The team took the chance to grab a selfie with the big guy late last week. It was quite painless considering the outrageous lists both Lindsey and Stedo provided…

On behalf of the entire OC Life team, Merry Christmas and have a cracking New Year.

May all the highs of 2015 seem like lows in 2016.

Best wishes and see you in a couple of weeks.

Mike Badman’s cartoons have also become a regular part of your OC Life week and although we’ve done similar things in the past, Lovin’ Local appeared a couple of months back with a fresh approach to telling you about great local products, businesses tradespeople etc. Each of these have, to date, proved quite popular and we will endeavour to keep bringing them to you.

FROM THE

And so another year comes to a close at the OC Life office, and it couldn’t have come at a better time, we are very keen for a spell after a big year of hard work and improvements to the magazine.

2015 saw us celebrating our 8th Birthday and we gave away a $10,000 prize in celebration. In true OC Life tradition, this was just one of several innovative things we did throughout 2015.

We also introduced our new Eats segment and at the same time expanded our ever popular Thumbs section. Recently, we started to take readers inside local Man Caves and spilled the beans on what some local blokes get up to in their own

With businesses in town now allowed to open on Boxing Day, in this issue we have put together a list of some of the businesses who will be open on December 26 and during what times. On the same page we have also listed the lucky winners of our recent Christmas competitions. A lot of the winners are already enjoying their prizes.

In this final issue for the year, we also thought a small tribute to our local Council was in order. Our Council does so much good yet cops a lot of criticism along the way. In true Christmas spirit we thought readers might like to read a bit more about the good things they do every day and have done during 2015.

Our last Looney Lotto winner for 2015 is Janine Romanczuk.

Good on you Janine! Don’t forget, Looney Lotto will be back on January 14 with double prizemoney to kick 2016 off.

On behalf of the owners Bob and Jackie Holland, myself and the whole team here, let me say a huge thank you to all those who have supported what we do here in so many ways and especially to those who have taken the time to call, write, email or send us feedback or accolades throughout the year.

It’s amazing how even a small amount of encouragement can lift a person or spur them on to greater heights. Our team here has received a river of encouragement this year and for that we say sincerely and whole-heartedly “thank you”.

Hope Santa is good to you and 2016 sees you achieve all that you wish for. My simple goal for 2016? I live in hope that 2016 will be the year I do not have to attend a funeral.

Outside of that, life will be good.

LOCALS HELPING LOCALS;

IT’S WHAT WE DO!

MANY OF YOU WILL BE FAMILIAR WITH ONE OR BOTH OF THE TWO CHAPS IN THE PHOTO. INDEED, YOU MAY EVEN BE AWARE OF THE BUSINESSES BOTH BRAD DRAPER AND JAMIE NEWMAN ARE INVOLVED WITH. Brad and Jamie are both proud Wiradjuri men, Orange locals and very successful at what they do. Both men have, over the years, been involved in local, various sporting circles and I consider myself fortunate enough to call them mates.

Brad’s company, Kenjarhy Solar has recently installed a 61kw solar system on the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service. All 227 panels!

Kenjarhy Solar was created as a vehicle for Indigenous communities to achieve employment and training outcomes that were being presented in the renewable energy sectors. It allows the company to have a real impact on communities and developing these initiatives.

Kenjarhy Solar are one of the few regional NSW based solar companies to be granted an exemption from the Australian Energy Regulator to sell alternative power to their clients. This essentially means they can sell power that they generate just like other energy retailers do but cheaper. A fact not lost on Jamie or the OAMS and something they were keen to take advantage of.

Jamie, as the CEO of OAMS says, “The savings we are making from the Solar panels gets invested back into OAMS. Initiatives such as these allow us to maintain our vision of providing a ‘quality whole of life’ approach to health care and services from

antenatal through to dental and a range of other allied health programs, all delivered in a culturally sensitive manner.”

Two local, Indigenous businesses that have joined hands to deliver commercial benefits back to the community; one local business supporting another local business that helps the wider community… doesn’t really get any better than that, does it?

For any further information on OAMS visit oams.net.au or call 6393 9000. For more on Kenjarhy, visit www.kenjarhy.com.au or call 6362 8308. JS

Orange Aboriginal Medical Service is situated in Gateway Crescent at Perc Griffith Way (opposite the trotting and go cart tracks).

The new facility houses OAMS Maternal and Infant Health team, enhanced Regional Dental Outreach team, Out of Home Care Project Officer and Coordinator from the Western Local Health District, Research Officers from Western Sydney University and University of Sydney, various medical students, BIla Muuji Regional GP Educator and OAMS Business Management, finance and Administration team.

This modern facility has a number of rooms and configurations that has made it a sought after space for meetings and small conferences – up to 50 people can be catered for in theatre style rooms with the latest presentation technology and ample parking facilities.

Due to the size of the land purchased to build this new facility, there are a further two additional stages designed which will maximise the space and further consolidate and enhance service delivery, education and training, workforce development and research focus.

Stage 2 will focus on GP led Primary and Allied Health Care services and Stage 3 will be a Health and Well-being centre, enabling exercise and activity sessions to chronically ill clients, preventative health programs and assistance in return to work programs for OAMS’ corporate partners At OAMS we focus on inclusion and invite ALL members of the Orange community to benefit from the OAMS health service. You do not have to be an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander to be an OAMS Client.

OAMS overall goal is helping to ‘Close the Gap’ in Indigenous health both locally and regionally.

Kenjarhy is committed to educating and training Aboriginal people to aspire to anything they believe they can be. “Believe Achieve Succeed” is an important part of the Kenjarhy employment process.

BELIEVE Believe in what you want to be. Anything is achievable.

ACHIEVE Achieve this through training, education and support.

SUCCEED Working and living a life you are proud of is success.

Education, training and sustainable employment are major contributors to overcoming the welfare cycle. Education and training is an area continually littered with costly failures and billions of dollars are wasted on training programs which prove pointless. Kenjarhy believe in training people for “real outcomes” and “real jobs” and also offering ongoing support to employers who engage Aboriginal employees.

Indigenous employment and economic development are vital to breaking the cycle of indigenous inequality. This is a commitment Kenjarhy has made to The Traditional owners of the land.

COMMENT

PHOTO BY GRACE JOHNS

WHAT A YEAR! I don’t know about you but 2015 has simply flown by.

F

rom an OC Life perspective it has been a year of changes and – as far as I’m concerned at least – huge improvements.

January saw us produce a lovely gloss cover and it was so well received we all pretty much forced Bob into getting on board the full-gloss train and after a few hiccups, we’ve hit upon a formula that, as a team, we are very proud of.

The move to gloss was just one of many changes – the lovely Lindsey Tilburg was hired as our Director of First Impressions and then Melise Coleman came on board to fill the substantially sized boots of Chris Bennetts. Leanne Kennewell was hired later in the year to complete our sales team. We also welcomed Grace Johns back into the fold on a part-time photography/ writing role and of course, Bob stepped back and handed me the reins!

With those ladies, I got very lucky; each of them have proven themselves valuable members of the team – despite rubbish taste in what they consider music.

Big thanks to our social photographers also, they’re the ones on the frontline getting it done when you’re enjoying a few frosty’s and sometimes it can be tough.

But they get the job done efficiently and without fuss; something I’m very thankful for! Keep an eye out here as we are so busy with our social stuff at the moment that we’ll be looking for one or two more social photography guys in the very near future…

I’d like to take the chance to recognise the influence both Chris and Maryanne Taouk have had on the direction I have tried to take the magazine. They were both awesome at what they did and any changes I have made have all been with those two in mind… I have occasionally

Orange City Life caught up with local volunteering angel Heather Griffith recently. Heather is the golden hat volunteer at the Orange Christmas Lunch tomorrow. The free lunch is open to everyone, and is possible thanks to the many volunteers that help out on the day and in the lead up to Christmas Day. Heather volunteered at the first Christmas Lunch 17 years ago, and will be helping organise volunteers this year.

“We went to the first lunch 17 years ago and volunteered as a family, hosting a table. Things are run differently now, as it’s a bigger production. My job is to encourage volunteers, the tiniest job is appreciated.

“The lunch is open to anyone, there might be people who are lonely and want to chat to others, parents whose children are away for Christmas, or anyone who wants to join.

“I love to volunteer because I think we get so much in this life and I think there’s a time when you give.”

The Orange Christmas Lunch is on at the Orange Function Centre, those who wish to attend as guests or volunteers are welcome to show up on the day, the lunch begins at noon tomorrow (Christmas Day!).

WORDS BY JAMIE STEDMAN

ignored their voices, but their ideas and ideals are always a consideration. We don’t hear from either of them much but trust they are both chasing down their dream with vigour.

I would like to thank and acknowledge the many contributors we’ve had over the past year. The Writers Forum concept simply exploded and unfortunately, due to space restraints, I’ve not always been able to give it the space I would like. That opportunity did however, unearth a couple of very talented people who have become quite regular contributors.

We’ve establish new friendships and solidified old ones. Our sales angels drive the magazine; without them, we wouldn’t be here.

Please keep this in mind when considering any advertising.

We are at your disposal!

One of the things I’m most passionate about is personality, I want readers to be able to connect with us, whether it be through our product and what we do or through being personally available. We are always up for a chat (although, most Mondays, I can be hard to ‘find’. It’s a busy day!), so if you wish to say hi, please drop in.

We can, and often do, make last minute changes either to advertising or stories and as such have to move things around; thanks to those people affected for your patience. Often you don’t know, but I can assure you the team is scrambling behind the scenes to squeeze you in!

Remember, this is YOUR community magazine, without your input we don’t hear about certain events or opportunities that are happening. If there is something you think we might wish to cover or someone you just want to see get their due recognition; ring, email or pop in.

Big hugs for Christmas and see you all in the New Year,

Santa he t s t i Vis ren’s Child rd Wa

Last week, OC Life captured some timeless images as Santa dropped by the Hospital to visit the kids in the children’s ward. As always, Santa came bearing gifts, and the children were ecstatic to unwrap them to find teddy bears, chocolates and even some bracelet making kits.

Nurse Unit Manager, Luke Marks said, “The Children have received a visit from Santa this morning and he has brought lots of smiling faces with him, they were very excited.”

Before Santa ran off to deliver some more happiness and fly back to the North Pole, he looked at me and said, “It is so great to be able to do this!” handing Kiara the last present, with a cuddle and a smile Kiara said to Santa, “I will give my wish list to one of the nurses to give to you!”

A very big thankyou to the Orange Lions Club for ensuring Santa was able to get there on time with gifts to share! MC

MENTAL HEALTH HUB FOR ORANGE MEMBER FOR ORANGE ANDREW GEE HAS ANNOUNCED AFTERCARE AS THE SUCCESSFUL TENDERER OF A $2.3 MILLION CONTRACT TO DELIVER AN INNOVATIVE MENTAL HEALTH HUB IN ORANGE. Mr Gee said Aftercare will provide Orange’s new LikeMind Centre, which will co-locate triage, assessment, care coordination and discharge planning services.

“By bringing together local partners that specialise in mental health, drug and alcohol, physical health and social needs, along with the Western NSW Local Health District, we’re making sure people get access to the integrated help they need,” Mr Gee said.

GABI’S WORLD

Merry Christmas AUS L C A SANT

Age: Timeless Status: Married to Mrs Claus What’s your favourite time of Year?

Christmas time and the weeks leading up to Christmas What’s your busiest day?

Christmas Eve is my busiest day, that’s when I work out where all the presents have to go (who has been naughty/who has been nice) and get busted filling the stockings.

What is do you enjoy about your job?

The joy I see on the children’s faces when they receive the present they have asked for. Also, the suit; it’s awesome and expandable which comes in handy when one has to consume as many cookies and glasses of milk as I do.

To relax and unwind, I like to...

Sit in my arm chair with my feet up with a hot chocolate, but I can’t do that until after Christmas.

What are your hobbies?

I love to check lists, sometimes twice.

Otherwise, toy making, testing the new sleighs and looking after the reindeer.

How would your best friend describe you?

Friendly, jolly, giving of my time. The elves seem to like me. As do the reindeer The theme song for my life would be...

Jingle Bells When I woke up this morning my first thought was...

Ho Ho Ho, another day of Santa’s work to go!

My first car was a ... (Model and colour) A Sleigh. It was red.

My favourite holiday destination is ...

The South Pole

It’s Christmas Eve, as you’re reading this I’m probably drinking Eggnog by the fire and singing Christmas carols while watching the snow fall gracefully outside with my family...jokes, obviously it won’t be snowing and my family doesn’t behave like they’re in a classic Christmas movie but we do have our traditions...unlike most families though, some of our traditions are a little unique.

Christmas Eve is actually pretty stereotypical, the whole fam bundles into the Tarago and off we go to church for Mass. My nieces participate in the nativity play just as I did when I was a kid (once I had the privilege of playing the part of the donkey which my sister loved because she was Mary so insisted she was allowed to sit on me) and we sing along to the religious kind of Christmas Carols.

Unfortunately this means I don’t get the opportunity to bust out ‘All I Want for Christmas is You’ ala Mariah Carey but it’s fun none the less. After church we wander down to one of the two pubs in town for some dinner and drinks with about 80% of the towns folk but we always make sure we’re home well before Santa’s ETA. Christmas Day is when it gets fun.

We have a rule in the house that we can’t look in our stocking or open presents until everyone in the house is up, so it’s normally around 6am when my niece jumps on me screaming that Santa has been and gone. Even though I’m 27 Santa still stuffs my stocking which is awesome,

WITH GABI ELGOOD

so up I jump and off we go to check out what goodies await. These days the majority of my stocking is filled with undies and socks but there is always some kind of toy weapon hidden within; one year it was a potato gun, another was a nerf rocket and the best yet was a flying slingshot monkey that screamed while he zoomed through the air. The majority of the time we have no idea what the contraption is so Mum’s always on hand to demonstrate. What you have to understand is, my Mum is a very composed woman, she has a killer sense of humour but isn’t one to partake in family wrestling matches or silly games...with the exception of Christmas Day. Mum turns manic and the lounge room turns into a war zone with us hiding behind furniture and Mum cackling in the centre of the room, armed and dangerous.

Once a treaty is agreed upon and weapons are lowered, normally due to exhaustion, we go about our morning opening pressies and eating chocolate for breakfast. The rest of the day is then pretty standard, a big family lunch followed by a food coma nap break, afternoon session of playing with the kids and their new toys, visits from a range of different relatives, a late light dinner, maybe a Christmas movie and then bed with a huge smile on our faces.

No matter what you’re doing for Christmas and what your traditions are, I hope you have a fantastic day filled with festivities, family, food and most of all bucket loads of love and laughter. Have a great holiday, 2016 isn’t far away as scary as that sounds, and I can’t wait to catch you then! xxxxxx Oh and just a hint because I’m feeling generous; if you haven’t bought your Christmas presents yet and the only thing open is the servo, a box of chocolates will go a lot further than a teddy in a tube! You’re welcome.

If you have a question for Gabi, send us an email at reception@oclife.com.au and we’ll forward it to her.

WRITERS’ W O R DT SH IF SR O WM E RE EKA D E R S

The First Christmas Gift SOMETIMES THE MOST FAMILIAR STORIES ARE NOT QUITE AS THEY SEEM.

BY PAUL OWENS Waltzing Matilda is an iconic Aussie song, a bush ballad once sung by nearly every school kid. We know the tune and words but many of us are probably a little hazy on the event behind it. So here are the details.

Banjo Paterson wrote the lyrics in 1895. The song grew out of a rowdy shearers strike in Queensland the previous year. It seems the shearers got a little carried away at the time, firing rifles and pistols in the air, burning a woolshed to the ground and killing some sheep in the process. The squatter (or local farmer), no doubt irate at the loss of his woolshed, called in three troopers (or police) to give chase to one of the shearers. At a place called Combo Waterhole, the shearer, Samuel Hoffmeister apparently shot himself dead rather than be taken into custody. A later investigation seemed to cast doubt on that

version of events, claiming the events were ‘more like a gangland assassination than a suicide’. It’s this event that Banjo Paterson put to verse in Waltzing Matilda. We know the song but get a little scratchy on the details of the story.

It’s a little like that with the events of the first Christmas. Most of us enjoy Christmas.

It’s a time to enjoy family, to watch the eyes of our kids light up as they open presents, feast on a traditional European style hot meal on what might be one of the hottest days of the year and enjoy a few days off at the end of another year. We know the holiday but might be a little scratchy on the events of the first Christmas.

The first Christmas is wrapped up in the birth of baby boy around 2015 years ago. The boy was born in Bethlehem, now a large town in the modern day country of Israel. But in those days it was a backwater of the massive Roman Empire.

His parents, Mary and Joseph, had travelled about 100 kilometres from home to take their

first Christmas finishes with a collection of shepherds and wise men turning up to see this baby; this saviour and King.

So the true story of the first Christmas is not of baby Jesus, meek and mild. But of a baby born for a job – to save his people from their sins.

That’s what the grown up Jesus said of himself; that he came ‘to seek and to save the lost’.

Christmas in Australia is a time for gifts. We all enjoy giving gifts and seeing the response from people who truly appreciate the gift. The true story of the first Christmas is the story of gift giving. God was giving us Jesus to seek and to save all of us who are lost in our relationship to God. And according to Jesus that’s all of us.

Christmas and New Year are good times to be thinking about what we want to change in our lives for the coming year. Maybe this year can be one when we all think seriously about the first Christmas; especially about the first Christmas gift. Perhaps it’s time to look into the first Christmas and not to remain a little scratchy on the details.

part in a census of the entire Roman world.

Since they could find no other place to stay, he was born in an animal shelter and placed in a feed trough. Hardly a significant birth, or so it seemed.

But a few other markers show us the importance of this baby boy. An angel appeared to his mother Mary, at the time. If that didn’t get your attention, then the message certainly would. The angel told Mary that she would be having a baby. Because she wasn’t yet married and hadn’t slept with her soon to be husband she was a little shocked at this news. The rest of the angel’s message would be no less shocking. This baby would be a king.

And he would be a king that would rule forever over a kingdom that would never end. Quite spectacular news for a young lady about to be married to a man from Nazareth; a town that some people thought nothing good would ever come from. And this baby would not just be a king. An angel also appeared to Joseph to tell him that this baby was to be named Jesus – because he would save his people from their sins. A baby with a job description. That’s what the name Jesus means – God saves. The

THE WORD OF ORANGE

Ba-Boww (the strike noise)

W W O B BA COUNCIL AMALGAMATION

My last column of 2015 is a wrap of whacky things – a zany year for sure.

column – the most absurd thing for me over the course of 2015 is the fact there’s now a real chance ol’ Donald Trump might get to hang that toupe of his on the little We have been constantly flabbergasted flagpole in the office of the White House. by the awful events that continue to Oh my, only in America. To quote one of my unfold in our world, and I make a point of favourite new musical artists of the year, a small one that happened just last week.

Courtney Barnett, who states it beautifully As we prepared dinner, the TV in her song Pedestrian at Best … “I show ‘Family Feud’ was on think you’re a joke, but I don’t in the background (OK, find you very funny”. no judging, just read I read with interest that on …). The question now Bacon is gonna kill I th i n k was something similar me along with everything a y donjoke, b ou’re to “We surveyed else I love. As Homer very’t find ut I 100 people and the Simpson says, Hmmmm funn you top 10 answers are … bacon. y... on the board – Name Were you one of those something that reminds people who helped “Cats Make you of Christmas”. Well, the You Laugh Out Loud” become the answers came through thick and fast from TV ratings hit of 2015? Shame on you. the teams as they attempted to match Now that Justin Beiber has had a few answers from the 100 people surveyed – hits on the charts, it seems everyone has Santa was number one and there’s no big forgiven him and forgotten about all his surprise there. Christmas tree was #2. Also brattish behaviour over the past 5 or 6 getting a mention were carols, Christmas years. I guess if Nick Kyrios or Bernard food, flashing lights, tinsel, holidays, and Tomic wins the Australian Open, the presents. fickle media will suddenly embrace them Disappointingly, the answer ‘time with both and all will be forgiven for their family’ only came in at number 6, if I’m indiscretions too – not in my book. remembering correctly. But the biggie of I know they say ‘Dumping the PM’ had to them all was the fact that the guy born in happen – but now on both sides they’re all Bethlehem on Dec 25th didn’t even rate just as bad as each other. Now the guy on a mention on the top 10 list of Christmas the other team who wants to be PM gets things. The families playing the show didn’t caught driving and using his mobile phone mention anything in this area as part of – and then he blew it off by saying he was their responses either. They would have ‘genuinely sorry’. Ba-bowww. received a ‘strike’ if they’d said it (go on, I live in hope that in 2016 we won’t be make the ba-boww noise in your head) but bombarded by ads for those ‘little loans’ really, no mention at all? A great line from to tide us over. But whilst we also continue my favourite movie ever The Shawshank to get smashed by gambling ads in the Redemption, says “the world’s gone and media, these two things will go hand in got itself in a great big hurry” – maybe if hand, I reckon. we extrapolate the Family Feud survey on Have a wonderful Christmas and thanks Christmas this quote looks a bit too real at for reading in 2015. Enjoy the turducken. I’ll the moment. try to be less cynical and a bit funnier next Enough seriousness in the Christmas year, too. Cheers, PT

It seems the old guard that, which used to be called the “back room boys” or the “faceless men”, is still running policy for the city centric Liberal dominated NSW State Government.

The overall decision to decrease the total number of Local Government Councils by forced amalgamation across the State is becoming quite clearly a case of applying a formula of “one suit fits all”. What it is believed will work for city councils will therefore also work for councils in Rural, Regional and Remote NSW, about which the Liberal component of the NSW Government appears to know little.

What is more alarming is that there are two seats held by the National Party of which two, Dubbo (Troy Grant) and Bathurst

the people who live in the other (Paul Toole), are both Ministers council areas of Cabonne and in the Baird Government, and Blayney once amalgamated into obviously support the policy. the Orange Super Council.

On the other hand Andrew Gee It would be interesting to who holds the seat of Orange know the attitude of the other for the National Party staunchly National Party members opposes any move who hold seats in the to create one NSW Government and of the Super whether they are to Councils, Ora n follow Andrew Gee’s Orange/ pop a lage ha lead.

Cabonne/ s u r will lationge It would appear that Blayney domcomplewhich forced amalgamations in the inate tely are a “foregone Central West, ... conclusion” and the by forced only method of protest now amalgamation, for will be through the ballot box. which he is to be congratulated.

It needs to be remembered What is not realised when voting is not compulsory, what is dealing with these councils compulsory is having ones name is the fact that the areas ticked on the roll on polling day. involved are enormous and the population is spread thinly and found, as is the case with Yours sincerely, Cabonne Council, in 17 villages.

Congratulations Senior Constable Smith!

Locals Ron and Jan Smith had reason to feel the very proud parents after their youngest son Granton took out a prestigious Police Service Award recently in Sydney.

The 2015 Sabine Altmann Award for Domestic Violence Practitioner of the Year was presented to Orange’s Leading Senior Constable Granton Smith by NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione in Sydney last week. Granton was one of 18 nominees and then 3 finalists before taking out the award. His proud parents sent this photo for us to share with readers. Well done Granton!

WE’RE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNERS IN OUR TWO CHRISTMAS COMPETITIONS

WHAT’S IN THE BOX The first correct entry we pulled from the box belonged to Tim Dingwall. Tim (pictured) correctly guessed a set of knives which is near enough to a Knife Block. Tim was delighted to hear he had won the $500 prize of a quality kitchen knife set which included a set of steak knives. Happy Christmas Tim!

CHRISTMAS SWEEP

In this one, we drew the following winners from all entries received and then conducted a sweep to determine which $100 prize each person won. We then conducted another draw from among these winners and for that person, we added a further $500 shopping voucher to spend where the winner liked.

Our major winner was Dianne Brooke who won a $100 gift voucher from Orange Furniture One and a further $500 to spend as she wishes. Dianne entered the competition at Price Attack in Orange City Centre.

OTHER $100 WINNERS WERE –

GREAT BLUNDER! Occasionally even the best of intentions go wrong and last week my good intentions did just that.

I mentioned a fabulous wrap that I tried at the Greengate Takeaway and what a great business it is.

Problem is, the business I was referring to is called the Greengate Sandwich Bar not the Greengate Takeaway. The Greengate Takeaway is a different business altogether and located just around the corner from the Sandwich Bar. Boss Kerrie from the Sandwich Bar came into our office last week to thank me for the nice write up and to point out my mistake. She was very gracious and we had a good laugh about it. I assured her that what I wrote was random and sincere and she fully deserved it. I should have also explained that I’m 68 and prone to having senior’s moments.

COFFEE SCENE

GOOD BUSINESS! Although not a business that the majority of people would visit regularly, Furney’s Stock Feeds in McLachlan Street is a very well run and good business none the less.

The store sells a huge range of pet and stock feeds but also has an impressive shop area where they sell a range of veterinary products, horse gear, Akubra Hats, Baxter Boots and some clothing items. The Furney’s name has been a highly respected name in the western area for a very long time, mainly in the Dubbo area, the Orange store gives folk in this area access to a similar standard that Furney’s customers further out west and north enjoy. Definitely one for your ‘must visit’ list, especially if you have pets .

WORTH TRYING! A local restaurant where my wife and I enjoy an occasional meal is Mary Jane’s upstairs in Kelly’s Rugby Hotel. For our taste and budget we find Mary Jane’s provides a delightful experience.

The staff are always nice, the décor is cosy, the meals are superbly prepared and presented and we consider the value for money excellent. During our latest visit we had their curly calamari and king prawn salad as entrees and I must say Wow! Mary Jane’s is worth trying for lunch or dinner sometime!

GOOD DEALS!

NICE CHERRIES!

It’s cherry season and there are endless places to buy this season’s cherries. One place I picked some up some really nice ones last week was from a stand outside Orange High School on the highway. They sell for $8 a kilo and also offer a neat small box for $10 that holds 1.3 kg. I love cherries!

>>If it’s time to get the family pet dog or cat vaccinated Mulberry Lane Veterinary Clinic in Moulder Street is offering $10 off the cost until January 22 next year. It’s a coupon offer when you cut out and present their ad that appeared in OC Life last week (Dec 17th) but I’m sure if you missed the ad and mention OC Life they’ll still give you the discount. If in doubt call 6360 3071 and ask. >>Today is December 24th, so if you want to “catch” these offers for Christmas, you’re going to have

THUMBS WATCH This Thumbs up appeared last week and shows that there are still people out there who put others interests ahead of their own, and also people willing to public acknowledge such kindness.

“Thumbs up to Nathan Franklin who went out of his way and came to the rescue with jumper cables in hand when our car battery went dead. Cheers to you good sir!”

TRADIE CORNER

A long established coffee shop that continues to deliver a great experience for its customers is Café Latte in Summer Street.

Great coffee, great atmosphere and an excellent selection on the extensive menu makes Café Latte a favourite for many. They open early Monday to Saturday for coffee or breakfast and stay open to around 4 each day for coffee, snacks, cakes, meals, etc. and Boss Aaron Wright also adds to the overall experience simply by being such a nice bloke.

His cheery disposition is refreshing, his sense of humour sometimes needs work however.

Not exactly a tradie, more of a service, but RJ’s Driving School is worth a mention. Ray has been advertising his business in OC Life for several years and although I can’t tell you much about his driving school, I can tell you that dealing with him as a customer suggests he’s a top bloke. He’s been doing it for many years and I often see him and his car out in the street with a student behind the wheel so obviously people trust him. With a recent round of school leavers and the holidays upon us, a lot of families may be looking at booking into a driving school and if you are, I heartily suggest you talk to Ray. His number is 0400 755 930.

CROSSPURPOSES WITH BOB HOLLAND

Good question!

Easter and Christmas are times when we hear more about Christian things like Jesus, sins, forgiveness, grace, Heaven and so on.

The reason being that the two greatest ever Christian events are celebrated at these times. At Christmas, it’s the birth of Jesus and at Easter it’s the death of Jesus and his miraculous return to life.

At the centre of both celebrations is Jesus why he was born, who he is, what he did on Earth, why he died, what it all means for us and so on.

Perhaps a question often asked by Christians will help us cut to the heart of the

matter. That question is “If you died tonight, where would you wake up tomorrow...in Heaven or Hell?”

It’s a very confronting question and one that has caused many people to open a Bible to find out exactly what it says on the matter.

Fact is, the Bible has a lot to say on this issue and when you read it, the bottom line is this - if you haven’t personally and sincerely asked Jesus to forgive your sins and then made him King in your life, you won’t go to Heaven.

The Bible puts it this way “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (Heaven).”

John 3:16

COUNCIL RESPONSIBILITIES

salutes

It’s your typical day off - it’s not even lunchtime and you’ve already been for a swim at the pool, enjoyed a walk through your local park, and are heading home, riding along the roads and bike paths. You call into the library, borrow some books and CDs and check out what’s on this weekend at the theatre.....

Continuing home, you pass a game of footy at the local sports field, and nearby people are making use of the BBQ facilities to cook up a quick lunch, while kids play in the playground.

It’s an everyday story that demonstrates just a small part of what Orange City Council does for you and your family. The range of services provided by councils varies from place to place depending on local community needs, population size and other factors.

Services that Orange City Council is responsible for include:

▲

OUR COUNCIL ON A GREAT YEAR

▲

OC Life

EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT A VITAL ROLE OUR COUNCIL PLAYS IN KEEPING OUR CITY FUNCTIONING EACH DAY, BUT DO WE REALLY APPRECIATE HOW BIG THE JOB ACTUALLY IS? WORDS BY BOB HOLLAND To round off 2015, we thought a small tribute to our hard working local Council was in order, mainly to remind us just how much they do for us on a day to day basis, but also to show those who work there, that despite the constant criticism that is levelled at the Council by a minority of people and often through the media,

that most of us are very appreciative and proud of what they do each day to build and maintain our beautiful and colourful City.

We hope you enjoy reading a bit of behind the scenes information about our Council and a reminder of some of the great things, highlights if you prefer, they’ve done during the last year or so.

• Town planning and building assessment • Economic development • Food safety inspections • Dog and cat registrations and pounds • Pest and weed control • Road construction and maintenance • Footpath construction and maintenance • Waste collection • Stormwater services • Parking regulations • Sporting fields • A public swimming pool • Theatre and Community Function Centre • Cemetery • Art Gallery • Library • Child Care Centres • Street cleaning • Youth, elderly, disabled and migrant support services • Recycling • Tourist information • Parks, reserves and picnic areas • Caravan park • Airport • Festivals and events • Food safety inspections • Water and waste water (sewerage)

SANDY: The playing surface of Wade Park cops a beating throughout the sporting year. When a new layer of couch turf was rolled out onto the oval, a layer of sand was added as a temporary measure to protect the grass from the harsh Winter frosts.

GLENROI house

GLENROI HOUSE, SITUATED IN BATHURST ROAD OPPOSITE WHAT IS NOW THE ENTRANCE TO KINROSS WOLAROI SCHOOL, WAS ONCE THE GRAND HOME OF THE BOWEN FAMILY.

Maurice Bowen, a native of Wales, established his tannery in Bathurst Road in the 1860s and had the house built nearby for his large family.

The tannery, which produced, among other things, boots and

shoes, was a major employer in Orange and even had its own football team. One of the team’s stars was Chris McKivat, who went on to play Ruby Union and Rugby League for Australia.

Mr Bowen was also responsible

WHATKIDSSAY

for the building of Bowen Terrace, also in Bathurst Road.

In later years Glenroi House became a guest house.

It was eventually bought by a motel whose owners had it demolished. McDonalds now

stands just to the right of where Glenroi House used to be.

Orange and District Historical Society holds a work day at Heritage Cottage (148 March Street) each Wednesday from 10am to 4pm 9 with a lunch break from 12-1.30pm). Members are available to answer enquiries at this time (closed during January).

THE FIRST 4 ON THE 4LOOR OF 2016 IS TAKING PLACE ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 2 AND MAKING THEIR OFFICIAL DEBUT WILL BE ORANGE DUO THE OTHER SIDE.

10 912 Dear Downtown Future Husband

Orange is getting a big treat after Christmas when Big Splash Water World comes to town!

Big Splash Water World claims to be the world’s biggest inflatable waterslide. It’s about 17 metres high and 55 metres long, and comprises of three slides - this means it can do 500 to 1000 rides per hour! For those that aren’t adrenalin junkies, there are a variety of smaller slides.

This portable slide will be slipping into Orange on Boxing Day until January 3 and will be located at Orange Showground. Tickets are available to purchase online currently, but if you want to buy them on the day remember that they don’t have

eftpos facilities, so you’ll have to bring cash! Most tickets are for 3 hours of unlimited rides, but you’ll want to make sure to arrive at the beginning of a three hour session.

Kids under four are allowed to ride on the triple dipper slide, but only with an adult sliding with them. Otherwise there are smaller children friendly slides as well.

There will be a variety of food stalls at the showground, as well as seating and shade.

To buy tickets, and for more information on session times, you can head to www. bigsplashwaterworld.com.

So many favourite ‘goods’ throughout 2015.

I always like the local ones. This year saw the announcement of a rectangular sporting precinct announced by council. Not everyone agrees with the need for this, but it has to happen. We can’t expect to be taken seriously for large scale sporting events if we can’t cater appropriately. In years to come the naysayers will have their tune changed, mark my words.

We’ve hosted some A League matches and now an NRL PreSeason match is set down for February. I can only imagine the work that goes on behind the scenes to secure such things and the ability to “sell” a brand new facility will help.

One thing I’m extremely hopeful for is the securing of Mountain Bike Tracks for the Mount. Quite recently, I was privy to a conversation between two of the industry’s most respected track designers. The two guys work for World Trail and have been commissioned to build tracks across the globe. It was great to meet these guys but what blew me away was their enthusiasm for the region from a cycling perspective.

The quote that sucked me in the most was “we’ve built tracks in 25 countries and nowhere has the diversity, the terrain or the potential of Mount Canobolas.”

The two guys weren’t talking to me as a journo (probably because I’m not!) but merely we were chatting about what an awesome prospect the Mount is for the sport of Mountain Biking. One of them then went on to say “nowhere else has the established food, wine and coffee culture you guys do. If we get this right, there are a world of possibilities there for this town to benefit from.”

The ‘knock-on effect’ of building world ... I HOPE TO BRING class facilities is attracting world class YOU A LOT MORE competitions and of course the competitors!

The cycling culture is growing; there will ABOUT THIS IN THE be between 3500 – 5000 people visiting NEW YEAR ... the region at the back of February for the National BMX championships in Bathurst and our track is the one they’ll be training on. Very soon, from what I am told, that facility will be ready to go also. These two disciplines have the potential to improve the fortunes of the third one, the Roadies. Can you imagine a purpose built road/track around the back of the Lake? I can dream can’t I? And all this stuff needs personnel… Jobs secured!

I hope to bring you a lot more about this in the new year but I am impressed that the council has at least gotten the best in the business here to strategies over something that could really put this place on the map as a ‘must-ride’ venue globally.

The Warriors War Cry Welcome to Edition #16 Christmas is upon us and the Warriors have finished off the year with two wins, a loss and a tie to finish 2015.

At this stage of the season it could be said we are in a positive position across all senior and junior grades with First grade in 3rd, Seconds are 1st, Thirds are 5th, and Cent Cup are 4th.

Our junior sides have been performing exceptionally well and with the current performances and results, the Warriors future is safe. U11’s Bradman’s are 7th, U12’s Benaud’s are 1st with the Hookes team 5th, U13 Warriors are 1st with the Millers 3rd and Tigers 6th and U14’s are placed 5th.

Some highlights for the season so far: Seniors top run scorers are SkipperRoundBoundy (241), Ben Hazzard (208) and Shaun Churchill (207).

Wicket getter’s go to Jay Shah (15), Shane Powyer (14) and everyone’s favourite bear, Jackson Coote (9). In the juniors, our top performers with the bat are Caleb Toms (237), Dylan Ryan (165) and Charlie Harris (145). Chief wicket takers are Thomas Anderson (23, with a double hattrick), Ethan Wilson (13) and Harry McGregor (11). Great work lads, you’ve given the rest of us something to chase.

Print Now…… Apologise later!!!!!

Santa and his Helpers Being Christmas time you can’t help but think who would make a great fill-in for Santa and his elfish helpers should a replacement be chosen from the Warriors outfit. So if choosing Santa and his helpers via a reality style TV program there

would be hot competition from several Warriors.

Lets look a the contenders: The attributes needed are large round tummys, rosey red cheeks, a deep gruff voice to call out Ho Ho Ho, and a caring warm personality who over indulges in the offering of cookies, cakes, beers, rum or brandys – indeed food and drink of any kind.

So from the Warriors who could it be?

Well, let’s have a look at the Roundness (conveniently, we don’t have to look far as most of these chaps can be seen from the moon…) we have Jas ‘Grimace’ Corby, Cpt RoundBoundy, Mick ‘Hamburgular’ Corby, Adam ‘big red’ Cowden, FatMatFindlay, Buckers, Papa Smurf Findlay, Coopsey and lastly Seiby. Plenty of contenders, lots of roundness! Each of them capable of punching out a ho, ho, ho when necessary so the gruff voice seems covered.

Warm and Caring? That attribute’s a bit tougher to find among this lot, however, assuming they are all easily bribed by the promise of food – and obviously this is the case – getting them to ‘play nice’ for one evening wouldn’t be too hard.

Now for the Elves… Clearly, the best ‘adult’ Elf we have to offer would certainly be Steven BarFly Sharp. Just to make sure he wasn’t alone, we could let him grab a couple of similar sized Warriors from the under 11’s to help out for the big event.

So there you go folks, fear not tomorrow night; should something happen to Santa, the Warriors have plenty of lads that can step in to help-out

and they were able to agree that the date for our Presentation Day at The Parkview Hotel is Sunday 3rd April 2016. Lock this into your diary or schedule and make sure you are available for one of the great days that makes being a Warrior very special.

Junior Carnival BBQ

Tuesday 12th January the Warriors are again taking on the challenge of hosting the BBQ duties at the Central West Junior Cricket Carnival. This is a big fundraiser for the club and many Warriors are required to assist in cooking and serving to make this event a continued success. Let Round Boundy know of your intention to help-out.

Meat Raffle Mania

Are you a carnivore? Do you like to win? Well, the Friday meat raffles are for you. Come down to the Parkview hotel to get your tickets and enjoy a refreshment, you never know you might just go home with a mighty meat tray from the great boys from Farmgate Butchery.

50 Years of the Warriors

The Warriors are in the process of sorting the 50th birthday celebrations. If you have any input or would like to get your name on the list, then contact Secretary Boundy via the club email orangecitycricket@gmail.com get in the loop now and be ready for future announcements.
