We certainly saw a lot of weather this past weekend; cold, wet, and windy one day, beautifully sunny the next! After being confined indoors with a little too much screen time on Saturday, the family and I made the most of the warm weather on Sunday to hike along Summer Hill Creek at Ophir. A very pleasant way to spend the afternoon, even if it did require me carrying a wriggling three-year-old like a football for most of it.

But one “weather” event I certainly wasn’t expecting, was for it to rain spiders! “Dad, what’s all this string in the sky?” My nine-year-old called to me from the backyard on Sunday. Stepping outside, I found he was right. White threads filled the sky, glinting in the sun for as far as you could see. I’d never seen spiders “ballooning” before, but it’s pretty remarkable. Releasing a length of silk, young spiders are able to get airborne and travel thousands of kilometres. And what’s even more remarkable than that, is it seems they do so by making use of our planet’s electric field!

Spoil Mum this Mother's Day...

While it was a fascinating sight, thankfully the ballooning spiders weren’t in large enough numbers to completely “white out” the town with webs as happened in Victoria’s Gippsland Region last year! On Saturday, I was fortunate enough to be part of a very special moment at the Orange Ex-Service’s Club. It’s an unlikely series of events, but more than 50 years since they were stolen, a family were reunited with their father’s war service medals after they were discovered in our local RSL’s museum collection. You can read the whole tale inside.

STOLEN MEDALS RETURNED to family after 50 years — JONATHAN ROE —

There were emotional scenes at Orange Ex-Services’ Club last Saturday as the war medals of Private Ronald John Flood were returned to his family; more than 50 years after they had been stolen. In 1970, thieves broke into and ransacked the Flood family’s home in the Sydney suburb of Penshurst, stealing, among other items, the war medals given to Robert Flood for his service in New Guinea during the Second World War.

“Yeah, he thought on a number of occasions that the whole thing was a scam and was asking some, pretty pertinent questions,” recalled Terry, who wanted to ensure he had the right family before handing the medals over.

What happened to them in the 50 years since, is still a mystery but, in February this year, they were discovered in the collection of the Orange RSL sub-branch. Noticing the surname, the medals were mentioned to Orange Ex-Services’ Club Director, Terry Flood.

“Some people might want to just grab the medals and take them and that wasn't going to happen!” said Terry. “So as I walked him through the questions I had about the family and everything just started to click.”

“Ros Davidson, who’s the secretary here, rang and said that she had some medals and thought that they may have been my Dad's,” Terry explained. “I said, ‘well no they're not, I've got my Dad's’ but she said ‘could they possibly be a relation?’ I said ‘possibly, but I very much doubt it’.” Though Ronald John Flood was no relation, Terry decided he had to see these medals returned where they belonged and so contacted the National Archives in Canberras to do a little more digging. “To cut a long story short, I got his full record and decided to, maybe, just off my own back, make a couple of phone calls.” Over the next three days, Terry made dozens of phone

As unlikely as it seems, Terry soon found himself speaking to Robert John Flood, Ronald’s son. But Robert took some convincing that this was all for real. “I thought it was a bit of a hoax call, dead set!” said Robert. “I gave him a bit of, ‘Go away mate! You're pulling my chain!’.”

It was at this point too, that Robert began to believe Terry’s story. “We went through some details and it was my Dad! He told me what grandfather's name was — TA Flood — and he was correct! Then he wanted to know what his birthday was and I said, ‘Well, you’ve got all the paperwork, you tell me!’,” said Robert. “And anyway, eventually I told him the date and the phone went quiet… 14th of July, 1922. And I went, ‘well, It's serious.’ “I phoned [my brother] Graham and said there's a guy from Orange RSL, reckons he's got Dad’s medals up there and, here we are today, picking these up.” “It is all amazing that they've turned up,” added

Graham, quite overwhelmed. “ [Terry] he started looking for ‘RJ Floods’ and the chances of finding Dad… you know, he would have turned a hundred in a couple of months.” On Saturday afternoon, Terry and representatives of the Orange RSL subbranch and the Orange Ex-Services’ club presented Robert and Graham with their father's medals, which they had mounted for them, along with copies of Terry’s research from the National Archives. “It was pretty emotional,” said Robert. “Yeah, I showed you inside the club that… Yeah, I've got pretty emotional about the whole thing, about what has been done.

in a southern suburb of Sydney, end up in Orange? Orange RSL sub-branch vicepresident, Brad Bliss, had one possible partial answer. Medals in their museum collection, he said, had previously been found in a cupboard bought at a yard sale in western Sydney, but it is unknown if these are those same medals. The truth is, we will probably never know. “You wonder how they got here? The journey they've taken!” said Robert, who’s simply pleased that the 50-year journey is now at an end.

“Dad, as I said, he passed away in ‘91 of bowel cancer… and so here we are. It's amazing, isn't it! Terry was like a terrier dog with a bone.”

“We're pretty stoked to be able to come up here and pick them up and take them back home and I'll put them on the wall in my house, next to my dad somewhere… we'll find a nice spot in the house for them and they'll stay there, no trouble, mate!”

But one big mystery remains: just how did these medals, stolen over 50 years ago

Local knowledge

A Millthorpe teenager recently tearing around the dodgem cars at the Bathurst Show, ended up oversteering and suffered the common embarrassment of his vehicle going backwards in ever-decreasing circles. The “carnie” who then came to his assistance to get him out of the ensuing logjam, smiled and said: “You must be from Orange.”

Bigger than Bollywood — Indian films a hit at Odeon 5 — DAVID DIXON —

The Colour City’s population is changing; a fact now being represented in movies at the Odeon 5 cinema.

“Gonna” Hill delivers

Locals at the recent launch of former Public Service supremo David Hill’s most recent book on the court case for the victims of abuse at Fairbridge Farm were entranced by an anecdote about legendary Labor Premier, Neville Wran. Wran apparently called Hill his “Gonna” as he was the man who was “gonna” do whatever the Premier needed — such as combatting the chronic and financially ruinous overstaffing at State Rail — “firemen” were still being employed on each train in the late 1970s, a decade after steam engines had become redundant! Wade Marlow, said at the launch that, for the former mostly impoverished “inmates” at Fairbridge seeking redress for their wrongs, “David was their Gonna”.

Recent trial screenings of films from the Indian subcontinent have proven surprisingly popular for locals who would otherwise have had to travel to Sydney to see their latest blockbusters.

“We’ve had a couple of movies, it’s a fairly new thing we’re trialling here. There is now a large Indian community in Orange… 10 years ago, we weren't having Indian films on,” she said.

Indian filmmaking now represents far more than the traditional lighthearted “Bollywood” musicals with near full houses for recent screenings.

The movies, many of which are relatively big-budget, historical action dramas, have been drawing appreciative support from the local community in a range of subcontinental languages, many with English subtitles.

Odeon-5 Manager, Helen McBurnie, says that increasing interest in alternative cinema has seen the success of one-off movie events, rather than just the usual Hollywood Disney, DC, and Marvel spectaculars. “It’s basically because we’ve been approached by a couple of Indian distributors, we also have a local who has been booking screenings himself for the Indian community,” Helen explained.

“They’ve been going quite well, we’re getting 60–80 people each time… we’ve had some in Telugu, Malayalam, and Hindi, which is pretty much universal,” she said. “Because of the various languages, it’s a bit hard to know what to put on, we’ve even had some movies in Tamil with English subtitles.”

Seventy tickets had pre-sold for the film on an otherwise quiet Wednesday night; good business for the cinema and a great service for the Colour City’s growing subcontinent population. “Culturally, our countries are huge fans for movies, we love them,” Neel said. “It’s like a celebration when a big movie like KGF Two comes to the cinema.” For Rumpa and Kajal, having the film run locally allowed them to continue following the historical action series

comment

with DAVID DIXON

Mother’s Day, breakfast in bed, and phone calls before dinner Hard to believe it now, but The Simpsons used to be a uniquely funny and devastatingly insightful television show. One classic episode involved a group of retail executives inventing “Family Day”, so as to fill a hole in their annual advertising calendar. When truth-teller Lisa makes the observation about this “traditional” festival’s transparently commercial and artificial nature, Homer responds sneeringly, “You always ruin Family Day!”

Kajal and Rumpa Basak with Neel Carvalho at the screening for the Indian language film, KGF Two at the Odeon 5 recently. centred around the assassin, Rocky, and his rise to power on the famous Kolar Gold Fields, from which the film derived its title. “We had to go to Penrith, to the Westfields at Mt Druitt, to watch the first film. But it’s great to support screenings in the region. We travelled up from Bathurst for this one,” Kajal said. “These two movies are blockbusters, KGF 2 has broken all records and has been dubbed in Hindi, it has done that well,” Rumpa added. Fellow movie-goer, Sai Pavan, originally from Hyderabad in India, says that the local subcontinent population are supporting the screenings and appreciate the films being shown locally. Despite the commonly-held misconception of Indian films all being song-and-dance spectaculars, he said that India’s maturing movie industry is now

turning out a variety of films for wider appeal. “I’ve been here a couple of times for screenings; previously, we either had to go to Sydney or wait for them online. “This is an action film, very popular, a Tom Cruise-type of movie… like Mission Impossible,” he explained. With two years of COVID-19 lockdowns, restrictions, movie premiere delays, and film cancellations, the local cinema is now tapping a market of movie-lovers that previously had to travel to Penrith to see their favourite films in their native language. “The Telugu speakers, particularly, have really come out of the woodwork, we’re just happy to have the movies on,” Helen enthused. “They love them, they’re a bit Bollywood for me, but they get right into it,” she concluded.

I’d always believed that Mother’s Day began with one son’s suggestion that children should all buy their mother a bunch of flowers for one day each year to show their appreciation for the sacrifices that our main caregiver makes for their children. Retailers — finding the huge commercial success that the day had become once it had been commercialised with chocolates, slippers, jewellery, and dinners out — then instituted Father’s Day to replicate its success.

his first famous work on motherhood stating: “You know more than you think you do”. Up until then, it was increasingly believed that parenting was a definable area of scientific study with a series of “rules” on the best way to rear children. Rigidly set feeding and sleep times, controlled crying, firm and unyielding discipline, were all designed to create children that were fit for society. We know now that there are as many infinite needs of children as there are stars in the sky, and most mothers are now happy enough to muddle through with the age-old approach that served our ancestors so well. While it is said that the traditional breakfast in bed has fallen out of favour on Mother’s Day, my wife still enjoys it on the second Sunday in May. However, it now only consists of fresh croissants with ham and cheese, as my special scrambled eggs with chilli, cherry tomatoes, and onion, has abruptly fallen out of favour.

In Britain, the role of mothers is celebrated around Mothering Sunday, an old church holy day otherwise known as Palm Sunday, which commemorates the role of women in the church.

Our far-flung children are also expected to try and make the effort to return, although with the day wedged between Easter and her birthday only a week later, my wife must often suffice with a phone call.

Whatever its origins, Mother’s Day is a great chance to acknowledge the unique role that mothers play in our lives.

Judgement on each child’s affection to their mother is, however, weighed by how late in the day the inevitable ring comes through.

One of the great books on mothering was the popular post-war work Baby and Childcare by American paediatrician, Dr Benjamin Spock (not “Mr Spock” — the pointy-eared Vulcan from Star Trek) who started

Woe to the grown child who makes the call, no matter how busy their lives, after tea on Sunday night! Because no one keeps lists of their children’s complex, busy, and varying lives, more than a mother.

Wanderlust, fun, and iendship — CRUISIN’S GOOD DEEDS, GREAT MATES — DAVID DIXON —

The Colour City’s Cruisin’ Along Rally has just headed off for 2022; and it’s all for a good cause. This year’s trek through outback NSW and Queensland is the first for two pandemic locked-down years with co-founder John Davis along for this very-special ride that combines mateship, charity, and the unique pleasures of bush motoring. It all came about as a local version of a well-known “back o’ Bourke'' rally that raises funds each year for one of our great Aussie institutions, the semi-retired car dealer explained.

“We used to go on the Bourke ‘Outback Trek’ that raises money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service… we went for 30-odd years. And we thought one year, ‘why don’t we have one of our own?’.” Wanting to offer more locals the chance to enjoy the unique flavour of these events, and helping local charities, was the aim, Davis said. “It was myself, my brother, Terry, and Murray Horstman. We started this one in Orange, trying to get the Orange people trekking around Australia,” he added. “This will be the twelfth ‘Cruisin’ Along

Rally’, though we missed the last two years,” the former Orange mayor added. The fortnight odyssey takes the 25 or so (very) odd assortment of old ambulances, stretch limousines, classic Aussie cars, and 1970s roadsters, through bush towns from Conbobolin to Bourke, Cunnumulla, Charleville, Emerald and Roma: “We then come back through Lightning Ridge and Coonabarabran.” With the previous rallies having raised nearly $800,000 over a decade, this year’s money will directly fund clinical trials looking to find new treatments for cancer patients.

Putting the “Ag” back in our agricultural show Orange Show celebrates 150 great years at the 2022 event on Saturday, May 14 With just over a week to go, excitement is building for the 150th Orange Show, and early indications are it is going to be big! “Our ticket sales are actually up four times in sales from the same time last year,” said Orange Show publicity officer, Rebecca Blandford. “And something really evident is that people are coming from, literally, all over New South Wales for this event. So we're certainly very excited, and we can't wait to showcase what Orange is about.” With a one-day packed program of events on May 14, the 2022 Orange Show is putting a greater focus on the agricultural roots of our local country show. “Obviously, shows were created to promote agriculture, that's the primary reason for the show… so a bit of a slogan we’re using this year is, ‘We're putting the Ag back in Ag Show’,” Rebecca said. Last year, there were a near-record number of participants in the horse events, something the show committee are keen to build upon. “ And we have also introduced the bull ride which is

not something that has happened at the Show for quite a long time. So we're bringing that back, and we've also added a ‘Quick Shear’ in the mix, so it's a shearing competition. “We expect to be able to milk a cow at this year's Orange Show, which is not something I can ever remember being able to do, so I think that'll be a hit with the kids and probably the adults as well.” The show will feature tricking riding displays, working dog demonstrations and equine entertainment from trainer Sam Handford. “He's quite a showman, Sam, so expect to see some pretty good entertainment from him. And Hawkesbury Kelpies Working Dogs, they'll have a puppy pen there for people to be able to pat the puppies and learn a bit more about how we can use dogs on-farm — and how they're great pets as well, but obviously have different needs to say a Jack Russell or a Labrador. “We've also got the dog high jump competition. Diesel and Blue, the doggie daycare business, have come on board and they're organising a fantastic pet show for us

— I'm really excited to see that one personally.” To wrap up Show Day, there will be a fireworks display and entertainment from local country sensation Clancy Pye, just back from representing the region at the Toyota Starmaker Competition at the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Tickets for the 2022 Orange Show can be purchased at the gate, but are available online at a discounted earlybird price. Your ticket also includes transfer on a courtesy bus, which will be running between the Showground and the Orange Visitor Information Centre. “No more struggling to find a park at the showground, jump on the bus from the Information Centre from 12pm onward, and you'll get dropped right at the entry gate; If you don't have a ticket, it'll just be a gold coin donation,” Rebecca said. “So we're really excited for this one! We want to highlight again that it is a one-day-only event. It's going to be absolutely jam-packed with action and entertainment for everyone. “We've worked really hard this year and I think anyone who attends the show is

“Y r n private coach” ORANGE INVENTOR’S ANSWER

for the perfect golf swing — JONATHAN ROE —

t’s an idea born from teaching junior cricketers to bowl out bush, but Orange inventor Michael Middleton’s unique training aid, StraightShooter, could soon be helping lower golfers’ handicaps the world over. “The biggest problem in golf — when you talk to the professional teachers and coaches — the biggest problem is slicing and having your club-face open at the contact point,” says Michael, a former teacher with a background in biomechanics and keen golfer who now runs his own workplace health and safety business. Watch any elite golfer, he continues, and you’ll see they are holding their lead arm straight through their swing until just after contact with the ball. This is where Michael’s training aid comes in: The StraightShooter is a flexible device worn on the lead arm that uses specially calibrated springs to help correct your swing, keeping that lead arm in the right position and at the right time. “There's over 240 moving body parts

that you’ve got to coordinate in the golf swing,” Michael explains.

process for Michael. The idea first came to him, he says, while coaching junior cricket as a young teacher in Narrabri.

“So the aim of this thing is to take the lead arm out of play. Just get you better with your lead arm and that's what we're getting results.”

“I'm a Level 3 cricket coach — and still coaching and still madly involved with that — but years ago in Narrabri, I had a few dads helping me train these little kids and I thought, ‘How do we stop these kids chucking?’.

Michael said testing has shown wearing the StraightShooter improves golfers’ accuracy, distance, and consistency. And the feedback it provides develops muscle memory, so the perfect swing will soon become natural. “I prefer to say ‘muscle consciousness’; you practise it, then you automate — it's like learning to drive a car.” Michael describes the StraightShooter as like having a coach there to give you feedback every time you swing the club. “I was told 87 per cent of people don't have lessons and I thought ‘well, this is your own private coach’… the beauty of this is it's all about proprioception, your skin is your best sensor and this is designed to be tight to give your skin instant feedback.” Developing the StraightShooter has been a long, involved (and not inexpensive)

“So, we put a little cricket batting pad on, braced his arm, had him bowl, and he didn't chuck it anymore! And we thought there's something in this!” Realising the same idea was applicable to his golf swing, Michael got to work on a prototype and eventually released a commercial product — the StraightShooter.

and the small people are saying it's too big for us… “So I've spent the last couple of years, really the last 12 months, scrambling, upgrading all the dimensions and the spring tensions.” Now available in four sizes and with a number of investors behind him, Michael is looking to expand production of the StraightShooter and has his eyes, especially, on the US market. “My dream is probably more to be a product developer,” said Michael, adding that he has already had interest in his idea from other sporting circles.

“If I'd had a half a million dollars, you know, 10 years ago, this would be done,” he said.

“A tennis coach, who I know, he rang and said, ‘can you make one for tennis?’ And what about your baseball or a softball… and I've already got interest to go back into cricket… lawn bowls too. I got all these bloody ideas, but we’re just trying to get this one out first.

“But we prototyped and played with them and came up with this basic design. No sooner had we put out this one — and it fits, most average people — but then the bigger blokes are saying it’s too small

“We’ve got patents here in Australia, USA, Japan and five countries in Europe. At the moment we’re tweaking, cleaning it up, getting it ready for bigger production runs.”

Sometimes, there is such a thing as a free lunch. Still, it came as a bit of a surprise to a number of people who grabbed a bite to eat at the Green Apple Sandwich Bar last Thursday when they were told that their money was no good. “A kind-hearted gentleman gave me $100 and said ‘can you pay it forward, you know, give away $100 worth of food or drink’,” said Green Apple Sandwich Bar owner, Kristine Maclean. “So I just said to the next 10 or 15

customers, that lunch is on him and then I tell everyone, to ‘pay it forward’ in their own way.” Not that Kristine was keeping a close count on the money, choosing to pay a little forward herself. “Well, I always go a little bit over,” said Kristine, explaining that this is not the first time that particular customer has made a generous donation, and all without seeing the little bit of joy that it brings.

“It makes their day, especially the older people, the pensioners that may not have as much money as others, so it is really lovely what he does. It's unusual!”

people look for opportunities to make someone’s day a little brighter?

For those unaware, last Thursday (April 28) was Pay It Forward Day — a global initiative to encourage small acts of kindness that, when multiplied by millions, really can change the world for the better.

“There was one couple and this is going back to the last time he did this, she ended up getting bunches of flowers and gave them out to her neighbours and took them around to make their day.

Imagine a world where everyday

And paying it forward it does catch on, said Kristine.

“It's sweet… and it is good to see when people do carry it on.”

No Double Duty [Conformity] Section 8 Duties Act 1997 (NSW) provides that no double duty will apply in the event that a transfer is made in conformity with the contract. This means that a purchaser desirous of having a different ultimate transferee than the person named in the exchanged contract must strictly comply with the requirements of the Duties Act otherwise double duty may apply per Section 18 Duties Act 1997 (NSW), and this impost may be very significant. The Act outlines that the spouse of a person may be the ultimate transferee and thus obtain the no double duty benefit. In the event that a purchaser clearly nominates the ultimate purchaser (transferee) within the contract then this will also comply with the very strict requirements for the no double duty benefit to apply. Revenue NSW have issued DUT 010 v2 outlining the requirements for no double duty. Get it wrong and the duty imposed may be effectively doubled which may be significant.

Orange Station keeping the conversation on track

Local Rail R U OK? Day organiser, David Rome with station manager, Michael Herft

Orange Railway Station staff recently joined rail workers from across Australia and New Zealand in taking a moment to ask, “Are you OK?” The industry-driven ‘Rail R U OK? Day’ is held each April and is about encouraging rail workers to recognise that colleagues could be going through tough times and encouraging them to speak up about it. “We have Rail RUOK Day just for the industry — the main RUOK Day is held in September — I think because there's a lot of mental health issues out there in our industry,” senior customer attendant and local organiser, David Rome said. “A lot of the drivers, they can have unfortunate incidents with people running onto the track, cars running through crossings and, staff in the Sydney metropolitan area, they deal with a lot of people that have mental health issues. “It’s to get out there and keep the conversation going, ask ‘Are you OK?” because a lot of staff aren't.” Passengers at the station also got involved with David and staff putting on a morning tea ahead of the arrival of the XPT from Sydney.

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? Older pets can bring us so much joy but they need a little extra love and care, to keep them fit and healthy and enjoying their “senior” years! Your senior dog will be calmer and more in tune with the routine of the household. An older cat will be less inclined to climb 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.

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 metabolic rate tends to slow down as

The correct balance of nutrients is essential for staying healthier for longer. Your senior pet’s diet needs to be correct for his or her life stage and for any medical condition, so switching to a specialist pet food can make a big difference to your pet’s wellbeing. Talk to any of our team about how to introduce a new pet food, which will suit the needs of your senior cat or dog. Early detection helps treatment! At Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital we can analyse a small blood sample from your senior pet to check on kidney, liver and thyroid function, and give the right care before more serious illness develops. Take advantage of our offer this month to give your older pet “gold standard” care. Does your cat not groom herself as she used to, or have trouble using the litter tray? Has your dog changed his eating or sleeping habits, or seem more tired than usual? Does he fall behind on walks or have new lumps or bumps on his skin? Make an appointment with Dr Judith and her team at Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital for a FREE senior pet check-up this month. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Pets are living longer these days, due to improved medications, and thanks to vaccinations which protect them from diseases. With increasing age, your pet may become a little less active. This might be 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.

he or she ages, just like us humans! If your pet is overweight, he or she has an increased risk of joint pain or arthritis. Did you know that Mulberry Lane Vet Hospital offers your pet free weigh-ins and nutrition advice? Just come and see one of our friendly nurses.

MOLONG CUP CENTRAL WEST DISC GOLF TOURNAMENT

Donato’s Diary Got myself into a bit of mischief on Easter Monday and ended up with a bad fracture to my second toe of my left foot, surgery and a couple of days in Orange Hospital. Hopefully by sharing my story this will prevent others making the same stupid mistake I did. The orthopaedic surgeon who operated on me said that it is surprisingly a common injury he treats and repairs in theatres across Orange & Bathurst. Whether it be people connecting boats, caravans and camper trailers, box trailers etc. Golden rule- always leave jockey wheel down, that should be the absolute last thing to bring up and secure when hitching a trailer. Don’t rush or take short cuts. Wear steel cap shoes/boots. Always leave jockey wheel as the last thing to secure, once trailer is properly hitched/ secured/ safety chained to vehicle. This is all safety 101. But worth reminding people. I am so angry and annoyed with myself for allowing this happen. I usually try and be as safe as possible, but no-one is infallible, we are all human and make mistakes from time-to-time. But this accident could and should have been avoided. So there you go folks. Hopefully by me sharing this it may prevent someone else enduring this sort of situation and injury. End result. Pin inserted. 6 weeks in a special foot sandal. Courses of antibiotics to prevent infection, limited mobility for a few weeks. But it should be ok. Lucky for me it wasn’t my big toe, driving foot, or that it hit slightly lower down on the foot where there are heaps of smaller bones - or that I didn’t lose my toe!

Popped out to Molong Golf Club a few weeks ago for the Molong Cup Central West Disc Golf tournament. Disc Golf is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Over 60 competitors from across the state converged to Molong to compete this weekend. I even managed to have the first fling of the disc to kick off the event.

AR-T WALK Augmented Reality Art Walk

Last Friday I attended the launch of Orange City Council’s Youth Services, Augmented Reality Art Walk (AR-T WALK) app. The app and virtual art trail exhibit art created by young people of Orange. The project, in partnership with the Australian Government, has been developed to showcase young peoples’ artworks that often depict and explore themes to increase tolerance, inclusivity and diversity. The app unlocks a new reality and allows viewers to experience art differently and hear the artist’s story behind the creation of the work.

MR PERFECT BBQ

Well it was a cool morning at Cook Park in Orange for the monthly Mr Perfect BBQ for Men’s Health on Sunday. With my co-host Glenn Floyd at the helm, the gathering of men happily traded in the standard snag for a warm coffee. As many of you know, I’ve been raising awareness of mental health and suicide and I’m doing whatever I can to help save lives and improve the psychological well-being of people in the community. These free BBQ’s provide a space for conversation, support and friendship. It’s important we always look out for one another.

The goodenough parent with Emily Thompson

The end of the beginning “Can I get my hair cut?” asks Miss Seven, eyes still full of tears from our daily battle with her hairbrush. I have yet to meet a detangling hairbrush that can live up to its “no more tears” promise, so nobody in our house enjoys this process. I assure her it’s a great idea and book her in at “Tangled”. But, as I run my fingers through her waist-length wispy-blond hair, I try to convince myself that it is a good idea and that I’m ready to see her get a grownup hairstyle. I let her know they will use her hair to make a wig for someone who needs it. We have a haircut success and, although slightly disappointed she doesn’t get the wig made for her, (“I could use it as a disguise!”), she loves her new grown-up, shoulder-length bob. On the way home the Elsa/ Anna duet ‘For the First Time in Forever’ from the movie Frozen came on. I turn it up and call to Miss Seven: “Are you ready?” Since she was 18 months old we’ve sung this as a car karaoke duet — with her as Elsa, obviously. In the beginning, she wore a sparkly Elsa dress and a wig and I had Anna plaits and a headband. She grew out of the dress last year and the ice-blond wig was lost long before that, still, we always sing.

I’ve always enjoyed seeing my children grow up. I’ve certainly never been nostalgic for them as babies and, while I miss snuggles, the sleepless nights can stay in the past where they belong! It’s just so wonderful seeing their world expand rapidly as they hone their motor skills, master language, and learn all day, every day. The problem is that it happens so fast. Bonds Wondersuits replaced by tutus, replaced by jeans, replaced by black tights. Baby food replaced by chicken nuggets, replaced by lasagne, replaced by sushi. The Wiggles replaced by the Frozen soundtrack, replaced by Taylor Swift, replaced by David Guetta. And suddenly, one day the baby who spent a year in your arms, is a high-schooler with short, funky hair where pigtails once lived. And they’re taller than you. So I put on Pink, knowing that Frozen will never be requested again and remind myself that it’s okay. I’ve done a goodenough job raising two little girls that now I can happily watch them grow: Big girls, then to teenagers, to women.

But not today. “I don’t feel like singing this song Mum. Can you put on Pink?” She says this while casually flipping her short hair over her shoulder, like the words aren’t a dagger to my heart. They cut deeply because what she actually said was: “Mum, we’re moving on from a big part of my childhood, and we’ll never go back to it because today, without any warning

whatsoever, I’m more grownup than I was yesterday.”

We arrive home and, spurred by her exciting morning, she asks if we can play Barbie makeovers. We grab out the dream house, scissors, and a packet of textas, and get to work with our newly-learned hairdresser skills. It’s so much fun with lots of hilarity over the colours and styles we produce that even Miss 13 joins in. This is what we’re down to now; just a little bit of childhood left. A few moments of joyous, immersive play. I’m going to be grateful for every minute of it. MAY 05—11, 2022

Lily, Willow & Mary Rupapera with Petah & Bernie Duffy

Duffy family reunion in Borenore — CEC TILBURG —

Bernard and Petah Duffy celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary at their home in Borenore on Sunday, April 24.

Lily, Willow & Mary Rupapera

Bernard and Petah were married at the Catholic Church in Borenore on April 24 in 1969 and returned to Borenore to live in 2005. The occasion reunited the Duffy family with all seven children and 17 of 18 grandchildren returning home to the farm at Borenore. Bushwalks, barbeque, bonfire, kick football and a game of “spotlight” created cheer and entertainment among the grandchildren. A highlight for all centered on a visit by daughter Mary Rupapera and granddaughters Lily and Willow from Auckland, who have been separated from them since January 2020. Adding to the festivities was the birthday of Bernard (who turned 73 on Anzac Day).

Petah & Bernie Duffy

The extended family attended the Borenore ANZAC ceremony to commemorate local service personnel and, in particular, Bernard’s father Kevin Duffy Snr who served in World War II. This year, for the first time, the New Zealand National Anthem was included in the service and was proudly sung by the Rupapera girls.

• Childcare support has been increased to a record $11 billion a year, helping 5,400 local families, and we have increased the subsidies available to families with multiple children in care.

• Reduced petrol prices thanks to the Australian Government’s decision to halve the fuel excise

• Electricity prices have fallen 8% over the last two years and our policies have helped residents install 21,700 solar panels in The Budget also provided significant investments to help ease our region. some of the more common cost of living pressures, including: • Record spending on education, health, and the NDIS • Tax relief of up to $1,500 this year, made up of the $1,080 low and middle income tax offset and a $420 cost of living tax offset

Out of the thousands of books sold, there were some old favourites and surprising successes, she said.

“This money helps pay our costs and projects for the year; I’d like to give a big ‘thank you’ to everyone who helped and the public who have supported us, many of whom come every year,” Elizabeth said.

BORN OF THE PANDEMIC

The Dave Webb Project EMBRACES ITS HARD ROCK ROOTS

Making their 4 on the 4loor debut at the Victoria Hotel this Saturday, three-piece hard rock outfit The Dave Webb Project is an act more than 15 years in the making.

hen the pandemic hit our shores two years ago and life as we knew it came to a screeching halt, Bathurst musician and guitar teacher Dave Webb came to the conclusion that it was time he got started. Playing guitar all through high school, Dave had been part of multiple bands throughout his 20s and a full-time working musician for the past six years. But the lockdowns saw him reevaluate just what it was he really wanted from life. Now 37, Dave has returned to his rock roots and is keen to showcase his long back catalogue of original songs. “When things went into lockdown and turned kind of crap for a while I thought, well, if this is going to be life, then I'm going to do things I'm passionate about,” said Dave, who found himself writing new music as well as recording and self-producing

the singles ‘Sunshine’ and ‘Unfinished Sculpture’, songs he had written back in his 20s with his band Pilot. “So the first couple of singles they came out of were from a band I was in my early 20s… I’d missed those songs and I always thought they were great and I wanted to produce them in a way that I wanted them to be produced. “I guess, realistically, [that desire] had always been there, but it had just been put on the back burner, you know, you are supposed to have a real job and a career and all that sort of crap. Then there was that moment of, oh crap! Things are going to turn bad. But at the same time, it reignited that passion, that drive, and it really started to push me in the right direction.” Joined by former Pilot bandmate drummer Todd Brownlow and Kaitlyn Baker on bass, The Dave Webb Project was formed taking to the stage for the first time

in December 2021. Now, they are busy booking gigs from Sydney to Canberra and throughout the Central West. “The first single was released in 2020, but the band itself, we had our first gig back in December, so this Saturday is really only going to be our fifth gig as the band, but the songs are songs I've written over my career,” said Dave, who describes his music as hard rock, guitar-driven sound with an alternative edge. “By alternative I mean, think The Butterfly Effect or Tool… and it definitely has that 80s rock inspiration. My favourite band growing up was Metallica and you can probably hear that in a lot of the riffs, everything is very Metallica influenced. “And I love that 80s hair metal scene, I think it disappeared a little too soon!” Between gigs, Dave is busy finishing the

final track on his soon-to-be-released EP, A Second to Surface. “I'm calling it our pre-release tour,” he said. “We did a gig in Dubbo at Devil's Hollow Brewery a couple of weeks ago and we were just down and Frankie's Pizza in Sydney and [last Thursday] down in Canberra playing a headline show at The Basement, then obviously the 4 on the 4loor show and we just scored a gig at MoshPit Bar in Sydney as well! “We're pumped to be playing the 4loor!” said Dave. “I teach guitar a day at Orange Anglican Grammar so to me it is almost like a hometown gig. “So I'm very excited to get into town and play and it will be good to hear the other local acts that are coming along as well. It’s always great to meet these other amazing artists.”

Catch The Dave Webb Project at 4 on the floor at the Victoria Hotel this Saturday alongside Munted Loose Units, Fig Jam, and J-Lo V Plants Aligned. Music kicks off at 8.30

‘Waiting On My Turn’ MARKS NEW MUSICAL AGE FOR SMITH & JONES — STEPH ALLEN — A magical new song by Smith & Jones is taking fans on a journey of selfexploration through the Bathurst pair’s evolution into a ‘new musical age’.

“It’s very different, but at the heart it’s Smith and Jones, two voices singing together and I think we’ve captured that.

When Abby Smith, 35, and Sophie Jones, 31, began work on their latest album, recorded with Kris Schubert at The Boatshed in O’Connell, they kicked off what would be a fitting farewell to their ‘youth and naivete’.

“The songwriting has matured but so has our focus on capturing who we are.”

The first instalment of their first musical release in three years is a new single, Waiting On My Turn. “It’s quite different. The first two albums were a full production, with a full band in a studio environment… but for a long time, we wanted to be recording live – a traditional way to record where you stand there with instruments and play and sing. The performance is captured and that’s what the recording is,” Abby said. “The song is quite parred back compared to our other stuff. We describe it as maturing in sound and focus and how we want the world to see us.

It’s been three years since the duo released music, with the COVID-19 pandemic giving them a break from the world of singing and songwriting. “People have responded really well to Waiting On My Turn,” Ms Jones said. “To see people go on Bandcamp and support us by buying it was lovely. We had the opportunity to make that film clip with the octopus puppet – that was quite classic Smith and Jones. “I think people have come to expect some kind of quirky, left-of-centre things from us. The reception has been very good.” Smith and Jones, who met in a record store in Bathurst called Stop and Rock, first began their combined musical career through a community choir for five years.

They then went on to play gigs for two years around the Central West, recording their first album, Dark Gives A Way, in 2016 (released in 2017) and Something Worth Learning in 2019. The pair, who were performing at the Tamworth Country Music Festival last

month, have also released their own limited ‘Smith & Jones’ coffee blend. Waiting On My Turn is available on Bandcamp (https://smithandjonesmusic.bandcamp.com/track/waitingon-my-turn) and on YouTube at https:// youtu.be/q2euqv4hwrk.

Alice in Wonderland shines a spotlight on up-and-coming local talent

— STEPH ALLEN — This month, theatre lovers will have the production and it’s directed to a younger sort of chance to follow the white rabbit into a magical audience,” he said. world of fancy, with the production of Alice “It’s really good to be able to provide young in Wonderland bursting onto Orange Civic people with the chance to get on stage and Theatre’s stage. demonstrate their talent to an audience. Starring a line-up of young actors (aged eight to 22) from across Orange and surrounding towns, the production is shining a spotlight on our region’s up-and-coming talent and future stars.

“Sometimes they can get a bit starved of opportunities in Orange. There are lots of opportunities for dancing, but not for singing and acting, this is definitely a pedestal to develop in children around the Central West.”

Orange Theatre Company co-director Jack Daintith said despite some of the cast never stepping on a stage before or singing in front of an audience, the ensemble had proved its mettle in rehearsals.

The cast, including Orange State High School’s Natalia Wisse (playing Alice), began rehearsing at the start of February.

“This is the first time Alice has come back to Orange in 11 years. It’s unique in that it’s a youth

The other cast members include James Haberecht as the Mad Hatter, Daniel Stevenson as the March Hare, Scarlett Gee as the Mock Turtle and Olivia Casey as the Queen of Hearts.

Alice in Wonderland will be performed at Orange Civic Theatre from May 6-15 2022. For tickets, visit Ticketek or phone the Orange Civic Theatre on 6393 8111.

New app unlocks youth art trail through augmented reality Orange City Council’s Youth Services has launched an art trail designed to showcase the talents of Orange’s local young artists. The difference is, the artworks cannot be seen in real life but can be ‘unlocked’ through augmented reality and viewed on a simple smartphone, against the real-world backdrop. Users can download the free Unlock Orange AR-T Walk app on their iPhone, Android phone or tablet to discover the works. The app allows the user to follow a map and scan specially designed signs or ‘markers’ located around the central business district, which activates a three-dimensional framed

artwork, along with a description of the work by the artist. There are currently five artworks available on the app, with markers in the Civic Square and Robertson Park. The works are by young artists Jazzeal Kind, Marley McLean and Brandie Blake-McDonald, as well as group works by members of the Orange Youth Hub. Five more artworks will be uploaded in the next couple of weeks, with markers throughout the CBD. The app was launched by Orange Mayor Jason Hamling at an event in the Civic Square Southcourt, which included a demonstration of the program. “This is a great way of inspiring

young artists to get their work out there in a unique way and encouraging young people to become more involved in our community,” Cr Hamling said.

Financial Fitness powered by OCU Switch to a better deal to get ahead on your home loan As the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) considers increasing the cash rate, locals are encouraged to review their home loan and consider refinancing to secure a better deal with record low interest rates available right now at Orange Credit Union.

Winners are grinners at the recent Central West Junior Chess Tournament in Orange.

Good-enough Callan old enough

to win junior chess tournament If you’re good enough, you’re old enough, is a timeworn sporting proverb that certainly applies to eight-year-old Callan Arav, who recently cleaned up at the Central West Junior Chess Tournament in Orange. Showing that his seven wins and one draw out of eight games was no fluke, Callan’s siblings Jayden and Nathan, also picked up second and third place in the tournament with six and half wins each. Event organiser, Bevan Clouston, said that Callan’s win was a great result for a young player with a lot of potential. “For his age, he’s a very good player. He’s a competitive junior player who continues to improve quickly,” Bevan said. “I believe, also, that this is the first time that

he has finished ahead of both his brothers in a tournament.” The school holiday event, played under competition rules, was again held at the St Barnabas church hall and drew more than 30 junior players from throughout NSW. The best player award aged 12 and under, went to Sarayu Prakashbabu with five and a half wins out of eight, with the award for best player aged 10 and under, going to Patrick Moore with four out of eight wins. Best player aged eight and under went to Amelia Broadbent with two and a half wins with the best unrated player being Justin Fowler with five wins. Callan is the fifth-rated under 10 years chess player in the whole of NSW.

CEO, Andrew de Graaff said a common financial goal is to own a home sooner so Orange Credit Union has introduced a new home loan to give locals a head start. “Applying for a home loan and sticking to it for the entire 30 year loan term is no longer a reality, especially in this current climate of record low interest rates. Many people are seeking to refinance or switch to a better deal which could save thousands,” Mr de Graaff said. “Personal circumstances and external factors driving the market can change from time to time so it’s important to regularly review your situation and look for ways you can save money. Now is the time to shop around for competitive rates while the market is still at all-time lows.” To help the local community get ahead on their mortgage, Orange Credit Union has introduced a new Introductory Essential Home Loan with a super low 2 year variable rate for all new lending with a minimum borrowing amount of $350,000. Mr de Graaff said: “Our record low Introductory Essential Home Loan is one of the lowest available right now for self-employed professionals, those constructing a home or purchasing land, new home buyers and investors. This is a basic variable home loan with no unwanted frills such as, redraw and mortgage offset with a great low rate to reward savvy savers. Those who are committed to reducing their mortgage can make extra repayments with no penalty fees and no monthly or annual fees.” “Borrow up to 95% of the purchase price exploring our variable and fixed rate competitively priced home loans. The advantage with Orange Credit Union is the same low interest rates for both home owners and investors. It’s your new home so we believe you should have the same low rates whether you choose to live in it or not.” “For almost 60 years, Orange Credit Union has been helping people help themselves and each other. We understand that buying a home and applying for a home loan can be a daunting experience. “Our local lending specialists take the time to understand if your home loan is still working for you, and are by your side to guide you through to home loan approval. We help with a fast turnaround on decisions because our team is based right here with you in the region. If you are switching from another lender, we will deal directly with them so you don’t have to,” Mr de Graaff said.

around the schools Borenore Public School’s Bike Safety day Bike safety was the focus of a special day held last term at Borenore Public School. Year 6 student Mitchell and his father Joshua Granger shared their knowledge about mountain and road bikes as well as how to maintain them. Students enjoyed riding at school on different cross country tracks, balancing on the basketball court lines, and experimenting with eggs to demonstrate the importance of helmets. Using technology, students learnt about bike road rules through a website called “Safety Town.” At the end of the day, children received a tote bag donated by the NSW Government Road Safety Program that included water bottles, notepads, brochures and posters all about riding bikes safely.

CALARE PUBLIC

Calare held our ANZA C Day assembly at the end of Term 1. Ye ar 1 student, Jackson Moore performed a be autiful solo and was accompanied by our fantastic, combined choir led by Ms Parker. Each student in the sc hool donated flowers to lay during the cerem ony and a representat ive from each class carri ed them to the front. Thank you to Mr Hardy for att ending our service an d well done to Mrs Keed for the organisation. It was wonderful to se e so many smiling Ca lare faces at the ANZAC m arch on Monday! They represented our scho ol with pride and our leaders set a beautif ul example. Thank you so much for those students, sta ff and families who represen ted Calare so beautif ully. How lucky we are!

Lest we forget.

Bowen Public School Harmony Day is about inclusiveness, respect and belonging for all Australians and we enjoyed celebrating our cultural diversity at Bowen by decorating feathers to be placed on wings. 'While one feather cannot fly, together our wings soar'. Trials for the PSSA Western Girls Basketball team were held in West Wyalong and our very own Thalia was successful in gaining a spot in this team. She will travel to Tamworth in June to attend the State Championship. Bowen PS is so proud of your efforts Thalia, good luck! During our recent assembly, 1 Lilac were dancing, and singing “Way down in deepest Africa…in the shade of the Bongo trees, lived an elephant…her name was Louise. Now Louise was very fond of an elephant named Joe…” What a great performance, that was so enjoyed by our school!

Orange East Public School

Students and teachers from Mumbil Public School marched with members of their community on Anzac Day. The march began at the school and ended at the memorial outside the Mumbil Hall. The service included guest speakers and wreathlaying. Thank you to those students who were able to attend the commemoration marking the anniversary of the first key military action fought by Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War. The students looked fantastic and proudly represented their school.

We’ve missed the Orange East Public School community over the last two years, so It was wonderful to be able to open the school gates once again to the special people in our students’ lives. The school grounds looked wonderful, and the trees provided perfect shade for our families to picnic beneath. Students borrowed books from our library to read to their families, played games and enjoyed sharing the time together. You just had to look at the smiling faces of the students, families, and staff to see how important this day was to everyone.

Glenroi Heights Public School

Students and staff are honoured to introduce the Orange community to our beloved mascot, Burra. Burra was developed in consultation with staff and students over several years, as part of our Positive Behaviour for Learning program. Burra was chosen as kookaburras bring laughter to those around them and when you are lucky enough to spot a guuguubarra, good luck will come to you. Kookaburras mean respect and this links directly with our school values of the importance of being respectful, responsible, cooperative and safe. The kookaburra is a perfect reflection of our school as the students pride themselves on their Strong, Smart and Proud commitment to learning and their aim for Yindyamarra each and every day.

Stuart Town Public School takes science to the caves

From engaging with an interactive timeline of ancient landscapes and megafauna to digging for fossils, the ‘scientists’ from Stuart Town Public school enjoyed finishing up last term with a visit to Wellington Caves. Using magnifying glasses, brushes and tweezers the ‘scientists’ identified fossils that included tiny jawbones through to ancient bat poo! After the Discovery Lab students then explored the caves and were amazed when the lights came on in the Cathedral Cave to reveal a glittering stalagmite. Bringing the day to a close was a walk around the Fossil Trail and the Japanese Gardens. Lottie exclaimed she found ‘fossils everywhere and couldn’t wait to find out more about the giant mammals when back at school’ where students have been learning about living and non-living things in their science lessons.

ULTIMATE FRISBEE IS ON THE RISE IN COLOUR CITY

Photo: Marta Tomaszewski.

It’s a game often associated with fresh-faced kids bounding-around the quad of American college campuses — however “Ultimate Frisbee” is now gaining in popularity in the Central West. Thanks to the tireless work of former Sydneysiders, Brendan and Clare Stuart, this iconic American sport is becoming increasingly popular in the Colour City. “My wife and I started an ‘Orange ultimate frisbee club’ in 2019 after moving from Sydney. Playing the sport quite regularly down there, we thought it would be a good idea to set up a local club in Orange,” Brendan said . “Dubbo has its own, established ultimate frisbee league, so we don’t see any reason why a similarsized town like Orange, can’t have one of its own,” he added. Brendan and Clare now help run a social competition on weekend afternoons with participants ranging from 16-year-olds to adults of all ages.

During the weekly meet-ups in summer and fortnightly gatherings in winter, the club holds round-robin tournaments with the smaller 7-on-7 teams playing against each other. But there are also other competitive events that arise during the calendar year, Brendan said. “Recently, our Orange Snowflakes team participated in an invitational game against the Dubbo Meerkats. After a tough one-hour battle, it was great to see our side come away with the win against an experienced side,” he said. In what began as a beginner's social competition, the newly-formed ultimate frisbee side in Orange is quickly establishing itself as a competitive squad that can go toe-to-toe with some of the best teams in the region.

The Orange Snowflakes proved this with a respectable debut performance in last year’s Bathurst Stampede Western NSW Ultimate Frisbee tournament. “Last year, we finished 14th out of 32 teams competing at the Bathurst Stampede Western NSW Ultimate Frisbee tournament. “So, for our first time competing in the event, it was satisfying to see our Orange side perform well in one of the region's biggest ultimate frisbee tournaments,” Brendan said. With things looking up locally for this fun social sport, the Orange Snowflakes will be looking to go one better at their second appearance at the Bathurst Stampede Western NSW Ultimate Frisbee tournament on the weekend of May 21–22.

BARRACKER THE

Salary caps, player drafts, and sporting equality vs excellence Inflation, they say, will destroy a nation quicker and more completely than war, famine, or pestilence. So imagine what it does to sporting codes! Rugby league in Australia is currently having its second real-time lesson on the impact of increasing costs in 25 years. The first occasion was the Super League War in 1997 when two rival competitions tried desperately to outbid each other for player talent with Group 10 park footballers signing $70,000 contracts to play lower grade for now-extinct teams like the Hunter Mariners, Adelaide Rams, and Western Reds. The NRL is having a second taste now as head coach Wayne Bennett from the newly franchised Brisbane (Redcliffe) Dolphins flies around NSW, Queensland and even Victoria trying to buy off-the-shelf stars for the team’s 2023 debut season. This is why most football competitions around the world now have some sort of salary cap to stop clubs from bankrupting themselves in a never-ending spiral of increasing player payments. Ignoring the moral, economic and, frankly, Constitutional questions that arise out of business-created franchises limiting what professional sportsmen and women are allowed to earn, there’s a lot of doubts as to the efficiency of such artificial caps. For one thing, they tend to punish well-managed and run sports clubs, while rewarding the slothful and short-sighted. Far too often, a professional club that has nurtured and developed a junior for seven or eight years, has them snatched by another team that ignored its own junior development, but that has a suddenly free million dollars a season or so. Teams that are well-coached, motivated, and trained, and that enjoy premiership success, also have their playing roster revalued upwards by their opponents and the league, and find that they have to lose two or three of their rising stars to stay under the cap. Which, in the professional and

42 ORANGE CITY LIFE

highly competitive world of top sports leagues, is almost always enough to see the top sides come back to the pack and lose that winning edge. As premierships for professional sporting clubs is their rason d’etre (reason for being), it’s not surprising that stories proliferate throughout blog sites and sports radio shows of brown lunch-bags of cash, sisters and spouses being employed in highly paid “consultancy” roles, and flats sold cheap to mum and dad by a club sponsor to help with “relocation” costs. The major sports codes usually employ an auditor but, since the salary cap was first introduced in rugby league 25-years ago, only two major scandals have erupted, both of which were the product of leaks from within the organisations rather than fine forensic work from the league. In the AFL, there is also a draft where talented young footballers are allocated to clubs via a player points and trade system, which is designed so that the lowest-ranked teams from the previous year get the highest-ranked draftees. This creates a churn whereby teams at the top slowly slip down the ladder, while those at the bottom suddenly rise to become premiership contenders. Oddly enough, salary caps and drafts are products of the American college sports conveyor belt and are designed to produce a system whereby all teams are competitive every few years. If all this sounds like a way of rewarding mediocrity, in a sense it is. Teams in the AFL for instance, have been accused in previous years of “tanking”, losing games near the end of the season intentionally, so as to have the pick of the fruit in next year’s draft crop. If your ideal sports comp is one where every team wins a premiership every 15-years or so, then this system is fine. If the pursuit of excellence and the development of great sporting dynasties is more your bag, look to the football leagues of Europe where teams like Barcelona, Liverpool, and Juventus, can dominate for decades at a time.

AFL CENTRAL WEST, TIER 2 Rampant Bushrangers thump Orange Tigers Orange Tigers’ start to the 2022 season was not what they’d hoped for, suffering an 83-22 point loss to Bathurst Bushrangers Rebels in the opening round of the AFL Central West Tier 2 on a wet Saturday at Waratahs Sports Ground. The Tigers were very competitive in the ﬁrst quarter, matching their opponents with clearances and marks inside 50. But despite the harsh, wet conditions, the Bathurst Bushrangers Rebels eventually picked up their goal-kicking intensity going into the second quarter. It was during the second quarter that the Tigers started to fall apart, committing elementary marking mistakes and failing to string together attacks from the forward line. As a result, the Bushrangers Rebels ran away with a 36-point lead going into the break. The ﬁrst half domination saw the Bathurst side outscore the Tigers by six goals, a worrying trend that looked to spill

over into the second half. The home side improved in the first couple of minutes inside the third quarter, scoring goals to narrow the 36-point deficit. While it seemed like the Tigers were starting to muster a miraculous comeback, the Bushrangers quickly hit back with two more goals and three behinds to dampen the spirits of the home crowd and players. With the score locked at 65-21 at the end of the third quarter, things didn’t get any better in the final stanza for the home side. The Tigers suffered their worst period of the match, conceding three goals and failing to kick any of their own. The Bushrangers Rebels cruised to a whopping 61-point win, establishing themselves as one of the AFL Central West Tier 2 favourites. The Tigers face a tough trip to Dubbo this Saturday to take on the Dubbo Demons in Round Two.

Netball “sports cam” for new season start — CEC TILBURG — The start of the Orange Netball Association’s winter competition was held last Saturday, April 30. However, the early onset of wet, wintry weather, meant that most of the junior games were eventually called off. The Hawks Marvasti Security Division One team were one side though that started the season off, playing against the older and more-experienced OCNC Craig Harvey Mechanical opposition. The final score was 77/9, the Orange City Netball Club’s way.

but it wasn’t enough to prevent CYMS from finishing the job and securing two competition points. In the absence of captain-coach Daniel Mortimer, Orange CYMS are still playing some exciting and creative footy that is helping them secure vital points early on in the campaign. The competition favourites will take on Orange Hawks, who are also unbeaten, in the local derby this Sunday at Wade Park.

Rugby Union: Blowes Cup first-grade action >> Orange Emus bounce-back to beat Forbes Platypi Orange Emus picked up their first win of the season after an impressive victory over Forbes Platypi 31-15 in Round Two of the 2022 Blowes Cup at Forbes Rugby Club on Saturday.

a minute later off a similar cross; the attacker's header skimmed the post before rippling into the net. With a freefalling Orana defence, Waratahs almost found the back of the net on a couple of more occasions.

Western Premier League Round Four action Orange CYMS had to abandon their game last weekend against Macquarie due to wet weather cancellations for games at Jack Brabham Park on Saturday. But Waratahs still got their match in at Dubbo with Barnstoneworth United taking on Lithgow on a sunny Sunday. >> Electric Waratahs bounce back against Orana Spurs Waratahs are back to their winning ways after a convincing 3-0 victory over Orana Spurs on Saturday evening at Victoria Park, Dubbo. Dropping points to Parkes in the previous round, Waratahs had to step up their game against a tough Orana Spurs side who were themselves coming off the back of a 3-0 defeat to Panorama FC. Waratahs set a high tempo in the opening stages of the contest, playing quick football from the back and launching devastating counterattacks. The away side in their navy stripe, scored the opener in the 12th minute through Tim Kelly’s header off an accurate delivery. Kelly scored Tahs’ second goal just

But after a rough start, Orana Spurs finally settled into the contest and began playing some exciting football of their own. Down 2-0, the Dubbo side had no choice but to push forward and play a riskier strategy to get back into the game. Spurs threatened Waratahs' goal on several occasions, but the Orange visitors still led with the same scoreline going into the break. The contest continued to level out in the second half with entertaining end-toend action, but Orana couldn’t efficiently finish off their chances in front of goal. Weathering the home side’s attack, Waratahs put the final nail in Orana’s coffin when their forwards scored an easy tap-in with 12 minutes left. This solid performance puts the ‘Tahs back inside the WPL top-four, giving them plenty of confidence heading into this Sunday’s derby against Orange CYMS. >> Impressive Barnies beat Lithgow in emphatic fashion Barnstoneworth United secured their first win of the 2022 WPL season after easing past Lithgow Workmens 5-0 at Jack Brabham Park on Sunday. Following a heavy defeat against Waratahs and a draw with Mudgee, the Round Three bye proved just the remedy for this Barnies outfit to get their season back on track. Barnies dominated the possession and chances on goal in the first 45 minutes and, at half-time, were up 2-0. The red-and-whites kept the Lithgow keeper and defenders busy in the second half, with the home side eventually adding three more goals to their tally in

MAY 05—11, 2022

the final 15 minutes of the game. With Lithgow beating CYMS 5-0 in the previous round, Workies found themselves on the wrong side of a painful scoreline this time around. The dominant victory will boost morale inside the Barnstoneworth camp, before they face a difficult encounter with top-side Bathurst ‘75 this weekend.

Peter McDonald Premiership action >> Orange Hawks defeat Lithgow Workies to remain unbeaten Orange Hawks made it three straight wins after comfortably beating lastplaced Lithgow Workies Wolves 28-4 at Tony Luchetti Sportsground on Saturday. Following two impressive victories against Group 11’s Dubbo CYMS and Nyngan Tigers, the young Hawks side came into this contest full of confidence. The two-blues scored five tries to Lithgow’s one through quick movement and aggressive attack. This victory propels the Hawks into second spot in the Group 10 table. >> Orange CYMS charge home to beat Cowra Magpies Orange CYMS maintained their perfect start to the season, defeating a tricky Cowra Magpies 44-26 in front of a vocal home crowd at Wade Park on Sunday afternoon. Cowra's opening try inside the first few minutes raised a few eyebrows, but their lead was short-lived. CYMS’ Josefa Lasagavibau scored two tries in the space of five minutes and, from here on, the green-and-golds pummelled Cowra’s defence with three further tries to pull out in front by 28 points before halftime. The Magpies pulled some tries back in the second stanza to halve the deficit,

It comes as a relief for the Emus after going down to Bathurst Bulldogs in the opening round. The men in green were in a tight arm-wrestle in the first half, but the second stanza is where the away side really put pressure on their opponent’s defence. >> Cowra Eagles hand Orange City another defeat Orange City has started the 2022 Blowes Campaign with back-to-back defeats after going down to Cowra Eagles 32-5 in Round Two on Saturday at Pride Park, Waratahs. After a narrow loss to Dubbo Roos in the opening round, there were expectations that this young Orange City side would bounce back in front of a home crowd. Instead, the green-and-orange had a nightmare in every department against an efficient and organised Cowra team.

Netball is back! The Orange Netball Association season is back in full swing, but the ONA decided to cancel most of the younger junior divisions due to wet weather on Saturday. The Senior Women divisions however were back in action at Sir Neville Howse Stadium, Orange PCYC. >> Senior Women Division 1 Orange City Craig Harvey Mechanical girls thrashed a young Hawks side 77-9 in the opening round of the new season. The 2019 premiers — who lost their crown to Orange High Hornets in 2020 — have once again set the standard in division one. LIFE Studio caused an upset in the opening round after defeating 2020 champions Orange High Hornets 48-35. Orange City Our City Real Estate cruised to a 62-41 win over LIFE Studio West Eye in the final afternoon game on Saturday.

Change of venue for The Mark Drama

Orange Evangelical Church‘s dramatisa tion of the life of Jesus will proceed this weekend, but at a new venue. The Mark Drama recreates the Gospel of Mark’s account of the life of Jesus in a 90-minute “theatre-in-the-r ound'' production, using a cast of 15 members of the OEC congregation. The performances are done without props and costumes and are semiimprovised, in that while the words of Jesus remain true to Mark’s Biblical account, the rest of the cast learn the order of events and respond to them in-character, but using their own wor ds. The church previously staged The Mar k Drama five years ago, but planned this new production to coin cide with the opening of their new ministry centre on Cottonwood Way , just off Cargo Road. Unfortunately, construction delays have meant the new hall will not be complete in time and so all perform ances of will now be held at Orange High School’s Performing Arts Centre. There will be three performances of The Mark Drama over the weekend: 8pm, Saturday, May 7, and 2pm and 7pm on Sunday, May 8.

ITOR D E E H T O T R E T LET Family sacrifice in war runs deep for Wyllies I regularly enjoy the weekly “Comment” column in Orange City Life as, being older, it brings back similar memories of my own past experiences. Last week’s focus on family involvement in war service that ran in the Anzac edition of April 21–27 and was titled “William Joseph Dixon and the Dead Man’s Penny”, struck a note as, each Anzac Day, my own family’s service is again at the forefront of my mind. I am proud of the heritage of my own family’s service that began with my great uncles. Colin served in the 3rd Battalion, 1RAR being wounded at Gallipoli before recovering and then being buried alive and wounded at the bloodbath of Pozieres. He survived and was awarded a Military Medal and a Mention in Despatches. He was repatriated home in 1917 and, being the man he was, volunteered again in World War II, even though he carried shrapnel in his back and had a glass eye from his earlier service. His brother, George was a medical captain and, in 1918 on the north-eastern border of France, ran a regimental aid post for six weeks as the Germans, moving west, decimated those around him. He was awarded a Military Cross for his dedication in holding his post under fire and treating casualties from all sides. In the Second World War, both siblings in my father’s family and three of the six in my mother’s served. My mother trained as a nurse at Sydney Hospital, joined the army and served in Blayney and Cowra army hospitals. My father’s sister also trained as a nurse at Sydney Hospital, joined the army, but was killed when the hospital ship Centaur was torpedoed off the Sunshine Coast. One of my mother’s sisters joined the AWAC’s and served in administration and a brother joined the AIF and was in Milne Bay when the Japanese attacked. He was later obliged to return home to the family dairy farm, then considered an essential industry. My father served in the RAAF as a pilot. He spent most of his five years’ service in the northern part of Africa and in the wider Middle East and his log book shows he flew 18 different types of aircraft. On discharge, he was an instructor for both Beaufighter and Mosquito aircraft at Point Cook in Victoria.

COUNTING TO 100 Just like that guy on Sesame Street, ‘I love to Count’. Always did. From when I was a little kid, numbers were my thing. Fast at numbers, quick at calculations, maths was always the best subject on my school report. Not sure why, it just was. When I got to Year Six, my teacher, Mr Starr (“with the double-R”, as he would say) did a thing called ‘Tables Champion’ on a Friday, where being a quick-draw when it came to knowing what ‘nine eights’ were, was all that mattered. It was my fave time of the week and one of my fondest memories from primary school. As they do, topics of conversation were wide and varied as we ate our barbecuegrilled snapper (with a healthy dose of red to wash it down) on Good Friday. Can’t recall why, but at one stage guests at the table ended up talking about our early days at school — the great, good, bad and ugly. Now, as Paul Kelly says, memories fade, but some things from my younger days are still quite vivid. Evidently remembering stuff from long ago goes hand-in-hand with being okay at maths! Go figure. Back in kinder, we started the day with a prayer, as always, and then the next thing on the agenda was counting. Sister would pull down a spring-loaded chart that was concealed above the blackboard. She’d then grab her long pointer, and we’d stand as a group, there were a whopping 63 of us in my kinder class in Woy Woy. Pointer led the way; start at one, and head toward 100. I loved it. Lapped it up. Some kids, not so much. Woe betide anyone who didn’t join in at the top their lungs, though [just like the ‘woe betide’ that awaited anyone silly enough to tell the truth on a Monday morning and admit they didn’t go to church the day before – those who lied and said they did go (when they didn’t), didn’t have to stand against

the wall like the brave ones who told the truth, go figure]. Anyway, back to counting… every day we’d make it to 100, maybe that’s what stands me in good stead all these years later. I distinctly recall Sister telling us that we were really smart being able to make it to 100, because ‘the publics’ down the road only counted to 10 each day. Sheesh, I can’t even imagine what would transpire if somebody said anything like that today. I was in Grade One (First Class) by the time ‘The Count’ made his first appearance on Sesame Street. He overtook Ernie and Cookie Monster as my best pal from their neighbourhood. His counting feats were stuff of legend, and spurred me on to things like always demanding to be the ‘Banker’ when playing Monopoly, or converting things back from Metric into Imperial in my head, so I could keep up with the conversations of the grandparents, who did (and always would do) everything in the old measures. Whilst back then I felt lucky to be counting to 100, and not 10, like our counterparts down the road, I look back with a bit of horror and shame that things were so divisive in the early 1970s. It’s no wonder we’re still a bit broken in some areas like these, in the Lucky Country. I’ve always tried to use my ‘superpower’ for good, helping educate others in the wonder of numbers. One of my close mates is a Steve Smith disciple, so over the summer, I kept him up to date (almost on a ball-by-ball basis) as to whether his hero’s batting average had inched above or below that of Marnus Labuschagne, as the ‘lead’ changed on a regular basis. Now all I’m doing is counting the number of teams that have whooped my beloved Bulldogs – lucky I can count to 100.

LIFEandTIMES with ANGUS GIBB

MOVING My friend is moving house this week. It’s a long story that I won’t go into details about, but I will say this: moving is never fun. It is never fun trying to fit everything in boxes. I always find the last few boxes the worst, as you find yourself throwing all sorts of random things in together. Then there is trying to move furniture out of the house through doorways that were never designed to fit a sofa through. And after all of that, you have to do it all again at the other end as you unpack boxes in your new house. As I think back to all the houses that I have lived in over the years, the one thing that stands out to me is how each time I moved, I seemed to have accumulated more and more stuff. It is amazing how easily we find ourselves with more and more things. From the growing number of pot plants to the sprawling mass of Lego that is continuing to spread-out across the loungeroom at a fierce rate. We accumulate so much stuff in our lives. But it is not until we need to move houses that we realise just how much stuff we actually have. But the question is, how much stuff do we really need? What do we need to function in our lives? Western society is often so blind to our materialism, that we forget how much we have in comparison to people in other parts of the world. It is times like this that I am challenged to

think about the call to live simply. To think about what I need, rather than having a continual influx of more possessions. The thing is though, we love our possessions. Even if we won’t freely admit it, deep down, we find a great sense of worth in what we have. But will it last? I remember watching an interview with Denzel Washington and he made this remark: ‘You never see a U-Haul behind a hearse.’ What did he mean by this? Quite simply, you can’t take it with you (which, incidentally, is something I remember my Great-Grandmother saying whenever she’d break something). This idea really reflects something that Jesus said in the Gospel of Matthew in 6:19-21: ‘Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.’ Do we put all our hope, longings, and identity into the things we have thinking that this will make us truly happy? Or perhaps there is space to think about where we truly find meaning and purpose. Jesus offers a hope that goes far beyond the temporal things of this world by giving life to all those who look to him for their sense of meaning and identity. So, as you look around and see what it is we do have, maybe take a moment to think about where it is that we really and truly find our worth.

In the line It’s funny how in 24hrs one’s response to something can change. On our way up the coast for a holiday, my husband and I joked about toilet paper shortages. Our amusement continued with my in-laws as we light heartedly continued to joke about “panic buying.” Then we read about 3 confirmed cases in orange and the gravity and seriousness of what was happening hit us - It got real. Then events started to be cancelled, my churches youth group and kids’ program shortly followed and then we received the message that weekly church services would need to be suspended also. If the severity of things hadn’t hit home before, they jolly well did now! As I stood outside Aldi before the doors opened with my list ready to restock my pantry after being away, I pondered about the way God will return one day and prayed my hardest that people would get real about where they stood with Him and respond with the same level of urgency I was witnessing that morning. God is waiting for us to take Him seriously, are you ready?

How a boy’s lunch fed a whole crowd 10 2 — 8 APRIL, 2020

What was Jesus like? We can understand who he is, from the biographies that we call “the Gospels”. One story is about a great feast. Jesus was an amazing teacher. One day the crowds followed him to a quiet area. Think of ‘A Day on the Green’, where thousands have flocked to a place a bit off the beaten track to hear from someone they are passionate about. However, unlike ‘A Day on the Green’ there were no food trucks. So, as it grew late, Jesus’ friends encouraged him to send the crowd home. However, Jesus had compassion on the crowd and decided to feed them. Jesus’ friends searched and could only find one boy with his packed lunch – think of a big serving of fish and chips. Yet, amazingly, Jesus managed to split the meal to feed absolutely everyone – thousands of people. To top it off, leftovers were collected – 12 baskets full! So even those teenage boys would have had their fill! This story shows how much Jesus cares for people. Also, it shows how Jesus can sustain us like he did for those thousands. So seek out Jesus and find out the other ways he can sustain you.

“Where our customers are the heart of the community”

thumbs | OCLife Show us your THUMBS — EMAIL: tom@oclife.com.au | FACEBOOK: inbox “orangecitylife” | SMS 0459 022 084 this is a text only number STANDARD SMS RATES APPLY

THUMBS UP to the young lady who sang at the Dawn Service on Anzac Day this year. It was a great job and she had an amazing voice. THUMBS DOWN to the diners happily munching away at their breakfasts as the Anzac Day March moved down Summer Street. Would it have killed you to leave your “smashed avocado on Turkish bread” and chai lattes, for ten minutes, to honour those who served their country? I suppose that’s the freedom that our war veterans fought for, so that selfish people like you, can think only of their stomachs. No credit either to the coffee shop to be open as the march went by. Most of the town’s shops opened after the march, many not at all. They could have easily closed for the half-hour or so, as the actual march took place.

THUMBS UP and many thanks to Glenda from Big W for her outstanding effort to source a product for me that was sold out at the Orange Store. Big W, you are so lucky to have her as an employee!

THUMBS UP to Cr Kinghorne for asking some sensible and challenging questions at the latest Council meeting. Her questions raised some interesting points, and I would encourage other councillors to follow her lead and think things through further and ask more pertinent questions, questions that many of the community probably often wonder about, but rarely see asked in Council meetings. It was refreshing to hear Cr Kinghorne speak up like this and making a lot of good sense, too! THUMBS DOWN to those electoral candidates who have attached their corflute posters to numerous trees around Orange in every direction, with especially excessive numbers on the road between Bathurst and Oberon, and on public land also! As well as a terrible look for the individual candidates who claim to genuinely care about the environment, I believe this is also in direct contravention of the Electoral Act 2017 - Section 184.

THUMBS UP to Sound Advice and Central West Regional Music Officer Patrick Coomey for organising a thoroughly enjoyable and informative session on recording music. The three-hour program was hosted by Craig Honeysett at his Dotted Eight Studio in Orange. Also present for valuable input was Pat O’Donnell (Rolling Wheel Studios) and Tim Roebuck (Tim Roebuck Audio). Together and in a very informal manner, these four dedicated guys gave us the lowdown on what's involved in recording. The focus was always on getting the best outcome for the artists. My advice, keep your eyes focused and ears tuned for any future sessions and get along to one. THUMBS UP to Aidan's Excellent Carpet Cleaning, who came and cleaned my carpets last week. I have been renting for about 18 months and they have been there periodically on three occasions. The carpet wasn't the greatest to start with, but it looks better and better each time they return. Great job, and all at a great price.

THUMBS UP to the staff at Spring Hill Public School. When it is raining at drop-off and pick-up times, the Spring Hill PS staff go to the students’ cars with umbrellas to bring the children into school. Not only does this keep the children dry, but it also means parents don’t have to get younger children out of the car during the rain. Amazing service and such a wonderful way for students to start their day.

THUMBS DOWN to the gentleman walking his golden retriever through Cook Park, for not picking up after your dog. It’s so lovely to walk our dogs through Cook Park, and you clearly don’t respect this privilege. THUMBS DOWN to the state of “The Lone Pine” on Lone Pine Avenue in Orange. The middle of it has been either cut out or vandalised. How does this show respect to all those Australians who fought for this country, many of whom never came back? Maybe a new site with another pine tree grown from the original tree could be thought about. Somewhere where it could be looked after better and appreciated by more people.

THUMBS UP to Erika at the Ante-Natal Clinic at the hospital. She does an amazing job handling the clients frustrated about the long wait times. Clearly, the waiting times are out of your control. Unfortunately, being on the front line, you cop the brunt of the abuse, which nobody should have to take. From what I witnessed, you are an asset to the hospital and deserve praise. Handling emotional pregnant ladies, cranky partners, and all the while assisting doctors, midwives and, not to mention, the phone that never stops ringing. Keep your head up, you are doing great.

THUMBS UP to the students and staff at Orange High School. You have done yourselves and our city proud. Your involvement in our Anzac Day is a credit to you all. What an amazing cohort of respectful, talented teenagers. Congratulations to you all.
