There were a couple of big announcements from Orange City Council on Monday, with the official opening of the new stretch of Brabham Way from Anson Street to Woodward Street, and news of a grant to explore the possibility of building a recycled water treatment demonstration plant. The plant would treat and recycle wastewater and could produce about 3.5 megalitres of water a day, which is apparently roughly a quarter of Orange’s daily needs. The water would be used by the Cadia Gold Mine for industrial purposes. It’s a great idea. We’ve been pretty fortunate with our water supply over the past few wet years, but there will be drought again soon enough, and any steps towards improving our water security are welcome.

It appears to be festival season in Orange with a run of community events coming up over the next few weeks: Orange Chamber Music Festival, March 6–9; Orange Running Festival, March 9 (we hear events are selling out, so register soon if you haven’t); Rainbow Festival, March 19-23, and then of course it’s Orange FOOD Week, March 28 – April 6.

What do you do for a living and what do you love about it?

they’ve just grown up a little bit more.

That’s the meaning of life.

I am a public relations and marketing expert, concentrating on strategic PR and communications and growth hacking. So, by growth hacking, I mean we actually look at businesses and determine how to use different strategies from our toolkit to help them improve their businesses and outcomes. It might be a technology pivot, or it might be a new partner or collaboration. It’s not solely or wholly about PR and marketing, its also about the value -add of business strategy as well. I’m also an awardwinning author, speaker, coach, and I’ve been in a founding team across six highly successful businesses of my own over time. And, I’m a mum!

Describe your ideal day out in Orange?

But what do I love about it? I just love helping people- I think I was born to be a teacher, coach and mentor. I’m also a ballerina, and when I was learning ballet, I loved the performance aspect and the presentation. Ballerinas can be in the worst pain of their lives, or have a million other things going on through their head but they still show up with poise and grace. That’s what attracted me to PR- it’s giving businesses and people their best angles, and how to show the world their best angles.

Oh, for me it’s a mix of things. I need people in my life. I’m a big believer in the power of five- you are the sum of the five people in your life who you spend the most time with. So, I’m very careful to curate who has access to me but also what is going into my mind, such as my wellness; and also, what goes into my body. Since my breast cancer diagnosis, I see the world very differently and in colour.

My children are my biggest cup-fillers these days. Seeing them achieve at school, or that day when you realise

I actually had an ideal day out recently where I just spent time at Maquariedale Organic Wines. It’s a vineyard at very high altitude. And so, lying in the shade with a picnic and a bottle of wine and incredible company and conversation was perfect. And then from there we went for a walk around their stunning grounds. Pure magic. It’s just the most beautiful region to live in. The other aspect is I live in Millthorpe, and there’s something very special about being able to walk in our beautiful outdoors and see so many people you know, just to have that incredible sense of community.

What is your idea of the perfect holiday?

I’m not actually very good at holidays! I’ve just been really conscious of building a beautiful life I don’t need a holiday from. That might sound cliché, but we have the most amazing lifestyle here in Orange! I do love LA, because incredible things happen there, just by chance. I was recently in Bali, and it’s just the little moments and discoveries I love of travelling somewhere new.

What is a favourite parenting moment?

For me, it was watching my children deal with their mum’s cancer diagnosis. It’s a terrible thing for them to go through, but they had to dig deep in their resilience and it was beautiful to see how strong they are.

As parents we often underestimate their capabilities.

If you were running for mayor what would your motto be?

“Just look at what we have here!”

Prestigious Golden Eagle pairs tournament takes flight this Monday

owlers representing some 26 clubs from across NSW and Victoria will take to the greens on Monday, February 24, for the start of the Orange Motor Group City Of Orange Golden Eagle Pairs Tournament.

Once again, this year will see some

— BY JONATHAN ROE — big names competing in the $20,000 tournament, including last year’s winners Lee Schragner and partner Dylan Essex. Lee Schragner is the current World Singles Champion and the pair are expected to be tough to beat.

“We didn’t think they were coming,” City of Orange Bowling Club Director Ray Wilson said, having only just received the nomination prior to speaking with Orange City Life last Thursday. “We thought they were already committed to another event, but this final nomination from him has really topped the number of really Top Line players coming this year.”

Runners-up Matt and Andrew Swann of Charlestown are also returning to

try and get their hands on the Golden Eagle and spearheading the local contenders is current City of Orange club champion Bernie Diduszko, who will be playing with Melbourne import Paul Gonzales.

From the very first year to today, winning the Golden Eagle tournament has been a highly coveted prize for bowlers, Ray said.

“There’s somewhat of a prestige associated with the Golden Eagle simply because it was probably one of the first really big pairs invitation tournaments,” he explained.

Anyone wanting to see some worldclass bowls action is welcome to attend all four days of competition as well as the Calcutta auction on Sunday evening, February 23, prior to the tournament.

Then there’s the tournament’s truly grand and unique one-metre-tall trophy featuring a golden eagle with a wingspan of 95 centimetres.

“That’s always a fun night,” Ray said, “because all of the guys that think they’ve got a chance, they start bidding pretty high, as you can imagine!”

History LiFE

with JONATHAN ROE

Not the first, but Orange’s Bellair Motel was at the forefront of Aussie motel boom accompanied the official opening in July 1957. “Bellair” was chosen to reflect this origin story, being named for the thennew suburb of Hollywood. The problem was that locals apparently pronounced “Bel-Air” as “Blair” and so the owners had to settle on a different spelling.

A touring photographic exhibition that takes a nostalgic look at Australia’s roadside motels has shone a little light on Orange’s own pioneering tourism venture, the Bellair Motel.

The souvenir supplement details the modern features of the novel structure and its striking colour scheme of alternating doors painted skyline blue, poinsettia red, daffodil yellow, regal blue and dove grey.

Currently on exhibition at the Orange Regional Museum, Reception this way: motels – a sentimental journey with Tim Ross looks back on a time when the roadside motel was an integral part of the Australian holiday experience.

The exhibition was developed by the National Archives of Australia in collaboration with comedian Tim Ross, who describes it as a “pictorial love letter to a somewhat bygone era, capturing the glamour and convenience of the roadside motel…”

But when the exhibition launched last November, locals were left questioning why Orange’s own claim to motel history did not get a mention, as it’s often been said the Bellair Motel, now known as the Mid-City Motor Lodge, was the first in NSW. “When we opened, we had lots of locals come in and kind of question why the Bellair Motel wasn’t featured,” Orange Regional Museum Manager, Dr MaryElizabeth Andrews, said.

“Obviously, locals really felt that it warranted it with this story going around that it was the first motel in NSW…. What’s lovely about that is it’s led us to do a little bit of digging and a little bit of research,

Bellair Motel, 1957. Photo by Malcolm Middleton. Gift of Jan Harris, Orange Regional Museum collection. Often claimed to be the first in NSW, Orange’s Bellair Motel, now known as the Mid-City Motor Lodge, was actually the ninth when it opened in July 1957.

and we found a wealth of information about the opening of the Bellair Motel.”

When the Bellair Motel opened in July 1957, it was the ninth motel operating in NSW, with others already established in Bathurst, Albury, Canberra, Wagga Wagga, Goulburn, Dubbo, Gosford and Taree. Four more were also in the process of being built at Cowra, Tamworth, Wellington and Queanbeyan.

But the dream of an “American” motel for Orange had begun some years prior.

that idea from the United States. Hugh McCarron had been in California and had seen a motel and stayed in a motel when there weren’t any in Australia at that time, that was 1952.”

At the time, McCarron and Middleton conducted the local tourist office in Summer Street. Over the next few years, the plan to build a motel in Orange took shape and attracted enormous interest from local backers.

“I think what is really interesting that’s come to light, is the idea was really early in the piece,” Dr Andrews said.

“The idea took a little bit of time to get off the ground… but interesting that they started that discussion well before motels existed in New South Wales,” Dr Andrews said.

“So the people who conceived of the motel here in Orange, Hugh McCarron and Malcolm Middleton, actually imported

The story of how the idea for a motel was “sown in California” appears in a special newspaper supplement that

“It was something that was just completely unheard of,” Dr Andrews said of the fanfare and excitement that surrounded the opening of these new motels in Australia.

“Car travel is obviously the thing that precipitates the idea, but it’s that shift away from staying in pub-style hotel accommodation in regional NSW to something that’s geared towards car travel and geared towards families as well — it was a totally novel idea.

“I think this exhibition really illuminates that well because it looks at the emergence and heyday of the motel…

It’s a great exhibition topic. There’s that nostalgia and personal recollection, but it’s also about the history of design, and it’s about economic development, and it’s about the changing way in which we live our lives and we’re always interested in investigating that.”

icole Fagan, a former Orange resident, relocated to Kununurra with her husband and daughter for his pilot career. While working as a family support worker in Western Australia, she often encountered women and children who had escaped domestic violence and substance abuse and were left with very little.

Nicole then reached out to Nashdale CWA member Danielle Haase and mentioned there was an opportunity to donate appropriate clothing to the community. The group jumped at the chance, and started collecting immediately. The team in Kununurra are after summer clothes as there is no need for warm clothes, and often need clothes for non-residents who travel into town to attend funerals.

60th anniversary of the first

ORANGE FESTIVAL OF ARTS

Scenes of Summer Street during the 1981 Orange Festival of Arts.

Photos by John Kich. Part of the Central West Libraries’ Recollect Central West collection

This February marks the 60th anniversary of the very first Orange Festival of Arts.

The festival ran every two years from its founding in 1965 until 1987 and was one of the first and largest of its kind to take place outside of an Australian capital city.

The Orange Festival of Arts brought creative arts and cultural events to the region, including experimental theatre, ballet, recitals, one-act plays and opera. It raised greater awareness and interest in the creative arts and was a major contributing factor in building Orange’s prominence as a vibrant cultural centre.

In 2023, a collection of 1300 photographs, posters, programs and documents relating to the were digitised and added to the Central West Libraries’ Recollect Central West website.

The Orange Regional Museum collection also holds posters and programs from Festivals, and staff are preparing an exhibition about the Orange Festival of Arts to open in April 2025.

Energy experts, market operators and Australia’s leading economists have been clear: Australia can achieve a secure, reliable, and affordable power system without nuclear power.

Unlike the major parties, my approach is to do things with the community - not to them.

The Coalition’s nuclear plan is an economic wrecking ball thatt will waste billions, push up power prices and stall job creation in regional Australia. I will not support it.

‘LET’S MOVE TOGETHER’: Local program making it easier for women and girls to play sport and be active

O

range City Council is overseeing a free program designed to remove barriers, address discrimination and promote equality for women and girls to participate in sport and physical activity.

The local program, named Let’s Move Together, has been made possible thanks to a $556,000 grant from the Australian Government’s $200 million Play Our Way program, which funds local initiatives and ideas to address participation barriers faced by women and girls.

we’ll be able to. over the next three years remove some barriers with a focus on low socioeconomic backgrounds, LGBTQI+ , Indigenous, and people with a disability,” Cr Greenhalgh said.

“We all know the benefits that come from playing sport - physical, mental, social. I think it’s going to give women in our community a lot more confidence and just that wonderful feeling of community… that feeling of belonging, I think, is so important and it should be available to everyone.

“There shouldn’t be any barriers like financial barriers, discrimination or any of those things.

Orange Deputy Mayor and Sport and Recreation Committee Chair, Cr Tammy Greenhalgh said the Council would use the funds over the next three years to provide greater opportunities for women and girls to access, participate and remain involved in local sport and physical activities.

In Orange the program will target women and girls who have not had the opportunity to play sport or have not engaged in physical activity for 12 months or more, and will focus on mainstream sports such as netball, basketball, rugby league, touch football, league tag and AFL, as well as wellness programs such as yoga and pilates.

“What that means for our community is

“We’d also like to increase women’s

participation in the running of our local sporting clubs as coaches and officials, committee members and administrative roles,” Cr Greenhalgh said.

Kristen Hunter, Project Officer delivering the local program, said the money will be used to help pay for things like registration fees, equipment and even uniforms.

...We all know the benefits that come from playing sport - physical, mental, social. I think it’s going to give women in our community a lot more confidence and just that wonderful feeling of community...

“So making sure that women have the right equipment that they need to be able to play that sport…that’s where the money will be spent,” Ms Hunter said.

“It’s very exciting,” she continued. “I’ve played sport all my life. I’ve got two daughters that are heavily involved in sports. I think this will just encourage more participation, which we all need, but also identify clubs that probably don’t always have that larger female participation.”

Women and girls wishing to take part in the program should contact Kristen Hunter at Orange City Council’s Community Services on 6393 8600 or visit www.orange.nsw.gov.au/ lets-move-together

LET’S TALK MONEY

with DANIEL MCGREGOR

I

SAVE BIG, KEEP MORE OF YOUR MONEY, LIVE BETTER!

wanted to share with you an example of how INDEPENDENT financial advice is changing lives in Orange. Names and other identifying details have been changed for obvious reasons, and figures have been rounded to make them easier to read.

Phil and Denise are aged in their 50s. They have been married for 25 years and both work locally.

They expect to continue working for the next 10 years.

Phil and Denise came to see me with a simple ambition: to be able to retire as comfortably as possible, when the time comes. They had got some advice from a financial planner some time ago but had noticed that the name of the person who is supposed to be their adviser kept changing at the top of their annual statement and they were getting no ongoing advice at all. A friend had recommended they come and see me.

Between them, Phil and Denise earn about $130,000 per year. They receive compulsory superannuation amounts of 11.5%, or $14,950 per year. Importantly, they own their home and they also have an investment property with a loan of approximately 30% of the property’s value. Combined, they have approximately $350,000 in superannuation.

Phil and Denise are sensible enough to understand

that they don’t have enough to retire as comfortably as they’d like and really want to try and do something about it.

They have never paid much attention to superannuation, but keep hearing they should. When they took out a loan years ago, they were encouraged by their bank to get some advice from the bank’s financial adviser and ended up in a retail super fund affiliated with that bank. As it turns out, they’ve been paying fees of 1.5% per year… the average in Australia is around 1% and I routinely put my clients in super investments with fees below 0.3%!

This means that Colin and Jenny are paying approximately $5,250 per year to manage their superannuation.

I worked with Phil and Denise to find a profit-formembers fund as an appropriate place for them to hold their superannuation. This fund charges a flat member fee of $1.50 per week, an admin fee of 0.10% and the recommended investments within the super fund have investment fees of 0.13%.

This means that Phil and Denise could have their existing $350,000 incurring fees of only $961 per year.

Simply rolling their superannuation benefits over from the existing fund to the new fund will save Phil and Denise $4,289 every year! As more money goes

into their super, the saving will only increase over time.

Given it’s likely that one or both of them will live well into their 90s, it’s not difficult to see that simply switching their superannuation benefits from a very expensive retail fund to a very low cost profit-formember fund may well save them a six-figure sum (and easily a six-figure sum for someone who does this in their 30s or 40s).

What’s more, because the benefits to Phil and Denise are in terms of an amount saved, the benefit will definitely happen – the point being that the benefit is not reliant on investment returns, it’s simply a saving in fees. Add into the mix some tax-effective super contributions that reduce tax, utilizing investment options that suit their needs and timeframe for accessing their funds, some budgeting advice, some help with estate planning and visual projections to show what the financial future may look like for these clients, it’s not hard to see how these clients are better off for seeking professional independent financial advice.

INDEPENDENT financial advice changes lives. If you think you might benefit from some, get in touch for a FREE financial health check.

Cheers, Daniel

If you’d like to find out more about how INDEPENDENT financial advice could help you manage cash flow, pay off the mortgage faster, get the most out of super and invest wisely, then get in touch on 0411 484 464 or head to wealthtrain.com.au. This advice may not be suitable to you because it contains general advice which does not take into consideration any of your personal circumstances. All strategies and information provided are general advice only.

BRABHAM WAY OFFICIALLY OPEN!

I

t was terrific to join Senator Deb O’Neill and Orange City Council to officially open the new section of the Southern Feeder Road, Brabham Way!

The Southern Feeder now connects Anson Street to Shiralee Road. This will cut congestion along some of Orange’s busiest streets and make travelling through Orange safer, easier and quicker.

It will also improve the safety and efficiency of freight movement for our region’s agricultural businesses and mining operations, as well as better connect areas of Orange to the health precinct!

The federal government has contributed about $14 million over several years to this vital project, which is now open to the public!

Shout-out to the teams from council and the contractors who made it all happen!

Great work!

loves were off at the Cargo Inn recently as poets from across the state stepped up to the mic to share their bush prose & woes at the 2025 Banjo Patterson Festival!

Michael Garrity and I had a great time judging the competition.

A big shout-out to the one and only Neil Gill, for hosting an unforgettable evening that supported our local businesses and celebrated all things Cargo!

Neil and I sang Banjo’s Waltzing Matilda as our own tribute to the great poet.

Good times, a cold one with your mates, and bush poetry are all part of our Aussie tradition. Sharing legendary stories, poems, songs and funny yarns is essential for celebrating rural life.

Congratulations to John Moyes of Clarence Town for winning the 2025 Cargo Poetry Cup, and a special mention to 89-year-old Ted Webber from Young, NSW (Wombat Bush Poets) for taking home the People’s Choice Award!

Thank you for an awesome night Cargo!

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER MAJOR PARTY STEALS MY IDEA FOR A BAN ON FOREIGN BUYING OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY AFTER VOTING AGAINST IT

Y

ou can’t make it up. Last year I introduced into Parliament the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Foreign Entities Bill 2024.

Even though it would put downward pressure on house prices by cutting out competition from foreign property speculators, the National Party, the Liberal Party, and the Labor Party all voted against it.

It would bring the goal of home ownership into reach for thousands more Australians each year by banning foreign buyers from snapping up homes on our shores for two years.

Then the Coalition stole my Bill and announced it as their policy and this week the Labor Party did as well.

The downright plagiarism of my Bill once again lays bare the

TRUE COUNTRY INDEPENDENTS SETTING THE PACE IN PARLIAMENT

L

ast week in Parliament I once again put a national spotlight on the devastating rural doctor shortage crisis facing the Central West.

I put forward a parliamentary motion calling on the House of Representatives to acknowledge the disgraceful rural doctor shortage crisis and its devastating impacts and also to take urgent action to end the crisis and deliver equality in access to doctors and medical services for country residents and country communities.

Put simply, our communities are at breaking point. The situation can only be described as catastrophic.

Country people have shorter life expectancies than city people. It's both tragic and utterly unacceptable, but it's true, and there is no end in sight as this health crisis worsens every day.

Our smaller towns such as Gulgong are being left without doctors and those doctors that remain in our region are closing their books to new patients.

Book closures are happening in smaller communities, such as Molong and Canowindra, but also larger ones, such as Mudgee, Orange and Bathurst.

The waiting time to see a GP in Wellington is now about two months. The pressure on our doctors, emergency departments and communities is immense.

I’ve again brought this issue to Parliament because urgent action is needed now. This rural doctor shortage crisis is a disgrace.

Andrew in Parliament last week Country people are being treated as secondclass citizens.

Immediate action is needed, and that’s why I called on the House of Representatives to take it as a matter of urgency.

I am again insisting that the Minister for Health visits the region to witness the impact this crisis is having on the ground.

The Health Minister needs to get out here on the double and give country people the equality in medical services they deserve.

Late last year I introduced my Doctors for the Bush Bill into Parliament which would have seen thousands of new doctors working in country areas. None of the major parties supported it, which is very disappointing.

I intend to keep raising this crisis in Parliament and shaming all these political parties into action.

1/179A Anson Street, Orange NSW 2800 andrew.gee.mp@aph.gov.au

hypocrisy of major political parties — no wonder people are cynical about politics and politicians.

The theft of my Bill by the major parties after voting against it is a sorry reflection of the uninspiring political leadership we see all too often these days.

But it does show you who’s setting the pace on housing policy in this country.

NSW TOURISM AWARDS - SUCCESS FOR ORANGE BUSINESSES

I

n a recent speech to Parliament I recognised some of our region's outstanding small businesses, who took out honours in the recent New South Wales Tourism Awards.

Small business is the backbone of our region and our country.

The Black Sheep Inn at Borenore took out GOLD for Hosted Accommodation and The Oriana Retro Hotel & Resort in Orange won GOLD for 4 to 4.5 Star Deluxe Accommodation.

Our nation needs to support and value our small businesses and all they do for our communities and we congratulate all of our award winners from around our region in the New South Wales Tourism Awards.

Our local businesses do an amazing job contributing to our local economy, employing local residents and attracting thousands of tourists every year to our beautiful region.

CONTINUING THE FIGHT TO KEEP CASH KING!

L

ast week in Parliament, I brought on a vote on my Keeping Cash Transactions In Australia Bill.

My Bill would have legislated that businesses operating in face to face settings must accept cash payments for transactions that do not exceed $10,000.

This groundbreaking legislation would have preserved the use of cash in our national economy.

But disappointingly, the major parties failed to support it and the many Australians who use cash every single day.

I’m going to continue fighting to keep cash king in Australia.

Unique venues, free community events and world-class music: Orange Chamber Music Festival returns March 6–9

T

he Orange Chamber Music Festival returns this March 6–9 with a diverse program of events to delight music lovers and showcase our city’s thriving cultural and culinary scenes.

Now in its fifth year, the 2025 Orange Chamber Music Festival has built a reputation for presenting a program of highquality music in a variety of unique venues ranging from churches to cellar doors and farm stables. It’s a recipe that sees increasing numbers of music lovers return year after year.

“This year we are bringing 17 different events in 13 venues, showcasing not only Orange but Nashdale and Millthorpe…we’ve got two churches, a barn, horse stables, concert halls, the library and gallery!”

Festival Director Carmen Nieves said.

“It’s what I think makes it a very unique festival… People are excited to see what’s next and what new venue they are going to discover. At the Orange Chamber Music Festival, they get a lot of fine dining and great wine, great experiences and great music!”

“It’s really important for us to showcase our town in the festival,” added festival producer, Jay Byrne.

“We’re local residents ourselves and we love the town. We want to showcase the high-quality music and everything that Orange has to offer as well.”

The 2025 festival program gets underway on Thursday, March 6, with returning favourites the Orava Quartet, who will be performing in the Derek Pigot Auditorium at Kinross Wolaroi School. The opening night concert is one of several featured performances, with tickets still available for the general public.

“We’re hoping to fill the auditorium for that performance,” Carmen said. “The Orava Quartet are returning for their third year here and they’re festival favourites. A lot of people come especially to hear them play.”

A key feature of the Orange Chamber Music Festival is the community event, Cultured, a full day of music in the cultural precinct, with performances held in the library, gallery and Orange Civic Theatre.

Cultured begins 10am Saturday, March 8, in Orange City Library with Elemental Resonance, an interactive performance for all ages by harpist Paul Nicolaou, using sensorial elements to enhance the audience’s perceptions of sound, music and colour.

“We’re very excited about the sensorial concert at the library,” Carmen said. “It’s a style of performance more targeted to neurodivergent people.. music in that setting is more relaxed and they can touch and they can feel and smell, rather than sitting there for an hour quietly.”

Cultured then continues with the newly established Cultured Youth Orchestra, featuring young local musicians who will be performing a program titled ‘Australiana’ at the Orange Civic Theatre, a celebration of Australian themes by Australian living composers.

The final event sees alumni of the acclaimed Australian Chamber Orchestra present a specially curated performance in the Anne Thomson exhibition at Orange Regional Gallery.

“The exciting thing for me is that everything is free, so it’s open to absolutely anybody that wants to come along and experience these performances in unique settings,” Jay said.

“Part of the mission of Cultured is to show that classical music isn’t scary and it isn’t elitist; it can be for everybody. We know that classical music has a little bit of a stigma about it, and we’re trying to break that barrier because we don’t think it should

have that stigma. So including all these events that are accessible for everyone, I think, is a really great thing.”

The climax of the 2025 Orange Chamber Music Festival is a very special Festival Gala celebrating International Women’s Day on Saturday March 8.

Curated by Carmen Nieves, Opus.

Her, weaves together archival footage, narrative and melody, in a tribute to women composers, singers and leaders from a diverse range of eras and backgrounds.

“It will be an all-women performance and mostly women composers as well,” Carmen said. “It’s an evening of high-calibre performances telling the story of women throughout time and it will be an audiovisual sort of show, so a little bit different from what we normally do – it’s a really interesting show!”

The Orange Chamber Music Festival takes place March 6–9. For the full program of events and links to tickets visit www.ocmf.com.au Cultured is the flagship community event of the festival, delivering free performances in the Orange Civic Theatre, the Orange City Library and the Orange Regional Gallery on March 8.

TOOT KEEGAN CHAMPION DAY AT ANSON STREET PUBLIC SCHOOL Photos and words by EMILY THOMPSON

Every year the staff and students celebrate the life of their school champion, the late Yvonne “Toot” Keegan with colour, fun and smiles.

This year was extra special, after this amazing woman Yvonne received Australia’s highest honour, the Order of Australia Medal for her unmatched dedication to Orange community and sports this January. The students enjoyed face painting, outdoor games, an explosive colour run and bubbles at the finish line. Her legacy lives on, and her life is celebrated with unmitigated love from those she inspired.

Trade and Service of the Week providing the Self-Employment Assistance Program.

Job satisfaction is high and job quality is assured if you use Orange’s latest gardening service Ole Skool Mowing & Gardening.

Deanne at APM is Brian’s business mentor, where Brian qualifies his eligibility to receive the financial support of the program and loves the training, support, coaching and guidance that is provided through this Self-Employment Assistance Program.

He has also been referred to Many Rivers to gain additional business startup support.

Brian Meyers started off the business thinking it would be solely-mowing, but he said the city of Orange needed more gardening providers so he pivoted immediately. Starting his business last October, it has been a successful move.

“Both VERTO and APM kept coming up with ideas to help me and I just kept working,” he said.

“It’s a growing company, I think it’s going to go places and I’m excited. I’m hoping I’ll be able to connect with VERTO to find a new employee as my business expands. “

“Gardening is my speciality,” Brian commented.

“I absolutely love it … the customers I’ve had in the last three or four months have made my day.

“They thank me, they get me back, they are all regulars.

“I really like it … and I’m excited about what I can do next.

“I’ve only been going for a short time, but I’m so confident about what I can do now. Everything I’ve done has been perfect.”

Brian Meyers from Ole Skool Mowing & Gardening (centre) with Kelly Priest from VERTO (left) and Deanne Wade from APM (right) who have helped him establish a successful business.

In 2024, Brian Meyers, a lifelong labourer from Orange, NSW, turned his dream of starting a business into reality with the support from VERTO’s Workforce Australia program and the APM’s Self-Employment Assistance, a story published on the VERTO website reads.

“It’s all about appreciation and the respect you get off your customers,” he said.

“With years of hands-on experience and a strong work ethic, Brian always aspired to be his own boss but didn’t believe he had the ability or resources to make it happen,” the story continues.

“Brian’s Workforce Australia case manager connected him with APM’s Self-Employment Assistance program, where he sat down with Deanne Wade where they discussed his business idea, ‘Ole Skool Mowing & Gardening’, followed by together creating a business plan and financial forecast to establish his business with a strong plan, focusing on planning to succeed.

Business is going so well he is about to hire someone.

He is hopeful of working with aged care clients in the future.

“I absolutely enjoy it … I don’t think about the hard work part.

I think about the finish and how I will feel when a customer tells me I’ve done a good job,” Brian said.

TALES FROM MY MOTHER’S KITCHEN with EMILY THOMPSON

M

y mother’s kitchen had yellow benchtops, orange tiles, and pine cabinetry. The curtains were lace, the saucepans copper and it smelled like her

endless cups of tea, apricot chicken and the most delectable sweet baked goods.

I spent my childhood baking with her; as a toddler, she’d sit me on the bench and smile with the incredible patience that only primary school teachers like her possess, as I cracked eggshells into her chocolate cake. As I grew, so did my cooking skills. Although I have quite a reputation for being a bit of a disaster in the kitchen now, I have to assure you this isn’t entirely true. Given

a clear mind, no distractions and her incredible instructions I can easily recreate her simple but wonderful 1980s treats.

Those instructions came in the form of her bright orange (to match the kitchen tiles obviously) recipe box and, sitting on her lap while thumbing through it searching for something fun to cook together, was my favourite thing to do.

After she passed away, I was lucky enough to hold onto that box, and found it filled with not only her recipes, but my grandmother’s, my aunts’, and all of her friends’. Each time she’d have cake at their house she’d ask them to write down the recipe for her, and they were filed away, to become a part of our written story of her kitchen adventures.

She’d cut out exotic sounding chicken recipes from her Women’s Weekly magazine and she had been known to steal pages from doctor’s surgeries waiting rooms. And now, that box of kitchen heirlooms is mine.

And so welcome to my new column, where I will share old-fashioned recipes that are easy to make and taste like your childhood. First up is Mars Bar slice, my mum’s favourite “bring a plate” dish for school events and Sunday school. This is actually a terrible recipe to start with because I don’t follow her recipe – only two Mars bars is insane, Mum! But I use her trick of honey and brown sugar, which gives it a floral caramel taste that is unique and amazing. Trust me!

Mum’s Mars bar slice Ingredients: Slice: 110g butter 5 Mars bars 2 tablespoons honey 55g brown sugar 4 cups rice bubbles

Topping: 180g milk chocolate 1 tablespoon canola oil 2 Mars bars sliced thinly Method: • Melt butter, honey, Mars bars, and brown sugar together.

• Mix in Rice Bubbles • Press into slice tin that’s lined with baking paper • Set in fridge for an hour • Melt milk chocolate and oil together, pour on top of slice.

• Place pieces of Mars bar on top • Set in fridge for an hour, slice into pieces with a warm knife

Orange Bush Nippers is back for 2025!

With a last-minute move to the pool after Lake Canobolas was declared not safe for swimming due to algae, we commenced grading our age groups from 3 to 18-year-olds, with each group reaching important training milestones, in particular for our youngest nippers, the Nemos and Seahorses – that means lots of practice floating.

Other key areas we look at are entry and exit from a body of water as well as treading water, ‘flagging’ for attention in an emergency and never swimming alone!

These skills, when learnt at a young age, can put our littlest kiddos in the best possible position for swim success and safety.

All groups spent the weekend visiting our sister club in Dee Why for some surf sessions.

We always look forward to the weekend adventures at Dee Why as swimming in the surf is a big change of pace for our group!

As always, swim to the conditions and Slip Slop Slap!

The Nashdale P&C Committee’s family cricket game took an unexpected turn on Saturday when a sudden downpour drenched participants, leading to a swift relocation to the local hall. Despite the weather’s curveball, the community’s spirit remained unbowed, turning a soggy setback into a memorable indoor gathering. As they say, when life gives you rain, move the game!

It sees students from small schools throughout the region coming together for various sporting and cultural activities during the year. This allows children from smaller schools to develop relationships and network so that when they attend high school, they already know a large number of fellow students, far more than just in their school or area. The relationships are developed early, and whether they are on the field, in the pool or on the stage together they are experiencing the same socialisation and competitiveness that larger schools provide, in a truly unique rural setting.

Several of these small schools are geared towards success in these events, with swimming programs during the week to ensure the children have the best chance possible of succeeding. Spring Hill public students swim each Friday afternoon, and have been training hard to represent their school with pride.

“The goal is to be able to represent their school at the swimming carnival” says Principal Ann-Marie McAnaulty.

The camaraderie is something that is nurtured in

— words and photos by EMILY THOMPSON — our small schools and every single child wants to represent their school and do it well.

It’s not only a competitive sporting event but a very social event. It’s a great opportunity to catch up- not only for the students but also for the teachers, SLSOs and teaching principals. Staff love getting to see each other, networking and catching up with our fellow educators!

And it’s due to the hard work of the teaching staff, the support staff and the parent volunteers that these schools are able to come together and make this magic happen- it’s a whole community event.

The other thing these schools do really well?

Inclusivity! Children with disabilities thrive in this environment, with these para-athletes smashing their events. Last year Spring Hill Public had four paraathlete children compete at the state level.

The OSSA swimming, athletics and cross country are stepping stones, every child, no matter the size of their school should be able to say “I’m going to keep swimming, keep running, or keep doing what I’m good at”. This is the path they can take to represent at state, and hopefully one day at the Olympics. They dream big at small schools!

CROSS

purposes BIG DECISIONS WITH JOHN PERRETT

When making important decisions it is best to think as long term as possible in order to make the best choice. A good way to measure the importance of any decision is to ask yourself how long the consequences of that decision will last. Deciding what movie to watch is very minor. An hour or two later it won’t have any lasting consequence for your life. Buying a car, that might have a lasting influence of 5 to 10 years. Buying a house, that decision could echo for decades.

Unfortunately deciding the truth about Jesus is a decision that many people put off, saving what seems like a complex topic for another day. Worse still we may never want to think about it. I am convinced that deciding the truth about Jesus is the single biggest thing anyone can consider in their whole life. The action you take could completely change your life and the consequences WILL last into eternity.

Do everything you can to find the truth! Your decision about Jesus is too important to get wrong!

THUMBS

EMAIL: reception@oclife.com.au | 6361 3575 THUMBS UP to Dr Zorba and his assistant at Joanne Lee Dental Surgery who treated an elderly patient with patience and empathy throughout his procedure. A thumbs up also to the receptionist who was also very helpful and understanding of his needs when booking the appointment.

THUMBS UP to the Orange Ex-Services Club for having Neil Gill play on Tuesday morning. The residents that came from Ascott Gardens really enjoyed and appreciated it. Neil, your selection of songs and the way you sang and played was terrific. Thanks.

THUMBS DOWN to the Thumbs Down referring to council’s bulk waste pick up.

Not everyone has access to a car let alone a car and trailer to transport unwanted items to a drop-off point at the recycling centre on a particular day or week, and it can prove costly to have items transported there by other means. Many people appreciate the annual waste pick up. Orange may look disgusting at the moment but it will be back to normal in a couple of weeks.

THUMBS DOWN to the woman tailgating drivers on Anson Street in front of the courthouse, who then proceeded to road rage drivers.

THUMBS DOWN to the few drivers who don’t know what the white line is for at school crossing, and drive over it and don’t wait behind the line until the kids are off the crossing.

THUMBS UP to Paul and Emily at Beaumont Tiles for exceptional customer service and being so friendly and helpful.

THUMBS UP and thank

you to Jennifer who is often on the check-out at Coles supermarket. She always greets me with a smile and asks how I am. Nothing is too much trouble for her.

THUMBS DOWN Is council liable when I’m hit by a car while walking on McLachlan Street?

Because the footpath between Byng and March streets has deteriorated to the extent that a mountain goat would not feel sure-footed.

THUMBS UP and huge thanks to Justin and Reece of Kennards Hire for delivering prompt service at late notice to supply required equipment for a renovation. They were so great to deal with. Job well done.

THUMBS UP to the wonderful volunteers at the café at the hospital, who work tirelessly to give back to their community.

THUMBS DOWN to the

people who let their dogs off leash at Wentworth Golf Club.

The signs clearly say it’s dogs on leads only. It’s a privilege to walk dogs on such a beautiful course.

The rule is there for a reason – please respect it.

THUMBS UP to Tennessee

Tucker for their delicious and well-priced Valentine’s Day dinner. The food was excellent and the service outstanding
