CLEAN UP AUSTRALI

A DAY

? p u p e t s u o y l il w w o H

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THAT’S the question Clean Up Australia Day organisers are asking Aussies everywhere – including Dubbo – for three key dates in March. Tuesday, March 2 is Business Clean Up Day, Friday, March 5 is Schools/

Youth Clean Up Day and Sunday, March 7 is the big one, Clean Up Australia Day. The Dubbo RiverCare Group will be out in force joining in the annual day this year. From 8am at the Church Street boat ramp on Sunday 7, they’ll be

launching a kayak clean up team while another group will be conducting a land clean up at Devil’s Hole. Schools, youth, community groups, and businesses are encouraged to all play their part on their dedicated days and aim for change that means nothing that is used ends

up in landﬁll or is blown on the wind into our rivers in particular. This year’s focus is on plastic packaging which is toxic and making its way into our food chain to the extent that we eat it! Find out more on the Clean Up Australia website.

DOG ATTACK

Narromine farmer heads to parliament for climate change

‘Aggressive’ dog attacks elderly woman

NARROMINE farmer Karin Stark is heading to parliament in a week with a group of farmers to tell politicians that they want to be a part of the solutions to climate change. “I’ve been aware of climate change for most of my life, but it’s really made its presence felt in recent years. Like so many other farmers across the country, we’re having to contend with floods, drought and increasingly hot summers on an increasingly regular rotation,” Ms Stark said. “Farmers are one of the few groups that can cut through the politics on climate change. But we have to be there, face-to-face, with our elected representatives to have our voices heard.

By LYDIA PEDRANA A POOL of blood was left on a friendly neighbourhood pathway after an elderly woman was attacked by a large dog while walking down Erica Close in East Dubbo on Tuesday morning. Two brothers, who scooter to primary school in the same lane each morning, by chance were running late and came upon the attack. They quickly returned home to raise the alarm with their mother who immediately drove to the scene to find the dog owners had re-yarded the dog and had been assisting the woman. Multiple sources have told Dubbo Photo News that the dog, which has now been humanely euthanised, belonged to a former Dubbo Regional Council senior ranger. While waiting for the ambulance to arrive, in shock with a towel wrapped around her lower leg, the woman told bystanders: “A lady picked up my skin off the footpath.” Ambulance NSW confirmed one crew attended the incident after being called just before 8.30am. “This morning we got reports of a woman possibly in her 70s, we treated her for a large laceration to her leg,” a spokesperson told Dubbo Photo News on Tuesday. “She was transported to Dubbo Base Hospital in a stable condition.” Meanwhile, Dubbo Regional Council also confirmed they were

investigating the attack. “The dog’s owner called Council to report the incident and has informed Council staff that the dog was humanely euthanised this morning,” Stephen Wallace, DRC Director Development & Environment, said. “DRC staff confirmed this occurred. “Like all dog attacks, this incident will be thoroughly investigated by DRC’s Environmental Compliance Team, and appropriate action will be taken.” When pressed on whether the dog’s owner was a former Coun-

cil ranger, DRC refused to answer stating no further information would be disclosed while the investigation is ongoing. Meanwhile, neighbours of the dog claim they are not surprised by the attack, describing the dog in question and another dog which lives at the same address, as being “very aggressive”, “noisy” and “dangerous”. One resident who lives nearby said he and others had made several complaints about the troublesome dogs to Council in the past. “One day I was trimming the lawn and he (the dog) came tear-

ing down and nearly came over the fence at me,” a neighbour, who requested to remain anonymous, said. “One little bit of noise and the dogs would just go berserk, you couldn’t hear yourself think when they went off, you had to tippy toe around the place. “My neighbour called council several times and they could hear the dogs barking in the background, but we would just be sent a form from the chief ranger to fill out to say when they were barking, how long they were barking and this and that, and it went nowhere, so we just got sick of it.” However, DRC denied receiving any such complaints. “Council has not received any dangerous or menacing dog complaints about the dog in question, and this appears to be an isolated incident,” Mr Wallace said. Another neighbour claimed the street is home to families with young children who frequently ride their bicycles in the quiet culde-sac at weekends.

A Facebook update from Dubbo Photo News EDITORIAL AS you may have noticed, this community-focused publication has been swept up in the mega-tussle between Facebook and Australian news juggernauts, and incidentally, became collateral damage in the social media giant’s decision to block Australian users from accessing and sharing news. Dubbo Photo News made use of its Facebook page as a tool to share important announcements and local happenings with the community, at times using the platform as a direct digital line to our readers and sharing a sneak peek of next

week’s front page. Now, that humble Dubbo Photo News Facebook page and such 21st century abilities have been pulled from underneath us. All historical posts (and evidence of hard work) have vanished, and we are unable to share any content – newsworthy or not. But with or without a Facebook page, it is business as usual at Dubbo Photo News. Each week our experienced team will continue to gather and deliver insightful local, national and global news stories. Each week we will keep the community informed and interested in what’s going on in the re-

gion and beyond. Each week we will continue to delve into the lives of local heroes, highlight extraordinary achievements, profile unique characters and shine a spotlight on important issues. Each week, our newspaper will continue to hit stands every Thursday – It really shows why, with 13,000 copies printed and distributed for free, each week, that Dubbo Photo News is such an important and integral part of the local community. All we hope is that our loyal readers continue to pick up a copy and indulge in some non-screen time as we, and other news out-

lets, navigate our recovery after being Zuckerpunched. As Dubbo Photo News was going to press the ground was rapidly shifting in the Facebook v Australian media wars. Facebook’s Australian managing director William Easton said extended discussions with the Australian government had been productive and that federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg had agreed to a number of changes and guarantees that address the social media giant’s “core concerns”. “We have consistently supported a framework that would encourage innovation and collaboration between online platforms

and publishers,” Mr Easton said “After further discussions, we are satisfied that the Australian government has agreed to a number of changes and guarantees that address our core concerns about allowing commercial deals that recognize the value our platform provides to publishers relative to the value we receive from them. “As a result of these changes, we can now work to further our investment in public interest journalism and restore news on Facebook for Australians in the coming days.”

DEVELOPMENTS

TRIVIA TEST 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

A day in Dubbo By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY TUESDAY was a big day in Dubbo, but indicative of the many things constantly happening in and around the city during an economic boom. At 8.45am, Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders was at East Dubbo’s Lunar Park announcing the state government was teaming up with Creative Community Concepts, Kit Bag for Kids, MALO Republic and Black Dog Institute to deliver the Far West Active Fest for children and adults living in communities across the region this March. If allowed, children will be able to participate in a variety of free activities including a colour run, mini triathlon and mini obstacle course with all kids receiving free training gear and the chance to win giveaways throughout the day. Next up was the official opening of a new stabling complex at Dubbo Turf Club, infrastructure which those in the racing game believe will allow the club to grow its reputation as one of the fastest-growing clubs in regional NSW. Dubbo Turf Club general manager Vince Gordon said prominent local trainer Kody Nestor will utilise the new facilities, and said the investment is a boost for the club. “Having more horses trained on track allows us to continue our ongoing development as not only a spectacular racing track, but also a significant training centre,” Mr Gordon said. “We had over 2000 trained starters last year, and that helps the

whole region because if we didn’t have horses being trained out of Dubbo, places like Coonamble, Warren, Narromine and Wellington wouldn’t have the same population to draw from. “The sport has been thriving in our region and while that is great for trainers and jockeys, that also means great things for vets, farriers, trackwork riders, strappers, stockfeed suppliers and so many others in our community,” Mr Saunders said. The facility has been built at the eastern end of the existing stabling and was funded by $318,000 of COVID-19 stimulus funding. Photo opp number three was the announcement of $193,820 allocated to Dubbo Regional Council to repair roofing and damaged eaves at Old Dubbo Gaol as part of the Crown Reserve Improvement Fund (CRIF). Dubbo Regional Council mayor Ben Shields welcomed the funding. “Following the success of Stage One upgrades at Old Dubbo Gaol, I’m really excited to see some more conservation work being carried out at one of our region’s most iconic tourist attractions, the Old Dubbo Gaol,” he said. “These upgrades will form part of the overall redevelopment of the Old Dubbo Gaol precinct, where there are many exciting projects currently in the works. “There was a 161 per cent increase in visitation to the Old Dubbo Gaol in January, which really highlights how important it is for us to continue maintaining and upgrading this awesome tourist attraction.”

SCIENCE

IN BRIEF

Storm in a teacup

Changed traffic conditions on the Newell Highway at Dustys Creek

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

LOCAL man Nick Standish contacted Dubbo Photo News after reading our TV Guide column called “Odds, Ends and Inspiration”. “There was a thing about humans and the amount of heat they give out in one day, being sufficient to boil a gallon of water,” Mr Standish told Dubbo Photo News. It got the Emeritus Professor and University of Wollongong, School of Mechanical, Materials and Mechatronic Engineering PhD thinking – about something commentator Andrew Bolt had said around the same time. “I listened a few times to Andrew Bolt and he just dismisses climate change. When he asked scientists a number of times, how much will Australia contribute to global warming, the scientists who have done the calculations and models, and so on, said 0.010C and he said, “That’s nothing! “It’s true you can’t feel that change, no-one can feel it, so therefore people just think, it’s nothing. So, I said to myself, let’s see about 0.010C.” Mr Standish started with an example of a pot of tea calculating how long he’d have to wait for the water to boil based on factors such as the jug’s wattage and temperature of the tap water. “Then he came across oceanographic data and after checking with various sources to confirm

the volumes were correct, he calculated how much power would be generated by the oceans with a temperature increase by 0.010C. “I worked out that the heat contained in the oceans as a result of temperature increase of 0.010C would be enough to power Australia for 33,000 years and the world for 300 years!” Mr Standish said. He had the figures verified. “When I got this result, I did expect it to be big, perhaps a thousand years, or so, but I was surprised at just how big it was.” He then wondered if people who hadn’t spent their lives doing similar calculations, would understand it. “My answer is yes – most will. This is because in the past decade, or so, everybody has personally experienced a so called “once in a lifetime” drought, flood, bush fire, storm, and the like. “Most have also read about problems in the Great Barrier Reef and accept that it is under threat from increased CO2 content,” he said. CO2 is temperature sensitive so as oceans warm, CO2 is expelled. “The higher the temperature the less soluble CO2 is, so it is released to the atmosphere and there’s a lot of CO2 in the ocean. One thing causes another. There are a lot of shellfish and so on, which depend on calcium carbonate to make shells. Oxygen goes out because it’s less soluble and fish die, and we’ve seen that.

ROAD users travelling north of Gil are being warned Transport for NSW are sealing and line marking on the Newell Highway at Dustys Creek. Work will be carried out on weekdays from 7am to 6pm, and 8am to 6pm on weekends, and is expected to be completed by Sunday, March 7, weather permitting. Mind your speed in the area as stop/slow traffic control, lane closures, and reduced speed limits between 40 km/h and 60 km/h will be in place during work hours and between 60 km/h and 80 km/h after hours.

Emiratis Professor Nick Standish was surprised by how much heat the ocean generates with a slight rise in temperature; enough to power Australia for 33,000 years! PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

“What’s more, it’s happening so fast. We have had this before, but it always took a long time, except like when there’s a big meteor, but the normal way for climate to change is slow, but this time it’s increasing fast. “I think people don’t like to believe that they are causing it because they say we’ve had this be-

fore. That’s what Andrew Bolt says, it’s nothing new, but we are contributing, we’re making it worse, and making it come faster. “Climate change is absolutely real, there’s no question about it. People being people it’s hard to communicate. They still are denying it, yet you can see satellite photos of what’s happening.

Welcome home for new residents at Kintyre Living It’s no small claim to say Kintyre Living guarantees a fulfilling, free and independent retirement, but it’s true. For soon-to-be new resident Liz Darney, the decision to move to Kintyre Living meant packing up and leaving her hometown of Wellington and also to get extra support for her husband. “We chose Kintyre for the care that my husband will be able to have, because he has dementia and mesothelioma.” “It’s also the atmosphere and people. There are a few from Wellington too, so we’re looking forward to moving in. We’ve found people really are just so friendly and there’s just so much here to do.” The Darneys and other residents are not short of choice at Kintyre Living’s centrepiece, the Country Club. The resort-style facility is open for residents, their families and friends to enjoy whether it’s a dip in the indoor heated pool, a friendly game of tennis or a tournament on the bowling green. Refreshments can be taken at the bar; the library invites relaxation with a book, and there’s pampering aplenty at the in-house hair salon. If extra support is required for Kintyre Living residents or their partners, the 81-bed Kintyre Living Lodge is also built on the grounds and is a beautifully appointed accommodation and lifestyle facility where qualified nurses are on duty 24/7, to support memory care, respite care and permanent care. The Lodge is also no more than five minutes-walk from any of the residences.

Former Wongarbon locals, Beryl and Allan Miller moved into Kintyre Living just two months ago knowing it was time to downsize. “There comes a time when you just have to downsize and think of your health. The mowing of our half acre of land got too much for Allan, so I suggested we think about a retirement village and at first, he said no, but

eventually he changed his mind and said we better start looking. “My brother already lives at Kintyre, and we know a couple of other people here, so we came to see an open house. “It’s just a lovely setting and everybody and the staff are really friendly and nice. Our little doggy Jacko’s moved in with us too. It was a

IN BRIEF

Offline seniors get plugged in to beneﬁts

Dubbo to hear Hunters and Collectors front man stage show tunes

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY NAVIGATING online services can leave some seniors without confidence, excluding them from benefits they’re eligible for. Administration staff at Kintyre Village realised some of their residents were not aware of the State Government’s services, mostly because of the online processes involved. “It became apparent to administrators at Kintyre Living in Dubbo that residents were, a) unaware about the Regional Seniors Travel Card and, and b) so much is being driven online and some people are struggling with that online registration,” Kintyre Living customer liaison manager Danielle Chapman told Dubbo Photo News. “If people don’t know how to register and don’t feel confident in registering, they’re not taking the benefit of the subsidy. So, by having a Service NSW presentation, hopefully they can break down through some of that fear and assist people with how they can register and what that registration process is,” Mrs Chapman said. Over 50 residents attended such a presentation recently in their village clubhouse, where Service NSW staff outlined benefits available and how to access them. “I was hired specifically for this job to help reduce wait times and support the seniors. If you’re not familiar with computers, it can be quite difficult as you do have to create an account online with

Service NSW and verify it with an email address,” digital service representative Bonnie Coulter told Dubbo Photo News. “We do process some in store too, for people that do have accounts. I’d say 90 per cent of them come to the counter and it takes a about two minutes to process them. The program I use is quick and easy. “When we visit a retirement village, we’ll let people know about what’s available and how to access it. If they need more time, we can come back for a one-on-one meeting,” she said. Kintyre Living offer a computer café for residents too.

“If people don’t have a computer at home, they can come down to the clubhouse, and as well as us becoming more aware about how to do it, and how they can register, we might be able to assist.” Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said the Regional Seniors Travel Card has had 3335 applications from the Dubbo electorate alone. “The card has been an overwhelming success, last year easing the burden of 8,418 local seniors to the tune of $2.1 million!” Mr Saunders said. The Regional Seniors Travel Card (a $250 pre-paid Visa card) is used to purchase fuel, taxis, train

tickets and top up Opal cards. The Cost-of-Living program enables seniors to get discounted registration, driver licences, rebates on electricity and more. Eligible seniors have until November 30 to apply. Seniors must be an age pensioner with a valid Pensioner Concession Card or hold a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card issued by either the Department of Human Services or Department of Veterans’ Affairs. Applications for the card are made online at www.service.nsw. gov.au, by calling 13 77 88 or by visiting a Service NSW Service Centre.

ORIGINAL songs for the Australian production, “Lamb”, which will be staged in Dubbo in March, have been written by Mark Seymour of the bands Mark Seymour and the Undertow and Hunters and Collectors. “It’s a really engaging fusion of drama and music, with celebrated composer Mark Seymour having written new songs specifically for the play in a unique collaboration with the playwright,” CEO of Critical Stages Touring Chris Bendall said. Told with subtlety, song and humour, it’s an intimate portrayal of one family’s experience of rural life, Dubbo Regional Theatre manager Linda Cristof said.

TANK TROUBLE

COERCIVE CONTROL

Water access issue resolved after DPN makes a splash Lorin Maskey believes the housing department should have been able to ﬁx her water problems very simply without her being forced to contact Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders and ﬁnally, in desperation, Dubbo Photo News before the a commitment was given to replace the broken pump in the units she lives in. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

By LYDIA PEDRANA

A LOCAL resident turned to Dubbo Photo News for help after a broken pump meant she and eight other elderly residents had no access to an outdoor water source for several weeks. Despite alerting the Department of Housing’s maintenance team to the issue, it was not until 77-year-old Lorin Maskey wrote to this publication that the issue was acted upon. In a letter to the editor dated February 7, Ms Maskey explained the inconvenience the lack of outdoor water access was causing her and other residents in the block. “Since 18 January 21 we have had no water to use outside on our lawn and gardens, to keep my garden alive I have had to resort to filling buckets in my laundry tub then carting them outside to give each plant about a cupful of water,” she wrote. “Other residents are in their 80’s; I am almost 80.”

Ms Maskey also stated that this was an ongoing problem and that the pumping system “spends more time broken than it does working.” According to Ms Maskey, the maintenance team had informed her that her issue was “non urgent”. Upon receiving Ms Maskey’s letter, on February 8 Dubbo Photo News contacted the Department of Housing, asking for clarity around when Ms Maskey’s issue would be rectified and why the problem was not deemed urgent. The next day, on February 9, a representative from NSW Land and Housing Corporation was in touch with Ms Maskey and maintenance personnel attended the property to diagnose the problem. A statement from the LAHC media department was also issued to Dubbo Photo News (DPN). “We were disappointed to learn of this issue and the frustrations Ms Maskey has experienced in having it addressed,” a spokesper-

son from NSW LAHC said. “Investigations at the property today have revealed that the pump on the water tank is not working and requires replacement. This would resolve the water supply issue. “We will keep Ms Maskey informed as the matter progresses.” DPN was also supplied with background information that explained the LAHC prioritises maintenance according to health and safety concerns and given Ms Maskey’s problem did not pose a risk to tenants and because they still had access to functional taps inside their properties, it was not considered to be urgent. In late January, Ms Maskey also contacted Member for Dubbo, Dugald Saunders’ office regarding the matter and was instructed to put the complaint in writing so he could escalate the request. On February 9, Mr Saunders’ told DPN he had been working with the Department of Housing on the matter since late last year.

“Ms Maskey was invited to write to my office so that I could continue to work with the Department of Housing to resolve the issue, which is exactly what we are doing,” he said. “I would like to thank the team at the Department of Housing for working collaboratively with my office to resolve this matter.” A few days later, on February 12, the NSW LAHC confirmed that the replacement pump would be installed by the end of the month. With a plan and timeframe now in place, Ms Maskey is relieved resolution has been reached, but is “very disappointed” at how long it took for action to be taken. She also questioned whether the promised works will be a long-term solution. “I know that this will probably fix it to get us through this period, but how long will this pump last?” she asked. “This seems to happen every couple of years.”

Local solicitors give evidence at coercive control inquiry By LYDIA PEDRANA SOLICITORS from two Dubbo community organisations gave evidence at the NSW Government’s inquiry into Coercive Control in Domestic Relationships on Monday. The Inquiry, sparked by the deaths of Brisbane mother Hannah Clarke and her three children who were murdered by their husband and father, is contemplating new laws to criminalise coercive control. Hannah Sinclair from Western NSW Community Legal Centre (WNSWCLC) and Tori Mines (WWLC) from Western Women’s Legal Support were invited to give evidence based on their written submission to the Inquiry which advocated for a holistic response to coercive control, including the introduction of a coercive control offence. Coercive control describes non-physical elements of family and domestic abuse, whereby perpetrators exert power to control, coerce and isolate another person over a prolonged period of time. Such controlling behaviour can be exercised through psychological or financial abuse, social isolation, stalking, denial of basic human needs or enforcing rules which dehumanise another. Policy and law reform solicitor, Ms Robinson, said the trauma of coercive control on victims cab be much worse than physical injuries. “Our clients frequently report that they would rather be hit every day of the week than be subjected to the degradation and control which they experience at the hands of their partners,” she said. “Coercive control is also a significant risk indicator of future domestic violence homicide.” However, the WNSWCLC and WWLS cautioned the Inquiry against rushing new criminal offence laws, stating that community consultation, particularly with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and other diverse communities, is needed. “Whilst an urgent response to family and domestic abuse is needed, it must be a considered response and one that will provide meaningful change to those most in need of protection – victim-survivors,” the submission recommended. “After all, we owe it to them not to make things worse.” Following three days of hearings with evidence from 50 organisations and witnesses, a report is expected to be handed down in June.

Are you interested in running for local government but need a nudge?

KARMA IN A BUS

WOMEN for Election Australia (WFEA) is running a workshop aimed at equipping more women to run for local government. The call comes as female representation in council chambers is particularly low at only 31 percent. The training workshops have been designed not only to inform women on how to get elected – addressing the practical challenges – they also detail the roles and benefits of being a councillor. The six-hour workshop will be held on Saturday, May 1, at Dubbo Council Chambers/Civic Administration Building. For more information and to register, visit www.wfea.org.au to register.

Karma Ken says his 44-year-old Bedford bus is super reliable and the perfect mobile home to cruise this island continent. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

By JOHN RYAN AT 53-years-of-age Ken Dunthorpe is living the Karma dream. Originally from Mandurah in Western Australia, when his bus pulled up opposite the Dubbo Photo News office, we couldn’t resist snapping a photo and got the story of his travels. His 1977 Bedford half bus/motorhome is constantly on the road

with his wife and five dogs, four Shih Tzu/Maltese and one Cavalier in tow. “We’re travelling and enjoying it,” he said. “I’ve worked all my life so I could travel around Australia while I could still enjoy it, and my wife was a baker for 40 years, she’s from Newcastle and our home base is Kendall on the Mid-North Coast. “I’ve done plenty of things in

my life, mainly been a renderer, I’m retired now. I do have some tools with me, but I don’t want to have to use them,” he laughed, “I’d rather go fishing.” He said many people he’s met on the road have told him they’ve got the same dream but for most, it’s difficult to actually bite the bullet and make the break. “Do it – do not hesitate – it’s a bit scary at the start but hey, oh

mate, I couldn’t go back to living in a house, I want to do this for the rest of my life, or for as long as I can,” he said. “You don’t have the worry of a house, you can just cruise around and there’s a lot of showgrounds where you can camp, there’s a good one here. We stayed at Geurie Showground, we’ll probably stay there again tonight, there’s a horse show on there at the moment.”

GIN GIN WEIR

A broad cross section of community people gathered at Gin Gin Weir to express their opposition to the new dam proposed by Water NSW. PHOTOS: CONTRIBUTED

RESIDENTS in the Dubbo Regional Local government area and beyond are advised the latest round of the Federal Government’s Mobile Black Spot Program is closing soon . “I encourage local communities and councils to identify priority locations in their area, work with landowners on specific sites, and discuss those locations with the mobile carriers or a licensed infrastructure provider,” Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said. More than 1,200 new mobile base stations have been funded under the first five rounds of the program, and over 880 of these base stations are now on air.

Mad Dam By JOHN RYAN MORE than one hundred concerned community members rolled up to the Gin Gin weir last Sunday (February to see for themselves how high the maximum water level would be should the new proposed Gin Gin dam go ahead. Members of the Aboriginal community, floodplain graziers, downstream water users, irrigators and interested people from Dubbo, Mudgee, Orange and further afield were on hand to see a string line placed at a height of eight and a half metres to indicate where the wall of the new dam would be if it goes ahead.

Communities urged to identify mobile phone black spots

The Trangie Aboriginal Land Council’s Tony Lee said the turnout exceeded his expectations. “The day had a relaxed atmosphere, as we shared a BBQ and a chat, as families swam in the river and fished,” Mr Lees said. “It’s a special place on the river that means a lot to the community.” Healthy Rivers Dubbo spokesperson Mel Gray said the string lines, which were about two and a half stories above the fishing site to show how deep the dam’s water would be, made a startling visual effect. “The string lines really showed what the impact of the proposed super weir would be. Reading

about the height of the gates is one thing, but to see with our own eyes how much damage would be done was a real shock.” Ms Gray said. She believes the strong community turnout clearly shows the Gin Gin Weir proposal is clearly a hot issue in the community, with people wondering how the NSW Government can justify such an expensive proposal with no credible justification and says everyone wants to see the business case for this proposal. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders told Dubbo Photo News the business case has yet to be done. “That is still being developed by Water NSW so it’s not a case of it

not being released to the public,” he said. “It is simply the case that nothing has been completed so there is nothing to be released.” Dubbo Photo News also asked Mr Saunders why he wasn’t at the community event. “I received an invitation to attend the community day a week out from the event, on February 14, via email,” he said. “I had made prior arrangements to attend the NSW Men’s Open regional qualifying tournament at Dubbo Golf Club and had organised for the Deputy Premier to visit town specifically for that event.”

FALSE ALARM

Where there’s no smoke TWO fire trucks raced to Dubbo courthouse on Monday, February 22 after an automatic alarm was set off. After a lengthy look around the premises it was determined the alarm was probably set off via the building work that’s currently going on to build a new courthouse between the police station and the heritage courtroom.

RAAF BASE HISTORY

Did you work at the RAAF base? By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY IN 1942, Australia was fighting the Japanese in the Pacific and Dubbo was playing an important role as a hub for military stores at what’s commonly known now as the RAAF Base and officially as No.6 Stores Depot (6SD). By 1945, over 860 personnel were employed

there, including stores staff, aircrew, National Service and aircrew trainees and tradespeople. The location of the depot at Dubbo was its biggest appeal because it was a safe distance from the coast putting it beyond the range of carrier-borne aircraft intent on bombing raids, as well as being close to rail lines running in multiple directions. In today’s currency, it

cost about $930,000 to build which included about $90,000 to establish an airfield for 6SD, and which was built by local farmers and depot workers. Dubbo Photo News would like to know more, so if you worked at the depot, have family photos or stories you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you. Phone us on 68854433 or email editor@panscott. com.au.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

Work structure pays off By JOHN RYAN

Cailebb Duncan said he never dreamed he’d become a training officer when he ﬁrst started on the factory ﬂoor as a 17-year-old school leaver. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

CAILEBB Duncan is closing in on his 31st birthday and has been working at Fletcher International since he was 17. He was born in Moree and spent much of his early life in Orange before moving to Dubbo during his high school years. “I left school in Year 11 (Senior Campus), I needed the money and work helps you stay out of trouble,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “I’d actually come out in Year 10 working in the boning room one day a week and I’d come out and done a night shift so eventually I just left school to come out here full time.” He said because of that flexibility of being able to work at the plant while still at school he knew exactly what the job entailed, giving him the taste of work and income as well the bonus of knowing his way around the plant and also having already laboured next to the people who’d be his fulltime workmates. “It’s pretty important, it’s a flexible workplace like that and I’d met a lot of good people out here.” Mr Duncan says the good constant money, the discipline of showing up each day and the prospect of a good career along many potential pathways had given him a structure and focus for his life which had proven to be invaluable.

“It’s really good like that, it’s good for myself to keep me out of trouble, it’s somewhere to be every day and I think it worked out well for me,” he said. “I was an A Grade on the harvest floor and now I’ve taken over as the training officer from one of the boys, I never ever thought I’d be training people, when I started here. “At the time I never really thought about a career, I just got the job and was coming to work and going home but when opportunities have come up, I’ve said I wouldn’t mind that.” He’s a big fan of the way the company encourages people to reach their individual potential and then throws all sorts of training and opportunities at anyone who’s willing to have a crack. “I think it’s really good, basically they give anyone a go, if you’re willing to work there’s always the work here, the company brings a lot of money to Dubbo and helps out the economy,” he said. “The company looks after you if you put in the work and they’re pretty flexible, the family knows everyone who works here and they treat everyone well, they really do, they look after a lot of people. “I’ve made a lot of good mates, there’s been a lot of good mentors for me over the years and my advice would be to come and give it a go, there’s a job for everyone.”

Trust in Termitrust By JOHN RYAN IN the midst of the largest mice plague for decades, Dubbo is lucky to have great companies to fight against these pests and Termitrust is one business that’s seeing massive demand for its services. Accolades recently flowed in after Termitrust Pest Control was named Australian Pest Manager of the Year for 2020 in the micro-business category at the Australian Environmental Pest Managers Association (AEPMA) awards. The awards are for individual businesses which demonstrate professionalism within Australia’s urban and commercial pest management industry and co-owner Andrew Murphy says the award showed the company had plenty of know-how, a demonstrated commitment to continual updating of knowledge and skills, great customer relationships and a culture of innovation. “We pride ourselves on our core values of reputation, consistency, accountability and winning,” Mr Murphy said. “With a positive reputation

in the pest industry we strive to build a strong customer base with unrivalled retention and loyalty. All of us are responsible for the company’s reputation.” He’s owned the company since 2005, changing its name from Macquarie Valley Pest Management in 2014 and over the past year James Sutton has become a co-owner and taken on the role of pest control manager. James brings with him more than 10 years’ experience and he has extensive knowledge in the pest industry specialising in bedbugs and termite control. Mr Murphy said the company is proud of its record as the COVID-19 pandemic hit an unaware nation and said they were able to get the message out that it was imperative that home and workplace hygiene practices were maintained. “As a company which works closely with homeowners and commercial operators to deliver essential services, we wanted to assure everyone that we are taking all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of both our staff and customers. Our compa-

ny was able to trade as normal and fortunately there were no supply issues,” he said. The owners are proud of their team, with Kristi Scott managing the office and being the first point of contact for customers and being the starting point for what Mr Murphy says is consistency across the board. “A one-off good job is not enough to cement our reputation as the best in the pest management industry. We need to ensure we are doing quality work consistently. This is what custom-

ers expect. Consistency applies to everything we do; customer service, the physical job, compliant paperwork, office processes, marketing,” he said. “And accountability – we own the rewards and the problems. Be proud of good results. We will always pass on positive feedback from customers. Don’t be afraid of problems or mistakes. It’s how we learn. One measure of a great business is the way it manages mistakes.” Mr Murphy said mice are the biggest pest challenge facing Dub-

bo and outer areas at the moment, with the tiny rodents typically having five to six litters of six babies in a single year. “They can jump 30cm vertically, squeeze through a 6mm opening and are accomplished climbers,” he said. “To limit infestations, clean up food spillages daily, remove pet dishes and leftovers promptly after feeding, secure bathroom and kitchen vents, clean up yard waste that can act as shelter and block up access points with steel wool.”

South Dubbo pharmacist Tim Koerstz celebrates 30 years in business. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

A medical journey By JOHN RYAN AS a small boy Tim Koerstz said he always had it in his mind that he wanted to contribute to the health of the community, but that seemed a long way from his primary years at Trangie Central School. Trangie Central was classified as a disadvantaged school and he was picked up because of his academic ability and offered the opportunity to study at Hurlstone Agricultural High School at Glenfield in Sydney. “They offered me a bursary to go away otherwise my parents wouldn’t have been able to afford it,” Mr Koerstz told Dubbo Photo News,” and I went on to Sydney Uni to do pharmacy many, many years ago. “In those days it was a feat just to come home where you got on the old Western Mail where you got on the train at 10 o’clock on

a Friday night and you never got back to Narromine until 9 o’clock the next morning – you didn’t get home very often so you missed the rest of the family growing up, but it was a great opportunity academically and also, I loved sport, so it was a great sporting school as well. “Hurlstone was then and still is one of the selective state schools academically, so you always knew you were going to have good teachers and you knew if you put the effort in you were going to have an opportunity to do what you wanted to achieve so that definitely set me up to be able to go off and do what I wanted to do.” He said was grateful for the opportunity to attend Hurlstone and said the following years at university was a great time in his life. “If we could all stay in university for life it wouldn’t be very good for our liver, but it was a great op-

portunity, it was just a great place to be and I obviously learnt a lot in the pharmacy course which is the most important thing,” he said, recounting how trains played an important role in those years other than just getting him home during holidays. “I finished the course at uni, and I caught a train to Woy Woy and walked the streets of Woy Woy and Umina knocking on pharmacists’ doors seeing if somebody’d give me a job, I wanted to go up to that coastal area, so I ended up getting a start with a pharmacy in Umina and I stayed there for about eight years before I came back to Dubbo.” He’d already arranged to purchase the Tamworth Street pharmacy from then-owner Peter Lawler before he moved back out this way, taking over the business in March 1991.

He said back then he wasn’t thinking this far ahead and said it’s difficult to believe just how quickly time has flown, marking 30 years at the helm of the Tamworth Street icon. “I love the people that we see every day and most of the people we get to know on a first-name basis and really feel like part of the family, so I actually miss it when I’m not in and around that environment because you really do feel that you’re part of their everyday lives, it’s really good,” Mr Ko-

erstz said. “The one big thing, not only do we have a lovely community, but I’ve been very fortunate with the staff I’ve had over the years. I’ve had some marvellous staff and they’ve really created and helped make the business fun and something you want to be involved with.” Tim Koerstz Pharmacy plans to celebrate the 30th anniversary under his ownership with balloons, giveaways and sale specials next Monday, March 1.

IF you’re driving to Orange it might be worthwhile to divert off the Mitchell Highway on your return to check out the new bronze sculpture of Australia’s most famous poet, Andrew Barton ‘Banjo’ Paterson. Paterson was born in Orange and spent his early years in Yeoval and the local museum dedicated to the town’s most famous son is well worth a visit. A crowd of 500 people from all over NSW and Queensland gathered in front of the “Banjo Paterson... more than a Poet Museum”, on February 17 to witness the Unveiling of the three-metre-high sculpture and the locals did the town proud. St Columba’s school students led the singing of the National Anthem and the captains from Yeoval Central School told the story of Paterson’s memories of Yeoval. Alf Cantrell, a major player behind the museum and the fundraising for the sculpture told Dubbo Photo News that the crowd spilled across the roadway and into the park opposite where an extra speaker had been set up. “The Deputy Consul for

Britain, Jonathan Cook, donated and raised a Scottish Flag and this was raised alongside the Australian Flag by the Captain of the St Columba’s School, Maddie Keady,” Mr Cantrell said. Dubbo Salvation Army captain David Sutcliffe spoke of the horrors of war and offered up a prayer in memory of all those fallen in WW1 while historian Cliff Crane gave a brief history of Paterson’s war service in Egypt followed by. “Ian McNamara of ABC’s Australia All Over delighted the crowd with a short address and then pulled off the tarp to reveal a magnificent likeness to the Major A.B.Paterson of the Australian Remount Division drawn by war artist George Lambert in 1916,” Mr Cantrell said. A free morning tea was served to all those attending and many hundreds of biscuits and small cakes, hot out of the museum’s oven, were eagerly consumed. Mr Cantrell said a sad note hung over the proceedings: “Unbeknown to the crowd the very talented sculptor Paul Smits aged 34 passed away the previous evening from a heart condition,” he said.

A Light Horse re-enactment troop was on hand to pay tribute to Major AB Paterson, the poet served with distinction in WWI. PHOTOS: CONTRIBUTED

More than 500 people attended the sculpture unveiling with Australia All Over host Ian McNamara doing the honours.

YOUR STARS ARIES: This will be a week when emotions run high. Be careful not to put yourself in situations where you have to make all the decisions, as you’re likely to be criticised. TAURUS: You’ll need to jockey your way into a better position; don’t hesitate to show your true character. You’ll have the opportunity to travel and discover new cultures. GEMINI: You’ll stand out considerably among your friends and colleagues. These people are likely to offer a helping hand as you go through a number of transformations. CANCER: If you open your home to loved ones, don’t expect them to help you out with household tasks. They might even want to be waited on. Fortunately, good times are on the horizon.

LEO: You’ll have to deal with people who are all talk and no action. Go with your initial idea; it’s the right one, and you’ll avoid being led astray by people who don’t know what they’re talking about. VIRGO: You certainly appreciate the ﬁnancial stability and independence that your job provides. With the salary earned, you’ll be able to travel and explore. LIBRA: You’ll be overﬂowing with great ideas and initiatives. In addition, you’re constantly changing your plans to suit your mood, which may irritate certain people around you. SCORPIO: Confusion is possible in a chaotic universe. Fortunately, all you need is a second cup of coffee to help you regain your energy and complete a number of small miracles every day.

SAGITTARIUS: After an intensely stressful period, you’ll certainly need to take a step back and get some rest. You’ll need to recharge your batteries in order to feel like you’re getting a fresh start. CAPRICORN: You’ll likely work a lot of overtime. Fortunately, you’ll eventually manage to let loose and enjoy yourself with loved ones, who’ll invite you to participate in fun activities. AQUARIUS: Whether it’s imagining a holiday or a quick romantic getaway, you’ll have your head in the clouds. You might have thoughts of moving abroad or going on some type of expedition. PISCES: Changes are inevitable. Tightening your circle of friends will help relieve some of your stress, making it easier to pursue aspirations that are more in line with your needs. The luckiest signs this week: Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

Interim CEO appointed by selection panel at Dubbo Regional Council

Students beneﬁtting from out-ofschool-hours care places

A SELECTION panel, comprised of the Mayor and Deputy Mayor, convened late last week to interview current Dubbo Regional Council directors for the temporary appointment of Chief Executive Officer. As a result of the process, Mr Dean Frost has been successful and will assume the role of Council’s CEO from April 1 when Mr Michael McMahon officially retires. Mr Frost is the current Director Organisational Performance. The fulltime position of CEO will be subject to a competitive senior executive selection process post the 2021 NSW Local Government elections. With the Director Organisational Performance role temporarily vacant during this period, an internal process will soon get underway to temporarily fill the position.

THE NSW Government has created more than 11,000 Out of School Hours Care places since July 2019 as part of its Before and After School Care election commitment. Member for the Dubbo electorate Dugald Saunders said the $120 million commitment supports services through fee waivers, infrastructure funding and the new hub delivery. As part of this commitment, Wellington and Gulgong will receive new Out of School Hours Care Hubs, relieving the waitlist burden for local families. “The Out of School Care Hubs are modular buildings, custom-designed for Out of School Hours Care services. They will help cut the waitlists for services, allowing more families to access before and after school care services,” Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

TIME WARP

Time Warp is back! By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY WELCOME back to Time Warp! This much-loved column will be featured every week in Dubbo Photo News so please drop into our office where we can scan old photos you think might be of interest to the community. Time Warp has always been an excellent way too, to put names to faces in your old vintage and classic photos that show snapshots of Dubbo life.

We’re relaunching Time Warp with a fantastic photo probably shot in the 1940s in a store on Talbragar Street, called Money-Savers. It’s been contributed by Mary Read, the granddaughter of former Dubbo businessman Vivian Charles Lark. Mr Lark was the principal of Money-Saver’s drapery and grocery store, supplying “frocks, millinery, dress materials, handbags, hosiery for women and suits, sportswear, mercery, etc, for men”, an old advertorial says.

It also said: “Here is to be found an array of goods that will enable the most fastidious buyer to obtain high quality goods at very keen prices. Here is it possible to obtain those important little nic-nacs that every women needs to harmonise with her ensemble. “And while she is there, she can inspect the wide range of dress materials in all the smartest shades and designs. “Mr Lark is ably assisted in the management of the business by Mrs Lark. “Mr Lark is well known

in public affairs in Dubbo. A member of the 1st A.I.F., he has done much to help along the progress of Dubbo in his capacity of committeeman of the Dubbo District Ambulance. Mr Lark is also a keen bowler. “The grocery section of Money-Saver’s is stocked with every conceivable commodity for the culinary department of the home, and a reliable delivery service is maintained. Do you know which building on Talbragar Street used to be Money-Savers?

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Almost deadly dog A WOMAN out for her morning walk on Tuesday this week was attacked and mauled by a dog in East Dubbo’s Erica Close. Assisted by neighbouring schoolboys, the woman is lucky her injuries were not worse or fatal, though some of her skin ripped from her leg was retrieved from the footpath. Able to sit up while waiting for the ambulance and police to arrive the woman said it was not her normal route. The dog involved in the attack has been euthanised. See the full story on page 2 of this edition of Dubbo Photo News.

Mugga Hill syringes

PEOPLE who enjoy Mugga Hill aren’t too happy with the blokes they allegedly saw dump a heap of syringes in the area. What is it with these freaks who don’t seem to give one crap about anyone but themselves?

Butchered sheep DUBBO police are investigating two sheep carcasses that were discovered on the Golden Highway at the Old Mendooran Road intersection on February 19. Officers believe the sheep had been butchered at another location and the remains dumped on the side of the road, sometime on February 18 or 19. Meantime, rural crime investigators from Dubbo are looking for leads after the remains of sheep were located on the Comobella Road at Geurie, opposite the town’s tip, on February 16. The sheep were subsequently identified as belonging to landholders from Comobella and Geurie who indicated that they had been stolen recently after shearing. The animals appeared to have been shot and then butchered at the location.

The Dubbo Photo News column dedicated to the hard work of our emergency services personnel.

If you have any information about these incidents, or if you saw a vehicle or persons in this area around February 19 this year, please contact Dubbo Police Station on 02 6883 1599 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or by email. It’s really a low act when people steal sheep for a feed, and in my experience these sort of people don’t need the money, they’ve got all the latest and greatest fourwheel drives and all the gear, they do it for the thrill. Pathetic.

Ammo trundled out PEAK Hill police are investigating the theft of ammunition from a property on the Ootha Road at West Trundle sometime between January 5 and February 18. Officers believe the offender/s forced entry to a building near the farmhouse and stole the ammunition from a firearm safe. The ammunition stolen is described as: z 3 Boxes of .222 centrefire ammunition (20 rounds per box) z 3 Boxes of 12-gauge shotgun shells (25 rounds per box) If anyone can assist police in relation to this theft, please contact Peak Hill Police Station on 02 6869 1444 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or email crimestoppers.com.au.

Good arrest STILL on Peak Hill, police have charged a 36-year-old man with break and enter offences alleged to have occurred towards the end of December last year when entry was allegedly forced at a farm on the outskirts of the town. It’s alleged the man stole a quad bike and power tools. Following inquiries, police arrested the 36-year-old at Coonamble Police Station where he was charged with two counts of larceny, break and enter and trespass. He was given strict bail conditions to appear before Coonamble Local Court on Tuesday, March 16.

Lots of grass in Mudgee EARLIER this month police commenced an investigation into the cultivation of cannabis in the Round Swamp, Capertee area, approximately 70km south-east of Mudgee. Following inquiries police arrested a 52-year-old man during a vehicle stop on Excelsior Road at Round Swamp, about 10.40am on February 19.

He was subsequently taken to the McDonalds Hole Road property at Round Swamp for the execution of the search warrant where police seized 432 mature cannabis plants, approximately 9kg of cannabis leaf, as well as cannabis seeds and head from the property. The man was taken to Mudgee Police Station and charged with cultivate commercial quantity of cannabis, three counts of possess prohibited drug, and supply prohibited drug. He was refused bail to appear before Orange Local Court.

Rego no label madness I GOT notification this week that a trailer I own is up for registration. Can I just say that I really miss the old rego labels, the ones that you looked at as you walked past to make sure you weren’t going to miss out on getting things regoed. Yet another cost-cutting exercise, and revenue raising from busting people driving unregistered vehicles because they didn’t get their notice in the mail. At the moment it hasn’t failed as badly as the digital licences seeing all that information distributed to who knows where.

Wello fire training THIS Saturday, February 27, firefighters from across the region will gather at the Fire and Rescue NSW training centre in Wellington for a number of skills and training exercise drills. These drills are crucial in helping firies maintain the skills required to best protect their local communities, and the sessions will see a number of search and rescue drills, firefighting and first aid drills. FRNSW is inviting media to attend the event to get a first-hand look at a day in the life for our firefighters. They also have a number of positions currently available for

on-call firefighters in the region. Good luck to all concerned and have a great day.

Man assaulted, in critical condition – Walgett ABOUT 12.30am on February 18 emergency services were called to Hope Street in Walgett after a man was found outside a home suffering serious head and facial injuries. The 41-year-old was treated at the scene by paramedics before being transported to the local hospital where he was placed in an induced coma before being flown to Newcastle’s John Hunter Hospital. He’s reported to be in a critical condition and police have been told the man had been hit repeatedly in the head during a fight with another man. Following inquiries police arrested a 40-year-old man at Walgett Hospital about 2.10pm. The man, known to the injured man, was taken to Walgett Police Station and charged with reckless grievous bodily harm.

Man stabbed, kicked, punched in Walgett UNFORTUNATELY that wasn’t it for Walgett. A day later emergency services were called to Duff Street shortly after 7.30pm where a 24-year-old man was found with multiple injuries. He was treated at the scene by paramedics for stab wounds to the head and shoulder, before being transported to the Walgett Multipurpose Centre and later airlifted by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) to Dubbo Hospital for further treatment. He’s since been transferred by plane to Camperdown’s Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, and police say he’s reported to be in a critical condition in a medically induced coma.

Walgett warrants HIS attackers were the subjects of a manhunt in the town and good news came on Tuesday this week, when two men were charged with the attempted murder. Strike Force Polworth had been established to investigate and by 1am on February 23, a man was arrested at a house in Myall Street, Walgett. The 21-year-old was taken to Walgett Police Station and charged with cause wounding/ grievous bodily harm to person with intent to murder, and wound person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He appeared in Walgett Local Court the same day and was refused bail to reappear before Walgett Local Court on April 13. At about 9.30am, another man was arrested at Walgett Police Station. The 22-year-old was charged with cause wounding/grievous bodily harm to person with intent to murder, and wound person with intent to cause grievous bodily harm. He also appeared in Walgett Local Court today and was refused bail to appear at the same court on April 13.

Throwing Spears FORMER Dubbo forensic guru Steve ‘Spear’ Pearson metaphorically stabbed me through the heart after he tore apart my Emergency Report column from last week. Spear pointed out that I reported police “docked” someone five demerit points and also said a female driver “lost four demerit points”. “Mate – I expected better from you. You don’t ‘lose’ demerit points, you ‘gain’ them,” he emailed. ‘Point’ taken, Spear, thanks mate, but if you could stop forensically examining my writing that would be a load off my shoulders! z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

` QUOTE ME a

Doctor’s 20 years in the air

“It is the tragedy of the world that no one knows what he doesn’t know and the less a man knows, the more sure he is that he knows everything.” – Joyce Cary, British author (1888-1957)

By JOHN RYAN 20 YEARS ago, patients not considered to be living in the outback weren’t under the mantle of care provided by the legendary Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) until a grassroots’ campaign led by Judy Jakins and Jack and Ellie Stanmore began to spark interest in the concept of establishing a flying doctor base at Dubbo to service those areas. “I’d rather have a broken neck at Tibooburra than Tullamore,” Judy Jakins was quoted during the campaign, referring to the fact that if you suffered severe injuries in the outback you’d be picked up and flown to hospital via a comfortable aeroplane, whereas at centres closer-in you’d have to endure hours of rough travel in the back of a road-going ambulance. The road the RFDS Base is sited on is now Judy Jakins Drive, and now that base is celebrating its 20th anniversary of operations on February 24. Royal Flying Doctor Service (South Eastern Section) CEO Greg Sam said he’s proud when he looks at the two decades of health services delivered to communities within the area of operations from the Dubbo Base, such as inter-hospital patient transfers, emergency retrievals, blood storage, and dental services. The Dubbo crew didn’t even slacken off during the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, instead working harder than ever to keep

“Curses are like processions. They return to the place from which they came.” – Giovanni Ruffini, Italian writer (1807-1881) 81)

their planes and equipment super sanitised and in the air. “Over the last year the RFDS Dubbo Base recorded 1670 patient transfers, 4032 landings, and 1,279,575 kilometres flown,” Mr Sam said. He said the service couldn’t thank local supporters enough, a sentiment echoed by RFDS South Eastern Section president Alex

Scamps. “We want to thank the Dubbo Support Group for their dedication and determination to enliven the Dubbo Base with a clear vision for Dubbo,” Mr Scamps said. “Our dedicated teams deserve special mention, no matter the role they play, our employees do the work of bringing quality healthcare to our network.

“Today the RFDS Dubbo base employs 13 flight nurses, 22 doctors, 18 pilots, 3 dentists, and 57 other base staff,” he said. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders and Mayor of the Dubbo Region Ben Shields joined Royal Flying Doctor Service (South Eastern Section) board members, base staff, past patients, supporters, and suppliers to celebrate the special day.

Pop icon Ariana Grande is no stranger to success, and she has the Guinness World Records titles to prove it. After spending over a decade in the spotlight, the singer has officially broken 20 monumental record titles that have put her in the ranks with music legends Mariah Carey, Rihanna, and The Beatles. Her latest world record comes thanks to Grande’s raw vocals and talent in her recent album, Positions, which have earned the record for most songs to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The list of accolades also spans from her chart-topping music to her global fan base of “Arianators” – who have not only helped her to shatter social media records, but also maintain her ultimate status as the “Princess of Pop”.

FAKE NEWS

Big Tech’s own misinformation media code slammed by experts By LYDIA PEDRANA A NEW code of practice aimed to protect the spread of misinformation and disinformation online has been met with mixed reactions from industry regulators and organisations. DIGI, the peak body for digital giants, including Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter and TikTok, unveiled the Australian Code of Practice on Disinformation and Misinformation on Monday, just days after Facebook blocked Australian users from viewing and sharing credible news content on the platform. The voluntary code, which was called for by the Australian Government in December 2019, will see signatories choose how to address mis- and disinformation on their service, for example, by labelling false content, lowering the ranking of content, suspending or disabling accounts and removing content. Those who sign up also commit to stamp out mis- and disinformation in paid content, address fake bots and release an annual report about their efforts to protect Australians from the harm of fake news. While the country’s media regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) welcomed the code, Reset

` It does nothing but reinforce the arrogance of giants like Facebook... a

This clever cartoon by Dubbo Photo News regular Paul Dorin says it all.

Australia, which works to counter digital threats to democracy, has slammed it. ACMA Chair Nerida O’Loughlin described the new code as be-

ing a “flexible” approach to dealing with mis- and disinformation online. “The Code anticipates platforms’ actions will be graduated

and proportionate to the risk of harm,” Ms O’Loughlin said. “This will assist them to strike an appropriate balance between dealing with troublesome content

and the right to freedom of speech and expression.” Meanwhile, Reset Australia’s executive director Chris Cooper slammed the self-regulating nature of the Code as being “laughable”, “untrustworthy” and “wholly inadequate”. “This limp, toothless, opt-in code of practice is both pointless and shameless,” he said. “It does nothing but reinforce the arrogance of giants like Facebook.” “This code attempts to suggest it can help ‘empower consumers to make better informed choices’, when the real problem is the algorithms used by Facebook and others actively promote disinformation, because that’s what keeps users engaged.” Instead, Mr Cooper called for an independent public regulator who has the ability to issue fines, notices and other civil penalties to inspect and audit algorithms and urged the Australia government to reject “this level of insouciant contempt for the Australian public”.

BOTCHED BLACKOUT

Local domestic violence unit caught in Facebook ban crossﬁre By LYDIA PEDRANA THE Facebook page of a Dubbo-based domestic violence unit which assists vulnerable women and children across the Central West has been reinstated after becoming caught in the escalating stoush between the social media giant and Federal Government. Alongside charities, community organisations, the

weather bureau, health departments and police agencies, the Western NSW Community Legal Centre had its Facebook page wiped for almost 24 hours last week. The organisation provides free legal advice and support to people experiencing disadvantage and uses its Facebook page to communicate with vulnerable community members and service providers. Senior solicitor Rachael

Robertson described the blackout period, albeit short, as “distressing” and outlined the impacts it had on the organisation. “While it wasn’t for a long period of time, we had lawyers out in remote towns in the Central West on Thursday and Friday,” she said. “We were unable to communicate with the service providers that follow us or more broadly with communi-

ty members that our lawyers were in their towns providing free legal advice. “Getting timely legal advice and practical support can have life-changing consequences for many of the clients we help.” Following the outpour of public fury over the accidental wiping of non-news accounts, a senior Facebook executive apologised for the “mistakes.”

Dubbo Photo News February 25-March 3, 2021 FACEBOOK FIGHT

Impacts and repercussions of the Aussie news blackout By LYDIA PEDRANA IN the hours following Facebook’s news blackout last Thursday, traffic to publisher websites dropped dramatically. On the Wednesday before the ban was enforced, Chartbeat data reveals that Facebook was responsible for redirecting 201,000 eyeballs to the websites of Australian publishers. A day later, when some news outlets who slipped through the cracks and remained live, only 14,000 Australian news site pageviews were via Facebook. This data appears to show that many Australians rely on Facebook as a news source, but as digital expert Joshua Benton from Neiman Lab questioned, will these consumers find other ways to get their hit, or will they give news a miss entirely? According to research by Oxford University, 48 per cent of Generation Z (those currently aged between six and 24 years) used social media as their main source of general news. This is followed by 33 per cent of Generation Y, 18 per cent of Generation X, 9 per cent of Baby Boomers and four per cent of those over the age of 74 who get their news through platforms like Facebook. The story is different at a local level. Local newspapers and their websites were cited as the top

source of local news for Australians, at 41 per cent, according to the University of Canberra’s “Digital News Report: Australia 2020”. However, with a substantial reliance, particularly from the younger generations, on social media services as a source of general news, is it any surprise Facebook turned off the traffic tap? Not really, according to former Dubbo journalist, Neil Varcoe, who works for Google as a News Lab Publishing Fellow. “The news industry understood the value of Facebook to their business, and still pushed for payment for their content appearing on their platform,” Mr Varcoe said. “This included the links they posted themselves.

Consumer Commission, Facebook accounts for 28 per cent of all advertising spend in Australia while the Australia Institute’s Centre for Responsible Technology has estimated the social media juggernaut will continue to earn $2.5 million a day, despite the Australian news ban. However, in an effort to bite back the tech giant’s power move, this week the government announced they would pull all paid advertising on service while the news blackout is enforced. Having spent $42 million on digital advertising in 2019-20, Health Minister Greg Hunt told one news program that the government’s budgeted funds for Facebook ads may be reallocated.

COUNCIL WATCH

Talbragar traders’ concerns ignored that would like to have some sort of input into this was ignored. “I myself personally am just so disappointed in the council, and after looking at the video of that meeting, not one of you actually stood up and spoke against it. I heard it was a desert.” The Talbragar Street traders’ most pressing concern over the beautification is the loss of 17 parking spaces. “I want to say we’re not against trees... So, we’re not going to bag out the whole concept. What we’re really looking for is consultation to be able to draw up the best outcomes for what we as traders in Talbragar Street consider to be one of the best and premier streets in Dubbo itself. “It generates a lot of rate money for the council and its one of the most expensive real estates in Dubbo per square metre, so we are concerned.” Mr Sutton inferred the number of empty shops on Macquarie Street today is a result of that street’s beautification in the 1990s. “At the moment, Macquarie

LOCAL retailer, Harry’s Menswear owner Peter Sutton, has accused council of ignoring a submission by Talbragar Street traders about the proposed Talbragar Street beautification which council passed on January 25. During Monday night’s council meeting, Mr Sutton held up a copy of the submission from the Talbragar Street traders dated January 15. “What I found out after the 25th of January when you had an extraordinary meeting to pass this concept plan into reality – I was wondering why such a hurry. The fact is I was told by your mayor that this would take probably 12 to 18 months to instigate,” Mr Sutton said. “It wasn’t after the 25th of January that I found out that our submission that I have a here... which is stamped and dated by the council on the exact date, the 15th of January, but it was absent from your report. And I believe the fact that you have 25 business owners

“It will be disappointing if nothing happens from this. As I say, if it doesn’t happen, there is a council election coming up and certainly there’ll be a lot of cranky people who talk to a lot of people and votes will be lost if nothing is done.” Also on the agenda of Monday night’s meeting were two mayoral minutes about the appointment of Dean Frost to interim CEO and St. John’s Rugby League Football Club’s proposal to develop Regand Park for playing fields. The draft Wellington Town Centre Plan was adopted, to be reviewed every four years. The Wellington Museum Committee will be granted a license agreement for $1 a year to operate from the Old Police Station for a 12-month period. Councillors agreed to continue showing their opposition to the River Street Bridge, and continue advocating for a pedestrian link, two-part connection to the northwest sector and the lowering of the roadway.

ENVIRONMENT

Damselﬂy not in distress – yet By JOHN RYAN TALK about co-benefits and making the best use of your time and resources – the group of four Dubboites who visited Yeoval for the Banjo Paterson event the other week are all members of Dubbo Field Naturalist and Conservation Society and automatically keep an eye out for interesting plants or animals wherever they go. While exploring the sculptures in the Bush Park, a flash of electric blue at ground level gave them this fleeting sight of what is probably a male Common Bluetail Damselfly Ischnura heterosticta. Mentioning the scientific name is necessary, as at least two different species have been given the same common name! Damselflies are cousins of dragonflies and can largely be distinguished by not only generally being smaller and more

delicate than dragonflies, but also holding their wings over their backs when at rest, instead of out to the sides, as do dragonflies. Found throughout Australia, including Tasmania, the adult of this species flies from October to March, so there’s still just time for the sharp-eyed to spot these less-well-known but just as beautiful dragonfly cousins – which have both actually been around since before the dinosaurs! They both are now used as indicator species which can show the health of the freshwater near which they’re living, and with our environment being decimated by so many human-driven factors these days, these ‘canaries in the coal mine’ species are more vital than ever before to alert us to what’s going on. Thanks to Elsie Howe for the photo and great spotting.

Street has 19 vacant premises, over 6700 square metres of empty space. It’s one of the hardest streets to negotiate. You know how many empty spaces are in Talbragar Street? One. Of 100 square metres. Our street’s very unique. It’s a dynamic street, it’s full of boutique type traders. It’s a special destination street,” Mr Sutton said. “So, changing the dynamics of that street, could ruin the livelihoods of a lot of small businesspeople who have invested a lot of money into that street and their businesses. To come and put something without really any consultation to those people who play a major part, I think, is really poor judgement by the council. “I would hope... that you relook at that recommendation that was made at the Extraordinary Meeting and make a recission motion on that recommendation and put forward a motion that we will readdress this particular problem and will consult with those people the best outcomes for those traders,” Mr Sutton said.

By NATALIE LEWIS By NATALIE LEWIS AS part of the Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone, Wellington’s rapid productivity in this area has led to Dubbo Regional Council’s development of a planning agreement policy for solar and wind farms. The policy, which closed for public submissions on February 19, is aimed at encouraging voluntary Planning Agreements between council and energy farms, with a view to guiding strategic framework, community benefit programs and adding a road maintenance levy. Council’s Director for Development and Environment Stephen Wallace said it is recommended that farms enter into a Planning Agreement with councils to ensure any developmental impacts are managed. He explained that a policy was not necessary to establish a planning agreement but that it would provide a framework for future agreements. “A planning agreement is an agreement entered into by Council and a developer where the developer agrees to fund public amenities or infrastructure, dedicate land at no cost to council, provide monetary contributions or any other material public benefit for a public purpose. “The role of the policy is to further explain and assist both development proponents and

stakeholders of the importance of strategic planning through the planning agreement process,” he said. The need for an amended policy is driven by revised council boundaries. “There is an existing policy for solar energy farms located within the former Wellington Local Government Area,” Mr Wallace explained. “The revised policy recommends that planning agreements apply to both solar energy farms and wind energy farms. It will also be updated to include all land within the Dubbo Regional Council Local Government Area, it won’t be defined by the old LGA boundaries.” During the consultation period, Wellington resident Nat Barton made a submission to council stating his concerns about the policy making. With a proposed $3350 per wind turbine paid to council per annum for applicable wind farms and $3500 per Mega Watt of Alternating Current [AC] installed capacity per annum from applicable solar energy farms, Mr Barton said the level and management of contribution needs to be fair, reasonable and affordable. “I cannot think of any reason why wind or solar farm developers would pay to enter into a voluntary Planning Agreement,” he said.

“VPAs are not part of the EPA Act, they are not part of State Significant Planning Policy and they are not part of the planning regulations.” Mr Barton believes that council needs to remain transparent to ensure payments made by developers are not misconstrued. “VPAs are used often by proponents of renewable energy projects because they give clarity and certainty to the expenses that are likely to be incurred over the life of the project. They also provide a means by which proponents can gain a social licence to operate and broaden the economic base of the project. However, the benefits to the community are uncertain if they are used in an ad hoc and poorly targeted manner. “From the documents I have seen, $3350 per tower per year looks remarkably like the amount the wind farm is paying landowners adjacent to neighbours hosting turbines who have to agree not to complain or sign petitions. They have no right to mention any concerns they have because they have given away those rights in the agreement they have entered into. I would hope that DRC has considered these factors before accepting the VPA money.” So far, Council has entered into a total of four planning agreements with developers across the LGA.

A LOCAL resident has described the Mitchell Highway near Maryvale as ‘extremely hazardous’ following the announcement that Transport for NSW plans to spend $4.87 million on upgrades in the area. Roger Everett said it has been the site of several serious accidents including a number of fatalities. “I recall four serious accidents in the last few years,” he said, describing two fatalities and two serious accidents where vehicles entering the highway at intersections were wiped out. Mr Everett said all the Maryvale intersections with the Mitchell Highway between Whiteley’s Lane and Ponto Falls Road are extremely hazardous for traffic turning off the highway. He indicated that the planned addition of ‘flexible safety barriers, road widening and intersection upgrades’ would not be enough of a solution to the issue. “I really cannot see any benefit by installing “flexible safety barriers” as an after-accident alternative,” he said. “That and dual carriageways in both directions, with markings on the pavement indicating a turning lane is required. “Visibility due to vegetation is frequently a problem and with the substantial increase in traffic now entering the highway from new residential developments in Maryvale, the accident potential is multiplied proportionally.” Mr Everett said there are many

www: wellingtonsoldiers.com.au

‘near misses’ on the highway as drivers attempt extremely dangerous passing manoeuvres in frustration, particularly with the restrictions on learner drivers impacting their ability to drive to the speed limit. He also pointed out there had been several car fires on the highway in the last few years and high speed traffic has been hazardous for the volunteers of the Maryvale Fire Brigade when they are called to these fires and every accident between Whiteley’s Lane and Ponto Falls Road. “The Ponto Falls Reserve has also become a very popular free campsite and up to 60 caravans and campers have been camped there on many occasions. “Almost any day, at least 18 to 20 slower moving caravans and camper trailers enter and leave the highway each day at Maryvale. “For a few months now, there have also been at least an additional 30 gravel truck movements onto and off the highway with sand and gravel for the solar farms.” Mr Everett believes that dual lanes in each direction between Dubbo and Wellington would enable more orderly road use and safe passing, particularly with commuters at peak times. “Dual carriageway in both directions with turning lane pavement indications at intersections and the seven residential property entrances on this stretch of highway is the solution,” he said. “A dual carriageway up the Maryvale Hill will enable the safe passing of trucks and farm vehicles.”

BUSINESS

New diner takes a step back in time By NATALIE LEWIS KACEE Ryan is a nurse by trade but her dream to open a ‘50s style diner in Wellington has been a huge hit, with locals flocking through the door since it opened on January 22. Featuring old-style burgers and shakes, Milky Daze sold out of stock in its second weekend of trade. “I love to cook and always thought I’d love to own my own business,” Miss Ryan explained. Inspired by cinema, Miss Ryan wanted to recreate a burger bar like those in films she watched growing up. “Being a kid watch-

ing Grease, Pop’s Diner in Riverdale, The Wraith which had burgers in a basket. Miss Ryan and her family also enjoy visiting milk bars when they go to other towns so that’s something she aimed to emulate. “I wanted to offer old fashioned hospitality and create a cool place in Wellington that everyone could enjoy. I created the menu with that in mind.” Sourcing the best food and preparing it with love has ensured the new café’s popularity. “It’s the quality of products that I use, everything is fresh and we are working closely with suppliers.

It’s all in the ingredients.” After selling out 600 burgers and 650 shakes last weekend, Miss Ryan was grateful to locals for supporting the new venture. “It’s been very overwhelming, and a little bit intimidating. Locals love the vibe. High school kids said it’s so cool, and other people seem to love it.”

Working bee at Apex Magic Castle By MARIE HOFFMAN FORMER members of Wellington Apex Club joined a working party at the Apex Magic Castle at Smiggin Holes. In the late 1970s, the Association of Apex Clubs held a national service scheme to raise a large amount of money to aid handicapped children. Apex was a service club for young men aged 18 to 40 years. At the time it boasted over 18,000 members nationwide. With the money that was raised a chalet was built at Smiggin Holes in the Kosciuszko National Park. The chalet could accommodate 28 people and was specially designed to be wheelchair friendly and to cater for the needs of children with a variety of disabilities. It was opened in 1980 by then Prime Minister Malcolm Fraser. In the ensuing 40 years nearly 40,000 children have enjoyed a holiday in the snow country, something they could only have dreamed about without the assistance of Apex. It goes without saying that 40 years and 40,000 kids would create considerable wear and tear and depreciation on the building. Over that time members of Apex have formed working parties to go to the chalet (popularly known as the Magic Castle) to do main-

this equates to just $25 per head for a week’s accommodation. In winter, the building is centrally heated and all hot water and cooking is gas-powered. The $500 barely covers the cost of gas. Rates, insurance, building maintenance and other sundry costs are all covered by Apex. Guests have to bring their own food as there are no shops at Smiggin. The nearest shops are at Jindabyne, 30km away. tenance during the off season. In recent pre-COVID years, more and more people are going to the mountains to escape the summer heat. The most recent project was carried out during January this year when 16 members of the Braidwood Apex club spent a week re-

newing the timber flooring. A week later, a group of older retired Apexians (mainly from NSW with a few current members from Victoria) arrived to paint worn surfaces and do minor maintenance. There are some jobs which will require skilled tradesmen. When completed, the Mag-

ic Castle will be ready to welcome the groups which have already booked for the coming winter. The Magic Castle can now accommodate 24 which includes children and carers. The charge is $500 for a week irrespective of how many are in the party. If there were only 20 in a booking

CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY

Delroy Clontarf boys are stepping up

YEAR 7 to 10 students enrolled in the Dubbo College Delroy Campus (DCDC) Clontarf Academy are excited to be participating in the Youth clean up, as part of the Clean Up Australia Day program. “The boys will be cleaning up Pioneer Oval on Friday, March 5 and around the school,” DCDC Clontarf Academy director Keith Harvey said. “The boys have physical training twice a week, on Tuesdays and Fridays, where

we do some sort of physical activity like touch footy, or we’ll go swimming. So, instead of that we’ve registered with Clean Up Australia Day to do a Youth Clean Up Day as their physical activity. “We’ve been involved every year since I’ve been at the school. The boys are very excited. They just love any interaction really,” Mr Harvey said. School clean ups in association with Clean Up Australia Day are categorised for preschools, primary schools and early education. High schools and tertiary institutions need to register as “Youth” Clean Up events, to

ensure the correct sized materials are provided. In 2020, more than 1300 high schools and youth groups got involved in Youth Clean Up Day. Clean Up Australia provides event tool kits, promotional materials, safety advice and learning materials for schools. In the NSW Clean Up Australia Day Rubbish Report 2019, the bulk of around 6,765 ute loads of rubbish collected was plastic (37 per cent) with the number one item being non-food packaging (26.6 per cent) followed by beverage containers (23.2 per cent)

OPINION & ANALYSIS

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Condeming Facebook’s attack on Australia and democracy THIS is an Open Letter in response to Facebook’s decision to take down news in Australia. On February 18, 2021, Facebook took down content from countless Australian pages. News publishers, political parties, charities, not for profits, faith groups, and community organisations have all been affected. This is the largest content takedown event in Facebook history. Access to reliable and quality information is integral to our democracy and our society. Facebook’s decision to take down this content in Australia is an extreme, and nuclear option. And gives room for misinformation and hate speech to fill the void left behind. Facebook is one of the world’s largest companies, with a near monopoly over the distribution of information on social media in Australia. And now they are borrowing from the playbook of authoritarians and dictators, holding Australians hostage to benefit their own business interests. We, as organisations committed to democracy, call on Facebook to immediately reverse its catastrophic decision. We urge Facebook’s Oversight Board members to join us or step down. We stand with Australians against Facebook’s attack on democracy.

Bridge info revealed The Editor, In relation to the various options for a new bridge crossing over the river at Dubbo, a very interesting result was exposed in the “Benefit-Cost data”. (Dubbo Photo News revealed last week that the state government’s own information showed that the River Street Bridge option didn’t stack up and that the Troy Bridge option

wasn’t even subject to a Cost-Benefit Analysis). I wonder why the Nationals are so keen to go ahead if it is not the best option? Dugald Saunders was not available to respond to the findings because “it’s believed he was in State Parliament”. That is a “cop out” and a lame excuse. Why so I say that? Parliament House is mainly made up of MP offices, the Legislative Council Chamber and the Legislative Assembly Chamber. MPs do not sit in the Chambers all the time Parliament is ‘sitting’. (You can watch the sittings on the computer and see for yourself, I did). They are only in the Chamber

if they put a motion or a topic is discussed which is of interest to them. The rest of the time MPs are in their offices attending to normal matters – returning phone calls, answering emails, etc. What is being debated/discussed in the Chamber is broadcast in all MP’s offices. The only time that all MPs who are present in Parliament House are in the Chamber is after a bell (called a division bell) rings in each MP’s office, which means that there is to be a vote and they must all attend in the Chamber. How do I know all of this? I worked for a Senator in Federal Parliament. This means that Dugald Saun-

ders could have responded to the request to make a statement about the findings, but he chose not to. If the result of the “Benefit-cost data” would have been in favour of the Nationals I suspect Dugald Saunders would have been only too happy to respond. Kate Bailey, Ponto

OPINION

Family Court merger opposed by 155 stakeholders, including 13 retired judges Dear Attorney-General, We, the undersigned, are writing to you about the Government’s proposal to merge the Family Court of Australia and the Federal Circuit Court of Australia into a single generalised court: the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia. Any reform should strengthen a system, not lead to the diminution of specialisation. If the Government’s proposed reforms proceed, we will lose a stand-alone specialist superior family court. In acknowledging the need to prioritise the safety of children and adult victims-survivors of family violence in the family law system, government commissioned inquiry after inquiry has recommended increasing specialisation in both family law and family violence, including the recent Australian Law Reform Commission inquiry into the family law system. We believe this should be a Government priority. We understand and support having a single entry point to the family courts and common rules so the family law system is easier for families to navigate. We understand this is a key reason why the Gov-

More than 155 stakeholders in Australia’s family law system have now signed an Open Letter to the Attorney-General opposing the Government’s “flawed bill” to abolish the specialist, stand-alone Family Court. These signatories represent a range of professions and community organisations who work with Australian families and include 13 retired Family Court and Federal Circuit Court judges, in addition to former Chief Justices the Hon Elizabeth Evatt AC and the Hon Alastair Nicholson AO RFD QC. This Open Letter was originally issued in November 2019 and was updated this month. ernment is seeking to reform the family courts. However, there are different ways this can be achieved. And this can be done without abandoning the benefits otherwise available to children and families from a properly resourced and specialised court system. The Family Court of Australia has said “common rules, forms and complementary case management systems... can be achieved without legislative amendment”. The Federal Circuit Court of Australia has acknowledged the importance of a single point of entry and common case management system “whether or not the enabling legislative framework is in place”. Similarly, there are different models for reforming the family courts other than the model proposed by the Government.

The NSW Bar Association has proposed keeping the stand-alone specialist superior family court. Family Court Judges would be in Division 1 of the Family Court of Australia. Federal Circuit Court judges who are hearing family law matters would move across to Division 2 of the Family Court of Australia. In this way, federal judges hearing only family law matters would be in a single specialist family

court offering judicial, social science and other services. We believe an increase in specialisation in family law and family violence will increase the safety of children and adult victims-survivors of family violence. This is particularly the case for groups that are disproportionately impacted in the family law and family violence systems, including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The need for increased specialisation of courts to improve decisions and outcomes for families is supported by the evidence of many inquiries. We advocate for further discus` We believe an increase sion of the different options. in specialisation in family We prefer a model that retains law and family violence a stand-alone specialist superior will increase the safety family court and increases family of children and adult law and family violence specialisation, such as the proposal by the victims-survivors of family violence... a NSW Bar Association. The safety of children and adult victims-sur-

vivors of family violence requires increased specialisation. The proposed merger serves only to undermine that important need. While we support just, quick and cheap access to justice and there is a role for increasing efficiencies within our court systems, this must not come at the cost of the safety of children and adult victims-survivors of family violence. These two important imperatives are not mutually exclusive, and one ought not be abandoned at the expense of the other. Safety must come first in family law. We would welcome further consultations on alternative models of structural, holistic reform to benefit children, families and victims-survivors of family violence. Action can also be taken now to further increase family violence specialisation in the family law system through: • Introducing effective ongoing court-based family violence risk assessment practices • Early determination of family violence, and • Increasing family violence competency of all professionals in the family law system.

WORDS OF WISDOM Gwenda Bourchier One of Narromine’s favourite ladies, Gwenda turned 100 on January 28. Dubbo Photo News had the privilege of sitting down with her. Here is just a snippet of her amazing life. My brothers and I got up to a lot of things growing up. My father was a slaughterman, and we used to have to “run the guts” as we called it. We would go with him when he would kill a pig and he would hit it on the nose with a block of wood. We had to work hard when we were young. We never had very much, my father was very poor, so we struggled along. We used to cook on a wooden stove and our kitchen had a dirt ﬂoor with a hessian bag over it and that was our lino. We had a round bathtub, and we would all use the same water, after one would ﬁnish the other would get in. We used to wash on a board, then a ringer and now you just press a button. We had a butcher cart and my brother used to drive it from the back gate around to the front in the morning while he was having breakfast. One morning I said, “let me drive it” and of course he let me. When we got there, I pulled it quickly and it caught the edge of the post, threw us out and I hurt my back and

he hurt his leg. We never got any sympathy for it because I shouldn’t have been driving it. My father was very strict, he used to give us a hiding with the strap. We would do something wrong and we got sent to the bathroom. There was a thick strap and a thin strap that was really hard. We would sit on the edge of the bathtub looking at the two straps wondering which one we were going to get. Sometimes we would sit there for two hours. I had a sister, and she went away for nursing but gave it up to look after me when our mother died. I went to school in Dubbo at St Johns and after I left school, I went to work at Mumford’s, and I was there for four years. It was a store that sold clothing and material and I worked on the wool counter. When a cranky woman would come in, we would crawl underneath the counter at the back and we undid their suspenders and pulled their stockings down. When I was about 18, a friend of mine and I went for a swim and we stripped off! It was just something to do and a lot of fun. After I worked for four years, I met my husband and we got married and then we moved to Narromine while he went away to war. I had a bike, and I would

put my daughter in the front of the bike in the basket and I would go around Narromine and set peoples hair. After the war when people were getting help, we weren’t eligible because my husband didn’t go out of Australia. When he came back, he bought a taxi in Narromine. We had the taxi for 20 years. I drove the taxi, I loved it even though you took abuse from some of them. I picked some boys up from the picnic races and one of them started whistling because you would whistle to make horses go to the toilet. So, I said, “do you want to go to the toilet?” and I pulled over and one of them got out and went behind a tree. I used to play the piano; I was self-taught. I played piano around town on the back of a truck. I was involved in St Vincent de Paul for 50 years and I used to love to play bowls. I have four children, eight grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. I’m proud that I’m still here. My mother died at 42 and my father was 57 when he died. I got a letter from the Queen. I like the Royals. I don’t know about Harry; he’s a bit of a larrikin isn’t he! I got one from the Pope, one from Scomo, one from the GovernorGeneral and the State Government for turning 100 this year.

Just a little splash of fun BUNINYONG Swimming Carnival was another fantastic opportunity to see and appreciate the teachers’ roles in looking after our childrens’ education. Many teachers were in the water providing support, encouragement and the occasional helping hand if needed. There was lots of laughter, plenty of smiles, great support between the students and that was before they hit the pool for the swimming part of the carnival. The younger students were having fun and games over in the new water playground area. Congratulations Buninyong. Well done to all involved and to the Principal whose help was much appreciated.

Dream on By KEN SMITH “IF you build it, he will come” a quote from the movie “Field Of Dreams” seems appropriate. On our own local outdoor home of movie dreams for a number of decades, new inspiration is building a young and nostalgic fan base, keen for more events and movies at Dubbo Westview Drive-in. The new event “TGIF Twilight Market and Rock’n’Roll Coffee Cruise” was well attended and Dubbo Photo News went along for the food, fun and some finee machines.

SUDOKU EXTRA

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

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

HOCKEY Brendan Sneesby and Graham Richardson with their eyes on the ball

Come and try! By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL DUBBO Hockey has a free six week competition running at Pioneer Park Field in West Dubbo. One of the organisers, Australian Masters player Tracey Hardie-Jones, says all ages and skill levels are welcome. ‘We had our first gathering last Friday. It was terrific to see some familiar faces but even more exciting that a few people came for their first time and a few thought they’d give it a go after a long break,” she said. “We’re encouraging people to come and try hockey as their new chosen sport. “Dubbo is a regional centre and there are lots of new people in town so we want to make them welcome and introduce new or ‘long-time under-used skills,” she smiled. Tracey says hockey attracts people of all ages, from tiny tots to more mature men and women who just can’t get enough. “We had a three-generation family playing together last season and more and more are staying in hockey. Because of the pathways for juniors and increasingly popular Masters tournaments there are plenty of opportunities to interact with like-minded folks.” She says Dubbo Hockey is totally inclusive and is always looking for innovative ways to allow people with a variety of challenges to be involved. “We are also a multi-cultural city and region so would love to have players from other cultures lift us by their presence.” Register your interest by emailing hockey@dubbohockey.com.au

Dubbo City Bowls Club prepares for last roll By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL BOWLERS rolled up to the city’s original bowling club last week thinking it was to be their last day on the greens that had received their first bowl on March 7, 1906. The famous club was formed by a dedicated band of citizens to bring a new sport to the town. The club was formed at a meeting in the Royal Hotel on July 27, 1904 but through drought and other difficulties, work on the bowling green in Victoria Park did not commence until August 26, 1905. Wellington and St George clubs were the first to visit and thus began over a century of friendships and competition. Over the years Dubbo City Bowling Club has expanded its horizons, inviting females onto the greens in the late 1950s and allowing more flexible dress codes to enable social bowlers to come and try the ancient sport. Last week as members prepared themselves for “their last fling” a memo was distributed: Bowlers – the Club’s License was not transferred yesterday, so it is business as usual. This Thursday, Twilight Bowls is not on as it is too late to re-organize. Satur-

day, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday bowls are back on next week. Championships can be played on Saturday. Pennants on Sunday for the 7’s will be a home game against Macquarie at 10am. Nevertheless, the regulars gathered on Thursday and played “as if it was their last” according to a trusted source! Dubbo City Bowlers will remain at their spiritual home until the licence is transferred to the RSL Sporties Club, the old Railway Bowling Club in north Dubbo. Once there, players will have to master synthetic greens which have been laid in recent weeks.

Some Ducks lost on the Newell! By GEOFF MANN DUBBO Ducks Publicity Officer Judy Walsh thinks some of the flock may have been blown off course on the return flight from the AIF Carnival last week. “We were a bit light on in the pool on Sunday, perhaps the others were still drying their feathers from their swim in Forbes!” Captain Dave Sparkes again delighted in putting on a full morning's program according to Judy. “Josh Bird is swimming very well and delights everyone with his enthusiasm to dive in and have a go. He had a great win in the 100 metre freestyle then backed up with Greg Salmon to win the

2x25 metre Breaststroke/ Breaststroke Brace relay. Well, at least they touched first but ‘the arbitrators of all things chronological’ decided they had broken along with the next two placegetters. “The breakers allowed Mark Prentice to ‘do a Bradbury’ and swoop in for his second medal of the morning!” Mark combined with John Wherritt in the Brace and apparently, added salt to the injury by beating Greg Salmon again in the 25 metre Butterfly. “And, as usual, Sparkesy had his weekly win in the 25 metre Backstroke. He must be due for a new bottle of white out I think,” Judy said with tongue firmly in her cheek.

SWIMMING

Socially Sundy By PISTOL PETE LAST week we thought would be our last on the hallowed turf, but ‘rumours of our demise were grossly exaggerated”! Since 2020 we have all become accustomed to ever-changing circumstances so nothing was going to stop our staunch members rolling up for at least one more Sunday morning on the old City rinks. Thirty-four bowlers gathered for gossip, laughter and even some “unbiased” bowls! Steve Kelly, Karen Greenhalge and skip Peter Sinclair took control against Ron Morrison, Helen Hamblin and Gordon Lummis, claiming 12 of the 16 ends. The disciplined triples team led by “skip Pete”, chalked up 19 shots to six. On the rink next door, it was another one-sided affair – if you can be one-sided in a two-a-team match! In a display worthy of a mention, John Cole and John Fardell turned on a masterful display, consigning Pete Ruzans and

Julie Brown to mere spectators. The losers, it must be said, were gracious in defeat, congratulating the two Johnnies on their 25-7 masterclass. Frank Armstrong and Shirley Marchant teamed up with Matt Quill for a battle of the wits against Sue McAwley, DOC and Kevin Scott. In a game that twisted and turned, the 16th end saw Matt’s trio ahead by two, 16-14. “We might have got them if it had been 21 ends,” Kevin boasted bravely! Col Cottee had the fun task of ‘managing’ Pat Shirwin and Peter Bennison in their clash with Phil Knight, Ruby Stocking and newcomer Colleen Heatrick. Col’s team won 17-9. “As much as they willed they wilted” was the sentiment in the post-roll washup. Leo Balstad, Helen Linnane and Mel Giddings outpointed Ron McAwley, Tom Hando and Gordon Scott 16-11. A most enjoyable game. Perhaps the highlight of Sunday

Combination Bowls played out on Rink 18. Paul Martin, Cheryl Storch and Col Dover led comfortably before the 14th end when Carl New, Gary Huggins and Lionel Ayoub made a massive move. They gathered five shots to claw back to minus four then pulled another three back on the 15th. There was to be no fairy tale comeback however as Paul, Cheryl and Col held it together on the last end to win 18 – 16.

I am sure these bowlers enjoyed the match. Runners-up for the day were Peter Sinclair, Karen Greenhalge and Steve Kelly. Resters – Peter Bennison, Phil Knight, John Cole, Ron Morrison and Helen Hamblin managed to plop their bowls against the elusive white ball. Lucky Numbers – Sue McAwley – dear old hubby, Ron got this one – and Mat Quill

Dragons breathe fire on the Lake Ellie gets another Blue By GEOFF MANN

THIRTY-FIVE Orana Outback Dragons travelled to Canberra and competed with 20 other teams on the pristine waters of Lake Burley Griffin. The Dragons normally have a crew of 20, however for last weekend each boat was restricted to 10 paddlers plus a drummer and sweep according to Chris Robinson. “The boats seemed a little under-staffed with only half the usual numbers so huge thanks to Graeme Board and Deb Garden who did a great job sweeping six boats in each race.” In the 2km race the boat was fully crewed. “Our women’s team finished third in a timed event and a similar position in the mixed 2km

race. Chris says it was a hectic day. “We were on the water racing by 8am and didn’t pull out our boat until around 2.30.”

Perhaps the most pleasing aspect of the regatta was the debut of several new members. “They absolutely loved it.”

CONGRATULATIONS to Ellie Purtell on her selection in the under 18’s NSW Blues hockey team. Ellie will play at the Nationals in Launceston from 16th-24th April. It is becoming a norm for the talented Dubbo Hockey player who first featured on the pages of Dubbo Photo News in 2016. The Dubbo Hockey Association had a similar message. “Ellie will have an awesome time! She has been displaying fantastic skills and has a great knowledge of the game. All of our members wish her good luck in the upcoming tournament. Bring home gold!” Dubbo Photo News will bring photos of the brilliant youngster as soon as her new Blues uniform arrives.

DUBBO Duck Henry Willcockson flew in for a swim with the Platys recently, combining with Di Donnelly to win the senior events while Bonni and Lilly Sheridan won the Junior races. Henry is well-versed in the Platypus Club having worked in Wellington for many years. He is always a good host when we slip into Dubbo so it was fabulous we were able to repay the hospitality. Aaron Edwards and Cherie Hughes claimed the Brace Relay. Last week Luke Wykes and Janelle Frappell conquered the Senior events; Bonni Sheridan won both the Junior races and Bella Sheridan teamed up with Michael McLaughlin to win the Brace Relay. Despite our best efforts, the Platypus Club failed to win an event at the Western District AIF Championships. Colin Sheridan finished third in the 30 metre open event and our 10 x 50 metre relay team came home with silver and the 4 x 50 group picked up bronze. Results Tue 16 February JUNIORS  25m – Bonni Sheridan (+.22), 2nd Mason Hill (-.32), 3rd Xandah Edwards (-.46)  50 Metre – Bonni Sheridan (+.71), 2nd Xandah Edwards (+.85), 3rd Zacary Hill (-1.02) SENIORS  30m – Luke Wykes (-.38), 2Aaron Edwards (+.81), 3 Mark Inwood & Michael McLaughlan (+.84)  50m – Janelle Frappell (-.21), 2nd Terry Dray- 0.43, 3rd Mark Inwood+ 0.57  Brace Relay – Bella Sheridan/ Michael McLaughlin (-.96), 2nd Xandah Edwards/Colin Sheridan (+ 2.81), 3rd Nick Knowles/Mason Hill (+5.33)

Coach Beehag gets the players toes a tappin’!

Lisa loves spending time on the Nita McGrath Courts By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL ONE of Australia’s most esteemed players and coaches, Lisa Beehag made an unexpected visit to Dubbo last week and ran some of the local rep teams through their paces. “I take any chance I get to come out here and when my husband had work in Wellington I jumped in the car,” Lisa laughed. “Over the past twenty years or more I’ve spent a lot of time with Dubbo’s ‘Mrs Netball’, the now dearly departed Nita McGrath. This entire complex is a wonderful tribute to her and other volunteers' passion and unselfish devotion to the girls and fami-

lies who play netball.” Lisa played for the Diamonds from 1987-89 before her appointment as Assistant coach of the Australian team and leading Sydney Swifts to the National League in 2012/13. These days she is Director and Coach Mentor of BNET Consulting, continuing her lifetime love of the sport. “I am head Coach of Panthers Netball, working with coaches for the Western Sydney Giants Super team as well as Association clubs. I really enjoy being part of the development of the sport, especially mentoring others with the same drive and creating pathways for young players,” Lisa said, pointing out that

2020 presented a unique set of challenges for everyone, including netball coaches. “We had guest Zoom sessions with Super Netball players Paige Hadley, Sam Poolman, Amy Parmenter, Keira Austin and April Brandley on topics such as the challenges of training in isolation, team culture and values as well as player roles and responsibilities.” The High Performance Manager and former NSW Swifts coach, was recognised for her contribution to the sport, honoured with an Order of Australia Medal last year. Lisa’s talents have been enlisted in both Singapore

and Malaysia (current) where she has been tasked as national Coach and Technical Manager. The Diamond has been an integral part of the Western Region Academy of Sport Pathways program since its inception. “I had so much fun with then Directors Nancy Haslop and

Beth Shea and was fortunate enough to work closely with Linda McLeod who is still a massive driving force for the sport in Dubbo and across the west.” Dubbo’s Under 14 representative team will have an extra spring in their steps when they take to the court this yyear.
