THIS WEEK’S COVER
That it has. I’m one of those people who firmly believe we’re here to serve others, not just ourselves. Serving others brings its own rewards and, speaking for myself, the more I serve others, the better I feel, and I can honestly say that I don’t believe I’ve missed out on anything important as a result, in fact, I feel greatly-blessed in the areas that matter. Orange City Life has always been about the people we serve, our readers, our advertisers and, on a broader front, our community. Of course, our staff come in there as well. I think our continued success, in an environment when many publications are struggling or even falling-over, the way we’ve served others, has been a major factor. In business, it’s a well-known belief that your customers will only go elsewhere when they feel you’re not meeting their needs. Your loyalty, be you a reader, an advertiser, or an employee, has kept OCL going and I’m sure that, even with a change of ownership, that won’t change. The new owner Tim Pankhurst, thinks and operates much like my wife Jackie and I always have and that’s why his similar publication in Dubbo (Dubbo Photo News) is as popular there as OCL is here. So, it’s basically onward and upward, even though not much will change under Tim’s ownership, our team all know their jobs and do them very well and I expect Tim will leave them to do their thing, just like I have been forced to do for the past year or more. Go team! I’ll still be around and will probably contribute occasionally in one way or another. What’s that saying? "You can take the man out of the game, but you can’t take the game out of the man!", or something similar with that sentiment. Please keep supporting and enjoying OCL, it really is something special and, like I’ve said so many times, very few places like Orange (and Dubbo) have anything like it.
Go well everyone! Bob (and Jackie)

Bob and Jackie Holland - WHERE TO NOW? — BOB HOLLAND —
Sometimes life doesn’t work out the way we expect. That’s what happened to me and my much-loved wife Jackie 15 months back. Jackie was diagnosed with a rare and fatal brain disease and given as little as four months to live. It’s now been fifteen months and she’s still with me, that fact alone has shaped what we’re about to do and where we may go from here. This is the last issue of Orange City Life under our ownership, from next week the business will be in the hands of our good friend, Tim Pankhurst who has owned and operated a similar business in Dubbo for the past fifteen years, Dubbo Photo News. Like us, Tim has a heart for what we do and why we do it, it’s not all about money and profits, it’s about people, community, and helping each other enjoy a better life. I can’t think of anyone more qualified than Tim, who I’d rather see carry on the work Jackie and I have started. Tim will do a great job and doesn’t plan to change anything that the Orange community has come to appreciate and enjoy in OCL. That said, and before Jackie and I step-back, let me say a few words about where we’ve been and where we are heading, this is only for those who may be interested. For over 10 years, Jackie and I have owned and operated Orange City Life. It’s had a few name changes over those years for various reasons, Orange Photo News and Central West Photo News before becoming Orange City Life, but essentially, it’s always been the same newspaper/magazine format. During that time, we have tried a lot of things, some good, some not so good - I have found that, unless you try something, you never really know whether it’s a good idea or not, and we’ve tried heaps. I have no regrets about anything we’ve done. We’ve also pleased a lot of people and at times disappointed various people for one reason or another. In this day and age, you will never satisfy everyone, and sometimes even the best intentions can be misread or mis-interpreted. Everyone has their own different expectations and it’s impossible to meet everyone’s every time. On balance, win, lose or draw, we’ve always tried to 4 JUNE 24—30, 2021
do the right thing for the majority of people.
pollies Andrew Gee and Phil Donato. We’ve given Council some stick at times, but full credit to them for sticking with us in the way that they have.
From day one, our mission has been to try and bring out the best in people and we’ve always tried to do things that encourage that. Sometimes, we’ve had to be critical to do that but, for the most part, we’ve tried to bring you stories about people and things that inspire us to do life better.
So where to know Seriously, I have no clear idea, but I have two scenarios in mind. What happens with Jackie will determine what we or I do next.
We’ve weathered lots of storms, the global financial crisis, fierce competition from giant competitors, the demise of newspapers generally, and more recently, the pandemic. You can judge the reasons on why we’ve survived for yourself, but I’m sure it has something to do with the type of people we are, the way we do business, and the product we produce. Regrets? I probably only have one that matters. I have tried for years and years to get our Council or the Business Chamber or some other body like those to promote and market our non-hospitality retail businesses in a fair and equal manner to those in the hospitality area. I put a lot of money and sweat into our Hearts for Orange initiative and thought that this would finally show them what could and needed to be done, I really thought our Council would support that. They didn’t. Don’t fully know why, but suspect pride and ego had something to do with it, and the fact that they probably couldn’t accept that anyone would do something like I did without an ulterior motive. I do regret failing in that, but I can rest in the knowledge that I gave it a red-hot go and several business owners benefitted at the time. Jackie and I have every reason to feel proud of our efforts with the business and, on that, we must say that none of it could have been achieved without great staff over all those years, loyal readers, and a myriad of advertisers who put their faith in us and their money. It can never be understated that, without the vast number of advertisers who have supported us, there would be no Orange City Life. Dare I say it, Orange City Council has been a major supporter in that area as have our local
If she dies in due course as the medical profession says she will, I have no idea what I will do. I have no plan for that scenario other than to pick myself up and do whatever I need to, to survive and pay the bills. If however, God intervenes and she is miraculously healed, I know exactly what we will be doing.
...From day one, our mission has been to try and bring out the best in people and we’ve always tried to do things that encourage that...
I would like to establish a website called National Christian Life and see if I can build that to have the same sort of following nationally or even internationally that OCL has here in Orange. I think our world, more than ever, needs encouragement and direction and as a Christian I think our churches for one, can play a bigger part in helping people negotiate all that life is throwing at us now. Many people are suffering, Jackie and I are among them, and we now know how much God’s help means in a crisis. Even with all the suffering, the constant tears, and the relentless routine of caring for Jackie, I could not have done it without God’s help. Christians will know exactly what I’m talking about, and I’d like others, those who don’t acknowledge God, to discover the love that He has for all people and then experience it for themself. I know our world would be very different for the better, if more people did. Yes, it’s a big dream and I can’t wait to see whether Jackie and I get a chance to pursue it, with God’s help and blessing. I only see this as something we’d do together, so Jackie being miraculously healed is vital for it to happen. I’ve said it so often and I’ll say it again, stay tuned, the final chapter in our story is still being written.
Thanks for the memories everyone and go well!

Comment with David Dixon
Every-day is a chance to change lazy school daze American film-maker Steve Soderbergh once said that he had taken a contract out on his own life. The contract would only be activated, (he joked), if he ever made a movie about high school! Watching a series of accomplished dance, choral, orchestral, rock, and, acting presentations by young performers from my son’s school at Orange Civic Centre recently, I wondered about the recurring-appeal of movies, television shows, and popular literature, that are based around those fleeting high school years that bridge child and adulthood. My theory is that, this is the last time in our lives when we are randomly throwntogether with a completely representative cross-section of our peers; because as soon as we go onto further study or the workforce, we start self-selecting into groups with similar interests, temperaments, or professional objectives as our own. This theory would also explain that other staple of unimaginative Hollywood producers — the random group thrown=together by disaster — plane hijacking, weather emergency, zombie apocalypse, or that raw group of army recruits miraculously-transformed into a fighting battalion!
AROUND THE REGION
Highlight of the concert for many was the high-energy performance of Guns’n’Roses classic, Sweet Child of Mine. Hearing the young lead guitarist’s almostfaultless playing of the iconic introductory riff, gave this this old rocker a twinge of regret.
OCLife
What former school-yard slouch, now tied to a computer terminal and a mortgage, hasn’t looked back at the opportunities freely-offered at school — and often rejected due to shyness, wanting to appear cool, or dead laziness — and thought of how they would live their youth differently if given a second chance. This longing ties in well to that last great movie stand-by — the time travel back into our own past storyline. But of course, looking back with regret at what we wished we’d done in the past — taken that trip, joined the school rock group, asked the girl out — is, in a sense, making the same mistake twice. Because it is never too old to learn a new skill and take-up an opportunity that you denied yourself in the past. Gave-up playing guitar as a kid and regret never having your shot at rock and roll fame? It’s never too late to get-together a garage band of other middle-aged friends and having a few rehearsals. Wished you’d had a lash at that great novel you always thought you had inside you? Sit down one night, turn off the streaming services, and start putting pen to paper.

Wish you’d hitch-hiked the hippy trails of India and north Africa in the glory days of your youth? Well, they’re still there, and probably a lot safer and more comfortable than they were in the 1960s and 1970s. Pining for the lost opportunities of the past is a game you can never win because, no matter what we do, we just keep getting older! Besides, if I ever got the chance to go back to 1979, I’d probably spend all my time over-again hanging with my friends and collecting St George football player collector cards, anyway!

Variety is the spice of life
FOR NEW “GRAB AND GO” OWNER, CHRISTINE Home-made pies and sausage rolls are great, but variety is the spice of life, Christine White believes. Recently taking-over beloved local homemade pie shop, Grab and Go at 167 Hill St, Christine has expanded into a new breakfast menu and ready-to-go and fresh-made wraps, burgers, rolls toasties, and delicious soups. Finding herself at a loose-end a few months back, Christine thought it was a great time to get back into the hospitality and food industry in which she thrived for six years with her food truck, Burgers & Beef servicing both regional and metropolitan areas. “I didn’t really know what I wanted to do, but I thought, ‘I’m going to work for myself,’ and I love working with people,” she said. “We’re starting to pick-up with word-ofmouth, everything is a risk, but I’m very confident I can build this business. I could really see its potential,” she added excitedly. The spic’n’span converted butcher shop is now doing a busy trade opening at 6.30am for the tradie breakfast traffic, before the lunchtime rush for their iconic home-made sausage rolls and pies ranging from beef and gravy; cheese and bacon, steak and pepper; beef and
vegetable; and curry. “They focused on their home-made pies and sausage rolls for which the shop is famous for, and we’re now moving into so much more,” Christine explained.
“We’ve still got all of the old regulars, but we want people to also realise that we’re now not just a pie shop but offer so much more, why not come in and see the options,” Christine said.
“We’re doing quite a good range of burgers, fresh wraps, sandwiches rolls… our mornings are fantastic. There’s not many other places open at that time!” she added.
Both Christine and Bernadette place a high emphasis on quick service with the shopfront designed for fast turn-around and pick-up at all times.
“At that time, we’re focussing on the early tradies with specials on breakfast rolls and coffees. We did a bacon and egg roll and coffee breakfast for $10 which brought a lot of people in.”
“A lot of our food is ready to go, and customers can pre-order, that’s why we’re called ‘Grab and Go’ we don’t want them to have to wait to be served,” she added.
With Australians now one of the most discerning coffee drinkers in the world, Christine has selected a special ‘Caffeine Collective’ blend from local roaster, Bills Beans for all their coffees. “What’s good, is that we’re starting to get some positive comments on social media, Facebook, and the like,” Christine added. Currently open from 6.30am till 2pm Monday to Friday and 7am till 1pm Saturdays. Christine is working with old friend and colleague from the hospitality game, Bernadette Blackburn.
167 Hill Street, Orange 6 JUNE 24—30, 2021
Christine remembers a time when personal service at small corner shops was the norm in the Colour City and everyone knew their local shop-keeper. She’s now revived that great Aussie tradition with a new twist, the suburban take-away with the friendly smile and the freshly-made hot food. “I’m born and bred in Orange, we’re the only shop of this kind up this end of town, why not drop-in and grab a bite?” “A new face is a good face, we want new people to come in and have a look at what we are offering,” Christine concluded.

Newcrest’s Fundraising Beyond the Curve injects funds into community organisations Forty-two local community groups including charities, not-for-profit organisations and school P&C’s have received an injection of funds through Newcrest’s Fundraising Beyond the Curve Program. Local community groups across Blayney, Cabonne and Orange whose fundraising activities have been hampered by COVID-19 have received grants of up to $5,000 to help with their fundraising efforts. The initiative is part of the Newcrest $20M Community Support Fund established last year to assist host communities with the challenges associated with COVID-19. The program administered by Central NSW Business HQ has also provided support to organisations through a business advisor to discuss how they can adapt their existing fundraising opportunities and identify new and

Central West NSW Business HQ Acting Chief Executive Officer, Michelle Smith, said it is great to see the value the program is providing to the local community.
Newcrest Mining’s Cadia Valley Operations General Manager, Aaron Brannigan, said it was important to support those organisations who do so much for the community.
“We’ve received a great cross-section of applicants from across the region, including sporting groups, schools, charities, as well as notfor profit organisations. We had applicants who had the majority of their budget wiped out for 12 months, so it’s great to help get them back on their feet not only through the funding injection, but also through the support of our advisors.”
“The pandemic has been an incredibly challenging time for community groups, many of which rely on fundraising as their major source of income.”
“There was a common theme throughout the applications for the need to move to digital enablement in order to succeed in a post COVIDenvironment and we are also looking at ways we

— SAMUEL RODWELL — It was another chilly-windy day for Orange last Thursday, but the show had to go on for the inaugural "Interschool Catholic Cup" held at James Sheahan Catholic High School! Students from Red Bend Catholic College travelled from Forbes to face-off with the James Sheahan students on their home-turf for the first-round covering nine sporting categories and four major events. The sporting categories ranged from boys and girls soccer, touch football, netball, basketball, rugby league, league-tag, and ultimate frisbee. The day also saw students competing in more cerebral pursuits such as chess, debating, theatre-sports, and STEM challenges. James Sheahan’s Sports Coordinator, Kylie Jordan explained: “It’s an opportunity for the high schools in the Diocese to come together, not only on the sporting fields, but also culturally and academically as well. "For us, it’s been in the making for a long time; 10 to 15 years the students have been asking to do something like this. It’s great to finally see it come-together for the students and participating schools.” James Sheahan eventually triumphed over Red Bend in the first round; no doubt thanks to their home-field advantage and supporting fellow students spectating and cheering their way to victory. Round Two will take the James Sheahan students to St John’s College, Dubbo with the third and final round to determine the eventual winner of the tournament.

Campaign to target new customers for Meals on Wheels The impact of isolation faced by elderly Orange residents is being targeted by a new media campaign aimed at boosting the profile of ‘Meals on Wheels’. With a special one-off grant from the Commonwealth Government Department of Health (Commonwealth Home Support Emergency Support for COVID-19 program), Orange City Council’s community services team is working towards helping more seniors stay healthy and in their own homes. The Australian Government has funded Orange City Council’s ‘Choices at Home’ community services team $70,000 to boost its home support program by: • increasing staff hours, • creating more programs and • promoting the service to increase the access to meals for seniors. Member for Calare Andrew Gee has welcomed the funding. “Meals on Wheels is much more than a meal delivery service, providing wholesome food and friendly faces to hundreds of Orange residents each week. The service helps our local seniors stay healthy and continue to live independently in their own homes,” Mr Gee said. “If the families and friends of our senior residents live far away, or don’t have day-to-day
“Thankfully our volunteers are also back after the initial virus threat passed. We have more funding and are delivering more meals to more people.

contact, it can be hard to make sure they are being looked after. That’s why Meals on Wheels is such a vital service and why this funding is so worthwhile. Our community owes a great debt of gratitude to the workers and volunteers of Meals on Wheels, who are true community heroes,” Mr Gee said. Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said the funding was primarily used to boost Council’s Meals on Wheels program. “We’ve been able to fund additional hours to help package and deliver meals to those most vulnerable in our community,” Cr Kidd said. “We’re also advertising the services to a broader demographic. Anyone over 65 years or 55 years for people who are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, could be eligible for the programs on offer.”
“But we have the capacity to increase those numbers. If you are someone, or you know someone who could do with an extra meal or two during the week, please get in contact with Council.” Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair Cr Scott Munro said Council’s Choices at Home program offers a range of services to help older people have more “good days at home.” “These services include home visits, a shopping service, Telecare, minor maintenance around the home, group activities such as bus trips and movie mornings, as well as cooking classes and exercise groups,” Cr Munro said. “Social support services are just as important to the health and wellbeing of older people and physical health services and check-ups. “Making sure people are still connected with their communities and making sure they still get out of the house helps keep people motivated and mentally well. “People who keep doing everyday tasks live better and longer and Council’s programs help them achieve that.” For information about Council’s Choices at Home programs please contact 6393 8968 or head to www.orange.nsw.gov.au/choices-at-home
BRIEFS: — The next regular Orange City Council meeting will be held on Tuesday June 6, 2021.
FAQs: Q: Why is there an Extraordinary Council Meeting scheduled for Monday 28 June 2021? Orange City Council has set a date to consider the proposal to remove up to 250 trees from the site of a new sports precinct. The Council will meet Monday 28 June at 7pm, with the tree decision the only item on the agenda. The Development Application (DA) to remove trees, on the site next to the Jack Brabham sports field, needs approval from both the NSW Heritage Council and Orange City Council. It’s expected Orange City Council would consider another DA to remove trees on the rest of the site later in the year, after the Heritage Council has considered the matter. However, if the DA is supported at Monday night’s meeting, work would begin in the coming weeks to remove the first trees.
Indigenous artist starts next McNamara Street mural Local artist Sandon GibbsO’Neill is the next artist to create a mural in McNamara Street as part of Orange City Council’s FutureCity upgrade of the area. • PLANT: Artist’s impression of the proposed Storco plant on Clergate Road
Council meeting supports new sheet-metal plant The Orange City Council meeting held on Tuesday 15 June gave its support to plans by Storco to build a $5.7 million sheet-metal manufacturing plant in Clergate Drive. The proposal is to build a $6,700 square metre building which would employee around thirty full-time employees. Because of the scale of the project, planning approval will be considered by the Western Regional Planning Panel.
Sandon Gibbs-O’Neill is a proud Nhunngabarra man who is inspired by the legacy of his Grandfather, Tex Skuthorpe, a highly respected Nhunggal man, artist, teacher and author. Sandon’s FutureCity Public Art Project mural Community is a contemporary design that draws on aspects of traditional Aboriginal art. The mural is being created on the Canobolas Hotel garage in the McNamara Street carpark.
“It’s really good and important to see Aboriginal art out in public,” Sandon said. Of the four artists involved in the first instalment of the project, two are locals:

Losing his sight along with his career as a television cameraoperator and floor manager — Doug Spicer turned to his next great love, music! Doug’s return as the highly-popular presenter on community radio after a hiatus of 18-months signals the upheavals of the past few years are finally-settled at 107.5FM. “Most people on the radio know me as ‘Dusty Doug’; I grew-up in a country music family, my father was one of western NSW’s best-known country recording artists — they were known as ‘Roy Spicer and his Bashbox Buddies’,” Doug said proudly.
program,” he said. He said that his views as a broadcaster are based on an elegantly-simple philosophy.
Doug’s musical vision A HIT ON COMMUNITY RADIO
Doug’s own career started as a closed-circuit operator for the army before landing a role with the local television station when operating in Orange.
Retiring to Port Macquarie, he threw himself into bushwalking, a beloved hobby that he could still enjoy, until a move back to Orange forced his hand.
“I started doing stringer (freelance) work at Mid-State TV and then became a cameraman and floor manager at Prime,” he said. “I worked there from 1982 to about 1994, and it was the journo’s who I was driving to jobs who noticed my vision problems first,” he said.
“There wasn’t a bushwalking club here, so I decided to occupy myself, doing a country radio show on community radio. It was called the ‘Big Country Lunch’ and I ended-up doing five threehour programs a week, I was almost full-time,” he laughed.
“I hadn’t really noticed it, and yet when I got tested, I was already legally-blind with Retinitis pigmentosa (degenerating retina),” Doug explained.
He left the station during the tumult of the past few years and only returned recently with a 9-12 noon slot playing “Dusty Rewinds” featuring baby-boomer pop, rock, country music,
and crooners. “I came back to Orange 7–8 years ago and found no-one was playing the type of music we grew up with,” he added. “I like people like Kenny Rogers, Johnny Cash, Doris Day, Dinah Shore, and Bing Crosby,simpletype music that’s easy to listen to,” he explained.
“I went in to doing radio and didn’t follow anyone else’s ideas, I play a bracket of four songs without saying anything and keep the talk down,” he explained. “A lot of presenters talk too much; they all want to all have a little bit of an ego. I know my limitations, not to talk all the time, that’s not why people are listening,” he said. Long hoped-for installation of a new transmitter on Mt Canobolas, held up by inclement weather forecasts and technician availability at the moment, will really see the community station cooking with gas, Doug believes. “The station’s coming back, we’re on the right track,” he said. Doug is not the kind of person to let his condition keep him down, even, unbelievably, helping-out with photography for a local community group. “I’m also known as the ‘blind photographer for Orange historical society,’ they line the image up, and I take it,” he explained.
While small community radio stations normally don’t conduct formal listener ratings, anecdotally, his show is consistently popular.
With his father’s love of music (his Dad once defeated rock legend Johnny O’Keefe, then singing as a crooner, in a national talent quest), music has become his natural sanctuary after his retirement.
“About 10 years ago, the station did a survey, and I was really bowled-over when it turned-out that mine proved to be the most popular
“I wouldn’t say it’s the best thing in the world, but I think it’s certainly one of the best,” Doug concluded.

The air was abuzz with excitement at St Joseph’s Catholic Primary School as Farmer Charlotte from the ‘Kids to Farms’ program visited with some special friends. Our students were treated to hands-on practical learning, engaging input from Farmer Charlotte and many opportunities to ask questions. Students sat and listened attentively as Charlotte spoke about the needs of animals, the types of crops that grow on farms, and how the weather affects life on the farm. One lucky student got to help Farmer Charlotte make up the milk to feed the poddy lambs.
OUR ECONOMY IS ON TRACK TO COME BACK
Australia’s economy is on track to come back. In fact, our economy outperformed all major advanced economies in 2020. In the second half of 2020, it grew at the fastest pace on record and there are now more people in work than before the pandemic.
CONTINUING OUR COMEBACK To build upon the progress we’ve made, the next steps in the plan provide more support for individuals, families and businesses to help secure the economy and create more jobs.
JOB CREATION IS ON TRACK Over the next 10 years, many more local jobs will be created and secured through investment in roads, rail and community infrastructure. More homes will be built in more communities thanks to HomeBuilder and the New Home Guarantee. More training will be available through JobTrainer. There’ll be new apprenticeships, traineeships and more places in higher education. And there’ll be more opportunities for families to access work with more affordable childcare.
SMALL BUSINESSES ARE ON TRACK We’re supporting hard hit industries such as aviation, tourism and international education. And continuing tax incentives, such as the Instant Asset Write-off, to encourage businesses to invest, to grow and to create more jobs.
We’re improving employment services so that employers and job seekers are more easily matched. And our $1.2 billion investment in digital infrastructure, skills, and incentives means that more businesses in communities right across Australia can be part of the thriving digital economy.
LOWER TAXES & GREATER SUPPORT FOR MORE AUSTRALIANS Tax cuts for 10 million low and middle income earners will put more money in their pockets to spend at local businesses, creating more economic activity and more jobs. It’s a plan that will not only help Australia come back, but come back better than ever.

Next on the agenda was the exciting task of feeding the two lambs. We all ventured out into the cold to do this, and it was definitely worth it if the smiles, laughter, and squeals of delight were anything to go by. Stage Two discussed food and fibres with Farmer Charlotte and how they are produced on farms. They learned about the life-cycle of a plant, what a plant needs to grow, and even planted their own corn kernels to grow in the classroom. The students in Stage Three learned about the different types of soil and what crops are best grown in them depending on their pH levels. It was then time to test the soil in various areas of the school yard to determine their pH levels. Farmer Charlotte spoke about how all of this is important in relation to rainfall and drought, and how farmers manage their crops and livestock during these periods. Overall, the students at St Joseph’s thoroughly enjoyed their incursion through the ‘Kids to Farms’ program. We thank Farmer Charlotte and her team for the opportunity to engage in such informative, hands-on, and exciting experiences.

GAME-CHANGING UK-AUSTRALIA TRADE DEAL
WELCOME TO OUR NEW AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS
In good news for our region, Australian farmers are set to gain greater market access to the UK after a new Free Trade Agreement with the United Kingdom was announced on June 17.
I recently had the pleasure of giving a very warm welcome to some of our region’s newest citizens!
√ $100,000 for new stadium seating at Wade Park
From day one of this agreement, 99% of Australian goods exported to the UK will be tariff-free. We were also able to secure phased-in tariff-free and quota-free entry for our key agricultural exports, which is a significant achievement given the high levels of protection that exists in Britain.
√ $3 million for a second radiotherapy unit at Orange Health Service
There will also be a new Ag Visa which will has been welcomed by local farming oranisations and which will meet farmer-sector labour shortages.
√ $15,000 for a new hydrotherapy spa at Anson Street School
Thanks to this game-changing deal, the Brits will now be able to enjoy the best of Aussie wine, farm produce and other delights, such as our very own Chiko Roll, produced at the Simplot plant in Bathurst!
√ $1.42 million for an upgrade of Clergate Road √ $8,000,000 for an investigation of fast rail from Syd Parkes √ $2,000,000 for Stage 4 of Southern Feeder Road project √ $1,243,593 for new contemporary and flexible learning spaces at St Mary’s Catholic School √ $1,200,000 for CCTV in Orange, Bathurst and Wellington √ $1,118,979 for The Orchard crisis accommodation centre $2,000,000 for local projects under the Drought Communities Program
The Aborisage family (pictured below) moved from Nigeria to Australia in 2016, and made Orange their home 3 years ago. It was wonderful to see them make their pledge to Australia alongside a lovely group of people born across the globe, and officially become Australian citizens. We wish all our new citizens a lifetime of happiness!
BANK CLOSURES - NOT GOOD ENOUGH! Almost two weeks after the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) pulled out of Molong and Blayney, bank executives have visited the two towns to offer nothing but excuses and poor alternatives! It’s highly insulting for the banks to consult with our communities after the horse has bolted and the branch doors have closed. These bank branches provided essential services to our regional businesses, producers and also to our elderly and vulnerable people, who cannot easily access the digital alternatives. This week in Parliament I’m working on initiating a Parliamentary inquiry into regional banking services. We need to shine light on this issue.

KNOWING. Try and hide all you want, but it’s a losing battle. I know some people refuse to do it, but I’m a big fan of ‘tracking’ via the QR code. Over the past 18 months, our world has become a very different place, and like it or not I think we all have to play or role in making it safe, and then continuing to keep it safe. For the first few months, most of us jumped on board the COVID safe check-in app and QR code provided by Service NSW. It was a novelty, it worked, and we all thought we might have to do it for ‘just a few weeks’. Reality has now set in, and it’s well over a year since we’ve been scanning at the door of every/most places we visit, with no end in sight. I’m thinking there are two main reasons why the impact of the tracing is wearing off a bit in our state. Firstly, the 26 million of us living in the luckiest country in the universe have become a little bit blasé about how serious this could all be if it turns to poop like it has in many other countries. Saying “she’ll be right” is only good up to a certain point. One minute, freedom, next minute, lockdown. The second reason is because of what happened to that bloke everyone now calls ‘BBQ-guy’. He was conducting his business, visited half a dozen bbq stores in his travels, ending up being COVID positive, and then his entire contact tracing history was plastered all over the TV, radio and newspapers for everyone to absorb, heckle and take in for their amusement. He was the butt of jokes for a whole week. Having the general public ‘knowing’ about your every move isn’t exactly the cup of tea of most people, so some have stopped checking in at 100% of the places
they visit. Let’s be real. It’s almost impossible to live ‘off the grid’ in 2021. If you use a plastic card or tap your phone to pay for something, then your every move is tracked. If you buy a packet of chips at the supermarket, then you’ll get a notification next time they’re on special. Search for a new TV online, and you’ll be smashed with ads, emails and promos for all things electrical. My daughter, the closest to a conspiracy theory believer in our family, is positive that the ‘CIA’ know our every move, and I kind-of have to agree with her to an extent. You’ve all had it happen to you, haven’t you? You’re talking about Real Estate or Solar Powered Fountains (my two crazy examples over the past week), and suddenly stories or ads about these items pop-up in your social media feed … yep, just talking about them, not even searching or purchasing. So, maybe it’s a little naïve to think ‘hiding’ your movements by not using the tracing apps is a method that will work. Turn off location services you say? Sure.
LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB Refugee Week: How often do you find yourself thinking about how fortunate we are to live in such an amazing place? This really is a wonderful place to live. We never need to think twice about going to a café. We can send our kid’s off to school without fearing for their safety. We can go about our daily lives without fear of the government. We live in safety. We live in prosperity. We live in freedom. We really are so fortunate to be where we are. But that is sadly not the story for so many people in our world. According to Amnesty International, there are approximately 1.19 million men, women and children who have been displaced and are seeking asylum. That is 1.19 million people who do not live with the same freedoms that we so often take for granted here in Australia (and that is not including those who are suffering oppression throughout the world through government regimes etc.). This week is Refugee Week. It runs from the 20-26th of June. It is a time where we can stop and think about the plight of so many people who have had to flee their homes in search of safety. It is a time to hear the stories of people who have left their homes. It is a time to think about how each of us can respond with compassion to the vulnerable and displaced. As I think about the lives of people who have had to flee their homes in search of safety, I am filled with sadness. I think about the
Think a bit more widely, but imagine if we’d had something like a QR code back in the days of Smallpox? When (if?) all of this is ever over, I’m thinking we should actually keep the QR codes and tracing apps going. There could be a chance that once we’ve ridour land of COVID, we might actually be able to get on top of those other winter nasties that hit us hard each year like the Flu and Gastro. Sure, there are many Karen’s (sorry to all the lovely Karen’s out there ) and BBQ guys who think going against the flow is actually their ‘right’ and won’t do any harm. But, like my baby girl says, they already know everything about you anyway, so you might as well just jump on board.

images of Syrian beaches, of overcrowded boats. Of people crying out for mercy. I think of high fences and hopelessness. It makes me long for something better. How can we learn about the struggles of the refugee? How can we care for those who are displaced? Part of the Christian ethic is to care deeply for the needs of the refugee. In one part of the Bible it says this: ‘When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do them wrong’ and in another place, this: ‘He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.’ It is not our place to turn our back on the needy. It is not our place to turn away from those who are seeking out safety. There have sadly been many times when Christians have turned their backs on those seeking refuge. This is a tragedy. There have been many times when we as a society have failed to offer help to those who are seeking it. But if we were in that same situation, wouldn’t we long for compassion to be shown to us? Wouldn’t you long to find a place of refuge as you seek to start a new life? I want to challenge you to think about the plight of the refugee. Learn more of their stories. Think about how we can care for those who have been displaced and share our wonderful community with those from across the globe.

more volunteers needed
Volunteers Chris and Marg from Ronald McDonald House Charities Orange celebrating Volunteers Week recently.
RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE:
Increased demand for accommodation at Ronald McDonald House Charities in Orange has sparked a call for more locals to be part of a 24-hour roster at the facility. Retired schoolteacher Narelle Gordon says volunteering at the house has opened a whole new world for her. “I have met so many interesting people from all walks of life. And I have made some lovely new friends as we also have social activities away from the house.” Narelle’s role is to help-out with administration shifts with other volunteers also encouraged to come forward to help with room cleaning and housekeeping, administration, outdoor maintenance, and overnight volunteering.
Ronald McDonald House Charities Executive Officer, Rebecca Walsh described volunteers as: “the Heart of the House”. “We are so grateful to our wonderful volunteers, but we are looking to build-up our numbers as we are running at very high occupancy.” Since the house opened, 895 families have stayed free-of-charge for a total of 7285 nights with other complimentary services including emergency meals, breakfasts, in-room toiletries, grocery items, and gift bags of new books, toys, and activities for children staying at Orange Hospital. THE volunteers make a ‘beautiful difference’ in the lives of families who have a sick child, Ms Walsh added. With the exception of two paid staff — Ms Walsh and House Manager, Bronwyn Cooper —volunteers provide
the majority of support to families at the house. Overnight volunteer, Jacquie Paix says she gains a great deal of satisfaction from volunteering and knowing that Ronald McDonald House in Orange provides a place for families close to the hospital, free of charge. “Often when you volunteer for an organisation, you don’t get to see first-hand the difference it can make to people’s lives. “The lovely thing about Ronald McDonald House volunteering for me is, that you actually get to speak to the families we are supporting at the house,” Jacquie said. One grateful family from Bogan Gate who recently utilised the facility, made this comment: “You are awesome. There is never a place like home but, if there was, you would be a 10”.
If you think you would like to become a volunteer at Ronald McDonald House Charities, call 6363 1960 during business hours or email: admin.orange@ rmhc.org.au All training is provided free of charge and a uniform is provided.
Looking at being your own boss? Meet Orange Family Day Care Educator Chloe Parsons: It is just after morning tea time and Chloe and her Family Day Care children are busy playing in a sun soaked play area just off the family kitchen. It has been set up with activities and learning opportunities programmed especially for each child in her care. In a former life Chloe worked in an administrative role for a local psychological practice but had always dreamed of working in her own business in the early childhood sector. ” I love the freedom and flexibility of being self-employed. I am able to choose the days/hours of work that best suits my family. I also love to be at home spending time with my own children while earning an income. My youngest child really enjoys the social
interaction and structure of the day at home while my eldest child is at pre-school.”
invaluable in getting her started in her dream career.
Chloe made the decision to study for her Certificate III in Early Childhood and approached Orange Family Day Care to become and educator with the service. Her timing couldn’t have been better as Orange City Council had just launched the Family Day Care Start Up Scheme providing $2000 towards the startup costs for new educators who register with the Orange Family Day Care service.
“The amazing support and inhouse training provided by Orange Family Day Care has made the process so easy to set up my own Family Day Care service. They have helped me each step of the way, providing home visits as a new educator and ongoing for continual support. They have also provided further training to enhance my knowledge and skills as an educator. They are always there if i need help or support.”
As a successful applicant Chloe now plans to put this funding towards her course fees, insurance costs and building up her resources to enhance the learning and play experiences for the children in her care. For Chloe the process was really easy and she has found the support of the coordination unit
“Being a FDC educator is such a rewarding and satisfying career. Give it a go for yourself, it is a lot easier than you think in setting up a FDC. If you want more flexibility, work/life balance, to work from home, to be a stay at home parent, to enjoy a fun and rewarding job….so many good reasons to become a FDC educator.”

She agreed that Council’s efforts to pass the tree removal development application before approval for the stadium itself, almost certainly to come before the next Council to be elected in September, is not ideal.
The Heritage Council has asked for a landscape masterplan to be provided for the rest of the site before it considers the removal of other trees.
“Leading-up to a Council election is never a good time to make these decisions,” Prof Norman said. “It’s a bad time actually, emotions are heightened, and the risk is the decisions will be made in isolation and not taking a more holistic view,” she added. She believes that Council should be looking at a more nuanced approach whereby the stadium can be built as the same time as the trees preserved as a regenerating natural area. “It could be a win for the environment, for the society, and the economy, it could be a fantastic outcome,” she said. “They (Council) should say to the State Government, ‘we should think this through and take the opportunity to make a more informed decision with the new Council’,” she added.

It’s expected Orange City Council would consider another DA to remove trees on the rest of the site later in the year, after the Heritage Council has considered the matter. However, if the DA is supported at Monday night’s meeting, work would begin in the coming weeks to remove the first trees. Former Greens Councillor, Neil Jones is unhappy with the way that Orange Council has interpreted a seeming nod of approval from the Heritage Council over the tree removal. “This is the first time I’ve seen tree removal excised from other aspects of a DA and made separately.” He said that, with Council going into caretaker mode in early August, he cannot see why this special meeting had to be held now. “The DA’s stages two and three will be dealt with by another Council. For that reason, it should be deferred ” he said.

Steve’s temporary return start of four-decade run When Steve Stone returned to work in Orange “temporarily” in 1979, Malcolm Fraser was Prime Minister, Neville Wran Premier, and there was no internet, mobile phones, and most office work was still done on typewriters. Four decades later, he is finally saying au revoir, rather than goodbye, as partner at Yates Baker McLean (YBM) in Sale St.
Government agencies, it’s a different city… Orange is well and truly on the map,” Steve said. He believes that the COVID-19 pandemic makes regional centres like Orange even more attractive to those seeking a tree-change. “We’ve seen what’s happened with people trying to get out of Sydney and what its got to offer, lifestyle, education,” he said. With video-conferencing now being used to keep in touch with remote clients, he still prefers the more direct communication of in-person. “You now do a lot more meetings via Zoom, but
when you’re talking with a client in-person, you get a lot more info, you pick-up their reactions better, which is important,” he explained.
can’t knock that.”
He said that, while the increased regulation of Australian business has created an added burden for both his clients and his firm, many of these changes over the decades have been designed to protect the industry and create a more transparent environment.
“I’ve been the last 16 years as President… also coaching at the junior level, where it’s really rewarding to see young fella’s develop,” he said.
“Some areas of financial planning needed regulation, there’s no doubt about that, but there are changes all the time… it’s a new world, you
Like his work, he intends to stay involved with Orange City Rugby Club: “I’ll definitely still be involved,” Steve concluded.
Outside of work, his love of rugby has seen Steve involved with Orange City for decades.
“From under 13s to under 17s, we’ve had a lot of success off the football field as well, but you can’t do it by yourself,” he said.
While the work of an accountant and business advisor is not glamorous — it is important. “The main area I’m involved in is tax and management of a client base; business advisory, probably also in succession planning,” he said. “We often call ourselves the ‘GPs of accountants’, we cover so many areas.”
BIG Dreams, Born Here. A place for young minds to grow, from Pre-Kinder to Year 6.
His work here is a far cry from the specialist big business clients he worked for in the audit stream at Coopers and Lybrand — now a giant multibillion dollar company PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) — in Sydney. “I grew-up in Orange, went to school at de La Salle (now James Sheahan) and finished in 1972, I went into CSU (then Mitchell College) for accountancy and then went to Sydney for four and a half years,” Steve explained. “I came back here in February 1979 and was planning to go overseas and working over there,” he said, but a change of life saw a change to his plans. He has now been with YBM four decades with his partnership in the firm providing the ballast to maintain his long-term interest in maintaining such a long working relationship. “There were a number of things, I became a partner, and when you make a long-term investment and are buying into a business, you have a natural motivation,” he explained. “I also like dealing with people, whether it’s client or staff, your staff are your most important part of your business; though they’re not on a balance sheet,” he said. He said that Orange is a far more dynamic and diverse business town to operate in than in the distant late-1970s. “The changes I’ve seen in Orange make it much more interesting… Orange has grown, the culture, the food and wine, medical industries, some of my biggest clients are now GPs and specialists.

“Mastermind” Lydia learns
NEW LESSONS FOR A THIRD AGE Keeping your mind active in old age is just as important as looking after your health, Lydia Smith believes. The former history/literature teacher and librarian should know — she’s almost a mastermind!
but I’d recommend that anyone should give it a go, it’s great fun,” Lydia said.
Lydia recently reached the grand final of the gruelling SBS quiz series of the same name and is keen to promote the benefits of learning in later life through the unique U3A (University of the Third Age) concept.
“I was very happy with it, I was coming second after the specialist round of the final, but I was amazed to be anywhere near the grand final, that wasn’t part of my plan at all,” she added.
Member and lecturer for the Orange elder learning group — Lydia only entered the long-running BBC-franchised series as a novelty to please her mum. “My elderly mother was staying with me here in Orange— she is an amazingly-dynamic woman still running trivia classes in her 90s — after she had a fall,” Lydia explained. “She loves ‘Mastermind’; and she said, ‘you should go on that!’ so I entered as a bit of a surprise for her,” Lydia explained. Drawing on her teaching experience, she took as “special subjects” on the quiz — a section in which contestants are particularly-knowledgeable — Shakespeare’s Henry V; Jane Austen’s Persuasion; and the play, The Winslow Boy. “I thought, I’d go on the show to give mum a treat and make a cameo appearance on one episode, it will be fun and a great experience,” Lydia explained. “Every episode I thought, ‘oh well, this is it,’ but, to my complete surprise, I got to the grand final,” Lydia laughed. Her relaxed, easy-going attitude towards the high-pressure test of knowledge and recall though, was not shared by all, she added. “Some of the contestants in the final took it very seriously indeed,
Lydia’s charmed run through the series prompted reflections on the importance of keeping mentally, as well as physically, fit, as we age. She does this through the U3A; which offers an eclectic range of low-stress courses to our more-mature citizens. “Mentally stimulated I’d call it, it’s so important because it keeps you interested in what’s around you and it keeps you learning,” Lydia said, first getting involved after moving to the Colour City to be near her family following her husband's death three year’s ago. “I joined U3A when I got here, and had such a great year learning Russian history and being part of a very dynamic discussion group,” she said. “One of the good things with U3A, is that the courses are run by seniors themselves and they are using the skills they can share with other seniors.” Course subjects range from travel, drawing classes, creative writing, painting, music appreciation, and how to use an iPad and other tablet technologies; with Lydia having a surprise hit with a course in post-modernist thought. “There’s history, languages, how to do cryptic crosswords… I also did one called ‘Armchair Detective’ that covers the history of the
detective novel. “This year, I’ve run a couple of courses myself, one was called ‘Grey Matters’ that was on the importance of understanding your world-view. It was enormously successful; and engaged a number of older peopled who wanted to grapple with issues such as postmodernism,” Lydia said. U3A, she explained is a State-network of groups that are each run autonomously; the local organisations being only as strong as their constituent parts, she added. Many of the courses are held at the Senior Citizens Centre (Indigenous name: Nguluway Ngurang), accessed via the Woolies carpark, for a couple of hours per week but some, particularly in winter, are held in the homes of the course convenor. “It’s certainly not high-pressure, people come when they want and get out of its as much as they like,” she said. Members pay a small, flat fee to join and then take, or lead, any courses that they have an interest or proficiency in. Established in 1989, Lydia believes that the more older people who get involved in the group, the better for them, the community, and other members. “We’ve certainly got an appetite for growth in U3A; it has such potential to enrich the lives of our older community. “Orange is such a great place for U3A because of the people that come here from a variety of backgrounds. Because your skills don’t retire with you,” Lydia concluded. For more information, contact Lydia Smith on 0458 017 527, email: lydiasmith1066@gmail.com

MP Phil Donato STATE MEMBER FOR ORANGE It was great to catch up with local legend and multiple world champion ten pin bowler, Jason Belmonte, at Orange Tenpin Bowl to present him with a copy of a Community Recognition Statement I recently delivered in NSW Parliament.
Dancing with the Stars
It was good to catch up with Wayne McDonell this week. Wayne opened up to me about his personal journey, living with cancer and his endeavours to raise awareness. Wayne is preparing to strap on his dancing shows and strut his stuff in this year’s Cancer Council Stars of Orange dance event.
Jason has been bowling since he was 18 months of age at his parent’s bowling alley here in Orange. Starting the sport so young, he developed an unorthodox bowling technique that helped him to lift up the heavy bowling ball, and his style now is replicated by many around the world!
Well Done,
Jason!
Let’s get behind this great event and support this initiative. The event will be hosted at the Orange Function Centre, Eyles St, Orange on 26/06/2021 at 5.45PM. General Admission: $110, VIP Admission: $145. Dress code is Formal.
Jason you are a true legend of the sport and a great success story not only for Orange, but Australia as well. Congratulations Jason, and best of luck for the future.
DONATO’S
DIARY! Education is always a big issue in our electorate, which is why I’ve called on the Minister for Education, The Hon. Sarah Mitchell MLC, to address teacher staffing issues. Public school enrolments in the state are projected to jump by almost 140,000 over the next decade. A Teachers Federation report found the department must recruit an additional 11,000 teachers to meet that growth. Yet, the Education Minister isn’t even filling existing teacher vacancies! The situation needs urgent attention. I don’t want to see an education crisis out here in the country, but if nothing is done soon then that’s where it’s heading. Speaking of crisis, last Friday I joined with nurses for their Nurses and Midwives Association of NSW rally. Together we are seeking to introduce nurseto-patient ratios in our public hospitals in order to deliver increased patient care and ease their extreme workload.

PINNACLE DRAGON ORANGE BOAT CLUB
I will always support our hardworking nurses, and will continue to push the government to take action. Last week I attended the The Banksia Project’s men’s mental health event at Emu’s. I was pleased to see so many people attend the event, and I think it’s safe to say it was a great night for everyone. It’s heartening to see us being proactive about mental health.
I had a great morning on Lake Canobolas recently with the Pinnacle Dragons for their try open day, which was all about introducing new people to the sport of dragon boating. It was a lot of fun and the morning tea afterwards was pretty nice too! Thanks for inviting me along, it’s great to see such an energetic team.
SCHOOL LEADERSHIP VISIT TO NSW PARLIAMENT It is always a privilege to host our future leaders to the oldest parliament in Australia, the NSW Parliament. Secondary school students from across the Orange electorate attended the program and listened to various MPs on their journey to being elected to parliament. It was great to meet with students and staff of Orange High School, James Sheahan Catholic HS, Trundle Central School, Peak Hill Central School, Canowindra High School, Forbes High School, Red Bend College Forbes and Yeoval Central School.

Cheers, Phil It was great to pay a visit to Ngurang-gu Yalbilinya, which is a newly designed intensive education program for Indigenous boys, encapsulating Wiradjuri art, culture and language. Although in its infancy, having commenced at the beginning of the year, the program is already yielding results. The program is delivered to years 7 and 8 boys from Canobolas High School, and is being run from the Canobolas Scout Camp.
Earlier this month I dropped in to Soil Carbon Co. at Charles Sturt University in Orange. Guy Webb, Managing Director of SoilCQuest, gave me a rundown on the history of this ground-breaking and world leading soil carbon capturing technology.
It was a real privilege to meet the dedicated team and the boys, I look forward to seeing this fantastic initiative develop and grow.
Thanks for the tour, and I look forward to seeing this product revolutionise the future of sustainable agriculture.

TIMEWARP Potato trucks at Millthorpe
There were spuds galore at Millthorpe when this long line of trucks queued up at the railway siding in August 1962. The potatoes were destined for the Sydney markets. At times up to 15 trucks lined the road to the loading centre. The Millthorpe district used to be renowned for its potatoes. On a normal day during the harvest, trucks would deliver 1500 bags representing 100 tons of potatoes. They would sell at an average of £2 per bag.

Brave swimmers tough the cold for the 5th Winter Solstice Swim — SAMUEL RODWELL —
For the fifth consecutive year, swimmers braved the icy waters at Gosling Creek in the annual Winter Solstice Swim celebration marking the shortest day of the year. This astronomical phenomenon where the sun reaches its furthest northerly distance from the equator, marks the day with the shortest period of daylight and the longest night of the year for the southern hemisphere. On the Winter Solstice date for 2021, (Monday June 21), 15 enthusiastic locals took to the freezing waters in exhilarating fashion to commemorate the transition to longer days and brighter moods. Unlike the Pagan rituals of old, this group of Solstice swimmers has no specific affiliation other than the opportunity to embrace science, nature, to feel good and enjoy life.
OVER 5 MILLION AUSTRALIANS HAVE NOW TAKEN THE NEXT STEP We’re not safe until we’re all safe. Find out when it’s your turn and where you can be vaccinated at australia.gov.au
To the amusement of a few timid onlookers, the swimmers’ dip was met with shrieks and yells as warm bodies met the 8.5-degree waters. Thankfully, warm beverages of hot chocolates and snacks followed their post-swim. Despite an unprecedented number of excuses offered by their friends and relatives, this brave group of swimmers are already looking to the future by committing to the sixth annual Winter Solstice Swim in 2022. Will next year’s celebration see you face the chilly elements for science or fun?

STUPAS – Sacred Monuments — CONTRIBUTED —
Readers of Orange City Life may recall a story in November 2018 about a meditation retreat centre being established in a peaceful bushland setting on Sandy Creek Road, Molong and also about a sacred monument – called a "stupa", which was also being built. The Centre called "Karma Yiwong Samten Ling" (meaning "place of natural beautiful meditation") is under the spiritual guidance of His Eminence, Venerable Dekhung Gyaltsey Tulku Rinpoche, a Tibetan Buddhist Lama. Rinpoche now attends the centre regularly to provide teachings and guidance in meditation. Supporters will be pleased to know that the Stupa
of Reconciliation is almost finished with work on an additional seven stupas now just beginning. There are eight types of stupa that are found in the Tibetan tradition. These represent the eight important events in the life of Buddha Shakyamuni. Buddhists believe that these monuments radiate blessings and, therefore, it is customary for Buddhist pilgrims to circumambulate (walk all the way round) the stupas. If you would like to visit the Centre or keep up to date with progress on the construction of the stupas, inquiries are welcome.

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY
In a painting by the 18th Century French artist, Chardin, two young children are sitting down to eat.
It was very hot in Moree where I grew up, but Mum used to cook the most amazing things on the fuel stove.”
The table is elegantly laid with a white cloth and silver cutlery and the little ones are under the close supervision of a maid.
Russel has rather unfortunate memories of fuel stoves.
It is 1740 and they are learning table manners.
In her kitchen was a huge table taking up most of the room, and placed right next to the equally enormous fuel stove.
Meals were a social ritual, especially for the wealthier classes. When Mrs Beeton wrote her book on Household Management in 1861, table manners were considered an essential part of one’s education. This was a far cry from The Middle Ages when there was little ceremony attached to the consuming of food. The one essential then was that you didn’t get too greasy when tearing meat apart with your teeth and fingers. Not long ago, the Oral History group members examined their collective memories and looked at the way food and its consumption has changed in their lifetimes. The 1940s, 50s and 60s were very different, both socially and economically from today. Up until the early 1950s, there was no television, little refrigeration, and not everyone had telephones. Life was very much more ordered with a definite division of labour in most households. Mealtimes were generally at the same time each day, table manners strictly observed, and food changed little from day to day. “We always had a clean tablecloth and said ‘grace’ before meals,” said Leslye. “Butter was on a little plate and we were always warned not to take too much as ‘that is all there is’.
30 JUNE 24—30, 2021
“I had a great aunt Millie who loved to invite the family for Sunday lunch.
There were ten at the table and we were served a roasting hot meal in the middle of summer with the thermometer at 110. My Uncle Tom didn’t drink but he took pity on me and put four bottles of beer on the table, tops off, at room temperature! It took me a week to recover.” Lyn lived in Yeovil and her father had an extensive vegetable garden. “ If it wasn’t in the garden, we didn’t eat it,” she told us. This was echoed by most people in the group. Everyone seemed to grow their own, even in Sydney where Bronwyn lived on the outskirts of the city. “We had a veggie patch, chooks, and a cow from which we had milk cream and butter. We were very self-sufficient, never had ‘take-a-ways’, and always took our lunch to school.” “I was a Depression kid, one of four boys living in Sydney,” Stuart told us. We had an extensive vegetable garden with a beautiful peach tree. One of my best memories was of climbing that tree, picking a ripe peach, and sitting high in the branches to eat it. Nothing tasted so good! We had rows of potatoes, beans and peas and always had a baked dinner
Changes in FAMILY LIFE: No. 1 Food and Eating on Sundays. There was a shop a few hundred yards away and I was given the job of taking the billy can after we’d eaten, going to the shop for several scoops of ice cream, and come running back with it before it melted.” Monica grew up on an isolated property near Eugowra. “My background was French/Italian so the food we ate was slightly different from the usual meals and spaghetti was an important part of our diet., she said. “We had a huge vegetable garden and an orchard, and like most people, we ate what we grew.” (Most of our group members could only remember eating spaghetti out of a tin , without the benefit of the delicious sauces that Monica was used to.)
coins his mother had carefully put into his slice of pudding because he never did remember finding it. Barbara, who grew-up in Cargo and was the eldest of ten children remembers a wonderful childhood, filled with big gatherings of aunties and uncles and cousins . “There were 74 of us at the Xmas gathering of 1974. Mum and her sisters were wonderful cooks and, because they all thought our fuel stove was the best, they came to our place to cook their cakes and puddings . I can remember Mum taking the last cake out at 11pm.” Owen probably had the best Xmas pudding story to tell.
“There were eight children in the family, but we didn’t eat with the adults and always went to bed early.
“My wife, Isabel, also had two sisters and the three of them prided themselves on their cooking. They were also very competitive about Xmas and took turns to entertain the family.
We mostly ate mutton and the occasional chook although we had a change when my oldest brother decided he wanted to grow peanuts.
This particular time it was our turn. The first course was a success and my wife and I went to the kitchen to prepare Aunt Mary’s pudding.
Unfortunately, the pig got into it and ate the peanuts, Dad shot the pig, and we all had a lovely lot of bacon.”
My job was to pour over the brandy and set it alight. I grabbed the brandy bottle, poured liberally, and then to my horror, discovered vegetable oil had been put into the bottle.
But It was at Christmas time that Mum would really excel. “Our Xmas pudding would be made and hung in the back room about six weeks before,” said Tom. Everyone was enthusiastic about the silver coins which were put into the pudding in those days. Dee recalled her mother boiling up the threepences and sixpences beforehand and Frank had a great uncle who used to invite the family over to light-up his pudding a week before Xmas, and have the excitement of finding the coins. Tom probably swallowed one of the
Panic! I saved the day by running hot water over it, poured brandy from the right bottle, set it alight and triumphantly carried it into the dining room to great applause.” The oral history group enjoyed the discussion on food so much that it was decided to continue at another meeting. “ We haven’t even talked about ordinary puddings yet!” was the cry so join us again for some mouthwatering memories of the food we loved, or hated, most.

OCLife
...I’m still the same person with the same policies, but political parties have a lot of baggage attached to them.”
Independence the key Independence is a wonderful thing, September Council candidate, Melanie McDonell believes. With her green credentials intact after her seemly split from the minor-major party earlier this year; Mel believes that the current 12-month extended Council has no mandate to approve removal of more than 500 trees from south Orange for the proposed sports stadium on the site. The high-profile “mock councillor” from Orange City Life’s "Council Game" initiative, is looking forward to the local government poll, hoping to ride the wave of change that has swept the Colour City over the past four years. “I’m now independent and I’ve got my No.2, Bridget Healey; and No. 3, Granton Smith; for my ticket,” Mel said excitedly, describing the public reaction to her dropping-out of the Green’s top-slot as “amazing”.
to Mel’s new appeal
Serving a nine-year apprenticeship — returning to Orange after completing a nursing degree — on Council’s Environmental Sustainability Committee, she believes that the extraordinary meeting on Monday, June 28 to discuss removal of about 250 trees from the south Orange site of the proposed stadium, is an extraordinary-bad move from a Council lacking authority.
“I want to get Orange better connected,” she explains. “I’ve been here 10 years and we need better connectivity.”
“Absolutely, if COVID hadn’t happened (causing the 12-month delay to the local government elections) a lot of those councillors wouldn’t be there,” she said emphatically.
“There’s a lot of young families, and there’s simply no proper footpaths to get around on,” she said. “Kids won’t be able to ride their bikes to school because their parents won’t let them because it’s too dangerous.
She believes that splitting the tree removal from the approval process of the stadium proposal — unlikely to be voted on by this Council — makes it doubly-dubious. “They shouldn’t be deciding on, in what is essentially a caretaker mode, such a divisive issue. It’s not just about the trees, it’s the traffic,” she about the proposed 8500-capacity rectangular football ground proposed to be built adjacent to the Hospital precinct. “We’ve got specialists who, even now, complain about the traffic and getting to emergencies, how’s it going to be with a full stadium crowd emptying onto those streets in south Orange?” the private practice nurse said.
“These were the candidates I had in mind when I went independent, all the feedback has been incredibly-supportive; comments from people of all walks of life saying that parties have no role in local government,” she said.
“The tree removal should not have been separated from the stadium proposal, that was another mistake,” she said.
Orange’s booming suburbs, she believes are far too cardependent with such simple answers as good footpaths, bikefriendly roads, and regular bus services, lagging too far behind development.
“All throughout Orange, we need better connectivity.” With an environmentally-sound house in west Orange (with a 7.3 environmental rating) Melanie believes in a practical approach to the local environment. “It’s super-insulated and I designed it myself to be as enviornentally-friendly as possible,” she explained. With only one woman currently on Orange Council — first-termer Joanne McRae — she supports calls for more women and other less-well-represented groups to run for Council. “I encourage other women to run for Council, it would be good to have a wider representation of people on Council,” she said.
“I’m still the same person with the same policies, but political parties have a lot of baggage attached to them, it’s why we’re getting so many independents in State and Federal Parliament.
Connectivity between the Colour City’s growing suburbs and the town centre is another key environmental issue facing Orange, Melanie believes.
“Currently, we don’t have a level of diversity on Council which truly represents the reality of the Orange community in 2021, which is 51 per cent female, includes many young families, tree-changers, First Nations families, people with a disability, and people from diverse cultural backgrounds.
“People are saying that they can’t identify with a major party and, being independent, you have so much more flexibility, people have been incredibly positive,” she added.
She said that, providing better integration between our old town centre and the new suburbs springing-up to the west and north of Orange, is a key environmental challenge facing the growing city.
“I would love to see some strong competition for the September Council elections, with each of these groups represented and a range of experience amongst the candidates.”

The Council Game What happened at the Council meeting on 15th June 2021?
Council voted on several development applications at the Council meeting on 15th June 2021. Staff were asked to prepare grounds to refuse a Development Application for a child care centre in Kearneys Drive after concerns were expressed by residents in the Public Forum. A boarding house development in Curran Street was approved after councillors and staff visited the site. Council was told the applicant had satisfactorily amended the proposal to meet concerns expressed by residents and councillors. Council also backed a proposal to
speak to supermarkets in Orange about introducing wheel locks on shopping trolleys at an estimated cost of $600 per trolley to reduce the number left abandoned in the city.
Plans for a black tie gala ball to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Orange becoming a city have been called-off. Some councillors were alarmed by the proposed costs of between $30,000 and $67,500. However, other celebrations, including a one-off council meeting in the old Town Hall on Anson Street, remain on the agenda.
mock mayor
Amanda Spalding We are coming to the end of this term of Council with only three ordinary meetings of Council remaining before the Caretaker Period starts. Councils are expected to assume a “caretaker” role during election periods to ensure that major decisions are not made which would limit the actions of an incoming council. Advice from the Office of Local Government prior to
the 2017 local government elections, explained that councils must not exercise certain functions during the caretaker period which includes determining a ‘controversial development application’, which means a DA for which at least 25 people have made submissions objecting to the proposal. As a senior staff member of councils over the last 30 years, I have been present at a large number of Council meetings! I have been frustrated during many meetings and the issues that push my buttons include councillors who do not prepare for meetings and make comments off the top of their heads, with no strategic intent, which results in meetings going round and round in circles and achieving very little. The Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association Team (Team ORRAnge) has developed a ten-point pledge to the people of Orange.
Pledge number 5 is: We will provide honest, decisive, forward-looking, and capable leadership. In last week’s Council Game, I talked about strategic planning and how the new Council will facilitate the development of the new Community Strategic Plan that is all about identifying the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future and planning strategies to achieve those goals. As a team, we want to see real progress being made on the community’s priorities and that progress is monitored regularly to demonstrate accountability for the use of the community’s resources in moving towards the agreed vision. In August, Council will publish its End of Term Report that will demonstrate how much progress has been made towards achieving the community’s priorities in the current four-year term.

32 JUNE 24—30, 2021
NEWSWATCH
THE COUNCIL GAME
MOCK COUNCILLOR Frances Kinghorne Our Mayor was on the radio recently, which is a regular occurrence. He was concerned that there seem to be a lot of people standing for election in September, and that most of these don’t have any experience as councillors. He wanted these candidates to outline their policies and the public to consider these when they vote on the big day. I do agree with this part. It would be great if we all voted for people who are competent, sensible, reasonably-intelligent and genuinely-motivated to do what they believe is best for Orange. I don’t, however, have any concerns about people standing for election when they don’t have any experience as a councillor. Our current councillors have been in their roles for almost four years (minimum) and this has absolutely no bearing on their quality. In my opinion, there are four current councillors who are competent and two of those are not standing for re-election in September, which is disappointing. There are others who don’t really seem to contribute anything useful and some who can generally manage to produce only incoherent babble during council meetings. This demonstrates that previous council experience does not necessarily equate to a better-quality candidate. For most people, other qualities will matter so much more. Being rational, outwardly-focussed, compassionate, and able to genuinely listen, are some that spring to mind. If we can all really think about who we vote for - and there are some high-quality candidates standing - rather than just voting for a familiar name, then we can possibly produce a highly-functional council, with minimal idiocy. Orange is a fantastic place to live and we really do deserve to have a council that genuinely represents its residents and acts with logic, commonsense, confidence, and energy. Let’s hope that’s what we get.
MOCK COUNCILLOR Greater Good Shopping trolleys got a run AGAIN at last week’s Council meeting, and AGAIN our Councillors showed little understanding of what’s involved. This time it came about after Councillor Romano had a light-bulb moment while visiting a Queensland shopping centre, after he encountered a shopping trolley that had a device on it that locked-up a wheel as soon as he attempted to take it outside the shopping centre carpark. The “We need this in Orange” light went on and it ended up as first, a story in the CWD complete with picture, and then as a motion on the Council agenda. Now we all know that shopping trolleys are an issue at times, and the problem is not exclusive to Orange. To be honest, shopping trolleys left here, there and everywhere are a fact of life. For me, the only sensible approach is to put in place a system
that minimises the incentive to leave them around. This Councillor Romano option was said to cost $600 per trolley to install them. What Council in their right mind thinks they can ask supermarkets to undertake that sort of cost? If across Orange we had 1000 trolleys, that’s $600,000 to install the system for starters. Imagine what that would do to grocery prices if that was rolled-out across Australia? It’s too silly for words. Other comments in support at the meeting included a comment that one trolley bumping into car can cost $3000 to repair. Really Mr Mayor? Another said that three trolleys were found in the former Kurim shopping centre area, and these had the coin deposit facility on them, “so the $1 deposit doesn’t stop them”. That sounded more like an exaggerated beat-up to me. Council ultimately resolved to talk to the supermarkets about Councillor Romano’s idea, but added that they also discuss other options. This to me again shows how out-of-touch our councillors are with reality, and how little they think about things before they open their mouths. Like I said, trolleys being left around are a fact of life and certainly not the eyesore Council would have us believe. If you want eyesore, look at any suburban street on garbage day after the garbologist has been. Maybe the very first step is to fully explore what the coin deposit system might achieve if every supermarket installed them. I have no firm data, but I don’t recall ever seeing an Aldi trolley lying around a street somewhere, and they are one supermarket that has always used the coin deposit system. Some people may still leave their trolley around not worrying about retrieving their dollar or two, but I’m sure there would also be those who seeing a trolley with a dollar or two there for the taking would return it for the money, a la return-and-earn plastic drink bottles. Kids may even see it as a way to make a bit of pocket money. With the deposit system in place, I can’t imagine too many trolleys being left lying around willy nilly, certainly nowhere as many as at present.
MOCK COUNCILLOR Josh Girle-Bennett Earlier this month, Orange City Council’s Environmental Sustainability Policy Committee was presented with Council’s report on Electricity Procurement. This report referred to Council’s renewable energy plan, noted the NSW Government’s aspirations for ‘Net Zero’ by 2050 and states that Orange City Council will contribute a minimum of 50% of Council’s electricity load to a renewable energy power purchase agreement providing that the pricing is lower than the already contracted price.
In May 2020, Hawkesbury City Council ventured into a new electricity supply agreement which will save $2.5 million and ensure that this council is using 100% renewable power by 2030. Hawkesbury City Council services roughly 2,776 km² on the fringes of Sydney and Orange City Council services roughly 285 km². With other Councils such as the Hawkesbury servicing a much larger area, already saving money and reducing emissions at the same time, why does Orange City Council fail to act and fail to prioritise finding a new electricity supply agreement that will save money and reduce emissions? If elected to Council in September, I will fight to implement any initiatives that will save money and simultaneously reduce our carbon footprint. Where savings are made in any form through a reduction in operational expenditure, I will fight to ensure that this money is solely allocated to properly fix deteriorating roads throughout Orange and surrounding areas.
MOCK COUNCILLOR Melanie McDonell Integrity and why it matters. Recent events have had many in the community contacting me concerning what they perceive as character flaws in some of our leaders. This has had me thinking a lot about what innate characteristics are needed in our leaders, and at the top of that list is integrity. What is integrity? Integrity is defined by Merriam-Webster as: “firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values; incorruptibility”. Cambridge Dictionary defines integrity as: “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles that you refuse to change”. Synonyms for ‘integrity’ include character, decency, goodness, honesty, morality, probity, righteousness, and virtue. Antonyms include badness, evil, evildoing, immorality, iniquity, sin, villainy and wickedness. But when it comes to leadership, integrity goes far beyond just this. It is being trustworthy, honest and reliable. It is when your actions match your statements; when you practice what you preach. It is owning your mistakes, not hiding them, blaming others or making excuses. Could one or more of our civic leaders do better when it comes to integrity in leadership? I think so, and I doubt I’m alone in that.
Whilst I applaud any measures to reduce electricity costs and net emissions at the same time, I find Council’s existing Climate Change Management Plan and this proposal to be rather vague and lacking in concrete commitments.

THE COUNCIL GAME
MOCK COUNCILLOR Pot Stirrer
“Orange council to spend up to $67,000 on gala ball for anniversary” - that was the headline on the CWD website the day before last week’s Council meeting. Naturally, they put the story on their Facebook page expecting to get a huge reader reaction, and they did, mostly negative of course. Council then discussed the motion at their Tuesday night meeting and subsequently canned the idea after several councillors raised a variety of concerns. Clearly, many were swayed by the community response to the CWD story, so much so that Mayor Kidd, in closing the discussion, boldly urged the CWD to publicise their decision the next day. I found this all very interesting for a number of reasons. Who came up with the idea of a ball in the first place? It didn’t appear to come from any Councillor. Why the $67,000 cost? Balls are usually self-funded and, depending on their intent, can make a profit. The recent White Tie Ball was said to have made an $80,000 profit for Housing Plus’s domestic violence shelter. Clearly this was another case of a thought bubble by someone and not something that was thought through, or that went through an early evaluation process before it got to the motion stage. It was pretty obvious by the overall response and councillor reaction that it was never going to fly. Council could have saved themselves a lot of wasted time and energy and avoided stirring-up the community over the issue, if they had just done a bit of preliminary homework. Sadly, our current council doesn’t operate that way. Hopefully, the new Council after September 4 will.
MOCK COUNCILLOR Steve Peterson Last week’s snowfall was great fun. Even I was able to get out and enjoy it (see attached photo). It does demonstrate the need for one of my particular interests, which I would like to explore if elected to council, that is of improved winter access to Mount Canobolas. Mount Canobolas at 1390m can have some of the closest snow to Sydney. Often advance notice of likely snow can be given as it was last week. I see this as a potential tourist attraction and
34 JUNE 24—30, 2021
a way to share Orange with people who might not come for other events that the city offers. Indeed, I know of people that came to Orange last weekend to see the snow. However, when snow is currently forecast, the roads are closed and the mountain locked-away. I am a doctor not an engineer, so would need expert opinion and advice as to how this could be done safely. Potentially, Towac Way and the Northern Boundary Road could be made accessible for descent down the mountain with the current road for ascent, so traffic flows only in a single direction for safety. Potentially, more parking and additional walking tracks could be created. I appreciate that Cabonne Council would need to be involved and environmental issues considered, but this could be done and I would love to see that conversation started. Furthermore, I was pleased to see several councillors speak against the proposed cost to Council ($67,500) of a black-tie gala ball to commemorate 75 years of Orange being declared a city. There are numerous other ways this could be commemorated, many listed in the minutes or discussed, that would cost substantially less. I’m proud of Orange and would like to celebrate significant milestones but this expense for 450 guests is hard to justify
MOCK COUNCILLOR Daniel McGregor As this term of Council draws to an end, I think it’s a great opportunity to be looking ahead… So, I wanted to let you know about an upcoming event. For the July meeting of the Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association, we are going to have a "Solutions Summit". As a group that wants to always listen to and stand-up for residents and ratepayers, we’re keen to get as many people together as possible to identify some of the issues Orange is facing in the short, medium, and long-term and brainstorm for some potential solutions Council (and other relevant bodies) can explore. The invitation is open to all. Orange is a wonderful place to live. And I think it’s fair to say Orange punches above its weight. We are the economic, cultural, and health epicentre of the Central West. However, that does not mean Orange is without its issues. And we can’t afford to rest on our laurels. The Residents and Ratepayers Association is inviting anyone with a genuine interest in solving Orange’s issues to attend the meeting. In my mind, no idea is too big or too small. Sharing ideas is how I see us coming up with better ideas. WHEN: 7 pm Wednesday 7 July WHERE: Orange Ex Services Club Please RSVP to orra2800@gmail.com or call: 0417 288 246 It’s a free event.
With a number of ORRA members standing as a team for Council in the September election, we’d love to hear the thoughts and views of as big a cross-section of the community as possible. Thinking beyond the election, it’s also a chance to see what a diverse group ORRA is and may perhaps be something you’d like to be a part of going forward.
MOCK COUNCILLOR Lesley Smith Tuesday’s meeting was primarily about “housekeeping” the on-going saga of shopping trolleys, dealing with road side signs which obstruct drivers view, and of course DA approvals, and an ongoing sensitivity to community complaints. The Council is to be commended for their unanimous support of initiatives to provide shelter to our homeless community members. I observed a council who are tired and some council members seem to have lost their drive, focus, and motivation. This is understandable – this is the end of a long and difficult tenure; following an election four years ago when they were democratically elected by us. As the present council move into caretaker mode, they deserve our vote of thanks for their service to our region. Electing a council in September who bring commitment and vitality which is authentic and focused, considered and thoughtful, and above all, not self-serving is how a thriving community will be preserved and enhanced. A council who are driven and motivated by a vision and realise that, without a strategic direction and sound fiscal management and business acumen, it is not a vision it is just an unachievable dream. Let’s harness the collective wisdom and experience of council employees, councillors and community; of the people for the people – should not be a cliché. I believe in and practice what I call “Benevolent Bureaucracy”- that is, doing business that retains heart and soul at its centre while still accountable and able to stand-up to rigorous scrutiny. This is how we will retain the humanity and the best of the place we call home and ensure responsible governance. Elect a council; who think the environment and land and water management matter. Economic and environmental sustainability can work in balance to support the best of both.
LETTER’S TO THE EDITOR Have your say email reception@oclife.com.au
So much to thank Bob for!
We would have liked to be part of this important conversation much earlier and would like to be part of it now.
I’d like to take this opportunity to say farewell and thank-you to Bob Holland as he leaves OCL for a well-deserved retirement. Thank-you Bob, for the energy you have put into bringing us the most popular newsmagazine this town has seen. Thank you for the 11 years of feel-good news stories, where all sections and age groups in the community were given a voice and regarded to have stories of value worthy of telling, entertainment, puzzles, soul-enriching editorials, and informative community-based information you and your team have given us. What a Godsend it was to have that little glimmer of positive news week after week during that stressful time of panic and unknowing when we were, not so long ago, in a forced lockdown due to a perceived COVID-19 predator. And speaking of which, not only did you deliver OCL during this time, but a second and equally popular serious newspaper in Newswatch where we were treated to real news while the world was fed the dubious spin that the controllers of the world information network wanted to send-out and banned anything that didn’t fit the paradigm. It was only independents such as Newswatch that had the guts to tell us the other side of the story. So much to thank-you for Bob. Big shoes for your successor to fill, but I’m sure, as the groundwork is in place, we can look forward to the ongoing pleasure this publication brings thousands of us every week.

Culture hub oppose south Orange stadium proposal We at the Orange Culture Hub believe that the decision about what should happen at Bloomfield is a very important matter that concerns the whole community.
We believe that the meeting on Monday, 28 June is too soon for Council to make this decision as there are many other groups in the community who, like us, have an interest in our community parklands. We need open space for our cultural festivals and for other celebrations where families come together. Some of our events have 200–400 people. An area such as Bloomfield is ideal, not just for our group, but many others. Cycling tracks, walking tracks, places to have picnics, and just spaces to walk for mental health are all important for the community. For Orange Masala we had tents, footy games, tug-of-war, outdoor massages, a market bazaar and more. All these things would work perfectly in a space like Bloomfield. Most young families do not have a proper area at their home or nearby for the kids to play and, this has become more of a problem over recent years as housing development has grown and our tree-filled parkland spaces have not grown at the same rate. We just want the Council to listen to the community before they take on such a big decision, there is no way to take reverse this decision once the trees are cut down. The question is not just about cutting down trees, it’s about the parkland as a whole and using it for the community in so many different ways. It is a community asset that has value as it is, and yet it could become so much more valuable in the future. We think the proposed use as a sporting precinct should be further debated before any trees are removed.
Orange Cultural Hub and our members. Grace Pereira, President, Orange Cultural Hub
South Orange: Open Letter to My Fellow Councillors
We are very pleased with the Council doing a lot for Orange, but we want you to take a step further to ensure that you are not proceeding with such an important decision before you really know how many people are for it and how many are against it.
We have an important decision to make on June 28, a decision that the community is likely to reflect on for years to come. Do we decide to cut down the first 250 of 513 trees to make way for a sports precinct? Or do we pause, acknowledge the strength of opposition to this plan, and come-up with an alternative that meets everyone’s needs.
We are very supportive of a sports precinct for Orange, but we also see that the loss of this area of Crown Land at Bloomfield, which has already developed into a parkland over 45 years, is not a decision to be taken lightly. It’s also not one to be taken without Council actively-consulting the many different groups within the community.
I’m sure some Councillors will remind me that I voted for the Bloomfield site back in December 2019. And, yes, I did, based on what I had in front of me at the time. But can any Councillor honestly say they had sufficient detail and time to consider such an important decision, given that it was a late item with very basic supporting information?
We are concerned that many people in Orange still don’t know what the plans are for this site at Bloomfield. We at the Culture Hub would not have been aware of it, if not for the environmental and future-focus groups that have been raising awareness.
Should we feel bound to make the same decision some 18 months later? Absolutely not. Our job is to make the best decision, based on all the information in front of us at the time, and we now have a whole lot more.
We now know the full extent of trees to be removed and better understand the climate change ramifications of that destruction. We also realise that removing mature tree canopies goes against many State Government policies that are moving in the opposite direction and which are about protecting existing tree-filled public spaces. Plus, we now have a lot more input from the community, including the Orange Health Service medical fraternity, who are major stakeholders in this decision. And we now have a better grasp on the history of the development and the alternatives available that could deliver a more-acceptable and responsible outcome. There are three major elements of the sports precinct that have largely been talked about as one (but don’t have to be). The athletics facility has strong support as we currently don’t have such a facility. The additional sporting fields — to better accommodate state and national sporting carnivals and to meet the future needs of locals — also have strong support, but not universal. The third element, the 10,000-capacity sport stadium is more controversial. Many people, including myself, question its need due to the duplication of facilities available elsewhere and the relative infrequency of capacity use, that is, once or twice a year to bring expensive-to-host NRL-type events to the city. If all three elements are to be built, do they need to be co-located? No, they don’t. Are there efficiencies in doing so? Possibly yes, but efficiency shouldn’t override all other considerations. So, what are the alternatives? Many have been suggested, but I’d group them into three. The first is to move it all back to the NDR and build there as originally planned. Second, is to move the stadium to the NDR site beside the proposed arboretum, and still build the athletics facility and additional sporting fields at Bloomfield. The third is to move both the stadium and athletics facility to one (or two) of the other seven sites originally considered, and still build the additional sporting fields at Bloomfield. All three alternatives are based on a desire to achieve two great outcomes for Orange — additional sporting facilities AND a multi-purpose parkland at Bloomfield. There is a developing vision of Bloomfield as a Centennial Park-type facility for passive recreation, sporting activities, music and film festivals and other outdoor entertainment, held in-between the trees, not in place of them. Is this a complex issue? Yes, it is. Should we feel pressured to make such an important decision out of fear of losing the funding or because we want to ‘make our mark’? No, we shouldn’t. This has become a divisive issue and dismissing the views of a significant cross-section of the community is not in anyone’s interests. Our job as Councillors is to listen to the community and achieve the best possible outcome for the greatest number of people. We have the opportunity to do that by considering things with fresh eyes. Let’s not miss that opportunity on the 28th.

Burruguu Art
HAS ANOTHER MURAL IN THE WORKS — SAMUEL RODWELL —
Orange City Life recently caught-up with Indigenous artist Sandon Gibbs-O’Neill from Burruguu Art and he’s been flat-chat since the unveiling of his last mural for Headspace Orange. Now commissioned by Orange City Council for the Future City project, Sandon has been hard at work creating his next public mural located at the back of Canobolas Hotel in the McNamara Street car park.
aspects of traditional Aboriginal art. Two circular designs joined by a pathway will illustrate past, present, and future communities and the importance of sharing knowledge and showing respect.
Sandon said he’s received a great response from the community as people watched his artwork take form over the last few weeks. “People have loved it so far and they’ve stopped to have in-depth conversations about it.
“It shows the generational change between the past and future generations, and how the journey between the two generations is connected,” Sandon said.
“I love people asking me questions and engaging with the art and learning about its meaning. It’s not just a pretty picture, there’s value in the art,” he explained.
The mural represents three rivers painted in blue, the Wambool (Macquarie), Kalari (Lachlan), and Murrumbidgee. Reflecting the Wiradjuri people who are the ‘people of the three rivers.’ “The colours represent the natural earth pigments,” he said.
The mural’s title, "Community" is a contemporary design that draws on
The use of dots within a circular pattern will reflect community with each dot having
an important role in the overall circle. Just as each person plays a vital role in our community. "Community" reflects a connection to the land on which we walk and its traditional custodians, the Wiradjuri people. “It’s really good and important to see Aboriginal art out in public,” Sandon stated. Sandon is a proud Nhunngabarra man who is inspired by the legacy of his grandfather, Tex Skuthorpe, a highly respected Nhunggal man, artist, teacher, and author. Through his artwork, Sandon hopes to challenge stereotypes, educate others, and continue to learn more about his culture.

THUMBS UP to Hayden at Big W for amazing customer service in bike sales. Also, to Gary for assembling it so quickly. Thank-you both so much. THUMBS UP to Service NSW Orange for consistently providing efficient and friendly service. THUMBS DOWN to the drivers who do not understand the road rules at the Shadforth turn-off at the Mid Western Highway. It is give way from the Millthorpe Road and to accommodate the build-up of traffic back logging onto the rise, there is a WAITING LANE that flows just past the turn off. TO STOP !!!!! It is NOT a merging lane. Traffic is coming from the Bathurst direction at 100km per hour. How ridiculous to constantly see drivers merging immediately into their pathway from the WAITING BAY. The merging lanes have signs and arrows to identity such road changes. There is NO merging sign, NO arrows and YES there is going to be a fatal accident if the RTA or TRAFFIC AUTHORITIES don’t put a NO MERGING SIGN UP or better still put a STOP SIGN at the end of the waiting lane, for the drivers who are careless and putting lives at risk. THUMBS DOWN to the people setting off fireworks down the street on Saturday night. Don’t you have anything better to do. Plus, you might not have had to work this weekend, but other people do, have some consideration for other people. THUMBS UP to Orange SES for responding so quickly to remove a partly-fallen tree branch at the home of an elderly Orange lady. They did a great job. Many thanks.
SHOW US YOUR THUMBS!—SMS: 0459 022 084 STANDARD SMS RATES APPLY // EMAIL: RECEPTION@OCLIFE.COM.AU // FACEBOOK: INBOX ‘ORANGE CITY LIFE’
THUMBS DOWN to the people who still continue to leave their rubbish at the return-and-earn machines. Take your rubbish home with you!!! I’m sick of removing rubbish from your trolleys. You are littering and it’s a $250.00 fine. You will be reported for leaving your rubbish behind. THUMBS UP to the highway patrol for being out on Sunday in the small towns. Their presence should be more frequent. THUMBS UP to Walkers Removals Orange. Great job, great price and great people. THUMBS DOWN to the OCL Editor for sitting in their ivory castle and not understanding people’s misfortunes during a cold winter. Free firewood for all. THUMBS DOWN to the concrete intersection barriers popping up all over town. Obscured by snow and foggy nights. Very dangerous. Why can’t this money be channelled onto hot mixing our streets? THUMBS UP to Julio from the Orange RSL for the fantastic meat pie and custard tart I had on 16/06/2021. Yum!! THUMBS DOWN to the driver of a light blue Hyundai with personalised number plates on Thursday morning driving through town like a rally driver. Grow up!. High vis jumper and personalised plates, you know who you are. THUMBS UP to Davina and her bakery at North Orange Woolworths, always helpful with a smile and great products. Keep up the good work.
THUMBS UP to Jean at Service NSW, Lovely lady, helpful & patient. THUMBS UP to Paul who works at Need A Nerd. Paul recently helped me with the problems with my computer. He was so helpful and understanding. He is an asset to the company. Thanks Paul. THUMBS DOWN to those local real estate agents who cannot be bothered to return any correspondence regarding rental properties. I know it is a good market for them at the moment, but a response from them would be lovely. No wonder there are so many empty shops in town. THUMBS DOWN to those responsible for the longwinded roadworks (and idle equipment) in Lucknow. The message board stated works until 15/06/2021 yet the signage controlled by SMS was still outdated on 17/06/2021. THUMBS UP to the helpful staff at The Athlete’s Foot. It’s great to get good service and genuine care. THUMBS DOWN to the exodus by big banks (NAB & CBA) from Blayney and Molong and their tokenism of reviewing services after their departure. THUMBS UP to John at Domino’s Pizza for outstanding customer service! THUMBS DOWN to local real estate businesses who don’t bother to update their websites. Frustrating for people looking to lease properties only to find they are no longer available. Both residential and commercial. Come on people, it can’t be that hard.
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

What will it take for Council to listen to the people of Orange to find a compromise or find alternative sites? 89% of submissions on the DA asked for this and over 1800 (so far) on the online petition, some 1000 on the paper petition.
It’s too-soon to vote on this issue until the questions below have been answered. •
We need a second opinion from a sports development specialist to be sure we use the best possible site and to its best advantage. A second opinion will build community confidence.
•
It’s worth it to make the right decision, as this development will change Orange forever.
•
Come to the Bloomfield Parklands “Headquarters” at the CWA Hall this week to find out more and to volunteer to help.
Tues: 3.30pm - 7.00pm
Wed: 2.00pm - 7.00pm
Thurs: 9.00am - 7.00pm
Fri: 9.00am - 7.00pm
Questions for Council:
1. 177 submissions received by Council is a huge number when usually 25 or more is considered “controversial.” 89% of these were against using Bloomfield as the location OR suggested a compromise where fields were located in amongst the existing trees. Only 14 of the 177 submissions were in favour of clearing the trees. 2. How has Council addressed the concerns stated in the 158 submissions against the site being located at Bloomfield, and the destruction of 513 trees? 3. How does putting the Sports Precinct at Bloomfield fit into a long-term vision for Orange, considering the changes in population and climate predicted for the decades ahead? 4. Can Council demonstrate in dollar figures, the cost difference between developing the site at the Northern Distributor site versus Bloomfield?
5. In costing for Bloomfield, has Council included the actual value of trees, in dollar figures as internationally-recognised and as undertaken by many local councils such as Melbourne. $8000 is the minimum, which would equate to $4.1million worth of trees being cut down at Bloomfield.
6. Could council mark-out the site clearly, marking out the dimensions and the trees to be removed? Many people are still unaware of what it will be like.
Council needs to answer the questions above before voting on this issue. Scan the QR code linked to a petition asking Council to delay the clearing of Bloomfield Parklands until we have had more expert opinions and assurance that it’s the right location. This ad is funded by a growing number of concerned residents of the Orange Community. JUNE 24—30, 2021 47
