Having spent a fair chunk of my life in the west of this state, where anything less than 20 degrees is a cold day and you wouldn’t dream of taking a dip until the mercury is in the 30s, I was surprised to find myself shedding jumper and beanie on the weekend when it barely topped 14 C! Still, what a welcome relief from a cold few weeks and great to enjoy some time outdoors – a nice reminder that spring will be here before we know it.

But, winter is not done with us yet, as the snow falling outside our office window on Tuesday reminded me! Good news for all those coastal visitors keen to taste a “real” winter in the central west at the Orange Winter Fire Festival, which gets underway next Friday, August 5.

Frank Smith — Sparrows of Kabul

It’s great to see the program broadened to include some family-friendly activities, like ice-skating at Millthorpe, circus performances in Robertson Park and community bonfire events at the Field Days site, Eugowra and elsewhere. There are plenty of cosy, fireside events on the program, so it’s worth jumping on the Orange360 website for a look.

Speaking of ways to ward off the winter chill; inside you’ll find a delicious pumpkin soup recipe from Chef Ruben, best paired (we think) with the heartwarming local stories we strive to bring you each week here at OC Life.

REDUCING FUEL USAGE TO LIMIT PAIN AT THE BOWSER

We can’t do anything about the high cost of fuel, but we can do a great deal about how much we use.

“Most people like to push the speed limit, but if you’re a heavyfooted driver, it can mean an extra 20 per cent on your fuel load for most trips.”

Doing simple things right and following vehicle manufacturer’s specifications, are other ways that we can learn to live with $2.20 per litre petrol and diesel, he added.

“If you keep your car serviced and use good types of fuel, you’ll get better economy for starters,” Geoff said.

While drivers used to all have their own theories about being above or below recommended tyre pressure levels, it’s best to follow the specific advice for each vehicle, he said.

Donna and Geoff Parkes of Hi-Tec Vehicle Management, you can’t control fuel prices, so control how much you use.

He said that courteous, anticipatory driving, sticking to the speed limits and not racing up to traffic lights that have already turned red, can save litres per week, as well as general wear-andtear on your vehicle.

Keeping your tyre pressure right, your car tuned, using the right oil, and driving with a bit of anticipation, can all help lower the ballooning bills we are all facing at the bowser, Geoff Parkes of Hi-Tec Vehicle Management said.

“Keeping your tyres fully inflated, not letting them get low, especially at the front, will also make a huge difference to your fuel usage,” he added.

Saving your car, and wallet A few fuel saving tips from the NRMA

He said that while most vehicles have different service schedules for “normal” and “adverse” conditions, generally in Australia, one should apply the “adverse” mileage guideline for servicing vehicles.

“Australian vehicles, because of temperature variances and our driving conditions, should always be serviced at the ‘adverse’ range,” Geoff said.

Using the best quality fuel you can afford can also cost more, but generally gives better performance and fuel economy, he said.

Using the correct oil for your make and model of car can also make a substantial difference to fuel usage, he added.

“Every car now has a tyre pressure plate that gives you the ranges for different loads, And this best serves you from a fuel economy point-of-view as well as good driving,” he advised.

“Again, check the specific make and viscosity of oil suitable for your vehicle, which will be in your handbook; this can also reduce fuel usage as well as saving wear-and-tear on your vehicle,” Geoff said.

1. Shop around for cheaper fuel When fuel was at 95 cents per litre, this didn’t make so much difference, at $2.20, every little bit helps!

2. Cheaper fuel versus economy E10 is generally the cheapest fuel at the pump, though it contains around three per cent less energy than an equivalent amount of standard 91 petrol. This will then generally translate to about the same loss in fuel economy.

3. Avoid hard acceleration and braking Smooth, anticipatory driving can reduce fuel consumption by up to 30 per cent.

4. Watch your speed Keep in the left lane if travelling below the limit, and let faster vehicles overtake you.

5. Lighten the load Take off roof racks and bull bars if they’re not needed. Remove golf clubs or tools if you’re not using them. Run with half a tank at a time; this reduces the load and allows for a quick fill if prices drop.

6. Tyre pressure!

Make sure tyre pressures are set correctly, running to the higher-recommended setting, will reduce the rolling resistance and also helps to reduce the impact from pot-holes 7. Have your wheel alignment checked An improper wheel alignment will cause the tyres to drag increasing the rolling resistance. A wheel alignment is recommended yearly, or sooner if you’ve hit something such as a pothole.

8. Open the windows When driving around town, turn the aircon off and open windows for fresh air. This can save about 15 per cent of your fuel.

9. Service your car regularly Blocked air filters can increase fuel consumption significantly. If your vehicle has done over 100,000km, a good injector clean will make a huge difference.

BUCKET-LIST TRIP FOR

Mavis Gersbach finally meets “Tallara” the koala she has been sponsoring for the past three years through the Australian Koala Foundation’s Adopt a Koala program.

koala-l ing Mavis

— JONATHAN ROE —

Mavis a nd Emily a her grandchild t the Go ren Jay den and ld Coas t koala sanctua ry.

They’ve been Mavis Gersbach’s obsession for most of her 90 years but, it was not until this month, that she finally came face-to-face with a koala.

“Imagine being 90 years old and not seeing a koala, or touching one — you wouldn’t read about it!” Mavis told Orange City Life when she dropped by with photos of her recent koala encounter at a Queensland sanctuary.

Back in March, Mavis came to our office asking if we would urge our readers to do more to help the tragic plight of the iconic Australian marsupial. With bushfires and land-clearing devastating their habitat and a wild population of fewer than 100,000 — possibly half that — it’s feared that the koala could soon be extinct in the wild.

Doing her part for the cause, Mavis had “adopted” a koala through the not-for-profit Australian Koala Foundation, and was urging others to do the same.

What surprised us all then, was when Mavis revealed that she was still to see one in the flesh. Not that there hadn’t been a few failed attempts.

“Peter, my son, he did take me to Dubbo one day. It was a bit drizzly and we went in and… do you think we could find a koala?

They must have been all under the leaves or something, but we couldn’t find one!

on a plane,” Mavis said. “First time I’ve got on a plane… and I really enjoyed the plane ride; usually if someone first gets on a plane they get a bit nervous – I was cool as a cucumber!”

Accompanied by three of her grandchildren, Mavis made the trip from Brisbane to, not just any koala sanctuary, but the Gold Coast home of her own adopted koala “Tallara”.

“We saw all the other animals, but the particular one we wanted… no luck! The story of my life!”

“It was lovely!” Mavis said, laying out the photos from her visit on our office desk and pointing out a young koala with its mother.

But earlier this month, Mavis boarded a plane for Queensland, finally on her way to making a life-long dream come true.

“That’s ‘Mavis’, that’s the one they named after me when she was born,” she said. “And this other one, I’ve adopted her for about three years, I think.”

“My daughter Val decided she’d put us

With adoption time approaching on the calendar, Mavis tells us she plans on adopting her young namesake. It’s something she hopes other people may consider or find other ways to help save our threatened koalas.

“They seem to think they’re becoming extinct with all the bushfires and cutting the trees down and everything,” Mavis said, becoming visibly moved by their plight.

“It makes your heart bleed… I get teary when I talk about it... I can’t help it.”

There are many charitable organisations working to save our dwindling koala population, but Mavis has “adopted” through the Australian Koala Foundation.

IT ONLY TAKES ONE LIFECHANGING MINUTE

On the road to recovery. Amanda with her sister, Sam, and mother, Lorraine, after receiving a new kidney in 2018.

— JONATHAN ROE —

Take just one minute out of your day and join DonateLife in the race towards registering 100,000 new organ and tissue donors.

A

manda Cullen remembers to the minute, when she received the phone call that changed her life.

“It was a quarter past two on a Sunday morning,” recalls Amanda of that June 2018 day... “And when you get a phone call, then you have to drop everything and go and I wasn’t prepared… I didn’t expect to get a phone call for probably three-and-a-half to five years.”

That call was to let Amanda know, that a suitable donor kidney had been found for her at Westmead Hospital.

What followed was a frantic dash to pack bags and head off to Sydney, but now four years on, Amanda remains healthy and free from the weekly dialysis machine appointments and stringent dietary restrictions she had endured previously.

“Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, hooked up to the dialysis machine for five hours to clean my blood,” Amanda said.

“And towards the end, before I got my transplant, I was getting very sick. My blood pressure was dropping, it affects your heart and you’re on fluid restrictions as well when you are on dialysis. I could only have one litre of fluid a day, and that includes what’s in your food.”

This was Amanda’s life for the two-and-ahalf years she spent waiting for a compatible organ donor.

In 2011, Amanda had received a kidney donated by her mother Lorraine, but a bout of double pneumonia caused her to reject the organ.

“To get double pneumonia; it was just one of those things that happens,” Amanda said.

“I didn’t want my Mum to go through such

a really big operation, but Mum being Mum she said, ‘you’re having it!’ She wanted to fix me and the operation went really well and she’s still fine… to get double pneumonia was just one of those things, but I got five-and-ahalf years.”

Amanda knows she is one of the lucky ones.

At any moment, there are about 1850 Australians on the transplant waiting list and another 13,000 people on dialysis.

“I’ve still got friends in the dialysis clinic here in Orange that are waiting for kidneys and, because of my operation at Westmead, I know others whose organs failed and they are back on dialysis; the statistics are always quite high,” Amanda said.

Statistics also show that, despite the majority of Australians supporting organ and tissue donation, only one in three is actually registered.

For many, it is simply that they are unaware of what they need to do to register. They may even think they are already a donor.

“A lot of people think that, ‘twenty, thirty years ago, I ticked it on my licence, so I’m an organ donor,’ but that’s actually not the case,” Amanda said.

“You have to go do it on the [DonateLife] website or do it through the Medicare app… it’s as easy as one minute or three taps on the Medicare app.”

Once registered, also make sure you discuss it with your family as they will be the ones to make the final decision.

“A big thing is, you need to talk to your family and express your wishes because, in the end, they can overrule it,” Amanda said.

“Express to your family that you want to be an organ and tissue donor then, at the end they can say, ‘yes, they want to be a donor’.”

DonateLife Week, July 24–31, is the national awareness week to promote organ and tissue donation.

Registering is easy — it only takes one minute at donatelife.gov.au or just three taps in your Medicare app.

Orange Con “coming home” with $5 million funding call

Proposed development, view from March Street (source; BHA)

— DAVID DIXON — 11 orange regional conservatorium and planetarium statement of environmental effects V1.2

Orange Conservatorium of Music is, in a sense, coming home.

E

stablished decades ago in a couple of old cottages behind the Council Chambers, the site for its new, hi-tech facility is only a stone’s throw away in Council’s “Cultural Precinct”.

With the State Government recently announcing the “last piece of the jigsaw puzzle” — $5 million for construction of the new Conservatorium and a planetarium on the site — work can start soon.

Kicking off with a couple of dozen kids and now serving 1800 music-lovers, Director Donna Riles, says that “the Con” has come a long way.

“We began with about 35 students at Orange Public School in the 1980s, before then, we’d been in two old cottages behind the Council Chambers,” she said.

“We now have 1800 participants, students, members of schools’ ensembles, and community choirs, that we work with,” she said proudly.

At their current site, a converted house-of-worship in Hill Street since 1994, the new facility in the Precinct will offer a public profile that the current lane-way accessed traffic-light controlled facility can’t.

“It was once a Plymouth Brethren church but, because of the extensions we made, it has made entering and leaving more difficult,” she said of the current facility.

“We currently have a low profile, because we’re wedged in a battle-axe block… the new facility will offer us a greater profile and unify us with other arts organisations,” she said

The Con, she says, is much more than just about learning instruments, and provides a community meeting place for groups and individuals who, other than through their love of music, might not otherwise interact.

“We find it’s a very social activity at the Conservatorium with like-minded people all coming together.

“For instance, we have students from all schools in Orange singing together… and adults come here and find new friends,” she said.

Despite references at the launch to the Con’s association with classical music and cello player Stephanie Li performing, Donna emphasised the diversity of its musical offerings.

“We have jazz bands, concert bands, choirs and, as we speak, a combined schools with students from Bowen, Glenroi, and Bletchington are learning a series of songs in the Wiradjuri language, we are diverse in what we do,” she said.

With $10 million each already pledged by the Federal Government and Orange Council, the State Government kick-in ensures that the new conservatorium, and attached planetarium, are all systems go.

“It will be an 18-month build and should commence at the end of this year or the beginning of the next,” she said.

“We’d like to continue growing as we encourage more of our community in enjoying quality music experiences, from early childhood years to some of our performers now in their 90s.”

Donna said this final funding announcement allowing the new facility to go ahead fulfils one of their central ambitions.

“It’s been a long road for the Conservatorium, the Con is a place where people come together in a transformative experience.”

Planned for the vacant north-side lot behind the Gallery, Orange Mayor, Councillor Jason Hamling, said that the Farmers’ Markets currently held on-site, will have a new location adjacent to the new facility.

NSW Upper House Councillor, Sam Farraway said at the launch, that the inclusion of the Conservatorium in proximity to the Regional Art Gallery, planetarium, and Orange Civic Theatre, was “legacy infrastructure” that would create a unique facility for Orange.

“It will be the premier cultural and educational precinct in country NSW.” Arts Minister, Ben Franklin said that the new auditorium alone will increase seating capacity from 185 for the current conservatorium, to 250 seats for the new.

“It will be the best facility west of the Mountains, and one of the premier cultural destinations in this State.”

Cr Farraway, based at Bathurst, defended the non-invitation of Local Member for Orange, Phil Donato from the Shooters, Fishers, and Farmers Party saying, “We’ve been very clear over the past two and a half years, Government ministers announce Government events… they announce Government funding.”

He added that the facility would benefit the whole region.

“This isn’t just for Orange, it’s for the central west,” he concluded.

“Two Thumbs Up” for OCL’s “thank you” feedback column Recent “Thumbs Up” Margaret Cousins’ first-ever journalistic effort: “I’ve never contributed anything to a paper before.”

Love ‘em or hate ‘em, shun them or devour them, Orange City Life’s “Thumbs Up” and “Thumbs Down”, has been one of the most popular and regular features, since our very earliest days.

— DAVID DIXON —

Recently passing its 13th birthday, it featured as a strip column in our inaugural issue of May 21, 2009 as “The Thumbs”, and has been going strong ever since.

see the column as an important and integral part of their weekly Orange City Life experience and have even sent in the odd Thumbs themselves.

Our first Thumbs Ups included, to the: “Anson Street Teahouse”; “Goldfields Tavern in Lucknow”; “the person responsible for fixing the clock above the post office”; “Sandra at the March Street Hair Salon”; and to the Federal Government for: “the right thing to do and give pensioners some extra money.”

“I’ve contributed quite a few, 10 or a dozen, all ‘Thumbs Up’, all positive ones,” Ms Patton said.

Thumbs Downs were reserved for “bullying of any kind. It’s not funny, no one wants your opinion, so keep it to yourself”; and: “to the man on the corner of Peisley and Kite Streets, for throwing his cigarette butts into the garden all the time.”

Thumbs she’s happy to acknowledge as hers, include for a classical musical concert, and some fine weekend handiwork from a local tradie.

Avid readers, Margaret Cousins and Margaret Patton

“I’m a retired teacher, that’s why I know the effect of positive feedback,” she said, adding that ‘Thumbs Up’ provides a way of thanking people who you may not otherwise have the opportunity of doing.

“I went to (Handel’s) Messiah earlier in the year at Holy Trinity Church, I was really pleased about the performance.

...It’s a nice way to say, ‘thank you’ to someone you may not know, because you don’t know who they are, or how to contact them...

“Another one, my son and daughter-in-law broke down here and ended up having to borrow my car to go to Sydney.

“A mechanic worked all weekend to have their car ready for when they come back, they live on a farm out-west, so it had to be ready,” she added.

While she’s quite happy to peruse them, Ms Patton said it’s unlikely that she would she ever put in a Thumbs Down herself.

“I usually read all of them, though I do only skim-read some, I must admit… if something bad happens to me, I generally just try and forget about it.

“Council seems to get a bit of a flogging in the ‘Thumbs Down’, though I think a bit of the criticism is unfair.”

Moving to Orange nearly three decades ago, she acknowledges the positive contribution that this small, independent magazine makes to life in the Colour City.

“Yes, I always really enjoy the paper.

“I do, it’s something that I always read. It’s a very useful publication for finding out about local news,” she enthused.

probably want some work and are available.”

Local born-and-bred, Margaret Cousins, who grew up on her parent’s orchard on the Forbes Rd, only returned two years’ ago from Canberra after a 40-year absence for her husband Bob’s work commitments, with her recent Thumbs Up written about the kindness of strangers.

“We’d gone to a coffee shop, and someone had paid for us.

“We’d had coffee and toast, and the girl said that someone had already taken care of the bill, that’s never happened to us before.”

It is in instances like these, she added, that Thumbs Up plays such a crucial role in maintaining our social capital as a community.

“The person had gone, so we didn’t have the chance to thank them, we had no idea who did it.

“It’s a nice way to say, ‘thank you’ to someone you may not know, because you don’t know who they are, or how to contact them,” she explained.

The Thumbs Up, she explained, was her first-ever journalistic effort: “I’ve never contributed anything to a paper before.”

Thumbs Ups are also an easy and public way of acknowledging local small traders who do a good job, Mrs Cousins said.

“For businesses that are mentioned, it would be good for them.

Our first Thumbs, went in our very first issue of May 21–27, 2009.

“I would look at something I had read with good experiences, and I would use that business.”

The Nation’s capital, she added, can’t shine a light to Orange’s own OCL.

She added, it’s also ideal for that eternal search for “It’s been like coming home and I’m very impressed. the reliable tradie who comes and does a job when and We have papers like that in Canberra, but they’re not how, they say they will. as good as Orange City Life.

“I’ve used the classifieds section to find tradesmen, on the basis that, if they’re advertising, then they’re

The goodenough parent with Emily Thompson

Monday morning. Again.

6.59am: Chris Hemsworth whispers seductively in my ear, “that was the best stew I’ve ever had. You create flawless meals that all taste wildly different in your home-brand slow cooker every day. I can’t get enough of your apricot chicken either, you gorgeous culinary queen. Let me just unzip my…”

Pumpkin Soup:

7.00am: “BEEP” blares the inconsiderate alarm clock.

7.01am: I open the door and Miss 13 emerges from her room, in which she’s not allowed screens at night, with both her laptop and phone behind her back. She’s clearly gotten up early to text her friends. “I’ll turn a blind eye to your sneaking around if you heat the coffee machine up while you do it,” I say.

7.02am: I attempt to wake up Miss Eight.

Comfort food in my home is always about eating with a spoon!

7.12am: I attempt to wake up Miss Eight.

7.22am: I’m handed a latte by my devious, but talented 13-year-old barista, so I Wordle with her and sip my coffee. Sunlight streams through the (filthy) windows and it’s a beautiful moment.

7.39 am: Miss Eight joins us and, after complaining about the unfairness of school attendance rules, eats the only food I could find: croissants from the freezer. This is met with bitter disappointment when I pull them from the oven and they realise there is no triplesmoked ham and Jarlsberg cheese oozing out of them. I explain there’s no ham, or cheese, or bread, yoghurt, butter, roll-ups or milk, and the only fruit is one apple and a lemon. I promise to stop at the bakery on the way to school and tell them to share the last cucumber.

8:02 am: “Do you remember that I’m not going to nag you? And you want to get yourself organised? So you just follow your own list?” I ask Miss Eight. “Well, yes,” begins Miss Eight. “But do you happen to know where I keep my li-berry bag?”

8:23 am: I don’t think I want to ask, but I am financially responsible for dental bills for the next 10 years, so I need to know: “Did either of you brush your teeth?”

Miss Eight excitedly asks me to smell her breath. “Ooh minty fresh!

Well done!” I say. She turns to her incredibly guilty-looking sister and says, “I told you eating mint slices would work!”

We absolutely love soups. Either a consommé, a super healthy and healing broth or a very easy pureé.

Actually, all three are considered types of soups and most people think of them as really difficult or labour intensive, but believe me when I tell you that you can have “restaurant quality” soups at home without fancy equipment or spending heaps of money.

And winter is the season where we can get one of the most versatile, cheap and easy-to-use produce of them all: pumpkin.

Without getting into the many different varieties of pumpkin, let’s say that some are better than others for roasting, soups or sauces.

But here is an easy recipe that will wow your family and friends:

800g pumpkin, peeled and chopped

Miss Eight (beaming):

1 onion, chopped

Me: “Don’t tell the dentist, okay?”

1 garlic clove, chopped

8.28 am: “To the car! We’ve got JUST enough time to get to the bakery!” I shout while raiding Hubby’s swear jar for money. We jump in the car, but it doesn’t start.

8.43 am: I try inserting the “key” in the key slot, getting out and back in again, looking in the user manual and closing it quickly when I realise I need a major service soon. While Googling “my stupid car won’t start”, I realise I’ve grabbed my headphone USB instead of the car key.

I desperately don’t want to admit this, so I send Miss 13 inside for the spare key. The car starts. I blame “battery problems”.

8:49 am: Miss 13 runs into the bakery and comes out with a loaf of bread and sausage rolls for lunches. I pray for no lunch-box checks today and head to the high school first because it’s closer.

8:56 am: I pull into the car park at work with four whole minutes to spare, feeling incredibly proud not to be late. “Am I not going to school today Mum?” pipes up Miss Eight from the back seat.

9:07 am: Back at work, late, but all children are at the correct school AND have half a cucumber for morning tea. I’m still calling today a win.

TRAVEL BAN NEEDED TO KEEP OUT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE FMD is now out of control in Indonesia.

We need to do everything we can to help our neighbours in that country to get their livestock vaccinated. Until they do, the sensible thing to do is introduce a temporary travel ban. Indonesia is a friend of Australia’s but if we work with them, this can be done in a co-operative way. Once Indonesia has things under control (which we can help with) the ban can be lifted.

I remain extremely concerned about the real and present threat that Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) poses to our livestock producers.

An outbreak in Australia would be devastating. It would be a local and national nightmare and we simply can’t let it into Australia. We have to do absolutely everything in our power to stop it.

So far the response from the government hasn’t been up to scratch. First they didn’t want introduce disinfectant footmats at airports because they would irritate travellers’ feet if they were wearing thongs.

They then agreed to introduce them but the roll out has been slow and patchy.

Pre-COVID-19, 1.3 million Australians visited Bali each year and the numbers are ramping up again.

We saw during COVID-19 that the key to stopping diseases spreading across borders is to act early and decisively. I can recall that during the pandemic, people were saying we shouldn’t have a travel ban with China but it turned out to be the right thing to do.

The Federal Government needs to act with much greater urgency to stop FMD getting into Australia. The future of our country communities and our national economy depends on it.

WELLINGTON PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE INSTALLATION It was fantastic to visit the banks of the Bell River in Wellington last week to see the installation of the new Wellington Pedestrian Bridge.

The original suspension bridge was a much-loved feature of the town, and has been greatly missed since it closed in 2017.

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY IRENE CHAPMAN! It was wonderful to visit Irene Chapman of Millthorpe last week who celebrated a century of trips around the sun!

There was a great turnout at Cherrywood Grove in Orange, where friends and family gathered to toast Ms Chapman’s ten tremendous decades - filled to the brim with priceless moments, amazing memories, and the sweetest of smiles!

Happy Birthday, Irene! Here’s to you!

Since then, the bridge’s replacement has been a key project for the Wellington community, and it is exciting that locals and visitors will soon be able to enjoy a stroll from Cameron Park to Pioneer Park on the new truss bridge. The bridge includes Australian Standard compliant ramps for access and mobility to ensure it is safe for everyone to use.

I’m proud that the previous Coalition Government helped fund the project with a $738,000 grant through the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure program.

Congratulations to all involved in making this project happen! Pictured - Andrew with Dubbo Regional Councillors Jessica Gough and Richard Ievy.

MT PIPER POWER STATION ‘EXPO’ REFRESHED AND REOPENED Most of us are familiar with the Mt Piper Power Station near Lithgow, as the recognizable steam stacks are easily viewed from the Great Western Highway, but did you know you can visit?

Tourists can see how the power station works at the on-site ‘Energy Expo’. The Expo is free and offers a wonderful day out. Families can enjoy the hands-on hightech interactive exhibits at the Information Centre as well as the picnic area, children’s playground and electric BBQ facilities.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Expo and all site tours were closed but this time was used to makeover the Expo. I was delighted to visit last week for the official reopening.

The updated Expo includes new digital

displays, signage, improvements to the surrounding gardens and a cultural showcase developed in conjunction with Mingaan Wiradjuri Aboriginal Corporation.

I encourage everyone to pop into the Expo to learn more about the station’s state-ofthe-art design and technology which make it an amazing example of safe and efficient energy production.

Above - I was honoured to join members of the Mingaan Wiradjuri Aboriginal Corporation at the opening ceremony for the new Expo.

COUNCIL AT WORK “The NSW Nationals are building a safer, stronger regional NSW through our record infrastructure investment that will pave the way for a brighter future for NSW families,” Mr Farraway said.

“This upgrade will deliver an economic uptick for Orange, providing enormous opportunities to bolster our local educational, arts and events sectors.

“Bigger purpose-built facilities means Orange City Council can pitch for differing performances, such as acoustic only concerts, from international acclaimed artists.

“The enhanced educational aspects of the upgrade will put Orange at the forefront of parents’ minds when considering their children’s academic careers.”

s MUSIC TO OUR EARS: Orange Conservatorium and Planetarium Committee Chair Cr Kevin Duffy, NSW Arts Minister Ben Franklin, Nationals Upper House MP Sam Farrraway and Orange Mayor Jason Hamling at the funding announcement.

$5 million funding boost for conservatorium project

A new Orange Regional Conservatorium and planetarium for the city is a step closer to reality, thanks to $5 million funding from the NSW Government.

“Orange wants to thank the State Government for providing funding that will finally deliver Orange’s Regional Conservatorium,” he said.

Orange Mayor Jason Hamling welcomed the contribution towards the highly anticipated project, to be built in the Civic Square North Court, and said Orange City Council was ready to get on with the job of developing the Orange cultural precinct.

“It is the final piece of the puzzle in our cultural precinct, bringing music, arts, education, and culture to the whole region and its’ visitors to experience. After years of hard work, it’s now time to make this dream a reality.”

The $25 million project will also be funded by the Federal Government and Orange City Council, to the tune of $10 million each.

Nationals Upper House MP Sam Farraway said the investment would see musicians and enthusiasts of the arts enjoy the same opportunities as their counterparts in the city, providing both a rehearsal space and an auditorium to watch local, interstate and international performances.

NSW Arts Minister Ben Franklin said the new conservatorium would include a state-of-the-art auditorium, performance hall and studio space. The facility will enhance access to creative education opportunities and form a critical component of Orange’s cultural precinct.

“Once completed, this funding will effectively triple the available rehearsal space, provide a 50 per cent increase in studio space, and increased auditorium seats from 185 to 250, facilitating greater access of conservatorium facilities,” Mr Franklin said.

“The conservatorium will deliver expanded music programs to students across the region and will support school STEM learning and increase participation in quality cultural spaces for the local community.

“The Conservatorium will be the final addition to the dynamic Civic Centre which already boasts the Civic Theatre, the Orange Regional Museum, Orange Regional Gallery and Orange Regional Library.”

“Regional communities have had it tough the past couple of years, and this funding will enable us to provide an affordable, enjoyable experience for Orange families in Robertson Park and support local business,” he said.

“There’s plenty we can do as a community during the colder months, so I encourage everyone to rug up, come down to Robertson Park and celebrate everything that makes our city and our region unique in winter.”

“GOLDEN SPHERES” Controversial their cost and local views about their artistic merit may have been, but Orange CBD’s golden spheres are holding up well, Orange Council has said.

Engineering staff were recently seen giving the orbs, constructed of concrete and polyurethane with a gilded, goldleaf exterior, a good looking over.

“It was just routine maintenance; they inspect them and look at what needs to be done to maintain them,” a Council spokesperson said.

“They’re just looking to see if there’s been any impact on them, since they were installed,” he added.

Created as part of Orange Council’s FutureCity CBD enhancement project and titled “Shadowline”, they were

conceived and built by Sydney artists, Julia Davis and Lisa Jones.

Six of the nine golden spheres in total were unveiled in late May in Robertson Park to follow the now-subterranean flow of the Blackman’s Swamp Creek, Orange’s original water supply.

To the casual observer, while some superficial scoring can be seen on the top of some of the spheres, they seem to be holding up pretty well after two month’s public exposure.

Some superficial scoring can be seen on the topside of some of the spheres, otherwise they seem to be holding up pretty well after two month’s public exposure.

The spokesperson said that the orbs are designed to have a public life of about five years.

“They were covered with a heavyduty polyurethane film in two coats, and they’re in pretty good shape,” the spokesperson said

A

ussie manufacturing is experiencing a boom at the moment, says Slinco Powder Coating founder, Glen Attenborough, who has already expanded his young business to meet growing local demand.

It has been no small financial investment, Glen says. Expanding has seen him purchase a CNC plasma cutter, a laser engraver, and extend his powder coating oven to now handle 10-metre objects.

But it has all meant they are able to meet the needs of the local market while bringing in additional revenue streams.

Just 14 months after opening his powder coating and sandblasting business, Glen has now moved into fabrication, making everything from ute trays and balustrades, to laser-cut fire pits and everything in between.

With a background in manufacturing, Glen says adding fabrication services was always on the cards, but it is only due to the strength of demand in the industry, that he’s taken the leap so soon.

“We’ve just grown exponentially… It is definitely the best it’s been for a while.

COVID — as bad as it has been — has seen service brought back to Australia… we are manufacturing more here and it has made everybody really busy,” Glen says.

In January, Slinco put on more staff to keepup with the powder coating and it was then Glen decided that adding fabrication just made sense.

“The people we’re talking to, and the people

Boom time for local manufacturing see SLINCO expand to meet demand we’re powder coating for, are telling us, it’s the busiest they’ve ever been — and at times, they can’t keep up!

“Bringing on the fabrication division is so that we can offer a diverse range of services that we can better assist the

“The services we offer now range from inhouse CAD design, fabrication, sandblasting as a service on its own, powder coating…

We have an in-house plasma cutter and we can cut up to 3.6-metre sheets and then, naturally, we can fold them. We have a laser engraver coming, and we offer 3D printing services and the like. We are in the middle of sorting a resin 3D printer for better-quality prints,” Glen says.

community,” he says.

While the fabrication side will naturally feed into the powder coating business, Glen adds that they won’t prioritise their own work over anyone else’s, as they know the importance of maintaining short lead times.

“Friends and close acquaintances would continue to ask me when we were going to incorporate the services, as they wanted more convenience and understood my background.

It means we are a one-stop shop.”

“First and foremost, we are a powder coating company; one that offers a fabrication service,” he says. “This just enables us to be another ‘port of call’ where people can come and get the services they need. We are just growing to better serve the central west.”

ORANGE HOSPITAL AUXILIARY

Regional aRts Fund IS NOW OPEN

Last week I dropped in to say hello to a few of the dedicated volunteers of the Orange Hospital Auxiliary Café. Of the 40 or so members, there are 22 of them who volunteer their time each week to operate the cafe, which is an important service in supporting the functioning of the hospital. Last year they volunteered close to 8,500 hours to the running of the cafe, and the Auxiliary raised over $185k in the 20/21 financial year which is donated back to hospital and patient services. All money raised stays local. The Orange Hospital Auxiliary turns 100 next year, which is a phenomenal community service effort!

They are calling on volunteers for weekends so that the cafe can support visitors and staff over the weekends, too. If you are interested in helping, please reach out.

Applications for the Australian Government's Regional Arts Fund (RAF) Project Grants are open. The Project Grants will fund high-quality arts projects benefitting regional or remote artists, arts workers, audiences and communities.

The focus of the project could include any area of creative practice, multiple art forms or cross-disciplinary practice.

Apply for up to $30,000. Regional Arts Fund (RAF) Project Grants will close on Monday, 15 August 2022 at 5pm. In NSW, RAF is administered by Regional Arts NSW. If you have any enquiries about the RAF contact the Manager, Grants & Projects at Regional Arts NSW 02 9270 2502 or email funding@regionalartsnsw.com.au

Chamber Fest shows Orange now a premier music venue With a world-first gala performance and an expanded line-up of top Australian and international music talent, the 2023 Orange Chamber Music Festival program is a four-day treat for music lovers.

Moving the festival to new dates in early autumn next year, March 9–13, means Orange is now the first event on the regional Chamber Music Festival calendar in NSW “That’s a good place to be, I believe,” Festival director Carmen Nieves said.

Returning to the program in 2023 will be the Festival Gala on Friday, March 10, featuring Queensland’s Chamber Orchestra – Camerata, the Orava Quartet, and the world premiere of a new saxophone concerto by Australian Nicholas Russoniello which will be performed by Orange’s own Jay Byrnes.

The earlier dates were chosen as it means fewer clashes with local events like F.O.O.D Week, which can see accommodation hard to find in Orange.

“We are reinstating the Festival Gala in the big hall at the Kinross School, we are working in partnership with them,” Carmen added.

It has also made booking musicians easier as they are not already committed to other events, Carmen said.

“This is going to be our ‘flagship event’, because we have two ensembles from Queensland coming over just to do the Festival Gala and Jay is going to be premiering a new concerto that’s being written for him for the Festival,” she said.

“It is also a long weekend in Canberra, so we are just trying to expand into that market,” she said. “We know there’s a lot of interest in Canberra, there’s a lot of culture going on there, and people like these kinds of events.”

by acclaimed baritone David Greco, accompanied by Vatche Jambazian; Digital Debussy — featuring Emily Granger, Jonathan Henderson, James Wannan and composer Tristan Coelho; and the return of Dutch saxophonist Niels Bijl, with Peter Hagen on harpsichord joined by violinist, Rachael Kwa. The featured ensembles are the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra, Duo Blockstick and the Orava Quartet.

The four-day program will also feature performances from Alicia Crossley, Andrew Blanch, Vladimir Gorbach, Stephen Cuttriss, David Shaw, and Eliza Shephard, in a series of events ranging from lunches and formal dinners at some of the district’s most prestigious restaurants, such as Tonic in Millthorpe, Swinging Bridge’s new cellar door, boutique hotels and historic venues.

Other concerts will include: Schubert’s Winterreise — sung

Music-lovers are advised to book well in advance.

Sparrows of Kabul —

songs from war-torn Afghanistan A unique retelling of Australia’s 20-year involvement in the Afghanistan War through music, is being held at the CWA Hall in Robinson Park next Sunday, August 7.

First in an exciting new “Spring/Summer Concert Session” from Jam Orange, the event involves Australian diplomat and songwriter, Fred Smith being joined by Canowindra musician, Nerida Cuddy.

returning from working on the evacuation of Kabul International Airport in August 2021.

“Seeing such desperation with my own eyes struck me to the core,” Smith said.

“It was chaos,” Fred said in describing his final days in Afghanistan before the capital, Kabul, fell to the Taliban.

Returning to Australia, he has integrated stories, poems, images and songs from the evacuation with the Dust of Uruzgan stage show he toured to 80 theatres between 2014–18.

The first Australian diplomat to be sent to work alongside Australian soldiers in Uruzgan Province in 2009 and one of the last to leave in 2013, Smith has been described by many as the unofficial historian of Australia’s involvement in Afghanistan.

The new show, Sparrows of Kabul, is a vivid account encompassing Australia’s 20-year involvement in Afghanistan, culminating in the fall of Kabul and the evacuation.

In 2020, he went back to Afghanistan to work in the Australian Embassy in Kabul. As the Taliban tightened their grip on the city, Smith was at the gates of Kabul International Airport (KIA) helping evacuate passport and visa holders.

“The perception is that our evacuation mission was a ‘monumental stuff-up’. But, in fact, the Australian team managed to get 4100 people out, most of whom are now living in Australia,” Smith said.

His experiences at the horrendous human logjams at its gates of the airport are expressed in his new single, Gates of KIA, which he wrote in hotel quarantine after

“Their girls and boys are going to school and having swimming lessons. We’ve changed people’s lives…

This is a story worth telling.”

An extraordinary song cycle, Sparrows of Kabul has been described as a “beautiful retelling of Australia’s Afghanistan experience”, “utterly beguiling” and “a must-see”.

His previous album Dust of Uruzgan received rave reviews and earned him comparisons to Australian balladeers: Eric Bogle, Don Walker, and John Schumann.

His 2016 book, The Dust of Uruzgan, was described

by Channel 10 Political Editor, Hugh Riminton, as: “convincing a picture as we will ever have of the tragedy, hope, oddness, and courage of Australia’s Uruzgan enterprise… an astonishingly vibrant piece of reportage from the heart of our longest war.”

The lyrics to Smith’s song, Sapper’s Lullaby are engraved in marble at the Australian plot in the centuries-old British War Cemetery in Kabul.

Fred Smith will perform alongside Nerida Cuddy from 1.30pm, Sunday, August 7, at Orange CWA Hall Robertson Park.

Tickets are available at Lander’s Music or: www.jamorange.com.au

Pharmacies provide far more than just filling-out prescriptions these days, what are some of the other services you now offer?

The great thing about our pharmacy, is that we offer a wide range of services; many of which are free and do not require an appointment. These range from being able to pick-up the phone or walk-in for advice on your medications, to utilising our health screening services.

We are also able to test for and treat sleep apnoea, provide vaccinations, and leave certificates.

We can also monitor blood pressure, blood sugar levels, iron and cholesterol, help dress wounds and fit compression stockings. In our pharmacy, we also have a certified Diabetes Educator who provides consultations to our customers. On top of this, we provide free home delivery for medications, both

prescription and over the counter.

In these post-pandemic times, you also offer services like home-delivery and COVID shots. How important are these to your customers?

These services have been essential to so many of our customers receiving healthcare. During the pandemic, we expanded our delivery service to seven days a week and also started delivering to smaller towns around the Orange area. This means that those who are isolating, can call-us for advice and have medication delivered to their door.

Customers also love that they can visit the pharmacy for their COVID vaccinations and the ease of being able to come-in and get professional advice on vaccinations. We have also supported organisations such as Live Better, who look after vulnerable clients, with vaccination clinics and this has been very rewarding work. I thank all my pharmacists and staff for their dedication and commitment.

Why’s it beneficial to go to a local, familyowned pharmacy for all your chemist needs?

I believe it is important to support local business, including pharmacies. I love to get to know my customers by name, their history, and their circumstances.

This means that, when they are going through challenges with their medications, you can give them advice that suits their needs and consider what is safe or going to provide them the best outcome. Having that rapport and connection, also brings people comfort and support in challenging times, and you can be there for them.

We talk everything baby!

Four generations of Orange Nursing Mother’s founder, Beryl Jackson’s family, were at an event celebrating her pioneering work last weekend at the Victoria Hotel. The local group was formed by Beryl way back in 1974 as a supportive collective for natural-feeding mums of babies and toddlers. This Australia-wide organisation — now called the Australian Breastfeeding Association — also generally encourages breastfeeding and the support of mothers.

The organisation provides social and informative support through discussions, guest speakers, and through other practical means, to help families with young children.

LET’S TALK MONEY with DANIEL MCGREGOR

RESCUE YOUR RETIREMENT Are you a retiree or nearing retirement?

I

f so, you’ve spent your entire working life hoping to get to this point… the point in your life when you can afford to stop working. And what’s happening around the world right now is the perfect catalyst to make sure you are doing everything you can to ensure your money is going to last the distance.

(Or perhaps you know someone in that boat?)

Next up is diversification. We all know the saying ‘don’t put all your eggs in one basket’

There are a few key things to get right when it comes to managing your retirement savings.

It’s important to have your money in low-fee products. When we look under the hood, people are often gobsmacked by just how much they are paying in fees on their retirement savings and how much they can save by switching to a new provider (or using the lower-cost options already available to them).

How you have your money invested, known as asset allocation, is of huge importance in retirement. Let me start by stressing that you don’t have to have all your money invested the same way. This simple fact is something that is often not understood by many people, and once they do understand this, then the decisionmaking process becomes a lot clearer.

When it comes to how you invest your retirement savings, the key is to invest the right money in the right investments for the

greatest fear for retirees is running out of money. It might sound obvious, but not running out of money simply boils down to living within your means. But we don’t know what we don’t know, and for many retirees they can find themselves in a situation where they are spending too much and are on the path to running out of money. In some cases, people can afford to spend more and are depriving themselves of a better lifestyle, for fear of running out of money.

That’s where doing financial modelling based on reasonable assumptions can empower retirees to spend a sustainable amount of money each year.

The list of things above are the things that are critical to financial success in retirement. Get those things right and it becomes a lot easier to pass the ‘sleep at night test’ throughout retirement.

needs and then invested accordingly. A sound investment strategy based on some logic and reason, gives retirement savings the ability to deal with the ups and downs which will inevitably occur.

and when it comes to your retirement savings, diversification is the ultimate riskmanagement tool. It is actually very simple to implement!

I’m seeing people every week who need help with these strategies to plan for retirement and are seeking out independent advice. If you’d like to have a chat to see what you can to rescue your retirement, please get in touch.

The last thing to point out is that the

“Get your hands dirty” URGES EX-MAYOR REG

I

— JONATHAN ROE — t’s Australia’s largest community tree-planting event and, this National Tree Day — Sunday, July 31 — Orange City Council is hoping to see 800 new natives planted at Lake Canobolas.

“Have not missed a planting day in decades,” former Orange mayor and gardening enthusiast, Reg Kidd was spotted commenting on social media this past week as he urged more locals to get involved.

Reg’s involvement in tree planting goes back decades, originally joining a group called “Men of Trees” after returning to Orange from university.

“This is before Landcare, and they started a chapter here in Orange… I have always been involved with what used to be called ‘Arbour Day’ and, then down the track, and became ‘Planet Ark Day’, then ‘National Tree Day’ — different names, but the same concept,” said Reg. As a councillor and then mayor, Reg continued his involvement. He said it is particularly satisfying to look back and see the tangible difference their past tree-planting efforts have made.

“We’ve done planting at various parks through Glenroi, out at the Lake, the back of

Bloomfield, the back of the function centre on Bathurst Road,” Reg said.

...Having copped his fair share of criticism about what the Council should and shouldn’t do in the past, Reg said Sunday’s community planting is a way concerned locals can actually make a tangible difference...

“One that I still enjoy driving past is on Burrendong Way, the Robin Hood Hotel, just as you go past that, you will see all those beautiful natives that follow a sort of drain right through there.

“That was one of the planting days and I always remember that because they’ve all done so well!

There was nothing then; dead-flat paddock, pub… nothing.”

Having copped his fair share of criticism about what the Council should and shouldn’t do in the past, Reg said Sunday’s community planting is a way concerned locals can actually make a tangible difference for the future.

“And even if you only plant three, four, five trees — it all helps! And it gives a good sense of community and a good sense of ownership. It makes you feel good. It’s good therapy and it’s something you can go back to later when you’re older and think, I helped plant those trees!”

“I’m a ‘talk the talk, walk the walk’ sort of person.

I don’t tell other people what to do, unless I go out and do it myself,” Reg said.

Orange’s National Tree Day community planting event will be held from 10am–1pm Sunday, July 31, at Lake Canobolas in the open space on the western side of the amenities blocks. Everyone is welcome.

“A lot of people who say we should have this and we should have that; there is this great opportunity to get involved and do something and they are not there.”

“Come and get your hands dirty!” Reg implored.

Every little bit helps, Reg said, whether you can spare one hour or half a day.

“Come and get your hands dirty!” Implores former mayor Reg Kidd, as he tries to drum up numbers for the National Tree Day community “I think it is nice to take someone with you; an planting event at Lake Canobolas on Sunday, July elderly aunt or whatever it may be… my grandkids, 31. Reg is pictured here at Council tree-planting day I don’t know how many times I had them there, but back in 2018.

I always thought it was really important, when they were young, to get out with me for a few hours Reg Kidd reckons he’s not missed a tree planting day in decades. planting trees,” Reg said.

Flashing amber at new crossings means “stop” Flashing amber-orange lights and enhanced warning signs have been placed

by Orange City Council at the two new pedestrian crossings in Byng Street and Lords Place.

Support poles, solar panels, and power boxes containing modified car batteries, were installed by contractors last Friday to warn drivers of the new crossings.

Despite a series of near misses at both crossings and with many local drivers apparently unaware or unconcerned about the right-of-way of shoppers, tourists, school children and staff from local businesses on the crossings, a Council spokesperson said that the lights and enhanced signage were always intended to be installed as part of the project.

Installation of the two crossings is part of Orange Council’s $15 million FutureCity

initiative to help make the central business district a more pedestrianfriendly, walkable precinct.

Other features of the plan, include upgrades of McNamara Street and Lords Place, street art such as the golden spheres tracking the now-subterranean course of Blackman’s Creek, and painted doors and windows, sometimes known as trompe-l’œil, on various walls and streets around Orange.

Council’s website describes FutureCity’s aims as: “to grow professional and community foot traffic during the week, and visitor and community foot traffic on the weekends.

“FutureCity has come up with ways to redesign traffic and people movements (freight, passenger, cyclist and pedestrian) to ensure people can move around the city easily on foot, bikes and cars.”

Ian Gillings with his rebuilt Grand Western Lodge: “I just fell in love with the bones of the building.”

Millthorpe’s grand, old

I

Lodge’s new makeover

an Gillings has managed the financing of projects from sports stadiums to power stations and everything in between.

Nothing, however, prepared him for his “retirement project”, Millthorpe’s Grand Western Lodge!

Pouring “hundreds of thousands” into its refurbishment, his two-year journey is almost over with the famous old building to be soon opened as accommodation.

Visually dominating the quaint tourism destination’s tiny CBD, it has been vacant for a decade following the closure of a hostel that ran for nearly 25 years in the two-storey former hotel.

Seeing a for sale sign on a passing visit to the town in 2020, Ian had no idea how long the work would go on.

“I’m a financial consultant for the infrastructure industry; I worked on some major projects, Olympic stadiums, Olympic villages, power stations, wind farms,” Ian said.

“But this has been way harder. By that, I mean, more challenging in different

— DAVID DIXON —

ways; there’s been so much compliance, things I wouldn’t have thought of,” he said.

The Lodge was built 121 years ago as prestigious hotel accommodation during the golden age of rail, mostly for those attending the then-popular ploughing demonstrations and competitions.

In 1987, the building was converted into a licensed boarding house for people with disabilities for which it operated until being shut down in 2011.

“Adrian had it for about 20 years.

Before then, it was a private house, pre-1964, it was a Castlemaine-Toohey’s Hotel,” Ian said.

“I drove past, and a sign said, ‘Open for Inspection’ and I just fell in love with the bones of the building,” he explained.

Although empty for a decade, the Lodge was still, eerily, fully furnished with the beds, cupboards, dressers, and chairs of the now-departed residents, as if waiting for their return.

“There was lots of brown furniture. The beds were still all made up with multi-

42

coloured bedspreads, lovely crisp, white sheets, soaps, and towels.

“The owner was still very proud of the building, it was like a snapshot of another time. The old kitchen, I’ve estimated, had served 1.1 million meals… breakfast, lunch and dinner, morning and afternoon teas, and supper,” Ian said.

Stripping back the fully-furnished old boarding-house during the lockdowns of 2020 and 2021, proved only to be first stage of the remake.

“Because of COVID, there was no market for second-hand brown furniture, so most went to the tip, or the store at the tip to recycle, or whatever.

“We filled 10 massive skips, there were carpets, beds, electricals, bedside stands… we kept the 1863 Dusseldorf piano because it was too heavy to get in the skip, which was good in the end. More than 400 hours was spent rebuilding it,” Ian said proudly.

One pleasant surprise, however, was the building’s structural integrity.

“When we stripped it all back to the

ORANGE CITY LIFE | JULY 28 — AUGUST 3, 2022

bones, there was not a crack in the walls anywhere.

“Structurally, it’s magnificent, triplebrick on the outside and double-brick on the inside, it’s as solid as a large ship.”

The building’s famous three-sided, 180-degree first-floor veranda, however, was another story, with builder’s braces for years propping up much of the rotten flooring and uprights.

“The biggest thing was the front balcony, it had all to be pretty much replaced, we even had to get new wrought-iron casts made of the lattice.

“We also put in all new electricals, plumbing, carpet, and fittings but kept the ‘conduit as feature’ conduits.”

The building’s imposing and elegant brick-built façade featuring iconic keyhole windows, pictorial leadlight glazing, and central stuccoed parapet bearing the hotel’s name, have all been retained.

“In many ways, it’s been a bit of a nightmare. Not so much the work, but the compliance, but I never regretted taking it on,” Ian concluded.

Waratahs give CYMS a reality check in dominant derby win Orange CYMS suffered another heavy defeat in the Western Premier League after Waratahs beat them 6-1 in the local derby on Saturday evening. It’s an almost identical loss to that in Round Five, leaving the same bitter taste in the mouths of the CYMS players.

Terry and Carl’s doubles triumph

AT COUNTRY TENNIS CHAMPIONSHIPS Orange tennis doubles team, Terry Kastrounis and Carl Buchtmann, claimed a remarkable hard-fought doubles victory at the 2022 Priceline NSW Country Championships.

Playing three matches on the one day to secure a spot in the final against players from across the state in Forster, the pair went toe-to-toe with the very finest in NSW before taking out the top prize.

Their path to silverware glory on the traditional grass courts, couldn’t have been more challenging, yet rewarding, according to Terry Kastrounis.

“Carl and I had early exits from other divisions we entered in these championships, but those elimination setbacks fuelled us to succeed in the Open Men’s Doubles Tier 2 competition,” Terry said.

“With wet weather cancellations and some gruelling matches on the path to the Grand Final, we developed more character and pushed ourselves to go all the way.”

Terry and Carl were one of 18 teams in the Open Men’s Doubles Tier 2 division for regional players outside of the Greater Sydney area.

The duo enjoyed a bye in Round 1, which gave them plenty of time to brush up on their skills and in certain areas. But it was still a mountain they had to climb,

as wet weather cancellations caused program issues along the way.

This included overcoming adversity in the second round after dropping the first set 7-6 in a close tie-break. With their experience and nerve, however, the two came back to win the second set 6-3 and then claim a 10-4 victory in the super tie-break, booking their spot in the Quarter-Finals.

The heavy rain following their first match, however, meant that the pair had to play three consecutive matches on Monday to reach the final.

“Carl and I played super tie-breaks in all matches. In the professional grand slams, the doubles format requires a full third set when the score is level after the first two sets. But we didn’t play a full thirdset in this recent NSW Championship, as we instead played a super 10-point tie-break,” Terry explained.

There were similar scenes in the quarter-finals, as Terry and Carl lost the opening set 4-6. But again, rallied to win the second set 6-3, once more sending the match into a super 10-point tie-break.

The Orange team finally clinched the match, winning 11-9 in a nail-biting third set, successfully overcoming a draining one-hour and 25-minute contest.

During their semi-final encounter, Terry and Carl got off to a flying start after an

impressive 6-3 win in the first set. But the Orange pair couldn’t finish off the match in the second set, losing 1-6.

On the brink of elimination, Terry and Carl dug deep and fought back to win the final set 10-3 and punch their Grand Final ticket.

Just a few hours later, Terry and Carl held aloft the Open Men’s Doubles Tier 2 Premier’s plate. The Orange pair secured victory 3-6, 6-3, 10-6 — their fourth victory in a super 10-point tie-break.

“After winning the semi-final, we hardly had any time to rest before the Grand Final later in the evening,” Terry said.

“We had a 10-minute warm-up before our match, and then somehow, we were holding the title a few hours later. It was definitely a surreal experience.”

Having an understanding of each other was one of the key factors that helped Terry and Carl play some mesmerising tennis in the doubles competition.

“Carl and I have played soccer with Saints FC for several years, so we have that understanding when we play doubles in tennis.

“I think because we even play soccer in the backline, this is a bonus that helps our tennis chemistry. Soccer also helps with positioning, and that’s helped us tremendously in tennis when it comes to serving or hitting the ball in the right place,” Terry concluded.

In the CYMS camp, the players and coaching staff seemed more optimistic after two consecutive victories before facing a Tahs side who were still licking their wounds from a 3-2 loss to Orana in the previous round. But given CYMS’ wins came against lower-placed opponents, the green-and-gold received a reality check once they faced off with a topfour side.

CYMS started well, playing high-pressing offence and keeping it tight in the backline.

But, after 15 minutes, Waratahs’ experience paid off and they scored the opener off a CYMS mistake in the middle of the pitch. This involved Adam Scimone dispossessing t a CYMS midfielder which ultimately set up Guy Burgess to tuck the shot away.

Things only got worse for the green-andgold when a poor clearance just minutes later, presented Burgess again with a goal-scoring opportunity inside the 18-yard box. A foul on the Waratahs striker gave the referee no option but to award a penalty for the hosts.

Craig Sugden coolly dispatched the spot-kick into the bottom-left corner to double the Sky Blues’ lead.

Will Bennett however quickly halved the deficit for CYMS in the 22nd minute after pouncing on some shaky Waratahs defence and scoring a tap-in from close range. Just as the green-and-gold were on the cusp of keeping the scoreline 2-1 at halftime, though, Sugden capitalised off a goal-keeping error to score his brace and give his side some breathing space going into the break.

After the interval, the defensive nightmares only continued for the young CYMS side. An unmarked Lachie Peet put the Tahs 4-1 up in the 54th minute after a delicate cross picked out the attacker who calmly slotted it past the keeper. With CYMS camped inside their half, it only took another 11 minutes for Waratahs to find their fifth goal. A fine through-ball from a Tahs playmaker found the feet of Sugden who rifled a low shot into the bottom corner to seal his hat-trick.

Tahs’ sixth goal came in the 72nd minute through a Hugh Thornhill penalty to cap off another stellar attacking performance. This much-needed victory propels Waratahs into second spot with 29 points, the same number of points as competition leaders, Panorama FC. As for Orange CYMS, they slip back into ninth spot before they travel to Dubbo this weekend to take on Dubbo Bulls FC.

AROUNDTHEGROUNDS with ANTHONY BARBAGALLO

Western Premier League action

BARRACKER THE

PARTICIPATION RATES AND BUSH FOOTY Time was when growing up in Australia, that playing sports, riding your dragster bike around your suburb, and building flimsy tree houses, were the main activity for kids during the school holidays.

Australians had a not wholly undeserved reputation as outdoorsy, open, friendly, egalitarian, if not-too-cerebral, people.

Recently in Orange, a new “Ninja” training facility opened with the purpose of teaching kids those running, climbing, and clambering skills they used to learn in scaling fences, swinging into the local dam on “Tarzan ropes”, and hanging upside down on monkey bars.

The increasingly sedentary style of our lives, a trend only exacerbated by the last two-and-half years of lockdowns, is reflected in sports participation, even in country areas like Orange.

While participation rates for young kids is still pretty high due to parental choices and the encouragement of schools and government, it is in the adult years that the decline of our football codes has been most pronounced.

The Group 10 rugby league, now reduced to eight clubs playing in a “cross-over” competition with Group 11, used to field a number of now-defunct sides including Bathurst Charleston’s, Railway, Penguins, City, and Waratahs.

Teams like Cowra would play on a Saturday, and then turn around and play against neighbouring towns like Young in a southwest slopes and plains competition, The Maher Cup. Lithgow had six sides, Shamrocks, Small Arms Factory, State Mine, St Patricks, and Western Suburbs, of which only “Workies” is still playing.

Orange had the Aces, Our Boys, Rovers, and Waratahs, of which only Hawks and CYMS are still playing.

Towns like Oberon, Kandos, Katoomba, Millthorpe, and Portland swelled the comp to the point that it was divided into Western and Eastern Zones between 1948–1951.

It’s worse for our oldest football

code, rugby, with the Blowes first grade premiership now down to six teams, Orange Emus and City, Bathurst Bulldogs, Cowra Eagles, Forbes Platypi, and Dubbo Roos.

The “southern game”, Australian Rules Football, which has spent vast amounts of money to establish itself in NSW and Queensland as a rival to the two rugby codes, has only a four-team local top-line competition with Orange Tigers playing off against Bathurst Giants and Bushrangers and Dubbo Demons.

Football — our giant as far as participation goes — has, with the re-establishment of the Western Premier League, seen it’s B and A-grade competitions combine, as well as its C’s and fourth division, where, up until recently, they all had separate and distinct competitions.

Loss of senior player numbers is one of the main reasons that all football codes, and other traditionally male games like cricket, have turned their attention increasingly to female participation.

This has helped swell player numbers that have, to some degree, masked the decline in male adult participation.

Envious rugby and league fans used to look at the huge crowds that attended Australian Football VFL (Victorian Football League) matches in Melbourne. At the time when average rugby league crowds in the NSW Premiership were about 10,000, VFL crowds were often double that.

“There’s nothing else to do down there!” northerners would say of Melbourne, then considered a grey old town that, literally, shut up on Sundays.

No football was allowed to be played, no street life, cafes, restaurants, or coffee shops open and, for decades, amazingly, they didn’t even have Sunday papers!

Now, we’ve all got so much more to do, is it any wonder that sport is no longer the central leisure and recreation activity in our lives?.

Barnies return to their winning ways After a shock loss to Lithgow Workies in Round 15, Barnstoneworth United bounced back with a midweek 6-1 win against Macquarie United and a 1-0 victory over Bathurst 75’ in Round 16.

Barnies hosted Macquarie United last Tuesday evening in a catch-up round, where they ran away with a 6-1 victory.

The dominant performance restored some confidence among the players before they travelled to Bathurst to take on a challenging 75’s outfit on the weekend.

On Saturday, the red-and-whites clinched a famous 1-0 victory against Bathurst 75’ at Proctor Park. The fact that the hosts couldn’t get on the scoreboard, shows that the Barnies’ backline is back to full strength.

With these two recent wins, Barnies now jump into third spot with 29 points. Barnstoneworth is also on the same points as second-placed Waratahs and competition leaders Panorama FC, creeping ever so close to the summit of this season’s Western Premier League.

AFL Central West first-grade action Orange Tigers almost cause upset in Dubbo Orange Tigers put up a decent fight in their 64-69 loss against Dubbo Demons last Saturday at South Dubbo Oval.

The Demons, however, displayed a little more quality upfront to get them over the line and keep their second spot in the standings.

The Tigers were surprising leaders 14-9 after the first quarter, but that was the last time as front-runners for the entire game. While the visitors always kept the scoreline close, the Demons somehow managed to snatch a slim victory in the final stages of the contest.

Rugby Union: Blowes Cup first-grade action Emus successfully get past Forbes Platypi Last Saturday, Emus recorded their sixth victory of the season by defeating the Platypi 21-12 in Forbes.

A successful conversion rate and an aggressive attack, helped the Orange side overcome the difficult away-game test. The hard-fought victory keeps the Emus in third spot with 33 points, a healthy position to be in for the last three regular rounds before the finals.

Cowra Eagles too strong for Orange City Orange City is still winless in 2022, with their latest defeat coming against Cowra Eagles. The competition leaders cruised to a 38-7 win, rubbing more salt in the wounds of the Lions.

It’s been one of the most frustrating seasons for Orange City in recent times, but they are a young side who still have a lot of room to grow and improve their game. While they have a point differential of -253 and are nowhere near fourth spot in the standings, the Lions can still use the last three games to experiment with some formations and at least try to push for their first win of the campaign.

Their best chance of gaining a victory is in this weekend’s fixture against Forbes Platypi.

Rugby League: Peter McDonald Premiership Round 14 action CYMS escape with slim win over brave Parkes Spacemen Orange CYMS scraped past Group 11’s Parkes Spacemen last Saturday, winning 32-30 in what looked like a finals footy game at Wade Park.

ORANGE CITY LIFE | JULY 28 — AUGUST 3, 2022

sport@oclife.com.au

CYMS’ creative attack was firing on all cylinders with plenty of aggression narrowly forcing their opponents into submission. The green-and-gold, however, struggled to show any resilience in the defence, allowing Parkes to score five tries and stay in the contest.

Patrick Williams’ goal-kicking inconsistency in front of the posts, was another major factor that made this game tighter than it should have been. Still, his penalty goal in the 54th minute, proved to be the crucial difference in the end.

This vital victory means CYMS remain in second spot and keep the pressure on Group 10 leaders, Mudgee Dragons. Daniel Mortimer’s side may be dangerous going forward, but they still need to tighten things up in the back with finals footy around the corner.

Forbes Magpies survive early scare to cruise past Orange Hawks Forbes Magpies stunned the Hawks on Sunday with a 36-14 win at Spooner Oval.

After causing an upset in last week’s derby with CYMS, the Hawks were looking to record another crucial victory for their top-four ambitions. The Two Blues led in the early stages, but the Magpies soon rallied with a strong attacking display that tore apart the opposition defence. As a result, Forbes charged home to beat the Hawks by 22 points.

Orange Netball is back! Senior Women’s Division 1, Round Nine After a month-long break, local netball resumed this past weekend. With the comp back on, the race for a finals spot is intensifying in the Senior Women’s Division 1.

League leaders, Orange City Craig Harvey Mechanical, ran riot in their 71-28 derby victory over Orange City Our City Real Estate. Their flawless win keeps them undefeated and three points ahead of second-placed Vipers.

The OHS Hornets beat a struggling seventh-placed LS MID West Eyes 54-25. This victory has propelled the MID West Eyes into third spot with 19 points.

The Vipers clinched a four-point victory over fourth-placed LIFE STUDIO, beating them 56-52 in an intense match-up.

This crucial win keeps the pressure on the competition leaders.

Orange Hawks Marvasti Security prevailed in their 48-36 win over last-placed KWS Firsts. As a result, the Hawks have now moved into sixth spot.

Orange Art Society Inc. AGM

Film crews, a gallery partnership were all highlights of Term Two for Riding for the Disabled.

One highlight of this past few months, was RDA Orange Centre hosting a film crew for a day in June where they filmed sequences for Ashcroft ’s IGA to promote the charities that this group support.

This was a fun day with the horses, riders, and volunteers, all doing really well.

RDA Orange Centre also welcomed artist and RDA volunteer, Liam Benson for a sensory experience at Orange Regional Gallery, also great fun!

This involved Orange RDA volunteers attending workshops at the Gallery and assisting participants to experience the sight, sounds, and feelings at hands-on exhibitions. This was also a great opportunity to showcase the work we do and the importance of our horse friends and riders.

Thank you to RDA Tall Timbers and Orange Regional Gallery, for organising this event.

Riders from Bletchington Public School have also commenced coming to RDA! They are really enjoying the activities on the horses and learning new skills. We continue to hold five classes each Wednesday, with participants coming from Anson St,

will be held at 10am on

Glenroi Heights with independent riders as well.

The maintenance team continues to keep the grounds looking good and have tidied up the driveway, put in a new gate, finished more fencing, and cleaned up the tool room.

They will soon place the new concrete water troughs in the paddocks so that the horses can always have clean drinking water.

Monday 8th August 2022 at the Orange Cultural Centre, 22 Sale Street, Orange 2800

Thank you team for your ongoing hard work for our Centre.

Although we have had 14 new volunteers sign up this year, we have not had enough side-walkers and horse-leaders in the afternoon class! It would be greatly appreciated if volunteers could come later or stay longer please!

Thank you to everyone who helps out at our Centre, be it cleaning up in the tea-room or toilets, picking-up horse droppings from the arena, or working with the horses or riders. Your time and effort is much appreciated.

Next Wednesday, August 3, the Centre is going to celebrate the “Horse’s Birthday”, traditionally, August 1.

Family members/carers of our riders are invited to come along to their class and see what they do.

help Cancer diagnosis away just a phone call Cancer is a lonely journey, but support is really just a matter of picking up the phone.

Getting a cancer diagnosis can be a scary and distressing time but, sadly, new research shows that only a third of us would feel comfortable talking to friends and family about our fears and concerns around treatment and dying.

Don’t forget to follow our Facebook page: Riding for the Disabled NSW Orange or Instagram @rdaorangensw

But Cancer Council NSW wants people to know that support is just a phone call away.

THE

Recently launching their “Here for Life” campaign, the Cancer Council wants to raise awareness of their 13 11 20 Information and Support line that is available to anyone affected by cancer before, during, and after treatment

robus NOTES

“13 11 20 is the first port-of-call for all of Cancer Council’s Information and Support Services, services that can help relieve some of the burdens of cancer,” Cassandra Sullivan from Cancer Council NSW Orange said.

with Keith Rawsthorne

Things are looking up at Probus; this month saw the best attendance for ages with the induction of four new members and excellent guest speakers.

A minute’s silence was held in respect of member Noel “Boots” Barlow, who passed away recently.

As well as the new members welcomed and inducted into Probus, the meet also featured Brian Webb and Ian Phipps attending as visitors.

President John Read introduced the new members starting with Noel “Elbows” Elbourne — a world traveller who, after education at Hurlstone Agricultural High School, worked with Coca-Cola, and owned a service station — and who has been in Orange for 30 years.

Another new member was Gordon Barkey — originally from the Netherlands, who worked in South Africa and Canada, is a whiz with computers, and now has a financial planning business in Orange.

Bob Wyllie is an engineer who, having started in Sydney, has worked in many Local Government

areas including at Molong. His other interest is breeding Hereford cattle.

Lastly, Peter Toedeter, after graduating from Newcastle University, worked in the steel industry and as a professional geologist in local mines as well as growing macadamias.

This influx of new members prompts thoughts as to how successful our recent promotion of the group, mainly through OCLife, have been with more people now enjoying the fun and friendship of Probus.

TOURS: The postponed trip to Millthorpe is definitely back on.

Names will be required this month so your lunch can be ordered.

Further plans are for a train/lunch trip to Stuart Town, a bus trip to Dubbo Royal Flying Doctor Base (and a few other things depending on time), and Bathurst Railway Museum.

GUEST SPEAKERS: We were privileged to have Dr Brie Turner and Dr Phillipa Southwell next meet to talk about Health Service in the Region and Remote areas,

particularly in getting graduate doctors to stay and work in these areas where doctors are most scarce. Within the system, NSW Health are developing support structures for these doctors. Both speakers, who are from the Central West, are GP’s with advanced qualifications. Dr Turner has a PhD in Immunology/science, and Dr Southwell is also a pharmacist.

Medical students can now do “endto-end” study to fully qualify in the bush. Specialist training must go to Sydney, but are helped to return to the regions.

Future Speakers include, in August, Mick Maguire from the CWD, Tim Leahy on electric cars, with a game of croquet for those who like “gentle sports”.

RAFFLE: Dr Pip Southwell drew the raffle which was won by John Southwell — no relation!

This Note comes to you from sunny Darwin, (aint technology great?) so no verse, but “There is no such thing as a grumpy old person, once you get old, you stop being polite and be honest”.

“By calling 13 11 20, people are able to access all practical services in our far west communities and support they may need.”

In 2023, it is expected that over 53,000 people will be diagnosed with cancer in NSW alone. But given the findings of the recent study, it could be that 67 per cent of them may not know where to turn for support.

The data also showed that only 315 calls and emails were made to 13 11 20 from the western region so far this year.

“It is devastating to think that only 33 per cent of them would feel comfortable speaking to family and friends. We know cancer can be an isolating experience as it is, and we need to ensure there is as much support available as possible,” Cassandra added.

“We have many people contact 13 11 20 who feel like they have no one to talk to, and if they do, they don’t know how to talk to them about cancer and their diagnosis.”

The 13 11 20 Information and Support line is delivered by healthcare professionals who can connect people to practical support such as financial assistance and also offers emotional support including the Cancer Council’s Counselling and Cancer Connect programs.

“We want the people of our communities, to know they are not alone and 13 11 20 is here for them.

“If anyone is feeling isolated by cancer, has any concerns about cancer, or simply wants to talk to someone about their diagnosis, they should call 13 11 20 or email, 131120@nswcc.org” Cassandra concluded.

Men’s Probus next meets at Orange Ex-Services Club at 10am on Wednesday, August 3. Share the fun and friendship.

Being known

by God

OLD HOUSE T E IN ANSON STRE This week’s photo shows the demolition in 1957 of one of Orange’s oldest residential buildings, situated at what is now 173 Anson Street. The ownership of the block can be traced back to John Jacobs, who bought it for £4 at a government auction in 1854. It is believed Jacobs built the timber slab cottage between that date and when he sold the block in 1861. Subsequent owners built other structures on the block and, for many years, bank managers lived in a later building.

God tells us in the Bible, that he knows us. And this isn’t a superficial thing, as in God ‘knowing’ in some vague and occasional way, that we simply exist. No, it is described as the deepest possible ‘knowing’. He knows everything about every single person, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, everything that we will ever do or say, or even feel or think! And even more than that, he knew us before we were even formed in our mother’s womb, and he purposefully made us who we are and planned our existence from the beginning of time. These are big truths to get our heads around, but when we come to truly understand that, we are known ‘through and through’ by the maker of the Universe and that we have his attention at every moment of every day, we can only be either awesomely frightened or awesomely excited, or both at the same time!

An obvious next thing to do, is to think very seriously about how we should respond. I recommend consulting a Christian friend!

THUMBS UP to the local retired Millthorpe resident who — with good cheer and using his years of trucking expertise — was able to drag his neighbour’s hopelessly bogged peoplemover out of their paddock with his trusty old tractor on one recent Sunday.

His answering of his fellow man’s call in need was greatly appreciated!

THUMBS UP to Norman Southwell for reaching the grand old age of 90.

Happy birthday, congratulations, and best wishes, from your family and friends!

has a full-time position for an enthusiastic ADMINISTRATION OFFICE ALL-ROUNDER SUPERSTAR The perfect candidate will have an intimate understanding of the media industry with prior admin experience. You will be a valuable support person to our sales, editorial and production teams.

THUMBS DOWN to the “night stalker” who was staring through the lattice on our front veranda on the nights of Tuesday–Wednesday, July 10–11 and apparently “lifted” our clothes airer. I think it’s time you did a good deed for someone. And did you also toss our glass-topped table onto the road?

THUMBS UP to the staff at our local RSPCA. Recently, a lovely girl immediately helped me get items from my car, and then Keagan dealt with some paperwork for me. Both of these staff were so helpful and caring, and nothing was too much trouble.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for the “repairs” to the “sinkholes” in Elephant Park; repairs which have now resulted in widespread slush and multiple trip hazards that have been caused by the uneven mesh of the work.

THUMBS DOWN to the kid that stole a soft drink from Sushi Roll & Fresh Bar in the shopping centre. Didn’t your parents teach you that stealing is wrong?

THUMBS UP to Daniel, Naomi, and the crew at Cafe Bloom, Orange. The warm smiles, heartfelt conversations, delicious food, and great coffee, are appreciated every single day. Thank you, for being you!

THUMBS UP to the two ladies at the entrance of Bunnings’ garden section, who have to work under these wintery conditions!

THUMBS DOWN to the man who was walking his brown/white fluffy dog in Robertson Park on the morning of Monday 18 July, when his dog did a “No. 2”, and he just walked away with his dog and didn’t pick it up. You’re a grub!

THUMBS UP to the staff at The Greater Bank, Orange. They provide such good service, always! Nothing is ever too much trouble.

THUMBS DOWN to the manager of a well-known clothing store in Orange, who recently demonstrated rude and impatient customer service. I definitely won’t be recommending anyone to go to this store.

THUMBS UP to the Orange Fire and Rescue for recently installing my fire alarm for me. This is a very valuable and appreciated community service for those who cannot climb a ladder. Thanks to “OFnR” for a top job.

THUMBS UP to Laser Plumbing for recently fixing a very annoying tap at our workplace. After being told by another firm that it would be at least a month before they could get to it, Laser Plumbing came the same day we called them, and fixed it straight away. Such amazing service, thank you!

THUMBS UP to Dr May at Orange Family Medical; she is a great doctor and a lovely woman, and was absolutely brilliant when treating my son recently.

THUMBS UP and thank you to Orange Health Service. Specifically, Dr Annie and the staff at Ambulatory Care, the MET Team, Dr Gregory Button, all the staff in Emergency, the security guard, the X-Ray team, the Intensive Care doctor, lung specialists, and everyone else that was on duty on the afternoon/night of Saturday, July 16. The compassion and understanding that was shown to myself and my family, was very much appreciated at such a sad and stressful time as the passing of a loved one.

Introducing Maggie!

Sc an QR Co de

Hi there! My name is Maggie and I am a stunning 8 month old Australian Cattle dog Female who is now ready for my forever home.

I am a bright and bubbly girl who is always happy to learn new tricks and be by your side. I do however have some restrictions to make sure I get the perfect home, these include: • No other animals • Ongoing training

I do show some common cattle dog traits that will need to be managed in my new home. The team are more than happy to talk to my forever family about these. I would love plenty of walks and a big secure backyard for me to keep me safe and run around in.

THE SCREENPLAY

It’s always hard when they make a movie out of a classic book.

I know my birth certificate alerts everyone to the fact that I’m 56 but, except for when I’m getting out of bed in the morning, I try hard to be 20 years younger than that.

Pretending.

Fitting into that category was the reading of (and obsession with) the Harry Potter books. The first one came out in 1997, but I didn’t get on the bandwagon until 1999, which made me 33 — some would say, a bit old to be reading about wizards and broomsticks.

I basically read the first two books cover-to-cover in a couple of days each, and like much of the rest of the world, was left hanging until the next one was published. I love it when I can become fully ‘immersed’ in the words of a book – there were times during the seven HP books, where I was ‘there’ in the Wizarding World. It doesn’t happen with every book I read, but Harry, Ron, and Hermione sucked me in. Then, in 2001 excitement built in anticipation of the first movie coming out.

They did a pretty good job, we thought, which brings me to the big issue in this 600-word waffle – the screenplay. Sometimes an author will rewrite their novel as a screenplay and, at other times, someone else steps in because the original author just can’t bring themselves to leave out any ‘stuff ’. They even split up one of the Harry Potter books and made two movies out of it, just so they didn’t have to skip essential storyline details. It’s almost impossible to include every plot twist, and critics will always have their knives out. We all know haters gotta hate, sigh.

They had some big problems in the Hunger Games series with leaving stuff out. I would have had trouble following the essentials of what was going on if I hadn’t

read the books beforehand, but it’s always going to be difficult. The same thing happened with Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park series, there was just too much good stuff to include it all.

One of the greatest pieces of writing ever (in my opinion) was the novella called Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption

by Stephen King. It appeared in a fourpart collection of stories called Different Seasons, published in 1982. After reading it in the late ‘80s, I became obsessed with seeing this become a movie and, in 1994 it was made into the movie called The Shawshank Redemption. Now, get this, the novella was only 106 pages long. That meant that basically every single detail written on the pages was squeezed into the screenplay and then onto the big screen.

In a very rare feat, the movie was just as good as the paperback. Extraordinary. The greatest short story became the greatest movie – 106 pages. Novella 10/10. Movie 10/10. The only time I’ve ever done that.

I know nothing about nothing, but maybe the books and their movie adaptations should be judged separately. Ninety-nine per cent of the time, a movie will never be able to achieve what my brain can do, image-wise. Last Thursday, I surprised my wife with a night out to the flicks to see the opening night of the movie ‘Where The Crawdads Sing’. This spine-tingling murder mystery shifts forward and backward through time, so when I was reading it, I believed it was going to be very difficult to include all the ‘stuff ’ on the big screen. No spoilers here of course, but I did lean over and say (twice): “They just left out about 50 pages there.” No biggie. The absolutely stunning images of the Carolina marshland took me to the same places the book did.

Book 9, movie a solid 7 ½. Jump on-board.

And then, go back and read Rita Hayworth — you won’t be sorry.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

Cone of Shame: Last week, our six-month-old puppy got desexed. A big shout-out to the team at Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital for the way they cared for him during the procedure.

The downside to this operation is that our little guy now has to wear a cone around his neck — or as the Pixar film, UP, calls them, a “cone of shame” — for the next 10 days to stop him licking and chewing his stitches.

As I watch him try and negotiate his days with the cone, sometimes I find it comical as he comes running up to me with his big grin framed by his cone. Other times I feel sad for him because I can see how it is making his everyday life that little bit more difficult.

Our puppy is a small dog (a Shih Tzu/ Maltese cross Chihuahua) so even the simple things like going up a couple of steps into the backyard, have become a difficult exercise.

As I watch him trying to navigate life with his cone of shame, I know that I could simply fix his problem in the short term by removing his cone, but I know that if I do it could have long-term consequences for his health.

Instead, I know that I must care for him as best I can, show him love and affection and be patient with him. All of us carry shame

ORANGE CITY LIFE | JULY 28 — AUGUST 3, 2022

to varying degrees. We all have a cone of shame surrounding us.

For some, it is almost as obvious as the “cone of shame” on my puppy. For others, it is a shame that is buried deep down inside of us, that only we know about. This shame is because of something that has or hasn’t happened to you. Or because of something you did or didn’t do.

How do you deal with shame? Do we ignore it? Look for a way of numbing it? We can all try various ways of dealing with our shame, but do they really and truly deal with it?

The central message of the Bible, is that our shame is fully dealt with by Jesus at the Cross. This is because he died to pay for all the hurt, pain, shame, guilt, and everything else. And he did this out of love. This is the heart of the Christian message. It is a message that I believe. It is a message that shapes the very core of who I am. It is a message that gives hope to the hopeless. Peace to the conflicted.

Healing for the broken. Strength for the weary. The Christian life is one of humility, honesty, generosity, and care. And that’s all shaped by what Jesus has done at the Cross, where he dealt with my shame once and for all. So as I seek to help my puppy deal with his “cone of shame”, it has given me an opportunity to think about how I can be caring for others with the love of Jesus.
