amilies from right around the state with seriously ill children, will soon be able to access free accommodation in Orange while here for treatment. Stage 1 of Orange’s new Ronald McDonald House is set to officially open within a few weeks and what a facility it is. Stage 1 features the main infrastructure plus 8 rooms of family accommodation. Stage 2 will see a further 12 family rooms added to the facility. About $1 million is still need to complete Stage 2. It’s been a while coming but the wait is almost over and I believe when people see it and realise just how much work has gone into it, this facility will be rated amongst Orange’s finest achievements. I personally, have been privileged to gain behind the scenes knowledge and I think those who have driven the project from day one deserve a medal. Two things about this project have really stood out to me, one positive and one negative. The positive has been the unbelievable generosity of a great number of people right across the region. From corporations right down to humble pensioners have contributed to the project in ways that would leave many people gob-smacked if they could hear all these stories. And as is so often the case, many don’t want any publicity. Around $4 million in cash, goods and services

April is a primary school teacher in Orange and works at Belle Armoire boutique on weekends and during school holidays. When she’s not there you’ll find her shopping, at the gym or busy planning her upcoming wedding!

has been donated in this way. The negative is not quite so simple. It involves McDonalds. Despite the facts being totally to the contrary, many people still regard this project as a pseudo McDonalds marketing or publicity exercise and for that reason alone, want to bag it. I find that most disappointing and it’s that sort of attitude that can prevent a lot of good being done than might otherwise be the case. For the record, here are the facts – The Orange Ronald McDonald House is not owned by McDonald’s. It is however, strongly supported by the charity arm of McDonalds known as Ronald McDonald Charities. Probably, the best way to explain this is, Ronald McDonald Charities was prepared to let the Orange group build a facility using the RMH concept and also provide some financial and other support to help it get off the ground and to continue to operate. The Orange RMH is owned locally by Canobolas Cottage Pty Ltd who set out to establish a Ronald McDonald House facility in Orange, and to service the region, around 10 years ago. This group, not McDonald’s, has virtually taken what was a dream to the reality which stands out near our hospital today. Without the incredible efforts of the local board, there would be no RMH in Orange. Let’s be clear. Orange RMH is about providing care and love to families with seriously ill children who have to come to Orange for treatment, and they do it for free. Let that care and love begin!

FROM THE A FEW WORDS FROM THE MAN IN CHARGE

Autumn is with us again and of course that’s when the colours of Orange come to the fore again. A lot of people also regard autumn as the best time of the year weatherwise in Orange and I must say, I think that’s fair comment. This week’s OCL is another beauty and I think you’ll enjoy a lot of what we have in here for you. My team is really enjoying their work lately and the gloss paper has certainly raised the job satisfaction level of all of us. I can see a time ahead when all newspapers will be printed on gloss paper. Traditional newsprint paper really is fast becoming something from bygone days. Orange is set for a musical treat this weekend when our local Brass Band celebrates their annual Brass Celebration. Wonderful music will ring out along Summer Street on Saturday during the street march, Cook Park on both days during the free open air concerts and from our Civic Theatre on Saturday night when visiting bands will join our own to put on a stirring concert. Our local band does a great job and this weekend we all get the chance to acknowledge their efforts by attending one of their performances and cheering them on. It’s worth reminding everyone again that if you feel OCL can help you or someone you know in some way, please don’t be afraid to ask. If you’d like to feature in OCL in some way, ask us about that too. Just call 6361 3575 and may your request known. Looney Lotto winner for last week was Brenda Wright. This week’s lucky numbers are on page 26 so good luck!

RMH Committee Chair Joanne Lewis told Orange City Life that the donation will help welcome the first families into the House very soon. “It’s a huge milestone for us,” Mrs Lewis said. “Cadia Valley Operations were the first company we went to ask ‘Would you be interested in supporting us?’… They’ve supported us since day one. “They’ve really enabled us to start … so this is a great conclusion.” CVO General Manager Tony McPaul said the company is happy to share the vision of those

who’ve supported the House opening. “It is truly a community project that we’re very, very proud of and we’re very, very glad to get to this point,” said Mr McPaul. CVO pledged to support the project in 2006 and has since contributed $150,000 towards the project. “The RMH aligns perfectly with CVO’s community partnership program, which aims at supporting long term programs in the region,” Mr McPaul said. “We hope our donation commitment encourages fundraising towards the building completion so that families with sick children being treated at Orange Hospital can begin taking up residence to the House.”

Recently, Petbarn Orange in partnership with RSPCA Orange celebrated Valentine’s Day by taking part in the Petbarn Foundation’s national pet dating event, aimed at raising awareness about pet adoption and finding the perfect home for pets in need. Taking place on Saturday 14 February, it was the perfect occasion for pets and prospective pet parents to find their perfect match. At the event Petbarn Orange together with RSPCA Orange were able to re-home two kittens, one adult cat and one rabbit. While nationally, 213 Aussie pets were re-homed through pet dating events hosted simultaneously in over 120 Petbarn stores across the country. Importantly, 100% of adoption fees collected by Petbarn at the event went directly back to RSPCA Orange. Cindy Collings, Store Manager of Petbarn Orange says, “Our pet dating event

range has lead Australia in Kids’ Lit Quiz with the first Australian heats being held here in 2012 in the National Year of Reading. The quiz has grown from those humble beginnings of just one heat and 13 teams (52 Children) to 5 heats in Three States and over 90 teams (that’s over 360 children) in the last four years. The quiz challenges readers on any children’s book

published in the English language! Teams of four students work together to answer 100 questions in ten categories. They learn which categories the quiz consists of only minutes before the event. Kids Lit Quiz is a not for profit organization that has been hugely successful throughout the world including New Zealand (for over 20 years), South Africa, UK, Canada, Hong

Kong, Singapore and USA at keeping kids aged 10-13 years avidly reading. Wayne Mills, founder of Kids Lit Quiz and Quizmaster will be travelling from New Zealand via South Africa after completing the competitions there. The Australian competition starts in Ipswich and Brisbane in Queensland, and then to Orange, NSW. He will then go on to run heats in Canberra, ACT and Merrylands, Sydney.

The winning team of the heats of Kids Lit Quiz Australia will be offered an opportunity to represent their area at the National Final to be held in Sydney at Monkey Baa Theatre at Darling Harbour on Saturday 14th March 2015 and the winning team of the National Final will be given the opportunity to represent Australia at the Kids Lit Quiz World Finals in Connecticut, USA in July 2015.

WORDS BY CHRIS BENNETTS

A STORY OF

SURVIVORS WELLINGTON BORN PHOTOGRAPHER ASHER MILGATE HAS RETURNED TO HIS HOMETOWN TO UNCOVER A STORY THAT NEEDS TO BE TOLD.

hat Asher has produced is ‘SURVIVORS’ a multimedia exhibition that acknowledges and recognises the former residents of ‘Nanima’ mission in Wellington- the oldest continually run mission in all of Australia, established in 1832. “Survivors relates to the past, the present and the future of a resilient and proud ancient people,” Asher said. “With permission, I have been honored and lucky enough to sit down with 18 Elders and Elders in waiting to reflect on their lives growing up and living on Nanima mission. Together we have collected audio recollections of their lives, thoughts and feelings, as well as photographic portraits, to paint an idea of what it has been like for Aboriginal people living in Wellington.” Asher believes Survivors, which opens at the Western Plains Cultural Centre in Dubbo on March 7 - May 10, is important for many reasons. “I think Survivors will educate people about an important part of Australian history that happened right here in our region. It aims to open eyes and hearts to the experiences of our fellow Australians; the Aboriginal people,” he said. “It is also exposing the truth of how people lived, and the things they endured to survive.” Being a non Indigenous person and being granted the permission to work so closely with the community is not something Asher has taken for granted. “To see the faces, listen to the yarns, and begin to understand what the community is thinking and feeling, is both a great honor and a solemn responsibility. I believe Survivors can assist in reconciliation within our community by creating understanding, respect and acceptance.” “It also aims to make former residents of Nanima realise how special they are, encouraging them to reflect on the uniqueness of their existence, particularly in modern times.” Asher believes the combination of portraiture and audio recordings helps the viewer immerse in the exhibition. “While chilling, uplifting and evocative, in my opinion, the spoken word is encumbered by limitations. Through my portraiture, I seek to uncover the parts of the story left untold,” he explained. “Each medium will breathe life into the other, lending texture and context. When they hear the recording, the viewer can explain the twinkle in the subject’s eyes, the furrow in his or her brow, or the wonder

in their smile.” Asher is encouraging everyone in the region to consider checking out Survivors if they are heading to Dubbo. “The Survivors exhibition is connected to Orange through the many Aboriginal families and networks that branch out all through NSW. Many prominent families such as the Ah-See, Carr and Stanley families all have links back to the Nanima mission… it’s a real eye opener.” Asher would especially like to see the youth of our region experience the exhibition. “The future of our country, the very people that can determine future relations between Indigenous and non Indigenous people, and help retain the knowledge and the stories for future generations.” “I hope Survivors will help retain Indigenous oral history, while also challenge misconceptions about Aboriginal people. The work seeks to preserve the beliefs of these great people, their legends and traditions.” “It’s also a catalyst for healing; a reminder of who we are; of who we were, so we can see more completely where we want to be.” The Survivors exhibition runs from March 7 - May 10 at the Western Plains Cultural Centre in Dubbo.

CAR CLUB COMES THROUGH FOR RDA CHRIS BENNETTS

Gnoo Blas Classic Car Club vice president Greg Harvey, committee member Col Pollack along with Barry Wicks of Orange City Tyres presented a donation cheque to Pat Frecklington of the Orange Riding for the Disabled (RDA) during the week. The money was raised at the club’s annual Car Show held on the 7th of February at Jack Brabham Park. Some of the money came from the wheel changing completion which was sponsored by Orange City Tyres. Pat was very grateful for the kind gesture! “On behalf of the RDA I would like to thank the club for their kind donation and for thinking of us. We really appreciate any help we get; it helps us give joy to many kids!”

NEW SKATE PARK FOR ORANGE

State Member Andrew Gee gets into the spirit of his announcement while Cr Gander looks on in concern

MEMBER FOR ORANGE, ANDREW GEE ANNOUNCED LAST TUESDAY THAT $25,000 WILL BE ALLOCATED TOWARDS A NEW SKATE PARK AT ORANGE’S ANZAC PARK THROUGH THE NSW GOVERNMENT’S 2014/15 SPORT FACILITY PROGRAM. r Gee, who was joined by Orange City Council Services Committee chair Ron Gander for the announcement, said that safer and more accessible venues are crucial in assisting locals to stay fit and keep healthy. “The building of a new skate park at Anzac Park will increase community participation and encourage families to consider trying sports like skate boarding or riding scooters. “The new skate park will also complement the current facilities at the site including the Sir Neville Howse Stadium and outdoor netball courts. “Sport is a huge part of our way of life and the NSW Government recognises that. Safer and more accessible venues are crucial in assisting locals in staying fit and healthy. “It’s a great pleasure to assist local clubs and sporting associations by providing the funds to increase the availability, standard and quality of sport facilities in the Orange electorate.”

Cr Ron Gander welcomed today’s announcement. “This new skate park will build on the excellent facilities already available at the John Lomas Skate Park,” Cr Gander said. “The success of the facility in Moulder Park has shown us that facilities like this are for much more than skating. They are places where young people can spend time with each other, meet new friends and make new connections. “The new facility will cost $120,000. Work is due to start in April and, weather permitting; it will be completed in May.” “There are three alternative designs for the new Anzac Park set and Orange City Council is using social media to engage with local young people about which option they prefer,” Cr Gander said. Those wishing to have their say on the new skate park can do so by visiting the Orange Skate Zone Facebook page. (www.facebook.com/OrangeSkateZone) To the youth of Orange; this is YOUR chance to have a say, this is just the first step in an on-going process for the Anzac Park area and getting it right the first time is crucial. Congrats to council for using social media to encourage the users to have a say.

OLIVIA CARGILL FROM JAMES SHEAHAN CATHOLIC COLLEGE WAS RECENTLY SELECTED AS ONE OF 28 STUDENTS TO ATTEND THE 2014 ABORIGINAL SUMMER SCHOOL FOR EXCELLENCE IN TECHNOLOGY AND SCIENCE (ASSETS) PROGRAM IN ADELAIDE.

he ASSETS program provides the opportunity for high achieving Year 10 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students, with an interest in science, to explore the study and career options available to them in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields. During the camp, students have the opportunity to participate in activities designed to challenge and excite them academically, culturally and personally. Scientists from industry and academia engaged participants in cutting-edge science and technology experiences to open their eyes to the possibilities that exist for future study and careers. An integrated cultural and personal leadership program strengthens their connections with an understanding

MARCH 5–11, 2015

of their own culture and heritage and encourages them to become role models in their schools and communities. Olivia, along with the other participants, visited the Living Kaurna Cultural Centre and the Camp Coorong museum, spoke with Aboriginal elders, took part in a basket weaving class and got to taste some traditional foods such as kangaroo tail. The students particularly enjoyed a talk by Prof Irabinna-Rigney, The University of Adelaide’s Dean of Indigenous Education, who encouraged students to ‘be the change’ they want for their communities. When asked what the ASSETS program did for her, Olivia simply stated “The camp was a wonderful experience

Olivia and some of her fellow ASSETS participants

and gave me the opportunity to connect to my culture, meet new friends and gain skills and knowledge that will help me decide and prepare for my future career.” “I now have ongoing contact with CSIRO and they have helped me identify my strengths and future career opportunities that I may be best suited for.” Olivia also wanted to pass along her thanks to her school and the ASSETS program for being so accommodating.

For the academic component, the students were taken on a botanical tour of the Coorong Lakes area to discover the traditional uses of native plants. Participants worked in teams on an open inquiry topic inspired by the academic activities. During their investigations the students had a visit from the Governor of South Australia who spoke to the groups about their projects. Olivia’s group investigated the use of native plants as insect repellents and presented their findings at the closing ceremony

attended by the Honourable Tung Ngo MLC, Khatija Thomas the Commissioner for Aboriginal Engagement, respected Aboriginal elders and family and friends. ASSETS is part of a broader Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander science, technology, engineering and mathematics education program managed by CSIRO and funded by the BHP Billiton Foundation. Participation is free for students. For more information or to register your interest visit www.csiro. au/indigenous-education

A FEW IDEAS AND A LITTLE WISDOM TO HELP MAKE LIFE BETTER

WITH BOB HOLLAND

A NUMBER OF ENCOURAGING COMMENTS ABOUT OUR ALIVE AND WISE SEGMENT CONTINUE TO COME IN AND THAT’S GREAT. HOWEVER, WHAT WOULD REALLY MAKE IT BETTER IS IF MORE READERS SENT ME STUFF FROM THEIR OWN EXPERIENCES. WE’VE ALL HAD EXPERIENCES THAT OTHERS COULD LEARN FROM SO WHY NOT SHARE THEM?

ON THE SUBJECT OF WISDOM… GILLIAN HATTON SENT US OLDIES THIS BIT OF THOUGHT PROVOKING FUN.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1920s 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s!

Leslye Melville writes: I like to read this section of your paper and would like to contribute: Do seniors living alone in Orange know that they can contact the Orange Fire Brigade and request help with the installation and battery-changing of their fire alarm systems? This is a free service, performed by professionals who are very helpful, not to mention very charming. Just contact the Fire Brigade as daylight saving is coming to an end and we are entering winter. Or just telephone to enquire. Thanks Leslye! For Christmas the year before last, my son included a pair of simple innersoles as a stocking stuffer among my Christmas gifts. He said, although unusual, he had a pair and found them very comfortable. I thought to myself “oh well, whatever?” I put them in my workday shoes, which are pretty comfortable and good quality to start with, and boy I could really notice a pleasing difference, very soft and comfortable underfoot. Last week I noticed they had finally all but worn out and decided to see if I could buy the same ones again. I shopped around and finally found them in Mather’s Shoes in Orange Central Square. They are called Waproo Freshfoot odour destroying foam insole and much to my delight, they cost just $5 for the pair. For just $5 you may like to give them a try. Still on gifts, several months back we were given six solar gar-

den lights (see above) which we put into our garden and to be honest, they looked great. Problem was, in a matter of a month or two, two of them stopped working. We liked them so much that we shopped around to see if we could find who sold them to get a couple more or at least replace the batteries. We found them at Bunnings and it turns out that they only cost about $6 each. We asked about the batteries and was told that they cost as much or more than the whole light. We bought two more and replaced them in our garden. Just a few months later, four of the six are now not working and to be honest it’s a bit disheartening, because they look so good when they’re working. We are now challenged to either keeping spending money replacing them or pull them out altogether. The moral of the story is this—if you’re considering this type of solar garden light, be aware that they may have a short life span.

surers. Like so many I guess, we assumed this company to be so big and so strong that their premiums would be very competitive, especially since we seem to be afforded huge discounts for having all our insurances with the same company. Last year however, we decided to get a quote from APIA Insurance. We knew their ads said something about good deals for pensioners but that’s about as far as it went. We had just bought a new home which prompted us into action. Anyway, to cut a long story short, my wife rang them and from the first moment she spoke to them to this day we have been very happy with APIA. Overall, we have saved hundreds of dollars on our combined insurance policies and dealing with them is a pleasure, you actually speak to a person. The message is clear, if you’re over 50 and have home, contents and/or car insurance, it could be well worth your time to get some quotes from APIA and then compare them to what you’re currently paying and also what your policy covers. We found some plusses there too.

...O savveerall, of dd hunwde hav our ollar reds e s c insuombin on poli rance ed cies ...

For more years than I care to remember, we had all our home, contents and car insurances with one of the major in-

irst, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us and lived in houses made of asbestos. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese, tuna from a can, and didn’t get tested for diabetes or cervical cancer. Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright coloured lead-based paints. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets or shoes, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking. As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags; riding in the back of a Ute on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle. Take away food was limited to fish and chips, no pizza shops, McDonalds, KFC, Subway or Red Rooster. Even though all the shops closed at 6:00pm and didn’t open on the weekends, somehow we didn’t starve to death! We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. We could collect old drink bottles and cash them in at the corner store and buy fruit tingles and some crackers to blow up frogs with. We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soft drinks with sugar in it, but we weren’t overweight because… WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING! We could leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And we were OK. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. We built tree houses and cubby houses and played in creek beds with matchbox cars. We did not have Playstations, Nintendo’s, Xboxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no mobile

phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms… WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them! We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. Only girls had pierced ears! We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. You could only buy Easter Eggs and Hot Cross buns at Easter time…no really! We were given BB guns and sling shots for our 10th birthdays. We drank milk laced with Strontium 90 from cows that had eaten grass covered in nuclear fallout from the atomic testing at Maralinga in 1956. We rode bikes or walked to a friend’s house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Mum didn’t have to go to work to help dad make ends meet! Footy had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn’t had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that! Our teachers used to belt us with big sticks and leather straps and bullies always ruled the playground at school. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! Our parents got married before they had children and didn’t invent stupid names for their kids like “Kiora” and “Blade” This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problems solvers and inventors ever! The past 70 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL. And you are one of them!! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. MARCH 5–11, 2015

ON MY MIND

WITH PAUL TIERNEY

READER

SUBMISSIONS—EMAIL: BOB@OCLIFE.COM.AU // POST: ‘LETTERS’—SUITE 3, 241 LORDS PLACE, ORANGE NSW 2800

THE WORD OF ORANGE

What are youse doing? This is not a holier than thou column, but I’m going to correct the next person who bugs me with their use of our language. Way back when I was in Year 7, my English class studied a famous book called Let Talk Strine. Do you remember the author? Yep, it was Afferbeck Lauder (are you with me?). For those of you not familiar with Strine, that’s our language, with the way we speak here in Oz written phonetically. For example, if you were to enquire as to the cost of a particular item in a store, you would be saying ‘emma chisit?’. Or if you were a bit hot, you might need to activate the egg nishner. Hungry? You’d cook some baked necks. I’d suggest you google all of this if you haven’t a clue what I’m on about … you’ll find it quite amusing. Afferbeck even wrote an Australian love song with the title “With Air Chew”, it was a beaut. This great book is diametrically opposed to the abuse the English language is copping at present. Tautology is a huge big one that appears to have made resurgence in our vernacular in recent times. Rugby League commentator Rex Mossop was the king of tautology and messing up sentences, with gems such as “he’s making good forward progress”, or “the ref’s giving him a verbal tongue lashing”. It was worth tuning in to the footy on a Sunday night just to hear him wreck the dictionary. The biggies nowadays seem to be the need to double up on size. For example ‘massive, big’ or ‘massively huge’ are used by teenagers (and adults) everywhere to unnecessarily over describe the magnitude of something. I think I’m guilty of doing it sometimes,

but I have to bite my lip and snigger every time I hear it. Surely it is just a habit when the words somethink and anythink are uttered in conversation, or are the users ahead of their time, showing insight and thought (i.e think) with their pronounciations? Are you following the gist of this column, or do I need to be a bit more pacific? As I sit at the table in the family room typing and taking in the lovely aromas of chilli and garlic coming from the kitchen, I casually observe my wife putting the persketti into the saucepan, and my stomach rumbles. Tonight is a home night, but tomorrow evening we’re going out to see a fillum. Youse people reading this will no doubt be jealous of how spoilt I am. Things have been a bit less stressful on us so far this year, after our eldest finished the Haitch SC last year. Are sportsmen of today all suffering the effects of concussion? They do appear to be a little confused when they get arksed questions or when they are arksing questions themselves. They’re always saying ‘yeah, no’ in response to how they achieved their man-of-the-match performance. Oh well, they are obviously stoked everythink. If Rex were still alive today, he’d be in seventh heaven as he described the peril of a hero. Saying something like “he’s suffering from a groin injury at the top of his leg” would see him fit right in here in 2015, it would appear. The problems with the way we speak are a massive big issue at the moment. Just why there is a need to modify the English language in such ways is puzzling. Anyway, if youse are amongst those who make a habit of any of the aforementioned pearlers, you’ll probably find me arksing you if there’s a special reason for it.

RE: ‘IS NEWS TRASHING OUR NATION? Hi Bob, Your article ‘Is “News” trashing our nation?’ (Life Feb. 26 - March 4, 2015) is very much appreciated. Not only is there an overabundance of ‘news’, but with a world population of well in excess of 7 billion, there must be a rather large percentage of those people who are going about life doing the best they can every day. In the nightly news ‘shows’ the emphasis is on who can report the most dramatized versions of events the fastest and longest. In the process, events such as the seige at the Sydney cafe, with its nonstop coverage, give the few who would wreak havoc in the world the greatest possible free advertising for their objectives - the elucidation of widening fear and depression and their encumbrances. The few giving the impressions that they seek to further. There have been various versions of the tale of “Henny Penny/Chicken Little” across time, with the phrase

“The sky is falling” after her close encounter of the acorn kind atop her head. (The modern version of Julie Bishop’s concern for her lost earring is rather interesting, especially in light of the scale of matters for which she is appointed to deal.) Online, it is easy to see the effects of depression which besets people with continual emphasis on the negative events of human complexity. And to have it served up continually surely cannot do otherwise than be entering the memory stores (with visual horrors experienced to some degree in the retelling, over and over again) and having deleterious effects. So, perhaps instead of leaping to the impressions that the ‘world’ is failing, we might do well to see where people in it are succeeding, the beauty it contains and the reasons why each individual can play a role in the present and thus the future. Perhaps wisdom includes looking beyond the facades to see the possibility of the great potential with which we are endowed at birth.

To have the media drop the acorn of disbelief in the capacity of the human species to move on to be better than its worst, we need to question what we are being told for profit and so-called “entertainment”. Movies and videos promoting violence for that ‘entertainment’ is another issue. Just as it is erroneous to believe in the Pollyanna principle, it seems equally unwise to succumb to the Henny Penny/Chicken Little reactions and to rather maintain the courage to see what great gifts there are for us to accept in this life if only we see their possibilities. The dichotomy of visual media and its ‘controls’. One wonders at the direction ‘mind control’ might well be taking, in looking back how the content of visual media has drastically changed. We need to keep our capacity for discernment intact, along with our common sense and compassion. We all have the capacity to think beyond the square that some might attempt to display as reality.

His broad experience of art, artists and how the art world works ensures fascinating glimpses behind the scenes as well as the public face of art. Edmund Capon, in his time at the NSW Art Gallery, transformed it into a really dynamic place, where blockbuster shows jostled with very contemporary art installations, and the annual “prize” shows – the Archibald, the Wynne and the Dobell. Student art in the form of ArtExpress draws thousands of visitors annually. Orange Regional Gallery also grew and devel-

There’s more than just a music treat in store for people who go along to the free brass band concerts in Cook Park this weekend. Friends Assisting the Community will be selling delicious Devonshire teas for visitors to enjoy while you listen to the music. They’ll be selling their Devonshire teas from near the Bastick Craft Cottage on both days and even if you’re not there for the music, you can stick pop by to pick one up and take it away. All funds raised will be going towards our new local hospital to help buy new equipment to ensure patients have a speedy recovery. These always prove popular so given the chance, please grab a Devonshire tea from the group, you’ll be helping a great cause.

HELPING THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF ORANGE

The group from last year posing in front of Australia’s oldest landmark, Uluru CONTRIBUTED

usion Australia, the Christian youth and community organisation, will be hosting a trivia night this Saturday 7th to assist young people from Orange on a 13-day pilgrimage to Uluru in April. The coach camping safari for high school aged students leaves them with friends and memories they will never forget. It has been an annual event since 2001. Fusion’s vision is “Bringing Young People and their Community Together with Hope.” Fusion’s values are Justice, Mercy, Compassion, Respect and Industry. While it began its work among youth, the

importance of a healthy and caring community to nurture each new generation has led Fusion into extensive community work in Australia and beyond. Fusion’s services focus on community building and helping people find a sense of belonging and purpose. Held at the Wesley Uniting Church in Anson Street, you can book a full table of eight or just pop along and join a table. Cost is $20 per head or $140 per table. A light supper will be provided. To book, call 5310 2474 prior to 4pm Friday the 6th.

NEW $2.5 MILLION AMBULANCE STATION FOR MOLONG!

★

The good times just keep on rolling for Molong and Cabonne with the news that Molong is to receive a brand new $2.5 ambulance station.

The existing station operates out of an old house and the plan is to locate the new purpose built station with the new $15 million hospital to create one big health campus. It’s a development which will anchor health services and economic growth in Molong for decades to come. A new pipeline, hospital, ambulance station and library for Molong. I think we can call it: Molong’s on a roll!

In 1588 Sir Francis Drake famously finished a game of lawn bowls before defeating the looming Spanish Armada. There was no armada in sight last week but there was an impressive trophy and $14,000 in prize money up for grabs when the Golden Eagle Pairs lawn bowls tournament kicked off at Orange City Bowling Club. The tournament is in its 47th year and draws competitors from all over the region and Australia. Congratulations to the competitors, sponsors, The Country Club and the fantastic team at Orange City Bowling Club for supporting this iconic sporting event of Orange.

THE LINE HAS BEEN HELD ON NSW GOVERNMENT JOB NUMBERS AT ORANGE Despite Trade & Investment/DPI across NSW undergoing the biggest shakeup since WWII, the line has been held on job numbers in Orange. In 2011 there were just over 500 of those jobs here. There are now 600.

then decide what is the best way forward. At the moment he’s leaning towards a hospice as a solution. The feedback I’m getting is that there is considerable community support for that and I’d like to see that concept further developed and refined. I could envisage the community really getting behind it if it was done properly, and everyone was on the same page with it. Whichever way we go, we need to do the homework and get it right because it’s such an important issue. There is not yet a community consensus on the best way forward but we are on the way towards finding one.

FAREWELL GLYN CARPENTER 1942-2015 The community of Orange farewelled one of its most loved and respected citizens last week at the funeral of Glyn Carpenter. In his work as a surveyor, Glyn literally helped to build the modern city of Orange that we know today. In his earlier years, he helped survey the interior of Australia. Glyn was also a selfless and tireless community worker giving countless hours to Rotary and many other worthy causes and groups. He was also one of the founders of Orange’s Australia Day ceremonies. The eulogies at his funeral told a story of a rich and full life - highly skilled surveyor, community champion and a man devoted to his family. We were extraordinarily lucky to have him, and while he left us too soon, his contribution to Orange won’t be forgotten. Our condolences are extended to Glyn’s family.

CONTAINER DEPOSIT SCHEME ON THE WAY Many members of the community have approached me seeking the introduction of a Container Deposit Scheme. Well it’s going to happen! If the NSW Government is returned we will introduce reverse vending machines across the state as part of a cost-effective container deposit scheme for the recycling of drink containers. The plan is to roll them out by 1 July 2017 to help communities look after their local environment by being better equipped to tackle

litter and increase recycling. We will be consulting with the community and experts on the key aspects of the scheme, including: • The rewards and incentives for the community to participate in the scheme; • The location of reverse vending machines; • The scope of containers to be redeemable under the scheme; and • The role of our local councils and the recycling industry in contributing to the scheme.

With many workers losing their jobs as a result of the upcoming Electrolux closure and Cadia Mine completing projects, finding a replacement job for many of these people may not be easy. There is however, one interesting opportunity available that may suit one of these workers. The local Hire a Hubby franchise is now up for sale after the present operator decided he’s ready for retirement. Gary Morgan has been the local Hire a Hubby franchisee for several years and in that time has taken the business to among the top 15% of franchises across NSW. The business is well suited for someone with handyman skills who can run their own business. For more details, see the ad in the Business Opportunity Section of our classified pages in this issue.

he local Red Cross branch will be manning information desks and selling raffle tickets for a fundraising hamper each Thursday and Friday in Orange Central Square this month. Volunteers will also be taking donations and raising the call for more people to join in raising money, awareness and kniting ‘trauma teddies’. “Like thousands of Red Cross volunteers who worked so hard to support our ANZAC troops during the war years, Red Cross continues to care

for those who need it most,” said Red Cross Orange Secretary Rosemary Curry. “Orange is always very generous.” Some people like to regularly donate instead of buying a raffle ticket also.” Branch member Zena Clout said Red Cross Month is a time to thanks War heroes and encourage people to discover their ‘inner hero’ by giving time to help in the community. “Simply, we are a small group and we have to do what we’re capable of,” said Mrs Clout. Volunteers will be able to help anyone interested in supporting the organisation at their hamper raffle sale days. “You make a difference worldwide but also in the community,” said Ms Curry. “Our ‘trauma teddies’ are very popular with not just children but adults. And when you see someone with one, you know it’s helping.”

estival of Small Halls is a grass-roots tour that pairs a visiting international artist and a notable Australian folk group for shows in small towns and community halls. It’s a concept borrowed and adapted from the home province of Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys, designed to show off the unique character of each community and the beauty and dignity of some of Australia’s oldest community gathering places. It also takes advantage of the strong folk community in Australia, with producers Woodford Folk Festival partnering with Port Fairy Folk Festival and the National Folk Festival – where both Gordie and Australian sisterduo Siskin River will play – in delivery of this Autumn tour. Gordie and Co were last in Australia only 12 months ago for a string of Australian festivals including Woodford and Sydney Festival, and have barely slept in their own beds in Prince Edward Island since. Their amazing live show has taken them all over the world, perhaps most notably to WOMAD, Glastonbury and a rainforest festival in Malaysia, and now, to regional and remote Victoria and New South Wales. The four-piece have a reputation for the antics of their lead man – while simultaneously playing the fiddle and exhibiting an outright disregard for the physics of a double bass, Gordie MacKeeman’s thrilling ‘Crazy Legs’ dance style mixes with close-harmony bluegrass vocals, blistering guitar solos, and the lively multi-instrumental talents of Peter Cann, Mark Geddes and Thomas Webb on vocals, banjo, guitar, pedal steel guitar, double bass, percussion, mandolin and banjo.

“The walls and stages of small halls across Australia have become the hidden gems along the rough and ready trails our cultural history.’ says Jamie McKew, Director of Port Fairy Folk Festival. ‘Those halls could tell some tales! Walk into a lovely small old hall up some quiet road and you can just imagine the nights of dazzling dance moves, singing choirs, emotion and beer infused speeches. Small Halls have it all. I have danced and played bush music on many a memorable night. The Festival of Small Halls keeps that tradition alive.” The Festival of Small Halls Tour concentrates on visiting towns where communities are strong, but may not have access to high quality musical acts due to their remote locations, or lack of a suitable venue. Artists playing the Festival of Small Halls are chosen not only for the high calibre of their music, but for their enthusiasm and willingness to become part of the community for the brief time that they pass through – a perfect fit for the country halls that populate our country. The tour will be in Orange on March 17th at the Showground Pavilion. Tickets are available through www.festivalofsmallhalls. com or you can pick them up at the Orange City Life office.

LAUGH TIME An old man was wondering if his wife had a hearing problem. So one night, he stood behind her while she was sitting in her lounge chair. He spoke softly to her, “Honey, can you hear me?” There was no response. He moved a little closer and said again, “Honey, can you hear me?” Still, there was no response. Finally he moved right behind her and said, “Honey, can you hear me?” She replied, “For the third time, Yes!”

An elderly woman and her little grandson, whose face was sprinkled with bright freckles, spent the day at the zoo. Lots of children were waiting in line to get their cheeks painted by a local artist who was decorating them with tiger paws. “You’ve got so many freckles, there’s no place to paint!” a girl in the line said to the little fella. Embarrassed, the little boy dropped his head. His grandmother knelt down next to him. “I love your freckles. When I was a little girl I always

wanted freckles,” she said, while tracing her finger across the child’s cheek. “Freckles are beautiful.” The boy looked up, “Really?” “Of course,” said the grandmother. “Why just name me one thing that’s prettier than freckles.” The little boy thought for a moment, peered intensely into his grandma’s face, and softly whispered, “Wrinkles.”

Mrs. Jones had been a staple of her local congregation for many years and that is why her absence was noticed lately. The pastor decided to drop by her house to check up on her after the Sunday service. He knocked on her door and being that she’s nearly 85 it took her a bit to get to the door. “Hello, who is it?” she asked. “It’s Pastor Smith”, he answered. “OH Hi-Come in, Come in, how’s the ministry doing?” She said. “Very well, I just wanted to make sure your prayer needs are being met.”

“Oh honey, I haven’t felt well lately but I’m getting better” Just then the phone rang and she excused herself to get it. The pastor sat near a table with an old reader’s digest and a bowl of peanuts. After 15 minutes, then 20, he heard his stomach growl and began to get restless. He started in on the bowl of peanuts and began reading. After 45 minutes, he suddenly realized that he had eaten all of the peanuts. Right then Mrs. Jones returned and said, “Oh I sure am sorry, that was my sister from Pittsburgh. She only calls once per month so when she does we have to catch up on everything.” The pastor feeling a little embarrassed said “I must also apologize, for while you were gone I got hungry and ate all the peanuts in your little bowl there. Please, forgive me” he said. Mrs. Jones replied, “Oh that’s ok, without my teeth, all I can do is just suck the chocolate off of them!” she says.

HOW TO PLAY I was born on February 24, 1977 in Michigan, into boxing royalty, my father and uncle both well known in the sport. I received my first fitted gloves at seven. On the amateur circuit, I won the National Golden Glove in 1993, 1994 and 1996. I also won an Olympic bronze at the 1996 Atlanta games. I continued my winning streak as a professional, moving up weight classes four times and winning the 2007 WBC super welterweight crown against Oscar De La Hoya. I am reportedly the highest-paid athlete in the world, earning $US110 million last year. My successes have been overshadowed by my record of serial domestic abuse. I was denied a visa to enter Australia this year following lobbying from anti-domestic violence campaigners.

TORACHINI Over recent months we’ve been telling you about a hair removal product th t’s produced here in Orange. We’ve also been selling it from our office and to day over 100 jars have been sold with no complaints. It’s worth mentioning again. Torachini is a sugar substance and is the result of a secret recipe picked up while travelling in India many years ago. It was used by Indian and Arabian women who had to be completely hairless on their wedding night. Torachini is the honey-like paste which forms when sugar is heated and it can be used to remove hair in much the same way as waxing. Janet has combined the traditional ingredients and procedures

with modern efficiency and safe application techniques. The name Torachini is Hindi for “little sugar” and its natural ingredients make it completely safe for all skins. It’s especially good for removing facial hair on older women, it is less painful than waxing and moisturises the skin. The lady who makes it says “The hairs do not need to be as long as they do for waxing because the paste is able to pull out very short growth and after several treatments the hairs grow back finer and thinner”. A 250ml jar costs $20 and lasts up to four half-leg waxes. Torachini is available from our office at Suite 3/241 Lords Place and comes with a brochure that provides the instructions for use.

IN 1938 TOWNS AND CITIES AROUND AUSTRALIA CELEBRATED THE NATION’S SESQUICENTENARY. range’s celebrations were held in mid-February and this week’s photo shows part of the large parade along Summer Street. Great crowds gathered and buildings were decorated with flags and

bunting. Many school children were involved, and after the procession about 4000 Orange and district children performed maypole dancing and flag drill in Wade Park. Special trains were organised so that children from towns such as Molong and Yeoval could travel for free to Orange and take part in the activities. The Governor of New South Wales, Lord Wakehurst, visited Orange during the week to take part in the celebrations and take

the salute as a military parade passed the Orange Post Office. As part of the celebrations a tablet was unveiled in the Mulholland memorial garden and a new fernery, at a cost of £1000, was opened in Cook Park.

HOBBY KEVIN FLETCHER

CLASS OF THE WEEK My hobby is Lapidary. I specialise in working with gem stones, including faceting and cutting gem stones. I have been a part of the Orange club since 2008, having an interest in stones since I was a child but expanded on my interest after I retired. I love transforming the rough stone into a beautiful gem stone and then setting it in sterling silver so it can be worn and enjoyed. I also enjoy competing in state and national competitions and I’ve won 46 medals for my work.

rought to you by The Agrestic Grocer and Lander’s Music, ‘Classic Album Night’ is a new concept in Orange that will see local musicians playing the best albums ever made in full. The first of these Classic Album nights will feature local musician Ben McGarity playing The Beatles ‘Abbey Road’ in its entirety. “The idea is based on the ‘Album nights’ that feature at the Oxley Wine Bar in Cowra, they are really popular so we are hoping to get the same response here in Orange,” Ben said. “It’s a fantastic night out as well as an event which provides initiative to local musicans,” he

added. “we’re hoping to make this a monthly Tuesday night event—’Ruby Tuesdays” they’re to be called— depending on the interest in this first album.” The night is set to be a complete Beatles experience, with the Agrestic Grocer team set to deliver a Beatles inspired menu to compliment the music. “There will be a two course meal including dinner and dessert. It’s a Beatles inspired dining experience, think along the lines of the Beatles’ tune ‘Savoy Truffle’.’ The first Classic Album night is set for 7PM, Tuesday March 10. Tickets are $45 and include dinner and dessert. For bookings, phone The Agrestic Grocer on 6360 4604

COMMUNICATION HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY. IF I AM UNABLE TO REACH SOMEONE BY PHONE, I CAN WRITE AN EMAIL, SEND A TEXT MESSAGE, SKYPE THEM, “FOLLOW” THEM ON TWITTER, “CHAT” ON FACEBOOK OR WHILST PLAYING A COMPUTER GAME. OR IF I’M PREPARED TO WAIT, AND PAY FOR POSTAGE, I CAN MAKE USE OF “SNAIL MAIL” AND POP A LETTER IN THE POST. GLENDA PATON

ut is it a little bit too easy? Is some of the excitement taken away by the ability to gain responses almost instantly? At the height of my penpal craze, initiated by my LOTE (Languages Other Than English) teacher, I wrote to Spain, Sweden, Scotland and Malaysia as well as to my cousin in Taree, NSW. We included photos, coins to collect and learnt of cultures around the world by seeing it through someone else’s eyes. My Spanish penpal was the most prolific - we were writing letters every fortnight as that was how long it would take for the mail to go back and forth from Spain. Now the old has met the new, as I have been able to connect with my Spanish and Scottish penpals over Facebook. My Spanish penpal was helping her mother move house and came across an old letter containing my email address. On a whim, she searched

Facebook for my email address and found me. I decided to follow her lead and began searching Facebook for my penpals, and found my Scottish penpal. I enjoy seeing their updates about being a journalist in Spain and an actress in Scotland, yet it’s not quite the same as that handwritten letter in the letter box. The ability to handwrite legibly and fluently is a skill in itself that is becoming less relevant as mobile phones and laptops become more prevalent. While handwriting is still taught in schools, some students’ handwriting has become so illegible that they request to use a computer for exams such as the Higher School Certificate. Being able to produce clear handwriting for any purpose required should be given the same priority as learning to touch-type, as these skills are both necessary for life after school. I enjoy using computers and mobile phones as much as the next person, appreciating how fast I can communicate and receive a response.

What does concern me though is that many people today who have grown up with mobile phones from a young age are so used to trying to condense messages into the smallest number of characters that they often don’t realise the difference between formal and informal communication. Great teachers today are simultaneously teaching children how to communicate both informally and formally, adopting different language practices depending on the situation at hand. Writing a job application or emailing a teacher requires a different writing style than simply sending a text message to a friend. Recently Australia Post announced a 56% drop in half-yearly profit, with plans to introduce a two-tiered letter delivery system for “regular” and “priority” letters. These reforms, soon to be announced, mean that the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission will retain oversight on the pricing of the regular mail, however Australia Post will be

able to set whatever price it likes on “priority” letters, which guarantee next-day delivery in metropolitan areas (Sydney Morning Herald, 23/02/2015). The popularity of online shopping has kept Australia Post busy in recent years but they need to seek other revenue streams in order to keep the overall business profitable. Unless it’s my Reader’s Digest turning up, there’s no excitement in collecting the bills and mail addressed to the previous tenants of our house. I do appreciate the carefully folded bundles of pamphlets as even though they’re destined for the bin, as an ex-pamphlet deliverer I know how long it takes to fold them together! And postie, you’re certainly well loved in this household the arrival of the postie on his motorbike is almost as exciting as seeing the garbage truck come! Both events result in my kids running out the door and waving excitedly. I hope the postie, and letters, will be around for many years yet. Thanks Glenda!

Derek Maitland and Jan O’Neill are married partnersin-art who settled in Canowindra two and a half years ago after a three-decade international odyssey producing travel magazines and corporate video programs for some of the world’s top brand companies. Derek is a painter – producing unique artworks like “The Dude” and “My Life As A Tree” which are both headline exhibits at this month’s Age of Fishes Museum art show. Both he and Jan are also digital image artists, taking their own photography and using computer digital manipulation apps to develop them into highly creative and culturally relevant works of art. Says Derek: “Digital imagery, even though computerised, requires great skill and creativity – starting with the original photography and commanding the whole complex process through to the finished artwork. “The results reflect how striking this new-age art genre is becoming.” Derek and Jan are currently featuring their works on their Facebook page “Art Alive” –and are in the process of designing and posting an Art Alive website with galleries offering their works for sale as A3, A4 and custom-size prints on Canon matte art paper and art canvas. They are also developing their own pop-up art gallery, displaying their paintings and digital imagery, at their home in Canowindra. This Age of Fishes Museum exhibition is open to the end of April and includes hot-air balloon artworks by Derek and Jan to coincide with the spectacular annual Canowindra Balloon Challenge and Balloon Glow opening this year on Wednesday April 15.

No Secret Ingredients… Whenever my husband gets the opportunity to bake or cook dinner, he throws in a secret ingredient. Paprika is one of his favourites. Lemon or orange rind is another. When dinner is served he asks the kids to guess what might have been added to the meal. While this usually brings an eye-roll from the kids (“not again, dad!”), it provokes a lively discussion and careful taste test to see if they can figure it out. Over the years, there have been attempts by some to add extra ingredients into Christianity to spice it up and make it more attractive – good works essential

for salvation, mystical experience, rituals and rules. While adding special ingredients can enhance the dinnertime experience, Christianity is not something that can be enhanced or experimented with. The Bible teaches that it is a simple message: God freely offers friendship with Himself through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ who paid the price for our sin. This is accessed through our trust in Jesus as Saviour and Lord. No extras, no surprises. Instead, an unchanging truth over thousands of years.

ORANGE CITY CRICKET CLUB AND THE PARKVIEW INVITATIONAL XI BOTH TOOK TO WADE PARK LAST WEEKEND TO PUT TO BED ONCE AND FOR ALL, THE THOUGHT THAT PERHAPS ONE SIDE WAS NOT WHAT IT MAKES ITSELF OUT TO BE. he Warriors have a long-held relationship with the Cochrane’s and over the years that relationship has developed from friendly banter into insistent and endless sledging. The mostly humble players pay for the cold stuff that flows forth... the nastiness comes across the bar for free! It was time to sort it out on the paddock! Led out by the ‘Pipes’ the Parkview side —clad in green and gold the cheeky sods— took to the field with steely determination

in their eyes... and that was where it ended. The Warriors side —made up of players from across the grades —amassed 257 from their 30 overs, a target too great to overcome. Warriors first grade skipper Matt Findlay — embarrassed recently by his poor form and lack of technical ability – humbled the Invitational XI, facing just six balls before retiring for 25. One of the opposition side suggesting that Findlay had to retire as he rarely bats for more than six deliveries and he wouldn’t have known what to do. Harsh

but fair. The Invitational side chased hard but could only muster 218 in reply. Findlay was pleased with the performance of youngsters Lachie Coyte and Blake Weymouth, “The Warriors are in good hands if these two are anything to go by.” This scribe is told that a great day out was had by all, and that’s the most important thing...I’m also told the sledging has abated – for now. Big thanks to Bruce Cousins and to all supporters who got down to the game.

THE FOOTY’S BACK BABY! SO THIS WEEK RATHER THAN THE NORMAL GOOD, BAD AND UGLY I THOUGHT YOU’D ALL ENJOY MY SEASON PREDICTIONS FOR 2015. THE START OF THE NRL SEASON ALWAYS HAS AN AIR OF ANTICIPATION ABOUT IT. IT BRINGS HOPE. AND UNFORTUNATELY, AS THE SEASON PROGRESSES, IT CAN BRING FRUSTRATION! THE FOLLOWING IS IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER...

THE RABBITOHS The defending premiers have been impressive, winning the nines (who cares?) the Charity Shield (really? You’re going to claim that? ) and then comprehensively winning the World Club Challenge (whatevs). This absolutely wounds me to say but these guys are going to be tough to topple again this season. Amazing to see how much the rabbit warren grew upon winning the premiership last year. THE BULLDOGS The Bulldogs boast an outstanding forward pack led by their new skipper, Englishman James Graham. He is equally as harsh on his socalled team mates as his coach is on change room doors. I anticipate with some hope, a scrum misdemeanour leading to an on-field brawl fought out ONLY by the men in blue and white. I’d be ok with that and I reckon the judiciary wouldn’t mind either. THE ROOSTERS We’ll go alright, don’t you worry about that. Until Origin time when we lose both halves, both centres a winger and our inspirational hooker.

Life’s tough at the top. THE COWBOYS These guys must surely think it’s their turn. They appear to have overcome their inability to travel, have recruited very well and of course have the best half in the game. They’re going to go close this year...If the Ref’s leave them alone. THE PANTHERS Will be out to prove last year was no fluke. Have showed some good form in the trials and with their roster back to full strength, will be hunting a top four spot. This team was led well by Jamie Soward last year. Soward seems to have shaken off any of the hangover he had from his time in the big red V and looks a better player for it. THE SEA EAGLES You can’t discount them. But I’m going to. With so much disharmony about who wants to stay and who wants to go, Manly will be lucky to finish in the eight. And the rest of the Rugby League world will rejoice. THE STORM

Their ‘spine’ is still strong but nothing like it was. Not a lot of recruitment but a few losses. The Storm seem to be in a holding pattern at the moment. No chance this year. THE SHARKS Forget 2014. Have a good look at the playing roster. They have talent, experience, match-winners and grunt. If Barba fires these guys will surprise quite a few sides. I think they may find themselves in the eight. And once more, as if by magic, the fair-weather followers will appear once again. THE WARRIORS Depending on just which Warriors team turns up the most this year, they could surprise. The playing roster is strong enough to suggest they can do some big things this year. But to predict success would be punting suicide. I anticipate good things but I’ll have to see it to believe it though. THE KNIGHTS New coach, new attitude, clean slate. 2015 will see the Knights win less than they lose but they will upset some that they shouldn’t. Rebuilding at the moment but as always their supporters

TAKE A MINUTE A foursome of senior golfers hit the course with waning enthusiasm for the sport. “These fairways seem to be getting longer and longer,” said one of the foursome. “And these hills are getting steeper as the years go by,” another complained. “The sand traps seem to be bigger than I remember them, too,” said the third senior. After hearing enough from his buddies, the oldest, and the wisest of the four of them at 87 years old, piped up and said, “Oh my friends, just be thankful we’re still on this side of the grass!”

TIME FOR A LAUGH

There were 3 sisters living together 92, 94 and 95 yrs. old. The oldest went upstairs one evening to take a bath. As she was getting in the tub with one foot in and one foot out, she called down to her sisters, “Am I getting in the tub or am I getting out of the tub?” The 94 yr. old decided to go upstairs to see if she could help figure out the situation. She got to the 3rd step and stopped then called out, “Was I going up the stairs or was I coming down the stairs?” The 92 yr. old, sitting at the kitchen table, thought she better knock on wood and as she knocked on the kitchen table she said, “I hope I never get as bad as my sisters. Now was that the front door or the back door?”

will expect bigger things soon.

manage to upset a few sides.

THE TIGERS 2015 won’t be the year they challenge for a title but with so much young, fearless talent in the playing roster, anything is possible. If nothing else, the Tigers will be great to watch this season. If this current batch stays together for a few more seasons, they are going to be a very good football side. Injury management will be key for the Tige’s.

THE TITANS Their off-season drama is going to steel this club, it may even prove to be their very making but without the roster of some of the other clubs will struggle to make the eight. This club, in the area they’re in, should be in a position to recruit anyone they choose but they just can’t seem to get the mix right. The notorious Gold Coast party life seems too big a distraction even for men who consider themselves ‘professional’. I wish them well.

THE BRONCOS Two words, Wayne Bennett. Not this season though. THE EELS I like the Eels and despite losing Hayne the Blue and Golds have recruited solidly. They will be out to prove a point this season and while they may not make the top four they will be aiming for it. They will be quiet achievers this year. THE DRAGONS Still rebuilding under Paul McGregor. Won’t do too much damage this year but with Benji appearing to have regained some ‘zip’ they might

THE RAIDERS Sorry Raiders fans but I’m predicting a long season ahead for the men in Green. I’ll be happily proved wrong though; I like the Raiders. I just can’t see it happening. They simply need more money to get some big names there. Ricky Stuart has as many detractors as he does supporters and most of their recruitment deals have fallen through at the last minute. I’m predicting another spoon. So there you go people. I’m sure you’ll all let me know how ‘accurate’ you think I’ve been. Please be nice.

THE ANNUAL RONDE VAN DE NOB IS UPON US AGAIN ‘THE “RONDE VAN DE NOB” IS A 1 DAY CHARITY BIKE RIDE STARTING AND FINISHING IN ORANGE TRAVELLING THROUGH SMALLER COUNTRY TOWNS AROUND MT CANOBOLAS. THE TERM RONDE ORIGINATES FROM A BIKE RACE IN BELGIUM “THE TOUR OF FLANDERS”, WHICH THE LOCALS CALL “RONDE VAN VLAANDEREN”, (RONDE MEANING A LOOP OR LAP) HENCE OUR BIKE RIDE IS A LOOP OR LAP OF MT CANOBOLAS OR AS THE LOCALS CALL THE MT “THE NOB”.’ ast year’s event attracted 170 riders from across the state and with the emphasis on riding rather than racing, numbers are expected to rise. You can choose to do the 70km stretch or the full 175km loop. Both testing enough rides. All proceeds for the ride go toward the ‘Give Me 5 For Kids’ charity supporting the Children’s Ward at the Orange Health Service. This year, the Nob will be

supported by the St George Merida Cycling Team, now managed by former Olympic and Commonwealth medallist, Brett Dutton. After competing in the 1986 Commonwealth Games and 1988 Olympics, Brett has continued to play an active role in the cycling community. Brett will be bringing six of his riders to our fine City to compete in the race and they intend to use it as preparation for their next

campaign in Indonesia in May. “It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to get among the regional communities and use a long ride as a hard and solid training ride, with no stopping!” Brett said. In the city we’re always stopping for traffic lights etc so this hit out is ideal prep for Indonesia” He added. Included in the group of riders are U23 state champ Jordan Davies and U19 champ Declan Baker, both riders

Dutton believes have bigger thing ahead of them. When asked if he had a time in mind that he thought his team should be aiming for Dutton explained that he hadn’t “checked out the course properly yet” but explained with a laugh that his team – who often compete in the B2B (Blayney to Bathurst race) would prepare “for all weather outcomes.” “I’m told it’s a tough course,”

Orange Tenpin

BOWL

he said, adding, “It’s just an ideal chance for my guys to prepare. They know some other very accomplished riders will be there and on the day, anything is possible weather wise.” Wise words indeed. This year’s Ronde will be rolling out on the 28th March. For more information or to enter visit www. octc.org.au or contact the good team at DG Cycles.

6362 5466 www.orangetenpinbowl.com.au Hi Everyone, Jason ended up with a 10th place finish in the Qatar Open ( not a win but still a good finish). He is in Russia at the moment working on his Computer Bowling Game ( look out for this - coming out soon), then heading to Bahrain to compete before heading home for a much needed rest and family time. We here at the Orange Tenpin Bowl are so super proud of Jason and his achievements and wish him all the success for the remaining PBA season. 315 Byng St, Orange

We know that this is old news but wanted to share with you the announcement made by PBA Commissioner ‘ Tom Clark’ earlier this year when he announced Jason as the Back to Back PBA Player of the Year.

He won three PBA Tour titles in 2014 including back-to-back majors in the Barbasol PBA Tournament of Champions and United States Bowling Congress Masters. He also won the Oklahoma Open during the Grand Casino Resort Summer Swing, and led the PBA Tour in earnings, average and points..... And before saying his name as the winner of the 2014 Chris Schenkel Player of the Year Award, I wanted to point out that there are only five players to have won back-to-back PBA Player of the Year Awards: Don Johnson, Earl Anthony, Mark Roth, Amleto Monacelli and Walter RayWilliams. Fans of the sport can close their eyes and see the unique styles of each of these Hall of Fame players, and remember how they stood out for the way they delivered the ball in revolutionary ways, in ways special only to them. The next player to win back-to-back Player of the Year awards, is similar in that you can close your eyes and see his revolutionary, unique style that has shook up the bowling world and changed the game, the winner From Australia, JASON BELMONTE. Next week Jason will be back until then Be good Orange - Cheers from us all at the ORANGE TENPIN BOWL Shop in store or online Buy online

BRAINZAPZ Justin Summers walks up and down a hill which is 6 kms for a round trip. His dog being slower, walks half the speed. When Justin reaches the top of the hill he turns around and walks down meeting his dog part way. Justin continues walking to the bottom of the hill at the same speed. The dog follows him, also maintaining his original speed. How far does the dog walk? Answer in gutter to the right

October 30–November 5, 2014 45

Answer: 4 kms. When Justin reaches the top of the hill, he will have walked 3 kms, and his dog will be half way up, or 1.5kms. Justin then turns around and walks back, but his dog continues wlaking up hill until they meet. They will meet at the 2km point. The dog will turn around at thi spoint and follow Justin down the hill completing a 4km stroll.

Thumbs down to a local café for rude and blunt service. A HUGE Thumbs up to Leonie, from St George Bank. Who went above and beyond her normal duties to sort out my husband’s pay drama when his wages went missing in cyberspace recently. Not only was nothing a problem for her, she did it all immediately & with a genuine smile on her face and in her voice. Leonie, you did a “Spotless” job & you efforts were greatly appreciated. Thank You! Thumbs up to Margaret at Strandbag, this is for your boss, you’re worth more money! Awesome customer service, above and beyond thank you!

Thumbs up to Alex the nurse in the emergency department for her care of my dad and keeping us informed Thumbs down to the poor service from a local supermarket. Thumbs up to all the customers of Ashcroft’s SUPA IGA—you guys are the greatest! We thank you for your generosity and support to our charities, in particular our RSPCA and Bowen Public School cages. These donations you continuously provide are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Ian and Rochelle Ashcroft. Thumbs down to a local receptionist who didn’t keep private client details private.

Thumbs down to the person that dumped a dead horse in Cargo Common. What a low act!

Thumbs up to the owner of the top car wash for his excellent customer service, helping me with my flat tyre!

Thumbs up to Bunnings staff for helping CWA members with setting up and dismantling the Sausage Sizzle stall. Much appreciated!

Thumbs down to high school car owners who leave rubbish in the gutters after school.

Eats.

Thumbs down to this otherwise fine publication for what are passed off as ‘jokes’, I mean really? Does anyone in your office even read them before being published or are they auto generated? I’m at a loss of words to describe them. Editor: Of course they come from the internet. Some are good, some are bad but overall a lot of readers enjoy them. Thumbs down to a local business for stealing customers lay-buy materials. Huge thumbs down Thumbs up to Central West Getaways! On Friday I went to visit the hydro majestic in the Blue Mountains with Carol at Central West Getaways. A smaller group meant that it was more personal and friendly. I always travel alone and feel left out but not on Friday as we were all introduced to one another and spent the day together having a laugh. Thanks for a lovely day Carol and cannot wait to for the next trip. Thumbs Down to the lady in a 4WD who would

not stop to allow students to cross the road in Hill Street to get to the Aquatic Centre for their swimming carnival on Friday 20/02/15. P.S. There was a large group of well behaved high school students, that I stopped for to allow the students to cross and yes, it did hold up traffic, the students crossed safely. There is no pedestrian crossing in that area, maybe it’s time for the council to address this. Thumbs down to the grooms mother who uninvited the grooms Grandmother to his wedding. Thumbs up to Beau and Jay at Harvey Norman for excellent after sales service and for being very patient with an elderly customer who was new to technology. Thumbs down to political candidates who fail to remove campaign posters after an election. There is one high on a wall overlooking the Aldi car park in Peisley St that has been there since the 2010 Federal Election. Thumbs up to the staff at Berrilee Cottage who help

our elderly with compassion and humour and reassure their families about their well being constantly. Thank you all so much for your kindness. Thumbs UP to the kind person who returned our dog’s lost ID tag to our mail box. We are very grateful, thank you. Thumbs up to the lovely brunette hairdresser at Just Cuts. The end result, service and level of interaction with my 2 year old son were absolutely amazing. Best experience yet. Thumbs up to the Electricians wife on Ophir Road who kindly gave me Petrol when I ran out of fuel today. Also for the use of her phone, then trusting I would return the fuel can refilled. Nice to meet such a kind women, Thank you! Thumbs down to a local salesperson, you were very rude once you were aware that I wasn’t able to purchase that day, Your attitude to assisting us changed rapidly. I hope you choose to not take having a bad day or even a busy one at that out on your customers in the future.

Thumbs down to a local business who were only thinking of the money and not the t; the old saying you need to follow is “it’s not all about the money” Thumbs up to Steve and the team at AutoTune Orange for the work they did on my Cruze recently, it has never felt so nice to drive! Thank you for always going that extra mile Thumbs down to Orange City Council for allowing a 38 tonne footbridge to be moved on a truck legally capable of maybe 24 tonne! No wonder our roads are falling apart. Thumbs down to the impatient man in front of me at a local supermarket checkout; he packed the items he wanted to buy into the bag and then threw them down onto the floor and walked out. Thumbs up to Phil from Aidacare for his extremely professional manner. Thank you for being such a pleasure to deal with.

SALT & VINEGAR CRUMBED FISH with sweet chillli mango dipping sauce “I actually invented this dish on a fishing trip with a friend,” said Chef Matt Johnson. “We enjoyed it so much that I decided to refine it in the kitchen and offer it as a special.” The salt and vinegar Barramundi can be seen as a modern twist on the classic Fish’n’chips. “I haven’t seen anything like it around Orange,” Matt said. “It’s different and full of flavour. It’s perfect for lunchtime!” The dish is given an extra edge with delicious dipping sauce. “The sauce is made from pureed fresh mango cheeks and sweet chilli sauce, and it complements the fish perfectly. The salt and vinegar mixed with the bite of the chilli and sweetness of the mango makes it a full bodied meal.” MARCH 5–11, 2015
