Finding the truth in the shades of grey — JONATHAN ROE —

Amateur historian and tour guide Craig Lawler reckons the real gold to be found in the Central West is in our past.

Come all of you Lachlan men and a sorrowful tale I’ll tell, Concerning of a bushranger who to misfortune fell.

His name it was Ben Hall, and a man of high renown, Who was taken from his homestead and like a dog shot down.”

So rings the opening bars of the Australian folk ballad The Streets of Forbes, the popular song telling of the death of one of Australia’s most well-known bushrangers.

This is the version of the story that most Australians might know, but like anything else when you dig a little deeper, things become less black and white, a lot more complicated and certainly a lot more interesting.

“I feel I’ve got to correct the record,” says Craig Lawler, standing in Canowindra’s main street, the location of many exploits attributed to the bushranger gang of Frank Gardiner, Johnny Gilbert, Ben Hall and accomplices.

Craig, a natural storyteller with an incredibly detailed knowledge of Australian colonial history, is the founder and operator of Blind Freddy’s Bushranger Tours.

A journalist, teacher and former rock band roadie, Craig left Sydney for the small Central West village of Gooloogong in 2006 where he became fascinated with the history on his doorstep.

“I started researching about these stories and realised they were an absolute goldmine of great Australian colonial history,” says Craig.

“Our ‘Wild West’ in Australia is here in the Central West of NSW. And these stories are rich! They are fantastic stories, interesting characters, interesting times — the country transitioned from a penal colony to a society it is an interesting time and Canowindra is right in the thick of it.”

After devouring books on the topic such as Frank Clune’s Wild Colonial Boys, Craig started more detailed research, made possible thanks to the National Library of Australia’s vast, publicly available resource: the Trove Newspaper Archive.

6 MARCH 4 — 10, 2021

“With the newspaper archives so easily available and word searchable and date searchable and the ease of access, it means I’m able to test all these stories,” says Craig, who quickly found that the popular depictions of Ben Hall don’t always fit with the historical record.

“Some of the stories make sense and some of them don’t make sense, but the deification of Ben is a cultural phenomenon rather than a historic one,” says Craig.

“He is a powerful cultural figure and I see the power of these things… and I’m of that political stripe myself, I like rebellious figures, but for me to tell these stories properly I have to bring it back to first principles, so to speak, and look at what actually happened at the time through as many primary resources as I can…

...People are very keen to ascribe all the romantic heroic aspects of the bushrangers of the period to Ben Hall when it’s not really his mantle to take.. .

“People are very keen to ascribe all the romantic heroic aspects of the bushrangers of the period to Ben Hall when it’s not really his mantle to take. Ben is part of the gang, he’s there and his story is interesting and I don’t mean to demean him, but in order to tell the story truthfully I have to point out he is not the leader of the gang, he is not always heroic, he is not always a nice guy, he’s not always a tempering influence on the rest of the gang and he never killed anyone because he’s a s--t shot!”

Too often Australian history is presented in a cartoonish, twodimensional way, says Craig, when the real story is invariably more nuanced and more interesting.

And with a figure like Ben Hall looming so large in our cultural consciousness it means other characters in the story get less attention than they deserve, such as Frank Gardiner, Johnny Gilbert and the oft-maligned Sir Fredrick Pottinger — the disgraced baronet who doggedly pursued Gardiner and Hall’s gang without success.

“The shades of grey are far more interesting to me and I think it does these people a disservice on the whole to not give everyone a fair shake,” says Craig, whose affection for some of the characters in his stories comes through in the telling.

“Within these stories Pottinger is a rouge, Gardiner is a rouge, Ben Hall is a Rogue, Gilbert is a rogue — they are all villainous! There are no heroes in these stories really, that’s why I find them interesting characters… Gardiner and Pottinger are my favourite characters, because their lives are the most interesting. They provide me with the fodder to tell stories and that’s what I’m doing — I’m a storyteller. I just like to know what happened and convey that to people with a sense of entertainment, but also accuracy.”

Craig established Blind Freddy’s Bushranger Historical Tours eight years ago, and today offers short walking tours in Canowindra to fullday explorations of the major bushranger sites in the district.

He’s also about to release his own historical podcast under the Blind Freddy brand.

“I think we don’t make as much as we perhaps should about our colonial history in NSW and certainly in this part of the world,” says Craig.

“I’m glad I do what I do. I really love it as you can probably tell. And I think it’s good to be able to tell these stories in the places where they happened — not many people do that and it is a unique experience.

You come on these tours and go to the actual places where the actual events happened… and you get to hear someone bang on at you about what actually happened!”

LIFE WITHOUT FACEBOOK ETC. I’ve never been on Facebook, Twitter or any other social media platform, I’ve never really felt the plusses outweighed the minuses enough.

That said, our business has various social media accounts, mainly because “you just have to have them” these days. Thankfully, I have nothing to do with them and my staff operate them for us.

Be that as it may, I’ve decided to cancel all our social media accounts and live life without Facebook etc. Fortunately, we still have the freedom to make choices like this and despite the fact that “you just have to have it”, I for one, don’t want it and because I’m the boss and I can choose that option.

My reasons for taking this step are numerous, but the main one is I see too many people using social media for nasty purposes. Over the years I’ve heard of many people being badly treated on social media, some even castigated unreasonably, I myself have been misrepresented at times when people don’t get their own way and then take it out on me publicly over social media. I have friends who have been subjected to unfair, unreasonable and untrue claims about them for a couple of years now, and all for reasons that have nothing to do with them personally, there’s just someone out there that had their toys taken away from them and for some reason, decided my friends were responsible and their attacks on social media have been relentless. The claims have been savage, incorrect and downright cruel. The worse thing however, is victims can’t do much about it unless they want to engage in expensive legal action, which in today’s world can’t promise justice anyway. We’ve all heard stories about people who have been victims like

this. One problem is that it is so easy to use part truths or put things out of context to make a case. We all know there’s usually two sides to every story and unless you get both sides, it’s impossible to make a fair judgement. People who use social media in this way, well I just have no respect for them whatsoever.

I feel the same way when I see many of the social media comments against news stories. People are fully entitled to their opinion and when put in a fair, reasonable and respectful manner, that’s probably OK, but many comments are just downright spiteful. I don’t want to encourage that sort of behaviour or comments.

My understanding is that Facebook started with noble intentions and for noble purposes, but like so many things, it has evolved to the point now where it is used for many reasons other than those at the beginning, and the plusses have since been outweighed by the minuses. Clearly money and profits are now a priority for companies like these. That’s a shame, I can only imagine the good someone could do if they had a heart for doing good and had that much power and influence to work with, I wish I did.

The world is moving at a very rapid pace, especially with technology.

For me, and at my age, I’m happy to leave it younger people to run at that pace.

We are also making changes now to just have our Orange City Life website carry our publications in full online each week. On there, you find full digital copies of Orange City Life, Newswatch and Orange Property Market.

I’m looking forward to life without having to worry about using Facebook.

World- Leading Daughters and Dads Program enjoyed in Orange

C

— MELISE DAVIS — entral West girls and their dads are enjoying the opportunity to participate in a program that aims to give them the skills and confidence to play sport.

The award-winning Daughters and Dads Active and Empowered program, delivered by the University of Newcastle, in partnership with the NSW Government and Orange City Council, targets fathers as the agents of change to improve girls’ sports skills and wellbeing.

The program was rolled out State-wide as part of the NSW Government’s women in sport strategy, ‘Her Sport Her Way.’ The inaugural program held in 2019 was a major success, this year seems no different, with a great roll up and full room on their opening week.

Participant Matt Gamble was eager to join the program after his wife found the information

online. He and his six-year-old daughter Sophie have enjoyed the program and encourage Dad’s out there to get involved.

“Sophie really looks forward to it every week, she is engaged the whole time” said Matt. “I initially just wanted to do more stuff with Sophie.

It’s a really fun program, and it is physical based, so the Fathers get exercise as well which I probably wouldn’t normally get.”

The free program consists of eight sessions over eight weeks throughout Term 1, featuring educational and practical sessions involving rough and tumble play, sport, and fundamental movement skills.

“They’ve already taught us things on how better to engage with your daughter, and to do something with your daughter everyday even if it’s only for 10 minutes,” said Matt.

Sophie mentioned her favourite activities have

included basketball, soccer, thumb wrestling and.. surfing Dad! “I like standing on Dad’s back,” Sophie giggled.

“And I know his favourite movie now!”

Matt continued, “They really show you how to break down the barriers of girls being ‘girls’ and being stereotyped into ‘they only play with dolls’, which is why its sports based, its proving girls can do it too. It’s just different, there’s nothing else out there unless you are getting involved in your kids sport.

“I love seeing the smile on her face, she’s excited to do it. They give you a booklet that you have to do during the week with activities in it and she doesn’t whinge about having to do it, she gets stuck into it and loves it.. which is different to her homework,” laughed Matt.

skills, confidence, self-esteem and resilience.

Orange Mayor, Reg Kidd lauded the program as a great initiative and gave it his full support.

“It’s great programs such as these are being brought out to regional areas to benefit country communities. It is important for local fathers and daughters to be given the opportunity to have these experiences together.”

Through the educational and practical sessions, the program helps to improve the girls sport

SCIENCE FICTION THRILLER WITH TIES TO THE COLOUR CITY — JONATHAN ROE —

The barren, dystopian world of the new science fiction thriller 2067 is a far cry from the tree-lined streets of Orange, but the Aussie independent film attracting worldwide attention does have a local connection.

Netflix charts.

In the last two years, film production and distribution company Arcadia has made Orange home, and recently they’ve taken over a large warehouse space on Endsleigh Avenue with big plans for the future.

2067 is the first cinema release for the production company and one that has surprised everybody with its success.

Set in the year 2067, Earth has been ravaged by climate change and humanity is forced to live on artificial oxygen. A mysterious illness is slowly killing the worlds’ population and the only hope for a cure comes in the form of a message from the future.

“It’s been Amazing!” said Arcadia’s founding partner Alex Burke. “In the US the film was released in October and it went straight to Number 3 on iTunes and across digital platforms! And this is when cinemas had been closed because of COVID and you’re premiering films online, so to be online and Number 3 in the US Charts was pretty mind blowing and completely unexpected!”

“Arcadia is really growing,” said Bec. “Three years ago, we moved out to the Central West and during that time we shot 2067, I worked on all the post-production from Orange and now we’ve shot our next film which we just finished in Canberra… so one film released, another in post-production and a whole lineup of films international films that Alex is distributing!”

Look what’s cooking at Diggers!

“We are trying to bring more families into the club and just trying to please more people really.”

Building a brand-new menu from scratch is no small task, said Danny, who is exciting to be finally serving it up to customers this week.

“It is exciting and nerve wracking at the same time,” said Danny. “It’s a huge job, not just for me, but everyone involved… from the planning, coming up with the concepts, coming up with costings, getting everyone on board — It is all well and good for me to have something in my head, but then I’ve got to be able to show 20 people how to put it on the plate, then serving Club A5 flyer.pdf to the customersNooters and making sure every plate1 that leaves the kitchen is 100 percent the way the management and everyone else wants it and making sure it is all on point… It’s been a challenge, but a good problem to have!

range Ex-Services Club’s new Executive Chef Danny Evans has been busy in the kitchen!

Starting at the Greenhouse of Orange three years ago, Danny has worked his way up through the kitchen rank and was appointed the Club’s Executive Chef three months ago.

In that time, he has overseen some major changes to the Club’s culinary offerings, revamping the menus of the Greenhouse and coffee shop.

This week saw Danny and his team launch a

brand-new menu in the Diggers restaurant, with a mix of old and new favourites sure to please all tastes.

“The Digger’s Menu is not a whole new concept but just different to what we have been doing in the past,” said Danny.

Vets corner with MULBERRY Paws up! Who loves a good pat with their pet? Cats and dogs love a cuddle with their humans – a belly rub or a good scratch behind the ears will make your pet’s day! But what happens if you suddenly find a lump or bump on your pet’s skin?

Discovering a lump on your pet can be scary - is it something to worry about? Only a few lumps are reason for serious concern, but it is important to get them checked promptly. Our experienced vets have seen countless lumps and bumps over the years, so will assess the size, shape and appearance of a lump and where it is located, before deciding if further testing is necessary.

Many lumps are harmless fatty tumours – pets can develop these as they age. Other reasons for a lump on your pet could be an abscess, a parasite, infection, an allergic reaction and a very small number of lumps might be malignant. This month at Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital, your pet can have a FREE “lumps and bumps” check up with one of our experienced vets, to keep your pet comfortable and give you peace of mind.

Can cats catch AIDS? Yes! A feline virus which doesn’t pass on to humans, but passes from cat to cat by fights and scratches.

Your cat needs an annual injection to protect him or her from Cat flu and Feline enteritis, particularly if going to a cattery. But, if your cat spends time outdoors, they should also be protected by a Feline Aids Virus (FIV) vaccination. Even the mildest of moggies can become a bit aggressive when trying to shoo another cat out of “their” garden, so all outdoor cats are at risk of catching 10 MARCH 4 — 10, 2021

“And it has been a very rewardingand really pleasant experience so far; the club are a great bunch to work for!”

“We have a whole new steak section, so a lot more grill options, and we’re going back to a lot more of the classic kind of meals — your bangers and mash and lambs fry and bacon —then having really exciting dishes on the menu like the barbecue ribs and big, beef burgers with onion rings and smoky barbecue sauce!

So what is it that really catches Danny’s eye on the new menu?

“I’m really excited about bringing back some of the old classics like your bangers and mash

and all that stuff, but one of the dishes I’m most excited about is the pork steam buns, which is a starter of little bao steamed bun, hoisin sauce, crispy pork belly, some shallots and cucumber...

I’m really excited for that one because it is something they haven’t done here before,” 21/01/13 3:37 PM he said.

Given the reaction to menu photos shared around our office, the Surf & Turf and Surf & Chirp also look likely to become crowd favourites.

“Some diners come in and they don’t want to eat a big red meat meal, so we’ve done a play on our Surf & Turf with chargrilled chicken and then all the seafood —prawns, squid and Balmain Bug in a garlic sauce. When it comes out to the customer it has that big Balmain Bug right on top, so it’s a bit of a head turner!”

and spreading FIV. 1 in 5 cats in New South Wales carry the virus! The virus attacks the immune system and can cause cats to have tiredness, loss of appetite and secondary infections such as severe dental disease. Luckily, there is a vaccine to protect your cat if he or she goes outside. If your cat is over 6 months old, they will need a test for FIV. If negative, he or she can then be protected by a course of 3 vaccinations, then an annual booster. If your kitten is less than 6 months old he or she doesn’t need a test first.

This month’s special offer gives you the chance to have your cat tested for FIV and start a course of 3 vaccinations, to keep him or her safe and healthy outdoors.

Heartworm is passed on by the bite of an infected mosquito. Tiny larvae are injected into your dog’s skin and can grow into adult worms in the heart and lungs. It used to be found only in warmer parts of Australia, but new research has shown Heartworm is now in every state and in the Central West too. The parasite has been found in dogs and in foxes locally – just one bite from an infected mosquito puts your dog, in Orange, in danger.

Dogs can be protected from Heartworm by a convenient annual injection or by chews, tablets or “spot on” treatments. This month your puppy can have their first heartworm prevention injection for FREE. This wonderful offer gives your pup essential protection as he or she starts to explore outdoors. Another Heartworm injection will be required at 6 months, at 15 months and then annually after that to give life-long protection.

We will provide convenient reminders for all your pet’s injections, as well as advice on all aspects of pet care.

Edna, who turned 90 years of age last week, has been playing tennis her entire life and has no plans of stopping anytime soon.

Watching her in action on the courts on Thursday, Edna could be seen running to the net for drop shots like someone decades her junior and we bet, with her years of experience, she would prove a tough match for many a young player.

Family, friends, and tennis partners celebrated Edna’s birthday with a morning tea (following a bit of tennis of course!) at the Orange Ex-Services Club courts at Wade Park.

New look for John Cook Real Estate as agency celebrates 25 years — JONATHAN ROE —

John Cook Real Estate have marked their 25-year milestone in business with and new look logo and branding.

Founded in 1995 by John Cook, the agency is proudly local, independent and family owned.

“It has always been a family thing with us,” said Anthony Cook, who owns the business today along with his wife Jane.

“Dad started it in a little shop in Sale Street, he was actually the assistant clerk at the Court house before then, but he’d had enough of that and decided to get into real estate. And it is a real family business, where every member of our family has worked here at some point — so whether it’s my brother, my sister, Mum even she had a stint here when we were short on people on the front desk. Now Jane does the property management, I look after the sales and my sister does all our office management and it’s all worked really well.”

Anthony, who is a builder by trade, joined his father in the business in 1998. Leaving to spend a few years in the Sydney real estate game, Anthony returned to the agency, he and Jane becoming partners in 2009 and buying the business outright when John Cook retired in 2015.

“It’s just gone from strength to strength,” said Anthony.

“Orange is just such a good town, we are very blessed to be here I reckon. I just love it! It has got everything and that is why people are coming here.”

14 MARCH 4 — 10, 2021

After 25 years, Anthony said it was a little hard to let go of the logo that had been the iconic look of the agency for such a long time, but it was time.

“I liked the old logo. It had been with us since the start, but I suppose we wanted to get something that was fresh and freshen everything up,” said Anthony.

With a nod to the original colour palette, the new logo is about symbolising their growth as a business into the future.

“We wanted something that showed who we are: we are a country town, we are the ‘Colour City,’ and we are growing as a business — that’s what the tree is all about,” said Anthony.

It’s no secret the real estate market in Orange is booming at the moment and Anthony is looking to grow the team at John Cook Real Estate.

Given Orange’s diverse economic base and enviable country lifestyle, he believes there’s plenty of growth in the city’s future.

“I can’t see Orange going backwards anytime soon. We had a pandemic and that didn’t stop it!” he said.

“It is just such a strong community; you have health sector and tourism — people love coming here! More and more people over the other side of the mountains are starting to notice these country areas and Orange looks pretty good!

To celebrate their 25th anniversary in business John Cook Real Estate are giving away $1000 in local shopping

vouchers. To enter, simply send an email to iwannawin@ johncook.com.au “The first prize is $500, second prize is $300 and third prize is $200,” said Anthony. “And that is a voucher for any local business.

You can walk into any local business and tell them what it is, and it will be covered by us.”

Cadia’s garden gift blossoms at domestic violence centre — MELISE DAVIS — Newcrest’s Cadia Valley Operations has continued its support of Housing Plus’ Domestic Violence Crisis Centre conducting a Garden Blitz to create a community garden space within the facility.

A team of thirty Cadia employees volunteered to overhaul a section of the Centre, creating a tranquil garden space featuring an Indigenous yarning circle, and a raised vegetable garden for the residents to enjoy. Cadia engaged with the Orange Aboriginal Land Council to design the Indigenous garden and yarning circle.

The yarning circle is incorporated into the body of a platypus, with three paths representing the three rivers which forms Wiradjuri Country, the land in which the garden is built on. Cadia's General Manager, Aaron Brannigan said the garden would prove to be a valuable asset for clients at The Orchard. “We are really proud to continue our ongoing support of The Orchard, and we hope the garden our workforce has created, will provide a positive and peaceful space for clients at the facility.”

“Our team are extremely passionate about helping the community and collectively spent over 166 hours on bringing this project to life,” said Aaron.

Housing Plus’ Head of Community Services, Penny Dordoy added, “The Cadia team have developed a garden that brings The Orchard to life and will delight our clients.”

“We are so thrilled to be able to welcome clients and show them the garden that they can use, learn from, play in and enjoy. We can’t thank all the volunteers and organisers from Cadia enough for their time, effort and passion for the project.”

A planting day is planned for later this year when the Cadia team will return to plant additional trees and shrubs, along with Indigenous plants in the head and tail of the platypus. Newcrest’s latest project is one of the many ways it has shown support for the new domestic violence crisis centre to ensure the facility would be ready for the community in 2021.

In 2017, Cadia provided a $75,000 donation towards the fundraising efforts for The Orchard, and last year, when Housing Plus had to cancel the White Tie Ball due to COVID-19 restrictions, Newcrest provided a further $75,000 to ensure the crisis centre could be completed and open.

Blayney to host communications Information Forum — MELISE DAVIS —

R

egional Development Australia Central West (RDA Central West) will partner with the Central NSW Joint Organisation of Councils (Central NSW JO) to deliver a Communications Information Forum in Blayney on Thursday, 11 March 2021.

Some of the major telecommunications providers including Telstra, Optus, NBN, Aussie Broadband and Wi-Sky, will feature at the forum that is open to local businesses and community members from across the region.

The forum will see the communication representatives take part in an open display followed by a live panel and Q&A session moderated by RDA Central West with time for networking at the conclusion of the event.

The major service providers will give updates and information surrounding connectivity and coverage in regional areas so attendees can walk away with a better understanding of their needs and mostly importantly, the options available in the Central West.

RDA Central West CEO, Sam Harma said the forum is an outstanding opportunity for local businesses and members of the community to hear directly from industry leaders.

The Regional Tech Hub will also be involved at the forum and was recently established by the Australian Government to provide independent advice to regional communities on technology solutions to support their needs.

“Every customer’s needs and options are different,

but the common factor is reliability, and this is vital for those living and working in regional areas,” said Mr Harma.

partnership working in collaboration to advocate for better communications infrastructure across the region.

“The forum is a chance to find out more about the barriers we often face, but also the different options, including low-cost options; we have to overcome these challenges and boost coverage, speed, data and in turn – profitability and efficiency.

“Technology is moving at such a fast pace of change and this forum is an essential part of our plan to bring local concerns to key decision makers and provide access to the most up to date information to the communities we represent.”

“There have also been some big announcements recently around communications for our region, including NBN’s Business Fibre Zones in Orange and Bathurst, so I encourage anyone interested to come and find out what initiatives like this could mean for your business and our region overall.”

The Communications Information Forum will be held from 12:30pm to 2pm.

THE COVID-19 VACCINE IS HERE!

RUNS ON THE BOARD FOR ORANGE

Last week, residents in aged care facilities in Orange were the first to receive the COVID-19 Pfizer vaccine.

We are now into the second week of Phase 1A of the vaccine rollout which targets our communities’ most vulnerable, including: • Priority quarantine & border workers • Priority frontline health care workers • Aged care and disability care staff • Aged care and disability care residents.

√ $29.8 million for the Dixons Long Point Crossing development √ $22 million for the CSU medical school √ $3.454 million for a new four-lane bridge and road upgrades over the Orange to Dubbo railway line √ $19 million for the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health √ $2 million for the Forest Road Bridge duplication √ $18 million for a world-class health research facility √ $650,000 for a new hall at Orange Christian School √ $14.7 million for Mission Australia’s Benjamin Short Grove Aged Care facility √ $100,000 for new stadium seating at Wade Park √ $3 million for a second radiotherapy unit at Orange Health Service √ $15,000 for a new hydrotherapy spa at Anson Street School √ $1.42 million for an upgrade of Clergate Road √ $8,000,000 for an investigation of fast rail from Syd Parkes √ $2,000,000 for Stage 4 of Southern Feeder Road project √ $1,243,593 for new contemporary and flexible learning spaces at St Mary’s Catholic School

Andrew at Ascott Gardens in Orange for the rollout of the COVID vaccine last week.

The first doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine have also arrived from overseas ahead of 50 million doses to be manufactured by CSL here in Australia.

We will now be able to scale up the vaccination rollout to our priority groups.

While some logistical challenges are to be expected in the biggest peace time endeavour in the history of our nation, the Australian Government is confident that it can deliver this massive program in a safe and effective way.

The arrival of the vaccine is the beginning of the end of this pandemic. It gives us hope and confidence that our lives and our economy will slowly return to normal.

I would encourage everyone to get a jab.

When my turn in the queue comes, I will certainly be getting one!

THE CENTRAL WEST’S VERY OWN RURAL YOUTH AMBASSADORS Last week I met with the 2020 Rural Youth Ambassadors at Parliament House to discuss their ideas on regional education and their experiences throughout the Rural Inspire Program.

The Central West was represented by two passionate young rural leaders, Logan Scriver and Claire Wright.

The Rural Inspire Program aims to raise the aspirations and career goals of country students by exploring and developing strategies and initiatives to address specific issues to rural and remote communities.

Each and every student deserves access to a world-class education and learning opportunities – and that’s exactly what this program is about.

Find out more about the Rural Inspire program and what our Rural Youth Ambassadors got up to in Canberra here: https://ruralinspire.org.au/2021/02/25/canberra-day-1/

What a wonderful contribution to our region. I was so pleased that the Australian Government was able to assist with a grant under the Stronger Communities Program.

The legendary Ian ‘Macca’ McNamara from the ABC was there to do the unveiling with Alf and Sharon, and I’m quite sure A.B. would have been very humbled by the whole day.

Andrew with 2020 Rural Youth Ambassadors, Claire Wright from Canowindra and Logan Scriver from Gulgong.

ACKNOWLEDGING OUR SES It was an honour to pay tribute in the Parliament last week to the men and women who serve in our State Emergency Services.

Here is an extract from my speech: The New South Wales SES never takes a break.

It’s always there on the ground, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, keeping our community safe. On 30 January this year I attended a special awards ceremony in Orange to recognise the invaluable contribution and long service of many SES units and volunteers from across the region. Ceremonies were also held in Mudgee and Bathurst.

On behalf of the communities of Calare, I would like to acknowledge those who were honoured at those recent ceremonies….From the Canobolas cluster, there was Mareea Agustin, Jeanette Bowd, Grant Hill, James Maclean, William Rollo, Alfred Dukes, Letitia Neville, Robert Stevens, Gregory Agustin, Anne-Marie Stevens, Peter Barnes, Henry Hoswell, Robert O’Neill, John Agustin, Desmond Cassidy, Dallas Pearce and Douglas Watson.

Today this Chamber recognises the selflessness and the dedication to community to ensure that we are safe and can get through these emergencies. We say congratulations to all of those award recipients and to all members of the SES for all of the wonderful work that they do

in our communities in keeping our communities safe all year round. It’s not just the emergencies when they’re out on calls; it’s training all year round, supporting community events and supporting our communities. They are part of the very fabric of our country communities. We thank the SES for everything that they have done for us.

PRESENTATION

I presented a NSW State flag to the Forbes Men’s Shed during the visit from NSW Governor, Margaret Beazley AC QC. It was great to tour the facility once again and to see it’s almost complete.

Judi Unger of Peak Hill and Margaret Haddin of Parkes were inducted into the 2020 Hidden Treasures honour roll. It was fantastic to formally recognise them for their selfless devotion to community. I’ve known these ladies for quite a while now, and I know just how much they give and how much they mean to the community.

HEALTH SERVICES UNION

The members of the Forbes Men’s Shed were true gentlemen and honoured the Governor with a guard of honour as she departed.

mr perfect IN PARLIAMENT

I recently met with Terry Cornick in the NSW Parliament, the founder of the men’s mental health charity ‘Mr Perfect’.

Terry’s own personal challenges are what led him to the development of this grass roots initiative, which aims to assist in preventing mental health issues before they develop into a crisis.

Horse Camp

My upper house colleague, Mark Banasiak MLC and I accepted an invitation to join a few of my Canowindra constituents at the Cooinbil Horse Camp in the Kosciusko National Park (KNP).

Brumbies were clearly a tourist attraction for many of the visitors passing through the park.

Forbes Soccer

I applaud Terry for his courage in sharing his personal story and for doing something to help others. I fully support this initiave and look forward to having a chat at the upcoming BBQ.

Our crew were a real laugh and the trip was lots of fun.

Congratulations to the Forbes and District Soccer Club on their successful grant.

I was pleased to officially announce their application for $13,300 funding towards a female player development program and for the upgrade of the facilities to include a new first aid and injury recover room.

This week I’ve toured the Orange electorate with my college Roy Butler MP, Member for Barwon visiting some of our local business within our electorate while highlighting our amazing, lifestyle, agricultural, cultural and tourism appeal. Ive said it before and ill say it again, what an amazing place we live in.

A PSYCHOLOGIST, AT ANY HOUR OF THE DAY

I’m hearing more and more that people are having difficulty accessing psychological counselling services in rural and regional communities and that many people don’t want a face-toface meeting because they’re to embarrassed, intimiated, it’s too confronting or simply it’s just too inconvenient.

The virtual psychologist is Australia’s first text counselling service delivered by qualified mental health professionals. They offer a select range of text based psychological and counselling support services to individuals and those in the corporate, rural and remote settings and my colleague Roy Bulter, the Member for Barwon, has received positive feedback from people who have used this

service from the electorate.

It can be accessed 24 hours a day and upon their receipt of your text message, a registered psychologist will respond within minutes. You can remain anonymous and it’s a free service to people in rural and regional communities.

Memories

by Ned They say youth is wasted on the young, RUBBISH mine was a blast.

Home from school, I walked in the door and I heard raised voices, Mum saw my concern and said “It’s OK it’s only the Parson and Grandpa at it again.” Grandpa’s theory was that it was possible for anyone to be a Grade 1 Christian and not set foot inside a church, the Parson of course disagreed. I think the Parson used to wind Grandpa up for the fun of a good argument. They were great mates.

I liked the Parson. He was a man’s man and never talked down to me but as an equal. He was universally liked in the area and was welcomed everywhere for a cuppa and a chat.

He did the rounds of his parish

on his motor bike and some of the boys called him the “The Revving Reverend”.

We were not a particularly religious family but church on Sunday was part of living. It was just the done thing and services were held in our small country church.

At this time Mum decided I should learn piano. As a muso I was way down on the scale and would never become a pianist of note. However, I battled along but I was never keyed up over it.

One afternoon the Parson asked me if I could play a couple of easy

hymns on the little pump organ in the church. I had a go and it worked.

We were all given a good talking to. Dad lined me up to give me my dose in front of everyone and then a strange thing happened, before starting he tipped me a wink.

THE ‘DAD & DAVE’ EXHIBITION

The artwork of Orange Art Society president David Mason and his late father Tony Mason will be on display this month in a very special Featured Artist exhibition.

Tony Mason started painting late in life as a hobby. He found oil painting was his preferred medium, but as his experience broadened, he moved into watercolours. His favourite subjects were seascapes and landscapes.

As time went on, he became a professional artist and joined a group called Six on the Turps with Greg Turner, Annemarie Ingham, Elaine Mortimer, Eris Fleming and Loretta Blake. Together this group held exhibitions locally as well as interstate.

“Dad liked to pass on his knowledge and would regularly give people demonstrations and help at the local art group” said son, David Mason. “If you were willing to listen, he would be more than happy to help.”

Tony also tutored at Mitchell College and various other places in New South Wales. He was President of the Orange Art Society for several years and tried to get a better acceptance for art in the local area.

“He often asked me to have a go at painting but unfortunately, I did not do this until after his death,” said David.

“I enjoy passing on knowledge to other artists and I do this by giving lessons (like father like son). I enjoy my art as it is way of relaxing and I am forever learning more about this craft. One of my biggest joys is passing this on to my students.” said David.

“I am intrigued by the way light falls on an object and I am striving to achieve that effect in my paintings. I like to create something that people can get involved in and I really like it when people feel the same thing as me.”

David has accrued accolades for his work including a first prize in a portrait contest, a first for an animal portrait, a first for a landscape and several highly commended awards.

The Dad & Dave Exhibition will open on Monday, 8 March 2021 at the Orange Art Society Gallery in Sale Street (entry located at the rear of the Woolworth’s carpark near Harris Farm). Everyone is welcome and are encouraged to come along on Saturday 20 March at 2pm for a ‘Meet & Greet’ with David.

“I had an interest in art from a young age, but I only did cartoons until later in life when I did eventually give painting a go. Part of my motivation was to fulfil a wish my dad had for me to start painting.”

If the doors are open and the flag is out, the Gallery is open. Everyone is welcome to come in and browse, have a chat to members and to purchase any works that catch your attention.

David started painting with oil paints but soon realised that he needed more brush mileage to improve so, he changed to acrylic. This enabled David to do more paintings in the same amount of time. He soon realised that his favourite subjects were portraits of animals and people, but David is happy with any subject.

For more information about the Orange Art Society, becoming a member, participating in the upcoming workshops or joining one of the many art groups, you can email the Society orangeartsocietyinc@gmail.com, follow them on Facebook and Instagram or give David Mason a call on 0407 627 092.

There are a lot of people that have recently discovered how much Orange has to offer in terms of exceptional wine, great cellar doors and of course beautiful countryside. It really is an exciting time to be a wine producer in the region and for our cellar door to be known as Orange’s best.”

BIG THUMBS UP to the white land cruiser on the 19/2/21 at 1:30pm at Hungry Jacks drive thru who paid for my dad’s lunch. You are very kind, many thanks!

THUMBS UP To all the good Staff at Orange Base Hospital, who were all so efficient and friendly to me, during my recent treatment. Also, a special mention to Dr Tim Nicholson, he was fantastic!

THUMBS DOWN to Centrelink and the Australian Government, giving people who haven’t worked a day in their lives an increase in their dole payments and us taxpayers who work full time have to pay for their dole payments. Big message Centrelink start cutting the dole payments for people who don’t deserve them. Full time workers who work shouldn’t have to pay for people who are on the dole. EDITOR: This is a sentiment shared by many, but we need to be careful not to lump everyone into the same group.

THUMBS DOWN to the drivers who, after taking off from the Greengate lights, accelerate at speeds out onto Molong and Forbes Roads. I feel the Police or mobile speed cameras (without warning signs) need to patrol these 2 roads on a more regular basis, as I am sure they will catch a lot of speeding drivers.

THUMBS UP and thank you to Eddie our neighbour for mowing the tall grass. People haven’t bothered to keep it clean and tidy. Nobody has been living in the house for 6 months and left the mess behind. Shame.

THUMBS UP to our boxing coach Glen Norton for volunteering his time to train us at United BJJ & Boxing. Your classes are awesome.

HUGE THUMBS UP to Orange Credit Union and especially Molly and Jake. OCU saved me from being scammed!! On the internet I was trying to book a flight, I felt uneasy after a few incidents with the operator so decided to cancel call and ring the OCU. Story told and Molly spoke to a staff member who discovered that scammer had tried to get two payments from my account.

OCU had already blocked each one as the amount was going to a Bank in India!!

End result—I was saved, Jake organised my iPad for me and Molly was excellent.

Young people who have been really well trained and are only too happy to help. No more internet purchases for me!! Thank you again.

BIG THUMBS DOWN to who’s responsible for not replacing blown lights on the railway pedestrian crossing.

PAWS UP to Julie at Precious Paws Grooming for helping a scared, anxious doggo feel so much better while you trimmed his nails. Julie, your calm, gentle, reassuring approach and expertise is so appreciated. EDITOR: Paws up? Very clever and a first for OCL. THUMBS UP to OCL for their ‘’Life words of encouragement’’ quotes every week. I really enjoy reading them, then I cut them out and add to my ‘’little box of happiness’’ quotes.

THUMBS DOWN to the drivers of 4WD vehicles who travel close behind smaller cars, around town at night. Your lights in our rear vision mirrors are blinding and because of this, I nearly had an accident coming into a roundabout recently. Please be mindful of this and kee~p your distance.

THUMBS DOWN to people who enter shops through the exits or stand too close. It’s no wonder COVID spreads when people can’t follow simple directions. What’s wrong with people?

THUMBS UP to Dani and the team at Diesel and Blue Doggie Daycare.

Well deserved front cover, it’s always a pleasure to take my dog Jodi to daycare and to know that she is in great hands.

THUMBS UP to the kind gentleman who was parked on the turn off to Borenore Lane (from Bargo Rd) on Monday 15th Feb. He came to me rescue and removed the stick caught under my car and making an awful noise. Much appreciated from an elderly lady. Thank you, God bless you.

THUMBS UP to Will Warner. He is such an asset to his employer North Orange Meats and school. Such a polite, well-spoken young man.

THUMBS DOWN to OCC for the John Williamson Show. They had COVID Marshalls on the doors but once in the theatre no restrictions were enforced.

Theatre was packed and no spacing between seats.

THUMBS UP to History Talking with Helen McAnulty and her regulars.

Maybe I’m getting old but it’s become my favourite article in OC Life.

HUGE THUMBS UP to Sue in the OHS sick bay/admin, you went out of your way to ensure my son was okay and a follow up phone call the next day.

Thank you so much.
