What beautiful autumn weather we had for the final weekend of FOOD Week. I was fortunate enough to be able to attend Forage on Saturday, which is a remarkable event when you consider the transporting and feeding of so many people over five kilometres and multiple vineyards. An amazing job from all involved! The whole tenday festival seems to have been a great success and brought thousands of people to experience what Orange has to offer. Congratulations to all the volunteers of the FOOD Week committee!

In our last issue, we brought you the story of six-year-old speedway star Logan Willis, who had early success in his debut at the NSW Outlaw Karts Club Championship. Logan’s proud grandfather, Mark Garey, informs us that Logan once again made the podium in an action-packed feature race at Kurri Kurri Speedway on Saturday.

Congratulations Logan, and good luck in Round 3!

HEAR THE GOOD NEWS!

Orange Family Easter Festival this Sunday

Orange’s long-running Family Easter Festival returns to Robertson Park this Palm Sunday, an afternoon of old-fashioned family fun, fairground games, music and much, much more.

The Easter Family Festival has been a much-loved annual event in Orange for more than 30 years. It is organised and run by volunteers from local churches and put on absolutely free so that the entire community can come together and celebrate Easter.

The annual festival is an event that’s much looked forward to, Orange Church of Christ pastor and chair of the festival organising committee, Jon Baker said.

“It’s been running for such a long time and a lot of people will come back year after year, even people who are not local will come into Orange just for this,” he said.

“The Christians of the community cer-

playing them with kids, because kids are not always used to these sorts of family games anymore, they are almost from a bygone era, so that’s really good to see,” he said.

tainly value it very highly, but, primarily, it’s just the churches of Orange creating a positive atmosphere and saying, Easter is good news for the community of Orange!”

John said this year’s Orange Family Easter Festival will be an afternoon packed with fun games, craft, music and much more.

“We have a main stage with a couple of bands that perform. This year we have a hip hip group from Sydney, Royal Priesthood… We have a craft tent, kids carpentry, bouncy castles, fairground rides, the scouts will be there, giant games in the centre, face painting, balloon modelling, giant bubbles, and all that sort of thing going on,” he said.

Popular with all ages, John said, are the old tradition games like the three-legged races.

“We often see grandparents enjoying

...There’s plenty going on. It will be very, very busy, so bring the whole family down and enjoy a fun afternoon and the Good News of Easter!...

“And the kids’ carpentry is something very different. Kids get to hammer in nails and all those things, but very safely, and often dads will come along and join in and chat with the tradies who are running all of that.”

There will also be a free sausage sizzle at the afternoon fair, but hot cross buns, fairy floss, and tea and coffee.

“There’s plenty going on. It will be very, very busy, so bring the whole family down and enjoy a fun afternoon and the Good News of Easter!”

The Orange Family Easter Festival takes place in Robertson Park on Palm Sunday, April 13, from 12pm to 3pm.

People of O-TOWN

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

I work three days a week at the DPI, although it’s not called that anymore, and I’m an author as well. I decided during covid that I was going to write a book because I kept struggling to find books about things that I wanted to read. So, I wrote about someone my age doing the things I do, and it’s set here in Orange. I have my second book coming out in December. I love that I achieved that, it’s gotten some great reviews and the community has been really supportive!

Who is your best friend and what do you like to do together?

I don’t have a best friend; I have a lot of close friends! Right now, as the kids are young, I love getting out to cafes- we will get to catch up after school, have nice drinks and drink them while they’re hot, and the kids get to play together and draw or talk.

It’s probably my favourite thing to do right now.

PEOPLE OF O-TOWN

I also have a beautiful group of friends to go running with, we often run in town and end up at a coffee shop and get to fit in a post-workout gossip or chat.

Leesa Ronald

What’s your favourite hidden gem in Orange?

I loved Jumbled but I don’t feel that it’s hidden, it’s definitely on the radar! I also love Groundstone but again not a hidden gem! Right now though, my husband has been getting into tennis and we love going to the Wade Park tennis courts and having a hit. It’s something fun and different to do outdoors together.

Forget the deep and meaningful answers to this question; what is one practical piece of advice you’d like to pass on to your children?

I think deep down I’d love to tell my kids to own themselves, and don’t forget to love.

But that’s deep and meaningful so for my young children right now it’s definitely just “don’t forget where you took off your shoes”.

They are just always losing them and I swear every day we can only ever find one shoe.

So, just keep track of your shoes please!

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

Either Emily Henry who is my favourite author or Mhairi McFarlane, who is another author I love. Then I’d love to meet and talk to someone like Michelle Obama- she’d be great. Lastly it would either be Annabel Crabb or Leigh Sales because they’re both incredible journalists, and I love their podcast, and they’d help my interview Michelle Obama and ask all the right questions.

What is your favourite book?

I absolutely love “Less” by Andrew Sean Greer- it won the Pulitzer a few years ago and I love it. It’s a bit more commercial/less fancy fiction that most winners but it’s just a beautiful story and there are so many lovely moments in that book.

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

That’s easy and without getting too political: “Less potholes, more fun!”

Chewy always ready to help out a good cause “I said, Why not? Absolutely, I’ll give it a go!” says 24-year-old Lachlan Thuaux, recalling the phone conversation in which he agreed to participate in this year’s Stars of Orange Cancer Council fundraiser.

Better known by the name “Chewy”, the cellar door manager at Heifer Station Wines says he’s always happy to help out a good cause, even if it does mean spending weeks learning a dance routine to perform in front of hundreds of people at the big Stars of Orange gala night at the Orange Function Centre on May 3.

“I always love helping people, that’s just one of my things. So if there’s an opportunity to do something good, then I’ll take it every time,” Chewy says, although he admits being surprised by the amount of work it takes to learn a full dance routine.

“You’ve got to go home and really practise and spend a lot of your personal time just going through it in your own head and re-watching the video you recorded and doing it over and over and over until you get each scene down pat,” he explains.

“It’s got lots and lots to remember, if you’ve never really danced before, but

Emily at DanceHQ is phenomenal.. she can just create a dance on the spot. It’s pretty awesome, but she is an excellent teacher and a great coach.

“And the crew at Dance HQ, all those girls, just pick everything up and just bash it out, while here I am just giving it a go.”

this Sunday, April 11. There will be prizes for the best-dressed cowboys and cowgirls and some truly epic prizes up for grabs for the winning trivia teams, including a privately catered meal from chef Richard Learmonth.

Prior to this, Chewy’s performance experience has been limited to a brief appearance in a high school Shakespearean production, but he’s not concerned about strutting his stuff in front of a big crowd, and apparently his parents agree.

“They say it’s what I’m born to do,” he laughs. “But, who cares? It’s all for a good cause at the end of the day, so you’ve just gotta put your personal nerves aside and do the best you can. I’m just going to have fun, put on a good show so we can raise as much money as we can.”

Chewy’s not giving anything away about his performance except to say it’ll be a lot of fun and a routine people should know.

For anyone who wants to throw a bit of support to Chewy and the Cancer Council he is hosting a Wild Wild West Trivia Night at the Heifer Station Cellar Door from 4pm

“That’s a pretty great prize!” Chewy said, adding that teams will be able to improve their chances of winning if they are also willing to open their pockets.

“Have fun, put on a good show, so we can raise as much money as we can”

“You’ll be able to buy answers for a donation,” he said. “Arancia Wood Fired Pizza are donating pizzas for the night, that’s included in your ticket price, and Michelle and Phil at Heifer Station are donating a glass of wine on arrival. It’ll be a great night!”

Tickets for Chewy’s Wild Wild West Trivia Night are available from Humanitix.com or by contacting the Heifer Station Cellar Door.

The 2025 Cruisin’ Along Car Rally prior to leaving Gosling Creek on Friday, for their tag-along trek to Tailem Bend.

2025 Cruisin’ Along Car Rally bound for Tailem Bend!

A small but boisterous group of adventurers taking part in this year’s Cruisin’ Along Car Rally left Gosling Creek on Friday, April 4, bound for the Murray River township of Tailem Bend.

The tag-along car tour was founded in 2009 and has raised more than one million dollars for local charities over the last 16 years. Run under the auspices

of the Rotary Club of Orange Daybreak, the rally has been instrumental in raising money to establish the Cancer Care Western NSW Cancer Care Lodge and it continues to fund vital clinical trials here in Orange.

Last year alone, the rally donated more than $50,000 to the local clinical trials.

Some thirteen vehicles are taking part in this year’s Cruisin’ Along Car Rally, which will head to the town of Tailem Bend on the lower reaches of the Murray River.

“It’s right at the end of the Murray River where it goes into Lake Alexandria, so it is a fair old journey,” rally coordinator Terry Davis said.

After leaving Gosling Creek, the rally was set to stop in West Wyalong, Hay, Ouyen, and then Tailem Bend, before returning via Mildura, Hay, and Condoblin.

“We do about 300 kilometres per day roughly, mostly dirt roads, but there’s an MG going, and a couple who’ll stick to the tar,” Terry said.

It was Terry’s brother, former Orange Mayor the late John Davis, who founded the Cruisin’ Along Car Rally and was the driving force behind its success for many years. Terry said they’ll be sure to keep up his legacy.

“John was our founding member and unfortunately, he passed away 18 months ago, so a little bit sad,” he said.

“But he was a great supporter of all the fun, and we’ll carry it on.”

But in particular, they spoke of the role food and cooking have played in creating connections throughout their lives. They spoke about the importance of continuing to make and eat the food from their home country, and the challenges of sourcing fresh traditional ingredients here. Their persistence and resourcefulness in growing and sourcing authentic ingredients to meet this need were evident.

Afterwards, guests spoke of being humbled by the stories they had heard and of insights gained into the lives of these two remarkable women.

To the delight of all present, Fifi and Sreynet each served a favourite dish, describing how it is made and its

Big things ahead for local swim champ

hen Freddie Littlejohn took part in his first school swimming carnival at eight years old, he had never before swum the length of a 50-metre pool. Now the young local champion swimmer has his eyes set on one day competing against the best in the country.

was in year two, he’d never swum 50 metres,” James said. “He enjoyed it and then had a drive to one day make it to state for a competitive event.”

A member of the Orange Aquatic Club, Freddie now trains three to four times a week – sometimes more ahead of a carnival and has tasted success at state and regional events.

This past summer he broke the 50m breaststroke record for Orange Public School, which had been set in 2018.

He also broke the district record for the 100 freestyle, which had stood since 2007.

After placing in all seven of his events at last month’s Western Carnival, 11-year-old Freddie was named 2025 Western Association Swimming Captain. He is currently with the squad in Sydney at the NSW Primary Schools Sports Association State Swimming Championships, April 10-11, where Freddie will be competing in the 200m individual medley, 100m freestyle, 50m freestyle, 50m breaststroke, 50m backstroke, 50m butterfly and as part of the relay team.

Freddie Littlejohn

“I want to make nationals and represent the squad,” Freddie said, when asked what is his next goal in the pool.

“He can’t go to nationals until he’s 14,” adds James, who certainly believes Freddie has the potential to go far.

It was that first school swimming carnival that gave Freddie the bug, says his father, James Littlejohn.

“He’s very driven,” he said. “He’s got the passion to want to keep doing it.

He’s got the ability to do it if he wants to keep going with it.”

THE GOOD ENOUGH PARENT

WITH EMILY THOMPSON

Monday morning (week 11 edition) 5.05 am: Miss 16 runs into my room and announces that it’s after seven and we’re running late. I try to calmly explain that she’s put her clock forward an hour instead of back, and it’s only bloody five am. She falls back to sleep immediately, but my middleaged body announces it’s time to go pee and also my knee aches. I get up to check work emails and instead waste two hours searching online for White Lotus spoilers.

7.05 am: Having done nothing productive yet, I wake the kids, who despite sleeping for an extra hour, are extra tired today. I briefly dream of calling in sick for everyone and spending the day on the couch with a blanket before remembering how busy we all are. I remind the children standing aimlessly in the kitchen that it’s breakfast time, like every other morning at this time for the last 16.5 years. This comes as a great surprise to them, and I leave them arguing about porridge while I shower.

7.15 am: I retrieve my hair dryer and

14 ORANGE CITY LIFE | APRIL 10 — 16, 2025

straightener from Miss 16’s room and she yells at me for invading “her space”. I eat dry toast because I can’t be bothered with anything else and announce we’ll get everyone coffees on the way, because surely the only person more over mornings than me is Miss 10’s poor teacher.

7.20 am: Miss 10 tells me that her cold has turned into a wheeze, and admits that maybe she’s been forgetting her preventative puffer lately. I am torn between annoyance, and wanting to wrap her in a blanket and hold her in my arms until she’s breathing properly again, and instead choose option three: I’ll pick her up at 2pm and take her to the doctor.

7.30 am: I make chicken and lettuce sandwiches, and carefully place them in lunchboxes with the salad side showing. That’s a prized skill that should have been in the parenting books, but alas my genius remains unrecognised and unappreciated. I hide muesli bars under the fruit.

7.42 am: I now remind pyjama clad children that they need to dress themselves in uniforms (another shocking revelation), and wistfully remember toddlers who were easier to get ready. Maybe I’m remembering that wrong…

7.58 am: Miss 10 (who is still in pjs) tells me she can’t find her uniform and maybe it’s in the car or something. I remind her that I made her put her washing away yesterday and the reason she can’t find anything is because it’s in her wardrobe.

8.10 am: I read the school emails and see that this week contains 2 assemblies, a BBQ lunch, an Easter hat parade, 2 excursions that I need to rob a bank to pay for, an athletics carnival and an end of term dinner. Miss 10 tells me her jumper was maybe lost at school last week. I take a moment for myself and scream into my pillow before regrouping.

8.20 am: We call dad and he askes how the morning is going. I resist the

urge to scream obscenities and hang up, and instead give him my best “fine”.

I remind him he’s off work on Friday so he can do assemblies. He regrets answering his phone. We call Bills Beans and order takeaway coffees.

8.42 am: I announce it’s time to leave so Miss 10 picks up the guitar and announces it’s time she learned an instrument. She asks for my phone to facetime Dad so he can teach her.

I ask her to strum some lovely music while I find my purse and I manage to keep a happy smile on my face the whole time. I consider a career as a professional actress briefly.

8.47 am: Coffees collected; I drop the kids at school. As I turn to wave at Miss 10, I see her hat in the backseat. I drive off with it.

8.53 am: I pull into the car park, and see the man in the car next to me crying into his coffee while he listens to “I don’t like Mondays”. I have to assume he has kids at home. Thank f*** it’s the last week of term!

G’day, Virtual Fencing NSW cattle farmers risk being left behind if changes aren’t made to virtual fencing legislation. While the Government considers the inquiry’s recommendations, I visited a Tasmanian farm using Halter’s tech—delivering big gains for animal welfare, worker safety, and pasture health. Most states don’t need legislation for this gamechanging tool. NSW’s outdated laws are holding us back. I look forward to the Government’s response on April 22.

Volcanic Mountain Challenge

Great to welcome over 400 runners to this year’s Volcanic Mountain Challenge—an epic 11km from The Pinnacle to Mt Canobolas summit, plus a popular 5km family fun run. Events like this bring visitors, boost our local economy, and promote a healthy, active community.

Also proud to present local volunteer Michael O’Mara with his parliamentary certificate—well deserved!

STEM Challenge Day inspires young scientists and engineers of the future Local public school students took part in a day of hands-on science and engineering fun at the Orange Function Centre last Friday, as part of a program aimed at encouraging students to consider a STEM career in the future.

The Discovery Day was a first for Orange.

The program, aimed at Year 5 and 6 students, followed the annual Science and Engineering Challenge day, which saw local Year 9 and 10 students compete in a range of building and problem-solving challenges.

The Challenge Days have been running in Orange for many years, but a change of venue has allowed local organisers to offer this opportunity to primary schools.

“This is the first time we held a Challenge Day at the Function Centre,” said Doug Allan of the Orange North Rotary Club, who facilitated the event with assistance from other local Rotary Clubs.

“In the past, we have used the school infrastructure, which limited us to one day,” he continued, “but now we have the Function Centre, we can use it for two days and make it open to primary schools.”

Delays in the planning meant only three local primary schools were able to take part in the Discovery Day last week, but Doug said they hope to have students from eight schools in the Function Centre in 2026.

Whereas the Science and Engineering Challenge is part of a national competition with the aim of getting students to choose STEM subjects in Years 11 and 12, the Discovery Days are more about having fun, said Lisa Campbell, team leader with the Science and Engineering Challenge, which is based out of the University of Newcastle.

“This primary school version is all about having fun and trying some things out in the STEM areas,” she said.

The students got the chance to try their hand at building bridges, wind turbines, or gliders, along with more problem-solving activities like mapping electrical networks, building fish traps, and coding problems.

Thea and Evie from Clergate Public School.

Lisa, a former science teacher, said STEM careers can be fun and rewarding and there is currently a real shortage of skilled people in a range of industries.

“It is also about solving a lot of the big problems that we have in our society, whether you are building bridges or solving problems using AI,” she said. “There are many huge engineering projects that we just don’t have the skilled workforce for at the moment, so the industry is putting a lot of time and money into getting students involved in STEM so that they are trained up and ready to work on these big projects.”

I'M COMMITED TO A NEW VETERANS’ AND FAMILIES’ WELLBEING CENTRE FOR CENTRAL WESTERN NSW

L

ast Friday I announced a major new policy commitment to the veterans’ community of Central Western NSW – a purpose-built Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Centre to be jointly based in Bathurst and Orange, with a network of smaller outreach hubs across Mudgee-Gulgong, Molong, Lithgow, Wellington and Oberon.

The Centre will deliver integrated support for local veterans and families, based on the successful Tasmanian hub-and-spoke model which I oversaw as Minister for Veterans’ Affairs.

This is about making sure that veterans and their families in the Central West have the same access to services, support and community as those in the big cities.

This Centre would ensure that veterans and families can access health and mental health and wellbeing services, social connection, advocacy, compensation claims, housing and employment support – all in one place. It would be a one-stopshop.

In 2022 I threatened to resign from my cabinet position of Minister for Veterans’ Affairs and Defence Personnel because of the government’s failure to properly fund veterans’ compensation entitlements and clear the backlog of 60,000 claims.

At the time I called it a “national disgrace” because I was shocked that veterans could be neglected in this way and treated so badly.

The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide highlighted the tragic, human cost of our country failing to properly care for our veterans and their families. Too many were let down. Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Centres and hubs are a step in setting things right.

Andrew with local veterans from around the region at the announcement.

Our ADF personnel, veterans and their families give Australia their best and our country needs to give them its best in return.

We have thousands of veterans living right here in the Calare electorate. A Veterans’ and Families’ Wellbeing Centre would be a huge boost in local support for them.

Consultation with veterans and community organisations will be undertaken to ensure the Centre and its regional hubs are built around local needs.

We ask so much of our men and women in uniform and they deserve our full support while they’re on duty for our nation and also after their service has concluded.

The joint Bathurst-Orange Centre would be the first of its kind in western New South Wales and would work closely with local exservices organisations, veteran groups and health services.

The proposed Centre would be open to all current and former members of the Australian Defence Force, including reservists and their families.

PAUSING WIND FARMS FOR TWO YEARS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR REAL ACTION

I

’m calling on the Leader of the Opposition, Peter Dutton, to state whether it is the Coalition’s policy to pause wind farms in the Central West for two years.

Recently the National Party candidate for Calare said if elected, he would move a Notice of Motion in Parliament calling for a pause on wind farm developments in the Central West for two years and also seek an inquiry.

Any MP can put a Notice of Motion into Parliament but that doesn’t mean that it will be voted on, become a law or is even a policy of a major party.

won’t be built until 2027 to 2029, so all that a two-year pause will do is work in nicely with the developers’ planning timelines. They’ll just keep planning until the pause ends.

Peter Dutton now needs to confirm whether the proposed pause is in fact Coalition policy, because if it’s not, people need to be told and made aware of it.

Recently I put my Bill into Parliament that would ban wind farm developments in State forests, no ifs, no buts. It would effectively stop the wind farm developments in the State forests around Sunny Corner, Oberon and Orange dead in their tracks.

Calling for a pause and inquiry (which is more talk) is no substitute for action.

Most of the wind farms planned for this area

In 2021 Sam Farraway and the NSW National Party voted in the State law that allows wind farms in State forests, so I’m getting them out.

ast week we celebrated a decade of care, community and compassion at Ronald McDonald House in Orange.

I was truly honoured to help officially open the brand-new Norm and Diedre Penhall Hall Playground, lovingly funded by the Orange Lions Club of which I’m a proud member.

Lions Errol McCann, Derry Fuge and Debbie Butwell were on hand for the offical opening. This $50,000 project was driven by Debbie during her time as President of the Club.

Watching the kids race to be the first to try it out was a highlight, pure joy in action!

It was also a privilege to present certificates of service to so many of the dedicated volunteers who have given their time tirelessly for up to 10 years. This House has one of the highest numbers

I’m also calling on Peter Dutton to let our region know if the Coalition will now support my law to ban wind farms in State forests. They stole my gas reservation policy last week so they could swipe this one too!

I’m not against renewable energy. But like many things in life, it’s about finding the right balance.

We need a sensible and workable energy policy that’s fair to everyone.

I’ve brought a real solution to the Parliament and all the major parties need to back it in.

of volunteers across the country (135 in total), a testament to the incredible community spirit we have here in the Central West.

I

In just the last 18 months, the House has provided over 900 meals, one every night for every family, thanks to the generosity of corporate supporters.

Amidst the sawdust, banter, and scones, we shared some great tips on Men's Health!

Since its founding in 1974, Ronald McDonald House Charities has expanded to 390 Houses globally, supporting over 2 million families each year. Here in Orange, this House has helped 1,800 families, providing over 13,500 nights of accommodation and saving families more than $2 million in costs, but most importantly, offering care, comfort, and connection.

Because it’s never just a bed, it’s a home away from home during the toughest of times.

Huge thanks to Bronwyn, Rebecca, the team, the board, our community partners, and to each and every volunteer who makes this place what it is.

had an awesome time visiting the mighty Orange Men’s Shed recently to check in on my mates!

Don’t miss the Orange Men’s Shed Open Day on Sunday, April 13, from 10am-2pm!

Everyone welcome, and there’ll be a free sausage sizzle plus a chance to check out some amazing timber projects (some are even up for sale!).

Men's Sheds are so important for regional communities, and it’s fantastic to support them. Thanks, Alan, Ken, Hugh and everyone involved. Our catchup made my day.

CROSS

purposes WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY ACTUALLY ABOUT? with MARK KEMP Christianity is about a big problem and a big solution.

Christians believe that there is a huge problem. What’s the problem? “I am.” All the brokenness of our world is caused by us humans not rebelling against God’s good intended way to live.

Christians also believe that there is a solution. God has created a way to solve the brokenness of the world. The only way to be made right is through God’s undeserved gift. Through Jesus’s death on the cross he took the punishment we deserved for rebelling against God so that we are made as if we were innocent. This was shown through Jesus coming back to life, this is how we know that we have been made innocent.

Christians believe that everyone needs to respond to this.

Instead of trying harder to be ‘good’ we need to accept God’s offer to forgive us. If you want the prize, you have to go claim it. To claim you simply need to accept that you need God’s help to forgive us and God will.

If you have any questions you would like answered, ideas for articles, or would like to find out more about Jesus click this QR code

WHAT’S HAPPENING @

Bank Local.

Regional Banks Unite for Sustainable Support

A group of 19 regional and rural banks, including Bank Orange, is calling for urgent action to preserve essential banking services in regional areas.

The group of mutuals includes Central Murray Bank, Regional Australia Bank, The Capricornian, Traditional Credit Union, Broken Hill Bank, Northern Inland Credit Union, Cairns Bank, The Mutual Bank, Bank Orange, Summerland Bank, Horizon Bank, Geelong Bank, Family First Bank, Warwick Credit Union, Bank WAW, South West Slopes Bank, Hume Bank, and Coastline Bank.

In many country towns, small regional banks are stepping in to provide essential services that major banks no longer offer as branch closures continue.

The group is advocating for a long-term solution to ensure regional communities are not left behind. This includes support for local branches through direct investment or a levy on all banks. The goal is to guarantee that vital services—such as access to cash, fraud assistance, and expert advice—remain available, particularly in areas prone to natural disasters, power outages or limited mobile and internet connectivity.

Bank Orange supports this initiative, recognizing the importance of a strong regional banking network that serves the unique needs of local communities. We remain committed to driving positive results to secure the future of regional Australia’s financial services.

BOWLS NOTES Colour City

DRAGONS We started with so much hope and promise for the Bei Loon 8km Challenge race on Pittwater. We had stars in our eyes. We had 26 muscled-up Dragons chafing at the bit, but we could only take 19. So we made a waiting list, hopeful that those who withdrew would be replaced without a ripple.

Orange City women played their Major Pairs final last week.

Mary Carr and Robyn Doyle taking the win over Helen Lord and Sue Moloney in a friendly game with some great bowls played. Many thanks to our umpire on the day Toosje Webster.

It started slowly, hardly noticeable. One pulled out, was replaced, another pulled out and was replaced. Gradually it picked up momentum – another pulled out – our waiting list had committed to other things, and another pulled out – a quick phone-around proved that everyone was busy. Another pulled out but, thankfully, recovered quickly and was back in, then another pulled out, and another. So we went from 26 Dragons to 16 Dragons and I was asking the organisers if they had any spare paddlers for our boat. A quick check with George (the race director) confirmed that there was no one to hop in our boat and help us out, so we went as a crew of 15 paddlers and one sweep (hardly ideal).

The Major Triples are next up, due to commence on the 15th of April, weather permitting.

The monthly Trophy Day also played last week, with the winners on 12 pnts being Moira John’s, Virginia Dunn and Sue Clinghan. Lucky losers were Sue Moore, Sylvia Tattersall and Michele Tredinnick.

Thinking of taking up lawn bowls? We have coaching for beginners each Wednesday morning at 10am. Please text Sue on 0409 522 099 or contact the Orange City bowling club.

Then Cyclone Alfred came into the equation. Would the race even be on? Would we go around the island – didn’t seem possible on the Friday when we had to commit to the journey to Pittwater. However, by sunrise Saturday morning Cyclone Alfred pulled his head in, and the mighty Colour City Dragons assembled on the beautiful beach of Rowland Park.

Happy bowling everyone

We were racing around Scotland Island. We started well in relatively calm water, but with boats and other vessels everywhere. Phil (our sweep) was, as usual, cool as a cucumber. He kept us paddling with a perfect mix of encouragement and power lifts, and — even when the going got tough – he eased us through the big swell and boat wash, and not one single paddler gave up or even faltered.

Country Club

BOWLS NOTES ORANGE EX SERVICES CLUB COUNTRY CLUB WOMEN’S BOWLS What a busy couple of weeks we have had.

Presidents Day was a huge success with teams coming from all across the district. Thank you everyone that attended from the Orange Ex-Services Country Club Womens Bowls Club along with teams from Parkes, Manildra, Orange City, Millthorpe, Molong, Canowindra and Majellan (Bathurst). But most importantly a specially-invited team from Portland. It was a day of bowling and good food and the making of friends.

This week we were treated to the Minor Singles Club Champion semi final between Jane Rowland and Julie Pitt. It was a very close game with Julie taking out the win to progress to the Final next week.

Also this week we had a small group of social

Julie, Trish, Jane.

players including a few new players that we welcome to our little club and hope you will enjoy many years of bowls and friendship.

Our healing thoughts are with any members that are on the sick side and not able to join us, we look forward to your safe return to us when you feel better.

Practice and coaching is available every Tuesday commencing at 10.30am, at the Country Club. These sessions are for our existing members and any ladies who would like to try their hand at lawn bowls.

Please contact Trish - 0400379294, or Phoebe 0408223843 for further information. Follow us on Instagram oesc_womensbowls or Facebook Orange Ex-Services’ Country Club Womens Bowls

We didn’t change sides, or rest row by row, as we were paddling like a machine. Our very own Aurora (Kerry) stroked at a perfect rate and all our crew kept in time for the whole race. After Phil called for the final lift 200m before the finish line, you could feel the boat lift and we finished in a blaze of glory.

How good are our young guns? Erin (with a jellyfish hitched on her paddle), Maddie and Neh, looked like they had been paddling all their lives; our new members were fantastic and our old workhorses did not let us down either. We got out of the boat, had a quick swim, a free sausage sanga, and Erin accepted our trophy.

Life is good. Good on ya mighty Colour City Dragons – and as Jack Pearce would say, ‘we did good – we run strong’. Let’s do it all again next year.

In loving memory of

Alison GAil HAyden

It’s one year since you closed your eyes, and went to sleep.

Love lives on forever in our hearts, we have broken down and cried, we miss you everyday.

Till we meet again, always in our hearts...

nee BARden 25.6.1960~13.4.2015

There’s a face we shall always remember, A voice we shall always recall, A memory to cherish forever, of one so dear to us all.

To hear her voice, to see her smile, To sit and talk to for a while, To be together in the same old way, Would be my dearest wish today.

Loved and remembered everyday,

Maria, Kirsty, Gary, Zaki, Zahra, Lilli, Michael, Trish and family

The staff did a great job: quick, efficient, and did a thorough cleanup once they’d finished. Many thanks, it’s a job much appreciated.

THUMBS UP to Dr Shamus, nurse Phoebe, the ambulance officers, and all the staff of the ED at Orange Health Service that helped me after my nasty medical episode on Friday, April 4. You were all so attentive, professional, and caring to both me and my family and I will forever be grateful to you all. You all are an asset to the health care sector and we are so lucky to have you in our local hospital.

THUMBS UP to the staff at the local Telstra shop for their great service and patience helping me with my new phone.

THUMBS UP and a huge thank you to all the health professionals who attended to me the afternoon of 18th March. From the two Orange paramedics to the OHS ED staff, gynecology team, Theatre staff, ICU staff and everyone in between. I have no doubt you saved my life and I am incredibly grateful.

THUMBS UP to Harry

Greatbatch at Tony Leahey, Orange. Harry provided excellent service when we purchased a new ute at the dealership. Thanks Harry, we will be back.

THUMBS UP to Hungry Jacks to all the young staff for their courtesy and service. They are just so polite.

Do you have something to get off your chest, or simply want to give credit, where credit is due...

MILLTHORPE GALA EVENT Photos by CEC TILBURG

On Friday, 4th April 2025, the Tamburlaine Millthorpe Cellar Door at 9 Pym Street hosted the Millthorpe Village Gala and Charity Auction, a fundraising event supporting the Cancer Council NSW’s “Stars of Orange” initiative.

Attendees enjoyed an evening of live music, fine wines from Tamburlaine Organic Wines, and gourmet canapés provided by The Old Mill Café. The event featured a charity auction with items generously donated by local businesses and community members. Guests embraced the suggested dress code of gold, yellow, or blue, adding a vibrant touch to the evening.

The gala highlighted the community’s commitment to supporting cancer research and local initiatives.
