DANCE FUSE on Pointe in furthering Steph’s honour

s Leesa Chaseling, Sandro Tranfaglia and Dimity Bartlett strike a pose

— MELISE COLEMAN —

“Before beauty, before creativity, before abundance we were there, dancing.”

S

A quote that perfectly encompasses the Dance Fuse organisation.

tarted by the late Stephanie Sandford with the help of lifelong friends, Leesa Chaseling, Bella Fisher and Dimity Bartlett.

Dance Fuse has become a legacy delivering Dance education programs to primary and infant schools in Orange and the surrounding areas.

has now become a not for profit charity with the ambition to fulfil Steph’s dream of inspiring and influencing the community’s school aged children. All profits raised which, to date is an incredible $19,000 have been invested into a mixture of local, regional and international foundations that share Steph’s desire to change lives and support those who need it the most.

It has been said Steph’s goal was to nurture an explosion of dance in each individual, a fuse that lights a fire in you that helps you express what you are feeling. She knew that dance could tell a story about what a person has been through.

Dance Fuse, Aaron Chaseling said, “Dan (Steph’s Husband) has been the driving force behind turning Dance Fuse into a charity, continuing exactly what Steph was doing with the addition of some fundraising and activities around it to impact the lives of kids and people in the community on a much larger scale. Spread the love, that is the heart behind what we see Dance Fuse as.”

Steph’s Father, Sandro Tranfaglia explained, “Steph always believed that dance would bring people, families and groups together, she wanted to bring happiness to people’s lives and create something where people can enjoy the love of dance, giving everyone an opportunity to dance and have fun.”

“Whether you’re at the pub, or a meeting, or a party, as soon as there’s music, it tends to bring people together, whether they just move their arms or it just brings a smile to their face.”

In honour of Steph and her vision, Dance Fuse 4

JULY 16—22 , 2020

Through the community’s donations the team have been able to invest into an Orange family who are facing enormous challenges as their baby fights cancer. They are supporting a family in Dubbo and one in Newcastle. They have also been able to sponsor six children, rescue seven children from overseas trafficking and donate to research organisations Children’s Cancer Institute and The Mark Hughes Foundation.

As expected COVID has had an impact on the dance school aspect, with Zoom classes becoming the norm, Dimity explained, “It was good to still be able to reach out and have the connectivity with the kids, although it did bring its challenges. The main thing to remember throughout it all is we are keeping Steph’s dream alive and with classes beginning to get back to normal the kids are still loving it.”

Leesa added, “We offer a really professional, fully qualified teaching service. There is so much work that we want to see happen with Dance Fuse but it would be great to get more people onboard to help out.

There are some big things coming up that we need to talk to the team about where the community will potentially see some massive things happen.”

Sandro continued, “It’s absolutely overwhelming to know and see who just how many people we are assisting.

“For me, as a Dad, I wanted her dance school to continue, my wife and I are overwhelmed that they are able to continue Dance Fuse in a positive charitable way and are able to bring

smiles to kids’ faces and it’s great to see the passion of dance continue. To come this far has been surreal.”

Sandro continued, “Going through a cancer journey is extremely tough, bills keep coming in, cost of treatment is always there, and being able to assist in that small way is amazing, whether it be electricity, accommodation or food.

I think that’s what life’s about in a way, one human being able to help out another and that person knowing there is light at the end of the tunnel, there is someone out there who can assist, and people’s lives are changing as a result.”

The Dance Fuse team would like to thank those who have donated so far, “Without you we can’t do the valuable work that needs to be done, whether you are enjoying ‘coffee’s with Steph,’ purchasing products and promoting who we are, what we do and most of all why we do it, we are so fortunate to have helped so many people.”

“If people are struggling - reach out, we will do what we can to help.”

with Bob Holland

INSPIRING WORDS From time to time over the centuries someone has uttered words, a saying or a phrase that has stood the test of time, words that inspire, encourage or are just right for the time.

It’s with that thought that this week in my column, I thought I’d just share a number of inspiring words or sayings with our readers. There’s no rhyme or reason, or any special order for those I’ve included, they’re just random words, quotes and sayings that someone might need to hear about now. Many of us are facing challenges and hurdles like never before, and sometimes words like these can be a real comfort or support, just when we need them.

Even if you don’t need this sort of encouragement right now, these words are good to ponder or reflect on at any time, or maybe just to share with someone who you feel needs to hear them.

“Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”

“Optimism is a happiness magnet. If you stay positive, good things and good people will be drawn to you.”

“Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others, you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.”

“Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow. It only saps today of its joy.”

“If you are too busy to laugh, you are too busy.”

Hogwarts

“Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

Harry Potter fans will recognise this destination, heck even if you’re not a HP fan I’m sure you know exactly what this place is.

“Everyone wants to live on top of the mountain, but all the happiness and growth occurs while you’re climbing it.”

Something a little different this week, bringing you the view from Los Angeles Universal Studios - Harry Potter world. This fantasy land is full of wizard cloaks, magic wands, weird little creatures and there’s definitely no shortage in butter beers!

“Enjoy your own life without comparing it with that of another.”

~ Melise Coleman

“You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.”

“Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time.”

“Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”

“Success is not the key to happiness.

Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”

“Be miserable. Or motivate yourself.

Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.”

“For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.”

“Try not to become a person of success, but rather try to become a person of value.”

“Nothing in the world can take the place of perseverance. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost legendary.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Perseverance and determination alone are omnipotent.”

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.”

“I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you.”

“One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life: That word is love.”

“Sometimes you don’t realize your own strength until you come face to face with your greatest weakness.”

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

“Tough times never last, but tough people do.”

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing.”

“A hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”

“Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.”

ART AND WATER PLAY COULD GO SWIMMINGLY TOGETHER

— JONATHAN ROE —

S

At Orange City Life we always like hearing your ideas, especially when it comes to pushing Orange forward. Over the past few weeks we have received quite a bit of positive feedback for our editor Bob Holland’s idea’s for a walk of art in the Botanic Gardens.

parked by Bob’s idea, we were contacted by a reader and life-long Orange local Ben Humphreys, who had his own thoughts on getting the most out of one of Orange’s most beautiful attractions.

“The Orange Botanical Gardens is one of my favourite spots to take my son and can be used all year round.

The council have already done a fantastic job making the gardens what they are today,” writes Ben, who goes on to say that he believes the dam and water courses could be made into a real drawcard for the area.

“My son often says to me, ‘Dad, how good would it be if you could swim here’ and to be honest I don’t see why not,” says Ben.

GOSLING CREEK IS CHANGING T H E FA C E O F AG ED CA R E

“My idea would be to create a fun and interactive swimming area for younger children consisting of a toddlers pool/man-made lake or something similar. We could have chairs and tables set up with umbrellas to keep the sun away with waterfalls and water sprouts for the kids to play in. An adult swim area would also be great to have.

“I can just see the parents taking their kids to the adventure playground before lunch then setting themselves up in a spot over in the gardens where the kids can play around in the shallow water designated areas.”

Given Orange’s climactic conditions, Ben Acknowledges that such an area would only be useable in the warmer months, but even in winter it could make the area more aesthetically pleasing.

“During Winter it could be just as nice for people to

walk around the gardens with a bit of water flow. There is something about the sound and sight of flowing water, it just seems to make the area better rather than seeing mud banks and dry causeways,” he said.

“Any water system that is put in place would have to be on a cycle to keep the water flowing all year round.”

On the topic of water, Ben also goes on to lament the removal of the waterway on the far side of Lake Canobolas.

“I remember as a kid how cool it was to play around in the water or just watching the water flow and the sound of the water flowing was peaceful and relaxing,” he says.

Those are Ben’s thoughts, what are yours? Do you think a water play area of some kind should be incorporated into the Orange Botanic Gardens?

give back to our Health Service — MELISE COLEMAN —

In February/March the warning signs for COVID were across our television screens, in our timelines and confronting reality, this led to Director of Macquarie Medi Spa, Karla McDiarmid to approach skincare giant Dermalogica, to see what could be done for our local health facilities, in both Orange and Bathurst.

Karla explained, “I just felt for our healthcare services, they don’t get the gratitude they deserve, with the hours they work and it could have been any of us that were needing to be looked after.

Dermalogica were too happy to help and soon enough Macquarie Medi Spa received over 2,000 Ultra calming skincare packs to be handed out, with the Hospital to distribute as they need.

Karla continued, “We’ve never seen this in our

treat a country health service.”

lifetime, with the stress we’ve gone through we are seeing people coming in with more sensitive skin than ever before, so they are actually reacting to things they’ve never reacted to, they’ve got more redness and their skin is irritated and its all linked back to stress and our diets and lifestyle has changed. So, I think this is a great pack because anyone can use it.

It's been wonderful too because as a business we have a 99% female customer base, a lot of the nurses are our customers so we know them, and it’s nice to be able to give back to them as they look after us.

We are so grateful to Dermalogica, we are blessed, and also so thankful that they were happy to support regional, it’s nice to be able to

...I just felt for our healthcare services, they don’t get the gratitude they deserve...

Orange Health Service’s Di Gardiner added, “We thank Macquarie Media Spa and Dermalogica for their very generous donation for the staff here at Orange Health Service. We are very appreciative of all of the donations we have received; we have just been overwhelmed by the generosity of our community and the way they continue to think of our staff out here. Over the past three months everyone at the Orange Health Service has put in incredible effort and they are all going to be very excited to receive these goodies.”

The face packs will be distributed throughout all areas within the facility including; Allied health, Nursing, Medical, Pharmacy and Support services.

Well done Macquarie Medi Spa!

JOHN’S WINNING DESIGNS — JONATHAN ROE —

“Architecture is a great deal of common sense,” says John Andrews, sitting in the sunlit open loungeroom of his Orange home.

Dominating one wall of the living room is a large photograph showing an internal view of the vast glass, steel and concrete Intelsat Headquarters in Washington DC, a landmark building John won the contract design Nooters Club A5toflyer.pdf in 1980. On other walls you’ll find photos of other buildings from John’s long career: the CN Tower in Toronto, once the world’s tallest building; Scarborough College, Gund Hall at the Harvard Graduate College of Design, Boston; and the 30-story NRMA Tower in Sydney — complete with the original sun shades that were later removed, much to John’s obvious annoyance, even after 20 years.

“That was incredibly successful as it was one of the first buildings ever designed that took sun control as a factor…

That building was monitored and it only ever used 65 per cent of the energy a normal building used — almost reduced it by half, but nobody could see the sense of that 20 years

ago when they took them off,” said John.

1

Understanding the function of a building, how people would use it has been key to John’s approach to design and 3:37 PM idea of following styles or a tradition. he21/01/13 is dismissive of the “I have no time for this business of doing something in such a way, because somebody else did it that way, or it’s a style— I can’t stand that! It is more problem solving and common sense,” he says.

“I just like to find the answer to the problem. First of all, to define the problem, when clients really don’t know the size of their own living room and you’ve got to find that out it is really terribly important to understand somebody’s needs.”

Growing up in Sydney’s northern suburbs, John found himself drawn to architecture although at school he was actually pushed towards studying the Law.

Vets corner with MULBERRY LANE VET HOSPITAL Did you know your cat or dog is considered to be a “senior” at 7 years of age? Or that your pet’s food and exercise requirements change dramatically between the ages of 5 and 9? But having an older pet can be a joy!

Older dogs will be calmer and more in tune with the routine of your household. A senior cat will be less inclined to climb up the curtains, and more likely to spend the day in a sunny spot watching the world go by. Your pet ages approximately 7 years for every 1 of our human years, so regular health check-ups become more important as the years pass. Older pets need extra care and love, to keep them fit and healthy and enjoying their “senior” years.

Pets are living longer these days, due to improved medications, and thanks to vaccinations which protect them from infectious diseases. With increasing age, your pet may become a little less active and bodily functions might decline. Some of this is part of the normal ageing process, but it is important that your pet is checked regularly by a vet to ensure that he or she isn’t suffering from underlying medical problems.

It’s important to monitor your pet’s food and water intake (plus what comes out of the other end!) as any change in thirst or appetite can be an early sign of conditions like kidney disease or diabetes. It’s also a good idea to monitor your pet’s weight, as their 8

“I had not done very well in high school and they said you can’t do architecture, you have to do law,” said John.

“When it came time, I did well enough in my leaving certificate that I matriculated which meant I could go to university anyway in those days, so I went and enrolled in architecture, with physics and chemistry, which you supposedly needed.

“I learnt later on that it is far more important to be able to write the English language. Physics and chemistry have to do with engineering, and you can always get an engineer to do it.”

He says it is something that always stood him in good stead and later in his career, while Chairman of architecture at the University of Toronto, John actually made changes to the course to focus more on humanities than to science.

After graduating from the University of Sydney in 1956, he left Australia and entered into a Master of Architecture program at Harvard University, where he studied under Jose Louis Sert.

While at Harvard, John and a team of his fellow student came second in a competition to design the new Toronto City Hall, which set him up for a career in Canada, where he would remain until 1969.

“It was an incredibly good time in Canada,” says

John. “Canada’s attitude was to get behind young people… and a lot of the government work was given to young architects including me and that was a real good start.”

they didn’t,” says John.

John’s first major project, at just 29 years of age, and one that remains one of the most well-known of his career, is the massive concrete megastructure at Scarborough College — still known today as the Andrews Building.

John returned with his family to Australia in 1969, to work on the Cameron Offices in Belconnen, then the largest building ever constructed in Australia and home to the Australian Bureau of Statistics and other government departments for decades.

“And that was probably the most significant building that I ever did... to me, the most important building I ever did.”

Upon completion, the building received wide publicity, thanks in part to John stubbornly holding out for Time Magazine to feature it in their international edition.

“I remember, Time magazine wanted to publish it and I wouldn’t let them until they put it in the colour edition,” says John.

“There were two; one North American edition and one was the world edition. I said not until you put it in the big one, which they would do eventually. It took about six months, but I knew the value of Time magazine internationally and not just in Canada and I got a lot of work out of it.”

Another iconic building in John’s career was Gund Hall at Harvard’s Graduate School of Design.”

“I knew there were a whole lot of people who wanted to do it and thought they should do it… but

John spent the rest of his career in Australia and his buildings can be found scattered across our state capitals and cities around the world.

“My life hasn’t been all success I have to tell you, There have been some low points and that Sydney Convention Centre was one,” said John, referring to the controversial demolition of the Darling Harbour landmark seven years ago.

“Something you put everything into, to see it get knocked down doesn’t go easy. I don’t recommend it.”

“There’s also places where you didn’t leave your mark and you could have… I would have liked to have built one of the public buildings for Australia.”

Still at work at 86, John Andrew is considered to be one of the most significant Australian architects of the past half century.

TELEHEALTH HERE TO STAY — JONATHAN ROE —

Australians lives have been drastically changed by the COVID-19 pandemic; just one example being the rapid adoption of telehealth.

“Actually five coronavirus cases came to me for diagnosis by telehealth, so if it were not for telehealth I probably would have been exposed to these five patients and the medical centre would have been shut down for two weeks,” he said.

ocal GP Dr Thim Chen says Orange patients have s L rapidly adopted telehealth provisions.

“So, it has been very, very helpful.”

Since March, Australian have been able to get GP consultations via video or phone and in Orange it seems patients have gladly taken up the opportunity.

Dr Thim Chen, Principal GP at the Wellness House, said that during the initial few weeks of the pandemic lockdown, more than 90 per cent of their appointments were conducted via telehealth.

Now, with the immediate threat of the virus less prevalent, there is around a 50-50 split between in-person and telehealth consultations.

For the safety of patients and staff at the medical centre during this pandemic, telehealth has been a greatly beneficial tool, he said.

Telehealth is very convenient for some patients, said Dr Chen although he stressed it is not suitable in every case.

“It is convenient for the patient, particularly the older ones that don’t want to come out of the house in winter and some of them are saying we should have started it a long time ago,” he said.

“But still, you know, medicine is a science and an art. For me, I think I prefer to see the patient face to face… for repeating scripts and that sort of thing it is quite easy, but obviously it has its limitations.

I mean, a skin cancer can’t really be diagnosed by telehealth or a suspicion of a fracture, so I’m sitting

on the fence. I think some patients we know would be good for telehealth and some patients really need to come face to face.”

In particular, Dr Chen said telehealth works best when there is already an established relationship between a GP and patient — something the federal government has addressed by limiting access to telehealth services under the Medicare Benefits Schedule (MBS) only to a patient’s regular GP or practice.

But given the enthusiasm with which doctors and patients around the country have taken to

telehealth it looks set to remain a part of our health care system past the end of the current pandemic.

Especially given this statement from federal health minister Greg Hunt on Friday.

“I hope and intend for telehealth to be a positive legacy of this crisis and am already engaged with the medical community in planning a long-term future for telehealth,” Mr Hunt said.

And please remember, if you have any form of cold, fever, cough, sore throat or shortness of breath please make use of telehealth services and do not attend your local medical centre in person.

$100,000 FOR WADE PARK UPGRADE

RUNS ON THE BOARD √ $100,000 for Wade Park

One of Orange’s sporting hubs, Wade Park, is soon to undergo a welcomed upgrade with a $100,000 grant from the Australian Government.

The funding will go towards replacing the grandstand seating with more modern, flip-up seating which will increase the ability for both spectators and cleaners to move in between seats.

Hopefully our region will remain COVID-free so that real spectators can enjoy the comfortable new seating rather than the cardboard cut-outs that have appeared at so many sporting events recently!

√ $9,000 for the Spring Hill Activities Group to support community initiatives √ $10,000 for the Millthorpe Village Committee to improve the safety of Richard Lane.

Wade Park has a long history as a key sporting venue here in Orange. It’s been the scene of many memorable sporting battles and this funding will help it play host to them for many years to come.

√ $55,732 for Millthorpe CWA Andrew with Mayor, Reg Kidd, and Councillor, Jason Hamling, from the Orange City Council Sport and Recreational Committee.

A BOOST FOR HABITAT CREATION AND REVEGETATION Nashdale Hall will soon see revitalisation of the garden area and the re-establishment of an eco-system that will assist with the return of native wildlife endemic to the area with a $5,000 grant from the Australian Government.

The funding, under the Communities Environment Programme, will focus on revegetation with a view to restoring habitat and enhancing biodiversity.

Andrew with Bernadina Smith, President of the Nashdale Lidster Public Hall Inc Committee

√ $750,000 for Blayney King George Oval √ $3,930 for Orange Scouts

Orange City Council has also added some extra funding on top of the grant and has appointed a contractor to do some painting.

These funds will also ensure a day at the footy or cricket will be a little more comfortable with an upgrade to the grandstand seating.

√ $5,000 for Nashdale Hall

The Nashdale Hall is a much-loved local institution and this grant will not only assist in maintaining the outdoor area, but will also provide an important boost for the environment.

REGIONAL UNIVERSITIES ROUNDTABLES Last week, I convened the first of the Regional Universities Roundtables with Chancellors and ViceChancellors from ten of Australia’s major regional universities.

I initiated the Regional Universities Roundtables to provide Australia’s major regional universities with a unique opportunity to discuss issues currently impacting country universities and communities, particularly in light of COVID-19 and the Government’s new proposed tertiary education reforms.

While there was, generally speaking, support for the proposed reforms, it was clear to me that the Chancellors and Vice-Chancellors present share a number of the same concerns about how the proposed tertiary education reforms specifically impact regional universities. I will be feeding these concerns back into the broader discussion on tertiary education reform and to the Nationals' Party Room for the consideration of other country MPs, before making a call on what position we'll take on the package.

√ An extra $2.3 million for Calare communities in the Drought Communities Extension Program √ 38 new mobile phone sites for Calare √ $20,000 for Molong Historical Society to go towards reconstructing the entrance of the Molong Museum √ $4,000 to the Molong Advancement Group to establish a disc golf competition at the golf club and showgrounds √ Almost $54 million in water security pipelines around the Central West √ $40 million for the upgrade of the Mitchell Highway between Orange and Molong at Guanna Hill √ $22 million for a new CSU medical school based in Orange √ $18 million for the Centre for Regional, Rural and Remote Health √ $14.7 million for Mission Australia’s Benjamin Short Grove Aged Care facility in Orange √ $8 million to investigate fast rail for the Central West √ $6.45 million for the Southern Feeder Road √ $3.4 million Aboriginal Learning Centre at TAFE in Orange √ $2.5 million for new classrooms at Catherine McAuley Catholic Primary School

BreastScreen OPEN AGAIN — MELISE COLEMAN —

As services were temporary suspended to protect women, staff and community from the risk of COVID-19. From this week, BreastScreen NSW are inviting all women aged 50-74 years to book in for their potentially lifesaving, free screening mammogram.

To prioritise the wellbeing of women, staff and the community, BreastScreen NSW is taking all necessary measures to limit the transmission of COVID-19.

This includes pre-screening questions around personal health and travel, limiting the number of people in the clinic/van, practicing social distancing and providing hand sanitizer in waiting rooms. They will have a minimal contact check-in process

and additional cleaning of equipment and commonly used surfaces.

Manager of BreastScreen NSW Greater Western, Meg O’Brien says a screening mammogram is one of the most important things women aged 50-74 can do for their health.

“Detecting breast cancer early increases your chance of survival while reducing the likelihood of invasive treatment, such as

mastectomy or chemotherapy.

Bringing this vital service to Orange means more local women can be screened. Life gets busy and we want women to make their health a priority.”

The screening clinic is located at the Orange Health Service, Forest Rd, Orange. To book a mammogram with BreastScreen NSW, call 13 20 50 or visit book.breastscreen.nsw.gov.au

OCLife WHAT’S HAPPENING AT CADIA

TECHNOLOGY AT THEIR FINGERTIPS Newcrest’s Cadia Valley Operations has donated around $40,000 towards new laptops and computers to Orange District Early Education Program (ODEEP) to continue to provide an essential service to children with disabilities and learning delays during the COVID-19 pandemic.

ODEEP was successful in receiving funding for 10 laptops and 10 iPads through Cadia’s Community Partnership Program, which has focused on providing funds to assist community groups and organisations affected by COVID-19.

ODEEP General Manager, Kylie Streatfield, said, ”the laptops and tablets have allowed our families to remain connected with our services

right through the pandemic, ensuring children were not disadvantaged if they could not access technology”.

“The pandemic has affected so many organisations, and we were no exception. The donation of laptops and iPads has allowed us to continue to offer our intervention services to families during the Government imposed lockdown, and we are now fortunate to continue to offer a telehealth service to families who prefer the online session. It has allowed us to diversify our business and provide more flexibility for our families,” Kylie said.

Cadia’s Acting General Manager, Aaron Brannigan,

FAST SERVICE AND GREAT LOW PRICES!

said “We are so pleased that through this donation we have been able to ensure that up to 20 families in the region could continue to access early intervention services”.

“We acknowledge the important role that ODEEP plays in so many children’s lives and hope that they can continue to offer a diverse range of services well into the future with the suite of technology devices now available to them,” Aaron said.

ODEEP is a community based and family-centered early childhood intervention service for infants, preschoolers and school aged children with disabilities or delays in their development, their families and their community.

“We are just sharing a love of what we do,” said Robin Marshall, one of a group of local artisans and artisan makers behind a successful pop-up exhibition over the weekend.

importance of supporting local businesses, state businesses, Australian businesses. I think people are definitely thinking about their decisions a bit more and I think that’s a good thing.”

Robin and friends Giuliana Hannelly and Jennifer Lacey met 15 years ago while teaching at what was formerly known at the MET School.

The success of the weekend has the group planning for a future pop-up events and they believe that there is plenty of room for other local artists and artisans to do the same.

Robin, a hospitality teacher, has long had a side hustle selling preserves under the name ‘Just Homegrown,’ Giuliana also sells a line of Italian bakery treats, and Jennifer, an experienced art teacher, is know for her abstract art and prints.

Together the three friends had long thought about holding some kind of exhibition and initially planned one for March.

“We always talked about doing a pop-up somewhere and we were going to do it up the main street just before COVID hit and that put the Kibosh on that,” said Giuliana.

SHARE THE JOY OF WHAT THEY DO — JONATHAN ROE —

But with school holidays in full swing and tourism picking up in Orange the trio decided to push ahead with the idea. Inviting local artists Wanda Driscoll and Robert Keen to join them, the group got an exhibition up and running at the CWA Hall in Robertson Park — all in the space of a week!

good couple of days.”

“It was a lot of work! We pulled it together in six days and luckily the CWA were very accommodating,” said Giuliana.

The response from visitors and locals alike was fantastic, with a steady stream of people passing through the exhibition and even returning for multiple visits.

“And I think the five of us have been a nice little combination, we’ve just had a lovely time, and a

“Yes, there’s been good energy,” said Robin. “And I think that’s also been noticed by the people. For us, it is less about commercial interests and more about sharing the love of what we do, what brings joy to our lives and share it with other people.”

“We’ve had lots of conversations with people

who’ve been interested and said this is great and we’re so glad you’ve done this and hope you’ll do it again,” said Giuliana.

“People have been really appreciative,” said Robin.

“We’ve had people come back two times, three times, they’ve gone away and they’ve come back and got some more. They really appreciated the fact that what we have is — in their words — ‘quality’ and 100 per cent local!

“I think COVID has really rammed home to a lot of people who haven’t thought about it before the

“Another pop up down the street is only going to add to what there is for people to do, so bring it on!” said Giuliana.

“We’ve already had other artisans approach us,” said Robin. I got text messages last night from people who were wanting to know if they could exhibit et cetera.”

The only problem others looking to do the same might encounter is finding a suitable venue.

“It would be great if commercial premises owners were a little bit more open to this sort of thing. We really ran in to brick walls and it was very hard to get to premises owners and to get cooperation with short term leases — That was really frustrating when you see how many empty shops there are.”

“And it is not about making money for us,” said Giuliana. “This is like a labour of love for me and not a retirement plan by any means. It is just about covering costs, giving people somewhere to go and to share our passions.”

Keep an eye out for another pop-up exhibition next school holidays.

Miriam Dawes solo exhibition — JONATHAN ROE —

Miriam Dawes is one of Orange’s senior citizens with a fascination for all the visual arts, which — in her words — ‘can be found everywhere.’

Since her retirement from the workforce, Miriam has made use of her extra time to explore the art world and her favourite medium — water colour. She has produced many beautiful and delicate works, developing a very recognisable style of her own.

In more recent years, Miriam has moved out of her comfort zone and tentatively dabbled in abstract art. It was receiving tuition from Neil Cuthbert that turned her world upside down and now bold and colourful works are emerging from her studio.

Miriam is also a member of a group of like-minded artists who enjoy going

Triple Chocolate Chunk Cookies Cook & prep: 1 hr 25 mins Serves: 12 Ingredients:

¾ cup brown sugar ½ cup unsalted butter, at room temp ½ cup white sugar 1 teaspoon salt 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour ¾ teaspoon baking soda 1 cup milk chocolate chips 1 (3 ounce) bar dark chocolate, cut into chunks 3 tablespoons white chocolate chips

— BOB HOLLAND—

Following the popularity of the serialized story “Sunshine” that we ran recently in OCLife, it makes good sense to offer other local writers a similar opportunity.

To do that we’re inviting local writers to submit short stories for publication in OCLife, and if we publish your story, we’ll pay you $100 for the privilege.

“we’ll pay you $100 for the privilege” Ideally, stories will be written by a local writer, the word count will be somewhere between 2000-3500 words, they’ll be easy to read, be entertaining, and won’t be offensive or contain course language.

We can’t guarantee we’ll publish all stories we receive but certainly as many as we can.

To submit a story for consideration, send an electronic version to bob@oclife.com.au along with your details and anything else you feel appropriate, such as an introduction or a bit about yourself, the writer.

Method:

Step 1 Combine brown sugar, butter, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until a creamy, deep brown mixture forms. Add egg and vanilla; beat until mixture lightens and becomes smooth, 10 to 15 seconds.

Step 2 Mix flour and baking soda together in a separate bowl. Add slowly to the wet ingredients until mostly incorporated, but some white traces of flour remain.

Fold in milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and white chocolate using a spatula, not the mixer. Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 48 hours.

Step 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) when ready to bake.

Step 4 Divide cold dough into 2 1/4-ounce portions and place on a cookie sheet.

Step 5 Bake in the preheated oven until the edges start to look golden brown and crispy, 10 to 12 minutes. Do not overbake; the centers will not look fully done.

Cool until cookies are set, about 30 minutes.

FIND MORE HOGGIES

WIN 5 X $2 SCRATCHIES For further time-wasting entertainment during these times of home isolation, we’re inviting you to see how many hidden Hogsters you can find throughout this issue of OC Life.

To be in the draw to win 5 x $2 Scratchies just tell us how many you found. You don’t have to say where, just tell us the number. To make it more interesting, the Hogsters you’re looking for this competition are different to the one we use in our regular Find Hogster competition.

The one you’re looking for this looks like this...

THUMBS UP to the 3 man who helped me up after I had a fall.

THUMBS UP to the girls at OPSM, their friendly welcoming smiles and knowledge of their products sure do reassure customers in these uncertain times.

THUMBS DOWN to a local restaurant for the simple chocolate dessert. $8 for half a block of supermarket chocolate broken up into a glass.

Really?? I went and brought myself the whole block for $2.99.

THUMBS UP to Aldi for their hazelnut dark chocolate. So good.

THUMBS UP to the dentistry at Charles Sturt University in Orange.

Their COVID practice is totally thorough. Ultimate professionals, gentle pain free treatments, very reasonable price. We are very fortunate to have dentistry standards such as this in our home town.

THUMBS UP to Lyn W at coffee shop at hospital. Nice smile, a hello, not like some people.

THUMBS DOWN to the person who was letting of fireworks (which is illegal) for over an hour in South Orange Area. Very annoying and inconsiderate action.

I hope that the police located you and took action.

THUMBS DOWN to neighbours who think they can use other people’s front yards for their dogs to wander and dig up and let them roam the neighbourhood (did ring the ranger, not sure if said neighbours have been spoken to).

This is not responsible pet ownership especially when your dogs have shown aggression to other animals.

THUMBS DOWN to the dentist that charge so much to sit in the chair. No wonder so many people are walking around with bad teeth.

HUGE THUMBS DOWN to tradesmen who do not show up for a job, especially when you take time off work to have something done. But thank you to those of you who do show up at short notice.

THUMBS DOWN to local shop House for not taking cash. I had a small purchase which I wished to pay cash for, not card. You lost a sale... small though it was this time. I took my business elsewhere. I do believe it is illegal not to accept legal tender.

THUMBS UP to Hoy Bee refrigeration for good service and a smile.

THUMBS UP to the car on Cargo road near Greening Lane who flashed us as there was road kill on the road. If the car hadn’t have flashed us we would have ran over that mess and been in a different situation.

A BIG THUMBS UP to the folks at the Orange Base Hospital for looking after me when I dislocated my ankle.

From the Paramedics Trev and Jacqui, the Nurses Tayla and Kathryn and the Doctors Ben, Sam and Ruby. Thanks for doing a stellar job.

THUMBS UP Congratulations to Jeanine Bird for her outstanding piece of prose “Melbourne Cup in July” in Newswatch 4 July. Very clever, funny & articulate. Laughed all the way through it!

THUMBS DOWN to the op-shop manager who was rude to an oldshopper seeking help recently. Courtesy costs nothing!

3 THUMBS DOWN for the selfish morons who leave rubbish everywhere.

THUMBS DOWN to the people who are negative about the local members sending birthday cards. Yes they are generic but for some they may be the only recognition and positive mail they get, particularly in this time of uncertainty and isolation. If you read the magnet it actually contains a lot of helpful contact numbers in one place for the government services the member supports THUMBS UP to the man that works at the post office in town (sorry I don’t know your name) who is always so kind and helpful. Thank you for taking the time to talk to my son who has Autism, it made his day. Thumbs Down to the lady who grumpily told me I need to get my son out of the line. It’s hard for my son to talk to people and I’m so grateful for those that can show some kindness and patience for him during their day.

THUMBS UP to Orange City Council for all the trees that they have planted along Diamond Drive in North Orange.

THUMBS UP to Nile Street Café for their wonderful support for home reading scheme at Orange East Public School.

Lunch was yummy.

THUMBS UP to Food Care for supporting the hot meals outreach (warm hearts providing hot meals). Both services are working with each other to support needs in our community.
