V FOR VOLUNTEERS The V for Victory sign was made famous by Britain’s World War II prime minister Winston Churchill. The Flower Power movement of the 1960s co-opted that V to symbolise Peace and Harmony – a generation looking to make the world a better place. This week, Dubbo Photo News has decided that nothing better symbolises the importance of National Volunteer Week than the ‘V for Volunteer’ sign. Running from May 18-24, the theme for Volunteer Week 2020 is “Changing Communities. Changing Lives”, and nothing better describes the awesome array of locals we’ve featured in this week’s edition of the paper. A few months ago, which seems a lifetime now, dozens of local volunteer firefighters were travelling to firegrounds across three states to provide

much-needed relief for crews worn out by months of gigantic bushﬁres. Every day we have volunteers saving lives at car crashes, being on the end of a phone to talk to people suffering depression, offering warm clothing to the homeless, and working out canteen rosters for junior footy. Some of these people wear many volunteering hats and the sacriﬁces they make on behalf of the community are difficult to comprehend. Dubbo Photo News this week proudly brings you some of their stories. In fact we’ve had so many people nominated by those around them who appreciate their work, that we’ll continue to highlight their achievements in the coming weeks. For Dubbo Photo News, it’s Local Volunteer Month.

CHINA’S TARIFF HITS FARMERS Communist government’s claim that Australia had been dumping barley “is just nonsense”

GRAIN grower Richard Bootle was set to sow around 2000 hectares of barley seed this week, but after news of China’s massive 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley imports, he will opt for Plan B.

IN BRIEF

Vehicle sanitisation system gets Dubbo trial ENHANCED safety measures for point to point transport providers such as taxis and hire vehicles are being rolled out in Dubbo with the trial of a free vehicle sanitisation station. Regional transport and roads minister Paul Toole visited Dubbo yesterday to announce the initiative, and said the city was the first regional centre to trial the new initiative which is designed to enhance driver and passenger safety during COVID-19. “Thousands of drivers have had their vehicle sanitised for free at a vehicle sanitisation station during a trial in Sydney in the last month – and we are now looking to roll the initiative out to the regions with Dubbo the first cab off the rank,” Mr Toole said. “This is about giving people additional confidence in the safety of point to point services used for essential travel,” he said.

China’s barley tariff hits local farmers By LYDIA PEDRANA NYNGAN grain grower Richard Bootle was set to sow around 2000 hectares of barley seed this week, but after news of China’s massive 80 per cent tariff on Australian barley imports, he will opt for Plan B. With around half of Australia’s barley exports usually going to China, the new tariffs could all but bring the billion-dollar industry to a halt. Mr Bootle, who grows around 8000 hectares of crop annually, said these tariffs make growing barley in Australia financially unviable, and he will replace his planned barley crop with wheat. “Australian barley is now basically being priced as the lowest priced barley in the world – it’s actually cheaper to get it rather than Russian barley into Saudi Arabia, that’s basically how bad things are,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “We would still be able to sell it (barley) – everything sells for a price – but it’s $65 a tonne down, it’s a good third of your revenue gone.” The tariffs come after a 16-month investigation into an anti-dumping complaint. The Chinese Ministry announced on Monday that an anti-dumping duty of 73.6 per cent and anti-subsidy duty of 6.9 per cent would be levied on all Australian exporters. But the idea that Australia had been dumping barley, or was subsidised by the government, is a

Barley grower Richard Bootle has scrapped plans to plant any of that crop this year after China torpedoed its viability.

notion trade minister Simon Birmingham and the local industry reject. “There’s no substantive basis for it,” Mr Bootle said. “The idea that we dump barley, like farmers get paid as much as we can for it, traders buy it and then sell it for as much as they can, the idea that anyone is subsidising that trade to dump it below cost, either cost of production or cost of acquisition, into China is just nonsense.” Australia’s annual barley trade with China was estimated to be worth $1.5 billion in 2018, dropping to $600 million in 2019 as a result of the drought. Agreeing that Australia’s heavy reliance on China comes with risk, Mr Bootle explained why

the relationship had historically worked. “They (China) have been a really great market for us and they are a very logical partner for us because they have a lot of people, they have low costs of manufacturing, and we have low costs of raw materials, so in some ways it’s a great partnership.” And although dumping allegations surfaced in 2018, he believes the Federal Government’s push for a COVID-19 inquiry was the final nail in the coffin, leaving farmers as collateral damage. “As a supplier to someone, I don’t go up to Woolworths and say, ‘I hate your colour green,’ so why as a supplier do we go and poke China in the eye over something that we didn’t need to lead

internationally?” he questioned. “We (Australia) can either try and be political players on the world stage, or we can kind of accept our role as a supplier of raw materials... This is where our trade relationships currently sit, it just seems silly to ignore the reality of where we are.” NSW Farmers also said they were “deeply disappointed” by China’s decision and hope “a timely and amicable resolution can be agreed including the removal of duties to enable trade to be re-established, for the benefit of industries in both countries.” Mr Birmingham has indicated Australia may appeal to the World Trade Organisation, if lobbying directly with Beijing is unsuccessful.

BACK TO SCHOOL 2.0

As children return to the classroom after weeks of learning from home, many Kindergarten parents feel like they’re starting again. Carly Smith’s daughter Scarlett, 5, found her new Kindy groove just before coronavirus restrictions forced kids to stay home where possible. “It really feels like we are restarting again, we were ﬁnally getting the hang of it but then this happened,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “The other morning, Scarlett said, ‘I don’t want to go back to school.’” Cherie Johnston’s ﬁve-year-old twins had different opinions. “I had one twin very excited to get back to see her friends and play and the other twin concerned if she would be safe with the virus still around.” But it might not just be the young ones struggling. Ros Roche said her 11-year-old was also hesitant about going back to school. Pictured back at school at Buninyong Public School are Kindergarten students Takiyah Ryan, Connor Morrow, Beau Irvine, Quinton Kennedy, Charlotte Reynolds and Alex Griffith. The group told Dubbo Photo News the most exciting thing about being back at school is that they can play with their friends again. Charlotte added that she was happy to be learning again. Their teacher said that having a routine is always important for this age group and so getting back into a school routine has been really good for them. Dubbo Photo News wishes parents, students and teachers all the best as they return to the classroom. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

An ill picture of rural healthcare By LYDIA PEDRANA MAINSTREAM media investigations published earlier this week have painted the rural healthcare system in a dire light. The first report, published in The Sydney Morning Herald, alleged there had been a death and a series of near misses at Cobar and Dubbo hospitals within the last 12 months and retold the story of a man who had to have his toe amputated after being deprived of antibiotic treatment. A second story, published the following day, alleged an elderly man admitted to Dubbo Base Hospital was deprived of food and water for several days in a ward that had run out of pain medication. While the Labor party was quick to call for an independent inquiry into the state of rural and regional healthcare, the image of a de-

teriorating health system was refuted by the Western NSW Local Health District and the Member for Dubbo. In response to the initial story Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders reiterated the amount spent by government on rural health. “This financial year, the Government is spending over $900 million for health capital works in regional and rural communities throughout NSW,” he said in a statement. “Of the 40 NSW hospital redevelopments or upgrades underway or set to commence in 201920, two-thirds are in rural and regional parts of NSW. “But we know the health system isn’t just bricks and mortar; the Government is also investing $2.8 billion to recruit a total of 8300 frontline health staff over four years, with 45 per cent to be

located in regional NSW.” Mr Saunders also took a swipe at Labor, saying the health infrastructure delivered by his Government was “far superior” to what the opposition had done in the past. “There were times when nurses at Dubbo Hospital were borrowing bandages from vet clinics, when X-rays or sterilisation fluid was unavailable due to bills not being paid. That is hardly an environment conducive to attracting medical professionals,” he said. “There’s evidence that our $241 million redevelopment of Dubbo Hospital is already attracting more specialists to town and I am confident that will continue.” A lengthy statement from the local health district also listed the dollars spent on recruitment and infrastructure, before stating their services “endeavour to pro-

vide the best possible care at all times”. But Dubbo Mayor Ben Shields said while infrastructure improvements were welcome, recruitment should be at the top of the list. “It’s fantastic that the NSW Government has invested in hospital facilities in regional areas including Dubbo... however, it doesn’t matter how good your facilities and equipment are if hospitals don’t have appropriate staffing,” he said. “Anyone who lives in towns such as Cobar, Walgett, Narromine or Nyngan is likely to end up coming to Dubbo for medical treatment, therefore it’s crucial that staffing levels at Dubbo are prioritised and boosted.” Councillor Shields also suggested rural health should be reviewed on a regular basis. Meanwhile, Cobar mayor Lil-

liane Brady OAM, who spends time in her local 10-bed hospital at least once a month, had nothing but praise for the care she receives. Mrs Brady had also spoken to the nurses from the Cobar Hospital after the media article was released and said they are “upset by the reports”. “As one sister said to me, ‘I could go home with a bottle of gin and have a drink and not turn up tomorrow,’ you know, how would you feel if someone criticised you about your job,” she said. “One doctor and I sent flowers to them, because you can’t blame the nurses for the facilities we haven’t got. “Nurses need a lot of support too.” Mr Saunders confirmed that the WNSWLHD was conducting its own inquiry into the cases raised.

TRIVIA TEST

Meet the Mike of many hats By JOHN RYAN AT the casual age of 60, Mike Herbert manages Burrendong Botanic Garden and Arboretum, living just down the road at Dripstone. He’s a country boy having grown up at Trangie with much of his working life being spent around agriculture and the preservation of native fauna. ••• Tell us about your volunteer role. Currently I am president and deputy captain of Dripstone RFS (Rural Fire Service) which involves the general running of the brigade, attending meetings and other functions as well as attending fires, motor vehicle accidents and other incidents and with that comes the upkeep of the equipment. Continual upgrading of skills by ongoing training is always involved. When did you start and what prompted you to get involved? This will be my third year with Dripstone Brigade but I have been involved in other areas and places of employment in fire-fighting. My partner and I made the decision to join the RFS when we purchased our property at Dripstone as we believed it was important to participate in local activities and we felt it was not right for us to expect other members of the community to provide help to us without us being able to return the favour. On a daily or weekly basis, what roles do you perform? Being a member of the RFS is a commitment to be available to respond to any type of incident we are called to at any time of the day or night. That is the main role. With that also comes communication with other brigade members and fire control, vehicle maintenance and training courses as well as the general administration of brigade affairs. What’s a day or weekend in your life look like? It begins the day or the week before with arranging coverage for brigade members who are being deployed so that the brigade area is still covered and of course getting all PPE organised and packed. If overnight, then anything

needed has to be packed as well. On the day of deployment, it’s an early start to travel to the deployment area either in a bus or a fire truck Once at base camp briefings are carried out and individual tasks are allocated as well as definition of chain of command, lunches and snacks are allocated and the task force starts work. Tasks include back burning, property protection. Blacking-out, general patrols and fire-fighting as the situation demands. Depending on the situation, breaks are taken when possible. As the fire situation is always fluid there can be re-assignment throughout the shift. The shift can last from 8 to a maximum of twelve hours. After being relieved and debriefing has been completed the journey home or to the accommodation takes place and it is time to wind down. What sort of training do you get through the organisation? We receive a lot of training, a lot has to do with fire-fighting and the behaviour of fires in different situations. Then there is chainsaw operation, on and off-road driving, first aid, leadership and crew management, etc. How many hours/days per year is your volunteer commitment?

This varies from season to season but on average probably about a month including training. Volunteers are seen at so many events, but do you think a lot of people in the mainstream don’t understand what roles you actually perform? No, but the severe fire season we have just endured has brought our roles into extreme focus with hopefully a greater understanding of the commitment of all volunteers. Is it difficult to attract volunteers? Yes – people are so “busy” within their own lives and lifestyles to think of volunteering and then to carry through with volunteering. Hopefully post COVID-19 people will begin to see that some of the things within their lifestyles are not needed and can transfer the time and drive used on those things to take a new direction into volunteering. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the duties you carry out? In the same ways as general living with social distancing, reduced crew sizes in vehicles and greater hygiene practices and a greater sense of self-preservation in normally inert situations. How rewarding is it to you personally, to perform these volunteer tasks?

The feeling of reward will of course vary from person to person but for me it is knowing you have followed through on the commitment and perhaps saved lives and property which provides the feeling of a job well done and a greater sense of commitment to my community What would you say to people looking to help out – why should they do that? Come and find out what it is about then decide if you are able to commit to dedicating a good slab of your time to the organisation you are thinking of joining. If the answer is yes, go for it. If not, think about how else you may be able to provide support. What sort of people are you looking for to volunteer – age, skill base, etc? Any age, there are tasks to suit everyone and the wider the individual’s skill base the better. But most important is the ability to commit and follow through on that commitment. Anything you’d like to add? All communities need volunteers. If we all took part in our community as a volunteer regardless of the organisation the entire Australian community would be the best we know it could be.

Teacher charged after car stop near Dubbo A VEHICLE stop just north of Dubbo on Tuesday resulted in a 54-year-old teacher being arrested and charged over alleged historical sexual assaults of a student in the state’s Murrumbidgee region. In August 2017 detectives from Murrumbidgee Police District commenced an investigation following reports a girl had been sexually assaulted by a man who was known to her in the 1990s. Following inquiries, detectives arrested a 54-year-old man following a vehicle stop north of Dubbo at about 8.20am on May 19. The man was taken to Gilgandra Police Station and charged with 10 counts of ‘sexual intercourse – person between 10 and 16 years – under authority’. Police will allege in court that the man sexually assaulted the girl, who was then aged between 13 and 16 and his student at a school in Hillston, at various locations in the Murrumbidgee area between 1993 and 1996. The man was granted strict conditional bail to appear at Griffith Local Court on Wednesday, June 10.

Cobar respiratory clinic opens

Federal Court win for Aussie digger and his interpreter

GP-LED respiratory clinics have been officially opened in both Cobar and Moree, following the opening of a similar clinic in Dubbo. Up to 100 respiratory clinics are being established by the Federal Government across Australia to help screen patients with COVID19-like symptoms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These clinics are a great asset for their communities and really strengthen our local capacity to deal with any COVID-19 outbreaks,â&#x20AC;? Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said. Mr Coulton also advised that Members and Senators at recent Parliamentary sittings have respected social distancing requirements in order to progress important legislation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A highlight was the passage through Parliament of privacy protections for the COVIDSafe app, which is now enshrined in law,â&#x20AC;? Mr Coulton said.

By JOHN RYAN JASON SCANES spent much of his life in Dubbo but says it was his military service in Afghanistan that served to shape him. He founded Forsaken Fighters and is currently CEO of that organisation which is dedicated to looking after mates, including Afghani interpreters who worked alongside Aussie soldiers and whose lives are in danger if they have to stay in their home country. The retired Australian Army captain, who has dedicated his life to the ethos of never leaving your mates behind, won a landmark battle in the Federal Court last week. The decision to refuse the visa of Mr Scanesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Afghani interpreter has been quashed and the minister will now have to re-decide his protection claim. Mr Scanes said that victory was bitter-sweet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel saddened that it has taken seven years to have an application for a protection visa assessed for someone who has served with Australian troops in Afghanistan,â&#x20AC;? Mr Scanes told Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it has highlighted a broken visa system with gross inefficiencies that is placing people in danger and mounting undue

Mr Scanes said he never doubted Hassanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (name changed for the protection of the interpreter) integrity nor saw any proof of any wrong doing, and says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enlivened by the decision of the Fed-

eral Court and remains optimistic that Hassan can have a fresh application with all relevant information assessed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ask that the Government gives Hassanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s application the highest priority given the time that has lapsed since his original application in 2013 and consider Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s moral obligations to these interpreters and the risks they and their families now face,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;On behalf of Hassan, I would like to acknowledge the amazing

State plan to control councils foiled COUNCIL WATCH By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL mayor Ben Shields told Dubbo Photo News he agrees with Local Government NSW president Linda Scott who has welcomed the NSW Parliament’s decision last week to back away from changes that would have made it easier for State Ministers to intervene in council operations. Cr Shields is on the executive of Local Government NSW and Dubbo’s deputy mayor Stephen Lawrence is it’s vice president. The planned changes to the Local Government Act would have

allowed Ministers to dictate what type of infrastructure is built in local government areas, when and how councils collect and spend infrastructure contributions by local developers, and place a cap on the maximum amount of income a council may earn, with no sunset provision. “Communities were rightly angry when they learnt the NSW Government, in the midst of a global pandemic, was seeking to grab power from democratically elected councils in order to mandate we stop infrastructure projects, kill local jobs and freeze councils’ income and employment opportunities,” Mrs Scott said. Shadow Minister for Local Gov-

ernment Greg Warren said communities throughout the state could breathe easier after the “Berejiklian Government failed in its bid to introduce two draconian changes to the Local Government Act”. “NSW Labor and the crossbench in the Upper House successfully quashed the Government’s attempts to limit councils’ ability to derive income, and to interfere in decisions made by democratically elected councils about capital works on council buildings,” he said in a statement to media. “These changes would have crippled families and business that are already reeling from the drought, bushfires and the COV-

ID-19 pandemic,” Mr Warren said. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders advised Dubbo Photo News that the Government sought to place a two-year moratorium on councils undertaking building works on council chambers and offices. “Limited exceptions would have applied for emergency work, maintenance and minor capital works less than $1 million in value,” Mr Saunders said. “The amendment sought to ensure councils direct their resources to infrastructure projects that directly benefit the local community and contribute to local economic recovery. This includes roads, bridges, parks and

Roundabout route to Dubbo’s rescue squad By JOHN RYAN THE 35-year-old trainee rescue operator grew up on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland before a 15-year stint in the Northern Territory. His broader family spans three states – Victoria, Queensland and the Northern Territory but his immediate family including his mum, Rottweiler named Chip (#ChipandDale) and cat, have lived in Dubbo since 2018. “I spent most of my twenties in an electrical trade background as a live line worker for the Northern Territory Power Company,” Mr Mortimer told Dubbo Photo News. “For the last five years I have prioritised my passion for emergency service, pursuing Ambulance and Rescue volunteer roles, my primary role being an ambulance dispatcher for NSW Ambulance.” His formative years included playing rugby union, volleyball, golf and a hint of tennis, but now prefers low impact sports such as weightlifting, but is also passionate about precision long range rifle shooting and was awarded the 2018 Northern Territory Practical Pistol (Production Division) Championship. “Now most of my time is spent studying towards the Bachelor of Paramedic Science, ulti-

sportsgrounds. “Individuals, families and businesses need certainty and confidence in the decisions governments are making, including in setting rates and charges, during the COVID-19 crisis,” he said. “That’s why the Government sought to amend the Local Government Act to give the Minister the power to make an order to limit a council’s general income. “This power would have enabled the Government to take action if a council is disproportionately distributing the financial burden on one sector of the community such as residential, business, agricultural or mining,” Mr Saunders said.

mately towards on-road Paramedicine.” Dale joined the Volunteer Rescue Association (VRA) the first week he arrived in Dubbo back in October 2018 and says he’s motivated to donate back to the community. “I find the fast-paced, complex and challenging environment of emergency services very rewarding, I have a trade and ambulance background, and the technical aspect of rescue gives me the ability to solve complex problems, all while engaging with and serving the community,” Mr Mortimer said. “It ticks all the boxes for me and really aligns with my attributes. “If you have a desire Volunteer Rescue Association volunteer Dale to serve your community Mortimer is always ready to respond.

“For most of our operators it’s a lifestyle choice, revolving our personal time around the ability to respond, always having a kit bag in the car, always having our phones on, and structuring our life around this. “While we’re referred to as part-time volunteers, it takes a full-time mindset and comprehensive preparedness to provide the extremely professional and competent service that we do,” he said. Mr Mortimer says he finds it incredibly rewarding knowing that at any time and in any situation, members can use their refined skills to extricate people from what’s likely to be one of the worst moments of their lives. He says while everyone always hopes no lives are lost or no persons are injured in car crashes and other incidents, VRA members are always ready to respond. “We’re looking for enthusiastic people prepared to make a commitment to training and to their community – you don’t need any previous experience to join and I would encourage anyone, of any age, from any background to engage with their local rescue squad,” he said.

Regional communities lack eating disorder treatment A NEW report has highlighted the barriers to accessing treatment for people with eating disorders in regional, remote and very remote communities. The problem has been compounded even further by COVID-19 isolation and restrictions, and has been recognised in the Government’s National Mental Health and Wellbeing Pandemic Response Plan announced this month. The MAYDAY survey found that 94 per cent of respondents in regional and remote areas believe where they live is an obstacle to getting help, 63 per cent claim COVID-19 has impacted their ability to seek treatment, and 80 per cent incur significant costs to receive treatment.

Property market stays strong amid pandemic By LYDIA PEDRANA IN a time of much doom and gloom, there is some good news for the local property market. While metro markets battle through the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis, Dubbo’s industry remains relatively stable, according to Dubbo real estate agent Bob Berry. Mr Berry said Dubbo’s historical resilience proves it’s able to survive volatile fiscal activity better than the big cities. “The history of the Dubbo market over the last 50 years, the modern Dubbo since it started growing and becoming a city, is that we are not a boom-bust market,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “We react to economic conditions and particularly local condi-

Good sign: Dubbo records its lowest ever rental vacancy rate tions relating to the rural sector, but we never collapse, our housing markets never collapse, and they don’t spiral up as Sydney does.” In March this year, Dubbo recorded its lowest ever rental vacancy rate of 0.7 per cent, down from 1.8 per cent at the same time last year. And although there has been a boom in residential construction in Dubbo over the past seven years, the appetite for investment dwellings has been on par. “Despite the increase in available rental property, demand has been equal to supply over this period, and the record low vacancy rate of 0.7 per cent of rental dwellings indicates a growing popula-

tion, with jobs,” Mr Berry said. “In other words, people can’t rent property unless they’ve got a job or unless they are here, and they are here because they’ve got a job and they can pay the rent, so it’s a good basic sign because your rental accommodation forms your basis of the market.” According to the Real Estate Institute of NSW Orana Division, since March and throughout the lockdown period, rental demand remained steady, although Mr Berry does expect to see the 0.7 per cent figure creep up slightly in months to come. “I would be surprised if we see under 1 per cent again in the foreseeable future, but if we are

around the two per cent vacancy, that’s good.” According to Core Logic, the median advertised rent for a house in Dubbo is $350 per week, and a unit is $255 per week. As for Dubbo’s median house price, which currently sits at $370,000, Mr Berry doesn’t anticipate this to fluctuate too much, even in the midst of a pandemic. Domain.com.au data shows that the prices of two-, three- and four-bedroom homes in town have remained consistent with the year prior, however five-bedders have suffered a 16.8 per cent drop in median price from $625,000 in 2019, to $520,000 in 2020. Mr Berry said the region’s pro-

longed dry spell could be behind retraction at the top end. “Dubbo has gone through three years of drought and it’s affected the rural sector. Traditionally over the years we have a lot of people in our very large region choose Dubbo as a place to either retire or semi-retire if they have sold a rural property, or if they have sold a business or are relocating from a western town. So it’s fair to say that in the drought years, that activity reduces a little bit and that activity would impact on the top end of the market – moreso than the other sectors of the market.” Asked whether now is a risky time to take advantage of reduced prices and upgrade to a five-bedroom house, Mr Berry said “no”. Is it an opportunity? “Absolutely,” he said.

COUNCIL WATCH

A full life helping his community By JOHN RYAN AT just 30 years of age Daniel Mcwhirter has lived a full and busy life. After three years working at Fletcher International he moved into underground mining and has spent the past 10 years as an explosives charge up operator, production driller, utilities operator and general all-rounder. He’s married to Kara and they have a 10-year-old son, Izak. Daniel has a general interest in woodwork restoration and family getaways, with a spot of fishing when time allows and generally likes being outside. In his “spare” time he volunteers for Dubbo Rescue Squad as a general rescue operator. He began that volunteering about 18 months ago. “I have always had a keen interest in community service and was an active member of the Rural Fire Service (RFS) for many years before taking a step back to spend more time with my family,” Mr Mcwhirter told Dubbo Photo News. “A Facebook recruitment post by the Dubbo Rescue Squad looking for more members sparked my interest and made me realise how much I miss giving back and helping the community and people in need. “Being able to help someone in

their hardest times is the most rewarding feeling that I can think of,” he said. In his role he assists with fundraising, training, and attending emergency incidents from the local cat stuck in the tree to search and rescue and motor vehicle crashes. He says call-outs consist of dropping whatever you’re doing and making your way to the shed, getting in the truck and responding to the job, performing the rescue or recovery whatever it may be and then packing up heading

back to the shed for a debrief and then home again. “The training you get through the VRA is too long to list, the life skills and training is endless from rescue techniques, rope skills, medical patient handling, the skills you learn are of the highest professional standards and not only are applicable in our roles in the VRA but are extremely useful outside of the organisation at home and at work,” Mr Mcwhirter said. “We are on standby 24/7 as well as weekly training to keep

our skills up to scratch. “It’s difficult to attract volunteers for what we do. Not everyone can do what we do and see what we see as a volunteer, at serious incidents. “We have some members who are there as support for fundraising and don’t want to be operational. And, that’s a big help as we rely on our fundraising to continue doing what we do in the community,” he said. He said volunteering is extremely rewarding, and that very little in life compares to being able to help those who need it. Mr Mcwhirter said he’d urge anyone in the community to just take some time to visit organisations such as the rescue squad and have a look around. “Do it! Come down check it out, from being an operational GLR operator or a support member, it’s a rewarding way to help others, you have nothing to lose and plenty of skills to gain and the VRA is like a second family,” he said. “Anyone over the age of 18 – we have recruitment days that are advertised on our Facebook page and they can be operational or support members. All training is provided however you do need a current working with children’s check (free to obtain for volunteers) and a first aid certificate is required.”

Have your say on bright “SPARC” ideas

FOLLOWING months of community consultation, Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) has placed its Cultural Plan on public exhibition and would like to hear the community’s thoughts. While not Dubbo’s first cultural plan, it encompasses the amalgamated region of Dubbo, Wellington and surrounding villages. Called SPARC (Shaping Plans to Advance Regional Culture), the plan shines a light on how Council can commit to policy-making based on a solid foundation, in development with and responding to community and stakeholder feedback, and with transparent processes for reporting, monitoring and review. The plan outlines a five-year framework, highlighting key projects and initiatives to help support the growth of our economic development and destination ambitions. DRC’s Cultural Development Coordinator Jessica Moore says that she received several bright ideas during the initial consultation phase, and now it’s time for the community to have their say on those results. “The Cultural Plan is based on six key values for cultural growth and recognition. These values are: Discovery, Growth, Immersion, Distinction, Accessibility and Communal. These are the cultural values we hold not only now, but what we want our region to be known for,” Ms Moore said.

ZEST FOR LIFE

Funding for a sublime youth program By NATALIE LEWIS AN organisation that helps troubled youth find a better pathway in life has received a cash injection of $80,000 from the NSW Government as part of the Stronger Country Communities Fund. LeaderLife CEO Johanna Leader said they support kids and people who have experienced extraordinary life challenges. “We are a not-for-profit charity in Dubbo with a very simple mission: to grow the community by helping kids doing it tough live their best life,” Mrs Leader explained. In presenting the funding, Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders was pleased to see it going to such a worthwhile group. “In November, I announced $50,000 in funding for Soil2Soul to start this project, and now LeaderLife has been successful in accessing another $80,000 to make the lime farm project as good as it can possibly be,” Mr Saunders said. “I’ve seen first-hand the work that LeaderLife does with young people, and the sense of pride and purpose they get from seeing that someone cares. “This project gives these young people a chance, and often that is all they need.” To help young people in the Dubbo area, LeaderLife has developed a social enterprise concept called Soil2Soul. “Soil2Soul is aimed at disengaged youth and, through its lease of a lime farm in Narromine, provides them with meaningful jobs and training that will allow them to develop skills across a variety of different sectors, including agriculture and retail.” Soil2Soul was inspired by the work of Bernie Shakeshaft from BackTrack in Armidale, along with the young people themselves who said “we need help learning how to work because we haven’t done it before.” The farm, leased through the generosity of the Maxwell family, started at the beginning of the year. Mrs Leader said the program has become a long-term employment pathway for young people at-risk in Dubbo. “It is a model that creates incredible opportunities for young

Destination will be reached next year By JOHN RYAN Outback destinations will be delayed for a group of adventurous Dubbo trekkers who’d planned an odyssey to White Cliffs and Birdsville via Tilpa and Mildura on the biennial trek to raise funds for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

About LeaderLife LeaderLife coordinates the Apollo House community centre and have delivered community-based programs in Dubbo since 2011. They help kids to show up well in the world despite their adversities and to know better, so they can do better. In the past 12 months they have helped more than 192 young people. LeaderLife is a community-driven not-for-proﬁt organisation which thrives on the enthusiasm of its participants and supporters. This year’s National Volunteer Week from May 1824 has the theme ‘Changing Communities, Changing Lives’, providing the perfect opportunity to salute this valuable foundation.

people aged 15-25 who have disengaged from education, who are struggling to get a job, are on the edge of the criminal justice system,” she said. “Our Elders in the community have been very supportive of the local kids and this approach to helping them.” The young people in the program are supported in an alternative and innovative employment, education and training model that has the potential to stem into other industries in the future such as horticulture, agriculture and forestry. “Since the program began, the Soil2Soul crew have been busy maintaining the lime trees, pruning, watering and clearing the rows between the trees,” Mrs Leader explained. They were also pretty excited to see the rain ease the harsh

drought conditions in the past few months. They have since established a customer base for their produce and until the spread of COVID-19, they were attending the local farmers’ markets, selling limes directly to the public. Mrs Leader described this as a perfect way for the young people to follow a direct product supply chain. “After they packed up from a sell-out morning at the markets, one of the kids said “well never did I think that volunteering my time, early on a Saturday morning, to sell limes at the farmers’ markets would ever make me feel like a 10 out of 10!” Like so many in the world, the LeaderLife team have had to come up with some innovative ways in the current COVID-19 climate, to continue ensuring the well-being

of what Mrs Leader describes as ‘our busted kids’ whilst following the government guidelines. “Our motto has been keep it simple and innovate the heck out of it!” she laughed. Fortunately, work with vulnerable people and farm work have been considered an essential service during the crisis which has allowed Soil2Soul to continue its youth and community work in a modified way. “The crew have been attending the lime farm each day; planting a huge veggie patch, including putting in an irrigation system,” Mrs Leader explained. They are now home delivering freshly picked limes around Dubbo and Narromine – with the L platers getting in plenty of driving hours in their log books. “We have also utilised this time to master our value-adding products like our artisan lime cordial which will be bottled and sold in the coming months. “The kids have even been playing around with how to make aromatherapy lime oil! “The production of these products has taken some pretty serious business planning, maths and science, and just goes to show how much the kids we work with respond to hands-on learning,” Mrs Leader said. “We hope this little story creates ripples that will help heal the whole.” z The Soil2Soul limes are sold for $5 per 500g, can be delivered and orders can be made via www.facebook.com/ LeaderLife.Dubbo/ or emailed directly to soil2soul@leaderlife.org.au

A colossal program for the control of wild dogs used both aerial baiting and ground baiting.

Wild dog baiting on a large scale OVER 140,000 baits for the control of wild dogs were distributed over a two-month period from March to May, covering a combined area of over 7,500,000 hectares, and baits distributed aerially over 4800 kilometres of bait lines. “The scale of the wild dog baiting programs in Western NSW and the coordination involved is a credit to the landholders and our biosecurity officers and support staff who make it happen,” Western Local Land Services general manager Erlina Compton said.

Dubbo Works for Ray family By JOHN RYAN

2020 Destination Outback event organiser George Richmond says everyone involved realises the circumstances are beyond the control of the club, and he believes the rescheduling to 2021 will make the event bigger and better than ever. “It’s on for next year and everyone’s looking forward to it,” Mr Richmond told Dubbo Photo News. “We’ve got people committed but are looking for more entrants but I think people will value it event more than before

just to be able to travel in a group and for a good cause all at the same time. “It’s so good out in the bush and I think people generally will be holidaying domestically far more because of the uncertainty around travelling overseas,” he said. The trek has raised more than one million dollars for the ﬂying doctors alone during its 30-year history, another great testament to local volunteers doing great things for the western region.

LAST week, the cover of Dubbo Photo News featured a story on a family locked down in Sydney medical facilities with two very sick children. The response to that article has been phenomenal, with many locals calling to find out how they can donate money to Erin and Jeremy Ray and their brave little kids. Others called to say they could assist with free professional services and in more than one call, people were openly crying as they sympathised with the family’s plight. This is how Dubbo Works, with people acting as a community rather than just as

an economy, and helping out others who have been struck with misfortune. During this pandemic, which for many people could be described the ‘worst of times’, the best truly has come out in so many people. A family friend, and one of the organisers of the GoFundMe page, told Dubbo Photo News the family had been overwhelmed with the love and support from people they didn’t even know. That, he says, is incredibly valuable to the Rays in this incredibly difficult time.

WORKING IN A TRADE

Old-school quality keeps on keeping on By JOHN RYAN WHEN Ian Graham began working in his engineering shop in Dubbo’s main street, the bridge over the Macquarie River was located north of his business, which he said made his location ‘a deserted backwater’. “50-odd years ago when we started, the highway and bridge were in Bultje Street so this was the dead-end of town. There was only a strip of tar up the middle and gravel footpaths,” Mr Graham told Dubbo Photo News this week. He said many people find it odd these days to walk past an oldschool artisan tradesman right in the middle of town. Mr Graham has seen neighbouring businesses come and go over the years – in 2020 his nearby neighbours include Bob Jane T-Mart and the Colour Copy Shop is across the road. “Some people walk past and think this place is a museum. It’s good being in the main street, we see the world go by – and other things.” He says hand-made and quality products are in many cases a dying art, with so many things we buy manufactured at the lowest cost in other countries which have access to incredibly cheap labour. “It’s not good, quality’s gone by the wayside, it’s all made to a price,” Mr Graham said. Despite all that, there is still demand for the work he does. “A lot of farmers still pay to get replacement parts made by hand. “They can’t afford to buy new stuff so they want to keep their older, quality machinery going which means they have to keep getting it repaired, so we sort of fill that void. I enjoy that challenge, making one-offs, it’s some-

thing different.” He says there’s still a few oldschool tradies working around town but most are either getting close to or well past retirement age. And he believes we’re doing our trade training all wrong by centralising and intellectualising jobs

which should select apprentices on aptitude and intuitive ability. “It’s a dying art, the kids have to go to Orange (for TAFE) which is a drawback. They have to go down there for three days every three weeks and a lot of them don’t want to do that, and what they’re teaching them now, it’s not like the old

days so it makes it hard,” Mr Graham said, adding there’s an existing pool of skilled local retired or older artisan tradies who’d be more than pleased to start schooling local kids in their crafts. And, he says, the COVID-19 crisis has shown the importance of local communities being able to

fend for themselves rather than having supply chain breakdowns when it comes to the simplest things. “There’s plenty of knowledge around and a lot of people to help – people who can fix things instead of just ordering replacement parts.”

JOB HUNTING TIPS

COVID calling: How to nail a phone interview IF you’ve recently applied for a job, it’s likely that someone will call or email you to set up a formal interview for the position. However, you should also be ready for the possibility of a phone interview – even if it’s an informal introductory discussion. Phone interviews are more likely during the current COVID-19 restrictions. Here’s how to navigate this type of call and ensure you meet the hiring manager in person.

Be prepared A PHONE call can happen at any time. Research the company when you first apply and prepare a few questions to ask the

recruiter during a phone interview. In addition, always keep a copy of your CV close by, keep your phone fully charged and answer calls in a professional, courteous manner.

Be available IF you’re contacted by email with a specific time for the phone interview, prepare yourself accordingly. Notably, make sure you’re in a comfortable and quiet location at the time of the call and review the details about the company and the position. If you receive the call unexpectedly, take it if it’s a good time for you. If it isn’t, let the call go to voicemail and call

back as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can answer and ask them to call you back at a more convenient time.

Be a good listener PAY attention to the person speaking and never interrupt what they’re saying. Be sure to take notes on the conversation as they may come in handy during a formal interview, should you have one. If you’re not sure how the phone interview went, don’t be shy to ask about the next steps in the hiring process. This will give you a good idea whether or not you’re going to have a secIf you’re invited to have a job interview over the phone, pay attention to the person ond interview. speaking and never interrupt what they’re saying.

Keeping eyes and ears open – it works FOCUS ON FLETCHER’S By JOHN RYAN JAMES RIDGE is production and export shipping coordinator for Fletcher International and has been with the company for less than two years, so it’s been a meteoric rise. Mr Ridge grew up on a station just past Enngonia and says he’s always had an interest in agriculture. “After finishing my first year at Marcus Oldham College in Geelong I wanted to find somewhere close to home (growing up out west, close to home can mean anywhere from 50 to 500km) where I could complete the four weeks of workplace experience required and be near family,” Mr Ridge told Dubbo Photo News. “Roger’s name was common in agribusiness circles so I emailed

them and got the ball rolling. “The critical step Fletchers takes when welcoming any university graduate is the exposure they give you to the whole process, an excellent way to prepare anyone for a career in this industry. “After my four weeks in 2017 I applied for another ten-week placement in September 2018 and was welcomed back,” he said. It was a rounding experience – he started by spending a week or two in each area of production, such as the harvest floor, fabrication rooms, fellmongery, skin salting sheds, load out and the grain terminal. After his university placement finished he said he was ecstatic when he was offered a full-time position in the export office to analyse the plant’s costings and daily yields. “They then charged me with coordinating production in the fabrication rooms and ensuring wastage was minimal,” Mr Ridge said.

with a very dynamic and skilled team, looking at co-workers as mentors as well as being managers, and revelling in the more than 100 years of experience in the people that sit around him.

“I was finishing my bachelor’s degree in agribusiness externally during this time so my spare time was scarce, however I’m glad that I have completed it. “I am now responsible for organising export shipping of by-products and coordinating containers to be loaded onto our train to Sydney for export.” He says he thrives on working

“Invaluable, if you are willing to put in the work and keep learning, doors will open for you. There is so much to learn about every aspect of the plant, and the best thing to do is keep saying yes to opportunities as they arise,” Mr Ridge said. “All you need to do is listen to how passionate our CEO Melissa Fletcher is about the workforce and you will understand why our people are so important, she continually praises our ability to op-

RATHER than wasting her time in lockdown, Dubbo lady Bernadette Donoghue has been whiling away the hours doing something very important for others. She is one of many volunteers actively giving their time across the Dubbo area who will be celebrated as part of National Volunteer Week from May 18-24. As the coordinator of Dubboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s local Wrap with Love group, she has been busy knitting squares which are then sewn together to make wraps for those in need. With a promise of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;people caring about peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, the organisation has been operational since 1992 and was founded in Sydney by the late Sonia Gidley King. Locally, Mrs Donoghue has been involved for the past 15 years, with the wraps distributed to more than 40 countries around the world during times of crisis or disaster. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are sent to Sydney and go to countries in crisis such as PNG, Afghanistan, Cambodia, East Timor, Philippines, Sierra Leone, Syria, Thailand, Tonga and the Ukraine.â&#x20AC;?

In Australia, they are donated to those who are homeless, asylum seekers, refugees, nursing homes, grief groups, youth organisations, flood and fire victims and other needy people. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sonia Gidley King saw the plight, whenever thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a catastrophe such as bushfires and floods,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Donoghue said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are very colourful and warm. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice and it goes to a lot of people. It can be used for everything. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comforting and multi-purpose.â&#x20AC;? Her own interest stemmed from being saddened by the loneliness of a migrant woman she saw helping others despite her own situation. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now a big part of Mrs Donoghueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, particularly since self-isolation began. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always knitted, my mother was a knitter and crocheter who had six children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started a craft group at St Brigidâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church 12 years ago. There are about 20 of us knitting or crocheting squares. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lovely, handy hobby to have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it fills in a lot of time,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Donoghue explained. Their oldest member was 101 and knitted until she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do it anymore. One of the ladies also commits to making 365 squares each year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made 2000 squares in the

group. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a lot but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never counted them.â&#x20AC;? They recently received a Local Government community grant of $500 and used it to buy bags of wool. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We used to meet every week, and we still keep in touch. It will be nice to get back.â&#x20AC;? Another skill Mrs Donoghue has

been practicing during lockdown has been learning the ukulele so that she can play happy birthday to friends and family. Living with her daughter and granddaughter, Mrs Donoghue hasn’t been lonely. “I like my own company. When I go out, I always have a good time,

but I’m just as happy in my own company.” However, Mrs Donoghue does miss her husband who is currently in residence at Holy Spirit Aged Care after suffering a stroke six years ago. “I haven’t seen him since March 20. But I ring him every day. “It will be nice to see people again.”

THE most frequent request Dubbo Regional Council has so far received via its online portal is for new kitchen caddy liners. “Previously, customers either had to phone Council to make a request, or visit us in person during business hours 9am5pm,” Dubbo Regional Council customer experience manager Caitlin Colliver said. “However, DRC&ME allows residents to order and have them delivered directly to their home, with a few simple clicks of a button.”

Almost 200 people have registered with the new information portal and data collected from the site shows use is outside business hours and weekends. “Another popular service that more people are utilising is the ability to change their address, which previously, residents would have to call to update their details. We’re reaching a whole other audience that we otherwise might not have been able to interact with previously,” Ms Colliver said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

The gift of time By JOHN RYAN

FOR seventeen years Kerry Frost has served on the National Association for Loss and Grief (NALAG) board of management as secretary, she was the Dubbo chapter president for one year, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s provided grief support to clients for the last 20 years and from time to time has provided TAFE students with loss, grief and suicide awareness presentations. Those roles would be emotionally draining as a highly paid role but this humble volunteer said performing this work had been a privilege. In 1999 after several losses occurred in her own life, Kerry said she needed assistance to process her grief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was invited to do a basic loss and grief course and 20 years later have continued to grow and assist people in their grief,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Frost told Dubbo Photo News. Her hours vary according to the needs of NALAG and include providing grief support to clients, secretary of the NALAG board of management and assisting in administration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have had the privilege to travel with chief executive Trudy Hanson in assisting her to provide various workshops

to the indigenous communities out West. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a real learning curve in understanding the plight that our indigenous people struggle with and is often overlooked,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keen to see more people volunteer their services and believes the caring support can make a massive difference for so many people who are struggling with loss and grief. â&#x20AC;&#x153;NALAG over many years has actively engaged in communities through training, speaking engagements and consultation with many providers including schools, doctors and other professionals in the field,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our website has a volunteer section which explains the many roles that a volunteer can be involved in NALAG. Including regular updates on our facebook page of events which may be interest to them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Volunteer recruitment is an ongoing process, sometimes volunteers move on to gain employment or have moved location and, in many cases, we have a solid foundation of long-term volunteers who love the work that they do and are able to cover the gaps.â&#x20AC;? She says volunteers are a

valuable part of NALAGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision by increasing the support the organisation can offer to individuals, families and communities. She also believes being a NALAG volunteer can help individuals by helping others, gaining valuable skills and training in the process as well as experiencing more satisfaction in your life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over a period of 20 years I have had the privilege to sit and listen to people and chil-

dren who have experienced various losses in their lives,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been joy to offer hope and empathy along with a listening ear to validate their grief in a non-judgemental safe environment and acknowledge their feelings without â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trying to fix itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The reward for me is I have been available and supportive to clients as they journey through their grief,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Frost said.

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Electrical Kiosk sparks blaze

Ammo and drugs seized

ESSENTIAL services are certainly essential but they can also be dangerous. An electrical kiosk on Myall Street caught fire about 6.30pm on Saturday and put on a fireworks show for the neighbourhood. Two fire and rescue pumpers attended along with police and Essential Energy crews. There was damage to the fence next to the kiosk and the fire caused a short power outage in the area.

Dubbo drink driving A 23-YEAR-OLD man will face Dubbo Local Court on drink-driving and firearm offences after police stopped a white Mitsubishi Triton on Whylandra Street after it was seen swerving on the road. The driver was subjected to a roadside breath test and allegedly returned a positive result. Officers searched the vehicle where they located and seized ammunition. The man was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station where a breath analysis returned an alleged reading of 0.144. He was charged with drive with mid-range PCA and possess ammunition without holding licence/ permit/authority and given a future court attendance notice to appear at Dubbo Local Court on August 12. His licence was also suspended by police.

Alleged fraud on Dubbo business POLICE have charged a 23-yearold woman after she allegedly defrauded a Dubbo business of nearly $200,000. Dubbo detectives commenced an investigation in March after an agricultural business reported anomalies in financial records. Following inquiries, investigators arrested the woman at a home on Bunglegumbie Road just after 8.30am on May 14. She was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with two counts of dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception.

Mudgee sheep duffing TWENTY-EIGHT mixed sex merino lambs have gone missing from a property in the Uarbry area near Mudgee and police are appealing for information to help them find the sheep. Rural Crime Investigators from Mudgee say the lambs are about 9-10 months old and have a distinctive earmark in the centre of the ear. Police believe that the sheep were stolen between late February 2020 to late April 2020 and are urging anyone who may have any information on the sheep’s whereabouts to contact the Rural Crime Investigator at Mudgee, Detective Senior Constable Adam Macdougall on 6372 8599 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Betting syndicate crushed A 53-YEAR-OLD man has been arrested in Mudgee by detectives from Strike Force Elaroo, a unit which was established to investigate a fraudulent betting syndicate allegedly operating out of the state’s Central West. Investigations centred around allegations of large-scale fraud through a ‘punter’s club’ style betting syndicate and, following extensive inquiries, police arrested the man at a Mudgee home about 1.30pm on May 13.

The man was refused bail to appear via video link at Dubbo Local Court while investigations under Strike Force Elaroo are continuing.

Body found after house fire near Lightning Ridge POLICE set up a crime scene at a Cumborah home which was gutted by fire on May 13. Emergency services were called to the home in Grawin Street, Cumborah, 45km south-west of Lightning Ridge, after neighbours reported a house on fire at about 5am. Fire & Rescue NSW and Rural Fire Service (RFS) crews worked to extinguish the blaze which had engulfed the single-storey pinelog building. Police weren’t able to access the building until about 1.30pm, when the remains were found along with the bodies of three dogs. Police are waiting on the results of a post-mortem examination to formally identify the body of the 74-year-old woman, who lived alone in the home with her dogs. The cause of the fire is yet to be determined. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or

Operation Safer Speeds disappoints POLICE say they’re concerned about poor driver behaviour across the state after Operation Safer Speeds, targeting speeding and dangerous drivers across NSW, was carried out last week. During the 24-hour operation, a total of 2703 speeding infringement notices were issued across the state. Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy, said the operation was focused on taking speeding motorists off our roads to minimise the risk to other road users. “To have 2703 drivers detected speeding on our roads in a single day is shocking and needs to change,” Assistant Commissioner Corboy said. “There are posted speed limits obvious to all on our roads, so speeding above those indicators is a sign of selfish and dangerous behaviour. “Speeding is one of the most commonly reported factors associated with crashes, yet few drivers view speeding as an immediate risk to their personal safety. “There have been 118 lives lost in the first 135 days of 2020 – this is far too many people killed on our roads and needs to change.” z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Funding for repairs at Therapy Centre

Just add water

Much-needed rain and inﬂows have seen the world heritage listed Macquarie Marshes come alive after years of crippling drought. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

By LYDIA PEDRANA IT is amazing what a bit of rain can do, right? These two photos (above) show the Macquarie Marshes northern reedbed just a few months apart. While there’s still a little way to go, the reedbed is on the road to recovery after being wiped out by wildfires sparked by a lightning strike in October 2019. The fires took out around 3000 hectares of the Northern reedbed, as well as some river red gum woodland. The Macquarie Marshes spans 19,850 hectares and is one of the most important nesting sites for water birds in Australia. Following the fires last year,

the Northern reedbed – which is the largest in the Murray Darling Basin – was still suffering in early April, so staff from the Biodiversity and Conservation Division decided it would need to be inundated with 30 gigalitres of water over the next three to five months to save the environmental asset. While rain has helped reeds resprout, the water inundation is needed to continue the growth of the reeds. Earlier this month, the rain-fed shoots stood at 20-90 centimetres in the fire zone, but they will eventually reach between three and four metres high. According to a Department of Industry spokesperson, flows during autumn are particularly

important for the Marshes for the main growth season from September onwards. “We’ve got a situation where we’ve got guys with water in storage because they had access to supplementary water in the last two months, so when all that rain occurred at Dundedoo and Coolah along the Talbragar, there’s been over 200,000-odd megalitres go down on the other side of Dubbo, and we had about 30,000 megalitres of access for supplementary, and the environment had a really good go, so the marshes are looking really good,” the spokesperson said. Since January 19, 240,000-plus megalitres of water flowed past the Baroona gauge (downstream

of Dubbo). Of this, irrigators had around 35,000 megalitres of Supplementary Water Access. Around 130,000 megalitres was delivered to the Macquarie Marshes. Most of the rest was delivered to the “effluent creeks’ (Gunningbar, Marra, and Gum Cowal). Around 170,000 megalitres of water is currently embargoed in the “Drought Account”. The water was suspended from General Security Carryover accounts (30 per cent of their balance) in August 2018. The last allocation to General Security was in August 2017 when Burrendong stood at 86 per cent.

THE Cerebral Palsy Alliance’s Dubbo Therapy Centre will have repairs and painting done thanks to newly announced funding. Dubbo Therapy Centre Services Manager Anne Burns said they create a supportive environment for their clients, and these improvements will go a long way to assist the team in doing that. “We are delighted to have received this funding to improve our facilities. Many of our clients attend our office here in Dubbo and it is important that they have access to a building that is safe and welcoming.” The funding was secured by Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders who said the therapy centre had successfully applied for $10,912 which will be used to complete repairs and painting to the walls, doors, windows and screens at the site. “I know this will help assist the team in providing an atmosphere where the clients and their families will receive the best possible care and support. “The Therapy Centre provides a range of services, programs, events and general support for people and their families living with cerebral palsy and other neurological and physical disabilities.”

COMMUNITY STRATEGIC PLAN Council has prepared the draft 2020/2021 Budget and a new Delivery Program and Operational Plan, which will guide Council’s activites during the 2020/2021 Financial Year. The following draft documents have been made available for public comment: 1. Draft 2020/2021 Delivery Program and Operational Plan 2. Draft Long Term Financial Plan 3. Draft 2020/2021 Budget 4.

Healthy food, minds and community

By JOHN RYAN VOLUNTEERING isn’t just a civic

duty to the ladies who tend and nurture the Walan Community Garden, they say what began as a commitment to community service has not only become a way of life, it’s greatly enhanced their own lives in the process. When Dubbo Photo News visited the garden on a sunny morning last Saturday, the joy amongst the volunteers was obvious, and that wasn’t just because of the aroma emanating from their cooking fire – but we’ll get to that later. Claire Fitzgerald said it’s been an incredible boon to be able to work in the community garden with her friends during the current COVID-19 crisis, where the wide-open spaces meant they could keep plenty of social distance, but still be plenty sociable. “We’ve had a great time down here, we’ve been doing our social-distancing, the girls have

been carting poo and we’re making a big compost heap, everything’s going really well and the garden looks fantastic,” Mrs Fitzgerald told Dubbo Photo News. The ladies say they’re pleased there’s a growing body of research from across the globe which backs up what they already know – that gardening, getting your hands dirty, working with nature, is a great boon for the soul, spirt and general well-being. “It’s amazing for the well-being of us all, and none of us have been sick, it’s been great. We’ve had lots of spinach, pumpkin soup and today we’re having home-grown, home-made spinach pie cooked on our fire and a date cake,” Mrs Fitzgerald said. “Everything’s just fantastic and it’s just great to get down here with our friends, volunteering really is a marvellous thing, oh gosh yeah, it’s really great.” Di Brazell wishes she’d known

Above: The ladies who volunteer at the community garden say the facility has been a Godsend during the COVID-19 crisis, allowing them to do meaningful work, socialise at a distance and eat home-grown food – with multiple mental and physical health beneﬁts. Right: The home-grown, home-cooked spinach pie caused mouths to water in anticipation

about the Walan Community Garden sooner. “I love volunteering, I’ve only been doing it for seven months, these girls have been doing it for three years, it’s terrific, it’s good for your mental health that’s for sure,” Mrs Brazell said. Diane Smith echoed those sentiments, saying that the hidden benefits of volunteering are the positive vibes it creates for each

individual who gives their time to help out. “It’s great, volunteering – it keeps us sane,” Mrs Smith said. “We have a good old chatter and a laugh, it’s just good to get out in the fresh air and have an added purpose.” Claire Fitzgerald had one simple, final, message. “Come on down and help, you’ll love it.”

DUBBO REGIONAL MUSEUM OFFERS VIRTUAL TIME TRAVEL EXPERIENCE IT’S like navigating a Google Maps street but the Dubbo Regional Museum virtual tour offers the inside experience of being in and able to move around their permanent “People Places Possessions” exhibition and collection. “There’s a myriad of opportunities where this tour can be introduced such as; classrooms as teachers explore their programming options, preschools for their connections to community, members of our region who have a connection to, or similar experience of the objects and stories held within,” Dubbo Regional Council’s cultural development coordinator Jessica Moore said.

Three steps to COVIDSafe RURAL Doctors Association of Australia (RDAA) president Dr John Hall has said that the Government’s three step framework provided a good basis for all Australians to manage their COVID-19 risk. “For now, it’s all about the hands,” Dr Hall said. “Indoors – it’s one hand. Five people allowed to gather. Outdoors – two hands and 10 people. Cafes, gyms, playgrounds and other outdoor sport, also two hands. “Weddings can now have 10 people, PLUS the bride, groom and celebrant. Basically, if you go somewhere, look around, do a headcount and you are legs 11? Well that’s the new unlucky number and you need to find somewhere else to go,” Dr Hall said. “We should not be asking our café staff or council staff to police this for us. We should all take responsibility for minimising the risk, helping keep us all COVIDSAFE by paying attention and following the framework. “Of course, social distancing and hygiene measures also remain in place. Keep your distance! You could always stop wearing deodorant; this might help others stay away from you,” he said. “Wash your hands, and if you haven’t mastered the sneeze into the elbow – learn it. “And if you have a sniffle or cough? Stay home! Don’t be a hero – nobody wants to see you at work,” Dr Hall said. “Simple measures like this is what will keep all of us safe.” If numbers of COVID-19 cases remain stable and contact tracing is working, the Government plans to move to Step Two, which allows larger gatherings and more businesses to open, such as personal services like beauty salons and tattoo parlours. “We are really hoping to see Australia returning to business as much as usual over the coming weeks and months,” Dr Hall said. “There are so many Australians struggling with business closures, working from home, home schooling and social isolation, and we want to see our rural communities get back to normal as quickly as possible. “We need their businesses to open, their social lives to resume, and most importantly, have them feel comfortable seeking medical care, which has had a very concerning drop-off over the lockdown period. “We are concerned that we are going to see a spike of serious illness and possibly deaths caused by people delaying seeing their GP,” Dr Hall said. “We assure patients that not only is it safe to see your doctor, it is also important.”

Citizen scientists donate time to nature

More than 50 volunteers are helping a citizen-science project to gather data in a bid to protect and preserve local platypus populations. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED BY BARRY BAKER

By JOHN RYAN LOCAL volunteers are leading the charge when it comes to efforts to protect and preserve the nation’s near-threatened platypus populations. The region’s rivers have been under plenty of stress after years of low water levels thanks to drought, followed by dirty flushes, as wet and wild weather washed tonnes of bare, unprotected topsoil in creeks and tributaries of the Macquarie, resulting in massive fish-kill events. The lowered water quality poses a threat to all inland marine life. Wambangalang Environmental Education Centre recently hosted the second Platypus Survey in Dubbo, with many community members monitoring sites along the Macquarie River between Dubbo and Wellington. The Western Paddlers group coordinated sites in Wellington and more than 50 people in total volunteered across the survey area. There were confident sightings of three platypuses and one rakali (water rat). Geoff Williams is a biologist for the Australian Platypus Conservancy and says it’s vital that researchers can gather data to establish how populations are faring across its entire range.

“Traditional methods for monitoring numbers in the wild have severe limitations,” Mr Williams told Dubbo Photo News. “Live-trapping surveys, in particular, are very time-consuming, can only be conducted by trained biologists working in accordance with permits and ethics committee approvals and are subject to suitable weather conditions – all of which means that only a relatively tiny amount of monitoring can be carried out effectively. “However, over the past decade the Australian Platypus Conservancy has been developing a standardised method of visual monitoring which means that any interested person can now help keep track of local platypus numbers simply and effectively,” he said. Visual surveys can be conducted by a group of volunteers working together at set times throughout the year to provide an initial snapshot of platypus numbers and identify key sites. Individual volunteers can then ideally monitor select locations on a continuous basis to track changes in populations over time. “It is not a time-consuming process – a standard scan to determine whether a platypus is present only requires five minutes, ideally at least two or three times a week,” Mr

Williams said. Volunteers can register through the Australian Platypus Monitoring Network (w w w.platypusnetwork.org. au) and submit their data online or via a special app. Several hundred volunteers have already joined APMN

since it was established a year ago and the program is already yielding important insights into the status of the iconic platypus, particularly as it is providing the only practical way of studying issues such as the impact of droughts, floods and bushfires.

Transparency from big business about payment times legislated

THERE’S great news for businesses in the western region beholden to big business and all-too-often delays in bill payments. The federal government tabled the Payment Times Reporting Bill 2020 last week which will require businesses with turnover of more than $100 million to publish information about their payment policies. “Much of the Australian small business community has been devastated by the COVID-19 health and economic crisis and prompt payment times are critical to their survival,” Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Kate Carnell said. “This reporting framework will require big businesses to be up front and honest about the time it takes to pay their small business suppliers. “It will be important that the information reported is easy to access and integrate,” Mrs Carnell said. “This gives small businesses some choice around who they do business with. “My office will be invoking the powers we have to investigate any reports of big businesses failing to live up to the information provided on this register once it is implemented,” she said.

THE NSW Government has committed up to $82 million over six months to support local government early childhood services who are ineligible for the Commonwealth Government’s

JobKeeper payments. Eligible services include Long Day Care, Out of School Hours Care and Family Day Care co-ordinators and support staff who are employed by local

councils. “Dubbo Regional Council will be receiving $194,367 to help run Dubbo Family Day Care, and Rainbow Cottage Child Care Centre Dubbo. While Mid-West-

Viral volunteer kindness By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THEY say communities are like teabags, because you don’t know how strong they are until you put them in hot water! It’s one of many messages motivating a certain viral behaviour overtaking Trangie and Narromine. The “Viral Kindness Trangie and Narromine NSW” group launched on March 22, to support the two communities during the COVID-19 Pandemic. On the same day, the Trangie Local Aboriginal Land Council had made some small packs of essential items for elderly residents in the towns who might not have been able to access items through normal means. A name and the contact number of the right person to call was featured in a post. The next day, a local pharmacy made an announcement to the page that home delivery would be available.

Word quickly spread via flyers posted in the towns, letting people who were not on Facebook know there was a group of people at the ready to support them. At that time, one of the group’s volunteers Kirsty Wettenhall advised anyone willing to connect with the page were welcome to post photos of resources to share such as fresh farm eggs, magazines, DVDs, puzzles, deliveries or “maybe even loo paper”. She also cited a quote from Princess Diana: “Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you.” Within three weeks of launching around 20 volunteers in the Narromine community were donating their time to help anyone in need. “If you know of someone in the older age bracket (who are higher risk) or

someone who just needs help with getting groceries, pharmaceuticals or someone who would just appreciate a friendly phone call, we can help,” Mrs Wettenhall said. Today, the page continues to distribute information with tips on dealing with stress, for beating boredom, cooking, updates on restrictions and ongoing offers of donations. On a national level, COTA Australia, National Seniors, Dementia Australia and the Older Person’s Advocacy Network has set up a new Older Person’s COVID-19 Support Line to provide information, support and check on older Australians during the period of social distancing measures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic on free call, 1800 171 866.

Mega bucks for megafauna zone By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY CHARLES Darwin’s mega mind and published writings were influenced by Wellington Caves fossil samples and the animals once found roaming there were also pretty big, so it was fitting to learn the Megafauna Education Zone has received a whopping $250,000 in funds. “The Wellington Caves Visitor Experience is a unique and much-loved tourist attraction for Central West residents and beyond, and this funding will help draw more local visitors to the region as we recover from both the bushfires and COVID-19,” Member for Calare and Minister for Decentralisation and Regional Education, Andrew Gee, said last week.

“The newly established Megafauna Education Room has been a wonderful addition to the caves and the planned enhancements will surely add to the enjoyment and educational experience for all who visit,” he said. The funds have come via Dubbo Regional Council which has secured $1 million under Round 2 of the Federal Government’s Drought Communities Programme (DCP) (Extension) for the delivery of drought resilient work across the Dubbo Region. Council will use the funding to help deliver five key projects totalling $2,064,700, with Council co-contributing $1,064,700.

Cafés connecting community By NATALIE LEWIS SOME of Wellington’s cafes are faring well through COVID-19 which has challenged many retailers and hospitality outlets in the region. Café 2820 and Takeaway on Lee have closed their doors in recent months while the Cactus Café and Gallery recently reopened after a four-month break in trading. Owner Marilyn Keirle has been recovering from knee surgery and is pleased to be back serving her loyal customers.

“Lockdown has been good for me to recuperate. “We are getting back into it. I was happy to veg out with the cat but it’s lovely to be back, lovely to see our customers again,” she laughed. The ever-popular Cactus also received a makeover in that time. “We have given the place a facelift, refreshing the paint and re-oiling the floors,” Mrs Keirle explained to Dubbo Photo News. Reopening for three days a week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, the café’s menu has transferred well to

Owners of Cookies Café Monika and Marcus Cooke

takeaway and delivery with soup, wedges, melts, fish and chips, coffee and cakes along with daily specials. From May 15, restricted trading has begun to ease and extended to 10 customers being allowed to dine in. Mrs Keirle said they will make the most of their large outdoor area and verandah setting to serve patrons while maintaining social distancing. “A 1.5 metre distance won’t be an issue,” she said. “Certainly while the weather is nice, we’ll be able to serve customers outdoors. We always try to bend over backwards and give them good service.” Mrs Keirle believes that being in isolation has helped the community. “It’s been tough but it will do us all a load of good. With things like handicraft, gardening and DIY, what it’s made us all do is a bonus.” Cookies Café has also rolled with the recent changes, altering their layout to meet government requirements. Opening Monday to Thursday, owners Marcus

and Monika Cooke shifted to a takeaway and delivery menu last month. “With all the restrictions, we’ve changed the look of the place,” Mr Cooke said. “We’ve brought everything forward such as the fridge and bain-marie so that the dining room is standing room only, we’ve restricted access to 2-3 people maximum. We are focusing on takeaway, and we are delivering for orders over $20.” Mr Cooke said their entire menu is suited to takeaway as well as dining-in so they have coped well with the changes. “We have also made frozen meals such as risotto and pasta and offered a service where customers can phone their order through and we can deliver to their car outside.” Since the COVID-19 began, Cookies Café has been offering discounts on hot drinks to health care workers. “We have friends and family who are health care workers, so everyone gets looked after,” Mr Cooke explained. During this time of uncertainty, there are also plans to diversify the business with a

small giftware corner. “We’re just waiting on normal, the new normal,” Mr Cooke said. “Now more than ever, we need to believe that things we have done in the past, we will be able to do in the future.” Outside of business, he has also been helping others

through this time and is one of many volunteers actively giving their time in the Wellington area who will be celebrated as part of National Volunteer Week from May 18-24. “A friend of mine was offering to do shopping for people who couldn’t get out, so it started there,” he said.

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

Hiccups as local eateries open doors By LYDIA PEDRANA AS local cafes and restaurants struggle to stay viable serving just 10 customers at a time, Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders vowed to fight for eased restrictions. Mr Saunders believes dining venues should be able to operate under the same rules as retail spaces, which allow one person per four square metres. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last week I launched a survey for cafĂŠ and restaurant owners to provide me with their feedback on the easing restrictions,â&#x20AC;? he told Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many indicated to me that being allowed to host just 10 patrons at a time was not financially viable, particularly for some larger venues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Retail spaces are permitted to operate under the four square metre rule, and I believe cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs could do the same thing.â&#x20AC;? While NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has been clear she wants to see the

entire state move forward as one, Mr Saundersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; believes the regions can lead the way out of the coronavirus lockdowns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have lower population density and little to no cases so I think the risk of a second wave out here could be far lower, provided we all still do the right thing,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also think the benefits of reopening would be far greater out here; three years of intense drought was too much for some regional businesses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll continue to fight for these cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs because I think, after three years of record drought, businesses in this region need a bit of extra support.â&#x20AC;? Errin Williamson, who owns Church Street CafĂŠ, would usually seat around 80 diners in her indoor-outdoor venue but had to turn approximately 100 potential customers away last weekend. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappointing turning people away, we are known

for finding a table even if we are full, we have trestles and stuff out the back, so we are pretty well known for just being able to fit people in if we can,â&#x20AC;? she said. Mrs Williamson also questioned the State Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10-person threshold rather than allowing hospitality businesses to follow the one person per four square metre rule. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For us, we have 300 square metres out the front, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s huge,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During those peak periods, we could seat a lot of people quite safely and I could employ more people and that would be great for us, but having just 10 people, it limits our staff and it means those staff have to work hard to manage 10 people (dining in), as well as takeaways.â&#x20AC;? For now, the Church Street CafĂŠ has several caveats in place for customers who want to eat in to make sure they can cater for as many people as possible while sticking to the rules â&#x20AC;&#x153;We only have tables out

the front and we had a onehour time limit and on weekends, we are going to do a minimum spend.â&#x20AC;? Short Street Store has also enforced a one-hour time limit on tables and is considering putting minimum spend in place for weekends. Owner Krysten Hedger was grateful to have customers back in the cafĂŠ but was let down by a few who ignored government restrictions and ate their takeaway orders on the park bench located at the side of the venue, despite the cafĂŠ already being at its 10-person capacity. Her staff allegedly faced

backlash after politely asking people to move on, forcing Ms Hedger to seek advice from a local police officer who suggested she make the seat unavailable. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t making rules up to annoy you,â&#x20AC;? Ms Hedger said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not going to get a fine for breach of regulation; if you have a problem with this then donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s simple.â&#x20AC;? Meanwhile, for Alistair Dyson-Holland, the owner of popular Bultje Street cafĂŠ, Press, opening his large venue to just 10 patrons is not worthwhile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not doing any-

thing until you can open fully,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not (viable for us), the space is pretty big, and you need a lot of staff to be able to service the areas we have, so having just 10 people in there doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense.â&#x20AC;? Mr Dyson-Holland hopes the Governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stage three will come into effect by July, which will allow cafes and restaurants to hold up to 100 people while still following the four-square metres per person indoors. In the meantime, Press will continue its takeaway service, which Mr Dyson-Holland said had been â&#x20AC;&#x153;excellentâ&#x20AC;?.

Podcast attracting doctors to the bush By LYDIA PEDRANA

AFTER working as a doctor in a rural setting, there is no way Dr Daniel Stewart would return to a metro hospital. Now the director of emergency medicine at Dubbo Base Hospital, Dr Stewart is encouraging other medical students and graduates to consider a stint in the country. Recently sharing his story on Destination Medicine, a podcast by the Western NSW Regional Training Hub house within the School of Rural Medicine which encourages medical students to do their post-graduate training in the country, Dr Stewart said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s found Dubbo to be the most exciting rural location heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever worked in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a little bit to do with the rural lifestyle before I became a medical student just with holidays to the country and then I did my final year of medical school training at the School of Rural Health in Dubbo and it just really appealed to me, the lifestyle, as well as the workplace and the case mix, the kind of medicine that we do,â&#x20AC;? he told Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think you can go wrong (working as a rural doctor), I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a bad decision to practise rurally for a period of time, even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay permanently, the experiences that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll acquire during that time will serve you well throughout the rest of your career.â&#x20AC;?

cal career in rural and regional Australia. The honest, first-hand accounts aim to help those considering the country to navigate a rural medical pathway. Western NSW Regional Training Hub director Linda Cutler said the podcast series has so far been well received, with many episodes garnering more than 1,800 listens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole idea of the podcast series is to share the stories of people who have elected to work and practise in a rural area, and why, and just to tell the story of the pathway and how they got there â&#x20AC;&#x201C; so it does make it real to people and it often then provides information about training opportunities that they may well have thought didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exist,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It also is hopefully going to influence people who are currently undertaking training but havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t decided where to practise when they graduate.â&#x20AC;? Dubboâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Rural Health,

established in 2001, is a medical school where students complete their third or fourth year of their medical degree. The school offers 16 third year placements and 16 fourth year placements and often has more applicants than slots. Meanwhile, the Regional Training Hub, established in 2017, focuses on post-graduate training, encouraging students to do this rurally and ensuring that anyone wanting to stay in the bush can stay, while also encouraging more to do so. So, what more needs to be done to attract doctors to the region? According to Mrs Cutler, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about exposing students to opportunities regional and rural areas hold. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t been here and experienced rural practise, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unlikely they will make the choice to come rural,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the government really has done a lot in this regard, and

certainly funding the Regional Training Hubs is once again just an additional card in the deck, so to speak, because we work with students and advanced trainees to show them the amount and type of training they can do in rural and regional centres and before that, medical training is quite a maze, selecting where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to go and what bits youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do here and there, so to have someone who assists you in finding that will be helpful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have worked with the health services to increase training and the Commonwealth Government do fund additional advanced training positions, all of those are ingredients in getting more doctors to come rurally.â&#x20AC;? In Dr Stewartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s opinion, allowing doctors to train as specialists in rural hospitals and endorsing the positive impacts doctors have on rural areas and their citizens are two ways of making a career in the country more appealing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to make it quite clear that what has been done over the last 10 to 15 years, I recognise a lot of effort has been started and it is working and the systems are effective, the School of Rural Health is a perfect example and we are seeing doctors who may otherwise never have come to rural areas, identifying that rural areas and the work here are attractive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To build up on that already good work, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s probably two areas where I think you could do more; one is opening up training pathways that are based within rural referral hospitals for different

specialities, this has been known for a while to be a bit of a bottleneck for training, if doctors need to go back to the city to complete three, four, five years of specialist training, they tend to put down roots and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to leave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The other thing that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been thinking about more recently, is advertising and promoting the appeal of being a generalist practitioner with high-level skills in multiple areas, for instance emergency medicine, general anaesthetic, surgery, obstetrics, promoting that practise pathway and then also promoting how attractive it can be for doctors with those skills to go to your smaller rural sites further out in the peripheral parts of rural NSW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plenty of space out there for young doctors to move into and I personally think it would be quite an attractive proposition to go into a town and make it your own town and have a real-time effect on the healthcare of an entire town, just as an individual, and then to support that process, that repopulation of the rural towns with the existence of medical officers.â&#x20AC;? In another step forward to filling the rural doctor void, the School of Rural Health in Dubbo is currently undergoing a $95 million expansion which will allow University of Sydney students to study their four-year medical degree from end to end. The first intake of 24 students will be in 2022. To listen to Destination Medicine, visit destinationmedicine.com.au

The many wheels of volunteering By JOHN RYAN GARRY BROWN was born in Muswellbrook as one of three brothers and did his schooling in the town before winning a teacher’s scholarship to Newcastle University. He was appointed to Dubbo South High School in 1972 and taught Social Science as well as offering careers’ advice and coaching the open rugby league side, that school team taking out the University Shield in 1991. After 22 Years at South, Garry was appointed Vocational Education and Training Consultant Dubbo and Broken Hill Districts where he served for nine years before a six year stint as Chief Education Officer Western Region NSW. He married Cheryl Wilson and they have three kids: Kristen, Kurt and Dane as well as six grandchildren. He founded Macquarie Darling Work Placement Incorporated now Trading as Western Student Connections and managed that Not-For-Profit organisation for six years after retiring from the education department. Garry co-organised the Queen’s visit to Dubbo in 1992 and Kay Cottee’s presentation to Western Area High School girls in 1990, and has been appointed a life member to Western Schools Sports Associa-

tion, Combined High Schools Rugby League and Group XI Referee’s Association. His volunteering roles are legion: Treasurer Dubbo Teacher’s Federation, President Dubbo South Primary School P and C, Treasurer and referee Dubbo Junior Rugby League, Vice-President Country RL Referee’s Association, Dubbo District Brass Band Committee, Westside Junior RL Coach, South Dubbo Junior RL coach, Dubbo CYMS under 18 years RL coach, Group XI 16 years RL coach. He’s currently Western Student Connections president and a volunteer with Dubbo CYMS ‘Old Boys’ and The Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie. This shows the diversity of Garry Brown.

unable to purchase or prepare their own meals. How has the COVID-19 crisis affected the running of Dubbo meals on Wheels? We had to ‘retire’ our volunteers. This was a Board considered issue as we were very aware that the majority of our volunteers were actually in the at-risk category for COVID-19. The staff including our manager Peter English have ‘taken over the reins’ but in the past couple of weeks we have employed student nurses in the interim funding period to relieve some of the pressure on staff. At some stage moving forward we will welcome our previous volunteers ‘back into the fold’. Given the Covid-19 restrictions a couple of weeks ago our Manager and his assistant had to travel to and from Wilcannia in one day to deliver frozen meals. How severe is the extra workload? There is an extra workload, for the employed staff of MOW, adding more hours to what can be considered normal. The board agreed that over the first 3 months of the COVID-19 crisis the president, vice-president and manager were to meet as regularly as needed to respond to current issues dur-

ing the crisis. This has occurred via Zoom on a weekly basis. The treasurer is now part of these Zoom meetings. The board is then informed weekly or more often as required. The board will meet through Zoom or social distancing within the next week or so. How difficult it a crisis like this for a volunteer board to cope with, given it ups the ante regarding governance issues such as cleaning/social distancing and the sheer amount of extra money needed to ensure meals are safely delivered to the city’s most vulnerable residents? The board has coped very well with the changes, we have had continual input into all decisions made by the (MOW) executive especially in relation to additional funding from the Commonwealth. This has enabled us to employ student nurses and to provide additional meals to many of our new clients. Anything you’d like to add? MOW has had an increase in client numbers as older people have not felt comfortable in doing shopping. MOW is ‘a lot more than just a meal’ as we pride ourselves in being the preferred supplier of high quality meals and other support services to over 65 year old people living in their own home in Dubbo and surrounding towns and villages such as Narromine, Trangie and Wilcannia.

DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL SMART WATER METER ROLLOUT

Rollout commences 1 June 2020 in Zone 1, Central Dubbo. Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) is delivering a renewal of its existing water meter ﬂeet across the Dubbo Regional Local Government Area (LGA). This whole-of-LGA water meter upgrade program will ensure that Council can continue to provide all residential and commercial properties with a safe, reliable

and cost-effective drinking water supply. Council is taking this opportunity to replace ageing water meter infrastructure with new smart water meter technology, which will provide significant benefits to residential households, businesses and Council business units in managing water consumption.

ell Hi Mitch

The beneﬁts of smart water meter technology include: Early detection of leaks. Allows property owners to monitor their water usage via an online portal or smart device.

Enables Council customer experience staﬀ to respond more eﬀectively to usage enquiries. Reduces non-revenue water by identifying losses in the system.

Provides data and information to assist with strategies to manage water usage.

The process of upgrading your water meter is estimated to take around 15 minutes with little disruption to the water supply. The contractor will approach the front door and notify the occupant of the upgrade. If you are not at the property at the time, a ﬂyer will be left under your front door or mailbox notifying you of the work undertaken to your water meter. For more information about the water meter renewal program or smart water meter technology, please visit Council’s website at dubbo.nsw.gov.au/smartmeters

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Mayor responds to security fence story The Editor, I wish to respond to the Council Watch article “Black ‘Diplomat’ security fence to cage residential walkways” [Dubbo Photo News, May 14]. It’s a terrible shame that the article didn’t mention the positives and ignored the key facts on why Council is seeking to close these laneways. Let’s look at the actual facts that were ignored in the story. 1. In our surveys, support for the closure of walkways averaged 80 per cent, with support for the closure of the 10 individual walkways ranging from 78.3 per cent to 86.3 per cent. Those opposed to the closure of individual walkways ranged from 13.7 per cent to 21.7 per cent. The results were quite clear that the majority of people were in favour of closures.

2. Where possible Council’s preference is to sell the walkway land to adjacent landowners and have boundary fences adjusted. However in some places this isn’t possible because of an operational need to retain the land such as a utility easement and that is where the black “Diplomat” fencing will be used. 3. The first paragraph saying that the global trend of building walls in hope of curbing anti-social problems is not only using emotive words, but is totally irrelevant to a neighbourhood social issue. Donald Trump’s wall is not a relevant or logical argument when it comes to the streets of Dubbo. 4. Local police have always indicated that these laneways are problem spots. They serve as an escape for people wishing to evade policing and police have been very supportive of closing

ADVERTORIAL

FROM THE BOOKSHELVES ] By DAVE PANKHURST, The Book Connection

UNTIL recently, I was not aware that George Orwell once worked in a bookstore and later wrote “Bookshop Memories”. To quote his text, “Our shop had an exceptionally interesting stock, yet I doubt whether ten per cent of our customers knew a good book from a bad one.” This reference was taken from Shaun Bythell’s “Diary of a Bookseller”. As I talk with our customers it becomes apparent that their decision to secure a particular book comes from newspaper and other mainstream media promotions, or from internet prompting. This is a change from my earlier decades in books when customers would come in and browse the shelves, without any particular title in mind, to decide which book would suit their particular interest. Back then, our selection of around 45,000 books was seen as a pool of resources, with their ultimate choices often being a title different to their first intentions. Here are a few titles which we would put under the “interesting and unusual” banner – it’s a banner that we featured in our front window years ago. Tony Barrell is the author of “The Real Far East” – it’s not China or Japan, not even Siberia. It is a vast land of ice, forests, bears, tigers, gold,

these. 5. Modern town planning and safer by design principles certainly advise against these kinds of small narrow lanes because of the problems they cause. They are a bad design from the ‘70s and ‘80s that we are left trying to find a solution for. 6. The article mentioned issues with roaming cats. The report to Council, and the subsequent debate by Councillors, didn’t mention any of this. I am unsure what relevance this has to do with closing the laneways. I am proud of the current Council’s attempts to assist in fixing some of Dubbo’s social problems. Not only are we partnering with local police and social service organisations, we are actively putting in infrastructure like security cameras and extra lighting. We are also pushing for a drug court and rehabilitation centre for the region. Fixing the region’s anti-social elements requires a broad array of initiatives. It should be acknowledged that some of those initia-

tives include better-designed ti-social nocturnal behavneighbourhoods. iour once they see the fences installed.” Ben Shields, Mayor, Dubbo To clarify, this was not reRegional Council ported as a view of Council Editor’s note: Dubbo Photo or any specific councillor, News wishes to clarify part but instead an observation of the story referred to in the by the author based on her above letter [“Black ‘Diplo- research into the issue, and mat’ security fence to cage we should have made that clearer at the time. residential walkways”].

by the taxpayers”, Dubbo Photo News, May 30, was exacerbated during our editing process by adding a dollar sign instead of the word “litres”, giving the letter an intention it never had. To correct the record, the last paragraph should have read: “The Commonwealth has a responsibility to purchase the remaining 47.5 billion litres of water still under the buyback cap, most of that water is to be purchased in the Northern Basin, for use in the parched Darling River.”

Time to enjoy reading a good book salmon and a handful of very rich men on the very eastern edge of Asia. It is Russian, and it is filled with nomadic herders, nostalgic exiles, and gangster politicians, a place where the grandchildren of the gulags linger in desperate hope – or take a one way ticket west on the Trans-Siberian. Almost as big as Australia, its history is similar – convicts, pioneers, massive natural resources, multiculturalism – and it is in serious decline. The ruins left by command economy communism are everywhere. This is an extraordinary story of journeys through the remote, difficult and politically volatile areas of the former Soviet empire and its people. “Between Marx and Muhammad” reveals the changing face of central Asia. Author Dilip Hiro writes about the region since the collapse of the Soviet Union. From Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan to Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, the newly independent Musli m-major it y states of Central Asia are working their way through a difficult time. Each country is working to establish its identity, and ethnic tensions have given rise to political and civil strife. The chance of a free market, and multi-party democracy is discussed. Jowita Bydlowska tells her story as an alcoholic mother in “Drunk Mum”. With brutal honesty she takes us through the binges and blackouts, self-deception and

less successful attempts to deceive others, the extra-ordinary risk taking and dealing with motherhood. The memoir tells of the anxiety, depression and rehab, of being saddened and appalled by her own behaviour. This is a can’t-putdown read. From a political career where he was a member of both major political parties and some minor parties, Peter Breen writes about his “political illness”, practising law and working as an adviser to crossbench senators in the Australian Parliament. His memoir “Candidates Disease” discusses the minor party epidemic that “almost saved our democracy”. It is a rare insight into what happens behind the scenes in a representative democracy, where there’s a gene pool for the major parties, and where the minor parties are getting more votes and having more influence – and more than their fair share of chaos. However this increase in votes for minor parties has not been reflected in additional seats, mainly due to changes in the 2016 changes in the Senate voting system. From the Australian History section comes “Named and Shamed” by Neryl East. It details Rod Oxley’s inside story of a Wollongong corruption scandal, the NSW ICAC investigations and findings. East’s book includes claims of sex in return for the approval of development applications,

the extortion of conmen, and political corruption that licked the heels of the state government. A chilling message. With the quality of our food being an increasing subject of attention, “Sustainable Vegetable Production From Start-Up to Market” brings this issue to our attention. Author Vernon Grubinger helps both inspiring and experienced growers to plan and manage profitable and environmentally-sound vegetable production systems. It is a valuable reference showing profiles of growers, graphic layout, budgeting graphs, and how to market the produce. When the Titanic sank, so did the Edwardian age that created it. Author of “The Ship of Dreams”, Gareth Russell, has done more research to cover previously unseen accounts of the ‘unsinkable’ ship’s tragic voyage, and adds the involvement of six travellers on that voyage. Included are a Jewish immigrant, an American movie star, a member of the British nobility and a titan of industry. The detail evokes the scale of Titanic life – the attention to detail shows that passengers even had to book a hot bath. This is a fine coverage of the tragic event plus how it was seen through the eyes of passengers. Talking to customers about “The International Handbook of Technical Mountaineering”, it

appears that most just want to read about how others handle the experience – but there are some who might just want to go out and climb “the hill”. We can watch half a minute of a person in action on TV, but Peter Hill’s book has 250 pages that takes us through what those climbers undertake. Rock faces, ski slopes, crevasses, sports climbing, lowland rock climbing and much more. You can see what is involved to go abseiling with and without a harness, the various grades of glaciers, harnesses, using a hip hoist, hammering pegs, and all the necessary equipment. How much similarity is there between the USA and Australian politics? Author Benjamin Wiker has reviewed books on democratic processes in “10 Books That Every Conservative Must Read” plus four others not to miss. He examines how “The Road to Serfdom” by Friedrich Hayek details the route that America is following and how Alexis de Tocqueville predicted Americans could fall prey to a politician like Obama. References from other authors included are Aristotle, Voegelin, Hamilton, Belloc and Shakespeare. This selection takes books from just ten of our categories. Through our bookstore we have 110 separate departments, arranging the books to make your browsing worthwhile. Welcome to our bookstore, and enjoy your reading, Dave Pankhurst.

Thumbs Up to JR Detailing for their friendly and professional service and the excellent job they did on my car recently.

Thumbs Up to Elwyn from Leven Smash Repairs for amazing service!

Thumbs Up to all the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff of the Emergency Department at Dubbo Base Hospital. Thank you so much for all your great care, professionalism and for your thorough, friendly and attentive help. Much appreciated!

Thumbs Up to all the wonderful doctors and nurses at Dubbo Base Hospital for their care during my stay for removal of my appendix. A special thanks to Jannie and student nurse Joanne who had great sense of humour that made my stay better.

Thumbs Up to Chelsea at the Optus outlet in Orana Mall, Dubbo. She patiently sorted out multiple problems with getting a new phone, it’s such a relief to be able to deal with a pleasant person and also get away from the nightmare that was Telstra.

Thumbs Up to Brenda and Jen from Regional Australia Bank Dubbo for assisting two young men obtain their ﬁrst loans. Your friendly and personalised service was an encouraging and stress-free experience, thank you.

Thumbs Down to the Dubbo Council using a Bobcat to spread topsoil on the ovals near Tamworth Street. For less than $1000 you can buy a Topsoil spreader – it would pay for itself in no time, much quicker and far more efficient than a Bobcat. Rate payers deserve better.

Thumbs Up to Julian at Experimac at Orana Mall for spending so much time transferring data from three different mobile phones as well as ﬁxing up a long-running problem with Apple ID on one of the phones, a problem that seemed like it was never going to end. He went way above and beyond any reasonable expectation I had as a client and as a person from a generation where many struggle with digital technology. I cannot thank him enough for both his courtesy and professionalism!

Happy hairdresser giving her clients more than the clippers By JOHN RYAN VOLUNTEERING can be in almost any sphere of human endeavour and one local stylist has shown how hairdressers can bring so much joy into people’s lives by the simplest of acts. Utilising her skills with the scissors, Emerson Drady spent 12 months volunteering at Holy Spirit aged care facility offering free haircuts to the elderly residents. Many of her clients were too infirm to get to a hairdressers and told Dubbo Photo News they greatly ap-

preciated these acts of kindness. Families of the residents also said it was a little thing, but very important for their elderly relatives who often felt like new people when they’d had their locks trimmed. Ms Drady said she enjoyed having little chats with the residents while she was cutting their hair. “I loved every moment of it,” she said. “I received an appreciation award from catholic healthcare. Hairdressing can give you so many opportunities.”

Sheeple Vance Montgomery thought readers of Dubbo Photo News’ popular Paparazzi section may enjoy this picture he snapped with his trusty mobile phone late on a lazy Sunday afternoon. “The faithful ﬂock departing a local church last Sunday on the outskirts of Wellington,” is how he described it. It certainly gives a whole new literal meaning to the word-association between ‘church’ and ‘ﬂock’.

High ﬁve! It’s not every day you see a kangaroo giving a Hi-5 to our hard-working community volunteers, but here it is in full colour Australia’s native fauna is certainly cruising through this current pandemic. Credit for this classic Paparazzi snap goes to Berenice Sneesby who took it when she was up visiting family from her home on the Central Coast, pre-COVID-19. Dad Colin says they didn’t initially realise what a great picture they had.

Mother’s Day 2020 It was a bit different wasn’t it. Dubbo Photo News invited locals to post their Mother’s Day thoughts and photos and we received some beauties.

` I’m a single mum and my kids didn’t have money to buy a gift so they gave me a book of vouchers that I could use for them to do jobs around the house, give me extra hugs, foot massages and cups of tea. It’s very cute and really means more than any gift they could go and spend money on. a – Liana Taylor Soph Johnson with third child, Fox, on Mother’s Day.

Lee Judd: My daughter made me a lovely high tea of cucumber sandwiches, pumpkin and caramelised onion quiche, cheese and pimento rounds followed by mars bar slice.

Josh Benson Company: Baptistcare at home Position: Care Facilitator I got involved in business... I wanted a career that provided real job satisfaction, helping the vulnerable, more senior residents in our community gives me that. Our business is known for... providing quality and reliable in-home support to enable our clients to remain independent and empowered. We are also one of the longest serving providers of home care in Dubbo and surrounds having started over 20 years ago. The best feedback we receive is for... most definitely all our care staff. They provide a great service to our many clients in sometimes difficult circumstances. My role in the business... involves travel across the region meeting clients and making sure they receive quality care. I also provide advice on navigating “My Aged Care” and what products and services are available under all levels of home care. According to my staff, working for me is... Hopefully positive... my bark is definitely worse than my bite! I spend my down time... relaxing at home with family. Any spare time I try to devote to finishing the many landscaping jobs at my home. I might be finished in a few years the way I’m going!

P Please note: Prices aare believed correct aat time of publication aand are subject to change. Stocks may ch bbe limited. Please check with the individual stores to conﬁrm specs, pricing and availability.

In my opinion, the biggest issue facing small businesses is... obviously COVID19. Our elderly clients are particularly at risk and thus adhering to government restrictions regarding them staying at home is so important. Unfortunately, this goes so against our goal at Baptistcare of keeping our clients active and socially engaged. What three famous people, dead or alive would you invite to dinner? Steffi Graf, David Attenborough and Turia Pitt. All inspirational individuals who have either been successful or overcome huge challenges. I’m most proud of... being able to contribute towards the growth of the business to enable us to employ an additional ten local people over the past eighteen months. We now employ over 30 care staff in Dubbo and surrounding towns. When you were a child, what did you want to do when you grew up? Marine Biologist. The best piece of career advice I can offer is... if you are unhappy in your current job, do something about it. The ﬁrst step is the most difﬁcult but it’s never too late to make a change. Life is too short to be unhappy. If I wasn’t in my current role, I’d... be travelling Australia, exploring this incredible country we live in. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/ EMY LOU

Sainted life-saving volunteer By JOHN RYAN AT 67, grandmother Helen Harris says she’s getting ready to retire. The former teacher, school counsellor and animal carer normally works at Taronga Western Plains Zoo (TWPZ) as a guest services officer but is on redeployment thanks to the COVID-19 crisis. She also volunteers with St John Ambulance and with Zoo Friends at TWPZ. Tell us about your role with St John Ambulance. I AM currently a volunteer with the Orana Combined Division as their divisional training officer and an advanced responder. I am also a corporate and volunteer trainer with the training branch of St John. I attend different events as an event health services volunteer, getting out, doing the first aid and keeping the public safe at different events. That’s the best part of volunteer ing. I also teach people how to do basic first aid in public first aid courses, and am also responsible for training members of our division. When did you start and what prompted you to get involved? In 1979 I came across a serious motor vehicle accident. I felt so helpless because I had no idea what to do. I decided I would never be in that position again. While I know I can’t save everyone, I can at least stop and have a go, and call for help. So, I did a first aid course. When we were in Tamworth in 1998, my boys played in-line hockey and were competing in a tournament where St John volunteers were providing first-aid services. I got talking to them and was encouraged to join. I was so impressed by their professionalism and level of training that I decided I wanted to be part of this wonderful organisation. It’s one of the best things I have ever done! On a daily or weekly basis, what roles do you perform with St John? Our division meets weekly by Zoom, and in normal times, face to face. We meet in Wellington every Tuesday night for training. Then, depending on availability, we attend various sporting and cultural events around the area to provide first aid services. So it varies. During normal times (pre-COVID) I was also a first aid trainer and would train public first aid courses every fortnight. I am also a first aider at the zoo during normal work times. Talk us through a one-day or weekend deployment. It varies depending on the event. Sometimes they are very early starts to get to the event, and late finishes, or sometimes it can be just a few hours. Some of the longer events we do are the Parkes Elvis festival, Trundle ABBA festival, the Tamworth Country Music Festival, events in Sydney and surrounds, Bathurst events and we travel to places such as Condobolin, Mudgee, and all places in between. We pack our kits and the vehicle beforehand. When we arrive at the venue, we set up our post,

have our event briefing then can relax until we are called to respond. Often we just sit quietly, getting to know each other, extending friendship groups, watching the event, having impromptu training sessions, responding to questions about finding toilets, taps, lost children, event organisers, talking about first aid courses or experiences patrons have had, answering their questions, or we can be as busy as anything with patients to treat. When we are called to respond, we provide patient care, and if necessary, call the ambulance to transport the patient to hospital. Patient care? Anything from providing band aids, sunscreen, insect bites, bumps, bruises, scratches through to the more serious injuries and illnesses. Most of it is straightforward, but we sometimes get the more challenging situations, such as serious injuries and medical emergencies. If we are not busy at an event, it means that everyone is safe and healthy – and that’s what we like. It’s the reassurance that help is there if needed. When the event finishes, we pack up, return to headquarters, unpack the equipment and head home. What sort of training do you get through the organisation? Once you have your Provide First Aid certificate, which is the necessary pre-requisite to becoming a member, all further training is provided.

Through St John, I now have what is called Advanced Responder skills and Occupational First Aid. I have my Certificate III in Basic Health Care and my Certificate II in Emergency Medical Service First Response. There are many other courses St John offers, depending upon your interests and time commitments. Recent online training modules have included major trauma management, event management, mental health first aid and selfcare, managing drug and alcohol affected patients, pharmacology, wound care, respiratory emergencies and child protection. Weekly training is based on different topics to keep our skills current, and when we meet faceto-face, we often do practical scenarios. Our cadets have their own training program where they work through different skills and can earn badges. How many hours/days per year is your commitment to St John? The organisation asks for 60 hours a year to be deemed efficient but that is so easy to get. Already this year, in two months, I have over 100 hours of service by attending a couple of festivals. Some people can only give the minimum whilst others give hundreds of hours per year. It’s up to you! St John volunteers are seen at so many events, but do you think a lot of people in the mainstream don’t actually understand what roles you

do? I think most of the public see us as being there to help with first aid. In reality we do so much more. Often the post will become an information centre, pointing people in the right direction to toilets, food, public transport, the police, venue locations, providing information about first aid courses, kits, supplies, training, liaising with event organisers, public relations, reassuring youngsters and promoting the organisation. Trying to keep our community safe and encouraging everyone to learn first aid skills so they feel confident helping others in emergencies. In addition to providing first aid services at different events, we also have training opportunities for the public, community care programs, special programs for mothers of young children, a great cadet program, leadership training and first aid awareness. Added to that, we are involved in State Emergency Response, for example, we provided first aid services and basic health care at evacuation centres during the recent bushfires. Is it difficult to attract volunteers? It can be difficult. I think most organisations these days struggle to attract volunteers. We all get so busy in our own lives that we often forget there are so many other ways to create a great community. To develop that community spirit of looking out for each other and sharing a passion. Yet it is so rewarding to be able to give back to the community, to keep people safe, even the knowledge that you have helped someone, and possibly saved a life. I would encourage everyone to join, to learn first aid, because you never know when or where you will need those skills. The more skills you have, the better you are able to help others, and with all training provided after your basic first aid certificate, it only costs some of your time and commitment. And, it opens up a whole new world. I have attended some amazing events and met some wonderful people. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the duties you carry out? We have not been able to do any event duties since February, and I am missing it so much. But until we can have safe public gatherings again, we all have to remain socially distant. Still, we are continuing our training. Orana Combined Division was one of the first in NSW to present online Zoom training and now it has become widespread in St John. Be assured that when we can, we will be back out there in our uniforms helping others to keep safe and well. How rewarding is it to you personally, to perform these volunteer duties? Honestly, joining St John was one of the best things I have done. The respect you get when you are in uniform, the amazing experiences, friendships formed far and wide, skills I have learned, it means so much. Even simple things like a lady stopping you in the supermarket to tell you how excited she was to

overcome her fear when confronted with a serious accident, all because you encouraged her to have a go. Or, 12 months after an event, a person comes to thank you for helping him, or, being credited with saving someone’s life, simply by being there and monitoring the patient until the ambulance arrived. Those special moments at events, such as watching the closing night fireworks over Sydney Harbour bridge with international media on the Opera House forecourt balcony. And some other moments? Even the simple smile from the youngsters and being able to reassure them that health care professionals and emergency service personnel are great. What would you say to people looking to help out – why should they do that? You never know when or where you may need to help someone. The more skills you have, the better you are able to cope in an emergency. Why not come and join us, and learn some of those skills? I have never forgotten the reason why I learned first aid, and I have never regretted it. I have lost track of the number of people I have helped over the years. I too have needed help at times, and it is reassuring to know that someone cares, and someone has the skills to be able to help you. So, why not join, and learn these skills? It makes our community safer, and you never know where your volunteering will lead! A new career path? New friends? New skills? Some fascinating opportunities to see some great events – and all because you have made the commitment to help others. Do it! What sort of people are you looking for to volunteer – age, skill base, etc? Children from eight to 18 can join our cadet program, where they learn different first aid skills, but also develop communication and customer service skills that will help them grow and develop. For adults, the minimum pre-requisite is their Provide First Aid certificate. They also have to undergo criminal record and working with children checks and an application process. We are looking for people who have reasonable communication skills, are reasonably fit and healthy and able and have time to give to the community and organisation. People who care about others. It’s so rewarding. Anything you’d like to add? St John becomes like an extended family. I never thought I would be so committed to it, and when first asked to join, my response was “I don’t have much time”. I have made time because I enjoy it so much, and it has become a lifelong passion. I look back at what I have achieved, at the friendships I have made, and I amaze myself. I look forward to many more years with this great organisation and being able to help others in the community. I am so proud to be a member of St John.

Open for

FUN! By KEN SMITH BLUE skies and warm autumn weather welcomed the many who ventured out to enjoy our reopened local parks and gardens. Everywhere you went, you could feel it – a wonderful energy took over the city. The Adventure Playground and the Dubbo Botanical Gardens both proved extremely popular.

Having a picnic, a pleasant walk, going for a run or a bike ride for fun or fitness were amongst the popular activities around Dubbo. Fun was being had. There were plenty of smiles and laughter as locals took advantage of the wide open spaces our ovals offer that will hopefully soon welcome back our much missed winter sports.

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.

VALE

Beef, lamb, beers and bowling By GEOFF MANN BRUCE Lincoln was a team man. The man known as “Linco” earned his living buying livestock on weekdays and cleaning up opposition batsmen at a premium price on the weekends. Bruce Lincoln was farewelled by his family in Moree last week after a long health battle. The bloke who was well known around saleyards, on farms and with butchers across the western area was renowned as a nagging medium-pacer who led the attack for Newtown from 1967 – 1979. ‘Caught Stroud bowled Lincoln” was a feature of the ‘Town scorebooks around the same time as national papers coined the phrase about Marsh and Lillee. Bruce played with Western

Star, a place he called his second home for many years as he talked beef and sheep with growers and on Saturday and Sunday nights when there were plenty of post-match “wraps” of Whitney and Dawson Cup matches. Bruce, Bobby Stroud, Geoff and Alan Warwick, Harvey Rowe, “Smokey” Dawson, Wally Jones, Tony Wheatland, Lee Olsen, Ray Kearns, Johnny Tomlins were the backbones of the black and golds after they entered the Whitney Cup in the 1966/67 season. The bulk of them played together in six grand finals for Newtown. They became known as “The Bridesmaids”, a term that reflected more on the teams who consistently finished below them on the Whitney Cup ladder. In a competition of variously six or eight teams, to finish

second was testimony to the talented group of blokes who turned up and overcame obstacles week in week out. Linco played 90 games with the club, all in first grade. He took 230 wickets including 11 five-wicket hauls at an imposing average of 19.64. According to Newtown records, Bruce is the fourth most prolific wicket taker and is equal holder of the most “five-fers” in a career that had many highlights. Bruce was a regular in Dubbo representative teams playing alongside greats like Ian Drake, John Armati, Bob Peirce, Lloyd Keir, Dave Martin, Neville Mullarvey, Greg O’Sullivan, Charlie Hunt and David Tink. Bruce’s wife Lorna and children Vanessa and Darrin have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of support since his passing last week.

Harnessing the unpaid work of community volunteers By JOHN RYAN

GRAHAM PHIPPS describes himself as a member of the retired gentry, ex-train driver and hospital maintenance and he has a keen interest in cricket, horse racing and the “Mighty Dragons”. He’s currently keeping himself busy as a volunteer at Dubbo Harness Racing Club, with the duties of director, race timekeeper, head judge, trials judge and timekeeper and general dogsbody. His involvement began in harness racing when he married Judi Creenaune from a harness racing family at Gilgandra – prior to that he’d never been to a harness race meeting. “My club involvement began November 1996 when Peter Gibson asked if I would like to become the club’s race timekeeper as the present one wished to retire,” Mr Phipps told Dubbo Photo News, adding that he’d

been time-keeper for Dubbo Athletes Club for many years. “I also became an assistant judge becoming the head judge when Peter Gibson retired approximately 15 years ago. “I’m also the Tuesday trials judge and timekeeper working with Len Clyne, the qualifying timekeeper and have been a club director for many years.” He says the amount of volunteer time he puts in can vary depending on race meetings. There are trials every Tuesday which take three hours of work and Race days where there’s approximately eight hours of time committed. Add to that the chores of Director’s meetings, organising race days (Gilgandra Cup charity meeting), repairs and lots of those everyday general things, and the time devoted to community quickly adds up. “I don’t think many people realise the time and effort of what is in-

volved in making any sporting club operate, but it’s very rewarding,” Mr Phipps said. “It’s very difficult to attract volunteers, everyone wants their club to be there to enjoy, but not many want to help, all sports have the same problem. “Young people need to get involved as many clubs are run by mature aged people and can’t go forever.” Mr Phipps said the COVID-19 crisis had stopped racing at country clubs but the sport continues at the regional hubs with strict protocols in place. Tuesday trials have returned to Dubbo also with strict protocols. “Racing is hopefully set to return to country clubs in September,” he said. “I find harness racing a very rewarding pastime, exciting racing with beautiful horses where anyone can become involved. “There’s something to do for all ages with many different abilities.”

Brooke’s a ‘can do’ volunteer By JOHN RYAN BROOKE Mallison has lived in Dubbo since she was four and for 35 years has immersed herself in all aspects of the local community. Brooke spent time working for the Dubbo Girls Academy whilst running her family business, Wayne Mallison Painter and Decorator, and described her two kids as beautiful, full-of-life, crazy children, Quade, 8, and Q’Dell, 10. She loves all kinds of Sport and is currently employed as co-ordinator at Dubbo Opportunity Hub (DHUB). “I have amazing bosses, David Liddiard, one of the greatest league players ever, and Andrea Harms. Their passion for helping out the Aboriginal youth is truly mind-blowing. The support they not only show myself and my team but all youth, is one in a million,” Mrs Mallison told Dubbo Photo News. Tell us about the club you’re involved in and your role. WMPD Sporting Club was formed in 2013 and since then we have been blessed to be involved with so many sports in Dubbo and surrounding communities. Our main sport is netball, with WMPD Netball Club starting up in 2015. Over the years we have entered teams in the local touch competition, men’s, mixed, women’s and

juniors, junior basketball, indoor netball, have sponsored many, many teams in the Koori Knockout’s Netball and Rugby League, and just recently entered our first ever team in the Ella 7’s. Currently involved with CYMS Football club as assistant registrar, in 2019 I was lucky enough to be awarded Group XI Senior Football Volunteer of the Year, this was much to my surprise as it was my first year involved with Group XI as Westside RLFC Secretary. I’m currently a member of Dubbo Netball Association as a general committee member and have been for the past two years. I was also lucky enough to be awarded a Dubbo Sports Council award last year for my individual dedication to netball. When did you start and what prompted you to get involved? I started many years ago. I think I had just turned 19 and took on a manager role for Dubbo Netball Under 15’s Rep Team. This was such an eye opener as I had always been involved in several netball teams but never had a clue the amount of work that happened behind the scenes. This role had it challenges as dealing with 12, 14 and 15-yearold girls definitely keeps you on your toes! But this was the start of something I will never change. The amount of work that all volunteers

carry out to keep teams, clubs and individual sports going is unreal! Talk us through a one-day or weekend deployment. Winter weekends at home are not heard of in this family! Going between junior rugby league and netball on Saturdays then senior rugby league on Sundays gets crazy at times but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I absolutely love being involved, not only in my children’s sports but local sports and sporting clubs in general. How many hours/days per year is your volunteer commitment? My volunteer commitments can run almost eight months of the year. It’s like the netball season comes to and end then we are preparing for the next. It’s crazy when you sit back and think about the amount of hours per week, then per year – it all builds up but I don’t even realise the amount of time I spend because I thoroughly enjoy doing it. I’m the type pf person who can’t sit still, who doesn’t know what to do with the extra time on my hands, I love being busy and volunteering is a great way to give back. Volunteers are seen at so many events, but do you think a lot of people in the mainstream don’t understand what roles you actually perform? Definitely not. Until you are in the mix of it all you have no idea what goes on. I remember someone once

saying to me, ‘oh you’re only a club secretary, that’s not hard, all you have to do take notes’, boy are they wrong! Is it difficult to attract volunteers? It’s extremely hard to attract volunteers, it doesn’t matter what your involved in. From Scouts, youth groups to sporting clubs, volunteers are few and far between these days. I guess how much society is changing these days has a massive impact on this. People are literally getting busier and busier with their own families and work commitments, but what people need to understand is, as the old saying goes ‘more hands make light work’. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the duties you carry out? All sports being at a standstill at present doesn’t mean the work behind the scenes stops. There are still club meetings to attend, registrations to be done, uniforms to be ordered etc. How rewarding is it to you personally, to perform these volunteer tasks? Volunteering isn’t something I do for personal gain or recognition, I do it because I want everyone to have the opportunity to be involved in something and if I can be a part of making that happen I will. I love seeing so many smiling faces out there on the sporting fields and thinking I was a part of making that smile happen.

Brooke Mallison is one of Dubbo’s most passionate and active volunteers. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED What would you say to people looking to help out – why should they do that? DO IT! Being involved in sporting clubs or any group or club is amazing, you get to meet so many different people from different walks of life who are there for the same reason as you, to help out. I have recently been attending Rotary Club of West Dubbo meetings and will be inducted into the club in coming weeks. I never thought in my life I would be a member of a Rotary Club but I am so keen and eager to get amongst it. The amount of work, help and assistance Rotary Clubs right across our nation do is amazing and I can’t wait to be a part of it.

Apollo netball volunteer shoots for the moon By JOHN RYAN AT 47, Maree Hand, spends much of her time caring for her husband and one son. Until the start of 2020 she was employed full-time as a clerk in an accounting firm. Her husband and both sons love fishing and camping – her second marriage is to Dubbo’s Apollo Netball Club. What club are you involved in and what’s your role? Apollo Netball Club Dubbo, I am current president and MPIO of our club, which caters for netball players from five, to senior grades. We are incorporated with the Dubbo Netball Association. Our club was started by Robyn Lappa in 1994. We celebrated our 25 years as a club last year 2019. I am an Association committee member, an umpire mentor, an umpire and coach. When did you start and what prompted you to get involved? I have been involved with netball in Dubbo since our family moved here in 1980, my mum and her friends started the Saints Netball Club. On a daily or weekly basis, what roles do you perform? I tend to daily running of the club with our volunteer committee, relaying upcoming events through, email and Facebook. Talk us through a one-day or weekend deployment. At the moment all our communication is through online meetings with the association and our own committee to organise the upcoming season and changes. What sort of training do you get

through the organisation? We supply committee training, also through Netball NSW full ongoing training for coaches, umpires, players is provided and through association – Dubbo-based training sessions are managed for all clubs. How many hours/days per year is your volunteer commitment? We all volunteer our time, whilst also running households and jobs, you just manage what you can and are aware of deadlines even in the sporting arena. Volunteers are seen at so many events, but do you think a lot of people in the mainstream don't really understand what roles you actually perform? Well, unfortunately there are many who are quick to judge, and complain, but do not put their hand up to help or contribute any

real support. Meetings are open to all financial members at club level and association level. The more positive and structural information supplied by members is always taken onboard and implemented where appropriate. Is it difficult to attract volunteers? Always difficult to attract volunteers, there are so many more guidelines to follow, that it does put a lot of people off, especially mums and dads that may have the time to put in to our club, but feel they don't have the qualifications to help out. None of us are trained to run clubs. You rely on feedback from previous volunteers and just do your best. Like I said previously, we train new members who can put some time aside to help out. There are many positions that just require you being there to assist coaches at

training sessions, be there as a support on the sideline for our young umpires, sitting at the club tent on a Saturday and taking enquiries. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the duties you carry out? We are only able to support a short season this year, we don't have the direct contact that is vital for club support, everything being on-line I find lacking when our sporting community needs that social support. How rewarding is it to you personally to perform these volunteer tasks? Netball is my only social outlet, and I love seeing our members increase their skills, playing and then moving onto more substantial roles in umpiring, representative roles and then coaching themselves. Once you are qualified in any of these areas you can move

anywhere in NSW and continue with your sport. What would you say to people looking to help out – why should they do that? We need volunteers to keep our club going, it gives you an insight into the running of clubs and you get a kick out of supporting each other outside of the home. What sort of people are you looking for to volunteer – age, skill base etc? Anyone can volunteer, juniors can help out by learning the skills to umpire from the age of 12. Juniors can also volunteer to assist coaches with training sessions. You do not have to play netball to be a volunteer. There are a lot of positions that do not require skills, like, sponsorship, if you have clerical or computer skills, plenty of computer usage required. Even if you love using Facebook, we love people using their social skills to engage our members. If you would like to get involved, just ask and we can find you something to do. Anything you'd like to add? If you volunteer, you can volunteer anywhere in the community. It is great just for the social aspect of being involved in your community. You don't have to have children involved in sport to involve yourself. I started as a player and now umpire and volunteer as a committee member, just do something to get out there and involve yourself. Disabled persons of our community can volunteer for our club, like I said, we take on anyone who wants to get involved. You do not need to even know a thing about netball to enjoy being part of a club.

Runs on the board By JOHN RYAN LISA Hunt is 42, and has lived in Dubbo for all of those years, so she’s pretty much embedded in the community, teaching at St Pius X Primary school for nineteen years. Married to Ben, the couple have three children, Aydan 12, Austin 11, and Macy 8. Lisa says the family loves to stay active especially playing cricket while Macy also loves her netball. Lisa coordinated the Dubbo Junior Girls Cricket program last season. When did you start and what prompted you to get involved? This was the first season. My daughter has shown a bit of an interest in cricket, probably influenced by her dad and brothers. I also run school sport cricket programs for my class with Matt Ellis and Sam Perry, so I went along to the planning meetings and landed the job. On a daily or weekly basis, what roles do you perform? Before the season began I organised teams, managers, registration and planned the logistics with the help of Matt and Dubbo Cricket president Glenn Shepherd and weekly, I organised the skills session, parent helpers and the draw. We ran a 6-week program as a trial to see if girls would be interested in being involved in a modified competition. We ended up with over 80 girls in 12 teams.

Talk us through a one-day or weekend deployment. Tom Coady, Emily Atlee, Trudy Wallace, my dad and I would meet Matt at Lady Cutler ovals at around 4:20pm to set up on Thursday night. The girls joined us at 5 pm for a quick warm up and skill session. The teams would then go to their designated field to play an 18 to 24 over game. Compared to many volunteers my commitment is very little. A few months’ preparation then the six week program. I think I am lucky to score this job. How rewarding is it to you personally, to perform these volunteer tasks? I was actually overwhelmed with how many parents came up to me or messaged me over the course of the program to thank me for my help. That makes it all worthwhile. Is it difficult to attract volunteers? I was surprised at the parent support and volunteers that helped out. It makes the running of these kinds of programs so much easier if there are keen parents and friends around to assist in coaching and managing in an informal capacity. How has the COVID-19 pandemic affected the duties you carry out? COVID-19 will impact the beginning of the upcoming season I think. Everything related to team sport is so uncertain right now but I love to see all the children and families out having fun, learning

PRAISE TO VOLUNTEERS

Dubbo Photo News sports editor Geoff Mann has written thousands of stories over the years and he, more than anyone else, understands community sporting organisations couldn’t function without the selfless work of multitudes of volunteers. Here Geoff says ‘thank you’ on behalf of the region he informs week after week.

skills, meeting new friends and getting exercise. What would you say to people looking to help out – why should they do that? If everyone puts their hand up to help out in some small way, we can all work together to help our community. We had a lot of fun helping the girls out and it was really exciting to see their skills develop over the weeks. What sort of people are you look-

ing for to volunteer – age, skill base, etc? We would love support from anyone who loves cricket and has patience to help girls learn the skills of cricket while still letting them sing, dance and do cartwheels in the field with their friends and teammates. Anything you’d like to add? We’ve just been awarded the “Women and Girls Initiative of the Year” from Cricket NSW.

PJs the go for a run in the park By JOHN RYAN What’s your role? We take turns to coordinate the weekly Dubbo parkrun event. Parkrun is a free, weekly, timed, 5km event on Saturday mornings at 8am at Sandy Beach Park. We have about 300-400 participants each Saturday. When did you start and what prompted you to get involved? Dubbo parkrun started in July 2015 and has been ‘running’ weekly ever since. Parkrun is a global organisation with over 2000 events world-wide, we wanted to bring a free event to Dubbo that provides a safe, inclusive and fun way for the community to engage in physical activity and social cohesion. On a daily or weekly basis, what roles do you perform? Our event is on Saturday mornings, but there is a bit of preparation work during the week. We have an active Facebook page, answering emails and organising volunteers. On Saturday, we set up the gear, organise and brief the volunteers, coordinate the event, process the results and upload photos to social media. Volunteers are seen at so many events, but do you think a lot of people in the mainstream don't actually understand what roles you actually perform? There is a lot that happens behind the scenes, but with a supportive and passionate committee, many

hands make light work. Is it difficult to attract volunteers? We require 11 volunteers each Saturday for our parkrun event to run safely. We are incredibly luckily, we are often booked 2 to -3 months solid, with some roles we have a six month wait. A big part of volunteering is other groups in the community. We often have community groups such as Dubbo Touch Association committee, members of the Paramount Tennis Club and the teachers at Dubbo School of Distance Education, volunteer two or three times a year. How has the COVID-19 pandemic

affected the duties you carry out? Our event has been suspended, until it is safe for us to be in large groups outdoor, without social / physical distancing. Our direct event duties have stopped, but we keep an active Facebook page to keep the community engaged and interacting with one another. What would you say to people looking to help out – why should they do that? We aim to create a positive environment at our events, you will see people walking, running, jogging, with their kids, pets, family and friends. Volunteering with us is lots of fun and a great way to

start your Saturday morning! What sort of people are you looking for to volunteer – age, skill base etc? No skills are required. We will teach you all you need to know! We do recommend that you participate in at least one parkrun event prior to volunteering so you understand how it works. Children under 11 must remain with an adult at all times. Anything you'd like to add? Dubbo is incredibly generous with volunteering, the parkrun event would not go as smoothly without the support and generosity of the community.

SPORT By JOHN RYAN OLYMPIC dreams for Dubbo’s Haylee Fuller are one giant step closer after the teenage cycling sensation learnt she was one of just 10 athletes across all sports to win a coveted NSW Olympic Council Athletes Grant. That means the experts have recognised Haylee as being a potential Olympic athlete. “I found out and it was pretty exciting, I knew I’d been put in for it but I didn’t expect too much,” Haylee told Dubbo Photo News. “It’s great to know all the hard work has paid off and I can’t thank the Dubbo Cycle Club enough for all the support and help, and my coaches, they’re a big part.” The future is uncertain but Haylee has her sights set on Olympic Games in 2024 and 2028 and her cycling club knows she has the mental willpower to succeed at the highest level, according to Dubbo Cycle Club president Matt Gilbert. “Haylee has an admirable work ethic and an astonishing level of dedication to her training that earns her big wins at national and international events,” Mr Gilbert told Dubbo Photo News. “Those who have been fortunate enough to witness her racing can attest to her smarts and willingness to go beyond her maximum to ensure victory for Dubbo.” He said Haylee was not only a great endurance track racer, but has all the qualities of a top tour rider being an excellent competitor against the clock in time trials as well as a rare talent for climbing. “Her talent has been endorsed by many including four-time world champion and 2019 female cyclist of the year Ashlee Ankudinoff at the recent National Madison titles for Elite Women in Melbourne when at only 16 years of age, Haylee performed extremely well in a field brimming with Olympic members,” Mr Gilbert said. “Much has been achieved but a lot is yet to be written for this determined young lady.” Hayley Fuller has been recognised as a rising star in the cycling world and has her sights set on competing at an Olympic Games.
