Well, we’ve passed the Winter Solstice and thankfully the daylight hour will be getting longer once more. I stopped by the Gosling Creek Reserve on Tuesday, where a handful of locals were continuing their annual Winter Solstice tradition of taking a winter swim.

With a deadline approaching, I opted to stay dry (and warm) on the bank of the dam, but I was assured by those who took part that it was an invigorating experience.

Centenarian Len's life of good fortune It’s hard to know where to start when interviewing someone whose memories span more than a century. At 106, Len Guy is in remarkably good health, with a sharp recollection of events and a seemingly endless wealth of stories.

— JONATHAN ROE — “This might be an interesting story,” says Len, leaning in a little and pausing a moment before launching into his tale.

“My Dad and I, we went down to Sydney and my mother said when you're down there make some inquiries about a motor car.”

Len later says this would have been in the late 1930s. After checking into their hotel, Len says his Dad asked where they might buy a second-hand car.

“The chap at the counter said you go up Parramatta Road so we did and we walked into this car dealership and it's funny how you remember certain things, but I can remember the second-hand car salesman's name was Mr Wolf!

“And of course, those people have a bit of a reputation of being a bit dodgy, but anyway he was a good man.

“We asked him about the car and before we knew it Dad had bought the car!”

But now, the proud owners of their very first motor vehicle realised someone had to drive it home “I didn't have a licence. I'd never driven a car before and Dad hadn't..

Well Mr Wolf didn't seem to think that was a problem and he took me out to Centennial Park and he gave me threequarter of an hour's tuition in the driving of a car and I drove it home!

“All the way from Sydney to Binnaway! I don't know how, when I look at the road these days, I don't know how!”

Len’s father had migrated to Australia from China. Initially drawn to the allure of the Victorian goldfields of Victoria, he battled around country NSW, working

odd jobs until he decided to settle in the small railway town of Binnaway in 1917.

Len had been born the previous year in Bendigo, but says violent altercations on the goldfields, often racially motivated, prompted his father to leave.

“My father was very averse to violence and there was a lot of trouble on the goldfields… One day he picked up the paper and read that the NSW Government intended to extend the railway from Mudgee to Binnaway and beyond to open up that northwestern sector of the State and he thought well this looks like the place to start a business,” recalls Len The general store he opened was to remain in the Guy family for over 70 years. Len and his brother, Stan, took over the business from their father and it eventually was run by Len’s grandson.

“It was a general business,” says Len. “In those days, before the chains, the stores in the country, they stocked practically everything.

“And Binnaway was a very progressive railway town in those days, but its decline started when they replaced the steam engine with the diesel electric locomotive. Binnaway was originally planned to be a coaling and watering station for the steam locomotives and when the new diesel electric came they didn't need that.”

While Len says anti-foreigner sentiments were prevalent in Australia at the time, by and large, the people of Binnaway embraced their family.

“To their credit, the people of Binnaway came around to being very friendly. We

JUNE 23 — 29, 2022

had some very good friends who didn't regard us… as far as culture or beliefs or religion was concerned, they were very tolerant.

Asking Len if there is anything he misses from his youth in Binnaway and he says only that community life seemed closer then.

“I always think that my parents were very tolerant.. my father was a Buddhist and my mother was a devout Anglican and yet they ironed out all their cultural and religious differences,” recalls Len.

“What I miss mainly is the contact between people, the social life, people were closer together then – well naturally your family were with you — but you had a lot more friends and they were closer…

“At Christmas time, we celebrated Christmas and we celebrated Chinese New Year and we got along quite well that way.”

“The weekend dance was, well it was a must in those days, you used to get together and that was a way of maintaining an atmosphere of social togetherness,” he says.

At 11 years old, Len was to undergo a bit of a culture shock for a boy from Binnaway, being sent by his father to Hong Kong for schooling.

“I spent five years in Hong Kong and I don't know whether they tossed a coin or what it was but my brother went to All Saints College in Bathurst, so they had a bit each way you could say,” says Len. In the 1940s, when Australia went to war against Germany and Japan, Len, like so many other young Australian went to enlist, but it was during the medical exam that first discovered he was short-sighted.

“But it might have been a salvation for me,” says Len, whose friend Bobby did get accepted into the service, but, sadly, never returned.

“When I got knocked back for military service, I took on a job in the industry..

We were making front axles for Bren gun carriers — that was our main armoured vehicle in those days — and we were making roller bearings for the six-inch naval guns and, oh, we did a lot of things.”

But as for tips on how to live to a ripe old age, Len doesn’t have any secrets to share.

“I have got no panacea for longevity, Jono. If I did I wouldn't be talking to you, I would have written a book and I'd be relaxing in the South of France!

“I look back and think of the times I could have been seriously injured or been killed… I went down to enlist with a mate of mine, I got out of it and he was successful in getting into the service and was killed!

“So, I think good fortune features into it a good deal and I think good management too,” says Len, who never took to smoking and limits beer to the odd social occasion, “I always appreciated that the human body was something that had to be looked after and could be abused and that by taking injurious substances into your body, you would damage it.

“I realise that and I think that's part of the secret of me being reasonably healthy all my life and for so long.”

Comment sought on multi-level apartment plan for Prince Street

Site of our Base Hospital for many years, Orange Council is now seeking public comment on plans to build new multi-level apartments on the western end of the DPIE building in Prince Street.

If you want to find out more, Orange City Council is organising a public information session to be held next Tuesday, June 28 at 6pm in the Council Chambers.

This follows Council recently receiving a Development Application (DA) from the Central West-based MAAS Group and subsequently writing to residents in the neighbourhood to tell them about the project.

Orange Mayor, Councillor Jason Hamling is encouraging local residents to find out more about the proposed project and to consider making a submission.

“This is a first for Orange. It’s the first time a proposal for a large, multi-storey apartment block has been put forward and I’m hoping residents take the time to find out more about it, and think about making a submission if they wish,” Cr Hamling said.

As part of the project, a proposed planning agreement will see Orange City Council take ownership of the park area once it has been established. The details of this agreement are also on show for community comment.

hardroad roadleads leads AAhard beautifulthings things totobeautiful

The proposed development includes:

• a row of 17 two-storey townhouses on Dalton Street with a 34-space basement carpark; • a five-storey apartment building containing 63 apartments on Prince Street, with a 104-space basement carpark;

• a public park between the residential buildings.

Orange City Council and MAAS have entered an agreement for the sale of the site which will soon be finalised.

Deadline for comments from the community is 5pm, Monday, July 18. To comment, go to: www.yoursay. orange.nsw.gov.au/103-prince-street

“Bubbles gets her haircut” — a yarn five years in the making

— DAVID DIXON —

A yarn five years in the making, “Bubbles” is finally free!

Half a decade in the forest back-blocks behind Mt Canobolas, this one lucky ewe had her first shear last weekend, and it all went as smooth as lanolin.

“Bubbles the Sheep” got her long-awaited haircut — two months after being rescued — from one of the best “barbers” in the business!

Four-decade veteran shearer, Simon Bestwick, stepped up to help Bubbles, and her saviour, old-style roustabout Ken Hayden, who liberated the full-grown (and very heavily-wooled) ewe from a tenuous life of solitary subsistence.

Simon’s 20-minute shearing — using the tether technique he applies to alpacas — was a relief not just for Bubbles, but for her rescuer as well.

“I’m so relieved, this has been a huge weight off my shoulders, and I’m just so happy that we were able to get her shorn,” Ken said.

After advertising her plight in the OCL of April 14 and 21, Simon stepped forward, after a very gentle push from his better half!

“I thought I’d offer to help, after hearing about her plight, thought it would be a good thing to do,” Simon explained.

“Actually, possibly it was my wife, Steph, who read about her first, and suggested that I help,”

he added sheepishly.

“She certainly needed that ‘haircut’, but it all went as smooth as silk, no problems,” Simon added after his marathon effort.

After rescuing Bubbles — named after her ratherrounded, frothy appearance — while doing some fencing on a property adjacent to the wilds of Mt Canobolas, Ken fancied giving this lucky ewe a second chance at life.

“Soon as I rescued her, I just wanted to give her a new chance at life, and this shearing will give her that,” Ken said.

The legend of Bubbles began with Ken earlier this year rouseabouting and fencing on a property near Mt Canobolas.

“I’m a stockman, I was on a place where I was musterin’, looking for some cattle, and I come up on top of this rise,” Ken recalls.

“There she was on top of the hill, in about four-foot of Phalaris, all you could see was the top of her head.

“When she saw me, she took off down the hill and we noted she was a fully-woolled sheep,” he said.

As if by fate, however, this was not the last that they saw of Bubbles — their second encounter probably saving her from slow starvation.

“Bubbles” the sheep with her rescuer Ken Hayden.

Local shearer Simon Bestwick stepped up to see she finally got the haircut she so badly needed.

“It wasn’t till about an hour and a half later, where we were following a fence-line, and we found her wedged between a strainer post and another existing fence, we drove up, and she couldn’t move backwards or forwards.

“With both of us heaving from one end, we managed to get her out and then we thought, ‘what are we going to do with her now?’.”

Ken and his colleague realised that this was a life-anddeath decision for Bubbles.

“So, BJ and I thought, ‘she’ll only die if we leave her out here’, but both of us couldn’t lift her, it’s just dead-weight.

“Later on that day after fixing fences, we saw her in this paddock and managed to load her on the truck.”

Both Ken and Simon believed, correctly, that a traditional shear — where the sheep is essentially, sat on its tail as the shearer works around its body with the comb — would not work in Bubbles’ case, hence his use of the tethers.

“I normally now shear alpacas, and we use the same techniques which are quite different, than for sheep shearing,” Simon explained.

“Now it’s done and she’s okay, she can get on and enjoy the rest of her life,” Ken concluded.

...Soon as I rescued her, I just wanted to give her a new chance at life, and this shearing will give her that...

comment

with DAVID DIXON

“We’re there for you”, until, alas, we’re not…

One of the creepiest trends in modern society is that of large corporations pretending to be our friends and protectors, rather than just service providers.

Running out of petrol recently — not that uncommon an occurrence in our current $2 a litre climate — I called a wellknown roadside assistance organisation to drop off a gallon of petrol or, alternatively, drive me to Lucknow Petrol Station only a kilometre and a half away.

I knew I was in trouble though the second that the “Roadside Customer Service Officer” started complaining, “I can’t hear you, speak up!”, implying that the bad reception from a mobile call in the freezing rain at night beside a busy truck-laden highway, was somehow the caller’s fault.

Informing her of my precarious position, barely 30 centimetres off the road, she said they would have to send a tow truck to load our car up and tow us to the nearest service centre.

How many kilos, does a five-year fleece weigh?

My wife then informed the customer service officer, that we just needed a few litres of fuel to get to the nearest petrol station, or at least a lift where I could pick the fuel up myself. (As with many drivers in these times, I carry a can of fuel in the boot; however, the 15-degree angle at which I was parked on the grass verge, was apparently too great for the outlet hose to the engine to pick up).

Half a decade in the wilderness, how heav y do you think a 40cmleng th fleece, weighs?

Guess the weight of Bubbles’ full fleece, with the chance for a $50 Ashcroft’s IGA shopping voucher!

Clue: Bubbles is a second-cross ewe of abou t five years of age, who has never been shorn.

The first correct entr y in kilograms will be the winner. If no entr y is correct, the closest weight guessed, will be judged the winner.

Drop-in your entr y by 5pm , Monday, June 27 at Orange City Life, Suite 3, 241 Lords Place, or email us here at: reception@oclife.com.au.

Leaving us on hold for 10 minutes “while I ask my supervisor”, she then returned to say that, “no”, we would have to have a tow due to the danger that the roadside assistance officer would be in, in putting fuel in our tank.

responded that no assistance would be rendered, unless we agreed to the tow!

Hanging up in despair, I decided to hotfoot it to Lucknow in the rain, with my now-empty fuel container to buy a gallon and, hopefully, get a lift back.

This left my wife — unable to walk herself due to wearing dress shoes — sitting miserable and frightened on a nearby hillock in the rain; too scared to sit in a vehicle that had trucks roaring past a few inches from the driver-side window.

I then hared across country before arriving at the petrol station where, to my amazement, I met one of those people who you hope to run into when in trouble.

A long-time acquaintance from Millthorpe, he and his wife had just enjoyed a local meal and gladly drove me back, insisting on parking their own vehicle behind ours to provide protection, as I ran the fuel into the tank. They then waited while I started the car and followed us to the petrol station.

Arriving home wet and tired, but relieved after our ordeal, the roadside assistance driver then rang our mobile and asked where we were.

After telling him our ordeal, he said that he had insisted that he drop the petrol off to us, rather than the obligatory tow.

Too late, alas, for my wife who has had a week’s sick leave due to a raging fever seemingly exacerbated by an hour in freezing rain waiting for assistance that came too late.

While running out of petrol is ultimately the driver’s responsibility, one does sort of expect a roadside assistance service to provide what they offer.

Pointing out that both ourselves and the tow-truck driver would be in far greater danger loading a vehicle up on a busy highway at night, she answered that it was a “duty of care issue” for their staff.

From our large corporations who deliver us essential amenities in our lives, I don’t expect or care what their views are on current social issues and how enlightened and “inclusive” they are.

Answering that I was quite happy to run the fuel in myself, the tank inlet being on the left-hand side of the vehicle, she

I just expect them, like our reliable old friends from Millthorpe, to be there when we need them.

correspondence

Angela O’Callaghan with the card she received upon writing a message of congratulations to Queen Elizabeth II on her Platinum Jubilee.

— JONATHAN ROE —

Watching the recent celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee, it was evident that so many Australians hold our monarch, Queen Elizabeth II in high esteem; but how many think to actually write and tell her so?

“Well, I've always admired her greatly,” said Angela O’Callaghan, who found herself inspired by the Jubilee celebrations, to pick up a pen and write her own message of congratulations to Her Majesty.

“I've had tremendous admiration for her total dedication to her role for 70 years — it’s extraordinary and I wanted to congratulate her,” Angela said.

“I was aware that she was probably going to get a million letters this year, it is the kind of thing that school teachers get their students to do, but I certainly had a sense of satisfaction when I posted the letter.”

More than just congratulating the Queen on her 70-year reign, Angela particularly felt it important to say “thanks”.

“So often we forget to thank people,” she said, “and so I thanked her for her role as Monarch, and as the Head of the Commonwealth — I think we are a very fortunate country to be a parliamentary democracy, with the Queen as our Head of State.

“And while I know a lot of people are moving toward us becoming a republic at the moment, I think the system isn't broken while we have Queen Elizabeth in the role.

“I also said, I thought she was a wonderful role model as a daughter, a wife, and a mother.”

Knowing full-well that her letter was bound to be just one in a tide of correspondence, Angela was pleasantly surprised to find a “Royal Mail” postmarked letter in her mailbox

WHAT’S ON

AT THE VIC...

Schnitzel Burger Schooner of or Soft Drink

one morning.

“When I posted the letter I thought, ‘I'm glad I've done that’. I felt like it was the right thing to do and so, when several months later, this letter turned up in my mailbox…

“It was a beautiful gesture and I thought the card itself was quite lovely.”

Knowing Angela personally (she happens to be my mother-in-law), her diligence in keeping in touch with friends or family, is something I’ve long admired. You will find her constantly writing letters, calling friends, or reaching out to send a message or card to someone she knows on a special occasion. Rarely a birthday, wedding, anniversary, or promotion will pass without a greeting

card, or message or phone call from Angela.

There’s no better example of this, than Angela’s six-decade-long friendship with her Canadian “pen friend” Linda.

“I started writing to her when I was eight, so It's been 61 years and that has been an amazing friendship. Linda is one of my closest friends,” said Angela, who has only met Linda once in person back when she was 18.

But technology has made fostering their friendship easier than ever, she said.

“Now, it’s moreso just sending a quick email or text message, but probably three times a year, we will have a long ‘FaceTime’ conversation, which is just wonderful.”

Club Millthorpe;

use it or lose it!

Club Milltho rpe Committee m ember, Colin Townse nd .

Residents are being asked to get behind the cl ub; or see it close.

— DAVID DIXON —

For decades they were an Australian institution — providing sporting competition, a sense of community and friendship, fine hospitality… and cheap beer(!) — for our venerated “senior citizens”.

Millthorpe, however, is one of the few villages still with its traditional “bowlo” club.

Locals though have been given a stark ultimatum over the facility established in the dark days of World War II — use it or lose it!

Committee for the club recently wrote an open letter to the community, laying out the stark situation for this village resource.

“Basically, we’re looking for support from locals; we can’t seem to make ends meet,” Club Manager, Kelly Denzell said.

“We own the site. Our overheads are electricity, rates, insurance, catering,” she said, adding that this was one area where they would like to expand their base.

“We’ve just started advertising for functions to be held here, 18ths, 21sts, kids parties, any event that we can hold,”

Kelly said.

With just over 150 current members, lifelong local Kelly remembers when the two bowling greens at the venue, now called “Club Millthorpe”, used to be regaled with the gentle banter of bowlers and the soft clunk of bowls colliding with jacks.

“I used to walk past as a kid, and both greens would be filled with bowlers,” she reminisced.

Affluence, the rise of the grey nomads, and changing demographics have seen the popularity of this most English of sports decline since its heyday in the 1970s.

However, the club still maintains its two greens to play standards, despite the cost and work this entails for its mostly volunteer Committee and members.

“The bottom green is still used by

competition bowlers; the top green is used for social bowls.

“Though the green-keeper has been unable to get onto the green due to the wet weather,” Kelly said.

Committeemen (and cook) Colin Townsend, said that the club is a vital resource for the prosperous and growing Millthorpe community that may not miss it, until it is gone.

“Our bowling numbers are falling down, if we close, Millthorpe will lose this asset,” he said.

The first thing the club needs, is volunteers with their Responsible Service of Alcohol (RSA) and Responsible Conduct of Gambling (RCG) certificates to staff the bar for the odd shift.

“At the moment, we have only a few volunteers who put in heaps of work,” Kelly said.

“Membership is only $15 per year, so that’s another way that people can support the club,” she added.

An open letter to the “Millthorpe Community” on May 20, said the club only had funds for another 12 weeks to keep going and that they were open to suggestions for keeping the facility open and running.

“We know we need to do what it takes to get the community involved in our club and avoid having to close the doors for good,” the letter added.

Even having a few beers or a Saturday night meal at the club, could be enough to keep this unique piece of old Australia, up and running.

“We’re after new ideas and suggestions, anything that can help” Colin concluded.

Solstice swim to mark slow return to summer — JONATHAN ROE —

With the mercury hovering just above 11 degrees and dark clouds threatening rain in the south, it wouldn't strike most people as the ideal time for a swim.

But at midday on Tuesday, a small group of locals stripped-off and gingerly waded into the frigid water of Gosling Creek dam in what’s become an annual celebration of the Winter Solstice.

“This is the seventh consecutive year and it started... I can't remember how it started,” said Harley Smith who, just 24 hours prior, had been swimming in the warm, tropical waters off a Fijian island.

“One of your hair-brained schemes, no doubt!” added friend, Chris Cameron, helpfully.

“We like to celebrate the unofficial days

of the year,” continued Harley, “Holidays like ‘No Pants Day’ and ‘Talk Like a Pirate Day’ and all those sorts of things, so this is another in the collection of unusual days to celebrate.”

laughs Chris. “A PG solstice swim.”

The Winter Solstice represents a turning point in the seasons, the moment the Earth's pole is tilted the furthest from the sun. It is the day with the shortest hours of sunlight and has long been marked by festivals and various traditions all over the world.

“I think it’s a good recognition of seasonal patterns and it brings you back to nature,” he said.

“Why not go swimming on one of the coldest days of the year,” she said with a laugh.

“I woke-up this morning and told my kids how it was the shortest day of the year and the Winter Solstice and it’s a chance to explain the way the planet and the solar system works and how we function within it.”

“You could be at home or working, but why not do it? I also do a bit of open water swimming on the coast, so doing it here in the middle of winter is just a different experience.”

In Hobart, the famous Dark Mofo Winter Solstice swim sees thousands of people strip naked for a dip in the River Derwent.

Canberra too, has its own nude solstice swim for charity.

“We do a family-friendly version here,”

Nathan Cotter, Harley’s partner in crime for their first solstice swim seven years ago, said it’s also a way to better understand our place in the natural world.

Nathan said there’s also evidence that a dip in cold water can be beneficial.

“Yeah, there's a theory that it's good for you, it can shock your system out of

For first-time Winter solstice swimmer, Vivian Howard, choosing to join in was simply a case of “Why Not?”

COVID and other illnesses took their toll on participant numbers for this year’s swim, with just seven taking the plunge into Gosling Creek dam, down from 25 swimmers in 2021.

Church cafe, where everyone speaks the same language

Vicki George and Rhonda Jefferson

— JONATHAN ROE —

The room at St James Presbyterian Church, is buzzing when I walk in. Seated at half a dozen tables in groups of four or five, people are deep in conversation over cups of tea and cake.

And that’s the whole point, says Rhonda Jefferson, one of the organisers behind Cafe Chat.

An initiative of the St James Presbyterian Church community, Cafe Chat is a fortnightly meet-up for non-English speakers to practice conversational English in an informal setting.

“It is not about teaching anything, it is just about coming and having a cuppa like you would in a cafe,” explains Rhonda.

“We are all volunteers, it doesn't cost anything… just come-in, sign at the door, we all wear a nametag and then come and sit down at the table, a waiter will come and ask what you want to have — coffee, tea, milkshakes, hot chocolate — and we encourage people to bring their families and their children if they can.

“We want to welcome people and let them know we can help them in any way we can — sometimes people need help filling out forms and things like that — English isn't an easy language!”

Started in just the past few months, Cafe Chat is held every second Monday, with a morning session from 10am–12pm, and an evening session from 7–9pm.

There are no formalities or planned

activities, and you can come and go as you please, says Vicki George, another of the volunteer organisers.

It is simply somewhere to practice spoken English.

“Even though a lot of these people here today are learning English through the TAFE, it is more formal English — the focus is on reading and writing. Whereas this gives them a chance to practise what they are learning in a conversational form with native English speakers in a natural setting,” says Vicki.

“We always have question prompts on tables for if the conversation lags, but it doesn't really lag, as you can see here today,” she adds, gesturing to the tables of people chatting away behind her.

Attendance has been growing slowly but steadily over the past weeks, mostly through word of mouth, and it has seen a real community start to form, says Rhonda, telling how some of the regular attendees now meet up socially.

“It is all about building relationships with people and it has been quite successful in that way…and it is amazing how much we've all learnt having them all come,” she says.

“That's the point of it all; for people to come and feel relaxed and have a chat.”

Cafe Chat is held twice a month on Mondays, 10am–12pm and 7–9pm, at the St James Presbyterian Church, Matthews Ave. For more information contact Vicki on 0401 292 335 or Margaret on 0428 835 866.

OCLife | Community Reward offered… Sebastian Jones, whose special bond with his dog “Sharky”, has been broken by the cross-dingo’s sudden disappearance last week.

Help Sebastian find Sharky;

Their loyalty, unconditional love, and good-natured optimism, can touch and even transform the way that we view the world.

Sebastian explained.

So it has been for local Sebastian Jones, whose special bond with his dog “Sharky”, has been broken by the cross-dingo’s sudden disappearance last week.

“Absolutely, he’s definitely turned my life around in a very short period of time,” Sebastian said. “In many ways, he’s more like a son, rather than a dog.”

Sebastian has been so distraught by Sharky’s loss, that he has offered a very substantial reward in this week’s Orange City Life for anyone who finds the ninemonth-old half-grown dog and returns him safely.

“I wasn’t a very spiritual person, but he’s taught me this, in a very profound way.

He’s something very special,” Sebastian added.

“He was a private adoption in the Seal Rocks area near Forster. I grew up here, but moved up there due to COVID,”

Sharky, however, has touched Sebastian’s heart in ways that he never thought possible.

From a hobby farm in the Nashdale, Woods Lane, Cargo Road area, Sharky’s disappearance is, Sebastian said, well out of character.

“He’s been missing since Friday; he’s

what the reward is for, so that he will be returned,” Sebastian said.

Sebastian’s flyer points out that his pet is not in any way hostile or belligerent.

“Sharky is well trained, rather shy, and timid. Not aggressive, sweet nature,” the ad states.

For now, Sebastian’s doing his level best to find his special companion, spending most days in his search for the dog that means so much to him, as he tells Orange City Life his story. “I’m out towards Lake Canobolas looking for him, I’m going to stay out here and start spotlighting until I find him,” Sebastian said.

“Because of his background, he’s more like a skittish horse than a typical dog in his temperament, he’s a very timid animal,” Sebastian added.

With, what he says is a gentle nature and attractive appearance, he thinks that someone may have adopted Sharky as a stray, unaware that his owner is desperately seeking his return.

“Someone may have taken him in, that’s

Due to his wild origins, Sharky cannot metabolise beef or grain additives properly, with fresh turkey or chicken best fulfilling his dietary needs.

“I’d love to have him back and am happy to pay the money, no questions asked,” Sebastian concluded.

Can you help? If you know something or have seen Sharky around, call Sebastian on 0481 700 776.

VOLUNTEERS SOUGHT TO ADD VARIETY

It’s been a long pandemic for some of our most vulnerable, and Recreational Activity Officer Natalie from Prunus Lodge Aged Care in Molong, is now seeking a helping hand.

If variety is the spice of life, then the last two years for many of our elderly have proven pretty bland.

It’s been a long pandemic for some of our most vulnerable people in care with Recreational Activity Officer, Natalie from Prunus Lodge Aged Care in Molong, now seeking a helping hand.

Prunus Lodge is a values-based aged care facility with the UPA Organisation, providing more than 80 years of aged care services across the State to local people.

Volunteers with a range of interests, skills, and passions, are being sought to bring a touch of variety to the lives of 28 residents, and would be made most welcome, says Natalie.

There are so many benefits to

volunteering, which include uniting all people and contributing to a strong community spirit, she added.

Prunus Lodge can offer volunteering that matches an individual’s skill-set, such as one-to-one social interaction, supporting group activities, or the sharing and learning of new skills.

They are looking for people who can do arts and crafts with the elderly, share hands-on gardening experience, or even support a men’s group.

“We’re even after performers who can come-in and put on a bit of a show for the residents, though some of our residents

What is an Enduring Power of Attorney?

This is a document that allows you to appoint the person or people you want to make your financial decisions for you if you cannot make your own financial decisions.

The person you appoint is called your attorney.

What power does an attorney have?

Your attorney has the power to manage your assets in the same way you can manage them now, they can: • Withdraw money from your bank account • Sell property that you own • Sell shares that you own Your attorney must keep your funds separate from his or her own funds and only spend your money to benefit you and anyone that you specifically allow them to benefit.

Can I have more than one attorney?

You can have more than one attorney. If you appoint more than one person to act as your attorney, you can either appoint P: 02 5318 2045 Suite 10, Level 2, 296-298 Summer St, Orange

them so they can act separately or so they must act together.

Why is having an Enduring Power of Attorney important?

If you do not have an Enduring Power of Attorney in place and lose the capacity to make financial decisions, then your family or friends are required to apply to the Guardianship Tribunal for an order nominating someone to act as you financial manager.

This delays decisions and may result in the appointment of the NSW Trustee and Guardian or the Public Trustee.

are keen critics,” Natalie laughs.

She said local retailers interested in putting on a small stall for the residents, such as clothes and gifts, would be most welcome.

From a family background in the caring profession, Natalie says: “It isn’t just a job, it’s a passion I have had and a love for my seniors which stems from my childhood and amazing grandparents. I just love to help them and am keen to create as stimulating an environment as possible for the Prunus Lodge residents.

“Volunteering is time willingly given for the common good, with the resulting

value immense and irreplaceable,” she added.

“It also empowers individuals, enhances organisations, and strengthens communities,” she concluded.

To become a volunteer, you are required to show evidence of full vaccination against COVID-19, undergo a police check, and be ready to receive lots of valuable stories and joy that Prunus Lodge residents will bring in return.

Donato: “They’re what makes our country community, so special”

Toby Barons of C2G

From dedicated volunteers, remarkable sportspeople and passionate artists, to innovative business leaders and humble quiet achievers — the extraordinary accomplishments of our local citizens were publicly acknowledged last Friday at a special Community Recognition Presentation event held in the historic Lucknow School Hall.

Local Member, Phil Donato, hosted the inaugural event and presented the awards recognising the amazing efforts of both individuals and organisations in making a difference around the Orange electorate.

“It never ceases to amaze me, as I continue to discover individuals and organisations across the Orange electorate, doing unique and

extraordinary things,” Mr Donato said.

“Recognising people from our community, is one of the most rewarding things about my job as the elected representative for Orange — celebrating their remarkable work and efforts.”

Mr Donato presented each of the award recipients with a certificate that included a copy of the speech that he delivered in the NSW Parliament in officially recognising each of them.

The individual award recipients included: Max Hazelton, Nicole Vautin, Sarah McIntosh, Janice Harris, Jenny Coleman OAM, Katherine Skinner, Bianca Fuller, Reg Kidd, Sam Rodwell, Haylee Redfern, Kristy Williams, Pat Drabsch, Val Glasheen, Pauline

Nicholson and Lynette Pengilly of Parkes Tennis Centre, Robbie Mortimer, Kelly Rimmer, and Dr David Howe.

Organisations and events recognised included: the Country Women’s Association, Cumnock Show Society, Orange Running Festival, Volcanic Mountain Challenge, Orange Tongan Community, Ronald McDonald House, C2G, Stronger Together, Banjo Paterson Festival, Gnoo Blas Classic Club, Orange Symphony Orchestra, and Emus Rugby Club.

“There are many people among us who go under the radar, humbly serving the community, or who are quietly achieving,” Mr Donato continued.

“These award recipients are people who’ve volunteered decades of

their lives to community activities and charitable causes; dedicated sportspersons and artists who are reaching the pinnacles of their fields, clever and innovative business people making life better for others, dedicated professionals who’re advancing in their vocational craft, and there are kind and generous people – good Samaritans.

“Most of these people don’t seek accolades or public recognition, they’re motivated people who possess attributes such as team and community spirit, care for fellow citizens and community, dedication and passion for their vocation or interest.

“This day is about them – they’re what makes our country community so special,” Mr Donato concluded.

Always eager to learn, Lauren engages in extra-curricular activities at school. In Year 8, Lauren chose elective subjects that involved spending time on the school farm, though she admits, she knew little about agriculture at that time. Since then, her experiences on the school farm have led her to discover a passion for agriculture and has even competed as part of the Cattle Team. In addition, she hopes to run her own farm in the future. Lauren has also represented James Sheahan in the arts and sport, as a member of the Aboriginal Dance Group and the school’s New Zealand Netball Team. More recently, she has also been involved in school plays, including in the upcoming play in 2022.

Lauren describes Sheahan as an uplifting place that is committed to all students, giving her the motivation to build a strong future for herself.

The goodenough parent with Emily Thompson

Miss Eight

Sometimes I think about running away. I don’t of course, mostly because I really fear the description of me that will be broadcast in the police report: “Missing: Tired-looking woman, approximately 42 years of age, but looks much older. Hair brown, but greying and commonly worn pulled into a messy bun in an attempt to disguise the fact it was washed more than two four days ago. Last seen fleeing town without any makeup on, dressed in an unflattering mix of Big W clothes, driving an unwashed grey utility with four Mars Bar wrappers on the front passenger seat”.

So I stay. (Also, because I love my family, etc.)

But can we talk about the mid-year mental load for a minute?

It’s INSANE! And on top of parent-teacher interviews, a vicious flu season and work performance reviews (oh God), Miss Seven becomes Miss Eight tomorrow! And there’s no lockdown to save me from throwing a birthday party this year.

No wonder parents dream of making a run for it. The only shining light I can see right now, is the fact that I can’t afford salad and so shouldn’t be expected to feed the kids anything but toasted sandwiches.

But I guess there are other positives to be found. I mean, the high cost of petrol gives us all a great excuse not to travel anywhere and the current flu that’s circulating has seen us have another minilockdown when we’re not at work or school.

The downside of this, is that Miss Seven is without friends to occupy her, so is gleefully enjoying torturing us all in the semihostage situation we have found ourselves in.

She begins with me, obviously.

At dinner, while discussing birthday party themes, I start to choke on a pea (as if we needed any more proof that peas are evil and should be avoided at all cost). Poor Miss 13 leapt up to help me and hubby came running in from the next room. Miss Seven just started talking LOUDER about what colour streamers she needs so I wouldn’t miss hearing her over the sounds of myself choking! How dare I not give her my full attention? The AUDACITY of it.

After dinner we FaceTime Grandma and Pop — Pop to discuss birthday plans and ask about their day (after the kids have spent a good ten minutes talking about themselves and I hiss “ask THEM something”). Halfway through telling us about their afternoon walk, Miss Seven yawned.

“Are we boring you?” Grandma asks jokingly.

“Well yes, actually,” Miss Seven replies, with a twinkle in her eye and a smirk on her face.

This little miss has ruled us all with an iron fist since the day she was born. Her determination was evident from the start; she spent the first two hours of her life perfecting the art of ripping out her nasogastric tube.

But now, thankfully, she is outgrowing her megalomaniac tendencies and slowly settling into her role as an entertainer. She’s developing an incredible sense of humour… that I’m sure she will use against us for many years to come.

Settling in for the night, I pop on an old episode of the game show Wipeout I found online. It’s hilarious, I explain to the girls, because it’s a ninja warrior course, but the contestants are people like me.

“Are they really old?” quips Miss Seven immediately.

And with that, we enjoy one last morsel of biting wit from our brilliant seven-year-old.

I can’t wait to see what fun we have with our little Miss Eight in the morning.

HAVE A “HOGWARTS” SCHOOL HOLIDAY AT ORANGE LIBRARY

Escape rooms, lego, dress-ups, and wandmaking — Orange Library is brewing up some serious wizardly fun these school holidays as they celebrate the 25th anniversary of the much-loved Harry Potter children’s book series.

“It is a very exciting July school holidays this year,” local librarian Sean Brady said. “As it is the 25-year anniversary of Harry Potter and so we’ve been putting together a whole lot of Harry Potterthemed activities.”

The showcase event is a Hogwarts-esque escape room at the historic stately home and former orphanage “Croagh Patrick”.

“The escape room is our premiere event, and it will be happening up at Croagh Patrick – OCTEC have kindly allowed us to use their facilities up there, and it has a gothic sort of feel to it in the architecture,” Sean said.

The escape room will run for three days in the first week of the holiday (Wednesday, July 6 to Friday, July 8), with four separate sessions held each day.

For those Harry Potter fans no longer at school, fear not! The library is also holding two evening sessions on Friday, July 8.

“Twenty-fve years of Harry Potter, means that there will be a chunk of readers who were reading Harry Potter when it first came-out and who now are adults and won’t have access to all the school holiday activities, so we decided to put on some adult events as well,” said Sean.

Also, on Friday, July 1, there will be a special Harry Potter “Library Up Late” event just for the adults, he added.

“We are having a Harry Potter Trivia quiz night for the adults… It will be hosted by Ben from Tricialicious and there will be wine and cheese and snacks and things,” Sean said.

Week Two of the school holidays, will see the usual range of library holiday activities, but all with a Harry Potter Twist.

“Tech toys and Lego Club, but we will definitely be

having Harry Potter themes around each of those activities.

“For the lego club, we have a number of Harry Potter Lego kits, which we will be getting kids to build but I think we will also have some free-build activities of Hogwarts-themed creations in the lego club as well,” Sean said.

To finish up the final week, there will be a “wrap party” on Thursday, July 14 celebrating all things Harry Potter.

“We always have a wrap party for the school holidays, but this will be called the ‘Potterfest Wrap Party’ and it will include a dress-up competition, wand-making workshops, and we will be having a Harry Potter-themed trivia quiz!”

Whether you are a wizard, witch, or muggle — there will be something for you at the library this July. For more visit the Central West Libraries website (www.cwl.gov.au) or their events page on eventbrite.com.au

Concrete progress in return of Millthorpe’s iconic corner store

Adam Ashcroft outside the guttedout Millthorpe corner store. Hoping that his “Ashcrof ts on Pym” can open later this year.

Locals in one of our beautiful historic villages will soon be able to again buy a tin of baked beans and a case of soft drink while catching up on village news, following return of its general shop.

Millthorpe’s iconic “corner store” is returning to its retail roots, just as soon as contractors have enough dry weather to start work again!

stripped back to foundations. Every time we looked at something, we found more work that needed to be done,” he explained.

Members of a well-known Orange supermarket family are currently overseeing major renovation of the site which shut early this year, with the reopened “mini-mart” to be called, “Ashcrofts on Pym”.

This project however is no debut in the fine art of running a good supermarket for Adam who, with his brother Ben, cut his teeth in the merchandising game.

“It will be more your old-school general store, we’ve got rid of the commercial kitchen, which was all leased,” Adam Ashcroft said.

Preliminary assessment of the site, however — a trading store for more than a century — found major structural work that needed addressing.

“We looked at it, and all the flooring was uneven; add-ons and tacked-on boards overlaying the old floorboards,” he explained.

“We could have gone for a band-aid solution, but we decided it would be better in the long-term to fix it right the first time. It was completely gutted and

“Especially Dad, when he was establishing the business, he was really keen for us to learn the trade. It’s the real old stereotype of the ‘mum and pop’ store,” Adam said of his family’s two supermarkets in Orange.

“Soon as we could walk, we were going to get the trolleys,” he laughs.

When the Millthorpe corner store, which had become a mixed newsagent, general store, café, and takeaway milk bar, hit hard times due to the COVID-19 lockdowns, his family stepped in.

“The previous landlord contacted Dad and said that he was not renewing his lease. He said to Dad (Ian Ashcroft) ‘the village needs a general store,’ which suited us fine.

“We’ve never done hospitality, all we’ve done is supermarkets, though this one will be a lot smaller at only 260 square metres, so it’s a bit of a change,” he explained.

Adam will be running the store with oversight from his brother, Ben who runs a family supermarket at Dubbo.

“My brother and I, it’s all we’ve ever done. I have the same family business sense, but I like a quieter life,” Adam explained.

Adam is now waiting for enough dry weather for the large polished concrete slab to be poured with another month for curing.

He is patient though at the delays, moving upstairs with his partner and looking forward to becoming part of the thriving village community.

“We’re hoping to reopen sometime this year, we hope to lay the slab this month but, at the moment, it has all stopped.

Stripping back the 120-yearold building to its bare bones has uncovered many old fragments of the building’s retail history that ranged from general merchandise, men’s wear, groceries, drapery, hardware and farm produce.

“If we can pour the concrete slab in the next few weeks, and it can cure in the next month… three months to open, would be fantastic!” he enthused.

Peter Amos, whose family ran the business for decades, recalls in the 1960s the store selling new-fangled television sets with he being designated aerial installer, having to clamber over the rooftops of many Millthorpe homes to ensure reception.

“The money is adding up, I’ll say that much, but we look at it as a long-term investment. I’m coming out with ‘the missus’ and we’re moving in.

He said that the family is invested in the project and want to get it done right, not quickly.

“We’re both really looking forward to becoming part of the community; we can’t wait!”

...We’re hoping to reopen sometime this year, we hope to lay the slab this month but...

PaulTIERNEY SCOOTERS, YODA, AND FORREST GUMP My love affair with Canberra continues to grow

Canberra. What a cracking place.

With our youngest down there studying, our semi-regular trips bring excitement to all. At just over three hours from Orange to Northbourne Avenue, down-and-back in the day is not out of the question as well.

Whenever I drive down the long entry road, I can’t help quoting Forrest Gump when he says: “I’m glad we’re here in our nation’s capital”. Also on the way in, there’s a few places on the road where things merge and the bitumen paint says ‘Form One Lane’.

But, if (like we all are) you read it the other way, it uses Yoda-speak and says ‘Lane One Form’. My apologies to you if you end up doing this for the rest of your life.

Anyway, to Canberra. I arrived on my own and went straight to one of my fave places in the whole world, which is standing in front of Blue Poles. She has some sort of hypnotic power over me, that painting. I just stood there on my own for about 20 minutes, soaking her in and finding something new at every glimpse.

They say it is worth about $350 million nowadays, but at more than five metres long, tying it to the roof of the old red ute and driving back up the highway, probably isn’t on the cards.

The young kid I was meeting down there has just turned 21, and he’s picked up a peachy job. He’s a ‘Scooter Guy’, who helps service, repair, and maintain the hundreds of purple electric scooters around the ACT. A perfect job for a uni student.

An extra benefit of this is that he’s got an admin pass, so he and his dad got to scoot everywhere at “mates rates” for the arvo. As I said, peachy. The scooters can reach

25km/h, which is VERY fast if you’re a rookie. No surprise they have some problems with drunkards and little kids having crashes.

After a couple of pints of his go-to XPA, he surprised me with a booking at an Afghani restaurant. Oh man, heaven. His palate is waaay more mature than mine was at his age – oh to be young again. Then we went to an exclusive ice-cream place, he knows his way around Canberra, that kid. Then, in bed early for our big adventure the next day. Can’t wait.

Getting up early for a Sunday run before I met up with him, it was just under five kilometres from motel front door to Mr Albanese’s office.

He wasn’t there at 7am on an icy Sunday morning, but the view from the top of Parliament House is simply breathtaking, and with only other joggers, cyclists, and dog walkers at that hour, it was like having the world a little bit to yourself. It really is a beautiful place. The roads, the lake, the trees. They just need a couple of golden balls (☺ ☺).

Well, what is there to do in Canberra when two nerds get together? Make an assault on the greatest nerd place in the universe is what you do – Questacon, of course. Mr 21 was just a little tacker last time we ventured there. We vividly remember walking away and leaving Mr 5 totally engrossed in one of the ‘space’ experiments – we could have driven home and he wouldn’t have known.

So Mr 56 and Mr 21 nerded-it-up for three hours, pushing buttons, pulling levers, jumping on the earthquake machine, watching lightning be created, reading about the miracles of satellites and space travel, and marvelling at just how amazing our planet really is.

Just like Forrest, I could visit “Our Nation’s Capital” regularly. Between Questacon, Blue Poles, the scooters, elite restaurants, ice-cream, and my young bloke, I’ll be doing a lot of Lane-One-Form over the next few years.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

The Flu Blues: We all know that this flu season has been horrible. We all know that it has caused a huge drain on our health system. We all know the burden it has placed on our teachers. For our family, we have had a flu that is currently making its second round through us.

Just as we think we are all coming out of it, another one goes down. We are going through �ssues like there is no tomorrow.

And if we’re honest, it feels like tomorrow is never going to come. But before I descend into a proverbial puddle of mud to wallow around in self-pity, I wonder if you have been experiencing something similar this season?

That the constant run of stuffy noses and coughing has le� you feeling a li�le bit flat. I know that I have o�en found myself wishing and wan�ng this flu to simply pack up and leave our house for good and let us enjoy this winter without a sore throat.

I was thinking about this the other day, but then something struck me, I can’t actually control this situa�on. I am unable to magically tell this virus to leave me alone. I have no power in myself to make me well. All I can do is ride the wave, stay hydrated, rest and be pa�ent. What does this have to do with our life and �mes?

Too o�en, we find ourselves trying to

maintain a certain level of control over ourselves. We want peace and order in our lives. We long for everything to work out just the way we plan in our minds, but we know that we can never be totally in control.

We know that we are at the mercy of a microscopic virus that throws any plans we may have had out the window and leaves us completely helpless lying on the couch.

If a flu can easily show us that we are not in control of our lives, then the next obvious ques�on is – can we say that someone is in control? This is one of the big ques�ons that the Bible addresses. Central to its message is that God is in control of all things.

In Isaiah 26:12 it says this: ‘Lord, you establish peace for us; all that we have accomplished you have done for us.’ What does this have to do with the flu? No ma�er what is going on, no ma�er what is happening, no ma�er what happens to me, I know that God is the constant. I can trust in him and rely on him to sustain me through all that I face.

It reminds me that while I am not in control of everything, God is. As each of us comes to terms with a recogni�on that we are not in control, it gives us all the opportunity to ask that next ques�on: ‘If I am not, then who is?’

As you ponder that ques�on and go looking for answers, may you find both answers and peace in the One who remains in control, no ma�er what.

Bohemian Rhapsody

"The Miracle" Tour Following a hugely successful sell-out tour, Australia’s most popular Queen tribute act, Bohemian Rhapsody, are returning with a brand new show in 2022.

Without a doubt, Queen is amongst the greatest and most iconic rock bands of the twentieth century and Freddie Mercury is hailed by many as the most charismatic and flamboyant performer in contemporary rock.

And the hit film, Bohemian Rhapsody, exposed the music of this fantastic band to a much wider audience making Queen more popular than ever.

Bohemian Rhapsody’s “The Miracle” tour, promises to be a fantastic live concert experience. Starring the internationally renowned Thomas Crane as Freddie Mercury, Bohemian Rhapsody produces the visual excitement, sound and stage energy of an actual Queen concert as they perform hits like ‘We Will Rock You’, ‘Crazy Little Thing Called Love’, ‘We Are The Champions’, ‘Radio Ga Ga’, ‘A Kind of Magic’, ‘I Want To Break Free’ and ‘Another One Bites the Dust’.

Belle Shakespear presents

The Comedy of Errors Shipwrecked and separated 33 years earlier, two sets of long-lost twins miraculously find themselves in the same city on the same day. What could possibly go wrong?

The Comedy of Errors is a hilarious romp of swapped identities, misguided love, mistaken imprisonment and chaotic mishaps, leading to an unbelievably crazy day for bumbling twins.

At the heart of this tale of comedic misfortune is an old man searching for his lost children.

He finds himself in a hostile land, in the fight of his life... to save his life. As far-fetched coincidences unfold, chaotic hilarity ensues and a man’s life could be saved — if only everything would go to plan.

Directed by longtime Bell Shakespeare collaborator Janine Watson, this is a beautiful story about reunion, wrapped up in an evening of entertainment and laughter.

Orange Civic Theatre, July 1–2.

Tickets at Ticketek or call 63938111.

Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow

After COVID delay, Nerrida Cuddy is back “Live & Kicking” at the Blind Pig

The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow returns to Orange bringing the freshest and funniest from the 2022 Festival to the Orange Civic Theatre stage.

The “all killer, no filler” line-up of Australian stars and talented newcomers includes MC Brett Blake (Flat Stick podcast), Blake Freeman, Bronwyn Kuss, Frankie McNair and Lewis Garnham.

Rescheduled due to illness in April, Canowindra-based singer/songwriter Nerida Cuddy will be bringing her emotion-rich original repertoire to The Blind Pig this Sunday.

June 26.

Nerida Cudd’s songs have been connecting with people from all walks of life for over 25 years.

Originally from Sydney, Nerida fled as soon as she could for the open skies and space of western NSW, a stint in country Victoria, before finally stopping in the historic Central West town of Canowindra.

Nerida loves sharing her music with a range of audiences.

Her stories-in-song are a well-balanced mix of bittersweet tales of life with tasty lashings of humour, generous and fun. Detailed guitar accompanies her warm and passionate voice During the COVID lockdowns of the last two years, Nerida found a new audience, performing online to a UK-based folk club, which gave rise to her song “Virtual Folk Club”. This song is featured on The Arts Out West Album, “While The World Waits”. Nerida has recorded and released five albums with her latest album Woven released in 2021.

Experience her exquisite songs at The Blind Pig Cocktail Bar & Sound Lounge at 4pm, Sunday, June 26.

Live and Kicking is an initiative of Arts OutWest, showcasing the original music of artists from The Central West. Live & Kicking gigs are supported by the Australian Government’s Live Music Australia.

Buckle up for a night of stand-up, sketch, satire, silliness and song in this rip-roaring road trip designed to satisfy all your comedy cravings!

Warnings: Performances often contain coarse language, adult themes, sexual references and material that may offend. The show is recommended for people aged 15 years or older.

Sydney Symphоy Orchestra perf m Tchaik sky

Delayed due to COVID in February, The Sydney Symphony are finally in town for one special night at the Orange Civic Theatre.

Next stop it’s onto Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony as the Orchestra whirls you away into an exploration of Fate. From a dark and brooding opening emerge some of his greatest melodies, a dazzling waltz and a gale-force finale.

Conducted by Johannes Fritzsch, the Program includes: MOZART Lucio Silla: Overture; VAŇHAL Concerto for Two Bassoons; Louisa TREWARTHA Inspire, Fifty Fanfares Commission; and TCHAIKOVSKY Symphony No.5

hits a six with funding boon these kinds of investments in local towns as they directly equal a few more dollars in local pockets,” Jock said.

Cudal Cricket Club will be celebrating its 150th year in style, thanks to the NSW Government “pitching in” for upgrades to their home ground at Dean Park.

“We look forward to defending our title in the upcoming season on our brand new pitch!”

With a $9500 contribution from the Government, the club plans to completely transform their current cricket pitch, the funding will cover the costs of minor earthworks and a new synthetic grass overlay.

NSW Upper House MP, Sam Farraway met with local junior players and parents to announce the funding.

“The Dean Park pitch is currently in a state of disrepair. This investment will see the park revamped into a first-class pitch worthy for all local teams,” he said.

Cudal Cricket Club Secretary, Jock Hough, said that the funding came at the right time and will ensure the 2021/22 Premiership and Minor Premiership winners remain on top of their game.

“We know that programs and clubs make a huge difference to everyday life in the bush. I am delighted to see the Government making

OCLife | let's talk money with DANIEL MCGREGOR

NEVER WASTE A GOOD CRISIS There’s a bit going on in the world right now!

and long-term, and plan accordingly.

I’m sure you don’t need me to tell you that.

If you’re like most Australians, hearing what the news delivered at the moment can cause moments of genuine fear, but as Winston Churchill said, “Never waste a good crisis”. Now is the ideal moment to take stock of the ups and downs that occur and use it as the launchpad to take your financial future by the scruff of the neck in the new financial year.

If there’s one thing we continue to be reminded of, it’s how unpredictable the future can be. No one could have written the script for this year. However, while we can’t pinpoint exactly what the future holds, we can plan for eventualities with logic and reason. We can break things down into the short-term, medium-term

You’ve been around long enough to know that life throws curveballs now and then. The key is to take a best-guess approach to thinking what you want your future to look like, creating a plan to get you on the right track, while taking into account what sorts of bumps could come along and preparing for those, and then reviewing and revising the plan as things unfold.

One quote says it all… ‘If you fail to plan, you’re planning to fail”. If recent times have taught us anything, it’s that having a plan enables us to adapt.

It’s important to keep making plans!

Doing so helps motivate you to keep taking the actions that will lead to success.

If you wait for the perfect time to act, you’ll never act. The same is true of constantly living in fear. If, on the other hand, you

are constantly implementing small steps in the right direction, there will be times when you’ll go a little backwards, but your trajectory will be taking you forward towards achieving longer-term success.

The key is to stick with the plan. You wouldn’t get off a rollercoaster halfway through the ride and it’s much the same when it comes to your investments.

Downturns happen regularly! It’s those who can manage their emotions during these times who come out the winners and those who panic are the inevitable losers.

It’s easy to get trapped in the short-term and the lack of forward planning then leads to regret. Yet, as humans, our big brains mean we are capable of thinking about the future… so it therefore makes sense to plan for that future we’re thinking about.

gets done. With a plan for the future, you can tackle it with a proactive mindset but with the capability to adapt the plan when life throws up something unexpected.

Without a plan, you risk achieving little when times are good and blowing things up when things turn sour.

Think about this for a moment… most people have spent more time planning their last holiday than they’ve ever spent planning their financial future. I’m sure you’ve reaped the benefits from a wellplanned holiday, both in terms of cost and enjoyment. Imagine the benefits of a well-planned financial future!

What’s your plan going forward? If you’re not sure, get in touch and let’s have a chat in the new financial year.

Cheers, Daniel

Hatches Grab a gift stall bargain at Wellington this Saturday Wellington is going to be a great place to get a bargain this Saturday, June 25, says Lions Club President, Chris Hardy.

This is because the town’s lovely Cameron Park is going to be well and truly alive with Rotary's Monthly Market.

Wellington Lions are also hosting a “As New Gift Stall” in aid of Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation, whose goal is to help create 100 per cent survival rate for children with cancer.

There will be all sorts of donated goods from perfume, to crystal glasses, to DVDs, to shoes and handbags, all at great prices.

The club will also be drawing the raffle of a six-burner Beefeater barbecue — again in aid of Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation.

Wellington Lions are also still running their preloved Book Fair, where you can pick-up a great read for only a gold coin donation.

The Preloved Book Fair is opposite Cameron Park at The Western Gallery, where Wellington Arts also have their exhibition.

So why not make the drive up the Molong Road and give this wonderful central west town a look-over, “We are looking forward to seeing lots of people in Wellington this weekend!” Chris concluded.

Check air-conditioning filters to stay healthy, wealthy, and warm Want to stay healthy, warm, and wealthy this winter? Maintain your air-conditioner!

that most people think about,” the airconditioning contractor said.

As ducted air-conditioning has become such a ubiquitous feature of our lives, it’s easy to forget that regular cleaning, matters.

“As well as running more efficiently and using less energy, the air quality in the office will also improve,” he added.

One local business operator recently brought in the experts to clean their filters after noticing that the ducted system seemed to be labouring to maintain an effective heating range.

Like any piece of working machinery, ducted systems require regular maintenance and cleaning, he emphasised.

Disassembling the lattice-like return air filter on the ceiling, the air-con specialist found the inlet a full 95 per cent blocked with about a centimetre of dust, carpet fluff, and random lint, rendering the unit essentially inoperable.

“You really have to check it every two months, and it’s better to wash it.

Vacuuming the filter is a mistake,” he said.

“This is common enough when businesses, particularly in offices that are leased, don’t think to clean the filters as it’s not something

“Not doing this, leads to reduced air-flow, higher running costs, and less efficiency.

Clean those filters!

Winter is the perfect time to check filters on ducted air-conditioners.

Chastened, the office staff made note to regularly check the filters and book yearly checks on the unit’s efficiency.

“You’ll be warm as toast now,” the contractor assured the grateful staff.

BARRACKER THE

Luck, witchcraft, and sang-froid, sporting sudden-death play-offs Euphoria over Australia’s last-leg win over highly fancied Peru in its final World Cup Qualifier to see us to our fifth football (soccer) appearance in a row, was understandable.

For decades, from our first appearance at the world’s premier football event in 1974 to our next in 2006, we came so agonisingly close on so many occasions, we seemed cursed.

In fact, we were! Socceroo legend, Johnny Warren told an infamous story one time where, in a World Cup qualifier against a sub-Saharan Africa team, the Australians employed a local witch doctor to hex the opposition goalkeeper who had thwarted the Socceroos in the first two legs.

The witch doctor proposed planting cursed bones at one end that the opposition keeper would be protecting.

Sure enough, the keeper had a shocker, and Australia progressed further in the qualifying competition.

The witch doctor was never paid by the Australian players, however, and reversed the curse, something which Warren later said, only half-jokingly, had led to the team for more than 30 years not again make the World Cup. Tempering excitement over our win against Peru though was the manner of our victory. The dreaded penalty shoot-out, where individual players must try and put a spot kick from the penalty mark past the keeper into the net.

While this does add a sense of excitement and drama to what has often been a deathly-dull 120-minute goalless draw, as many of these matches prove to be, it is in many ways an unsatisfying way to resolve a sporting contest.

But resolved, it must be. While competitive sports are one of the few areas still in our lives with clear winners and losers, what do you do when there is no clear result at the end of play?

Football, the world’s premier sport and one, due to its traditions and sense of history, is loath to change what has been a winning formula, for years used to have replayed matches to find an eventual winner.

They had also trialled in the 1970s, a penalty count-back system to reward teams that played the most fairly during the game and thereby utilised less cynical fouls to slow the impetus of the opposition.

While the penalty shoot-out adds a spectacular sense of melodrama to the proceedings, it is quite unfair to the individual players — the goal-shooters and the goalkeepers — who are often blamed

for their team’s elimination.

Fluffing a penalty from the spot, which any reasonably professional soccer player should be able to convert, has destroyed the confidence and reputation of many great footballers over the years.

Cricket is another sport prone to deathly dull draws with Test matches now restricted to five full days of play, plus an extra halfsession if a result is in the balance.

Before this, a Test match in South Africa in 1939 went for a full nine-and-half-days, without a result!

In one-day 50-over matches where part wash-outs of games are quite common due to afternoon and evening showers, a Duckworth-Lewis-Stern system was adopted in the 1990s to calculate batting and run “assets” to recalculate run chases for teams batting second.

Rugby league, a brutal, almost gladiatorial sport, has one of the worst methods of deciding drawn matches. At the end of 80-minutes, there is a sudden-death “golden point”: two five-minute halves played until one team scores a point in any form.

The same applies to World Cup rugby union, however, due to the even and odd points system in rugby, tries are worth five points, conversions two, penalties and drop-goals three, drawn matches at the highest levels are relatively rare.

Football codes toyed with the idea, seemingly logical, of every five minutes of extra time, removing one player from each side from the field. The increasing tiredness of the players and the extra space would eventually lead to a goal, try, or field goal to determine the result.

This was apparently rejected due to dutyof-care issues with players suffering heat stroke as they attempted to cover increasing areas of the field.

Tennis sets, which are determined by the first player winning six games leading by two, used to sometimes get up to 20 or 30 games before one player was able to “break” the serve of their opponent and win, are now determined by “tie-breaks” mini-games where players swap serves until one player is up by two points after seven.

Golf has probably the best system, players keep playing on a hole-by-hole basis, until one player gets in front.

But probably the worst-ever tie-break system, was one used at State cricket in Australia in the 1980s, when individual players would attempt to hit the stumps at the batter's end with a legal delivery. The team that first missed the stump, lost the game.

Western Premier League: Round 11 action Barnies clinch famous victory against Dubbo Bulls Barnstoneworth United stunned Dubbo Bulls with a 1-0 victory on Saturday at Apex Oval, Dubbo.

It was Barnies’ third consecu�ve round playing in the Orana region, with this recent victory being the most significant in their top-four quest. A�er dropping points to Parkes last weekend, Dubbo Bulls came into this fixture slightly under pressure to maintain their top-four status in the Western Premier League standings.

It was a cagey affair from the beginning, se�ng up a classic high-tempo contest. But Barnies found the opener in the first half a�er Grant Koch headed the ball into the net off a free-kick.

With the Bulls intensifying their a�ack in the second 45 minutes, the resolute Barnstoneworth defenders managed to neutralise the opposi�on threat. A few vital saves from keeper Brock Logan also prevented the hosts from ge�ng on the scoresheet.

This crucial win propels Barnies into fourth spot in the standings, jumping Dubbo Bulls.

It will also give the red-and-whites extra mo�va�on before heading into the derby clash with Waratahs this Saturday.

Waratahs cruise past Lithgow Workies Waratahs con�nued their fine form on Saturday with a resounding 4-0 over Lithgow Workies at Marjorie Jackson Oval.

With compe��on leaders Panorama FC dropping points in their 2-2 draw with Bathurst ‘75, Waratahs now sit three points behind “the Goats”. This victory against the Workies comes at a great �me as the Tahs prepare for their Round 12 derby clash with Barnies this weekend.

Orange CYMS earn two draws in their double-header weekend Orange CYMS played two games on the weekend, with a round four catch-up Sunday fixture.

A�er securing their first point of the season in round 10’s stalemate with Mudgee Wolves, CYMS played with an abundance of confidence in their clash with Orana Spurs. The green-and-gold managed to keep the Spurs a�ack at bay for the en�re 90 minutes, earning them a second consecu�ve nil-all draw on Saturday evening at Victoria Park, Dubbo.

CYMS grabbed another draw on Sunday, finishing 1-1 with Macquarie United in their catch-up round. This young side has conceded only one goal in their last three games, a posi�ve sign that things have improved immensely in the backline. CYMS remain in last place with three points, but they are now only one point behind Macquarie and Mudgee.

AFL Central West first-grade action Bathurst Bushrangers run riot against Orange Tigers Bathurst Bushrangers handed Orange Tigers their fi�h-straight loss in Saturday’s 157-52 thumping at George Park.

The Tigers were already trialling 44-8 at the

end of the first quarter, se�ng up a long day in the defence. Although Tigers’ a�ack improved in the following quarters, their defence struggled to contain Bushrangers’ onslaught in front of the posts.

Rugby Union: Blowes Cup first-grade action Brave Orange City almost stun Forbes Platypi Orange City came close to causing an upset against the Platypi in their 30-24 loss at the Forbes Rugby Club on Saturday.

Orange City’s footy has improved in nearly every department in the last several rounds.

The Lions also made greater efforts in defence despite this recent loss, giving Forbes’ playmakers a hard �me. Despite this valiant effort, the orange-and-greens remain winless in eight rounds. But based on recent performances and close results, the win is undoubtedly coming for this young Orange City side.

Rugby League: Peter McDonald Premiership action Orange CYMS storm past Workies Orange CYMS returned to their winning ways a�er thumping Lithgow Workies 56-10 on Saturday at the Tony Luche� Sportsground.

With captain-coach Daniel Mor�mer back in the side, it didn’t take long for the visitors to get on the scoreboard when Cooper Monk crossed over for a try in the fourth minute.

The green-and-gold scored another three tries in the first half to take a 22-6 lead into the break.

During the second half, CYMS showed no mercy on their opposi�on as they scored another six tries in 18 minutes. Nick Murphy scored two of these tries in the last seven minutes of the match. This empha�c victory sees CYMS keep the pressure on Group 10 leaders, Mudgee Dragons.

Orange Hawks fall short against Bathurst Panthers Bathurst Panthers walked away with two points from Orange a�er defea�ng a brave Hawks side 19-12 at Wade Park on Sunday.

Despite improving on the performance from the last �me these two sides met, the Hawks s�ll fell short of producing an upset in round nine. But in this �ght arm-wrestle, the Panthers eventually found that extra quality to push them ahead by seven points and claim victory.

The Hawks will need to regain their focus ahead of next round’s tricky clash with St Pat’s in Bathurst.

Central West Premier League Hockey Women’s Division: Orange United take down CYMS 4-3 in derby On Saturday a�ernoon, Orange United clinched a 4-3 win over CYMS in a thrilling local derby at the Orange Hockey Complex.

It’s United’s second victory of the campaign, which sees them jump into fourth place in the standings. But despite the spirited and improved performance, CYMS s�ll sit in last place with zero points.

Resilient Emus overcome gritty Dubbo Roos — IMAGES BY HENRY DEROOY — Orange Emus edged out a tough 36-29 victory over Dubbo Roos on Saturday at Endeavour Oval in round eight.

While the Roos were missing some key players, the visitors still fought against an Emus side who ran rampant in their previous dominant win against the Platypi before the long weekend. But the Emus attack still found a way to produce the extra quality in tight situations and run home with the crucial victory.

Tiny Tee-ball reps impress in U/10s State Championship The Orange Tee-ball U/10s representative girls and boys teams put in an impressive display at last month’s NSW State Championships in Blacktown.

Despite three postponements due to COVID and wet weather, the State Tee-ball tournament finally took place (two months late) at Olympic Park.

Regardless of the delay, the Colour City’s U/10s Rep teams put on fantastic performances that caused a few surprises for rival teams from across the state. About seven to eight teams competed in the U/10s girls and boys divisions.

President of the Orange District Softball Association (ODSA), Geoff Kelly, said he couldn’t be prouder of the teams’ efforts throughout the

tournament.

“I, and the rest of the ODSA, are proud of how both sides played. It was also great to see that they all enjoyed themselves during this experience. The players came home worn-out, proving that they couldn’t put any more effort in their games,” Geoff said.

In dramatic circumstances, the girls' team finished third in the State Championship.

Coached by Randi Birkin and Maddie Lisle, the girls put on an entertaining spectacle for the crowd in their two-hour marathon semi-final.

Geoff explains how the girls' side went down to the wire in their 38-36 battle, as they were just two points away from securing a spot in the grand final.

“Tee-ball is normally an hourlong game, but the U/10s girls played a semi-final game that lasted two hours. Because both teams were batting well and finished 18-all after regular time, this is why the game kept going into a tie-breaker. The opposition clinched the victory in the end, but our girls' team gave it their all in this highscoring affair.”

The U/10s boys representative team, coached by Steve Underwood, claimed fifth place in the tournament. They had a strong start in their group after stringing a couple of solid wins but then lost several games by slim margins that prevented them from reaching the finals play-off.

“After a great start, our U/10s boys' side lost several games by fine margins during some

close encounters. But it was positive to see that they were competitive in every fixture,” said Geoff.

According to Geoff, these current U/10s girls and boys Rep teams probably had one of the most successful runs to date in any state tee-ball events.

“These two rep sides, produced some of their best achievements in Blacktown, especially the girls who qualified for the play-offs to gain a spot

JUNE 23 — 29, 2022

in the grand final. The boys have always been competitive at this level, so it's great to see that consistency in their performances.”

Orange will also host a State Tee-Ball Championship in November which will provide the opportunity for many of these talented U/10s players, who recently shone at the tournament in Sydney, to try out for the U/12s team.

Orange off to good Astley Cup with win over Bathurst It’s one of Australia’s great school sports competitions, and Orange High is looking good coming out on top of Bathurst in the first round of the Astley Cup competition last week.

The Astley Cup is a long-standing sporting competition between Bathurst High, Orange High, and Dubbo Senior College.

Orange last week hosted Bathurst sides and supporters for the round-robin competition, but head off to Dubbo this week to take on the current Cup holders.

Conceived in Dubbo in 1923, the Astley Cup incorporates the three schools competing in a series of team and individual sports and also incorporates a debating competition, the coveted Mulvey Cup. Games involve eight sports: athletics and tennis, which are mixed teams; girls netball, hockey and soccer; and boys rugby league, basketball, and soccer.

In the competition’s early days, rugby union took the place of rugby league, with girls soccer having, in recent years, replaced softball.

The Cup, children from many local families of which have competed in the fourth and fifth generation, also ran for years as a billeted competition with players staying overnight in the host city with a disco held between the schools.

The point scoring system is also unusual. Each sport is worth 100 points and the tie-winner becomes the team with the most points. To win, a team has to win both ties. With draws, the points go to the school with the most points.

The event has only been cancelled twice, once in 1940 during the height of World War II, and in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdowns.

In the rugby league game last Friday at Wade Park, the stands were full of spectators from both schools cheering excitedly as the game progressed.

The Orange high students sang their famous “We’re the Barmy Army” chant after each local try, while the Bathurst High students team song was a bowdlerised and highly-amusing version of Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” sung to the words of “Sweet Bathurst High”.

As the game developed, it was the Orange High song that got the best workout, particularly in their dominant first half.

Despite scoring in the first few minutes from an Orange High mistake, the superior size and speed of the Orange team, saw them jump to a 24-4 lead just before half-time, with Bathurst coming back to lose by only 30-20 in the final score.

Orange did well in all sports without dominating in any, doing just enough to pip the Bathurst team in overall points.

In overall competition, for the first round, Orange defeated Bathurst narrowly on Friday by a waferthin 407-393 margin.

A

new football club has emerged in Orange, and it isn't your typical competitive league side.

“Dog FC” is a friendly and non-league football club that plays in its own “Safe Soccer” environment, serving as an alternative to the competitive and physical nature found in most local formal competitions.

The founder of Dog FC is Michael Lewis, co-president of the local referee’s association and a member of the ODFA committee. Michael said this unique football project has been floating around in his head for quite some time, and it really started taking shape after last year's COVID lockdown.

“I have been thinking about starting

my own initiative for a couple of years, but I wanted to start up a unique project. I owned the ‘dogfc. com’ domain and thought no one would dislike that name. So from this, I ended up creating the club logo and designing the team kits; something that is friendly and isn’t serious,” Michael said.

fun and friendly environment where there are fewer challenges. It also eliminates the emphasis on winning or being competitive, fitting in with Dog FC’s “Playing before Winning” motto.

“As I was getting older and seeing lots of my friends retire due to the fear of injury, I sort of just had this image of, well, what if we played football for fun rather than competing on a league basis? What if we all turned up, grabbed some shirts, and just played.”

But for Michael, securing a fundraising deal with “Seeing Eye Dogs” of Vision Australia is one of the most worthy achievements of the club.

This unorthodox project intends to provide senior and new adult footballers with a platform to play in a

Following its creation, Dog FC struck a sponsorship deal with local “Diesel & Blue Doggie Daycare” to maintain their club mascot theme.

“One of the things I'm most proud of, is we've got a tie-up with Seeing Eye Dogs of Vision Australia. We approached them and said we'd do some fundraising for them if they

aren’t free to play football on Saturdays. On matchdays, we like to mix things up with the teams and switch players to keep it interesting. One week you can be a dog, and the next you can be a cat,” Michael added.

The rise of Dog FC also saw the birth of “Cat FC”, an affiliated team that plays in the “Safe Soccer” competition every Friday evening. These teams together have attracted local players from the open men's and women's competitions, offering them a relaxed and friendlier version of the game.

With Dog FC still in its infantry, this project is already gaining traction in the area. But for a non-league side, this club’s eye for detail in the social media sphere and jersey design is taking Orange’s footballing community by storm.

“This new format also provides an opportunity for people who

Cadia

The Cadia copper mine was a hive of activity at various times in the late 19th and ea rly 20th centuries.

Many of the early miners came from either Cornwall or Wales, bringing specialise d skills from those traditio nal mining areas.

This week ’s photo shows the village wh ich at one stage housed ab out 600 people. Th er e was a general store, hotel , bakery, post office , bu tcher, shoemaker, school and a cemetery.

Besides copper, the mine later produced gold and finally iron or e before closing in the 1940s.

The site is now bein g mined for gold at Newcrest Minin g’s two underground mines .

CROSS purposes WITH GREG BLANCH

Finding Meaning in Life

What is the purpose of life? We have been trying to find answers to this question ever since… well, ever since “ever”.

If we are just an outcome of evolutionary chance, a bundle of cells that come to life and then end in death – then any meaning we find in this life, will be fleeting and marked by uncertainty. If the universe is random and purposeless, where can we possibly find purpose and meaning?

Life without purpose feels hopeless. And so we seek to find meaning in good things like trying to make a difference in people’s lives – in family, friends, relationships. This can bring joy, but will always be marked by hurt, disappointment and, in the end, death.

So, if we rule God out of the picture, it will always be difficult to find meaning in a lasting, significant way. But if God does exist, if there is life eternal, then relationships suddenly matter again in a lasting way not destroyed by death. This is why the resurrection of Jesus is so vital. The death and resurrection of Jesus show eternity is real, and that Jesus is the one who can give it to us.

Thumbs up to Bensons Cafe for their great service and friendly and caring manner from all staff. Also, great food and — although I’m in my 70’s — I love the venue and the music!

Thumbs up to Mandy at Orange Telstra. Her customer service is great, and she sorted out my rather complicated problem to my satisfaction with both patience and skill.

Thumbs up to the woman who was so kind as to stop when she saw me trip over after getting out of the taxi in Hill Street. I called out to the taxi driver, but he didn’t hear me. The woman pulled up, parked her car, and came across to see if I was alright. She picked up my water bottle and helped me to walk to my chiropractor’s door. I just wanted to give her a “Big Thanks”.

Thumbs down to the drivers who don't stop and give way to pedestrians who are walking on the footpath.

Cars have right of way on the road — pedestrians ALWAYS have right of way on the footpath.

Thumbs up to Dr Williams and the team in Emergency at Orange Health Service. Their dedication and care are wonderful. The subsequent explorations undertaken by this wonderful doctor and the care of his team, as well as support from various other areas of the hospital, resulted in the most wonderful stay of kindness and care. The tests undertaken, discovered ongoing issues which will require ongoing treatment and tests, but without the care and research undertaken I would not be in the positive position I am now in. All the staff, including Medical B and Emergency, were amazing. Thank you all so much!

Thumbs up to Gav, the “leaf blower” working for Orange City Council, who always has Orange’s CBD looking great.

Thumbs down to the state of Winter Street between Ophir and Icely Roads. It is full of potholes and speed bumps.

Thumbs down to a wellknown home-goods store for not accepting cash, only cards. Their response was to “ring Head Office”. People still carry cash, especially for a $4 sale!

Thumbs up to the person who handed in my gift cards, “Return and Earn” vouchers and more to the staff at Rivers. It really made my day!

Thumbs down to the person who gave the “thumbs down” to people complaining about abandoned shopping trolleys around town. If you “borrow” a trolley, at least have the decency to return it to the supermarket.

Thumbs down to one well-known food delivery service for not being able to effectively deliver to local people in regional towns without ripping them off. I waited on Sunday for one hour for my order. Not happy, Jan! Thumbs down to the taxi driver in the cab I caught last week who was not wearing a mask because “he doesn’t believe in them”.

Thumbs up to Trish at the Iris Patch for showing such compassion and generosity recently.

I had purchased an item and, on returning home, it accidentally fell from the seat of the car when I opened the car door and broke. I returned to the store to purchase another, only to be told by Trish, that there was no charge! You truly understood the reason behind this purchase, and your thoughtfulness and compassion were greatly appreciated.

Thumbs down to the local coffee shop which recently did not allow a patron to wait inside for her coffee, despite the freezing weather.

Thumbs down to a local NBN provider and their contractors. My NBN was recently either down or persistently dropping in and out. The provider had a technician booked in to try and fix the problem, however the technician didn’t show up. And he hasn’t shown up today. Talk about terrible service. Think about the people who actually have to do stuff out of their homes.

Thumbs down to the supermarket customer who gave me COVID! Just because you may think COVID is over, it is not. Just because you don’t need to wear a mask, does not mean that you no longer have to cover your mouth when you sneeze as you walk past someone.

Thumbs up to the installation of the golden orbs in Robertson Park and surrounds. They are such a surprise and so uplifting on a grey, Orange day. Beautiful!

Thumbs down to Orange City Council for not keeping Orange a “Tidy Town” for several years.

That used to be a major reason for the city to be both congratulated and proud. Now, we notice too many streets with nothing but rubbish in their socalled “gardens”. When my subdivision was developed, there were covenants after covenant. I don’t know what became of them.

Thumbs up to Nicole on Level 3 at Orange Private Hospital. You are helpful, caring, and polite to patients and their families whilst they are in your hospital.

Thumbs down to Orange City Council for the over-priced big, gold, pointless, balls around Robertson Park. I’m glad my rates are going towards this, instead of to fix our roads (NOT!) ... it's an absolutely horrendous way of using taxpayers’ money.

Thumbs up to Dr Moe at the Wellness House for being so understanding and passionate about his work and patients.

Thumbs up and a big “thank you” to the everreliable Michael at “My Car” for helping me out with a flat battery recently. You are a credit to the garage. Many thanks again for your prompt friendly service.

Thumbs down to the man at a drive-through bottle shop who said, “I don’t !*****%! know,” when I asked him where the red wine was!
