The updated Orange Aventure Playground got a ‘thumbs up’ from my children on the weekend and I know they weren’t the only ones pleased with the overhaul. Given the unseasonably warm weather on Saturday and Sunday, there was certainly a crowd making use of the new splash park and water play areas. It looks great and I think it is a terrific new asset for the community that kids will love for years to come.

The Orange Kart Club is also holding a big event this Saturday and Sunday, the 2025 South Pacific Titles. With a $10,000 prize pool, it will bring people from all over the state to our local track for two days of racing. The Orange Kart Club committee have put out an invite to any fans or interested spectators to come and have a look.

Does our Let’s Feast food feature tempt you? I regularly seem to find myself thinking about a dish that has been highlighted by our photographer and make my lunch plans accordingly. Looking through the menu at The Hub Gourmet Pizza Bar this week, I just couldn’t go past the delicious Greek God Peinirli and have actually been back for it again. Well worth it, trust me!

Tracy’s little gestures of love for the long-departed “It’s just something I like to do,” says Tracy Hinton, walking through the old section of the Orange Cemetary late on a Friday afternoon.

“Everywhere I go, I try and find an old cemetery to walk through, but ours is beautiful. It’s tree-lined. It’s just gorgeous, and the history on the gravestones is just incredible.”

Old cemeteries have always held a fascination for Tracy, who has memories of coming along to visit graves with her father as a child. But after her brother tragically took his own life in 2008, Tracy says she found comfort in walking through the cemetery grounds whenever she came to visit.

“When my brother passed away, I was coming up here and it’s so peaceful and calming. You walk around with kangaroos bouncing, the rabbits running, the birds singing. It’s just the thing I like to do when I need a bit of quiet time,” says Tracy.

“People would say, ‘Oh, that’s my greatgrandfather!’ Or, ‘Thank you for finding that person. I hadn’t found that person for a long time.’ It’s a good feeling,” says Tracy, who then began to get messages from former Orange residents asking if she would be able to place a flower for them on the grave of their deceased loved ones.

“I started visiting him, then my grandfather’s grave right at the top and I’d just wander around down to the bottom, and there’s this incredible history that just goes unnoticed.”

Not just unnoticed, but too often neglected, says Tracy, who began to tidy and clean up some of the older graves on her regular visits and even lay fresh flowers.

“Walking around, I just noticed there were no flowers, and so many of them are broken… there’s a lot of children’s graves and they reach out to you a bit. A lot are unmarked or you can’t read them anymore, which is sad, so I started putting flowers on them. I thought, what’s the point in having flowers in the kitchen when you can do this for someone?”

Tracy has been doing this now for the past three years, but recently shared a few photos of graves she had visited to the “Old Orange Crew” Facebook group and was surprised by the positive response.

...It’s a good feeling to be able to do that. It’s really heartwarming to me. A little kind gesture of a rose is all, and there’s no cost to kindness.

“A lot of people were sending requests to me, people that were unable to come up or they’d moved away. ‘My mum would love it if you could put a flower on the grave of a son that she’d lost.’ Things like that,” says Tracy, who’s happy to oblige is she can.

“It’s a good feeling to be able to do that.

It’s really heartwarming to me. A little kind gesture of a rose is all, and there’s no cost to kindness.

“Some might find it quirky. Some might find it weird. I think a lot of people are scared of cemeteries… It’s just something I like to do, and I hope maybe someone will do that for me in 100 years.”

People of O-TOWN

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

I run CAJE Kitchen, and cook the meals for the café. I just really, really love cooking. I never liked cooking until about 15 years ago when I was in Melbourne and it opened my eyes to the joy of making good food to share. I started in a kitchen as the dishwasher, basically at the bottom- it teaches you how to be organised and work in the team. I learned to love the adrenaline rush and the pace of being in a kitchen, and worked my way up from there.

A few years ago, we moved into our current space after incredible success as a pop-up venue.

Where would you go for the perfect birthday dinner in Orange?

What do you love about living in Orange?

The community, to be honest.

Everyone is just so helpful with each other, and the support for my business in the last 2.5 years has been incredible. I wouldn’t be anywhere without the community support. Even the suggestion that I start a café was from a friend- Nick at Small Acres

What is you favourite hidden gem in Orange?

Mine! The reason I say so is because all of my customers agree. It’s also because we’re tucked in here at The Wellness House so people kind of have to hunt us down. We’re Orange’s best kept secret. But other than here I say Jones and Smith Distillery in Lucknow. Really good gin, really nice place and Tony and Dotty are amazing people.

Are you a dog or a cat person?

Dog person! We have four dogs at home. We started off with one, then bought another because you know they need friends so they’re not lonely.

Then we rescued a pup that my wife found abandoned one day. After we nursed her back to health, we realised she was a bit chunky and the vet visit revealed that she was pregnant. We gave most of the litter away to a friend but kept one. So, we have Fufoo, Jojo, Pippa and Luna.

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

We are all human first, so just be nice.

Oh it would be a walking food tour for the night. I’d start at Hey Rosie bar because it’s really good food and it always amazes me every time I go there.

...You feel wonderful when you help people and I mean there’s so many people in need. If you’ve got the skills, use them!...

A purler of an idea!

Local kni ers making a difference one rug at a time

F

or the past 14 years, a small group of local knitters has been busily putting their skills to good use, making thousands of woollen blankets to be sent to needy people around Australia and the world through the charity Wrap with Love.

Meeting at Orange City Library every Thursday morning, the Orange Purlers –a group of about 30 – happily volunteer their time knitting or crocheting squares to be made into wraps that can be distributed where needed.

“There were four of us initially,” says Dianne Percy over the buzz of conversation in the library’s local studies room.

“Just four girls and then it just sort of built up. Now, I’d say there’s approximately 65 because we’ll have to include all our country cousins that send us in rugs from Cowra, Canowindra, Condobolin, Eugowra, all over.”

While making the wraps is the main focus of the group’s activities, they have also made trauma teddies, beanies for premature babies and other items, often making do with whatever wool is available.

Since the groups started keeping records in 2011, nearly 7,000 wraps have been lovingly made and distributed to Wraps with Love or locally to Orange Hospital, St Vincent de Paul, Benjamin Short Grove aged care facility, Orange Uniting Church, Housing Plus, The Orchard women’s refuge and to our local homeless.

“One of the things we do depend on is donations of eight-ply wool,” Dianne says. “We get a lot of deceased estates and all sorts of wacky wool, but we go through it — and nothing goes to waste.

We find a use for it, even the super thick wools. We will make something up and then raffle it and buy more wool.”

“Anyone that’s homeless or cold can come into the library and ask at the desk and they’ll be given a blanket or a free beanie. The girls make the beanies as well,” says Dianne.

When Orange City Life spoke with the Purlers last Thursday, they had nearly completed 100 wraps already this year.

In 2024, the group managed to complete 705, which was just shy of their highest tally of 713 in 2022.

The Purlers are always happy to welcome new members to the group and Dianne says you don’t even need to know how to knit.

“We’ll teach. We have patterns, we have the wool, we have the needles, so we can provide them with everything they need if they come in and want to learn,” she says.

“The group’s wonderful. I love the girls.

They all get on well together and it’s very beneficial. You feel wonderful when you help people and I mean there’s so many people in need. If you’ve got the skills, use them!”

The Orange Purlers meet at the Orange City Library from 9am-12pm every Thursday. If you would like to support their efforts, they’d greatly appreciate donations of 8-ply yarn (wool or acrylic), which can be left with the library staff.

The Orange Emulators are taking a squad of 20 players and spectators to the Golden Oldies Rugby Festival in Singapore this April 6–9. Pictured are Wayne Mendham, Robyn Mullen, Kylie Daniels, Fenis Tyrie, Sarah Ash, Dave Sandercock, Merrilyn Mendham, Murray Reay, Clive Walker and Rob Nevins.

“Adventure before dementia”

Emus ‘Old Boys’ take on the world in Singapore Orange Emus Rugby Club’s ‘Old Boys’ squad are bound for Singapore in April, where they will compete against teams from all over the world at the Golden Oldies Rugby Festival.

Emulators President Rob Nevins said.

The Orange Emulators, as they are known, will be among 160 teams competing at the biennial festival, which is being held in Singapore from April 6–9.

It’s all about having fun and playing the game you love with friends, Rob said.

“This will be the ninth year, so it’s been 18 years the Orange Emulators have been sending a contingent over,” Orange

“This year, we’re taking 20 players and spectators of all ages from over 35 – that’s the criteria – up to that high 70s and most of them in the upper end of that than the lower end.”

Golden Oldies rugby is played using a modified ruleset that accounts for age and ability.

“It’s always a great get-together of rugby teams from different parts of the world,” he said. “And we like to get in and play as much rugby as we can. We’ve got three scheduled games under our

own name, but a lot of our players will hop in and play with other teams while we’re over and give a bit of help. Just to catch up with everyone and have a beer afterwards.”

As well as the rugby and post-game socialising, there’ll be plenty of time for sightseeing, and Rob said many of their contingent have plans to explore other countries in the region.

That is certainly part of the appeal, say Murray Reay and Clive Walker, who have been attending Golden Oldies Rugby Festivals for the past 20 years.

Together they’ve played rugby in Scotland, Japan, Argentina, Wales, and New Zealand, as well as two Australian-

based festivals in Sydney and Perth.

“For me,” Clive said, “it has been a chance to see a fair bit of the world, which I would never have done but for being involved with this. If we hadn’t gone to Wellington [New Zealand-born Clive’s first Golden Oldies festival in 2006], I wouldn’t have travelled to all these places like Japan or Argentina.”

“But we just like going,” added Murray.

“It gives us time to visit another country and have a look around, meet up with all the old players from all around the world that we’ve played against and played with. It is just good to get on the field, have a good yarn and then have a few drinks!”

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

A

n Australian National Maritime Museum exhibition exploring the legends and cultural history of Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait) is now on display at the Orange Regional Museum.

Mariw Minaral (Spiritual Patterns) showcases the work of acclaimed visual and performance artist Alick Tipoti across multiple media, including sculpture, carvings, linocuts, masks and film.

New exhibition explores the legends and cultural history of the Torres Strait

This stunning exhibition contains some of the finest examples of Alick Tipoti’s intricate work, and Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair, Cr Marea Ruddy encouraged everyone to come along.

“It is a rare opportunity for us to see works by such an internationally renowned artist right here in Orange, whose work not only gives us a valuable insight into the cultural history of his people, but also spreads a message of ocean conservation,” Cr Ruddy said.

With more than 25 years of artistic practice, Tipoti is widely recognised for his dedication to revitalising ancient cultural knowledge and

language as both a regional advocate and cultural custodian.

Tipoti’s work employs complex background designs, disguised among ritual objects and land and sea creatures, offering his depictions of their environmental and spiritual world.

“My art,” Tipoti has stated, “is based on legends of the Torres Strait where I depict my interpretations of the land, sea, sky and the many different living creatures and spirits that exist here. I use my art as an educational tool, teaching people about important cultural events, practices and beliefs from the past.”

Australian National Maritime Museum Director and CEO Ms Daryl Karp described Alick Tipoti as a master contemporary artist whose work resonates throughout the world.

“This exhibition, from the Australian National Maritime Museum collection, offers a wonderful insight into his intricate and beautiful work, revealing some of the stories and elements from the rich culture, lands and seas of Zenadth Kes,” she said.

Mariw Minaral will be on display at Orange Regional Museum until June 15

Molong Women’s Wellness and Wellbeing Weekend:

Reconnect, Restore, and Revitalise — BY EMILY THOMPSON —

A

s the crisp air of autumn settles in, the Molong Women’s Wellness and Wellbeing Weekend invites women to embrace the seasonal shift with mindfulness, movement, and community connection. Scheduled for March 28–30, 2025, in stunning Molong, this retreat offers a holistic approach to health, blending ancient practices with modern self-care techniques.

Themed “Autumn Release,” the retreat is designed to help participants realign their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being as they transition into the new season. The weekend is curated to provide a nourishing experience, incorporating yoga, meditation, dance, breathwork, and an energizing drumming circle. The focus is on preventative

health, encouraging attendees to take an active role in their wellness while fostering a supportive and uplifting community.

A key highlight of the event is the presence of Ayurvedic wellness consultant Robyn Lynch from Cowra, who will be leading meditation sessions. Ayurveda, a holistic system of medicine, emphasises a balanced lifestyle to promote overall well-being. According to Lynch, Ayurveda is not just a practice but a way of life, helping individuals achieve harmony within themselves and their surroundings.

Organiser Jackie Christopherson shares her personal journey with Ayurveda, explaining how she discovered the practice during a time of personal health struggles. “I came to the practice when my health was in a bit of a slump—I

was looking for direction somewhere in an alternative way,” she says. Inspired by the positive transformation it brought to her life, she is passionate about sharing these benefits with others through this retreat.

Attendees can expect a deeply immersive experience, with nourishing food, expert-led sessions, and a chance to reconnect with themselves in a tranquil environment.

By the end of the weekend, participants will leave feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and equipped with tools to maintain their well-being long after the retreat concludes.

For those seeking a weekend of self-care, empowerment, and connection, the Molong Women’s Wellness and Wellbeing Weekend is an event not to be missed. To learn more and register, message Sandy on 0429 696 225.

Central West Veterans

Week of Golf The Central West Veterans Golf Classic has been run and won for another year.

There was a full field of 215 golfers representing over 60 clubs form as far north as the Gold Coast and down to Canberra and Tathra in the south. This year there were 80 new participants who were exposed to the hospitality of the region as they vistied Bathurst, Duntryleague and Wentworth clubs.

At our presentation night, on Thursday last, over 240 golfers and their partners wined and dined at the Orange Ex-Services Club and were the recipients of the largesse of our many sponsors.

This event does a superb job of advertising the wonders of our district to a wider community as well as bringing in over two hundred veteran golfers who spend their money here on accommodation, food, beverages and entertainment, but it would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors.

Shining a light on the people who put the food in Food Week FOOD Week’s signature events, like next Friday’s Night Markets and the vineyard dining experience Forage, may capture much of the attention around Orange’s long-running food festival, but with more than 70 events over ten days there is so much more to discover, says Food Week President Charlotte Gundry.

From long lunches to private fly fishing experiences, live music and hands-on workshops, there is something for everyone. But at its heart, FOOD Week is about celebrating the food produced right here in our region. It’s why, each year, the festival puts the spotlight on some of the many amazing farmers and producers in our region.

“So ‘Shine the Light’ events are designed to showcase our local producers alongside a local Chef or local winemaker to try and show how products can be partnered or cooked or prepared in a sort of collaborative sense,” Charlotte explains of the handpicked series of “show, tell and taste” workshops taking place in the CWA Hall in Robertson Par between March 30 and April 4.

In the spotlight this year are local boutique olive oil producer Molly’s Grove, Second Mouse Cheese Co. Thornbrook Orchard and Hillside Harvest Orchard and Produce Store, Trunkey Bacon and Pork, Beekeepers Inn, The Orange Fermentary, Franklin Road Preserves, Spilt Milk Gelato, Argyle Australian Saffron, and popular country cook Sophie Hansen “They’re kind of small, intimate workshop-type events where people can learn about a product or a pairing of a product. There are usually small tastings where people can sample a little bit of the product and then obviously hear about how it’s made or grown,” Charlotte said.

“A lot of our events are geared around hospitality or celebration-type lunches or forages or markets and those sort of things, but this opportunity is a little bit different, it’s fairly informal but also more informative and educational.”

Anyone interested in attending one of the Shine the Light on Local Producers better grab their tickets fast as some

sessions have already sold out, Charlotte said.

“We probably will open up a few more tickets to each of them, but there’s a couple that have sold out and been pretty popular, which is a really positive sign,” she said.

But with more than 70 events in the ten-day FOOD Week program, there are plenty of opportunities to get out and sample the amazing fresh produce of the Orange Region.

“There’s fruit preservation and apple pie workshops, fermented drinks with Orange Fermentory, a cider-making workshop, a hop-on hop-off bus from the Visitor Centre out to all the Cargo Road Wineries, which sounds great,” Charlotte said.

“There’s lots of different types of things happening this year, which I think is great, really nice opportunities to go and explore the region.”

Little stars walk for a cause!

OPS ‘Stars of Orange’ fundraiser for the Cancer Council

O

range Public School students laced up their runners and hit the walking trails of Elephant Park on Friday Morning, supporting their teachers’ fundraising efforts ahead of this year’s Stars of Orange dance spectacular.

Thirty Orange Public School staff members have agreed to take part in this year’s Stars of Orange, the annual Cancer Council fundraiser where local business and community leaders step out of their comfort zones and perform a big dance number to a crowded Orange Function Centre.

Orange Public School staff are hoping to raise more than $10,000 for the Cancer Council over the next seven weeks and kicked off their fundraising with the school Walk-a-Thon on Friday.

“The OPS staff will be coming together

to strut our stuff on the dance floor at the Function Centre, which is definitely something that is outside the box for a lot of our staff members,” said Orange Public School teacher, Jack Daintith.

“We’re targeting about $10,000 to raise for the Cancer Council… every child here has raised ten dollars each towards the walk-athon. So, just by doing these little things, it definitely helps.

“And our walkathon today is getting everyone active, it’s something to bring the school together and have a bit of fun and enjoy this sunshine as well. It’s lots of fun!”

The 30 staff members, including Principal Brad Tom, have been rehearsing weekly in preparation for the May 3 event, but Mr Daintith wasn’t giving too much away about the performance.

“We’re not going to tell what we’re doing just yet, but Mr. Tom is in it and he has got quite an important role in our dance as well.

ART REVIEW

By Bradley Hammond, Orange Regional Gallery Director

Brett Whiteley and the Central West

A

major exhibition from the Art Gallery of New South Wales, ‘Brett Whiteley: Inside the Studio’ presents a fascinating insight into the studio practice of one of Australia’s most gifted and revered artists.

Orange Regional Gallery is the only NSW venue to offer this remarkable survey that will run from 22 March to 9 June 2025.

Whiteley had an intimate connection with the Central West and produced many remarkable and iconic works in our region. Orange Regional Gallery has an impressive work in our permanent collection titled ‘Yellow Willow, Carcoar’ which the Art Gallery of NSW have included in this exhibition.

Works such as To Yirrawalla (pictured) are also featured in the exhibition and convey the essence of the central west landscape that Whiteley so loved, as Gavin Wilson wrote: “The minimal atmosphere of ‘To Yirrawalla’ conjures up a late winter scene in a paddock somewhere in the New South Wales central west. The desiccate landscape appears to barely sustain life, apart

from tiny birds, insects and exotic blue vegetation.

Surprisingly the stream running through the bottom portion of the picture harbours a life-size platypus, a favourite hybrid creature of Whiteley’s, perfectly adapted to its demanding environment. As well, the artist’s deft deployment of stones, a tree branch and collage all play a part in activating or heightening visual intrigue. The only hint of modernity is a bitumen roadway negotiating its way through the top left corner of the painting. The work was a precursor to such celebrated paintings as ‘River at Marulan’ 1976 and ‘Summer at Carcoar’ 1977.”

Drawn from the collections of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Brett Whiteley Studio, this exhibition presents a selection of Brett Whiteley’s works across various media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, collage and ceramics. The exhibition will be presented in our recently completed Gallery Extension and will accompanied by documentaries that will run continuously throughout the exhibition in our Gallery Theatre.

The exhibition is open daily from 10am to 4pm (Closed Good Friday) until 9 June 2025. Free Entry.

The South Pacific Titles are set to ignite the Orange Kart Club this Saturday and Sunday, with $10,000 in prizes up for grabs over two days of thrilling racing action.

Orange Kart Club hosts 2025 South

T

he South Pacific Titles are back and set to ignite the Orange Kart Club this Saturday and Sunday, March 22–23.

Motorsport legend Sir Jack Brabham triumphed at the event in 1958, and thanks to the foresight of founding member Max Stewart, the legacy lives on at the Orange Kart Club.

Karting in Orange dates back to the early 1960s, with the first dedicated track established in the late ’60s and subsequent upgrades in the ’70s and ’90s.

of thrilling racing action. The event will feature a zero-points system, paying homage to its retro roots, with qualifying rounds, three heats, a prefinal, and final.

Seventy-two years after the inaugural South Pacific Motor Racing Championship, the Orange Kart Club continues to honour its heritage as the custodian of this iconic meeting. Originally held at the Gnoo Blas Racing Circuit, the South Pacific Championships were a pivotal round of the Australian Drivers’ Championship.

During the 1970s, the South Pacific Titles attracted international acclaim, featuring elite drivers such as Fullerton, Yip, Pizarro, and Ingall. More recently, motorsport stars including Mark “Frosty” Winterbottom, Marcos Ambrose, Jamie Whincup, Mark Webber, and Tim Leahey have graced the circuit, adding to its storied past.

Today, the Orange Kart Circuit is considered one of Australia’s premier kart tracks. Former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber himself declared Orange his favourite karting venue, cementing its status in the motorsport world.

Classes include: Novice, Rookies, Junior Light and Heavy, 4SS Light, Medium, and Heavy, Senior Performance Mid, and TaG Restricted Mid.

The 2025 South Pacific Titles promise to be bigger than ever, with $10,000 in prizes up for grabs over two days

The Orange Kart Club committee welcome fans to join them at the Orange Track for this unmissable event.

Where there is a Will there is a Relative Chapter 3 of the Succession Act 2006 in NSW allows certain ‘Eligible persons’ to make Application to the Supreme Court for a ‘Family Provision Order’.

The Act sets out what may be considered by the Court to make an Order providing additional provision out of the Estate of a deceased person if the Court is satisfied that, at the time the Court is considering the Application, adequate provision for the proper maintenance, education or advancement in life of the person in who’s favour the Order is to be made (the applicant) has not been made by the Will of the deceased person.

Charles Henley

Simply because you are a relative of the deceased, or think that the provisions of the Will are unfair or were not what you expected, may not mean that you are an ‘Eligible person’ to make a claim. A spouse, defacto spouse and a child of the deceased are ‘Eligible persons’. Grandchildren can also be eligible if they can show they were at some stage financially dependant on the deceased. Other persons who were at some stage members of the household and dependant may be entitled to make a claim.

However, being an ‘Eligible person’ does not guarantee that such claim has some prospects of success.

In every instance you should obtain advice from a solicitor experienced in this area of the law and any claim must be brought within 12 months of the date of death.

LET’S TALK MONEY

with DANIEL MCGREGOR

W

THE TRUMP EFFECT!

hat can I say about Donald Trump? Well, to be honest, there’s probably a lot I could say… but love him or loathe him, we can likely all agree that he has been a oneman wrecking ball these past few weeks!

Many assumed that Mr Trump in charge of the US would be good for business and therefore good for financial markets. But as the headlines are screaming out, the markets are not happy.

And when you don’t know what you don’t know, it can be very easy to start feeling overwhelmed or unsure about what’s going on and how it might affect you. And you know what, that might just be how the stock markets are feeling too.

So, what’s happened to get us here?

Over the past twelve months or thereabouts, many stock markets around the world, including the Australian market, the US (including the NASDAQ [their tech stock exchange]) have been

steadily climbing, getting higher and higher, with some reaching all-time highs.

When a stock market reaches new highs, it gets nervous, it starts to look for any reason to take a step backwards i.e., sell some stock. This almost always happens, where it’s not a matter of if but when.

Enter Mr Trump, with his crazy tweets, tariffs, sackings, and much, much more. He has created many headaches, but most of all, he has created a high degree of uncertainty, and markets hate uncertainty – especially when markets are at or near all-time highs!

As a result, we have seen a broad selloff of many global financial markets. The media, of course, have run with this hard, trying their best to create fear as they always do.

But like always, it’s important to gain some perspective. If we look at the NASDAQ, it’s likely had the largest sell-off of all financial markets in recent weeks. Had you invested in the NASDAQ index twelve months ago, you would still have achieved double digit returns,

as of recently, because even though it’s taken a tumble, the NASDAQ had grown by more than 25% over 2024. It’s about perspective. And the facts and numbers paint a different picture than the headlines.

My message is the same as it always is. What’s happening now in financial markets is normal. Yes, financial markets are volatile, they have retracted the past few weeks thanks mostly to Mr Trump causing uncertainty, but they have done so having recently reached record high levels.

If we were to take a short-term view, most super accounts likely have less money than they did a few weeks ago, but if we take a little longer-term view, super funds have done very well the past year, as they have the past decade (even accounting for COVID!). If we take an even longer-term view, say twenty years, the returns of growth investments have been amazing… just like they always have been over any LONG-TERM period.

When it comes to super and investing,

there is one strategy that almost always goes wrong, and that’s focusing on the short-term. Yes, I know it can be hard to ignore everything you hear around you, but try and take a step back and think about what is the purpose of the information being delivered to you? Is it to shock and scare you or is it to help you make good financial decisions? I’d like to think you know your focus should be on the latter.

You don’t need to be the winner of the wealth building race. You do however need to finish the race and do so in time to one day replace your employment income when you finish up work.

Often, times of uncertainty are what prompt people to start wanting to plan for their financial future. If that’s you and you would like a free initial appointment with a local, independent financial adviser, then give me a call on 0411 484 464 or head to wealthtrain. com.au and book online.

Cheers, Daniel

Hank Spirek’s new exhibition explores everyday life on the city streets of Morocco In his new exhibition, local artist Hank Spirek delves into the everyday lives of people he observed on two recent trips to Morocco.

A lifelong artist, Hank studied painting and sculpture at Northern Illinois University and has since lived and exhibited work in five countries.

Currently a resident of Blayney, Hank’s new exhibition opens at the Artwork Orange Gallery in Lords Place on March 29 and features some 20 artworks

created as the result of trips to Morocco in 2018 and 2020.

“I probably spent about five months there and visited five different cities in Morocco,” Hank said.

“I wanted to get a good picture of what Moroccan life was like, not the cutesy sort of stuff that you tend to see people do, but what everyday Moroccan life was like.”

Hank said he was also keen to see for himself what life looked like in a predominantly Muslim country with such a vibrant history and cultural heritage. He spent most of his time

ARTWORK ORANGE GALLERY 241 Lords Place Orange Featuring artists of the central west GALLERY 241 LORDS PLACE ORANGE

Thursdays 3pm-6pm Fridays 3pm-6pm Saturdays & Sundays 12pm-5.30pm

exploring the narrow streets and plazas in the fortified centres of the old cities, finding his subjects in parks and while shopping at the medina souks.

“What I found were tightly knit families with the elderly women sitting on benches talking, mothers in a variety of robes looking after their young ones, old men sitting on benches discussing, I don’t know what. They were always friendly, and it seemed a cohesive sort of society,” Hank said.

Alongside his Moroccan work, Hank will also be exhibiting a number of new pieces exploring the creative process of musicians.

“The essence of music, more than a particular song. I’m really quite interested in how a musician comes upon their songs and what they do, how they do it. How a musician, like any artist, functions,” Hank said “I like listening to the music and looking at the scores and I see patterns that I think are quite remarkable.”

Hank Spirek’s exhibition, Morocco and More, opens at 12pm on Saturday, March 29 at the Artwork Orange Gallery, 241 Lords Place, Orange. The gallery is open from 3pm-6pm on Thursdays and Fridays, and 12pm-5.30 pm every Saturday and Sunday.

Presents:

THE HANK SPIREK EXHIBITION A unique collection of over twenty paintings by accomplished local artist Hank Spirek.

These works were inspired by Hank’s recent travels throughout the ancient kingdom of Morocco.

A diverse country positioned on the northwest corner of the African continent with a blend of European, Arabic and African cultures and customs.

In this collection Hank has captured the essence of Morocco and put it into his paintings while maintaining his distinctive style and use of vibrant colours.

Come and view Hank’s paintings and meet with Hank at the exhibition opening.

The Hank Spirek exhibition opens at twelve noon on Saturday 29th March at the Artwork Orange Gallery

TALES FROM MY MOTHER’S KITCHEN

Zucchini Slice

with EMILY THOMPSON

Why volunteer for anything? Why do thousands in Orange contribute time, skills and money to make Orange better. There are lots of reasons to volunteer. One mate told me he gets ‘God points’, a similar idea is Karma, that good works are rewarded by an impressed diety.

The flaw in ‘God points’ is that a God with the capacity to make the universe can’t be easily impressed, or be made to owe us something. It would be like taking $100 and then expecting praise for giving $0.50 back. Good works seem less ‘good’ if they are done expecting reward.

The Bible presents a different idea. God made everything there is, made you and me, and even died on the cross to pay the debt of our sins. That immense love and gift then overflows in those who accept that gift, wanting to reflect God’s goodness in whatever imperfect way we can. So please keep volunteering and doing good, not to obligate God but to reflect God. Reflect also on if the gift of Jesus is something you would accept.

Ingredients: Zucchini 3 medium, grated 1/4 cup grated cheese I appreciate everything the teachers, P&C members, and parent volunteers at our school do, but I’d rather stick my hand in a blender than actually help out myself. After a bad experience at our previous school, I simply can’t bring myself to volunteer and spend time at ours.

That was until I accidentally went out drinking with our cooking teacher a few weeks ago, and she mentioned that not only was NAPLAN coming up, with the lovely famed “NAPLAN breakfast”, but she also reminded me that breakfast club is held 3 mornings a week. And my baking would be gratefully appreciated.

What a glorious opportunity to indulge my lover of cooking, volunteer my time for something good and be connected to our school community in a way that didn’t require me to step foot on school grounds. Win- win for everyone. And so, for the last few weeks I’ve been whipping up fruity and protein rich breakfast items suiting a variety of dietary needs and enjoying every moment of it.

Except this week I’m tired. And so, I made packet mix muffins, bought pancake shaker pikelets and my mum’s zucchini slice. Because this week, easy and quick was the name of the game.

Also, like most gardeners in Orange, we have an overgrown veggie patch full of zucchini and my chooks are laying plenty of eggs. I made my slice gluten free so it’s lovely and inclusive for the kids, and it’s such a small amount of flour that it really doesn’t make a difference. Unlike my gluten free honey jumbles, that were not a success, this is delicious either way.

Adventure is back!

New-look Adventure Playground reopens

NSW MLC Stephen Lawrence and Deputy Mayor Tammy Greenhalgh cut the ribbon with Councillors Gerald Power, Marea Ruddy, Steven Peterson and Melanie McDonell.

I

t has been a long wait for our city’s little adventurers, but the new-look Orange Adventure Playground is open for play once more.

On Friday, Orange Deputy Mayor Tammy Greenhalgh was joined by NSW Labor MLC Stephen Lawrence and Orange City Councillors in officially reopening the playground following the completion of the $2.5 million upgrade.

The long-awaited upgrades focused on the main play areas and central meeting area, with a key feature being the installation of a water play area and a new splash park.

Orange Mayor Tony Mileto said he was delighted to see the new upgrades to the facility and thanked the NSW Government for its support of the project.

“The Adventure Playground is one of the most

popular play facilities in Orange for families from across the Central West and I’m thrilled to see this amazing new facility, which will be enjoyed by children of all ages for many years to come,” Cr Mileto said.

Parts of the original playground that were suitable for reuse were included in the new design, including the Liberty Swing, wooden turrets and other timber features.

NSW MLC, Stephen Lawrence, who was there on behalf of NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully, said the new Orange Adventure playground is sure to deliver decades of family fun.

“I’m sure members of the community will be pleased with the results,” Cr Mileto said.

“The original playground served the community well for 22 years, but they were well overdue for an upgrade,” Mr Lawrence said.

“The space has been transformed, breathing fresh life into park so it can remain a family favourite for decades to come.”

The original playground had provided decades of enjoyment, but after years of use and exposure to the elements, it was rapidly deteriorating.

V

The upgrade was designed by Civille Pty Ltd after consultation with the community and the original Adventure Playground committee in 2022 and 2023.

The project was completed by Daracon Landscaping and its contractors.

Funding for the upgrade came from three NSW Government grants and Orange City Council: $1.256 million – NSW Government’s Resources for Regions Program; $400,000 – NSW Government’s Stronger Country Communities Fund (splash park); $485,280 – NSW Government’s Places to Play Grant; $388,000 – Orange City Council.

MOLONG’S LEGACY OF AUSSIE MATESHIP AND RESILIENCE: FAIRBRIDGE CHILDREN’S PARK REOPENS!

R

ecently, I had the honour of attending the reopening of Fairbridge Children’s Park in Molong, a tribute to nearly 1,000 British child migrants who arrived in Australia between 1938 and 1974.

Though many faced tough conditions, these children went on to contribute immensely to our nation.

The park, designed by landscape architect Leonard Lynch, is a beautiful tribute to their legacy and has been fully restored after the 2021-2022 floods.

A $150,000 contribution from the federal government also funded the War Memorial, honouring the 90 Fairbridgians who served in the armed forces.

Thank you to Derek Moriarty, President of the Old Fairbridgians Association, for organising this event, and congratulations to Jimmy Napper (96),

Maggie McLauchlan (92), and Daphne Appleby for cutting the ribbon. A big thank you to Cabonne Mayor, Kevin Beattie, the Fairbridge Children’s Park management committee, and all those who attended. A special shoutout to ABC’s Macca (Ian McNamara) for being part of this important celebration!

as a child migrant through Barnardos.

Reflecting on Fairbridge Farm, I’m reminded of my own grandmother, a “Lost Child of the Empire” who came to Australia

If the Fairbridge children, my grandmother and so many others could overcome such great challenges, so can we.

My Nan arrived with nothing, married a jackeroo from western NSW, raised five children, lived through the Great Depression, witnessed three wars, and saw a son sent to Vietnam. Despite her challenges, she helped to shape and build this country.

HAPPY 10TH BIRTHDAY GOSLING CREEK RESIDENTIAL AGED CARE!

B

lowing out the birthday candles was none other than Betty Weale. Soon to turn 100, Betty has been at Gosling Creek since the very beginning. Her son Chris Weale joked that if Betty keeps living her best life, he may soon be moving in too!

It was an honour to be part of this special celebration and to help open the new library room, aptly named "Betty’s Book Nook."

Having been part of the opening of Gosling Creek Aged Care in 2015 with just 8 residents, I returned with great

pride to celebrate 10 years later with 77 residents. What an achievement!

One of the keys to Gosling Creek’s remarkable success is the outstanding leadership and camaraderie of its dedicated staff.

A huge thank you to Brian Mooka, the staff and all the service providers who work tirelessly to care for our precious members of the community.

To Betty, all the residents, families and wonderful staff at Bolton Clarke Gosling Creek Aged Care, congratulations and wishing you many more happy days ahead!

SUPPORTING OUR VETERANS

A

s Minister for Veterans Affairs, I condemned the government’s disgraceful failure to fund veterans’ entitlements and threatened to resign over it.

FL legend Paul Roos dropped by our office recently to meet the team and fire us up for the election!

Thanks for stopping by Roosy! We really appreciated chatting to you! It was terrific to see you in the central west!

As a result I secured funds to clear the backlog of 60,000 veteran compensation claims and properly support the men and women who serve our country.

And thank you for your wonderful contribution to the sporting life of Australia!

Orange Property MARKET

Trade and Service of the Week

Ezy Rock Tops

takes advantage of market gap to deliver quality bench top products A gap in a market to someone is an opportunity to another and taking ownership of a problem is how Orange-based stone masonry business Ezy Rock Tops came into existence.

Ezy Rock Tops manager Jamie McDonald explained his parents Patricia and Graham McDonald operated G & G Joinery in Orange for almost 40 years.

Almost exactly 15 years ago, while Graham was still operating G & G Joinery, Jamie said Graham had “had enough” of problems with manufactured stone bench tops and the equivalent coming from Sydney.

So, Graham decided to do something about it and the kitchen and bath contractor Ezy Rock Tops began.

Ezy Rock Tops has Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology via the Intermac Master 33 machining product and a water jet cutter, an industrial tool capable of cutting a wide variety of materials, including stone but also glass and steel.

“Dad decided to buy the machinery so we could start doing it ourselves,” Jamie said.

“It’s almost exactly 15 years since the first set of bench tops were actually made.”

With the CNC technology, Ezy Rock Tops can assist with kitchen, bathroom vanities, laundry bench tops and barbecue areas manufactured from engineered stone.

The business can also support household renovations and has worked with major

building companies in the past.

Problem-solving is also part of the business, be it an actual problem or a perceived issue.

Jamie noted a lot of previous negative press about silica being in stone, with the CFMEU and eventually governments banning engineered stone containing silica due to the threat of silicosis.

However, there were two reasons this was never a risk to Ezy Rock Tops or its customers.

The first was that Ezy Rock purchased CNC machinery and the water jet cutter to negate any possible side-effects of silica.

So, with quality technology and quality craftsmanship in place, what does good service mean to Ezy Rock Tops.

“Prompt service … good communication and most importantly keeping the client involved in the process from start to finish and attention to detail,” Jamie said.

“Nowadays, a kitchen can be one of the more expensive parts of building or renovating a house.

“When a stone product is put in, people expect good quality.

“With the CNC machinery and the tools at my disposal, I’m able to deliver that.

The second is that suppliers pivoted when governments intervened and came through with a silica-free alternative fast.

“We can help anybody.

“I can be doing existing renovations to an existing home, or doing a new build.

Ezy Rock Tops products are now all made from silica-free engineered stone.

“It could even be a fireplace mantle, a barbecue area … we can do it all.”

Undermount sinks, butler sinks, drain grooves and flush mount appliances plus more are also achievable with Ezy Rock Tops.

Orange-based stone masonry business Ezy “I use CNC Rock Tops uses advanced technology to machinery, provide quality finishes like this table. everything is done under For more information, please contact Jamie water,” Jamie explained. at Ezy Rock Tops on “There was never a health risk to me, or to ezyrock.orange@gmail.com or the consumer.”

CROSSWORD

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

THUMBS UP to the new Adventure Playground. Absolutely nailed it! Kids give it a rating of 200/10.

THUMBS UP to Peter and the team at PFC, for their delicious food and friendly service. I thoroughly recommend their chicken schnitzel burger.

THUMBS UP and thanks to lovely nurse Scout at Ambulatory Care, Orange Health Service. She attended to my procedure in a very competent and caring manner… a good experience and outcome, and made my day.

THUMBS DOWN to the driver at 12:20pm on Sunday, March 16, for almost hitting me near Waratahs. Keep your eyes on the road, moron!

THUMBS UP to Damian and Dez

from Davis Removals who were doing a furniture delivery to Port Macquarie last week. Near Merriwa, an older couple had a flat battery: they got them going and left their portable battery jump pack with them just in case. The couple would mail it back when they’d arrived at their destination.

The guys continued on. Great work!

THUMBS DOWN to the delivery courier, and the person who stole my wife’s expensive parcel… something she had worked hard and saved for. From the photo, it’s clear the courier didn’t even try to hide the package. Five people were home at the time, yet he did not knock and, within minutes, it was taken. To the parcel thief, may your conscience haunt you until you make amends.

THUMBS UP to the white ute on Anson Street near the Ex-Services that was speeding last Thursday at 1:15pm, then yelled at me when I was crossing. Slow down – it’s a 40 zone.

THUMBS DOWN to 105.9 Star FM for advertising the Carrie and Tommy Show. I’m sure people don’t want to hear constant advertisements to listen to a 1-out-5 show.

THUMBS UP to Thi at Trendie Nails.

She is a master at her trade. If you show her a screenshot of something online you’d like, she’ll make it happen every time.

THUMBS UP When visiting a very sick friend in hospital, I needed a Bible to read to her. Thumbs up to Gideons, for making Bibles available to take from the chapel of Orange Medical Centre (Hospital). It was such a comfort.

THUMBS UP to Sebastian who sang at a weekend wedding. He went for hours and had a great sound, great range of songs. You added to a perfect occasion.

THUMBS UP to Mark at Orange

Trike and Private Tours. The half-day wine tour was a fabulous time touring three of Orange’s wineries. Mark was full of information, which made the day a lot of fun. The wineries were great… particularly Word of Mouth who supplied us with a mouth-watering meat, cheese, and fruit platter, thoroughly enjoyed in their beautiful rustic surroundings. A huge thank you to my family who gave me and a friend this day as a birthday gift, one I will not forget.

THUMBS UP to the management and staff at Peisley Street Flame Grilled Chicken for supplying fish and chips to take away for forty people. Everyone I dealt with were courteous, friendly, and efficient. The order was ready at the agreed time, even though the shop was extremely busy with other customers. The staff member delivered the professionally packaged trays to my car. The fish and chips were delicious, crisp, and hot when served fifteen minutes later. The large crowd of diners were very impressed with their evening meal and extended their thanks to all concerned in providing the delicious fish and chips.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange Taxis.

We tried to organise four taxis to meet our coach at the railway station on Friday at 3:30pm. Eventually we made contact with a pre-recorded message that could not accept the railway station as an address.

Finally one taxi turned up, and he did not want to radio for any other taxis… he wanted us to wait for him.

THUMBS UP to the person who handed in my debit card at Aldi on March 7, and also to the Aldi staff who were very helpful. I am immensely grateful.

Your honesty and thoughtfulness is much appreciated.

THUMBS UP to the incredible staff at Nature’s Academy Childcare. The team are all so kind and nurturing to the children, and extremely supportive to the families. Special mention to the wonderful educators in the Budya Budya room, who daily go above and beyond to ensure my son’s additional needs are met. He is thriving in your care and I am so grateful for your ongoing support!

THUMBS UP to the staff and volunteers at Orange Ex-Services Country Club who put on a bare foot bowls night for Orange Hawks Rugby League Club last Friday night. We thank you for a really good night.
