ORANGE DIRT BIKE RIDERS TACKLE AUSTRALIA’S

Greatest Desert Race — SAMUEL RODWELL —

F

or many people outside of the motorsport world, the Finke Desert Race is considered the crown jewel in off-road racing across Australia.

From around the country, moto-racing athletes gather in the Northern Territory for two days, jam-packed with racing categories that facilitate different classes and vehicle types from bikes, cars, buggies, to quads. They are all competing for the best possible times to secure top positions on the podium in each race division.

For this year’s Finke, Orange locals Hayden Tom (Husqvarna FC450), Stephen Robinson (Husqvarna FE501), Zach Madden (Husqvarna TX300 2 Stroke), and James Wolters (Kawasaki KX450) represented our region at the June event.

Stephen recently spoke with Orange City Life over the phone from Alice Springs where he was setting-up camp: “We decided to enter Finke about six months ago when entries opened. We were all ready to sign-up before positions were filled and closed because they just go in minutes.

4 JUNE 17—23, 2021

"Everyone wants to race at Finke.

Stephen explains.

“We’ve heard many stories about how tough the race is and how Finke is the hardest desert race in Australia. So, we wanted to have a crack at it,” Stephen explains.

Our locals raced from Alice Springs to the small Aputula (Finke) community and back again across the two days. This was the first time for Stephen, James and Hayden taking on Finke, of which Stephen says they were: “hoping to finish the race with a reasonable time.” For Zach, this will be another tally added to his riding career at Finke as he has raced there many times previously.

The four locals said before the race, that they expected to face tough, challenging terrain that would undoubtedly test their physical and mental endurance and the mechanical endurance of their bikes.

Preparation is key for surviving the track, they said.

For six months now, the locals prepared inbetween their full-time professions and other sporting commitments, gearing themselves ready for the big event.

“We all work full-time, so thinking about the race and preparing for it is always in the back of your mind, as well as getting parts you need for the bike to make it better and easier on yourself when the race day arrives.

“Training to keep yourself fit because the race is physically demanding. The other boys, they play footy every weekend, so that’s part of their training. On top of that, you’re trying to put in as much time in [riding] on the bike as possible. We’re all pretty stressed for time,”

...We’ve heard many stories about how tough the race is and how Finke is the hardest desert race in Australia.

So, we wanted to have a crack at it...

Regardless of what the scoring outcomes were for our locals, this is a sporting cultural that is incredibly social, about connectivity through adventure, and challenging your limits. As described by Stephen, “What I love most about the sport is the friendships you make, the places you see, to the people you meet, and the thrills of the sport – pushing your bike and yourself.”

This venture to Finke was sponsored by local business Central Western Brake & Clutch and Penrite Oil. Orange City Life looks forward to catching up with Stephen, Hayden, James, and Zack on their racing efforts after they return very soon.

Comment AROUND THE REGION

A more complicated life

Last week, I experienced how much life has changed over recent times when I wanted to do something nice for a friend on his birthday. My friend of over 60 years, Allan, has dementia and lives in a retirement village at Yamba, I haven’t seen him for a couple of years due to both our circumstances. He’s never fussed about his birthday but, given all our current circumstances, I thought it would be nice to do something a bit special this year. Given his health and my present situation, it is possible that I may never see him again. That sounds a bit doom and gloomy but, it is reality, sadly.

Our daughter lives at Lennox Head and I had this great idea to ask her to go visit him on his birthday and to take him a serve of fresh prawns that he could share with his friends in the village. She has a couple of dogs and, on a previous visit, the dogs were also welcomed and were a big hit with the residents.

First, I rang the village to tee it all up and was promptly told we couldn’t take food from outside into the village, especially for other residents. I then asked our daughter to contact the village to arrange a visit and to ask what she could or couldn’t do. I mentioned she had visited Allan earlier this year with no issues, dogs and all, but this time she was told she couldn’t go into the village if she hadn’t had a flu shot. She hadn’t. She was told however, that she could take him out for lunch, and that she’d have to book with them to do all this.

While all this was happening, I also teed-up other family members to ring Allan on his birthday, something they wouldn’t normally do, even though he has been like one of our family all that time.

So, given all the rules, regulations etc. we finally got there. Our daughter Sandy overcame all the hurdles, took him out for a wonderful lunch, talked his head off as she tends to do, and not to be outdone on the prawns, left him a bowl of fresh prawns complete with seafood sauce made by her husband who just happens to be a talented chef for a hobby. Allan had a fabulous birthday, and it also included another separate visit by his sister Gwelda who just happens to also live nearby in Yamba.

Robbie has captured a beautiful photo of the chilly weather Orange has seen in the past week.

Mission accomplished, but there was a time when doing something like this would have been a lot less complicated, but so be it, we don’t live in those times anymore.

STAYING CONNECTED BY KEEPING YOURSELF FIT

Exercise is a fantastic platform to foster connections and prevent social isolation

participation. In rural Australia, it is more often a complete lack of services that fosters social isolation.

By the time I was in the middle of my PhD, I was unable to make the weekly visits with my friend in Lithgow, and knew I had to do something quick before I ended-up in a watery mess again. But, even as I began to feel lonely, I knew that I was in a good position because I had a purpose.

When I first moved to Australia, I was lucky enough to be able to stay with a friend who lives modestly and whose generosity knows no bounds. Because of this, I resolved to not stay longer with them than I should. It was 32°C and 80 per cent humidity when I left Singapore and snowing when I arrived in Lithgow.

Whilst settling into a new country and conceiving an idea worthy of a PhD, I moved into a one-bedroom unit three months later.

On the day of the move, as I shifted the third and final box of my worldly possessions into the kitchen-cum-lounge-cum-bedroom, a profound sense of loneliness came upon me. I had moved away from Lithgow to be closer to the Charles Sturt University Bathurst campus.

I crumpled into a heap and let the tears fall. As my shoulders heaved, I felt a nudge at my elbow. The physical contact shocked my tears to a stop. As the neighbour’s cat continued to headbutt me, I made a resolution to borrow some books the very next day, just so I could chat to the librarian.

As an exercise physiologist, I wondered about the physical pain in my heart. As it turns out, you can literally die of loneliness. We now live in a time when our ageing population is a commonly-recognised phenomena — which should come as no surprise.

The rise in birth-rates after the world wars gave us fair indication and the numbers are quite staggering. Right here in Orange, the population aged above 60 is set to rise so, that in 2031, one in every four persons will be a senior. We live in a culture that celebrates youth, so that in itself is an issue.

Physical and psychological changes associated with ageing can also present barriers to ageing well. We may hold onto mistaken beliefs that older people should “slow down”, that they should be in a

We form social networks through our jobs, through our hobbies and, sometimes, through our children. In later life, retirement is one of the causes for us to lose those social networks.

Culturally, Australians seeking a tree-change may find themselves moving several thousands of kilometres that in itself creates a physical barrier to social participation. Think about someone who moved to be near their child, which works great for a while, until the novelty of visiting grandma and grandpa wears off. Moving again is often not an option, so the problem of social isolation may be compounded in regional and rural Australia.

There may be sufficient activities organised in regional Australia but, sometimes, it is the lack of access to information that restricts

My purpose in completing a doctorate, had me carrying-out necessary tasks which facilitated social interaction. I am now equipped with the social tools to enable me to become inclusive in society again, when the need arises. I decided that learning to pilot an aircraft was a worthy endeavour and, before I knew it, I was up at 5000 feet! Learning to fly brought my social life to new heights. When I took action to alleviate my loneliness, I made the ultimate social connection — my flying lessons came “packaged” with a fiancé at no extra charge! In my quest for knowledge, I found love.

In much the same way that my now-husband taught me to fly aeroplanes, I introduced him to the world of mountain biking. He was instantly hooked by the finesse and fellowship of the sport and was motivated to complete a course in leading groups to ride trails. There, he met another slightly more-experienced mountain biker where they shared one of their motivations for ageing well — to remain fit and strong enough to enjoy mountain biking for a while yet.

Whether it be flying or mountain-biking, an underlying and oft-unrecognised benefit of sports and activities is providing a platform that allows creating valuable connections between people.

Regarding exercise, a common refrain, is to choose an activity that is most enjoyable that will enable continued participation.

SCEPTICISM THE KEY TO BEATING POST-COVID SCAMS — FORUM COVID-19 induced lockdowns have seen an exponential growth in financial scams in our community.

These scams — run by heartless criminal gangs — mostly target the elderly, the vulnerable, and the trusting, Andrew De Graaff from Orange Credit Union said.

The local community-owned finance provider recently hosted a Stay Safe forum in Orange with a range of experts from the NSW Police Financial Crimes Squad, Australian Cyber Security Centre, and an innovative “Your Financial Wellness” expert.

Local Member and Federal Minister, Andrew Gee told the event that the financial cost to individuals is only part of the tragedy of these scams. “I know people who have been scammed, and the impact of these on the victims is malicious, vicious, and devastating,” Mr Gee said.

“They often prey on the elderly and the vulnerable, they take advantage of them and ruin their lives.

“The victims of these scams find it devastating, the impact is not only financial,Nooters but alsoClub psychological,” Mr 1Gee21/01/13 said.

A5 flyer.pdf 3:37 PM Mr de Graaff said that the increasing reliance on e-banking and online bill and service payment systems which have accelerated since the first coronavirus lockdowns, had opened-up a flood in both the volume and variety of new scams.

“Today is all about education,” he said. “more and more people, essentially after COVID, are falling victim to scammers… but these scams are preventable,” he said.

Scams, he said, are becoming increasingly-plausible with perpetrators often gaining invaluable background information that helps them insinuate themselves into people’s confidence.

Guest speaker at the event, Mike Roberts is involved in a special research project with Orange and seven other credit unions on improving the “financial wellness” of customers to provide a personalised score on the financial literacy of their members,

“Be sceptical, tell them you’ll call them back and get a phone number… no-one ever stores your passwords,” he said.

Mr de Graaff said that our new post-lockdown reliance on online access for almost all financial interactions has created a boom for online and phone scammers: “It’s the evolution of the technology and it’s COVID-related.”

“COVID put everyone into lockdown and there has been a spike in scams… we used to get maybe one call a week, we now get a dozen a day.”

He said that, rather than just the emails or the phone calls, online shopping (which has boomed during the pandemic) has also

Mr de Graaff added that there are some simple financial housekeeping tools that can foil the thieves after your hard-earned — password updates, changing access codes, updating privacy software regularly — with eternal vigilance the key. “People are getting ripped-off left, right, and centre,” he said.

“My own children are becoming targets, they’re targeting anyone who will answer or respond to a message, but the message is simple, be sceptical,” Mr de Graaff said.

Mr de Graaff said that the Credit Union was seeking to highlight the threats to not only their own customers, but everyone in the district: “We see it as a community service,” he said.

— DAVID DIXON — Orange and surrounds received a fine dusting of snow overnight which persisted during the day with near-zero temperatures and icy winds giving us that wonderful winter look for the first time in 2021.

Our first major snow event for the season was caused by a polar blast sweeping across south-east Australia as part of a large mass of frigid air that originated in the Southern Ocean.

A Dream of Winter!

— SAMUEL RODWELL — Once again, Orange was transformed into a winter wonderland reminiscent of the Northern Hemisphere. Locals were treated to the idea and brief experience of what it must be like to live in a city covered with snow from day-to-day. It certainly changes one’s perspective to think many people live through snowy conditions like this around the world during their respective winters. As always, the snow didn’t last for long, melting away as the dream-like snowfall dispersed into memory.

Carer wellness day for those needing a break Carers come in all ages, shapes and sizes, but they have one thing in common — they all need a break!

Two innovative new “Carer Wellness Days” hosted by the Carer Gateway in Orange were designed to do just that by offering a range of rejuvenation treatments and some time-out for carers.

levels are rising, they don’t even know what they need.”

The service, she emphasised, is self-referring, if you feel like you aren’t coping, she added, give them a bell.

“Even if people think, ‘I don’t really know what I want or what help there is,' that doesn’t matter,” she said.

“There are many people out there in caring roles that

are stressed, you simply don’t know how many carers there are until you are working to support them every day,” Louise said.

Carer Gateway: Call 1800 422 737 Monday to Friday 8.30–5pm or go to: www.carergateway.cov.au for more details.

Carer Gateway staffers at the recent wellness event in Orange, Gabrielle McDonell; Debbie Campbell; and Louise Fossilo.

The COVID-19 lockdowns were particularly hard for carers with many experiencing increased isolation and less opportunities for respite and social interaction, Louise Fossilo from the Carer Gateway, said.

“A carer is someone who cares for a person in an unpaid capacity — a relative a neighbour, or a friend,” Louise explained. “I am a carer for my mum and dad, they live with me and my family. My role at the Carer Gateway is to provide support to other carers, utilising my lived experience as a carer to undertake the role of ‘Peer Support Partner’ for the service,” she added.

The Carer Gateway, she explained, is a Federal Government-funded service providing a range of phone-based, online, and face-to-face support services for carers in our community. It is for carers of any age who are helping an adult or child family member, friend or neighbour who has a disability, chronic illness, dementia, mental illness, an addiction, or is frail aged.

After registering with the service, Carer Gateway’s carer support planners work with carers on a holistic basis, focusing on seven key areas of the carer’s life to provide individualised strategies. “The planners work with individual carers and go through their current situation to develop a plan around how best they can be supported in their caring role,” Louise explained.

The group’s first two “Carer Wellness” days allowed carers to have time for themselves and just relax and switch-off for a few hours.

The events, organised at local holistic wellness provider “Studio Seed”; offered a break for both mind and body for local carers, Louise said.

“The idea was for carers to come-out and be pampered; to have some time-out; and to connect to other carers. They participated in yoga, meditation, life coaching and experienced an hour-long facial, we also had a beautiful meal as a group.”

The coronavirus lockdowns were particularly hard for carers, Louise added, with the Carer Gateway opening in Orange in April 2020 just as the lockdowns occurred.

“Carers became more isolated as their services were shut-down, for instance, someone with dementia who used to go to a respite cottage two days a week,” Louise said, adding that fear of the pandemic caused many people to self-isolate.

“A lot of people bunkered-down at home and became quite isolated, and it’s been hard to get people back out again,” she said.

The Carer Gateway offers a hotline which will put carers in touch with their Intake and Registration team who are based in Orange and are the first point of contact for help with many people not self-identifying, Louise explained.

“A lot of people don’t see themselves as a carer but see themselves as simply looking-after a loved one,” she added.

“We’ve got carers as young as nine, children who care for a sibling, parent, or another family member, it’s not just older people looking after their partners,” she explained.

“They might just be feeling isolated, and their stress

Secret treasures OF MT CANOBOLAS — BY DR COLIN BOWER —

Mount Canobolas is giving-up its secrets.

Who knew it had so many? I’ve been exploring parts of ‘The Mountain’ for over 40 years and, it’s only recently, I came to understand how little we really know about it, and what a fascinating story it has to tell.

Mount Canobolas is the iconic backdrop to the City of Orange, a sentinel visible from 50km away in many directions. But Mt Canobolas is much more than a bushcovered high-point in the landscape. We now know it has long-been a nursery for the evolution of new flora and fauna species and a refuge for threatened biodiversity.

What makes Mt Canobolas so special?

Mt Canobolas is an 11-million-year-old former volcano that originally reached about 1000m above its surrounds forming an “inselberg”, or land-locked island of highaltitude habitat. Today at 1397m, the summit of Mt Canobolas is still about 500m above the surrounding plateau. Much of the Mt Canobolas State Conservation

These homes will awaken your imagination.

128 Shiralee Rd

Area (SCA) is above 1000m in altitude, has a much-colder climate than the lowlands, and supports an isolated ecosystem of high-montane and sub-alpine vegetation.

The isolation of Mt Canobolas from other peaks on the Great Dividing Range to the east, has allowed the evolution of new life forms — similar to the evolution of different species of Darwin’s finches and giant tortoises on the isolated volcanic islands of the Galapagos Archipelago.

Discovery of the Mountain’s Secrets It is only in the last 20 years that Mt Canobolas has started to give up its secrets in earnest, although there were earlier clues uncovered by pioneering botanists like JH Maiden, NSW Government Botanist and Director of the Sydney Botanic Gardens at the turn of the 20th Century, and WE (Bill) Giles, keen local amateur botanist and forestry worker.

Maiden identified the distinctiveness of the vulnerable

Canobolas Candlebark in 1917 and Giles discovered the critically-endangered Canobolas Mintbush in the 1940s. It was not until 1991, however, that the Canobolas Candlebark was scientifically-named and the Canobolas Mintbush was formally-named only in 2015.

One unique invertebrate, the Mount Canobolas Velvet Worm, was also described in 1995. Velvet worms are living fossils, with likely ancestors dating back 500 million years to the Cambrian period in the fossil record.

Research in the State Conservation Area accelerated in the 21st Century with the sudden realisation that Mt Canobolas was home to much unique biodiversity.

Professor Jack Elix and Dr Patrick McCarthy from the Australian National University described four new endemic species of lichens from the mountain in 2014 and 2016 and also discovered two others known from the mountain and only one other place in Australia.

Mt Canobolas is a nationally-significant hotspot of lichen diversity.

other unique endemic species are present and it is impossible to guess how many.

David Jones, formerly of the CSIRO Centre for Biodiversity Research and Australia’s leading orchid expert, described two new endemic orchid species, the Pink Spider Orchid and the Canobolas Leek Orchid, from Mt Canobolas in 2019. Professor Jeremy Bruhl of the University of New England and his students have identified four new flowering plant species, a starbush, an urn heath, a bulbine lily, and a phebalium, that will be formally described in coming years.

Threats

So far, we know of at least 13, and possibly 15, endemic species that occur on Mt Canobolas and nowhere else.

How many more?

...The exploration of Mt Canobolas’ biodiversity is in its infancy. Most of its flora and fauna has yet to be studied...

The exploration of Mt Canobolas’ biodiversity is in its infancy. Most of its flora and fauna has yet to be studied in detail. Accordingly, it is highly-likely that

Large areas of the reserve have not been surveyed in detail in the right conditions to be sure that important biodiversity would not be affected by development.

Until we know the full extent of endemism on Mt Canobolas, it is unwise to permit any further development in the State Conservation Area or in naturally-vegetated areas in the surrounds. The reality, is that any development of the State Conservation Area for mountain biking tracks and supporting infrastructure, may pose serious risks to undiscovered populations of rare and endemic species. In addition, many rare species on Mt Canobolas have very small population sizes and are at high-risk of extinction. If the recent research on Mt Canobolas tells us anything, it is that we still know very little about our iconic mountain.

TREATING BIRTH TRAUMA AND STIGMA THE SUBJECT OF DR KNOX’S ADDRESS Imagine devoting your life to helping women in Africa suffering a debilitating birthing condition that often sees them banished from their families?

Dr David Knox knows someone who has done just that — he will be speaking in Orange this week on the lifelong work of his aunt, Catherine Hamblin and her husband Reg who established a hospital in Ethiopia treating the traumatic birthing complication known as obstetric fistulas.

Dr Knox has also spent part of his working like at the hospital in Addas Ababa which has treated thousands of women each year for this and other childbirth conditions.

Dr David Knox will be speaking on the lifelong work of his aunt, Catherine Hamblin and husband Reg who devoted their lives to establishing a hospital in Ethiopia treating the traumatic birthing complication known as obstetric fistulas.

BIG Dreams, Born Here.

A place for young minds to grow, from Pre-Kinder to Year 6.

Obstetric fistulas — almost entirely a product of poverty and lack of medical access during childbirth — involves tears developing during extended labours leading to leakage from either the bladder or rectum into the birth canal.

The condition can be treated through a relativelystraightforward operation that is often not available in many African countries — which is the work of the hospital in the capital.

“She’s my aunt and I spent a little bit of time over there doing obstetric work; I’m also on the board of the Australia supporting trusts for the work,” Dr Knox told Orange City Life recently.

The hospital, established in 1974, also includes a number of field hospitals that go out to complete the operation in regional areas.

“It’s got the capacity to treat 3000 fistula operations a year,” Dr Knox said, adding that up to 800 women per 100,000 die from childbirth in the world’s poorest countries, 100-times greater than that for Australia.

“We operate on a number of fistulas and also some prolapse surgery,” he explained. “I’ll be discussing the work they do and the history of the hospital,” he added.

The example of the hospital has seen concerted efforts from the Ethiopian authorities to reduce the problem with more medical assistance now provided to many women in the country.

“Catherine passed-away last year and — while the hospital is fully-funded by overseas donations — all the doctors and nurses, all the staff, are Ethiopians and that is a great achievement,” Dr Knox said.

Pastor Jon Baker from the Church of Christ that is hosting the event, said that Dr Knox, although now retired, returns to Africa half a dozen times a year to help at the clinic.

He said that births of sometimes four to five days length cause the condition which sees many of the women rejected by their families.

“It has a huge stigma and many of the women go back to live with their mothers as virtual recluses,” Pastor Baker added.

Dr Knox will be making his address at the Church, 69 Burrendong Way, on Sunday, June 20 at 10am which will be followed by a light lunch and the chance to donate to the work and chat with David.

For more information, call Pastor Baker on 0431 451 174.

A FIVE YEAR WAIT It’s been five years since the last real ‘snow day’ in Orange. Worth the wait.

It’s snowing as I type. Nope, that’s not right … it’s absolutely bucketing snow, caning down. The most amazing scenes from the back deck. Whilst most of the official ‘learning’ has been postponed for the day, having no/few classroom lessons doesn’t mean that education is off the table. I fondly remember watching the episode of The Simpsons that was called ‘Bart gets an F’, where he fails his history exam four times in a row. They recommend he repeats grade four if he fails again. Things are looking grim until ‘Snow Day’ happens, and he’s given an extra day to study. He scrapes through, with his parents proudly displaying the ‘D-minus’ graded paper on the fridge.

Whilst there will be some of our students in Orange using periods throughout the day to catch-up on a bit of work or finish an assignment, I’m sure that many used the opportunity to tick a few boxes in the life skills category. Whilst some may think it crazy, I went for a once-in-a-lifetime run out in the snow. Not many cars out on the road, and the only possible route for running was via the nature strips of the houses, where the snow was deep enough to get a purchase. I wasn’t the only one out at 7am celebrating and marvelling in the miracles that occur in this true ‘four seasons’ town, plenty of people walking their dogs and holding hands with their partners were out there too. Not a breath of wind, just beautiful fluffy snowflakes cascading out of the sky. There’s a bit of sloping vacant land at the end of my street, and the early-bird school-aged kids were making the most of things … the impressive start of a massive snowman, sliding on a makeshift toboggan, a big

snowfight - they took one look at me in my shorts and running shirt, became wideeyed, intentions clear and started making a beeline for me as their next target. Exit, stage left. Some of the lessons these kids would learn during the time they are out in the snow may rival a week of learning in the classroom, and they’ll surely remember it for longer I’m guessing.

❄Polar vortex serves-up❆

As I ran home up the semi-steep hill that is our street, I was astonished to see the garbage guy in his truck picking up the bins. Life goes on I guess. Wheels spinning to get a grip up the hill, he made his rounds before turning the corner – impressive commitment buddy.

I know we’re supposed to say ‘all creatures great and small’, but maybe 6+ inches of the white stuff will freeze away any of the nasty intentions that the mice had of staking a claim and taking over here in town. You’ll need a couple of baits around the chimney flu in the roof, and any other warm places you might have. Here’s hoping it’s been cold enough a little further west too, to put paid to at least some of the devasting damage caused by the rodents.

We all know how quickly we’ll forget the winter chills when that first brilliant sunny day in September rolls around. We will quickly forget the awesomeness of ‘snow day’ when it turns to rain, sleet and ice, too. But we all lived it up while it lasted.

Whether you made a snowman, smashed a passer-by with a juicy snowball, or went for a run – making the most of rare experiences as learning opportunities is a necessity in my books. Students, I hope you came inside from boogie-boarding down the hill and did at least a little bit of work on your History assignment. Maybe mum will put your graded paper on the fridge as a lasting memory of ‘snow day’.

that chilly June feeling

First-time snowman builders Condobolin kids Brax Grogan and Raquel Read were among the many visitors experiencing the district’s first major snow event for the winter.

A consistent six-inch (15-centimetre) blanket of snow persisted throughout the day with the mercury never rising above one degree all-day, one of our coldest June maximums on record.

The cold blast was part of a large mass of frigid air swirling around the Southern Ocean that originates in Antarctica.

Restaurateur Ricky Singh was sighted wandering around Robertson Park early Thursday using a selfie stick to take video footage of the dazzling snow for his own YouTube channel.

It then pushed north into Western Australia and South Australia last Monday afternoon before moving east mid-week to Victoria (where it created damaging winds), western Tasmania and NSW.

“Yes, it’s great, I really enjoy it,” he said.

Newish local, Ramy Kaur said that the mid-week dump was the first major snow she had seen in Orange.

$2 BILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR UPGRADES ON THE GREAT WESTERN HIGHWAY! As Minister for Decentralisiation, I was pleased to join Acting Prime Minister Michael McCormack MP near Little Hartley on Monday to inspect part of the site for the multibillion dollar Great Western Highway project. Work is set to commence in 2022 and will be of great benefit to all motorists using the road.

The major upgrades will occur on the corridor between Katoomba and Blackheath and between Little Hartley and Lithgow.

Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a real

awakening by people in the city as to what lies over the Great Dividing Range. This movement from city to country is bigger than the gold rush and it looks set to continue as Sydney expands westward and the new Western Sydney International Airport takes shape.

Easing congestion, making the road safer and reducing travel times is why the Australian Government has invested so much in this project.

Initial designs will be released to the community in the coming weeks.

The Council Game Generally speaking, it could be viewed that the majority of the community are vitally interested in how our City is run, but rarely do anything about stating their views, even when given the chance.

There are exceptions of course, for example when our space, our sphere of interest, or our livelihood is threatened by a Council proposal or decision.

Listening to the community will also throw-up a variety of different opinions about what are the characteristics of a good

councillor, what are Council’s main responsibilities, and where Council’s main priorities should lie.

This week, we asked our Mock Councillors to comment on such characteristics and how they would prioritise some of the Council’s responsibilities, those the community often talks about. We’ve listed six, but our Mock Councillors are free to mention others.

Our list, not in any particular order is experience, vision, progressive attitude, attention to basics, efficiency, community pride.

mock mayor

Amanda Spalding This week’s topic has many parts to it, so I thought I should concentrate on two elements - the characteristics of a good councillor, and where Council’s main priorities should lie.

I have had a leadership role in developing some of the NSW local government reforms over the last 20 years in NSW and that includes the professional development of mayors and councillors.

So, what are the skills that councillors need to have or develop? The following skills are important: • Local leadership Able to engage with members of the community to learn about issues of local concern and help to facilitate a vision for the place. It involves encouraging trust and respect between individuals and groups by mediating fairly and constructively between different organisations and sections of the community.

• Partnership working Ability to build good relationships with others (ie colleagues, officers, community groups and other organisations) by identifying and working collaboratively to achieve shared goals. Councillors need to recognise and value different contributions, delegate or provide support as required, and to take a long-term view in developing partnerships.

• Communication skills Demonstrate excellent communication skills across many different settings, including the ability to listen sensitively and use appropriate language with different groups. Councillors must also communicate regularly and effectively with all parts of their community using different media.

• Political understanding Ability to communicate their values, promote

20 JUNE 17—23, 2021

a political vision, and encourage democratic processes and public engagement. Councillors need to work across boundaries at times, yet still be able to maintain their own political integrity.

• Scrutiny and challenge Councillors need to have the skills to act as a critical friend by identifying opportunities for scrutiny inside and outside the council, and by providing constructive challenge and feedback to others. To be effective in this role, councillors need to analyse information quickly and present arguments that are concise, meaningful and easily understood.

• Regulating and monitoring This skill-set relates to the more judicial aspects of the role that require councillors to understand their legal responsibilities and follow protocol when evaluating arguments and making decisions. Not only do councillors need to balance public needs and local policy, they should also monitor progress and seek feedback on their own learning needs.

In addition to the above councillor skills, the mayor needs to have or develop leadership skills including: • • • • •

Political vision and strategic direction Leading change and innovation Communicating your message Effective decision-making Performance monitoring and making a difference • Effective partnerships and systems leadership • Governance and accountability The second part of the topic is where should Council’s main priorities lie?

Another part of NSW local government reforms in which I had a leadership role, was the development of the strategic planning requirements in the Local Government Act known as Integrated Planning and Reporting. That is all about identifying the community’s main priorities and aspirations for the future of the local government area and to plan strategies for achieving these goals. As this term of Council has lasted for four years rather than the three years originally planned for, it would

be understandable if Council had lost sight of the community’s main priorities.

After each local government election, the Council develops the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) on behalf of the local community, which is for a minimum of 10 years. The quality of the CSP and the extent of its ownership by the community, depends on the quality and extent of the community engagement undertaken.

Recently in Orange, there has been a lot of debate about community engagement and the concept of the silent majority. It is difficult to understand how the silent majority is apparently making its wishes clear!!

Early in the new term, Council will need to develop a community engagement strategy based on social justice principles for engagement with the local community when developing the CSP. Social Justice principles • Equity – there should be fairness in decision making, and prioritising and allocation of resources, particularly for those in need. Everyone should have a fair opportunity to participate in the future of the community. The planning process should take particular care to involve and protect the interests of people in vulnerable circumstances.

• Access – all people should have fair access to services, resources and opportunities to improve their quality of life.

• Participation – everyone should have the maximum opportunity to genuinely participate in decisions which affect their lives.

• Rights – equal rights should be established and promoted, with opportunities provided for people from diverse linguistic, cultural and religious backgrounds to participate in community life.

The legislation requires that as a minimum, the Community Engagement Strategy must identify relevant stakeholder groups within the community and outline methods of engaging each group.

Those groups are known as Hard to Reach groups.

So, we need to develop the answer to the question of where should Council’s main priorities lie? at the beginning of the next term of Council.

THE COUNCIL GAME

MOCK COUNCILLOR Frances Kinghorne It is interesting to note people’s reactions when those three words - Orange City Council - are mentioned. From my observations, there are two main reactions. People will either look incredibly bored very quickly, or they will animatedly relay a negative anecdote. It would be rare for these words to evoke joy or pride. Why is that?

What makes a council a good one? I think it takes two things: Firstly, we need effective councillors and council staff working well together.

Secondly, we need an appropriately-engaged community, adequately consulted with and represented by their councillors.

There are people, often quite vocal, who think that Council should stick to roads, rubbish and rates. Attention to basics is important and, if managed well, should really stay under the radar.

However, a highly-functioning council, which would comprise councillors with a range of backgrounds and life experiences, should be able to efficiently deliver a visionary and progressive agenda, if that is what the community wants.

Even with a wide-range of backgrounds and skills, every councillor should be committed to making the effort to prepare for each meeting and genuinely attempt to understand the issues raised.

Having previous council experience does not necessarily equate to these behaviours.

It is patently obvious in our current council, for example, that there are members who appear to have no idea what issues are being considered. Unfortunately, this does not stop them from contributing, often protractedly and inappropriately. It would be amusing except that these people are making decisions on our behalf.

For me, the most important quality in a councillor is the ability to communicate effectively with people - community members, council staff, other councillors and people from other organisations.

Only if communication is genuine and humble, will it be possible to have a high-quality council, one we can be proud of.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Daniel McGregor This week, we were asked to comment on the characteristics of a good councillor.

The list of characteristics provided were experience, vision, progressive attitude, attention to basics, efficiency, community pride.

That’s a great list and I’d certainly agree we’d like to see those characteristics evident in all of our councillors.

Rather than comment specifically on any of those characteristics, I’d rather point out an important one I think was left off that list: empathy.

Empathy is defined as the ability to understand

and share the feelings of another.

work and live.

Right now, in 2021, we are living in an environment where some of our leaders in Australia are being sent away to get empathy training. I’d suggest that anyone who entered politics lacking empathy (or having none) is unlikely to change their spots postempathy training (whatever that even is).

Exercise your voice and contribute to the pathway to a thriving community.

I’d like to think all our current Orange councillors are empathetic people and have no reason to think otherwise. My only point is that I believe it is a key characteristic of anyone in a position of civic leadership and has potentially never been more important.

Psychologist Dr Emma Seppala, scientific director of Stanford University’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education, has said: “The best leaders are those who have high emotional intelligence and a values-driven approach: humility, compassion, trustworthiness and empathy”.

In the recent past, we’ve seen leaders like Donald Trump use tactics of fear and anger to divide people, while others like Jacinda Ardern have been labelled “the most effective leader on the planet”, with many crediting the trust and confidence New Zealanders have in her with her ability to empathise.

I believe this quote by Roger Ebert is as accurate as you’ll get: “I believe empathy is the most essential quality of civilisation.”

And that’s why empathy should be at the top of the list of characteristics of our councillors.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Lesley Smith A community vision is compelling and futureoriented. It clearly describes where the community is going. A community vision should be based on a consensus representing all sectors of our region.

It is the community who, through collaboration and consultation, identify problems, evaluate changing conditions, and build collective approaches to improve the quality of life in the community.

It is our community, and everyone should have a say on what the community will look like in the future. A long-term perspective is key to a stable, realistic achievable vision which brings the community together and generates loyalty, trust, and a sense of belonging.

My vision for Orange is to see economic and environmental sustainability while retaining our regional lifestyle. I want to see people living and learning, having access to education and health services at the national standard, and leading fulfilling lives in our beautiful towns.

A vision requires a road map. It is the central focus - the motivating force.

A vision serves as the foundations for a broader strategic plan and decision making to achieve a desirable future for the place where we want to

Effective and efficient governance is integral to achieving outcomes – failing to plan is planning to fail and the devil is in the detail has been a mantra in my life regardless as whether a regional restaurateur or tracking, anticipating, and responding to emerging directions in education and training. I bring robust business acumen and ability to work systematically towards realising the short, medium, and long-term goals and directions of a strategic direction.

I am hard-working and my approach to life is characterised by honesty and integrity, collaborating and honouring commitments, and building a shared vision and driving positive change, in an inclusive and supportive environment.

I value and practice consultation and transparency in decision-making and bring no agenda, bias, or business interest, other than preserving the best of our region; ensuring we are active in mitigating climate, control and adapting to unavoidable change through considered town planning and rigorous monitoring of the impacts of property development.

Together we can build an economically and environmentally-sustainable community. As a community, we can develop a community resilience and a powerful vision of the future with increased collaboration between local and State government to support local infrastructure and secure our share of community grants Orange is currently enjoying the benefits of domestic tourism. The community owes a debt to the progressive attitude of those pioneers who promoted F.O.O.D and other spin-off local events.

Domestic tourism is fragile and fickle and there are many examples of when tourism has destroyed the attraction of a destination. Domestic Tourism needs to be carefully managed and curated to ensure it doesn’t consume itself. We are at a cross-roads, lets make sure we are on the right path to protect and conserve our regional appeal.

It is our regionality that attracts visitors and the money they inject into our society and makes this such a desirable place to live and contributes to the economy.

As your council representative together, we can preserve what the Orange Region is known and loved for whilst building opportunities for enduring growth in our community. I am a proud member of the Orange region, you’ll often find me speaking with our neighbours in the many boutiques, cafes, wineries and restaurants that create our regional flavour. I am your voice in preserving our region. It is this community pride that recognises that we are at a cross roads, lets ensure we are on the right path to protect and conserve our regional appeal. It is our regionality that attracts visitors and the money they inject into our society which ripples through all industry sectors and creates jobs.

This is our chance to get it right.

THE COUNCIL GAME

MOCK COUNCILLOR Pot Stirrer This is a very interesting topic for the Council Game and not one that can be answered adequately in a few words. There are, of course, many rules, regulations, and expectations placed on councillors that many of us may not be aware of, and that includes where their authority to do things actually starts and finishes.

Let me therefore just make some observations about our current group of councillors with the question asked in mind, and see where that takes us. I warn you some of this I’ve probably said earlier in one form or another.

On the issue of character, I like councillors who first and foremost clearly demonstrate they have the greater good at heart. If you watch and listen to the current group at Council meetings, you can soon tell whether they have or haven’t. Personally, I only detect this quality in a very few of our existing councillors. That is not to say they aren’t well meaning but, from my observations, too many of them seem to be all over the shop and when they do open their mouths, it often appears that what they say has involved about five minutes thought on their part or they just want to sound clever, or that a handful of people have got in their ear about some aspect of the issue. I don’t know how many times, I’ve heard Councillor McRae for one, say “I support the motion, but have I concerns about etc.….”. She and others seem too quick to have an each-way bet on many issues for mine and it’s hard to know what they really stand for. Sadly, a lot of people think this approach is impressive, I don’t!

On the main priorities list, I think getting a right balance of all these is important but, in a general sense, I’d like to think Orange Council had a reputation for being a progressive, forward thinking and an exciting Council. I don’t think that can be said of the existing councillors and indeed I have trouble attributing any worthwhile or exciting projects to any of them. Over recent months, councillors have slapped themselves on the back for everything good that is happening, but I can’t say that any of them were the reason these things are happening. To be honest, I don’t know who can take credit for the ideas like our Future City, the

Live Entertainment

Sat 19th June 8.30pm –12.30am

TERRY LOVETT’S ROCK N ROLL

Sports Stadium or any of the other big projects that are currently being talked about. The Mayor has suggested an arboretum on the Northern Distributor and Councillor Romano is pushing for a rest stop at the top end of town, eastern side, and Councillor Nugent thinks a rest stop near the Botanical Gardens is a good idea. For me, these ideas are hardly inspiring and there are better projects we should be considering.

The bottom line is, our current Council is enjoying the fruits of what the pandemic has done to our nation, created a wild and panic-driven Government spendathon. Homer Simpson would look good as a councillor in an environment like that.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Steve Peterson I’ve been asked to comment on responsibilities that people mention when they talk about Council. When I saw this topic, the first thing I thought of, is how often people talk about Council rates. I think that is the topic mentioned more than any other!

Council needs income to provide services. However, our council rates do appear to be higher than in surrounding councils. I would direct people to: www.yourcouncil.nsw.gov.au/compare-councils/ for the comparison.

I would be very suspicious of a prospective councillor saying they would lower rates. It would seem like something they couldn’t actually promise.

However, more transparency is very achievable. I think it is reasonable for an explanation as to why rates are higher than in surrounding councils. I will ask for this and want it to be made public.

In terms of desirable characteristics of potential councillors, there are many and of course those listed are valuable. Can I suggest two others.

Humility. A terrible trait of leaders is thinking somehow they are better than others because of their leadership role. I would like our representatives to see themselves as fortunate to have the opportunity to contribute to their community. They need an attitude that the majority of the time they will not be the expert on a subject, and truly believe they will need community help for them to do a good job.

Community focus. Linked to the above, potential councillors need to appreciate and demonstrate that they are there as community representatives, and not there to represent themselves. They need to be able to put their own agendas, ideology, ambitions and experiences with Council aside when necessary. They must be able to advocate what is in the interests of the community that they represent, even if they may personally desire something else.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Greater Good I think the emphasis in this week’s topic may be in the wrong place. Characteristics of councillors are important, as are all the priorities listed, but for me, the opening paragraph holds the key to a bigger issue.

“Generally speaking, it could be viewed that the majority of the community are vitally interested in how our City is run, but rarely do anything about stating their views, even when given the chance.

There are exceptions of course, for example when our space, our sphere of interest, or our livelihood is threatened by a Council proposal or decision.”

If the majority of residents do care about our City, that’s where we should start. We need more people speaking-up about issues, more people contributing ideas, and a whole lot more people believing that their opinion counts. This simply isn’t happening, despite anything Council might say to the contrary. Too often, when the community is asked for input, it’s at a time when many think the decision has already been made or it’s just a protocol that Governments must go through.

Clearly, decisions that are made are not always representative of the majority of the community, those people who care and have an opinion but simply don’t get involved for one reason or another.

Community Pride is one of the priorities listed.

Our next Council could do worse than start there, building visible and measurable community pride and making sure decisions are made for the greater good and meet what the majority of the community’s wishes are.

HistoryTALKING

with HELEN McANULTY

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water, Jack fell down and broke his crown and Jill came tumbling after.

Up Jack got and home he trot as fast as he could caper, He went to bed to mend his head with vinegar and brown paper.

Most of us remember the old nursery rhyme, but have you ever thought of the strange treatment Jack was given to cure his poor sore head?

Like many of these popular poems, the origin of the content and references are obscure and disputed. Whilst vinegar and brown paper, indeed, were used as treatments for inflammation and swelling in the past, Jack may well have suffered from something more embarrassing!

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the brown paper was made of old rope and canvas which was particularly useful as a poultice for a wound and cider vinegar has been used in medicine as an astringent for hundreds of years.

There were many more toxic chemicals like arsenic compounds and mercury used, but their efficacy was countered somewhat by their toxicity.

In fact, it is thought by some that it was treatment with mercury for syphilis that killed the great composer Franz Schubert (the affliction that may have also afflicted our friend Jack) rather than typhoid fever, the official diagnosis.

Much has changed since the discovery of penicillin by Alexander Fleming in 1928 which in turn, opened the door to a

variety of wonder drugs that saved the lives of millions.

Until its widespread use, which began in the 1940s, the only treatments available for bacterial infections were arsenic and sulpha drugs, which could be quite toxic.

Penicillin was used to treat infections of wounded and ill men fighting in the Second World War and prevented thousands of wartime deaths from meningitis, pneumonia and other diseases, including syphilis and gonorrhoea.

In the days before vaccination was available, there were epidemics of measles, mumps, whooping cough and chicken pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever and poliomyelitis.

Those were the days when country general practitioners performed complicated operations in small hospitals without the help of specialist anaesthetists and modern equipment, perhaps not always successfully, but with little complaint from their patients.

Tonsillectomies were often done at home on the kitchen table, as were other minor surgical procedures. A visit from a doctor was a bit like entertaining royalty and it was only undertaken as a last resort.

In fact, the faith patients placed in the doctors’ abilities was enormous and possibly went a long way to hasten

their recovery.

In those days, mothers often had a wealth of ammunition in their kitchen cupboards with which to fight any illness which attacked their family.

With this knowledge on board, the Orange Oral History Group felt empowered to remember the home remedies of their youth.

Castor oil featured largely in our lives, often followed by orange juice to take the taste away but possibly turned many people off oranges for life. It was supposedly a cure all for almost anything.

Quite often, if given the choice of castor oil or going to school, a child could suddenly recover and choose school instead.

Rum with milk and honey was a favourite cure for a cough in Elma’s childhood while Lyn’s mother preferred to administer a small amount of red wine in milk.

In fact, wine, rum and brandy featured quite often in home remedies and it may have also had a calming effect on those caring for the patient.

many in the group. Today we would worry about the side-effects of this cure but, apparently, our mothers gave it to us with confidence, especially for a sore throat. Not a cure that could possibly be recommended now!

Epsom Salts for aching muscles and calamine lotion were valuable additions to the medicine cabinet and Dick remembered sniffing up salt and water for a stuffy nose.

The cures for the common cold were many and varied and some of the group remembered mothers cutting up raw onions and placing them on the windowsills to ward off germs. Whether germs or people were kept at bay by the constant aroma is anyone’s guess!

There were also home remedies that sound a little alarming and were certainly uncomfortable.

For a cold in the chest: “Apply mustard mixed with olive oil and rub the chest and the back around the ribs. If done properly it will not blister.”

And “put brandy in a saucer and set it alight. When the flame dies, drink it.”

We could suppose that if you drank enough, you would forget all about your complaint!

Some of these remedies seem to be not only difficult to maintain, but downright dangerous, as in the cure for violent pains in the head: “Mix mustard, flour and oil in a bag and wear it on the nape of the neck for as long as possible.”

Blue bags were handy for bee stings, kerosine was used to get rid of nits and was also a trusted cure for a variety of other ailments.

Or for neuritis, you could “mix French iodine with potash of iodine, water and sarsaparilla and take a dessert spoon three times a day.”

Kerosine, especially with a spoonful of sugar, was useful to cure all manner of things in those days according to

They were made of sterner stuff in those days!

TIMEWARP Telegraph at Orange race meeting

A vital part of the organisation of Orange race meetings in the 1950s was the telegraph office.

The Morse line was primarily for the use of bookmakers on the course. Telegrams lodged in Sydney or Melbourne addressed to bookmakers at the racecourse were delivered three minutes after the time of lodgement. Pictured are telegraphist Mr A McPherson (foreground) and telegraph messenger B Dunn.

Jim Steinman, left, and Meat Loaf worked together for a number of years, writing the rock opera Bat Out of Hell together in 1977 — GARY GERSHOFF/GETTY IMAGES

JIM STEINMAN – WHO? READ ON!

There are times when the death of a musician or performer leaves me lost for words.

When that person has played a significant role in in my development as a music fan, there death does hit me a bit.

There are a few. David Bowie was one. Doc Neeson another. Freddie Mercury too.

And, one that happened recently, was Jim Steinman.

My guess is that not everyone knows the name, but you’d know Meat Loaf’s trillion-selling (official exaggeration) LP “Bat Out of Hell,” and you’d know a heap of his compositions for other singers too.

More about those contributions to rock n roll hit making further on.

But first, “Bat Out of Hell” came-out just before I headed into the teenage years.

That rock and roll crazy kid just went nuts over the screaming guitars and mind-blowing vocals delivered by one of the best, Mr Loaf!

But it wasn’t just that initial period around its 1977 release, it was for years after at teenage and 20-something parties where it was the soundtrack.

The brave types trying to sing along at the top of their voices, to varying degrees of success, or 32 JUNE 17—23, 2021

not, was always a highlight of putting “Bat Out of Hell” on the record player.

And then, in 1981, Jim Steinman released a solo album called “Bad for Good.”

I was the only person I knew who owned a copy.

It was cassette. It wore out! But I got another!

As you’d expect, the Steinman sound and his symphonic rock arrangements dominated “Bad for Good,” and there’s no doubt that some of the songs could have been on “Bat Out of Hell,” but it was different enough to make it a pretty interesting LP. Then in 1983 he reminded us all that he was still around when his song “Total Eclipse of the Heart”

by Bonnie Tyler raced to number one in Australia.

Around the same time ,Aussie band Air Supply, by then based in New York, recorded and released “Making Love Out of Nothing at All,” which made it to number two on the US Billboard charts. Incredibly it was held from number 1 by Bonnie Tyler’s “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

Russell Hitchcock’s knock-out vocal performance was made for a Steinman song.

While we are in New York, let’s go back to the start.

Jim Steinman was born in New York in 1947, and

died only recently, in April 2021, due to renal failure.

He was born and raised in a very small town, Hewlett, outside New York.

As he grew and developed his skills as a composer, arranger and lyricist, Steinman found himself increasingly in demand for projects throughout the 70s.

During that decade, he created musical scores for puppet shows and musical theatre adaptations of plays and books, while also growing his reputation as a songwriter.

One of those early songs “Heaven Can Wait” was recorded by a very young Bette Midler and it helped raise the profiles of both artists.

In ’73 Steinman and Meat Loaf met and worked together for the first time.

Over the next year or so, “Bat Out of Hell” was fully-developed by Steinman, and Meat Loaf with on-board for the project.

It took a year before a record company agreed to back the project.

Meat Loaf’s appearance as Eddie in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” finally opened the doors that needed opening.

The concept of the album was out of the ordinary and, when renowned record producer,

Todd Rundgren first heard the demos, he thought it was a joke!

He took on the production duties though.

Steinman’s creation was about become the biggest-selling album of it’s time and of all time. In Australia it has sold around 1.7 million copies and counting.

A few years after its release, it was estimated that around one in four households in Australia had a copy of “Bat Out of Hell” around the home somewhere. In the US, it has so far sold about 14 million copies, and around the world, an astonishing 50 million units.

With that success under his belt, Steinman again teamed-up with Meat Loaf for the 1981 album “Dead Ringer.” It featured the single “Dead Ringer for Love,” which was a duet with Meat Loaf and Cher.

He continued to provide hit material for Meat Loaf right up until 1995.

There is so much more to the Jim Steinman story than I have been able to tell you here.

As a music fan, he has been a part of it for most of my life and he has made my music listening richer, as he has with millions of music fans around the world.

That is a heck of a legacy to leave.

Canobolas Conservation Alliance (CCA) recently hosted a picnic at the base of Mount Canobolas as part of their campaign against proposed mountain-bike riding trails on the mount.

Following a relaxed lunch, dozens of conservationists headed into the State Conservation Area (SCA) for a guided walk along the Nature Trail to experience the beauty and uniqueness of the iconic mountain.

Walkers were given a “spotting list” with the guides providing information about the biodiversity and cultural significance of the SCA. The day was a great success with nearly 70 people attending, some travelling from as far away as Blackheath, Raglan (Bathurst) and the ACT. The CCA is a conservation group, formally established in 2020, to oppose inappropriate development in the (SCA).

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.

Orange City Life is pleased to be able to bring you this entertaining book in serial form of the coming 10 weeks. Our sincere thanks to Author Kim Kelly for giving us this special privilege.

AWAY ON THE SWEET BREEZE

‘Clean your teeth!’ Mum shouts at me as I bolt across the hall and up the stairs, on my way to shout my ‘good morning’ at Grandma.

I don’t stop at anything Mum says. I reckon I’m pretty good stuff, and I’m too happy. It’s the last week of school – no more primary school forever after Thursday. I’m twelve and now that I’m here, I can’t wait to get to high school next year. Not for the boys, though. I still hate boys, except for David Bowie, and maybe Daryl Braithwaite. I want to get to high school because you get to study poetry there, and mad history – like the Emperors of Rome and the Chinese Opium Wars. I’ve just finished reading Dad’s copy of Frank Hardy’s Power Without Glory and although I didn’t understand half of it, I’ve got so political I stayed up last night and wrote a letter to the Prime Minister, Malcolm Fraser, telling him people are more important than money. Mum said I should be careful making my opinions too loudly known, but I know Grandma will laugh her little giggle laugh and tell me I’m brave and clever.

I swing round from the top of her stairs to the door of her room, and I always get a funny feeling when I do. I know I’m too old to sleep with her anymore – I’ve been too old since I was ten – but somehow it always seems wrong that I don’t.

38 JUNE 17—23, 2021

Something seems wrong before I even see her today. Something is too quiet here. Grandma is usually up already, and doing the crossword, waiting for me. She says that when you get to a certain age you can stay in bed and read and do the crosswords as long as you like.

I think she’s still asleep. Her eyes are closed, her hands are folded over her stomach – that’s just how she looks when she’s asleep. Her hair isn’t red anymore; she let it go white after Granddad died.

Her white curls circle her face, her head hardly makes a dent in the pillow – yes, that’s exactly how she looks when she’s asleep. Her pretty little bird head on her pale-green pillowslip; Jesus looking down on her from his crucifix.

It’s warm up here in the flat. It’s going to be another hot December day, so I go back out and open the window above the sofa, to let the breeze in. I look round the flat: everything else seems normal: the kitchen is tidy; cup rinsed on sink; ashtray empty and cleaned. I look out the window at the dirty city sky: it looks like someone tipped an ashtray on it. A train screeches into Marrickville station; the brakes of a bus squeal down on Illawarra Road.

I should wake her up. I am running late now.

‘Grandma?’

She’s not asleep. I know she’s not asleep.

She’s gone. Away.

I don’t know what happens for the rest of this

day. I don’t think I am crying. It’s worse than that.

It’s like all the stories, our stories, are falling out of my head.

AND THEN DOWN THE LANE

I stop the car on the track when it happens again, for the third time – this odd shiver running through me, as if I have been here before. But I couldn’t have been. The map on my phone remains as it was when I last looked at it two minutes ago: Graham’s Lane, wherever that might be, somewhere between Millthorpe and East Guyong.

Why does this all look so familiar to me? A dirt track snaking through hills, an old, decaying hayshed, a line of brown cows along a fence looking at me with a query: and who, may we ask, are you?

I’m Brigid Boszko and I’m here to look at a block of land – ten acres of well-earned escape that Rick and I are keen to find. I glance at the phone again: about half a k further along this track.

We’ll know what we’re looking for when we see it – or I will. Rick is interminably tidying his desk in Sydney, before we can get out of there for good.

Am I looking at our future now?

Guyong. Why do I think I recognise that name only now that I am sitting here stopped in the car on this track? I know Granddad grew up in the countryside somewhere past Bathurst – that’d

Wild Chicory — by Kim Kelly be a hundred years ago, just about exactly – was it around here? Guyong. Yesterday, when I saw the property online, it seemed just another far-flung name that meant nothing to me, apart from the magic words of ‘established trees’, ‘four bedrooms’, ‘two bathrooms’ that came with it.

Pretty pictures of a rambling old weatherboard homestead, not in need of renovations. Welcome to Wiradjuri Country, the sign back up on the highway told me. Hello? Something makes me want to know who and what lives here.

I pull the car over to the side of the road and get out. The sun is warm, the breeze is too, but my shiver deepens, plunging into the centre of me and swirling around. I’m excited, and I don’t really know why.

It’s probably just that we’re so close now, to making this long string of wishes a reality.

Finding our place, where I will write, and Rick will make his mad sculptures out of discarded engine parts, and we’ll have a yard full of chickens and an orchard. And peace. The kids, Sam and Flynn, have grown and flown, and now it’s our time to explore what we’ve always wanted to: each other, uninterrupted. Our friends think we’ve lost our minds. Shouldn’t we be furiously working on our superannuation stockpile so that we can live out our days travelling the world? No. We’ve done our travelling: separately and together. I’ve done the European tour three times – first, when I was twelve, that winter after Grandma died, that whole year I barely remember at all except as series of strange, dislocated postcards, then back again with Mum and Dad at seventeen, where I whinged the whole way through France and Italy, plagued by some mysterious adolescent malaise – both times missing out on getting to the promised lands of Poland and Ireland, because of a persistent Iron Curtain drawn down on one, and never-ending Troubles in the other. When Rick and I took the kids in 2007, Poland was too far out of our budget, too many miles away from London, where his cousins are, and Ireland was a melancholy detour from there. I dragged my little family to Tralee, looking for the village Grandma was born in – Bally-something. I thought the name would come to me, once we were there, but it didn’t. There are about fifty places starting with Bally in County Kerry and it could have been any one of them.

In all the trivial and stupid things I’ve scribbled down throughout my life, I could have scribbled down that one important name, but I never did.

And Mum wasn’t here to ask, by that time.

Oh, Mum. I know she’s really why I am standing here on the side of this dirt track, in this weird muddle of emotions. She died suddenly ten years ago, from an aggressive tumour in her stomach – cruel but quick. Terrifying. Dad couldn’t cope: he died three years after her. He sat in front of the TV complaining about there being nothing on it: ‘No stories, only blah blah blah, people yelling at you.’ He sat there and stared at the yelling until he shrank into the lounge chair and faded away. They’d worked so hard all their lives, Mum and Dad – saving, saving, scrimping for their wonderful reward on retirement. They didn’t get to enjoy it for more than six months.

It’s not enjoyment I’m after, but work of a

different kind. Work I’ve always wanted to do: to tell my own stories. These stories that whirl round my head, the rush of them getting wilder the older I get. I’m scribbling them down all the time, notes scrawled on post-its at the office, on the back of shopping dockets, tearing out pages from my kids’ exercise books over the years. My laptop is stuffed with them: snippets, sketches, whole novels. I’ve even had a couple of them published here and there; one of them sold okay, too. But I want the time and the space now to let them come out as they will, not worked around other things, like drawing up contracts of sale on other people’s properties, as I have done parttime and mindlessly for the past twenty-odd years to make a buck for our family business: Boszko and Braddon Conveyancing. That’s not work: that’s just marking off days. I have a lot to say before I die. I’m forty-seven: my life is at least half done, if I’m lucky. I need to make the last half count. I need this place – wherever you are.

Are you here?

‘Bridge, you are nuts,’ my brothers Shane and Tim say about our plans, but they’ve always said that about anything I do or am, haven’t they. And they are tax accountants, both of them: they don’t know life any other way. Money, money, money.

When we were sorting out Mum and Dad’s estate, they actually argued over the fair and proper distribution of the kitchen appliances.

Seriously. ‘But Bridge,’ said Tim, ‘if you retire early your kids will end up with nothing when you go.’ They’ll cope. Flynn is a lawyer, just like his pa, and Sam is just finishing up her degree in architectural design.

And I’m not retiring, thanks. Women don’t retire: I see the old wax paper wrapper Grandma’s circle bread used to come in, folded neatly by her kitchen sink, waiting to receive the day’s garbage scraps, waiting there even on that day she died.

Nothing wasted; not a moment, either, when it could and should be filled with love and care of some kind.

‘You still doing your little writing thing?’ an old girlfriend from those schooldays asked me a few weeks ago.

Yeah, my little writing thing. That, apart from my babies and my lover, means everything.

Everything.

Mum knew that. For all that we were never really mother-daughter close, not in that cheesy cheek-to-cheek way at least, she kept every scrap of every silly thing I wrote when I was a child: file after concertina file, the Z pockets at the back stuffed with doodles, odd little musings, on my revolting brothers, school, trains full of strangers, and Sharon who lived across the road, as well as a surprising number of grandly ambitious narratives mostly abandoned at around page three. My mother collected all of them, up until I turned twelve. Up until Grandma left us. I held my stories close after that. I don’t think I wrote anything apart from a university essay then until I was about twenty-seven.

Something in the bright-blue questions I found in my own children’s eyes, something about their wonder at the world, started to bring my words back to me.

And now, just as I smile at the memory of my babies’ always-asking eyes, something catches mine – a flash of blue in the tall grass ahead, over the other side of the track. It’s a flower. I know as much about flowers as I do about farming – half a tick above nothing – but I know what this flower is. It’s chicory.

Grandma. I know this is chicory because she told me. Because this is exactly what she described: a little piece of sky stuck high on a spindly stick of straw.

I start walking across the track and up towards this straw-stuck flower now. One of the cows at the fence lets out an almighty moo as I go, and I laugh as I look back over my shoulder at her big dark eyes following me. And when I look ahead again, beyond the rusting old hayshed, as the track bends and slopes gently away, I can suddenly see chicory everywhere. This lane is lined on both sides with sprinklings of sky.

All of my grandmother’s stories tumble and spin through my heart at the sight. A tale of witches and fairies, foreigners and thieves; a distant crunch of wheels – going where? Her words flutter at the edges of my memory like butterfly wings, and I can’t catch them.

But I will.

Here.

😊

This is the last instalment of Kim’s book ~ we hope you’ve enjoyed the read

— 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.

Tickling Trout and Sleeping Chooks

I would like to tell you of my Australia in the 1930’s before the bureaucrats and do-gooders got to it. I can’t tell you of political correctness or transgender because I know nothing of them, I can however, tell SE COLEMAN — of how to live a happy life, to live comfortably with the laws of justice and morality and my favourite ts control what we can, lets more hobby – hunting. port and shop local.”

My personal triumph was the ability to tickle trout,

I have no idea of today’s regulations but, along with everything else, I’m sure it is frowned upon.

As we were not in trout stream country, I was told the theory at a young age but it was not until later in life I was able to try my luck. It goes like this: First find your trout stream (as Mrs Beaton’s recipe for jugged hare states “First catch your Hare”). You follow the steam watching the movement of the water weeds under the bank and looking for a change in the pattern, this is where the trouts fins are creating an eddy as he holds in position.

You slowly ease into the stream and move your hands slowly under him wriggling your fingers all the time. When you touch him you must be very gentle and do not stop wriggling your fingers, When you think you have him grab and throw at the same time, don’t try to hold him as he is far too slippery.

My first two attempts to grab him ended-up with nothing – he was far too quick. On my third attempt, I moved my hand in front of him and he took-off into the palm of my hand and “gotcha”.

Unfortunately, those days are gone and I’m sure tickling trout today is not allowed.

Every so often my mate Tom used to stay-over and we amused ourselves in all manner of ways. One was to see how many chooks we could lift-off the perch without waking the flock up in the hen house.

You very slowly and quietly enter the hen house.

Tapping a hen on the foot – when she lifts her foot you slid your other hand under it and the same for the other foot. Then you gently put her head under her wing and allow her to settle down and gently put her on the ground – she should be still asleep. Tom’s record was five lined-up, I never got that far.

Our biggest challenge was our old Rhode Island Red rooster, no matter how often we tried, he beat us every time – it was a case of “cackle, cackle, cackle, wake-up everyone, there is someone in our house”. He would look down at us head to one side as if to say “Oh, it’s you, little boys, go away and let us sleep. “Oops” a touch of nostalgia there. Let’s finish-up with my favourite Irish toast “Here’s to the top – may the bottom be a long way-off”.

THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for taking such a long time to at last realise that there is a homeless/domestic violence situation in Orange.

THUMBS UP to all the people who send in thumbs downs, you make my day. I read religiously hoping to see that some action of mine was worthy of making the "thumbs down" section. EDITOR: Thumbs down are welcome and will always get a run unless they are disrespectful, unkind, can’t be proven, offensive, questionable or anything else that makes them NOT helpful. In some cases, although we don’t publish them, sometimes we’ll send them on to the business or organisation mentioned so that they can consider them and take action if appropriate.
