Developers not at fault: Lawrence By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY NEGATIVE feedback from some in the community towards the developers of a proposed Bunnings at the former RAAF depot as well as proposed rugby league ovals at Regand Park are unfounded, according to acting Dubbo Regional Council mayor Stephen Lawrence. “There is absolutely nothing to suggest that the proponents of the RAAF base development and the Regand Park proposal have done anything wrong,” Cr Lawrence said. “They, like anyone else, are entitled to put proposals to council and they are all to be commended for their industry and work

in their respective enterprises. It is a matter for council to then ensure that proper process is followed. “Failings of council process and perceptions of it are in no way attributable to these people and it’s most unfair for people to engage in any speculation of that nature,” Cr Lawrence said. Cr Lawrence was speaking after he and Cr John Ryan called for Mayor Ben Shields’ resignation and departure from council on ABC Western Plains radio last week. On Wednesday morning seven councillors signed or committed to a document calling on Cr Shields to resign and later that afternoon the mayor was rushed

to Dubbo Hospital after what has been described as a “medical episode”. A community vigil was held at the weekend, and a request from family spokesperson Cr Greg Mohr for privacy for Cr Shields and his family indicated grave health concerns. Cr Lawrence said, “The seven councillors remain committed to the view that the return of Ben Shields as mayor cannot occur. We are obviously taking into account information about his medical condition in terms of what occurs in terms of particular motions, but we will not be swayed by emotion – that would be to fail in our roles as public leaders.”

“All allegations of misconduct against any councillors are being dealt with appropriately according to proper process.” Cr Lawrence said Ben Shields had undermined the planning process by holding a press conference on site on the morning the Bunnings development application was announced, declaring it was great for Dubbo. “When a mayor does a press conference with a developer on the day that a DA is lodged and appears to prejudge the DA, the mayor has done the wrong thing, not the developer.” Cr Lawrence has been critical of Cr Shields since he introduced a mayoral minute to council without warning during an ordinary

council meeting on February 22, regarding a proposal to allocate 10 hectares of public riverbank land in Regand Park to the St Johns Junior Rugby League Club to build four sporting ovals. Cr Lawrence told Dubbo Photo News there was a vast differentiation between the proposals themselves, which are perfectly fine to be put, and the way mayor Ben Shields disrupted proper process regarding planning laws and community perceptions. ❱❱

ROAD CLOSURE

Traffic chaos puts the brakes on holiday travel

IF you’re headed to or from Sydney or over the mountains these school holidays, be warned: you’re likely to strike significant delays thanks to ongoing traffic restrictions on the Bells Line of Road, so plan ahead. The popular Blue Mountains route suffered substantial damage during the recent heavy wet weather, with motorists being diverted onto the Great Western Highway during one of the year’s busiest times on the roads with Easter and the start of the school holidays. Dubbo Photo News has heard reports of extraordinary delays for holiday makers and others trying to escape to the bush for Easter, with one family reporting a near 12-hour trek from Sydney’s East to Dubbo. The Bells Line remains closed indefinitely. Alternative routes include the Golden or Hume highways, or use public transport.

THE Flying Doctors are expecting plenty more cash in the can after being named as partners in the NSW container deposit scheme. The high-flying medical organisation has been selected as the major donation partner with Return and Earn to raise critical funding to deliver vital healthcare services to families in the state’s outback. The Return and Earn scheme across NSW

gives residents an easy opportunity to provide funding for those in need while reducing litter in the environment, by simply donating used containers and bottles Royal Flying Doctor Service (South Eastern Section) (RFDSSE) CEO Greg Sam said the organisation is thankful to be listed across the network of Return and Earn Reverse Vending Machines. “People living in the outback just do not have the same opportunities

and access to healthcare as those in the city,” Mr Sam said. “This partnership will raise vital funds which will be used to provide outback emergency retrievals, GP clinics, mental and dental health, breast care and chronic disease screening to Australians living in the outback of NSW. “If you are recycling at a Return and Earn machine, please consider donating all or part of your drink container refunds to the Flying

Doctor. Even small donations can make a difference to remote families in need.” Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders said the partnership should be a real gamechanger. “I know in the Dubbo electorate alone, almost 93 million containers have been deposited since the scheme commenced, so there is the potential for a substantial amount of money to be raised for a very worthwhile organisation,” Mr Saunders said.

DUBBO region mayor Ben Shields was rushed from his West Dubbo home to hospital by paramedics on Wednesday last week following a medical episode. Previously that day, a group of Dubbo Regional Councillors signed a letter calling on Cr Shields to resign as both mayor and from council. Following an announcement from a family spokesperson that Cr Shields was in a coma and on life support, a large group of people gathered in Victoria Park on Easter Saturday, staging a candlelight vigil to pray for his recovery. At the time of going to print, Cr Shields’ condition was reported to be improving.

Call for independent investigator at council

HEAR ME IN THE HARMONY

MEMBER for Dubbo Dugald Saunders has written to Dubbo Regional Council’s Interim Chief Executive Officer expressing “serious concerns” about the operations of Council which came to a head last week. “As you are aware, two councillors called for the mayor to resign, and there was a letter of intent from seven councillors to hold an extraordinary meeting where a motion of no-confidence in the mayor was set to be moved,” Mr Saunders said in his letter. “I realise the mayor is now on indefinite medical leave, but the questions surrounding behaviour and operations at Council remain, and I believe they should be addressed as quickly as possible. “Given the recent focus on improving workplaces, I would suggest Council consider employing an independent investigator to conduct a full review of Council’s operations, including codes of conduct, and both internal and external complaints,” he said. Acting mayor Stephen Lawrence acknowledged receipt of the letter by Council this week, saying he takes it “incredibly seriously”. “Councillors met on Monday night with the CEO and discussed the matter. I am open to an independent investigator being retained by Council and the CEO has been asked to provide advice on when and how it could occur,” Cr Lawrence said. Cr Lawrence added, “I will never protect the organisation at the expense of doing the right thing. That principle will guide all my actions on this issue and the community would expect no less. Going forward I want staff and the community to be assured that the right thing will be done and there will be transparency.”

CAMERON PARK

Toilets are ‘woefully inadequate’ By NATALIE LEWIS THE Wellington Town Plan has been revised following community consultation but the lack of toilets in Cameron Park remains a sore point with local residents. Dubbo Regional Council held an extensive consultative period over three months which included an online forum, retail consultation and a focus group. Some of the main outcomes of that process included concerns about the town’s appearance, signage, the lack of toilets in Cameron Park, the amount of emp-

ty shopfronts and a desire to include the town’s history in its future. “Comments received related mainly to traffic calming measures, the need for revitalisation and promotion of heritage, concern about vacant shop fronts, the general public domain and the Cameron Park masonry wall,” the report stated. Some of the ideas to rejuvenate the town centre include turning the old Caltex site into a green space, employment of a community liaison officer, and taking advantage of the town as an

arts hub. However, the new amenities block in Cameron Park has remained an issue. “The new toilet facility in Cameron Park near the children’s playground is totally inadequate and a waste of money,” long-term resident Marie Hoffman wrote in her submission. Margot Drake agreed, saying “more toilets plus caravan and bus parking are a must if tourism/events are to increase. Currently woefully inadequate”. Christine Hardy wrote “we need more toilets in the main area, Cameron Park

for visitors”. The amenities block layout is made up of one accessible unisex cubicle, two unisex ambulant cubicles and one area including adult changing table and hoist. The town plan report states that the Cameron Park toilets were installed in accordance with the Cameron Park Masterplan exhibited and adopted in 2017. Continued upgrades to Cameron Park include the pedestrian bridge to Pioneer Park, playground area and Wiradjuri Cultural Centre. The plan is set for review in 2023.

Many Wellington residents claim the new toilet block at Cameron Park doesn’t contain enough toilets to cater for locals using the park as well as passing tourists who pull up in the town to enjoy the beautiful surrounds.

FUNDRAISER

TRIVIA TEST

Fitness fashion cashes in for MS By JOHN RYAN Photos Ruby APPLEBY THERE’S nothing like the outrageous fitness fashions of the long ago 1980s to create an otherworldly atmosphere, according to Dubbo RSL Health Club manager Carmen Appleby who said this was the motivation for staging a fundraiser for people suffering from MS. Mrs Appleby told Dubbo Photo News a few of the staff have friends who live with MS so they understand how important it is to raise money and awareness to help those in need. “Laura, who works here, went through the MS association and we thought doing something fun like going back to the ‘80s would be a great way to get people involved,” she said. “When people get dressed up in the fluoro exercise gear and put on the big hair, it’s just a great thing to be involved in. It was a great day. “We usually do little fundraisers and not everyone always gets involved but this was the best one we’ve done for a long time.” The event raised more than $900 and when the participants realised how well they’d done, they kicked in what was needed Front, Aeddan Toddhunter, Ruby Appleby, back, Laura Powning, Donna Curtis, Lisa Tratt and Carmen Appleby to hit the magic $1000 mark.

RENEWABLES

Wanted: new board chair, no Bull

Ag renewables on stage By JOHN RYAN

DUBBO is set to host the National Renewables in Agriculture Conference and Expo on May 19. Organiser and Narromine farmer Karin Stark believes increasing energy costs and the impacts of climate change are reducing the sustainability and competitiveness of some farm businesses across Australia. She says the event is all about creating change and ensure regional Australians are part of the renewable energy transition. “Renewable energy is a practical way for farmers to significantly reduce their costs, reduce their exposure to energy price fluctuations and build business resilience,” Ms Stark told Dubbo Photo News. “The conference is designed to overcome the known barriers to the uptake of renewable energy by farmers. There is a gap in the knowledge and understanding of what renewable energy solutions work for what farming operations plus there is a general lack of trust in solar suppliers, which constrains investment.” She said a key part of the conference is the expo, where credible suppliers, are available to

speak with farmers about opportunities on their farm. “It’s important for farmers to be able to get together and share their stories and also their challenges and mistakes so that others can learn from them,” she said. “We have a very strong line up of speakers this year, including a Victorian organic broccoli grower using solar for irrigation, a piggery owner in Young NSW, producing enough energy from waste that she sells to the grid, a winery using tracking solar panels and looking to grow spuds under the panels and a Manildra farmer who built a 46MW solar farm and continues to graze his sheep on the land.” Dubbo is at the centre of New South Wales’ first Renewable Energy Zone (REZ), where farmers able to host solar and wind farms can earn a significant guaranteed secondary income for the life of the project. Andrew Lang is a farmer, bioenergy consultant and president of the Victorian Bioenergy Network – he’ll be speaking at the conference on topics like how straw, which he says is often under-valued, can be used to produce energy (power, heat and

transport fuels, plus to produce biogas/biomethane) and potentially also for the production of biochemicals to replace industrial petrochemicals. “Many farmers I have visited in Europe are actually energy farmers as well as producers of food and fibre,” Mr Lang said. “As Australia is so far behind in its development of this sector, if we take the right steps now, there’s a huge future potential to grow our bioenergy output.” In Victoria he’s helping a group of farmers near Ballarat who have been working on viable options for the use of straw as an alternative to burning, in the paddock. “They have about 50,000 tonnes/year among the group just from baled up windrowed straw behind the headers and easily another 150,000 tonnes in the immediate district,” he said. “In Denmark this would be

enough to fuel a 30 Megawatt (electrical output) combined heat and power plant.” It’s the second time an event like this has been run in Australia, providing a platform for farmers to share stories of what they have done with on-farm renewables and will create a learning environment for other groups such as peak bodies, Government reps and agriculture and energy consultants. The conference has the support of groups such as NSW Farmers, National Farmers Federation, National Irrigators Council, Department for Primary Industries, Clean Energy Council and Farmers for Climate Action. The Conference is taking place in Dubbo on the May 19, with tickets between $175 and $220, available through: renewablesinagconference.com.au

LOCAL Land Services (LLS) has a new board chair, with the retirement recently of Rick Bull from the position after seven years with the organisation. The Holbrook based sheep producer and agricultural consultant will be well known to many in Dubbo and across the region, having made a significant contribution to rural industries during his time at LLS. He says he’ll miss being a part of the organisation but that “looking back to day one, it’s been a remarkable journey”. Over the past seven years, Mr Bull made many contributions, including conducting reviews of the Rural Lands Protection Board structure and rating system, and presiding over the LLS through some very testing times such as drought, fires, floods and the pandemic.

Roads hoping for recovery

RAAF memories at Terramungamine Reserve

SAFER journeys could be on the way across Western NSW with 13 projects worth more than $21 million rolling out under the latest round of the Australian and NSW Government’s accelerated Fixing Local Roads program. Parkes MP Mark Coulton said the latest round of Fixing Local Roads funding would help local councils tackle the increasing amount of work required to provide safe roads for their communities. “The $243.6million first round of the program last year is delivering 38 projects across the Parkes electorate, and now we’re building on that with a further $150 million in round two,” Mr Coulton said. Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack said Round 2 of the Fixing Local Roads Program would fund more than 100 new road upgrades across the state, creating more than 1000 jobs. “Safe, reliable roads are essential for communities in regional New South Wales – by improving roads, we are making a big difference to people’s lives in ensuring they get home sooner and safer,” Mr McCormack said. All successful projects will be completed within two years.

PROFILE

By the book: Business keeps Dave connected Seniors

By JEN COWLEY EVERYTHING about Dave Pankhurst screams “old school” – from his omnipresent necktie to his impeccable manners; from his gracious customer service to the quaint shopfront from which he has plied his trade for nearly four decades. But beneath the grandfatherly demeanour of the western region’s own Bibliophile-in-Chief lies a savvy businessman who has managed to successfully navigate the murky and largely unchartered waters of corporate incursion to stay afloat where so many others have been scuttled by global retail giants. Next week, Dave will clock 83 laps around the sun but every work day morning, he’s there to turn the key to the door of the book shop that’s become as much a feature of the Dubbo retail landscape as the man himself. At the end of each day, he’s there to turn the key in the opposite direction. For the past 38 years, The Book Connection has served the reading needs of an extensive clientele from across not only the city but the nation, thanks to the internet, and while most octogenarians would have hung up the reins years ago, Dave is still very much in the driver’s seat. He allows himself two half-days off every week, but with 45,000 books in stock, it’s still a full-time job to keep abreast of the public’s reading habits and after all this time, he has that knack down to a fine art. “People’s appetite for reading and tastes in books haven’t changed that much over the years,” he says of what he sees as a “fairly standard pattern”. “It’s the authors themselves that have the ongoing impact and a constant following – authors like Wilbur Smith, people still buy his books. Peter Watt and Agatha Christie, same thing. “Children still love to read and that’s where our business is still very active,” he says, and the eye-popping volume and variety of books adorning the little people’s section of the shop bears witness to this truth. Over time, the shop has evolved to be a real destination, such is Dave’s attention to the needs of his customers. About eight years ago, Dave and the team established a “Men’s Shed” with books specific to the sorts of titles men like

The western region’s own Bibliophile-in-Chief, Dave Pankhurst, says that even after nearly four decades in the business of selling books, it’s a job that broadens his mind. The near-83-year-old still comes to work each day and has his hands ﬁrmly on the reins of one of Dubbo’s favourite businesses. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/JEN COWLEY

to read – metalworks, mechanic, westerns, military – and another section for predominantly female readers with craft and those kinds of things. Even technology hasn’t fundamentally shifted the way in which people consume books, or the different demographics involved with that consumption. “In about 2008 when the e-Book started to emerge, everyone thought, ‘Oh, this is going to be wonderful,’ and of course it did have an impact on us for a while, but the only lasting effect has been with text books. Dave says that, predictably, while people still buy e-Books, most folks like the simple pleasure of holding a book in their hands. “People still like the physical action of opening and reading a book. They can come in here and browse and enjoy the experience and it’s so much nicer than browsing a website. “With a website, you just go looking for a specific title, but when you browse here, you can discover all sorts of things you didn’t even know you were interested in.” So that prompts the question: what kinds of books is he interested in?

“I always loved books, too right I did. I loved reading at high school – that’s never changed,” says the man whose working life began with a big agricultural company’s mechanical division until the siren call of being in business for himself lured him into the book trade. “My favourite genre is certainly non-fiction, and particularly biography. You learn from other people. I also like military history and mechanics, given my background in machinery. “Australian history is also a favourite.” Such is the breadth of The Book Connection’s offering, it’s become something of a local challenge to see if there’s a title Dave Pankhurst doesn’t know. It’s a challenge he’s happy to take up. “It happens just about every week that someone will come in looking for a specific book that we don’t have, but we always try to find it. Self-publishing has made this a bit more difficult because people sell them direct, or just to the online outlets and not to bookshops. It’s a challenge, but we’ve grown used to meeting challenges.” As we chat and people come and go, I ask Dave when – and if – he plans to retire. A staff member is

pushing a trolley load of books past as I pose the question and she laughs good-naturedly in her boss’ direction. Her chuckle says it all: “Retire? As if.” Dave, though, says he’d retire tomorrow to spend more time with his wife Nancy, but he’d find it hard to leave the shop altogether. If the right person came along he’d sell, although he says potential buyers are unnecessarily a little skittish about Amazon. “I’ve stopped worrying about Amazon because there are enough independent book shops left to show that we can survive.” I ask if he thinks the business helps keep him young. “I don’t give a lot of thought to age at my time of life,” he chuckles. “But I do still love coming in here. “It’s my social life for one thing, it’s my way of staying connected with what’s going on in the world. “I can branch off into all the different elements of the world – finance, politics, psychology, health. You get alerted to so many different things and you think, oh, that’s interesting, even if it’s not something you’d necessarily get into for yourself. “This job gives you a broader mind.”

If you’re yet to take advantage of the Dine and Discover vouchers – either as a business or a consumer – now’s the time to log on and let the Premier “shout” you dinner or a movie, or help with a ticket to the zoo or buy you a coffee.

NEW YEAR’S EVE

DRC NEWS

This year’s Seniors Festival is being held on 13 – 14 April, 2021. There are a number of activities happening which senior citizens of the Dubbo Region can attend, including a backstage guided tour of the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre, and the Seniors Week Expo.

DRC is seeking Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from the community, to potentially host a New Year’s Eve event in Wellington. At the moment, there isn’t a community event in Wellington to celebrate the New Year, so the EOIs are seeking members of the community to indicate whether they would be interested in hosting an event.

DRC News is a fortnightly update on Dubbo Regional Council’s social media pages and website about things happening at Council. This includes things like public exhibition items, official openings, and other projects where DRC has partnered with community groups. If you have a story to tell, contact drctv@dubbo.nsw.gov.au.

Electric vehicle display planned for Man from Ironbark Festival

AS part of the ‘Man from Ironbark Festival” being held this Saturday, April 3 at Stuart Town, the Dubbo Electric Vehicle Interest, Owners, Users and Supporters (DEVIOUS) will have a range of Electric Vehicles (EV) on display. “Surveys repeatedly show that the best way for the public to learn about EVs is to talk with actual owners, and this is why we put on these displays,” DEVIOUS group organiser Mr Chris Dalitz said. A feature vehicle at this Saturday’s display will be an Electric Motorbike built by a local EV enthusiast. Also on display will be a range of Tesla vehicles, and a Nissan Leaf. The Festival runs from 10:30am to 2:30pm at Stuart Town.

AGED CARE CAREER

In this job, patience and empathy never gets old By JEN COWLEY

Pip Downey has worked in aged care for the past 11 years and says it’s been like a decade-long history lesson. She says each day reminds her to count her blessings. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

DOING an interview with Pip Downey takes a little longer than usual because everyone else, it seems, also wants to stop and have a yarn with her. That’s what makes her so good at her job. The senior community manager at independent living retirement community, Ingenia Gardens, is as busy as can be (“I wear about 30 different hats every day,” she tells me) but there’s rarely an occasion when she doesn’t stop and spend time with a resident who needs it. On any given day, Pip can be social worker and appointment manager, taxi driver and administrative assistant: “I do whatever the residents need me to do,” she says. “My job is to make life as comfortable and as easy as possible for them. That’s my passion. They’re the reason I’m here.” Western region born-and-bred, Pip has been in this job for the past 11 years, but says a long career in the hospitality industry stood her in good stead for working in aged care. “Essentially, it’s like hospitality because this job is all about looking after the residents’ needs.” Pip’s eyes light up as she talks about the rewards of spending her working day surrounded by socie-

ty’s senior members. “Every day I listen to and hear their stories, and it makes me realise how lucky we are today. I had a resident here who has since died, but was a prisoner of war in Changi (Singapore) – every day I would take him a punnet of strawberries and sit down and listen to his stories.” So it’s been like an 11-year history lesson? “Oh for sure,” she beams. “I could write a book. Some of the stories they tell about having gone through such difficult times in history.” For Pip, this isn’t just a job – each day is a life affirming exercise. “Every day I wake up and say how grateful I am. That’s thanks to this job and the people I’ve met here. It’s made me realise how much we take for granted these days.” As much as she loves her job, Pip says working in aged care isn’t for everyone. “You have to be really patient, and patience is something I’ve had to learn. I come to work at 6am and often don’t leave until after 7pm, because I have to make the time to devote to residents if they stop and want to talk to me – it’s important to have that time to spend with them. You also have to be kind and able to empathise.” Resilience is another essential

` If you have those qualities – kindness, empathy, patience – this can be a very rewarding career. That’s why I’m still here. a requirement in this job, she says. “A lot of older people have no filter, so you need to have your armour on. You need to have respect for the older people you’re caring for, and remember that sometimes life hasn’t been easy for them.” For anyone looking to a career in aged care, Pip says it’s essential to do your homework first. “It’s a job you really have to want to go into, at least if you want to be good at it and effective in your work. Having a heart for it is the first thing you need. You can get qualifications along the way, but if you don’t have a heart for it, it’s never going to be as rewarding. “If you have those qualities – kindness, empathy, patience – this can be a very rewarding career. “That’s why I’m still here. I love it. I’ve been here 11 years and I just couldn’t imagine working anywhere else. The day I get up and don’t want to come to work, that will be the day I walk away.”

ON THE ROAD

Learners in the driver’s seat By JOHN RYAN

DAVID Powe understands the importance of his role in helping people get their learner’s permits. As a former policeman, he’s seen the sometimes devastating consequences for people who find the barriers to getting their license too great to overcome. “Some people sail through their learner’s test but a lot of people can struggle for many different reasons and the last thing we want is people who can’t jump those barriers who then drive unlicensed and escalate their problems from there,” Mr Powe told Dubbo Photo News. He’s coordinator for Bamara’s Driver Licensing Access Program (DLAP) and says the pre-learner course is for people who want to achieve their learner’s permit. “So we go through all the rules and regulations they need to know to pass their tests but also we look at safety aspects. We watch videos of re-creations of accidents and the like and it gives a bit more of an insight for the participants to understand that having a license isn’t a

right, it’s a privilege. It shows them some consequences of doing the wrong thing,” he said. “The format of the licensing system means there’s a cost involved and the DLAP is able to assist – if you do the pre-learner course you get to sit the knowledge test with a fee exemption. “That allows people from a lower socio-economic demographic to get their licenses,” he said. “If you sit the first time and fail, that exemption lasts for three months so you can sit the test as many times as it takes to get through. “Obviously if you sit five or six times and don’t get through, we’ll sit back down and go over the rules again but it takes away that stress of having to come up with another $50 each time to sit the knowledge test, so that gets people on the right path.” Mr Powe said there’s been significant positive feedback from participants who are excited to be able to get their licenses. “I’m like the expectant father when I take them to do their knowledge tests. I’m there supporting them to

do that and when they have those smiles after they’ve passed, it says it all,” he said. “We’ve provided nearly 150 hours of driving mentoring in our vehicles for people to help them get their hours up and the parents are so appreciative of that support. You’ll find a driver is more likely to take instruction from a non-family member than from family so there’s a couple of good things going on there.” The DLAP currently has three vehicles and is looking at another one to try to en-

able the program to provide upwards of 700 to 800 hours of mentoring each month. “I’m looking for volunteers to assist with that because our funding doesn’t cover wages for somebody to sit in with these drivers,” Mr Powe said. “I’ve visited the Rotary Clubs of Dubbo South and West and had a number of people say they’re interested in helping.” Anyone interested in becoming a volunteer assistant to help with the program can call Dave Powe on 1300 613212 or 0418 211666.

Labour of love on the big screen By NATALIE LEWIS WHATEVER he does in life, Jason Yelverton always sinks his teeth in. “I’ve always been a person that takes big bites. Don’t share an apple with me,” he laughs. As a kid, he wanted to be a fighter pilot. “I grew up on a farm and used to watch the jets fly overhead.” His first real job was as an apprentice butcher, a natural progression as it was his father’s occupation. To this day, he still thinks fondly of this time in his life. “I loved it,” he said. “I wasn’t a very good butcher but my boss said I was the best shop butcher.” Mr Yelverton forged good relationships with his customers and being a people person has held him in good stead throughout his career. “It’s helped me in most things in my life – the ability to create and manage relationships. It’s been integral in how I’ve approached it

whether it’s in carpentry or community services.” Mr Yelverton has done a range of different jobs, with each one leading to the next in its own way. He has worked as a men’s counsellor and group worker and youth development officer and was the founder of Uniting Dads for Kids. “I also did carpentry in New Zealand, agriculture in Warren, I ran a transport company and I worked in the mines. It’s been a very varied career. “I’ve never just been in one lane, I believe you don’t have to pick a lane.” It was his role working with youth that led to Mr Yelverton becoming the owner-operator of the Westview Drive-In where a special screening was held during Youth Week 2017. A year later, and he had reopened the retro venue. “Never once did I think I would be here,” he said, describing how the giant screen was always the first thing he saw when driving

over Mugga Hill into Dubbo from his hometown of Dunedoo. Being involved in something so unique has been an interesting journey for Mr Yelverton, who wouldn’t swap it for anything. “You fall in love with things,” he said. “But this is definitely not a Monday to Friday job! It’s a little bit unique, it’s one of three in NSW and it’s the original structure.” Mr Yelverton has aimed to keep everything about the drive-in authentic and he believes that’s what people love about it. “Being involved in something like this is so special. People come here from out of town to experience this drive-in.” Bringing the drive-in up to its present standard after being closed for decades was no easy feat, and the ongoing maintenance is also a lot of work. Fortunately, Mr Yelverton has the support of staff, family and friends behind him. “It was a labour of love but they are the sort of people who just

ONE of Australia’s best-recognised musical talents will perform at Dubbo’s Regional Theatre later this month. It’s part of Tim Freedman’s first regional solo tour to launch The Whitlams’ new single “Man About a Dog”, a track from their upcoming album. The well-loved Aussie music man sat down, electronically, with Dubbo Photo News to share his take on the tour, along with his insights on how the Covid-19 pandemic affected the live music industry. ••• Tell us about this tour and why you believe it’s important to set up the show in regional cities such as Dubbo? When everything changed last year, I got used to playing solo on the piano and telling stories. I started enjoying playing to seated audiences and I’d been to the cities twice, so the next step was to take it out into the country. The lightbulb moment was when we realised the next single was set in the country so it all dovetailed nicely. Covid hugely impacted the entertainment industry and now people in metro areas are hungry for live acts. In the regions there are

far fewer live acts during normal times. Do you think country audiences are so passionate about quality performances because they’re the exception rather than rule given the age-old problem with the tyranny of distance? My favourite shows on the last tour were in Lismore and Castlemaine. We’ve always found country audiences enthusiastic, perhaps because of the distance you’ve mentioned. Lately, the city audiences are coming out and seeing their first acts in a while which has reminded me of the high spirits in the regions. What are you going to deliver for the audience in Dubbo? The Whitlams’ haven’t released an album in 14 years so I’ll be previewing our new single from The Whitlams’ forthcoming album, Gaffage and Clink. It’s the first track to take the boy out of the city and place him firmly in the country – driving through the hills to see a Man About a Dog, just as the drought breaks. I’ll also be playing reworkings of Whitlams’ classics like No Aphrodisiac and Blow Up the Pokies, plus some of my favourite tracks from Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Randy Newman. Tickets are on sale now from: thewhitlams.com/tour/

How secure are you online? Free webinar for business

On the road again with a bucket of funding

BUSINESSES across Dubbo and the central west region are being urged to brush up on their digital awareness, particularly with cyber security being such an ongoing concern in the wake of increased online presence due to COVID-19. A free webinar has been developed by Central West Business HQ aimed at helping business owners and operators to identify and explain the most common threats and how to protect against them. The one-hour online webinar will cover topics such as malware, scam emails, what to do when things go wrong, securing your social media pages, protecting your network/WiFi and staff training. The webinars will run on Wednesday, April 14, and Thursday April 29.

THERE’S nothing like a $26 million injection to smooth the road ahead, and motorists travelling the region’s highways and byways should soon see fewer potholes and more jobs as a result. In our patch, Dubbo Regional Council will get just over $1.3 million to help seal the Old Mendooran Road, while Narromine will snag around $638,000 to work on Farrendale Road and Raeburn Lane. Gilgandra’s Berida Bullagreen Road rehabilitiation will receive $300,000 and a whopping $2 million will go to Walgett for Ellengerah and Lorne roads. Warren and Warrumbungle Shires will receive $272,000 and $698,000 respectively. The funding is being shared amongst 17 councils across the Parkes electorate.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Stay at home fundraiser for Home Stay By JOHN RYAN INGENIA Gardens social club residents have raised $1038.90 for a cause dear to all their hearts. Social club president Susan Whillians said the active group of residents began raising the funds

before Covid-19 struck and Macquarie Home Stay managing director Rod Crowfoot was on hand to receive the cheque. The money raised will go towards bathroom packs and to the new garden area at the area at Macquarie Home Stay.

EMERGENCY REPORT

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

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN

Firie Easter on the job While most people are having fun during the Easter break, or trying to, many of our emergency services personnel are busier than ever, with so many travellers on the roads and family gatherings and other social events which can sometimes get out of hand. This great photo from Narromine’s NSW Fire and Rescue 401 Station shows the crew at a recent call out – always on the job.

Fire season over THE 20/21 Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) has officially ended and while Fire Permits are generally not required outside the BFDP, it varies from area to area, such as in Fire and Rescue NSW jurisdiction, or where the activity may endanger a building. Your local Fire Control Centre can assist with requirements specific to your area. If you’re planning to burn on your property and have all the necessary approvals in place, don’t forget to notify your neighbours and local fire agency at least 24 hours ahead.

Hundreds charged with drink driving I REALLY don’t know what it will take to get the message across about the dangers of drink driving, but I don’t have much sympathy for the 300-plus motorists who were charged across the state during the Easter weekend. Happy double-demerits! Easter Operation 2021 began on April 1 and ended at 11.59pm on Easter Monday, April 5. Double-demerit points were in force throughout the period for speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet offences and officers were also targeting other high-risk driver behaviour, including the Four Ds: drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving. Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander, Assistant Commissioner Karen Webb, said that despite the warning officers charged 310 people across the state with drink driving. “It’s disappointing that there are still people in the community who aren’t getting the message and are putting themselves and others at risk with reckless behaviour,” Assistant Commissioner Webb said. “Our message to road users is that police can be anywhere, anytime throughout the year; and we’ll be targeting high-risk behaviour, including drink, drug, dangerous and distracted driving.” Five people died in crashes on NSW roads during the Easter Operation, two more than last year. A total of 78 people have lost their lives on NSW roads to date this year, compared to 84 the same time last year.

One incidents of note happened in this area. Early on Easter Sunday police stopped the driver of a Toyota Hilux travelling south on Renshaw McGirr Way between Yeoval and Wellington for the purposes of a random breath test. The 40-year-old man allegedly returned a positive result and was taken to Wellington Police Station where a subsequent breath analysis allegedly returned a reading of 0.184. He was issued a Court Attendance Notice for drive with high range PCA and is due to appear at Wellington Local Court on Tuesday, April 20. His licence was suspended. Statistics for the Western Region: z Restraint Infringements – 67 z Mobile phone infringements – 12 z Speed infringements – 744 z Breath Tests – 14,910 z PCA charges – 39 z Fatal Crashes – 0 z Lives Lost – 0 z Reported major crashes – 22 z People injured – 7

No shooting, but alleged assault WEDNESDAY last week kept emergency services in Dubbo flat out. At one incident on March 31 police and paramedics scrambled to the riverbank just behind the Amaroo Hotel after fears a man had been shot. After a flurry on social media, Dubbo Photo News was able to report the man had been the victim of a bashing. If anyone has any information in regard to this incident, please contact Dubbo police.

Dubbo duo’s alleged wild weekend A MAN and a woman from Dubbo have been charged after multiple police pursuits and alleged car-jackings between Goulburn and Parramatta on Easter Saturday. It’s a fascinating tale, but please read on. About 4.10pm on April 3, of-

ficers attached to Hume Police District were conducting routine patrols on the Federal Highway south of Goulburn when they saw a Toyota Hilux allegedly speeding. Checks revealed the utility had been reported stolen from Molong the previous day and a pursuit was initiated after the driver allegedly failed to stop when directed and instead accelerated away from police. The Hilux was followed and road spikes were deployed a short time later south of Marulan, puncturing the front tyre of the ute – incredibly the driver continued to Brayton Road when he and a female passenger got out and allegedly threatened a couple and their baby with a shortened firearm. The man and woman got into that family’s Ford Territory and drove it back onto the Hume Highway, heading north, driving to a service station at Sutton Forest where it crashed into a guard rail. Police will allege the man and woman then approached a black Ford Focus at the service station, threatening a woman and two teenaged girls with the firearm before stealing their car.

About 4.30pm, the car was seen on the Hume Highway at Yanderra, north of Mittagong and police initiated a short pursuit but it was again terminated due to safety concerns. Police will allege that at about 5.45pm the car was being driven along Narellan Road, Mount Annan, where it was involved in a collision with three other cars before leaving the scene. About 6.45pm PolAir tracked the car to Irving Street, Parramatta, where officers from Parramatta Police Area Command, the Public Order and Riot Squad and the Dog Unit arrested the pair, who were taken to Parramatta Police Station. Officers also recovered a shortened firearm. The 33-year-old man was charged with ten offences. The 31-year-old woman was charged with five offences.

Roadshow to address regional crime

A FEW years back NSW Police put a whole new focus on rural crime, setting up a coordinated team of investigators across the state and basing the boss, detective inspector Cameron Whiteside, in Dubbo. Now a new campaign has been launched at the Royal Sydney Show over the Easter Weekend and “Draw the line on regional crime” is the central message. The statistics are damning – in NSW, more than 80 per cent of farmers have reported being a victim of crime, according to new research by the Centre for Rural Criminology, University of New England. Even more critical is the high levels of repeat victimisation, with more than 76 per cent of farmers being a victim of crime on more than two occasions, and more than 23 per cent experiencing crime more than seven times. Crime Stoppers and the NSW Police Force have launched the statewide crime campaign to address awareness of regional crimes, prevention measures and to increase reporting to Crime Stoppers and the police. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.

Ladies granted cash NARROMINE’S Mudyigalang Ladies Group makes beautiful arts and crafts and one of the other strings to their bow is supporting causes through fundraising activities. Now the organisation has scored $4000 in grant funding from the Inland Rail Community Sponsorships and Donations Program. Parkes MP Mark Coulton said the money will be used to replace sewing machines and he says the success of Mudyigalang would encourage other groups in the electorate to apply for future rounds. “It’s pleasing to see Inland Rail giving back to local communities in the electorate and supporting organisations that are part of the social fabric in our region,” Mr Coulton said. “Inland Rail will leave a legacy for regional areas – including Narromine – boosting jobs and economic confidence. “Don’t twiddle your thumbs. Get involved in this program now because the next round is open for applications.” The current round of the Inland Rail Community Sponsorships and Donations program is open until April 30.

AS many as 100 Dubbo College South Campus (DCSC) students drop into the new Breakfast Club there of a morning for a choice of cereals, toast, muffins, juice, hot chocolate and UP&GO’s. “Breakfast club is much more than cereal and juice. It has strengthened our ties within our school community,” DCSC principal Linda Macleod said Technical and Applied Studies (TAS) Assistant Sarah Hamilton says the Breakfast Club isn’t just about feeding the students. “It’s an amazing way to check in with each of them, provide additional positive interactions with staff and send them into the playground and classrooms with a smile and a feeling of fullness, nourishment and contentment. The school has engaged the support of Foodbank NSW/ACT, who supplement the breakfast supplies. After four weeks in Term 1, Foodbank reported 62,000 kgs of fresh produce and breakfast foods had been distributed to more than 330 schools who participate in the ‘School Breakfast 4 Health’ program. Students are encouraged to serve themselves and wash and dry-up any items they use reinforcing essential life skills. The success of the program is being hailed by students and staff alike. The school was recently provided with an abundance of free sweet potatoes through the program which were soon transformed by Ms Hamilton into

Saving the Small Purple-pea By NATALIE LEWIS LEARNING how to boost native plant populations was one of the hot topics at a Central West Local Land Services (LLS) Native Propagation workshop held at Burrendong Botanic Gardens and Arboretum. Booked out many weeks in advance, the workshop featured speakers National Seed Bank curator Tom North and Annabelle Greenup and Anthony O’Halloran from Bilby Blooms who discussed collecting seeds from native plants and seedling maintenance. They also provided information on a local seed collection and propagation program that

is helping boost populations of the endangered Small Purple-pea (Swainsona recta). LLS Land Services Officer Libby McIntyre was impressed with the response to the workshop and told Dubbo Photo News there’s been a lot of interest in native plant propagation in the community, with people coming from Mudgee, Dubbo, Warren and Wellington. “People think it’s fantastic,” she said. “There’s a few people growing their own plants already. It’s great to see how the interest has gathered momentum.” The Small Purple-pea is of particular interest in the Wellington valley and LLS aims

to help stabilise its future. A project is underway to examine growth areas and improve survival of the species. “The Small Purple-pea is threatened by grazing and loss of habitat as it is quite palatable for livestock,” Ms McIntyre explained. The project is focused on assisting the recovery of the Small Purple-pea populations through regional community surveys, improving habitat quality and establishment of new in-situ populations. “Our project is a Federally-funded program which has included raising awareness locally about the endangered plant, monitoring the condi-

tion and extent of existing populations and carrying out on-ground works to protect key populations.” Key sites in the Central West region are around Wellington, Burrendong Dam and Stuart Town. “Seeds were collected under a threatened species licence from local populations late last year which have been sent to the Australian National Botanic Gardens to propagate in the hope of replanting into local populations to increase plant numbers.” For more information about the program and other LLS activities, visit www.lls.nsw.gov. au

SENIORS WEEK FEATURE

Gray pride: Ageing, able and As part of this week’s celebration of society’s more experienced members, JEN COWLEY spoke to a busy bunch of “seniors” who are living proof that getting older doesn’t necessarily mean getting slower, and that staying active, interested and connected is the best anti-ageing medicine there is.

BRIAN MOCKLER A semi-retired legal practitioner and consultant, Brian is a Gilgandra Shire councillor, an active member of Lions in Tooraweenah, where he’s also a life member of the Show Society, and sits on the board of the Western Cancer Centre Foundation. Having lost his wife in 2014, he is also an Ovarian Cancer Ambassador who knows life can be short and there’s not a minute to waste. I’ve just reclassified myself as a “junior senior” (laughs) – I’m 66 and I’m what you’d call semi-retired, I guess, although for me that means having three jobs in which I’m employed by others and I’m also self-employed. Life can be short, I know that

 It’s a misconception that getting older necessarily means slowing down...  – Brian Mockler

all too well. My wife Margaret lost a three-and-a-half-year battle with ovarian cancer in 2014 – far too young. We had both been involved in community life, and that community structure was really important to me when she died – I had to be busy and active, and still do. It’s crucial to get and stay involved. The bones may get a bit weary as we get older but fortunately I’m generally healthy without any issues. Physical activity is one thing, but it’s so important

to keep mentally young. I need to keep myself mentally active and stimulating my mind and thought processes – I’m constantly thinking, particularly when I’m driving, about plans, problem solving, working various things out, working out solutions, devising plans – I use that time to keep my mind active. It’s a misconception that getting older necessarily means slowing down. Assuming that you’re healthy and you don’t have any issues – mental, physical, social or economic – that impact your ability to be active, then there’s no reason you have to start winding down just because you’re ageing. ••• NARELLE AND GARY GRANT Both retired teachers and now in their 70s, this switched-on couple stays connected with community and abreast of current affairs, which they say helps keep them young at heart. Both interesting and interested in life, they believe age is a state of mind and that the planet is in good hands if the younger generations are encouraged to take the reins. Narelle: It’s very important to us both to keep active both physically and mentally. I was brought up in a family where longevity is a given – my grandfather was still carrying buckets of water from the creek for his veggie patch when he was 96 – and my parents never considered themselves old. In her 90s, my mother used to refuse to buy certain clothes because they were “old lady clothes”. So they were all young at heart, and that’s an outlook they passed on – that age is a state of

 I think it’s a privilege to get older...  – Narelle Grant

mind, it’s just a number, you’re only as old as you feel...all those clichés. I’m a breast cancer survivor, and that’s taught me to make the most of each day even when it’s just kicking back and smelling the roses.

I don’t feel old and I don’t intend to ever be negative about my age as some of my peers are. I think it’s a privilege to get older. So many people don’t get to reach our age. We’re still very interested in current affairs and we keep abreast of what’s going on – you can take us out of the politics, but you’ll never take the politics out of us! I do think the world is in good hands with the younger generations, and I think they’ll

probably do a darn sight better than some of us have done in managing the planet. Gary: I don’t feel any different to the way I did 20 years ago. I agree with Narelle that age is very much a state of mind. We still keep up with current affairs and what’s going on in the world and that helps to keep us young. It’s important to know what’s going on around you. I think young people are wonderful and I take my hat off to them because they have some big challenges ahead. I do think the younger generations have become disenchanted and frustrated with traditional politics – I think there’s been a loss of faith in our political systems, but that might swing around and we’ll see some new parties with fresh ideas. •••

DR JOE CANALESE At 73, Dr Joe is now fully retired, but only from clinical practice. He was visiting Medical Officer at Dubbo Base Hospital for more than 35 years, and the last ten years of his working life was spent as the Associate Dean of the School of Rural Health. He now sits on the board of the area health service, the board of the Western Cancer Centre Foundation, and has just accepted a position on the board of Orana Gardens (aged care facility). An active Rotarian, each year he spends time in Nepal where he is now working to establish a heart clinic as part of a Rotary project. Your ability to stay physically active depends on your health, but you need to maximise what you have because it will otherwise rapidly deteriorate. The same can be said for mental capacity. The more you force your brain to function, the more likely it is to stave off dementia and other conditions associated with ageing. The best thing about retirement for me is that I have lots of time to do what I enjoy doing and I no longer feel like I have

to be in two places at once. I can choose to be involved in quite a few things that I couldn’t when I was occupied 40-60 hours a week with work. I can volunteer for more things. One of my great enjoyments is being involved in the community, and before I retired I just couldn’t get involved in all the things I wanted to. I’m also very fortunate that some of our family is here and we now have grandchildren, with whom I spend an inordinate amount of time enjoying the privilege of having them around and looking after them and seeing them grow. It’s a misconception that life begins to wind down once you hit retirement age. Life continues to be great fun if you so choose and if your health allows. There are so many things you can do in your community. Remember that you still have value and you can use that value by giving your time. I always get more out of volunteering and getting involved in things than I actually give. ••• TRUDY HANSON Just last week, at the age of 76, Trudy Hanson stepped down from nearly a quarter of a decade at the helm of not-

for-profit organisation NALAG (National Association for Loss and Grief) as its CEO. She may be retiring from full time work, but she has no intention of retiring from life or from using her experience to help others. I worked so long because I thought I could make a difference and I think I have. Even now, I believe that my 30 years of knowledge and experience in the field of loss and grief shouldn’t be lost, so I intend to continue to work with NALAG and elsewhere in whatever capacity I can to be able to use that ability to be able to advise or mentor or use my skills to keep helping people. I think it’s a mistake that lots of organisations make that they don’t capitalise on the intellectual capital the older members have. A lot of that capacity walks out the door when older people leave the business, or the organisation, or firm or department and is lost. There’s also this notion that when you turn 65, you’re past your use-by date. So many people talk themselves into old age by retiring but age is just a number. Working with younger people has also helped keep me active and in touch. The energy that

` So many people talk themselves into old age by retiring but age is just a number.... a – Trudy Hanson young people bring helps motivate you. I don’t think there’s been a day over the past 23 years (as manager and CEO of NALAG) that I haven’t wanted to get up and go to work and be productive. I was also the state director of volunteer emergency CB radio organisation CREST (Citizens Radio Emergency Service Teams) for 20 years, as well as both the local and divisional controller for State Emergency Service (SES). So I’ve devoted much of my life to helping others, and just because I’m “senior” doesn’t mean I don’t still have value and capacity to continue to do so. If you’re turning 65 and you feel you can still contribute and you feel you’re doing a good job at something you enjoy doing, keep going. *Disclosure: Jen Cowley sits in a voluntary capacity on the boards of NALAG and the Western Cancer Centre Foundation.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Western NSW invited to host a big morning tea The Editor, We know that the past year has been incredibly challenging and that many Australians have experienced feelings of isolation and distress due to the pandemic. That’s why Cancer Council’s Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea has never been so important. It’s the perfect opportunity to check-in with friends, family and colleagues over a cuppa and a bite to eat, while raising vital funds to support people affected by cancer. The official day to host a 2021 morning tea is Thursday, 27 May. However, you can register to host at any time throughout May or June. Whether it’s at home with friends or family, a simple morning tea in the office with workmates, virtually, or a gathering in a local community or at school, you can host a Biggest Morning Tea your way this year. These connections are particularly vital for people affected by cancer. A recent Cancer Council NSW study revealed an increase in distress levels among callers to our 13 11 20 Infor-

mation and support line due to the pandemic. And preliminary results of a national study illustrate that between June and September 2020, over 60 per cent of 683 cancer patients and survivors reported feeling isolated some of the time or often since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea began in 1994, millions of Australians have come together in support of those affected by cancer. We have hosts across the country who have supported us for over 28 years! This generosity enables us to continue our work in cancer research, prevention programs, advocacy and support services. For more information or to register, please visit biggestmorningtea. com.au or call 1300 65 65 85. And if you or a loved one needs support following a cancer diagnosis, please reach out to our 13 11 20 Information and Support line. We’re here for you.

The serfs and the lords of the manor ADVERTORIAL

FROM THE BOOKSHELVES ] By DAVE PANKHURST, The Book Connection

In these modern times we generally think that society has changed so much since the days of the Kings of Europe, the Middle East and Asia dominated their societies. Other countries had chieftains – their peoples were dominated by the decision process of those leaders. Ken Follett is a captivating author – one of his books is “The Pillars of the Earth” in which he writes about southern England in early times where the lords of the manors dictated how the poor people (the Serfs) lived. The Serfs were paid a pittance for their work, if at all. Evolving circumstances gave rise to the fight for the Magna Carta and changes in the way society at the time became structured. Not a lot has changed over time. Across the world we have those who rise to power, others on the so-called award wage, those who prefer to live on the dole, and those who live on the streets.

The Lords of the Manor today can be likened to wealthy business people and politicians, but the division of power and influence continues. A preview of Jan Eeckhout’s book “The Profit Paradox”, due to be released in June, argues that “the rise of the mega-profitable corporations makes us poorer”. Eeckhout studies how market power hurts the average working people, and offers concrete solutions for fixing the problem and restoring a healthy economy. He writes that “wages are stagnant and prices are rising, so that everything from a bottle of beer to a prosthetic hip replacement costs more”. The text describes how this is due to a small number of companies exploiting an unbridled rise in market power – “the ability to set prices higher than they could in a properly functioning, competitive market place.” Parallel to this, read Danny Caine’s new book “How to Resist Amazon & Why”. The author is the owner of a bookstore in Lawrence, Kansas and explains many aspects of Amazon forcing down the prices it pays publishers (and then regular booksellers are charged more to help the publisher stay in business), and the strategies used to deliver customer orders. In the USA they hand over packages to distribution companies who contract/short pay

the personnel and force delivery within 24 hours. Danny Caine examines the culture of book shoppers, citing that many support him by ordering in books that he didn’t have. Others browse books from his shelves, then leave to go home and buy the book from Amazon. Governments at all levels do not seem to have grasped the notion that the voting public have a major influence on the economy with their credit cards. Voting online to make purchases has seen major changes in the occupancy rates of retail properties, a decline in the trading status of small towns, and a massive rise in freight and mail deliveries to the home premises. For the general public, if you wonder why it costs so much to mail by Australia Post today, that is another subsidy to help Amazon and other big warehouse traders.

Did you notice a Sydney press article recently indicating that construction of the biggest warehouse in Australia had been completed in Sydney, ready to be fitted out to accommodate Amazon Australia. It spans 200,000 square metres, the size of 24 rugby league football fields, and will be fully completed in Kemps Creek, Western Sydney by the end of 2021. We don’t have to wonder why the Dubbo CBD has so many empty trading premises. Amazon includes the inventory of the largest second-hand book store in Scotland, located in Wigtown, by listing its books. Shaun Bythell wrote “Confessions of a Bookseller” in which he details the implications on his business as he mails the order direct to the buyer and Amazon takes its share of the money. Amazon expands its influence on the book industry by acting as focal search en-

gine for a number of businesses. When one looks at the Lords of the Manor issue further, Danny Caine’s book includes various non-book activities that are of concern. He writes that Amazon is prominent in the development of automated face recognition technology and raises the security issues created by using their “Rekognition” technology. And the Amazon Marketplace, which is twice the size of Amazon itself, is seen to be a ‘government’ in its operations. The author goes on to detail the activities and the influence that one does not otherwise hear about. It’s worth reading, particularly that Amazon pays so little in Federal taxes. The media spends so much time “scrutinising governments with an intense scrute” (credit to Spike Milligan) that corporations have been allowed to rise to real power. David Korten is the author of “When Corporations Rule the World” which analyses “how global corporations dominate people and their governments, and the miserable conditions that result when the few rule the many”. It is seen as a devastating critique of the global economy. Ten years ago we secured some posters from the American Booksellers Association which say, quote, “Thank you Amazon. We Independent Bookstores will take it from here.” Our thanks go to all those customers who vote for us with their credit cards (and cash). Enjoy your browsing, Dave Pankhurst

IN FOCUS THE THUMBS Thumbs Up to the management and staff & of Pizza Cravings/Coffee Cravings/ Decadent Donuts, what a huge leap of faith to reopen at the neglected Shell service station in West Dubbo.The transformation is an absolute credit to all your hard work, blood, sweat and tears. It’s such a relaxing family space and the best pizzas in Dubbo – all the very best of luck, you deserve it.

Thumbs Up to the Dubbo Car Club for hosting the Toyota drags at Bodangora on Easter Saturday. The Toyota Nationals is a great event which brings visitors, money and goodwill to Dubbo each and every year so it’s great to see the local car club giving Toyota owners from all over Australia a chance to test their machines out on the dragstrip.

Midnight Fun Contributed by LINDA CHRISTOF WIDESPREAD rain didn’t stop people travelling from as far afield as Cobar, Mudgee, Binnaway and Peak Hill to enjoy the Midnight Gang by CDP Kids at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. The four performanc-

es were enjoyed by more than 1400 people across four performances on March 23 and 24 and the feedback from those who attended was that it was great entertainment for all the family. Right: Noah, Josh, Otto, Caleb and Cath Peeters

Thumbs Up to Western Plains Zoo, what a show it put on for our family and all the other tourists who come to your city for Easter. And what glorious weather. We’ll be back and we’ll tell our friends.

Thumbs Down to all the cafes and eateries that don’t open on many days during the Easter long weekend when there are multitudes of tourists in town from all over the place. What sort of message does it send, it looks like Dubbo isn’t open for business.

difficult circumstances and always with a smile.

Thumbs Up to Devil’s Hollow pub and brewery for a great feed on a very busy weekend, you were so ﬂat out yet our family group was served beautiful food, quickly, and with great good humour.

Thumbs Up to mayor Ben Shields. The other councillors need to leave him alone. He’s doing a great job for Dubbo. I’ll be voting for him.

Thumbs Up to Chapman Carpet Cleaning. He’s a bloody legend with such quick and efficient service and a job well done.

Thumbs Up to deputy mayor Stephen Lawrence and the other six councillors who stood up to the mayor, nearly all of Dubbo is behind you.

Thumbs Down and shame, shame to the councillors who called for the mayor to stand aside for not having the patience to wait until the next council election to have their say. Instead they got the knives out... reminiscing of the Gillard, Rudd era. Karma awaits you.

Thumbs Up to the councillors who’ve called for everyone to come forward if they have had issues about the behaviour of any councillor. I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes. Let the truth be told.

Bird on a (barbed) wire IS it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a magpie or a peewee? Well, it’s a bird but there’s always a bit of a debate as to what to call these little black and white feathered friends. We’d love to hear from any experts out there, but we believe this little one, captured by Steve Cowley’s lens, is a Magpie-lark which, according to birdsinbackyards.com is often referred to as a peewee because of the sound of its distinctive calls. “The name magpie-lark is misleading because the species has no link with either magpies or larks.” Apparently, while both the garden-variety magpie and the magpie-lark are both black and white, the latter is noticeably smaller. Either way, this little guy was enjoying a ring-side seat at the recent Macquarie Mud Run when it caught Steve’s attention.

Moon lands on Wongarbon windmill Most of the photos former Dubbo local Peter Swanson takes these days are of the giant ﬁsh he catches off the south-eastern Queensland coast, but when he was back in town this week he called in to see his old mate Mark ‘Pecker’ Woodley at his Billy’o Bush Retreat just outside Wongarbon and took these amazing photos of the moon trying to knock over Pecker’s windmill. It’s amazing the quality of photos you can capture with the new generation of phones.

History on the move: One of our staff photographers took this mid-morning snap of the grand old Westpac bank building in the centre of town. In a sign of the times, the bank has decided this branch will move just a few dozen metres south down Macquarie Street to co-locate at the local St George Bank. Westpac and St George banks merged in 2008.

Dubbo City Crematorium

Few people realise the extent of a funeral director’s role. It begins when we are first called, and ends only when we are satisfied the ceremony is as perfect and complete as we can make it, and the wishes of the family are fully met. Approximately forty hours of time is taken in order to professionally arrange and conduct every funeral. Even after the funeral service has occured we continue to care for families by providing memorials for loved ones and guiding them through the grief process over the coming weeks, months and years. We pride ourselves on our ongoing commitment to care for grieving families & individuals as though they were members of our own family. The following is a general list of services we are able to provide: • • • • •

Prompt and personal attention Transfer of the deceased from the place of death to the funeral home. Personal consultation with the family about funeral arrangements and details for the service.

Seniors Festival 2021 How do you receive Meals on Wheels?

Meals on Wheels Dubbo have been delivering nutritious hot and frozen meals to local seniors for more than 57 years, including to Narromine and Trangie. “For our clients Meals on Wheels is more than just a meal as we also provide transport and social support, so our clients can maintain social connectedness and independence while living at home longer. We can support clients to do their shopping or attend appointments,” Dubbo Meals on Wheels service manager Peter English said. "We also work with our local hot meal and frozen meal providers to ensure availability of a range of menu options for clients,” he said.

A low maintenance, high relaxation lifestyle

Meals on Wheels is available to frail, aged people and their carers. We are thankful for our wonderful volunteers, who take the time to assist the elderly in the communities we serve to remain independent and in their homes through our meal deliveries, social support and transport services. "Often we are the only daily contact and we are concerned about our client’s welfare. If the client is not home as expected, we contact their next of kin in case there may be a problem,” Mr English said. For more information, call 6882 4083.

Elder abuse can be physical, Kintyre Lodge nursing staff on duty 24/7 emotional, sexual or ﬁnancial Elder abuse can take many forms. It can be physical, emotional, sexual or financial. Often it is a combination of these. The most common form of elder abuse is financial, which often occurs alongside emotional or psychological abuse. Abusers are most often family members, such as an adult child, spouse or grandchild. But it can also be a friend, neighbour, paid carer or volunteer. Everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. If you

are worried about your situation, or that of someone else, you can contact 1800 353 374 or talk to us. As people get older, it is not unusual for them to become more reliant on others and, therefore, more vulnerable to abuse or neglect. With 20 percent of Australians expected to be aged over 65 by 2050, it is increasingly urgent that we learn to recognise and deal with the problem of elder abuse.

Kintyre Lodge is a leader in residential aged care , ensuring there are qualified Registered Nurses (RN) and Enrolled Nurses (EN) on duty, 24 hours a day to provide the quality and standard of care Kintyre and family members expect. “At Kintyre we have a really strong focus on high quality clinical care. We have a care manager and clinical leader who are Registered Nurses leading the team. We also have RNs on all shifts, 24/7, supported by ENs and Personal Care Workers (PCWs),” Kintyre Living Customer Liaison Manager Danielle Chapman said.

“We also offer physiotherapy Monday to Friday and scheduled podiatry services. We take great pride in the high-quality personal care that we provide. That sets us well ahead in Dubbo to ensure all the residents are fully supported as far as their clinical and also, their emotional and wellbeing needs. Our team also includes a Quality Officer who oversees staff training and education programs and also works with our Clinical Consultant to monitor our clinical governance.

Gone are the days when it was expected that children should be seen and not heard. Grandparents today enjoy their grandkids’ company, playing games, singing, reading out loud and sharing ideas or life lessons. “Sadly, many grandparents are missing those magical moments because of hearing loss,” Audiology Dubbo Hearing Centre owner and audiologist Donna Smith said. “We understand why many people initially resist the idea of getting hearing aids, but for those who decide to address their hearing loss and successfully use hearing aids it can be life changing,” "We are independent and locally owned, so we offer old-fashioned

and personalised care. “Hearing loss can creep up on you too, so it’s often family who share concerns that their loved one is missing out. There are many hearing aids and device options available today. Technology allows connection to mobile phones, televisions and more. Looking after our hearing health also means we are looking after our social and brain health; maintaining our ability to communicate with those we love the most.

Primary carers of loved ones living with dementia, need a break too Catholic Healthcare’s (CHL) Dementia Home Club offers essential support to primary carers of loved ones living with a dementia diagnosis. The Home Club is a daytime respite service where staff are trained and experienced in dementia support. Staff offer a planned and coordinated program of activities aimed at providing meaningful stimulation and socialisation for people living with a dementia diagnosis. The respite service allows people with a dementia diagnosis to continue living at home longer, but also gives primary carers a much-needed opportunity to take care of themselves too. “One of the major services I look at when meeting people with dementia for the first time is referring them to the Home Club. If I think the person can meet the criteria of actively engaging in stimulating activities, and socialisation then that’s the go,” dementia counsellor Kath Readford said. The Catholic Healthcare Home Club is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 4pm. Phone 68813710.

Let’s talk about pre-paid funerals W Larcombe and Son Funerals recommends prepaid funerals to guarantee that no matter when you die, you will be given the funeral you planned. “Prepaid funerals are different from funeral bonds. Let’s say you arrange a funeral that costs $5850, and that’s all you can put towards it. That’s all you’ll ever have to pay, even if you don’t die for another 20 years; we must honour what you paid for at the time of purchase,” W Larcombe and Son Funerals owner Barbara Carter said. Cemetery fees are not included as these change frequently. Contact W Larcombe and Son Funerals for more information or visit their stand at the Seniors Expo.

A Tradition of Caring

Choices to personalise your funeral needs SHAKESPEARE Funerals is the longest-serving funeral home in Dubbo, renowned for providing a professional and very dignified funeral service for the deceased and their families. Burials, cremations, monuments, prepaids, graveside services, bereavement care and support are just some of the many services available to suit your needs. Shakespeare Funerals manager Laura Carter recommends prepaid funerals as a cost-effective way to plan a funeral to suit your budget. A prepaid funeral plan also fixes costs in today’s dollars, even if your funeral is not for many years to come. However, some exclusions may apply such as cemetery costs. The benefit of prepaying is similar to preplanning as it relieves your family of worry, stress and uncertainty during a difficult time. For more information contact Shakespeare Funerals or visit their stand at the Seniors Expo.

Little wings of angels By KEN SMITH

FOR any parent or guardian, discovering that your precious child has a life-threatening illness can be truly heartbreaking and it’s even harder when the waves of pain come with the emotional and financial strain of being away from your family and home, while your child braves treatment. That’s why the recent Dubbo fundraiser was such a success for Little Wings was so

well supported. Little Wings is a non-profit organisation providing sick children and their families, throughout regional NSW, with free ongoing flight and ground transport during the treatment process. The organisation’s motto is ‘Your Journey is Our Mission’ and they’re able to help thanks to the hard work and generous support of community of partners, volunteers and supporters.

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.

STRANGE BUT TRUE z Johnny Cash’s estate was approached by an advertising company asking for permission to use “Ring of Fire” in an ad for haemorrhoid cream. The request was refused. z Tulips can continue to grow as much as an inch per day after being cut. z A man with severe OCD and a phobia about germs attempted to commit suicide with a gun to his head. Instead of killing him, the bullet eliminated his mental illness without any other damage. It was, of course, a ﬂuke and unlikely to ever happen to anyone again. z Nobody knows how the Academy Awards came to be referred to as “the Oscars”. The earliest mention was in 1932 and became official in 1939. z In 1911, Elmer McCurdy robbed a

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION

passenger train he thought contained thousands of dollars, and was shot by lawmen after making off with just $46. His unclaimed corpse was then embalmed and sold to a traveling carnival. It would be used as a prop or attraction in haunted houses and wax museums for the next 66 years (even showing up on the set of “The Six Million Dollar Man”), until he was finally buried at the famous Boot Hill cemetery in Dodge City, Kansas, USA. z Vanilla flavouring is sometimes made with beaver urine. z American football stars are just as adored in their country as our footy stars are in Australia. But, according to a recent survey, by the time they have been retired for two years, 78 per cent of former American NFL players have gone bankrupt or are under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce.

NOW HERE’S A TIP

z Do you store plastic wrap in the refrigerator? Many home experts will tell you that storing plastic wrap in your fridge or freezer can help with the stickiness factor – the plastic is easier to manipulate and get into place when cold, but still stays put. Try it and see! z Keep soap scum at bay on your glass shower doors with a layer of car wax. But do NOT let the wax get on your shower ﬂoors. That could be unsafe. z Want delicious fried chicken crust but not the dripping oil? Baste chicken pieces with mayonnaise, then dredge in crushed cracker crumbs mixed with a bit of ﬂour. Bake and enjoy. z From contributor L.D.W.: “When I have a recipe, I put all the ingredients on the counter,

and as I use each one, I put it away. My daughter and daughter-in-law like the idea, as they at one time or another, have forgotten an item.” I like that one, too, L.D.W. A well-prepared cook is much more likely to prepare a delicious meal. z Laundry soap – liquids, powder and so on – should be added to the water before clothing. This allows the soap to disperse correctly throughout the water and also can avoid “grease spotting” that sometimes occurs when detergents land on dry fabric. z “Many people have freezers in a garage or storage space that is not temperature or moisture controlled. To keep rust at bay, how about waxing the outside of your standing freezer periodically. Hey, it works for the car!” – G.C. z Send your tips to now-heresa-tip@dubbophotonews.com.au

Gemma Boland (14yrs 100m sprint) and Ella Penman (15yrs 1500m; 800m) brought home silver medals while Jakob Petterson ran brilliantly to secure third in the 400m. Club coaches Mark Penman and Sarah Ryan praised everyone who competed over the weekend. “They should all be very proud of their achievements, both for yourselves and the club. Thanks to Theresa and others who took photos and kept our supporters up to date.” While only a small number will be heading off

to the Nationals in two weeks, Mark and Sarah had encouraging words for all those who participated. “For some it was their first State titles so the experience will be invaluable as their careers progress.”

By GEOFF MANN DUBBO CYMS unbeaten run in the Western Rams competition ended at Waratah Park in Orange on Thursday night – the Fishies beaten by Bathurst St Pats 20-16. St Pats had to hold off the determined Fishies who turned a 16-4 deficit into a 16-all scoreline just minutes from time, but sheer weight of possession and three line drop outs won by the Bathurst boys allowed Tyler Colley to scoot over out wide for the match-winner. CYMS will meet fellow “fish” Orange CYMS in Orange on Saturday night to kick off the premiership season.

TOUCH FOOTBALL

Touch was “truly social” By GEOFF MANN CLUB President Neil Webster and some fellow “touchies” entered totally into the fun of the annual Gala Day. They showed they are not only good sportspeople but “good sports” as well! Neil was very grateful for the opportunity to host the event. “Thankfully the weather held out and we had 15 teams who enjoyed the competition and played with a lot less pressure than in regular rounds. “Thank you also to the volunteers who helped put the event together and run it on the day and all the referees who came to participate – no refs, no game,” Neil added.

By GEOFF MANN THREE high quality grand finals provided the perfect finish for Wellington Touch enthusiasts. C grade built to an exciting finale after a game in which the lead was constantly changing. The Cowboys scored two late tries to win a thriller against the Pups by 5-3. In B grade it wasn’t so simple as the Alphas and Wolf Pack showed no team was going to budge! The decision came after teams were locked up 3-3 at full-time and an initial two-minute 4-person drop-off. When scores were still deadlocked the teams each lost another player. The Wolf Pack finally stole the golden point and a 4-3 victory

in a match where neither team deserved to lose. A Grade was a different story. The Grand scooted out to a 2-0 lead against Fast Eddies – to their credit, Eddies clawed their way back to 2-all but in a grand finish the top team scored three late tries to secure the trophy 5-2. Coordinator Alistaire Thompson thanked everyone who had participated during the season – players, referees, recorders and game day managers and others who supported Touch during the year. “It was great to have so many back on the field. It was really heartening to see everyone having fun playing touch again. We can’t wait for next season.”

BASKETBALL

Neve’s back!

By GEOFF MANN

NEVE Tratt left Dubbo for Brisbane on a basketball scholarship in 2017, after some sensational performances at the Junior National Championships. Neve and her local coach, Claire Hargreaves combined to bring home gold medals from the titles. 12 months later, the 191cm 16-year-old was studying at St John Paul College in Queensland. The talented basketballer was selected to captain Queensland at the Nationals in 2018. Neve is having a gap year at home with her parents Bonnie and Paul so she has taken the opportunity to give something back to her junior club. “I asked Neve if she had time to run a girls’ skills session at Sports World each week. Lucky for us, she has

made time on a Monday to work with our older girls – U14 and up – and is doing a great job,” Dubbo Basketball Coaching Director, Claire Hargreaves beamed. “Neve is a rare talent as a player but I have been extremely happy with what she brings to the training court since she’s been home. She has so much experience and our players are learning about what it takes to move from club to region and onto senior representative honours.” Our story and photo of six Dubbo basketballers who have been chosen to attend a talented Athletes Program (TAP) at the Narrabeen Sports Centre in May, is a tribute to the work that Claire and her coaching staff, with support from Neve in recent months, has been able to achieve.

Castlereagh League kicks off in Dunedoo By GEOFF MANN ROBERTSON Oval, Dunedoo is the venue for a clash between the defending premiers and the 2019 champions. Dunedoo Swans stunned the Gilgandra Panthers to claim their second title in six years; Coonabarabran Unicorns did the same the year before at Gilgandra! While the Swans maintained momentum in the off-season and are ready to defend their title, the Unicorns were unable to field a side last year but have returned with plenty of enthusiasm. Ben Thompson, the 2020 Castlereagh League Player of the Year, steps into the captain-coach role while favourite son, Jarvis Watton will be leading the Unicorns in their first season back. Castlereagh League president Bryson Luff says the clubs’ lineups are still unknown but the former champs could pull a surprise out of the bag. Unicorn’s boosted by NRL player’s return “Coonabarabran junior Kyle Turner has registered with the Unicorns after a successful career with the South Sydney Rabbitohs.

“Kyle represented the NSW Indigenous 16s before being snapped up by the Rabbitohs. He played all his junior footy in

Coonabarabran and has the distinction of playing in the famous cardinal red and myrtle green of the oldest club in Australia when

Souths won their first premiership in 50 years in 2014.” Turner’s presence, if he does indeed take the field, will create enormous interest in the Castlereagh league. Robertson Oval was the home ground of one of Dunedoo’s most famous players, Robert “Dick” Large and a Memorial Day in his honour plus the chance to welcome the Swans back home should ensure a huge crowd. The Swans are also in good form after claiming the recent Knockout in Binnaway. Their clash with a Unicorns team that also performed well in the knockout makes it a double not to be missed. In other Round 1 action, knockout winners Cobar tackle the Trangie Magpies whilst the re-invigorated Baradine Magpies are upbeat about their trip to Gulgong. The ‘Pies and Terriers are keen to blow out the cobwebs after a year in isolation so league starved locals are sure to fill Billy Dunn Oval. Coonamble Bears are at home to the Binnaway Bombshells while the ever-dangerous Gilgandra has the bye.

The fastest legs in Oz! By GEOFF MANN DUBBO'S domination of the 2021 Australian Elite and Under 19 Track Cycling Championships continued in Brisbane recently. The local riders returned with gold and silver and bronze after stunning the rest of Australia on the steep indoor velodrome. Danny Barber ensured his last titles as an U19 rider were never to be forgotten, going back-to-back in the Time Trial and Kieran after breakthrough wins in the age group in 2020. Danny's win gave NSW a trifecta on the podium. The enormously strong sprinter broke the Australian Championship record on his way to achieving a rare winning treble. Dan-

ny was unbeaten throughout the Flying 200 Sprint preliminaries before taking his third gold medal after head-to-head rides in the finals. For good measure, Danny rode second wheel for NSW in the Team Sprint, missing a fourth gold by just.01 sec to South Australia. Dylan Eather was back to his best after a fall in the Road Titles, powering to first place in the Scratch Race on day 1 and following up with a gritty second to Danny Barber in the Time Trial. Both riders stopped the clock under 1.03, a pivotal time for U19s according to officials. Dylan finished his rides just off the podium after a close loss to Cameron Rogers in the Individu-

Castlereagh Women’s Rugby League Awards AFTER the frustrations of 2020, the league’s best will be recognised at a function in Gilgandra on Sunday. This will precede a meeting to seek interest in a standalone Women’s Rugby League Club in the Castlereagh / Barwon area.

al Pursuit. Tyler Puzicha rode with Team Dubbo at the Championships. Riding in her first year in the 19s, the Bathurst cyclist chalked up some

valuable experience for next year. The strong all-rounder took her chances to bring home four medals – gold in the Team Sprint and bronze medals in the Team Pur-

suit as well as Individual Sprint and Time Trial events. Haylee Fuller's jam-packed year that included competing as the only Under 19 rider in the Tour Down Under as well as state and national road championships anchored the Blues' Team Pursuit which finished third. She was sixth in the individual pursuit and also her favoured Poins Races. Kurt Eather won a bronze medal with the NSW Elite men's Team Pursuit on the opening night then went close to claiming the 160 lap Points Race, finishing with a gutsy final sprint to get a silver.
