Each day Parade drives along Bradwardine Road and passes the avenue of Living Legend trees.
The trees have been bare for quite some time, but the springtime weather has brought with it all the leaves.
It looks simply beautiful.
Not only do the trees honour some of Bathurst’s biggest contributors, but they also blend in well with the gardens at the cemetery.
As the trees continue to grow and bloom, the streetscape will only improve.
There is always a price to pay
PARADE was shocked to come across a confident thief while she did her grocery shopping on Saturday morning.
As she backtracked through aisles to pick up a couple of items she’d missed, Parade saw a woman casually take something from a shelf and tuck it away in her jacket without a second thought.
It was something Parade had never witnessed before and she hurried off to report the incident to a member of staff.
Unfortunately, it appeared the thief had left the store before staff could speak to her.
Whether a small business or a large franchise, the theft of goods is never an ideal situation.
For every person caught stealing, Parade would be willing to wager that several more sneak under the radar, costing businesses thousands of dollars every year.
It’s a shock to witness someone stealing, and you second guess whether you actually saw it, but Parade would like to encourage people to report the incident to someone immediately regardless.
Even if the person isn’t caught, at least the store is aware that something is missing.
Everyone wants...
THE Evans Arts Council exhibition and sale on the weekend gave people a chance to pick up a range of home-made items.
Can you guess what the most popular item was? The answer may surprise.
It wasn’t photos or ornaments, no, it was actually home-made jam.
