BOBELDYKS FAREWELL FURNITURE After 55 years of serving Orange

A

“The customer is always right” has been Bobeldyk’s central business philosophy – and not just a catchy slogan – since 1966. n Orange business institution for decades, the local furniture store is closing for good after 55 fine years serving the Central Tablelands.

Family members are heading off for their well-earned retirement with their Furniture One store putting up the shutters sometime around late November.

Arthur Bobeldyk’s proudest achievement though, is being part of a family business that has been synonymous with customer service since the start of decimal currency.

“That is part of my role in the business. If people have had a concern, I sorted it out.

“We always sorted it out, so that the customer was happy,” he said. “All stock was checked before leaving the store in order to minimise concerns.”

Hennie and Lynda were always dealing with the customers on the floor, assisting them with choice of styles, comfort, fabrics, and colours to suit their décor.

The family are unique in the fact of being able to work together as a team, each contributing their own skills and expertise, to service customers.

The youngest of three sons, Arthur started in the business when flared jeans and Torana cars were still in fashion, but is now looking forward to travelling, fishing, and doing some work around the house.

“We’re all retiring and closing the shop. I entered the business in 1978 after leaving school,” Arthur said.

After considering enlisting in the Air Force or Navy, he began working for his parents John and Henny and found he had quite a natural affinity for the work.

2 OCTOBER 28 — NOVEMBER 3, 2021

“I sort of grew up in the business... it’s like a family farm, part of who you are, and a bit of a love/hate relationship sometimes,” he laughs.

The Bobeldyks are one of those post-war migrant success stories – families looking for a new life in a new land through hard work and vision – contributing so much to cities like Orange.

“It all started when my parents John and Henny came to Australia, to the migrant Camp at Bathurst, from Holland in 1951 with my two older brothers (Willem and Bastiaan),” Arthur said.

Arthur’s father, a baker by trade, found work at Wagga Wagga before trying his hand at manual labour in Grafton in northern NSW. “But my father couldn’t stand the heat and humidity, and then he met someone from Orange who had an orchardist friend in Orange looking for an orchard hand.

“This man organised the job with his friend, but didn’t mention any children though, and my parents arrived, with two sons in sailor suits!” Arthur said.

The local orchardist, Harold Hawke on the Canobolas Road, couldn’t say “no” after they had travelled so far for a new beginning, with Arthur believing that this act of kindness was partprovidence.

“I’m a firm believer that God has had his hand in the destiny of all of us...

My father worked on the orchard for a few years, and then a bakery came up for sale at Spring Hill. Dad got a loan and they were able to buy that, and they were there for nine years,” he explained.

They eventually sold the bakery and moved to Orange where his father worked for Smeaton & Campbell bakery

in Kite Street.

Arthur’s elder brother Willem was tragically killed in a motor car accident near Wallerawang on the 1st of November 1964 at the age of 19-and-ahalf years.

“Dad was tired of the bakery, the long hours and early starts, and then an opportunity came up to buy the Orange Disposal Store selling second-hand furniture... The store was on the corner of Anson and Byng Streets opposite the old Town Hall,” Arthur said.

“Dad loved it! He loved the secondhand business, and my mother Henny was a born saleswoman.”

The unexpected nature of the work and its variety was part of its fascination, Arthur believes.

“The thing about the second-hand business is, you never know what was coming into the shop. As a kid growing up, I was always changing bikes as better ones came in. I remember a Speedwell ‘Fireball’ was one of my bikes,” Arthur recalls.

His parents then changed the name of the business to Orange Bargain Centre before moving to their purpose-built “shop with the round window” in Byng Street in 1975. Eventually they moved to the current Endsleigh Avenue premises in 2000.

John and Henny retired in the 1980s.

The business continued with Baz and his wife Dell along with Arthur and his wife Lynda.

“In 2001, we joined the Furniture One buying group, this changed the business in a very positive way. We had better purchasing power and access to better quality products,” Arthur said.

The year 2007 saw a change when Baz and Dell retired, and his sister

Hennie and her husband Graham became partners in the business.

Now, he says, is the time to say goodbye to this family-owned Colour City institution.

“When I left school, my brother Baz was already working here... I’ve been lugging furniture since school and I’m 62 and Graham is 66 next year,” Arthur said.

“I’ve seen it too many times, people put off retirement, but they have less time than they think... we had a funeral home for a time, and you see the other side of life in that work,” he said.

Both couples are therefore looking to keep busy in the years ahead: “I’ve got a lot of things to do at home. Lynda and I also have a caravan and we enjoy traveling and fishing...

“I’m blessed that my wife loves fishing, it’s normally the husband dragging the wife along!” Arthur laughed.

Hennie and Graham are venturing out with their own training business.

Their intention is to help businesses by giving retail staff the skills and product knowledge needed to give customers the best possible service in their store.

But he admits that he and his family will miss the business that has been such a central part of their lives for so long.

“We’re synonymous with furniture.

Baz and I were once called the ‘Furniture Barons of Orange’. We’ve built up relationships and it’s not just a business, we look after people.

“The number of people we’ve seen over the years – parents, kids, grandkids – we’ve always tried to look after people.

“It’s more than just buying or selling,” Arthur concluded.

It may be just a feeling, but there’s a sense in the Colour City that there’s good times just around the corner!

The gradual easing of restrictions, the mood that the worst of the pandemic is behind us, the onset of a beautiful, mild spring, it just seems like things are starting to come together.

Barely a shop in town doesn’t have a “staff wanted” notice in the window, and there are more jobs than there are people to fill them.

One of the problems we seem to be facing though, is that “stopping” an economy is far easier than starting it again, and it may take some time before the distortions caused by a once-in-a-century pandemic wash through our society.

“Life goes on” is the truth that holds for all times and all situations, however. And people in our fair city are certainly not wasting time getting on with their lives in what is now a post-lockdown recovery.

Cathy’s dream offered first showings FOR LOCAL ARTISTS — DAVID DIXON —

Ever dreamed that you could make it as an artist — if you just had that one break?

S

ay, your first ever exhibition, at which you sold half a dozen of your works to people that actually wanted to have your paintings in their homes?

Cathy Dorin has been making those dreams come true over five years for dozens of local painters, sculptors, drawers, jewellery markers, and artisans at her May Raechelle Art Gallery in Millthorpe’s main street.

Putting on her last show now until she finally closes early next year, her eyes shine as she recalls the thrill that her little shop has given so many people.

“I love it when an artist comes in who is not that confident, and you’ve sold a dozen of their works, and they say ‘thank you’ and I say, ‘It was you, it wasn’t me!’

“I don’t charge for exhibitions and a commission sale is my greatest thrill,” Cathy says.

While she was entitled to some government assistance during the lockdowns, her concerns were more for the artists who simply couldn’t exhibit.

“We certainly haven’t had the business since Sydney has been closed off. People who are travelling are often the best customers because they come looking for things to buy,” she explained.

“We had enough money put aside to keep going, so it wasn’t that. It was that we were unable to exhibit other people’s works,” Cathy said.

Money was never Cathy’s motivation in running the gallery, deciding to open after seeing small, familyowned galleries overseas.

“One of my favourite loves is art appreciation. When I travelled around the world, I saw these beautiful little galleries in villages just like this one,” she said.

“I always wanted to exhibit local art for local people...

I don’t charge for exhibition costs, and only charge 20 per cent commissions to put on a little exhibition.

There’s so much talent in the local area,” she said.

One of her favourite creative people is a local artist who, after suffering a stroke, retrained herself in point-painting with picture-perfect images created out of a series of joined dot-points.

“It allows these artists to gain confidence and get a little profile. When you tell them at the end that you’ve sold half their works, they’re amazingly grateful,” she added.

“She was a reasonably well-known artist doing farm images, that sort of thing, but now she has these tremors, she has turned to ‘pointillism’ as a pencil artist,” Cathy said.

Cathy’s last and latest exhibit is of the paintings of Maxine Chapman from Blayney.

“The amazing thing is, she had to change the way she did her art, and yet still produced beautiful works.”

“Maxine will also be the final artist to exhibit with May Raechelle Art Gallery in Millthorpe, as we close our doors in February 2022.

“It is fitting that we finish with Maxine, as she was one of the first local artists to exhibit with us at the beginning of our local art journey way back in 2017,” Cathy said.

Another local artist who had never displayed before, took nearly a month to build up the courage to even ask if she could display her works.

“She was that shy, she walked past our shop for three or four weeks before asking if we would show her works,” Cathy said.

Maxine, Cathy says, brings “lively colour to our walls with her bright and vivid acrylic paintings”.

“It’s about finding that extra step to make people feel good about themselves,” she added.

“Birds and bovines are the most popular among her works and she will be exhibiting those and many more snippets from her imagination.”

“I guess I just like to encourage people, it gives you a good feeling to help other people feel good,” she added.

Maxine, she added, has lived in the local area most of her life and gets inspiration from the rural setting. “I love nature and I love to paint nature,” Maxine said.

Cathy, though, has to say goodbye to her little gallery on Pym Street with the old fibro-andweatherboard building up for redevelopment.

“Now that I’ve retired from work I have so much more time just to sit outside and watch nature happen around me. It’s moving me to do more art, so I’m busier now than when I was working!” she added.

With a background in government administration, Cathy doesn’t have any particular plans for what she and her husband will do once the curtains come down.

But fine art is only one area in which Cathy helps locals sell their works. Other eclectic items in her gallery include ceramics, line drawings, watercolours, jewellery, and artisanal creations.

“I don’t know, it’s like the universe is telling me, I shouldn’t be in an art gallery,” she said ruefully.

“I’m just waiting for the universe to now tell me what to do next,” Cathy concluded.

Cathy’s last exhibition begins on Thursday, November 4, and will run until the end of 2021 at May Raechelle Art Gallery, Millthorpe.

LIFE IS LOCAL, AND EXPERIENCE COUNTS —

candidate Neil says Now, more than ever, life is local, Neil Jones believes.

T

he two-time former Orange City councillor recently threw his hat in the ring as the Greens lead candidate for the elected mayor’s position in the December 4 Local Government poll.

He argues that the profound changes that the pandemic have wrought on our society have created a back-to-base perspective with people far more interested in their local communities due to travel restrictions and lockdowns.

“The ability to replace regional, interstate and even overseas travel with a range of local travel experiences has made us appreciate what our own backyard has to offer,” he explained.

“Lockdown and the pandemic have certainly resulted in lifestyle changes and adaptations both within the home environment and, perhaps more importantly, from a Council perspective,” he added.

People during these anxious times, he believes, have turned to local services to stay connected.

“Support services and mechanisms from within the community come to the fore during a crisis such as the pandemic.

“Local help that we may not even know exists and is perhaps sometimes undervalued, meets the needs of many vulnerable people during such stressful times,” he added.

As well as looking local, people are also focussing on quality-of-life issues that are one of the areas that local councils play an essential role in the life of a community.

These, he said, include “opportunities within our city for physical and mental health wellbeing, that comes with access to parks and gardens, large public open

8 OCTOBER 28 — NOVEMBER 3, 2021

spaces, and walking and bicycle pathways”.

He also believes that the role of the mayor, a ratepayer-elected position, rather than an annual vote of the councillors as was the case last time he was on Council, now plays a crucial leadership role in the community.

The role of elected mayor, he believes, requires “a focus on consultation, cooperation and transparency, and a respect for the views of all members of our community, together with a vision for the future of Orange”.

“The mayor must have a vision for the future of our city in a dramatically changing world and be willing to embrace strategies to deliver change with community support,” he said.

“Our city needs leadership that embraces the qualities of empathy, understanding, integrity, honesty, and accountability.”

With calls for new blood on Council, he instead believes that his time on Council from 2008 until 2017 has provided him with the experience to effectively play a key leadership role on the new Council.

“Nine years on Council teaches you many things about how to work with a very diverse group of fellow councillors, Council staff, and sometimes, very demanding members of the public.

“While taking on the role of Mayor builds on the experiences of nine years as a Councillor, it will require a focus on team-building and leading by example to ensure all councillors – particularly new councillors – work together and contribute their own knowledge and experiences to the benefit of their role as a councillor.”

Neil arrived in Orange in 1977, starting as a lecturer at

the Orange Agricultural College as he made the Colour City his home.

This was the start of a 40-year career in agricultural and horticultural management education involving leadership roles as Senior Lecturer and Head of the Department of Horticulture at the University of Sydney, Orange, and State Curriculum Manager of Horticulture for NSW TAFE. He and his wife also raised three children in the city, immersing themselves in a range of the local community groups including school P&Cs, the Mt Canobolas Park Trust, Orange RSPCA, Friends of the Orange Regional Museum, and the Orange Botanic Gardens, and more recently, the Orange Rail Action Group and Ploughmans Wetlands Care Group.

With calls for a new broom to be put through the current Council and suggestions that new leadership is needed at the top, Neil says that he can provide the guidance and support for a new Council team.

“I would be in the position as Mayor to offer firsttime Councillors the support and mentoring that will be critical to the success of Orange City Council going forward, as part of a team of both new and experienced Councillors.”

With crowded city living no longer as attractive a prosect that it may have seemed a decade ago, the Colour City, he argues, has a bright future that requires visionary leaders to take the best advantage of.

“We are moving into an exciting period of growth in Orange which must be supported by a team of forward-thinking and visionary Councillors. I am looking forward to leading this team,” Neil concluded.

y a D y M , b o J My with DYLAN WRIGHT

— SAMUEL RODWELL —

Orange City Life had the opportunity to sit down with Dylan Wright about his role within the community.

How did you end up working in community and what is your role?

What does your typical working day look like?

My role currently is the Aboriginal Community Liaison Officer. I work for the Police but I’m there for the Aboriginal community.

Every day is different – every day is new.

It varies, which is good. Anywhere from visiting schools, touching base with kids, families and community, but I do have a set schedule.

How I got into community was through my dad. When I was growing up, he was in community and everyone knew who my dad was.

I had such great respect for what he was doing and what it meant to the community.

It was the same with my Pop too. I thought I’d like to aspire and obtain that level of positive impact one day.

I was in the Army previously, and I always wanted to come back, fit in and assist wherever I can within the community. That was my push to get into community and lead by positive example just like my Dad and Pop. In terms of my role, it’s about having that balance where I’m there for the Police, but more importantly, I’m there for the Aboriginal community of Orange.

The role itself can vary most days, it’s quite a broad job. Lately I’ve been helping out with the COVID vaccinations. Working with the local Aboriginal medical service and helping out at the DPI health clinic, touching base with community and trying to keep the positive rapport of getting vaccinated.

For instance, I do programs in the morning where we may assist with Clontarf at Canobolas High School, to playing some sport with the boys and getting a feed.

Such as, on Wednesdays we are linked up with PCYC for Fit For Life, which is a program run by both the Police and PCYC collectively. We get the kids from home, their ages are varied from 5 to 13 years, and we do personal training sessions, have some breakfast and take them to school afterwards.

Another program is Ngurang-gu Yalbilinya program where young lads who are disengaged in school, they come to learn culture and there’s an education system in place where the two are blended into one.

Each day can be so different, and it depends what’s happening in the community and the types of programs that are running and how I can fit in and help throughout.

What do you love most about your job?

I love being out and about in the community every day where it’s always

As part of my job, communication is key, I love yarning to people. Making connections and being connected to community, I really enjoy that aspect.

What’s your favourite place to go to in Orange?

A lot of my mates would know this, but I

love going to the cinemas, that’s my go-to place. You get to turn off when you’re at the movies and there’s no worries. Whatever you’ve got going on, you can just leave it outside.

When I’m in the cinemas kicking back, I’ve got my large Pepsi Max, my popcorn, pack of M&Ms, it’s just great. With COVID, when the movies were getting pushed back, it has devastated me.

Robertson Park to feature local concert series by

Future Tunes

— SAMUEL RODWELL — This Friday, October 29, Robertson Park will host a bumper line-up of artists with the return of Future Tunes outdoor live music performances concert series.

From October onwards to March 2022, five concerts will be held on the last Friday of every month.

The popular free event is designed to offer local performers a paid gig, with Orange residents being invited to come together in a relaxed, casual setting and listen to some great live music.

The first concert will feature appearances by Stanford & Co, Darren Smith, Redwing Kite, Fig Jam, James Sutherland, Nerida Cuddy, Three Eyed Monks, Hip Replacements, Leon Just,

Felix Albert and the Gentlemanly Two. “I hope the weather is kind to us.

There is some wonderful local talent in Orange, and this is their opportunity to showcase that and to give the people the opportunity to enjoy what they do really well,” said Tony Mileto, Orange City Council’s Employment and Economic Development Committee Chair.

Musician Darren Smith is also looking forward to the first concert. “It’s fantastic of Orange City Council and Future Tunes to be promoting this event on Friday. We’re looking forward to playing, very much. It’s great that musicians have got an opportunity to come back out and play live music. It’s great,” he said.

But there’s more than music on offer – food and drinks can be purchased from stallholders throughout the park while enjoying the live music, with the incentive for attendees to enjoy Orange’s hospitality venues afterwards.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, all guests must have a pre-ordered ticket.

Free bookings can be obtained at Orange Civic Theatre’s box office and www.ticketek.com.au.

Gates will open at 4.30pm, with the first performance kicking off at 5pm.

Guests are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket, rug or small foldable chair to sit on.

Each artist will perform for about 20 to 25 minutes and, due to the number

of performers, this month’s event will finish later than previous concerts, at around 9pm.

Future Tunes began in 2020 as part of the FutureCity plan to bring more people into the city centre to boost the CBD economy, as well as supporting local musicians and hospitality businesses hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Orange Mayor Reg Kidd is another who is glad to see the return of Future Tunes. “They loved it last year. We’ve got some incredible talent – we don’t know the depth of it actually. This is a great opportunity to showcase their talents in a friendly environment, going from sunset to dark. It will be a nice, fuzzy feeling,” Cr Kidd said.

On behalf of all at Kinross Wolaroi School we wish our Year 12 students all the very best for their HSC exams.

illthorpe’s famous home garden visitor event, normally held in the first week of November, may be off, but don’t give the historic village a miss, they say.

For the second year in a row the historic community has had to cancel its famous garden showing, with the village still looking to return to its tourism glory days pre-COVID-19.

Two disappointing years of missed events hasn’t dampened the enthusiasm of the Millthorpe Garden Ramble organisers.

“The people who were in the cancelled 2020 event were invited to be in this year’s event and asked if they’d like to do it again,” she said.

“But for some of them, their situation has changed, they’ve sold their properties, moved.

“Next year will be our 18th year, we’ve been running since 2005 and Millthorpe was one of the first.

Continued restrictions of visitors outside the region saw the cancellation of what would have been its 17th event, with the group turning to a virtual garden tour to salve garden-lovers’ disappointment.

“We’re such a garden centre here, we’ve had a total of 110 different gardens in the event since we started... a huge number of different gardens... we just don’t have the same gardens every year,” Lyndall said proudly.

The organising committee for one of the region’s oldest garden tour events is looking to 2022 to get the Ramble back on track, however.

Supported by Cadia Mines’ community programs and Blayney Shire Council, the secret of the event’s success is how locals get behind it, she added.

“We had a ‘virtual’ Ramble last year and another one in autumn this year,” President Lyndall Harrison said.

Next year third time lucky for Ramblers

with a smattering indicating their interest.

“What makes it so successful is that it is a community event,” she said.

“They’re still on the website with the first one in spring a hit internationally with people viewing in England, Ireland, France... it was a huge success, we had over 30,000 hits on the site,” she said.

Supporting the Country Education Foundation, the Ramble also features various stalls and food outlets run by local non-profit groups including the Country Women’s Association, the Anglican Women’s Association, and Cancer Care.

Lyndall said that, with the benefit of hindsight, this year’s event could have probably been held, but no-one simply knew when our postlockdown period would start.

“The funds we raise go to community projects, upgrading the kiosk and fields at Redmond Oval, the Mill Green and a number of other causes,” Lyndall said.

“This year probably could have been held, mostly our visitors come from Orange, Blayney Shire, all over the place, buses from Tamworth, and it has been a hard call, but next year will be fine,” Lyndall said.

Few overheads and a solid committee will ensure that the event bounces back in 2022 when all the lockdowns and visitor restrictions will hopefully be behind us.

Gardens from the two cancelled events have been invited to take part in next year’s event

“While it has been disappointing, we’re already planning next year’s event now,” Lyndall said.

Thanks to all those who signed the ePetition opposing the Government’s proposed reforms to animal welfare laws. The Government have a history of making city-centric and impracticable decisions regarding human-animal interactions.

The Government legislates the proposed reforms, sports fishing will be outlawed as it poses “unnecessary harm” to a fish. A farmer who drafts stock in a race or loads them on a truck may also face sanction, as these practices will be deemed to cause “psychological harm”!

Thanks to all of you who got this petition over the 20,000 signature threshold for this to be publicly debated in NSW Parliament.

Mr Perfect Returns

With the most recent ease in restrictions, our Mr Perfect BBQ’s will recommence.

Considering the current climate, I look forward to hosting the November Mr Perfect BBQ to re-establish community and connections for men in our region.

WHERE: Cook Park.

WHEN: Sunday 7th November, 11am-2pm.

October is Mental Health Month, and it’s a topic I’ve been focused for quite a while. Last week I led a Public Interest Debate on mental health in regional, rural and remote NSW. I informed Parliament that the communities of regional, rural and remote New South Wales bear the physical, psychological and financial brunt brought on by years of drought, floods, bushfires and now a pandemic. Add to this the isolation resulting from the distances which physically separate people from one another in regional areas, and the unreliable communications for many, and there is greater potential erosion of mental health for those in the country, compared to those in the city. Furthermore, successive governments’ agendas to centralise services has led to the withdrawal of services from country towns, and with that came the loss of jobs and investment, and the broadening gap between financial classes who may not have access to reliable transport to access services.

Resilience is a word bandied around by

Roadmap to Disappointment

government. I heard that term used often at the beginning of the drought, back when the Government refused to acknowledge there was a drought. It’s a word that’s also used often when it comes to mental health.

While resilience and preventative measures are important, those whose psychological wellbeing has already started to collapse need well-coordinated, effective and efficient treatment.

The government’s current strategy of throwing money at a bunch of different organisations that do not work in concert is one that is not providing sufficient support to our region. Many of these organisations compete for funding, which does not encourage them to work collaboratively with each other for the benefit of the individual seeking help. Rather than refer those individuals to another organisation when they are overbooked, some of these organisations ask people to wait, sometimes for several weeks.

In speaking with members of the Orange electorate about their experiences with mental health and the suicide of a loved one, it is clear that one vital issue in accessing timely and appropriate mental health services is the absence of service coordination. I have taken it upon myself to create a mental health tool kit for the Orange electorate, as providing service coordination is pivotal, and despite my many requests the government does not appear to be interested in this task.

Now the government needs to step up and do their part.

SERVICE NSW MOBILE CENTRE

They will also be visiting Molong on Wednesday 8th December and Canowindra on Thursday 9th December, I’ll provide details on those visits closer to the date.

The team will be able to provide support across a broad range of services, including: Roads & Maritime Services (such as licence and registration renewals and applications); processing of NSW

If you recall government announcements regarding the Roadmap to Freedom, at 80% double vaccination regional travel was to be permitted. Then we were told the date will be pushed back to 1 November 2021.

The trust the in the government to keep their word has faltered. In a climate of rapid change, the community need to be confident in the government’s ability to follow the Roadmap so we can manage expectations.

For example, many businesses in our region have been struggling over the last few months of lock downs and restrictions, and they need to purchase stock and get staff organised.

We have over 95% of our Orange community who have received their first dose and the gap behind for second dose is closing rapidly.

I accept it’s not been easy but it’s now time for the government to honour their commitment and let people get on with their lives.

DRIVER TESTING BACKLOG Last week I asked the Minister for Customer Service what he is doing for the many young and elderly drivers in country communities who have been waiting for months for Service NSW to facilitate their driving examinations.

The Minister responded and has advised that 17,000 tests are currently waiting to be completed.

The pause in testing was due to both Covid-19 restrictions and to ensure the safety of both driver instructors and the public due to the close proximity and contained environment testing involves. The Minister says they are working their way through the backlog as quickly as possible.

The government must remember that regional areas do not operate the same way the city areas; our public transport options are extremely limited. Being able to drive is so important, and these delays affect job opportunities, livelihoods, and independence.

I am awaiting the Minister’s response.

fter moving to Orange nearly two decades ago from the North Shore, paramedic Darren Smith left behind his muso ventures once “life started” after completing high school and university.

The husband, father and musician-at-heart was coming off nightshift when he recalled his history with music back to his teenage years to Orange City Life, explaining it all began for him in high school where “I did a lot of music”.

One of his really good schoolmates, Philip Burgess, played music with Darren in various bands back in the day, however they drifted apart when life took them into different directions.

Then, for over 20 years, Darren lived the lifestyle of a paramedic and continues to do so to this day, while raising his family.

A PARAMEDIC’S CREATIVE DOUBLE-LIFE:

Darren Smith takes us into his passion with music — SAMUEL RODWELL —

But what changed for him was a school reunion not so long ago where he reconnected with his former muso partner, Philip. This would be the spark to help ignite his previous creative life back to reality.

“After reconnecting at our school reunion in Sydney, we sat down and started writing songs again. Once I got back to Orange, I started picking the guitar back up again.”

As Darren began playing again, his next door neighbour took an interest in what Darren was up too. It just so happens, Darren’s neighbour is the president of JAM Orange, an organisation actively promoting live, local musical talent in the area.

“My neighbour heard me playing and said, ‘You need to come down and play at an open mic event.’ From there, suddenly the creativity came back to me. I began knocking out a few songs, writing and producing them,” Darren explains.

Darren’s music is also an outlet for him to focus on when he’s away from his intense work as a paramedic.

“This is my outlet, and this is what I like to do when I’m not thinking about work because it is intense. It’s nice to work the music around my roster, and it’s something that’s totally different from being a paramedic.”

Now with albums and EPs behind him, Darren’s latest release “Brave” came out in July. Coining it as his “COVID project”, it was entirely selfproduced in his home studio.

The album was the result of not being able to play live music and redirecting his energy into developing songs for a new album.

“The cover of Brave is actually my daughter,” he says. “The album is named after the title track of the same name, it was co-written with James Rutten, a friend of mine. It’s a song about the relationships between fathers and daughters from the perspective of dads watching their daughters growing up and wanting the best for them.

“It’s a really good message. The whole album is centred around that message.”

Darren’s music can be found online for everyone to enjoy and listen to: https://linktr.ee/Dazmusic

BIGGER PREMISES SHOW A bright future for our Orange Baby Kingdom

he’s recently moved her previously-upstairs store to larger premises at street level and is now located at 110 Summer Street.

As well as helping families looking to expand find what they need, Shannan is a busy young mum herself managing and running her one-stop baby shop that has everything for expectant parents.

“It’s great, we’ve got so much more room,” Shannan said excitedly of the new facilities that has seen their useable space double from around 1502 metres to about 3002 metres.

The move in essence brings her store, originally an off-shoot of Toy Kingdom (that then became Jaycar), back to where it all started at ground level.

“We were previously upstairs for five years, we started as an offshoot of Toy

Shannan Fitzsimmons from “Baby Kingdom” on Summer Street, is looking to the future.

Kingdom, who then became Hobby Kingdom, and now we’re moving back,” she enthused.

Like most local shop-owners, lockdown proved a tough period with click and collect proving a life-saver for the business.

“It was very hard, but we survived, click and collect kept us going, but we’ve got a lot of recovering to do,” she said.

“Though we are still struggling with merchandise and shipping,” she added.

Shannan’s new, larger premises, allows her to better display her range of prams, car seats, cots, change tables, mobiles, furniture, clothes, toys, baby bags, and accessories.

Other items for new parents include baby monitors, bibs, pacifiers (dummies), food preparation units, high

chairs for bub’s first meal, strollers, and baby calmers.

“We’re slowly introducing more clothes, more lines of stuff, it will allow us to display it all better,” Shannan said.

“It’s not just the extra stuff, it’s that we get to display everything,” she explained.

Being at street level as well will allow better opportunities for walk-ins and shop-front promotions, she added.

“It’s better for me also, instead of being stuck upstairs, I feel like I’m part of the world now,” she said.

Recognising the reality of the modern retail environment, Baby Kingdom has a fantastic range of online products for those who want to shop from home, just go to: www.orangebabykingdom.com.au Mother of four children herself, three girls and a boy, aged from 11 down to

18-months, she knows how important it is to find someone that can provide all your new baby needs in one shop.

“I really like helping people who comein and have no idea to get everything they need to outfit their nursery and baby with all these wonderful and amazing things.

“Being a mother myself and running the business, means that I know what young families need soon as they walk in, I’m also up-to-date with everything they require,” she said.

Her store is one of those locally-owned and family-run business that are the heart and soul of shopping districts in towns like Orange.

“We’re not a franchise and we’re not an outlet, we’re locally-owned and fully independent, so come-in and see what we have before you have your new baby,” Shannan said proudly.

Cemetery supervisor Brian looks on

bright side of life It’s the eternal question: is there life after death?

Recently retired after 20 years as Cemetery Supervisor for Orange City Council, Brian Haddin, like all of us, can only guess.

“Yeah, it’s just as much a mystery to me as it is to anyone else,” Brian said.

“Until you’ve experienced it yourself, you simply don’t know.”

While death itself is as great a question of faith and belief to him as to any of us (Brian is a committed Christian), he does have some experience into how the living deal with loss.

“Do I have a greater insight into death because of working in a cemetery?

No, I don’t – what I do have is a greater insight on how people handle death.”

He recounts some of his most interesting insights on the subject on pages 24-25 of this week’s Orange City Life.

“The expressions on people’s faces when you say that is what you do, is very revealing... many today are not very experienced in handling death,” Brian said.

“Generally, there is silence for a moment as they try to think how to respond. It’s not like a reply of ‘I’m a carpenter’, or ‘I’m a hairdresser’, which generally allows the other person to launch into a conversation.

“Finally, they respond with either ‘that’s interesting’ or with humour to try and lighten the moment, ‘So you are always dying to get to work,’ or, ‘So you work in the dead centre of town,’ or my favourite, ‘So you must have an important job in Council with all those people under you’ – over 25,000 to be precise!”

He said though, that the greatest change he has seen over the past two

decades is how much more involved people like to be in preparing and choosing a plot for their loved ones.

“It’s surprising how that’s changed over the years... It used to be that, 80 per cent of the time, we simply chose a spot and the family were happy with that – not anymore,” Brian said.

“Now the families come up and choose a plot, whether it’s under a tree, or has a view over town, but it’s amazing how often they simply can’t make their minds up.

“I used to have my little spiel about facing east (traditionally Christians are buried facing east) and that often helped,” Brian said.

“Cemeteries run on emotion. Often there is no logic to the requests and even demands at times, as people grieve the loss of a loved one.”

He believes that maintaining a sense of humour is one of the key factors to working in a cemetery – the ability to walk away from the job each day and be able to laugh with family.

“It’s about not taking home some of the anguish and bitter grief that some families experience losing a loved one.”

Ironically, Brian’s previous career that led him to this singular job, was in working with living things in horticulture.

“I started at Orange City Council in 1996 working at the Botanic Gardens, then Cook Park before taking up the new position of Cemetery Supervisor in 2001.

“Two of my most-used sayings are ‘all men are equal in death’ and ‘cemeteries are for the living’,” Brian concluded.

See Brian’s full story on pages 24-25.

Mt Canobolas: a world-class destination for mountain bike riding.

Orange City Council is exploring a proposal to build a network of mountain bike (MTB) trails on Mt Canobolas.

Evidence so far suggests the mountain has the potential to attract riders from across Australia and the world, building on the Orange region’s capacity to welcome tourists and enthusiasts, while providing the resources to protect the mountain’s unique environment. The project is yet to be assessed by government authorities.

By designing a network of trails which leave large buffers around these known sensitive areas, these experts have made it clear it is possible to have a world-class network of trails and protect the mountain’s special places.

By walking every metre of these proposed trails, the consultants have also established that there are severe weed infestations in the conservation area.

Constructing a network of bike trails will increase the number of visitors, giving national parks the budget they need to deal with the weeds. The best way to protect the mountain’s unique biodiversity is to build a network of trails.

Regular supporters of PCYC can now rejoice – the new, shiny indoor courts have arrived With the return of many sports this last week of October, it was the perfect opportunity for players to test out the newly arrived courts after nearly a month of resurfacing work.

The whole operation involved intense re-sanding of the courts’ surfaces back to raw timber, stripping the old court lines off, having an application of new surface base and top coatings, and rigorous line-marking.

“It’s perfect timing, the courts were originally meant to be done in December but with the recent lockdown, the opportunity arose to

— SAMUEL RODWELL —

get the resurfacing done earlier – so the end-of-year and summer sports can enjoy it sooner,” said PCYC’s Dave Cleal.

“Basketball has grown in the community, the interest for Futsal is increasing, and with netball being one of our biggest sports in Orange with over 2500 players, it’s massive, and these new courts will facilitate the sports and community perfectly.

“We hope this won’t have to be upgraded for another 10-15 years or so, both surface and lines,” Mr Cleal said.

Orange City Council supported the resurfacing with an investment of about $75,000 signifying their recognition of the importance and value that the PCYC facility offers to our community.

“Schools from around Orange and out of the area come and play sports here – we’ve had schools as far as Condobolin come to use the stadium and our gymnastics facility,” Mr Cleal said.

Not only do sporting and youth development activities take place under the PCYC roof, but a range of

major public events have been hosted across the indoor courts – from the Bridal Expo to Orange’s annual Bird Show.

“We are one of the largest PCYCs in the state, out 64 in total. Between basketball, netball, hockey and futsal starting back up, we are going to have a pretty hectic week with reopening the new indoor courts.

“Orange is lucky to have a PCYC here, and the team are very grateful to Orange City Council for their support and helping us maintain what we do here,” said Dave.

VAX VANS BOLSTER REGION’S VACCINATION RATES Our electorate has some of the highest vaccination rates in the country, which is incredible! It’s largely due to the very successful ADF vaccination clinics that have been held in more than 33 regional NSW locations since August.

I popped into most of the ADF clinics and, more recently, visited the ADF vaccination vans - Spike and Jabba - (pictured) that have travelled across the electorate to further increase access to vaccines. I would like to thank everyone who has worked in our vaccination clinics and vans for their invaluable help.

It won’t be long until we can explore more of NSW and catch up with family and friends who we haven’t been able to see for many months. I’d like to thank every member of our community for helping us get to this point.

Vaccination rates at the time of writing Orange: 1st dose - >95% 2nd dose - 79.4% Cabonne: 1st dose - 91.5% 2nd dose - 75.1% Blayney: 1st dose - >95% 2nd dose - 76%

REGIONAL BANKING TASKFORCE MUST VISIT CENTRAL WEST I welcome the news that the Australian Government has launched a Regional Banking Taskforce. In fact, I think it’s long overdue!

The Taskforce will bring together representatives of Australia’s six big banks, as well as peak banking bodies, Australia Post and the Australian Local Government Association to assess the impact of bank branch closures on regional communities. It will also explore avenues to ensure banks continue to adequately service rural centres.

I have been very vocal about branch closures and service hour reductions in the Calare electorate. In June I spoke in Federal Parliament calling for minimum service requirements to be placed on the big banks. I’ve been pushing for an inquiry into regional bank services for more than five months.

This year alone, we’ve seen the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) pull out of Molong and Blayney, while halving opening hours at branches in Oberon, Wellington and Gulgong. We all know the vital service the banks provide to rural communities, and we’ve had enough of being treated like second class citizens by the large banks!

This week I am scheduled to address Parliament to call on the Taskforce to leave the big cities and venture out west to talk to those most affected by recent branch closures: the loyal bank customers,

local business owners and councils who are left mopping up the mess after the branch doors slam shut.

The Taskforce will hold its first meeting next month, before releasing an issues paper for public consultation.

I will be sure to let you know when and how your voices can be heard.

HAPPY 100TH BIRTHDAY TO LOCAL VETERAN, JACK BROWN! A very happy 100th birthday to Jack Brown who was born in Orange on 21 October 1921. Jack left school at a young age but never lost his curiosity or thirst for lifelong learning. During the Second World War, Jack joined the Australian Army and served in the 251st Light Aid Detachment in New Guinea, from Finschhafen to Madang. His main duties were in the mechanical division, ensuring Army vehicles were mechanically sound. In one incident, an Army ‘duck’ lost its rudder when the cable snapped in rough seas. Jack bravely jumped from another vessel into the damaged one and was able to save it and its three occupants.

On returning to civilian life after the war, Jack worked as a mechanic and started a plumbing business for rural properties. Retirement didn’t slow Jack down as he took much pleasure in gardening, landscape painting and travelling around Australia with his wife Lorraine.

Jack credits his longevity to having a positive attitude, keeping up with current developments and trends and abiding by his motto of “stopping to think about things before doing them!”

I was honoured to join Jack to celebrate this milestone birthday!

NET ZERO UPDATE FROM ANDREW I supported the National Party’s decision on net zero emissions by 2050.

The reality is that up until last week, there was no focus on how a net zero target would impact country communities across Australia. This week, I’m glad to say that the bush is now a part of the picture.

I fought for specific local planning initiatives for the future of country communities and to guard and protect regional interests and jobs. People in the country should not have to wear the cost or carry the can for city people on this issue.

Taxing regional businesses and industries out of existence and restricting the rights of farmers is not the way forward.

Under the plan, local businesses like Newcrest/Cadia will continue to thrive and jobs will not be lost.

There are definitely opportunities here for country Australia, but there needs to be proper planning and support to maximise them and get the best possible result for the regions.

We need to be looking to the future, for our kids and grandkids, to find solutions that work for both the environment and country communities. For me, this process has been an important step in doing just that.

RETIRING CEMETERY SUPERVISOR

REFLECTS ON AN UNUSUAL CAREER COMMENT by Brian Haddin, Ex-Cemetery Supervisor/Team Leader, Orange City Council.

It has always amazed me how people react when I’m asked, “What do you do for a living?” and I reply, “I’m the Cemetery Supervisor for Orange City Council”.

to remain on the concrete strip, the daughter then insisted on planting her mum’s favourite shrub on the grave, then annuals. For the daughter, NO was not an option.

Generally, there is silence for a moment as they try to think how to respond. It’s not like a reply of “I’m a carpenter”, or “I’m a hairdresser”, which generally allows the other person to launch into a conversation.

Then there was the gentleman who came up close to my face and called me everything under the sun because the grass had died on his son’s grave. As he stormed off, I said, “Due to water restrictions the irrigation system has been turned off.” The gentleman drove past a sign saying the same thing on the entrance road.

Finally, they respond with either “that’s interesting” or with humour to try and lighten the moment – “so you are always dying to get to work” or “so you work in the dead centre of town” or my favourite, “So you must have an important job in Council with all those people under you” (over 25,000 to be precise).

Maintaining a sense of humour is one of the key factors to working in a Cemetery, the ability to walk away from the job each day and be able to laugh with family; not to take home some of the anguish and bitter grief that some families experience losing a loved one.

Cemeteries run on emotion. Often there is no logic to the requests – and even demands at times – as people grieve the loss of a loved one.

Then, as you would expect, there is the emotion of sadness and despair. I remember a man lying on the mound of his wife’s grave, arms stretched out trying to hug the mound as he cried profusely. The mother telling me that she did not want to bury her son in the cemetery, the place was horrible, while the father wandered back and forth mumbling to himself, “I shouldn’t be here, I shouldn’t be here.”

Three months later the mother was telling me how beautiful the cemetery was in the area where their son had been buried and what a good job we were doing.

There is no right or wrong way to grieve. I’ve seen people respond to death in all kinds of emotions over the years. One is anger, often when a person dies suddenly, particularly when the death could have been prevented due to poor health habits.

I remember assisting a gentleman to find the grave of his younger brother who had passed away when he was only two. Due to the poor record-keeping back in that era, I was not able to pin-point the burial. The man began to weep when he realised that there would not be a final closure to that part of his life.

One person who comes to mind was a daughter wanting to plant her mum’s favourite tree on her grave in the lawn cemetery. After discussing with her that it was a lawn cemetery and that everything had

Then there are the beautiful moments that touched my heart. On a cold, grey winter’s afternoon, I once heard a bagpipe playing. When I went to investigate, I came across two male teenagers sitting either side

24 OCTOBER 28 — NOVEMBER 3, 2021

of the grave of a 16-year-old while a third stood at the foot of the grave playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes – what friendship!

On one occasion, we went to fill a grave after the service had concluded only to find the husband sitting on the ground at the end of the grave with his legs dangling in the grave. He turned to me and told me how much he wanted to be in there with her, how much he wanted to hold her one more time.

I will never forget the sound of over 100 voices singing a beautiful old hymn in perfect harmony with no music, or the passion of a “haka” as they sent the spirit of the child on its way.

Then there was the occasion that made me smile when I saw three young women dressed for a night out in tight skirts and stiletto high heels, trying to shovel wet, heavy soil into a grave. The family had requested that the grave be hand-filled by the mourners. Unfortunately, everyone had left the service leaving the three young ladies behind and a grave that was only half-filled! I offered for the cemetery staff to complete the back-fill. The ladies accepted my offer and were gone within seconds.

Backfilling a grave by hand using only shovels and not an excavator or backhoe, is usually requested on the basis of religious or spiritual beliefs.

Unfortunately, I’ve seen over the years the occasions when religion has separated families rather than bring them together.

There are graveside services with a small group of mourners standing 20 metres away, waiting for the service to conclude and everyone to leave, before they approach the grave to pay their last respects.

These people no longer belong to that church and

therefore are banned from taking part in the service.

I remember a woman telling me that her husband was buried in the Catholic section and that there was no way she was going to be buried with the Catholics. “I have my plot in the Church of England section,” she explained. Fortunately, the new section of the lawn cemetery is now non-Denominational (since 2006), so the religion of the person beside your plot is not taken into consideration.

I’ve had a well-meaning Health and Building Inspector once tell me that the food placed around a child’s grave should be removed as it will attract vermin. I then had to explain to the inspector that the food was an important part of the burial process for this culture, a gift to the ancestors in the afterlife to take care of the child. The family replaced the food on a regular basis, never allowing it to spoil and become an issue.

The Health and Building Inspector was wellmeaning and following Council regulations.

A challenging part of supervising the operations of a cemetery is the regulations and codes of practise that you need to understand. +++ Apart from Council regulations and Workplace Health and Safety requirements, there are Health regulations that cover issues such as burial depth, ash remains, burial with or without a casket. There is also the Heritage Act to take into consideration for any monument more than 50 years old, codes of practice, a new Australian standard for monument construction, and the Disposal of Body Act introduced in 2011 and undergoing several amendments since then.

Even the use of pesticides in the cemetery, when there is a school adjoining the site, requires protocols to follow.

The regulation that most people struggle with is the “Right of Burial”, which is addressed in the Disposal of Body Act. When you purchase a plot to bury a

loved one, you purchase the “Right” to bury the person in that plot, not the land. The land remains the property of the Cemetery Authority, in our case, Orange City Council.

Occasionally when the family realises they can’t do whatever they like on their loved one’s grave, rather than approaching Orange City Council or the Cemetery staff to discuss the issue, they go straight to the press to complain.

The attacks on Orange City Council and, in particular, the Cemetery staff by newspaper articles and social media have been one of the most disappointing parts of this job.

Orange City Council is not a thing; it’s over 500 people trying to do their job to the best of their abilities.

When the Cemetery is under attack, it is my staff and myself that are being attacked. On one occasion, Council was being accused in a newspaper article of being insensitive to a family – the way the article had been written had my administrative assistant in tears.

Some negative allegations and comments made on social media are simply not true.

As indicated previously, the job requires knowledge of regulations and the spiritual beliefs of the various denominations. Equally, the job requires answers to questions such as – “Why are most of the headstones in the old part facing up hill?

“What happened to the columns on some of the old graves, were they vandalised or damaged in a storm?

“What’s the symbol on the headstones that looks like a dollar sign?

“Why are all the concrete strips in the lawn cemetery facing one way except the Bahai that’s off at a weird angle?

“That bushy area called the Environment burials, what is that for?

“How many dead bodies have you seen?”

I answer that question with a reminder to the person that the bodies arrive at the cemetery in a coffin, are buried in a coffin, and that’s where they stay.

“Have you seen a ghost?” The answer is “no”, but I recall two strange occurrences. On a wet, grey day, I was working on my own. The shed was all locked up.

When I returned to have my lunch, the warning lights on the tractor in the shed were flashing. The tractor had not been used that day.

On another occasion, I arrived at work one morning to open up the shed to find our radio in the lunch room on and well above the volume we would normally have it. We always turned off the radio at the end of lunch each day.

I have been privileged to work with some very dedicated staff over the years, prepared to stay back after hours when they were meant to be somewhere else, to make sure everything about the burial was perfect.

Staff who would give up their weekend time to come in and water new turf grass. Administrative staff that genuinely care about how you feel and the issues that are important to you.

A manager, now director, who trusted my judgement and was focused on providing a cemetery that met the public’s expectations, equally caring about his staff, particularly the emotional and mental issues that staff face working in a death environment.

I’ve been equally privileged to work with some amazing volunteers focused on upgrading the information and records of the cemetery. When you have records from 100 years ago that have the burial recorded as “Occupied” one after another, it is not very helpful when families are chasing family history, occupied by who?

I have worked with some highly-skilled excavator operators digging graves, both contract and Council.

So often an excavator operator would come in with a high level of skills operating 20-tonne-plus machines and find how difficult it is working in such confined spaces, with accurate measurements required and a precision to detail using vertical dig or grave digging buckets on a three-tonne excavator. Hand-digging graves is very rare in the 21st century.

After almost 20 years of witnessing and signing off the interment of a coffin or ash remains for over 2500 of our community, it is time for me to sign off and head into semi-retirement.

I hope this article has given you an insight into an occupation very rarely spoken about, but covering a topic that many of our community have a fascination about – Death.

Memories golden, but present bleak, for Millthorpe Museum

I

ts memories may be golden, but the present is not that bright for Millthorpe’s iconic Golden Memories Museum.

the district, to agricultural machinery, social history, and Peter Willey’s famous farm-based artworks, some weekends now have barely had a visitor.

An eclectic mix of memorabilia, history and architecture, the Museum has not had the bounce-back from the COVID-19 lockdowns that it had hoped for.

The completely volunteer-run facility on Park Street as one enters Millthorpe from Orange, has been hit hard by the continued bans of out-of-towners and Sydneysiders who make up the majority of its patronage.

While hundreds of people a weekend previously wandered through its various displays ranging from a unique Wiradjuri exhibit, the history of gold in

“It’s been quiet with maybe one or two people coming-through,” a spokesperson said recently. “Last

Saturday, we had not a visitor, so we closed early.”

The inability of the historic village 25km south-east of Orange to be able to hold its annual Garden Ramble for the past two years has also hit the Museum hard, with the first weekend in November one of the most popular for visitors to the historic site.

Although the Museum featured in the Garden Ramble’s recent online “Autumn Ramble” created by the Garden Ramble Committee, this is not the same a real-

time visitors to the local institution that was established more than 50 years ago.

Volunteers are hoping that the visitors that saw Millthorpe enjoy a bustling weekend tourism trade, will return as the lockdown measures to control the coronavirus are gradually lifted throughout NSW and Australia.

Millthorpe Golden Memories Museum is open 10-4pm weekends, public holidays, and school holidays at 37 Park Street, Millthorpe, phone 6366 3980.

appreciated by the community that’s been hard hit

by Covid and changing economic circumstances.

Phil Donnan, Regional Director North West Region of St Vincent de Paul Society, said, “We are really pleased to announce the Vinnies Van service is back after the COVID shutdown.”

“So being able to announce the return is great news,” Mr Donnan said. At this stage Vinnies will only be recommencing the Van service as the Friday fortnightly Café lunch is not able to return due to a shortage of cooking and serving volunteers.

2021 has been a very difficult year, with the fortnightly Van service working intermittently due to COVID-19.

“We know the Vinnies Van is very much

30 OCTOBER 28 — NOVEMBER 3, 2021

“We are putting the call out for additional volunteers for the Vinnies Van and the Café service. We are looking for a Van coordinator and

cooks and servers to restart the Café lunch in 2022.

Serving a sit-down lunch gives people attending the social interaction and connection that is so important,” he said.

Enquiries on volunteering can be directed to the Vinnies Orange office on 02 6362 2565.

“I especially want to thank all the Vinnies Van volunteers who are coming back to assist those in the community who are struggling. Our volunteers are the backbone of Vinnies and we could not do it without them,” Mr Donnan said.

TRADES AND SERVICE BUSINESS PROFILE OCLife

MARK’S A MASTER OF MANY AND A JACK-OF-ALL TRADES Home maintenance handyman Mark O’Donahue is as much a master of many as a jack-of-all-trades.

In fact, once he does one job for a homeowner, he often gets asked to complete a whole lot more.

“I’ve got three main trades; carpenter, plasterer, and tiler, and I’m going to get a ticket for painting as well,” he explained.

“I do a pretty good job, and once a person gets me in a house, they don’t want to let me out,” he laughs. “They say, ‘can you then do this, and then get onto that?’,” he explained.

“I’ve been working on a house in Park Lane that I’ve been in since abut the middle of May, people bought this house and wanted the whole lot renovated, and I’m still there,” he smiled.

His other work involves car detailing, fencing, yard clean-ups, and general

repairs and maintenance Because of the complex restorative nature of much of his work, clients are normally happy to see Mark on a piece-paid basis.

“I normally charge an hourly rate because with these old houses, you simply can’t put a fixed price on things, the work evolves as you start getting into it.

“I have a lot of return customers and I class them as friends,” he said.

He first found his inner-handyman in woodwork classes at school: “I thought, ‘I’ve got a bit of a talent for this’, I’m sort of a jack-of-all trades, anything to do with building, and I’m always learning new things,” he said.

Like man local tradies, he learned his craft in Sydney before finding the more-relaxed lifestyle west of the Mountains to his liking.

With an old-fashioned approach to customer service, reliability is another of his key qualities.

“I came from Winston Hills (northwest Sydney) and moved here in 2005, and I’m not going back.

“I enjoy helping people out and I turn up when I say, When I often turn-up to do quotes, people often say, ‘ohh, you turned-up,’ and I say, well I said I would, so I did,” Mark said.

“You start on a room and find that work needs doing on the boards or walls, and you have to go from there,” he explained.

“Just the fresh air and not the hustle and bustle of Sydney, country people are

“I actually live at Molong, but I’m in the process of moving to Orange to get married, so it’s all going well,” Mark concluded.

In this world of colo ur, with vibrant dist inctions for our eyes and br ain to interpret, ther e are some people who believe that colour imager y is mundane and so yearn for so mething singular an d perhaps strik ing.

Colour photog raph y reig ns supreme, an d there’s nothing wrong with that, however mon ochrome images are high ly re garded by many pr ofessiona l photog raphers.

There’s an eleganc e within the simplici ty of black & white. There’s the hi gh light of textures an d surfaces, the unity of shades and light under one fo rm , and the ar tistic ex pression that the monochrom e approach can have – the deta il, composition and mood is undeniable.

Created with this m onochrome gaze, OC L’s Samuel Rodwell sh ares both personal and unused photog raphs from pr ev ious stories in th is week’s unique pictor ia l.

We hope you enjoy the point of differe nce.

Jack Brown hits the century Jack Brown celebrated his 100th birthday with the residents and staff at Orange Grove Care Community last Thursday, October 21.

The chef made a huge cake for the occasion and letters from the Queen and the Prime Minister were read out. A small group of family and friends held a party for Jack on Saturday.

Jack is a lifelong resident of Orange and trained as a Motor Mechanic at Lapham’s Garage in Summer Street, later working at the Canobolas Garage in Lords Place, and the Golden Fleece Service Station on Peisley Street. He later ran his own mechanic workshop in Byng Street and then during the 1960s and ‘70s ran his own concrete business there.

During WWII Jack was in the 251st Light Aid Detachment and served in the Papua New Guinea Peninsular Campaign, with most of his active service between Finschhafen and Madang.

Jack and his wife Lorraine were married for 64 years and had four children, six grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.

Jack Brow n and Kat a letter f hy DeRooy reading rom the Q uee n

Jack is a well-respected character of Orange and cares for those around him, and over the years was often found to be helping others who were down on their luck.

Congratulations on reaching this milestone Jack.

open forum – It’s time to have your say

Orange City Life’s OPEN FORUM is an opportunity for anyone and everyone to contribute their opinions on current issues, particularly relating to local government.

Current Orange City councillors, Council candidates, community representatives and goodold “Joe Public” are all invited to use the Open Forum to share what they want to say with the whole community, to get off their chest, or comment about, how local government is or should be run in the Colour City.

Comments on other topics that impact our

community are also welcome.

Send us your letters, comments and views. Please keep contributions to about 250 words.

Please note we reserve the right to edit or refuse any material that we feel is inappropriate, defamatory or simply unfair.

Want to have your say? Make sure you include your name and contact details with your contributions, including a daytime phone number in case we need to get in touch with you. We generally include the writer’s name with each letter however will consider withholding a name under special circumstances.

During troubled times: reset your life to Jesus If we can believe what we’re being told, many “Orange City Life” readers would be suffering greatly from one form of pressure or another at this time.

Caring people are very mindful of what is happening to people in the areas of mental health and financial stress, just to name two.

Those who know me, would know that I personally have been fighting my own battle caring for a wife who was diagnosed with a very rare and fatal brain disease called CJD early in 2020.

She was given as little as four months to live, but remarkably is still with me. We are devoted Christians and give all credit to God for sustaining us the way he has, I simply could not have done what I have done, without His help, the emotional and physical strain I have endured has even surprised those who have shared our journey, medical professionals included.

This has caused me to think long and hard about what we could do to help others who find themselves under immense pressure at this time.

Recently, I believe God gave me the answer. It’s really quite simple and straight-forward. I believe He has told me to simply say this: “If life is weighing you down, reset your life – include Jesus.”

My work is in marketing and if that’s not a brilliant universal theme for Christian Churches to take on board for these times, and especially with Christmas coming up, I don’t know what is.

Christians have a slogan “Christ is the answer”, now is a time for those who are struggling to reset their life, include Jesus and discover what it means.

My further hope is that Christian churches across Australia will pick up the theme, maybe in the leadup to the Christmas season, and use it to offer help, support, and answers to people in their local communities.

BOB HOLLAND

Writer is right; we’re close to election “ground zero” David Dixon’s comments are correct, this sorry Council is following the proven tactic of a lot of action and spending in the months prior to the election by demonstrating improvement in some infrastructure and planning projects.

The enormous cost of the McNamara Lane and Lords Place works will improve pedestrian access, and to date, little else.

Some of the current councillors have put out that they’ve had decades of experience to qualify them for the role of mayor. Okay, in that time, those longterm councillors have stood, stating they would address the bad roads and improve accountability and transparency.

42 OCTOBER 28 — NOVEMBER 3, 2021

reception@oclife.com.au

Unit 3/241 Lords Place, Orange NSW 2800

Well, I’ve had decades of experience observing the ongoing deterioration of our roads, and accountability seems to mean blaming the weather or being on a swamp.

News flash! It also rains in Cabonne, Blayney, and Bathurst – which are areas with much better roads - and Hill and Anson Streets aren’t on a swamp and sections of those central streets are abominable.

There are many areas that are in dire need of repair or replacement.

Frances Kinghorn’s recent article on getting valuefor-money when sizes are reduced means the consumer gets less for their money - that can apply to our council. While their remuneration has increased, there’s little sign of performance increasing to match.

All residents should compare election promises to elected results, they’re not alike.

GARRY KIND.

Hey public service, how about serving?

I had to call the Australian Immunisation Register this week in order to help sort out a vaccine passport for a young man who wasn’t eligible for a Medicare card, and whose two doses of COVID vaccines stubbornly refused to go onto the register.

I was on hold for 57 minutes (using speakerphone so I could still do other things) and, when they finally answered, I was cut off after about 20 seconds.

This was frustrating, but I’m pretty stubborn, so we went through the whole process again – another 62 minutes.

people reporting on how long the average wait time is, and more actually answering the phones?

FRANCES KINGHORNE, COUNCIL CANDIDATE

The physics of potholes and why we still have them Potholes in our roads are a regular source of annoyance. Even when they are filled, it’s only a short time before they reappear. Some of the roads in Orange are incredibly rough, because they are just a great collection of potholes joined together by mounds of bitumen, all at different levels.

Why do our potholes keep coming back to life?

Because, Council’s road repairing approach ignores the science of pothole physics.

Take a look at almost any pothole and you will see it is saucer-shaped, and what do some saucers do when hit with the force of a car or truck wheel? They fly, hence the term “flying saucers”.

Presently the hole is filled by spraying on bituminised gravel, usually overfilling the hole and leaving vehicle weight to compress the infill.

Pretty quickly, sticky gravel ends up all over the road and stuck to the undersides of cars, and not long after, we have a re-born pothole.

Instead of just filling in a hole, Council should be removing some of the base material to make the hole box-shaped, not saucer-shaped. Then the force of a vehicle’s wheel will be directed down into the ground, and not horizontally and then upwards.

This diagram should explain what I mean.

When I was able to speak to a person (without being randomly disconnected) they informed me that they couldn’t discuss the issue with me and that the patient would have to call them himself.

I have heard that this happens quite regularly with Centrelink as well, and it makes me wonder why anyone thinks it’s a good idea to conduct business in this manner.

If it’s taking an hour to get through, then clearly more staff are needed, or introduce a system where someone will call you back.

Instead you’re subjected to banal music, interspersed with repetitive explanations as to why you probably don’t need to speak to them and should resolve the issue using their online portal, or assuring you that your call is important – just not important enough to actually answer.

It’s quite irritating, especially when you’re busy, and it’s obvious that such things could be bettermanaged.

It’s also difficult for the minimal staff who do eventually answer because they’re then exposed to some very frustrated people – not always easy to manage.

I’m not sure that they can call themselves ‘public services’ when they’re really not providing a reasonable service. Perhaps we could have a few less

Perhaps it is time for Council to rethink their approach to, and treatment of, our many potholes.

Surely if done better, we would save time, energy and resources as well as diminish the angst of so many in our community.

Return thanks from regular contributor I note your editorial column last week acknowledging all the photographers, short story writers, club writers and columnists who contribute to “Orange City Life” on a regular basis.

As a writer, and on behalf of all of these other contributors, can I thank-you for your unwavering support in publishing our locally-produced material.

“Orange City Life” is widely read and I always receive immediate feedback from the community when an item has been published – I am sure all the other contributors receive the same reaction, whatever their area of interest.

Bob Holland was always a great supporter of the Orange perspective, it is nice to see the tradition continues.

Thanks again, GREG MCFARLAND

Housing strategy for young, local families I have been following the draft Council housing strategy. Very reassuring to see this long-term planning being done.

Much is made of Orange’s growing population with people moving from Sydney. This growth makes sense, as relocating to Orange is a smart move.

Concerning housing strategy though, I think people moving from afar may well have the financial capacity to sort themselves out.

I want Council’s housing strategy then to focus on people already here. In particular, effort should be placed on ensuring affordable housing for local young people.

People who have completed schooling in Orange, left school, and found work in Orange, need a place to live as well. A median house price of $557,000 does seem a daunting prospect for them. I think infill and limited higher-density housing may well be part of the solution.

It might help reduce the temptation for urban sprawl.

Potential solutions can be debated, but recognising the problem is an essential start.

A growing city could do well with some spreading of amenities. Council should consider how to encourage corner stores or equivalent to exist in our expanding suburbs to, hopefully, allow daily essentials to be available close to home. Would be good for managing traffic congestion in the CBD as well.

If Orange’s population does increase from 40,000 in 2016 to 52,000 in 20 years’ time, water capture and storage also need to increase at least proportionally.

I’m glad this is highlighted in the draft strategy. I suspect increasing water storage will be a frustrating challenge, given inevitable environmental concerns, significant cost, and the temptation to be distracted by other issues as long as the dams are currently full.

Whoever is on Council next year will need a particular focus on this issue so that it doesn’t get buried under short-term problems.

open forum Independents serve community Well placed to hit the best by being “apolitical” top job up and running

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted how complicated and distorted things can become when politics and economics, or both, influence decisionmaking.

Loss of trust and integrity appear to be the collateral damage. Politics can be used to benefit people and communities but, too often, it seems politics have become a weapon rather than a tool to get things done.

That is why I am standing as an independent who views issues impartially and objectively, rather than on the basis of a political alignment.

STEVE PETERSON, COUNCIL CANDIDATE

I am standing as both Councillor and Mayor and, like other serious candidates, I have put myself in front of people to give them the chance to discover who I am, the vast experience I’ve had in local government, and what I can bring to Council.

Open-mindedness and fairness should be synonymous with local governance; the main role of local council is to ensure the meaningful participation of residents and that local resources are used for the enhancement of the lives of local people.

One way I have done this is by writing several columns over recent years for “Orange City Life” and “Newswatch” on the topic of “How to Get the Best Out of Your Council”; the aim being to show how we can all play a part in getting the best out of our council.

When local decisions are made with a political agenda, even if it is not overtly aligned to a party, but with an eye to re-election; or an economic decision without a cost-benefit analysis, it is easy to lose focus on that local government is about people and their homes. Local government is a forum to deliver local and regional priorities.

I was discussing this issue with a friend recently, and we agreed that the Livestreaming of Council meetings has helped get more people interested in their local council, local issues, and how decisions are made.

It’s been obvious to me that here in Orange, a lot of things could have been done better and that we often deserved better.

Homes, food, and clean water and air, should not be political pawns; they are a right, not a privilege; caring for and maintaining the place we call home should not be a politically-motivated activity.

Also, watching a Council meeting gives much greater insight into what Councillors are like and how they think without the media spin that often protects them. A good council requires not only good, but also capable, people.

I am not naïve, and I am very aware of the importance of lobbying at both a State and Federal level to ensure that the interests of our community are heard and considered – in fact much of my career has been spent responding to and negotiating with policy-makers in a highly-politicised environment to secure funding and influence directions and outcomes.

I have heard it said that there is no such thing as being “non-political”. However, local government and the interests of residents is, I believe, best served by being “apolitical”.

That is, taking an open and unbiased position in regard to local matters. It has been said most people “lean” toward a party; “true” independents tend to avoid politics; at a local level, yes, but using our community leverage with different layers of government to ensure that our interests are bestserved.

Nancy Lodge, in her letter last week, said Orange City Council’s next popularly-elected Mayor needs to have local government experience, something I can claim, especially given the next term is only around two-and-a-half years following the election postponements.

I’m well placed to hit the ground running if elected to the top job, having worked at a senior level in local and State government in NSW for over 20 years.

I can bring the best of both worlds to the Chamber: inside experience on one hand, and as a ratepayer on the other. I have an in-depth understanding of local government, particularly financial management, and a strong track record of achieving results.

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVICE

Girl Guides gunyah stall

These Girl Guides went all out with this street stall outside the Post Office in March 1956 to raise funds for a new Guide Gunyah, to replace the old one which was destroyed by fire.

Among the items displayed to tempt buyers were fruit, vegetables, lollies, cakes, jams, and a magnificent doll.

Their efforts paid off when they counted the proceeds – they raised £95.

More and more people in Orange are enjoying the benefits of independent financial advice... should you be one of them?

THUMBS UP to Grant, our postie in Bel Air. He is so friendly and puts in extra effort to look after us. Thanks Grant!

THUMBS DOWN to the driver in the very large truck that stopped at Calare Public School on a recent very-busy afternoon right on top of the pedestrian crossing! The thoughtless driver got out of his truck to pick up his child, then drove off. How irresponsible is that?

THUMBS UP to the ladies at Hogan’s Pharmacy. The ladies opened the store 45 minutes after their usual closing time on Saturday, to allow me to get a vaccination.

THUMBS DOWN to the people who continue to leave their rubbish at the Return & Earn machine. It’s not your local tip! Take your rubbish home with you and stop filling up the shopping trolleys. They are for the supermarket.

THUMBS UP to the locals and neighbours who came to our aid, blocking the road in both directions, when a couple of our steers had escaped their paddock. We are grateful for the quick thinking, and the friendly help. Thank-you.

THUMBS UP to the ambulance crews, Orange Health Service, doctors and nurses, Dr Howe, Felicity, and to my friends and family. You are the best anyone can ask for. You have been wonderful helping me while I recover. A special thanks to the newsagency for throwing my paper up onto my veranda so I don’t have to walk far to get it.

Thank-you.

THUMBS UP It will be thumbs up for Orange City Council if they move the traffic lights on Bathurst Road, outside the School at Kinross. I recently read a story about the mayor talking about the lights.... “Use them or lose them.” We could use the lights at Allenby Road, where there was someone recently killed. The school can still use them and make it easier for drivers coming out of the Medical Centre, or the park to get back onto Bathurst Road.

THUMBS UP to the elderly couple who saved a couple of tortoises, or are they turtles?

They saved these beautiful creatures from being run over along the Millthorpe Road recently. You don’t have to be a Buddhist to value the importance of animal life and not want to see these cute reptiles run over.

THUMBS UP to the volunteers at local charities and other organisations who have kept the faith during the pandemic and have come rushing back to ensure that their vital work is not missed in the community. Well done!

THUMBS UP to Matt and Dicko from Orange CYMS under-16s football team. Half the kids have been with the side since they were under-sixes, and the presentation was a real celebration of what sport is all about. That is, character, and not winning or losing!

THUMBS DOWN to the local drivers who approach roundabouts with a bull-at-agate attitude, trying to bully other cars out of their way. It’s not a contest, and surely you cannot be that impatient to get where you are going. You are in Orange, by the way!

THUMBS UP to all the local businesses operators who are doing their best to follow the sometimes-confusing lockdown and re-opening rules set by the state government. It’s mostly the businesses who are facing fines if they allow visitors not to follow the rules, so let’s all respect that.
