If you’ve recently been married and would like to share some of your wedding photos, we still do that too. Again, just send us the photos and some details.

We’re also still accepting short stories and still paying $100 for those we publish. We still have several to consider but would welcome more.

THE BIG PICTURE CLEARLY IN

Ebony’s Sight — WRITTEN BY STU RILES — Canobolas Rural Technology High School Community Liaison Officer

E

bony Hay has become the first student at Canobolas Rural Technology High School to gain university entry through the completion of a Big Picture Graduation Portfolio in 2019. Since joining the Canobolas Big Picture Academy in 2017, Ebony worked diligently in completing all the Portfolio elements required to create a rich, tangible record of her rigorous, enquiry based real-world learning. As a result, Ebony was successful in being offered, and has accepted, entry into the Bachelor of Exercise Science and Sports degree at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst. The Graduation Portfolio is a relatively new parallel pathway to tertiary education for students of Big Picture schools around Australia, and as such, students do not need an ATAR under this scheme to gain entrance into participating universities.

Ebony utilised her passion and talent as an exceptional athlete to assist her in producing a key component for her portfolio, the Senior Thesis Project, on the 3D Motion Analysis of 9 female hammer throw athletes. Ebony has herself won several state championships representing NSW for hammer and discus throwing. The Senior Thesis Project was integral to Ebony learning how to manage all facets of a large project, initiate problem solving strategies, overcome challenges, recruit athletes, work with outside adult experts and meet her five

Big Picture learning goals (Empirical Reasoning, Quantitative Reasoning, Communication, Social Reasoning and Personal Qualities.) Ebony received support and mentorship throughout her project from her Big Picture Advisor, Mrs Lou Rose, and Charles Sturt University mentors Dr Melissa Skein and Dr Kerry Mann, who upon completion had no hesitation in recommending Ebony to a tertiary institution to undertake undergraduate studies.

The final step in gaining university entrance was for Ebony to confidently present and convince a panel of seven university academics, through a 45-minute Graduation Exhibition, that she was at the proposed Big Picture Graduation Portfolio Level 5 Highly Accomplished Standard. Ebony was well prepared for this as the Big Picture model requires assessment and feedback of her journey, through regular exhibitions and submission of authentic work contributing to a polished portfolio of evidence.

Ebony’s Graduation Portfolio was a sizable 216page document which also contained her: Thesis evidence, Autobiography, details of her Social Action Project, a series of Learning Plans, Learning Through Internships documentation and Post School Project exploration reflections.

It was a relatively easy decision for Ebony to select the Cancer Council’s Relay for Life as her Social Action Project. Her family had personally experienced

loss and grief from cancer. Ebony was not only a participant in the relay she also joined the organising committee, helping carers and cancer survivors, manning the exhibitions, selling merchandise, and arranging for musicians to play during the event.

Ebony gained from this experience great empathy for those effected by cancer but also found many of their stories inspirational.

All Big Picture students complete authentic projects while on internships with an expert mentor in the community. Big Picture calls this ‘Leaving to Learn.’

Within well written reflections Ebony describes in glowing terms her rich experiences and new-found knowledge shadowing physiotherapists at two practices, PC Physio and Phyz X, both in Orange.

...Ebony describes in glowing terms her rich experiences and new-found knowledge...

Since its formation five years ago the Big Picture Academy at Canobolas Rural Technology High School has provided an alternate educational pathway to over 60 students. The Academy’s formation was possible through the generous assistance of the Sally Foundation. Its continued success at Canobolas is in no small part due to the ongoing commitment of the two Big Picture Advisors, Mrs Jess Penberthy and Mrs Lou Rose who have run the program since its inception.

Congratulations Ebony, we look forward to following your continued success at university and on the sporting arena.

Comment

with Bob Holland

NO WOW FACTOR! Writing a comment for this space each week is generally enjoyable and I usually don’t have much trouble coming up with something to write about. I also try to mix it up a bit so that it doesn’t seem like I’m whinging about something every week, I know it probably feels like I am at times.

This week however, I struggled. I wanted to write something positive, something uplifting or light-hearted but nothing came to mind. How sad is that! Every time I started to think about what I could write about, I kept coming back to the same thing - our City and what it’s lacking. I can’t get this feeling out of my head that for all the good things that are happening in Orange at this time, our City is still not progressing as well as it could or should be in other areas.

Image by Snappy Mat Photography ‘Hallowed and Hollowed’ - This abandoned mid Victorian church located near Wellington NSW, was built in 1877 on a budget of £200. In 1909 the structure saw the addition of a sacristy and the location was used for social events which raised funds for the church. The location was also the site for a school. In 1930, the building received renovations including concrete render over its locally sourced bricks and timber, which created its Art Deco modernised appearance.

For years, through our publications, we have presented a myriad of issues that Orange desperately needs to address, and we’ve presented numerous great ideas for the City, some from our readers, some from ourselves. I won’t go into detail about these, I’m sure you know of many of the things I’m referring to. Even the things that are being talked about now, have been out there for years and years. How long has a sporting stadium been talked about, a mountain bike facility on Mount Canobolas, a Planetarium, our sad and sorry CBD and so on? Unless I’m mistaken Orange’s three great recent claims to fame are a flash toilet in the wrong part of Robertson Park, a new cenotaph, and a new Visitor Centre complex. Most other developments etc. appear to me to be commercial developments initiated by others.

When I step back and consider the

facilities we have here in Orange right now, I can’t see anything in Orange that I’d say has a WOW factor. I see a propped-up Showground that’s hardly impressive, but with a great big impressive pavilion that doesn’t even have a kiosk or toilet. I see pretty basic sporting fields at Wade Park, Emus and Waratahs, I see a racetrack that hardly gets any use, a function centre that’s way out of date, a Civic Theatre that is adequate but fast approaching its use by date, a Lake facility that no one is going to knock themselves out to see, the under used Gosling Creek facilities which no one can find, a Mountain lookout that gives the impression no one cares about it, a racing bike track of sorts, some unsightly old netball courts, and another weird failure in my view, are old welcome to Orange signs that drivers have to turn their heads on the side to read!

It’s hardly an impressive regime is it?

Of course, we do have several muchloved facilities like Cook Park, the Botanical Garden, and our Adventure Playground but truth be said, all these too now lack the WOW factor they once had, also our Visitor Centre Complex is quite impressive and the exhibition area has its moments.

On balance however, and like I said, I can’t get too excited about the progress in certain areas of Orange at the moment. Maybe there’s good reasons for it, but being a shaker and mover and entrepreneurial type myself, if Orange was my business, many of these things would have been addressed well before this and Orange would definitely have more WOW factor than it does at present.

to kick off

school holidays!

— JONATHAN ROE —

Get outdoors this weekend and join citizen scientists around the globe in discovering and cataloguing the diverse wildlife around us.

The Great Southern Bio Blitz is an international project to conduct intense biological survey and attempt to record all the living species within designated areas across the Southern Hemisphere in Spring. The idea is to highlight both the immense biodiversity spread across the Southern Hemisphere in the flourishing springtime, as well as to engage the public in science and nature learning.

Orange has registered as part of the global campaign and is encouraging local citizen scientists to take photographs of the different species they find and log the details in an app.

“This time of year in Orange is just absolutely perfect so why not enjoy being in nature and help scientists’ research while you’re at it.”

The Great Southern Bio Blitz runs for four days from Friday September 25 to Monday September 28. To participate during that period simply visit www.inaturalist.org and download the INaturalist app. Then get outdoors, whether it be in our city parks, nature reserves of even your own backyard and record what you find.

Mayor Reg Kidd said the Bio Blitz was a perfect start to the school holidays.

“This is a great opportunity to learn about the local biodiversity,” said Orange City Council’s Environment Sustainability Committee Chair Stephen Nugent.

“It’s a wonderful activity for people of all ages to join in on,” he said. “It’s free, it’s educational and it encourages people to spend time in the great outdoors.

the 1920s and 30s.”

Then came the Second World War and people were anxious for as much news as they could get. Much of it, of course, was censored and quite often big news stories of battles and losses were not received by the public for days after the event. Local newspapers and city papers gave the news they were permitted to print. In to-day’s world of news saturation this seems strange but it was feared that, in a global conflict, people may well have despaired if they had known the reality.

Communication Because of the pandemic the Orange Oral History Group has not been meeting together although as soon as we are allowed we will certainly and enthusiastically start again.

Meanwhile, I have used some material that I gathered some time ago.

In our period of lockdown we have been so lucky to have access to the internet, to be able to contact friends and family and to see them on our screens and many have been able to work from home on their computers.

It was not always the case.

How would you feel if the prime time offering on your favourite radio station turned out to be a talk on Dental Hygiene?

This was the programme published in the Sydney Morning Herald on 7th April, 1932 and it may well have seemed an exciting proposition to many people. The fact that you could hear anything at all was enough to set the pulses racing for people who were

experiencing radio for the first time.

“We always called it the wireless,” said Lucy.

“My mother paid off ours at the rate of five shillings a week. All the neighbours’ kids used to leave the washing up to come down to our place to listen to Dad and Dave and then go back and finish their work.”

The Oral History Group was reminiscing about the changes which have occurred in communication over the years. Again, the ages of the members of the group ranged from the early 80s down to the youngest, who is 19.

Trevor and Bill could remember the early crystal sets. Trevor’s father came home one night “very pleased with himself,” and invited the family to see what he had. It was a Cat’s Whisker but not an ordinary one. This wire touched a crystal which picked up a signal connected to a radio station. It seemed like magic to people who, before this, had to rely on newspapers to find out what was going on in the world.

“We would walk or ride a horse to friends and neighbours to tell them the news,” said Ruby.

“Very few people had a telephone or radio in

to entertain but also to give information to country people about current concerns.

As Jorie grew up, television was becoming popular. People who didn’t have a set (and there were quite a few who didn’t) used to visit friends and neighbours much as they did in the early days of radio.

Sam is one of the younger generation, in his early twenties.

“When I was a kid, I didn’t watch a lot of TV but I listened to the radio and used to tape my favourite songs from it.”

Sam didn’t have a mobile phone until he went to university, but wonders now how he could have done without it.

“Everyone is in constant communication,” he says. We send e-mails as well as using Chat Rooms. SMSs are a bit like telegrams: instant communication.”

Rebecca agreed:

Telegrams, which were sent to Post Offices in Morse code, were the best way of delivering fast messages. Trevor, whose first job was early in the war, was that of a telegram boy, remembers the dread with which he delivered some messages, knowing already what was in them. “When people saw the telegram boy coming in those days, they sensed it was bad news.”

“My dad says I can’t communicate verbally because I always talk in shorthand using SMS.

Jorie was a child of the fifties—a post-war world where radio was extremely popular.

Finally, the group touched on electioneering, a familiar topic to us all at the moment. To-day, politicians use the media skilfully, advised by panels of experts in the art of spin.

“We always listened to the A.B.C. and I became an Argonaut. It was a children’s club devised by the ABC along the lines of the Odyssey. The members were all rowers in the Argo boats, led by Jason, in search of the Golden Fleece. The emphasis was on gaining knowledge and we learned about music, writing, poetry and art.”

Serials on commercial radio were popular too. The long running serials, The Lawsons and Blue Hills were used by the ABC not only

It seems that communication has to be instantaneous and at speed. Little time for letter writing!

Sam pointed out that in to-day’s newspapers, articles are much shorter than they used to be. TV itself has encouraged people to have shorter attention spans.

This is a far cry from the old street corner spruiker.

Lucy remembered: “On a hot night long ago, it was great entertainment to go for a stroll to the bank corner and listen to the politicians, battling it out. It was great fun!”

Could we say the same thing to-day?

Memories

by Ned As a small boy growing up in the 1930’s I spent a lot of time ‘away’, standing shoulder to shoulder with Alan Quatermain, facing down a charging rhino with my nitro express 50 calibre or checking the oil pressure for Smithy in cloud over the Tasman, dodging poisonous darts in the Amazon with Fawsett, or with the reins between my teeth shooting buffalo from horse back with Tom Cole.

From a very early age I developed a love of reading, nothing escaped, not even the old family Bible’s Old Testament – all those dirty tricks – murder and mayhem and all that begetting. The love of reading and an overblown imagination set me up for life.

We, that is my school mates and I, were very keen marble players, we copied the older boys and played a very serious big ring game with strict adherence to the rules : knuckle down properly, no fudging and no crying if you lost.

My tor was a slightly chipped old aggie which gave me a better grip. The prime requirement was a strong thumb and a good eye.

The four of us played whenever we could and were pretty good at the game.

One Saturday morning while we were playing a new kid wandered up (he was visiting relatives) and asked politely if he could watch. We knew straight away he was a town kid – nice white shirt, he wore glasses and his socks were up.

After a while he asked if he could play. Normally we would have refused him, but the sight of his bag of brand-new shiny marbles changed our minds.

Not a word was spoken but Mark, Hustle and Sting came to our avaricious young minds simultaneously.

him carefully through the game which we let him win, the same with the second game. As we had lost we suggested a big game with all the marbles in the ring.

This was the moment we were going to sting him, we could see his shiny new marbles in our pockets – we even let him have the first go. That is where the trap shut.

We did not get a go – he cleaned us out, then thanked us for the game, pocketed our marbles and went home leaving four small boys completely stunned.

I believe that much later in life he did time for embezzlement but if he is still around I wish him well for he sure could play marbles.

He asked us to explain the rules to him and we led

Choosing Your Executor Thought needs to be given as to who you will appoint as your named executor or executors under your Will. It is not always straight forward as there are a number of things to consider.

It is not unusual to appoint your spouse or partner to the role and/or a child or children in the first instance in a shared role or in the second instance as an alternative. Involving more than one generation is a good approach as we age as this ensures that you have an executor available to administer your estate if your first choices are unable to do so.

Not everyone has a spouse or child/children to carry out this task. Some involve other relatives or friends. We suggest having a conversation with your family and/or friends to discuss whether they are willing to take on this role for you.

The Court does limit the number of executors that can apply for probate to four, so we recommend limiting the number of people that you choose to be your executor.

George Blackwell

Deirdre May

In certain circumstance you may wish to appoint a professional executor such as a solicitor. A solicitor will charge fees for carrying out executorial duties.

Alternatively you may appoint a private Trustee company or the NSW Public Trustee and Guardian to the role. This also comes at a cost to the estate but it may be the best choice for you given your unique circumstances.

If you have any questions about choosing your executor please contact George Blackwell or Deirdre May on [02] 6393 9200 OR email gb@blackwellshort.com.au. or deirdre@blackwellshort.com.au.

The show must go on… online!

— JONATHAN ROE —

NAIROC, the annual school eisteddfod to celebrate NAIDOC Week, is taking their 2020 show online.

anyone thinks they are funny they could record themselves doing a bit of stand up, they could get in a group and do a bit of singing or solo singing… So, there are plenty of options that people can do. It just depends on how creative you can get,” said Corey.

Like so much of our lives in the age of the Coronavirus, organisers have been forced to make new arrangements in order to adhere to restrictions on public gatherings.

Typically, Orange holds it’s NAIDOC Week celebration in October, but with the National NAIDOC week being pushed back this year, Orange will celebrate it with the rest of Australian on 8-14 November.

“With all the restrictions at the moment we had to cancel the eisteddfod a few months ago,” said NAIROC organiser Corey McLean.

“But then I got contacted by a local Aboriginal worker at one of the schools saying he’s got a girl who was still keen to do a performance and wanted to know if she was able to video it, so I’ve taken that idea and sort of ran with it.”

Corey has now put the word out to local schools looking for entries in a NAIDOC Week online talent show.

“We didn’t want to not be doing anything at all this year, so we have had to think outside the box a little bit. So we’ve put it out to the community, to the schools

to see if they want to put their own little performance together and then we can showcase that on our Facebook page during NAIDOC week,” he said.

“It’s a way we can still celebrate it and people are still learning about culture, still being actively involved, but still in a safe way.”

To enter, you simply have to submit a video of your performance (limited to 5 minutes) and complete an entry

form you can find on the ‘NAIDOC week celebrations - Orange NSW’ Facebook page.

Dance is normally the focus of the NAIROC shows, but one advantage of doing it all by pre-recorded video this year is that the options are endless.

“It could be anything, I’m guessing there will be a lot of dance acts, but I’m actually hoping for some different things this year, maybe some comedy, some little skits, if

The deadline for competition entries is 5pm October 30. The videos will then be able to be viewed on the ‘NAIDOC week celebrations - Orange NSW’ Facebook page.

“I’m thinking we’ll put a poll up on Facebook and letting people view the entries and they can put their vote in on the one that they like the most,” said Corey.

“It will also be a way to get people onto our NAIDOC page so they can see what else is happening around the community for NAIDOC week.”

WELCOMING CALARE’S NEWEST RESIDENTS

KIDS WILL GET HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS We’ve made some encouraging progress in the fight to grant students at interstate boarding schools exemptions to return to their families for the school holidays.

Last week, the issue went before the Prime Minister and state and territory leaders at National Cabinet.

The National Cabinet agreed to a new AHPPC Statement on Boarding Students and Students Living in Border Zones, which supports all jurisdictions adopting appropriate risk-based approaches to ensure boarding students can cross borders and safely return home to their families during school holidays.

It comes as Queensland and South Australia prepare to open their borders, ensuring boarding school kids from COVID-free areas can travel home for the school holidays and back to school again safely.

This is a big win for families affected by the border closures and is an enormous relief for the kids and their families, who have been through an extremely stressful time.

While the progress is positive, we still need a nationally consistent approach to border restrictions, with transparent guidelines for term four, and beyond to the 2021 academic year.

The mental health toll of these restrictions on interstate boarding school students and their families cannot be underestimated. We must remember, many of these families have battled drought, floods and bushfires. We need a concrete solution to ensure families are not put under this kind of stress again.

I have continued to call on the University to undertake a full, transparent audit as issues that I have become aware of over recent months concern me greatly. The community concern about what’s happening at CSU is continuing.

There is no greater friend of CSU and I want our country university to flourish as its ongoing success is vital to regional communities across NSW.

Spring Hill Public

Builds a Bridge!

— MELISE COLEMAN —

Spring Hill Public spent term three working on building their very own bridges as part of the STEAM curriculum and the NSW Department of Education’s STEM Industry School Partnership Program (SISP).

Regional Development Australia (RDA) Central West support the NSW Department of Education’s SISP Program which partners schools with local industries, bringing real-world STEM related content directly into the classroom.

On Friday Transport for NSW Project Engineer, Liam McAnulty and Bridge Works Manager, Tim Stone visited the school with a presentation on their job roles for the students.

14

SISP is a highly regarded program, because it demonstrates that there are jobs, careers and bright futures in STEM right here in the Central West.

“Not only does this make learning both relevant and engaging, but SISP aims to inspire students to study STEM and showcase the career opportunities that are available.

School Principal, Mrs Mac said students enjoyed the term long subject as many different objects, shapes and sizes were built into bridges.

“Engaging ‘Transport for NSW’ with Spring Hill Public School for their bridge building project is a great example of SISP in action and proves the value of the program.”

“This subject was all about connecting kids to real life problem solving, it was also an opportunity for students to see what jobs are available within the industry.”

Students had some great questions for their visitors, Liam and Tim also had the opportunity to inspect the bridges they had built as part of the students assessment.

Director of RDA Central West, Sam Harma said “STEM skills play a major role in local industries and the local economy and that’s why

The day was a great success with Liam adding he was very, very impressed with the final outcome of the students bridges.

RDA Central West is always keen to partner interested industry leaders with local schools to grow the SISP program. To learn more visit our website at https://rdacentralwest.org.au/ or email admin@rdacentralwest.org.au

confronting enough. We stayed in Sydney for a couple of days, trying to get used to this new diagnosis, with a toddler, not in our hometown without immediate support and not being with our partner due to COVID restrictions. It was hard,” said Madeleine.

“In the area of the hospital we were in the Nurses weren’t particularly educated in diabetes, so I was put on the spot to give her insulin, I still didn’t really know anything about diabetes, it was horrible and so confronting.

“I remember crying and I rang my Mum and said ‘I don’t know what they are asking me to do’ I was only told what to do two hours before we were transferred here. It was so overwhelming.”

...The reality of a hypo is still very confronting to me, but we are doing so much better. It makes me really proud to be living here and a part of the Orange community, because there is so much support....

“As soon as I got to Orange from Sydney I was relieved, I cried.. I think I hugged the nurse I saw because I was so happy, they were so helpful and we didn’t feel so alone. The diabetes team in Orange is amazing and so is our Doctor, I’m emailing them all the time with updates, they are so hands-on.

“The reality of a hypo is still very confronting to me, but we are doing so much better. It makes me really proud to be living here and a part of the Orange community, because there is so much support.”

The Turnbull’s are hoping to get a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) soon, instead of having to prick Isla’s finger at every meal or after every meal, for a blood reading.

It’s only been a few months of Isla’s diagnosis, but Madeleine feels it’s starting to become second nature for her and James. “Isla is already teaching us so much; she’s just taken it all in her stride. Every time we give her the insulin, she says, ‘good girl’,” Madeleine smiled, “She’s so sweet it’s like she’s telling me I’m doing it right.”

We’re extending financial support

“It’s not lifechanging for her because she doesn’t know any better, but this is her life now.

It’s important for James and I to teach her to eat appropriately and be responsible in looking after her body.

The Australian Government is extending JobKeeper until 28 March 2021 and the temporary Coronavirus Supplement for those on income support until 31 December 2020, after which income support will continue.

“I really just want to get the awareness out there, for all of our Mum’s and Dad’s, don’t go off other people’s opinions or even google or apps.

No one knows your child better than you; I feel like I was trying to listen to other people and what they were saying when I should have just been focusing on her.

For JobKeeper and the temporary Coronavirus Supplement there will be some changes to payments and eligibility to support businesses and households who need it most.

“I’m so thankful that I followed my gut. If I hadn’t… that thought just terrifies me, because she wouldn’t be here. I’m so proud of her, she is amazing. I get goosebumps thinking of her going through this, she’s so happy, she’s my little warrior.

“I don’t want anyone to think any different of her and I don’t want diabetes to be her label or to determine who she is. She’s just extra special because of her diabetes.

“I have hope that when she is older there might be a cure. So, at this moment, we take each day as they come.. some days are highs, some days are lows, some days both.. but we will get through it, because she’s so strong..”

A stitch of kindness for local radiotherapy patients — JONATHAN ROE —

ocal quilters Denise Schmich and Glenda White have turned their talents to tackle the needs of radiotherapy patients at the Orange Health Service.

With face masks now being a requirement for patients attending radiotherapy, Denise and Glenda decided to lend a hand and have made and donated more than 200 reusable masks to the Radiotherapy unit.

“It was 201 — we miss counted somewhere along the line,” said Denise of exceeding their

initial goal of 200 masks.

“There might be a tie off the gown or something like that and we just sew it back on.

I have another lot to do soon.”

“Anything we can do to help… It probably took us about three weeks I suppose, but it is a great way to use up your smaller pieces of material, it saves wasting them!”

Chief Radiation Therapist Rodney Hammond said their patients have been greatly appreciative as many come for treatment for weeks and with masks being expensive and hard to source at times they have been very thankful for Denise and Glenda’s generosity.

Orange Health Service staff have sorted the masks into male and female packs, and every patient attending radiotherapy is now given a pack containing three reusable masks and an instruction and care sheet.

“Glenda and Denise are big supporters of the radiation department,” said Rodney. “We are very grateful for this donation. Radiotherapy patients now have reusable masks that they

“So one they have on, one in the wash and a spare,” said Denise, who has also repaired gowns for the unit in the past.

can wear both in the community and when attending the Health Service.”

While it was Glenda and Denise who made the masks, it would not have been possible without the generosity of others.

“The biggest problem we had was sourcing elastic,” said Denise. In the beginning, it was a very hard buy, but I went out for a meal with some friends and said I can’t buy elastic and within three days I had enough elastic that they had all sourced from home!”

Denise and Glenda are already working on their next batch of masks.

Peak behind the music with

Bloomers!

This week Orange City Life is introducing a new column from Radio 2EL’s Rod Bloomfield. Rod has spent more than 30 years in the commercial radio industry and today hosts the popular Jukebox show every weekday lunchtime.

“I’ve spent all of my life around music,” said Rod. “When I was seven, they asked me at school what I wanted to be and everyone said train driver or fireman and I said radio announcer!

“I’ve been in commercial radio now for 30 years, 35 if you include community radio, but my interest goes way back to early childhood.”

Rod has a deep love for all things music, and over the coming weeks and months he will be putting pen to paper and sharing some of his insights and knowledge with our readers.

“I could talk music all day! I could talk about bands, talk about songs until legs start to drop off tables! But I can’t do that on the Jukebox show, because it is about letting the music play otherwise it would be three hours of me talking every afternoon, so this is an opportunity for me — very selfishly I guess — to just talk music and hopefully people will read it and get something out of it as well.”

Look out for The Jukebox column with Bloomers in this and future issues of Orange City Life.

THE JUKEBOX with

Paul Kelly, Living National Treasure.

If Paul Kelly had been born in America, he’d have been as big a star as Bruce Springsteen and would be lauded alongside Bob Dylan.

minimum Australasian music content that was legally mandated for Australian commercial radio at the time.

A big statement? Yes, it’s a massive statement and one that music fans could debate long and hard, but it’s probably not too many miles from the mark.

But thanks to the radio airplay, when his songs weren’t top 40 chart toppers, his LP’s sold bucket loads!

Now it has to be noted that there are three Paul Kelly’s in the music world, one from the US, one from Ireland, and one from Australia.

I am talking about the one that is an Australian living national treasure!

Paul Kelly was not a number 1 hit making machine, but year after year from 1981 until 2020 he has been a constant on Australian radio, and on the speakers of our various music playing devices and machines.

He is probably seen as very much a Melbourne singer-songwriter by many but he was actually from Adelaide originally, had his first pub gig in Hobart in 1974, and the time of his highest level of commercial success coincided with him living in Sydney from the mid-80s to early 90’s.

At that start of that commercially successful time, in the mid-80s, he spent time living with Cold Chisel’s Don Walker in Kings Cross, then Dragon’s Paul Hewson. It was at that time he recorded the LP “Post” featuring his now iconic song “From St Kilda to Kings Cross”.

He dedicated the song to Hewson who died of a heroin overdose after Kelly had moved out.

It was a rough time for Paul Kelly personally, with heroin addiction often stalking him during that period, as it did do many people.

His most iconic song, “To her door” describes the journey of a heroin addict trying to kick the habit by attending The Buttery, which is a rehab centre in Northern New South Wales.

The first time I heard Paul Kelly was in 1986 when he released his first top 40 hit song the very nicely crafted rock/pop song, “Before too long.” It reached 15 on the national charts.

Since then I’ve never heard a Paul Kelly song I didn’t like!

In radio, “Before too long” became what we used to call “a turntable hit,” meaning it received much more airplay on radio than, arguably, its chart position warranted.

Part of that was to do with the 25 per cent

His third single release was THAT song, “To her door,” which made number 14.

The follow up was “Dumb Things,” and then he just kept pumping out songs that became classics for the next bunch of years.

“Dumb Things” did make a chart appearance in the US, but America was never going to be his market with his very Aussie stories and very Aussie singing style.

He did, however, have some very successful tours of the US, so there are American ears that know him.

Into the 1990s single releases from Paul Kelly received less radio attention, but a constant release of Albums maintained his chart presence.

It was during this time where he collaborated with some of the country’s, and world’s, very best.

Then in 1996 he released a song called “How to make gravy.” It was picked up by the national youth station Triple J, finding him a new audience.

Radio music directors also have “How to make gravy” in the “Christmas song” category, meaning it’s guaranteed to be rolled out at that time of year, every year!

The success of “Gravy” also meant again that Australia’s biggest stars of the era wanted to work with him, or record his songs, or both.

As we moved to the first decade of the 2000s, Paul Kelly found himself immersed in the world of movie soundtracks for a while, with Australian movie “Lantana” being the best known film he was associated with.

In the last 2 Paul Kelly has maintained incredible creative momentum having written, recorded and released 14 LPs! His latest album was released recently. A collaboration with Jazz legend Paul Grabowsky.

Did I say, “living national treasure?” Yes, I did… and he is.

To hear the songs of Paul Kelly, and other great hits from the 50s to the 90s, tune in to Radio 2EL 1089am Monday to Friday from Noon until 3pm with Bloomers.

Keeping good company You belong at Oak Tree Orange Community connection plays a vital role in both our physical and mental wellbeing, particularly during our senior years.

Staying social and getting out and about can help reduce health problems, give you purpose and allow you to live independent for longer. At Oak Tree, our retirement villages are designed to help you meet new companions, foster existing friendships and maintain that important sense of connectivity during retirement.

Welcome to the village The essence of a village is defined by its people and places. At Oak Tree, creating a friendly village atmosphere is at the heart of everything we do. Here, you’ll be surrounded by like-minded people with facilities and activities that make it easy to meet new friends and share common experiences. Keep your social calendar as full as you choose, discover new hobbies, and enrich your retirement spending more time doing the things you love.

“I am enjoying life so much here at Oak Tree Orange, along with the wonderful friendships I have made with the other residents.

It has given me the sense of community and care that I had in West Wyalong.”

New home, old friends At Oak Tree, we know that being close to your support networks is vital. That’s why we build our villages in the areas that are familiar and where you’ve put down roots. We actively encourage you to invite friends and family to the village. Guests

are welcome to stay in your villa, or make use of the purposebuilt village facilities. Old friends are certainly welcome at your new home.

“My friend who lives in Orange couldn’t be happier that I’m living near to her, and I’ve given my friends from West Wyalong somewhere to visit! I’ve made many wonderful new friends too.”

Furry pal friendly Understanding the importance that pets can play in our lives, Oak Tree is one of the few village operators who openly welcome furry friends. Pet companionship brings a raft of health benefits - particularly cardiovascular health - lowering blood pressure, triglycerides and cholesterol, according to the RSPCA*. Looking after pets encourages physical activity and can even reduce the frequency of your doctor visits. A pet by your side can help improve your outlook on life, make you feel more socially connected and better enable you to deal with stress or grief, particularly after the loss of a partner.

“Perhaps most importantly, I needed to be able to bring my little dog with me. She is my life and I couldn’t have moved without her.

She loves it here too!”

From new friends to old friends to furry friends, Oak Tree will help you stay connected.

learn how to read music properly. I do everything by ear,” he says.

RAY VANDERBY HAS SPENT HALF A CENTURY PERFORMING ON STAGE, BUT WITH THE PANDEMIC PUTTING LIVE MUSIC LARGELY ON HOLD HE IS HAPPILY FINDING HIS CREATIVE OUTLET IN THE STUDIO. “Do you miss performing?”

Ray stops and takes his time before slowly answering the question.

“Yes and no,” he says, stopping again to think some more before continuing. “I’ve done so many gigs and I look at it objectively… nothing lasts forever, so it’s OK. And I think of it like I’m performing now, but in the studio. Even though we are not performing in front of an audience, we are still performing in the studio.

“Us musos — you can’t stop us. Sure, the live music scene has dropped right off, so it is time to turn to the studio.”

Ray has an interesting story about his introduction to music.

He was 11 and at Sunday School in the Uniting Church Hall in Anson Street, when a young girl started playing ‘Heart and Soul’ on the old church piano.

“I watched her play and said to myself, I could probably do that, it doesn’t look that hard. Then, when she finished, I walked up and started playing it,” says Ray, who is largely self-taught.

“I had some lessons with a couple local teachers, but I didn’t really

With an ear for music, Ray landed himself a job out of high school as an apprentice piano tuner with W.H. Paling. In his final year, he was sent to the Beale piano factory in Sydney, where he developed a taste for the city life.

But it was a chance encounter at work, that saw Ray break his way into the Australian rock music scene.

“I was called out to tune a Mr Young’s piano at Epping and I knocked on the door, it was George Young from The Easybeats! And I’m tuning the piano and thought this might be an opportunity for me. So I played a bit of rock n roll and he said in his Scottish accent, “Ah boy, you can play!”

“Then he said 'I can organise an audition for you with Stevie Wright, because he is looking for a keyboard player for a tour around the country.' The Hard Road album had just been released and a week later Malcolm Young, the guitarist from ACDC, arrived at my place in his little bongo van and took me over to the Manly Theatre for my first rehearsal with Stevie and the boys!

“All the doors opened after that. Word got around about this keyboard player and from Stevie I went to Doug Parkinson, I ended up touring with Marcia Hines around the capital cities, John Paul Young, Blackfeather a couple of times, Jon English and then in the studio recording… so I’ve had some opportunities like that and it has been a very colourful journey!”

Ray moved back to Orange in 2008. He was living in Melbourne at the time after the third 43 degree day in a row one summer, he says he looked up the weather in Orange and decided it was time to come home.

“Orange was 28 degrees! And so I rang Mum up and said, I’m coming home!’ But I’d had enough of the big city life, and motels and

the touring it is fun for a while, but I was 54 then and I thought I’m not going to retire here, this is not going to be my last port of call.”

Over the past five decades Ray has recorded 20 albums in various genres: jazz, blues, pop, rock and world music.

His latest project is a collaboration with local musicians and vocalists recording all original tracks at the Dotted Eight Studio, here in Orange.

“We are putting this project together in more of a soul/funk/jazz/ groove genre, a bit like Steely Dan,” says Ray. “We’ve got Mark Welch on Drums, Ado Hadson on guitar, Shane Dickerson on bass and myself on keyboards — we’ve recorded a couple of albums and had airplay all around the country with our band Corrugated Iron — but I thought it would be nice to spread out and get some female, so I got in touch with Melissa Stamford with whom I’ve worked with before and Cecelia Rochelli who I know from years ago.

“We needed another male voice and Cecilia and Melissa suggested Barry Paterson and we are having a great time, we are really enjoying it and having a lot of fun in the studio!”

Three tracks have been recorded so far, and Ray has signed a recording contract with Blue Pie Records USA for distribution when album is complete next year.

Ray says he is enjoying being able to take his time with the recording process — a silver lining of sorts now that he is not able perform live.

“This is the longest time I’ve been off stage and the longest I’ve ever taken to record an album and it has been wonderful to have the time to think about the songs, about the lyrics,” says Ray. “I’m a songwriter and I love writing songs. It is an intricate artform; the transfer of emotions… Music is good for the soul.”

COUNCIL AT WORK School’s out so head in to the cultural precinct

Orange City Council staff work with businesses along Anson Street as pedestrian mall comes to life A major upgrade of one of the main corridors of Orange’s CBD is set to transform a section of the existing roadway of Anson Street into a new pedestrian mall, part of Council’s Future City plan.

Anson Street will see a 40 metre section of the current road paved to create a raised pedestrian platform with bollards at each end of the platform to separate pedestrians and traffic.

School holiday fun (file photo)

Explore Orange’s cultural precinct this school holidays with a range of free activities designed for children and families.

Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said the Orange Regional Museum, Orange City Library and Orange Regional Galley had joined forces to create a combined school holiday program.

Orange City Council engineers have begun work on design plans to incorporate a cul-de-sac on the Kite Street side of Anson Street, and a new traffic layout towards the Summer Street side of the corridor.

The estimated $1.5 million project will see outdoor dining options, innovative planting and street furniture design, selfsustaining rain gardens and storm water reuse options.

Orange City Council Employment and Economic Committee chair Cr Tony Mileto said this project would create a hive of activity along Anson Street.

benefit from the Anson Street upgrade as the new layout will make it easier for people to move freely along the corridor and out into Summer Street,” Cr Whitton said.

President of the Taxi Cabs of Orange board Ged Denning said all of the taxi board members were in support of the change. He looks forward to working with Council as the plans for Anson Street come to fruition.

“These activities will be sure to keep the kids busy and learning and they’re free, which is wonderful,” Cr Kidd said.

Orange Mayor Cr Reg Kidd said he believes this particular project was the perfect example of how Council was planning well into the future for the residents of Orange.

Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair Cr Scott Munro said the three centres in the cultural precinct had developed a joint activity program centred on their current exhibitions, programs and public artworks.

“A number of projects within Council’s ‘Future City’ implementation plan have been in the pipeline for some time, but now is the time to start moving forward and turning the plans into a reality,” Cr Kidd said.

“Pick up a Creative Challenge Activity Sheet from the museum or library and work your way through 16 activities designed to encourage children and their grown-ups to explore the precinct,” Cr Munro said.

“In a complex location like this, with so many businesses who’ll need to keep operating, the design phase of the project will take more time than usual. That gives us more time to listen to community feed-

“Create your own mini outdoor sculpture, play a video game at the museum, enter the library’s LEGO and craft competitions and more.”

Join in the school holiday nature hunt

“There are a range of activities to suit different ages and interests and they’re all free.”

The museum is also offering free, guided family tours of their current exhibitions Code Breakers: Women in Games and Inherit: Old and New Histories.

Bookings via Eventbrite for all Museum school holiday tours are essential. All children under 14 years old must be accompanied by an adult.

Each child attending a tour will receive a free activity pack, full of things to do at home and in the museum.

As always the library has an extensive collection of books, CDs, DVDs, and magazines ready to be borrowed for the holidays.

The library is also offering free activity kits with colouring-in and upcycling paper craft activities.

Cr Munro encouraged families to explore their own city this school break and take the time to see what was on offer in our own backyard.

“It’s easier than ever to see what’s happening in the cultural precinct during the school holidays with Orange City Council’s School Holiday Calendar,” Cr Munro said.

Head over to: https://www.orange.nsw.gov. au/school-holidays/ and follow individual Eventbrite links to book your activity.

“Local businesses along Anson Street will reap the benefits of the new pedestrian mall once the project comes to life,” Cr Mileto said.

“Although some may assume this plan means we lose some parking spots, that isn’t the case. The new design and layout will see an increase in parking compared to the current number of spots along Anson Street.”

“We had a board meeting at Council where we were shown what was in the works,” Mr Denning said.

Orange City Council’s Infrastructure Committee chair Cr Jeff Whitton said businesses would reap the benefits of the Anson Street upgrade.

“The board was very supportive about the whole idea and we look forward to working with Council.”

Enjoy the outdoors and help scientists around the world gain insights into the biodiversity of our region by joining in the Great Southern Bio Blitz next week.

Orange City Council has registered as part of the global campaign, which encourages citizen scientists to take photographs of a range of different species in their local area and log the details in an app.

Mayor Reg Kidd said the Bio Blitz was a perfect start to the school holidays.

“It’s a wonderful activity for people of all ages to join in on,” he said.

“It’s free, it’s educational and it encourages people to spend time in the great outdoors.

“I will make myself personally available to any children who want to do a Blitz around the Botanic Gardens with me.

“This time of year in Orange is just absolutely perfect so why not enjoy being in nature and help scientists’ research while you’re at it.”

“There are local maps available on Council’s website and Facebook page with walking tracks for people to take as well as a list of the top ten species to look out for.

“We’re interested in finding species such as the Laughing Kookaburra, the Australian Painted Lady butterfly, the Australian Green Mantis and weeds such as Blackberry.

“This is a great opportunity to learn about the local biodiversity,” Cr Nugent said.

“The Bio Blitz is timed perfectly with the start of the school holidays so why not get the family together and go on a nature hunt.”

BRIEFS - The most recent Orange City Council meeting held on Tuesday 16 September 2020 deferred a proposed re-zoning near the new Bloomfield Medical Centre on Forest Road, which could eventually allow a neighbourhood shopping centre to be built.

- The next Orange City Council meeting will be held on Tuesday 6 October 2020.

FAQs: Q: I’ve noticed the Bulky Waste annual fee appear in my rates, but the collection isn’t planned until February. Why is this?

A: Council decided to arrange the bulky waste at a time when there wouldn’t be clashes with other main events and February gave us time to plan for the collection. We’re trying to do things a little differently this time to ensure we cater for all types of bulky waste including more recycling. Even though it appears for the first time on your latest rates notice, each quarterly rates notice spreads those annual charges over the whole year and the Bulky Waste will be collected during this financial year.

CYMS Green overcame Premiership winners, Millthorpe Tigers in their Semi Final and now they bring their ‘giant killing’ form into the Grand Final against Premiership winners Barnstoneworth United. Barnies won the early season 8 vs 8 tournament and have plenty of goals in them, but can they stop the in-form CYMS Green hitting back with some goals of their own.

SEPTEMBER 24—30, 2020

Barnstoneworth have hit form during the Premiership and were winners of the home and away points table with a couple of close wins over CYMS Blue. Their Grand final opposition CYMS Blue were the early season 8 vs 8 tournament winners, therefore have form in the one-off knockout style of game like a Grand Final.

CYMS Green have not lost a game this year and were Premiership winners in the early season 8 vs 8 Champions. But in their two Premiership games against Waratah Utd they have drawn both games. So, everything points to a close U16 Grand Final.

These two teams are full of players who know each other very well, with many of them teammates in various Orange Rep teams over the years.

Barnstoneworth FC have not lost a game this year against Under 15 opposition and were Premiership winners in the early season 8 vs 8 Champions. But their two home and away Premiership wins against Waratah Knights this season have been by close scores. An early goal to Knights in the decider will make for an interesting Grand Final.

VS

CYMS Blue go into the season decider as Premiership winners and have a home and away win, plus a draw, against their Ex-Services opposition who were second place in the Premiership and were the early season 8 vs 8 Champions.

The big question is will Ex-Services earlier knockout win put them in good stead for the Championship or will CYMS Blue’s Premiership dominance pay off in the Grand Final?

UB L C S U B O R P S N E M ORANGE Orange Men’s Probus Club is determined to continue its program of FUN, FRIENDSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP in spite of Covid 19 restrictions. A general meeting of members was held at Orange Services Memorial Club. Social distancing was respected without any difficulties. (see photos).

The Board meeting (first since May) confirmed the Club is financially sound.

Meetings will continue with entertaining guest speakers.

Bob McFarland, Phil Nokes and Tony

Reppen

Secretary Phil Nokes was thanked for keeping members informed and connected during the “shut down,” and also thanks expressed to Orange City Council, Orange Services Memorial Club and Orange City Life for support.

Bob McFarland (aka Charlie Carp) proved an interesting, informative guest speaker. He was born and lived on the lower Lachlan river, and spent seven years being educated and learning to be strong and independent at Geelong College.

Bob describes himself as a passionate environmentalist on a mission. He says “Bush Lives Matter” and has respect for the flora and fauna including the humans who inhabit his area, with special respect for soldier settlers who took on blocks of virgin land with no services; no roads, power or telephones etc.

Bob began his career with little but the three Ls, the Lord, Love and Luck, and has led a full productive, happy life. He believes both men and women have wonderful qualities which should be respected and developed.

Bob earned the name Charlie Carp for his involvement in turning European carp (the rabbits of the rivers) into fertilizer. Carp can be trapped because they feed and travel differently from other fish. This fertilizer has produced amazing results with a Guinness Book world record 258 kg pumpkin and a carrot more than a meter long. He has turned a pest into a resource.

As a grazier, Bob established Old Man Saltbush on degraded land, and believed that Australians should copy the natural system of grazing as in Africa where animals, like wildebeests migrate naturally.

Next meeting is at Orange Services Memorial Club on 7th October with guest speaker, retired Professor Kevin Parton. All are welcome

THUMBS UP to the lovely lady that greeted me when I went to Orange Hospital Emergency. She worked in the waiting room. Her name was Angie. She made sure I was okay and explained what the wait time was before I got to see the doctor. She sat with me and listened to all my woes. She made me feel safe, comfortable and kept me aware of the process.

Thank you for making a what I thought might be a stressful visit, a good visit.

BIG THUMBS UP to the person who found my wallet and handed it in to Harris Farm with everything in tact. My grateful THANK YOU! THUMBS DOWN to the road

raging lowlife in a blue Volvo who nearly crashed into my car at Top Wash on Monday afternoon 7/9/20 . You weren’t even going in there, I gave you enough time to indicate and plus you could have gone around me instead of blasting your horn at me . Please go and hand your license into the police station.

THUMBS UP to the guys at BCF for the service, consideration and help they gave a senior citizen regarding a gazebo.

A BIG THUMBS UP to the yards man at Australian Native Landscape. We went there last Saturday morning and what a pleasant person he was at helping us with our load of soil. A big thank you. The management there need to take care of such great staff.

THUMBS DOWN to the people who park their cars on the side of the road at Dudley Private Hospital as you come out of the drive-way, you cannot see who is coming from the left. I just missed being hit by another car. This needs attention right away before there is an accident. Better be safe than sorry don’t you think?

BIG THUMBS UP to the

hardworking owners and staff of Patmos Restaurant. We had lunch there last Friday and were not disappointed. It was lovely to support one of our local businesses and with such a warm welcome and great food, we will be back in the not too distant future.

BIG THUMBS UP to young

blonde man at Pete’s Car Wash for great customer service.

BIGGEST THUMBS UP to Daniel at United BJJ on Peisley Street. When enquiring about private lessons in self-defence, he made me feel comfortable and safe to try something that had always seemed daunting.

THUMBS DOWN to the grandfather playing tag in the local supermarket 3/9, have some consideration for other shoppers.

THUMBS UP to all of those who show kindness and empathy within our community. Whether this be on our roads, through our streets or within our local businesses.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for stopping the free bulky clean up, just take a look at Ophir, where there is no free bulky clean up. People who party there just leave their rubbish there because they can’t take it home to get rid of it. So Council, bring back the free bulky clean up and you can stop all this.

THUMBS UP from a very happy customer of Frame Effect.

The staff went above and beyond to frame a painting for our son’s birthday with not a lot of notice.

Thank you from a very grateful customer.

THUMBS DOWN to the driver of a white dual cab who ploughed at force into the beautiful Blayney geese, killing two of them. How cruel and unwarranted.

BIG THUMBS UP to Nathan Rodwell’ Roofing By Rockets’ and his team for such a good job replacing an old iron roof for an elderly lady in Edward St. They did a lovely job .Very quickly (almost finished the whole job in a day ) and didn’t leave any mess behind ,and at a very good price too. Thank you Nathan. You were recommended to me so I will recommend you to others .

THUMBS UP to The Victoria Hotel for looking after the 3 ladies on Saturday night 12th September.

The management and staff went beyond their duties to look after us. Also great food and music.

THUMBS DOWN to a group of students who have got nothing better to do after school then harass an old disabled lady by repeatedly knocking on her door in Lawson Crescent and then running off. This is frightening, you should be ashamed of yourself, why don’t you use your energy by doing something constructive, learning some manners would be a good start.

THUMBS UP to Councilor Glen Taylor for his council free wood bank to supply wood for the needy people. Shame it only entitles the needy to only one load, lasts about 2 weeks over 4 months of winter.

THE THUMBS REPRESENT THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS OF READERS AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THOSE OF ORANGE CITY LIFE STAFF. EVERY CARE IS TAKEN NOT TO PUBLISH THUMBS THAT ARE CONSIDERED DEROGATORY OR DEFAMATORY IN NATURE
