The shops are still quiet with many retailers reporting subdued trading as we wait to turn-the-corner on our latest outbreaks. It’s still three more weeks until the first days of spring, and it is often the last weeks of winter that many of us start to feel we need a holiday. On that topic, one of the enterprising Council candidates for the December local government poll, has proposed that locals, rather than lamenting the lack of travel opportunities, enjoy what our own region has to offer with a fantastic “staycation”.

Talkative Toby

Young orator’s winning words

EMULATING GOUGH’S GIFT OF THE GAB — DAVID DIXON —

Power of the spoken word is one of humanity’s greatest accomplishments.

ing Hal’s rousing “band of brothers” speech in Shakespeare’s Henry V; Abraham Lincoln’s moving Gettysburg address; Winston Churchill’s combative “we shall never surrender” oration in World War II — all attest to the power of language to stir and inspire us.

Young Kinross Wolaroi student, Toby Gough, could one day also be mentioned in the same light.

Toby has a list of speaking accomplishments that it would take an article in itself to list (see attached), but, his most amazing achievement, is understanding the central value of language to our culture and society. At a time when the importance and currency of language is being daily-eroded by social media hacks, the semi-literate rhymes of popular music, Gogglebox, and grunting CGI-ied heroes in our popular movies, Toby loves language and, particularly, the spoken word. “I really do enjoy everything about it, especially being on-stage… the power to move, to sway people, with how one speaks,” he explained. “I love how, when you’re speaking to other people, you are able to convey your thoughts and people will listen, and you can even move and convince them,” he said. With most people listing “public speaking” as one of their greatest fears, Toby does admit to the odd flutters in the stomach before a major speaking event. “I do suffer a little from nervousness to be honest. No matter how long I’ve been doing this, you still get nervous. 4 AUGUST 12—18, 2021

“But I enjoy it thoroughly, speaking in public is a power that people become addicted to… the ability to convince people with your eloquence and ideas,” he added. With an appreciation of the power of language, Toby wonders at how new media and technologies will impact our abilities to corral and express complex ideas in a world of instant texting, emojis, and 120-word tweets “I’d say so, most people commonly get their information from online texts, from posts and the like, which are not as well-considered as they could be. Lots of people are communicating through technology, not communicating through speaking and conversation.” he said. “But it’s a great skill to have, even in day-to-day life,” he said. “A lot of people take for granted the importance of speech, the way I can never, ever understand.” His fascination with the spoken word extends even to his home-life where he admits to being a bit of a chatterbox: “Around the home, anywhere, I don’t stop talking.” His mother Michelle agreed, saying that words came-easily to her son from the earliest age. “He has always been a bit of a wordsmith, from when he was a tiny kid, from when he was five, he would dress-up and do play-acting,” she said, with Toby revealing, ironically that Batman, no great talker himself, was his favourite super-hero. Taking the opportunity offered in kindergarten to get-involved in the Encore Speech and Drama group, Toby has never looked-back, hoping, eventually, to be a television reporter and commentator.

Toby Gough has been winning so many speaking and oratory awards of late; findin g places for his trophies could soon become a problem at the family home! Recent speaking events included, competing in 25 sections for Speec h and Drama at the Orange Eisteddfo d including poetry, public speaking, mime , sight readings and impromptu, Shakespear ean, and Australian monologues. Here Toby won the Senior Speec h and Drama $500 Scho larship, the Open Banjo Patterson Championsh ip, and the Open Point score Winner. Orange was also Toby’ s hat-trick, after winning the champion ships at Forbes and at Cowra where he wo n the Arts Council Speech and Drama Sc holarship’s $2000; the Senior Speech Champio nship; the Senior Entertainment Cham pionship; the Whitely Award for the Most Pro mising Public Speaker; and the Open Point sco re Winner Toby also recently com peted in the Country Women’s Association ’s (CWA) Central We stern Group competition in Orange being awarded First Place in the Years 9/10 Section for his speech “The Need for a Second Language,” before going-on to rep resent the Central Western Group of the CWA in the CWA Inter-Group Public Sp eaking Competition at Trundle where he wa s also a winner.

...Coincidentally when considering his surname, Toby lists iconic 1970s Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam as a speaker that he admires most...

“I’m interested in broadcast journalism, TV and radio. Something where I have the power to help change something in the world… just to make someone laugh, would also be a great thing.” Coincidentally, when considering his surname, Toby lists iconic 1970s Australian Prime Minister, Gough Whitlam (pictured), as a speaker that he admires most. “He’s one of my very favourite speakers, he was a fantastic orator, even though some of his speeches were written for him, he was still able to so-effectively understand and convey the message he wanted to deliver,” Toby said. Enjoying language in all its forms, his winning Orange Eisteddfod speech involved a poem he wrote about an orphan who finds that, the old lady who recently-died in his apartment block, was actually his birth-mother. “His name was Jim and there were two ladies, Jeanette in 9C and Donna in 9B, and in the end, this little old lady was his Mum,” Toby explained. In our high-technology world, he believes that the ability to communicate one’s thoughts effectively, is now our greatest attribute as humans. “Maybe not always. Not when we were learning to build and create our world, using our hands and our minds, but it is the most vital human resource today, that’s true,” Toby concluded.

Comment AROUND THE REGION

with David Dixon

OCLife

On playing fields of life, sport really does matter I confess — I’m one of those parents who cheer and yell at my son’s football matches.

of course. Sport is the ultimate totallymeaningless endeavour, in that the result is designed to not really change the world in which we live our lives.

I don’t holler at the opposition — other than to compliment a good goal or courageous keeper’s save — only very-rarely to the referee (“come-on, son, that’s a yellow-card”), and only sometimes to my son’s team-mates, “good defence,” “someone to the ball”. Mostly I’m just exhorting, cajoling, pleading, and encouraging, my youngest son to put his best in each week. I know this puts me on the list of “pushy parents”, living-out his own sporting life vicariously through his long-suffering child. Through a quarter-century watching my six sons' junior sport, why I do it, is something I’ve wondered about often.

My children, whenever they’ve been asked by their mother, have either expressed mild annoyance, wry amusement, indifference, weary resignation, and occasional appreciation, at my continued verbal efforts at their sporting endeavours.

Not often you come across camels in the Central West. Sandra captured this great shot whilst driving through Forest Reefs, and thought it was just too good not to share. Thanks Sanda

The Duke of Wellington is supposed to have said, that the Battle of Waterloo, where Napoleon was eventually vanquished, was “won on the playing fields of Eton and Harrow.” Well, maybe, maybe not.

It’s because, I decided the other day with an insight that hit me with the force of revelation, that sport matters. Not in the sense that Queensland’s eight-year winning State of Origin streak was “history-defining”, or that the 1972 Miami Dolphins cemented American Football as the new national sport, or that Shane Warne’s wiles saved Test Cricket from slow-decline and ultimate irrelevancy. None of these things actually matter,

Sport matters, because, in our anodyne, safety-first, socially-aware, and inclusive society, it is one of the last fields where we can test the true-metal of our temperaments and talents against theoretically-equal opponents with everyone playing by the same rules. Sport has unambiguous winners and losers, triumph and sadness, victory and defeat, and consequences, although only artificial, for your actions. It operates in ways that our failing and anaemic schools system no longer does, rewarding effort, hard-work, drive, and ambition, above mediocrity, compliance, conformity, and half-heartedness.

Watching the other parents sipping their lattes and chatting about their work and cars and new extensions and holidays, I’ve often speculated, why do I bother? It’s certainly not because my kids want me to, or that football (soccer) is a sport dear to my heart.

No-one dies, no countries are lost, or economies ruined, or inventions made or gained, on a sports field. That’s why it is, along with the arts and entertainment industries, one of our escapes from the dreary predictability of much of our ordinary lives.

Looking back on my own teenage years, I recall an under 16s rugby league grand final in western Sydney, where our star-player arrived for the game so affected by drugs, he could barely stagger onto the field (this was the 1970s). Despite the valiant efforts of the rest of us, we were soundly-beaten but, amongst my sour disappointment, was another new emotion. It was a clear and almost serene-elation, that we had all done our best and that, this, in life, mattered more than anything else.

“Few drinks with friends”

FOR CITY’S TWIN ANNIVERSARIES

t was not exactly the black-tie ball originally planned by Orange City Council, but “a few drinks with friends” to celebrate twin anniversaries for the Colour City.

Commemoration of Orange being declared a village 175 years ago and a city 75 years ago, was originally to have been celebrated with a swish $70,000 ball. Subsequent criticism of the “elitist” nature, cost, and appropriateness of a grand black-tie formal ball during the COVID-19 pandemic, saw Council scale-back the event to an invitation-only meal, presentation, and drinks

at Orange Ex-Services Club.

village after a Dutch general, Prince William of Orange, that he had served under during the Napoleonic Wars.

The event heard of some of the major dates around which the twin anniversaries were commemorated.

The village though only consisted of seven houses and 28 residents until the discovery of gold at Ophir near Lucknow in 1851 heralded the gold rush that would transform Australia from a small, struggling convict settlement to a bustling, prosperous society.

Orange had originally been named “Blackmans Swamp” after the commander of a convict settlement at Wellington drove his sulky across present-day Orange, naming that area after his Chief Constable, John Blackman. Orange was officially proclaimed a village in November 1846 with the settlement receiving its present name from Surveyor-General, Major Thomas Mitchell naming the

Patience is a virtue for

MEN’S SHED RESTORATION Patience is a virtue, and Orange Men’s Shed has got it in spades!

hich is just as well, because they’ve been waiting for repairs to their headquarters at the old Lucknow School of Arts since an extensive, though hardly-devastating, arson attack, in June 2019. Work is finally underway at the Memorial Hall, but it seems two steps forward, one step back, for the local men’s social and mental health support group. The old, corrugated iron cladding on the outside of the facility was recently removed by contractors for Orange Council, but Men’s Shed President Alan Campbell is not exactly sure why… “They’ve since looked to put the tin back on the

front of the building, but no-one’s talking to us, so we don’t know why,” Alan said with something approaching weary resignation. “In the last three weeks though, it’s gone ahead in leaps and bounds, there’s a lot of timber joints under the floor-boards that had to be replaced, so, by the time we go back-in, it will all be pretty much restored,” he said.

The group are still operating at the former ‘Ward Five’ building at Bloomfield Hospital in south Orange whose availability probably saved the local group from closing. “The fire was deliberately lit… but we we’re so lucky we got this place, it was originally a ward, then a laundry, then it was shut-down for years,” he explained.

Alan said that the local members have been understanding rather than angry about the continuing delays to their return to Lucknow.

“We were very fortunate to get it out at Bloomfield, otherwise we would all have been struggling.”

“We were a bit realistic, one, because it is a Memorial Hall, and two, it has special heritage value, and all that stuff plays a part in how long the restoration would take,” he added.

The local Men’s Shed — part of a unique Australia-wide initiative involving wood-working and carpentry to help the well-being and mental health of older males — has lost some of their

members through the long delays, he added. “We’ve probably lost a third, we’re down from about 75 members to about 50,” he said, adding that the extensive repair work at Lucknow will, eventually, all be for the best. The working-with-wood projects the group offers are not all a hard-slog, socialising, morning teas, and support are just as important. “It’s for woodwork and for any blokes who want to come out and chat,” Alan concluded.

The Orange group meets MondayWednesdays from 9.30–3pm and new members are invited to turn-up at any time. For more information, call 0475 250 779.

YOUR LOCAL Council puts more crews on to fill potholes

COUNCIL AT WORK BRIEFS:

Website development helps businesses attract online customers

— The next Orange City Council meeting will be held on Tuesday August 17, 2021.

Work is under way to attract new customers to CBD businesses through the creation of an online presence. As part of the Future City initiative, Orange City Council engaged digital experts to develop modern and engaging websites for CBD businesses. Council is funding the development of the websites and more than 20 CBD businesses took up the offer of an online presence. The businesses cover a range of industries, including retail, beauty and hospitality. Each businesses will receive a four- to five-page website, with the option to expand to include sales and booking plug-ins at their own expense. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said Spendmapp data showed Orange residents spent $318 million online in the 12 months to May 2021.

Orange City Council has doubled the number of crews to fill wet weather potholes in the city’s streets and rural roads. Four crews used 48 tonnes of cold mix asphalt to fill potholes last week, bringing the total to 117 tonnes of cold mix asphalt used to fill potholes in July. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said it was great to have the wet weather, but unfortunately that meant more potholes. He urged the community to be patient and drive with care. “It’s fantastic to see water still streaming over the wall at Suma Park and that’s happening because the ground is so sodden. No one’s complaining that we’re getting every bit of run-off because the ground is so wet,” Cr Kidd said. “But the reality is that when the ground is so wet, any tiny cracks in a road surface can lead to a pothole. We’re getting on with the work by re-allocating crews to get to as much of this done as we can.” Orange City Council Infrastructure Chair Cr Jeff Whitton said Council crews were prioritising streets with high traffic volumes and high speed, and others with significant water damage. “No one likes to see potholes, but after this much rain they are inevitable,” Cr Whitton said. “We’ve had a good run during a long period of dry weather, but this rain has led to some unavoidable damage to the road surface. The more a car drives over a damaged surface, the quicker a pothole will appear.” “Long term Orange residents know it’s a seasonal thing and that potholes are part-and-parcel of long wet spells. We know that filling a pothole with asphalt and gravel is a short-term band-aid but it’s about making the roads safe.” “Staff are routinely checking the conditions of both city streets and rural roads, and that data drives the priority list for work. There’s also an online form on the Council website, where residents can report the location of a pothole. Crews will get to those reports as soon as they can.”

“This is why it is vital for our local businesses to have a strong online presence, to make it easier for people to find them online and encourage them to keep their money in the Orange economy by shopping locally,” Cr Kidd said. Orange City Council’s Employment and Economic Development Committee Chair Cr Tony Mileto said the businesses tasked with producing the websites were selected through an open quotation process. “This in turn provides a financial boost for these local businesses as well, along with the people they employ, such as content writers and photographers, so there are many flow-on effects for a range of businesses.” Local web development companies Ready Marketing and Out West Online came on board to produce the websites. Ready Marketing, Marketing Manager Tamara Pearson said the businesses were getting a fantastic opportunity. “We’re in the day and age now where if you can’t be found

online and you can’t be found through a Google search people will go elsewhere,” she said. “This allows them a digital presence online with a website and also the full Google integration that comes with each site.” Owner of Eclectic in Anson Street, Kerryn Westgeest, said time and cost were factors in why she had not set up a digital presence until now. “I use social media mostly, and Instagram has been a good platform for me. As a small business owner, this is a great opportunity to take that next step in marketing my business online,” she said. Martine Bullock, owner of Classic Skin and Beauty just down the road in Anson Street, was one business owner keen to expand her online presence with a website. “I’ve been operating here in Orange for 15 years and most of my business has come from word of mouth,” she said. “I also have a Facebook page and I advertise in the Yellow Pages, so this will provide another level of communication and a way to connect with people online,” she said.

FAQs: Q: Can I take my dog out to Gosling Creek? A: Dog owners are being reminded that Gosling Creek is a ‘no-dog-zone’. Residents walking their dogs in south Orange are being encouraged to make use of the leashfree areas at Bloomfield Park and to keep their dogs away from the environmentally sensitive Gosling Creek reserve.

The first of the websites are up and running, with the balance completed by the end of the year.

Tourism figures show Orange is in a good position to bounce back post-COVID While COVID travel restrictions are currently impacting on business through the state, the long-term tourism trends suggest Orange will recover quickly, once higher vaccinations rates take effect and lockdowns are eased. The latest figures from industry research firm, Tourism Solutions, confirm visitor numbers are growing this year, compared to past years. According to the research, Orange hosted 438,000 overnight visitors in the year to March 2021. This was 16% larger than the 2020 figure. Visitors are also staying longer. These visitors stayed an estimated 1.3 million nights, 48% up on the previous year. The average length of stay is up to 3 nights which saw their spending rise to an estimated $309 million in the 12-month period to March 2021. During the same period there were 507,000 day visitors. These results compare favourably with our benchmark group of similar local government areas, which were down 16%. The rest of Central NSW was down 4% over the same period.

“Up until then, regional centres within three or four hours’ drive of Sydney have been making the most of Australians not being able to fly overseas.”

Development Committee chair, Cr Tony Mileto said the health of Orange’s visitor economy was good news for businesses in other sectors.

“Going back a few months, we had every room full and restaurants booked out well in advance. But that came to a halt with the Sydney lockdown.”

Eisteddfod Baby Dance — PHOTOS BY EDITHMAY GOWING | WORDS BY SAMUEL RODWELL —

It’s been a rocky road for Orange Eisteddfod organisers these past few months; having to deal with the pandemic challenges and obstacles to try and ensure the show can go on safely for 2021. The recent lockdowns locally, across the State, and interstate, have had a ripple effect upon the planning and commencement for the Eisteddfod. Dance Coordinator Carol Smithers said, “We had to change our adjudicator because they’re now in lockdown. We’ve had to change the adjudicators several times throughout the planning stage for this year.” “It’s felt like I’ve been putting out so many spot-fires for months, but we’re getting through it all and making it happen regardless.” With the speech and drama competitions already held, and now the dance sections underway conducted over the next few weeks, music will follow suit. The Baby dance section was held first this year for the five years and under groups from around the local area. There were class groups from Dance HQ of Orange, Colour City Dance, and Emdance from Blayney. “The kids and adults who are involved in the dance,

drama, music, and speech – just want to be able to perform. This is what they love, they’re performers, that’s what they want to do.” “Everyone just wants to be able to perform. It’s been hard for the people in arts and events since COVID began. So, it’s great we’ve been able to return for them.” This has involved operating within COVID-19 restrictions with limited audiences and strict arrival and exiting strategies. “There’s nothing really different, except for everyone has to wear masks and QR Code on their way in, and you can only have a certain amount of people in different areas,” Carol said. “Orange City Council and Orange Civic Theatre staff have been just amazing with helping us get this up and going again. Just running with us all the time, trying to help us run events. I would really like to thank them for their input and support during these challenging times.” “I have an amazing committee too, who all do their part and help whenever things have been changing these past few months. So, I would like to say 'thank-you' so much for all their efforts and contributions in making it happen,” Carol concluded.

ORANGE TOURISM TO BOUNCE BACK

MAKE COLOUR CITY YOUR

“staycation sweet spot” Locals feeling trapped by the continuing COVID-19 lockdowns; should look to spend their savings and refunds from cancelled travel on Colour City “staycations”, a local hospitality expert said.

“Trips-away have become a ‘Delta casualty’; why not use your refunds to have a staycation in Orange? It’s a win both ways,” Lesley Smith, who is also an Orange Council candidate for December’s Local Government elections, said.

fun during these extraordinary times, she said.

This plan would have two immediate and direct benefits to the community and residents of Orange, she added.

“Why not enjoy staying at home as a tourist, or at least an enthusiastic consumer?”

“This would lift local gloom over our inability to travel and the continuing uncertainty over the lockdowns, as well as provide hard-hit Orange businesses with much-needed consumerspending,” the former restaurateur and TAFE hospitality teacher, explained. Seeking to turn necessity into a virtue, we should be looking closer to home for our holiday

“Domestic tourism in Orange generates about $100 million a year. Income which benefits all of the community; discover what it is about our region which attracts visitors.

Ms Smith argued that, as many of our business are locally and family-owned, they need our support while NSW is in lockdown; now, more than ever. Ms Smith recently put her money where her mouth is, enjoying a “wonderful” long-weekend in the region with fine local dining, wining, history, and heritage. “We had money left-over from our travel

refunds, and this staycation gave us a new appreciation of why Orange Region really is a ‘sweet-spot’ destination.” She urges everyone “to consider being a “tourist” in the place we call home, enjoy what we have to offer don’t leave it all up to out-of-town guests, as we enter another period of pandemic recovery. Staycations, she said, also help us to do our bit to reduce carbon emissions while supporting the local economy. “Staycations also limit our carbon footprint and help-us feel good about making a contribution to the economy and the environment at the same time, while enjoying yourself!” Lesley said.

Orange tourism is weathering the pandemic well. While COVID travel restrictions are currently impacting on business through the State, the long-term tourism trends suggest Orange will recover quickly, once higher vaccinations rates take effect and lockdowns are eased. The latest figures from industry research firm, Tourism Solutions, confirm visitor numbers are growing this year, compared to past years. According to the research, Orange hosted 438,000 overnight visitors in the year to March 2021. This was 16 per cent higher than the 2020 figure. Visitors are also staying longer. These visitors stayed an estimated 1.3 million nights, 48 per cent up on the previous year. The average length of stay is up to three nights, which saw their spending rise to an estimated $309 million in the 12-month period to March. During the same period, there were 507,000 day visitors. These results compare favourably with our benchmark group of similar local government areas, which were down 16 per cent. The data also indicates a healthy trend, noting that the three months to March 2021, were the third consecutive quarter with over 100,000 visitors (126,000).

One of my most cherished times of all was on the lounge with the eldest (then between 10 and 14) as we watched the Wallabies take on the All Blacks, England, South Africa, France and the rest.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

Distraction:

The past sixteen days of the Tokyo Olympics have been a welcomed distraction. For many of us, we have enjoyed being able to switch off our minds from the current pressures and get caught up in the spectacle of sport at the highest level. Tuning into swimming finals, rather than the latest government update at 11am has brought a welcomed relief for many. With the Olympics now over, where are we going to find the welcomed distractions that we all long for? Maybe the distractions will come in the form of a casual stroll around the block as the sun pokes through the clouds. Maybe the distraction will come from the incessant ‘pings’ from our devices that alert us to the latest post, like, comment, tweet, photo, text or email. But by talking about distractions, in whatever form they take, we must ask the question: what are we being distracted from? What is it that we are trying to ignore? What is it that we are trying to stifle as we let our minds be taken captive by the latest distraction? We could answer this question in many ways. We want to distract ourselves from the tasks at hand because we are not finding fulfillment in our job. This drives us to easy distractions because we are longing to be doing something different. We want to distract ourselves from the pressures of family life. We do this because of the constant sleep deprivation, and we just need a break. We distract ourselves from

those niggling thoughts about life. We

distract ourselves from exploring meaning and the reasons of why we do what we

do. So instead of letting yourself be taken captive by the distractions in our world,

why not lean into the pursuit of meaning. Pursue what it means to be you. Think

about who you are and your life. Ask the questions about where you are going

and what you are doing. Take the time to

reflect on who you are. Be still. Look around you and appreciate the beauty in this

world. In Psalm 46:10, the writer says this: Be still and know that I am God. It is through slowing down, ignoring the distractions

and letting yourself be still that you start

to see things that you may not have seen

before. So will you be still? Will you fight the distractions to take the time to think and reflect? You may be surprised by what

you discover. You may discover that the

ideas of faith are not so foreign than you

may have first realised. As these thoughts

rise from within you, pursue them. Take the time to be still and know what it means

to know God. And how do we know God? Jesus says this in John 14:6: I am the

way, and the truth, and the life. No one

comes to the Father, except through me. That is where we find true meaning as

we become still and acknowledge and

know that God is there. So in a world of

distractions, take the time to be still. You

may be surprised at what happens as a result.

BATHURST MRI – JUST THE FACTS! I want to set the record straight about Bathurst Hospital’s MRI scanner. I understand there is a lot of confusion and misinformation out there about exactly what an MRI Licence at Bathurst Hospital will mean for patients and our community. I want to assure the community that Bathurst will not miss out on MRI services. I hope this will answer any questions you may have.

National Health Reform Agreement (NHRA), between the Australian and State governments.

Do I support an MRI scanner for Bathurst Hospital?

When applications were opened for an MRI licence, the hospital made a submission which was subsequently granted. The process involved a competitive public application that required approvals, including for the location of the MRI.

Yes, absolutely. I fully support Bathurst Hospital installing an MRI scanner to allow patients to have access to vital scans that benefit the delivery of medical care for patients and outpatients.

Why does Orange Hospital have an MRI licence? Orange Hospital installed an MRI scanner about 10 years ago without a licence and provided patients with free scans, for about a year.

Bathurst Hospital can follow the same process when a similar round is opened. I fully support Bathurst Hospital’s efforts to secure an MRI licence, and will back it 100% - just as I did for Lithgow.

What is an MRI licence? MRI licences are granted by the Australian Government. MRI scanners with a full licence attract a Medicare rebate on all MRI services listed on the Medicare Benefits Schedule. Decisions regarding the location of public imaging facilities, including at Bathurst Hospital, are made by the NSW Government. Do I support Bathurst Hospital’s bid to have an MRI licence? Yes, absolutely. Bathurst Hospital has my full support for an MRI licence. I want the Bathurst community to have access to firstclass healthcare and treatments for patients. How do you get a licence? The Australian Government grants licences by opening up applications. It’s competitive and a lot of work goes into making the application. The last round was in 2018. Why hasn’t Bathurst Hospital got a licence? Bathurst Hospital has never applied for one. Orange Hospital bought its machine about 10 years ago. Does Bathurst Hospital need an MRI licence to give free scans to patients? No. The Federal Health Minister’s office has advised that public patients and outpatients will be able to have a scan at no cost, FOR FREE. The scans are funded by Australian taxpayers, under the

Why does the NSW Government want Bathurst Hospital to have an MRI licence? Basically, it’s cheaper for the NSW Government to have an MRI machine that runs like a business and makes a profit. If you want your MRI service to run like a business, you need a licence. It means non-patients of the hospital can use the machine. As stated in the National Health Reform Agreement (NHRA), Bathurst Hospital does not need a licence to allow patients to have a scan free of charge. Orange Hospital now has a private company staffing its machine. What do I do if I’m not a patient at Bathurst Hospital? Once Bathurst Hospital installs a machine, and until it gets a licence, patients at the hospital can get a free scan and non-patients of the hospital can get a Medicare funded MRI scan at PRP in Bentinck Street. PRP has a MRI machine in Bathurst and a full Medicare licence.

I will always back our communities in securing better medical services, no matter where they are located. I’m backing Bathurst in this one! Please call my office on (02) 6361 7138 if you have any questions.

CBA BANKING DISGRACE Less than two months after the Commonwealth Bank closed branches in Molong and Blayney, the bank has again betrayed the trust of loyal customers in the bush. No stranger to adding insult to injury, CommBank will be cutting service hours in half at 90 regional branches across the country. In Calare, branches in Oberon, Wellington, and Gulgong will be forced to shut their doors at 1pm each day. The actions of the banks, by closing branches left right and centre, and slashing hours, clearly does not match their glossy advertising saying

they’ll stick by our communities through thick and thin. This week in Parliament I’m pushing for an inquiry into regional banking services. This will shine a light on the issue and hopefully get some laws passed to reduce the devastating effects that these closures are having on our regional communities. The banks think that no one cares. The banks think that no one is watching. I’m not going to let this rest.

BATTLE AT FROMELLES PART 3:

OVER THE PARAPETS and into the Killzone — SAMUEL RODWELL —

19th July 1916. Wednesday evening, nearing 5pm.

After enduring long-hours of a continuing heavy artillery barrage and machine guns firing from both sides, the Australian and British troops prepared for their charge to take the German’s trenches. Unbeknownst to the awaiting first waves of Allied soldiers, these next few moments will be their last, as the crucial objectives set to pave the way for their attack, aren’t achieved. Deadly obstacles, such as the German’s Sugarloaf salient and its devastatingly-effective machine gun crews, are still operational and the enemy’s barbed-wire entanglement defences are, for the most part, intact. Receiving warnings from Allied observers about the enemy’s unbroken defences afront his Brigade’s position, Brigadier General Harold “Pompey” Elliott’s pre-emptive fears of the battle are beginning to solidify into reality.

to destroy the standing defences in time before the infantry commences their charge across "no man’s land", it is ultimately too late… As the Australian and British troops anxiously stand-by for the charge that they’ve been preparing for the last six hours, many men peeked over the top of the parapets to see what’s awaiting them. This view was detailed in the following recollection from an unnamed officer of the 14th Brigade: “The first thing that struck you, was that the shells were bursting everywhere, mostly high-explosive. You would see machine guns knocking bits off the trees in front of the reserve line and sparking against the wire... When men looked over the top, they saw no man’s land leaping-up everywhere in showers of dust and sand... rather confirming our fears that the Germans knew something.”

Before the Australians made their push into Horrifyingly for Elliott’s troops, it’s identified no man’s land, British troops had already that three emplacements of German machine begun leaving the relative safety of the Allied gun crews have been left unscathed from the barrage and are intact overlooking his position. trenches via Sally Ports. These small, narrow doorways have gone on to be considered Despite ordering Allied bombardment to death traps and the worst method for soldiers exiting trenches under fire. readjust their targets on the German line

18 AUGUST 12—18, 2021

This is due to the design of the Sally Ports and the congested stream of charging British troops funneling-out towards the German, making them ideal targets for enemy machine gunners. Immediately, the British were cut-down by a rain of bullets as they tried to fan-out from their trenches. Bodies quickly piled-up and around the Sally Port exits in what was an absolute slaughter that the Australians witnessed from their starting-points. What follows is described as “the fog of war”, where military planning and orders being sent-out through the ranks are overtaken by the chaos and brutality of warfare. This term derives from the dilapidation of communications and lack of accurate, clear intelligence during the heat of battle, resulting in confusion and uncertainty among fighting soldiers and the coordinating superior officers orchestrating the troops. The term “fog” also describes what the men on the frontlines were subjectively-experiencing. Escalating Brigadier General Elliott’s dilemma further was the fact that an amount of his fighting force was not in position due to congestion in several trenches behind their frontline and had, therefore become stuck.

s Drainage trench, German Second Line

Left with no other option, Elliott’s men had to climb-up out of the congested trenches and over into open ground to reach their starting-point. Enemy machine gunners and artillery targetted them as they traversed towards the front. Firing relentlessly, they evaded incoming fire, as they jumped back into the trenches, their starting-point. It would be another anxious 40-minutes for the troops standing by, until the order is given for the Australian’s first wave to attack, “Alright men, hold the line… over the bags.”

Regardless of the immediate decimation inflicted on the first-wave of infantry, their line kept pushing-on towards the German trenches, inching their way closer and closer towards their ordered objective.

s Men of the 53rd Battalion just before the attack at Fromelles.

Thousands of bullets from both opposing sides zipped through the air, hitting bodies, earth, defences. Whistling shells echoed from afar and growing nearer, exploding with deafening, deadly effect.

As the Australian’s climb out over the parapets, this would signify their first engagement of war on the Western Front, however, little would they know it would become the bloodiest and costliest in our military history.

Countless more Australian and British troops fell down lifeless on the battlefield and, yet the line continued relentlessly. Where groups of soldiers were cut-down in a blink of an eye, more followed suit. Shells impacted near and atop of advancing troops, in an eruption of light, earth and shrapnel… the men were blown to pieces or simply vaporised by the sheer force of the explosions.

The infantry attack charged straight into a blistering storm of enemy machine-gun fire and artillery shelling. On the advance, countless men fell like dominos, one after the other, across no man’s land; either killed or wounded.

About 20 minutes into the battle, the Allied troops began breaching the German frontline. Despite the magnitude of their losses, it was difficult to imagine a sense of progress for the British and Australians.

MEDIAN STRIP TO MAKE LORDS PLACE MORE “WALKABLE” Pandemic lockdowns; constant rain; freezing weather; and yet construction of the Lords Place rebuild continues apace.

Major work includes construction of a new median strip between Summer and Byng streets as part of Orange Council’s Future City project to make the central business district more pedestrian-friendly.

kerb and guttering on both sides of the street completed, and new footpaths on both sides of the street in the process of being finalised. “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.

The traffic island is designed to provide better connections for people walking from Summer Street to Robertson Park and the Civic Precinct with the aim of Orange becoming a more “walkable” city.

“A pedestrian crossing will be installed halfway along the block, outside 241 Lords Place.

Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said that, installation of the median strip, was the next step in upgrades to this block of Lords Place, with new

“Once complete, the wider median strip will be the centrepiece of this street, with plantings of shrubs and trees,” Cr Kidd added.

New delivery of Ringers Western in store now...

There has periodically been little or parking on the western side of the block as the work has progressed with new driveways and entrances put in place. Drivers though have managed to find the odd-spot between the contractors’ vehicles, earth-moving equipment, and trucks that have been working on the project. Work is soon to start on a similar rebuild of Lords Place between Summer and Kite streets with this work also to be based on the Future City framework adopted by Council last year following a significant consultation process with the community and urban designers, SJB.

TRADES AND SERVICE BUSINESS PROFILE

DEB AND BARRY’S HELPING HAND — INDOOR AND OUT Barry and Debbie Eltham like helping people out.

The husband-and-wife team provide a unique indoor and outdoor cleaning service for locals in the Colour City. Their business follows what used to be called a “traditional” division of labour, Debbie is mistress of this inside, Barry master of the outdoor duties. “I can do rubbish removal, handyman, lawn-mowing, gardening and pruning, gutter cleaning, painting… any odd-jobs you want done… Debbie does a fantastic job inside,” Barry explained.

“It was when the grass stopped growing, that I decided I needed to diversify… now Debbie does the domestic cleaning for many of her older clients, while I do the outsides,” he said. Success of their team has meant that Debbie, who has to rush-off to a job during our interview, remains flat-out for much of the year. “Debbie, because she is working indoors which is not affected by the weather, is flat-out a lot of the time,” Barry said.

“She does domestic cleaning, we don’t do commercial or industrial, just houses and the like,”” Barry added.

The two enjoy the beneficial nature of the work and the difference they make to people’s lives and comfort.

Having run a lawn-mowing business for a number of years, Barry decided to spread his wings to cover the quiet times during the Central Tablelands winters.

“We’ve been doing this for almost four years, we like helping people. We both get quite attached to people and always try and do the best job we can,”

Barry explained. “My Dad always told me, ‘a job worth doing, is worth doing well’, that’s my work ethic. I like gardening and fixing things and I don’t mind a bit of hard-work,” he added. With their slogan “A Great job for a Great Price,” Debbie and Barry say, give them a call for a quote for any job, no matter its size or scope. Enjoying the great outdoors, Barry believes that variety is ultimately the spice of life: “That’s why I enjoy my work, the variety. You are always doing something different every day,” Barry concluded.

simple! What I don’t understand, is why more financial advisers are not independent? I’m an independent financial adviser for the simple reason that, if I was seeking financial advice for myself, I’d want it to be independent.

For over twenty years, it has been illegal for financial advisers to use the term ‘independent’ to describe themselves unless they met strict requirements under the law. However, things have gone a step further with financial advisers now required by law to tell their clients (or prospective clients) if they are NOT independent. This makes it crystal-clear for people going forward to ascertain whether the person they are speaking to is genuinely independent or not. Why is this important? Only two per cent of advisers and advice firms are ‘independent’ under section923A of the Corporations Act, meaning most financial advisers are subject to the new Financial Services Guides (FSG) disclosure obligations that commenced on 1 July, 2021. Advisers qualify as “independent” if they or their Australian financial

The Outboard Motor

rederick and Charles were excited. The twin brothers, tall, fair haired and of slim build, had just arrived at the family holiday home on the Victorian south coast for the summer break, after another hard year at Uni. Their father, the Managing Director of a family Company started by their grandfather in the 1920’s, told them that both he and their mother would not be able to get away until January. This did not fit with the impatience of youth so many promises were made to father, that they would behave and act responsibly if he granted them permission to go ahead and get a tan before Christmas. The day was not too hot. The water beckoned, so they could not wait to get changed and get their boat out onto the lagoon. They threw their cases onto the beds, ripped them open and rummaged through for their swimming togs leaving the rest of what they brought scattered. The boatshed door was then flung open and the boat hurriedly dragged to the water’s edge where Charles then brought out the outboard motor. The outboard motor was a little single cylinder “British” Seagull brand and as Charles was screwing up the clamps attaching it to the boat Frederick was loading the fishing gear onboard and generally distracting Charles with some silly antics.

BY BRUCE MARTIN horsing around rocking the boat until they ended up capsizing it. Being strong swimmers they managed to get the craft into more shallow water where they were able to right it and clamber back in over the stern, but horror of horrors the outboard motor had gone to the bottom. “That’s your fault Chas!! You didn’t clamp the motor up tight enough!” “Don’t look at me Fred I did tighten it up!” “You couldn’t have! But if we don’t get that motor up quick smart we are in diabolical with Dad.” The boys then started duck diving to try and retrieve the motor but they could not find it and it was a stretch to reach the bottom anyway. They tried and tried without success so they were faced with the frightening realization that they would have to tell their father. “Your older than me Charles so you can ring him.” “ONLY by twenty minutes, and anyway your studies at Uni should fit you to break the news to father.” “Count me out. My studies do not fit me for getting an atomic blast when he finds out what happened. You have to tell him Charles!” The boys walked to a phone box on the edge of the village and Charles, with knees knocking, rang their father and explained what happened. He then held the phone out away from his ear while father roared, telling them that he knew that they could not be trusted. He wouldn’t be swayed by their mother in future, and that they better get that motor up from where it is lying or that will be the last time he

will trust them to act responsibly, and what’s more they will pay for it out of their allowance. Charles turned to Frederick and said. “I think that we had better have another go at getting that motor up. I don’t know what a new motor will cost but I think that it will hit our allowance hard.” Back they went and after about an hour, and with bursting lungs, Frederick felt a part of the motor in the silt on the bottom and was able to get it up to the surface. What a relief! “We must tell father and get us back in the good books!” said Frederick as they headed for the lone phone box. Charles rang and the conversation went something like this. “Hello father it’s Charles!” “Oh! Charles! I was sending someone to get you to ring me. I think that I was a bit harsh on the two of you. I was a young man myself once and received many a rollicking from my father. I wanted to tell you that I have bought a new outboard motor. It is modern and a bit more powerful than the old one. I have put it on a transport, and you should get it tomorrow. Please be very careful with this one. Was there something that you wanted to tell me?” “No! father.” “Good!” “Well as I said, PLEASE be careful with the new unit when it gets to you.” The receiver clicked off and Charles and Frederic could not get down to the boat shed quick enough. They paddled their boat out to the middle of the Lagoon and dropped the outboard motor over the side.

Cleverman

FINALLY OPENS TO THE PUBLIC AFTER SLIGHT DELAY After the recent lockdown pushed the original opening for Orange Regional Museum’s new exhibition Cleverman from July 24th to now, visitors can immerse themselves in the specifically designed exhibit exploring the making of the TV drama series of the same name. Being pioneered by ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image), who developed and has been exhibiting various versions of Cleverman around the country, bringing an exciting variety of materials and interactive platforms for the Orange community to enjoy. Exploring First Nations storytelling, language, and creativity in production design, costumes, and props, this free exhibition invites you to listen first and immerse yourself in a powerful and contemporary expression of origin stories. Orange City Life was lucky enough to get a personalised tour of the new exhibit by Museum Manager Mary-Elizabeth Andrews who said: “It’s about immersing yourself into the story, in the world of Cleverman and learning the behind

the scenes on the television production and what inspired it all.” “It’s interesting because the exhibition is accessible to both people who are fans of the television series and people who haven’t seen the show – visitors will get a lot out of Cleverman.” ACMI Director and CEO Katrina Sedgwick OAM said ACMI has been curating and touring exhibitions across Australia for the past decade, celebrating extraordinary Australian screen practice and practitioners. “The ground-breaking series Cleverman presents Dreaming stories in a stunningly designed sci-fi near-future, laced with political themes that ring true today,” Ms. Sedgwick said. “We jumped at the opportunity to collaborate with series creator Ryan Griffen to create an exhibition that takes people behind the scenes to explore the storytelling and superb screen craft that delivered this remarkable Indigenous Australian TV series.”

“This is a really good mix of a physical exhibition with the props, costumes, illustrations, and designs to the digital interactive platforms on offer for visitors to delved right into the content and be immersed. It’s a really great diverse experience,” says Mary-Elizabeth. One of the main highlights of the exhibit is the interactive screening platform that allows visitors to play segments from the TV show, interact with data and information about the characters and the scenes they’ve selected to play on screen. “It’s quite impressive, the aesthetic of the interactive is inspired from the TV show, it’s really engaging for people,” Orange Regional Museum Manager said. “It’s important for visitors who are interested in experiencing the exhibit is to allow enough time to explore the different aspects, materials, and interactives that are on display.”

Cleverman will be on display for free at Orange Regional Museum until October 24th.

Questions before answers at first Solutions’ Summit Sometimes, asking the right questions, is more important than seeking immediate answers. This was the purpose of the recent Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association (ORRA) Solutions Summit at Orange Ex-Services Club. The ORRA team, led by mayoral candidate, Amanda Spalding, used the event to sound-out issues of greatest important to residents and ratepayers before December’s much-delayed Council poll. “It all went very well, due to the COVID restrictions, we were limited to having only 30 people there. We had to turn people away, which was a very good sign,” Ms Spalding said of the event. “What emerged was a very informal and good discussion, about what are the things that are really bugging people in Orange at the moment?” The result was plenty of discussion about issues that are top-of-the-agenda for the Colour City, rather than immediate solutions, Ms Spalding explained.

“It was more issues than solutions, we’re going to have a follow-up Solutions Summit in November,” she added. "People were keen to talk about issues that they want the Council to advocate to other levels of government over." The issue of housing affordability was top of many attendees list of problems besetting the city, she said. “A load of people are concerned about housing affordability, particularly the number of homes in Orange that are being bought and turned into ‘Air BnBs’, these are taken out of the pool of available housing, which is increasing the cost of houses here and reducing houses available for long-term rent,” she said. That old Orange perennial of water security was also a hot topic for discussion, she added. “It’s a big issue as, because there’s lots of water at the moment, people forget about the next drought and our growing population.”

LETTERS to the Editor

Local transport, or lack thereof, was another topic for debate form the engaged attendees, as were our parks and gardens, she said. “Orange roads are notoriously-bad, and public transport doesn’t exist, and we need a more sensible approach to planning of parks,” she added. Our two great environmental issues, the proposed mountain bike trails for Mount Canobolas, and the sports precinct proposal for south Orange, also came-up for debate. “Attendees spoke of the great economic possibilities of the mountain bike trails, but think it’s very wrong to put them in the State Conservation Area on Mt Canobolas,” Ms Spalding said. The sports stadium issue and calls to retain the regenerating natural area around the old Ex-Services Golf Club site for future open land, showed the lack of consultation from the Council, she added.

Supporting “super playground” idea I was greatly-encouraged to see a new “Giant Playground” for Orange among the topics at the recent Orange Residents and Ratepayers Solutions Summit. This idea has been floated before but, now more than ever, it should be given serious consideration. It would do wonders for Orange, both socially and economically. We’re not just talking about a big kiddies playground here, we’re talking a Super Playground, about 20-times bigger than the Adventure Playground near the Botanical Garden. Such a facility would not only provide hours of good family entertainment for locals, but also provide an attraction that people would come from miles away to spend time with their family there. T here’s one at Speers Point in Newcastle and if you go to https://newywithkids.com.au/speers-point-variety-park/, you can see what a Super Playground looks like. The Speers Point one has a café and is positioned near a park where

“The proposed sports stadium at Bloomfield did come-up, and there were different views expressed and we will continue to explore this, but we believe that it shouldn’t be an ‘either/or’ issue but as part of a more-mature discussion,” Ms Spalding said. Council’s seeming tin-ear when it comes to the views of residents and ratepayers, was a general and overriding issue also, she added. “People feel really concerned, that Council does not engage properly with the local community, and this creates a genuinel lack of trust with this Council,” Ms Spalding said. For those who would like to offer feedback to the Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association, you can use the QR code below to complete an online survey:

local markets are held regularly. It’s brilliant and highlypatronised. It seems to me, that the Northern Distributor site where the sports stadium was to go, would be an ideal place to consider for this. Far better than another Botanical Garden concept. It would be highly-visible, easily-accessible, wouldn’t offend anyone, and would be near the big roadside development that is planned for the Leeds Parade roundabout. Maybe, like Speers Point, space to hold markets could be set aside somewhere nearby, possibly with rows of carport-like shelters to address weather issues. My sincere hope is that, the new council not only has great and practical visionary ideas like this one, but also the desire to make them happen. Orange is doing some good things, but we’re not showing a lot of smart business thinking. With more thought, we could get even better social and economic outcomes from local projects like Future City and installing old-fashioned main-street festoon lights, not just feel-good cosmetic benefits.

syndrome (called TTS) associated with the AZ vaccine, and some people have died as a result. This, understandably, makes some people wary and they delay or avoid being vaccinated.

We had a most enjoyable Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association (ORRA) Solutions Summit on August 4.

However, the use of any medicine is based on an assessment of the risk versus the potential benefit for each patient.

Unfortunately, we had to turn some people away as there was a limit on the number of people allowed because of COVID-19 restrictions, and we will hold another Solutions Summit so we can engage with more local people.

The risk, in this case, is around two people developing TTS for every 100,000 vaccinated with AZ, and of the people who do develop this problem, around five per cent have died. This is very low-risk — around one death per one million vaccinations.

There was a lot of agreement about the issues that matter, with water security and housing affordability being the top two. I know that some will say that those are not local government issues, but I am a great believer in the community leadership and advocacy roles that councils should play on behalf of their communities. The world is a very scary place at the moment and, what scares me most, is that we are being driven further-apart from each other by social media confirming what we already believe, not encouraging us to question what we are being told or to discuss matters in a respectful way with the possibility that we might be able to change our minds. We are all of us, increasingly being pushed to go online for services with a reduction in contact with other people. Many years ago, in England, there was a national indicator called Reducing Avoidable Contact with the Public and councils were expected to aim for and achieve reductions by encouraging members of the public (customers?) to go online for services, instead of contacting councils on the phone or in person. Interestingly, many participants of the Solutions Summit want to see a more responsive Council in the future. They had taken the time and trouble to make submissions, and feel that their submissions were ignored as they received no feedback or had watched a Council meeting on livestream where Councillors did not seem to have taken submissions into consideration. The postponement of the local government elections to December gives us more time to engage authentically with local people about what their ideal Council would look like.

COUNCIL CANDIDATE Frances Kinghorne COVID-19 vaccination! I speak with people every-day about this, and it concerns me that many people are more frightened of the vaccines than they are of COVID-19 itself. Currently, the Astra-Zeneca vaccine is recommended for people aged over 60 years, and the Pfizer vaccine is preferred for people under 60 years. There have been rare cases of an unusual clotting

Of course, these are real people who have died — not just statistics — and that is very sad. However, there is now a greater awareness of the possibility of this side-effect, and anyone who does receive an AZ vaccine, will be given a list of signs and symptoms to look-out for, reflecting possible early stages of TTS. Should any of these symptoms develop, a person can contact their GP or health service, and steps can be taken to prevent the syndrome advancing to a harmful stage. Therefore, it is manageable so should not be a reason to avoid AZ vaccination. There is currently a shortage of Pfizer vaccines, so people need to decide if AZ is an option they’re willing to consider. Both vaccines are very effective at preventing hospitalisation and death from COVID-19, and for AZ there is no waiting time. Talk to your GP or community pharmacist about it.

COUNCIL CANDIDATE Lesley Smith I have often spoken about how much I appreciate living in this place we call home. Last week was “Homelessness Week”, a time for all of us to think about our community members who live here, but have nowhere to call home and, for them, every week is homelessness week. As I speak with women about the issues that are important to them, I have a heightened awareness that it doesn’t take much of a change in personal circumstances to be facing the terrifying thought of being homeless. This is particularly true for middle-aged and older women who are the fastest-growing demographic finding themselves homeless for a myriad of reasons.

The safer, more-secure, and connected people feel, the better they are able to contribute to their own and the town’s well-being. There are lots of innovative alternatives being trialled in other locations that include a recognition of the need for single occupancy options. This is a must-find solution issue for our community! Local council has a vital role to play in addressing homelessness for all community residents who find themselves with nowhere to live, or are having trouble finding affordable safe and stable accommodation. Just think about having nowhere to go to keep warm tonight, or the constant worry that, if there is another rental increase, you may be facing eviction. This one is top of my list as a Council priority. There are many proven solutions that can make a significant difference. Now as to addressing the housing shortage… well that is for next week. Watch this space!

COUNCILLOR CANDIDATE Steve Peterson It has been nice to see water flowing over Suma Park Dam this week. I live on a farm, our dams are all full, as is the four town-water storage catchments of Gosling Creek, Spring Hill, Suma Park, and Lake Canobolas. However, there will be a time in the future where we wish that we could have retained that water currently flowing over the wall. The next drought is coming and, when it does, Orange will have many thousands more people requiring water. Any other plans for Orange’s growth are underlined by an assumption that there will be adequate water available. It has been said on Council, that more dams do not make it rain. However, we live in the “land of droughts and flooding rains”. If we can make-use of the latter, we can better survive the former. Many people have told me of their concerns about long-term water supply. It is an issue that, if elected to Council, I would like to learn more about as I am aware that this is not a new concern.

It is important to remember, we are talking about providing homes for people, not housing.

Ultimate solutions are better coming from a hydro-engineer as opposed to a 35-year-old doctor, although I can’t see how water security could be significantly increased without greater storage capacity.

It benefits the whole of our community to ensure safe, secure, stable, and appropriate housing that creates a strong connection to community.

The gestation period for a new dam is long and would involve multiple layers of government slowing the process further.

We need solutions based on community and projected needs — more-effective alternatives to social housing, and more pathways out of social housing.

Therefore, I hope to keep this problem on Council’s radar when, otherwise, recent rain might make it fade-away in priority.

THUMBS DOWN to the person who wrote in telling people not to work on weekends. Some people work essential jobs like nursing, aged care, retail, and hospitality, so they can’t afford to stay home just because you tell them to. The other thing to consider is, you can’t tell them not to go and get the groceries when they have things to get downtown. They might have to go and get a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread or something, seriously! THUMBS DOWN to slow drivers around town. The speed limit is 50km/h, not 25km/h. People like you cause accidents, too.

bs Up m u Th t ...Big A Staff a . to IG y Street.. e Peisl

BIG THUMBS UP to the IGA staff in the Peisley Street store for their “kindness packages”. These are lovely little packs of home baking by staff – cup-cakes, biscuits, and more. They are a lovely treat to take to a friend who may be down because of this trying Covid time we are all going through. Thank-you so much. I took one to a friend yesterday, and she was so pleased and touched. You are terrific! THUMBS DOWN to the impatient person who recently sent a “Thumbs Down” to shoppers who continue to do their main shopping on the weekends! They suggested asking their boss for a day-off so they could go shopping through the week! People shop when they CAN shop, not when it’s convenient for you. You seem to have a lot of time on your hands, why don’t you shop through the week? I’m sure the big shoppers would much rather be at home with their family on the weekends, rather than having to put up with the eye-rolling and rude comments from impatient “in a hurry, get out of my way” people. THUMBS DOWN to the condition of the sporting fields at Jack Brabham Park. I went to watch my grandchild play soccer on Saturday. You had to walk through water and slush to get to the field, the children were slipping-over and found it difficult to run on the ground or kick the ball covered in mud and slush. Just standing on the sideline watching, the water was squelching-up over our shoes. I realise we’ve had a lot of rainfall, but the fields have a huge drainage problem. Council should try to fix these fields, before building a new one next door!

THUMBS DOWN to tradies who don’t do the right thing (in support of the Thumbs contributor on July 22-28). The good news is there are tradies who do the RIGHT thing. I’ve had experiences with one who agreed to repair faulty workmanship; and two who have been respectful, conscientious, and who cleaned-up at the conclusion of their work. The predominant issues are ‘cutting-corners’, sloppy work, and the ‘what would you know, you’re a woman?’ attitude. Tradies, take responsibility for your work, come when you say you will come, or at least notify the client! My advice: Check the tradie’s licence is current, don’t pay an hourly rate if they smoke or carry a mobile during worktime, and speak with at least two previous and recent clients before engaging. THUMBS UP to the staff at Dudley Hospital. From the staff at the front-desk, to the theatre staff, the recovery staff, and the ward staff’s day and night shifts. I know it is their job, but they couldn’t do enough for me, and I am so grateful. Once again, thank-you. THUMBS DOWN to irresponsible cat-owners who allow their cats to roam at night. Keep them indoors, so we can all get a good night’s sleep without being woken up by them. THUMBS DOWN to sideline parents who aren’t watching the game and then abuse others without knowing the full facts. Not cool.

bs Up m u ...Th staff at e me... to th o H er & Lard

THUMBS UP to the staff at Larder & Home. I would have to say, it is the best-tasting pizza I have had in a long time. I treat my son to a “Hawaiian” after football each Saturday. THUMBS DOWN to how hard it is to get help at home these days. I have been trying to get a cleaner for six months! THUMBS DOWN to Council for constructing another garden median strip in Lords Place. The garden strip in Anson Street is a disgrace to the town. Half the plants are dead. Why would you construct another one, when the existing strip is in such poor condition? As a ratepayer, I think this is a very poor choice of use for ratepayers’ funds.

THUMBS DOWN to the lady who pulled over to tell me not to put my bins out. I’m allowed to do what I want, and, by the way, my bins were due to go out the next morning. Obviously, you have nothing better to do than nag younger generations. THUMBS DOWN to medical people from Sydney hotspots coming to regional areas to do operations that are not urgent. My grandchild was operated on recently because operations were cancelled in some other places due to COVID-19. Is it worth the risk of people travelling out of hotspots for non-essential medical work?

bs Up y m u ...Th from M m to Ti Mate... Tech

THUMBS UP to Tim from My Tech Mate, a new business opened opposite the railway carpark. Tim went over and above when my mobile phone failed. Even though all his “loan” mobiles were out, he went and bought another new “loan” mobile so that I wasn’t without Covid-safe check-in over the weekend while he ordered a spare part. My mobile was fixed within two business days, and the entire customer service experience was exceptional. THUMBS UP to the Orange City Council road maintenance crew who responded within 24 hours of an email concerning a series of potholes caused by recent rain. Thanks again. THUMBS DOWN to drivers who don’t know how to use a roundabout properly. Drivers who cut other drivers off should think about the accidents you might cause. THUMBS DOWN for no right turn into the new service station at Lucknow. You can turn right into most other businesses in the town. This new service station is also on a straight road with good vision, the same as other business entrances. I’m sure the coffee shop and Skin Shop will get sick of people driving through their carparks to get back to the service station. THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for not fixing the potholes around Orange, and don’t just fill them in. I have reported these potholes numerous times.

THE THUMBS REPRESENT THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS OF READERS AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THOSE OF ORANGE CITY LIFE STAFF. EVERY CARE IS TAKEN NOT TO PUBLISH THUMBS THAT ARE CONSIDERED DEROGATORY OR DEFAMATORY IN NATURE . PLEASE NOTE THAT THUMBS MAY BE EDITED FOR CLARITY, SPACE OR LEGAL REASONS. AUGUST 12—18, 2021 47
