Locals and visitors who are missing-out on the annual community Christmas dinner that provides so much cheer and comfort to those on their own each yuletide have not been forgotten by Orange Council. Plans are afoot for a Meals on Wheels type service to deliver individuals dinners to those who will miss-out on this wonderful annual event. “Council's having talks with the organisers of the event that was cancelled this year due to COVID-19 about replacing it with something that would, in a small way, help those who can’t come this year,” Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said. Whether this becomes a meal delivered on the day, or foods such as hams and the like delivered before Christmas Day, has not yet been decided, Cr Kidd said.
Christmas is coming, and the Colour City is planning a bottler of a celebration with live music, art shows, and an innovative laser show for New Year’s Eve.

The post-COVID Christmas celebration plans could include a Council has also committed to a major Vivid-style lightshow huge live concert in Robertson Park, art exhibitions utlising on New Year’s Eve to replace the traditional fireworks vacant shop-fronts in the main street, and a New Year’s laser cancelled last year due to the drought and widespread show to replace the traditional fireworks display.

FOR ORANGE
It was ironic that the meeting at which permanent water saving standards were decided on by Orange City Council followed Councillor Scott Munro’s proposal to remove water restrictions totally as a reward for the good work of locals over the past few years. However, it probably shouldn’t have taken about 40 minutes of meeting time for the idea to be fully-rejected. The sometimes-prickly debate could probably have been wrapped-up a little more expeditiously, one suspects, if not for some point-scoring on the matter. In the end, even Cr Munro finally voted against the proposal with the idea punted by a unanimous 11-0 verdict. It has been suggested that the face-to-face meeting about the Anson Street mall wasn’t as positive as the podcast https://www. orange.nsw.gov.au/the-orange-podcast/ suggests. Newswatch has interviewed a number of retailers in the block affected by the pedestrian mall idea that were less than enthusiastic about its effect on their businesses at a time of what one might call — with typical British understatement — subdued business confidence.

OUTDOOR POOL BACK IN ACTION Orange Aquatic Centre — what a former generation used to call less-portentously “The Baths” — has recently re-opened its beautiful outdoor 50-metre Olympic pool. But for all keen swimmers, Council has confirmed, that all is not as it was. “If you’d like to swim laps you’ll need to call ahead and book a lane, but for just having a muck around with mates in the sun and the water, you can come along anytime within the opening hours,” Orange City Council’s Sport and Recreation Chair, Councillor Jason Hamling said. “We’ll be keeping a close eye on the restrictions as we head into summer and we hope we’ll be able to accommodate everyone but, in the meantime, please be respectful and understanding of the government imposed caps on numbers.” The leisure pool and 25 metres pool are also open. For all lap swimming please phone ahead to book a lane. Lap swimming sessions are one hour but there is no time limit on leisure swimming. Parents and children in Learn to Swim lessons may also stay after the lesson for swimming for as long as they like.

Newswatch — relying as we mostly all still do on the efficiency of one of our big-four banks (in this case, Westpac) — for our financial lifeblood, has been subject recently to a rather-odd electronic outage. While deposits can still be processed using e-banking, for a number days there has appeared no way to assign the depositor’s name or reference, with money suddenly just appearing in the payee’s account.
Newswatch publisher, Regional Life Group, is in this pickle and can’t put a reference on payments and also cannot put new account details in either. Putting their very best newshound onto the case, Westpac seemed at first surprised at the issue, but eventually came back with the response that some customers may be experiencing issues with entering information into a payee reference or description field when making a payment using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers. A Westpac spokesperson said: “We’re aware of an issue currently affecting some online banking features. Customers can still access these features using an alternative internet browser or the Westpac mobile banking app. We expect this issue to be resolved in the coming days and thank customers for their patience.” They added that a number of simple workarounds we’re in place with details on their website: https://www.westpac.com.au/personal-banking/ services/browser-payments-chrome-edge/

THIS PARKING LIFE RETURNS TO NORMAL — WORSE LUCK
Was it really any harder to find a parking place? Makes one wonder whether our strict parking requirements, half-hour for the main street, one hour for most side-streets, are actually all that necessary.
GOOD DEED OF THE WEEK!
Well-dressed as he normally is, our Newswatch correspondent was no-less flattered to be mistaken for a local lawyer when approached recently by goodSamaritan Michael Griffith, pictured. Michael had just retrieved from a kerb in the CBD a local solicitor’s personal ID wallet containing a number of important electronic identification and magnetic access keys when he approached our correspondent to enquire what to do with the vital wallet. Directed to the Court House, he found it empty but delivered it to the Police Station opposite. If anyone has ever experienced the absolute empty feeling of losing their personal ID’s, one can appreciated the gratitude in finding their faith in humanity restored when a stranger has made the effort to make sure their belongings are returned to their owner.

Nationals are on the nose and Berejiklian should go, Donato State Nationals are in a dysfunctional relationship with the Liberal Party and are no longer capable of representing the interests of country people, Local Member Phil Donato has claimed. Disorder in the Coalition Government was evidenced by the failed Nationals uprising against the so-called “Koala maps” which set-down large rural areas of the State for protection of the endangered species and recent revelations of Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s clandestine affair with disgraced former MP, Daryl Maguire. “I don’t think she can stay-on,” the Shooters, Fishers, and Farmers MP said of the embattled Premier. “I don’t think it’s redeemable; you can’t turn a blind eye to corruption,” Mr Donato added. A current Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) hearing recently heard tapped phone calls showing that, not only had Ms Berejiklian continued here relationship with Mr Maguire after he was forced to leave Parliament due to corruption allegations, but she had also cheered-on many of his dubious influence-peddling schemes. Ms Berejiklian offered in her defence that her relationship with Maguire was of a casual, sporadic nature and that it was nobody else’s business. “I couldn’t care less about her relationships,” Mr Donato emphasised. “But she clearly knew what was going-on and willfully turned a blind-eye to corruption, and this relationship continued after he left Parliament.” “I mean there’s a text message where he said he was going to make $5000 on a commission and she responded ‘Congrats, great news! Whoo-hoo!’.” He said that the dysfunctional nature of the Nationals/Liberals coalition was shown by the extraordinary recent suggestion by National’s leader and Deputy Premier, John Barilaro that backbenchers — opposed to the Koala Mapping proposals —sit on the cross-benches with National’s Ministers still to receive their entitlements. The State Nationals, Mr Donato argues, are now in a bind — between their membership of a Government dominated by left-wing
North Shore and Eastern Suburbs Liberal parliamentarians obsessed with emblematic issues like climate change and genderempowerment — and a rising Shooters Party and resurgent One Nation under former Labor Leader, Mark Latham. “That’s why we saw John Barilaro kick-up a stink about the koala issue. Everyone knew it was only ever an excuse. They felt they had to show country people that they were standing-up to the Liberals; fighting for conservative values.” He said though that the dominance of the Liberals over their Coalition partners was illustrated by the short-lived rebellion petering out in less than a day; one MP resigning from the Nationals and joining the Liberals; and Mr Barilaro soon-after taking leave for mental health issues.
Phil Donato on Premier’s position: ...I don’t think it’s redeemable; you can’t turn a blind eye to corruption.”
“They always end-up rolling-over; ultimately, they are a rubber-stamp for the Libs,” Mr Donato said. “While ever the Left are dictating the Government — inner city and North Shore elites — they’ll be taking the Nationals with them,” he said. Ms Berejiklian’s troubles started with Maguire resigning in 2018 after credible allegations of attempts to profit via influencepeddling of his Parliamentary position. He is now at the centre of an ICAC investigation, which is examining, among other things, his use of public office to help the developer and racing heir Louise Waterhouse sell her land near the proposed western Sydney airport. Mr Donato said that, if former Premier Barry O’Farrell could be forced to resign in 2014 after forgetting his receipt of a bottle of Grange Hermitage from a lobbyist, then that should make Ms Berejiklian’s position untenable. He said that the Premier’s high-ratings for the State’s handling of the coronavirus crisis and the personal sympathy of many of the public and her colleagues is the only thing protecting her from greater calls to resign. “I know she’s done a good job on COVID and many people feel for her, but in the end, she’s the Premier, she has to set the example for her government. “From her own admissions in the telephone intercept, she clearly knew what he was doing,” Mr Donato concluded.

LOOK OUT ORANGE, WE’RE GOI Robertson Park concert to say, we’re back and unbowed — Clr
Performance-starved musicians and music lovers could be in for a Christmas 2020 treat with proposal for a major “farewell to COVID-19” concert in Robertson Park.
"Art Explosion" a step closer for Colour City Christmas Orange could be the same,” Cr Kidd said. “People want the full tourism experience ,” he added.
Promoter of the event, Councillor Scott Munro, said that the concert would be a perfect chance to end our eventful 2020 on a bang.
Mr Spirek believes that opening-up vacant CBD shopfronts could provide our coronavirus-impacted arts scene with fresh opportunities and create a vibrant and colourful industry that would attract thousands of visitors to Orange.
“I took the motion to the last Council meeting and the meeting gave Council staff the okay to look at having a COVID-safe concert,” Cr Munro said.
“I’ve got five groups and seven individual painters interested… I know a lot of artists looking for studio space, we just don’t have the studio space!” he said.
He said that his initial proposal for the event to be held in the Orange Botanic Gardens has now transformed into an event in central Orange using the historic bandstand at Robertson Park as the focus.
With long-term local government experience, he is happy to act as the go-between for artist seeking to promote their works to a wider audience.
“Council staff have suggested that we can safely have up to 500 people at the event in Robertson Park; they would be spread out around the bandstand so that they can see all round,” he explained.
His current exhibition is at Bowral in the Southern Highlands due to lack of exhibition space in the Colour City. “Oh yeah, I’d much rather exhibit here. Orange has got two small galleries and they’re really selective. I can get exhibitions in Sydney or Bowral, but I’m buggered if I can get one in Orange,” he ruefully observed.
He said that performers from the Conservatorium of Music in Orange who, like most musicians have had to get by with little or no live performances since the coronavirus lockdown, will likely feature at the concert. “We haven’t set a date, but we’re looking at before Christmas… it would be a great way to end the year after the one that we’ve all had,” he said. He said that confirmation of the concert is likely to be confirmed once NSW has lifted more of the restrictions that helped control the coronavirus pandemic. “So many musicians and little kids have had to put their concerts and live performances on hold for this year, and it would be wonderful to have a concert before Christmas,” Cr Munro said. “Hopefully, we’ll have it before the end of the year, we’re just waiting for the Government to loosen the reins,” he added. He said the concert is likely to be free with Council staff now working through the logistics of the event. “We’ll probably have a few Christmas carols as well to really make it a genuine Christmas event.” He believes that it is time that Colour City, with so few cases of the virus affecting locals, was allowed to get back to our lives without the disease hanging like a pall over the City and region. “We can’t be scared; we’ve got to be strong. “Everyone’s saying, ‘you can’t do this, you can’t do that’ but what about our lives? At some time, we have to be allowed to get back to making our own decisions,” Cr Munro said. He said that the concert would be the ideal way to show that we have gone through a difficult time, but now we are facing the future with confidence. “It’s for the community, the people of Orange, and the kids who haven’t had anywhere to play their concerts, to say that we are on the road to recovery,” he concluded.
Orange’s proposed “Art Explosion” pop-up Christmas Art Festival could be on!
The bold plan by distinguished, Orange-based painter, Hank Spirek moved a step closer after he recently addressed Orange Council on his plans. Orange 360 and Arts OutWest have given a boost to the proposal with letters of support for the art exhibitions in Orange’s main street to provide a colourful festive season. “My vision is for artists to join with Council to install art displays and an appropriate number of major exhibitions in empty store fronts windows,” Mr Spirek told the Council meeting. He envisaged Council responsibilities to include providing pepper-corn rent for owners. insurance, and electricity expenses; to provide a contact person to navigate issues arising, and to provide a banking facility where purchased works can be deposited and only released to artists when facilities are vacated at the agreed upon date. He added that the desired results would include: “drawing foot traffic to the CBD; helping promote Orange as a centre for art, and encouraging local artists to work together. Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd is excited by the proposal and personally invited Mr Spirek to address the Council meeting to get the plan on track. He sees greater exposure and utilisation of Orange’s vibrant arts scene as another string in the bow to attracting tourist visitors to the Colour City. “When you go to Paris, say, you go for the food, the wine, the architecture, the culture, but also the art galleries,

“I was originally in Crookwell, but I came to Orange because it was known for its art,” he added. His appeal in the “Newswatch” of August 29 for vacant shops in the main street to be leased by Council at peppercorn rents to local artists created a wave of interest in the local arts community. The Mayor said that Council is often unfairly blamed for retailers closing in the CBD, a commercial decision that often has nothing to do with Council. “If someone says, ‘I’m not selling enough coffee’ or whatever, people can’t then say, ‘why did Council let the coffee shop close down?’. The rule is, is if you don’t use it, you lose it,” he added. He said though that the art pop-up idea is one way that vacant shop-fronts could become centres of commercial art and tourist hubs. “I like the concept. No-one likes to see vacant shops. Now, if we can find a way for art to show in the shops, we should look at it,” Cr Kidd added. “We have to ask Council and the artists; ‘are you willing to support it?’ Each group would have ownership,” he said. Mr Spirek believes that that the shopfront idea should not become a permanent feature of the main street, but something focused on major religious and cultural festivals, such as Christmas and FOOD Week. “We could do something for each festival, there’s plenty of work available from good artists looking for somewhere to display,” he said. Cr Kidd said that a vibrant, commercially-focused arts scene could become another thread to Orange’s tourism bow along with food, wine, and our natural and heritage beauty.

ING OUT WITH A BANG IN 2020! Fireworks out and lasers in for New Year’s Eve 2020 Cr Kidd is already excited about the event. “I’m impressed that Kennards Hire has recognised the value of an event like this for the Orange community and has put up their hand to bring it together,” Cr Kidd said. “A community celebration at this time of the year will be very important.” Mr McMahon said planning will now begin in earnest. “We had to wait on the Council decision before we could take the idea too far, but now planning can really step-up. We’ve involved local public relations firm Manning PR as the key organisers with the local experience to bring the event together. We’ve already been in touch with a laser production house in Sydney that will produce the show.” “They project the laser images onto a fine mist of water that catches the light, and lets the audience see what’s happening. Each misting machine only uses five litres of water for the whole show, so it’s sensible amount of water use.” “There are many, many details still be sorted and a very tight deadline. We’ll look to have a public launch once those details are sorted, but we want to have an accessible ‘gold coin donation’ entry, to an alcohol-free, family-friendly event in the heart of Orange at Wade Park. “We’ll have to comply with whatever COVID-safe restrictions are in place by then, and that might keep crowd number down to say 2500 people. We want to look at live streaming the event so others can enjoy the show,” he concluded.
Fireworks are out and a world-class laser and water-mist show are in for New Year’s Eve 2020 in Orange.
Orange City Council is backing plans by local operators of Kennards Hire to take the annual NYE celebrations in a new direction replacing fireworks with a major laser show at Wade Park. “The event will not just be a series of images but will likely tell the 'story of Orange' from the Wiradjuri onwards," one of the organisers of the experience said. And the way that Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd sees it, this could be the end of a beloved tradition that goes back to the invention of gunpowder in ancient China. “This will likely be in perpetuity,” Cr Kidd said. "These laser shows are not weather-dependent, you don’t need all the regulations and fire-fighters and safety measures and fire restrictions that go with fireworks. “You don’t have the problem with neighbourhood dogs going mad and we can have it in Wade Park, we don’t have to go up to Waratahs,” he added. “We can have it in town, we may make it a gold coin donation, and have it broadcast by one of the local television stations,” he added.
While the event will be based on the “VIVID” laser shows broadcast onto buildings in Sydney, the Orange event will feature a virtual screen created by water vapour creating a fog effect. “This display is designed for the open-air, we use misters and fog and then project the laser onto that,” Luke Compt from Kennards Hire explained. “We just thought it was a good community thing to do; on the whole, we’ve had a traumatic year… and we decided to try and give something back to the community,” he said. Orange City Council’s recent meeting decided to sponsor the event with $30,000 worth of funding with proposed organiser of the event. Kennard Hire Regional Manager, Craig McMahon welcoming the news of the funding support. “We’ve been involved behind the scenes in the ‘NYE Party under the stars’ for a number of years now and we’ve seen what a fantastic community event it is,” Mr McMahon said. “We want to see it continue and that’s why we approached Council to see if something could happen.” “Last year at the height of the summer there was some debate about staging a fireworks display. The quality of laser shows that are now available really solves that problem. The plans are to have a 45-minute spectacular display that will bring local families together.”

COVID-19 call on Aus Day celebrations — Mayor Whether Orange’s traditional Australia Day celebrations can go ahead as per previous years will be subject to a call next month by Council. Nominations are now being called for Orange Citizen of the Year and five other awards for locals who have helped make the Colour City the great place to live that it is. Australia Day celebrations in Orange normally include citizenship ceremonies, a community award event, and celebrations in Cook Park including fun rides and community stalls, but the coronavirus has now put all such events in doubt. “We’re going to discuss it at our meeting early next month, we simply don’t know at this stage,” Orange Mayor, Councilor Reg Kidd said. “It may come to the point where we have to make some fairly hard decisions,” he said. “However, I’m hoping that things have lifted enough by then to have a traditional Australia Day,” Cr Kidd said hopefully.

Halloween is more than just tacky hangings and costumes
Halloween is one of those seemingly-innocent recent traditions that divides Australians between those who enjoy its kitsch gaucherie and others who see it as another sign of creeping American cultural imperialism. But for many from Irish and British descent, it is a genuine folk festival of spooky story-telling and twilight
walks in the woods with traditions going back to pre-Christian times.
of gaudy, frightening masks and costumes is a feature of the festival.
Originally from the Celtic Samhain festival that marked the end of the harvest season around October 31 and the beginning of winter — the “darker half ” of the year — it was believed to be a time when the boundary between this world and the “Otherworld” thinned.
Throughout Ireland and Britain, the household festivities included rituals and games intended to foretell one’s future, especially regarding death and marriage.
Wearing of masks and puttingup scary tokens was therefore believed to protect the living from the vengeful dead. Later the date became aligned with the Catholic and Christian feast days of All Souls Day and All Saints (Hallows) Day. In Mexico, the Day of the Dead is a holiday involving family and friends gathering to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died and helping support their spiritual journey. Again, wearing
In Scotland, these bonfires and divination games were banned by the church but in Wales, bonfires were lit to “prevent the souls of the dead from falling to earth” and to keep “away the devil”.
The festival also included special bonfires whose flames, smoke and ashes were believed to have protective and cleansing powers.
This pagan/Christian Celtic festival is believed to have been brought to the United States by Irish immigrants in the 1920s and 1930s. Its folk traditions of carving turnips and pumpkins and lighting bonfires, bobbing for apples, and telling scary stories on night walks, has since then given way to the commercialised event of gaudy costumes and “Trick or Treating”.
In some areas, torches lit from the bonfire were carried around homes and fields to protect them as the fires were considered to mimic the Sun and thereby holding back the decay and darkness of winter.
Halloween first came to Australia via adult fancy-dress parties near the date of the festival and then graduated, via large marketing drives from supermarket chains, to young children and families.
Apples and nuts were often used in these divination rituals. They included apple-bobbing, nutroasting, mirror-gazing, pouring molten lead or egg whites into water, dream interpretation, and others.
Fun folk festival or tacky cultural import? Orange locals recently quizzed about our new tradition of celebrating Halloween (October 31) were pretty much decided on the question: “Is it a fun folk festival or tacky commercialised import from the United States?” But while most saw it for an American cultural copy, many were quite happy to go along and enjoy the festival for its own sake.
“At the moment, it is just crass commercialism and that is all it is,” Libby Tate (pictured with husband, Peter) said. “But it was not always that way; it used to be known as ‘All Hallows’; it was a religious festival,” she added. “We should have left it in America; it’s commercialised rubbish,” Kristen Smith said. She said that the American habit
of unaccompanied children in costume visiting neighbour’s houses for sweets — a tradition often portrayed in popular movies and television — should not be observed. “Kids going to strangers houses and getting treats, that really worries me,” she added. Although Barbara Bacon (pictured) sees Halloween as another example of “crass American commercialisation” of Australian culture, she says that the event is of no harm. “I used to think it was funny, but now all the stuff in the shops, ahhh,” she said. Like most opponents of the festival though, she doesn’t express her opinions to cherub-faced children in costume who come to her home on the night. “I still give them a coin,” she added. Charlotte Bell (pictured with daughter, Charlotte, aged five), is another local who expresses doubt as to the event’s worth but celebrates it for the kids. “I think it’s crap; but my daughter likes it and gets so much
fun out of it. She’s always been into scary things, it’s her favourite celebration each year, she loves it!” she added. Tom Barwick, (pictured) while acknowledging the festival’s somewhat dubious claims to authenticity, gets a hit out of the annual celebration of lollies, carved pumpkins, and plastic skeletons: “I love Halloween, I think it’s a crank. It’s getting bigger every year. In Australia, it’s becoming like America, it’s become that popular. “If people are sick of the children coming around and asking for stuff, then don’t go outside,” he advised.

“It’s commercialism pretty much, we don’t really celebrate it,” Adam Fleming (pictured with son, Benji) said. He added though that they also don’t leave local kids coming-around on the big night disappointed. “You don’t want to be a grinch though, we have something for kids, we don’t leave them hanging,” he added. Rob George (pictured) is ambivalent about whether our latest American cultural import is crass commercialism or folk tradition: “It depends, it can be argued both ways. If you’re taking kids around and seeing the neighbours and the like, there’s no hurt in it. I don’t see too much harm in it to be honest,” he said. “Of course, you know that it is a deeplyrooted pagan festival?” he concluded.

“WATER, WATER, EVERYWHER Why does a city with some of the highest rainfall totals in western NSW, have seemingly-permanent water restrictions? PART IV of a Newswatch report, “Water Water…”
It’s official! Council adopts permanent water savings In a sign that Orange City Council is getting increasingly-serious about our water situation, their most recent meeting adopted permanent water saving standards. The permanent water saving standards will now come into effect when the combined water storage level of Suma Park Dam and Spring Creek Dam reach 80 per cent. The current storage level is 62 per cent, which places the city in level two water restrictions.
PERMANENT WATER SAVING STANDARDS:
Orange City Council’s Infrastructure Committee Chair, Cr Jeff Whitton said that the focus of the permanent water savings standards would be education and awareness. “Ultimately we want people to continue to be water conscious all of the time,” Cr Whitton said.
What they mean for ratepayers
“We’re not interested in fining people; we’re interested in educating people on how best to use this precious resource.”
LAWNS AND RESIDENTIAL GARDENS
He said that promoting these new standards would be a key element of the change.
• Watering systems, non-fixed sprinklers, hand-held hoses, micro-sprays, drip systems, soaker hoses permitted only • Between 6–9am, 6–9pm • Under the Odds and Evens system, if the street number of your property is odd (for instance: 173 Smith Street), you can water on odd dates of the month, alternatively, if the street number of your property is even (for instance, 22 Stuart Street), you can water on even dates
“We’ll be focusing on advertising campaigns and face-to-face visits with people who may need encouragement to comply with the standards.” If Suma Park Dam reaches 80 per cent, permanent water savings measures will come into effect, and if the level drops to 70 per cent, level two restrictions will be in place again.
IRRIGATION OF NEW TURF
• Permitted for one week after laying after which permanent water savings standards on watering lawns applies
WATER FEATURES
• Filling garden water features and topping up – permitted
FIRST FILL AND TOPPING UP OF SWIMMING POOLS/SPAS • Only between hours of 7– 9am and 6–8pm every day
WASHING DOWN WALLS OR PAVED SURFACES • An annual opportunity when permitted by Council
CHILDREN’S POOLS • Permitted
WASHING CARS AT HOME • Can wash with bucket and can rinse with a trigger hose
| Saturday 24 October, 2020 |
Orange Mayor, Cr Reg Kidd said there was very little practical difference between level two water restrictions and permanent water saving standards, but the new policy would ensure the city remained vigilant about water conservation. “Since August 2010 Orange residents have lived with water restrictions despite Suma Park Dam overflowing twice in that time,” Cr Kidd said. “We are water conscious and are exceptional role models to the rest of the state when it comes to making every drop count. “Adopting a set of permanent water saving standards makes what we’ve been used to the last 10 years, official. “These standards still enable everyone to go about their day to day living and keeping their gardens lush and healthy.” Under the new standards, there is no level one water restrictions. Instead, once the water level reaches 80 per cent Orange will enter permanent water saving standards. Permanent water saving standards operate using the same criteria as the current level two water restrictions. With the only exception being there is no time restrictions on car washing under permanent water saving standards.

RE, NOR ANY DROP TO DRINK” Colour City’s water strategies on the right track — advocate Breakfast Dinner in 2019, Water Minister, Melinda Pavey advocated for all options to be on the table to conserve water use.” For instance, he said, making a serious effort to see water tanks installed on as many houses as possible in Orange could have a huge impact on drought-proofing our city.
Look to the skies for our future water needs, Cyril Smith believes.
“Tanks on houses is one the big things that you can do that doesn’t require infrastructure. There’s a lot in town, but there needs to be more,” he said, practising what he preaches. I’m one of them, and I’m someone who is self-sufficient in water. With my tanks, I can gain 20,000 litres of water from a 60mm rain event. “That does for toilets, laundry, and for outside gardening and I even use it to water the lawns,” he said proudly.
Doom and gloom around Orange’s long-term water strategy is misplaced, the Colour City is doing things right when it comes to protecting our future, Cyril Smith believes. A dedicated aquaphile, he has coordinated dozens of local water groups with the intention of ensuring that we get, as a community, the best water for our buck. “What they’re doing is definitely the right thing, Council is on the right track with this,” he says, but adds some provisos on what Council could be doing better. “During this — National Water Week — now is the time to think about our most precious resource. “ “Management of the water is the problem, not the supply,” he added. “It is not the lack of water that is of concern, it is how we manage
Reimagining our Water Future during National Water Week
the available water.” He said that a bit of ‘truth serum’ is needed during droughts as to our actual water situation, this will inspire people to do their best for conservation. “It’s better to inform people of our actual situation at these times, rather than just give the spin on how well we are doing,” he believes. He said that Council’s integrated water resource strategy — utlising a range of sources including the main supply at Suma Park, a pipeline to the Macquarie River, and stormwater harvesting, to ensure a flexible and environmentally-manageable water system — can be complemented with other initiatives. “They must consider all of the options to conserve water though, not just the ones that they utlising at the moment. “At the Australian Water Association Annual
Every third week of October, the Australian Water Association (AWA) organises National Water Week and makes a splash across Australia, inspiring individuals, communities, and organisations to build awareness around the value of water. Access to clean water is hugely-important to our daily lives, and the AWA believes that it is down to all of us to protect our water environments and resources and use water wisely.
“For years and years, I’ve had a rainwater tank, and it stores beautiful rain-water, it tastes so different from tap-water,” he said. As well as providing more subsidies for rainwater tanks, Council should be mandating that the tanks are all a useful size. “If you could install rainwater tanks of a 10,000-litre minimum onto 4500 homes, that would save in the end about 90 Megalitres for our community,” he said. He fully-supports Orange Council’s recent decision to introduce permanent watersaving standards (see attached article). “In Victoria, they, are not standards, they are water-saving rules. They’re permanent and they are throughout the whole State,” he said. He said that Council should do away with Stage One and Two in their water restrictions and simply move the other stages back to being the basic water-use levels. “Council needs to go back and review its permanent water-saving strategies and refine
During the week, the AWA encourages water industry organisations, schools, and communities to create, take part in and promote National Water Week events, activities, and educational resources. The theme for 2020 is Reimagining our Water Future. The AWA believes that, as our population grows, this will put more stress on our water resources, so they ask Australians how they can reimagine the way we use and reuse water to ensure there’s enough of it in the future?

the categories that they use,” he added. He said that, as much as anything, it is a bad look for a regional centre like ours to always be on seemingly-permanent water restrictions. “One thing this Council is looking at is transitioning to a water-positive city.” He said that huge advances have been made in how we as a community view water as a resource. “I have to congratulate Council on their awareness and education programs, they’ve been tremendous in changing water-use behaviour. “The Orange community are most willing to accept water-use guidelines as long as they are consistent and fairly-applied,” he added. “I’m a great supporter of stormwater harvesting, but we must remember that we can’t use it all. All our stormwater must have environmentally-sustainable flows remaining in our streams,” he said. “There is plenty of water, the question is how we allocate its use… whether it’s for townships for drinking, agriculture for food (and fibre) production, urban use for commercial and industry, and for mining.” He said that the building of large-scale dams is no longer the answer to our water needs. “I’m very cautious about advocating for dams because, when you build a dam, you lose a lot of the water in evaporation. You can lose half the water in the dam that would otherwise be used just this way,” he said. He said though that Council should explore the option of a pipeline to Wyangala Dam south of Blayney. “The new pipeline to Spring Creek dam is a great initiative.” “Council is on the right track, they just need a bit of refinement and good messaging to the community,” he concluded.
One of their innovative promotions this year which Orange City Council encouraged residents to consider joining in was a ‘Water Night’ campaign urging people not to turn on their water taps for 12 hours last Thursday. “While an event like this won’t save a lot of water, it’s a chance to be mindful of the way we use water and educate ourselves about using water wisely,” Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd said.

CENSORSHIP, CORRUPTION, ELECTORAL FRAUD & INTERFERENCE Twitter, Facebook & Google Block Clinton & Biden Corruption Under Covid Cover Trump would NOT have had impeachment ordeal!
Forget Russian meddling in elections – it’s now been proven that it was a Hillary Clinton plot to smear Trump and cover up her own and Biden’s corruption with Russia, China, Iraq and Ukraine. Facebook and twitter are far more effective and adept at using their power to swing seats and rig election results. In a world scandal, they’ve been caught redhanded, blocking a NY Post article about proof on Hunter Biden’s laptop of not only Joe and Hunter Biden’s corruption, but Hunter Biden’s drug and depraved sexual torture of very young girls, and Joe Biden’s family crime empire. This will affect us in Australia because of China’s influence and their way of compromising politicians. Joe Biden is compromised by the Chinese (amongst others), hence a national security risk. Hunter Biden has been organising meetings and deals with or for Joe, for which he was paid and Joe received 50%. This is a HUGE story, SO big that the President Trump would NOT have had to deal with the trumped up impeachment had the FBI acted when they first were given this computer! So, we’re talking FBI/ government/ political corruption of the highest magnitude. The story’s being blocked by the media, who are in it up to their ears. We’re not allowed to know about it, kids! The political elite have spoken, and the horrid collusion of media and finance is stopping it. They actually BLOCKED the NY Post’s twitter account (for at least 4 days), so they can’t tweet this news! This will continue to unfold daily; this article will be days behind by the time you read it – IF you even know about it. Twitter has told the NY Times it won’t unblock their twitter account unless they delete the Hunter Biden posts. In effect, this amounts to $$$Billions of illegal in-kind contributions to the Biden electoral campaign from twitter, facebook and google, i.e. electoral interference, campaign fraud, and allowing foreign (Chinese) meddling by default. That’s why the polls are being manipulated to say Biden, who’s had 84 real voters turn up to his rallies over the last few months is ahead, while 250,000 have turned up to Trump’s since Labour Day! China are calling in debts as they’ve paid a LOT of money to the Biden’s and want to rule America by default. Such is the unbridled power of media corporations who won’t print it, but especially facebook and twitter’s huge power to stop the story cold by so-called “factchecking” with algorithms that block any mention of Biden’s corruption. They’ve even blocked the White-House Secretary’s twitter account, as well as Trump’s electoral team’s account! Similarly, they’re not printing the story of Hillary Clinton ensuring a US Naval Seal team was killed to cover up her corruption. “Fact-checking” is the biggest sick joke, and throughout this coronavirus business, they’ve been caught out. Facebook and twitter are the tip of the ice-berg of influence wielded by big media intertwined with big pharma and
big finance – all with an agenda, “factchecking” anyone who doesn’t agree with their left-wing politics and “divine right” to run the virus the way they want, brainwashing sheeple, and keeping us mushrooms in the dark. I cannot emphasise enough that you must do your own research – I leave enough clues for my readers to check it out for themselves, and you should.
“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the NY Times, Time Magazine, and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supra national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national autodetermination practiced in past centuries”. David Rockefeller, private banker and member of the Council on Foreign Relations (June 1991)
The boxed quote from David Rockefeller outlines the power financiers have over everything, and their intimate relationship with the major newspapers pre-internet. You will find most of the bankers and those attending the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) own chunks of media and pharmaceutical companies and use influence to convince us we need “their” agenda. The Council on Foreign Relations, a US “think-tank”, was founded (1921) by among others, banker David Rockefeller. This last week you may have seen a clip of Joe Biden speaking at a CFR event (2018), boasting that he threatened to withhold a US $1b loan to Ukraine if they didn’t fire a prosecutor investigating his son Hunter’s role in the company Barisma. Biden said “I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Well, son of a b-tch. (laughter.) He got fired.” Some quotes to ponder: “I care not what puppet is placed on the throne of England to rule the Empire. The man who controls Britain’s money supply controls the British Empire, and I control the British money supply” (Nathan Mayer Rothschild (1777-1836). Mentor to Bill Clinton, Carroll Quigley, author of “Tragedy & Hope”, said “The powers of financial capitalism had a far-reaching aim: “….nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole”. Strobe Talbott, President Clinton’s Deputy Sec. of State said in Time Magazine (20/7/1992) “In the next century, nations
as we know it will be obsolete. All states (read “nations”) will recognise a single global authority.” The UN is a main driver of this New World Order or global governance control and has been active planning for a global pandemic to bring it about. They have their own network involved in what could almost be described as a protection racket, whereby they’re all interlinked, funded by big foundations, governments and corporates, yet raise money to pay each other’s corporate arms. Anthony Fauci said “on the issue of pandemic preparedness …. there will be a surprise outbreak”. The World Health Organization (WHO) and World Bank (WB) in May 2018 set up the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB). All of the reports put out by the GPMB are funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (Gates F), Wellcome Trust (Wellcome), Resolve to Save Lives and the German Govt. The GPMB’s “A World At Risk” report had a “progress indicator: The United Nations (including WHO) conducts at least two system-wide training and simulation exercises, including one for covering the deliberate release of a lethal respiratory pathogen”. This led to Event 201. From the WEF came CEPI – the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations - a global partnership launched in 2017 to develop vaccines to stop future epidemics. At the WEF, CEPI was introduced as a “concrete initiative between Governments, Foundations and the Private sector” with the founders listed as “Governments of Norway, Germany, Japan, and India; the Gates F, and Wellcome with “strong support from the world’s six biggest pharmaceutical companies, GSK (GlaxoSmithCline) Merk, Johnson & Johnson, Sanofi, Takeda and Pfizer.” At Event 201, Australian ex chair of the WHO Board and president of the World Health Assembly, Jane Halton, talked about a strategy of “flooding”, and as it went around the table, it became clear they were talking about the way they “flooded” us with scary covid messages. Victor Dzau is President of the US National Academy of Medicine (NAM), on the boards of GPMB, and Research America; served on the Board of Health Governors of the WEF and chaired its Global Agenda Council on Precision Medicine. At National Academics, he designed and let initiatives such as the Commission on Global Health Risk Framework for the Future, the Human Gene Editing Initiative and launched the NAM Grand Challenges in Healthy Longevity. He served on the Advisory Committee to the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Fauci is in the NIH as well (NIAID), and he also served on Bill & Melinda Gates’ Global Grand Challenges Scientific Board (2003-10). Funding for the NAM comes from Gates F, Ford Foundation, Wellcome, the Rockefeller Foundation, US State Dept through US AID (US Agency for the International Devt), Mr Ming Wai Lau, Paul G Allen Family Foundation and Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. On NAM’s Oversight Group are: Victor Dzau, the

WEF, The Rockefeller Foundation, Gates foundation, Wellcome Trust, Unilever, Pan American Health Organisation; with Commissioners from Partners in Health and the NIH. What’s not really known is that the NAM (chartered by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 as the Institute of Medicine [IOM]), became the NAM in 2015, and is now a foundation funded by other foundations. Many of these, as well as funding, also profit, either directly, or in a “roundabout way”. Space doesn’t permit, but there’s GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation), now called Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, founded by the Gates Foundation in 1999 and also “a key Gavi partner in vaccine market shaping.” The GPMB was co-convened by the WB and WHO (2018). The Coronavirus Global Response international pledging conference in May this year raised over $8b from nations world-wide, was hosted by the President of the EU, and Victor Dzau (board member of the GPMB). The message was vaccinations, treatments and diagnostics acceptable to everyone, equal distribution and affordability. The GPMB, wanting to appear “separate” from the WHO, WEF and all their funders and cross-recipients, ask and received “reports” from organisations, then come up with their own report, such as the abovementioned, which they thank: Anthrologica & the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies; Independent Oversight Advisory Committee (IOAC) for the WHO Health Emergencies Programme; Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security; University of Oxford & Chatham House; Wellcome Trust; the World Bank Group; and, the World Health Organization. They’re grateful for the financial support …. from the Government of Germany, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust, and Resolve to Save Lives. The reports are used to get funding, such as the Coronavirus Global Response pledging. The GPMB dictates seven urgent “Required Actions”. The following is probably why our State governments are abdicating power to “health experts”, and Jane Halton would be right up there organising it based on the “expert” advice so kindly provided by the UN and big biz to advance their causes: All countries must build strong systems Heads of government must appoint a national high-level coordinator with authority and political accountability to lead whole-of-government and whole-of-society approaches, and routinely conduct multisectoral simulation exercises to establish and maintain effective preparedness. This is a big subject that really needs a book, but I hope I have succeeded in pointing you to how it works, and why people like Biden are for sale, compromised, and corrupted with taxpayers funds being siphoned off on “programmes” which don’t really benefit people like us, but most certainly benefit those who would rule and have us “obey” them. They’ve proven they can take away our rights to freedom of assembly, speech, movement, association and religion, and to work for a living. They can even lock us up “for our own good”.

AMANDA SPALDING with Bob Holland
The Positions of Mayor and Councillor (Part One) Bob: I don’t think it’s any secret that I have little regard for the way our current group of Councillors function. My opinion has built up over a number of years and involves many personal and business experiences over a variety of matters. I have no issue with Councillors when they disagree with me or reject any suggestions I may put forward, I do however, have a problem with the process they follow. The logic they use shows little understanding of what’s at stake, or they offer no commercially sound reasons for their decisions. Over recent months I’ve also taken to watching the live stream of Council meetings and again, more often than not I’m disappointed by the discussions and decisions they arrive at, and the fact that in so many cases the plane often never really lands when they do make a decision. The bottom line for me is this - I’d like to see a whole lot of fresh blood sitting on Orange Council following next year’s local government elections, I think our current group is showing themselves to be stale, unprofessional and often uninformed about matters of importance. I’d like to see what some new faces could come up with. So Amanda, how can Newswatch and City Watch help us bring to the public’s attention people who may be thinking about standing next year? I know it’s early days and many people don’t like to show their cards this early but I ask you, given how these things generally work, I think if more voters knew more about candidates come election time, the results may be different. What are your thoughts? Amanda: I agree with you that it is difficult to get voters interested in who might be standing for election and what they stand for this far out from an election, but as John Howard once said ‘you can’t fatten a pig on market day’. The last local government elections in 2017, in Orange, was the first time there was an election for a popularly elected Mayor, and there were 10 candidates. For the 11 Councillor positions 88 candidates stood for election. There were 13 ‘tickets’ of 6 candidates each and 10 candidates stood ‘below the line.’ This number of candidates and tickets is confusing when, as often happens, many voters only think about the local government elections once every 4 years, on election day, and only hear about what some candidates stand for when they look at leaflets handed out while they are standing in the queue to vote. So, it is not surprising when people vote by name recognition and elect the same people time after time. I wrote in City Watch of 3rd October about how long each of our current Councillors has been in office and this varies from 30 years to 4, and there were 3 new Councillors elected at the 2017 election. The main reason that we started having these conversations, Bob, was to answer the question ‘How can we get the Best out of our Council?’. Over the last year or so, we have tried to de-mistify how local government works so that members of the community can tell whether the governing body (the Mayor and Councillors) is doing a good job or not!! The best way to judge the performance of a Council, before an election, is in its End of Term Report that is tabled at the last meeting of the outgoing Council before the local government election. The End of Term report describes the Council’s progress in implementing the Community Strategic Plan during the term of Council. This report looks at the outcomes for the community and council as a result of the activities in those four years. So, we can expect to see the End of Term report in August 2021. However, as regular readers will know, I do not have a high regard for Orange City Council’s Community Strategic Plan because it does not fulfill the requirement to identify assessment methods for determining whether the objectives are being achieved. To review the effectiveness in achieving objectives the End of Term Report should ask these questions: 1. Did Council do what it said it would do towards achieving the objectives of the Plan? 2. Did other partners in the process do what they said they would do towards achieving the objectives of the plan?
3. Were these actions effective – did anything change or start to improve? Bob: Here’s an idea. What if City Watch published what we’d call a “mock” Application for Councillor and invited interested people to complete this application now, just like a job application. We’d come up with a position description, and application form and offer to publish these applications in Newswatch now, well before the election? What do you think might happen if we did that? Amanda: It’s an interesting idea as people often ask me about the job description for the positions of Mayor or Councillor, and I think that the reason they don’t exist is because there is a desire to attract people to stand for election who are passionate about their community and not frighten them with a position description that might intimidate people who should stand because they are more representative of the community than current incumbents. It is a well known fact that a woman can look at a position description and say to herself ‘I can only do 30% of that so I won’t apply’ where a man typically says to himself ‘wow I can do 30% of that. I’ll start writing my application’. There is plenty of training and support available. I’m also not sure whether people will put their hands up at this time, but I do think it’s a good idea to get people interested in the important issues of who will represent them as early as possible. I am going to have to leave the Position Description and Application Form with you, Bob, as I have a conflict of interests as I am considering standing for election. Bob: OK. I understand your concern about a perceived conflict of interest. I think this idea is pretty innovative and I’d like to see where it takes us. So here’s my thoughts on a job advert and job description: Seeking Candidates to Stand for Orange City Council# Are you looking for an exciting public sector job where you can make a positive difference?

z Second and third from left, Member for Calare and Minister for Decentralisation and Regional Education, Andrew Gee and Orange Mayor, Councilor Reg Kidd at the proposed Dixons Long Point crossing on the Macquarie River.
Mudgee Monopoly: “Go directly to new bridge, collect $10 million” Dream of a more direct allweather route between Orange and Mudgee moved a step closer with announcement of an extra $9.8 million of Federal funding for a new two-lane bridge at the Dixons Long Point crossing on the Macquarie River.
“After the economic impact of COVID-19, this capital injection in our local economy could not have come at a better time,” he said. Mid-Western Regional Council has been a key driver of the project. “I think it is fantastic that Minister Gee was successful in getting the money to allow the project to get underway,” General Manager, Brad Cam, said.
Member for Calare and Minister for Decentralisation and Regional Education, Andrew Gee recently announced that the proposed design option includes a new location for the Macquarie River crossing. The preferred plan for the bridge would see a 110-metre-long, two-lane bridge constructed approximately 1.5 kilometres north of the existing Macquarie River crossing at the site. He said the extra funds means that the project is now fully-funded and can move to the public consultation phase, which will conclude Stage 1 of the project. The project will then proceed to Stage 2 which is the design and construction phase. Work on Stage 1 of the project commenced last year. Preliminary plans and designs, as well as engineering, geotechnical studies, surveying, and a safety audit have now been completed and a new location for the crossing has been identified. Environmental work and cultural and heritage studies are also in progress. “The Dixons Long Point Crossing is a project 160 years in the making, so I am very proud to be able to say that it can now become a reality,” Mr Gee said. “There is still some preliminary legal and technical work to be done, including

Point project have come in at $25.2 million “Moving the crossing downstream will mean the approaches on both sides won’t be as steep, so it will be safer, and will also deliver a better environmental outcome,” Mr Gee explained.
exclusive of GST. The project is funded entirely by the Australian Government and any additional funds available will go towards further road improvements on both sides of the river.
“We anticipate work will commence on the Cabonne side first, to allow access to the bridge site. The bridge itself will be done next and then the approaches on the Mudgee side.
The plans are expected to go on public exhibition with Mid-Western Regional Council this week, while residents affected by the project will be contacted directly.
“The upgraded crossing will deliver a wide range of benefits to the Calare electorate and New South Wales by creating a crucial new link between the Mudgee, Cabonne and Orange areas, as well as the wider Central West, the Hunter and beyond. “I’m very pleased with the way that our local government and councils have worked together on this project. It has been a very
“The benefits of completing this key transport artery for tourism, jobs and economic activity cannot be underestimated,” Mr Gee said. “In terms of the visitor economy, the new crossing will create a unique regional tourist trail that can be started or finished in Lithgow, Bathurst, Mudgee, Wellington, Orange or Cabonne. The whole Central West region will benefit.
| Saturday 24 October, 2020 |
Cabonne Shire Council is supporting the project too and will play an integral role in progressing the road works on the Cabonne side of the river. “The crossing at Dixons Long Point will improve access for communities throughout the region and provides a safer and more efficient route for road users. In addition, the upgrade opens up potential to link key food and wine regions in the area, benefiting the tourism markets and showcasing the produce of both Mudgee and Cabonne,” General Manager of Cabonne Shire Council, Brad Byrnes said. Orange Mayor, Councilor Reg Kidd has also welcomed the progression of the project. “This is great news for the region.” “Orange City Council welcomes this project as it will provide a key link for visitors between Orange, Mudgee and Cabonne. It will provide another key route for people wanting to explore this beautiful country and provide an economic injection into our cities and villages,” Cr Kidd concluded.

Have your say on flying fox “cloud” over our city They’ve become regular summer visitors to Orange district over the past decade with Council seeking community views on the vexing issue of the district’s flying fox camps. As part of the plan, Council wants to hear from the community about the impact, if any, flying-foxes have had on Orange residents. Flying-foxes often migrate to Orange, in the warmer months, and set up camps in locations such as Cook Park, Ploughmans Lane, Cook Park, and around the outskirts of town. Orange City Council has no concrete plans to try to discourage the colony, or “cloud” of the grey-headed flying foxes from settling here each year, it does want to develop a city-wide “Flying-fox Camp Management Plan” for the species. While no Australian bat is known to carry COVID-19, the species (Pteropus poliocephalus) can harbour a bunch of other deadly diseases — so no touching injured or dead animals!

One of the steps in this process includes finding out more about community attitudes by encouraging people to participate in an online survey. Orange City Council’s Environment and Sustainability Policy Committee Chair, Councillor Stephen Nugent said that Council wanted to gauge public perceptions of the species and wanted to seek feedback on ideas for managing the flying-foxes. “By participating in the survey on Council’s: yoursay. orange.nsw.gov.au website, you will help guide management actions for the plan,” Cr Nugent said. “We’d like to hear from all sections of the community, people who have been directly affected by the presence of Flying-foxes in their yards, near their homes and in public parks. “We’d equally like to hear from people who have not been impacted directly by these native animals but would like to share their feedback on how Council can manage them while respecting their threatened species status.” Orange Mayor, Cr Reg Kidd said that it was clear the flying-foxes would continue to visit Orange on a regular basis, and it was important Council developed a plan

Wighton’s Dally M win a balm for grand final miss
Orange local and Canberra Raiders five-eighth, Jack Wighton the surprise winner at this year’s National Rugby League player of the year competition, the Dally M awards.
It’s not the same as a grand final win, but Orange local and Canberra Raiders five-eighth, Jack Wighton can be well-pleased with his surprise triumph at this year’s National Rugby League player of the year competition, the Dally M awards. doors after round 10.
The 27-year-old grew-up in Orange and attended Canobolas High School before being recruited to the Canberra Raiders, last year’s losing grand finalists who also lost last week to Melbourne 30-10 in the preliminary final.
He went on to earn 16 points in the final 10 rounds, including five playerof-the-match performances in round 11 against Souths, round 15 (Titans), round 16 (Bulldogs), round 18 (Dragons) and round 19 (Warriors).
“I’m absolutely shocked, the players I was sitting there with and it could have been anyone, so to receive this medal tonight in front of so many good players, I’m blown away,” Wighton said.
Runners-up Gutherson and Cleary had a shot at overtaking Wighton in the final round with the star Raider rested against the Sharks, but neither collected a vote.
“It was a rocky year, and we had some key players go down with injury. We didn’t finish the way we wanted of finish but I’m still proud of all the boys’ efforts. “I really can’t believe it; it just feels amazing. As a kid I would never have thought I would be talking about something like this. “I’m so thankful. This is right up there and definitely something I’ll never forget.” Wighton polled 26 points across the 20 regular rounds in the shortened season
Wighton’s Dally M Medal success comes a year after he took home the Clive Churchill Medal for best on ground in the 2019 grand final.
to stave off Eels captain Clint Gutherson (25) and Penrith halfback Nathan Cleary (24) in a close finish. Wighton was three points behind midseason front-runner Harry Grant on 10 points when voting went behind closed
The Raiders star scored a careerbest 12 tries during the 2020 regular season with eight try assists and took his game to another level after hooker Josh Hodgson went down with a seasonending knee injury. “Tonight, we honoured our most exceptional players in an extraordinary season,’’ NRL CEO Andrew Abdo said.
“Despite unprecedented challenges our players took our game to a new level in 2020. Tonight, we celebrated our very best, those who provided so much excitement and hope during a challenging time in our community. “Congratulations to Jack on creating history, winning the Dally M Medal in such a tough and uncompromising season. His feats will forever be etched into rugby league folklore,” Abdo concluded. Wighton originally played as a full-back for the Raiders — who were favoured by many to go one better this year after their controversial loss to the Sydney Roosters in the 2019 decider where Wighton was the stand-out player and man-of-the-match. He also steered NSW to a second consecutive Origin series win in 2019 and will likely star in this year’s end-of-season match-up against the Queenslanders.

Girls just want to have fun — at women’s summer soccer comp Women and girls looking for some fun, none-too-competitive football over the off-season are invited to join a new women’s summer soccer competition in Orange. Second year of the Orange District Football Association (ODFA) Female Summer Competition will feature four competitions — for girls from Under 7–9s; from Under 10–12s; for girls Under 13–15s; and an Open Women’s competition. “It’s looking really positive for the Open Women’s teams,” Orange Football Administrator Brett Hazzard said of this year’s competition. “We had four teams last season and we have eight already entered for this season,” he said enthusiastically. He said though that players are still being sought for teams in the junior competitions with all games kicking-off in early November. “We’re starting on Monday, November 9 with all games set-down for Monday afternoons, starting with the younger age groups from approximately 4pm and finishing with the Open Women’s games at about 6.45pm,” he explained. The comp is ideal for absolute beginners, for women and girls who want to keep fit for next season, or who may find the mixed winter competitions a touch daunting.
“The aim is to encourage new starters and girls in mixed competitions who want something to have on their own,” he added
z With the Women’s Football World Cup coming to Australia and New Zealand in 2023, it is a great time for the expansion in both the player numbers and the profile of the women’s game.
Brett said that, for girls and women who are after a bit of health, fun, and fitness during the off-season, this comp is ideal. “We’ve got referees in games, but they’re instructional rather than strict rules, they’ll offer a bit of coaching to the players as well,” he said. ODFA President Tony Mileto said that about 120 players have already signedup for the competition. “We’re trying to encourage more ladies who haven’t played before,” he said.
finish-up in March,” he added. “This will mean approximately six rounds will be played before Christmas with six rounds after the January holidays,” Brett said. Sir Jack Brabham Park will host all games so getting to and from the venue shouldn’t be a problem. “We’re still chasing more girls to full-
up teams in the younger ages,” Brett concluded. Both new players to football and existing ODFA players are invited to register with players who were registered during the 2020 winter season getting a fee reduction as the winter competition insurance also carries over to summer football season.
“It runs on a more social basis than the winter competitions,” he added. “It’s about staying fit and enjoying the company of others,” he said. With the Women’s Football World Cup coming to Australia and New Zealand in 2023, he said that it is a great time for the expansion in both player numbers and the profile of the women’s game; with women’s sport becoming a focus for growth in all the four major football codes in Australia as well as in cricket. Games are played on reduced-sized fields with teams of between five to seven players and halves only running out to 20–25 minutes each. “The comp will also have time-off over the Christmas/New Year period and will
