War and flooding continue to dominate the news headlines and it’s difficult to take in.

The scale of the flooding is already beyond belief and it appears the rain is not done yet.

For anyone wanting to lend a hand, Orange Ex-Services Club has set up a local Flood Donation Hub where they are collecting donations for Northern NSW flood victims.

The club is hoping to get as many donations as possible before March 18.

After speaking with people in flood-affected areas they are asking for: Coles/ Woolworths vouchers for groceries; Harvey Norman/Kmart/Big W vouchers to help flood victims buy clothing and household items; new blankets, pillows or sleeping bags; feminine hygiene products; baby supplies, cleaning packs and products, canned and non-perishable food and goods; and bottled drinking water.

BLAYNEY, THE LITTLE COUNCIL THAT COULD!

Classic New York-style sambos back on menu in the Colour City They’re a uniquely-American type of sandwich — and expatriate Chase Johnson — is offering them to Colour City locals keen for a classic taste of New York Originally from Alabama, Chase and his wife Natasha are back on the move with their mobile delicatessen sandwich van, “Street Deli Sandwiches”, after being located at the Anglican Church in Anson Street for the past six months.

But with lockdown now over, they’re looking to get their little van out-and-about with their unique variations of some classic American sandwiches.

street names for some of his specials including “The Moulder St” (grilled pastrami and onion, melted cheese, sauerkraut and pickle) and “The Anson St” (grilled ham and salami, onion, cheese, capsicum, and special sauce).

“They’re a particular type of sandwich, known as continental deli-type sandwiches,” he said.

Running their unusual business for about a year, they’ve pluckily managed to come out of the COVID lockdowns as a going concern.

“It’s been nice and steady, we were actually quite busy during lockdown,” Chase said. “But now we want to get back out and be able to move around more, we’re looking to be available at a number of places,” he concluded.

Like many of the Big Apple’s favourites that are named after local landmarks, Chase has used Orange

Blayney Shire is the little Council that could.

Located south-east of Orange and including the historic villages of Millthorpe and Carcoar, they surprised everyone recently taking out the “Rural” category as one of the State’s most progressive councils in the prestigious 2021 AR Bluett Award.

Blayney Shire was announced the winner (along with the City of Canterbury-Bankstown for those based in urban areas) at the Local Government NSW (LGNSW) Special Conference.

The AR Bluett Memorial Award has been awarded annually since 1945 in commemoration of Albert Robert Bluett, who served as the Secretary and Solicitor to the Local Government and Shires Associations of NSW for 30 years.

AR Bluett Awards Trustee Chairman Les McMahon, said the Trust received 14 council applications for the 2021 awards.

“Blayney Shire Council – a small council promoting community partnerships and delivering promised programs on infrastructure in such turbulent times.

“Blayney is small in population and expenditure and has delivered promised programs through partnerships with private enterprise and community because of the effective leadership from council and staff,” he said.

“FREDDIE’S” REVENGE:

ANOTHER WANDERING BITER ON THE LOOSE Just as we thought we’d seen the back of the full-grown and very poisonous Sydney funnelweb spider found by Annie Clarke’s chihuahua in suburban Orange a few weeks’ ago — it’s Freddy’s revenge!

Local Matt from Clifton Grove almost trod on this very alive specimen outside his home a few days ago, eventually trapping the spider in a container late one night.

accidentally transported here on trucks and cars during the warmer months.

“I’m going to call the DPI and see if they want it, I just think it’s important to communicate to locals that we do occasionally get them up here,” Matt said.

While the funnel-web may have plenty of bark to their bite, they can’t shine a light to a local native spider, Missulena occatoria, known as the “red-headed mouse spider”, certainly not so dangerous, but with an odd resemblance to the superhero character, “Spiderman”.

St Patrick was an Englishman, and other Irish eccentricities It’s a great day to be Irish, as the hack-writers say.

St Patrick’s Day (March 17), however, was never a huge event in my IrishAustralian family. We’d “wear the green” and have an Irish stew for dinner, but that was about it.

St Patrick was a British missionary who converted large parts of the island to Christianity in the fifth century from the pagan Celtic religions that had predominated up to then.

For many Irish Republicans, however, the anniversary of the Easter 1916 Uprising — where a brave-butfoolhardy band of revolutionaries and idealists took on the might of the British Army to free the “Emerald Isle” from 300 years of English occupation — is a more meaningful celebration.

For their troubles, the failed rebellion’s leaders were executed, leading to the low-level civil war that eventually saw the English cede independence to the bottom four-fifths of the country. Crucially, however, they maintained the Protestant-majority north as the British province of “Northern Ireland”.

Main street of my mother’s hometown, the village of “Blacklion” in County Cavan, actually forms the physical border between North and South.

IMAGE BY Merian Richardson Autumn at Lake Canobolas, this tranquil shot was captured

by Merian Richardson.

First time I returned in the mid-1980s after having lived there as an infant, I reassured my fiancé that the chances of us being caught in “The Troubles” were greatly exaggerated.

As if to prove me wrong, we crossed the border simultaneously with a British Army Patrol with helicopter overhead and a single line of young

soldiers eyeing us nervously as they cradled lethal-looking rifles across their chests.

It was only a few weeks’ later, that the coach terminus we had hung around for hours at in Enniskillen in Northern Ireland, was bombed by the IRA. After visiting my family’s nowabandoned home, which a group of local children assured us was, “haunted”, something my mother also believed, we stayed the night at a local bed-and-breakfast.

With the owner’s eight children crowded around us, we watched the televised cultural-beauty pageant, “The Rose of Tralee”, complete with entrants from the Irish diaspora as far-afield as Australia, the United States, and Canada.

Every Irish pub seemed to have a portrait of assassinated American President, John F Kennedy, holding pride-of-place behind the bar.

When I asked a publican about this, he said that the Irish viewed America as the land where their people had thrived and prospered. While in Britain, they were still “Paddies”, and “Micks”; manual workers at the bottom of the social scale.

Enjoying our first hurricane perched on the rickety third floor of an old guest-house while staying with family friends at Howth near Dublin, we later purchased a bottle of Baileys Irish Cream as thanks for their overwhelming hospitality.

“What’s this?” they asked as they sipped politely. We answered: “Don’t you know?” presuming it to be an old Irish liqueur. We then read the back of the bottle, “Made in Australia”!

Old Digger Col walking a mile

FOR VETERANS

Royal Australian Navy man and World War II vet, Colin Robinson, has set himself the task of walking 96 kilometres in the month of March to support “Soldier On” and its life-saving mental health support services.

“Soldiering On” — JONATHAN ROE —

I

Col’s on the march to help our veterans soldier-on. t was 77 years ago that a then 17-year-old Colin Robinson embarked on a Royal Australian Navy destroyer to defend his country in its hour of need.

Now just shy of his 94th birthday, Col has set himself the task of walking 96 kilometres in the month of March to support “Soldier On” and its life-saving mental health support services.

Col’s daughter Barbara and other family members are joining him in the “March On” challenge with the 96-kilometre length chosen the same as that for the famous Kokoda Track where the Australian soldiers bravely turned back the invading Japanese in New Guinea.

“I’m certainly not one for ‘notoriety’, if that's the word,” said Col, who would normally prefer to keep a low-profile.

“I've got the rest of the month to do it; I

just do about four or five kilometres a day and I'll get there… I estimate that by the time the month's up, I would have done 124 kilometres. It’s a good way to raise money and it will help somebody, so I'm prepared to do whatever I need.”

Col enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy in 1945, serving three years as part of the occupation forces in Japan. He later “on a whim” reenlisted with the Royal Australian Air Force, where he served eight years.

He has also served in the Army Reserve.

Supporting veteran organisations like “Soldier On” is a cause close to Col’s heart as he himself has battled depression and previously benefitted from the group’s support.

“I think it is something really worthwhile, because I used the service myself,” said Col. “I was ready to call it quits and they came to my aid. It was a couple of years

they used to come out to see me and got me over it. I still get depressed at times, but they got me over the hump, so I know it's a damned good cause and it does help people.

“So when I heard about it, I thought to myself, ‘that's a good idea’ and I volunteered and I pledged $500.”

A resident in Oaktree Village, Col’s neighbours have rallied behind the cause and he has already exceeded his initial fundraising goal.

“The people here have really got behind me,” he said. “At least this will help somebody, so I'm prepared to do whatever I need.”

If you would like to help Col and the lifesaving work of Soldier On, you can donate online at: marchonchallenge.org. au/fundraiser/colinrobinson Soldier On’s mission is to enable serving

and ex-serving veterans and their families to thrive.

Developed in line with world’s-best practice, their services are evidencebased and have been designed in consultation with Defence personnel, veterans, and their families.

Soldier On staff work side-by-side with individuals and families, to strengthen resilience and develop meaningful connections with family members, mates, and the local community through a diverse range of health and well-being services, employment opportunities, learning and education programs, and participation in community, social, and sporting activities.

Grounded in the principles of traumainformed care, Soldier On’s model of care puts individuals and family members at the centre of all their services.

Reconnecting our youth with volunteer mentoring program Now that the pandemic’s over, it’s time to re-engage our youth.

COVID-19 restrictions in all their various manifestations over the past two years, saw many of us become disconnected from society in one form or another.

But a new youth mentoring program in Orange is looking to bring our young back to the fold.

Volunteers in the community are now being sought in this one-on-one buddy program being launched at both Canobolas and Orange high schools.

“It’s re-engaging disengaged youth… they’ll be paired up with a volunteer mentor,” Head Teacher for Wellbeing at Canobalas High, Tristan Goodwin explained.

The program includes comprehensive training and support throughout the term of the project.

“For those interested in re-engaging the students, we have a formal training program. For each session, there is an hour with the students and then an hour discussion afterwards between the group,” Mr Goodwin said.

Anyone who has an interest in helping students in danger of falling through the gaps in the system are encouraged to come forward, he said. “We’re thinking

about industry leaders, sports leaders, parents, or even former students,” he said.

He added that mentoring offers unique benefits not available in other forms of support programs for disaffected youth.

“One-to-one mentoring provides a very holistic approach, informing the future pathways of these students. It encompasses the holistic needs of the child.

“It’s a really good means to reconnect to school life. To reconnect to the school and to themselves,” Mr Goodwin added.

The program is designed to develop in students the coping skills that we all need in these anxious times.

The two local high schools are new partners in the program operated by youth mentoring organisation, Raise Foundation at schools all around Australia.

The group recently announced what it describes as its “evidence-based youth mentoring program” for the first time in Canobolas High School and Orange High School with up to 15 students from each school who will benefit from the Raise early-intervention mentoring program in 2022.

Based in high schools across Australia,

community: “Our team recruits, trains, and screens everyday people to become successful youth mentors, and that is what we’re looking for in each of these school communities.

The positive impact of having a mentor in your life is well-recognised, CEO of Raise Foundation, Vicki Condon (AM), said.

“Right now, our team is recruiting volunteers to be trained to mentor young people at Canobolas High School and Orange High School, who are taking part in our program in 2022.

“When people donate their time to listen, young people learn to cope better with life’s challenges while benefiting from one-to-one support,” she said.

“We evaluate and report on our programs, so we know the positive impact that Raise mentoring has communitywide. The young people who graduate, experience growth in resilience, helpseeking skills, sense of school belonging, and hope for the future.

“One of the strongest predictors of how a child develops in terms of happiness, academic success, resilience, and meaningful relationships, is whether at least one adult has consistently shown up for them.”

Ms Condon is putting a call-out for volunteer support from the local

“The program will run during terms two and three this year, and we provide ongoing support from our local team of Program Counsellors,” she added.

While it’s not a cure-all, one-on-one mentoring does have a high rate of success, supporters say.

“It’s one of a range of suites that we can use to help students become reconnected to their school and community,” Canobolas Principal Brett Blaker said.

“It’s about being reconnected, redeveloping a sense of community,” Head Teacher for Wellbeing at Orange High, Monica Peasley concluded.

Breathing new life back into live music — JONATHAN ROE —

It has been a tough two years for musicians, venues, and live music lovers.

The good news is that, with restrictions now lifted and life slowly returning to normal; pubs and other venues are alive again to the sound of music.

This means that local venue, “Blind Pig” bar-owner, John Vandenberg; couldn’t be happier.

“When the restrictions were on, someone's favourite song would come on. They'd want to get up and dance, and I’d have to pull the ‘ogre stick’ out and say, ‘sit down, you're not allowed to dance’, which I absolutely hated!” John recalls.

“Because our place is particularly about getting up and singing and dancing and having a great time.”

Two years ago, John transformed the Blind Pig from what was then a combination of cafe, restaurant and bar, to a venue focused around live entertainment.

While his bottom line took a hit during the COVID restrictions, it is a decision he hasn’t regretted.

“I decided to just drop the cafe and restaurant side out of it and, ever since then, I've put all my energy and all my money and attention into live music and it's paid off,” he said.

we still did alright, we didn't really make money but we didn't really lose money, thank goodness.

Vic Hotel is an Orange music institution, all about growing original live music and giving people a chance.”

“But now the restrictions have eased, immediately I saw a big increase in numbers and everybody had an absolute ball and the dancefloor and stage were completely full!

After 20 cancelled gigs in the past two years, the “4 on the 4loor” event returned to the Victoria Hotel on Saturday night with their first line-up for 2022.

Hopefully, it will be the end of restrictions for a while.”

For 24 years now, the monthly music showcase has been giving bands the opportunity to, not only get stage time, but play their own original music, something founder Jon Carter has a particular passion for.

Coming out of lockdowns and restrictions, there appears to be an appetite for live music, says Arts OutWest music industry support officer, Patrick Coomey.

“Orange has quite a growing music scene, despite COVID,” said Patrick.

“When music has been able to be performed without restrictions, we have seen almost a return to full capacity at the venues that are doing music.”

But navigating the pandemic has been a bumpy road for venues and musicians.

As a bit of a shot-in-the-arm for the Central West’s live music industry, Arts OutWest has been funding venues to put on local artists, with a particular focus on playing original music.

“It has taken a while — you can't just have one or two goes of these things, you have to persist with it, and we've done that with the live music scene and it has finally paid off!

Their “Live and Kicking” program is funded by the Australian government’s “Live Music Australia” and past gigs at the Blind Pig and Agrestic Grocer have been strongly-supported, showing there is an audience seeking live original music, said Patrick.

“The place is doing okay financially even with the struggles we did have with COVID — we were down 38 per cent for all of January and part of February, but

“That is part of the reason ‘4 on the 4loor’ (a monthly showcase of musical acts in Orange) is part of that ‘Live and Kicking’ program; ‘4 on the 4loor’ at the

MARCH 10 — 16, 2022

“The focus has always been on original music. I just didn't want to have cover bands as such, it is alright to play a cover song, but I prefer original music,” said Jon. “It started as I realised I knew a lot of people who could play, but didn't fit the format of playing in a pub, because they couldn't play for four hours, which is what had to happen. So I came up with the format of a smorgasbord of music, anywhere from three to four, five, six, seven acts just playing short sets. It allows people who otherwise wouldn't have got on the stage the ability to get on the stage.

“And the Vic, I think, is one of the only places that have original bands, most of the pubs might have duos, but the Vic has it covered as far as bands go — and rock music, there's no rock except at the 4loor!”

“4 on the 4loor” actually celebrated its 300th show in December and there will be plenty more to come, said Jon.

“I keep threatening to quit. When we did 301, I thought, ‘that's a good number, I'll stop now’. But no, I have no plans to stop. I'll probably drop dead setting it up one day in the middle of summer!”

Not-for-profit community organisation, JAM Orange have also expanded their music offerings now that venue restrictions have been lifted.

Building on their monthly “Open Mic” nights, in February, they launched their first “Jam Sampler”, a curated showcase gig for local musicians.

“The ‘Jam Sampler’ gives the bands that come through the open mic program, the opportunity to play longer sets and, hopefully, impress the venues and get more work,” said musician and JAM Orange committeemen Mark Welch, who featured on the first Jam Sampler line-up with “The Dougies”.

“The venue gets to see the band and the crowd get to see the band play a longer set. I suppose it’s a step between an open mic and a fully-fledged gig.”

The response to the first “Jam Sampler” was very positive, said Mark and he sees good things ahead for music in Orange.

“We had a great crowd and the venue immediately at the end of it said, ‘Yep, let's do it again!’” said Mark.

“It's good. I think at the moment, all of the venues are very keen and I think people have missed what has always been taken for granted, so when gigs come along there are more people keen to get out and watch as well and musicians keen to play,” he concluded.

Millthorpe Corner Store closes as “Grand” old lodge reopens — DAVID DIXON —

For Millthorpe’s picturesque main street, one door opens, as another closes.

R

ecent demise of its famous “Corner Store” has coincided with refurbishment and reopening of the imposing and historic Grand Western Lodge; directly opposite on Victoria Street.

With COVID-19 lockdowns the culprit in closure of the eclectic combined general store, newsagent, milk-bar, and diner, this key local business looks likely to reopen as a mini-mart.

Which would be good news for the nowthriving tourist town whose main street is again bustling with visitors most weekends, Village Committee member and former head, John Mason said.

“I think it will be a good thing, we’re told it’s been sold already… I hope we’re not without it for long,” John said, adding that the facility provides a vital role for the local

community.

While the traditional general store is a thing of the past in many provincial cities due to extended supermarket hours, for villages such as Millthorpe, they still provide a central service to the elderly, the immobile, and the home-bound, he said.

They also provide an informal meeting place in which locals can catch up with each other, helping to foster a sense of community for many geographicallyisolated residents.

various pandemic quarantines, lockdowns, and travel restrictions had adversely affected its tourist-oriented business sector.

“It’s been hard for the owners, I think with COVID, it’s not just been the decline in custom, but also trouble getting the staff to help run the business, as they didn’t actually live upstairs like previous tenants,” he added.

“For people who don’t drive, mothers with children, pensioners, it’s essential… we just hope that it’s up and running as soon as possible,” he added.

Owners of the business, (but not the building) Sharon and Tim Johnson announced the closure of the store in late February with notices on the butcherpaper covered doors and windows saying: “The last few years through COVID have been tremendously difficult on our business, as it has been for all.

John said however, that Millthorpe as a “strong and resilient community” would pull together after two years in which the

“Through all this, we have taken every avenue to keep our doors open and remain trading for the community of Millthorpe,

unfortunately, this is no longer sustainable,” the letter said.

“Your friendships are our greatest loss and writing this letter brings with it a sadness and loss, which, I am sure the community will feel for some time.”

Meanwhile, Ian Gillings — owner of the restored Grand Western Lodge, once a prestigious hotel, later a group home — intends offering rooms at the heritagelisted facility for medium-stay visitors.

“This will be for those, say, looking for a week's stay for conferences and the like, with breakfast and dinner, and a good bed,” Mr Gillings said. “The beds were still made-up when we came, and we’ve still got the 1864 Stuttgart upright piano,” he concluded.

Haillie’s $1200 haircut for “Wigs for Kids” Not all of us can grow our hair in long, flowing locks; so it’s good to see someone who can, doing so for a good cause!

Orange Anglican Grammar Year 7 student, Hallie Ellice spent two years growing her hair for the “Wigs for Kids” initiative of “Kids with Cancer Foundation Australia”.

On her recent birthday, she fulfilled the pledge she made two long years ago, getting the chop in front of school-mates at lunchtime.

She lost more than 30cm (one foot) of hair that will now go to a special wig-maker who

will create something special for a child in need following cancer treatment.

With the support of the OAGS community, Hallie has also raised more than $1200 to be donated to the Kids with Cancer Foundation along with her locks.

Local hairdresser, Meagan Fitzgerald also donated her time and expertise to lop-off Hallie’s hair for the wonderful charity.

The fundraising page is still open for those who wish to donate, simply go to: Kids with Cancer Foundation and follow the links.

UNDERPROMISE AND OVERDELIVER THE KEY FOR BUSY

Cr Greenhalgh

Councillor Tammy Greenhalgh likes keeping busy.

A

s well as being elected second on Mayor, Councillor Jason Hamling’s ticket in December’s poll, the new Colour City representative has a long record of volunteering with a range of sports and community groups.

“I’m secretary of Bloomfield Junior Rugby League Club; I’ve been sponsorship coordinator for 10 years and junior delegate for the club; I’m on Orange City Cricket Club committee; I volunteer for Ronald McDonald House; and I’m a full-time business development executive in the hospitality industry.”

Cr Greenhalgh has brought this same commitment to her work with Orange City Council; already having been elected as head of Council’s Sport and Recreation Policy Committee and also nominating for half-a-dozen other 355 Committees.

“Absolutely 100 per cent, I have put myself forward and committed myself to serving the community, I would never go in half-hearted,” she said.

Getting Council’s big-spending projects up-and-running is the key to this Council term, she believes.

now on Council, she said that the new Chamber is far more representative of the Colour City.

“The biggest thing is the major projects, the conservatorium, the stadium, the planetarium, these are things that need to be done,” she said.

“It’s statewide, prior to this election, the number of women on local government was about 29 per cent, now it’s 40 per cent… whether it’s working mums or whoever, it’s good to see average people in the community being represented,” Cr Greenhalgh said.

“I’d like to see more family-oriented facilities, indoor playgrounds, facilities for juvenile mental health,” she added.

Having lost her eldest son, Harry, two years’ ago in a freak water-skiing accident, she would also like to see more services for grieving families locally.

“I’m in a group for bereaved parents called ‘Compassionate Friends’; at the moment I go over to Parkes because we don’t have one locally, but there’s a lot of bereaved parents in my community.

“Looking at Ronald McDonald House, the majority of parents there are actually for juvenile mental health and high-risk pregnancies,” Cr Greenhalgh added.

With three women, an Indengenous deputy mayor in Cr Gerald Power, and a disabled doctor in Cr Steve Peterson

MARCH 10 — 16, 2022

She said that being elected on the Mayor’s sports-orientated ticket “came out of the blue” and was probably due to his emphasis on improved facilities for the Colour City.

“I’m family-orientated with two children the same age as Jason’s, so that’s how I became involved,” she explained.

Ultimately, she said that the Council and its individual members will be judged on their performance, rather than their media profile.

“My mother has always been a believer in the idea of under-promising and overdelivering, you don’t make promises you can’t expect to keep.

“I want to get the best for the community, that’s my role.”

She said that a lot of the criticism that seems to be almost a reflex-action for many locals when talking about Council is often due to a misunderstanding of its role.

“To be honest, a lot of it could be down to educating people on how local government operates, even things like the classification of the roads, what’s the responsibility of local government, and what is that of the State Government?

“But, Orange Council generally does a good job. Do you know, we’re only one of the few councils in the State with the Parental Responsibility Act to protect children out in the community? People need to know about this stuff,” Cr Greenhalgh concluded.

FEDERAL MEMBER FOR CALARE NEW $40 MILLION MEDICAL SCHOOL AND RESEARCH CENTRE OFFICIALLY OPEN! It was a wonderful day of celebration for our region, two universities, and medical students as we officially opened the brand new CSU Medical School in Orange.

RUNS ON THE BOARD FOR ORANGE √ $2 billion for Great Western Highway upgrade √ $54 million in water security pipelines around the Central West √ Millions for the raising of Suma Park dam wall at Orange √ $40 million for the new CSU medical school and research centre √ Federal Regional Investment Corporation established and based in Orange √ $10.7 million for the Southern Feeder Road project √ Dept of Infrastructure branch moved to Orange √ $2 million for the Forest Road Bridge duplication √ $900,000 for Orange Anglican Grammar School √ $14.7 million for Mission Australia’s Benjamin Short Grove Aged Care facility √ $100,000 for new stadium seating at Wade Park √ $3 million for a second radiotherapy unit at Orange Health Service √ $10 million for the Orange Conservatorium & Planetarium √ $1.42 million for an upgrade of Clergate Road √ 24 hour rescue helicopter service for Orange and region √ $14 million for highway upgrades between Lithgow and Orange √ $1.25 million for new contemporary and flexible learning spaces at St Mary’s Catholic School √ $1.2 million for CCTV in Orange, Bathurst and Wellington √ 40 mobile phone towers and base stations across Calare

More than a decade ago, there was a vision to establish a local regional medical school to train more doctors for country communities.

Members of our community joined Charles Sturt University to push for a school where country students could train in the bush, for practice in the bush.

The fight was based on the fundamental principle of equality: that country people should have the same access to medical services and medical professionals as people in the city and that country students should have the same access to educational opportunities as their city cousins.

The opposition to the medical school was at times ferocious. Nearly every medical organisation and major university in the country, and also a former Prime Minister, tried to block it. They talked down our local university and our students.

Our campaign was however just and righteous. It was plain for all to see that while the city has lots of doctors, we in the country can’t get enough. The system wasn’t working. While we had the big end of town against us, we had our community (including the mighty CWA!) on side. People from all walks of life came together to support our campaign and to fight to make the school a reality.

This medical school is something that we desperately needed, that was worth fighting for, and something that we were never ever, ever, going to give up on! It was one of those campaigns that took a long time and, for me, it was one of my hardest and toughest fights. But together we made it happen and we got there! The result is a new Medical School that is testament to the power of ideals, dreams and community.

The vision and principles that built the CSU Medical School now rest with each of the talented Aussies enrolled in the first intake of students. I’ve met many of them on numerous occasions. They all have country backgrounds, and a clear idea of what they personally want to achieve, and the role they want to play in the future of regional Australia.

They’re the trailblazers! The first wave of country doctors. More will follow and they’ll follow in greater numbers for generations to come, building country communities and making an enormous contribution to the future of this region and country Australia. It is an honour to have these young Australians training here!

The CSU Medical School is a partnership with Western Sydney University that will be centred on Orange and Bathurst but will reach well beyond. This $22 million CSU Medical School investment comes with a further $18 million for research into country medicine because at the end of the day, this medical school is all about the strength and resilience of our country communities. And as I’ve said, it’s also about equality between city and country.

This is just the beginning! More than 820 students applied for the initial intake of 37 places last year and more than 1000 aspiring medical students applied for this year’s 37 positions. The next task is to expand the number of student places.

I would like to sincerely thank everyone who helped with our campaign in ways great and small. This new medical school shows that our country communities can do anything! Pictured: Andrew with Medical students Miranda Eyb and Jamil Khalfan and CWA members Deborah Marr and Audrey Hardman

FAMILIES BENEFIT FROM HIGHER CHILD CARE SUBSIDY! Quality child care is essential for the growth and vibrancy of our country communities. That is why I am delighted that the Australian Government is increasing the Child Care Subsidy (CCS) for families with more than one child aged five or under in care.

It means out-of-pocket childcare costs will significatly ease for families with multiple children. On average, families will be $2,260 a year better off. The subsidy goes from 85% to 95%.

Because of this vital support from the Australian Government, more local parents can get back to work, volunteering, or take on additional hours if they choose.

For more information, please visit: www.dese.gov.au/child-care-subsidy

BUSHFIRE FUNDING MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES I spent the Christmas Eve of the Black Summer bushfires at Glen Alice in the Capertee Valley supporting firies and community members. It was surrounded by fire on three sides and one thing the Capertee RFS brigade was crying out for during the emergency was a bulk water tanker to support local firies.

After the fires, the RFS wasn’t able to deliver a new tanker, but by working with the local Capertee and District Progress Association we got the job done! The Association was successful in securing funding for a brand new Category 6 water tanker thanks to an Australian Government Black Summer Bushfire Recovery grant of $500,000! It will be a community owned tanker to support firefighting in the district. Bushfire recovery takes years, and this grant builds on numerous previous funding rounds. As an RFS member myself I can say that this state-of-the-art tanker will truly be “the firey’s friend”.

It’s another great example of our communities working together for an outstanding result. The Capertee Brigade and the community could not be happier.

READY, SET, GO! ORANGE RUNNING FESTIVAL A GREAT SUCCESS! I was delighted to attend the Orange Running Festival and officially start the marathon (pictured). It was great to see a mix of elite runners and families getting out there and having fun, despite the weather!

The Orange Mile featured as part of the festival, with Will AustinCray taking out the men’s title with a fantastic time of 4:13!

A huge thank you to the Orange Runners Club and the team of volunteers for working so hard to put on such a wonderful festival.

The event is a fantastic asset to our region.

I’ll have to start training for next year’s event (or maybe not?!)

Tool skills are for everyone — Orange Women’s Shed

E

ven if you don’t see yourself working in a trade, learning to use hand tools is an important life skill for both men and women.

That is certainly the view of Orange Women’s Shed President, Michelle Einsaar, who has been helping women of all ages overcome their hesitation when it comes to getting on the tools.

“The standard husband, wife, and kids isn't standard anymore; there's lots of different blended families and single mums and all that kind of thing. So, just like everyone learns how to cook, I think being able to handle basic hand tools should be a requirement as well,” she said.

“I think it gives ladies a bit of independence and also confidence in talking to tradesmen.

If they have to get a tradesman to the house, they know a bit more of what they are talking

about and, if you go to Bunnings to ask for something, you are not totally clueless as to what you want, so it helps ladies gain confidence.”

Even if you have never picked up a hammer or handsaw before, the Women’s Shed can take you through all the basics.

“Then we go onto drills and other bigger machinery. We teach you how to construct small woodwork projects to practise using those skills, but people also bring chairs from home they want to repair or their cupboard door fell off and we show them how to put that back on — little maintenance issues like that,” Michelle said.

“And of course, there's the social aspect of sitting and having a cuppa and chatting about different jobs you want to do at home or different projects you are working on.”

The Orange Women’s Shed is open every Wednesday and Friday morning.

The goodenough parent with Emily Thompson

“Monday morning” 6.30am: Alarm. Delusional “last night me” thought we might start our new exercise routine today and even thoughtfully laid-out joggers (18-months-old, but with tags still on) and a bottle of water. I turn the alarm off and go back to sleep. I tell myself, “I’ll start tomorrow”.

7.15am: Alarm. I wander towards the kitchen and kiss my (seven and 13-yearold) babies good morning. “How was the walk?” asks a facetious Miss 13. I drink my stupid water and wish it was coffee, and watch Miss Seven stand in front of the pantry trying to choose between unhealthy breakfast choices.

She decides on peanut butter instead

of her usual Nutella because of “her plan”. I choose not to ask any follow-up questions.

7.45am: Miss 13 has had breakfast, fed the chickens, brushed her teeth and hair, made and packed lunch, teased me about how my health kick is going, and got dressed for school. Miss Seven has eaten one-third of one piece of toast.

7.48 am: We call Dad to see how his morning is going. Miss 13 complains that he woke her up with a goodbye kiss as he left the house at 4.50 am to go to work. He apologises sarcastically. She accepts his apology without a hint of irony.

7.56am: I inform Miss Seven that it’s time to finish her one slice of toast and that maybe taking bites instead of licking it would achieve this faster. She asks if we’re running late. “Not yet,” I reply. She looks disappointed.

8.01am: “I’m done!” declares Miss Seven.

“How long did that take?” She beams proudly when I let her know that one slice of toast took her a full 45 minutes.

“Last week you said I spent 38 minutes on a bowl of Weet-bix and I just knew I could eat slower if I tried!” I refuse to congratulate her and send her to get dressed and brush her hair.

8.09am: Miss 13 asks if she can watch, “How to Train Your Dragon” because she’s currently doing an assignment on Vikings. I begin explaining how to find scholarly articles before deciding I’m too tired for this fight this morning and say “sure”. I look forward to reading her HSIE project about “Toothless”.

8.18am: Miss Seven emerges from her room with one half of her hair brushed, her uniform on, but not zipped-up, and purple glitter eyeshadow on. I tell her I thought she could do the zip on her own now. “Yeah, I can. But I’d have to lift my arm so it’s just easier if you do it,” she says once I’m finished. I give up on her hair and send her to brush her teeth.

8.19am: Miss Seven starts applying toothpaste to her brush 8.23am: Miss Seven finishes applying toothpaste to her brush.

8.25am: Miss Seven places a toothbrush in her mouth.

8.28am: Miss Seven turns on her brush and starts brushing her teeth. I splurge and call “Bill’s Beans'' to order coffee, because I truly deserve it this morning and my beautiful in-laws have pre-paid my coffee this month.

They understand what mornings with children are like.

8.48am: Kids at school and I enjoy 10 glorious minutes alone in my car with my coffee before stepping into six hours of work craziness, before picking up the girls and starting Round Two: insisting fruit is the best choice for afternoon tea, followed by homework, and explaining why showering is done daily…

Working parents, I see you and raise my coffee to you. You’re doing great!

COUNCIL AT WORK Tips to prevent elder abuse in Central West towns

Orange City Council invites local residents to share what they love about Robertson Park and what they want improved.

As Central West communities begin to emerge from the isolation felt by elderly residents after the COVID pandemic, a team supported by Orange City Council is taking a warning about how to prevent elder abuse to local towns.

The events will be held at:

The ‘Older, Wiser, Safer’ regional roadshow began a tour of the Central west last week, which continues until 30 March.

Orange Mayor Cr Jason Hamling is encouraging local elderly residents and their carers to attend the events.

“Because there’s a lot of support available to the elderly, more and more people are able to stay in their homes living independent and healthy lives,” Cr Jason Hamling said.

“But, that also means older residents need to learn about safeguards to protect themselves from financial scams. All kinds of problems can be avoided if an elderly person has a Power of Attorney authority in place in case they are unable to make decisions for themselves.”

“These information session will include a number of speakers who can talk about the warning signs of elder abuse to look out for. It’s important for the neighbours of an elderly person to be able to notice the signs and offer some support.”

At each session, a panel of experts will be available over morning or afternoon tea to help local seniors and their family members or carers, understand all these issues with practical information and handy

hints to live a full, happy and secure life.

All sessions are free, plus complimentary morning or afternoon tea, made available through funding from the Ageing & Disability Commission to inject support into local economies. Places are limited, so please book early at Eventbrite or call the Community Services Centre at Orange 6393 8600. https://www.eventbrite. com.au/o/orange-citycouncil-40869476653

Council offers discounted desexing program for cats Orange City Council is holding its annual discounted desexing program to reduce the number of unwanted kittens and stray cats in Orange.

It is open to pensioner concession card holders, who can have their cat desexed for $66 which includes microchipping and registration if needed.

Eligible Orange residents wishing to have their cat desexed should visit Orange City Council’s customer service desk in the Civic Centre, Byng Street, to book and pay for the procedure, which will be carried out at Canobolas Family Pet Hospital.

There is a limit of one cat per household. The desexing program is funded by Orange City Council.

Orange City Council’s Environmental

“In just a couple of years, a pair of cats can produce thousands of kittens, many of which end up with diseases like cat flu and cat FIV [feline immunodeficiency virus]. This can all be avoided by ensuring your cat is desexed,” Cr David Mallard said.

Sustainability Policy Committee Chair, Councillor David Mallard said this was a huge reduction in cost and encouraged pensioner concession card holders to take advantage of the program.

“Desexing has also been proven to have many long-term benefits for a cat’s health and wellbeing, so there is no question that desexing your cat is better for the cat and better for the environment and our local native wildlife.”

HEALTHY PETS: Desexing your pet is better for the overall health and wellbeing of the animal.

MARCH 10 — 16, 2022

Funding is limited and will be allocated on a first-in basis. It is expected to desex about 50 cats in this round of the program.

Council plans to offer a similar program for dog desexing in early May and will notify the community when it is taking bookings.

A focal point of the central business district for more than a century, Robertson Park is a significant element of the city’s cultural heritage and contains many beautiful trees, war memorials, the Country Women’s Association hall, an entrance arbour, a rotunda and the Whitney Memorial Fountain.

Council is working with expert consultants, Betteridge Heritage and Tree Wise Men, to prepare documents to guide the future care and development of the park.

Interested residents and park users can complete a survey on the Orange YourSay site yoursay. orange.nsw.gov.au.

NEWCREST AND ORANGE360 PARTNER TO ESTABLISH NEWCREST ORANGE360 REGIONAL TOURISM EVENT FUND Newcrest and Orange360 are once again partnering to support the local community with the launch of the Newcrest Orange360 Regional Tourism Event Fund worth $150,000 to drive the regional visitor economy.

commented, “Collectively, our region’s major festivals contribute more than $20 million to our visitor economy all of which are inspired, developed and delivered by volunteer community organisations.”

Cadia Valley Operations (Cadia) General Manager, Aaron Brannigan, announced the Newcrest Orange360 Regional Tourism Event Fund is part of Newcrest’s commitment to supporting the local region and its communities.

“Our shared intent is that this fund will support the ongoing success of these festivals and seed fund new events that will build on the existing destination appeal whilst celebrating our sense of place.”

“Through the Cadia Legacy Fund we will invest in a range of events across the tourism industry to drive the visitor economy, strengthening business demand and jobs across the region.”

“Important to the fund’s success will be the spread of events across the calendar year so we are not always attempting to grow tourism in a peak season and that new events will ideally showcase our region’s diverse assets, attractions and experiences across the entire region including our villages.”

“The fund will build on the success of the region’s events and presents the opportunity to expand tourism offerings and position the Orange region as one of the premier tourist destinations in Australia. By collaborating with Orange360, we will ensure a coordinated approach and extend our support to as many events as possible,” Aaron said.

Orange360 General Manager, Caddie Marshall

will help applicants through the process and these will be able to be used for other funding applications with the likes of Orange City Council and Destination NSW. “The partnership will provide support to community organisations through the application process, access to feedback from industry experts, and create a better framework for future regional tourism event success,” Aaron added.

There will be two rounds of applications with round 1 closing on Friday 11 March and round 2 closing on Wednesday 20 April. Further details can be found on Cadia’s website – https:// www.cadiavalley.com.au/site/communitypartnerships.

Newcrest Orange360 Regional Tourism Event Fund applications will be lodged via the Newcrest website with two more rounds of funding available this financial year.

Advanced Care Directives Make Yourself Heard!

When meeting with clients for their testamentary affairs, we often end up talking about what is to happen if they become ill or have an accident and discuss Advance Care Directives, sometimes called Living Wills; here are some frequently asked questions (Part 1 of 2): Advance Care Directives, What are they?

Sometimes called a ‘living will’ (but not to be confused with a testamentary Will), an Advance Care Directive is a statement of your wishes and values which need to be considered before medical treatment decisions are made on your behalf. This can be a written record of your preferences for future care. It can state your beliefs and values, directions about care and treatment.

Do I need one?

Imagine you are a patient in an intensive care unit in hospital. In the middle of the ward is a table. Around the table are your doctors, nurses, a social worker and perhaps your enduring guardian, they are discussing you and are making decisions about you. You are not able to be at the meeting; you are in bed, unable to communicate.

With an Advanced Care Directive (ACD), you can effectively put yourself at the table and enter the discussion. You can let those people know what they need to consider when they make decisions about you, taking into account your concerns, values, beliefs and preferences. You are heard at the meeting.

I already have an Enduring Guardianship document; do I need an Advance Care Directive? Is this different from an Enduring Guardianship?

They are two different documents. The Enduring Guardianship is governed by legislation and is the legal document which gives the appointed person (or people) power to make health and lifestyle decisions.

Your ACD includes the ‘nitty gritty’, details of your thoughts, beliefs, values, preferences and wishes about treatment, care arrangements, refusal of treatment and end of life planning.

Contact Geraldine or Deirdre at It is not used for financial decisions; that document is a Power of Attorney. Neither is the ACD any part of your Will (despite Blackwell Short on 02 6393 9200 or the fact it is sometimes called a living Will). The Advance Care Directive forms vary between states and territories. Your bsl.reception@blackwellshort.com.au solicitor and doctor can assist you with an ACD document. In NSW there is currently no legally prescribed form of ACD. This article does not constitute legal advice and provides general information only.

Together; let us explore the stars!

— JONATHAN ROE —

On a warm autumn day in Houston, Texas, in 1962, US President John F Kennedy gave a speech to a 40,000-strong crowd at the local university football stadium that has resonated around the globe ever since.

“We choose to go to the moon,” he declared. And just seven years later, the remarkably-youthful team at Mission Control — a surprising number of whom had witnessed and were inspired by Kennedy’s speech that day — celebrated as Neil Armstrong took his “one small step” on the moon.

The race to the moon and subsequent Apollo missions fired imaginations the world over and drew a generation’s gaze up to the stars.

Among them was Bathurst astronomer and high school science teacher, Ray Pickard. Although too young to remember the moon landing itself, he believes it was those early days of humanity’s venture into space, that sparked a life-long passion for astronomy.

“They'd advertise in the paper that you could head-outside and watch spacecraft go over and wave to the astronauts on their way to the moon, and that meant learning some of the constellations, where you'd see the spacecraft… so I guess my desire and liking of space grew from there,” said Ray. Twenty-two years ago, Ray’s desire for dark night skies saw him move from his home in Blacktown to Bathurst, where he set up the Bathurst Observatory Research Facility.

But as Bathurst’s population grew, the suburbs began to encroach on the observatory site, and Ray found the skies in 2017 were no longer as dark as they once had been.

“The housing developments and increasing light pollution meant that a few years ago, I had to search for a different site, so I pulled everything apart and moved it up to Billywillinga (about 25 kilometres north-west of Bathurst) where it's slowly reopening and being rebuilt,” he said.

Even hunting for the new site took about a year of research, according to Ray, who needed a property that met all the criteria like being above Bathurst’s prevalent fogs, on a nice ridgeline, and with a darkenough sky.

The relocation of the observatory was finally complete in early 2020 but, with COVID lockdowns and restrictions, it is only now that Ray has managed to move his meteorite collection and open the new onsite museum for visitors.

“I've spent quite a number of years identifying, classifying, and doing a whole lot of public education on meteorites and it’s probably what I'm best known for,” said Ray, who has at least 200 unique meteorite specimens on display.

Last year, Ray was recognised for his work

...It’s a hobby where I can share the sky with others, that’s the main goal... in the field and actually had an asteroid named after him by the International Astronomical Union.

The meteorite museum is still not fully complete as COVID restrictions and, more recently, cloudy skies, have limited the running of tours which provides income for the observatory. Although it is more of a hobby that helps pay its way than a commercial venture, Ray added.

“It’s a hobby where I can share the sky with others, that’s the main goal. I'm a teacher and so spend a lot of time teaching and I think that desire to teach people spread over to the astronomy side as well, and into meteorites, and I just love sharing my knowledge of the sky with people,” he explained.

Generally, if the skies are clear, Ray runs

tours at the Bathurst Observatory on Friday and Saturday nights. For a donation to the observatory, you can look at planets and nebulas through one of Ray’s telescopes or bring along your own equipment.

“We are moving towards holding some specialised classes coming up. So there will be classes on photographing the night sky and how to use your telescope better,” said Ray, who believes the wider interest in all things space is still as strong as it was in the Apollo Mission days.

“I think that people today are actually more interested because there are a whole lot of things up there like satellites and the International Space Station that people spot and wonder what they are, then turn to the internet to find out what it is they're actually seeing,” he said.

“So more and more people are appreciating what we have up there in the sky and are asking questions and wanting to learn more.”

PaulTIERNEY SOMETHING FOR NOTHING? “There’s always a catch”, they say. Well, maybe not.

Unless you’ve been under a rock during COVID times (understandable, yes), then you’ll have heard, or have immersed yourself in, the latest craze sweeping the globe. No, not Tik Tok, not yo-yo’s, or hula hoops, or even a fad diet. It’s an internet game called Wordle. Fun, very addictive, educational, and most importantly, free.

Yeah, I know, you don’t believe it.

Nothing is free, you say, there’s always a catch. There’ll be pop-up ads whilst you’re playing, that you can ‘get rid of’ by paying a buck or two (then they’ve got your details). Nope, it appears that’s not the case. Well, you’ll have to sign up, give them your email address, and then you’re bombarded with stuff through your feed. Or, worse, your details become an open gateway to scammers and losing your life savings.

Negatory, I’m pretty sure. NO signup. NO email or phone number, NO credit card needed.

A bit of reading has told me the guy who invented this game, did it out of pure love for his partner. Just for her. She got right into word games during pandemic times, so he made her a special one. Then, she loved it so much, she showed her friends, then they showed others. So, he went public with it last October. Boom, viral.

From 90 players a day in November to maybe three million or so, now the net said at the start of February, but if you know how ‘exponential’ works, I’m thinking waaay more now. His name is Josh Wardle (that’s why it’s called ‘Wordle’, nice), and as I said, he did it for love, not money. I’m sure his skills in this area see him making a handsome quid anyway, but there appears to be no cost to us at all. No cost, bar the stress and competition of solving the puzzle each day.

20 ORANGE CITY LIFE

|

For those who don’t know the game, just google ‘Wordle’ (it’s not an app, remember) and you’ll get it, or go to the website ‘Power Language’. There’s a new five-letter word to guess each day, and you’ve got six chances to solve. You have to just guess a first word – for example, a good first guess might be ‘raise’ – it has three vowels and two popular consonants. Each letter you’ve got in the right position will go green, and each other letter that’s correct, but in the wrong spot, will go yellow. Else, they go grey.

Once you’ve guessed it, it’ll let you share your victory with others by showing them a shell of your progress, without revealing the words. Very clever.

A sidelight to this great story is the guy who owns the rights to a different five-year-old internet App called Wordle! that nobody had shown interest in. His name is Steve, and he accidentally made a motza, as people searched for the new Wordle game via the App stores, and then paid a buck or two to download this old thing, before realising it wasn’t what they wanted (this old thing had ads and add-ons that you would pay for). So, he got together with Josh, and they invested all the money in making an online program called Boost, which is an afterschool tutoring and mentoring program. It’s been very successful in helping lots of kids so far, and the rest they say, is history. So, yes, believe it or not, some things ARE free, and there ARE some good guys left in the world.

But … free? Well, my wife smugly takes it out of my hide each day she manages to solve it in less turns than me, so I’m suggesting you take it seriously each time you play. Apologies if you end up hooked after reading all this.

Don’t try ‘wince’, ‘knoll’, ‘perky’ or ‘shard’, they’ve already featured.

Have fun. PT.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

Death of two cricket legends As an avid cricket fan, I am still coming to grips with the death of cricket legends, Shane Warne and Rod Marsh. Both carved out a slice of wonder in the eyes of the Australian public. As a child growing up in the late 1990s–early 2000s, I saw the Australian cricket team in their golden days.

Each summer brought with it a sense of wonder as these champions fought for a piece of glory. Whenever “Warney” had the ball in his hands, you knew something special was going to happen. I remember crowding around the television with my extended family during the Boxing Day Test in 2006 when he claimed his 700th wicket.

For a room of 20 people, we sure made some noise. What was it about Shane Warne that captured our imagination? Was it the raw talent? The larrikin attitude? His diet as an elite athlete? Whatever it may be, we are all in shock that his life has been taken away so suddenly.

Any death is a tragedy. Anytime someone’s life is ended prematurely, it is so sad. It is times like this that we are reminded in such stark ways of our own mortality. Death is the one common experience of humanity.

We may have different experiences, challenges, joys, and sorrows throughout our journey through life, but all of us face death.

Yet for something that is a universal part of the human experience, it is something that we give little or no thought to.

I’ve always wondered why this is. Is it

because we are afraid? Is it because we just have no category to process our own mortality? In the classic Australian TV series, Sea Change, Max Connors (played by William McGuinness) is suffering the loss of his wife, Elena.

When asked by Laura Gibson (played by Sigrid Thornton) if he needs any help, he rambles a list of the ways different cultures process the reality of death with his classic dry sarcasm. As Laura walks away, aware that he is not ready to talk, he calls out: “Laura, I’d howl at the moon if I thought it would help.”

It is a deeply-moving scene that explores the way in which we struggle to process the reality of death. So is there any comfort in death, or any hope that can be offered?.

This is what gets to the heart of the Christian message.

Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, death has been defeated. Not in the sense that there is no longer any death, but in that, there is a real and certain hope given in the face of it. In 1 Corinthians 15:55, when speaking about the heart of the Christian message, it says this: “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?” Jesus defeated death at the cross.

He took the sting out of its tail, so that anyone who trusts in Jesus, does not need to fear death because Jesus gives life that goes beyond the grave. That is a deeplycomforting truth. It is a truth that keeps me going as I look around and see the sting of death affect our world in so many ways.

So, as you process the death of these sporting legends, maybe take a moment to think about death, and what it means for you.

FUNDING FOR HISTORIC DUNTRYLEAUGE The Duntryleague mansion is an iconic building and landmark in Orange. The historic building was solidly built back in the day, but even so it’s nearly 150 years old and needs some maintenance. I was pleased to give Dutryleagure Mansion Foundation Chairperson John Cook some welcome news, announcing $20,000 in funding towards restoration of the wooden verandah thanks to the NSW Government’s 2021 Community Building Partnership program. Congratulations!

Opening

Donato’s Diary I’ve had a busy couple of weeks and with further easing of restrictions I have enjoyed being able to get out and about in the community again.

Over the weekend I participated in the Orange Running Festival, which attracted over 1500 registered competitors this weekend – making it one of the flagship events on the Orange sporting calendar. Men, women, boys and girls of all ages and abilities took part. I ran the 21.1km half marathon as part of Orange local Glenn Atkinson’s ‘Running for Premature Babies’ Team.

Achieving my personal goal of completing my first half marathon race in just over 1 hour and 56 minutes which I was rapt with. This event is great for the community and local economy - and a whole lot of fun as well! Thanks to everyone involved who assisted in hosting the event, Festival committee members, Orange Runners Club, RFS, local council, and the many local sponsors without which we wouldn’t have an event.

Last Friday I attended the official opening of the School of Rural Medicine which is a Charles Sturt University and Western Sydney University joint initiative aimed at rebalancing the medical workforce and bettering health outcomes for those in regional and rural areas.

Notice of MotioN

RURAL HEALTH PETITION

During my time in Parliament Sitting Week I delivered a Notice of Motion to the House regarding the Housing crisis in Regional NSW. Orange is ranked 8th in regional areas of highest housing need. The social housing wait time in Orange is between 2 and 10 years, and there are currently 258 applications on the waiting list. There is a housing rental shortage in Orange, resulting in families being displaced or homeless. I called on the Government to invest in new social housing stock and expedite the implementation of strategies to deliver affordable housing for Orange and broader regional New South Wales.

Rural and regional health has declined under city centric management and metropolitan bias. NSW needs a stand-alone department of rural health, and my parliamentary colleague Dr Joe McGirr is sponsoring an ePetition. Rural, remote and regional New South Wales faces unique challenges in both the provision and accessing of health care. This petition calls on the government to establish a department of rural health to safeguard and increase rural health services and provide the rural health workforce that communities need on the ground. I’d encourage you all to support this petition by following the below link and e-signing it. https://bit.ly/3sLjKfg

“I'm here to serve”: Reality of a career as a pharmacist — BY STEPH ALLEN —

As the world looked towards preventative measures to tackle the pandemic, pharmacists were inundated with demand for masks, RATs, and vaccination appointments.

The choice to pursue a career as a pharmacist is one not only about developing trust with customers but also helping them find relief.

Blooms The Chemist Orange owner, Melanie Moses has been a pharmacist for 11 years and an owner for more than nine.

“I love that pharmacy enables me to help people every day, and I find learning about health and finding solutions really fascinating,” she said.

To become a pharmacist, one must graduate with a Year 12 HSC certificate, complete a four-year Bachelor of Pharmacy, and a one-year internship upon graduation, before undertaking registration exams to become fully registered.

As a career heavily involved in working with people, “empathy and compassion” are a must.

“Particularly as many people who come to see us may be feeling vulnerable or confused,” Melanie said.

“Being highly ‘detail-orientated’ is also an essential quality, to ensure you’re delivering to the highest professional industry standard.

“A love for problem-solving and great communication skills, will also ensure you’re successful as a pharmacist.”

As a community pharmacist, Melanie has developed trust with her customers after making connections with generations of families.

“It’s the best feeling, when you’re able to use your expertise to recommend a solution to someone and improve their situation,” she said.

“It’s so rewarding, when people come back to let you know it’s made a positive difference for them or that it meant a lot to them that you were available, even just

to listen and be there for them.

“I also really love running a business and all that that entails, building the right team, developing our team culture, seeing their successes and accomplishments.

“We’ve also recently been announced as a ‘2022 Pharmacy of the Year’ Finalist; it’s really gratifying to be recognised in this way.”

However, the rewarding career is not without its challenges.

“At times it can be a very stressful profession. Pharmacists often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to ensure we’re meeting multiple priorities and strict professional regulations,” Melanie said.

“Because we do care about people and their outcomes, it can take a lot of emotional energy.

“You have to show up every day with a real ‘I’m here to serve’ mentality.”

“The initial surge in demand for certain products and being the first point-ofcontact for a lot of people when they’re sick, when they need advice; it put a lot of pressure on pharmacy teams over the past two years,” Melanie said.

“But being asked to support the national COVID-19 vaccination program, really made it clear that pharmacists are one of the most accessible healthcare professionals, and are essential to the delivery of healthcare for individuals and the community.

“Pharmacy is such an incredibly rewarding career; it’s given me endless opportunities to combine my passions and really make a difference. I can’t imagine being anything other than a pharmacist,” Melanie concluded.

Hook wants to change the way we do politics — BY STEPH ALLEN —

❚ Kate Hook is running as an independent candidate for the seat of Calare.

Independent candidate for Calare, Kate Hook looked at what the future held for her children, and was worried.

“After raising four children, I’m concerned about the future they are facing, and that the state of politics in Australia currently is not fit for purpose to deal with our biggest challenges and to make the most of our great opportunities,” she said.

“I can no longer stand on the sideline and watch yet another electoral cycle of inaction.

“As an independent, I am free to put communities and truth first, without the

it affects them.”

The Borenore local has joined the campaign trail against sitting MP, Andrew Gee, with her main focus ensuring Calare is no longer “taken for granted as a ‘safe seat’”.

Some of the issues Ms Hook has become aware of include strong regional economies, regional health care access, climate management and planning that looks after farmers, rivers, and funded and equitable education opportunities.

“I want to see trust restored in our political leaders after years of poor leadership, and poor performance by the government in many areas of critical importance for our health, well-being, economy and environment,” Ms Hook said.

“I would ensure that party politics, unduly influenced by big donors, does not get in the way of good, evidence-based policy.”

Looking towards nationwide changes in politics, Ms Hook cited the project “Voices for Calare” which provides citizens with a platform to voice concerns via: “kitchen table conversations”.

“For many, this was the first time they had the opportunity to talk about politics or about issues that matter to them,” she said.

“I've continued this in my campaign, travelling to different towns and villages and listening to the people who live there.

...What needs to change in politics is truth, evidence and community needs coming first, before a politician’s own career, party factions and the need to follow a party line...

“If we can have more independents in parliament, who are there to truly represent their communities, respect and consider their opinions, who can judge each issue on its merits and constantly communicate their position back to their voters, people will feel more connected to their representative and have more certainty about the political environment as

This year the group — designed to make newcomers welcome to the Colour City — will celebrate their 48th Birthday on Thursday April 7, with a lunch and fashion parade, organised by the “Two Fat Ladies” boutique at Duntryleague Golf Club.

“What needs to change in politics is truth, evidence and community needs coming first, before a politician’s own career, party factions and the need to follow a party line,” she said.

“I have not been a typical ‘career politician’... but bring real-life experience to the role.

“As a female candidate, I want to inspire younger women and girls to consider representing their communities.

The Club meets at Duntryleague Golf Club at 11am on the second Thursday of the month.

“We need to bring more gender equity to the parliament, so more female candidates being elected as representatives will be a great start.”

HISTORYTALKING

with Helen McNulty

s y a d i l o h r e Summ

“When the merry bells keep ringing, May your every wish come true.

May the calendar keep bringing Happy holidays to you.”

Our summer holidays have been a bit different for many people this year with the threat of the virus hanging over us and travel restrictions stopping many of us from going very far afield. But it’s fun to look back at the carefree days of our youth when holidays were much simpler.

When Irving Berlin wrote the above lyrics, he was probably thinking of snowy Christmas holidays with sleigh bells and roaring log fires and hot drinks to keep out the cold.

But that is in the northern hemisphere where Christmas holidays are in the depths of winter; when the sun sets in the early a ernoon, the mornings are dark and freezing, and the countryside is bunkered-down for a long, cold, miserable wait for spring.

On the other side of the world, when we finally say goodbye to Santa and all the Christmas trimmings, we have the whole of summer in front of us and can look forward to months of long, hot days, mostly clear blue skies, and the wonderful ear-piercing sound of the cicadas.

Of course, we do have a few hazards like bushfires and drought and flooding rains, but very li le can spoil the enthusiasm we feel for long, lazy days on the beach, listening to the cricket, surfing, and swimming and just enjoying doing nothing.

“We stayed at Mosman and the magic city lights — the lights on the streets and on the ferries, the moving traffic and the picture theatres held us spellbound.

was the thought expressed by Joan, who grew up with the beach on her doorstep and remembers wonderful summers of swimming, sun-baking, and fishing.

“We loved stopping to listen to people singing or playing the mouth organ at Circular Quay. My mother was shocked when she discovered that my brother and his friend decided to do the same thing at Mosman — singing while I went from door-to-door collecting coppers to buy buns with icing on top.

Guesthouses were popular with those who wanted and could afford a more luxurious holiday and the Blue Mountains was o en the preferred destination. The pre y railway stations with colourful gardens (which we see today on the trip down the mountains) were there to a ract the tourists who in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s flocked in their thousands to enjoy the healthy, invigorating climate, and the entertaining social life offered by the guest houses.

“We were fascinated by the trams, going to the Zoo, or on a ferry to the Quay for tuppence. The hot bubbling tar on the footpath just asking us to burst them, the tall buildings and the escalators and the li s which we used to think were moving rooms!”

Many country families took the opportunity to escape the heat in the long school holidays by visiting the coast.

Travelling by car in those unrestricted days was quite an adventure. I well remember packing four boys and a dog, together with our holiday equipment, into a fairly ancient station wagon for the long journey to the beach. Seatbelts were non-existent of course, so there was no restraining the activity in the back seat. But when we began the long climb up Victoria Pass, the old car began to boil, so the boys and the dog were forced to walk up the mountain to lighten the load.

Needless to say, we all breathed a sigh of relief when the interminable journey was over!

Families camped in conditions that might be considered primitive by today's standards.

But was it always like this?

Margaret grew up in the dusty western township of Gulargambone in the 1920s. Her father kept the general store and the bright lights were very far away. However, once a year her mother would have to spend time in Sydney visiting warehouses for the business and this gave her children a wonderful opportunity to see the amazing sights of the city.

“Going down to the big smoke and travelling in the train was an adventure in itself,” Margaret told us.

Others rented beach co ages, most of which were by no means luxurious. Many were li le more than shacks but, as children, we revelled in the bare wooden floors which became more sandy as the holiday progressed and we slept soundly on the iron bedsteads with threadbare ma resses, o en on the open verandah, where the mosquitoes could feast on us all night.

We could run down to the beach and spend all day in the sea. And, when we tired of that, we hopped over the burning sand and stretched out on it, our bare skin protected by nothing except perhaps a li le coconut oil.

Of course, not everyone went away during those long school holidays.

Russel, who grew up on a property near Warialda, went to boarding school, but during the vacation, he was given freedom which is probably not enjoyed by children today.

When he was about nine, he and his brothers would camp on a hill on the property about two miles from the house and stay there for two or three days.

As long as they lit a fire at night, which fortunately could be seen from the house, his mother knew they were safe.

Russel assured the rather horrified group that being bush kids, they were thoroughly drilled in the dangers of fire and how to control it.

Monica, who also lived in the bush near Eugowra, told us about the games she and her siblings played a er the chores were done.

“We had a li le school on our property, but when it shut for the holidays, one of the games we played was, would you believe it: “Schools!”

Those long lazy days could be filled with reading, treeclimbing, bike-riding, swimming in the waterhole or creek, or even lying on your back on the ground and gazing at the changing pictures the clouds made. In fact — just doing nothing!

Have we lost that art in the frenzied world we live in today? Let's hope not.

Movie Review:

The Batman

By Aaron Taylor The Batman stars Robert Pattinson as Bruce Wayne, who becomes “the batman” in the night. When the criminal who calls himself The Riddler leaves cryptic clues around the city, Batman also tag-teams with Selina Kyle, the burglar known as Cat Woman to track down secrets about mob boss Carmine Falcone and villain The Penguin.

GRIGORYAN BROTHERS

this is us Acclaimed guitarists Slava and Leonard Grigoryan bring a unique and powerful multi-sensory show This is Us: a musical reflection of Australia to the Orange Regional Conservatorium of Music.

Counted amongst the finest musicians of their generation, in This is Us the brothers have created a suite of music inspired by objects personally selected from the National Museum of Australia’s vast collection tracing Australia’s diverse and complex history.

An ancient piece of ochre, convict love tokens and Sir Donald Bradman’s bat are among the items used as inspiration. The evocative nature of each of the 18 compositions is heightened by the projection of a high-

definition 3D video of the relevant object.

Incorporating all their influences from classic alto jazz and contemporary music, performed on a variety of guitars (electric, eight-string tenor ukulele, 12 string and classical), this is a chance to see and hear the Grigoryan Brothers like never before.

This Is Us is also a personal declaration from Slava and Leonard, that this music, composed during lockdown with each living in different states, is a new direction for them. While they have included original compositions within programs in the past, this is the first time they will be performing an entire program of original works.

John Neylon: A Tale of Two Studios: Hans Heysen and Nora Heysen

Join arts writer, critic and curator John Neylon as he delves into the story of iconic Australia artists Hans and Nora Heyson.

The Hans Heysen story of the artist who opened Australians’ eyes to the beauty of the bush and inland, is well known. More recently, his daughter, Nora, has stepped out of the shadows of her father’s reputation to claim her own place within Australian art as the first woman to be appointed an Australian war artist and to win the Archibald Prize, and as an artist in her own right. This lecture traces a unique story of two creative journeys separated by an independence of spirit but linked by a love of art.

Lecture will be held at The Orange Conservatorium of Music, 73A Hill Street, on Tuesday, March 15th.

Drinks and nibbles from 6pm, lecture from 6.30pm.

This film was better than I thought it would be. This is not only the best DC film I've seen, but also the best Batman film ever since The Dark Knight was made. Also, I forgot to mention, this is the longest Batman film to date, as the runtime of this film is three hours.

I love the grimy and dark aspects of Gotham City, and it’s everything I want in a Batman movie. I love Gothic vibes, and this has it.

Robert Pattinson is fantastic as Batman. I love the lurking in the darkness, and I love that they finally made Batman the best detective in live-action.

The Riddler was the most terrifying villain – the way he plans these clues and riddles around the city really kept me in suspense.

And while we're talking about villains, Colin Farrell is unrecognisable as The Penguin, he looks like a very different person.

In conclusion, this is the best Batman version I've seen in a long time. I think the fans will have a great time, and I'm giving this one a 10/10.

St Pat’s Old Boys crowned 2022 Bonnor Cup champions — by ANTHONY BARBAGALLO — Bathurst’s St Pat’s Old Boys are the 2021/22 Bonnor Cup champions. This means that, unfortunately, after Rugby Union’s triumph last season, the prestigious Royal Hotel Bonnor Cup will be heading to Bathurst for a second consecutive year after St Pat’s Old Boys pulled off a famous nine-wicket victory against Orange Cavaliers last Friday at Wade Park. This allowed the Bathurst heavyweights to claim their second Bonnor Cup title in the competition’s history. The Cavaliers' underwhelming performance seems to have left the competition's mostdecorated club reeling.

Following the victory over Orange City in the semi-final, there were high expectations for the Cavs (this season’s first-grade leaders) to lift their second Bonnor Cup title in three years. But despite being the firm favourites in the big dance, a seeminglyunderestimated St Pat’s Old Boys team once again proved why they are recently turning into one of the Central West’s formidable cricket clubs.

With Cavaliers electing to bat first, the maroon-and-greys struggled to display the typical batting prowess that has earned them significant silverware success over the years. Instead, the Cavs’ batting struggles came down to the fast and exceptional bowling from all of St Pat’s bowlers, placing the visiting side in a prime position before going in to bat.

After bowling out the Cavaliers’ star batsmen, the Bathurst side then backed up their tremendous display with some aggressive and effective batting. It only took three St Pat's star batters to reach the 85-run target, losing just one wicket in the 11.2 over run-chase. Thanks to Andrew Brown (42-not-out) including six fours, the St Pat’s hero sent the Cavs’ bowlers into a meltdown.

The Cavaliers may have been less-than-optimal with their batting, but their bowlers also struggled on grand final night.

As a result, Cavs will quickly need to regroup for the upcoming Bathurst Orange Inter-District Cricket competition finals as the decorated side chases another historic trophy.

St Pat’s Old Boys however performed exceptionally well throughout the 2021/22 Bonnor Cup campaign. By winning Orange City’s pool, eliminating last year's winners Rugby Union, and beating the mighty Cavaliers in the grand final, the 2022 champions are proving to be a “Robin Hood” side.

Orange City and the Cavaliers in the end both failed to end Bathurst's recent dominance in the Bonnor Cup, so it’s going to take something special from any Orange cricket team to break this trend.

St Pat’s Old Boys 127 defeated Orange City 87

It’s crunch-time for the Bathurst Orange Inter-District Cricket competition. Only one regular round remains with several sides still scrambling to capture the fifth (and last) final’s spot. Before play, all the teams observed one-minute's silence to honour the memories of former Test stars, Rod Marsh and Shane Warne.

Centrals travelled to Bathurst to take on ninth-placed Centennials Bulls at Morse Park. With the Bulls out of the finals equation, Centrals were still in the hunt for fifth place and the last finals spot.

Coming off an impressive victory against CYMS in Round 13, Centrals were aiming to salvage their campaign with another win against a struggling Centennials Bulls outfit.

Batting first, the Orange side gained firm control of the game with impressive consistency from star batsmen Adam Shepherd, Cameron Rasmussen and Daryl M Kennewell.

But the Bulls’ star batsmen, Kyle Aubin countered and humbled Centrals with an emphatic century.

While it looked like the Centennials Bulls were about to go on an impressive run, Centrals averted the threat with fast and aggressive bowling. As a result, the visiting side beat the Bulls by 38 runs, taking all six points back to Orange and keeping their slim hopes for the last finals spot alive.

Centrals 7/231 defeated Centennials Bulls 8/193 Having won the Bonnor Cup the previous night, a confident St Pat's Old Boys returned to Orange the following day to face Orange City at Wade Park. The match had all the ingredients of a grand final, with both teams locked in the top-four and separated by just one point.

At first, the Bathurst side seemed to show signs of fatigue early on in the batting proceedings. Some cheap errors and superb bowling from Orange City’s Andrew Rutledge kept St Pat’s Old Boys at bay. However, St Pat’s Connor Slattery and Bailey A Brien calmly settled the visiting side into the match by hitting several fours.

Despite Orange City’s star bowler Edward Morrish claiming 4/22, St Pat’s effectively countered with their own accurate bowling. An average batting display by Orange City, and some fine bowling from St Pat’s, helped the visitors claim a 40-run victory and secure third-spot in the standings.

After failing to win the Bonnor Cup on Friday, the Cavaliers immediately shifted their focus to the BOIDC cricket competition. The maroonand-grey were taking on last-placed CYMS with an opportunity to lift the team’s morale before the upcoming finals.

However, a washed-out match resulted in a draw. The Cavaliers still secured the minor premiership with one game to spare, while the three points for CYMS means the greenand-gold jump into ninth spot in the standings.

with ANTHONY BARBAGALLO

asserting their dominance at the summit of the Men’s Division 4.

Boys High School Division 5 As the season’s end in the Boys High School Division 5 approaches, numerous sides are left fighting for a shot at winning the competition.

Waveriders (6th) faced last-placed Kinross Pacers in one of the earlier fixtures. This contest demonstrated to be tighter than Waveriders had anticipated, causing numerous offensive and defensive headaches for the higher-placed team. Despite the bravery and skill shown by the Kinross Pacers, the Waveriders ended up prevailing with a 26-20 victory.

Last Saturday, the Orange Vipers hosted the Goannas in round four of the WWRL at Pride Park, Waratahs Sportsground.

In another 4.20pm game, The Blayney Buckets (competition leaders) fancied their chances of securing another dominant victory.

Their seventh-placed opponents, KWS Yr 6 Boys, were no match for the Buckets’ shooting and passing superiority. The Blayney Buckets ran away with a 42-9 win, extending their lead at the top of the division.

Winless from three rounds, a desperate Orange Vipers recorded their first victory of the competition after beating a tough Goannas team. Despite going into the halftime break 20-10 down, the Vipers displayed tremendous depth and character to muster an impressive comeback in the second half. By showing more creativity in attack and tightening-up at the back, the Vipers scraped through with a narrow two-point victory, 28-26.

The 5.10 pm clash between fifthplaced United Suns and secondplaced OAGS Heat showcased some high-octane basketball for the spectators. Both sides were throwing counter-attacks at each other, making it difficult for either side to establish a foothold in this battle. But due to the OAGS Heat boasting more offensive firepower in the reserve tank towards the latter stages of the game, the top-two side edged out a 31-20 victory.

Basketball action: Men’s Division 4 The race for victory in this season’s Basketball Men’s Division 4 is heating up for the top contenders.

A top-two battle between Fil Aus Ballers and the Blue Fakers is currently taking place, potentially setting up a thrilling finish in this highly-competitive division.

Last Thursday, division leaders Fil Aus Ballers faced Phocas Plumbers, with the third-placed team eyeing an upset. In light of Phocas Plumbers' recent fine form, the slight underdog had high expectations to put up a decent fight against the leaders.

The Fil Aus Ballers, however, were able to prevent their opponents from profiting from any aggression.

Some precise three-point execution and dominant ball possession overwhelmed the Phocas Plumbers, prohibiting them from countering with offensive plays. Fil Aus Ballers eventually cruised to a 51-9 win, MARCH 10 — 16, 2022

A top-four battle between Kinross Nets and Ballerz saw an entertaining display in the final game of the evening. With both sides looking to cement top-four status and edge closer to the competition leaders, the tight contest ended up going the game’s length. While Kinross Nets dominated the twopointers, Ballerz countered the threat with emphatic three-point shots. In the end, Kinross Nets lost this close encounter in one of the major upsets in round 13 of the competition.

Orange Running Festival Despite tough wet weather conditions over the weekend, the 2022 Westfund Health Insurance Orange Running Festival attracted a great turnout. There were plenty of talented runners taking part in the two-day running festival.

— by ANTHONY BARBAGALLO — This Saturday, March 12, Waratahs Sports Club will host Orange City’s 19th Invitational Rugby 10s tournament. However, competition organiser and Orange City Rugby Club life-member, Fletcher Niven, said the 2022 edition has presented its own challenges compared to that in earlier and simpler times.

“With the traditional Orange City Invitational Rugby 10s gaining more interest and participation each year, this year’s competition has been a bit harder to prepare and manage,” he explained.

“There is still some COVID around, but we are always gaining interest from various areas. It’s also frustrating that the Emus Rugby Club will be hosting their first Rugby 10s comp this year at the same time as ours,” Fletcher said.

Fletcher explained that the Emus Rugby Club’s tournament this Saturday will means that the Open Women’s division won’t be part of this year’s Orange City Rugby 10s.

“Because the Open Women’s division is getting bigger over at Emus Rugby Club, there were only two sides scheduled to play in our Orange City’s 10s comp. There’s no point in having two sides in an entire division on the day, so we have refunded the registration costs and sent these sides to play in the Emus competition.”

Despite some of these fresh challenges, there are still teams from Dubbo, Tumut, Canowindra, Bathurst, Sydney and other Central West

RUGBY 10S towns playing on Saturday. Rugby cancellations in flood-affected areas have also sparked interest from some coastal towns and Central Coast sides to join the Open Men’s division.

“Due to the recent floods, some councils from these affected areas have cancelled Rugby competitions. But I have received many phone calls from Rugby sides in some of these areas, asking if they can join the local action in Orange; these teams are just keen to play some Rugby. However, these last-minute calls haven’t been easy to manage just before the competition kicks-off,” said Fletcher.

With an overwhelming interest in the Open Men’s division in recent years, Orange City initially intended to run a second men’s division in this year’s Invitational Rugby 10s competition.

Due to the first division's higher registration fee and several past teams getting crushed by some competitors, a second men's division may have solved these issues.

But due to the first division only having four or five registered sides, Fletcher says that it’s highly likely that the first and second divisions will now merge and create a 16-team division.

“Having one mega Open Men’s

division will create plenty of entertainment; it’s the best way to adjust the format under these challenging circumstances. It will also give some new and non-local teams a taste of what it feels like to play against some strong first division Orange sides.

In addition, there will be a local Pacific Islander team that will provide a stern test in strength and force for the other sides competing against them, which should be interesting to watch.”

So while there may have been some new impediments this time around, there will still be plenty of lively rugby talent on display. Games will comprise eight-minute halves, meaning every team will always be in action on the day out.

There will be an Open Men’s division and a Colts Under 18s division, but unfortunately, no Open Women’s group in this year’s Orange City Invitational Rugby 10s. Over $6000 in cash and vouchers are the prizes on offer.

Orange City’s Invitational Rugby 10s competition kicks off at 12.50pm this Saturday at Waratahs Sports Ground.

So why not head down there and catch some of the gripping Rugby 10s action on offer?

With the NRL season kicking off with Thursday night’s Panthers versus Sea Eagles match; it’s easy to forget how small an international footprint this first-rate athletic and spectator sport actually has.

With rugby league’s sudden rise in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a professional rival to the strictlyamateur rugby, it seemed that the new code might overwhelm the original handball game as a more entertaining and accessible alternative.

Rugby league, however, was, and remains, a working man's game, often played and supported by minority groups and those in poorer, industrial areas.

IN NSW and Queensland, for instance, rugby league quickly became the provenance of the Catholic working class, rugby, the Anglified Protestant elites.

Rugby, by virtue of its stranglehold on the large private schools, in many professions, in the universities and the armed forces, was able to effectively shut out the new code from expansion from its proletariat strangleholds. One recent Wallaby team, in fact had all their playing cohort from private school backgrounds.

In France, where the new code had almost totally displaced rugby as the main handball game by the late 1930s, the French Rugby Union during World War II, collaborated with the Vichy Regime to have all league clubs banned and their assets transferred to the French Rugby Union.

Up until recent times, the game was banned from even using the term “rugby league”, and was only allowed to refer to itself, as “the 13-a-side-game”.

In Britain, where members of the Royal family are often slavish patrons of the 15-a-side game, almost 30 former rugby players and administrators have received Queens Honours for their services to the game. For rugby league — the northern sport traditionally played by miners and children of Irish immigrant factory workers — it’s only a handful.

In Sydney, where the Harbour even now forms a very definite class divide,

eight of the NRL teams are based in suburbs south of the Bridge, one north.

While for rugby’s Shute Shield, the North Shore and Eastern Suburbs teams traditionally predominate.

Professionalism, also proved not to be the competitive advantage against rugby that it might have seemed.

With rugby league players mostly coming from educationally-deprived working-class backgrounds, the players’ main source of income came from the brief period of their playing career.

Amateur rugby players however often had professional, university backgrounds and many were able to enjoy lucrative and prosperous postplayer careers as lawyers, accountants, businessmen.

The phenomena of “shamateurism” often saw elite rugby players in countries like France, England, Ireland and Wales earning far more money through sponsors and sham work positions than their “professional” rugby league counterparts.

In fact, players from the “professional” game would often switch over to “amateur” rugby, to earn more money!

But it’s not just rugby that has stymied rugby league from growing outside of its traditional heartland all these decades.

The sporting behemoth that is football (soccer) was already well-established in most countries by the time the game existed, with the English Football Association established decades earlier in 1863.

As Australian Rules Football has also found, once a sport is established in an area, it takes incredible resources for a rival code to replace it.

Also, self-inflicted disasters like the Super League wars of the mid-1990s, and expensive and ultimately-futile attempts to introduce the sport to the United States over many years, have also done their bit.

So, while rugby league is a game that looks like it has all the attributes of a great sporting code — moments of incredible athleticism combined with nail-biting tension, courage and commitment — don’t expect it to take on the world any time soon!

Support Tongan tsunami fundraiser this Sunday Colour City’s Tongan community are holding a fund-raising lunch for their hardhit homeland this Sunday, and Orange locals are invited to come along and have a bite and lend a hand.

The event includes a delicious Tongan feast and also features the Pacific island society’s famously-warm hospitality.

The fundraiser is at the Robin Hood Hotel from 12 noon, Sunday, March 13 and includes an islander luncheon with traditional Polynesian food, singing, and dancing.

There will also be auctions and a raffle drawn at the event, with all the money raised going to support family and friends in Tonga following the tsunami that devastated the island nation on January 15 this year.

Six weeks on from the disaster, people are still struggling to get food, gas, and other basic necessities. Orange Tongan families have come together to organise pantry staples, clothes, cleaning supplies, and basic first-aid items to be sent to help their families and others in need.

The lunch costs $50 per adult, but there is no charge for children. Tickets are available at the Robin Hood Hotel. Raffle tickets are available from the Robin Hood Hotel, Hotel Orange, and also at the Royal Hotel.

In addition to the fund-raising lunch and raffle, a GoFundMe page has been created for those who would like to support this good cause but who are unable to be at the event in person, go to: https://gofund.me/efa4b813

115 Peisley St Orange, 10/119 Kendal St Cowra

Shane Warne, who sadly passed away last week aged 52, is widely regarded as the greatest spin bowler of all time and broke a number of Guinness World Records titles during his career, many of which still stand today. These include Most wickets taken by a bowler against one team in Test cricket – in 36 matches between 1993 and 2007, Warne took 195 Test wickets against England. The spinner’s 10,757 balls in matches involving the Ashes rivals included 11 five-fors, four 10-wicket matches and the delivery widely dubbed as the "Ball of the Century" on June 4, 1993, when his first delivery of his first Ashes Test bowled Mike Gatting after it turned extravagantly off the pitch at Old Trafford, Manchester, UK.

Look Past me and see Him 10 2 — 8 APRIL, 2020

As a Christian I’m meant to represent Jesus, but I often wonder, do I and my fellow Christians do Jesus any favours? With that in mind I offer you the following apology for those of us that have sometimes missed the mark. If you have ever felt judged and unloved, spoken down too or belittled for that I am truly sorry. Our job is to show you Christ’s love and if you didn’t see that or feel that then we did not represent our God the way we should. We are called to “speak the truth in love” and if that didn’t happen, I’m sorry. We are worthy of nothing and yet through Jesus receive more than we deserve. If we were not humble and real and honest with you about our brokenness I apologise. We know we aren’t better than you…not even close.

Please know that just because we are Christians does not mean we aren’t human. So please look past our human flaws and see the great God we represent, see Jesus who saved an imperfect person like me and sooooo many others. Please see how He wants to do that for you too.

It’s funny how in 24hrs one’s response to something can change. On our way up the coast for a holiday, my husband and I joked about toilet paper shortages. Our amusement continued with my in-laws as we light heartedly continued to joke about “panic buying.”

Then we read about 3 confirmed cases in orange and the gravity and seriousness of what was happening hit us - It got real.

Then events started to be cancelled, my churches youth group and kids’ program shortly followed and then we received the message that weekly church services would need to be suspended also.

If the severity of things hadn’t hit home before, they jolly well did now!

As I stood outside Aldi before the doors opened with my list ready to restock my pantry after being away, I pondered about the way God will return one day and prayed my hardest that people would get real about where they stood with Him and respond with the same level of urgency I was witnessing that morning. God is waiting for us to take Him seriously, are you ready?

THUMBS DOWN to the lady on Friday morning at the 7-Eleven on the Molong Road who “beeped” at me while I was trying to get my GPS working as I was parked.

Have some patience. If you didn’t want to wait, maybe getting there a little bit earlier would have helped you?

THUMBS UP to Orange Anglican Grammar School for their “Year 11 Commencement” event the other night.

With most students now going onto “senior years” as opposed to the practice in the past, it was a nice way to welcome the students to the most important two years of their schooling. Thanks also to the former top student who came all the way back from university in Sydney to explain to the group what to expect in their finishing years.

THUMBS DOWN to the cyclists who don’t use the bike-way over the Forest Road bridge, making it dangerous for cars and trucks that then have to cross to the other side of the road to avoid hitting them on the narrow bridge. Stop being selfish, have some common sense, and use the bike-way, which the Council spent time and money building for the safety of all.

THUMBS UP to the wonderful Anything Grows cafe for our most excellent brunch on Sunday, February 27.

The food was amazing, fresh, tasty, beautifully presented, and served in generous portions.

The coffee was sublime, and the staff were smiley, efficient, and fast. What a treat! 100 per cent recommended.

THUMBS DOWN to the Orange City Council for having no public toilets

working, three nights running. Where are the public supposed to go?

THUMBS DOWN to the men in orange hivis shirts speeding down Lords Place between 2.30–3pm. It is a schoolzoned area. I won’t name your firm, but you know who you are, and this is a regular thing, by several different guys. It's very disappointing. Please slow down before a child or a parent is hurt!

THUMBS DOWN to local drivers who, when you have indicated good and long that you are parking, still insist on sitting on your car’s rear-end as you try and manoeuvre into the 45 degree-angle spot.

Reverse-angle parking is not new in Orange, you know that, right? Maybe it’s just that “my rightof-way first” attitude of many Colour City drivers who view any other vehicles who slow them down as an unnecessary impediment to their ohso-busy lives.

THUMBS UP to the proposal by the new councillor to introduce electronic wheel-locked shopping trollies for the CBD. Dumped trollies by lazy shoppers are an eyesore, a danger to those walking, an invitation to petty street crime, and a blight on our oh-sobeautiful city.
