THE BELLS’ SONG Poem by Irene E. Cook (1916-2010)

I hear the rhapsody of bells This joyous Christmas morn; They’re ringing out the old sweet song, How Saviour Christ was born.

To Bethlehem so long ago Came Mary, Virgin Maid; In a stable He was born and in a manager laid.

A seraph of the Lord appeared In bright celestial light; The shepherds heard the angels’ song; A King was born that night.

He gave His Life that we might live Enamoured of His Thrall, Blessed by the love that knows no bounds.

A love that conquers all.

He was and is the King of Kings, Immortal and Divine: And may the peace of Christmastide Our mortal hearts entwine.

I hear the joyous peal of bells, A melody at dawn; They’re ringing out the song of love How Saviour Christ was born.

WE CAPTURE THE SPIRIT OF ORANGE

CHRISTMAS! WHAT A MAGIC TIME OF THE YEAR FOR MOST PEOPLE. I must admit, I have mixed feelings about Christmas. Being of late 1940’s vintage I grew up at a time when Christmas was celebrated quite differently to the way it is today, and the marketers hadn’t gotten their teeth into everything.

Probably the one sentiment from back then that I feel we should never have done away with was “it’s the thought that counts”. How I wish that beautiful notion was still widely practiced today, and uncontrolled materialism hadn’t overtaken it. Sadly, it is what it is as they say, and we all have to work with it.

I do still love the Christmas movies and I love that children still get to enjoy the magic of Christmas.

I also love to see it when the true spirit of Christmas, the giving to and caring of others is evident, and thankfully we still see a lot of this. These are, what I believe, Christmas is all about and I sincerely hope that your Christmas has generous servings of such feelings and sentiments, they still are the best ones in my book. My wife and I are spending Christmas

with our daughter this year, she’s hosting us, something that hasn’t happened for a long time, due to her living Sydney. I’m actually looking forward to Christmas this year, more than I have for several years, it’s always good but as I said, I’ve had mixed feelings about the way Christmas is played by families in recent years. If you’re thinking Gringe, it’s OK, it must sound like that, but I assure that’s not my problem.

Orange City Life’s mission is to bring out the best in people, all while capturing the true spirit of our wonderful region.

>> This is our last issue for 2018, we’ll be back again on January 17 and I for one am really looking forward to a bit of rest, it’s been a challenging year on many fronts.

Orange City Life

Val Myott Curves Over the last couple of years, OC Life has chosen a project and made it our Community Project for that year. In 2017 it was a Well of Hope where we were able to sink a well in a place called Hopely in Zimbabwe, where they had no clean water. Last year it was the Miracle School in Pakistan where we helped feed poor families who worked as slaves in brick kilns. In 2019, I want to do something closer to home. It’ll be called ‘Put Orange First’ and my wish is that by year’s end, more people will appreciate how valuable our small businesses are to our city and that support and loyalty for them will increase significantly.”

My wish is for everybody to focus on their health in 2019, this encompasses my own family and myself, and everyone who comes to Curves.

Good health equals longevity and we should all have a wonderful 2019.

Orange is a beautiful city I have lived here for 40 years now and my wish is that everybody lives harmoniously, and everybody is very successful in whatever they do because that will affect Orange in the long term.”

My wishes for 2019 are (my wife has been going through Cancer) so I am wishing her a speedy recovery but also everyone who is ill. My wishes for everybody is for everyone to be the best person they can be, I think if everybody shared that little bit of kindness to everybody and lent that helping hand to someone in need, the world would be a pretty good place.

For Orange, I hope people continue to support local businesses, we are only as strong as the support that we provide. Be able to support and buy local where you can, really embrace we live in such a regional area, extend a welcoming hand to our tourists and always on sell another business, make sure you let them know about a winery that is open, or a show that is on.”

Robert McKean

People are often hassled by the struggles of life, whether it is just day to day busyness or larger issues of life. If we had more peace and contentment, we would be better able to face these issues.

My wish, in the words of a traditional Celtic blessing, is: “Deep peace of the quiet earth to you, Deep peace of the shining stars to you, Deep peace of the gentle night to you, Deep peace of the Son of Peace to you.”

WORDS BY Kester Hamilton

THE TRUE WONDER OF CHRISTMAS Looking back on 2018 it’s been another hard, dark year – at least in parts.

Personally, I’ve worked through unemployment, different family and relational struggles, and griefs over losses. In my role here at OCL as a Sales Representative I’m out and about talking with business owners and other people in the community and I’ve been hearing tales of slow business and a depressed economy, of people really struggling through the

into our darkness deeply and personally - so that he might do away with it.

One of Jesus’ best friends, the Apostle John, described Jesus’ coming in exactly these terms. See what he has to say at the start of his biography of Jesus: In him was life, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it.

John tells us that in the birth of Jesus something has entered the world that pushes back the darkness. In fact, Jesus has victory over Darkness – it can’t overcome Him, His light keeps on shining even today.

In him was life, and that life was the light of men. That light shines in the darkness, and yet the darkness did not overcome it. drought, of homelessness, and violence and so on. And beyond that, we’re all aware of the myriad difficulties our world faces with critical climate change, political and social unrest, and even between women and men, as women are increasingly feeling empowered to say ‘enough’ to mistreatment by men.

“I only moved to Orange in January this year, but I’ve been visiting the area for about 20 years, having family here, and I’ve always loved it. I was working long, late hours for the National Operation Centre for Westfield Shopping centres when my parents moved out this way two years ago, so I decided to follow.

I am a freelance illustrator and amateur photographer and I really love getting out into nature and spending time with my friends and family. And

travelling, I love travelling and seeing new places.

I’ve actually travelled a lot – when I was 19, I moved to Canada and worked for two years in a café and on film sets, travelling around the US. I’ve also visited the UK, France, Croatia, Korea, New Zealand – I would probably have to say that my favourite place is Vancouver. I feel as at home there, as I do here.

I know that for many Australians Christmas no longer holds any religious significance. But for Christians Christmas is a celebration and a reminder that light has come into the darkness as we celebrate the coming into the world of Christ Jesus; God becoming a man, entering

But the darkness could not overcome the light, and Jesus was raised from the dead so that he might give life-eternal to people (more about that at Easter…).

Christmas is a great time to investigate this good news. Why don’t you read the Christmas story yourself in Matthew’s gospel? (just google it and you can read it online in clear easy English).

Or come along to one of the churches in Orange and hear this story told.

Ask some questions – it might be an enlightening experience.

In fact, you might just find a fulfillment that all the gifts, food and family can’t match.

day my niece was born – I packed up my whole life in Vancouver and came back to Australia just to meet her and I haven’t regretted it. After that I’d have to say my travels, some of my best memories are of time spent in my favourite places, like Paris, Edinburgh and Disneyland.

My sister lives in Darwin, so a chance to visit with her, my brother-in-law and my gorgeous niece Sophie, is probably what I’m most looking forward to in the coming year (it’s what I look forward to every year).”

For many of us we don’t need to look far to see that this world can be a dark place. And for all our talk of joy and wonder at Christmas if you shy away from looking at the darkness then you’ll miss the true wonder of Christmas.

In His birth, life, and death Jesus entered into the full human experience, he knows hunger, tiredness and sadness. Yet like no one else He faced the fullest of darkness as he suffered in our place at his crucifixion; a “man of sorrows,” he knows your pain.

isitors come from far and wide around this time of the year to pick cherries at local orchards.

One event that has become a Christmas tradition is what could be called the Weekly Times Express, a busload of people from Sydney who come to Orange following a newspaper competition held each year especially for this.

Last Saturday the happy winners were treated to a great day in Orange highlighted by picking new season cherries at the Prospect Orchard out along Cargo Road.

OC Life’s Cec Tilburg was there to capture some of the happy faces and to hear from some of the visitors. Word has it, a great day and a great time was had by all.

It’s worth mentioning that a friendship between former Councillor Chris Gryllis and John Booth, the publisher of the Weekly Times was the catalyst for this brilliant event happening each year.

The publicity for Orange and the benefits to our local economy by events like this should not be under-estimated. Thanks Chris and John on a cherry good initiative.

avenhand and Mather Architects are proud to have been involved with the project and the successful outcome for one of Orange’s iconic buildings.

Director of Havenhand and Mather Architects, Derek Moses said “It is great to see the project recognised with an award and this reflects the amount of work invested by all involved, including our talented professional team.”

Project Architect Greg Schwenke included the recommendations made by Council’s Heritage Advisor into the design whilst fulfilling the client’s request to reinstate the verandah. “We sorted through old photos of The Carrington and also gained information from the Orange & District Historical Society to design the verandah, reminiscent of the original structure dating back to the early 1900’s.”

WORDS BY Melise Coleman After a successful year last year (winning the NSW Store Presentation Award for 2017), the team at Tyrepower Orange have managed to go one better and win the ‘NSW Tyrepower Dealer of The Year 2018’.

Owner, Dell Ryan said, “We are thrilled to win this award after opening the store only three years ago.

There are approximately 70 independently owned Tyrepower stores in the region and this is a highly prized award amongst the group. As a team, we are very proud of raising this business from the ground up. What started as an idea early in 2015 has come to fruition and we work every day to add value and bring customer focused service to our patrons. It has allowed us to support community groups and give back where and when we can.”

Tyrepower Marketing NSW Limited has a strict criteria and benchmarks for a Tyrepower store to be eligible to win the award and in doing so, this makes the Orange store eligible to compete for the

prestigious award ‘Tyrepower International Dealer of The Year’- to be presented at the International Conference in April 2019 in Port Douglas. With the Tyrepower network being founded over 40 years ago and having a network of approximately 300 independently owned Tyrepower stores nationally, this is a very prestigious award to win.

“We were completely taken by surprise and obviously so proud of the entire team – it takes a great team working together to achieve this outcome.”

Dell continued, “We, as a team, would like to thank our Tyrepower customers, without them we are just four walls. As owners, Dave and I, would like to thank firstly our team of staff – those who have been with us from the start and had faith in our idea and those that have come after and joined our ‘family’; secondly we’d like to thank our loyal customers that makes this local business viable and enables us to employ local, knowledgeable people to provide a customer focused service.”

of toys for the Salvos

Terry Harcombe, Steve Apostoloff, Brian Thomas, Cadia’s General Manager Peter Sharpe, Matt Grenfell and Steve Ford with a bogger bucket full of toys to donate to the Salvation Army’s Christmas Appeal.

Cadia Valley Operations made a special delivery of around 200 toys for the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal early this week.

The donation of toys has been made by the Cadia workforce wanting to support those doing it tough this Christmas.

Cadia’s General Manager, Peter Sharpe, was thrilled with the overwhelming response from the workforce to the Christmas toy appeal.

“We have a huge workforce that wanted to do something for the local community this Christmas. We are continually impressed by the fantastic work of the local Salvation Army and felt

their Christmas Appeal was the right fit for our workforce.

“In just a couple of weeks, hundreds of toys were placed under the Christmas tree at Cadia, which will make Christmas a little brighter for many children across the Orange community.

“At Cadia we have a policy of supporting our workforce when they make group donations – be it time, funds or, in this case, toys – and I am really pleased to announce that Cadia will match today’s donation with gift vouchers totalling $4,000 to make the toy donations go a little further this year,” Peter said.

What do you do when you feel too old to play cricket?

Play Over 50s cricket. This is a rapidly expanding area in Australia, with new sides popping up all over. There is a long history of over 60s and over 70s cricket, but only more recently have the younger group had a way of keeping involved. In NSW, those Over 50s sides play each other in an informal league, throughout the year. This requires weekend trips to Cootamundra, Central Coast, Southern Highlands, Lithgow, Armidale, Tamworth, Hunter and Warners Bay. Those teams then meet in the State Championship, played last year in Armidale. Decent turf wickets, official umpires and beautiful grounds. This is cricket at its very best – highly competitive, but not taken too seriously, with lots of socialising after the games.

From this tournament and the games during the year, teams are selected to represent NSW at the National Championships. These were held in Orange last February and were a huge success. This season’s tournament was held very early in Brisbane in November; this was necessary, to allow a selection process for the World Cup. Sixteen men were chosen to represent Australia at the inaugural Over 50s World Cup, held in Sydney last month, which Australia won.

In fact, they were undefeated, winning 8 games in 16 days, defeating Pakistan in the final. They then played a further two ODIs against England, winning both and therefore re-claiming the Ashes (which they had lost on tour to England, last year). Details of all these games are on the Over 50s World Cup Facebook page and on MyCricket. Those selected are all now proud owners of an Over 50s Baggy Green.

So, if you are over 50s, there is every reason to keep playing cricket. There is no Over 50s side based in Orange, with the nearest being the Western Wildfires in Lithgow. The State Championships this season they are in Orange, February 10-12th, so it would be great to have a team of locals, either independent, or as a Western Wildfires second XI. Anyone interested in playing in an Orange side can contact Dave Hobbs on 0427148425, for more details.

I am happy not to be mentioned and can provide a photo of the Over 50s Baggy Green to go with the article.

If you want a personal touch, then you could include a paragraph like this: Local Kinross cricketer Stuart Crisp has played for Western Wildfires in the state comp and was selected for NSW. He was then chosen as first reserve for the Australian World Cup squad. Sadly, he didn’t get a game during the World Cup. He did however, play against England in the One Day International immediately following. Australia beat England to reclaim the Ashes, which they had relinquished on the tour to England in 2017.

APPRENTICES ARE HAPPIEST

WHEN THEY’RE STRIVING TOWARDS SOMETHING GREATER THE SKILLSROAD 2018 YOUTH CENSUS SURVEY REPORTED THAT APPRENTICES AND TRAINEES HAD THE HIGHEST LEVELS OF WELLBEING COMPARED TO ANY OTHER POST-SCHOOL PATHWAYS. According to the Youth Census, today’s young people need to acquire post-school education and skills that enable them to be life-long learners.

Skillset Workforce’s recently qualified Engineering Mechanical Trade apprentice, Luke Thomson says, “Through this apprenticeship, I have learnt an entirely new set of skills and I am encouraged to continuously develop my skills base whilst gaining hands on experience which has been the greatest benefit.”

Specialised CNC Engineering (SCNCE) Orange have hosted 3 apprentices and found that apprentices offer various benefits

to the business as well. SCNCE owner, Geoff Parkes says, “We find that apprentices are an integral part of business growth. They allow for a succession planning strategy to upskill other staff.

As they gain more skills and knowledge they are able to move up to a level of independence and aid in the training of others thus allowing flexibility of growth.”

With the right amount of support and mentoring from workplaces, young workers have found that they’re more motivated in the work that they’re performing, and striving towards clearer goals which better equips them for their future career.

SCNCE’s most recent labour

recruit, Brandon Adams says, “Specialised CNC Engineering are assisting me in gaining valuable experience and a new set of skills in a field I have not worked in before. The guidance that the team has provided me with, has given me the ability and confidence to strive towards my career goals.”

Skillset Workforce is committed to supporting the development of regional jobs growth and youth employment through their various business programs and services. Skillset assist in providing apprentices and trainees with an overall support and mentoring network which has contributed to their reported level of wellbeing.

MONEY Ac cordi ng To

d l o w s i r G k r a l C

N

b

o doubt National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation will be on TV at some stage over Christmas.

It’s a classic that most people have seen numerous times.

I was thinking about poor Clark Griswold and how many of his problems seem to relate to money.

Clark is a devoted family man who works hard to earn an income for his family and dreams of ways to spend that income on things that will make his family happy.

Sounds a lot like most people I know.

It’s just a fact of life that money makes the world go around and the more of it we have, the more options we will have in life.

Unfortunately for Clark, in wanting to give his family everything, he’d paid a deposit on a pool on the assumption he’d be getting a similar bonus to years gone by.

The lesson… don’t count your chickens

before they hatch.

In the movie, Clark’s cousin, Eddy, kidnaps Clark’s boss and in the end the boss agrees to a 20% bonus payment. However, kidnapping someone to extort money out of them is unlikely to be a financial plan that will work for any of us in real life.

While the movie is a great laugh, it does highlight why it’s so important to have a financial plan going forward. If you have dreams and goals for you and your family then there needs to be thought and effort put into making them a reality. Hope is not a plan.

The crux of the issue is that like so many of us, Clark was spending money he didn’t have. Whether it’s through making unrealistic assumptions about a bonus payment or borrowing money to spend on things that immediately go down in value (which will have to be paid back later with

interest), spending money we don’t have is simply robbing our future selves of that money (and then some, via the wealth that isn’t created with that money).

Now, if Clark Griswold spent Christmas Vacation making sensible money decisions, it would be the most boring movie ever made. It’s the fact that he and his relatives make ridiculous decisions the whole way through that makes it so funny. We don’t want our financial lives to resemble a joke though. We want opportunities and choices for us and our families. That’s why making smart financial decisions NOW pays off so handsomely down the track.

Make every Christmas from now on better, and far less stressful, by being someone who is living their financial life on purpose.

That is, having a plan.

Making a plan, reviewing it each year and making changes where necessary will put

you on the path to so many more options being available to you in the future… and so much of it can be done without having to give up anything now. In many cases, it’s just about getting the money which you do have to work harder for you.

Thanks for reading my words throughout the year. It’s been great to hear from so many people that enjoy reading this each week and to have had so many come and seek advice. Helping people live a better life through making smarter financial decisions is what I’m committed to!

I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and get the opportunity to enjoy Clark Griswold at his finest.

See you in 2019!

Daniel

Scouts get ready for “The Shed” For the past four years, at this time of year 2nd Orange Scout Group band together and create a raffle to raise money for a highly anticipated storage shed which is set to get started next week, hoping to be finished by the end of January. The raffle winner- won $500 worth of Woolworths gift cards.

Scout Group Leader, Bob Hoye said, “Woolworths had kindly donated $150 worth of gift cards, we thank Woolworths and everyone who supported the raffle, we probably sold 2,000 tickets so we were extremely happy.”

Bob has been involved with Scouts for 21 years and says watching the kids , grow, get some confidence, and get outside of their comfort zone that makes it all worthwhile.

Raffle winner, Cameron Taylor said “I was involved with Scouts when I was younger, and have always thought they do a good job, it has 18

come at a great time and will help a lot over Christmas, it includes Big W, Woolworths and BWS. Chairman of the Group Support Committee, 2nd Orange Scout Group, Geoff Metcale added, “This moment has been a long time coming and this is our opportunity to consolidate all of our gear into one place instead of having it spread-out all-over town. It’s bigger than most people realize for us, we have worked very had to get to this stage, we are so excited to be finally getting ‘The Shed’ as we call it.

With 70 youth members aged between 5-26 years, the 2nd Orange Scout group are involved with traditional outdoor activities developing team work and getting involved within the community.

Congratulations to all. If you are interested in 2nd Orange Scouts and would like to find out more, contact 1300 858 464.

in Orange!

And the winners are!

WORDS BY Bob Holland

Orange City Life’s Strike Gold in Orange Competition has been running over the last three months and it all came to a head last Saturday with all winners being determined.

The Competition had three components giving shoppers, home owners and car buyers separate opportunities to share in the $15,000 worth of prizes.

Twenty weekly winners came together at the Summer Centre and were given the chance to select a key and see if their key opened a mystery lock. If it did, they would win the $10,000 prize.

It only took four tries before Scott Jones’ key opened the lock. He and wife Michele couldn’t believe their luck. They are about to set off on an around Australia extended holiday.

Our photographer Cec Tilburg captured some of the fun, albeit a bit tense for those waiting to try their luck.

WINNERS WERE AS FOLLOWS: $10,000 major prize – Scott and Michele Jones $1000 car dealer prize – Rebecca Marjoram Return Fly Corporate air flights Real estate prize – Jason Marks and Kim Parsons Our thanks to all who participated in our promotion and especially to Orange City Council’s Shop Orange Gift Card Program for partnering with us to run it.

ANDREWGEE MP FEDERAL MEMBER FOR CALARE

Your CountryYour Voice A CRAZY END TO 2018

$22 MILLION DELIVERED

FOR THE MURRAY DARLING MEDICAL SCHOOL

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS THIS WEEK

Parliament has finished for the year and what a crazy ending to 2018 it was.

I can tell you I was pleased to get out of there!

With all of the shenanigans in Canberra I think it’s timely that we talk about ways in which we can improve the workings of the Parliament. If we can get it to work better, I think people would have more faith.

One reform I think we should look at is fixed four year terms. The Australian Parliament currently has three year (non-fixed) terms. This means that when governments are elected they spend a couple of years getting on with business and then start looking to elections. If the parliamentary cycle ran for longer and had more certainty, more could be done. It would also mean that political parties would be less likely to overthrow leaders.

I also think we need to look at reforming the Senate. The Senate probably worked well back in 1901, but I don’t believe it is working as well in the modern age. Currently each state gets 12 senators regardless of population. This means that Tasmania (population 519,000) has the same number of Senators in NSW (population 7.95 million).

The Senate has been said to resemble the Star Wars cantina where a bizarre array of minor parties seemed to be able to dictate or block the national agenda.

One reform that makes sense to me is: if a piece of legislation is blocked once in the Senate, the Senate should have a vote on it a second time and if it is still blocked there should be a joint sitting of the Senate and House of Representatives held to see if the legislation can be passed. I think that if the Parliament was able to pass more legislation and governments could get their agenda through, people would have a lot more faith that the system is working effectively.

Of course ambition and betrayal have been a part of politics since the days of Julius Caesar (he was another leader who had an unfortunate ending!). It’s hard to change human nature, but getting the Parliament to work better would be a step in the right direction which all Australians would welcome.

The Federal Government’s $74 million investment in the Murray-Darling Medical School network – including $22 million to develop a new Rural Medical School in Orange – will completely change the way country-raised medical students are trained, with rural and regional Australians the big winners.

Last Friday’s announcement is the culmination of many years of lobbying by the communities of the Central West who have been united in the push for a new medical school. They know all too well about the shortage of country doctors.

As I’ve always said, this new medical school will change the way medicine is

taught and practised in country Australia by training doctors in the bush, for practise in the bush. It will also set the Central West up as a hub for medical training and research. There are billions of dollars in medical research grants up for grabs and this region will be playing an increasingly active role in the medical research field.

Congratulations to the Clifton Grove/Ophir Rural Fire Brigade and also the Moorbel Brigade on their new sheds which were opened over the weekend.

We really appreciate all our RFS volunteers do to protect property and lives. Let’s hope it’s a quiet Christmas for them!

The medical school will commence in 2021 with an initial intake of 37 students.

Eighty percent of these students will come from regional and rural areas.

This announcement is truly the beginning of something great for the region and country Australia.

FEDERAL FUNDING FOR ANTIQUE LINKED TO BUSHRANGERS AND HEROES The Federal Government has provided $90,000 to assist the Orange Regional Museum to purchase a valuable antique with links to the Ben Hall gang of bushrangers.

The sterling silver grand epergne (it’s a candle and fruit holder, I didn’t know what it was either!) was presented to Amelia and David Campbell by the Forbes community in 1864 to acknowledge their bravery in resisting an attack from Ben Hall’s gang on their property, making special note of Amelia’s heroism. One of the bushranger’s was killed in the shoot-out.

On a wonderful sunny Sunday in Blayney Mayor Scott Ferguson and the Blayney community buried the Centenary of the Armistice time capsule to be opened in 100 years.

With the end of year quickly approaching, school presentation days are also starting to wrap up and it’s been a pleasure to celebrate the achievements of students at both Yeoval Central School and James Sheahan Catholic High School. Congratulations also the 2019 student leaders who I know will set a wonderful example next year!

The 72-centimetre high Campbell epergne will be part of a special exhibition at the Orange Regional Museum, which will detail the history and significance of the bushranger attack and Amelia and David Campbell’s courage.

IMPROVING FACILITIES FOR STUDENTS AT ORANGE CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

Yeoval Central School outgoing school captains Sydney Tremain and Blake Cameron.

Christmas has come early for the Orange Christian School with the announcement earlier this week of a $650,000 Federal Government grant to build a new multi-purpose hall.

This $2.2 million project will be a welcome addition to the school and when complete, will include a stage, netball and basketball court, and a store room One of the great strengths of our region is our schools.

Right across the board we are lucky to have a strong and vibrant education sector. Congratulations to the team at Orange Christian School, including Principal Melissa Brown!

On November 24, Back on the road again, we end up in Rotorua. Let me tell you yes, it does smell, really bad- although…you get used to it, don’t let that stop you from experiencing the town. There are so many awesome things to do; I would recommend the zorb balling, rain hail or shine it’s perfect for the whole family to do, as well as the Polynesian Spa. If you’re on a tight budget you can do a walk around Lake Rotorua itself, its thermal springs make it a different lake experience to what you’d be used to.

If you are a Lord of the Rings or Hobbit fan, you will enjoy this one. We travelled to Matamata to see the Hobbiton movie set. After our main tour we spent some time in the ‘Green Dragon Inn, where Jake and I were the only ones to take it upon ourselves to dress like Hobbits. It’s a must for movie fans, if I can enjoy it you guys will revel in it.

On November 22- 23, We travelled into Lake Taupo,

which I was soon to learn that’s where I would be jumping off a perfectly stable ledge,. bungy jumping that is. I’d like to say it was all my idea although a phone call from my parents the night before led to a $200 bet and the word ‘chicken’ coming out of my Dads mouth, you’ve got yourself a deal $$$ I thought. I’m glad I did it, because it makes me seem tough, though if you see the photos that I will be hiding from the public forever, I’m quite sure I blacked out for the first few seconds of the free fall.

r u o y t a e c i v r se enny K a n i r o C

Tell me about your job and why you pursued a career in it? I am the Owner, Manager and Beauty Therapist at Utopia Skin and Hair Day Spa. I fell into the beauty industry as I always liked acrylic nails then when a course became available in Orange for it, that is when I started to do the nails. Then I was working with somebody and that didn’t work out, so I saw a vacant shop and went into that with no money as a single mum.

Then people started asking for waxing, so I started to add stuff on. I then went into the City Centre and employed a beauty therapist, as the business progressed, I went to Tafe and did facials. I did a few other things then I bought this business which was just hairdressing and we have been building it up since then. It has been 6 months and the business has already started to take off.

Any career highlights?

Just building friendships with my clients and opening this business. I do have more plans for this and I want to make it into a full day spa. I have lots of ideas to expand the business, so it will become a one stop shop. I am that person who is constantly going, my brain does not stop.

What would be a usual day for you?

I usually walk to work in the summer then it is just servicing my clients and enjoying working with my staff, I enjoy their companionship. I do a lot of microblading, a lot of skin treatments, IPL treatments, hair removal, they are the treatments that I try to do the most.

What do you love most about your job?

I just really enjoy the clients and the staff and the

atmosphere here is great. I just love having the company and the buzz of working with a team.

What is something that people might not know about your job?

You wear a lot of hats in a business. I have to do all of the book work, wages and the basic running of a business.

People might not know that we do skin tightening and fat cavitation, tattoo removal and those sorts of jobs. It was a hairdressing salon for 20 years so people might not know all of the services that we do.

Other than work, tell me a bit about yourself, your interests and hobbies?

I am the most boring person out there (laughs). I have three grandkids and another one on the way. I love spending time with them and I enjoy creating side businesses. At the moment I have just started a tea business, I like the social media side of things and the networking. Otherwise it is just all business related.

What is your favourite thing to do?

I enjoy relaxing and watching TV. I like watching Netflix and I am currently watching Outlander. I like to go for a walk around the Botanic gardens too.

If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

I would like to go to Ireland because of my heritage and I like history and I would also like to go to New Zealand because that is where my grandkids heritage is. TH

NEW YEAR’S EVE FIREWORKS CAN BE A LOT OF FUN FOR HUMAN FAMILY MEMBERS BUT CAN BE QUITE FRIGHTENING FOR OUR PETS

• Have high value treats on hand and try distracting your dog with a puzzle toy or some training games prepared earlier in the day.

The loud explosions of noise and lights in the sky can be literally terrifying for our dogs and other animals.

• Take your dog for a nice long walk before the fireworks start and/or practice fun nose work activities. This will help release ‘feel good’ hormones which reduce stress and help encourage relaxation

Symptoms of noise phobias in dogs (from storms , fire crackers and other loud noises) can range from cowering, drooling, pacing and whining to toileting in the house, ripping up bedding or furniture and even vomiting .

Dogs often try to get away from the noise and get lost or injured on New Year’s Eve. Planning ahead is important.

• Ensure your fences and gates are secure to prevent your dog from leaving the property.

• Provide a safe quiet place for your dog to hide if he needs to. This could be a comfortable bed in a laundry, under your own bed or in a garage/ shed (if outside).

Avoid tying your dog up as this will prevent him from being able to get away from the source of the noise • Consider fitting a Calming Cap, Thundershirt or Anxiety Wrap. You may even want to make a T/Touch Wrap yourself: https://www.reshareworthy.com/body-wraphelps-calm-dogs/ .

• Play calming music like ‘Through a Dog’s Ear’ in the background https://icalmpet.com/about/music/ • Research the use of natural therapies e.g. rescue Remedy or Adaptil DAP spray for your dog

• Make an appointment to see your Veterinarian for a complete health check if your dog’s behaviour is extreme and/or if you see any changes in behaviour that concern you. Medication can be prescribed to help reduce anxiety in these situations.

Remain calm around your dog and do not punish any fearful behaviour – it is not his choice to be frightened.

Patting and cuddling your dog will not make the behaviour worse and will probably make both of you feel better so cuddle away!

Happy New Year everyone!

I hope 2019 is a great year filled with fun, friends, family and dogs!

AS TOLD TO MELISE COLEM

AN

work listening on the radio, there wasn’t a great deal of work getting done because we were all listening intently because we knew he was going to land any minute and he was going to step out of the module. We were all cheering and very excited, nobody could believe it, we actually had a man on the moon. One of the things growing up that your parents used to say to you was ‘Look, there’s a man on the moon’ in the shape of the moon you could see a face, when you were upset they would tell you to look up there- and then we actually had a man physically walking on the moon, it was incredible.

Although it’s not a world event, it still changed the world. When rock and roll was shunned upon, I was a teenager (1958-59) you had Elvis Presley, who would get on stage and because he wore tight clothes and wiggled his hips the older generation thought he was obscene. Because all of us teenagers thought he was fantastic and we absolutely idolised him, we weren’t always popular with our parents.

THIS WEEK WE CAUGHT UP WITH MRS ASPINALL, “I’M A BUSY LITTLE BEE AND I HAVE A GREAT LOVE OF ANIMALS.” Name: Gwen Aspinall Age: 72 Where and when were you born? Croydon NSW, 1946 What are the most important lessons you’ve learned in life? I was always taught to be kind, which is important, Dad used to tell me if a jobs worth doing, its worth doing properly (which drives some people bonkers) *laughs* and my hubby always says, you want everything done yesterday! To learn to be considerate of others, not everyone can do things as quickly as you can, and to be respectfulthat was always drummed into us at home.

What’s the secret to a happy marriage? Give and take, you have to be considerate of others.

What big world events were the most memorable while you were growing up? Man landing on the moon, that was very, very exciting listening to those words when he first landed. I was at

We used to love dancing, the actual dancing of rock and roll where you actually spun around, and your knickers would show was frowned upon, although they had these pants that had frills on them, so you weren’t actually seeing undies- you were showing nice clothes really. It changed the life of teenagers then.

What is your favourite childhood memory? It has got to be (we never had a car, so if we ever needed to go anywhere we took public transport)my dear old Ma (Grandma) who was 75 when I was born, her and her daughter used to take us into the city by bus to see all of the Christmas decorations in the city and all of the windows. I think it was Grace Brothers who had caves that you could go through with nursery rhyme scenes or characters of childhood books. We would then get to have lunch at this very exclusive place called ‘Carls’, we would have to sit up like young ladies. My other favourite memory is Boxing Day every year we would spend our holidays in Orange, we came on the train and if we had been particularly good Dad would say ‘If you’re really good tonight I will get you up early and we will go into Central and catch the train and you can watch them putting the coal into the fire to fire up the train.’

What were some of your hobbies growing up? Well because my parents were older, and very reserved, I wasn’t allowed to ride a push bike or play sports, because young ladies didn’t do that. As a kid I used to love colouring in and playing with my dolls. I also did a lot of

sewing, my Ma taught me how to do embroidery.

What do you enjoy now? I’m the President at the Country Women’s Association, Millthorpe Branch. I spent nine years in the branch at Currajong, I’m a busy little bee, living here at Oak Tree I organise what people want to do and different activities, I busy myself with things like that. I go to a knitting and patchwork group, I love organising lunches with family, I love people, I couldn’t stay at home all day, I’m a people person. We also love to take the caravan out- we have been all around Australia, the most amazing place I’ve ever been to is actually standing, looking at Ayers Rock.

What life advice would you pass along to your grandchildren? I have nine grandchildren and one great grandchild. I would say always be considerate of others, just do your best, no one can ask anything more from you than your best, and as long as your happy with what you’ve done that’s what matters. If you’re in the wrong- apologize, it’s not always easy.

What did you want to be when you grew up? A nurse, I wasn’t given that opportunity, I came home from school in the school holidays in September, we had been dawdling, to be greeted by my mum telling me to hurry up and have a bath, I had a job interview. It had been discussed (me leaving school). I went to the job interview and got the job- it was in the sewing trade. I loved it, it was a great atmosphere working with about 18 women and one male.

What was your favourite job? In the food trade but in the retail side, because your dealing with people.

What are you most proud of? My four children, they have done a great job themselves, they all have great jobs and they are raising their children wonderfully.

Who is the person who influenced your life the most? Why? My Mum, Dad and Grandma, they were with me 24 hours a day, they had a great input in my life. If Mum and Dad went dancing, I’d stay with my grandma, we had just us time, she would show me how to sew or knit or even just listening to the radio. If I was upset or anything Ma would always sense it and she would try and distract me.

What was your favourite thing to do for fun? Dancing, ballroom or rock and roll dancing- I met my husband Ron at a dance.

Christmas Eve Eve - A great night of live music for a great cause.

WORDS BY Patrick Coomey On the night before Christmas Eve a tradition of sorts has been occurring at The Hotel Canobolas with some of the finest musicians from across the Orange Region joining together to provide a fun filled evening of musical delights. Last year even Santa managed to pop by and lay down some thumping bass for a few tracks.

Whilst it’s great that live local music gets things pumping at the Hotel Canobolas, the event serves as an opportunity to raise funds for a great cause “Give Me 5 for Kids”.

The Give Me 5 for Kids which is run by Triple MMM in the Central West, who in conjunction with a number of community groups held events this year that raised $148,500. This money remained in the local community with the amount being donated to The Orange Health Services Children’s Ward in November.

Get your Christmas onto a good groove, enjoying good tunes with some good friends while helping out a good cause at the same time and give generously when the buckets do the rounds on the night.

Christmas Eve Eve will be held at Hotel Canobolas Sunday 23rd December.

Ho! Ho! Ho! Or Oh! Oh! Oh! There isn’t much Ho! Ho! in the gospel account of the birth of Jesus Christ I am re-reading.

told this and they tremble but they don’t ignore the sign. They choose to go and see what they have been told about. They saw and they praised God because they knew it was true.

Some 2,000 years later this is still a powerful and relevant message to read because the good news is still true. So, we mustn’t ignore the sign because Jesus Christ also deals with the sins of this current generation.

Jingles will try to jolly us along but the joy of Christmas is not so trivial.

When Jesus was born the response was not a humorous “Ho Ho” but a wonderous, Oh!

How do you like to have fun? I like to do some cantering.

What does friendship mean to you? It kind of means happy and kind to me.

What superpower would you like to have? I would like to canter real fast on a horse and then jump.

SPORT

THE ICE MAN COMETH! 3rd Grade v Orange City

Fielding – Non leads with 5 catches, but Brenton Anthony is averaging 2 catches a game with 4 in 2 matches.

also left the score book at home, yes he was heavily fined to the glee of all and sundry, but perhaps the fine wasn’t as much as it should have been. After a mad search by the entire Centrals crew the keys were found and on que a Centrals late order recovery took place as the boys ended up posting a respectable but modest 9/125. Benny Windslade, Nonny and Burgo all chipped in with handy contributions.

Normally, against Cavs this would not be enough, however, no one told the pace duo of the Iceman (4/25) and Burgo (3/11), the two boys preceded to rip the heart out of the Cavs batting attack and bowl them out for only 80. Brenton’s 2 great catches capped off victory!

From the ashes of defeat the boys snatched a truly memorable victory which sees them rise to 2nd on the table and maybe with a little Christmas magic they could be 1st when the fat man roles down the chimney next week.

3rds started the day losing the toss and being sent out to bowl by Orange City, never a good start. The first session proved to be a bit of a tug of war with City marginally on top going to drinks at 1/89. After drinks we came out and applied the squeeze to get back in the game with wickets falling regularly. Pick of the bowlers was Crowey 3/43, Christian 2/30 and Simmo with 1/6. Coggo snagged 3 nice catches at keeper and Texas walker somehow with a direct hit runout!! Batting now!! One day our top order will fire. Being 3/4 this week and Coggo adding another duck to his tally. The ship was steadied by Wiegold and Totto before we lost the former, with the captain spearing him lbw, much to the surprise of the crowd. Wiegold added 36, Totto 31 and the man of the moment Christian with 27. Losing wickets at regular intervals now, we ultimately fell 28 short. The day did finish with a great highlight. Nachi, Nacho, Taco, everyone has their own name for him, but the newest addition to the Club had the crowd on their feet as he finished the game with 5 runs in 5 balls, breaking his 2 game streak on the duck farm. Top stuff Nacho Man! It was a great day of cricket between the teams played in the right spirit. Get to training lads keep working and last of all keep wandering!!

SOME STATS TO FINSIH OFF THE YEAR 1st Grade Bowling - New recruit, Fletch, leads the team with 14 wickets, but the Rhino has edged him out for best average and figures with 10.00 and 6/26.

Batting – The battle it really on for the batting title this season.

Deano leads on 96. That’s not in one innings, it is for the season. Jack Dodds follows on 95, while Daz and Teddy are 3 back on 92 each. Jake leads the averages for those eligible for the title with 21.00.

2nd Grade v Cavaliers Last Saturday the 2nd grade lads took on top of the table Cavs.

Coming into the match on the back of two loses on the bounce the boys were looking to get back into the winners circle. Captain Nonny was given strict orders by el president Tedeschi to call tails at the toss in the hope of breaking his losing streak of 0/6 at the toss. The wise words worked, Centrals won the toss and batted. That’s 7-0 Tails for the year for all those playing at home. However, what followed was an hour or so of crazy events both on and off the pitch, On the pitch the boys slumped to 5/23, however, off the pitch the real drama was unfolding as Nonny had somehow lost his keys and could not retrieve his whites, this was on the back of him losing his cricket kit the night before because he didn’t close the tray in his ute. He

Fielding – It might be a typo, but Teddy leads the team in nonkeeper catches with 4. I do think it is a dead heat between him and Daz for most drops though.

3rd Grade Bowling – Crowy and Pearso lead the way with 14 and 13 wickets respectively. Spiro’s 9 wickets are at a team leading average of 9.

Batting – Gav Smith leads the team with 212 runs at 42.40. But rookie Christian Beuzeville is making a charge with 146. Coggo is equal leader with Totto at the duck farm, with 3 each. That’s 5 for Cog for the year, sorry mate! 2019 will be better!

Fielding – Smithy leads the fielding with 5 catches in 5 games.

Brock’s 2 runouts shoots him up into an insurmountable lead there.

Juniors Cooper Judge leads the Club with 11 wickets, while Baxter Brown has scored the most runs with 93. Donny has been the star in the field, taking 4 catches and a run out.

COMING UP CENTRALS CHRISTMAS PARTY Saturday December 22 upstairs at the Royal Hotel at 7pm.

Have a Merry RednBlack Christmas!!

2nd Grade Bowling – Rasha has 12, Stu 11 and Sean 10 wickets. Nonny leads the averages with 8.43. How about Barney Davis’ 13 maidens in 31 overs. Unplayable!

Batting – Benny Winslade and Wilbur lead the way with 146 and 132 respectively, daylight back to 3rd place. Hang is doing his VC spot

Go Centrals!

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION Taneil Thornberry writes:

As one year rolls into the next many of us start to think about our new year’s resolution.

Janette Giffin writes:

A PERFECT CHRISTMAS

“Peace on Earth Goodwill to Man” is the first thing that comes to mind. This would be my idea of a perfect Christmas but it is a vain hope.

Christmas time can be a time of conflict and petty jealousies among people who only come together at this time of the year and so hardly know one another.

Old wounds are opened and former grievances renewed. Peace in the world must start with the individual.

The tradition of making a new year’s resolution now has a somewhat bad connotation associated with it as people continue to make unrealistic goals that they just can’t keep or reach.

So this year let’s call them our goals for the new year and let’s implement the SMART approach making our goals; specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely to ensure we achieve everything we desire.

Break up your goals into different categories such as career, lifestyle, relationships, wellness, service and gratitude, as you must first be grateful for what you have before you can receive more.

Firstly be SPECIFIC with your goals, making them clear and detailed. Ask the who, what, where, when and why for each goal.

Make a goal that is MEASURABLE and set a time frame to achieve it by. This will motivate you to do something small each day until it is accomplished.

Make small steps of how you can achieve the big picture.

“Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow”- Doug Firebaugh.

Make it ATTAINABLE. We would all love to be perfect, but that is just not realistic so think about what is important to you and how you can achieve it.

Goals need to be RELEVANT or meaningful as this will keep you motivated to stay on track and push

through. There is no point saying you would like to lose 20kg and then do nothing about it. Ask why you want to achieve it and keep that as your motivation.

Lastly make your goals TIMELY and set a deadline for goals to be achieved by. Ask what you can do today to get you started.

Goals aren’t just for the go-getters and entrepreneurs, they are for everyone who wants to live a wonderful life. We spend so much time trying to find ourselves when we should be more focused on creating ourselves.

So put pen to paper and watch the magic unfold.

Write with intention and truly believe that want you want will come true. Explore what you value, what you are passionate about and what you want out of life. There is no time like the present, so just start.

“The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low, and we reach it.” Michelangelo

So, for a perfect Christmas perhaps we must go back to the basics of what is really is about. Not children with more toys and electronic gadgets than they ever need, not so much food that it would feed a third world village for a week, not fighting and arguing and being selfish.

For me a quiet relaxing day surrounded by family, especially grandchildren with gifts especially chosen or made for each one, lots of Christmas Bush and an Australian Christmas Tree decorated by the children would be perfect.

I would enjoy inviting folks to dinner who were by themselves and without family at Christmas time. I enjoy sending out cards to friends with whom I have little contact otherwise and hearing how they have fared since the last Christmas. Some are still inveterate travellers; some continue to study; others do the grey nomad thing while others enjoy doing charity work.

As a child, I loved to go to Mark Foys and walk through the “caves” where there were scenes of the Christmas story and the Nativity and, of course, Santa who terrified me.

When I lived in Sydney I loved go to the Christmas carols in the Domain and now watch the performance on TV. Christmas carols are an important part of my Christmas and I seem to play the many CDs I have constantly at that time of the year.

So now my idea of a perfect Christmas is simply staying home, listening to music and indulging in small treats which can only be bought at Christmastime especially the German goodies like Stollen, Spekulatius, Lebkuchen etc.

Let ter

TO THE EDITOR Jenny Lenon writes: If the council don’t do something about the crossing outside Woolworths before Christmas there will be a lot of very frustrated taxi drivers and even more very annoyed customers, who already are made to stand and wait as the taxis are held up by a traffic jam.

Cars are banked up back to Moulder Street and in Kit Street to Lords Place and Sale Street.

On busy days, particularly before Christmas and Easter it can take 15-20 minutes to go two blocks to get to the taxi rank.

I drive my son’s taxi occasionally and I know how annoyed the customers get when it is the council’s problem.

It should be like Bathurst with a sign to say pedestrians give way to vehicles.

MUSIC SCENE

What’s the Best Thing I’ve Heard in 2018?

Words by Patrick Coomey

2018 has seen a raft of local talent performing live, with some artists cutting new musical paths for themselves such as Amy Viola and Kelly O’Donnell and others whom are emerging; James Rutten, Liv Mirrington and Gabbi Bolt to name but a few.

There have also been some great releases this year the majority of which have been recorded right here in and around the Orange Region of either originals or covers. Some are Corrugated Iron’s Rock of the Ages, Polyculture’s Entropy, Matt Arthur’s On Their Shoulders, Darren Smith Dive into You and Smith and Jones Tribute Collaboration with Michael Carpenter Petty.

Standing out from all these with an EP consisting of only 4 songs is the debut EP of the bearded troubadour Andy Nelson. After only performing in public for two years, Andy has turned in a classic of an EP, showing a lot of depth in his writing. Musically the style would delight anyone who enjoys acoustic based tunes wrapped in tasteful understated sways of Americana. The subject matter in the songs shift from the wonderment that comes from watching your child, looking into the future and hoping for only the best which he totally nails on the opening track Little Sweet.

Changing track quickly with the atmospheric arrangements on Batches whose lyrics take you down a different path with every listener. There’s a bit of self-realisation within the lines of Only You, whilst on Ivan he encapsulates the devastation and loss that occurred during the Sir Ivan bushfires including that of his mother’s family home.

Andy has already become an in demand performer around the Central West as well as at a number of venues in the inner city. 2019 will see him performing at some big festivals including a number of shows at Tamworth. Take any opportunity you can to see him perform live while you can. Many are looking forward to a full long player by this talented troubadour, but until then we’ll have to keep feasting on the EP. You can check out more about Andy and buy the EP via www. andynelson.com.au/music

Thumbs up to the gentleman who came to my assistance after I had a fall in Phillip Street on Thursday afternoon 6th December.

Many thanks.

Thumbs up to Lauren Sanders from mum and dad for your wonderful achievement of becoming year 9 Dux at Canobolas High School in 2018. Now that’s worthy of a thumbs up!

Thumbs up again to the wonderful staff at St. Calare nursing home, their Christmas party was enjoyed by all. Their kindness and dedication to the residents was outstanding. A big thankyou to Santa, who knew every residents name and new who was naughty and nice.

A massive thumbs up to all the teachers, students and staff at Nashdale Public School. Their end of year performance was amazing. Funny, clever, well choreographed and thoroughly entertaining.

Thumbs up to Robert

Eats.

Smith for his letter to the editor of the CWD about putting camping, caravans and a fun park out at Lake Canobolas. There is plenty of room, a café and chairs could be carried up to the Pinnacle on Mount Canobolas and leave gosling Creek reserve as it is and make a bus run in and out of Orange.

I would like to say a big thank you to IGA for the Christmas lunch today and for the lunches supplied through the year It is very much appreciated.

Thumbs up to Betty McDonald and Edna Sharp for 50 years of dedicated service to Meals on Wheels. What caring and beautiful people they are with very big hearts. Golden ladies!

We're from Cowra and would like to give a big 'thumbs up' to Jesse (male!) the caravan workshop manager for Canobolas Caravan & Marine Centre. He's such a decent and obliging young man helping us grey (and not so grey!) nomads to keep rolling along. He's got

us out of a few caravanning hiccups recently without fuss.

An absolute credit to their business. Thanks again mate..

Thumbs up to Kate and the other volunteers from Mid-Week Netball. What an outstanding job you’ve done organising the Midweek Competition. It’s a lot of work but there are people out here who appreciate everything you do. Thanks Huge thumbs up to the organizers of the weekly meal at CWA hall and Tuesday’s Christmas celebration which really topped the year off. Also a thumbs up to the Kinross School students for taking the time to make each guest a very original sleigh made from chocolates etc. I sign off as the two old girls who always sit together at these meals. I would like to wish you all at OCL a Merry Xmas and thank you for all the reading from the last year. I Look forward to 2019 On Tuesday last, two ladies Kay and Katrina, at Central West Neurology and Neurosurgery, were such

good angels for my husband, whose oxygen cylinder ran out of oxygen. These two ladies only asked who was my husband’s oxygen supplier and they contacted them and arranged for a new cylinder to be delivered to the building. Tony and Christine from BOC arrived in a very short time and replaced the used cylinder and my husband had oxygen again very quickly. It was the swift action of these people who saved my husband an enormous amount of stress and even something far more serious. Many thanks for the kindness.

Thumbs up to Summer street Vet and Pets at Peace who have looked after me so kindly and lovingly as I lost my lovely boy [dog] recently just weeks before his 13th birthday.

Thumbs up to Orange Council for the decorations on the poles down Summer Street. Small but nice!
