TIMBER TROUBLES By JOHN RYAN

GREG KILBY lived at Coonamble for 35 years on two sides of the Pilliga Forest, now he’s calling for logging of that woodland to resume. Mr Kilby contacted Dubbo Photo News after our reports two weeks ago which showed local construction figures estimating a quarter of Dubbo’s workforces could lose their jobs if the timber supply chain collapsed. “There’s a possibility it could get burnt like a lot of other timber. There’s no timber now so if we lose the Pilliga Forest, it’d be a terrible loss,” he said. “When these forests aren’t being logged they’re losing their fire trails, those trails are becom-

ing overgrown with suckers and they won’t be able to get in there to fight a fire. “The timber people who need to be in there can put a fire out while it’s small, but the problem with the fires today is they get too big before they try to put them out and then they lose thousands of hectares.” Mr Kilby said logging was a major industry with around five B-Doubles of timber a week going out on the roads adjoining his properties. He said as well as becoming a fire trap, the Pilliga in particular is a great natural resource that keeps regenerating. “We don’t want to lose the pine in the Pilliga Forest, it’s a self-replacing pine forest and it’s there

to be milled – all these people building houses want pine and there it is, ready to mill,” he said. “They had a big contract to supply cypress pine to Japan for flooring because termites don’t eat it, white ants don’t eat it, and they had a big contract with Japan and (former NSW Premier) Bob Carr shut it down; they lost that contract. “I’ve pulled old buildings down, 60 or 80 years old, and if they don’t get wet they’re still as good as the day that timber was milled, that’s white cypress with no treatment, even with no treatment, white ants will not eat it.” Dubbo builder Peter Fuller said he worked for a lady who’d lived on a block in the Pilliga. “They were soldier settlements

given to them after World War I and she lived on one of the farms out there. She said during the drought of the 1920s farmers just walked off the farm. “She said they’d just get in their horse and cart and go, they’d even leave furniture behind and the country just got neglected and no-one touched it. The regrowth happened and for years it was called the Pilliga Scrub, not Pilliga Forest, it was ex-farmland, not natural forest,” Mr Fuller told Dubbo Photo News. He said prior to the farmers arriving the area was lightly wooded, open rangeland. “I’ve been with farmers when they’ve knocked down 200 acres of regrowth and you’re absolutely amazed how thick it comes back

and there are trees there that are only 20 years old and I would have thought they would have been there for all of my life.” He said a reborn western timber industry could create jobs to not only revitalise small towns such as Baradine and Gulargambone, but also ensure continuity of supply to the construction industry in the state’s west. “It’d be crucial. It killed a lot of the little towns around the Pilliga when Bob Carr closed it off and he did it to win Green votes in Sydney. Country people are used to being sacrificed for the sake of a vote in Sydney, but yeah, he just destroyed country towns,” he said. Continued page 4

FARMER SUPPORT

COVID VACCINE

That’s a relief: year’s rates scrapped

Roll out the vaccine

FARMERS across the region have been granted another rate relief following a move by the state government to again waive Local Land Services (LLS) charges for 2021. The reprieve comes as farmers work towards recovery after years of drought, with Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders applauding the decision which will benefit many across his electorate. Mr Saunders said conditions may have improved thanks to significant rain over past months, “drought recovery doesn’t happen overnight”. This is the third year in a row that the rates have been waived. Notices are expected to arrive in the mailboxes of LLS ratepayers over coming weeks. There are other assistance measures available to eligible landholders, who are urged to visit www. dpi.nsw.gov.au or phone the NSW Rural Assistance Authority on 1800678593.

By JOHN RYAN SOME of Dubbo and the region’s most at-risk people have started receiving their first COVID-19 jab this week, with regional general practices and respiratory clinics among those to join the vaccination roll-out from Monday. Member for Parkes, Mark Coulton, said Phase 1B would see elderly and immunocompromised residents in the region among the nation’s first to get the jab. Eligible residents in towns across the region, including Dubbo, Walgett, Coonabarabran and Cobar would be able to receive the vaccine from their doctors with more GP clinics to be added in coming weeks. Phase 1B includes anyone aged 70 and over, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people aged 55 years and over and people with certain underlying medical conditions. Mr Coulton said everyone would eventually be able to get the vaccination, but that the first phase is aimed at our most vulnerable. If you are eligible, you will be able to view vaccination clinics and book an appointment online or via phone. If you are not yet eligible, you will be able to register your interest so that you can be notified when you are able to book. You don’t need to be a patient of a GP clinic to obtain a vaccine from them, however, if you have an underlying condition you must provide evidence to obtain the

vaccine under Phase 1B. Meantime, Western NSW Local Health District frontline health staff rolled up their sleeves to receive the first jabs of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine at the Dubbo Hospital Vaccination Hub Monday morning. The Vaccination Hub at Dubbo is operating as a central point of storage and distribution for the vaccinations that will distributed to thousands of staff across the Local Health District. Dubbo Health Service’s Emergency Department director Dr Dan Stewart said the vaccination was a safe and effective way of protecting the community. “Staff here in Dubbo know what it’s like to care for COVID-19 patients, and we all know that COVID-19 has had an extraordinary impact on our communities. “The Dubbo hospital team are excited to be among the first people in the region to receive the vaccine. I want to encourage my colleagues and everyone in the community to get vaccinated when they are eligible,” said Dr Stewart. Dubbo, along with Orange and Bathurst hospitals, will provide fixed-site vaccination clinics for healthcare workers, with two mobile services rotating through health facilities at another 35 locations. Western NSW Local Health District chief executive Scott McLachlan,said that vaccination of frontline health staff was an important milestone for communi-

ties across the region. “We all want and need our local healthcare workers to be safe and healthy. COVID-19 vaccination is key in protecting them, and everyone else in our community. “The role being played here in Dubbo, as a vaccination hub, is very important. To get both doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to our staff is a huge undertaking and the Dubbo hub will be the logistics centre for all that activity. “It’s a massive exercise but one we’ve planned in great detail. The

COVID-19 vaccine offers an additional measure of protection and I want to join Dr Stewart in encouraging all health staff, and in fact everyone in the community, to take advantage of having the vaccine when it becomes available to them.” To find out more about eligibility for COVID-19 vaccination, go to the Australian Government’s online eligibility checker at www. health.gov.au.

RIVER STREET BRIDGE

NSW Parliament debates bridge By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THE River Street Bridge petition was debated in NSW Parliament on Thursday, March 18. The Shadow Minister for Regional Transport David Harris led the debate and gave notice of a motion in the Legislative Assembly calling on the Government to not force the River Street Bridge option on Dubbo. Dubbo Regional Council Mayor Ben Shields, Councillor Greg Moore, Councillor Vicki Etheridge and her husband, Mick Etheridge, and outgoing chief executive officer Michael McMahon were present in the public gallery. Early in Mr Harris’s speech he said it was a rare thing when a regional community called a $220 million dollar project into question. “I was surprised when I first vis-

ited Dubbo and met with the wide group of stakeholders who wanted further investigation of options for a project there. “Those groups included the NSW Farmers Association Dubbo Branch, the Master Builders Association Dubbo, Dubbo Regional Council, the Transport Workers’ Union, transport owners, transport drivers – not just from Dubbo but from other parts of the State – individual farmers, residents whose land would be affected by the current River Street project, and the traditional owners,” Mr Harris said. “People are clearly saying that before the Government spends $220 million, get it right. Let us listen to the community’s concerns and make sure we fix the issues in Dubbo and the wider transport issues.”

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders began his reply by calling into question the validity of the petition, stating the petition is stacked. “There are signatures from people from Gympie, Gundagai, Guyra and Walcha. In fact, every single State in Australia has a signature – as does New Zealand. Yes, New Zealand is part of this petition.” Mr Saunders said. Mr Saunders also said issues which arose during the December 2010 flood seeded the idea for the project, which was brought to the public in 2016. “The low-level Serisier Bridge went under and the only way to cross the city was the one L.H. Ford Bridge. Imagine every single car, bus, trike, bike and electric scooter all using one bridge. It was complete and utter chaos. In some cases, it took a couple of hours for

people to cross,” he said. He said the option of Troy Junction bridge put traffic on the wrong side of flood waters and traffic congestion issues were being addressed in part by a possible South Dubbo bridge. Member for Barwon Roy Butler showed his support for petitioners saying the debate should not be about whether the Government should be building a high-level crossing at the Serisier Bridge or the Troy Bridge bypass. “It should be about how badly government has failed to listen to a community. In regard to the building project, the people of Dubbo should not be asked to choose which option to build. A growing regional city like Dubbo – DubVegas – that my constituents need to access and travel through needs and deserves both.”

Weighing in on the debate in favour of the project were Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Roads and Infrastructure Christopher Gulaptis and Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole. Against the project were Shadow Minister for Water Clayton Barr. Mr Harris challenged the government to listen to the locals impacted by the River Street Bridge option. “The original benefit-cost ration [BCR] was 0.5 – at that stage it was costing $140 million. When it was looked at in detail that BCR dropped to 0.3. There were other options higher than that and there was one option that could have been lower than that, but the Government never looked at it. The Government should be serious, talk to the community and hear what they are saying.”

COVER STORY

TRIVIA TEST

Locals call for logging Continued from page 1

“(Bob Carr) took a sawmill away that employed 14 people and gave them an information centre that employs two people. Yeah, thanks Bob, that was a great exchange. It’s the ongoing things, timber workers have to go to work which means local mechanics maintain their vehicles, local teachers educate their children, so when you close the mill the dominoes fall. Matt Gilbert works at Bettaframe and Trusses and said the Dubbo Photo News story on timber shortages had created a massive reaction in the local construction industry, with people concerned the biggest boom ever could collapse because timber may become impossible to source. “I do think it’s important that we keep the supply chain going because it has a knock-on effect to so many jobs and business, so having a back-up plan like’s been suggested is beneficial for the region economically, beneficial for maintaining jobs,” Mr Gilbert said. “A lot of the hardwoods we use are from overseas as well so it’s important to Dubbo and the Western Region that we’re self-sustainable. We can do that with the timber supplies from within the region so long as we have a think about it and be a little bit smarter and reinforce the supply chain so we don’t suffer as a result of being reliant on our imports.” Mr Gilbert allayed environmental concerns, citing as an example of sustainable practises the logging, tree planting and culling requirements being met by a lot of the timber mills within South Australia and Victoria. “We just have to follow inline with a lot of those requirements and it’s definitely possible, and with the reserves that are in the Pilliga and Goonoo it’s definitely manageable,” he said. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders told Dubbo Photo News the Forestry Corporation is working hard to carry out detailed assessments of all the areas impacted by the 2019-20 bushfires and the long-term implications for timber supply. He said Labor and the Greens are opposed to the forestry industry because they don’t care about regional communities. “I would suggest that some sensible discussions need to be had

about the possibility of the industry returning to our region, noting that it does create jobs but also being mindful of the environmental impacts,” Mr Saunders told Dubbo Photo News. “The NSW Government fully appreciates the seriousness of the problems a protracted shortage of construction timbers could cause, not just for regional towns but for all communities across NSW. However, there is no easy solution as no-one can make trees grow more quickly than they will. “Current shortages in softwood timber are not due to the bushfire impact, they relate to increased demand linked to housing construction, and fewer imports as a result of a range of factors including the value of the dollar against the strong US market.” Barwon MP Roy Butler told Dubbo Photo News that restoring a sustainable timber industry would have massive positive impacts for communities in the Barwon electorate. “Take for instance the community of Baradine where there’s one mill that has been forced to close. With a sustainable timber industry they would be able to employ 20 people, there would be dollars flowing through local businesses, and importantly good ecological outcomes,” Mr Butler said. “I say good environmental outcomes because a Department of Primary Industry study showed that patchwork thinning of Pilliga cypress pine regrowth not only improves biodiversity, but can restore and improve habitat for native species including mi-

crobats, small reptiles, birds and marsupials. “Restoring a sustainable timber industry in Baradine really is a win-win.” Talk of restarting logging in the Pilliga and Goonoo was met with shock from local environmental groups. Dubbo Field Naturalist and Conservation Society president Melanie Hancock said local conservationists thought the issue of logging in the Goonoo and Pilliga was settled long ago. “We had not heard of any proposal to re-open native hardwood logging in the Goonoo Forest State Conservation Area. We assume any change in land use there will need to be formally put in front of the public for comment and look forward to having our

More needs to be done for timber industry, MP says THE Australian Parliament’s Agriculture and Water Resources Committee has published its report “Aussie logs for Aussie jobs: inquiry into timber supply chain constraints in the Australian plantation sector”. The Committee’s inquiry considered challenges preventing growth in Australia’s timber industry and investigated potential solutions to current issues. Committee chair Rick Wilson MP noted the ongoing decline in the extent of the domestic plantation estate, and stated that “more needs to be done if the timber industry is to flourish into the future”. “From greater investment in

forestry research and development capabilities, farm forestry, and the exciting new possibilities presented by carbon storage initiatives, the industry is ripe for innovation and growth,” he said. The committee recommended the commonwealth support stakeholders to develop a voluntary code of conduct for the timber industry. “It is anticipated that such an arrangement would better support the growth of an efficient domestic processing sector, while reducing the risks associated with reliance on export markets for plantation owners,” Mr Wilson said.

say on this matter,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “These are relatively slow growing forests which are managed for conservation. We believe that it is critical to maintain a mix of land uses across the landscape for landscape health – with both conservation and primary production occurring. “It is of concern that these conservation areas could be potentially disturbed by logging once more after all the forestry industry changes.” She said the arguments put forward for logging to resume didn’t stack up, saying the current timber shortage exacerbated by the Coronavirus pandemic supply chain disruptions isn’t a reason to restart local timber harvesting. She believes logging is not a permanent fix, questioning what happens when there are no more trees to log, what do communities then turn to for economic stimulus? “A lot of public money for re-structuring the local timber industry went into the creation of these conservation areas. Would this be repaid to the taxpayer?” she asked. “Cypress pine issues were there during the many years of logging of Goonoo Forest. The largest fires known there were during Forestry NSW management, we don’t see that this would change.” She also pointed out there are several threatened species that rely upon these forests, like the Malleefowl, Glossy-black Cockatoo and woodland birds such as the Speckled Warbler.

From cops to curators for old Wello Police Station WELLINGTON’S old police station will soon go from coppers to curators with a proposal to refurbish the premises to provide a space for community use endorsed by this week’s meeting of Dubbo Regional Council (DRC). Council will provide the Wellington Museum Committee with a license agreement to operate for a minimum of 12 months, and the committee will develop and curate an exhibition to be displayed in three of the station’s rooms from the end of May this year. Alongside the museum, the old station will house a community creative arts and culture hub. During that first year DRC will further assess the Oxley Museum property and whatever future restoration work will be required for the iconic old police station. Council has offered the museum committee the assistance of its cultural development team to help with a long term plan and vision for the collection and capacity to manage a viable museum experience for visitors.

MAAS TITAN MACQUARIE MUD RUN

Good clean fun for community By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY AT first glance, you’d be forgiven for thinking this story’s photograph shows people enjoying the thrills and spills of the MAAS Titan Macquarie Mud Run, but actually you’re witnessing community service in action. That’s because all the proceeds from entry tickets, from every Titan Mud Run are put back into the community to build infrastructure promoting healthy lifestyles. Proceeds from Maas Titan Macquarie Mud Run have previously been donated to install lights along the Tracker Riley foot path in west Dubbo, build the shelter at Ollie Robbins Oval, construct concrete stairs for Dubbo Triathlon on the banks of the Macquarie River, a permanent Ninja Course and Titan Outdoor Gym both at Sir Roden Cutler Park. “People from our volunteers to our businesspeople, to our entrants, our fellow partners who have assisted not only with media, the Dubbo Regional Council, it’s a big thanks for allowing us to create amazing facilities in the community,” Titan Mud Run committee member Rod Fardell said, “The whole event is one big circular community event which allows us to continually give back... to the community. “When people buy into the event it just allows us to do more. We’re in our eighth year now and there’s a long list of projects that

have been done and completed, and locals can enjoy and participate in those. “It’s amazing the support we get from our business sponsors, particularly the Maas Group which has been an integral part of the event. Our event wouldn’t be where it is today without sponsors like them and our other partners in the business community and the media.” Mr Fardell said when people don’t step up and help out it’s either left up to others to do the

heavy lifting, or the event simply doesn’t happen. “Committees like ours are mostly volunteers, and they do what they do for no other reason than to be part of their community. So when you have the opportunity to support those who support community events, please do so,’ he said. “Life is busy and sometimes it’s difficult to find the time, but bonding together to have that focus and commitment to know that what you’re doing is making

a difference, that’s a very powerful thing.” So, when businesses, sports clubs, friends, service clubs and schools form all-ability teams or individuals sign up, to enjoy the river crossings, mud slides and pits, and walls to climb (if they want – nothing’s compulsory) they are in fact raising funds for free community infrastructure. There are four sections. For kids aged five to 14 years, marshall at Regand Park Picnic ground and finish at Ollie Robbins Oval with the adults. The course is 4.5 kilometres long and the kids do not cross the river. The Titan is for youth 15 to 17 years and adults over 18, over 10 kilometres. The Titan and kids’ events are not timed, and the obstacles are 100 per cent optional, so participation is completely at the entrant’s own ability and preferred pace. For those seeking the ultimate test in the elite category, however, there is the opportunity to beat the clock for first, second or third prize. You can enter as an individual or team. At the finish line everyone receives a cold drink and a medal. The Titan Macquarie Mud Run 2021 is on Saturday, March 27 from 8am to 4pm, starting at Ollie Robbins Oval. Dressing up is optional. The 2021 MAAS Titan Mud Run is a COVID-safe event. Registrations can be done online.

8TH MARCH – 31ST MARCH

RIVER communities in the far west of the state will be cheering with the news that the state government is abandoning engineering works that opponents say would have dried out the Menindee Lakes. Nature Conservation Council’s Chris Gambian praised Water Minister Melinda Pavey for “listening to the local community” which has long opposed the works they say would have adversely impacted ecosystems, communities and businesses that rely on the lakes for their survival. Scrapping the Menindee Lakes engineering works was a key demand of the Darling-Baaka River delegation, which comprised landholders and Indigenous leaders from around the lakes and far west who made the journey to Sydney to lobby for improved river health. The group is calling on the government to buy back water licenses, limit floodplain harvesting to ecologically sustainable levels and deliver cultural water to benefit traditional owners.

RAAF BASE REVISITED

COUNCIL WATCH

Taking stock of RAAF Base history

Former RAAF No 2 Stores Depot Detachment D (2SDD) Independent Stocktake Staff Jim Clarke remembers worked there for 18 years. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY THIS year marks the 100th anniversary of the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF), which for over half its life had a significant presence in Dubbo, most visibly seen in the former RAAF base. Built in 1942, it was then known as No. 6 Stores Depot (6SD) before becoming No 2 Stores Depot Detachment D (2SDD) in 1953. It would be almost 30 years later that Narromine man Jim Clarke first ‘bundied on’ as a storeman and then Independent Stocktake Staff (ISS), which he did for 18 years until the depot closed. “It was the best bloody job I ever had. It was a good place to work,” the 85-year-old told Dubbo Photo News recently. “I’d bundy on at 6.30 in the morning, then walk up to 5 Site. It was one of the biggest hangars and it had the most gear in it. There were aircraft parts and most of it was “Dak”, the Dakota, or the DC3. “It was chock-a-block, big stuff, right up to the roof. We used forklifts to stack everything. We had a big section of small stuff too. We had no computers. We had big, thick books that everything was written in, called 144s. Everything was recorded from

bomb casings to the clothing. “There were a lot of codes for everything. I can remember a fair bit of them. 1270 was a pretty popular one, that was the Mirage. We had six Winjeels there. When we finished up there, we had F18 parts. Things were being sent all over Australia and all over the world,” Mr Clarke said. During his tenure, the Australian Bicentennial State Coach, a gift for Queen Elizabeth was built in the Transport Hangar and between July and August 1990, 154 semi-trailer loads of Mirage aircraft parts were taken from the depot. The constant coming and going of items meant it took the ISS team four years to complete one

stock take. “We counted everything. Even the buildings were counted every two years, that was called P-A-R. One year, one of the buildings did go missing!” Quite often stock was made redundant and destroyed. “I shouldn’t tell you. I’m sworn; when you signed on, you’re not to tell anything, but bugger it, they can jail me, I’m just about buggered so it doesn’t matter. “Just after the war, in 1950, before I came there, they’d put a lot of stuff down the mines at Peak Hill, like guns, and then after a storm they were coming out through the soil, so they had to do something about that. “I never saw that, but I do know

in the depot we used to walk up to 5 Site across the paddock, and there were Second World War Beaufort pom poms off the bombers, and they were buried there, and they were coming up out of the soil. “1SD sent a troop of fellas up from Point Cook and to get some Beaufort parts and guns, and we told them where they were buried. They bought a metal detector and found enough to do a plane.” Mr Clarke didn’t like to see items discarded or destroyed and he salvaged a handful of silk maps and other small items destined for the scrap heap. “They’re all important. They’re a part of history,” he said.

Swimmers’ pleas for extended season sunk DESPITE impassioned pleas on behalf of their members, the request by two local amateur swimming clubs to have the public pool’s season extended by a month has been sunk by Dubbo Regional Council. Orana Aquatic and Dubbo City Swimtech both approached council in writing asking that the pool remain open throughout April to allow for a longer training season. In their representations, tabled by Cr Ben Shields in a Mayoral Minute, both clubs expressed concern that lack of access to facilities was an impediment to swimmers’ preparation for state and national competitions. Councillors Diffey, Grant and Gumley declared a non-pecuniary interest with their children belonging to various local swimming clubs and left the meeting. The remaining councillors then voted against the motion to extend the swimming season, citing both the financial burden of an extended season (an estimated $28,000) and the precedent set by the refusal of a similar request regarding the Wellington pool. Councillors urged all sporting organisations to make these sorts of representations during the annual budgeting process rather than springing ‘thought bubbles’ at the last minute after all monies have already been allocated in a year where the COVID-19 pandemic has already ripped millions of dollars from council’s bottom line.

COUNCIL WATCH

Dugald’s Facebook fury over posts By JOHN RYAN AS the River Street Bridge petition was set to be debated in state parliament a torpedo had already been launched which disrupted the lengthy grassroots’ campaign. The morning of the debate Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders revealed he’d contacted police about Facebook posts linking his wife and teenage daughter to state government funding grants given to their respective workplaces. Speaking to the media on his return to Dubbo, Mr Saunders quickly put those allegations to rest. “The money the Dubbo Golf Club received to host the NSW Women’s Open was announced before I was elected as the Member for the Dubbo electorate and well before my teenage daughter began casual work at that particular venue,” he said. “Similarly, any funding which has been received by Maverick Bioscience was determined by a government department based on criteria designed to create new jobs and support regional NSW. A process I was not involved in.” He said as a husband and a father he was deeply offended by the public commentary about his wife and daughter from a group he claimed hides behind fake accounts and refuses to take accountability for their statements. “The link had been made from a group Anyone but Nats and

Stop the River Street Bridge and there’d been a personal attack on myself and more importantly my wife and my teenage daughter and that was really what created the problem, that’s unforgivable as far as I’m concerned,” Mr Saunders said. “We’ve just had a week of talking about the need to look after, protect, think about particularly young women in the workplace and then we had exactly the opposite examples, a bullying smear campaign run by a group that

should be absolutely ashamed of themselves. “I spoke on radio... with the founder (Of Anyone but Nats) Charles Tym and he refused to pull the post down on social media that was alleging completely inaccurate things and it’s just one of those pathetic examples of keyboard warriors, gutless people, not actually willing to put their names to anything.” He said the posts were then shared by others. “Gutless people, faceless peo-

ple, fake accounts on social media which I’m saying ‘enough’s enough’, we keep talking about mental health and bullying, well this is another example of that, it’s pathetic.” Dubbo Photo News tried multiple times to contact the person involved with the Stop the River Street Bridge campaign who it’s alleged was involved with these Facebook posts. Dubbo Photo News sent numerous questions asking for explanations on a number of issues but at our deadline time, no response had been received. Anyone but Nats founder Charles Tym was likewise contacted for comment. He did undertake to provide responses to a number of questions but also failed to submit any answers by our deadline. Questions to Mr Tym included: z Could you please explain the procedure whereby a volunteer could post those claims about Dugald Saunders? z How many people have admin rights to the Anyone but Nats Facebook page? z Have you put procedures in place to prevent this sort of thing from happening again? z Did Anyone but Nats pull the posts down, or was that action taken by Facebook? Dubbo Photo News encourages robust community discussion and debate, but does not countenance any bullying behaviour of this nature.

Oval parking push a “no brainer” says Gumley A LACK of parking at Dubbo’s Apex Oval has prompted Councillor Dayne Gumley to propose that a portion of council-owned land around Kokoda Place be turned into a sealed carpark near the Wingewarra Street entrance to the popular sporting facility. In what Cr Gumley said was “a no brainer, really” he said the lack of sufficient parking was not in line with Apex Oval being the site of premier sporting events. He said of the parcel of land in question, “Most people see it as a dust bowl in summer and a swamp in winter – it’s about time we bring the precinct up to scratch and start providing facilities for the people who use it.” He called for council to prepare conceptual plans for the construction on the parcel of land owned by council, citing the state government’s eagerness to support infrastructure projects as “a way out of COVID” as a possible source of grant funding for the parking upgrade. Cr Mohr also spoke in support of the motion, saying he had “walked many miles at that oval through dust and mud” and that the proposal was “a long time coming”.

EASTER

A festival made from Ironbark By JOHN RYAN THE Easter weekend promises plenty of tough old pioneer fun with the final preparations being made for the 2021 Man From Ironbark Festival on Saturday, April 3. Cars from the electric age and classic cars with fine lines will be making the trek to Stuart Town for the show and organisers are encouraging anyone who wants to show off their toys, new or old, on the holiday weekend to start preparing their mounts to make the trip. The Rural Fire Service will be on hand, there’ll be heritage machinery on display along with a Prospectors Activity Centre which will give kids the chance to find some ‘gold’ as well as giving mum and dad the opportunity to discuss all things prospecting with the experts on site. No Easter event is complete without a visit from the friendly furry bunny. It’ll be onsite to help the kids in an Easter Egg Hunt as well as looking over some great Easter Hat Bonnets and Teddy Bears during the special Hat and

REGIONAL ROADS

Roads minister promises no cuts to funding By LYDIA PEDRANA SECRET plans to rip $187.1 million in roads funding away from regional council have been rubbished by Minister for Regional Transport and Roads, Paul Toole. Shadow Minister for Rural Roads, Mick Veitch, claims Labor obtained documents that reveal the Government is set to merge the Regional Road Block Grant and Regional Roads REPAIR Programs under a new funding model. Mr Veitch said such plans would severely impact local councils’ ability to maintain roads, as well as damaging their financial state and leading to thousands of job losses. “Many councils could be substantially worse off, and the Government has no plan to support regional road infrastructure which is already in desperate need across NSW,” Mr Veitch said. “What’s worse is that these

funding and job cuts were prepared in secret, without informing local councils, peak bodies, or unions about the proposed plans.” But Mr Toole told Dubbo Photo News that the NSW Government has “no plan to reform or remove the Block and REPAIR grant programs,” before pointing the finger back at the Opposition. “We are committed to supporting local councils in the management of their regional road infrastructure,” he said. “When Labor was last in Government, they dumped hundreds of millions of dollars of regional roads on councils – and it’s disappointing they are now scaremongering about a plan that doesn’t exist.” Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) receives almost $2.5 million worth of roads funding annually, and Director of Infrastructure, Julian Geddes, confirmed council was not aware of any changes to

the current arrangement. “Dubbo Regional Council has not received any correspondence to suggest current funding streams will be reduced,” he said. “DRC receives a total of $2,025,000 in Regional Roads funding and $400,000 in REPAIR grants per financial year. “Council welcomes this significant funding and actively seeks all funding avenues to maintain and improve our regional road infrastructure.” According to the State Government, Transport for NSW (formerly RMS) commissioned a review by Deloitte of the Block and REPAIR grant programs back in 2019. The commissioned report was prepared for internal use by Transport for NSW, not for the Minister or his office, with the recommendations and commentary within the report the views of the consultant.

TRUCKS

Twenty trucks minus one By JOHN RYAN SCOTT Barton loves going to work each day and he’s the epitome of not letting life’s dramas get in the way. He’s a sales consultant for Inland Truck Centre which sells Kenworth and DAFs and while a relative newcomer, he’s just sold a fleet of 19 brand new Kenworths, complete with tipping bodies and dog trailer tippers which were made in Goulburn by a family business. “Kenworth’s a great brand, they’ve been making trucks in Australia for 50 years this month, actually, the first truck rolled off the assembly line 50 years ago and in this area in particular, Kenworth is the number one brand of choice and it’s easy to see why, they’re just really well built,” Mr Barton told Dubbo Photo News. Up until last years he was managing used car sales at the local Holden dealership when General Motors deserted Australia, crippling the dealership network and throwing him out of a job. “I spent seven years with Golden West Holden but when I was growing up dad had trucks in Gatton near Toowoomba and we

used to run between Brisbane and Toowoomba carrying produce down and general freight back up, I drove for him for four years and then got into selling cars and when Holden closed down this opportunity came up and it was the

perfect fit,” he said. “Getting out talking to people, it’s not a job like selling cars where you sit in the office waiting for people to come in, you actually jump in the car and go out and say G’day, have a chat to people, not

trying to sell anything, just talking to them,” adding his years as a truckie have proven to be a great help. “I think it helps to understand what truck drivers go through every day, what their problems

may be, every truck’s a tool of trade and if you can understand what they’re problems are you can help solves those problems.” Mr Barton said when Golden West Holden closed it was devastating on so many levels for so many people, but he says Dubbo has such a strong economy that in the job sector, when one door closes another one quickly opens “I did have a few opportunities and this one just seemed to be the best fit for me. I go home every night and tell the wife I love this job, every day there’s something new, you’re learning something new every day, it’s been four months here now and I’m still learning, and I don’t think that will stop anytime soon,” he said. Dubbo is a massive transport hub and Mr Barton said the industry is of vital importance for the city, creating so much economic activity and jobs. ”Dubbo is truly a hub not just for NSW but for Australia, there’s a lot of businesses dependent on the transport industry, people who service the trucks, who drive trucks and the spare parts and that’s without country the daily work all these trucks do delivering goods to and from Dubbo and the people driving working trucks in the city itself.”

STONE WALLER

Keeping an ancient craft alive By NATALIE LEWIS AS one of only a handful of qualified dry stone wallers in Australia, Emma Knowles has established a training centre near Wellington to ensure the continuation of this ancient craft. Employed for thousands of years, the building technique uses gravity and friction to hold walls together instead of mortar. Many of the world’s most celebrated buildings were constructed using this method including the Skara Brae Neolithic village in the Orkneys, Pyramids in Egypt, the Incan temples of Peru and the fish traps at Brewarrina. Ms Knowles’ shift into the industry was more by chance than design and came after someone enquired about her Yorkshire heritage. “I emigrated to Australia in 2009 and had a successful career managing mental health services in Sydney and Melbourne,” she explained. “After a time, I needed a change so I left my job, ditched my suit and headed for the country in

search of practical outdoor work. “On account of my accent, one employer asked if I knew how to build dry stone walls. I couldn’t, but a few months later on a trip to the UK, I attended several courses and commenced a lifelong journey into the world of dry stone.” Saying it was a profession that chose her rather than the other way around, Ms Knowles took the opportunity to learn from expert craftsmen, immersing herself in the traditions of the ancient artform. The rest is history and she has expertly built stone walls across Australia and Europe in both urban and rural settings that will stand the test of time much like those in her native England. Ms Knowles says her field is a continuous apprenticeship with every stone, every project, teaching something new. Just two years after becoming a qualified dry stone waller, Ms Knowles was lucky enough to gain an International Specialised Skills Fellowship, which allowed her to undertake significant training and research. “During this time, I became one

of only six female advanced dry stone wallers in the world, and the only one of any gender in the Southern Hemisphere. “The fellowship also allowed me to work in collaboration with the UK Dry Stone Walls Association to implement the trades training and accreditation scheme here in Australia.” She has since established Stone of Arc in the foothills of Mt Arthur, the only professionally recognised training facility in the Southern Hemisphere to incorporate all the elements required to teach the craft to all skill levels. Ms Knowles receives a lot of feedback from people regarding her craft, particularly women who realise it’s something they could pursue as a career. “It’s a constant source of interest and engagement. Whenever I’m building or speaking about what I do – there’s often a great deal of interest from people wanting to know more. Women seem particularly interested. Perhaps seeing another woman doing this type of work sends the message that it’s something they could do too.”

While there is always an element of danger when working with tools and heavy materials outdoors, there are many tips and precautions that can be taken to eliminate risks and manage the movement of heavier materials. There are four levels within the

dry wall Craftsman certification scheme; Level 2 or above is needed to be considered professional. The next introductory stone walling course will be held at Stone of Arc on April 17 and 18, coinciding with the Wellington Art Trail 2021.

Lesson in learning By NATALIE LEWIS MANDI Randell was in just her second week of teaching in New York City when the 9/11 attacks occurred. Her role at Robert A Van Wyck Middle School 217 in Queens changed dramatically that day, but it also laid a solid foundation for her future career in education. During that chaotic period, the school community had to source essentials such as food, underwear and towels. “A lot of the children’s parents were in the towers,” Ms Randell explained. “We stayed in the school for days. “Up to 98 per cent of the kids in that school were below the poverty line.” While there were children

from many different ethnic backgrounds, the importance of the community as a whole came through during that time. “Community resilience is just amazing and understanding the importance of that partnership shows that we can survive through thick and thin.” Originally from rural Iowa, where ‘family and community were massive’, Ms Randell attained an undergraduate degree in English and Drama. “My mum was a teacher,” she said. “But when I was a kid I wanted to work in the theatre.” Ms Randell did go on to work in theatre production in New York for a couple of years before she made the transition into teaching through the graduate program Teach for America. Here she gained two Master’s

degrees (Master of Science in Secondary Education and Master of Arts in English). In 2005, Ms Randell emigrated to Australia and worked for Links to Learning, a DET program for at risk high schoolers and The American International School. She worked at inner Sydney’s Newington College for nine years before moving to Dubbo. Ms Randell is now principal of the Central West Leadership Academy, where she wears many hats as educational leader and business manager, staff support and coach and cheerleader for parents and students. “School doesn’t have to be something you suffer through. Everyone comes from a different context,” she said. Quite often, the challenge is

to remove self-doubt and replace it with self-esteem. “I’m coaching kids in the things they need to be successful. Kids need to value themselves and not to worry not to know it all. No-one knows everything. Just look at the things that need to be overcome. “The kids aren’t all academic achievers – they have different abilities in art, music and as community leaders. It’s a mixed environment, building on every child’s capability.” According to Ms Randell, the most important thing is to remember that everyone is different, in learning style and education. “People can be quite resistant to change but if you put in the work, you’ll get there.”

Principal Mandi Randell loves her work and says the most important thing to remember is that everyone is different in their learning style. PHOTO: DPN/KEN SMITH

ONE hundred and forty years ago this month a bouncing baby girl named Kathleen Beahan was born in Dubbo. By the time she died, 82 years later she was knowns as the notorious Queen of the Underworld. March 10 is the auspicious occasion when the Kathleen’s life began. Known by numerous aliases in her life, the gangster, brothel madam, alcohol and cocaine trafficker was best known as Kate Leigh. “From what I have found, aside from her early childhood in Dubbo, Kate lived her whole life in Sydney, where she had a thriving criminal career in the 1920s and 1930s. She died in Sydney on February, 1964,” Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) local studies officer Simone Taylor told Dubbo Photo News. Ms Taylor was instrumental in introducing the Dubbo Heritage Trail in 2015, which features the notorious Kate Leigh. “While I can’t state that she absolutely never returned to Dubbo, the evidence indicates that she did not return as she claimed she would in 1933, and there is no other evidence that she returned during her later

life or ever undertook any criminal activities here in Dubbo,” Ms Taylor said. “As to how the story of her returning to Dubbo originated, I am not sure. It is repeated in the Devil’s Hollows descriptions of their local beers, so it is still common knowledge.” A mug shot photographed in April of 2015, shows 34-yearold Kate after committing her first major crime. DRC cultural development coordinator Jessica Moore shares the story. “Her first major crime was to be part of a payroll heist with two men at Redfern in 1914. It was a significant crime as it was the first recorded use of a ‘getaway car’ in Australia – she ended up serving five years for this. “When she was back on the streets, 6 o’clock closing had created one of the all-time great business opportunities, sly grog. Between 1919 and approximately 1945, Kate was the main sly grog provider to Sydney’s thirsty drinkers, running her booze empire out of her home in Surry Hills – she soon diversified into illegal gambling, prostitution and cocaine. “With her income protected by her own combative na-

ture and a team of bashers and gunmen, Kate was one of the wealthiest, and most flamboyant, Sydneysiders. Greedy, funny when she felt like it and vicious when she needed to be, Kate was larger than life. “Aside from running the groggeries, she was a standover merchant, a dealer in drugs (for a while she was known as ‘the Snow Queen’) and a fence for stolen property. By the mid ‘20s, the newspapers would be calling her the ‘Most Evil Woman in Sydney’,” Ms Moore said. It’s unknown why she turned to crime, but Ms Moore suggests it was a matter of survival. “Her first ‘conviction’ in 1897 was as a 10-year-old for “being a neglected child wandering the streets” – so I can’t imagine that this indicates a stable home life. From there, she was sent to Parramatta Industrial School (thus away from any family she did have) which was akin to Juvenile prison. “She then has convictions in Sydney aged 13 and 14 – so

clearly she was fending for herself by then. By 26 she seems to own or be managing a brothel and I think at this time, if you are a woman who has criminal convictions it is impossible to re-enter ‘normal’ society – so she would need to find ways to establish her own power. “What makes Kate’s story so remarkable is how powerful she becomes, how she enters a very male dominated world and is able to rise to the top of it! She must have commanded great respect and been very savvy to see the opportunities open to her in this world, but also very strong to be able to be as ruthless as she had to be,” Ms Moore said. Kate Leigh gets a mention in the Dubbo Regional Council’s podcast Prohibition, which looks at the lives of people like Kate Leigh during the 6 o’clock lockout period. You can find the podcast on Council’s website, as well as by searching for ‘prohibition’ anywhere you get your podcast.

TAURUS: You’ll need to make a few compromises to reach a suitable agreement with certain people. You’ll get justice and settle a conflict before it escalates further. GEMINI: There’s a lot of work ahead. The competition will know how to win you over by offering a more interesting position. You risk being tormented by questions about how to maintain your integrity. CANCER: You’ll attract a lot of attention after you successfully diffuse a situation by making people laugh at your antics. You can also expect some warm applause. LEO: You’ll have plenty to do at home or with your family.

Fortunately, your loved ones will see your balancing act as heroic. You’ll demonstrate your ability to be responsible by establishing your priorities. VIRGO: You’ll know just what to say to stand out from the crowd and make your point. You may spend the week driving people around so you can show off a new car.

FINANCE INDUSTRY

Toolkit to help towns cash in on interest

Loans not one-size ﬁts all

SMALL business in Dubbo and across the region will be listening carefully for the outcome of a call for banks to differentiate between business and consumers when considering loan applications. The Australian Small Business and Family Enterprise Ombudsman Bruce Billson echoed the plea from the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) and said further scrutiny of the access to finance available for small businesses is welcome. “Finance is the oxygen of enterprise,” Mr Billson said, adding that accessing finance has long been a challenge that has been exacerbated by the pandemic. Banks are being urged to take a different approach to small business borrowers, given that even under the existing Responsible Lending Laws, banks don’t have to apply the same serviceability requirements to small businesses as for households.

SAGITTARIUS: If you let yourself become fatigued, you’ll be more vulnerable to germs. Don’t forget to make time for rest when you have several demanding projects on the go. CAPRICORN: You’ll be surrounded by confused people, and you’ll occasionally need to take some alone time. You’ll also be inspired to explore a new form of spirituality with others who are close to you. AQUARIUS: Time is in short supply for many people and this week, you’re no exception. You’ll need to work extra hard at your job to get everything done on time. PISCES: Either with your partner or your friends, you’ll start to plan a trip abroad or somewhere local. You’ll also make changes at home, even if it’s just moving furniture around. The luckiest signs this week: Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces.

DUBBO and other towns around the region that are keen to cash in on the new-found interest in regional Australia will now have access to a new resource to help them build their communities. The Liveability Toolkit, launched last week in Canberra by Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, who is also the minister responsible for regional communities, is a comprehensive, step-by-step practical guide for regional leaders looking to grow populations. He says it’s a “timely and valuable resource” that provides strategies to help promote and position our region and others to capitalise on the new-found interest being shown by city folk. The toolkit helps regional towns and cities identify their greatest liveability assets, and how to shape these to target the kinds of new residents most needed.

Mark COULTON MP FEDERAL MEMBER FOR PARKES

NEW APPRENTICE AND TRAINEE JOBS FOR LOCALS The Federal Government is extending the successful Boosting Apprenticeship Commencements wage subsidy, which has already supported 100,000 new apprenticeships in only five months. Businesses like WesTrac Dubbo understand the importance of training skilled workers and are more likely to employ additional apprentices because of the Federal Government’s wage subsidy. In the Parkes electorate, there have been more than 600 apprentices signed up to the subsidy and supporting our local businesses.

FUNDRAISING

HEADSPACE HEAD SHAVE FOR $$$ By KEN SMITH A HEADSHAVE for youth mental health has been a resounding success. Despite the rain, those hardy souls got their noggins shaved under the roof of the Church Street Rotunda and raised $1850 from bids, thanks to the auctioneering prowess of Raine and Horne’s Brently Goodwin. A further $5200 was raised between the gofundme page and off-line donations. Dubbo Landscape Centre’s Behn Monley bid $750 for Headspace Dubbo community and youth engagement coordinator Amy Mines’ shave. Dubbo deputy mayor Stephen Lawrence had his hair lopped off before heading off straight to the Dubbo Regional Council’s ordinary March meeting.

MOUSE PLAGUE

Submissions regarding new Bunnings close: 1 for, 57 against

Free workshops to tackle rampant rodents

By LYDIA PEDRANA OPPOSITION to a development application (DA) for a new $30 million Bunnings Warehouse at the former Dubbo RAAF Stores Base site is gaining momentum with a change.org petition against the project attracting 428 signatures in the four weeks it was live. Along with the digital petition, Dubbo Regional Council confirmed that 57 submissions and a hard-copy written petition objecting to the proposal were received during the feedback period which closed at 5pm, Friday, March 12. There was one submission received in support of the DA. Those against the proposed new facility, which would be 17,500 square metres, or one and a half times bigger than the existing store, cite safety, noise and traffic concerns for the South Dubbo area. Palmer Street resident and creator of the change.org petition, John Gibson, labelled the project

as being “totally out of character” for the neighbourhood. “The proposed development will create significant safety issues for residents, businesses, including childcare and schools in the immediate vicinity,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “There will be a 500-car carpark immediately off Palmer Street, with entry and exit via Palmer Street. “There will also be heavy vehicle movements along Palmer Street from 7am to 10pm every day and the only exit for trucks delivering goods will be via Palmer Street. “This huge increase in traffic threatens the safety of pedestrians, including children, and other local road users. “The associated noise will destroy the amenity of the area for local residents.” Mr Gibson has also accused the developers of attempting to use a heritage conservation clause in their Local Environment Plan

to gain approval for a building which otherwise would not be allowed to be constructed on R1 (general residential) zoned land. “The original master plan for the RAAF depot redevelopment was largely residential,” he said. “This proposal will take most of the residential zone and will pave the way for the developer to create a big box retail complex, in a totally inappropriate location.” Dubbo Photo News has also received phone calls and letters to the editor against the project. In a letter printed in the March 11 edition of the publication, Michael and Lenette Allen claimed the desires of developers were being prioritised over the best scenario for local people. As well as listing similar safety, noise and traffic concerns to Mr Gibson, Mr and Mrs Allen questioned, “would you like it (Bunnings) plonked in your street? Would your children be able to ride their bikes, with all this extra traffic? Would your elderly neigh-

bour feel too anxious to drive to the shop with traffic and trucks whizzing past? Would the community aspect of life in a quiet rural city street be lost and deter people from seeking residency in Dubbo?” Given the RAAF Base is a heritage listed site, DRC director of development and environment, Stephen Wallace said submissions will now be provided to Heritage NSW for consideration. “Heritage NSW will provide a response to Council within 21 days to indicate whether they support or do not support the application,” Mr Wallace explained. “The DA, which includes Heritage NSW’s response, will be presented in a report at a Council meeting thereafter.” Project developer Andorra Developments managing director Mark Stanford told Dubbo Photo News he would not comment until the appropriate time as the submissions are still being processed.

A SERIES of workshops aimed at imparting information on mouse control is rolling across the region in coming weeks, with farmers and householders urged to take advantage of expert advice as to how to better control the rampant rodents. Presented by Steve Henry, who is senior researcher with CSIRO Health and Biodiversity, the workshops will cover aspects of the plague including health implications, and understanding how many mice are present in stubble. There will also be advice on strategies to reduce numbers of mice leading up to sowing and protecting the crop as it’s sown. The workshop will also provide information on bait spreading. Hosted by Coonamble-Castlereagh Landcare, the workshops are FREE but registrations are essential for catering and Covid-19 compliance. The workshops will run in Coonamble on March 30 at 5pm at the Golf Club, March 31 in Burren Junction at 11am at Delta Ag then again at Walgett at 3pm at the Sports Club, followed by Baradine on April 1 at 7.30am at Camp Cypress and later that day at 10.30 at the Tooraweenah pub.

Surf’s Up in Dubbo

Flood halts firie awards

IF people want to know why online reporting can’t always be trusted, check out this photo post from one of the weather channels. It was sent to me with a forecast for Dubbo’s Tuesday weather. Now, all us locals know it was a pretty wet day but apparently the algorithm or work experience kid at whatever brand of weather channel felt like going one step further. “Severe weather warning for damaging surf,” the post hyped. I’ve also been told that the same ‘channel’ was warning of high tides in Mudgee. This cut-price, zero-expectation-for-quality is going to hell in a handbasket, but at least we won’t have to worry about treacherous surfing conditions in Dubbo for a wee while yet.

Idiotic floodwater fools SPEAKING of waxheads in the waves, how many times do emergency services have to warn people against driving into floodwaters? No matter how often the call goes out, it doesn’t seem to deter a special brand of idiot from taking risks that not only endanger their lives and the lives of anyone foolish enough to be travelling with them, but it could also potentially risk the lives of the people who then have to save them. To add insult to injury, we then see social media at its worst, with fundraising pages being set up for people who wouldn’t need help if they hadn’t done something so stupid in the first place. Luckily Dubbo has been spared the worst of things, so far at any rate, but there is plenty of potential for local creeks and intermittent waterways to rise fairly quickly and without much warning, so please err on the side of caution. There are plenty of images on the national news at the moment

showing just how dangerous it is to drive into these floods, where you can’t see how deep it is and the water can be fast-flowing. But even in our region there are going to be plenty of swollen creeks so, no matter how tempting, please don’t drive through them. That few minutes you think you may save could cost you your life.

Wanted man charged POLICE have charged a 36-yearold man with seven outstanding warrants following an investigation into a crime spree in Bourke. Strike Force Fairleigh was established to investigate various property and traffic-related offences in the town and on March 21 officers arrested a man wanted on outstanding warrants at a Cooinda Crescent home in Dubbo. The 36-year-old was taken to Dubbo Police Station and charged with the seven outstanding warrants and police will allege in court that the warrants relate to assault, firearm, traffic, weapon

and property related offences. He was also issued two Future Court Attendance Notices for police pursuit – not stop – drive dangerously, destroy or damage property (DV), stalk/intimidate intend fear physical harm (domestic), contravene prohibition/restriction in AVO (domestic). The alleged offences occurred in the Bourke township and surrounds between November 2020 and March 2021. The man was refused bail and appeared before Dubbo Local Court where he was formally refused bail to appear before Bourke Local Court on May 20.

Domestic Violence front of house DOMESTIC Violence (DV) and sexual assault in the workplace have been at the fore in recent weeks. Domestic Violence Prevention Centre (DVPC) member Jennie Phillips said there’s currently a strong focus on the impacts of coercive control in the media and a

parliamentary inquiry has commenced considering options to address the issues, including criminalising the behaviour. “Domestic and family violence can involve behaviour that makes you feel scared, involve threats to you, your children or pets, and denies your choice. It is an ongoing repeated pattern of behaviour to control you. It is not always physical,” she told Dubbo Photo News. Behaviour can include psychological or emotional violence, sexual violence, financial abuse, physical violence, spiritual violence, social abuse, technology facilitated or image-based abuse, legal abuse, reproductive violence, neglect, stalking or intimidation or patterns of abusive behaviour that aims to scare or control you (causes you fear, stops you from living as you want, forces you to behave in ways you don’t want).” DVPC chairperson Angela Coker said the organisation’s members have been contacting various Dubbo businesses and requesting they display the Service’s poster. “So, community members at risk can readily access information to seek assistance,” she said. “Many businesses were supportive of the initiative and wanted to help their customers and the community address this social issue.” OurWatch.org.au advises that on average one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner. One in three Australian women has experienced physical violence since the age of 15. Almost 10 women a day are hospitalised for assault injuries perpetrated by a spouse or domestic partner. Anyone needing assistance can call the National Sexual Assault

THERE was going to be a great good news story in Dubbo this week, but it’s been indefinitely postponed because of the state’s flood emergency. Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW) Deputy Commissioner Jeremy Fewtrell, who used to work out of Dubbo 280 Fire Station, was scheduled to be in town to formally recognise the efforts of firefighters from Dubbo and Delroy fire stations who attended that devastating multi-vehicle crash on the Newell Highway back in 2018. The massive effort tackling the flood crisis from FRNSW, along with all other emergency services, means these sorts of events need to take a back seat at the moment. Eleven firefighters from Fire and Rescue NSW, along with personnel from NSW Ambulance, the Volunteer Rescue Association and NSW Police Force, worked to save a number of people who were trapped in their vehicles after a semi-trailer collided with a line of vehicles stopped at a roadworks site at Brocklehurst. Tragically, two people were killed as a result of the accident.

Brick through window I CAN really feel for Lara Burton – she’s had a rough trot at her South Dubbo home with a 4.30am calling card – a brick thrown through her bathroom window this week. That comes on top of two attempted break-ins to her home in the past two weeks. “So sick of not being able to feel safe in my own home,” she said. In 2019 I had a similar experience, with my ute parked out the front of my house getting a halfbrick through the driver’s door window, and a couple of week’s later some rocks pelted at the window, instead hitting the door, leaving dents and lost paint in their wake. These sorts of actions are incredibly gutless, and they do leave the victims with a sense of frustration that these cowards can create this sort of disruption to their quality of life. If anyone has any information on these attempted break-ins, or the brick attack, please contact Dubbo police. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

COUNCIL WATCH

Airport accommodation in the wings A COMMERCIAL accommodation facility could be in the wings for Dubbo City Regional Airport (DCRA) as soon as the end of this year, with council seeking expressions of interest (EOI) from providers. An ordinary meeting of Dubbo Regional Council had before it this week a Mayoral Minute from Cr Ben Shields calling for the EOI to begin by June, which was endorsed by his fellow councillors. Speaking to the Minute, Cr Shields said that Cr Shields said prior to the COVID-19 pandemic Dubbo airport had established itself as one of Australia’s most successful regional airports, and that putting the process in place now to explore the establishment of an accommodation facility for the precinct would bode well for the recovery of passenger numbers. The DCRA Master Plan 2019-40 included the exploration of a commercial precinct close to the Mitchell Highway as one of its medium-term goals (approximately three to 10 years).

ENTERTAINMENT

Civil Hands over new album By JOHN RYAN “SKYLINES Fall”, four years in the making, is the new album from Dubbo indie-rockers, Civil Hands and already the hype for the new songs is creating a civil disturbance. The album gets released this Saturday, March 13, and ends a four year journey for the band since the release of their debut album in 2016, “Leave It All Behind”. The band spent years honing their sound on stages around the Central West, Sydney and the Inland Sea of Sound Festival, then took to the studio last year to create “Skylines Fall”, an 11-song collection that represent the band’s sonic evolution.

Civil Hands’ music evokes 90’s alternative via REM, with contemporary indie-pop sounds, whilst the members’ personal influences run the gamut of pop, folk, rock and beyond. Their unique sound is underpinned by the shared male/female lead vocal pairing of husband and wife, Fred and Mandi Randell. Lyric-writer and rhythm guitarist Mr Randell said the band are all music lovers. “We want to create music that moves people – whether that’s emotionally, or to dance,” Mr Randell said. The band decided early on to release the album on vinyl, which provided certain creative consider-

ations for the balance of tracks on each side – both thematically and lengthwise – and the mastering process to provide the sound best suited to the medium. “There’s the ongoing debate on whether albums are a dying breed, but a physical record is a thing of beauty. You can hold it in your hands and appreciate the craft of it,” Mr Randell said. The band is set to appear at Under Western Skies music festival in

Dubbo in March, and the Fringe Festival in May. The album can be purchased on vinyl or digital download via the Civil Hands website, www. civilhands.com.au Civil Hands was founded in late 2014 when Mr Randell returned to his childhood hometown of Dubbo after 18 years spent in the frantic pace of Sydney life. The band launched their debut album, “Leave It All Behind”, at the Old Dubbo Gaol with a music/art/

video experience that included projected moving images from local artists. The familiar, yet altered, surrounds of the town with its harsher seasons, the stark summers landscapes and the bitter winter frosts, gave birth to a multitude of songs, and Civil Hands was formed. Fred Randell plays rhythm guitar, shares lead vocals with Mandi Randell while Erin Kelly brings the bass, and Brad Purcell rounds out the band on drums.

SPORT

Wheels in motion for community program By NATALIE LEWIS WELLINGTON’S Wiradjuri Wheels program has entered its second semester, giving young people the opportunity to play a range of sports they wouldn’t usually be able to access. Wellington Swim Club member Pip Smith was one of the initial volunteers in the program which is helping disadvantaged kids in the community. “The kids love it,” she said. “They are so excited and it’s getting them into sport. It’s working very well and there are a lot of volunteers involved.” The program commenced in Term 4 last year, with swimming lessons provided by Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) and more competent swimmers encouraged to join Wellington Swim Club. Multisport activities including fitness classes, basketball, futsal, indoor hockey, dance and dodgeball were also provided by PCYC

Wellington and Dubbo Opportunity Hub (DHUB). During Term 1, netball, rugby league, fitness classes and multisport activities are also being offered. The program has become a multi-organisational undertaking,

with the NSW Office of Sport and Transport for NSW coordinating and promoting the program, Wellington Local Aboriginal Lands Council providing the bus service and WINS Community Centre helping families redeem Active Kids vouchers and providing after

school activities. Wellington Public School and St Mary’s Catholic School have also been supportive of the program. Funding for the program has been accessed through Transport Access Regional Partnerships (TARP). “Wiradjuri Wheels is being delivered through a collaboration between a number of government and non-government organisations,” a NSW Office of Sport spokesperson said. “There are approximately 50 children in the program with 30 children participating in swimming lessons. “The major benefit of the program is to provide sport and active recreation opportunities to children who were not engaged in organised sport and recreation programs.” Other benefits include safe transport to and from sports, learning new skills and making friends.

Minister for Regional Transport and Roads Paul Toole said the NSW Government's backing of Wiradjuri Wheels means local youth can be more active and engaged in social activities outside of their schools. "Public transport in the Wellington area is limited and this affects the ability of young people, who have no access to private transport, to attend social, educational, cultural, and sporting activities," Mr Toole said. The bus service ran during the summer school holidays but the majority of activities are conducted during the school term. Moving forward, it is hoped that the program will become self-sufficient enough to be wholly delivered by local community groups. It is also anticipated that some participants will compete in the local netball and rugby league competitions during the upcoming winter season.

PROBUS

Club celebrates fun, fellowship and friends By NATALIE LEWIS MEMBERS of Wellington Probus have celebrated the chapter’s fifth birthday, with many years of fun, fellowship and friendship ahead of them. Aimed at retired or semi-retired businesspeople, the club is all about enjoyment and meeting like-minded individuals. “We do as little as possible as often as possible,” member Brian Munro quipped.

“The hospitality was really great, there was a lot of nostalgia.” Other notable trips have included the Hunter Valley Gardens, Hawkesbury Postal Boat, Floriade and the Rabbit Trap Hotel. Unlike many community groups which have declined in recent years, Probus has thrived.

“We had 24 people at the initial meeting, we have 46 members now and the meetings are very informal,” Mrs Munro said. Guest speakers have included winemaker David Lowe, palaeontologist Mike Augee and Anglican Minister Rev Carl Palmer. Potential members can attend three meetings before signing up.

ENVIRONMENT

A cleaner, greener Wello By EMMALEE HOLMES THE Clean Up Australia Day event in Wellington is an annual event organised by the Wellington Community Progress and Action Group who are a committed group of local volunteers working together to highlight and address the priorities and interests of local residents to make our community a better place to live, work in or visit. As Wellington is located beside the junction of the beautiful Bell and Macquarie Rivers this national annual event is a good opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of keeping rubbish from entering the waterways, maintaining the important riparian zones along the riverbanks and keeping the rivers clean. The Macquarie River

is 70 per cent of our drinking water so it is important to look after this essential natural water source. Rubbish in the rivers breaks down into microplastics which enter the food chain and affects the water and soil quality, as well as the health of important aquatic life, fish, turtles, platypus, and ultimately microplastics are also ingested by us. The group would like to also raise awareness about the importance of related issues such as recycling, phasing out single-use plastics and harmful non- biodegradable materials such as polystyrene, the need for the installation of essential storm-water rubbish traps and keeping our rivers and reserves clean, enjoyable and safe for everyone’s enjoyment and benefit. Thank you to the mem-

bers of Western Paddlers NSW who travelled to Wellington and organised the on-water rubbish collection by a river canoe from the Falls to the Duke of Wellington bridge. Thank you also to the other community groups who supported our land-based event op-

erations – Mid-Macquarie Landcare and Clean Up Australia Day as well as volunteers from the local community. Thank you to Dubbo Regional Council for collecting the rubbish after the event. Within a short time-frame of two hours, an entire

truckload of rubbish was collected from Wellington’s riverside reserves, the rivers and parks including a lounge and multiple shopping trolleys from the riverbanks. We hope this can continue to be an annual or a bi-annual event for Wellington.

MEN’S SHED

Twelfth birthday for local icon By NATALIE LEWIS SPARKS flew when Wellington Men’s Shed was launched 12 years ago and the organisation has continued to be a burst of activity ever since. At the official opening in March 2009, Mayor Anne Jones and Member for Parkes Mark Coulton were both in attendance and founding member Garry Hayes said the occasion quickly became a heated affair. “Mark was using a drop saw to cut some steel to mark the opening. Sparks were flying everywhere and nearly set Anne’s hair on fire!” While it may have quietened significantly since that day, there is still a buzz about the place and the drone of power tools is only surpassed by the hum of men’s voices and the clink of coffee mugs over morning tea. “And they say women can talk,” Mr Hayes quips as plates of mini-muffins and slices of jam roll are passed around. While they don’t allow women as members, it’s being on their own that helps men to truly form a bond. “That’s the importance of this place, there’s respect,” he says. “We have an interesting group of people and we understand each other. We set it up so that it’s a place where members can enjoy themselves for all sorts of reasons.” The shed has grown to a membership of 80 which is testament to its value in the community. Some of them, like the late Bill Turner, didn’t get to see the shed fully established. Part of that original group still attends the shed including Garry, Neil Blake, Bill Redfern and Ken Pocknall. “Ken is 92 and the oldest member and one of the first here in the morning,” Mr Hayes said. He has been welding for 60

years and has just completed his latest metal work project. “I was here on the first day, and I’ve been here ever since,” Mr Pocknall said. The shed also features a carpentry room, commercial kitchen and a vegetable garden, which are all highly utilised by the men. They work on a lot of community projects and provide a wealth of support for the town. “It’s pretty long, the list of stuff we’ve done. “There’s many and varied the things they do. We’ve done something for every community organisation in Wellington,” Mr Hayes said. “It’s included the churches, the rifle club, most of the organisations in town. Some of the more unusual projects have included a trolley for an injured dog, a chicken love house and restoration of an old gramophone. “The lady that owned it, she came back crying that day. She was chuffed. Things like that are pretty special, they mean a lot to the guys.” In the early days, they visited up to 25 other men’s sheds across the Central West and other places of interest. The word camaraderie keeps coming up when members talk about Wellington Men’s Shed and there is a real unity about these guys. “The shed functions because they get on with each other,” Mr Hayes said. “There’s never any harsh words or arguments. “Ask any of them and they’ll say it’s good for their health. We want the men to have healthy lifestyles. Health is very much an aspect because you have something to do. “It’s important for their wellbeing because they contribute to the community, they make it work.” The shed has received ongoing support from Mark Coulton

who officiated all those years ago when he was a brand-new Federal Member. Wellington is no longer in his electorate due to boundary changes but he retained an interest in the group. “He relates to our guys because of his farming background,” Mr Hayes said. “A lot of our guys have farming backgrounds too.” The facility also relies on community contributions for its ongoing upkeep. “It costs about $10,000 to run each year. Fortunately, we own the land. “People make donations, most of them are very generous.” The group also sell their creations through the Made in Wello shop in town. And while COVID-19 has impacted the shed, they are able to continue meeting twice a week to keep activity going strong. “We have a system, we abide by the rules,” Mr Hayes said. He believes there’s a certain type of man that goes to men’s shed. He is also certain that it will continue long into the future. “Some people think it’s only for retired guys but it’s not. “They (the members) are guys that enjoy working, they enjoy each other’s company and giving to the community. “They all do different things and they just hand over to the younger guys. Personally, I’ll just keep going on.” Wellington Men’s Shed was number 246 in Australia in a network that has now exceeded 1000. The Gobolion St headquarters initially met next door to their current location. It now houses two army sheds initially earmarked for Vietnam which were sourced with assistance from Mark Coulton and which they erected themselves.

Birds of a feather: The black and white of a special friendship By JEN COWLEY WHEN I was asked to do this story, I initially thought it would be a fluffy (feathery?) little puff piece about the heart-warming bond between a man and his bird. It is that, but it has also been a lesson in basic ornithology and a revelation about the fascinating little creatures whose song and springtime sorties are so deeply imprinted on the collective Australian psyche. Meet “Bubba” the magpie, and his mate Tony Barlow, who isn’t too sure about the little black and white minstrel’s moniker, which his wife (Tony’s that is) bestowed when the bird first came into their lives as a fluffy little orphan. From his home just outside Narromine, Tony tells me the story of how the magpie came to stay. He believes it may be the offspring of a particularly tame former feathered friend who came and went for years and reappeared late last year apparently with its own family in tow. “I was going to town one day,” Tony recalls, “And just at the ramp was a baby magpie that was very young and had obviously fallen out of its nest. I couldn’t help myself, and brought it home. We nursed it back to health and it’s still with us.” Apparently, the six-month-old fledgling turns up every morning and every night for a feed, which usually consists of soaked dog-biscuits although Tony sheepishly admits he found himself buying mince for the wee one and thought that was just a step too far. Like a child of the ‘60s and ‘70s, young Bubba goes off after breakfast, does who knows what dur-

to me. Magpies – the Wiradjuri word for which is “garru” – are renowned songbirds whose pretty calls are so familiar to Australians. They can have a range of four octaves and can mimic more than 35 other species of birds along with dogs and horses. They’ve even been known to mimic human speech, particularly when living close to people. Bubba isn’t yet having conversations with Tony, but the bird is definitely starting to vocalise. “I don’t think it knows yet that it’s a magpie. It’s a bit frightened of other magpies because whenever they try to approach it, it flies back to me. I think it might think it’s actually human.” It’s easy to do a warm fuzzy story about a magpie when Spring is still a few months away, at which point they tend to become less beloved native bird and more monochrome monster, divebombing with murderous intent. However, Tony says magpies get a bad rap. He might be right because a quick check reveals the per centage of magpies that swoop is “significantly less than nine per cent” although, anyone who has ever braved Dubbo’s Tracker Riley Cycleway and walking tracks might argue that toss. But here’s another fun fact: 99 per cent of all attacking birds are male, and on that score, I ask Tony if he has any advice for thwarting such an assault. “Put your hat on backwards with your sunnies on it,” he offers. “But don’t hold me to that.”

COUNCIL SNAPSHOT WELLINGTON NYE

SMART WATER METERS

MY DRC WATER

ODG HERITAGE PLAZA

Dubbo Regional Council is seeking expressions of interest from the Wellington community about a New Year’s Eve event. There currently isn’t an event held in Wellington to celebrate the New Year, and after a Mayoral Minute was tabled to address this, Council is now seeking EOIs, which close on Wednesday 31 March, 2021. View Council’s website for more information

Installation of smart water meters has begun in Zone 4, which covers west Dubbo. Crews will notify residents that their water will temporarily be cut off while the installation occurs. If the resident isn’t home at the time of the installation, a calling card will be left in their mailbox to notify the resident that the installation has been completed.

Residents who have had their Smart Water Meters installed can now set up their My DRC Water account. Access to a My DRC Water account allows residents to see their water usage, and detect whether there may be a leak at their property, saving them money and water in the long run.

Residents have until 31 March to have their say on the concept designs for the proposed Heritage Plaza at the front of the Old Dubbo Gaol. The concept plans are currently on public exhibition, and the public is invited to provide feedback about the designs.

Closure of 9 News Central West another blow to regional media The Editor, I was saddened to hear this month that 9 News Central West is among Nine’s regional newsrooms which will close at the end of June. This is just another blow to regional media and extremely disappointing not only for the staff who will lose their jobs, and their families, but for the whole region which relies on 9 News Central West to keep upto-date with what’s happening in the

community. Although local media outlets have suffered over recent years, they still play a vital role in the communities they serve, ensuring people in the bush have access to the news and information that’s important to them. The Federal Government is committed to supporting regional media and keeping local news alive. Mark Coulton, Federal Member for Parkes

LEGAL and political reviews are underway at the moment in both the Federal parliament in Canberra and the NSW parliament in Sydney. These reviews are as a result of a sexual assault allegation made in respect of an alleged offence which occurred in March 2019 in Parliament House Canberra. Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet deputy secretary Stephanie Foster will review processes for workplace complaints at Parliament House Canberra. And former sex discrimination commissioner Pru Goward on behalf of the NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is reviewing how allegations of sexual assault, bullying and harassment involving ministerial staff are handled at Sydney Parliament House. It is surprising that the reviews into workplace complaints are necessary at all. Either the current processes in place are absent or deficient or the persons handling the complaints aren’t doing their job properly. Most, if not all, large organisations and government departments already have respectful workplace policies. It would be somewhat amazing in this day and age if Parliaments didn’t have such policies as well. Similarly, those same organisations and departments have clear and robust policies for managing complaints involving basic commitments such as: z Respectful treatment. z Information and accessibility. z Good communication. z Taking ownership. z Timeliness.

z Transparency. If the Parliaments don’t have similar policies in 2021, why not? If they do, why is there such concern that they aren’t working and warrant immediate reviews? Organisations and departments also generally have an employee assistance program with a team of psychologists and counsellors available to provide confidential counselling and support. Part of this process also includes referral to external agencies with specialist helpline services. The review in Canberra is reactive whilst the one in Sydney is proactive. In situations of workplace bullying, harassment and in particular sexual or indecent assault, the emphasis should always be on supporting the victim emotionally and psychologically. The victim should be assigned a suitable support person acceptable to the victim and the complaint, once made, should be handled through to conclusion without outside considerations interfering with the process. Best practice guiding principles include achieving an early resolution if possible, escalating to an internal review if sought or required and referral to an external organization or agency if warranted. So, process-wise, what happened in the Canberra Parliament House incident? It appears numerous people knew of the alleged sexual assault. It has been reported that staffers from both the Prime Minister’s Office and the Defence Minister’s office, where the alleged assault took place, knew of the incident. Who then activated the reporting process? Who was responsible for the incident oversight?

Never say die: Why we need to talk about end-of-life plans Jen Cowley ❚ OPINION A GOOD death: can there be such a thing? Anyone who has ever watched helplessly while a loved one dies a “bad” death will know the answer to that question is an unequivocal “yes”. What makes a good death? The jury is still out, given the end-oflife journey is the ultimate personal voyage and doesn’t come with a manual or a guide of how-to dot points. But it’s safe to venture that for most people, a “good” death is as pain-free and gentle as possible. To die without, or with minimal, distress or suffering, in the company of family and carers and in harmony with one’s wishes and cultural considerations is what we hope for in a physical world where death is life’s only certainty. That’s where palliative care and

advanced care plans come in. As society moves towards a greater understanding and more open and honest discussion of death and dying, a groundswell of support for the provision of palliative care services – both formal and informal – is welcome if not well overdue, as is the recognition of the importance of advance care plans. A common theme that runs through discussions about end-oflife and advance care plans is the need to continue to openly and honestly discuss death and dying in order that we can best build a more compassionate and accommodating network of support for individuals coming to the end of their lives, and their families. It doesn’t help that there is a persistent default to using euphemisms to address what we believe, mistakenly it could be argued, is a subject about which people are loathe to talk openly. The use of terms such as the omnipresent “passed away/on” are at best unhelpful, at worst destructive.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

Using euphemisms is almost always a well-intentioned attempt to lessen the impact of or in some way protect ourselves and others from the often brutal and always final reality of death and dying, but there is an increasing body of evidence suggesting that while ever service providers, the media, and those working in the “death system” remain squeamish about open discussion and the words “die, dead, death and dying”, the road to individual choice in end-oflife decisions remains rocky. On a personal note, I’ve been both cursed and blessed with a variety of experiences – unfortunate to have witnessed long “bad” deaths, and privileged to have been there at the final stages of a “good” death. On reflection, it was thanks to an advance care plan, and the discussion of and preparation for death that made those “good” deaths gentler. Fortunately, I’d had that discussion with my mother. We’d often spoken about her end of life wish-

Did the victim receive adequate and sustained support once the incident was reported? It seems, from all reports, no. This is where it could be viewed as the legal responsibilities of the proper handling of a serious workplace incident clashing with what has been called the political “depraved Canberra bubble”. Do political consequences interfere with or, worse still, halt the proper handling of complaints or workplace criminal offences? The responsibility for any culture emanating from a workplace rests with the people in charge. Strict adherence to the following of any complaints’ procedure should be mandatory and essential if victims are not to feel dissuaded from seeking redress and seeing the process through to a conclusion without fear of repercussions for their job or career. And, on a broader but related issue, is politics generally becoming more brutal, abusive and more dangerous than ever before? Last week Nicolle Flint the Liberal MP for the South Australian federal seat of Boothby announced she had been hounded out of politics by such groups as Get Up and Extinction Rebellion. Locally such similar behaviour has been exhibited over the past few years from interest groups and emerging political parties, candidates and their supporters. Why would anyone go into politics in this distastefully developing climate? However, if they do, they must feel protected and safe in their workplace including their physical, emotional and mental health well-being. z Peter Bartley lives and works in Dubbo and is a local solicitor and political analyst

This week marks National Advance Care Planning Week, and that means we all need to talk, says JEN COWLEY, who is vice president of the National Association for Loss and Grief (NALAG).

es, and when the time came, she died in the care of considerate and informed professionals who made her death as comfortable and dignified as could be. They talked to me openly and honestly about the what, when and how of what to expect, answering my questions and allowing me the honour of spending those precious last days and moments alone with my mother, unhindered by process or procedure, rule or regulation. To quietly hold the hand of the woman who brought me into the world as she in turn left it. Once that final breath had left her body, they treated her with the same kind of dignity and respect with which they had cared for her while her heart was still beating. And from there, the next steps were made infinitely easier for us having established exactly what she wanted for her final hurrah. It meant we could grieve without the distress of second guessing ourselves. Universe willing and circumstances permitting, this is the kind

of death I wish for those I love and care about, and for myself, when the time comes. That kind of death is made so much more possible and palatable if we’ve actually talked to our loved ones about their wishes, and not only considered an advance care plan, but shared and communicated it, preferably in written form. Life has a way of ruining one’s best laid plans, and a tender end is not always on offer. Neither is it always possible to predict when that end might be, but a little open, honest discussion and a bit of planning goes a long way. And if we are to genuinely be the compassionate society we like to think we are, or are at least working towards, then equitable and flexible access to well-resourced palliative care services must surely be a priority. z This article, slightly amended from the original, is reproduced with permission of the National Association for Loss and Grief (NALAG).



Thumbs Down to Dugald Saunders for continuing to say the River Street Bridge is part of council’s long term strategy. It most deﬁnitely is not as so many councillors keep saying – Dugald’s talking about the former council where the state-appointed administrator did exactly what the state government told him to do. Stop it Dugald, it’s just not true and you know it.

Thumbs Up to Narromine from the crew at Dubbo Photo News – every time we travel out to the town we’re made to feel so welcome – and the food is great, along with the customer service plus we spend up at all the shops, there are so many goodies. We have a great time when we visit out there.



Thumbs Down to Anyone but Nats, an organisation that is as idiotic as the ﬂawed River Street Bridge project. With their personal social media attacks on the wife and daughter of member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders, they not only crossed the line, they crushed the headlines from the River Street Bridge debate that was happening in the NSW Parliament last week. Absolute fools, shooting themselves in all three of their feet and massively disadvantaging Dubbo residents.



Thumbs Up to Bianca for her random act of kindness

at the Delroy takeaway, for paying for my lunch. It was so special and meant so much to me especially today as it is the second anniversary of my husband’s passing.



Thumbs Up to all the teenagers who spend their weekend working at fast food outlets, retail outlets etc. There are so many and I feel that they need to be recognized for the great job they are doing. This is our future generation and they are starting off well. Also a Thumbs Up to all the parents who drive to their children to work and make it possible.



Thumbs Down to those people who leave noxious weeds scattered on the street after they’ve done the mowing – these end up getting washed down the drain and the seeds scatter throughout the river system, causing long term problems.



Thumbs Up to the staff at the newly refurnished Grand Hotel in Wellington, thank you for not only your friendly service but the fantastic food you serve. I have taken friends there to experience it for themselves and they were not disappointed.

Garden open day to help Warren By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY HELPING a neighbour during hard times is a no brainer in Australia, so when the Warren Museum and Art Gallery committee gives a coo-ee to Dubbo residents that they need a hand, it’s a good reason to save the date: Sunday, April 11. Badly effected by dry times during the recent drought, the town was fortunate enough to receive $3.5 million from the federal government’s Building Better Regions Fund (BBRF) to transform the architecturally significant Collier building into a museum, art gallery and artist-in-residence space. “Statistics show that museums bring great economic benefit to communities by attracting cultural tourists, so we are keen to raise money towards the ongoing running of the facility,” Museum chairperson Dr John Burke said. The need to hold a fund-

raiser in April is because the significant grant cannot be used to pay for essentials like development applications, a construction certificate, furniture or fittings, or ongoing operation costs. So, an open garden fundraiser is planned, and every-

one’s invited. Held on Sunday, April 11, visitors can start their nine-garden tour at the Window On The Wetlands (WOW) Centre by registering and picking up a map. The tour costs $30 with morning tea included or $40

with both morning tea and a light lunch included. There are no pre-registrations, simply turn up at the WOW Centre on the day. For enquiries contact John Burke on mobile 0427 519 295 or via email: jmburke@ hwy.com.au.

Thumbs Down to the condition of local roads, particularly the condition of River Street after water pipes were laid, unreal.



Thumbs Up for all the volunteers and staff from all emergency agencies from across NSW who are helping those people who’ve been devastated by the current ﬂoods, and;



Thumbs Down to the people in power who allow so many homes and businesses to be built in areas that they know are going to periodically ﬂood.



Thumbs Down to whoever authorised the beautiful old River Redgum trees to be sneakily cut down near the site where the NSW government is trying to build the River Street Bridge, it’s environmental vandalism in a city that needs more trees, not less of them.

THERE’S no doubt about the team at Dubbo’s Kintyre Lodge – they know how to have a bit of fun, even if it’s for a very serious cause. They contacted us to say how much everyone enjoyed a recent fundraiser, organised by the recreational activities officer, which saw both staff and residents lining up to have their hair coloured as part of the

World’s Greatest Shave. The renowned charity event is staged every March in support of research into leukemia, or as organisers say, to ‘shave’ the world from blood cancer. Along with their crazy hair hues, a hearty $780 was raised through donations for the very good cause, which is close to many a heart. PHOTOS: CONTRIBUTED

MEET THE BOSS

Felicity Roberts Company: Narromine Pharmacy Position: Owner I got involved in business... from a young age as both my parents had their own businesses. Our business is known for... our friendly helpful staff and going above and beyond. Our bestselling product is... our new range of low tox health and beauty products. My role in the business is... both as a clinical pharmacist and a small business owner/ operator. That is, jack of all trades! According to my staff, working for me is... a privilege. I spend my down time... at home on our farm with our three lively kids. I also like to meditate regularly. In my opinion the biggest issue facing small businesses is... people not shopping locally. If a business isn’t supported well and

isn’t viable it can’t give back to the local community and essentially you have to shut the door which leaves small communities without services like a pharmacy, a newsagent, a butcher and a baker to name a few. What three famous people, dead or alive would you invite to dinner? The random combination of Dr Libby Weaver, Freddy Mercury and Roger Federer. I’m most proud of... my personal and professional growth over the last 12 months When you were a child what did you want to do when you grew up? Be the pianist on Play School. The best piece of career advice I can offer is... to do something you love, are good at and can get paid for and then work/life balance simply becomes “life”. And if I wasn’t in my current role, I’d... do something in the music industry.

Black Dog bikes By JOHN RYAN DESPITE uncertainty over COVID-19’s ever-changing social distancing regulations, organisers of this year’s Dubbo Black Dog One-Dayer ride reckon it went off with nary a hitch. And it wasn’t just the global pandemic that was a worry – after years of dry times the 2021 skies have opened with a vengeance, the riders this year ducking in between raindrops, or storms, most remaining relatively dry. For years Wayne Amor has been one of the motivating forces be-

hind the ride and he said the massive turnout was well appreciated by the community. “Thanks to everyone that came along either to ride, as a spectator or volunteer,” Mr Amor said. “We purposely didn’t do any fundraising this year, including requesting prize donations and sponsorship from businesses due to what has happened in the last 12 months or so. “With that said, we were still able to raise $575 for the day, with almost $500 being donated by the Macquarie Inn from the brekky sales. Thanks guys.”

Brides & Bubbly Photos by KEN SMITH In a year when plenty of postponed weddings are going ahead some local small businesses teamed up to collaborate in a bid to showcase their wares to prospective brides-to-be.

Less than two months ago Katelyn Wilson set up Rural Teepee, deciding there was a market for hiring out Bell Tents to receptions, hens’ nights, baby showers and similar events for people who want something stylish and different

for their special occasion. “One lady even inquired about using one for glamping,” she told Dubbo Photo News. The event at Press saw a number of local businesses join in. “My friend Jaz Dennis opened Outback Bride recently and wanted to bring two lines of bridal dresses to town so we thought we’d collaborate and get some other local businesses on board.”

The Bridal Show at Press on Saturday evening saw more than 50 people in attendance, where 40 designer dresses ranging from size 10-26 were paraded. Other local small businesses were Bella Luxe Picnics and The Woven Sailor. “If lots of small businesses work in together, it means the load doesn’t fall to any one person and you get to have a lot of fun,” she said.

‘Sick’ new hospital entrance By JOHN RYAN THE expanded front-of-house and emergency area reception of Dubbo Hospital provided a welcome shelter from the rain as they were shown off to the media for the first time during a traditional smoking ceremony taking pride of place. The new entrance, which is set to open next week, features plenty of natural light with a two-storey glass frontage. To complete the bright and airy first impression there’s a suspended art work by artist Jade Oakley that was created especially for Dubbo Hospital. Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said the project was a significant part of Stages 3 and 4 of the $150 million hospital

redevelopment. “The opening up of the new front-of-house and emergency waiting areas is another milestone ticked off on this project, and it follows on from the opening of the new emergency department, medical imaging and coronary care units in 2020,” Mr Saunders said. “The Macquarie Building is being opened in stages to streamline building activity on the hospital site and to minimise disruption to staff and patients. “In the coming months we will also be opening the new intensive care unit, the ambulatory care floor and some specialist medical clinics that will further enhance Dubbo Hospital as the premier medical facility in the central west.

P&C turns new page on South Public School reading culture Contributed by NATALIE POLAK DUBBO South Public School’s learning community is working together to enrich its reading culture. All Year 3 to 6 students were very excited to learn that they have each been given an annual subscription to The School Magazine, Australia’s longest-running literary publication for children founded in 1916. The new magazine subscriptions have been generously funded by the Dubbo South Public School’s Parent and Citizens’ Association (P and C). The students will each receive 10 editions a year. The magazines will be used in the classroom to spark joy and build

proficiency in reading, as well used as learning tools during English lessons. Students will be encouraged to fully immerse themselves in their ownership of the magazine by annotating texts, highlighting key features, and completing the fun activities. When the next edition arrives, the students will be able to take the previous edition home. Students will be encouraged to share the evidence of all their hard work and their favourite parts of the magazine with their parents/carers and siblings. “It is a really good magazine. It makes me happy to think I own it and will be getting many more,” student Kobi Walsh said.

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.

CRICKET

CYMS to defend Whitney Cup By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL AFTER a week of big rain, there was no certainty the Dubbo Cricket semi-finals would even be played but wind and bursts of sunshine, combined with the skill and dedication of Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) ground staff ensured all three Cups went ahead.

Steve Skinner made an unbeaten 80 for Newtown. “It was hard to get boundaries once the wicket ﬂattened out late in the innings,” he said.

Whitney Cup ﬁrst grade: CYMS Cougars 1/152 (Lachie Strachan 62, Tom Coady 50 not out, Jacob Settree 34) d Newtown 8/147 (Steve Skinner 80 not out).  Play RSL Colts in Grand Final Pinnington Cup second grade: Newtown 136 (Kale Bock 36, Tom Shields 3/22) d RSL Colts 9/105 (Wes Giddings 36, Rajesh Shohar 4/28).  Grand Final v South Dubbo Hornets Kelly Cup third grade: Macquarie 9/85 d Newtown Tigers 84 (Ben Bunt 31; Indika Dombepola 4/15).  Macquarie plays Newtown Demons in the Grand Final

Newtown all-rounder Ben Bunt had the highest score in the Kelly Cup third grade semi with 31. He backed up to bowl 8 overs 5 maidens and took 1/6 but it wasn’t enough to earn his team a grand ﬁnal berth

NSW Country U19s keeper Tom Coady was impressive behind the stumps but it was his swashbuckling 50 from 38 balls that really caught the eye

Lachlan Strachan blasted 66 in double-quick time to ensure the Cougars’ grand ﬁnal spot. Earlier in the day he took 1/36

Bevan Charlton-White’s departure after a patient knock was well celebrated by Macquarie. The opening bat will now pull on his boots for the Dubbo Demons’ 40th season in CWAFL

Dubbo Photo News March 25-31, 2021 RUGBY LEAGUE

Dubbo league teams turn back the clock By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL IT has been decades si nce Dubbo rugby league clubs CYMS and Macquarie have played at Barden Park, but there’s a fair chance the turf where they were tackled had remnant sweat and blood from their forebears. Barden Park, or at least the playing field inside the state- of-the-art athletics track and field complex was once the home of Dubbo league. When the code was introduced west of the mountains around 1912, players representing North Dubbo, Railway, Abattoirs, High School and surrounding villages such as Wongarbon, Rawsonville, Ballimore, Elong and Wongarbon laced up their boots at Barden Park, on the old Postal Oval, the Showground as well as the three Victoria Park Ovals. CYMS and Macquarie met for the first time this season on Saturday afternoon in round 4 of the Group XI U21s. CYMS left the field as 28-6 victors to maintain their unbeaten record and claim a spot Joe Yeo crossed twice for the Fishies Dale Smith looking to pass in the final. In other matches Orange CYMS won over Woodbridge Cup 52-12 while Forbes claimed the Collits Cup in a thriller against Bathurst St Pats. The Memorial trophy is played annually in honour of Brendon Collitts who had played all his junior football with the Magpies before moving to Bathurst to attend CSU. It will be interesting in coming weeks to see players from both local clubs filter back into Juniors and grade teams. For many of them, the taste of ‘seniors’ rugby league will become the norm when the 2021 season kicks off next month.

JUNIOR CRICKET ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Dubbo Junior Cricket wraps up By GEOFF MANN LAST week Dubbo Photo News brought you some of the colour and pathos of the DDJCA grand finals. Association President Glenn Shepherd provided this report on the season. It was great to see a range of clubs represented in both age specific premiership and individual awards. Cricket needs all clubs to be strong and thriving. With everything that was going on, we managed to navigate our way through a very challenging season. Our older age groups reverted to one-day cricket only in case COVID became an issue. That was fortuitous, as more than five weekends were lost due to rain or wet grounds. Those issues aside, the DDJCA had a highly successful season with over 150 boys and girls participating in our U10s and Junior and Master Blaster competitions on a Thursday night, in addition to our Saturday morning competitions. We also welcomed Gilgandra into our Saturday competition and look forward to them and Wellington continuing a great relationship with Dubbo cricket. The Grand Finals were played on Sunday after successfully dodging more wet weather. The highlight was an unbelievable tie in the U16As. A ball-by-ball account was relayed from Victoria Park No 1 via phone to the crowd waiting in anticipation at Lady Cutler. It was like the old days when Alan McGilvray broadcast the Ashes from England on ABC! After setting an imposing 8/145

off their 25 overs, RSL Colts were in the driver’s seat with about 50 runs needed off the final seven overs. However, as is often the case in cricket, a fantastic partnership between first grader Hugh Sienkiewicz and Lochie George saw Macquarie get to 5-137 after 24 overs RSL Colts first grader Riley Keen knocked Sienkiewicz over off the second ball of the final over, leaving six runs to win. A couple of twos and a dot ball saw Macquarie needing two to claim the title off the final ball, but there was only a scrambled leg bye and scores were locked up at 145 apiece. Macquarie was awarded the premiership by virtue of being minor premiers.

Caitlin in Dubbo Junior Cricket ﬁrst HISTORY was made in 2020-21 when DDJCA awarded their inaugural Female Cricketer of the Year to Caitlin Keen. Caitlin represented Western Zone in the U19s Country Championships for the second year in a row, played with the Orana Outlaws in the Regional Bash, Sydney Thunder in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander T20 Cup as well as Country NSW in the Invitational Tri Series. Hopefully Caitlin will be the first of many worthy winners. Lisa Hunt and Hannah Robinson oversee our Thursday night Girls Program, that has had in excess of 80 girls playing cricket for each of the past two seasons. In a very pleasing initiative, Gilgandra brought down a girls team for some games at the end of the season against the Dubbo girls. Anthony Atlee took out the Male Cricketer of the Year, having represented Southern NSW in the U16s and Country NSW in the State Challenge. Anthony also performed strongly in the Whitney Cup and local representative teams and was in the RSL Colts team that won the McDonald’s Megahit. The prestigious Fraser Family Spirit of Cricket Award went to a deserving Lockie Rummans. In addition to playing with Souths Hornets, Lockie assisted at Thursday night cricket to develop our youngest generation of cricketers. His fantastic attitude both on and off the field saw him named captain of the Western Zone Bradman Cup side for 2020-21. He was also a strong contributor to Souths’ first grade team, helped put covers on pitches and generally chip in whenever he was able. I would like to thank the tireless DDJCA committee for all the efforts they have put in throughout the year to get youngsters on the park. Richie Richardson never stopped contributing in the many roles he undertakes, from DDJCA Vice President to Rep Coordinator, Western Zone Deputy Chairman and many others. Jeremy Dickson keeps us financially afloat as Treasurer; Wes Giddings keeps on top of the never-ending correspondence and the Jon Fuller-Belinda Atlee joint ticket keeps everyone on track with registrations, draws as well as making sure our competitions run smoothly. I would also like to thank the many sponsors, parents and supporters who are regular attendees at our meetings and the many volunteers who just seem to appear when we have carnivals or other events and put out the call for help.

DUBBO DUCKS

Dubbo swimmers dive into Olympic Pool Ducks stay ‘dry” in the pool

By GEOFF MANN DUBBO City Swimtech was well represented at the 2021 NSW Country Championships recently. Head Coach Dennis Valantine praised the efforts of the young swimmers whose focus and commitment over the three day event produced outstanding results for individual swimmers as well as relay teams representing Dubbo City Swimtech. “It was an absolute thrill to see our swimmers performing to their best ability. It reflects well on the dedication and work ethic of every one of our club members. Their personal commitment is wonderful,” Dennis said. It should not go unnoticed that the swimmers’ success is in no small part due to the support of their parents. “They are the ones who get them up, pick them up and offer lots of positive reinforcements. I am especially thankful to coach Kim Edwards for her assistance with swimmer and team management at the Championships,” Dennis added. “What was especially impressive was that Swimtech finished ninth out of 99 clubs in the Team Points.” 12 swimmers aged from 10 to 15 years competed in multiple individual and relay events competing against swimmers from all country towns as well as the larger centres of Newcastle, Canberra and Wollongong. “The Teams’ result was a remarkable outcome for Dubbo considering the other nine clubs had significantly larger numbers, including 62 from the top club,” Dennis said. Dubbo Swimtech’s exceptional performances netted a total of 16 medals – five Gold, five Silver and six Bronze as well as 35 top 10 placings and many personal best times. “We had a slight expectation that our team had the capability to secure a few medals at the championships with some solid individual performances, however to return home with 16 medals was just an astonishing effort! It is a testament to every individual’s dedication and commitment to our swim program and competitive performances in the lead up to the championships,” Dennis beamed. Notable performances from the squad included: Bianca Fuller (15 years): 10 events, six medals – Gold in 100m butterfly; four Silver (100/200m breastroke and 200/ 400m Individual Medleys; Bronze in the 50m ‘fly as well as finishing fifth in the 100m Backstroke, sixth places in the 100m freestyle and 50m breastroke and a ninth in the 200m Freestyle. “Bianca swam exceptionally well to record seven PBs and achieved great results across all her strokes with top 10 placings in each of her events. Unfortunately she was a little off her usual pace in her favoured breastroke events, swimming just over her best times and missing the opportunity to add additional medals to her tally. Bianca has achieved seven qualifying times to compete at the 2021 Age Nationals to be held on the Gold Coast in April,” Dennis added. Sophie McAneney (11 yrs) Nine events; five medals – three

gold (50/100/200 metres breaststroke) and 2 Bronze (100m and 50m butterfly). She also placed seventh in the 100m freestyle and a 7th place sixth in the 10/11yrs 200m freestyle relay. “Sophie clocked up seven PBs. Three Gold medals in her favoured breastroke events and a strong performance in the butterfly events are a result of her consistent commitment to training and solid competition performances around the area. Her success at this meet will place her in a good position for NSW Junior State Age Championships at the end of March.” Brody Steele (12 yrs) Seven events; three medals – gold in the 200m backstroke, silver in the 100m backstroke (missing out by a touch) and bronze in the 400m freestyle, just 0.5sec off second. “Brody secured an 8th placing in the 50 butterfly and swam six PBs. He is gradually maturing in all strokes and has demonstrated an ability to work towards achiev-

ing short term goals. Brody will compete in the up and coming NSW Juniors. Joely Bruce (13 yrs) Seven events: two bronze medals – 100m breastroke and 200m medley relay; fifth (200m breastroke) and fourth (13-14yrs 200m freestyle relay). “Joely was not at her best leading into the meet and this limited her training intensity. Despite achieving PBs she was off the pace in her favourite Breaststroke events. Overall she achieved excellent results and these will give her some confidence for the three events she has qualified for at the Nationals in April.” Abbie Messner (11 yrs – ﬁrst Country titles) Nine events: fifth placings in her preferred 100m and 50ms backstroke; sixth in the 10-12yrs 200m freestyle relay and eighth in 50m butterfly. “Abbie achieved nine PBs over all strokes, backing up consistent performances and excellent results throughout the season.”

13-14yrs Medley Relay – 3rd place: Taliyah, Eve, Joely and Maia

Maia Wake (14 yrs) Nine events: bronze medal in the13-14yrs 200m medley relay; fourth in the 200m freestyle relay and sixth in the100m freestyle. “Maia clocked four PBs in favoured strokes and consistent efforts over the remaining events. She has been working tirelessly over the season to regain swimming form and has recently started to progress her times in competitions where she has lowered her best times. Traevion Forrester, (13 yrs) Seven events: Seventh (100m breaststroke) and three PBs (100m breast, ‘fly and free) “Over the past two seasons Traevion has improved his commitment to training and with improving technical skills he is much more consistent across all strokes. The championship results are a great outcome for Traevion and is a good indicator of further improvement ahead. Eve Bailey (14 yrs) Five events: bronze medal in the 200m medley relay and fourth place in the 200m Freestyle Relay on top of two PBs (100m and 50m freestyle). “Eve performed exceptionally well in her favoured freestyle events, relishing the close competition in both the relay events. She narrowly missed an additional bronze in the freestyle relay. Eve’s improved racing competitiveness and the experience at Country will give her confidence. Taliyah Lovett (14 yrs) Five events: bronze medal (200m Medley Relay) and fourth in the 200m freestyle relay as well as a PB time in 100m backstroke. “Taliyah produced strong swims in both freestyle and medley relays and lowered her time by two seconds in the 100m backstroke. Matilda Medlin (12 yrs) Two events: Sixth in the 1012yrs 200m freestyle relay with a personal best time in the 100m butterfly. “Matilda continues to provide the effort and consistency to progress after her positive results.” Gigi Windeyer (10 yrs) Three events: Fourth with a PB in her favorite stroke, the 100m breastroke and another PB in the 100m freestyle. “Gigi is a first time representative at the championships and was somewhat overwhelmed by the experience, however she embraced the opportunity and only just missed out on a medal in the 100m breastroke event.” Chloe Brown (12 yrs) Two events: Sixth in the 10-12yrs 200m freestyle relay and PB in 50m freestyle. “Chloe is also a first-time representative who performed consistently and gained valuable experience at the championships.”

“I’M glad we weren’t swimming outside today,” Duck Judy Walsh, quacked, “we’d have all got wet”! Some apparently wanted to swim with the triathletes in the Macquarie. “They were hoping to record PBs – world records,” Judy laughed. The real action was in the RSL Memorial Club pool with Breaststroke and Freestyle strokes of the Championships finalised on Sunday. “A few of the regulars turned up this morning which was nice to see. Maybe they were scared off by the Butterfly events last week.” A tight finish in the final of the brace relay saw Ron Everett and Max Naden claim victory. Both incredibly stopped the clock exactly on their nominated times. “Not unheard of, but rare nonetheless,” Judy explained. Commiserations went to CYMS gun winger, Jack Allen and former PCYC manager, John McLean who both broke by a tiny 0.17 of a second. “Brett Schloeffel followed up his successes at the recent Western Districts AIF carnival at Forbes with a superbly timed swim in the 50 metres Freestyle.” This Sunday is the Open Championships 100 metre Freestyle plus the RSL Under 60 Ron Manson Trophy and the RSL Over 60 25 metre Freestyle. It also marks the end of the Ducks 20/21 season with the AGM scheduled for May 2.

AFL Central West Season Launch By GEOFF MANN AFTER the frustrations of last year, the 40th Anniversary of the formation of a CWAFL will be officially launched on Sunday April 18. North Parkes Oval and Spicer Park, will see all Senior Men’s and Senior Women’s teams participating in a round robin carnival to celebrate the 2021 season. The Women will play at Spicer Park; the Men at North Parkes in an historic occasion for the code. “This carnival will serve as an opportunity for clubs to get their final pre-season preparations in place and serve as the first formal implementation of the new AFL laws of the game

introduced in the 2021 Toyota AFL Premiership Season and all regional leagues,” Regional Manager, AFLNSW Casey White told Photo News. “We plan to have all our players, coaches and officials available to chat with fans and media. CWAFL is really committed to reaching out and expanding the game to those who may be new to the area or looking for an alternative sport,” Casey added. Mr White thanked Parkes Panthers Australian Rules Football Club for their support of the season launch. “They have been strong advocates for AFL since its inception in the Central West in 1981 so we are very grateful for the club hosting this unique day. We are all looking forward to watching

some excellent Australian Football being played on the day.” Matches will commence at 11am and played right through until 4pm so there will be plenty of opportunities for spectators and prospective players to catch the action and make new contacts. For any further enquiries, please contact Casey White – AFL CW Football Operations Manager via email casey.white@ afl.com.au or phone 0407 060 705 and to keep up to date on all things AFL CW in 2021. www.fb.me/aﬂcentralwest/ Demons driving force!

Dubbo gets a kickstart to 40th anniversary By GEOFF MANN IN 1981 a group of AFL tragics bonded to enter a team in the Dubbo Demons, a founding club in the Central West competition. 40 years on and there is now an entire club, with juniors, seniors (two grades) and women’s teams. This year the Demons will also field young adults U17s and Youth league sides. Finals of the six week 9s comp were held during the week as regulars and new players came together to blow out the dust of COVID, drought and limited access to their beloved sport. “Once again it’s been a successful competition and Dubbo Juniors fielded two teams, composed of junior players, coaches and parents,” Dubbo Junior AFL President Merinda Roll said.

“Casey White (Giants and Central West Development Officer) worked with Dubbo Demons to establish the initiative last season. They have

again done a fantastic job with everyone involved enjoying the relaxed atmosphere that ensured everyone had plenty of fun.”

Cycling event turns 21 in ’21: Young basketballers Feature race honours club champ named in elite squad By GEOFF MANN ON your bikes, everyone! Dubbo Cycle Club is on track for a big weekend with this Saturday’s 2021 NSW Junior State Titles and Open Carnival being staged for the 21st year right here at the city’s regional cycling facility. The carnival includes the Dubbo Open, part of which is the iconic Cliff Hazell Memorial Wheel Race. The race also celebrates its milestone anniversary this year and is named in honour of a muchloved stalwart of the club. The race comes with a hefty cheque for the winner, which is presented each year by Cliff’s wife Margaret who, while in her 80s, continues to support the Dubbo Cycle Club, attending every race, training night and event – rain, hail or shine. Cliff was involved with the club for almost a quarter of a century, and Margaret continues to fly the family flag as an ardent supporter of the club. “Cliffy” as he was affectionately known, joined the Dubbo Cycle Club when the couple’s sons, Stephen and Phillip, signed up and was soon involved not only in the

general business of the club but gave unselfishly of his time to ensure the little day-to-day jobs were taken care of. He also filled many executive positions over the year including president, vice-president and treasurer, and was a driving force behind the establishment of the Western Districts Cycle Association. It was largely thanks to Cliff that the amateur and professional cycle clubs were amalgamated, with Dubbo Cycle Club being one of the first

in the state to undertake the move. There’s no doubt the Dubbo Cycle Club punches well above its weight in the sport, with the city consistently producing state, national, and even international champion cyclists – and that’s thanks in no small part to Cliff. So when the Cliff Hazell Memorial Wheel Race gets underway this weekend, the spirit of the great clubman will no doubt be riding with the entrants all the way to the finish line.

SIX local juniors have been selected to attend the Talented Athletes Program (TAP) at Narrabeen in May. This honour places each one amongst the best in NSW as selectors drew from all country and metropolitan regions. “This is the most athletes Dubbo Basketball Association has ever had selected. It recognised

the quality of our players and is a reflection on the Association coaches who are committed to skills development,” Claire Hargreaves said. Millie Sutcliffe, Kiara McKeown, Sam Hargreaves, Cohen Weir, Clancy Toshack and Tully Pickering will head to the Narrabeen Sports Centre in coming weeks.

Ray, “The Jeweller” and Johnny Zero

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL I HAD a surprise at church last week when an old friend handed me a letter marked “Urgent”! Intrigued I flicked it open – before mass started mind you – and inside was a sports journalists gold bar. “Can’t wait for next weekend’s Wellington Boot.” I read on. “It’s 40 years since Peter Carolan, aka “The Jeweller” and I were the proud owners of Johnny

Zero. He was first past the post in an event that has become iconic in Australian racing”. I went digging, made a few calls, dug up some clippings through the Macquarie Regional Library’s excellent archives and the full picture literally appeared. This week Ray and The Jeweller have been remembering the day Johnny Zero raced clear to claim the Boot by two and a half lengths from Golden Pan with Brown Narcissus a full length and a half further back in third. ‘Rob Bradley rode a superb race,

recovering down the straight after Golden Pan had shot past on the bend,” Ray remembered. Eva Langworthy bred and trained the colt raced in partnership with her husband, John, Ray and “The Jeweller”. “I was book-making at the Boot that day,” Jeweller recalled. “Every b... favourite won. I had to keep rushing back to my car to pay my debts. Thankfully Johnny helped to square the ledger,” he laughed! Ray and Peter maintain their interest in racing. In fact one of

WELLINGTON BOOT

Covid gives luncheon the Boot!

Ray’s horses, Leg Work, has qualified for the half-a-million dollar Country Championship final at Randwick next month. “We are quietly confident,” Ray whispered. “Good trainer – Coonamble boy Danny Williams” has the fouryear-old primed for a big show on the big track.” What a nice bookend to a 40 year occasion it would be if Leg Work can do a Johnny Zero and give the rest of the NSW Country horses the boot at Royal Randwick!

Wellington Diggers Swimming Club news by THE PLATYPUS FIRSTS were the order of the day at Points Score in the Wellington Pool this week. Michael McLaughlan won his first individual event, taking the 50 metres freestyle, 0.56 outside his time while Tempi Lemon and Ella Beatty broke through for their first wins in the Junior races.

Terry Dray chalked up his second 30m in a row, 0.11 and five teams contested the Brace Relay with Sam Lemon & Nick Knowles successful being 0.71 outside their time. In a welcome surprise, former Captain Ross Rich joined us for the swim. Our current Captain is recovering in Dubbo Base following a medical episode and we

wish him well in his recovery. Results Tue 16 March: JUNIORS  25m Tempi Lemon (+.08), 2nd Lilly Sheridan (-.27), 3rd Deacon George (-.29)  50m Ella Beatty (-.05), 2nd Bella Sheridan (+.68), 3rd Lilly Sheridan ( – 1.11) SENIORS  30m Terry Dray (-0.11), 2nd

ALTHOUGH the dreaded pandemic means the Wellington Jockey Club’s popular luncheon will not be held on Sunday, everything else will be “near normal” for the two day Hermitage Hill Wellington Boot Carnival this weekend. “Because of the larger than usual number of jockeys who will be riding at the Boot, the tea rooms which host the luncheon will be used as the male jockeys’ room,” Race Club secretary Dale Jones said. “The Club explored a number alternatives to allow it to hold the luncheon elsewhere on the racecourse, but COVID and logistical restrictions made it extremely difficult. With this in mind, the committee made the very hard decision not to hold the luncheon this year.’ “With COVID restrictions expected to continue easing in the next 12 months, Wellington Race Club is looking forward to hosting a bigger and better luncheon in 2022.,” Dale added. One positive outcome according to Mr Jones is that some racegoers who had enquired about luncheon tickets are now considering having their own smaller race day marquees for their groups. Anyone wishing to enquire about race day marquees for the Wellington Boot should email wellingtonboot@bigpond.com. au or call Wellington Race Club on 0437 778 451.

Beryl “squashed” by NSW recognition By GEOFF MANN DUBBO Squash Club is proud to acknowledge the work of Squash Volunteer Beryl Mortimer as highlighted by NSW Squash. Beryl Mortimer has been involved in the Dubbo Squash Club for as long as she can remember. Last week her contribution to the administration and development of the sport was recognised by Squash NSW. The citation for Beryl’s award says it all. Beryl began her love of squash when she first picked up a racquet in school sport aged 16. She had gained interest watching her older brother play at an A-grade level. “I have a bit of a competitive streak in me and I tend to grow an extra leg when I get on the court,” she laughed. Squash continued to be a major part of her life as her family grew, with her three children and then her grandchildren, all playing from young ages.

Beryl’s love for squash has never faded and she has seen squash change since its use of wooden rackets to now with plastic racquets, the citation read. “The speed of the game has certainly changed. Nowadays you can hit the ball and direct it so much easier. There is so much more power in the game today,” she said. Over the years Beryl has continued to contribute to the squash community in Dubbo, running junior programs and supporting players as they have developed. A notable achievement was establishing Dubbo's first local circuit in 2000 and maintaining it to the present. This circuit gave juniors the chance to compete and further develop their skills in a tournament setting. “Beryl worked tirelessly during these competitions on everything from grading teams and creating the preliminary draw, to running the canteen and ensuring it was always stocked full with food

and drink,” the citation read. Beryl is the heart and soul of Dubbo Squash Club and her involvement has been essential to its running according to Club President Gavin Stait. "Beryl is there every week, pretty much no matter what, to run the juniors. On top of that she looks after most of the social squash and our competitions. She’s always the first one there and the last one to leave! “Beryl truly loves what she does and says that passing on knowledge to the juniors at the club and watching them learn and continuing to improve gives her great pleasure,” Gavin said. Beryl’s best advice for junior players coming up the ranks is to “persevere and just stay with it”. She would love to see more juniors gaining exposure to squash and she is sure this will lead to an increase in participation numbers. “It’s good to keep the game going, I’d love to see Dubbo get back to what it was. I can remember when we had sev-

Cricket • League • AFL • Basketball

en courts at the Dubbo Squash Centre owned by Peter Deacon. We had seven teams with five players across two grades plus juniors, Business House comps and socials.” Beryl says enjoyment has been her main driver. “It’s been fun, I've enjoyed it, the social side particularly, as well as the competition. I’ve always loved squash otherwise I wouldn’t still be doing it!” Eric Reynolds is President of Dubbo RSL Squash Club. He lent his voice to that of Gavin Stait. “Thanks for all the years you’ve been doing this Beryl – helping out and keeping our comps and the juniors running... all I can say is thanks!” Dubbo Squash Club will host the Junior Open Championships on Sat 24th April with all matches to be held at the Narromine Squash Courts.  Dubbo Squash Club will host the Junior Open Championships on 24,25 April at Narromine
