THIS WEEK’S COVERS

We’ve just gone through another seven-day COVID-19 lockdown, and who knows where this all ends? We here at Orange City Life had been planning a series of features titled "My Orange", celebrating some of our magical milestones with locals from various sections of our community reminiscing about events from the golden years of The Colour City.

This was to include businesses with a long history of proud service in the town talking about how it’s changed, local politicians, sporting legends, people who went to school here and still call Orange home — the possibilities were varied and exciting. But, as Scottish poet, Robert Burns, once observed, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry.

Sneak peek of another atmospheric pictorial from Samuel Rodwell

In the grim realities of the present situation, we’ve decided to hold this particular series over, until more propitious times return, as they no doubt will.

PAGE

While on the current situation, there is another idea that we have brewing, however. Here at OCL, where we aim to bring-out the best in people, we’re going to lead a campaign encouraging people to look-after their neighbours and mates through the present crisis, and after, into our recovery period. Many of us are under extreme pressure for a variety of reasons and, rather than simply push the mental health concerns, let’s get on the front-foot and encourage the positive activity of friendship; touching-base with people; doing something nice for our neighbours; being nice to our workmates; little things that can make a big difference. The theme of our series is, “Don’t just wonder - Reach out anyway!”

Published by Orange City Life Pty Ltd ABN 14 649 575 333

The series is only in the first stages of development, but we’ll get started in the next week or so, and hopefully provide some genuine ideas for making this most difficult of times, a little easier for us all.

Brigadier General Harold Elliott.

BATTLE AT FROMELLES PART 1:

Australia’s bloodiest day IN OUR MILITARY HISTORY — SAMUEL RODWELL —

In July 1916, the battle of Fromelles marked Australia's entry onto the Western Front of the Great War in France to fight German forces. The battle was infamous for the terrible loss of life suffered by the men of the all-volunteer Australian Imperial Force.

attled-hardened from the Gallipoli campaign, roughly 300,000 Australians served on the Western Front - where within a single battle that lasted only 24-hours, 5533 casualties were claimed from the Australian 5th Division.

Signifying the bloodiest day in Australia’s brief military history, many war academics state that the Australians were used as cannon-fodder by the British, and even their own Australian commanders. The claim is that this battle was only ever a feint to keep the Germans' reserve forces at Fromelles to prevent them from reinforcing units fighting on the Somme Offensive. Previous failed attempts to take Fromelles occurred throughout the Great War before the ANZACS arrival on the Western Front. In May 1916, the British 8th Division launched an attack to seize German positions at what is known as the Ridge. During the attack, artillery strikes failed to destroy the German defences, resulting in the decimation of 11,000 British soldiers who were wounded or cut-down by the enemy. After the battle, it required seven days to bury the dead.

6 JULY 29 — AUGUST 4, 2021

Upon Australia’s arrival on the Western Front, the British commander in charge of the new Fromelles attack, General Richard Haking, was based in Sailly, 187km away from the front. Haking believed the Allied fighting force could take the German line in much smaller numbers and reach the enemy’s far-end trench, although, this belief was misguided. Tasked for this was the Australian 5th Division, commanded by Gallipoli-veteran Lieutenant General Sir James McCay, along with the British 61st Division, who were to make preparations to storm the German line scheduled for July 19, and seize the far-end trench objective. Brigadier General Harold “Pompey” Elliott, commanding the Australian 15th Brigade, part of the 5th Division, communicated his misgivings about the approaching battle. These ranged from concerns regarding the battleground being waterlogged and in clear-view of German positions, including the Sugarloaf salient, a series of concrete bunkers fortified with machine guns able to fire forward and to each side of the attacking Allied infantry. Additionally, it’s was considered the British 61st Division was under-equipped, and the Australian 5th Division’s first experience of

combat on the Western Front, did not convince the Brigadier General regarding his superiors plan of attack for his men. No-man’s land distance between the two fronts were also highly-inconsistent, from reports of the line-of-attack being from 140 to 400m wide. This added complications for the soldiers who would traverse the battlefield. Major Howard, a staff officer from Field Marshal Douglas Haig’s headquarters, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force on the Western Front, visited the Fromelles frontline and was taken by Brigadier General Elliott to an outpost in no man’s land that overlooked the main concern for the pending battle, the Sugarloaf salient. After Elliot pointed-out the flaws in planning and what awaited his men, and with Major Howard’s own review of the battlefield first-hand, he concluded the forthcoming battle’s outcome would be “a bloody holocaust”. Despite the efforts of Elliott and Howard, their pre-emptive assessment, and pleas to stop their superiors flawed plan and strategy of taking the German line from going ahead... the AustralianBritish attack was still a "go".

Future of digital entertainment:

VIRTUAL WORLDS TO BLURRED REALITIES The last decade saw huge and significant changes across all facets of life — both technologically and socially. These changes have ranged from the expanse of portable digital devices and social media where we’re able to create virtual representations of ourselves, to the digital and physical worlds around us. These technologies have enabled us to converse with people from around the world, to creating ambiguous outlooks for ourselves, to sharing our subjective views instantaneously via the various connected digital platforms. This is a new form of communication and avenue for expressing ourselves in a digital and physical sense that is now common-practice, and which is continuously-evolving. The rise of photo-realistic computer-generated images (CGI) and virtual environments in visual entertainment, has allowed cinema audiences, television viewers, and gamers alike to immerse themselves in entirely-fantastical worlds that could had never been imagined so convincedly previously. We’ve all enjoyed entertainment at some point in our lives, that has trulyengulfed our attention and commanded our complete immersion. For many of, this now involves engaging with binge-worthy television series or open-world videogames that require hundreds of hours to explore thoroughly through these highly- detailed realised worlds. There are many examples of contemporary, immersive entertainment that we’ve probably consumed too-much of and are now slightly-addicted to, all because these worlds are so appealing and enthralling. This immersion is enhanced further with virtual reality, where interactive experiences are encountered within the virtual world that is commonly-achieved through the medium of gaming — whether in two dimensions or VR (virtual reality). There is also “Augmented Reality” where digital interactive experiences unfold in the real-world environments with the assistance of specific devices guiding the user. When we so-call “visit” these digital worlds for whatever reason — usually for escapism from the mundane elements of our lives — it can sometimes be hard to come back to our own reality. That’s how gamers can sustain the long, sleepless nights — because they’re so engaged and stimulated from their immersion within these virtual worlds — that the perception of time, reality, and lack of sleep becomes less-apparent when they’re consciousness is actively existing within these digital worlds they’re interacting with. Mind, body, and soul is connected through these experiences and has the potential for individuals to lose their sense of reality and, even identity, due to the immersion. From the above context, many experts are predicting within the social, technological and entertainment fields, that the future of visual entertainment will eventually blur the line between our digital and real-life realities. So much so, that the definition of what is considered to be our “true” reality will become unclear. This prediction certainly suggests great open-ended extremities that are ambiguous from where we are currently now, socially, and societally. However, the behavioural signs are there and the way we consume entertainment is rapidlyevolving. This could mean that, someday, people will be living in multiple realities…

OCLife WHAT’S HAPPENING AT CADIA

Newcrest donates second fit testing machine to NSW Health to protect local healthcare workers Newcrest Mining’s $20M Community Support Fund has donated a second PortaCount® machine to Western NSW Local Health District (WNSWLHD) vCare (Virtual, Co-ordination, Access, Referral, Escalation), to test the fit of face masks and further protect frontline staff during the management of COVID-19 patients. vCare is a 24/7 critical care telehealth service that provides specialist clinical management advice, transport support and proactive ‘Virtual Support’ patient monitoring, all designed to improve the delivery of high quality and safe health care to all communities. Last year, Newcrest donated a PortaCount® machine to Orange Health Service, with the second machine required now more than ever following the recent introduction of restrictions into the region.

Cadia uses the same PortaCount® machine for its face mask fit testing program to ensure the Cadia workforce are effectively wearing their respiratory protection.

“A second machine was essential to ensuring the frontline staff feel safe and protected when treating patients in the field, and when transporting them between facilities.”

When the COVID-19 crisis began, the need for effective respiratory protective equipment (RPE) became vital, particularly in the medical sector. As well as providing the right RPE, it is also important that it fits properly to provide protection from airborne contaminants containing COVID-19. Newcrest loaned their PortaCount® machine to the Orange Health Service and provided a trainthe-trainer program to enable an in-house fit testing program for medical staff.

“Frontline medical staff have been working tirelessly to ensure our community is safe and we are pleased to donate this machine to help ensure their safety,” Aaron said.

“We use our machine on a daily basis, and the Orange Health Service has been able to utilise their machine for the past 12 months,” Cadia General Manager, Aaron Brannigan, said

Virtual Rural Care Clinical Nurse Consultant, Amanda Hunter, said “The PortaCount® machine provides easy access to quantitative respirator fit testing which will ensure our vCare front line workers have the best respiratory protection as part of personal protective equipment protocols. With the correct fit for each individual the appropriate respirator will be used and worn safely by health workers along with other infection prevention controls in place to ensure protection

from potential exposures.” The PortaCount® respirator fit testing equipment is a specialised machine that measures real-time fit while the user performs a series of moving, breathing and talking exercises designed to simulate the same movements made in the field. Newcrest’s Community Support Fund was established last year to assist our host communities with the challenges associated with COVID-19.

Remote witnessing of documents by Audio Visual Link With the recent introduction of the stay-at-home orders for the Orange, Blayney and Cabonne councils it was an excellent reminder of the options available to practitioners and our clients to execute documents without clients attending the office. For most of our clients, we were able to postpone their appointment and/or conduct the appointment by phone or by video conferencing. However, for some of our clients’ deadlines were unable to be extended. Among other things, our clients needed to execute documents that require us to witness said documents in order to exchange contracts, file and serve evidence for court proceedings and execute will documents. The necessitation of finalising and executing these documents was a reminder of our ability to witness these documents without our client’s attending the office in person. S14G (1)(a) of the Electronic Transactions Act, 2000 states: Despite any other Act or law (a)

if the signature of a document is required under an Act or another law to be witnessed, the signature may be witnessed by audio visual link.

This section therefore allows us to observe a client signing a document via audio visual link and witness the signature on that basis. We are required to endorse the document with a statement specifying the method used to witness the signature i.e. zoom, and a statement referencing the relevant section of the Electronic Transaction Act. Therefore, if you are unable to attend our office and are required to execute documents that need to be witnessed by a solicitor, please contact us and we can arrange a time to execute these documents via audio visual link.

CYCLING AND WALKING TRAILS PROPOSAL TO SUPERCHARGE

Central West Tourism — SAMUEL RODWELL —

n ambitious proposal to link wineries and local business with dedicated bike and walking trails is being put forward by cycling community group, the Orange BUG's (Bicycle User Group).

A prospectus, highlighting an expanded off-road network of multi-purpose cycling and walking trails to attract all year-round tourism to the Central West, has been released by the Orange BUG for discussion with government, business, and communities. BUG rides are provided free by local cyclists to new or casual riders in Orange to help people get to know the neighbourhood, meet new people, and explore the regional

tourism opportunities. Rides feature different themes and experiences such as the Orange wetlands, nature rides, historic villages, and local architecture. “Our proposal for ‘Orange Regional Trails’ aims to capitalise on the boom of domestic tourism and champion the unique features of food and wine in our region. We are looking to capture the high-value ‘wallets on wheels’ visitors who are proven to stay longer and spend more in our region.” says Carolynne James, BUG Executive Secretary. “We are scoping off-road trails to relieve the congestion on our roads, but also to function as multi-purpose walking trails that are safer for families and those with accessibility challenges. Trails may pass through reserves

and council easements and directly take tourists to cellar doors and other businesses.” “Think ‘Forage’ all year round," says Peter Rodgers, BUG President. “We believe this proposal is timely to maximise domestic tourism growth catalysed by COVID and establish a ‘wine cycling and walking’ brand for the Central West region for the international market.” The proposal is also supported by Bicycle NSW, the peak bike rider advocacy body in NSW. “With nearly one million bike riders in NSW, scenic regional rides are a huge and growing demand. In other regional areas, these types of cycling trails have brought a huge economic boost for the community,” says Bicycle NSW CEO Alistair Ferguson.

Stuart Town celebrates “best kept train station” birthday Numerous COVID-19-induced delays couldn’t put a stop to the belated 140th birthday celebrations for “the best kept train station” in NSW at Stuart Town.

he Station which opened on June 1, 1880, as “Ironbark Railway” — its name until 1889 — celebrated its anniversary last year, with the commemorations unfortunately put-off until now.

To commemorate the contribution of the railway to the community, a public artwork was commissioned by a division of NSW TrainLink via Orana Arts and awarded to local Stuart Town visual artist and designer, Tim Winters. The commemoration was originally-intended to be part of the coronavirus-cancelled Stuart Town Easter celebrations, and then the October 2020 “Man From Ironbark Festival” that had been organised by the Stuart Town Action Group. Plans included for the railway station to be open with joint celebrations involving the nearby Railway Hotel, now an Arts and Craft Centre, which is also 140-years-old. Unfortunately, the well-planned, exciting

programme did not go-ahead due to COVID-19, and again, despite all the work and effort, could not be held at Easter this year. This year has also rattled and rumbled-on like an old steam-train with the pandemic again rearing its ugly head to throw a spanner in the works. A decision was finally made for a late-June official opening for Tim Winter’s “On the Night Train” which features a wonderful design contribution by Louise Austin. To beat the latest lockdowns, the event was, however, restricted to only a small group of involved locals and railway staff. The NSW TrainLink representative at the event stressed the role that the main western line from Sydney to Dubbo provided for freight, goods, and post with the mail actually hand-sorted on the night train! Although regular train services wound-down during the 1970s and 1980s, the local community successfully lobbied to retain the railway station

because of its heritage and its State significance as a fine example of a Victorian railway station building and one of the best examples of a thirdclass country station building on the NSW Railway system as well as its value to the town with a daily XPT service to Wellington/Dubbo and Orange/ Sydney.

artwork design represented the significance of railway stations as an important meeting place where people, railway lines, and roads meet.

Tim Winters explained that his work incorporated a photo of the old Lamp Room that housed the old kero lanterns to design a “ghost” of the old building.

The group then attended a barbecue held in the park to ensure safety spacing, enjoying the best tasty, edible steak sandwiches from the new Rotary mobile van, with delicious home-cooked cakes to follow.

He sought to also re-interpret the demolished building into a three-dimensional visual expression combining poetry, history, and visual featuring Henry Lawson’s 1922 poem “On the Night Train” conveying the sense of loneliness, darkness, and mystery involved with the Lamp Room and night trains. Friend Ian Marr inscribed the poem into stone at the end of the arched work which tied it all together. Wellington graphic designer Louise Austin’s

Orana Arts contribution was acknowledged with a special Ironbark tree planted by NSW TrainLink employee and Stuart Town resident, Alf Trudgett with the help of local identity, Pam Gough.

“Those involved from sections of NSW RailLink are to be congratulated on recognising this important milestone and co-ordinating with Orana Arts to make it happen,” Pam Gough said. “Those involved at Stuart Town say ‘thank-you’, this is a good town, and we are lucky to have talented people like Tim and Louise in our town or nearby,” Pam concluded.

Once you’re out of lockdown, and if you’re looking for something to do, you may like to visit the Golden Memories Millthorpe Museum. The volunteer-run museum has recently grown their collection, now displaying a Light Horse Trooper uniform on a newly purchased mannequin. In the coming months, they’ll add a few more pieces to help tell the stories of our veterans. The new additions are thanks to a $5,099 Saluting Their Service Commemorative Grant, which I was happy to present to the Millthorpe & District Historical Society last week (pre-lockdown!) In more good news for the museum, the new amenities block is complete! More than $90,000 in federal funding helped to upgrade the facilities, thanks to the Drought Communities Programme Extension.

I was pleased to to recently annouce $5,000 for the Rotary Club of Blayney to help them install a rock climbing wall at the CentrePoint Sports and Leisure Centre. This funding was part of the Stronger Communities Program and I’m sure this rock climbing wall will be very popular and see people reach great heights!

CENSUS NIGHT IS ON THE WAY

In quieter times, the national census is big news! But, over the tumult of the last 18 months, the five-yearly snapshot of our national life is almost upon us; without barely a mention. “Census night” this year is Tuesday, August 10, and Federal Member Andrew Gee, said taking part plays a central role in our national life. “The answers you provide, will paint a detailed picture of who we are and help shape important decisions about how we will live,” he said. “There are few moments in a lifetime when the millions of us, however far apart, are side by side… the final seconds before a new year, the moment before an Aussie competes in an Olympic gold-medal event, and Census night every five years.” He reminded locals that there are some changes to this year’s effort to gather a snapshot of who we are as a people. Census night will be preceded in early August with the sending-out of instructions on how to take part. This year, residents will be able to complete their Census as soon as they receive their instructions, at least for those who will know they will be home on Census night. In previous years, every resident was obliged to fill in their form on the actual date of the census night. “This year, the Census will be a little different. For the first time, you can begin the survey as soon as you receive it — if you know who will be home on Tuesday, August 10.” Mr Gee, who is also the Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel, is excited by one of the new areas to be polled in the 2021 national head-count. “In another first, this year’s Census will ask ‘have you ever served in the Australian Defence Force?’ Currently, we don’t know the exact number of veterans living in Australia.” The answer to this question, he said: “will help the Government provide better support to veterans and their families, so I encourage all serving personnel and veterans across Calare, and across the country, to be counted this Census night” The Census is the largest statistical collection undertaken by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Census data is used by individuals and organisations in public, not-for-profit and private sectors to make decisions that better target investments, create jobs, plan for services, expand service provision and much more. Data collected in the Census underpins decisions on allocating billions of dollars of Commonwealth Government funding to States, Territories and local governments. It is critical to setting Federal, State and Territory electoral boundaries and informs decisions about schools, childcare centres, roads, healthcare facilities, senior centres and other critical infrastructure. The Census collects information on demographic characteristics such as age and sex, types of housing, and on other topics such as education, participation in the labour force, occupations and industries, marital status, and family size. The range of topics means that any topic can be examined in conjunction with other related topics. While some of the Census topics are covered by other data sources, only the Census can provide information on a standard basis for the whole country, as well as for smaller geographic areas and small population groups. Data from the 2021 Census will be released in three phases from June 2022, with more depth added to the data across each release. For more information, go to: www.census.abs.gov.au/

YOUR LOCAL

COUNCIL AT WORK a message from Mayor Regg Kidd

Take a drive out to the

BLOOMFIELD CAMPUS This map shows the location of the proposed new sports complex alongside the Jack Brabham sports fields at the Bloomfield health campus. You can see that the new precinct is 900 metres from the hospital, and that it’s separated from hospital by a woodland containing many native and exotic trees. You can see that there’s also a huge area of bushland to the east of the Bloomfield Hospital along with the Gosling Creek reserve and Bloomfield Park along Forest Road. It’s sad to see how these potentially beautiful areas of parkland and gardens are deteriorating due to lack of care and spending. These include heritage listed areas. They need our support and protection. This is why the Council wants the area declared a ‘Health Precinct’ by the NSW Government. This would allow future development of medical related activities (and who knows, even another hospital as Orange grows). Importantly, it would also help protect the Heritage listed buildings and grounds for future generations and avoid the possibility of Government selling off parcels of land. It is interesting to look at the ‘hoops’ that Council has had to go through to explore the proposal for the Sporting Precinct on Crown Land. I encourage folk to go out there and drive around the network of internal roads which are all open to the public. If you go there, in particular look at the South East corner where they used some of the land as a golf practice range. There you will see the current state of weed infestation. You can see hawthorn trees, blackberry bushes and other vegetation that’s destroying what was once parkland. In contrast, Council has rejuvenated the Hinton Reserve area on the South Western corner (by tapping into the work of volunteers), and work is continuing on the site opposite Gosling Creek reserve and Bloomfield Park. Weeds have been removed and thousands of natives have been planted.

Who remembers what Gosling Creek was original like? Originally you could not see the water as it was surrounded by pine trees, and engulfed with rubbish and blackberries. Look at it now. On the other side of Forest Road, what’s now the TAFE site was originally part of the Bloomfield Hospital. It was also overrun with rubbish and noxious weeds. But then TAFE got ownership of this land and restored it. What was once a piggery and dumping area for Bloomfield became a native parkland and learning facility. Back on the Sports Precinct, you’ll notice the majority of parking is on the Huntley Road side, and both Forest and Huntley roads link onto the Southern Distributor. This will mean great access to the hospital. The map also shows that the area within the former Gnoo Blas car racing circuit is surrounded to the West, East and South by green open spaces that should not be built out.

www.orange.nsw.gov.au

So, this article is to encourage all those who have opposed the Sports Precinct to go out, and look at the area themselves. If you look closely at the extent of the area, and the broader neighbourhood, I believe you will support Council’s initiative to try and get the government to declare the Bloomfield Hospital ground a ‘Health Precinct’, so that the Heritage-listed buildings and grounds can be maintained for health facilities into the future.

planted over 18,000 native trees since 2014,

While you’re there, take photos of some of the beautiful trees, gardens and parklands before they further deteriorate like the land at the back of the hospital. The Bloomfield Hospital grounds needs the same support and enthusiasm that has so far been given to opposing the Sports Precinct. This new precinct will include landscaping that will improve the area, as it will be properly maintained by Council.

I remember so well the clean-up to that site

It is worth noting Council through its community engagement program has

The Friends of the Botanic Gardens have recently held their annual meeting. I would like to thank this volunteer group that have been involved since the early days of the Gardens. and the removal of blackberries, other weeds and rubbish. Interestingly, there were also many objectors to this area being developed as a Botanic Garden even though it was bequeathed to Council. It seems that you can never win, but look at it now. Often, as a Council we have to make decisions that not everyone will agree with. Orange will progress sustainably.

Be vigilant and seek help if struggling — Chamber “Be alert, not alarmed” was the much-repeated message during the war on terror 20-years-ago. A similar call to remain aware and reactive at all times, has been made to local businesses during the current pandemic sweeping the State by the Orange Business Chamber. “Be Vigilant and Responsive” Chamber President Jack Evans recently summarised as the key message to hard-hit local businesses. “The coming month or two could potentially be the mostdifficult for our businesses since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, so it’s important that business owners and staff remain vigilant when it comes to maintaining compliance with NSW health guidelines,” Mr Evans said. “I also urge all business owners to familiarise themselves with the support that is available from the NSW and Federal governments. This will allow them to be responsive to changing economic conditions and better manage their cash-flow,” he added. Chamber Treasurer and Chartered Accountant, Dan Sutton, said that, knowing what help is available, and accessing it, if needed, will be vital for local small and medium enterprises. “Both the State and Federal Governments have responded to the calls for assistance from business lobby groups and there is now help available.

Acknowledging the tough times currently being faced by operators of all sizes in Orange at present, the Chamber recently announced its finalists for the 2021 Orange Business Awards. “Congratulations to all the Finalists. We look forward to a fantastic night of celebrating our great local business who have thrived through extraordinary times,” Mr Evans said.

who are eligible will proceed to the NSW Regional Awards to compete against their peers from across the region,” Mr Evans said.

Due to sudden Covid-19 restrictions, the recent Finalists night at the Orange Ex Services Club, was an invitation-only event.

“After almost two years of not being able to hold the Awards, it is great to see a return to this great community event,” he added.

Selected businesses from public nominations were invited to attend the announcement as a finalist in the Orange Business Awards.

Sections for this year’s awards include Outstanding Employee (Any Age); Outstanding Young Business Leader; Outstanding Community Group: Excellence In Innovation; Excellence In Hospitality: Excellence In Personal Services: Excellence In Professional Services; and Excellence In Retail.

LEO SAYER

He Is Quirky And He Is Good!

UK, then back to the Southern Highlands in the southern summer for the club touring season.

reason, it suited radio music programmers tastes or needs to break-up styles and sounds.

Somehow, that seems right for a piece about Leo Sayer.

Success he has earned!

When this brilliant Sussex, England born-and-bred singer and songwriter hit the mainstream, I was still aged in single digits, but that does NOT mean I don’t recall first hearing Leo Sayer on the radio.

Anyone who is about to celebrate 50 years in the music industry was probably not gifted much early on.

Back before computers ran that side of commercial radio, humans used to actually think about this stuff!

But to the “now” part first.

They co-wrote a song called “Giving it all away” for Roger Daltrey, who was doing a solo project away from “The Who.”

I want to start now and work backwards, and forwards, and sideways for this column!

I refer in the column title to “Aussie” Leo Sayer.

But Leo Sayer did get a little lucky in meeting another songwriter, David Courtney, in 1973.

Back to the song, it was called “One Man Band,” and if I played it on “The Radio 2EL Jukebox Show,” you’d recognise it! But back to Leo’s hits, and there were plenty to write about.

It was a hit.

1975 also say the song “Moonlighting” make it to number 13, before his biggest hit, “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” went to number two.

Leo Sayer lives in the Southern Highlands and, until COVID-19 ruined the live music industry, it was his base for national and world touring.

He then was the beneficiary of another piece of luck, being the success of the first song brought him under the gaze of manager Adam Faith.

The 70’s were rounded with huge hits “When I Need You,” “How Much Love,” “Thunder In My Heart,” and “Dancing the Night Away.”

Australia holds a special place in his life for a couple of reasons.

It was Faith that almost immediately signed Sayer to deals with Chrysalis records in England and Warner Brothers in the US.

The first part of the 90s was also fertile times for Leo Sayer.

He’s been an Australian citizen since 2009, but lived here for many years before that.

First, it is the home country of his former partner, Donatella Piccinetti.

In Australia his 70’s hits were on the Chrysalis label.

Second, Australia revived his career!

That began with the 1974 song, “The Show Must Go On.”

By the late 90’s, the career of Leo Sayer was not what it had been.

It peaked at seven on the local charts but was a number two in the UK.

It had revived for a while in the early part of that decade, but it had slid back again.

Next was the song that really hooked me, “Long Tall Glasses.”

At that point, he started to tour the RSL and Leagues Club circuit in New South Wales and Queensland.

It was different-enough to stand out on the radio, but too darned catchy to ignore!

From the success of those shows came further touring in Australia and some first tentative steps beyond.

It matched the success of the first single, making number seven in Australia.

Before you could says “You make me feel like dancing,” Leo Sayer was back in demand in the North!

The next release was not a top 40 hit, making 41 on the charts, but it did become what was used the call in radio, a “airplay hit.”

So the pre-COVID years were a schedule of summers in the Northern Hemisphere touring the US, Europe and the

That’s where a song never charted well be for some

It kicked off with the massive hit “More Than I Can Say.” Now my official reference book has it at number three on the Australian charts as a peak, but there were multiple top 40 lists at the time, and ABC’s Countdown, I’m pretty sure, had it at number one for weeks, and weeks, and weeks! I remember it being played at the end of that great show for at least a month. “Have You Ever Been In Love” was the last truly big hit for Leo Sayer in Australia in 1983. It peaked at number four. Yep, it’s a fair list of success, but what it doesn’t tell you is the poor management that left him broke for years! It doesn’t tell you about the health issues that have affected him for most of his career. The term “Champion” is often used in sport, but sometimes it fits a singer and songwriter. Aussie Leo Sayer IS a champion of music.

Second lockdown blues for shopper-free CBD Orange had a silent, return-to-mid-March-2020 feel on the first day of lockdown late last week. Orange Mayor, Reg Kidd offered a Churchillian call-to-arms to defeat the latest outbreak of the coronavirus, officially-known as COVID-19, that had appeared in the Central Tablelands. “We made the decision to lockdown for seven days, so that we could get on top of this… “It’s the Delta Strain, so we put contact tracing into full-swing,” Cr Kidd said in an eerily-empty Robertson Park. The lockdown had the exact same effect on planned anniversary commemorations for the Colour City. It put an historic Council meeting at the OCTEC building, the former Council Chambers, to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Orange as a city, on hold. “We were going to have a tree planting to also celebrate the 75th anniversary,” Cr Kidd said with a touch of sadness. “It was also 175 years since we were established as a village,” he added. Heeding the get-tested call, cars were lined-up at the temporary testing centres at both Wade Park and the private hospital at Bloomfield with thousands of locals having tests that ultimately showed no further infections in the region. “My message is, that Orange has been through worse than this, the Spanish Flu of 100 years ago, World War I, World War II, floods, droughts and fires, and we survived those, and we’ll come out of this as well,” he said. “My advice is don’t panic, don’t listen to the keyboard warriors, we’re all in this together,” Cr Kidd concluded. Local cabbie Rick Burke meanwhile sat in his taxi at the Robertson Park rank with a sense of calm resignation: “It’s quiet as, just like last time... we’ll get no compensation,” he said. Inveterate coffee-shop visitor, Rod Holcombe, had to make do with a home-made instant while he read his

newspaper outside of the post office. “It’s still good to get-outside, to stay healthy. I usually come to town to buy a coffee and read a paper, and its’s such a beautiful day that I thought, ‘I’ll still come in’.” Masked-up and doing a spot of essential shopping, Jeff Sanderson and Brent Anderson, however, had a touch of the lockdown blues. “It’s killing the economy… I think they’re going the wrong way about it. “I worry about the long-term effects. In the end, we’ll just have to get immune to it. Look at the main street? There is no-one anywhere.”

Colour City out of lockdown Orange has passed its second pandemic lockdown in 18 months — with flying colours! Grim fears that the region would be facing a Sydney, or even a Melbourne-style protracted quarantine period — ended following nearexemplary compliance from residents of the Colour City. Earlier this week it was confirmed that Orange, Blayney, and Cabonne Local Government areas were reverting to the same restrictions as the rest of regional NSW. Cessation of the lockdown orders followed a week’s worth of COVID testing with drivethrough line-ups and no new positive cases. More than 10,000 local tests were conducted over the week-long lockdown, representing nearly one-in-five locals with long line-ups the first few days of testing at locations including Wade Park. The lockdown followed a confirmed case of COVID-19 in Cabonne Local Government Area for a person who was active in the community in mid-July. Five locations across Orange were then

identified as exposure sites before health officials and the NSW Government threw Orange, Blayney and Cabonne into a snap, seven-day lockdown.

a public health issue, those business owners have families and employees, and how they are managing through this must be incredibly difficult.”

Orange Mayor Reg Kidd has welcomed the relaxing of the COVID-19 lockdown but has urged residents to remain vigilant.

Cr Kidd said the message to the community was straightforward.

“This is a result of the community knuckling down, following the health orders and the lockdown and staying safe,” Cr Kidd said. “Without that, we would not be here today.” Cr Kidd said that, while the news was good, there were still challenges ahead. “What we have learned over the last 18 months, is that this pandemic will continue to throw-up new challenges,” Cr Kidd said.

“The best thing to do is follow the COVID safe rules, where necessary get tested and if you can, get vaccinated,” the Mayor said. Local State Member Phil Donato earlier said that he’d been advised that sewage testing results for the region had also not found any presence of the COVID-19 infection in the region.

“Continuing to meet those challenges, as we have this lockdown, is our best chance of getting through this.

He added that he was “super-proud” of the efforts of local communities and how they had responded to the testing and compliance regimes.

“I am also thankful that, relaxing the lockdown will bring some relief to business who have had to shut-up shop. While this is predominately

“Let’s get back to pre-lock-down life, in what is easily the best place in our State to live,” Mr Donato said.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

Band-aids & Needles:

Last Saturday I got a band-aid. Normally this is not something worth writing about. But this one is. I did not get this band-aid because I cut my finger – although that occasionally happens. I did not get this band-aid because I fell over a grazed my knee like my kids do. No, I got this band-aid because a received my first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine. I was fortunate to be able to get in quickly due to an opening in the clinic which I am very thankful for. For others, I know that there are sadly large waiting lists. The whole experience was incredibly smooth and straight forward. I had an appointment with my GP who explained the risks involved. After our conversation, he gave me the go ahead. As I arrived at my appointment I cannot really recall what I was feeling. It was all over so quickly. I was in and out in 20 minutes with a sore arm and a small circular band-aid to show what had just happened. In one way it was quite anticlimactic. In another way, it was incredibly momentous. My wife, due to her field of work, was able to receive the Pfizer vaccine a month ago. When she was able to get vaccinated, I felt left out. But I found myself not dwelling on it. I thought that I would just wait for my demographic became eligible for the Pfizer vaccine. The current COVID-19 situation in our state however, changed all this. After

weighing up the risks, I put my hand up for the AstraZeneca. The lockdown we have gone through is a reminder of how volatile we are to this virus. The deaths of young people are a stark reality check for us all that this virus is not some type of the common cold, but a dreadful disease. The vaccines that have been developed are doing what they are supposed to be doing. So I put my hand up. As a recipient of a vaccine, I am thankful for the work that medical researchers have done in developing these. I know I took a leap of faith in getting the AstraZeneca. I know that the preferred vaccine for my age group is the Pfizer. But when given the choice (which so many countries do not have), I chose to take the opportunity and do what is right for the sake of my fellow citizens. Am I worried about the side-effects? Not really. I have been fortunate to dodge the normal one that people have reported. Am I concerned about the likelihood of developing blood clots? No. My GP clearly explained what to look out for. If you are on the fence about whether to get vaccinated, can I challenge you to think about what is stopping you from going ahead with one? Talk to your doctor. They will help you make the right decision. As I removed my band-aid, and as the soreness in my arm faded, I realised that I was part of something. I was joining in the fight to save others. That is something worth getting a needle for.

TIMOTHY’S MENTAL STRUGGLES PROVED TOO GREAT TO BEAR — DAVID DIXON —

Timothy Paul Johnston loved art. Sensitive, creative, and talented, his HSC works were chosen for a travelling exhibition on display in Japan. But a 10-year battle with bipolar disorder saw him take his own life a few week’s ago at his west Orange home. Now facing having to move in the middle of his grief, his pensioner father Kevin’s wish is to spare his son, what he sees as the last indignity of a pauper’s funeral. “He was a handsome boy, he wasn’t introverted or withdrawn… he loved cooking, he was not a gloomy, hide-in-the-corner sort of person. Quite often he’d be happy, he was a soft kid, quiet but sensitive,” Kevin said of his 28-yearold son.

south coast) before coming here four year’s ago.” “It was probably the last year of school… in his HSC. It was a great school in many ways with his art sent-over to Japan for a display. But he began to first show the signs of bi-polar disorder, he suffered from bullies. I had to go the head principal, to go into bat for him. I was at the point of taking legal action at one stage,” Kevin said. Like many lonely, sensitive children, Timothy increasingly-turned to the internet for the interactions that he couldn’t make in normal life. “He suffered terribly from social anxiety, he tried working at IGA, he tried Macca’s and, although highly-intelligent, he simply couldn’t handle even that.

He said that it was Timothy’s HSC year, often a time of worry, promise, stress, and hope for so many young people, that he first noticed the demons that increasingly-haunted his son.

“He’d come home from school’ he’d do what he had to do, and then he’d spend the rest of his time in his room playing computer games,” Kevin explained. “What do they say? ‘Their room is their fortress’.”

“He went to school in Tumbarumba (southern NSW), then we moved to Batemans Bay (on the

having a heart attack, but of course, it was just his anxiety.”

“What brought us to Orange was, it was such a pretty, nice place, with its autumn leaves and change of seasons.

Kevin said that problems with both the heating and shower and the likely-sale of their rental property, he believes, only exacerbated his son’s already-fragile state.

“I also knew it was a great place for mental health services with groups such as LikeMind, Headspace, the Curran Centre, he had some really good doctors,” Kevin said. However, the complex cluster of conditions that Timothy suffered from, Kevin explained, made treatment and help a difficult task. “When someone’s got bi-polar and ADHD (Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), it takes a long-time to get diagnosed. Timothy would have to concentrate so hard to do simple things — to do his teeth, have a shower, make his bed — would take huge amounts of concentration,” Kevin said. “He was also spending way too much time on ‘Dr Google’ (online self-diagnosis), four times we went to emergency where he was sure he was

“Winter, the lockdown, we were told to pack-up and get-out because the place is being sold, people coming through to inspect the house… now I’m trying to pack boxes while I’m grieving… it took me days to walk into his room,” he said. “The police have been wonderful, they’ve come around a couple of times to make sure that I’m okay, which I really appreciate,” Kevin said. The father said that his aim now, is simply to be able to afford a decent burial for his son in a nice plot at Orange Cemetery. “We don’t want him to have a pauper’s grave and we don’t want to cremate him, we only want a place where we can mourn and we can visit him; where his mother and I can place flowers,” Kevin concluded.

INLAND OFFERS THE BEST BLINDS AND SHUTTERS ON THE MARKET Hans and Jackie Reinhardt came to Millthorpe 20-years ago with one simple aim — to make the best venetian blinds on the market.

wo decades on, “Inland Blinds & Shutters” is still operating from the old mill factory from which the scenic village derives its name, with shop outlets now in Orange and Bathurst. “We came to Millthorpe from Sydney to start a factory producing timber venetian and plantation timber components from Western Red Cedar which we imported from Canada,” Hans explained. “These parts were wholesaled to blind and shutter manufacturers, mainly in Sydney,” he said, adding that the lure of the retail market soon enticed their interest. “About 2004, we decided to go into retailing finished timber blinds using the trading name ‘The Wood Blinds Factory’ with a showroom and

factory in Millthorpe. “Some-time later, we opened a retail shop and showroom in Adelaide but found the constant travel to keep that business supplied with stock and the management of it, too taxing for us and closed that business, opening a showroom in Bathurst instead. A little bit closer to home this time.” Hans then explained that about this time, that window fashion tastes changed in this country with the dominant colour for shutters and venetian blinds becoming white rather than natural wood colours. There was also a strong trend towards fabric roller blinds for new homes. “This made some of our cedar products redundant as cedar is far-too-expensive to

paint white and, if the beautiful cedar grain is not appreciated, we had to turn to imported Basswood shutters to stay competitive, as well having to connect with roller blind manufacturers to satisfy customer demand,” Hans said. “The name ‘Woodblind Factory’ started to go against-us at this stage because that was not all we did anymore, so we changed our tradename to ‘Inland Blinds & Shutters’.” Having a presence in Orange and Bathurst became a huge step forward for the company with the distance for clients to visit greatly reduced from these towns with both showrooms becoming busier than they have ever been. “We still manufacture timber venetian blinds to customers specifications, but now we also

have vast experience with plantation shutters which we install in houses of all styles and ages with our very experienced team, all this at prices which we believe are unbeatable in the central west,” Hans added. “If you supply us with the measurements of your windows, you will receive an immediate quote from us including any discounts we have at various times. “We also supply Flex-Fence and wood-grained aluminium shutters to create outdoor shelters. We make these at our Millthorpe factory to your required sizes. Call us on 6366 3699,” Hans concluded. ‘Inland Blinds & Shutters’ showrooms are at 50 Bathurst Road, Orange and 50 Keppel Street, Bathurst.

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

Some time ago, I came across a modest little book of poetry. It had been many years out of print, but written by a quite remarkable woman. She was born in England in 1817, and was educated in England and France while Napoleon was in exile on St Helena. She remembered the troublesome times of the Chartist riots and the Reform Bill and saw the first steam boat launched. Her name was Emily Mary Barton and she was the grandmother of Andrew Barton Paterson. In her poem “Easter Rain on the Bogan” she wrote: “ Now rushing o’er the shelving bank, streams gather in the clay-bound tank. Now every stately forest tree bows as it weeps in ecstasy. And from the creek the torrent’s roar calls deep and hoarse, ‘the drought is o’er’. ‘Tis wildly raining !…Thank God, it’s raining.’ Although these lines were written over 120 years ago, the heartfelt thankfulness is much the same as we feel today when we hear the first drops falling on the parched earth. When Emily Mary Barton composed them in 1896, she had already spent half a century in the Australian bush. She knew the hardships, problems, and dangers of bringing-up nine children on an isolated property after having arrived in Sydney with her family from England in 1839. In 1840, she married Robert Barton whom she had met on the voyage and moved to Boree Nerang, a property about 32 kilometres from Molong. Her sisters also settled in the

Emily Mary Barton BANJO’S GRAN WAS A POET TOO Orange district, one marrying Henry Kater and the other JH Templar, who owned the mill in Narrambla Vale. Emily Mary was indeed a remarkable woman. She had lived in Belgium and France as a child and was fluent in French, Italian and German and, with sufficient knowledge of Greek and Latin, to be able to teach her own and the station children. Life was not uneventful on the isolated property which saw its fair share of bushrangers and other doubtful characters, who sought refuge in the Canobolas mountains. She coped with loneliness during the gold rush of the 1850s, when most of the station hands and her husband were away for considerable lengths of time. She suffered the loss of a child and the long convalescence of her husband when he badly fractured a leg.

In spite of all this, she still loved the bush and said as much in a letter to her sister, Betsy, soon after settling at Boree Nyrang. “ I think you know me too well to suppose I am frightened by the idea of living in a slab hut and doing without many things….I love the country and so does Robert and I can devote myself to happiness better in the smallest, lowliest dwelling where we would feel at home than in the hot dusty confined streets of Sydney.” Twenty four years later, Emily’s daughter, Rose, gave birth to a son in her sisters home at Narrambla, known locally as Templars Mill. The baby was named Andrew Barton and was to become famous as “Banjo Paterson”. When Emily’s beloved husband died of pneumonia in 1863, Emily moved to “Rockend”, a stone cottage on the Parramatta River.

It was here that the young Banjo Paterson lived while he attended Sydney Grammar School and it was in his grandmothers house that he was surrounded by her interests in art, music, and literature. The fact that she was also a poet with a published collection, “Straws on the Stream", may also have had an influence on him. In fact, we can find an echo of Emily Mary’s love of the bush and dislike of the city in one of his more famous poems, “Clancy of the Overflow.” “I am sitting in my dingy little office where a stingy ray of sunshine struggles feebly down between the houses tall, And the fetid air and gritty of the dusty, dirty city Through the open window floating Spreads its foulness over all”. Andrew Barton, known as “Barty” to his family, continued to live at his grandmothers house while he studied law as an articled clerk, and at 21, he qualified for admission to the roll of solicitors. Although he claimed to “sometimes rather fancy that I’d like too change with Clancy”, he spent much of his time in the city while writing evocative poems of the bush. Mrs Ann Bowman, whose mother was Paterson's first cousin, told me an anecdote which illustrates his well known love of horses. When “Barty” was about to leave for the Boer War, his uncle gave him a rather special horse to take with him. Being a young man about town and belonging to, a few very respectable clubs, he knew just where to find something to keep the horses’ feet warm on the voyage. From the austere gentlemen’s club, he borrowed a mat and the horse had a comfortable voyage to Africa.

Cleverman

The anticipated exhibition, Cleverman, is coming to Orange Regional Museum. — SAMUEL RODWELL —

Cleverman goes behind the scenes of the ground-breaking scifi television series of the same name. Exploring First Nations storytelling, language and creativity in production design, costumes, and props. This exhibition invites visitors to listen-first and immerse yourself in a powerful and contemporary expression of origin stories. The exhibition was made by ACMI and ACMI’s First Nations curator Kathrine Clarke (a proud Wotjobaluk woman from the Wimmera) and co-curated by Cleverman concept creator Ryan Griffen and production designer Jacob Nash, in close consultation with a multi-disciplinary Indigenous Advisory Group. Orange City Life had the chance to converse with Museum Manager Mary-Elizabeth Andrews online about the exciting upcoming exhibit.

How did the Cleverman exhibition come about at the museum? Cleverman has been on the Museum’s schedule for some time now. We are very interested in bringing excellent quality exhibitions to Orange to complement our own local history exhibitions. These represent a variety of topics, to offer locals a chance to see diverse exhibitions from top state and national institutions without having to travel to Sydney, Melbourne, or Canberra to see them. Cleverman comes to us from the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in Melbourne – a museum with a great reputation for innovative and engaging exhibitions. We were drawn to this exhibition because it deals with First Nations storytelling in a contemporary context and includes many of props, costumes, and artwork from the Indigenous-led television series.

What will the exhibit be showcasing? What can locals expect to see? The exhibition has a really interesting mix of interactive and

AV components, original props and costumes and artwork. The exhibition explores First Nations storytelling, language and creativity through production design, costumes, and props, and invites visitors to listen-first and immerse themselves in a powerful and contemporary expression of Indigenous origin stories. Including original props, costumes and character designs by WETA Workshop as well as interviews with the cast and crew and original artwork from the comic book series, the exhibition experience maps the making of the television series with stories from Aboriginal dreaming and mythology.

What does it mean to have Cleverman exhibiting in Orange? It’s wonderful to be able to bring this exhibition to Orange. The exhibition should appeal to fans of the series but also stand alone as a celebration of contemporary Indigenous creativity and storytelling.

It’s been a challenge with trying to get this exhibition organised alongside COVID setbacks. Could you please comment about the museum’s dedication in bringing Cleverman to Orange? We were mid-install when the Orange, Blayney and Cabonne Councils were placed on a 7-day stay-at-home order. Due to the changing situation we had already cancelled our opening night event, but we had to put the installation on hold. We’re all looking forward to getting back to it and completing installation so we can open the exhibition to the public – hopefully by the end of next week. We’ve also negotiated a short extension to the exhibition so visitors will have plenty of time to see it. And, of course, while we’re installing there’s always our fabulous local history exhibition, Inherit: old and new histories, which is packed with local objects and stories.

The Council Game

ELECTIONS POSTPONED UNTIL DECEMBER 4

Once again, due to COVID-19, the local government elections have been postponed, this time until Saturday, December 4. This will cause all sorts of issues for all involved and it hasn’t helped us either with our Council Game initiative, we were just getting ready for the run home! So, what to do? It’s still a long way-off, so we’ve decided to make this our last Council Game for the time being. Therefore, we’ll hold-off our last five weeks until just before the election. Our next Game will now appear in our

Thursday, November 4 issue when we’ll include an Open Forum section for readers to contribute as well — something we were going to start next week.

This week’s contributions by the Mock Councillors were submitted before the postponement, but they are all still relevant and topical. In this week’s Game, we’ve also included a letter from former Orange City Life Publisher, Bob Holland. This was intended for the Open Forum next week but, seeing that this won’t be happening, we’ve included it now because it is so timely.

least 25 persons have made submissions during community consultation.

mock mayor

Amanda Spalding The NSW Local Government elections have been postponed for a further three-months to December 4. That means that the current Councillors will be serving for 15 months longer than originally-intended and will cease to be councillors only on December 4. Also, Councillor Reg Kidd will continue as mayor effectively until January 2022, because of changes in the length of time that the vote count will take. The Caretaker Period was due to start on August 6 as councils are expected to assume a “caretaker” role during election periods to ensure that major decisions are not made which would limit the actions of an incoming council. The definition of “major decisions” includes entering into a contract involving expenditure of over $150,000 or determining a “controversial development application” which means, any DA for which at

The NSW Office of Local Government has confirmed that the new Caretaker Period will now be from November 5 to election day, Saturday, December 4. The Local Government Regulation states that the: “caretaker period means the period of four-weeks preceding the date of an ordinary election”. The intensely-worrying issue in all this, is that the new election timetable is expecting a much longer period for counting the votes than normal. The original timetable was the deadline for receiving postal votes being the Monday after polling day. In this case, that would be Monday, December 6 with results declared from December 7 onwards. The new timetable shows the deadline for the return of postal votes, as Friday, December 17 with results being declared progressively from December 21–23 as they are finalised by the election manager. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE, because the period between polling day (December 4) and the declaration of the results, (possibly, December 23) is not a caretaker period and the incumbent mayor remains in sole charge until the new mayor and councillors are declared elected. It may have been understandable to essentially add three-weeks to the period of time before the results

It means that a new Council is not in place until 2022... of the elections are announced when the election was going to be held on September 4 (because of changes to eligibility for postal voting, ivoting and pre-polling were not made until July 9 and, presumably there were concerns over the proportion of counting staff who are fully-vaccinated), but THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IN DECEMBER. It means that a new Council is not in place until 2022. The current mayor will be the sole decision maker from December 4 until December 23; this needs to change.

THE COUNCIL GAME

MOCK COUNCILLOR Greater Good There are a few things in life that are important, and there are other things that aren’t. There are also people who make mountains out of molehills while, others, show a more-measured approach to certain problems. Last week, the good-old CWD ran a story about someone complaining about a bad pothole and, as is so often the case, this opened the floodgates for that group of people who, I said, make mountains out of molehills. For a brief moment, reading the comments on Facebook, you could be forgiven for thinking potholes were more serious than COVID. My point is that, as a community, we need to be more realistic about things like potholes and not let such inevitable things such as potholes after rain, dominate our thinking. There are far greater issues than potholes out-there and expecting any Council to eliminate potholes is like expecting the nation to have zero-emissions by 2050 or zero-COVID cases at some point. Only dropkicks think that is possible. Friends, let’s be more realistic, more understanding, and more balanced, when we bash our Council or, indeed anyone, over things that don’t really matter. I’m conscious I used the term “dropkicks” but could have used a softer expression. I did this intentionally to show how some words can get the hairs on the back of our necks up. That’s how some people use social media and, using such strong words, is hardly respectful to others who hold a different view. Let’s all, myself included, try and do better and be kinder when making our points, and especially over social media.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Frances Kinghorne

to challenges for on-call staff to access the facility in an emergency if there is traffic congestion from a large event being held at the sports stadium.

Back to William Wallace… his goal was to unite the clans to rise-up against the English and win freedom for the Scots.

These are perfectly-reasonable issues to raise, and they deserved respectful responses. Taking personal offence to anyone who doesn’t agree with choosing the Bloomfield site is ridiculous. Talk to them, listen to them, and genuinely attempt to alleviate their concerns.

“Help me. In the name of Christ, help yourselves. Now is our chance. Now. If we join, we can win.”

MOCK COUNCILLOR Melanie McDonell I was all set to provide my insights from this week’s Council meeting but, then of course, lockdown hit! Individuals show what they’re made of during times of adversity, and the people of our amazing city have done just that. The long queues at testing centres around the Central West, are evidence of it. While we weather this storm, we must be mindful of our mental health. Changes to our usual routine not only give us time to slowdown and re-evaluate our lives, but also can sometimes force-us to confront thoughts and feelings we may normally have pushed to one side. Some advice for these times: • Do something every-day that is just for you. Whether it’s listening to your favourite music, reading a book, going for a walk, a run or cycle, meditating, painting or drawing, a board game with your family — something that brings you joy. • Take care of your body. Eat well, resisting the urge, however strong, to “comfort eat” through this. Get enough sleep. Wake-up and get-up at your usual time each morning. • Keep a routine where possible. In times of uncertainty, routine is what helps give us something steady to hold onto. • Look-out for your friends, family, and others in our community. • And of course, wear a mask, wash your hands, socially-distance, and stay home, wherever possible.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Daniel McGregor

There were 847 views of the live-streamed extraordinary council meeting held at the end of June to decide the fate of some trees at the site of the proposed sporting precinct. This is more than five times the usual number. There was also an unusually-high number of speakers — members of the public speaking for and against the choice of site.

With no Council meeting this week because of COVID, I thought I’d talk about leadership, because that’s what representing people is all about.

It was eventually determined that, what is essentially the first stage of the sporting precinct development, would go ahead.

And when it comes to leadership, I think William Wallace in the movie Braveheart (one of my favourite movies), has some useful quotes. One of those is:

If you’re going to ask people to go to the trouble of composing a submission about a proposal, then there is a responsibility to genuinely-consider the points raised. This may not result in a change of site, but may mean that the proposal could be tweaked to accommodate submitted concerns.

“You’re so concerned with squabbling for the scraps from Longshanks’ table, that you’ve missed your God-given right to something better.”

The letter sent by Councillor Hamling to local sporting groups earlier this year spruiking the Bloomfield site, was mostly very logical and reasonable but, those who disagree with the choice of site, have raised some valid points and there are some of these that haven’t really been addressed. 1. The NDR site was purchased specifically for the construction of the sporting precinct. Once the preferred Bloomfield site became available, suddenly the NDR site was deemed unsuitable for a range of reasons. Why was it purchased if it was such an inappropriate site? 2. The medical community at the Orange Health Service, have expressed concerns about patient safety — relating

I think this is so true of Australian society right now. We are missing our opportunity for something better. We have set the bar so low when it comes to what we expect from our leaders that, as long as life seems okay, we’re willing to settle for whatever they serve-up.

We are lucky in that we are not fighting for our freedom, but if we unite, we can win. We can win the best future possible for our great city. My grand vision for Orange is to bring as many community groups as possible together to unite and demand something better for ALL of the people of Orange, not those with the loudest voices. We have so many community-minded people wanting to drive change for the better, let’s make sure they are all being heard. Let’s lift the level of debate amongst our leaders. That’s why we need a more diverse group of councillors who can bring more thought to the issues we need to address for our future.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Steve Peterson This week, I will talk about parenting in Orange. Between the six of us on the “Refresh Orange” Council elections ticket, we have 13 school-aged children, so it’s a topic dear to our hearts. There are many great things about being a parent in Orange. There are a variety of outdoor areas to explore and play, that are easy to access. Orange boasts a huge-range of sporting competitions and facilities. Being a regional centre, there is less traffic snarl and services are closer to home. There are also good medical services compared to other regional centres. Occasionally, we even get snow! However, a wet-winter highlights a lack of indoor entertainment options, especially for older children, exacerbated by recent closures of some great places. Rents and rates contribute to the problem which is something Council can influence. As an out-of-the-square idea, what could Council create themselves, in terms of a playground indoors? Schools in Orange are not distributed evenly and, north Orange in particular, is underdone in that regard. Councils don’t build schools, but they do have townplanning responsibility with consideration for the future. The best advocate for Orange is Orange, so Council should be continually-lobbying other levels of government for what we need, including new schools. I’d love more options for teenagers. There is one crowded skatepark, I think replicating this elsewhere closer to areas with lots of young families, would be ideal. Same idea concerning the BMX track that was removed from near Dudley. Smaller versions elsewhere, one of which is already constructed, would be well-used. I moved to Orange to raise a family and it was a good decision. It’s a great place to grow-up. Council will benefit from inclusion of people with school-aged children who are well-suited to champion issues for Orange’s youth.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Gerald Power

I’d argue, this was perfectly displayed during the recent debate over the Bloomfield sporting precinct. The level of debate between councillors showed a distinct lack of imagination and long-term vision. Rather than drive a genuinely-open conversation about the possibilities before us, our leaders drove division. We can settle for that kind of leadership, or we can demand that our leaders think big and think bold for everyone’s benefit.

Like all small business operators that depend upon tourism, local markets, and catering — the news of the shut-down due to COVID-19 for seven days, was very disappointing!

We’ll likely see the same thing repeated with the debate around the Mount Canobolas mountain biking proposal if the same faces get re-elected.

Within 24 hours, five events were postponed or cancelled for the week including some events rescheduled for 2022.

Thank-You!

THE COUNCIL GAME

Putting politics away at this time, we must join in praising our health workers and public servants in implementing a coordinated approach for COVID-19 testing that has to be recognised and applauded! Including our local media for all their updated information; to all, I say: THANK-YOU! I wish to encourage all business/families in the three Local Government Areas that have been impacted with the latest lockdown, to stay safe so that we, as communities, can get through this together and, hopefully, return to some kind of normality. Positive Notes Water Our water-storage is at full-capacity — this is thanks to the amazing rainfall over many months and due to the sacrifices under Orange Council water restrictions. Closing thoughts I’ve lived in Orange now for 39 years and witnessed our city grow in population, develop, and import industries into our area to sustain and support Orange population growth. But we will continue to require productive, positive architectural thinkers in, not only bricks and mortar, but in social diversity, in key leadership positions to sustain and support Orange into the future!

MOCK COUNCILLOR Lesley Smith The upcoming election is about selecting a diverse group of people who have the ability to lead, inspire, and gain respect, while setting and achieving goals for the community as a whole. Being a leader is not about your job or position: it is about an ability to work with people to achieve an outcome. It is difficult to define exactly what makes a good leader. Sir Gustav Nossal, an Australian community leader, scientist, and former Australian of the Year, defines community leadership as: “…the courage, creativity, and capacity to inspire participation, development, and sustainability for strong communities.” My personal short-list of leadership qualities, reinforced by what I have observed when out-and-about recently, and qualities that I have tried to emulate, include: self-awareness, integrity, courage, confidence, vision,

enthusiasm, innovation, wisdom, adaptability, strong interpersonal skills, effective communication, belief in others, respect, insight, competence, and a sense of humour. My leadership approach has always been based on the premise that, individual development enhances capacity, which probably accounts for my continued belief in education at any level, for any reason. True community leaders inform people of the decisionmaking process and allow their views to be expressed and incorporated into future development and planning. This is real community consultation. There is no place for ego in leadership. This is why I admire all those community groups whose purpose is to contribute to developing and supporting community in a meaningful and practical way while remaining non-political. These include groups such as the CWA, Zonta, and Rotary just to mention a few. You know what? I would feel much safer if these groups were in charge of managing COVID and the vaccination role-out. It would be done quickly, efficiently, and with true community focus and no political overtones. Vote for Lesley Smith for staunch, independent, community leadership.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Pot Stirrer If there’s one thing that the pandemic has taught us, it’s how important good leadership is. Although it has nothing to do with local government, the way Federal and State Governments have handled the pandemic, has clearly-resulted in a dog’s breakfast. Put simply, we have the Federal Government going in one direction, and all the States going in different directions. On top of this, we have been getting mixed and conflicting messages about almost everything, from all directions. We are presently in a position where nobody knows what will happen next. Goodness knows what effect this is having on ever-somany people across our nation. Suddenly, mental health and suicide are the topics on many people’s minds. It’s a debacle by any standards, and it’s anybody’s guess how we get past it. In some respects, I think if we could go back and start again. We should. My point is leadership. Whether at a Federal, State, or Local government level, good and strong leadership

is essential. You can decide whether you think Orange currently has this type of leadership or not, but either way, the December 4 election gives us all a chance to think carefully about who we will give that responsibility to, for the next term. Speaking for myself, I’m hoping a broom goes through our present group of councillors, and that the new group shows good leadership and plays a bigger role in showing how things should be done in our wonderful City.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Eunice Adetifa We are in an unprecedented time. Apart from the doctors and nurses, pathology labs, other hospitals staff, GP receptionists, and other medical services call centres, are at the front-line of this pandemic, changing what they do at a moment’s notice to keep the rest of their teams and community safe. Our respect and recognition for the many hardships of different sectors helping to stop the spread of the virus is well overdue. All medical sectors have learnt to live with the change in recommendations from regulatory bodies and to deal with people who are desperate to know when and how they can be vaccinated and tested against COVID-19. To top it all, we are now in a seven-day lockdown which has left more people anxious, angry, and afraid. Working-together as a community and looking after each other is the main key to overcome this pandemic. We should understand that everyone’s role has changed considerably during the pandemic. We are all taking-on functions and learning new skills no-one planned for. Parents have now become teachers home schooling their children. Parents, who are normally not at home, are now stay-at-home parents. Working from home is now the new norm. Children are adjusting to their new lives at home, and the use of technology in all facets, is now the order-ofthe-day. Hopefully, by the time you read this, we will have been released from lockdown. I have faith that people in Orange will behave safely and responsibly towards each other. Mr. Rogers said it best: “Imagine what our real neighbourhoods would be like, if each of us offered, as a matter of course, just one kind word to another person”. Let’s embrace our communities! Be kind to your neighbours and help one another. | Inspire Kindness |

Hey, Council! Give credit where it’s due!

Council staff and Councillors have always been very good at spinning things the way that suits them, even when good sense suggests a very different story.

contributes to our economy — seems to get pushed under the carpet whenever it suits our Council to do so.

“According to data from Tourism Research Australia, our September last year was one of the busiest on record.

Those who know me, will acknowledge that I have been advocating for a long-time for Orange to undertake an ongoing marketing campaign that encourages people, say within 200km of Orange, to shop and do business here more often.

To make my point further, these comments below appeared in an Orange Council Media Release last week when they announced that next year’s Local Government NSW Destination and Visitor Economy Conference was coming to the area. The words are attributed to Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd:

“An estimated 177,000 visitors stayed in Orange, Blayney and Cabonne for approximately 475,000 nights during that period, up 111% compared to the same period the previous year.” Note: September was one of the busiest on record, up 111 per cent compared to the same period the previous year.

The people I’m referring to, are not locals, but are classed as “day-trippers”; the tourism industry classes people like this as a type of “tourist” or “visitor”. This fact — and the very important and lucrative sector that this group

“Orange was runner-up in the NSW Top Tourism Town Award, announced at this year’s Conference and visitor numbers were the best in NSW after the COVID travel restrictions we lifted in July last year.

Despite this extraordinary result, not one ounce of credit was attributed to the $10,000 worth of TV advertising done by Hearts for Orange during that September, urging people to come to Orange to shop, do business here, or just

visit. Doesn’t that sound suss?

This is just another example of our Council and councillors ignoring people who sometimes might know more than them. It has to change, because, like with this case that involves millions of dollars each year for our local economy, the stakes are very, very high. I hope the next Council is more receptive and more appreciative of people like me who have something worthwhile to contribute and have genuine “Hearts for Orange”. Bob Holland (Creator of the Hearts for Orange marketing initiative)

“PINK FIRST” THEME FOR INNER WHEEL’S CHANGEOVER DINNER Inner Wheel Club recently held their annual Changeover Lunch at Duntryleague in early July. The event saw the handover from the outgoing to the incoming presidents, vice presidents, and junior vice presidents. The event saw a sea of pink at the event on the international theme for this year of “Pink First”, which reflects the “Strong Women, Stronger World” vision of the group. Despite COVID-19, the Orange Club was also pleased to be able to make a sizeable donation to support the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service in Orange. The Club also donated handmade bags filled with toiletries to the newlyopened Orchard House. The offerings show the Orange community how the group helps local service organisations.

HOT MEALS POSTPONED

A sight we all love to see... sent in from Sue Gore

Free hot meals that have been provided on Saturday evenings since May last year at the Orange Uniting Church have become another victim of the COVID-19 lockdowns. Parishioners as well as members of the Fusion youth group and the wider Orange community will review how to operate this essential project as the current situation progresses. Given that the project serves meals to people from throughout the city and district, it has been decided that the risk of bringing 50–100 people together in one place is too-great for customers and volunteers. The groups say that it is very important that they do not play any part in spreading the virus locally or throughout the district. The project came-about following a need that was observed at the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic in early 2020. The project has been supported financially by Newcrest Cadia Valley Operations and Orange City Council and serves up to 160 free hot meals each Saturday. The group, however, will continue to provide frozen meals for people in particular need and ask that they phone the Uniting Church office on 6362 5788 for more information.

THUMBS UP for the next Orange

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVICE

City Council if they look after the things we already have in Orange; the showground, the decommissioned BMX track, Mobil Esso Park in Woodward St. Also, put the sports stadium out at north Orange, not at Bloomfield, that should become a great natural parkland with tables, chairs, barbecues, slides, and games. Revive the rest centre, Banjo Patterson Street March, and Banjo Patterson Country Music festival as well. More toilets are also needed on the edge of town, both east and west, and fix the roads to our entrances. We don’t want to be called “pot-hole city”, instead of The Colour City!

THUMBS UP to people allowed to stay at home.

More and more people in Orange are enjoying the benefits of independent financial advice... should you be one of them? CALL DANIEL ON 0411 484 464 TO BOOK YOUR FREE INITIAL APPOINTMENT OR HEAD TO WEALTHTRAIN.COM.AU

Daniel McGregor (1253135) and Wealth Train (1258202) are authorised representatives of Independent Financial Advice and Education AFSL 520963

Thinking of Painting,

think Up&Down

THUMBS DOWN to the people who continue to do their main grocery shopping on weekends. Keep those days to spend time with family. If you work, ask to have a day-off during the week. And don’t all go to one shop, you may all live close, but it doesn’t mean you have to shop close. THUMBS UP to Angus Gibb for another great piece. This time on not being anxious during COVID because the “Prince of Peace” is with us. THUMBS UP to the Thumbs Up about Isaac, the big, friendly man at the green waste drop-off. He is a champ! THUMBS DOWN to the local person that said I stole $100 from him a year or so ago. How dare you! THUMBS UP to LiveBetter Community Services for arranging a COVID vaccination clinic for vulnerable people, their families, and frontline workers in our community. A double Thumbs Up for extending the invitation beyond their own customer base and people showing true community spirit. THUMBS DOWN to the mask users who don’t dispose of them correctly, but just throw them on the ground for cleaners to pick-up. Also, it is still littering, which is a $250 fine. Please make sure you wash your non-disposable masks too, otherwise it is pointless wearing them. THUMBS UP to Tim Winters and Geoff Tonkin for the seat they have designed and built for the Botanic Gardens. But Thumbs Down to the people who pulled-down the large, high fence and replaced one side of the gate with horse-rails. Does not look good for a special garden. Bring back the large, high fence that looked good for a special garden.

We’re not happy until you are.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council who are going to remove the BMX track in March Street. They say it is not being used because it is a mud track in summer. Fix it so it can be used. Take a look at Bathurst’s good, big one.

THUMBS UP to young Troy from Orange (and all the sensible people who slowed down) who helped get the steer off the road in the dark between Cumnock and Molong on Monday, July 19. Your help was invaluable and very much appreciated by the old woman flapping her arms in the middle of the road trying to slow-down traffic. It was a dangerous situation with black cattle at night. Hit one, of those who don’t slow down, and it could mean injury or death! THUMBS DOWN to toxic parents raising carbon copies of themselves, toxic children.

THUMBS DOWN to the people that walk their dogs along Byng Street opposite the Courthouse and who are too inconsiderate to pick up their dog’s waste! THUMBS UP to everyone that send in the amazing photos of our lovely region. Always a special treat to see. THUMBS UP I would like to place a thumbs up to our local police officers for checking-on passengers arriving off the XPT train and coaches from Sydney in these hard COVID times. Thankyou from the staff at Orange Railway Station. THUMBS UP to mental health ward staff at Orange and Bathurst hospitals after a recent admission, especially the Emergency Department, Mental Health Intensive Care Unit, Lachlan Acute, Panorama, Amaroo, and the O’Brien Centre for your caring, compassionate nature, and hard work in what can be a challenging work environment. Thank-you for looking after me. THUMBS DOWN and THUMBS UP I was recently at a north Orange BP servo paying for my petrol at the same time a truck driver from out-of-town was abusing the staff for being reminded to check-in using the QR code prior to entering. The abusive customer left, and the service station attendants told me, they cop this abuse regularly and it is nearly always from out-of-towners. Well-done to the staff at the service station for handling the situation in a calm and professional manner. COVID is fun for no-one and, an already difficult situation is made worse, by horrible customers. To the staff at BP North Orange, thanks for helping to keep Orange safe, one QR code at a time!

THUMBS UP to Keegan for great customer service.

THUMBS UP to the fine blokes at Barber Industries who didn’t charge for fixing my son’s hair after a bad cut elsewhere. Their kindness cheered up a pretty upset kid. THUMBS DOWN to some people who have got no heart. It’s shame on those who stole the money off the boy saving all his cans and bottles to raise money for cancer. Be strong young boy, don’t give-up, and your luck will return. THUMBS DOWN to the rude women at one government department who want to be treated with respect, but often treat their clients with less of it themselves. THUMBS UP to the RMS; they are wonderful to deal with. THUMBS DOWN to the local jewellery shop that is flouting the restriction rules we are on during the seven-day lockdown. Most of the retail stores are shut, except for the big ones like Big W and Woolworths and Coles that are essential. Jewellery shops are not essential. I’m pretty sure you can wait seven days without business. THUMBS UP to the gentleman who was directing traffic at the Wade Park Covid testing site in the morning on Wednesday 21st July. He showed such patience and was in good spirits despite having to manage the long queue of cars. Thank you! THUMBS UP to Smoking Brothers Elwoods Eatery for their act of goodwill during tough times. If only there were more people like you.
