GIANTS of the game!

Big-time netball again came to the Colour City when the Western Sydney-based GIANTS recently hosted two sold-out games against the Adelaide Thunderbirds as part of the Super Netball pre-season.

ORANGE

The GIANTS, last year’s runners to the Sydney Swifts, were ultimately defeated in both keenlycontested trials; but won local hearts with a well-attended coaching clinic for young players looking to emulate the stars of the national league.

Let there be singing and dancing! The past week has seen restrictions on entertainment venues lifted, QR check-ins scaled back and from tomorrow maskwearing requirements will be largely removed as we (hopefully!) emerge from the worst of the pandemic.

We noticed a number of venues around town couldn’t wait to make the most of the changes to venue rules over the weekend and quickly organised live music at short notice!

In not unrelated news, Tuesday marked the one-year anniversary of the vaccination roll-out in NSW. Issuing more than 16.6 million jabs in 12 months is a pretty significant achievement — let alone the incredible work done to create multiple, effective vaccines in the first place. Recently I was listening to an interview with Professor Kyle Harper, a Roman historian from the University of Oklahoma, whose latest book Plagues upon the Earth: Disease and the Course of Human History highlights just how incredible an impact science and modern medicine has had on the course of human history.

One point that really stood out to me is that of the thousands of generations of human beings that have gone before us, it has only been the last three or four for which infectious diseases have not been the greatest causes of mortality.

NSW Health is strongly encouraging everyone aged 5 years and over to get vaccinated as quickly as possible.

If you or your family are eligible for your first, second or third vaccine dose, NSW Health clinics will be open for walk-in vaccinations — no appointments — required for the next two weekends.

briefly “Freddie’s” a wanderer:

with a real bite to his bark While they’re not indigenous to this area, they are very dangerous, as Annie Clarke’s chihuahua almost found out the hard way.

A full-grown and very poisonous Sydney funnel-web spider (Atrax robustus) — rated by the as the world's most venomous arachnid — was recently cornered by their pet pooch in the front yard.

“The dog was going this little black thing on the lawn, and I got my husband out of the car and he said, ‘that’s a funnel-web spider’ so we got it in a box,” Annie explained.

After calling their local vet, they suspect that it had travelled on their daughter Grace’s car, from her base in Newcastle, well within the lethal spider’s natural range.

“She’s from the suburb of Waratah, and there are heaps up there,” Annie explained. Although their venom is highly-toxic, no-one is believed to have died from their bite since an anti-venom was developed by Australian medical researcher, Struan Sutherland in 1980.

Indigenous leaders feature in photo exhibit at Gallery A series of photographic portraits of members of the Orange Aboriginal community — celebrating the importance of shared knowledge and leadership — is currently on display at Orange Regional Gallery.

POWER NAPS CAMPAIGN TO SAVE OUR TRUCKIES

Power-naps — popular among world leaders and businesspeople in the 1980s including Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher — are back, with the aim of reducing our road toll from tired truckies!

Launch of a national campaign in Orange recently with the theme, “Tired? Power Nap Now!” saw a $135,000 commitment announced by Federal Local member, Andrew Gee. Road Safety Officer for Orange and Cabonne, Andrea Hamilton-Vaughan said the campaign, created by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator Initiative, said the “power nap” campaign offers a solution to the deadly problem of drivers having “micro-sleeps” on our roads

leading to serious accidents.

“This offers a solution to people fighting to keep their eyes open on the road,” Ms Hamilton-Vaughan said.

“We’re saying to heavy vehicle operators, if they’re tired, take a nap, pull over and rest,” Mr Gee said.

“Country drivers are far more likely to be in serious accidents, due to the greater distances they travel.”

“Fatigue is one of the big killers on our roads; if you are tired, pull over and have a rest,” Orange Mayor, Councillor Jason Hamling said.

Cabonne Deputy Mayor, Jamie Jones, added that the campaign is relevant to all drivers on country roads, and not just for those in heavy vehicles.

The exhibition is called Winhanganha (“to think, know, remember”) Mayiny (“people”), and was produced by renowned Australian portrait photographer, Gary Grealy with the exhibition on display until June.

Winhanganha Mayiny is an Orange Regional Gallery and Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council (OLALC) partnership exhibition with support from Anna and Simon Ainsworth.

Orange City Council Services Policy Committee Chair, Councillor Mel McDonell said Winhanganha Mayiny was one of four exhibitions displayed as part of the re-opening of the Gallery after a year-long expansion project.

The portraits feature local Aboriginal identities including President of the Orange United Sports Club, Jason French; Chief Executive Officer of the Aboriginal Land Council, Annette Steele; Community Worker, Pam Boney; and local artists, Sandon Gibbs-O’Neil and Hayden Gibbs-O’Neil.

DESERT ISLAND DISKS: is it books or music?

Largely-unfunny comic alias, “Ali G”, (Sacha Baron Cohen) once when interviewing Donald Trump about “the best thing in the world”, seemed surprised when Trump — rarely-rated one of the world’s most-cultured individuals — unexpectedly answered “music”.

Having enjoyed the old television series, “Lost” where a group of airline passengers are stranded on an unnamed island; dinner-table conversations in our house often revolves around quizzing the kids lightheartedly about what food, television show, or movie, they would take, if marooned in the Pacific?

In a similar vein, Britain’s BBC has for decades asked the same question in its legendary radio show, “Desert Island Disks”, where the famous and celebrated describe what recordings they would take with them to a distant shore.

Simply stunning Stunning image of Sunday night’s wild thunderstorm captured by Troy Pearson (Eyetrix Productions). “A moment caught in time,” said Pearso, posting a series of storm images to his social media pages.

“While you were sleeping on the night of the 20/02/2022, I was storm chasing. It did not disappoint.”

Along with the light show, 35.4mm of rain was recorded in the airport gauge, the first decent fall all month.

“My five favourite books” lists are a popular variation of this theme in lifestyle and topical magazines, in which those with a literary bent list their most-beloved works of all time.

I’ve often wondered, as the plane careened towards the ocean, whether I’d prefer it if my literary, or musical, collection were on board?

Novels provide a wonderful escape from the contingencies of our lives.

Instead of us doing the work and facing the challenges, restrictions, and practicalities of existence, it is our hero or heroine who does all the hard leg-work as we sit back in a comfortable chair and wonder what will happen next.

They almost always end with the bad guy (or gal) getting their just deserts; something rarely guaranteed in real life.

Music, on the other hand, offers a delightful break of another kind, into the beauty and rhythm of a brilliantlycomposed piece that reveals or reflects something about our life and experiences.

The first book I ever recall reading was a luridly-illustrated children’s edition of “Daniel in the Lion’s Den”, where the King’s trusted adviser is put in a cave full of big cats after being reported praying to the God of Israel.

Surviving the night, his enemies are then satisfactorily-despatched to the den themselves for their treachery.

My first “real book” (without pictures) was Jack London’s “Call of the Wild”, about the hero-dog “Buck” who survives the cruel life of a sled-dog in the 1890s Klondike Goldrush before returning to his wild roots as leader of a pack of wolves.

For music, the first album I heard was on a stylish, black record player that was the “family-present” one Christmas; with my older siblings getting to buy a record each — the Beatles’ classic, “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”, was my brother’s choice.

So, do I take “Sgt Pepper’s” or “Call of the Wild”? In the end, the books win out. Simply put, I can still sing most Beatles songs by heart, but I can hardly recall verbatim large chunks of Jack London’s wonderfully-sparse prose as I lounge by the fire on the beach each night waiting for a ship to pass by.

hy not start off riding with a bunch of friendly locals then, one gentle

trip at a time.

Orange Bicycle Users Group (BUG) offers learner and intermediate riders the chance of great social outings and safe group cycling without the competitive times and personal bests of more-serious clubs.

This great local group is now looking for new ride leaders to host and manage rides with a training day coming up in March.

If you’re looking to get back to your life after the lockdown blues, now’s the perfect time to get involved, Orange President, Carolynne James believes.

Getting back on your bike AND THE LOCKDOWN BUGS OUT OF THE SYSTEM — DAVID DIXON —

Want to get out from under the doona and hit the open road on your own bike, but you’re not quite up to the lycra bodysuit and full-racing standard yet?

“We’re looking to recruit new ride leaders to lead our cycle events, people with decent experience in riding themselves. We are always looking for passionate people who can become ride leaders, we’re always looking for more,” she said.

Becoming a ride-leader is about helping others to enjoy the unique fun of cycling on our busy roads while keeping everyone safe.

“The course is to show people how to lead groups on the open road, we’re all accredited ride leaders with Bicycle NSW,” she said.

“The training program is designed to show the correct road rules so that they are able to lead small groups of riders, to help them navigate on the road safely… there’s also bicycle maintenance and some first-aid,” Carolynne added.

Orange BUG, one of dozens of similar groups around the State, is designed to introduce the joys of pedalling the open road to those whose most-recent riding may have been on a BMX in their teens.

“Absolutely, that’s the purpose of BUG; to introduce people to social riding and

getting more people to participate and get on bikes,” she said.

history on many rides; recently we went out to Lucknow Mining Museum.

“It is also to show people the local cycling paths around their area,” she said.

“Another ride we’ve done before is the hospital at Bloomfield and we had a former nurse with us who talked about mental health,” Carolynne said.

Rides are chosen for their suitability, safety, attractiveness, and social aspects, and are usually held each Sunday morning.

In direct contrast to the negative impact the lockdowns had on many sports, social cycling enjoyed a mini-boom as people looked to their local area for fresh experiences.

“COVID was a really interesting time, a lot of people took the opportunity to get out with an increase in social cycling; getting on their bikes and getting around town,” Carolynne said.

For those who like the idea of riding but haven’t hopped on a bike in years, then Orange BUG could be for you. “A lot of people are not confident to join the Triathlon Club tomorrow.”

Rides, she explained, are about the journey and not the destination. “We look to work-in tourist themes in our rides, gardens and the botanic gardens.

“We try and have one of our cyclists who’s a geologist or who knows the

Ride leaders with specialist local knowledge are especially sought for specific trips, she added. “When we call for ride leaders, we are looking for those interested in farming, history, architecture, fine food or wine.”

Cycling, she says, offers the perfect way to get around the beautiful Central Tablelands, experiencing it in a way that you never get from the air-conditioned confines of a motor car.

in other towns.

“Just say you go for a holiday in Coffs Harbour, you can contact the local BUG group and go on one of their rides,” Carolynne said.

BUG provides the chance to get to ride with a supportive local group to build up your confidence.

“When you’re cycling with a group rather than alone, there’s positive peer group pressure; a lot of people who started with us, have since moved on to the Triathlon or Cycling Club as they’ve got more serious,” she said.

“It’s a wonderful way to see the world around you and experience it fully and be out in the fresh air.

Having grown-up cycling as a child, Carolynne got into Orange BUG once she moved to the country. “I was cycling as a kid with the typical girls' bike, the streamers out of the handlebars and basket.

“It is always a great way for people that are new to town to meet new people and see what the town has to offer. We support local businesses and have been on tours to wineries and the like.”

“I got back into it when I moved back out here, it’s just another set of people outside of work, it’s such a giving place and it’s great to meet people in a different context,” she said.

With about 50 other BUG groups around the State, riders can take their bikes with them on holidays and enjoy the opportunities for group social riding

“You don’t need to be a member, we take on anybody who turns up and try and make sure they have a nice day,” Carolynne said.

NEWCREST’S FUNDRAISING BEYOND THE CURVE OFFERS GRANTS OF UP TO $1,000 Applications are now open for round 2 of Newcrest’s Fundraising Beyond the Curve Program. Charities, not-for-profit organisations and associations whose fundraising revenue has been impacted by COVID-19 can apply for grants of up to $1,000.

The initiative is part of the Newcrest Community Support Fund established to assist host communities with the challenges associated with COVID-19. The first round of funding which was open in early 2021, provided support to 42 organisations including charities, sporting organisations and school P&C’s.

The program is being administered by Central NSW Business HQ with a revised application form in place to streamline the process. All applicants will also receive resources around digital enablement, as well as identifying alternative revenue streams such as digital fundraising activities to assist organisations with future fundraising strategies.

Central NSW Business HQ Chief Executive

Officer, Anthony Doyle said it is a great opportunity to provide support to community organisations who have faced challenges with fundraising due to COVID-19.

“Community organisations are the heart of our community and provide many valuable services across Blayney, Cabonne and Orange.”

“There is no doubt that COVID-19 has had an enormous impact on charities and not-for-profit sectors over the past 18 months. Many of their revenue streams have simply stopped and the Newcrest Fundraising Beyond the Curve grants are a great way to provide an injection of funds to help them restart their fundraising activities.”

Cadia Valley Operations General Manager, Aaron Brannigan said the funding would provide a much needed boost to support the local community organisations.

infrastructure or to assist organisations to restart their fundraising strategies.

“The grants will also have a flow on effect to the local business community, with organisations having to spend the funds at businesses or suppliers in the Blayney, Cabonne or Orange local government areas,” Aaron said.

Charities, not-for-profit organisations, and associations in the Orange, Blayney and Cabonne local government areas can apply.

Applications close on 15 March 2022 or when funding is exhausted. Previous recipients are not eligible to apply.

For more information or to apply for assistance, visit www.bizhq.com.au.

“The funding is designed to provide a hand up to local community groups. Organisations can apply for funding to assist with digital enablement, COVID-19 compliance, equipment,

Handy things to know when buying a property 1. What is exchange?

An exchange is a swap of the two identical contracts (counterparts) signed by the vendor and purchaser. This becomes the contract date and the countdown to settlement begins. Exchange is when you are ‘locked in’ (the legally binding moment in NSW) to the purchase and the vendor is legally bound to sell the property to the purchaser.

2. What is a cooling off period?

Ordinarily you are entitled to a five business day cooling off period after exchange– so if you pull out, your deposit will be returned to you less 0.25% of the purchase price. If you agree to waive this period, the contract becomes binding on exchange and your solicitor or conveyancer will sign a section 66w certificate.

3. Is a building and pest report important?

Yes! There is a clause in a contract which says you accept the property in its current condition and state of repair.

Basically it is too late for you to change your mind after exchange or settlement if the house isn’t in the condition you thought it was.

4. What is the difference between pre approval and formal approval from a bank?

Pre-approval is an amount your bank can loan you to buy a property based on your assets, income and liabilities.

For the bank to give you formal approval, they will need a copy of the contract so they arrange a valuation of the property (and complete any other conditions the finance may be subject to). The bank needs to make sure that what they are lending you is in line with the property value. Once you have formal approval, you are almost ready to exchange.

5. Buying at auction?

Once the ‘hammer falls’ at an auction, you are locked in. No refund. The auction date becomes your exchange date (no cooling off period) and you must immediately sign the contract and pay your deposit. The countdown to settlement begins! So it’s very important you have already obtained formal approval from the bank, a pest and building report and had your solicitor review the contract.

6. What is settlement?

Contact Blackwell Short on Settlement is the date the property becomes yours! You (or your bank) hand over the money to the vendor and in return, 02 6393 9200 or the vendor gives you the title deed (electronic form only) and the transfer. Once this is done, the real estate agent will bsl.reception@blackwellshort.com.au give you the keys.

Cartoonist brightens lives during Covid times Starting this week, Orange City Life features the award-winning cartoon strip “Insanity Streak”.

Creator Tony Lopes, who has family at Millthorpe, spoke to Steph Allen about how he got started as a cartoonist, how he gets his daily inspiration, and the realisation that helping Aussies laugh has been a big help during lockdowns.

Award-winning Australian cartoonist Tony Lopes has long entertained newspaper readers across the country, bringing a smile to the faces of fans – especially those seeking a slice of levity during tough pandemic times.

Tony, who lives in Sydney’s southern suburbs with his wife and two sons and regularly visits his brother in Millthorpe, was just a primary school student, doodling in his schoolbook margins, when he first developed a passion for cartooning.

Armed with natural talent, creativity and a great sense of humour, Tony quickly enamoured others with his captivating toons.

“At home, Mum recalls I always had to go off and draw cartoons,” he said.

“I basically knocked on their door cold and showed the editor a few of my alien cartoons,” he said.

“I was an ambitious 16-year-old. Luckily the editor, whom I’m still friends with, loved them.”

It was after editors began to show interest in his work that he realised his creations had potential.

“After completing high school, I studied fine arts at a Sydney art college, receiving a diploma in fine arts, majoring in photography,” Tony said.

“After leaving art school, I began work as a wedding photographer. It was during this time that the idea for ‘Insanity Streak’ was brewing in my head.

“I commenced drawing Insanity Streak on a weekly basis and mailed out countless samples.

“Persistence was the key to the strips’ success and now I can honestly pull out a file containing well over 200 rejection slips. I’m only now just finishing therapy,” he joked.

While Tony has honed his subconscious into a rhythm and has a natural instinct, he finds inspiration at mornings at the beach a couple days a week.

“I especially liked to study the old Warner Bros cartoons.”

“I find it’s there I’m most relaxed... I can find my way and focus,” he said.

Tony’ first sale was to a niche publication in Sydney called ‘Sky & Space magazine’.

“I’ll brainstorm a topic or situation that I want to explore, looking at a premise from all angles, reversing the scene,

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVICE More and more people in Orange are enjoying the benefits of independent financial advice... should you be one of them?

Cartoonist Tony Lopes shares how he finds his inspiration fo r his beloved cart oons.

“I’ll ask ‘what if’ about a scenario. I’ll think in opposites, or perhaps look for a potential conflict in the premise.

“Substituting modern or ancient customs, or a historical character or setting which can often produce something... inserting animals, myths or legends into a scenario, looking for a familiar word usage, or object that might spark something. If all of this fails and nothing works, I’ll jump onto seek.com and look for new employment.”

While Tony enjoys the process, he also finds it “very rewarding” when a cartoon resonates with a reader.

“Especially during the pandemic, I received hundreds of messages saying that my cartoons have cheered people up and took their minds off all the sad news,” he said.

“Even my local doctor has my cartoons on display in his waiting room to cheer up his patients.”

Reduced Banjo Fest bouncing-back with biggest event ever in 2023

A

Banjo’s bash this year might not have been the biggest ever, but 2023 promises to be something special.

fter two eventlimited Banjo Paterson Australian Poetry Festivals, next year’s celebration of Orange’s “Bard of the Bush” intends making-up for lost time.

Hundreds of bush poets are expected for the 2023 Fest with this year’s deferred Australian Bush Poets Association’s National Bush Poetry Championship likely to attract up to a thousand extra visitors to the Colour City.

With this year’s Festival again essentially limited to locals, Chair of the Organising Committee, Len Banks says just being able to hold the event has been a triumph of flexibility, commitment, and hard work from dozens of volunteers.

“We’re certainly glad we’ve gone ahead with it, while the Elvis Festival at Parkes and Tamworth Music Festival; had to postpone

theirs, we went ahead with a reduced program,” Len said.

While the Festival was able to just beat lockdown in 2020 with a full program of events, it’s had to run on restricted programs for the past two years.

“The Festival has actually been going very well, events have been wellpatronised, and we’ve had about eight to ten visiting poets in town… last year’s was similar to this one,” he said.

While various activities have had to be cancelled including at Yeoval, Molong, and Heifer Station winery, the breakfast and poetry readings — the Rotary Club’s “Brekky and Poetry on the Pavers” event at the South Court of Orange civic square — have been a hit.

“We’ve had one-and-half hours of bush poetry each morning with bacon and egg rolls and it’s been a highlight,” he said.

Poets who have performed have come as far afield as the Grampians in Victoria,

Sydney, and Newcastle.

storytelling about the Australian bush.”

Another event that had to be modified to comply with the times, was the recentlyannounced winners of the “Blackened Billy Verse writing competition” that was presented online with the winning entry “Elegy” by Irene Dalgety Timpone.

He said that hosting this year’s cancelled National Bush Poetry Championships next year should more than make up for the past two reduced program of events.

He said that the uncertainty around the COVID-19 restrictions essentially forced the organising committee’s hand early.

“The events that have had to be cancelled, we had to make a decision a month ago. Western Australia was closed, and so was Queensland, we essentially had to make it a local festival,” Len explained.

With Paterson born on a property near Orange on February 17, 1864, it's right that the Colour City commemorates its most famous son, he said.

“It’s to celebrate that Banjo Paterson was born in Orange and about what he contributed to bush poetry. It’s also to encourage kids to understand his great

“It was postponed this year and has not been held since 2017… so we’ve planned it for next year,” Len said excitedly.

“You’d hope to get 1000 people to town for that one event… it’s the premier event for performance bush poetry in Australia.”

He said that hosting the “Blackened Billy” national writing coemption will also draw hundreds of visitors to the Colour City.

“For a national writing competition like this, you’d expect up to 2000–3000 entries,” he added.

“If we get these two national events in Orange next year, if that happens, it will definitely be the biggest festival we’ve ever had,” Len concluded.

Shopping trollies and sports facilities focus for Cr Floyd Abandoned shopping trollies — recently-elected Orange City Councillor, Glenn Floyd believes — are a long-running issue that the Colour City needs to finally bite the bullet on.

Cr Floyd from the Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party would like to enact a plan proposed by former councillor Sam Romano that involved locking devices on all trollies if they are moved outside a specified CBD zone.

Cr Floyd is also keen, in the current council term, to see the sports precinct built at south Orange and also the proposed mountain bike trails approved for Mt Canobolas.

Taking over the top of the Shooters’ ticket from former Cr Romano, he said that his predecessor had some good, practical goals.

“Some of his legacies I would definitely like to carry on. I’d like to continue one resolution that he put up, and that is locking devices on shopping trollies, I think that’s

“I just think it’s a bad look for the town, having them everywhere, and there is something that we can do about it, that’s a resolution I’d certainly like to see carried forward,” he added.

Recently-elected Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party Orange City Councillor, Glenn Floyd; shopping trolley locks and the proposed sports stadium are two big issues that the Colour City needs to bite the bullet on.

“I ran as a pure independent in Bathurst, I just think it’s important to give something back to the place I live in,” he said.

Working at the Cadia Valley mine in the logistics and freight area, he, however, doesn’t believe that hailing from our district’s largest employer will have much bearing on his role.

He became accidental top of the Shooters ticket after former councillor Romano relocated for his son’s sport’s career interstate.

Along with State Shooters’ Party local member, Phil Donato, he believes that now is the time that we need to be able to get back to our lives after two long years of COVID-19 restrictions, lockdowns, and quarantines.

“My personal opinion is ‘yes’ it’s time we get rid of all this and get back to normal as soon as possible, and that’s something that Council can certainly communicate to the State Government,” he concluded.

Avid indoor plant collectors Paul Lawson and Kellie Wood have turned their passion into a new business venture.

Style by Leaf stocks an extensive range of quality, hard-to-find house plants for plant-loving locals.

Style by Leaf It all started with one plant, said Kellie Wood and Paul Lawson, the couple behind houseplant specialty shop Style by Leaf.

I

t’s a tale familiar to anyone who has been caught up in the house plant craze; that one plant becomes two, two becomes four, then before you know it your living room resembles an indoor jungle.

“Plants, they are addictive,” laughed Paul, “Once you have a couple… they definitely grow on you!”

Potted indoor plants have become incredibly popular over the past decade, filling up homes and social media feeds the world over. The last two years of lockdowns and working-from-home have only spurred demand for indoor greenery.

But as Paul and Kellie grew their own collection in Orange, they found that the variety of plants available locally was limited.

“Our collection became so extensive that we were looking for different types of plants, the more unusual ones and the kind of plants we saw on Instagram and we couldn't find them locally,” said Paul.

“We tried the online thing, but it just wasn't working; the quality was no good and they were often tiny and had been knocked about.”

“And that's when we came up with the idea to start something ourselves,” said Kellie.

Style by Leaf is a houseplant-lovers dream — no surprise considering Paul and Kellie’s own green obsession. They stock an extensive range of stunning plants from Fittonia Albivenis ‘Nerve Plants’, Alocasia Rugosa ‘Melo’, Peperomia Hope and Stromanthe tricolour, to classics like Fiddleleaf Figs, Monsteras and Begonias.

“One of our wholesalers specialises in Begonias, I think they have 25 different varieties and they are really growing on me.

I think they are one of my favourites,” said Paul.

Knowing their own disappointment with the quality of plants they’ve purchased in the past, all Style by Leaf plants are handpicked from their suppliers in Sydney.

“One thing we can promise is the quality of our plants,” said Kellie. “We would never put anything in here that we wouldn't buy ourselves.”

As well as selling plants and a wide range of pots, Style by Leaf also offers short and long-term indoor plant hiring for any local business.

FEBRUARY 24 — MARCH 2, 2022

One thing we can promise is the quality of our plants…

We would never put anything in here that we wouldn't buy ourselves.”

“Style by Leaf can also cater for weddings, conferences, Airbnbs or staging of properties for real estate agents. We can offer advice on what plants suit your needs and will provide full maintenance once a week as part of our package as well,” said Kellie.

Style by Leaf has been operating since December 4, with sales via their website and free local delivery. But for the next three months, you have the chance to inspect their stunning range of plants in person at their pop-up store in McNamara Street.

“It has gone really well so far,” said Paul.

“It's something we love doing and are passionate about. So, I guess for us, it’s not really work, it is something we love.”

“Plant’s make people happy,” explained Kellie. “They make us really happy and hopefully they make our customers really happy too.”

Style by Leaf is located in McNamara Street (next to Hive) and is open 4pm to 7pm Friday, 8am to 1pm Saturday and Sunday.

OCLife Orange-based internet radio station, “Slice Radio”, will celebrate its first birthday next week, an anniversary it also shares with creator, Dan Pritchard.

“Slice… well this iteration has been around since March 1st, my birthday!” said Dan, who had previously had a go at an online radio service a decade ago.

“We had a first crack at it in 2012, but we were a bit ahead of the game for internet radio and we went away in 2015, and I've come back to it now because the internet has never been bigger and, with social media, there are better opportunities for myself and contributors and collaborators to get into it. If not now, when?”

That the rebirth of Slice shares its birthday with Dan is not quite a coincidence. It was more that Dan picked that date as the push he needed to get things started.

“It sounds bizarre doesn't it? But my birthday was coming up and I thought, ‘why not make that the anniversary of getting going again?’,” laughed Dan. “But there were also certain things that happened health-wise in my wife and my

Radio offering a “slice” of Orange to the world

lives and they were smoothing out, so that was probably the impetus really. It was a good time for our health to get back into it and take the bull by the horns (whatever that means!) and get into it!”

“There is a podcast by myself which is entertainment interviews with an actor, a musician, or another podcaster, so I do fun interviews with them,” said Dan, who is keen to see others get involved.

Slice is a commercial, online radio station playing a mixture of Pop, Indie, Country, and Dance music along with a variety of podcast offerings, some from names that will be familiar to long-time Orange City Life readers.

“Our mission statement is, to give people in the Central West area an opportunity to get into broadcasting or podcasting and also to promote people in the central west area that are already doing artistic endeavours — most specifically in the music area, but not only music,” he said.

“Jamie Steadman does the ‘Whole Human’, so he's a mental health coach, and there's another show called ‘The Shift Podcast’, talking to authors of books that Denise Mills — who is the broadcaster in that case — is interested in.

“I'm not pretending that internet radio is the biggest thing, it's not. But there is still a lot to be gained from it, and it gives you a lot of experience if you want to go on and do different things.”

Peter Young, who hosts the 90s alternative music podcast “Sounds like Teen Spirit” under the name “DJ Charlie Fatt”, agrees.

“Presenting a weekly show for Slice has been great,” said Peter. “Firstly, I’ve had a reason to dust off my CD collection and revisit some beloved albums. Secondly, my show is repeated and available via podcast so it isn’t one live broadcast and it’s lost forever like conventional radio.

Lastly, being a digital station, Slice is available to the world!”

And you can also broadcast from just about anywhere, added Dan. “That's the best thing these days, is you can broadcast live from your own home or your phone if you wanted to,” he said.

“We'd love to talk to other people that want to be involved. We are growing all the time, barely a day goes by that we don't grow a little bit, so anyone can email us and we can talk about something they might want to do.”

You can contact Dan by emailing contactsliceradio@gmail.com or listen at www.sliceradio.com.au

TH HONOURING THE FALLEN AT THE 80TH 80 ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOMBING OF DARWIN HONOURING THE FALLEN AT THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE BOMBING OF

It was incredibly moving to lay a wreath at the Darwin Cenotaph last weekend as we stopped to remember the 80th Anniversary of the Bombing of Darwin. The re-enactment at the service, with sirens wailing and guns blasting, brought home how terrifying that day must have been for those in Darwin, and throughout Australia, as our nation came under attack.

We remembered the 252 lives lost in the attacks and the bravery of our service personnel who fought so gallantly to defend our country despite the limited resources and support available. More bombs hammered Darwin than had been dropped on Pearl Harbor 10 weeks earlier.

We also honoured the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women in uniform, as well as civilians, who rescued crewmen from burning ships, and the local doctors and nurses who treated the badly wounded survivors. It was a dark day in our history, but as always, Australians endured.

A highlight of the ceremony for me was being seated next to 101 year old Flight Lieutenant Brian Winspear. Brian enlisted in the Air Force in 1939 when the war broke out. He was sent to help defend Darwin and was just 21 years old when the Japanese attacked. He was in the trenches at the aerodrome as bombs started dropping around him and he took shrapnel in his hand and eye.

The hundreds gathered at the Darwin Cenotaph gave Brian a standing ovation when he laid his Pictured: Andrew with 101 year old Australian wreath in memory of those killed in the attacks and all those he served with. A fitting tribute for the World War Two veteran, Flight Lieutenant Brian service and sacrifice of a great Australian. Brian is part of an extraordinary generation that we owe so much to. Lest we forget.

ANOTHER $60,000 BOOST FOR ORANGE’S ODEON 5 CINEMA There’s nothing quite like grabbing a box of popcorn and seeing a movie on the big screen!

ATTENTION TRADIES: DON’T FORGET THE INSTANT ASSET WRITE-OFF! Growing a small or family business involves taking chances and a fair bit of courage. Cash flow can be a handbrake to investing in your business. The instant asset write-off takes the pressure off by bringing forward tax deductions for eligible expenditure of up to $150,000, for assets including motor vehicles, office equipment and power tools.

This unprecedented support has been expanded with temporary full expensing allowing businesses to immediately deduct the business portion of the cost of eligible depreciating assets for both new and second-hand eligible depreciating assets. So if you need to buy that new ute, or equipment to make your business hum, there is no better time!

Unfortunately, when movie theatres were forced to close their doors during the COVID-19 pandemic, many cinemas struggled to keep the projectors rolling. Regional movie theatres play a vital in the social fabric of regional communities and employ local residents. For these reasons the Australian Government introduced a $20 million SCREEN Fund, with Orange’s very own ODEON 5 Cinema qualifying for a $60,000 boost last year!

With COVID still impacting on local businesses including cinemas, I am delighted to announce an additional $60,000 in funding to help the ODEON 5 Cinema stay open and offer entertainment for Orange residents. Its one of 158 cinemas to benefit from the initiative.

Banjo Paterson model aircraft Rally clocks up 30 good years

Orange Model Aircraft Club President, Norm Barnes with Vice-President, Garry Hildebrandt.

— JONATHAN ROE —

Celebrating the 30th year of the Banjo Paterson Scale Rally, model aircraft pilots recently enjoyed a full weekend of flying at the local field at Borenore.

Like so many events over the past two years, numbers were down due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, but nearly two-dozen pilots and twice that number of models attended the Orange Model Aircraft Club airfield that is located in a corner of the Australian National Field Days’ site at Borenore.

Orange Model Aircraft Club itself has a surprisingly-long history and was founded way back in 1929, just two decades after the first heavierthan-air flight in Australia with the club running continuously and without a break to the present day

to get a car. And then I couldn't afford it, then I had kids, they all left home, so then I got back into radio control.”

Flying model aircraft is a bit of an adrenaline rush, said Norm, and much more accessible a hobby than it used to be.

“One time, you'd buy a box full of wood and a plan and cut it all out and build it!” he said.

“It is one of the longest in existence, I think, in Australia,” said current Club President, Norm Barnes.

“Then kits came out that were die-cut. They weren't really that accurate, but it was better than cutting it all out yourself. Nowadays, most of them are laser-cut so they are more accurate and neater but most planes now are what we call ‘ARF, Almost Ready to Fly’ so they are pretty much pre-built.

Membership has varied quite a lot over those years, Norm added, as interest in the hobby has waxed and waned.

“It is a lot easier these days, but I think the art of building models is gradually getting lost,” he added a little wistfully.

Norm, himself, has been a member since 2000 after picking-up his interest in flying model aircraft again after some decades out of the sport.

Weather permitting, the Orange Model Aircraft Club can be found flying every Sunday with new devotees always appreciated.

“I’ve always wanted to do it,” he said. “When I was a kid, I used to have control-line models, self-taught to fly them and, when I left school and got old enough to want a car, well, I sold all my model stuff

“They are quite welcome to come out any time; we are always looking for new members, especially juniors, we are always looking for younger people to get involved,” Norm concluded.

GELATO GIVEAWAY TO FREE ART CLASSES kicks off Peter Fisher’s half-century

With lockdowns seemingly behind us, international borders now open, and facemasks soon to be a thing of the past, there is a lot to celebrate right now.

For the team at Peter Fisher Real Estate, 2022 will also be a year to remember as they blow out the candles on their 50th birthday cake.

“Reaching the 50-year milestone is very exciting,” Director Hunter Ridley — who purchased the independent agency from the eponymous Peter Fisher back in 2009 — said.

“Every day, our team is out in the community talking to people, all of whom love Orange for various reasons… it helps us when we talk to buyers considering moving to the area. Given our knowledge of Orange, deciding how to celebrate our 50th birthday was easy — we want to

celebrate things that make this city great!”

Birthday celebrations focussing on what’s great about Orange will feature right through to December with something for everyone. “Ultimately, we just want Orange residents to experience a side of Orange they may not have otherwise,” Hunter explained.

To get the party started, Peter Fisher Real Estate will be giving away free gelato to random customers at everyone’s favourite gelato mecca, “Spilt Milk”.

So between 3–5pm from Monday, February 28 to Friday, March 4, order your favourite gelato and, if you find one of the stickers the team at Peter Fisher have secretly placed on Spilt Milk’s cups, it’s free!

The birthday celebrations will then continue through autumn, with Peter

Fisher hosting a number of free outdoor art classes in some of Orange’s most colour-friendly parks and gardens.

To be run by a well-known established local artist, the one-and-a-half-hour classes will take place on various weekends throughout autumn, with every budding painter taking-away their own creation at the end of the lesson. So keep an eye out, as bookings will be essential.

“Another wonderful aspect of Orange that people often comment on, is the willingness of people to support others in need in the community, so part of our celebrations will focus on this,” Hunter said.

“Everyone’s familiar with the Cancer Council’s ‘Biggest Morning Tea’, so we feel we can make this even bigger in 2022, so stay tuned for that,” Hunter concluded.

I

COUNCIL’S NOD OF APPROVAL

t has been almost three years since fire completely destroyed the Wentworth Golf Club clubhouse, but there’s finally light at the end of the tunnel for club members.

Last week Orange City Council approved the development application for the new clubhouse, which looks to be quite the step-up from the temporary facilities that have been in place.

The plans include: a new pro shop; two golf simulators with a lounge area; indoor kids play equipment; coffee shop, restaurant

and bar facilities; function space; a sports lounge; outdoor seating; and storage for a new 25-strong golf cart fleet.

“We would like to thank Orange City Council for supporting this project and to our members for their patience and cooperation throughout this process,” said the Orange Ex-Services Club in a statement to their members.

“The OESC Board, Management and staff look forward to delivering this state-ofthe-art complex for our members and the Orange community.”

Phil DONATO MP State Member for Orange

MR PERFECT Gents, you’re all invited to the ‘Mr Perfect’ BBQ I’m hosting in Orange on Sunday 6th March.

I look forward to meeting and having a great time around the barbie. It’s free of cost and all blokes are welcome.

Where: Cook Park, Orange Corner of Kite and Clinton Streets.

When: 12pm-2pm Sunday 6th March 2022

CUDAL PONY TETRATHLON Popped out to the Cudal Showground over the weekend for the Cudal Pony Club Tetrathlon, along with checking out their new mower they purchased with the grant I supported. The mower has already been put to good use. The grounds looked amazing too!! The Tetrathlon is a variant of the modern pentathlon and has four disciplines.

Shooting, swimming, running and horse riding. The shooting involves laser pistol shooting, running is 1km, swimming and horse jumping/riding.

Donato’s Diary I’ve been busy in Parliament last week and this week. After listening to the feedback my constituents have provided and expert opinions on its effectiveness, I moved to abolish mandatory QR check-in.

The Premier listened and from 18th February you’ll no longer be required to QR check-in, except if attending a nightclub or music festivals with more than 1,000 attendees, Hospitals, aged and disability facilities may use their existing systems for recording visitors.

ORANGE GO KART CLUB TRY D

The Orange Go Kart Club held their try day last weekend and as an old motor racing/karting enthusiasts I was delighted in attending.

Heaps of potential new members turned-up to have a drive, see if they are interested, and to drive on the track before it gets ripped up and resurfaced in March.

In fact, I have supported the clubs grants for upgrade to change rooms/amenities and their track resurfacing submission which they were successful in obtaining over $700k from the State Government. I seized the opportunity to jump in a cart and take it for a spin. Go karting is a great family sport and the Orange Club is a run by team of passionate and dedicated volunteers. It was an absolute blast to drive a few laps and look forward to leaving some rubber on the ground on the new surface later this year.

To all the nurses and midwives back in the Orange electorate, and across Rural and Regional NSW, I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you at your individual rallies last week, as I was required in Sydney for Parliament. Rest assured, I’m in your corner and will keep the pressure on the Government to provide better working conditions and nurse to patient ratios.

PaulTIERNEY NOT VOTING? I’ll go and get my name ticked off, but after that, I’m not sure what will happen.

All of the info contained in this column is stuff that I’ve ‘googled’ and looked up online – so, feel free to grain-of-salt it if you want, but most of the sources seem ok. So, there’s ‘politics and stuff’ for the next 500 words — read on at your peril.

The upcoming election can occur on one of 13 Saturdays between February 26 and May 21. With this column being published on Feb 24, and knowing they must give a month’s notice, (it won’t be Easter or ANZAC weekend) – we’re looking at the 7th, 14th or 21st of May. Ugh, that means almost 3 months of simply awful vote-buying, babyschmoozing, interview-sucking-up, onion-eating schmaltz and hype that we’ll endure.

Think about this. Of those who are eligible to vote, more than 90% will actually vote, and of these people, about 80% are staunch and loyal voters of their ‘favourite’ party, so all of the campaigning is largely for the benefit of less than 20% of the Australian public. The swing-voters, as they call them. There’s 17 million people enrolled to vote, so most of the campaigning is aimed at about 3 million people. It’s rumoured that one of the very minor parties spent about 90 million bucks last time and will ‘waste’ up to 100 million trying to secure just one seat and to stop one of the big parties getting in. Bzzzzt. Epic fail. They’re already drowning the TV and airwaves with campaigns bagging the big parties, and my bet is they’ll fail again. I’m looking forward to that.

Pretty bad for the incumbents to have those nasty text messages leaked (from within) to the media, with very high-ranking party members (as high up as Premiers, Deputy PM’s … wow, just wow) being revealed as typing things about the PM like “horrible person”, “complete psycho”, and “a hypocrite and a liar”. Ugh. Not

exactly showing party unity and standing behind their leader, are they? Well, actually they are standing behind their leader, knives poised. Et tu Brute. They could all be out of a job come the end of May … that’ll teach ‘em. As I imagine numbering the boxes on the ridiculously long voting slip in a couple of months, the alternatives to the current team aren’t all that attractive either.

They had their chances last time around, and didn’t make the most of securing the gold medal in a position in the race they thought was unlosable. I wouldn’t want to bet my last fiver on them winning this time, either. Back when I was very first eligible to vote, the lead singer of Midnight Oil was the face of the Nuclear Disarmament Party. They didn’t win a seat, but ran an honest campaign trying to raise the profile of situations that could have seen our world implode. More than 30 years on, the chances of Nuclear war seem slimmer, but our world is imploding from pollution, climate change, deforestation, resource usage, warring nations, presidents being impeached, Royal families giving out-of-court settlements to see issues go away – the big guns are really setting a fine example at the moment.

Is anyone fooled by seeing our leading politicians playing ‘April Sun In Cuba’ on the ukulele on the same TV station that hosted a $10,000-a-head fundraiser for this party? We are one of about 23 countries that have compulsory voting in the world.

It’ll cost between $50 and $120 to ‘not’ vote if you feel the urge to make a stand (but you could lose your driver’s licence too if you don’t pay). I definitely won’t be making a stand like that, but what I’ll do in the booth is another story. I hope somebody stands up in the next three months with something genuine to say to get me out of my disinterest and disappointment with all of them.

The goodenough parent with Emily Thompson I used to be the fun parent. I think we both were, once upon a time. Somewhere along the way, however, he took on the role of “fun dad” and I slipped into “rule enforcer”. I don’t like it one bit.

mocha and an iced mocha for later but pretending they weren’t both for me. I breezed through the day on a caffeine high and we ordered groceries together in the afternoon.

But I tolerated being the parent who shouts, “HATS, DRINK BOTTLES, WHY ARE YOU SITTING ON YOUR BED NAKED EXCEPT FOR ONE SOCK, IT’S 8:53??!” every morning, because it was a necessity. Someone needs to keep the house in order and get everyone to school and work on time. I even tolerated my husband and children not so discretely referring to me as “the party pooper”.

Thanks, Arnie and Kindergarten Cop for that one. However this week I overheard Miss 7 explaining to someone that I always poo at parties for some reason and honestly enough’s enough. I don’t want people believing that about me and I certainly can’t afford to get uninvited from any social occasions right now.

The wheels fell off on Wednesday when the kids realised I hadn’t washed since Saturday and there were no clean uniforms.

Lunch boxes were filled with pretzels and rice crackers. When they complained, I pointed to the nectarine tree in the backyard and told them to help themselves. Forced to forage their own morning tea like wild animals, the children inquired if the groceries were ever arriving and with perfect timing, the truck pulled up as we left. I texted Miss 13 a photo of my bright and colourful fruit salad lunch. “U suck” she sent back. I replied by correcting her spelling, something that always delights her.

So I took this week off nagging, reminding and yelling.

Monday was lovely. My husband and I both worked from home so he was there to shout about hats and get them to school. We had a Valentine’s lunch at Kate Jones together and I got a lot of work done. At 2.45pm he suddenly pretended to be in a very important meeting and although I wished that I’d thought of that first I admitted defeat and did the school run. We had sausage sandwiches for dinner because nobody ordered groceries.

Tuesday started wonderfully because I had told everyone I had an early meeting and we all had to be out the door super early. I only felt mildly guilty when I dropped them at school and headed to Bill’s Beans for my “meeting” which involved me buying a hot

Thursday was better, there was food at least, and it was sports day so they were even in clean clothes. I made sure Miss 7 knew to eat her apple in front of her teacher so she could see her consuming actual nutrients and I made her look until she’d found a school hat. She has seven. We found three: one rolled up in the drink bottle section of her bag, one in the cup holder of the couch, and another in the cup holder of her car seat. “If you roll them up tight Mum, they kinda look like drink bottles”.

Today was Friday. We were all late, tired from not going to bed early enough and I don’t know if anyone brushed their hair. Or teeth. But we had barbeque and coleslaw rolls for dinner, a twilight cricket match, and then a family gaming session. As Miss 7 kissed me goodnight, two hours later than normal, she said, “this week was fun”.

I’ll take that.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB Winter Games: The Winter Olympics are an incredible spectacle. As I watch what these men and women do on the snow and ice I am in total awe. From the insanity of the skeleton and ski jumping to the brutality of ice hockey, and even the cult favourite of curling, the Winter Olympics are pretty special. It has produced some amazing moments over the years. Of course, for me and many Australians, the Steven Bradbury epic at the 2002 Salt Lake City games is still something of legend. Part of what makes the Winter Olympics something special for me is that snow is such a novelty. While I have certainly

enjoyed the odd dustings and dumpings of snow here in Orange, I really know nothing of the deep cold Northern Hemisphere winters. So as I see what these people can do in the snow and ice I am mesmerised. But for all the joy and spectacle of the Winter Olympics, it is only fleeting. How many of us can name a gold medallist from the Winter Olympics four years ago? Or how many of us can name the last few host cities? We so easily forget. Something that drives this home even further is a quick Google search of abandoned Olympic venues. These places were once bathed in glory and had all the eyes of the world fixed upon them.

There were glorious runs with perfectly

FEBRUARY 24 — MARCH 2, 2022

combed snow and shimmering ice that was freshly Zamboni-ed. Now they are cracked and overgrown slabs of concrete.

It is a stack reminder of how easily we move onto the next best things in our world. This happens at both a macro level with the likes of the Olympics, to the micro level as we think about the draw in our house filled with old bits of tech. In such a transient world, it can be hard for us to find something or somewhere that is constant. In the Bible, in Hebrews 13:8 is says this: Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. What does this have to do with our world? As a Christian, I believe it has everything to do with our world. This is because, although we may

quickly move onto the next best thing, or that our society is always seeking to know what is coming next. Or that we quickly forget where we have been, there is a certain grounding that comes in knowing that while everything around us changes, Jesus never does. This shapes the way I think about global crises, personal suffering, the good times and hard times.

Because he never changes, I can find true rest in him. So while in four years’ time I will find myself struggling to remember where these Winter Olympics were held, or that I will not be able to remember the name of someone who won a medal, I can know that I have someone who will never change. That is what gives me peace.

COUNCIL AT WORK Banjo writing contest a launch-pad for authors

Portraits celebrate shared knowledge and leadership in Aboriginal community A series of portraits of members of the Orange Aboriginal community is on display at Orange Regional Gallery, celebrating the importance of shared knowledge and leadership in community.

Entries for the 2022 Banjo Paterson Writing Awards have opened. A win in Orange’s Banjo Paterson Writing Awards continues to act as a boost for up-andcoming Australia authors.

Named Winhanganha (to think, know, remember) Mayiny (people), the exhibition was produced by renowned Australian portrait photographer Gary Grealy. The exhibition will be on display until 5 June 2022.

Winhanganha Mayiny is an Orange Regional Gallery and Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council (OLALC) partnership exhibition made possible with generous support from Anna and Simon Ainsworth.

Entrants are competing to win $2000 for the winning contemporary poem or $2000 for the winning short story.

Orange City Council Services Policy Committee Chair Cr Mel McDonell said Winhanganha Mayiny was one of four exhibitions displayed as part of the reopening of the Gallery after a year-long expansion project.

“It was great to see this exhibition on display as part of the gallery’s reopening celebrations, which provide an insight into the subjects’ skills and knowledge in a diverse range of areas such as art, archaeology, language, sport and community work,” Cr McDonell said.

“Hundreds of people admired the stunning portraits during the opening event in December and hundreds more have since spent time reading each person’s story and appreciating the work of the talented Sydney photographer Gary Grealy.”

Mr Grealy’s photographs have been exhibited in prestigious photographic competitions both here and overseas winning the National Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery in 2017.

The exhibition features portraits of Doug Sutherland, Jason French, Annette Steele, Julie Armstrong, Michael Newman, Pam Boney, Sandon Gibbs-O’Neill, Hayden Gibbs-O’Neill and Shirley Kinchela.

Over multiple visits in 2020 and 2021, Mr Grealy met and worked with each sitter to create a portrait that spoke to their identity and role.

Entries close on Friday 6 May and winners are announced at the annual Orange Readers and Writers Festival held in the first weekend of August.

Orange Indigenous community members, Sandon Gibbs-O’Neill and Hayden Gibbs-O’Neill.

During each session the sitter discussed their work and the role it plays in building a strong community for future generations. Across all the portraits each person is united by their work for community and a shared belief in the Wiradjuri philosophy of Winhanganha.

A set of portraits has been produced for the OLALC and will be installed in its new head office on Byng Street.

“The portrait series will remind future generations that great things can happen when everyone unites and shares their skills and passion,” OLALC CEO Annette Steele said.

was about exploring what sort of place our community wants Orange to be.

“What do you love about Orange? What can we do better? What would you change? What do you wish was here?” Cr Hamling said.

“The CSP is the document that guides council activities. The last time Orange City Council staged a community-wide conversation about the city’s future was in 2017 and a call to develop sport and recreation facilities topped the list, which led to significant investment. In 2011 it was all about water and resulted a $100 million investment in water security,” he said.

A draft CSP will be compiled and placed on exhibition for further community comment before it is considered and adopted by council.

The CSP is the highest level of strategic planning undertaken by a council and is part of Council’s Integrated Planning & Reporting requirements. The Plan aims to capture the views of the community to provide a blueprint for Orange.

Orange Mayor Jason Hamling said the CSP

Orange City Council Services Policy Committee Chair Cr Mel McDonell is calling for entries.

“Banjo Paterson helped shape some of our ideas of what it means to be Australian through his bush ballads,” Cr McDonell said.

FutureOrange: Have your say face-to-face or share your ideas online

Orange City Council is urging the community to join a consultation that will guide how the city develops.

Under the FutureOrange banner Council is looking for feedback on how the city adapts, protects and advances. The consultation will form the basis of the Community Strategic Plan (CSP).

As part of the engagement Council is hosting community forums as well as face-to-face sessions with key stakeholder groups such as schools and at other sites such including touch football and the Orange Aquatic centre.

Council will also continue with online engagement.

Two forums will be held at Orange Civic Centre today, Thursday 24 February, at 1pm and 6pm, with each running for about oneand-a-half hours.

To ensure the forums are COVID-Safe in terms of attendance numbers please RSVP by phoning 6393 8000.

Entry fees are $15 per short story and contemporary poetry and $5 for children 16 years and under in the children’s section of the awards.

The new Council will also have an important role in informing the draft CSP. That document and its priorities will help shape next year’s budget and budgets in years to come.

“But every writer has to make a start somewhere.

These awards, established more than 20 years ago aim to honour Banjo, with a contest encouraging new Australian content and new Australian writers.”

Paterson had a style that suited his time and place.

Today’s entries don’t have to be written in Banjo’s style of writing. They can be a response of today’s writers.

For entry forms with all the details go to the Central West Libraries website www. http://www.cwl.nsw.gov.au/

LET'S TALKmoney with DANIEL McGREGOR

VOLATILITY IS NORMAL! The more things change, the more they stay the same…

T

thirty years’ time, cash is not king! Cash will lose purchasing power over time for the exact same issue we are seeing at the moment – inflation. You need investments that will grow, and keep growing, one day to be used to help you fund your retirement.

ake the media. The first sign of a stock market pullback and they get excited to tell us how much money we’ve all lost (not true by the way). The job of the media is to get you to click on their article. The best way to do that is to tap into fear. Whether or not you read their article, well, my guess is they probably are not too fussed. Their job is to engage you, and generally speaking, they seem to be best at doing that by scaring us as much as possible. Fear sells!

At Wealth Train, we don’t sell news, we educate and advise. Our job is to give you calm, sensible, logical advice to help you keep a level head when the media may be causing others you know to lose theirs.

We are well aware we have a very important job to do, which is to try our absolute best to ensure you don’t make mistakes with your money.

So here’s our perspective…

At the start of the year we saw stock markets, both locally in Australia and globally, go backwards. The primary driver of this backwards movement has been the fact that inflation appears to be upon us quicker than expected, and the reality that inflation is often best managed by increasing interest rates on loans. This ultimately means people can’t afford to

spend as much money, businesses then make less profits and the values of those businesses need to be re-evaluated.

This is all part of a cycle, and the pullback in stock markets is normal and to be expected. The fact that stock markets were not too long ago hitting all-time record highs made the pullback quicker and more exaggerated. There are some who panic and pull out because of fear that things will keep going down, the thing is they always go back up again. And there are those who take money out believing they can then pick the right time to get back in again… trust us, the chances of being able to successfully time the markets are slim to none and history backs that up time and

time again. History has demonstrated very clearly that time in the market is the key, and the way to guarantee you lose money is to sell while things are down.

Your focus needs to be on your timeframe. The right money in the right investments for the right timeframe. By focusing on your time frame, you can then select investments that are appropriate for each stage of your journey.

If you’re investing for the short term (up to a few years), cash is king! It is the only place you can safely invest your money and be sure its value will be what you need it to be for that short period of time.

If you’re investing for your retirement in

Assuming you follow this simple investing guidance, volatility, like we have just seen in the markets, is just part of the ride.

Yes, it’s a bit of a roller coaster at times, but as you would know, the worst thing you could do on a roller coaster is try to get off halfway through the ride. It’s not always easy, but it’s when things are down that sticking to your plan becomes more important than ever. Volatility is a temporary destination you quickly pass on your journey.

You don’t change direction to escape volatility – it is normal! Unless you are willing to accept volatility you can’t invest in growth assets. Without growth assets, you don’t get the wealth outcomes you need.

So our advice to you when volatility rears itself again (as it is certain to do), is to DO NOTHING! And herein lies the key to successful long-term investing, doing nothing is actually doing something, and it is usually the correct course of action for savvy investors.

Cheers, Daniel

Women’s Shed PUSHING FOR LADIES TO TRY A TRADE — JONATHAN ROE — Local women considering a trade career are being offered a free, hands-on opportunity to get a start in the industry.

“We want to get more women in trades and trying a trade,” Orange Woman’s Shed President, Michelle Einsaar explained.

“Women can do anything a man can do, and I think a trade opens a lot more options for women these days,” she added.

Thanks to a NSW Government “Connecting Women to Trades”’ grant, Orange Women’s Shed is offering a series of free short-courses and practical workshops for working-age women. The idea is, to give interested women a taste of what it's like working in various trades,

while also learning some useful skills.

“So, with this program, we get local businesses to come and chat with the participants and we give them shortcourses with TAFE so they do accredited units to get a taste of whether this is something they want to do in the future,” Michelle explained.

“They do a ‘Statement of Attainment in General Construction Carpentry’ at TAFE. That will cover workplace health and safety, how to handle materials, an introduction to hand tools, power tools, and some air tools.

Local women considering a trade career are being offered a free, hands-on opportunity to get a start in the industry with Orange Woman’s Shed.

Central NSW Business HQ will also work with participants on resume-writing and job interview skills.

“So if you are thinking of trying a trade, looking for a new job and not sure what avenue to take, if you are a mum returning to the workforce and want to do something more hands-on, this might be your opportunity,” Michelle said.

“And, we also are having workshops with different female trades here at the Women's Shed and they'll actually complete small projects.”

“You can talk to different tradespeople and have a look at what different pathways might be open to you to actually get into trades and hands-on jobs.”

FOURTH TIME’S A CHARM: Landers takes Tamworth songwriting gong Orange-based country singer Justin Landers already has quite a few accolades to his name, but he says nothing has felt so validating as his latest achievement.

After three years as a finalist, Justin has finally claimed a win at the Tamworth Songwriters Salute Awards, with his track ‘Always Kiss Her Goodnight’ recently named the Bluegrass Song of the Year.

Inspired by a motel room canvas print, Justin’s tongue-in-cheek bluegrass-style song told from a husband’s perspective complaining about his demanding wife, but knowing that it’s important he shows love at the end of each day.

As has been the way of the world these past few years The awards presentation night was a virtual affair.

Justin was actually on stage doing what he does best when his win was announced.

“I was actually doing a gig at the Gulgong Bowling and Sports Club and Id asked a couple of other musicians to sort of keep an eye on it and later that night I got a text through saying, ‘You won!’ and I was absolutely blown away!”

ORANGE SONGWRITER

Darren Smith

SHARES STORIES BEHIND HIS TRACKS original material.

Orange-based singer/songwriter Darren Smith will perform tracks from his latest LP ‘Brave’ along with previous work at a special “Live and Kicking: Meet the Songwriter” performance at The Agrestic Grocer Orange on Friday, February 25.

“Arts OutWest is pleased to be working with The Agrestic Grocer to present another in a series of Meet the Songwriter sessions featuring Original music artists from the Central West,” Music Industry Support Officer Patrick Coomey said.

The track is the fifth single from his album Free Time and Money, which he has been touring around the region.

Darren Smith has been performing his music to audiences across the Central West since 2017 when he returned to music after a 20-year break. As well as being a talented musician, Darren is also a full-time paramedic.

Another track of the album, ‘The Corner Store’ was a finalist in the Traditional category of the songwriting awards.

Daz, as he is better known, has built up a strong loyal following of fans who connect with his songs about life, love and loss. He released the EP ‘Dive into You’ in 2018 and his first LP ‘Brave’ in 2021.

“I've been entering for four years now and I've always made the top five with a few songs each year, but this year has been really exciting,” said Justin.

His distinctive acoustic country/rock sound is a tribute to his musical influences of Keith Urban, John Mayer and U2. Darren melds these into heartfelt lyrics, addictive hook lines and unique guitar styling within his

“Now that I've got some recognition and validation for my songs… I think It sort of validates the direction that I'm going, which is good.”

The first Meet the Songwriter Session on February 4 featured Orange’s Robbie Mortimer and was a sold-out event Arts OutWest’s Live & Kicking shows are funded through the Australian government’s Live Music Australia program. It allows local audiences to see top music artists from the region at discounted ticket prices as well as supporting venues that champion live original music.

Netball blockbuster

as GIANTS and Thunderbirds slug it out Orange this week enjoyed the return of the “GIANTS” netball team for the second year running with the Sydneybased side hosting the Adelaide Thunderbirds. The double-header and free clinic held by the GIANTS offered plenty of excitement and entertainment for all local netball fans with both sides bringing their star players with expectations high for hundreds of spectators who gathered at the Sir Neville Howse Stadium, PCYC Orange.

Game One: Friday The first pre-season game between the Suncorp Super Netball sides took place on Friday evening with a thrilling fight keeping the crowd on its toes.

Due to the high intensity and skill shown by the players from both teams, this contest appeared to be a regular-season match. But even though the Thunderbirds were the outcasts here, the South Australian side displayed tremendous bravery and professionalism to block out the crowd noise and match the GIANTS’ physicality.

Adelaide Thunderbirds took a one-point lead going into the second quarter, but that instantly evaporated after the GIANTS established a consistent shooting rhythm. As a result, both sides headed into the half-time break on equal points.

However, Adelaide Thunderbirds ramped up their shooting and defensive departments in the last two quarters. The GIANTS gallantly fought until the final whistle, but some shooting errors and cheap interceptions proved costly for the Western Sydney side towards the latter stages of the game.

The Thunderbirds’ intensity and clinical shooting eventually guided them to a three-point victory, beating last year’s Super Netball runners-up, 54-51. Though it wasn't the ideal result for the GIANTS and the local crowd, it proved to be a compelling contest that served as an appetiser for the following night's second game.

Game Two: Saturday The second Super Netball blockbuster event on Saturday night provided fresh entertainment in front of another electric

ORANGE CITY LIFE

atmosphere. After a successful clinic run by the GIANTS earlier in the day, more local netballers were donning the GIANTS merchandise at this fixture.

The GIANTS were looking to make amends after narrowly losing to the Thunderbirds the previous night. Starting the first quarter with great intent, the GIANTS’ quick movement and precise passing set a high tempo for this contest.

But the Adelaide Thunderbirds immediately countered with intelligent interceptions and rapid movement in possession, eventually taking the lead and finishing the quarter with a 16-13 scoreline.

While the first quarter proved to be a tight affair, the Thunderbirds lifted their game by a couple of notches in the second quarter.

The rapid pace on display by the Adelaide side rattled the GIANTS, especially on the transition. When the GIANTS scored some consecutive points, the Thunderbirds kept launching menacing counter-attacks.

The Adelaide team entered the half-time break with an impressive nine-point lead, signaling they were running away with the 35-26 scoreline. However, the GIANTS provided an incredible response in the third quarter. Last year’s runners-up were mustering an epic comeback, reverting to their trademark two-point plays with attacking sensation Jo Harten. But just as the GIANTS narrowed the gap to six points, the Thunderbirds responded with their signature counter-attacks.

Trailing by 13 points before the fourth quarter, the GIANTS had an enormous mountain to climb.

Every time the GIANTS tried to go on a decent scoring run, the Thunderbirds provided the suckerpunch on the counter. With the Thunderbirds taking the sting out of the game, the Adelaide team sailed to a 64-51 victory.

Despite the match showcasing a tight contest in the first quarter, the Thunderbirds grew in confidence as the game progressed. The GIANTS may have left Orange with no wins, but they certainly gained more fans and left a lasting impression on young netballers in the city.

AROUND THE grounds

Bonnor Cup: St Pat’s Old Boys eliminate reigning champions and advance to Final St Pat's Old Boys and Rugby Union squared-off in the first semifinal of the Royal Hotel Bonnor Cup at Wade Park last Friday.

The competition's other semifinalists, Orange City and Cavaliers, observed this Bathurst encounter with keen interest.

While Rugby Union possessed a powerful batting lineup, St Pat's Old Boys countered the threat with some sharp and creative bowling. St Pat’s Old Boys’ Angus Parsons picked up four wickets, contributing to his side’s strong fielding effort.

The overall consistency of the St Pat's Old Boys' bowling and fielding carried them to an eightwicket victory over the reigning Bonnor Cup champions, punching their ticket to the Final on Friday, March 4. St Pat’s Old Boys will now anxiously await which Orange side will challenge them for silverware glory.

St Pat’s Old Boys 2/116 defeated Rugby Union 9/115

First Grade (BOIDC) Cricket The finals race in the Central West’s premier cricket competition is heating up. Only three rounds remain before the top-five battle it out for glory.

Competition leaders Cavaliers extended their undefeated streak in round 12, beating a tricky ORC side in Bathurst. Once again, the Cavaliers asserted their dominance in the batting proceedings, with Bailey Ferguson notching a halfcentury.

Some outstanding batting from David Neil (65-not-out) put CYMS in the driving seat before taking the field. But it was a solid bowling display from Hugh Le Lievre that proved to be the vital difference in this challenging encounter with the City Colts.

CYMS 7/187 defeated City Colts 183 After last week’s loss to Rugby Union, Orange City bounced back with a solid win over Centrals at Riawena Oval. Consistent bowling from Orange City placed the bottle green-and-whites in a strong position going into bat.

It was a remarkable display from some of Orange City’s star batsmen swiftly that took the sting out of the contest. David R Boundy (66-not-out) notched 13 fours, helping his side claim the crucial victory over their Orange competitors. The win sees Orange City perched in fourth spot, extending their gap between City Colts to 10 points.

Orange City 4/142 defeated Centrals 141

Basketball action Round 11 of the Boys High School Division 3 saw quite the show last Thursday evening with a variety of entertainment and skills on the court. Division leaders United Heat had the bye in this round.

The early game of the evening saw the second-placed OAGS Bandits taking on the fifth-placed Hurricanes. On paper, this battle appeared to be a one-sided affair.

Instead, the Hurricanes proved more than capable of taking the fight to the OAGS Bandits and keeping them on their toes for the game's entirety. Despite the fearlessness from the Hurricanes, the OAGS Bandits finally prevailed in this tight contest by 24-19.

Cavaliers 8/200 defeated O.R.C 9/166

In the next match-up, Kinross Knicks and the Raiders battled it out in a top-four clash. With both sides flirting with the division's top-two spots, this game couldn't have been more critical for either team. The Kinross Knicks and Raiders were going at each other until the final buzzer, providing an enthralling contest for the spectators. Still, the third-placed Raiders finally sealed a one-point victory with a nail-biting 28-29 scoreline.

Despite a season of disappointments, CYMS finally claimed their second campaign win with an upset over Bathurst City Colts. Batting first helped CYMS’ cause by allowing the home-side to apply early pressure on the visitors.

In the 6.50pm game, a rampant Bricklayers dominated last-placed Kinross Bucks. With the Bricklayers firing on all cylinders, the Kinross Bucks had severe trouble dealing with the opposition's persistent offensive threats with the Bricklayers finally cruising to a 1464 victory.

For most of the time, ORC struggled to contain the brute force produced by some of the Cavaliers’ batting stars. The competition favourites secured their 10th win of the season, beating ORC by 34 runs. However, the next round’s encounter with Rugby Union will genuinely test Cavaliers’ character.

GIANTS Netball FORMING SPECIAL BOND WITH ORANGE — ANTHONY BARBAGALLO —

It’s not often you get to witness a sporting club develop a deep and positive connection with fans from another city or regional town.

There’s no denying however that the GIANTS Netball franchise and the city of Orange have formed a powerful bond over the last year.

While this makes sense from a uniformperspective with the GIANTS primary colour being orange, this newfound positive relationship however goes beyond a simple fashion standpoint.

With the GIANTS Netball squad coming to Orange last weekend for its second year of pre-season preparations, this bond between the club and the Colour City has only strengthened.

It was in response to last year's impressive sell-out crowd that the GIANTS made the three-and-a-half-hour journey over the Blue Mountains to the Central Tablelands.

But this time, it was two pre-season games between the GIANTS and the Adelaide Thunderbirds that were on offer for the Orange community. The doubleheader treat attracted more of the city’s netball fans and participants, but most importantly, it effectively brought new fans to the sport.

In addition, the 2021 minor premiers also ran a clinic for local netball participants, an event that proved highly successful in drawing interest from numerous young netballers throughout the Orange area.

Orange’s Annie Miller, a former GIANTS Netball youth product, also served as an inspiration for many young local girls to

get involved in the clinic.

Regional Performance and Pathways Manager for Netball NSW, Mardi Aplin, hopes these two successful visits from the GIANTS continue.

“Ever since the GIANTS visited Orange last year, there has been nothing but success along the way.

“This year’s visit has been more successful with the clinic and two games.

All of this has created fans for life, and its impact is evident with the high number of young girls that have come to these events wearing GIANTS gear,” Mardi said.

With the GIANTS eventually having two defeats against the Adelaide Thunderbirds, this didn’t dampen the mood and crowd support inside the Sir Neville Howse Stadium with the Orange crowd still vocal every time a GIANTS goal-shooter scored.

While various local parents walked their children to the GIANTS merchandise stands, several young girls were in the crowd trying to emulate some of the netball moves performed by their idols on the court. These actions highlighted Orange’s passion for netball with the GIANTS coming to town taking local netball to another level.

GIANTS captain (and England international player) Jo Harten reinforced this theme saying: “It’s great to be back in Orange; we love coming here. The clinic also showed that there is tremendous

Overall, it was great to see the community support for both games,” Harten said to the crowd after Game Two.

As it stands, this young netball club is emerging as one of the favourites to break the NSW Swifts hegemony in the National competition coming tantalisingly close in last year’s Super Netball big game with the GIANTS are also gaining popularity along the way, especially here in Orange.

“It’s great to be playing netball in a lovely town like Orange. The experience with the fans has been enjoyable, especially after hard times with COVID. This season's goal is to get as far as possible, hopefully for silverware.

Having just arrived from the NSW Swifts, my new team and I are ready to take this season on,” Moore said.

Despite missing out on last season’s top prize, the GIANTS have signed some key reinforcements during the off-season.

Among these signings, the Western Sydney side now possesses a new defensive weapon whom the Orange fans were able to witness in action during the two local games in former

The new defensive leader, and 2021 Super Netball champion, spoke with Orange City Life about the Orange trip and the upcoming Suncorp Super Netball season.

It seems that the GIANTS Netball team have found their second home with the relationship between the GIANTS and Orange fans now stronger than ever.

Following the success of last week’s visit, we can hopefully expect more regular GIANTS Netball appearances in the Colour City for some time to come.

Legendary British footballer, Sir Stanley Matthews, damaged his cartilage in his last ever game of soccer, a veterans match for England at the unbelievable age of 70.

“A promising career cut tragically short,” the sporting icon — who played top-flight football for Stoke City until he was 50 — jokingly wrote in his memoirs.

While the best time for sporting superstars to retire is the subject of endless speculation and conjecture — “one year after the critics, one year before the fans” — as the saying goes, what about if you’ve only ever been a park footballer or cricketer?

When’s the best time to hang up the old boots for good? “As late as possible” might be the right advice.

Competitive sport provides a range of health, social, and psychological benefits that it’s hard to get from almost any other activity.

Sport, because it invariably involves competing with, or against others, pushes us physically and mentally in ways — either because of pride, competitiveness, or a desire not to let the competition down — that taking the labradoodle for a brisk walk before breakfast each morning, can never do.

Experts tell us that continuing to play competitive sport as long as we can, helps prolong our life for a number of very obvious reasons.

It helps maintain muscle mass and tone; increases aerobic fitness; keeps up social and community access; and reduces tension caused by modern living. In simple terms, it also brings genuine and unadulterated pleasure to our lives that also makes us happier.

Like most Australians of my generation, I played a number of sports competitively when young: rugby league; rugby union; tennis; touch football; and competition swimming, among them.

ORANGE CITY LIFE

Giving them all up by my late twenties, I never thought I missed them until I signed with my son’s open soccer team in my mid-forties as a fill-in to help make up their player numbers.

I’d forgotten how much enjoyment pulling on a guernsey and running around a field chasing a football can be. The sense of common purpose, excitement, and escape, that it allows, is almost unparalleled.

It was the same experience a few years later when I joined the Blayney team in Bathurst’s fatherson cricket competition known as the “Presidents Cup”, which allows young players to mix it with old heads in a semi-serious league.

Although only ever a backyard cricketer, my stoic middle-order batting and gentle left-arm orthodox spin-bowling, provided just enough ballast to the young guns for us to win our first title in a number of seasons.

Still playing competitive basketball weekends against my sons, the health and emotional benefits are immediately apparent.

While most Sundays, I have to drag myself into a pair of shorts and sports shoes to reluctantly head to the park, after returning an hour later for a hot bath, a meal, and a beer, I literally feel ten years younger.

I think it’s partly the mental focus and pushing your body waypast your usual comfort zone in a competitive environment, and the realisation that you can still chaseand-run down a court after all these years. It’s a wonderful feeling.

It’s like having an old sports car that you potter-around town in for six days, and then you hit the open-road once a week and blow the valves clean-open with a nice, straight stretch, humming along, passing traffic with the wind in your hair, you can’t beat it.

Celebrating Jackie

During the ten years plus my wife Jackie and I owned Orange City Life, we made a lot of friends. Some we came to know personally, others not personally but they knew of us, and often anecdotally communicated how they appreciated getting OC Life each week, and what the magazine has contributed to the community over time.

These friends and many readers would also be aware of the battle Jackie and I have been fighting over the last couple of years after she was diagnosed with the fatal brain disease CJD. Back in early 2020, Jackie was given as little as four months to live, she fought that fight until February 9 this year before dying peacefully at our home in her sleep.

I had the privilege of caring for Jackie throughout her illness and although it was hard, very hard, both physically and emotionally, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

Our story, by some standards, has been amazing; but many people played a part, not just me. At the top of the list was God, who I know with certainty carried me in ways that are extremely hard to explain. We were very vulnerable on a number of fronts, so how I was able to keep it all going for so long physically and mentally, and not get sick is almost unfathomable, and I’ll let you try to imagine the emotional struggles that I had to deal with.

That part of our journey is over now, and Jackie is safe and at peace with her Lord and Saviour in Heaven. No more suffering for Jackie

whatsoever. I’ll miss her like crazy but God in his infinite love will no doubt help me through this next phase of my journey too, of that I’m certain.

Jackie was a beautiful lady, a superb wife, mother, and grandmother, she was a gentle person and always presented herself neat and tidy. For me, her main characteristics were service and love and I and her family, among many others, were the beneficiaries of these qualities.

I’m sure Jackie would want us all to celebrate her life, not mourn over her passing, and in so doing follow her example of serving others and loving others before self. I know that’s what I’m going to try and do more of.

Many people have touched Jackie’s and my life through this journey, and I think we may have touched others too. There’s many, many people to thank and I will endeavour to get around to as many as I can over coming weeks and months to do that.

For now, thanks Sweetheart for everything, in my eyes Jac, you were Simply the Best!

ORANGE MENS PROBUS NOTES — FEBRUARY 2022 With Booster shots now complete we enjoyed a much larger gathering than in January, so plans are firming up for our future activities. The Parkes trip is definitely on with twenty members nominating at the meeting and when you add wives, partners and girlfriends it should be a merry old time.

Transport to Parkes is by railway, and return by coach, giving two different views of the scenery, and lunch is planned at Parkes RSL Club; a short walk from the Railway Station. Your lunch and the $2.50 fare is the only cost for the day.

Mark your diary 9th March.

Details of how to get your tickets will be clarified at the 2nd March meeting; we plan to get us all together on the

train for a little jollity and fellowship. Phil Nokes will lead the singing!

GENERAL MEETING: Membership fee remains at $50 which includes $5 for morning tea, and OSMC generously donates the use of the room.

A minute’s silence was observed in respect of member Bob Honeysett who has passed away.

The AGM is coming up, so get your nominations in; we need an inspiring Management Committee.

We welcomed new members, Ian Davison and John Howie. Both are men of wide experience who will be an asset to Probus.

PROGRAM: Program Director, Brian

Coyne has an interesting lineup of speakers for future meetings. This week, Jeff File gave a most interesting talk on his now passionate topic – water for Orange. Jeff has had a most interesting career. Beginning by being Dux of Hurlstone Ag College from where he progressed into a career in Research with CSIRO, and Dept of Primary Industries in many places with leadership roles, including Trangie, Wagga, Yanco and Tocal.

Jeff’s most recent job was (before retirement) Director of Drought Relief, working directly for the Premier.

Particular interest was in the effect of drought on business.

He is critical of the Orange water

ORANGE CITY LIFE

situation, which is patently inadequate, and should have a 20-year program planned, including solar power, more connection by pipelines, reuse of wastewater and stormwater harvesting.

Next meeting’s speaker will be John Tancred who will, no doubt, have some revelations about his life’s career as a Barrister. In April we have Roger White who is Director of Communications, Stakeholder and Engagement for UGL, the company which has taken over from John Holland, to build the Inland Railway which is a massive construction project, and a bit controversial.

We meet next at OSMC at 10am, on Wednesday, 2nd March for fun and fellowship.

It’s funny how in 24hrs one’s response to something can change. On our way up the coast for a holiday, my husband and I joked about toilet paper shortages. Our amusement continued with my in-laws as we light heartedly continued to joke about “panic buying.”

Then we read about 3 confirmed cases in orange and KENAN MILHAM the gravity and seriousness of what was happening hit us - It got real.

Then events started to be cancelled, my churches youth group and kids’ program shortly followed and then we received the message that weekly church services would need to be suspended also.

If the severity of things hadn’t hit home before, they jolly well did now!

As I stood outside Aldi before the doors opened with my list ready to restock my pantry after being away, I pondered about the way God will return one day and prayed my hardest that people would get real about where they stood with Him and respond with the same level of urgency I was witnessing that morning. God is waiting for us to take Him seriously, are you ready?

THUMBS UP to Jill the teacher at Orange TAFE, for guiding (and a bit of pushing), to help get me through to completing my Diploma in Leadership and Management. You showed empathy during a trying time and your support was unquestionable. Thank you so much. Oh, and thanks for also liking my dress :) THUMBS UP to Jeff and his offsider from “JK Adams Roofing”, for doing a fantastic job cleaning out my gutters and installing leaf-guards on Thursday and Friday, February 10 and 11. Jeff was the only local tradie who actually returned my call and then turned up to do the job when he said he would. I've called other tradies for various jobs, and they either don't call back or don't turn up. I highly recommend Jeff and the quality of his work.

THUMBS DOWN to the real estate agents who don’t put prices on their listings. Please put the price to save everyone the time.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council who are going to put the sports precinct out near Bloomfield. Leave it alone, this great natural parkland that was used as a golf course. Keep it still working, and it would make a great recreational park. All the kangaroos there love it, but Council keeps working on it, and they keep getting hurt by the Orange people’s rejection.

THUMBS DOWN to the group of 12–13-yearolds that were pushing into queues at the “Funfair” and who verbally attacked a young mother who was only defending her child.

They swarmed around her like a pack of wasps. Their behaviour was disturbing to watch and shameful. It is sad to see that there is no respect for elders.

THUMBS UP to Orange City Life magazine.

Available every Thursday with all the news we need to know. I cannot live without it.

Thank you, Life!

THUMBS UP to Shane and Hayden from “Plumbcall”. Turned up before they said they would, were professional, and did a fantastic job at more than a reasonable price. Thanks again boys!

THUMBS DOWN to the drivers on Saturday, February 12, during the car show on Huntley Road who thought it was safer to swerve around me, instead of stopping and giving way to me, so that I could get out of my damned driveway!

It's hard enough to see as it is, with the traffic parked on either side of the road. Use some common courtesy and slow down and/or give way to people trying to exit their driveways.

THUMBS UP and God bless that kind lady who helped the man with a line of trolleys at the Woolworth North Orange entrance, by pulling the grocery trollies from the front on Tuesday, February 8 around midday.

A small help, but with great magnanimity!

THUMBS UP to Sherry, the only checkout operator working at Coles on Monday morning. In spite of a long queue, she was pleasant and efficient.

THUMBS DOWN

Life at present is awful, when we are trying to get along with the COVID-19 virus threat every day. I know I should say something positive about it.

Council road repair crew, who did a good repair job at Namatjira Crescent on Monday, February 14. Very much appreciated by the residents.
