Thank you to our Sponsors: Orange City Life is grateful to the following sponsors for their ongoing support over many years. These sponsorships, among other things, have enabled us to bring our readers a lot more enjoyment to our publications than would otherwise be possible. In return, we ask you to please support them as often as you’re able.

This past week I had the pleasure of sitting down to chat with local artist Ted Lewis. Ted has been painting most of his life and had his very first exhibition as a teenager just shy of 50 years ago. Most Orange people would be familiar with Ted’s work and it was great to hear a bit of his story. While at his studio, one of the things I found remarkable was the collection of photographs he has taken over the years to use as he works on his paintings. It’s a historical treasure trove, with Ted returning to photograph some of the same locations many times over the past decades. You can follow the changes in buildings and landscapes over the years and I’m sure some of his photographs would be the only ones in existence of certain locations. Hopefully, we might be able to share a few examples from Ted’s photo collection in the future.

Are you a blood donor? Has it been a while since your last donation? Now is the time to book an appointment. Australian Red Cross Lifeblood is always on the lookout for more donations, but while attending our local blood donor centre last Friday, I was made aware of a push to get people to donate due to the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred. Lifeblood was forced to cancel nearly 4,000 appointments due to the approaching storm and the closure of 22 donor centres in the cyclone’s path. While most donor centres have reopened, blood collections in the area are not expected to return to normal for some time. To book an appointment for your donation, call 13 14 95, visit lifeblood.com.au or download the Donate Blood App.

Orange FOOD Week committee and sponsors held an official launch of the popular annual food festival at Hotel Canbolas on Tuesday. Now in its 34th year, Orange FOOD Week takes place from March 28 to April 6, with nearly 100 events over two weekends showcasing the best the region has to offer.

Orange FOOD Week 2025 serving up close to 100 delicious events

O

range’s longrunning food and wine festival gets underway on March 28, serving up nearly 100 events over two weekends showcasing the best of the region’s seasonal produce, cool-climate wines, and vibrant culinary scene.

Now in its 34th year, FOOD Week continues to be a huge visitor drawcard for the region. The festival’s six signature events alone are estimated to generate nearly $500,000 in revenue, and that excludes the other

70-plus events hosted by individual businesses at cellar doors, restaurants and elsewhere, FOOD Week President Charlotte Gundry said during the official launch of the festival at Hotel Canbolas on Tuesday.

“Really quite an extraordinary thing that FOOD Week now is a half-amillion-dollar exercise run by a bunch of volunteers… I think it’s just quite extraordinary and I’m certainly very proud to be a part of it,” Charlotte said.

“A lot of the signature events have sold out, which is amazing,” she said of the 2025 FOOD Week program.

“And so we can now push guests and visitors into going to the smaller events that are being run by our wineries and restaurants and farm gates… This year, we’ve actually got over 70 events being run by individual operators across the region, which is really exciting and from all accounts, ticket sales are going pretty well for those events.”

The diversity and variety of this year’s events is also great to see, added Charlotte, with everything from intimate dinners, hands-on masterclasses, and family-friendly events alongside exciting new additions in neighbouring towns and villages like

the Molong Meander and Falling for Blayney High Tea event.

“People have taken a lot of time to think about what their event is trying to achieve and being quite creative.

I really like that people have thought about them and taken time to create something special… that really shows that level of maturity in the region as well,” she said.

FOOD Week 2025 gets underway on Friday, March 28, with the popular night markets in Robertson Park and concludes on Sunday, April 6.

People of O-TOWN

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

I’m not sure I have an actual title as such but with the help of a great team and some key management people, I own and operate Byng Street Group here in Orange, Dubbo and soon to be Goulburn. I have been in the hospitality industry since I was 18 and it has taken me all over the world.

From the fast pace of Formula 1 where I worked as a chef for the McLaren Race Team to the quiet bubbling brooks of Scotland where I worked as a private chef on country sporting estates. I love meeting new people and talking to our regular guests on a daily basis.

Describe your ideal day out in Orange (with unlimited time and budget)? ✓ Breakfast with the family at Byng Street followed by a stroll around the shops. ✓ Home for a quick dip in the pool.

Where would you go for the perfect birthday dinner?

I turned 51 last week and we had 2 excellent birthday dinners. The first was at Lucetta on my actual birthday with just Juliet and myself which is always very delicious. We always get Francesco to cook for us which is the best way to do it. The second dinner

a few nights later was at Byng Street Local Store which was also extremely good especially with Chef Alan’s extraordinarily good layered chocolate and beetroot birthday cake and the token Happy Birthday singalong we do for all our Byng Street Birthday guests What’s your favourite quiet space in Orange?

Probably my office at home. Its separate from the house and I can watch the cows in the paddock and the endless horizons that lie between us and Mt Canobolas.

Who are your top three dinner party guests from any point in history?

1. The first would be my father who passed away 10 years go. He would be 78 now and it would be great to catch up with him again.

2. The second would be Mark Knopfler. I would love to hear his story. Both dad I are fans of his music and I’m sure he would be pretty good company. He would naturally have to teach me a couple of riffs in between courses.

3. Naturally I think there needs to be a lady at the table so I would choose Amy Winehouse. She would bring an element of WILD to the table and her voice is unbelievable. I think she would have some interesting stories to tell as well.

If you were running for mayor, what would your campaign slogan be?

Made In Orange…. Small business matters.

The Rotary Club of Orange is donating all the gate takings from Sunday’s community market to local volunteer group Riding for the Disabled (RDA) Orange, which will be holding an information stall at the market on March 16.

Sunday’s Community Markets supporting RDA Orange Rotary Club of Orange’s Community Markets are back at the Orange Showground this Sunday, March 16, and as you make your donation at the gate on your way to nab a bargain, buy some delicious homemade goods or that perfect gift, know that your money is going to help a very worthy local cause.

“Having to interact with us in that easy, going manner to get on a horse, helping them learn how to trust a horse… when you watch that child’s behaviour change from being really, really scared of a horse to being able to touch the horse, to being able to get on it and ride it and then being fully confident, It’s really amazing,” she said

Rotary is donating all the gate-takings from Sunday’s market to Riding for the Disabled (RDA) Orange, a volunteer group providing local school children with therapeutic horse-related activities out at Clifton Grove.

“We had one child that it took the whole year to get in that way and at the end of the year at his school, he did a dance on the stage!. This child, who was so shy, quiet and didn’t love change, is up on stage dancing to music with two others. It was an amazing transformation.”

RDA Orange secretary Deb Finlay said it is an inspiring thing to see the positive impact their horses have on the lives of many children.

But maintaining their 13 horses and riding facilities is not cheap, and the work of RDA Orange is not funded by

the government.

“The only funds that we get, we get from the community. And in fact, our community does support us brilliantly, as shown by Rotary thinking of us for receiving this gift,” Deb said.

“If you want to have a chat with us, you’ll see us in our blue shirts with our sign, RDA Orange… It’s as tall as I am! You won’t miss us,” Deb said.

Along with funds, RDA Orange is always looking for volunteers to lend a hand, whether it be working with the horses, working with the children or behind the scenes.

“You can choose what your preference is as to what you wish to do with the groups of children. It is an easy-going volunteer group,” Deb said.

RDA Orange will have a stall at the markets on Sunday if anyone would like to

Don’t miss the Rotary Club of Orange’s Community Markets at the Orange Showground this Sunday, March 16, from 9am to 2pm. Stallholders will be selling: primary produce, plants, food and nonalcoholic beverages, toys, cosmetics, brica-brac, clothing, jewellery and accessories, quality second-hand goods, arts and crafts, books and homeware, leather goods, succulents, handmade bags, gems/opals, toys, succulents, baby goods, hair goods, honey, salts and rubs, décor, mosaics and more!

O

range City Council CEO David Waddell has announced that he will not seek to renew his contract when it expires

in September.

Mr Waddell, who made the announcement at last week’s council meeting, has held the position since replacing former CEO Garry Styles in 2019. Previously Director of Development Services, he has been with Council since 2009.

Council CEO

DAVID WADDELL will step down in September

Mr Waddell said that having turned 60 in 2024 and with his three children now independent, he had decided to step away from full-time work into lesser roles to spend more time with his family and pursue less intense work opportunities.

“It is with a mixture of sadness and excitement that I announced to Council that I will not be renewing my contract in September this year,” he said.

“It has been a great privilege to lead the staff of Orange City Council over the last six years and I am very proud of

the achievements that Council and staff have made in the last period including the efforts during Covid, drought and through extraordinary growth in our beautiful town.

“It is time for me to step aside from the role and let someone else take Orange forward.”

Mr Waddell said the decision was made with a great deal of thought and discussion with his family, Orange Mayor Tony Mileto thanked Mr Waddell for his long contribution to Council.

“Mr Waddell has given 15 years to Orange City Council with six years as CEO and I’d like to thank him for leading so well the organisational side of Council over that period,” Cr Mileto said.

“His legacy will be significant. I look forward to farewelling him properly later in the year.”

Mr Waddell will finish up in August 2025. Council have stated that they will begin the recruitment process for a new CEO in April.

MUSIC MATTERS

with RUTH THOMPSON

I

was eight years old when I was gifted my first musical instrument – a three-quarter-size nylonstringed guitar from my Dad. I don’t remember pestering him for a guitar, but learning, playing guitar and singing, has opened so many doors throughout my life of which I am grateful.

system fully developed at birth, they are making sense of all the sounds around them continuously. Did you know that a newborn hears spoken language as music? Is this one of the reasons why a gently sung lullaby reduces anxiety in a crying, restless infant – and the quality of your voice, I might add, is irrelevant to your child.

When people discover that I teach music to children as young as three months, often the first question I am incredulously asked is, “What instrument do you teach a baby?” This question is often asked without much analysis or reflection upon the motor skills of an infant, not yet walking, but it is a common association, music = learning an instrument.

Musical intelligence, one of the seven basic intelligences proposed by Howard Gardiner (in his book, Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences, 1983), is the only intelligence that can be developed to any marked degree in the first years of life. Music is the vehicle that can tap into all intelligences – at EYMS we see it every day: as we sing Two Little Dickie Birds or Five Little Ducks – our music is feeding into Mathematical intelligence; as we play clapping and tapping games, we develop body awareness and spatial intelligence; as we take turns and share we develop interpersonal intelligence to name a few.

I propose that our bodies, as young as newborns, are a portable instrument allowing us to engage in playful music making. We move, we make babbling sounds, we listen and if this is done with someone who loves us, the learning is faster and enjoyment, heightened. Children learn through experimentation and repetition how to press “play” on their own bodies and make their own music. A skill many of us have relegated to electrical devices and flat screens…. another whole article there!

Children are born ‘wired for sound’. With their auditory

So perhaps the question isn’t “What instrument do you teach a baby?” but rather “Does it matter?”. My answer, “Yes it does.

Music matters.”

Early childhood programs that are built upon musical play allows the child to develop a whole range of skills – mathematical, linguistic, spatial, kinaesthetic, interpersonal.

TALES FROM MY MOTHER’S KITCHEN

Jelly slice

with EMILY THOMPSON

Ingredients: BASE: 250g packet Nice biscuits 150g salted butter, melted tsp ground cinnamon Filling: Juice and zest of 2 large lemons I need to be honest and tell you that this recipe is from my mother-inlaw’s recipe treasure trove, not my mum’s. I had never even heard of jelly slice until 2016 when hubby and I were showing our tiny babies the duckies in cook park, and wandered into the Guildry. What an incredibly magical place that is, that reminds me of my grandmother’s house! He chose a treat for afternoon tea and picked up the bright red jelly slice. It was love at fist bite for our eldest daughter, and hubby spent the next two days talking about how his mum’s recipe is better.

Now, again, this is a tried and tested recipe that I’ve made countless times, and there’s only a few secrets to it. The first is the base- using salted butter and adding cinnamon makes all the difference. The flavour is just barely noticeable but it elevates it from a simple slice to one that people will ask the recipe for.

The middle layer should always have zest in it, not just juice, for a super lemony zing, and let the gelatine bloom in cold water before heating it. This means it will be evenly incorporated and not stringy or gummy.

The last tip is to use 1.5 packets of jelly crystals in the topping. The best way to mitigate waste is to simply buy 3 packets and make two slices. And why not- I’ve never had anyone say no to jelly slice!

395g tin condensed milk 1 tbsp gelatine powder in 30mls cold water TOPPING 1.5 packets of raspberry jelly crystals 200mls boiling water

250mls cold water METHOD:

1) Blitz biscuits in food processor.

While running, add melted butter and cinnamon 2) Press into lined slice tin and refrigerate for 1 hour.

3) Make up jelly using the measurements provided, let sit on bench to come to room temperature- do not refrigerate.

4) Place gelatine in small dish with cold water, leave for 5 minutes to bloom. Microwave for 30 seconds until liquid.

5) Stir gelatine, condensed milk, lemon juice and zest in a mixing bowl, pour over cooled base and refrigerate for 1 hour.

6) Carefully pour cooled jelly over slice, refrigerate for 2 hours until set. Slice with a warm knife and serve.

period, and many won’t be eligible to donate blood for a while. New donors will be needed to see us through the coming weeks.”

ustralian Red Cross Lifeblood urgently needs an additional 6000 people to donate blood this week following the unprecedented number of donor centre closures due to ex-Cyclone Alfred and a surge in hospital orders preceding the disaster.

If you’ve been waiting to find a reason to become a donor or have been thinking about coming back to donate, this is the time to act, Stuart said.

Almost 4,000 bags of blood are needed by hospitals every day across Australia to help patients in times of trauma, major surgery, cancer treatment, childbirth, and for a range of other medical conditions.

A major boost in donations is urgently needed now to ensure blood continues to be available for patients in need.

Acting Chief Executive Officer, Stuart Chesneau said Lifeblood was particularly focused on replenishing stocks of platelets, which are made from blood donations and have a shelf-life of just five days after they’re tested.

“We pre-emptively sent extra supplies of blood products, including platelets, to hospitals in the impacted region ahead of Alfred landing, but many of those platelets are now close to expiring,” Stuart said.

“They are used to help people undergoing chemotherapy or to stop bleeding during surgery or after a major trauma.”

With 22 donor centres in Queensland and northern NSW closed due to the approaching Cyclone, Lifeblood was forced

“We’re asking anyone who may be eligible to donate to book an appointment now, and we also need new donors to step up. Our regular donors have seen us through the Christmas and New Year

Lifeblood has now reopened most donor centres in Queensland, but with some roads and donors still cut off, is not expecting blood collections in the state to return to normal for some time.

“Understandably, many donors will be unable to get to their appointments as they focus on their families and homes in the coming days and weeks,” Stuart said.

“We have therefore opened up additional appointments in other states to help make up any shortfall.”

The half-century art career of

Ted Lewis SORE TIRED PAINFUL FEET? SEE A PODIATRIST TODAY

“It was funny back then because people in Orange, they knew Ted Lewis the football player, but Ted Lewis the painter, that was on the odd side,” recalls Ted Lewis from the comfortable, well-used art studio at his home halfway between Orange and Ophir.

“They had the idea that because you painted, you can’t be a rough, silly footballer who goes out and gets his head bashed in, and if you are a painter, you’d be soft. Couldn’t be the same person.”

Ted’s love of art began at a young age and he recalls times he had a notebook flung out the schoolroom window for drawing in class when he should have been doing something else.

It was an interest fostered by his mother and grandmother, along with a love of the Australian bush, which for Ted, was literally at his doorstep.

Ted, who is certainly not silly and even at 67 years of age looks quite capable of strapping on the boots if he had a mind to, is telling of the time in his early 20s when his coach asked him to choose between football and his career as an artist.

“We grew up on the edge of Orange. Orange pretty much ended then at Phillips Street and we were halfway up the hill to where those two tanks would be. My grandmother had a fiveacre block there, and we lived there with this beautiful view of Mount Canobolas,” says Ted.

“I thought that’s a silly thing to say; one’s making me a living, the other one’s only good for a few more years,” says Ted, who simply stepped down to reserve grade and continued to paint.

Ted’s father had left when he was young, and so he, his two brothers, and his sister grew up living with his mother and grandmother on their small block overlooking Orange.

Ted’s HSC major work was selected for a state-wide exhibition and upon leaving school, he sold 50 of 53 artworks at his first-ever exhibition at Orange’s Hesley Gallery.

The family also loved to explore the surrounding bush Amazing success for an 18-year-old up-and-coming and among Ted’s extensive photo collection are snaps of artist, but Ted then caught an even bigger break when family outings along Summer Hill Creek and the Mullion he was the subject of a three-page feature in the Ranges.

Women’s Weekly, written by legendary Australian journalist Ron Saw. Ted was drawn to the bush and it soon became the focus of his art.

Not only did the story lead to one of Ted’s biggest art sales at the time, but he found himself in demand for commission work.

“I just like landscapes,” says Ted, shrugging. “I live where we live here and even when I was out on my L-Plates, we would stop and take photos of gum trees and the country. I just like gum trees and so it was always a thing for me to do, to go look at the trees.”

Ted’s artistic talent was recognised by his Orange High School art teacher, who encouraged him to pursue it, despite his mother’s initial wish for him to study commerce.

“Mum wanted me to do commerce and maybe be an accountant because I was good at maths, but the art teacher approached her and said, I had to do art, which I was happy with. So I did art as an elective in second form and I stayed with that right through,” says Ted.

“It’s always been what I wanted to do, so I just made it work”

Most of Ted’s painting during those years was done in front of the television, he says, sitting on the lounge room floor surrounded by paint tubes at an old techdrawing easel.

His work found a market at his mother’s workplace, where they were sold to help keep him in art supplies.

“Mum used to sell them when she worked at the council. A couple of dollars a painting or whatever. And it was handy because that just bought the paints, so it pretty much paid for itself as I went along,” he says.

“And it kept you going, kept encouraging you. It worked well for me.”

“These people from Mungindi read it and they commissioned me to go up there and paint a picture as a prize for a sheep trial they were having,” recalls Ted. “I went up there to paint this picture. It turned out really good and I had a great time.

I did a couple at their place as well, and they bought them.

work. So, I quit,” he explains.

Over the years, Ted has tried his hand at many things to keep paying the bills alongside the ups and downs of his painting career, from mowing lawns to working in an orchard, all while building a house nearly singlehandedly.

Opening his own local studio, Ted began to get more and more work exhibited in galleries around the country, he was able to close his shopfront and now focuses solely on painting from his home in the bush.

It’s where he has always wanted to be, and he’s doing what he always wanted to do, says Ted, 50 years and many thousands of paintings on from that first solo exhibition at the Hesley Gallery.

“Art has always been a passion. It’s always been what I wanted to do, so I just made it work,” he says simply.

“It’s enabled me to do a lot of things, which has been good. You can’t always guarantee sales or income, but you just got to stick at it and take good time with a bad time.

“All you can do is your best. You can always keep trying to do better, and that’s what I try to do.”

“After that, a few others up there started wanting pictures of their sheds or bore drains, or pump stations or houses and things like that, so people would contact me and I’d organise boards and frames and go up there for a week and stay with them and go and paint – that went on for a few years.”

It was this work that took Ted away from the football field and brought about the demand to choose between rugby league and his art.

Not that it was ever really a serious decision for Ted, who also chose his art over a steady job at Email, when he began to develop strain injuries in his wrists.

“It’s not worth your future, especially painting, to have your wrists and hands knocked up so that you can’t

ORANGE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL PRESENTS CULTURED Photos by HENRY DEROOY

A key feature of the 2025 Orange Chamber Music Festival was the community event, Cultured, a free day of music in the cultural precinct on Saturday, March 8, The idea behind Cultured is to take classical music out of the concert hall and make it more accessible to people with more informal performances.

Our OC Life photographer caught the debut performance of the newly established Cultured Youth Orchestra and the Wula Gurray Children’s Choir who performed an Australia-themed program at the Orange Civic Theatre. They then ventured over to the Orange Regional Gallery for a specially curated performance by alumni of the acclaimed Australian Chamber Orchestra.

what’s happening in orange and surrounding regions

Central West Band Fest comes to Robertson Park Rainbow Festival Pride Party returns bigger, brighter, and bolder with host Joel Creasey and headliner Odette Orange’s most colourful celebration is about to hit new heights, with the Rainbow Festival Pride Party returning bigger, brighter, and bolder in 2025— now with newly announced host comedian Joel Creasey, and headliner Odette.

The all-out Pride Party will light up McNamara Street on Saturday, March 22, with the incomparable Joel Creasey guiding the night’s festivities.

Playing alongside the ARIA-nominated Odette (“Watch Me Read You”, “Feverbreak”) will be up-and-coming electro-pop duo Sumner (“South”, “Stranded”), who will be playing a DJ set.

Closing out the evening will be DJ Jimi the Kween, spinning crowd favourites and dance anthems.

20 ORANGE CITY LIFE | MARCH 13 — 19, 2025

The Pride Party is part of Orange’s expanded five-day Rainbow Festival, which runs from Wednesday, March19 to Sunday March 23. The festival celebrates inclusion, acceptance, and the local LGBTQIA+ community.

Alongside the Pride Party, other highlights include the Rainbow Walk and Community Gathering, a queer film festival, drag queen bingo, comedy night at the Orange Function Centre, and even a doggie drag queen day out.

The Rainbow Festival Pride Party takes place 5pm–10pm on Saturday, March 22, in McNamara Street, Orange (entry via Summer Street).

For more information, links to tickets and the full festival line-up, visit: rainbowfest.com.au

Brass, concert and stage bands from all over the Central West will descend on Orange’s Robertson Park this Saturday, March 15, for one big day of band music.

The inaugural Central West Band Festival will see ten bands from Orange and surrounding towns perform free in Robertson Park from 10am to 4pm.

Jeff Markham, President of the Band Association of NSW, said this festival will be a trial run of a model he hopes will lead to more band events around the state.

“We are always looking at how we can engage our membership better and how we can create opportunities and help our bands to get out and perform in the community,” he said.

“We’re looking to set up a program of events… festivals where we pick a central location and invite bands from around that region to come in for a day of music-making, just a social get together, a bit of fun, have a listen and support each other.”

The ten bands performing on Saturday include brass, concert and stage bands from Orange and all over the Central West, as well as the Toronto Brass Band, who will give a free concert at the Orange Regional Conservatorium on Saturday night.

“They’re one of our state’s leading brass bands so that’s terrific having them along,” Jeff said.

“It will be a pretty full-on day, which is fantastic… and all styles of music and playing. mThe Orange Lions Club will have their food truck down there for sausage sandwiches, coffee, tea and cold drinks. So bring a rug, have a bit of fun and enjoy some great band music!”

Central West Band Fest takes place at Robertson Park this Saturday, March 15, from 10am to 4pm.

Open Mic at the Vic! FRIDAY MARCH 14 The JAM Orange Open Mic Night returns to the Victoria Hotel this Friday, March 14.

Always popular, the monthly open mic features a mix of up-and-coming musicians and well-known local talent. The Vic is a favourite venue with the JAM musos and it should be a top line-up of local talent.

The night gets underway at 7.30pm. If you are a musician interested in booking a spot, email jamorange2800@gmail.com.

Then, on Saturday, March 15, head back to the Vic for some good oldfashioned Rock ‘n’ Roll and party like it’s 1959 with The F250s from 7.30pm til late!

On Sunday afternoon, PHATBOY keeps the music going, performing live from 2–5pm.

Your True Country Independent

Andrew GEE MP INDEPENDENT FEDERAL MEMBER FOR CALARE

THERE'S ONLY ONE TRUE INDEPENDENT

I

’m a genuine and true country Independent, and I value and treasure that independence.

I’m not going to be owned by anyone and that’s why I’ve been very determined to maintain my independence, both in the Parliament and out of it.

includes tackling issues like global warming.

The National Party is backed by big city corporates like big tobacco and big insurance companies that caused so much misery across our region in the floods of 2022.

Together they will spend millions campaigning for this seat. In a cost of living crisis, what a waste!

Climate 200 is backed by a big city billionaire in Simon Holmes a Court.

They’ve put a Teal candidate (Kate Hook) in the field for Calare backed by their big city money, which by the time we get to the election, will probably total hundreds of thousands of dollars.

But why the coyness about who you are and who’s backing you? Let’s talk frankly, it’s a de facto political party – the Teal Party. To me, that’s not true independence!

Everyone’s welcome to run for office and I believe we have an obligation to protect our environment for future generations and that

But I’ve now seen all major parties like the National Party and special interest groups like Climate 200/Teal Party up close and believe me, they’re all the same.

They’re all political operators. They may wear different uniforms but they’re just different sides of the same political coin, using big money to gain and expand political power, influence and empires.

It's obscene. Imagine all the needy community groups and residents that could use that money.

So when you see all the slick ads on TV and social media – ask yourself: where’s the money coming from? And what strings are attached?

And keep in mind that slick ads are no substitute for hard work on the ground. As the Beatles famously sang, money doesn't always buy you love!

To my way of thinking, we need more true Independents in parliament that aren’t going to be wholly owned subsidiaries of anyone.

As the only true country Independent in the race, I know I won’t be.

EMPOWERHER FASHION SHOW AN INSPIRING EVENING

of all ages. We are grateful for Christine’s leadership and the incredible work she does to ensure quality mental health care in our community.

The real highlight of the night was celebrating the young women of the

Central West who are already making a difference in our community and beyond.

We had the chance to see their incredible confidence on the runway as they modeled casual, cocktail, cultural, and long gown attire. Their zest for life was contagious!

Firstly, it was about empowering women through the excitement of runway fashion.

Secondly, it was an opportunity to learn about the serious issue of domestic abuse, with a powerful talk from Maria Woods, Director of Community Services at Plus Community Orange. Her words gave all of us a better understanding of the impact domestic violence has on individuals and communities.

The evening included a delicious supper and vibrant dance performance by the Shimmy Sistahs, keeping everyone energised and uplifted. We also heard from Dr. Christine Purcell, a dedicated psychiatrist at Dudley Private Hospital, who shared her personal journey as a working mum and her valuable insights into the importance of self-care for women

CSU SCHOOL OF RURAL MEDICINE – ADVOCATING FOR ACCEDITATION

I

’ve been fighting for better rural health services for years, and one of the key milestones I’ve achieved, together with the community, is the establishment of the Charles Sturt University, School of Rural Medicine.

To ensure CSU continues to train country doctors, it's crucial that the school receives accreditation from the Australian Medical Council. I made it a priority to attend recent hearings to highlight the exceptional programs and work happening at CSU and to advocate for their future plans.

The mission of the School of Rural Medicine is to

improve health outcomes for country people, and I remain committed to fighting for:

9Increased funding for rural medicine 9More enrolments for medical students 9Retention of doctors in rural areas

This year, the first cohort of CSU graduates will receive their medical degrees, and I am working urgently to secure more government-funded student placements to train even more doctors for our regional communities.

My sincere thanks to all the panelists at this week's forum and the opportunity to contribute to CSU School of Rural Medicine’s future plans.

RUNNING FOR PREMATURE BABIES

I

t was terrific to support Orange Running Festival last Sunday! I’ve been a supporter of the festival for years and it was a privilege to complete the Community Dash with Kim, Carson and Mikayla, and the team at Running For Premature Babies.

Kym had her twins at just 27 weeks and told me about the long months they had to spend in Sydney, all of the health issues her family have had to deal with and also the need for better support and equipment for premature babies in the Central West. Presenting her kids with their medals after all they’ve been through was the highlight of my day.

From mums, dads, and kids, to toddlers in prams, sprinters, dawdlers, marathon pros, and visitors alike, everyone had a great time at the running festival.

Thank you to all of the event organisers, volunteers, and sponsors, for making this festival such an inclusive and successful event.

It was amazing to see so many beaming smiles at the finish line. My congratulations to all the local schools, community groups, and runners who participated.

DESPERATE CRIMINALS PICK THE WRONG MAN TO ASSAULT

I

’ve been in state and federal politics for 14 years and have been involved in many campaigns.

This campaign is by far the meanest, dirtiest and nastiest that I have ever seen.

Over 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.

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

I also caught up with another sporting legend, Jack Littlefield! Jack and Sarah have just welcomed little Rocky to the world and he was certainly out enjoying the sunshine at his first running festival. The Littlefield's Boxing team had a very successful day!

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.

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.

It shows you how desperate some people are to silence our campaign.

CCT footage of criminals stealing my election posters in Orange 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. Our trailers have been stripped of their wheels too.

My campaign will not be silenced.

LET ME IN

WITH SUELLEN MILHAM

Last week I walked up to the automatic glass doors at the entrance to the shopping centre and they didn’t open. Three steps backward, a second attempt and I was able to enter. This has happened to me before and I’ve joked with a passerby that I mustn’t be heavy enough to open the door!

My weight doesn’t fluctuate that much but sometimes I’m let in and sometimes I’m not.

Scouts eager to join jamboree This enthusiastic group of Scouts were off on a week-long adventure in December 1964 to join the Seventh Australian Jamboree in Dandenong, Victoria. The group of 23 were unfazed by their heavy luggage and the long journey ahead of them. On the train they joined more than 100 other scouts from as far west as Nyngan.

Photo courtesy CWD Negative Collection, Orange & District Historical Society. The society‘s volunteers hold a work day each Wednesday at Heritage Cottage, 148 March Street, from 10.30am-4pm. Members are available to answer inquiries at this time.

This prompted me to think about other spaces I might want to enter. How can I come into the presence of God, for example? Is there a way in? Is it as hit and miss as walking straight into a shopping centre? Thankfully, no. God says the way into his presence is through his Son, Jesus. He’s not some kind of random, unpredictable doorkeeper but he is in fact the door, the only door. Jesus said: ‘I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me’.

If you come to the door and are known you will enter, no questions asked. So let me encourage you to meet Jesus.

Orange District Antique Motor club If you own, or have a passion for older cars, (30 years or older,) and would like to meet new friendly people and join in some fun outings and meets, this might be just the car club for you. We are a small car club based in Orange. We have at least four events a month so it’s a good chance to meet new people, have some fun and get that old car on the road. Membership is only $50 a year.

This is the second year the rugby club has held its free breakfast and skills clinic at the school, Orange City Rugby Club President Darren Wooding said, a way for them to give back to the local community while maybe even discovering a future Wallaby.

Darren said the club is also offering to provide transport to take away any barriers that might stop kids who want to play rugby from taking part.

“We want to give back to our community in some small way, and we know that Bowen has a great bunch of kids over there who may not always get all the opportunities of other kids, and we want to present opportunities to those young people and give them the opportunity to play a team sport on the weekend,” Darren said.

“We will be providing pick up and drop off for training and game day as well, so if mum and dad don’t have the means to give them transport to training or game day we are going to make that available for them,” he said.

“We also have our golf day coming up on the 8th of March and we are going to raise some money for Bowen again, for them to put towards whatever they see fit, just to give a little back to the community.”

Based in Orange, Rapidamp Electrical services Bathurst to Cowra, Blayney to Molong, and everywhere in between.

“That comes with not only the methods used, but the materials sourced.”

You can contact Rapidamp Electrical on 0423 215 472 or michael@rapidamp.com.au

It was while conducting research on his own house that he became further interested in solar and renewable energy options.

“In the world we are living in these days, it’s becoming increasingly important,” Michael said.

“More and more people are switching to electric vehicles … there are good government incentives to work with solar and batteries so it’s certainly something for people to consider.”

As an electrician with almost 15 years of experience before venturing into his own business Rapidamp Electrical around a year ago, Michael enjoys the flexibility of working for himself.

He was also quick to point out that most electricians can perform renewable energy jobs and that people don’t have to go to someone who works exclusively in that field.

There can be some challenges, and he has learned the value of patience.

“People generally look for a company that specialises in renewable energy, not thinking that electricians are perfectly capable of completing that sort of work,” he said.

He said providing large initial quotations for electrical solutions that will provide long-term cost savings means he understands clients need to take their time to consider all

Under the program, over 2,500 groundwater and surface water sites with an annual water entitlement of 100ML or more will receive free telemetry devices and installation.

This initiative will cut costs for water users, boost local businesses, and accelerate NSW's non-urban metering reform. It’s thanks to a $10.5 million investment from the Australian Government.

Telemetry devices will be installed by duly qualified persons on behalf of the department, beginning in the first half of 2025. They will deliver near-real-time data, improving water management, ensuring fair resource use, and simplifying compliance for license holders.

THUMBS UP to the honest

THUMBS UP I wish to thank the

young lad in the ute who helped me out of pickle the weekend before last.

I broke down just three kilometres from my destination in Orange after travelling 560km. Not able to get off The Escort Way in a safe position, this young man assisted me before the NRMA arrived (who were also good), and escorted me to my destination. He could not have been more helpful. Such selflessness and generosity is still out there! Another couple also stopped, so Orange welcomed me well.

individual/s who deposited my dropped wallet to the real estate firm where it had fallen, outside of their office, from my bag overnight earlier this week. They even left the $50 note that was tucked away in the wallet! It's so great and heartwarming to know there are nice people out there. Thank you!

THUMBS UP to Orange City

Council for finally fixing the surface of Winter Street.

THUMBS UP to Jordan, a very personable and efficient young man, employed at Aldi. It was a good experience to be served by you. You were very polite and helpful.

THUMBS DOWN t to the Orange

City Council for not cleaning up large branches broken out of a large tree in Tanderra Park eight to ten weeks ago. The council was notified twice by the mowing contractor. Also, the two dog-bag dispensers in Wirrabara Walk have been empty since the end of November when the council made it a leash-free area.

Pest Control. Very professional service and helped us get rid of some pesky fleas our dog brought home.

Lorne was kind and conscientious; thanks for all your help.

witness a thoughtful tradie working in Moulder Streey on Tuesday, March 4. Downed the tools to assist an elderly lady having extreme difficulty trying to get into a car (passenger side). So caring, he even put her seat belt on for her. Absolutely wonderful!

women, boys and girls, I see playing cricket each weekend around town. I admire your dedication to run around in the sun all afternoon, enjoying a game you obviously love. Great to see old and young playing sport together. What a great sport it is.

THUMBS DOWN t to all the

roundabouts with the high gardens in the middle so you can't see the cars or their indicator lights when they use them to see where they might be going.

THUMBS UP to Charlie at

Australia Post for his excellent interpersonal skills and for locating a parcel sent to Brisbane after I lost the receipt containing the tracking number.

THUMBS UP to Jodie our

homecare worker. She is so efficient, courteous, and helpful and always smiling and happy. Nothing is a problem for her… she goes out of her way to ensure we are happy with her work.

THUMBS UP to special people:

THUMBS UP to Lorne at Ryan’s

THUMBS UP Wonderful to

THUMBS UP to all the men and

THUMBS UP to Josh and

Seth from Hydro-Fix Plumbing for installing a water filter for some elderly people. They rang before they came to make sure we were home.

They also went out of their way to help us pick the system.

To the nurses working at the Wellness House. Lyn and Carolyn have dedicated and devoted to their professional model of care and are a credit to all nurses.
