MAKE SHOW GREAT AGAIN!

Colour City should have one of the great agricultural shows in NSW with a recent half-million dollar grant a step in the right direction, supporters say. “That would be good, wouldn’t it?” Society President, Peter Naylor said of plans to make our local fair fantastic again. Plans to return this annual event — cancelled this year due to COVID-19 — to its glory days begins with the $511,087 State Government grant for upgrading the largely-empty Naylor

Money is also likely to be applied to remove the culvert and open water-course that, in stormy weather, literally divides the Show in two for sometimes hours at a time. The work should only be the start of a long road back for Orange Show, Orange Mayor and inveterate Show-goer, Councillor Reg Kidd said enthusiastically. “When I was a kid, the Show was such a big part of your life. On Friday, you would get a new pair of shoes for the occasion and everyone would go to the Show,” he reminisced. “Why shouldn’t it be as big as Bathurst? It used to be the biggest day of the year.”

Talking POINTS

with DAVID DIXON Well the US Presidential election was far-closer than I predicted with the result still up in the air though Democrat Joe Biden recently claimed victory. Incredibly, each State (and there are 50 of them), run their own vote with no centralised and independent electoral commission over-seeing the whole process. Hence the claims of cheating and likely court challenges. The whole lot will probably all end-up in the Supreme Court. An unbelievably-shambolic way for the world’s greatest democracy to decide their leader! Green bins are very much in the spotlight at the present time with some not being emptied because of weight issues. There’s a limit on what weight they can pickup with insurance issues coming into it. The simple solution is for people to know what they can and can’t do and work within that. The current system covers all contingencies adequately. For some reason, however, the waste company has a limit of around 95kg that they can pick-up, but Council has a 75kg or thereabouts limit on their website. This begs the question, why? Also, by what process are they weighed? Presumably, there is a sensor in the hydraulic arm that lifts the bins that sets-off an alarm if over-weight. Second opening of the new DPI building in Prince St stood-out in a couple of ways from the “cold” opening a couple of two months ago. COVID-19 security was way stricter, attendees were corralled into a line before being interviewed about their current health (cough, cough) with all their details taken before entering the forecourt event. No-one was allowed to enter the building after the event, either. Also, local member, Phil Donato and Agriculture Minister, Adam Marshall, were both in attendance, in conspicuous contrast to the first event.

We need to “better” SUPPORT OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES. Paying lip service won’t cut it, we need to live it!

“Save our Voices” — see the small print

very briefly As part of one of the few genuinelyindependent regional media groups in the bush, Newswatch was curious about a recent “Save Our Voices: How Ray Martin is helping regional media fight for survival” campaign. The campaign involves regional TV networks Prime Media Group, WIN Network, and Southern Cross Austereo as well as the publishing ACM group, saying a “commercially-sustainable, self-funding plan” to help secure the future of local news services for regional Australians that was put to the Federal Government, has been ignored. The companies said urgent regulatory change was needed to allow them to form alliances or merge so they could moreeffectively compete against the international and metropolitan media companies now operating in regional media markets via the NBN. In brief, they want to be able to be floggedoff for the economies-of scale this would provide. While we are all aware of the difficulties faced by traditional media in the internet age, couldn’t allowing these groups to “form alliances or merge”, lead to less localcontent news on television?

Check It! Before You Chuck It Such is the slogan of a new campaign to educate Australians about sustainable packaging and inspire positive recycling behaviours.

PETTY CRIMES, ANGRY MAYOR Nothing angers our otherwise jocular mayor more (apart from abandoned shopping trollies) than mindless (is it ever mindful?) vandalism. “I’ve just been down to Woodward Street to have a look at some of the damage,” Cr Kidd fumed to Newswatch recently. “They’ve broken-off some Manchurian pear trees, they’ve also bent some signs in Westleigh as well,” he added promising to forward the pics of said incidents, which have so-far not arrived. Was a time when youthful over-exuberance in the form of minor crime was met with the call to “put them all in the army” in the belief that military life gave a purpose, direction, and focus to young minds. In this vein, young men (as in many other countries) were actually enlisted in the Australian army, most recently, during both the Korean War in the 1950s and towards the end of the Vietnam War in 1972, under the name “National Service”.

Developed in partnership by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO) and Planet Ark, and supported by the Australian Government, the campaign calls on all Australians to check the Australasian Recycling Label (ARL) every time they are at the bin so that they recycle their packaging right. “One of the best practical things we can do to help the environment is to recycle correctly. This new recycling campaign, funded by the Federal Government, is a fantastic reminder to always be mindful of recycling correctly by looking for the packaging label before chucking things in the bin,” Trevor Evans MP, Assistant Minister for Waste Reduction and Environmental Management, said. “Recycling correctly reduces the amount of waste going to landfill and enables new products to be made and re-used again and again,” he added.

SO NICE, THEY OPENED IT TWICE!

Newswatch correspondent recently attended not his first, but his second official opening of the new DPI building in Prince St, in less than two months. He had not actually been officially-invited to either, possibly due to his “Yes Minister” front page story in August quoting a renowned architect describing the south entrance facing of the building as dangerous. Instead of being allowed to wander-around the new building at will, attendees had this time to observe strict social distancing restrictions with a number of white-t-shirted COVID-19 marshals keeping an attentive eye on everyone to make sure we all behaved appropriately. Local member Phil Donato and Ag Minister | Saturday 7 November, 2020 |

Adam Marshall were both photographed together (left) at the event to ensure that doubts as to their attendance — as occurred at the first opening — was not merely a rumour.

A Government MP later assured Newswatch that Mr Donato had been mentioned in the official welcomes. “Make sure you get it right,” the Upper House Member said to our correspondent, perhaps implying that Newswatch occasionally gets things wrong. Sensing that these events could become a regular part of the Orange news calendar, like the footy or weather, our correspondent farewelled his media colleagues after the event with the comforting send-off, “see you chaps at the first-month celebrations!”

...They want to turn Mt Canobolas into an internationalstandard mountainbiking centre. When you look at it, that’s what they’re proposing.

SAVING THE MOUNT — NEW ENVIRO ALLIANCE OPPOSES BIKE-RIDING IDEA Mountain-biking proposals for Mt Canobolas are a backdoor way for Orange City Council to take control of this unique environmental area, a group opposing the proposal believe. The newly-formed Canobolas Conservation Alliance aims to stop the mountain-biking plan dead in its tracks, President, Dr Colin Bower said. The Alliance is made-up of four local environmental groups that believe Mt Canobolas is exactly the worst place for an intrusive facility like a series of mountainbike tracks to be located. Supporters of the mountain bike proposal say that mountain biking successfully co-exists in World Heritage listed areas, so there is no reason that it can’t also happen on Mt Canobolas. A spokesperson for Orange City Council confirmed that the Council meeting on November 3 had awarded the tender to design the mountain bike tracks and conduct an environmental assessment for the project. The tender was awarded to Bathurstbased consultants, ‘The Environmental Factor’ and it is expected the Bathurst firm will involve specialist track designers in the project. However, Dr Bower believes the Mount is far-too singular and special for the proposal to be supported. “They want to turn Mt Canobolas into an internationalstandard mountain-biking centre. When you look at it, that’s what they’re proposing. “We regard it as too environmentallysensitive to sustain something as intensive as the Council has in mind.” He said suggestions that money from

mountain-bike riding enviro-tourism on the Mount could go towards rehabilitation and weed and pest control, were misguided.

“Orange City Council has allocated $500,000 of ratepayers’ money to obtain an environmental approval for this proposal,” Dr Bower said. “ hey would not be doing this if they did not consider success was likely.

“Our view is, that’s the role of the National Parks and Wildlife Service; this is really an attempt by Orange City Council to take-over land controlled by National Parks,” Dr Bower, an environmental consultant, said.

“We are concerned that Council is working hand-in-hand with the State Government to ensure this proposal is approved, despite the very significant environmental damage that would occur.

They’re proposing taking a reserve over for mountain-bike riding, that’s the guts of it,” he said. He said the group is aware that many areas of the Mount have become degraded with weeds and pest animal species, but that allowing money generated by mountain-bike riding — a major argument by local environmentalists who support the proposal — is not the answer. “We do acknowledge it has a weed problem, but there are also significant areas in pristine condition, these will be endangered by this proposal,” Dr Bower said. He believes that there is no more unique and rare ecological site in the central west than the sub-alpine environmental island that Mt Canobolas represents. “If Orange City Council were looking for the most-sensitive place, Mount Canobolas is it. It’s exactly the worst spot for such a facility.”

z Dr Colin Bower, heads new group opposing mountain-bike riding on Mt Canobolas. be run-off and rutting of soils.” He said that the bare tracks created by the mountain-biking will also open these areas up to invasive weeds infestations. The group was only formed last week from a loose alliance of four local environmental clubs, the Orange Field Naturalists, the EnvironmentallyConcerned Citizens of Orange (ECCO); the Central West Bush-Walking Club, and the Central West Environmental Council. “We decided that, with the campaign becoming more urgent, to raise money we had to set-up a formal organisation.”

Dr Bower believes that it will be impossible for such an invasive human activity as mountain-bike riding to not damage the Mount.

Realising that the day is now late to make a stand, the Alliance are preparing for a long and protracted battle to protect Mt Canobolas from mountain biking.

“We feel the first principle is to avoid doing damage, this does the opposite. It will cause significant erosion, there’s noway of avoiding that and the soils on the Mount are quite shallow as it is. There will

his is demonstrated by the decision to make the proposal a ‘State Significant Development’, Dr Bower believes. “In effect, this action by the State Government wrests decision-making on the future of the State Conservation Area away from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and into the hands of the Department of Planning Industry and Environment. his is a grave threat to the mountain.” he proposal for the mountain-bike project is for a series of linked tracks of increasing difficulty in the shape of Olympic rings that are described as “stacked-loop” trails. “Anyone can see that 10 international mountain bike tracks are totally inappropriate within a small, vulnerable conservation reserve,” Dr Bower said. “The first principle of environmental management. is to avoid damage wherever possible. This proposal blatantly ignores that principle, which should immediately exclude the State Conservation Area from consideration, especially since adjoining State Forests provide a viable alternative,” Dr Bower said.

Jarring move that led to new life in Colour City

Many could recall that difficult time that saw many careers, relationships, and lives affected by the wrenching relocation.

Former Director-General, Barry Buffier, after relocating form Tamworth to Sydney, had to then turn-around and make the move back to the country with the Department in its 1991 relocation.

Former Division Chief, Dr Helen Scott-Orr, agreed that it had been hard on many who were essentially forced to move, but that many found, once here they, loved the country life.

“it doesn’t seem nearly 30 years ago,” he said. While many were negatively-affected by the move, the decentralisation in the long-run created a more motivated and professional workforce for the department. “A huge number, a high percentage of the staff decided to stay in Sydney, so we needed a lot of new people once we moved up here,” he said. “By Sydney standards, these were not well-paying jobs, but these were

The opening also served as the 130th anniversary of the founding of the Department of Agriculture making the service one of the oldest continuous agencies in NSW history.

“Since they moved, there’s only been four directors-general, but I can you there’s been nine different ministers,’ He joked to current incumbent, Adam Marshall.

“This is the opening of our head office and 130 years since the establishment of the Department,” current Director-General — one of the last government departments to retain the somewhat anachronistic title — Scott Hansen said. “What you need for a birthday is a present, and we have a brand-new building,” he added He pointed to a contrasting display between a 1903 “farm machine” and a new top-of-the line tractor to show how agriculture has changed over the years. “Our purpose hasn’t changed, and that is to support the central role that agriculture plays in our economy,” he said.

Opening of the “world-standard” Orange Workplace Hub — or the new Department of Primary Industries building on Prince Street — had its genesis in the distant 1980s with the transfer on two anonymous Agriculture staff to country NSW.

“The move was one of the boldest moves of any Department in Australia, and it has made Orange the agribusiness centre of the country,” he said. “It’s been a great journey,” he added. Mr Marshall made the same point, saying that the move was: “the most significant decentralisation in the State’s history. “”Since the appointment of its first directorgeneral, HCL Anderson, it is now the only department still with directors-general which I think is a nice tradition,” he added. He said a fax message discussed between then DG Dr Kevin Sheridan and Agriculture Minister, Ian Armstrong was the catalyst for the move.

“Kevin was showing Ian a fax message and Ian asked ‘how far can you send a fax,’ and Kevin said, ‘they can come from as far away as you want’, and Ian said, ‘then why are we here in Sydney, then?’.” Costing in the order of $75 million, the 8500 square metre open-plan facility has been officiallynamed the “Ian Armstrong Building” in recognition of the former Minister for Agriculture. Mr Armstrong’s wife, Jenny was a guest of honour at the event held in bright spring weather. She said earlier that her husband would be “incredibly honoured and thrilled,” at the new building. A staff member said that the retirement of the traditional desk concept to be replaced with ‘agile workstations’ or ‘hot-desks’ was a little unsettling but that it forced staff to ensure that they filed everything away at the end of the day. The new building has been designed to create “a more agile working space… with a 5.5 green star rating,” rather than the traditional desk and seat arrangements of the past, Deputy Secretary of Property and Development NSW, Leon Walker said. The new facility is designed to have more than 880 people working from the facility with the 30-yearold former department head office in east Kite St now officially vacated.

TEX AND FAMILY TAKE CENTRE-STAGE AT NAIDOC -WEEK EXHIBITIONS Aboriginal artist Tex Skuthrope and his family are featuring in Orange Regional Museum’s foyer during NAIDOC Week. Theme for the first people’s commemorations for NAIDOC Week this year is, “Always Was, Always Will Be”. Tex is a painter, educator, and custodian of traditional stories and was awarded Aboriginal Artist of the Year by NAIDOC in 1990/1991. His art works have been exhibited at the National Gallery, Australian Museum, Old Parliament House, the Opera House, New Parliament House, Perspecta 99 and the Japanese Cultural Centre - Incubana Exhibition. Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair Scott Munro said that Council was honoured to exhibit work from such a well-respected artist. “It is a privilege to have this opportunity right on our doorstep,” Cr Munro said. “This selection of Aboriginal artists’ work demonstrates ongoing, living connections to culture, community and Country spanning generations.” Two of Tex’s artworks will be on display in the Museum, as well as works by his children, Annette O’Neill, David O’Neill, and Brodie O’Neill. The work of Sandon Gibbs O’Neill, an accomplished

Nhunggabarra artist and grandson that the exhibition was a fitting way to acknowledge and celebrate of Tex, is also featured in the NAIDOC Week in Orange given exhibition. many of the traditional events were not able to go ahead.

...To see these artworks come together as a family exhibition is great. It represents generations of artists... “To see these artworks come together as a family exhibition is great. It represents generations of artists. We learnt off Dad, Tex. He taught us our heritage and culture. It goes right through the family, it shows in our family’s art,” Annette said of the display. The theme recognises that First Nations people have occupied and cared for this continent for over 65,000 years and celebrates Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s ongoing spiritual and cultural connection to this country. Orange Mayor, Cr Reg Kidd said

“This wonderful exhibition showcases a local artist’s perspective on this region, this community, and the people who have lived here for thousands of years,” Cr Kidd said.

•B ack-of-house facilities comprising loading dock, stores, performer amenities and plant. Extensive new landscaping of the site and buildings will include living green walls and planetarium dome, internal courtyard, avenue tree plantings and grassed open space areas. A public plaza, outdoor performance stage, and pedestrian connections to other areas of the Civic Precinct are also included in the development. The DA will be determined by the Western Regional Planning Panel (WRPP), as the Council-sponsored project is a “regionallysignificant development” and exceeds a capital investment value of $5 million. Councillors voted this week to make a positive submission to the WRPP about the project. The DA received one submission during the public exhibition period, relating to the reduction of open space in the North Court, parking shortfall and the loss of an informal pedestrian pathway between the Tim Sullivan car park and March Street. A $10 million grant has been committed by the Australian Government and Orange City Council has allocated $5 million towards the project. Orange Mayor, Councillor Reg Kidd looked forward to gaining further funding support from the NSW Government to make the project a reality. “We will keep pushing for funding to get this project underway as soon as possible,” Cr Kidd said. “Achieving this planning milestone is one more step towards delivering the kind of shovel-ready projects that governments like to fund. “This will be a world-class facility and a valuable addition to the cultural life of Orange and the surrounding district.”

“We aren’t able to celebrate in the usual way this year because of COVID-19, so take this opportunity to stroll down to the Museum and spend some time reflecting on local stories.”

Orange City Council Planning Committee chair, Cr Russell Turner was pleased to see the project reach this next milestone.

The Museum has also prepared a NAIDOC week Monday at the Museum (At Home!) activity sheet which will be available for download on the website after Monday, November 9. This resource has been created for 3–5-year-olds and features imagery by Sandon Gibbs O’Neill.

“It’s great to see a project of this size proposed, which will serve the community well in future.

“The conservatorium has served the Orange community well for many years, but it has reached its use-by date, with the increasing number of students meaning they’ve outgrown the current building,” Cr Turner said.

“The addition of a conservatorium and planetarium to the North Court, in conjunction with the expansion of the gallery, will make the Civic Precinct a thriving cultural hub and a destination the people of Orange can be proud of,” Cr Turner concluded.

FUNDING BOOST; OUR SHOW SHOULD BE ONE OF STATE’S BEST — MAYOR Fun of the fair should see Orange aiming for a yearly show to rival that of Bathurst with a recent halfmillion dollar grant a step in the right direction, supporters say. “That would be good, wouldn’t it?” Society President, Peter Naylor said of plans to make our local fair fantastic again. Plans to return this annual event — cancelled this year due to COVID-19 — to its glory days begins with the $511,087 State Government grant for upgrading the largely-empty Naylor Pavilion with new toilets and cafeteria facilities, Mr Naylor said. Money is also likely to be applied to remove the culvert and open water-course that, in stormy weather, literally divides the Show in two for sometimes hours at a time. Upper House MP, Sam Farraway announced the project as one of six for regional showgrounds under the NSW Government’s COVID-19 stimulus program. The project is expected to go out for tender soon with the work to start early

in 2021. He said that the aim is to have the work completed before the next Orange Show that is scheduled for May 2020. The work should only be the start of a long road back for Orange Show to its glory days, Orange Mayor and inveterate Show-goer, Councillor Reg Kidd said enthusiastically. “When I was a kid, the Show was such a big part of your life. On Friday, you would get a new pair of shoes for the occasion and everyone would go to the Show,” he reminisced. “Why shouldn’t it be as big as Bathurst? It used to be the biggest day of the year, particularly for poorer people. The building of the large, modern Naylor Pavilion was intended to be a start to the Show’s re-birth, but it has remained essentially an empty barn during the Show with a few lonely exhibitors displaying in its cavern-like gloom.

Open drain that dissects Showground and floods during annual fair is next cab-off-the-rank for funds, Cr Kidd says.

“It’s a fantastic facility but, at the moment, it’s like having a car with no wheels,” he said. Mr Naylor agreed, saying that the pavilion money is only the start of the renaissance of the once-great Orange event with a 150-year history that was, at

The antiquated facilities at the Showground, including the ancient “Red Arch Café”, show the lack of funding available in recent times to present a show for the 21st century.

“Orange Show Society had approached Orange City Council for the funding but, with this announcement by the NSW Government, we can get to work right away with the aim of having the pavilion ready to go for next year’s Orange Show.”

“There’s more work to be done to get this Showground up to the pitch it was year’s ago,” Mr Naylor said.

Cr Kidd said that this funding would be a “game-changer” for the future of the facility.

“I know that Peter and the Orange Show Society have worked hard over many years to ensure that the Naylor Pavilion will provide new opportunities for the Orange Show, and also for other events across the region and it is just amazing to be able to see this funding come through,” Mr Farraway said.

“With toilets and a cafeteria area, we will be able to use Naylor Pavilion more often and open up this great space to attract even more events to the region.”

“These works will open new opportunities and more frequents usage of Naylor Pavilion.

Brighter footpath lighting part of “walkable” future

CLERGATE ROAD UPGRADE FOR AN “ESSENTIAL ROUTE”, GEE It was once a quiet country lane but Orange’s northward expansion has seen it now become a major thoroughfare for local traffic with a $650,000 upgrade on the way. The funding from the Federal Government’s Heavy Vehicle Safety and Productivity Program aims to improve the road that has seen a number of serious accidents in recent times. Federal Member for Calare, and Minister for Decentralisation and Regional Education, Andrew Gee, said the Stage Two upgrade — designed to improve traffic flow — would make the road safer and more accessible for the growing Orange and surrounding region. “Clergate Road was once a low-traffic country road, however as Orange’s population and economy boomed, the road became an essential route for the community,” Mr Gee said. “This road connects Orange residents to the northern industrial area and to many of our surrounding towns. That is why it is essential that Clergate Road is fit for purpose and safe. “Road safety is everyone’s responsibility, and the Government is playing our part by investing in road safety projects to get people where they need to be sooner and safer. “Road crashes are estimated to cost the national

economy around $30 billion a year but the even greater cost is the immeasurable suffering of families affected by road deaths. “This vital upgrade, which will stretch from the corner of Clergate Road to Ralston Drive, will ensure that truckies, commuters and tourists reach their destination safely. “It will also ensure that essential, shovel-ready projects can get moving as soon as possible, while increasing job opportunities for local tradies here in the Central West.” Orange Mayor, Reg Kidd, said he was delighted that Orange City Council can work with the Australian Government to deliver better roads for the region. “Right alongside the distributor road, this area of North Orange is a hub for a growing industrial sector. The problem is that different parts of this estate are still linked by a narrow rural road which has out-lived its former purpose as a link road to local farms,” Mr Kidd said. “We’ll need some more support from the NSW Government to get this job done, but this sign of support from the Australian Government is a step in the right direction. “We’ve started work to improve the road by adding streetlights, kerb and gutters, and we’re looking forward to making further improvements to the north towards Ralston Drive,” Cr Kidd concluded.

z Turn on the lights, literally. The new pedestrian streetlights turned on for the first times as part of Council’s $1.5 million Future City “Whiteway” project. Orange Council vowed to make Orange a more “walkable” city with pedestrian streetlight upgrades for the CBD under the $1.5 million Future City “Whiteway” project recently turned-on to light our way. Council and community leaders were on-hand on to see the automatic lights for the first time with the 3.5-metre-high poles with energy-efficient LED lighting installed about every 13.5 metres along both sides of Summer Street from Sale Street to McNamara Street. Orange City Council Infrastructure Policy Committee Chair, Cr Jeff Whitton has welcomed the completion of the project. “Contractors JLE Pty Ltd excavated trenches in the footpath on both sides of Summer Street to install cables for the new lights,” Cr Whitton said. “There are always potential challenges when you’re digging in an area with so much history and potential layers of past development. We aimed to do the work at night to minimise the impact for local businesses, but I’d like to thank our retail sector for their patience. “As well as laying the cable for the new lights, we taken the trouble of installing an extra conduit for future Council use,” Cr Whitton added. Member for Orange, Phil Donato welcomed the completion of the lighting project. “This is a project which I threw my support behind, and I’m pleased to see it’s now being delivered,” Mr Donato said. “Our city is becoming increasingly-popular with visitors, who are keen to experience the rich social experience we have to offer. The new adjustable lighting will enhance the nightscape of Orange, while delivering significant energy cost savings for ratepayers. “Enhancement in street lighting is also beneficial for the safety of those who are out enjoying our nightlife, which is an important aspect of this CBD lighting project,” Mr Donato said. Future stages of the Whiteway project will see the lights extended further along Summer Street to eventually cover from Hill Street to William Street, as funding becomes available. With the new footpath lights now operating, contractors JLE will now begin cutting the power to the former fluorescent under-awning lights. The remaining tubes will be removed for recycling.

RSL NSW Launches Virtual Remembrance Day Initiatives z Cleaning-up for Wednesday’s Remembrance Day event, Deane Hainsworth giving the Cenotaph in Robertson Park a thorough-scouring.

“Remember to Remember” is the theme for this year’s Armistice Day with the NSW RSL asking people to pause for one minute in their homes, schools, or workplaces at 11am next Wednesday, November 11. Remembrance Day commemorates the end of World War I and is dedicated to honouring the memory of all Australians who served, are currently serving, and those who died or suffered in all wars and armed conflicts. While restrictions have been eased around the state for Remembrance Day, RSL NSW is encouraging people to stay COVID-safe by accessing the live streaming of the NSW service at the Cenotaph at Martin Place, Sydney via the RSL NSW Facebook page. “As we saw this ANZAC Day, the pandemic will once again mean a change to how we bring to life the many important traditions around Remembrance Day. We ask that people ‘Remember to Remember’ and take a minute of their day to pay their respects,” RSL NSW Acting President Ray James said. “While it seems like such a small thing to ask, we understand that life is speeding-up again for many people and we hope that, once again, the people of NSW will respond by showing their respect this Remembrance Day.” Mr James said that people can donate to

the Poppy Appeal and will receive a virtual poppy to plant alongside other poppies donated from across Australia. It also provides an opportunity to write a message of commemoration or respect that sits as part of the poppy, giving people a chance to honour a family member, friend, member of the community, or to more broadly acknowledge the overall sacrifice undertaken by all veterans and those currently serving in the protection of Australia. “The Poppy Appeal has been a mainstay across Australia for almost 100 years, but we cannot risk the health of RSL NSW members by doing this in-person this year. We hope people will embrace the opportunity to go online and make a donation to support the important work we do around veteran welfare, and continue this important tradition in a new way,” Mr James said. The Poppy Appeal is one of a number of initiatives taking place in the lead-up to, and on Remembrance Day itself, with RSL NSW also providing guidance on five key ways people can show their respect on a Remembrance Day that has had to evolve and change in the face of COVID-19 precautions. Australians can learn more about the importance of Remembrance Day, be directed to a range of resources to assist them in their moment of silence, and also donate to the Poppy Appeal by visiting: remembertoremember.com.au.

Poppies are going online for Remembrance Day Locals can still support our returned servicemen and women this Remembrance Day (Wednesday, November 11) with traditional poppies going hi-tech to acknowledge these unusual social-distancing times.

As part of a range of other initiatives that have moved online as Remembrance Day traditions are impacted by COVID-19, the main services, including at the Sydney Cenotaph will be streamed for the community.

For the first time in 99 years, the traditional Poppy Appeal will move online as in-person sales become the exception rather than the norm.

The national website for the RSL this Remembrance Day — including the virtual Poppy Appeal — is: www. remembertoremember.com.au.

Local commemoration is going ahead with giant poppy display A capped-attendance Armistice Day and a giant poppy painted on the grassed roof of Orange Regional Museum are two of the unusual features of this year’s commemorations. Remembrance Day in Orange is going ahead on Wednesday, November 11, but with some now-commonplace COVID-19 restrictions.

THE US ELECTION? SO WHAT??? Why does it matter to us here?

So, they’ve done it again, the pollsters! Got it totally wrong because they unashamedly aligned with the Democrats and maligned Trump’s supporters. Nigel Farage called them “suppression polls”. Not their certain “blue wave” at all: more red. I couldn’t believe those polls. To watch a Biden “rally” with half a dozen people sitting in “circles” stupidly over-distanced; then compare that with 30,000 Trump supporters queuing for hours in rain and wind or in a 91 mile long line of cars travelling to it, defies your eyes and logic to believe Biden was winning. There’s no doubt Trump was fighting the media, twitter and facebook, the FBI and CIA it now appears, as well as the HUGE funding (they say 100:1) put up by the likes of Soros, Bloomberg ($100m in Florida alone) and the IT sector. But you’ve got to hand it to Trump’s patriotic and enthusiastic supporters – the flags! More Trump supporters even at a Biden rally than Democrats; boat rallies, car rallies, massive car parks full of Trump flagbearing cars, even ferries with Trump-flagged cars, bikes, skateboarders with flags, and even a horse a la Pony Express galloping across the plains bearing a huge Trump flag! What about the HUGE Hollywood-like TRUMP sign halfway up a mountain? Or the flotilla of Trump flagged 4WD’s all around the “Biden bus” travelling along the freeway! You’ve got to hand it to them for their patriotism AND their sense of humour! But why did they turn out like this? Perhaps the thinkers amongst them understand where the elite/establishment from the Bush’s to Obama have taken their country; they’ve had enough of what amounts to Marxism, and want their voice heard. Most agreed they have been better off the last 4 years than they were before-hand, even if they didn’t like Trump. They’ve got jobs now, business up, more black education, their pharmaceuticals are cheaper, soldiers have mostly been brought home, and most of all, he’s done what no other politician in living history has done, he’s KEPT his PROMISES! Oh, and he’s brokered three major peace deals that no-one in your or my lifetime has been able to do. Trump is loved because he loves America; he’s a patriot, and he understands that ordinary people have been disenfranchised. He’s an “outsider”. It’s Patriotism Vs Marxism, with Biden and the Democrats mortgaged to the likes of China, Ukraine, BLM and Antifa, not to mention the UN and the Covid-19 cover-up – all of which will enslave American people – and us! Ordinary patriotic Americans do not want this, and good people have risen up en-mass to ensure evil no longer thrives. They understand that they’ve been taken down the “identity politics” track to social destruction. Is it any wonder that patriots have gotten behind this smart, unconventional outsider who has stood up fearlessly to evil, doesn’t care what people think of him, so long as he gets the job done; is courageous, a fighter and has fought the good fight to try to save his country. He hasn’t taken a cent of his pay in 4 years, donating it instead. He’s a rough diamond, famously tweeting direct to the public to get around media opposition to win the first time; a man who’s had his ups and downs, but he’s given it his all for his country; he’s taken all the contrived rot that’s been thrown at him – for the good of the country, obviously, because it can’t have been nice! He’s been forgiven for his brashness and off-the-cuff texts, because he’s delivered. BIG time. The nation’s not been divided

by Trump – it was divided prior to that, but people have seen a way back, and backed him. THEY need to fight now, to back him, because he’s the best chance they have of getting their country back, and he promises to “give them back their Constitution”. I’m reminded where Trump’s concerned of the saying that God doesn’t raise up the best man, He raises up the best man for the job.

insidious” and that its effects may not be known to us for DECADES, by which time it will be TOO LATE. He said it wasn’t only politics, but in the community, business, universities etc.

Australia through UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Devt. Organisation) was party to the Lima Declaration in 1975, which was the “Plan of Action” to redistribute the world’s industry to ensure developing countries would have 25% of it by 2000. It was the “means by which the international community as a whole might take broad action to establish a New International Economic Order (NIEO)”. This is sometimes referred to as the New World Order (NWO).

7.

The NIEO would be achieved by eliminating trade barriers with developing countries, to “restructure” our industries in order to deploy productive capacity to developing countries. Transnational corporations would cooperate. Australia conformed to this, sending our manufacturing sector broke, deploying it to the “third world” and imported goods instead of making them. We sent farmers broke by eliminating trade barriers. It’s OK to insure your house, but how dare we insure our own farming and manufacturing success?

Lima was followed by GATT, then through a whole succession of UN and “regional” agreements, treaties and conventions up to TPP, Paris and a whole host of trade, climate, water, humanities, financial and health agreements. All these agreements effectively stole our sovereignty, sent our jobs overseas, killed our manufacturing industry, and pretty much nearly killed our farming sector, with many farmers going bust, losing their family farms etc. because government implemented policies in line with these agreements. Banking policy alongside this was the final nail in the coffin for so many.

Why does this matter to Australia?

Trump took on human trafficking and paedophilia rackets as soon as he got into office – much bigger than all of us dare to think, and Australia won’t be unscathed. Epstein and Ghislane Maxwell are just the tip of the iceberg. The Biden’s are implicated, as are the Clintons. There is big money, satanic power, and lots of bribery and corruption involved, which is why the media and powerful people like George Soros, Bloomberg and big tech corporates have backed Biden (even with Antifa and BLM violence) against Trump outing this dirty underground business. Mel Gibson warned us a few years ago (Graham Norton show) that “It’s an open secret in Hollywood”... “I don’t know how to break it to you gently… Hollywood is institutionalised paedophilia.” …. “Hollywood is drenched in the blood of innocent children.” Gibson was ostracised by Hollywood for speaking out. This is what Trump has been fighting, and one reason they’re trying to take him down so hard, by whatever means possible. It’s been established that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has “compromised” many politicians, media personnel, and people in positions of power. Joe and Hunter Biden, as well as other members of the Biden family have been compromised and paid millions. Joe Biden as President has not only been compromised by the CCP, but other countries as well, eg Ukraine which was proven by Joe’s self-incrimination in the CFR video-clip boasting about telling Ukraine to fire the prosecutor or they wouldn’t get the $1b loan from the USA. Hunter’s laptop has spelt everything out, and Tony Bobulinski, CEO of a CCP/Biden family joint venture, has come out with verified proof to say Joe was lying, and that the percentages held for “the big man” meant Joe. He met with Joe, who has maintained he didn’t know anything about Hunter’s business. Bobulinski says Joe was full bottle on it all but the family was paranoid about putting Joe’s name in writing. Hunter’s texts prove that Joe was his boss. It’s no secret that the CCP has hacked into Australian government computers; we’ve had the Sam Dastyari affair here over CCP interference; CCP influence in universities has been highlighted particularly in Brisbane recently, and when Chinese diplomat Chen Yonglin defected in 2005, he warned of the CCP’s infiltration strategy. Duncan Lewis, former ASIO director general, warned that “Espionage and foreign interference is

Trump understands this, and no matter what you think of him, he is the ONLY world leader at the moment with the guts to dare fight it - to pull out of these agreements; to bring soldiers and jobs back home, restore the economy, back oil and gas because wind and solar don’t cut it yet; to become self-sufficient, to fight the Marxist Antifa and BLM, calling it for what it is. At the time of writing, he’s looking good, but there were already many instances of voter fraud pre-polling, not to mention media suppression of any bad news for the Biden camp, like shutting down the NY Post’s facebook account; and a chief returning officer saying that they’ll make sure the Democrats win. But most of all, Trump has courageously shaken corruption’s tentacles at its very core. He’s tackled the Central Bank debt system – something that will especially affect us here if he’s successful. And, he’ll return the Constitution to the people, which has been undermined as has ours. These actions aren’t the actions of a selfish man, they’re the actions of a strategic fighter, a patriot who loves his country, who’s prepared to fight for freedom, doesn’t mind scrapping when he has to, and has already done more than anyone else to uphold its values and expose lies and cover-ups.

AMANDA SPALDING with Bob Holland

What services does Council provide? Bob: While we wait for people to take up the opportunity to tell our readers why they should be elected to Council next September I thought I would ask you to tell us more about the services Council provides to the people of Orange?

We support and advocate the advancement of the Aboriginal peoples of Orange and will cooperate to ensure the preservation of cultural practices, traditional sites and significant places. Council supports expressions of cultural identity.

Amanda: Council provides a lot of services to the public, so I thought we should concentrate on one area at a time. So, let’s look at the Community, Recreation and Cultural Services Department that provides the following services: Central West Libraries, City Presentation, Community Services, Cultural Services (Art Gallery and Museum) and Performing Arts and Venues.

Orange City Council and the Aboriginal peoples of Orange believe in a future characterised by social justice and community. Together, we seek to build a society free of racism and prejudice where Aboriginal peoples feel a strong sense of belonging and are able to participate fully in the life of the community.

This area of Council is widely recognised as well run and providing excellent very visible services, particularly Libraries, Sporting Facilities, Cultural Services and Performing Arts Venues. I am not actually clear what is meant by City Presentation, so perhaps someone can enlighten me. Community Services is perhaps less visible than sport and cultural areas and it is my experience that the services delivered are excellent. It provides the following services:Aboriginal ServicesChildren’s ServicesChoices at HomeDisability SupportMigrant SupportOrange Community GuideVolunteeringYoung People ABORIGINAL SERVICES In 2005 Orange City Council adopted this Statement of Commitment. It was developed to demonstrate to the entire Orange community that it is genuine about its responsibility to the Aboriginal community and to working in unison to achieve reconciliation. The Commitment states: Orange City Council recognises the Wiradjuri people as the traditional owners and custodians of this local government area. Orange City Council and the Aboriginal community are committed to working together in the process of reconciliation.

Orange City Council and the Aboriginal community will engage in an active partnership to develop programs and services, which meet the needs of our citizens. Council provides services and works with the Aboriginal community to deliver on this commitment. CHILDREN’S SERVICES Council runs the following Children’s Services that are a separate business activity that makes a small profit each year. In my experience Child Care centres are the subject of extensive external scrutiny to ensure that they are safe and provide quality services.

 Getting out and about – social support services  Volunteering There are fees for service with Choices at Home. Orange City Council endeavours to keep all fees to a minimum. For those clients who are assessed as not having the capacity to pay, payment plans can be arranged. DISABILITY SERVICES Orange City Council provides a range services for people living with a disability and their carers. These services are delivered in accord with : the NSW Disability Service Standards • Australia wide Home and Community Care (HACC) Standards and guided by the Orange Community Strategic Plan and the Orange Disability Action Plan.

Council trains volunteers and further information can be found at: https://www.orange.nsw.gov.au/choicesat-home/?tab=Volunteering YOUTH SERVICES Orange City Council organises facilities and activities for young people in Orange including:  Youth Services Interagency – for providers to get together and share information and ideas;

 Spring Street Preschool and Early Education Centre

The Orange Migrant Support Service provides information, referral and individual casework support to newlyarrived refugees and vulnerable migrants living in Orange, with outreach services to Cabonne, Forbes and Parkes local government areas. Orange City Council’s Migrant Support Officer is funded through the Department of Social Services.

 Yarrawong Preschool and Early Education Centre

THE AIM OF THE MIGRANT SUPPORT SERVICE IS TO:

 Youth Award - a monthly award with the aim of recognising and celebrating young people in our community;

• Provide information, referral and casework services for refugees and vulnerable migrants of up to 5 years residence in Australia;

 National Youth Week - is the largest celebration of young people in Australia in April each year.

 Courallie Park Preschool and Early Education Centre  Anson Street After School Care  Orange Family Day Care and Occasional Care

zT he newspaper headline ann ouncing his father’s murder.

Most of us can’t wait for Christmas, feeling that, with some justification, 2020 hasn’t quite lived up the expectations that we might have had for it this time last year. Bushfires, floods, the coronavirus lockdowns, the first economic recession in 30 years, Black Lives Matter, and ant-lockdown protests, has some complaining that 2020 is the year we all just want to forget.

drugs, and homelessness.

taunts all the time.”

But what if, despite its almost dystopian series of setbacks, we are living in one of the best periods of recent history. Local musician Russell Morris — named after the iconic Aussie rocker of the late 1960s and early 1970s — certainly believes so.

“My dad’s name was Raymond Keith Morris, and he was murdered on the 18th April 1975, I was only five and it has caused me a lot of trauma over the years,” Russell explained. Russell’s father at the time was dating iconic 1970s actress Abigail, famous for being the star of the racy soap opera, No. 96, the first Australian drama to feature promiscuity, nudity, drugs, and homosexuality.

This was also the era when violent bank robberies were almost a daily occurrence in Sydney with stocking-headed violent robbers brandishing sawn-off shotguns at terrified banktellers and unarmed security guards. “I was an apprentice jeweller at Double Bay, and there was an armed robbery on my first day, I had a shotgun put to my head, and I said to the robbers ‘I’ve only been here five minutes’.”

Russell is like many of us over 50 who — if we are really honest about it — believe that life in Australia is a far more prosperous, fair, open, and safer society than it was in the heady days of our youth. He should know, his early life was mired in the toxic mix of crime, notoriety, celebrity and sleaze that seemed to characterise so much of Australian society in the 1970s. Police regularly took kickbacks from organised crime to overlook illegal casinos that operated with impunity, with criminal gangs running prostitution rings (then illegal); and corruption at the highest levels of government. Forget Gladys Berejiklian and her shady boyfriend or Barry O’Farrell and the forgotten bottle of Grange Hermitage, NSW leader Robert Askin (Premier 1965–1975) openly-mixed with criminal SP (starting price) bookmakers with underworld figures like Abe Saffron, Percival Galea, and George Freeman, operating with impunity. Russell remembers the time well, it impacted his life leading to a spiral downwards of depression,

“My father was working for Perce (“The Prince”) Galea and was promoting blue (illegal pornographic) movies. “He was a show-pony, always dressed well, drove a Maserati and lived in a penthouse,” Russell said, though his father’s contacts, money, and celebrity were not enough to save him. “I found out that it was a hit from Abe Saffron put on my father. “It was never seen like that, it was seen as a robbery gone wrong, my father was friends with Percival Galea and worked for him at one of his clubs in Kings Cross,” Russell explained. “There was a missing $20,000 in cash and diamonds, so the police said it was a robbery, but they knew better.” Australia was also far more overtly-racist, none of the unconscious bias training, cultural appropriation, and positive gender and diversity quotas, of today. Russell who grew up in a Jewish household, remembers the taunts well. “You were always a ‘Jew boy’ or a ‘yid’ they would use those

| Saturday 7 November, 2020 |

“No time off, of course, my boss gave me $20 and said, ‘there you go, go buy yourself a drink,” he recalls. Stress counselling, post-traumatic stress, recognition of grief, was either unknown or considered a sign of mental weakness, Russell finding solace in his life-long love of drumming. “It has had a major effect on my life and surviving with mental health, it’s a release where I can forget myself,” he said. The unemployed were called “dole bludgers” the mentally ill were locked up in prison-style mental hospitals and drugged senseless and forced electric shock therapy, and sexual harassment was rife in many workplaces with no legal recourse. Domestic violence was no-one else’s business, the old school tie dominated politics and commerce, the poor locked-up for so-called crimes such as “no visible means of support”, “loitering with intent”, or “no known address”; chronic and industrial scale “poofta-bashing” with gays regularly beaten and even thrown off cliffs in urban Sydney… the good old days, makes you look back in anger!

HEALTH

PROPOSED CONVENTION TO PROTECT OUR ELDERLY With both the social control measures to control the coronavirus (that overwhelmingly impacts the elderly) and the current Royal Commission into the aged care sector; the treatment of our seniors is now in the spotlight. In this theme and in recognition of International Day of Older Persons, the Law Council of Australia recently announced in-principle support for a Convention on the Rights of Older Persons and is calling on the Federal Government to support the initiative. Law Council President, Pauline Wright, believes that such a convention has the potential to play an important role in improving the lives of older people globally and inform Australia’s own domestic legal and policy frameworks. “While other groups, such as women, children, and people with disability, have been recognised as requiring specific attention, there is nothing that caters for the human rights of older persons as a distinct group,” Ms Wright said. “Their specific needs, experiences, and human rights should be reflected and articulated in a focused international treaty. “By 2050, the United Nations projects that one in six people in the world will be over the age of 65, up from one in 11 in 2019,” she said. “That is why it is appropriate to shine a light on how societies can uphold equality and dignity of this group, and learn from their wisdom and experience,” Ms Wright added. “Discussions of the rights of older persons, and renewed consideration of the development of a convention on the rights of older persons, are particularly timely in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely impacted many older persons globally, with international responses often falling short. “We need to protect the human rights of older people – both in emergency settings, such as pandemics, and in everyday settings,” Ms Wright said. “While the Law Council is calling for a stronger legal framework at the international level, there is also a need to translate such obligations into our own domestic setting. “The Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety has heard numerous accounts of serious human rights violations. “That is one of the many reasons why the Law Council remains committed to the development of a Federal human rights act, which has the potential to achieve positive outcomes for the protection of the rights of older persons amongst many other Australians,” Ms Wright concluded.

BEING EXCLUDED COMMON FOR THOSE WITH DEMENTIA We all remember that old auntie who had become a little vague and forgetful, that we used to visit dutifully once a year? Well those people notice. Three out of four people who live with dementia believe that people don’t keep in touch like they used to, while 65 per cent say people they know have been avoiding or excluding them, results from a Dementia Australia survey have found. The survey findings reveal just how big an issue discrimination is and the impacts it has for people living with dementia, their families, and carers. Dementia affects close to half a million Australians and that number is set to double in the next 25 years. Other key findings from those who responded to the survey include: •94 per cent of family members, friends or carers who responded to the survey say people haven’t kept in touch with a relative who lives with dementia as they used to

the survey felt that people in shops, cafes and restaurants treat people with dementia differently •90 per cent of family members, friends or carers who responded to the survey say that their friend or relative who lives with dementia is treated with less respect than other people Ann Pietsch, who lives with dementia, said it was important to see people living with dementia as being regular, everyday people. “The stereotypes are that we’re all elderly and we’re all losing our memories and that we can’t really manage anything much,” Mrs Pietsch said.

“There are so many different people with dementia and there are so many types of dementias with all sorts of symptoms. It’s not just forgetting things – it’s more than that. It might be being unable to get organised or organise your day or your thoughts, or having a fuzzy day, as I call it.

found an awesome coach who I really trusted, and she gave me confidence. She was so patient. She broke the whole thing into little pieces of information that my brain could process. More than 5000 people responded to the survey during Dementia Action Week including people living with dementia, families and carers, people who work in the health and aged care sectors, and members of the general public. The purpose of the survey was to help create an informed, national picture to better understand how discrimination for people living with dementia occurs and what it would take to shift that discrimination. Dementia Australia is the central source of trusted information, education, and services for the estimated half a million Australians living with dementia, and the almost 1.6 million people involved in their care. For support, please contact the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500. An interpreter service is available, and the Helpline is open 8–8pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays).

DADDY, WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE GREAT COVID-19 WAR?

The Coronavirus has affected us all in ways that we could not have imagined possible. From gambling, housing, exercise, and the great outdoors, we have adapted, adjusted, and had a look at how we live our lives.

BRICKS AND MORTAR BOUNCE BACK AS WE LOOK TO UPGRADE The coronavirus — with its travel bans, lockdowns, and forced quarantining — has led many of us to have a good, hard look at our housing with many deciding it’s time for an upgrade. Lack of discretionary spending and government assistance to first home builders have also contributed to a building boom in Orange and throughout Australia. “The number of building approvals for new homes jumped by 15.4 per cent in seasonally-adjusted terms,” Denita Wawn, CEO of Master Builders Australia said. “During September, there was a 9.7 per cent increase in private sector detached house approvals while approvals for apartments and units did even better, jumping by 23.4 per cent up from August,” she said. “These positive figures are mirrored by lending data showing a 25.3 per cent surge in the number of loans to owner occupiers for new home construction. “Even prior to the start of the Covid-19 crisis, new home building activity in Australia had been in the advanced stages of downturn. The introduction of HomeBuilder has turned things around. Approvals for new detached houses are now 20.7 per cent up on this time last year,” she said. “The recovery in residential building will benefit the whole economy. Every $1 million in residential building activity supports nine jobs right around our economy,” Ms Wawn said. “The upturn generated by HomeBuilder is helping claw back some of the jobs lost as a result of the pandemic.” She advocates in our most unusual times for the extension of Government assistance for home-builders. “Extending HomeBuilder until the end of 2021, will maximise the benefits of the scheme will be fully maximised. “It will mean the renewed momentum in the housing market to reach its full potential over the course of next year and provide even more benefits to our whole economy in terms of restoring employment,” she concluded.

HAVE VAN, WILL TRAVEL FOR AUSSIES AFTER LOCKDOWN

We’ve all gained a new recognition of the importance of the great outdoors during the current pandemic with that 1950s favourite, the caravan, suddenly back in vogue, new figures show.

Orange caravan park visitor numbers over the school holidays have been reflected nationwide with camping trips proving popular for families looking to spend some time together. Caravan parks across Australia reached average occupancy levels as high as 72 per cent in cabins and 64 per cent in powered sites for the school holidays as confidence starts to return among Aussies looking to spend time with loved ones in the great Aussie outdoors. This resulted in an estimated $170 million worth of economic benefit generated over the school holidays in regional communities throughout Australia. To put this in context, during COVID restrictions the two weeks post Easter, normally a busy period, only saw $12.4 million in 2020. While this significant injection of visitor expenditure has helped many businesses across the country start to see some relief, this is still a far cry from business as usual for many others. There are still many communities throughout the country that are struggling from the extended impacts of border restrictions and the disrupted visitor movement for long-term travellers such as “grey nomads”, coupled with aftermath of the bushfires earlier in the year. The school holiday occupancy figures provide hope for what is

to come for those regions still struggling. This showed a pentup demand among Aussies who have spent months facing the challenges that COVID-19 has bought to our lives. Cabin occupancy increased on the same period last year with early indications suggesting that a raft of ‘first-timers’ are now seeing the many benefits of a camping holiday. This includes the array of choice offered by accommodation types for all budgets, from unpowered sites to cabin and “glamping” accommodation. Not only are caravan parks naturally open spaces, they were some of the very first to adopt COVID best practices regarding contactless check-in, cleaning and guest declaration tracking to keep guests safe. “Cabin accommodation and motorhome hire are easy entry points for first timers and those wishing to take a road trip and explore this vast and wonderful country,” Keelan Howard GM of Marketing & Communications, Caravan Industry Association of Australia.

Pokie profits bounce-back as the lockdown has eased More money spent gambling online during the coronavirus lockdown has now been matched by a jump in poker-machine profits once the quarantine period ended.

“As much of this activity now happens behind a screen, and with fewer face to face catch ups out in public, it’s easy to miss or disguise the signs that you or someone you know may be in trouble.”

With recent data showing a 12 percent increase in gaming machine profits across Two recent studies have indicated NSW from June–August after the lockdown that COVID-related stress and financial period ended, COVID has also played a difficulties have impacted the way some significant role in other changes linked to people gamble. increased gambling.

it starts to impact on your relationships or your finances. Being gamble aware provides the opportunity to spot the signs before a problem develops.” To highlight the warning signs for problem gamblers, the NSW Office of Responsible Gambling recently launched an interactive Checkmate Trivia game on its website: responsiblegambling.nsw.gov. au/checkmates. “Learn how to spot risky gambling behaviours by visiting the website and get expert tips so you can check in with friends, colleagues or loved ones,” Ms Wright concluded.

z Orange PCYC is a not-forprofit with all monies goingback into the Club, Manager, Jaime Wenban with Assistant Manager, Dave Cleal.

Back in business, PCYC is relying on its patrons Bounce of basketballs and the thump of punching bags has returned to Orange PCYC with the facility now at 90 per cent of its pre-COVID-19 shutdown capacity. While some may believe that the Centre (full-name: Police & Community Youth Clubs) is fully-funded and supported by Government, local PCYC’s rely on the patronage of their customers to keep going. “That’s absolutely right, we’re not funded by Government, we do get grants and things, but we’re a not-for-profit, everything we earn goes back into the Club,” Manager, Jaime Wenban, explained. “We have basketball, netball, indoor hockey, futsal (indoor soccer), a gym for fitness, gymnastics, and trampolining, as well as outdoor netball courts and cricket,” Assistant Manager Dave Cleal added. But like many in the non-government sector, they relied on the JobKeeper

community organisation with the first opened in Woolloomooloo in inner-city Sydney before World War II to offer indoor sports for children from poor backgrounds.

initiative to keep staff on during the eightweek long-down earlier this year due to the coronavirus.

we have a 20-limit capacity for our gymnastics. Normally we might have up to 30 or so people in here,” Jaime said.

“We shut down on March 27, and we spent the six to eight-week lockdown keeping busy, we painted, mulching of the gardens, gave the place a brighten-up,” Dave explained. “We were on JobKeeper and, eventually, all our casual staff were able to come back.”

“There is a lot of extra work and management to ensure proper sanitising and all the regs are adhered to.”

The Mission of the PCYC was originally to get young people active in life; develop their skills, character and leadership; and to prevent and reduce crime by and against young people.

“When we came back, it was in dribs and drabs, we kind of half-opened,” Jaime said. “We started-off slow but, by the start of Term Three, we went big and we’re now back to full-capacity.”

Patrons, she said, can be assured of standards that are more stringent than those required by the State’s health authorities. “We’re COVID-safe, absolutely, we go above and beyond the requirements with temperature checking and more,” Jaime said.

The organisation is community-based and involves the provision of low-cost structured activities to children and adults aimed specifically at less-privileged areas.

“We started with our kids with fitness classes, the ‘Ninja Warriors’ and we’re just starting our Adults Gymnastics for Fitness.”

Clubs typically offer a wide variety of sports such as basketball, indoor soccer, weight-lifting gyms, dancing, wrestling/ grappling, boxing, martial arts and many other activities and hobbies. Different clubs may have different activities going on to one another. The PCYC has a range of over 60 clubs across the State.

Like all sports though, things are not quite what they were in pre-pandemic times. “Everything is back, but we’re on limited capacity due to social distancing , we’re at about 90 per cent,” Jaime said. “We have a complete COVID-plan than can change monthly or whenever the regulations change,” Dave added. “On the fitness room, for instance,

Other classes offered at Orange include music lessons for hand drums, drums, and guitar; kids fit; box and kick; Zumba; bootcamp; stretch and flex; and boxing for fitness (non-competitive). Police & Community Youth Clubs (PCYC) are a uniquely-Australian non-profit

“Our mission is to get kids active in life, we started with boxing, and it went from there,” Dave explained.

MORE LOCAL — LESS OF THE “LOCO” INPUT Your feeble “cop-out” last week in TALKING POINTS was an insult to the journalistic code of ethics. You stated ”NEWSWATCH still supports that ratherquaint old-fashioned concept of ‘freedom of speech’” as your defence of the biased, unsubstantiated, unsourced, libelous rubbish offered on a regular basis by CUCKOO BIRD. The disgraceful attack on Joe Biden and his son a fortnight back was straight-out of those rebel-rouser, ratbag websites such as QAnon and the likes. No need to prove anything — publish and be damned. Let’s get back to the journalistic code of ethics. In part, and these are direct quotes, it states:

gobsmacked — if CUCKOO BIRD is a trained journalist. She certainly observes few, if any, of the code of ethics rules. Another letter recently pointed out your publication sells itself as being concerned with local issues and the author asked why this contributor is given a full page — at times double page. Couldn’t agree more — the views are anything but local — more LOCO. * Disclosure: I was a journalist all my working life.

About The Back Page…

It has been great to see a paper with the courage to publish items and opinions that differ from the opinions forced upon us by ridiculously Left-biased shows like “The Project” and “Q and A”. Jeanine writes in a way that reflect the values of the silent majority and she has every right to be heard. Sure, provide those of different ilk the opportunity as well, but don’t cut Jeanine because she dares to challenge the ongoing destruction of long-held and respected values. Wes Vane
