THIS WEEK’S COVER

We were reminded earlier this week why winter in Orange is such a talking point. We had family over from Newcastle for the weekend and they had real trouble coming to grips with our different climate, Minus-4 mornings just don’t happen in Newcastle. While here, our daughter-in-law read the last two issues of Orange City Life and took time to tell me what a great read they both were, she particularly liked the Council Game concept and enjoyed the puzzles. I do wonder how many people actually tackle the puzzles, especially since our son’s family and our in-laws from Dubbo always look for them when they visit. It was great to hear recently that a kiosk and toilets have finally been added to the Naylor Pavilion at the showground and, although I’m one of those who can’t fathom why such basic additions could cost so much money to add ($600,000 plus, was it?), the fact remains they’ll help open the facility to a whole range of new activities and opportunities. It will be interesting to see what eventuates and especially if they can now come-up with a way to provide suitable heating. I also note Council is seeking input from the community on the future of the fairy lights along Summer Street. The lights certainly are bright and definitely make a statement, so it will be interesting to see what feedback Council gets and then what they do about it. My view is that although bright, they lack character and imagination and are what would have been quite spectacular back in the 60s and 70s, bit out of date in todays’ world. Just saying….

Remembering

Pat Ford

Left to Right - Pat Farrell, Sue Ford, Bill Ford and Dan Dougherty

The fight that created a legend — SAMUEL RODWELL —

Reg Kidd, Dan Dougherty and Tony Ford

“Pat was a happy, go-lucky bloke, a great boxer and one of the best I’ve ever fought.” At 90 years-of-age, former CYMS (the Catholic Young Men’s Society) boxer Dan Dougherty recollects the glory days and the last-minute boxing match with his mate, the late great Patrick “Pat” Ford — who would later become an Australian boxing legend. While visiting the newly-unveiled Orange Regional Museum exhibition, Pat Ford: Pride of Orange, Dan and I spoke about the “Boxing Butcher” before the young fighter had begun his extraordinarily-brief fighting career. “It was the good old days. Pat and I were about 16, we were really good mates... good old Pat and I were. About 50 years of friendship... it has certainly gotten away pretty quickly,” Dan says with a quiet laugh. As we carefully glance over the rare, curated images, film footage, and memorabilia throughout the display, Dan recalls a story prompted by the unique exhibition, and one which might have been the catalyst for Pat’s amazing professional boxing career. “I joined the CYMS Club when it first opened. I never thought of joining the boxing team for CYMS... until they were short of a boxer one night.

The story had a happy ending for Pat, not so much for Dan though: “Pat was very fast in the ring, very fast. I was lucky to score a punch on him. Because most of the time, when you swung a punch, he was gone, looking at you from the other side of the ring.

“The bloke that was supposed to fight Pat, had bailed-out. They asked me, out of the blue, if I wanted to get in the ring with Pat... so they could still have their fight,” he says with a laugh. “Otherwise, that would have been the main match taken out of the program. I said, ‘I guess I’ll fill in for the other bloke’... straight off the street. I was out of condition at the time too,” Dan says with a grin. As the former boxer elaborates, “I didn’t even tell my father I was going into the ring with Pat, and my father was up at CYMS that night... and saw me getting ready to go. He said to me, ‘What the bloody hell are you doing in here.’ And I told him what was going on and, shortly after that, the fight was on. “Three rounds are a bloody long way to go when you’re boxing against Pat, even more so when you’re not in good condition to fight. Somebody yelled out when I was getting a bit tuned-up during the second round, ‘Dan must have had too much cheap plonk.’ Because they had seen me down at the pub with an uncle of mine the week before drinking beers. That’s the reason I was knocking-up,” Dan admits sincerely.

Original CYMS Sports Club Member, Dan Dougherty looks-over the exhibition for local boxing legend, and his good friend and former fight partner, Pat Ford.

“He was bloody quick. We both enjoyed the fight that night. I was so glad that it wasn’t four rounds in the ring, three was enough for me. I don’t remember if there was any blood drawn... well definitely none drawn from Pat. But I made 10 shillings that night... my father gave me the coin for losing the fight,” Dan pauses with a smile across his face, laughing softly. “Pat said to me years later, if I had beaten him, he wouldn’t had taken up professional boxing. Not that I was a bad boxer myself by any means, but Pat was the only one that could give me a hiding. Two years after that fateful boxing match, Pat went professional,” Dan concludes. Pat Ford went on to win the Australian Lightweight Title with his achievements later recognised by the Victorian Past & Present Boxing Association, the Orange Sporting Hall of Fame, and the Australian Boxing Hall of Fame.

Pat Ford: Pride of Orange is on at Orange Regional Museum until the end of October. 4 MAY 20 — 26, 2021

Comment AROUND THE REGION

with David Dixon

OCLife

BRRR, HERE’S TO THE “FOUR SEASONS!” “Everyone complains about the weather, but no-one does anything about it,” was (supposedly) one of American literary legend, Mark Twain’s whimsical observations. Well, we’re doing something about it now, if “doing something” can describe our rather quixotic efforts to change the climate in 50 years’ time by closing down our fossil fuel industries and building bird-chomping wind turbines around the country! Thankfully, the first really cold spell always seems to dissipate this “we’re all doomed by climate change” drumbeat from our media and timid politicians, at least for a few short weeks. For this, and a number of other very good reasons, I love the cold. Watching my son’s football (soccer) teams slide around on icy, wind-blown, Waratahs last Saturday while I cheered myself hoarse from the sidelines rugged-up in a good-old English duffel-coat (with real wooden toggles), I thought, ‘this is why I love the Central Tablelands’. Heading-out last weekend to collect stray firewood from my property as the biting wind battled my cable-knit jumper for supremacy, I felt again like a teenager, shifting about a tonne of wood in quick time. Having grown-up in sub-tropical Liverpool in Sydney’s steamy southwest, I immediately took to the real four-seasons feel of the region after first arriving 35 years ago so that my fiancé could study early childhood teaching at the-then “Mitchell College of Advanced Education”. The hot, dry, and timeless feel of our summers; the first morning tang in February of approaching autumn; the trees changing a thousand different hues of reds, yellows, and browns; the first rude arctic blast of winter; dozing by the fire in the grey, somnolescent evenings; the smell of cutgrass in our peerless, though changeable, springs, and so we go around again. I once had a linguistics lecturer originally from Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka) who said that, in his homeland, no-one ever spoke of the weather, such was its daily consistency. He said it would seem akin to commenting on the only-ever slightly varying day-lengths of the tropical island. Me, I chat about the weather incessantly, mostly to the casual acquaintances one gets to know in supermarkets, sports events, and at social occasions. As nature abhors a vacuum, so do I. So, when I am in a conversation slowly petering-out to that embarrassing silence we all find so uncomfortable, the weather is my stand-by topic.

One of my pet theories (which I invariably bore people about), is that locals who grew up in the Central Tablelands, often find our relatively-cold winters more irksome, probably due to having experienced far more of this weather, much of it in their growing years. While for “newcomers’ like myself, it still retains a sense of novelty with no child more excited at the first snow-fall. In fact, it is often I that has to drag our reluctant children, local born-and-bred, outside to build the obligatory snowman (or is it now, “snow-person”?) each winter. Great larks, as they say!

Thank you!

Work behindthe-scenes warmed Frank to Salvo’s BUSINESS ICON FRANK O’HALLORAN (AM) KNOWS EXACTLY WHY THE SALVATION ARMY IS HIS FAVOURITE CHARITY, HIS WIFE TOLD HIM SO! Former head of QBE Insurance launched this year’s local Red Shield Appeal with a personal $100,000 donation kicked in the can at the traditional luncheon in Orange. Another $34,000-plus was also raised at the subsequent auction, including of sports memorabilia and AFL grand final tickets, that usually launches the Salvo’s major fundraising drive each year.

“Why I support them, is the work they do behind the scenes is invaluable.

— despite the range of charity and fundraising novelties that now clutter our social space.

“They help over a million Australians a year, they provide one and half million meals a year, and they support 43,000 victims of domestic violence, and they do it all behind the scenes,” he said.

“They’re still in fashion, they don’t have a bad-bone in their body,” he said of the Salvation Army.

Helping the homeless is another major area of support by the Salvation Army with a video presentation at the event adding: “For every homeless person you see, there are 13 other people out there, and that is a frightening thought.” Chairman of the local Red Shield Appeal, Tony Rodd from Westpac was ecstatic over the fundraising lunch success to kickstart this year’s Appeal. “At the last count, we’ve raised $134,000, Frank donated $100,000 of that,” he said. “I believe that he always donates that amount but, since he ventured out here, he has now given that to the Orange Appeal,” Mr Rodd said. He said that the other $34,000 raised was also a “great result”. “We normally average about $20,000, so we’ve well exceeded that,” he said. Mr O’Halloran said that the Appeal — which involves volunteers door-knocking throughout the community, has lost none of its significance

Local school captains featured as special guests at the fund-raising event with Mr Rodd saying that publicity for the lunch often sees a spike in volunteer numbers with local school students normally featuring. “The more heavily publicised this event is, the more doorknockers that might turn-up,” Mr Rodd said. “We always invite the school captains, because schoolkids are our best volunteers. Our school student volunteers for years and years have been our frontline and, for that, we must thank them,” he said. Like most events in early 2020, the Appeal moved online due to the COVID-19 lockdowns: “We didn’t have one last year, we had a E-collection, which went alright” he said. In 2021 however, the traditional door-knock is back in the material world and is being held locally on the weekend of Saturday–Sunday, May 29–30. “That’s the tradition, it is always the last weekend in May,” Mr Rodd said. “But we always do well, Orange is a generous place,” he concluded.

“I’m an Albury boy, one of 11 children, from a farming family,” Mr O’Halloran said. “I met my wife, Rosie, in 1966 and she was Lifeline volunteer for 15 years and she said to me, ‘Frank, when you retire, I want you to join the Salvation Army, for people we deal with, the Salvation Army is always there for them’,” he explained. Later, in his address, he added: “My wife would say she got a phone call from such-and-such, and thought, ‘who am I going to phone to help?’ and she would ring the Salvation Army.” Chair of the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal in Sydney for seven years and developer of the new private hospital in Orange, he has now thrown his support behind the local appeal.

Local Women recognised for their community contribution

(L-R) Member for Orange, Philip Donato, Mrs Robyn Livermore, and Mrs Beverley Rankin.

— SAMUEL RODWELL —

In a combined event at Uniting Church Hall, with friends and family of both women in attendance, Mrs Beverly Rankin was recognised as Local Woman of the Year 2021, and Mrs Robyn Livermore was presented an award for her inclusion on the 2020 Hidden Treasures Honour Roll.

exponentially, including the development of an innovative high school outreach program, annual ‘Pilgrimages to Uluru’ to assist Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal teenagers to explore our cultural heritage, advocating for people experiencing family violence, and much more.

Beverly was recognised for her years of dedicated service to the community. This began in the late 70s, when Beverly trained in Youth Work with Fusion Australia.

In 2020, while many sources of low-cost or free meal services were shut down due to COVID-19, she initiated the Hot Meals Outreach. Beverly and her husband also host young people in need of out of home care, and she is actively involved in the Orange Uniting Church.

It wasn’t long before Beverly left her full-time job to work full time with Fusion, as an unsalaried vocational staff person. While the scope of her work has been broad, her special interests included working with secondary school children to help them explore a sense of purpose and spirituality. In 1989, with Fusion, Beverly and her husband played a critical role in establishing a residential youth work training centre, with a focus on equipping high school staff with the skills for youth support. Since then, Beverly’s contribution to the community has grown

Robyn Livermore’s passion over the years has been working with the mentally and physically disabled and disadvantaged. Robyn grew up in Manildra and attended Manildra Central School and Marsden College. She was a Girl Guides leader for five years. After her marriage to Alex, she and her husband moved to Dubbo, then Parkes, where their children, Mark, and Louise, attended school. There she helped with many school activities – canteen, fetes, and remedial reading.

While working in Parkes, Robyn did crisis work for families in need. In 1981, the family moved to Orange and Robyn worked for five years after school hours at Croagh Patrick Orphanage with the Sisters of Mercy in the crisis centre. In 1986, Robyn started work at Anson Street Special School as a teacher’s aide, working with children with special needs, both physical and mental disabilities. She learnt sign language. At Anson Street, Robyn wrote the school song, which is still in use today, she would organise the annual concerts and still attends and assists with these after her retirement. Ten years ago, along with her husband, Robyn became a volunteer at the Riding for the Disabled in Orange and for the last two years she has been president of the association. One of her greatest achievements at the Riding for the Disabled was coordinating the students for the state-wide Musical Ride competition. The children have won the state competition on many occasions, and recently came second in the world competition.

DOES EXERCISE HAVE TO BE HARD?

he current world record for the marathon was set by Eliud Kipchoge in 2018 with a time of 2:01:39. Over 42.195 km, this is approximately a pace of 21 km per hour or running each kilometre on average in two minutes 52 seconds. That is an incredible feat and an exercise intensity that many are unable to attain, much less sustain.

vigorous physical activity for older people who are used to doing so. Moderate intensity exercise can be described as an activity that can only last between 30–60 minutes. A conversation may be maintained, but it is not possible to sing or whistle, and it feels OK to continue. In contrast, light exercise does not cause a noticeable change in breathing rate and can be sustained for 60 minutes or longer. Wearable devices can monitor your heart rate and provide an objective measure of exercise intensity. Of course, this requires understanding of your personal target exercise heart rates. But subjective measures can also provide valuable information when used correctly, especially so when heart rate response to exercise may be inhibited due to age or medication. For example, through selfassessment, the Borg rating of perceived exertion (RPE) can give you a good idea of the intensity level of your activity, and this information can be used to speed up or slow down your movements to reach your desired intensity. It is your own feeling of effort and exertion that is important and not how it compares to other people’s. For that reason, group events can provide great camaraderie but can also push you beyond your limits, leading to injury.

Pertaining to cardiovascular or aerobic exercise, we generally describe how much activity was completed and the intensity of the effort. Common examples of cardiovascular activities include swimming, cycling, and walking. How much, or how long, is usually depicted by distance, such as the 5km parkrun held at Gosling Creek Reserve every Saturday morning. “How much” can also be depicted by duration as per current recommendations for over 65s to accumulate at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most, preferably all, days. The pace set by Eliud Kipchoge is phenomenal, but setting a pace to complete a bout of exercise is not relevant to just elite athlete performance, but also to all of us when we exercise. Pacing facilitates optimal performance while avoiding premature fatigue and (sometimes) irreversible physiological damage. In the context of activity and disabling conditions, understanding and implementing activity pacing strategies can assist the management of cancerrelated fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, etc. Our ability to pace tends to improve with experience, which considers our knowledge of the activity type and distance (or duration) at hand. Interestingly, children below the age of 10 years tend to be unable to pace optimally and usually exhibit an unsustainable faster pace during the

early stages of a given activity. So, for those just starting and are looking for ways to stay active and healthy, light exercise can make a difference to your wellbeing and doing any physical activity is better than doing none. There is also evidence that doing more and working harder (up to a point) will derive more health benefits. The Australia’s Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelines recommends moderate and

The benefits of exercise for health are well-documented. Exercise changes lives – it prevents and manages chronic conditions, maintains brain function and memory, reduces risk of falls, and fosters social connections. Despite these benefits, only 17.2 per cent of those aged over 65 are meeting the physical activity guidelines. Being physically active and staying fit and healthy will help you to get the most out of life, whatever your age. If you want to understand how to Exercise Right, find an allied health professional qualified to prescribe exercise for your needs and start living a more active life!

BUSINESS ENTITY OWNERSHIP AGREEMENTS What types are there and why use them? Commonly on the purchase of a Business the purchaser will use a form of business entity to structure the acquisition. Entity’s may include a Trust (fixed, discretionary or hybrid), a Company (a variety of forms exist), a Partnership or a mixture of these. The different types of entities are applied for different purposes depending on the nature of the purchaser, the nature of the business, taxation, succession, the associated risks of the proposed investment, the amounts involved and the longer term goals, to name a few. Once an entity has been decided on then an important consideration is the relationship and management of the business owners on an ongoing basis. The following agreements are used commonly:

Unit Trust Company Partnership

= = =

Unitholder Agreement Shareholder Agreement Partnership Agreement

The agreements have some similarities even though the types of entity areas are very different in nature. They should all outline what type of ownership each of the equity owners have ie types of units in a trust or the share class for shareholders etc and the quantum thereof. The agreements then also should address succession ie what is the procedure in the event one owner desires to retire or sell or reduce their ownership stake. Often this situation includes an ability for the existing and ongoing owners to have a first right of refusal to acquire the existing owners equity as a proportion to their existing equity ratio. This can have the effect of tightly maintaining control by the existing owners.

Alternatively the equity may require to be sold to a third party or even trigger the whole business itself being sold to liquidate the equity. The death or the permanent impairment of an owner where ownership is contingent on certain inputs/efforts by the owner need also be outlined in the agreement. A company shareholder agreement should outline clearly the rights of the share classes owned including voting, participation in dividends and return on investment on winding up/liquidation. Quite often the agreements will also outline a Restraint of Trade whereby the owners are restrained from having any interest (direct or indirect) in a competing business during their equity ownership and then for a qualifying period after they cease being an owner. The agreements should refer to day to day decision making whether it be by appointing a manager, a CEO, a board of directors or the like. This then raises the issue of what decisions should only be made by the owners and which of those decisions should be by way of unanimous decision only (ie issue of further equity that causes dilution of the existing holding, introduction of an new partner, large debt or capital acquisitions, a change of core business direction, ethical investments etc). The takeaway: In the event you are entering into any type of business entity then you should consider entering into an Owners Agreement which is drafted specifically with your personal goals and your business/ investment goals in mind. *This article does not constitute legal advice and provides general information only.

VOLUNTEERS THAT MAKE OUR Orange Hospital go round

Ross Beattie and Claire Jones from Orange Hospital’s Wayfinders group.

Volunteers, not money, is what actually makes the world — and Orange Health Service — go round! Healthy locals who rarely frequent what used to be called the “Base Hospital” are probably unaware to the extent to which volunteers provide support, services, and comfort for those under its care. With the pandemic restrictions that so affected health services throughout Australia now lifting, those interested in helping others in their spare time, are being encouraged to think about the range of areas available. Whether it’s the Wayfinders providing directions and helping visitors around the complex’s labyrinth layout; the Blue Ladies and Men who support services across the facility; the VIP program that reads and provides company for patients; or the Care West Cancer Service. Other volunteer groups are as diverse as a Grandparents Group providing activities and games in the Children’s Ward; a Premi-Babes Association; a tai chi group; and the goodold Hospital Auxiliary that runs the café — the hospital canteen.

General Manager of Orange Hospital, Catherine Nowlan, said that the volunteers undertake a wide range of activities and services to support patient care with National Volunteers Week the perfect opportunity to thank them for their year-in, year-out, efforts on behalf of others. “The Orange Health Service is enriched by the volunteer services provided. The people of Orange should be justifiably-proud of our community and the generosity of individuals and groups of people who give their time to our hospital,” Ms Nowlan said. Ms Nowlan said that, one inadvertent impact of the lockdown, was to highlight the good work of the volunteers and their central role in achieving positive outcomes for so many patients, family, and visitors to the facility. “With the lockdown and COVID-19 associated restrictions put in place limiting the volunteers from their daily contribution here at the hospital, we truly came to appreciate the value of our volunteers in our health service community,”

she added. “The range of activities and depth of services provided by our volunteer groups enhance the patients, visitors and staff at the hospital and are above and beyond any expectations. Many a day has been improved by the kindness of volunteers.” However, things are not as they once were, many of the volunteer groups have not fullyreturned to their former roles with “new blood” Nooters 1 21/01/13 now sought byClub manyA5offlyer.pdf the groups that have been bedrocks of support for years at the facility.

“We look forward to the day when all of the volunteer services are back, “she added.

The “Vic’s” new function room to well-serve Orange

“I govern by serving” is the family motto of the Victoria Hotel’s long-term owners, the O’Rourke’s. he “Vic” has been serving Orange well as one of our best-loved and friendliest local pubs for nearly 100 years.

With an innovative, newly-redesigned function area, the east Orange icon is now looking at continuing to provide its traditional welcoming greeting to the community for a lot longer. The “O’Rourke Room” has been created to allow privacy, access, and adaptability for groups ranging from private parties, work functions, to regular club meetings. The Hotel is now also offering a lease-free tenancy for its fully-functioning bistro with a fantastic opportunity available to provide top-rate pub-food for the hotel’s famouslyloyal supporters. “It’s a self-contained function room that we’ve recently renovated, also in doing that, we’re offering the chance to lease-out the kitchen,” Licencee Craig Wright explained. “It would be an ideal arrangement for a single, couple or a family to open and a great opportunity to cater for larger functions,” Craig said. The new lay-out allows for functions both large and small with sliding doors and an adaptable layout providing for events ranging from small meetings to large social gatherings.

“The way we’ve redesigned it, you can have meals, drinks, and rest rooms all in the same location without having to go the main bar… we’re also introducing a coffee machine so that everything will be self-contained,” he added. “This is because Orange is such a foodbased city. Though we’re not looking at $50 meals, we’d still like it be be good bistro-style dining and, when we get our barista bar, this area will have everything you need for any event,” Craig said. “This new room is ideal for family gatherings, closed meetings, and businesses can hold conferences here, the room can be changed around to almost any style you want with the sliding doors closed for privacy or open for larger events,” he said. Established as a traditional travellers’ inn in 1922, the hotel was built on the site of the former “The Coach and Horses”. However, licensing issues saw this establishment closed with the old hotel described by a local licensing inspector as: “no ornament to the town with no public inconvenience if closed.” As one door closed, however, another one opened. The then-local paper, the Orange Leader, in 1921 said the new hotel was to comprise a: “one-storey and five bedrooms with a dilapidated and old stables, woodhouse, and buggy shed (from the former

336 Summer St, Orange 10 MAY 20 — 26, 2021

Coach and Horses Hotel) in the rear. In August 1922, the Leader reported: “construction of Victoria Hotel has begun for Sandman Ltd. Design of building by Mr J Bates architect and provides for a palatial structure.” The Leader listed Frederick Goodhugh as the first licensee For more than 62 years — from the mid-1920s to the late 1980s — the hotel was owned and run by the Ryan family until the retirement of publican John Ryan with Terry Bouffler then taking-up the licence. The O’Rourke family took-over in the late 1990s and have remained committed to upgrading this iconic local hotel that is soon approaching its 100th anniversary, Craig said. “The new hotel started in June 1922 and its had continuous ownership since then. This is the crest for the current owners, the O’Rourke family,” he said, pointing to the family crest with the Latin motto: Serviendo Guberno. With the modified stables still standing to this day in the hotel’s back section — the hotel embraces both its history and its future. “We ‘re one of Orange’s longest-established hotels, we’ve had a strong support of clientele for a long period of time,” he said proudly. “The thing about Orange, is that there is a lot of history in the town.” “But you do have to look to the future; the whole game’s changing and you have to stay one-step ahead,” Craig explained.

Transportable Booths to Revolutionise Outdoor Dining — SAMUEL RODWELL —

“We hope people appreciate the concept and make use of the dining booths. I think the community will embrace it”.

Orange City Council’s Future City project has been steadily revealing what they’ve been cooking up behind the scenes in evolving our community’s Central Business District (CBD) for wider appeal. This time, implementing relocatable platform structures designed for outdoor dining and entertainment purposes. Two booths are designated next to the Blind Pig, with a third underneath a tree along Lords Place in front of the coffee shop Crema on Lords. Costing between $20,000 and $30,000, the booths are expected to greatly benefit the local businesses that are within proximity. Cr Tony Mileto says, “As part of the Future City program, the

Gardens Pty Ltd), L-R Iain Porterfield (from Pop-Up to, and Kris Spann Orange City Councillor Tony Mile (from People Parkers Pty Ltd).

Orange City Council is trying to revolutionise the impact of the CBD. Making it more user-friendly for people who want to dine outdoors. Council is trying to think outside of the box through Future City and giving the people a dining experience that’s something different and revolutionary to regional NSW.” Cr Reg Kidd, Mayor of Orange says, “The best thing about these booths – they are portable. We can try them in many different spots if people want to move them around the CBD. The booths could be placed around Orange depending on the season, whether it’s winter or summer.” The idea for the booths originated from seeing similar dining structures around Sydney areas in Bondi and Paddington as

Cr Mileto says, “We thought since we get a lot of tourists from the city, especially from those areas, we can transport that type of atmosphere to here in Orange. That will complement both tourists and community members to enjoy.” “It is just fantastic. I believe we’re becoming quite a cosmopolitan city and if you see along the main street where shops have outdoor seating available already – there are always people sitting and using them. I think they will be very popular here in Lords Place and McNamara Lane. There will be people that will dislike it, to begin with. But usually, it is the people who dislike it, are usually the first people to try it and say it is pretty good,” Cr Kidd says gleefully.

These homes will awaken your imagination.

Rebound kerb to protect underpass pedestrians REVOLUTIONARY ROAD-KERBING TECHNOLOGY AT MILLTHORPE COULD TRANSFORM PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IN THE REGION. Current roadworks on Millthorpe’s tight railway underpass between Elliot Street and Forest Reefs Road looks pretty much like any bog-standard new kerbing — but the finished project will offer unprecedented protection from wayward motor vehicles for local foot-traffic. Called “Elsholz Kerb”, the design incorporates a “rebound curve” technology that is engineered to deflect out-of-control vehicles up to the size of large trucks and buses before they can mount adjacent footpaths, Blayney Shire Councillor, Bruce Reynolds explained. “The kerb, when it’s finished, is designed with a special mould that repels cars from going over the gutter,” Cr Reynolds explained. “It’s amazing when you see online video of it, the vehicles that hit it, just bounce back onto the road; the idea is that the cars can’t come into contact with pedestrians, the kerb curves-up and stops vehicles mounting-it,” he added.

underpass which matches relatively-high traffic use with an exceedingly-narrow road width; the only pedestrian access point for properties on the western edge of Millthorpe; a near 900 curve in the road on the pedestrian side; and a blind corner.

Blayney Shire Councillor, Bruce Reynolds on railway underpass works at Millthorpe: “The number of kids who now live on the other side of the track is growing all the time.”

children and the like can’t wander out onto the road,” he explained.

“This technology is ideal for areas where pedestrians and vehicles are run very-close to each other as at this point of the road,” Cr Reynolds said.

The kerbing doesn’t appear much different from traditional 15 cm right-angled kerbing in urban areas, but it has a larger depth with a slightlyshallower curve. The kerb is 20cm deep and also utilises a specific stronger, more-resilient concrete mix with a different sand-base.

“We’ll also be placing a pedestrian fence between the cars and the footpath so as to ensure that

The work has seen the underpass closed for two weeks with both pedestrians and vehicles using the

adjacent Glenorie Road to access the village centre on the eastern side of the railway line. Cr Reynolds said that the growing number of hobby farms and large-lot properties on the western side of Millthorpe along Forest Reefs Road has made the urgency of the work even more imperative. A local farmer, he said that the project has been high on his agenda for some time. “Since coming onto Council, I’ve been trying to get this work done. The number of kids who now live on the other side of the track is growing all the time,” he said.

New kerbing on Millthorpe’s railway underpass between Elliot Street and Forest Reefs Road will offer unprecedented protection from wayward motor vehicles.

The project is part of $200,000 Drought Stimulus Package assistance from the State Government with the work also including creation of a pedestrian walkway loop on the western side of the main western line that traverses the picturesque village. “The work is also designed to encourage kids to walk to school, and for people to enjoy Millthorpe on foot,” Cr Reynolds said. “It will be great when it’s finished,” he concluded.

The technology, he said, is ideal for the Railway

The First Glimpse of

Future City Public Art project — SAMUEL RODWELL — Commissioned artists were recently working carefully on the new McNamara Street mural opposite the Blind Pig. Designed to be a colourful interpretation of our region's gorgeous vineyards sprawling over the land, the mural will eventually flow-over the footpath and across the road. This will offer the people of Orange, and visitors alike, a true representation of Orange’s presence of viticulture and the arts. Two of the historic former buildings in the Street are pictured above.

I’ve been working in financial services since 2002, so I’ve seen a few financial crises during those two decades and in that time, I’ve learnt a lot. Not only a lot about how investment markets work, but also how human emotions work. With all the craziness going on at the moment, many people are understandably concerned about their retirement savings. Sadly, many people are making the wrong decisions in how to deal with this crisis, acting on emotion and not realising the long-term implications of their decisions. I love helping people get their financial futures on the right track but also helping them make sure they don’t derail from that track when the going gets tough. I can guarantee you this won’t be the last time we see dark economic times… in fact, I guarantee all my clients there will be times when their money will go down.

Cop-shop handover a “gift” to all of Orange Handover of the old police station in Byng Street to the Orange Aboriginal Land Council is a gift to all of the community, a local indigenous leader said. Highlighting the importance of the occasion, Aboriginal dance youth groups performed with a sacred smoking ceremony also held to mark the occasion. An ecstatic Land Council chief Annette Steele described the event as “huge, absolutely”, and said that it was a great day for everyone in Orange. The decade’s-old former police station site is to become the new town-central headquarters for the local Land Council, she said. “it’s about us having that ability to participate in the community. It allows us the space to build the aspirations of our people and everyone else as well,” she said. “Because it’s not just for us, it’s for all of Orange as a whole,” she said. The police station has been vacant since the new facility opposite the old site was constructed a decade ago to fully-integrate what had been a ramshackle series of buildings and demountables for local police. “It’s great to see this facility utilised again, it’s a great asset and its transfer now means that it has come full-circle,” former local Police Prosecutor and State Member for Orange, Phil Donato said. “It’s fantastic, it was just sitting here for 10–11 years, it will make a great home for their headquarters,” Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd added. Ms Steele said the handover had been a decade in the making. “This is a day that we’ve been waiting for 10–11 years,” she said during her official welcome. The Welcome to Country was given by Orange Elder Uncle Neil Ingram with the local dance groups Dyiramaalang and Yalbalinga Nguurumbang performing traditional Wiradjuri welcome songs. One of these included the “Ochre Dance” that celebrated the sacred place that the earth colour ochre plays in Wiradjuri culture whereby we all return to the earth and become part of the land. The handover finalised negotiations following the original land claim made in 2011.

AGED 50 AND OVER?

COVID-19 vaccines continue to roll out to those most at risk.

Ms Steele said that the Orange Aboriginal Local Land Council have big plans for the site and aren’t letting the grass grow under their feet: “The OLALC Board has committed to creating a thriving hub, a community meeting place that will be a gift to the Orange community to enjoy.

People aged 50 and over can receive their COVID-19 vaccine at one of the selected vaccination clinics or at participating general practices.

“Finally, the old police station will be renovated and refurbished to provide a place where everyone is welcome, and a place that Orange can be proud of.”

It’s voluntary, free and the best way to protect you and your community. Our Therapeutic Goods Administration continues to closely monitor the safety of all vaccines in Australia.

Ms Steele added that the Title Deed handover was only the first stage in a long process. “The Byng St site will be refurbished and refitted across 2021 with a grand opening ceremony planned for the end of December 2021 or January 2022.” Land Council Chair, Jamie Newman said that the opportunities provided by the handover are part of a 15-year social development plan for the group. “This really is a magnificent opportunity, and the Board looks forward to changing the narrative as we lead this change,” he concluded.

IceHouse One incredible one-man band.

When I looked at the chart history for The Flowers/ Icehouse, I wasn’t surprised to see that there were no years between 1980 and 1990 when they didn’t have a song register in the Australian top 40. And when I say “they” I should say “he,” because Icehouse was, is, and always will be Iva Davies. He has had some long-term band mates, but none have ever been permanent. Iva Davies first started playing around the Sydney pub rock scene in 1977. Sydney was full of bands at the time that were as good as any in the world, and to stand out was hard. The Flowers hard work and success on the live scene translated into a recording contract by the end of the 70s. There had been three hits for The Flowers from the debut LP, which was called “Icehouse,” with “Can’t Help Myself” being the first, peaking at number 8 while “We Can Get Together” and “Walls” also both charted well. The name change followed soon after. In a strange little turn of event in early 1981, record company Chrysalis decided to release the title track of the LP “Icehouse” in the UK, Europe and the US, despite the song not being released in Australia. It made number 28 on the US Billboard chart. That success meant Icehouse ended-up spending a large part of 1981 touring the UK and the United States. Iva Davis then showed in 1982 that his initial success

was no fluke when the Icehouse album “Primitive Man” was released. It was a project that involved very little input from other musicians and showed off Iva Davies’ skills as a songwriter, musician, and as a growing master of synthesizers drum machines and recording techniques. That album exploded on charts around the world! I still recall Ian “Molly” Meldrum on Countdown holding up a copy of the album cover saying it would be massive. “Molly’s” fortune telling powers were very good! At home it made number 7, number 2 in Switzerland, number 5 in Germany, and top 20 in UK, Sweden and Netherlands. Surprisingly, it failed in the United States though. “Primitive Man” was also the LP that featured what still remains the most iconic of all Icehouse singles, “Great Southern Land.” The song peaked at number 7. Its inclusion in the 1988 Yahoo Serious movie “Young Einstein” saw its popularity rise a second time too. The period taking in the middle 80’s saw Iva Davies take his expertise in the use of electronic instruments and his sophisticated use of recording equipment to a seriously high level and as a result, his influence on other musicians in Australia and globally had become huge by the time 1984's “Sidewalk” album was released. The 1985 LP release was the score, written by Davies, for the Sydney Dance Company’s

production of “Boxes.” The 1986 album “Measure for Measure,” saw Davies secure the services of UK music legend Brian Eno as a short-term Icehouse member. It showed in very practical terms the level of the most elite creatives of his time that Davies had become. Having Brian Eno eager to jump on board a Davies project was a huge compliment. Across those three years, “Icehouse” had maintained its Australian singles chart appearances with hits including “Taking The Town,” “No Promises,” “Baby Your So Strange,” and “Mr Big.” Those years also saw “Icehouse” continue to make inroads in the US market, and included TV recording of full live concert performance at The Ritz in New York in 1986. The most successful year for “Icehouse” was 1987 with the release of the mega selling and multi award winning “Man of Colours.” It contained the singles “Crazy,” that peaked at number 3, along with the number two selling hit

“Electric Blue,” co-written by John Oates of “Hall and Oates” fame. “My Obsession,” “Man of Colours,” and “Nothing too Serious” were also charting singles from the LP. Rounding out the decade and into 1990, “Icehouse” wound-up the run of hit singles with “Touch the Fire” and “Miss Divine.” Along with many hundreds of locals, I saw Icehouse live in concert a couple of times at the Ex-Services Club during the peak of their touring years. My memory is of a very good and very powerful live band. Iva Davies was able to take a mix of cutting edge electronic Synth-pop and hard driving 70’s and 80’s influenced Aussie pub rock to the world. He has absolutely earned the ARIA Hall of Fame entry and all of the music awards and gold and platinum albums weighing down his poolroom shelves and walls. Davies will almost certainly take Icehouse back on the road again at some stage you would think, which would be a must see!

FEDERAL MEMBER FOR CALARE

Your Country Your Voice

BUDGET 2021 - SECURING OUR REGION $2 BILLION FOR GREAT WESTERN HIGHWAY UPGRADE! The Federal Budget has delivered a major funding boost for the Central West with more than $2 billion announced for the Great Western Highway upgrade between Katoomba and Lithgow. This is a huge win for our region! The funding will help us to get cracking on this corridor and it will also deliver an important employment boost, by supporting nearly 4,000 jobs over four years! It will be a great economic stimulus for local communities and small businesses.

Construction on the project is expected to start in late 2022 and be finished by mid 2026. The Australian Government is supporting the Great Western Highway upgrade because it’s such a vital transport link and key regional project. I’d also encourage the NSW Government not to shelve its plans for a Bells Line of Road expressway! People are coming over the mountains in record numbers as they discover the advantages of life over the great divide and we’ll need more than one major road. I therefore remain very supportive of getting that corridor upgraded as well.

ECONOMIC RECOVERY The Australian economy is recovering well from the COVID-19 pandemic and this Budget is fantastic for the Central West! We have announced record commitments on essential services, aged care, disability support, mental health and women’s safety so that more than 125,000 taxpayers and 20,000 small businesses in the Central West will be better off.

TAX RELIEF Around 59,400 taxpayers in Calare will benefit from tax relief of up to $2,745 this year as a result of the low-and middle-income tax offset. The Government’s Tax Plan has already benefited 65,900 to people in Calare. By increasing the excise tax rebate, our local craft brewers and distillers will see tens of thousands of extra dollars that can be invested in local production and jobs. Cheers!

MORE AGED CARE FOR REGIONS A record investment of $17.7 billion in the Aged Care sector will be of great help to our 29,893 seniors living in Calare. It will deliver more home care places, more funding for residential aged care and will increase the amount of time residents are cared for per day. Quality aged care in our country communities is something that I’m passionate about, so this increased investment in the sector is very welcome news.

SUPPORTING CHILDCARE A $1.7 billion extension of the childcare subsidy will potentially put thousands of dollars back into the pockets of local families with over 1,250 families living in Calare directly benefiting. Eligible families could pay as little as $6 a day for childcare when they have more than one child aged under five in care. A family earning $110,000 per year with two children would be $108 per week better off under the changes, for four days of childcare.

HEALTH $13.2 billion in additional funding for the NDIS. $2.3 billion commitment to mental health care and suicide prevention. $114 million to extend Medicare rebates for telehealth. $65 million to boost Medicare bulk-billing rebates in country Australia. $351.6 million for women's health.

WOMEN’S SAFETY An additional $1.1 billion will be spent on women’s safety measures, including $261.4 million to boost frontline family, domestic and sexual violence services. Everyone has the right to be safe in their homes, their communities, workplaces, and online and I believe the Government must do everything in its power to make this possible.

SUPPORT FOR BUSINESSES AND APPRENTICES Tax incentives will allow around 19,200 businesses in Calare to write-off the full value of any eligible asset they purchase. If you buy a new computer, printer or ute you will be able to write-off the cost immediately. Approx. 5,300 businesses in Calare will also be able to use the extended loss carryback measure to support their cash flow. Under the extended Supporting Apprentices and Trainees wage subsidy scheme, eligible employers will be reimbursed 50 per cent of an apprentice’s or trainee’s wage for the first year, up to a cap of $7000 a quarter.

ORANGE SHOW - Extreme Ride Challenge! After conquering the “No Limit” extreme ride at Bathurst Show, I again threw down the extreme ride challenge at the recent Orange Show, through Neil Gill’s show on Triple M Central West, and two local legends answered the call. First up was Zac Schneider from NSW SES Orange City Unit, stepping up for the SES and the men and women in Orange! He and I took to the air upside down, around and around and what felt like inside out!

I’d never been on one before and wasn’t sure what to expect but Scott said it would be good and he delivered! It was very cool. So thank you Scotty (below) for being a good friend and a good sport! See you at next year’s show!

Well done Zac, it was good fun! The other local legend was none other than Scott Vandenberg who threw down the challenge on the virtual reality roller coaster! That’s right, it’s a VR roller coaster complete with zombies, giant snakes and other lethal hazards to navigate!

BETTER COMMUNICATIONS $130.4 million has been announced to improve digital connectivity in regional, rural and remote communities while another $16.4 million will improve mobile phone services in bushfire-prone areas on the outskirts of cities. This is good news for Molong and surrounds. We all know too well how critical communications are in times of emergency and for keeping connected in business and with loved ones.

An Exciting New Future for Orange’s Former Police Station I was delighted to attend the official handover of the old Orange Police Station in Byng Street to the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council (OLALC) this week.

These young men and women did an outstanding job and a huge amount of work and preparation went into the performances.

A Welcome to Country was delivered by Orange Elder, Uncle Neil Ingram. A highlight of the event were the Wiradjuri welcome performances by the young men and women of local Indigenous dance groups - Dyiramaalang Dancers and Yalbalinga Ngurumbang - from Orange High and Canobolas High respectively.

The OLALC Board plans to renovate and refurbish the old police station to create a thriving community hub where everyone is welcome. I look forward to watching these exciting plans come to life.

With thanks to Tess Crossley for the video footage which you can watch now on my Facebook page.

Thank you!

Shoe-boxes of Chrissie joy from Orange, with love… Festive season begins early for the wonderful volunteers of Operation Christmas Child. Bringing yuletide cheer comes from creating hundreds of gift boxes for needy children around the world, and you can help! Recent cold Saturday in Kenna Hall next to St Mary and St Joseph’s Church, was the latest get-together for a cheery bunch of OCC helpers. Receiving and sorting donations; making clothes, pencil cases, and carry-bags from whole cloth; and packing the shoe-box sized present containers kept a dozen volunteers doing good deeds busy. “It’s a Samaritans Purse project in which we provide a shoe-box full of items for children, including clothing and a ‘wow’ item (a doll, soccer ball with pump, or stuffed toy),” organiser Robyn Hicks explained. Other items that can be included are toothbrushes, skipping ropes and yo-yo’s, combs, and even solar-powered calculators. Much-sought after donations also includes stationary items ranging from pencil cases, rubbers, coloured pencils, and colouring-in material. Small games including tic-tac-toe (noughts and crosses) and old-fashioned marbles are also included.

Creation and compilation of the boxes is on a proficient scale with more than 1200 of the locally-created packages provided last year to children as far afield as Madagascar, Malawi, Fiji, and Cambodia. “We provide them for children in disadvantaged areas, war areas, floods, any natural disaster… this year we are going for 1500. We did that number the year before, and we hope to do it again,” Robyn said confidently. The work is part of a coordinated world-wide project involving 12 million gift boxes delivered involving 100 countries. About 20 volunteers from within Orange — mostly from local churches but not exclusively — get-together to methodically work their way through as many of the boxes as they can each meeting. As with all our lives, COVID-19 put a spanner in the works during last year’s effort: “A lot of people did stuff from home, but, once the lockdowns were lifted, we got back here,” Robyn said of the near year-round project. “We kick back in pretty quickly after Christmas, we’re normally back in by February,” she said. As with much volunteer work, the helpers also get great satisfaction and a sense of purpose out of their labours.

Donations gratefully received… Glen Mann with a variety of materials and sowing items for “Operation Christmas Child”, with Samaritans Purse coordinator Robyn Hicks.

“It’s a community, they get to meet new people and know that they are contributing to something that is really good and a blessing for children that have gone through difficulties,” Robyn added. While we chat, a local arrives with boxes of cloth and sowing materials which are all gladly accepted, and not just for making clothes for children: “We make it into shorts, shirts, teddy-bears... We can also use it to make it into toys and stuff.” While Saturday is the get-together, occasional mid-week dates are added as demand and supply requires, Robyn says: “We’ve added another day for Wednesday, May 26.” The finished boxes are collected in late October for worldwide distribution. “We’re always looking for volunteers and donations, anything that you can do to help,” Robyn said.

Want to be a part of this important work to make a vulnerable child’s Christmas? Call Robyn Hicks on 0427 653 431.

PROVIDING SO MUCH MORE — DAVID DIXON —

COURT APPEARANCES ARE ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT AND DAUNTING OF EXPERIENCES. Volunteer group, Orange Court Support has for years though provided comfort, a kind word, and a hot cuppa for hundreds of locals facing the stress and worry of legal hearings in the Colour City.

Thank you!

THAN TEA AND SYMPATHY

“We had 26 volunteers, but some had been with us for 20 years and were 89–90 years old,” she said. “We need some younger volunteers. The work involves dealing with people with compassion, being non-judgemental, and offering them support,” Helen said. “Many of these people come to Court from out-

west and they appreciate a kind word.” Apart from a standard police check, there are no other requirements or training required for volunteers and, although a Christian-based group, this is no pre-requisite. “We simply provide support and comfort to those coming before the Courts,” Helen concluded.

Orange Court Support — supported by Prisons NSW and aligned with the Prison Fellowship — are holding a meeting at Orange Court House on Thursday, June 17 at 2pm for any interested members of the public.

Recently returning to the Local Court after a long lockdown, the group are looking for more volunteers to cover for the loss of members no longer able to help-out. “We are not a very well-known group as we go about our work quietly but effectively. We have been in operation for the last 19 years offering a cup of tea with compassion and care to all those who come before the court system in Orange,” coordinator Helen explained. “We are a non-denominational, ecumenical group who now — since all restrictions have been lifted — are in need of more volunteers,” she added. But this group that embodies the unobtrusive volunteer spirit of so many in our community, offers much more than just tea and sympathy every Monday at the Local Court sessions in Kite St. “We don’t just do that, we organise gifts for children whose parents are in jail at Christmas time; in 2019 we provided pressies for 18 children in the 2800 postcode,” Helen explained. “We also send one or two local children to a special camp for kids whose parents are incarcerated; the kids who go along are all in the same situation.” Apart from occasional donations at the Court House, most of the funds for their work comes from a special luncheon held each year. “We normally hold it between October and November; the last one we held in Kenna Hall raised about $1300,” Helen said proudly. Presents are also donated under an “Angel Tree” set-up each year. However, the two-decades of good works from the group looked like it may have ended, not from COVID-19, but from changes at the main court-house building during renovations over the past year and a half. “We got shut down and told we weren’t wanted to come back; that was for 18-months,” Helen said. “But just this last week, we had a meeting with the Registrar, and we got our old place back.” This good news, however, has highlighted the attrition amongst their volunteers.

THE COUNCIL GAME This week we simply asked the Mock Mayor and Councillors –

WHAT’S ON YOUR MIND? MOCK MAYOR Amanda Spalding What’s on my mind is standing-up for my community. The Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association launched its election team on Star Wars Day – May the 4th be with you! I am the candidate for the position of Mayor and number one on the ticket. As soon as the Central Western Daily posted the article about the launch on their Facebook page a few naysayers came out of the woodwork and I want to take the opportunity to address some of the things raised. As is often the case in this day and age of social media, it is easy for people to jump to conclusions based on headlines, without taking in the details. Google my name and you’ll quickly come across the following headline: HAY COUNCIL BOSS SACKED The General Manager of Hay Shire Council, Amanda Spalding, has been sacked. Sounds like I must be incompetent! If you want a sense of who I am and what I stand for, I encourage you to follow this link (https://www.facebook.com/abcriverina/ posts/2147803231909572/) to the story and read the comments below it from the people of Hay. I was required by law to report my concerns about corruption and yet whistle-blowers are still often punished for speaking-up. If you want someone who is willing to stand up for what is right, then that is what you will always get from me. I joined our local community radio station when I returned to Orange from Hay in 2019 and volunteered to be the treasurer as well as a presenter. It soon became obvious that the actions of those managing the station were going to send it broke. Those who were voted-out of their positions by the members as a result, have since waged a war on those of us who did the right thing. A number of respected businesspeople in town have volunteered to bring the radio station back from the brink and I thank them for their help and support. I was also previously the Deputy General Manager of Manly Council and was caught-up in a complaint brought by the head of a bicycle committee which was disbanded as part of my actions in recommending to Council that the number of committees should be reduced from 52 to 16. It was approved by the Council as the right move. The complaint led to an investigation by the NSW Ombudsman in which I was exonerated. The Ombudsman wrote to me saying: ‘the report makes no adverse finding or adverse comment about your conduct as the Deputy General Manager of Manly Council’. The Sydney Morning Herald issued an apology to me after receiving the letter because of how the investigation had initially been reported. I have always stood-up for right against wrong, and been a champion of change, and that is not something I will ever change. I will never expect that everyone will always agree with me, but I don’t think any one can accuse me of ever having done anything other than put my community first. Myself, and those on my team, all believe in this concept. And we would love to have your support to have seats at the table to do what is right for Orange… and part of that responsibility will be to sometimes make hard and potentially unpopular decisions for the greater long-term good. We will stand-up against toxic cultures, show deep integrity in leadership, and aim to make a better place built on principles of care, kindness and community. Myself and the great people in our team, would welcome the opportunity to discuss any issues that you see as important for Orange. Please get in touch on 0417 288 246 or email: orra2800@ gmail.com

22 MAY 20 — 26, 2021

MOCK COUNCILLOR Daniel McGregor Let’s hold up a mirror… This week, the CWD published an article headed: Candidate Frances Kinghorne calls for less ‘old white men’ on council Boy (excuse the pun), did that ruffle the feathers of a few old white men! Dare I suggest they may not have actually read the article and simply flew off the handle at what they perceived as an attack from the headline. Our lone female councillor, Joanne McCrae, was interviewed on Prime News recently, announcing she will not run for Council again. Can you imagine why? When she lost the deputy mayoral vote back in 2018, the CWD was flooded with feedback such as: ‘Male, pale and stale’, ‘Old Boys’ Club’, ‘staid, old council’; ‘Apparently she is a threat to the establishment’; ‘How sad that is, and discouraging for other aspiring female Councillors’; ‘So much for the meeting held last Thursday on the ‘future of Orange’. Obviously this future doesn’t include female participation and advancement. It’s a sad day for Orange’; ‘ ‘If we needed any more proof that council is out of touch with the town, here it is’; ‘This decision shows just how out of touch many of our councillors are;’ ‘Orange needs the progressiveness of younger people in our council’, and ‘The diversity must have been too much to bear.’ While some took offence at the headline (which would be incredibly hard to do if the whole article had been read), it would appear that many in our community do feel they are not represented or are underrepresented in the Council chamber. NSW has the lowest percentage of female councillors at 31%, Orange is 8%. You be the judge. I believe I’m right in saying that at the last election, despite over 80 people standing, only one woman headed a ticket, Joanne McRae. I’m standing on an election ticket with four highlycapable, intelligent and empathetic women, two of them at the top of the ticket. There’s also myself, a feeling almost old white man, and another old white man (I doubt Colin will be offended at being described that way.) If, like many, you believe Orange would benefit from a more diverse council, you’ll have the opportunity to vote in support of that come September.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Frances Kinghorne Orange was visited by the NSW Minister for Mental Health, Bronnie Taylor recently. She came for a conference with local stakeholders about suicide and other local mental health issues. The night before the conference, she spoke at a Central West Women’s Forum dinner, which I attended. She appeared genuine in her desire to learn about the local mental health environment and to listen to issues and ideas from frontline workers. During her speech, the Minister commented that she was a little surprised that a place as progressive as Orange, only had one female councillor. During his reply, our mayor pointed-out that at the last election, there were 88 candidates of whom 39 were women. He assumed therefore, that in Orange, women do not vote for women. I thought this was an odd thing to say and think he simply meant

that having a female candidate does not guarantee that her fellow female citizens will vote for her. Surely nobody would vote for someone solely based on their gender. They would consider many other qualities. Perusing the candidate list from the last election, I noted that there were 13 groups (tickets). Only one of these had a woman as the number one candidate - Joanne McRae, who was elected. I have noticed that during council meetings, Councillor McRae is always well prepared and speaks rationally, eloquently and concisely, something that cannot be said of every councillor. Unfortunately, she has announced that she will not be standing for the next election. I hope more women have the opportunity to stand in winnable positions on tickets and that we do achieve a council with more women - not from a tokenistic perspective, but because a council that is more representative of the diversity of its constituents will surely be more dynamic, enthusiastic and functional. During the launch of our team’s election campaign I had a conversation with a Central Western Daily (CWD) reporter. He asked me why I had decided to stand for election, I told him that I didn’t think that our council was diverse enough. He asked what I meant by that and I said that they were mainly older white men, and while there is nothing wrong with older white men, it would be nice to have more women and younger people etc. as well, because that would be a better representation of the Orange community. Diversity is beneficial because people from different backgrounds, with different experiences have different insights and skills - a useful thing when it comes to understanding complex issues and solving problems. I was horrified to see this conversation presented as a headline demonising old white men. I would never do that. I work with older people every day in a job that I love, and I have nothing but respect for them. Here was an opportunity for a reporter to investigate why a broader range of people don’t stand for election to our council. Instead, they have chosen to present a divisive, offensive headline, which did not accurately represent the conversation that we had. I am not a politician and if I was, perhaps I would have realised that these games are undertaken during the lead-up to an election. It’s also possibly a reason why more people don’t put themselves forward. As I stated in my comment on the Facebook version of the CWD article, I would have had the same diversity concerns if 10 of the 11 councillors were 20-year-old women. I am also happily married to an older white man and have many wonderful friends in this category. All sections of our community are valuable and this is precisely the point I was attempting to make.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Gerald Power After speaking with people at a grocery store and the topic waswhat will be the makeup of 2021 Orange September election the day/s after?? Many, agreed that we need a more reflective group of councillors for Orange elected and not the same people that have been on for many years. Question - how can this happen? My answer is very simple - the voters of Orange will have the power for change. If you are happy with the way things have gone in the last four years on council then vote for those who have and are still working hard for Orange. But if not, then the power is in your hand (pencil) ballot paper to create change by considering each one of the candidates not on council now.

THE COUNCIL GAME I would encourage every voter to do research on every candidate, including myself. Starting Questions: Why, do I want to be on council? What is my qualification? What level of understanding do we have in policies? What are the gaps of services that we feel Orange community may require? Just some starting questions for you to consider…. Closing statement: (Quote) Albert Einstein- One can’t continue to do the same thing over and over again and still expect a different outcome? ‘His Wordsthat is the sign of insanity! Your Vote has the power for change! This is what’s on my mind.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Mel McDonell Another week, another printed media edition and yet more head-shaking moments from our councillors. At the Council meeting of May 4, Crs Duffy and Kidd had their knickers in a knot about a minor set of traffic lights, whilst Cr Hamling is criticising CBD businesses for not being open long hours on Sundays to sell coffee. Really. Where are the efforts to address the real, serious issues? Housing affordability? 2019 figures show that 5% of property owners and 12% of renters in Orange were experiencing housing stress, and, since COVID, you can surely bet that figure hasn’t improved. When combined, that’s over 4600 residents of Orange directly affected by this crisis. Water security? And, no, not more dams. An actual, realistic, achievable and sustainable solution of recycled water and recycled wastewater! Accessibility? Council staff are doing great work increasing the network of footpaths throughout areas of the city, but with decades of catchup to do, accessibility and connectivity both remain a serious issue. Where was the push by Councillors to increase the budget to assist with this? Parking? Why aren’t our Councillors pushing for another multi-storey car park to service the Cultural Precinct? There’ll, hopefully, be a fantastic new Conservatorium there in the next year or two... where is everyone going to park? To be perfectly frank, the continued short-sightedness of the majority of Councillors is a disgrace, and is further proof that they have had their time. 2021 and beyond is time for a fresh, energetic, respectful, communicative and collaborative Council. Pre Polling opens 23rd August with Election Day on Saturday 4th September.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Nic Drage This week there was the final formal meeting for one of the Council Community Committees and it made me think about how the current Council decided to not bother looking at a review of the effectiveness of the committees even after the election was postponed. For those who are unaware, there are a number of Community Committees where members of the public can join and help shape what happens in the community. Each of these Committees has a chair who is one of the elected councillors and other councillors are encouraged to join ones that they choose. In theory, this is a great way for the community to engage with decision makers directly however there are some problems with the system. At present, there is no minimum number of meetings of the Community Committees that councillors need to attend over their term. What this creates is that members of the community come up with ideas to put to council without engagement from the councillors who were passionate enough to be on the committee which in turn creates a doubt to how much the councillors who are not attending really want to engage with the community on issues and ideas.

After the new council is formed, there will be a callout for new members of these committees, and I encourage members of the public who want to have a voice to get involved. I hope that when they are reviewed, councillors will be kept accountable for their engagement with these committees as they are an important vehicle for transparency in decision making in our city.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Pot Stirrer Regular readers of my comments will no doubt realise that I have a real problem with our current group of Councillors. So, what is the problem I have? Good question, and I’ve been trying to pin that down in a way that would make reasonable sense. Basically, I think I expect to see more commercial savvy from more of our Councillors. To me, after watching most Council meetings over recent months and keeping an eye on what they get up to in the local Central Western Daily (CWD), I just don’t think there’s enough wise heads on Council. I’ve often said that the comments and discussion at Council meetings leaves a lot to be desired, and if you’ve been watching what type of issues Councillors want to associate themselves with in the CWD, it’s hardly earth shattering. Over recent weeks, here’s the type of issues some of our Councillors seem taken up with. Councillor Hamling wants us to take more water from the Macquarie River through the pipeline and he’s concerned that you can’t buy a cup of coffee on a Sunday afternoon in Orange. It’s a funny time to go down the pipeline track and how many times have we heard about the coffee on Sunday issue. It certainly looks to me that Councillor Hamling is cranking-up his election campaign. Our Mayor who claims not to be standing again loves to see his picture in the paper and his latest is about an under-used pedestrian crossing near Kinross and another about Councillors not being able to attend Council meetings. Riveting stuff for sure, almost as crucial as his gardening advice. Councillor Nugent features with cat de-sexing and the CWD’s man for all trivial issues, Councillor Taylor, is happy that there’s some seating back in Summer Street and has added his concerns to the moving of the Lords Place Taxi rank issue. Councillor ‘better late than never’ Duffy got a run with the Bloomfield trees but as usual, all talk, not much real action. These all might be issues for some people but for me, I’d prefer to see our Councillors coming out in support of, or commenting on the more important issues, ones that they believe in, rather than just trivia like potholes, long grass, street seating and the like. Maybe I’m expecting too much from our present group of Councillors, but it sure would be good to hear something come out of their mouths that actually got me excited occasionally. Having Council staff attach their names to the various Council media releases and seemingly put the words in their mouths for them is just poor form. If I were on Council, I know I’d have more meaningful things to say, and when appropriate I’d defend Council’s wise decisions and great achievements to the hilt! Credit where credits due but I’d have no part of putting my name to anything that was nothing more that “spin”. I’d be hesitant to pose for CWD photos too, use my name and quote me, but nobody really needs to see my mug in the picture, it’s not that great anyway. Hopefully, come September, voters will put a broom though them.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Josh Girle-Bennett Earlier this month, Orange held its 149th annual show. While the show was a success, I believe that Council as well as affiliated committees should have a greater role to play when it comes to promoting and improving events across the city. If there is an upside to COVID, large swathes of people are traveling intrastate meaning that cities such as Orange are seeing a dramatic increase in tourism numbers. Over the October long weekend last year, almost 2800 people visited Orange. During the same period in 2019, approximately 1300 visited our city. This represents an increase of 105%! Given that Orange is only three or so hours from capital cities such as Sydney and Canberra, many more people are inclined to visit our

region on staycations as opposed to vacations. With experts predicting that international borders will not fully open until 2024, at best, our city has a unique opportunity to host bigger, better and bolder events. While the Orange show in 2021 was good, it can be much better in 2022. Cities such as Bathurst and Penrith hold twilight markets that have approximately 40–60 stalls, why can’t Orange do the same and why can’t Orange have twilight markets, or a variety of other festivities, at the showgrounds to coincide with the show? Council also needs to consider mobile cell sites to cope with the additional volume of mobile traffic. During major events across the city, you can notice lags across all networks. Summer street looks amazing at night with the fairy lights lit up, why not cordon off the street and host a festival, periodic food and wine stalls or another event?

MOCK COUNCILLOR Greater Good I’ve always known that Orange is a great place to live and there’s a lot to like about it. There’s also a lot of things we could have done better or still can. To achieve this, our Council needs to start getting input from passionate locals who have the necessary knowledge and expertise to contribute to the various discussions. This is not a new concept, but it certainly is one that is missing in Orange. Community input is a fact of life but it’s not much help if the people inputting don’t know too much about what they’re talking about. Wise heads are one thing, well meaning know nothings are something else. Council staff too can sometimes do with a good dose of humility by getting down off their high horses and acknowledging that they aren’t God, and sometimes it’s worth listening and taking people who know more than them more seriously. We need the right and wise heads contributing to local issues, not the noisiest.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Steve Peterson I write this on Tuesday. Tuesday I am normally the doctor at Wyla drug and alcohol detox and rehab. Not today though as I had my 14th operation post-quadrupedia yesterday. If I can’t be at rehab today, I can at least write about addictions. I’ve worked at the drug and alcohol detox since 2014. Indeed, it was the first work I returned to after becoming quadraplegic, before I had completely left hospital myself. Doing the maths, I reckon I have seen 1000 patients in that facility. Drug and alcohol use is rife. A third of Australians have ever had marijuana, 10% regularly. Most adults have had alcohol in the past year, about 5% each day. There is use and then there is abuse. I think most families would have somebody affected if they dug deep enough. For mine it was an auntie who died of alcohol problems age 42. The criteria for addiction disorder comes down to 5 domains. A loss of control of how often and how much people use the drug, Drug impacts taking over their life and preventing them from doing what they would normally do. Using the drug despite the harm this is causing. Strong desire to use the drug. Physical effects such as needing more of the drug to get the same high and getting sick if they don’t have it. Addiction is a medical condition like blood pressure or high cholesterol. Both medical and non-medical help is available. People do recover from an addiction often especially with the right help. If this is you or somebody that you know there is a 24-hour anonymous phone line - the alcohol and drugs information service – 1800 250 015.. They are drug and alcohol counsellors who provide information about services and treatments available. There’s also a website: www.yourroom.health.nsw.gov.au. Well worth a look just to find out more.

TIMEWARP Wheelbarrows race along Summer Street

Crowds blocked Summer Street in September 1957 to allow a wheelbarrow race to take place, which stopped all other traffic. The race was organised to raise funds for the Cherry Blossom Queen candidates. The four ‘jockeys’ were local radio personalities Colin Barrett of 2GZ, Ian McDonald of 2BS, Doug Woodward of 2GZ and John Morley of 2CR. The referee, sporting a monocle and riding a bicycle, was 2GZ’s John Tingay, who disqualified all the teams for various ‘offences’.

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

“Music is the art which is most nigh to tears and memory” Oscar Wilde In July 1871, news of the end of the Franco-Prussian War reached the tent settlements on the gold fields of NSW and the gold miners who hailed from the countries involved in the conflict, rejoiced in the best way they knew. They took out their musical instruments and played and sang and danced together in a great display of emotion and unity. Music has always been a most satisfying way of releasing emotions, whether happy or sad and throughout the years popular music styles have reflected society and have evolved with the changes that are taking place in the world.

Music news using music and song,” said Glenna

Dorsey and others were also popular.

We thought back to our own parents’ time when the music they liked very often offended our ears, just as our preferences amazed them.

Then there were the crooners like Bing Crosby, Perry Como, and Dean Martin, followed by Frank Sinatra who had “the bobbysoxers” swooning over him.

Not only is our taste in music influenced by changes in society, but also with technological advances and the new styles and new ways of listening to it.

I remember the musical evenings my parents used to have after dinner when friends would bring their music and either play an instrument or sing a solo.

Dinah Shore, Rosemary Cooney and Doris Day sang the romantic songs we loved.

The Oral History group thought about their own musical tastes and experiences and the sounds that had given them the most delight.

This seemed to me to be all very serious but they apparently enjoyed it, much to my surprise!

And “ delight” is the word which really describes our experiences with music as became obvious when we began to search our memories. Of course, it was always the music of our youth which we found most appealing. We pondered over this and decided that it was then that our emotions were probably at their peak and that every generation cherishes the music of that particular time when they were young and most romantic. Tim and Glenna both pointed out that balladeers had always told stories . “In medieval times the bard spread the

As expected most people in the group preferred the music of the, 40s and 50s. Stuart, who described modern music as “frenzied”, studied classical music on the piano until he was 16 and his taste remains with the classics. Wartime songs by the English singer, Vera Lynn, were hot favourites, even with Gillian who was only seven when the war ended. Those patriotic songs were certainly stirring and, as most people agreed, the advantage was “you could hear the words”! Blues and jazz and the big bands of Glenn Miller, Woody Herman, Tommy

“I think the biggest change in music over the years is the fact that it used to be a group thing.” said John Coxhill. “People of all ages stood around the piano and sang together for entertainment. Community singing in the old music halls was also very common.” Many of our group could remember seeing the organist at Sydney cinemas rising from beneath the stage playing before the film began. And, although none of us are quite old enough to have actually seen it, there was always a pianist skilfully accompanying the silent film with music to suit the action on screen. Dot wondered if people whistle as much as they used to - or sing as they work around the house.

Joan and Tim mentioned that music has been used as therapy for disturbed people with great success while Glenna observed that lullabies have been sung to babies almost since the world began. One of the most popular ways of appreciating music for Russell, Mick and Tim was going to dances where, as Russell pointed out enthusiastically “it was a great place to meet girls.” Mick was given a radio with a gramophone attached for his 21st birthday and he enlivened many a party with his 78 records. Pat could remember an old windup gramophone on which her family would play their favourite music. “You had to keep winding it up because if you didn’t the record would go slower and slower and end with a groaning sound,” she told us. As technology has become more sophisticated, not only has the sound become clearer but also louder as John pointed out. “There appear to be problems developing with hearing among those who have been exposed to high levels of sound for extended periods”, he said. While in our youth we listened to music on the radio and gramophones, today many people listen through headphones to the extent that they seem to be lost in a private world of sound which often makes them unaware of their surroundings. The Oral History group wondered if this might prevent people enjoying the real world. It will certainly be interesting to see the changes in the way we play , listen to and create music in the future but I’m afraid that we will probably all stubbornly stick to the music of the days when we were young and romantic.

Toby ONCE again turns hand to love, loss, and “Hoovers” Not your usual sweeping historical musical; Once, the Musical —coming to Orange in September — explores the issues of broken lives, second chances, and vacuum cleaner repairs. The show follows a series of interconnected events around an Irish busker whose life is changed when he repairs a “Hoover” for an enigmatic east European woman with whom he develops a strong musical bond. Based on the 2007 Irish Oscar-winning movie Once, lead actor Toby Francis can’t wait to get back on the trail: “I’m champing at the bit,” he said. Toby is reprising the role that he starred in during the 2019 run of the musical, before the lockdowns effectively put everyone’s life on hold. Live performers, actors, singers, musicians, and dancers were some of the hardest-hit by the pandemic with live shows banned for most of 2020. Toby like many found the lockdown an unsettling experience whose novelty soon wore-off as he turned his down-time to good use. “It depended on the day, sometimes it was hard, other times not so much, it was tricky to navigate… I ended-up going back to uni (Bachelor of Education and Arts) and moving house,” he said. Performing though is his first love and the return of live theatre in 2021 has been a homecoming for Toby. “I feel like I stepped right back in — it was a bit of a holiday, some down-time, but to be back on stage is great,” he said.

With a long list of musical performing credits ranging from Truth, Beauty, and a Picture of You; Carrie: The Musical; Jesus Christ Superstar, and Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Toby doesn’t like to define himself as principally an actor, musician, or singer.

different,” he explained.

“When I was growing-up, I wanted to be a singer and an actor. I generally say now that I’m a performer, I write my own songs, punk, that sort of thing, a lot of my songs are about women, relationships,” he explained.

something more of it than it is,” Toby explained.

“That’s one of the things about the show, the actors play all their own instruments in the performance,” he added. The plot of Once revolves around a brokenhearted Irish busker Guy who meets an accomplished but mysterious female musician with a secret life through his side-line as a vacuum cleaner repairman. The show features a number of touching ballads with all music and lyrics by Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová including the Academy Award-winning number “Falling Slowly”. Toby says the exploration of personal issues of vulnerability and misunderstanding are what makes Once so unique as a stage show. “Le Mis, Hamilton, these shows are big spectaculars,” he said. “Once is so much more intimate, these are people with so much more issues in their life, it’s almost like watching something you shouldn’t, everyone in the show has some kind of scar, that’s what makes it so

“Guy is someone very broken, he’s experienced some loss. Things happen to him before he meets the girl that make him misconstrue his relationship, to make Reuniting with his co-star from 2019, Stefanie Caccamo as the enigmatic figure of "Girl", Toby believes that what used to be called “chemistry” adds to their professional on-stage relationship. “For something like Once, it is imperative that we have a really strong connection, like an intuitive thing… we’re good friends, and that helps as well,” he said. The pivotal role of Guy’s father — previously performed by Cameron Daddo — has now been taken over by Play School veteran Jay Laga’aia, with whose son Iosefa, Toby is friends with: “With both Cameron and Jay, I feel perhaps that this is a role that feel they need someone who is well-known. “But Jay’s also an accomplished musician himself, he plays like a demon,” Toby said. Asked to describe the eclectic work in a few words, Toby explains: “I’d say it’s a musical about an Irish busker who fixes a European musician’s vacuum cleaner and what happens to their life in the wake of it,” he concluded.

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 for the coming 10 weeks. Our sincere thanks to Author Kim Kelly for giving us this special privilege.

FOREVER AND EVER, AMEN They were married on the sixteenth of March, 1924, the day before Saint Patrick’s Day, and all the jolly green bunting through the streets might as well have been for them, they were so happy. Nell was eighteen and Stevie almost twenty-one. He wore a smart suit of silvery grey he’d had made at Blumberg’s, the Jewish tailor in Foveaux Street, and she wore a gown and veil of ivory tambour lace she made herself from fabric she’d saved for and had put away for almost two years, love and devotion in every stitch. They were the most beautiful couple that ever lived, as all young newlyweds are. Even still, Nell’s mother had not relented in her attitude towards her one and only son-in-law. Despite their wait of six years, despite Stevie not going on to play any football as a result of an unfortunate injury to his left knee during a match against Saint Joseph’s in his final year of school, despite his getting a position as a junior clerk with the Department of Lands at seventeen and studying bookkeeping at night, despite his insistence that Nell herself go on to business

42 MAY 20 — 26, 2021

college from high school to get her stenography and typing qualifications, despite his strong body and perfect teeth, despite his unfailingly kind heart, Brigid Kennedy considered Stevie to be merely a pig-farmer’s son from Armagh, and therefore not good enough for her daughter. No matter how much all her own sons teased her for her bigotry, she would not relent. No matter how much Nell tried to show how happy and bright her future was, she could not push open this door to shed even the tiniest crack of light upon her mother’s dark opinion. Nell knew that her mother still suffered the heartbreak of losing Peter the way they had. She knew that, for her mother, it was as if the sun would never quite rise again, that joy would never be hers to have or hold. Nevertheless, Brigid’s refusal to accept Steven as Nell’s husband, to treat him with any regard or warmth, forced a rift to grow between mother and daughter. There were no passionate words spoken, no tantrums or tears, but a cool and sorrowful drifting apart.

and Pat’s wife, Marie, when they married last May, even though Marie was from Coolcaslagh, just east of Killarney, and Pat had dragged her out here from London, where she’d been a nurse in the war, and his nurse, too – just as it was true that the ice thawed with Mother Kennedy a little with each new grandchild born. There were four so far now: two boys from Dan, a girl from Mick and another boy from Pat. The only time Brigid Kennedy approached something like contentment was when she had a baby on her hip, but it was as if she wished those babies had been born from air rather than from her children loving others. Nell hadn’t been aware of the extent of all this until now, but Dan and Maureen had been waiting for approval since 1915 – since before he went off to war.

‘Don’t worry, Sis,’ Dan told her. ‘Ma will give it up when the babies come.’

Babies didn’t come easily for Nell, though. She spent the next three years in their little rented weatherboard house in Lilyfield making babies’ clothes for all her new nieces and nephews. As all her brothers, one by one, took wives, she made so many jumpsuits and bloomers and smocks she could have opened her own shop.

It was true that Brigid had treated Dan’s wife, Maureen, with similar disdain when they were married four years earlier – and Mick’s wife, Gwenda, when they married a year after that,

‘It’ll happen when it does,’ Stevie would hold her hand in the night and kiss her with ever more tenderness, but he was worried, too – for her. She needed something else to do, apart from

Wild Chicory — by Kim Kelly making baby clothes in between counting out all the mysteries of life along her rosary beads and smoking cigarettes. He needed to do something to help her, other than kissing her as he left for the day and again when he returned, and taking her to the Catholic socials at Rozelle for a dance of a Saturday night. So he cooked up a bit of a plan, and one Monday evening when he came in from his office in town, he told her: ‘I got you a job at the Department of Public Works – stenographer to the City Architect.’ Nell couldn’t believe her ears – unless you knew someone high up, it was very difficult at that time for a woman to be employed at such a publicservice job, with all the men returned from the war given preference, even in taking shorthand and typing up letters, and it was unheard of for a married woman to get so much as a look-in. When she managed to make her mouth work, she said to her husband: ‘But how?’ ‘Luck of the Irish.’ He winked. ‘All in the knowing of who to have a beer with at lunchtime.’ And then he told her: ‘But you have to pretend you’re my sister.’ Her jaw dropped open again at the lie, and then she smiled, returning her husband’s wink. Oh, how she adored him. He was only a lowly, middling clerk in the accounts section of the Department of Lands, but he was a king to her. Naturally, luck of the Irish being what it is, this all meant Nell became pregnant with their first child within a month of starting with the City Architect – just as she’d made two new suits for herself, too. But, luck working its strange way again, any embarrassment at their fibbing was spared the young couple as, the month after that, they were compelled to leave Sydney altogether. Stevie’s father had taken ill, out on his farm at Guyong: some sort of heart trouble. In all the time they’d been together, Nell had never been to the farm, and she’d only met her father-in-law once – at the wedding – and even then, it was brief – mercifully. For all that she knew him so little, though, she knew well enough that he put her own mother in the shade for vinegar on the soul – or ‘shit on the liver’ as Stevie would say in moments of starkest honesty. Jim O’Halligan was not a pleasant man. Nell wondered if he actually had a heart to trouble him. He had never spared the rod or become acquainted with ideas such as friendliness or forgiveness or generosity of spirit, but he was Stevie’s father and Stevie was his only son. And Stevie’s only sister, Paula, had had enough of him. She arrived on their doorstep in Lilyfield one night and in floods of hot despair said, ‘I can’t do it anymore, Stevie. I will kill him if I spend one more day with him.’ Which was fair enough, too. Paula went to Aunt Hannah over in Cooper Street to begin her life anew, at last and at twenty-seven, while Stevie and Nell made their way to Guyong

to begin – well, something different. As much as Nell was not looking forward to living under the same roof as her father-in-law, she embraced the adventure ahead – both the coming baby and the move, whatever it might bring, and for however long it might be. She hadn’t known anything of the countryside since she was a small girl, back in Ballymacyarn, and after one hundred and fifty miles on the train, going up through the Blue Mountains and into the Central West hills, the scenery, at least, didn’t disappoint. It was as gold and green as a Fenian flag. Nell O’Halligan put aside that look of horror that had come over her mother’s face when she’d told her they were off to the bush, and the frigid silence that had followed. She had her pebble in her shoe, Nell did, portable shame and guilt enough for a lifetime – she could go anywhere she liked! She also put aside the fact that all those years ago, when Stevie had first appeared for a term at the age of ten at school, it had been because his mother was dying from pernicious anaemia in Sydney Hospital, and he’d come alone to stay with his Aunt Hannah then, because his father wouldn’t leave the farm to come, and wouldn’t let his sister, Paula, come either, to say goodbye – poor Paula, just thirteen, cooking and cleaning for that miserable crank as her mother faded away. Most of all, Nell put aside the fact that Stevie, ordinarily so full of chat and cheer, sat silent on the train the whole journey, his own thoughts churning: it was only that one of the Christian Brothers had taken an interest in his potential rugby worth that Stevie had got away again at all – and now he was going back. How could he not? ‘We’ll make things work out well,’ she told him, squeezing his hand. ‘I’ll see to it.’ She did her very best, but the next three years would go down as their very worst, and her loneliest. Her baby didn’t come: there was a sharp pain and a rush of blood; the doctor, in Bathurst, said it simply didn’t take, dismissing her from his rooms. She wondered if it was the churning that was always going on inside her that had churned the baby out. Stevie tried to offer his shoulder to her, but she wouldn’t take it – he had too much on his hands dealing with his father. Jim O’Halligan would neither let go of his hold on life, than he would give over any control of the farm; he used his son as labour, tending the pigs, getting them to market, and running round for him at every harsh word. Oh but how Nell dreaded the sound of the squealing when the pigs would get carted away – they knew what was coming. Their cries reminded her of her old pet pig, back in Ireland, although she could not now remember his name. ‘Dad, we’ve got to sell up,’ Stevie would beg his father, again and again. Since Stevie had been making his way in Sydney, the farm had been badly run down as his father’s health failed. The

fields that for the past two decades had been planted with beet and chicory and mangold root for the pigs’ winter feed was a mess – there would be no adequate crop this year. And there was no point buying in feed for the animals, only to put the farm into further debt. Even the potatoes were poor this year, the young sprouts dying back inexplicably, when ordinarily they could grow themselves in this rich earth. They had to go – they had to sell up – for all their sakes. But Jim O’Halligan would not let go. It was so bad Stevie even took up smoking himself. Nell would take her little pebble out into the fields searching for solutions to problems she couldn’t begin to understand. This was not her land, pretty as it might be, and she was so far from any memory of her little hands in soil, she was no practical use apart from cooking and cleaning, and milking the cow. The cow didn’t even have a name – so Nell gave her one, more to spite Jim O’Halligan than anything else. She called the cow Bluebell, after the chicory flowers that were sprinkled through the paddocks. They were such lovely things, these blue flowers, blooming so sweetly out of their shabby, spindly stalks, that would rise up by midsummer shoulder-high. They became her new, giant forget-me-nots, in this new, so foreign place, and when she walked among them she would remember her own lovely father, that kind and lively colour to his eyes. She’d never known that chicory root had a blue flower. It’s always funny the simple things you don’t know, isn’t it? When she was small, there had always been a packet of chicory powder on her mother’s kitchen shelf – it’s what her parents drank all through the winter, to warm them on the inside. Healthful, economical, fragrant, the label said around a circle, and it had a blue flower right in the middle of it. A chicory flower, of course. Before this realisation, chicory had sat in the back of Nell’s mind as a sack of rotten, twisted witches’ fingers, and now it was something else again. Reborn. Replanted. So life goes; so wisdom grows. She made daisy chains from all this chicory run to weed and she’d wind it through her hair, sprinkling sky through fire, and she’d make a crown for Bluebell, too, to make her husband laugh through all his frustrations. When she needed fabric for a new frock, she would buy the brightest floral she could find, which would elicit a grunt of disapproval from her father-in-law for such ostentatious waste, which would make her twirl as ostentatiously as she could as she went about her housework, to make her husband smile. Though it was the worst, most drifting of times, they made love like there was no tomorrow out on that farm. Away from the old, draughty, make-do homestead, she made a place for them, a warm

MAY 20 — 26, 2021 43

Wild Chicory — by Kim Kelly and secret place in a corner of the hayshed, where only the chicory could hear them; and on a few precious occasions, deep in the winter, only the softly falling snow. It was the first frosty morning of autumn 1930, when Jim O’Halligan finally let go, and let them go, too. Nell had gone out to the tankstand, as she did every morning, to fill the bucket to put water on the range for breakfast. As she waited for the bucket to fill, she was watching the ducks by the dam that sat in the front paddock – wild ducks who would come in some rhythm of seasons she still hadn’t grasped. In the frost, the ducks pecked at the earth and shook their beaks as if they were having some fun time about it. She wondered if they were just enjoying the ice on their little tongues, just the same way we all do, when something made her look over her shoulder back at the homestead. She saw Stevie there, on the verandah step, and she would never know how but in just seeing him there, she knew: it was over. Their trial had finished – or this one, at least. Jim O’Halligan had died in his sleep. She breathed out, and then she ran to her husband, leaving the tap on the tank to flow. It didn’t matter, though. It was not their farm for very long to worry about after that. Stevie put it on the market, more to be rid of it than for any sensible reason, and as the Great Depression had got busy sucking the worth out of just about everything, the O’Halligan farm sold for twofifths of a song. So Nell and Stevie had just about nothing and no jobs to go to when they returned to Sydney that year. Only they did have one small and precious thing: Nell was pregnant again – and this time, of course, with nothing to feed it but love, their baby would come. Four of them did: Jeannie came in 1931, Carole in 1933, Beverley fast following in ’34, and then Diane in ’37. They all lived in a tiny flat in Petersham, between the train line and Stanmore Road, and they called it the O’Halligan Sardine Can. Stevie got work through an acquaintance he’d made at the stockand-station agent when they were selling up in Guyong – there was a job going as a clerk in the accounts office of the Dairy Co-op in Fairfield. It was a hike on the train there and back every day, and the Sardine Can was a squeeze that got tighter every year, but these were the best years of their life together. Nell kissed her husband every morning as he left for the day, and she kissed him again on his return. They never had any money – Nell’s palms were too flat to hold any coin, she would say with a shrug – but they had got what they had wanted most. Sometimes, Nell would get up in the night just to look at her four daughters sleeping. They made her so inexpressibly joyful, no matter what they did. For all these baby years, Nell’s belly never churned – it hummed, so that she wondered if people in the street could hear it.

44 MAY 20 — 26, 2021

No matter how little money they had – and with the pay cuts all the men were forced to take throughout those rough years of depression, often that money was too little to get through the month – every Saturday morning, never fail, Nell would scrimp together whatever they had to buy their roast for Sunday after mass and three pipe loaves of sweet white bread – luxury! She made two cakes a week, as well – one on Saturday, and one on Wednesday – and iced them as thickly as her budget would allow. If love could be measured out in quantities of butter and sugar, Nell would have made her family diabetic with it. She never ate more than a sliver herself, because it wasn’t hers to have: it was all for them. All for the gratitude she took just in looking at them – at the icing smeared across her daughters’ little hands and faces, and the crumbs in her husband’s bushy blond moustache. She wasn’t making a cake or sewing bloomers, however, but out on the balcony hammering together a shelf for the girls’ room, the day her mother finally visited her home. There were toys on the floor of the sitting room, and the breakfast bowls still sat drying themselves by the kitchen sink; an ashtray sat unemptied on the windowsill. Baby Diane, in her cot by the kitchen door, had just sicked up all down her bib, and Jeannie was ‘helping’ by taking the dirty dust cloth to her sister’s face, so that Diane looked as though she had a little grey beard. It was February 1938, and it was stifling-heatwave hot; a couple of big, fat blowflies buzzed lazily through the flat, too, just to add a bit of class. Holy Mary, Nell thought, when she opened the door and saw her mother’s face. Of course she’d seen her mother often enough over the years, at every family gathering, for every wedding or christening, for the Kennedy ‘colony’ as her brothers now called it, but her mother had never come here – to her home. To this pigsty. Oh well, Nell shrugged, as she let her mother in. She might as well see her own daughter’s love laid out as it most usually is. ‘Mum,’ Nell said, wondering what she might want, what criticism she might like to make first, ‘this is a surprise.’ Her mother walked into the sitting room, and she walked slowly these days. She was still strong and well-made, but she was getting on. Her hair, once richly auburn, was beginning to fade to white, making her widow’s black seem all the blacker. Brigid Kennedy was sixty-four years old, and for one fearful moment, Nell wondered if her mother had somehow come to say goodbye. ‘What’s brought you here?’ Nell said, and her voice was strange, half-choked and shrill as an engine whistle. But her mother turned with a mildly curling smile and said, ‘Can’t your mother visit you?’ ‘Of course you can,’ said Nell and she said no more.

‘I only want to see my grandbabies,’ her mother said, picking up the little one with the grey beard, Diane, and slinging her onto her hip. ‘Don’t mind me – go back about your business.’ So she did, and her mother visited every second Tuesday afternoon after that – she’d take the four stops up on the train from Redfern, which wasn’t too much of a trek as she’d since moved from the big house on Crown Street into a smaller one on Goodlet, nearer the station. No reason given for the change of heart; no amends directly made. Whatever enigmatic way this thaw might have occurred, Nell wouldn’t tempt it with a question. Not that Brigid Kennedy would ever forgive Stevie O’Halligan for marrying her daughter, and taking her into the bush for those three long years, but she thawed a little for him, too – enough to be quietly proud he kept his good job throughout the Depression, and was always able to pay the rent. There must have been something decent in the lad for him to have been able to see it all through. Nell was as quietly pleased that the chain-link binding mother and daughter together, however it had come apart, was now a closed circle once more. She wanted her mother with her for the next baby, she wanted nothing more than for her mother to share that greatest adventure of life with her the whole way along. Nell wanted as many babies as God would allow, however they came. But no more would come. Only another war did, and it would break and remake their little world, all over again.

— 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.

THUMBS DOWN to the same people who hoon down Molong Road, Woodward Street and Bathurst Road. You people think you guys are street racers, but you’re not! What you are doing is, wrecking your car and one day, are going to cause a serious accident. THUMBS DOWN to real estate agents who offer ‘free’ appraisals but when they meet and realise they are not going to get a new client out of you, never come back to you with the promised appraisal. THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council. The Orange Show has come again and still no ring, large grandstand, or horse stables. That was all pulled down. The pavilion needs repair and the creek needs piping in. Take a look at the Bathurst and Dubbo shows, and then look at Orange. THUMBS DOWN to the man in the black shirt sitting on the steel bench at a local shopping centre at 4pm on May 8 who decided it was a good idea to throw food at me. I sent security your way for littering and being a menace to society. A VERY BIG THUMBS UP to AMBUCARE at Orange Hospital, all the Staff are most helpful, kind and caring nurses, receptionists we have ever encountered. My husband is 91 with a catheter to be changed monthly. He loves going there because of the tender care and love shown to him. God bless them All. THUMBS UP and thank-you to Sue from Pathology situated in the Orange Family Medical Centre Peisley Street. A lovely, warm and friendly lady who puts one at ease, Sue, you are a credit to your profession.

THUMBS UP Thank you dear Thumbs Up for giving people the opportunity to express gratitude to the most deserving people. God bless!

🙏

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for temporarily moving the bottom taxi rank to McNamara Street where there is no lighting and people can’t find it. Common sense should have been to put it in Summer Street opposite Canobolas Hotel where it is well lit and easy to find. No consideration for the poor taxi drivers and there was no security on Friday and Saturday night. Good to see an election coming up. Hope to see some changes for the better. THUMBS UP to the wonderful people at Kink for their positivity and welcoming smiles, and the perfection of their work!! Highly recommended. A MASSIVE THUMBS UP TO off duty police officer, Amy, who found my car key at the Gosling Creek Dog Park. She went above and beyond to find out my address, drive there and back to the park as nobody was home. She found me and my pup waiting for the towtruck, handin-in my key. Amy saved me untold troubles as I had my handbag in car. Sometimes there are police where and when you need them!! If I can return the favour somehow let me know. Thanks again, Amy. A BIG THUMBS UP to the lady with the Border Collie dog in Lamrock Avenue for the beautiful garden she has put together. It’s lovely to admire while walking through Moulder Park. She’s also added several trees which will grow to help the environment. It’s also delightful being greeted by her dog, so thumbs up to him too! THUMBS UP to Dr. Hook and all staff at the hospital and God for giving another go at life. THUMBS UP to Bri for looking for a unit for me while I’m in hospital and Lyn who looked after the unit on short notice. Noice! THUMBS UP to the crew or person who cleared/mowed the bush land at the top of Anson Street near SJBP. Looks great. THUMBS UP to the workers who came to the aid of my friend and myself when I drove my little car over a cement bar on the side of the road and got well and truly stuck. The men got my car off the cement bar with much difficulty and perseverance. I am most grateful for their generous help, they were wonderful. I will pay their kindness forward at the first chance I get. THUMBS UP to TJ at Need a Nerd for service, patience and persistence in fixing our computer. A BIG THUMBS DOWN to OCL and to the person that keeps writing in and complaining about the mobile speed camera saying that they set up at 5am catching drivers such as miners and Hospital workers. OCL keeps letting this person complain and I wrote in before to make a statement but it was not printed.

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 50 MAY 20 — 26, 2021
