WATCH YOUR STEP! Hilarious four-person Hitchcock tribute, next Friday & Saturday

By DAVID DIXON

L

ove a night at the theatre and classic movies from the Golden Years of Hollywood? Then grab a seat for the upcoming hilarious tribute to the greatest film-maker of all time.

While its title comes from a classic spy thriller; Dubbo Theatre Company’s production of The 39 Steps, is more a riotous salute to that master of suspense, Alfred Hitchcock.

“It’s not a musical, but it has a lot of music in it; it was book, then a movie, then a play, and then they turned it into a comedy, it’s actually a spoof of Hitchcock’s movies,” Director, Christine Bray said of the March 8–9 show.

“It incorporates iconic scenes from all of Hitchcock’s classic movies; North

by Northwest; Vertigo, Psycho, The Birds, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, they’re all referenced in the show,” she added.

The laugh-a-minute romp has been one of the longest-running plays in London’s West End and has a special twist, the 150-odd characters, are all played by a handful of performers!

“There’s only four actors, there’s Al Smith as Richard Hannay – the ‘international man of mystery’ – Greg Markwick as one of the clowns, James Eddy as the ‘man’, or ‘Clown Two’, and Linzi Aland-Berkley, as the woman,” Chris said.

“It’s all very quick change, a mix of pantomime and melodrama, all these elements, that’s part of the humour.”

Described as “a fast-paced whodunit of an ordinary man on an extraordinarily-entertaining adventure complete with a plane crash, handcuffs, missing fingers, and some good old-fashioned romance”, casting of only a handful of performers, all of whom are on stage for most of the production, tests the mettle and memory of even the best actor, Chris explained.

“It was actually written for only the four actors, that’s an inherent element, as they re-enact on-stage scenes from great Hitchcock films. ”It’s a real trial for the actors also, while Greg (“the man with many accents”) has been with us for many years, this is Linzi’s first big role, and she’s done great.”

Working with a dedicated bunch of performers, stage-hands, and backstage toilers, is always part of the enjoyment for this local all-volunteer community theatre group, Chris revealed.

“It’s been a lot of fun making it with these people, they’ve all been fantastic.

“Many of us have been with the company so long, there’s a familiarity that makes it very enjoyable,” she concluded.

The 39 Steps is on at Dubbo Regional Theatre at 8pm on Friday, March 8 and at 2pm and 8pm on Saturday, March 9.

Profile LINZI ALAND-BERKELEY Where do you work? Taronga Western Plains Zoo. Have you always lived in Dubbo? I grew up here, moved to Sydney for about 10 years, and then came back home in 2016.

What are your favourite memories of growing up in Dubbo or your hometown? Ratting around in the bush and making potions out of mud. I grew up out of town so I had 25 acres of bushland as my playground.

What do you like to do in your spare time? At the moment, I’m rehearsing the play The 39 Steps, learning lines for The 39 Steps, sewing my costumes for The 39 Steps and setting wigs for The 39 Steps.

Oh and learning lines. For The 39 Steps.

Do you have any hidden talents or special skills? I can stilt-walk (badly) and do aerial silks (somewhat).

Are you a morning person or a night owl? I’m a night owl that works early mornings.

Do you have any pets? What are they and what are their names? I do. Toffee the somewhat neurotic poodle and Blizzard the very non-neurotic bluetongued lizard.

What are you watching at the moment? Derry Girls.

Have you read any good books lately? The Incredible Runaway Snot by Josh Pyke and Heath McKenzie is pretty excellent. Circe by Madeline Miller is also great if you prefer books with less snot and fewer pictures.

What music do you like to listen to? Musical theatre, big band and swing.

What does the next five years look like for you?

Hopefully calm and peaceful with lots more pets.

Fun Facts about the

L

Leap Year

By JOANNE AUSTEN BROWN

eap years occur every four years and so an extra day is added so the calendar. Put simply, these additional 24 hours are built into the calendar to ensure the year stays in line with the earth’s movement around the sun.

While the modern calendar contains 365 days, the actual time it takes for earth to orbit its star is slightly longer… roughly 365.2421 days. The difference might not be much, but over decades and centuries that missing quarter of a day per year can add up. So period-

ically we add in an extra day to make up the lost time and get the calendar back in synch with the heavens.

Historians are still unclear as to how the early Romans kept track of their years, mostly because the Romans themselves may not have been entirely sure. It appears that the early Roman calendar consisted of ten months plus an ill-defined winter period.

Eventually this uncertain stretch of time was replaced by the new months of January and February, but the situation remained complicated. More so when Julius Caesar introduced the Roman year and the solar year became thoroughly out of sync.

Finally, Julius Caesar introduced Leap Day, with help from the Egyptians. During his time in Egypt, Caesar became convinced of the superiority of the Egyptian solar calendar, which featured 365 days and an occasional intercalary month which was inserted when astronomers observed the correct conditions in the stars. Caesar and the philosopher Sosigenes of Alexandria made one important modification: instead of relying on the stars, they would simply add a day to every fourth year. In keeping with the Roman tradition of messing g with the length of February, that

day would fall in the second month of the year – thus Leap Day was born. The Julian calendar began properly on January 1, 45 BCE. But their math was a little off…

By the 16th century, scholars had noticed that time was still slipping: Pope Gregory XIII commissioned a modified calendar, one which kept Leap Day but accounted for the inaccuracy by eliminating it on change of century years not divisible by 400 (1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years, but 2000 was).

The introduction of the Gregorian Calendar marked the last change to the Western calendar as we know it today.

People born on Leap Day are called ‘Leaplings’.

There are about five million people in the world who were born on February 29, with the odds of being born on Leap Day standing at about 1: 1,461. Here are some better-known Leaplings:  Our own comedian Frank Woodley: 1968  Motivation speaker Tony Robbins: 1960  Rapper Jay Rule: 1976  Actor Alex Rocco: 1936  Singer Dinah Shore: 1916  Italian composer Rossini: 1792  Pope John Paul III: 1468.  Jazz musician Jimmy Dorsey: 1904

Happy 11th ! y a d h t r i B p Lea Hemant Jadhav was born in India on February 29th, 1980. He arrived in Australia in 2012 and became a citizen in 2017.

He lives here in Dubbo and this February 29 turns 11.

Happy birthday Hemant.

“Every year my wife tries to arrange a celebration at midnight on the 28th. And I get a special birthday cake on the actual leap year birthday. As it is my birthday, I wish I could have my day every year. My work started celebrating birthdays this year so I will actually get one.”

The Dubbo Photo News would like to wish you a very happy birthday!

ALSO, happy birthday to Pat Stephens who also has a birthday on February 29th. Born in 1952 she is 17 years old or 68 which ever she prefers.

New family history course helps us find where we all came from The first step is often the hardest: Dubbo and District Family History Society is starting a new four-week course showing locals how to get started on the fascinating subject of personal family history. Society President Linda Barnes is seen here showing new member Robert Smith how he can begin his research.

By DAVID DIXON DO you know where you came from?

For many of us, this is now more than just an idle query, but an increasingly important fulfilment and an invaluable personal realisation.

Offering locals the basic skills to research their family tree is the purpose of a new four-week course starting soon, being run by Dubbo and District Family History Society.

The program has been prompted by the growing interest in genealogy from many Australians, shown not just in the burgeoning number of online ancestry sites, but also in popular culture, Lyn Smith from the society explained.

“We’re running it basically because of demand; our new members, particularly, are coming to ask for help, more and more,” Lyn said. “People just want to know their family history, you see it with the television shows on it, like, Who Do You Think You Are? and it’s growing,” she added.

The course is an introductory class for those just getting started on the fascinating subject of personal family history and begins next Wednesday.

“It’s just to start them off, to show them the very basics, but it will be cumulative, what you learn in the first week, will be added to the next week,” Lyn explained.

“It’s about how to find sources… we used to have to go through microfich-

es (miniaturised records), which we still do, but now they’re computerised and indexed, so it’s far easier.”

Some essential starting points that will be explained include:

iCare IC333 King Single Bed Package

Bedroom Equipment We supply a wide selection of bedroom equipment to aid and support users and their carers in achieving a comfortable and practical place for rest.

We also offer a range of bedroom equipment and aids such as adjustable homecare beds, pressure care matresses, pillows, rails, bed cradles and self help poles to make the bedroom a safer and functional space for the user and their carers.

 How to organise the information you already know;  Where to find new information;  Using birth, marriage, and death, certificates;

 Traps to be aware of and avoid;  How to use online databases, both subscription and free; Finding ancestors in immigration records.

The course runs over four consecutive Wednesdays from March 6 from 10.30– 12.30pm in the Music Room of the Dubbo Community Arts Centre.

Cheap as chips, everyone is invited, costing only $7.50 per session for members, and $15 per session for non-members.

The course is the ideal way to take that first bold step for those with little background knowledge but a keen interest in chasing down their famous and fascinating ancestors, Lyn said.

“A lot of people are interested in this subject, but haven’t started yet,” she said.

“This is the first time we’ve run this exact course, because it takes them right from the start,” Lyn concluded.

R

ev’d Andrew Thornhill was recently welcomed to his new role as Rector of Dubbo and Archdeacon of the NorthWest. He writes: “My family and I are delighted to be in Dubbo and look forward to living and serving with our church family and the wider city community. I’d love to welcome people back to church or new people to church for the first time: we have multiple services across the weekend – both traditional and contemporary – with programs in place for people at all stages of life. Most of all, I’d love the opportunity to tell you about Jesus, and how he makes it possible to have a personal relationship with God, our creator and saviour.”

During the service at 11am, Rev’d Thornhill, previously the Priest in Charge at Coonabarabran and Ministry Develop-

ment Officer for the Anglican Diocese of Bathurst shared, “So much preparation has gone into our arrival at the Parish.

Generous, gracious hospitality.

“For the last few weeks, as we’ve settled in here, and for today, thank you so much.

To my new church family, the flock that God has placed under my care, I publicly affirm today I do this only under God’s hand, with his help. Ask me, have I drawn strength from God today, when you see me. I can’t do this without him. Please hold me to that.”

In announcing that the Thornhill family would be moving to Dubbo, Bishop Mark Calder remarked, “Andrew with his wife Kath, first approached me about serving in the diocese in 2020.

From the outset, I have been impressed

with Andrew and Kath as a godly, servant-hearted, humble couple who desire nothing other than to love and serve God’s people, shepherding them with his word and ministering the sacraments with dignity and meaning. I am absolutely confident that the parish of Dubbo will be well loved and served by Andrew who will be wonderfully supported by Kath.

Andrew is a clear Bible teacher; he leads all styles of service with reverence and joy and shares a high view of the sacraments. Whilst a new minister will inevitably bring change, Dubbo parish can be confident that there will be continuity with the ministry of the past, as well as enabling the parish to meet the needs of an ever-changing ministry context in today’s world.”

Before studying to be a minster in Perth

and Sydney, Andrew grew up in Western Australia and worked in human resources in several industries, over twenty years, in Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane.

“I count it as privilege to be presented with this opportunity, continuing the significant and faithful service of Brett and Michelle Watterson and family over the past eight years,” said Rev’d Thornhill.

“The many and varied ministries in place at Holy Trinity, Dubbo, reveal a church family who put the Gospel of Jesus into practice. I look forward to ministering with them to continue the important work, under God, of sharing Jesus for life.”

The Thornhills moved to Dubbo in January with their teenagers Hudson and Matilda and the family are excited about the many ministry opportunities in Dubbo.

Th ree decades of helping RF DS and mor e Ellie is awarded an OAM T

By DAVID DIXON

hree decades and more of helping out in her local community was recognised recently when Ellen ‘Ellie’ Stanmore was awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia (OAM) on Australia Day. In acknowledgement of the award, her friends and fellow volunteers from the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Dubbo Support Group, presented her with flowers and thanks, after the presentation.

Yet Support Group Secretary Jenny Rodway says that Ellie’s tireless efforts for the RFDS is only one of the many

strings to her long bow.

“Her award was for her volunteering with a range of other groups as well, including the St Vincent de Paul Society; the South Dubbo Primary School canteen; with the PCYC; at the canteens of Dubbo cricket and soccer clubs; and, formerly, with the brass band as well,” Jenny said. “On top of that, she was also a foster carer for a number of years.”

But it is with the RFDS South Eastern Section Support Group that she has done much good work over many a long year, Jenny explained.

“We support the RFDS with fundraising for the area covering the northwest region of NSW, and Ellie was one of our founding members from 1993.

“She was instrumental in setting the group up, and has worked since that time and made a real contribution over many years to the group, so we’re very proud of her!” Jenny exclaimed.

RFDS Dubbo Support Group President Jeanette Hamilton congratulates Ellie Stanmore on her OAM Australia Day award, for decades helping the local community.

Travellers offer a farewell gift to Macquarie Homestay OUT of sad news, sometimes comes some good. With the winding-up of a local sporting group leading to a generous donation to a not-for-profit.

Recently the Devil’s Hollow Social Club joined forces with the Dubbo Travelling Bowlers Club to make a special donation to one of Dubbo’s most important projects, Macquarie Homestay.

The bowlers club – based at the Devil’s Hollow Brewery – has for years been raising money for this wonderful charity that is currently on a fundraising drive for Stage II of the facility to provide accommodation for families visiting Dubbo

for cancer treatment.

The club, however, recently disbanded and decided to donate their remaining funds to Macquarie Homestay.

Devil’s Hollow Social Club then got in on the act, with a total tipin of $2500 recently presented to Macquarie Homestay President David Haywood and Macquarie Homestay Managing Director Rod Crowfoot at their recent AGM. Derek and Pam Roberts represented the Dubbo Travelling Bowlers Club and Barry Brebner and Ceridwyn Usback represented the Devil’s Hollow Brewery, and they joined with Brenda Moon from the

Regional Australia Bank for the presentation.

Barry Brebner from the brewery advised those present, that these funds would not have been available if it were not for the very special RAB Community Partnership Program. “We are certainly lucky to have to have the Regional Australia Bank located in Dubbo,” he said.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

Forklift licence next on the agenda for Zak

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

THERE isn’t a person in the Fletchers International Export meat processing plant production line, that can’t be removed without serious implication, from the farmers who raise the sheep to the team who load the final packaged product onto trucks to be sent to their various global destinations.

It’s a fact not lost on the family-business owners who value all of their staff’s contribution to ensure the timely execution of the functions performed like clockwork on a daily basis by over 600 staff.

Loadout employee, Zak Jump has worked at Fletchers twice before Dubbo Photo News sat down to ask recently about his newest role in load out.

“In the load out dock, we’re

not working with the sheep at all, because we’re receiving the product boxed on palettes and getting them onto their respective trucks,” he said.

“It’s completely different to what I’ve done the last two times I worked here, in the harvest floor because that’s where the sheep are received and skinned, and the meat is prepared in the boning rooms, and then sent packaged to the loadout.”

Once the product is received by Zak and the team, they must ensure orders are correctly loaded safely and securely.

Zak said he enjoyed the harvest floor for the dozens of people working together in that department and the variety of jobs he could also try, saying he’d met a lot of good people there.

“I’m still meeting good people in load out, but there’s less people required in that

department and I’m new and still learning new skills, and next month I’ll be learning how to drive a forklift, which Fletchers’ will help me to get that licence,” Zak said.

“There’s always opportunity to work your way up at Fletchers, by learning new skills or getting new qualifications, and the company are really open to you trying new things if you want to, so there’s the chance to earn decent money too which is good.”

Fletcher International Exports is one of Dubbo’s biggest employers processing lamb and sheep meat products, wool and sheep skins, and a diverse range of high-quality co-products.

Five must-have items for every home office

Setting up a home office properly can dramatically improve your work-from-home experience.

CREATING an efficient home office is vital for those who work remotely, which requires an environment that fosters both comfort and productivity.

To achieve this, certain items are indispensable.

Here, we explore five essential components that should be part of every home office setup, ensuring a workspace that is both comfortable and conducive to productivity.

1. Ergonomic Desk and Chair: The foundation of a home office is a high-quality desk and chair, pivotal in maintaining a healthy posture and preventing discomfort or pain during long working hours. The Australian Physiotherapy Association emphasises the importance of ergonomics in the workplace, advising individuals to select desks and chairs that are adjustable to meet personal needs. A chair with adequate lumbar support and a desk at an appropriate height can significantly reduce the risk of musculoskeletal issues.

2. Computer with a Large Monitor In today’s digital age, a computer with a large monitor is crucial. A mon-

itor with ample screen real estate and high resolution enhances productivity by allowing for multiple windows to be open simultaneously and reducing the need to switch between tabs frequently. According to a study published by the University of Utah, a larger monitor can improve productivity by up to 52 per cent for certain tasks, highlighting the importance of screen size and clarity in efficient work practices.

3. Fast Internet Connection A robust internet connection is the lifeline of a home office, essential for seamless communication with clients, colleagues, and customers. A wired connection is preferable over Wi-Fi for enhanced stability and speed, critical for video conferencing and large data transfers.

4. Noise-Cancelling Headphones For those in noisy environments, noise-cancelling headphones are a game-changer. They help to create a distraction-free zone, essential for maintaining focus and productivity.

Research has shown that noise pollution can significantly impact con-

centration and stress levels, making noise-cancelling headphones a valuable investment for anyone looking to create a serene workspace.

5. Plants Incorporating greenery into your home office can have multiple benefits. Plants not only improve air quality by filtering out common pollutants but also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your workspace. Studies, such as those conducted by the University of Technology in Sydney, have found that indoor plants can reduce stress and boost mood, making them a delightful and beneficial addition to any home office.

Setting up a home office with these five must-have items can dramatically improve your work-from-home experience. From ergonomic furniture to fast internet and the calming presence of plants, each element plays a crucial role in creating a productive and enjoyable workspace.

For those ready to enhance their home office, local home and office retailers offer a range of products to meet these needs.

rana Early Childhood Intervention, in conjunction with Dubbo Regional Council and Communities for Children, invite the Dubbo community to a free live webinar: Connected Parenting on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, from 6.30pm- 7.30pm.

Presenter Lael Stone is a speaker, educator and author with a strong belief in the power of connection and compassion. Lael’s aspiration is to support families to better understand their children, and enable us all to live the life we desire. “If you were to ask me what it is that I do, I could sum it up in a sentence: I speak for the heart of the child. Whether it is supporting parents to understand their children, helping adults process their own childhood trauma, or creating education systems that value emotional awareness- it all comes back to connection and compassion. I began working in childbirth education and postnatal care in 2004… working in this field certainly showed me the importance of connection and trust. From a woman trusting her baby and birthing body to learning all about how to parent with presence and awareness,” Lael expresses.

Connected Parenting will be shown at the Western Plain Cultural Centre with doors opening at 6pm, and light refreshments available.

Spaces are limited, and booking is available on 123tix.com.au/events/42298/ connected-parenting

Central West author brings the

Mental as Anything story to Dubbo

By JONO ROE

range author Stuart Lloyd sorts truth from fiction in Started Out Just Drinking Beer, the first biography of Australia’s hardest-working band, Mental As Anything.

“To me, it was just such a great untold Aussie story,” says Orange author Stuart Lloyd of his latest book, a superbly researched and written official biography of one of Australia’s most popular bands, Mental As Anything.

“It was essentially five guys who enjoyed a cold beer and had a red-hot go at it. They had no ambition. No plan. They fell into it. And it turned out to be this mighty 43-year-long musical marathon that was beyond their wildest dreams.”

Started Out Drinking Beer – The Mental As Anything Story is Stuart’s 19th non-fiction book.

Written with unfettered access to all the key players it’s full of untold stories behind Aussie classics like: Live It Up, Too Many Times, If You Leave Me Can I Come Too? Berserk Warrior, Egypt, The Nips Are Getting Bigger, and more.

Plus there are plenty of tales from the road as told by band members ‘Greedy’ Smith, Martin Plaza, Deve ‘Bird’ Twohill, Peter O’Doherty, Reg Mombassa and a star-studded cast including Colin Hay, producer Mark Opitz, Mondo Rock’s Ross Wilson and INXS’s Kirk Pengilly.

As a former music journalist writing for publications such as Variety (US), The Australian, Sydney Morning Herald, and Songsmith, Stuart has had the opportunity to sit across from some of the world’s great songwriters like Paul Kelly, Bic Runga, Jimmy

John bags Chevron award for Lions Awareness Day, with 60 years with Wello Lions Wello Book Fair, barbecue IT is the rarest of Lions Club awards, but one recently earned

by John Whitely of the Wellington Club: a ‘Chevron’ representing six long decades of service!

However, it is one that may become even rarer, with the local service group now into single-figure membership, and desperately seeking some new blood.

Wellington Lions District Governor Geoff Fredenstein made the award to John for his 60 years of selfless service.

Geoff said it was the rarest of Lion’s awards that showed that John had been helping his local community all the way back since the early 1960s!

The presentation was told that while Wellington Lions was inaugurated in 1957 with many years of 30-plus membership, the club was now down to just nine, and would love to see some younger members of the community joining.

Highlighting the good work that the service club does for the local community, Geoff was

in town late last year to help with the Christmas party for kids by barbecuing the 100 sausages provided by Wellington Lions for the event.

with the decorated Lions catering van – towed by a member’s 1973 Holden ute – followed by another barbecue the very next day at the Swap Meet.

This month is also a busy time for all Lions as Friday, March 2, is Lions Awareness Day with members busy at the Wellington Vintage Fair Parade

Hopefully the ‘Preloved Book Fair’ will also be busy as there are lots of different books coming in, with the fair on Saturday, March 2, on from 9am.

THOUSANDS of Australia’s most dedicated and hard-working volunteers – including our local group at Wellington – will be on deck to let you know more about what they do this weekend for Lions Awareness Day. After more than 75 years of helping Australians, many realise how this vital role as a service club, is becoming increasingly important.

This may be through providing emergency relief during natural disasters, supporting farming communities during drought, supporting critical medical research into childhood cancers and diabetes, or working on local environmental programs. In all of these areas, this work is valued, and critical.

Wellington Lions – which itself started in 1957 – is holding a Preloved Book Fair in the Western Gallery for all Thursdays to Saturdays from 10–2pm for the months of March and April.

On these days, a Lions volunteer will be available to chat or let you choose from their thousands of books available, where most books are only a gold coin. This Saturday, March 2,

after the Vintage Fair Parade, why not drop-in and buy a “vintage” book – or even a newer one!

On the Sunday, March 3 at the Vintage Fair, local Lions will also be busy barbecuing at the Showground with the help of their sister club from Kellyville in Sydney’s west.

“With over 25,000 members, Lions Australia is Australia’s largest service organisation, but there’s much more to us than fundraising barbecues,” a spokesperson said.

“That’s why we are taking the opportunity to tell our story on Lions Awareness Day; we want the rest of Australia to know more about what we do and the causes we support,” they added.

Like most service clubs, the local Lions are after new members as time and retirements, thin their ranks.

“We hope you’ll take the opportunity to join us at one of the many events that will be held across Australia,” the spokesperson said.

“Talk to a Lion, and ask them why they decided to give some of their time and effort to help others,” they concluded.

Thumbs up to everyone involved in the Touch Football Carnival in Dubbo over the weekend, from players, to parents and carers, to coaches and refs, and to organisers. We weren’t directly involved, but even watching as we went for our weekend walk along the riverbank, we could tell everyone was enjoying being involved. A favourite moment was when the crowd on the sidelines of one match cheered (it was pretty much a roar!) as a try was scored. They obviously love their sport!

Thumbs up to Dubbo Regional Council staff for preparing the Lady Cutler Ovals and surrounds for the Touch Football Carnival. The whole area looked picture perfect, I hope all the visitors felt very welcomed.

Thumbs up to The Book Connection in Dubbo for specially ordering a book I hadn’t been able to track down. I had asked a few friends who could help me and they all said to try The Book Connection.

I’m glad I did! Thank you so much.

Thumbs up to walkers who do the right thing and pick up after their dogs while out walking. I saw three people doing just that while walking our dog last week and thought how good it is that it seems to have become the ‘accepted norm’. BTW, here’s my tip, some public leash-free areas have free doggy-do bags, in case you forget your own. Or, a friend of mine gave me some recyclable cardboard ones to try – they’re literally a ‘scoop’!

Meaning amongst the rubbish: Waste 2 Art workshops in March FINDING something useful amongst what others have thrown away is a wonderful thing. It’s also the theme behind a new creative competition in the Golden West.

It’s time for local sculptors, painters, and designers to start transforming rubbish into meaning, with entries for the annual ‘Waste 2 Art’ event now open.

To help get the creative juices for young entrants flowing, Dubbo Council is also running a series of workshops in late March at the Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC).

Waste 2 Art aims to encourage everyone to reduce, reuse, and recycle, and to change how we view what others throw away, with this year’s theme: ‘The Year of Packaging’.

Categories cater for both primary and secondary school students, as well as for community members and professional artists in an open category. These include two-dimensional, three-dimensional, and functional artwork categories.

Studies show that more than 90 per cent of packaging waste ends up in landfill or dumped in our environment, Dubbo Regional Council Curator Officer Mariam Abboud said.

“This year’s theme is all about packaging, so think soft plastics, bubble-wrap, boxes, manufacturing, and consumerism,” Mariam said.

“Waste 2 Art is an innovative competition that allows schools, commu-

nity groups, and individuals to get involved and turn rubbish into art.”

As part of the Waste 2 Art competition this year, she said that the WPCC is opening its art studio during March for schools and early learning centres to come and begin work on their Waste 2 Art creations for this year’s competition.

During the sessions students can also work with environmental artist Ronda Sharpe who showcased her work at the WPCC last year. Ms Sharpe’s artwork draws on Wiradjuri culture and language through adopting an environmentally-sustainable approach to combining customary weaving techniques with recycled material.

The workshops are free with some materials supplied as well as any specific packaging participants want to bring along. Workshops are being held on Wednesdays and Thursdays, March 20–21 and March 27–28, with sessions from 9–11am and 12noon–2pm.

For more information, call council’s Education Officer Rebecca Walker on 6801 4435, or email: rebecca.walker@dubbo.nsw.gov.au Entries close on Friday, May 3, with the official opening on Saturday, June 1.

Record numbers of young medicos studying medicine in the bush AS training-up bush kids to become medicos is the best way to overcome our rural doctor shortage, the latest cohort of students at the School of Rural Health in Dubbo is good news for the future of medicine in regional areas.

The new group of first-years – the third group who will study their entire University of Sydney Doctor of Medicine in the Central West at the School of Rural Health in Dubbo – now pushes the school to a record enrolment of 87 young medicos.

A special Indigenous welcoming ceremony was held for first-years recently, reinforcing the university’s strong commitment to building the rural health workforce and training the next generation of rural doctors.

Local Dubbo pharmacist Dan Kendall is among this year’s firstyear cohort, and says that the course fulfils a long-time ambition.

“I’ve been interested in becoming a doctor for a while, but I couldn’t uproot my family and move to another town or the city to study,” Dan said. “I’m thrilled that the University of Sydney offers the degree here, and I can do the entire program in my hometown, surrounded by support from my family, friends, and colleagues.”

The School of Rural Health in Dubbo offers unique benefits for medical students, including small

classes, more time with clinicians and tutors, and a growing and vibrant student community.

Studying the Doctor of Medicine in Dubbo has also become more affordable, with another 12 Destination Australia Scholarships – an Australian Government initiative – being offered through the University of Sydney to first-year medical students.

Each scholarship is valued at

$15,000 per year for four years, to support students on their academic journey, Clinical School Head Professor Catherine Hawke said.

“It’s truly heartening to witness rural students pursuing their dreams of studying medicine, many of whom wouldn’t have had the opportunity to study medicine if it weren’t for our program here in Dubbo,” Prof Hawke said. “The program not only transforms in-

YOUNG AUCTIONEERS WARM-UP VOCAL CHORDS FOR A VERY GOOD CAUSE… L

OCHLAN CAMERON is warming-up the old vocal chords for a very good cause this Thursday; the Real Estate Institute’s Novice Auctioneer’s Competition helping raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.

A total of 10 local entrants from a range of local realtors have put their names forward in the competition which involves entrants auctioning donated items to the audience with the agents judged on a range of objective criteria.

“You have to bring something to the value of $100 to auction; I was donated a gift card from the Western Star Hotel, that I put towards a bottle of wine, peanuts, a stubbie holder, in a gift pack,” Lochlan explained.

“It’s been good, I’ve never done an auction before, but I’ve been practising at home and even at work,” he added.

Tara Searle from Dubbo Real Estate Agency and Laura Shooter from SJ Shooter have helped revive the competition that lapsed during the pandemic lockdowns.

“We have had 10 entrants, a strong regis-

tration number, showing the pent-up demand for the event,” Laura said.

“I’ve been working with the REINSW, we haven’t had it for a few years and it will be great to have it back on again, with the winner going on to compete at the State level in Sydney,” she added.

Alayna Bodiam, a local property manager, is also keenly anticipating the evening, her first-up effort as an auctioneer: “It should be good, I’m really looking forward to it,” she said.

Lochlan said that he’s found the whole experience enjoyable, regardless of how it goes..

“Even if I don’t eventually go into becoming an auctioneer, I’ve found the process interesting,” he said.

“Just being able to understand how you value items and the way to get the best out of them,” he concluded.

The event is on tonight, Thursday, February 29 from 6pm at Club Dubbo, in Whylandra Street

Dubbo South Public School 4A 4A have had a wonderful week of learning.

We started our school kitchen garden program, Wambangalang, which blends gardening with our science lessons. As we dig, plant, and harvest, we also discover the flavours of healthy eating and how to care for our planet. It’s like our own green oasis where we learn, grow, and taste the fruits of our labour!

4A has also been engaging in group STEM challenges and hands-on maths tasks this week. These activities promote teamwork, communication, and collaboration, fostering critical thinking and problem solving skills.

4A have been working together to solve problems and complete tasks, boosting their confidence and a sense of accomplishment.

This week we had to build a cup tower using only a rubber band and string! The rotation of hands-on maths tasks makes math more enjoyable and accessible, reducing math anxiety. They encourage exploration and experimentation, helping 4A develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts.

Retailer Week OF THE

Local retailer, Laurie Claire is catering for every woman L

aurie Claire Boutique at the Orana Mall, has something for everyone..

This Central West-owned retailer, has clothes from kids, to teens, to mothers, and everyone in between, owner Tayla Wasson explained.

“Our line of clothes is quite wide, it’s nothing for a mother and daughter to come-in and shop together,” Tayla said.

“Our best customers are mums, grand-mums, but we do get a lot of teenagers, we offer such a big range,” she added.

With the fashion season now changing as we enter the cooler months, it’s also a great time to pick-up some summer style, or

get your wardrobe set for the autumn and winter ahead.

“We’re offering 20 per cent off all of our summer clothing, dresses and tops, so now’s a great time bag a bargain” Tayla said.

“All of our new autumn range is also now coming in, and it features lots of knitted tops and bottoms, they’ve been in for summer and in for winter with lots of reds,” she added excitedly.

With her unique brand a combination from the names of two of her great grandparents, Laurie Claire is a real homegrown success story, Tayla explained.

“I built it from the ground,

firstly as a kids store in Orange, then I thought we could cater for the night markets in orange, and then Bathurst, where I have my other store,” she revealed.

“And then I noticed that we had a lot of customers coming-over from Dubbo, so I decided to start the one here about three years ’ago.”

While retail is a tough trade and it’s no picnic competing against the big outlets, Talya wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I absolutely love it, it is long hours, and you’re always on the go, but I enjoy it anyway,” Tayla said.

“It’s fantastic, it’s not like work for me.”

The luckiest signs this week:

ARIES: You may get the idea to broaden your intellect and spirituality through education. If you have young children, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to discover the joys of spending time with them.

GEMINI: You’ll have a heavy workload this week due to many clients, all of whom could turn out to be very lucrative. If you’re single, you could meet your soulmate at an event with friends.

CANCER: Take the time you need to think about certain projects. Carefully verify the details and negotiate beneficial terms. In your relationship, small gestures will positively impact harmony and intimacy.

LEO: Moving requires meticulous planning. You must take the first steps and assess the work required. You’ll feel a special pride in arranging your space to your liking, both at work and at home.

VIRGO: You must prioritise your health this week. You could start a new diet that will improve your quality of life and boost your self-esteem. Your perseverance and commitment to yourself will pay off and your achievements will be the proof.

Pets find ‘furever’ homes at adoption day

By LAUREN ASHWORTH On Saturday Animal Welfare League held an adoption day at Petbarn. The morning brought many loving families looking to take the cats and dogs home. Many were adopted and farewelled off to their ‘furever’ homes.

The Animal Welfare League works hard to prepare the animals for their next journey in life, and have a fantastic fostering system that ensures all animals are well cared for before finding their new family.

It was a pleasure to see all the smiling faces from both the families and animals while saying goodbye to their foster carer.

Top local rider, Emily named in NSW team after three-day event Contributed by DUBBO CYCLE CLUB SHOWING the strength of local competition; Dubbo Cycle Club was able to send another capable contingent of riders to compete in the three-day Under 15 and 17 NSW Track Championships held at Sydney’s Dunc Gray Olympic Velodrome earlier this month.

Day One saw Cooper Farr, Sidney Pickering, and William Tanswell, all posting impressive times in the 500-metre time trial, narrowly missing the top 10 in their debut year in the Division with placings of 11th, 14th, and 17th respectively. In other great news, in the Under 17 event, Emily Hines produced a sensational time finishing in fifth place.

During the Keirin qualifiers, Pickering, Farr, and Tanswell, performed well with all three boys advancing to the repechage heats with Farr winning his reparcharge and making the consolation final finishing in ninth overall.

In their next event, the point-score, despite their determination, the Dubbo boys finished outside the top 10 whilst Emily Hines showed her supreme endurance bagging a silver medal with a fantastic final sprint to put her on the podium.

Day Two saw Hines excel in the sprint qualifiers recording the fifth-fastest time and progressing to the next round, eventually going down to Goulburn’s Elsie Apps in the Bronze final.

Next up for the Dubbo riders, was the Under 15 boys 2km Individual pursuit qualifying with Pickering recording sixth fastest time in qualifying to be the leading first year rider in the qualifiers narrowly missing-out on a spot in the top four for a medal ride-off.

Farr and Tanswell both gave it their all to put down respectable times finishing in 15th and 20th respectively.

In the 3km Teams Pursuit,

Hines made up part of a composite team with three others and recorded an impressive time of just under four minutes earning them the Gold medal. Next up was the Boys Team Sprint and, in this event, each rider gives an all-out effort for one lap and makes way for the successive rider.

Tanswell, Pickering, and Farr put in a blistering ride and took the bronze medal in a time of 57.342 seconds.

There is no doubt it will be a showdown next year for all who want the top spot in this event.

On Day 3, in the 2km Individual Pursuit, Hines qualified in fourth and secured a bronze medal ride-off, narrowly going down to NEO rider Isobel Prince in a hard-fought ride.

However, Hines bounced back with a sensational ride in the Cooper Farr, Sidney Pickering and William Tanswell earn bronze in Emily Hines with her hoard of medals Under 17 Keirin Final, claimthe Team Sprint.

In the Under 17 Girls Team Sprint event, Hines and her teammates secured the silver medal in a gutsy ride after Hines pulled a foot shortly after the start.

Emily Hines was later named in the NSW team to contest the National track titles in mid-March at the Anna Meares velodrome in Brisbane, the focus now shifts to fine-tuning her skills for the upcoming national competition, building on the success of the NSW State Titles campaign.

Closer to home, next Tuesday is the fourth round of the Wheelrace Series sponsored

by Dubbo City Toyota with the Junior Trophy Night to celebrate the achievements of the amazing Tiny Tots.

Dubbo Photo News February 29-March 6, 2024

Demons, Tiges, and Bushies head south for country cup WITH the imminent start of the new footie season, one of our women’s teams recently took-on some of the best country players in a tournament in southern NSW. Dubbo Demons joined forces with Central West rivals, Orange Tigers and Bathurst Bushrangers, to battle it out with some of the best women’s AFL teams from across NSW and the ACT in the McDonalds AFLW Queanbeyan Cup. After taking-out the Central West Premiership last year, and with new coach Lynton Auld on board, the Demons women were keen to get their hands on the footy prior to the 2024 season kicking-off.

Both teams have been working hard on pre-season fitness, skills and bringing new players up to speed. This year marks the third time the Queanbeyan Cup has taken place, capitalising on an exponential growth in women’s football in recent years.

The development of the sport at a community level has resulted in a wealth of female talent across the State, and it was exciting for Central West players to be involved in a competition of this calibre.

The combined team took a mix of experienced and new players to Queanbeyan, with some girls playing their first games of AFL at this tournament. Experienced players, Emily Warner and Kaitlyn Waldie from Dubbo Demons, and Jacqui Ryan from Orange Tigers, guided the teams through three games over the weekend, with the team ultimately finishing 10th out of the pool of 12 teams.

Great weekend out facing some stiff opposition, the combined Central West ladies Australian Football side recently travelled to Queanbeyan for a country cup.

Front, from left, Keeghan Tucker, Emma Harris, Lilly Kerr, Kristen Coady, Jennifer Lao, Jodie Sullivan, and Dell Bassett. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

The first game against Belconnen was largely one-sided in the first half, against a well-drilled and polished Belconnen Magpies, the current ACT Division One premiers.

The central west team were forced to quickly find their team rhythm and, by the second half, were linking some clean plays up the ground, culminating in a goal for the visitors. Dominant work in the ruck by Sea Lindsay, kept providing midfield opportunities and

this fine service continued all day.

After a lengthy break, the next two games were played back-toback. Games against Tuggeranong Valley and Newcastle City, saw much-improved contests as connections developed and the team came into its own in the last game leading Newcastle in the first half, before being overwhelmed by the younger and fitter Blues team in the last few minutes.

The team exceeded all expectations for the day though and great

bonds were formed and further developed. Individual highlights included Kristen Coady scoring the team’s first goal, Sea dominating in the ruck, Emily Warner winning balls all day, Jacqui Ryan and her “sister” linked-up beautifully.

Other top moments included Molly “Milo” Mayall scoring a great set shot from the pocket in our last game and Keeghan Tucker being rewarded for a great day with a goal in the second game.

After this tournament, The De-

mons, Tigers, and Bushies, will resume their friendly rivalry for the upcoming season starting in late April.

Before then, Dubbo will travel to Tumbarumba on April 14 for the annual Izaac Cornell Memorial game, and Orange will host the Penrith Rams for a pre-season match-up on Saturday, March 23.

Anyone interested in playing this season, is encouraged to contact the club through Facebook.

Spirit of ‘74 Western Division Amco Cup legends and “The Night The Music Died”

By GEOFF MANN FIFTY years and a lifetime in rugby league history ago it may be, but many old-stagers can still remember crowding into homes, clubs, and pubs, to watch one of the sport’s greatest legends being born.

It was the first year of an innovative Wednesday night rugby league ritual that was made for the new-fangled soon-to-beintroduced revolution in sport, colour television; and it was called the Amco Cup. That first definitive season, an iconic team drawn from miners in Lithgow and Cobar, farmers in Coonabarabran and Canowindra, tradies, teachers, a publican, a HSC student, and all led by a policeman from Bathurst, turned the competition on its head.

The Western Division side was coached by former St George and Australian winger, local football legend and Gilgandra boy, Johnny King, who masterminded a stunning series of upsets, to win the inaugural final at Leichhardt Oval – one of the few grounds then with powerful-enough floodlights for the television broadcasters, Channel 10.

Along the way, the Westerners shocked an international-packed Auckland side, then Canterbury-Bankstown, Manly (on a penalty countback), and finally Penrith in the final. The rags-to-riches story captured sports lovers the world over, with dome-headed Lithgow miner, “TV Ted Ellery”, everyone’s sentimental favourite!

The feat that became a book.

Rugby league journalist and author Ian Heads later recounted the biographical tale in a tome he tagged: “The Night the Music Died”.

Nine of the 23 players who took the field at Leichhardt Oval in the final – most of whom also played in a tough-as-nails, no-holds barred bloodbath against Great Britain in Orange earlier that year – are no longer with us, but their memories live on.

On Saturday, the famous team will be heralded at Cale Oval, Narromine as the

2024 Western Rams Under 16s, Under 18s, and Seniors’ sides, tackle Northern Tigers.

The “heroes” will present retro guernseys and reflect once again on what was achieved over those four compelling wet and wintry months, in a world not so very far away.

The Amco Cup players and families of those no longer here or too unwell to join them will also be acclaimed at a dinner in the RSL Memorial Club after the matches in Narromine are finished.

THE SUNDY BOWLER

Highs and lows for Gordon, as luck departs like the wind Contributed by ‘PISTOL PETE’ FIFTY-FIVE bowlers rolled up early to test the pristine synthetics at RSL North Dubbo Sporties on Sunday.

In their game of triples, Leo Balstad, John Davis, and Mike Twohill, thought they were winners against Ron McCauley and Ray and Mick Strawhan after the first eight ends. Leading seven shots to four, they soon found Mick doing the “catch-up”. On the final end, it came with a triple to even the score at 13 shots each, eight ends each. The fourth draw of the year.

Both sides dropped three singles and one triple to ensure that Kevin Scott, Greg Brown, and Al Andriske, were in the hunt against Di Cullen, Julie Brown, and Tod

O’Dea. Julie did exceptionally well against her partner Greg, but her team just could not come-up with enough consistency to take the win. Kevin, Greg, and Al pulled in a five-end win on the return ends, and clinched a 17-11 win with a quintuplet on the 15th.

Gordon Scott’s recent rounds highlight the highs and lows of bowls. Last week, it was the ceiling; this week, the cellar. He and Chris Castlehouse and Gaye Cottee, cruised through the first half, a shot shy of Chris Castlehouse (playing as a swinger), Greg Hough, and Trevor Tink. Then, as though the wind turned, Chris, Gaye, and Gordon, were left floundering as Chris, Greg, and pressure, with a couple of five counts plus other multiples, snatched number one for the morning after

a demolishing 26-7 victory.

The luck was not with Sue O’Dea, Gary Huggins, or Pete Ruzans, as Daphne Dunbar, Chris Strojny, and Col Cottee pulled-out the big ones. Consistency was the key, as Daphne and co pulled-off a 19-9 win, claiming seven of the final eight ends and second place.

Col Dover added another win, this time with Frank Armstrong as in Pairs, against Pete Bennison and Tony Coady. The pair took 11 ends overall, banking 17 shots to nine for third place.

Good teams often beat fine individual efforts as Di Cullen, Steve Kelly, and Paul Goodstat proved against Ros Joseph, Allan Stratford, and Ian Humphries. After leading by a solitary, the trio drilled a five and a four to seize their match 23-13.

A good first eight ends by Gavin Cullen, Cheryl Storch, and Anthony Coe was enough to keep Paul Martin, Ruby Stockings, and Brian Jones from the lead. It was 11-6 at the turnaround, and stayed that way with 18-13 the final score.

A never-give-up attitude was set by Di Hildebrant, Roger Sherwin, and Phil Knight, as Mary Perry, Ross Pharo, and Graham Ross, took a four-shot lead. More pressure by Phil and his side in the second half, netted four sets of doubles and a 13-all score line with one to play.

Another quad and Di, Roger, and Phil were home. It was Roger’s third win out of four games and he remains in contention for Bowler of the Year.

It was a tough first half for Pat

Sherwin, Helene Emblen, and Trish Gosper, as Sue McCauley, Ruth Shanks, and Bryan O’Sullivan took charge with a seven shot advantage. Trish’s side pulled back four on end nine, but found it a bit too much of a struggle and went down by two, 14-12.

Vicki Hummel and John Cole also held-off a ferocious challenge from Pete Sinclair and Therese Gaio who shed an eightshot deficit to win by two.

After the AGM, the office bearers for 2024 are Tom Gray (Patron), Graham Ross (Vice-President), Bryan O’Sullivan (Treasurer), Pete Ruzans (Secretary), Gordon Scott, Ian Humphries, Phil Knight, Steve Kelly, Pete Bennison, Gary Huggins, and Mel Giddings (Committee Members).

MOSTLY one associates “breaking” with eggs; on Sunday though it was the “layers” themselves, who failed to produce to their times!

A bevy of breakers bounded out of the off the blocks at breakneck speed, thereby botching-up the clockers!

With all the Ducks subsequently disqualified; they created a kick-board event, as seen in the attached images.

“It was a bit of fun for all and great to see an ‘old fox’ back to steal the points,” Cap’n Dave Sparkes mulled.

“Brian Schloeffel bounced back from a spell following ankle surgery, and busted everyone with the board,” he added.

Sunday also saw the annual Vern Traegar Trophy race; the data is in, but Ducks will have to hold their quacks until the presentation night, to gaggle about the winner!

Other results for the Sunday, February 25, - 2x25-metre relay event, were: winners, Bill Greenwood/Marg Ross; second-place, Glen Mitch/Sparkesy; third, Jacob Pearce/Judy Walsh; fourth, Craig Ross/Nicole Johnstone; and Janine Gardner/Neil Harris.

Twin touchies, Madi and Nic, head to UK for the tip footie World Cup

By GEOFF MANN

A YOUNG stalwart and a veteran debutant, will represent the Golden West at the elite level of their chosen footie code in the northern summer.

While Madi Crowe has been a staple in the Australian Emus Women’s Touch team for a number of years, Dubbo Touch President, Nic Grose, also achieved a lifelong dream after her recent selection in the 2024 squad for the upcoming World Cup. Nic will represent in the greenand-gold in the 40s team at Birmingham in mid-July, with two Touchies from Dubbo now playing at the highest level!

Madi moved to Dubbo five or six years ago with her now-husband, CYMS Peter McDonald Cup-winning winger, Corey Drew, and is excited to have her clubmate, Nic, travelling to England with her.

“It’s honestly amazing! I’m so happy for her, she really deserves it,” Madi said.

“Nic’s worked hard, and I’m just stoked to be over in England and see her in that jersey!” she added.

Nic was typically humble with her selection; celebrating the success of the State Youth Cup Touch Championships while feeling personally chuffed at her personal achievement.

“It was a bit of a shock, but I’m certainly super excited for it,” Nic said.

“I never thought I’d get the opportunity to play for Australia as a senior, but that’s the beauty of Touch Footy, you know you can represent as an older person.”

Nic said that her selection at a mature age, could serve as an inspiration for young touchies everywhere.

“I think the kids can look at that, and say, ‘if I can’t make it now, it’s not the end of the world, opportunities can come at any age’.”

Nic, who has also played League Tag and Tackle with ‘Mads’ at CYMS, was effusive in praising the current Emu. “Massive congrats as well, she’s an absolute gun; Mad’s is great to have around at our local comp.

“She is from another level, you know, lightning quick and people look at her and say, ‘who’s that’ and we say, ‘oh Mads, she’s an Australian player’,” Nic said.

She said having such a star locally, did wonders for the Dubbo league.

It’s pretty good!

She’s so well-known down here, she’s great to have around; Inspiration!” Nic concluded.

The Touch twins will now train together with teammates from all over the country, ahead of the World Cup tournaments running from July 15–21 in the Old Dart.

their peak - vote of confidence Million-dollar baby - new At at Paramount Tennis Club AGM surface for Barden Park

SPORTS stadiums are only as good as their competitive surface; with Dubbo‘s Barden Park Athletics Centre of Excellence, having their synthetic running track replaced in March under a million-dollar deal.

While this is good news for local and regional athletes, the works will require the facility being closed to all users from Monday, March 11, for about six weeks, weather permitting.

The synthetic surface is being replaced to ensure that the track can remain accredited by the International Association of Athletics Federations; a requirement for hosting major athletics events.

The resurfacing process will involve grinding-back the current surface, and

then laying a new synthetic top-coat over the track, work that is largely being funded by the NSW Government, Dubbo Mayor, Councillor Mathew Dickerson said.

“Being able to renew and maintain Council assets like Barden Park’s synthetic track through external funding, is a positive result for our community,” Cr Dickerson said.

“Barden Park is a wellused facility with over 35 school athletics carnivals, regional and state athletics titles held at the facility annually in addition to local weekly club meets and training sessions,” he added.

The facility has been the region’s premiere athletics facility for a decade, hosting numerous Statewide events over the years, he said.

“Since opening the facili-

ty in 2014, Dubbo has been able to attract a number of major athletics events on an ongoing basis including NSW Little Athletics State Multi Event and Athletics NSW Country Championships, which provide a boost to the local visitor economy each year.

“Council staff have notified regular user groups of the closure and coordinated the works to be completed outside of the usual school athletics carnival season to minimise disruptions,” Cr Dickerson concluded.

The total investment of the resurfacing works at Barden Park is $1,236,496 and will be undertaken by a specialist contractor. The upgrades received $1,060,000 in funding from the State Government towards the project.
