T

he United Nations International Women’s Year in 1975 saw the start of significant change in the lives of women throughout the world.

Half a century on, Helen Haynes and Marlene Farrell OAM reflect on the legacy of that year in Orange, the gains made in the fight for gender equality and how much is still to be done.

The United Nations had designated 1975 as International Women’s Year and in support, the Australian Government under Gough Whitlam had appointed Elizabeth Reid to distribute some $3 million in funding to events and projects to appropriately mark the year.

On March 4, 1975, representatives of more than a dozen Orange-based women’s groups, organisations and other individuals attended a meeting called by Orange Mayor Ronald Thomas to discuss the objectives and needs of local women.

“We were overwhelmed, weren’t we?

We just weren’t expecting it. The hall was full,” recalls Marlene Farrell OAM, of the meeting held in the Holy Trinity Church Hall that evening.

“It was the atmosphere,” adds Helen Haynes. “Everyone was excited. There was a real buzz, to put it colloquially, people thought something was going to happen.

People were inspired, you could feel it.”

This optimism, Marlene said, was fuelled by the many changes that had been brought in by the Whitlam Government in 1974, especially extending the adult minimum wage to include women workers for the first time.

“It was equal pay for equal work,” says Marlene. “We had an orchard, and the thing that bugged me was that the women, our pickers and packers only got a percentage of the male wage and every

Women’s Liaison and Action Group and pursued all these issues that have come up until 1979. By then we felt that the women’s movement had grown enough and women had enough confidence and had found their voice and they didn’t need us anymore.”

Although the group disbanded, Marlene and Helen continued their advocacy for women, both going into local government along with serving on various other committees over the years.

Looking back ahead of the 50 year anniversary, Helen admits she did feel somewhat disheartened to realise women are still impacted by so many of the same issues as in 1975

International Women’s Year – 50 years on

“There’s still the same problems, the same issues — domestic violence, housing shortages, still child care needs, there’s not always equal opportunity in employment,” Helen says.

time you wanted to put it up, the world would fall in.

“There is still a glass ceiling, it’s a bit lower, but it’s still there,” adds Marlene, who says it can be easy to overlook what has improved over the past five decades.

“And then [Whitlam] legislated for a single parents pension, but only for women. He provided funding for health services, for women’s crisis centres… he removed the restrictions on the oral contraception pill, which gave women a lot of freedom and there was free education, again a big thing for women.

“The things he did sort of encouraged us in International Women’s Year here… lots of women today really don’t know how much better off they are compared to 1975.”

Out of that initial meeting at the Holy Trinity Church Hall a committee was formed to pursue a number of projects, including the need for better child care, establishing a women’s and children’s shelter and the appointment of a female police officer.

“There was no child care at all available in Orange in 1975,” says Marlene, adding that the establishment of an occasional childcare centre was one of the big wins for Orange to come out of International Women’s Year.

“It only came about because the Methodist Church provided us with their hall in Anson Street, and the two Lions clubs did all the renovations, they were very generous,” she says. “And believe it or not, it was staffed by volunteers! That grew and then Council gave us premises in Kite Street, which is still there… So that’s still going 50 years later.”

By the end of 1975, Helen and Marlene say they all realised that the work of the International Women’s Year committee was far from done.

“We’d sort of opened a Pandora’s box and you couldn’t put the lid back on,” says Marlene. “So then we formed the

“There is more equal opportunity – it’s not there yet — but women certainly have a lot more opportunity for education and employment opportunities for women have exploded,” she says.

“I’m so happy when you see a woman astronaut, or you see the governor of the reserve bank is a woman. All the women now in the medical professions and legal professions, and all the trades; who would have thought you would have women carpenters, electricians and plumbers… so many doors have been opened for women.

“And I think the big thing with the kids now growing up is they accept equality much more.”

“Perhaps,” says Helen, “we should be a little more optimistic.”

A Day in the LiFE OF...

7:00 am (roughly)- I get up with my tiny humans.

I spend about 90 minutes doing the mum prep- breakfast, lunches, bags, uniforms, teeth and hair, but there’s actually been no yelling in the mornings since we took technology off the kids. We have happier, calmer little people and everyone’s doing better.

8:30 am- Everyone gets out the door and I drop the the kids off at school and transition.

9:00 am- I get back into town. I try and start each morning with a coffee, and some form of mind-clearing exercise, which is a fairly new routine for me. So, whether it’s going to the gym and walking on the treadmill or a stroll around Duntryleague with a friend. It keeps my mental health in check and it just helps, so I try not to skip any days.

10:00 am- Honestly, at this point I’ll try and grab another coffee before I start work. At the moment I’m loving Academy Coffee or The Agrestic Grocer, and both are nice and close.

Coffee is another fairly new habit for me, but with two kids and a job where I work late, it’s become necessary.

WHAT’S ON

AT THE VIC...

POKER

10:15 am- For the last few years I’ve been teaching guitar in schools, and it was an incredibly fun privilege. However, this year I’m focusing more on my songwriting and performing, and so I’ve cut back on teaching. But I still get to volunteer at my children’s school! So other parents might go in for reading or cooking lessons, but I get to go in and do music with them which is a whole load of fun.

11:30 am- I start my morning work. This can involve a quick check/update of social media, because I love engaging with the people who love my music and support me. It’s a great way to keep everyone up to date with performances and also, it’s important to try and stay on

people’s radars while I battle this week’s new algorithm.

Another important aspect of my day is songwriting. There are so many incredibly talented musos out there, but the difference between making a career out of it and doing it as a side hobby is creating new, original music and just putting in the hours needed to make sure it’s great.

During the day I’ll pop in and out of household chores as well, with two young children there’s always washing to do and a house to maintain.

Unlike most creatives who thrive in chaos, I work better in a calm organised environment so I try to stay on top of it!

3:00 pm- It’s the crazy afternoon school pick up, and I’ll often stay for a while as the kids play and I get to chat with the other parents. It’s nice to have an amazing school community like ours and I love being connected to the other families.

4:30 pm- Time for a soundcheck for tonight’s performance! I fiddle with a few things, but walk away feeling ready and full of anticipation for a great night. I’ll also try and eat at some point- it can be hard keeping a healthy schedule when you’re busy performing.

7:30 pm- Arrive at the venue, try and stay hydrated, and warm up my vocal cords!

8:30pm- It’s time to hit the stage. I’m in my element, and I feel alive when I sing. I’m so grateful to live in this incredible community where I’m lucky to have not only a great fan base, but just so many people who enjoy the live music scene and will come out to hear me play.

11:30 pm- Pack up, try and come down from the most incredible performance high and head home to sleep, ready to do it all over again tomorrow!

Clifton Grove Ophir RFS Clean Up Australia Day — BY EMILY THOMPSON — On Sunday 23rd of February the dedicated volunteers of the Clifton Grove/Ophir RFS gathered together to clean up their local area.

Armed with bags, gloves and community spirit they removed excess rubbish from Banjo Patterson Park, the Ophir picnic area and the fire shed.

It was a successful day, with 6 trailer/Ute loads of rubbish collected over the morning.

Among the clean up were items such as old chairs, car tyres and a large amount of old wire and steel as well as over 20 bags of general rubbish.

This community centric branch of the RFS participates in Clean Up Australia Day annually, as cleaning up the area not only assists in fire prevention, but acts as a tremendously useful community service. It also helps provide visibility to the local community; event organiser John Eyles explains.

The brigade has 30 members, out of 80 homesteads within the area, which is a fantastic effort. Training is held on the last Sunday of each month at the shed located at The Billabong, and new members are always welcome. You can contact them via their Facebook page.

Orange’s Caitlin Mackenzie among first King’s Scouts in 73 years

range’s Caitlin Mackenzie has made scouting history, being among the state’s first 21 King’s Scouts in more than

seven decades.

Caitlin was presented with the prestigious award by Her Excellency the Honourable Margaret Beazley AC KC, Governor of New South Wales and Chief Scout of NSW at a recent ceremony at Government House in Sydney.

Formerly the Queen’s Scout Award, the honour was renamed in September after His Majesty, King Charles III, confirmed his Patronage of the Scout Association of Australia.

The King’s Scout Award is the peak award for Venturer Scouts. To achieve it, a Venturer Scout must complete achievements across a broad range of disciplines, including Outdoor Adventure Skills (such as camping, hiking, paddling or abseiling), Special Interest

Area projects (such as environment, STEM, arts and literature, community), leadership courses, as well as plan a significant, multi-day Adventurous Journey.

were also shocked about the amount of rubbish in the river – one of the items we found was an inflatable turtle, which we adopted as our mascot for the remainder of the journey,” Caitlin said.

For 18-year-old Caitlin, from 3rd Orange Scout Group, this involved completing a four-day canoe trip from Wellington to Dubbo.

“We collected as much rubbish as possible and put it in the bins at our overnight stops.”

“I chose to do a canoe trip because I had done a hike for my Grey Wolf Award (Cub Scout peak award) and a bike journey for my Australian Scout Award (Scout peak award), and I wanted to do something different and challenging,” she said.

Joining Caitlin on her canoe adventure were Claire, Jasmine, Georgia, Flynn, Balian and Kaleb from the 3rd Orange Scout Group and Seb from the 2nd Orange Scout Group.

“We were all surprised at how physically challenging it was, but also how boring it could be at times. We

From Wellington, the team camped the first night at Ponto Falls, the second just downstream from Brilbral Reserve, and the third at Butlers Falls before finishing in Dubbo.

“We had some memorable stops, including afternoon tea at a slide someone had put on the riverbank, and several rope swings throughout the second and third days,” Caitlin said.

The King’s Scout Award is a significant achievement for a young person within Scouting, often taking three to four years to complete, Scouts NSW Deputy Chief Commissioner Niamh Hitchman said.

Designed to be challenging and

encouraging, the award broadens the interests and knowledge of participating Venturer Scouts in leadership, resilience, goal setting and planning.

“For our Scouts, a peak award is representative of so much more than just earning a uniform badge and a special certificate – they are a reflection of countless hours of personal development and contributions to the community,” Ms Hitchman said.

“It’s incredible to watch these teenagers challenge themselves beyond stereotypical limitations. They are hiking unaccompanied by adults in our national parks, stepping up into major leadership roles, learning how to conduct in-depth risk assessments – the list of their achievements is endless!

“My sincere congratulations to the recipients on their awards, and my thanks to those families, friends and Scouting members, who helped support them along the way.”

Our goal is to provide quality Australian builds on time and on budget...

I, like everybody else, developed some strange hobbies during COVID. One of my amazing friends still bakes sourdough, another one became obsessed with indoor plants and now her loungeroom looks like Thomson’s Garden Centre. My husband and I became beekeepers.

There is something so incredible about watching bees create honeycomb and fill it with honey, and our hive have a very symbiotic relationship with our fruit trees and veggie patch. The only question is of course, what to do with all that honey? For me there was only ever one use for it.

Because there’s absolutely nothing like the smell of freshly baked honey jumbles wafting through the house. They almost smell like gingerbread, but with a softer spice. I remember years of coming home after school to a tray of these beautiful biscuits, half iced with glossy white, the other half in the softest baby pink.

This is still my favourite colour and is a direct result of these afternoons!

This recipe is different to any I’ve ever found online, and that’s the whole point of passing down recipes to the next generation- these aren’t googled and untested AI garbage, these have been baked over and over again so the recipe itself is trustworthy and delightful.

My ability to bake these came in handy when Arnott’s discontinued theirs a few years ago, as they were my husband’s absolute favourite. Now, whenever I turn up with a box of these, most people gasp and dive straight into nostalgia.

Even my mother-in-law begrudgingly admits they are divine!

These are pretty easy to make, but there’s a couple of tricks to perfect honey jumbles. Adjust the milk amount in the dough to make it a firm dough- you don’t want it too runny! And chill the dough until it’s cold and firm, so it rolls out properly. The last tip is don’t overbeat the egg whites- you’re making royal icing, not meringue.

10 ORANGE CITY LIFE | MARCH 6 — 12, 2025

ICING 1 large egg white 1 to 1 1/2 cups icing sugar 1 tsp fresh lemon juice Red food colouring METHOD:

1) preheat oven to 160° C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper 2) melt butter, honey and treacle together, allow to cool for 5 minutes 3) sift together flour, bicarb, ginger, cinnamon and nutmeg, pour in butter/ honey mixture.

4) mix gently, add milk. Stir until it forms a tacky dough.

5) place into a plastic bag, place into refrigerator to cool for an hour to firm up.

6) roll sections of cooled dough into 1.5 cm thick logs, cut into 7cm lengths.

Place lengths onto baking tray, flatten slightly and round the edges into an oval shape.

7) bake in oven for 9 mins, allow to cool completely on trays.

Icing: 1) mix egg whites until frothy and white 2) slowly sift in icing sugar, and lemon juice until smooth, shiny and slightly runny 3) dip half the biscuits in the icing, then add 2 drops of red food colouring to the remaining icing and mix to a soft pink. Dip the remaining biscuits in.

Set aside to set for an hour.

‘The Human Form In Motion’: 2025 Orange Art Society Prize challenging people to step outside their comfort zone

T

he Orange Art Society Society has added a twist to its annual figurative art competition, encouraging artists to step out of their comfort zones.

The Orange Art Society Prize competition offers a $1,000 first prize for works of figurative art. Work can be in any medium, but the rules of the prize dictate that it must be a depiction of the human form.

But this year’s competition has an added twist with

the 2025 theme being “Movement”.

The idea is to encourage artists to move away from static portraits, which they may be more comfortable with, says Orange Art Society president David Mason.

“In previous years, people were doing portraits that were actually figurative, but it wasn’t really what we were after,” David said.

“This is a way of inspiring people to try something different. It can be abstract or quite realistic and in any medium, it doesn’t matter really.”

The 2025 Orange Art Society Prize offers a $1,000 first prize and $500 second prize. Judging will be done

by Sarah Randall of the Orange Regional Gallery.

Entries are due at the Orange Art Society, 22 Sale Street, between March 24–28 2025.

The exhibition will be open for visitors from March 31 to April 25, with the official opening and presentation taking place on Sunday, April 6.

L Kirsty Evans

ocal lawyer Kirsty Evans, who led efforts to provide pro bono legal advice to the Molong community in the wake of the devastating floods of 2022, has been named a finalist at the NSW Women of the Year Awards.

named finalist for NSW Regional Woman of the Year

Kirsty, who is a director of the law firm Cheney Suthers, is finalist in the NSW Regional Woman of the Year category. She is being recognised for her phenomenal effort and advocacy following the terrible flooding in Molong in November 2022.

Kirsty dedicated over 250 hours helping 12 business owners, delivering over $100,000 in legal services pro bono.

Her advocacy resulted in claims that were originally denied by insurers being overturned, with insurers partially accepting liability. Through her leadership,

approximately $1 million has been returned to the community.

In 2024, Kirsty presented evidence at the Parliamentary Inquiry into insurers’ responses to 2022 major flood claims, exposing systemic failures and advocating for better practices. The inquiry adopted several of Kirsty’s findings in its recommendations.

The Women of the Year Awards ceremony is the centrepiece event of NSW Women’s Week 2025, a week-long celebration from March 2–8. The Awards are the NSW Government’s way of shining the light on the incredible talent and extraordinary women and girls from across our state.

Kirsty is one of thirty finalists for this year’s awards from over 500 nominations.

The winners will be revealed at an award ceremony at the International Convention Centre in Sydney today (Thursday, March 6).

This is politics done differently.

No party ties, no party lines.

Just community-led consultation, participation and solutions. Unlike the major parties, my approach is to do things with the community—not to them.

I believe politics should work for people, not parties.

for all women and girls EmpowerHer: A Celebration of Strength and Style for International Women’s Day Orange, NSW – February 2025In celebration of International Women’s Day, Orange CultureHub will host EmpowerHer, a two-part event designed to inspire, educate, and uplift women. Taking place on March 1 and March 8, this dynamic initiative will feature empowering workshops and a stunning fashion show, blending education, confidence, and style in a powerful tribute to women everywhere.

MARCH 1: TRAINING & SEMINAR DAY

Nashdale CWA celebrates International Women’s Day with a Focus on Women’s Health — BY EMILY THOMPSON — In celebration of International Women’s Day, the Nashdale Country Women’s Association (CWA) is again hosting a free event dedicated to empowering locals with knowledge about their health. This year’s theme, Accelerate Action for Gender Equality, will set the stage for an evening of insightful discussions led by local specialists, shining a light on two critical aspects of women’s wellbeing: skin health and menopause.

Attendees will hear from two local doctors who will share their valuable insights into key health topics.

The Skin: Our Largest Organ – Presented by Dr Michelle McRae Dermatologist Dr Michelle McRae will delve into the importance of skincare, the natural aging process, and the impact of ‘dermatoporosis’—a condition that leads to chronic skin fragility. She will discuss how skin health extends beyond aesthetics, plays a crucial role in immune defence, temperature regulation, and overall well-being.

Menopause Uncovered: Navigating Change with Confidence – Presented

by Dr Gabrielle Staniforth Dr Gabrielle Staniforth will provide guidance on understanding

and managing menopause. From hormonal changes to symptoms and long-term health effects, such as bone and heart health, her talk will offer practical advice on maintaining strength and vitality through midlife and beyond.

A Night of Learning, Connection, and Community The event will take place at Nashdale Hall, where guests can enjoy a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The Nashdale Sports and Social Club will have the bar open from 6:30 pm, allowing attendees to enjoy a drink while learning about their health. Light refreshments will also be available.

A raffle featuring locally sourced goodies will be held to raise funds for the CWA. Tickets are $5 each, and you can pay via cash or card.

Proceeds will support continuing community initiatives by the CWA. This event is open to women and men, and the Nashdale CWA warmly invites the community to join in this celebration of women’s health and empowerment. You can confirm attendance by RSVPing via their Facebook event, or simply turn up on the night.

14 ORANGE CITY LIFE | MARCH 6 — 12, 2025

The first part of EmpowerHer will bring together guest speakers, industry professionals, and local businesswomen in make-up, fashion and the arts for a series of empowering workshops. Attendees will engage in sessions focused on personal growth, self-esteem development, and strategies for managing stress, anxiety, and depression. This immersive training day will provide women with valuable tools to build resilience and thrive in their personal and professional lives.

MARCH 8: EMPOWERHER FASHION SHOW The event will culminate in a captivating fashion show that goes beyond the runway.

Models will showcase the confidence-building techniques they have developed during their training, demonstrating self-assurance and empowerment in every step.

THE EVENING WILL ALSO FEATURE TWO DISTINGUISHED GUEST SPEAKERS: Marie Woods, Director of Community Services, Community Plus, who will discuss key issues in women’s health and safety.

Dr. Christine Purcell, Psychiatry Registrar at Dudley Hospital, offering insights into mental health and well-being.

“International Women’s Day is about recognizing the strength, achievements, and potential of women. With this event, we aim to inspire, educate, and uplift women while celebrating their unique voices and contributions,” said Lioba Besgrove, President of Orange CultureHub. JOIN US The March 8 event is open to the public.

Join us in celebrating the resilience, ambition, and beauty of women through knowledge, empowerment, and fashion starting at 6.30 to 9.30pm at The Function Centre, Orange NSW.

for all women and girls Alex Pilcher from The White Place celebrates International Women’s Day How long have you been in business/profession?

Our store, The White Place, was established in 2009 by my mother Fran. I moved back to Orange from Sydney and took it over in 2015. We also have boutique accommodation on Byng St.

Could you name a woman who’s inspired you the most?

This changes frequently as I’m surrounded by inspirational women in my professional and personal life but right now the one that currently inspires me would be my Nan who recently turned 90. She is fiercely independent and still runs our footy tipping competition across 2 football codes and 15 people.

What’s the best work-related advice you’ve ever received?

This changes all the time, but the one that

I think about the most at the moment is… “your brand is what people say about you when you’re not in the room” With where I am in my business this is really important to me.

What energises you about work?

Our customer base energises me, they are incredibly loyal and supportive and are widespread. Many of our customers have become beautiful friends of myself and my family. Our customers are why I love what I do and why I get up in the morning - actually that and because I have 2 small kids to feed!!!

What is your biggest indulgence at home?

Fresh Fodder hummous… I love it and ALWAYS have a 500ml jar in my fridge. I’ve tried so many different brands but FF is by far the absolute best.

The White Place ... is Orange’s premier boutique shopping

destination for fashion, interior and lifestyle Be inspired by their curated range of products across fashion, interiors and lifestyle.

The White Place also offers luxe accommodation for families and groups with their Byng Street house which is tastefully decorated in the signature White Place style.

Women’s social cricket comp a hit in Orange, hopes for future intertown competition Women’s cricket is on the rise in Orange, and with the second summer social competition approaching an end, there’s hopes for even bigger things in the 2025/26 season.

Orange’s women’s social cricket competition got off to an enthusiastic start at the end of 2023 with eight teams signing up for the Friday afternoon, eight-a-side competition.

Due to the overwhelming demand, the competition was reinstated in January 2024 and this summer there have been 13 teams taking to the cricket field on Friday afternoons.

“It’s great, it’s very much a social competition,” Orange CYMS Green Captain Jo Ferguson said at Max Stewart Oval on Friday afternoon.

“It’s giving people an opportunity to come out and spend some time on themselves and have some fun with friends and teammates and enjoy the sport.”

Alongside the social competition, this summer has seen a three-game T20 hard-ball series played between Orange City and Orange CYMS. CYMS claimed victory this year, but there is a push to grow the hard-ball game next summer and plans to hold 40-over matches.

“The T20 competition has really stepped it up a gear as well,” Jo said. “And since the social competition has started, we have quite a few females in the men’s league as well, in the mixed competition.

“Hopefully we’ll see a rep team as well. I think the talent’s there. So let’s go for it!”

Orange District Cricket Association (ODCA) president Mark Frecklington said the growing interest in women’s cricket is a great step forward for the sport in Orange.

“It’s fantastic,” he said. “It’s good for women to have that opportunity and now we hope to work on making it bigger…“ We’re keen to keep it going.”

And Frecklington said there is no better time to be pushing the women’s game locally with Australian opener, Orange’s own Phoebe Litchfield performing well in the national side.

“It certainly doesn’t hurt. It’s a great time to be trying to get women’s cricket going in Orange with Phoebe going and doing what she is doing,” Frecklington said.

Orange CYMS Green played against clubmates CYMS Red in Round 10 of the women’s Friday social cricket competition.

“I’m sure it’s inspiring some of the young girls and young boys … it’s put women’s cricket back on the radar in Orange.”

The women’s competition is due to wrap up in a couple of weeks, but there is hope that it will continue to grow in Orange and its success might inspire neighbouring towns to follow suit.

“We’d like to add more teams next summer,” Jo said.

“But one thing we’d like to see is other towns like Dubbo and Bathurst to get a league going, so we can play some inter-town games with them as well.”

KEEP WATCH:

Parents reminded to stay alert and supervise children at the pool Lifeguards at the Orange Aquatic Centre are increasingly having to help children struggling in the water, as parents are distracted sitting on the sidelines.

Orange Aquatic Centre Pool Manager, Rachael Stevens, says lifeguards have to remind parents to keep an eye on their kids every day.

"Some parents are fantastic.

They're actively engaged. They're in the water with their little ones, playing with them and helping them learn," Ms Stevens said.

"But we're also seeing a lot of disengagement from some parents, where they're sitting

s Dad Keiran Duncan having a play in the water with Sophia (2) and Isabella (5).

on the side and they might be distracted by their phone or their conversation, or they're wandering away to a different part of the centre and leaving their child unsupervised."

"No lifeguard knows your child as well as you do and understands the way they normally interact with the world. So you're going to see any problems first," Ms Stevens said.

This lack of active supervision is a major safety concern, as young children can quickly get into trouble in the water.

Sport and Recreation Committee Chair Cr Tammy Greenhalgh said making sure children have a positive experience at the pool is crucial.

"So those little ones, we really need parents within arm's reach and always actively engaged."

For older children, the recommendation is still for parents to be "actively engaged" - maintaining eye contact and staying within speaking distance.

“The memories kids make at the local pool will often stay with them for life. We want to make sure that every encounter with the water is a happy and safe one. Parents have an undeniable role to play in making sure that

happens.”

While the Orange Aquatic Centre has more than the recommended lifeguard-to-swimmer ratios, they are still meant to be a last resort and are there to offer emergency medical assistance.

Cr Greenhalgh said hopping in the water together is the best option.

"Bring your swimmers, jump in the water, have some fun. It's great for the children. It's great for you. It's great for your bond," Cr Greenhalgh said.

Council tackles high number of stray cats with desexing initiative Cat owners with concession cards will be able to access low-cost desexing for their furry friends courtesy of a council-subsidised service.

Orange City Council is running its annual desexing program in a bid to target growing numbers of stray cats and unwanted kittens in Orange.

The program offers desexing for $68, which also includes microchipping and lifetime registration.

Sustainability Committee Chair Cr David Mallard said cat owners should have their pet desexed.

“Cats can start to breed from as young as four months old, and if cats are allowed to roam free at night, an unwanted litter of kittens is very likely,” Cr Mallard said.

“The tragedy of dealing with these unwanted kittens is left to our pound, the RSPCA or a voluntary cat rescue agency. It’s not fair that these groups are left to pick up the pieces to deal with a problem that could

be prevented in the first place.

“Taking up this opportunity is as simple as bringing your concession card into the Customer Service counter at the Council office to make a booking. The desexing and microchipping will be done by professional staff at the Canobolas Vet Clinic.”

Bookings have opened and there is a limit on one booking per household.

The desexing program is funded by Orange City Council and is an activity of the Companion Animals Community Committee.

Orange East Public School’s Eco Warriors Lead the Way in Sustainability

T

— BY EMILY THOMPSON —

wo years ago, Orange East Public School took a significant step towards environmental stewardship by launching the Eco Warrior program. This dedicated team of students and staff works tirelessly throughout the year to raise awareness about sustainability and encourage environmentally friendly practices within the school and the wider community.

Upon its establishment, the Eco Warrior team conducted audits across the school and quickly identified the need to reinstate vital waste reduction initiatives.

As a result, the school successfully reintroduced composting, recycling, and their participation in the Return and Earn program. Every classroom, office area, kitchen, and the school canteen now

have designated composting buckets, Return and Earn collection bins, and areas for paper and cardboard recycling.

The impact of these initiatives has been profound. Organic waste collected in composting buckets is transferred to large compost bins in the school’s garden, breaking down into nutrient-rich soil that helps grow fresh fruits, herbs, and vegetables. These homegrown ingredients are then used in cooking classes, reinforcing the value of sustainable food practices.

Additionally, the school’s participation in the Return and Earn program has yielded financial benefits. Last year, the initiative generated over $100, which was used to purchase six apple slinky machines for K-2 students. This not only supports sustainability but also promotes healthy eating habits.

Beyond waste management, the Eco Warrior program extends to maintaining a thriving school garden.

Students cultivate flowers to support pollination, as well as a variety of fruits and vegetables used in cooking classes and the school’s breakfast program. The breakfast program, which runs every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday morning, is free for all students and provides nutritious meals to start the day right.

The gardening initiative has received generous community support. A recent donation from Bunnings Orange provided a gift voucher to help fund winter plants for the children to grow, while Nile St Café continues to offer support by bringing the children into the kitchen to try their hand at cooking, and then enjoying yummy milkshakes as a

participation reward.

Teacher Irene Iskric, a passionate advocate for the Eco Warrior program and the kitchen garden initiative, emphasises the importance of educating young minds about sustainability. “It’s wonderful to see the children learn about where their food comes from, how to make healthy choices, and feel a sense of pride from what they harvest and make,” she says. “If you want to change the world, teach your children how to garden.”

With the continued success of the Eco Warrior program, Orange East Public School stands as a shining example of how schools can integrate sustainability into education, fostering a generation that values and actively contributes to environmental conservation.

Orange Chamber Music Festival

presents Cultured this Saturday

T

he 2025 Orange Chamber Music Festival (March 6–9) gets underway today with a diverse program of events to delight music lovers.

A key feature of the Festival is the community event, Cultured, a full day of music in the cultural precinct on Saturday, March 8, which will be followed by a very special Festival Gala celebrating International Women’s Day. Now in its fourth year, Cultured is all about taking classical music out of the concert hall and making it more accessible to people with more informal performances in locations throughout the cultural precinct.

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.”

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.

This experience is recommended for children, young families, seniors and neurodivergent people.

“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,” Orange Chamber Music Festival producer, Jay Byrne, said.

Cultured continues at 11am with the newly established Cultured Youth Orchestra and the Wula Gurray Children’s Choir performing a program titled ‘Australiana’ at the Orange Civic Theatre, a celebration of Australian themes by Australian living composers.

“We know that classical music has a little bit of a stigma about it, and we’re trying to break that barrier… And the exciting thing for

At 2pm, the final event sees alumni of the acclaimed Australian Chamber Orchestra present a specially curated performance in the Anne

Thomson survey exhibition at Orange Regional Gallery (North Gallery).

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

Opus.Her, curated by Festival Director Carmen Nieves, 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, the flagship community event of the festival on Saturday, March 8, is completely free.

A word from the artist: I have been drawing since I was 6 and attended art classes in the Netherlands. I completed my carpenters certificate at technical college and completed 2 years education at a specialised college in store display and marketing. After arriving in Australia in 1973 I worked in the display department at Myers in various locations. I am part of a local drawing group. We meet monthly and draw at different locations in the area. I’m also a member of Colour City Creatives. My style has changed over the years as I have experimented with various mediums. I have included some of my earlier work in this exhibition for interest. My older works are largely pencil and watercolour, now i Favour pastel, pencil and oil paint. People and portraits have always been a favourite subject of mine..

Rainbow Festival Comedy Night:

Rhys Nicholson and Kirsty Webeck bring the laughs to Orange Function Centre, March 21

ulti-award-winning stand-up Rhys Nicholson and festival-favourite Kirsty Webeck are bringing the laughs to the 2025 Rainbow Festival with a huge night of top-tier comedy at the Orange Function Centre on Friday, March 21.

Joining Rhys in Orange is Kirsty Webeck, well-known for her upbeat and relatable comedy often described as playful, light-hearted, and fun. A gifted storyteller, Kirsty has a natural ability for turning the mundane into the hilarious and has quickly become one of the most popular Australian comedians in the industry.

Rhys Nicholson is a stand-up, writer, and actor, with an enormous passion for live performing. Their work continues to receive awards and accolades around the world, with televised stand-up performances in Australia, the UK, and Canada. Alongside a booming standup career, Rhys has also become a favourite across our small screens, as a series regular in the Sci-Fi comedy The Imperfects (Netflix), a recurring role in Fisk (Netflix) and on all four seasons of Drag Race Down Under (Stan), as well as featuring as a contestant on Network 10’s Taskmaster Australia, and the reboot of Thank God You’re Here.

“We’re super excited to be part of the Rainbow Festival,” promoter Nick Gleeson of Central West Comedy said.

“Rhys has been here before with Joel Creasy, and we had two sold-out shows which were fantastic! Rhys is phenomenal. They are just a very sharp, witty stand-up, and they’ll be headlining the show.

“Kirsty Webeck — both her shows for the Canberra Comedy Festival have sold out I’m told, and so we are excited to see what she brings to Orange!”

Bringing a night of stand-up to the

Orange Function Centre will be a first for Central West Comedy, which has grown from monthly gigs at local cafe Factory Espresso to bringing comedy shows to Bathurst, Molong, Dubbo, Tamworth, Inverell and Armidale.

But with big plans for the future, Nick said it won’t be the last time they use the large-capacity function centre.

“We thought this is a good opportunity to see how that space works for us because in the future… Central West Comedy, we want to attract larger artists, and some won’t always do a 150-seater like at Factory,” Nick said.

together in June.

“Justin’s been up at least four or five times, and every time he brings a new set and he just kills!” Nick said.

“And Tom’s working on a new show, so Orange will actually see brand-new material before anybody else, which is exciting!”

And those attending the Rainbow Festival Comedy Show will get the first chance to buy tickets for Tom Gleeson and Justin Hamilton in June.

“We’ve got other larger acts coming later in the year, which will be in that space, so it’s actually very exciting!”

“We’re going to release a small portion of those tickets for the audience at the Rainbow Festival,” Nick said, adding that tickets will also be available soon via the Central West Comedy website.

While Nick wasn’t ready to spill the beans on all the big names coming to town this year, he did reveal that Orange favourites Tom Gleeson and Justin Hamilton will be back to perform

LET’S TALK MONEY

with DANIEL MCGREGOR

yourself first is a down payment on being able to pay yourself in the future when you decide you’d like to stop working.

It’s usually the case that the people you might think are millionaires are up to their eyeballs in debt and spending every cent they earn to look like a millionaire, while the actual millionaires go about their lives quietly accumulating the wealth that will see them never run out of money.

When many of us were growing up, a million dollars could set you up for life.

While a million dollars doesn’t quite go as far as it used to, being a millionaire is still the exception rather than the rule.

There are lots of millionaires in Australia, so chances are there are a few living near you.

How do they do it? The key traits of a REAL millionaire are:

The question is, would you recognise one?

1. They spend less than they earn. The key to wealth creation.

The reality is that most millionaires don’t look like what you’ve been led to believe a millionaire looks like.

KNOWING YOU’RE KNOWN IS ENOUGH WITH JILL BRODIE

Do you ever think, “I’m not good enough, smart enough, fit enough…?” You have a moment of inspiration and then you talk yourself out of it.

As a little kid I wanted to be a Vet but at school I struggled with Maths and Science. Next, I wanted to go to the Olympics and play for Australia in Hockey but by age 16 I realised I couldn’t run fast enough. When I was 18, I wanted to be an international businesswoman and manage hotels all over the world but I only lasted 4 weeks at Uni. In Deuteronomy 34 it talks about a guy called Moses. He was the guy who led the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt and parted the Red Sea and he is described as the G.O.A.T, due to his “awesome deeds” and “mighty power”.

But here’s the thing, read Exodus 2 and you will discover that Moses was a runaway and murderer.

God doesn’t ask us to be “enough” before we can do great things, he asks us to “know him”.

“Since then, no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face.” Deut 34:10.

DESPERATE CRIMINALS PICK THE WRONG MAN TO ASSAULT

O

ver the past few weeks we’ve had a number of instances of people trespassing onto private property and stealing our election posters.

Trespass and theft are both crimes.

Last Tuesday night solicitor Toby Tancred was working back late when he heard people ripping my posters from the front fence of his office in Orange.

He went outside and caught three young men who’d pulled up in a dark coloured ute stealing signs. When he asked them what they were doing one of them threatened Toby by shaping up to attack him. This is as shocking as it is disgraceful. They picked the wrong man to assault. Toby defended himself and the three spineless criminals fled the scene.

people are to silence our campaign.

Posters were also stolen from properties in Lucknow, Molong, Wellington, Orange and Bathurst as well as from trailers.

They are clearly trying to steal every poster in the region.

Those responsible should turn themselves in to police.

The theft and vandalism hasn’t stopped at campaign posters. Here’s a photo of one of our trailers that has been stripped of its wheels.

iteracy is a basic human right, and you are never too old to learn.

It was an honour to attend the launch of the NSW Aboriginal Adult Literacy for Life Campaign at the Orange Youth HUB last Tuesday evening and to stand alongside so many community members and leaders.

The Literacy for Life campaign is a powerful step forward in empowering Aboriginal adults in our community with the tools they need to thrive, particularly through reading, writing, and educational opportunities.

• The Literacy Campaign Team: Johanna Parker, Lillian Lucas, Salote Lucas, Jayde Anderson, and Kyle Lewis; • Aboriginal musicians and community legends, Ricky Ah-See and Brian Ah-See A huge thank you to Jamie Pomfrett, Rex Cochrane and everyone involved in the literacy launch. I can’t wait to return to Glenroi to hear all the updates from the adult classroom and to shoot a few more hoops with the kids!

From the Welcome to Country by Senior Wiradjuri Elder, Uncle Neil, to the Smoking Ceremony and Dancing, we certainly saw the strength of the community.

I had the privilege of addressing the gathering along with:

Toby got a good look at all of them and said the whole operation was clearly well organised.

I hope the law catches up with these low-lifes soon so that assault can be added to theft and trespass. When it does it will be very interesting to see who may be behind it all.

S

afety and care for patients is paramount for micro-suction ear cleaning specialist Heather Grainger and her twin-state business

Ear 2 Ear.

The Ear 2 Ear Micro-Suction Ear Cleaning (Ear 2 Ear) website describes the process of microsuction as removing: “Ear wax and anything else that shouldn’t be in the ear quickly and safely using an ultrathin, glass suction tube similar to a tiny vacuum.”

Heather removes ear wax by use of a very gentle suction, a small sucker and some very fine glass tubes.

“It’s a very safe and gentle way of removing wax,” she said.

A registered nurse who completes regular updates, Heather has also completed a nationally-recognised course in micro-suction and aural hygiene.

Heather Grainger operates the business Ear 2 Ear, which has branches in NSW and Tasmania.

visit her for treatment after he had blocked ears that needed urgent treatment upon his arrival in Devonport.

Upon Heather’s safe execution of service, the man mentioned he wished he could access such a service closer to home.

He then assisted Heather with some background research about Orange and potential clients.

With a former career in community health and palliative care where she often travelled in the car to see patients, the thought of combining travel and work appealed.

So, Heather decided to utilise her skills to start her own business.

She makes trips to Orange once every five or six weeks, working for three days, and in the last five months has added the Dubbo leg of visits to her service.

better,” Heather said.

“It’s a dry procedure, I can see exactly what I’m doing, and I suck the wax out from the entrance in.

I’m not pushing it in with water. I am sucking it out.”

An example of her quality service and client-based solutions, she once had to treat a young boy who had used pencils to scratch his ears.

He ended up having a chronic infection which was not responding to antibiotics.

“So when I got I there and started to suck out all the discharge in his ear … I found the tips of two lead pencils,” she said.

She has also sucked moths and beetles out of the ear canal and can also detect potential problems and refer clients to specialist doctors.

Last July, she went fully out on her own, starting Ear 2 Ear.

Heather can see children aged five and anyone older.

Ear 2 Ear now has a NSW branch and a Tasmanian branch.

Heather began started seeing patients in Orange in October, 2022.

Her main clientele are the elderly with hearing aids.

“You have to believe in yourself,” she said.

It’s an amazing story of how she first came to the colour city.

This is because hearing aids do not work to their highest extent when the ear canal is full of ear wax.

“I felt when people in Orange and Dubbo heard about me, they would come to me. That realisation has been fulfilled.”

Heather was running an audiologist and micro-suction clinic business for a business owner at Devonport, Tasmania, where she lives.

She once had a man from Cowra

“When you remove that ear wax, hearing aids work so much better.

It’s lovely to see the look on peoples faces that they can hear so much

SPORTSNEWS COLOUR CITY DRAGONS monthly wrap-up

Colour City Dragons members selected for the State Western Region team (absent is Sharon, the masterful Sweep)

This month saw all local and regional dragon boating scheduled for our beautiful Lake Canobolas moved to Carcoar Dam as Lake Canobolas was unavailable due to the blue/green algae bloom. Thank you to Carcoar Sailing Club for generously welcoming us to use their picturesque dam and club facilities. And as enjoyable as it is to paddle under the watchful eye of many curious cows along the shoreline and admire the sprawling landscape and homesteads, the dam has offered up another timely benefit, its length. Great long stretches of straight paddling are perfect for tailored training in the lead-up to the 8km Bei Loon Challenge and 2025 Australian Dragon Boat Championships.

Colour City Dragons are well represented in the NSW State Western Region team for the Aus Champs having 9 of our intrepid paddlers who stepped up for the trials being selected, and 8 in total taking up the acceptances.

Congratulations to each of you and we know you will do yourselves, Orange, and NSW proud. The Aus Champs will be held in NSW this year at the Sydney International Regatta Centre (SIRC), Penrith from 26th April to 1st May. Training for the NSW State Western Region team is well underway and the team have been coming together in Orange to train, bond, develop, and forge themselves, their strength, and their skills as a thunder of dragons big in might and spirit. Their unity is magnificent to watch as they limber up on the banks of the water, before boarding their boats to perform what could best be described by an onlooker as an eye-pleasing Olympic-quality synchronised paddling routine, honing their techniques and endurance for competition.

Coming Up: Bei Loon 8km Challenge Race, Saturday 8th March Forbes Invitational Training/ Fun Day! Sunday, 6th April

The full squad pushing out to commence a rigorous three-hour training session

THUMBS

EMAIL: reception@oclife.com.au | 6361 3575

THUMBS UP Thank you to the Door Store for their prompt service. A special thank you to Mick and Jake for their efficiency and professionalism. Terrific service; one happy customer.

THUMBS UP to Amanda at Orange City Council.

She organises seniors’ monthly activities. In February we played walking netball — 10 out of 10 for our coach Brooke for her patience in training us seniors. A great time and fun was had by all.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for putting

‘No Stopping’ signs on Dalton Street outside the old hospital site, so cars can no longer park in the middle of the split road under the big shady trees. A disgrace!

THUMBS UP for the bulky goods clean-up crew.

Clean-up is divided into recoverable or disposable lots, and quickly and efficiently collected. Well done in the hot weather.

THUMBS DOWN to the person who picked the

sunflowers I grew in my own front garden on Edward Street. It wasn’t even over the pathway, it was in the middle of the garden bed! If you wanted some, you could have left a note in the letterbox and I would have given you some seeds. Our garden is very special and we take a lot of pride and care to grow it for our own well-being and to brighten up the street. Keep your light fingers to yourself and learn some manners.

THUMBS UP to Di at the NRMA Orange office.

Following a very unsatisfactory connection with the NRMA overseas call centre this young lady restored my faith in this company and even rang me back several days later to confirm all was well with my account. All the staff at the Orange office are great. It’s just a shame that these big companies use overseas call centres using people whose local knowledge is limited!

THUMBS UP to Canobolas High. All the teachers and SLSOs are amazingly supportive and it’s a breath of fresh air to have the support that is needed.

THUMBS UP to one of the most supportive schools in Orange and Toni from Orange East Public School.

Nothing is an issue. Toni always has a smile on her face.

The kids love her and she’s just an all-round wonderful person!

THUMBS UP to Lucinda at Canobolas High for

always having the best interest of the kids at heart. She is always going above and beyond for all her students.

THUMBS UP to Phil Donato for arranging for me to receive a retirement medal and a beautiful certificate recognising over forty years of service to the Department of Education as a teacher and a high school principal.

THUMBS UP to Harry of Anything Plumbing.

Amazing worker, very reliable, and great workmanship skills. Job well done.

THUMBS UP to the amazing team from Voluntary Assisted Dying (VAD) Central West who attended our house on three separate occasions to assess and speak to my terminally-ill husband. The three doctors were compassionate, caring, and very professional. They gave back my husband’s control and decision-making over his life, allowing him to pass peacefully at home surrounded by loved ones. They are truly wonderful people doing hard work.

THUMBS UP to Lifestyle team Jodie and Zoe at Gosling Creek Aged Care. On walking in there on Thursday morning I was blown away how the piano room was presented for the day’s activities. It was a credit to them. Also shout out to Zoe who stepped up and organised Friday’s activities on her own. They are an asset to the team and it’s great to work with such dedicated people.

THUMBS UP to Brian Meyers from Ole Skool Mowing and Gardening for his go-ahead attitude.

THUMBS DOWN to all the car manufacturers for building cheap model cars with no indicators… it would appear the majority of motorists in Orange are purchasing these vehicles.

THUMBS DOWN to drivers at roundabouts who only look to their right and never to their left. The road rule is simple: give way to ALL traffic already in the roundabout. You need to give way to cars, trucks, and buses that might already be in the roundabout to your left. Try that!

THUMBS UP to Daruma. Best Japanese food

and unbelievably warm, respectful, customer service.

Daruma is a gem to be treasured!

THUMBS DOWN to Menulog. Ordered some food from Suli Sushi, only to notice Menulog had automatically filled in an old address, with nowhere to override this. The restaurant was brilliant trying to divert the driver to the new address, or at least get a refund or voucher issued. But, no: Menulog’s office insisted that unless it was delivered to the old address, neither driver nor restaurant would be paid. So food was left on a pitch-dark porch outside a vacated house. Really? I have deleted the Menulog app, and suggest you might do the same.

THUMBS UP to Con at August Jewellers who recently resized and repaired my rings to ‘brand new’ amazing and sparkling condition. Your skill and professional expertise is exceptional and I am thrilled beyond words at the result. Thank you so very much for such an outstanding job.

THUMBS UP to the gentleman who – as I was

walking home – pulled over with his two young children in the car and offered me a lift, because it was too hot to be walking. Luckily I was only 50 metres from home, but still appreciated the kind offer.

Orange and District Softball Association has wrapped up its round games, with teams now battling it out in the finals series.

This sets up a must-win clash between Butterfingers and Hurricanes in the finals. More exciting matchups across all grades are set for this weekend.

Thanks to Chasing Tigers for capturing the action throughout the season!
