Men’s Shed mariners

head-on down the mighty Murray for a good cause

ubbo’s a long way from our greatest river, but that didn’t stop our Men’s Shed from giving a helping hand to a special fundraising event passing through the Golden West recently.

The local group donated hundreds of dollars to a most unusual charity idea: sailing a men’s shed down the mighty Murray, to raise funds for vital medical research.

The local lads of the Dubbo Shed, also put on a do for the Pittsworth Men’s Shed, from near Toowoomba in southern Queensland, who were on their way to their “It’s a Bloke Thing” prostate cancer charity Shed Down The Murray adventure.

“It went well, we hosted about 12 of the people involved in the event,”

Dubbo Secretary John Gibson said. “They called in on the way through. We donated $500, which was good because this figure was actually doubled by the Federal Government,” he added.

The Pittsworth & District Men’s Shed constructed the river raft from composite fibre (fibreglass) for the five-day river trip down our best-known waterway from Yarrawonga to Swan Hill.

To aide their fundraising, however, they first travelled down the Newell Highway, visiting Men’s Sheds and communities along the way, spreading the word on prostate cancer and the Men’s Shed movement. This included stops at Goondiwindi; Moree; Coonabarabran; West Wyalong; and Nar-

randera, before heading off on their week-long float.

Prostate cancer is a major issue for older men in Australia, with 66 Aussie blokes diagnosed each day. Of these, 10 lose their lives.

The local visit included Dubbo men’s Shed President Kevin Sinclair with Pittsworth and a discussion of the disDistrict Men’s Shed’s Merv Hinneberg ease and the impact on Australian families and its often-undetected symptoms. Early detection is key.

“They were certainly prepared… they came in five different vehicles, and they’re going for 600– 800km down the river,” John said.

“The raft was on the back of the trailer. It’s basically built-over plastic drums, which is how it stays afloat,” he concluded.

Above: Dubbo Men’s Shed recently donated a cheque for $500 to the Pittsworth and District Men’s Shed for their charity run down the Murray River.

Book Week promises to Read, Grow and Inspire C

By NOAH RANDELL

hildren’s Book Week: a time when students and teachers alike celebrate books, especially those of Australian authors and illustrators.

Ever since it was established in 1945 by the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA), Book Week has been cherished by all. From 19-25th August, children across the country will partake in numerous fun activities such as parades where students dress up as their favourite characters; book swaps; and storytelling; all of which revolve around this year’s theme: “Read, Grow, Inspire.”

The Macquarie Regional Library is also celebrating and entering fully into the spirit of Book Week, as each item borrowed from the library between the 7-27th August will be accompanied with a free take-and-make craft kit inspired by the Book Week shortlisted titles.

The library will also host ‘Maker Monday’ sessions on Monday 14th, 21st and 28th, where kids are invited to come into the library and build engaging crafts from the kits, including an Australia Map sand art; a DIY jigsaw puzzle; and a Sticker by Numbers giraffe.

Book Week is a vital part of Australian culture, as it highlights the joy of reading and commemorating the important part literature plays in all of our lives.

Have your “village voice” heard for district’s future generations ‘IT takes a village to raise a child’ is an old African proverb, highlighting how important these smallest and oldest of human communities have been in shaping our society. Recognising the vital role of this social unit, village residents from across Dubbo Regional Council’s Local Government Area are now being invited to contribute their stories to a new oral history project.

Stories of Village Life will use voice recordings to capture the living histories of village residents so as to preserve voices and stories for generations to come.

“Through the sharing of memories and stories in a recorded interview, oral histories provide a means of capturing lived experiences, giving a voice to our past,” Dubbo’s Local Studies Officer Simone Taylor said. “By capturing these memories today, we can make sure they aren’t

lost when people pass away or leave the area,” she added.

Facilitators of the project will preserve the interviews in formats that are the industry-standard for archiving, ensuring their long-term survival for future generations.

“They can help inform people in the years to come about what’s changed and what’s stayed the same in our villages,” Miss Taylor explained. “It’s just one way we can help show how much we cherish the smaller communities in our area, through sharing their unique stories and experiences.”

Geurie and Wongarbon will be the first villages to have their stories recorded with residents invited to get in touch with the project teams to find out more.

“During the development of the Dubbo Regional Cultural Plan, also known as SPARC, the village communities were pas-

sionate in highlighting a need to capture the unique histories in our villages,” Miss Taylor said.

“A project such as this will not only save these precious stories, but provide a way to share and promote them, increasing our understanding of our whole community and adding more voices to our regional story.”

The Cultural Development Team is planning a visit to each of the villages as part of the project rollout.

The interviews will then be published on the Western Plains Cultural Centre website where they will be accessible for both research purposes and the enjoyment of the general public.

Those interested in finding out more about participating in the Stories of Village Life project should contact Local Studies Officer Simone Taylor at simone.

Recognising the importance of our villages to community life, Dubbo Regional taylor@dubbo.nsw.gov.au or on Council’s Local Studies Officer Simone Taylor is now seeking residents to contribute their stories to a new oral history project. PHOTO: SUPPLIED (02) 6801 4444.

Online town plans show how Central West communities grew Boom town Geurie!

Historic town plans for settlements including Dubbo, Wellington and Geurie have just been digitised and made available for the first time on the State Library of NSW’s website.

They are a treasure trove of detailed contemporaneous primary material from the earliest days of European settlement.

THEY may appear as dry as parchment, but historic town plans for settlements including Dubbo, Wellington, and Geurie have just been digitised and made available for the first time on the State Library of NSW’s website. And they are a fascinating treasure trove.

The local documents are among more than 4600 historic plans for a total of 460 regional towns in the state, and they are a treasure trove of detailed contemporaneous primary material from the earliest days of European settlement, the State Library’s maps expert Maggie Patton explained.

“Subdivision plans are an absolute goldmine for genealogists and local historians, as they allow us to place ourselves in the past… on a street, in a town, where we once lived, where our ancestors established themselves,” Ms Patton said.

“What’s more, they are filled with fascinating details like property prices, town descriptions and sometimes a photograph,” she added.

Subdivision plans were generally ephemeral items, usually discarded once a development site was sold.

Luckily, however, the State Library has acquired and preserved these 100-year-old plans for the people of NSW and beyond, to access and use.

Dating from as early as the 1880s up to the 1930s, the plans were produced by real estate agents and auctioneers to advertise new subdivisions and land sales. They range from hand-drawn surveyors’ plans to beautifully designed colour posters.

“They provide a fascinating visual record of how your town was imagined by town planners of the past, and how it has developed and

expanded over time,” Ms Patton explained. “Some of the plans are annotated with sales figures, and you can see how public transport or access to shops, parks and local attractions influenced the popularity of a town.”

In the land fever that gripped the developing colony, gimmicks and bait strategies were favoured by desperate developers.

“Estate agents used creative marketing strategies to entice people to regional locations by promoting special events with free transport, refreshments or entertainment for the kids,” Ms Patton said.

These records are now publicly available on the library’s website. Search your regional town at: sl.nsw.gov.au/subdivision, copy the link of your chosen map, and send an enquiry to order your print at: library.shop@sl.nsw.gov.au.

Flying vet Campbell in the air for battling bush colleagues

It may seem the most glamorous of occupations, a flying vet navigating his way around our great country in his own light plane but, for Dr Campbell Costello, his work is deadly serious. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED

By DAVID DIXON IT may seem the most glamorous of occupations, a flying vet navigating his way around our great country in his own light plane but, for Dr Campbell Costello, his work is deadly serious.

Currently filling in vet duties in the golden west, Campbell wants to highlight the pressure that our over-worked, over-stretched, and often underpaid, bush vets, have to endure.

“I’ve been working off and on in Dubbo for the last couple of months as a locum, it’s a big part of what I do, flying in and out in a Piper Lance,” Campbell said.

“I cover all the way to North Queensland, the Northern Territory, South Australia, to northern NSW, I flew straight from Townsville to Dubbo direct, it was a fivehour flight time,” he added.

His regime, he believes, is the perfect example of the problems facing increasingly-fewer bush vets covering progressively -larger areas.

“I come from a long line of pilots, my grandfather and father as well, I was a bush kid, and avia-

tion is always a big thing.

“But I only started flying heavily the last couple of years, you simply can’t get people from Sydney to come-up and work in the bush, I’m a big advocate for the industry, and this is one way to offer some solutions,” he added.

He said that vets in the country are under far greater pressure, and with much less government support than a range of other professions, for whom the lack of suitable applicants, is declared a crisis.

“Vets are four times more likely than other groups to take their own lives, they work long hours, are relatively unremunerated, and often suffer emotional and mental anguish due to the lifeand-death nature of their work,” Campbell said.

“There’s a misconception by the public, that they earn big money due to the cost of veterinary care; but they are unsubsidised unlike all other health care sectors, everything they do, they offer, they have to pay to set-up themselves,” he explained.

He said that, with the chronic shortage of workers in rural Aus-

tralia, the Government should look at the same HECS debt forgiveness offered to many in the teaching, nursing, and medical professions.

“Subsidising student loans would make all the difference, if you come back to the country to work, your student debt is forgiven or at least reduced.

“A vet is a surgeon, anaesthetist, and GP, they have to invest in all their own machines, x-rays, blood tests, they don’t get any government support for that,” he added.

Having worked in a varying range of countries including Mongolia, Russia, Argentina, in Alaska, and in a number of African nations, he said that vets are now at the forefront of not just animal health, but national and international bio-security.

“They call it the ‘One-Health paradigm’, where all parts of the health system work together to ensure the safety of animals and humans.

“Simply put, if we don’t have vets out there, the next COVID is just around the corner,” Campbell concluded.

Fletchers Vivien Wu Friendly workplace culture gets Vivien’s thumbs-up

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY NO traffic jams and a 10-minute city are two things Vivien Wu loves about living in Dubbo.

“I lived in Melbourne for a couple of years when I was studying accounting, and there are too many traffic jams there, it used to give me such a head-ache,” she recalled.

“But here, Dubbo is good because I don’t have to worry about that, and I can be anywhere in just 10-minutes,” Ms Wu told Dubbo Photo News.

Compared to where she lived in China, Vivien says Dubbo is much smaller, but she’s enjoying the lifestyle while working at Fletcher International Exports as a member of the financial team who looks after the grain accounts.

Fletchers measure the grain passing through their silos bound for export every year in megatons, and the commodities vary between wheat, barley, chickpeas, fava beans, albus lupins, canola, and

cottonseed.

Vivien’s start with the company, however, happened across the road from the grain terminal, at the Fletchers meat processing plant.

“I worked in the cold boning room at the meat processing plant for about two years from 2016,” she explained.

“Then I took a break before coming back in 2020, to start work in the grain finance department where I’ve been now for over a year-and-a-half,” she added.

Something that first surprised her the most about Fletchers was the multi-cultural workforce at the plant.

“I like the culture here, it’s a multinational culture and there are people from all over the world who come to work at Fletchers.

“When I was in the cold boning room for example, there were people from Europe, some people from Canada, some from Asia; from all over the world,” Ms Wu said.

“I tell people interested in work-

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

ing here, about it being multicultural and that other people are so friendly, I have so many friendly colleagues here in this office and over at the meat processing plant too.

“The supervisors looked after us and the manager was always taking care of everyone, the same at the grain terminal; even Roger Fletcher talks to everyone when he comes here, asking us are we all doing okay, which is very good.”

In the past decade, since Vivien first arrived in Australia to study at Monash University, she got used to how work is done Downunder.

“After my graduation I went back to China for work but because I’d already done some work in Australia, I could already feel a difference and so I came back but I’m planning a trip home next year because I haven’t seen my parents or brother and sister since COVID,” she added.

BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK

MARATHON OF MARATHONS FOR ALICE, JUST IN TIME FOR “RHINO RUMBLE”!

f legendary, though eccentric, Australian running coach, Percy Cerutty’s famous work on keeping healthy, “Be Fit or Be Damned”, was true, then local fitness expert, Alice Pearson is certainly on her way to heaven!

While most of us would consider completing a full marathon an amazing achievement, the young exercise physiologist recently completed a full 30 marathons, one each day, in a calendar month!

Alice is now looking forward to putting all her hard work into the upcoming Dubbo Stampede running festival on Sunday, August 27, saying that her personal “marathon of marathons” has left her in good stead, both physically and mentally, for the local event at Taronga Western Plains Zoo. “Every day in June, I ran a marathon, it’s a bit crazy, I know, but I built up to it

to prove it! Dubbo-based exercise phys

and it wasn’t so hard once I got into it,” she said.

“It was a mix of mental fatigue and physical exhaustion but, in the end, it was a real test of mental endurance and strength,” she said.

Having only become a running enthusiast over the past seven or eight years, the 2022 Stampede was her first, but she’s not looking this year to break any international records.

“I ran it last year, but it’s a family event as well as a serious race, so I try to enjoy the process and the day and not worry too-much about my time,” Alice said.

“Having it at the Zoo also makes it a lot more fun and it’s a local event, so by running, you’re supporting a local organisation,” she added.

As well as the usual marathon, half-marathon, 10km, and five kilometre

iologist, Alice Pearson, after her Tow

races, there’s also the second running this year of the one-kilometre “Wallaby Wheel”; a special event for those with special needs.

The Wallaby Wheel is one of five events at this year’s Stampede that also includes the 42km full-marathon “Rhino Ramble”, the half-marathon “Zebra Zoom”, the 10km “Cheetah Chase and the 5.3km “Dingo Dash”.

Back in training now for the big event, Alice did indulge herself a few days off after her 1260km in one short month.

“I had a week-off running when I got back just to recover, I did a few Pilates, just to help my body recover and to keep stretched,” she said.

“But since then, I’ve got straight back into it!” she enthused.

The Genesis

BY JENET STEWART The Genesis vehicle recently bought the NSW Governor, Margaret Beasley to open the Dubbo Show. The Genesis, or Genesis Motors, LLC., is the luxury vehicle and is manufactured by Hyundai Motor Group.

The Government of Australia has maintained a variety of vehicles for use by the prime minister, other ministers, and the governor-general for transport to official and ceremonial events including the celebration and official opening of the 150th Dubbo Show.

Dubbo Photo News spotted the vehicle at the rear of the members marquee on the Saturday of the show. This prestigious silver vehicle was trimmed with a small Australian flag at the middle front on the bonnet of the vehicle. At the rear,

a golden crown representing the commonwealth – a very impressive sight to see. Inside the seating was a light-coloured two toned leather with beautiful timber trims throughout. A real sight for historic car lovers.

The car was driven to Dubbo and escorted the Governor and her entourage from the airport, delivered her to the Dubbo Show then returned her to the airport afterwards.

The car was then driven back to its home in Sydney.

St Augustine’s Parish School

By Nelly Tink and Dottie Stanley Last week (week 4) the Stage 3 class participated in a 4 day excursion to The Great Aussie Bush Camps. Whilst we were there we conquered our fear of heights, learnt the difference between rational and irrational fear, dived in muddy waters and worked as a team.

The activities that were highly rated by the class were: Giant Swing, High Ropes and Dual Flying Fox over mangrove trees. Night time activities were an abundance of fun where we challenged our trivia minds, teamwork skills and our sly ways of saving our classmates, but sadly they didn’t work.

We are very grateful for the PNF who organised our bus ride to and from Aussie Bush Camps.

Helping find your past Dubbo Family History celebrating 40th anniversary

By DAVID DIXON CURRENT fascination with family history is about knowing where we come from, Lyn Smith of the Dubbo and District Family history Society (DDFHS) believes. “I think it’s just community, to know where we come from,” Lyn said of the universal appeal of genealogy.

If you’re interested in your antecedents, DDFHS is the perfect place to start. Formed in the early 1980s, the society is dedicated to providing resources and information for family and historians researching people and places not just in the Dubbo district, but Australia and worldwide.

Their extensive collection covers cemeteries, local and school histories (many of them from the Western region), family histories, general research guides; as well as local, Australian and overseas research.

The society’s vast library resources have now grown to include an impressive and comprehensive collection of records readily available to all – locally and abroad. The group also runs a range of training courses ranging from how to navigate your way through Australian newspapers; how to locate and understand convict records; finding your ancestors and the valuable information from British census records; and discovering how to access and interpret Australian war records.

Celebrating their 40th anniversary in late August, however, the group itself is now on its own journey of discovery.

They are attempting to track down members from the founding years of one of the golden west’s great local community groups.

“We’re trying to find our former members and supporters form the early days,” Lyn said.

“You see, many are older, and they’re not the type of people to be online, and we simply don’t have their contact details anymore,” she added.

“A lot of our supporters are older and re-

tired, and they value their family connections, but we do have plenty of young members as well,” she said. Her own history is a fine example of how, when you look, you just don’t know what you might find out.

“My father didn’t know anything about his own father, other than that he was French, until I looked it up,” she said. “It was then that I found out a whole range of interesting events in our family history,” Lyn explained.

Now located at the Western Plains Cultural Centre, the society has had a number of moves over the years, always looking for more room for their voluminous records.

“Our founding president was Cynthia Foley in 1983, and we were established with the aim of helping people research their families,” she said. “We now have a large collection of, not just research material, but researchers who all have their speciality,” Lyn added.

The founding members used painstaking manual methods to help people trace their history but, while the technology has changed, the basic research skills haven’t.

“Of course when we started, we wouldn’t have been online, it would have all been hardcopies of books and records. But we still maintain so much print resources, records and books, and it’s still one of the best ways to find out facts about your family,” Lyn added.

The 40th anniversary event will be an afternoon tea on Saturday, August 26, at the Baptist Centre in Cobra Street, and everyone is invited to attend.

Lyn explained that it would be super if those attending could let the group know, for catering and event management purposes.

“Please respond to our RSVP or contact me directly, it’s not just for catering, but we have to know how big a cake to get!” she concluded.

For attendance or more information, contact Lyn Smith at: baretsmiths@bigpond.com, or call 0418 618 515.

How does your GARDEN GROW?

By EVA CUSACK, DUBBO & DISTRICT PRESCHOOL DUBBO and District Preschool (DDP) has been working together with our local Bunnings Warehouse team. This journey was instigated to follow the children’s interest in growing and harvesting fruits and vegetables from the preschool garden and utilise them in their learning experiences.

Educators critically reflected on how to extend children’s interest in gardening and embed sustainability into everyday practice in children’s learning. The ‘Plant to Plate’ team (Amanda, Kelly and Colleen) at DDP then researched and applied for a grant through Bunnings Warehouse’s ‘In Our Community’ program.

This program aims to provide a wide range of support to a cross section of local community groups.

At the beginning of this year, DDP was announced as a successful applicant and this grand journey began.

Ready for some gardening fun. PHOTO: CONTRIBUTED The children’s voices and ideas are valued and respected at DDP and their views on the preschool garden makeover were critically reflected in planning as DDP cares for the environment and supports children to become environmentally responsible.

DDP ‘Plant to Plate’ team have actively engaged with the local Bunnings Warehouse Garden team by sharing vision, exchanging ideas and thoughts in planning for the makeover. Meanwhile, children have been working hard in preparation such as clearing the garden, assembling garden beds and moving dirt. All the children were very keen to be involved and were working very hard.

On August 9 children and eduJack, Vada and Brendan Nelson and Lesley cators at DDP welcomed Corinne and Lesley from Bunnings Warehouse who were invited for a special morning tea prior to commencing gardening.

A seedless mandarin, a lemon and a pink lady tree were donated from Bunnings Warehouse and planted by children as they took turns working alongside Corinne and Lesley.

A range of vegetable seedlings such as snow peas, spring onions, carrots, cauliflower, baby spinach, beetroot, along with herbs, chives, coriander, parsley, thyme and basil were also planted.

They were also excited to observe how the preschool garden was progressing and thrilled to witness the preschool garden makeover project being accomplished.

Children and educators at DDP would like to express our gratitude to Bunnings Warehouse for their generous donations, ongoing support and partnership.

DDP community cannot wait to continuously work on the preschool garden, watch our garden growing, harvesting vegetable and fruits, and enjoying eating healthy and fresh food and demonstrating sustainable practice.

REAL ESTATE ASSOCIATION The Real Estate Chat with Karen Chant from Chant and Co URGING HOMEBUYERS TO Costly Mistakes to Avoid When Selling GET GOOD ADVICE Selling your home is a significant event, so it’s important to avoid common mistakes that can cost you.

Firstly, failing to present your home well can be detrimental. Before listing your home, take the time to declutter, complete repairs, and enhance both the interior and exterior. Good presentation significantly impacts prospective buyers’ interest and increases the likelihood of achieving your desired price.

Secondly, understanding the market is crucial. Research the market in your area to determine the selling prices of similar houses, demand levels, and average time on the market. This knowledge will help manage your expectations and set an appropriate price with your agent.

Setting an unrealistic price is a common mistake. Pricing your property correctly is vital. If it’s too high, it may discourage potential buyers, while setting it too low means you don’t maximise your property’s value.

Lastly, investing in marketing is essential. Cutting corners on marketing expenses can hinder your ability to attract the right buyers. Effective marketing showcases your property in the best light and reaches the target audience, generating interest and ultimately leading to more viewings and offers.

By avoiding these costly mistakes, you increase your chances of a smooth and successful property sale. Take the time to educate yourself, prepare your property, understand the market, set a realistic price and invest in effective marketing.

T

he Real Estate Buyers Agents Association of Australia (REBAA) has raised concerns about the guidance provided to homebuyers in some lifestyle TV shows and websites.

According to REBAA President Cate Bakos, relying on inexperienced or unqualified self-styled “property experts” potentially leads buyers to pay too much for inferior properties.

The association has identified eight major issues it has seen recently. They were: No Negotiation: The supposed property experts did not negotiate with vendors and selling agents, often encouraging buyers to offer their maximum budgets or the vendor’s asking price, regardless of the property’s potential market value.

Lack of Comparable Sales Analysis: The show did not appear to use recent comparable sales analysis to determine the potential sale prices of properties.

Lack of Due Diligence: The episodes did not display any kind of due diligence, such as investigating whether the properties had structural issues or flood impacts.

Poor Asset Selection: The guidance included poor asset selection like choosing properties on busy roads without discussing what that might mean for future capital growth.

Encouraging Over-Budget Bids at Auction:

Buyers were encouraged to bid on a property at auction the next day, sometimes going over their budget, without sufficient time to undertake necessary legal reviews and full due diligence.

Do you have any questions? Call Karen Chant on 0448 191167 or email karen@chantandco.com.au.

Misleading Suggestions: The show suggested converting part of a property without addressing whether it was legal height, possibly due to a lack of knowledge.

0448 191 167

No Discussion of Clauses or Conditions: The episodes did not include discussions around building and pest clauses, due diligence, or conditions of the offers.

Inappropriate Research Methods: The approach to property research was criticised, including a reliance on real estate agents for research, a method that REBAA considers unsuitable.

Ms Bakos expressed disappointment.

“Buying property – as a homebuyer or an investor – should never be for entertainment purposes,” she said, highlighting the significant financial stakes involved in purchasing property.

She emphasised that buying a property is often the largest financial transaction in a person’s life, impacting their future financial position. Homebuyers deserve professional assistance to ensure the chosen property suits their needs and budget, she said.

ORANA MALL

Retailer Week OF THE

The Keyman Dubbo is food for your ‘sole’

P

utting your best foot forward in a pair of shoes you absolutely love makes it near impossible to throw them out when they wear or break, and that’s something seen time and again by one of the region’s longest serving shoe repairers, The Keyman Dubbo Orana Mall.

“When I come in off my weekend, that shoe repair machine is full for the whole week. A lot of ladies say they know they can go and buy another pair of shoes, but they just want their favourite pair to be fixed and it’s why we’re still here in business,” Craig Bayliss, co-owner of The Keyman Dubbo Orana Mall, said.

“I do lady’s heels and soles every week; men’s soles every week but a lot of people probably haven’t even thought about getting their shoes fixed, yet it’s consistent all the time, and to be honest I probably didn’t get my shoes fixed until we bought the business, but I fix all my shoes now, if the sole comes undone and things like that, especially if they’re my favourite shoes.”

The Keyman Dubbo Orana Mall are RM Williams specialists too, and can completely rebuild your RMs, doing the elastics, heels, and soles, plus, they offer build-ups for shoes, to help people with uneven length legs by adding extra sole layers as needed.

While your shoes are a personal item unique to you, your birthday, anniversary, Christening and

wedding are special occasions to also make your own, and The Keyman Dubbo can help personalise gifts and keepsakes.

Essential to this service is the use of the latest engraving technology to use on instore products, such as wedding goblets or Christening gifts, as well as items you already own.

“We still do hand engraving, but we mainly do

computer engraving now, and we’ve got a laser engraver on the way because we’re just so busy all the time, we need both now to keep up with customers wanting their YETI’s engraved or doing people’s business logos on things,” Craig explained.

The Keyman Dubbo gift lines cover every sort of birthday, such as your 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, all your christening gifts, jewellery boxes and wedding gifts.

“We give a discount with wedding packages, so however big your bridal party, we’ve got all the male mugs there, and customers can come in to see the display of examples we’ve done with the computer engraver; we can design anything – and it’s all personalised for bride and groom, groomsmen, flower girls – everyone.”

There’s nothing more special receiving a wristwatch as a gift with a personalised engraved message, but don’t forget you can also get watch batteries there, watch bands, have pressure testing done as well as get your G-Shock fixed.

The core services of the kiosk-style outlet located in front of the entrance to Big W is, of course, key cutting and key repair, which The Keyman Dubbo has provided since the business opened with the new Orana Mall, in 1979.

“Lately, it’s been a lot of electronic car keys, so we can do anything from repairing your broken shell to programming keys. It’s amazing how many people are coming up with near new cars and they’ve only got one key because they may have lost one, or something like that, because if you lose your only car key it can become an expensive process. So then we’ve got to go out to the car, which we can also do for most cars.”

For all your watch battery, engraving, gifts, key cut and shoe repair needs, plus so much more, drop in to The Keyman Dubbo Orana Mall today.

YOUR STARS ARIES: Harmony and understanding aren’t always easy to achieve with certain people.

Among other things, avoid talking about money with family members. You must be patient when establishing harmony amidst the chaos.

TAURUS: At work, you’ll have to deal with many emergencies. You’ll also have to turn up the charm with certain colleagues and clients. You must be tactful and diplomatic to get along with them, as well as with your significant other.

GEMINI: You’ll have to work hard to get everything done. You’ll be warmly applauded and congratulated for a brilliant achievement, even if it’s only for listening to someone in need.

CANCER: Family life demands a lot of energy. Fortunately, it brings with it just as much gratitude. Your loved ones will feel confident in you; you’ll be their rock. You’ll spend time at home creating happy memories.

LEO: You’ll do a lot of running around this week. Your children and other family members could mistake you for a taxi. Don’t forget to update or start your GPS app before you hit the road to avoid getting lost.

VIRGO: You may have some loose ends to tie up with your bank manager. You’ll get the facts straight about your relationship or a potential flame. Good communication creates miracles. It’s important to know how to assert yourself with determination.

LIBRA: This will be a wild week! You could explore a new sport. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, love will take you on a stimulating adventure. At work, you’ll discover new ways to considerably increase your income.

SCORPIO: Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends, especially if you’re not in great health. Reconnect with someone close to you to experience some extraordinary moments.

You’ll start a new spiritual practice.

SAGITTARIUS: You must buy new work clothes. Your new look will give you more confidence to do better in business. Creativity is an excellent tool for professional development.

CAPRICORN: You’ll organise a work or family get-together. You’ll have the authority to accomplish great feats and possibly “solve the world’s problems”. Anything is possible with good organisation.

AQUARIUS: While during some kind of training, you’ll clearly define your career path to match your expectations and values. You could spontaneously arrange a getaway or trip with your significant other.

PISCES: You’re on an emotional roller coaster. Take the time to talk with your loved ones about what’s on your mind. Their openness could surprise you and improve your mood.

However, change brings about its own set of worries.

Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius.

Aquarius.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

TIME WARP Smiles from 1988... how many do you know?

There’s something nostalgically appealing about old school photos that seems to remind us all of the best years of our lives.

Spruced up in our best and brightest uniform; shoes polished; smiling for the camera; with our harassed teacher able to relax for one split-second, they’re a moment in time that most of us cherish more with each passing year.

This one from the kindergarten class at South Dubbo Primary School, in their bicentennial year 1988, contains a happy group of local kids most of whom, 35 years later, are now onto their fourth decade.

But how many of these smiling faces – many now tradies, teachers, and professionals around town – can you name?

For some clues, our photo contributor (who also happens to be amongst these cherubic cuties) listed some well-known local identities, amongst them: Cheryl Bender, Scott Edwards, Scott McNamara, Will Lindsay, Anthia Androutsos, Edwina Dowton, Aaron Hutchins, Nari Sahuka, Greg Sutton, Ian Gratton, Amy Chambers, Rebecca Lowe, Rebecca Webster, Mark Black, Nalinda George, Emma Kearines, Sally Young, and Clint Meyers, and of course, the teacher, Mrs Haylock. Apologies to those whose names have slipped our mind over the years.

By GEOFF MANN

LILY Sampson was voted in as captain by her peers and teachers at St John’s Primary School two years ago; last week, she was selected to carry the Aboriginal flag representing Australia at the World Dragon Boat Championships in Thailand!

Not bad for a young athlete with roots in Coonamble and who has only come to the sport since moving to Sydney with her family to attend St Scholastica’s College at Glebe.

All the more remarkable, is that Lily only became aware of the sport for which she is now a champion when she moved to Glebe in Year Seven! I spoke with her at the team base in Patong where she told me, it was like she was living her dream.

“Oh yeah, it’s amazing, I’ve always wanted to be a part of an Australian team and I was wondering what sport I could have a go at and then I found Dragon Boating last year,” Lily said.

“I absolutely love it!” she exclaimed.

Lily says she is rapt in the team spirit she enjoys in the boat; with her dream fulfilled at her new school.

‘When I moved to ‘Schols,’ dragon-boating was one of the biggest sports; the crews had not long returned from World Championships.

“All my friends were doing it, so I thought, ‘why not? I’ll give it a crack,’ and, ever since then, I’ve fallen in love with it; it’s been great!”

Another remarkable fact about Lily, was that she was not a” “water-sports baby’.

“I had never been in a canoe or any sort of boat, so this was a whole new experience.

I only swam a bit for fun,” the

outstanding young ambassador said.

Lily says she had never even heard of the Dragon Boat phenomena: “if I’m being honest”.

Lily says the Australian Auroras was a squad of around 40 paddlers (not rowers) aged from 13– 18 years through Premier Division and several other special agebased categories with people from all over Australia in her crews.

In her Juniors section, the team

was competing against the might of Canada, the United States, Germany, and Thailand.

“Dragon-boating is one of their strongest sports so, for us from Australia to compete and win medals, was an absolute blast.”

Lily paddles in both the smaller 10-person crew, as well as with the standard boat that has 20 members.

“I compete in both girls and mixed categories and we race be-

tween 200-metres and 1km, so my position in the boat varies depending on the make-up of the crew,” she explained.

“I see myself as a stabiliser so, usually towards the front of the boat or at the back; my role is to go long and strong and keep in time,” she added.

Lily says it is such a strenuous sport, so she and her team-mates were given gym and other fitness programs to prepare for the World titles.

Lily’s dream didn’t stop with selection in the Aurora’s Junior crew. The youngster’s former Principal at St John’s Primary, Anthony O’Leary said that, this “all-rounder of excellence” was bestowed the honour of carrying the Indigenous Flag at the Opening Ceremony.

“I was totally blown-away when our Team Manager, Cynthia, called me one afternoon when I arrived home from school,” Lily said.

“When she told me I had been chosen to be the Indigenous flag-bearer, I was so excited, I was over the moon; that was massive!”

Mr O’Leary, though, was not surprised that Lily was selected for the prestigious spot.

“Lily took on her leadership

role very proudly and with great dedication.

She was the epitome of a role model in everything she did – sport, academics, you name it; she was a leader who all the students, especially the younger ones looked at as someone to follow.”

Lily says carrying the flag through the other countries’ athletes was awe-inspiring.

“We lined-up with all the other flag-bearers, and when they introduced Australia, my colleague and I walked up onto the stage as they spoke about our teams and we were able to observe all the different traditions like painting the dragon’s heads and were given a gift,” she recalled.

“It was something I will never forget!”

Lily and all of the Auroras flew home with hearts filled with joy and handbags – or necks – bearing medals.

“It was amazing to think I was overseas representing my country and my people. It was awesome”.

Lily has promised to pop-in and see us at Dubbo Photo News the next time she is home.

I am fairly certain, she will have an open invitation to St John’s to show-off her treasures and share stories as well!

Rhonda breathes golden Dragons, in four-medal victory in Thailand

By GEOFF MANN

DUBBO Photo News has followed the journey of Rhonda Betts, an Outback Dragon Boat pioneer in Dubbo, since she first stepped into one of these unique racing canoes, 14 years ago.

We have paddled with her through the Macquarie River at its peak, and

through the vagaries of stagnation because of droughts and super-currents and floods, so now we can welcome her home, Australian World Champion – twice!

Rhonda capped-off a remarkable year, when she marched onto the Regatta at Patang, Thailand just over a week ago. In this, she was ac-

companied by fellow Western NSW paddlers, Kerry Madden and Estella Ferri (Colour City Dragons, Orange), Ellie Ireleand (Lachlan Dragons, Forbes), siblings Haydn and Jacob Wadron (Pan Dragons, Bathurst); and 14-year-old, Lily Sampson (see story on this page).

Four times during the week, Rhonda stepped proudly onto the podium with her crews, twice to have gold medals placed over her head; twice for bronze.

“Our crew medalled in every event!” Rhonda enthused.

“We beat the top teams from the whole world in 200-metre and 500-metre events, and were beaten only by powerful Canadian and German teams in two finals,” she added.

After such a huge series of results, she was hardly able to contain her excitement.

“I cannot tell you how special it is, to be standing up there while they play our national anthem!

“Super proud of the crew’s efforts over the past week,” she smiled.

“Think it is time for a cold celebratory drink now!” she added.

Hear, hear!

By GEOFF MANN CLUB Dubbo is hosting the NSW Junior Seven-a-Side Championships this weekend.

On what has become a regular on the Bowls calendar, over 120 junior bowlers from right across the State, will roll-up on Saturday morning for the event, with Club Dubbo Bowls Manager, Anthony Brown, pointing-out that this is only the seventh time that this prestigious tournament will be held west of the mountains.

“Although it usually takes four greens to run these championships, the size of Club Dubbo is such, that there will be no issue in catering for the 24 rinks needed,” Anthony said.

“Head greenkeeper, Darren Connolly, will have the playing surfaces and surrounds looking a treat; it will lead to some high-quality performances,” he added.

Anthony explained that, as a bonus this year, for the juniors, Bowls NSW Pathways Coach James Reynolds and others, are holding a training day prior to the event.

The championships will also be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook.

There are 16 teams competing from all

over NSW, including a team from the ACT, with each side comprising a singles player, and a pairs and a fours team.

Dubbo competes as part of Zone Four, which is fielding two teams, due to one zone not attending.

Zone 4 Green: Singles – Tom Rich (Mudgee). Pairs – Cooper Fliender (Manildra) and Sam Rich (Mudgee). Fours – Lincoln Clark (Macquarie), Zac Miller (West Dubbo), Cooper Dart (West Dubbo), and Sam Bowman (Coonabarabran). Manager, Glenn Morrison.

Zone Four Grey: Singles – Josh Toby (Trangie): Pairs – Shelby Powell (Nyngan), Logan Parry (Tullamore). Fours – Flynn Thompson (Gulgong), Zeke Hetrick (West Dubbo), Curtis Brown (Wallerawang), and Jeremy Wood (Gulgong). Manager, Steve Robinson (West Dubbo) All spectators and players are sure to be well looked-after over the weekend by Anthony and the Club Dubbo staff and volunteers. For more information, contact Anthony on 6884 3000, or visit the West Dubbo Bowls Facebook page.

CLOUDY skies greeted 46 bowlers on Sunday on a morning highlighted by mostly one-sided scores.

In an early match-up, Gavin Cullen, Paul Wooldridge, and Anthony Coe, struggled to put any shots together against a determined team of Dianne Hilderman, Eric Satchell, and Colin Teale. A first-half deficit was too-much to overcome with Di, Eric, and Colin cruising home 15-12, despite losing the second eight ends.

In another game, the result did not indicate the evenness of the pairs between Leo Balstad and Pete Ruzans and Sue Armstrong and Gaye Cottee. Scores were locked three times in the first eight, but it was Sue and Gaye who took control, leaving Leo and Pete stuck on seven for the next five ends. Although the final score of 16-10 indicates Sue and Gaye’s dominance; the others just needed a bit more “luck”!

D Hartos, Rob Pfeiffer, and Pete Sinclair, also might have wanted to restart their day after an absolute flogging by Doc Livingston, Allan Stratford, and Mel Giddings. The Doc and his mates devoured them, clocking-up 36 shots from the 11 ends they won.

Their 36-7 score earned the award for the morning.

Chris Castlehouse, Shirley Marchant, and Mick Strawhan, also kept the scoreboard ticking-over to claim 12 of the 16 ends.

Sue McCauley, Steve Kelly, and Kevin Scott, didn’t get a look in, scoring two and three in each half against the winner’s 29.

Paul Martin, Frank Armstrong, and Phil Knight, damaged any aspirations Ron McCauley, Therese Gaio, and Ian Humphries had with their performance. They doubled-up scores of 1-4 on each set of eight to win 20 to 8.

A close first eight for the Gwen Bull, Ray Strawhan, and Gordon Scott, and Vicki Hummel, Pat Sher-

win, and Al Andriske sides, was wiped when Al’s team rolled in 13 to one to take a 19-7 victory.

Mary Perry, Roger Sherwin, and Ruby Stockings scored 17 shots to 16, while Di Hildebrant, Pete Bennison, and Col Cottee struggled to reach eight in an unexpected result. Just goes to show, “on the day”!

In yet another one-sided game, Jill Hawkins, Ken Whittaker, and John Cole, proved to be too strong for Helene Emblen, Cheryl Storch, and Neil Hayburn.

Using the “multi-score” method, the latter got eight for just the three ends won, while the others scored 13 in each set of eight and finished up 26-15 winners.

From the total of 41 shots, only three singles were recorded during this game, the remainder were the result of the multi-score system.

Inter-generational wins for Ducks – young and old!

By JANINE GARDINER

FOR the Ducks last week, spectators witnessed the love of swimming between local ladies with a few years in between each other!

It was wonderful to see inter-generational racing with Life Member, Judy Walsh, and her grand-daughter Mia Uebergang racing in a team relay, the 25-metre brace breaststroke). The pair showed a clean pair of webbed feet to

their opponents, rounding-off their morning with a win!

Despite the flock being smaller than usual last week, there was still plenty of quacking and foxy manoeuvres on the deck and in the pool.

First-up, the 50-metre freestyle had some very close heats though, eventually Neil Harris was first, Mia Uebergang second, and Mark Scullard third.

Young Mia then outwitted the experienced fox Da-

vid Sparkes, leaving him and Henry Willcockson in second place. Another Duckling, Euan Gardiner, then teamedup with experienced racer, Peter Hargreaves for third place.

The third race was a 25-metre backstroke/25-metre freestyle. Some swimmers found it hard to pace themselves across the two disciplines and broke their times, however, Peter Hargraves made it look easy as he swept to the wall.

Mia was second, and Scull

third.

The final event was a 25-metre breaststroke of “go”. The idea of this race, is to swim as close as possible to your own time.

David Sparkes won, swimming 0.32 of a second to his own race times; Mark Scullard was 0.70 seconds off his time; and Henry Willcockson third, 0.75 seconds off his nominated time.

From Ducks to Matilda’s, see you next Sunday in the final!

Bulls and Macquarie have mixed results

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL DUBBO Bulls Football Club ended one of their most disappointing Western Premier League seasons with a morale-boosting win, slotting home six goals to two against another former competition powerhouse, Orange Waratahs.

Immediately following that match, Macquarie United (MUFC) lined up against second-placed Barnestoneworth United. The locals looked down and out trailing 4-1 with only 10 minutes to go, but found something extra to drive-in three

unanswered goals to snatch a creditable 4-4 draw.

Meanwhile, fourth-placed Orana Spurs suffered a 2-1 loss against Parkes. This was not the ideal preparation for Friday night’s elimination final against MUFC, although this was an under-strength combination that travelled down the Newell. Manager Ben Manson rested two or three key players and had another two on the sidelines serving suspensions.

Bathurst 75s were, in the end, the runaway Minor Premiers and get the week off as Barnestoneworth host Bathurst Panorama for a spot in the major semi-final.

“... and don’t come back!”

Dubbo CYMS (Group 11) and Mudgee (Group 10) both went down in their last pool matches, but will host qualifying finals on Sunday against Orange Hawks and Parkes Spacemen n respectively.

Tink passes on tips of “noble art”

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL BRIAN Tink represented Australia in boxing at the 1976 Olympics as well as in Commonwealth Games, World Championships, and in “Golden Gloves” title fights, earning many honours and lots of medals.

The recently-retired meat works owner however still maintains his keen interest in the sweet science, running four young blokes through their paces at a gym on his farm 20 minutes from Dubbo.

“I was boxing from a very young age, and love to pass-on what I learned to young blokes who are keen,” Brian said.

“Boxing teaches discipline, encourages people to stay fit and focussed, and helps you overcome fears and the many challenges in life,” he explained.

These are principles that have served him well his whole life, he added.

“I’ve never forgotten the lessons I learned at the Police Youth Club and Orana Boxing.

“We were shown how to balance, defend ourselves, and move swiftly either to score or get out of trouble in the ring,” he said with meaning.

Brian has high hopes now for Third Year Apprentice builder, Will Pollard, who was hard at work when we caught up with him at his homespun gym.

“Will ticks all the boxes so far; he’s really enthusiastic, works all day, and then comes out here five

days a week to hone his skills.

“The first time I had him here, I saw he was fighting wrong-footed so, he is now a southpaw (left-dominant fighter), and his whole set-up and power have developed.”

Brian has been utilising his former team-mate, and four-times World champion, Jeff Fenech, to create further opportunities for Will.

“There aren’t many opportunities for young boxers in the bush anymore, so Will heads to Sydney every couple of weeks to do some sparring with Jeff,” Brian said.

“Now he’s heading to Thailand with his troupe for a week.”

Fenech supported Tinky’s assessment of his young charge.

“Will is determined to become the best he can be,” the Australian fight legend said.

“He’s shown that at work and with his honest performances at every training session,” he added.

Ultimately, Fenech said, it’s what’s inside, that separates good, from great, fighters.

“I can help to improve his skills, but it is what’s in his chest, that will determine how far he goes,” Fenech said.

“In Thailand, he’ll be working out like a professional and have one fight; that will be a real test for him, but I am very confident, Will has what it takes,” he concluded.

The toughest of all sports, and one local kid, could be yet another young bush sportsperson, on the cusp of a great career.

Will Pollard is thriving under the expert tutelage of Brian Tink.
