ORISCON

supporting diversity and multiculturalism T

By LANA EATHER

he Orana Residents of Indian Sub-Continental Heritage (ORISCON Inc) is a volunteer-operated organisation that has been in the Dubbo area for over sixteen years.

ORISCON commenced as a social and cultural group to help community members from Indian sub-continental countries settle through the Central West region. It is a notfor-profit community-based organisation. Membership to ORISCON is encouraged and is open to all migrants who have their original homelands in the Indian sub-continental nations, or the wider diaspora including Fiji, South Africa and the United Kingdom.

The ORISCON organisation facilitates sporting, cultural and social events such as the Cross-Cultural Carnival. These activities take place in conjunction with many community partnerships. The organisation also acts as an advocate for the ORISCON community.

The goal is to support communities to settle and thrive in regional Australia, and more importantly, to support children and young people develop a

sense of pride in their culture and identity, as they move to be part of the broader Australian community.

The aim is to promote the benefits of diversity and multiculturalism. This is done while promoting and advocating for improved understanding of the needs of migrants as they make Dubbo and the Central West their home. ORISCON works tirelessly with non-government, government and private enterprises and the business sector to foster social cohesion, harmony, peace, cultural understanding and mutual respect so that we reap social and economic benefits as an Australian community.

The upcoming Annual General Meeting for ORISCON will occur on Sunday, May 26, 2024 at ORISCON Hall, 34 White Street, Dubbo, from 3pm. New members are welcome and can contact Gargi Ganguly on 0429771116 or Sanjay Chandran on 0430555339. The representatives nominated will continue to support the needs, wellbeing and success of the migrant community.

Dan Davidson set for fun in the sun at Stock Route Music Festival SOME fun in the sun is what marquee musician Dan Davidson is looking to bring to the 2024 Stock Route Music Festival at Dubbo’s Lazy River Estate on Saturday, 20 April.

Davidson will headline a country music festival that will also feature Travis Collins, Ashleigh Dallas, The Bushwackers, Max Jackson, Robbie Mortimer and Aaron Jurd Ju rd.

of high energy, a lot of good times.

If I know anything about Australians, it’s that they love to have a good time at a music festival. Keep those drinks in the air and keep people smiling from start to finish finish.”

Dav Davidson is happy to be back D Down Under soon.

“Th “The fans have been so great to me,” he said of Australia. “Australians and Canadian nadians are very similar… it’s it ’s llike i ik living in the other side si dee o of the mirror. It’s the sa ame but different.” Davidsame son sa said Australia and Canad da h ada have many similarities being small populations living on huge land areas.

Aus Australia is becoming a key m market for the guitarist an and singer. Long an indepen dependent artist, he has signed with Australia’s ABC Music Music. ABC Music Australia is a no noted supporter of independe pendent talent.

Dav Davidson has teamed with ffellow fe fell ell llow ow w Canadian Tim Hicks an a nd A and Australia’s Max Jackson to rrelease ee el new single Won’t Forg r et Forget.

Th his i song has an easy vibe This a an d su ssuits nice climates, Daand vids vi dsson on noted. “It’s kind of a vidson yyoung, yo un ng wild and free song,” Davi Da vid d Davidson said. “It’s perffect fe ctt timing ti for a Canadian ssummer su mm mm coming soon and forr A fo Australians trying to h ang on to the final days of ang hang ssummer.” su mm T Ti m Hicks and Davidson Tim ccollaborate co l ab ll regularly, while Davi Da vid vi d Davidson said he met Max Ja ack k so o when they both Jackson playe pl played Groundwater Music Fe est sti Festival on the Gold Coast.

“S “She (Jackson) struck a cho ch o chord with me,” Davidsson said. “Very talented, so ea easy to get along with.”

Davidson was a for-

mer guitarist-turned-lead singer in acclaimed Canadian indie rock band Tupelo Honey. Tupelo Honey “ran its course” according to Davidson and then he turned to country music.

The release of his second single Found in 2016 elevated Davidson to stardom. It was the number one country music song in Canada for several weeks, subsequently going ‘platinum’.

Amazingly, the video cost just around $500 US Dollars to make but was top-20 on Country Music Television (CMT).

“It was weird,” Davidson said. “I wasn’t quite prepared for the momentum that it was going to give me.

Since then, it’s just been keeping up with that momentum and continuing to put out great music.”

He said the past life in rock ’n’ roll set him up with valuable industry experience.

“I was green to country, but I wasn’t green as far as being a professional musician goes,” he said. “It really helped me out.”

Since Found Davidson has built a career that has included seven Canadian Country Music Award nominations, 10 Academy of Country Music Awards, a platinum record, a #1 selling Canadian song and record, top-20 charting numbers and hundreds of performances.

Albums Songs for Georgia, Juliet, 6 Songs to Midnight and Nineteen Eighty Something have followed. y g style y His easy-listening

has captured audiences worldwide.

The latest album is a musical mirror of the title with inspiration drawn from 1980s band The Police and also Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen.

The 80s were light and fun and he intended to bring that mood to the album. “It was very experimental,” he said. “A lot of the lyrics … had a lot to do with throwback nostalgia.

He will leave Canada for Australia on Friday, April 8 and spend two weeks here.

Davidson will play other gigs on Friday, April 12, (Dirty Harrys at Toowoomba) and then on April 13 at Campbelltown’s The Beer Shed.

The Campbelltown gig will be an acoustic performance, his first in Australia.

After those performances, his attention will then directly to the Stock Route Music Festival and Dubbo.

His favourite part of touring is trying to figure out “what the lens is that they’re (fellow performers and respective fans are) seeing the world through.”

Stock Route Music Festival directors Mat and Krissy Smith are delighted to have Davidson on board.

“We are thrilled to bring such an amazing lineup of artists to Dubbo for the third Stock Route Music Festival,” they said in a press release.

“This year’s event promises to be our best yet, with something for everyone to j y enjoy."

RURAL HEALTH MATTERS

In the sprawling landscape of Australian agriculture,

safety is paramount Since 2001, 1,742 individuals have tragically lost their lives due to non-intentional incidents on farms in Australia, with 32 deaths reported in 2023 alone. This figure, though declining, serves as a stern reminder of the inherent risks faced by agricultural workers on a daily basis.

AgHealth Australia’s recently published 2023

Non-intentional

farm-related

incidents in Australia report, funded by

cattle, motorbikes and tractors. These five agents alone accounted for 72% of all incidents reported in 2023.

To address the dangers or risks posed by quad-bikes and tractors, targeted safety programs and evidence-based solutions are necessary. These include fitting older quad-bikes with operator protection devices (OPDs), promoting helmet use, and implementing rollover protection structures (ROPS) on tractors.

AgriFutures Australia, plays a pivotal role in understanding and presenting farmrelated injuries and fatalities. By leveraging this data, we can work together to create safer and healthier work environments for farmers, workers and visitors.

Quad-bikes and tractors leading causes of farm-related deaths Quad-bikes and tractors continue to be the leading causes of farm-related deaths in Australia. With regard to injuries alone, quad bikes are the leading cause by a significant margin, followed by horses,

Seatbelt use is also crucial in preventing injuries on farms, serving as a vital safety measure against potential consequences.

In addition to physical safety measures, education and training provide workers with the knowledge and skills they need to identify and mitigate risks, and we can empower them to protect themselves and their colleagues from harm.

While progress has been made, continued investment in research, education and advocacy is essential to identify and address emerging risks in the agriculture sector.

Farm safety is not just a matter of statistics Farm safety is about protecting the lives and livelihoods of those who work tirelessly to put food on our tables. Despite the progress made in recent years, there is still work to be done to ensure that every farmer returns home safely at the end of the day.

Of course, safety is not just the responsibility of individual workers; it requires a coordinated effort from all stakeholders in the agriculture industry, including farmers, industry organisations, government agencies and the wider community.

By working together, we can create a culture of safety that prioritises the wellbeing of agricultural workers and reduces the risk of accidents on farms. Whether through research, education or advocacy, there is a role for everyone to play to ensure farming remains a safe and sustainable profession for generations to come.

eaf and hard of hearing students from around the region came together and enjoyed “Dogman – The Musical” at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre. This theatre experience was coordinated by the Itinerant Support Teachers Hearing Staff from the Department of Education.

After the show, students were escorted by teachers to the park opposite the theatre, where they enjoyed a picnic lunch, socialised and played on the fun playground equipment.

Bringing deaf and hard of hearing students together helps to break down isolation barriers, improve language and develop social skills. These experiences are important for the growth of self-esteem, building of resil-

ience and promotion of inclusive communication strategies as essential life skills. Often students develop life-long friendships when they meet during these activities.

Students were also invited to participate in a “Dogman – The Musical” colouring in competition.

The winners were Katarina Richards from Buninyong PS Year K2, Mayarrah Duncan from Buninyong PS Years 3-4 and Caitlin Reid from Peak Hill CS Years 5-6. Each winner received a Dogman Book, a Lego pack and a chocolate Easter Bunny.

This experience was kindly subsidised by the Dubbo District Deaf Club with funds received from a Dubbo Regional Council Grant.

Preparing for next drought, councils team up for new Orana Region Plan Ms Comber said. “From community to economy, droughts impact us on many levels, so being able to develop a solid, tangible plan of action with our partners will be of great benefit to the Dubbo Region and beyond,” she added.

The program acknowledges that council and community from the wider region can learn from previous droughts and plan for broader community implications.

“The plan will take into account previous and existing regional strategies from the Dubbo and Narromine areas that aim to mitigate the effects of drought.

DRC staff are looking forward to working with Narromine to see our combined knowledge feed into the formulation of

this Drought Resilience Plan.

“Droughts don’t consider local government borders,” Ms Comber said.

NSC Director Community and Economic Development Phil Johnston believes that this initiative is a great opportunity to work with a neighbouring Council. “Our whole region has been affected by droughts in the past, especially those which have lingered for years,” Mr Johnston said. “We look forward to hearing ideas from the community about improving our resilience in dry times.”

Community engagement for the Drought Resilience Plan will begin in March 2024.

Fire fighters seek better conditions to retain members

A JOVIAL take on a serious issue.

THAT is how Dubbo fire fighter Tim Anderson described his team wearing Hawaiian shirts recently as the Fire Brigade Employers Union (FBEU) seeks better conditions for its members who dedicate their lives to keeping buildings and people as safe as possible in times of crisis.

Recently FBEU members from across the state went to Parliament House in Sydney to lobby state government for better conditions and resources.

Anderson is the NSW Country representative on the FBEU. He has been a fire-fighter for 25 years.

First working across western Sydney for 15 years, before moving to Bathurst and Orange, he has been the station officer at Dubbo Fire Brigade for 18

months.

Dubbo Fire Brigade has four permanent and 22 retained fire-fighters.

Anderson said these numbers are adequate.

He said issues such as pay, equipment and resources at the Dubbo Fire Station on Wheelers Lane are a bigger concern.

The station has only three showers available.

Access to amenities or recline when required are dormitory style, meaning everyone is in the same room which does not cater for females or others that may require their own private space.

When members from other fire stations come to Dubbo to fight a fire, there can be teams of 50 involved.

“You simply cannot get that many people through three show-

ers efficiently after a call-out,” he said.

“We are working with facilities that are not fit-for-purpose.”

It is important that fire fighters shower promptly after attending fires and other incidents to try and reduce the effect of contact with chemicals and other potential toxins.

Fire fighters are at greater risk of developing cancer than the general public.

The vehicle fleet used also needs upgrading.

Anderson said there has been instances where fire trucks have broken down on the way to call-outs.

He said the vehicles need to be replaced every 15 years to ensure they remain roadworthy.

“It’s hardly ideal when you are trying to help people,” he said.

%DOO $LWNHQ %DQG Ɓ|Ù »Ä

:_bb_ed @Wc[i

The group dressed up in Hawaiian shirts recently before Anderson headed to Sydney.

This move was a play on the decision of former Prime Minister Scott Morrison to take a holiday to Hawaii in December 2019 while Australia was facing a bushfire crisis.

“Wearing those shirts is a light-hearted way of expressing our views to the government,” he said.

“We simply are not remunerated well enough to go overseas to Hawaii.

“He (Scott Morrison) doesn’t hold a hose but can afford to go overseas. We hold a hose and can’t.

The conditions we seek improvement on will help keep fire fighters in the job and attract new people to consider this as a career.”

Another group of firies wore

flannelette shirts in a photo to depict their country roots.

Anderson said the FBEU is seeking an eight per cent pay rise within 12 months, followed by six per cent annually for the two years following.

They also want fleet vehicles maintained to satisfactory levels and stations to be ‘fit-for-purpose’ in 2024 with dual-gender access to amenities and other social needs considered and implemented.

The FBEU website stated before the rally: “All FBEU off-duty members are reminded that the FBEU will be marching tomorrow to the steps of State Parliament in a mass membership rally for the ‘Respect, Protect, Value’ industrial campaign.”

Anderson said Dubbo Fire Brigade has received support within the community.

VOLUNTEERING IN FOCUS

BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK

Dubbo meetings are looking to future of helping others

By DAVID DIXON TRACKING the present and future of volunteering is the aim of a series of focus groups being held in Dubbo.

The “State of Volunteering” events aim to drill down into recent studies to examine how different groups in the community interact with the not-forprofit sector, and are being run by the peak body in NSW for the industry, the Centre for Volunteering.

Through a series of invitation-only get-togethers, the conference is looking at key demographics: youth volunteering, volunteering in sport, women in volunteering, and volunteering and older people, CEO, Gemma Rygate explained.

“Last year, we published a report on the State of Volunteering in NSW, the report showed that a total of 4.3 million people volunteer in NSW, about 63.9 per cent, nearly two-thirds, of the population,” Ms Rygate revealed.

“We try not to talk about this in monetary value, but volunteering is worth about $178 billion in NSW annually, that is the work that volunteers do for the common good, without any financial gain,” she added.

The aim of the Dubbo sessions, Ms Rygate explained, is to garner vital

feedback from important demographic groups to flesh out the initial findings of the State of Volunteering report.

“What we wanted to do, is to delve into the details of the particular groups, young people, older persons, sports, and women, in rural and regional areas.

“It’s not a training course or recruitment drive, it’s essentially a data-gathering exercise.”

The information revealed in the Dubbo event – as well as that from focus groups being held in other regional areas including Tamworth, Bathurst, Newcastle, and Wagga Wagga – will aid their work, Ms Rygate said.

“It’s a fact-finding mission so we can hear from people, so that we can develop and present supplementary reports.

“Flowing out of that, it’s about needing to know what motivators, training, initiatives, encourage people to volunteer… we know that these things are different in country than metropolitan areas,” Ms Rygate said.

She also encouraged locals to consider nominating for their annual volunteer awards that recognise the selfless work that quiet heroes do in our community.

under a bushel, Ms Rygate is encouraging locals to be put forward for these commendations.

“Any volunteer should be nominated; it’s about recognition and acknowledgement of effort, and we are particularly keen for country people to enter,” Ms Rygate said.

“We usually have about 133,000 nominations, after which we hold 35 regional ceremonies, with Dubbo’s at the end of September this year,” she concluded.

Life-long love of timber

MAKE RAMIENS TIMBER CO. YOUR VERY FIRST-STOP FOR ALL TIMBER PROJECTS

G

rowing-up within the sight, smell, and sound of the local timber-mill, Heather Ramien, has always loved wood.

Which is one reason why, Ram˜˘ˡ˦ ˇ˜ˠ˕˘˥ ˦˛ˢ˨˟˗ ˕˘ ˬˢ˨˥ Ѓ˥˦˧ʠ stop shop for all wood products, whether it be structural, lining, decking, windows, mouldings, pergolas, or doors.

“As I walked to school in Cobar, each day, the timber mill was across the road so, in a sense, I grew-up with the awareness of it all around me,” Heather explained.

“I love timber, the smell of it, it’s warmth, it’s so natural, it brings heart to anything and is so versatile… it’s also renewable,” she added.

Dubbo is very lucky to have one of the State’s longest-established and most prestigious suppliers of wood of every variety on our doorstep. With her husband, Max being third-generation timber millers and merchants in western NSW, their daughters Lauren and Sophie Lou are the fourth generation in the timber trade. There’s nowhere better for anything in timber you need.

“We worked for years with Max’s father and brother, and eventually bought-the business.

“We’re totally unique, being Cypress millers and merchants for decades, we now retail as many different species and

forms of timber you can imagine,” Heather said proudly.

Centrally-located from their purpose-designed outlet at 1–15 Cobbora Rd on the corner of Fitzroy and Erskine Streets, and with plenty of on-site and off-site parking, Ramiens are your dedicated timber dealer for every possible use of this most versatile of products.

“There’s so many variations, you can use timber for practically everything, it’s versatile, an honest product, and even it’s waste, sawdust, has so many practical uses!”

Whatever you’re building, or for personal needs, Ramiens offer a timber product, that will do the

job, Heather said. Ramiens also have a selection of quality paints and oils to preserve your timber ˔ˡ˗ ˦ˣ˘˖˜˔˟˧ˬ Ѓ˫˜ˡ˚ ˛˔˥˗˪˔˥˘ʡ “We have dozens of species and forms of wood for all sorts of uses from laminated, prepressed, sheet products, plys, decking, veneers, formwork, anything in wood, we can do!

“People come in and they don’t know what to expect, we have ˘˩˘˥ˬ˧˛˜ˡ˚ ˙˥ˢˠ ˖˨˦˧ˢˠʠˣ˥ˢЃ˟ing for new builds and contemporary houses, to restoration for National Trust homes.

“We have hardwoods, softwoods, engineered products, mouldings, large and small end section timbers, landscaping and so much more…literally, in the warehouse.

“In the showroom there’s artisan created timber sculptures to hang in your home or business, solid timber dining tables, dining chairs, coffee tables, vanities, outdoor tables, bench seats, even children’s table sets.

“You’ll love the solid timber slabs to create something yourself, or have our team create something for you. Some of the species we stock are cypress, Australian natives, New Guinea rosewood, jarrah and mahogany,” Heather concluded.

Lucky Bob and his beloved Voigtländer SNAPS OF AUSTRALIA FROM ANOTHER TIME

By DAVID DIXON

n the innocent days before digital cameras, automatic settings, self-focussing lenses, and smart phones, amateur photography was a technical craft as well as a creative pastime.

(Mostly) lifelong local Robert Bradford was one such shutterbug working in the great Aussie outdoors for decades while taking some wonderful images of the Land Down Under.

We show here a handful of his unique

images – scanned from the original chemical-film hardcopy prints – which were all taken from the 1950s to the 1970s on his peerless 1940s German-made Voigtländer camera.

“I grew up in Gollan and at a property, ‘Blue Hills’ at Tooraweenah, I went to school in Dubbo, but I always loved the bush,” he explained.

“I worked in both the Northern Territory for the Lands and Surveys Office, and

for the Ag Department in NSW on pasture protection – rabbit, dingo, and fox control on travelling stock routes – that sort of thing, and I always liked taking photos that I thought were interesting,” he added.

His travels, he said, showed him a side of Australia that few witness.

“You’ve seen nothing like the ‘morning glory’ cloud formation in the Territory, that comes in from the coast and rolls

across the hinterland like a wave,” he recalls.

“Mostly, I used Aboriginal guides in the bush; soon as they saw you were interested in what they could show you, they were great companions.” Here are a sample of his images from an Australia that, in many ways, no longer exists.

“It was a wonderful experience, all of it. I was just lucky, I guess!” Bob concluded.

Modern Dubbo's surprising French roots:

The Serisier family Locals may know the name Jean Emile Serisier from the local bridge, and also that of a RHINO business award, but not be aware of its origins. The man was credited with being one of the original European founders of our city who was originally from Bordeaux in the south of France.

By DAVID DIXON FRANCE and Dubbo are not places that one normally associates together, but history is a funny thing.

Many locals may already know the name Jean Emile Serisier from the local bridge, and also that of a RHINO business award, but not be aware of its origins.

Serisier is the man credited with being one of the original European founders of our wonderful city; a settler, trader, wine-maker, and magistrate, who was originally from Bordeaux in the south of France.

Local historian Patrick Bourke recently contacted Dubbo Photo News with this fascinating fact, via a link to a news article that ran in the Dubbo Liberal and Macquarie Advocate, about a direct descendant of Serisier’s, in 1954.

“This year, 70 years ago, Errol Bayliss Serisier – the grandson of Jean Emile Serisier, the founder of Dubbo – was made a Life Member of the Dubbo RSL Sub Branch,” Patrick revealed.

“He had been a very active member of the Dubbo RSL since its formation during 1918, being a committee member, secretary, and president, as this newspaper news item testified, and also the mayor of Dubbo for many years,” he added.

Jean Serisier (1824-1880) himself, was the youngest son of Emile Alexander Ser-

isier, shipping broker, and his wife Rose Marie, née Mavon. He arrived in Sydney in 1838 as a midshipman where, due to illhealth, he was placed in the care of Mr Despointes, a wealthy merchant.

In 1847, backed by Despointes and accompanied by Nicholas Hyeronimus, an inn-keeper from the Wellington Valley, Serisier travelled to the Central West to set up a store on R.V. Dulhunty’s Dubbo station.

Refused permission, they ventured further west and settled on the site of the future town of Dubbo, where Hyeronimus established an inn, and Serisier a general store.

After he petitioned for a site for a village, land held by George Smith was selected and surveyed, with Serisier buying blocks at the first auctions in 1851.

He managed a general store for Despointes and, by 1855, was also acting as local postmaster, dealt in stock, and later took-out an auctioneer’s licence.

On March 1, 1858 Serisier, aged 33, married Margaret (1840-1914), youngest daughter of Thomas Humphreys of Greenwich, England, in a ceremony performed first in St Mary’s Cathedral, Sydney, and then repeated in St Peter’s Anglican Church, Cook’s River.

In 1873, Serisier sold the store, and developed a vineyard on his 4000-acre (1620 ha) property, Emulga. He planted about 40

e c a l P e Th o Be! T

acres (16 ha) with vines and, after initial set-backs, within the next year, produced enough red wine for a vintage, which soon began to attract the attention of connoisseurs.

From 1859, Serisier was returning officer for the Bogan electorate and was one of three guarantors for the extension of the telegraph to Dubbo. A magistrate from 1862, he was prominent in local affairs and, for a time, was visiting justice to the gaol, and “guardian of minors”.

He also represented the Dubbo Free Selectors’ Association at the first and second Free Selectors’ conferences. On February 10, 1880, on a return visit to France, Serisier died of smallpox, leaving goods and inheritance of £2370 for his four sons, daughter, and his wife who survived him.

“This French immigrant, one of the first Europeans to occupy the site that would become the town of Dubbo, played a central role in the pastoral economy,” Patrick added.

“He was also one of the first people with capital to anticipate the emergence of agriculture,” he concluded.

His grandson, the war hero and mayor from 1938–44, and 1947–1949, himself died on September 10, 1958, aged 66 years.

Crystals, Creatives and Mystics Fair

By LAUREN ASHWORTH

The Crystals Creatives and Mystics Fair was held over the weekend with a great crowd of people travelling to attend the event. Many stall owners had travelled far from their homes just to showcase their items of handmade work. With crystals, fossils, handmade jewellery and candles, the fair had lots to showcase.

Simone, Eloise, Danielle and Liz

were the organisers for the event and welcomed each person with a warm presence and wisdom.

Each stall had their own unique items, with their owners able to bring copious amounts of information to give the customers.

The fair was held over the two days and – building on great success last year – this year has brought in more people than before.

VOLUNTEER groups in bush towns have all struggled with membership since the pandemic, with good news on that front for one of Wellington’s most selfless clubs.

Wellington Lions were pleased to recently welcome new member Smih Biplob who also received his very own name badge.

“You don’t have to be very active to help,” a club spokesperson said of the local service group.

“Just someone interested in helping the community and interested in attending meetings, as a secretary or treasurer!” they added.

Club meetings are on the second and fourth Mondays of the month in the Private Room at the Wellington Soldiers Memorial Club.

For those interested, some of their continuing fundraisers include a Pre-Loved Book Fair every

Thursday to Saturday from 10am– 2pm in the Western Gallery opposite Cameron Park in Wellington.

This involves thousands of books that have been donated from locals and Wellington Lions’ sister club of Kellyville, in Sydney, which has a wide choice of books to choose from.

Most editions only cost a gold coin, and all are sorted by genre for non-fiction, and alphabetically by author for fiction works.

There are even a couple of bookcases of “vintage” works and “specials” with all money raised going to local causes to the tune of about $18,000 last financial year alone.

For the next few months, all money will be going to fight against kids cancer via the Australian Lions Childhood Cancer Research Foundation.

Thumbs Up to our local teachers who go above and beyond, not only educating our children but also nurturing their growth, curiosity and resilience, laying the foundation for a brighter future. In particular, thanks to the teachers who helped organise Easter Hat Parades – I attended two and they were an absolute delight!

By LANA EATHER

Thumbs Up to the healthcare workers, from doctors to nurses to support staff, who worked while many of us enjoyed Easter holiday time with family and friends. It’s very important that none of us take their dedication for granted – you never know when we’ll need them.

Thumbs Up to the volunteers who help keep our parks and other public spaces clean, and who plant trees and other plants so that we can continue to enjoy these spaces well into the future.

Thumbs Up to the small business owners and their employees who opened their doors over Easter.

As a small business owner, I realise how tough the decision is whether to stay open or have my own time with family. Maybe governments could look at ways to encourage small businesses to open during these times – open doors are much more welcoming to visitors to our city than closed doors.

Thumbs Up to everyone involved in the recent Mud Run in Dubbo. I, for one, am aware that money raised goes to local charities who help on the day, and also to improving infrastructure around town that encourages more healthy activities. Well done!

THE Holland Open Garden and Memory Makers Art Prize event organisers Lorraine Holland, Laura Dunkley, Sue Egan and Lisa Johnson graciously donated to the Dementia Sing Out Choir and Dementia Australia recently.

Each year in October Lorraine and her daughter Laura coordinate a weekend of creative fundraising for much needed funds for dementia research as well as the potential to “break down the stigma and begin a conversation about dementia.”

The weekend showcases a number of events from open gardens, cocktails parties, guest speakers, the Dementia Sing Out Choir performances, art exhibitions and art prizes. Within a recent meeting with Dementia Austral-

ia’s Business Director Simon Crowson it was acknowledged that $65,000 has been raised through these activities to date. Lorraine and Laura express: “This is not possible without organisations like Dubbo Macquarie and Dubbo South Rotary Clubs, the Dubbo Garden Club and our amazing sponsors who each year support this event.”

Dubbo is a community that makes a difference. The Dementia Sing Out Choir team of Anne Gemmell, Camilla Ward and Sharon Simmons join with their enthusiastic choir on Tuesdays from 11am-12.30pm at the Old Lourdes Hospital site, and invite any interested parties to come along and enjoy some tunes. The choir is also preparing for their upcoming second concert on Sunday 14th April 14, at the Dubbo Regional Theatre & Convention Centre.

Handmade in the Bush pop-up craft shop funding a fine cause

By DAVID DIXON WE all love something lovingly made and home-crafted for that special Christmas gift; and it’s doubly satisfying to also know we’re supporting a good cause.

Dubbo’s bushcraft pop-up shop – which has now become a steadfast fixture in the Golden West’s pre-Christmas shopper’s calendar – is known for its beautifully crafted handmade goodies.

What many don’t fully realise is that the shop also supports our local accommodation provider for families who need to come to Dubbo for health services and hospital care.

“We run it from about September to Christmas Eve each year, in a shop that local real estate agents haven’t had rent on for some time, and they give it to us fairly cheap,” spokesperson Belinda Edmondson explained.

“People make the goods locally, we sell them, with a 20 per cent mark-up which goes towards our rent, electricity, with anything left over donated to Macquarie Home Stay,” she added.

The key, she explains, is the group of half a dozen or so ladies who run the shop during those three months, the people who make the goods, and the locals who support this fine work.

“These are a small, though strong, group of volunteers who give their time to manage and work the Handmade in the Bush Craft Shop and who present people’s home-made crafts for

sale to the public beautifully.

“The support the community have given in buying people’s home-made wares from the Handmade In the Bush Craft Shop, has meant a sizeable donation was able to be passed on to the Macquarie Home Stay,” Belinda added.

For the three years that the shop has run, the donation made at the start of the new year from last year’s event, has increased each time,

by Gary Kopervas

ARIES: Your boundless energy will drive you to solve a multitude of problems. You’ll be delighted to find that the worries that used to cause you stress are now a thing of the past. Your future is now brighter.

TAURUS: A minor health problem could draw attention. If you treat the situation seriously, you’ll get the care you need to recover quickly. Sometimes, all you must do is smile at life and it will smile back.

GEMINI: Expect to have lots of people around you this week. Your friends will suggest a variety of exciting activities, but some could upset you. Use your best judgment to choose the ones that interest you most.

CANCER: Responsibilities at work and home keep piling up. You must prioritise certain tasks and stop procrastinating to get things done. This will give you a sense of accomplishment.

LEO: You’ll discover a new form of spirituality beneficial to your mental and physical well-being. It could be a question of learning or sharing knowledge. This brilliant development will help you rediscover your zest for life.

VIRGO: Avoid repressing the emotions that are overwhelming you. Your family and friends will be there to support you in a difficult situation. Things will gradually become clearer, showing you the way to the solution to all your worries.

LIBRA: Relationships are simpler when you’re not emotionally involved. You could encounter tension with those closest to you. However, you and your friends and colleagues will understand each other perfectly. Take a step back if necessary.

SCORPIO: Important details will need your attention. A promotion could be on the horizon. However, you’ll need to negotiate your position with authority and define your responsibilities. People will be generous with you.

SAGITTARIUS: If you’re single, love could be knocking at the door. Perhaps in the form of a close friend declaring their feelings for you. An unexpected sum of money could come your way. At the very least, you could be offered some form of compensation.

CAPRICORN: Your plans to move will come to fruition. Despite your busy schedule, you’ll put your family first. Your devotion to those close to you will be obvious. One of your social media posts could garner a lot of attention.

AQUARIUS: You could be tempted to buy a new car. However, you must be sensible to avoid financial stress. Take a few days to think it over, and your desire for unnecessary luxury could fade.

PISCES: Affection will be paramount this week. Devote some time to constructive conversations to resolve tensions in your relationship and promote harmony and tenderness. Following a gut feeling could solve your emotional and financial problems.

Timmy Miller Memorial Speed Shear 2024

By ALICE MILLER The Timmy Miller Memorial Speed Shear 2024, now in its third consecutive year, paid homage to the legacy of the late Tim Miller, a passionate shearer who envisioned fostering community spirit and sharing his love for the shearing industry.

The event took place at The Ploughman’s Rest Tavern, Wongarbon, adding to the charm and ambience of the day’s festivities.

This year’s event drew 117 shearers from various corners of Australia (New South Wales, South Australia and Victoria) and worldwide (participants from France and New Zealand).

The competition featured four grades, showcasing a diverse range of talents from retired shearers to novices eager to learn the trade.

The highlight of the day was the remarkable display of shearing skills, with the fastest time clocking in at an impressive 24.69 seconds, demonstrating the exceptional speed and precision of the contestants.

Beyond the competitive aspect, the Timmy Miller Memorial Speed Shear also honoured Tim’s memory through a special award. Annette Lavey, Tim’s mother generously donated a new hand-piece to be awarded annually to a novice who exemplifies passion for the industry and a strong work ethic.

This year’s deserving recipient was Koby Rowe, recognised for her unwavering determination and willingness to assist others throughout the event.

In a heartwarming gesture, an auction was held to support Tim’s daughter, Zabella’s, future education. Mick Livingston of Forbes donated five ‘Barclay blood’ kelpie pups for auction, while Tim’s aunt, Judy Blore, contributed a certified crocodile leather belt, fetching an impressive $750.

The competition culminated in the finals, with the following results: Novice category: 1st Place: Apeang Jeff 1:07:17, 2nd Place: Andrew Carr 1:19:17, 3rd Place: Luke Jones 1:23:04, 4th Place: Jessie Learmonth 1:35:03 Intermediate category: 1st Place: Nigel Lucca 38:05, 2nd Place: Brianna Adamson 43:24, 3rd Place: Jack Simpson 44:09, 4th Place: John Kuepfer 47:48, 5th Place: Carol Mudford 1:01:00, 6th Place: April Falconer 1:05:11 Senior category: 1st Place: Jake McArdile 34:78, 2nd Place: Dushyant Edmonds 37:24, 3rd Place: Stephen Kock 39:91, 4th Place: Ben Miller 42:32 Open category: 1st Place: Rae Hokianga 24:69, 2nd Place: Shawn Barnett 36:12 Congratulations to all the winners in the various categories, the organisers, sponsors and volunteers who made the event possible. Their dedication and hard work truly reflect the spirit of camaraderie and respect for Tim’s legacy.

The Timmy Miller Memorial Speed Shear not only celebrates the skills of shearers but also serves as a reminder of the importance of community, support, and honouring those who have made significant contributions to the industry.

Ducks stayed Stellar year rounds off with Masterful results Dubbo dry over Easter

Contributed by DUBBO CYCLE CLUB

DUBBO Cycle Club has rounded-off another stellar track season with a top medal haul from the recent National Track Titles, reinforcing Dubbo’s strong cycling reputation.

Before the Masters events, riders first had a chance to get onto the Anna Mears Velodrome in Brisbane. Emily Hines hit the boards on the fly as our only Under 17 representative at the National Track Titles.

Emily Hines rode like the wind; posting a solid pursuit time and just missing-out of a ride-off for a medal in the specialised event.

In the Keirin event meanwhile, Emily rubbed shoulders with the opposition and, unfortunately, did not come through the repechage to contest the medals, but rode the event in a courageous fashion.

In the Teams Pursuit qualifying for NSW, Emily posted a time of 3:49.963 and took a sensational bronze medal at the National Titles. Emily received high-praise from her team-mates and coaches, as this particular race is a hotly-contested event and one that Emily trained very hard for, both in Dubbo and in special sessions in Sydney.

With a good showing in the 500-metre Time Trial, which is more reserved for the explosive riders, Emily held her own with a solid result.

With great rides in the Scratch Race and Team Sprint, it was the point-score that earned her much respect in the team in being the servitor to work tirelessly for the other riders during an intense attack, while taking a lap on the field. It is without reservation that the club congratulates Emily on her fantastic results at the National Track Titles and a sensational track season.

For the Masters, first on the track was Simone Grounds in the Master Four Division in the Time Trial event in which she recorded a time of 39.882, resulting in a fourth-place finish. Erica Lunney then took the track in the WMAS3 division, and recorded another sub-40-second time and a personal best with a time of 38.715 to take the Gold medal.

SOME would say they failed to wet their feathers; others that they simply turned the fluid to “internal” hydration!

Others opined that the Dubbo Ducks went egg-hunting, and found so many from the “waskally wabbits”, that they couldn’t guarantee buoyancy on the pond!

Nevertheless, most resorted to family time and relaxation to be fit for this Sunday’s return.

Ella tests the best in the middle distance events

Emily Williams then rolled onto the track and secured a Bronze in her own 500-metre Time Trial.

The amazing Darrell Wheeler in the Master’s 10 division then won Gold in the Individual Pursuit in a time of 3:16.352, easily beating his opposition.

Next-up was the Ladies in their respective Points Races with Simone and Erica taking a hardearned Bronze with Emily Williams a tremendous Silver.

One the second day of competition, Darrell Wheeler contested the 500-metre Time Trial and was rewarded with a Silver Medal in a very-respectable time of 40.837.

Tim Hines also contested the Master One event with his time over 750-metre seeing him finish fifth in a great show against tough competition. Next out were the ladies again, but this time, united as “G-Force” to contest the Team Sprint event.

In this race, each rider com-

pletes a lap with the final riders recording a time. Our ladies performed exceptionally to win the Bronze medal for the event.

Darrell Wheeler was then quickly out again to take another Gold, in the Point-score race this time.

On Day Three, Simone Grounds and Emily Williams contested the Individual Pursuit. Qualifying, Simone completed her 2000-metre in a 2:38.002 second-fastest showing to take-out the Silver medal in the end. Emily Williams also received a Silver in her individual Pursuit over 2000-metres in a time of 2:45.603.

In a tight schedule, the ladies then backed-up for the Keirin event with a Bronze medal for Simone and a Bronze also for Erica Lunney. Emily Williams, normally an endurance rider, then took a great Silver medal in her Keirin race.

Erica then headed back out on the boards, adding to her treasure

trove to take another Bronze medal in the Scratch Race. Not to be outdone, Darrell came-out in the Masters 10 Scratch Race, and won the Gold medal.

Day Four involved the sprints with Erica qualifying in third place and moving through the rounds to keep her place as third overall and bag the Bronze medal. Erica went out yet again on the velodrome to win a Bronze in the 10km Scratch race.

One the final day, the ladies put NSW in a silver medal winning spot for the Open women’s teams pursuit with the help of Anna Whitten from the Waratah Cycle Club, Laurelea Moss from Coffs Harbour, and Lee Johns from Paramatta.

Congratulations to the Masters riders for an extremely successful National Campaign and for their tremendous achievements over a number of events.

Ella in 2023.

IN MEMORIAM

By GEOFF MANN JACK Shanks didn’t quite reach his century of years, but the seemingly-ageless farmer and sportsman recently did enjoy his final moments, doing what he loved best, working on his family property.

During his 99-years, Jack touched numerous lives across the local and regional communities, from his days as a sheep breeder, farmer, charity worker, diligent neighbour, good citizen, and President of both the Dubbo Show Society and Harness Racing Club.

Jack is survived by his daughters, Nancy and Marilyn, and son, Robert, and their families. His wife of 62 years Fay died in 2011.

The “lovely gentle man” was farewelled by family and friends at St Andrew’s Chapel where he and Fay (Edwards) had exchanged vows on 9 July, 1949.

The pair had met at tennis and dances and, after their marriage and an eventful trip to the Gold Coast for their honeymoon, Jack and Fay made “Quamby”, near Coalbaggie their home.

Although it was Jack’s parents’ home, the elder couple had plans to build a cottage for themselves. Son Robert takes up the story.

“Dad assumed the responsibility of ‘Quamby’ – by then 2000 acres – while Frank purchased ‘Dalwood’; Dawn married Allen Tink from Roslyn at Cobbocco “This was Mum’s first real home, as she had spent 16 years at Dad’s mother’s.

“They were to share 40 years together in their own home, before Mum fell ill.

“During those four decades, children, grand-children and great grand-children, along with Daryl and Tony were spoiled, praised, advised, taught lessons and most loved by both Mum and Dad,” Robert reflected fondly.

Robert told those gathered at his farewell to celebrate a life fully-lived, saying that his father: “seldom openly-showed his love to his immediate family, but he shared his pride in our achievements to others”.

Jack and Fay continued to live at ‘Quamby’, after their three children moved on with their lives.

“Dad continued running their business well into his eighties, with the help of his family and, when Mum entered care in 2005, he traveled into Orana Gardens on a regular basis to be with her.

“After she died in 2011, he stayed at ‘Quamby’ for the next 12 years on his own.”

Robert spoke of his father’s early childhood: “playing with his siblings and neighbouring kids and doing chores like gardening, feeding chooks, pigs and turkeys… being on a farm, they all rode horses and made their own amusement by inventing games.”

During pre-school times more than 95 years ago, and with the two world wars and the Depression occurring around them, the Shanks family, like many others, made their own soap, butter, bread, salted the meat, and grew all their own vegetables and fruit.

Robert told the gathering at St Andrews of his father’s lifelong learning, forged in tough times.

“Dad learnt not to be wasteful, greedy, or lazy, as everyone had their jobs to do, as families of that period, had to be self-sufficient.

“About once a fortnight, they went by horse-and-buggy to town for groceries that consisted of vinegar, 30kg bags of flour, sugar, and salt.

“It was a two-hour trip each way, and they picked-up potatoes as these were the only vegetable Dad recalled they didn’t grow.”

In an interesting aside, Robert said: “the horse-and-sulky were tied-up at the horse trough in the centre of Talbragar Street in front of the Pastoral Hotel and Goss’s Bakery.

“The Newell Highway was a gravel road, as was Talbragar Street!” he said Schooling started for Jack when he was five, riding horses with his brother Frank through paddocks to the building on the Collie Road.

The school had one teacher, seven classes and 15–20 kids. When Dawn started two years later, they took the buggy to school.

The horses were left at Fox’s property, Dalwood, and they would walk the last 300 yards (metres) to school.

After primary school, Jack boarded in Fitzroy Street with the Phillips family. He walked to Dubbo High School and home for

JACK SHANKS Farmer, trotting, Show Society pioneer, leaves a lasting legacy lunch each day, and was paid two shillings (20 cents) a week to mow the lawns and milk a cow for Mrs Phillips. Jack was used to milking, as he had hand-milked the cows on the dairy farm at home.

The ageing gentleman, Jack, had an incredible memory and, in recent years, he could recall the names of the families and businesses he walked past in those three years he was at Dubbo High.

Robert and the family also recall their family’s beloved patriarch’s amazing talents, honed as much at home, as school.

“He didn’t claim to be a great scholar, but he reckoned he was pretty good at math’s, and his handwriting was immaculate.

“Just recently, when being interviewed by an historian, he was asked what he learnt at school. He launched into the ‘12 inch to the foot, three-feet to the yard, five-and-a-half yards to the perch, four perch to one chain, 22 yards to one chain, 10 chains to a furlong, eight furlongs to a mile, 1760 yards to the mile, 5280 feet to the mile, 63,360 inches to the mile,’ and he would have kept going, but the interviewer burst-out laughing, and said ‘point made. Jack’!”

Jack was back on the farm after his boarding days in town. From 14, he lived in his paradise. He worked horse teams from the age of 11 and, along with Frank and his father and uncle, grew 1200 acres of wheat without any mechanisation in the Depression years.

“During that season, when neighbours helped each other, the Furlong brothers, Snowy and Knobby, helped with the harvest and, Dad said, they had four by eight feetwide horse-drawn headers following each other stripping wheat.

“He often said: ‘what would you give to have a photo of that’, with thousands of bags of wheat in the paddock. But photos were rare in those days,” Robert said.

Cutting chaff, making hay for the draught horses, dairy, pigs, sheep, cattle and clearing land made Jack a fit man, his body honed by a demanding workload and long hours.

“Dad said, you could talk to horses when you were working, and they were great company, but you only ever talked to a tractor when it didn’t bloody start,” Robert told the congregation.

Growing-up wasn’t all work. Jack and his family played tennis, cricket, gymkhanas, and danced with their neighbours. Most families attended country churches on a regular basis, and friendships from those early times, exist three generations later.

Jack’s Dad passed-away three months af-

ter he and Fay moved home, at “Blackbrae”, at Murnda, the original Shanks Property outside Melbourne.

By the early 1950s, horses had given way to tractors and electricity was connected, so farming became much-less labour-intensive.

“Dad said, hydraulics were the most-significant advantage in his farming lifetime, as they replaced a lot of back-breaking lifting,” Robert recalled.

Jack replaced Corriedale sheep with firstcross ewes and Dorset Rams and commenced 70 years of fat lamb breeding.

“This resulted in friendly rivalry for bragging rights with the Wests, Whillocks, Dixons, Morris’s, Kelly’s, Greenwoods, Hollows, et cetera. for the highest-priced prime lambs at the Dubbo Saleyard.

“The Agents’ Associations, held a minute’s silence in recognition of his support of the saleyards for over 70 years.”

Rob told the congregation, that their father, despite being very busy farming, took a great interest in his children’s schooling.

“He involved himself in the small school sports carnivals, attended P&C meetings, helped get the Coalbaggie Hall ready for bonfire nights and end-of-year presentation days, as well as some memorable Christmas tree nights.”

During the 1950’s, Jack played cricket with Coalbaggie in the Dawson Cup in Dubbo with his mates, mostly farmers, and Sundays were spent sharing picnics in the park with the Warrens, McCullaghs, and Cox’s.

Jack also became involved in the Show Society and, in the 1950s he, along with his brother, Frank and several others, supplied the machinery to plow and plant turf on the Showground arena and surrounds which were previously just Cat-head and Khaki weeds.

“Dad’s long involvement with the Show Society, and later-on, the Trotting Club, were rewarded with life membership of both organisations.

“This was special for Dad, as he said, to be recognised by fellow committee members, was the greatest tribute”.

Jack served as President of the Dubbo Show Society for five years, and then devoted 10 years as President of the Western Group of Shows.

He also gave countless hours to the Trotting Club. While these activities were a major part of his life, the main social activities revolved around dances and balls with Fay during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

Robert shared the following about his father’s remarkable financial skills.

One of Jack’s favourite horses Fay’s Delight, first past the post in March last year.

“He was what, some could say, ‘careful’ with money, as a result of growing-up during the Depression.

“When I was 10-years-old, I watched as he argued with a shearing contractor over a bill at the end of the run.

“The bill was for 114 pounds, 13 shillings, and sixpence – about $230 and five cents in today’s money. There was no dispute over the pounds or shilling, the blue was over the sixpence!

“Dad refused to pay the sixpence and, as the cranky shearer was about to drive-away after giving Dad some suggestions as to what he could do with his shed, Dad told him not to forget the two lambs or killers in the back pen which were worth about five pounds ($10).

“The same shearer continued to shear there for another 20 years!”

Jack was known for his generosity, supporting a lot of charities over the past 20 years. These included children’s cancer, children’s health in general, Alzheimer’s and Dementia support.

In the mid 1970s. the Boardman family from Canowndra bought a property adjoining Jack and Fay’s, Robert says it was a fortuitous purchase.

“Mum was a great horse-lover and, with the aid of a neighbour, Tom Watts, convinced Dad to buy three horses from Mr Boardman.

“They nearly didn’t stay, as one of them reached over the sheep-yard fence and killed three lambs the first week”!

Thankfully, they held-on, because ‘Lady Bangaroo’ bred four foals for the Shanks family. Three of them matured into very good race-horses. “’Quamby’s Pride’ allowed Mum and Dad to travel to Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, and everywhere in between.

“They loved following their horses, which brought both joy and relaxation.”

Quamby’s Pride famously won the 1980 Queensland Pacing Derby at Albion Park.

After breaking on the first turn, the gutsy stayer outlasted the great ‘Gamalite’ and stamped itself a champion. Interestingly, The Quamby’s Pride Pace, is one of the feature races at the annual Carnival of Cups in Dubbo.

Another of Jack’s favourite horses, was ‘Fay’s Delight’.

At the end of the service for his Dad, Jack, Robert had everyone wiping their eyes as he spoke of his father’s subtle sense of humour.

“When he was 93, Dad had fallen in the kitchen and, prior to the operation to replace his hip, he was asked if he wanted to be revived if things don’t go according to plan.

“He quickly responded saying, he had a cupboard full of Christmas presents he was planning to hand-out. The doctor smiled – ‘I’ll take that as a yes’! he said.

“Dad was home with his new hip six weeks after his surgery.

“At 96, he was still active enough to help with mustering, lamb marking, and to drive a truck during hay carting.

He remarked that, although we had put a thousand tonnes of hay into the sheds that day, the only thing that got hot was the hydraulic oil. It was a vast change to the early days of pitchforks, drays, and sheaf hay.”

Jack continued in his advisory role and spent many hours cutting burrs and taking a great interest in what was going on around the farm. He tended the orange trees, kept his lawns mowed, and did plenty of walking and burr-cutting.

“Four days before Dad passed away, Marilyn took him to the trots to watch his horse ‘Eastagrin’ win, and he had a smile to remember.

“His last week, consisted of winning the trivia at the village, viewing photos of his great grand-son Jake and Ash’s wedding, and watching his horse win at the trots.

“On his last day with us, he drove with me out to the farm, mowed his lawn, ate his favourite lunch of stewed fruit and custard, all the while talking of old times, about the horse teams while having a coffee in his mug.

“Around 1.30 Jack went to his room for a rest.

“A short time later, he called for me then, left us peacefully.”

Jack had fulfilled his wish to pass in his own home.

By GEOFF MANN HOCKEY Masters revived the iconic Sydney 2000 catch cry to celebrate the Olympic year ahead.

“Wouldabeen Kookaburras and Hockeyroos” went all out in their quest to bring festive spirit to the Masters from the Bush Tournament held at Pioneer Park recently.

All are buzzing with the recent arrival of boards for the Hockey 5s that is already underway. Living legend Brent Livermore will be in Dubbo later this year with a few of his Australian teammates to demonstrate the speed and slick skills involved.

 Round 1, Lost to Soldiers Point,  Round 2, Defeated Forster,  Round 3, Defeated Penrith.

Our ladies were on two wins, however the winners, Soldiers Point, recorded three wins. Our Ladies finished second in their pool.

Dubbo City had bowlers in seven events with two making it through to the Semi-Finals and two running a close second in their pool games.

Our Club is very proud of our bowlers’ achievements, with a big “thank-you” to all our volunteers who assisted in making the State Playoffs 2024 a great success at North Dubbo RSL Sporties. Well done, Dubbo City!

For the Friday, March 22

Social roll-up, the results were:  Winners: Peter Myers, John Cole, and Greg Brown – defeating Dick Whitford, Julie Brown, and Col Cottee  Runner-Up: Rob Pfieffer, Trevor, Tink and Ian Hobson defeating Vicki Hummel, Dennis Crimmins, and Tod O’Dea  In third place, Frank Seibert and Brian Jones – defeated Petar McKechnie and Neil Hayburn. The Rester was Trevor Tink, and the Jackpot of $210, was not won.  Sponsor of the Week: Geoff Richards Panel Beating – Dubbo. Allimages of Dubbo City’s entrants in the 2024 Bowls State Play-offs, have been contributed.

EASTER Sundy saw a total of 31 bowlers, including ‘Peter, Paul, and Mary’, reuniting as a team!

Pete Ruzans, Paul Goodstat, and Mary Perry, took-on Sue O’Dea, Allan Stratford, and Col Cottee, and flew-off the mat to lead five-zip. They were soon swallowed-up, and trailed by 9-seven after eight ends.

Pete and his side, like “Puff the Magic Dragon”, crept back into the lead on end 11, but Sue’s secured three ends in a row, adding six shots, and a double on the final end, claimed the choccies. Their 18-12 win, was good enough to be awarded third place.

A newbie, Mark Morton was the lead for Pete Bennison and Trevor Tink, who struggled through half because Leo Balstad, Gary Huggins, and Pete Sinclair were on fire, scoring 13 shots from the four ends they won.

Then the doldrums set-in.

Trev’s team found something, and added seven shots before Leo, Gary, and Pete, had troubled the scorecard. Excitement grew at 14-all on the second last-end, but it was Leo, Gary, and Pete who seized the day, 15-14 in an intriguing game.

Vicki Hummel was given the job as swinger, a position at which she is quite adept and certainly keenly-sought.

She shared her skills with Ross Pharo and Tod O’Dea, as well as Gordon Scott and Bryan O’Sullivan. It was 9-3 to “G and B: at the turnaround,

before Ross and Tod found the mark, rolling a couple of triples to lock it up 10-all after 11 ends. Gordon and Bryan fought hard, socially of course, but they could only add four and went down 16-13.

Helene Emblen and John Cole played Ray Strawhan and Al Andriske in pairs. The latter led 7-0; “H & J” then pulled back four; four before Helene and John registered their first score, a nice four. They were two-off the pace after eight then, as often happens, the second half was completely different – Ray and Al added eight shots to Helen and John’s three, for a 17-11 win.

A very competent team of Eric Satchell and Graham Ross felt confident when they took-on Chris Strojny and Brian Jones. They opened with a triple, but found Chris and Brian were just as determined, taking a three-shot lead after five. Then Eric and Graham lifted and were three-up after eight and went right-away to win 20-11 and claim second for the day.

Paul Martin, Ruby Stockings, and Mike Twohill, also fought it out with John Zeb, Rob Pfeiffer, and Alex Rae challenging each other. A magical first eight by Paul, Ruby, and Mike, had them zooming ahead by as many, thanks to a five on the second end, plus a couple of triples, which saw them race to a 2010 victory and first prize for the day.

Karen puts on a real exhibition

SPORT

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNELL KAREN Murphy has won tournaments all around the world, and taken numerous gold medals at Commonwealth, Oceania, and World Games.

So, when she stepped onto the greens at Club Dubbo last week, the viewing perimeter was full!

Spectators watched in awe as the No. 1 rated player, guided her team to a sensational win in the NSW Fours.

The classy skip led her Cabramatta side to a commanding lead 36-4 shot win against Taren Point. Many times, she was able to seize the end after her three colleagues Jamie-Lee Worsnop, Ellen Fife, and Jessie Cottell.

Following her amazing four titles the previous week, Photo News claimed Dawn Hayman as “Our Dawnie”, this week, we might crown Karen Murphy as “Our Kaz”!

incredibly affirming.

As this was “Year One” in a three-year contract to hold the event featuring 900 bowlers here – the next will be 2026, and the final in 2028 – it was important to set a standard and, set it, we have!

NSW Bowls officials, local clubs, and the Dubbo Regional Council, have set a high-mark.

Congratulations to all the bowlers, volunteers, grounds-keepers, and sports-lovers. We cannot wait for the next major tournament, the International Fours, later this year.

MEN’S FOURS: Raymond Terrace - Tim Twinning, Jamie Minter, Matthew Baus and Lee Schraner.

WOMEN’S SENIOR FOURS: Jan Keller, Kaye Alderton, Maggie Murphy and Billie Maas.

RESERVE FOURS: Lane Cove - Chris Sinclair, John Burke, Scott Bonthrone and John Lloyd

MEN’S SENIOR FOURS: Towradgi - Rodney Busst, Brian Suckley, David Wakeling and Robbie Warren
