Austins Over Australia in Millthorpe!

A

ustin Motor Vehicle enthusiasts from all over Australia flocked to the Central West last weekend for a weekend touring Orange and surrounding towns, while sharing their love for the iconic vintage vehicles.

Held every two years in different parts of the country, Austins Over Australia is open to all Austin Vehicle Owners, no matter what make or model. The 2024 gathering, hosted by the Austin Motor Vehicle Club NSW, was attended by about 90 vintage vehicles, many travelling from Sydney and interstate for the weekend rally, held in Orange, Carcoar, Millthorp and Molong on March 7–11.

“This is what they call Austin’s over Australia where Austin motor vehicles come from different states, we’ve got Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, country NSW, plus

Sydney car clubs up here,” said Rob Franks, a founding member of the Austin Motor Vehicle Club NSW.

“We started this club in 1979,” said Rob. “When we first started the club, it was only six of us. Within those six months, we had the club going we were up to 120-odd members!”

First joining an Austin A40 Club in 1975, Rob and a few others formed the Austin Motor Vehicle Club to include all Austin vehicle owners.

Rob said Austin vehicles have been a passion for as long as he could drive.

“I’ve had a few different types,” said Rob. “My very first car was a 1950 Austin A40 Devon, and then I bought an Austin A40 ute. I had it for a while and then over the years, I had a few others, a couple of Austin 10s over the years…

I’ve had Austins ever since 1973!”

WE CAPTURE THE

OF ORANGE

Congratulations to all the volunteers and organisers of the Orange Running Festival for what was their most successful event to date. Almost 1,000 people came to Orange from all over Australia and overseas to take part in the festival which drew a total of 2,300 participants — the largest crowd they’ve had to date. It was terrific weather all weekend, although no doubt those on the last leg of the marathon or half marathon may have found it a little warm. I was out at Gosling Creek on both days, joining my 8-year-old in the Community 2k on Saturday and back the following day to support my amazing wife, who ran her first-ever half marathon on Sunday and my eldest son who did the 5k. It was a great atmosphere and fun to be a part of. My wife insists that she is now done with distance running and will never, ever consider a marathon, but not a year ago, she was just as adamant that she had no interest in taking part in any running event, so we’ll see.

But I have certainly found her example to be inspirational and it’s motivated me to get out and stay more active. Thank you for that – and everything else you do for our family!

And again, congratulations to all those behind the running festival on a well-run and successful event!

Thank you to our Sponsors:

Last week I also found myself taking an enjoyable trip out to Millthorpe for work. It’s always nice to find an excuse to get out of the office and even better to find an excuse to grab a burger at Spring Hill on the way home. While in Millthorpe, I caught up with the visiting Austin vehicle clubs on their big rally around the region.

More than 90 vintage vehicles came from all over Australia for the national rally, which is held every two years in different locations around Australia. If you missed them, you can see some of their fabulously preserved cars inside.

Orange City Life is grateful to the following sponsors for their ongoing support over many years. These sponsorships, among other things, have enabled us to bring our readers a lot more enjoyment to our publications than would otherwise be possible. In return, we ask you to please support them as often as you’re able.

It’s hard to believe but Easter is just around the corner. As our office will be closed for the public holidays, we would like to remind all our contributors and advertisers to get in touch with us as early as possible ahead of the holiday.

Orange throws support behind inaugural Rainbow Festival

T

— By EMILY MIDDLETON — he inaugural Orange City Rainbow Festival is set to be a weekend of colour, fun, acceptance and love, say organisers.

The weekend celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community is the first of its kind for Orange, but a number of Orange City councillors want to see it become an annual event. “[The Festival] is mainly about reflecting and making people feel accepted, and also for children to accept those who are maybe different in their communities,” Orange City Council Deputy Mayor Gerald Power said.

“It’s vitally important that we have that inclusion with these wonderful folks in our community.”

The weekend will kick off on Friday,

March 22, with Drag Bingo at the Greenhouse. The main events will take place on Saturday, March 23, with a street parade, festival and street party, concluding with a Sunday Brunch with the (Drag) Queens.

Hosted by the Orange Youth Action Council’s Sincerely Queer group, the festival is supported by Orange City Council’s Community Services, and is fully funded by the NSW Government’s ‘Our Region, Our Voice’ Regional Youth Investment Program.

Earlier this month, a motion by Orange City Councillor Kevin Duffy called for the council to cancel support and involvement in the festival. However, the motion was defeated nine votes to three at the March 5 meeting, and the festival is set to go ahead as planned at the end of the month.

Hundreds of people turned out to the council meeting in support of the event, with over 20 registered speakers having their say.

“I’ve been receiving emails and text messages since the meeting, just saying how much they felt loved, how much they feel accepted in our community,” Cr Power said.

“They can be who they are without hiding now because we’ve made it a public show that we as a city, the majority of the city, will not tolerate anybody that is discriminated against, in whatever shape or form.”

Speaking at the council meeting was Jonathon Hoskings, one of the organisers of the Bathurst Mardi Gras, now in its fourth year. Mr Hoskings spoke about the importance of the event, and what it will bring to the community.

“I spoke about how we want to be on the right side of history when it comes to overcoming social injustices,” he said.

“I spoke about how beneficial this will be for our local economy… but I also spoke about how the festival runs alongside other important events such as International Women’s Day, NAIDOC Week, Reconciliation Day, Harmony Day, and how this is the next step in recognising people within our community.”

Event organisers have said that attendees can expect a lot of love and support at the Rainbow Festival, which includes a number of free events over the weekend of March 22-44. For the full schedule, visit: www.orange.nsw.gov.au/ rainbow-festival

Orange City investing in future talent at Bowen Public School Orange City Rugby Club delivered a little treat to students at Bowen Public School last week, putting on a free breakfast and rugby clinic for students in what’s hoped will be the first of a long-term partnership with the school.

Orange City sponsor McDonald Orange supplied the free breakfast for the children last Thursday, which was followed by club members running the students through a series of fun Drills.

organisation to donate the proceeds of the club’s annual charity golf day fundraiser.

“We thought, why don’t we think about someone who isn’t a well-known charity, but where we could get down to the grassroots of our community,” Darren said, explaining that the club hopes to build a relationship with the school and help foster young rugby talent.

“Bowen, they’re a school full of kids from all demographics and some of the best sports stars will come from these sorts of schools,” he said.

“We’re giving them a run-through on rugby and the joys of playing rugby and also playing sport in general, whether it be rugby league, union, or whatever,” Orange City Vice President Darren Wooding said.

“So it’s not just a one-off day, we’re going to be doing some regular things… give these kids a little bit of an insight into the sport and that partnership, hopefully, will foster and we can benefit as much as the kids.”

“About what it’s like to be part of a team and playing sport and hopefully the kids will get something out of it.”

As well as the breakfast and rugby clinic, Darren said Orange City donated additional funds to the school to spend as they see fit.

Darren said the idea to reach out to the school came when they were looking for an

‘May I Hug You?’:

New children’s book takes a gentle look at boundaries and personal space

O

— By EMILY MIDDLETON —

leta Blunt is an Orange-based author and mum of three, who wants her daughters to grow up understanding and appreciating their “big emotions, and the emotions of others”.

Her debut children’s book ‘May I Hug You?’ aims to do just that, offering a gentle look at asking permission and respecting boundaries. Illustrated

by Katherine Appleby, the book follows the story of a dog in a new home and how he navigates his new situation.

“It’s essentially a story with some endearing characters that really impart some essential skills for preschoolers, such as empathy, understanding, boundaries, and also respect,” Oleta said.

Drawing on her own experiences as a survivor of

childhood and early childhood sexual abuse, Oleta saw the need to introduce the vital skills of asking permission and making others feel safe from an early age.

“For me, it was really important to understand how, as a mother, I could really delicately address these things.

And to me, obviously, having three daughters, I really wanted to start empowering them at such a young age, like preschool age, to try and navigate social interactions and having confidence and understanding around what boundaries and respect looks like.”

Oleta’s oldest daughter started school this year, and Oleta wanted to make sure she was well-equipped with all the skills needed to manage without mum around.

“I think understanding boundaries and understanding what respecting personal space looks like, is really key,” Oleta said.

Growing up, Oleta said there was a lot of pressure put on her to physically interact with relatives she wasn’t necessarily comfortable with. She said this was something she wanted to make sure her children never felt pushed into doing, despite the generational expectation.

“I will never push my daughters to hug their grandparents if they’re not feeling like they want to, there may be things in their mind that they’re dealing with, or they’re trying to navigate... So I’d never want to put that pressure on my daughters, as it was placed on me,” she said.

“I think it’s paramount that boundaries and respecting personal space are spoken to at an early age.”

‘May I Hug You’ can be purchased at Collins Booksellers Orange and at online retailers.

R

espite care at LiveBetter’s Anson Cottage isn’t just about giving carers a break.

CROSS-COUNTRY INDEPENDENT MPs BLAST MAJOR PARTIES FOR SUPERMARKET INACTION STOPPING THE SUPERMARKET HOGS AND MAJOR PARTY PORKIES

This week I teamed up with Bob Katter, Member for Kennedy, to draw attention to the shocking behaviour of the supermarket pigs and hogs.

It would significantly shake-up the behaviour of the grocers, wind back the market share of the big supermarkets, and level the playing field between the farmers and the supermarket giants.

In summary, the legislation would:

Just weeks after Katter’s now famous pig stunt at parliament, we let the pigs out of their pens again… this time at the Senate inquiry into supermarket prices held in Orange.

• Force divestiture of the supermarkets and their market power in the grocery sector to a maximum of 20 per cent within five years.

This is because the supermarket snouts are in the money trough. They’re rolling around in massive profits, yet they pay our farmers a pittance and price gouge customers on the way through.

• Maximum 100% mark up for supermarkets (they’re currently marking up hundereds of percent) to give farmers and consumers a better deal.

Urgent action is required to give our farmers and consumers a fair go.

MAJOR PARTIES ARE ALL TALK

Talking about taking action is not good enough. Words have to be backed up by deeds. The National Party had nine years to stop the supermarket hogs and failed. They also introduced the Grocery Code of Conduct and it turned out to be a dud which has not stopped the price gouging.

The National Party also introduced laws on the misuse of market power which have also been ineffective in taming the hogs.

REDUCING SUPERMARKET DOMINANCE BILL Next week in Parliament, the Independents are taking action, with Bob Katter introducing the Reducing Supermarket Dominance Bill.

• Scrap the ‘food and grocery code of conduct’ noting it fails to address power imbalances and instead provides a mechanism by which supermarkets control suppliers and producers.

WHAT DO WE WANT? What we want is for the National Party and all major parties to not just hold press conferences and talk about taking action, but to actually vote in favour of this gamechanging legislation.

If you’re not prepared to back up your big talk with a vote in Parliament, it’s all just hot air and porkies.

We want the major parties to back up their words with deeds. Stop just talking the talk. Start walking the walk.

Vote for the Reducing Supermarket Dominance Bill. Help get the snouts out of the trough.

CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY AT ORANGE CHAMBER MUSIC FESTIVAL

I

t was wonderful to celebrate International Women’s Day by attending a special performance at the Orange Chamber Music Festival.

International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate the extraordinary women in our lives, toast their achievements, thank the trailblazers for all that they have done to get us here, and continue the push for equality.

When we are all given equal opportunities, communities thrive, so we must continue to press forward to ensure that women and girls

everywhere are given the opportunity to reach their full potential.

Festival Director, Carmen Nieves, dreamt of creating an event filled with inspirational speeches and beautiful chamber music by trailblazer women composers to celebrate the day - and she certainly delivered!

LiveBetter’s Helen Miller, General Manager of In-Home Support Services & Clinical Lead, gave a heartwarming speech about women who inspire her, and about taking affirmative action to improve equality.

Thank you for having me along!

HARVEST DAY AT ANSON ST SCHOOL!

arlier this week, it was great to join in the fun at Anson St School's Harvest Day celebrations!

Across from the school sits Anson Farm, which features twenty rows of tempranillo grape vines. Throughout the year, students from Anson Street School and Orange High School tend the vines to ensure the grapes are the very best they can be!

Thanks to all the recent sunshine, vintage has come early this year, so students, parents, friends and teachers set to work with their snippers, collecting the ripe and juicy grapes.

Well done to all involved in this great project!

ORANGE RUNNING FESTIVAL A TRIUMPH!

C

ongratulations to Orange Runners Club for organising a simply outstanding Orange Running Festival on the weekend!

SUPPORT OUR ADF MEMBERS AND VETERANS

T

he men and women who serve Australia in uniform put themselves in harms way for our country.

The 2024 Orange Running Festival drew crowds from all over the world and every state of Australia. It was nothing short of an absolute triumph!

They give Australia their best, so it’s vital that in return, our nation gives our ADF personnel and veterans our best.

It was an honour to join Deputy Mayor Gerald Power to present some awards to medal winners on Saturday evening.

Congratulations to Festival Director, Anthony Daintith, Festival Secretary Sue Klose, President of Orange Runners Club, Judy Tarleton, and all of the Runners Club members and volunteers who contributed to such an amazing weekend.

They work to make sure that our defence force personnel and veterans are cared for, that’s why it was very important for me to catch up with Jo Stewart and Marc Mathews in Orange last week to hear of the important work that is going on in our community in veteran care.

Jo is a current member of the Royal Australian Navy and Marc is a compensation advocate and RSL NSW Wellbeing Support Officer working out of Molong RSL. I would like to commend Jo, Marc and all of our veteran and ex-service organisations for all of the work they are doing to provide ongoing support for our veterans.

Our communities are very grateful for everything that ADF members and veterans do for our country.

HENLEY HITS A HOLE IN ONE FOR THE CANCER COUNCIL!

I got the chance to meet young Henley Morris who took part in the Longest Day fundraiser, which involved participating in an ultimate golf challenge.

Henley completed 54 holes and raised over $5,000 in vital funds for the Cancer Council’s research, prevention, and support services.

Well done Henley! What a stellar effort!

ne of the most exciting aspects of the upcoming Dancing with Bees public artwork will be the inclusion and celebration of Orange’s young dancers in the project.

Following a casting call put out by the artist Zanny Begg last year, it was inspiring to see young performers from our region

selected to dance for this ground-breaking project by one of Australia’s leading visual artists. The resulting images, filmed by local production outfit Little Image Co in our Civic Theatre are extraordinary and we’re looking forward to seeing their beautiful performances highlighted through this public art installation.

Dancers from our region include Madison

secured from Creative Australia and Create NSW. Additional funding from a NSW Government Arts and Culture Infrastructure Grant awarded to Council for Public Art projects also ensured that the project could be realised.

This image is a production still from a dance by Paityn Klaare and Lylah Maunder. They are presenting a creative response to the Sugar Bag Bee/ Austroplebeia Australis – one of the 11 native bee species that feature in the artwork each hour. The 12th bee, in case you’re wondering, is the introduced European Honey Bee. Lylah and Paityn’s performance will appear daily on the LED screens installed outside the Civic Centre on Byng Street in the 6am and 6pm slots.

They are our six o’clock bees.

Join us on Wednesday 27 March at 5.30pm as Zanny Begg, Artist and Peter Gillespie, Curator, Scientific Collections, Biosecurity Collections, Primary Industries, Department of Regional NSW present a discussion in the Gallery Theatre about the project. Also included will be a dance performance by Central West dancer, Maddie Tratt who features in the ‘Dancing with Bees’ project. This will be followed by the official launch of the project in the cultural precinct, including a performance of the Sugar Bag Bee dance by Paityn Klaare and Lylah Maunder.

Zanny Begg professionally engaged all of the dancers as well as the local videography team. She majority-funded the project through grants that she

WHAT’S HAPPENING @ — SPONSORED CONTENT

Survey confirms mining spending and jobs contribution to Central West

R

esults from the NSW Minerals Council’s latest Member Expenditure Survey have confirmed mining has emerged as a strong and consistent

economic contributor to Central West.

In the last financial year, participating

mining companies supported over 5,500 jobs in the Central West. This is the fourth year in a row that mining jobs in the Central West have been near 5000 or more.

The same companies also directly injected $1.2 billion into the economy of the Central West in the last financial year the second highest level of spending since the survey was first undertaken in 2012 and the fourth year in a row that mining spending in the region has been at $1 billion or more annually.

The $1.2 billion of direct mining spending in the Central West last financial year included almost $460 million on wages and salaries and nearly $760 million for goods and services purchased from over 1,000 mining supplier

businesses across the Central West region.

Again, this is the fourth year in a row that the number of mining supplier businesses in the Central West region has been at around 1000 or more.

An economic analysis of these results found the $1.2 billion of direct spending of the 28 participating mining companies in the last financial year contributed 19.2% of the GRP of the Central West region’s economy during this period.

“Mining companies in the Central West are maintaining record levels of spending in the local region while supporting

ongoing record levels of Central West jobs, highlighting the importance of mining for local mining communities and the region’s economy,” NSW Minerals Council CEO Stephen Galilee said.

“Over the last four years mining has contributed around 20 percent or more of total economic activity of the Central West, demonstrating its ongoing importance to the region.”

“These very strong results are a timely reminder of the need for policies that support a strong mining sector for the future of the Central West.”

Building Disputes Building a new home can be exciting but also stressful. It can become challenging when there is a lack of communication between the builder and homeowner or between the homeowner and builder.

The building trade has not yet fully recovered from the covid period. Many building projects current at the time of covid shutdowns were put on hold and delayed and the catch-up period which has followed has created shortages in availability of builders and tradesman. The cost of building materials has also increased significantly since 2022 and supplies of building material have been delayed and are only in the last three months or so returning to normal.

During this period, both builders, tradesman and homeowners have been frustrated by delays, lack of material and ever-increasing cost. This has created a climate rife for potential disputes between builder and homeowners which can often be avoided or minimised by complying with the terms of most standard building contracts.

Steps to avoid a dispute Firstly, read and understand your building contract. The contract provides a framework within which the parties can and should communicate with one another on the following issues.

Variations Most contracts provide for a variation in price by the builder for prime cost and provisional sum items specified in the contract. Also, there may be a variation when the scope of works is changed usually at the request of the homeowner.

Either the homeowner or the builder may ask for a variation, but the agreed variation must be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the builder and the homeowner together with the predicted plus or minus cost adjustment.

Extensions of time The builder is entitled to reasonable extension of the building period due to variations in the building work, adverse weather, delays in getting approvals and a number of other grounds specified in the contract.

However, the builder is required to give the owner written notice of an entitlement to an extension of time detailing the cause of the delay and the proposed period of extension of time within ten days of becoming aware of both the cause and the extent of the delay.

Dispute resolution If there is a dispute between the builder and owner on the above or any other matter relating to the build, a standard contract has a dispute resolution clause whereby either the homeowner or the builder can give written notice to the other party setting out the matter in dispute and the parties must meet within ten working days to resolve the dispute or agree on methods of doing so. If agreement is reached, it must be written down and signed by both parties.

All too often these basic contractual responsibilities and rights of both parties are completely overlooked or ignored, often resulting in protracted litigation and expense.

John Carpenter To find out more about your rights under your building contract, contact John on 02 6393 9200 or email jcc@blackwellshort.com.au

Both parties should work within the terms of the contract and if in doubt as to their contractual and legal obligations, should seek advice from a Solicitor experienced in this area of work.

Please do not hesitate to approach Blackwell Short Lawyers for your legal requirements.

Memories by Ned

O

‘Strine’ as she are spoke

ver the years our language has changed, it has developed into different types of “speak”. As a small boy growing up in the 30s it was, “Hello, hello, so what have we here?” It is now full of “perpetrators”, and “helping with enquiries”.

My only brush with the law was when staying overnight at my friend’s home in town. That night my friends decided to roam the streets and wake up all the dogs (every house those days seemed to have a dog), we would make growling noises outside the front gate until the house mutt started barking; if we got a “Sit down, Rover!” that was extra points.

Unfortunately, we ran into the Constable doing his rounds, he told us: “I don’t like

small boys wandering about after dark… go home,” which we did. To have backchatted him would have invited a smart clip under the ears or the threat of a night in the cell with the town drunk.

We all liked the Constable, he came to the school and told us stories and gave us lectures. Later in life when he became a Sergeant, after a club meeting we would retire to the local hotel for a yarn and a beer (this was in the era of ten o’clock closing) the publican would close the bar and we would retire to a room out back to continue (I don’t know why he did it because there was a lot of yarning and not a lot of drinking). Our mate the Sergeant would take off his cap and join us for a beer and a yarn, wish us good night, and continue on his rounds. He was a good man and everyone liked him.

Another offshoot of our language is “polispeak” as practised by our politicians.

They have developed the ability to talk a lot and say nothing if confronted with a problem. Their way of solving it is to “form a committee.” It is easy to tell when they are telling porkies because their lips are moving.

I class my category in the reading world as a storyteller or, if you want to be fancy, a raconteur. My old teacher told me there are three unassailable principles in telling a story: Use the KISS principle (“Keep it simple, stupid.”)

Study your subject, get your facts right, and tell it without fear or favour.

the other hand”, “unofficial sources” and “statistics show.”

I guess the old adage “‘Dog bites man’ is not news, but ‘Man bites dog’ is news” still applies.

I must tell you of the two beautifully couture pedigree French poodles with their diamante collars meeting up with a mutt. Says one: “Oh, hello, we are pedigreed French poodles from Paris, France, my name is Mimi, spelled M I M I, and my companion is Fifi, spelled F I F I.” To which our mutt replied: “Pleased to meet ‘cha. I’m a Heinz from Wollongong, my name is Fido, spelled P H A E D E A U X.”

Had enough. Regards Ned

Lifesaving at Your Fingertips AED Now Available

24/7 in Orange CBD In a vital community update, an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) has been installed on the front wall of my office at 194a Lords Place, Orange, ensuring public access to this crucial lifesaving device around the clock. This initiative, inspired by a meeting with the original yellow Wiggle and Heart of the Nation CEO, Greg Page, aims to enhance the availability of AEDs in our community. I urge everyone to spread the word and to stay current with their first aid training, enhancing our collective preparedness to save lives.

Cheers, Phil.

THE CUMNOCK SHOW 2024: The Heart of the Central West

Last weekend, the Cumnock Show once again affirmed its status as a cornerstone of country shows in the Central West. It was a pleasure to mingle with the community, honour life memberships, and marvel at the exceptional local produce on display. And, of course, the lunch was a culinary highlight not to be missed!

Celebrating Local Women of the Year 2024 On the eve of International Women's Day last week, it was a privilege to celebrate Orange's Local Women of the Year, Paula Townsend, and her husband Wayne, at the NSW Women of the Year Awards Ceremony in Darling Harbour.

The event was a testament to the extraordinary achievements of women across the state.

Orange Chamber Music Festival

A Symphony of Talent and Taste

The town was alive with the sound of classical music last week, thanks to the Orange Chamber Music Festival. This four-day celebration brought together some of Australia's finest musicians, alongside international talent, offering a feast of events complemented by our local gastronomy and viniculture. A special moment was honouring Helen Miller during the Rising - International Women’s Day Event for her enduring leadership and significant contributions, including her role in this festival and the Orange Regional Art Foundation.

ORANGE RUNNERS FESTIVAL 2024 A Record-Breaking Weekend!

This year's Orange Runners Festival at Gosling Creek was nothing short of spectacular, with almost 2,400 participants lacing up for events ranging from a brisk 2km dash to the gruelling 42km marathon. Remarkably, over half of the runners journeyed from beyond the Orange 2800 postcode, showcasing the event's nationwide appeal and its significant boost to our local economy. Personally, I'm thrilled with my 10km run, clocking in at 55:37!

HISTORYTALKING

with HELEN MCANULTY

Letters Clancy didn’t get that letter because he was “droving down the Cooper,” but at least it reached his shearing mate who was able to write back “with a thumbnail dipped in tar.”

Nowadays in our world of phone and internet we can be constantly in touch with almost everyone no matter how near or far they may be. In our present “covert isolation” it has enabled people to work at home and to keep closely in touch with others in isolation.

Before the invention of the telephone it was quite a different matter.

Mailmen, and their city postmen counterparts, often went to unbelievable trouble to track down the recipient of the letters they were employed to deliver.

I had written him a letter which I had, for want of better knowledge, Sent to where I knew him, on the Lachlan years ago.

He was shearing when I knew him, and I sent the letter to him, Just on spec, addressed as follows, ‘Clancy of the Overflow.’ ~ A. B. Paterson

and provisions for the regulation of postal services, including the rates for postage, were made. In those far-off days the cost of postage was an enviable one penny.

The stamp was locally produced and depicted scenes of Sydney Harbour.

Before we could communicate by letter, though, we had to learn to write.

In those unenlightened days of our youth, children were all made to write with their right hand, the theory being that life would be easier for them in a predominantly right-handed world.

This was obviously no problem for Dick who became ambidextrous. “We learned to write properly using a slope card which was alright except that I couldn’t spell,” he said.

When the First Fleet sailed into Sydney Harbour those on board knew that there was only one way they would be able to make contact with England, and this was to send messages by ship.

Writing lessons were very structured, with drill in the way to sit and to hold a pen.

It took many months for a letter to reach its destination and often a reply would take as long.

Instructions sent by the British government to Governor Phillip would sometimes arrive a couple of years after the event, which must have been frustrating for all those concerned.

The ink, by the way, was a great source of pleasure to many children with a mischievous bent. It was contained in a little pot at the top of a shared desk and was handy for those sitting in the desk directly behind the girl with the long plaits.

She often found – to her distress – that the ends of her hair had turned blue!

Before 1810 there was no regular postal service in the colony, but on September 1 of that year, Governor Macquarie issued an order designating the house of one Isaac Nicholls as the first regular post office. Sixty-four years later the General Post Office was opened in Martin Place

Of course with all the care and time we were able to spend on our writing, most of us found that by the time we reached tertiary education and were forced to

Most of us learned to write using a pen with a nib dipped in ink.

“The ink could be messy,” said Pat, “but I think the nib made it easier to write properly.”

SPECIAL Thai Chicken Satay Skewers with Satay Peanut sauce, & sweet cucumber

take notes, our writing often became an indecipherable scribble.

If we wanted to send letters it was also necessary to know the correct way to express ourselves.

“Letter writing forced me to learn spelling and grammar,” Leslye told us.

“And I found out early that if I wanted to get letters I had to write them.”

Some of our group had pen pals from all over the world which – in the days before mobile phones, FaceTime, Facebook and texting – enabled people to get acquainted with those from other countries and cultures. These friendships were often fostered by papers and magazines.

John, who came to Australia with his family from England in the 1960s, wrote air letters back to his mother for quite a few years, telling her all about the new country. “I’ve regretted ever since that I gave my brother permission to throw them out after my mother died, as it was a great source of how we felt and what we did at that time.”

and determination to see that the mail got through, we had to hand it to a recent member of our group. His wife, told the story: “We were living on a property in Queensland in a very wet year during which we had 90 inches of rain. I had written all my letters and cards to absent friends just before Christmas and they were ready to be put in the mailbox for collection the next day. That night we had another 12 inches and woke to find we were marooned in an ocean of flood water.

“I was heavily pregnant and became quite hysterical at the thought of my mail not getting through. Desperate to calm me down, my husband – who was a strong swimmer – offered to swim out across the water to put them in the box.

“We wrapped them carefully in plastic and tied the package firmly at the top. He took it in his teeth to keep it from getting wet, and plunged into the muddy brown water to swim the three kilometres to the mailbox.

“My father-in-law wrote letters and kept a diary while he was on the Western Front in the First World War and it was in the most beautiful copperplate writing,” Joan told us.

“Because of the very strong current, he decided to go from tree to tree but, to his horror, found that each one was full of snakes seeking shelter, so he was forced to go back to the safety of the house.

We all agreed that without the letters written by our early settlers and our servicemen from the World Wars, history would be poorer. In fact, we wondered how much history will be recorded for posterity in emails and texts.

“The neighbours came to the rescue with a boat when the water had receded a little the next day. All the letters were delivered, but our friends told us later that they wondered why there were distinct tooth marks on the envelopes.”

But when it came down to sheer heroism

without her, I wouldn’t even be in the industry, to be honest with you. So it’s really to give back to her and help her; she does such a good job in the community and raising awareness for Huntington’s. So to be part of that, it’s a no-brainer.”

The concert will feature songs from Jarrod’s career, as well as a few numbers with meaning for the cause.

When asked what was so special about coming back to perform in Orange, he said it was the fondness he felt for his hometown.

A Concert for a Cause!

— By EMILY MIDDLETON —

A

one-night-only performance featuring the talents of Orangeborn Jarrod Draper is set to bring so much more to Orange than an evening of entertainment.

The special Concert for a Cause, sponsored by Curves Orange, will be raising funds and promoting the work of Huntington’s Disease Awareness Central West.

Jarrod Draper was the first Indigenous graduate from the prestigious music theatre course at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (WAAPA), and

most recently starred as Toulouse-Lautrec in the stage production of Moulin Rouge!

The Musical.

Growing up in Orange, Jarrod was taught music by Huntington’s Disease Awareness Central West’s founder Rachael Brooking. He says that without Rachael, he couldn’t be where he is today, and wanted to pay tribute in a way that gave back to Rachael and the community.

“I’ve always had a special connection with Rachael, and to be able to give back to her, I guess, it’s paying homage to where you started, and the people that got you to where you are,” Jarrod said.

“It’s always nice to go back to where it all started, a kind of homage to where you began. I have a very big fondness for Orange in terms of where I began, and the shows that I did, and the local theatre community that gave me the spark to continue on and make it a career,” Jarrod said.

It will be a special night also for Rachael Brooking, who couldn’t be more proud of how far Jarrod has come. She said she is looking forward to joining her former student on stage and showing him off to the community.

“It’s been lovely to have been his teacher at the very beginning, and to have watched him grow and to flourish into the

“I don’t really think he knows how talented he is, he’s a very humble man, and I am honoured to be able to accompany him for this concert.”

Rachael had high praise for Jarrod’s “magic” voice and encouraged people not to miss the chance to experience one of Orange’s incredible talents.

“He has the beautiful rich tones we associate with the likes of Josh Groban and Bryn Terfel and the smoothness of Michael Buble,” she said.

“If you love music, you will love this – we’re so grateful to Jarrod for being the voice for HD on this special occasion.”

The concert will take place at the Performing Arts Centre at James Sheahan High School, 6pm on Saturday, March 23.

While Jarrod is in town, he will also be hosting a musical storytelling workshop from 10.30am until 1.30pm at James Sheahan High School, on Saturday, March 23. The workshop is open for anyone 13 years and over. Registration is required on 123TIX.

A must for any garden

The genus Lavandula (common name Lavender) belongs to the Lamiaceae family. It is native to the Mediterranean and East Africa. There are up to 50 known species of Lavender and a staggering 400 varieties. The leaves range from green through to silver/grey with some being toothed and others smooth. The vast range of flowers include white, pinks, greens through to the deepest of blues. They are great bee attractants and other pollinators.

Lavendula dentata (French Lavender) is the plant you’ll most commonly see around Orange. Other species commonly spotted include Lavandula angustifolia (English or “True” Lavender) and Lavandula stoechas (Spanish or Italian Lavender) which has the cutest set of bracts at the top of the flower head that remind me of butterflies fluttering gently on a breeze.

Some recipe ideas: Blueberry cupcakes with lavender buttercream.

Make some cupcakes (or use a packet mix if time is short) and make a buttercream for icing. Mix some lavender flowers through the buttercream, saving some for a garnish. Delicious!

Lavenders begin flowering in mid spring, with many flowering well into autumn and winter. In fact, I have a Lavender in a pot that flowers year-round even during our sometimes, harsh winters. I regularly prune spent flowers and apply a good feed of fertiliser (twice a year) and keep watered during hotter months. Whilst lavenders can sometimes be fussy, if they are happy with their position, they can be long-lived. They abhor wet feet and heavy soils, so a free draining soil is a must. Once established they are drought and frost tolerant and are relatively pest and disease free.

Lavender is a perfect hedging plant for formal and informal gardens. It can be topiarised into various shapes and if you are diligent with your pruning, you can also standardise them into a small tree. It also looks stunning planted en masse.

Lavender syrup. This can be added to cocktails or cordials or drizzled over a variety of dishes. 2 cups of water, 3 cups of sugar and around 5-6 tablespoons of fresh lavender flowers. Add all to a saucepan and simmer until sugar has melted and the mixture is starting to thicken slightly (around 10-15 minutes).

Remove from the heat and allow to steep for a couple of hours. Drain out the lavender flowers, pour mixture couple of weeks.

Simple lavender water or oil. Add some lavender flowers to a spray bottle with water. Let steep for a couple of days and then use as a room spray or a spritzer. You can use any lavender flower in this as it is not for consumption.

Lavenders are toxic to animals but it is very rare that enough will be ingested to be of concern.

Rare display of movie musical memorabilia Calling all movie lovers! This March, Bathurst Library is hosting an exhibition of rare movie musical memorabilia spanning a period from the 1920s to the 1970s.

ORANGE PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT GROUP The March meeting of the group may be the last: at the February meeting it was suggested the group close due to the lack of attendance and support.

We are proud of what we have achieved over the 22 years. We believe that we have changed the thinking of many men who have been tested and therefore may have saved their lives.

Newly diagnosed men need comfort and answers after the shocking news, “You have prostate cancer” but we need people willing to lend their support.

We welcome all members of the public who may need help or information on prostate cancer.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, March 19, at Café Connect, meeting room 107 Prince Street, Orange, at 6pm.

For further information or assistance contact Charlie on 63611830.

The memorabilia is but a small part of the treasures held by Noel Cowan, a Bathurst resident who holds Australia’s largest collection of souvenir movie programs.

These magazine-sized booklets were once commonly sold at movie theatres or “picture palaces”, as they were once called.

From the Golden Years of Hollywood to the disco era. Titles include The Jazz Singer (1927) which was the first talking movie, to Grease (1978) starring Olivia Newton-John. Other titles include Moulin Rouge (1934) Hollywood Canteen (1944) South Pacific (1958) A Hard Day’s Night featuring the Beatles (1964) and the movie which helped popularise the disco craze, Saturday Night Fever (1977).

These programs were only printed for major movies and were on sale at theatres (called cinemas today) during each film’s first release city season in Australia, at such grand theatres in Sydney and Melbourne as The State, The St.James, The Mayfair, The Plaza, The Regent, and The Prince Edward.

“Souvenir movie programs contain wonderful snapshots of the stars and movie scenes with interesting stories about filmmaking processes, et cetera,” Noel explained.

On display at the Bathurst Library on Friday and Saturday, March 22-23, will be a large number of these very rare original souvenir movie programs.

Members of the public can view the covers (many of which have striking visuals) but due to their fragility will not be able to handle them.

This collection has never before been on public display in Australia, so don’t miss this opportunity.

SOUTHERN LIGHTS PUT ON A SHOW! — PHOTO COURTESY OF BRAD HODGE PHOTOGRAPHY Typically best seen as far south as possible, the Aurora Australis is not often visible in the Central West of NSW. But defying odds, Blayney photographer Brad Hodge caught the rare phenomenon on camera during the early hours of March 4.

Taken on his property just southeast of Orange, the Aurora Australis, commonly known as the Southern Lights, definitely put on a show for all that caught a glimpse.

Research says that the Southern Lights can be viewed all year round, though it is most commonly spotted during the cooler months.

How is the Aurora Australis formed?

According to the Australian Antarctic Program, the lights are formed when oxygen atoms and nitrogen molecules interact with a stream of charged particles emitted by the sun. This is called “solar wind”, and once it blasts from the sun, it connects with the earth’s magnetic field at very high speeds (400–700 kilometres per second).

Most of the particles in the solar wind hurtle back into space, but some become trapped and are accelerated towards the magnetic poles, once again very quickly (tens of thousands of kilometres per second).

When these particles collide with the earth’s atmosphere, the collision can be admitted as light, typically green, red or violet! But when it is seen as pink or white, it is often due to low light perception.

THUMBS EMAIL: reception@oclife.com.au | FACEBOOK: inbox “orangecitylife” | SMS 0459 022 084 this is a text only number standard SMS rates apply

THUMBS UP to the kind person who sent me a box of chocolates (through the OCL office) following my ‘thumbs down’ report about being hit and spat on by a group of school boys in the Orange City Centre a few weeks ago. Their thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated.

HUGE THUMBS UP to Orange City Rugby Club and McDonalds for the recent breakfast and footy drill session they ran at Bowen Public School.

It was evident that both organisations have a strong collaborative partnership. They generously donated their time and resources to put on a great community event that our students enjoyed while developing their rugby skills.

THUMBS UP to the “green bin” driver who collected our bins today. He made a mistake when emptying one of them (we have 2) and there was spillage on the road. He spent time manually cleaning up this and was very polite and considerate. Well done!

THUMBS DOWN to local government branches that had work done by a local tradie four months ago and have still not paid the account. The excuse is the person in charge is on holidays, but surely they don’t last four months? This puts a tradie in a very bad position as he has had to pay for material. Money owed is more than $3,000. I think that some trades will not do anything for government departments any more as they will go bankrupt.

A HUGE THUMBS UP to Webflow 24/7 Plumbing in Orange. I called them on Saturday afternoon with a plumbing problem. Flynn was there within 20 minutes. He located and rectified the issue in less than five minutes and wouldn’t accept any payment. I offered to pay several times but he didn’t take up my offer. Thanks for your brilliant and professional service.

THUMBS DOWN to inconsiderate neighbours with backyard firepits. Please be aware there are people in your neighbourhood who are very sensitive to smoke. We often become unwell and can struggle to breathe when the smoke seeps into houses, even when all windows and doors are closed.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for not cleaning footpaths of debris from trees causing people to trip and fall.

THUMBS UP to the lady sweeping up the debris on those footpaths in front of her house opposite Cook Park on Saturday morning.

BIG THUMBS UP and thank you to Kylie at StarChem who was extremely efficient, friendly, helpful and professional while explaining to me a new pain-relieving device/product. Kylie certainly went out of her way to show me how the device worked and explained all the important details to me! Thank you so very much, Kylie, on your exceptional service which was greatly appreciated!

THUMBS UP to Ahmed at Orange Chemist Warehouse. He’s always very helpful and knowledgeable.

THUMBS UP to Suli Sushi in Sale Street Orange. Outstanding food, service and value. Highly recommended!

THUMBS DOWN to a local produce business that previously could pride themselves on their customer service. Last two visits I have seen at least three staff behind the counter struggling to even make it to the register, never mind putting heavy bags in a woman’s car for them. Disappointing!

THUMBS UP to the Athletes Foot for their help and understanding over an awkward issue with a pair of joggers. Definitely a business with a strong and right customer focus.

THUMBS UP and thank you to Ophir Tavern for returning our mobile phone.

THUMBS UP to Origin Energy for drawing my attention to their Go Variable plan option. Will save me $100 per bill. Well worth investigating!

THUMBS UP and a sincere thank you to Daniel Crump for his sage advice regarding our superannuation fund transfer. We really appreciate your time and prompt responses, Dan, and heartily recommend your financial service. Many thanks!

THUMBS UP to a young lady who almost immediately stopped her car behind mine when I had engine failure and was stationary on the southbound side of the busy Mitchell Highway between Molong and Orange. She phoned the police for traffic control, while I phoned the NRMA, then she and my passenger, took control of the approaching traffic, while I did similar from the opposite end. Once the police arrived she drove off, but only to a curve in the highway, where she stopped and continued to warn traffic of the incident until a man wearing a SERVICE NSW Transport uniform relieved her. Her support, for the best part of an hour, no doubt made a major contribution to everyone’s safety. Thanks to all my helpers, but particularly Amy, the young lady.

THUMBS UP and a big thank you to Kim who does a brilliant job in the emergency department at Orange Health Service. Kim’s happy disposition and help with waiting patients were greatly appreciated.

THUMBS UP to the Orange Brass Band. I have just spent a delightful afternoon at Cook Park listening to them play and their choice of tunes was fun with lots of toe-tappers and inspiring marches.

Thanks to the band for their expertise and talent.

Makes you glad to be alive.

THUMBS UP to the Committee who organised the Central West Veterans Golf Classic. They gave up their own golf to ensure all their visitors had a great week. They started early, finished late and went out of their way to be helpful.

THUMBS UP for the great service at Officeworks this morning and thank you to Steven who helped me so patiently and efficiently, what a thoroughly lovely young man!

WHY CELEBRATE EASTER?

BY KARINA BLANCH

CROSS purposes

The remembrance of famous dead people is common in our culture. Elvis Presley festivals attract thousands of pilgrims around the world each year. Hollywood Boulevard pavements memorialise exceptional actors from the past.

Others who have contributed in the areas of sport or scientific achievement are honoured in history books.

Some may think that the Easter celebration is no more than remembering an exceptionally moral (dead) man who serves as an example for humankind. The vast difference between the story of other famous dead people and Jesus, is that Jesus didn’t stay dead.

History shows that three days later, the tomb in which he was placed was found to be empty.

The promise he made before his death had come true, and the implications were (and continue to be) revolutionary. His resurrection is proof that the one who could defy the laws of nature is God himself and the claims he made about himself have substance.

Christians have every reason to celebrate Easter. Not just in honouring a famous dead man, but remembering the one raised as the ruler of the world and of our lives.

Why not pick up The Bible this Easter and check it out?
