It’s been a busy week here in the OC Life office. For some reason, our hard-working manager and designer, Annabel decided to spend time on a Queensland beach, leaving us to struggle on here without her! We somehow managed to get through, but we look forward to welcoming her back into the office. Congratulations to Andrew McKinnon and everyone else behind the Orange Medieval Faire over the week. It was a well-organised event, with a great mix of things to see and do, and well worth the ticket price in my opinion. I hope it becomes a regular feature event for Orange, and I know my children certainly agree. I had to drag my six and nine-year-olds away after five hours, and they haven’t stopped talking about what they want to do next time. It’s getting hard to ignore the fact that winter will be with us again soon. When I first moved to Orange four years ago, I was surprised to find that I enjoyed the cooler months here. Coming, as I had, from the far west of the state, with summer days regularly above 45 degrees, it was actually a welcome change. But this year it feels like we’ve barely seen summer and a couple of 40-degree days are starting to have some appeal... well, mid-30s maybe.

COVID numbers still high for locals living with virus With Australians now being urged to learn to live with COVID-19, continuing lineups at testing centres such as Wade Park show that the disease is still of concern to many locals in the Colour City. Health Department estimates suggest that the Orange Local Government area currently has more than 1800 active cases of the disease with reporting numbers still high. In the greater Western NSW Local Health Dis-

trict; there were 743 new cases in the 24 hours to 4pm on Monday, 112 via PCR tests, and 631 from rapid antigen tests. As has been the case for most of the week, the Bathurst Local Government area still has the highest number of active cases in the region for those recorded in the past two weeks. More than 95 per cent of the eligible local population have had at least their second vaccine dose.

GREENS LAUNCH LOW-KEY CAMPAIGN FOR CALARE It wasn’t the high-profile launch of independent environmentalist Kate Hook of a few weeks’ ago, but more preaching to the converted for the low-key Greens announcement of their candidate for the upcoming federal election. Former ABC journalist, Kay Nankervis launched her campaign for the seat currently held by the Nationals Andrew Gee with two main election themes. Ms Nankervis listed climate change and Australia’s asylum seeker policy of offshore detention, as the issues she will campaign on in the seat that covers much of the central west. “I’m standing in Calare for the Greens because we’re the only major party committed to the environment and to social justice,” Ms Nankervis said.

BOXING KANGAROO LIGHTS UP LORDS PLACE CROSSING WORKS As far as chintzy examples of 1980s kitsch go; you really can’t go past that iconic symbol of jingoistic sporting pride; the “Boxing Kangaroo”; made famous by the Australia II victory at the 1983 America’s Cup. For reasons best known to themselves, an electronic impression of this symbol was recently displayed over a couple of days on the VMS (Variable Message Board) – presumably by Orange Council – at the continuing roadworks in Lords Place. For those not old enough to remember, almost all of Australia wildly celebrated our victory over the Americans in the last of seven 12-metre yacht races off Newport, Rhode Island against Dennis Connor’s “Liberty”. The defeat of the Americans after 132-years of combined trying, was symbolised by Australia II’s flying of the boxing kangaroo flag as it sailed to victory; with a “tired and emotional” (ahem) Prime Minister, Bob Hawke jubilantly declaring, that any Australian boss who sacked his worker for a day off, “was a bum”. In more prosaic news, contractors have also installed the light poles at the pedestrian crossing, hopefully sparing walkers from having to dodge unsighted cars on the new safety strip.

Zen and the art of garden maintenance Recently watching a new groundsman single-mindedly trimming, hedging, edging, and mowing the gardens of a local business into shape after months of seeming neglect; recalled one of the most influential (and frankly odd) self-help books ever written. Now approaching its 50th anniversary, “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance” starts off with an anecdote about a young mechanic almost destroying the author’s motorbike in his ham-fisted efforts at tightening a loose screw. The book categorises people into two main groups, “romantics” who take life as it comes and hope for the best, and those with a “classical” view, who seek to know details, understand inner workings, and master the mechanics of the world around them. Ranging from freewheeling reflections on Buddhism, ancient Greek philosophy, psychology, and personal memoir, one of its main tenets – that has been parroted by thousands of self-improvement books written since – is simply, to do the best you can at all tasks. My first-ever office job didn’t quite fill this criteria. It was in an anonymous government department in Sydney in the early 1980s where we did little work, played hilarious pranks on each other, went to the pub at lunchtime, and enjoyed the odd raucous game of indoor cricket in the corridors. Fun though it seemed at the time, I realised later with a shock of revelation, that I was

thoroughly miserable there. The pointless meaninglessness of it all, was, in the end, quite depressing. This was my first and most salutary lesson in the mental and moral quicksand that is the so-called “easy life”. Not being busy at work, and in your time generally, is one of the most debilitating and disheartening of existence. At the other end of this scale – a striking feature of the nine-hour documentary that filmmaker Peter Jackson recently released on the making of The Beatles album, Let It Be, was how hard the “Fab Four” worked in the studio, even as they bickered, debated, and mused on their doubtful future. On numerous occasions, master producer George Martin and the individual bandmembers would happily drag amps, speakers, drum kits, guitars, chairs, tables, and other equipment around the studio, rather than wait for the help... the world’s most famous roadies. Yet being busy and precise in your work is, in itself, no guarantee of a happy and contented life. You could be the world’s best beer-glass collector at the local club (one of my first senior school jobs), but you’re unlikely to ever get quite the same satisfaction as a surgeon saving a life or a movie maker winning an Academy Award. Doing your best working towards what you really want to do – whether it be farmer, schoolteacher, or groundskeeper – seems the best use of our resources and talents in life.

Celebrating bountiful local produce at

k e e W F

Australia’s longest-running regional food festival, F.O.O.D Week gets underway on Friday, April 1, with a program focusing on the bountiful fresh produce and product found right here in the Orange district.

Orange’s premier festival, F.O.O.D Week this year gets underway from Friday, April 1; so get ready for 10 days of delicious food and produce, good company and cheer, paired with some of the country’s best cool-climate wines. Now in its 31st year and one of Australia’s longest-running regional food festivals, F.O.O.D Week continues to draw bigger crowds year after year. With ticketed events already selling out, 2022 F.O.O.D Week is looking to continue that trend. The expanded 2022 program, now featuring six signature events and more than 70 satellite offerings, is a world away from the Festival’s humble beginnings. The very-first “Food of the Orange District” (F.O.O.D.) festival consisted of just two signature events: a Friday evening dinner with a guest celebrity chef showcasing local region produce; and a Saturday pro-

ducers market known as “F.O.O.D Affair”. The years since have seen phenomenal growth in Orange’s food and wine scene, but it has all been driven by the quality and diversity of produce at our own doorstep, said Caddie Marshall, General Manager of local destination marketing body, Orange360. “One of the important things we are focusing on in this years' F.O.O.D Week is what we are calling the bountiful abundance of our region in terms of our produce,” said Caddie. “That's why a lot of the chefs have moved here, and why, this year we want to put the focus on reconnecting with local producers. The big signature events are important, but it’s that primary produce that built the reputation of food in our region; it started with what we can grow here.”

To showcase the best of our local produce, this year’s festival includes a series of “Producer and The Chef” events, pairing a local producer with one of Orange’s best chefs. One such event on Tuesday, April 5, sees legendary local potato farmer Doug Dagg partner with chefs Dom Aboud and Richard Learmonth for a special celebration of “the potato” at The Union Bank. Then from April 4–8, there will be a series of interactive, “Meet the Producer” workshops held at the CWA Hall. Each workshop will feature two local producers including: Second Mouse Cheese, Franklin Road Preserves, Argyle Saffron, Sweet Treats Connections, Thornbrook Orchard, Trunkey Creek, Norland Fig Orchard, Sophie Hansen, Boutique Garlic and Carbeen Pastured Products. At each event, you’ll hear their stories, get

secret tips and recipes and, best of all, taste their delicious products. It’s a great opportunity for locals and visitors alike to discover the diversity of produce available from Orange and district, added Caddie. The always-popular F.O.O.D. Week Night Market are also making a return on Friday, April 1 for the first time since 2019. The family-friendly event in Robertson Park never fails to draw a crowd, and is a real showcase of Orange’s chefs, cooks, caterers, providores, wine, cider and beer-makers. The festival wraps up on Sunday, April 10 with a “Producers Market and Brunch” in Cook Park. The 2022 F.O.O.D. Week program can be found at: www.orangefoodweek.com.au

Symbols matter Ukrainian flag flying follows Reijer’s urgings – David Dixon –

Symbols matter; Orange Mayor raises the Ukraine flag after letter from local supporter, Reijer Mager.

From an old Dutch maritime family, Reijer Mager knows that symbols matter. The retired engineer led the campaign that recently saw Orange Council decide to fly the Ukrainian flag outside the Civic Centre. While some may decry this as gesture politics, Reijer knows that a flag provides important symbolism in showing support for a nation under invasion by a powerful and ruthless neighbour. Reijer also recently purchased a Ukrainian flag to fly next to a new Australian flag at his house in Paling Street and has also written to local parliamentarians urging them to get on board. “I’ve had a flagpole since 1970; My parents were in the shipping game, and they always flew a flag; it’s in the blood,” Reijer enthused. “I actually rang Melbourne yesterday and ordered the flag, I went to (Federal Member) Andrew Gee’s office and asked them to be part of it… I‘ve also bought a new Australian flag as my current one is getting a little tatty.”

Flying the flag, he believes, provides a powerful message of support to a beleaguered people. “I’m for flying it, because Russia has invaded a sovereign country and is pushing the people out through war, and, it’s important,” he said. “Ukraine is a prosperous country, what’s happening now, should not be happening. Putin just can’t stand the Ukrainian people having freedom,” he added. He revealed that the invasion — the first European land war since 1945 — had also brought back bad memories for family members who had lived under Nazi occupation. “I have relatives in the Netherlands who were young children in the Second World War and it’s bringing it back to them, they had to hide their father in the backyard so the Germans could not find him,” he explained. Flags, he said, are a family tradition referencing Holland’s past and present as one of the world’s great maritime peoples.

“My parents were in the shipping game — among other ships, they had a barge that used to travel the canals between Holland and Germany, so they always flew a flag at home,” he said. Reijer was so touched by the plight of the Ukrainian people, that he wrote a letter to Council and lobbied new councillor Glenn Floyd to allow for the fourth flagpole at Orange Council to fly the horizontal blue and yellow Ukrainian flag. He wrote that flying the flag was: “a beautiful way to give the people of Ukraine the moral support in these dark days of war to fight to retain the sovereign state of Ukraine” Council took up his suggestion at the most recent Council meeting with a special flag-raising ceremony led by Orange Mayor, Councillor Jason Hamling; but Reijer isn’t finished yet. “Last night after I got the news, I wrote a letter to Andrew Gee asking him to buy another flagpole so that he can fly the Ukrainian flag… I hope he comes to the party,” he said.

“It’s only a little expense, I told them to forget about the expense of the pole and do it.” State Member, Phil Donato was also approached with a vague response about flag protocols for members of parliament. “No bureaucrat is going to tell me what flag to fly,” Reijer said defiantly. Supporter Cr Floyd said that the flag is replacing the Orange Local Government flag that normally flies on the fourth flagpole at Council. “I think it’s a good gesture in support of the Ukrainian people,” he said. He added that, Council is also seeking to ensure that the appalling anti-Russian sentiment that has seen many high-profile Russian-speakers victimised in recent times, does not filter down to the Colour City. “At the same time, we’re writing a letter to the Russian-born expatriates, to say to them, we know there are a lot of Russians in Orange, and we are not blaming them for what is happening at the moment,” Cr Floyd said.

The family’s happy result was from being randomly selected from about 60 entries in our competition, and it all came down to the sharp eyes of their 12-year-old football-loving son, who is

The game is now an annual fixture in Bathurst where supporters will get to see NRL superstars from last year’s thrilling 14–12 grand final victory over the South Sydney Rabbitohs including Dubbo boy and NSW State of Origin back-rower, Isaah Yeo; pocket-rocket winger, Brian To'o; wrecking ball James Fisher-Harris; and NSW fiveeight, Jarome Luai.

This starts with Queensland’s star State-of-Origin fullback in Kalyn Ponga, fellow Queenslander Dane Gagai; monster running forward, Tyson Frizell; and bullocking centre, Bradman Best. The Bathurst game is now in its ninth season with Panthers’ annual bush clash allowing football fans west of the mountains to experience the unique intensity of a real NRL game up close on a traditional rectangular field where the fans can almost reach out and touch the players. “We’re really looking forward to it, we’ve been waiting for ages to go to the footy,” Kylie said.

ON-TREND AND OLD-WORLD CRAFTS; OVERHAULED SHOW COMPETITION Whether you’re a spinner, weaver, woodworker, or jewellery-maker, the revamped craft schedule for the 2022 Orange Show Craft Competition, has something to appeal to all crafty locals. It’s the Orange Show's 150th year and new Chief Craft Steward Shannon Williams is calling for crafty locals to make this year’s Pavilion display a fitting celebration for the sesquicentenary. A knitter, spinner, weaver, and regular contributor to the pavilion herself, Shannon has undertaken a complete overhaul of the 2022 Orange Show Craft Competition schedule to better align it with current craft trends. “I had a look at what people have actually been entering in, and I've trimmed it down a lot. So no porcelain dolls, but we've put new things in like macrame, Cricut, polymer clay earrings, because everyone is doing that at the moment, resin art... We had a look at

what people are actually doing in the crafting world and put them in the schedule,” said Shannon, assuring people that popular traditional craft sections like knitting, crochet, and needlework will all remain. But she is hoping the new additions to the revamped schedule will help draw out more local craftworkers. “(The changes) make it broader, which makes it more accessible to a lot more people rather than making it ultra-specific with each category,” said Shannon. In another change, the junior craft sections are now organised by school grades, rather than age. And with school holidays fast approaching, Shannon is urging kids and parents to use that time to get crafty. “With people using their Creative Kids Vouchers, lots of kids have actually been making lots of things already, so chuck it in the show! It could be just

colouring-in, anything,” she said. Taking on the Chief Steward job is no small task and Shannon is appealing for anyone who would like to help to get in touch – even if it is just lending a hand setting up ahead of Show Day. “And I'd love to get as many craft groups as possible to have a display, or do a demonstration on the day. I'll be there with my spinning wheel and my table loom, but in town, we have lacemakers, lapidary, so many other knitting and needlework groups... so it would be nice to display what they do and it could actually pique someone's interest,” said Shannon. The new craft schedule can be downloaded from the Orange Show Society website here: www.orangeshowsociety. org.au/art-craft Shannon Williams can be reached on 0403690737, or email: craft@orangeshowsociety.org.au

“Whatever your craft, there’s a spot for you in the Orange Show Craft Competition,” says new Chief Craft Steward Shannon Williams, who has overhauled the schedule to include new and current craft trends.

BUILDING RESILIENCE THROUGH COVID-19 – Steph Allen – More people are reaching out for psychological help than ever before during the Covid pandemic. PHOTO: ENGIN AKYURT

OVID-19 has undoubtedly put a strain on people’s mental health, but according to an Orange psychologist, another significant shift in the way people talk about mental health has seen a huge change over the pandemic. Clinical psychologist Peter Warren, organiser of the upcoming Coming out of Covid: You and Your Mental Health seminar, said more people are reaching out for help than ever before. “The evidence is clear that calls to ‘Beyond Blue’ kids' helplines saw a big increase of people reaching out – a lot more than in the past,” Mr Warren said. “It’s a sign that people have the sense they can find people who can help them. That’s been good. “Some of the media that’s come through about how to manage things, exercise, connect with people, has been

really helpful.” Coming out of Covid will bring together the community for a night where professionals such as Mr Warren, a local GP and a local carer, will shine a spotlight on the issue of mental health and the impact of the pandemic on the community. “(The event is designed) to help people,” Mr Warren said. “We’re going to be looking at some of the research that’s recently been done. We’ll be looking at the increasing psychological distress among young people, financial insecurity, and the impact on other groups like health workers and across the general community, and how the pandemic impacted the whole mood of the general community.” Another facet of the pandemic’s impact on people’s habits Mr Warren noted was an increase in reported psychological

distress in young people, including rates of depression and anxiety. “There’s a group of young people who stayed connected (over the pandemic), but there’s also a significant group who became less-connected and withdrew,” Mr Warren said. “The pandemic threatened our very sense of social cohesion and connection.” As well as providing attendees with the tools to manage their own mental health, information and tips will be given to those who want to help others. “Reaching out to people, recognising that when people are depressed or withdrawn, they may not be easy to be with and will want to back away but, sometimes, people need to reach out and make the effort,” Mr Warren said. “It may not be an easy conversation, but having the presence there, showing care

and concern, shows they are not alone. “We’re encouraging people to make that phone call. There’s no shame in asking for help...it’s an issue for everyone, and experience experiences some level of stress. “One of the things we’ll talk about, is the ‘whole person’ approach to mental health...it’s body, how we feel about the world, even a spiritual element about one’s purpose, meaning and how to deal with these things. “We’re resilient – there’s a concept called ‘Post Traumatic Growth’ where some people, rather than being depleted after trauma, come through stronger.” Coming out of Covid: You and Your Mental Health will be held at Orange Presbyterian Church (corner of Anson St and Matthews Ave) on Thursday, March 31 from 7pm.

$480 MILLION FOR SUPER FAST WIRELESS BROADBAND The Australian Government is investing a further $480 million in the NBN Network. In our electorate of Calare, this means 25,529 homes and premises will be able to access massively higher speeds and lots more data over wireless broadband. Having access to reliable and high-speed internet is critical for our community, whether that be families connecting with loved ones, or businesses relying on digital communications and online services. By using the latest 4G and 5G wireless technology, this upgrade will extend the coverage range from a tower, and allow higher speed services to everyone served by the tower.

GREAT TO CATCH UP WITH THE MID STATE SUB BRANCH NASHOS I’m proud to be the patron of the Mid State Sub Branch of the National Servicemen’s Association of Australia and it was wonderful to attend their AGM recently. COVID had kept us apart, so it was terrific to see everyone back together again! Our Nashos personify our Australian values of service above self and service to country.

This upgrade also means big benefits for NBN satellite users. Some existing Sky Muster customers will be able to move to fixed wireless and this will free up capacity on the satellite network. Pictured: Emma and Ike Crystal with Gordon Welsh at a mobile phone tower at Larras Lee near Molong.

CADIA WELCOMES NEW INTAKE OF APPRENTICES AND GRADUATES Newcrest Mining’s Cadia Valley Operations (Cadia) is continuing to invest in local jobs with a group of 22 new apprentices and graduates commencing their careers in mining. The new starters will work across a variety of disciplines and trades, including mining, metallurgical, mine geology, electrical engineering, geotechnical engineering, heavy vehicle mechanics, and fitter machinists. Cadia’s General Manager, Aaron Brannigan, said the new starters will develop skills, gain experience and expand their knowledge with new challenges and opportunities along the way. “Each year we are delighted to welcome new graduates and apprentices to Cadia and we look forward to supporting them as they learn and progress their careers in mining,” Aaron said. Cadia’s Apprenticeship Program focuses on training and retaining local people in the community, with priority given to residents living within the region. The seven new apprentices were selected from more than 350 applicants.

Newcrest’s two-year graduate program offers a diverse and unique learning opportunity. Graduates are given the opportunity to gain experience at both of Newcrest’s Australian operations – Cadia and Telfer, Western Australia. Twelve first-year and three second-year graduates have joined the team at Cadia as part of this program. The new graduates and apprentices commenced in mid-January and have since completed site familiarisation, relevant training and inductions and onboarding into their new roles. Applications for Newcrest’s 2023 Graduate program are now open. Details, including how to apply, are available at www.linkedin.com/ jobs/view/2932818694

Fitter machinist, Brittany, said she is looking forward to what the next four years of her apprenticeship will bring.

The Rising Costs of Building - How to Minimise the Risks Part One An increasing problem for both builders and owners who wish to have renovations done or a new home constructed, is the rapidly increasing costs of basic building materials and in some instances, increasing delay in the supply of these materials. Basic building materials such as steel, glass and timber have significantly increased in price over the last two years. This has created a situation where builders are reluctant to enter into a fixed price contract with a client. Normally there is a three to six month delay between a builder providing a quote and the issue of a construction certificate which enables the builder to commence work. During this period, prices for basic commodities for the construction work may have increased by 10 to 15%. Also the commencement date may be delayed by the lack of available materials. In these circumstances the builder naturally wants to protect himself against price increases by preparing a contract which allows a variation in the build cost when and if the cost of materials have significantly increased since the time of the quote. The owner however needs to know what the final build price is likely to be and the owners bank will not normally approve building finance with an open ended price. This problem can be dealt with by a variation in the standard terms of a Building Contract in ways which can protect both builder and owner. These will be addressed in subsequent articles on this subject. Contact John Carpenter or Charles Henley on 02 6393 922 or bsl.reception@blackwellshort.com.au

All Abilities Touch AT PANTHERS’ GAME COULD LEAD TO OWN COMP — ANTHONY BARBAGALLO —

Penrith’s return to Bathurst’s Carrington Park on Saturday, March 26 will feature the now-annual “All Abilities” touch football fixture at half-time.

Penrith’s return to their “second home” at Bathurst’s Carrington Park on Saturday, March 26, taking-on the Newcastle Knights in the NRL third-round blockbuster, will feature a unique game during the break. When the referee blows his whistle for half-time, it will be the sign for local sports stars to take to the field for the now-annual “All Abilities” touch football fixture. The game for people with disabilities will be between the “LiveBetter Thunder” and “LiveBetter Storm” teams featuring a total of 27 players – the most who have ever taken part. According to LiveBetter's Supported Independent Living Area Manager, Di Ryan, the NSW All Abilities Touch Football program has gained significant traction in the region over the last four years. “We’ve had amazing success with this program over the years. What started as ‘Disability League Tag’ is now-known as ‘All Abilities Touch Football’. Last year was the most successful edition so far; people inside the packed-out Carrington Park

With the star-show at half-time of the Panthers’ game this weekend an All Abilities Touch matchup; “sport is for everyone” is the catchphrase that supporters hope could lead to an annual competition for the players. were coming up to us to congratulate the clients and the staff, which was really great to witness. “In addition, some of the players scoring run-away tries kept the crowd engaged throughout the contest,” Di said. She added that the program creates a sense of belonging for the participants, offering them a unique opportunity to get more involved within the sporting and wider community. “I think just the whole experience of getting out there playing sport and being part of these types of events, has given some of our clients a chance to be noticed and treated like every other person,” Di said. “Our clients love having the opportunity to play touch football in front of such a big crowd and monumental event,” she added.

With the runaway success of the game and the positive experience enjoyed by LiveBetter's clients from the annual game in Bathurst; Orange Thunder Touch Football Association recently launched a six-week program for players from mixed All-Ages to run up until mid- April in conjunction with the All Abilities league. It’s the chance for participants to learn new skills and play more touch footy in a formal competition, said Di, who believes it could lead to a permanent local All Abilities competition. “After the six-week program, Orange Touch Football are hopeful that there's enough interest, that they would be able to run an ‘All Abilities’ competition alongside the Thursday touch football comp,” said Di, adding that they are looking to run

an exhibition on the Touch Association’s grand final day, Saturday, April 9. “We've got 11 players from our NRL game this weekend participating in this new program, and they will form part of the game at the grand final,” Di said. “We're just really thankful that the opportunity arose a few years ago to create an All Abilities touch football program; it's only going to get bigger and better. “By working closely with the Orange Touch Football Association, there is a strong possibility of gaining a regular competition at the end of it,” she said. With the All Abilities touch footy program on the cusp of gaining a regular competition in Orange, Di isn’t ruling out the possibility of expanding a similar strategy into other sports for LiveBetter’s clients. “It doesn't have to be isolated to touch football; we would love to create similar programs in other sports for our clients in the future. I have had a personal connection and some knowledge around touch footy, which is why we have pursued this sport first,” Di concluded.

Muso’s ABC of taking your act “on the road” Budding musicians both young and old, all dream of taking their act “on the road”, growing a loyal fan base, and (eventually, maybe), making a living out of their cra�.

But the big ques�on is, how do you get started? Next week, local keen want-to-be and more experienced live performers can get all the inside informa�on they need on how to make this dream a reality. A free masterclass next Saturday, April 2 by highly-successful touring musician and head of “Sure Thing Agency”, Raechel Whitchurch, will go through the essen�al “ABCs” of touring for beginners.

Country music artist Raechel Whitchurch will be talking people through the ABCs of starting as a touring artist in a free masterclass on Saturday, April 2.

“Sound Advice: Ge�ng Started as a Touring Ar�st” will cover everything from how to approach venues, budge�ng, splits and guarantee nego�a�ons, all the way through to how to get people to turn up to your show, once it’s all booked. Whether you are a young musician wan�ng to take that ﬁrst step out on the road, or a well-traveled performer looking for �ps to sharpen up your touring game, this event is for you, Regional Music Oﬃcer

for the Central West, Patrick Coomey, said.

day�me job.

“This is aimed at people who are wan�ng to get more gigs, who want to grow their audience rather than just play the same places,” Patrick said.

“Especially here in the central west; over a series of weekends, you can cover the whole area, but you just need to plan it strategically, reach out to diﬀerent areas, connect with diﬀerent audiences, then create the opportunity to go back, and that gives you more gigging opportuni�es,” he concluded.

“There's going to be a lot of insights into how you approach venues, the sort of informa�on you need to be reaching out to venues that you haven't played at before.

While the session is �tled “Ge�ng started as a touring ar�st”, it will also beneﬁt any musician looking for more work opportuni�es, Patrick said.

Raechel Whitchurch is owner and founder of Sure Thing Agency, represen�ng ar�sts such as Fanny Lumsden, Felicity Urquhart, and Josh Cunningham (The Waifs). She also has a thriving music career of her own, with her most recent album being nominated for two Golden Guitar Awards and debu�ng at Number 1 on the ARIA Australian Country Album Charts. With the event supported by Music NSW, Raechel is passionate about helping ar�sts grow their fan bases through a strong touring strategy.

“Touring now is diﬀerent to what it once was. You can plan tours very strategically so, if music isn't your full-�me job, you can organise tours so they can happen and complement what you are doing in your

“Raechel is an ar�st in her own right and has her own booking agency, so this is a unique opportunity to get insights from an industry expert. An opportunity to hear from someone on the things they wished they had known when they started out doing this,” he added.

From Forgotten Children to a Reckoning for Fairbridge kids — DAVID DIXON —

Much has changed since Fairbridge Farm School campaigner, David Hill was forced to launch his first book on abuse of children at the facility from the back of a car at Molong Railway Station.

he latest book by the former student and one-time head of the ABC titled, Reckoning catalogues how Australian attitudes have changed over the past 15 years to revelations about the wide-ranging exploitation of children in institutions like Fairbridge. The launch of his latest work will be held at Orange City Library on Thursday, March 31 where the author will discuss how the Royal Commission into Child Sexual Abuse has changed the way we all deal with what was a shameful episode in our history and the legal cases that followed. Fairbridge was one of dozens of children’s immigrant schools throughout Australia for British children supposedly offering the chance of a new life in a new land after the devastation Britain suffered from the World Wars. Hill and his brother were two such children at Fairbridge near Molong where industrial-scale sexual and physical abuse of children was commonplace at these socalled enlightened institutions. Cataloguing the history of this at Fairbridge in his first book, The Forgotten Children, he was forced to launch the work at Molong Station after his booking at a local venue was cancelled at the last minute. “It was the story of Fairbridge, and it was

written from children’s experiences,” he said of his first work on the facility. “As it turned out, it was only the beginning of the big story that unfolded afterwards, with the Royal Commission exposing the extent of abuse in many of these institutions,” he said. While The Forgotten Children exposed the crime, his new work, Reckoning, exposes the cover-up and its ultimate revelation in court by dozens of those who had been abused. “It was the Royal Commission established by Julia Gillard that found a whole series of institutions were found to have covered-up these abuses... from Fairbridge alone, 60 former students sued and won compensation,” Mr Hill said. Child abuse was the hidden shame that many sufferers simply kept hidden from the world, due to low self-esteem and a dread, often encouraged by the abuser, that they would not be believed. “For many, it took decades for people who were abused to talk about it. All the Fairbridge kids who I interviewed; I was the first person who they talked to. “I have a photo of a couple of women who were in their mid-seventies, who

said they’d never told anyone about it.” Part of the motivation for the book is to highlight the number of powerful and respected institutions who did nothing about the issue until it came to the light of day. “This book is about the great institutions and the powerful organisations who were all players in this. All of these institutions have since admitted their guilt and apologised to the children, all of them,” he said. This included the British and Australian governments, the NSW Government, and Fairbridge itself. He argues that ignorance of itself, did not explain the failure to protect these vulnerable children – mostly from poor homes, separated from their parents, and sent to largely-unregulated institutions in rural areas on the far side of the world. Mr Hill pointed to a British Government report that recommended the suspension of further child migration to Fairbridge Farm School at Molong or its sister school in Western Australia due to its treatment of children. Patronage from the British Royal family and key members of the British aristocracy at the time, however, meant that Fairbridge was able to have

the report shelved. “In one my chapters, called ‘The Cover-Ups’, I detail how political pressure was brought to embarrass the British Government into not releasing the report. So, they knew then, what was going on, and yet they let it continue.” He said that the acceptance of the widespread nature of this physical and sexual abuse of vulnerable children is one of the positive results of the Royal Commission. “This is one of the good signs, community awareness is now so much greater... when we launched The Forgotten Children in 2007, people simply didn’t believe it. “The café that we had booked for the event, said they had people ring up and complain... so we had the launch out the back of my car,” Mr Hill said wryly.

Three climbs-in-one at special Mountain run this weekend

The unique Great Volcanic Mountain Challenge takes runners on not one, but three separate ascents of Mount Canobolas before the race finishes near the top of the range.

There’s no race quite like Orange’s Great Volcanic Mountain Challenge.

As its name implies, the race takes runners on not one, but three separate ascents of Mount Canobolas, before the race finishes near the top of the range. This year the event is also part of the Statewide running championships with results tallied towards this annual competition, and it’s not too late to enter. Runners, however, have to compete not just against each other, but the unique topography of our most famous landmark. “It’s not run on roads, it’s run on a track, more of a cross-country event with none of the surfaces sealed,” organiser David Manning said to differentiate the event from more conventional long-distance running races. “It’s also part of the mountain running competition as part of the NSW Running Championship... about 15–20 of our top runners will qualify to enter this championship,” he said. With runners aged from eight(ish) to 80,

the 11km course heads off from the Towac Pinnacle Picnic Ground nearly to the summit of Mount Canobolas. “It’s called ‘mountain running’ it’s about a 500-metre climb, but it’s not one climb, it’s three peaks you have to ascend,” David said. “It’s on little-used roads and bush-tracks and ends on the summit of Mt Canobolas via Mt Towac. “So you go up Towac, then down then up ‘young Mt Canobolas’ and back down and then up ‘old man Canobolas’, we then have a complimentary bus to take you back to the start,” he explained. The race starts at 9am on Sunday, March 27 with runners expected to finish by about noon: “The record is 43 minutes, if they haven’t finished by about 12, we’ll go looking for them,” David laughed. With about 300 runners expected for this very special foot-race, it’s not too late to get your nomination in with entries

open until 4pm on Saturday, March 26. Spokesperson Meghan Hibbert said that the Orange Rotary Club race is the perfect chance for those seeking to get back into active sport to get the motor running again at optimal performance. “It’s a Rotary-run event, it’s about our 15th or 16th year we’ve held it and many Rotary members have worked on it for years, some also run it as well. “We have a lot of sponsors, but it’s basically cost-recovery, rather than a fundraiser.” she explained. With the course located in western NSW, many Olympic and Commonwealth Games representative athletes have come to challenge themselves to the high-altitude uphill course as part of their endurance training.

This year, it’s also an official Mountain Running Championship race for Athletics NSW so that is an added incentive for many entrants. The championships act as guide for registered athletes with Athletics NSW to be selected as a member of the NSW Team to compete at the National Mountain Running Championships. Intending to cheer on all competitors from novices to champions, Meghan though will not be pulling on the old Adidas joggers herself and heading up the Mount. “No, I won’t be running, I’m going to be handing-out drinks,” she laughed.

Seniors’ safer, wiser event on this Friday Getting our seniors back out into the community in a secure way is the theme of the “Older, Wiser, Safer” Senior’s Festival being held at Orange Function Centre this Friday. With Central West communities beginning to emerge from the isolation felt particularly by seniors after the COVID pandemic, the event — supported by Orange City Council — is encouraging

local residents and their carers to find out information that could keep them safe and secure, Orange Mayor, Councillor Jason Hamling said. “Because there’s a lot of support available to the elderly, more and more people are able to stay in their homes living independent and healthy lives,” Cr Hamling said. “But that also means, older residents

need to learn about safeguards to protect themselves from financial scams. All kinds of problems can be avoided if an elderly person has a Power of Attorney authority in place in case, they are unable to make decisions for themselves,” he added. At each session, a panel of experts will be available over morning or afternoon tea to help local seniors and their family members or carers, understand all these issues with practical information and

The goodenough parent with Emily Thompson

Day One: “Mum, I’ve got a sore throat,” Miss 13 announces. Although I suspect an attempted sickie, $40 of RATs later, and she’s down with COVID. We call Dad home from work, spend an hour rearranging our schedules and impose an immediate moratorium on the swear jar. I change my doctor’s appointment to a video chat and then photograph the mole I’m concerned about. Hubby glances up and asks, “What are you doing? Taking a photo of your second chin?” I start to wonder if he will survive the week and message my best friend for advice. She helpfully points out that if I kill him today, it will be a full seven days before anyone starts looking for him. “Chins up!” she says encouragingly. Day Two: Schoolwork arrives today and with horrific flashbacks to lockdown, we re-commence home-learning. Care packages also flood in today,

Our week in “iso”

with coffee, books, cake, art kits, and milkshakes for the girls. We feel so loved and cared for by our amazing tribe and appreciate everything. Miss Seven is living her absolute best life and announces, “I wish my sister had caught COVID ages ago!” Day Three: A dangerous situation presents itself when the Easter chocolate order arrives. I settle into our home office alone and try to concentrate on work. Two hours later, all I’ve achieved is a Buzzfeed quiz, to find out what kind of cheese I am (“Brie” because I’m a “textbook people-pleaser”), and an online grocery order consisting exclusively of charcuterie. I give up, watch Brooklyn 99, while eating an entire bag of Caramilk eggs, and serve yesterday’s morning tea for dinner. Day Four: Weekend? Possibly? I attempt a melty-bead craft with Miss Seven. She chooses the unicorn, so I choose the

butterfly. She asks for the butterfly, so I choose the flower. She then asks for the flower and hands me back the butterfly. I calculate that there’s only another 75 hours, 32 minutes and 19 seconds left of “iso”. My finished butterfly looks beautiful. She keeps it. Day Five: NSW Health calls and I surprise myself and the poor phone operator by bursting into tears. It’s been a long week and we’re not through it yet. I make a mental note to reach out to my friends during their isolation to make sure their headspace is okay. I miss “Bill’s Beans” and wonder if they’re thinking about me too. I hope my absence this week isn’t crippling them financially. Bored, I decide to bake — much to the shock and delight of my family. After a quick text to Miss 13 to find out where she keeps the baking trays, I get underway with healthy sausage rolls and cheesymite scrolls. Nothing burnt, I declare my foray into the kitchen a

success and when asked about dinner five hours later, I point them in the direction of the left-overs. Day Six: I take care of Miss 13 and help Miss Seven learn while fitting in bits of work when I can. By the end of the day, I am exhausted, stressed, and very behind. Hubby emerges from the home office at 4pm with his headphones around his neck. “What a quiet, productive day,” he announces, seemingly having completely lost touch with reality. “Are you INSANE?” I blurt out in disbelief. Day Seven: Our last day. Work. Homelearning. Sudden panic because somehow no one has a clean uniform for school tomorrow. Take-away for dinner. We are incredibly grateful to survive our brush with COVID, when so many have not been as lucky. Tomorrow, I look forward to waving goodbye at the school gate. Bring it on!

PaulTIERNEY THE SIMPLE THINGS How can something so small make such a big difference? I’ve always loved a new thing. Something catchy. An “invention”. Probably the best one for the last 20 years, would be Bluetooth earbuds. It took me a while to jump on-board, and it was my kids who bought me a pair one birthday. Oh my, what a lifechanging thing they have turned out to be! Sure, they’re great for running, and that’s what I use them most for. But, stick them in your ears underneath the earmuffs when you’re mowing and whipper-snippering, and things go to the next level. My mowing playlist is a little different to my running playlist(s), but the pure sound out of these earbuds takes away any of the pain of doing the yard-work. And, if somebody rings, just tap the earbud and the call is answered. Brilliant! But, earlier this morning – it’s a Sunday when I’m typing this – a very small addition to my world brought me great pleasure. Don’t laugh or mock me as you read it; it’s amazing, I kid you not. Many of you might go “derrrr, they’ve been around for yonks”’, but today was the very first time I’d ever seen one. So, out the door at about 7:20am (yep, I know, Sunday, ugh), on my way to the Orange Triathlon championships, as a supervisor, coach, and cheerer-onerer. My turn to buy the coffees. Order for five. Normally I’d just go to one of the big fast-food takeaways because it’s so easy, but I needed some petrol, so decided to go to the petrol station that has recently put in a café, with a barista on duty. As it turns out, the best decision I could have made. I walked in the door of the petrol station and “Mr Barista” was in a very cheery mood for that time on a Sunday morning. I gave him the semi-complicated order for the coffees, tapped my phone, and watched him go to work. He was

36 ORANGE CITY LIFE

a maestro, I was spellbound. He also kept his work area and the big machine super-clean as he went, even doing a little squirt of steam after each coffee. Most impressive. As he was putting them into the tray, I realised there were five coffees and of course only four holes in the carry tray. I had about nine kilometres to drive to Gosling Creek, I was going to spill one for sure. Or, at best, the skinny cap foam was going to ooze and froth out the sippy-hole as the coffees were jostled around during my trip, like always. Grrr, my good mood was evaporating, how was I to solve this dilemma? Well, my old mate was waaaaay ahead of me. His permanent smile went even wider, it was almost as though he was reading my mind. Impressively, he pulled out his ‘secret weapon’ ... a little piece of plastic that was almost key-shaped, a specially-made stopper that fit snugly in the sippy hole of the plastic lid of the coffee. Hit casually, he fit five of these into the tops of the coffees, and obviously noticed my incredulous look as he finished his work, giving me the Aussie “nod”, with a “there you go” as he pushed the tray across the counter. I was speechless. Best. Invention. Ever. Maybe not, but I had never seen or heard of these little plugs before. If you’ve seen these before and just wasted five minutes of your day reading this column, my apologies. As I arrived at Triathlon with the stash of coffees, I was extremely proud of the fact that not one single drop of coffee or froth was missing from any of the takeaway cups. To say my colleagues were astonished and stunned at the little plugs in the tops of their brews, is an understatement. What an invention. Ahhh, the simple things.

MARCH 24-30, 2022

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB Harmony Day On March 21, we celebrated Harmony Day. This is a great day where we get to celebrate the diversity of humanity. We get to celebrate the diversity of culture, language, food and customs. I think it is a good thing that we do this. Here in Australia, we are a multicultural society. This is a good thing. The diversity of our society makes for a richer society. The other week, I was at our eldest child’s school assembly where we sang our national anthem. It had been a long time since I had sung it in a public gathering and I was quite moved by the line in the second verse: ‘For those who’ve come across the seas, we’ve boundless plains to share, with courage let us all unite to advance Australia fair.’ That is a powerful line that we declare as a nation. We are wanting to be a welcoming place for anyone who may seek to live here. The irony is however, there have been times in our recent history when we have not sought to live this out. Rather than being welcoming to those from other cultures, who are seeking a new home and a new life, we have turned our back on them and shut them out. This has been a great tragedy. Yet what we declare in our national anthem is that it is through the diversity of our culture that unites us in advancing our nation. This is what makes Harmony Day special. We get to celebrate the diversity

and uniqueness of the melting pot of culture here in Australia. As a Christian, I deeply value the diversity of culture in our world. Throughout the Bible, God gives a picture of his heart for the nations. Not in creating a single, monoculture, but that the nations would simply know him. We see this in Psalm 67:3-4a where it says: Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy. Then in Revelation 7:9-10, at the end of history, it says this: After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” What does this show us? It shows us that the richness and diversity of culture is good and is worth celebrating. We should affirm and celebrate the diversity of culture here in Australia. God desires that all people to know him, no matter where they are from, and no matter what language they speak. This is something that we too can reflect as we welcome, accept and affirm the diversity of culture on days like Harmony Day, and on every other day as we share the boundless plains with those who have come across the seas.

RAY AND FRIENDS taking Oran ge to funky -town Colour City boy Ray Vanderby found his “soul” in his current offering with an “out-of-this-world” sound made right here in Orange

ay’s latest album, Comet 2 Comet is an all-Orange affair that brings together local musicians, vocalists, a local sound engineer, and even a dancer, to create a funk-soul sound that’s “far-out”. After more than 30 years playing music around Australia, Ray has just about done it all with his current disk seeing the talented musician and songwriter venture into new territory — with a little help from his friends. A self-taught pianist who can’t actually read sheet-music, Ray has shared the stage with the likes of the Stevie Wright Band, the Doug Parkinson Band, been part of a national tour with the Marcia Hines Band, performed with two different line-ups of Blackfeather, and has started numerous bands of his own in all sorts of genres. For this album, the ever-versatile Ray decided he wanted to take his sound in a new direction, although one heavily influenced by the music of his youth. “ I've done a lot of albums in a lot of genres depending on where I've been located… so I've done albums in the rock scene and the pop scene, jazz, blues, progressive rock, hard rock — but I'd never done an album in the soul-funk vein, and I was very influenced by that in the 1970s

Cecilia Rochelli, Ray Vanderby, Barry Patterson, Ashlee Wilson and Melissa Stanford. Taken while filming a music video for ‘Funky Space Music’, the first single from Ray Vanderby’s new album Comet 2 Comet. Photo: BY STEVE GOSCH

— particularly with bands like Steely Dan, Average White Band, Herbie Hancock's ‘Head Hunters’ album. “I got offered a distribution deal with Blue Pie records just recently, and they said a soul-funk album sounds great!” Ray has sung his own vocals for most of his career but, for this album, he wanted a very particular sound and so recruited local vocalists Cecilia Rochelli, Melissa Stanford, and Barry Patterson. “I always really loved that 5th Dimension sound, Manhatten Transfer and the Mammas and the Pappas — beautiful vocals and great songs,” said Ray. “So we started rehearsing some songs just in the living room and had a lot of fun with it… and then Barry came along and it

all gelled and came together.” With former Corrugated Iron band-member Mark Welch and Shane Dickerson, Ray hit the recording studio, working with local engineer Craig Honeysett at the Dotted Eight Studio and bringing in another local guitarist Dave Webb. “The picture was there, it was all recorded, but then it had to be mixed and that was a long process,” said Ray, shaking his head. “Craig is probably relieved that it is all finished. because it has been going on for two-and-a-half years! It’s the longest it has ever taken me to do an album, but it has been invaluable because we've been able to record a section, then think about it, listen to it for a couple of weeks, then come

back and perhaps add to it.” With Ray’s health preventing him from performing live gigs, he has put together two music videos to promote the new album — again, recruiting local talent. “For our first song ‘Funky Space Music’ I decided I wanted a dancer. I phoned a couple of the dance companies here and found Ashlee Wilson, who has recently come back from London and she'd studied at the Rambert School Of Ballet and Contemporary Dance and she is fabulous!,” said Ray, who booked out the Orange Civic Theatre for a day to shoot the video, which you can now find on YouTube. “We've already shot the second video at the Blind Pig, and we had a lot of fun putting that one together… and in a couple of months we'll put that one out. “So, it has been a thoroughly enjoyable ride and, I think musicians in Orange should do more networking. Look around you, just see who's around; there are so many talented people in town and I think it adds to the flavour of whatever you are trying to make. And, in this case, I've been very fortunate to meet everybody who has been involved in it,” concluded Ray

Musical mates, Ian and Troy, “Together Alone” in Orange A COUPLE OF AUSTRALIAN MUSIC LEGENDS — ONE A ROCK’N’ROLLER, THE OTHER A COUNTRY MUSIC STAR — HAVE TEAMED UP FOR A UNIQUE AND INTIMATE LIVE SHOW AT ORANGE CIVIC CENTRE ON SUNDAY, APRIL 3. Five gigs into their national “Together Alone Tour”; the long-time musical chums are relishing being back onstage. Two of our most-respected singers, musicians, and songwriters, they have a friendship stretching-back decades but, surprisingly, this is the first time the pair have hit the road together. Sharing the stage in an intimate setting, their collaboration, “Together Alone”, is a musical journey through the careers and back catalogues of both these two top-line performers. “It's been a really interesting way to tour. We normally go out with bands, or Ian going through some stuff with (Cold) Chisel, but we're not using a band, we're obviously alone on stage and also together… two blokes playing acoustic guitars and telling stories and playing their songs — that is what the title’s all about,” Troy told Orange City Life. “Maybe we should have called the actual tour ‘Third Times the Charm’ or something, because due to COVID, we had to reschedule the whole bloody thing two times!” he added with a laugh. The truth is, Troy said, the past few years have actually been a tough time for the country music star. After losing his father in 2019, having the pandemic prohibit his ability to provide for his

family through the ban on live performances, was a lot to bear. However, being able to record his new album, “The World Today”, and finally getting back on-stage, has provided the perfect way to open up and work through this emotionally-difficult time. “I'd never seen that sort of adversity before in my life and, sometimes it's handy for everyone, I think, to talk about it, because we sometimes suffer from not talking about it… “But it got to the stage where, I thought, ‘now I'm going to share this stuff, that times can get better,’ and being on the road with Ian, has proved that too,” Troy said. “This tour’s been going incredibly well. Two years of just not knowing what you do. After a while, you start to lose your purpose, and it's just been great to be out doing what we actually are meant to be doing — that’s playing music for people.”

Troy added that the forced time away from the stage, has made him appreciate live performing a lot more, and he is now enjoying making up for lost time on this tour. “We’re loving every minute of it! It’s a great, fun thing to get out there and share our music with everyone, to be able to see the reaction from crowds… we really have missed live music, whether it's the audience or the musicians as well, and I'm noticing that pretty much every time we set on stage,” said Troy, who is enjoying being able to share the stage with his good-mate, Ian. Their friendship, he explained, goes back to the mid-1990s, when Ian and fellow Cold Chisel bandmember (and chief songwriter) Don Walker, stopped by Nash Chamber’s recording studio. “Ian walked in and noticed we all were sitting around barefoot and he said, ‘I think I found my people!’,” laughed Troy.

“He’s a bit of a bare-footer, coming from Alice Springs, and that endeared him a lot to me when he came in and said that. Then he sang on an old track that I recorded years ago called ‘The Dark End of the Street’, and from there, our friendship sort of grew.” Although Troy admits, he had been a fan of Ian’s music long before then. “‘Bow River,’ that was my favourite song out of a lot of the Chisel tunes, and it takes me back to when I was in my teens, driving along in an EH Holden just about blowing the speakers out of the door! “And now to be able to do this tour together, it has been incredible…you know, we're both on-stage from the first song together. We play on each other's tunes. I place some rhythmic guitar for Ian, then he might give me the nod, and I'll play some lead guitar on his stuff as well — you wouldn't think you'd have to play lead guitar on Ian Moss’ stuff, would you? “It's just refreshing for both of us to share the stage with someone that you admire. And, also the fact that we have a chance to play on each other's tunes, that's something that we really have enjoyed! “We're just pretty bloody thrilled to be bringing a show we’re really proud of, out there to Orange, and we hope we can drag some people out and make light of a heavy couple of years,” Troy concluded. The ‘Together Alone Tour’ will be at the Orange Civic Theatre on April 3 at 7pm, tickets can be purchased at premier.ticketek.com.au/shows/show. aspx?sh=MOSSCASD22.

CLETIS CARR bringing Americana to Orange PERCHED ATOP THE AMERICANA/FOLK/BLUES SUMMIT, BATHURST SINGERSONGWRITER, CLETIS CARR FEATURES IN THE NEXT “LIVE & KICKING: MEET THE SONGWRITER SESSIONS” AT THE AGRESTIC GROCER ON FRIDAY, MARCH 25 FROM 6PM. Carr’s singular tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption — ordinary madness and everyday heroes — are draped in a rich tapestry of acoustic, steel-string, and resonator guitars. “Patrons of The Agrestic Grocer who are ‘Ruby Tuesday’ followers, would remember Cletis from his successful string of shows bringing Dire Straits self-titled album to life a couple of years ago,” Arts OutWest’s Patrick Coomey said. Cletis is an accomplished songwriter with more than 120 compositions released, some of which have been covered by artists including Celtic rock-

band, The Pogues as well as having featured on a number of television and film soundtracks. His songs have received high praise from the likes of Peter Frampton, Phil Collins, Emmylou Harris, and David Crosby. As a performer, he has toured the world, sharing stages with international stars including Tom Petty, John Mellencamp, Elvis Costello, Joan Jett, Nick Lowe, and Huey Lewis, and has also performed with members of AC/ DC, Rose Tattoo, the Easybeats, and the Saints. “Late Last year, Cletis thrilled a

Bathurst ‘Live & Kicking’ audience with his fluid slide guitar and the depth and range of his songwriting that resonates right across his latest EP Lurid Casino of Existence,” Patrick said. “He is also a consummate storyteller, and his tales of backstage stage life add another element to the entertainment.” Organised by Arts OutWest, ‘Live & Kicking’ gigs showcase the original tunes of top Central West musicians in a format that digs into the storytelling behind the songwriting. These gigs are supported by the Australian Governments Live Music Australia.

Bathurst singer-songwriter Cletis Carr returns to Orange for the next ‘Live & Kicking: Meet the Songwriter Sessions’ at The Agrestic Grocer this Friday.

ORANGE CITY LIFE

Around the SCHOOLS This week Orange City Life takes you behind the school gate to give you a little glimpse into what's been happening at some of our local schools.

ANSON STREET SCHOOL Some of the primary students of Anson Street School have recently been involved in intensive swimming. Staff supported the students in water confidence and learning to swim activities. There was great improvement shown by everyone who participated. The students are looking forward to the school swimming carnival this week where they will participate in races and novelty events. This year Mrs Lloyd has been visiting primary classes teaching music. The students have been enjoying singing, playing instruments and moving with different styles of music. They are learning about keeping time with music and making their own sounds.

CALARE PUBLIC SCHOOL Calare recently played in the first round of the PSSA cricket competition, coming away with a win against OPS. Calare batted first after losing the toss. Calare got 121 off our 25 overs with Talby Smith and Spencer Chapman retiring on 40 runs each. OPS started their innings which resulted in a first-ball wicket for Spencer and a great catch by Will Cunich as keeper. Some tight bowling and classic catches by Will and Ashton Beard saw OPS end their 25 overs with 93 runs. Well done to OPS; you played a strong game. Congratulations boys! Calare is very proud of you and your sportsmanship! Year 4 recently returned from camp at Lake Burrendong. The kids were beside themselves when they arrived to see a mob of kangaroos at the entrance and the fun didn’t stop there. The students worked their way through archery, kayaking, initiatives, survival skills, raft building, boomerang making and throwing, as well as a slip-and-slide. The water activities were a favourite for the students AND the teachers. It was amazing to watch the students learn how to work together showing how they can communicate, collaborate, compromise, and really tap into their creativity. We are incredibly grateful to call this group of students ours.

GLENROI PUBLIC SCHOOL Our Loose Parts Play program allows for learning to be extended from the traditional classroom. Through play, our students are given the opportunity to show off their creative thinking skills by making something out of nothing. Through these self-directed play experiences, students learn to communicate with each other as they negotiate game rules and solve conflicts. They practice using their mathematical and scientific skills and knowledge in a practical manner and learn to take measured risks in a highly supported environment. Problem-solving skills are supported through trial and error and gross motor is strengthened as students climb, pull and balance. All in all, our students have A LOT of fun!

ORANGE PUBLIC SCHOOL Our Swimming Carnival in February was a wonderful day for all students, with racing, novelties, free swims, relays and plenty of house spirit making the day a fun and inclusive event. Pictured below right are our House Captains (Arunta: Jonty and Anezka, Maranoa: Joshua and Halle, Leawarra: Indigo and Lachlan, Kawana: Matilda and Luca) accepting the overall results for the carnival. “Leawarra” are back on top for swimming, as are our Teachers Relay Team, narrowly defeating both students and parents this year. A strong team of OPS students also competed at District,

with four children (Abigail, Henry, Anna and Oliver - pictured below left) achieving Individual Championship status and 22 children qualifying to compete at the Western carnival. Year 6 at Point Wolstencroft (pictured left): The annual Year 6 Sport and Rec Camp enjoyed by our children, our school returning to the camp, continuing our 30+ year association. Lots fun was had by all.

ST MARY’S CATHOLIC PRIMARY SCHOOL "Students finding the FUN in learning Mathematics" In every classroom at St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Orange you can hear students sharing ideas, problem-solving and celebrating their success with cheers. This is all happening during re-imagined Maths lessons that have the students using hands-on manipulatives like blocks, number lines or 'spinners', playing games with dice and cards and, most importantly, explaining their mathematical thinking. They're having fun while learning Maths. At St Mary's, learning Mathematics involves play, exploration and teamwork. Mathematics is about seeing patterns and building connections. It's an inherently relevant, playful and social subject where students explore tasks with an inquisitive mind and approach problem-solving tasks with creativity. "Maths really can be fun!" the students are saying. "Is Maths over already?" and "Can we do this again tomorrow?" We are loving learning Mathematics at St Mary’s!

ORANGE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL Stage 2 at Orange Christian School have been lovingly and carefully watering, nurturing, weeding and tending their vegetable and flower garden this year, and the results speak for themselves! It’s such an important part of life to learn where our food comes from – not just the supermarket – and understand what goes into caring for and patiently growing the fruits and vegetables that we eat every day! It’s not bad when it yields delicious food too! In the last few weeks, they have harvested their carrots, capsicums, cherry tomatoes, giant zucchinis, spring onions, potatoes, spinach and more goodies with more to come! There is also a patch of poppies to be able to harvest and use for remembrance on ANZAC Day this year. We made delicious zucchini pizzas last week with our homegrown tomatoes, capsicums and a whole lot of cheese on top and we’ve never seen such smiles when kids are eating their veggies! We’re lucky to have a great space to grow, harvest, prepare and cook our awesome goodies

AROUND THE grounds

Exciting start to First Grade (BOIDC) Cricket finals There were some upsets and close matches in the first week of the Bathurst Orange Inter-District Cricket finals. A few of the topfive sides were fighting for finals survival, while others sought a direct path to the grand final on Saturday, April 2. City Colts upset Orange City but fall to St Pat’s in elimination finals Orange City, the reigning BOIDC champions, are officially out of the 2021/22 first grade finals after City Colts pulled off an extraordinary upset in the elimination final at Riawena Oval. Despite Orange City going into the elimination clash as favourites and with the home advantage, the bottle green-and-white were coming off the back of two consecutive losses. Orange City's recent poor form and batting difficulties came back to haunt them in this crucial finals game. The visitors opted to bat first, placing immediate pressure on Orange City’s bowlers. City Colts may have started slowly, but Josh Toole put on an electric batting performance, hitting eight fours in a sharp batting display to finish 48 not-out. Orange City’s Andrew Rutledge picked up four wickets during his bowling stint, but it failed to make a difference as the 2021 grand finalists continued to struggle in the batting department. As a result, the Orange side failed to provide enough resistance with the bat, paving the way for City Colt’s star-bowler, David Henderson to put on a golden bowling show and eventually taking 5/39. City Colts ran away with a 75-run win (City Colts 182 Orange City 107). The victory sets them up to face Bathurst rivals, St Pat’s Old Boys on Sunday in the semi-final. The refreshed third-placed St Pat’s Old Boys proved a greater challenge for the City Colts to handle. Despite showing positive signs early-on, City Colts later fell victim to St Pat’s fast bowling and explosive batting. It only took four of St Pat’s batsmen to reach the 156 target, securing them a vital win against a defenceless City Colts. St Pat’s are now aiming to make their second-consecutive grand final, but first they must face Bathurst rivals Rugby Union in this weekend’s preliminary final. St Pat’s Old Boys 2/158 defeated City Colts 156 Cavaliers reach Grand Final The Cavaliers have punched

their ticket to the 2021/22 grand final after defeating second-placed Rugby Union in a thrilling qualifying final. Having lost three of their last four fixtures, there were significant worries inside the Cavaliers’ camp about how the minor premiers would handle the relentless attack of the robust Rugby Union outfit. However, Cavs produced a calmer performance in the batting department compared to the last time they faced Rugby Union. With the maroon-and-grey digging deep, star-batsman Hugh Middleton provided the spark by hitting four fours, accumulating a decent set of 38 runs. Rugby Union’s star batter, Imran Qureshi, looked to turn the game on its head with his impressive 42run knock but, just when it looked like the visitors’ batting firepower would overwhelm the opposition, Cavaliers responded with savvy and aggressive bowling from Hugh Britton to counter the threat with an impressive (4/36). A successful neutralisation of Rugby Union's top batsmen helped the Cavs secure an eightrun victory. While the minor premiers can now enjoy a week’s rest, Rugby Union need to now face St Pat’s Old Boys in the preliminary final this Saturday, March 26. Cavaliers 162 defeated Rugby Union 154

Finals action in Orange District Cricket Second grade Last Saturday’s second-grade cricket semi-finals produced some exciting contests. Fourth-placed Centrals stunned first-placed Cavaliers with a spirited performance earning a four-wicket victory and a spot in this Saturday’s second-grade grand final. Kinross First X1 secured their grand final place after comfortably beating Orange City by 105 runs. Both Centrals and Kinross First X1 will tango in this weekend’s big dance. Third Grade Only one semi-final took place in the third-grade competition; CYMS directly qualified for the grand final after topping the division. In the semis, Orange City defeated Centrals Black by four wickets to book their spot in the grand final against CYMS.

Summer football produces frantic finish Barnies Bananas crowned Orange Women’s summer football champions The Orange Women’s 2021/22 Summer Football competition came to a finale last Monday with

with ANTHONY BARBAGALLO

Barnstoneworth’s Barnies Bananas beating Ex-Services Tigers in the grand final. Barnies were playing in their third grand final, while this new Ex-Services side headed into the clash as underdogs. With the first half showcasing goals galore and end-to-end action, the Bananas went into the break with a 3-2 lead. But Ex-Services couldn’t maintain the same intensity in the second half due to Barnies’ extra clinical eye in front of the goal. The Bananas sailed to 5-2 victory, taking out this season’s Women’s Summer Football competition. Waratahs take-out inaugural over 35s summer football title Waratahs FC has won the over 35s inaugural summer football competition after defeating CYMS 3-0 in the grand final last Tuesday evening. In the earlier third-place game, Saints FC defeated Barnstoneworth United 2-1 in a gripping contest. Saints FC team member, Juan Pablo, described his team’s tense semi-final match with Waratahs and the overall enjoyable experience in this new local summer football competition. “We just missed out on the grand final after losing to Waratahs in the last minute, but it still feels good to walk away with third place. While I enjoy regular 11-a-side football more, this version still produced many fun moments,” said Pablo. The maiden over 35s summer football competition is similar to the previous twilight football tournament. Still, this new format reduces the pace and boosts enjoyment for some of Orange’s experienced footballers.

BARRACKER THE

The delicate etiquette around being a sports mum and dad A recent article in Orange City Life on a new program for mentoring disconnected youth – revealed the importance for kids of an adult in their lives who has “consistently shown up for them”. For many parents in this busy, disconnected world with children who seemingly live on their devices; kids’ sport is one area where they can still make a real difference to their youngsters’ life experience. One of the most high profile, but not the only way that parents can do this, is in volunteering as coaches and managers of their kids’ sporting teams or at Little Athletics. Sports studies have shown the vital link between a child’s interest and participation in sport, and one or both of their parents’ engagement in that sporting activity or code themselves. For elite athletes that had risen to a professional level for their sport, their parents' commitment and interest were closely correlated to success. But it was not just for topline footballers, cricketers, and Olympic athletes that this rule-of-thumb applies, it’s also been found almost all children who retain active participation in sport once they hit those teen years when other interests start to intrude on their lives. But you don’t have to be the all-inclusive outgoing sporty Dad or Mum in a team tracksuit who coaches the kids with infectious enthusiasm; organises the registrations; and washes the guernseys, to be a good sports parent. Or the sports buff who knows the full season’s draw, current competition table and ladder, the idiosyncrasies of each team and coach, and is on first-name terms with all officials and regularly harasses them with inquiries about rule changes, cancellations, and semi-final draws. Sometimes you can have a coach who is a little too MARCH 24-30, 2022

outgoing and committed. I’ve spent winters prowling the far side of the football field to avoid the well-meaning coach, who bellows advice to players, oppositions, referees, and linesmen each week. As with most things in life, every little bit helps. Running the substitutions during the game, doing your turn with the oranges at half-time, giving a lift to a kid whose parents are away that weekend, collecting the balls kicked around at training... these are all ways to show your children you’re invested in their sport. The “rub” though, is how much interest and engagement in your children’s sporting endeavours, is too much? We’ve all known those parents screaming from the sidelines every week and arguing with the referee and coach after each game about their lack of understanding of how the game should be played. Or they spend their time telling their child what to do at all times, seeming finding fault with anything other than a perfect performance. I actually tend to fall into this category a bit as a parent; but I do have an excuse. With a moderately-competitive sporting personality, my children who tend to have a more relaxed temperament, will literally go a whole game without touching the ball in either attack or defence, if left to their own devices. Almost as bad are the “I only come here to chat to other parents” brigade, who will spend the whole game gossiping on the sideline; discussing the politics at the P&C; their generally-unremarkable working lives; or organising social dates with other equally-bored mums and dads. In many ways, it’s tough finding that balance as a sports mum and dad, but these events form some of the best memories of your child’s growing years.

THE INSPIRING GOLF COMEBACK OF BRUCE MCLEAN — ANTHONY BARBAGALLO —

Bruce McLean is one of the most respected and highly-regarded professional golfers in Orange. But, after suffering a stroke in July last year, the Duntryleague Coach has been absent from the pro golf scene for quite some time. Even with this debilitating stroke affecting his vision and coordination, Bruce is currently defying the odds and making an inspirational return to the sports he loves. McLean is quite the fighter, demonstrating strength and determination as he steps back onto the green. Orange City Life recently caught up with Bruce to discuss his road to recovery; his previous professional golf lifestyle; and the early steps of getting back into the sport. Before the stroke, what did a regular yearly golf schedule look like for you? I would probably play about 30 tournaments out of about 80 in the year for the Legends Tournament Tour, which would be away for two weeks, come back for one or two, then go away for another two weeks. This yearly journey would start in January to February, and then some tournaments would be on in April right through to early June. Then, from late June till September, I would play in Queensland tournaments before coming back to play in the NSW tournaments towards the end of the year. What have been the first golf-related steps in your return to the sport? The hardest thing was probably getting my balance to the point where my eyesight was good enough to focus on the ball. Yeah, I don't have a great deal of depth, which shows where the ball is sitting on the grass or where it looks like it's sitting in the grass. All I see is a white circle on a green background or a bunker on a brown background. I have to sort of guess as to where the ball is sitting and how it’s sitting and then just hit a certain point if I could. But the main point was getting my balance back, which the girls in the physio department at the hospital got me doing about 750 squats in a week. I'm still feeling the sore effects of that, but it made me not fall over; I'm very thankful for that. I also went down to Sydney for an operation to put in a plastic strip that holds my eyelid permanently open so that I can see out of my left eye. This has made a big difference for me to see, and it's helped me get a 40-degree vision with my left eye. So I’ve mainly been focusing on my driving swing and trying to stay balanced on a centerline; it’s been quite hilarious. The first 60 shots were all far beyond the ball, and then they closed for a bit thinner tops. I have to get people who have good eyesight to play with me; otherwise I don't see the ball. I've lost about eight balls in the last three weeks.

How did it feel when you stepped back onto the green? I have enjoyed walking around and playing golf with some of the members of Duntryleague; they have been very good to me. But I would like to thank my family and wife Amanda for their support. Just doing everyday things, like talking with my grandchildren and friends, makes me appreciate the small things in life. Have you been playing in any small local tournaments yet? They have given me a handicap of 15 to start, which has now come down to 12. At the moment, I've basically hit my limit as I still keep making too many mistakes. I have broken 100, 90 and 85, but the main goal now is trying to break 80. Overall, I'm just enjoying getting out there and happy to work on new goals each time. And what does your golf future look like? I’m currently taking it slowly, enjoying the game along the way. I’m seeing if I can get down to around about the “scratch” handicap, but I'm just thankful to God that I've got the opportunity to do it. So I'll just work with this and see what comes day by day.

Despite his unfortunate stroke, Bruce McLean has not given up on getting back to playing some of his finest golf. Even though it has been a delicate and slow process, the decorated golfer's story has been inspiring.

Workshop to boost mental health support skills for local business Business Orange and Rural Adversity Mental Health Program have partnered to deliver a workshop for local businesses to give them the tools they need to support their employee’s mental health From COVID to floods and international unrest, the past two years have had an impact on the mental health of the community. Through open discussions with members, not-for-profit business advocacy group Business Orange (formerly the Orange Business Chamber) reports an increasing need for mental health support skills within our local businesses. “Just checking in and having general conversations with local business owners and employees; some people are struggling, feel a bit down and are not themselves,” said Business Orange President Jack Evans.

So together with the Rural Adversity Mental Health Program, Business Orange decided to deliver a workshop to give business owners the skills they need to support their own employees. Presented by Rural Mental Health Coordinator Philip Worrad the workshop will teach participants how to approach someone who is struggling with their wellbeing or mental health. It will give them strategies to minimise the negative impacts of stress and anxiety, and skills to de-escalate heightened emotions of individuals. It will also cover the signs that

a person may be at risk of selfharm or of taking their own life, how to talk to them and what health services people at risk of self-harm or of taking their own life can be linked to. “It’s not just about supplying the phone number for a mental health hotline, we want to ensure that if employers are asking their staff if they and their mental health are ok, that they are well equipped to handle the conversation and situation that could follow.” Business Orange board member,” Jo McRae stressed “People living in rural areas are more likely to seek help

from people they trust, such as their agents, suppliers, sales representatives, local community and support groups. We provide these people with the skills and confidence to help link people to mental health support.“ The workshop will be held 9am-1.30pm on Monday, March 28, at The Greenhouse of Orange, located on the rooftop of the Orange Ex-Services’ Club. Tickets are available

online at www.eventbrite. com/e/business-orangepresents-workplace-mentalhealth-support-skillstickets-276332627327, are free for Business Orange members and $20 + bf for non-members.

THUMBS UP to the person

who returned my phone which fell off my car on Friday, March 11. It made a very stressful situation much better. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

THUMBS UP to my

fantastic friends and neighbours, Tammy, and Mick. They are the best people you could ever hope to meet!

THUMBS UP to everyone who came to the aid of an elderly person outside the Westpac Bank on the corner of Summer and Anson Streets recently. An especially big “thumbs up” to the first-aid officer who came to help and didn't leave until the police and paramedics had arrived. Thank you to everyone who came to help. THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for still not installing footpaths across the road from Bowen Public School. THUMBS UP to the

gentleman who, on March 10, at Aldi paid my grocery bill. You truly deserve a giant THUMBS UP! You must have noticed the problem I was having with my card being rejected, and you quietly stepped forward and said, “pay with this”. I was surprised and only said “thank you” and you left before I regained my composure. I wish to let you know my gratitude and, on March 22, I will donate the amount, at the Trivia Night to CanAssist, and

explain it is yours. Sadly, your name is unknown. Many thanks for your kind act.

THUMBS DOWN to the huge portion of Orange citizens, for their definition of waste during the recent Council kerbside pick-up. I saw countless items in excellent condition, sometimes as new, along with countless boxes of unwanted nick-nacks, hardly any of which was broken, wrecked, or faulty. Watching Council throwing all this perfectly usable “waste” into the rubbish compactor, was beyond belief. We are constantly told to recycle, re-use and reduce. Our city makes a big deal when it comes to Clean-up Australia Day and Tidy Town competitions. We claim to be “with it” and “aware” of current environmental issues yet, we just tossed out tonnes and tonnes of perfectly-working consumer goods, worth thousands of dollars. THUMBS UP to the lovely

man, who after buying a heap of Easter Eggs at Coles on the morning of March 15, gave one big egg to the lady who staffs the self-serve checkouts, and told her this for the great service she gives every time he comes to the store.

THUMBS DOWN

to the drivers frequenting the new service station that recently opened on Molong Road and who have since made Royle Drive a rubbish tip. Can't

after a recent appointment. I am so grateful for your trouble. From “one vague and distracted retail worker”!

THUMBS DOWN

to Cabonne Council for only advertising local area meetings on social media and their website. There are still people who don’t use computers. A note included with rate notices might have attracted more attendees.

THUMBS UP to Lois from Orange Skin Cancer Clinic for going above and beyond her duties to contact a client and reunite her with the correct ceiling fan she had purchased

THUMBS UP to my high school friend Nabba, who recently paid for my groceries at the selfserve checkout when my digital card would not work on my phone. Your kind and thoughtful gesture saved me from a world of embarrassment and has restored my faith in humans. THUMBS UP to the man who went on his annual Cadbury Easter Eggs trek, handing them out (mainly) to essential workers. Over 120 eggs went to the Orange Health Service’s doctors, nurses, and other staff; 40 or so were handed over to staff at a couple of chemists in town; 20 went to Orange police officers; and another 40 were split between businesses our “Easter Bunny” has frequented over the last year to offer to their customers. THUMBS UP to the very helpful super lady at Officeworks who helped me locate and buy a new landline phone for my house. The old phone broke after it was dropped, and the replacement phone is very easy to use. Thank you for the great service, as it was very much appreciated. THUMBS DOWN to the footballers at Emus Ground on Sunday, March 12, who thought it was appropriate to walk off the playing field, gather at the

fence bordering Elephant Park, and proceed to relieve themselves in public! I found this very confronting as I walked my dogs up the pathway near the fence.

ROOFS OR ROOVES? Orange City Life received two Thumbs this week in response to the “rooves or roofs” Thumbs that ran recently on the supposed misuse of the term by television reporters.

THUMBS DOWN to an interesting Thumbs Down last week. The Oxford Dictionary agrees with the television reporters, and my understanding of the spelling of “Rooves” over many years. It's possibly an American spelling, but certainly not a “nitwits” one! THUMBS DOWN to the person who is annoyed by the use of the word “rooves”, the plural for the word “roof”. The general ruleof-thumb when I was a student, (many years ago now), was that, if the singular word ended in “f” then, in the plural form, the “f” was replaced with a “v” and “es” added. Thus, roof became rooves; hoof – hooves; calf – calves; wife – wives; shelf – shelves; thief – thieves. Certainly, the word “roofs” is used in the US and is becoming more widely used here but, if those like myself, who still use the older plural forms, are “nitwits”, could we please be referred to as “literate nitwits”?

The Thumbs represent thoughts and opinions of readers and do not necessarily reflect those of Orange City Life. 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.
