A FORTUNATE LIFE

By NATALIE LEWIS When a charming country boy met a bubbly city girl, an everlasting romance was born. And nearly seven decades later, their mutual respect and admiration is written all over their faces.

“She fell for me,” Ben Davis said of his wife Babette, who actually fell off a bike at Bondi when she met her future husband.

Today, they celebrate 68 years of wedded bliss.

Local MP yet to see Ice Inquiry results MEMBER for Dubbo Dugald Saunders has revealed he is yet to see the results of the Ice Inquiry which was handed down to the Governor on January 28.

It comes after the Shadow Minister for Health Ryan Park fired shots at the state government earlier this week for not making the report available to the public immediately.

Mr Saunders told Dubbo Photo News, “I am expecting to see the report in the coming weeks and all decisions will be based on what is supplied within that report.”

Mr Saunders expects a rehabilitation or detox centre within the Dubbo electorate will be recommended in the report.

FOOD BOWL OR ‘FOOL BOWL’ Katter fires up about the ‘loss of many things’

By JOHN RYAN IT was ironic that colourful Queensland MP Bob Katter was in Dubbo during the week that Holden died.

In town for a road freighters conference, Mr Katter also want-

ed to catch up with Barwon state Shooters’ MP Roy Butler to talk about how they can work together to help push back against what Mr Katter says is the ‘loss of many things’.

“I grieve for industry, I mean, we don’t make anything anymore,

we don’t make motor cars, we don’t make petrol, we don’t make textiles, footwear or clothing, we don’t make any whitegoods – the last whitegoods factory closed in Orange three years ago.

“We don’t make anything, we’ve gotta buy everything from over-

seas,” Mr Katter told Dubbo Photo News, pointing to the need for a collective of minor parties and independent MPs to offer some defence against monopolies and rampant free market forces.

Subsidised MRI scans for local patients

By LYDIA PEDRANA MEDICARE-eligible MRI scans will soon be fully subsided for patients at Dubbo Base Hospital, thanks to the arrival of an MRI machine and MRI licence.

In making the announcement on Wednesday, Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said this will add another dimension to Dubbo’s healthcare offering as he continues to push for improved services in the region. “Patients will now be able to access lifesaving scans at their fingertips for cancer, stroke, heart and other medical conditions,� Mr Coulton said. “I’m working hard to ensure people in the bush are able to access the very best of healthcare, and this new MRI licence is a great win for the region. “We also expect this will significantly reduce waiting times for Medicare-subsided scans.�

Dubbo’s MRI licence is one of an additional 20 the Federal Government announced in the 2019-2020 budget, bringing the national total to more than 50.

Katter: We’re not the food bowl of Asia, we’re the ‘fool bowl’ of Asia State Member for Barwon Roy Butler and Federal MP Bob Katter met in Dubbo on Friday. The pair discussed ways they can both push for a better deal for family farms.

By JOHN RYAN IT was ironic that colourful Queensland MP Bob Katter was in Dubbo the week that Holden finally died.

In town for a road freighters conference, Mr Katter also wanted to catch up with Barwon state Shooters’ MP Roy Butler to talk about how they can work together to help push back against what Mr Katter says is the ‘loss of many things’. “I grieve for industry, I mean, we don’t make anything anymore, we don’t make motor cars, we don’t make petrol, we don’t make textiles, footwear or clothing, we don’t make any whitegoods, the last whitegoods factory closed in Orange three years ago, we don’t make anything, we’ve gotta buy everything from overseas,� Mr Katter told Dubbo Photo News, pointing to the need for a collective of minor parties and independent MPs to offer some defence against monopoly or rampant free market forces. “I just think the Australian people have gotta be offered something. Our little party can’t offer Australia the turnaround that is needed, particularly in agricultural Australia,� he admitted. “There was a silly goon that ran around with a big hat on saying,

under our free market system, we will be the food bowl of Asia.

Food bowl of Asia? We’ll be the basket begging bowl of Asia,� he suggested. “We are a net importer of seafood, we’re a net importer of pork, it’s hard actually to find what the hell we’re not a net importer of. “This is a country that should be the food bowl of Asia but we’re the ‘fool bowl of Asia’ now – that’s gotta stop. (That won’t change) unless parties like our own and Roy’s start working together,� he said.

The maverick MP is calling for a return to government regulation to guarantee fair agricultural returns, along with properly run

farmer cooperatives to ensure the middleman profits go back to the farmers themselves. “For a hundred years in this country, every successive government knew that agriculture is a single desk seller (with) aggressive collective marketing, arbitration, whatever you want to call it. None of them believed in free market, not a single government in this nation’s history for 100 years believed in that,� Mr Katter said, yet he says now it’s just himself, independent Andrew Wilkie and the Greens who want to end the unlevel playing field. “We had arbitration in almost every single agricultural industry... and I believe the workers should have arbitration. I’m quoting Jack McEwen, by the way, who said, ‘I believe that the workers should have arbitration, they have a right to arbitration,’ and he said, for exactly the same reasons, ‘I believe every agricultural industry should have the right to arbitration,’ but that was before Woolworths and Coles got 90 per cent of the market.

Roy Butler said his maiden speech to parliament publicised his clear intent to work with anyone and everyone who could help the people he represents, and the giant Barwon electorate is dependent on agriculture. “I had the opportunity to talk to (Bob Katter) about some of the issues affecting people in my electorate and looking for common ground and things that he might be able to push, support or talk to people about in the federal parliament. “Look at what our similarities are, what are the things we both want to see happen and how we can support that from each end of the state and federal level,� Mr Butler said. “The idea that farms are just going to get bigger and bigger and turn into corporate entities – and we’re going to lose those family farms – that’s not something that I can accept and I don’t think it’s something that Bob can accept,�

Mr Butler told Dubbo Photo News. “And the idea that free markets are going to look after themselves, that only works when you don’t have market failure, and right now in a lot of parts of regional NSW we’ve got market failure and that requires state and federal intervention to correct that failure,� he said.

Loss of Holden is ‘deeply personal’

Golden West Automotive dealer principal Michael Adams says he worked hard during his career to become a Holden dealer – it’s something he’d always wanted to be – so this week’s announcement by Holden’s US parent company General Motors that the iconic brand will be axed in Australia has come as a blow.

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

By JOHN RYAN MICHAEL ADAMS is dealer principal at Dubbo’s Golden West Holden and says while he’s personally shattered by the news the iconic brand is being phased out, owners will still have access to a full range of parts and warranted service through the extensive dealer network.

“The rest of the business is Golden West Automotive so we have Honda, Renault and we have a paint distributorship as well – we distribute automotive paint so it’s not just Holden.

“Holden has been declining since the cease of manufacturing so it’s not as important a part of our business as it once was,” Mr Adams told Dubbo Photo News.

“We’ll be clearing stock and I think there’ll be some very good

value bargains to be had on the stock as we run it out. Going forward we’ll still run a spare parts and service business from this site and support the Holden product through warranty, parts supply and those sorts of things.”

Mr Adams said Holden has spent a lot of time and effort to have a program in place – he was vice-chair of the national dealer council at the time when they announced the closure of manufacturing in Australia.

“They put a plan together to maintain continuation of supply and that was unbelievably detailed, down to what they could continue to have manufactured, what was going to be manufactured somewhere else, and what they had to stockpile. They had that in place seven years ago so I’m sure that will just continue to

roll on, and they want us to continue as service and parts dealers.

“It’s a very small market in Australia compared to the rest of the world.” He said the right-handdrive vehicles needed for the Australian market make it even more difficult to compete. “Holden has just taken the line that they can’t get a return on investment and on what they need to spend to develop new products,” he said.

For a young bloke who grew up with the ambition to be a Holden dealer, the surprise news was a shock.

“It’s a blow to me. I started in the motor industry at a Holden dealership in Dee Why in 1986.

I always wanted to be a Holden dealer and I worked really hard to become a Holden dealer in 2000,” Mr Adams said.

“I see myself as a Holden dealer.

I’ve had quite a number of dealerships but in my heart of hearts I’ve always been a Holden dealer, and yeah, I’m at a loss as to how I feel.

It’s something I always wanted to be and it’s going to be taken away from me.”

Golden West Automotive is well known for supporting many local charities and sporting clubs across the city and Mr Adams said he wants that to continue.

“Obviously we’ve got to continue to make a profit and the only way we can support people is to make a profit.

“Dubbo has been very good to me and I see it as part of my corporate and personal obligation to make sure that I’m good to Dubbo,” Mr Adams said.

“We’ve been heavily involved in the community, I’ve been heavily involved with Rotary for a long

time, the Pink Angels, the rugby club, we’ve got some organisations we’ve had a long association with that I think do really good things.

“What we would like to see is some support. People need to remember that this is deeply personal for the 36 Dubbo people we employ here, this is going to affect their lives and they deserve your support – people need to support local businesses.

“If local businesses can’t survive they won’t be there to give you that local service. Buying something over the internet from some faceless corporation does nothing for your local community, it does nothing for local jobs,” he said.

Holden tragic says General Motors decision a tragedy

By JOHN RYAN REX RIDLEY is one of Dubbo’s best-known Holden tragics and he says the end of the company brand is the end of a long-running tragedy, not just for the Australian automotive manufacturing sector, but also for Holden fans nationwide.

“Very sad for me, I’ve been around Holdens all my life, that’s all I’ve ever owned is Holdens. I bought my first one when I was 16 and have never not had one in my possession,” Mr Ridley told Dubbo Photo News.

“I’m very much a Holden ute fan. I’ve had many, many Holden utes over the years – right from the EH through to a WB and VUs, and any and all models in between, V8s, 6 cylinders, the lot.

“I’ve got a lot of spare parts available, including older stuff from the 1970s for the H model Holdens that I keep for the car club type people,” he said.

Growing up as a young bloke in western NSW, Mr Ridley said every second young fella had a Holden ute of some description, for on the farm, as a work ute or to travel to weekend balls around the state.

“I always had two utes, one to go to the B&Ss, to play in, and the other was a 6-cylinder which was always full of tools and was my work ute. That was how I travelled all over Australia, always doing mechanical work, doing breakdowns. I never had a four wheel drive, it was always just an old Holden ute,” Mr Ridley said.

Back in the day, he said, you could be anywhere in the country in a H series

Talbragar expected to flood, SES warns

By JOHN RYAN A LIVESTOCK and equipment warning for the Talbragar River has been issued, with expectations that properties along the river will see low-lying areas inundated.

Dubbo State Emergency Service says land owners and farmers adjacent to rivers and creeks should monitor river levels and the weather, and: z If necessary relocate or secure farm machinery, irrigation pumps and other equipment. z Consider when to move livestock as roads may close early. z If necessary, relocate or move livestock to higher ground. z Never drive, ride or walk through floodwater.

Unfortunately the Talbragar doesn’t flow into Burrendong Dam which provides Dubbo’s water security, and hopefully this flush won’t see any deterioration in water quality downstream which will kill even more of our native fish.

Great to see the rain though, the green countryside has certainly lifted a lot of spirits.

Holden ute and know that whatever happened, you could always find whatever spare parts you needed.

“I did an oil pump out in the middle of the Pilliga Scrub, I had my mates Deasy and Muttly with me and I hitch-hiked to town, there was only one vehicle on the road in about three hours,” he said.

“I drove around town until I saw an old engine laying in a paddock, I stole the oil pump off it, took it out, put it on (my engine), got it going and drove home.

“On Monday morning I rang the bloke who I thought would own the

engine and told him what I’d done and he said to send him $30 and we’ll be square, so it all worked out pretty good, and that’s just one little story,” Mr Ridley said.

The long-time mechanic, who operates DIY Auto in east Dubbo, said he’s been following the story closely since the news broke this week that the US-based General Motors was shutting Holden down, and said it’s a massive emotional hit for Holden fans.

Retired Australian racing driver Mark Skaife said he was “battling to hold back tears” after

hearing the news. Another to pay tribute the car was race car driver Larry Perkins.

“There’s been a lot of comment already. I listened to “Skaifey” last night, and Perkins, and their comments on the situation, but as far as a fan goes, I don’t know what we’re going to do with Bathurst now. I mean, the rivalry between Holden and Ford, you haven’t got that competition there anymore so at the end of this year there’s no Holden anymore,” Mr Ridley said.

“I’m not going to be a Chevrolet fan, I can tell you that. I’m not a GM

fan, I’m a Holden man, that’s it.

“I just can’t see any way that I’m ever going to be a fan of GM because of what they’ve done to our brand, so I don’t know what I’m going to do.”

One thing he will do, is to continue buying and restoring Holdens.

“I’ve got a 1932 GHM-bodied two-door roadster, the first twodoor roadster ever built

by GMH – that was just after GM bought Holden out. It’s sitting upstairs and it’ll come back to life one day.”

Even though the company itself won’t.

Transport NSW responds to submissions on new bridge

By LYDIA PEDRANA

THE submissions report for the proposed River Street bridge is now publicly available.

It includes Transport NSW’s response to the issues and concerns raised by members of the Dubbo community.

In May and June last year, the concept design and Review of Environment Factors (REF) were on display for public comment, and Transport NSW says all submissions made during the display period have been responded to in this report.

The controversial project is part of the NSW Government’s $195 million commitment to ‘Building a better Dubbo’ and aims to ease congestion and maintain reliable access through Dubbo during the

flood.

According to the Transport NSW website, the 545 metre bridge will connect the western shore of the Macquarie River to River Street, travelling over the flood plain west of the river.

The project would also see upgrades to intersections at Thompson Street, Whylandra Street and the Newell Highway; the realigning of the Newell Highway with new separated lanes north of Whylandra Street; and an up-

grade to the Bourke and River Street intersection.

The new bridge has divided local opinion since it was first proposed as one of six options in the 2016/2017 New Dubbo Bridge Consultation Report.

Those against the project have described it as “evasive”, “flawed” and “a waste of taxpayers’ money”.

A Facebook group called ‘Stop the River St Bridge Dubbo – Troy Bridge Bypass now, not 2040’ is campaigning against the development, arguing that transforming the current Troy Bridge into a bypass would be “the better option for flood immunity and reduction of congestion”.

The report is available to view online at nswroads.work/dubbo with hard copies available to view at Dubbo Regional Council, Western Plains Cultural Centre, TAFE Western Dubbo College, and Macquarie Regional Library.

Transport NSW has placed ads in the Public Notices section of today’s local newspaper to announce the availability of its report.

Labor wants to simplify the way groups work with government

HEALTH

Work on Dubbo’s cancer centre commences

By LYDIA PEDRANA

By JOHN RYAN SILOED decision making, bureaucratic red tape and state government insistence on unnecessary process is killing social services in local communities – that was the take-home message from Labor Shadow Minister for Community Services and Disability Inclusion, Penny Sharpe, during her Dubbo visit last week.

She spent much of her time in the city speaking to what she described as incredible people doing incredible work every day in Dubbo to support the community.

“We had a roundtable with some of the services in town.

They’re talking about the impact of drought, what’s happening with families, the impact of Ice and other drugs in the town, and the need for more services,” Ms Sharpe told Dubbo Photo News.

“Also talking about the frustrations of trying to work with government where they’re responding to community needs but having to be smashed into

little boxes to try to meet all of their grant requirements – spending a lot of time doing that which means less actual time with the community helping people, which is their great frustration.”

She said so much emphasis is given only to the spend of taxpayer dollars, with far less thought put into what outcomes are actually generated.

“I think the pendulum’s swung way too far, everything’s got to be accounted for but it’s actually missing the thing in the middle which is that there are people at the middle of this and you need flexibility in the way that you can deliver a service,” Ms Sharpe said.

“Government money needs to be more flexible, it needs to trust community, it needs to give people certainty and longer term certainty so they can plan, and so that they can recruit the best staff and keep the best staff, (and therefore) they know that every dollar is going to work with people and not have people spending hours and hours and hours writ-

ing grant applications or filling in forms that really don’t go anywhere or prove anything.

“Surely we can trust local communities to know what’s best for their community and give them the opportunity to report on the outcomes. I think that’s the key – very easily said, much harder to do. But I think if government can work more as an enabler and supporter of communities rather than as a dictator and having control – (as if to say) ‘you will have this program and it will look like this’ – I think that’ll make a big difference,” she said.

Visiting Apollo House, she met with youth workers from LeaderLife who, like other local notfor-profit groups, according to Ms Sharpe, have faced uncertainty over the years where they’re forced to spend far too much of their time figuring out how to keep things running, instead of just doing the jobs they’re passionate about.

She believes a few things in particular are really important. “I

think looking at longer term contracts, three to five year contracts at the very minimum, and having a basic understanding that every community needs some basic infrastructure. You know that you need neighbourhood houses like Apollo House to be the glue within communities,” Ms Sharpe said.

“I’d like to think that if I came into government that we’d actually have an honest conversation about this, and that we’d actually be prepared to say, ‘You know what, these are the organisations that we’ve got, we want you guys to develop the plan that’s going to give (the best outcome).’

“What the government’s currently doing is, ‘We’re going to have a competitive tendering process, you’re not allowed to talk to each other, different organisations are going to come over the top of established groups that have got relationships with people,’ – that to me is not the way in which community works, that’s the way that economic rationalism works,” she said.

DEMOLITION works to make way for the highly anticipated Western Cancer Centre (WCC) began this week meaning cancer care closer to home is officially on its way for the region.

The new building will be around 2887 square metres, and will eventually link with the Dubbo Base Hospital Redevelopment Stage 4 Clinical Services Building at the first floor.

Due for completion in 2021, during the construction phase the project is expected to support 118 jobs, and create another 67 ongoing employment opportunities.

Minister for Regional Health, Regional Communications and Local Government and Federal Member for the Parkes electorate, Mark Coulton, was on site to celebrate the start of the new project on Wednesday this week.

“It is so important that people in the bush are able to receive the treatment they need and deserve, without having to travel to a capital city,” he said.

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the project would help make radiotherapy treatment more affordable for patients who would usually use services in Orange or Sydney.

“The new centre will have one medical oncology unit with at least 16 treatment bays, one radiation therapy unit, one PET/CT diagnostic unit, and support spaces including up to 14 consulting rooms,” Mr Saunders said.

Bushfire Appeal: What a day, what a turnout!

By JOHN RYAN THE Stand with Australia Bushfire Appeal raised $7271 on Saturday afternoon and organiser Ali Arici said he couldn’t be happier with the event, or prouder of his city.

“What a day, what a turnout!

Dubbo came together in a such an amazing way today to support such an amazing cause. I’m proud to call Dubbo home,” Mr Arici told Dubbo Photo News while he was delivering ice for the soft drinks, just before jumping back behind the barbecue.

He was keen to show how thankful he was for all the support, citing the massive undercover awning at Hannaford Tyre and Suspension as a superb venue.

“Thanks to all the volunteers and people who have shown so much love and support the last few weeks, I couldn’t have done it without all those guys.

“And a massive thanks to all the business houses that helped out in a huge way by donating so many awesome prizes and really helped to get this off the ground – this town is full of so many great people and I want to thank everyone for coming along to support us,” he said.

The fireys showed up in force, with volunteers and trucks, to show everyone what they have and use to fight fires. Senior deputy captain at Dubbo HQ Rural Fire Service (RFS) Brigade, Damian Pearce, was all praise for the event.

Ali Arici is proud of Dubbo, with an excellent turnout at the Stand with Australia Bushfire Appeal he organised.

“It’s wonderful, absolutely wonderful. It’s good to see all these people get on board.

“The more people get involved with their communities, whether it’s with fundraising at events like this through to jumping on a fire truck, it’s just all very handy,” Mr Pearce said.

“I’ve heard a lot of thank-yous, and some people were considering joining the RFS, which is another good thing about the day.

Anyone who is thinking about signing up, just contact the fire control centre, there’s brigades all over the place you can talk to, in your area.

“You don’t have to be on the end of the hose fighting fires, you can help with catering, logistics, communications, there’s many ways you can help,” he assured.

The show was packed with classic cars and motorbikes, and the live music and food kept the

crowd involved for many hours.

Ali Arici said the rain gods were smiling on the event, with rain each side of the show but not a drop to spoil the afternoon itself.

“It’s been great, especially because all the fires in NSW are all out or have been controlled, that’s great news, and now all we can do is support our fellow Australians and give them the help they’ll need,” Mr Arici said.

Digital Radio roll-out could assist in emergencies

COMMERCIAL radio stations have called on the federal government to fund an accelerated roll-out of digital radio infrastructure in a move they say will boost emergency broadcasting at a time when Australia is grappling with the effects of climate change, according to a recent report by the Sydney Morning Herald.

Dubbo is one of the regional areas currently slated for priority DAB+ rollout. Others include Newcastle, Albury and Bathurst.

Last year Australians bought 2.7 million new cars factory-fitted with DAB+ radios.

Grant Blackley, chief executive of Southern Cross Austereo, says while the ABC is often the goto broadcaster when it comes to emergency programming, commercial stations also have a role to play. He says they can assist when the ABC’s transmitter equipment is damaged by bushfires.

Mr Blackley wants the Morrison government to spend $80 million over a four-year period to ensure regional Australians have access to DAB+ technology. At the moment only the capital cities and Mandurah in Western Australia have access to DAB+ radio.

Joan Warner, the chief executive of Commercial Radio Australia, said 220 of the country’s 261 commercial broadcasters are based in regional and remote communities.

City’ campaign, the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie has agreed to check the majority of the Automated External Defibrillator’s (AEDs) around Dubbo and Wellington to ensure they are kept in good working order.

Each AED has a power pack and pad life of four years and the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie is setting up a database to make sure all units remain ready for use.

AED supplier Aero Medical

Supplies has offered to replace the power pack and pads at no charge if a machine is used on an unconscious person not breathing normally.

Dubbo-based Australian Red Cross First Aid Trainer and ‘Heart Safe City’ campaigner, George Chapman, said that he was very grateful to the West Dubbo Club for all their support.

“Most of the AEDs are conveniently located in public areas and local businesses and l wanted to

make sure the devices would be maintained effectively,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

“The Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie has stepped in to support the community by checking the units and l am incredibly grateful.”

Businesses that have had an AED installed as part of this campaign will be contacted by Rotary and be added to the database.

The units will also be checked.

Wellington project brings old and new together CONSTRUCTION of the $3m Maranatha Gunyah Intergenerational Learning Centre in Wellington is now underway and the team behind the facility this week welcomed representatives of Griffith University for a professional development workshop.

“Professor Anneke Fitzgerald and Dr Katrina Radford will be presenting information and workshop sessions to learn about the research into intergenerational care and how Maranatha will contribute to this ongoing learning,” Intergenerational committee member Terry Frost said.

The aim of the workshop is to show the best way towards building age-friendly communities through the development and implementation of an intergenerational learning program.

Maranatha Gunyah will be the first purpose-built facility in Australia to introduce the program which will offer “the best of both worlds” with aged care sitting alongside child care in a shared site model.

“It’s ground-breaking for Maranatha and it’s ground-breaking for Wellington.”

The child care centre plan features 57 places and four rooms with additional play and sleeping space for 14 people. It will also have the capacity to provide 24hour care in the future.

What a shame: parenting judgements raise anxiety

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

THIS month itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been submerged by floodwaters, and last month it was devastated by fires, but to Dubbo local Bev Maxwell, Lake Conjola will forever hold fond family memories.

It became tradition to meet her three sisters, originally all Stratfords from Dubbo, namely Pat Austin, the late Val Crane, and Diane Hildebrand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For many years my three sisters and I enjoyed a week every January at beautiful Lake Conjola. My sister Val who was living in Wollongong with her husband had a caravan on site, just a short walk to the beach,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Maxwell told Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a strict rule though, no men, no kids, just us girls, although one year we let our brothers, Ray, Bill and Alan, have two days with us.â&#x20AC;?

The sistersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; beach getaway tradition went up in smoke, however, in the January 2020 fires, leaving Mrs Maxwell devastated at the loss of the lake and its surrounding beauty. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The wildlife was beautiful, lots of birds and kangaroos and ducks. We could go into Ulladulla for a shopping day if we liked or to see a movie, to the pub and play the pokies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is so hard to know that the bushfires have destroyed it so much,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Since interviewing Mrs Max-

well, there has also been torrential rain inundating the area in floodwaters.

Mrs Maxwell has used scrapbooking to lovingly preserve her Lake Conjola memories in an album showing pristine beaches, calm lake waters and abundant wildlife. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thong tree is gone. People used to hang thongs on it. It was

covered all over. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gone. Another tree used to make us laugh, its roots looked just like legs and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d dress it up. That story made it in the Photo News once,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Maxwell said.

Scattered among family holiday photos, Mrs Maxwell has included notes and thoughts as a reminder of the special place Lake Conjola holds for them and their

sisterly bond.

One reads: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the years that count, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the stories we tell, the traditions we treasure, the good times and laugh lines and small joys we share. Above all and more than ever, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the love we held in our hearts for each other.â&#x20AC;?

Lake Conjola will forever hold a place in the hearts of the Stratford sisters.

THE impact and scale of the growing trend of â&#x20AC;&#x153;parent shamingâ&#x20AC;? has been revealed by a new study commissioned by the makers of disposable nappy brand Huggies.

The survey found that 45 per cent of Australian parents â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or more than 5.8 million â&#x20AC;&#x201C; admitted theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d felt directly â&#x20AC;&#x153;shamedâ&#x20AC;? for their parenting approach, with nearly 50 per cent of those saying they experienced negative judgement on a weekly basis.

More than 70 per cent of parents said there is more parental judgement today than in the past and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s causing anxiety, mental health issues and damaging relationships.

More than one in three parents who have been shamed said they questioned their own parenting abilities and experienced increased anxiety as a result.

The rise of social media takes its toll, according to the survey results, with nearly eight in 10 respondents saying online forums provide a platform for easy parent-shaming.

Parents of new-borns are apparently hit the hardest with parent-shaming most prevalent during the first two years.

Dubbo Photo News February 20-26, 2020

Local MP yet to see Ice Inquiry results

By LYDIA PEDRANA MEMBER for Dubbo Dugald Saunders has revealed he is yet to see the results of the Ice Inquiry which was handed down to the Governor on January 28.

It comes after the Shadow Minister for Health Ryan Park fired shots at the state government earlier this week for not making the report available to the public immediately.

“I am expecting to see the report in the coming weeks and all decisions will be based on what is supplied within that report,” Mr Saunders told Dubbo Photo News.

The final report from the Inquiry was due to be handed down last October, but an extension until the end of January 2020 was granted.

Mr Park accused the government of “letting this report gather dust”.

“Families are suffering from a growing Ice problem and the Lib-

Saunders expects report will recommend a rehabilitation or detox centre for region erals and Nationals are sitting on potential solution,” Mr Park said.

“Every day that the Government fails to release this report is a day wasted and a missed opportunity to act.”

But Mr Saunder’s defended the Berejiklian government’s position, claiming the recent criticism was nothing more that “political posturing”.

“It is better that we respond to the report in an appropriate and considered manner, and I am confident that will be the outcome,” he said.

Mr Saunders expects a rehabilitation or detox centre within the Dubbo electorate will be recommended in the report.

“I have always been a support-

er of the public call for facilities of this nature in our region and I continue with that advocacy,” he said “I have always said that it is important that the framework of such a project, or projects, would be vital and I anticipate recommendations regarding such framework will be in the report.

“The other thing I have always maintained is that this needs to be a coordinated approach with the long-term in mind, as opposed to plugging a short-term hole.”

As part of the inquiry, Dubbo hosted three days of public hearings last year where local health workers gave evidence about the impact the drug is having on the community.

According to SBS reports, ice

OLD CLOCK TOWER BUILDING BEGINS NEW LIFE IN STYLE

By JOHN RYAN THE Exchange founder Jillian Kilby was at the centre of the glitter and glam as her brainchild, The Exchange, was officially opened last Friday evening, but said that red carpet ribbon cutting was preceded by a long hard slog.

“Honestly, this has been the longest journey – from 2017 when I wrote an email to the CEO of Telstra, Andy Penn, and I said I would love to buy the Exchange clock tower here in Dubbo – (reminding him that) it’s abandoned, it’s been empty for eight years – and he wrote straight back and said, Jillian, my real estate team is onto it.

Fast-forward two and a half years and here we are at the opening,” Ms Kilby said.

“We started painting a year ago, we started strip-

ping out the internals four to five months ago, it’s been a very quick renovation and what I think strikes me is that over 100 tradespeople walked through this building in the past 12 months. We injected over $2 million into the Dubbo economy in one year.

“The Exchange is now this leader in economic development and not just development but economic diversification – everyone who walks through the doors here is starting a business to find an offfarm income, or maybe increase a revenue stream in an existing business, so all of a sudden our region is looking for new markets, new revenue, new opportunities,” she said.

Ms Kilby believes that a lot of the businesses such as sole traders who traditionally work in isolation can derive a premium

because her co-working space will see creative minds melding together, with people talking to others from different fields where they might never normally meet, and ideas can be sparked.

“We have people walking into this building who currently work from home, and when you work from home you are distracted, you’re not present, you have six things going through your mind,” Ms Kilby said.

“All of a sudden there’s a space here you can rent per hour, per day, per week, per month, there’s no lock-in contract, we cover all your overheads, we have the phone conversation with the telecoms, with the wi-fi, we set up the lockers, we set up the water supply, we set up the power bill, so all of a sudden you as a business can walk in, sit down and get

use in Dubbo has risen by more than 60 per cent in the past couple of years and that the number of people arrested for the possession of amphetamines in Dubbo is double the NSW average.

Local councillor and former Labor candidate Stephen Lawrence also hopes the state government supports a purpose-built rehabilitation facility to help conquer the city’s growing ice problem.

“My concern is more that the government carefully considers the contents of the report and be in a position when the report is released to make a positive and important announcement in respect to the Dubbo region, and in particular I want the government to commit the necessary resources to

fund a rehab detox centre on a recurrent basis in the Dubbo region,” Cr Lawrence said.

“I’ll leave it to the politicians to argue about the timing of the release, my focus is more about what happens with the contents of the report.

“I want as soon as possible a positive announcement for the Dubbo region from Dugald Saunders and I think Dugald has a very big opportunity here to show that he can deliver for the Dubbo region in a really important way.”

Last election, the federal government committed $3 million to rehab centre in Dubbo, but such a facility would need to be funded and managed by the state government.

Dubbo Photo News contacted the NSW Government this week asking when the report will be released to the public. A spokesperson responded saying: “NSW Government will provide an initial response to the report and release it publicly in the near future.”

“As far as what value do you put on this as a sole trader, this is your entry point from starting a business at your kitchen bench to being a two or three person office in the main street of Dubbo. This is that awkward in-between stage where you’re not sure you want to commit but you know you have to

pay for some level of upgrade and that’s all here at The Exchange,” she said.

Lead building contractor David Grattan said it was a daunting but rewarding project, with plenty of unwrapping to find what lay underneath years of modifications to the original build.

“Less is more is what we’ve gone for here,” Mr

Grattan said.

“Just wanting to get it open and get people in here, let the community see what it is and see the benefits.

“I feel very honoured and proud to be here, and proud to show off the work that we’ve done – myself and the subcontractors that have worked with me,” he said.

MARRIED FOR 68 YEARS

WHERE ON GOOGLE EARTH ?

A fortunate life

By NATALIE LEWIS

WHEN a charming country boy met a bubbly city girl, an everlasting romance was born. And nearly seven decades later, their mutual respect and admiration is written all over their faces.

“She fell for me,” Ben Davis said of his wife Babette, who actually fell off a bike at Bondi when she met her future husband.

“I was walking down Bondi and I’m sure she was looking at me and fell off her bike.” He was with his sister at the time, who Babette had recognised.

She grew up in Sydney while Ben had spent most of his time around Bourke. Their family ties brought them together.

“My aunty married Ben’s uncle,” Mrs Davis explained. Ben went to boarding school in Sydney, Babette started going to Bourke for holidays.

“Our families have been friends for 120 years,” Mr Davis told Dubbo Photo News. “We were friends before we were lovers. I was persistent.”

Today, they celebrate 68 years of wedded bliss.

“I knew that she was the one,” Mr Davis said. “I was lucky enough to marry the only girl I ever wanted to marry.”

Their wedding was held in Sydney on February 20, 1952. Mrs Davis changed from Church of England to Catholicism when she married her handsome beau and remembers her wedding gown as though it was made yesterday.

“I was 22 and Ben was 20. He turned 21 just after we were married,” she recalled.

“My wedding dress was straight down and made from magnolia satin with a roulette bodice. And I had a little Juliet cap and veil.

My dress was before its time.”

After the wedding, they moved to Bourke permanently where they lived at Gumbalie on the Warrego River.

“It was 50 miles out of town with a fuel stove, no running water and no electricity. I loved it there, I still love it there,” Mrs Davis said.

As a grazier, Mr Davis spent his days running livestock on the 70,000-acre property.

“The land was good enough but the rain wasn’t. We had two men running 12,000 head of sheep

with more help at shearing time.”

The couplee had three children within 17 months when heir son Grant was the birth of their followed by twins Jane and Beow boast 10 grandlinda. They now d five great grandchildren and o are spread out children who dney, Cairns between Sydney, and Dubbo.

Workers breathing easier after lung screening in Dubbo CLOSE to 200 lung health examinations for silica and asbestos-related dust diseases were provided to workers in Dubbo last year.

Retired and current workers who received a full lung health examination, conducted by the NSW government’s icare Lung Screening Service, hailed from high-risk industries including construction, manufacturing, demolition and stone cutting.

Dubbo Regional Council was one of the top users of the icare service in 2019, facilitating lung health screening for more than 120 of its workers. Council’s Safety and Risk Management Team Leader, David Matthews, said staff participation in last year’s screening was positive and appreciated by employees.

The recent resurgence of silicosis across Australia shows how important it is for people working with hazardous airborne substances, like crystalline silica and asbestos, to undergo consistent lung health screening. If you work in an atrisk industry and have never had a lung health screen, or it’s been a long time since your last screening, speak to your employer or get in touch with icare.

Bookings can be made by calling 13 94 44 or by email lungscreen@ icare.nsw.gov.au.

“Like all teaching positions, there te is a lot of work wo that goes on outside your actual te teaching time. Doing lesson plans, finding and organising f new music fo for students and ensembles, putting on gigs, manoeuvring bl around other school activities,” he explained.

Mr Ryan has a Bachelor of Music performance with First Class Honours majoring in trombone which he enjoyed attaining.

“I didn’t need one, I just thought it would be cool,” he laughed.

Mr Ryan said most people show interest in his occupation.

“The common response from parents is that there was nothing like that available when they went through school, or at least not as many options.

“It surprises people that we don’t just stand at the front and make it all up.”

Aside from the risk of mixing children with instruments that can deafen you (enough said about that), Mr Ryan said his work is very rewarding, particularly if you are passionate.

“There are many opportunities in music, but to make a living from performing is extremely difficult. There are more opportunities to teach, but again if your heart is not in it, then try something else. Kids have a unique ability to notice when you don’t care and you’ve already clocked off.”

Growing up, he was fortunate to have had some of the best teachers in the country.

“In order of no preference Mr Paul Whitney, Mr Simon Thew, Ms Ros Jorgensen, Mr Gregory Van der Struik, Mr Scott Kinmont and Prof David King.

“I haven’t had a bad one yet which inspires me not to be bad at it,” he said.

JOB PROSPECTS

Agriculture: a growing sector for tech jobs THE agriculture industry is becoming increasingly reliant on science and technology. With skilled workers in high demand, it’s a good time to pursue a career in this sector. Here are four agriculture-related tech jobs that will need to be filled in labs and farms across the country.

1. Drone technologist Also called crop scouts, aerial applicators or agricultural pilots, drone technologists help farmers implement the use of drones to monitor and manage their paddocks and crops.

2. Hydrologist With dwindling water resourc-

es and increased concerns about the environmental effects of farming, hydrologists will play an important role in the coming years.

These professionals work with agricultural companies and governments to protect the environment while helping farmers develop sustainable practices.

3. Food scientist As the global population grows and consumers demand more wholesome food, the need for improved products increases. Food scientists can help by designing foods that can be grown with fewer resources while maintaining their nutritional value.

4. Precision agriculture technologists New technologies can help farmers increase crop yields while decreasing inputs, but their implementation requires skilled workers. More and more operations, from largescale factory farms to small and medium producers, are looking to adopt precision farming solutions.

Technology can help meet the growing demand for agriculture to produce more food with fewer resources. This means that tech jobs in the farming sector will need to be filled and those with right qualifications will undoubtedly prosper.

A career at Fletchers that Chris can bank on

By JOHN RYAN A GENERATION or two ago, careers in the bank meant lifetime jobs for many Australians, but Chris Egan is glad he pulled the pin as a bank teller in 1998, before the job-shedding decimated that industry.

“I was in the bank at Orange and wanted to get back to Dubbo so when the job (at Fletcher International) popped up and my mate told me about it, he said it’s a good place to work for. I applied and luckily I got picked,” Mr Egan said, telling Dubbo Photo News it’s great to have a workplace and job recommended by someone who’s in the system and can give you an honest insight into the culture and conditions.

“The pay’s good out here, the work’s secure, so you’re mad not to look at working out here if you’re chasing a job. I tell people it’s a good spot.

“I used to dread going to work at the bank every morning, but here it’s good, I’m glad I came to a private company,” he said.

He started out in the export office, spending 13 years doing export documents such as applications for

the USA, China and European countries, as well as carrying out other duties such as banking before moving to the main office eight years ago.

He said the skills and habits learnt from his years in the banking industry were a great help.

“I was a bank teller so you had to make sure everything was right.” He pointed out that accuracy is important when you’re giving out money, and doing banking documentation gave him a good eye for the detail.

Chris says he loves the flexibility of the Fletcher’s workplace. He starts each day at 6.30am instead of his rostered time of 7.30am so he can go home from 8am to 9am to do the school run.

“In the bank I was stuck there all day but here I can duck home at 8 o’clock to take my kids to school. A lot of places don’t let you do that, but here I can start an hour early and they’ll let me have an hour off to get the kids ready for school,” Mr Egan said.

“If there’s something on at school I’m able to go into town to attend it, the bank would never allow that to happen. It makes you want to give

more to the company, it makes me like coming to work – the Fletchers are a great family to work for.

“The family cares for the people who work here, Melissa’s the CEO now and she really cares for everyone out here, it’s great for the workers, it’s great for everyone. (The Fletchers) do big hours and they’re always thinking about work, what they can do to improve things, how we can do things better,” he said.

Mr Egan is also an advocate of the fact the company has created so many divisions which employ skilled people in Dubbo, such as designing and printing up all their export documentation in-house rather than sourcing those specialist skills and operations from places like Sydney.

He said that creates skills and resources that have to be developed in Dubbo and end up employing locals to make them happen on a weekly basis.

“It also speeds up the process.

You get your documents out quicker because it’s all done here, we don’t have to wait for it to come from Sydney, we can send stuff off quicker, you get paid for it quicker.”

Chris Egan’s banking background gave him some of the skills he now uses at Fletchers.

PASSIONATE, curious individuals are encouraged to attend a local, free information session about a unique Australian award which offers people the opportunity to travel overseas and investigate a topic they are passionate about.

Advice about applying for the 2020 round of Churchill Fellowships, which allow people from all walks of life to explore an issue of their choosing, anywhere in the world, will be held at the Dubbo Regional Theatre on February 26.

Previous Fellowship recipients and Dubbo residents, Robert Siemsen and Rod Hannifey, will both share their experiences at the event.

Mr Siemsen received a Fellowship in 2018 and visited the UK to further his understanding of the traditional craft of automotive coach building, while Mr Hannifey received the NRMA-ACT Road Safety Trust Churchill Fellowship in 2016 to research heavy vehicle road safety practices in the UK, United States and Canada.

Adam Davey, Chief Executive Officer of The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, said everyone has the potential to become a Churchill Fellow.

“The only prerequisites are passion and curiosity,” he said.

“Unlike more traditional academic fellowships, they are not given for tertiary study. In fact, no academic qualifications are required to apply.”

With more than 100 Fellowships awarded each year, recipients design their own projects which plan to access expertise not found in Australia.

The Trust covers travel costs and living expenses for four to eight weeks and each Fellowship is worth around $29,000.

“Then when they return home, Churchill Fellows are encouraged and supported to inspire change at a local level, by applying, adapting and sharing what they have learnt,” Mr Davey said.

“As a result, they make a difference every day in all aspects of Australian life, across an incredibly broad range of sectors, such as agriculture, architecture and the arts, business management and building, science and sport, education and the environment, medicine and manufacturing, traditional lost trades and emerging technology.”

The Churchill Fellowship information evening runs from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre on Wednesday, February 26.

The event is free, but bookings are essential. Book via www. churchillfellowships.com.au

Fellowship applications can be made online until April 30, for travel between February 2021 and January 2022.

More medicos for the bush

PEOPLE living in regional areas will have better access to generalist medical care with the announcement last week that 100 additional training places have been allocated to the Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine (ACRRM) to train more rural generalists.

Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, who is also Minister for Regional Health, says the move is aimed at addressing the “maldistribution of doctors in the bush”.

Mr Coulton says research shows that doctors who train in the bush are more likely to stay and work in the bush upon completion of their training.

“Expanding the training will ensure there is pipeline of rural generalists coming through to support a viable and sustainable workforce. Those of us in the bush deserve the same access to high quality health services as our city counterparts,” he said.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll make some suggestions that your friends find interesting. Your accomplishments will bring you a lot of pride. Take the time to develop a talent that taps into your considerable creativity.

CAPRICORN: You cross paths with some inspiring people who expand your social circle. A great opportunity has you taking steps to move.

AQUARIUS: There’s a fine line between harmony and discord; sensitivity and affection are important in any relationship. Proper communication will make things better between the two of you.

PISCES: There will be lots of action around you this week. If you like to travel, you’ll treat yourself to an adventure of a lifetime. A short jaunt away could also be memorable, even if you head off on your own.

The luckiest signs this week: Taurus, Gemini and Cancer.

Uni students should claim early

IF you’re planning to start university in 2020, now would be a good time to lodge your claim for Youth Allowance or Austudy, according to Federal Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton.

Youth Allowance provides financial assistance for eligible young people who pursue further study or an apprenticeship after leaving school. Austudy assists eligible students and apprentices aged 25 or older.

Applying now will help to avoid the last-minute rush at the start of the new semester, and gives new university starters the best chance of having their payment approved when their course begins. The claim process has been streamlined, with tailored questions based on the information provided.

Eligibility for additional support will also be assessed.

WORLD’S GREATEST SHAVE

Are you brave enough to shave?

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

DESPITE his own health challenges, including a stroke at the age of 39, then developing epilepsy as a result, Scott Denis is not one to sit back and feel sorry for himself when there are others in need around him.

The former Dubbo College Delroy High School English teacher hopes to raise as much money as possible from the community to donate to the Leukaemia Foundation by creating a World’s Greatest Shave event which anyone can participate in.

The idea being, bring your friends and family to donate on your behalf while you have your head shaved or hair dyed.

“For anyone who doesn’t want to get their hair cut they can get it dyed and donations for that will be a little bit less than the shave.

We’re looking at $5 a shave and around $3 for a dye.

Anyone can join in, young or old, it doesn’t matter,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

This year the Leukaemia Foundation has a target of $16.5 million to support and empower families impacted by blood cancer, and to accelerate research into treatment and prevention, with

Onyx Hairdressing hairdressers Kyla Lake and Brittney Barrett are ready to help you lose the locks for the World’s Greatest Shave. They’re pictured with local motivator Scott Denis. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

their ultimate goal being to have zero lives lost to blood cancer by 2035.

Mr Denis’ efforts are officially endorsed by the Leukaemia Foundation and he is working closely with Orana Mall centre management

and Onyx Hairdressing who will be shaving on demand.

“What I’m hoping to do is get as many people as possible involved in it. People can register themselves if they like, or just turn up,” Mr Denis said.

z The World’s Greatest Shave Orana Mall will be held on Thursday, March 12, from 5.30pm to 8pm. To register call Scott Denis on 0413 006 772 or Onyx Hairdressing on 6885 4555. Walk ups are welcome.

Red tape ‘slashed’ for drought allowance

NEW legislation introduced this week will help slash more of the red tape that’s been binding Farm Household Allowance applications, according to Minister for Agriculture and Drought David Littleproud, who says the measures are designed to give farmers better access to the allowance when they need it.

Several recommendations have been taken from a farmer-led panel to make the FHA applications more straightforward.

Included in the measures are that business income reconciliation will no longer be necessary in the new financial year, which will prevent putting farming families in debt if they receive unexpected income.

Case managers will also be able to extend the time farmers have to complete farm financial assessments so they don’t miss out on support in complex cases.

Farmers making a loss can also offset their off-farm income up to $100,000 per couple.

The FHA is now available for four out of 10 years, instead of a three-year lifetime limit.

Relief payments have also been made for people finishing their first four years of FHA in recognition of the extended drought and unprecedented natural events.

A long lost Ken doll had made a spectacular return – after being lost for more than a decade. Dubbo Photo News photographer Wendy Merrick takes up the story...

“My daughter Emma and her friend Paris were playing with their Barbie dolls and a Ken doll in the dam on our property when it was full back in 2009.

“Ken accidentally went for a swim off the side of the boogie board, never to be seen again – until yesterday.

“We went to the dam to see how much water had flowed into it and there was Ken, smack in the middle, with his arm out as if to say ‘help me’.

“Seriously, it was as if he was put there for a joke, but that’s where he has been since 2009 and we never knew until now!” Wendy explained.

The stoic doll seems to have weathered well, and even managed to keep his dashing smile through the whole ordeal. It’s good to have you back, Ken!

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Drugs, knife seized in Dubbo vehicle stop POLICE have charged two people after they stopped and searched a Holden Commodore station wagon on Wheelers Lane on Monday afternoon.

Officers searched the car and allegedly located 39 grams of methylamphetamine, drug paraphernalia and multiple mobile phones, all of which were seized.

A 37-year-old man and a 33-year-old woman were arrested.

The man was charged with take part in supply prohibited drug, possess prohibited drug, possession of equipment for administering prohibited drugs and custody of knife in public place.

He was given conditional bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court on April Fool’s Day. The woman was charged with possess prohibited drug, supply prohibited drug and possession of equipment for administering prohibited drugs.

She secured conditional bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court on March 18.

A NSW Police photo of the knife allegedly found when they stopped a vehicle in Dubbo.

Spear’s L-Plate thoughts LAST week’s photo (right) and story about former local Andy McQuie picking up a massive number of L and P plates along the Pacific Highway has caused plenty of comment, including from long serving Dubbo forensic cop Steve “Spear” Pearson, who now calls South Australia home.

“I note that legislation in NSW states that those plates must be displayed on the outside of a vehicle. There’s your problem,” Steve said.

“Here in South Australia things are a little different.

“There’s no stipulation that these plates must be displayed on the outside of a vehicle, only that they must be visible from both the front and the rear of the vehicle, or in the case of a motorcycle –

from the rear only.

“To that end, the practice in SA is to have one plate attached to the inside of the vehicle windscreen down at dashboard level on the passenger side – way out of the driver’s field of vision.

“The rear-mounted plate is attached to the bottom inside corner of the rear window on the driver’s side – again way out of the driver’s field of rear vision, effectively behind the driver.

“Surprisingly you hardly ever see an L plate or P plate lying on the roadside, and being on the insides of vehicles they can’t be knocked off.

“We may be a little laid back down here in SA, but we’re certainly not backward.

“We were first to do away with rego labels.

“We don’t have annual pink slip inspections.

“In fact, despite having a driver’s licence and owning two cars and a caravan, I haven’t been in to a motor registry in Adelaide for years for renewals. All done on-line.

“May be time for NSW to catch up?” Steve added.

Couldn’t agree more.

Geurie firey fantastic HARD hats off to the Geurie community and the local Rural Fire Service (RFS) brigade.

Seriously, there must be 7550 residents rather than 755, because the weekend fundraiser for their local fireys raised a staggering $7575 – an incredible achievement.

It really shows what sort of glue binds our smaller country towns together.

The event was staged at the Mitchell Inn and kicked off at 3pm with activities for the kids, with live music beginning at 4.

Well done.

Stand With Australia

Sprinkling fail

AT pretty much the same time, Ali Arici’s Stand With Australia bushfire appeal was happening in Dubbo and raised a total of $7271.

A couple of local trucks, from Dubbo HQ and Cumbbogle brigades, were in attendance and they had plenty of people talk to them about potentially joining up.

Great outcomes for so many reasons.

See more on this story in today’s Dubbo Photo News.

Look before you leap, or, in this case, before you drive under certain sections of Dubbo Square’s car park.

A van that was a mite too high managed to take the head of one of the fire protection sprinklers, covering much of the car park with water.

NSW Fire and Rescue attended and sorted things out.

People power – citizen hunting NSW DPI Hunting is keen for people to support communities impacted by fire by helping to wipe out feral predators, and the same should be true for regions like ours which have just received decent rains after years of drought.

Here’s what the agency is ask-

ing: “As the fire threat slowly abates across eastern Australia, our wildlife are now in a fight for survival as vast tracts of their habitat will take months to regenerate to a point where they will have adequate food and cover.

“This makes them particularly vulnerable to predation from wild dogs, foxes and feral cats.

“Haven’t got your R-Licence yet?

Become a licensed hunter to join a peer network of responsible hunters who provide a valuable contribution to regional communities,” the DPI statement said.

100 years of fire brigade history DUBBO’S original fire station, the building located on the corner of Darling and Wingewarra Streets, is having its Centenary this year and there’s a few pumper loads of history tied up in the 100-year-old building.

It once served as residence and fire station which also contained a Zone Office, and it used to house fulltime and retained fireys – difficult to believe in such a small space.

When the station opened in 1920, just after WWI, it was well equipped with all the mod cons, everything in fact except a fire engine, but hey, you can’t have everything.

According to the archives, the Dubbo brigade continued to fight fires with a hose reel, sometimes transported by bicycle, for another three years before Dubbo received its first motorised fire engine.

Pip’s tough job awarded

THE ongoing success of the statewide Indigenous Police Recruitment Our Way Delivery (IPROWD) program, which has its roots in western NSW, is a good fit with this year’s theme for the United Nations World Day of Social Justice – Closing the Inequalities Gap to Achieve Social Justice.

IPROWD is a practical social justice partnership between Charles Sturt University, NSW Police, the Australian government and TAFE NSW to ensure access and equity to Indigenous students and provides a career pathway into NSW Police.

The IPROWD program provides support to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to overcome barriers and challenges which restricted entry to study via traditional methods, and enables them to gain access into the NSW Police Force by providing a career pathway.

IPROWD was first offered in Dubbo in 2008, and has since been implemented elsewhere across the state with more than 700 Indigenous students having since enrolled.

Head of the Charles Sturt School of Policing Studies in Goulburn, Associate Professor Ken Probert said IPROWD students have gained employment with NSW Police, Corrective Services, and the Australian Federal Police, while others have pursued further education, studying law, teaching, nursing, and justice studies.

“At the request of the NSW Police in 2017, we introduced the University Certificate in Workforce Essentials as a compulsory entry requirement, which 257 IPROWD students have commenced.”

By JOHN RYAN DUBBO’S Pip Job found out last week that she’s been awarded the Public Service Medal (PSM) for service above and beyond what she’s required to do to meet her job description.

The former Little River Landcare CEO, and Australian Rural Woman of the Year, sat down with Dubbo Photo News to share some of her insights during her former role as NSW’s drought coordinator.

The Public Service Medal is a civil decoration awarded to Australian public servants (at all levels) for outstanding service.

The Governor-General can award no more than 100 nationally, and in NSW only 22 people are nominated for a PSM. Pip was listed on the Australia Day Honour Roll and the Governor-General will hold an investiture ceremony at which she will be presented with the insignia of the award.

••• Is the PSM for anything specifically?

I have been recognised for my contribution and service to drought-affected communities and for ongoing support to rural NSW. How did you feel when you were notified of the medal?

I am deeply humbled to have been nominated and awarded.

The drought response has involved so many people who have all been contributing to support those in need and I am only one of those.

I feel very privileged to do the work I do and I have great purpose every day.

You never expect to be recognised in a way like this. It really is an honour I am still coming to terms with.

Describe your role as the NSW Drought Coordinator – what did you have to do?

When I stepped into the role in May 2018, the drought was starting to take a firm grip across the state.

At that time 72 per cent of the state was classified in drought and some areas had already been experiencing tough conditions for a few years.

It was critical to hit the road and see people and communities across the state.

I spent a lot of time talking with individuals and groups to understand the challenges they were experiencing, where there were barriers that needed addressing and hearing peoples’ ideas and solutions.

My job was to make sure decision makers were informed with on-the-ground information and champion for the needs of primary producers and rural communities to make sure the assistance being offered was fit for purpose.

The breadth of topics was massive, ranging from access to fodder, conditions of rural roads, access to primary school, charities, mental health support, financial assistance packages, water quality, health conditions, failed telecommunications, and so much more.

My job was to look for patterns across regions and understand if it was a large scale issue, or something acute to a particular region.

I had to collect facts, evidence and also listen with empathy and care.

I linked people into other services to make sure they were getting the support that was available to them.

I also did a lot of myth busting – there is so much misinformation in the public that impacts people’s decisions, and people self-assess their ineligibility to assistance packages all the time.

During drought, and even more so with the rise of social media, there can be some nasty and ill-informed commentary that can gain currency – how tough was that?

This was one of the hardest parts of the job.

Social media bought my work into my home life in a way we hadn’t experienced before and I, naively, didn’t anticipate.

The misinformation, bullying and flat rude behaviour is an ugly part of our society.

Watching the impact on my family of social media bullies and people who were misinformed and very opinionated, was very hard.

I am very proud of my family

who, despite their upset, didn’t lash out online.

A great life test for my teenage boys about restraint.

In saying that, I also had incredible online support from people far and wide.

When social media is used in a way that is respectful and considered, it is a powerful resource at our fingertips.

areas of NSW? It was extraordinary to meet with people from all parts of the state to hear their passion for where they live and the business they ran and the communities they support.

The geographical differences are amazing to say the least.

Overlay this with the different industries – I spoke with livestock breeders and traders, dry land croppers, veggie growers, oyster farmers, dairy farmers, irrigators, hay growers, turf farmers and more, even a Christmas tree farmers!

I spoke with multigenerational business, some traders, mum and dad partnerships, and new entrants.

Understanding the challenges associated with the stage a business was in, their business cycle and add into that if they were young, with kids, or older and closer to retirement, all gave me an extraordinary insight into our agricultural industry in NSW. All of this highlighted how complex our industry is and that everyone has different NSW Drought Coordinator Pip Job needs and challenges, and ad(left) spoke about her role with Prince dressing this is complex in a Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex decision-maker environment. during their visit to the Dubbo region What was your saddest moin October 2018.

Grant means more than just a new loo

A TOUR of the upgraded Gilgandra CWA rooms this week has left Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, singing the praises of both the renovations and the organisation.

Funded in part with a $10,100 grant from the federal government’s Stronger Communities Programme (SCP), the upgrade enabled the building of a new disability toilet in the local branch rooms.

“The existing amenities were no longer up to scratch for the local ageing and disabled community to use, meaning these new facilities will be most appreciated,” he said, adding that there will no doubt be an increase in the use of the rooms by family groups and community organisations.

Mr Coulton commended President of the Gilgandra CWA Branch Helen Oates and the rest of the branch members for the “wonderful work” they do in the community.

Ms Oates said the SCP grant funding, combined with other funding sources, has given the local CWA a new lease on life.

“In the past two years we have built four toilets, renovated the kitchen, painted the entire interior, re-sanded and polished the floors, and purchased audio equipment.

“Given our upgraded facilities are significantly more user-friendly now, we are hoping for greater participation from the local community, and we look forward to hosting more local events in these rooms.”

PHO HOTO: TO T TO: O SUPPLIED BY COL GORDON

For the first time in years, water is flowing along many creeks and rivers which run into the long-stressed Macquarie River, but there's still plenty of community angst about new rules which allow Orange to pump from the Macquarie when it has almost no flows at all.

Sofala's Col Gordon said the new pumping rules allow the city to take water out of the river when it's way too low, and he's concerned the more common dry times will have a massive detrimental impact on native fish when Orange sucks vital refuge pools dry.

Mr Gordon has sent numerous questions to state government MPs, including water minister Melinda Pavey, but said he's being ignored because they don't want this issue discussed.

The recent fish-kills in the Macquarie have heightened anger against the state government's water management policies. JOHN RYAN reports.

FISHERS and environmentally concerned members of the community are furious Orange gained approval for a $50 million pipeline to take water from the Macquarie River upstream of Burrendong Dam as long as there was 108 megalitres per day flowing past the pumping site.

That anger increased when, after going through that process, the city then applied to reduce the trigger point to about a third of that amount, setting a new threshold of just 38 megs.

Colin Gordon is secretary of Sofala’s branch of the Central Acclimatisation Society and says his questions to state government ministers on this issue, from as far back as July 2019, continue to go unanswered.

Mr Gordon said he asked NSW water minister Melinda Pavey and planning minister Rob Stokes to explain why they allowed the trigger point to be slashed, given the Independent Review by experts.

He says Bewsher Consulting P/L 2013 considered the proponent’s assessment of using a 38ML trigger contained “statistical bias”, ”was inaccurate”, and “was significantly hampered by a lack of documentation by the model’s developers and operators including details of the model’s calibration and validation (if any).

“Can you please explain why the trigger level was dropped from 108ML/day to 38ML/day when all the academic and scientific evidence to maintain aquatic ecological health and conserve endangered, threatened and protected species dictates that extracting water at low flows (below the accepted low flow) should be avoided,” Mr Gordon asked various state government ministers.

He’s seeking answers as to who conducted the peer review on hydrological monitoring to support the 38ML trigger for pumping.

“We challenge the information by the proponent that a 38ML/day flow in the Macquarie River was a high flow, and are disappointed that the assurances given by the proponent that the pipeline would never operate during low flows are not being honoured,” he wrote.

“I am deeply concerned that concerns raised by me on behalf of recreational fishing clubs, associations and members of the public who have donated many thousands of volunteer hours over many years to maintain or improve native fish assemblages in the catchment and who have detailed knowledge and experience of the Macquarie River are being ignored,” Mr Gordon said.

Dubbo Photo News sent ques-

tions on this issue to Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders and he initially responded that it’s “really an issue for Orange City Council to deal with, as it is the water utility provider in this situation”.

He also noted that Mr Gordon lives in the Bathurst electorate and so should raise his concerns with the office of his local MP, Paul Toole.

Dubbo Photo News then pointed out that this lower threshold pumping of water from the Macquarie River affected downstream towns and cities such as Wellington, Geurie, Dubbo, Narromine and Trangie, all of which are situated in the Dubbo electorate.

Mr Saunders responded: “For a long time now, residents in Orange have been very responsible with their water usage and the stark reality is that they are very close to running out of water, hence the need to do more pumping.

“On average, residents in parts of our electorate are still using substantially more water than what people in Orange are using, and while our situation isn’t great we are in a much better position than our eastern neighbours.

“Allowing more pumping will have an impact on how much water flows down the river however I believe the impact is

minor, and we need to be mindful of our neighbours in other parts of the region who are also doing things tough,” Mr Saunders said.

Mr Gordon said he’ll continue his fight to get answers from the state government.

Meantime, Inland Waterways’ president Matt Hansen said that at a 38 meg flow, the upper Macquarie is all but a series of pools. He described pumping at a low level as being like putting a gun to the head of all life in the waterway.

“Tapping into a delicate rock pool in the river, instead of a dam that is 3.5 times the size of Sydney Harbor, is complete stupidity,” Mr Hansen said, reinforcing the fact that the area Orange council now pumps was selected as part of the endangered Trout Cod recovery program due to its specific habitat.

“The key threatening process that has been proven to all but wipe out the Trout Cod is unnatural flow variance, but somehow Orange council gains permission to remove large percentages of the flow at critically low levels,” Mr Hansen said.

“It’s pure insanity when they could have just come down the railway line with the pipeline to Burrendong, and had the added security of Windamere Dam, then linked to their water supply.”

MUSIC

Priceless performer kicks off 2020 Dubbo concert series

By NATALIE LEWIS PASSIONATE about music, classical guitarist Campbell Diamond loves playing pieces from all around the world. Originally from Dubbo, he now performs internationally but will return to his home town this weekend to commence Macquarie Conservatorium’s 2020 concert series.

“This time I’ll be playing a mix of music from France, Spain, Hungary and South American countries such as Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela,” he explained.

“Something for everyone!”

The next few months of concerts will also bring a balance of home and overseas performances.

Diamond will play in Australia, England, Italy, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary and the Czech Republic, then back to Australia before performances in New York and Tokyo.

He’ll then return to Europe.

“I definitely enjoy the mix of home and overseas performances. It’s quite interesting seeing the differences between cultures in how audiences react to a performance. I performed in Tokyo back in 2013, and it had to be one of the quietest and most attentive audiences I’ve ever played for – although loud with applause after the piece had ended!”

Along with crisscrossing the globe to play concerts, Diamond has been winning prestigious international guitar competitions including the Vienna International and the Arpoador International in France.

He says competitions keep him feeling committed to his craft.

“They definitely motivate me, along with giving me deadlines.

Winning them leads to concert opportunities which is ultimately what I want to be doing.

“At this stage I aspire to win them as a means to eventually stop doing them. I love what competitions can offer in terms of prizes but one can easily get their head stuck in the sand in the process, and that can lead to stifled creativity.

“Along with that I’ve been doing more concertising and teaching, most of which takes place at guitar festivals around Europe and beyond.”

Campbell Diamond is originally from Dubbo and now performs internationally. He will be back in Dubbo for a concert tomorrow night (Friday, February 21). PHOTO: MARTIN HILLEBRANDT

Diamond has continued honing his skills, studying at the Cologne Musikhochschule in Germany and has more recently been under the tuition of acclaimced French guitarist Judicael Perroy in Paris.

This year, he will also relocate to the USA to complete his Masters degree at the San Francisco Conservatory.

Diamond also hopes to release a second album in the next few years to follow on from his debut

CD “Prelude”.

“I would love to release another CD in the next couple of years.

Along with other professional projects, it’s definitely something I would love to do again.”

In the meantime, Diamond is looking forward to catching up with Dubbo friends at the Conservatorium this weekend.

“Many of my generation have since moved away from Dubbo, but I believe there are a few who

are still in town.”

The second performance in Macquarie Conservatorium’s concert series will be performed by husband and wife pianists Stephanie and Edward Neeman.

Acclaimed for their impeccable musicianship and onstage chemistry in performances across America, Australia and Asia, the pair delight audiences with their unique mix of the dramatic, romantic and whimsical. This concert by the

Neeman Piano Duo features Schubert’s famed Fantasia in F minor and Edward Neeman’s own arrangement of music from Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite.

Macquarie Conservatorium has also been included in the touring alumni from the Australian National Academy of Music with a third concert to feature the best young wind players in Australia.

Arcadia Winds have taken their brand of energetic and spontaneous performance to festival stages all over Australia, concert halls across mainland China, and reached listeners around the world through the BBC Proms broadcasts of Australian chamber music.

In September, a virtuoso violin and piano recital features two exciting musicians with international careers, Kristian Winther, violin, and Anthony Romaniuk, piano, who were acclaimed internationally for their recording of Ravel’s Tzigane and Violin Sonata. In Dubbo, they play these stunning works as well as masterpieces by Mozart, Debussy and John Adams.

Finishing off the series in October, the Acacia Quartet will play string quartets by Beethoven, Fanny Mendelssohn and Australian composer Lyle Chan. The Acacia Quartet has performed at the Sydney Opera House, City Recital Hall Sydney, Melbourne Recital Hall, as well as overseas, and have released nine albums. Blue Silence, the first recording of the complete works for string quartet by Elena Kats-Chernin, was nominated for an APRA-AMCOS Award.

With an award-winning classical guitarist, an exciting piano duo, a virtuoso violinist and pianist, plus outstanding chamber ensembles of winds and strings, this year’s series offers a truly diverse range of quality artists in programs of entertaining and inspiring music.

Tickets for the first concert and series tickets are on sale now from www.123tix.com.au and at Macquarie Conservatorium. Visit Macquarie Conservatorium’s Facebook page for more information. z Campbell Diamond will perform in concert at Macquarie Conservatorium tomorrow (Friday, February 21) at 7.30pm.

ADVERTORIAL

FROM THE BOOKSHELVES ] By DAVE PANKHURST, The Book Connection

THE role of political leaders in today’s democracies “ain’t what it used to be”. An example is in a book from the shelves – a copy of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, part of which is quoted here.

“Four score and seven years our fathers brought forth on the continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal... It is for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us – that from these honoured dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

Lincoln was speaking about U.S. Civil War veterans but in our country so many paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Today can we recognise any leadership mind that acknowledges the sacrifice of lives

Operation Hammersley began when C Company, 8th Battalion, the Royal Australian Regiment (8RAR) and supporting elements that included a troop of tanks, a troop of armoured personnel carriers, combat engineers and a mortar section were ordered to secure a quarry site at the foot of the Long Hai hills.

As the Australians met with early success during Hammersley, the Operation’s scope increased until most of 8RAR became involved.

The early stages of fighting were

characterised by infantry ambushes carried out by both sides. While the Australians had the support of armoured vehicles, they were at a disadvantage, facing an enemy able to make use of the shelter offered by the many caves running beneath the Long Hai hills. Hindered by the rugged terrain, the armour was also in constant danger from land mines which caused casualties among the infantry and armoured personnel.

Sadly 12 Australians were killed and 59 wounded during Opera-

tion Hammersley, with a further two servicemen killed in the days immediately following the Operation’s conclusion.

In honour of those who served and tragically died, a National Commemorative Service was held to mark the 50th anniversary of Operation Hammersley on Tuesday this week at the Australian Vietnam Forces National Memorial in Canberra.

Democracy: Where the pigs have their snouts in the trough lost in war and the upholding of a country’s values through effective leadership.

A recent Sydney media article revealed that the metro rail project under Sydney Harbour will now cost $16.8 billion, more than $4 billion above the planned expense. Combine that with the billions of dollars spent on the city light rail project from the Quay to Randwick and we have to ask, can the people involved ever do a job that was hardly necessary in the first place, and according to their money spending plans.

At no point have they acknowledged the need to dam and divert the water from the Clarence River into the Barwon River and make a tremendous contribution to the water flows in the Murray-Darling system.

The inland river system has daily attention, in the media and minds that live west of the Great Divide. We all know that, as our population grows, no provision has been made to cover our needs and, on a broader scale, the food production of the nation. And where is there constructive evidence of the $13 billion assigned to that system?

With so much attention being given to bushfires, coronavirus, climate change, Donald Trump, Brexit, etc., is much attention being given to the long term consequences that fire, drought, crime, and human suffering will

have on our economy and living standards?

Some books from the shelves can give us stimulus and provocation as to why our thought patterns exist and maybe vary as they do.

Amy Chua is the author of “Political Tribes” which immediately takes in the fact that Australian political behaviour and processes are replicated in so many other countries. Our attention is drawn to the fact that approximately 45 per cent of the world’s population is now in democratic mode. But within that structure, the “tribes” are having a major influence on the decision process.

The book explains that humans are tribal, we need to belong to groups, we crave bonds and attachments which is why we love clubs, teams, fraternities and families. We have an instinct to belong – and an instinct to exclude. And this often means that we can be voting against some party rather than for one.

This theory is supported in “The Rise of the Outsiders” by Ste-

ve Richards who describes how mainstream politics has lost its way. He began writing the book before Donald Trump had won the presidential election in the US – and when most commentators assumed that Hilary Clinton would win. Trump tweeted that the Brexit result in 2016 proved that he would win the US election – their public was fully conditioned to expect the unexpected.

Volcanic elections have since occurred in the UK, Germany, and Austria, each in different ways conforming to the pattern described in this book.

In Australia we have seen a rise in support for some minor parties and unexpected results for the major parties.

Philip Coggan is the author of “The Last Vote” in which he analyses the current state of Western Democracy. Democracy seems to be enjoying a moment of triumph with half the world’s population now living in a democratic state. Some believe that rising prosperity could eventually force China into the democratic camp.

But in countries of Europe and North America where it first took root, the picture seems to be less healthy.

Generally it seems to be fail-

ing to live up to one of its main attractions: the ability to deliver higher living standards for the ordinary person. Instead it is rigged in favour of a few groups that receive preferential treatment from governments.

An interesting graph on page 241 indicates the “Economic Growth and Trust in Government”. Australia is well below the average.

An interesting analogy is George Orwell’s “Animal Farm” where the range of animals on the place start out living comfortably with each other and, gradually, separation of duties and lifestyle sees the pigs rise to take over the running of the farm.

And today we still have pigs with their “snouts in the trough” and the rest of us working to pay for it.

The time is well past where our government leaders make intelligent decisions, ensure their effective implementation, and now act with the sole motivation that re-election is their priority.

THE Wellington Branch of the NSW Farmers association held a meeting at the Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club last Thursday, February 14.

Residents who live along 12 Mile Road are concerned about the huge 100-metre trucks that travel down this road to the wind farm.

They believe the road isn’t suitable to carry this size vehicle and if one of these trucks get bogged or breaks down the farmers will not have access to their properties.

NEW MINISTERIAL APPOINTMENT Last week I was sworn in as the new Minister for Regional Education and Decentralisation, and the Assistant Minister for Trade and Investment.

Decentralisation, and the jobs it brings, is also a core issue for the bush.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very excited about working in these portfolio areas because they all have a direct impact on rural and regional Australia and this is a great opportunity to get results for country people.

Finding new markets for our primary producers is vital for the future prosperity of country communities. Locally weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already done a lot of work gaining greater export access for cherries and stone fruit into Asia and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very NHHQ WR Ă˝QG PRUH RSSRUWXQLWLHV IRU RXU IDUPHUV

In regional education, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passionate about bridging the divide in opportunity between city and country students.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about chalking up more runs on the board for the bush and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really looking forward to getting stuck into it!

DROUGHT LOANS FOR AG-RELATED SMALL BUSINESSES NOW AVAILABLE I recently visited Wellington Mowers & Chainsaws where I met with Rod Irwin. Rod told me that he was interested in applying for one of the Federal Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AgBiz Drought Loans.

These loans are for eligible small businesses supplying goods or services relating to primary production to farm businesses in a drought affected area. They are for amounts up to 7KH ýUVW WZR \HDUV DUH LQWHUHVW IUHH with concessional interest-only payments for the following three years, and then principal and

Rod requested that the loan application process be made simpler and easier and so this is something that I raised in Canberra last week.

fire and dust storms ravage the land and shape the lives of the people living in Central West NSW. Country Connections is currently on show at Dundullimal Homestead, 23L Obley Rd, Dubbo, open Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 3pm.

The exhibition runs until April 4.

SUDOKU EXTRA

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

Did you ever know a successful man who didn’t tell you about it?” z If you’re ever in the American state of Iowa, you might want to stop by the rural town of Riverside, which touts itself as the future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk. Yep, the future birthplace.

It seems that “Star Trek” creator Gene Roddenberry asserted that the character of James Tiberius Kirk was born in Iowa, but he didn’t specify exactly where. In 1985, the Riverside City Council voted to declare their town the future birthplace of the character, later writing to Roddenberry and receiv-

ing his approval. In honour of its newfound claim to fame, the city began hosting an annual Trek Fest, complete with a Spockapalooza battle of the bands. z If you enjoy cooking, you might have heard of some of the following cookbooks: “Kill It and Grill It”, “The Joy of Pickling”, “Full of Beans”, “The Stinking Cookbook” and “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Meat!”

Then again, maybe not. z The term “bric-a-brac”, usually used to refer to a collection of tawdry trinkets, comes from the French, where its original meaning was “at random”. z Most parents of small children know that trampolines can be dangerous, and they are. According to US statistics, every year nearly 100,000 people receive emergency-room treatment for injuries sustained while using trampolines.

z The backyard swimming pool is believed to be deadlier. Royal Life Saving Australia says there were 123 summer drowning deaths in the 2018-19 year, with 14 of those (about 11 per cent) being in the backyard pool.

NOW HERE’S A TIP z “For uniform biscuits, roll and freeze your dough for 10-15 minutes. Most doughs will harden enough to slice into perfectly even slices, and the freezing doesn’t really affect cooking time too much.

(Watch your first batch, though.)”

– R.L. z If you are reattaching a button to shorts or pants, try using dental floss, the unwaxed kind. It’s much stronger and can hold the button better than regular thread. Use a marker to darken it if the colour is

an issue. z “Here’s a use for large plastic jugs: Cut off the bottom and use as a megaphone at sports games.

Assemble the younger siblings off field and let each have his or her own megaphone. They can be decorated with stickers. Have the kids make up a cheer.” – T.T. z Dampen a paper towel with vinegar and put it into your kid’s lunchbox after you wipe it out. Zip up and leave overnight. It absorbs smells. z “Use a hair dryer on the warm setting to dry out boots that have gotten wet inside. Check often to make sure it’s not getting too hot inside. Remove insoles if possible.”

– D.E. z Need an easy substitute for buttermilk? Squeeze lemon juice into milk, and let it sit for 10-15 minutes before using.

...inspiring locals!

Whitney Cup battle is getting tight

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL MEGA hit champions Macquarie are still on top of the first grade table despite their loss to CYMS last Saturday.

RUGBY LEAGUE

Fishies downed by Roos in Challenge Cup

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL A MASSIVE thunderstorm forced CYMS and Wyong players from the field at Apex Oval on Sunday. Midway through the second quarter, with scores locked at nil-all, the heavens opened, wild winds threatened patrons’ cars and the referee implemented lightning rules to ensure player safety.

Once they returned, the visiting Roos hopped into action, running in two converted tries before the Fishies found their bearings.

CYMS came back within four after tries by young Caleb Cook and tough centre Jyie Chapman. The second try was costly as Chapman was carried off after twisting his ankle.

Wyong sealed the match with an intercept and another late try after ill-discipline resulted in piggy-back penalties.

CYMS won an earlier League Tag trial in front of a bumper crowd, eager for the new season. It’s hard to believe that Group 11 doesn’t actually kick off until April 26, given the league-hungry crowd at Apex Oval.

Former NRL forward Jake O’Meley put plenty of pressure on CYMS defence

Les Williams and Ted Cassidy. PHOTO: COURTESY OF ANTHONY BROWN

By GEOFF MANN CLUB Dubbo (West Dubbo) has lost two of its most feted lawn bowlers with the passing of Les Williams (1942-2020) and Ted Cassidy (19392020) earlier last week.

Bowls Manager Anthony Brown says the pair were prominent bowlers at Club Dubbo over many years.

“Les and Ted were members of the triumphant NSW Pennant Number 5 (2008) and Number 2 (2011) champion teams in a golden era for the club.

As well as being great bowlers and team mates on many occasions, both men were fine company off the greens and had a wide circle of friends across the state.

“Both will be sadly missed, not only by their loving families, but by the many friends they had made over the years,” he added.

Anthony extended condolences to the families of both “these fine gentlemen and players”.

Les was farewelled yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon while Ted’s farewell will be held shortly.
