“No one “Trick or Treat” should die alone”: Warren does Halloween! Warren Palliative Care celebrates 35 years By TESS VAN LUBECK

By TESS VAN LUBECK “NO one should die alone.” This is the important mantra of the Warren Palliative Care group, which marked 35 years of serving the community with a special lunch at the WOW Centre recently. The group enjoyed lunch and a cake, with spokeswoman Mary-Anne Brennan ref lecting on the work the organisation does to support those in the local community who are nearing the end of their lives. Palliative care is a very special type of caregiving, and not well understood. “Palliative Care recognises the unique needs of a person who is approaching and reaching the end of their life, as well as the needs of their family and carers,” according to Palliative Care NSW, the state’s peak body for this type of caregiving.

THERE were unprecedented scenes last Thursday evening as Warren was overrun by hordes of pirates, zombies, princesses, clowns, and even a possessed sheep! The group seized the Warren Youth Centre as their headquarters, and set-off around town to terrorise locals. Infi ltrating front-yards, they demanded lollies and chocolates. Many residents, fearing for their lives, chose to cooperate by making a sugary peace offering before barricading themselves back indoors. Though some, like local witch Jacqui Lomas, were in their element. She explained her devilish tactics to The Warren Star. “I sit very still in my yard, candy beside me and pretend to be a witch mannequin,” Jacqui explained. “I wait until they approach [for the candy] then I spring to life and they run squealing down the street. I made one kid cry!” she cackled. Next Halloween, locals are advised to arm themselves with confectionery and place a balloon in their yard to curry favour with the trick or treaters.
