Spirit WE CAPTURE THE

OF ORANGE

Saying 'Happy New Year everyone' is the right thing to do, and I do whole-heartedly, and of course the sentiment is genuine, but I have to say it hasn’t started off as many would like.

COVID issues along with many other things on people’s minds at the moment seem to have got us off on the wrong foot, even toilet paper supplies are getting a run again. That pun just came out, sorry. Either way, toilet paper is definitely overrated!

Our Competition page is back again this week and you can find out who were the December winners on that page as well.

On a more general note, let me remind everyone that both our publications, Orange City Life and Newswatch are here to serve you in any way we can. If we can help you get information out about anything, we will. That said, keep in mind we are still a business and we survive solely on the money that people pay us for advertising, for that reason we can’t just give people organisations free adverting or publicity willy nilly, there has to be some balance. To help overcome this we have a variety of affordable ways to help people, be they businesses or community groups etc. There is no one size fits all, so if you think we can help you, don’t die wondering, please call us, and ask any questions you might have, there’s no obligation.

So, let our year begin……we’re glad to be back, we hope you are glad to see us back too!

Happy reading and go well everyone!

s e t a r Celeb David

50 years of Service

— MELISE COLEMAN —

It was pure persistence that led to David Boulton to recently celebrating 50 years at Orange Electrical Works (OEW).

The business, established in 1921, looked quite different to what it is today, not only in premise and structure, but as a 17-year-old just finishing fifth form, David saw becoming an apprentice at OEW quite a daunting experience, fast forward some time, today, David is the current Managing Director and Owner since 1995, with his wife Nerralie.

work every day, go home and do it all again.

It’s just habit.

the field, back then a lot was brought into the workshop.

“I can still remember my first day in ‘71,” David recalled with a smile. “I was very nervous, and I swept the floor.. every day, that was my job. Like all first-year apprentices, though I was the only one in that particular year at the time.

“The trade is also much more varied these days, there are so many facets to the electrical industry that you can specialise in.

“I fronted up to the company, which was in Sale Street back then,” David explained, “I was in year 10, I walked in and said I wanted a job, they told me to go away and to come back next year… so I came back the next year and got an apprenticeship as an Electrical Apprentice.”

“As time went on, I began fixing small appliances like irons and toasters, vacuum cleaners and kettles, which was a good place to start because they were pretty simple,” said David.

David explained his interview to gaining the job to be a pretty simple process, “Not a lot of questions were asked, though I did have my school certificate results to hand over. I had my three month trial and then signed onto my apprenticeship, I’ve still got that paperwork at home actually.”

“I had a bit of an odd transition through the business, from small appliances, then to the radio room to then home repairs, then more technical stuff like lifts, escalators and commercial catering equipment. We would attempt to do whatever came along in those days. Even from the early 80s I spent part of my time doing part admin work so that just grew into more and more of it.”

“50 years, yeah, It’s pretty amazing,” David ponders, smiling.. “It makes me feel very old, it just happened so quickly really, you go to

Since 1971, as you can imagine, a lot in the business world has changed, “I think the biggest change is today we work more out in

“I’m proud of those that I have met in my 50 years being in the business, now-a-days the boys come back from a job and they say ‘Oh I was just out at your mates place’, that’s a regular occurrence,” David laughed.

“I think I’m most proud of just still being here and being in the position I’m in. There’s been some good times and some bad times, some long days and some not as long, but you’ve just got to work your way through it.

“They are a good group of fellas here and we’ve had some big jobs over the years, it’s just whatever comes along, if we can tackle it, we do.

“I’m thankful that the business has continued, we’ve worked hard to make it, but that’s what you do.”

David received a surprise celebration and cake from his team. Congratulations David.

What a remarkable achievement.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE And so a new year has begun. Happy New Year everyone!

It’s a time when many people stop and think about the year ahead, some make New Year resolutions, others simply think about what they want to achieve and set goals accordingly, while others will ponder ways to make a difference in one way or another, for themselves or for others. I’m in that category. Then there are others again who just like to look back to see what they did during the last year and then think about what they could do better this year.

Me, I’m always wanting to make a difference for someone or someones, it’s just part of my nature. It’s for this reason that I’ve decided on a Community Project this year that will help us all, that is, if enough of us get behind it. It’s ‘Growing Hearts for Orange.’

This year more than most is going to see a lot of new challenges and pressures on all of us, COVID-19 has ensured that. It’s not going to go away anytime soon and it’s going to cause all sorts of continuing grief for a lot of people, right across the board. Every one of us will be affected in some way.

For a city like Orange, I believe there are several ways to negotiate our way through the coming year. We can simply follow the crowd and do what everyone else does or we can decide to take some charge of our own destiny and “fight”. If we do what everyone else does, we can hardly expect to arrive at the end in any better shape than anyone else, and that is as individuals AND as a community. If we “fight”, we can only improve our chances on all fronts and that will lead to better outcomes in many vital areas like job numbers, our overall economy, the viability of local businesses and so on.

‘Growing Hearts for Orange’ is an extension of what we started last year

Australia’s

Argyle Mine is closed

to support and encourage our local non-hospitality retailers. This year, I want to try and extend that sentiment right throughout community, in a way that touches many more people than just our retailers. My hope is that over time, we will all come to embrace the theme, then, depending where you’re at right now, change how we think about our City and start putting more back into it than we have in the past. If enough people can come to appreciate the benefits of really having a Heart for Orange, and then put it into practice, I promise we will all come out of COVID-19 in a lot better shape than most.

Growing Hearts for Orange is a project for our entire community to embrace, from the Council, to the local media, to business owners right down to everyday citizens, we all have a part to play and it won’t take very much at all to be part of the action.

The bottom line is, we simply need you to take great pride in your City, take care of it, encourage and acknowledge those who are doing things we can all be proud of, and to spend as much of your money as you can right here where your heart is. Do that and it will reflect positively in all those areas I mentioned - job numbers, our overall economy, the viability of local businesses and so on.

For our part, our publications Orange City Life and Newswatch will carry regular stories and articles to help keep us motivated and on track. We’ll include comments, editorials, stories about people who demonstrate a Heart for Orange, and we’ll encourage ideals such as keeping Orange beautiful, supporting locals in everything, respecting our neighbours and showing friendliness to all visitors.

I hope you like our Community Project and decide right here and now to support it.

Memories

by Ned “Shoot him, hang him, tar and feather him,” the rafters rang with indignation and disgust. No. Not a riot but a Euchre tournament in the 1930’s. A player had reneged.

If you are not among the chosen and have not included Euchre in your education, you may find the following gobbledygook, but I am sure there are sufficient aficionados out there to follow.

From 7pm till 10pm in the 1930’s as a small boy we did not have radio or TV so any family recreation was homemade and part of which was the ability to handle a hand of cards.

From a young age I found by observation and participation I liked the games and found I had the ability to count the cards and tell by facial expression and body language with reasonable certainty whether a player had a good or a bad hand. You needed that ability to play to your best hand that was dealt to you – Just like life.

I remember the atmosphere – a good log fire crackling in the hearth on a winter’s night, four

ORANGE SQUARE MEDICAL CENTRE Would like to welcome...

people around a table laughing and playing cards and the expectation of a good hand and the exultation of a top one. The joy of coming from behind when your luck changed, and the game was a close finish. The feeling of security and safety and I guess you could call it happiness.

him from under the table if he played a wrong card, Dad was a very cautious player and would not go alone unless he held two bowers and an ace. Mum on the other hand had the philosophy of “fortune favours the brave” and made some strange calls and got away with them.

I compare that with today – fat babies sitting in comfortable lounges being fed pap from a TV screen.

“Whoa Ned” says my lovely wife. “Come down off your soap box. You may have people take offence and shock, horror that would never do.” Says I “I stand chastised; you are so right, please forgive me. I forgot that nowadays you are not allowed to say what you think.”

Because of my young age I wasn’t allowed to play but the nice supper after made up for it.

We occasionally went to a Euchre tournament. Dad always insisted he be allowed to wear his cricket shin pads to protect him from the little old ladies kicking

At home while Mum was making supper after a game of Euchre, we would bring out the big jar of pennies for a few hands of Blackjack, if you won at Blackjack you would certainly lose at Slippery Sam or Red Dog. They say a good card player is the sign of a misspent youth. “Who cares.”

Regards, Ned!

Summer reading event at the Library

— MELISE COLEMAN —

Central West Libraries are inviting children to join in its summer reading event, their ‘One Library One Book’ – Kids community reading project.

A school holiday adventure for the kiddos, library staff are encouraging children borrow a copy of ‘How to Make a Movie in 12 Days’ by Fiona Hardy and join in the library adventure.

The book tells the story of Hayley Whelan, a suburban 11-year-old and amateur filmmaker who has all the ingredients of a great movie – a thrilling horror screenplay, a spooky set, high quality props and a stellar actress. So, what could possibly go wrong? As she and her friends embark on their tight film schedule, things do start to go wrong. Is someone trying to sabotage her movie?

Orange Mayor Reg Kidd said the Central West Libraries’ reading team looked at many books before settling on this one. “How to make a movie in 12 days fits the bill perfectly, combining mystery, a love of spooky movies and friendships that are tested by the challenges of making a real movie in the summer school holidays,” Cr Kidd said.

Come join Orange U3A and START something new!

ENROLMENT DAY Thursday 21st January at Orange City Centre (outside Priceline) 9:30am to 2pm New Courses on offer Classes in Arts, Sciences, General Knowledge, Socials For information and brochure, contact 0401 355 328 or visit our website orange.u3anet.org.au

“When a book makes you laugh out loud and you just have to keep on reading, you know it’s a winner.”

“Central West Libraries has put together a great range of events connected with the book including meeting the author via video link, filmmaking and animation workshops, tricky trivia and the chance to see your short film at a special screening,” he said.

Pick up a copy of the book at any Central West Libraries’ branch, read it, participate in the conversation and join the fun. It is essential to book for events and enjoy it all for free!

One Library One Book – Kids will run until February and events will be held throughout January, with bookings to be made through Eventbrite.

Boredom is not a word in the U3A Vocabulary — MELISE COLEMAN —

After several months off, the University of the Third Age (U3A) committee and their members are very much looking forward to getting back to classes as ‘normal’.

Don’t be put off by the word university-in this instance it is used in its oldest form, being a gathering of like-minded people who come together to learn and help each other.

Having found a way to virtually keep in touch previously, come February 1, classes will recommence in Orange at the Nquluway NgurangOrange Senior Citizens Centre, keeping to all COVID guidelines and restrictions.

A member eager to start the new year is Lydia Smith who moved to Orange two years ago and has since become an avid member of U3A Orange.

“I used to be a Teacher and a Librarian; I didn’t want my skills going to waste,” said Lydia. “I wanted to keep learning, and I thought maybe some of the

Course Leaders Cecily Butcher, Elizabeth Griffin, Keith Curry, Lydia Mith and Jean Penrose look forward to getting their U3A classes back underway.

things that I have learnt will be interesting for other people.”

Lydia brings with her two new class subjects to U3A Orange, ‘Grey Matters’- helping people think through different world views. And ‘Armchair detectives’, tracing the development within a crime novel.

Lydia continued, “U3A is run by people within the community sharing their skills and learning from each other and I think that is fantastic, particularly coming out of our year of COVID. We really need something like U3A to help people re-connect, keep brains active and have fellowship and fun together.

They have so much to offer, I am amazed at the creativity and knowledge of people of met since I’ve been with U3A.”

Old favourites will be returning again this year including Keith Curry’s ‘Lively Discussion’ group on major topics around the world, this subject has been running for 15 years!

Another highly anticipated class is ‘History Unravelled’, this is led by Elizabeth Griffin and follows an adventure through history from first encounters, discoveries and more.

U3A will host an Enrolment Day at the Orange City Centre from on Thursday January 21 and an Open day at Nquluway Ngurang- Orange Senior Citizens Centre on Wednesday January 27.

The first day of team will be February 1, be assured of a warm welcome and meeting new people, perhaps even discovering your own hidden talents.

Orange U3A are always exploring new topics and/ or courses that the community might like to offer.

Why you should consider downsizing at Oak Tree Retirement Village Orange Although it is a very rewarding change, downsizing can be daunting, particularly if you have lived in your home for many years. At Oak Tree, we are here to support you and make the process as simple and stress free as possible.

While it might be difficult at first, the benefits of downsizing are unmatched.

A fresh start with less worries.

Downsizing allows residents to leave behind the physical and financial burden of a large family home. Our villas are stylish, of a high-quality condition, and still have that homely feeling about them. Downsizing into an Oak Tree villa gives you the opportunity to decide what’s important to you and fill your new home with your most precious items and memories.

Peace of mind & budget certainty.

As we get older, the family home can become too big, the yards and gardens increasingly difficult to maintain, and the house more challenging to clean.

At Oak Tree, have the peace of mind that all maintenance, repairs, and most of your regular outgoings will be taken care of with an affordable weekly fee. It covers everything from gardening,

rates, and water, to building insurance and recreational facility operations.

Security for the future.

While commonly associated with aged care facilities or nursing homes, our retirement villages actually encourage you to maintain your independence for longer. The no maintenance structure, smart design, and convenient locations of our villages set you up for the long term. We collaborate with many external service providers, and with close proximity to crucial medical facilities, you’ll have all the care you need well into the future.

“I am enjoying life so much here at Oak Tree Orange, along with the wonderful friendships I have made with the other residents. It has all the things that are important to me. I live on my own, so I wanted somewhere that had gated security. I love a garden, but I needed one that was low maintenance.”

Julie, resident.

A local art pop-up gallery has proven popular with locals and visitors alike. Now organiser and artist Hank Spirek is looking for young up and coming creatives to get involved.

“I’d like to encourage some younger faces, I can’t promise them a lot of space, but I would like to see examples of their work on a couple of the screens we have available here,” said Hank, who has been pushing for owners of empty shopfront to allow locals artists to exhibit their work.

The pop-up gallery space at the Summer Centre was the result of Hank’s campaign though Orange City Life and our sister publication Newswatch.

“I’d like to broaden it a little bit, just to give the people that come in a wider taste of the sort of art that’d being done in Orange… the people that come in, the citizens of Orange express their joy in this sort of an exhibition being up, because it shows such a range of work, a range of Orange Artists, and they appreciate that.”

Since opening the doors of the temporary gallery in November last year about $14,000 worth of work has been sold and between 50 and 60 artists have exhibited work.

“We have shown a fair range of work and I’d like to increase that range with some younger artists if possible,” said Hank.

“I also want to encourage them to get involved in

10 JANUARY 14 — 20 , 2021

Hank is keen to see a broad range of styles in the pop-up, which has been well received.

While the Summer Centre location has been a success, it is only temporary, and Hank would like find more landlords willing to open their properties to artists.

“We have this temporary space through at least February, but where can we go from here? We have the artists, we showed that we can work together, we’ve showed that people of Orange like it, because they’ve put their hand in their pocket and bought a lot of work, and that there is a taste out there for something more than just in the main galleries,” said Hank.

“There is a need for it and we’ve shown that we can manage it. So I’d like to ask any business person who thinks that they may have shop space in March and after to please come forward.

“I want the people of Orange to see that this really is a vibrant, artistic community... so support it! I think it would be a real boon for the town if there are any businesspeople who are willing to step up to the plate.”

Wayfinders find Their Way Back — MELISE COLEMAN —

Volunteer Wayfinders at the Orange Health Service hospital have recently recommenced duty as of January 11.

After some nine months in hibernation due to the COVID-19 and with the establishment of new health and safety procedures, the Wayfinders have been given approval to return.

Orange Hospital Wayfinder, Gary Scovell mentioned this will be the volunteer groups 10th year providing their service. Gary explained, “We provide a meet, greet and chaperone service to all visitors and staff at the hospital at the same time practising social distancing and disinfecting procedures.

“In saying that the pandemic has resulted in the

Wayfinders losing quite a few of their members for various reasons, so, we are encouraging community members to come and join our Wayfinding community. All ages are welcome, and a current flu vaccination is mandatory,” Gary said.

Bev Kerr has been with the volunteer Wayfinder group since the very beginning, “I had retired, and I was looking for something to fill in my week which is when I heard about the Wayfinders. I love meeting the people that come through the hospital and being able to help them. Most people seem very appreciative of our help, particularly people from out of town,” said Bev.

Wayfinding services will be provided 7 days per week. You can find them to the left, inside of the front entrance of the hospital sporting their bright red vests and an eager smile (behind the mask) to help you get to where you are supposed to be.

If you would like to be a Wayfinder or know someone who would like to be please contact Gary Scovell phone: 0420 329 118 or garyscovell@hotmail.com

C Cats need an annual injection to protect them from CatFlu, feline enteritis, and, if your cat goes outside, M Feline AIDS. Regular worming for cats is important – for Y the good health of your cat and also to protect your CM family. If your cat uses a litter tray, then the careful disposal of soiled litter is essential and, ideally, the tray MY should be disinfected weekly with boiling water.

Remember that if your cat or dog is going to a boarding CMY kennels this summer, you will be asked to show an K up-to-date vaccination certificate, or he or she might be turned away.

Orange is a “hotspot” for a horrible doggy disease called Parvovirus, which causes severe haemorrhagic gastroenteritis. It’s very contagious, and can be picked up from the ground or even carried on your clothes!

Puppies are particularly vulnerable, needing intensive care in hospital if they’re going to have any chance of recovery. A simple injection will protect your dog, so puppies should have a series of injections starting when they are 6-8 weeks old. Your precious new pup isn’t fully protected from Parvovirus until after their third needle, so no outside walks or playing with unvaccinated dogs until after that time. After the initial course to protect against Parvovirus and other diseases like canine cough and distemper, your dog will return for an annual checkup and vaccinations, tailored to their needs.

Loving care for your pet is not just caring for them when they are sick. It’s about protecting him or her from disease and booking regular check ups, to keep him or her as happy and healthy as they can be. Dental check ups are essential for all dogs, cats and rabbits. A smelly mouth is just one of the signs of possible dental disease.

Poor dental hygiene can be so painful for your pet and will have a damaging effect on their overall health – there are well known links between bad teeth and heart, liver or kidney disease in pets. This month, your dog, cat or rabbit can have a FREE dental check up with one of our experienced vets, plus will get $50 off any dental treatment that may be required.

You’ll find a range of flea and tick prevention products for sale in our reception area and, most importantly, friendly advice about all aspects of caring for your pet.

We look forward to seeing you soon.

đ&#x;Žś make 2021 your year for music No matter your age — JONATHAN ROE —

Interested in learning an instrument, playing with a group or singing in a choir? This coming Wednesday the Orange Regional Conservatorium (ORC) is opening its doors to the community giving everyone a chance to meet with expert local teachers, try out a variety of instruments and learn just what the Con has to offer.

Spots are filling fast but there is still a selection of free introductory classes for kids on offer, including Early Childhood Music, Singing for Kids, Beginner Violin, Djembe Drumming and pBuzz,� said ORC Open Day organiser James Buchanan.

But the open day is not just about encouraging young musicians, said James, with more and more adults taking up instruments and joining groups at the Con each year. “Adult learners are a big thing for us. Especially in the last few years we’ve has more adults joining choirs, or some of our orchestras or bands and things like that. So we don’t want it to seem like it is just for kids anyone who is interested in learning an instrument should come along and check it all out,� he said.

“The pBuzz is a new instrument in the brass family, perfect for beginners as 5 years who may be a bit young for trumpet or trombone, said James.

With all the disruptions of 2020 (hopefully) behind us, the ORC is keen to build back up their choirs, bands, orchestras and groups who have been able to gather together for much of the past year.

“It’s basically a tuned plastic tube that is really easy to play. Kids also learn the basics of music reading while playing pBuzz, so it’s a great first instrument to take up.�

“That’s why we are really trying to push it this year because a lot of these groups spent almost twelve months not being able to meet together and so we are trying to hopefully build them back up and get

đ&#x;Žś

đ&#x;Žś

people having that social music experience again,� said James. “It’s well established that rehearsing and performing music in a group improves well-being and mental health and it is also a great social activity. The ORC prides itself on the inclusive and welcoming culture within its groups, no matter skill level, background or age. There is something for everyone, be it the 100-member-strong Come Together Choir, or the ever-growing Big Phat Jazz band with members ranging in age from early teens to mid-seventies. “We will have a couple of our choir directors here

on the day who can talk to people about what’s involved and how to join the choir and things like that. “We also have a symphonic wind ensemble, we have our Encore adult orchestra, which is a community orchestra mainly made up of older people who come along one night a week and play through some pretty classic classical music and there are a couple other choirs to like a chamber choir and that kind of thing that are largely adult groups.�

Anyone interested should come along to the Orange Regional Conservatorium 2021 Open Day at 73a Hill Street on Wednesday 20 January between 10am – 2pm.

A new picture book from local author and illustrator Alan Robinson offers an opportunity for parents and their children to talk about a difficult subject.

in the southern hemisphere Easter coincides with autumn… so you have the idea of the falling, dying leaves and the idea of death and the idea of sowing seed in the ground which happened in the autumn followed by new life in the spring. So all those themes came together for me while I was preparing to write that and I came to put together the autumn book which makes it a bit different. I think a bit deeper than the other three books.”

Picture book a way to start the conversation around death

Dealing with death is not the typical fare of children’s literature, but it is not something we should shy away from, says Alan, a retired Uniting Church minister.

His newly published books Grandpa’s Farm An Autumn Day and Grandpa’s Farm A Winter’s Day complete the seasonal quarter he began 11 years ago with his Spring and Summer titles The books are based on Alan’s own experiences growing up on the family farm near Young and his children’s holiday visits from their Sydney home. The illustrations and subject matter, immediately recognisable for anyone familiar with farm life in the Central West, have struck a chord with people across the region.

— JONATHAN ROE — “I had attempted to do some illustration work on

The story deals with the death of a much-loved

Alan said he hopes the book will be of help to children dealing with grief and that they will see that it is OK to talk about it.

“Whilst people might shield children from death and children might want to distance themselves from that sort of setting there is no avoiding it,” he said.

“Children’s first introduction to death is usually through the death of a pet and them coming to terms with what’s happened to something that was alive and that they had a relationship with that is suddenly not there anymore. So whether we like it or not children do get confronted with that and I hope that the book will give an opportunity for conversation to happen between parents and carers and their children.”

Alan’s Grandpa’s Farm books are available at Collins Booksellers Orange and can also be found in other centres including Parkes, Bathurst, Dubbo, Molong, Cowra and Canowindra.

THANK YOU TO OUR FRONT LINE HEALTH WORKERS Many of us went into the Christmas break optimistic the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic was behind us.

But it didn’t take long until various parts of Sydney, the Central Coast and Blue Mountains were placed under various restrictions and lock downs right before Christmas Day. Then the pandemic reared its head here in Orange, with a confirmed case having passed through the city in late December.

Without knowing then what was to come, I dropped by the Orange Health Service before Christmas to thank our hard working front line health workers.

Andrew with the dedicated staff from the ICU Ward at Orange Hospital.

I’m glad I did. They have worked tirelessly over while most of us have had down time. We’re only two weeks in to 2021, but it is shaping up to be as busy as 2020 for these hard working doctors, nurses and healthcare workers.

Thank you for working around the clock to look after us, now and into the future.

$200 MILLION BUILDING BETTER REGIONS FUND NOW OPEN! Applications are now open for the latest round of the enormously-successful Australian Government’s Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF).

The centre, which is due to be completed in April, was made possible with a $308,175 grant through Round 3 of Building Better Regions Fund.

√ $3.454 million for a new four lane bridge and road upgrades over the Orange to Dubbo railway line

It’s a great example of how the BBRF can help local communities. Once complete, the Centre will cater for online auctions, national conferences and school events, which will be good news for the Co-op and for the local economy.

√ $19 million for the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health

Other great, local projects to win funding from the BBRF include Mudgee’s Glen Willow Regional Sporting Complex, which received more than $7 million; more than $1.118 million for a domestic violence crisis centre in Orange; $1.9 million for the CentrePoint Sport and Leisure Centre in Blayney; $492,410 for a new Multi-Purpose Community Centre at Eugowra Showground and; $12.5 million for Bathurst’s second racetrack.

GARDINER ROAD UPGRADE NOW UNDERWAY Work is now underway at the Gardiner Road and Cecil Road intersection in Orange.

I joined Orange Mayor Cr Reg Kidd to announce the important road upgrade last year.

It’s thanks to $230,000 in funding from the Australian and NSW governments through the Safer Roads Program.

This funding will be used to construct practical road safety infrastructure on Gardiner road, including a raised asphalt intersection and improved stormwater drainage.

It has been a challenging year for the Central West, which is why the Australian Government is continuing to work hard to deliver safer roads, while creating jobs and supporting local economies.

“It’s fantastic to see that the intersection at Gardiner and Cecil Road in Orange will receive $230,000 in joint funding from the Australian and State Governments under the Safer Roads Program.

Other road upgrades in the Central West funded under the recent Safer Roads Program round include the $1.7 million upgrade of the Mid-Western Highway, south of Blayney; $2.8 million for an upgrade of the Mid-Western Highway at Bathampton and $1.3 million for the Castlereagh Highway at Lithgow.

Ruth brings music to the children — JONATHAN ROE —

Ruth Thompson has a lifetime of experience teaching music to young children and over the coming months she will be sharing what she knows with Orange City Life readers through a new column Music and your child.

“I think music making in the early years should really be accessible to every child,” says Ruth, who is a passionate advocate for consciously and deliberately introducing children to music from a very young age.

Originally trained as an early childhood teacher and run her own preschool centres, Ruth retrained as a music specialist and spent 30 years as a Primary Music Specialist in schools in Queensland.

Moving to Orange some eight years ago, Ruth decided to combine her passions and founded the Early Years Music School.

“I married that passion for music with my early childhood background and having seen the benefit of bringing music into children’s lives under the age of five. So I began writing the curriculum that I now teach at my school.”

Ruth’s lessons involve small groups of children and their parent or carer singing along with lots of movement, play and props.

“The lessons are designed to give children opportunities for musical play and engaging in music in a variety of

different ways,” she said.

“I’m often asked so what instrument do you teach a baby?

But it has got nothing to do with instruments, it is about using the instrument we all have which is our voice and teaching children to engage in music through listening and making sense of the sound around them.”

With more than four decades in classrooms, Ruth is a firm believer in the importance of a musical education.

“I just know that the combination of children and music and their primary carers is a winning combination for developing really, really strong neurological pathways for later learning,” said Ruth.

“Not so much to develop musicians, but it makes children into wonderful listeners, it gives children opportunities to be social and engage in one-on-one in small group settings, it develops fine and gross motor skills, it enhances language learning like nothing else!”

And it is not just the children who benefit, she said.

“Parents go away feeling connected, with new ways to

interact with their little ones… it is just a delicious job and one that brings me immense joy, because I can see it bringing my customers great joy and wonderful learning! I’m a tad passionate about it!”

With Music and your child, Ruth wants to share some of the knowledge she has gained over the years and encourage parents and carers to take the time make music together.

“People don’t go and sing in places communally any more, but it is so important for us as human beings… this is really about making musical play and the fun and the joy of singing accessible to as many children as possible before they get to school,” she said.

“Some of the examples that I will be putting into these columns will be material that people familiar with like the ‘Grand Old Duke of York’ or ‘Ring-a-Ring-o’-Rosie’ something that they know or I’ll give them tools to find quality music that they can then use for their children an what to look for in a piece of recorded music…

“There is a huge need and so this is one way of getting a bit more information out there.”

HistoryTALKING with HELEN McANULTY

Recently I heard a talk on the radio from a physical educationist who was advising parents that they should be encouraging their children to take up an organised sport as early as possible.

game away.”

Keith spoke of fights after school organised by the kids themselves to settle differences.

Dick remembered playing in the trenches which had been dug in Orange during the war as well as bee bee air guns which they actually fired at each other.

games d e y a l p we

This very laudable advice, would of course, involve quite a bit of work and money on the part of the parent but, in the long run, would ensure that the child, whether it liked it or not, would be more active, more co-ordinated, out in the fresh air and best of all, not overweight.

When the Oral History Group met this month we discussed the many ways in which we attained the same goal, generally without involving our parents at all.

It was called playing or mucking about and required inventiveness in using whatever equipment was at hand and a good deal of imagination and physical activity.

In thinking over our discussion and deciding what to write in this article, I realised that most of our activities would be banned today as they seem to have involved quite a bit of hitting and pushing and bruising encounters with each other from which we usually got up, dusted ourselves off and went back for more.

Today we have play dates where anxious parents drive their children to the houses of friends where they play together for a specified and supervised period after which they are driven back to the safety of their own home.

Fortunately for us in those far-off days of our youth, our parents often had little idea of where we were or exactly what we were up to, which gave us a wonderful opportunity to explore the world, to make our mistakes and miraculously (mostly) escape unscathed.

There were, of course, organised sports at

school like tennis and football, cricket and other ball games in which we all took part, willingly or not.

Leslye, who grew up in Moree, remembers with very little enthusiasm, her hours of standing in the hot dusty outfield waiting for the action to come her way.

Frank attended St Mary’s Cathedral school in the city where they played sport in The Domain and ran to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair and back for extra training.

Most of the men in the group went to country schools where quite often horses were involved.

“We had chariot races,” said Tim. “You crossed the stirrups, stood up straight and if your horse went through a gate, you came off. It was great fun.”

Keith also remembered buck jumping while several of the group were quite good at riding poddy calves.

Both John and Keith played games at school which seem to have been purely locally devised.

“We played Indi-I-Over, Keith told us.

“It was a little bush school and a team stood on either side of the building. The aim was to throw the ball over the school and, if someone caught it on the full, he could run around and brand one of the other team.”

John’s game entailed branding too when “some poor wretch stood in the middle of the circle while we tried to hit him with the ball,” he said.

In the bush where many of the group grew up, there was much swimming in the creek, dangling from ropes tied to trees and swinging over the water, building dams and sailing canoes they had built ourselves.

“Down on the Lachlan near Forbes,” said Reg “we used to dive in the river and grab a handful of sand to see who could find the most gold specks.

“Coming home from school through the old goldfields we would challenge each other to see who could jump over the fallen-in mines. Once, after a bit of an earth shake, we looked down one and saw that it was about forty-foot deep so we gave that

In those carefree days most boys had a gun to shoot rabbits and of course a knife was also an essential part of their equipment.

While the girls were perhaps not encouraged to take part in such boisterous activities, they still rode bikes, swung from trees and swam in creeks and dams.

There were also games like hopscotch and skipping, hide and seek, leap-frog, sack races and even egg and spoon races.

All these required hand and eye coordination, agility and expended a lot of energy. Doreen remembered elastics where you made intricate patterns with two strings looped to your fingers.

Today, private courses are offered, at some expense, to pre-schoolers to improve their core strength and body awareness.

Something most of us were doing instinctively. But, perhaps, we didn’t give much regard to those that couldn’t and probably were, at times, quite cruel to them.

However, as always, our group understands that the world has changed a good deal since we were young and it is unfair to compare the worries of today with the more carefree attitude we were able to take to parenting.

The advance of technology despite its many advantages, has also added apprehension and fear to our lives and some of the innocence of childhood has been eroded.

We appreciate how lucky we were.

JOHNNY CASH

NOT ONE T O BE PIGEONHOLED! Most people would call Johnny Cash a Country Music artist, and that was his recording and chart success mainstay.

But his first recordings back in 1954 (at Sun Records Studio’s - where he met and jammed with Elvis Presley) were “Rockabilly,” while his focus prior to going into the studio had been “Gospel music.”

He was also famous for a sprinkling of novelty songs, most notably his 1969 hit “A Boy Named Sue” which peaked at number 2 on the Australian charts.

But there was a very serious and very brave side to his personality that saw him take up the issue of the mistreatment of America’s First Nations people.

In 1957 he wrote a song called “Old Apache Squaw,” but Columbia Records wanted him to stick to the popular country music themes and buried it.

Then in 1964, on the back of strong success, he released the LP “Bitter Tears: Ballads of the American Indian.”

It was not taken up by radio though, which angered him.

He famously took out a full-page ad in “Billboard” magazine asking the simple question, “Why?” It was part of an American Folk Music period for Cash, with strong links to singer songwriter Peter La Farge (writer of many of the songs on “Bitter Tears”), Pete Seeger and Bob Dylan.

Through the last part of the 50s, and well into the 60s, Cash had an amphetamine, barbiturate and alcohol addiction.

If anything, his addictions, along with his outspokenness, helped create around him a slightly dangerous image 26 JANUARY 14 — 20 , 2021

which made his “Outlaw” persona easy to present in subsequent years.

It led to a friendship that lasted the rest of his life and solidified his faith.

On seven separate occasions he found himself in gaol for one night, but he was never sentenced to a prison term.

He also developed friendships across both sides of United States politics, with Richard Nixon being someone with who he spent quite a bit of time, but his relationship with Jimmy Carter was strongest.

But his connection to the prison populations of the US and around the world was well known following his famous Falsom Prison sessions in 1968, which was a decade after he first played to a prison audience in 1958 at San Quentin.

The prison connection and addictions problems also tied into the “Man in Black” period of his career.

Some fans argue that the 1971 song “Man in Black” summed up Johnny Cash better than any print article, book, movie or documentary.

They point to the lyrics – “I wear the black for the poor and beaten down, livin’ on the hopeless, hungry side of town… I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime but is there because he’s a victim of the times… I wear the black for those who’ve never read or listened to the words that Jesus said… I wear it for the sick and lonely old, for the reckless ones whose bad trip left them cold… Well there’s things that never will be right... But ‘til we start to make... a few things right, you’ll never see me wear a suite of white.”

Words to live by!

Throughout his life Cash had flirted with a return to his Christian faith, but drifted in and out.

Then at the end of his television show’s three-year run, which was from 1969 to 1971, he had a gospel music special that included guest Billy Graham.

President Carter was a distant cousin to his second wife, June Carter.

The 70s saw Cash cement his position as a true legend of music with record sales remaining strong and regular television appearances.

The 80s was much leaner in terms of record sales, but his tours remained sell outs.

In the middle part of that decade he found new success when he famously joined The Highwaymen with Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson.

He continued to work and remained successful after 50 years in the industry until his death in 2003, just four months after June Carter passed away And to sum up the advice to not pigeonhole Johnny Cash, keep in mind he was, alongside Elvis Presley, the only artists to be inducted into both the “Country Music Hall of Fame,” and “Rock n Roll Hall of Fame,” There was also induction into the “Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame,” “Gospel Music Hall of Fame,” and recognition from the “Rockabilly Hall of Fame.”

And there’s the 90 million record sales too!

There’s no pigeonhole big enough to hold Johnny Cash.

THUMBS UP and a very big thank you to Kaye McIntosh Audiologist @ Orange Hearing Aid Centre for the kind, caring and unselfish help she showed to my husband 90 years of age in need of a hearing aid to replace his broken one at minimum cost.

Many Thanks!

THUMBS UP to the delightful young man who delivered our new refrigerator from Harvey Norman when he was ready to sign off for the day. Nothing was a problem to him and your parents must be proud of you, a big thank you from one happy customer.

THUMBS UP and thank you to Helen McAnulty for providing such interesting ‘History Talking’ segments, to Melise Coleman for continuing to include beautiful photographs from far and near, and to the whole team at OCL for all your efforts throughout what has been a difficult year for so many. A great effort everyone.

THUMBS UP to Kate at NRMA Orange for her very helpful and friendly customer service.

THUMBS UP from the residents of Ascott Gardens who would like to thank the Orange Council for the wonderful lights in Summer St and the arch light in Robertson Park. It was a lovely way to finish off our Christmas Light bus tour, and coming down Summer Street just topped the night off.

Well done!

THUMBS UP to the lovely neighbour in North Orange who stood my bins back up after they were blown over by the severe storm on the afternoon of Wednesday 16.

Thank you!

BIG THUMBS UP to Belinda, our exercise lady at Calare Aged Care, for coming in on New Year’s Day to do our exercises which we all like, everybody have a happy new year!

THUMBS UP Huge thanks and appreciation to CEO David Waddell at Orange City Council, and Nigel and his crew, and the fine men and women from Orange Police Station for their prompt, professional and empathetic response to a recent spate of crime in Dora St. We know that our beautiful town is in good hands. Thank you sincerely. I hope those people who think it is ok to burgle, maliciously damage, steal and create fear in our town find other ways to amuse themselves, you are cowardly and could be so much better. And be clear, you will be caught.

THUMBS DOWN to those inconsiderate drivers who race around the outside of the Leash Free Dog Walking Area in the Showgrounds while their pets chase the vehicle on the inside. Think of others guys..........there are children and other pets using this area. Not to mention the dust you kick up. I’m sure this is not what the area is designed for – it’s a Leash Free Dog WALKING Area.

SHOW US YOUR THUMBS!—SMS: 0459 022 084 STANDARD SMS RATES APPLY // EMAIL: RECEPTION@OCLIFE.COM.AU // FACEBOOK: INBOX ‘ORANGE CITY LIFE’

THUMBS DOWN to the ute who was parked at the entrance near Dominos at Orange Woolworths at 12:30pm on the 27th of December 2020. You can’t exit out of the entrance way of the Woolworths near Dominos. You nearly scratched my car going out, and It also didn’t look like you cared about other cars going in the RIGHT DIRECTION and hitting them either. Go back to the RTA and retry getting your licence.

THUMBS DOWN to the inconsiderate woman in Woolworths parking lot on Wednesday 23rd at 3:45pm who left her shopping trolley in front of my car and was too lazy to return it to the shopping bay.

A BIG THUMBS DOWN to the dog walker who on Wednesday morning allowed their large dog to do its business out the front of the Orange Post Office and didn’t bother to clean it up. You want the pleasure of owning a dog but dare to expect other people to clean up after it.

BIG THUMBS DOWN to the owner of a local removalist who verbally abused me over the phone for asking about the removal truck blocking my driveway. The behaviour was uncalled for and I hope karma comes for you.

THUMBS DOWN to the immature kids who stole my green P plates off my car on Saturday afternoon. Just because you’re on school holidays doesn’t mean you can touch other people’s property.

THUMBS UP to the young man in a wheelchair who appeared out of nowhere in the North Woolworths car park when I’d finished loading my rather large amount of Xmas groceries into the car and offered to take my shopping trolley back to the trolley bay. Being a tad stunned, I accepted his ridiculously amazing offer. And so I stood gobsmacked watching, as he scooted to the trolley bay, with my empty trolley, a smile on his dial, shouting “You have a Merry Christmas.” This isn’t a young man with a disability, this is a guy with super abilities, spreading his Christmas cheer!!!!! It made my year, really!

THUMBS UP It will be Thumbs Up for Orange City Council if they keep going with the new tree’s they have planted in the median strip of Woodward Street. With now a middle of different colours, cannon lilies and around the outside a row of different coloured bulbs, it will make Orange look the goods as the Colour City.

THUMBS UP to the lovely young gentleman whom returned my husband’s phone/wallet, after he left it on the roof of his car and drove off. Thank you it was sincerely appreciated that you went out of your way to return it.

☺

THUMBS UP to our neighbour who keeps mowing our front lawn, thank you!
