THIS WEEK’S COVERS

Uncertain times like this, it’s amazing what different sides of human character can be on display.

We could again be back to toilet rolls and rice being rationed throughout the State as a “me-first” instinct reappears, mimicking last year’s lockdown mayhem with footage of people brawling in the health-care aisle of supermarkets around the country.

Talking of YouTube, there is also some off-take footage doing the rounds of some of our smiling “talking heads” from commercial television brawling over who was allowed to wear white that day and who was going to do the walk of shame back to the wardrobe department for a change of outfit!

Watching too-much “news”, it’s easy sometimes to believe the worst in human nature — that what we’re seeing is the slow decline of our shared humanity.

But inside Orange City Life this issue, we feature a great account from one of our best and bravest, a staffer at our local RSPCA animal shelter.

The story covers the vocation-of-caring for T’mielle White — local supervisor who has worked at the Orange Shelter for four years after starting-out as a casual.

The article is part of the RSPCA’s celebration of their 150th anniversary revealing some of the most unforgettable moments in their ‘Stories Behind The Scars’ series.

Another great story, a pictorial spread of a visit by the Orange Under 14s Representative Netball Team to the Anson Street School to shoot a few goals and also to discuss with the students the values that make a great team.

In our animal shelters, our hospitals, child-care centres, and retirement homes, we see people who have chosen a vocation over career, caring over currency.

Misty night outside of Orange Civic Theatre.

That’s what we try and do at Orange City Life, bring-out out the best in people. As the angel, Clarence tells kind-hearted but hapless good-guy George Bailley (James Stewart) in Frank Capra’s Christmas classic of the same name, “It’s a wonderful life”!

...Animals are very caring and always there for you, and, I thought, I’d give back...

T’MIELLE’S RSPCA VOCATION

is giving voice to those who cannot speak — DAVID DIXON —

How many neglected, abused, starved, and beaten animals have been rescued by the RSPCA over the past 150 years?

T’Mielle White may not know — because she’s at the frontline in helping find homes for hundreds of rescued, surrendered, abandoned, and unwanted local pets each year in Orange district.

Like most RSPCA staffers, she sees her position as local shelter supervisor as more vocation than career with her love of animals drawing her to the organisation.

“I first saw the job in the paper when they were looking for a casual position. I had previously been working at a boarding kennel and thought that the RSPCA would be a better fit for me,” she explained.

Originally residing in Lake Macquarie from a family of pet lovers, the RSPCA, she added, was right up her street. “Everyone in our family — grandparents, aunts, cousins — they all had pets.

“So did my family, we had pet dogs, mice, hermit crabs, fish, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs. We did have a budgie as well… but never a tortoise, I wish!

“Animals are very caring and always there for you and, I thought, I’d give back,” she said.

The job, she adds, is about a commitment to compassion, rather than cushy pay and conditions.

“We don’t get a lot of benefits like public holidays, Christmas and Easter, because the animals need us.

T’Mielle, though, says that she prefers to see the good rather than the bad in her daily duties — the kindness rather than the cruelty and indifference.

“We do sometimes see those things, and that’s quite unfortunate, but the adoptions, the happy endings, outweigh all that,” she said.

“The RSPCA is made-up of people helping animals which have no voice. We want to give a voice to the voiceless and to tell their stories.”

Like many of the caring professions where monetary reward isn’t the motivation, women form nine out of her 10-person crew.

“I’m doing it because I want to be here and doing what I want to do. It’s good to be able to make a difference,” she said.

One of the toughest parts of the job, as for most of her team, she says, is not taking her work home with her!

“It is hard, a lot of our staff both foster and adopt a lot of animals… I have two cats myself,” she confessed.

As one of our largest not-for-profits, volunteers play a central role in the success of the local shelter with new recruits always a welcome addition.

“We also don’t get holidays off in the snow, we still have to come to work because the animals still need looking-after.”

“We have a range of volunteers who help-out from time-to time. They can do a variety of work: reception, answering calls, some come and spend time with the dogs, maintenance… gardening type of things,” she explained.

Her account is part of a series highlighting the animal welfare group’s first century-and-a-half titled “Stories Behind the Scars”.

With 21 cat kennels and 44 for dogs, she, said, surprisingly, that canines make-up a majority of their work with more than one animal at the shelter

4 JULY 8 — 14, 2021

(on average) finding a home each day, with dogs often the toughest to get permanent homes for.

“Last year, in all of 2020, we adopted-out 403 animals,” she said, adding that homing animals is not simply a matter of handing-over pets as people make requests.

“We carry-out behavioural assessments and we may say, ‘this dog can’t go to a house with children’, or ‘this must be the only dog in the house,” she explained.

“Because of this, we do find some animals take a long-time to find homes for, particularly those with restrictions.”

Despite a commonly-held view that the RSPCA animal shelter at 71 William Street acts as a Council facility with funding from Local Government, the group relies on most of their funds from the public who value their work.

“A lot of our funding for the RSPCA is from donations, not from government… we’re an independent not-for-profit,” T’Mielle said.

“But we did receive $210,000 in funding from the State Government in 2021, which we’ll be using for renovation of the shelter. We want to upgrade the cattery building and create some isolation wards,” she added.

Empathy, not money, she says, is what the RSPCA is really all about.

“Each and every one of us has a real passion for animals, and their welfare is what we’re really focusing on,” T’Mielle concluded.

Comment with David Dixon

Horror movie, right there on my TV Horror movie fans — and who isn’t? — all know the moment. The vengeful ghost, alien monster, or psychotic killer has been despatched to a giant meatgrinder (or microwave oven, whirlpool, or burning building) and the hero and heroine are embracing in tears at their unlikely escape.

Then, out of nowhere, “GRRR”, “Oh no — he’s back for one last hurrah!”

That is how many of us must be now feeling about our “escape” from the coronavirus. We did the right-thing, battened-down, lost a year off our lives, saw other States and countries suffer overflowing hospital wards followed by lockdowns, hotel quarantines, mandatory mask-wearing, so that we could now emerge triumphant into the light of day!

But now we’ve returned to April 2020, déjà vu all over again, as the joke goes.

Masks are back, as are capacity limits in most shops; empty store shelves in supermarkets; and sombre statistics of new infection rates read-out on the nightly news.

Here in the Central Tablelands, largely (though not totally) unscathed by the pandemic, locals have started noticing a few more strangers on our streets, many wearing puffer jackets, giant beanies, and scarves, as if for a weekend at the snow.

Twice in one lunchtime, I was approached by couples asking me directions to the local supermarkets. Both assured me nervously, after inquiry, that they had moved to the Colour City over six months ago, though my presumption was that they were "lockdown refugees" from the big-smoke.

And why wouldn’t you? Lockdowns may or may not help in limiting infection rates for COVID-19, but one thing is certain, they do little for many people’s mental well-being.

In a purely selfish sense, wouldn’t you rather spend the school holidays in a beautiful winter city like Orange with its wineries, bistros, and fine-dining; enjoying a good local Cabernet Sauvignon by an open fire in an historic home, rather than being stuck in dreary, lockdown Sydney?

While Australia’s low vaccination rates have been declared a disaster — a vaccine centre I pass most days appears near-empty — it may simply be that locals have decided that the risk of infection is so small, they’d rather not risk any side-effects of the vaccine.

When I worked for NSW Agriculture, any new pathogen that entered our rural industries — such as Newcastle disease for chickens — would be declared “exotic” with literally hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars spent trying to eradicate it as quickly as possible.

If this failed, then ultimately, the disease would be declared “endemic”, which meant that the industry itself was now charged with whatever efforts they could afford to limit the damage and spread of the disease.

With new variations of COVID-19 appearing now on a regular basis — a normal function of adaption of any disease — there may simply come a time when we will have to decide that, like the flu, the common cold, and taxes, we are all simply going to have to get used to living with the coronavirus.

AARON IS LOOKING TO CAFE LATTE’S LADY LUCK TO TURN Aaron Wright is making sure he gets his Powerball entry in every week!

Proprietor of local coffee-shop institution, Café Latte; he reckons his luck has to change!

until the landlord’s insurance company clears and makes the site safe,” he added.

Aaron and wife, Emma, have had a star-crossed 18-months involving COVID-19 lockdowns, restrictive trading during first wave of the pandemic, and then a fire on Easter Monday that literally destroyed their premises on Summer Street.

Notified almost immediately the fire started, he was hopeful that he could keep operating almost as business-as-usual.

However, the kindness of the local Uniting Church community, has come to his rescue.

Relocating to the main Church Hall at 217 Anson Street; he is now battling-on under our second winter lockdown as he waits for the interminable wheels of insurance assessors to slowly turn… a solid wood coffee-table one of the few items that he managed to rescue from the fire.

“Believe it or not, we got it out the day of the fire just before we were shot down,” he said. His insurance company, though, has not been able to act with such expeditious efficiency over the past three months.

“Hopefully, in two weeks’ time, it may start.

“We’re waiting for a ‘make safe’ order so that our insurance assessor can get-in and do an assessment of the building,” Aaron explained.

“Because the fire was upstairs (in a small, occupied flat), my insurance company won’t go in

Aaron though, likes to keep busy; he would still rather be operating than sitting at home watching television streaming services.

“It just gives you something, an out to keep business going; it’s good for the kids, it keeps structure and meaning in their lives,” he said about his three children.

“We got the call at 11.30 in the morning and, when I came down, it didn’t look too bad, it was still just burning in the flat. I thought ‘a fire upstairs, we’ll be able to keep trading’.”

At the moment, he’s hoping that it’s going to be a happy new year for his business, customers, and staff. “We’ve been operating 12 years, so it’s our life in many ways.”

The fire in the at-time unoccupied bed-sit eventually, however, collapsed the floor above into his shop (bringing down an uninjured firefighter at the same time!) making the whole site unsafe.

“It could have been anything that caused it; because we don’t own the building, probably we’ll never know. The next day I came down, I thought, ‘that’s us gone!’.” he said ruefully.

Taking-up a corner of the centre with tables, chairs, and signage, he has replicated in miniature the homely ambience of one of Orange’s longestestablished traditional coffee shops.

Regular customers at the coffee shop — members of the local church around the corner — though stepped-in, heeding the example of the Good Samaritan.

“We’ve got cakes, coffee, and we’re now doing meals again, so our message is, ‘come back and support us,” he said.

“The Uniting Church approached us and offered us a place in the Uniting Church parish centre. They said, ‘come over and have a look,’ and the rest is history,” he said.

Making the best of life’s vicissitudes, he is now also battling the most-recent pandemic lockdown restrictions that have seen custom of only about 30 per cent of his usual trade. “On Monday, I lost $12,000 in catering because of COVID.”

His father Lindsay, dropping in for a chat, said that Aaron and Emma have been able to keep going with the benefit of a little help from their friends.

“The main thing is, that his loyal customers at his other shop, are supporting him here.”

Aaron even now is looking to the future for his eventual re-opening. “I was hoping for Christmas, it should take about three weeks to complete the safe-work, and we then go from there,” he said.

“I’ve been playing Powerball as a stress-release, when we win the $6 million, we won’t have any worries then. I mean, our luck has got to change sometime, right?”

Orange Under 14s Representatives Netball Team visit Anson Street School WORDS BY PAM RYAN | PHOTOS BY SAMUEL RODWELL When the Orange Under 14s Representative Netball Team was first selected, among other aims, they identified wanting to learn and to have fun. On June 24, they were privileged to have a special opportunity to do just that with a visit to Anson St School. The visit was mutually-beneficial.

As Principal Melanie Meers explains, Anson St seeks to build a sense of belonging and social connection for its students. Coach Pam Ryan says the U14s team strives to build a culture of understanding and appreciation for the community the girls represent.

Anson St focusses on four pillars of ‘hope, curiosity, kindness, and gratitude’. The U14s have a team mantra of ‘pace, space, face, grace’. While the first two are netball references to playing their best game, the second two are about their character and values.

So, there is much in common.

The day was actually one of considerable disappointment for the team, with the announcement of the COVID-related postponement of their State Titles, set to take place in Penrith on the weekend.

Yet, true to their character, they put that aside and happily went about the task at hand.

On arrival, the girls were warmly welcomed by

Stage 4, 5, and 6 students and Emily Callaway (teacher and team manager) and invited to introduce themselves. The Anson St students then asked some great, probing questions, such as what had drawn them to netball, what skills they needed, and what was difficult. The girls needed to be on their game!

It was then outside where the U14s took the students through a ‘Simon Says’ warm-up and then played ballgames with them. There were some fabulous passing and catching skills on display.

Needless to say, there was also great sportsmanship all around.

In finishing the visit, the Anson St students made a presentation and had some wonderful advice for the girls, urging them to give their best at all times and not give up, even when things get hard. The U14s can undoubtedly carry that advice with them – through their netball and through their lives.

The U14s would like to thank Anson St School for their generosity and kindness in hosting the visit. Here were the U14s aims in action – learning from and with the Anson St students and everyone having fun doing so.

“Sea” Presidents Cup at Orange Art Society Orange Art Society has proved a sea of creativity, companionship, and craft for its members during these fraught times.

So, it is appropriate then, that the theme for this year’s prestigious President’s Cup competition has a maritime bent.

We’re always looking for new members, we try and intermix local artists and those from Sydney and beyond at our exhibitions.”

“We feel it was important to keep the doors open and to continue selling works,” Jodie said.

More than 20 works were received for the annual event that offers all members the chance to enter.

“There’s a lot of widows, widowers, older people who don’t do a lot of other social things, and this is their outlet.”

Entries are now on display for President, David Mason to make his assessment on Tuesday, July 13 and Wednesday, July 14 with winners announced at a special event at 2pm on Saturday July 17.

With her mother a member since the 1970s, Jodie said that the various classes and painter gettogethers provides down-time that isn’t allotted to other areas in our busy lives.

“David chooses the theme; this year was ‘Seascapes’, they can be on any theme and the competition is open to all members and every member is encouraged to enter, we had 22 entries this year, which is about normal,” Jodie Geach from the Society said.

“It’s the one time of the week, I can put aside just for my painting, I know I have Tuesday nights for nothing else,” she said.

Due to the manifold benefits that the Society provides, the Committee this year decided to keep the gallery open throughout the current COVID-19 restrictions.

Classes range from figure painting, watercolours, mixed media, life drawing, abstract art, weekend workshops, beginners’ acrylics, and even a mixed “high tea art party and Colour” event.

“it’s not really a class, we chat, make coffee, tea, discuss our paintings and offer advice, it’s wonderful,” she added.

“We’re always looking for new members, we try and intermix local artists and those from Sydney and beyond at our exhibitions,” Jodie said of the Society.

“We had a really amazing artist, Kristine Ballard, up in April, everyone had so much fun, it was so successful, we’re bringing her back in October.”

An engraved cup will be presented to the winner of this year’s President’s Cup with prizemoney of $100 for first place, $70 for second place, $50 for third place and $10 for the Children’s prize (under 16 years). A gift voucher of $50 has also been donated

by Raw Canvas Orange, for the Peoples’ Choice.

The exhibition will run until the end of July; visitors are invited to vote for their favourite piece for the Peoples’ Choice award.

The Gallery — opposite the entrance to Harris Farm in the Woolies carpark — is open most days and everyone is welcome to have a browse. If the door is open and the flag is out, it is open.

Chess tournament offers device-free day for kids

Like the pony express, Orange’s traditional school holidays chess tournament, always seems to get through.

Tournament organiser, Bevan Clouston may or may-not be able to attend, but the event is still going ahead this Saturday, July 10, Bevan confirmed.

“I’m still hoping to be there. I am just putting backups in place. It depends on what the Government decides.” Bevan said from Sydney.

The tournament offers one of the few local events where tournament rules apply to junior players, offering valuable experience for school-aged players in the region. Ohh, and it’s the perfect chance to get your kids off their electronic devices for one-day!

“In April we had 33 players, and everyone had a fantastic day! The time control for the tournament is 15 minutes per game plus five seconds per move. There will be trophies for first, second, and third and age prizes,” Bevan said.

Cost for the tournament is $22 for one child, $40 for two, with each additional child $15.

As usual, St Barnabas Anglican Church Parish Hall on the corner of Dora and McLachlan Streets, east Orange is the venue with the games starting at 9.30am and finishing at 3.30pm.

Special feature of the event, is that players are carefully matched with opponents of similar standards with almost all games close and exciting affairs.

“You don’t have to be good, this is a fun tournament,” Bevan said.

“But a knowledge of the rules is required, and tournament conditions will be applied.

“The games will be timed with chess clocks, but don’t worry if you have never played with clocks,” Bevan said.

“You’ll be told how they work. The results will be sent to the NSW Junior Chess League for ratings,” Bevan added.

For more information or to register, contact Bevan Clouston on 0415 828 613, or email: bkclouston@gmail.com Late entries will also be accepted on the day, Saturday, July 10, and will cost $25 per player.

OCLife PROUD ORANGE BUSINESS

Purpose-designed dental clinic realises Patrick, Sarah’s dream Purpose-designed and built dental clinics are the future, Dr Patrick Rourke believes.

R

ecent opening of Orange’s first, ground up, dedicated practice at 147 Hill Street is not only the model for the 21st century, but the realisation of Patrick’s vision for a modern practice.

After practicing dentistry in Orange for the past 12 years, most recently in the Wellness House — Patrick with wife and business partner, Sarah — have fulfilled their dream of creating their own dental practice now located next to Orange Croquet Club.

“My father and grandfather were both dentists in Sydney, and they, in effect, had their practices shoe-horned into leased properties or converted Federation houses,” he explained.

“It was the same when I first came here from Sydney, a converted Federation home in Kite St. “That was before I went to the Wellness House, which was suitable for a small dental practice, but we expanded and it was no longer fit-forpurpose,” he added.

Growth of his clinic provided Patrick with the perfect rationale to realise his dream of a dentistry-specific and architecturally-designed practice that would fulfil the needs of an increasingly-sophisticated market.

Orange Family Dental has now grown to four practitioners with Dr Rourke, Dr Cheng Zhang, Dr Amy Calvin and Dr Stephanie Hollis who will be joining the team in August.

“With the support of the community of Orange and surrounds, demand for our dental services

has grown and we made the decision to expand and provide more treatment rooms and appointments to ensure our patients don’t have to wait long for dental treatment,” Patrick said.

The pleasant suburban surroundings and extensive parking are designed to ensure that patients enjoy a stress-free environment for the care, protection, and repair for one of our most important health issues, our teeth.

“We looked at several places and — due to its location on the main northern thoroughfare, proximity to the DPI building, and future housing precinct at the old hospital site — with ample unlimited street parking, decided that this was the ideal location,” Patrick said.

“We also designed our treatment rooms and working spaces to be north-facing with pleasant views over Jaeger Reserve and the Orange Croquet Club.”

But the most unique feature of the new building, he says, is its flow-through design creating seamless treatment from reception through to consultation and treatment.

“To ensure we stay at the forefront of providing quality dentistry, we have purpose-built our new practice with a focus on patient comfort, workflow and the highest standards of clinical safety and diagnostic accuracy.

“This means we can maintain high-standards of safety in a really-efficient manner,” he added.

Conceived from the start to be the best facility possible, Patrick used his professional contacts from decades of practice to get it just-right.

“I had a really good architect, I gave them a rough outline of what I wanted, and we went from there on the principle that, a modern dental surgery is like a mini-hospital with a flow of instruments to be sterilised and equipment ready to use.

“I took advice from guys, many of whom are now retired, and I asked them: ‘If you were to design a surgery, what would be on your wish-list?’ and started from there.

“Due to the time required for autoclaving (intense sterilisation); you’ve got to have enough instruments throughout the day, and this building is designed to create efficiencies around that process,” Patrick explained.

As well as seamless treatment and care, the clinic also has the best diagnostic tools available with new, state-of-the-art dental equipment including Kavo dental chairs, an OPG and CBCT, and the 3-D Scanner which operates using a full-digital protocol.

“The practice of dentistry is changing at a rapid rate, with new technologies, techniques and best practices,” he said.

With Orange fast becoming the health hub for western NSW, the new facility is designed to make the local practise of dentistry as efficient and timely as possible.

“We’re trying to reduce our waiting lists by having more dentists, hygienists, and therapists… all three of us are flat-out at the moment,” Patrick concluded.

For south Orange tree campaigners, one definitely the loneliest number Forlorn effort to convince Orange Council to consider other sites for the sports precinct other than south Orange inspired this amazing “Both” human sign created by more than 150 locals.

The sign (image: Clayton Rose) indicates that Orange could retain the unique regenerating natural area around the decommissioned Ex-Services Golf Club site, as well as have its new 8500 capacity rectangular sports stadium at the same time.

BIG Dreams, Born Here.

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

Opponents of the siting of the sports precinct at Bloomfield however, say that they haven’t given-up the fight for consideration of other venues for the facility.

Orange Council recently though voted 10-1 to remove more than 250 trees from the area as preliminary work for the precinct, which won’t be approved until the next Council is elected in September.

“We haven’t really given-up while they’re still standing,” a spokesperson for the environmental groups fighting to retain the 513 trees said.

“There were so many things that we are unhappy about in how that decision was made,” the spokesperson added.

Lack of a comprehensive business plan for the $25 million project; the lack of an integrated urban plan for the area; the last-minute Council minute proposing the south Orange site at a Council meeting 18-months ago, all cast doubt as to the proper assessment of the site, the spokesperson said.

“A Health and Innovation Masterplan was developed for this site in only September 2019, and yet the choice of south Orange was made as a late item for the meeting in December 2019,” the spokesperson said.

“The sort of thinking that went into the switch was pretty short-term, it was decision-making on the run,” the spokesperson added.

They believe that a fully-developed and independent masterplan authored by independent urban planners should have been created for the whole site before any final decision was made.

“From an urban planning point of view, you don’t plomp a sports stadium in the middle of a health precinct,” Changes to our climate are also likely to make sites like the south Orange green space more important to our well-being, the spokesperson said.

“Urban planning expert, Professor Barbara Norman said we would be removing a crucial piece of public infrastructure to keep people safe during heatwaves,” the spokesperson said.

“Ironically, on the day of the Council meeting, June 28, Canada experienced a 195 per cent increase in sudden deaths due to heatwaves.

“Professor Will Steffan from ANU makes it clear that ‘planting new trees to replace mature ones removed’ will be no help at all, because by 2030, if enough hasn’t been done, everything is out of control. That’s why this is recognised as, ‘the crucial decade’,” the spokesperson concluded.

Glen resided at Carcoar but more recently at the Benjamin Short Grove Aged Care facility in Orange.

His mates spoke of his long record of service - in the engineers, and then the 1/19th Batallion RNSWR. The stories were warm and humorous and it was a very fitting tribute to a man who dedicated such a large part of his life to serving Australia.

COUNCIL AT WORK BRIEFS:

Council looks to next steps on sports precinct

— The next Orange City Council meeting will be held on Tuesday July 20, 2021.

Orange City Council is working on finalising the areas where around 250 trees can be removed from the site of a proposed new sports precinct.

The Council meeting on Monday 28 June 2021 decided, by a ten votes to one margin, to remove the trees from two areas of the site: in the vicinity of the proposed new stadium and the athletics track.

FAQs:

The NSW Heritage Council had earlier supported removing trees in the two areas of the precinct, and has asked Council for a Landscaping Master Plan for the whole site before considering the removal of trees on other parts of the site.

Council staff will now make contact with the Heritage Council to apply for the ‘Section 60 Work Certificate’, which will finalise the boundaries of the two areas. By the end of the week, it‘s expected Council will also supply a Landscape Master Plan for the whole site. The plan will detail where trees will be removed and where even more trees will be planted.

Orange Mayor Cr Reg Kidd said he was looking forward to work starting on-site.

“I was very impressed with the quality of the debate from community speakers at Monday night’s meeting,” Cr Reg Kidd said. “People, both for and against, put a lot of time into preparing their remarks and it was important for the councillors to hear the depth of community feeling in a balanced and thoughtful debate.”

“From the local reaction I’ve seen since Monday, it’s clear to me that the Orange community has welcomed the decision and they’re looking forward to Council getting on with the work.

PRECINCT: An artist’s impression of the new precinct.

Because they are based on the Blue Mountains, we currently looking at a COVID-related delay.”

Orange City Council’s Sport & Recreation Committee chair Cr Jason Hamling has outlined how the next steps in gaining planning approval for the sports precinct will play out.

“I know people are very keen to see work beginning, but with a project of this scale there are still a number of planning approvals to be gained, and residents will need to be patient,” Cr Hamling said.

“A number of speakers on the night asked when the proposed sports precinct will be considered by the Western Regional Planning Panel. It’s now looking like the DA proposing the removal of the rest of trees will be bundled together with the

FutureCity upgrade reaches next ‘steps’

The steps that are being upgraded The next phase of the FutureCity upgrade to Lords Place and Byng Street begins with an upgrade of the steps and ramp in front of the entrance to the Orange Civic Theatre.

The area will be demolished in two stages to ensure access to the theatre foyer is available during construction.

People with mobility concerns should use either the Orange City Council office entrance, or the entrance from the Council car park.

The pebble surface on the steps and ramp will be replaced by a concrete path way, in line with the look of the existing surface of the cultural precinct near the Orange Regional Museum.

The upgrade is designed to enhance the appearance of the area, create a safer, less slippery walkway and reduce the incline of the existing ramp. This will make access for people using wheelchairs and mobility scooters easier.

The work is expected to finish towards the end of July, weather permitting as well as contractor availability.

Due to the current Public Health Orders regarding people living or working in the Greater Sydney area, no performances at the theatre are booked during the work, with the exception of the

Event organisers will continue to monitor the NSW Health regulations and advise ticket purchasers of any changes to Festival arrangements.

A notable group of guest authors have come on board to entertain and inspire Central West readers with their stories and experiences at the popular winter event.

Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said the Readers and Writers Festival had been held annually since 2015, with the exception of last year due to the pandemic, and started out as an idea to bring readers and writers together in regional NSW during the winter months.

“While the Panel will have the final say, the next Council that’s elected in September will be able to consider the next round of feedback from the community and indicate its support to the Planning Panel.

“Because that’s happening after the September election, that would let the sports precinct become an issue the people of Orange might keep in mind when they were choosing a candidate.”

that could stand her in good stead, but is not underestimating the challenges of a high-pressure interview over what can sometimes be an imperfect service.

“I think it brings a different level to it, it brings different challenges but, at the same time, it makes regional candidates a lot more accessible; there are pros and cons to it,” she added.

Winona recently finished an 18-month job-placement traineeship with emergency accommodation group, Housing Plus, and credits Skillset with helping her find a career that engenders genuine excitement and a sense of real purpose.

As well as her important work with the Homelessness Team at Housing Plus, she is also a dedicated community volunteer and advocate for youth mental health for Headspace and also sits as an active member of the Orygen Youth Advisory Council.

“Once I found this sort of groove, it’s become something that I’m deeply passionate about and, if the opportunities arise so as to be able to grab it — I will,” she explained.

From Wiradjuri country (Harden, near Young), she completed a Certificate III in Community Services at TAFE, specialising in working with homelessness before gaining a vital front-line role with the local housing provider.

“I gained a fulltime position as one of the support officers at the front desk…we do have quite a number of indigenous clients,” she said.

“Skillset were really, really supportive…it’s important to have that back-up,” she said.

Her presentation will incorporate three main areas of her training, the benefits of education; the challenges she has faced in her work, and: “what we are passionate about,” she said.

WINONA IS ZOOMING-IN ON STATE SKILLSET FINALS Interviews are tough at the best of times, but Winona Gray-Levett is remaining as cool as a cucumber.

With a natural confidence, Winona is unfazed by the trial-by-interview she will now undertake mid-month on live-interview service, Zoom (video conferencing service) to determine who makes the State finals in August in Sydney.

“It was going to be in Sydney, but the interviews

were changed due to the COVID restrictions.

“We have to do a presentation about what we’re passionate about, plus the personal journey that we are on,” Winona explained.

She believes that the phone-based nature of much of her work offers her a level of experience

She said that, before her Skillset traineeship, she was not quite sure what direction she would take with her career.

“I was sort of looking about, only picking-up casual jobs but, once I saw it, I became really, really interested,” she said.

The traineeship then led onto the volunteer work with Headspace’s National Youth Reference Group, and the Orygin Youth Mental Health Advisory Group.

Skillset CEO, Craig Randazzo congratulated Winona on her prestigious achievement.

“We are extremely proud of Winona for being recognised as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Student of the Year as a result of her outstanding work ethic and passion. Winona sets an exceptional example for students in her local community, and we look forward to seeing her continue on this exciting career path,” Mr Randazzo said.

You could also, become an award winning educator...

For our educators “Family” is the most important part of Family Day Care.

The relationships built with the families and the children they care for are long lasting and valued. A career as an early childhood educator with Orange Family Day Care gives you that unique experience.

We caught up with two of our parents to see how they see their relationship with their Family Day Care Educators Bobbie and Danni.

“Bobbie makes me feel safe when I leave my children in her care, I know she looks over them as her own and will do anything to protect them.”

“Bobbie knows what skills need improving in my children at different ages. For example, Carter is learning letter recognition through fun and exciting ways that he doesn’t even realise he’s learning such important skills.”

“I am truly truly grateful that my son went into care when he did and that he gets to have Bobbie as his educator, now BOTH my boys get to be taught by Bobbie and I could not be more thankful. It will make me sad to move on when my children grow up and I hope to continue to

stay in contact with Bobbie and her amazing family.”

“Danni includes Baby Campbell in all activities with the older kids to make him feel included in the group, I know he loves it! She allows him to be creative and independent in his learning.”

“Danni has setup her home with a beautiful playroom space and the addition of the animals at home allows my son to get familiar with different animals and to experience something he isn’t able to at home.”

“I’m so grateful that Danni has taken the leap into Family Daycare, I think she will go very far and is an amazing professional educator. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and for that I’m so grateful that she gets to teach my son in his early years.” “ I absolutely love family day care, it was the only type of care I considered for my Sammy. I felt it would be more personal, like a little family rather than just another number in a large center. And it has gone beyond expectations. Trish is just a true gem, she loves the kids as her own, nothing is an issue and Sammy is always so happy to arrive at her home.”

Each year Family Day Care Australia recognise outstanding practice in

family day care with the Excellence in Family Day Care Awards. Orange Family Day Care is very excited to have the following educators nominated by their families and the community of Orange: Bobbie Brown Dannielle Byrnes Amanda Cotter Kathy Hausler Krystal Mitchell Heidi Perrett Lydia Smith Trish Streatfeild Kellie Tom These nominations reflect the high level of professionalism and respect given to these educators and the service as a whole. Orange Family Day Care would like to invite anyone looking to enhance or start their career in early childhood to join our service as a Family Day Care educator and take advantage of the current start-up funding available from Orange City Council. Up to $2000 is currently available. For more information on becoming an educator and the funding available get in touch with the Coordination unit on 6393 8670 or email familydaycare@orange.nsw.gov.au

Heal Country: This past week has been NAIDOC Week.

How have you celebrated, commemorated, reflected or participated in this important event? This year’s theme has been Heal Country. An important theme considering all that has happened in our culture over the past 12 months with the Black Lives Matter movement. This movement has rightly raised the issue of Indigenous deaths in custody and the injustice that our Aboriginal People have faced. But the need for healing goes back much longer than the past 12 months. Our Aboriginal People have suffered deeply and although the conversation has shifted and positive action has taken place, there is far more that needs to be done. Healing needs to happen. For Aboriginal People, country is more than place. It is inherent to their very identity. So, when we think about how we can move the conversation forward and seek to bring true healing, we must understand and recognise this. When I heard that the theme of NAIDOC Week this year was Heal Country, it spoke to me. Why? Because it touches on a deep longing that many of us – if not all of us have deep inside. We long for something better. We long for healing of hurts. We long for harmony. We long for a deep unity that binds us together that reaches across all and every cultural, ethnic and class divide.

We need healing. Without healing, the cycle of hurt will continue. So, is healing possible? I believe it is, but not in the way that you may

expect. The answer comes in the person of Jesus. The church has a lot to answer for in the way that it has contributed to our hurt and mistreatment of Aboriginal People.

But I want to say that it was the fault of the institution, not Jesus. History has seen again and again, people committing great crimes in the name of religion, but they have always been driven by a deep misunderstanding and misguided religion and not by a true understanding of the gospel. It was the institution that caused the hurt, not Jesus.

We see this is the very words of Jesus. In the Luke 4:16-18, Jesus says this about what he came to do: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.” You see, Jesus came to bring peace and healing to our world. This was the heart of his message and purpose. To heal the hurt caused by injustice, displacement and institutions. He came to heal this world. This is why Jesus suffered death on a cross. So that there could be healing. So as we reflect on our shared past and as we look to our shared future, take the time to think about healing. It is important that we pursue this together. It is important that past hurts are acknowledged.

It is important that we work toward a better future. But as we do, that we think about who it is that can bring true, deep and forever healing.

Phil Donato MP STATE MEMBER FOR ORANGE It was great to catch up with Wayne Hill recently and present him with a certificate to recognise his efforts in establishing The Resilience Project as part of the curriculum of seven local schools.

DONATO’S

DIARY! G’day!

Although in its infancy, the school-based mental health program has been embraced by teachers and students alike, and the program is already planned to expand across additional schools.

I’d also like to acknowledge the financial support of this program from the Orange City Council and the Orange Aboriginal Medical Service.

Resilience Project for Mental Health

Just a reminder that if you have any questions about the current lockdown rules or financial support in relation to COVID-19, the best place to contact for information is Service NSW, on 13 77 88. They have dedicated staff and up-to-date information as things progress.

Here’s hoping we will be back to normal soon.

Boys to

the Bush MEN’S HEALTH Week

I’m a huge supporter of Boys to the Bush, a not-for-profit which is kicking goals in their mission to positively influence the lives of disengaged boys. They’re rapidly expanding their footprint, and now have an office at Bathurst to service the Central West. I caught up with local Program Coordinator Kurt Hancock to see how they’re going. Keep up the great work guys!

What a strange couple of weeks it has been! You most likely heard about the positive COVID-19 case at parliament late last month.

Unfortunately, I arrived for the day early at 7:45am, which meant that I was included in all the chaos! Members already in the building were not permitted to leave until further testing. I’ve now been tested twice and have quarantined as an extra precaution, as per health advice. It’s interesting, but not overly surprising, to note that Gladys Berejiklian who was also in the building managed to talk her way out of a quarantine period.

It was great to visit 2BS at Bathurst recently for an in-studio chat about Men’s Health Week.

I appreciated the opportunity to raise the profile of men’s health and ongoing issues which I intend on pursuing.

Men are notorious for neglecting their own health, and our own public health system is lacking in many areas of men-specific health, especially out here in the rural and regional areas.

World Leading Technology It’s amazing what’s going on in and around the electorate. Last month one of my senior staff members and I dropped in to see the boys at Bralca to find out about their stateof-the-art drone development and production. We are fortunate to have world-leading UAV technology in our backyard. Their product is capturing attention from across the world for its wide-ranging applications. Thanks for showing us around!

BUDGET 21/22 The NSW State Budget was delivered last month. There were lots of old re-hashed announcements, but a few new ones. Some of the big ticket items for the Orange electorate included:

3 3 3 3 3 3

$1,215,000 to complete upgrades to Bletchington PS. $28,000,000 towards the Parkes Special Activation Precinct. $60,000,000 towards construction of the Parkes Bypass $215,000 construction of shared 575m pathway at Eugowra. $85,000 shared 262m pathway at Forbes. $6,000,000 for Canowindra Health One facility - of which $500,000 was put his year towards that project.

3 $4,300,000 towards fast rail planning for Central West.

3 Other state-wide announcements of note include: free 2 day per week preschool for families; 2.5% legislated pay rise to public sector workers;

3 $100 learn to swim vouchers for kids; 3 Community Building Partnership Grants increasing $100,000 per year for next two years up to $400,000 per electorate; 25 child adolescent mental health squads across the state; continuation of the $250 Regional Seniors Travel Card for the next two years; $150,000,000 towards combating mouse plague.

3 Just over $9,000,000 was committed towards new and existing works for social housing, which is not enough considering the crises we are experiencing in so far as affordable and available social housing across the Orange electorate is concerned.

LET’S TALK MONEY with DANIEL McGREGOR

DOESN’T A FINANCIAL ADVISER JUST HELP RICH PEOPLE INVEST THEIR MONEY? and materials = poor outcome. Great planning and great materials = great result.

There are plenty of financial advisers who are only looking to find people with lots of money and then charge them high fees to manage that money for them. That’s a little at odds with most of the population who aren’t rich.

Fortunately, there are other financial advisers whose mission is to help those who aren’t yet wealthy to become wealthy, or those in or approaching retirement who need help getting things organised. It’s important to understand that, it’s not how much you earn that really matters, it’s what you do with what you earn, that will determine how wealthy you will be in life. Not to mention that "wealth" is a relative term. For me, becoming wealthy means getting to a point in life where you can stop working and afford to continue the lifestyle you enjoyed while working.

Sadly, most people will never achieve that and will retire much poorer than they should. It’s a huge price to pay for not having a financial plan. Just about everyone gets to a point when they realise they need to do something, it’s just that, for most people, that point comes too late.

Design and build your financial house from the ground-up and you’ll then enjoy the lifestyle that will provide.

Just as almost everyone would use an architect/draftsperson and a builder to design and construct a new home or renovation, a financial adviser and related experts can help you design and build the financial house that suits your needs and budget.

If you recognise that you are potentially not getting the most out of the money you work so hard for, then now’s the perfect time to explore how financial advice can help.

The role of your financial adviser is much more than simply investing.

Financial advice can help you: • Set and achieve your financial goals • Get your personal financial situation in order • Feel in control of your finances

• Avoid expensive mistakes • Make informed life-decisions • Protect you and your family financially Quality financial advice will educate you as part of the process. It will help you see the bigger picture, get clued- up on the strategies that you can take advantage of, and explain things in an easy-to-understand way.

Build your financial future as you would your dream home. Poor planning

Unfortunately, when it comes to financial planning, most people simply live in hope that things will just work out over time… hope is not a plan.

From July 1 this year, financial advisers must now disclose to their clients if they are not independent and explain why. Only two per cent of advisers in the country will be able to say they are independent and one of them is right here in Orange. So, if you value financial advice being independent, let’s have a chat about the financial house you’d like to design and build.

Cheers, Daniel

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

“Give me a home among the gumtrees with lots of plum trees.

A sheep or two and a kangaroo.

A clothesline out the back a verandah in the front And an old rocking chair.”

Song by John Williamson The idea of the little home among the trees sounds very romantic but, for the members of the Oral History group, there was little romance about the days before sewerage, hot running water, washing machines, refrigeration and air conditioning.

early married lives, women slaved over coppers and mangles and hung washing on wires strung across the yard and held up by clothes props.

Houses

Houses were pretty basic in our childhoods, often with a long hallway leading to the kitchen and living room with a bedroom on either side.

was a young teacher boarding in a small country town .

The bathroom, if it existed, was quite often on the back verandah and the bath was probably a tin tub which had to be filled with hot water by those who hoped to have a bath.

“Luckily I went first, followed by the children and, lastly, Mum and Dad had a turn.”

“When I was a child, we lived just out of Lithgow right underneath Hassan’s Walls,” said Mick, “there was no electricity and no running water. The kids’ job was to go down to the well, get the water to fill the 44 gallon drums in the yard where the women washed the clothes in a copper.”

The filling of the bath with hot water was a mammoth task and it was not surprising that, when water was in short supply, which was most of the time in some cases, the entire family took it in turns with the same bath water.

“There was only enough water for one bath”, she said.

For those of us fortunate enough to have enough water to have a bath all to ourselves, there was still the difficulty of heating it.

Sometimes this was done by boiling water in the copper and transferring it to the bath which could be a tricky and dangerous exercise.

Others endured the horrors of the chip bath heater which seemed to be always on the verge of blowing-up.

This was nothing, according to Rosemary, whose family were the proud owners of a kerosene bath heater which, she said, seemed to operate by a series of little explosions and was “absolutely terrifying.”

“I was youngest of six girls,” Pauline told us, “and I had the last use of the bath water. It wasn’t very clean by the time I got to it.”

Joan, who was nursing at Prince Alfred Hospital during the Second World War, remembers kerosine as being in great demand.

We gasped in horror at this, but her story was almost topped by Elma, who

“It was used a great deal for refrigerators and heaters and for the

28 JULY 8 — 14, 2021

lanterns the nurses used at night.

Everything was done by lantern light.

We refilled them last thing at night and would pick them up again the next night before going on duty”.

The unsewered toilet, or “long drop” as some in our group knew it, was the subject of more spirited discussion .

This obviously was a considerable distance from the house, often covered by honeysuckle vines and very likely to house snakes and spiders waiting for the unsuspecting occupant.

“We had heard that snakes were attracted to music,” said Pauline, “so my mother, who played the violin, would stand outside playing in an attempt to distract the snakes away from their lair.”

This uplifting vision of Pauline’s mother encouraged us to move away from the basics to a discussion of toilet paper which was mostly cut squares of newspaper hanging on a nail and John pointed-out that old phone books were also very popular.

Although the first washing machine was introduced by Thor in 1917, it was rare for anyone in our group to have one until at least the 1950s.

Consequently, in our childhoods and

Parents today have expressed anxiety about their children becoming addicted to their electronic devices in the solitude of their own rooms.

This, of course was not a problem in our youth when we not only had no such distraction, but it was rare to have one’s own room and we had often to share a bed with our siblings.

“Three of us shared a bed,” said Barbara. “The trouble was, it was a kapok mattress and, during the night, we would all slide down into the middle.”

When it came to preserving food people in those days had “drip safes” or Coolgardie safes as they were known .

As it’s name suggests, the safe was invented in the 1890s in Coolgardie and was simply a wire box draped in hessian through which water seeped.

It was usually placed in a draughty spot in the house as John remembered when his family lived in a very primitive house at one stage in his childhood.

But in thinking about the houses we lived in, it was not all doom and gloom.

Because we knew no better, we didn’t miss the modern conveniences we have today.

Wonderful memories were conjured-up of mealtimes around a big family table, of the laughter when we did all end-up in the middle of a sagging bed.

It was also wonderful to sit in front of a big open fire and gaze into the flames and dream great and impossible dreams.

They were, indeed, happy days.

The Council Game This week we asked the Mock Mayor and Mock Councillors to comment on this: Regional cities like Orange continue to grow in population and the pandemic has seen the rate of people moving to the regions increasing at a far more rapid rate than normal. Here in Orange, there are already concerns about our water supply capabilities, affordable accommodation is at a critical stage, homelessness is growing, as are mental health issues. Some of our community facilities, such as our Function Centre and Showground, are also well past their use-by date and, as our community ages, the demand on aged care facilities will continue

to grow. It’s probably also fair to say that, on average, more people will be unemployed as the way we do business and modern work practices change.

Of course, it’s not Council’s responsibility to solve all these issues, but the expectations on governments at all levels to help with many of these growing social and community issues, is inevitable.

What are your thoughts and what should our Council be doing now to ensure we have the infrastructure in place to address this faster-than-expected growth?

mock mayor

Amanda Spalding The sentence that draws my attention in this week’s topic is – ‘Of course, it’s not Council’s responsibility to solve all these issues, but the expectations on govern-ments at all levels to help with many of these growing social and community issues is inevitable’.

Council has a community leadership role in advocating with other levels of government to deliver on the local community’s priorities. After the September local government election, the Council will develop the Community Strategic Plan (CSP) on behalf of the local community.

It is important for the new Council to ensure it involves Hard-to-Reach groups in developing the CSP, and to achieve commitment from other levels of government in playing their part in delivering the community’s vision for Orange.

30 JULY 8 — 14, 2021

The starting point is to understand ‘where are we now?’ in developing a baseline for moving-forward that is evidence-based.

The results from the 2021 Census will not be available for a long-time, so we have to find evidence from elsewhere. A recent article in Government News lamented the fact that, big data is not being harnessed for infrastructure planning. One of the comments in the article was: ‘Access to social infrastructure such as schools, health services, leisure and recreation facilities is critical to community wellbeing in newly-developing areas.’

The Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association (ORRA) held a workshop in early March that was open to the public to discuss the future of Orange. We used the NSW Government’s population forecasts that estimated that the population of Orange would be 52,000 in 2041, which will be an increase of over a quarter from the 2016 population level. It seems we may be growing even faster than that.

The issue that most participants were

passionate about, was PLANNING. People want Orange to be well-planned, and for plans to be well-executed and that includes ensuring enough WATER for our growing population. People wanted to see better LEADERSHIP from the Council with "bigger picture" thinking and pursuing the bestpossible public value for residents and ratepayers. Best public value can be achieved by being clear about priorities.

One of our priorities, is to see the creation of jobs in a diversity of sectors with a particular emphasis on jobs for young people so that they can continue to live in Orange and bring-up their families here.

We were looking forward to talking about these important matters and listening to members of the community at the Solutions Summit that ORRA was going to hold on July 7. Sadly, this has now been postponed to August 4 because of COVID restrictions to meetings. We would love to hear your ideas before then at: orra2800@gmail.com or go to our Facebook page.

THE COUNCIL GAME

MOCK COUNCILLOR Steve Peterson

MOCK COUNCILLOR Frances Kinghorne

Population growth presents many challenges to Orange.

I think the most crucial challenge is water security.

How do we deal with the ramifications of a faster-thanexpected population increase in Orange?

Town water supplies have risen from 23 per cent of capacity to 80 per cent of capacity in a little over a year.

This has pushed water infrastructure issues out of mind.

However, the next drought is coming and when it arrives there will be thousands more people living in Orange who need water. The gestation period of dams and other water infrastructure is long. Council needs to act now to increase storage and lobby other levels of government to assist as needed. Doing this during the next drought will be too late. Local population growth will be necessary to address many of the other challenges facing Orange. We need workers who can provide services and ratepayers to afford infrastructure. They can only stay if they have water to drink. So, this challenge must be met in order to meet any of the others.

ORRA (Orange Residents and Ratepayers Association) held a summit earlier this year to attempt to discover what local people were concerned about. The number one issue was water security. We have had plenty of rain since then and our water supply is around 80 per cent of capacity. It would be logical to assume, however, that our consumption will be higher in future years, simply because there are more people here. We are prone to lengthy dry spells too, so it’s still a concern. Council has developed some novel systems to enhance our water supply, but we need to continue to find ways to achieve sustainable water security.

Population growth in of itself is a challenge that future councils will have to manage. I am keen that growth does not come at the expense of the people already here.

Council needs a special focus to ensure the current needs of Orange residents are met in addition to encouraging more people to move here.

On a different tack, can I suggest that in addition to the problems we currently know we have, the next council will need to manage problems not yet on the radar. For example, at the last council election no candidate was talking about their plans for dealing with coronavirus!

Orange will benefit from councillors who are problem solvers, who work well together, and who join council with a willingness to serve and without personal agendas. Then, they are best placed to address the city’s problems both known and unknown!

MOCK COUNCILLOR Greater Good Without a doubt, the infrastructure issue that has not yet been adequately addressed in Orange is our water security. Looking at the potential growth ahead in Orange, this has to be a must.

So far, we’ve got away with it, but given it’s been an issue year in, year out, forever, it really is high time we got it done.

We need to totally eliminate any threat of the possibility that Orange could run out of water. We’re just too big a City to ignore this any longer. Good sense demands that we have secure water insurance capabilities in place, even if we never have to use them.

There have been many suggestions for solutions to this, some extremely expensive, some not. I personally would like to see Orange risk a few million testing water bore options.

I know there are those out there who have great expertise in this field but like with so many things, Council staff don’t seem to want to listen to them or take a chance on them beingright. So, what, if we blow $2-3 million finding out if they’re right, at least we won’t die wondering and really….it wouldn’t be the first time a Council has blown a few million on a poor decision or paid what most of us think is way over the top prices for projects. The Naylor Pavillion toilet and kiosk add-on still has me scratching my head as my to why it cost several hundred thousand dollars and the cost for some of the roundabouts is just mind boggling. I’ll refrain from going into the cost of our (must surely now be) world-famous dunny.

Council must start thinking about what we’re going to need in the way of infrastructure now. It’s going to come along and bite us on the bum if they don’t think and plan ahead. Water security should be the first cab off the rank.

Housing, or lack thereof, is a huge issue in Orange at the moment. Buying a home, or renting one, is unaffordable for many people and it really worries me. We need to come-up with some novel systems for this as well or we will be seeing numerous locals, including families, with nowhere to live - a frightening prospect for anyone but even worse in an Orange winter. Do we need to adjust our planning practices to allow for more flexible density in housing, or should we be encouraging locals to share their homes or land? We definitely need to do something and do it soon.

Another issue raised at the ORRA summit, was the lack of a major family tourist attraction locally. We do wine and food well, but it would be nice to have something here for families too, otherwise people will simply drive through Orange rather than staying here.

Our Function Centre and Showground are a bit dated and, while it would be nice to have shiny new ones, it’s more important at this point to address the more fundamental concerns.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Daniel McGregor We have a housing problem in Orange!

In recent days, we’ve seen the Uniting Church in Anson Street making plans to put two caravans in their secure car-park as emergency accommodation. The ABC recently reported that “a perfect storm of booming tourism and a tightening real estate market has created a new class of homeless in regional NSW”, with people in Orange a focus of the story. Skilled professionals are sleeping in cars at night, with people posting messages on Facebook in the hope a stranger might have a room to rent in their home. Beyond that, people looking to buy a home, or to rent a home in Orange, are finding themselves priced-out of the market.

It’s a problem across the country and we can’t wait for state and federal governments to take action. We believe Council needs to step-up and get more involved.

We need to take control of the destiny of our City, and it is Council who should do that on behalf of the residents and ratepayers.

What sort of Orange do we want to live in? I’m confident there’d be few who wouldn’t agree that we want a place where people can be confident they can afford to have a roof over the heads of themselves and their families, whether it be in social housing, rental accommodation or buying their own home. We need a strategy that provides scope for all three.

Right now, you’d have to have your head well and truly in the sand to see that this is not currently the case.

Team ORRAnge (Orange Residents and Ratepayers

Association) is talking to people about the potential solutions for the issues we face here. We were going to hold a Solutions Summit on July 7, but have now postponed that to Wednesday, August 4 at the Orange Ex-Services Club.

We are a regional city that needs to think outside the square on lots of issues. Housing affordability is just one on that list.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Lesley Smith Those of you who have visited my websitelesleysmithfororange.wixsite.com/website - or my instagram - lesleysmith.fororange - will be aware that this week's discussion topic was a motivating factor for me to nominate for council.

The scaffolding of my platform Preserve Orange is to ensure; i. infrastructure for the future that is innovative, imaginative and intelligent. i. Creating a road-map for enduring jobs and wealth; this includes planning for a growing population.

In previous Mock Council responses, I have emphasised the importance of a council which is proactive in anticipating shifts in our regional demographic profile and planning to accommodate and provide the essential services required to support prosperity in an informed and responsible manner. Infrastructure must come before before uncontrolled land development.

July marks the 75th anniversary of local government and 175 years of Orange Region; these milestones also signal that, as a regional community, we are at a crossroads.

Before nominating for council, I spent some time thinking about what would I bring to the table and, consequently believe I have the right mix of skills and experience to make a difference – my commitment to preserving the best of Orange is genuine.

It would be gratifying if I was convincing enough to instil confidence in you as to my worthiness and capability as a candidate who believes every sector of the community deserves to be heard and represented.

What is equally important to me, is that our community is mindful that our region is at a crossroads and this next election is an important one and will be significant in determining our future direction and economic and environmental prosperity.

I would like to encourage everyone to make their vote count in securing a vision for our town where we can preserve the best of the region while supporting prosperity in a planned and informed manner that benefits everyone.

Preserve Orange – make your vote count. Lets get it right.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Pot Stirrer Anyone who doesn’t think that the demands on government are going to progressively escalate over coming years, has rocks in their head. That will include local government.

We’re becoming a society of people who now regard paying our own way as a thing of the past. The modern expectation is that, when things get tough, we look to governments to bail us out. The pandemic has shown us this in no uncertain terms on a national level and here locally, more and more people and organisations are wanting the local Council to fund them to some extent, take the wood bank as just one example, and offering

JULY 8 — 14, 2021 31

THE COUNCIL GAME

wealthy CBD property owners incentives to do up their buildings, is another.

Of course, we pay taxes or rates, and the expectation is that this entitles us to such help when things get tough or go wrong. Sadly, there’s a limit to the big honeypot and sooner or later, we’ll all come to realise that.

It’s not a palatable thought, but given this trend is not going to change anytime soon, it’s inevitable taxes and rates will have to go up. It really is a case of we can’t have our cake and eat it too.

Councils of the future are going to be faced with some tough and unpopular decisions, so get ready for it folks.

Unless the number of people in paid employment goes up and stays up, more and more people will need help in one form or another. We call that welfare, and whether it’s providing wood for people who can’t afford it, supporting local charities who feed homeless people or provide other help, the demand for such financial help is on the rise.

So, what’s the way forward for a place like Orange? It’s the same as for everywhere - jobs!

A growing Orange will need a progressive Council with a keen eye for building the necessary infrastructure to meet the faster than normal population growth. BUT, at the same time, job creation is a vital parallel challenge.

A huge focus on infrastructure with a dedicated jobs creation strategy running at the same time will help set Orange up for the huge challenges ahead. Think job creation first, then infrastructure. More Council owned and run businesses is one option, but that’s an issue for another day.

MOCK COUNCILLOR Eunice Adetifa The Regional Movers Index published by the Regional Australia Institute on June 28, 2021 showed population flows from capital cities to regional areas growing over the last year. The Orange Local Government Area (LGA) came 40th (in Australian LGAs with movement of more than 100 people) in the year to March 2021, showing a 23 per cent increase from the previous year.

32 JULY 8 — 14, 2021

MOCK COUNCILLOR Gerald Power

One of the main issues that Team ORRAnge has identified, is the apparent lack of planning by the NSW Government for new schools in Orange as the 2016 Census showed large increases in the age groups: 0 to 4

19.2% increase 2011 - 2016

5 to 9

11.1% increase 2011 - 2016

25 to 29

29.4% increase 2011 – 2016

My thoughts

30 to 34

18.7% increase 2011 – 2016

I don’t have the editorial space to cover all points – for example: water, homelessness, upgrading facilities, community social needs and welfare, and aged care, to name just a few that any population growth can be a challenge. So, I will cover two points

This suggests that there will continue to be a rapid increase in the demand for school places, and it appears that the NSW Government is not doing anything about this.

Families like mine are coming to live in Orange for a variety of reasons, but sending our children to junior schools with over 1000 pupils, is probably not amongst them!!

Looking at the Orange Community Strategic Plan 2017/2020, one of the issues raised in community engagement was the possibility of a new school to cater for the growing need of the local community. ORRA is writing to the NSW Government to seek their plans for building new schools to accommodate our growing population and we would also like to see different types of educational facilities to meet different needs. Team ORRAnge believes that fundamental to a good society is access to education, no matter where you live.

We understand that risk-management, cost, and community factors, can often make it difficult to achieve the more ideal play outcomes in our community. We have seen Pee Wees and other private sector play opportunities close down in Orange. This had a negative impact on our youth and younger children. Even mothers with little kids had an outcry about the closure.

Team ORRAnge wants to see better playgrounds including adventure playgrounds and a multi-purpose Youth Centre and other necessary social infrastructure for a growing population. That does not mean Council has to provide them. We know that balancing the needs of a growing population with pursuing the best possible public value for residents and ratepayers won’t be easy, but we are looking forward to the challenge.

First Point- Affordable housing.

How do we position Orange and the villages of Lucknow, Spring Hill and others within our LGA? I call it: spreading the load across the whole Orange LGA within 15 minutes of travel of Orange CBD. Support our Villages • Orange City Council promoting village life style within a 15 minutes to Orange trip.

• Support in upgrading sporting facilities in the villages • Support Upgrading parks and gardens for families • Support more RV parking spaces • More village food markets Second Point To provide a community that has services supporting our population now, and expected growth, is dependant upon the three-layers of government working together in a seamless working relationship, Local, State and Federal.

My thoughts: More frequent meetings for the three layers of government • Local Government - More frequent consultation with community that provides information to OCC Social Plan.

Key: This Social plan would reflect the needs of Orange and villages and shared with State and Federal members to advocate for funding of services alike The above are some very simple ideas to start with.

Jukebox

with Bloomers

Join Rod Bloomfield for the “Jukebox Show” on Radio 2EL 1089am Monday to Friday between 12 and 3pm.

Ross Wilson Always Cool...

There are times when having an iconic song can draw attention away from how good a band is.

Feeling that “Daddy Cool” wasn’t musically “serious” enough, Wilson and Hannaford formed “The Mighty Kong.”

It was a band that would keep him busy, and successful for the following 15 years.

“Daddy Cool” is one of those bands!

Ok, so brilliant, but apparently not “serious!”

Yep, “Eagle Rock” is about as big an Australian hit you’ll find, but “Daddy Cool” had so many really good songs.

There was also a “Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention” influenced-band called “Sons of the Vegetal Mother.”

The roster of players that were part of “Mondo Rock” reads like a who’s who of Australian recording and performing.

Although Ross Wilson was the driving force behind that superb blues and do-wop outfit, having the talents of Ross Hannaford on guitar and as co–vocalist was pretty handy.

That influence really came to the fore at the point at which my own real appreciation of Ross Wilson hit.

Like so many of the very best singers, a young Ross Wilson was in a church choir where he stood-out. It taught him the art of singing harmony which was knowledge he employed brilliantly in “Daddy Cool.”

Okay, so put aside “Eagle Rock” (which has since been voted Australia’s second best single ever behind “The Easybeats” “Friday on my Mind”) for the moment, listen instead to “Bom Bom,” “Come Back Again,” “Hi Honey Ho,” or their cover version of “The Rays” song “Daddy Cool.” (Although often reported that the song inspired the band name, it should be noted that Ross Wilson says the band was named before he new the song existed.)

Better still, grab one of the “Daddy Cool” compilation LP’s that have been released over the years.

I’d be really surprised if the verdict was that any of the songs they wrote, or covered, were sub-par. Now that is something, because we have all had “Greatest Hits” albums in our collection that are as much filler as they are genuinely good songs.

But NOT “Daddy Cool.”

The band only stayed together for a couple of years, but both Ross Wilson and Ross Hannaford had made their mark in Australian music.

Although loved by audiences, three tours of the US unfortunately didn’t lead to chart recognition there.

Wilson said taking a blues/doo-wop band to America, was like taking coals to Newcastle.

34 JULY 8 — 14, 2021

It was 1974 and, after “Daddy Cool” had been part of the legendary Sunbury Music Festival, Wilson moved into producing.

The band he was hired to produce was “Skyhooks.” The album was “Living in the 70’s.”

With the Frank Zappa influence already built-in to both Ross Wilson and “Skyhooks” song-writing genius, Greg Macainish, the album borrows heavily from their musical hero.

Wilson stayed on board to produce two more “Skyhooks” LP’s as well as albums for Jo Camilleri’s incredible “Jo Jo Zep and the Falcons.” After a couple of years in the producer’s chair, Wilson formed “Mondo Rock.”

Having moved on from “Daddy Cool,” Ross Wilson was looking to go solo and had recorded and produced songs for a movie called “Oz.” He wanted a band name to use in promotion of what was his first solo works, and that name was “Mondo Rock.”

Most importantly though, was the inclusion of Eric McCusker, whose song-writing ability was the equal of Wilson’s.

By 1980, “Mondo Rock” had gained national attention and Ross Wilson was back in the charts.

Over the the next seven years there were five studio albums and one hit single after the next.

Although “Come Said the Boy” out of 1983 stands-out in terms of chart success, I think “Cool World” sits next to it as favorites of mine.

The first hit for “Mondo Rock” was “State of the Heart,” which was a cleverly-crafted pop ballad, with the song “Chemistry” and “Summer of ‘81” following quickly after.

Before “Mondo Rock” officially ceased to be in the early 90’s, Ross Wilson had turned to solo work, with a big hit called “Bed of Nails” becoming a solid hit.

Okay, so that is the outline of Ross Wilson’s career and it’s pretty impressive, right?

But what does the bloke really mean to Australian rock?

Where does he fit? The answer is, right at the very top!!!!

The names associated with him that I have already mentioned are impressive enough, but there were plenty more.

As a fan of Australian music, I can’t imagine what our industry would have been like in its heyday without him!

There would be a massive hole and the “Australian sound” that he was part of creating - it would have been different. Not necessarily less than it was, but different.

I’m glad Ross Wilson has been there for the last 40 years and may he stay around for many years to come.

ORANGE EX-SERVICES CLUB HAS THEIR OWN

MasterChef-style COMPETITION

Apprentice chefs at Orange Ex-Services Club are going head-tohead against each other to settle, once and for all, who has the most popular dish at the Diggers restaurant.

Each apprentice has the opportunity to develop their own week-long exclusive dish for the Diggers menu, having free range to get creative and challenge themselves in expanding their culinary knowledge, experiencing the process of creating a dish from conception to its delivery.

Danny Evans, Executive Chef of Orange Ex-Services Club (OESC) knows all too well the pressures and the rigmarole of the lifestyle this profession throws at apprentices. “The journey for an aspiring culinary apprentice is not just stressful and tiresome, but vigorous. Long days and nights sweating amongst the heat in controlled chaos shines optimism in the hope of becoming a renowned chef aspiring to share a piece of art on a plate. Our aim is to allow our apprentices to learn and shine. Our future is in their hands,” Danny states.

For any diners interested in getting involved, it’s as simple as ordering one of the apprentices’ dishes, grab a feedback form, score the dish out of five-stars, and place it in the barrel located in Diggers.

“It’s been well-received, it’s fun for the diners too, it’s like a mini-

MasterChef experience and they get to be a part of it, that’s really exciting for the diners and the feedback has been really positive.

"We’re hiring another five apprentices. We really want OESC to be a training hub for the Central West, and the competition is all part of that program,” Danny said.

One of the chef apprentices, Reba Scott explained, “The competition gives us a chance to present a variety of our own ideas forward. It gives us an opportunity to test our skills that we’ve been learning at TAFE NSW into action within a professional setting.

"Also, it is a great way for us to be able to listen to the diners in what they want on the menu. I know some apprentices have asked diners already, and have incorporated that feedback into what they’re doing.”

“With the five apprentices we have here at OESC including myself, we have a little friendly banter between us all. Such as, 'I’m going to beat you' and other comradery comments. It’s good to have a competition like this for everyone in the kitchen,” Reba says gleefully.

For the victorious apprentice, they’ll win a gift card valued at $250, where they’ll be able to spend throughout the community to their liking.

Juniors from Pinnacle Dragons Orange take home silver trophy

Chris Jose and the junior team of Pinnacle Dragons.

When the NSW Dragon Boat Championships were canceled due to significant floods that ravaged many communities back in March, this included the competition venue for where the boating championships were to take place in Penrith.

Quite naturally, this saw the event postponed for several months. With the championships finally coming to fruition on the weekend of June 19-20, the Pinnacle Dragons Orange Boat Club traveled down to the Sydney International Regatta Centre.

Luckily for our local club, the wait was certainly worthwhile for the junior division who took out the Silver Trophy

38 JULY 8 — 14, 2021

Rod Dickson and the senior team of Pinnacle Dragons.

competing in a trilogy of grueling 500-metre races against some of the top teams that the State has to offer.

The achievement was solidified in a combined venture, with teammates deriving from St Scholastica’s School, and competing together united with our local boaters in the Junior Mixed 10s category.

Their collective efforts to secure the Silver Trophy, definitely made the trip down to Sydney even more meaningful for our junior boaters.

In the Mixed Premier and Open races (all 500-metres),

seniors from Pinnacle Dragons faced much tougher competitors from stronger metropolitan and coastal clubs.

Even though they held their own against the more powerful teams, unfortunately, our local club could not secure any podium positions in these races.

Nonetheless, the Pinnacle Dragons stated the weekend championships were a great couple of days of competition and they’re proud of everyone’s efforts.

THUMBS UP to Bob Holland for all he has done for Orange. All the best for your “retirement”, Bob!

THUMBS UP to Sherry and Kristy at Prouds of Orange.

Always a fun shopping experience – thank you.

THUMBS DOWN to the whingers over the free wood.

My rates go towards that and I, like many others, never had any say about it at all. No one pays anything towards my gas heating. I applaud the editor for his comments about those people wanting more free wood. By the way, I am an 88-yearold pensioner paying my own way.

THUMBS DOWN to the man who failed to properly secure his staffie cross onto his tray top on Sunday. The vicious dog slipped its collar and raced 100m to attack my rescue greyhound. It latched onto its leg, cutting close to the artery. The owner was unable to call the dog off. We released our dog so that it could run away, and the dog chased her for 400m back to our house. Our poor dog required hospitalisation for most of Sunday and a vet bill of $420.

There were also little children playing on the netball courts.

Luckily, it only had eyes for our dog. The owner left the scene and drove away. This dog is a danger to the community.

THUMBS DOWN to the person who put all their used cigarettes in my red bin. Now my bin smells like disgusting tobacco from your laziness and your disgusting habit.

THUMBS DOWN to P-platers who drive far too close to other cars and go over the speed limit.

THUMBS DOWN to people who join community groups but believe they can publicly comment and insult people even when they don’t know all the laws and local council requirements.

THUMBS UP to the friendly and tall girl at Perry Oval.

THUMBS UP to Council! Council does a lot of things that we often don’t realise. We snapped this pic of a staffer topping up the play area in the playground at Elephant Park.

THUMBS DOWN It seems that present Mayor is concerned that people without experience on Council are standing for election. Well Mayor, as far as I know, one gains experience by actually doing the job. If there is another way, I would love to know about it!

THUMBS UP to everyone wearing masks and following COVID restrictions, but Thumbs Down to the increased rubbish from all those masks and the packaging.

THUMBS DOWN to people who drive around with only one head light working. It is particularly dangerous if it is the right-hand side light that is not working as it would appear to be a motor-cycle coming towards you instead of a car. This is particularly difficult in wet or foggy weather. Why are these vehicles still being driven at night?

THUMBS UP to the owners and workers at Kings Takeaway. On Friday evening, I waited for dinner and my car battery died. Without hesitation, they brought their car around the front, waited with me until I had jumpers leads, and even offered to give me money back for the leads I had to buy. I am so incredibly thankful and it’s so lovely to know there’s people around who still lend a hand to a very stressed young woman. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Plus they have the best takeaway in town!

THUMBS UP to the staff member at The Mill Café for the helpful, patient, and non-judgemental manner in which she helped two customers with the QR code during a busy lunchtime.

THUMBS DOWN to the medical specialist I paid to see in February for some tests. They were meant to call back when they had the results. When I didn’t hear, I started chasing them up. Eventually, they rang me back on March 5. A later check of my Medicare records shows they charged Medicare $125 for that call. I was told I’d need another scan, but missing paperwork means that hasn’t happened yet. I am still waiting for someone to get back to me. In the meantime, I have spent two separate days in emergency at the hospital and been prescribed heavy duty painkillers. This is at least providing some relief.
