Congratulations to Jessica Crawford, who has been named the 2025 Local Woman of the Year. It was after losing her unborn baby, Lilly, just 22 weeks into her first pregnancy, that she decided to honour her daughter’s memory by making sure other families grieving the loss of a child received the care and support she had. She also works to take away the taboo surrounding pregnancy and infant loss, to encourage women and their families to seek support. You can read more about Jessica’s story inside.

Food Week continues this weekend with another packed few days of events. It all wraps up this Sunday with the Producers Market and Brunch in the spectacular setting of Cook Park. Looking at the forecast, Sunday promises to be a spectacular autumn day, so well worth heading out with the family to enjoy brunch in the park and stroll the market for yummy local goodies to take home.

Don’t forget daylight saving time comes to an end this Sunday, April 6.

Although most mobile devices these days automatically adjust the time, for those with analogue clocks, turn them back one hour at 3am, which will then be 2am standard time. While I am one of those who enjoy the extended summer evening daylight, it is surprising to read about the many negative impacts of the twice-yearly change of time, from increased hospital admissions to more car accidents. The pros and cons have been debated for as long as it has been around, but it will be interesting to see how long daylight saving stays with us.

New DA lodged for larger 1350-seat stadium grandstand

T

he grandstand at the John Davis Stadium at Orange’s new Sports precinct will be among the biggest in the central west, following extra funding added to the project by the Australian Government.

With the Australian Government contributing an additional $15 million to the sporting complex project in January, Orange City Council revised earlier plans for a 1000-seat grandstand, adding additional seats, plus two corporate boxes.

The new development application was lodged last week and shows a grandstand with 1350 seats, plus two corporate boxes with uninterrupted halfway line viewing that can accommodate up to 20 people each.

The design also allows for temporary corporate areas for premier events.

Orange Mayor Tony Mileto is pleased to see blueprints for a larger grandstand.

“The Council has heard the clear call from the community for a larger grandstand and the new designs reflect that change,” Councillor Mileto said.

Compared to the earlier designs, the new grandstand will be wider to make room for extra seats. The new design will also include two glass-fronted rooms designed to operate as ‘corporate boxes’ for major events.

“While the new stadium will mostly host Orange region fixtures, it is designed to ensure it can cater for marquee games and events.”

Cr Mileto said heritage considerations are always going to be crucial when it comes to gaining planning permission, as the sports precinct proposal is right alongside the Bloomfield health precinct.

The updated sports complex plans also show a new amenities block for the athletic track alongside Huntley Road.

“That’s why the low profile of the grandstand is important,” he said. “It’s a two-storey building, but only the top level will be visible from Forest Road.”

It is expected the stadium project will go out to tender in the coming months, as the planning approval process progresses.

Work is progressing on-site with grass already being mowed on the first four of eight new sports fields and the laying of

6 ORANGE CITY LIFE | APRIL 3 — 9, 2025

turf on the next four fields has also been completed.

While the Western Regional Planning Panel has already given overall concept approval for the project, the design of key elements has reached the stage where planning permission is needed for buildings and other structures.

Updated plans submitted with the state planning portal last week were for: • 1350-seat grandstand and the 10,000-person capacity John Davis Sports Stadium • An amenities building with a canteen and storage facilities that will be next to the athletics track grandstand • Field lighting for the eight new sports fields • Two new car parks • Landscaping masterplan Orange City Council Recreation and Culture Committee Chair Cr Tammy Greenhalgh has welcomed the latest progress.

“It’s great to see the new fields already being mown. It’s looking like a place where we can imagine sport happening,” Cr Tammy Greenhalgh said.

“It’s great to be seeing more steady progress on the precinct site at the same

time as we’re seeing movement when it comes to the next steps of gaining planning approval. I’m also pleased to see the latest plans for the new amenities block located near the eight new sports fields will include a canteen.”

Member for Calare Andrew Gee said the huge impacts of this $15 million federal funding boost are now becoming a reality.

“It gets us a larger 1350-seat stadium, corporate areas and a new amenities block for the athletics track – amongst other upgrades such as road sealing,” Mr Gee said.

“It means the original vision for the project has not only been saved and revived but is becoming a reality. This sporting precinct will be a game-changer for sport not only in Orange but the Central West.

The NSW Government has committed $59.5 million and the Australian Government has committed $15 million under its Growing Regions Program to the Orange Sports Precinct project.

Expressions of Interest from contractors wanting to be considered for the project has also opened. In April, a shortlist of construction companies will be selected before the project goes out to tender in May.

Garey Family Racing: Former speedway champion Mark Garey and grandson Logan Willis

Little speedway star Logan following in grandpa’s wheel tracks Six-year-old Logan Willis is on his way to becoming a speedway champion, taking a hard-fought third place in his first outing in the NSW Outlaw Kart Club Championship on March 23.

Racing in the Junior Boxstock division in Round One of the NSW Outlaw Kart Club Championship at the Lake Liddell Speedbowl, Mussellbrook, young Logan showed no fear as he fought his way through the pack in the feature race.

“He started the race back in fifth position and came through the field to strongly challenge for second position,” proud grandfather Mark Garey said of Logan’s performance.

Logan first got behind the wheel of his diminutive speedway car only in late February, but Mark said he already shows promise — and he should know.

A driver himself, Mark has raced at most speedway tracks around the East Coast and won a National Quarter Midgets title and numerous titles in Wingless Sprint cars.

“He’s got a bit of potential, he loves

chasing cars down, he’s settled in really well to the machine,” Mark said.

“The age group he races in is basically from 6 to 8 years old, so he’s right down the bottom of the scale age-wise and height-wise. He’s racing against kids that have been racing in other forms of karting and outlaw karts for a couple of years as well so he’s quite inexperienced and for his level of experience, he’s doing incredibly well.”

Mark admits he might have given a little encouragement to Logan’s interest in racing, but says he has taken to it with great enthusiasm.

“The rest of my daughters and granddaughters are not much interested in speedway, but he absolutely loves it!”

Mark said.

“He watches a lot of videos with me.

He has taken a big interest in what I used to race and he’s always asking me to put YouTube videos of when I used to race, so he’s got the bug!”

Logan’s next outing will be at Round Two of the NSW Outlaw Karts Championship at Kurri Kurri Speedway on Saturday, April 5.

Good luck, Logan and Garey Family Racing!

LOCAL WOMAN OF THE YEAR

A

n Orange mother on a mission to support families dealing with pregnancy and infant loss has been named the 2025 Local Woman of the Year.

It was after Jessica Crawford lost her unborn baby, Lilly, just 22 weeks into her first pregnancy, that she decided to honour her daughter by making sure other families grieving the loss of a child received the care and support she had.

Jessica is also a committee member of Better Births Central West, a position she took on with the hope of bringing advocacy, education and positive change to the birth experiences of women in the Central West.

Member for Orange, Phil Donato, presented Jessica with her award in Cook Park on Monday.

“This award means a lot to me and to my family and I’m super proud of this,” Jessica said. “But I also feel like receiving this award is helping to inch away at the taboo surrounding pregnancy and infant loss, which to me is the biggest impact we could have for our community.

“It helps to get the name out there and inspire women and their families to come along to support groups and find that village when they’re going through some of the roughest times of their lives.”

Orange City Rugby Union Club President Darren Wooding and Orange Emus President Charlie Henley have brought their clubs together to host a freed violence prevention session with speaker Dave Kramer, a behavioural scientist and ambassador for Small Steps 4 Hannah, a charity dedicated to breaking the cycle of domestic and family violence.

Rival rugby clubs unite to host violence prevention speaker Dave Kramer Orange City and Orange Emus Rugby clubs may be rivals on the field, but off it, they share a common goal of seeing an end to domestic and family violence.

At the Orange Civic Theatre on Wednesday, April 9, the two clubs are hosting a free violence prevention and education session with behavioural scientist Dave Kramer.

In February 2020, Dave’s friend Hannah Clarke and her three children were murdered by her ex-partner Rohan Baxter.

Since their death, Dave has dedicated his life to empowering individuals to create safe, equitable, and inclusive homes,

workplaces, schools, and communities.

A sought-after keynote speaker and ambassador for Small Steps 4 Hannah, Dave delivers impactful addresses on topics such as masculinity, genderbased violence prevention, respectful relationships, and fostering safe community behaviour.

It was after hearing Dave speak at an event in Albury that Orange City Rugby Union Club President Darren Wooding immediately set about bringing him to Orange “His story is heartbreaking. I found him so inspiring. He puts it in words that connect really well with men like myself and I walked away from it and thought, I’ve just got to get this guy in front of our clubs and our community,” Darren said.

Orange Emus President Charlie Henley

said his club had independently invited Dave to come to Orange, and so he got in touch with Darren about the two clubs working together.

“Dave’s story is incredible and I think it’s a story that young blokes in particular need to hear,” Charlie said.

“It was a no-brainer, really, to get him to come out and to speak to two sets of members on one night as opposed to two different events. Both clubs put down their guards, we can leave that for later in the year and let’s get him down for the betterment of both of our clubs and the community.”

The two clubs have split the costs of hosting the information evening, with Orange City Council providing the Orange Civic Theatre at no cost for the event.

“To get Orange City and Emus to agree

to anything is a huge effort, but we’ve put all that aside for the betterment of our players and our communities,” Darren said.

“It’s all about that awareness and a little bit of education. It’s up to guys like Charlie and myself as leaders within our clubs to show that we’re moving ahead in society and some things aren’t tolerated anymore, and we do need to be mindful of how we treat each other, and Dave communicates that really well.”

An Evening with Dave Kramer: Violence prevention and education will be held at the Orange Civic Theatre, 6.30–9.30pm on Wednesday April 9. This is a free event and all are invited.

Tickets are available via Humanitix or scan the QR Code.

An event 360 million years in the making!

Calling all fossil enthusiasts! Canowindra’s remarkable Age of Fishes Museum is hosting a very special presentation this April 14 by leading evolutionary biologist and palaeontologist, Dr Alice Clement.

Dr Clement, a self-described lungfish enthusiast, received her PhD from the Research School of Earth Sciences at Australian National University in 2012.

Her thesis investigated spectacular Australian lungfish fossils from the Devonian period some 360 million years ago.

Dr Clement currently works as a Research Fellow in the Palaeontology Group at Flinders University, Adelaide, where she continues her work on lungfish and fossil brains, but also investigates other “lobe-finned” fish such as coelacanths and

Leading evolutionary biologist and palaeontologist, Dr Alice Clement, of Flinders University, will be giving a special presentation on “The Devonian Age of Fishes” at the Canowindra Bowling Club on Monday, April 14, at 6pm.

Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for people to present their own fossils for identification.

“tetrapodomorphs” – the first fish to develop limbs and walk out onto land.

The Age of Fishes Museum at Canowindra contains many significant, rare and unique fossil treasures from the Devonian period. The fossils were accidentally found in 1955 when the Council was grading a road 11 kilometres from Canowindra. A local beekeeper notified the Australian Museum of the find, and in 1993, 80 tonnes of some of the finest fossils in Australia were unearthed at the site.

Broadcaster and biologist, Sir David Attenborough visited the Canowindra museum in 2013 and described the fossils as “world-class” because an entire freshwater billabong had been perfectly preserved.

The Canowindra species include fish with five

fingers in their fins and lungs and gills in one body; characteristics were exhibited by some of the first animals to move from the water onto land.

Dr Clement is visiting Canowindra with palaeontology students from Flinders University to explore the now fenced-off fossil site.

The presentation on “The Devonian Age of Fishes”

by Dr Alice Clement will take place at the Canowindra Bowling Club on Monday, April 14, at 6pm. Following the presentation, there will be an opportunity for people to present their own fossils for identification.

Tickets are $15 and RSVP is a must. If you are interested in attending contact the Age of Fishes Museum as soon as possible by email or fish@cabonne. nsw.gov.au or call (02) 63441008.

O

range residents are being warned of a Facebook scam that’s on the rise across Australia.

“The supposed offers range from $250 for a mixed selection of meats, up to $545 for half a butchered cow or pig.

Posting in a local community Facebook page, an Orange woman warned that their grandmother had fallen victim to an apparently fake online butcher offering to home-deliver bulk meat packs for a low price. The woman said her grandmother had paid $250, but the meat was never delivered, and her profile was blocked by the seller on Facebook.

“Buyers are urged to pay via bank transfer, but are blocked from the page once payment occurs and the meat never arrives.

Warnings raised over fake butcher Facebook scam

“Don’t fall for this and please warn the older generation, as I know they aren’t as good for recognising scams,” the woman wrote.

“Scrutiny of the reported profiles reveal many are less than six months old and are operated by administrators of other known scam pages, with photos stolen from legitimate butchers based locally and overseas.”

The Western Australian agency believes that many more people are being ripped off than has been reported due to the relatively small amount of money lost, but this scam could generate substantial profits for those behind it.

Consumer Protection agency ScamNet issued a warning to the public after a growing number of reports from victims.

Looking into the fake butcher profile in question, Orange City Life discovered that it had been created just weeks ago on March 11. There is no indication of the business location anywhere on the profile and a quick reverse image search found that photos on the profile had been taken from the Facebook pages of legitimate Australian butcher shops.

Consumers are urged to look out for red flags, such as: prices being too good to be true; no location listing, and demanding payment via bank transfer.

“Consumer Protection’s WA ScamNet team has received growing reports from victims who have lost up to $500 each to the scams, in which fake butcher or ‘farm-totable’ profiles are posting in local community pages offering to deliver bulk meat at low prices,” the agency stated in a media release.

Almost identical scams have been reported across Australia and in late February the Western Australian

MY STOPPING WIND FARMS IN STATE FORESTS BILL HITS PARLIAMENT

I

n Parliament recently I introduced my Bill that will prohibit wind farms being built in State Forests.

planning laws.

It comes after extensive community consultation and feedback.

In 2021 when the NSW National Party and their candidate for Calare, Sam Farraway, voted in the State law to put wind farms in State Forests, they did so without properly regulating and setting out the rights of impacted residents and neighbours. The result of this glaring failure to pass proper laws is conflict and controversy.

I recently attended meetings in Sunny Corner and Yetholme where the Sunny Corner State Forest wind farm proposal was unveiled.

It’s the same story with the creation of Renewable Energy Zones and EnergyCo, the NSW Government company that’s building the power lines.

I was very concerned by what I saw here. These turbines are very close to many residential homes, in some cases a mere one kilometre away. I was surprised by how big the impact will be on these residents.

The National Party put all of this in place without properly consulting with local communities and without passing laws which clearly protect people’s rights and regulate who can do what and where.

It seems to me like the developer has placed the turbines at locations which will cost them the least but these locations will also impact local residents the most.

Rather than pretending to ride in on white horses, the National Party should be apologising for the conflict they’ve caused by not doing their jobs properly when they were in government.

It’s called the Stopping Wind Farms in State Forests Bill 2025.

It’s the same around Oberon.

These wind farm developments are coming at local residents like a freight train down the line. This would be the quickest and simplest way to stop them in their tracks.

The Bill is now before the Parliament and I call on all the major parties to get behind it to stop wind farms in State forests and support our communities.

There is a way forward to clean up this mess.

I can’t support these developments.

I am not against renewable energy. Like many things in life, it’s all about finding the right balance.

To me it’s very clear that the controversies and conflicts that communities are having as a result of renewable projects is because of the failure in politics and politicians.

The problem is that wind farms are regulated by State

My Bill would override loose State laws and ensure that wind farms in the Sunny Corner State Forest; the Vulcan State Forest; the Mount David State Forest; the Gurnang State Forest and Canobolas State Forest will not go ahead. This applies to wind farms at Sunny Corner, Oberon and Orange but the Bill stops wind farms in all State forests.

CRIMINAL BEHAVIOUR CONTINUES

S

upporters of my campaign are still reporting that criminals are trespassing onto private property and stealing campaign signage.

STEALING MY GAS RESERVATION POLICY – COALITION COPY-CATS DO IT AGAIN!

T

he current cost-ofliving-crisis is having devastating impacts on people right across our communities. Australians shouldn’t have to choose between heating their homes or feeding their families.

The bolts which hold the cage onto one of my campaign trailers were also recently removed.

This means that if it wasn't discovered, it would have fallen off the trailer, potentially endangering the lives of road users.

This criminal behaviour is disgraceful and I hope the perpetrators face the full force of the law.

For months now I've been championing a national gas reservation policy to stop the current price gouging in the energy sector.

CCTV footage of criminals stealing my election posters in Orange

This would give Australians first access to our gas to bring prices down.

How could it be that in a country with such a large supply of gas, we have been selling it to China cheaper than to Australians? It’s price gouging.

It turns out my gas reservation policy has proven quite popular, because last week the Coalition announced it as their election policy, just like they plagiarised my housing policy! You can't make it up!

As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. But I think it shows who's leading the way in Parliament on a whole range of local and nationally important issues.

DESPITE ELECTION SWEETENERS BUDGET LEAVES A BITTER TASTE LOCALLY

T

he Federal Government has handed down its Budget and it has proven to be a big disappointment for the Central West.

While there were some predictable election sweeteners such as tax cuts and energy bill rebates, the Budget will leave a bitter taste locally because it was a fizzer for Central West infrastructure.

And while $7.2 billion has been committed to regional road infrastructure, the Great Western Highway didn’t receive any funding at all. How could that possibly be?

The traffic jams are worse than ever.

The Budget has also failed to address the rural doctor shortage crisis.

These are all shocking oversights.

ORANGE ELECTORATE OFFICE 1/179A Anson Street PO Box 673 ORANGE NSW 2800

Concerningly, the budget is also back in deficit which shows that the nation’s credit card is once again being maxed out.

I introduced to Parliament banning foreign buying of residential property for two years, after having voted against it previously.

And while the Government has also frozen the beer tax for two years, this will only lock in sky-high schooner prices. The beer tax should be axed.

While the Government is guilty of policy theft, this initiative, which I brought to the Parliament, has now become the official fully funded policy of the Australian Government. I think it shows who’s setting the pace on housing policy in Canberra!

On the plus side, there is help for student debt repayments, with those on the Higher Education Loan Program to get a 20% reduction in their debt.

And in childcare there are now at least three days a week of subsidised early childhood education and care, which I voted in favour of and support.

Policy plagiarism was also a feature of this year’s Budget.

During his Budget speech, the Treasurer confirmed that the Government has adopted and copied the Bill

(02) 6361 7138 andrew.gee.mp@aph.gov.au www.andrewgeemp.com.au

The Budget papers also confirmed that the Government is committed to mandating that businesses must accept cash when providing essential items. This again copies parts of the Bill I introduced into Parliament last year to Keep Cash King in Australia.

While there are clear election sweeteners, the sour taste of this Budget’s glaring local omissions simply can’t be ignored.

$10,147 raised at Total Health Orange’s first Stars of Orange fundraiser Lime and Stone cafe, Molong, was the venue for Total Health Orange’s first Stars of Orange fundraiser held on March 21.

The team from Total Health Orange are among 10 groups and individuals taking 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.

“It is a cause close to all of our hearts and we want to fight for a cancer-free future,” Total Health Orange Director and Occupational Therapist Sarah Davis said.

Both of Sarah’s brothers were diagnosed with testicular cancer in their 20s and she wants to use this opportunity to encourage young men to be mindful to complete regular checks.

“Testicular cancer is most prevalent in men in their 20s and 30s and is also one of the most treatable forms of cancer.

However, it is often not spoken about a lot,” she said.

“Both my brothers received treatment early and have gone on to live healthy and happy lives, and have families of their own. This highlights the importance of such fundraisers and the value of The Cancer Council.

Unfortunately, many are not as lucky as my brothers, and we have all unfortunately lost loved ones to this

LET’S TALK MONEY

with DANIEL MCGREGOR

AVOID THE BIGGEST INVESTMENT MISTAKES FEES

Most people want to start investing at some point. Yet most people aren’t sure how to get started, what to do and how to avoid mistakes.

Once people do make the decision to invest, they often pay too much in fees, unnecessarily. It’s tricky because they don’t teach these basics at school and so the investment world has been able to create the perception that fancier, higher-fee products will yield better results. It’s almost always the opposite. This is true of both your superannuation (which we all have to have!) and investing outside of super.

So, I thought I’d run you through the biggest investment mistakes people make in the hope you can avoid them…

TIME Often one of the biggest mistakes is not starting early enough. Most people underestimate how much they need to invest to achieve their goals in life and it’s made all the more difficult by not getting started early.

If you’re thinking you may have left you’re run too late, don’t think about the past, just get cracking now!

EMOTIONS Another common mistake is not sticking to a plan. When people let their emotions guide them, greed and fear often lead to people buying and selling at the wrong times and deviating from what they originally planned

to do. One of the biggest parts of my job is to take the emotion out of investing for my clients.

DIVERSIFICATION In terms of what investments to buy, it’s important to keep an open mind and be willing to learn. We all know the saying “don’t put all your eggs in one basket”, yet many people limit their investments to things they think they understand or things that make them feel comfortable. In some ways, when it comes to investing, it’s important to get out of your comfort zone and embrace ideas you weren’t previously familiar with.

THE BIG ONE There is one mistake that is the biggest of

all… not investing!

Don’t let analysis paralysis stop you from taking the first step. You just have to get started. And the easiest way to do this is to get your super right, as we are all investors through our super EVERY TIME we get paid.

Start small, invest regularly, keep costs as low as possible, diversify and stick to the plan. Do these things and you will create wealth… it’s not magic, it’s not rocket science… it’s creating a plan and putting it into action.

If you would like help with a plan for investing and value financial advice being independent, let’s have a chat. After all, the right financial advice is not an expense, it’s an investment!

Restraint of Trade (Non Compete) Clauses These types of clauses are topical as the current government has heralded possible policy changes in the 2025 federal budget that may remove or reduce the effects of these restrictive clauses in employment contracts on the basis that it may assist to free up the industrial relations environment for a variety of arguable benefits.

It is worth noting the United States removed such restraints approximately one year ago.

Restraints at common law are prima facie void as against public policy (ie a restriction on freedoms), however, in NSW the Restraints of Trade Act 1976 (NSW) reverses this presumption where they are presumed valid until proven otherwise, in which case they may be void OR can be written down by a Court to ensure they are lawful (ie reasonable in their protections and effects).

There are 3 types: 1.

2.

3.

Non-Compete restraints (employee/selling business owner is not permitted to do anything that competes with the business in question Non-solicitation restraints (ex employees/ex business owner is not permitted to encourage other employees away from that previous business) Non-disclosure clauses (confidentiality)

Until there are definitive changes to the existing law in NSW the clauses that are in use must be tightly drafted and must ensure they comply with reasonableness of protection requirements in all respects.

Factors to keep in mind are: Legitimate protectable interests, Restraints must not be any more than is reasonably required for that protection, Duration, Geography, Activities prohibited, Nature of the industry, Seniority, Payment (if any), Influence of the person in question, Defining confidential information etc.

These clauses are technical in nature and will be valid where they comply with legal requirements which may place restrictive burdens on the person agreeing to them. You should consider legal assistance in drafting them or interpreting them for signing documents that have included them.

Gallery hosts exhibition of works by iconic Australian artist Brett Whiteley An exhibition by one of Australia’s most beloved and successful artists, Brett Whiteley, is open at Orange Regional Gallery.

The Art Gallery of New South Wales touring exhibition Brett Whiteley: Inside the Studio offers audiences a fascinating insight into the studio practice of one of Australia’s most gifted and revered artists.

Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair Marea Ruddy said Orange was the only venue in NSW to present this major exhibition from

the Art Gallery of NSW. “It is an honour for Orange Regional Gallery to be chosen to display such a significant exhibition of Whiteley’s works and shows how highly regarded our state-of-the-art gallery is in art circles across the country,” Cr Ruddy said.

Drawn from the collections of the Art Gallery of New South Wales and the Brett Whiteley Studio in Sydney, the exhibition presents a selection of works across various media, including some of Whiteley’s most

FUTURE OF HISTORY: Australian National Maritime Museum Curator Matt Poll, Australian Associated Press journalist Stephanie Gardiner and Orange Regional Museum’s Public Engagement and Education Officer, Sally s MacLennan look forward to presenting History Futures.

A program showcasing career pathways for high school history students will be held by Orange Regional Museum on Thursday 1 May. History Futures is a one-day workshop designed for students from years 9 to 12 interested in history, but unsure how studying the subject can contribute to a career when they leave school.

Orange City Council’s Recreation and Culture Policy Committee Chair, Cr Tammy Greenhalgh said the intention of the program was to show students studying history could lead to jobs and highlight the

iconic paintings, drawing, sculpture, photography, collage and ceramics.

Rarely seen archival photographs depicting Whiteley at work (and sometimes at play) in studios in London, New York and Sydney show some of the artworks in various stages of completion, offering a glimpse into his creative world.

The exhibition also includes a playlist of songs drawn from Whiteley’s vinyl record collection, highlighting the significant role that music played in his creative process.

• Stephanie Gardiner – Australian Associated Press journalist

“Some careers have clearly defined pathways, but many don’t,” Cr Greenhalgh said.

• Dr Stephen Gapps – Historian

The program will feature three guest speakers who have studied and used history in their lives: • Matt Poll – Australian National Maritime Museum curator

“This exhibition brings together some standout paintings as well as some lesser-known gems to give viewers a real sense of an artist at work,” he said.

Brett Whiteley: Inside the Studio will be on exhibition at Orange Regional Gallery until 9 June.

‘HISTORY FUTURES’ SHARES PATHWAYS TO CAREERS

skills learnt studying history were also useful in other areas.

“Many careers exist for history students, from professions in the galleries, libraries and museums sector to journalism and law. But how do you get there? We’re hoping this program can help.”

Art Gallery of New South Wales curator, Brett Whiteley Studio, Nick Yelverton says Brett Whiteley is one of the most instantly recognisable names in Australian art.

The day will begin with a forum at Orange Civic Theatre where the guest speakers will share their career journey and experiences where their historical inquiry skills have served them well.

The panel will then discuss the value of history, opportunities in regional Australia and take questions from students.

The second part of the day will involve a rotating set of four 40-minute workshops and tours,

such as a behind-the-scenes Museum tour, source analysis session, Mariw Minaral curator tour and learning support session.

Places are limited.

Students interested in attending should talk to their history teacher or careers advisor. Teachers are encouraged to book in a class or a group of interested students.

ORANGE PUBLIC SCHOOL CELEBRATES new Yarning Circle and garden

O

range Public School officially opened its new Yarning Circle and garden at its Anson Street site on Friday, March 28.

The project, which has been in development for over 12 months, was brought about through a collaboration between the school’s Aboriginal Education Committee and community members.

The new space features a circle of sandstone blocks

and two large garden beds planted with a range of Indigenous plants. Artwork by Sandon Gibbs-O’Neill, a proud Nhunggabarra artist residing on Wiradjuri Country in Orange, is displayed above the Yarning Circle.

Parents, carers, and community members attended the opening, which began with a traditional smoking ceremony performed by Elders, Uncle James Williams and Aunty Julie Armstrong. The opening was followed by a morning tea featuring bush tucker,

prepared by Gerald Power from Indigenous Cultural Adventures.

“This project is a wonderful opportunity for our students and the broader school community to learn about and appreciate our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures,” Orange Public School’s Aboriginal Education Leader, Renee Woodward, said.

“By creating a space for yarning, we foster understanding, respect, and connection to the land and its history.”

It will also provide better access between the central school buildings, basketball and netball courts, and the lower-level sporting oval with a connecting staircase and lift facilities.

Orange Anglican Grammar School principal, The Reverend Louis Stringer, said it is an exciting time in the history of the school.

“This is a solid investment in a permanent

infrastructure that creates a linchpin between the primary school to the north and the secondary school. It also demonstrates to our growing population and neighbourhood that we’re here to stay,” Rev Stringer said.

Orange Anglican Grammar School has experienced significant growth in recent years, with student numbers increasing by 10 per cent in the last 12 months alone.

“And so these classrooms and buildings will facilitate that growth in the school,” Rev Stringer said.

“The bottom level will be sports equipment, the middle and top floors will be a mixture of primary and secondary classrooms, and the Trinity building will also have a viewing platform at the top looking down onto the oval. We’ll be able to orchestrate activities such as the athletics carnival and cross country carnival and anything else that’s going on down the oval

from a control tower up there.”

students about giving service to others.

Zauner Construction will begin initial earthworks during the Easter school holidays, and the Trinity Building is expected to be completed by the end of term one next year.

“Our older students set up stalls and provide the activities for the younger students to enjoy. It’s a day of bouncy castles, fun and games, lots of play, culminating in a chapel service in the afternoon.”

Just as investing in physical infrastructure is important, so too is investing in community, Rev Stringer said, pointing to the upcoming Easter Fair that has become a much-anticipated event on the school calendar these past nine years.

“We recognise that when we do community really well, that we also achieve academically very well.” he said “So, whilst we’d been investing in academic success for many years, we thought it would be great to establish an Easter Fair, which would continue to grow our thriving school community.”

The Easter Fair is also a way to teach

Coinciding with the Easter Fair on April 11, Orange Anglican Grammar School is holding an Open Morning, where community members can take a tour of the school grounds.

There will be two school tours, at 9am and 9.30am, which are open to anyone who wants to come and have a look, Rev Stringer said.

“It’s a great opportunity for people who haven’t seen Orange Anglican Grammar School to come on in, have a look at the classrooms and the facilities at large, and get a sense of our school community in action.”

THE GOOD ENOUGH PARENT

WITH EMILY THOMPSON

I’m writing this while sitting at the lake. The water’s a little green, and the trees are starting to shed their summer leaves, but it’s still my favourite place in Orange.

I’ve got so much to tell you. First of all, Miss 10 lost her jumper on the second day of school this year, so I told her this might just be a new record. She’s very excited and proud about that, but is somewhat cold. She also got a principal’s award for “attentive listening” at assembly last week, where I audibly said “wtf” as the better mum in front of me swivelled to glare at me.

I have to assume it’s either a case of mistaken identity, or a tired teacher who’s dealing with burnout by taking the p***. Good to know her teacher has a sense of humorous irony.

Miss 16 is learning to drive, and luckily, she already knows everything so teaching her is extremely easy.

These 120 hours are just going to fly, I think. Literally, because she won’t slow down for roundabouts so we do actually get a little airborne. She then tells me to “chill”.

I don’t yet know what I’ll do for a career post-journalism, but we can rule out driving instructor.

Last week I was in a hit and run, and rather than doing the sensible thing and calling the police, I found out who had hit me, where they lived and waited for them to come home so I could confront them. I am absolutely not recommending this course of action, and I’m lucky it was a panicked older lady and not someone high and armed.

24 ORANGE CITY LIFE | APRIL 3 — 9, 2025

And so, I’m sitting at the lake attempting to meditate, as my counsellor feels this is a better way of dealing with my anger at the world than trying to get into knife fights on the streets of O-town. Because I am unwell, and it’s a bit worse than anyone had originally thought. I have an incredibly curable form of cancer, but by the time they removed it the tumour was large and had spread. So there’s more treatment ahead and it’s a bit hard, but I’m still 100% sure I will die from tripping over Miss 10’s shoes that she leaves in the doorway at the top of the stairs rather than from this.

My beautiful friends stepped up in the most wonderful way while I was recovering from surgery, and organised meals for us for five full weeks. Other friends took Miss 10 for playdates, sent care packages from afar, visited when I most needed it and baked much appreciated school snacks for my girls. I popped the very last date muffin into a lunch box this morning and I’m so grateful for everyone who stepped up to help. I also can’t thank work enough, both Orange City Life and the Sydney paper I write for, for allowing me to work as much or as little as I needed to. Lastly, thank you to my beautiful husband, with whom I’m about to celebrate 19 years of marriage. He has taken care of me and us and I couldn’t do any of this without his help.

And so, as I sit in the sunshine and watch the ducks swim, I think I’m just about ready to re-enter the world.

Thanks for waiting for me, and be careful on roundabouts near L-plated drivers.

MUSIC MATTERS

with RUTH THOMPSON The Walkman Cassette player and later the CD Walkman, were an icon of 1980’s culture. It was technology that revolutionised the way we listen to music from a shared experience with transistor radios and record players, to perhaps a more solitary personal experience with the added bonus of headphones.

Music enjoyment had become personal, portable and private.

CANDLELIGHT CEREMONY FOR NURSES’ GRADUATION

A candlelight ceremony marked the graduation of nurses at Orange Base Hospital in December 1963. Matron Agnes Field was joined by special guest Miss E Shaw, the former matron of Crown Street Women’s Hospital. The graduates were: Denise Simpson, Elaine Scanlon, Anne Kershaw, Joyce Shepherd, Leone McNaught, Margaret Hicks, Grace Hewitt, Helen Shaw, Myra Pascoe and two male graduates Robert Dunn and Terence McGrath.

CROSS

purposes THE BIG PICTURE

During the past 30 years or so that I have been a practising music specialist in the classroom, I have witnessed many changes in technology – technology that once sat on the far fringes of our culture, has now migrated to the centre of our lives. Personally, I had to learn how to transform my huge CD collection to a more durable digital mp4 – playing my curated selection on my lime green Ipod Nano (very cool) for almost 10 years until it became obsolete and was no longer cool.

Now Spotify on my iPhone, gives me access to this collection and much more at the tap of Pointer finger!

Recorded music has always had a place in my curriculum, knowing that a carefully selected piece of music could contribute in so many ways to my student’s development. It could change the mood, the pace, the atmosphere of my classroom; it could lead to movement strategies; improved aural discrimination; offered exposure to different cultures and genres to name a few.

One of the most exciting outcomes, that happens subconsciously, every time a child listens to a piece of music or a song, is the development of executive function ie increase in working memory, attention and

self-control and flexible thinking.

Imagine this.

A child listens to a song or piece of music that is unfamiliar. The brain immediately steps in to firstly do an overall impression.

Next it moves a little more deeply and begins to analyse the music – to discover something more about it – perhaps the structure, the beats and rhythmic patterns heard, how the music makes them feel. Am I feeling happy or sad?? Do I need to move? All this happens subconsciously. But the next step is truly remarkable – the brain now begins to compare and contrast this music with something heard previously, already stored away. Finally, and what a leap, the young child’s brain will then predict where this music will go; what path will it take melodically, or instrumentally. These final two steps – compare and contrast and then predict – can only happen if a child is exposed to a musically rich environment: the younger the better.

Something to ponder perhaps when you pop in those AirPods, for your ‘unparalleled wireless headphone experience’ to consider making it a shared experience with your little ones.

Not only will this build connection, but their brains will thank you. Their later learning will be greatly enhanced, creating, storing, and retrieving stored information, setting up neurological pathways as smooth highways rather than potholed dirt tracks.

So, what music will you choose?

It is all at your fingertips ready to press “Play”.

Sincerely, Music Matters.

Ruth Thompson is an award-winning early childhood music specialist. For more information about her Early Years Music School, visit: www.eyms.com.au

Have you ever wondered about the value of reading the Old Testament (OT) in the Bible? I have read it several times and started again in Genesis (first book) at the start of the year. Genesis means ‘origin’ and it tells us of the beginning of everything, except God - the beginning of the universe, humanity, marriage and family, languages, life and death, sin and salvation – just to name a few. The first few chapters set the foundations of how God purposed life to be.

The Bible and life can be like a jigsaw puzzle. When I first open up the box, it’s a big jumble, but I envision the end result and set to work piece by piece till I see the picture come to life. As I worked on a jigsaw and read Genesis, it showed me afresh that the ‘big picture’ of the Gospel, the Good News of the New Testament (NT), is firmly rooted in Genesis history. What is said about God in the OT is said about Jesus in the NT. Reading all of it helps us to see how things fit together.

Easter (soon to celebrate) itself is prophesied in Genesis.

Ticket Giveaway Thanks to Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Orange City Life has two family pass tickets to give away!

Win a Family Pass and Hop on into Taronga Western Plains Zoo this Easter!

I

f you’re after a great value family adventure this Easter school holidays, look no further than Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.

Take advantage of the autumn weather and get out and about in the great outdoors. See animals from around the world, including Asian Elephants, Lions, Meerkats and more as you explore the Zoo’s 5-kilometre circuit and meandering paths.

“Be sure to stick your neck out at the Giraffes,” Zoo Director Steve Hinks said. “We welcomed four youngsters into the herd late last year and the coming months will be the perfect time to see them. You might also catch a glimpse of a fifth calf currently being hand-raised behind the scenes by zookeepers.”

Zoo guests can learn all about the animals and see them up close during daily Keeper talks and animal feeds. There are 11 Keeper activities daily these school holidays, all free with your zoo ticket.

“There are plenty of reasons to visit the Zoo this Easter,” Steve said. “You can hear from our expert keepers about Black Rhinos, Cheetah, Otters, Tigers and many more species that call the Zoo home.”

“This April, you can also let the kids trail their way around the Zoo on bikes, following the new Red Energy LifeSaver Superpower animal trail.”

On arrival at the Zoo, collect a trail map and follow the trail to discover the lifesaving impact Taronga’s Wildlife Hospital has on Zoo animals, wildlife, and its support of conservation and science programs.

Complete the trail for a chance to win an overnight stay at Taronga Zoo Sydney or Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo.

To make your family safari egg-stra special this Easter, try an immersive experience such as the Savannah Safari tour, a guided truck tour alongside giraffe, white rhino, zebra and eland; or head into the Lion’s den on board Pride Lands Patrol for a close look at the Zoo’s roarsome pride.

Two lucky winners will each receive a family pass (two adults and two children) to Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.

The tickets are valid for two days after entry, so you will have plenty of time to see all the zoo has to offer.

Behind the scenes encounters are also available daily – you can choose to stand tall with a giraffe, smile at a hippo, and meet meerkats, elephants and rhinos.

Tickets for all experiences cost in addition to zoo entry and are available via the Zoo’s website. Bookings essential.

Sound like an action-packed safari? Don’t worry, all zoo tickets are valid for two consecutive days giving you ample time to experience all that is on offer! You can even go around the Zoo circuit as many times as you like across the two days.

“If you miss something on day one, pop back the next day. Did the family have a favourite animal? Hop back to it,” Taronga Western Plains Zoo is open 8.30am-4pm daily across the Easter school holidays. For more information about planning a visit to Taronga Western Plains Zoo or to purchase your tickets online visit www.taronga.org.

“One option for termites may work in one house, but not in another. You have to be flexible.”

wner-operator of Eagle Eye Termite and Pest Control Craig Kramer prides his business on being both professional and personable.

Eagle Eye Termite and Pest Control has been in operation since 1998 is comprised of Craig, his son Billy, part of the team since 2016, and an eager apprentice Cameron.

All aspects of pest control are performed professionally, but Craig and his team also like to interact with their clients.

“It’s family run … I like that we have a family style,” he said.

“We can have a chat about the dog, the house, anything. It’s important to be personable.

“We do jobs properly and show respect, but there is also time for a laugh.”

He is also seeing European wasps reentering the city and surrounds.

One year, Eagle Eye Termite and Pest Control did about 250 wasp eradication jobs in Orange alone.

Professional and personable service at EAGLE EYE TERMITE AND PEST CONTROL wasps and other pests.

Regarding spiders and general pests, Eagle Eye Termite and Pest Control will perform a blanket treatment.

“There is a fair bit of termite activity around Orange,” he said.

If a spider is on one wall, Craig and his team will spray all immediate walls, to ensure the job is done.

“In my opinion, it stems from the all the new estates. Trees are knocked down for them, termites were living in the trees happily and the have to find somewhere to go.”

Craig estimated the Coptotermes acinaciformis (the subterranean termite) accounts for around 90 per cent of termite eradication jobs they attend too.

Subterranean termite nests are under the ground, and hence why use baits and chemical may be needed to successfully eradicate termites from a property.

Based in Yeoval, the team travels across the Central West.

The this most silent and insidious of household pests can often be found in Orange, in timber skirtings and other places.

In-ground monitors (either in-ground, inconcrete or in-wall) will be tested to find the best option.

There are three broad functions of the business, the control of termites, European

He said the belief that Orange is too cold for termites is an urban myth.

“I’ll do what I think is the best option for any individual house,” he explained.

Craig is a passionate Manly-Warringah fan in the National Rugby League, hence the Eagle Eye section of the business name.

“I normally cop a ribbing for that, it’s a good barb between people,” he said of supporting the Sea Eagles.

Fully-trained and accredited, the Eagle Eye Termite and Pest Control team are friendly, helpful and reliable.

He said while people can perform best control themselves, sometimes for safety it’s best to get an expert in who will have full protection and be able to fully eradicate pests.

“They’re starting to get prevalent now,” Craig said.

“You’ve got to be careful.

“When someone treats wasps in the eaves they usually have to use a ladder which only adds to the danger when wasps begin swarming. We have equipment that can reach most areas of a house “If they are the type of wasps nesting in the eaves or in the walls .. they will come out in droves, and you won’t be able to escape.

And they will continually sting.”

The business is experts in the removal of European wasps, priding themselves on clients never having to call for a second round.

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

A MASSIVE TWO THUMBS UP to Greg from NSW Train Link. I was on the last service back from Sydney on March 29 and had the connecting bus back from Lithgow. A friendly and safe bus driver and Orange local, I have never had such a nice public transport trip before. The team and the public are lucky to have you!

THE BIGGEST THUMBS UP to the whole team at Eye See Eyes, Midwest Ophthalmology, and Orange Family Medical Centre, for their wonderful care this week. What a wonderful group of humans… they have all coordinated this week seamlessly to facilitate me not dying early.

THUMBS DOWN to Australia THUMBS UP to Redbend

Catholic College, Forbes, for their kindness to our group from Orange who were visiting Thredbo in the Snowy Mountains. We arrived in the middle of a week-long All Schools Mountain Bike trials. The park where we were to have lunch was full of schools and their equipment. Redbend College cleared an area and tables provided chairs so our members could sit and enjoy lunch. Thank you again.

THUMBS UP to James Sheahan School children for their production of Bring it On at the Civic Theatre. It was so full of life and vitality. They dedicated Sunday afternoon for six months to perfect their dance routines and be fit enough to perform them a number of times over the weekend. Congratulations to all who participated.

Post, Orange City Council, and the eatery in Post Office Lane (Summer St, CBD). The litter, weeds and – now it’s autumn – the leaves falling, make the lane look messy, untidy, and very neglected. Not a good look, guys, not only for Orange residents, but also for visitors to our lovely colour city.

THUMBS DOWN Sounds

unbelievable but to the local car wash who completely wrote off a young lady’s first new car by using a high pressure hose internally to clean it!

Had to be towed away and was written off by her insurance company. She was devastated.

THUMBS DOWN to the road workers who stand in the street using foul language while kids are walking past on their way to school, and a little pre-schooler was standing at his gate to watch the digger and trucks. I am guessing it’s just normal conversation amongst men working but you need to be aware of who is around! Highly inappropriate in a residential street!

West Pathology in Kite Street. I needed to have some blood taken on Monday and she was working there all alone. Still managed a smile and took great care with me. Thank you.

department at Bunnings, very, very helpful. Thankyou.

THUMBS UP to the Forest Reefs

Tavern staff. They go the extra mile to make your visit special. Always quality food and drinks in a great rural atmosphere. Even locals arriving on horseback. If you haven’t tried it give

THUMBS UP to the lifeguard

employee at the Orange Aquatic Centre who was ensuring parents were off their phones and actively supervising their children at the children’s pool on Saturday, March 29.

THUMBS UP to the Forest Reefs

ladies who so ably catered for a recent funeral. Ladies, you excelled!!! The variety of home-made sandwiches, slices, and hot finger food was perfect for the occasion. Thanks, you added to a great celebration of life.

THUMBS UP to the amazing team THUMBS UP to Kate at Central

THUMBS UP to Kate in the paint

of doctors and nurses in both the ED and Cardiac Wards at Orange Health Service. Also, a big thank you to the team Aero Med for the attention I received whilst being transported to RPA again. Many thanks.

REGIONAL NETBALL photos by CEC TILBURG

The West/Central West Regional League netball competition took place over the weekend of March 29-30, 2025, at the Orange PCYC. This premier event showcased top talent from across the region, with teams from Orange, Bathurst, Dubbo, Blayney, Forbes, and Mudgee competing fiercely over the two days.

This Regional League not only provided thrilling matches for spectators but also served as a selection platform for the Regional State Cup later in the year. Players aged 16-22 had the opportunity to be chosen for the West/Central West Regional League team, representing the region at the state level.
