THIS WEEK’S COVER

Aren’t you glad Orange City Life is not a newspaper? If we were, you can imagine how much space would be filled with all the issues that are confronting so many of us at this time, it seems everywhere you turn, there’s controversy, and it doesn’t matter whether you look at Federal issues, State issues or Local issues, people seem disgruntled about so many things.

con

Two of the things that concern me more than most, is this growing reluctance by so many people to let others have a different view to theirs, and the way that so much of what we see and hear now seems to not be a reflection of what I’d call mainstream opinion, or so I believe to be the case. I won’t say much more on that, but I do think it’s something we all should think about and possibly do something about, before too many things we cherish get taken completely away from us.

Winning Big:

Argyle Australian Saffron recognised in State Awards — SAM RODWELL —

Turning the clocks back to a few months ago, local producers Angela and Brendon Argyle of Argyle Australian Saffron, were nominated in the 2021 DELICIOUS. HARVEY NORMAN PRODUCE AWARDS via the Earth category. “We were genuinely just honoured to be nominated by renowned chef, Spencer Patrick”, Angela expresses. Fast forward to now, they are taking home top place in their nominated Earth category as state winners. Angela explaining, “Even just hearing we had been nominated was a huge shock. But to win alongside so many amazing producers is beyond our wildest expectations – we are just over the moon about it. We love what we do, and we have worked so hard, and innovated, and taken risks, so this is wonderful validation for us that we are producing something truly special.” With Brendon adding, “We are not actually sure how Spencer Patrick heard about us and got hold of our saffron. He’s worked for Marco Pierre White, but now has his own restaurant 4 MAY 6—12, 2021

and he’s nominating us for a food award? It’s surreal. To take the time to put our little farm in Orange forward – just such an amazing thing for him to do.” Four distinct seasons are required for saffron to prosper. Making Orange a great climate for growing the spice. With Brendon stating, “We do a few things a bit differently and it’s great to be rewarded for taking those risks.” Over 4 years, starting with an original 1 gram whole-stigma saffron, the product line has evolved incredibly fast. To now, spanning across powdered saffron, Nighty Night tea and a saffron cookbook. But that’s not all, they have recently added to their range a Rescue Facial Oil. Angela’s and Brendon’s hard work is certainly finding the deserved recognition after all these dedicated years. However, it doesn’t stop with Argyle Australian Saffron, parents to two young children (aged five and three) and maintaining full-time jobs outside of their saffron work. “It’s a lot to pack in but we absolutely love it,”

Brendon says. Brendon continues, “To be honest, Angela has been the main driving force behind the success. I feel like my strengths are digging, picking, and going to the post office – she’s the brains of the operation. It’s a very hands-on product and with her artistic training and years in business, she’s just gone to another level.” With their state win in the bag, the next step for the 2021 DELICIOUS. HARVEY NORMAN PRODUCE AWARDS is a national judging. Being held in Sydney next month, the locally produced saffron will be judged alongside the other state winners across the varies award categories. Despite the win, Angela and Brendon are staying grounded about the approaching national judging, “We have zero expectations there, it’s just a thrill to be tasted by some of the amazing chefs who are the national judges. But to be honest, it’s nice to dream we could be in with a chance.”

...We were genuinely just honoured to be nominated by renowned chef, Spencer Patrick...

AROUND THE REGION

with Bob Holland

MOVING ART When you’re restricted to base caring for a loved one as I am at present, time tends to drag, and you find yourself doing things you wouldn’t normally do. One of the things I’ve found myself doing, is scrolling through Netflix and Stan looking for programs that I thought my bedridden sick wife might enjoy. Recently, I came across something called Moving Art and, after watching it for the first time, it’s become a regular favourite. Basically, what it is, is a series of roughly 30-minute programs featuring spectacular photography put to relaxing music, little or no talking at all. If you think the David Attenborough photography is great, you’ll love this. It’s really quite brilliant and that’s why I’m telling you about it.

IMAGE BY Monique Diedrich This week’s stunning Around the Region photograph was sent in by Monique Diedrich. Photography is one of her passionate hobbies, you can check out more of Monique’s photos by following her on instagram @ snowdrift_design.

If you have a photo that you would like to share with OCLife readers and would like to see it in print, send through to annabel@oclife.com.au

It’s a series on Netflix and it appears that there has been three seasons with several programs in each. Each program features a theme such as a country like New Zealand, or animals, oceans, and so on. The photography is spectacular to say the least and, the way it’s, done is amazing. It’s all done by someone called Louie Schwartzberg who, when I Googled him, it said this on

Wikipedia Louie Schwartzberg (born February 21, 1950) is an American director, producer, and cinematographer. Schwartzberg is recognized as a pioneer in highend time-lapse cinematography. Schwartzberg is the only cinematographer in the world who has been shooting timelapse film 24 hours a day, 7 days a week continuously for over three decades. Schwartzberg is a visual artist who focuses on connections between humans and the subtleties of nature and environment. There’s a lot more to read about Louie on the web, but I’ll let you do that if you choose to. My purpose here is simply to tell you that such a series exists and if you like brilliant photography, this series is worth a look and it won’t take you too long before you appreciate the extraordinary talent behind it. Apart from anything else, it provides a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing experience and environment for someone confined to bed through illness and the one caring for that person. I think you’ll like Moving Art on Netflix.

COLOUR CITY GIVING GOES ON: showing goods donated as part of Ashcroft IGA’s “Let’s Make Better” charity, Rochelle Ashcroft, Cathy McGrath, and Jessie Blizzard.

Kindness of strangers helping make us Better — DAVID DIXON —

Generosity of Colour City residents increased during the pandemic — waxing rather than waning — Rochelle Ashcroft believes. want to know how much of their giving goes on administrative costs.

Co-owner of Orange’s two Ashcroft’s IGA supermarkets with husband Ian, the company’s “Let’s Make Better” charity has now raised more than $340,000 for local groups in need. Keeping-up with new technology, they also now feature a nifty quick-tap $2 donation scanner that customers can use at a specific check-out when finalising their shopping. Kindness of strangers though has been the most amazing thing of the past 12-months with locals looking past their own worries to support those less-fortunate in the community. Asked if donations to the charity had dropped-off during the lockdowns and post-pandemic period, Rochelle said: “During COVID, we actually did better, we actually raised more money, I don’t know if it was because people were thinking more of their community. “I was surprised by that, I thought people would be more focused on their own problems and survival, but that hasn’t been the case at all,” she enthused. Succeeding for more than 30 years in the grocery game — one of the most competitive of industries — Let’s Make Better developed out of a culture of giving back to the local community that is encouraged in the IGA (independent Grocers of Australia) group. “We set the charity up in 2016, we’d always been doing bits and pieces, and then decided to establish something ourselves to help the community,” Rochelle explained. Like all registered charities with a governing board, people always

“That’s easy, we spend zero on administration, we pay for all administration here. Nothing comes out of the donations, 100 per cent of all donations goes back into the community,” Rochelle said proudly.

“They can donate their bonus club points; like a loyalty card, they can change this at any time to make it a donation or the points go back to them,” Rochelle said. “Or there’s the simple money boxes on the counter, people put change in that as they go out. It’s surprising how much money we raise from that,” she added. Another unobtrusive way that money is raised is via IGA’s “Community Chest” promotion whereby certain shelved items have a donation built into each purchase without adding to the cost of the item: “The cost is no different to the shopper, the supplier funds that,” Rochelle said. Shoppers can also simply buy an extra item as they shop and place these in a special cage located at the front of the store, something we witnessed during the in-store interview as one lady dropped-off a dozen items as we spoke.

Local charitable groups simply make application to Let’s Make Better with all requests assessed with a kind eye, Rochelle explains. “We generally try and meet as many as we can.” Riding for the Disabled — recent recipient of $4000 from Let’s Make Better — is one regular cause that they support. Others include Veritas House Youth homelessness service ($4500) and the Central West Animal Rescue Service. “We’ve just given $1000 to the Cruisin’ Along car rally for Cancer Care Centre. We also make a weekly shop for FoodCare (food bank) for grocery items that they may be short of,” Rochelle said. “Pre-March last year, we also used to have a homeless lunch in Robertson Park and also a kids breakfast program at Bowen School, but we’ve had to suspend those,” she added. This community support is all part of the IGA philosophy, Rochelle explained. “Our view is that, if you’re shopping with us, we’re doing-it together; IGA as a brand is very focussed on supporting the local community.

All monies raised by Let’s Make Better also stays in Orange to help local causes: “It all goes back into the community,” Rochelle said.

Let’s Make Better offers a number of simple ways for shoppers and supporters to help support their good work.

“We’re locally-owned, born and bred,” Rochelle said simply.

The Old Boys Are Back: Keen as Ever to Return for Charity Rugby Game — SAM RODWELL —

“We’re aiming to make this year our biggest yet – it’ll be pretty special this year” On a cool Thursday evening at Emu’s Rugby Club, Melise and I [on her last day with OC Life], came down to speak with the energic old fellas who are hungry to return to the footy field for ‘Give Me 5 For Kids’, locked in for Sunday May 16th. After a forced hiatus in 2020 due to the pandemic, the Old Boys are truly rested and ready to have their grand return to the field as they eagerly communicated to Melise and I, while passing the footy between each other as we conversed. You could feel their enthusiasm for the charity game’s return. This year’s edition hosted again at Spring Hill Recreational Ground in its fourth year of facilitating, will have the day starting off at Emu’s Rugby Club, acting as the meeting point, where gates will be opening at 10:00am and transport generously provided by Cook’s Bus Service is scheduled to leave for Spring Hill by 10:30am. As previously, gold coin donation is required for entry at the gate. Emulator player, Clive Walker expresses, “We’re better to arrive out there early to help set up

anything that still needs to put up.” Before Clive continues, one of the players cheekily alludes to what their fuel of choice, “you’ve gotta get a few drinks in there before the game begins.” We have a little chuckle, Melise responding with “yes, a few lemonades”. Indeed, some needed soft drink to energise the players beforehand. You could tell from how excited everyone was talking about game day, that the community are certainly in for a good time again. Melise inquires if the players will be continuing the traditional shot of Port before they go on the field as happened in previous years. Clive mischievously replies with, “We’re not supposed to have alcohol, but Port doesn’t count as alcohol.” The tradition is being upkept. Once arrived on the grounds, kick off will occur at midday, Reg Kidd will be commentating the match, with a team from Bathurst planned to be opposition – the Bathurst Old Bulls. Clive says, “it’s a different team” [from the 2019 match], he hopes to still see a few of the original players there on game day from the previous Bathurst team to sportsmen

from Emulators, Spring Hill Wood Ducks and of course the Bathurst Old Bulls. The plan is one game, three sides, one side will come off and the other will play for 20 minutes – followed by the final stretch as described by Clive, only the “fittest” will remain to the finish. Clive’s comment is backed up by one of the players with a chuckle, “Whoever’s left.” Throughout the day there is many fun activities for the whole family to enjoy besides from the centrepiece rugby match. From face painting for the kids, wood auction, raffle prizes to win to barbeque smoker – all kindly donated. The return of the Fine Masters will be making an appearance to help contribute towards the charity’s earnings – where the players are happily planning on breaking the rules in the sake of donating more funds. Besides from being a great cause to support, this year’s iteration will be very significant for the players. A touching tribute for one of the founding organisers of this renowned charity rugby match,

the late Barry Winnell, will be made. “This year’s game is very important because we lost Barry [in September 2019]” Clive says respectfully. Clive explains the origin story to how it all began with Barry, “It was Barry’s idea, we play [rugby] at Carcoar every year and we would have a meal at Spring Hill on the way home. After we had a couple of cold drinks,” Clive says with a grin before continuing, “is where Barry had the idea to do a charity rugby game here in Spring Hill.” In honour of Barry’s contribution and memory, the Wooden Duck Trophy craftsman Brian Ripps has recently finished making the ‘Old Boys Rugby: The Barry Winnell Memorial Trophy’ for this year’s game. Many players commented, “it’ll be pretty special this year [involving Barry’s memorial trophy in the game], what Brian has done is incredibly special”. This will be the last year the rugby match will be supporting ‘Give Me 5 For Kids’ as the fundraiser program is retiring this June. However, the players are hoping to continue supporting other charities moving forward into the future.

He added that the early evening concert series saw increased patronage for local clubs, bars, pubs, and restaurants after each concert, with the spill-over effect boosting the local hospitality industry.

uccess of the Future Tunes concert series could see the event revived in Spring.

Created, promoted, and funded by Orange City Council — an assessment on the success of the series of free Friday evening concerts is now being carried-out.

“What people were doing is, going-out afterwards and having dinner or a drink. That’s what it’s all about, when these places get more customers from events like this, they put more people on,” he added.

Orange Mayor (and old rocker), Councillor Reg Kidd, who attended each of the four events involving local performers, has urged the new Council elected in September to maintain the series.

He said that mid-spring, however, is realistically the earliest that the concert series could return meaning that any decision is likely to be made by the next Council.

Local musician, rock promoter, and record studio owner, Pat O’Donnell, said that the concerts helped revive the habit of life music attendance for the Colour City after the long pandemic lockdown which saw no live music performed for months.

“Tunes” could return in future warmer weather

“I really enjoyed it, everyone did. It got set-up really well with a nice crowd,” Pat — who performed at the last of the concerts with The Romans — said. “I think it was fantastic…it was great to see them get back to live music,” he added. “I do appreciate that they bought back live music, it is an industry I’ve been working in since 1990.” He believes that the series organised at moderate cost — a figure believed to be something less than $20,000 — should be revived again in the spring. “I’m sure Council spent the money appropriately, it was done really well, I’d love to see it again.” Pat believes that the COVID-19 lockdowns that saw live music performances banned highlighted the importance of the industry. “I suppose one thing we have taken from COVID, is maybe how we’ve taken for granted how important music is. We realised how much we did this miss it.

“Historically, people don’t like sitting in the cold. It needs to be at a time when the weather is warmer, say October,” he added.

“But we are really excited now, we’ve done well, we’re opening back up for business,” he said. Pat believes though that Orange needs a dedicated live music venue for larger live events: “It would be great to see dedicated live music venue like The Victoria in Bathurst,” he said. Employment and Economic Development Policy Committee Chair, Councillor Tony Mileto said that the review of the success of the concert series — ranging from seasoned performers to school groups — will precede any further events. “The feedback was positive; they were enjoyed by a lot of different people. It was a trial period for

Vets corner with MULBERRY LANE VET HOSPITAL The leaves are turning and the air is fresh! Autumn is here and it’s a beautiful time of year to be in glorious, colourful Orange! But the chill in the air at night can trigger the first signs of a painful condition in our pets. Arthritis affects many pets – the figures are surprisingly high. Around one in five dogs and one in three cats! Arthritis is caused in pets just as in humans – damage to a joint causes inflammation and pain. Movement is restricted and pain can become constant for your furry friend. Arthritis is made worse by injury, by age or by general wear and tear. It’s not just a condition that affects elderly animals – some breeds of dog are more prone to arthritis, and any overweight pet is at risk. Pets can’t tell us how they are feeling – so what signs should a caring owner look for?

Sometimes its hard to remember why our pets need vaccinations and when they should be given. We provide our clients with convenient reminders for vaccinations C - appointments can be booked over the phone or on M line! But why vaccinate at all? Orange is a “hotspot” for a horrible doggy disease called Parvovirus,Y which causes severe haemorrhagic gastroenteritis. It’s highly CM contagious, and can be picked up from the ground MY or even carried on your clothes! Puppies are very vulnerable, needing intensive care in hospitalCYif they’re going to have a chance of recovery. A simpleCMYinjection will protect your dog, so puppies should have a series K of injections starting when they are 6-8 weeks old. Your precious pup isn’t fully protected from Parvovirus until after their third needle, so no outside walks or playing with unvaccinated dogs until after that time. After the initial course to protect against Parvovirus and other diseases like canine cough and distemper, your dog will return for an annual check-up and vaccinations, tailored to their needs. This month your dog receives a FREE worming at Vaccination time! C

Have you noticed your dog looks sore in the morning? Is he reluctant to walk or play? Has their behaviour changed – perhaps she might be snappy when touched. An arthritic dog may limp, show stiffness or have difficulty getting upstairs or onto the couch. If your dog is showing some of these symptoms, then a check up with one of the friendly vets at Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital is definitely needed. In cats it is harder to detect the signs of arthritis. Cats are good at hiding pain, so it is important to keep a close eye on their behaviour. A cat in pain may sit in a hunched up position or spend less time playing and more time asleep than usual. She may become hesitant to jump on or off the furniture, or reluctant to climb stairs. The good news is that there are many treatments for the pain of arthritis, and your pet can have his or her life transformed. Bring your cat, dog or rabbit to Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital for a FREE ATHRITIS CHECK UP.

Cats need an annual injection to protect them from CatFlu, feline enteritis, and if your cat goes outside, Feline AIDS (FIV). Regular worming for cats is important too – worms can give your cat an upset stomach and cause weight loss, anaemia, lethargy and dehydration. The parasites can infect humans too, so always wash hands after playing with your cat and remember to clean the litter tray regularly and disinfect with boiling water. Worming your cat is essential but most cats don’t like it - let us help! This month your cat receives a FREE worming at vaccination time! Protect your pets – with care at Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital.

Kelly’s positive view is to help others look their best Kelly Bond always takes the positive view of life.

Franchisee owner of Orange’s Laser Clinics Australia, she opened her doors in late 2019 only to be confronted with a three-month lockdown a few weeks later. However, the clinic — located at Shop 48 near the Food Court in the City Centre — has “bounced back with a bang” and now features the latest CoolSculpting® technology that effectively freezes away unwanted body fat without intrusive needles, scalpels, or invasive surgery. Customer discounts of up to 40 per cent off a range of procedures is also seeing a rush of new customers to the locally-owned outlet, a dream that took Kelly nearly a decade to fulfil. “We opened in November 2019 and then it hit. I had my home on the line, my husband’s business on the line. For seven years I had pursued this dream, and then we had the lockdown,” Kelly explained. “But I’m a sort of a positive kind of person, I roll with the punches and make the best of everything… when the government announced the grants, I knew I’d be alright,” she explained. “We shut in late March and were allowed to re-open in June, July where we bounced back with a bang and had some really good months,” Kelly enthused. Precautions introduced during the pandemic are still central to their operation and the work they do, she added. “We’re still very COVID-safe, absolutely. We’ve got QR code check-in, we sanitise all touch-points and the

equipment is cleaned after every single client; we also use hospital-grade disinfectant on all our beds,” Kelly, who is a fully-trained and accredited registered nurse (RN), explained. Originally from Vanuatu before moving to Australia, she emphasises that the Clinic is not only locally-owned, but employs an all-Orange staff. “We are all local people and everyone else here was born in Orange, and it is now my home,” Kelly said. While the Orange Clinic offers a range of beauty enhancement services ranging from skin treatments, laser hair removal, anti-ageing treatments, and cosmetic injections, two new processes that are proving increasingly-popular are the CoolSculpting® technology and the Kleresca® skin rejuvenation program. “CoolSculpting® is a fat-freezing treatment with no needles and no downtime,” Kelly said. It uses a process called cryolipolysis to freeze stubborn fat cells to destroy them, these fat cells are then cleared-away by your body’s own lymphatic system. "Once removed, these fat cells can never return, so you get permanent results,” Kelly explained. “You can expect to see a 20–25 per cent reduction in the area treated in a single session.” Clinic Manager Iesha said the treatment is especially helpful for “stubborn pockets of fat.” “We first have a consultation and tailor the treatment for each individual. While we sometimes have more than one session, you can see the results even after the

first,” she explained. “There are no needles, and the lymphatic system flushes the fat cells away.” Laser Clinics Australia are currently offering up to 40 per cent discounts for multiple treatments for abdomens, thighs, arms, chin, and hips. Skin specialist Josh also explained the Kleresca® skin rejuvenation program that involves the use of new technology gels with the aid of fluorescent light to aid collagen production which increases skin elasticity and youthful-looking skin. “The light activates the gel, which in turn stimulates the skin’s own rejuvenation process to improve complexion and overall skin texture,” he added. Another increasingly-popular treatment at Orange Laser Clinic is known as “Skin Boosters”. These are micro-injections of hyaluronic acid that hydrate and repair the skin. “This is designed to prevent premature skin ageing, restore skin density, and maintain skin glow, and improve overall skin quality,” Kelly said. “This type of treatment can be injected over large areas of the face, neck, decolletage and hands to increase the skin’s hydration quality,” she added. “Our Hydro Glow treatment creates a dewy, subtle look, which makes them an ideal solution, if you are not ready to go down the anti-wrinkle or dermal fillers option, and downtime is usually a minimal 24 hours or 48 at the outside,” Kelly concluded.

Ever Thought of Becoming

a Foster Carer? Perhaps Now is the Perfect Time — SAM RODWELL —

“On any given night there’s dozens of children in the region staying in

motels because they don’t have foster home placement available for them.” I had the chance to sit down with Rachel Jones from Anglicare’s Orange office to discuss their up-and-coming information session for potential foster carers. The event is hosted by Nashdale Country Women’s Association and is held in Nashdale Hall starting at 7pm on Friday 14th of May. “It’s really informal. The information will cover the work that Anglicare does, the types of foster care that can be provided. The characteristics of people that make suitable carers, to the needs of children in foster care. We will cover the support systems and training potential foster carers will be provided by Anglicare. Attendees will hear from the day in the life of a foster carer. Hearing from the birth mother whose children were cared for by Anglicare services. There is an opportunity to ask questions at the end and there’s light refreshments as well. This is purely an information session – there’s no obligation to become a foster carer after the event,” explains Rachel. While Rachel and I continued conversing under the warmth of the

autumn sunlight that felt so tranquil, Rachel shares the following, “In the western region, if someone cannot find a foster care placement for a child and/or sibling groups… they end up in motels being looked after by many different youth workers on 12-24hour shifts. The age of these children can range from as young as two years old to ten years of age. Imagine being a two-year-old and you’re living in a motel… children need safety, they need love and normal childhood experiences – everything you get in a home. They get none of that living in a motel that is staffed by carers who are paid to provide that care and are out the door at shift’s end to be replaced by another. This is on repeat. It is very sad, there is an assumption in the community that you just find foster carers but it’s just not the case. And when we can’t find carers – that’s where they go [motels].” After learning about this reality, it certainly felt far removed from the warmth and tranquillity of where Rachel and I sat.

admits. With this information session, Anglicare hopes to see anywhere between 30 to 40 people attending the event and to have community members discover they are eligible to be foster carers. “A lot of potential carers automatically disqualify themselves under assumptions of what they need to be, for example, some people may think they need to a homeowner or have full-time employment. Some people think we will not accept same-sax couples, but we do. The best thing to do is get in touch with us and we can answer any questions you have. Many people find out they are very much so suitable to be carers. There are many different types of care people can provide and it’s not always full-time. It can be caring for a young person or siblings over the weekend, a week, a month, a year and so on.” If you are considering on becoming a foster carer and want to get touch prior to the information session – you can give the Anglicare team a call on (02) 6369 9500.

The Ulysses Odyssey:

Motorcycle Club to Ride across the Central West and back for AGM – SAMUEL RODWELL —

“You don’t have to ride the same road twice” From May 14th to 17th, the collective rumble of motorcycle engines, and tricycles, will resonate across four scenic days this month under the Ulysses Club’s banner. Jammed packed for keen motorcyclists itching to get out and about cruising country roads while soaking in the gorgeous surroundings of the Central West, to socialising over warm meal breaks to circling back for the Club’s annual general meeting. Orange Branch Secretary of the Ulysses Club, Lee Cook says, “The Club is one of the biggest social club organisations in Australia and we exist to encourage motorcyclists over forty to get together, ride and socialise over a common interest. We also have young blokes come along with us too.” “The AGM is the focus for the rides [guided and self-rides],

but for us it’s about people, a community event and tourism – showing off our region as some people may come from out of town.” The AGM is being held at Orange Ex-Services Club on the Saturday 15th at 11:00am, where new officers will be elected.

Saturday 15th beginning with coffee while a classic bike display goes down at the Old Bunnings site at 9:30am. At 11:00am departing Old Bunnings to Orange Ex-Services Club for the AGM and for non-attendees the Molong-Manildra Loop at 2:00pm.

Like many organisations, Ulysses Club has been impacted by the pandemic as Lee explained in the past regular Sunday rides that lead into breaky and brunches had to be reduced understandably. However, Lee is optimistic about starting back up the Sunday breaky rides once the AGM has come to pass in the coming weeks.

Sunday 16th as per tradition for the Club, a breakfast ride to Mount Canobolas. Check website for alternative rides in case of rain and snow conditions on the day.

Guided rides across the four days, starting on Friday 14th is the Cowra via Gooloogong at 9:30am and the going into the Cadia Loop from 2:00pm.

If you are interested in partaking, get in contact with the Orange Branch of the Club via their Ulysses Club’s website: www.ulysses.org.au

Monday 17th will finish off the four scenic days with a ride to Hill End at 9:30am.

I was delighted when RDA asked me to be one of the mentors last year and it was a privilege to mentor Claire Wright from Canowindra High School. I was continually impressed with the example she set for others and I enjoyed hearing about her ambitions and school journey to date. This year, I am equally honoured to mentor year 11 Kinross Wolaroi School student, Eleanor Crawford, who has career ambitions in the law sector. I look forward to working with Ellie and sharing some insight into political life. She strikes me as a friendly, thoughtful and diligent person with all the makings of a future leader!

Families are set to benefit from an additional $1.7 billion in Child Care rebates. Almost half of Australian families will be eligible for a 95% subsidy for their second and subsequent children in care, meaning childcare could cost as little as $6 a day.

Thanks to new tax reform, our local craft brewers and distillers are in for a budget windfall with a better tax deal for this growing local industry. By increasing the excise tax rebate, our local brewers and distillers will see tens of thousands of extra dollars that can be invested in local production and jobs.

The Con: from converted church to Oz’s leading regional music facility

Music lovers are being urged to show their support for the proposed new conservatorium of music by providing feedback to Orange City Council on the project. The development is designed to replace the converted 1980s-style complex in Hill Street that one visiting orchestra compared to “a Soviet-era bunker”.

current use in the 1990s. “We have a teaching staff of 35 but less than 20 rooms to teach in.” “For most of our popular instruments, piano, voice, guitar, we’ve got waiting lists; we’ve got one large auditorium and 25 groups that use it regularly,” he added. The current Orange Conservatorium buildings, compared by a visiting orchestra to a “a Soviet-era bunker”.

Public comment closes Friday, May 7 for submissions on Council’s budget which has set aside about $7.5 million this year for the new building. Orange City Council has its 2021/2022 Budget on exhibition for public comment which factors in costings for the new Orange Regional Conservatorium of $20 million over two years (of which $10M is covered by a Federal Government Grant). A total of $7,525,000 has been proposed for the 2021/2022 financial year with a further $12,400,000 in the 2022/2023 year. “It’s been before Council where it received unanimous support, but now it’s up in the Council budget and they’re asking for feedback,” Orange Conservatorium Marketing and Events Manager, James Buchanan said.

The ageing facility services literally thousands of locals ranging from youth groups to the Orange Male Voice Choir. “We have over 500 students who come weekly and another 400 ensemble members — we reach about 1500 students across all our programs,” he said proudly. “The current conservatorium — it’s almost starting to falldown now, it’s really not fit for purpose,” he said. The Conservatorium hopes that, if all goes according to plan, construction should kick-off towards the end of this year and take about 18-months to finish. Sale of the battle-axe block housing the current conservatorium could then be used to partly-fund the cost of the new facility.

Music lovers asked to show their support for new conservatorium proposal: Orange Conservatorium Finance Operations Manager, Tim Cummins, and Marketing and Events Manager, James Buchanan.

“It will be incredibly difficult to fund, but we’re hoping that some of the land we’re on will help fund the new building,” Mr Buchanan said. Because of its scale, final decision on the conservatorium development is likely to be determined by the Western Regional Planning Panel (WRRP) rather than Council itself.

While the Federal Government pledged to pay half of the $20 million price tag in the last Federal election, Council offered $5 million with another $5 million sought from the State Government which, so far, hasn’t been forthcoming.

A planetarium — a domed structure that has projections of the stars and planets to simulate the night sky on its internal roof — is also designed to be part of the new conservatorium with an 11-metre dome holding 75–80 seats.

“They haven’t got the $5 million out of the State Government, so they’ve decided to fund the last $5 million themselves through the sale of unused assets,” Mr Buchanan added.

Living green walls, internal courtyard, tree plantings, and grassed open space areas, are also designed to be part of the new development in the north court of the Civic Centre. Mr Buchanan said that local music lovers indicating their enthusiasm for the conservatorium funding is not so much to convince councillors, but to show the level of genuine support for the proposal in the community.

The Conservatorium believes that the new facility will be the leading music and education facility in regional Australia and attract national and international-level artists to Orange. Mr Buchanan said that Orange’s musical community has simply outgrown the current facility, a former church that was sold to Council and leased by the Conservatorium for its

The Conservatorium hopes that, if all goes according to plan, construction of the new facility should kick-off towards the end of this year and take about 18-months to finish.

“The Council have so far been extremely-supportive, but they want to have the public proof of that support in the community,” Mr Buchanan said.

THE COUNCIL GAME This week we asked Mock Councillors this – “If you had the power to give Orange a lasting gift, what would it be?” Over the years, there have been a lot of ideas and suggestions from the community about what Orange needs to make it an even better place to live in or visit than it is now. These ideas have covered a myriad of things, everything from water security to special events to major tourist attractions and everything in between. If you had the power to give Orange one lasting gift, one that would take Orange forward for years into the future, what would it be? For the Council Game this week, we’ve invited our Mock Councillors to tell us what that gift would be and why. We’ll then invite the public to vote for their Top Three in order, and then, in the Council Game in a few weeks, we’ll publish the results. We may even offer a reader's prize to encourage voting.

MOCK MAYOR Amanda Spalding One of the good things about being the Mock Mayor in this Council Game, is that I get to read the Mock Councillors’ comments! For this week’s comment of what lasting gift we would give to the people of Orange if we were able to, I am very impressed with the comments from Mock Councillors, particularly Frances Kinghorne and Daniel McGregor as the gift of health and a long-term plan are tremendous gifts. I also agree with Mock Councillor Josh Girle-Bennett’s proposal about not over-developing our beautiful city. I can think of many things that would make a real difference to the people of Orange. My three top ideas are: 1. Having two tiers of government instead of three would be great, and I would get rid of State Government and have regional local government. Australia has very high costs of bureaucracy compared with most other countries. The NSW State Government shifts over $800 million worth of costs to local government each year. 2. I would like to give water security to Orange as a lasting gift. There have been some interesting by-products from our current lack of water security including behaviour change and it made the local community more aware of the need to manage growth rather than have open slather. We are more aware that we need careful town planning and design that makes places that are liveable for all parts of our community and are not dominated by motor vehicles. 3. The gift that I finally decided on, is community leadership. I have worked in local government in England and NSW for many years and have seen great leadership as well as complete lack of leadership, and the impact it has on the organisation and the local community. The most noticeable was going from great leadership to a complete lack of leadership when I worked for a council in Yorkshire whose main industry was coal mining and we had three rugby league teams. The Leader of the Council (equivalent of Mayor) was a nationally-known local government leader who frequently spoke on national platforms and ensured that the issues in our local government area were well known by the national Government. He then decided to leave mid-term and take up a national education policy role. So, the Deputy Leader took over and did not have the same leadership skills, vision or ability and momentum ground to a halt. For those of us working in the council, it felt as if we had been constantly running to keep-up with the Leader and we all respected each other and had enough room to move in using

18 MAY 6—12, 2021

our skills and experience in trying to achieve our agreed longterm direction. When the momentum stopped suddenly, we all seemed to bunch up and bump into each other behind the new Leader and then the fighting started as there was no elbow room; respect and kindness went out of the window. It felt as if we became a backwater overnight with no clear direction and as the mines started to close down, we had no clear response about how to deal with a declining economy or reassure a worried local community as we had become so engaged in internal fighting that we had stopped looking outwards and we lost the trust of the people. So, I would like to give the community of Orange City strong leadership and clear strategic direction into the near and far future. To achieve that, the electors will need to elect someone with experience, independence and strong leadership qualities as Mayor at September’s elections, and give that Mayor a team of like-minded Councillors who will unite the community, not divide it; build a new and inclusive partnership between the council, business and community organisations and will always ask the question – ‘does this really help our community?’

MOCK COUNCILLOR Frances Kinghorne Hmmm. What would be the lasting gift I would give to Orange given the opportunity? For me, health is the most important thing so my gift would be something to enhance local health.

approach would incorporate input from nutritionists, exercise physiologists, psychologists, diabetes educators, GPs, podiatrists and any other relevant health professionals. This would be a one stop shop providing patient centred care, helping people find things that will work for them, things they can actually achieve. Most people who aren’t well or have a chronic disease would definitely prefer to be well, but many don’t feel empowered or able to make the changes that can improve their health. If there was appropriate support available to assist them, our local health outcomes would improve. This would be my gift & if I ever win the lottery it is exactly what I will do - I’d better buy a ticket.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Greater Good There’s been a lot of great ideas for projects and attractions in Orange over the years, many are still being talked about or slowly progressing, but in most cases sad to say, the Robertson Park toilet came to fruition quicker. Like with the toilet, we continue to “hold on” in hope. One of the best ideas I’ve heard (and seen elsewhere) is a giant kiddies’ playground where families flock to from all over the place, and they do this over and over again, even weekly I suspect.

It is well-documented that rural people have poorer health outcomes than their metropolitan counterparts. We are more likely to be outside a healthy weight range, to have type 2 diabetes, to have cardiovascular disease & other chronic diseases. Our cancer death rates are higher.

Now I’m not talking about the typical kiddies’ playground, but rather something that is as much a tourist attraction as a playground, a facility people from even as far away as Dubbo or Lithgow would come from just for their kids to experience it. The facility would have a myriad of imaginative play equipment and areas where kids could ride bikes, scooters or skateboards, even splash about in water fountains etc. when the weather allows. There’d also be a coffee shop on site.

In Orange, there have been improvements in patient facilities over the last decade or so but there are still many procedures for which we need to go to Sydney. Locals who need a heart bypass, a pacemaker, valve replacement, or a PET scan still need to travel for these.

Orange Adventure Playground has been absolutely brilliant and shown how families respond to such facilities, but since it was built, others have taken the concept much, much higher. Orange could steal a march on neighbouring centres and be the first to build such a facility.

I’d love to help-out with providing the necessary equipment and staff to allow more of these procedures to be undertaken locally. However, even more than this, I’d love to set-up a regional metabolic hub, incorporating functional medicine, to provide locals with practical solutions to try and prevent many of the chronic health problems that plague us. A personalised

Can anyone think of another type of everyday free family attraction that offers so much in the way of health benefits, fun and enjoyment, exercise that’s more than just pressing buttons or a keyboard and doing it regularly for years to come? How long has the Adventure Playground been there? Now that’s a gift I’d love to give Orange!

THE COUNCIL GAME MOCK COUNCILLOR Daniel McGregor My lasting gift to Orange would be a comprehensive 50-year plan for Orange. As I’ve written before, there are lots of wonderful things happening around town and as good as these things are, they often feel reactive and I’ve also written about some of the poor outcomes, e.g. the Northern Distributor and the North Orange Woolies intersection. We are now seeing the lack of committed planning coming through in changes to the planning around where the Southern Feeder Road should be going and the original goals around Shiralee. We can also throw the ridiculousness of the Macquarie pipeline into the mix.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Josh Girle-Bennett My lasting gift to Orange would be ensuring that our city is not overdeveloped. While I agree that development in growing regional areas is important, it’s absolutely critical that this development is sustainable. Orange is a great place to live. There is an abundance of beautiful parks, great shops, a museum, aquatic centre, sporting precincts and both Mount and Lake Canobolas on our doorstep. Should I have the privilege to serve on Council from September, I will do whatever I can to ensure that we preserve our unique and vibrant way of living. It is concerning that we are considering additional multilevel carparks that I believe could be built underground, it is concerning that Council are approving lot sizes smaller than 300m2 on a mass scale which is sadly becoming the new normal and it is concerning that roads are being built in new housing estates that aren’t much wider than the width of two small cars put together. I have talked at length about Orange not becoming another suburb of Sydney. Treechangers are leaving major capital cities for a reason! Our city needs councillors who will take a stand, scrutinise the proposals put forward by developers and not allow the bureaucracy to give them a blank cheque. Lot sizes on a mass scale should average 500m2 – 700m2, roads in new developments should allow for cars of all sizes to comfortably drive through to main thoroughfares and development ‘going up’ should be capped at no more than four stories. This is the gift I would like to leave.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Pot Stirrer If I had the power to do so, what would I give Orange that would see us prosper into the future? Whatever I chose, it would be something that had the potential to keep giving over and over again, not just something that’s here today and gone tomorrow. For that reason, I’d start an arm of Council called something like ‘Orange City Council Business Promotion and Development Department’. Its function would be to vigorously seek-out new businesses to come to Orange, ensure vacant Council assets

are unloaded or developed so as not to sit idle forever, market and promote ALL Orange businesses, services and attractions and develop new ideas and initiatives for keeping the city growing. That’s just some of the functions this department could be responsible for. Some may say we have all that within current Council functions. If we do, it’s a joke and it’s not functioning anywhere near as well as it should. Sure, we have parts of Council responsible for a lot of these and those departments are great at justifying themselves with reports, data and reams of useless rhetoric but at the end of the day, it really is all show and not too many outcomes. We need a team of people who demonstrate they are actually walking the walk, not just talking the talk. That’s what I’d give Orange, something that would keep on giving and continue to grow our great city, but faster. I know a lot of people don’t want to see growth, but in a place like Orange, we just can’t avoid it.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Steve Peterson If I had the power to give Orange a lasting gift, it would be better access across the Blue Mountains. Orange is a great place to live. We have good services, amenities, events and employment opportunities. Improvements are always possible and should be sought out but they would not be ‘game changing’. However, transport options to and from Orange are not as impressive. Flights are expensive and prone to disruption. Train and bus options are pretty slow and often not at convenient times. Roads to Sydney are prone to congestion and closure. Current roads are not designed to be a highway accessing the Central West from Sydney, rather they are arterial roads linking numerous Blue Mountains villages with us as an afterthought. Improved transport would have benefits for any business importing or exporting goods. It would improve the viability of local agriculture. It would support the numerous businesses affected by tourism. I would suggest many if not most people in Orange would have some reason to want to cross the Blue Mountains each year and it would improve their lives if this was easier. I think it would be hard to find members of our community who would not benefit from this. Fortunately, this is not an unachievable goal and should be a constant priority for all levels of government and their representatives in Orange.

Orange is full of talented and creative people both inside and outside Council. Let’s harness all of the best ideas and map out a plan for how to achieve ALL of them. Let’s think big, dream big, plan big. And when I say big, I don’t necessarily mean big population, I mean big lifestyle for everyone who lives here and visits here. Water security being one thing at the top of the list, but building new dams or adding a metre or two to existing dam walls is not the kind of planning we need. As a financial adviser, my whole business is built on the idea of planning for the long term and then taking the steps in between to achieve those long-term goals. For mine, the approach should be no different for our city. The lasting gift I would leave for Orange is a well thought out, well consulted and well designed plan for everything we can envisage Orange needing over the next 50 years. Of course, this would not be a set and forget project. It would need to be regularly adapted and modified because things like technology mean that things we can’t imagine today will one day become reality. One of the problems I believe we face at all levels of government is short-termism. It is crippling our ability to achieve the best outcomes for our society. As a regional city with room and scope for anything we can imagine, let’s take advantage of all the possibilities.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Nic Drage There are a number of ideas that I have seen to benefit Orange and make it a better place, however, one that I feel is a little bit out of the box is to address the state of the old fire station on Summer Street. There have been rumblings of a new one, however, for a site that is also on the cards for a multi-storey car park. What I would suggest is for the property that used to house Canobolas Holden and convert that into the new fire station. This would allow for drive-through bays for trucks to make moving them in and out of the station much easier and safer while also not blocking-up traffic on a busy road. The other benefit to this is trucks would be able to choose which direction to take out of the station where currently they must go onto a highway before heading to a set of lights to head towards the fire. This new location would make it safe, and easier for firefighters to get to fires all over orange. While this is not an exciting project, I feel services like this need to be prepared for the growth of Orange.

Colour Revolution looking to the future: Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association ticket for September’s poll: Colin Young, Jennifer Lacey, Amanda Spalding, Bev Williams, Daniel McGregor, and Frances Kinghorne.

Orange revolution

TO SHAKE-UP COLOUR CITY AN “ORANGE REVOLUTION” IS ABOUT TO SWEEP THE COLOUR CITY. Using the local autumnal tones as her campaign icon, mayoral candidate Amanda Spalding said that accountability and the public good are the twin themes for Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association’s (ORRA) first-ever campaign group.

Decade-long ORRA head Colin Young (also on the ticket) said that now seems the right time for the local ratepayers’ group to make a play for some real representation on the Council. “Last election, we endorsed a team — a sort of loose coalition of candidates — but this is the first time we have run our own team,” he said excitedly. “I suppose it’s a degree of frustration with the Council, which seems sadly lacking in oversight,” Coilin added.

The Ratepayers has put together a six-person ticket for September’s poll to bring a new style of leadership with their launch at historic Cook Park.

Number three on the ticket, Daniel McGregor added that he felt now was the time to give something back to his home-town.

Listening tour of local community groups will be first step of this campaign to make Orange Council more accountable — Amanda, ORRA head and top of the ticket, said.

“I’m in my early forties, I’ve got three young kids and I just want to get involved in shaping the future of Orange.

“The first thing we’ll be doing, is talking to community groups about what issues are most important to them,” Amanda explained. “We’re talking about groups like the service clubs, arts groups, charities, it will essentially be a listening tour,” Amanda explained. The former Hay Council General Manager said she aims to be a “very experienced new broom” to make Orange Council a more visionary and outcomes-focused operation. Amanda as the “Mayor” in Orange City Life’s Mock Council column, has been critical of the lack of long-term vision for the city and the ad hoc and opaque nature of much decision-making at the local government level.

“Our team has strong financial credentials and will enhance transparency. We want to be elected so that we can change the culture of Council to one of mutual respect between councillors, staff and the citizens of Orange,” Daniel, Secretary of Orange Business Chamber, said. Born and raised in Orange, Bev Williams, said that, since retirement from the financial services profession, she has become very involved with FoodCare Orange adding: “I am particularly interested in social justice, finding a better way to manage social and affordable housing. We as a community need to provide an environment where everyone feels they have a place and are valued.”

“Essentially, our objective will be along the lines of ‘transparency’ and ‘what’s best for Orange’,” Amanda said. Number two on the ORRA ticket, Frances Kinghorne, agreed.

Jennifer Lacey, a long-time art teacher who is now studying law, added: “My concerns are primarily those of a social justice nature. I am interested in the power of design and careful town planning to shape the character of communities and to care for all members of those communities.”

“Now that we have launched our election team, we will be contacting local community organisations so that we can meet with them and listen to their issues because our ultimate aim is to build trust through transparency and make Orange City Council a council the local community can be proud of.”

A number of supporters of the new ticket also attended the launch with their own views on local government: “I don’t want to see the trees chopped down at south Orange, and I support the new conservatorium of music,” Martha Rochas said.

LITTLE “RIPPER” MAKES LIGHT WORK

AS TAXIS, AND TROLLIES(!) ALL MOVE Relocation of Robertson Park’s cab-rank during current phase of the Lords Place remake has had one unfortunate consequence — the abandoned shopping trollies seem to have gone with them! Because of this major upgrade, the taxi rank in Lords Place has moved from the western side of Robertson Park to its eastern side in McNamara Street.

Summer Street and Byng Street), new kerb and guttering will be built on both sides of the street, followed by new concrete footpaths.

One local driver opined that the move had so far been a success: “Actually it hasn’t been too bad, it’s gone quiet now, but it was busier earlier.”

The footpath on the western side, adjacent to the Royal Hotel, will also have its kerb and gutter removed in the coming days, however pedestrian access with be available during this time.

Meanwhile, a new device helping carve-up Lords Place has joined the various graders, trucks, bobcats, jack-hammers, and concrete saws re-shaping the area. It is the dreaded “ripper” — a fearsome-looking beak-like attachment to a grader that literally tears the road, bitumen, and concrete apart. Orange Council’s change-of-heart to not relocate the rank permanently to Summer Street — as originally proposed under the million-dollar Future City makeover — also received the thumbs-up: “I’m glad they’re not moving the rank, that’s for sure,” he said. Council decided (after consultation) that the taxi rank will remain in Lords Place rather than being moved to Summer Street, as initially proposed. Plans for two extra disabled parking spaces in the taxi rank will also not go ahead. The two ‘top’ taxi spaces at the southern end of the rank will be raised to be level with the footpath for the convenience of disabled and elderly passengers. Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said the temporary “new” location was suggested by the drivers themselves: “The taxi operators believe this is the best plan to allow the taxis to continue to offer their services during the construction of Lords Place,” Cr Kidd said. “We have put up signs directing people where to go for a taxi at the new, temporary rank, in McNamara Street. Council is also putting in extra lighting on the eastern side of the park during this time.” As part of this upgrade of Lords Place (between

People wishing to use a taxi, must use the Summer Street footpath, or walk-through Robertson Park. Access is also available using the Byng Street footpath; however, this path will also be upgraded in the coming months.

Upgrade highlights include a new wider median strip as be the centerpiece of Lords Place and Byng Street (between Lords Place ad Peisley Street). Also, in Lords Place the (2.6 metre wide) median will be planted with advanced new trees, while in Byng Street the (2.7 metre wide) median strip will include a low-level garden. The upgrade also includes changing the Lords PlaceByng Street roundabout from two lanes to one lane. The change will happen by increasing the size of the middle section of the roundabout. So far during construction, the street has remained open and under traffic control for the majority of the work with intermittent road closures kept to a minimum. Businesses owners in the area consulted with Council staff about the upgrade for several months with a forum also held for affected businesses. Depending on the weather, it’s planned that the Future City upgrades of Lords Place and Byng Street will be completed by October. And the trollies? Well, they’ll probably still be here until Doomsday!

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

On the morning of February 7th, 1938, most of the free world shuddered as they read the headlines.

We really were thrilled by nearly everything that played on TV in those innocent days—even the test pattern which used to appear when the stations had gone to bed which was surprisingly early.

“HITLER TAKES SUPREME COMMAND OF THE THIRD REICH” There was little doubt that this was the ultimate step towards another World War. On the other side of the world in sunny Australia, there was an entirely different disaster being reported on the front page.

In record breaking heat on what became known as “black Sunday”, thousands had flocked to take part in Sydney’s favourite pastime, surfing at Bondi beach.

“TWO HUNDRED SURFERS SWEPT OUT TO SEA BY THE BACKWASH OF HUGE SEAS YESTERDAY AFTERNOON,” reported the paper. Four people drowned and scores were rescued in the last stages of exhaustion as a sandbank gave way in heavy seas.

One of those rescued was Bill, an Oral History group member, who remembers when the sandbank on which he and dozens of others were standing that hot afternoon, gave way.

“I was 13 and was just able to swim 50yards when I suddenly had nothing but water beneath my feet. A little boy near me called out and I held him up until a lifesaver put us on his surfboard and pulled us in.There was a great crowd watching from the shore.”

The record-breaking heat was back again the following summer when group member, Doreen, was born in Forbes on a day on which the thermometer recorded a temperature of 114degrees in the old measurement.

Television was to bring an exciting new dimension to our lives

HEADLINES

“It was one of the hottest days in the history of Forbes”, said Doreen. “There were no air conditioners in those days so I was wrapped in wet towels to keep me cool.”

The horror of the bomb remained in our minds though as we all realised that the world would never be the same again.

Although Doreen’s birth did not rate a headline, the Oral History group was recently remembering the news items which rocked our world and which have stayed etched in our memories. The Second World War made a big impact, although most of our group were really too young to comprehend the reality, but a few events left such a lasting impression.

When Japanese POWs broke out of the Cowra camp in 1944, “My father polished his shotgun, got cartridges and took it to bed with him,” said Keith.

“I had two brothers fighting in the Islands,” he said, “and it meant they would come home."

First in May, 1945, Germany surrendered and finally, in August came the headlines:

JAPAN CAPITULATES : DELIRIOUS JOY IN AUSTRALIA

No matter how old we were, the emotional relief which gripped the nation remained in our memories.

Darwin was bombed in1942 and although, the vast destruction was not revealed at the time, the fact that our own shores had been attacked, shattered the innocence of all Australians.

The dropping of the atomic bomb which led to the Japanese surrender, was a very significant happening for Stuart.

And then the war ended.

“I remember my parents being so happy. We went into town and it seemed to me that the whole of Orange was walking down Summer Street.”, said Dick. “Everyone was hugging and laughing although there was sadness too because some boys in my class had lost fathers,” said Keith.

1956 was a big year for Australia when the Olympic Games were to be held in Melbourne and it was for this event that every effort was made to introduce that amazing new invention-television. Mick remembered holding his little daughter on his lap while they both enjoyed the cartoons.

John ,not only saw the deluge of the 1956 floods with his own eyes but much of the devastation was brought into our own homes through our magic new boxes. When the Russians launched the first space craft ,known to us as “Sputnik” we were able to catch glimpses of it on our sets. Tim had a better view.

“I was in the back country in a mustering camp and I saw it in the night sky while I was lying in my swag. It was fantastic.”

There were so many world events that we were able to view so closely now we had the miracle of TV in our living rooms. We felt the excitement of the first man on the moon and the impact of the assassination of John Kennedy.

In fact, we decided that if you could remember what you were doing when you first heard a news item, it had made a huge impression.

“I was getting a bottle for my baby when I heard the newsflash about Kennedy,” Pauline told us and most people could also place exactly where they were at the time. The Oral History Group looked at our memories of news events in our lifetime with much nostalgia and a consciousness of a loss of innocence as we have taken our place as a nation in world affairs.

We are no longer the isolated land at the bottom of the world and it’s been fun, and a bit sad, to realise how it has all changed. Copyright Helen McAnulty

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.

MAKING WAVES

‘Tell me what happened when you all went on the ship,’ I ask Grandma’s sad smile, trying again to get her to tell me one of her stories, to take us away, but she only looks away, out through the blinds. She’s looking towards town from the kitchen window. I don’t think she’s really looking at anything, though. I look down at my skirt: it’s green, with tiny white polka dots, and round the hem there are two rows of purple zigzag ribbon – rick rack, it’s called, and it’s wavy, like the sea. I remember asking Granddad, when Grandma finished it, ages ago, how she got the ribbon to stick on the skirt, because I couldn’t see any stitches in it, and Granddad winked at me and said: ‘Magic.’ Grandma says now: ‘What did you say?’ I ask her again: ‘Tell me about the time you all came on the ship, to Australia.’ It’s a story she’s usually happy to tell, with Mum groaning, ‘Oh, not that one again.’

38 MAY 6—12, 2021

But Grandma says, ‘Not today, Bridge love.’ I don’t think she really heard me anyway. Her cigarette smoke swirls between the slats of the blinds and all along the window. When I look down again, the purple zigzag waves on my skirt look like the picture of the sea that Sister Regina drew on the blackboard in her history lesson just before we broke up for the holidays. She drew some sailing ships above the waves and told us all that Australia was stolen from the Aboriginals by the British Empire in colonial times. She got into trouble for that – someone made a complaint. Granddad shook his head at the fuss and said, ‘That poor, sweet sister is only a child herself – and she’s right.’ I wish I could tell Grandma that I miss him, too. But I know my missing him is nothing to talk about. It’s just a drop in her ocean. I eat the rest of my burnt circle toast instead and then I go and sit on the sofa, to leave her to look out the window in peace. I remember

the story of how she came to Australia. I can tell it to myself, today.

ALL AT SEA Still with half a hope of finding a miracle that might allow them to stay, Dan Kennedy went round to Father Maloney, their village priest, to see what he had to say. Now, Father Maloney was not unlike Stanley the stag-pig had lately been, in that he was fairly much on retirement, only he was, on this occasion, slightly more alive. ‘Have you considered Australia?’ the old priest asked him straight out over a whiskey, in his little presbytery out the back of the church yard. And Dan Kennedy shook his head: ‘No, Father, I haven’t.’ It was an odd question, so Dan thought. Why should he have considered going to Australia, when he thought Dublin was too far away at a hundred and seventy miles? He knew Australia was a long way distant. He knew of whole families that had gone

there, whole chunks of Ireland removed during the famine in his grandparents’ day, and all the hard years after, never to return. He heard stories of those who had died starving and filthy on the long journey, too. But he didn’t know just how far away it was. So he asked the priest: ‘How far is it to Australia then?’ ‘Twelve thousand miles, thereabouts,’ said the priest. ‘Twelve what?’ Dan almost spluttered his mouthful of whiskey all over the priest. He couldn’t imagine such a distance. Limerick, to him, was the furthest he’d ever been known to travel anywhere, eighty miles, and that was only once, to sow a wild oat before marrying – and there he’d met Brigid Sheady from Shannon instead, who was only there farewelling her brothers bound for Canada. His own brothers, all younger, were in America, in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh – five of them, left one by one across the 1890s, his three sisters all marrying men who did the same, and he’d never heard from any of them again, apart from a brief letter here or there, which Brigid had to read for him. It was something he didn’t like thinking about much less discussing – this heartbreak of illiteracy and distance. Well, that’s that done for a consideration, he thought. Australia might as well be on the bottom of the sea then. He couldn’t take his family there. If they were going to leave Ireland, maybe they’d just have to go to America – if they could get in. It was getting harder and harder to settle over there, he’d heard. It was getting harder and harder to see his way clear. Only one thing was certain: they weren’t going to Dublin – that city full of trouble and sin. ‘A man can make something of himself there, in Australia,’ Father Maloney went on regardless. ‘The sun shines ceaselessly, the trade unions are strong, and there are jobs aplenty as the government has lately thrown every black man and Chinaman out of work.’ He said that last as if God might approve, and added: ‘Do the work no Englishman can lower himself to do and you’ll rise above them. Wages for a dustman are highest across the Empire. Your boys will have the best opportunity there.’ ‘But is it a safe place, free of trouble? A moral place?’ Dan Kennedy asked, thinking ceaseless sunshine, high wages and jobs aplenty was sounding a bit too good to be true. And yet the priest told him, ‘Oh yes,’ sitting back in his chair, a little bit the worse for drink but no less convincing for it. ‘Cardinal Moran has transformed Sydney into the Irishman’s Paradise – there’s a church on

every second corner, and a pub in between. It’ll be the best thing you’ve ever done. My nephew over in Tralee, he’s with the immigration office at Customs House – he’ll get all the papers done for you.’ And for a not insignificant fee that’s just what he would do, too. Brigid sighed when her husband came home and told her of the idea. ‘Well, my darling,’ she said, for want of having this over with, ‘let’s make it done then. You know I’ll go anywhere with you, and if we’re going to go anywhere, if we’re going to take such a risk, then why not take the biggest risk, take the biggest distance of all?’ Dan nodded, tired of thinking about it, too: ‘Yes. Why not?’ Who was he to doubt the word of a priest anyway? ‘We’re going to Australia!’ All the Kennedy boys jumped around the kitchen, hooting and hooraying, especially young Dan – he hooted and hoorayed with relief. Anything had to be better than staying stuck here in backward, nowhere and nothing Ballymacyarn. Little Nell wasn’t so sure. ‘But I don’t want to go to Austra-whatever-itis. I want to stay here,’ she said, but her small voice of trepidation could not be heard that day. Nor on the day they left Ballymacyarn, their papers in order, their little farm sold, the forge, too, their tickets booked on the train that would take them to the ship that would take them to Plymouth, so that they could meet another ship that would then take them – into the black of endless night, Nell feared, although she didn’t quite know why beyond the not wanting to leave all that she had ever known, never mind the boggling terror the train whistle brought her as they pulled away across the Kerry countryside bound for Killarney, bound for Cork. Her father was quietly fearful himself as he held her little hand up the ramp of the first boat, a rusting mail packet going out of Cork Harbour; he could barely believe that he’d just spent almost all of their earthly worth on their fares and accommodations and fees – £243 in all – and that he was about to do something he never dreamed he ever would do: set foot in England. Dan Kennedy would rather have gone via Canada, or New York, straight across the Atlantic – he’d rather have gone via Iceland in a tiny curach with all his children piled up on his head and Brigid on his knee – if he could avoid setting foot in England by doing so, but it couldn’t be arranged. As they left the Irish coast from the mouth

of the Lee, Dan Kennedy held his small daughter’s hand tighter for seeing his green country disappear into the grey of the mist and the sea for the last time. There was no question of ever coming back; it was not in the realms of his imagination, nor practical reality, that he would ever raise the fare again to return. He would never again have a farm to sell – nor a Father Maloney to arrange for the church to purchase it at such a fair price as he’d got, or so he’d been assured. That his family had held on to that little patch of Ballymacyarn through famine that stole a million lives, and before that through generations of penury by taxes and rents charged by generations of lords who ruled over them, only for him to leave now in this whispering, dragging defeat smashed him to pieces inside. He felt so near to crying, his wife knew not to say a word to him as he gazed out across the Celtic Sea. Instead, Brigid allowed a fight to break out among Frank, Chris and Dom over their positions at the ship’s rail, which prompted the older boys to devise a distraction by applying their lips and great lungfuls of breath to their palms for a grand chorus of farting in farewell to Erin, which could not fail to make their father smile in gratitude for all he truly owned. And when they arrived in Plymouth, twenty-two freezing February hours later, Dan Kennedy could almost have wept for seeing the vessel that would take them onwards: the Orient Steam Navigation Company’s RMS Oberon was no coffin ship of old: it was sturdy and clean and new, with four bunks in each of their two cabin rooms, a great big dining hall and plenty of decent food. They would survive the journey. Although little Nell remained unsure. The potatoes were lumpy and floury, the stews were thin and the bread was always stale. Nell would never have made so much as a squeak of complaint at such things – she’d learned too well, even at the age of only lately turned six, that whining about food not being to your liking was a mortal sin. She kept her concern shut up tight behind her big blue, worried eyes, but worry indeed she did. She was sure that it was the potatoes’ fault her mother was sick the whole way on the ship so far – after all, they made Nell herself gag just about every day. But of course Nell couldn’t have known the real reason her mother was unwell: it wasn’t the potatoes; it wasn’t even the swaying and rolling of the sea. It was another baby coming, one not even her mother yet knew about. Whatever the cause might have been, to see her mother so poorly all the time, was evidence to Nell of the wrongness of the

Wild Chickory — by Kim Kelly world opening up around and around her as the weeks unfurled. With each new glimpse of its wideness and strangeness – through Gibraltar, Toulon, Naples, Port Said, Suez, Colombo – with every wild sight and odd smell, Nell’s fears drove deeper. They churned and tumbled inside her, in a way she’d never known churning before. Her worries whirred in time with the ship’s engine and buzzed amid the clattering clamour of foreign tongues. She wasn’t sure where it occurred – it could have been Egypt or Ceylon – but a man with skin as rusty-brown as hot, steaming chicory and a turban as blue as the sky, bent down to her and, smiling a half-toothless smile, he touched her on the head and scared her almost half to death. She was with her brother Dan, and she hid straight behind his leg. Nell was not a hider behind legs, though. She was a girl who, despite her smallness, would always put herself up the front of the line. What was wrong with her? ‘Don’t worry,’ said Dan, always the gentlest of her brothers. ‘You’re as strange to him as he is to you – he only likes your mad red hair.’ ‘Well, I don’t like him,’ Nell said, and shrank further away. She didn’t mean to say such an awful thing – how can anyone not like or like a stranger? It was strangeness she didn’t like, in all its many colours, a small and silent burden of dismay she’d carry like a pebble from now on. ‘Oh my dear God,’ her mother crossed herself when they finally found Australia. She was reading a newspaper, in a place called Fremantle, with still several days’ sailing to go, and she’d just learned from the page she was reading that the Titanic had sunk. ‘What’s the Titanic?’ Nell scrambled to her mother’s side, searching the sea of newspaper words for sense, although she couldn’t yet read much herself. ‘A big ship,’ her mother said, more to her father than to her. ‘The biggest passenger ship in the world. She’s hit an iceberg – in the Atlantic. Fifteen hundred lost – oh, those poor souls!’ Her mother did something else then that Nell had never seen her do before: she allowed her eyes to well with tears and even let one of them fall down her cheek. Of course, Nell couldn’t have known

40 MAY 6—12, 2021

that this tear, like all her mother’s disconcerting poorliness along this voyage, was only another sign of the baby who was on his way. No, to Nell, this was all more proof that whatever this journey was that her parents had embarked upon, it was the worst thing that could have happened. And after thinking about it for quite some time now, Nell realised that there was only one person in all of her family that could be blamed for what had befallen the Kennedys: and that was her small but wicked self. It was Nell’s fault that they’d had to sell up and leave their farm; it was Nell’s fault that Stanley the stag-pig was killed in his stall with his blood all running out into the mud along the edge of the stone path there and reaching towards the back step; it was her fault that they were all here now, tossed on the black sea, bound soon, surely, to hit a subtropical iceberg and plunge to the fathomless depths – just like the Titanic. If only she hadn’t teased and taunted Mrs O’Neill, and squirted her with Maggie’s milk.

into her soul as some kind of knowledge now, and her little pebble of dismay at strangeness became tight wound with threads of guilt. Small pebbles wound with thread or not are easily put away in pockets or tied in the end of your handkerchief, though, aren’t they, like a rosary bead or a Saint Christopher medal slipped off its chain, and such was Nell’s, so that in the photograph that was taken of the Kennedys by a curious immigration officer when they disembarked in Sydney, you couldn’t tell she carried a pebble at all. Her smile was the sunshine itself that glimmering, shimmering afternoon they arrived at Circular Quay. It was a perfect day of warm, bright light and cool, sweet breezes. Seagulls swirled; tram-bells dinged; there was a welcoming smell of fish and chips wrapped in newspaper, and although Nell has never known any fish and chips but those her mother had cooked for her, it smelled something like home. It wasn’t near as green, but it was vastly more blue – so blue, if the sky could shout out and throw its hat in the air, it would. It was the twentyninth of April, 1912, or perhaps it was the thirtieth – no-one could ever precisely remember the date – but they were here, somewhere, at last.

So, somewhere between Adelaide and Melbourne, and wedged as she was between two of her brothers, Tom and Jack, at the foot of her mother’s bunk, Jack, who was seven, whispered out in the night, half in annoyance and half in concern: ‘Nellie’s crying.’ ‘What’s got you, girl?’ her mother was quick to sit up and hold her daughter to her as she sobbed, and quick mostly to try to prevent the other four boys in the bunk above from waking up at the sound. But Nell had dwelt on this so long, she fairly wailed it out to wake all of steerage up. ‘Nell, you silly girl,’ her mother said when her daughter had finished blubbering and carrying on. ‘You might be trouble, but you’re our trouble, and a slim package of it at that. We are blessed to have you in our hearts – never doubt that. But you didn’t cause us to come on this ship. It is arrogance to think such a thing – and arrogance is a sin. Be quiet now and go back to sleep.’ Nell did as she was told, she quietened her tears and snuggled back down, but despite her mother’s reassuring warning of hellfire if she didn’t stop thinking everything was her fault, it had seeped

— 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.

PUZZLES…. PUZZLES…. PUZZLES…. We’ve again included extra puzzles to keep you amused during those times of isolation we’re now facing. OC Life sincerely thanks Auspac Media for their generosity in providing these puzzles to us at no cost, all for the added enjoyment of our readers.
