Time for another weekly dose of Orange City Life, I hope it gives you a lift.
Hearts for Orange is a Regional Life Group initiative, but it has not set out to make any profit, we’re doing it for the City. It’s an initiative that should also be embraced and supported by other organisations, including and especially our Council, but I suspect that for all sorts of feeble reasons, none that would make any commercial sense, our Council and others to date have shunned us and gone off on other less productive tangents. Despite this we’ll keep at it. Our Newswatch newspaper is also trying to provide our City with some quality content about issues that matter to thinking and caring people, not the usual social media style of news and comment that many publications adopt these days. Of course, what we’re doing doesn’t please everyone, but if the day ever arrives when we’re expected to please everyone, that’ll be the day when we’ll shut it down. Our new Council Game concept in Newswatch is also intended to help make it easier for us all to make good and wise decisions come local election time in September. Until next week, go well everyone!

Catherine Caldwell’s LOVE OF STEEL — JONATHAN ROE —
“I just feel I’ve found my thing,” says Catherine Caldwell. “You know, I just love working with metal.”
“So it started there with both of us together and I love it!”
Orange City Life got in touch with Catherine after spying her welded steel sculpture of a dancer in the Orange Regional Gallery’s HERE/NOW Exhibition, which features a diverse range of work from 130 professional and amateur local artists.
Both the piece in the HERE/NOW exhibition and that submitted to Mudgee last year are of dancing figures, a theme repeated in works around Catherine’s home and garden.
“I’ve got to go back and have a much closer look,” says Catherine of the exhibition. “I love that there were such different mediums — mosaics, the differences in painting styles, and the other sculptures were beautiful too.” Exhibiting her own work is not something Catherine has had a tendency to do, she tells me. But after being convinced by a friend to submit a piece for Mudgee’s Sculptures in the Garden last year, Catherine’s “Ava” was given the People’s Choice Award. “That was heartening!” says Catherine. “And I thought well, maybe I should keep going… and so now I haven’t stopped really.” It was only just three years ago that Catherine first picked up a welding gun. Art and sculpture was something she’d done in High School, but between work and raising five children there’d been little time for much else.
...I just feel I’ve found my thing,” says Catherine Caldwell. “You know, I just love working with metal...
4 FEBRUARY 11 — 17, 2021
“I’m just now sort of dabbling in something that I’ve always wanted to get to,” she says. “My husband and I, we’ve raised five children and we’ve been pretty busy! We have only just become empty nesters and, not that I wish them to go, but for the first time I’ve been able to spend a bit more time doing art, just something that I’ve been busting to do. “It was my friend Jenny, she asked me if I would attend welding classes with her at TAFE… We were surrounded by young guys doing trades and I was sort of lassoing these guys going past into my welding bay to make sure I was going to blow everyone up!
“I don’t know how I started out doing dancers, but I just love watching the fluidity of dance, it’s beautiful art form. I started off doing one dancer and that sort of triggered ideas for other types of dance sculptures, but I plan to get off the dancing theme,” she says. “I’ve been sort of curious about wanting to try some other forms like I love abstract contemporary pieces…. So I’m wanting to do something different, keen to try something new.” Catherine’s workshop is home to numerous bits of old steel farm equipment and odds and ends she has accumulated over the years. “I love the textures in the old metals; you don’t see that in the new metal. I have always appreciated the textures that you see in nature… I’m not afraid to be imperfect, because I don’t want to manufactured looking piece. I love all the irregularities and the intersections. It is why I love working with metal.” When asked if she would like to put on her own exhibition, Catherine says that’s not really why she does what she does. “I’ve been asked that by quite a few people of late, but this was only ever meant to be a pastime… I’m looking forward to retirement and having something that I can do, that I love to do! I find it really relaxing to go to the shed and just immerse myself in creating a piece, but, no, exhibitions haven’t really entered my head — that’s not what I set out to do. “We’ve been busy with family, busy working, but now we’re pulling back and doing stuff that we love to do.”

Last week I mentioned a new radio show called The Hearts for Orange Show which starts today on FM 107.5 from 10.30am. If you’re reading this in time, you might like to tune in, otherwise put it in your diary for next Thursday and each Thursday after that. It’s should be a bit of fun each week. One of the things I alluded to last week and will also be mentioned during the radio show each week is what we’re calling “Work Alert”. This is another new Hearts for Orange initiative that we’re hoping the community will support, it’s all about the community helping our Council keep Orange beautiful. Basically, we’re encouraging you to report anything that you notice that needs attention around our city, and to make it more interesting, we’re going to reward someone each week with a $50 Gift Voucher to spend at Ashcroft’s Supa IGA. We’re not talking major projects but just basic maintenance issues that help keep our City beautiful, things like a street sign that might be missing or damaged, a park bench that needs a coat of paint, maybe a dangerous tree limb. Put simply, it’s like a community spotter program where we’re encouraging the community to let us know what things need attention, things that may not have been reported to our Council for attention. Hearts for
Orange will then pass them on to the Council for their to do list. To give you an example, a couple of weeks back, I noticed one of the small Council signs near some of the fitness equipment in Elephant Park had been ripped out by a vandal and thrown into the nearby creek. I reported this to Council and within a week or so, it was put back where it belonged. If I hadn’t noticed this and reported it, it may have gone unnoticed by Council for quite some time. It makes you feel good too, when you do report something like this and then see it done. I should point out that the spirit of Work Alert is simply to help our Council be made aware of things that need attention more quickly than they may otherwise, it’s not meant to be critical of Council or anything else, but rather to help them. I’m sure there’ll also be things that unless someone points them out, Council may never know about them. You don’t have to listen to The Hearts for Orange radio show to be part of Work Alert, the details you need to report something and enter are on our Competition page from this issue. Let’s see how we go with this over the next few weeks and I’ll report back to you on the good, the bad and the ugly as to whether it proves to be a good idea or not.

Turning Passion
into Action — MELISE COLEMAN —
Justin Reid has donned the boxing gloves on and off since he was 13 years old, and it was the efforts of his close mates and PCYC that created the love for the sport he has today. 22 years later, Justin is the new PCYC Orange Boxing Coach. “I took my first boxing lesson when I was 16 years old and it was at PCYC here in Orange (when it was at its old location in Byng Street)” said Justin. “I also had a lot of mates that came here.
everything, strength and cardio. The basics of it are still there, but the sport is always evolving.”
“I initially followed a mate, Ben Quarmby then I got hooked on it. I watched him turn into the awesome fighter he was and that inspired me to really try.”
Whilst it wasn’t always smooth sailing Justin admitted, he’d never expect years later he’d walk into the PCYC halls and be ‘Boxing Coach’. At a young age Justin was told he was a ‘lazy’ by his own coach, evidently, it seems it sparked his fire.
Justin has competed in many boxing tournaments, and has trained in Mixed Martial Arts and Brazilian Jujitsu, though boxing is evidently his true passion.
“I got a bit bummed out about that and didn’t come back for a while.. But as I grew up it made me think if I really wanted to give it a good crack, I’d have to get into it, and so I did.
“Boxing is definitely my number one sport, I always come back to it.. this is what I love to do. It’s the best sort of fitness, it works
“The sport has taught me a lot. It’s saved me from a lot of things, growing up I got into a lot of trouble. ‘This’ (boxing), has always given

I don’t want to go out on the weekend and be irresponsible, I want to be in the gym and staying fit.” PCYC Orange Manager Jaime Wenban was eager to bring Justin into the PCYC family. “Jaime gave me the opportunity here and I’m very appreciative of it. This is by far the best job I’ve ever had,” Justin beamed. “If you want to come to a gym that has a great culture, that’s friendly, that facilitates all ages, from young to elderly.. come to PCYC, get fit and learn technique, it’s an amazing place.”

‘Limited Edition’ running festival locked in for March — JONATHAN ROE —
Save the date! The Orange Running Festival is set to proceed next month in a ‘Limited Edition’ format. With event numbers restricted by COVID safety requirements, the committee have had to pare back events into a smaller program that will be held at Gosling Creek Reserve on Sunday 7 March. The 2021 Limited Edition Orange Running Festival has unfortunately had to remove the marathon and half marathon from the program, in their place there is a Men’s 6 kilometre race, a Women’s 6 kilometre race and a 2 kilometre Junior Dash for the kids. The normally two-day program of events has been reduced to a single day. “And numbers are very limited,” said publicity officer Will Miller. “Registrations will close the day before, Saturday

Last year’s Orange Running Festival was the largest in its history, drawing competitors from Sydney, Canberra and all over the Central West.
“We’re just getting enough to cover us and have a fun event,” said Will. “The plan is to make it through this year — put something on rather than do nothing — and then we’ll come back twice as big next year!
“It was great, it was excellent for restaurants and the hotels, to have people come a spend money in town all weekend,” said Will. “Obviously, we are not going to get the numbers that we usually have, but we wanted to do something to at least give the locals some running and hopefully a few people will come to town to stay for the weekend and do some
Registrations fees have been reduced for the smaller event, costing just $5 for under 12s and $10 for adults.
“Running and the running festival is such a big thing in Orange — you can tell by the Orange Running Club, their numbers just keep going up. So it is becoming quite a big thing for Orange and we have a great new committee members who would really like to see it get even bigger and better.”

DONATED STATIONERY HELPS KIDS GET THE RIGHT START AT SCHOOL
Orange Public School Captains Flynn Keegan and Georgia Clunas were on hand to collect the donated stationery on Tuesday. Pictured with OPS Deputy Principal Ngaire Oliver and Trina Graham from Jenny’s Classroom and Toys2.
— JONATHAN ROE —
Parents of Orange Public School students have donated hundreds of dollars’ worth of stationery items to make sure all kids have the best start to the school year.
For many families, the annual back to school shopping list can really stretch the budget. But thanks to an easy donation program run through Jenny’s Classroom and Toy2 for Orange Public School, students wont go without. “It was a parent from the school, originally, who decided to put an idea forward for people to donate stationery,” said Trina Graham from Jenny’s Classroom. “And it wasn’t only to OPS it was to all schools in the Orange area and she would go around with a group of people and they would collect

because we really appreciate the support that OPS gives our business and so we like to add to the pile.”
“So they then buy their own kids’ resources and tick a box to donate to the school,” said Trina.
“It makes an enormous difference for some students,” said OPS Deputy Principal Ngaire Oliver. “It can cause incredible anxiety if they are coming to school and haven’t got what they need.
“We got a brilliant response this year. It has probably been the biggest year for quite a long time. Just an amazing response, people have been very generous. And at Jenny’s Classroom we add our donation as well,
“So we keep this donated equipment and we are able to give it to students who need it so everyone is on a level playing field to start the year — and supplement as things go on through the year.”

Little Wings TO BENEFIT FROM ORANGE FARMERS MARKET — MELISE COLEMAN —
The Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak are set to donate proceeds from their ‘Feb 13th’ Orange Farmers Market gate takings to the small charity, Little Wings.
Little wings are based at Bankstown Aerodrome, providing free daily air and ground transport for seriously ill children, residing in regional and rural NSW. The charity works to ensure they are providing consistent access to life-saving medical treatment via the Sydney Children’s Network and John Hunter Children’s Hospital. They aim to minimise travel fatigue, financial burden and emotional strain associated with frequent travel to and from large cities. All the while, keeping families united and enhancing a child’s recovery in the comfort of the family home. President of Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak, Sue Moffatt said she knows how difficult it continues to be holding fundraising events during

this time, so she thought this was a great way for the club to help with a local charity alongside its importance of helping seriously ill children in regional and rural NSW. “We heard the story of local boy Dylan, who has made many trips with Little Wings from Orange to Westmead Hospital and back, for ongoing treatment,” said Sue. “Dylan mentioned the thought of bumpy roads were too much to bear on his recovering body, and the Little Wings service allowed him to avoid these concerns time after time, easing his mind and building confidence in his frequent journeys.” The COVID period meant Little Wings was hit hard, losing all funding overnight, as they

Trang’s Kitchen transports you to Vietnam International travel may be off the cards for 2021, but close your eyes at Trang’s Kitchen and let the tastes and aromas take you half a world away to the streets of Vietnam. “If you go to Trang’s Kitchen is like you are sent to Vietnam,” says the ever-enthusiastic Trang Le. “You have Pho from Hanoi, crispy pancakes from Hue, chicken lemongrass from Hue, spring rolls and rice paper rolls, which are everywhere in Vietnam!” Trang is certainly not short of ambition and has the work ethic to see her dreams through. From small beginnings selling Vietnamese jerky at local markets, Trang has invested in her own food truck, opened a Summer Street restaurant, and also operates a thriving business in the Orange City Centre Food Court. Not one to sit still, she has rebranded her Summer Street store Trang’s Kitchen (formerly Trang Hue) and expanded the menu offerings and extended trading hours to give Orange a taste of the food from her hometown near the city of Hue. “Everywhere in Vietnam the food is similar, but some like the food sweeter, some like it lighter, but I think Hue and Hoi An do the best food in Vietnam!” said Trang, whose menu is especially suitable for sharing. “In Vietnam we usually sit down and eat
together wrapping things in rice paper rolls. So here you can get your share plate, get your rice paper roll, you wrap your chicken, your crispy pork belly, your salad, wrap everything together and do your own sauce.
(The good news is that sauce will soon be available to purchase alongside Trang’s existing range of delicious, jarred sauces for the home cook.) For those who struggle with indecision, Trang has her own recommendations on where people should start on the menu.
“What I wanted was to share my family dinner, get people to sit down and wrap themselves a delicious healthy dinner.”
“Trang’s special noodle is very nice. You have barbecue pork and chicken skewers and one spring roll with rice noodles and fresh salad — that’s our best seller at the moment, along with my fresh lemon juice! If you have a hangover, you’re tired, have our lemon juice and it will wake you up, it is very refreshing!”
If you do manage to look past the tasting plates, there is plenty to temp you in the rest of Trang’s extensive menu, from Vietnamese Pork Rib, Shaking Cube Beef, Caramelised Pork Belly to Bao Buns and Green Papaya Salad. “Chicken lemongrass — a lot of people order that one — lemongrass with beef, lemongrass with pork, grilled pork chop with rice, the steamed pork belly and crispy pork are popular too, and a lot of people love our papaya salad, so we have a lot of options,” said Trang.
Trang’s Kitchen is open for lunch Monday to Saturday, 11am - 3.00pm, and for dinner Tuesday to Saturday, 5pm - 10pm. The restaurant is BYO, but Trang’s Kitchen will soon be stocking a range of Vietnamese beers and serving local wines and cocktails.
“And I think vegetarians will find a lot of really good options here and vegans… Everyone who tries our caramelised soy eggplant and pepper need to get the sauce straight away! They beg me for jars for that sauce!”

2021: The year you put your retirement first
The year 2020 brought with it a myriad of changes. As we embark on a new year, it’s important to take stock of what’s transpired, and think about what changes 2021 will bring for you. If there’s one thing the past year provided was clarity around the things that are truly important: lifestyle quality, security, and meaningful connections. After the unpredictability of recent times, a move to Oak Tree Orange in 2021 can provide that much-needed certainty for you and your family. With our simple weekly fee, you’ll have budget certainty over your everyday living expenses. While we take care of your home and village maintenance, there’s no need to worry about unexpected costs or relying on family to help with the upkeep. You’ll have more freedom to spend quality time with loved ones, doing more of the things you want to do, and less of the things you have to do.
Within the security of a gated village, you’ll find a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. As an Oak Tree resident, you’ll be part of a community of your peers who share similar interests and genuinely enjoy looking out for one another. Socialise safely with visitors and village friends alike in the purpose-built recreation and leisure facilities, or within your own home. If simplicity and certainty are part of your resolution for 2021, then take the opportunity this new year to visit our village and experience the Oak Tree difference for yourself. We understand the importance of including family in these decisions, so feel free to bring them too – we’d love to see you all! This new year, your new life awaits you!
For your new start with Oak Tree Orange, visit 109 Ploughmans Lane Orange, call 1300 367 155 or go to oaktreegroup.com.au.

HONOURING PRIVATE WILLIAM WRANGHAM I was honoured to attend a commemorative service for ANZAC Digger Private William Wrangham at Orange Cemetery this week. Private Wrangham has finally been given an Australian War Grave, one hundred years after his death from wounds suffered in the First World War.
√ $14.7 million for Mission Australia’s Benjamin Short Grove Aged Care facility √ $100,000 for new stadium seating at Wade Park

√ $3 million for a second radiotherapy unit at Orange Health Service
Private Wrangham is believed to have moved to Orange after being medically discharged from in April 1918. He never married and reportedly didn’t know many people in Orange at the time of his death at the Base Hospital on 17th May 1921.
√ $15,000 for a new hydrotherapy spa at Anson Street School
While the Returned Soldiers Club of Orange organised a funeral for Private Wrangham, at the time, his grave was never officially marked – until now.
√ $1.42 million for an upgrade of Clergate Road
Thanks to the incredible and tireless work of Sharon Jameson of the Orange Family History Group, the Commonwealth War Graves Commission has provided Private Wrangham with a grave befitting of an ANZAC Digger. Andrew at the grave of WWI Veteran, Private William Wrangham, with Mr Wrangham’s Congratulations to Sharon, the Orange RSL Sub-Branch and the descendant, Elizabeth Raynolds, local historian, Sharon Jameson, other members of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission for honouring Private Orange Family History Group, and also representatives of the Orange RSL Sub-Branch, Wrangham for his service to our country.

CHINAMAN’S BEND REST AREA EARMARKED FOR UPGRADE
√ $8,000,000 for an investigation of fast rail from Syd Parkes √ $2,000,000 for Stage 4 of Southern Feeder Road project √ $1,243,593 for new contemporary and flexible learning spaces at St Mary’s Catholic School
The Chinaman’s Bend Rest Area at the eastern entrance to Orange on the Mitchell Highway is set for a $56,500 upgrade thanks to the Australian Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program.
√ $1,200,000 for CCTV in Orange, Bathurst and Wellington
The improvements to the Chinaman’s Bend Rest area will be great for truck drivers as well as locals and visitors wanting somewhere to pull over safely. The funding will go towards re-sealing the large rest area and creating designated truck parking places.
√ $1,118,979 for The Orchard crisis accommodation centre
Our regional freight networks form the backbone of our national economy and funding for pit stops like Chinaman’s Bend, which improve safety and efficiency, is money well spent. By improving the amenity of this rest area, it will hopefully also encourage people to stop and learn of the significant history of the site. The Chinaman’s Bend rest stop is adjacent to the Chinaman’s Bend Cemetery, Orange’s oldest cemetery, which still contains a number of headstones dating back to the 1840s. It is a physical record of one of the first European settlements in the Orange region in the mid-1820s.

MAKING ORANGE BETTER ONE DONATION AT A TIME — JONATHAN ROE — Continuing their generous support for the Orange community Ashcroft’s IGA presented donations to two groups working to improve the lives of local kids. Thanks to money raised from the IGA Community Chest program, $4000 was given to Riding for the Disabled Orange and another $4,500 to Veritas House.
Is your child starting school in 2022? Have you considered Catherine McAuley?
“It is just amazing,” said Allan Everett, Treasurer of Riding for the Disabled Orange. “Ashcroft’s are really generous with their donations and it allows us to keep operating. We use the money for various day to day things, but this particular donation will be used for some fences that need repair and to develop some more fencing. COVID greatly restricted the activities of Riding for the Disabled in 2020, but the organisation is looking forward to a better 2022. “COVID was a test for us, but fortunately we had the quality of people to be able to organise what we were required to do… Our AGM is on the 24th of February and then the kids will come back the next week and hopefully we’ll be bigger and better than we are now!
School tours will be held on...
“We’ve got some fabulous horses and wonderful kids and the volunteers are just amazing... but you know we could do with more volunteers. It is such a worthwhile cause and there is a real satisfaction in walking away after a day with the kids and seeing the smiles on their faces.”
Tuesday February 23, Wednesday February 24, Thursday February 25, Tuesday March 2,
Despite COVID restriction putting a halt on a number of fundraising activities for Ashcroft’s inhouse charity Let’s Make Better, Rochelle Ashcroft said they actually raised more money in 2020 than previous years thanks to some generous donations, “That was nice to see,” said Rochelle. “And I think it was good because we could give out more money in a tough year.”
Wednesday March 3, Thursday March 4 commencing at 4pm for 30 minutes.

Tomorrow morning the Orange Business Chamber, in conjunction with Central NSW Business HQ and buy now, pay later giant Afterpay, is hosting a small breakfast seminar at the Orange ExServices’ Club.
With so much commerce being done online, keeping up with the way customers shop and pay for items is vital for businesses large and small. Cash is no longer king at the checkout and payments through mobile apps are fast becoming the norm, said Orange Business Chamber president Jack Evans. “It’s about getting businesses informed in the new ways peoples are transacting, not just the traditional cash-on-the-day or layby,” said Jack. He urged all local retailers to book for tomorrow’s short seminar at it will be a great opportunity for to get a better understanding of just how customers are spending their money.
“Wayne Sunderland from Biz HQ is going to do a bit of an overview of Afterpay and some of the regulations around it, then Afterpay are going to give a presentation on their service, their rates, how it will be helpful for your business and Pip Brett from Jumbled — who is an existing user — is going to come and talk about what it has done for her business,” he said
are spending money in,” he said.
Jack will also be presenting the latest Spendmap data for Orange.
As a treat for locals and a push for Orange businesses, Afterpay will be setting up at Robertson Park all weekend (13th-14th) from 125.30pm, treating local shoppers to free scoops of Messina’s special edition ‘Bondi Mint’ ice-cream – inspired by Afterpay’s unique Pantone brand colour and Bondi roots.
“That’s looking at where people are coming from when they spend their money here, what portion of money is leaving town and a breakdown of sectors like fashion, home decor, cars… breaking it down to what industries people
The small business seminar will be held at the Orange Ex-Services’ Club from 7.15-8.30am, Friday, 12 February. Make sure to RSVP by visiting the Orange Business Chamber Facebook page and following the links.

Memories by Ned
I remember going to a movie one night with family friends and the movie was the “The Mummy’s Hand”. After coming back to their house, I had to ride my bike about a mile home in the dark, as I rushed through the front gate Dad who was waiting up for me reckoned there was smoke coming from the tyres.
May I put forward a different perspective on your excellent article on poverty in the 30’s?
W
hile not in any way disputing its veracity I would like to show you straight from the horses mouth the other side of the coin. I, of course, speak only for my family, neighbours and close community. Poverty like happiness is a state of mind, we were certainly not wealthy but always had sufficient to cover our needs and a happy household with lots of laughter. No mod cons but we adjusted our lifestyle to suit our circumstances. Men in our community with reasonable work skills and a good work ethic seemed to be able to find work. A friend of Dad’s was put off but soon
found other employment and went on to establish a successful business. Things that, to us now, seem primitive were the norm, In our household Mum was up early, starting the fire in the stove and prepared breakfast, then went on to milk two cows, I helped by then with the cream separator. We then had breakfast which was usually a bowl of oatmeal with milk, cream and sugar. Grandpa, who lived with us prepared his oatmeal, the old traditional way with butter and salt. This was followed by a chop and egg or bacon and egg and a piece of toast. Aarrh - the toast, large tin load cut to desired thickness on a breadboard with a bread knife, speared with a long handled toasting fork. Open the stove firebox and toast
A ritual in our house was ladies afternoon tea, out would come the fine china, scones and cup cakes and fancy biscuits would appear. When the ladies came for afternoon tea Grandpa would disappear as they would fuss over him, late in the afternoon if I was in earshot and one of the ladies wished to retail some piece of salacious gossip she would look in my direction and murmur “little pigs have big ears” and I would be given a scone or a piece of cake and told to find Grandpa. I usually found him in his comfortable old cane chair with his glasses on his nose and a book or paper in his lap having what he called a 'snod' half way between a snooze and a nod. We would always go to the Sorly’s Vaudeville Show when they came around. I remember losing my young heart to the Soubrette, sides sore from laughing with the comedian and the dreamy look on Mum’s face when the tenor sang a romantic ballad. This with the Saturday night dance, visits to friends and neighbours, occasional community singing, parties and card

nights accounted for most of our outside entertainment. Of course, we were deprived of some things. No bills for broadband, no GST, no bills for compulsory insurance, light, power, gas, phone or water. No licence fees, no health insurance, no animal registration, no compulsory seatbelts, baby seats, speed cameras, breath tests, even my old bike was deprived of a bell, lights, reflectors and me of a helmet. Town people were worse off, they had to put up with daily deliveries of milk and bread, butcher, grocer, ice man, green grocer calling to take orders. Doctors made house calls and bills for a dentist or solicitor were “say two guineas” mail deliveries twice a day and telegrams for emergencies. That my friend is a small idea of how we and thousands of other households lived through the poverty era. The era that people look on with sadness was for us ordinary living. Sadly, at the present time it appears that gloom and doom is more fashionable than good and success. I personally prefer to live with Paterson’s – “The bush has their friends to meet him and their friendly voices greet him in the murmur of the breezes and the river on its bars. And he sees the vision splendid of a sunlit plains extended, and at night the wondrous glory of the everlasting stars.” Than John O’Brien’s “And we’ll all be ruined” said Hanrahan “before the year is out.” Are we any better off now than then, at 93 not out and enjoying every minute I don’t know? Guess we must be.

COUNCIL AT WORK
Future City funding for building frontage upgrades available now Orange City Council is supporting the retail industry by offering grants of $5,000 to upgrade building frontages or reinstate heritage items on CBD properties. WATERWORKS: The team from MidWest Irrigation install underground pipes for the sprinkler system at Perry Oval.
The funding, part of Council’s Future City plans, is designed to showcase the city’s beautiful buildings, enhance the CBD, support retail and give a boost to local tradespeople.
New irrigation system set to improve surface at Perry Oval
Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said the Future City Assistance Fund was available to owners of commercial buildings in the CBD area, and included repairs, conservation or reinstatement of heritage items and painting upgrades.
A $30,000 project to improve the playing surface at Perry Oval will make the venue more suitable for sporting groups of all ages. A new automatic irrigation system is being installed to enable the field to be watered when required. Once complete, Council’s sportsground team will undertake weed-spraying and oversowing to boost the quality of the sportsground surface. The team from Mid-West Irrigation has been at the oval the past couple of weeks putting in new underground pipes and pop-up sprinklers, and connecting wiring to the irrigation control box. Despite being equipped with evening training lights, the condition of the field deteriorated through the last few years of drought due to the lack of a suitable irrigation system, and as a result local sporting groups have avoided Perry Oval as a training venue. However, an increasing population and the growth of sporting clubs around the city means it is becoming more difficult to find enough suitable training venues, especially in winter when other ovals might be out of action due to boggy conditions. These improvement will make Perry Oval a more useable space and ensure it meets the standard to cater for the needs of our sporting teams. Orange City Council staff will begin the process of allocating Council sportsgrounds for the 2021 winter sports season in February, when local sporting associations and clubs will be invited to submit their requests for the use of Council sportsgrounds for training and competition purposes.
“Future City is about creating a CBD Orange residents can be proud of,” Cr Kidd said. “We want the best regional CBD in New South Wales, a place where people want to spend time, gather and support local businesses. The Future City project is also about creating a CBD which will attract new investment.” “This latest initiative of Future City is designed to upgrade existing buildings to lift and brighten the CBD. “We have a total pool of $200,000 for the Future City Assistance Fund of the Future City plans.” Grants are available to building owners who are able to match Council’s financial contribution, and grants of $10,000 are
— The next Orange City Council meeting will be held on February 16, 2021.
LAUNCH: Orange Business Chamber president Jack Evans with Orange Mayor Reg Kidd available in exceptional circumstances. Orange City Council’s Employment and Economic Development Committee Chair Cr Tony Mileto said businesses would need to employ local tradespeople for the upgrade works. “We’re interesting in funding projects which will have a significant impact on the visual amenity of the CBD, so items such as upgrading or reinstating awnings, or verandas and external painting jobs,” Cr Mileto said. “Future City is happening now. The projects we’re looking to fund need to be completed in the next six months. We want to give our economy the best chance at thriving post COVID-19 and we are in the early stages of our three year plan. “Future City includes a range of business support such as website design, pop-up stop facilities, CBD upgrades like green walls, outdoor dining pods, better

Orange Business Chamber president Jack Evans says he supports the initiative. “This is a great opportunity to spruce up the CBD and make it feel like the 21st century city we are becoming,” Jack Evans said. “People will take pride in saying “I’m from Orange.” “This initiative will also have significant long term economic benefits, creating jobs for tradies and drawing customers into the CBD to shop in our businesses”. Any person who owns a commercial building in the Orange CBD, bordered by Peisley Street in the east, Hill Street in the west, Kite Street in the south and Byng Street in the north interested in applying for the Future City Assistance Fund should contact council’s Engagement Officer Ellie Bryce on ebryce@orange.nsw.gov.au or visit the Orange City Council website for more information.

plans and answer any questions you may have. Adjoining land owners are entitled to make submissions to council about the proposed road alteration. All submissions are to be made to council by 25 February 2021 through the following avenues: Send a letter to the General Manager, Orange City Council, PO Box 35 Orange 2800 Or send an email to council@orange. nsws.gov.au Weather permitting, work is planned to begin March 2121, and project updates will be issued over the project duration.
FAQs: Q: Why aren’t mattresses being collected in the Bulky Waste collection? A: Bulky Waste comprises of 3 main pickup runs being; Residual waste, scrap steel and fridges/whitegoods. We don’t include mattresses as it would involve a separate pickup run which would be an extra cost to the ratepayer. It’s also not something we can recycle in-house, it would have to be processed by another contractor, so again another cost to the ratepayer. The good news however is that OCC has vouchers available at customer service that don’t expire until June 20, 2021. They allow residents to take their mattress (or other waste items) to the Resource Recovery Centre for free. It usually costs up to $25 to dispose a mattress, so the voucher system is worthwhile.
NAIDOC Week committee looking for new members
The NAIDOC Committee is a community committee run with the support of Orange City Council.
• Stabilisation of the existing road pavement to improve strength,
Under the NSW Roads Act 1993 Section 29, Council is required to give residents advance notice when the level of the road is to be altered. This project is expected to increase the height of the road surface by up to approximately 210 mm (21cm) at the centreline of the road. As part of the project, driveways will be adjusted to match the new road levels, with changes occurring between the road edge and property boundary, with no changes to the driveway heights at the property boundary.
lighting, public art and start‐up support and that’s just year one.”
The Orange NAIDOC Committee is calling on members of the community to put their hand up to help organise Orange’s annual NAIDOC Week celebrations.
The project will involve:
• A bitumen spray seal surface
— The last Orange City Council meeting heard the latest update on plans for a medium density housing development on the vacant council-owned land on the western end of the former base hospital site. Council is floating proposals for three and fourstorey apartments as well as large areas of open space. In order to encourage a developer to take on a project in line with Council plans, a draft Development Control Plan (DCP) for the site has been developed. The DCP will now be on display for community comment for 28 days.
Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said the committee would like to include anyone who has an interest in helping to organise this annual celebration of First People’s history, culture and achievements. “Committee members do not have to identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander but we’d really love to see as many First Nation’s people on the committee as possible,” Cr Kidd said. “This is a community committee run by the community, for the community, and Council provides it with a range of support such as secretariat services, events management and buildings to host meetings and events. “This is a great opportunity to organise and assist with a range of coordinated activities and to support the local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community.” Committee Chair Gerald Power said he
The NAIDOC Week street parade is a featured event of Orange’s celebrations would love to see a range of people express an interest to be on the committee, or to hold officer bearer positions. “NAIDOC is celebrated not only in Indigenous communities, but by Australians from all walks of life. He said. “New people on community committees bring with them fresh ideas and solutions. “I encourage anyone who is interested in making the Orange NAIDOC Week a wonderful celebration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history and culture to apply, or at least give us a call and have a chat about what’s involved.” National NAIDOC Week is held in July however, the Orange community usually celebrates NAIDOC Week in October due to the routinely cold weather in the middle of the year. Events usually include a street march and community activities in Robertson Park. Head to Orange City Council’s website for Expression of Interest forms. Expressions of Interest close Thursday, February 4 at midday.

Kids Stuff Kids in the
KITCHEN! Throughout my childhood my mother gave us kids a pretty free run in the kitchen, something I’ve been forever grateful for as it developed a love of cooking that I still have today. Her one proviso was that we clean up everything afterwards, but it seemed a small price to pay in order to get ready access to cake and cookies, and more importantly, the bowl and beaters to lick clean afterwards! I would have been about five years old when I first started baking. Dragging a chair up to the green melamine kitchen counter to stand on (my parents renovated in the middle of a drought and added green everywhere), and with my mother’s help I learnt my very first cake recipe. It was the ‘2-4-6-8 Cake’ a great basic cake recipe that I’ve never forgotten and one that can be adapted for just about anything — 2 eggs, 4oz butter, 6 oz sugar and 8 oz self raising flour (Really, I’m not that old, but pretty much every recipe book in our house was in the old measurements.) But if there is one cake I’ve eaten more of than any other in my life it is ‘Wacky Cake’. Don’t ask me why it is called Wacky Cake as I don’t really know – it could be because it has no eggs, but that’s just a guess. Wacky Cake was the staple chocolate cake made by my mother’s best friend. Rich, dark, always incredibly moist, but with a slight crust it was a revelation! It became the ‘go to’ cake in our family for many years and my siblings and I each took hand copied Wacky Cake recipes with us when we left home as teenagers. While there’s no doubt that better chocolate cake recipes exist, Wacky Cake is an incredibly useful recipe. Not only have
I found it produces reliably results, it’s super easy to make and being egg-free, dairy free, and easily adapted to gluten-free – it is a cake you can serve to anyone. I present the recipe as we used it, which is designed for a large rectangular pan (we could never get enough of it!). But it can be halved to suit a standard 20 centimetre cake tin.
WACKY CAKE 3 cups plain flour 2 cups white sugar 6 tablespoons cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 10 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 tablespoons white vinegar 2 teaspoons vanilla syrup 2 cups cold water Combine dry ingredients. Add vinegar, vanilla and oil, with the water last. Mix Well. Put into a preheated over at 180 C for approximately 30 to 35 minutes — remove just as a knife stuck in the middle of the cake comes out clean. Leave to cool and then top with your favourite icing or just dust with icing sugar.
Special tips: •W hen mixing the dry ingredients add the baking soda last and pour the vinegar onto it so that it fizzes up. It looks cool! • Dutch cocoa makes for a darker, richer cake. • Chocolate cream cheese icing is awesome! • Being a soft, crumbly type of cake substituting in gluten-free flour has little impact on the results.

Diabetes Mellitus is a condition where the body fails to provide sufficient insulin to cope with glucose in the blood. Diabetes is Greek for syphon or drain, referring to the patients need to urinate frequently. Mellitus is Latin for

Diabetes was first recorded in Egypt, and research began as early as 1869. Dogs suffer Diabetes and have been used in research. The research into structure of insulin was ground breaking, and important to genetic engineering and medical science. In 1923, Nobel Prizes were awarded to Banting and McLeod for physiology in medicine, and also to Frederick Sanger in 1955 for Chemistry. The most important aids in controlling Diabetic complications are a healthy diet and exercise. John has injected himself over 80,000 times, and has been awarded the Kellion Medal for surviving over 50 years with diabetes. He

Kim Wilde – INHERITED TALENT AND HANDY FRIENDS
During my last year at High School, 1981, English singer Kim Wilde burst on to radio and ABC’s “Countdown.” She had a fresh sound and she looked like a proper pop star. To prove the point, just a year after bursting on to the scene, not only did she win the “Smash Hits” readers’ poll in the UK as the “Best Female Artist,” she also won the “Most Fanciable Female” award. For the record, Simon Le Bon from “Duran Duran” won the male equivalent award that year. “Kids in America” was the first single and it went to number 3 in Australia and stayed in the top 40 for 20 weeks. It didn’t make the charts in the United States until the following year and, somewhat surprisingly, only made number 25 there. She rounded out that breakthrough year with another top 10 hit, “Chequered Love.” Born in 1960 to parents Marty Smith and Joyce Baker, Kim Smith had a genetic advantage. Her dad’s stage name was Marty Wilde and he had a massive pop music career in England, and beyond, through the 50s, 60s and 70s. In all he registered around 2 dozen top 40 hits. Joyce Baker was a member of the 1950’s “Vernon’s Girls” choir and enjoyed many regular
36 FEBRUARY 11 — 17, 2021
television variety show appearances. After reducing their number from 16 to 5, “Vernon’s Girls” became one the most soughtafter session singer groups in England. There was a son in the family too! Ricky Wilde also tasted success as a child singer in England in the early 70s. The closest comparison we’d know would be Donny Osmond. So… that’s the inherited talent part of the Kim Wilde story. But the goal to be a star was also helped by meeting and being signed by RAK Records Owner, Mickie Most. Even before establishing RAK, Mickie Most produced hits for “The Animals,” “Herman’s Hermits,” “Nashville Teens,” Donovan, Suzie Quatro, “Hot Chocolate,” “Jeff Beck Group,” and “Racey” to name a few. Many ended up moving to RAK records if they weren’t already there. With parents and a brother having talent to burn, then finding herself under the guiding hand of Mickie Most, the stars, quite literally, had aligned. Her success through 1981 was mirrored in 1982 when she released the follow up to her self-titled
debut LP. “Select” saw two hit singles releases, “Cambodia” and “View from a Bridge.” Fans could hear that Kim Wilde was looking for a more polished sound while maintaining the pop sensibilities, reminiscent of one of her idols, Gary Numan. It worked! “Cambodia” was a number 2 and “View from a Bridge” made a number 6 selling single in Australia. But 1982 also saw pressure placed on her to perform live. There had been no sign of a concert tour since she became a star, so in September of 1982, Denmark hosted the first Kim Wilde concert. Most of the following month was spent touring the UK and that monkey had been well and truly thrown from her back. For Australian fans, the years between 1982 and 1986 were very quiet, but not for her! In 1983 her album “Catch as Catch Can” saw the single release “Love Blonde” fail to chart in Australia. The following year she signed with MCA records and released the LP “Teases and Dares.” It was ignored in the UK, not a seller in Australia, but was a solid chart performer in Europe.
The next couple of years saw her success throughout most western Europe remain strong, effectively sustaining her career. In 1986 she released the album “Next Step,” which had great expectations of being a hit at home, Australia and the US, while retaining her popularity in Europe. Concerns immediately surfaced though when the first single, “School Girl” flopped everywhere. But the 2nd single was a sure-fire hit! It was a cover the “Diana Ross and the Supremes” single “You Keep me Hanging on.” It ended up being the first of her two number 1s on the Australian charts. It also gave her a coveted US number 1. Her next major came after an absence of 6 years from the Australian charts. It was the 1993 number 1 selling cover of the Yvonne Elliman hit “If I Can’t Have You.” Since then, though, keen eyed Australian fans will know that she has often toured the world with her 80’s super star friends including Paul Young, Howard Jones, “The Human League,” and Belinda Carlisle. When concert tours become a thing again, we’ll see this singer with inherited talent and handy friends on our shores once more.

“It is not the performing that I want to wind back it is the travelling,” says Williamson. 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 can do as good a job as I expect to do, I’ll probably keep doing it — just maybe less of it.”

THUMBS DOWN to the Council Tree
THUMBS UP to Danielle at Dani J’s Hair Factor. Thank you very much for the way she has looked after us clients and we wish her all the best on her maternity leave.
‘Butchers’. One branch of a street tree came down, the whole tree was then cut down. I thought we were a city that loved our trees and bragged about how green the city was, although to drive through North Orange that definitely isn’t the case. Someone on the Council must love the sound of tree loppers in the morning!
THUMBS UP to the kind lady who handed my handbag into North Orange Woolworths when I left my handbag in the shopping trolley. Thank you very much. THUMBS UP to the gentlemen that run Stans Takeaway. They both are always friendly, kind and always go above and beyond. THANK YOU! THUMBS DOWN to the smokers
sitting outside in front of shops smoking and stinking shops out. I wish police would tell you people to move along. We need more street police. THUMBS DOWN to the teenagers
this afternoon at 4pm in shopping centres. I swear your behaviour is out of control. I have never seen so many silly teenage kids in my life, where are the parents of these teenagers? Take control of your kids behaviour, please. THUMBS UP and thank you for all the Christmas decorations Council, businesses and residents. Just beautiful the way Orange was lit up and made the end of 2020 such a delight.
THUMBS UP to Greengate Sandwich Bar. I called in and grabbed a coffee and ordered the best salad sandwich I have had in a long time. The shop is extremely clean, and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely be going back there to try their home made slices, they looked delicious. Keep up the great work girls. THUMBS DOWN to highway patrol
who spend more time in the local Maccas then catching the hoons who speed up and down Molong Road and Woodward Street. I swear the hoons on Bathurst Road have more defect notices on their cars than anything.
THUMBS DOWN to schools who
play very loud music over their outside speakers to alert students to the commencement and end of classes and beginning and end of the lunch break and finish of the school day, resulting in an unreasonable disruption to the peace and quiet of the surrounding neighbourhood. THUMBS DOWN to those who
do not pick up their dog’s excrement when walking them. In particular the excrement left on the walking tracks within the Botanic Gardens and other people’s front lawn. Be a responsible dog owner and pick it up!
THUMBS UP to the Oriana Restaurant for allowing its guests to order what they want from a delicious menu rather than all the other up market establishments who charge inflated prices for set menus. We supported all these restaurants during COVID lockdown by purchasing many takeaway meals and now they don’t seem to want our business. THUMBS UP to OC Life for all that they do to keep us in touch with everything that is happening. THUMBS DOWN to my parents for
not arranging my birthday to fall on OCL’s lucky birthday. Every month I check with no joy (hint, hint - the 11th of May) THUMBS UP to Orange City Council for the recently refurbished/ repainted toilets in Elephant park. They look great.
THE THUMBS REPRESENT THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS OF READERS AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THOSE OF ORANGE CITY LIFE STAFF. EVERY CARE IS TAKEN NOT TO PUBLISH THUMBS THAT ARE CONSIDERED DEROGATORY OR DEFAMATORY IN NATURE
