THIS WEEK’S COVER

Would you believe that Autumn is almost on our doorstep? That’s good news for O towners as many believe this is the best time of the year here, and I must say that after about 10 years in Orange, I can’t disagree.

The ups and downs of Covid seem destined not to go away for some time yet, even with a vaccine soon to be rolled out. That too is going to be interesting to see how people respond to that.

Life words of encouragement “Much of the stress that people feel doesn’t come from having too much to do. It comes from not finishing what they started.” – DAVID ALLEN

Just a reminder of a couple of new things we’ve started as of last week. Each Thursday between 10.30 and noon on FM 107.5, it’s the new Hearts for Orange Show. This show combines music, interviews with local businessowners, tips on some good products to try, a bit of fun and more. We also play Radio Bingo where you could win a $50 IGA Gift Voucher just for listening and having the four numbers we call out in your mobile phone number. On our competition page you’ll also see another chance to win $50 in our new Work Alert initiative. It’s pretty straight-forward so keep your eye out for your chance to enter and win. Let me also give a plug for our free weekend newspaper NEWSWATCH. This has a lot of great reading and has a lot of people talking about the various local issues we cover. Newswatch comes out each Saturday, it’s free and you can pick it up from stands in all the main locations around Orange as well as newsagents, it also carries a weekly TV guide for those looking for one. A lot of people appear to like Newswatch.

Until next week, happy reading and go well everyone!

First pick for newcomer to the Orange wine scene — JONATHAN ROE —

“It is a bit of sentimental pick,” says Nadja Wallington overlooking the 6ha of fruit laden vines destined to become the first vintage of the newest boutique wine label in the Orange region. For many people, 2020 is a year they would rather forget, but for local winemakers Nadja and husband Steve Mobbs it will remembered as the year they were married, bought a vineyard and launched their very own wine label together, ChaLou (a portmanteau of their middle names Charlton and Louise.)

“After university we did the travelling thing, but went to different countries,” says Steve. “So, vintages all around Australia… the States and went to New Zealand and Germany and back to Canada a couple of times and then did little bits around Australia in Tasmania, South Australia, NSW and Victoria.”

On Sunday, the couple picked the first grapes from their vineyard, formerly Sassy Wines owned by Rob and Felicia Coles.

Wanting to be a little closer to his family at Wauchope, at the end of 2013 Steve left Melbourne to join the winemaking team at Cumulus Wines in Orange.

“We are planning on turning it into a sparkling, Méthode Traditionelle, so we might be waiting for a while to drink it, but it seems like the right thing to make for your first pick,” says Nadja.

“I got the job and then I had a message from Nadja, she was still over in France and she’d heard from a friend I was going to be in Orange and said, ‘So am I!’” says Steve.

Nadja and Steve both began their journey to becoming winemakers at an early age. Both grew up on family vineyards — Steve near Wauchope, Nadja at Canowindra — and the couple share a love of science.

“So we rekindled a friendly relationship and moved in with each other as friends and then it all started from there… We got married and bought a property last year.”

“I vaguely remember telling a friend in boarding school, in a science class, that I want to be a winemaker. I said it out loud and didn’t change my mind,” says Nadja, who did her school work experience with Murray Smith, of Canobolas Smith Wines here in Orange.

Since returning to Orange, Nadja has been a full-time winemaker at Phillip Shaw Wines and says the region has so many opportunities for those willing to work for them.

“I got an early acceptance into Charles Sturt University at Wagga to do winemaking and it was probably pretty naive, but it worked out really well. It’s ticked all the boxes for me because I needed to do something that was hands on and physical, but pretty engaging as far as your chemistry and all that, logistic, but also it is a creative pursuit — there is an art to winemaking.” It was while studying that Steve and Nadja first met. The pair were just friends, but kept in touch in the years following their degree as they chased vintages around Australia and abroad. 4 FEBRUARY 18—24, 2021

“Orange is a really young region, so you can see opportunities. You can still buy land! Land in Orange is expensive — that hurdle is enormous and we’ve been very lucky — but you know in other wine regions it is so expensive to buy land! There is still land here for sale and still opportunity to develop brands,” said Nadja. “The region’s growing a lot, which is opening up a lot of opportunities. We were here and saw that was happening and saw the opportunity that was there.” “And were never scared to grab those opportunities,” said Steve. “Because we both came from family properties and family farms where we saw our parents

do it and we thought, well, it’s obtainable. If they can do it, we definitely can do it. There was never that hurdle in getting this place. “I’d never dreamed of Orange as a region I wanted to be in; it just happened. I stumbled upon Orange and it’s been fantastic, I’ve never left! It’s a great region and a great opportunity for two young winemakers.” In April, during F.O.O.D Week, Steve and Nadja will be hosting a small event to give people a little taste of their new joint venture. “We are having a sneaky first look, so it is not our official opening, but a housewarming,” said Steve.

...I’d never dreamed of Orange as a region I wanted to be in; it just happened. I stumbled upon Orange and it’s been fantastic...

“It will be looking at the vintage, a bit of a walk through the vineyard, looking at the wines we’ve been making and hopefully we’ll have a bit of something to show the people what we’ve been up to and give people a first look at the place and our brand.” The plan is to have their ChaLou Wine cellar door open by appointment from October and grow the brand and their range of wines slowly over the coming years. “This year we’ll make a few wines — just to get us going, to get our feet wet — and next year a little bit more, the year after that a little bit more and eventually aiming to get every berry that we grow into bottle under our brand,” said Nadja, who believes there is still plenty of room to grow the industry in Orange. “I hope that we have more producers like us start to pop up in Orange, because I think it really adds to the depth, the tapestry of our region. It’s not easy and it certainly is not for everyone, but we love what we do— that’s why we do it. If you don’t love it, it’s a crazy thing to do!”

WE CAN GO ONE BETTER! I have just had another experience with our local Council and as so often is the case, it has left me dejected and scratching my head yet again. So often I find myself asking the same old question, ‘what’s wrong with these people, why can’t I ever get through to them?’ I’m sure others can tell of similar experiences.

Minister, said to his assistant Bernard “Sir Humphrey (head of the Civil Service) is not GOD, to which Bernard replied, “Will you tell him or will I?”

It occurs to me that Councils generally seem more hellbent on defending their own actions, rather than fully considering ideas or proposals put to them by others. In my most recent case, rather than try to ‘really’ understand the thinking behind my proposal, Council staff have gone to great lengths to justify their past, present, and future actions, which they clearly consider “acceptable”. My proposal offered a way for them to get a “better” outcome overall in the subject area of my proposal. However, rather than give my proposal the fair and reasonable treatment it deserved, a 14 page Council report prepared for our Councillors, suggested that all they really wanted to do was recommend Council say “no”, and this without really considering or understanding the full rationale behind it, or the implications that could come from it. It reads as if Council feels they have to justify their position and actions first and foremost, and in doing so, don’t want anyone to appear smarter than them or have any ideas for doing things better. I’m sure others who have banged their heads against the wall for years, maybe decades, trying to share their expertise on various subjects have been given the same treatment. Our water issue would have to be one topic that’s right at the top of the list.

as I can remember. My experience has always been that if they want to do something, it goes through in a flash with little or no fuss. If they don’t, they bog you down with the endless paperwork, red tape etc. that I mentioned.

Dealing with governments at all levels can leave you feeling like that more times than not, and the method they traditionally use is to bombard you with pages and pages of jargon and rhetoric Once again, I reviewed what happened that only they understand, and if it’s not to see if I could come up with a better this, they drag out their endless supply way to go about whatever it might be of red tape and throw that at you. the next time. Bong! I may have figured I realise this sounds quite pathetic, but it out. it’s the way it’s been done for as long

THIS WEEKS SPECIAL

The point I’m making here is that in Orange, there are a lot of smart people who have both the hearts and the knowledge to help our Council make better decisions in a lot of specialist areas. Isn’t it time our Council got off their high horse and acknowledged this, then started to listen more to people who have something worthwhile to contribute? People like me, who have clearly demonstrated that we have a heart for doing good, simply want a fair hearing. Pride and ego shouldn’t appear to come into it on either side.

Let’s no longer just settle for acceptable from our Council, especially when This approach reminds me of the excelling is an option. Let’s encourage former popular British comedy series our Council to always think about how Yes Minister where Jim Hacker, the Prime we can go one better on everything.

It’s a Dogs Life — MELISE COLEMAN —

Give it up for those who created the movie ‘Secret Life of Pets’ because they were onto something real there.

s I pulled into the Diesel and Blue Headquarters, I was greeted by Whitney Huston’s, ‘I wanna Dance with Somebody’, Diesel and Blue dog, and the smiling face of Owner, Danielle Haase.

Moving to town three years ago, Danielle’s vision of a Doggy Day care stemmed from Diesel, her rescue pup and the result of his anxiety. “It was just off the scale because he had a really tough beginning to life,” said Danielle. “He kept breaking out of my house when I was at my job and he was having a really tough time. “It made me think, we need a day care for dogs, so I did a survey into the market through spread the word and it seemed to be something of interest, it just fell into place, there was a gap in the marketplace, and I knew what I wanted to do. “The community have just embraced us.” And it’s not just the community who are reeling with excitement, with 16 taxi pickups of a morning, canines are said to be seen launching themselves off the taxi on arrival and running to the front gate in anticipation as their day begins. “If you build it, they will come,” Danielle smiled. “Most dogs will run from their front door and jump into the taxi, the contrast is in the afternoon when they are getting dropped home, they are in the car and straight to sleep, we

e also have dogs who refuse to leave so they have to get carried to the car, and once they are there and they have come to terms with leaving, they are asleep.” Witnessing first hand the excitement, the barking, the wagging tails, the observant onlookers when a new dog waltzes through the doors, it truly is a doggy’s heaven. “They are crazy when they come in, it doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, it doesn’t matter if a dog has been every day and its Friday, they will still come through that gate ready to tear the place down,” Danielle laughed. “In the mornings we have a hard job of settling them down, but by using some calming techniques and putting music on it changes the barking level." The doggy day care has four sections and one major outdoor section, which the dogs get rotated through during the day, spending a good hour or two in the indoor/outdoor section. Danielle added

“They have their equipment in each of their pens where they play, but seriously in the mornings they aren’t interested in who they are with.. they are interested in what’s going on. And once they see it all, then they settle down.” In the beginning every single dog that came through the door was new and they had to establish their hierarchy, and work out what to do, who’s the boss, what’s the routine, establishing all of the packs and relationships. “Now,” Danielle said, “It’s easy, a lot of dogs have been coming for 18 months, they’ve had two birthday parties with us, we know all of their parents, they message me all the time and they are just family now. “It’s my dream, it is, but what’s more enjoyable for me is watching the owners, we’ve had so many dogs who have had some level of anxiety, some level of social challenges, or they weren’t socialised in the first nine months because of lockdown. My

joy really is seeing the owner’s responses to their dogs change. I’ve had so many tell me ‘My dog is a different dog since coming here’. “It’s also the success of the vision that makes me happy. I’m so proud to have given employment to long term unemployed individuals through VERTO and OCTEC.

...It’s been a lot of hard work, but it has been worth every single second.

“We’ve managed to create a pretty awesome team. Giving employment to locals who might not otherwise have been employed, they love being here, Josh often says he would sleep here if he could. They come in an hour early for work, we’ve created a place where people are happy, but are hard workers and have the right attitude, so I’m really stoked with that. I’ve always had a dream of running my own business, so I’ve finally nailed that and to think I’m in an area where I’m giving back, it’s a great feeling. “It’s been a lot of hard work, but it has been worth every single second.”

Waterways and watercolour — JONATHAN ROE —

“I enjoy painting; it is something that I really have a passion for,” says local Artist Glen Southwood.

Orange City Life caught up with Glen last week at the HERE/ NOW Exhibition at the Orange Regional Gallery. Glen is one of 130 local artists currently on display in the popular annual exhibition. A long-time member of the Orange Art Society, Glen works in a range of mediums including oils and pastels, but she says water colour is what she really loves. “It is exciting to see what the water does, how it moves the paint around. It is a case of judging the amount of paint on your brush, the water on your brush and the amount of water on the paper, but you get exciting results. Some of them you don’t expect, some of them you try to control them, but then there’s more… and I love the transparency.” Water has played a large part in Glen’s life. Growing up at Grays Point on the Port Hacking

River, Glen spent much of her youth paddling the creeks and waterways that ran through the Royal National Park. “It is how my husband and I met, we were canoeist,” says Glen. “And we used to do a lot of river canoeing. My family, before I even met my husband, we did most of the rivers on the east coast, nut my husband and I canoed down rivers in Europe. We tossed our jobs in and went over there for twelve months and spent six months on the rivers — living in a tent for the six months!” Art has also been a lifelong passion, says Glen, starting in her early days at school. “My school projects were all pretty well illustrated, the written content was pretty poor, but I enjoyed doing the illustration,” she says. “I’ve now been retired for quite some time, so

MORE HANDS AT THE HOUSE THAT LOVE BUILT

Training Up – Rosie Middleton (front) and Deb Williamson (second from right) orientate RMHC Orange’s newest volunteers Lorraine Short, Clare Whiffen and Corey Willmott.

MELISE COLEMAN Over the last couple of weeks Ronald McDonald House Charities in Orange has welcomed several new volunteers to the team, these volunteers support staff by carrying out a range of tasks at the house. RMHC Executive Officer, Rebecca Walsh said, “We have welcomed our new volunteers with open arms as we have been running at capacity or near capacity for several weeks and have been actively looking to increase our volunteer base.” Last Thursday new volunteers Lorraine Short, Clare Whiffen and Corey Willmott were welcomed for their first training session at the house. Newcomers to Orange, Clare Whiffen and Corey Willmott had no sooner settled into their new jobs before they contacted RMHC Orange to offer their time. Clare is said to be helping with administration work while Corey will be volunteering on one of the housekeeping shifts and as an overnight volunteer. Lorraine Short, who is also volunteering for the housekeeping shift, has a family connection with Ronald McDonald House Charities. “My nephew and his family were in a situation where they needed to stay at a Ronald McDonald House and so I always thought when I had some time available, I would like to volunteer,” Lorraine said. Corey mentioned having children of her own meant she could relate to the challenges faced by families living in rural and regional areas, as they seek specialist treatment for their child.

There are so many beautiful parks and there is so much to do here,”Corey said. Executive Officer Rebecca Walsh says it has been lovely to watch new friendships blossom amongst volunteers at the house. “I think everyone here is just so friendly, and the volunteers regularly catch up with each other away from the house,” she said. “Although Covid put a stop to our social activities last year, our volunteers are starting to plan outings again.” Since RMH opened its doors, 825 families from the central and far west have stayed free of charge at the house for a total of 6,708 nights.

PROUD ORANGE BUSINESS

Keeping the lights on in Orange for 100 years! — JONATHAN ROE —

It’s rare that a business can boast 100 years of continual operation, but Orange Electrical Works celebrates that significant milestone this month. “Another new enterprise has sprung up in our midst,” reads the opening line of a story in the Orange Leader newspaper from 7 February 1921, “One that must appeal to everybody, and more especially to the coach building, motor and bicycle trade.”

the current day Manager Director of Orange Electrical Works.

Founded by Oliver Bolam Green with Michael Sanifer, Orange Electrical Works actually preceded the arrival of electrical power to Orange homes and businesses by two years. In those early days, OB (as he was known) built and repaired batteries which were charged on kerosene generators, he also specialised in magneto repairs — magnetos then being vital for engine ignitions, telephones and early forms of electric lighting. OB also carried out a successful electroplating trade.

Orange Electrical Works quickly expanded to establish a branch in Bathurst in 1925. In that same year Michael Sanifer left the business.

“They also had commercial electrical things like pumps and motors and there was a thing called ‘X-Ray lighting — nothing to do with x-rays, but X-Ray lighting was the thing to have in your shop windows. It brought out the true colours, so it said.”

In Orange, the business added appliance and auto electrical repairs to their services and later refrigeration and air-conditioning. The outbreak of World War II, saw a number of staff members leave to join the war effort and caused work to dry up, but business boomed in the following decades. They relocated their premises to the corner of Summer and Sale Streets, opening a retail shop front with a workshop out back. The shop remained open until 1972, with the workshop remaining until 1981 when the business relocated to its current address at Barrett Court.

But with the arrival of reticulated power in 1923, the workload of Green and Sanifer grew as they busily wired homes and business for light and power — usually a light in (most) rooms and a single power point in the kitchen. The many ‘labour-saving’ devices electricity afforded were a big selling point at the time and Orange Electrical Works put on a special display at the 1923 Orange Show, demonstrating ‘For the Housewife” the benefits of electric irons, toasters, kettles, vacuum cleaners, dish and clothes washing machines.

OB Green died in the 1962, and the Managing Director role passed to his son John, who was David Boulton’s first boss “I started as an apprentice in 71 and I’m still here 50 years on! I worked with John for nearly 25 years, until he retired in 1995,” said David, who purchased the business off John with his wife Nerralie.

“They actually had them all working,” said David Boulton,

John remained interested in the business until he passed away in 2016. He was very well respected in the industry and under his leadership Orange Electrical Works undertook a large amount of technical work around the state, including lift repairs, large air-conditioning systems and cool stores, power generation systems and much more. “We still do larger electrical work, lifts and escalator repairs and maintenance which are things other people don’t want to do, some commercial catering equipment repairs and inhome repairs and those sorts of things,” said David. Small appliance repairs, once a large part of the business, are a thing of the past as it is no longer economical to do so. "Solar installation and air condition are a major part of the business today," said David. And, just as the business has always adapted to changes in the past, Orange Electrical Works is always on the lookout for new business opportunities. “We’ve just taken on the Solahart agency here in Orange for solar power and solar hot water systems,” he said. “We can build on that, as it hasn’t been pushed a great deal in this area before… And air conditioning, we have bit of work in that area, there’s always demand for that and we just keep an eye out for electrical contracts that come out.” Here’s to a bright future!

NATIONAL SERVICEMEN’S DAY Sunday marked National Servicemen’s Day, when we pause to remember the service and sacrifice of Australia’s Nashos. As Patron of the Branch, I was particularly honoured to not only attend a moving service with the Mid State National Servicemen‘s Sub-branch in Orange, but to address the members as well. Nashos are Australia’s citizen soldiers who embody the spirit of service to country and service above self. Between 1951 and 1972 more than 280,000 young Australians answered the call of their country and completed national service. During the Vietnam War and Borneo conflicts, more than 200 national servicemen died and more than 1200 were wounded on active service. Australia owes a deep debt of gratitude to our Nashos. Lest We Forget.

Funding for this project was announced as part of the Australian Government’s Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, in response to keeping the economy supported as a result of COVID-19. This project alone generated 15 jobs locally. I am proud the Australian Government has been delivered this key piece of road infrastructure.

The long-awaited Newbridge Road upgrade is complete, with a wider and smoother road improving safety for residents and tourists.

The organisers are now being invited to submit supplementary expense claims under the Australian Government’s Supporting Agricultural Shows and Field Days Program.

Building confidence and strength at Physie — MELISE COLEMAN —

Have you ever wondered what the Physical Culture world is all about? Other than digging the awesome outfits I’ve seen local competitors wear, I myself, was curious, so I thought I’d delve a little more into the sport. I caught up with Director of East Orange Bathurst Physie, Kate Burge who has been in operation for seven years after opening her own school, once the old Orange club had closed. It was 2019 Kate had then incorporated Bathurst into the mix. Physical culture known by many as ‘Physie’ is a dance sport that fuses ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary and even yoga. It has a national syllabus which means every girl and lady in Australia learns what you learn. It’s said that a common misconception about Physie is that you have to be ‘super’ coordinated to start. Kate squashed those rumours by stating, Physie ‘teaches’ coordination. “It is great for building confidence, increasing strength and flexibility and increasing coordination all while having fun with friends. “I have been part of BJP Physie since I was a child and loved growing up in a supportive and caring environment,” said Kate. “I've learnt so many skills that has helped me throughout life and I wanted

my daughters and our community to have the opportunity to also be part of a ‘Physie family’ as well.” EOBP member Dearne, started physie in 2020 after watching her daughter the previous year, she explained, “I thought it would be a different way to move my body rather than going to the gym or walking. I had visions of high hair, fake tan and bright leotards. I remember my first class, we were asked “why we had joined physie” and my response was that “2020 was my year for fun and adventure”. Starting physie in the year of Covid, was actually full of fun. I’ve met loads of passionate women, worked on my posture and flexibility, grown in confidence and purchased a few too many pieces of lycra.” Whilst Physie is based around regular class and competitions Kate emphasised the club is about much more; it’s about community, families and friends as each member becomes a friend and family for life. Kate added, “Our students inspire me so much! From our little two-year-old’s in their first dance class

...It is great for building confidence, increasing strength and flexibility and increasing coordination all while having fun with friends...

through to ladies returning to Physie or trying Physie for the first time, seeing them grow and develop and watching their love of Physie grow each class is so beautiful to see. Also being part of the joy when they master the skill they have been working so hard on, or making a new friend, these are the moments that keep our teachers going. “Our club also wouldn’t be possible without the tireless efforts of our teachers who volunteer their time to learn the syllabus and then teach and support us the entire year.” The EOBP club learn the same five dances for the entire year and work hard to perfect them for their big competitions in October and November. “At Physie, we definitely dance. Most of the time we dance. But we also have a lot of amazing club days where we do activities that allow children to develop their character, which allows their confidence to shine through. The girls and women at EOBP build amazing friendships that are lifelong.”

LIFELINE BENEFIT FROM OESC CLUB GRANTS

Lifeline Central West Executive Director, Alex Ferguson, Orange Ex Services President, Graham Gentles and Lifeline Central West CEO Stephanie Robinson

PROGRAM — MELISE COLEMAN —

Lifeline Central West received $30,000 earlier this week as a result of Orange Ex Services Club Grants Program of 2020 Category 1. “Orange Ex Services Club has been instrumental in the whole history of Lifeline Central West,” explained Lifeline Central West CEO Stephanie Robinson, “We actually started in an outbuilding on the premises of the Club. For our entire history they have been involved in supporting our operations, and have been incredibly generous supporters of our work, I actually don’t know if we would be here without them to be honest.” Unbeknown to many, the Orange Lifeline centre does not receive funding from Lifeline Australia, so, for the team to operate and be present within our community, they need just that... the support from our community. Stephanie continued, “Each year we have been lucky to receive from Club Grants, it supports the work that we do here, from our face-to-face counselling, to our Rapid Community Support Program, and all of the community work that we do.” The Rapid Community support program is a relatively new program, it is about responding to critical incidents in communities, whether it be accidents, suicides, or any incident that causes significant distress within the community, the team are available as a free service. “Lifeline has taken more calls, in its 58-year history in January even, every month we get more calls than ever, really since the bushfires. 3,395 calls were our largest call volume in January.

Is your child starting school in 2022? Have you considered Catherine McAuley?

“Obviously to meet that increase in calls we need to recruit more volunteers; it actually costs significant money to train a volunteer, so money goes towards that and running that service. We can proudly say that despite all of the challenges of COVID19, many centres had to reduce their operations because they were not COVID safe, we were really lucky to have our centres continue to operate. “I’m always so proud of our centres, in the giant scheme of things we aren’t giant centres, yet we really punch above our weight, so it’s something to be incredibly proud of.” Orange Ex Services President, Graham Gentles added, “We’ve been supporting Lifeline since 1984. The association has been built over many years with Alex Ferguson, and of more recent years, since Stephanie Robinson has been elevated to the role of CEO. “It’s their interaction with our Club and the way we are driven in the community that keeps that association active.”

School tours will be held on...

Last year alone, Orange Ex Services Club gave the community $107,000 through Club Grants. “That’s the reason we look after the community,” Graham added, “We have a huge community involvement, both through the ethics and obligations we have through our Ex-Servicemen Association, our community is fairly important in what we do as the majority of the residents in Orange are members of our Club.

Tuesday February 23, Wednesday February 24, Thursday February 25, Tuesday March 2, Wednesday March 3, Thursday March 4

Across the board of Orange Ex Services Club, it has always been a commitment from both our present and previous boards, that community engagement is something that we really support and look forward to.” Applications are now open to apply for Club Grants, head to www.oesc.com.au and follow the link to ‘Club Grants’. If anyone is struggling, please utilise the Lifeline Service, crisis support is open 24/7, call 13 11 14.

commencing at 4pm for 30 minutes.

THE NEXT BBQ WILL BE HELD ON:

Sunday 7th March 2021

Our first Mr Perfect BBQ was a huge success with a very positive turnout from the men across our region. A big thank you to all those who came to have a chat and a feed. Each time we can speak openly and honestly about men’s health and suicide, the more the stigma is removed. I am passionate about building an environment for this type of conversation to occur in order to form a community of support for men in the Central West. Be sure to put the next BBQ date of Sunday 7th March in your diary!

PHIL & ROY TOUR ORANGE

I look forward to showcasing our electorate to Roy Butler MP, Member for Barwon on his upcoming visit in March. Roy is keen to see what our vast electorate has to offer and to discuss the issues that face our community here. Considering we are neighbours I am sure there will be a lot to chat about.

Last week has been a busy week in Parliament. I delivered a motion to bring the issue of Drivers Licence Medical Assessment Requirements to the Government to highlight with word at Parliament how the current Spreading the Founder of Mr Perfect Terry Cornick, process is city centric, unreasonable and does not take into account the needs of those of us who live in the country. I also made a contribution to the debate on mobile and digital connectivity in rural and regional NSW, highlighting the failure of the Government’s promise of elimination of blackspots across the state. I again went to bat and advocate for greater support from the Government for Suicide Prevention across our region, stressing the statistics show suicide related deaths outnumber road related deaths 3 to 1.

It was a beautiful morning at Newman Park for the National Service Day commemoration. Thank you to all those who have served and to those who came out to celebrate them.

upgrades I recently had the pleasure of formally announcing the successful Orange Show Society’s Community Building Partnership Grant application. The Naylor Pavilion at the Orange Showground will benefit from new a Kiosk and toilet amenities. I have been a strong supporter of the Society and the work they do in our community. I look forward to hitting up the new Kiosk when works are complete! Last week in Parliament I was more than happy to take a snap with ‘Brady’ to help highlight the need for volunteers for Graffiti Removal Day (GRD) 2021. Graffiti costs the NSW Government $300 million annually and since the establishment of Graffiti Removal Day in 2012 it has saved $10.40 million. Local Orange resident and recognised Citizen of the Year, Paul Cox is an active organiser and supporter of GRD and hopes this year will see more volunteers heavily invested in our town’s image. Graffiti Removal Day 2021 takes place on Sunday 28th March.

Bias

Against the Breeders

Hobby and home dog breeders are now being unfairly targeted by the RSPCA who are intrusively inspecting homes armed with unreasonable standards. A cascade of complaints are being received from hobbyist dog breeders across the Central West concerning the legislated code which does not differentiate a one-off backyard breeder from a commercial operation. Legislation already exists for welfare of animals, so family pets shouldn’t be swept-up in an indiscriminate assault by the RSPCA on families in our towns.

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

One of my mother’s most useful gifts to me when I was young was her copy of 'The Commonsense Cookery Book.' I think, considering the much used condition of the book, that it was probably an original copy which was published in 1914 by the Cookery Teachers Association. It certainly was aimed at someone like me who could hardly boil water at that stage, and I relied heavily on it for quite some years. One of the most memorable recipes was how to make toast which began with the words “first light your fire.” We appear to have come a long way from those simple days, judging by the plethora of mouthwatering recipe books in the shops and the prevalence of cooking shows on TV. Restaurants and fast food outlets have become a big feature of our lives and it seems that far fewer people are cooking and eating at home. In the days when 'takeaway' meant fish and chips wrapped in newspaper, we were far less sophisticated in our tastes and, apart from the local Chinese which we occasionally patronised, and the Greek cafes which served very Australian meals anyway, we were completely unused to eating anything at all which could be classified as 'foreign.' These were the days which the Oral History group brought to mind. In those far off times our mothers appear to have been always trying to fill us up. When we came home from school, often after having walked a few miles, we tucked into bread and jam, like Stuart, or delicious bread and condensed milk was enjoyed by Dick. Many remembered the 'stodgy puddings' also aimed at keeping us full, like custard, junket, bread and butter pudding, rice and sago and the hated tapioca pudding. “I really disliked suet pudding," said John, with a reminiscent shudder, echoed by most of the group. “Chokos could be cooked with many fruits,

Once the meal was over though, without the distraction of television, John’s father would encourage his family to have robust discussions, which probably accounted for the success the children had later in school debating.

Changes in FAMILY LIFE. 2

Food and Eating Food, glorious food, hot chocolate and mustard, While we’re in the mood, cold jelly and custard.”

But it was fresh bread straight from the baker’s hands which really enthused us. Sometimes, carrying it home, it became all too difficult and very often by the time it arrived, the middle had been scooped out and the soft doughy inside completely eaten. Although we may have eaten healthy vegetables grown in our gardens, the way we cooked it was not always the most satisfying. “My mother spent her life preserving fruit,” said Kerrel. “I suppose there was no other way to keep it without refrigeration, but it never tasted the same.” Gillian agreed. “My mother had to cook on a fuel stove but the vegetables were cooked almost forever and soda was added to the greens to improve

Again, without other distractions, one could listen to the radio, play board games and cards and even read a good book. “My mother was a keen card player and she taught me to play,” said Dick. “We also played snakes and ladders, ludo and draughts." Others were enthusiastic about Monopoly and Chinese checkers and many listened to the radio. “I loved Randy Stone in “Night Beat,” confessed Leslye. Most of the group could name at least one radio show of long ago.

- From “Oliver! Written by Lionel Bart. taking on their colour and adding bulk to the otherwise scanty meals,” remembered Brian.

It also seems to have been a time for communication between generations, at least for some! Meals were shared at tables with members of the extended family and the days doings were discussed and future plans made.

the colour!” “My mother was forever cooking,” said Joe, who is of Lebanese heritage. "Even when we were eating she was already preparing the next meal.” Joe was also lucky enough to have a more varied and exotic diet than most of the group. But it is the way we ate our meals that has probably changed the most. “We always ate at 5.30 or 6pm and went to bed soon after because we had no electricity,” said Lynne. However most of us remembered having a meal interrupted by calls from parents for complete silence during the 7pm radio broadcast, especially during the war. Mick’s grandfather sternly directed children “to be seen and not heard”, and no child could leave the table without eating everything on the plate.

Dad and Dave, First Light Fraser, Foo Manchu, and The Lux Radio Theatre were all favourites. Then Gillian remembered the Argonauts Club to which she and quite a few others belonged. It was something which probably wouldn’t appeal to today’s generation and difficult to believe that children were encouraged to write stories, poems, draw pictures and compose music to be sent into the ABC to be judged worthy of winning points to reach the Golden Fleece, towards which, of course the Argonauts in the good ship Argo were rowing. The food we ate, the way we ate it and the time we spent before bedtime have certainly changed. But it is good to think about those times when we had to do without many of the wonders which entrance the children of today. COPYRIGHT HELEN MCANULTY 2021

Kids Stuff Music and your Child #1 By Ruth Thompson, Early Childhood Music Specialist and teacher

The main difference between music and words is that words have precise meanings, whereas music does not. Music can suggest and thus develop imagination and creativeness whereas words describe. Using instrumental music with your child is another powerful way to engage their whole body in music making and as it is non verbal, responding to the patterns and character of music, can be done long before speech. Another facet of enjoying a carefully chosen piece of classical music, is that it provides your child and yourself with an aesthetic experience; one that connects hearts. Two of my favourite pieces are 1) Delibes: Pizzicato Polka – an example of classical music that lends itself well to creative movement and responding with movement to patterns in the music as they emerge. Listen first to the music (available on iTunes) and experiment with twirling, tip toeing or creeping, swaying with baby, moving forwards and backwards, starting and stopping. All these actions accompanied by the music, develops aural memory and discriminatory listening, so vital for later literacy.

10CC – Four Talented individuals, one brilliant band.

Let me introduce you to the people that made up UK Art Rock/Progressive Pop/ Soft Rock band that went under the name “10CC.” The first is the only constant of the band: bass player, singer, and songwriter Graeme Gouldman. Being the mainstay of “10CC” from the outset does not mean he didn’t do his own thing from time to time though, with a solo hit (and “earworm”), “Sunburn” reaching number 26 in Australia in 1979. Before helping to found “10CC,” Gouldman had already established himself as a successful songwriter. His writing credits include “The Yardbirds” “For your love” and “Heart full of soul,” along with “Look Through any Window” and “Bus Stop” for “The Hollies,” “No Milk Today” for “Herman’s Hermits” and the Wayne Fontana hit “Pamela Pamela.” Eric Stewart was a guitarist and singer who had also experienced music industry success prior to joining “10CC.” His main claim to fame was as a member of “The Mindbenders”, Which also featured Wayne Fontana. Australian music fans are likely to best know “The Mindbenders” through their mid-60’s hit “Groovy Kind of Love.”

30 FEBRUARY 18—24, 2021

Kevin Godley was 10CC’s drummer and vocalist. Lol Creme played guitar and sang. Both Godley and Creme had known Gouldman at school and in 1970 they recorded a single together, along with Eric Stewart, called “Neanderthal Man,” but at that stage they were not really a properly formed band. It was 1972 before the pieces came together and “10CC” officially came into being. “10CC” had its own sound and each of the members had individual writing and music production sensibilities. They made a massive splash on the Australian charts with their first actual single release, “Rubber Bullets.” It went to number 1 very quickly both here and in the UK but failed in the United States. Two years later “10CC” was again in the top 10 with their soft rock hit “I’m Not in Love.” By then they had built a following in the “Adult Contemporary Rock” scene, which meant they often sold huge numbers of albums while their singles acted as a bit of marketing. If they were also hit singles, well that was a bit of cream on top! “I’m Not in Love” was followed by several singles that failed to chart in Australia, but LP’s kept selling in bulk for them. In 1976, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme felt the

creative differences within the band had meant they could not remain for the recording and release of the band’s 5th studio LP “Deceptive Bends”. That album produced another “10CC” classic hit, with “The Things We Do for Love” becoming another top 10 smash on the Australian charts. 1978 was the biggest year for “10CC” with a smash hit everyone knows: “Dreadlock Holiday.” It peaked at number 2 in Australia, and was a number 1 in the UK, Belgium, Netherlands, and New Zealand. The cricket references in the song possible left North Americans confused, and the song only made 44 in the United States and 30 in Canada. It turned out to be the last time “10CC” would have chart success in Australia. But Godley and Creme would remind us in 1979 that aspects of the “10CC” sound were not gone yet. Although their hit single, released under the “Godley and Creme” name sounded very different to much of the commercially successful “10CC” material, fans enjoyed the success of “An Englishman in New York” for its quirkiness that was reminiscent of some of the band’s album tacks over the years. Some of the names that have an association

with the members of “10CC” read like a who’s who. It probably highlights where they sat within the UK music industry. Members collaborated with or had close associations with “The Moody Blues,” Neil Sedaka, George Harrison, “Asia,” “The Police,” “Duran Duran,” “Frankie Goes to Hollywood,” Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Herbie Hancock, among others. Some of those collaborations specifically involved Godley and Creme and their success in branching out into the world of music videos. Graeme Gouldman’s pre “10CC” collaborations mentioned earlier in the column speak for themselves. Both he and Eric Stewart remain partners in one of the UK’s most successful recording studio, “Strawberry Studios”, which they have owned since the late 60’s. That turned out to be a good business decision in its own right! In all, Graeme Gouldman has played with 19 different “10CC” band members in the studio and on stage. At only 74 he has continued to tour using the “10CC” name. At their hit making peak, they were one truly great band and long may the name linger!

It is shaping up to be a great night out at the recently upgraded Canowindra Showgrounds. With food stalls, bar and live music from 5.00pm, this family friendly outdoor event will feature the amazing musical talents of 2020 ARIA nominated, Gordi. Gordi (aka Canowindra’s Sophie Payton) wrapped up 2018 by being awarded the inaugural Songwriter Award at the Australian Women in Music

Awards, before joining Sam Smith on his sold-out arena tour around Australia and New Zealand — all while completing her medical degree.

The CEF live music fundraiser also has the support of Bonny Rai, Ben Nash (78 Saab), Joe Wythes who will be sharing the stage throughout the evening.

After years of studying and an International tour scheduled for 2020, Gordi packed up her Sydney home and made a move to London to focus on her music. But the events of 2020 intervened and Sophie returned home to Australia to work in hospitals throughout Melbourne in the midst of COVID lock down.

Bring your camp chairs or picnic blankets, but no BYO as this is a licensed event. Tickets are available online from Eventbrite. Gates open at 5pm.

Her album ‘Our Two Skins’ was released last year to such acclaim that she was nominated for one of Australis’s most prestigious music awards at the 2020 Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) awards for her efforts.

The Country Education Foundation Canowindra provides much needed financial assistance and support to local youth to help them achieve their post high school education, training and vocation aspirations.

St Paul’s Anglican Church Carcoar

A ‘Call to Arms’

Garden Club Donations The Orange Garden Club held its first meeting of 2021 at the Orange Botanic Gardens after almost 12 months in recess. There were over 60 members in attendance. The club recently made donations of $3,000-00 to both the Orange Beekeepers Group Inc as well as the Eurobodalla Regional Botanic Gardens near Batemans Bay. The bushfires of 2020 had devastating effects on the bee industry and seriously impacted much of the beautiful Botanic Gardens on the south coast. President of the Orange Beekeepers Group, Cameron Wild was the guest speaker at the February meeting and spoke about the many different facets of beekeeping and how their club will use the donated funds.

Heart Support Australia’s CEO invites locals to establish peer support groups in the Orange Bathurst region Heart Support Australia’s CEO, Judy Ford is visiting Bathurst and Orange to promote the organisation and to engage with those who may be interested in joining peer support groups. Heart Support Australia reaches out to all Australians, especially in remote, rural, and regional areas and provides them with the programs and services they need to improve their quality of life following a heart condition and to help reduce the risk of a secondary heart event. “I’m looking for volunteers to champion these support groups and to be representatives or leaders who will regularly connect with our head office in Canberra”, says Judy. A large number (up to 69%) of residents in Orange and Bathurst area, suffer from some form of cardiovascular condition and have a high risk of experiencing a second heart event.

Heart Support Australia is looking to start peer support groups in Orange and Bathurst to help heart patients prevent secondary heart events. Through monthly meetings these support groups provide an opportunity to share personal experiences and information and education on how to follow a healthy lifestyle to assist in ongoing heart health. Heart Support Australia aims to establish more branches across Australia in regional and remote areas where rehabilitation services are not always accessible. Judy advises that “cardiac rehabilitation is one of the most important post cardiac services with the management of cardiac risk factors being an essential component in preventing further heart disease, reducing the occurrence of secondary cardiac events and establishing healthy lifestyle patterns for the future”.

For further information about Heart Support Australia, please visit their website at www.heartsupport.org.au If you are in interested in starting a support group or becoming involved, please reach out to Judy and her staff on office@heartnet.org.au or call us on 02 6253 0097.

Hatches Remember Neville Sellwood? John Payne writes:

Neville Francis “Nifty” Sellwood (One of Australia’s best ever jockeys)

One of the most successful jockeys Australia has ever known, Brisbane-born, Neville Sellwood, was in France under contract to the stables of the Aga Khan. He rode Lucky Seven, trained by Alex Head in the sixth race, the Prix de la Hezire, on a wet track at the Maison Lafitte course in Paris, France, on Wednesday, November 7th. After the field had travelled about 1000 metres in the race, Lucky Seven crossed its legs and fell, rolling on the jockey, thereby severely crushing him. Removed from the course by ambulance, he was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. The 39-y-o jockey, born in Hamilton, Queensland, had served his apprenticeship with Brisbane trainer and former jockey, Jim Shean, a brother of former jockey, Fred Shean Sellwood had won most of the major races in Australia, including two Melbourne Cups, the first on Delta, in 1951, and the second on Toparoa, in 1955. He had ridden Todman to win the inaugural Golden Slipper at Rosehill in 1957, as well as Tulloch in many of his wins, having also won the Sydney Jockeys Premiership on six occasions. Having also won the Caulfield Cup (with Delta in 1949), winning again in 1950 (Basha Felika) – 1951 (Grey Boots) and 1957 (Tulloch), he thus became one of only a handful of riders who have won the “Big Four” (Melbourne Cup – Caulfield Cup – WS Cox Plate & Golden Slipper) He had also won aces in France and the USA. While apprenticed, he had his first race-ride at the Bundamba racecourse, Ipswich in 1938, with his first winner Ourimbah, coming at Doomben on March 11th1939. Located in Townsville for a period while serving with the AIF during WWll, Sellwood won the jockeys Premiership there on three occasions, riding 140 winners from 290 rides. Soon after his military discharge, he linked with Sydneytrainer and former leading New Zealand-born jockey, Maurice McCarten, in 1946. After winning the 1951 Melbourne Cup on Delta, the owner of the horse, (Sir) Adolph Basser, presented Sellwood with a Rolls Royce car. Since relocating overseas in 1961, Sellwood had won the 1961 English Derby on Larkspur, after six horses had crashed to the turf

directly in front of him and was leading the current French Jockeys Premiership with 90 wins at the time of his death, ultimately tying at seasons end, after his death, with Europe’s legendary Yves Saint-Martin for the title. With his mother initially wanting her son to take up the profession of a solicitor, Sellwood deliberately under-performed at school to nullify her ambitions, working for a period in a pharmacy after leaving school, before taking up his riding apprenticeship.

KEITH GRAHAM BECKINGHAM BORN: 30/02/2021 WEIGHT: 3110g PARENTS: Amanda Beckingham of Orange and Joshua Archbold of Wellington SIBLINGS: Ethan Meli; James Meli; Leyla Meli GRANDPARENTS: Heath and Susan Beckingham of Orange

Together with his wife and children, the body of the son of Mr Charles Sellwood and his wife, Mrs Amy Elizabeth Sherman (nee Goan), was returned to Australia, and interred in the Cudal Cemetery, near Orange, having earlier purchased a significant rural property near Cudal. Leading European trainer, Alex Head, always maintained that Sellwood was the best jockey he had ever seen, with many overseas jockeys and trainers declaring him as “the complete jockey”. Sellwood, left a widow, Mrs Alwyn Grace “Bub” Sellwood (nee Dinnar), a former waitress, a son, Neville jnr, who also became an amateur jockey, at one time, riding the infamous Fine Cotton when it was trained in Wellington, and two daughters, Gai (later, Mrs Fardell and President of the Orange Picnic Race Club) and Ann (later Mrs Hill, a stud owner near Blayney NSW). He had ridden about 1,500 winners during his riding career, including 84 Group 1 races, and was inducted into the Australian Racing Hall of Fame in 2002. About 2-years after the jockey’s death, his wife, Alwyn, remarried in Sydney to 42-y-o grazier Keith Sullivan, of “Shepherd’s Creek” Euchareena, near Orange, before passing away in July 2018, at age 94, also buried at Cudal cemetery, opposite the grave of her first husband. A grand-son, Talan Hill, served time riding trackwork at Lindsay Park in South Australia for the Hayes family, before becoming apprenticed to Orange-based trainer, Pat Cass. Increasing weight forced him to give up the idea of race-riding, instead opting to ride trackwork in Sydney for leading trainer, Gai Waterhouse, and more lately, for Canberra-based trainer, Keith Dryden.
