AGING: a stage for new opportunities and strength

S

By LANA EATHER

everal years ago, Ruth Trappel had a fall at home and suffered from a resulting injury. She ended up in an aged care facility in the Hunter area for three-and-a-half years, with a majority of that time being over the COVID lockdown period.

When Ruth was eventually able to travel, she decided to holiday with her daughter in Dubbo. “Each Friday I extended that week’s holiday to another week, for four Fridays. Then I decided this would be my new home.” Ruth packed her belongings, and her elderly dog Tilly, and found her new home at Horizons Village in Dubbo.

Ruth has lived a fulfilling life with her husband Bruce whom she then met as a 17-year-old telephone exchange operator. Bruce was a linesman fixing a faulty system whom inadvertently insulted the operators: his apology commenced a romance and a 53-year marriage. “Bruce had a bucket list… owning a truck, travelling to the West Indies to see a cricket test, and going to England to watch the Ashes.

We were lucky to do all that before he got dementia and before he passed away.”

At almost 79 years old Ruth hasn’t let anything slow her down. After almost four years of not driving or travelling, Ruth is now a regular driver to Maitland and has

just finished several cruises to New Zealand and Fiji. “I have also just joined the Advisory Group for Disability and Aged Nursing Service (DANS In Home Care).

We contribute information back into the board, and provide feedback. I have also continued my love of history, and have written a book about my husband’s family history. I’m working on my mother’s family history as well. I have just become

a life-member of the Maitland Historical Society after spending many years researching and assisting the setup of the society. I’m still going… still laughing and still enjoying life.”

Roslyn Barker began life as the fifth child of 17 children living in Brewarrina. At 42, her father became a paraplegic, and her early memories involved his continued optimism and positivity for life. “He taught me

a lot about embracing your life with the people around you. I haven’t had the easiest life of late but all I can control is my attitude. I can stay happy and in control. It is what it is, and I can make sure I never give up,” shares Roslyn.

Roslyn was diagnosed with lung cancer in mid-2023 after also having diabetes and kidney disease. Roslyn sought early diagnosis after watching many family members pass away from cancer over her lifetime. Roslyn is passionate about encouraging early diagnosis and treatment.

“As an Aboriginal Elder, I want to encourage everyone to seek medical treatment as soon as they notice symptoms and get regular checks. Chemo has knocked me around but I’m so glad I found out early. I’m also so thankful to have Disability and Aged Nursing Service (DANS In Home Care) support after my diagnosis. They were angels sent to help me, and I’m able to choose the assistance I need.”

Local organisation Disability and Aged Nursing Service’s (DANS In Home Care) motto is ‘Thrive at Home’ and Director Jacqui Martel believes that aging is a new stage of opportunity and strength. Their staff support clients like Ruth and Roslyn to gain the support they need and engage in opportunities while building strengths and interests.

COURAGE, HEROISM, AND PATHOS:

Poli’s poetry on Cretan campaign COURAGE, heroism, and pathos in one of the great strategic battles of World War II is the subject of a new work from a local author with direct family links to the tragedy.

Into the Moonlit Village by Dubbo poet Paulette ‘Poli’ Sansey recognises Australian Diggers’ stoic contribution to the 1941 defence of Crete which – largely due to poor decision-making and leadership – ultimately left thousands of Australian servicemen as longterm prisoners of war in Germany.

Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton recently congratulated Ms Sansey on being awarded more than $7000 for her work through the Saluting Their Service (STS) Commemorative Grants Program.

“The book is all about the Battle of Crete, which occurred during World War II in 1941, resulting in a four-year occupation of the Greek island by Nazi German soldiers,” Mr Coulton said.

“The book is deeply personal for

Poli, who was born in the Cretan prefecture of Rethymno, and grew up hearing stories of the war and occupation from her mother, who was a child at the time,” Mr Coulton said.

Poli’s own grandfather was tragically executed in what was known as the ‘Holocaust of Kedros’ at the very end of the occupation in August, 1944, as part of a reprisal campaign mounted

by Nazi German soldiers, leaving her grandmother a widow with five teenaged children. Like so many others in the Amari villages, the family house was dynamited.

“Ever since returning to the family village as an adult, Poli knew she wanted to write a body of work about the Occupation and Resistance, but it wasn’t until she met artist Michael Winters, whose linocuts about the Battle of Crete inspired her poetry, that the project took shape,” Mr Coulton explained.

“Australian soldiers played a

critical role during the battle and occupation – in fact, it was the first time the Anzacs were reformed following Gallipoli – and this book is a way of honouring them, as well as the local resistance effort.”

Ms Sansey said the grant will cover a large part of the publication costs for a work that is close to her heart.

“Growing up, my mother spoke to me and my sisters of her childhood memories during the battle and occupation in Crete,” Ms Sansey said.

“High up in the mountains of Rethymno, she met Australian soldiers throughout the 1940s, never knowing that, 20 years later, she would be emigrating to Australia,” she added.

While the Second World War might seem a long time ago for many Australians, for those Europeans who lived under German Occupation, it is still living memory.

“To this day, Australians are welcome throughout Crete for the courage they displayed on the battlefield; Australians need to know about this place over there that just loves Australia so much.

“It was a great honour and a long-held ambition to work on a book of this kind,” Ms Sansey concluded.

The Saluting Their Service (STS) Commemorative Grants

Program is designed to recognise the contribution and sacrifice of Australia’s service personnel in wars, conflicts, and peace operations, and their families.

Grants of up to $10,000 are available for community-based commemorative projects and activities, with Batch One 2024 applications open until June 20, for more information, go to:  tinyurl.com/STgrant2024

SECONDHAND BOOKS

It was more than 30 years ago that I visited Michael Powell at Powells Bookstore in Portland, Oregon USA. And the experience was most informative, one key element being the manner that traded in Secondhand Books. Because to the people's wide interest in books where so often out of print titles are needed, such books have become an important part of our activity. Sometimes we receive secondhand books of very rare status. Here are arrivals last week - their price indicates their RARE status. (Compare them on AbeBooks)

Twilight event for Guide Dogs

By LANA EATHER DUBBO Guide Dogs Support Group invites the region’s community members to join a wonderful fundraiser ‘Twilight Drinks and Canapes’ on Saturday, April 6, from 6pm in the gorgeous Regand Park Homestead Garden at 7 Avalon Place, Dubbo. The evening will support much needed funds for the Guide Dogs NSW/ACT. It is a wonderful chance to view the gardens and homestead which display a delightful mixture of Victorian and Federation architecture and features dating back to the late-1880s. The property was purchased by Sue and Michael Egan in 2018, and has been lovingly maintained, restored and extended since then.

The Dubbo Guide Dogs Support Group has been operating from the 1970s, and participates in many fundraising opportunities each year. In the lead up to the Twilight Drinks and Canapes event they will be selling raffle tickets at the bottom of the escalators in Dubbo Square on Fridays and Saturdays. The fabulous raffle prizes include a child’s John Deere trike and wagon, a Maria Oates artwork, a Google Nest Mini device, Mink & Me gift voucher, Scott’s Parts Plus voucher and Nepali restaurant voucher.

Tickets are $2 each or three for $5, and cash or electronic

payments are available.

Local Annette Ferguson and her guide dog Leo dropped in to support the Dubbo Guide Dogs Support Group’s efforts, and is excitedly anticipating the Twilight Drinks and Canapes evening. Leo is eight years old and has been with Annette for six years. The process to become a fully working guide dog is a remarkable program.

Selected puppies undergo an intensive five-month training period with a guide dog instructor to learn the complex skills needed to become a guide dog. Each dog has tailored training to suit their temperament and personality.

As the program progresses, dogs learn to travel through confusing and crowded areas

so they can master commands associated with a complex sequence of events. Annette shares: “Leo is so smart… he is the cleverest dog ever!

He has been on many, many flights and trips, and has given me a huge amount of freedom and confidence. I am so thankful for him, and my first guide dog Delta.

Delta has now retired, and lives with me. I couldn’t imagine my life without Delta and Leo.” Tickets are available on 123Tix for $60 per person and includes a welcome drink on arrival. Please RSVP by April 2, 2024, for an evening of enjoyment and recreation in the peaceful Regand Park grounds.

Dubbo’s very-own Way of the Cross event at Mugga Hill vision of Calvary G

By DAVID DIXON

ood Friday is one of the holiest days on the Christian calendar, with a local devotional walk that draws hundreds to a special service on a property outside of town, on again this year.

The Way of the Cross is held at a private property at Mugga Hill with up to 1000 locals and visitors attending the event in previous decades.

The service follows a series of 14 crosses – representing the stages of Christ’s crucifixion – that are also illustrated by a progressive collection of images or carvings typically found on the internal walls of Catholic Churches worldwide.

Local St Brigid’s parishioner, Mike Twohill, was at the first Dubbo event in 1980, and will be there again on next Friday, March 29, from 10am.

“The crosses were built on the property that was owned by a local Catholic family, and we gather at the crosses for prayers and devotions as you walk along,” Mr Twohill said.

“The event is being officiat-

ed at by Father Greg Kennedy, but it’s an inter-denominational event, anyone can attend,” he added.

The property is off the Golden Highway as you head towards Dunedoo and attendees don’t have to bring anything but themselves, prayers and readings are provided.

Good Friday is commemorated in Christian churches as the day on which Jesus Christ was crucified at Calvary in Jerusalem nearly 2000 years ago.

A sombre period of reflection, it contrasts with Easter Sunday, a time of colour and celebration, representing Christ’s rising from the dead on the Third Day after his internment by the Roman Governor.

The ecumenical commemoration of the Passion of Christ, as the event is known in Church theology, is all about having faith, Father Kennedy said at a previous service: “We proclaim our faith in the one Lord, who suffered and died for us,” he added.

The nose always knows! Think about your tanks, on Water Day WITH World Water Day on this Friday, March 22, now is the time to think about the health of your tanks, Richard Teague believes.

Principal of Tank Clean, Dubbo, Richard says that in regards to the health and safety of your self-contained home water supply, it’s rubbish in, rubbish out!

“I can do everything for your tank, clean them, repair them, fix them,” Richard said.

“They say to have them drained and cleaned about every four years, but if you don’t have trees overhanging them, and you’ve had good rainfall like in recent years, you can stretch that out easy-enough to five,” he added.

He said that between times, when using tank water off your own roof, the nose always knows!

“If it starts to smell or taste a bit ‘off’, a bit tainted, then you’ve probably got a problem,” Richard said.

Experts believe that you have to have your water tanks drained and cleaned about every four years, but if there's no trees overhanging the tank, and you’ve had good rainfall, you can stretch that out to five,.. PHOTO: NSW WATER WISE

“You can’t imagine what I’ve taken-out of peoples tanks, mice, birds, dead frogs, if it’s not tasting or smelling right, call in the

experts.”

With almost all new free-standing homes in NSW required to have water tanks attached to the

house, people are increasingly turning to nature’s way to quench their thirst.

“Absolutely 100 per cent, with all the issues you can have with tank water, it’s still generally way better than tap water,” Richard believes.

“It doesn’t have the chemicals, it’s healthier, it tastes better, and it’s better for the environment.”

Water tanks, however, like any outside storage facility, must be maintained, if you see a leak, call now, Richard said.

“Nothing’s cleaner than rain water, it’s fantastic, but you have to maintain it, not a single person thinks of it, until something goes wrong.

“What happens is, you’ve got other priorities, but the water comes from your roof, through a sieve, into your tank, you’ve gotta’ keep your gutters and roofs

clean,” Richard said.

World Water Day is an annual Nations observance held in late March, that highlights the importance of fresh water with the event used to advocate for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.

Dubbo Mayor, Councillor Mathew Dickerson, said that with the Macquarie River bisecting town, and ample bore infrastructure, water security is not the issue in the golden west, that it is elsewhere.

“It’s one of our competitive advantages, we’ve got the river and we’ve got some good bores,” Cr Dickerson said.

“And, while we do encourage people to use less, we’re not likely to run-out anytime soon… as the river goes down, we switch to the bores, and vice a versa,” he concluded.

N U R MUD Photos by KEN SM

The annual Titan Macquarie Mud Run, as it is every year, is muddy good fun.

There were plenty of first-timers, the looks on their faces priceless as they hit the mud for the very first time, and plenty who return each year after having a blast previously… some three, four, or even more times before.

The predicted rain visited briefly, with most not even noticing, as they were already well and truly wet and muddy.

The annual Titan Macquarie Mud Run is powered by volunteers and thanks to their involvement there were plenty to assist around the course.

Thank you to all the sponsors, your invaluable support is always appreciated.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

First month on a job includes life-long skill

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY AFTER his second week of working at Fletcher International Exports, the company enrolled Jonnie Riley in a forklift course to equip him with a licence and prepare him for duties working in the freezer in the cold loadout section.

The Warren-born, Tamworth-raised 32-year-old, recently moved to Dubbo after securing a position at the meat processing plant and said it surprised him how easy the staff made it to settle in and get started.

“I’d come to Dubbo to apply for jobs and my cousin said if you want to get a look in at Fletchers the best thing to do is, turn up and fill out an application, which I did and the next day I got a call back for an interview and within a week, I had a job.”

The city’s new resident did bring many years of experi-

ence working in a beef abattoir in northern NSW where he’d learned to use knives and had also done work as a wool classer.

“Working in the freezer load out is a lot cleaner than working with the animals but I did think I’d be put on the knives or working with the wool because of my background, but they just needed me in loadout, so that’s where I am.

“I’m glad they booked me in for the forklift course, and they paid for it too, so I’ve learned a new skill now and I’ve got my ticket which is a really good thing,” Jonnie said.

“The forklift course is three days, prac and theory, two days practicing for the theory test, and you can only get two wrong, you can’t get any of the math wrong. It’s the theory that scares people, but after two days of them drilling it into your mind and you’ve got to study too, you’re well

prepared.”

On a typical shift, he helps load about 1,000 pallets on a busy day, in a very cold environment which he said explains why he’s wearing three pairs of socks, a woollen beanie, heavy jacket and thick lined gloves.

“It gets cold in there.

“A robot packs and wraps the boxes of product ready to put on the pallets, then I forklift those off the machine onto the ground, and with a layer of cardboard between them, we stack about four palette loads on top, and they’re high so it was a bit scary to start with.”

New Dubbo Bridge project on road to diversity and inclusion

By DAVID DIXON

New Dubbo Bridge project is not just a major infrastructure project for the region, it’s also a span to a more inclusive economy and workforce. for Indigenous locals. IMAGE: TRANSPORT FOR NSW

NEW Dubbo Bridge project is not just a major infrastructure project for the region; it’s also a span to a more inclusive economy and workforce.

The multi-million dollar build is leading the way in Aboriginal participation with the employment target reached less than half the way through the project timeline.

Transport for NSW Director West Alistair Lunn, said the impressive Aboriginal Procurement Plan (APP) – previously known as the Aboriginal Participation in Construction (APiC) – participation numbers, meant the project was creating a legacy of diversity and inclusion within the Dubbo community.

“Dubbo is Wiradjuri country and home to more than 14,600 Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander residents, which is almost 16 per cent of the city’s population,” Mr Lunn said.

“It’s been a priority for Trans-

port for NSW and Abergeldie – our contractors building the New Dubbo Bridge – since day one, to consult with the local Aboriginal community and get the best outcomes we could,” he added.

Through a number of initiatives, he said, the project has been able to reach the targeted $2 million spend on Aboriginal employment just 15 months in to a 36-month contract.

The NSW Government requires a minimum 1.5 per cent of a project’s total contract value to be directed to Aboriginal employment, businesses, training and engagement and consultation.

The New Dubbo Bridge project has met this requirement through partnerships with local Aboriginal businesses including Torra Recruitment and Indigeco for labour hire, Workcontrol for traffic control, REDIE for cleaning, security and catering and ICAN for fencing, property adjustments and landscaping.

“Last May, we held prequalifi-

cation workshops for Aboriginal businesses in Dubbo where we were able to communicate what’s required to work on Transport for NSW sites and how accreditation could be achieved,” Mr Lunn said.

“We have been engaging in a number of inclusive initiatives such as Sista’s in Trade where three women were employed as a result, as well as Girls Can Too involving school visits and work experience.

Chairperson of the Dubbo Aboriginal Working Party, Robert Riley said the Stolen Generation Day at Wiradjuri Park was a significant step in building relationships with the local Aboriginal community.

“That was a day where Aboriginal community members came together and talked about the positive experience, many who hadn’t spoken to one another for years,” Mr Riley said.

“It’s been a true conversation between Abergeldie and Transport for NSW, and the Aboriginal community from the start,” he added.

Celebrating Indigenous Small Business morning tea

By JOANNE AUSTEN BROWN ON the morning of February 28, I attended a very special morning tea put on by Verto, Many Rivers, and Service NSW. Three incredible success stories were highlighted, and we were given the chance to meet those who started the endeavours, and see and try the products as well.

Native Secrets is a business started by Cherie and Phil Thompson here in Dubbo. They extract essential oils from wild-harvested Australian natives and transform them into the highest quality natural skincare products. It was good to hear Phil highlight what they do and how far they have come.

We then met Herb Smith from Dreamtime Tuka, also based here in Dubbo. They have come a long way from

their first product, Lemon Myrtle Slice. They now have a great number of products that are served on regional, interstate, and international flights with Qantas. Having tasted their product, it was great to hear how they have grown and expanded. They are also a credit to Dubbo and the Indigenous people who started them.

Finally, we met Megan Humphries from Binjang Teas. They are established in Wellington. She and her business partner Nadine have worked hard to create teas that have an Australian taste. Not just black tea but teas with native ingredients.

I love to drink tea and I was not disappointed. The native teas include Bush Green Tea, Binjang Country Chai, Bush Lemon Myrtle, and Ginger and Bush Peppermint. Plain black Teas are Breakfast and Earl Grey.

BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK

Marjorie L Green still has

plent y to say

at 97 years

I

By JOANNE AUSTEN BROWN

spent a morning with the wonderful and unstoppable Marjorie. At 97 years young she has every right to sit back and enjoy her quiet life. But she cannot. She has just released her tenth book, having started in the 1980s and is still writing.

I listened to her tell me of her life and times. She has very definite opinions of men and women, life, politics and many other topics and has written to politicians all over

the world. She is able to write both stories and poetry and is worth reading.

When interviewed by a media mogul in Sydney when she was looking for a job much later in life when most would be looking to retire, he said, “You’re a bit old to be the copy boy.” She laughed and said, “No I’m not.”

Her most-recent book Psychopath in Town is available from The Book Connection and online from Amazon.

Here is one of her poems: Alone Beside a Brook While listening to a murmuring brook, I rest my mind: Troubles and doubts fade as calm waters shower a stone.

The hurts seem to disappear when near this rippling wind, And boggy thoughts soon vanish as the five senses hone.

Smelling the clean air causes me to expand my lungs and sing: To feel cold stream water run over my fingertips is a memory to own.

I see nature at work: colourful birds drink, and are quick on the wing, It’s soothing to hear the trickling of little waves in winter’s sun.

To taste small sprigs of watercress is remembering.

Not far from home, I visit this place again and again.

‘Dog Man’ in Dubbo for one last show

Good dog versus naughty cat, friendship over meanness; Jack Dawson and Mackenzie Garcia in 'Dog Man the Musical' at Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. PHOTO: PETER WALLIS.

WITH its first couple of performances booked solid, families wanting to see a great kids show in Dubbo can still get tickets for the final live show.

Beloved children’s literary classic Dog Man is on at Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre on Monday, March 25.

The show is suitable for children from 6–12 years, and runs for 65 minutes.

Dog Man the Musical, by CDP Kids, follows the hilarious antics of a dog-headed policeman protecting his city, but who often finds himself in trouble when his

“dogginess” takes over.

Can Dog Man save the city from Flippy the Cyborg Fish” and his army of Beasty Buildings? Can he catch Petey, the world’s most evil cat, who has cloned himself to exact revenge on the doggy do-gooder? And will George and Harold finish their show before lunchtime?

Dog Man was first published in 2016 and is the third spin-off from Dav Pilkey’s successful Captain Underpants series. The show captures the hilarity and heart of Pilkey’s beloved characters as they make the leap from page to

stage.

Dog Man the Musical explores the themes of friendship and the triumph of good-hearted over mean-spirited, Dubbo Regional Events Manager Linda Christof explained.

“Dog Man, the Musical is one of those special shows that presents complex themes to young audiences in a way they will understand, all while being absolutely hilarious to children and adults alike,” Ms Christof said.

“DRTCC wants everyone to be able to join in and enjoy the show, so a visual story to help audiences

with additional sensory and learning needs has been developed by CDP Kids,” she added.

Students from Dubbo, Bogan Gate, Eumungerie, Nyngan, Tooraweenah, Wongarbon, and Yeoval have already booked shows to join in on this singing and dancing canine action adventure.

Tickets for the final performance on Monday, March 25, from 6pm, can be booked at: drtcc.com.au; by visiting the Box Office in person; or by calling on 6801 4378.

This production is supported by sponsors Maas and Marie Astley.

Joanne Austen Brown at the library Is it just me, or does this ladybug look like a Ninja Turtle shell?

RECENTLY a book-signing event was organised by The Book Connection at the Dubbo Library.

A number of people came to see our own local author Joanne Austen Brown. She spoke about her two

most recent publications Culloden and the third book in her ‘Come With Me’ series, Glenna’s Future.

She was also interviewed by Tanya Buckley about her other books and how she writes.

‘Sustainable House Day’ to The Real Estate Chat with Karen Chant from Chant and Co live your dream, organically The Importance of a Great Property Marketing Campaign

W

ITH our homes one of our biggest in-

vestments, many of us are now looking to integrate issues to do with reducing wastage, lowering energy bills, and sustainability, into the great Aussie dream.

A great property marketing campaign is essential for a successful sale. It involves various elements that highlight your property’s unique features and attract the right buyers.

Here’s what makes an effective property marketing campaign:

Sustainable House Day next month is therefore a great time to look at how you can build your new home, or renovate your old, with the future of our environment, and our planet, in mind.

Video: Videos, including virtual tours, offer viewers a feel for the property’s layout and atmosphere.

Such issues as how to get ideas out of your head and into a plan of action; tackling how to navigate planning requirements; identifying opportunities and constraints; and finding the right team to bring your vision to life.

Property Description: A well-crafted property description outlines the home’s features and appeals to potential buyers.

Next comes the basics that are essential to understand in order to achieve a sustainable build or renovation that is warm in winter, cool in summer, and cheap to run.

To create a successful campaign, consider these factors:

Choosing the right sustainable building materials for your project can also be a daunting task.

So talk through with your builder the pros and cons of various natural building materials like rammed earth, straw bale and recycled timber, as well as exploring innovative new materials and the ideal environments for their use.

Homebuilders should also dive into detail covering everything you need to know about windows, which is often one of the most expensive items of a build or renovation, and one of the most critical things to get right. It’s about learning key considerations to make when selecting the right windows, to optimise the liveabil-

Photography: High-quality photographs showcase your property in the best light, giving potential buyers a visual preview.

Floorplans: Floorplans help buyers understand the property’s layout, room dimensions, and flow.

Advertising: Your agent will recommend where to advertise, which may include online listings, print advertising, social media campaigns and more, depending on your property type and target market.

Identify your ideal buyer: Determine whether your property is suited for families, downsizers, investors, or other types of buyers.

Sustainable housing is the future, and it’s not too early to start making decisions now that will affect how you and your family enjoy the future in decades to come.

ity of your home as well as maximising thermal comfort.

Homebuilders should also consider how to achieve a sustainable build or renovation that is warm in winter, cool in summer, and cheap to run. Discuss with your builder what a difference orientation can make, as well as correct air flow and insulation.

Know where they search: Understand where your target buyers are likely to look for properties, whether it’s online portals, social media or print media.

Highlight your property’s unique selling points: Emphasise what makes your property special, whether it’s its condition, location, or potential.

Investing in a comprehensive marketing campaign increases your property’s visibility and chances of a successful sale. It’s an essential part of the selling process, helping your home stand out and attract the right buyers.

OUT ON A LIMB

by Gary Kopervas

ARIES: You may need to negotiate skilfully in various contexts such as at work or with your friends or partner to achieve harmony. You’ll have to make compromises and adjustments to cultivate happiness in all your relationships.

TAURUS: At work, you may experience some confusion and conflict. This could prompt you to start thinking about a career change. Take the time to weigh the pros and cons and get advice from those closest to you.

GEMINI: You’ll find yourself in a position to stand out. This could transform your life in the long term. Your value will be highlighted in a variety of ways, boosting your self-esteem and self-confidence.

CANCER: You may decide to move soon, especially if the family home has proved too big since your children left the nest. In your relationship, change could strengthen or rekindle your passion.

LEO: Your outspokenness will be evident as you express openly what others think in silence. A secret could leave you perplexed for a while. The Full Moon will have a revealing effect. A revelation will show you the way forward.

VIRGO: If you’re struggling financially, you could discover some interesting solutions. You’ll finally get the opportunity to invest in a project dear to your heart or, at least, to redecorate your home.

LIBRA: This will be an active and dynamic week. You may need to shake things up with certain people. Even if you prefer keeping the peace, it’s time to assert your position to re-establish harmony with those close to you.

SCORPIO: Your talents will increase tenfold, opening the door to a spiritual awakening. You’ll develop a deeper perspective and greater empathy, allowing you to see things in a new light. The artist in you could also be revealed.

SAGITTARIUS: A public comment or post on social media could inspire you. Someone close to you will play a key role in helping you become the person you’ve always wanted to be. This will guide you toward fulfillment and happiness.

CAPRICORN: If you have a jam-packed week, make sure to space out your appointments to avoid scheduling conflicts and minimise the pressure. Time is precious; carefully manage yours.

AQUARIUS: You could decide to radically change your life on a whim. This transformation could involve going back to school or starting a new career in line with your deepest aspirations.

PISCES: The heart has its reasons, which reason knows not. Even if you try to rationalise a situation, your emotions will influence your choices. Sometimes, you must step out of your comfort zone to move in the right direction.

“Rams” ladies, emulate our Amco Cup Rhyme of the weekend player — triumph, for half-century anniversary “Rain, rain, we don’t THE SUNDY BOWLER

stay away”!

By GEOFF MANN TO top-off a magnificent celebratory event on the 50th anniversary of Western Division’s 1974 Amco Cup triumph, the Western Rams Women’s league team brought home two Country Championship trophies from the Central

Coast last weekend.

It was a fitting reward for months of hard-work for the girls when the Lisa Fiola Youth team won their grand final, setting the foundation for an historic win by the Opens.

Captain of the Opens side, Bec Smyth, a former Australian Wallaroos World Cup for-

ward, said that the energy in her team was infectious.

“These young players never give up; they chase every opposition player and keep their focus on getting the ball over the line,” Bec said.

“We led 18-0, but coughed up a couple of tries after the break, then re-set our sights,

muscled-up in defence, and held the trophy high,” she added.

Bec says the players in green-and-white were well aware of the unique achievement of the Men’s Western Division team in 1974, and wanted to book-end the 50 golden years with their double wins.

NOT even an early shower of rain deterred 34 hardy and committed Sundy bowlers from mixing their skills and the unique enjoyment that only Sundy bowls brings.

As the greens dried-out, John Kennedy, Eric Satchell, and Mick Strawhan were confident they would show Chris Strojny, Ray Strawhan, and Zach Miller, how it’s done.

However over the first eight ends, it was the latter who did all the showing! Chris, Ray, and Zach took seven and led by eight to blow it out with a seven count on 10. Five more on 11, made the game safe – 25-11 was an awesome way to steal the major award of the morning!

John Zed, Mel Giddings, and Ricky See, then put Julie Brown, Cheryl Storch, and Graham Ross, to the torch turning a three-shot lead into 11 after 16 ends. They took seven of the post-break ends, with a couple of triples earning them second place for the day.

The morning rain had freshened up the greens, meaning that large scores became the thing! Leo Balstad, Frank Armstrong, and Al Andriske, showed that anything Di Hildebrant, Ruby Stockings, and Graham Millar, could do they could do better, bagging a five on the second to answer the quad at the first end. Another five on end six, meant a four-stroke lead and more fours on nine, ten, and 11, saw them home 22-11; third place for the morning.

Making his return to the Sundy bowls set, Matt Quill was granted the lead for Alex Rae, while Bryan O’Sullivan was given a leave pass to play the lead role for Anthony Coe. Matt and Alex sealed their win on the first eight ends, 12 shots up and with six more to add, they won 20-11.

Sue McCauley enjoyed being the lead, combining with Greg Brown and Col Cottee, to roll-up 11 shots and six of the first eight ends.

Daphne Dunbar, Steve Kelly, and Mike Twohill, scored just three, and though the second half was more even, Sue, Greg, and Col triumphed by 17-9.

Vicki Hummel and the “two Petes” – Bennison and Ruzans – led Ron McCauley, Allan Stratford, and John Cole by three at the turn after a nice four on end five. At end 12, chasers Ron, Allan, and John 5, were five down, but a double on 13 put them within striking distance. Strike they did, rolling-up seven shots for a lead of four. This clinched a 16-13 comefrom-behind victory.

Ron amazed everyone with his charge, rolling his bowls onto Jack many times in what was a hard-fought contest.

In the final, Webb and Hayman had a strong victory over Powell and Bojkowski, winning 19-12.

Winning the State Championship title meant a lot to Hayman, especially as she and Webb are partners in and off the green!

RSL-Colts and CYMS to fight out Whitney Cup Cricket Grand Final ACTION PICS

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL DESPITE rain affecting the final, Colts sealed their spot in the big show after dismissing Newtown for 137 and chasing that total down for the loss of just three wickets.

Spinners Greg Buckley and Mitch Bower, grabbed three wickets each for the winners before Mitch backed-up with 61 valuable runs on Sunday.

Captain Marty Jeffrey was 34 not-out at the end, with Jason Ryan adding a patient 27 against the persistent Newtown attack that was led by the Skinner brothers, Mat and Steve.

RSL Colts and CYMS will now clash in this weekend’s Grand Final in what is becoming a familiar end-of-season tradition.

In the Pinnington Cup Second Grade Grand Final, CYMS Cougars will meet Newtown Hawks, while CYMS Green will be hoping to kick-start a winning treble when they play Macquarie White in the Kelly Cup Third Grade Grand Final on Saturday.

Next week, Dubbo Photo News, will also bring you all the award-winners from the Dubbo District Cricket Association Presentation.

Touch, bowls, golf and mud Dubbo the centre of the sporting universe!

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL FORGET the NRL’s big matches in Las Vegas to kick the season off; Dubbo is currently the centre of the sporting universe!

First it was the NSW State Age Touch Championships; then the best female golfers converged on Royal Dubbo for the NSW Women’s LPGA Qualifying tournament; after that history-in-the-making with the NSW Multi-Disability and Open Bowls titles; and, finally the Mud Run! Our very-own happy-snapper, Mel Pocknall, was kept busy, teeing-off and putting with some fantastic golfers, then rolling-up at North Dubbo Sporties for the bowls, before heading-off to open the bowling in the cricket final.

However, our super-lensman called a halt at the thought of sliding through the mud at the big run!

In the golf, all eyes were on local rising star, Emma Murray in the Qualifiers. She let no-one down with her outstanding nine-underpar total to take the Low Amateur Trophy.

There is no doubt that this unique local talent can make it to the top, especially with the experience gained from playing with seasoned professionals.

Lawn bowls is for everyone!

By GEOFF MANN REPRESENTATIVE players from throughout the State put on a wonderful display at RSL North Dubbo Sporties last week to create history, as the first Multi-Disability NSW Championships that have been held in conjunction with the State Open finals.

The quality of the play was outstanding, with special interest in Club Dubbo Bowls Manager, Anthony Brown, who drew a large supporter base for the Pairs final. It took a World Champion in Jimmy Reynolds and his partner, however, to play their best, to take the title.

Anthony and Michael Vassallo were in it, though, until the last end, going down a hare’s breath, 22-20.

Anthony is hopeful of retaining his NSW shirt for the inaugural Test series against Victoria later in the year.

Olympic fun theme, for Masters of the Bush!

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL A TOTAL of 15 committed teams took to the artificial turf at Pioneer Park, West Dubbo last weekend for the fourth Masters of the Bush Vets Hockey tournament.

Sides from Newcastle, Canberra, Parkes and Dubbo competed but that number would have doubled if we had a second pitch according to Dubbo President Tracey Hardie-Jones.

“The 15 teams include some individuals who would love to bring their clubs but can’t because we cannot accommodate them with only a single field,” Tracey said.

Tracey is preparing for the upcoming Olympics in Paris and then two or three Hockey 5 events to be headed up by Kookaburra’s legend Brett Livermore.

First division (Green) was won by MTM G-Force from ACT 2-0 against ‘Tahs Connectios.

“The $500 prize money won by the ACT team was kindly donated back to the Dubbo Hockey Association to go towards the juniors, a very kind gesture which was much appreciated,” Tracey said.

Dubbo took the Gold (Second) Division 2-1 against ATP (Age To Perfection)!

A total of 150 people donned a colourful selection of Olympic themed costumes at Fri night’s dinner under the stars On Saturday, a Dash-for-Cash relay was perfect for the Dubbo girls to release their “inner Cathy Freeman” legs!
