contents News that a crew of removalists recently-travelled through the district while COVIDpositive has only seemed to add to our pandemic gloom this grey, wintry July. Far from the “six weeks to flatten the curve” we were all promised in March 2020, the coronavirus seems to dominate our lives now more than ever. So relentlessly-depressive is the daily news-cycle, that even the most inveterate newswatchers, are increasingly “tuning-out, turning-off, and dropping-away” interest in the latest updates. One wonders whether it’s going to be like this every winter as each new strain develops. Are we going to have to live with these perpetual disruptions to our lives, until some form of “herd immunity” is reached? Last year, there was a sense of common purpose, community-sacrifice to protect us all, the mood though now is, when does this ever end? Lucky for Orange, our extensive education services; government departments; gold mine; growing health sector; and famous food and wine, heritage and history; have definitely softened the blow. In many ways, we are, indeed, the lucky country. While we’re doing relatively-well under the strain, the refusal of the Government to reinstitute measures like JobKeeper, that previously cushioned the economic impact of the lockdowns, means, however, that we may only be able to defy gravity so long.

In this week’s Orange City Life, though, is a wonderful story showing that there is more good than bad in the world. It is about a young boy who has raised thousands of dollars for cancer sufferers by collecting plastic bottles for the “Return and Earn” scheme. Following theft of some of his plastic containers, a number of locals came forward to make-up the difference in his lost recyclables. Showing that, Orange is not only the Colour City, it’s also the kind city.

TRAVELLING FILM FESTIVAL

to bring acclaimed worldly cinema to Orange — SAMUEL RODWELL —

“A chance to view different cultures and navigate various experiences that ultimately facilitate invaluable dialogue among audiences and the wider film community” For the movie buffs, film fanatics, or perhaps any cinema-going lover wanting to see something a little different outside of what Hollywood has to offer – the Travelling Film Festival (TFF) has your unique cinematic preferences covered. Founded by renowned film critic David Stratton in 1974, TFF is Australia’s longest-running travelling film festival and has showcased both Australian and international features, documentaries, and short films across regional Australia nationwide. Touring from Northern Territory to Queensland and New South Wales, the event provides regional audiences with access to films they would otherwise not have the opportunity to see on the big screen. Now, coming straight to Orange’s doorstep at Odeon 5 Cinemas for the first time, featuring an exciting line-up of acclaimed Australian and international films that can be enjoyed across three exhilarating days and nights. TFF Manager Sanam Rodrigues says, “Thanks to 4 JULY 22—28, 2021

together and realise they will both never be the same.

The Travelling Film Festival presents an opportunity to share “different cultures and to navigate various experiences” through worldly filmmaking to encourage “invaluable dialogue among audiences” in a way that Hollywood cinema doesn’t quite achieve on a regular basis.

For some time, Adrian and Rebecca had been developing many short film ideas. The collaborators searched for stories that were moving to them, thematically-deep, and could show their abilities as cinematic storytellers.

For TFF, it’s not just about bringing sophisticated theatrical entertainment for audiences to enjoy, it’s perhaps more about providing nourishing cinema-going experiences that leave you with a soul-satisfying new perspective or outlook on life. What makes TFF’s visit to Orange even more special, is the local premiere of our own, Orange-based producer Rebecca Janek’s short film Dwarf Planet, written and directed by her collaborator Adrian Chiarella.

“Adrian brought Andy Boredam’s short story to my attention – we knew we had found something special. We are both are so thrilled to share Dwarf Planet with the community and peers in Orange. It will be my first film to premiere here, so it’s really exciting. I hope audiences enjoy the film and leave with a sense of connecting with the characters. And it would be lovely to inspire other future filmmakers from the area,” Rebecca said.

“Dwarf Planet is based on the short story Concealer by Andy Boreham. Adrian is a beautiful writer, he adapted the material into a coming-of-age story about a teenager growing into his identity as a young gay man,” Rebecca says.

Dwarf Planet will be screening this Sunday evening (July 25), with The Lord of the Rings Trilogy star Viggo Mortenson’s directorial debut Falling, a thrilling drama about a weary son who attempts to reconcile with his formidable father (played by a fiery Lance Henriksen of Aliens fame).

centre into a tense psychological drama inspired by real-life events where soulmates Danny (a renowned journalist), and Emily (an awardwinning filmmaker) have to deal with the fallout of their four-year-old daughter’s disclosure of a confronting event involving a young boy, who happens to be the nine-year-old son of their best friends, the Chalmers (aspiring political activists). “The narrative asks the simple question: what would you do if your child came to you and began telling you a story about something that happened to them, that is one of your worst nightmares as a parent? And what would be the consequences of your actions? This is what Disclosure explores,” Michael states. Championing a diverse range of cinema, Michael says further, “The Travelling Film Festival has been so important in enabling us to move beyond our theatrical release in the big cities and screen our film across regional New South Wales. As we wouldn’t be able to compete with the advertising power of the big studios.”

Making the switch to OPM+ is easy... Step 1:

STYLE SHEE

All professions have their secrets; the little tricks of the trade that only those in the freemasonry of their chosen field, are generally-aware. Journalists, for instance, have a series of staple stories to fill the yawning gaps each issue when there may not be that much genuine news around. One of these staples is “government waste”; the idea that profligate cardigan-wearing public servants are squandering the public’s hard-earned on luxurious overseas trips and leather lounges for their offices. Working as a book-editor for a Government department for a decade, as well as a stint with a local council, I have found that this view is largely-wrong. Reporters at large media organisations, who are only too happy to lambast government “fat cats” for every perceived item of waste, are only too-ready themselves to exploit every benefit, freebie, and quid pro quo, they can get their hands on. Therefore, one of the saddest events in these miserable past few months was the decision of Orange Council to can plans for a black-tie gala ball to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Orange becoming a city. The ball, to cost approximately $67,500, received some negative online publicity and the sort of “what a waste” reporting in local media that is almost an industry reflex. “Wow, imagine wasting $70 odd thousands on a ball,” was the general view expressed. But that amount only equates to less than $2 for every man, woman and child in Orange, and for a council with a budget of about $130 million each year. Does that sound like such an appalling extravagance that is likely to leave our children’s children indebted for generations to come? When one sees an old historical photo — such as the one of which graces the front of the old Strand picture theatre, now an opportunity shop — of a glamorous community ball from the 1930s, one’s reaction is almost always a fascination with the clothes and appearance of the people. One never thinks, I wonder how much that ball cost? One of the truths of the media, is that they set the agenda on what we are thinking about, they do not decide what people think about it. That is why issues that so obsess our media elites — global warming, our supposedly-heartless refugee policy, the inequalities of race, sexism, and prejudice that allegedly-inform our every move, are never as popular issues as they appear. If they were, then the Greens would dominate nearly every democratic chamber in our fair Commonwealth. The Republic referendum of a few decades ago, that received overwhelming, extravagant and almost nauseatingly-uncritical media support, went down like a burning wreck when the people had their vote, wining not one state in Australia. Therefore, politicians who slavishly-follow the media pack for advice or insights, are almost always led astray. People look to their elected leaders for consistency, fairness, and a modicum of political courage when the occasion arises. They do not elect them to swing like a weathervane in a cyclone every time a journalist takes a pot-shot at them over an issue. Because, while our politicians are generally held in fairly low-esteem by the jaded voters and citizenry of this blighted time, there is one “profession” that they hold in even lower esteem than even used car salesmen and slumlords. That profession is, of course, journalism!

Millthorpe to honour local ANZAC servicemen and women — SAMUEL RODWELL —

To honour the local wartime history and service personnel of Millthorpe, two community groups, Millthorpe Village Committee, and the Millthorpe & District Historical Society, are undertaking commemorative projects thanks to federal government funding. The Australian Government’s "Saluting Their Service" Commemorative Grants Program funds projects which highlight the service and sacrifice of Australia’s servicemen and women. The Millthorpe & District Historical Society will receive $5099 to grow their collection of war memorabilia on display at the Golden Memories Millthorpe Museum. The funds have assisted in purchasing a mannequin, Light Horse Trooper uniform, and a replica firearm that will help preserve the history and continue telling the stories of our veterans for future generations. The Millthorpe Village Committee will receive $1535 to develop the Millthorpe Memorial Wall with a new plaque on the Millthorpe and District

Roll of Honour. That has listed the names of local service personnel presently omitted from the roll. Additionally, another flagpole will be added to the memorial site. Member for Calare and Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel, Andrew Gee thanked the two community organisations for their dedication to preserve the memory of those from the village area who have served. “Across the nation, barely a community has been left unmarked by the loss and tragedy of war and conflict. Memorials in nearly every town and city bear testament to this,” Mr Gee said. “Our memorials help people grieve, help people remember, and provide the community a better understanding of the courage and sacrifice of those who have served Australia. "It is up to us not only to maintain these memorials but to foster an appreciation and understanding of the experience of service and what these men and women went through for our nation,” Mr Gee concluded.

Born to ride, Darcey puts Cudal on equestrian map

Cudal is not normally considered one of the major equestrian centres of world competition, but young local Darcey Eyb is changing all that. he bright 15-year-old James Sheahan student recently won her class for dressage and best rider overall in a major world competition — doing it all from the local Showground!

But her win was no fluke, Darcey has literally been in the saddle since she can remember. “I’ve been riding my whole life, since I was a baby… I just love the challenge of it,” she said. “I just like to keep pushing myself up the levels.” Her enjoyment of working in tandem with a horse in competition is that each animal, like every person, has their own personality. “I think it’s partly that all of them are different, and you have to work with them in their own way,” she explained. Darcey estimates she puts in a fair chunk of each day on her current ride, “Sir Versace” (family pet name, “Ricky”), but it’s not all riding and practice. “I do about two hours per day, that includes training plus grooming, feeding, cleaning-out the stables… everything,” she explained.

So, when the Australian Pony Club recently announced an international competition that would be held via online video, she jumped at the chance. “I had to put in all my performances and scores in competition, I did Class Two and Class Five… we then had to submit a video online, we did it all at Cudal Showground,” she said. “It wasn’t the best I’ve ridden, but it was nice,” Darcey said of her performance. Mum Sarah, a local school-teacher, said that the requirement for full-audio on the tape — to ensure that no coaching instructions were used — led to some humorous results. “Cudal Showground is next to the greyhound training and their children also fired-up their two-stroke motorbikes, so there was a fair bit of noise,” she laughed. “We had old-car tyres around the ring as markers, you would not believe the indoor facilities for riders at some of the other countries… the Americans, Canadians, Hong Kong… the Germans and Dutch.” Sarah was grateful, though, for Darcey’s chance to compete in an event that, normally, her family would not get close to being

able to afford. “I’m a school-teacher, my husband works out at the mine, we’re not a wealthy family at all,” she said. Darcey’s win though, has only fired-up her ambition for international riding competition. “I want to do it forever, and eventually, go to the Olympics,” she said. Known to her family and friends as “Dixie”, Darcey also has an eye on that most competitive of mixed sports, pentathlon — fencing, swimming, show-jumping, and pistol shooting and cross country running (combined). “I’m already doing tetrathlon (a modified, junior form of pentathlon), so that’s my my next aim,” Darcey said. Unlike many in horse-related competition, Darcey doesn’t come from a family with long historical links to the sport. “Not really, I’m the first person in my family who has had horses,” Sarah explained. But, she said, Darcey, if not born in the saddle, soon made her preferences known, even as a baby. “She was on a horse when I was riding, we used to put her on a little Shetland, ‘Fast Eddy’, it was the only way to keep her occupied,” Sarah laughed.

Caring Nicholas

RECYCLES LIFE’S BAD WITH THE GOOD — DAVID DIXON —

Young Nicholas Culverson recently learnt one of life’s most important lessons; that there is more good in the world than bad.

ollecting recycling bottles for charity over nearly half his eight years, he recently witnessed the worst, and the best, in humanity.

Thieves stole hundreds of recyclable containers for his Return and Earn project to help others, but Colour City locals have come to the rescue! “He started collecting more than three years ago; the year before he went to school,” mum Cindy explained how his cause started.

The project had come-out of the family’s support for the Cancer Council’s Relay for Life. Showing that caring runs in the family, Cindy said that, their long-term commitment to the event, came-about due to a close friend being touched by the disease. “One of my friends had cancer, and we were chatting over my house, and we said, ‘we’d do it’. The annual event’s unique mix of the social and the solemn though touched the family’s sense of community. “It was just sort of a one-off thing, but we’ve been doing it ever since.”

loving, kind child,” Cindy said. “So, I was not surprised that he came-up with that one.”

“Someone must have walked past, seen them, and grabbed them… there would have been $15–20 worth I suppose.”

The Relay was recipient of the family’s generosity until, recently, a cause closer to home caught Nick’s caring eye.

In one of the newer, clean-as-a-pin suburbs to Orange’s north, she emphasised that the theft was a one-off. “Six years we’ve been doing it, and we’ve never had an issue,” she said.

“Up until now, the money from the cans and bottles went to Relay for Life, but a little boy who Nick went to school with, his mother has got bowel cancer,” Cindy said, adding that Nick’s collection usually raises about $10 per week for the family. With the Return and Earn paying 10 cents a bottle or container, this, however, doesn’t mean that the Culversons are getting through 100 bottles and cans of soft drink a week, Cindy hastens to add. “There’s a couple of other people who donate, one that I pick-up from, and one that drops-off the containers here.” She recalls that, a story in the Orange media when Nicholas first established his project, saw the family receiving dozens of pick-up requests from locals trying to help.

“I told him (Nick) that someone had taken the cans and he just said, ‘Oh, yeah’,” she said. Less sanguine about the incident, Cindy took to social media to vent her frustration: “I had a whinge on Facebook saying sarcastically; ‘thanks a lot to the thieves who stole…’ and then someone dropped around $20, and other people came-around with some bags of cans and cash,” she said, adding that about $80 was to the good for Nick’s project in a few days. “It was really lovely,” Cindy said. Starting the project when he was a pre-schooler, Nick, she adds, is now tall enough to reach the entry slots at the Return and Earn depots, one of which is behind the north Woolworths car-park, the other in south Orange.

It was out of this long-term support for the (pre-COVID) annual fund-raiser, that Nicholas’ own project began.

“We had a story in the paper on it, but we couldn’t keep-up. One day I went to the Return and Earn a total of 10-times,” Cindy said. With a smaller car and a busier life. She says she can no longer keep this regime up, “but if people want to do the Return and Earn, we will gladly accept their donations,” she added.

“How it started, we’d been doing Relay for 10 years; we were collecting the bottles for ourselves, and then Nick said, ‘Let’s Collect for Relay for Life’.”

The family has raised nearly $2000 for cancer causes over the past four years, but their inspiring story took a dark turn a few weeks ago when hundreds of bottles and cans were stolen.

Cindy added that the ‘incident of the disappearing recycling bags’ shows an important life-lesson for not just young Nick, but for all of us.

Cindy said that such a selfless suggestion from a pre-schooler, was, however, right in character. “He has always been a very caring,

“We had them all stored where my garbage bins are at the front ready to go, but, when we looked, they were all gone,” Cindy said.

“It just shows you, there’s a lot more nice people in the world than bad,” Cindy concluded.

— SAMUEL RODWELL — As 186mm of water flows over the wall of Orange’s Suma Park Dam, much enthusiasm and high spirits were had earlier this week collectively from Orange City Council’s CEO David Waddell, Water Manager Wayne Beatty, and Mayor Reg Kidd – as the signs of recovery have begun after the devastating drought. “We reached the 80 per cent mark on 25 June, and then got to 90 per cent only two weeks later (11 July),” Cr Kidd said. “There were predictions that it could take much longer to top the wall, but the ground is so wet anywhere around Orange, that we’re reaping the

benefit of any run-off.” “The day that Orange was declared a city 75 years ago was 18 July, and the water started going over the spillway. It’s a great birthday present for Orange,” Cr Kidd said joyfully. “This year reminds me of 2016 when Suma Park was overflowing last. It’s just fantastic, this is making everyone feel better. "The community of Orange has done a fantastic job to bring-us to this point. Orange residents lead the country when it comes to low water-usage. We wouldn’t be at this point today; without the community’s efforts.”

EMERGE OFF, BUT STEPHANIE’S AIM IS TO KEEP MUSIC PLAYING LIVE PERFORMANCE MUSIC IS ONE OF OUR GREAT UNADULTERATED PLEASURES.

“This term, they came back to their lessons in a very different mood. They’re usually so excited and bouncy but, this time, they were a little subdued,” Stephanie said.

Yet this has been affected more than most other areas of our lives by the COVID-19 restrictions.

She believes, however, that it’s important for everyone to keep their hopes up in this most unsettled of times. “People are definitely being affected by this, but it’s important to keep a

Latest victim of the pandemic lockdowns is a wonderful “EMERGE — Development & Renewal Concert Tour” that was to grace our fair lands in early August.

positive view… it’s ultimately for the safety of the community.” Originally from the Sunshine State, she believes, though, that almost every cloud has some silver lining. “I’m a city girl, I grew-up on the Gold Coast, but I’m so glad I moved to Orange, I love it here!” Stephanie enthused.

The tour was to be “a celebration of development and renewal, featuring some of Australia’s brightest young talents,” but alas, the best made plans of mice and men… Production manager for the now-delayed tour, Stephanie Li from our very-own Orange Conservatorium of Music, though, said that it’s important to keep our musical chins up. A cello teacher at the Con since March, Stephanie said that the orchestra’s tour has been on-the-cards for years. “The orchestra had intended in going to a number of regional cities and were meant to come to Orange for two-years, but it has been delayed again because of COVID,” she explained. “Of course, it’s disappointing, all the work you can get is precious, and it is really devastating when you find that it can’t go ahead,” she said.

The tour was to feature the works of Haydn and Mozart with world-class musicians of the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra joined by young and emerging musicians from the orchestra’s Young Mannheim Symphonists (YMS) education program. She said, to try and keep the event on the rails, a range of tortuous scenarios were played-out to bypass the variety of lockdown and quarantine rules for many of the interstate-based performers. “We thought, maybe we can avoid Sydney all together and go straight from Melbourne, but there are so many borders to juggle. “Then we thought, ‘could we bring a smaller group from Melbourne and only perform at some venues and not others?’ But, in the end, it was not going to be possible,” she said. The current flux of the musical industry, she explained, almost saw a group of Sydney performers earlier in the year fly straight into Melbourne’s lockdown. “They were already at the airport, and we had to call them all and say, ‘please don’t come, you’ll go straight into quarantine’… it can all change so suddenly with the snap border closures,” she added. She said that efforts to put many classical performances on-line during last-year’s lockdowns, only showed the unique pleasure of a live show. “It’s so different online to live; it’s just a completely different experience, there’s simply nothing like a live performance.” She has seen first-hand the toll that the continued restrictions in how we live our lives during the 18-month pandemic, has affected her young charges. “My students couldn’t go anywhere or do anything during the break, they’re normally travelling and performing.

Tripping and injuring yourself, is one of the most common and debilitating of accidents suffered by older Australians.

changes are modifiable and the risk of falling as we age can be minimised. In those aged 65 years and over, most falls occur at home or in a residential facility, perhaps due to walking on a slippery surface, tripping over a rug or electrical cord, or transferring from a chair to the bed.

Therefore, the theme of this month’s article could be either: “I’m falling for you, but I’d rather not…” or: “All the king’s horses and all the king’s men…” Every day in Australia, 273 people aged 65 years and over, fall and are hospitalised (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2019).

CATCH ME, I’M FALLING!

This statistic does not include falls that occur but are not discussed with a doctor or family member. Falls can result in serious injury or even death, but the psychological impact of a non-injurious fall can lead to equally-debilitating spiral of inactivity. That is, a loss of confidence and fear of falling, leading to activity restriction and resulting in an increased risk of falling. Age-related changes can lead to a fall, but many of these

Other circumstances where better balance may be required include walking on an uneven surface, having to stand when the “ground” is moving such as on a bus or train, or perhaps just standing with our feet close together which narrows our base of support. Having proper footwear and using support such as handrails, a cane, or a walker, are practical ways of reducing the risk of falling. Firstly though, we need to understand how we balance. Under normal circumstances, our ability to balance is largely autonomous with our brains combining messages from visual and vestibular systems, and proprioception. Seeing clearly, for instance, can help us stay upright by providing depth perception and spatial awareness.

Easy changes to improve vision and keep us safe include using proper eyewear and having good lighting in our homes.

Common activities recommended for maintaining balance and strength include dancing, home exercises, lawn bowls, tai chi, and yoga.

Our vestibular system enables us to maintain equilibrium by incorporating sensory information from the inner ear which includes rotation, acceleration, and gravity.

Aside from improving balance, flow-on benefits include decreased fear of falling, decreased incidence of falls, and an increased ability to participate in other activities which may have been avoided by gait and balance difficulties.

Therefore, disorders of the inner ear, some which are more common with age, can lead to vertigo. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing vertigo or dizziness. As we turn or bend-over, receptors in our skin, muscles, and joints provide information to our brain which activates appropriate muscles to help us stay upright.

Balance training works by training the brain to incorporate the information provided by the physiological systems mentioned above and, if a loss of balance is detected, making the appropriate physical response with sufficient speed to counter the loss of balance.

Loss of muscle mass and strength with age though may mean that our body may be unable to respond sufficiently to a loss of balance.

Therefore, balance training can begin by challenging one physiological system at a time followed by combining two or more as we improve.

Generally, doing the movements slowly and deliberately stresses the body more. The principle of balance training to induce adaptation is to challenge yourself with tasks that are slightly-beyond your reach. That is, choose an activity – such as standing on one foot – that you wish to maintain for 15 seconds but can complete only 10 seconds. In terms of progression, the emphasis should be on progression to higher degrees of difficulty rather than higher volumes of training. For those who are unsure of where to start, find out how to Exercise Right.

For many in the sport loving world, the conclusion of the Tour de France means a return to non-nocturnal life (until the Olympics kick-off this weekend at least). The Tour has a mysterious power. It is a mesmerising journey through spectacular scenery. Crossing the finish line in Paris takes monumental effort, discipline, determination and no doubt a little bit of craziness. This year’s victor however was truly special. Tadej Pogačar’s second straight victory was remarkable. Not only did he take home the coveted Yellow Jersey, but he also won the King of the Mountains and Best Young Rider’s jersey too. It was a superhuman effort. His dominance is one the echoes and trumps that of disgraced Lance Armstrong (before we all learnt that he was a drug cheat!). There really is something remarkable in Pogačar’s victory. Maybe it is his age. He is only 22. When I was 22, all I could manage was the odd 4km ride to work. Maybe it is the dominance he

of life is very much like the Tour. We begin with so much hope and expectations. Often with little knowledge of how hard it is going to be when we reach the steep mountains of life. It can be painful, gruelling, draining. We can feel like giving up at times. We need a team around us to support us and keep us going. We long for rest. When the end finally approaches, we can wonder if the celebration will be sweet. There is however, an answer found to this question. Jesus was one who went through life, facing all its disappointments, loss, pain and suffering in order to make it possible for you to finish. In Hebrews 4:15-16 we read these words: For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. What we see here is that Jesus has gone ahead of you. He has finished so that you can too. In fact Jesus’ victory that he won at the cross where he died and rose again makes Pogačar’s victory look like nothing. And the best part about it is, he won it for you.

SECOND ROUND OF EMERGENCY WATER INFRASTRUCTURE REBATE SCHEME - NOW OPEN! The second round of the Emergency Water Infrastructure Scheme has now opened. The region’s farmers are encouraged to apply for the funding to improve their drought infrastructure. The first round of the scheme was hugely popular and provided drought-affected primary producers and horticulture farmers the opportunity to get a rebate to buy and install on-farm water infrastructure to water livestock and permanent plantings. Our primary producers have done it tough, battling the big dry for more than three years, as well as the local bushfires, floods and mice

$60,000 FUNDING BOOST FOR ORANGE’S ODEON 5 CINEMA There’s nothing quite like grabbing a box of popcorn and seeing a movie on the big screen! Unfortunately, with movie theatres forced to close their doors during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the continuing rise of streaming services, many cinemas are struggling to keep the projectors rolling. If regional movie theatres start to disappear, it’ll be a huge loss for country communities. Our local cinemas don’t just provide entertainment, they are valuable businesses which provide jobs for many local people - especially young people. For all these reasons we acted quickly to introduce

a $20 million SCREEN Fund, with Orange’s very own ODEON 5 cinema qualifiying for a very welcome $60,000 boost.

We know that dry times will come again, so I encourage all our farmers to start preparing now and to consider applying. Farmers can access a 25% rebate - up to $25,000 - on new purchases, installation and freight costs associated with water infrastructure projects. Application information is available on the Rural Assistance Authority website: www.raa.nsw.gov.au/grants/ewir

OVER $80,000 FOR ARTS OUTWEST! COVID-19 has put the Australian music industry through the wringer. Musicians, venues and crews were crushed by the restrictions, and are still battling the effects of show cancellations. That’s why the Australian Government is helping more musicians get back on stage, with the Live Music Australia Program. The program will assist live music venues across the country to reopen and rebuild once restrictions on

LOOKING TOWARDS A GREENER FUTURE Our nation faces major challenges and the decisions we make now will have a huge impact on the Australia we hand down to our children and grandchildren. That’s why I believe we need to be taking an engaged approach to climate policy and I believe our communities want us to be positive and constructive in dealing with this issue and not just reactive. We owe it to future generations. Yes, we certainly need to make sure that country people aren’t dudded by city people and we won’t let that happen. The key though is to have the conversation and constructively work through these issues to find solutions that work for our communities and the environment. Carbon farming is an opportunity for our men and women on the land

that we need to be open to. I live a long way from the ocean but I love surfing. I want to make sure future generations can enjoy the ocean too. There is some very important work going on with blue carbon ecosystems that looks very promising. Additionally, this month also marks the start of Australia’s ban on the export mixed plastic waste! The Government is investing $190 million to turbocharge Australia’s recycling of plastics, glass, paper and tyres. As well as the environmental benefits, this recycling plan will create 10,000 new jobs over the next 10 years. Since 2019 we have invested $40.4 million in 29 plastics recycling projects, leveraging investment of $157.4 million in new technology and infrastructure to sort and remanufacture waste plastic into new uses.

EXERCISE TALISMAN SABRE Exercise Talisman Sabre is the largest and most important bilateral military exercise between Australia and the US.

It was a privilege to meet some of the men and women from the ADF recently at Rockhampton and Shoalwater Bay and thank them for the vitally important work they are doing for our country.

Memories by Ned School Days, School Days “School Days, School days Good old golden rule days Reading, writing, arithmetic Taught to the tune of the hickory stick You were my Queen in Calico I was your bashful bare foot beau”. My first day at school, here was I aged six dressed up like Little Lord Fauntleroy, hair slicked down, new shoes, socks up, white shirt and a tie, new school bag loaded with enough lunch to feed an army. I was walked down to the main road by Mum and picked up by the teacher in his old Chevrolet, the Teacher was to be my chauffeur for some years and we got along quite well. Our School had some 12 students and three of us were new. The teachers first move was to show us the cane and put it up on the top of the cupboard and say “I would like to leave it up there, it’s up to you”. Our school was a weatherboard building with a fireplace at one end and board floor with bench seats and desks. Long-drop toilets were situated in the corner of the school yard. The curriculum was great – we learned our 1 to 12 times tables by rote and by the end of sixth year were able to add, subtract, do long division, multiply

and handle fractions and percentages and add up a column of pounds, shillings and pence and arrive at the correct answer. We were also given instruction on banking and share trading and the intricacy of short selling.

from the classics – Dumas, Stevenson or Kipling, all good, gutsy stuff. He also introduced us to poetry, the good stuff of Longfellow, Byron, Masefield and Paterson with rhyming verse and the ability to use words to describe situations.

The Teacher had the ability to make learning interesting, he would show how during the American Civil War the Australian Bushrangers ran riot and when the First Fleet arrived in Australia the French Revolution was in full sway.

The teacher’s philosophy was, that, all he could do was to show us how to learn. He would take our hand and walk with us along the road of life, helping us to choose the right direction, read the signs and avoid the holes, when we were ready he would take away his hand and we were on our own.

Geography was helped by a large globe of the world, a pupil would close his eyes and point to a spot on the globe and we would then be given a lesson on that country. There was great emphasis on speaking correctly and the use of the right words and correct spelling was of great importance. School wasn’t all about learning though – we – the young boys decided to take down the school bully. We couldn’t thump him because he was much bigger than us so we decided to be devious. When he opened his school bag he was likely to find a shingleback lizard or a piece of carbide or a match box with a large huntsman spider or a couple of red bull ants inside. He was too busy wondering what was coming next to worry about bullying us.

That was my entry into school. Later, at the age of 12 most of my peers had sufficient education to sustain them. Most were of the age to start an apprenticeship or go on the family farm and live happy and productive lives. I went on to high school to the world of Science, Economics, Technical Drawing and French. I went from being a big frog in a small puddle to being a very small frog in a very large puddle. On my first day when the teacher dropped me off, I came home with shoes around my neck, socks in my pocket, tie awry and as happy as a small pig in mud.

Every afternoon the Teacher would read to us

Regards, Ned!

YOUR LOCAL Community enters into ‘Permanent Water Saving Standards’ as water overflows Suma Park dam wall

COUNCIL AT WORK

Have your say about Lords Place south upgrade The next phase of the Lords Place south Future City upgrade community consultation is moving online, by giving residents the opportunity to share their ideas through Council’s ‘Your Say Orange’ consultation website.

OVERFLOW: how it looked in July 2016 when water flowed over the wall at Suma Park Dam

Permanent Water Saving Standards operate using the same criteria as the Level Two Water Restrictions. The only difference is that there is no time restriction on car washing under Permanent Water Saving Standards. ‘Permanent Water Savings Standards’ replaced the traditional Level One Restrictions. Permanent Water Savings Standards will be in place until the water storage level drops to 70 per cent, at which point the city would enter Level Two Restrictions.

The design of Lords Place between Summer and Kite streets is based on the Future City framework adopted by Council following a significant consultation process with the community and urban designers SJB. Cr Kidd said the framework provides some guiding principles. “Walkability, making our CBD more attractive so more people spend more time there, and exploring ways to increase the number of people living and working in the CBD are key Future City themes. Orange City Council’s Employment and Economic Development Policy Committee Chair Cr Tony Mileto said the next step is coming up with a detailed concept design for the block of Lords Place south of

— The next Orange City Council meeting will be held on Tuesday August 3, 2021.

FAQs:

Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said we received some great ideas through our two face-to-face forums and would like to give more people the opportunity to participate. “Council hosted two face to face forums with businesses and community members earlier this week and we received some really interesting ideas on what Lords Place south could look like,” Cr Reg Kidd said. “We now want to get more people involved as Lords Place is one of the key mixed commercial precincts in Orange, which links to our civic precinct and recreational facilities.”

BRIEFS:

Q: Why was the ‘Orange Readers and Writers Festival’ postponed? A: The Orange Readers and Writers UP NEXT: Members of the community are invited to provide their opinions on the future of Lords Place, between Summer and Kite streets.

Festival, which was set to be held on Friday 30 and Saturday 31 July 2021 was forced to be postponed due to the Sydney lockdown. A new date will be announced as soon as possible.

Summer Street. “We want to hear what you like about Lords Place now and what Lords Place should be like in the future,” Cr Mileto said. “It’s important that the Council listens to the community to get the best design possible. The simplest way to do that is to go online and visit YourSay Orange.” YourSay Orange can be found at: https://yoursay.orange.nsw.gov.au/best-ideas-forlords-place

CENTREPIECE: An impression of how the street will look when upgrades are complete.

Work has begun on construction of a new median strip in Lords Place, between Summer and Byng streets. The works are part of Orange City Council’s FutureCity project to make the central business district more pedestrian-friendly, as well as providing better connections for people walking from Summer Street to Robertson Park and the Civic Precinct. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said the installation of the median strip was the next step in upgrades to this block of Lords Place, with new kerb and guttering on both sides of the street completed,

www.orange.nsw.gov.au

and new footpaths on both sides of the street all but finished. “The 2.6-metre-wide median strip will assist with traffic flow in Lords Place, which will make it easier for someone on foot to cross the road safely,” Cr Kidd said. “A pedestrian crossing will be installed halfway along the block, outside 241 Lords Place.” “Once complete, the wider median strip will be the centrepiece of this street, with plantings of shrubs and trees.” Contractor AWCON will start the work from the

Summer Street end of the block. The road will still be open to traffic, but parking on the western side will be affected as the work progresses towards Byng Street. Eventually there will be no parking available on the western side of the block while the work is happening. Drivers will still be able to park on the Robertson Park side of the street. Barriers and signage will be in place, but motorists are urged to slow down, pay attention and follow the directions of traffic controllers when driving in the area, as contractors will be working in the middle of the road.

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

“It roars for days in the hopeless scrubs and across where the ground seems bare, With a cackle and hiss, like hissing snakes, the fire is travelling there, Till at last, exhausted by sleeplessness and the terrible toll and heat, The squatter is crying,”My God, the wool, and the farmer, My God, the wheat!” From “The Bushfire” by Henry Lawson Both Paterson and Lawson wrote emotively about fire and the destruction it caused, especially in the Australian bush. One of the worst fires in the Orange area occurred in January, 1985, in the Canobolas State Forest. It was reported in the Central Western Daily on Tuesday, 29th January, that it was burning out of control on a 3km front and “has destroyed farm cottages, farm buildings, hay sheds, stock and fences when it raced through more than 6000 hectares of bush and grazing land.” The fire had apparently started on the Checkers property near Cargo the previous day, and had swept through rough , timbered country east of the property in “100 F degree heat, fanned by hot winds.” The paper went on to say that “more than 150 firefighters from all available brigades as well as the Forestry Commission fought the blaze last night, with agricultural planes, operating from Orange airport, dumping water on the fire.”

Fire there would be a problem. I was asked what I thought would be best --water or grader and I said that either would do.” But nothing was done. Meanwhile, Ruth Christopherson was alone with her four small children when she had a phone call from Grahame Brown, telling her of the fire. “My husband, Tim, was away at an Australia Day function, so I spent time trying to get hold of him to come home. Grahame arrived, looked at my garden and said ‘You’re going to have fried tomatoes!’ At this stage the fire was coming over the hill towards us.” “It would have been so simple to stop it then,” added Max. But no orders were given. “ At about 3 o’clock the next afternoon the wind blew up”, continued Max, “ and I was asked to get all the aircraft I possibly could into the air. None of the boys were there, but I luckily ran into Gerald Ingham at Orange airport”.

A few years ago I was able to talk to several people who were closely-involved in that dreadful time.

The fire was now coming over the top of the mountain and towards the Forestry Commission.

On that hot, still morning nearly thirty years ago, Max Hazelton was already awake.

At this stage, Bill Speers was ready and standing by for instructions about where to go.

“At about 6am on Sunday, 27th January, Boree Shire asked me to find out where the smoke they could see was coming from,” said Max. “I took off in a cropping aircraft, had a look around, and discovered it was burning in a very small island of grassland, completely isolated, but I knew that if a wind came-up

said Leonard, “I went over to my parents’ house and tried to put in a firebreak but it was pretty hopeless as it was so rocky.

Leonard Hughes was on his property, “Bundella” at Four Mile creek, drenching sheep when his mother came down to tell him there was a fire at Checkers. “We finished drenching and I was told to stand by with a tank of water on my truck.” Jeff Morrow was there at the start.

"Then I went to my brother’s place at 'Barton Park' and Lloyd Baker was there doing firebreaks but, by the time the fire reached there, it was so quick that he didn’t have time to drive away--just jumped off the tractor and ran. "He managed to jump into someone’s ute driving by and got away!” “The Forestry was on two sides--the pines on the western side of Canobolas and the eucalypts on the other, said Max. “It had been in the Cabonne area to the west and it came over the creek but, when we were called, it was too late to do anything effective and it took off up the hill, burning very quickly. If we’d had the fire units there at that time, we could have stopped it. We looked like being trapped but found an area about 15 yards across, mostly rock, and with the use of the hose we managed to stay upright and just watched the fire take off.” “At that stage most of the men were out mustering,” added Ruth, “which was very dangerous work. Once the fire came over the ridge, it was very tough.” Now the fire had a life of its own, fanned by a hot westerly wind. “It did jump a lot,” said Leonard. “When it came over the Blackrock Range, it probably jumped 200 metres and it was going everywhere--scary! We had to get around it, and drive as fast as we could with a load of water. The fire was still in the farmland but it got to the forest later.” “Late in the afternoon I was told that if I wanted to get out, now was the time,” Ruth told us. “The fire was coming down at us and nobody knew what would happen. By that time, it was in the forest and we were just ahead of it. I took the children into town to their grandparents and spent the night with a neighbour, but we were all still in the line of fire.” “After I got back from Blackrock Range,”

“ We tried to stop the fire getting into the western side, but it went right into the mountain. We helped people on the ground wherever they wanted water dropped, but it went over towards Blayney. "Canobolas has a lot of valleys and grassland which made it very difficult to control. When it finally reached the open country, it was much easier to control.” Fran and Kate Sullivan were teenagers and watched it from their father’s property. “We thought it looked like a volcano with lava running down the sides!” they said. “When I drove back from town, it was like a moonscape, said Ruth, all black and smouldering. On Wednesday it came back down south, so no-one really missed it, but thankfully no houses or lives were lost.” Dr Bernie Huxtable was asked to go with a party of firefighters to inspect the area about a week later. “We drove through the blackened, devastated bush and there, up on the hillside, was what looked like a blacksmith’s furnace, roaring away in the roots of a huge hollow tree. A spark could have started the whole thing all over again!” Methods of fire-fighting have changed quite a lot since then but the courage and tenacity of those involved remains the same.

RULES FOR REALTORS, TENANTS, AND BUYERS DURING LOCKDOWN With COVID-19 still impacting much of our daily lives, it’s vital to know what you can and can’t do regarding restrictions in our booming real estate market. Q. D o people need to wear a mask while in a real estate agents office? A. Yes, everyone and at all times, unless an exemption applies, for example – medical reasons or a person is working alone in their office without anyone in the room.

Q. A re outgoing inspections for rental properties, still permitted with the tenant present? A. Yes

Q. C an a tenant in a rental property, currently refuse to allow a periodic inspection by the realtor? A. Strictly no, but it might be easier and safer for realtors to defer inspections if the tenant refuses, at least until after the most recent lockdowns. If the tenant claims to be fearful that the inspection will expose them to a risk of contracting COVID-19, then it is difficult to see the licensing body siding with the landlord.

Q. Can agents conduct open or onsite auctions? A. Yes, open inspections as well as auctions can still be conducted, provided that COVID-19 Safety Plans are in place and social distancing requirements are complied with (such as, the four-square metre rule).

Q. I am a buyer/tenant, can I go to an open or onsite auction outside Greater Sydney? A. Yes.

Q. I am an agent and live outside of the Greater Sydney area, can I go into Greater Sydney to do an open or onsite auction?

Sydney area, can I go into Greater Sydney to attend an open or onsite auction? A. No, auctions and opens cannot occur in Greater Sydney. Although private inspections may take place in Greater Sydney via appointment; it is recommended not to do this because you will become an “affected person” under the public health order and will need to comply with the stay at home restrictions in that order for 14 days once you leave Greater Sydney.

Q. C an I move to a new place of residence, including a business moving to new premises, or between different places of residence? A. Yes, you can move to a new place of residence or business.

Q. W hat happens locally to Strata and body corporate meetings? A. If possible, these meetings should be postponed. If not, then provided the owners corporation permits it, make arrangements to hold the meeting online.

Q. C an an employer insist on a team member having a COVID-19 test when they appear to have symptoms consistent with COVID-19? A. An employer has a duty to provide a safe workplace for their employees. However, rather than insisting on the employee getting a COVID-19 test, ask them to go to their doctor and get a medical certificate stating that they are fit for work.

A. No, auctions and opens cannot occur in Greater Sydney.

Q. I f you have a tenant or a purchaser that wants to move into their property, are they allowed to move to a new house?

Q. I am a tenant/buyer and live outside of the Greater

A. Yes.

MARG LONGHURST 0499 013 427 Sales Co-ordinator

Q. I s it okay to go to somebody’s home and do a market appraisal? A. Yes.

Q. C an realtors refuse entry to a client to go into a property or into our office if they do not have a mask and are refusing to wear one? A. The obligation to wear a mask is a personal one. You are not the policeman for the rules. However, as an employer you have a duty to provide a safe workplace, so someone not wearing a mask exposes your team to a risk so they should be prohibited from entry.

Q. D o we need to wear masks when completing open for inspections in regional NSW? A. Yes, face masks are mandatory.

Q. Can an agent do letterbox drops? A. Yes, as this is a task that cannot be performed from home.

Q. I s door-knocking allowed for sales prospecting by realtors? A. Whilst you may be doing your job, you need to think about the reaction you may get from people under the current circumstances. Practically, it may not give you good publicity in your community and we suggest you steer clear of it at the present time.

Q. W ill landlords be required to give commercial tenants relief for the two weeks of lockdown? A. No. To date, the NSW Government has not enacted any legislation that requires landlords to provide their commercial tenants with rent relief during the lockdown period.

TRADES AND SERVICE BUSINESS PROFILE

WORKPLACE SAFETY A FOCUS AT INTEGRAL SKILLS Workplace safety is the first priority of the mining and construction industries.

Getting home from a day’s work in one piece is the most important thing we think about when we send our loved one’s off to work each day. Ensuring that everyone in our construction and mining industries have the training to achieve this, is the role of one of Orange’s leading training provider, Integral Skills. “We specialise in training for a range of industries; providing high-risk work licence training and assessments,” Lyndal Molloy, who runs the business with her husband, Matt, said.

training to the specific needs of construction and mining in the central west. “Now that we are our own RTO (registered training organisation); all our packages are designed for local industries, so our training is specifically aimed at workers in the region,”. Courses they run range from basic Yellow and White cards, CPR, working at heights, confined spaces, and entry and supervisor’s courses.

Mudgee facility as well,” Lyndal said. Matt had previously run a dedicated scaffolding business and saw the increasing importance that safety and accreditation were going to play in the future. “Matt worked in the mining industry for 30 years; and our team are also all from industry, ensuring you receive relevant knowledge,” Lyndal explained.

“These are things that you’ve simply got to have, our job is to provide the training to make sure that everyone operates safely.”

Their high-risk work licence courses cover areas as diverse as forklift (one of their most popular tickets) elevated work platforms, dogging, basic and intermediate rigging, scaffolding, and a range of advanced crane courses.

Accreditation, she adds, is not the only benefit of these courses, learning new skills is something that we need to encourage our whole working lives. “It’s really important, not just as a requirement to have the tickets, but also for upskilling, keeping you safe, learning on the job, and lifetime learning.

Lyndal added that, being a locally-run and managed business allows Integral to tailor all their

Amanda Spalding Elections in the time of COVID… Make sure you have your say! With COVID rearing its ugly head again, there was some speculation about whether the NSW Local Government elections would be taking place on Saturday, September 4. On 9th July the NSW Government approved a regulation to allow the elections to go ahead with some important changes to how you can vote at this election. If you want to have your say in who your new mayor and councillors will be, then the information below may be useful. For starters, “i-voting” is available for the first-time in NSW for this election. iVote applications and voting opens on Monday,

On top of that, postal voting has also been made easier. In addition to existing criteria for postal voting, you are now able to use postal voting if you: • are a permanent or temporary resident in a hospital, nursing home, retirement village or similar facility; • are self-isolating because of COVID-19related reasons; • reasonably believe that, attending a polling place on election day, will pose a risk to the health or safety of yourself or people around you, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s important to note that, at previous elections, it was normal for the NSW Electoral Commission to visit nursing homes, convalescent homes, and similar institutions to allow residents to vote onsite before election day. This is not going to happen for this election. Nor will there be

hospital voting centres offered for the 2021 Local Government elections due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All of this is explained on the NSW Electoral Commission website at: Voting | Other Voting Options | Early Voting, Postal Voting & iVote - NSW Electoral Commission If you have any queries that we can help you with, please do not hesitate to contact Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association (ORRA) for assistance on 0417 288 246 or at orra2800@gmail.com. And don’t forget, voting is compulsory, so the above options may be an easy way to avoid the $55 fine for not voting. It’s worth also noting, that the changes to the September poll will heavily-favour incumbents who already have a profile, and candidates backed by the major parties who have the funds and resources to campaign through letterbox drops and the like. You may have to keep a sharper-eye out to notice some of the lessor-known candidates putting their hands-up to represent you!

JULY 22—28, 2021 35

THE COUNCIL GAME

MOCK COUNCILLOR Eunice Adetifa Orange is quite a prosperous place, but it does concern me that, in running a medical centre, I see the difficulties that many people face in accessing the health services that they need. While health services are the primary responsibility of State and Federal governments, local government also has an important role to play. Through local knowledge of community needs, councils are able to provide leadership in advocating for improved services and assisting in long-term planning for the growing needs of the community. It has been identified that people living in rural and remote areas face barriers to accessing health care. Part of which includes, that they often have to travel very long distances to get the care they need due to lack of nearby health services. Some of the other identified difficulties that people face, include having to pay gap payments for consultations/health services. This can deter people with low-levels or inadequate income from accessing health services. This can then result in worse health outcomes than would be expected. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW) in its Web Report on Rural and Remote Health, stated in October 2019 that: “On average, Australians living in rural and remote areas have shorter lives, higher levels of disease and injury, and poorer access to and use of health services, compared with people living in metropolitan areas. Poor health outcomes in rural and remote areas may be due to multiple factors including lifestyle differences and a level of disadvantage related to education and employment opportunities, as well as access to health services”. Orange has a good tertiary hospital. In the light of the influx of people moving into Orange, we need to ask ourselves, what we should be looking to change in our health care system in years to come. Is our health system, including the doctors/GP practices in Orange, able to serve the needs of our community? Are we going to continue to have a long waiting-time in order to access health services? My thoughts are about how we can share our prosperity better in Orange. I don’t have the answers. I just think it’s an important question for us to ask ourselves.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Greater Good Every so often, a subject or issue seems to become the topic of the times. The biggest one of all, right across the world, is without a doubt Climate Change. I, like so many, simply don’t buy it, but whether I do or whether I don’t, it’s not going to go away so let’s not go there. A more recent issue that’s become a major issue is, mental health and suicide, and now Orange Council has been asked to become involved in the issue by granting the placement of blue trees and blue seats around the city. This is a very serious and emotional topic, but my purpose here is not to debate whether that’s a

36 JULY 22—28, 2021

wise thing for our Council to do or not, but rather to encourage us all to think why poor mental health is now affecting so many people, and then to start conversations on how we can stop the escalating trend. Blue trees and blue seats to me, sound more like another band-aid solution to the problem, when we should be looking at what’s causing the problem in the first place. I’m no psychologist, but good sense says to me, that mental health problems, in many cases, would stem from hardship in one form or another. Hardship comes in many forms, and I suspect in many cases, involves money, or the lack of it, in some way. Financial problems, unemployment, health issues, relationship problems, homelessness, even business owners coping with COVID, are just some of the causes that see people facing hardship and, possibly, being driven to despair. My view is that, if we start to address these issues, mental health issues and the number of suicides will reduce. Prevention measures before treatment measures, would be my aim. A good council can play a part in helping in all these areas, and the “help” I’m talking about is a great deal more than putting blue trees and blue seats around the City. If I had the power, I’d build a 100-bed homeless facility and look at what businesses Council could own and operate that could employ up to 100 people. I’d get the community involved too. If supporters of the Regional Gallery can raise $500,000, imagine what the broader community could do if they had a mind to. That’d be a start.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Frances Kinghorne I am a huge fan of any proposal that encourages people to be more active. If we have great walking tracks, people are more likely to walk. If we have great cycling infrastructure, then people are more likely to get on their bikes and pedal. Increased physical activity results in healthier people, a most desirable outcome. There are numerous cycling lanes in Orange already, most of which have appeared magically, courtesy of some white paint and line marking equipment, and a subsequently-narrower road. They are not dedicated cycling lanes, however, but shared with parked cars and vehicles moving in-and-out of driveways. They also seem to randomly stop-and-start. I often wonder how safe they are, and this view is compounded by the lack of head protection worn by some local cyclists, especially those who seemingly cannot-afford to lose any brain capacity. I really like the idea of dedicated cycling tracks or shared zones with walkers, including those that link Orange with destinations out of town (wineries, Lake Canobolas, Millthorpe). The establishment of such facilities would make our beautiful city and neighbouring towns even more attractive for tourists. In relation to mountain bike trails, the establishment of these in some Australian locations has definitelyenhanced local prosperity; and has the capacity to do the same thing here. Local State forest areas already have some such trails which seem to be well-patronised, and there is a drive to increase

construction of these trails to produce a high-quality network likely to attract many cyclically-inclined visitors. This should be encouraged and would be attractive to many local cyclists as well. Where it gets tricky is finding the balance between construction and patronage of such infrastructure and the protection of the environment in ecologically-sensitive areas. Hopefully, we can achieve both.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Steve Peterson In responding to the question about safe-cycling in Orange, I should declare some conflicts-of-interest. I am a quadriplegic post bicycle-versus-car accident, and I volunteer with the Orange mountain bike club as their grants officer. I even have aspirations to get a power assisted tricycle to start riding again! Cycling is a low-impact aerobic exercise which I would recommend as both a doctor and cyclist to most people. It is suitable for a variety of fitness levels and medical conditions. In our city, Council can support safer cycling with broad footpaths, insisting on footpaths in new developments, and fixing them when they become damaged. Where paths that can take bikes off the road are possible, such as: the one between Gardner Road and Sundew Circuit; the wetlands track; or Elephant Park; Council should support these. When new roads are built, such as the Southern distributor, or are upgraded, such as Forest Road, this is a good-time to consider a bicycle lane or broad footpaths alongside the road. I was sad to see the demise of the BMX track and I would like support for these tracks for kids especially. External to Orange city, Council has supported biking infrastructure such as the Lake Canobolas Mountain Bike Park and the recently-created Glenwood Forest trails. A small amount of Council funds can go a long way, if there is an active volunteer network to build and maintain the tracks. I would love to see unused railway lines converted into bike-trails, with their low gradients and no cars, they are safe and accessible locations to ride. It’s worth stating, however, that there are limits to what government can do in regards to safe-cycling. Safety still relies on responsible practice by both motorist and cyclist, and even then, bad luck can strike.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Pot Stirrer As Election Day gets closer, those who have decided to stand for Council are starting to make themselves known, some as individuals, some in groups. What is interesting to me, is that all these people have had the opportunity to participate in the Orange City Life Council Game but, for some reason, several haven’t. When participation in the Council Game was first-offered, it was made very clear that,

THE COUNCIL GAME

above all else, it was an opportunity for prospective candidates to help get themselves better-known by the community, how they think, what they stand for, and so on. It would seem to make very good sense to take advantage of this opportunity, especially if one were fair dinkum in their attempt to get elected. Of course, several took-up the opportunity and it will be interesting to see how they fare with voters come Election Day. The other purpose behind the Council Game was to encourage the community to be more aware of city affairs and to take voting more seriously. A good strong group of committed councillors can only be a good thing for a growing city like Orange. That’s on the plus side. On the negative side, it’s really important that voters aren’t fooled by the avalanche of commentary by some uninformed or nasty people who just love to comment on everything across social media platforms. These people, who generally have nothing worthwhile to offer, are easy to pick. The same names pop-up with the same negative comments repeatedly and, you can tell by their tone, that providing constructive input is not their aim. More often than not, these people also bad-mouth a particular person as much as an issue, and that’s not what decent people do, especially on a platform where it’s almost impossible for victims to have their say in a fair manner. Social media is a very powerful tool that can be used for good or bad purposes. That said, I’m confident most Orange voters will be able to pick the wheat from the chaff and we can thank the Council Game for helping with that.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Lesley Smith Campaigning for the election in September is well underway with a strong focus on the challenges and issues ahead for our community. With only three remaining council meetings for our present elected representatives, I have been thinking about their contribution to the development of Orange.

I acknowledge and appreciate their efforts on our behalf. Today, I would like to take a more-reflective historical perspective about the way forward; a perspective that will inform my approach to local government and governance, regardless of the issue. Our past informs our future. It achieves this in two ways: first, by providing the context in which decisions were made, and, second, by considering the various experiences and outcomes that enable us to identify what does and does not work. A willingness to learn from past experiences, will influence how successful and effective a renewed council will be. Lessons learnt from previous council decisions and strategic directions are powerful in avoiding future missteps and failures. That said, it is just as important to reflect on past achievements and successes. They are important in identifying what works well and why. Being aware and informed about previous council actions, doesn’t mean we keep doing the same thing: it can also foster an approach that is fresh and innovative. A reflective approach based on previous learning does generate: • A sensitive and thoughtful attitude to responding to problems and community issues. An awareness of things that do not work or ﬁt together and why. • A trigger for generating lots of ideas; ideas that are new and not just replications of old ideas. • Flexibility and an ability to shift between different perspectives. A capacity to view a problem from different angles and branch-out into new channels of thought. • Analytical thinking which organises information into larger, more-inclusive patterns and that focuses on relevant and critical aspects. Forecasting what lies ahead is notoriously difficult, a lesson reinforced by the current pandemic; but we do know from past history that some community issues remain persistent (such as the need for a secure water supply) and require a reflective and futurefocused solution. Collective community memory is something to be preserved and harnessed to shape a prosperous and progressive future based on learnings from the past.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Daniel McGregor In answer to Sally Spence’s question: “What do you think Orange City Council should do to support safecycling in Orange City and the surrounding district, and how important is this to you?” Yes, it is important to me that Orange City Council should support safe-cycling in the Orange region. We only have to look at what some other regions are doing in this space, to see the potential. Take Bright in Victoria as an example. Smaller population, but similar climate, and anyone who has been there would see why it might also be called a ‘colour city’. It has positioned-itself as that: “State’s premier cycling destination: for enthusiastic amateurs on cross-bikes, family groups with kids on trainer wheels, mountainbiking adventurers, and serious road warriors.” Picasso is supposed to have said, that great artists don’t borrow, they steal. We don’t have to re-invent the bicycle wheel, we can learn from what Bright has done and turn Orange into NSW’s premier cycling destination. For anyone who wants to Google it, you’d have to think Bright’s ‘Pedal to Produce’ concept particularly lends itself to Orange. Council will need to ensure that wide shoulders are provided on the roads that are the most-popular cycling routes, as well as well-maintained, dedicated off-road trails and tracks. For mine, I’d feel like I was taking my life in my hands riding a bike on some of the narrow roads in the region, and it’s a miracle there are not more serious accidents each year. If we did want to become the State’s premier cycling destination, we would most certainly have to spend money to make money. And this would need to be done in conjunction with our neighbouring councils. In terms of mountain biking, there’s so much potential! The only caveat to that is that it should not be done in the State Conservation Area at the top of Mount Canobolas. There are plenty of other ways to create a world-class mountain bike facility without risking that area. It’s another tourist opportunity in its own regard. Cycling is definitely something Orange should embrace as much as possible.

LARA’S BATTLE OF LEUKAEMIA Earlier this week, OCLife was approached from Sarah the organiser of a go-fund-me page for little Lara.

Men’s Probus Club Notes The reality of lock down, those objectionable masks, and physical distancing is with us again, and while we try to get used to the new “normal”? it is important for our own sake and others, to keep in regular contact with friends and family. Meeting new friends at Probus is most rewarding.

No one should contact you by phone demanding money. If the Police, Bank or Tax Office want you they will contact you in person or by letter. Older people, being not tech savvy, are most vulnerable to scammers. World wide over half a TRILLION dollars is scammed by people who make it a business.

It is equally important to keep mind and body active; use it or lose it. Probus helps in this area with fellowship, activities and interesting, helpful guest speakers.

Make sure your security and passwords are secure. Do not use family names or pets in passwords. If something sounds too good to be true, don’t touch it. It is too good to be true.

A good roll up at July meeting enjoyed a most interesting and helpful address by Senior Constable Jeff Mullen. Brian Coyne introduced Jeff who has had an interesting career. He was a noted Rugby League player before moving to England where he trained, and served with Yorkshire Police.

All trades people must have a license; if you don’t know them, ask to see it. Do not open unsolicited attachments, and never use free WiFi, and do not buy expensive items on Internet.

Back in Australia he joined the NSW Police, and is a Senior Constable in Orange where he is a crime prevention officer, and Youth Liaison Officer. Jeff spoke about scams, identity theft and domestic violence.

38 JULY 22—28, 2021

Keep your letter box locked; mail is stolen every day, and when using ATM look and feel for any device that could copy your card number. Cards can be scammed from a distance, and always check your statement; a small amount may be the trial for a bigger one to come. Cards can be scammed from a distance. Jeff then addressed ABUSE:- Domestic abuse,

financial abuse, Psychological abuse, neglect, physical and sexual abuse. You should register who you want contacted in case of your death; this can be done online, or at a Police station. In answer to questions, Jeff advised, the majority of scammers are overseas and our police have no Jurisdiction. Overseas scammers are linked to unregistered servers, so can’t be traced. Don’t call missed calls unless you recognize the number. Beware of Tic Toc as it is linked to Chinese Government and is never deleted. Jeff was thanked for his thought-provoking address. He can be contacted at Orange Police Station. Men’s Probus next meets Wednesday 4th August, 10 a.m. and you are assured of an interesting Guest Speaker and good fellowship over a cuppa at the Services Club. Keith Rawsthorne

Old District Hospital

This week’s photo show the old Orange District Hospital which was situated on the eastern side of Anson Street between Prince and Dalton streets. It was a modest two-storey building housing just three wards with four beds in each. It is the second building from the left. In time, a number of additions were made, resulting in the group of attached buildings seen in the photo. It fell into disuse following the opening of the Base Hospital in 1933, which was situated just west of the old building. The old hospital was demolished in 1959.

Photo courtesy CWD Negative Collection, Orange & District Historical Society. The society has a working day at 148 March Street each Wednesday from 10.30am to 4pm, at which time members are available to answer inquiries from the public. 46 JULY 22—28, 2021

THUMBS DOWN to the two girls from Orange High School who were not wearing their masks properly. I have reported you. You schoolgirls think you’re so smart. Guess, what you’re not!

THUMBS DOWN to the person who gave a thumbs down to people who drive with only one head-light working. This person states that, a vehicle with only one working headlight might appear to be a motorcycle. This REALLY made me angry. Basically he/she is saying that they need be aware of vehicles with two working headlights, but motorcycles are not a concern and can be ignored! No wonder then, in collisions between a car and a motorcycle, around 70–80 per cent of these involve the car-driver at fault for failing to give way to the motorcyclist! Maybe this person needs an attitude-readjustment to care for all road-users. Thanks for letting me vent my spleen! THUMBS DOWN to inconsiderate groups of teenagers and young adults ruining watching movies in cinemas by talking, tapping, Snapchatting and Facebooking, and more. Some of us don’t get the luxury of being able to spend some time with their partner, and when they finally can, its ruined by inconsiderate brats! THUMBS UP A huge, huge thumbs up to all the staff at Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital. Thanks for saving my dog’s life! THUMBS DOWN to the owners of defective vehicles hooning-around Molong Road and Woodward Street. I hope the Highway Patrol fines you over your defective cars. THUMBS UP to Dr Jalal and Barratt and Smith Pathology, for a quick and accurate assessment of my serious illness, then immediately referring me to Emergency at Orange Health Services. Also, to the amazing team of caring professional people who worked on me 24-hours-a-day for nine-days. They are numbers I cannot count! I know we live in a great city and a lucky country, but such teamwork from a culturally and racially-diverse team is because they ALL truly care for all people. I thank them and urge you to treat them with kindness and respect. THUMBS UP to the staff at “Need a Nerd”. Not only are they always helpful, cheerful, and patient with those of us who are less tech-savvy, but the service is excellent. too. Recently, they were also very solicitous and calming when I was faint and unwell. I appreciate it — they’re a great bunch! THUMBS UP to the two Karens and Live Better Community Transport and their drivers, for arranging a shortnotice trip for me this week. I know sometimes this is hard to do, and I really appreciate your efforts. Great work, ladies and gentlemen! THUMBS UP(triple) to the lovely, kind gentleman that stayed with me during the stressful time I went through Saturday afternoon until help came. You will never know how much that meant to one lady. Thank-you so much. THUMBS UP A huge thumbs up to the past-president of the Mullion Creek Progress Association and the committee for their success in securing grants to provide the activities and equipment in Mullion Creek. Those involved over the past years, have now stood-down after much hard work and their achievements should be acknowledged. Not only do the new facilities benefit the local community, but also LiveBetter, who regularly use the area for their members. So, credit where credit is due, to those who put all the work in behind the scenes. THUMBS UP to the two lovely young ladies, who came to help me following my car accident at the Clinton/Prince Streets intersection on Friday, July 9. Thank-you for your kindness and assistance which was so much appreciated.

THUMBS UP A big thumbs up to Jodie at Barratt and Smith pathology. Her care and compassion are wonderful. THUMBS DOWN to the Orange people who don’t seem to be taking the COVID-19 restrictions seriously. Don’t whinge or put your hand-out, if we go into lockdown. THUMBS UP A huge thumbs up to Zac at Pete’s Car Wash on Tuesday afternoon for helping me. A very pleasant and helpful young man. I will be back. THUMBS UP Congratulations to the medical practices and facilities in Orange providing Astra Zeneca COVID-19 vaccinations to the over 70’s. The process was accessible, streamlined, and excellent. THUMBS UP to Lynne from the Wellness Family Medical Centre for your painless vaccination technique. THUMBS UP to the students who performed at the James Sheahan Catholic High School “Sheahan Showcase”. Your dedication and enthusiasm were so evident. THUMBS DOWN to the National Party politicians who supported Barnaby Joyce for leadership. A leader who is, himself, incapable of even following a NSW Health Directive, another reason not to support the National Party. THUMBS UP and THUMBS DOWN to Orange Health Service. Thumbs up for the great service that I received from the patient transport service. Thumbs down to the lower ground floor area where I entered the hospital. The carpark area requires a decent clean-up, especially as it is used to unload patients. The area near the lifts was stacked with excess furniture and the closest hand-wash was empty. Not a good look, during these COVID times. THUMBS UP A big thumbs up to John and the staff at the Central Hotel, Eugowra for making my birthday celebrations so memorable. We all had a great time with good company, great service, and the food is to die for! Well-done and, once again, many thanks! THUMBS DOWN I would like to give a huge “thumbs down” to the tradies out there who are installing gas ducted heating or reverse-cycle air-conditioning but don’t know what they are doing. It is about time that councils or governments started inspecting the rubbish some poor customers are having installed in their homes. Quality of work should be a priority for all tradespeople, no matter what job you do. People are paying you to do a good job, and that is what they should receive. Councils or governments could not be bothered making sure that people are not being rippedoff, they only check the necessary when signing-off on new homes, and that is not good enough. Tradies, have some pride in your work and stand-up and take responsibility when you stuff-up – go back and fix your mistakes. Better yet, learn how to do the job properly in the first place. THUMBS UP to Orange Pinot & Paint — Excellent service, generous and understanding... Liz refunded (despite their clearly-stated policy) a large sum with no questions or debate! Not many recreational services would do that!

THUMBS UP to the farrier, Darcy. We so appreciate that he turns-up on time for bookings. We actually appreciated that he actually turned-up. The pony’s feet have never been better. THUMBS UP A big thumbs up to Sheree and Harry at Telstra Orange for their patience, expertise, and excellent people skills. THUMBS UP to Auto-Tune in Orange. My overall experience there was amazing. They fixed my car really quickly and it was a very good price for what they did. The mechanic went out of his way to explain everything to me, even though he looked very busy. The lovely lady at the front desk was such a delight. Thank you, guys, I will definitely be back. THUMBS DOWN to tourism and tourists, local businesses, and industries of the like, who cater to and for only that “TYPE” of bank account and for tourism from outside of Orange during a lockdown. Does it take a tourist with COVID-19 to make Orange wake-up? HUGE THUMBS UP to Jake, Shane, and Rick at the “Door Store” for a fantastic job you guys did in installing my new roller-doors. Great team and service. Keep-up the great work! THUMBS UP A big thumbs up to the two young ladies on check outs at Kmart on Thursday night, May 15. My fouryear-old granddaughter accidently dropped a small, favourite toy into the hanger bin while putting hangers in. She was so upset, thinking it was gone forever. These two lovely girls emptied the whole bin (and it was full) to get her toy back. Such kindness. Thank-you again, ladies! THUMBS UP to the thoughtful postie in the Moulder and Hill Street area. He made the effort to place my parcel on my veranda out-of-view from the street. Thank-you so much. THUMBS DOWN to this traffic problem in town – if they can open up the Margaret Street rail crossing with flashing lights and boom gates, it should also be possible for the Franklin Road and Peisley Street intersection. Why is that intersection closed? There are traffic lights there. Maybe a job for the new Council. THUMBS UP to the little girl with the umbrella on Prime TV. Thank-you as we both can hear and understand all of her very clear speech every day!
