Charlie Bubb

A.K.A. The Smiling Assassin: 10 Years in the Making — SAMUEL RODWELL —

“You got to keep telling yourself you’re the best in the world”

A

s local fighter Charlie Bubb and I sat in his newly-acquired sponsor vehicle parked along Byng Street with two hot takeaway coffees in hand, we yarned about all things while surveying the overcast day beyond the windshield.

The WKBF K-1 World Champion admitted the new wheels, an international-brand utility kindly sponsored by Orange Motor Group, has arrived just in time as his previous ute has met its unfortunate end due to various mechanical reasons. The humble tradie by day explaining, “I can build you a house. I’m all over that. But when it comes to cars, I know very little. I’m no mechanic,” Charlie says with an honest grin.

As we moved on in subject matter, our conversation felt more of a friendly catch-up than simply an interview, as Charlie and I were classmates once upon a time ago. The first 10 minutes or so, we talked about what we had been doing of late and our plans for this year.

Which quite naturally segued into Charlie’s fighting goals for 2021 where in the tenth year of his sporting career has come to be known as "The Smiling Assassin".

2020 was set to be Charlie’s breakout year, planned to start-off in London after being called out by UK fighter Daniel Bonner during his last Muay Thai fight which Charlie explains, “when I was called out. I said, ‘Sweet he wants to fight me, I’ve never been to London before, so let’s go. I will come and fight Bonner.’” To follow his fight in the UK, Charlie had an Australian fight lined up for March which was subsequently “canned” when the pandemic came knocking on that fateful month last year.

As the world came to a standstill, Charlie and trainer Danny Maksacheff wanted to do something 6 MAY 13 — 19, 2021

that kept them busy outside of the fights as one after the other were understandably cancelled.

Being an advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention, he reinforces the message ‘You Are Worth Fighting For’, at the end of each fight with a speech. Wanting to maintain the message through times of COVID-19, Charlie and Danny conceived the idea to make a series of mental health videos that were distributed across social media to great effect.

Once restrictions eased last year, Charlie had the opportunity to train with UFC fighter Robert Whittaker in Sydney. “That was one of my goals in 2020, to keep doing down there and helping Rob train for one of his upcoming stand-up fights,” Charlie stated. Certainly, vice versa for the local fighter as the idea of transitioning completely into Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) occupies Charlie’s mind, “The connection is there through Rob, and MMA is something I want to get fully into eventually.”

But the pandemic year for The Smiling Assassin wasn’t over for him yet in kicking goals. Charlie was offered in the fall of 2020 to fight in Melbourne at the 8-Man K1 Eliminator, three fights in a single night for the prize winnings of $20,000. Taking place in March 2021, Charlie says, “I got the offer, took that opportunity. The calendar ticked over to March and everything still had the greenlight to go for it. We put our foot down that night, fought three fights and won the prize money.” Charlie jokes about the perfect timing of his new sponsor ute, alluding that the prize money would had gone into fixing his previous vehicle.

After his victory of the 8-Man K1 Eliminator, it’s the next fight for Charlie that will be the most defining – the WBC Light Heavyweight World Title. To be held in Perth on June 5th, “It’s the fight that everyone wants. It’s all or nothing. It’s a high risk, high reward

...knowing I have done everything I’ve possibly can to be prepared.

Then, if someone does beat me... I know they’re one of the best... fight,” The Smiling Assassin says. His opponent, the formidable ONE Championship-signed Scotsman, George Mann. “He’s young but experienced and a southpaw. He’s lived in Thailand for ages, fighting over there before tearing it up here in Australia. I don’t think he’s lost yet while fighting Down Under,” Charlie explains.

Despite the challenging competition awaiting him in Perth, Charlie is undoubtedly equal, if not more than, to the abilities of the Scotsman he’ll be fighting. With a calculated approach in mind, The Smiling Assassin expressed, “It’s going to be tricky, but Danny and I are working hard, thinking tactically, making sure to not be drawn into a brawl during the fight. George’s too smart for that.”

Charlie’s mindset leading into any fight always comes back to this undeniable pragmatic thought process as he explains to me, “You got to keep telling yourself, you’re the best in the world. I’m really head-strong when it comes to the mental side of it. I don’t like to talk about it too much, because you sound a bit dickie when you describe it but it’s at that career point.”

“My alarm goes off in the morning, I’ve got the

option to sleep in or get up and go run. It’s getting cold, it’s dark, you don’t want to get out of bed and train as hard as you can before work every day. But you have to do it. So mentally, you leave nothing to chance. That’s the edge you’ll have over your opponent. With that knowledge of I’ve trained the hardest I can, so in a way, no one has the right to beat me. I put myself into that headspace, knowing I have done everything I’ve possibly can to be prepared. Then, if someone does beat me... I know they’re one of the best fighters in the world,” Charlie concludes.

In response to the above, I expressed to Charlie, “It’s going to be a good fight.” A grin emerges across his face before agreeing, “Yes it’s going to be a good one – it’s been a long time coming this fight. 10 years in the making that’s led to this point.

Hopefully, we’ll get to come home with the World Title.” Which if this is achieved, Charlie would like to defend the title for a few years to help legitimise his position further as many fighters retire when they earn the World Title to avoid being defected in future fights – but this possibility doesn’t intimidate The Smiling Assassin.

Comment AROUND THE REGION

with David Dixon

OCLife

Next Council more “West Wing” than “Life of Brian” Anyone of a certain generation will remember the all-too-familiar scene in Monty Python’s rather crude (but very funny) satire on the Gospel, the Life of Brian.

Brian — wanting to join the Jewish resistance fighting the Romans — is rebuffed for asking if he can join the “Judean People’s Front” rather than the “People’s Front of Judea”.

“The only people we hate more than the Romans, are the Judean People’s Front,” John Cleese spits in contempt.

What is called the “narcissism of small differences” was earlier satirised in Jonathan Swift’s “Gulliver’s Travels” where Gulliver is ensnared in a war between two tiny peoples (the Lilliputians and Blefuscudians) on the basis of which end of a hard-boiled egg they break first.

Sometimes politics in Australia seems to operate that way with much energy and heat rather than light generated between our major parties whom, rather depressingly, almost always seem to agree on most important issues.

Orange Council sometimes appears to run on a similar principle, with councillors often finding fault with each other at Council meetings on the basis of tiny nuances of language and emphasis. And yet they are all there to serve the community, something which they seem to achieve with some level of competency.

Yet to hear them sometimes barbing each other, one might guess that they were debating strategy for a major conflict or the very future of the Colour City.

With the local government elections coming-up in September, there has even been suggestions that some current councillors are only considering re-nominating, so as to stymie the candidature of nominees they don’t like!

Such a reason, if true, would have to rank as one of the worst reasons (well, apart from self-advancement) to run for office in a democracy!

But despite the seemingly-minor differences that seem to differentiate many of those elected to Orange Council, where party politics is the exception rather than the norm, there appears to be a flood of new blood ready to take-on the challenge of local government.

Only last week, the Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association endorsed their first-ever ticket for the Colour City with six candidates putting their hand-up to try out for the next Council.

The Greens are also looking to put-together a formidable team. Add Dr Steve Peterson’s growing Refresh Orange ticket, and you’re looking at some highpowered talent vying for 12 spots on the next Council.

SORE TIRED PAINFUL FEET? SEE A PODIATRIST TODAY

Reasons for this sudden interest in running for local government in the Colour City, may range from, the “life is local” phenomena that has developed from our lockdowns and subsequent bans on international, interstate, and, sometimes, regional travel during the COVID-19 pandemic, to a sense that regional towns like Orange are the future of our great State.

Whatever the reason, we can expect that the next Council on Orange will be more invested in a long-term vision for the Colour City than minor differences over policy and emphasis — more “West Wing” than “Life of Brian”.

A Firefighter’s Self-Preservation: 40 years in the Fire Brigade Lucknow Fire Brigade’s infamous Captain Grumpy and his beloved CAT-1 Tanker.

— SAMUEL RODWELL —

“It keeps me out of the pub” With his 71st birthday approaching on the horizon, Mick Bloomfield A.K.A. “Captain Grumpy” has been serving an impressive 40 years in the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) as a volunteer firefighter. Maintaining the rank of Captain for the last 17 years in the Lucknow Fire Brigade, Mick has no plans of slowing down nor hanging up his firefighter’s helmet, considering three years ago he was supposed to officially retire from the Rural Fire Service but here we are still. Justifying his continuous as a volunteer, “I do this because someone’s got to do it, and, if I retired, what would I do with myself?” Mick admits.

This is certainly a lifestyle and passion for Mick.

His love for what he does through the brigade from attending fire incidents, helping the public

to inspiring the next generation of firefighters through a cadet program he assists in running with local schools and the Canobolas Zone Fire Control Centre. “I get a lot of self-satisfaction out of what I do as a volunteer, helping the community where I can and when called upon. Plus, it keeps me out of the pub,” the Captain says with a big grin. Uniquely, what makes the last comment resonate more admirably, is the fact that Mick doesn’t like alcohol. “I’ve never been interest in drinking and all that stuff,” he says.

Although it’s the following detail that perhaps solidifies Mick’s disinterest in alcohol. Being his beloved fire brigade responds to more motor vehicle accidents (MVA) than any other station within our local reach. With Mick personally

responding to more than 170 car crashes along the Great Western Highway, averaging one MVA a month per year since 1995. As you can imagine, Mick has witnessed some horrific scenes, from the consequences of not only driving under the influence, but accidents caused by fatigue, distraction, impatience, and inexperience. With Mick’s station being renowned for stocking flurry toy teddy bears in their fire tankers, he explains, “We give the teddy bears to kids and adults at these crashes. You’ll be surprised what a little teddy bear will do for an adult who’s just been pulled from a car accident. It makes things easier to bear.”

When asked what the impetus was for “Captain Grumpy” joining the RFS all those years ago. It

didn’t take long for Mick to respond with a story.

He remembers it clear as day. “My wife and I had always volunteered and got involved in things all our lives for many different events and organisations. But I joined the Fire Brigade out of necessity. There’s a story behind it, years ago the kids were smoking under the pine trees and accidently set fire to them. The kids came down and said, ‘There’s a big fire up’ and farmers with their tractors and hoses came over to put the fire out. I said, ‘How did that happen?’ and the kids said, ‘Oh we were smoking’. So, I knew right then, out of self-preservation I should join the fire service,” Mick finishes with a chuckle. This is how it all began and now 40 years later and counting, Mick is still giving the good fight for his community.

Orange City Council’s New Pet Pound Opens — SAMUEL RODWELL —

“Once we got the funding and identified the site – it all happened very quickly.”

T

he newly constructed state-of-the-art $1.5 million pound wasz opened last week by Mayor Reg Kidd and the chair of the Orange City Council Companion Animal Community Committee, Cr Stephen Nugent.

“Fortunately, there was money set-aside in the budget to build the pound and establish a state-ofthe-art facility in Orange,” Cr Nugent explains.

“Now we’ve got a central facility where we can manage all stray cats and dogs in the city. That is good for the welfare of the animals with exercise yards, insulated kennels where the dogs and cats live while at the pound. It’s good for the community

because there’s greater certainty now about what to do with stray dogs and cats when people come across them. There’s now drop off dog cages, 24-hours a day so that’s a step forward in regards to what’s been available in the past,” Cr Nugent says.

Designed to help the Orange City Council to complete their important role of looking after stray pets, cats, and dogs, which live in our community alongside us. Under the Companion Animals Act, the Council is expected to operate under the act while servicing the people and the animals that will be facilitated at this new facility that consists of 32 cages designed for dogs and 18 cages purposed for cats.

These homes will awaken your imagination.

COVID PROVES LOCAL MODEL SUCCESS for Country Education Foundation Good deeds of rural-based groups like the Country Education Foundation (CEF) have become more important since the pandemic, Chief Executive Officer, Juliet Petersen believes. employment was the sector most impacted by the lockdowns,” Mrs Petersen said.

“That stream of income for any student is really important and, with the shuttering of many in the hospitality trade, the work of our of CEF volunteers became vital.”

National office for this important not-for-profit (charity) may be based in Orange, but much of its success rests with the on-the-ground work done from local volunteers who raise the funds to provide the grants and scholarships for country kids to get an education.

"Hundreds of bush kids get the boost from grants and scholarships offered by the CEF with last year’s COVID lockdowns affecting so many education providers in Australia, only emphasising the important role of the organisation," Mrs Petersen said.

“The financial impact of COVID was clear.

Student’s ability to hold onto or keep part-time

The local CEF committees (known as Foundations), Mrs Petersen explained, became important contact points for many house-bound students, some of whom may have felt that their dreams of independence were slipping-away.

“It was an extremely disruptive period; in many cases, our volunteers became a contact point for students who had made a big decision to leave home, and then had to return in what was an anticlimax for many.”

“Naturally, our Committees stepped-up mentoring of recipients to ensure that they were managing.”

She added that the pandemic lockdowns came after years of drought, bushfires, and challenging economic activity in many rural areas. ”It wasn’t just COVID, this is only the most recent in

Orange local Jonty Kingham described the support from CEF as: a series of difficult years in regional areas.

“But what COVID meant, was that everyone was in it together,” she added.

The CEF, she said: “provides grants, scholarships and other resources for rural and regional communities who demonstrate geographic and financial challenges.”

“These are challenges that are so different from metropolitan kids,” Mrs Petersen explained.

About 650 country students are being supported this year under the CEF, just 20 less than last year before the coronavirus crisis hit.

“We’re a not for profit that receives no government funding; our local foundations are all volunteers with money raised locally,” she added.

“They are a group of passionate, communityminded supporters of education.”

The local foundation, CEF Orange and District, this year is supporting a total of 17 students to help them follow their education dreams.

One of these is Jonty Kingham who described the support from CEF as “a massive help primarily with paying for rent while I was living on campus. It also helped pay for textbooks and the student services and amenities fee.”

He described the impact of having most of our

“It was definitely a challenge moving from Sydney back to Orange mid-way through the semester. I had just got settled in to living in Sydney, away from home and then the uni shut down all face-to-face teaching and I was forced to move back home,” he added.

The lockdown provided a new challenge for the local fundraising models of the individual Foundations as well.

“Fundraising was quite difficult. We had to step-up and support our communities so a fundraising campaign to match every dollar raised locally, was implemented, raising a massive $232,588 nationally, ” Mrs Petersen said.

Yet Mrs Petersen is confident that the CEF model has proven its resilience during this once in a 100-year medical lockdown.

“What the pandemic has shone a light on, is the strength of our community-based model; we were not going to let the students fall through the cracks, that’s what we’re here for.”

“That has been the strength of our model, and it really has been remarkable how we have withstood these challenges,” Mrs Petersen concluded.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO KEEP VINNIES VAN WHEELS SPINNING “We usually serve about 10 people at each stop. We need people to make the sandwiches and a crew of about four to five people to go around,” Mr Donnan explained.

ready to go and will be strictly adhering to all COVID-safe working practices”.

ORANGE VINNIES VAN IS BACK — 14 MONTHS AFTER THE CORONAVIRUS FIRST FORCED THIS VITAL FOOD SERVICE OFF THE ROAD. But more volunteers are needed to keep its wheels spinning with numbers down for all services offered by the iconic charity locally.

“Between our shop, warehouse, financial services, and the van, we’ve gone from about 120 people pre-COVID to about 70,” Regional Director North West Region of St Vincent de Paul Society, Phil Donnan, stated.

“And most of those people aren’t coming back. Most of our volunteers are seniors, and due to the pandemic, they’ve retired from our services,” he added.

Good news though is that the Van is back with a new crew from Monday, May 17. “We are pleased that the Vinnies Van will once again be servicing the disadvantaged in the Orange community with fresh food and drink,” he said.

It was a tumultuous 2020 with the fortnightly Van/Café service going into recess because of COVID-19 restrictions in March and then again in December because of insufficient volunteer numbers.

“We know the Vinnies Van/Café service is very much appreciated by the community hard-hit by COVID and changing economic circumstances.

“Coming into winter, many people will be seeking assistance with warm food and a friendly smile,” he said. “Our volunteers are

At this stage, though, Vinnies are only re-starting the Van service on a fortnightly basis on a Monday and Wednesday evening. “We’ve got enough volunteers to operate the van service fortnightly. We’ve got just enough to start-up again,” Mr Donnan said.

The lockdown had proved a far greater setback for the charity than it appeared when the first “flatten the curve” lockdown was enforced in late March 2020.

The Friday fortnightly Café lunch will only return once there are sufficient number of volunteers to provide the service. “We are appealing for volunteers in the community to make sandwiches, staff the van, prepare and cook meals and serve tables to help those in need.

“There are sufficient volunteer numbers to recommence the Van service, but additional people will be needed to expand this service and also to recommence the Café service each Friday fortnight,” Mr Donnan said.

“I’ve just had a look at the roster, and we’re really short for the 19th and the 31st of May,” Van Coordinator, Caroline Bucknell added.

“We’ve got enough people to go out, but we really need volunteers for the sandwich-making, which is held during the day,” she added.

The food van provides sandwiches, a piece of fruit, a biscuit or bar of some kind, and a drink (hot in winter, cordial in summer) at four locations around Orange: the Showground; the Kurim Complex in east Orange; Cootes Estate; and outside the Spring Street childcare centre.

“Shutting down in March not only knocked our income as our stores weren’t open, donations dropped-off, and then, when we re-opened, people had done a house-clean and we were flooded with goods we couldn’t process.

“It’s not just our van, looking at our other operations, we’ve lost people from the retail shop (in Peisley Street) the warehouse where we sort a lot of our donations, and our financial support services,” he explained.

He said that this services requires people with financial and clerical skills to “case-manage” loans and donations to those who have trouble paying their bills or even put food on the table.

“This type of work doesn’t require someone who has retired, it only needs someone to slip-in after work for a few hours and do some of the paperwork,” he explained.

Whatever your talents, Mr Donnan says, Vinnies will find a use for them, with youngish volunteers keenly sought-after. “We’re always after an infusion of new blood, especially our youth,” he concluded.

SENIORS FIND SECURITY IN

Regional Retirement As trends from around Australia indicate, one ripple effect of the pandemic has seen house prices surge in regional areas as increasing numbers of people seek a more laidback lifestyle over the hustle of living in big cities. But it’s not only the new wave of those working from home who are taking up residence in regional areas; retirees are also continuing to realise the benefits of a quieter post code.

With a strong regional footprint, the Oak Tree Group is experiencing this spike in demand first hand.

Amid this increased interest, it has also brought an increased sense of urgency, a clear shift in the mindset of seniors now bringing forward their decision to move to a retirement community.

Peace-of-mind and an attractive lifestyle are just some of key drivers fuelling many seniors’ decision to turn to an Oak Tree village.

Amidst all the uncertainty of the pandemic, our retirement villages can offer security in both the physical and financial sense. The unique structure of our model insulates owners from the volatility

of the wider property market, while our fixed-fee arrangement provides budget certainty. Within the village, the gated community provides a higher level of security, while the great facilities encourage familiarity with neighbours. The friendly, welcoming atmosphere will make you feel right at home in next to no time.

Throughout the pandemic, the need to have both lifestyle amenities and a support network close at hand has been more prominent than ever. Having quality retirement options in regional areas allows seniors to settle in areas you know – where you’ve put down roots and have friends and family nearby – without the need to relocate. Maintaining a sense of social connection, particularly for seniors, has never been more important.

And with purpose-built recreation facilities and close proximity to nearby shops and services, you’ll have everything you need to socialise with new and old friends, indulge your hobbies, try new things, and generally spend more time doing the things you love within a safe proximity to home.

Enhancing natural beauty is the aim of Natalie’s art

Refresh and rejuvenate with cosmetic nurse Natalie at Laser Clinic Australia’s Orange franchise.

W

ith the store located at Shop 48 near the Food Court in the City Centre, the highly-experienced registered nurse (RN) is an Orange local — born and bred.

“I began my nursing training at CSU Bathurst, finishing in Sydney.

“I’ve been a nurse for over 17 years; I’ve worked in Coronary Care, Intensive Care, Cardiac Rehab and theatres. I have a lot of experience in a whole range of fields, I’ve also worked at a number of specialist clinics,” she added.

they are after.

“I listen, and I let people explain their concerns and we work together on a treatment plan,” she explained.

Natalie then consults with a specialist physician on the treatment plan and products which will best achieve the results the client is after.

“I then skype the doctor and we have a sort of miniconsultation.

“I work independently, and I have a lot of experience but, as a medical professional, it is always great to have that back-up,” she added.

This extensive experience, she believes, has provided her with a depth of knowledge that can’t be gained overnight.

Natalie’s specialist training, she explains, involves three main procedures: “anti-wrinkle treatments; dermal fillers; and skin boosters.”

“This has helped me to build rapport with my clients, but also helped me understand different medical conditions, anatomy and the contra-indicators (limitations) for various treatments.”

“The anti-wrinkle treatment is designed to soften fine lines without changing your natural features, it also prevents new lines from forming. Anti-wrinkle treatment gives a rejuvenated and refreshed appearance to your skin” Natalie explained.

Natalie is a self-employed cosmetic injector at the Orange Clinic through her own company — Fresh Face Aesthetics.

She achieves her art through a range of techniques — but only after close consultation with each client.

“We first do a full-face consultation. This means, essentially, we give them a mirror and ask: ‘what is it that draws your eye?’,” Natalie said, adding that it is the client who ultimately determines the final result that

“Dermal fillers, made from Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally-occurring sugar in our bodies, are used for enhancement, and building structure.”

Skin Boosters are micro-injections of over 14 vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants with a uniquely-formulated dermal filler, giving the skin a boost of hydration.

Natalie believes that the secret of her trade, is in refreshing each client’s unique and innate beauty.

“I’m not looking to make people look ‘fake’ or ‘plastic’ or ‘different’, or to change who they are. I’m simply enhancing their natural features.”

Making clients feel comfortable and assured is another central element of her work. “People can often feel intimidated by the beauty industry, but it’s my job to ensure that my clients are comfortable with the treatment and that they are well-informed. It’s a journey we go on together,” she added.

Branching-out into her own business after years working in the health field has also revived her love for her profession, she added.

“I really love my work. It is great to be able to improve and maintain another person’s confidence. I’ve always been a down-to-earth sort of person, and that seems to resonate with many of our clients.”

Confidentiality of the nurse/client relationship is, Natalie adds, another key element in her professional training.

Being a lifetime local, Natalie believes in and invests in her work with a meaning that a fly-in, fly-out operator cannot provide. “My family is here. I am a local injector, and I am committed to providing professional treatments to the local community.”

“I have also had a number of clients who have travelled long-distances to see me for consultations, which is very gratifying,” Natalie said.

Major change of pace for Salvo’s Kate and Colin I certainly needed a break, I’d seen enough of burnt-out communities,” Colin said.

CHANGE OF PACE HAS BEEN THE ORDER OF THE DAY FOR NEW ORANGE SALVATION ARMY HUSBAND-AND-WIFE TEAM, MAJORS KATE AND COLIN YOUNG.

Their work here is, however, no less challenging — administering the Salvation Army and all its services and pastoral care in the local community.

With Kate having lived and worked previously in the Blue Mountains, Lithgow, and Bathurst, the Church’s work in the central west is not new ground for the couple. “If anyone knows the central west, it’s us,” Colin said.

Both have spent recent years at the sharpend of community support — Kate working with youth in inner-Sydney and Colin coordinating the Salvo’s response to major disasters.

“I was at the Oasis Youth Support Service in Surry Hills; I was the chaplain there for four years,” Kate explained.

“Oasis provided a safe place for young people to come and find support they needed through case work, accommodation, and in recent years, we started a school,” Kate added.

Aimed at youth 16–25, some had left home to escape unstable family situations, but found that their problems had gone with them.

“For many, it’s when they’ve left home, that they’ve got involved with drugs, alcohol, other substance abuse,” she explained.

While Kate was assisting troubled youth,

For new Orange Salvation Army husband-and-wife team, “Majors” Colin and Kate Young, a change of pace has been the order of the day.

Colin was helping in the battles against bushfires and floods: “I was the State Coordinator for the Salvation’s Army Emergency Services response,” he explained.

“I was responsible for first-response during natural disasters… bushfires, floods, storms.

We were one of the frontline agencies providing food, support, accommodation for

displaced persons.

“During the 2019 bushfires, we were constantly on the go, our teams worked non-stop for six months,” he explained.

The couple are now enjoying the broader roles involved in their redeployment to Orange. “They don’t want to burn people

For now, they are working towards making a success of the traditional Red Shield Appeal where local volunteers door-knock to raise funds for the Salvation Army’s charitable deeds.

“This is our biggest fundraiser for the year, and all money that is raised in Orange, will stay in Orange,” Colin said.

While Kate comes from an established Salvation Army background, Colin entered the Church via their iconic and emblematic marching music! “I came through the brass bands, pretty much any brass instruments,” Colin said enthusiastically.

Knowing your financial rights and how to get advice though can make all the difference, Legal Aid Solicitor, Jill Marshall says.

Jill pointed out that, while Legal Aid is almost exclusively known for its work in providing legal support for those involved in criminal trials, it also provides support in civil (financial) matters.

SAVE YOUR RETIREMENT… BUCKETS ARE THE ANSWER! “All too often clients say, ‘I want to go to Court, I know I’m right’, but mediation is a great alternative,” she added.

FEDERAL MEMBER FOR CALARE RUNS ON THE BOARD FOR ORANGE √ $29.8 million for the Dixons Long Point Crossing development √ $22 million for the CSU medical school √ $3.454 million for a new four-lane bridge and road upgrades over the Orange to Dubbo railway line

Your Country Your Voice

$2 BILLION FUNDING FOR GREAT WESTERN HIGHWAY! The Federal budget has delivered a major funding boost for the Central West with more than $2 billion announced for the Great Western Highway upgrade between Katoomba and Lithgow. This is a huge win for our region!

Construction on the project is expected to start in late 2022 and be finished by mid 2026. The Australian Government is supporting the Great Western Highway upgrade because it’s such a vital transport link and key regional project.

The funding will help us to get cracking on this corridor and it will also deliver an important employment boost, by supporting nearly 4,000 jobs over four years! It will be a great economic stimulus for local communities and small businesses.

I’d also encourage the NSW Government not to shelve its plans for a Bells Line of Road expressway! People are coming over the mountains in record numbers as they discover the advantages of life over the great divide and so I remain very supportive of getting that corridor upgraded as well.

149th ORANGE SHOW!

NGURANG-GU YALBILINYA

√ $19 million for the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health √ $2 million for the Forest Road Bridge duplication √ $18 million for a world-class health research facility √ $650,000 for a new hall at Orange Christian School

We are very lucky to have wonderfully dedicated and inspiring teachers in our area. Last week I met three who are making a real difference to the lives of young Australians.

√ $14.7 million for Mission Australia’s Benjamin Short Grove Aged Care facility

Local Canobolas High teachers Tim Bennett, Scott Sullivan and Mark Polley have developed an innovative approach to learning with the assistance of the Orange Local Aboriginal Land Council and the community. It’s called Ngurang-gu Yalbilinya (Place of Learning) and it’s based at the Scout Camp at Lake Canobolas for Indigenous boys.

√ $100,000 for new stadium seating at Wade Park √ $3 million for a second radiotherapy unit at Orange Health Service √ $15,000 for a new hydrotherapy spa at Anson Street School √ $1.42 million for an upgrade of Clergate Road √ $8,000,000 for an investigation of fast rail from Syd Parkes √ $2,000,000 for Stage 4 of Southern Feeder Road project √ $1,243,593 for new contemporary and flexible learning spaces at St Mary’s Catholic School √ $1,200,000 for CCTV in Orange, Bathurst and Wellington √ $1,118,979 for The Orchard crisis accommodation centre $2,000,000 for local projects under the Drought Communities Program $720,809 for local road upgrades in Orange

It’s fantastic to see our country shows back on their feet!

With beaut utes, radio stars, plenty of entertainment, events and displays (plus great weather - we’ve had some cold ones before!) the 149th Orange Show was a cracker this weekend.

Last week I put out the show ride challenge on Triple M Central West with Neil Gill and two local legends answered the call. Check out my Facebook post to see us in action!

I was very pleased that Orange Show received $15,000 last year under the Supporting Agricultural Shows and Field Days program.

The Supporting Shows funding program was launched to provide operational support for agricultural shows and field days who had to cancel because of COVID-19 in 2020.

A huge thank you to everyone who makes the Orange Show possible including the Show Society committee members, volunteers and members of our community!

During my visit, I checked out what the boys were learning in the classroom, before we tucked into a sausage and spud curry cooked on an open fire!

THE OLD BOYS ARE AT IT AGAIN, ALL FOR A GOOD CAUSE! A charity rugby union game between Old Boy members of the Emulators, Spring Hill Wood Ducks and the Bathurst Old Bulls in memory of the late Barry Winnell is on this Sunday!

Barry will be honoured with the presentation of a trophy created in his memory - the Wooden Duck.

COVID JAB IS EASY AND AVAILABLE! Last week I attended the Respiratory Clinic on level 2 at the new Bloomfield Medical Centre in Orange for my first AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine shot.

Getting vaccinated is voluntary but after discussing it with Dr Heather, I felt very comfortable going ahead with it as being the right thing to do for my own health and also for the the wider community. Once I had the facts it was a very easy decision to make.

I haven’t had any adverse side effects and making an appointment is really easy. The injection itself was virtually painless.

If you have any questions just ask your doctor or health professional.

As a bonus, the coffee out at Bloomfield is also very good so you can grab one on the way in or out! Thanks Dr Heather!

experience would be well-served on Council.

BEING A “MOCK COUNCILLOR” IS PROVIDING THE IDEAL TRAINING FOR THE REAL THING, NIC DRAGE BELIEVES.

“I have 15 years’ experience in sales and marketing in both Sydney and Orange and currently run my own business in the retail sector that I have been doing for the last four years.

Orange City Life’s “The Council Game” has proven the ideal way for the local businessman (owner of Games’n More) to test his views on our current Council in a real-time experiment.

“I am looking to run for Council, and I think ‘The Council Game’ has been a great idea. It has been a fantastic way to get my ideas out in the community,” he explained.

Nic is serious about his Council ambitions and already has the seed of a ticket (he and local health technician, Sarah Blake); a full set of policy ideas; and a yet-to-be released name for his grouping.

“We’ll be running as an independent ticket,” he explained.

“I’ve got a couple of people lined-up and a very unique name, but we’ve still got a little bit of time and we want the right people involved as well,” he said of the early September poll.

The central issue of how we interact with our natural world, however, is already looking to be one of the major platforms of his group, Nic said.

“Sarah, like me, is very much focussed on environmental issues; to ensure that what we are doing, is sustainable.

“That is the key. If Orange is growing, but it is in an

MOCK COUNCIL TO REAL SUSTAINABILITY FOR NIC unsustainable way, then it shouldn’t be growng at all,” he added.

“Our aim will be to provide transparent, independent, and honest decisions that are in the best interests of Orange and to have sustainable growth.

“I aim to facilitate constructive debate and discussion amongst councillors and the community and, while there will be a difference of opinion, it is imperative that those differences can be discussed civilly and constructively to ultimately provide an outcome that benefits Orange.”

For those who have made bashing the current Council their favourite pastime, he says, however,

“I am also currently studying a Bachelor of Legal studies through the University of New England and currently sit as the Vice-President of the Orange Business Chamber as well as having served on many association committees in the past.”

Nic firmly believes that, after nearly four years, the current crop of councillors, many of whom have been on Orange Council for decades, are suffering from indecision fatigue with an inability to make the hard yards.

don’t comment until you’ve walked in another man’s shoes. “Without having been on Council, it is difficult to criticise what they do,” he believes.

“I think the current Council is losing their ability to make the hard-decisions that must be made for this city.

He added though, that a new vision is required for The Colour City in the 21st century.

“They’re deferring almost all their decisions. They should just make a decision and be done with it,” he said.

“I think that the current councillors are doing what they believe is right, but their decisions are based around what Orange was in the 1990s; of what Orange was, not what it will be,” he said.

“It’s not the same place that it was 10–20 years ago… some councillors are simply not embracing the new people that are coming here now and the changes that this has had on the city,” he said.

He believes that his varied expertise and

He sees the wavering in Council over issues as diverse as the Bloomfield stadium proposal, the mini-pedestrian mall for Anson St, and the supermarket proposal for south Orange, as indicators of this malaise.

“I think the stadium idea is a fantastic thing, if that site in south Orange was available at the start, that’s the place it would have been built,” he said.

CHANGING FACE OF ORANGE

Raj and Rani’s warm Colour City welcome — DAVID DIXON —

Cold was the crunch issue that almost cost Orange Raj Kumar and Rani Kaur.

But in the end, the warmth of the Colour City’s welcome won-out over our frigid winter mornings.

Moving here in 2014 to open their mixed Thai-Indian Restaurant, Rani (full-name: Baljit) wondered if she’d survive her first winter.

But it was the kindness of acquaintances that helped get them through. The two list a number of locals — businesses, a solicitor, and a community liaison officer — who helped them survive their first years in hospitality.

“It’s a very good town, a very friendly town, and many people have helped us a lot. There are always people here to help you and guide you,” Raj (Rajesh) says.

Seven years later, Orange has not only become home for Raj and Rani but also for their two children, Harry, and Charis. “These two guys don’t want to live anywhere else,” Rani says.

a new life. “In India, there was not a lot of opportunity or jobs; it is totally different here, much better,” Rani said.

“Education was difficult to get, it was very hard to get jobs, here, you don’t have to worry about that,” she added.

The couple arrived at Melbourne in 2009 to study. “Harry was 14-month’s old, and I came on a student visa for hospitality management,” Rani explained.

But the onset of the global financial crisis — the worst monetary squeeze since the Great Depression — almost ended their time here.

“Within six months, I thought, ‘we have to go back’, but I say, ‘no, I don’t want o to go back’,” Rani says.

“Then Raj got a nice job with a food company, and, when I completed my study, I got a job offer at the Thai Buddha restaurant in Bathurst.

After maybe two years we decided to open our own restaurant,” Rani said.

“The first year was terrible, I was so cold, I was sick all of the time, and I said, ‘we have to move, maybe, I’m not sure I can take it,’ Rani — originally from the Punjab region in north-west India where summer daytime temperatures can touch 50 degrees centigrade — said.

“Every time we think we may have to return to Melbourne, I think, ‘we can’t, it’s home now to us’.”

“Also, these two guys (Harry and Charis) don’t want to live anywhere else, they said to us, ‘if you go, we stay here’,” Rani laughed.

They have looked with wonder at the increasing numbers of migrants from the sub-continent who are now making Orange their home, not just in traditional restaurants but also in food delivery, as taxi-drivers, and running petrol stations.

The advice from locals, though, was to “go west” for greater opportunities. “Everyone said, ‘go to Orange, it is a good town for business’, so we opened in 2014,” Raj added.

“When we came here, there was maybe two–three Indian families, now there are plenty,” Raj said, adding that visa restrictions on migrant families staying in larger cities makes Orange an attractive option.

Two years of Bathurst winters though did not

out in the country, and Orange for many is the first choice because it is such a nice city,” Raj said.

The two returned to India after eight years in Australia for about a month to attend a family wedding and felt they had both changed. “In India, I felt like I was visiting there, that I was a tourist,” Rani said. “And I was sick for the month,” Raj added.

They watch sadly at the increasing number of COVID-19 cases in their former home, putting the toll down to the high-population density in major cities and the tendency for people to congregate for large events, regardless of warnings over the spread of the pandemic.

“It’s very sad, if affects the poor people far more, and the Government doesn’t have the control that it has here,” Raj said.

Harry in Year Eight at James Sheahan plays both cricket and soccer, Charis in Year Six at Bletchington, has taken to netball. “She’s playing representative netball after having only played one term,” Rani says proudly.

“This is our home, two-three years ago, I said, to her, do you want to stay? and she said, ‘you can go, I’m staying here,” Rani laughed.

MT CANOBOLAS

BIKE TRAILS

I’ve been busy the last few weeks in NSW Parliament debating legislation and discussing matters important to our community but I’ve still managed to get out and about keeping my finger on the pulse with whats happening in our electorate. Hope your all enjoying this amazing Autumn weather and the winter sports.

Land and Housing I recently attended the first of four community consultation sessions held by Land and Housing Corporation regarding their proposed housing development in East Orange.

Cheers, Phil

Land and Housing Corporation already have vacant land and derelict housing they can direct their funding to, so when Parliament resumed at the beginning of May, my first speech was this notice of motion.

Central West Animal Rescue (CWAR)

Some believe the development of the proposed Mt Canobolas mountain bike trails will introduce weeds however as you can see, the weeds are already there and are clearly not being managed.

There’s plenty of evidence supporting that revenue raised from use of public land provides improved land management and prevents the likelihood of pests and weeds to flourish. I’m 100% supportive of this project and believe this will be fantastic to our community.

Good News for the

O’Brien Centre

Following our objections to the O’Brien Centre being displaced because NSW Health were wanting to sell off the site, we’ve received word that the DA has now been withdrawn.

After sharing in the good news, I joined the group in some activities and checked out some of their artworks.

NSW Rugby

CWAR have Deductible Gift Recipients status so all donations over $2 are tax deductible. I’ve donated to this great organisation and cause, and I’d invite you to do the same.

The Resilience Project

Energetic presenter Martin Heppell shared his life’s experiences with staff from both Orange and Canobolas High Schools to put elements of this mental health program into perspective.

This is a fantastic initiative and I applaud those schools who’ve embraced this program and the opportunity to improve the mental health and wellbeing of our school kids.

Well done Wayne Hill, who has secured the funding and promoted this program to local schools.

Fire & Rescue NSW Open Day

It’s not often that all sides of politics see eye-to-eye, but Rugby has a way of uniting people from across the political and community spectrum. Recently, I joined with other pollies for the Parliamentary friends of Rugby meeting with special guest, NSW Rugby CEO Paul Doorn.

I met up with CWAR’s Founder and President, Jasmine Smart, along with a few of her volunteer foster carers who rehomed over 400 animals last year alone. They’ve been running for over four years and their foster home network has expanded across the Central West to include Orange, Dubbo, Mudgee, Lithgow and surrounds.

Native Fish Species

Native fish species such as yellow belly need to travel hundreds of km’s upstream to be able to breed, however due to plenty of weirs in the Lachlan River, we need the installation of fishways or fish ladders, such as this one at Bumbuggan Creek weir. I’ve asked Minister Adam Marshall to provide information regarding fish ladders on the Lachlan and I’ll be following up on how he will be delivering the necessary infrastructure.

FRNSW Open Day gives the community an opportunity to visit their local fire station, thank their local firefighters and learn more about fire safety.

The Council Game

What happened at Council on 4th May 2021?

The Council meeting of 4th May dealt mainly with Planning issues.

A 155-space child care centre was approved for the Bloomfield Medical Centre precinct. Council also refused a rezoning application to allow for a 1,000 square metre supermarket to be built as a part of a retail precinct in another part of the Bloomfield site.

Following a Public Forum at which several Curran Street residents spoke, on grounds ranging from car parking shortages, congestion on the narrow street and an over development of the site, Council deferred a decision on plans for a boarding house to have an on-site inspection and seek extra information and reports plus discussions with the developer about revising the submission.

Council was also told a 40 km/h speed limit would be in place on part of Leeds Parade as part of traffic measures in place for this weekend’s Orange Show.

mock mayor

Amanda Spalding I listened to the Council meeting of 4th May on YouTube at double the recorded speed as that halves the time spent listening!!

Most of the issues discussed were Planning issues.

There seemed to be a great deal of confusion amongst the Councillors about how to deal with a deferral of consideration of a DA. It is my experience, that the training of Councillors in NSW on Planning matters can be very poor, partly because of the attitude of the Office of Local Government that they only look after the Local Government Act, so Planning is hardly mentioned in the Councillor Handbook as Planning is legislated by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, which is the responsibility of whichever form the NSW Planning Department is taking at any particular time.

I was an Executive Director in Planning NSW many years ago, responsible for the reform of the NSW

24 MAY 13 — 19, 2021

Planning system. I established a Local Government Liaison Committee to discuss the development and implementation of the proposed reforms with local government stakeholders. My colleagues in Planning NSW were shocked that I took this action and asked, ‘what does local government have to do with planning’?

Decisions of successive State governments have gradually diminished councils’ and communities’ authority to determine what and how development occurs in their local areas. I would like to scrap the current NSW Planning system and start all over again as the legislation and regulations are so layered and complex that few people understand them. Surely, the measure of good legislation is that it is fit for purpose and understood. Where there is confusion, there is suspicion from the community about the motives of the people who operate the system. I have talked before about Orange City Council’s use of spin instead of facts. It does seem to me that Councillors and staff can become so set on a particular course of action that they will use any method to continue along that path, rather than reconsidering as more information comes to hand.

There is a strong belief that the end justifies the

means. This is the danger of "Group Think" when we do not have diversity in the people making decisions.

I would love to see an efficient, fair, and locally-led planning system that prioritises quality of life and meets the needs and expectations of local communities including ensuring that the voice of local communities is heard.

As the system is currently so complex, it is often difficult for members of the community to understand whether something their neighbour is doing is legal or should be stopped by Council.

I recently heard from someone who had to fight for a long time to stop a neighbour’s land being used for an industrial purpose in a residential zone.

His suggestion was that Council should send information about zoning and allowable activities to each property owner with their rates notices.

Now, this would take considerable resources to set up, but once it was in place, it would be easy to run.

Councillor Turner did recently suggest that as an extra year has been added to this Council’s term, there are some decisions that this Council should leave to the next Council after the local government elections on 4 September 2021.

THE COUNCIL GAME

mock councillor

Frances Kinghorne

The council meeting last week involved discussion on a wide range of issues. As with every livestreamed meeting, there were issues with microphone use and it was, once again, difficult to hear everything. However, in this case it was not necessarily a bad thing. There were parts of this meeting that appeared completely chaotic.

The few voices of reason were virtually drowned out by the self-absorbed, uninformed and repetitive waffle of the remainder. It was excruciating at times.

Where the sound issues were irritating was when I couldn’t hear the casting vote decision on the zoning change proposal for the shopping centre at the Bloomfield Private Hospital precinct. I was quite interested in this, being a proprietor of a relatively centrally-located business, and I share the concerns of speaker Kate Gray, about empty shops in the CBD and the negative effects of Covid-19 on some retailers. I certainly don’t think it’s necessary to have a giant supermarket at Bloomfield. A childcare centre, on the other hand, is a great idea, especially if it’s open long enough hours to cover the shift work undertaken by many staff at the hospital(s), and the mine.

There was some discussion about whether some of our existing traffic lights are actually necessary and that perhaps they are under-utilised, or have pedestrian buttons pushed inappropriately. This included the two sets quite close to each other in Woodward St at Orange High School. I drive through these every day on my way to work and have never found them to be very problematic. In terms of traffic flow, they’re definitely preferable to a pedestrian crossing. In relation to the inappropriate button pushing, it is irritating but that doesn’t outweigh the pedestrian safety advantages, especially outside schools.

Let’s focus on things that actually matter and stop stressing about minor things.

Greater Good

I wanted to move away from the Council meeting last week and talk about something else that I think voters should consider. The topic is social media.

We’re all aware how social media has been used in elections over recent years, many at the highest level, and how influential it can be. Sadly, a lot of people seem to use it for either confusing the electorate, spreading mis-information, slurring candidates in various ways and so on, and sadly as they say, some mud sticks.

I’m concerned that in the coming Council elections, Orange voters will be subjected to similar goings on. One only has to look at the type of comments people put on the various news and community sites to try and discredit others.

Judging by some comments, people who love to sling mud, often can’t spell which suggests their brains are made of rubber. What makes it more difficult is that it’s often hard to know what agenda the various contributors have. Often the same names come up over and over again, almost as if they’re making an occupation out of being a sort of a wannabe pseudo social media shock jock. To make matters even worse, comments land on the sites without any screening and if they are eventually pulled down, the damage may have been done.

It would be a pity if good candidates were to miss being elected simply because, let’s call them the "social media mafia", couldn’t be controlled.

I think the message is, don’t believe everything you read on social media, look for more credible sources to get the information you need.

NIC Drage

Something that has been top of mind lately has been priorities. It was interesting that this was also a topic that came up for discussion in this week’s council meeting, in particular to do with location of traffic lights.

It was interesting to hear the Mayor this week ask about the need for traffic lights in front of Orange High on Woodward street and Kinross on Bathurst Road. It is concerning that there seems to be a higher priority on traffic flow rather than on pedestrian safety especially safety of young people. The fact that there is a desire to remove traffic lights that are in place to provide pedestrian safety is very disappointing. In particular, a number of councillors want to remove the ones on Bathurst Road on the grounds that they have not seen them used and it is more important to keep the traffic flowing, however I have seen them used multiple times and more often than not, by parents with children either walking or in a pram.

That set of lights is not just for students, it is a connection between the southern side of Bathurst Road to medical services at the Wellness House as

well as access to Memory Park. There seems to be a common theme that priorities of councillors do not seem to reflect that of the general population. This may well be a product of the change in Orange in the last four years or it may be a product of councillors serving too long on council and still treating Orange like it was in the past. With how Orange has grown and matured, we need a council that will put a priority on sustainability and provide more diversity across the community.

mock councillor

Daniel McGregor At this week’s council meeting, there was discussion about a proposed rezoning at Bloomfield to allow for retail development.

Some of the councillors spoke about knocking this proposal back because of concern about the number of empty shops we already have in the CBD. Back in mid-2019, together with other members of a group called Put Orange First, I organised a public meeting to discuss concerns about retail business in the CBD. There were already a number of vacant shopfronts at that time and COVID has only made that worse.

The Mayor told a story at that meeting about how his relatives ran a store in the CBD for decades and that lease costs were not an issue, as though that story was somehow relevant to today?

We were also told that there was plenty of spending going on in the CBD because of some (I would argue) vague EFTPOS data that Council pays to get.

Essentially, those councillors at the meeting were unwilling to acknowledge the problem that was evident to anyone who walks down Summer Street.

Now, almost two years later, we are seeing rezoning applications being knocked back for the very reasons we identified back then.

It was a head-in-the-sand approach back then and, in between, we’ve seen Council handing-out $50 gift cards to try and support retail and having large black and white historical images placed on empty shop fronts to try and mask the number of empty shops.

I was disappointed at the time that some from Council, the Mayor in particular, were unwilling to acknowledge the reality of the situation.

Makes me think of the following quote: "The critics are the true optimists because they believe things could be better."

I know I will always want better for Orange and that starts with having real conversations.

POT STIRRER

I’ve been watching Council meetings now for several months and regular readers would be well aware of how critical I have been about the way the meetings have been conducted and the type of commentary Councillors offer on the various issues. I wouldn’t blame readers if they were starting to get the feeling that I had nothing good to say about our Councillors, but of course if you’ve also been reading many of the comments from my fellow Mock Councillors, you’d realise that I’m not the only one who feels this way. Last week’s meeting was no different and I feel if enough people took time to watch a small segment of that meeting, you’d understand why I and others believe we can do better.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t watch the whole meeting, I called it a night about an hour and half into the meeting, it was deplorable, possibly as bad as I’ve seen recently. It’s pretty clear that many, if not all of our present Councillors are not up to the task, even those who have been there for yonks. Council staff must also be frustrated by what happens to much of their hard work when it goes before Councillors.

It’s a big call but I don’t think too many people, especially developers or those wanting to start businesses here, will speak well of Orange Council if we don’t make some changes.

The very best way for you, the voters, to judge the fairness of what I’m saying is to watch part of the live stream of last week’s meeting. Watch the segment between 7.32 and 8.01pm, that basically says it all, and it is a good indication of how our

We have a chance to bring change in September, let’s all make sure we’re ready to vote with a good understanding of what needs to be done and who’s putting their hand up to do it.

Steve Peterson

The council meeting Tuesday 4th demonstrated the importance of town planning and Council being a mechanism for Orange to encourage what we need and avoid what we don’t.

... I thought it was great that residents could say their piece and seemingly be listened to...

The first issue was residents living near to a proposed boarding house on Curran Street presenting eloquent and researched concerns as to whether adequate parking space was available. My understanding is that the allocated spaces almost fulfilled the minimum requirements of parking required of community housing. However this was assuming that many

people living there would not be using cars.

Pre-quadriplegia, I was a cycling /running to work enthusiast, but that would not be suitable for the majority of people in the middle of winter.

Requirements that might be suitable for Sydney, do not always translate well to regional centres like Orange. Using public transport or other ways to avoid needing a car will not work as well here, so this should be considered in developing applications and in this instance more parking be planned. I hope this will occur. I thought it was great that residents could say their piece and seemingly be listened to.

Another issue was whether a 1000m2 supermarket was suitable at the Bloomfield campus. I think a smaller convenience store to service people working at Cadia mine or the base hospital would be useful. A big supermarket with minimal surrounding development less so.

Thinking about traffic congestion near north Orange shops, I would be concerned how additional vehicle requirements could be accommodated given this part of town will already be busy with the hospital and the new stadium. I think it was sensible to hold off. Very happy however for an approval for a childcare centre in the same area as it is something we do need more of in Orange.

If you’re thinking about standing for Council this year, you’re eligible to play.

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

THIRTY DEATHS IN EIGHT DAYS screamed the headlines in Lithgow a little over one hundred years ago.

On 31st March 1919, David Owen, Lithgow Municipal Health Officer, was moved to write the Mayor of Lithgow a letter*. In it he said: Dr Hutley, Local Government Medical Officer has summoned me to his residence and informed me that an outbreak of pneumonic influenza had occurred in the municipality and that at least five persons are suffering from the disease.

As a result of his letter a meeting of doctors and aldermen was held and it was decided that, as the isolation ward at the local hospital was fully occupied, the local school should be closed down and the building used as a makeshift hospital.

The Town Clerk was then asked to take the necessary steps to do this.

However, it wasn’t until much later in the week that, after repeated telephone calls had been made, the matter was accomplished by the reception of a wire.

Or a telegram.

The pandemic was increasing in the Lithgow district with an average of four deaths a day. Between 10th and 30th April, eighty-one people died.

To add to the problem, doctors and nurses, who had worked tirelessly with little rest, were becoming ill themselves.

There was a crisis in the cemetery: gravediggers were in short supply.

Nothing seemed to stop the onslaught of the disease which seemed to be hitting the young and previously fit.

In 1919, more than six thousand people died in NSW from what was called

PANDEMIC! the Spanish Flu. Perhaps as many as 15,000 died overall in Australia and, probably, between 20 and 50 million world-wide. The origin of that variety of the influenza virus was not Spain at all. The disease was first observed in mid-west USA and probably spread to Europe via American troops during the latter part of the First World War. It arrived in Australia in the beginning of 1919 despite quarantine measures being instigated on ships arriving from abroad.

Restrictions on internal movement, quarantine camps and even a vaccine were all introduced fairly rapidly but with predictable fractiousness between the states and the new Federal Government.

This month the Orange Oral History Group met to discuss their own experiences with the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic and the changes to our way of living that may possibly occur in the future.

No one in our group seems to have resented the restrictions which were imposed upon us and voiced approval at the way the authorities had reacted.

Of course, we in Orange have been very fortunate in that we have barely been touched at all. In parts of Sydney and particularly in Melbourne it has been different. Dick told us: “My son lives in Melbourne. He was restricted to a 5k limit from home and living alone and working from home took some getting used to.

“There were some problems with relationships during the lockdown.

A colleague of my son went to

Queensland to see his girlfriend just before the Pandemic and then they were forced to be isolated together for quite some time. It broke up their friendship completely.

And another couple I knew decided to go on a caravan trip and their marriage ended after the enforced isolation together!”

Fran thought of the problems that beset some people:

Reg, who is in aged care, has a wonderful attitude to adversity. He is used to facing difficult situations, having been a bushman and a drover over his long life. He had nothing but praise for the way he was looked after during isolation although naturally missed visiting his mates.

Finally, we wondered if the changes in lifestyle we have experienced will stay with us. Will we keep washing hands, avoiding close contact and staying home with colds or flu?

Doreen seemed to think there were habits we might adopt:

“Alcohol abuse seems to have been a problem. It wasn’t easy for many people to work and at the same time to try to home-school their children, especially if they didn’t have the correct equipment or space.”

Some families made the best of it and found themselves enjoying the time with their children to walk together and do things in ways they hadn’t done for years.

Ann told us of one little boy who asked recently: “Why can’t we go back to lockdown?”

Richard held us riveted when he explained his experience in Isolation.

As we listened to him with sympathy, he told us with a straight face: “Just before it all began, I had been to Egypt and suddenly I was told I would have to get back to Australia as soon as possible and go into hotel isolation.

“It was dreadful!

“I was put into a hotel at Circular Quay, with three bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and lounge, TV and a full fridge and three meals a day. I really had a terrible time!”

“There could be changes in the workforce. There may be no fixed desks, more working from home leading to less traffic on the roads and less air pollution as a result.”

Keith thought there was more respect for medical authorities and Leslye agreed that we might have more time if we travelled to work less and were not so stressed in traffic.

It is difficult for any of us to know what the future will bring. We do realise that we have been, so far, far less affected by this pandemic than we might have been.

Our thoughts are with the people of India and other parts of the world who have been far less fortunate.

People are even now moving out of cities and finding the joys of a more peaceful life. Could this all lead eventually to a more contented way of living?

Perhaps. But did we learn much from the influenza pandemic of 1919? Reading the accounts and reports written at the time, there is much that is familiar! * In Report of the Lithgow Municipal Health Officer 31st May 1919. National Library of Australia Copyright Helen McAnulty

TIMEWARP

Packing apples at Coote’s Orchard Autumn is always a busy time of year on Orange district orchards as the apple and pear crops are harvested. Back in the 1950s and 60s, many district orchards were family-run affairs, with everyone pitching in to pick, pack and despatch the fruit.

This week’s photo shows packing in full flow at Coote’s Orchard in Lone Pine Avenue in April 1969 after rain had delayed the harvest.

Photo courtesy CWD negative collection, Orange and District Historical Society.

The society holds a work day at Heritage Cottage (148 March Street) each Wednesday from 10.30am to 4pm (with a lunch break from 1–1.30pm). Members are available to answer inquiries at this time.

The

HOLLIES A decade of chart dominance

It would be interesting to find out how many successful rock bands can trace their roots back to high school or primary school.

It’d be hundreds!

It’s a common story in rock history.

Also common in rock history is members of bands having a passion for one of the early greats – a Buddy Holly, Elvis Presley, or in the case of “The Hollies,” it was the Everly Brothers that captivated Allan Clarke and Graham Nash.

The pair met in primary school and eventually formed a band in the 50’s playing skiffle music.

But, in 1962, the band we know as “The Hollies came into being in Manchester, England in the form of “The Deltas.”

It wasn’t a smooth birth for a band though!

There was a merry-go-round of players from different Manchester bands in 1962 that ended with Clarke and Nash joining the remains of a band that had lost two of its members to another band, “The Mindbenders.”

But it was a stroke of luck all round for “The Hollies” members, because while they had almost 20 top 40 hits in Australia, “The Mindbenders” had three minor hits and one top 10 (“Groovy Kind of Love” – 1965).

38 MAY 13 — 19, 2021

Sometimes we zig when we should zag!

It was a 1963 gig at the famous Liverpool venue, The Cavern Club that brought the first major breakthrough for “The Hollies” when they were spotted by Parlaphone record company producer, Ron Richards.

In England their first single release was actually the song they had recorded as their Parlaphone demo. It was a cover of “The Searchers” song “(Ain’t that) Just Like Me.” The second single was also a song that had been a hit for “The Searchers,” 1957’s “Searchin’.”

Then in 1964 they released the song that would see them debut in Australian charts and was their first entry into the UK top 10.

“Just One Look” managed to peak at number 20 in Australia and number two in the UK. In mid-1964, they followed up with “Here I Go Again” which became a solid seller.

By then they were on the radar of radio music programmers in Australia but two further releases in 1964 failed to get airplay and failed on the charts.

But that changed a year later when “I’m Alive” found its way onto the airwaves and peaked at 11.

Another couple of releases subsequently quietly

found themselves in the cut price bin at the record store before a massive run of success kicked off.

And I DO mean massive!

“Bus Stop” entered the Australian top 40 charts in July 1966 and not only cracked the top 10 but shattered it!

It went to number two and stayed on the hits countdown for 14 weeks.

Following “Bus Stop” came “Stop, Stop, Stop” making number nine, “On a Carousel” came in early 1967 and peaked at 10, “Carrie Anne” made it to number five, and “King Midas in Reverse” ended the golden run. (Did you see what I did there)!

“Dear Eloise” was a mid-level hit after that, along with “Jennifer Eccles.” (As a young kid, I always thought they were singing “Jenny Frrrreckles”. Yep, a “Mondegreen.”

In 1968 Graham Nash left “The Hollies” to join Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and Young).

But despite that important lineup change, along came another run of hits.

“Sorry Suzanne” was the next single and made number 12. It was followed by their biggest hit of all, 1969’s number one monster seller “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother.”

“He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My brother” was an example of a band moving with the times, as the 60’s gave way to the 70’s and music styles and sounds were changing.

The follow-up to that, 1970’s “Gasoline Alley Bred” also highlights that shift in style and sound, and also continued their massive success as it peaked at number six.

Over the next five years “the Hollies” continued a rich vein of hit making.

In 1972 “Long Cool Woman In a Black Dress” made number three, then in 1973 was “The Air That I Breathe” peaking at four and 1975 their last chart hit in Australia was “I’m Down” which made number 18.

Like “The Rolling Stones” “The Hollies” are one of the rare bands that are still operational – well, pre-covid they were!

Also like the very best of their era, the band has been inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.

Original members Tony Hicks, who is 75, and Bobby Elliot, 79, officially still head-up “The Hollies.”

The whisper is that Bobby won’t re-appear on stage post-covid, but Hicks is likely to continue.

“The Hollies” story continues.

Wild Chicory is the story of a journey from Ireland to Australia in the early 1900’s, along threads of love, family, war and peace. It’s a slice of ordinary life rich in history, folklore and fairy tale, and a portion of the precious bond between a granddaughter, Brigid, and her grandmother, Nell.

HER ONE TRUE DARLING

Nell Kennedy fell in love with Stevie O’Halligan in the playground at St Peter’s School sometime near the beginning of September 1913. She was seven and threequarter years old; he was just turned ten, and he was playing donkey-league with all the other boys. It was always a rough game, where they’d organise themselves into two teams, each boy taking another onto his back and then the teams would run altogether at each other in a clash of boots and heads.

Normally, Nell didn’t watch them – she saw enough of all that sort of thing in her own

Wild Chicory — by Kim Kelly house, especially now her mother was always busy with the baby. But this day, her eye was caught by the snowy hair of this new boy, Stevie. He was tall and strong and he just about danced as he ran, darting through the pack of boots and heads, with fat Andy Collins on his back. Her heart was caught when this Stevie boy stopped still amid the scrum to pick up one who had fallen down and grazed his knee. The way Stevie O’Halligan placed his hand on the other boy’s shoulder to see that he was all right made Nell know that this was the boy she would marry one day. Someone brave and gentle, just like her dad.

But within the month, both had vanished.

Her dad didn’t come home one day, nor ever again. It wasn’t the done thing for a child so young as Nell to attend a burial or a funeral mass in those days, of course, so Nell couldn’t ever quite make sense of it. She didn’t quite believe her dad was gone. Run over by a cart going too fast downhill on its way to Paddy’s?

Witches’ fingers of chicory root smashed all over the street? Couldn’t they find her dad under the sacks that toppled from the cart? What did the witches do with him? She dreamed it and dreamed it, but could never find him herself. Then Stevie, it soon became apparent, had gone, too. She summoned up the courage to ask the teacher, Sister Gregory, if Stevie had died as well, but the sister told her kindly: ‘No, lass, Steven has only gone back to his home. He lives in the countryside.

He was only visiting for a time.’ Still, Nell looked for him in the playground every day, just as she listened for her father’s footfall to come down the hall every evening.

Life went on: her mother chasing baby Pete around and daily mourning the loss of her garden at Ballymacyarn, for she had no garden here in Surry Hills to feed her family.

For all the sunshine and for all the enormous quantities of horse manure throughout the streets, the quality of vegetables for sale in this city was a travesty – as was their extortionate price. The meat was always tough and on the turn; sausages tasted of sawdust; the tripe was leathery. But Nell never once complained; she overheard her eldest brother Danny crying alone in the lane one night when she crept out to the privy, a sound that made her promise never to complain even in her thoughts. When she was

sitting out on the back step one afternoon, pushing her fist into her belly to stop it churning around nothing, to push the hunger pain from her with another, her brother Pat sat down beside her and gave her the smoke he’d just rolled: ‘Here,’ he said. ‘It helps.’

It did in a strange way: the burning down her throat was another pain keeping the hunger at bay, while the dizzy spell it gave her made her laugh; and that made Pat laugh, too. Even Danny laughed at the sight of his tiny sister having a puff. She could also have as many cigarettes as she liked, for while her brothers had such trouble getting work that would pay the rent, they were regularly enough called upon by a fellow from Customs House to help with the unloading and concealment of contraband tobacco and opium come in on ships here and there from Manila. Nell was not aware of any of these illicit goings-on, of course, nor that this relationship between the authorities and the Kennedy boys would ultimately help them in setting up their little betting shop round the corner in Elizabeth Lane. All she knew was that, one day soon, they were moving on again.

It was only up the hill to the top of Crown Street, and it didn’t have garden enough for anything but a handful of tomatoes and beans, but it was big and she even had her own room – sort of. It was an alcove beside her mother’s bed where a wardrobe was supposed to go, and it was diagonally opposite Pete’s cot, too, but it felt like her very own room. Her brothers had made her a special bed from an old door stacked up on bricks to fit the space, all draped with a curtain of lavender velvet Mick had got just for her – a whole bolt of the stuff, which had by some trick of fate fallen off the back of a cart.

Life went on: a war began in Europe, lighting up war with the Uptons and the Boyles down the road, her three eldest brothers then disappeared in uniform, and Pete nearly burned down the house. Pete – that Lucky little Pete – was so annoying, he could get away with murder. Somewhere in her heart, she knew that her mother clung to that last little boy for all that she’d lost when her husband died, and all the fearfulness she felt for her boys gone abroad, but Nell harboured a little streak of hatred for him nevertheless.

Pete had almost incinerated her lavender curtain, but there were a thousand more reasons to hate him than that: the way their mother would always give him the biggest share of apple peelings, or the bone of her chop to suck, or the last stick of rhubarb sprinkled with sugar – it all drove Nell quietly insane. No wonder Pete couldn’t talk properly, she’d grumble to herself – their mother was always shoving food in his mouth, or pinching his fat little cheeks. Nell couldn’t get five minutes of her mother’s attention even if Johnny Upton tried to kill her in the street.

Nell took every opportunity to keep out of the house, whenever her mother didn’t need her. She’d roam all the way along Cleveland Street and across to Centennial Park, sometimes with her brothers Tommy or Jack, and once or twice with Eileen Tighe, her friend from school who lived halfway there on South Dowling Street, but mostly she’d go alone, just because she liked to be alone, walking, walking, going to the park. She loved those long hours of freedom on a Saturday afternoon or long summer evening and, once inside the park, she’d take off her shoes to feel the cool of the clover beneath her bare feet; she’d close her eyes and pretend she was back in Ballymacyarn. Her memories of her home in Ireland were already fading into dreams, but she’d find her longing and her fill of love in the tiny flowers she’d spy on her walks, and it was always worth being bawled out by her mother for being late in just to see them. Tiny lilac stars of onion weed, drifts of even tinier white daisies she’d never know the name of, and graceful little sky-coloured bells that everyone called blueberries, that weren’t berries at all but small lilies that grew somehow miraculously out of half-dead seeming clumps of grass. These last were the colour of forget-me-nots; they were the colour of her father’s eyes. They weren’t neat spots of sky like her Irish forget-me-nots, though; these were raggedy and drooping splotches of blue, but they were her forget-me-nots – here, in this city. She dreamed they were raggedy and drooping from the fairies wearing them out at their midsummer balls. They were very sad and very beautiful all at the same time.

But, oddly enough, her favourite new flower was the strangest, one that was like none from her old home: it was the golden wattle.

MAY 13 — 19, 2021 43

Wild Chicory — by Kim Kelly On the first day of spring each year, now that she was in primary school, her whole class would go out into the countryside to pick great armfuls of these cheerful, bobbling blooms to decorate the church and the schoolrooms for Wattle Day. The so-called countryside wasn’t very far out of the city – it was only a patch of scrub a few miles away at Kingsford, just off the tram line, but every time they went there, she’d look out again for Stevie O’Halligan, wondering where in the country he was. Until she started sneezing.

With her arms full of wattle, she would sneeze – and sneeze, and sneeze a thousand times – so the whole class would be tumbling around laughing, even the Sisters. That was always the best part of the day. That such laughter could burst from so little; that this bush that had only a week or so ago been so dull and grey was now so suddenly shouting with happy colour.

School was Nell’s most happy place, though.

There was always so much to do and think and dream, that whatever else might have been going on went well by the wayside while she was there. Her teacher was Sister Mary-Bernadette, and Nell was one of her favourites – she was always being picked to read out for the class, or to sing, as Sister Mary-Bernadette said Nell had the music of the south-west in her voice – the south-west of Ireland, that is. The school even had a little library of its own, and Nell could borrow books and take them home, books of bible stories, fables and fairytales – and even an illustrated book of carpentry that Nell was quite taken with for a while.

Her mother wasn’t always as enthusiastic about her daughter’s schooling, however.

Brigid Kennedy was suspicious of anything that went beyond the three r’s – especially for a girl. A girl shouldn’t be too well educated – only enough to read for her husband as required, but never enough to embarrass him. And when she learned that the Lasallian Brothers at the boys’ Superior school wanted to bring classes for Gaeilge into not only that establishment, but for the little ones still with the Sisters of Mercy at Saint Peter’s, she was moved to make a protest at the parents’ meeting. The language of Ireland might have been romantic for some whose families had left generations ago, but it was a stigma still

44 MAY 13 — 19, 2021

fresh and sharp for many newer arrivals: it was the language of illiteracy, poverty and prejudice, and Brigid Kennedy would not have her children speaking a word of it.

She was straight-backed and adamant with terror at what the failed Easter Rising in Dublin just past would bring them now, too: the Irish rebels had been rounded up and murdered by the British lords, as you would expect – but would that mean bullets rather than bricks through windows in the streets of Surry Hills now? It didn’t, but neither did the push for Irish patriotism in the schools go ahead. Still, having picked up tantalising pieces of the argument herself, every day at school little Nell Kennedy waited to hear the music of her Irish language, but she never did again.

Instead, she received a special letter from her brother Pat, from the trenches in France, reminding her to work hard at her lessons, because he was putting money aside to see to it that she would go on to high school at St Anne’s. She slept with that letter under her pillow to see to it that all wars would end, and that he would come home, bringing Danny and Mick with him.

A most extraordinary thing occurred before the war did end, though: Stevie O’Halligan reappeared, in the March of 1918. Nell was walking out of the schoolyard, taking the long way round via Marlborough Street past the boys’ school, to avoid run-ins with the nasty Prots across the blocks along Crown, when she saw him. She knew him by his snowy hair and the smooth but strapping way he walked. She had to stop herself from calling out, even though she’d never once spoken to him before. She was twelve years old; he was almost fifteen.

Something made him turn around and the sun came out as it had never done. He said, as smooth and strapping as his walk: ‘I know you, don’t I? Miss Kennedy, isn’t it?’

Up until this day, no-one had ever called her ‘Miss’. She didn’t know which knee to hide behind the other, or how she’d work the look of stupidity off her face now that it was there.

Inside she whirled madder than her mad red hair, she curled and unfurled all at the same time. But, Nell being Nell, all Stevie O’Halligan saw was a girl standing there

with her hand on her hip, telling him with some impatience: ‘I’m not sure that I can say I know you.’

But she did, oh she did. They already knew each other very well, for Stevie, so smooth and so strapping on the outside, was a storm of nerves on the inside. He couldn’t believe he’d just spoken to Nell Kennedy at all. He’d been watching her walk past the gates of his school every afternoon now for almost a month, since his return to Sydney from the farm at Guyong. He’d asked one of his classmates who she was – as he really, truly thought he knew her. Even if he didn’t, she was the prettiest girl he’d ever seen.

He said to her: ‘I know you.’

And then he dared to walk her home – bold as that! In broad daylight. As they walked, he did the talking: he told her he was back in Sydney staying with his Aunt Hannah over in Cooper Street, because the Brothers wanted him for a rugby team.

Rugby? She didn’t much care why he was here now. She wanted to ask him why he’d come for that tiny speck of time five years ago, though; she wanted to see if the hand of God was at work between them.

She wanted to ask Stevie O’Halligan if he and his aunt would like to go on a picnic in Centennial Park but, although it was entirely inappropriate that she should make any such suggestion, she couldn’t open her mouth to say anything all.

When he left her to continue on his way home, she didn’t hear his cheerio. She couldn’t hear anything above the chorus of angels that had just gone off in her head – she couldn’t feel the front step under her feet for the wings that carried her.

‘What’s got into you, girl?’ her mother asked her as they sat across the kitchen table from each other, peeling potatoes, having noticed that Nell had left great chunks of skin all over her lot.

‘Nothing,’ Nell told her mother, but Brigid knew. She saw the little smirk on her daughter’s face, the little blush on her cheeks – she knew – and from then on, Nell was not allowed to go traipsing round the neighbourhood without one of her brothers or a girlfriend for company.

Wild Chicory — by Kim Kelly ‘But, Mum – why?’ Nell protested a few days later, when she wanted to wander to the park – secretly, via Cooper Street.

And her mother said: ‘Do as you are told.’

‘But—’ ‘Do as you’re told or get to the Devil.’ She said it twice – once in Irish, under her breath.

There was no arguing with Brigid Kennedy after that, and so Stevie O’Halligan walked Nell Kennedy home most afternoons in the company of Eddie or Tom or Jack, or all three, and often Sean and Martin as well, providing a humiliating chorus of ‘Hell’s Nells has got a sweetheart, hell’s bells and ain’t he too smart.’ So smart, Stevie was, he never responded with anything but a good-natured smile no matter how much he wanted to smash their heads together.

It was a situation that did not alter when the news finally arrived that the war had ended – Frankie and Chris had raced home from the post office with the news so that their mother could get it first. Brigid Kennedy’s humour did not improve where the O’Halligan boy was concerned even after she received the news that all three of her own elder boys were safe in London, awaiting a ship home. Brigid would not even meet with Steven’s Aunt Hannah to make her acquaintance. Her daughter was not thirteen yet. She was far too young. She didn’t want her daughter married at sixteen as she had been, much as she had cherished every moment of her own marriage.

Whoever the lad would be for her Nell, he’d have some education past merit certificate – a trade perhaps, or a clerkship – and a good job already under his belt, he’d have money put away for his future family before he’d even thought to take a wife. He would not be a pimply-faced, football-playing bumpkin from the bush. She’d heard, privy to privy, his father was a pig farmer. She thought she might as well send her daughter back to Ballymacyarn when she’d heard that. When she’d heard he was a pig farmer from County Armagh, that settled it – her daughter would not be going with some dark-tempered ruffian from the north.

She wouldn’t change her mind, even when Dan and Mick and Pat came home in the winter of 1919, all of them needing a

long spell in the fattening paddock of their mother’s kitchen, all of them needing the beauty of their little sister and safety of their small world of home to keep the sadness from their eyes for all they’d seen of pointless violence and tragedy in the world abroad.

Pat, in particular, was haunted, not only by the ghosts of the battlefield but by ghosts put in his lungs from mustard gas – he would never be quite well again. Not that this marred any Kennedy rejoicing. They ate more and laughed harder against any pain, they tossed Lucky Pete higher, though he now weighed a small ton, and when the news came through that Pat, who had risen to the rank of lieutenant in the army, was now accepted into the University of Sydney to study to be a lawyer, his mother fainted. She’d been standing by the stove making a custard and collapsed to the floor in her wonder and awe. A Kennedy? Going to university? She would never quite believe that had occurred.

But the boys had brought home with them the tail of something wicked: although none of them were sick with it themselves, their ship had brought a deadly load of Spanish flu from Arabia. It ripped and slashed its way through the neighbourhood and killed ten children in one night.

And one of those children was little Lucky Pete. He’d had a sniffle and a sneeze on a Friday afternoon, and he was dead in a boiling fever by the Sunday morning. He was not quite seven.

The bells of Saint Peter’s tolled black over Surry Hills.

The shock of it stunned the streets to silence. Even cartwheels seemed to whisper; horses’ shoes trod soft. The Uptons and the Boyles brought gifts of food and flowers to Brigid Kennedy’s door, in permanent truce. In peace, and love.

Nell’s mind was blank to it all, at first.

From the moment she heard her mother scream from Pete’s bedside, Nell could not form a thought. She made cups of tea for her mother, cups of tea for the priest; she kept her brothers’ bellies filled even as she couldn’t think to eat herself.

She went to the funeral mass for her little brother – she was old enough for that these days – but she wasn’t allowed to go to the

burial. It wouldn’t do anyone any good for

her to see her mother throw herself to the ground as it received her little son.

All the while, though Nell could barely see

him, Stevie O’Halligan was there. He held her hand all the way home that day as any other, and at her gate this day, as she felt his hand

in hers, Nell began to cry. It would be the very last time she ever really cried, like this, so

openly, for shame and grief, for dismay and

guilt, holding her pebble to her heart for Pete, for her mother and for herself, and she cried as if she knew this would be the very last time.

Stevie didn’t say ‘there, there’ or ‘shush

now’. Into her anguish he said the only thing he could think of that was larger than this;

he told her with all his heart as she cried: ‘I’ll always love you, Nell Kennedy.’

She put her pebble in her shoe that

moment, that day, and left it there, so that she would feel it wherever she went, every day for the rest of her life.

— AUTHOR NOTE —

Fact and fiction always play a merry game in my tales and Wild Chicory is no exception. I’ve thieved much of its truth and its hea rt from the lore of my Irish family – the Kellys and the O’Reillys – and I’ve pinched others from my hus band, Dean’s family, the Brownlees and the O’Bree s, especially from Aunty Yvonne. The rest is bla rney.

This is a story spun from my admiration for the economic refugees who have contributed to Australia from all over the wor ld, all you brave wanderers, the ordinary har d-working dreamers who have made and continu e to make our country what it is: a colourful patchw ork of beauty and bigotry both, all sewn togeth er with love. And no small part of its intricately cra zed design is Irish.

Indeed, Australia remains pro portionately the most Irish country outside Irel and.

But most of all, Wild Chicory is the story of how I came to be a writer myself, by the love of those who fed my soul their own sto ries when I was small, especially my grandmother, Lillian.

To those who have helped brin g this story into the world, thankyou is never a larg e enough word. Lou Johnson, my inspiring publish er, and Alex Nahlous, my excellent editor, as well as all those comrades and readers who egged me on along the way: this book wouldn’t be here withou t you.

So, slàinte, friends – I hope you enjoyed the tale.

The ten point pledge to the people of Orange from our Council electio n candidates

What happened at this month’s Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association Meeting?

The May meeting of the Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association (ORRA) was well attended and started with a tribute to our Secretary, John Da Rin, who sadly passed away on 4th May. John was passionately dedicated to the work of ORRA for well over a decade and could always be relied upon to attend to the details to keep ORRA functioning and keeping Orange City Council accountable. He always placed the needs of others before his own and will be sadly missed.

The meeting considered the issue of the proposed Mountain Bike Trails in the State Conservation Area on Mount Canobolas. Orange City Council’s Director Scott Maunder made a presentation on behalf of the Council as the developer of the proposed trails. Dr. Andrew Rawson from the Canobolas Conservation Alliance made a presentation opposing the concept. The members of ORRA listened avidly to the presentations and asked many questions afterwards, requesting that other speakers are sought for future meetings to inform them of the detail regarding other contentious issues.

1. In our governance, decision-making and advocacy we will represent the who le community, not just sections of it.

2. We will remain as true independen ts, free to exercise our own judgement.

3. We pledge to unite the community, not divide it.

4. We will deliver open, transparent and accountable government so that the community can see for itself that at all times we are operating in its interests.

5. W e will provide honest, decisive, forw ard looking and capable leadership.

6. W e will ensure the fair, respectful and equal treatment of all members of the com munity.

7. We will measure our decisions agai nst one simple statement: Does this really help our community?

8. We will build a new and inclusive partnership between the council, business and community organisations.

9. W e recognise that the Mayor and coun cillors are representatives of the people, not controllers of the people.

10. We understand that we are answ erable to the community and that, if we’re not resp onsive, we’re not doing our job.

Members who had been unable to attend the launch of the ORRA election team for the Mayoral and Councillor elections to be held on 4th September were informed of the team and shown pictures of the launch. The ten point pledge was greeted with enthusiasm.

The ORRA election team has now started a listening tour and is contacting Orange community groups to ask to attend their meetings to listen to the issues their members would like to be pursued by the next elected Council following the September elections. Please contact us at orrra2800@gmail.com if you haven’t heard from us by the end of May. The next monthly meeting of ORRA will be held at 7p.m.

Wednesday 2nd June at the Ex-Services Club and the speaker with be Orange City Council’s Waste Manager, Wayne Davis.

Members of the public are very welcome.

Barbara Ann Bastick 28.9.1943 ~ 17.5.2014

Loved and missed everyday, Forget you not, we never will

Your loving husband John, your children Cathy, Donna, Margaret, David and families

Jane Elizabeth Assie (Hiney) 13 May 1981 ~ 7 October 2020

Today you would be 40 and we remember the love, laughter and beauty you shined upon our lives.

We wish you were here so that we could laugh about the decades of good times and memories, and celebrate this milestone with you.

We miss you so much, our sunshine. You were a once in a lifetime, a one in a million. We weep at all you’re not here to share with us and your gorgeous family.

But amidst our sorrow and longing for just one more belly laugh over an almond milk latte, is a deep sense of gratitude. True sadness would have been to have never known you. Lucky were we to have had 39 years of your infectious smile and love for life.

Life without you is like a rainbow with a missing colour. For you we will continue to see the beauty in it, but it will never be so beautiful.

The love between your baby girls and their father is a sight to behold and gives us comfort, the love he and your family have for them is truly beautiful.

You were the Mary Poppin’s of ‘aunties’ to our children, and the mother of all mothers to your own. You exuded breathtaking inner and outer beauty, and joy, to everyone you met.

And so we daydream about amazing memories made and imagine how wonderful those that were to come would have been.

It was a short time, but it was a good time. A million years would not have been enough.

You had the happiest of lives dear friend, and we are honoured to have been called some of your best. We are comforted by the amount of times we exchanged the words “I love you”.

Your memory is a happy one.

We remember your ‘joie de vivre’ on this day.

Love from your ‘Chippa’, your ‘Bub’ and ‘The Girls’ xo

A BIG THUMBS DOWN to OCC for paying for a painting of a deceased young man at the Orange local skate park. Yes, it is a sad tragedy when anyone passes but the skatepark is a child and family facility and the image is not positive or appropriate for children and families that use it. A small memorial plaque would have sufficed.

THUMBS UPto Helen McAnulty and OC Life magazine for sharing the very special World War letters penned

by Helen’s uncle Arnold Caldwell.

It was so fascinating to read his experiences of the War.

THUMBS DOWN to the hoons doing burnouts near Molong Road on Saturday night 1/5/21

BIG THUMBS UP to Cheryn Trudgett for her impressive creative abilities and hard work in making a beautiful garden for all to admire as we walk through the Moulder Park.

THUMBS UP to Megan at PRP for going out of her way to help clients. I was in tears from pain and she was wonderful and gentle with me, helping me get into the building and with my appointment.

THUMBS UP to Kylie from Fitness Perfection for making an effort to learn new people’s names and ensuring they feel welcome. Well done.

THUMBS UP to the beautiful white gum eucalyptus trees at our local Borenore caves. Thumbs down to the lack of handrails to help a person walk safely around the area.

THUMBS UP to Jake and Shane from the Door Store for great customer service and a fantastic job done to my garage door keep up the great work.

THUMBS UP to all of the hardworking guys at Maas who are doing the new section of road on Dairy Creek Road to the Mitchell Highway. What a neat and tidy job they are doing and the surface of the new road is first class.

Well done guys and congratulations on a top job. It will be first class when it is finished.

THUMBS UP to OCC for the great job they have done with the memorial seat and tree planted behind it at Gosling Reserve as a fitting tribute to our much admired and popular Councillor, the late Cr Previtera.

THUMBS UP to the two cleaners, Debbie and Tammie, at Colour City Caravan Park for their great service, they do an excellent job.

THUMBS UP to Kim Kelly and OCL. Wild Chicory is a great read.

THUMBS UP to people who put donated items into the charity baskets at IGA supermarkets. I’m one of them and it does my heart good to see so many other items in these baskets each time I visit IGA. It’s a credit to the Ashcrofts that they are such community minded and generous business owners.

THUMBS DOWN again to drivers who don’t follow the directional arrows in the Summer Centre and Aldi carparks. Luckily had another near miss at Summer Centre last week.

Thankfully the driver of the offending vehicle realized his mistake and acknowledged it.
