Here we are again with another issue of Orange City Life. I swear the time between deadlines gets shorter every week, but maybe it’s just because there is so much going on at the moment.

Taking the opportunity to get the kids out of the house over the weekend, we headed out to Cook Park for a picnic lunch with friends on Sunday. We were there in time to catch the City of Orange Brass band performance and it was great to see so many others there with rugs and camp chairs enjoying the afternoon. On every visit, I am reminded of just what a beautiful park it is and what a great asset for our city.

Stopping by the Showgrounds on Tuesday we saw preparations are well in hand for the inaugural Orange Medieval Festival Faire this weekend, which should be quite the spectacle. Hundreds of reenactors will be battling it out in period armour, there’s a watermelon-flinging trebuchet, and jousting in full 15th-century plate… it certainly grabs my attention. And if the Faire proves popular, it will become another great drawcard event in an increasingly crowded annual calendar for Orange.

Speaking of drawcard events for the Colour City, F.O.O.D. Week is fast approaching and is back in full swing after two turbulent years. The much-missed night markets are returning to Robertson Park on April 1 and my guess is there will be many visitors and locals eager to enjoy an evening of tasty food and wine.

COOKBOOK HELPING OUR MOST VULNERABLE

Orange Mayor, Councillor Jason Hamling got instructed in some of the finer points of jousting this week

by Orange Medieval Faire organiser Andrew McKinnon.

Taste, sights, and sounds of Medieval Faire this weekend Much-publicised and finally here; Orange’s Medieval Faire is on this weekend, Saturday and Sunday, March 19–20 at Orange Showground.

With forecasts predicting fine weather and 25 degrees centigrade on both days (with a chance of a light shower); the Faire is looking to draw thousands of locals to its unique mix of medieval culture, reenactments, demonstrations, and music.

Opening at 9am with a grand parade, events include a birds-of-prey exhibition, a Viking battle, real-life jousting, and displays with giant Middle Ages-style

catapults (trebuchet).

Other top-flight events include an ancient cavalry display, knightly combat, and impromptu music performances.

You can also take the kids along to the children’s knight school to give them a sense of life from a more courtly age.

Those with an interest in Medieval European culture can wander the medieval encampment and visit the stalls of merchants selling medieval-themed merchandise with delicious food also available.

“LET THERE BE LIGHT”! FOR CAR-DODGING PEDESTRIANS For those pedestrians, (and there are plenty!) who have nearly been collected by unwary motorists as they are using the new crossing on Lords Place at Robertson Park after dark, some good news.

Permanent street lights are currently under construction at the intersection to replace the temporary generator-powered floodlights that have only lit the eastern side of the intersection.

Concrete foundations and

footings were constructed early in the week with the light towers themselves to go up late this week or early next.

The crossing and redevelopment of Lords Place, which also includes another new pedestrian crossing located opposite the civic square on Byng Street, are part of Orange Council’s $5 million Future City initiative designed to provide the Colour City with a more pedestrian-friendly, attractive and walkable CBD.

Shoppers at Orange Central Square are supporting a good cause while buying locally with the reward of a unique cookbook as their prize.

Those who spend a combined $80 at both K-Mart and speciality shops, can receive a free copy of the “Two Good Cook Book Two”.

For each cookbook that is gifted to shoppers, a percentage of profits is reinvested into creating employment hours for social enterprise group, Two Good Co’s “Work Work” program that provides lifechanging training, skills, and employment to women seeking refuge in domestic violence shelters within the community.

Until Friday, March 24 (or while stocks last), Charter Hall shopping centres are inviting shoppers to present their receipts when they spend $30 at a specialty store and $50 at K-Mart to receive one of the “Two Good Cookbook Two”.

Featuring a beautiful selection of delicious recipes and heartfelt stories, this cookbook provides help for our most vulnerable, as well as some unique dishes from both women who have been helped in the program, and celebrity chefs from around Australia.

comment

with DAVID DIXON

Do we really need to “explain” each current crisis to our kids?

“How to explain the Ukraine Crisis to your children,” is a common media theme one keeps seeing at the moment; the question is, why would you want to?

With the continuing bloodshed from Russia’s seemingly-stalled invasion of the Ukraine, we are witnessing the first major European land war since the defeat of Nazi Germany.

With pundits and those bespectacled “International Relations” experts unsure whether this spells: doom for the Ukrainians; the end of Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin; or the start of World War III; another question has been popping up with increasing frequency from our media class.

That is, “how do we explain this to the children?” with British Royals William and Kate recently stating: “We've had to choose our words carefully” over events on the Black Sea. The idea is that, with blanket media coverage in traditional forms including newspapers radio, and television, as well as online being so pervasive, parents should sit down with their children and give them a good talking-too about keeping the whole thing in perspective.

IMAGE BY Bel Chapman Mr Lizard enjoying some sunshine, this fantastic nature shot was captured

world around them.

The evil stepmother, the cruel witch, and the big bad wolf were all analogies for the very-real threats and exploitations that we all eventually have to navigate in our adult lives.

These, however, were all explained to our young by way of magic, allegory, and symbolism in an entertaining storybook format, usually with a happy ending.

This is a world away from a sit-down chat on the tragedy of columns of refugees fleeing a war zone.

I recall as a child watching on television news, the last days of South Vietnam as their army collapsed before the onslaught of the Communist North; finally bringing to an end the so-called “10,000-Day War”.

Not only did my parents not vet my television viewing habits; I don’t ever remember having a conversation with them on the subject.

I watched these events because I was interested; a preference not shared by my mother, father, or grandparents, or all-but-one of my siblings.

But does drawing your kids’ attention to this conflict, really benefit our young?

Children, like adults, seek, explore, and filter news about events around them as it interests or affects them.

If they wish to have these events explained or “put into context”, they will generally ask.

Traditionally, it was through fairy stories like “Snow White”, “Hansel and Gretel”, “Little Red Riding Hood”, and the “Three Little Pigs”, that parents taught their children about the hazards, pitfalls, and dangers of the

They don’t usually need adults to have sit-down “serious” talks with them on the subject — to “save them” from being scarred or tainted by the revelations, shocking as they may be — of the world around them.

Ex-Services’ leads appeal

FOR LISMORE FLOOD VICTIMS Australians have a history of digging deep to lend a hand to others in their time of need. In this great tradition and in the wake of the devastating floods along Australia’s east coast, Orange residents are again doing their part.

W

atching the recordbreaking flooding swallow up the northern rivers town of Lismore earlier this month, staff at the Orange Ex-Services Club (OESC) put their heads together to see what they could do to help.

Putting the call-out to members and the wider community, the Club set up a ‘flood donations hub’ where people could drop off food and household items to help flood victims, so many of whom have lost everything.

Donations of a range of items from blankets, appliances, food, and other necessities have been steadily coming into the club, who plan to drive and

distribute the goods themselves in partnership with staff from the Lismore Workers Club.

“We started slow, but it has really kicked off. We have probably filled up a truck by now, and we still have a few other things coming in,” OESC Chief Executive Officer, Nathan Whiteside said.

“We chose that Lismore area because when we were having the conversation it was the place that was the worstaffected,” he added.

“There has been a lot of support throughout the whole State but, as I said, we chose that Lismore area because it was pretty much decimated and then, in particular, the Lismore Workers Club.

“The water that went through there, went halfway through their second story and some of their staff have lost homes, but it is not just them, but the wider community too.

Sadly, since the Club launched the appeal, other coastal areas have also suffered the same fate as Lismore.

“So it is club helping club, community helping community… This was our opportunity to engage with our own staff and our Board and our members as well as the wider Orange community to help another local community.”

“We can only do our little bit,” said Nathan, encouraged that so many other communities around Australia are pitching in to help.

The appeal for donations to the Club’s “flood hub” ends this Friday, March 18, with club staff then volunteering to use their own annual leave to drive the

Glenn’s heart is in Ukraine

with fiancée caring for parents — DAVID DIXON —

“When the elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled,” is an old African proverb that currently applies to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Seeing the columns of refugees and the sometimes-indiscriminate shelling of civilians fleeing the conflict, it is easy to take solace in the fact that it is all happening half a world away in a country most Australians know very little about.

For local Glenn Evans, however, it is far closer to his home and his heart. His Ukrainian fiancée Hanna (also, “Anna”) is currently in the war zone near the Black Sea city of Odessa having stayed behind to look after her elderly parents in their home village.

Glenn knows the area so very well, spending months of each year in the city that has become his second home but which is now under bombardment by Russian forces.

“It’s a beautiful country. I normally live there four months of the year and I’ve never seen any crime, ever had anything stolen, felt threatened, and now this.

“It’s all so very sad, your heart bleeds for them, but the Ukrainians have been living with this for 16 years,” he said of the two-decade on-again, off-again, Russian-backed insurgency that has killed thousands in the former Soviet republic.

“I’ve peppered everyone trying to get her out; government ministers,

immigration lawyers, refugee groups…

I’m even thinking of going back myself and trying to extract her,” Glenn said.

“Australia can’t help her, because she’s a Ukraine citizen; an option is for me to fly over there and try and bring her back using local contacts,” Glenn said.

Locked out of the country he now thinks of as his second home for two years due to the pandemic travel restrictions, he was able to go back in December, but couldn’t convince Hanna to leave her elderly and frail parents in the small community where they have lived their whole lives.

“The village is located about 50km east of Mykolaiv, which is now the Russian side of the front line.

“Their family heritage is incredibly strong, Anna’s attitude is, ‘I’m not leaving Mum and Dad’,” he explained.

Meeting in 2016 and planning to wed, the pandemic put a spanner in their longheld plans.

“COVID kept us apart for 20-months; we planned to get married in 2020 but haven’t been able to due to the lockdowns and restrictions.”

“The Russians have already been

through here and there were a few skirmishes, they blew up the police station and the petrol station,” he added.

He said that her and her parents' best chance, is for them to travel to nearby Moldova through a “green corridor” (safe refugee route) negotiated as part of ceasefires between the warring armies.

“The cities are surrounded by the Russians who are who are shelling them from the outside… patriotism among the Ukrainians is very strong, but there’s no humanitarian aide going to the other side,” he said.

“There’s no food, so people are living on what they can grow or trade with each other… I just spoke to her mother and it’s very hard,” he said.

The current ground war is a world away from the life they enjoyed in the millionstrong city where they had bought a unit together and were planning a future.

“Life in Odessa is very like Europe, beautiful cafes, bars, wonderful history… they were part of the Soviet Union, but now they look to the western culture,” he explained.

In desperation, Glenn sought out a local Ukrainian refugee agency who encouraged him to apply for a visitor visa to Australia for Hanna which they were able to obtain in less than 24 hours. The trick now is getting her and her family out of the war zone.

“I applied on the Friday and got it on the Saturday, if I’d applied a day or two earlier, the road out was still open on the Thursday, I could have got her out of there,” he said.

“Friends of her and her sister drove to Odessa and were able to get to Moldova and then drove to the Czech Republic, if I can’t get her out in the next few days, I might have to go over there,” Glenn said.

LOCAL JOURNALIST AND CHARITY WORKER

Local Member Phil Donato presents the Orange Local Woman of the Year Award to this year’s recipient, Janice Harris.

Orange Women of the Year Member for Orange, Philip Donato officially announced her win as part of International Women’s Day with a presentation in Sydney last week.

“It’s not an easy task selecting just one amazing woman from so many across the electorate for the annual Local Woman of the Year Award, because there are so many doing so much for our community,” Mr Donato said.

“This year, one woman stood out, having been actively involved in the community for many decades. Janice Harris was more than a worthy recipient of the title of ‘2022 Orange Local Woman of the Year’, having tirelessly and selflessly volunteered for the benefit of the local community.

“Janice is a very humble lady; when I notified Janice of this much-deserved accolade, her first response was that she couldn’t accept it as there are much more deserving women in the community.”

The retired journalist is well known in the Orange community and highly regarded among her peers and the community in all of her capacities, Mr Donato said.

“Janice has a deep and genuine care for her community and has actively contributed with almost half a century of voluntary service.”

Janice has a long history of community involvement and has volunteered with numerous local organisations.

D IL U G Y C A M R A H P IN S IST L A IN F IX S F O E N O S A NAMED DS R A W A R A E Y E H T F O Y MAC R A H P ’S IA L A R T S U A F O A goal to be the pharmacy of choice for the community but also the employer of choice for its staff, while also reducing the barriers people may have to accessing medications and pharmacy services, are the driving philosophies behind the ongoing growth of Blooms The Chemist Orange.

Proprietor Melanie Moses said that within the past 12 to 24 months, the pharmacy had seen major growth and transformation.

It is our goal and commitment to be the pharmacy of choice for not just our community, but also the employer of choice for our people.”

Ms Moses said a focus on community needs had seen an expansion of its delivery service to seven days a week during the pandemic, while also offering expanded deliveries to communities and small townships within 50km of the pharmacy.

“During lockdown periods we find our deliveries exceed 50 per day and we have used scheduling and routing technology to help support this growing aspect of our business,” Ms Moses said.

And in line with its philosophy of ensuring

patients have access to medications and pharmacy services, the pharmacy has gone out of its way to find innovative options to help patients.

“We have a very strong focus on disadvantaged patients – those in lower social economic groups and the homeless. We also have an emphasis on Aboriginal health and these things are a point of difference for us.” Ms Moses said.

“For instance, we have implemented several support options for our patients who are experiencing financial hardships by creating a compassionate loan scheme as well as offering Centrepay options.

“In addition to this we have recently collaborated with Housing Plus to implement the Medications for Homeless Persons Project.

“We work closely with Orange Aboriginal Medical Centre to deliver the QUMAX program to their patients and report compliance concerns regularly to their doctors.

“We also provide free sleep apnoea testing and diabetes educator consultations to their clients.”

In addition, other projects based at the pharmacy include: Two of its pharmacists participating in a GP clinic program run by the Public Health Network Ms Moses being recognised as Parkinson’s Support Group Hero Assistance for police youth projects Participation in Share the Dignity Taking part in Relay for Life NAIDOC week stalls for health checks “Our other major investment has been in the appointment of Diabetes Educator and Pharmacist, “At present the number of patients requiring these services is greater than what is available through our local health facilities, and we see the provision of this service as an asset to our community while also increasing our business.

Ms Moses said the main determinant to the pharmacy’s sustainability was the customer and therefore their needs were at the forefront of decision-making processes.

“Because if we can help at that part, then it potentially prevents larger costs for people down the track in terms of hospitalisation or more serious outcomes if their health is not managed.”

The spot in the finals adds to a growing list of accolades for Blooms the Chemist Orange, which has previously won Store of the Year, Retail Manager of the Year and Customer Service Awards.

Ms Moses was also recently named as Orange Parkinson Support Group’s community hero for 2021.

She said the national recognition was good for the pharmacy and her team of 25 staff.

“I like that it’s a team effort and everyone at work is being recognised for their commitment,” she said.

Pharmacy of the Year winners will be announced at the 2022 APP Conference, held on March 24-27 at the Gold Coast Convention Centre.

The horror!

Locally-linked production bags US film festival launch A Colour City-produced horror comedy movie recently gained a US Film Festival Launch in the United States.

Orange-based film and TV production and distribution studio, Arcadia, recently celebrated the World Premiere of their latest film, Sissy at the prestigious SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.

The Canberra-shot horror comedy, from the team behind Kodi Smit-McPhee’s time travel thriller 2067 (now available on Netflix), premiered on the opening night of the festival in the “Midnighters Section” of the Festival to a sell-out crowd and

critical acclaim.

“We're honoured to have premiered in the Midnighters Section on the opening night of the festival. SXSW has a wonderful track record of world premieres, including some of our favourite films of the past few years: A Quiet Place, Booksmart and Spring Breakers,” producer Bec Janek said.

“To have Sissy, a film we shot in Canberra, recognised in this company is fantastic and it was amazing to unleash this film on audiences at SXSW. To have the film so well-received by critics and audiences alike is a dream come true,” she added.

Sissy is currently rated at 100 per cent on film review-aggregation website “Rotten Tomatoes” and the streaming rights have been snapped up by horror streaming service, Shudder.

Also producing alongside Arcadia was John De Margheriti of DEMS Entertainment, The Academy of Interactive Entertainment and Jason Taylor for Freedom Films.

Arcadia, who moved operations to Endsleigh Avenue, Orange two years ago, is planning to release Sissy in Australian

Invited away on a bachelorette weekend, however, Sissy ends up stuck in a remote cabin with her high school bully.

Produced by Arcadia’s Lisa Shaunessy and Bec Janek, and executive produced

by Alexandra Burke and Seth Larney, the film also stars Yerin Ha, Lucy Barrett, Daniel Monks, Emily De Margheriti, and Hannah Barlow, who co-wrote the script and codirected with Kane Senes.

Harrison Bird of Yellow Brick Road

Follow the Yellow Brick Road for expert local loan advice Whether you’re buying a new home or car, looking to refinance or seeking to grow your wealth with an investment property, Harrison Bird at Yellow Brick Road Orange is your local loan expert.

A lifetime central west local, Harrison has spent the past 14 years in car sales and finance in Orange. As principal mortgage broker for Yellow Brick Road Orange, Harrison is turning his knowlege and years of experience in finance to helping people turn their goals and dreams into reality.

“I’ve sold a lot of people cars in Orange and financed a lot of cars,” said Harrison, who found himself becoming the “go-to person” for friends and family when they were negotiating the often bewildering world of loans and mortgages and complex paperwork.

“That’s the reason I did this. Mates and other people needing loans were coming and asking me about what loans to look at and just about everyone I talked to had had some difficulty with the banks,” said Harrison.

“So I just thought there was a need for a mortgage broker to help a few people out make things more

convenient for people.”

it is his obligation to find the right loan, whether it’s for first home buyers, investment properties, refinancing, construction or self-employed borrowers.

Looking into a number of mortgage broker franchises, Harrison said Yellow Brick Road struck him as the best fit for Orange and himself.

“Talking with them, I found Yellow Brick Road to come across very straightforward and honest, they were not just trying to sell me another franchise, everything with them was transparent and very clear, and meeting the executive chairman Mark Bouris further increased my confidence in the brand. It just made it an easy choice for me,” said Harrison.

“And Yellow Brick Road have a large panel of lenders to choose from and they don't only do home loans, but also car loans, vehicle leases, commercial finance, plant and equipment finance — so it is not just mortgages, they have a lot of other products and services that people in Orange could use.”

As a mortgage broker, Harrison said

...It is about getting the right option that suits you and you get to choose, essentially, which one you want...

“It is about getting the right option that suits you and you get to choose, essentially, which one you want. I can give you the four best options, explain the fees and give you a breakdown of comparisons. Then you can compare and choose which one they want,” he said.

“The banks can only give you their option, but a mortgage broker has a big panel of lenders and a legal obligation to give you the best loans to suit.”

Harrison also understand that working people lead busy lives, which is why he will come to see you in your time.

“I can come to them after work or before work or on a weekend — whenever it suits them,” he said.

Museum event celebrating 60-years of regional television

— DAVID DIXON —

W

hen regional television was in its prime, it was far more than just a pale corporate copy of Sydneybased networks with a few “local” news stories tacked on.

Channel CBN-8 — as the Orange-based station on the Bathurst Road was known — used to produce locally-made dramas, quiz shows, children’s television, current affairs, sport, religious broadcasts, as well as an in-house broadcast news service.

Orange Regional Museum is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the first local television broadcast at a special ORM Talks event this week. Titled, Welcome to Television: the 60th anniversary of Channel 8, the event will be held at 6pm this Friday, March 18.

Commemorating the first full-length television broadcast in Orange on March 17, 1962, it will feature highlights of Channel 8 news, current

affairs and sport footage, which was donated as 16mm film in 2021.

Journalists and film crew who worked at the then-bustling Bathurst Road studio, say that “aggregation” in the late 1980s, which forced often locally-owned stations to triple their broadcast area so that there were three commercial networks for country areas of Australia, was the death of real regional television.

Former reporter and news chief, John Lloyd-Green, recalls working in Orange in the late 1970s with Peter Andren; who fought for decades to retain local content on regional television before becoming the Independent Member for Calare in 1996.

“I started under Peter in 1979, we were journalistic foot-soldiers who covered everything and anything in the broadcast area, visiting politicians, events, courts, tragedies, we went everywhere and anywhere,” he recalls.

“Every day of the year there was something, flower shows, Mother’s Day, if there was no news, Peter would send us out on what he called ‘Parish Pump’ stories… we were very much a televised country newspaper,” he remembers.

“We had televised sports events on the

weekends, rugby union grand finals, Group 10, whatever was happening locally,” he recalls.

Senior camera operator Brendan Cooper worked for Prime for 12 years from the mid1990s after having come from the MTM-9 at Griffith.

“There was a kids’ show, a household show, we even had a tea lady, we were doing much more live TV, and we filled in the holes with whatever we brought from the stations in Sydney,” he said.

“I was part of the news section with Peter Andren. In those days, they had a milliondollar-plus budget and made use of it.

Peter produced a show called the ‘Andren Report.’ There was ‘Focus’, a half-hour show on Sunday night and the station could pick and choose what it wanted from the Sydney stations.

For an instance of the extent of local broadcasting, a 30-minute documentary on the 1978 National Rodeo Titles, called Goin’ Down The Road, won the station the “Outstanding Contribution by a Regional Station” Logie Award in 1979.

Local programming in the 1980s included Focus, Rural Roundup, Early Shift, Weekend Report, Time to Live, Around The Schools, and coverage of local special events.

Local sports coverage, especially of tennis and rugby, formed a major part of the schedule in the late 1970s and early 1980s. From 1979, the station sponsored and telecast the United Permanent Tennis Tournament, the only tournament of its kind in Australia.

“Regional TV was expected to do what regional TV was supposed to do, and that was report on the region… and Peter Andren

was the biggest advocate of us remaining regional… but aggregation was the beginning of the end,” John said.

Cameraman Phil McLellan was based in Dubbo in the mid-1980s. He recalls that all major towns in the central west had not just a news reporter and camera-operator, but also a couple of advertising representatives; so profitable was television during its golden age.

“We filmed all the stories on pneumatic tape and then sent the video from the Telecom Tower in Dubbo… the reporter would then have to voice it over,” he remembers.

“Peter was a noble man who had integrity and believed in journalistic ethics… it was nothing for us to be sending Channel Seven in Sydney two or three stories a week that they would be picking-up... but when Peter left, everything went down to budgets and money,” he said.

Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair, Councillor Mel McDonell, said: “The television station made such an important contribution to the region, not only by telling the stories of the time, but also with the role it played in the daily lives of local families watching at home.”

The goodenough parent

TIME WARP

with Emily Thompson

Family Celebrations I woke up this morning and it was my birthday. I am now 42 years old.

On opening my eyes, I was immediately presented with a glitter headband selection for my perusal by Miss Seven.

I choose to wear pale-pink sparkles — I first chose the seashells, but Miss Seven immediately placed them on her own head informing me that’s Hers.

My presents, carefully chosen by my husband and the girls, thoughtfully include a T-Rex (because dinosaurs have always been my favourite thing). I’m also given bath products (an extra special gift this year because, for the first time in 13 years, I get to bathe alone!) and books, which I also occasionally get to read alone.

But today, when I try to settle on the swing under our spectacular magnolia tree with the latest Marian Keyes, Miss Seven instantly recognises a captive audience and drags the mini-trampoline over to show me all of her cool tricks.

In the face of this impromptu ninja trampoline performance, I eventually give up and put my book down, taking comfort in the knowledge that it will end, eventually.

I decide on “Smoking Brother’s” for my birthday dinner; the food is lovely and I’m happily in denial, confident that I’ll share an entrée and have a salad. Half a burger, three wings, a jalapeño spring roll, sweet potato chips, and a mini corn-dog later, and I’m contemplating a pre-cake dessert, eyeing off the complimentary Nutella doughnut fries. They are incredible.

So much so, that I’m pretty certain I’ll be ordering again tomorrow night when friends come over, leaving the $75 worth of groceries I bought yesterday shamefully wilting in the fridge My birthday is perfectly timed because we switch straight from it to Easter and Easter is my absolute favourite holiday.

Every Easter, my husband takes our kids camping with his family and I spend the whole long weekend alone. It’s what we’ve done since the early days of parenthood when I had to work during the long weekend and, now they’re older, it’s honestly the best weekend of my year.

As much as I love my family, four days where the only mental load I have is choosing between Netflix and my book, is bliss.

However, I’m brought crashing back down-to-earth when I read the school newsletter which has a disturbing line reminding parents that “Easter hat parade hats are to be made at home and brought in”.

I ask for advice in our parenting Facebook group and, although I receive lots of lovely, helpful suggestions, unfortunately, most of them include the term “hot glue gun”. I did once own a hot glue gun when my eldest was a baby and I believed maternity leave would automatically make me crafty. It sat unused until lockdown and when it was turned on for a school project, it promptly exploded and took the entire living room electrical panel out with it. My electrician husband isn’t keen for me to buy another one.

But I’m pulled out of this funk when Miss 13 points out that Easter bonnets kind of look like cakes. Cakes! Ever since we became parents, it is my husband who has been responsible for baking and decorating cakes, so I hand the entire responsibility over to him, convincing him that it’s because he’d do a much better job than me.

Problem solved.

Now everyone is happy and I can go back to planning my idyllic long weekend alone… While watching trampoline tricks, obviously.

CELEBRATING INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY WITH THE CWA! I was honoured to spend this International Women’s Day with members of the Country Women’s Association from across our region at Kandos Community Hall.

Events like this, that bring people together and highlight the hard work and success of women in our community are so important.

The Country Women’s Association (CWA) of NSW turns 100 this year and it’s a great opportunity to recognise all they have done for us. To help celebrate, I took along some birthday cake!

The women of CWA have been trailblazers for the rights of women and country communities all over Australia.

They have supported every campaign our region has been involved with from advocating for the marking of lines on country roads to the establishment of the CSU Medical School.

International Women’s Day was also an opportunity to recognise the actions of women across Australia who have achieved great things for our country.

NEW FUNDING FOR BORENORE-NASHDALE MEN’S SHED For more than a decade, the Borenore-Nashdale Men’s Shed has been an invaluable part of our local community.

AUTOFEST - WHAT A WEEKEND!

Over the weekend I hit the road in my ‘62 Ford XK to visit Bathurst Autofest! There was plenty of burnt rubber, hotrods and classic cars at Mount Panorama - a car lover’s dream! Congratulations to all involved in bringing such a wonderful event to our region.

Pictured: Andrew with Nick Johnson from Orange.

I enjoyed catching up with some of the members and present them with $1,179 in Australian Government funding under the National Shed Development Programme.

AUSTRALIAN ARMY BAND COMES TO TOWN

They’re using it to upgrade lighting and improve safety, with welding screens and a new sand blasting cabinet.

The Australian Army Band Sydney were in Orange last weekend! They’re one of the 5 full time military bands of the Australian Army.

The fellas also let me try my hand at some whittling - though I’m not sure I have the time or patience to take it up as a hobby just yet!

Pictured: David Rahtz, David Schmidt, Peter Douglas, Andrew Gee, Max Davidson, John Douglas and Barry Jensen.

It was great to meet the members of the band, who put on a wonderful performance at the Orange Conservatorium for 200 local school students and performed at the Orange Farmers Market on Saturday.

OH WHAT A NIGHT! You just can’t beat a bit of Johnny Cash on a Saturday with my muso buddy Neil Gill!

I copped a bit of stick for wearing a Torana t-shirt (picked up at Autofest) when I own an old Falcon ute (which Andrew and Scott kindly fixed for me pre-gig).

I picked up the Torana shirt because a) I like Toranas and b) they didn’t have any Falcon t-shirts!!!

Big haul of industry honours for local builder

CONTEMPORARY HOMES Orange’s Contemporary Homes are building on their reputation for quality and innovation, scooping five major industry gongs at the Master Builders Association (MBA) NSW Western Regions Excellence in Building Awards.

Contemporary Homes directors Michael and Kelli Paddison and Ken and Sue Barber were kept on their feet at the black-tie gala presentation night at the Orange Ex-Services Club on February 11, receiving awards for best contract home $450,000 to $550,000, best exhibition/ display home $350,000 to $450,000, best exhibition/display home over $450,000, best bathroom and best kitchen.

“We have won at previous awards but never scored something like this before,” said Contemporary Homes director Michael Paddison.

“The Western Region, it takes in a fair population of builders and so to be recognised from among them by our peers and industry body the Master Builders Association is pretty special.”

The Master Builders Association Awards look to recognise best practice in residential and commercial building and reward outstanding workmanship and innovation. The judging process is conducted through onsite visits to all the entered builds and decided on quality of construction, design challenges, use of materials, value for money and innovation.

Contemporary Homes’ two awardwinning display homes on Shiralee Road both boast clever design features and showcase a wide range of inclusions The Claremont 32 (winner of the best exhibition/display home $350,000 to

$450,000) is a four-bedroom family home with a nod to a “Hampton” style.

“It is a home that we've built many times before and it is such a clever designed plan,” said Michael. “It is a really warm, inviting and very liveable family home that has everything you need and a nice feel about it. It is just laid out so well and it ticks a lot of boxes just through perfect design and I feel that is why the judges were so positive about it.”

The Palm Cove (winner of the best exhibition/display home over $450,000, best bathroom and best kitchen) is a feature-rich luxury build that pushes boundaries with its innovative design, use of materials and building methods. “ A lot of our clientele were telling us they were sick of going to display homes and seeing the same regurgitated ideas and very similar homes and designs everywhere so we thought, well, we'll change that,” said Michael.

“It was the ensuite to the Palm Cove, which won best bathroom, that was the inspiration for the whole house. We knew we wanted this cast stone round bath, a floor-to-ceiling shower screen sitting behind it and a massive VELUX skylight to let all this natural light in. That was the inspiration and straight away we knew we were onto something special.

“And the kitchen that won; it is something out of this world; it's just showing off! The cabinetry, the high-

end appliances and inclusions — it is an absolutely stunning kitchen and you discover new details every time look at it.”

But it is the quality of construction that is a particular point of pride for Contemporary Homes said Michael, and that comes from building a team of good people.

“We have been trading for 13 years and since the start, I’ve wanted to bring together a team of the best and the guys we have we handpicked them all,” Michael explained.

“When you have the best team, then they all hold each other to account. That is why the quality in our homes is high, because of our team.”

“I tell everyone to come through and judge us, judge us on quality; because it doesn't matter your budget, whether you are spending $100,000 with us or a million with us, it is the same suppliers the same tradesmen and still me building it — the guys that built our award winning homes will build yours as well. So you can come and see how good they are and that's what you can expect from a Contemporary Homes-built home.”

While confident in the product and service Contemporary Homes provides their clients, Michael said receiving awards such as these from the peak industry body means a lot and is a real tribute to his teams’ skill and diligence in their work.

“The MBA is an amazing body, it does a lot for the industry and to win those awards and to be recognised is something that we are so honoured and grateful for,” he said.

“And what it does is let us know we are on the right path. It lets all our guys know and all our trades and all the suppliers and all the professional services know that we are doing the right thing, we are going the right way about things “They don't get always the recognition of seeing the house finished and the client enjoying the home or see what it does for those families and all the memories they make in their new home, but our industry body giving them recognition for what they are doing — especially when they put their heart and soul into these homes— is a nice little pat on the back for them and well deserved.”

"We've grown our business very successfully from our home office and we've never really needed the display home before, but it is just brilliant now to have something physical to show people.

We find a lot of people are very tactile, they like to come in to touch and feel and this way it allows clients to imagine themselves in these spaces. The best thing for me," Michael added “it showcases what we can do and instills confidence and sets a level of expectation of exactly what our clients will expect from a build with Contemporary Homes” .

Testimonial - Contemporary Homes built our place in 2019 and we enjoyed the experience that much we are doing it all over again!

Michael and Kelli are incredibly professional and we were with us every step of the way. We have a house that we are proud to pull up in front of and now it has become a precious and spacious home for our family.

I would recommend Contemporary Homes to anyone looking to build their dream home. This was my first time building; I loved the experience and would build with Michael and Kel again tomorrow. I have an amazing home that they helped me create and it gets complimented constantly.

They took so much time before we even started to make sure everything was right.

I had a million ideas for what I thought I wanted, they always listened and provided great feedback on the best way to do things. Walk throughs on site with Michael meant I could stay up to date on where the build was up to and was as excited and passionate about each step as it came together as I was. Shopping trips with Kel were my favourite part, Kel has amazing taste and helped me pull everything together to look amazing.

128 Shiralee Rd

ORANGE

The inspiration for this home started with a lavish white, freestanding round cast stone bath and a sample A4 piece of wallpaper that gave a vision of an animal wonderland scenery – from there came the rest of the Palm Cove, with a Penthouse Lux feel and a focus on the magnificent indoor living that seamlessly transitions into the outdoor.

Features of this home include: • 3 dimensional Shou Sugi Ban feature, using a traditional Japanese method of charring timber with fire used as one of the main façade features of this astonishing home.

• Locally hand crafted bespoke kitchen with curved radius to either ends of the island bench. Hardwood timber battens are hand chamfered and have been custom made to suit the radius of the curve.

• Hidden walk in pantry that is accessible through an integrated pivot door.

• 4.8m raked ceilings with high light windows.

• Incorporating full length windows to highlight the extravagant ceiling heights in the living areas.

• A contemporary square set ceiling finish.

• A cosy Jet Master Horizon edge 2 sided fireplace that has been built in using a brick from Austral’s San Selmo collection bringing the flow of the outdoors in.

• A relaxing inbuilt custom made bench seat in second living area that would be perfect for lazy afternoon cuddled up with a good book.

• Study nook with dual workstations with high light windows, for those working from home or a study desk for the teenagers.

• Coming in from the double garage, you’ll walk into the mudroom featuring a timber bench with extra storage and coat racks.

• Outdoors we have an inbuilt BBQ for entertaining, featuring brushed brass sink and fittings.

• Skylight feature windows throughout living areas and the alfresco following the rake of the ceiling to let in that extra light.

• Stow away retractable screen and double glazed glass pocket sliding doors that disappear inside the wall that allow for seamless transition from your combined indoor to outdoor entertainment spaces.

• An inviting fire pit with bench seats for those cold winter nights.

Regular opening hours: Wednesday – Friday 10am to 5.30pm Saturday 10am to 2pm Take Woodward Street, over the railway line and continue to Shiralee Estate.

"I can't recommend Michael and Kel enough, they are wonderful people

We were initially really daunted by the process of building our own home, but we cannot fault our experience with Contemporary. Kel and Michael made it easy and Kel's design and style experience was invaluable at times when the decision making got overwhelming. Contemporary turned our scribbled drawings and ideas into a home that we love. We would build with them again in a heartbeat.

I am so very happy with my new home.

Perfect size for a retiree like myself.

Thanks, Jemma

The build was hassle free with Michael and Kelli at the helm. Nothing was a problem for them. Their expertise went above and beyond. Communication was a top priority for them, every step of the way of the build, and as the weeks progressed it was exciting to see my house come together I would most definitely build again with Contemporary Homes"

Congratulations

award winning CONTEMPORARY HOMES

Our build with Contemporary Homes commenced just before the announcement of the 2021 Covid19 lockdown. We were going to be stuck in Sydney for 16+ weeks.

We thought this would result in a difficult and stressful time trying to communicate our needs and make the necessary decisions regarding our new home.

We found the opposite to be true! Michael and Kelli went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was stress free. They were always available and attentive. High level, open and honest communication meant that we were kept up to date with lots of photos and even narrated video clips! Samples for interior choices were sent back and forth and we were skilfully guided by their collective wisdom and extensive experience. They patiently listened to all our requirements, ensuring we were comfortable with our decisions every step of the way.

Spending your life savings on something that does not exist, and trusting a complete stranger to build you a home with it is a daunting concept. My wife, Melissa and I, spoke to several builders about building our house for us. It was not until we me Michael and Kelli from Contemporary Homes that we new we had made the right decision to build our home.

From the moment we first met them, they were warm, welcoming and extremely professional. The entire building process was an absolute joy. Their enthusiasm for sharing the build with us was contagious and they made every milestone special.

You can see the pride in their work when they hand you the keys. We recommend them so much that we are now building our second home with them.

This beautiful home offers a relaxed lifestyle, spacious living, and comfort. Using the right blend and balance of materials, textures, and colours to achieve exactly how it was envisioned.

Features of this home include: • VJ board feature walls on the front porch that continue into the spacious entry, creating a feeling of bringing the outside in.

• 2.55m ceilings inside that are continued in the alfresco area to further draw the outside in and create a greater sense of space.

• Timber elements are caried thought-out the house through the use of the highquality vinyl planks and laminated timber cabinetry accents.

• The kitchen has been kept more modern with a blue gloss, wavy subway tile that has been laid vertically on the splashback, simulating the gentle trickle of water.

• Stone benchtops with a matt finish to give the appearance of natural stone.

• To cater for Orange’s harsh winters, the layout of this home is to ensure that no northern sun is sacrificed with all living areas, capturing the natural sunlight and warmth.

• Outside we have a more than generous alfresco entertainment area, that unveils the morning sun rise and is perfectly oriented to be comfortable for year-round enjoyment.

• Plantation shutters to the front of the house provide extra insulation and protection from the scorching western sun as well as enhancing street appeal and privacy.

• The Claremont offers an ample amount of storage with four full length shelved linen/storage cupboards.

• The walk-in pantry is fitted with floor to ceiling storage with the convenience of a benchtop to keep your appliances hidden away.

• Two separate sliding doors from the kitchen to the hallway make it easy to close the bedroom off and help cut heating costs.

• Internal access from the garage into the mudroom, perfect for families coming home from school or sporting events can leave wet, muddy clothes and bags immediately upon entering the house.

PaulTIERNEY IS S’TAT UE ?

Time to ‘Break The Bias’ and get some great female statues Last week, my place of work had some absolutely cracking celebrations for International Women’s Day, 2022.

Bacon-and-egg rolls freshly cooked on the barbie on sale as I arrived — $5 for the ladies, $5.70 for the men as a reflection of the gender pay gap.

Genius, served with a smile, and happy to fork out for two. A couple of very eloquent and talented guest speakers avoided the clichés and ‘easy’ celebrations of our talented and highly-successful sports ladies, opting instead to praise women in science and industry. Again, genius. A morning tea with another guest speaker had the audience spellbound with her powerful and meaningful words.

Lunch was provided by the men, as we all brought a plate and shared a great half-hour with no talk of shop, Warnie, Ukraine, floods or COVID. Just light chit-chat over quiche, party pies and bruschetta. As I said, cracking day.

Not sure if you noticed, but on most of the morning shows, talk shows and late-night chat shows last Tuesday, the songs used to go the ad breaks featured great Aussie female artists …

Thelma Plum, G-Flip and ‘Our’ Kylie.

Well played people. Every bit helps.

There’s a lot of really bad stats to be heard regarding gender inequality in our wide, brown land (and we’re the ‘lucky’ country, let alone stats from the rest of the planet). A quite strange one that came up as they rattled off pay-gaps, percentages of women in leadership positions and so on. I heard that, of all the statues of famous people and things we have in Australia, less than four per cent of them celebrate our famous, historic and successful women. I’ll just do that again – less than four per cent.

Far-out, if that wasn’t so serious, it’d be laughable.

There are already 110 statues of Captain Cook in Oz, and then we allocated 50 million bucks to make

more! Less than one per cent of statues in Melbourne are females, and that includes the ones of Queen Victoria too. Sheesh. Most of the statues that are of women in parks, plazas, and around museums that are of women are faceless or expressionless, and of course, mostly wearing no clothes. Sure there’s statues of Betty Cuthbert and Marjorie (‘The Lithgow Flash’) Jackson, and also some of other famous sportspeople and pop stars like Nova Peris, Taylah Harris and Kylie, but these ones aren’t on permanent display, they just get moved around or brought out for special occasions. Just to put an exclamation point on this whole issue, there’s not one full-bodied statue of a famous historical woman in Canberra’s parliamentary zone (source ‘The Project’, Network Ten, March 8). Yep, we’ve got the Dog on the Tucker Box, The Big Banana, Wally, Warnie, and the Big Merino, but we’re pretty skint of famous ladies that pigeons can poop on.

It looks like “Our Nation’s Capital” (source ‘Forrest Gump’, 1994) is coming to the party with a sculpture of Dame Edith Lyons and Dorothy Tangney (two of the first Australian women in parliament), and there’s a huge fundraising campaign going on to get a bronze likeness of 1993 world surfing champ Pauline Menczer in Bondi. I don’t think we’ll have to worry about Ash, she’ll be taken care of in a matter of months. But … what about Grace Tame? Nancy Bird-Walton? Dame Edith ($50 note) Cowan? Fanny Durack? Elizabeth Kenny? Getty Elizabeth Blackburn?

Ita? Gladys? And of course, Julia?

Yep, our famous sportsmen all get their statues, but, unless the next 500 statues are of our successful women, we’ll be up against it when it comes to ‘Breaking the Bias’. C’mon Aussies, the pigeons will love pooping on our famous ladies more than Captain Cook, I’m banking on it.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

Dealing with Stress

you do when the “10 tips” don’t really fix the problem? Where can you turn to? For me, I turn to God.

We are living in very stressful times. There has been an unrelenting pressure coming at us from all sorts of places and it does not seem to be stopping anytime soon.

Why do I go there? I go there because I know that he is there when everything else seems to crumble around me. I know that he is there, watching over me and sustaining me even when I feel completely overwhelmed.

Besides the obvious of COVID, floods, and war, there are other pressures that seem to rob us of any sense of peace.

It could be the cost of living. It could be the price of houses and the threat of rising interest rates. It could be our relationships.

Whatever it may be, we all know what stress can do to us. When the next thing comes, maybe the heart-rate rises, or the skin prickles, or your breath becomes laboured, or the headache starts.

Before you know it, you are completely overwhelmed and have no idea what to do next. Much ink has been spilled talking about the impacts of stress on our lives and how we can try and cope with its presence.

So what do you do? Maybe, you take the “head in the sand” approach where you ignore or simply try and distract yourself. This works for a time, but inevitably the stress will return. Perhaps you go to Google and look for the latest blog or 10 tips that are going to get you better at coping with the curveballs life throws at you.

Sadly though, these all break down at some point. So what do you do when the distraction becomes yet another layer of stress? What do

In a true story from the Bible, a guy called Jonah was thrown off a ship amid a storm and was swallowed by a whale. He survived for three days inside the fish and, whilst he was inside it, he prayed these words: “In my distress, I called to the Lord, and he answered me… But you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit. When my life was ebbing away, I remembered you, Lord, and my prayer rose to you, to your holy temple” (Jonah 2:1a,6b-7).

In the midst of an insanely-stressful situation, Jonah knew that he could call out to God, and he would hear him and rescue him.

Why? In another part of the Bible we find the answer. One of Jesus’s disciples wrote this: Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). You see, this isn’t some self-help that’s offered here. It is a certain hope that is real and tangible.

For me, it is knowing God through Jesus, that I can keep going even when life seems so overwhelming. I can give all my worries, stresses and cares to him in prayer. So, if like me, you find things stressful and even overwhelming at times, why not try praying to God, asking him to help you too.

When most people think about Australian history, she says, they think of coastal

“With this book, I really wanted to spotlight a time in Australia's history where we have the vagaries of Mother Nature and the wheels of progress literally conspiring to destroy livelihoods and a way-of-life for some people,” said Nicole, whose research involved exploring the Darling River country on foot.

“I really like to get those details right, so when a reader opens one of my books, they can see and smell and hear what I have, when I've been on one of my research trips.”

A fourth-generation grazier, it was when Nicole left her corporate job in Singapore to return to the family farm that she found her inspiration in the rich history of rural Australia.

“And I just kept on doing that, because I enjoy writing about our interior and I really do like to highlight that history, and make people appreciate a little more what was

New councillor, Dr Steve likes keeping things in the positive New Orange City Councillor, Steve Peterson, likes keeping things in the positive.

Despite a chance accident that four years ago completely changed his life, he sees a series of opportunities rather than impediments, an approach he is taking to his new role as an elected councillor.

From this perspective, he believes there is much that can be improved regarding accessibility and transport in the Colour City.

“I like to think of things that are positive and in the interests of the community, such as improved roads and footpaths,”

he said.

“Accessibility is one of those things that is pretty essential, speed humps, entry to shops, kerbs with no ramps… one of the hardest places to get around, is Robertson Park,” he said.

“It would be a small thing to do, but it may be just one of those things that they just haven’t thought about,” he said.

“If necessary, we may have to see redistribution of resources to achieve that, to make these things a priority in Orange,” he said. “I’d like to see us at least have a conversation about that.”

With his wide-ranging opinions on a variety of subjects, he thinks that the new Council has a great opportunity to make a fresh start on a number of matters central to the long-term prosperity of the district.

...Diversity isn’t an end in itself, but a means to an end. As it so happens, we have some wonderful new councillors in this current group...

Elected as top of the “Refresh Orange” ticket in last December’s poll, his unique background mix — a medical doctor who spent part of his childhood in Beijing and who is now wheelchair-bound after his car-bicycle collision — offers the “diversity” that so many bemoaned about the previous council.

He believes, however, that this should not be the key feature defining who we are and what we achieve.

trained GP explained.

“I hope so, that all of the councillors bring something different in their perspectives. Diversity isn’t an end in itself, but a means to an end. As it so happens, we have some wonderful new councillors in this current group,” he added.

With his working life as a doctor, he recalls little of his accident, reflecting on the tragic irony of his having left a shift at the Orange Hospital, to be struck down by a car as he peddled home, and returning back on the same day as a patient.

Cr Peterson still works as a GP providing invaluable online consultancies to small rural hospitals like Molong and Cobar through the “Virtual Rural Generalist Service" and "Remote GP" Service.

“I was working in the emergency department, and I got hit cycling home, and ended up back there a few hours later, though I don’t remember anything of it,” he said.

“It works surprisingly well; the majority of all but the most serious cases, we can manage remotely, because some of these towns simply can’t get doctors 24/7 and this assists local staff,” the Australian National University-

“I think there will be issues where we should do better than the Council before, such as roads, footpaths, and water resources,” he said.

He said that, while two perfect rainfall years may have pushed water security to the back of the pile, the problem will return, sooner or later, with even greater urgency.

“The reason is, that in the next drought, we will have thousands more people and the population will have grown.

“We should look to store the water when we have the floods. I appreciate the water harvesting scheme to get the most out of our current supplies, but if there’s no storms, there’s no harvesting,” he said.

He believes that Council will eventually have to look at a large infrastructure project to increase supply. If this is a new dam or increased capacity for the current dams, that is a bullet that will have to be bitten at some point.

“I’m thinking that some sort of increased storage capacity, will have to happen sometime,” he concluded.

LET'S TALKmoney with DANIEL McGREGOR

BECOME A FINANCIAL MASTER CHEF

I

magine you wanted to make the greatest dish you’ll ever serve in your life… what would you need to make sure it was a success? You would need a recipe, high-quality ingredients and time.

will be and the less pressure you will find yourself under. Most Australians wake up at 55 and the alarm bells go off. That’s why most people don’t take financial planning seriously until after they are 55.

Our mission is to help as many people as possible use tried and tested recipes for financial success, combined with whatever time and ingredients they have to create a dish worthy of a financial master chef. How long will you wait before you get cracking?

Cooking up a successful financial future needs exactly the same things.

RECIPE: Just like the classic dishes we all know and love, there are time-tested and proven ways to manage money that will deliver results for anyone prepared to follow the recipe. When it comes to money, most people are throwing all their ingredients in a bowl and hoping they somehow come together. Are you following a recipe when it comes to managing your money?

The point is that when it comes to cooking, if we want to cook well, we follow the process that works. When it comes to money, common sense often goes out the window whilst fear, ignorance and procrastination stop people getting the results they deserve.

P.S. Have you ever noticed the best recipes are often the simplest? It’s the same with money!

HIGH-QUALITY INGREDIENTS: Watch any ‘foodie’ show on TV or go to any nice restaurant in town and you’ll see they often use only a few ingredients, just great quality ones treated with the respect they deserve. You’ve got the starting ingredient when it comes to money – an income. The

next step is to find some savings (even if it’s just a little to get started), then mix in a high-quality super fund, smart and diversified investments, value-for-money mortgage and insurances and all of a sudden you have the best ingredients to start putting together your recipe.

How confident are you that your ingredients are worthy of what you’re wanting to serve up later in life for you and

Just as we all have the ability to learn to cook, we all have the ability to learn to manage our money successfully.

your family?

TIME: You’ll no doubt have seen how cooking shows on TV use time pressure to make things dramatic, “5, 4, 3, 2, 1!”. If you had one chance to cook for your life, how much time and preparation would you put into it? Your financial future is no different.

The sooner you start working on this, the better. The more time you have to prepare and work with, the better your results

Follow the recipes passed down through generation, completely independent and free from the conflicts of financial products, and you will see your net worth rocket upwards over time.

Cheers, Daniel

Love the taste of country living?

OLD-STYLE BLAYNEY SHOW SATURDAY

N

Feel like a good old-fashioned taste of rural Australia this weekend? Why not head out to Blayney!

othing quite captures the unique qualities of country living like a traditional agricultural show.

Fresh from a record-breaking event last year and an Agricultural Society’s Innovation Award, Blayney Show is on again this weekend, Saturday, March 19 with the hard work of dozens of volunteers the key to the event’s enduring success.

Due to a serendipitous fluke of timing, Blayney was one of the few country shows that missed the pandemic lockdowns for both 2020 and 2021.

With quarantine measures now effectively over, organisers say it is the perfect time to get back into the swing of things.

“We’ve been extremely lucky we were able to have a Show both years in early March, we’ve pretty much never missed a Show!” Secretary Rosemary Reid enthused about the event, which

was first held way back in 1878.

“We had a record attendance last year, around the 2000 mark with over 1000 entries in the animals section, ring events for the horses; because of COVID, we were one of the only shows still open so they came here to qualify for Sydney,” she added.

The Show though has not been totally untouched by the intrusions of the past two years with visitors encouraged to buy their tickets online for the COVID-19 safe event at: www. blayneyshow.com/ “We’re asking people to buy them online; it just makes contact tracing and the like easier,” she said.

“It was a record year for our gatetakings, we were pretty strong in horses and other animal sections,” he said, adding that its timing before the Sydney Show often saw entrants from throughout NSW seeking good results to get them entry to the big show, the Royal Easter at Homebush in three weeks.

He said that with Australians being encouraged to get out and about again in their communities, why not take the time to visit a genuine country show?

“Everyone’s now keen to get back to our normal lives and one of our strengths is that we are a good country show,” Ben said.

“We’re encouraging people to pre-buy,” Show President, Ben Meek added.

With tickets only $10 for adults and $5 for children, the Show also represents great value for money with a number of exciting exhibits.

The local farmer said he couldn’t be happier with the success of the little country show that last year drew hundreds of entrants in the traditional livestock and Ring events.

“We’ve got a snake man from Queensland who’ll be giving an educational talk; we’ve got three different dance groups to perform for us, we’ve got a dog high-jump event,

and some great rides to wrap-up,” he said.

“Tickets are only $30 for a family as well, so it’s not dear,” he added.

Livestock sections include sheep, cattle, show horses, goats, poultry, and a “young judges” section for students from local schools.

Last year numbers were up for this young judges section with more than 150 taking part in the junior judging education sessions and competitions, where they learnt how to assess fleeces, sheep, and cattle.

Ben said the resilience of the Show indicates the strong sense of community in the 7000-population rural-based Shire south of Orange.

“We may have missed a couple of war years, but I think we’re now up to our 144th year.

“I just think there’s a great small-town hospitality feel to the event. Many like it that we’ve still got a good focus on agriculture,” Ben concluded.

A program as varied in style as in genre, the sumptuous harmonies and complexity of fivepart madrigals are juxtaposed with smooth jazz harmonies and will leave you uplifted and connected with nature.

Dedicated to engaging and educating audiences in the world of a cappella music, Vocal Detour members are amongst the most accomplished ensemble singers in Australia and are well versed in a wide variety of styles and genres Orange Regional Conservatorium| March 25 6:30PM | Tickets on sale now orangecon.org.au

The Rubens hit Orange on their ‘Waste A Day’ headline tour across the country, before rounding out 2022 alongside Vance Joy as part of his ‘The Long Way Home’ national tour from September.

‘Waste A Day’, with its slick, breezy melody and the band’s signature lyrical-swirls, is a fresh and inspiring offering from The Rubens, yet also sits comfortably alongside recent fan-favourites from their ‘0202’ album such as ‘Live In Life’ and ‘Masterpiece’. The band said of the track, “Everyday has the potential to be a good day.

Squeeze what you can from it.”

Schapelle Schapelle The Musical After a sell-out season at the 2021 Sydney Comedy Festival, the smash-hit Schapelle Schapelle - The Musical is coming to Orange for a very special gala event!

This fast-paced musical comedy is a satirical exploration of Australia's weakness for media sensationalism, as told through the life of Schapelle Corby upon her arrest for drug smuggling in Bali in 2005.

Fictionalised, but featuring pivotal actual events and verbatim elements, Schapelle Schapelle captures a story of absurdity, opportunism, loneliness and redemption.

I know this isn't a movie, but I still felt the need to review this show, not only because there isn't anything much in the cinemas, let alone seeing these movies before, but I also want to support small screen shows as well.

Arcane is the animated Netflix series based on the Riot Games online multiplayer, League of Legends, and tells the story of two sisters, Vi and Powder. When things take a serious turn, Powder is taken away from Vi over a tragic accident. Vi ends up in jail and Powder beccomes Silco's right-hand man, Jinx.

I have never played League of Legends before, even though I consider myself an ordinary gamer, but when I heard that Arcane was rising to the top, dethroning Squid Game, I knew I wanted to try out the show. And it's worth my nine episodes.

I loved this show, the lore of which was darker than I thought it would be, and I always see the gameplay from League of Legends like a happy-go-lucky multiplayer game. But no, it's actually more than that.

Hailee Steinfeld, as always, brings the best performance in this show as Vi. You know her struggles from losing her sister, and always being a rough and tough fighter.

Schapelle Schapelle is a musical devised and written by an incredibly talented group of young Australian artists, who initially conceived the idea during their time studying at Charles Sturt University, Bathurst and have gone on to create their own production company, Piano Room Productions.

A few members of Piano Room Productions first trod the boards in Orange and this is an opportunity for the local community to witness some of the incredible talent that the region has produced.

Now let's talk about Jinx. This feels like a way better Harley Quinn, and actually, she's ten times better than Harley when it comes to being mentally insane. She always talks to nobody in some scenes, but in her head, it's like she's talking to ghosts who always doubt Jinx.

The animation is spectacular. It feels like the same animation from the music videos like ‘RISE’, remember that song? That was a pretty cool song.

Overall, I highly recommend seeing this show on Netflix, whether you've played League of Legends or not. I'm hoping for a season two to be good, and I'm giving this one a 10/10.

Heritage Rose Group News There are a lot of ideas coming forward, on the management of multiflora as an invasive pest and the best way to deal with the problem in Orange. In the meantime, the group has decided to continue to cut back the rest of these rootstocks.

CUMNOCK MARKET - The Friendly place to visit!

The next Market will be held on

Autumn is well and truly here – such a short summer with no heat waves and enough rain to enhance the vegetative growth we have seen in the Botanic Gardens and in particular the rose gardens.

Saturday 19th March from 9.00 a.m. to 12 noon.

at Crossroads Park Cumnock (opposite General Store) With lots of fabulous country cooks our fresh cakes and biscuits are legendary.

So too are the jams, chutneys and pickles.

There are always stalls with beautiful locally made craft items.

As well, you can stock up on fresh fruit and vegetables.

Stalls will be under-cover if it is raining!

Excellent coffees are available across the road at our General Store.

It was delightful to welcome new member Kylie to the group and we hope her association with the rose group will be a happy and rewarding experience.

On Monday, March 7, a large contingent of Heritage Rose workers continued to deadhead, weed and cut back unruly growth of the multiflora at the Botanic Gardens.

During the morning tea break, Teena Howie demonstrated her technique for the propagation of roses.

Members were able to prepare rose cuttings for propagation in their own gardens to replace lost specimens and possibly add to the stock for the bi-annual sales run by the Friends of the Botanic Gardens. Many thank Teena for an informative session.

At the conclusion of the working bee, members visited the garden of Barb and Geoff Mutton.

Anyone interested in joining the group is asked to call 0427892486 for details. The group meets at the heritage rose garden at 9.30am on the first Monday of each month.

Our group supported John Moss of the Orange Runners Club in his quest to raise funds for PCFA in memory of his long-time friend Dick Potts, who lost his life to Prostate Cancer, by holding an information stand at the recent Running Festival.

CASP is an annual NSW Governmentfunded round of small grants delivered locally by Regional Arts Development Organisations.

Arts OutWest’s CASP 2022 round is focused on community-based, locally developed arts and heritage activities with outcomes that benefit people living in the NSW Central West.

Rotarians continue clean-up tradition Never shy of getting their hands dirty, local Rotarians joined the small army of Clean Up Australia Day volunteers on Sunday, March 6, taking time out of their weekend to keep the Colour City rubbish free.

The Rotary Clubs of Orange members have always attended Clean Up Australia Day events in Orange and this year was no exception.

“It has been a tradition for Rotary Clubs of Orange, to the best of my knowledge for at least 50 years,” said long-standing local Rotarian, Chris Gryllis, explaining that Rotary’s local rubbish collecting activities pre-date the founding of the national day just over 30 years ago.

Pictured above are Len Banks, Chris Gryllis, David Bolton, John Brennan, John Rae and Geoff Bargwanna.

Cowra ComMunity Markets are on this Saturday 19th March at Sid KalLas Oval, from 8am-12noOn. Phone 0473 346 046 for more information.

I am writing in reference to the Orange City Council request for ratepayers to be patient with the parks and gardens staff.

While there are plenty areas that Council seems to be ignoring, there are two areas in particular that I'm angry about.

Firstly, the Botanic Gardens. I know of an elderly couple who until a month or so before Christmas would regularly walk around the gardens.

The lady was in good health, however her husband travelled on an electric scooter due to his health.

Now due to the deteriorating state of the path, they now avoid the gardens.

Sections of the path have been washed away leaving ruts which are potentially dangerous to disabled people, the elderly, families with prams, and little children riding bikes.

Numerous complaints have been made to Council, but nothing has been done to rectify the problem or even to worn visitors of the potential danger.

Council seems to be oblivious to the fact that they could face lawsuits from visitors who could injure themselves on these paths.

The second issue I have is the pedestrian walkway along the northern distributor road, from Clergate Road to Anson Street.

The drive along the distributor and the roadside area looks reasonably tidy. However, take a walk along the walkway, which is behind the mound alongside the southern side of the road, and it is a completely different story.

The grass alongside the path does get cut occasionally, but not as often as it should.

The side of the mound between the path and the road is a different story.

In the few years since the northern distributor road was established, I cannot recall any work done there other than the removal of the odd tree that has fallen across the path.

There was also an extensive and probably expensive watering system installed along the length of the mound, which I have never seen it use, and possibly does not work anymore.

Apart from this area being an eyesore, covered with dead trees, shrubs, blackberries, and numerous other weeds, including noxious weeds, it is also a fire risk.

This potentially could cause damage to the homes along the path.

This issue has also been put to Council on many occasions by different people.

I noticed there was a story in the media last year about a lady who requested that Council do something about this area, which was ignored and continues to be ignored.

It's not rocket science.

It would take a lot of work to clean it up now, but once it is done it would only take minimal effort to maintain.

I hope this letter is not a waste of time, but I suspect it probably will be. ~ GERRY DE ROOY

BARRACKER THE

Few countries love and honour their sports stars like the land down under Genuine and heartfelt grief over the sudden death of two Australian cricket legends in Shane Warne and Rod Marsh shows the special place that sports stars hold in the Australian psyche.

Sport is, and has always been, one of the very-real bonds that tie almost all the citizens of our wide, brown land together.

That both have been afforded the highest honour that any posthumous citizen can receive, a State Memorial Service — for Warne at the MCG, Marsh, at the WACA — was of surprise to no-one.

Marsh was our emblematic and raucous wicket-keeper throughout one of our golden cricketing ages in the 1970s, while Warne was probably the greatest bowler of all time taking more than 700 Test scalps with his beguiling, and often unplayable, leg-spin.

A visiting cricket writer from England controversially claimed once, that no country honours its sports stars like Australians do.

He said that the only-half joking description of the role of Test captain, as “the most important job in the country”, showed that our stars were truly the heroes of peace-time Australia.

A number of critics openly-scoffing at his claim, asking: what about the football-mad soccer fans of Britain, Europe, and South America, where brawls can be caused over a controversial decision?

Or the United States, where great footballers and basketballers are treated more like rock stars and movie celebrities, than elite sportsmen and women?

Others pointed to the then-recent outpouring of grief over Formula 1 Racing Champ, Ayrton Senna, with three-million weeping Brazilians attending the funeral procession through his hometown of São Paulo.

Senna's death was considered to be a national tragedy, with the Government declaring three days of national mourning over his race crash at San Marino in 1994.

How then, could our ratherrestrained national grief over the sporting deaths of, say Test Cricketer

Phillip Hughes in 2014, or racing legend, Peter Brock in 2006, compare?

While many countries idolise their sports stars — people, who in the end, only play a game or drive a car — few countries are as forgiving of their legends as Australians.

In many countries, sports stardom is a two-edged sword. While South American footballers are often treated like demi-gods, they are also subject to violent abuse, threats, and physical danger, if they let those same fans down.

In 1994, Columbian player Andres Escobar, was actually murdered in his hometown after having recently scored an own-goal in his county’s defeat against the United States in a World Cup match.

In Brazil, footballers live in gated, security-obsessed communities due to the local habit of gangs kidnapping them and their families for ransom money!

While in Britain, the adulation for their footballers and cricketers, almost immediately turns to ridicule and contempt in the media and community, if they show any all-toohuman failings on the pitch.

Could you imagine, how Australians would react to say, the kidnapping of Panthers star, Nathan Cleary, or the serious assault of Tim Cahill over an own-goal?

Yet our own sports stars, seem forgiven for almost any infraction with a number of serious criminals literally welcomed back into our football codes after they had “donetheir-time”. As for steroid abuse, there is not an implausible-enough excuse about how a performance-enhancing drug (accidentally) happened to get into the body of one of our sports stars, that we are not prepared to believe.

Australian sport stars live among us, beloved and adulated, with rarely anything other than a bad headline to ever worry about.

AROUND THE grounds

Finals set in First Grade (BOIDC) Cricket

of the season. While Bathurst City played for pride, the visitors looked to use this game as a warm-up before their elimination match this Saturday.

The regular season of the Bathurst Orange Inter-District Cricket competition is now completed.

Last Saturday’s Round 15 featured a number of upsets and entertaining contests with several teams fighting for the last finals spot.

The confirmed top-five finalists are Cavaliers, Rugby Union, St Pat’s Old Boys, Orange City, and City Colts.

With the finals now set, the next couple of weeks is going to decide, who lifts this season’s silverware.

After defeating the Cavaliers in the Bonnor Cup Final, St Pat’s Old Boys bagged another remarkable victory against the maroon-and-grey in the premier cricket competition. The Cavaliers’ third loss in their last four games is a concerning sign before the upcoming finals.

St Pat’s Old Boys will take on the winner from the elimination final between Orange City and City Colts, while the Cavs face a tough Rugby Union side at Wade Park this Saturday, March 19.

St Pat’s Old Boys 4/208 defeated Cavaliers 9/149 With three wins from their last four games, Centrals' late-season push kept them within a chance of clinching the fifth and last final’s spot on the final match day. Unfortunately, the Orange side suffered a fivewicket loss at the hands of Bathurst’s City Colts.

After a solid start in the batting department, Centrals struggled to deal with City Colts’ quick and accurate bowling. The visitors also performed exceptionally well when it was their turn to bat, neutralising any threat from Centrals’ star bowlers.

Despite narrowly missing out on the finals, Centrals put on an entertaining display in the race for fifth spot.

This side definitely has potential, so there’s no doubt they will also contest for the finals next season.

City Colts 5/146 defeated Centrals 144 With fourth spot and their finals qualification already in the bag, Orange City suffered a rare defeat to Bathurst City in the last regular round

ORANGE CITY LIFE

Orange City has lost their last two games, leaving them less confident going into the elimination final with City Colts this weekend. In addition, they will need to rectify some technical issues if they are to go deep in the finals.

Bathurst City 7/132 defeated Orange City 131

The Bathurst side emulated their incredible Bonnor Cup grand final performance with their accurate bowling and electric batting guiding them to a 59-run victory. Worryingly, the Cavaliers produced another underwhelming performance in the batting department, a disturbing trend that continues to haunt the 2022 minor premiers.

54

Bathurst City’s impressive bowling display caught Orange City by surprise, forcing the bottle greenand-white into an uncomfortable position. The home side placed themselves in a strong position with some exceptional batting early on, eventually beating Orange City by the finest of margins.

CYMS pulled off one of the season’s biggest upsets in Round 15 after defeating second-placed Rugby Union by 62 runs.

The home side's exceptional performance in the batting department applied early pressure on Rugby Union’s bowlers. A calm approach to this contest allowed CYMS’ Rory Daburger to excel in both batting and bowling.

Rory’s half-century put CYMS in a commanding position before taking the field.

Even though the green-and-gold have been out of the finals’ equation for quite some time, the Orange side finished the 2021-22 season on a positive note.

CYMS 7/164 defeated Rugby Union 102

Orange District Cricket Association - Second Grade In the last round of the local secondgrade competition, Cavaliers topped the division claiming the minor premiership. With Kinross Firsts and Orange City finishing on 89 points, Kinross clinched second place thanks to the better net run-rate. Centrals ended up in fourth spot, snatching the last finals place off CYMS and Gladstone.

Orange City Invitational Rugby 10s Despite the challenging preparations, the famous Orange City Invitational Rugby 10s still held an entertaining show at Waratahs Sports Club last Saturday. Played in ideal weather conditions, various teams from NSW battled it out in the

MARCH 17 — 23, 2022

with ANTHONY BARBAGALLO

prestigious competition.

There were 16 teams in the Open Men’s division, making it one of the most competitive and investing groups in this tournament’s 19th edition. The Pacifica Barbarians finally claimed the Orange City 10s silverware, displaying plenty of strength and charisma throughout their run to glory. In some of the other trophy finals, UNSW secured the Cup, and the Orange City U21s took out the Plate.

Basketball action: Men’s Division 4 There is currently an exciting topfour battle in this season’s Basketball Men’s Division 4. Three sides, all within touching distance, are aiming to cement their places in the top-four circle.

Last Thursday, division leaders Fil Aus Ballers survived a tough test against third-placed Blue Fakers.

This tight contest brought the best resilience in Fil Aus Ballers, especially in the offensive set-plays. The competition leaders eventually beat the Blue Fakers 55-42, maintaining their four-point cushion at the top of the table.

Boys High School Division 4 As the basketball season comes to a close, there are still four teams fighting for glory in the Boys High School Division 4. Last Thursday’s Round 14 showcased some upsets and high-scoring games, setting up a frantic finish in this entertaining competition. Sixth-placed Kinross Lakers rested with the bye.

After a dominant season so far, division leaders iCons came under attack against the fourth-placed Trojans in the early fixture. By dominating the three-pointers and defensive department, the Trojans pulled off an incredible upset against the iCons. The Trojans edged out a victory with a 29-20 score; sending a strong message to the rest of the topfour competition.

In the next match-up, secondplaced Mervs Wildcats cruised to a 51-21 victory against fifthplaced Ghostbusters. The superior performance keeps the pressure on the competition leaders.

In the 7.40pm game, third-placed OAGS Inferno put on a dominant display against last-placed Kinross Bulls. OAGS Inferno outplayed their opponents in every aspect, earning them a whopping 68-17 win and a decent chance of staying in touching distance with the two teams in front.

Prestigious Australia Cup football COMES TO ORANGE The renowned Australia Cup (formerly known as the FFA Cup), came to Orange on Sunday for the NSW Preliminary Round 2 elimination phase. Barnstoneworth United and Waratahs FC (both Western Premier League sides) successfully advanced to the next round after defeating challenging Sydney sides.

These Australia Cup games are a perfect opportunity to promote football in the Colour City and provide these two local teams with a chance to continue their dream in this prestigious national football tournament.

Barnstoneworth United successfully eliminates Thirroul Thunder

supportive crowd that keeps their Australia Cup hopes alive.

Barnstoneworth United is through to the next round of the Australia Cup after recording an impressive 2-1 win over Thirroul Thunder at Jack Brabham. The red-and-whites advance to Round Three, extending their journey in this significant national football tournament.

Barnstoneworth United goalkeeper, Brock Logan, explained how the team’s pre-season preparations helped them overcome this challenging Australia Cup match.

Barnies got off to a flying start, applying offensive pressure with their attacking football style. The home side scored the opener inside the first five minutes off Charlie Ross’ chip from outside the 18-yard box.

With Barnstoneworth dominating the possession and entertaining the crowd, Thirroul Thunder patiently sat back and absorbed the offensive assault. But the Wollongong-based side soon countered with a surprising equaliser in the 15th minute.

Going into the break at 1-1, Barnies entered the second 45 with greater intensity. The Orange side’s persistence upfront eventually paid dividends when they took the lead in the 68th minute through Josh Ward’s thunderbolt header off a precise corner.

Barnstoneworth calmly dictated the game’s tempo for the remaining 20 minutes, keeping a frustrated Thirroul in their half. As a result, Barnies edged out a famous 2-1 victory in front of a

Waratahs experienced a rocky start to the game, with several players showing some nerves due to the stature of the contest. Roselea FC pounced on this issue by taking an early lead, but it didn’t last long, with the home-side quickly responding with a stunning equaliser.

“The boys have been keen for a competitive game, and to pick up the win is fantastic. We have been working on new tactics and positioning; it’s nice to see our hard work pay off. I have some Australia Cup experience from when I played in Sydney, so I know what's involved in this tournament. It’s always a great feeling to get a cup run together and progress throughout the rounds and possibly play a team who you would never usually play. We will look forward to Round Three and hope we can keep the run alive,” Brock stated.

The ‘Tahs scored their equaliser through Lachie Peet’s emphatic header off an accurate and rapid cross. As the game progressed, the home side grew in confidence and ventured forward with more freedom and fluidity.

It’s a tremendous competitive start to Barnies’ 2022 season, which will give them an abundance of confidence before next month’s Western Premier League kick-off.

Waratahs knockout Roselea FC in exciting fashion

The tensions intensified towards the latter stages of the first half, with Waratahs’ trickery and quick movement continually frustrating the Roselea players. Craig Sugden almost doubled the Western Premier League side’s lead after hitting the post with his powerful free-kick, but the home side still had a firm 2-1 lead going into the break.

Waratahs advanced to the third round of the Australia Cup after a gutsy 3-2 victory over North West Sydney’s Roselea FC. The historic win showed that Orange’s most decorated football club looks stronger than ever.

Waratahs held on to a hard-fought 3-2 victory in the end. Eliminating a difficult Sydney club in this premier cup tournament is undoubtedly a massive confidence booster for the Waratahs going forward.

After Waratahs consistently knocked on Roselea’s door, the blue-and-whites pulled in front with a mesmerising set play. Some crisp passing and a delicate lob set up Waratahs’ Lachie Peet with the opportunity to calmly dispatch his shot into the bottom corner of the net.

Buckle up because you’re in for quite a long ride! The longest car in the world has finally been restored and is ready to cruise, according to Guinness World Records. On March 1, the super limo rolled in at a length of 30.54 metres, breaking its 1986 record title by a small fraction. First built in Burbank, California in 1986 by famed car customiser Jay Ohrberg, "The American Dream" originally measured 18.28 metres, rolled on 26 wheels, and had a pair of V8 engines at the front and rear. Ohrberg later extended the limo to an astounding 30.5 metres long. To put its immense size into perspective, most cars measure between 3.6 to 4.2 metres.

In fact, you would need to park 8 Toyota Yaris cars in a single file line to match the length of The American Dream vehicle.

CROSS purposes In the line

WITH GREG

It’s funny how in 24hrs one’s response to something BLANCH 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 Show us your THUMBS — EMAIL: tom@oclife.com.au | FACEBOOK: inbox “orangecitylife” | SMS 0459 022 084 this is a text only number STANDARD SMS RATES APPLY

THUMBS UP to the service I received from Sophia at the RMS. It was far above my expectations! She solved my problem quickly and efficiently, her attention was second-to-none. She is a first-class lady.

THUMBS DOWN to a barber that was told to just “take a little bit of the top”, but who then proceeded to cut-and-shave, until barely any hair was left. Why even ask, if you are just going to ignore it?

THUMBS UP to Phyllis and her family for organising the road easement out the front of Carinya on Prince Street to be fixed. All the residents of Carinya Retirement Village, appreciate it greatly.

THUMBS UP to my new battery-operated Toro hedge-trimmer. I had suffered from a toy-like one for years, but the new Toro made taming my endless number of hedges a breeze.

I bought mine at Central Mowers and Endsleigh Ave.

THUMBS UP to Brad and the team at Inspirations Paint Orange for their generous donation of paint supplies to the Cudal Men’s Shed.

THUMBS UP to Katrina, an occupational therapist at Orange Hospital, for all her assistance and help recently with new rails fitted at our home. We are thankful for all your help.

THUMBS DOWN to the bloke relieving himself on the side of Icely Road in full view of passing traffic.

You should count yourself lucky a police car wasn’t passing by.

THUMBS DOWN What is it with just about all reporters (TV and radio) who, when reporting on storm damage, say “rooves were torn-off”? The English language does not have the word “rooves”. The plural of roof is roofs, just like “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. Go back to kids books and learn our language. If you think this is nit-picking, then you’re absolutely correct — singling out nitwits!

THUMBS DOWN to the people who drive transit/ delivery vans and park so close to the neighbouring cars, that you can’t get into them. Have a little consideration. Your vehicles are bigger than the average car. You make life very difficult for other drivers.

THUMBS UP to the Water Crew at Orange City Council. They worked until 11pm to fix a leak in the main outside our place and rigged-up a temporary connection for us. I hope they are very well-paid!

THUMBS UP to Poppy Gryllis Optometrist. Such a thorough and delightful lady to deal with.

THUMBS UP to the staff of Benjamin Short Nursing Home on Huntley Road, Orange. They have saved my brother’s life and continue to treat him like a king.

THUMBS DOWN to the television stations who showed the day-to-day events of the Olympics, but not the day-to-day events of the Paralympics. These athletes have worked harder than ever to prove their worth in their chosen sport, yet it appears they don't seem to be aired on regular television.

THUMBS UP to the man who noticed I'd left keys in my car, left the store, locked the car, and brought keys back to reception. As a visitor to Orange, I was very grateful.

THUMBS UP to the nurses in Coronary Care at Orange Health Service for the loving care they gave my wife before her passing. We will never forget your efforts and kindness, from her husband and two daughters.

THUMBS UP to Craig from Eagle Eye Pest Control for quickly and efficiently dealing with the European wasps that had decided to set up home in the roof above my front door.

Whatever he did, they were gone in a day or two. Much appreciated!

THUMBS UP to the amazing service team at Orange Motor Group, who were above and beyond yesterday. I was feeling very unwell when I went to pick my car up, they offered to drive it and me home, but I was so unwell, we ended up having to call an ambulance.

Thank you to Neville and the team for providing that community support.

THUMBS UP to Dr Grant Westcott at Orange Hospital Emergency Department, for his kind, considerate, and compassionate care during my recent visit there. He is an outstanding Emergency Physician and a tremendous asset to the Hospital.

THUMBS UP to the man and lady who helped my 87-year-old husband, who fell in the wet at the Summer Street IGA and cut his head open. Your care is much appreciated.
