January can be such a slow month can’t it, and especially when it’s compounded by the effects of a worldwide pandemic? Fortunately, in another couple of weeks when school goes back, life should be almost back to normal in O Town, won’t that be nice.
THIS WEEK’S COVER
It’s no secret it’s going to a be a very interesting year and I’m sure a lot of people, particularly business people like me, are scratching their heads over what course to take. Slow and steady, with a dash of calculated flair is the course I’ll be taking, I know no other way and I’m not one for lying down and just hoping things will go my way.

Life words of encouragement “Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.” – MARY ANNE RADMACHER
Apart from most of the regular things we do, this year we’re also going to keep chipping away with our Hearts for Orange initiative as mentioned last week, and we’re starting an all-new concept in our Newswatch newspaper called the Council Game. Being a Council election year, there’s sure to be a lot of interest and a lot of candidates come September, and we want to help with the process of sorting out who’s who. You can read more about that in my Comment in this issue. We’re also looking at a couple of new features in OC Life this year, one called Church Life where we’ll invite local churches to contribute information about events and happenings of interest to not only their members but to the general community as well. On that note, I’d be happy to hear from any local churches who would like more information on what we’re offering with that. Email me at bob@oclife.com.au with any questions etc.

John Williamson
WINDS HIS WAY TO THE ORANGE CIVIC THEATRE FEBRUARY 12 – JONATHAN ROE —
After more than half a century on the road performing across the length and breadth of the Country, Australian music icon John Williamson is looking to spend a little more time at home. Next year will see Williamson celebrate his 52nd anniversary in the entertainment industry. Ahead of this milestone he has embarked on a national Winding Back tour as way of saying farewell to his regular touring schedule. “It doesn’t mean I’ll stop performing,” said Williamson. “But certainly, I don’t intend to be hitting the road as much in the future. So Winding Back is my way of saying that I’m not going to work quite so hard.” It was 1970 when Williamson wandered into Richmond’s GTV9 studios with a guitar under his arm, little did he know that it would be the start of a 50-plus-year career. His performance of ‘Old Man Emu’, the first song John had ever written, on Channel Nine’s popular New Faces program resulted in a number one single and a record deal. Half a Century on, with 52 albums, over 5 million albums sold, thousands of shows performed, and honours including the ARIA Hall of Fame, an Order of Australia, 28 Golden Guitar Awards, and Australian Roll of Renown induction, it is easy to understand why the 75-year-old Williams is aiming for a less hectic schedule. “I’d never had more than three weeks off for the past 50 years!” said Williams, who got a taste of a slower pace of life, during the forced
hiatus due to COVID. “I hadn’t had such a break off. This property we’ve got up here — I just adore it and I’d never had a chance to be here for more than ten days, so ten months has been great. I’ve really got to know the place, we’ve got some heifers on the place now, I’ve been doing creative things and I haven’t missed being on the road at all. I’m starting to get worried that if I don’t start working soon, I’ll forget how to do it!” As a songwriter, Williams is proudly and unashamedly Australian. In November 2020, his patriotic anthem ‘True Blue’ was inducted into the National Film and Sound Archives ‘Sounds Of Australia’, recognising its significance. He said he’s found the recent border closures between Australian states upsetting and it has inspired a new song, which he will be featuring as he tours the country. “I wrote a song called ‘The Great Divide’ which I will be in the show coming up… this COVID has sort of broken the nation up a bit and I don’t like that. My music is about us being Australian; it is not about being different states. “I really get angry with people who are a bit parochial about their state or whatever. When you get around the country as much as I do, you
become proudly Australian — as a whole. I don’t like us being busted up. I was born in Victoria, created my career and fell in love with NSW as a farmer and as a songwriter and performer and now I’m living in Queensland. Australia is a huge country and there’s so much to take in, so much to be proud of. All my songs are aimed at all Australians.” While he may be winding back next year after this final tour, Williamson is far from done performing. “It is not the performing that I want to wind back it is the travelling. If I could snap my fingers and be on a stage I don’t think I’d ever stop as long as I can do the job. I thought I’d be too old to do it by now, but I don’t feel that way at all. I’ve been practicing the guitar lately and it’s still all there. As I said, as long as I can do as good a job as I expect to do, I’ll probably keep doing it — just maybe less of it.” John Williamson will be returning to Orange on Friday February 12, performing at the Orange Civic Centre. “It will be special for me to come out there, because it has been a while and it will be special because it will be green. I know there has been good rain and as an ex-farmer I find it hard to tour when there’s droughts on,” said Williamson.

INTRODUCING…. THE COUNCIL GAME 2021 is a Council Election year in Orange following the postponement last year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and if the last Orange Council election can be used as any guide, there is again going to be a lot of interest in the election, and a lot of candidates. If that is to be the case, voters will again face the prospect of not knowing who many of the candidates are, and the likelihood that several worthy candidates simply won’t get elected. We’re hoping to help with that dilemma.
Nicole sends through to us an image of where we’d rather be! What a view of the mountain, not a bad view of the beverages either..

It will also give local issues, particularly contentious or important ones, broader coverage than they have been given in the past. We’ll introduce the players in Newswatch in our January 30 issue and then the official game will start on the Saturday following the first Council meeting for 2021 in early February.
This year’s Election is scheduled for September and to make the Orange Council Election more interesting, our Newswatch newspaper has come up with a novel idea called The Council Game.
Ten of the players we invited to play have indicated that they are genuinely considering standing for Council this year and the mix we have includes people who clearly represent different interests, groups, points of view etc. It’s a good cross section of people.
Basically, the idea of the Game is to have an unofficial ‘Shadow or Pretend Council’ who will offer either the same or different viewpoints on various issues that our real Council must deal with.
For simplicity and to avoid any confusion, each player will be a ‘Mock Councillor’ - and referred to as MC “name”. We will also have a ‘Mock Mayor’ - and referred to as MM “name”.
We think it’s a clever and different way of offering commentary on Council matters, decisions, performance etc. but done by people within our community who have indicated they may stand for Council in 2021.
If any player(s) quit during the course of game for any reason, replacement(s) will be found.
Having people involved who are genuinely considering being candidates will ensure a good degree of sincerity is presented, not just loose or reckless opinions that appear so frequently on social media platforms or news sites under pseudonyms. For the Newswatch Game, we will have 12 players, 10 genuine players and two mystery players to add some “other perspectives”, one called Greater Good, the other Pot Stirrer.

participation within the general community, in the election and Council matters generally.
In our Newswatch newspaper, our City Watch has run a series of columns on How to Get the Best out of our Council and much of that was to encourage community engagement with the Council and accountability. The Council Game is the next stage to encourage greater interest and
Following each Council Meeting, a twopage spread will appear in Newswatch with comments etc. from each player. The comments will relate to an issue or issues that were discussed at the previous Council meeting. Each player’s comments will be up to 200 words and include such things as how they would have voted on the particular issue(s) and any thoughts they have on the matter(s). Of course, not all issues will be covered each time, just selected issues of particular interest. At other times, players will also be given opportunities to feature in Newswatch news items in the same way as current Councillors do now. The Council Game is something we hope will create a lot of interest and discussion, time will tell on that. Check out the launch in Newswatch on January 30.

Just for a bit of fun and bragging rights: local businesses to go head-to-head in new social bowls comp — JONATHAN ROE —
The Orange City Bowling Club is calling for local businesses to nominate a team for their new Thursday night social bowls competition. Starting next month Business House Bowls is a not-too-serious, eight-week bowls competition that will see teams of three battle it out for bragging rights and the inaugural Business House Bowls trophy. It doesn’t matter if you have even picked up a bowl before, said club director Mick Doyle, the competition is just a fun way to introduce people to the game. “Bowls is an interesting game, it is a challenge and quite often that bowl just doesn’t go where you want it to, but it is a lot of fun and you have lots of giggles on the green,” said Mick. “That’s what we are trying to give to these people — a bit of fun and I’m pretty sure once people get a little experience doing it they are going to want to come back and do some
more bowling.”
looking to expand its regular activities.
The Club has bowls for teams to use (all regularly cleaned and COVID safe) and free coaching is also available. All that is required is flat-soled shoes, but even thongs or bare feet will do.
“Some years ago, Business House Bowls was one of our popular events it was a suggestion from some of our members that we try to resurrect it,” said Mick.
“It will be good fun!” said Mick. “We are hoping that businesses will see it as an opportunity for staff to meet Thursday night after work, have a bit of fun on the greens, maybe have a drink or two and relax, just have a good time prior to the weekend.” The introduction of the Business House Bowls competition is part of a new focus on family-friendly activities for the club. Following their members rejection of a proposed amalgamation with the Orange Ex-Services Club, Orange City Bowling Club is
“We are getting a lot of member suggestion for what they think the club should do and how we can do it…a few fresh ideas which will hopefully add to a bit more variety. “Kids play equipment is something we are looking at. We have twilight bowls every Wednesday. Putt putt golf has been popular over the holiday. We are just trying to give the club more of a family focus, more things for kids to do when they come here with Mum and Dad. “And in the longer term we are looking at getting more school kids involved and

I’m a fairly inexperienced bowler, but I enjoy it and for that reason I suppose I’m keen to see other people come and enjoy it as well.” The Busines House Bowls competition will run from February 4 to 25 March with team nominations closing 28 January. “We will have a trophy that they can take back to their office and with the trophy goes the bragging rights until the next event, so it’ll be a bit of fun,” said Mick “It will hopefully be a biannual event and it may be that if people like the challenge they may take up bowls a little bit more seriously.” Contact the Orange City Bowling Club for more information or to nominate your business team.

Hallway Praise for 50 Years —MELISE COLEMAN —
On January 13, 1971- 50 years ago, Robyn James started her first day at the Orange Base Hospital. On Janurary 18, 2021, inside the Orange Health Service, corridors lined with co-workers and adorning fans, Robyn was given a surprise ceremony and some beautiful gifts to mark such an incredible achievement, COVID style, of course.
50 years later, it seems Robyn was certainly the right one for the job.
“I must say I feel the lucky one, I really do,” said Robyn. “I’ve loved every minute of working in the hospital, old and new.
“All of the meals were cooked at the hospital and they had some of the best cooks around, there were big roast dinners, peanut butter cookies for afternoon and morning tea.. or a passionfruit sponge. It was a different world in those days, back when I first began I was one of the party girls,” Robyn laughed.
“I remember getting the position, I had a baby that was needing treatment in Sydney, a friend of mine rang me and said there was a position going at the hospital and said she thought the position would suit me because it was only a few hours. I had a baby on my mind back then and had travelling to and from Sydney on my mind. I had a two-year-old and a newborn. The Manager rang me and said the position was mine, but he wanted to meet me before I started.”
“We didn’t have anywhere near the staff that we have now, we only had two resident Doctors, now we have about 90.
One of Robyn’s vivid memories to come from the Orange Base hospital was when she had the to counsel a lady who was stuck in the elevator, not an irregular occurrence apparently! “She was lying on the floor of the elevator and the fellow that was the repairman on this
particular day was in Lithgow. She had to stay there until he got back it was awful. I was ringing her and talking to her the whole time. When she came out, she said to me that she suffers from anxiety, I said to her, ‘Well, I think that you have mastered your anxiety because you handled that very well.’ The next day she came and found me with a box of chocolates,” Robyn smiled. Although Robyn is still in the position, she held 50 years ago, a Telephonist. The job itself has changed considerably. “Back in those days we used to do the ‘Admissions’ as well, everything was done by hand, then the typewriters came in, that made it a bit easier,” Robyn smiled. “When computers came in that was different again,” Robyn laughed, “To someone who isn’t that savvy on it, I go alright now.”
“When I first walked through the corridors here (Orange Health Service) I honestly thought I was in Sydney. It is just incredible. I’m proud of the service that the staff here give to the community. Its enormous. There are big demands on staff, particularly in the high traffic areas. A real lot of people come here now. So, what’s kept Robyn inspired to come to work each day? “The contact with people, I’m a big sook,” Robyn giggled. “Being around for a long time you do absorb a lot of what’s happening in the community. I’ve got a lot of very happy memories that come with this job, along with some sad ones. But also the personal satisfaction has kept me here, I never thought of leaving this place.” Congratulations Robyn!

LiveBetter’s Café Connect has raised over $2,500 for our Ronald McDonald House Orange (RMH), with 100% of proceeds staying local. With Café Connect Chef, Jamie Stewart at the helm and an avid supporter of RMH Charities (also a volunteer himself), it became a lot more personal for him and his family once his own daughter utilised RMH facilities. “LiveBetter and Café Connect have supported Ronald McDonald House for over three years now, particularly for their annual charity ball,” said Jamie. With COVID rearing its ugly head, the ball had been cancelled and Jamie and the LiveBetter team were searching for other ways to support the charity. As Christmas fast approached it was decided a DIY Christmas biscuit decorating box would likely be a hit.

between 200-300, so, 500 was a lot,” Jamie laughed. “We had all hands-on deck, so it was very much a joint effort. “We try to do our part and do as much as we can. We try to give back to the house as much as we can. “RMHC is amazing, supporting the house, being a volunteer and helping out, is completely different to using the house and its facilities and seeing what support they offer- it really is amazing, you actually see where the money and everything else is going. “Seeing it as them supporting us, it changed the way we view the charity and has made us want to help so much more.”
Everything was baked on site as volunteers, clients and the latter, pitched in to help Jamie’s efforts.
“I think we can say it far exceeded expectations,” said RMHC Executive Officer, Rebecca Walsh.
A hit it certainly was as 510 boxes were snatched up, and not only from locals. 100 boxes were sent out west to Condobolin, others to Dubbo and even Cobar- how’s that for support right around the Central West.
“It’s going to have an enormous impact for the house in supporting families. For everyone, COVID gave some extra demands from what we were doing, and we’ve had to change a lot of what we were doing at the house.
“I thought the Christmas box was a great way to encourage family activity. Though I expected

a lot, so to be able to support them with a home style cooked meal, which Jamie also did some of those emergency meals for us.. meant so much to them. “From this particular fundraiser we will focus on meals and toiletries and gift cards in terms of petrol and supermarket vouchers. Especially those families who are coming in on public transport,” said Rebecca.
...It’s going to have an enormous impact for the house in supporting families...
“Families stay with us at no cost, and we’ve been running at 100% occupancy since the beginning of the year. Often families are very, very stressed when they come to us. So, for families to know that they don’t have to put their hand in their pocket, and that we can support them in more ways than a roof over their head, to take those extra burdens off, you can see the look of relief on many- a family’s face when they come through the front doors of the house.” “The level of support has just been amazing, from in-kind donations to volunteer uptake, to the monetary donations, has just been phenomenal, people have been so very generous, and we cannot thank them and LiveBetter’s Café Connect, enough.

C Y C P t a s l l i k S e f i L g n i n r a e L — MELISE COLEMAN — In the very midst of their School Holiday Program, PCYC Orange hosted a Karate themed dress up day, with students really getting into the spirit of things. Rachel Crawford spent the day teaching students some handy karate techniques and delving into some very cool self-defence basics, which were portrayed as real-life scenarios. Knowing what to do when approached by a stranger or how to call for help can be a life-saving skill! We were very impressed by the knowledge and attentiveness of the students! Well done to all.

Potential for Wonderful Parklands for Orange
Gather your friends and fa m the glorious Bloomfield P ily to join others at arklands at the old Golf Course, Forest Road for a SUMMER PICNIC DAY
FROM 11AM, SUNDAY 24 JA
NUARY
Bring your frisbee, kite, ba ll or cricket bat and experie nce the beautiful shade and open vistas, play som e hide and seek and spread out your picnic rug. While you’re there, imagin e the potential of enhancin g this space over time to create Orange’s answer to Central Park in New York , or Centennial Park in Sydney. Bike paths, mor e native trees, intelligent succession planting to eventually replace the old pine trees, events and fest ivals. This could be another jew el to attract visitors who love Orange’s tree and green spaces. It could be wonderful!
BUT... did you know? We currently stand to lose this amazing opportunity if Orange City Council proceeds with the DA to remove 513 trees. (www.orange.nsw.gov.au/development-application-on-exhibition-friday-11-december-2020-to-friday-5-february-2021/)
The proposed sports stadium for the site could be relocated to another site, (as originally intended) then Orange could have two amazing outdoor places instead of destroying one to gain one. To preserve and grow this potential parkland, it’s important that residents put in a submission to Council opposing the tree removal and quote DA 464/2020(1) (www.orange.nsw.gov.au/making-a-submission). This can be as simple as a list of points or a single paragraph and you can do this by post to David Waddell CEO at: Orange City Council PO Box 35 Orange NSW 2800 or by email to: council@orange.nsw.gov.au or drop directly into Council. Hand-written is fine! It needs to be done by 5 February, so TODAY would be an excellent day to do it!
See you on Sunday 24 January for a picnic day! For more information follow Futuring Orange on facebook

YOUR LOCAL
COUNCIL AT WORK Council announces two systems for bulky-waste disposal available to Orange residents Orange Aquatic Centre to host swimming championships and offer free entry on Australia Day Entry to Orange Aquatic Centre will be free to all on Australia Day after the celebrations in Cook Park wrap up. The Orange Aquatic Centre will be open from 12pm to 5pm on Australia Day and weather permitting, all inflatables including the 22.5 metre obstacle course will be up and running. The offer of a free day at the pool was a decision by Orange City Council made in December. The free day follows a closure of the pool to the public on the weekend of the 23rd and 24th of January to host the NSW Country Regional Swimming Championships attended by about 450 swimmers from across the state. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said it was a boon to the local economy to host the Championships. “The championship brings 450 swimmers, their parents as well as a range of officials which equates to about 900 people coming to Orange,” Cr Kidd said. “That’s 900 people paying for accommodation, shopping at our local businesses, eating out and bringing our retailers a much needed postChristmas boost.”
Orange residents have two more convenient ways to get rid of bulky household items no longer needed as the dates for the kerb-side bulky-waste pick-up, and a free dropoff voucher system for the Resource Recovery Centre are announced. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said in addition to a kerb-side, bulky- waste collection scheduled to occur on set dates in the coming weeks, residents could also pick-up a voucher from Council’s customer service desk to take a ute load, or a box trailer load of household items to the Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre for free, on any day until June 30, 2021. “Residents have already paid for a household bulky-waste collection service, which will occur in the next few weeks as part of their rates during this financial year,” Cr Kidd said. “This was a decision of the Council made earlier in 2020, and was championed strongly by Councillors Romano and Preveteria. “That bulky-waste collection will occur in the next few weeks from Sunday January 31, if you live east of Anson Street. If you live west of Anson Street your bulky-waste collection service will occur from Sunday February 14. “Please only put household items out for collection on these set dates, staff will only visit each property once.
or about the size of a standard (6’ x 4’) level box trailer.
The voucher scheme was established following a notice of motion from Cr Kevin Duffy.
Please ensure:
“The voucher scheme means people can clean-out their sheds or garages at a time which is convenient to them,” Cr Duffy said. VOUCHER SYSTEM EXPLAINED: The vouchers will be available for collection from Council’s customer Service desk from January 18. Each Orange residence is allowed one voucher. Residents collecting a voucher must provide a proof of address from a residence in the Orange Local Government Area. The voucher allows a person from each residence to dispose of one ute load of household items, or 6 x 4 trailer load for free, any day before June 30, 2021. Any hazardous waste such as asbestos is not included in this voucher system and will be charged at a normal rate. KERBSIDE HOUSEHOLD BULKY WASTE COLLECTION EXPLAINED: One collection of bulky-waste will occur from each Orange residence. Once the collection has been done, staff will not return to collect any further items put out. The timing of your bulky waste collections depends on the same ‘Week A / Week B’ yellow-bin recycling collection calendars, which are generally based on your location compared to Anson Street. • If you live east of Anson Street, please place your bulky waste out on Sunday 31 January.
• Items must be of manageable size for two people to lift (Max 30kg) • Loose items must be tied securely with rope or string (not wire), into bundles or contained in sturdy boxes. So that we can recycle as much of the bulky waste as possible, three trucks will come by each address at about the same time. Please separate your waste into: • metal items • whitegoods • and other bulky waste Here is a list of possible items which will be taken away: • Household appliances and whitegoods • Scrap metal—lawn mowers, wheelbarrows, barbeques, bicycles, hot water systems • Tins and drums (empty) • Pottery, ceramics and chinaware • Household bulky waste items Here is a list of bulky waste items which will NOT be taken away: • Materials that are more than 2 cubic metres • E-Waste– • E-Waste are products such as TVs, computers, monitors etc. Basically “technology’ products. • Mattresses • Mirrors, glass tabletops, window panes and glass sliding doors • Material suitable for putting in the resident’s regular waste bins —eg. food scraps, green waste, recyclables and household garbage • Asbestos or fibro • Trade, industrial and shop wastes • Cement bags and sawdust • Insulation batts • Motor vehicles, engines and car parts • Building and demolition materials, concrete and bricks, tiles, fencing or plumbing fixtures • Large carpet rolls
• Gas bottles and fire extinguishers • Prunings, branches, garden vegetation, large tree trunks and thorny bushes • Hazardous waste • Batteries • Tyres • Fuels or oils • Liquids or paint Please do not put out any of these items for your bulky waste collection. These items will not be taken away and you will be responsible for removing them from outside your home. Some of these items, such as e-waste and oils can be taken for free to your Community Recycling Centre. Check the council web site for more details www.orange.nsw.gov.au/waste
FAQs: Q: Do I need to make a booking for a kerbside collection? A: No. The kerbside bulky waste collection will occur once, during a two-week period. The timing of your bulky waste collections depends on the same ‘Week A / Week B’ yellowbin recycling collection calendars, which are generally based on your location compared to Anson Street.
Orange City Council’s Sport and Recreation Committee Chair Jason Hamling said the pool would be open to the public for early morning lap swimming on the Saturday from 5.30am to 7.45am.
“On top of the household bulky waste collection service, each Orange residence is entitled to one voucher which allows a person to take a ute load, or a box trailer load of household items to the Ophir Road Resource Recovery Centre, on any day, until June 30.
“Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 restrictions placed on the centre, we can’t accommodate the general public for recreational swimming on that weekend,” Cr Hamling said.
“We’re doing this to make the service available to as many residents as possible. We know not everyone has access to a ute or trailer and we know not everyone is
“We’re lucky in our part of the world we have beautiful Lake Canobolas with its beach which is also available for swimming and will certainly be available the weekend of the 23rd and the 24th of January.
Improved footpath lighting increases community safety
The event is being run to comply with all government requirements to ensure it is a COVID-19 safe event.
“Orange Aquatic Centre hours will be back to normal after that weekend and we’ve seen a great response from kids on school holidays to the large inflatables we’ve had set up at the centre nearly every day. “With the weather warming up after a fairly cool start to summer, it’s great we have this wonderful facility which can accommodate the needs of all ages and skill levels. “The annual Australia Day celebrations in Cook Park will wrap up at about midday on January 26, which is perfect timing for the opening of the pool on that day. “We will have a 5 metre slide inflatable in the diving pool, weather permitting, the 22.5 metre obstacle closure as well as a range of smaller inflatables in the indoor 25 metre pool. “It’ll be a great family fun day and I hope many people can make it out to the park to congratulate our Citizens of the Year and our newest Australian citizens and then swing by the pool for a cool-off.”
JANUARY 21—27, 2020
• If you live west of Anson Street, please place your bulky waste out on Sunday 14 February. The collection will occur at any time during the two weeks after this date. There will be only one collection from your address. Once your bulky waste has been collected, please do not put out more waste. It will not be collected again. The volume of waste collected from any one property must be less than two cubic metres
in Glenroi Oval, Edye Park and Margaret Stevenson Park. Five-metre-high Electric LED sensor lights were installed in Elephant Park and one-metre solar-powered, motionsensor bollards were installed at the footpath from Myora Place to Algona Crescent.
Footpath lighting has been improved in several areas around Orange in a bid to increase community safety. Glenroi Oval, Edye Park, Elephant Park, Margaret Stevenson Park and the footpath from Myora Place to Algona Crescent received additional lighting. The improvements were delivered with $471,681 in funding from Stage 2 of the Australian Government’s Safer Communities Fund, which supports councils and community organisations to reduce crime and antisocial behaviour by funding crime prevention and security initiatives. New CCTV cameras in these and other areas, and upgrades to existing cameras were also included in the funding and had already been installed. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said the locations were identified through a community safety audit in consultation with local police, businesses and community members, Council committees and non-government organisations. “Lighting, limited surveillance and low use of poorly lit areas were highlighted as major contributing factors for increased anti-social behaviour in these areas,” Cr Kidd said.

LIGHT THE WAY: Member for Calare Andrew Gee and Orange Mayor Reg Kidd discuss the new footpath lighting at Glenroi Oval.
The solar lights were chosen to save on energy costs in areas where there was plenty of open space, while the tree canopy in Elephant Park meant electric lights were needed.
“This funding will provide increased safety in five locations where local residents, government and non-government agencies are working tirelessly to improve safety in their communities.”
The motion sensors detect movement, increasing the lamp’s output as pedestrians approach and dimming as they pass, ensuring maximum output when required while still providing ambient light and saving power when full output is not necessary.
Community Safety and Crime Prevention Community Committee Chair Jason Hamling said the project provided the infrastructure to create a safer environment for residents. “The project is expected to reduce criminal activity in the area, while improved safety infrastructure will enable use of the areas at night, with more opportunities for community projects and activities to build neighbourhood pride and harmony.” Five-metre-high motion-sensor solar lights were installed
Member for Calare Andrew Gee congratulated Orange City Council on its delivery of this vital project. “These critical upgrades ensure that if you are eight or eighty, residents and tourists will feel safer to be out,” Mr Gee said. “The Safer Communities Fund provides funding to address crime and anti-social behaviour through the implementation of crime prevention and security initiatives such as CCTV and lighting. The Australian Government has made $180 million available under the Fund since 2016-17.”

I think it’s the sort of poetry that anyone can read, it’s got a rhyme, it’s got a rhythm and it tells a story. ‘I always look forward to the poetry competition, it shows originality, the diversity of the way people can put words together. There’s quite a range and it’s all good family entertainment.” The performance competition will be held on Saturday morning 20 February at the Orange Ex Services Club. The Molong Advancement Group is

I’ve been working in financial services since 2002, so I’ve seen a few financial crises during those two decades and in that time, I’ve learnt a lot. Not only a lot about how investment markets work, but also how human emotions work. With all the craziness going on at the moment, many people are understandably concerned about their retirement savings. Sadly, many people are making the wrong decisions in how to deal with this crisis, acting on emotion and not realising the long-term implications of their decisions. I love helping people get their financial futures on the right track but also helping them make sure they don’t derail from that track when the going gets tough. I can guarantee you this won’t be the last time we see dark economic times… in fact, I guarantee all my clients there will be times when their money will go down. Moments like these are a good opportunity to remind my clients why their money is invested the way it is. Many people will be finding themselves simply sitting in

a ‘balanced’ fund within their superannuation. This can be particularly dangerous for those in the retirement risk zone, that is, five years either side of retirement. As you move closer to retirement, at retirement and during retirement, it’s important to put some strategy behind how your retirement savings are set up. A retiree with all their money sitting in a balanced investment option in retirement would mean that right now they are being forced to sell shares at the worst possible time in order to meet their income needs. Sadly, many people are flooding super fund call centres to move all of their super savings to cash, robbing themselves of seeing their money recover when things go back up again… which they will! A better strategy is to break up retirement savings into short, medium and long term ‘buckets’ to ensure that when something like this happens, there is no need to be selling out of growth assets (i.e. shares and property) while they are down. This type of strategy ensures

The older the better — JONATHAN ROE —
Collector Michael Young has a passion for the early days of engine innovation.
“It’s hard to actually put your finger on one, but I do have favourites here,” says Michael Young of the 20 or so large antique combustion engines that crowd his backyard shed and workshop.
parents no end!” he says.
“They’ll usually be the earlier more interesting ones, but that might not be obvious to somebody else. Sometimes it’s how they sound when they run or other times it’ll be because of the effort I’ve put into it, something I’ve made a lot of parts for, that I slaved over. So the engines you put a lot of work into can become your favourite, just simply because you were so absorbed in getting it going.”
“It was a long while after that… we went to a steam fair at a place called Lake Goldsmith and I was just so taken back by all these old engines — these were steam traction engines and farm engines and old tractors and all sorts of things. I thought wow! That’s amazing! And probably about a year later, I saw an old engine at a junk shopping in Ballarat and that was the beginning…
Growing up on a farm near at Boomey near Molong, Michael says he was always interested in engines and used to tinker with lawn mowers and old motorbikes.
“And a fairly expensive sort of start, because I probably paid by too much for that, but I ended up tinkering with it and getting it going and that just sort of started the lot and it’s just grown and grown and grown.”
“I didn’t have the money or the skill to do anything with them, so all of it got sold on again, but I think that’s where it came up. I like them because they were old, and I’d bring them home and probably used to annoy my
It wasn’t until years later, after completing a science degree, starting a family and while working as a geologist in Victoria, that Michael interest in old engines was again reignited.
The engines Michael collects are all stationary combustion engines used on farms. “There’s no modern equivalent really, but in the days before electrification, farmers needed
a form of motive power to drive machines — shearing sheds, saw bench, pumps, whatever it was — and that was provided by station engines. So electric motors are used now and you don’t really notice. because they are hidden away and not that exciting really.” But the engines of the early 20th Century were a brand-new technology, and it is the unusual innovations and variations between them that make them interesting, says Michael.
“In the 1890s steam engines ruled the world, they were the source of industrial power anywhere in the world and so internal combustion engines were the new technology that was coming in… And like when computers came in, there’s all these different standards. Everybody was doing their own thing and there’s lot of different designs; the English had their way of doing things; the Americans had their way of doing things and the Australians had their way of doing things. “You’ll see that with engines all made around
the same time, that are widely different, but yet have the same horsepower and might have been doing the same sort of work. It’s amazing.
The majority of engines in Michael’s collection were made prior to 1920 and one most likely pre-1900. While some collectors are fairly narrow in their focus, seeking out engines from particular countries of or single manufacturers, Michaels is (a little) less particular. “Like any hobby — collecting stamps or cars — people can get very focused on a particular type. I tend to be fairly broad, everything before the 1920s is potentially of interest… But I prefer large engines over little ones. They’ve got to be reasonable sized to be of interest,” he says. “I’ve got about 20, but it’s not going to get much bigger… Living in town there is a limit to how much you’re allowed to have in your yard before people start saying things — They’ve probably already started saying things!”

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY
Dust storms seem to have played a large part in the climatic history of Australia since the beginning of the 20th century and possibly even before.
1960s,” said Jeff. “There must have been 6 or 7 inches and, because it was so still, the snow lay heavily on the power lines and brought a lot down.” This caused quite a bit of chaos and Post Office technicians were required to work in freezing and often dangerous conditions repairing the lines.
On Monday,16th October, 1944, “dust enshrouded outback towns, thick enough for lights to be turned on in the morning”. Further storms followed at 5 day intervals, continuing into the New Year. It was enough to raise, in a war weary country, the thought that preventative measures had to be taken. The dictionary tells us that: “A dust storm is a meteorological phenomenon common in arid and semi-arid regions. Dust storms arise when a gusty front or other strong winds blow loose dirt from a dry surface.” Well, yes, agreed the Oral History group this month when confronted with this impersonal definition, but it doesn’t tell you how it REALLY is. And they went on to tell me what it felt like to actually experience that particular occurrence. “A dust storm was always preceded by a long drought and heavy winds,” Russel told us. “They were very prevalent out west in the 1940s. At about 2.30, the sky would be like midnight and alt-hough we blocked the windows, the dust still seeped in, and after it left, it all had to be cleaned up. Mum finally decided to leave it all until next time. “At Condobolin the dust storms were terrifying ,” said Leslye, “It would get very quiet and still and the sky looked as if the end of the world was coming and then - whoosh, red dust everywhere!” “We had a bad dust storm at Cargo when I was a child,” Barbara . “ We lived in a very old house with a hessian
“In the big snowfall of 1966,” said Tom. “The Bourke mail train, which used to leave Dubbo at 8pm, was stuck in particularly heavy snow at Eucharina and could go no further. The 200 people on board eventually were rescued by buses.”
Snow & dust storms
The summer of 1944/45 was especially noteworthy, as years of drought had dried out the inland.
ceiling. The dirt got too heavy for it and the hessian collapsed and dumped years and years of dust right on to our heads. The house was thick with red dust.” Joan had grown up in the city and was unused to such calamities. “We had just bought a property near Grenfell in 1982 and were in the middle of a drought. My husband was recovering from surgery and was not very well. I looked out the window and saw something big and brown bowling in from the west and had no idea what it was until it arrived and covered everything in dirt.” Elma was well used to dust at Narromine, as was Jan,who was a small child living between Broken Hill and Menindee, when she experienced her first dust storm. “I remember the dust stinging on my legs and the imprint of my head on the pillow when I woke up.” Margaret , who grew up in Gulargambone, and whose father ran the general store, has memories of the dust storms in the 1920s and 30s. “I loved the dusty smell as it rolled in. You could see it coming across the cemetery about
The points in the Orange rail yard often froze under the snow and had to be melted using hot water from the engine. There were problems too with train wheels slipping on the rails in icy conditions, especially in the high country and a sanding device was fitted to the engine to counteract this .
a mile away and we would run to close up the four front glass doors of the shop,” she said. “One Christmas Eve we came upstairs and we wrote ‘Happy Christmas’ in the thick dust on the dining room table. I can still see the dried briars blown against the fences and rolling down the unsealed Main Street.” Snow, of course , is quite a different experience. On July 5th July,1900, it was reported that “around 90cm of snow fell in the Blue Mountains and the Tablelands, with “chaos resulting, railway traffic paralysed, passengers shut in carriages and telegraph wires down everywhere.” The years 1959, ‘60, ‘62 were very cold with snow, but on July 17th and 18th 1965, one of “the heaviest and most widespread snowfalls on record fell across the Central Tablelands.” These falls seemed to continue right up until the turn of the century and perhaps are in direct correlation with the increase in population and growing use of cars, air conditioning and fuel. As usual, the Oral History group was willing to share its memories of snow.
The group agreed that, although it looked delightful, snow brought with it a few headaches, especially in the days before electric blankets, and when heating can be delivered with the flick of a switch. John is another member of our group with specialist knowledge of natural disasters having been involved professionally with disaster relief in NSW, particularly in agricultural areas. He has experi-ence in arrangements for dealing with plagues, floods and fodder drops to starving stock. “I was also involved with preparations for natural disasters and how we should respond as individuals,” he said. “I’m not sure if the frequency of disasters has changed but I think the severity has because of the increase in population. We’ve only had about 150 years of weather recording which is an infinitesimal amount, so we really don’t know what is normal.” This was a rare discussion which did not end with a longing for ‘the old days’. We feel fortunate that some of those
remembered experiences are well and truly in the past.

Aretha Franklin – ACTI VIST, LEGEND.
SINGER, SONGWRI TER, Australia was so separated from the rest of the world musically during the 50s and 60s that most Antipodeans didn’t know much about many of the great US soul singers of the era. The discovery by Australians of this irresistible music mostly came in retrospect.
While she was growing up, Aretha’s father built a reputation for fiery sermons, bringing positive attention from many high-profile regular visitors to the Franklin household.
But some of the true megastars of the genre did break through on Australian radio.
Dr Martin Luther King was one of those, while legendary singers Sam Cook and Jackie Wilson also often called by.
The likes of Otis Redding, Smokey Robinson and James Brown were too big to ignore.
It was inevitable that the caliber of singers Aretha was socializing with would have a positive and long-lasting influence.
Then in 1967 along came a song called “Respect” by Aretha Franklin, which went on to peak at number 7 in Australia. Aretha was the daughter of a Baptist Minister in Detroit, so was perfectly placed to develop her art and her social conscience. Like so many Americans of African descent, the civil rights movement came to be a dominant part of Aretha’s life in the 60s and beyond. As her commercial success grew, so did her financial support for civil rights groups and causes, putting her money where her ideals were. Women’s rights were also close to her heart with 1968s “Natural Woman” and 1985s “Sisters are Doin’ It For Themselves,” (which was recorded with The Eurythmics) leaving no misunderstanding where she stood. Aretha’s life was thrown into turmoil very early on in life when her mother, Barbara, and father, Clarence split up due to his numerous extra-marital affairs. Her mother saw the children regularly after the split, but then when Aretha was 9 years old, Barbara died of a sudden heart attack. 28
Aretha was already in the care of Clarence, Grandmother Rachel, and legendary gospel singer Mahalia Jackson.

But despite signing at the age of just 18 with a major record company in 1960, her chart success didn’t arrive until she switched to Atlantic Records several years later. From there, “Respect,” “Natural Woman,” “Chain of Fools,” “Think,” and “I Say a Little Prayer” were all hits in the US. But of those, only “I Say a Little Prayer” made it to the Australian top 40, where it peaked at number 3 in 1968. In the 70s her albums became huge sellers in the US on almost every occasion which helped maintain her profile. But in Australia her singles chart success ground to a halt for a time after her 1971 top 10 selling hit “Spanish Harlem.” Then in 1980 came the cameo movie appearance that made her most recognizable to Australian audiences all over again, “The Blues Brothers.” Despite only having a small part, her re-recording of “Think” was a highlight of the movie. As a result, the 80s saw Aretha score 5 top 10 hits in Australia, with the biggest being the 1987 number 1 “I Knew You Were Waiting.”
So where does Aretha sit among US music legends? Well, President Barak Obama said the following in 2015: “Nobody embodies more fully the connection between the African-American spiritual, the blues, R & B, rock and roll — the way that hardship and sorrow were transformed into something full of beauty and vitality and hope,” he said. “American history wells up when Aretha sings. That’s why, when she sits down at a piano and sings ‘A Natural Woman,’ she can move me to tears… the view from the bottom as well as the top, the good and the bad, and the possibility of synthesis, reconciliation, transcendence.” Not just beautiful and insightful words, but also a statement of her multi-level importance to so many Americans. Accolades also show where an artist landed in the scheme of things, and Aretha’s honour roll is one the best. National Medal of Arts, Presidential Medal of Freedom, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, UK Music Hall of Fame, Gospel Music Hall of Fame, Rolling Stone number one “100 Greatest Singers of All Time”, a Pulitzer Prize special citation, National Women’s Hall of Fame, Hollywood Walk of Fame, Grammy Legend Award, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Kennedy Center Honoree, and National Medal of Art. She was also a singer others wanted to emulate. Her fear of flying restricted her to mainly North American concerts, but she visited Australia in 2013. Aretha died in 2018. The funeral was attended by America’s greatest and best, paying tribute to the Queen of Soul.

Spirit: a retrospective 2021 is a powerful collection of dance stories chosen from Bangarra’s 31-year repertoire. Featuring the full Bangarra ensemble of 18 dancers, Spirit draws from a selection of the company’s most celebrated works, comprising of Brolga (Corroboree), Black (Ochres), Yellow (Ochres), Dingo (Skin), White (Ochres), Moth (Bush), Two Sisters (Bush), The Call (Walkabout), and In her Mind (Nyapanyapa). Tracing an unbroken songline, the works unravels a sacred world of plants, animals, and ancestral medicine, laid down one step at a time.
The works of Spirit are choreographed by the multi award-winning choreographer Stephen Page, along with Bangarra Associate Artistic Director Frances Rings, Bernadette Walong-Sene and Djakapurra Munyarryun, and the late Russell Page. The atmospheric score for Spirit was composed by the late David Page, Bangarra’s long-time music director and prolific composer, and Steve Francis, an award-winning composer for film, television, theatre, and dance.
Set to a haunting score, Spirit invites audiences to connect with stories and songlines drawn from all over Australia, in a celebration of First Nations Peoples’ unbroken connection to the land.
