared to other mines. Their underground mining operation is a panel cave using block caving with the ore being removed below the caving remotely. Cadia’s obligations are to water, land rehabilitation, heritage, waste, air quality, Cadia District Enhancement Project, open day tours, community partnerships and support funding scholarship. Cadia expects to mine until 2054.
Mining for gold commenced in the Cadia region in the mid 1800’s and in 1940 iron ore was mined as part of the war effort.
President David moved a vote of thanks and gave Matt a gift in appreciation of giving his time to speak to us.
In 1998 when Newcrest commenced mining they had to move the old village and cemetery of Cadia to start the open pit which operated for a number years and

THUMBS UP to FM107.5 for playing such a great Country music show each morning. Love my Country Music, please play more through the day!
THUMBS UP to the American Style Street Deli cart for their delicious toasted sandwiches. I ordered a special that wasn’t on the current menu from a previous visit. They were not only extremely friendly and helpful, but also willing to oblige in my fussy sandwich desire! Friendly service and some good banter whilst waiting. Well done! THUMBS UP to Orange City Council for a great colour run at Elephant Park. Wonderful to see so many kids outside having fun! Love our community.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for not fixing up the foot paths between Dalton and Bletchington Streets.
THUMBS DOWN to the man in the Subaru on Monday afternoon who decided to pull over and not use his indicator, they are there for a reason and you nearly clipped me when I crossed the road.

ONCE AGAIN, THUMBS DOWN to NSW Service mobile camera on the Molong Road 5am Saturday morning, revenue raising. Sitting in the cover of darkness. No pedestrians, very little vehicle traffic except mine workers, and hospital workers going to work. A BIG THUMBS UP to Daphne and Tess for helping me to fill out my menu while I was in Dudley Private Hospital. Keep up the good work girls. A little kindness goes a long way. THUMBS UP to Shahid from Orange Vet Hospital for his care and kindness in putting our much loved 14 year old dog to sleep forever. THUMBS UP to Everly Jewellers for the very patient and considerate sales person when my husband, who has dementia, was purchasing a watch. THUMBS DOWN to the Isuzu ute with a lawn mower in the back speeding in the downtown area. THUMBS UP to Littles Power. Glen and Alex who always do an amazing job, great customer service, friendly with great communication. Love your work! THUMBS UP to Paul Rudd Concreting and his team for great work, great communication and friendly local service.
THE THUMBS REPRESENT THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS OF READERS AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THOSE OF ORANGE CITY LIFE STAFF. EVERY CARE IS TAKEN NOT TO PUBLISH THUMBS THAT ARE CONSIDERED DEROGATORY OR DEFAMATORY IN NATURE
