I find the end of daylight savings always comes as a relief. Now I’m personally not against it and I would generally say, if asked, that I enjoy the extra hours of afternoon sun in the summer. But, by this time of year, after a few weeks of getting up in the dark, I’m ready for it to be over.

With the change of clocks comes the inevitable debate about whether we should scrap the whole daylight savings idea together. It is interesting to read just how bad changing the clocks might be for our health. For example, there are measurable increases in road accidents and pedestrian fatalities in the week after we move the clocks forward an hour; hospitals record higher numbers of heart accidents, and there are other notable health impacts. Thankfully the change at this end of the season is less problematic.

20

Over in the US, in a somewhat surprising move, they are currently debating making daylight saving time permanent, which of course comes with its own problems (such as some residents not seeing the sun creep up over the horizon until 9.30am in the winter).

Did somebody say "chocolate"...

I guess whichever way we set the clocks, arranging your ‘daytime’ and ‘nightime’ activities by an arbitrary number rather than the sun, means there will always have to be compromises made.

I don’t know the answer, but my main takeaway from reading about the whole debate is just how important getting good sleep is. I just wish someone could convince my children.

Speaking of children, the school holidays are almost upon us. Good luck to all you parents out there and I’ll see you on the other side!

briefly

with DAVID DIXON

Orange’s new sports precinct will include eight sports fields, a purpose-built athletics track, and a marque field with a grandstand and sloped areas that can house 8000 spectators.

Too big to fail and moral hazards of our big banks Recently I received correspondence from my bank which was so intrusive and presumptuous in its tone, I immediately suspected a scam letter.

On the basis of a failure to meet a payment on an overdraft facility (okay, okay, I’m not the world’s best financial organiser), they sent a letter asking if we needed help — from the bank — in selling our house!

This “house” is the family home we built 30-years ago, raised our children in, and for which we paid off our home loan a decade ago; that is also worth about 5000 times the overdraft bill.

Heading down to the branch, I was glibly assured that the letter was genuine and was told with breezy indifference: “we’re sending these off to everyone now who gets behind”.

When did banks become our unsolicited financial advisors, assuming that we may need help with life-changing financial decisions? What happened to the good old days of, “pay-up or these penalties ensue”?

Well, I suppose it was when they decided to become, like so much big business today, the moral arbiters of our society; telling us in smug, self-assured terms, what social causes we should support, believe in, and applaud.

No longer rocks of financial probity carefully and judiciously harnessing the financial markets for our benefit, they’re now busy-body social engineers congratulating themselves for their virtuous patronage of currently fashionable causes their marketing sections point them at.

In a supposedly free-market economy, how do they get away

with this? Simply put, they’re too big to fail.

This was one of the startling revelations from those who remember the Global Financial Crisis of 2008 that saw the world teetering on the abyss of a second Great Depression.

NEW ORANGE SPORTS PRECINCT ONE STEP CLOSER

We found that, when giant multinational conglomerates suddenly faced bankruptcy from their profligate profit chasing of any and all “derivatives” — stocks and bonds based on the wealth of an asset that they themselves did not own — it was the taxpayer that bailed them out.

Next stage of work on Orange’s new $25 million sports precinct got underway this week.

This follows last week’s decision by the NSW Heritage Council giving permission for work to begin at the site of the former Ex-Services Golf Course.

Companies that had been paying huge salaries and bonuses during the boom years suddenly turned around and immediately demanded governments, including our own, save them from the results of their own greed.

When complete, the precinct will include eight sports fields, a purposebuilt athletics track, and a marque field with a grandstand and sloped areas that can house 8000 spectators.

The work, which began on Monday, will see the removal of a number of established trees and demolition of a small former golf club building.

Which we did, cowardly politicians simply decided that these companies were “too big to fail” and rescued them to the tune of trillions of taxpayer dollars.

Didn’t this save us from a great recession? Yes and no. This vast transfer of wealth from ordinary taxpayers to giant institutions may have put off a day of reckoning, but at a huge cost for which we are still paying.

Another insidious result is the “moral hazard” from these bail-outs — rewarding risky financial decisionmaking simply stores up the pain of our next crash.

This is expected to take approximately four weeks with Orange Mayor, Councillor Jason Hamling saying that the site will eventually see more trees planted

Another result? Having our bank offer to “help us” sell the family home; meanwhile lecturing everyone on the correct moral attitude to issues of no real concern to them.

“The line of old elms along the internal road is going to stay as a brilliant backdrop for the new parklands. 784 new trees will be planted on the site,” he said.

Orange City Council Sport and Recreation Committee chair, Cr Tammy Greenhalgh welcomed the start of work.

“The families of Orange will be very pleased to see progress. It’s a great vote of confidence in the thought that’s gone into this project, that planning approvals have now been given and stage of work can start,” Cr Greenhalgh concluded.

Union representatives fired up local nurses at Robertson Park recently who were striking for the second time in as many months against State Government staff-to-patient ratios.

The nurses claim that chronic understaffing and new infection protocols introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, have made their workload intolerable.

“Thank you to the membership for electing me to the position. I consider it a privilege to be part of this wonderful organisation, and at such a crucial time in our history.”

Dr Ryan recently met with Orange City Council staff to be briefed about progress of the new Conservatorium/ Planetarium project that was approved by the previous Council and is being constructed at the Civic Square.

“It’s a band-aid approach, and the band-aid is being ripped off,” President of the Orange Health Services Branch of the Nurses and Midwife’s Association, Grace Longlands told the crowd of about 100 striking staff.

“Nurses are not nurses because of the money, nurses are nurses because we care,” she told the workers from Orange, Bloomfield, and Canowindra hospitals who took part in the statewide 24-hour stoppage.

The strikers followed the rally with a march around the exterior of Robertson Park with a number of placards highlighting their grievances.

briefly Warm with enthusiasm, crowd braves brisk weather for night markets return

Cool and gusty weather greeted visitors to Orange for the first day of F.O.O.D Week, but despite the drop in temperature over 4,000 people braved the cold in Robertson Park on Friday evening for the return of the night markets.

“By the end, there was certainly around four to four-and-a-half thousand people,” said Orange360 General Manager, Caddie Marshall.

“It was a great vibe. It was lovely to see people from Queensland who came down and were there sharing the big, long tables with locals — it was back to the F.O.O.D Week night markets of old.

“And it was a really cold night, so it meant that the people who were there absolutely wanted to be in there in the park!”

Despite the COVID lockdowns late last year delaying the start of ticket sales ahead of F.O.O.D Week, most of the signature events sold out well ahead of time.

The weather held for the long-table lunch for 300 in Sampson Street last Saturday and this Friday (April 8), the F.O.O.D Train will be ferrying people from Sydney for a curated weekend of food and wine in Orange, including the festival's main event, Forage.

“We have been watching the weather and the rain (damage), but we have a clear track leaving Central Station on Friday,” said Caddie.

F.O.O.D Week concludes this weekend with Sunday’s Producers Brunch and Markets in Cook Park.

Friendship of st rangers — unique mission of Orange Ionian Club — DAVID DIXON —

Ultimately, we are all pilgrims in life — though a uniquely Australian club at Orange has as its aim the welcoming of newcomers to the Colour City.

Orange Ionian Club — named after the first Hellenic settlers of Ancient Greece — are celebrating their 48th Birthday with a special lunch and fashion parade at Duntryleague Golf Club.

The local club was formed when the creator of Ionian Clubs Australia-wide came to Orange in the early 1970s.

“The first club was formed 75 years ago in Launceston, Tasmania by Mrs Phyllis McDonald, after she had to move there and wanted to make new friends,” local Club President, Helen Karrasch explained.

“She then moved to Orange in 1974 and formed the Orange club; she was a very sociable lady,” Helen added.

Since then, the club has been a welcoming face to women newcomers — many of whom were dutifully following their husband’s career moves or making treechange lifestyle choices — that have brought them to our fair city.

“We moved to Orange in 2012 from Brisbane, and I joined Ionians in 2013; being a new resident in town, it was

good to find something in town I could join right away,” Helen said.

and preservative stalls, with funds going to charities like FoodCare and Riding for the Disabled.

“It’s very hard coming to a new town and not knowing anyone… they used to say, you had to be here 35 years to be considered a local, so it’s a great group for people who want to get involved in the community from the start.”

The club’s ethos of friendship also proved crucial for members during the lockdowns of the past two years with an initiative to ensure that home-bound members were not left socially isolated.

In recent times though, the club has increased its appeal with women looking to keep socially active in their later years, Helen explained.

“We had a ‘phone-tree’ established to call members to keep in touch during COVID — just to make sure that, when you’re in lockdown at home, that you were okay,” Helen explained.

“The Club have broadened their membership; we used to be only for new people, but now we have people who live in the town and have retired, it’s a friendship club, basically.

“We go on excursions, we’re going to an outing to Cowra to see the Archibald Show at the Gallery… we also have a bookshop and a Solo Club… we have nearly 70 members,” she added.

The Club also has one charity day in October each year where members run various produce, embroidery, plants,

learning how to lose The ancient and noble game of chess teaches young players one superpower you will never see in a Marvel or DC movie; how to lose graciously.

Orange’s long-standing junior chess tournament is back these school holidays, with the chance for parents to get the kids off the iPads for a day for some sporting fun with their peers.

a live across-the-board game, Bevan believes.

The under 18s event is on again at the St Barnabas Anglican Church Parish Hall on Friday, April 22 with special prizes at this year’s event for those looking to improve their game.

He added that this infinitely complex game, developed in India and Persia in the 12th century, is the perfect antidote to our risk-averse, helicopter-parented generation.

“There have been some books donated on chess and I’ll be giving these away as door prizes,” event organiser, Bevan Clouston said.

“Chess teaches adaptability, taking positive action, maximising opportunities, and taking them when they arise,” he said.

While online chess games became popular during the lockdown with the ancient board game undergoing a pandemic boom, there’s nothing like

“A lot of players have been missing overthe-board tournaments, that’s definitely true,” he said.

He added that chess is a game where everyone, even the world’s best players, have to learn to take defeat graciously.

“It’s a game that encourages friendly, serious, competition… but the great thing

is, that it teaches you how to lose.

“This goes for even the world’s best players because, no matter how good they are, there is almost always someone better,” he added.

“In chess, you’ve also got to learn to lose, the best players in the world get beaten, and that’s a great quality.”

He said that the event is for players of all levels: “You don’t have to be good, this is a fun tournament, but a knowledge of the rules is required and tournament conditions will be applied.

“The games will be timed with chess clocks. Don’t worry if you have never played with clocks. You’ll be told how they work.

“The results will also be sent to the NSW

Junior Chess League for ratings,” he added.

The Orange Autumn Chess Tournament is on at the St Barnabas Anglican Church Parish Hall on the corner of Dora and McLachlan Streets, east Orange on Friday, April 22 from 9.30–3.30pm.

Event entry is $22 per player with sibling discounts available. Trophies will be presented for first, second and third placegetters in different age categories.

Entry should be in by Wednesday, April 20 by contacting event coordinators Bevan Clouston on 0415 828 613 (email: bkclouston@gmail.com) Late entry on the day will cost $25; players should bring their own lunch, refreshments, and a water bottle.

Bale art and scarecrows comp puts a smile on country faces Following drought, bushfires, low commodity prices, and two years of COVID-19 — anything that puts a smile on country dials is a worthwhile exercise.

Display and judging of Blayney’s quirky “Sculptures by the Bush” competition is on now with winners announced next Monday.

Originally a hay bale art competition where bales were made up into comic creations, it has now expanded into two other categories to include iconic farm art and spooky scarecrows.

The bale art idea was first incorporated along the major route of a popular pushbike race that travelled through the Shire, Blayney Manager of Tourism and Communications; Megan Rodd explained.

“It started as a ‘hay bale challenge’ about 10 years ago; it used to be aligned with a popular bicycle race, the ‘B2B’ Challenge that went through Bathurst to Blayney.

“Three years ago, however, we expanded the competition across the whole Shire with the other categories so that everyone could get involved.”

She said that the event is a wonderful way for locals to get creative and which also raises peoples’ moods in the rural-based Shire.

“People love to get involved and the event is good for community spirit, it also brings people out to the region,” Megan said.

“It’s a bit of fun, creative… it just brings a smile to your face to see the entries,” she added.

A feature of the challenge is the easy availability of all entries in a rural Shire where almost everyone drives.

“They’re accessible, all entries have to be able to be seen from a public road.

“We’ve got about 13 entries so far, but there is always a bit of a last-minute rush,” she said.

The competition's three classifications incorporate the Hay Bale Art Challenge, a Farm Art Challenge, and the Scarecrow Competition.

The Hay Bale Art Challenge is for sculptures primarily created out of hay while using a variety of artistic resources such as paint, cardboard, fabric, wood and other recycled materials.

Previous entries have ranged from large artworks with multiple hay bales to simple artworks with one or two bales.

The Farm Art Challenge is a sculpture or artwork made out of any farm-related resources that aren’t primarily hay bales. This can be corrugated iron, wire, wood, or old machinery.

The Scarecrow Challenge involves creating a

“We do virtual judging, I go around and take photos of all the entries for the judges, we’ve got representatives of Arts OutWest, Council, and the community,” Megan explained.

“The judges do their ranking over the weekend, and we have a media event on Tuesday, April 12 where we officially announce the winners,” she added.

Artworks will be judged with cash prizes: a not-to-besneezed-at (unless you suffer hay fever!) $300 for first place; $200 for second place; and $100 for third place in each category.

A “People’s Choice Award” will be presented to entries that receive the most “likes” on the competition’s “Sculptures by the Bush” Facebook page.

‘People need a lit tle kindness’ —

40 years of Bloomfield Hospital Auxiliary

Your chance to “help the helper s” at the Bloomfield Hos pital Auxiliar y, Si st er Mar y Traino Tania O’Donah r, ue, and Luke O ’Donahue.

— JONATHAN ROE —

For 40 years, Sister Mary Trainor and the volunteers of Bloomfield Hospital Auxiliary have been offering a little kindness and hope to patients — now they themselves could really use a helping hand Founded in October 1982, the Bloomfield Hospital Auxiliary has been supporting patients and staff of the hospital by fundraising to meet needs as they arise — no matter how big or small.

of pleasure and a little bit of hope, so every resident in Bloomfield Hospital will get a bunny or Easter egg courtesy of the auxiliary — and at Christmas, we give a present to every resident.”

“Basically, what we do is we raise money and then, at the meetings, decide how to spend that money. We go through any requests that come-up, and anything that needs addressing amongst the wards,” said Acting President Tania O’Donahue.

For 22 years, Sr Mary was the Bloomfield Hospital Chaplain and has remained with the auxiliary as she understands that it fills a real need.

Over the years, the auxiliary has paid for a wide variety of items, such as a fish pond, sensory garden, pool tables, boxing bags, a new garden shed, a therapy dog, and even Easter eggs to distribute among the wards every Easter.

“You might say, ‘now that's a waste’, but no, it's not,” said Sr Trainor, who has held the position of secretary since the founding of the auxiliary. “It gives a little bit

“There’s all the extra things, like if people come in from being (sleeping rough) under a bush for the last six weeks, or under a bridge or somewhere; anything they're wearing you wouldn't insult the washing machine with. So what do they wear?

“Vinnies (who do provide clothes) don't do underwear, so we will get a supply of underwear from time to time so that people who come in with nothing can have proper underwear,” she said.

And all the little things they do to make life in the

hospital better, make a big difference, she said.

“As Chaplain, I realised how much these people needed a little bit of kindness,” said Sr Mary. “The hospital can’t go and get a punching bag or a bicycle or a sensory garden and they seem to be things that the people respond to positively.”

But for the past two years, COVID has put a hold on all the usual auxiliary fundraising activities, said Tania.

Generous donations and grants have been enough to keep the work of the auxiliary going, but they could really use more help to get out and raise more money.

“We haven’t held a barbecue for two years now, but you can't have a barbecue run by four members, we need more help on those days for setting up, taking shifts cooking one to serve, we need to have more people,” she said.

If you could lend at hand to the Bloomfield Hospital Auxiliary, email Sr Mary at: mary.trainor@mercy.org.au or call 662 1662; Tania O'Donahue can be reached on 0434 429 183.

Membership fee is currently only $5 per year and monthly meetings are held at Bloomfield Hospital on the second Wednesday of each month at 12.30pm.

Me m o r i e s

by Ne d

As a small boy growing up in the 1930s, sometimes my teacher – who normally drove me to school – would have to work back and I had to find my own way home. I did not mind at all for a short distance; I had the company of fellow pupils but, from then on, I was on my own. I gravitated onto the railway line, quite often there were fettlers running the line on their push-pull trolley,

when I asked to ride on it, I was usually told to “go away” but, every so often they would let me ride, it was great – two burly fettlers working the levers scooting along the line, sitting up front with the wind in my face.

They must have been foreigners, because when I used some of their words at home, Mum threatened to wash out my mouth with soap and water!

It was then that I decided to be a train driver. Driving an express with a full head of steam through a rainy night and the satisfaction of pulling into the station dead on time. A couple of years as a “fireman” shovelling coal sort of soured that dream, but the thought is still there.

From there on, my task in walking home was to avoid a large flock of geese. The gander had an aversion to small boys and, if I got too close, he would flap his wings, neck outreached, hissing and cackling and chase me, he bluffed me every time.

I would then be drawn to a dredging operation in the creek, all noise and pumps, the motors and pumps were on a raft of 44-gallon drums with huge jets of water washing-away the creek bank and the clatter of buckets of soil taken to the top of the “Long Tom” (sluice box) it was a complete hive of activity. One afternoon, they were washing up the day’s operation and I remember a gold dish with the bottom covered with gold.

On walks with Grandpa, we went through old mining areas with diggers holes everywhere. Grandpa showed me the holes dug by the Chinese miners. Whereas most miners' holes were rectangular, the Chinese holes were round. In one area, the miners had dug a viaduct to bring water to the field. It was miles long with timber fluming over a creek. It was a really smart piece of engineering and must have taken ages to construct – the remains are still visible today.

Sometimes, we would take our gold pan with us and wash some of the tailings – plenty of colour but no nuggets. I soon tired of it, rabbiting was more interesting and productive.

One day, I was allowed to go down one of the working mines. They had dug down until striking an ancient creek bed and followed this layer of alluvial gold-bearing soil. These tunnels were shored-up with timber and candles were burning every few feet. The soil was put into a bucket and hauled up to the surface with a hand-operated windlass and washed in the gold pan to extract any gold. Being claustrophobic, I wasn’t too happy in the mine. I remember looking up from the bottom of the shaft and seeing stars shining in the middle of the day. Grandpa always said, “Avoid gold-fever; ‘John Barleycorn’ (grog), and ‘Wandering Milly’ (gottago)...” I guess he was right. I’ll leave you with a few lines of a poem I like by Edgar Alan Poe: “Gaily delight a gallant knight In sunshine and in shadow Had Journeyed long In search of Eldorado”.

Jayco Orange’s record awards haul at annual dealer dinner Orange’s local Jayco dealership continues to punch above its weight, recently sweeping four major awards at the caravan manufacturers' annual dealer conference in Melbourne.

Covering more than 150 dealers and service agents across the entire Australian and New Zealand Jayco network, the awards are presented annually for excellence in sales and customer service.

At the conference dinner last month, Jayco Orange took out awards for Outstanding Customer Service, Financial High-Achiever of the Year, and the Jayco Century Club Award (given for selling more than 100 new caravans in a year).

And to top it all off, Jayco Orange Dealer Principal Greg Davis was named the “2021 Jayco Salesperson of the Year”.

Canobolas Marine and Jayco Orange Manager, Lee Mackenzie was thrilled to prove that this country dealership could match it with sellers across Australia and New Zealand.

“We’ve taken on the big boys and proven little-old Orange can go up against Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane — All Australian and New Zealand dealers — and take out all the top awards,” said Lee.

“It’s recognition that our customers appreciate the service that they receive from us,” he added.

doing well,” he said.

While their sales this past year were probably on par with others in the network, Greg said these awards recognise the consistently-good feedback Jayco Orange receives from its customers.

“It is quite an achievement,” said Greg.

“And it is unusual, I'm not aware in all the years I've been doing it, that anyone got the majority of the awards handed out.”

Greg, who has been with Jayco for the past 14 years, said this last conference was actually the first he’d missed in all that time, so he wasn’t there to accept his award in person.

“I wasn't aware that we were getting the awards; it is always a surprise when it is handed out during the dealer conference dinner,” he explained.

Caravan sales across the entire dealer network have been particularly strong over the past few years, said Greg, with the pandemic seeing more Australians exploring their own backyard rather than head overseas.

“We probably sold two years' worth in 12 months last year… but all Jayco dealers are

“People come to us from all over Australia.

There are people that have dealt with us in the past and continue to deal with us, and will travel to have that relationship with us still, which is good,” he said.

“And we have many customers, locally particularly, who would not consider buying from anybody else; they are repeat customers over many, many years.

“We are consistent in our hand-overs to the customers, in as far as customer satisfaction is concerned and, last year we were above everybody else in regards to finance with sales made — so it has been a good year,” Greg concluded.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS Japanese encephalitis has been gaining much attention recently so what is it and what can we do to prevent infection?

WHAT IS JAPANESE ENCEPHALITIS? Japanese Encephalitis (JE) is a viral disease that causes an infection of the brain. It is spread by mosquitoes, usually between birds and some mammals, particularly pigs.

When a mosquito bites an infected animal and then bites another animal it can pass on the infection. Humans are not a main target species for the virus, but they can get the disease if they are bitten by an infected mosquito. JE cannot spread from person to person.

Most humans who are bitten by an infected mosquito do not get sick, fewer than one per cent of people bitten by an infected mosquito will get symptoms. However, some can get a severe infection and some can die.

ARE THERE ANY KNOWN CASES IN THE CENTRAL WEST? As of 1 April 2022, there have been ten people in NSW found to have JE in the current outbreak, none of these are located within the Central West NSW region. One person in the

Riverina region of NSW has died of the disease and cases have also been detected in Victoria, South Australia and southern Queensland.

WHO IS MOST AT RISK? JE occurs in parts of Asia and the Pacific. For most travellers the risk of infection is very low but may be higher for people staying more than a month in rural areas. JE has been very rare in Australia and the patterns of spread in Australia are still being studied.

At present JE has been identified in commercial piggeries in NSW, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia. The people who are most at risk are those who work at piggeries that have been infected or live nearby and people doing outdoor activities such as camping and fishing where there are lots of waterways and mosquitoes .

WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? JE causes an inflammation of the brain and people with a severe infection can develop headache, neck stiffness, confusion, tremors or

seizures. Some people with a severe infection may suffer permanent neurological damage.

WHEN DO SYMPTOMS APPEAR? If symptoms are going to occur, they do so about five to fifteen days after having been bitten by and infected mosquito. Of course, if you are in an area with lots of mosquitos there is no way of knowing which mosquito might be infected.

WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I START SHOWING SYMPTOMS? If you are unwell and concerned, you should see your doctor or an emergency department.

HOW CAN I PROTECT MYSELF? Best protection is avoiding being bitten by mosquitos. The ones that commonly transmit JE are most active at dawn and dusk.

• Cover up and use a repellent that contains DEET. • Sleep in a room that is protected by flyscreens.

• If mosquitoes are in the house use an insecticide spray.

• Eliminate collections of water around the house, mosquitoes need only a very small amount of water to breed.

SHOULD I GET VACCINATED? There is a vaccine against JE that is safe and effective. At present vaccination is only recommended for people at high risk.

A week long celebration ernity Fun, Friendship and Frat 6, 2023 TRALIA • MARCH 19-2 PERTH • WESTERN AUS

Emu’s “Golden Oldies” rugby Is looking for new (old) blood Looking to again strap on the boots and relive some past glories on the rugby field? Or maybe just to have a run and enjoy the opportunity to get together with mates?

This Sunday, the Orange Emus ‘Old Boys’ squad, “the Emulators”, are holding a social touch football carnival to drum-up new members ahead of the 2023 Golden Oldies World Rugby Festival in Perth, Western Australia.

“We have the World Cup of Golden Oldies Rugby Union coming up in Perth next year, so we are having a bit of a recruitment drive to see if we can find some more interested players to accompany the dyed-in-the-wool Rugby tragics who have signed up already,” said Emulators club member, Scott Shepherd.

get those 35-years-plus back onto the rugby field. It is a worldwide movement, featuring a modified rule-set that restricts contact by age, so that people can keep enjoying the game into middle-age and beyond.

“A lot of the guys who originally started with Emulators in the early 2000s, are now not so keen on wearing the purple shorts; there's a few hip replacements and knee replacements — doctors are not so keen on you getting on the paddock with bits of titanium stuck in you! So we are just looking to get some more players.”

“Different age groups wear different coloured shorts,” Scott explained. “Once you're over 60 you're in red shorts and you can't be tackled to the ground you can only wrap them up. Over 65 it’s gold shorts and over 70 you are in purple shorts and you can't touch them; you just stand in their vicinity and say tackle and then they have to get rid of the ball.

Sunday’s social touch tournament will be held at the Emu’s Rugby Club from 123pm, with a barbecue to follow.

You can bring a team, a friend, or just show up.

local matches if the idea of travelling to Perth doesn’t hold appeal.

Both men and women, he added, as Golden Oldies rugby is open to anyone over 35 years old.

“But it is mostly just about getting together, telling a few stories, and having a bit of a run down on the paddock.”

Let’s do it again!

“There's a bunch of guys who said they will come along on Sunday for a run, but they are not keen on going to Perth,” he said.

“And we do play other local games.. usually we try to get a game once a month, cause we're not 20 anymore and don't bounce back quite like we used to!”

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT CADIA

SPONSORED CONTENT

Cadia continues support of the Bowen Community Technology Centre Bowen Community Technology Centre Manager, Paula Townsend, Euston Dixon, Kaliqu Morgan and Darly Fernando with Newcrest’s Adrian Lo Faro.

Newcrest Mining’s Cadia Valley Operations (Cadia) has continued its support of the Bowen Community Technology Centre with a $15,000 grant through its Cadia Cares Program.

The Centre, which has been in operation since 2008, assists school-aged children with homework and offers a safe place for guided reading, as well as providing a facility for adults to use computers and printers, free of charge.

Bowen Community Technology Centre Manager, Paula Townsend, said the funding will provide valuable assistance to the Centre.

“Over the last two years many grant opportunities have

been redirected to other areas of need and some funding has been completely withdrawn, as companies try to navigate through lockdowns and restrictions. This has not been the case for Cadia, which has always and continues to support the Centre”, Paula said.

“This years’ donation will ensure our doors stay open, providing the same valuable assistance to clients in a time that it is required the most.

“As well as school children utilising the Centre for homework, computer use and Naplan studies, the Centre is open to all residents needing to access technology including for government enquiries, job applications, printing and letter writing.”

“We are proud to continue our long-standing association with the Bowen Community Technology Centre.

“The Centre provides a valuable service to the local community and ensures everyone has access to technology. Over the years we have seen the enormous impact the Centre has made to the community and we are glad we can continue to provide our support,” Aaron said.

Cadia General Manager, Aaron Brannigan, said the Centre was an important part of the local community.

TAKING A STAND FOR OUR VETERANS - UPDATE I’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks to the hundreds of people from all over Australia who have contacted my offices in support of my stance for more funding to clear the veteran compensation claims backlog.

could have $22.8 million, take it or leave it. I didn’t think that I could look veterans in the eye and tell them that I was happy with that, so I was preparing to resign. It’s really that simple. And I’d do it all again tomorrow. I wasn’t prepared to compromise what I believe to be the right thing to do.

For those who have come into the story late, just over a week ago I was preparing to resign from Cabinet because the $96 million I had requested to help clear the unacceptably high veteran compensation claim backlog was not going to be forthcoming in the Budget. When I inherited the portfolio the claims backlog stood at 55,000 and it has been steadily growing.

There will always be critics, but I stand by everything I said and everything I’ve done. The most important thing is that we now have an additional $96 million to help clear the veteran compensation claim backlog. That surely is why we are in government and what politics is supposed to be all about. Getting results for the people we represent.

The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide has heard some harrowing and tragic stories about the impacts this issue is having on veterans and families. I had to take a stand on this.

While my stance clearly ruffled a lot of feathers on both sides of politics in the Canberra bubble, the response out in the real world has been overwhelmingly positive. People understand the importance of this issue for veterans, their families and our country. Our veterans have given our country their best, and they deserve the best from the nation’s politicians in return.

The critics have said that I “didn’t understand” the Budget process.

To me, that’s just making excuses for not providing enough support for veterans. Initially I was told I would be getting zero dollars to clear up the claims backlog and then when I complained I was told we

BUDGET DELIVERS $14.8 MILLION FOR CSU MEDICAL SCHOOL! Charles Sturt University will receive $14.8 million to deliver a Rural Clinical School under the Australian Government’s Rural Health and Medical Training program. It’s part of the new CSU Medical School.

The funding was announced as part of the 2022 Australian Government Budget and will support clinical training placements in rural and remote locations as part of the Rural Clinical School Program. This will establish the School of Rural Medicine to meet the workforce demands in rural and remote communities.

and I’m delighted the Government has committed even more funding to grow our region’s health workforce and improve health services in the area.

It means more students can study in medical fields, without having to pack up and move to the city. We want local students, studying locally, and growing our local pool of talented health professionals.

COUNCIL AT WORK take about 20 weeks.

Detailed design and tenders for other elements of the precinct such as the athletics track will follow later this year.

Orange Mayor Cr Jason Hamling is delighted to see more progress on site.

“This stage of work will give residents a clearer idea of the size of the project and what this parklands precinct is going to look like,” Cr Jason Hamling said.

“The line of old elms along the internal road is going to stay as a brilliant backdrop for the new parklands. 784 new trees will be planted on the site. That’s more trees than we have now.

And of the trees that are being removed where possible they will be milled and re-used.”

s NSW Upper House MP Sam Farraway, Orange City Council Sport & Recreation Committee chair, Cr Tammy Greenhalgh, and Orange Mayor Jason Hamling welcome the next stage of works.

Work starts on next stage of sports precinct and parklands The next stage of work has begun on the site of Orange’s new sports precinct and parklands.

Following the decision in February by the Western Regional Planning Panel to give concept planning approval for the project, the NSW Heritage Council gave its permission last week for work to begin.

The project is funded by $25 million from the NSW Government.

The latest stage of work includes removal of the next round of trees and the demolition of a small former golf club building. This part of the project will take about four weeks.

The tender for the earthworks is currently being assessed by the NSW Public Works Advisory and will go to Council for awarding as soon as possible.

The earthworks include topsoil scraped away and stockpiled on-site.

Then, crews will level the three sites of the athletics track, eight sports fields and the main stadium. This element of the project is expected to

Across the site temporary construction fences have been erected around all the established trees that will be kept. The barriers will protect them while other trees are cleared and when earthmoving begins.

When complete the precinct will include eight sports fields, a purpose-built athletics track and a marque field with a grandstand and sloped areas that can house 8000 spectators.

Orange City Council Sport & Recreation Committee chair, Cr Tammy Greenhalgh welcomed the start of work.

“The families of Orange will be very pleased to see progress.

It’s a great vote of confidence in the thought that’s gone into this project, that planning approvals have now been given and stage of work can start,” Cr Greenhalgh said.

NSW Upper House MP Sam Farraway said it was fantastic to visit the site today and check in on the progress of the project.

“This project is a game changer for the sporting communities in Orange. Today is another significant milestone in the progress of this project and the commitment from the NSW Government to deliver this $25 million Sporting Precinct for the people of Orange,” Mr Farraway said.

“The precinct will provide Orange with further tourism opportunities and economic stimulus for the wider Central West by providing a venue that has the ability to attract larger sporting events.”

IN BRIEF w Two very different exhibitions will open at Orange Regional Museum on Saturday 9 April.

The first More than Tea & Scones: 100 Years of the Country Women’s Association of NSW celebrates the 100th anniversary of the CWA in NSW. Museum staff worked with CWA branches across the Central Western Group, from Cumnock to Woodstock and Bathurst to Eugowra, to create the display, which packs in 100 years of history, focusing on our regional branches and the extraordinary service provided by country women for country women, over the decades.

The second exhibition How Cities Work is a travelling exhibition from Sydney Living Museums.

It brings to life the bestselling book of the same name, published

by Lonely Planet Kids, and is developed in collaboration with the book’s illustrator and city fanatic, James Gulliver Hancock.

Youth Week celebration at Orange Showground is All About YOUth As part of NSW Youth Week 2022 celebrations Orange City Council in partnership with local youth services, will celebrate the city’s young people with the free All About YOUth fun day at Orange Showground on Monday 11 April.

A special feature of All About YOUth will be the Walkabout Barber mobile barber shop, which will be offering haircuts and mental health first aid from 8.30am to 3.30pm.

The main festivities will kick off from 10am to 2pm with the much-anticipated Obstacool Course, which is made up of a mix of inflatables including walls, tunnels, commando nets, an inflatable tyre run and the 40-metre long Big Bopper! There will also be inflatable Sumo suits, a velcro wall, gladiator game, dart wall and bungee run.

Other activities will include drumming workshops with Mark Welch and movie makeup with the Orange Youth Hub, as well as a colour fight and bucking bull.

There will be food and coffee stalls such as Bodhi Garden and Walkabout Coffee, Clothing & Culture, live music and information stalls from service providers including Social Futures, headspace and the NDIS. Orange City Council’s Community Services Policy Committee Chair Cr Mel McDonell encouraged all Orange young people to come along and bring their friends and family for a day of fun.

‘Youth Week is wonderful because it’s organised by young people, for young people and is a chance to raise issues that

are important to them,” Cr McDonell said.

“This is a great opportunity for our young people to get out and about, expand their social networks and have a day of fun, while also learning what services are out there to help, should they need them now or in the future.

“It’s great to see so many services and organisations coming together to support our youth.”

NSW Youth Week is held in April each year in communities across the state for young people to share ideas, attend live events, have their voices heard on issues of concern to them, showcase their talents, take part in competitions and celebrate their contribution to the community.

From skyscrapers to underground networks, the illustrated two-metrehigh cityscape reveals the secret workings of our busy urban centres, with activities including a lively hands-on construction site and a futuristic design station.

Both exhibitions will be officially opened by Orange Mayor Jason Hamling on Friday 8 April from 6pm.

Everyone is welcome to the free event and tickets can be booked via Eventbrite.

Fiona’s chocs with a natural twist seeking sweet-toothed investors — DAVID DIXON —

Indigenous chocolate manufacturer, Fiona Harrison discovered the love of her craft through personal trauma.

T

he Millthorpe local is now looking to expand her boutique business through an innovative crowdfunding partnership designed to empower women in the small

business sector.

Her “Chocolate on Purpose” enterprise is looking to purchase a new high-tech chocolate blender through the Lift Women crowdfunding platform However the Wiradjuri woman’s passage to the now, actually started more than a decade ago as part of a personal journey of renewal.

“It came from my experience in post-traumatic stress — an armed hold-up,” Fiona revealed.

“Through my healing journey, I found the power of botanicals when I was looking for a new direction.”

It was then, almost by chance, she hit upon the idea of combining traditional chocolate with Australian native botanicals.

“I bought my friend Jo, a birthday present of a chocolate-making course… the lady who was taking it, mentioned a black pepper and raspberry chocolate, and I remembered that most people like chocolates.

The Rising Costs of Building - How to Minimise the Risks Part Two

In the previous article on this subject, readers were alerted to the problem of the rapidly increasing prices of basic building materials and the effect this is having on fixed price building contracts.

Fixed price contracts, have in the past always included schedule of allowances in the contract price for items such as tiles, bathroom fittings, door furniture, carpets etc, which provides a price range for the owners to make their selections. If the owners select a more expensive item, a variation in the contract price occurs.

(PC allowances). Standard fixed price contracts have also contained terms which allow for provisional sums to be estimated in the contract where an accurate quotation cannot be made. Example – excavation of the site.

The current problem with increasing prices can be resolved to some extent, by a fixed price contract including larger items such as kitchens and windows as PC items , and materials such as steel, and other basic building materials as provisional some items specifying the quantity and unit price on which the contract price has been calculated. In this way, the builders and subcontractors labour can remain a fixed price item, but allow a flexibility in final build price for an increase in material costs.

This will still create a problem for owners not having a clear indication of the final cost of their build and this may require some more flexibility between banks and borrowers as to the finance budget.

OCLife “I looked at Jo and thought ‘my people have been using these (native) foods for centuries,’ and that was the day that ‘Bushfood Chocolate’ was born,” she said.

Lift Women Founder and CEO Irene Tsang added: “women are severely underrepresented in the entrepreneurial world.”

Native fare that she now incorporates into her range includes the Illawarra and Davidson Plum, Quandong, finger lime, the Rosella flower, and the Mountain Pepper berry.

According to Irene, the creation of an online community environment that is specifically geared towards reaching women users is integral to the platform’s success.

“We are particularly focused on women, because we want to create a place where they can relate and with a narrative that they will understand. It is a safe go-to place where there is no judgment, only women supporting women,” she said.

These native Australian foods, she says, not only taste good, but are infused with health-giving benefits, as much spiritual as physical.

“All these edibles have a traditional healing use and were used in bush medicine,” Fiona said.

“The Global Sisters helped me pivot to working at my business full-time… they are always looking for ways to help women on their platform to grow,” Fiona added.

“It’s about deepening the respect for ancient Indigenous wisdom and culture. We infuse our chocolates with ancient wisdom and also a mission,” she added.

She is now seeking crowd-sourcing funding of about $19,000 for a specialist piece of chocolate-making equipment called a “Wheelie tempering machine”.

Her aim now is to expand her decade-old business, now operating out of Dolce Sweets in Treats on Pym Street after previously being in Millthorpe’s Mae Rachelle Gallery. This is where the Global Sisters’ online marketplace comes in.

“It’s a semi-automated piece of machinery for making the chocolate. You can melt the chocolate and change the temperature continuously throughout the process,” Fiona explained.

“I’m crowdfunding for a larger business, but women are very poorly represented in crowdfunding initiatives and the Global Sisters are mentoring women entrepreneurs to increase this number,” Fiona said.

This new partnership between Global Sisters’ online marketplace and Lift Women’s crowdfunding platform seeks to break down the age-old barriers to economic participation which sees women receive just a fifth of all startup capital for new businesses in Australia.

The women who utilise Global Sisters’ marketplace for their businesses and social enterprises are hopefully set

to benefit from access to a previously untapped revenue stream via Lift Women’s crowdfunding platform, starting with Fiona and the 11 other budding businesswomen.

“Myself and the Museum, would also like to be able to plant a native garden as a quiet, contemplative space as part of the Experience.

Global Sisters’ CEO, Mandy Richards explained that: “The partnership with Lift Women is vital, because it means that the women that have their businesses and social enterprises on our marketplace now have access to a supported, gender-lensed mechanism for generating startup and growth capital for their business.”

“The chocolate-tasting and the information shared, will be enhanced by the sensory experience of the garden,” Fiona said.

Vets corner with MULBERRY LANE VET HOSPITAL The leaves are changing already – it feels like Autumn is on the way! But it’s a beautiful time of year to be in glorious, colourful Orange. The nights feel cooler and this can trigger the first signs of a painful condition in our pets.

Arthritis affects many pets - the figures are surprisingly high. Around one in five dogs and one in three cats suffer from this painful condition. Arthritis is caused in pets just as in humans, when damage to a joint causes inflammation and pain. The movement of the joint is restricted and the pain can become constant for your furry friend. Arthritis is made worse by injury, by age or by general wear and tear. But it’s not just a condition that affects elderly animals - some breeds of dog are more prone to arthritis, and any overweight pet is at risk. Pets can’t tell us how they are feeling, so what signs should a caring owner look for?

In cats it is much harder to detect the early signs of arthritis. Cats are very good at hiding pain, so it is important to keep a close eye on their behaviour. A cat in pain may sit in a hunched up position. He or she might spend less time playing and more time asleep than usual. She may become hesitant to jump on or off the furniture, or be reluctant to climb stairs. The good news is that there are many treatments for the pain of arthritis, and your pet can have his or her life transformed. Anti-inflammatories, pain medication and changing your pets diet to one formulated to help with joint health, can all make a big difference, and of course keeping your pet at a healthy weight. Bring your cat, dog or rabbit to Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital for a FREE ATHRITIS CHECK UP this month, and get advice about the best diet and treatment to help!

Our reception area is stocked with everything your pets might need – a full range of quality pet food including special diets for pets with arthritis, dietary supplements for better joint health, treats to help maintain healthy teeth, and flea/worm treatments. Plus friendly advice for you and your pet - we look forward to seeing you soon!

Have you noticed your dog looks sore in the morning? Is he reluctant to walk or play? Has their behaviour changed – perhaps he or she might be snappy when touched. An arthritic dog may limp, show stiffness or have difficulty getting upstairs or into the car. Jumping on to the couch might be hard work. If your dog is showing some or all of these symptoms, then a check up with one of the friendly vets

at Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital is definitely needed.

“There’s also a reward with a behind-the-scenes tour of the Museum, so there is something for everyone,” Fiona concluded.

Phil DONATO MP State Member for Orange

ORANGE VOLCANIC MOUNTAIN CHALLENGE Donato’s Diary TEACHER SHORTAGE I had a great m orning taking part in the Orange Volcanic Moun tain Challenge last Sunday. Th e run is 11kms from Pi nnacle to Mt Canobolas, then finishing at Federal Falls, an d the view is incredible! It ’s great to see people using p ublic lands for enjoyment, fitness and recreation.

Recently in Parliament I brought attention to a number of important issues, including the critical teacher shortage. It was only earlier this year when the Minister for Education went on record denying there was a teacher shortage, and yet here we are.

Having spoken to educators across rural and regional NSW, the reality is that there are many schools which are struggling to fill vacant teaching jobs. Canabolas High School in Orange, as an example, has teacher shortages to the extent that there were 852 merged or uncovered classes as of March 2022.

That’s just one school out of hundreds in Regional NSW which are facing this crisis, which is not fair either for teachers or students.

I made the Education Minister aware of this situation last year, and her reply was that they are “currently reviewing the incentives used to attract and retain teachers to rural and remote parts of New South Wales”.

I am urging the government to start ensuring our regional schools are properly resourced.

REVENUE RAISING

WELCOME NEW RESIDENTS

It’s always great to meet new residents of Orange! When I ask them what brought them here, the reasons they give me always remind me of what I already know; that Orange is a great place to live, work, retire, or raise a family. Here I’m with Jackie and Will Tuck, who have recently moved here.

Cumnock Show I had a great day at the 122nd annual Cumnock Show recently, and it was an honour to join-in with the official opening of the new pavilion. Shows are such a vital part of small communities, and they’re a great way for families to spend quality time together.

PARLIAMENTARY FRIENDS OF BASKETBALL It was great to chat with the Parliamentary Friends of Basketball, who gathered in the garden at Parliament NSW late last month. The impressive Women’s Basketball World Cup trophy was on display to tantalise the players for the event later this year!

Orange Electorate Office |

Last week in Parliament I raised the issue of speed cameras being used purely for revenue-raising. The Nationals have previously promised they will put signs on these covert vehicles, but it’s not consistently happening.

I’d also asking the government to invest in programs for driver education for learner drivers; let’s be proactive about road safety rather than focusing on revenue-raising.

FILMREVIEW

with Aaron Taylor

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Sonic the Hedgehog 2 — as with the first, directed by Jeff Fowler — sees Dr Robotnik return from exile on the Mushroom Planet with the help of the mysterious echidna warrior, Knuckles. Also with the assistance of his new fox friend, Tails, Sonic must become the hero he dreams of being and stop Dr Robotnik from seizing the ultimate power.

O'Shaughnessey, and is so adorable in this movie — I love that little fox so much!

And Knuckles, voiced by Idris Elba, was so awesome!

But Sonic is still the cutest thing in this movie and the best character by a long shot.

Jim Carrey once again delivers as Dr Robotnik, this time rocking one large moustache and a dripping new suit. He, like all of the other characters, is just as fun as in the first movie.

I was very excited about this movie and even stopped using social media to prevent seeing spoilers. Now, having seen it, I can finally say this: This was way better than the first movie!

I highly recommend this film to everyone who loves the Sonic franchise. And, as with the first movie, gamers will enjoy the many little references found throughout the film.

I loved this movie so much, and I'm still reeling!

The sequel sees our little blue hedgehog hero, Sonic, joined by two new characters: Tails and Knuckles. Tails is voiced by Colleen

I'm giving this one a 10/10

Silver screen actor/muso is making Orange move — WORDS BY STEPH ALLEN, PHOTO BY REBECCA HITCH —

A familiar face from the silver screen has settled in Orange – bringing his wealth of musical and songwriting talent to charm the region in upcoming gigs.

Joel Jackson was star of the AACTA Awardwinning miniseries Peter Allen: Not The Boy Next Door, and recently made the move to Orange from Western Australia.

Joel’s titular performance earned him an AACTA Award for Best Lead Actor in a Television Drama.

He received the same accolade after he starred in Deadline Gallipoli as a war correspondent and historian Charles Bean.

Joel, who began his performing career at just eight years old, was encouraged to step onto the stage by his mother after he returned from a year abroad in Brazil as an exchange student.

“Then I made the decision to move to Sydney…I thought ‘let’s jump in and launch into the big scaries’,” he said.

“He and I are similar in nature…we both wanted to perform and were both searching for something outside our grasp,” Joel said.

After graduating the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in 2013, Joel went on to perform in Deadline Gallipoli – a role deservedly awarded to the thorough and studious labourer turned actor who delved deep into his research for the role.

Since 2019, he has co-starred as Detective James Steed in Ms Fisher’s Modern Murder Mysteries on Channel Seven.

“From that detailed pursuit…I kept getting called in for different characters and it led me to get the lead,” he said.

“I kept putting my best foot forward and it’s kept me moving.”

His award-winning performance as Peter Allen was one inspired by the actor and subject’s similar backgrounds in small country towns.

“I didn’t realise it at the time, but my own search for connection and search for film gave my Peter his fuel… the great gift of playing Peter Allen in Peter Allen world is getting to channel his sense of enthusiasm.”

Inspired by a childhood of Karratha to Albany road trips set to a radio background of classic song writers like Billy Joel, Tom Petty and Paul Kelly, Joel has launched himself into a new world of creative expression.

“The next project is “Ticket to the Rocket Ship” – a concept album I’m writing, which will be really exciting,” he said.

“The music side of things is growing.”

During years of Covid-19,Joel said the

entertainment industry was rocked by lockdowns and restrictions.

“It smashed us,” he said.

“I lost two major feature films. I was lucky enough to do Ms Fisher’s season two but we lost a sense of momentum and momentum is everything in a creative career.

“Once it’s lost, it’s almost like starting at the bottom, and because it’s such a creative industry, you work to the bone to get your nose out in front of other people.

“It reminded me of how grateful we should be for all of it.”

Joel is enjoying the bustling activity within Orange, including the thriving food and wine industry, and has been kept busy playing basketball, landscaping and performing.

See Joel Jackson perform Saturday, April 9 at The Exchange Hotel, Blayney; and on Sunday, April 10 – at the Producer’s Brunch, Cook Park, as a part of F.O.O.D Week In May and June, Joel will be performing James Taylors’ ‘Sweet Baby James’ for the Agrestic Grocer’s Ruby Tuesdays.

Viva Bob Vegas!

Comedy icon to dazzle at the Con

Robertson Bros bring back the magic of 1960s TV variety shows Take a trip down memory lane with the Robertson Brothers 1960's Variety TV Show.

Do you ever dream of reliving the good old days of early television in Australia?

Well, don’t miss The Robertson Brothers 1960’s TV Variety Show at Orange Civic Theatre this Saturday, April 9.

The Robertson Brothers grew up in a home that appreciated the old-style variety TV shows like In Melbourne Tonight.

For their brand-new live touring spectacular, they decided then to re-invent the magic and diversity of the old school 1960s variety TV shows.

Joined by special guest Simon Brook McLachlan – from the original cast of the hit musical Jersey Boy – the show is an amazing multimedia presentation, featuring classic hits from The Seekers, Bee Gees, Frankie Valli and The Four Seasons, Neil Sedaka, and The Everly Brothers!

Through the prism of the Variety TV show format, you’ll travel back in time to embrace and celebrate all the hits of these legends of 60s music.

They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but on April 23 much-loved Australian comedic character Bob Downe is bringing a taste of old-style Vegas to the Orange Regional Conservatorium for a night to remember.

Selling out eight consecutive shows on his previous visit to Orange’s home of comedy Factory Espresso, Bob is back with a brand new act, a big band and an even bigger venue.

Bob has been keen to return ever since his run of gigs in October last year, says Factory Espresso owner Nick Gleeson, but his new nightclub spectacular Viva Bob Vegas is just too much show to be contained within the cafe.

regular comedy nights in 2017.

Since then, they have hosted 81 shows, featuring some of Australia’s greatest comedic talents.

“It's crazy, said Nick. “Tripod was our last show and before that was Nick Cody and Luke Heggie, Dilruk Jayasinha and before that was Cal Wilson, Tom Ballard, Lehmo — and that was all just after lockdown!

“Last year he just did his solo show, but this time he is bringing his band with him, guest singers, dancers, the works! Well, Factory doesn't have enough space for all of that production so we talked to our friends at the Orange Regional Conservatorium who agreed to come aboard and let us use their venue,” said Nick.

“To get that calibre of comedian wanting to do this… it’s great.”

The new show from Bob Downe — the popular and enduring comedy character created by journalist, comedian, actor and broadcaster Mark Trevorrow — is an all-singing, all-dancing, retro Las Vegas lounge act with a live band and guest performers.

“They’ve all heard it's a good room and the audience are really attentive which they are… it is a weird gig, but it works.

It’s sure to be a hilarious evening of wild comedy, said Nick.

And for those who caught ‘Prince of Polyester’ on his last visit, rest assured that this will be an all-new experience, he added.

“It’s one show, one performance — so anyone who didn’t come last year this is your one shot.”

This will be the first time Factory Espresso have presented a comedy act outside of their own cafe space since Nick and his wife Ruby first began their

A comedy room in a cafe in country NSW is not your typical gig, but it has been building a reputation amongst comedians as being a great place to perform, said Nick.

“Five years ago, if you said, ‘hey, come to a regional cafe for one night only.’ People like Tony Martin wouldn't have said yes, but he himself said people around him were saying he should do the gig, it's great fun. When Laurence Mooney was here he was SMSing Lehmo saying you're going to have a great time here. Gatelsy from Tripod was telling my brother (comedian and television host Tom Gleeson) that he’d been asked to do Factory, he was excited about it and so that's been the reports.

“It is a fun place to do comedy, it is a weird setting to do it, but that's part of the fun as well.”

See Bob Downe’s Viva Bob Vegas, ONE SHOW ONLY, 6.30pm, Saturday April 23 at the Orange Regional Conservatorium (73A Hill Street).

Orange Botanic Gardens will move to the wonderful Baroque tones of Johann Sebastian Bach on Monday, April 11.

The concert is part of a series by the Sydney Bach Society which is taking classical music on the road for a series of free, family-friendly outdoor concerts throughout the central west.

The “Bach in the Gardens” tour is based on the premise of the Sydney Calyx matinée concerts, which were short, free, familyfriendly events, that invited Sydneysiders to rediscover live performance in their verdant "backyard", the Royal Botanic Gardens.

The Bach in the Gardens tour is about celebrating the union of classical music and the raw beauty of Australia's dramatic rural landscapes.

Bach comes alive at our Botanic Gardens

“We want to reimagine the ways in which our vital green spaces in regional towns throughout NSW can act as gathering places to share the joy of live performance,” said Aristea Mellos, Co-Director of the Sydney Bach Society.

The tour starts at the heritage-listed Blue

Mountains Botanic Garden in Mt Tomah, and then heads to the home of the annual Sculptures in the Garden festival, Rosby Wines, just outside of Mudgee.

On Sunday, April 10, the Society will perform at Cowra’s Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre, with the Colour City concert on April 11 concluding the tour at the Orange Botanic Gardens.

To celebrate the first day of the Easter school holidays, the performance in the Orange Botanic Gardens will be a special kids concert at 11am.

“The event promises to be fun, familyfriendly and entertaining, brimming with classical favourites and including instrumental demonstrations and a Q&A session with the performers,” said Aristea.

All events are free, and are supported through Create NSW. Bach in the Gardens is on at Monday, April 11 at the Clover Hill Function Centre, Orange Botanic Gardens.

On-air and online — Maree keeps local seniors in the know Maree Curtis is bringing senior citizens into the world of podcasting, with her radio show connecting Central West residents with an inside look into the region’s smorgasbord of senior services.

The 88-year-old Bathurst local, who designed, developed, and now runs ‘Senior Citizens’ Updates’, began creating the informative program before the COVID-19 pandemic, officially launching it in August 2021 after completing a Certificate III in Screen Media.

“I found that a lot of people, including myself, don’t always know the services are available to seniors, many of which are free. We also don’t know how to access them,” she said.

Maree Curtis is on a mission to keep seniors up-to-date on services to make their lives easier.

Photo: Lisa McLean.

“I thought, ‘if I had a radio program, which told people what the services are and how to access them’ (with interviews with appropriate people from each service), then we would all learn what’s available, how to access it, and how to get in contact.”

Maree’s program explores services available exclusively to Central West residents, as well as more broadly for NSW residents and Australia-wide. They include ‘community pantries’ across the Central West, a driving service that gets residents ready for upcoming driving tests, and community transport services, which will take residents to anything from local appointments, to surrounding Central West towns, to trips to Sydney for

medical assistance, or an international flight.

Another service she has highlighted is a local chemist where staff will bring a prescription to the car at a designated parking spot after receiving an e-script.

“I believe learning is forever, and that’s why I undertook the studies in media,” Maree said.

“I learnt interviewing skills so I could do this program.”

Seniors Citizens’ Updates airs every Friday at 10.45am on 2MCE Orange 94.7 FM and Bathurst 92.3 FM. The program is available for streaming and download across Australia on 2mce.org. It will also be made available through Orange City Council and Bathurst City Council websites.

I have been collecting and writing about people's memories of the past for over forty years and am a firm believer in the idea that “ behind every face is a story.”

We were talking about ploughing and growing crops when two of our group began to speak of the intricacies of haystack making, a dying art, but equal in the paddock to any handcra produced in the home.

In their descriptive telling, they became so enthusiastic that they jumped up the be er to demonstrate the exact method of perfecting a stack.

No ma er how o en someone protests that their life has been unbelievably dull, I have always found that, with some careful probing, an interesting story will emerge.

I have lived in this beautiful city only since 2008, but my childhood was filled with memories of Orange. Not because my home was here, nor that I even visited, but because of the stories my father and his siblings would tell around the dining room table to the wide-eyed fascination of their youthful audience.

They were all born and grew up here in the early part of the 20th Century.

These were the days before sewerage, electric light and air-conditioning, and their tales of catching the horse to harness to the sulky or spring cart to take the family on an excursion were enthralling.

The story of the unfortunate horse struggling to drag the family of seven in a spring cart up the slopes of Mt Canobolas brought gasps of horror from the listeners until we heard later that the children had all climbed out and taken the horse’s place in the sha s.

I suspect that these stories had gained some dramatic detail over the years!

I also think it was likely that those reminiscences encouraged my interest in oral history, and it has led me to the conclusion that: “to find out what happened in the past is to study history, but to know

how people felt about those events adds colour, vibrancy and understanding.”

Over the years I have lived in various towns in the central and far west of NSW, and it was in those towns that I began to talk to people who had actually “been there”. They were the descendants of the first pioneers and their tales of hardship and survival were fascinating.

I found that talking to people in groups was even more successful in encouraging memories.

With much use of hands and feet, the whole thing almost became a ballet and I found myself wishing I had a camera with me to record the spectacle.

Others told me amazing stories of hardship and courage which came out of the Great Depression;of bushfires and floods; and of the drover whose story, inspired by Banjo Pa erson, could have come from the writings of the great man himself.

Then we had talks about changing a itudes: to women, parenting, education and finding our own identity as Australians.

Memories of the days before water was connected to the town and of “wet weather gardens” which were kept alive only in good seasons with the help of washing and bathwater.

Of course, oral history can be coloured by emotion or affected by memory and perceptions which may be open to debate, and every effort should be made to validate historical events mentioned in discussions.

They remembered “swept gardens” where, instead of lawns, the dirt was swept clean away until it became as hard as a rock and as “bare as a tabletop.”

At the same time, the warmth and vitality that peoples memories can add to dry historical facts has enormous value.

One of the most interesting of the group talks I’ve had was with some men who had worked the land all their lives, mostly carrying on in their father’s — and quite o en their grandfather’s — footsteps.

The Orange Oral History group has been in recess during the Covid outbreak, but we hope soon to continue with our valuable work.

Almost instinctively they knew how to respond to the needs of their land, to climatic conditions and how to make the best of what Nature delivered.

It is essential that these memories are given the importance they deserve.

OCLife The Good Enough Par ent

The last week of term

The last week of term is always an absolute disaster, but this year things have been kicked into overdrive.

Somehow, we’ve ended up with ANZAC activities, an athletics carnival, cross country, an Easter hat parade, end-ofterm award ceremony, final assembly, and an Easter lunch — all over the course of five exhausting days. Thank goodness we said goodbye to Daylight Savings on Sunday, so at least we’re not getting up in darkness at 7am (that is, the middle of the night).

Monday: Today is Miss Seven’s athletics carnival that was rescheduled. I have a work meeting in Bathurst, but I’m confident I can make it back in time to make an appearance. No canteen today, but yesterday I smugly bought bread, yoghurt, and fruit. A little too smugly, I discover, because somehow we’re already out of bananas. I decide no-one else will have fruit in the last week and it’s okay. As we head towards the door, Miss Seven announces she needs to wear her house colours. “What house are you in?” I ask, panicked. “I dunno” replies the child who hasn’t attended a single sporting day in her first two years of school due to COVID. We choose blue and cross our fingers.

Tuesday: I look forward to a quiet day where the only event is Miss Seven’s ANZAC ceremony. It’s held in the local park but, despite being close enough to walk there, I’m busy and don’t go.

I’d love to attend all school events, but sometimes work needs to be my priority. Instead, we agree to attend the ANZAC march in town as a family. I’m even organised enough to pop dinner in the slow cooker. Unfortunately, I’m not organised enough to actually turn it on.

We eat toast for dinner, which is fine for the last week.

Wednesday: Cross country. Miss Seven

gets a bit upset about this because she’s not sure she’s a good enough swimmer to attend. After a few probing questions, we explain the difference between cross country and triathlon and remind her she’s an amazing runner. She has to wear house colours again (it was blue, but I forgot to wash yesterday, so it’s filthy and of course, she only owns one). I hope the amazing teachers snap some photos so I can see them later, but that they’re slightly out of focus so she doesn’t look homeless. She needs to take lunch again, so I pack a jam sandwich, a yoghurt, a muesli bar and a roll up — then quickly message her teacher asking her not to call FACS about the contents of her lunch box.

Thursday: Today. Easter bonnet parade, hot dog lunch, assembly and awards. But today is also the day of a very strategically booked car service. It means hubby is working from home and can happily attend all events. He gets to relish the role of “involved parent” and I get to enjoy a productive child-free day of work. With today sure to go smoothly, I assume we can cruise through tomorrow and into the holidays stress free…

Unfortunately, no.

Miss 13 announces that not only is Friday her athletics carnival, but there’s no buses and she needs to be dropped off and picked up. I demand to see the note and she produces one from weeks’ ago that I apparently signed (without reading) agreeing to be her personal chauffeur for the day. She also needs to wear red (her house colour apparently) but obviously she owns nothing red.

w i n o t e Wet a lin Burrendong Classic Fishing Comp at the

this Easter

Local fishing conservation group OzFish Wellington Chapter, is gearing up to host the highly anticipated Shimano Burrendong Easter Classic, with the competition running from the 15th to the 17th of April.

The Burrendong Classic is held annually and is one of the biggest and best catchand-release fishing competitions in the region, with both adult and junior categories and a $50,000 prize pool up for grabs.

This 3-day event is held in beautiful Lake Burrendong and it’s for a great cause as all funds raised will go towards fish habitat restoration.

OzFish are calling on

all recreational fishers to get involved, with over $50,000 worth of prizes to give away, including a boat package as the major prize thanks to Shimano Australia and BCF – Boating, Camping, Fishing.

The Burrendong Classic was first started in 2010 by the Inland Waterways Rejuvenation Association.

After 9 years of running the Classic and building it up to a 3000-person-strong event, the Inland Waterways OzFish Chapter has handed the event coordination to the newly formed OzFish Wellington Chapter to take the reins.

John Ahsee, Secretary of the OzFish Wellington Chapter, is looking forward to taking on the Burrendong Classic after it has been paused recently due to the drought and pandemic.

“The community is working extremely hard to make the Burrendong Classic the most profession-

al and prestigious event, and live up to what it was in the past.

“We have attended the Classic in previous years which has had thousands of recreational anglers entering the competition, with people turning up in droves to camp along the shores of Lake Burrendong,” said John.

“There has been a lot of negative news of late, so we’re hoping the Classic can be something for the community to look forward to as they’ve waited a while for it to relaunch,” said John.

People can register for the event on the OzFish website at: ozfish.org.au/burrendong-fishing-classic/ All profits from the event will be reinvested back into the local waterways through restoration initiatives for the Wambuul-Macquarie and Bell rivers.

THE EASTER HUNT It’s that time of the year again, almost as good as Christmas.

About a dozen years ago, my brotherin-law (the rowdy one), put us onto one of his ‘go-to’ meals at Easter. He buys a fresh, whole snapper from the fish markets; works his magic on both the outside and inside of the fish with spices, chilli, oils, and other secrets; then basically drops it onto the sizzling chargrill bit of the barbie. It gets left there until the millisecond that the eye ‘pops’ — an exact measure, he tells me.

Then it gets taken off the grill and is doused in boiling peanut oil, and a little dash of cool sesame oil. Far out – it is heaven. The flesh literally falls off the bones and is of the most amazing taste sensations imaginable.

Served with salad, potatoes, and a lovely glass of red, it is the best way to honour Good Friday. For sure and certain, this will be happening again for us in 2022.

Christmas (in our family it is ‘Christma’, but that’s another story) always brings with it special traditions, unique rites of passage, and stuff peculiar to us that other people think is just plain weird, and Easter is just a mini-version of our December fun-times. Pretty much since our kids could walk, we’ve done Easter Egg hunts. They started off with the eggs just being in a kind-of line across the carpet (and then the grass), and then things grew exponentially from there. We created a monster where each child expected something more grandiose than the previous year. The ‘pot of gold’ at the end of the rainbow was always a big egg – something in a box, something with a gooey centre, or something with a toy in it. Our fault (my wife would say ‘your fault, Paul!’), we started it.

Back at the time when children were skirting double figures (too

46 ORANGE CITY LIFE

|

old to ‘believe’, but too scared to say anything, in case the eggs stopped), the child of a visiting family cried for hours, and then, despite having pretty much unlimited chocolate and junk food on offer, determinedly held on to his bad mood all day, all because the type of egg he’d asked for didn’t appear at the end of his treasure hunt*.

Cut to 2021. Our youngest (then 19), drove home from uni in Canberra for the Easter weekend.

He didn’t know it before he arrived, but selflessly deciding to visit his folks at Easter was just waving a red flag at the bulls – he would be privy to the Treasure Hunt to beat all treasure hunts.

The one he’d taken part in back when he was in Year 12 (we still lived at Millthorpe then), saw him get up his 10,000 steps before lunch, as we teased him with clues in envelopes that covered the length and breadth of our seven acres. He happily followed the clues, googling when necessary to progress in the hunt, and collected his stash in the bucket.

Took him almost an hour. I think I had more fun watching him than he did collecting. 2021 was going to see him earn his chocolate treats again. Whilst he only had to traipse over the quarter-acre block, the clues were ridiculously more obscure, with a final clue that read “check where the Inuit has no facial hair”. Took him quite a while… but an Eskimo, with no ‘mo’ means “look in the esky”.

He found his big egg, probably cursing me under his breath. He’s home again this time … I guess at age 20 I could just give him an Egg and say ‘Happy Easter, bud’, but where’s the fun in that? *like all good chocolate eaters, he wanted Turkish Delight.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

Daylight Savings I love this time of year. Autumn is my favourite season. I love the change in the air as it becomes cool. I love the warm sun.

I love getting the firepit going again. I love celebrating Easter with my church. I love the change in the trees as the leaves turn to vibrant shades of yellow, red, and orange. But there is one thing I hate about this time of year: Daylight Savings. I have never understood why we do it. Why torture ourselves with a feeling of jetlag without the benefits of overseas travel? For those reading with small children, you know the frustration of kids waking up a solid hour earlier than normal.

Then there is the fatigue of waiting for your body clock to adjust. Or the mild levels of anxiety wondering whether you will now be an hour late or early to whatever it is on Sunday morning because you don’t trust the phone’s clock to change automatically, even though it did just that six months ago. I just don’t get it. I long for the day when we decide to just leave our clocks alone. To let us enjoy the short days of winter and the long days of summer as they were designed to be. It does raise an interesting thought though. How were the days and seasons determined? There are many ways we can approach the question.

But I want to answer the question with a verse

from the Bible.

Psalm 104:19 says this about God: He made the moon to mark the seasons; the sun knows its time for setting.

God has wired the fabric of the universe, in fact, he has so finely tuned it, that the seasons come and go as they are meant to. In fact, God has made it so that the earth revolves around the sun in the exact way so that the sun will rise and set here in the exact way it was meant to. How does it do this? This is because God sustains the universe and everything in it. For me, that gives me assurance that the earth is not going to spin wildly out of orbit at any moment. It gives me peace at night because I know the sun will rise again. So what does this have to do with daylight savings?

I think God knows what is going on and that he will continue to make the sun rise and set just as it is meant to. So maybe rather than trying to adjust our clocks to suit our own preferences about a day’s length and how many hours of sunlight we may or may not want during winter and or summer, why not leave them well alone and let the good and gracious sustainer of the universe continue to cause the sun to rise and set in his timing. And while we do that, perhaps we can pause and reflect on who this God is, that he would be so wonderful in giving us the warmth of the sun at all.

defenders. Applying pressure in the first 20 minutes, the Sky Blues opened the scoring thanks to an exquisite freekick from Craig Sugden.

Heartbreak for Waratahs in Australia Cup penalty shoot-out

Seven minutes later, Waratahs doubled their lead through Lachie Peet.

The former Barnies attacker scored a stunning solo goal after dribbling past most of the opposition backline.

Waratahs FC are out of the Australia Cup after losing on penalties to Central Coast United in last Wednesday’s Round Three clash at Waratahs Sports Ground.

The Sky Blues started the contest with great vigour in possession. Craig Sugden gave the home side the lead after 33 minutes following a cheap turnover and some sloppy defending in Central Coast United's box.

But a lapse in concentration in the Waratahs backline led to Central Coast United scoring an equaliser just seven minutes after the opener. Tension couldn’t have been any higher, with the score locked at 1-1 going into the break.

The ‘Tahs stepped up intensity in the second half, playing an attacking style of football, which tired out the opposition's midfielders and defenders.

In the 60th minute, the Western Premier League side took the lead after Nathan Gibb scored a sublime free-kick just outside the opposition's 18-yard box.

But in the 75th minute, the Central Coast side netted a second equaliser off another poor goal-line clearance and a scattered Waratahs backline.

With 15 minutes remaining, it appeared that extra-time would be necessary to separate the teams.

With both sides displaying a pragmatic, conservative approach in extra-time, it would take a penalty shootout to decide the game.

Unfortunately, Waratahs lost the shootout 3-1 after missing three penalties, including captain-coach Adam Scimone's sky-high attempt.

It’s a tough pill for the ‘Tahs to swallow, but the players can undoubtedly walk away with some pride after the club’s gallant performance in their maiden Australia Cup participation.

Waratahs thump Barnies in Orange derby Waratahs FC has made an excellent start to the 2022 BurMac Western Premier League after decimating Barnstoneworth United 5-0 at the Waratahs Sports Complex on Sunday.

Just as things couldn’t have gotten worse for the red-and-whites, the referee blew his whistle to award Waratahs a penalty just before the break after Duncan Logan fouled an opposition forward inside the box.

Nathan Gibb calmly slotted the penalty into the bottom-right corner, giving the Tahs a comfortable 3-0 lead going into halftime.

Three minutes into the second half, Waratahs inflicted further pain on their rivals with a second goal from Lachie Peet off a goal-keeping error.

Peet completed his hat-trick in the 81st minute after scoring a poacher’s header off a well-executed cross.

Waratahs’ convincing 5-0 victory makes them one of the competition favourites, while Barnies will need to regroup before making the trip to Mudgee this weekend.

Orange Football News ODFA ramp-up their game The Orange District Football Association recently installed an LED electronic scoreboard near Bernie Stedman Field, Jack Brabham’s major football pitch. With the project costing $80,000, it’s one step further in the ODFA’s mission to create a professional facility in the region.

The new scoreboard will be in action later this month as work on the Bernie Stedman Field continues.

Men's Division 4 Last Thursday (March 31), Blue Fakers squared-off with Nuthingbuttnet in a thrilling preliminary final.

Third-placed Nuthingbuttnet quickly took an 8-1 lead in the early stages, but Blue Fakers were able to counter with some of their own offensive strength shortly after. The lead went back and forward throughout the contest.

Blue Fakers put up a decent fight and kept the scoreboard close, but crucial baskets from Trent French and Kurt Beahan helped steer Nuthingbuttnet to a 40-35 victory. The upset over second-placed Blue Fakers now sees Nuthingbuttnet book their spot in this week’s grand final against the dominant Fil Aus Ballers.

Boys High School Division 2 After intense action in the semifinals the previous week, Thursday’s preliminary final between “Hawks” and “Fire Hawks” quickly turned into a onesided contest.

The contest got off to a fast start, the Hawks immediately asserting their authority in the offence. The Fire Hawks struggled defensively and their attack lacked any real threat.

The Hawks put together a 31-14 run with a quarter to go. Then, thanks to Zeik Selwood’s 16 points, the Hawks cruised to a 52-24 win over their rivals, setting up a meeting with OAGS Orange in the grand final.

Orange CYMS fall to Bathurst ‘75 in Western Premier League opener — BY ANTHONY BARBAGALLO —

It wasn’t exactly the fairytale start to the new Western Premier League era for Orange CYMS after a disappointing 5-1 loss to Bathurst ‘75 at Jack Brabham Park on Saturday.

Despite their absence from the Central West’s premier football competition for some time, Bathurst ‘75 are back on the big stage and ready to wreak havoc among the competition heavyweights. The former six-time champions certainly proved this in their emphatic victory against new boys Orange CYMS in the opening round of the 2022 BurMac Western Premier League.

CYMS showed good composure in the opening minutes, but this quickly faded when the ‘75s took the lead in the 16th minute after striker Agieg Aluk ran around the CYMS keeper and scored a tap in. The Bathurst side added a second goal shortly after, following a cheap turnover by the hosts.

Bathurst ‘75 dominated the flanks and the middle of the pitch, their playmakers threading intricate through-balls to the forwards, which left some of the inexperienced CYMS players confused and seemingly unable to cope with the intense pace of the game.

In the 36th minute, a delivery from the midfield found Agieg Aluk in the clear. Aluk slotted the ball between the legs of CYMS goalkeeper Joseph Kay making it 3-0 for the ‘75s. The Bathurst ‘75 striker celebrated with the famous “Kylian Mbappe” goal celebration, adding salt to the wounds of the green-and-gold players and fans.

Trailing 3-0, CYMS were desperate for inspiration going into the second half. Tightening things at the back and launching more direct counterattacks, the young CYMS side finally established some momentum in the contest.

But in the 70th minute, CYMS conceded a cheap fourth

goal, off a Bathurst free-kick. An accurate delivery into the box and some poor defending by the home side presented the opposition striker with another simple tap-in.

CYMS finally cracked Bathurst 75’s defence in the 85th minute, thanks to David Cahill getting on the end of a one-on-one situation and calmly placing his shot into the bottom of the net to make it 4-1.

But despite the consolation, Bathurst bagged a fifth goal two minutes before the end.

Even though this 5-1 loss against Bathurst ‘75 is a painful defeat for the CYMS outfit, there is still plenty of positive and learning experiences to take from this game, according to CYMS goalkeeper, Joseph Kay, “We came into the WPL to test ourselves against the region's best, and we did that today,” he said.

“Bathurst ‘75 is a high-quality side with many former Western FC players in their line-up. We had patches of good play, but a quality side like 75s will punish your mistakes; we simply made too many of them throughout the 90. We definitely learnt a lot from the experience and will take that into our next match-up against Parkes.”

Aajd after spending many years in the local A Grade competition, he said it's a great feeling to finally play in the Western Premier League “Yeah, it has been a long time coming. It’s been great to keep a core group and develop it all the way from juniors into A grade and now into the WPL,” he concluded.

BARRACKER THE

Why country visits are often resisted by top sports teams The recent success of the pre-season trial games by the Sydney GIANTS netball team in the Colour City and the full-house sign at the NRL premiers Penrith’s match at Bathurst, makes one wonder why more elite sporting teams don’t go bush, more often.

With the proposed new rectangular sports stadium at Bloomfield partly justified by hoped-for future visits by major football teams, taking topline sport to the country would seem a win all-round for codes fighting for juniors, media profile, corporate dollars, television ratings, and lifetime fans.

While familiarity doesn’t necessarily breed contempt, there’s no doubt that the excitement created for a town like Orange, Bathurst, or Dubbo from a visit by an elite sporting club is far greater than a run-of-the-mill home game in a capital city.

Country towns love visits by elite sports teams. It raises their profile in the wider community; typically brings hundreds of thousands of dollars via visitor hotel bookings, hospitality, and tourism promotion, to the host city; and provides locals with a sporting spectacle they would otherwise have to travel hours to experience.

Also, having a match played at a packed bush stadium with an 11,000plus crowd (as at the Bathurst game), almost within touching distance of the athletes is a totally different experience for players, fans, and the television audience, than a few thousand diehard regulars scattered around one of Sydney’s cavernous concrete stadiums.

Recently, NRL teams were asked to play in regional centres in Queensland to avoid breaching strict COVID-19 guidelines on crowd numbers. The result was a series of almost carnivallike games played to packed houses in towns like Redcliffe, the Sunshine Coast, and Ipswich, with crowd shots showing fans having a fantastic time.

With a cost-benefit to cities like Bathurst running into the hundreds of thousands, the question is then, why don’t more sporting sides do it on a regular basis? Not just rugby league, but AFL, football (soccer), and rugby union.

The answer may be, that the clubs who

run these top-line high-profile teams, often (privately) oppose it. They do this for reasons that may seem short-sighted, but which make a whole lot of sense to their respective boards.

When the National Rugby League proposed a commitment for all teams to play at least one home game a year in country NSW or Queensland in 2021, there was seemingly muted hostility from the Clubs.

In the end, six teams were scheduled country games — Cronulla at Coffs Harbour, Manly at Mudgee, the Panthers game at Bathurst, Canberra at Wagga Wagga, and West Tigers at Tamworth.

The truth is, that country town visits are expensive for professional teams, even with subsidies usually provided by the league or the city itself.

Players, coaches and support staff must be provided all their food and accommodation, which they mostly pay themselves in a home game.

The crowd, while raucous and appreciative, is usually lower than even a half-full house in the city, and season ticket-holders for the clubs, one of their main sources of income, must be compensated.

Many clubs also have cost-subsidy arrangements with larger stadiums where they take all the gate — one of the reasons many still play at the old Olympic stadium in Homebush — despite its unsuitability for a rectangular field game.

It’s not just that. Elite athletes are a bit like racehorses, they tend to be highly strung creatures of habit, and changing their routine can upset their equilibrium. Clubs don’t like to “spook” their star players.

South Sydney last year took a match to Dubbo’s Apex Oval and, in front of a 10,000-plus crowd, were flogged 5612 by the Penrith Panthers, who later nudged them by only two points in the season-decider less than four months later.

St Pat’s Old Boys claim BOIDC first-grade title — BY ANTHONY BARBAGALLO — St Pat’s Old Boys are the 2021-22 Bathurst Orange Inter-District Cricket champions, after defeating the competition-leading Cavaliers by 23 runs in last Saturday’s grand final clash at Wade Park.

Despite Harry Pearce keeping the Cavs alive by taking 3/43, it didn’t stop the visitors from setting a daunting 224-run target at the end of their 50 overs.

Going into the big dance as minor premiers and with the home advantage, the Cavaliers’ supporters were hopeful that the maroonand-grey would go on to claim their first BOIDC first-grade title since 2007. But standing in the Orange club’s way was a confident and in-form St Pat’s, who had beaten the Cavs in their last two meetings.

The Cavs’ openers — John Warrington and Nick Crowley — were dismissed in the first 19 minutes of the innings. Matt Corben then settled play and delivered an exceptional batting performance, notching up 51 runs.

Winning the toss, St Pat’s elected to bat first, which proved to be a vital advantage; the Cavaliers conquered many teams in this season’s competition by winning the toss and asserting their batting dominance early on. After an average start with the bat, the Saints eventually found great form with Connor Slattery’s 40 runs before Bailey Brien (72 off 63) put in a top-scoring performance by hitting five fours and a six.

Wesley Lummis’ 53, which included three sixes, took the Cavaliers’ total to 130, with Hugh Middleton’s 43 runs off 44 balls edging them close to the 224-run target.

However, some impressive bowling from Angus Parsons (3/33) stalled the Cavs’ batting momentum and, despite a brave performance, the maroon-and-grey were all out 23 runs short of their target.

St Pat’s Old Boys 8/224 defeated Cavaliers 10/201

ORANGE PROSTATE OUP CANCER SUPPORT GR At our March meeting, it was decided to donate $10,000 dollars to the Clinical Trials Unit at the Cancer Care Unit at Orange Hospital. Donors have donated this money over a number of years to our group to support projects in Orange. The meeting felt that the work carried out at the trials unit, benefitted not only cancer sufferers, but the whole community in many ways.

The Monday evening Orange Bridge Club beginner group with teachers Chris Kershaw (far left) and Dorothy Woodside (standing fourth from right).

Good news in the recent budget. The Federal Government has agreed to fund Australia’s Clinical Practice Guidelines on PSA Testing.

The current guidelines were published in 2016 and are poorly understood by most Australians and need updating to meet with the latest figures.

Australia has one of the highest rates of prostate cancer in the world, with one in every six men likely to be diagnosed by the age of 85.

Over 18,000 men will be diagnosed this year and 3323 will die; this can be avoided if the disease is diagnosed early.

Orange Bridge Club is currently running a series of lessons for beginners who are enjoying their first venture into this stimulating and challenging game.

The classes are run on Monday and Wednesday evenings, with Wednesday players almost completing their first course.

Following the lessons, the students are able to participate in ‘Supervised Play’, where play and options are discussed with the teachers prior to them joining the main sessions.

Anyone interested in learning more about the Bridge club can contact Dorothy Woodside on 6362 8218, or Christine Kershaw on 0458 623 029.

Current figures indicate that, in the next 15 years, the number of Australian men who die with prostate cancer, will equal the number of seats at the Sydney Cricket Ground — staggering figures.

So, men please attend your local GP and arrange for a simple blood test that may save your life, and save heartache for your loved ones.

Our next meeting is on Tuesday, April 19 at Cafe Connect, 107 Prince Street, at 6pm.

We have as our guest speaker, Steve Millard, manager of the Clinical Trials Unit who will speak on new and exciting programs coming up at the unit.

So come along to the meeting. We are open to everyone. Whether you wish to learn about what’s happening in cancer research, currently have prostate cancer, or are a survivor — come along and have a chat with fellow survivors.

Ascott residents play “Guess Who?” for a good cause Ascott Gardens residents have had a bit of fun lately, all the while giving back to a good cause.

The ‘Lavender’ residents recently took part in a baby photo guessing competition to raise money for the Royal Blind Society.

Seven residents and three staff members dug deep into their photo albums, with the residents challenged to guess just whose baby photos were put on display.

“It was great fun for all residents and staff at Ascott,” said recreational activity officer, Kimberley Bell.

“Much laughter, smiles, and puzzled looks as they all tried to match the baby photos to the faces of those around them.”

Some took the competition seriously, even going so far as to closely compare recent photos on the selection board to the baby photos.

Prizes were given out for the ‘most correct guesser’, with Lavender Residents successfully raising $65, which was donated to the Royal Blind Society on April 1. Great effort Lavender Residents!

ALEX MCFADYEN

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

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

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

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

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

WITH LYDIA SMITH

10 2 — 8 APRIL, 2020

A remote or personal relationship Years ago, I saw a stunning marble statue of Jesus in an art museum. Jesus was depicted as utterly serene, but somehow remote and impersonal. It was a beautiful work of art but, looking at this marble Jesus, he didn’t seem able or willing to be interested in me and my petty sufferings at all. He looked as though he had far more important, far more “spiritual” things on his mind.

The Bible paints a very different picture of Jesus. He is not remote, he is present. He is not impersonal, he is connected. Part of the joy of reading the accounts of Jesus’ life, is recognising that he was intimately involved with people. He shared their pains, comforted them, and walked where they walked. So we don’t have a God who is far away and doesn’t know our pain, but a God who has experienced all that we have and can connect with us at a very deep level.

In a world where refugees are desperate, relationships are broken, and people are suffering, I’m thankful that we don’t have a marble Jesus, but a Lord who knows us and our trials through and through. And loves us utterly.

Thumbs up to Chloe at

Orange Officeworks. She was just so helpful and courteous towards us while she was developing some old photos from yesteryear in helping us bring them back to their original quality.

Thumbs up to the staff

at Harris Farm Markets for “pushstarting” my car last Monday. They turned my day around!

Thumbs upto Orange City

Council for rejuvenating Esso Park with the planting of lots of mature trees, relocating tables under shaded areas, and putting in more play equipment for children. The park now looks fabulous!

Thumbs Down to the

"low-lives" who stole our caravan cover overnight. Would you also like to come and get the bag? As it’s useless without the cover!

Thumbs up to the

gentleman in the NSW Water utility vehicle who, after sadly losing his take-away coffee on the ground, went back to pick up the cup and lid.

Thumbs up to the lovely

young man who helped me change my tyre at Mullion Creek. While he may have been a monster in size, his calm and friendly attitude was anything but. If I was a younger lass, I’d love to have a man like him.

Thumbs up and many

thanks to the always helpful staff at Officeworks; most recently, those in the printing and laminating section.

Also, the helpful young man who helped me select a printer (my first one), and then carried it to my car.

Always a pleasure to visit. The staff know their products. Well done!

Thumbs Down to a

local bistro. A most disappointing birthday evening with poor communication, missing meals, no acknowledgement of mistakes, unprofessional staff and, on what was a freezing night, great reluctance to even turn on the heaters! I definitely will not be recommending your establishment, and no one from our large table of family members will be returning again.

Thumbs Down to

Orange City Council for putting a pedestrian crossing across from the Information Centre. I can’t begin to tell you how unsafe it is when turning out of McNamara Street. If someone gets hit, don’t blame the driver.

Thumbs up to the Blayney

Show Society. A fabulous country show which was well organised and definitely worth attending. Well done!

Thumbs up to Carol,

and also to your husband. At North Orange ATM on Wednesday, March 23, you were so wonderful helping me. I can't thank you enough for caring.

Thumbs up to Orange Service Centre staff, who are always most helpful and pleasant.

Thumbs up to the

organisers of the Sampson Street long lunch. It's a wonderful event that showcases Orange's culinary talents and produce and, in particular, this iconic section of Sampson street in its full autumnal resplendence. However, it's worth considering a small token of gratitude (If you haven't already) to the residents of that street. Possibly a gift voucher to one of Orange's many vineyards, restaurants, or cafes, or simply a bottle of local wine? The residents pay rent and rates and graciously wear the inconvenience associated with an annual event of this scale.

Thumbs up to the postie couple who deliver the post to the Ploughmans Estate area. The postman was very understanding when requested not to ride on our new lawn for a short period of time.

He even took the trouble to put the mail at our front door. His lovely wife is responsible for delivering the small parcel post, and she does it with such a friendly and lovely smile, each and every time. It’s truly a pleasure to meet with you on these occasions. Australia Post, please take good care of your valued staff!
