I took the opportunity to pop over to the Bathurst Remembers WWII exhibition on the weekend — what an incredible amount of research and work went into it. A great exhibit of amazing photographs and curator Alan McRae from the Bathurst District Historical Society and all involved deserve to be praised for their efforts. Sadly, I had less time than I would have liked to take it all in as I was busy chasing two boys eager to take charge of the Bofors anti-aircraft gun on display!Ourcommunity diary is back in this edition! Apologies to anyone who has been looking for it these past couple of weeks. We’ve just had to juggle a few things on the layout close to our deadline and the diary had to be cut to make room. Remember: If you are a community group or club that would like to be included in our (usually) weekly diary, please get in touch. While the diary is back, unfortunately our sports reporter Anthony has been sick this past week and so we are missing his weekly sports wrap-up. Inside you will still find some great sports shots from the weekend’s netball, plus the Orange CYMS match in Dubbo, courtesy of Dubbo Photo News. So, who’s ready for spring? I don’t know if it is just all the rain we’ve had, forcing us to spend a bit more time indoors, but this winter has felt long. I, for one, am very much looking forward to some warmer weather.

My sister was helping out, and she said, ‘why don’t you go ahead and volunteer at the Sydney shelter?’ and I got a job after twoSheweeks.”saidthat her work offers her a glimpse of the full range of human character, both good and bad, but the work is still worth it.
“This occurs when you can only continue to have one breed that is derived pure from a single“Genetically,stock. you’re not getting a robust animal — for overall health, that is more guaranteed with a crossbreed,” Deanna said.
“You have breathing problems with pugs and French bulldogs, many are prone to skin complaints… you must remember, most of these breeds originally came from a single dog.” Dogs that are bred with other breeds, however enjoy, what is called in genetics, “hybrid vigour”, with the general health of the animal often better than that for both its pedigree parents, especially those the result of so-called “line-breeding”.

It was then that her lifelong love of animals offered a new career in an area she was passionate about, after a chance few weeks helping-out “I’d always rescued little birds as a child and tried to raise them, I always loved animals.
“Sometimes, it feels like the worst side of human nature. “Still, we’re moving forward for the animals and, at the end of the day, that’s the most important thing,” Deanna concluded.

ecently appointed shelter manager, Deanna Douglas isn’t sure whether this is due to the sudden appeal of thousands-of-dollars blended breeds such as “cavoodles” and “labradoodles”, or to people getting back to their old lives after so long quarantining at home. “I guess it all depends, these are expensive dogs to purchase, so people are obviously prepared to pay it, rather than adopt a stray,” the two-decade RSPCA veteran said. “It’s definitely happening though, we don’t know whether it’s a post-COVID thing, but we’ve had an influx of dogs for adoption and pretty much, people are not that interested,” she added. Having relocated to the Orange shelter from the Central Coast, she said that the trend appeared to be fairly consistent throughout NSW for the respected 150-year-old animal rescue and rehoming service. “I’ve talked to colleagues from around the State, and they’re saying the same thing. “It’s not just us here that it’s happening to, either, it’s everywhere, which is quite sad,” the lifelong animal lover said. The local shelter now has more than twodozen dogs looking for a kind owner, a new home, and a second chance at life, with under 10 cats in the same situation. “They’re mostly the less-popular larger breeds, staffy (Staffordshire Terrier) crosses and mastiff (Bull Mastiff) crosses, adoptions have very much slowed down. “It’s also happened to the cat adoptions, up to a point, but not as much as the dogs,” she said. Fears of adopted animals being resurrendered by owners after returning to work, hasn’t, thankfully, eventuated “We were expecting that, people who had adopted during lockdown, and now didn’t want the animals. “But we haven’t actually had a lot of those, one or two maybe over the past months, that’s about it,” Deanna said. Most animals presenting at the shelter are for people whose circumstances have changed or have moved address and no longer felt the animal fitted their new situation. “That’s down to the level of individual responsibility, I suppose; how they view the animal. “Is it a member of the family, or just something, like an object that they possess, and no longer need?” she said. She said that, while currently-popular breeds are fetching thousands on the market, there are distinct advantages with a goodold, crossbred animal. “You see on social media which breeds are popular, but many of these have inherent health issues to do with their particular features.

— DAVID DIXON — Adoption rates for stray “rescue” dogs have plummeted at the local RSPCA animal shelter since the end of the pandemic lockdowns late last year.
The local RSPCA shelter also last Sunday held its “Bake a Difference” Cupcake Day, one of its major fundraising events for the year. With almost all its funding coming from donations and for its services, Deanna is one of those committed individuals for whom the organisation is a vocation, rather than a job.

“It’s going to be our first shop outside of Sydney, and we are very excited about Orange. The region is experiencing an exponential amount of growth, and we look forward to providing the community with the perfect Italian experience to assist in what Orange is becoming.”TheOrange restaurant will offer Pellegrini’s full menu — a fusion of classic Italian dishes including their famous wood-fired pizzas — using only fresh and locally sourced ingredients. In another innovative touch for the Colour City, Pellegrini’s will be open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
LAUNCH DATE NOW SET FOR PELLEGRINI’S ITALIAN
Located in the refurbished Village of Summer Street — formerly known as the Summer Centre — it will be their third restaurant and first regional location for the much-loved Sydney-based Italian brand. Pellegrini’s promises to bring a balance between high-end dining and casual eating, with an array of classic Italian dishes, all with an Australian twist.
Orange has just one more week to wait until they get the opportunity to taste Pellegrini’s Italian’s famous “one-metre wood-fired pizzas” with the launching of their new restaurant next Friday, August 26.
With two existing restaurants in the Sydney suburbs of Chatswood and Kirrawee, owner Jeet Samra and general manager Giovanni Convertino, said it was Orange’s booming food and wine culture that led them to launch their first regional restaurant in the Colour City. “We came in 2021 in June, just before the second lockdown, and we loved Orange and said to each other of its potential. We really saw and felt just how big the food and wine culture is here, and noticed a good opportunity for Pellegrini’s to fit in with the vibe,” Giovanni said.

Veterans Day commemorative service is at the Cenotaph in Robertson Park from 11am on Thursday, August 18, all residents welcome to attend It was the rejection by the World War I and II veterans who they looked to for support, that left the most bitter tears. The Vietnam Veteran’s Day Commemorative Service to be conducted at the Cenotaph in Robertson Park from 11am this Thursday, August 18 is held with the full support of the local RSL subbranch.National Serviceman and Vietnam veteran, Lindsay Wright recalls a different time, when he and a group of fellow returned diggers were refused entry to one of Sydney’s largest RSL Clubs. “That’s one of the kick in the guts that we received,” the lifetime local and head of the Orange Vietnam Veterans group, said. Those days are now thankfully gone, with Lindsay proudly laying a wreath on behalf of the Vietnam Veterans at this year’s VP DayThirty-ficommemorations.veyearssince the first Welcome Home Parade — the belated national thanks for their service to their country — Vietnam Veterans are now proud members of the Defence community. “We now have good representation on the RSL. Once upon a time, we were badly treated but we get on well with the oldies now,” the past president of the local RSL, said.Even though in the Service Corp at the Australian bush-base at Nui Dat in the former Phuoc Tuy province of South Vietnam, he still saw plenty of action both in the camp and on patrols. He said that the “That’s not a war, this is a war” attitude of many old-timers upon their return, left a nasty taste. “To say it wasn’t a real war, when you had bullets flying around your head, it certainly felt real enough,” the conscripted soldier said.He believes that the support offered to returned Vietnam veterans, the first group of returned servicemen and women for whom post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) was a recognised condition, may have irked some older veterans.
Themost.Vietnam
“Many of our guys got pensions, and the older vets must have thought, ‘why them, and not us?’ because the condition wasn’t really recognised until then,” he said. Many who went to Vietnam were, like Lindsay, conscripts drafted at 18 or 19 at a time when the voting age was still 21, but they received no welcome home parades, as with former and subsequent wars that Australia has been involved in. He said that the first belated Welcome Home parades — inspired by comparable events in the United States where returned veterans had received similar off-hand treatment — was the beginning of a new appreciation by Australians of their sacrifices.“Thefirst parade in 1987 was the turning point, I knew a lot of Vietnam veterans who didn’t even attend Anzac Day until then, that’s how bitter they were,” he said.

ENDEDCONTROVERSYANDPROTESTOURLASTASIANWAR
This year’s Vietnam Veteran’s Day commemorations, mark 50 years since the end of Australia’s active involvement in the war in south-east Asia.
National Serviceman and Vietnam veteran, Lindsay Wright: “The first parade in 1987 was the turning point.”
Following the immediate cessation of national service by the Whitlam Government, it was announced on January 11, 1973, that Australian combat operations in Vietnam had ended, although some soldiers remained behind to guard the embassy in Saigon until the beginning of July. A total of 60,000 Australians had served in Vietnam with 521 killed and 3000 wounded, of which nearly half were conscripts (“Nashos”). Vietnam was the first war in which our major parties differed in an essential way, the Liberal-Country Party Coalition Government was, in the words of Prime Minister, Harold Holt “All the Way with LBJ” (US President, Lyndon Baines Johnson).Manymembers of the Labor opposition were not only opposed to the war, but expressed support for the North Vietnamese army and Guerrilla forces, the Vietcong, who the Australians were fighting.TheWhitlam Government formed diplomatic relations with North Vietnam, a communist country with strong ties to both China and the Soviet Union, only weeks after the last Australian combat troops left the country. The final defeat of the South by the military might of the North Vietnamese in April 1975, to loud cheers from many on the left, left many vets with the sense that their sacrifice had been in vain. Veterans-inspired “Welcome Home” parades in the United States in the mid1980s, saw similar events in Australia, which for many veterans, began a long journey of healing from our most contentious war.
While commemorations marking the leaving of the last Australian troops will be held in January next year, the election of the Nixon administration in 1968 in America, was the death knell for US support for the war. Both Australia and the United States then began a process of “Vietnamization”, handing over training and military assets to the South Vietnamese Army, which was already only barely holding back its North Vietnamese enemy with the aid of huge American air support. Election of the Whitlam Labor Government in Australia in December 1972, saw the immediate end of conscription with television reports from the time showing conscripts signing out of camps such as at Holsworthy Army Base in south-west Sydney, to the sounds of Peter, Paul and Mary’s famous love song, Leaving on a Jet Plane.
You can use your PARENTS VOUCHERS
While announcement of the last Australia troops being withdrawn was in January 1973, by mid-1972, all combat operations had effectively ceased for the Australians who had entered the war at America’s behest in 1965.
Eliza Kingham and Liam Leahey from Orange High School performed a number of songs and poems as well, including “The Fuzzy Wuzzy Angels”, written by Sapper H “Bert” Beros while on the Kokoda Track fighting the Japanese invasion of New Guinea.
A brave, hardy band of locals defied biting winter winds on Monday to commemorate VP Day (Victory in the Pacific) in Orange.
Also known as VJ Day, the event this year marked the 77th anniversary of the ending of World War II on August 15 when the Imperial Japanese forces finally surrendered to the Allies.
Speaking at the commemoration, the Reverend Gary Neville, said that the event was an important recognition of the sacrifice made by previous generations for the peace that we now enjoy.
Representatives of Legacy, the Naval Association, and the Vietnam Veterans also participated in the event.

Your pet’s dental hygiene is much more important than just getting rid of “dog’s breath”. Dental disease affects as many as 8 out of 10 pets – it’s often hidden, but can have serious effects on the overall health of your pet. Dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs need regular dental check ups to look for signs of dental disease, and save them from the pain of bad teeth. Pet dental disease is caused by food particles and bacteria building up around the teeth, just as in humans. This irritates the gums and eventually the tooth’s attachments start to break down and dental disease becomes irreversible. This means pain, loss of teeth, trouble feeding and affects your pet’s entire health. There are well known links between pet dental disease, and pet kidney and heart disease. So if we can pick up on dental disease early, we can plan to prevent further damage to your pet’s teeth and health. Your pet will benefit from a regular dental check up. If he or she needs treatment, a gentle anaesthetic is given, allowing the vet to clean the teeth thoroughly without causing any stress to your pet. If dental disease has developed, the tooth and roots can be checked with our state of the art digital Xray system. This month, your pet can have a FREE dental check up with one of our friendly vets, plus $50 off any dental treatment. Feeding your pet a good quality diet can make a big difference. We stock several pet foods for dogs and cats which are formulated to support your pet’s dental health and work to reduce plaque, stains and tartar build up. The shaped kibble cleans the plaque from your pet’s teeth every time they chew, working like a toothbrush to scrub teeth clean. Reducing plaque on your pet’s teeth actively reduces bad breath too. Rabbits and guinea pigs have teeth which continue to grow - they need good quality hay, fresh grass and a high fibre diet to keep their teeth in great shape. Ask the team about which Dental pet food is best for your pet! Try rewarding your dog or cat with dental treats which can help to clean teeth as your pet enjoys chewing. Delicate Care dental treats for dogs or Greenies Feline for cats will be a delicious snack. We have a well stocked reception area where you can buy quality pet foods for dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, as well as other pet supplies. Most important, you’ll find friendly personal advice for all aspects of your pet’s welfare. Give your pet something to smile about in August with the wonderful special offers at Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital.
The Orange Grove men’s shed group framed and hung the mural last week, which was officially opened by local Wiradjuri elder, Uncle Neil Ingram. “It is just a beautiful story that they put there. What I love about it is that it’s right there at reception for all to see,” Uncle Neil said, adding that recognition and acceptance of local Indigenous culture has come a long way since he first arrived in Orange from Condobolin 40 years ago. “[I] would never have dreamed of this happening. But it is beautiful how we all are starting to embrace our culture with respect… and that’s what it’s all about, in the spirit of reconciliation. So it makes me happy.”
Now hanging proudly in the reception of Orange Grove Care Community is a residentcreated multipanel mural celebrating the aged-care facility’s place in Wiradjuri Country.
Work on the mural project began during NAIDOC Week (July 3–10) and was a collaborative effort between residents from all three wings at Orange Grove, said Lifestyle Coordinator, Jane Tonks. “Various residents have painted a panel each, or some people have worked on a panel together, over a number of weeks,” Jane said. “Including two residents that are 100 years young!”Mount Canobolas — ghaana-bula in Wiradjuri — is a central feature of the mural, as are the three rivers the Lachlan or Kalare, the Macquarie or Wambool, and the Murrumbidgee or Marrmabidya. We’ve also got animals that can be found in the area, such as echidna, emu, platypus wombat, kangaroos, and goanna,” Jane said. “And down the side of the mural, the symbolism there is people coming together on their journeys… it’s about a story of journey; we’ve all come here from different journeys in life, but we’ve all ended up in this place, Orange Grove Care Community on Wiradjuri land.”

Have you looked in your pet’s mouth recently?
With few countries honouring service in a time of war as solemnly as Australians, Kate hopes that the Torch Relay grabs a hold on the local imagination. “It’s really going to involve the whole community, everyone got such a thrill from the Olympic Torch Relay, we want to replicate that sense of coming together,” Kate said. The Legacy Centenary Torch Relay is being presented by Defence Health and starts near the French village of Pozieres — site of the bitter 1916 battle at which the promise was made to the dying Digger by his friend — on Anzac Day 2023. The torch then travels to London reaching Western Australia in May. Orange will be one of only 19 NSW locations to host the Relay. While the route and schedule for the event have not been released, the local Legacy group, which now covers most of western NSW, are already making plans to commemorate the arrival of the Relay. “We’ll have a special reception at Legacy House, and we’re hoping to get a public speaker for the occasion. “It’ll be a big event, though it will be in July, but we can’t help that, that’s just the time we were allocated,” Kate smiled.
Have DetailsfoundyouPinny"?page48
With limited numbers of people who can be torch bearers and restrictions on who can apply, now’s the time to get your application in on the: www.legacytorchrelay.com.au site, she“Ouradded.stretch will be about seven kilometres, so my advice is, get in now, get on that site, and put in an application,” she said. “To be involved, you have to be part of the Legacy family, however —wards, Legacy children, widows — or part of the Defence community,” she explained. Legacy is one of those special not-for-profits (charities) for whom their good work in the community is immediately apparent. Their symbol is a burning torch that signifies the undying flame of service and sacrifice of those who gave their lives for their country. Legacy, even now, looks after 40,000 widows and their families with hundreds of mothers and children in western NSW still supported by the group. “We had a local child whose father died in World War II, we supported his education and now he’s a doctor… actually, there’s two locals in that “There’ssituation.anumber of children whose education we are supporting.”
Orange Legacy President, Kate Hazelton with the Legacy Centenary Torch Relay baton. Get in now, if you want to be involved.
Many locals fondly remember the Sydney Olympic Torch Relay coming through the Colour City in mid-2000 when — for a moment — we had the eyes of the world. Orange Legacy President, Kate Hazelton wants to replicate that sense of community celebration and purpose, but for a far more important cause. The Colour City in 2023 will host part of the 55,000km torch relay celebrating Legacy’s 100th anniversary. This uniquely-Australian organisation started with a promise by a mate to a dying Digger in the trenches of the Western Front, to look after his family and kids, if he survived theFoundedwar. in Melbourne in 1923 to support the widows and children of men who died in World War I, the group continues to do good work in the community for those Aussies directly impacted by the fight for freedom. “Lots of clubs are interested in this,” Kate, herself a survivor of war, said excitedly of the Relay. “We don’t know the exact route at this stage, but it will be going through towns including Goulburn, Orange, Forbes, Cowra, Wagga Wagga, and then on to Melbourne.”

Perched 1000 metres above sea level on the foothills of Mount Canobolas, Borrodell is unique among local wine businesses in the diversity of its offering. Along with wine tasting and sales, at Borrodell you will find fine dining with vineyard views at the world-class Sisters Rock restaurant, an in-demand wedding and function venue, both luxury and family-friendly accommodation, and now, one of the most picturesque licensed venues in CompletedOrange.justlast year, Borrodell’s SkyBar commands one of the best views in the district and floor-to-ceiling glass windows on three sides make the most of“Theit. view here is just magic,” Borrodell owner Gaye Stuart-Nairne said while gesturing out at the manicured restaurant lawn, apple orchard, and pinot noir vines sloping away to the east. “This is our hidden treasure; our view, not that other people don’t have lovely views, they have, but it is a real feature here ” It was in the late ‘90s, when Gaye and her husband, the late Borry Gartrell, saw there was going to be a future in making good-quality wine in Orange. Deciding to go “all in” five years later, they converted their home into the restaurant, Sisters Rock, which continues to be one of the most sought-after dinner reservations for visitors and locals alike. The SkyBar, their most recent expansion, was a result of ever-growing competition for space; the bucolic setting having seen Borrodell become a popular wedding venue. “And so there came a time when we said, this really isn’t working. We decided we needed another designated space,” Gaye said. The SkyBar operates as the Borrodell tasting room from 11am to 3pm (bookings essential) but it’s also open to anyone who simply wants to grab a glass of wine and take in the view. And, just as Sister’s Rock restaurant has long focused on showcasing local produce, the SkyBar also only stocks locally produced beer and spirits, along with Borrodell wines. It’s been a popular addition with both visitors and locals, Gaye said, and already bookings are filling up for Christmas parties and other end-of-year functions.
“We’re now getting a lot more local groups coming up on Sunday afternoons.. meet at Borrodell, have a catch-up and a glass of bubbles,” she said. “We’re a tasting room and we do wine tastings until 3pm, but we enjoy it when people come here and just want to have a good “Orangetime.isso beautiful, it attracts so many people from Sydney, but we would like our locals to appreciate that they can come, have a drink and enjoy what Orange has to offer.”

Inflation for basic food stuffs, and referrals to those battling under financial stress from other agencies, has put the volunteer group under the pump, Ms Ruse said.
ncouraging struggling locals to eat more fresh food and vegetables, is one of the key aims of FoodCare Orange.

“We had a meeting yesterday, and our numbers have gone up significantly in recent weeks, the price of food is going up also. “Absolutely, inflation has definitely put pressure on a lot of people... we receive no government funding and we provide fresh fruit and veggies for free,” she said. With much of their non-perishable goods — nappies, cleaning products, coffee, tea, and canned food — provided by a major food bank supplier in Sydney, these are popular items they are generally always well stocked.“Weoffer these items at a discounted price, usually heavily discounted, say, a $10 jar of coffee at Aldi, is $2 from us. “We also purchase things like milk and other dairy and eggs, and only sell these at cost price,” Ms Ruse added. Local supermarkets, she added, are generous suppliers of other staples that most of us take for granted. “We always have fresh bread and pastries from the bakery at places like Coles, we collect from the supermarkets for food about to come off the shelves. “But they’re not out of date, they’ve often got a week still left on them before their expiry,” she Volunteersemphasised.forthegroup are also not in short supply, with six on hand for each of their three opening days a week to staff the mini-mart facility. “Each team works for four hours once a fortnight, so that we don’t burn them out, but that they still get to know each other, to feelProvidingconnected.”freefruit and vegetables for clients — after only a nominal spend on each visit to the store — the charity recently hit on a great way to enlist local green thumbs to provide regular fruit and veg to their worthwhile cause. “One of the things we’re looking at, is asking home gardeners to grow stuff for us in their home gardens “We’re going to call it ‘Social Harvest’,” Ms RuseWhileexplained.manylocal producers already generously provide fresh foodstuffs to the group, this can create a “feast or famine” effect.“We get donations of beautiful pumpkins and potatoes in winter, in summer, almost everything!“Someone will come in and say, ‘I’ve got a truckload of lemons’, or ‘spinach’, or ‘I’ve got a ute-load of potatoes’ which is wonderful, but it makes planning very difficult,” she explained.Theaim, therefore, of “Social Harvest” is to ensure a relatively steady stream of essential fruits and vegetables throughout the“Weyear.plan to launch in the next few weeks, to ask people to plant for us. “This will give us a bit more control over when and where we can expect certain veggies,” she added. Although committed supporters of their work, changes to how local supermarkets themselves are seeking to reduce waste, is also starting to impact their level of provisions to FoodCare, Ms Ruse added. “Woolies’ own commitment to sustainable practices, mean that they are now throwing out less than they once did. “This means that there is less fruit and vegetables being donated to us.” To make up this shortfall, a local buyer is now purchasing increasing amounts of fresh foodstuffs for FoodCare, adding to costs. “We’re now buying a lot of our stuff from the Sydney Markets, but we’re giving it to our clients for free, if they spend a minimum of $8 in the shop,” Ms Ruse — herself a descendant of one of Australia’s pioneering farmers, James Ruse — said. “Because of health regulations, we can’t take eggs from home growers... but people can call this number (m. 0447 577 884) if they’ve got something,” she concluded.

LOCAL GREEN THUMBS WANTED for FoodCare’s “Social Harvest”
The group is about to launch a campaign called “Social Harvest” to enlist local gardeners to help grow vital produce that they then give away to their clients at their March St store. The local not-for-profit “food bank” has seen a rush of new customers following the re-emergence of COVID-19, as many of those infected by the pandemic, lack the finances or family connections to keep them supplied during quarantine. “Our numbers have been going up, possibly because the incidents of COVID in Orange are quite high,” spokesperson, Alex Ruse“Becausesaid. we offer free home deliveries, and many of our clients do not have the money to get a Woolies or Coles delivery, or the social contacts for others to deliver to them, we support them by delivering food for nothing,” she added.

Shoppers entering the Orange City Centre via the car park travelator are being greeted by a colourful new art installation. Suspended from the Centre roof, are more than 100 paper parasols decorated by students from Orange Public School — a collaboration through the Centre’s “Our Orange, Our Schools Art Program”. “We thoroughly enjoy working with local schools to showcase artworks in the Centre that reflects the creativity and talent of the young students,” Orange City Centre manager, Nicole Chapman said. “Orange Public School have put together a beautiful display that depicts the changing seasons of Orange and have highlighted what they love about our town.” The Orange City Centre supplied the paper parasols to Orange Public School, and then it was up to them to use their imaginations and come up with something spectacular.“Andthatthey did!” Nicole said. “To celebrate, we invited the students to a morning tea to show our thanks. “The kids had many questions about how they were installed and enjoyed the outing.” You will find the artwork hanging above the travelator until the end of October.

There’s always a fire-pit for unknown reasons considering most of these shows take place in Arizona and California, and it always ends with a party and platters of watermelon. I’ve never enjoyed reality TV before, but this is simply joyous to watch. After all the garbage of the reality we’ve lived through the last few years, it’s lovely to relax in front of something light and fun. But I hadn’t realised the girls had picked up my addiction. I ask Miss Eight why she has chosen this particular career path. “I like praise, and I’d do a much better job than these people,” she says, pointing at the hardworking team on the TV. “And, listen carefully – I NEED a sledgehammer. They look like SO much We’vefun.”added a sledgehammer to the list of things she desperately wants, but we’re in no way game to buy her.

Christmas comes early for Ladies Probus Club members
Christmas came early for the Ladies Probus Club of Orange North, who recently celebrated “Christmas in July” at Tommy’s Montrose House, Canowindra. In a beautifully decorated room, the ladies enjoyed a traditional three-course Christmas Lunch, complete with all the trimmings.
Miss 13 also plans on becoming an interior designer when she grows up, and if her house building in the SIMS is anything to go by, she’s certainly got a knack for it. However it’s elective choice week for Year Nine next year, and we’re torn between letting her choose the design subject she wants, and an academic subject that will give her a broader learning base. It strikes me, not for the first time, that parenting a wild eight-year-old is still a breeze compared to parenting a teenager. I read recently that the parenting of teens is so hard because the majority of the parenting is done in their early years, and then you just need to trust yourself that you’ve laid the right foundations and they’ll be okay. As an over-thinker, this is very challenging! We negotiate one “fun” subject and one “future career” one. I begin to wonder if maybe I can be an interior designer when I grow up too. Miss Eight announces she’ll choose Maths, Choir, Dance, and Woodwork for Year Three next year and we have to gently explain that she doesn’t get a choice in primary school. She takes this news reasonably well, and hubby lets her know that they can do some woodwork together at home. Over the next hour, they build a backing board to reinforce the cube storage in her room and she’s already mastered the drill. We add “my own zooming drill gun thing” to the list of ladders, a sledgehammer, and a golf cart that she NEEDS, and enjoy the fact the cube storage no longer leans over so far it becomes diamond-ish. We let Miss 13 decide where it should go as she quickly whips her sister’s room into something from an edition of “Country Style” magazine. Whatever the future holds for these girls, we’re confident that they’ll smash it! (Possibly literally for little miss sledgehammer…)
Christmas outfits and Christmas hats were the fashion of the day. Tommy chose the best of these and presented the lucky ladies with a lovely “Christmas” gift. There was much laughter and everyone enjoyed the day.

The men and women who served in Vietnam did so because our country asked them to and they acquitted themselves with distinction. My uncle was a proud National Serviceman or “Nasho” who served at Nui Dat in 1967. On Vietnam Veterans’ Day we pause to remember them and say thank you. Our communities and our country are very grateful for all that our veterans did for us. Lest we forget.
The interim report of The Royal Commission into Defence and Veteran Suicide was released last week.
REMEMBERING THOSE WHO SERVED IN VIETNAM
Last week the Federal Government announced a further $10 million in funding for Indonesia to help fight the threat of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD). Unfortunately the Government still does not seem to be taking the threat seriously enough. Ever since FMD was discovered in Bali, the Government has had to be pushed into action rather than treating the threat with the emergency it deserves. If FMD reaches our shores, the impact on our economy will be more devastating than the COVID-19 outbreak so it needs to be treated with the same level of urgency and priority. We are not seeing this. The Australian Senate has opened an inquiry into the adequacy of Australia’s biosecurity measures in response to FMD. If you would like to make a submission and have your voice heard on the response to FMD you can send it to: Committee Secretary c/o Senate Standing Committees on Rural and Regional Affairs and Transport PO Box 6100 Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 Phone: 02 6277 3511 Email: rrat.sen@aph.gov.au You can also upload your submission on the parliamentary website at FMDBiosecurityRural_and_Regional_Affairs_and_Transport/Parliamentary_Business/Committees/Senate/www.aph.gov.au/
The Royal Commission has received more than 1,900 submissions and heard from 194 witnesses - many who courageously came forward to share very tragic and heartbreaking stories. I am hopeful these contributions, and the evidence I gave, will help bring about positive and meaningful change in the treatment and care of service personnel and their families, both now and for future generations.
The Battle of Long Tan is the most well known of the Australian engagements, there were many others such as Coral and Balmoral.
I hope all Australians now read the report and gain a greater understanding of how crucial it is for our country to resolve these issues.
The Royal Commission has rightly made it crystal clear that it expects reform to be happening now and not delayed until the Commission has concluded. I recently met with the new Veterans Affairs Minister and told him that I wanted him to succeed and that my door was always open. Clearing the claims backlog and sorting out other issues identified by the Royal Commission should be above politics. He’s got a difficult job and he has my support. Our veterans put our country before themselves. It is time our country put our veterans first. As we commemorate Victory in the Pacific Day and Vietnam Veterans’ Day this week, we should reflect on how lucky our country has been to have men and women who, through the generations, have answered the call to defend freedom. To all of our veterans, we offer you our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.
VICTORY IN THE PACIFIC DAY
THE ROYAL COMMISSION INTO DEFENCE AND VETERAN SUICIDE
The report has proven to be what I had hoped for – it is a watershed moment in the care and treatment of ADF personnel, veterans and their families. It has put in black and white what thousands of our service men and women have been trying to tell us for so long - that once defence personnel hang up their uniform, another battle begins, for support from the society they put their hands up to protect. As of June 2022, more than 62,000 claims had yet to be processed. This backlog is unacceptable, and I stand by what I said in April, when I threatened to resign from cabinet. This is a national disgrace. In the lead up to the last budget, one of the main problems I found when trying to secure funding to fix the compensation claims backlog and other worthwhile initiatives, was that, given the looming election, they were only being looked at in terms of whether there was political advantage in them. I’m still shocked and angered by this! Politics should have absolutely nothing to do with it. Looking after veterans and their families should be at the heart of who we are as a nation.
15 August 1945 marked the end of the Second World War - now known as Victory in the Pacific (VP) Day - and this week we commemorated this special day in Australia’s history. Around 1 million Australians served their country during WWII. Of those, nearly 40,000 lost their lives and many more were wounded or suffered Atinjuries.Milne Bay in New Guinea it was Australians who were the first to repulse and defeat Japanese land forces. They did it again on the Kokoda Track, helping to turn the tide of the war in the Pacific and ensuring the freedom of our country. While VP Day in 1945 was a celebration, bringing an end to the war, it was a bittersweet day for many, remembering loved ones who would never return from the war. I was honoured to lay a wreath at the Orange Cenotaph this year, and to take a moment to remember the selfless service, courage and sacrifice of all those who served our country. Lest we Forget.
NAME: Eva Y Eva is a friendly and enthusiastic Year 8 student at James Sheahan who is always keen to take on new opportunities that come her way. Although she is only in her second year of high school, Eva has already been involved in performing arts ensembles, as a sound technician in a school play, and represented Sheahan in the Kids’ Lit Quiz. One of Eva’s goals at school is to improve her musicianship and learn to play a variety of music. She recently performed at the ‘Sheahan Showcase’ as part of the String, Dance and Guitar ensembles a feat that Eva considers to be among her best achievements at school so far. In addition, she has also been a member of the Environment Group and an avid player in the Chess Club. Despite having many extracurricular activities, one of Eva’s top priorities is to do well in her school subjects. This year she chose Japanese as one of her electives and aims to travel around Japan in the future. Eva defines success as not necessarily being the best in something, but being able to achieve something you can be proud of.
For Eva, the best part about being at Sheahan is the friendship and collaboration with other students, even those in other year groups. She describes Sheahan as a vibrant place where students can have fun together and learn.

Wider footpaths, doubling the number of trees, outdoor dining, and “parklets” are all part of a proposed transformation of Lords Place between Summer and Kite Streets.Theproposal, part of the next stage of Orange City Council’s Future City upgrade of Orange’s CBD, was unveiled by Council lastTheweek.concept plan includes wider footpaths, parklets, and shade structures to create a new public space, including outdoor dining zones that prioritise pedestrians over vehicle traffic.
“In all, approximately 120 seats have been added to the street. This will encourage visitors to the street to spend more time in the precinct to dine or take a break,” the proposal states. Ten of the 16 existing trees would be removed under this proposal, but the three trident maples near the Commonwealth Bank and three ornamental pears near the business outlets, Crema, The Canobolas Hotel, and StarChem, would be retained. To replace removed greenery, additional advanced trees would be planted in their place; a mix of red ash and field maple, all approximately fourmetres tall.
The changes to the street would reduce the available parking spaces from 67 to 44 but the report does flag the possibility of a future multi-storey parking structure being built at the Ophir Car Park.
The total cost of the project will depend on the final designs, but is expected to be jointly funded by Orange City Council and the NSW Government. “There are potentially huge benefits in creating an ‘eat street’ in the heart of our

The challenge, Cr Hamling said, is to get the balance right between the city’s evolving needs and supporting of existing businesses. He is asking that people look over the proposal and tell Council their thoughts. Since releasing the proposal last week, responses online have been mixed. The loss of parking appears to be one of the most prominent concerns, even from those who support the makeover.

Like many people would have done last week, upon the announcement of her passing after heroically battling cancer for nigh on two decades, I Googled “ONJ” to fill in some of the gaps in my knowledge, thinking that by learning a bit more about her I would be paying my respects, rather than listening to endless interviews of strangers standing next to her star on the Walk Of Fame. We all know she was born in England and shifted to Australia when she was six, but there’s so much more to marvel at. Here’s some of the great trivia info about Dame Olivia NewtonJohn, AC DBE. She is a dual AustralianBritish citizen, who spent much of her later life in America, so the whole world loves her equally. Her grandad won the Nobel Prize in Physics (yep, seriously). She sold more than 100 million records, giving her all-time legend status. Ben Elton is her third cousin. Along with an absolutely mega-ensemble cast (Google it yourself) she had a bit-part in the cult schlock movie ‘Sharknado 5’, again, notButkidding.perhaps best of all, she came fourth at the Eurovision song contest in 1974, representing England (we weren’t in it back then) — you may recall a bunch of no-names called ABBA won the contest in that year. Vale, Olivia. Your passing has seen the Australia-England rivalry put aside for a while. I’m sure around 7 billion people have been singing “Summer Lovin’ ” for at least a minute or two over the past week.
love me (let me know)”. I didn’t really know much country music back then but, because this track was straight after Sherbet, it got lots of airplay on the turntable in our house. I loved it. I can still sing every word and hear the bass voice of the guy on background vocals clear as a bell.
LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB
I have been reading The Chronicles of Narnia to my eldest son over the past month. It has been quite a few years since I read through this beautiful story. It was something my own Dad read to me when I was a similar age. Each time we sit down to read, I am caught up in the magic and adventures of the various children who find themselves in this wonderful world.
18 ORANGE CITY LIFE | AUGUST 18—24, 2022
There are times when my son and I are laughing, or when we are anxious to see what will happen next. There are times when I have been moved to tears. If you haven’t read the Narnia series before, I cannot recommend it enough. It is truly one of the great classics of children’s literature.
I love reading books (I am a big Tolkien fan and read through The Lord of the Rings almost annually). There is something special about a book. The author takes you on a journey of discovery to new worlds, to new understanding, to places that challenge you.

Reading Books
In our digital age, reading books is becoming more and more difficult as we find our attention spans becoming shorter and shorter. But persevering with a book is good. When I finish a book, I love that short-lived feeling of satisfaction (especially when it has been a long or difficult read). Why do I love books? Because I love words. There is something beautiful about what words do to us. Words are so powerful and reading is something that begins at an early age. I was blessed to grow up in a home that loved and valued reading, and it is something that my wife and I are wanting to instil in our own children too. Unless we are reading, there is a chance that we will not experience these lifechanging moments. I was reading a book about Saint Augustine, who lived in the fifth century, and he came to a crisis in his life and whilst he was in a garden, and suddenly heard a child say: ‘take it up, read it’. It was through reading, that his life was changed. What book has changed your life? I can think of a few books that have had a deep impact on shaping who I am but the one book that has changed my life is the Bible. Especially in the words that the Apostle Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 which say: For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. This single sentence changed my life. This is the Gospel, or Good News — that Jesus came to save. These words have shaped the very core of who I am. I love reading them. There are so many good books that have been written in our world. There are so many wonderful words that have been written down that have changed lives. If you haven’t read some of the Bible before, what’s stopping you from taking it up and reading it for yourself? It may just change your life.
There’s a lot of ‘us and them’ when it comes to Aussies and the Poms, but maybe not this week. In the words of our former PM, “How good were those Comm Games?” There are plenty of naysayers out there who dump on these games, claiming the standard is low. Well, tell that to our world recordbreakers. The wag inside of me also loves the ‘game within a game’ that goes on at this competition. Not only is watching the medal-winning performances and personal bests of our athletes fabulous, but cheering on all of the victories over England is perhaps even more satisfying. A win in the Ashes series last summer, followed by a narrow loss in the recent Rugby Test series, had most Aussie sports fanatics ready for the challenge of coming out on top against an English team buoyed by obsessed home fans (who love this ‘game within a game’ almost as much as we do). And … the rest is history. Not only did we top the gold medal count, trouncing the English team by ten golds, but we also took out the unofficial award for the overall medal tally, a really difficult feat against a home nation with a massive number of athletes competing. Back when I was younger, celebrating or joking about the misfortune of those in the top left corner of our flag was called ‘Pommy Bashing’. I guess if the shoe had been on the other foot and England had come out on top, I’d have received messages, texts and emails from friends in England calling us all convicts. And so, around it goes. Then to something that brings us all together. In 1975, the first-ever Long Playing record I owned (given to me on my ninth birthday) was a compilation album of ‘pop’ music called ‘RIPPER’. It was a beaut. Skyhooks, Sherbet, Status Quo, Richard Clapton, and Jon English were my go-to tracks. But track three on side one was by a country singer named Olivia Newton-John. The track was called “If you

Tickets for Robbie Mortimer’s Matchbox 20 Show on Friday, September 16, are available at Ticketek or call 6393 8111.
Humble, graceful, and inspirational, Orange singer-songwriter Robbie Mortimer has continued to enchant fans with his natural storytelling talent. His latest series of performances, The Tour Of The Fox, saw a more “vulnerable” side of the talented singer on stage across Australia’s east coast. “I enjoy removing myself from myself. I try and write for people who have been through things or who are going through things. I’ve lived a lot of that stuff, too,” he said. “I love it when people come up and say my music helped them through a certain period of their life, or they used my song for a wedding song. I’ve had people say, they’ve used my song at quite a few funerals too. That’s“Musicspecial.isaconnector of feelings. I’m able to provide that through my own experiences, and take the time to talk to people, to understand people better, and try to listen and then become more creative.”
Previously having taken his second studio album, ‘200 Years Too Late’, on the road, Robbie has opened up about love, travel, life, and heartbreak over a journey of 18 months during the challenging COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s been amazing to play my own music. It’s really special to hear people singing my own songs back to me,” he said. “I always try to do as many gigs as I can in Orange. (Locals) were there at the very start of my musical journey, and Orange has always supported me with my music. “200 Years Too Late is a bit of a journey album. We were locked down for quite a lot of that period, and I was looking at lots of“Insteadthemes.of writing about myself and things I’ve always written about, it gave me the opportunity to put myself in other people’s shoes… and write from a different perspective.”The“journey-based album” is a unique take on song-writing, styled as a kind of “chapter book”, with significant meaning in each song.
The Tour Of The Fox, which has taken Robbie along the eastern trek of the country, has provided him with new opportunities to showcase his latest album to new crowds. “(The Tour) is one of my proudest musical achievements, becoming totally vulnerable again, out of my comfort zone, and putting myself in front of crowds where nobody knows me,” he said. Launching his tour with two sold-out shows at Orange’s Agrestic Grocer in July, Robbie returns home to perform a Matchbox 20 tribute show at Orange Civic Theatre on Friday, September 16. World-class acts that Robbie has supported include The Beach Boys and The Temptations past, as well as working with artists such as Coy Bowles from the Zac Brown Band. “When I was able to mingle with (artists) of that calibre, the dream became a little more realistic — to have people of such musical ability and who are so well-credited giving me advice and liking my music and me as a person and investing themselves in me. They saw how badly I wanted to do this,” he said. “Hanging out backstage as they played to 40,000 people, learning how they deal with pressure, it gave me the insight and experience that money can’t buy. “I’m very grateful. I worked really hard to be there.” — STEPH ALLEN —

A relative newcomer to the central west music scene, Joy Felizardo is a talented singer and multi-instrumentalist who first joined the Pinnacle Players earlier this year for their show, Song Contest: The Almost Eurovision Experience. “She’s just exceptionally talented,” said Peter. “And we just discovered her talent through the rehearsal period, we had no idea she could play all these instruments… she hasn’t really performed much in the central west before, so we thought she’d be a great person to highlight for this show.”

“From Page to Stage” is a new show that brings you great songs from great books about great musicians. A unique collaboration between Orange City Library and local theatre company, Pinnacle Players, the show sees Pinnacle Player’s Joy Felizardo and Orange Regional Conservatorium’s David Shaw perform songs of musicians with biographies in the Orange City Library collection. “It will be Joy on ukulele and David Shaw on piano, and they are working on some interesting approaches to songs,” said Pinnacle Players founder, Peter Young. “There’s the obvious artists, such as Elton John and Queen, but Joy is also doing some more eclectic stuff such as Joni Mitchell and some Shania Twain — so it is going to be a really interesting mix.”

Cupcakes, kids, and tree planting, were utilised to throw a bit of basic mathematics into the mix, teacher Marlo Robson explained. “We had a special morning tea with 100 cupcakes which the children put 100 cake-toppers on. We then put them in groups and used the cakes and children for a series of maths-based activities,” she explained. “We also went out to the school’s Windemere Farm and planted 100 trees for 100 days of learning,” she added.

The event, she said, was also about the young students looking back at how much they had achieved in their first half-year of school. “It was also about the learning we’ve done in the past 100 days, how far they’ve come, about the kids looking back and saying, ‘I couldn’t do these things when I was first here, and now I can’. “It’s a way to stop and look back and reflect on what they’ve achieved, it’s actually a large part of learning now.”

Sharing the school’s 2022 kindergarten cohort of 14 pupils each in two classrooms with colleague, Georgia Cuming, she said the now-fashionable celebration is an important milestone in itself. “I think so, it’s just a nice way to celebrate those first hundred days, and it feels like that,” Ms Robson said. Ms Cuming said that the plantings will be a continuing reminder of the event. “The children loved sharing this special day with the school and wider community. The planting of spring flowers today at our school farm, Windermere, will be a fitting reminder of today’s celebration,” Ms Cuming said. “The children have so enjoyed reflecting on their learning and celebrating all things 100 today,” Ms Robson concluded. Kinross Wolaroi School recently turned the almost nowobligatory “first hundred days of kindergarten” into a bit of a learning exercise as well as a celebration.

A call has been put out to Orange High School’s “class of 1972”, with hopes to reach as many of the former classmates as possible for a half-century reunion this year. Organising committee member Graeme Lawford, who still lives in Orange, said that while many of the class had stayed in touch, there were still a few people they were trying to get hold of, before the big event. “Many of the class have stayed good friends over the years, as there are quite a few still living in town,” he said. “This will be the fifth reunion, having had one every 10 years. It is important to keep friends alive and remember the good times,” he said.
Members of Orange High’s Reunion Organising Committee of ‘72.(at back) Susan Heigh, Narelle Campbell, and Mark Foley; (front)Graeme Lawford, Joy Hurford (nee Lowe), and Geoff Carthew.
The reunion starts on Friday, September 30 at the Hotel Canobolas with the fun kicking off at 5.30pm. A school tour will also be held on Saturday, October 1 from 2pm for those interested, followed by a reunion dinner at Waratah Sports Club from 6pm. Finally, a barbecue lunch will also be held at the club on Sunday, October 2. “We are still waiting to hear from 40-plus classmates,” Mr Lawford said.

I talked to Mr Harold Maxwell some years ago, and he told me that his father often told him about the camel train he owned in the 1920s, in which he used to carry wheat and wool from the backcountry around Bourke. When Harold grew up, he also took goods to the outback, but this time the train was driven by steam. Like most people working for the railways, Harold began on the lowest rank, cleaning the big steam engines in the yards at Nyngan. By the time he became a driver of those engines, he knew them very well indeed. It was when he was stationed at Lithgow as a fireman that he learned, from the older men, the skills needed to travel up and down the mountains, bypassing the old Zig Zag through a series of tunnels. He was appointed at Orange as a driver in 1962 and retired here in1984. “I had to learn the railroads around here and all the old hands were a great help. They were very generous in sharing their knowledge of the grades and the braking with the young drivers,” he said. There were special skills needed for drivers in the high country. Engines were fitted with a sanding device to stop them from slipping in icy conditions. “We were coming home from Bathurst, leaving Blayney on a fairly heavy grade to Milthorpe. It was an Orange kind of day, with the sleety snow blowing across the track. If we delayed, it would upset the whole timetable,” Harold said. By sheer hard work, they managed to reach Orange without too much time being lost. Such was the job and the hours that a great deal of dedication was needed by all members of the railway team to keep to theAndschedule.sometimes the trains were indeed delayed. My impression though, was that they did their very best to keep them running on time! In addition, the passengers had to beInfed.NSW in the 19th Century, passenger traffic was the largest single purpose of train journeys. As the rail system expanded, passengers often travelled long hours and the provision of refreshment rooms became essential.
John recalled one at Parkes when he was a boy, which served roast dinners and his own particular favourite, “bubble and squeak”. The refreshment rooms were not quite as palatial as that though. Sisters Mavis and Norma worked there after World War II. “I always wanted to work on the railways,” said Norma. “I had had a couple of previous jobs, but the ‘Ref Room’ was the one I wanted.”

The first railway refreshment rooms were leased to private vendors but, in July 1917, with the exception of a handful of stations, “the businesses are now to be conducted departmentally,” announced the Chief Commissioner at the time. Some of the rooms were luxurious restaurants complete with white linen tablecloths, serviettes, and soft lighting.
One of the great advances made in the 19th and 20th centuries, was the transition from camel and bullock-driven vehicles to the more sophisticated steam, oil, and even nuclear-produced energy in use today.
Mavis remembered that it was hard work. She was only fifteen when she started and said they had broken shifts because the passenger trains arrived at 10pm and 4am. The girls were required to arrive for work at 3am until 9am, and then return at 10pm to be ready for the lateThetrain.rooms were not open during the“Thereday. were four or five big tables and a wooden counter and bar,” Norma said. Mavis remembered the crowds and the vast amount of washing up after they had left. It was a rush and bustle to serve them with tea in huge pots, coffee, hot pies, and sandwiches.“Werushed about with coffee and toast,” she said. “There was only a fuel stove and no dishwasher. I was the dishwasher!Therewere at least six girls working in the Ref Rooms. It wasn’t all work though and often romance was in the air. Both Mavis and Norma have fond memories of meeting their husbands there. In fact, when Norma and Eric were married, the railway staff locked them into a “dog box” carriage, just after the wedding, and gave them a big iron key to use when they wanted. It was cold in the depths of an Orange winter and the coal fires on the station were always alight. No matter what time of day or night, there was always someone about to give you directions and somewhere to keepWhatwarm.acomforting place it must have been.

In rugby league, the change came down in the mid-1990s after Federal Government bans on the last legal form of tobacco advertising, event sponsorship, saw the ending of the hugely lucrative “Winfield Cup”. Suddenly club sponsors started pulling the reins, dropping clubs precipitously at the first sign of “controversy” or anything that could reflect badly on their brand. So, we entered the days of the “no comment” or “I’ll leave that up to you to decide” answers in carefully managed media conferences designed to avoid the tens of thousands of dollar fines that teams were levied for speaking out of turn. That is, until the famously passionate former Raiders star halfback revived the good old days of telling journalists what they really feel about the conduct of opposition players. for brand-conscious sporting codes

BARRACKER THE sport@oclife.com.au ALL PUBLICITY NO LONGER GOOD PUBLICITY
“The only thing you do better than us, is scandal,” was a comment an AFL executive is once said to have goaded his NRL rival with a number of years Canberraago.Raiders coach Ricky Stuart’s description of a Penrith player in his press conference after their recent match as a “weak-gutted dog” seems like “Exhibit 5023” in evidence for the prosecution.Hisheated comments followed an incident in which the Penrith player in question, either intentionally or inadvertently, appeared to kick a Raiders opponent in a very sensitive area of his anatomy while attempting to rise to play the football.Stuarthas said that he will “personally” wear the heavy fine almost certainly coming the club’s way over the intemperate remarks, fines which have become commonplace in most sports for officials charged with the vague offence of “having brought the game into disrepute”. All professional sports tread a fine and very vague line between the undoubted publicity and excitement of players, coaches, and officials ripping into each other, and the reputational damage that this behaviour can create for their code in the eyes of parents, children, the media, and sponsors. There was once a time when sports players, coaches, and officials regularly accused each other of being cheats, bullies, biased against individuals or teams, cowardly craven, liars, or simply incompetent. Those golden days for tabloid journalists, such as the mid-1980s when I covered both CanterburyBankstown and Parramatta in the then NSWRL competition, were a wonderful free-for-all in which journalists wandered the sheds after games chatting to players, coaches and officials, and very little was off-limits.Thelaws of defamation in the jurisdiction you were in, were the only parameters reporters had to worry about. It was the same in most sports, where the coaches, players, and officials who were “good copy” were keenly sought for their turn of phrase and ability to put the knife in to opponents and rivals. Outspoken and brilliant English football manager, Brian Clough — who was also a vehement media critic at the same time — was famous for his outspoken comments on soccer officials, players, and otherAmongmanagers.ahandful of his most famous statements was describing the Football Association who ran the English game as “weak as pi%$”; the 92 football club chairmen as “hooligans”, club directors as “sX#thouses and backstabbers” and, after one controversial European Cup defeat against Juventus in Turin, as “cheating, Italian bas#$%&s.” The curtains on media free-foralls started to come down though when the big money first entered professional sport. Up until the 1970s, most “professional” players were earning little more than an average wage through their sport. The steep and sudden climb in television broadcast rights, sponsorship, merchandising, media profiles, and ticket prices, saw sports suddenly become very protective over their professional reputations.Theynolonger wanted their officials and players involved in ugly public spats over sportsmanship, refereeing, contract negotiations, and personal and professional feuds.

I don’t know about you, but I believe that chicken stock should be one of those life skills that we all should master! Like driving a car, starting a fire, and knowing how to grow your own veggies.. don’t you think? One of my fondest memories of my Mum was the smell of her kitchen; the amazing soup with fideos — a type of little Spanish noodles, like angel hair pasta — that she always made me when I was sick. There was something amazing about that liquid. Back then, I didn’t understand why stocks are so good for you, but today I get that the nutrition in the stock comes in part from the aromatics, but there is also an amazing healing factor thanks to the minerals, collagen, and gelatin extracted from the chicken bones as they simmer for a long time. You know what? The day that I understood that — with just a few veggies, some animal bones, water and herbs — you could make one of my favourite things ever: stocks… Well, that day I realised I wanted to learn how to cook. Back in my 20s, I didn’t know I was going to do it professionally, but I loved eating and I wanted to be able to eat at home cheaply, but also eat as well as when I went out with my mates. “What do you mean that I can have three meals with just one chicken?” I asked my mum as a kid. “Sit with a piece of paper and a pen and pay attention,” she said to me. Trust me! I didn’t know that day was going to change my life! First thing first, let’s roast this whole chicken in the oven, she told me. You just need a frypan, the chicken and a little bit of olive oil and salt. Preheat the oven to 180 or 200 degrees and cook until the chicken is golden and delicious (time-wise it will depend on the size, but roughly 30 minutes). To check if it’s cooked, use a paring knife to make a small cut into the thigh going all the way to the bone. If you see any red flesh, put the bird back into the oven. You can also pierce the thigh with a knife to see if the juices are running clear, which indicates that it’s cooked through. “Well, your first recipe is done,” she said. First recipe done, I wrote on my piece of paper. “What are we going to do with it?” I asked. The answer was much simpler than I expected, because the thought of piecing that bird correctly was definitely intimidating to me. “Wait until it cools down then you shred it with your fingers!” As a kid, I loved this part….And the smell was already amazing!! Ok, so now I had one container full of shredded chicken and all the bones and,in another bowl, all the bits that I wasn’t going to use… or so I thought. “Now what?” I asked. “Well, now you can use all that chicken in the next coming days for sandwiches, salads, or anything... Or listen up for the third recipe.” So of course, I listened, I was totally invested in this whole thing. Mum got a pressure cooker and started by adding a splash of olive oil. Followed by onions, cut in half (skin and everything). A whole head of garlic, cut in half as well. A couple of old-looking carrots we had in the bottom of the fridge… Straight away the smell of that step got embedded in my brain, and I still have flashbacks to that moment every time I make a stock at home here in Orange, trueThen,story!she added all the bones from the roast chicken and put them in and caramelised everything very well. “No colour, no flavour.. take note of that!” she said, adding a bay leaf, some thyme and rosemary, a leaf of cabbage and then covering everything with water. “Well that is it, you have just made your first stock!” What? I thought. Is that it? “You just need to leave it cooking for a while and you’ll get the stock. The hot liquid will extract everything from the bones and the veggies and it will become stock. Take note, this is your second recipe!” Ok, the second recipe is done. And it reuses all the stuff from the chicken that I’m not going to put in my sandwiches or salad. Now, while we’re relaxing and letting our liquid simmer and reduce, how about some basic tips for stocks? Never include starchy food such as potatoes or pumpkin in stocks. Do not add salt until the last minute. Maintain a simmering temperature of 95 degrees. If the temperature is too low, it may cause fermentation and souring, and if the stock is allowed to boil, the protein will break up making it cloudy Finally, try to skim the scum from the stock every now and then. Mum used a pressure cooker because that reduces the time of cooking quite a lot. However, you can do this in a normal pot at home and simmer for three or four hours. “What’s next?” I asked “Well, let’s make your favourite soup: sopa deTofideos.”giveyou some context I must tell you that I’m from Madrid, the capital of Spain. Perhaps the most famous dish from there is called ‘cocido madrileño’, a super rich and delicious stew cooked in one pot but served in three courses… but I will talk about it another day. Here, I’m just going to say that the first dish or course of this stew is always the amazing broth with the Spanish type of angel hair pasta, finished with lemon. So this soup is my Mum’s version of that: shredded chicken, the stock, chickpeas and the angel hair pasta, served with a wedge of lemon. “And this is the third recipe!” continued my Mum.Basically, when the stock is ready to go, strain it and put it back in the pot. Bring to the boil and add a couple of handfuls of shredded chicken, followed by a couple of pinches of fresh thyme (just the green, not the stalk) and add a handful of angel hair pasta per person. Cook it for 5 to 10 minutes and serve with a wedge of lemon. I promise that if you offer this recipe to someone who is not feeling 100 per cent, or when it is super cold... Well, they will look at you with a whole lot of love! Please give my Mum’s recipes a try and I hope you enjoy the process. You’ll be amazed at how these three meals will be eagerly devoured by your family. And you’ll be even more amazed that they won’t cost you much to make at all! As we say here in Australia: “Winner, winner, chicken dinner! “ Happy cooking!

The British-Australian songstress recently died of cancer with an outpouring of genuine a ection for the also part-time actress who famously played Sandy Olsson in the movie musical, Grease. “I loved all her songs, she had a wonderful voice and was a lovely person,” Brendan said, listing her 1975 duet “Fly Away” with country music song-writing legend, John Denver as his favourite. “We were on a tour of Hawaii and the west coast of America… Universal studios was the highlight, it was better than Disneyland,” he said.

Many mourn the loss of the Queen’s Honours recipient, Judith Durham AO, and it is right to grieve in the face of death, but those who grieved the death of the Son of God, Jesus, changed their tune when they saw him risen back to life.

Remember the days when bottles of milk were supplied to all school children? The milk was not universally appreciated: in summer it could go ‘off’ quickly and in winter there were often blocks of ice in the bottles. However, Santa Maria students Margaret Millgate, Julie Meers and Annette Kjoller enjoyed their playground drink at the school in May 1955.

THUMBS UP to the very thoughtful lady at the checkout at ALDI on Friday, July 22, who pushed my very heavy trolley full of groceries to my car, which was parked further down the car park, and who offered to unload my groceries into the car. I had just had medical treatment and am a elderly, tired senior. God Bless some of the people in this town.
THUMBS DOWN to all the Orange service stations for not dropping fuel prices like most of Bathurst.
THUMBS UP to Elio at Scrumptious on Summer for his courteous and efficient service, from the oldies who are his Monday regulars.

THUMBS UP to JAM Orange for organising an exceptionally moving concert with Fred Smith and Nerida Cuddy recently. Keep a lookout for the next concert on Sunday, September 4.
THUMBS UP to Cooper at the 711 on Molong Road. He is always cheerful and lovely and delivers wonderful service with a smile!
THUMBS UP to the woman behind me at North Orange Woolworths who lovingly paid for my groceries. A huge thank you! I’d like to repay the favour one day. It’s nice to know that there’s people like that out there in the world. A MILLION THUMBS UP to all the local businesses who support the Vinnies Food Van. We all know it is very tough for everyone at present, but I am thankful for your ongoing support and to the many volunteers who help out the food van.
THUMBS UP to Sonic Cafe in Sale Street for opening during the week until 5pm for those who like an afternoon coffee.
THUMBS DOWN to all the people who park around Wade Park, particularly in front of the businesses. There is a two-hour parking limit in front of these businesses who are doing it tough. This is stopping their customers from having access to them, is thoughtless. Also, please consider others when parking your vehicle. Taking up three car spaces is really rude.
THUMBS DOWN to the appalling woman who viciously verbally attacked the receptionist at a medical practice recently. Apparently, she considered the waiting time to see the doctor was too long, so she took it out on the lovely receptionist. To her credit, the receptionist was perfectly polite to the rude woman. The entire waiting room witnessed her dreadful behaviour.
THUMBS UP to the hardworking umpires at netball who make great calls and project their voice over all the loud noises inside.

THUMBS UP and congratulations to the Orange Bridge Club Committee for hosting a wonderful 2022 Congress. A special mention to the volunteer members who ensured the smooth running of the Congress. Players came from across NSW, the ACT, and interstate and enjoyed the facilities of not only the club, but of Orange generally. Thank you and compliments also to Bees Knees Grazing Company, who provided the lunches on both days.
THUMBS UP to the Wholechild Specialists in Orange. Time and care is taken to support children and families.
THUMBS UP I’d like to give a thumbs up to Mel and the entire team at Blooms Chemist for their incredible act of kindness towards me. They take such amazing care of me, and I believe they all deserve some recognition.
THUMBS UP to M&J Butchery; exceptional service, great beef curry, not to mention the best sausages and rissoles in town.
THUMBS DOWN to the reckless owner of the hulking brown canine at Bunnings recently. I dropped my sausage and, in nary a moment, your inadequately controlled beast had devoured my lunch. If not for your disorderly pet, a rinse and a spruce would’ve had the sausage sandwich ship-shape.
THUMBS DOWN to Orange City Council for the state of Anson Street between Warrendine Street and Gardner Road. Absolutely terrible, how hard can it be!
