Dear Santa
Yes Sir, we’ve been naughty – it’s been a year of office prank ing – but we’ve also been very, very nice to our readers and advertisers. It’s a privi lege to share our region’s personal stories which are constant reminders we live in a strong, incredible community. You might have seen us on the Lapla nd News? When Harr y and Meghan came to town? We went globa l! So, your elves must be flat chat, but if there’s the teeniest chance they could squeeze this gift into the production line... we’d like a safe festive season for our loyal readers (thank you!) and advertisers (without whom there wouldn’t have been a Dubbo Photo News each week for the past 13-plus years! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!). Also, with respect Santa , Christmas can sometimes be a downer so if any of our extended family are alone or having mixed feelings at this time, please help them remember each day brings new opportunities, and a new year is the perfect time for a fresh start. If feeling positive is just too difficult though, please give them this number to call, for a truly compassionate listening ear at Lifeli ne 131 114, or the website for headspace www. eheadspace.org.au.

Bringing top skills back home LEXI MAWBEY is living proof that upgrading skills is a way to create a successful business in Dubbo. The passionate hairdresser spent years in Australia’s trend-setting capital of Melbourne learning the intricacies of the trade before moving back to Dubbo to be closer to family. And leaving Melbourne hasn’t seen her cut off from the industry’s latest trends, which seem to change on an almost daily basis. Customer Jackie Tildesley is one who’s glad that Ms Mawbey chose to bring her skills back home. “It’s great that someone like Lexi has enough confidence to move back to Dubbo and set up here,” Mrs Tildesley said.

Cool off but be safe around rivers and dams: police
POLICE jetskis aren’t a common sight on the mighty Macquarie but they were out in force this week as NSW Police put on a show to remind the public to be safe on the water during the holidays. Western Region Commander Geoff McKechnie said the message leading into Christmas was simple: “People need to understand the same rules apply to rivers and dams as apply to our roads. You can’t drink and drive a boat, it’s just unsafe to be intoxicated or even partly affected by alcohol around water,” he said.

December 20-26, 2018 Dubbo Photo News those words.
DUBBO CITY LIFE
News reporting versus opinion I LIKE to remind readers from time to time, there is a difference between reporting the news and expressing an opinion on it. Most of what you read in this newspaper is the result of our journalists and writers researching the story and then reporting on it. Another popular aspect of Dubbo Photo News is the opinion columns, where the columnist expresses their opinion on a topic based on their research and understanding of that topic. Opinion and News Analysis in this paper is clearly marked as such. The writer’s name (and often a photo of them too) is at the top of the column. We do this because we don’t want you to think that an opinion column is a news report, or vice versa.
Comment by TIM PANKHURST MANAGING EDITOR
Reporting honestly in an age of info-overload
THE novelty of social media and online news sites wore off ages ago. Two key public moods have slowly but surely emerged over the past year or two – firstly, that Facebook and Google are creepy in the way they track your every online move, and secondly, that mainstream media such as newspapers and television news are the most trusted sources of news. People have learned – often the hard way – that you can’t believe what you read online. You can not trust it. You can, on the whole, trust the words of a trained and experienced journalist whose job it is to report the truth, and whose reputation is reliant on them doing their job properly. We’re not absolutely perfect, but it’s in our own best interest to be as close as possible to perfection because – in a world of information overload – we know that you rely on us. You want and need someone to turn to when you need the truth and the facts, and that’s what we aim to deliver. If a newspaper gets something wrong, they aim to correct it as quickly as possible. If you read the Sydney Morning Herald on a regular basis, you’ll notice they place any corrections and clarifications on page 2, and they publish those the next day wherever possible. Newspapers also offer the right of reply through their letters pages. If you don’t agree with something in a newspaper, you can write or email to that paper and, provided it’s within the constraints of the law, the newspaper will generally publish your comment.
Looks what’s back: It’s been a big week in medical news locally, with last Friday’s funding announcement at the School of Rural Health that will see a new Rural Medical School Program developed in Dubbo. Within the next few years, rural students should be able to complete their medical studies in rural areas. See the full story inside today’s paper. On a lighter note, that big crane is back and dominating the skyline at the Dubbo Base Hospital construction site, pictured.
In this newspaper’s case, we give preference to writers who provide their name to go with their comment. Our own journalists and writers put their names to what they write, and so it’s fair that a respondent should do the same. And that’s another point of difference between a newspaper you can trust and Facebook which you can’t. Online keyboard cowards are able to say pretty much whatever they like, often hiding behind a fake identity, and Facebook protects them. Facebook is most at fault, but as I’ve said here before, the various Australian governments are complicit because of their limp efforts to police the online world, where all sorts of atrocities are allowed to propagate and the victims go unprotected.
I’m prompted to write this column in the midst of another week in the slow but sure decline in the reputation of the American presidency. Trump has often used the “fake news� slur in an attempt to devalue reputable media. But it’s little more than a mud-slinging exercise against news organisations that report what he doesn’t want reported, and he rarely if ever backs up those two words with any solid evidence that the news outlet got the story wrong. And if they did get it wrong, reputable news outlets such as newspapers are obliged to correct the record. Here’s one thing Trump has achieved: when you hear the words “fake news� you’re probably wise to seriously question the motivations of the person uttering
Get your Photo News each Thursday during the holidays THE great news is we’re not taking a break from bringing you your weekly Dubbo Photo News. Our office will be closed from tomorrow afternoon (Friday, December 21) for two weeks, but our holiday edition team will continue to bring you the news each week.

Dubbo in war on straws
Dr Emma Webster Senior Lecturer in Rural Research at Dubbo’s School off Rural Health My family GP was once my student. She has been our family GP for a number ooff years now. She moved to Dubbo to attend d the School of Rural Health. It’s somethingg that I always have in mind, that the students I’m teaching every year could well bee the doctors that treat my family and certainly our community in the future. I’m a doctor of public health which is different to a doctor of medicine. A doctorr of public health looks at things across a community, for example why does this community have these health problems, why is that different to this other commu-nity, how might that have happened and what can be done to prevent it? It really comes from perspective of social justice. It’s unfair that communities have dif-ferent standards of health, and there is no good reason that we shouldn’t all have good health. Some of those things are related to environment and social structure. We look at changing those things gs and treating a community rather than justt treating an individual. On White Ribbon Day, statistics were presented to show that, in this part of thee state, rates of domestic violence are much h higher than other parts of the state. It could be about reporting, and that’s a posssibility, so maybe it’s recorded better heree and not so much in other parts of the state. te.. Women anywhere should be safe, butt (those statistics) give us clues as to what might be behind social and health problems. When you have those differentials that exist across different communities, then you can study that using research methods. That’s the sort of thing that I do, the research side of things, to figure out how we study and understand those problems better, and how do we assess that something we are doing with intervention is actually making changes to those sort of things. I think I always had a strong sense of social justice. My undergraduate degree was in exercise physiology and I thought I wanted to work with elite sports people, so when I was finishing my honours year I was working with elite athletes. It was great fun. I was working with extremely driven and high performing people. They wanted to go to the Olympics, not just show up in a team, they wanted to win medals. These people were very privileged and my own background is not one of that level of privilege. I was the only person in my family at that time who had been to university. I felt that I wanted to invest in society rather than just in sport. By the time I finished my honours year I wanted to apply that knowledge differently, in a way that benefited more people who didn’t

have a voice, rather than a very small group of society. I was always very interested in sport. I play a number of sports: swimming, gymnastics, netball, touch football and other sports as well. I competed at state level in three of those different sports so, yes, I was sporty, but I’m not really an athlete. I have large extended family here in Dubbo, that’s what will keep me here, but I also did not want to move back to the city to do any further study. The reason I did my doctoral study was that I was sick of hearing myself whinge saying “we haven’t got that person”. I just knew that this level of problem-solving was possible and within my grasp. I didn’t think it would take me anywhere because I wasn’t going to leave Dubbo, but as it turned out this job came up years later. What is “Yarning Work”? We did some research a couple of years ago about Aboriginal people’s experiences with treatment for diabetes and how the model of care that we offer actually helped Aboriginal people. One of the things that we uncovered was that the communication

THE ABC television series “War on Waste” prompted management and staff at the Cactus Café Wellington to make the switch from plastic to paper straws. The War on Waste demonstrated how many straws are ending up in oceans and waterways, wreaking havoc on wildlife and entering the food chain in their millions. The café jumped on board and replaced their plastic straws with brown paper straws. “We had a bit of trouble getting them in the beginning. We could buy the small packets, but eventually we found packets of 100 or so,” said Cactus Café’s Tony Mitchell. “Ninety-nine per cent of people have said they like the paper straws but we have had one or two people complain. One person said the paper straw heated up their drink too much, so we’ve taken that on board,” he said. Making the switch isn’t without its hiccups it seems, but paper straws and alternate products are in demand. “There’s definitely an increased demand nationwide,” a spokesperson at supplier Reward Hospitality Dubbo said. “Our suppliers are telling us they can’t keep up.” Compostable and biodegradable cups, sugarcane, wooden and bamboo plates and cutlery, recycled paper serviettes, and paper straws used to only be ordered on demand compared to today, when large quantities of these plastic alternative items are kept in permanent stock to
could really be improved between clinicians – not just doctors but all clinicians – and Aboriginal people. We really needed to try and work on that. We do the research, then look at how you change things, then test the solution. We are at the stage of developing the solution in conjunction with the community and the Aboriginal community, not just in Dubbo but in Lismore and Sydney as well. Surveying is one method that you would use in research, but we also use other ways of collecting data like focus groups, and yarning circles. You can use techniques that are around photographing things or drawing things and analysing them. This is really good for groups where literacy is not as developed. You can involve children or people with disabilities or people where English is not their first language very readily by getting them to take a photo that is very important to them, with a certain thing in mind, and then they explain it to you. That photo or drawing actually becomes part of the data that you analyse. - Interview & photo by Wendy Merrick

meet demand. Small businesses have the flexibility to make the switch quickly but for larger corporate restaurant chains like McDonalds the transition is part of a long-term plan. In July 2018 McDonalds Australia announced its commitment to phase out existing plastic straws from its 970 restaurants, including Dubbo’s two, by 2020. “We know plastic straws is a topic our customers are passionate about and we will find a viable solution,” McDonalds Australia supply chain director Robert Sexton said at that time. “We have the responsibility and opportunity to make significant change,” he said. McDonalds also has a goal for 100 per cent ‘guest’ packaging to be from renewable, recycled, or certified sources by 2025 and to have recycling in all restaurants globally.
Did you know? McDonalds Australia has been reducing its waste and has saved the following quantities of material: z 2011 Plastic lids removed from McFlurry cups, removing 48 tonnes of plastic z 2013 Replaced plastic salad bowls with a fibre alternative, removing 127 tonnes of plastic z 2015 Sundae cups light weighting, removing 72 tonnes of plastic z 2016 Introduction of recycled fibre for all take-away bags, replacing the use of 1300 metric tonnes of virgin fibre with recycled fibre z 2016 Changed McCafe coffee cup design, reducing 328 tonnes of fibre z 2019 Targeting 100 per cent of fibre-based guest packaging that will be sourced from recycled, renewable or certified sources

Campaign for cancer-free community
Private Native Forestry Review terms of reference
By NATALIE HOLMES COMMUNITY spirit and her own personal experience are the driving forces behind Cancer Council advocate Susie Hill’s involvement in the Saving Life 2019 campaign. “I lost a fiancé to lung cancer and he had never smoked a day in his life,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “It was three and a half months from diagnosis to death.” That was 12 years ago, but the memory and the relevance remain intact. Ms Hill explained that a major factor for many non-smokers is being exposed to second-hand smoke, especially in their workplace. “(Fiance) Jeff worked in a South Korean engineering firm where the office was a cloud of smoke. “That experience makes me so passionate about this cause – that people are getting cancer through no fault of their own.” Those whose workplaces are not smoke-free are the most at-risk, but they are also the most likely not to make a complaint. “It’s hard to get people to talk because it’s their livelihood,” Ms Hill explained. That’s where the Saving
Life 2019 campaign comes in as the Cancer Council’s list of NSW Election priorities for the next State Government. The four priorities are to: z Strengthen the SmokeFree Environment Act 2000 to ensure that people working or socialising in bars are protected from second-hand smoke z Amend the Public Health (Tobacco) Act 2008 to ban tobacco vending machines and introduce an annual licence fee to cigarette retailers z Remove junk food advertising from state-owned property z Provide funding for public lymphoedema services “The government needs to tighten up the legislation, look at removing smoking areas and make sure that they are as safe as they can be to stop people breathing it in. “Now my job is that each of the (election) candidates knows about it.” To add their voice to the campaign, the community can pick up a Saving Life 2019 postage paid postcard by contacting Susie on 0427 660 213 or the virtual version online at www.canact.com.au/ savinglife2019_takeaction/
RESIDENTS in the Dubbo region are encouraged to have their say about the way private native forests (PNF) are managed. The NSW Government is seeking feedback on the PNF codes of practice, rules and regulations, authorisation process, training and advice services. The PNF Review seeks to balance the sustainable development of the private native timber and agricultural industries while recognising the environmental values of the private forest estate.

Fun flight takes off for kids By NATALIE HOLMES FOR one special day each year, underprivileged kids get to fly high as part of a unique event in the local district. Hosted by the Dubbo Aero Club, Fun Flight is the brainchild of Michel Verheem who describes it as a “not-for-profit volunteer organisation offering affected young people and their families a day of aeronautical entertainment”. “Fun Flight is a great story,” local pilot Dale Robertson told Dubbo Photo News. “It is one of those charities that exists purely to serve others who can do with a brighter day. Children who are facing serious illness or adversity get the chance to break away from those challenges and have a day of unrivalled enjoyment and inspiration, all delivered by volunteers.” Mr Robertson is a member of Dubbo Aero Club where the event was held on October 28. “I’ve been involved with the club for two years. This was Dubbo Aero Club’s third year.” Joined by their parents and carers, participants went on a joy flight followed by lunch at the club. “Fun Flight is a national event on one day a year. “Participants are usually nominated by an organisation to attend,” Mr Robertson

explained. “We like to go for a spin. Sometimes they are a bit anxious, but as soon as they get in the plane and you give them the headset and you get off the ground, you can just see the excitement.” There were four pilots who each did multiple flights at the Dubbo event. They were assisted by three other helpers

on the day. “We did all the flights for the club,” Mr Robertson said. “It was very rewarding, it was 100 per cent feel-good. You could see the emotions on their faces.” Altogether, Fun Flight had 40 participants and 14 flights. “The Dubbo Aero Club are very thankful that we get this opportunity every year
to show local disadvantaged members of our community an experience they can look back on and smile.” Other clubs to host the annual event included Geelong, Central Coast, Newcastle and Bankstown. Members of the Dubbo Aero Club are also planning to raise its profile by holding an open day.

COMMUNITY SHOPPING
Car boots open at Men’s Shed sale By JOHN RYAN BOOTS were opened and goods were flying out the gate at the South Dubbo Veterans and Community Shed Christmas car boot sale last weekend. Shed stalwart Eric Chamberlain said, “The crew stage these events two or three times a year and we usually get good revenue out of it, as well as other benefits. “It’s a way of getting people in to have a look, and when they’re here we invite them in to have a look at our projects and what we do have here,” Mr Chamberlain told Dubbo Photo News. Jackie Gravitis is a regular – she said she wouldn’t miss one of the Men Shed’s sales. “There’s a variety of stalls so you never know what little treasure you’ll get and everyone’s lovely,” Mrs Gravitis said. “It’s a secure area so you can bring the kids along and you don’t have to worry about them because they’re inside the fence.” Maureen Kelly sets up a regular stall and said the location is peaceful and the facility is amazing. “Everyone’s friendly and it’s a good secure area. We know a lot of the people that come so it’s really nice and the blokes at the men’s shed are very good to us,” Mrs Kelly said. “More people need to know the shed is here and that they have these regular car boot sales. Our customers like the variety, there’s
Drought agreement not enough: NSW Farmers THE NSW Farmers’ Association has welcomed a decision by COAG (Council of Australian Governments) to sign a new Inter-Governmental Agreement on Drought but says it doesn’t go far enough. “It is pleasing to see the inclusion of evaluation in the Agreement. Too often issues of drought impact rely on anecdote and emotion,” NSW Farmers president James Jackson said. “NSW Farmers calls on all levels of government to ensure there is public reporting of the benefits and value of the initiatives for the farming sector, and critically analysing and reporting changes from an agreed benchmark of base-line data.”

a lot of variety here, and they like having a bit of a chat.” Shed member Chris Ryan agreed the car boot sales are a great way of promoting the work the South Shed does in the community. “This is a good promotional
event for the shed. It lets people get an idea of what we’re doing and what’s going on, plus we have a good time doing it. We’ve had a really good morning socialising and having a sausage sizzle,” Mr Ryan said. “I’ve been busy showing people
through the shed and some blokes had no idea this was here or what it’s about. It’s such a relaxed, laidback place. We really have a good time here. “It’s only $5 a year to join and guaranteed you’ll have a good time,” he said.
THE Fan’s Horizon track has officially reopened following the replacement of around 1000 timber steps. The devastating 203 Wambelong fires caused widespread damage and closed the popular walking trail. “The completion of Fan’s Horizon walking track is pretty much the last piece in putting Warrumbungle National Park back together after the devastation of the fire,” National Parks and Wildlife Service area manager John Whittall said. “The finalisation of track works comes after the recent reopening of our magnificent Visitor Centre and years of major works to rebuild the park and learn more about fire behaviour.”

Lexi brings latest world trends back to Dubbo By JOHN RYAN LEXI MAWBEY is living proof that upgrading skills is a way to create a successful business in Dubbo. The passionate hairdresser spent years in Australia’s trend-setting capital of Melbourne learning the intricacies of the trade before moving back to Dubbo to be closer to family. And leaving Melbourne hasn’t seen her cut off from the industry’s latest trends, which seem to change on an almost daily basis. She keeps up to date not only by attending at least three courses each year, but also by the digital connectivity Dubbo enjoys. “I think it’s really important, I train at least three times a year out of town,” Ms Mawbey said. “I also follow a lot of people on YouTube and Instagram, it’s really big for the hair industry. “You’ve got to follow what’s happening in the market and what’s trending everywhere in the world because even teenagers here in Dubbo, they’ll come in and they’ve YouTubed something themselves and they’ll come in with that video and be like, ‘I want this braid in my
hair,’ and I’ll think, ‘Oh thank God I watched that last week.’ You have to upskill all the time, that’s very important. “Because of the connectivity of the internet, I can keep up with all these latest trends while living in Dubbo – it’s my window to the world beyond, totally,” she told Dubbo Photo News. She said setting up shop in Blueridge has been a blessing, with the new business park home to a newer generation of innovative entrepreneurs. “Blueridge is a really good place for people who are trying to do different things because everyone in this area is in new businesses, so everyone’s really supportive and forward-thinking. There’s a lot of innovation going on so it’s a very supportive place being surrounded by like-minded people,” Ms Mawbey said. “People come in and say ‘oh wow, this area’s really taking off.’ It’s getting so big out this way and they’re surprised by the feeling out here and it gives me confidence, I’m looking forward to seeing how it’s going to grow. “I think it’s really important for young people to go away
for training in many industries. You get exposed to so many different things and then they can come back and bring those new skills and expertise to people in Dubbo, and you can also pass those skills on to others coming up through the ranks,” she said. Ms Mawbey’s business, Little Grey Hare, specialises in new technologies and products which don’t test on animals, and don’t contain sulphates and silicones. She’s finding a new breed of clientele who want natural hair styling without the prevalence of ammonia. “People are getting more interested about what is in everything they use and eat, it’s becoming really important for people, from their diets to what goes into their hair, exercise and fitness, it’s just the way that the future is going,” Ms Mawbey said. “They used to just come and sit and not know what went into their hair and never questioned it. Now they’ll ask you, ‘What’s in that?’ And ‘Oh, I’m allergic to this.’ There’s just far more awareness because there’s awareness everywhere. “I get people calling up all the time telling me they used to have to go to Sydney to get this
done, now they can just come here which is good,” she said. Jackie Tildesley is glad Little Grey Hare has come to town and says such businesses are vital if Dubbo doesn’t want to be left behind. “Dubbo is becoming a large city, and you expect to have high quality in everything when it comes to services, so it’s great that someone like Lexi has enough confidence to move back to Dubbo and set up here. You could put her into any salon in the city and she’s as good as anyone,” Mrs Tildesley said. “It’s 100 per cent important that young people can learn skills,” she said, adding that if they need to go away to learn those skills then it’s very important the’re encouraged to return set up their business or career here in Dubbo. “That’s how you build your regional centres, isn’t it,” Mrs Tildesley said. Ms Mawbey’s career to date has seen her rubbing shoulders with recognised industry leaders. She knows celebrity hairdresser Joh Bailey through their shared love of horses and has been to his salons. “This salon is equal to anything in Sydney,” Mrs Tildesley said.

CAREER PROFILE
Writing is no mainstream job, Alissa says By NATALIE HOLMES
My writing life: Alissa Callen at home on the farm with her dog. PHOTO: GABRIELLE BATTISTEL
Dubbo-based writer Alissa Callen is now a bestselling international author with both print and ebooks under her belt, but her initial foray into the occupation was both circumstantial and inherited.
IN the serene surroundings of her small farm outside Dubbo, Alissa Callen uses her home office to write rural and commercial women’s fiction. She has been writing for 12 years and published for the past six years and her books are read all over the world in both English and German languages. “In a way, being an author chose me as it was never on my radar while at university,” she explained. “I was always an avid reader and this then segued into writing when I was at home with four young children. I also think there is a genetic component as my Aunt writes as well.” Ms Callen says that you don’t necessarily need qualifications in creative writing to become a published author.
“I have author friends who have studied creative writing at university and I also have friends who didn’t complete high school. There are craft courses and writing organisations that can help hone
skills but none of these are formal pre-requisites for writing fiction.” Although she does get to travel for research and promotional commitments, Ms Callen said that writing is far less glamorous than
perceived. “Being an author is not as idyllic as it is often portrayed. Yes, you can stay in your pyjamas until lunchtime, but writing is as demanding as it is rewarding, and
many skillsets are required to bring a story to life.” Ms Callen’s days are generally filled with administration tasks, social media and marketing, updating her website, self-editing, research and of course, writing, with a daily word count goal. The tricky part of being a writer is that it isn’t a typical nine to five job, subject to trends and instability in both domestic and overseas markets. “There is also no regular wage, sick leave or superannuation.” Ms Callen says that people are generally interested in her work because being an author isn’t a mainstream job. “A common question is where do my stories come from?” To win a signed copy of Alissa Callen’s latest rural release “The Round Yard”, send an email entry to myentry@dubbophotonews. com.au with your name, address and daytime contact number. One entry per person per email please. Ms Callen is also happy to give away a copy of her book in German to a lucky reader, so add the words “I read German” in your email entry if you’d prefer a chance to win that.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS
Seasonal work versus full-time work: ‘It’s good to have the choice’ By JOHN RYAN MATTHEW EDWARDS has spent years doing seasonal work in the agricultural industry and the past few years working in grain handling in his hometown of Narromine, but with wildly variant weather he struggled to get enough work time to see him through. “There wasn’t enough work, it was only seasonal really, the last couple of years have been pretty slow out there and I wanted full-time regular work,” Mr Edwards told Dubbo Photo News. “My uncle got a job over in Fletchers’ grain terminal and he gave me the word about it. I came here thinking I’d work in the grain side of things be-
cause of my work history with grain in Narromine.” Instead, he landed a job in the loadout section and is very happy with it. “It’s pretty good that you can just knock on the door and get a job. I’ve been looking for fulltime employment for a while now and just couldn’t seem to find it, so I’m pretty happy that I’ve got it over here,” he said. In decades gone past Mr Edwards said there were pretty clear pathways for ag workers in small towns, with most able to hold a variety of jobs, but he said it’s getting harder all the time to keep that consistency going. “When there’s a drought on it really hits workers in towns like Narromine who rely on
seasonal work in primary production, and I think people who were struggling to find full-time work like me should give it a go out here at Fletchers,” Mr Edwards said. “I’m in the load-out coldstore so I pack the pallets away into the coolroom and sort all the pallets out – we get mixed pallets in there so I have to bring them all out, sort them all out, and make mixed pallets up.” Mr Edwards was used to working outside in the sweltering summer heat so the interior load-out workplace is proving a new experience for him. “It gets pretty cold in the coolroom so you have to rug yourself up, it’s good working inside for a change,” he said. “There’s a lot of other poten-

tial jobs I could do here and skills I could learn to do them. I’ve picked up a fair few skills so far and I don’t mind learning new things. “It’s good that you don’t do the same thing every day, otherwise it gets a bit repetitive, a bit boring,” Mr Edwards said. He’s amazed at the sheer size of the Fletcher International Exports operation and said if he’d known about the opportunities to not just get a job, but also skill up along any number of career pathways, he would have had a crack a long time ago. “There’s a fair few people here and we all get along. It’s good to have a joke with the people you work with, it’s good that we get along,” he said.
Matthew Edwards was finding the ups and downs of seasonal ag work challenging, so decided a full-time job was the better option for him. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS.

First Inland Rail project sod turned near Parkes
Doug and some of his cheerful sunflowers
COLOURFUL GARDEN
Doug’s green thumb receives appreciation card
WITH the first sod of the Inland Rail project officially turned near the town of Parkes, Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton announced he was pleased to see the nation-building project kick-started. “Today is a very special milestone signifying the commencement of works on the Inland Rail – a project which compelled me to finish up on the tractor on the farm near Warialda for a career in politics,” Mr Coulton said at the sod turning. There are currently 187 live contracts for materials, goods and services worth $637 million associated with Inland Rail, including the manufacturing of 200,000 concrete sleepers. Pictured above are Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack and Member for Parkes Mark Coulton.
Doug Taylor holding the card that he received in the mailbox, standing in front of his blooming garden
DOUG Taylor is a keen gardener, and after moving into his new house in July earlier this year he has already established a magnificent front garden – but it took a lot of planning and sorting out. “I used some horse manure, but it was really green and the seedlings got burnt so we had to wait and wait,” he told Dubbo Photo News. Currently in Doug’s front garden are sunflowers, California
poppies, snap dragons, gladiolas, dayas and carnations. “I put the snap dragons in for my grandkids, to show them what a snap dragon is,” he said. “There is nothing out the back yet, that is for future progress. I want to handle this one first,” he added. Even though his garden is superb, he does not intend to enter any plants into shows, and he is not a member of any gardening clubs. “I am content to show them off
Get extra with your optical extras when you choose 2 styles from the $199 range with selected health funds
here for now, for everyone to enjoy,” he said. And enjoy they do. So much so, that Doug received a special card in his mail box on Monday, December 10, from a secret admirer of his garden. The card read as follows: ‘Neighbours in the distance, Thank you for having such a beautiful garden. It makes my drive home an absolute delight. When I come to the corner of Macquarie and Margaret I slow down and enjoy the splendour of your
garden. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you. Have a special Christmas.’ Doug would very much like to say thank you to the mystery writer for appreciating his garden and the work that he has put into it. He does not mind if the writer remains anonymous, and we agree that it is a very ‘feel good’ story to share with Dubbo Photo News readers.

Mini tribute to the Beatles By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

Hank eats apple. What makes you sad? (Makes a sad face) What are you afraid of? I don’t like scary monsters and I don’t like a bear coming for me. If you could change your name, what would it be? Grace What are you really good at? Sad faces Do you have any jokes to tell me? Turtles What is your favourite thing to eat for lunch? Sandwiches. Mummy put a mango on my bread. What is your favourite fruit? Mangoes, apple, strawberries What do you want to be when you grow up? A fireman. Cause I like to be a fireman. How old is grown up? (Holds up five fingers)
IF you catch sight of Rob Layard’s Mini Minor getting around town, you’d be right to assume he’s a bit of a Beatles fan. The 1968 Mini, which he bought in Narromine and spent two years restoring, features the famous Beatles insignia on the rear window and the entire roof is the Union Jack. While it’s quite common for Mini owners to cover the roof with insignia using sticker kits, Mr Layard’s is painted, in a pearl finish. The air valves feature tiny Union Jack tops and in the interior hang small British flags. “We had it out for the Royal visit,” he proudly said. “It got a lot of media attention and though I didn’t see, apparently made it onto the news.”
Coco + Bella
It’s the third mini Mr Layard has owned but this one will look right at home at the Tunes On The Track in January, when cover band The Beatlez go bush at the Dubbo Turf Club on Saturday, January 19. “I’ll definitely be there. I’d be happy for (my Mini) to be on display,” Mr Layard said wearing a Hard Day’s Night Beatles T-shirt, especially for the interview with Dubbo Photo News. “I’ve watched so many documentaries about the Beatles. One of the funniest things I saw was Paul McCartney telling a reporter about the time one of his kids found out he was a Beatle. Apparently they didn’t know!” The Union Jack mini has appeared at the All British Day in Canberra, at Newcastle and most recently in Sydney and, hopefully, Tunes On The Track.

Candidates challenged to not use trees for election posters
New family and domestic violence leave entitlement
DUBBO electorate Country Labor candidate Stephen Lawrence has challenged other candidates to commit to his policy of not using trees for posting election posters. “Country Labor has begun placing election posters. I have directed my campaign team not to nail or place any Country Labor election posters onto trees,” he said. “This is an unfortunate practise often undertaken during election campaigns, particularly in country areas. We have seen during this campaign the National Party’s Dugald Saunders already doing so. “Nails can in some circumstances cause harm to trees and trees on the side of highways are often council property or private property.”
DUBBO region employees experiencing family and domestic violence are now entitled to access up to five days of unpaid leave to deal with its impacts. This includes (but isn’t limited to) taking time off to make arrangements for personal safety, or the safety of a family member, attend court hearings or access police services. Family and domestic violence leave has been added to the National Employment Standards and applies to all employees in the Fair Work System. Confidential information, counselling and support for people impacted by domestic and family violence is available at www.1800respect.org.au

IN BRIEF
Digital Driver Licence no good overseas – yet DUBBO was the first location in NSW to receive access to the Digital Driver’s Licence (DDL), with a number of residents participating in a trial. They have been surveyed and asked to participate in mock breath testing with police to iron out issues with the system. More recently, a trial has begun in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. “The DDL will be used in the same way as the plastic licence card, with added advantages due to its digital nature,” a Service NSW spokesperson said. It won’t however be useful for overseas travel. “Licence holders should not expect the DDL to be accepted overseas and should carry their plastic licence card during the trial.”
FROM teaching at Cherrybrook Technology High School to becoming an accidental international math ‘rockstar’, the downto-earth internet sensation that is Eddie Woo visited Dubbo College Senior Campus students and teachers on Thursday, December 13, to share his passion for maths. “A lot of people have a very negative view of the subject. I want all of the kids to realise and be energised by what maths can do,” he said. “Teachers can do it tough out here. I want to share principles of effective teaching, particularly engaging kids.” This round of Eddie’s rural masterclasses also included a visit to Orange, as well as smaller towns including Tottenham, Trundle, Tullamore and Yeoval. “I came through the rain yesterday at nine o’clock and I was a little terrified I’d hit a ‘roo,” he laughed. At Senior Campus, Eddie ran classes with current Year 10 students undertaking transition from the junior campuses, as well as current Year 12 students. Years 7 to 9 students, as well as campus staff, also had the option of attending his classes. “What I am hoping to show

them is a part of math that they may not have realised as math, how fun and interesting math can be. “We’re not teaching them algebra, trigonometry and calculus because they’ll use algebra, trigonometry and calculus. We teach these so that they can learn to be problem solvers. “I want to make a long-term impact on the way they think of the subject and the way they think of the world.” Eddie acknowledges that rural
students are disadvantaged compared to suburban scholars, but advocates that they are just as capable of achieving high marks. “Yes, there is a difference. They grow up in an environment where there are not as many role models. They are completely capable of achieving as high, but they don’t expect themselves to achieve that high. The attitude is different, but they are no less capable.” And after struggling with maths all through school and
university, Eddie feels that it is an asset rather than a liability to struggle and empathise with kids. “I loved humanities when I was in school and all of the stories in them. That is how I like to teach maths. “It is heart-warming and encouraging to see how many people are getting something out of these videos. There are many teachers that are already teaching in this way, but I have just opened the window.”

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS by JOHN RYAN
Cool off – be safe... around rivers and dams
Presents getting stolen IS it just social media’s reach, or are there a lot more Christmas presents being stolen around Dubbo this year? Speaking of goodies being hooked, Orana Mid-Western police are appealing for any info about a large amount of alcohol and smokes being stolen from a Trangie business. If anyone offers you this sort of stuff on the cheap, please ring the local police on 6883 1599.
Mark of evil SPEAKING of stealing, I found an unnatural white mark on the top of my fencepost the other night (pictured below) and that forced me to have an uncomfortable night sleeping in the loungeroom with my cuddly wooden cudgel, a heavy walking stick I sometimes use to assist me to get around the place.
I really, really can’t stand people stealing stuff off me that I’ve had to work hard for. Having said that, local police have been arresting and charging quite a few people for multiple break and enter offences so that’s a great sign. It’s super annoying when a relatively tiny proportion of the population make so much trouble for the vast majority who just want to get on with their law-abiding lives.
The hay shed fire just north of Dubbo. PHOTO: SUPPLIED
Hay shed fire WELL done to all the local bushfire crews from Dubbo HQ, Burrabadine, Terramungamine, Narromine and also Fire and Rescue NSW units who extinguished a hay shed fire just north of Dubbo which was well alight by the time they arrived. It’s heartbreaking to see all the valuable fodder go up in smoke but the crews were able to contain what was a pretty ferocious blaze to the shed itself, and in these tinder dry conditions that’s a great effort. And it’s a warning to everyone to be careful as the weather heats up.
Truck, car crash at Narromine
Hi-tech to catch drivers on mobile phones
A LUCKY escape for four people after a truck and car collided near Narromine aerodrome at around 8.30 on Tuesday morning. Police and ambulances raced from Dubbo to attend the incident. Motorists who drove past the scene said they couldn’t believe people survived the crash as the wreckage of both the truck and car ending upside down just off the verge of the Mitchell Highway. At the time of our deadline, it didn’t appear that any of the crash victims had suffered life threatening injuries.
IF you think mobile speed cameras are a concern, you ain’t seen nothing yet. World-first mobile phone detection camera technology is here and gearing up for a trial in NSW early next month. The three-month pilot will see a honeymoon for motorists, with no infringements issued during the pilot phase. The amount of people I see texting while cruising around a roundabout is frightening, it really is a dangerous practice.
Train, car crash fatality near Euabalong IT’S not just the roads or rivers that are dangerous, rural railway crossings can also catch the unwary. A man died and a woman was injured after a train struck a ute at a level crossing on Kiacatoo Road at Euabalong last Friday, December 14. Officers from Central West Police District are investigating and a report will be prepared for the coroner.
Don’t post holiday snaps in real time GREAT to see police mounting a state-wide awareness campaign warning people not to post holiday pics on social media while you’re away on holidays. You may as well leave the lights on and the front door open and a few beers in the fridge, it’s basically an advertisement for thieves to come and visit while you’re not there. Wait until you get home to brag to family and friends about how great your holiday was.
POLICE jetskis aren’t a common sight on the mighty Macquarie but they were out in force this week as NSW Police put on a show to remind the public to be safe on the water during the holidays. Western Region Commander Geoff McKechnie said the message leading into Christmas was simple: “Every year in regional NSW we see a number of drownings occurring in our waterways, and on our dams,” he said. “It’s not rocket science, most people would know that alcohol and boating in particular don’t mix, we see a number of incidents each year involving alcohol, particularly on our dams and rivers. “People need to understand the same rules apply to rivers and dams as apply to our roads. You can’t drink and drive a boat, it’s just unsafe to be intoxicated or even partly affected by alcohol around water,” he said. Superintendent Mark Hutchings, who commands the marine police, said, “This year we have a new team – the marine enforcement team – that will be travelling around regional areas doing random breath testing and drug testing, for the first time in many areas. “Alcohol and water don’t mix, the rules that apply on the land apply on the water too – in particular taking drugs and going and driving a boat, or drinking and driving a boat, it’s just not on.” Supt Hutchings said a lot of these regional locations, unlike popular city beaches, are unpatrolled, and he said people have to look after their mates. “You haven’t got lifesavers on every river, we need to have our friends and our families look after each other when we are going down to the river. “The one thing we see time and time again is people overestimating their ability and underestimating the water.”

IN BRIEF
Digital Driver Licence no good overseas – yet
By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY WESTERN Plains Cultural Centre receptionist Shanae Gosper is pictured here admiring a work of art from the city’s WPCC Collection exhibition which opened on December 15. Called “Mother Courage”, it is painted bronze by Latvian artist Anita Rezevska whose family were war refugees and depicts “survival in spite of the deadly forces of nature or the disasters committed by humanity itself”. The WPCC Collection represents diverse media, styles, concepts and artists all which follow
an ‘Animal in Art’ theme. As a collection, the relationship people have with animals in this region and Australia is being documented in art, and explains how a contemporary picture of the back of a fluffy white kitten’s head has a place beside a photograph of a naked human posing as road kill on the highway as part of a performance piece, beside sketches by George Lambert and video work by Angelica Mesiti. For the history buffs, one of the oldest works on display is dated 1881 by Australian architect Edmund Blacket who designed Dubbo’s Brisbane Street Holy Trinity
Anglican Church in the 1870s. His idyllic pastoral scene is called “Macquarie View”, named for the farm shown in the painting which was the home of Dubbo’s first mayor, James Samuels. The WPCC collection dates back decades, with its earliest works coming to Dubbo City Council through donations and gifts, often as part of the annual Dubbo Art Prize. Assisted by the Friends of the WPCC and donations from artists and collectors, the WPCC allegedly houses one of the finest collections of the depiction of the animals, in Australia.

DUBBO was the first location in NSW to receive access to the Digital Driver’s Licence (DDL), with a number of residents participating in a trial. They have been surveyed and asked to participate in mock breath testing with police to iron out issues with the system. More recently, a trial has begun in Sydney’s eastern suburbs. “The DDL will be used in the same way as the plastic licence card, with added advantages due to its digital nature,” a Service NSW spokesperson said. It won’t however be useful for overseas travel. “Licence holders should not expect the DDL to be accepted overseas and should carry their plastic licence card during the trial.”

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.
Latest step for medical school part of a two decade journey By JOHN RYAN
BACK in the 1990s, then Federal Health Minister Michael Wooldridge was invited to a forum in Mudgee by Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson to hear concerns about a lack of Australian trained doctors in regional communities. Country medical students made the trip up from the big smoke with some of their lecturers from Sydney University and told stories about how their families were sacrificing so much to keep them at uni. Wooldridge had heard all this before but was finally swayed when trainee doctor after trainee doctor told of their lives of lectures, study and then how many bar shifts they had to do each week just to earn the money they needed to eat. It cut through, and it was this grassroots campaign by Sydney University that changed the narrative, the health minister committing on the spot to set up bursaries to help ensure that students from the bush could become doctors without having to slave behind a bar after they’d been slaving all day at the books. The research was already there that most country doctors had come from the country, but too many were going to metro areas and doing the hard yards, maybe meeting their city-based partners and then staying in the big cities. And the medical students who grew up in the cities weren’t coming out to the bush at all. Former federal Member for Parkes Tony Lawler began collaborating with Sydney University to set up a clinical training school in Dubbo, but the city was so under resourced in the medical arts in the 1990s that it seemed like a fantasy. Helped by local visionaries such as Dr Bruce Harris, a member of the council for the National Health Alliance, the dream became a reality. Tony Lawler said he couldn’t be more excited to see that small start grow into a full-blown endto-end clinical school, with current Minister for Regional Services Bridget McKenzie coming to town this past week to announce the School of Rural Health will receive $7.65 million to expand and transform the existing premises and construct a new building on adjacent vacant land, offering a wealth of advantages for country-based medical students. “It will be a great step forward both for individual students who prefer to study in the country, but also for the rural communities who are always under pressure because of the difficulty delivering great health care away from the big cities,” Mr Lawler told
University of Sydney’s Professor Mark Arnold, front, is pictured at last Friday’s funding anouncement at the School of Rural Health in Dubbo with Minister for Regional Services Bridget McKenzie, Member for Parkes Mark Coulton, and The Nationals’ candidate for the state seat of Dubbo.

Dubbo Photo News. “From the early days of John Anderson, Michael Wooldridge, Bruce Harris and many others, the model has developed and expanded until this announcement. “I’ve spoken to many students who say that, far from being disadvantaged, studying in the rural areas has given them access to superior teaching and experiences and they would not have swapped their rural experience for anything,” he said. University of Sydney’s Professor Mark Arnold agreed Dubbo is the perfect place for students to launch their careers. “One aspect that is novel and really isn’t reproduced elsewhere is the ability of our students to be able to go out into the western towns and have experience with-
in them that really is authentic rural experience – not just in an enormous regional town, (but) authentic experiences. These are the things that actually change hearts and minds,” Prof Arnold said. One- and two-year course offerings will now be extended to four years of uninterrupted medical study in Dubbo. Once again the common factor is the University of Sydney. “The current model of medical training will be turned on its head – the majority of training will happen in the regions, and rotations to metropolitan areas for specialist experience kept to a minimum,” Minister McKenzie said. “This program will allow students in Dubbo and across the Central West and Orange regions to train within their local area.”
` I’ve spoken to many students who say that, far from being disadvantaged, studying in the rural areas has given them access to superior teaching and experiences and they would not have swapped their rural experience for anything... a – Former federal Member for Parkes Tony Lawler
Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said it’s been a long time coming and remarked on the persistence of Sydney University. “I’m very excited. There’s been a lot of work go into this, Sydney University has been beavering away for a long time,” Mr Coulton said. “If you cast your mind back a decade, Dubbo wasn’t considered a place of excellence when it came to services in health, but with the investment from the state government in the hospital, the contribution from the federal government and the state government for the cancer centre that’s well underway, the work that’s been going on here with Sydney University, and now this last announcement, we are starting to see this whole precinct become a centre of excellence to service the people of western NSW – not just Dubbo – with the type of services that others elsewhere take for granted “These things don’t happen by accident, there’s a lot of work, a lot of planning, a lot of foresight,” he said. Professor Arnold is keen to see
the shovels hit the dirt next March on an 1100 square metre facility. “Now we’ll be able to do four years so we’ll be able to implement this program with all the rigour of our program in Sydney, with state-of-the-art basic sciences (which) are the core of medicine – and we’ll teach people properly. They will be able to undertake the sort of research that the community needs, they’ll be able to work out here with the types of practitioners the community requires, not only now but in the future. “We’re looking at a stream of people coming through,” Prof Arnold said. “The local clinicians have been energised by this. It’s a long tradition in medicine to actually give back and teach. Just in the plane this morning I was speaking to one of our colleagues here who’s very keen to reengage and become an anatomy tutor for our students. That’s fantastic not only for our students, but it also gives our practitioners here in the hospital just another area of interest that will make it attractive to stay in Dubbo.”

Christmas without cheer. Power prices. John Ryan
Speed camera in waiting MOBILE speed cameras have been out in force and Whylandra Street just near Club Dubbo has been a favoured location of late. Whether you’re in favour of these revenue-raising machines or not, they’re a fact of life and drivers should be sticking to the speed limits anyway. Coming into the holiday season these highly visible vehicles (once you’ve gone past them they’re highly visible anyway) are a timely reminder to check your speed and slow down if needed.

R.I.P.
WITH Christmas fast approaching it’s worth remembering that not everyone is full of good cheer at this time of year. Personally, some people I’ve known well have died in the past week or two and it’s a poignant time for their family and friends. A few weeks ago I spent an hour or so having a yarn with George Letfallah on his block just south of Dubbo and one thing that struck me about George was that any day I saw him, it made it a better day for me – there was something about this bloke’s gentlemanly manner which really warmed the people he interacted with. So condolences to George’s family and friends, he’ll be greatly missed. Former Dubbo local Peter Woods was another bloke who died this week at 77 after fighting a serious lung disease. Peter had a huge following amongst local farmers, one year selling more than 100 brand new International tractors. Gary Davey was on the pub-convened committee with Peter when they set up the Dubbo Demons Aussie Rules, with Peter also one of the driving forces behind the central west competition. “He was a real character, there was always some positive mischief he was up to, he behaved like a teenager,” Mr Davey said. “He drove the idea of setting up an Aussie Rules team in Dubbo and was instrumental when it came to setting up the central western league.” Gary said Peter always listed his greatest achievement as being able to play a game in the same team as his son Lex. Peter was originally from Corowa and had moved back to Albury some years ago to be closer to family. So amidst your Christmas cheer, spare a thought for those who are grieving at this time of year.
CONGRATS to Helen Johnson, a teacher at Yeoval Central School, who has been selected as a regional teacher mentorship recipient with the renowned Bell Shakespeare. The teachers will receive specialist training in teaching Shakespeare and do it while collaborating and networking with teachers from other regions. While receiving their training at Bell’s Sydney HQ they’ll also get to see the company’s production of The Miser at Sydney Opera House, starring John Bell, and on return to their schools they’ll participate in ongoing mentoring and support.
his time. I’ve given up on that, it gets you nowhere. Until Telstra makes a real effort to contact me and fix my massive ongoing mobile phone dramas I’m going to keep letting people know just how bad this company is when it comes to service. By service, I mean the network coverage, because when it comes to after sales service it’s more non-existent even than that coverage. While I’m on the subject of Telcos, the fact they’re charging taxpayers for emergency alerts in Queensland is pathetic – they make so much of the consumers in Australia, they just can’t help themselves.

THE state election is heating up. I noticed a piece in the Guardian about an Electoral Commission raid on some people behind the “Put the Nats Last” campaign, which has an office in Mudgee.

The raid came after complaints had been made to the Commission. Closer to home and I’ve been told that multiple complaints have been made to the Electoral Commission regarding expenditure by Independent Candidate Mathew Dickerson. I asked Mr Dickerson about this and he confirmed that the Electoral Commission had indeed been in touch. “The Electoral Commission contacted me and said they have never received so many frivolous complaints this early in a campaign,” Mr Dickerson said in an email to me. “They asked questions about the accusations made against me and, at this stage, no further information has been requested from me and no breach was found.” He said he asked if he was going to have a breach notice served on him. “They told me verbally that they are not,” Mr Dickerson said. “I have nothing from them in writing.” The Electoral Commission has been approached by me for comment, but nothing had been received at deadline.
Power prices I WOULDN’T like to be in the state coalition’s shoes when it comes to explaining the hash they’ve made of the Ausgrid sale. Average people are hurting big time when it comes to paying power bills so when the Auditor General says there’s serious shortcomings with the way the state’s privatisation of electricity was handled, it’s a serious grassroots
hip-pocket issue. On top of that, 30 per cent of the sale proceeds were earmarked for the regions but so far not much more than half that, 17 per cent, has flowed to the country areas. I know government is slow to move and I know the coast has far more shovel-ready projects, but this is where we need government to really assist and look at longer term planning to help this investment come into the regions.
Great Barrier Zoo WHEN I first covered the yarn about Dubbo’s zoo helping preserve the Great Barrier Reef years ago I got a lot of feedback about it, simply because it seems way too unbelievable to be true. The Reef Recovery Program has been running about seven years now and in that time 21 different coral species that have been cryopreserved have been stored at the zoo, according to senior reproductive biologist Dr Rebecca Hobbs. “We now have a variety of hard coral species represented in our bank here at the Zoo, including branching (table and staghorn) and brain (massive and encrusting) corals,” Dr Hobbs said. The team has been collecting samples from different regions of the reef for the last three years in a bid to maximise the diversity of species. “The program has helped establish principles for the use of cryopreserved coral sperm in future reef management and restoration efforts,” she said.
No Yo-Yeo ISAAH YEO’S rugby league career doesn’t seem to have any ups and downs, he’s about as consistent a player as any coach could ask for. It’s a reason for comment if he makes any sort of error, so few and far between are they, and it’s a mark of his never-say-die attitude that has his name being bandied about as a possible Panthers’ captain in 2019. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best z Additional reporting by Dubbo Photo News staff.

Dubbo Photo News December 20-26, 2018
OPINION & ANALYSIS
2018: The Winners & The Losers Greg Smart ❚ OPINION 2018 is now thankfully drawing to a close. The usual events, such as a change of Prime Minister and shambolic national energy policy, shared centre stage with severe climatic events and stagnant wage growth. It has been a long and exhausting year that we can now put behind us. But not before the annual Dubbo Weekender Awards! This year the Awards have been spilt into two categories – Winners and Losers – and the judges drew inspiration from PM Morrison by giving a fair go to anyone who was prepared to Have a Go.
The Winners The Big 4 Consultancy companies – PWC, KPMG, Ernst & Young, and Deloitte – continued to rake in hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer-funded federal and state government consultancies. Over $650 million this year as part of $3.1 billion in the last six years. That these companies are major political donors, architects of multinational tax avoidance schemes, and perform the functions of the public service should of course be no cause for concern. Government intervention in coal fired energy production – in a complete reversal of its free market ideology, a section of the Liberal-National Party (LNP) floated the idea of the taxpayer-funded forced acquisition of Liddell power station, even though the current owner has deemed Liddell to be unviable past 2022. The government sealed this award by later going on to threaten to unleash ‘a big stick’ to market forces/private operators to drive down energy prices. Stochastic Terrorism – noun – the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted, most commonly manifesting in the occurrence of a lone wolf attack. One type of terrorism enabling another terrorism showed no signs of slowing down this year. The Canberra Bubble – now made famous by the Prime Minister as
Cartoons by Paul Dorin
the idea that journalists, bureaucrats and politicians in Canberra obsess about Canberra goings-on and ignore the wider community – yet he forgets that Canberra is defined by politics and bureaucracy, and participants in the Canberra Bubble come from other places to do so. America – the public finally appears to have woken up to the fact that thoughts and prayers were never a satisfactory response to gun violence. The Republican Party are being left behind on this issue by the public; the public led by teenagers and mothers, have decided enough is enough. The Sun – one year on from the legalisation of same sex marriage, the sun still rises and sets. The Australian Labor Party – haven’t been without political posturing and histrionics, but by keeping their head below the battlements and letting the LNP implode, have almost certainly guaranteed their return to government next year. Women – activated by entrenched misogyny, assaults on common decency, general incompetence and events such as the confirmation of Brett Kavanagh to the US
Supreme Court, ongoing gun violence and the existence of Donald Trump, highly capable and qualified women have run and won office in the US Mid Term Elections. The same is happening in Australia, with the election of Kerryn Phelps signalling more independent female candidates will be candidates at upcoming elections.
The Losers Australia Day warriors – the commentariat were apoplectic on social media about any hint that Australia Day was to be moved from January 26 or wasn’t being celebrated hard enough or not at all. Even the Federal Government weighed in, threatening to punish local councils who moved Australia Day celebrations to another day. Few seemed to be able to process the facts that after having already landed in Sydney Cove on January 21 then returning to Botany Bay, the proposed landing of the Fleet in Sydney Cove was delayed a day until January 26, 1788, due to a severe storm, and the formal declaration of the colony of New South Wales took place on February 7. Australia Day has variously been celebrated in July and April, with January 26 becoming the widely accepted date less than a century ago. Whilst the date would therefore seem a moving target, the right-wing outrage industry were united in their confected outrage of the suggestion of any date other than the 26th of January. And the 60,000+ years of indigenous culture is again not part of the debate. Aung San Suu Kyi – the Nobel Peace Prize laureate and longtime human rights advocate has become de facto leader of Myanmar, yet failed to reign in the military, nor the
oppression and genocide of minority Rohingya Muslims by the Buddhist majority. She has been complicit in the silencing of activists and journalists, and Amnesty International has withdrawn her Ambassador of Conscience Award. The National Party – put aside/wilfully ignored/conveniently ignored Barnaby Joyce’s adultery, dubious creation of a government job for his partner, and entitlements rorting and pre-selected him again for the seat of New England. The endorsement of yesterday’s man to continue to have a role in the National Party has energised a large number of highly capable and qualified rural women to come at the National Party ‘with a big stick’ in an effort to change the Party’s direction. Abbott – thinks more prayer needed. SCOMO – anybody who calls the Prime Minister SCOMO needs to grow up, put away the blokey mate act and learn the notion of gravitas. And this means the Prime Minister too, who goes around shopping centres introducing himself as SCOMO. Cringeworthy and embarrassing in equal measure. As a country we are more mature than this, surely? Prime Minister Scott Morrison – the accidental prime minister thinks his leadership credibility is measured by how blokey he behaves and how loudly he shouts. He ends up displaying all the credibility of the monorail spruiker on The Simpsons, but none of the charm. The LNP fringe group – who are vocal advocates for both the weakening of racial discrimination laws and the strengthening of laws to allow religious discrimination, yet fails to see this dichotomy doesn’t stand the test of Christian Values. Every right-wing political commentator and politician – who
ignored the widely known suffering caused by sexual assaults carried out by religious practitioners, and dismissed the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse as populist politics and an attack on religious freedom. Two Thirds of Religious groups – who saw the findings of the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sex Abuse and continue to avoid signing up to the Redress Scheme designed to offer victims of ‘pastoral care’ some degree of compensation. The word ‘important’ – has been replaced on the street and on televised media by impordnt. Have a listen – even happens on the ABC. The NRL – the five players charged with sexual assault against a female just in the last month says volumes about the sense of entitlement of the players and negates the usual defence of ‘boys will be boys’. Trump – has been on the ropes all year due to the mounting evidence of campaign finance fraud, Russian collusion and epic incompetence. The growing amount of indictable evidence being given against him by his inner circle will put an end to his Presidency before the end of 2019. Banks & Financial Institutions – who prioritised shareholder value over customer service and basic decency. The appearances of their CEOs and board Chairs at the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry (which had been dismissed by those with allegiances to the industry as rank populism and socialism) was to see the mighty squirm. Under pressure to justify charging fees to dead customers, document forgery and lying to banking regulators, many became defensive and pompous in the witness box. This examination of the industry was overdue and exposed a culture of profit before people that demonstrates their complete distain for their customers’ intelligence, and the exploitation of their power over people’s lives – the complete opposite of the warm and fuzzy image the industry presents in its advertising. Domestic Violence Victims – The press response to the threat of needles in strawberries, the offenders labelled ‘grubs’ and ‘cowards’, resulted in an instant new law with a maximum 15 years in gaol. A shark attack brings a shark summit, culling, and publicity like the Australian beach culture is under siege. Yet 68 Australian women have died violently due to domestic violence so far in 2018 and there is silence. No national outcry, no posturing in Parliament. The Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education study in July 2018 found a 40 per cent increase in domestic violence on State of Origin rugby league nights. Like the number of victims, this piece of research barely made the news. z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, and is keen observer of current affairs.

TRIBUTE
Gwynneth Joyce Gleeson December 9, 1924 – November 23, 2018 Gwynneth Joyce Gleeson passed away on November 23. She had lived in Dubbo for 58 years. This eulogy was delivered by her daughter Jill McCann at a memorial service held in Dubbo on December 10.
M
UM WAS THE SIXTH of seven children born on December 9, 1924, to Fred and Josephine Whitten in Quirindi, NSW. Her parents lived at the time on their property, Woodstock, which was in the area around Wallabadah that had been settled by Fred’s pioneer parents, Anthony and Charlotte Whitten, both of Protestant Irish descent – possibly Huguenot. During her pregnancy with Mum, Josephine had been tossed out of a sulky as she was going to town – my grandfather apparently used to buy ex-trotters as his sulky horses and they liked to go fast. Josie dislocated her hip in the fall and – this was 1924, she was pregnant, it was in the bush – it was never successfully treated. She walked with a limp for the rest of her life. The other fallout from the accident was that my grandfather realised that commuting from Woodstock to town was hazardous. They had to cross an often-flooded Jacob and Joseph Creek seven times – so he bought a house in town where the family lived, and he visited at weekends. The Whittens were devout Methodists – once the excitement of their father’s arrival on Saturdays was over, the family Sundays were dominated by Church and Sunday School. Charlotte and Anthony didn’t dance or play cards – the devil’s pictures – but Josie, our grandmother, had been brought up differently – in the city – and loved to sing and dance, so she tempered any tendency to dour Methodism. There were also lots of other Whittens around so there were long family lunches on Sundays, big afternoon teas and singing around the piano. Mum loved her childhood. She had big brothers and sisters and cousins who were lively and involved in everything going on in Quirindi, she had a little sister, Joan, born four years after Mum, and a small friendly community. At Primary School and then at what was then Quirindi District Rural School (an Intermediate High School) she was a good student, and good at sport – she won prizes for swimming and run-
ning. She also had piano lessons, which lasted long enough for her to be able to play almost anything by ear – a talent which stood her in good stead all her life. When she was in first year at High School she had a new English teacher who was to change her life. A young man called Bill Gleeson, who became a friend of the family and played sport with her brother, Royce. He wrote on her school report that year that her “conduct could be improved” and she was “very restless in class”, but by the time she was 16 and he had left to teach in Sydney, he was really just waiting for her to grow up so he could marry her. By this time there was a war on. Mum and her friends formed a group called “The Patriotic Younger Set” and organised concerts and events to raise money and keep up spirits. We have a program from the “Chins Up” revue of July 1942, and a newspaper clipping which describes her singing “very prettily”. Mum and Dad sang together at their wedding in December 1943. The song was “My Hero” from a popular musical of the time, “The Chocolate Soldier”. They reprised it for all the guests at their 40th wedding anniversary, and Mum remembered all the words and sang along when we found it on YouTube just after her stroke. They moved to Sydney for a year, then to the small southwestern NSW town of Young, where they were to spend the next nine years, and where the first four of their children were born. They were happy years, with lifelong friendships formed. One of those friendships, with a student of Dad’s – Albert Stevens – was rekindled after they moved to Dubbo. In 1954, the whole family packed up and moved hundreds of miles north, (by train!) to Glen Innes, where Dad became English master at Glen Innes High School. Here the post-war shortage of housing created such an issue for them that they decided to build a house – Dad and his friends did the labouring, Mum held bits of wood and equipment, cooked and did all the housework, and together they found Mrs Gleeson loved nothing more than lunch or coffee and a chat. One of her favourite watering holes was the Outlook Cafe at the old school where she would look out on No.2 Oval and reminisce about Astley Cup hockey games. Gwen is pictured here on one such occasion, in January last year, at the Outlook with daughter Libby Gleeson. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/FILE
time to add Margie to the family, in 1956. Despite all this busyness, Mum was an active member of the Mothers’ Clubs of our schools, she knitted and sewed our clothes and she wrote letters – to her mother in Quirindi and to other friends and family. Anyone who has ever received one of Mum’s letters knows that they were long and full of news and anecdotes – in the days before cheap phone calls, handwritten correspondence was the only way to stay in touch. In 1960, Dad was promoted to the position of Deputy Headmaster of Dubbo High School. None of us really wanted to leave Glen Innes which had been home for six years, but Dad’s career came first. Once again, housing was an issue – Dad went off to Dubbo at the start of Term 1 to look for a place to live and left Mum with five kids and no car or phone. I don’t know how many times he managed to come home – probably only at Easter – but we had great neighbours and Dad’s former colleagues helped. I think the last straw was when Margie, who was 4, looked up from playing on the floor one day and asked, “When did Daddy die?” Mum announced that we were going to Dubbo at the start of Term 2, even if we had to sleep on floors, but by this time Dad had found a house to rent in Macquarie Street. It wasn’t in very good condition but it had enough bedrooms and a garden and so we duly said goodbye and drove off. Mum cried all the way to Armidale. This was the beginning of Mum’s 58 years in Dubbo, and of one of her abiding passions – Dubbo High School (DHS). She was interested because it was Dad’s place of work, and one by one, her children’s school, and then later her grandchildren’s school... but it was more than that. Mum loved history and tradition, and Dubbo High had that. She loved sport and competition, and Dubbo High had the Astley Cup. She loved old country values and country people, and Dubbo High had that. She was active in the P&C and the Canteen; she helped at the Fete and at school dances. Over the years she knew the successive members of the staff from the cleaning ladies to the Head teachers. She knew all the kids in our class and remembered them when she ran into them in the street or when she saw them years later at our reunions. When the Bindyi Club was formed in 1985 she and Dad both joined and attended the annual lunches. In 2012 they made her an Honorary Life Member, and she was thrilled. It was in Dubbo that Michael, the last of the family, was born, and the cycle of involvement in schools continued through his Dubbo Primary School and DHS years. At some point during these years she became a Patron at
both schools, and she loved attending their functions and Presentation Days. She was also a Patron of DATS, and regarded the building of the theatre as a great leap forward for the community, particularly when her granddaughter Jessica appeared there with the Bell Shakespeare Co. Dad’s retirement in 1973 gave them the opportunity to travel – they packed Michael up and went off to see Europe for the first time. It was an exhilarating few months – they were both so knowledgeable about history and geography that so much of it was familiar to them. They visited the Whitten’s home in Roscrea, Ireland, which was still occupied by members of the family; they saw Paris and Venice and Rome and Athens and came home with stories for the rest of their lives. In 1984, Paul and I, with Patrick and Brendan, came to live in Dubbo. It was typical of Mum’s huge generosity of spirit that they had been absorbed into the family immediately as grandchildren, part of her loving flock of pet lambs. She was thrilled that they were at Dubbo Public, and then Dubbo High School, she followed their cricket and tennis exploits and she was always happy to sit over a cuppa with them. For our part, it was important that we could help her through the difficult years of Dad’s decline into dementia, and the early years of her widowhood. Some of it was a struggle for her – Dad had been the person who paid bills and called tradesmen and dealt with practicalities and now she had to take on those roles, but it was typical of her positive attitude to life that she was able to shoulder these new responsibilities. She even had two flights to America to see Michael – something else she would never

have imagined doing without Dad. And she developed other new interests. She became a guide at Dundullimal, where she loved to talk to visitors about its history, and she did several bus trips with the National Trust. She drove – very carefully – to Canberra and Albury and Sydney to see the family. She had always had to fight for a bit of the paper – and for time to read it – but now she read the Sydney Morning Herald every day and did the crossword and phoned at least one of us to bemoan or rejoice in the political news. She continued to write letters, but now she also had time to telephone – her sister Joan in Taree, and all of her far-flung children and, as they got older, the grandchildren. She loved nothing more than lunch or coffee and a chat with visitors to Bultje St – or at one of her favourite watering holes – the Magnolia Café or the Outlook at the old school where she would look out on No.2 Oval and reminisce about Astley Cup hockey games. And there was always family around – especially at Christmas when she would play the piano and everyone would sing. Her grandchildren are probably the only kids of their generation who can sing “The Whiffenpoof Song”. Mum had a stroke sitting in our living room on July 2. Despite the earliest possible intervention and the best of care, the damage was great – she could no longer walk, or read, or watch television, or feed herself. But, importantly, she could still talk and her memory was still strong. She endeared herself to her carers and nurses at Feros Care in Bangalow as she told them stories of her life, and she was able to remember and communicate with all of her visitors over most of the four months she was there. All the great love she had demonstrated to her family and friends came back to her – there was always someone to sit by her bedside and hold her hand. Mum wasn’t much of a churchgoer – too many years with our atheist father. But she was a true believer in the power of love – her love for her family, her friends, her community, for humanity really, was her guiding principle.

OPINION & ANALYSIS LETTERS & FEEDBACK
THE TOONS’ VIEWS
EVERY SINGLE DAY
Disappointed to see riverside markets go The Editor, I attended the markets on Sunday, December 16, and when I asked a stall holder when the next market would be in January, he told me that there would be no more in Dubbo. The stall holder I spoke to has been at the markets every month for the past 20 years. These markets are far better and with a larger variety of stalls compared to others, and it will be a disservice to Dubbo if these markets are shut down. There are people who time their visit to Dubbo just because the markets are on, which brings extra revenue to the city in shopping and overnight stays. So please think before you shut it down.

comrades lost in conflict, or in the aftermath of their service, and separation from those who continue to serve. Ensuring our veterans and their families have the right support if they need it, is vital for them to readjust to life outside the Australian Defence Force. I wish to reassure veterans and their families that help and support, including mental health support, is available throughout the holiday period, and they can continue to access crucial Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA) services during this time. If you are concerned about yourself, or someone you know this hol-
iday season, please don’t suffer in silence. Open Arms – Veterans and Families Counselling provides confidential counselling and support services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This service is available toll free on 1800 011 046, 24/7. Veterans can also visit DVA’s At Ease mental health portal wherever they are at www.at-ease.dva.gov.au. To all members of the veteran and Defence community and their families I wish you all the best for the festive season and new year. Thank you for your service.

MODERN Australia was founded as a penal colony, a place of exile for those who were ‘less equal’ in the Great Britain of the time. In the first 100 years though, our nation had developed the culture of the “fair go” for all. We grew proud and strong, empowered by our shared values of equality and inclusion – of mateship. Since then, with the exception of our shameful discrimination against “people of colour”, we built a modern nation with the aid of immigrants fleeing poverty, war or oppression who came to our shores – mostly by boat – to start new lives. Many of these people had no more than a suitcase of belongings and a dream, but in time became fair dinkum, productive, proud Aussies. There really isn’t any difference in most of the people trying to reach Australia now. The vast majority of them are decent people wanting a fair go in life, and history proves that if we offer them that chance we
will all be better for it. On the other hand, the approach we are taking as a nation at present reeks of greed, inhumanity – and short-sightedness. Let’s never forget the old saying: “There, but for the grace of God – or just plain dumb luck – go I.” Between now and Christmas say “G’day” to everyone you meet. Just a smile can do it. And offer help where it is needed. We know that’s a win-win. It feels good to help, and ‘they’ may return the favour one day. That’s called smart altruism – which is just another phrase for mateship, and the true spirit of mateship is that we are ALL in this together. Say g’day and have a great week. z Kim’s column takes a break from next week and will return later in January. z In this series of articles, Dubbo-based iKiFit founder Kim Macrae writes about ideas and activities that can help brighten our own lives and the lives of those around us. Each article is based around one of the words in the iKi song “Every Single Day”. The core belief is that the key to living productive and rewarding lives is choosing – and practising – behaviours that lead to positive, life-affirming outcomes for ourselves, our families and our communities.

COUNCIL WATCH
Dubbo Photo News’s independent reporting on and analysis of Dubbo Regional Council activities
Rubbish, rates and roads, and then some By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL has had a busy 2018 focussing on slightly more than just rubbish, rates and roads. Rubbish did consume a lot of the community’s time with the introduction of the organics bin and smaller general waste bin. FOGO, the food and garden waste service, is one of the more ambitious projects undertaken by Council this year but the community was taken, kicking and screaming as it turned out to be, to an end result which so far has collected over 1400 tonnes of organic waste from Dubbo Regional, Mid-Western Regional and Narromine Shire Councils since July. In 2019, the treated organics will be made available as compost, creating a model circular economy. Trains, planes and automobiles (or the bridges that carry them) have appeared in the headlines on more than one occasion this year. The announcement of the new Regional Rail Fleet maintenance facility, though upsetting residents who will live in its proximity, was welcomed by Council for the boon it will bring to the economy, and jobs. The Dubbo facility would be the home base for new XPT, XPLORER and Endeavour trains when they enter the service in early 2020. Council took to the skies with

extensive developments undertaken at the Dubbo Regional Airport and putting its hand up as a contender for the Qantas Pilot Academy. Toowoomba is the first of two locations to be chosen from a shortlist of eight regional cities. Alice Springs, Bendigo, Busselton, Dubbo, Launceston, Mackay and Wagga Wagga are still under consideration for the second academy site. As far as roads go, 1035 kilometres of unsealed roads were graded by Council and pressure on the State Government to reverse their decision on a bridge at River Street was stepped up following the release of results from a public survey. According to the survey, an overwhelming response favoured a ring road (93 per cent of respondents) to improve traffic flow while also providing a flood proof crossing for heavy vehicles. Sixty-nine per cent of the 2603 surveys received said ‘no’ to a
COUNCIL NEWS... IN BRIEF Bodangora Community Benefit Fund Round 3 allocated DUBBO REGIONAL COUNCIL has decided which projects will receive funding from the Bodangora Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund Round 3. They are: St Mary’s Catholic School Wellington, $1500; Bodangora Reserve Trust, $1000; Wellington Connect Incorporated t/as Wellington Men’s Shed, $2500; Wellington Girl Guides, $5000; Wellington Cowboys Junior Rugby League, $2500; Provision of Aged Persons Accommodation, $2500; Wellington District Cricket Association, $2500; Wellington Golf Club, $2170; Wellington PCYC, $2830; and Parkrun Incorporated trading as Parkrun Australia, $2500.
The fund is the result of former Wellington Council forming a Planning Agreement with Infigen-Bodangora Wind Farm Pty Ltd in March 2013. As part of that agreement, the company would develop the wind farm and set up a fund to provide financial support to local community organisations. Round 4 will call for submissions in May 2019.
Over 70 per cent of pool survey respondents want indoor pool THE Dubbo Aquatic and Leisure Centre masterplan is closer to its final form following the conclusion of a stakeholder and community consultation process. Results show that 72 per cent of respondents want an indoor pool included in the master plan. They also want the pool to be open all year round, have improved access and facilities for people with disabilities, and increased affordability for the widest range of residents. Over 700 people completed online
QUESTIONS FOR COUNCIL CBD speeds Reader question: Would Council consider a speed reduction in the CBD to reduce potential accidents, particularly to older residents? My suggestion would be for the speed limit to be reduced to 40km/h in the area bounded by Talbragar, Darling, Bultje and Bligh Streets. This would certainly make it safer for the elderly, the young, mothers with prams, and the handicapped. Council responds: Dubbo City Council had previously considered a 40km/h speed zone change for the CBD quite some years ago however, upon consid-
bridge at River Street. A third bridge for Dubbo may be a state election decider. Masterplans were issued from Council on a regular basis, including the draft Dubbo Leisure and Aquatic Centre (DALC) masterplan which went on public display with many respondents saying they want to see an indoor pool included. Funding was secured for a bronze statue of William Ferguson who was a proud campaigner for Aboriginal rights, setting up the Aborigines’ Progressive Association in Dubbo in 1937 and playing a key role in improving the lives of Indigenous people. Stage One of the Victoria Park Redevelopment Project was completed despite a very rocky start when 50- to 80-year-old trees were unceremoniously cut down to very loud objection by the community. Twenty-two trees have been planted in their place, 800 metres of white picket fencing erect-
eration of the matter, resolved to retain the 50km General Urban Speed Limit. Since then, even though the CBD experiences high vehicle and pedestrian traffic, there is no concerning road safety history that has required Council’s intervention to improve the environment. There are currently no discussions with Council for a speed reduction in the CBD. Roads and Maritime Services have jurisdiction over speed limits, however to support a 40km/h speed zone within the CBD Dubbo Regional Council would be required to implement additional
surveys. Further review of the survey and community consultation and other regional and intercity aquatic centres will take place prior to another report to Council next year.
Dubbo Open Space Master Plan 2018 on public exhibition THE draft Dubbo Open Space Master Plan 2018 will be placed on public exhibition for a minimum of 28 days from late January 2019. The plan features three themes. Dubbo the Destination, which uses the open space network of green spaces to connect existing user groups and stimulate tourism. Dubbo the Green Web uses the ‘green spine’ along the river corridor and a ‘city in the park’ concept which links existing green spaces with park streets. Dubbo Resilient to Climate Change acknowledges evolving climate patterns and seeks to reduce the impact on open spaces. The community is invited to make submissions on its content. Copies are avail-
traffic calming facilities to reduce the overall speed environment such as kerb blisters, intersection thresholds, additional speed humps, landscaping and signage, etc.
Tip voucher
ed, new turf laid, and paving installed between Victoria Park 2 and 3 ovals. You couldn’t pay for the public relations achieved when Harry and Meghan came to town. Dubbo was plastered over the news around the world. Though the visit didn’t go entirely without hitch, though a downpour of rain played into the hands of the drought support themed address given by Prince Harry, it did disappoint some who missed out on a handshake or a hello. Dubbo Regional Council made plenty of inroads into future marketing of the city, with an expression of interest on a project dubbed ‘Destination Dubbo-International Ready’ which was made to the NSW Government being given a green light to progress to a business case under the Regional Growth Environment and Tourism Fund. This could see the installation of the Dubbo Wiradjuri Tourism Cen-
the year for residents with eligible properties. This voucher is issued to ratepayers for residential properties where there is a wheelie bin collection provided to the property. This tip voucher was issued to Wellington residents for the first time in the 2018/19 year. If someone hasn’t received a voucher they need to contact us with their property details, names, etc, and we will check it. If entitled, a voucher will be issued.
Reader question: My friend owns a property in Dubbo and I own a property in Wellington. He mentioned that he receives a free tip voucher with his rates notice every year. I have never received this, despite the two Councils amalgamating more than two Wellington Caves years ago. Can you explain why aviary there is a difference please? Council responds: Reader question: The old aviary Tip Vouchers are included with the at the Wellington Caves is very old initial rates assessment notice for fashioned and the two cockatoos
tre, where repatriated sacred Aboriginal carved trees currently held in storage at the Australian Museum would be displayed to create a cultural experience unique to this region. Exhibiting these Indigenous artefacts here would mean Dubbo becomes the only location in the world to display this nationally significant collection. The Macquarie Foreshore Cultural Precinct and Trails will also get a boost from the fund. Wellington and surrounding communities have also received unprecedented attention and development over the past 12 months. A 15-year stall on the development of the RAAF Stores Depot finally moved forward this year, opening the way to future developments to begin. 2019 is poised to be another action packed year... but, whatever happened to our lake?

Wellington concerns about removal of Claret Ash at pool THE proposed removal of a Claret Ash tree at the Wellington Memorial Pool has generated a lot of emotion among residents, and Council has debated how best to tackle the issue. During demolition of old amenities at the pool, the tree’s roots were found to have penetrated the footing. A report from the manager of recreation and open space expressed concern over the structural integrity of tree if construction plans proceed. The recommendation was to remove the tree. During the December 2018 ordinary meeting of council however, Council deferred a decision until the February 2019 council meeting on the tree and requested more evidence in order to make an informed decision.
look a bit stir crazy. What’s the go? Council responds: The cage is being removed from the Wellington Caves Business early in 2019 to make way for the Visitor Experience Centre. The birds and the cage will be relocated to the Caves Road tourism precinct operating out of the tourism attractions (not operated by Council) along Caves Road. ••• Do you have a question for Dubbo Regional Council?

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figures given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.
Place a number in the empty boxes in such a way that each row across, each column down and each small 9-box square contains all of the numbers from one to nine.

TOUCH
Indigenous National Touch Knockout By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL
TEAMS travelled from near and far for the second National Indigenous Touch Carnival in Dubbo last weekend. It was an excellent follow up to the enormously successful Koori Knockout and although numbers of teams and spectators were significantly below the latter, nevertheless the level of competition was high. Thanks must go to Wellington Aboriginal Community Health Service (WACHS) for a well organised weekend. Hopes are that this carnival will grow in popularity to at least equal the tackle knockout in future years.

“We wuz robbed!” By GEOFF MANN
Norm Bahr is pictured in the water in this photo from the Photo News files.
Walsh’s remembered at Ducks gathering BRIAN Walsh is a name inextricably linked to the Dubbo Diggers swimmers. The always smiling mechanic passed away five years ago. On Sunday, wife and fellow Duck Judy was among friends to reflect on his life, the swimming days and the wonderful support offered Walsh’s in his final years. "The Ducks have been my saviour,” Judy shared.
“Everyone seems to understand. We’ve experienced many losses over the years and there is a sense that all feel your pain. The Ducks keep me smiling.” Judy was the first female member of the Ducks and has been an informative publicity officer for the past few years, supplying info and results each week for Dubbo Photo News. Vale Brian Walsh – never forgotten.
YOU hear this call often in sport. It’s as old as time itself. Sadly, your correspondent found himself uttering the same old cliche on Sunday. Let me set the scene. As honorary journo for the Dubbo Ducks and a long-time early morning swimmer – until roof problems closed the RSL Pool and Dr Pappa hammered steel plates into my left knee earlier this year – I have admired the Dubbo Diggers Swimming Club and its members. I had the privilege of calling the races at the 50th Western Districts AIF Carnival a couple of years ago and another earlier this year, so when the invitation came to join club members for their last swim of 2018 and share table with them for their Christmas party, I could hardly wait for Sunday. I pressed my recently under-utilised Speedos, threw my towel in the back of the car and motored into town. “Don’t disgrace yourself Geoffro, these are vastly experienced and extremely competitive athletes. Breathe, concentrate on your stroke and don’t break your time," I told myself. My time? How long since anyone deigned to run a stopwatch over me at 50 metres? I am happy just to get to the end of the pool on the same day I enter it! The handicappers allocated me a time, taking into account my age, shape and the fact that I hadn’t so much as dipped my toe since “the roof came down”. The gun went off, my number came up, I took a deep breath and dived in. 56.7 seconds later
I touched at the western end. I had broken my allotted time by 0.7 of a second. Or so I thought. A couple of events later I was paired with Norm Bahr for the relay. We touched first in our heat and then the final. High fives, a satisfied smile and then it started... “You’re a Fox, Manny! You’ve just outdone our best who undersell themselves and show up to win the prizes. You’re up there with the best for trying to run behind and try to snaffle a quacker.” All good banter, I thought. Off to party at the club and the presentations. I was grinning from ear to ear when captain Dave Sparkes came to the last award for the day. “In fifth, Judy Walsh and Tony Wall.” Fourth, third, second followed, and then Sparkesy came to the big one. “First in today’s brace relay, 2 x 50 metres freestyle, Norm Bahr and Geoff Mann." I was just about to rise triumphant. My only thought was whether to wave one hand or two, to praise my old CYMS clubmate who had “dug deep” and brought us home. Then the Clanger! “The Foxes have been busted. The veteran and the sneaky rookie have been disqualified!” No ham, no thank-you speech expressing humble gratitude, no screaming headline for moi. First time in and I was tagged for life! No wonder they called their golden jubilee book “Ducks, Chooks and Foxes"! On the last swim of their 59th year I had inadvertently become a part of the title!
HARNESS RACING
Get to the Trots on Boxing Day By GEOFF MANN
DUBBO Harness Club’s Boxing night meeting is shaping up as one of the best. The six race meeting is always popular as families spend time together on the shaded lawns in front of the stand. With the first race at 6.30 it is the perfect way to continue the Christmas spirit. Committeeman Graham Phipps says there is a special treat for race-goers this year. “When we held the Gerard Yeo Memorial Pace in late November, a signed Penrith Panthers guernsey had not arrived. It has now and will be auctioned at the track next Wednesday, so it’s an added oppor-
tunity for punters to add something extra valuable to their Christmas gifts,” Graham said. The Panthers guernsey signed by current skipper Isaiah Yeo will benefit a charity nominated by the Yeo Family. Isaah’s uncle Gerard was one of four western footballs who died in the bombings in Bali in 2002 “We are very grateful for the Panther’s gift and the opportunity for the harness racing community to keep his memory alive. Pat and Keir and the extended Yeo family have been long-time supporters of our club,” Graham said, adding that a real family night is assured, with free entry for all. “Kids have a Jumping
Castle plus Face Painting to help keep them entertained. Come along, bring your visitors, enjoy the trots and all the great food and drinks in the Canteen. “There will of course be full bar and TAB facilities and bookmakers will be trackside on the night.” One topic of conversation is sure to be the Interdominion finals at Melton, Victoria last Saturday night where two well-connected local drivers shared the spoils. Bathurst-born Todd McCarthy drove Tiger Tara to a 12-metre victory in the main race, the 2018 TABcorp Interdominion, and Amanda Turnbull piloted Ellmers Image to a win in the Trotters Consolation Final.

Ella finishes Primary School as Champion
PSSA Coordinator Jemma Hall presents Ella Penman with her medal and trophy. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS.
By GEOFF MANN ST Pius X middle-distance runner Ella Penman had the shock of her life when Jemma Hall from the Primary School Sports Association was introduced to make a special presentation at her school’s awards day. Ella, who this year made her seventh successive NSW Athletics team, was named the Dubbo and District PSSA Sports Champion for 2018. St Pius Deputy Principal and Sports Coordinator, Greg Cant, said it was a just reward for such an incredible runner – and an excellent good sportsperson. “In my time at St Pius X I have never seen a student work so hard in all areas. She has achieved so much, yet is exceedingly humble in regard to her results. To Ella, it is never about winning or records, it is always about bettering herself and doing her personal best time,” Greg said. A situation which truly sums up Ella was at the Diocesan athletics carnival where she won the 800m by nearly 200m. I joked with her at the end of the race, saying she had missed the record by 0.01. Her reaction was, ‘Oh well!’ Ella had actually broken the record by nearly four seconds and her reaction was just the same – ‘Oh well!’ “In the past few years we have had some fine athletes pass through our small school and none more talented than Ella. This year alone in athletics Ella smashed the school, regional and Bathurst Diocese 800m records
and was named Senior Girl Champion at each respective carnival,” Greg continued. Ella also won the 800m running for Polding at the NSW Catholic Schools’ Championships and went within 0.02 seconds of taking the state title. She ran personal bests at each event and her podium finish ensured selection in the NSW team. In the National Finals in Melbourne, Ella was the best placed NSW runner in both the 800m (5th) and 1500m (7th). Again, she bettered her times. In fact, in the 1500m she was a full 12 seconds under her previous best. In Cross Country Ella has excelled, beating the boys and everyone else at St Pius. Once again she took gold at regional and Diocesan before finishing second in the NSW titles at Eastern Creek. Perhaps the crowning glory of Ella’s primary school athletics career came on the Sunshine Coast for the national Cross Country finals when she was selected to be the Blues flag-bearer. The quietly spoken 12-year-old told us it was “an amazing honour and made me very proud”. Ella was the first NSW runner across the line, finishing as sixth fastest in Australia. She backed up with her teammates in the NSW team that claimed silver in the team event. “She currently holds eight school athletics records and has won school and Diocesan Cross Country on each occasion she has competed,” Greg said. Ella Penman – the smiling champion!

CROQUET
Croquet players coming to grips with new surface By GEOFF MANN LAST week we featured the Dubbo Croquet Club and it’s enforced move from its home of 97 years. Ten days on and the ladies and gents are settling into their new home at Muller Park in North Dubbo. After a lifetime of collectables were packed and transported, it was time for the smiling “billiards on the flat” group to establish the old tennis clubhouse as their own! Members are pulling together following the disappointment of leaving “home” and preparations are well underway for the next stage of the journey. “New premises, new playing field and new beginnings” is the keen playing group’s catch-cry. “You are never too old to learn new skills and this synthetic surface will be a challenge for all of us who’ve honed our skills on the Victoria park turf,” President Jenny Brown smiled. Kitted up and ready to go!

RACING
No saddles, no silks and no horses! By GEOFF MANN JOCKEYS, trainers, strappers, stewards and supporters gathered on the lawns at Dubbo Turf Club to reflect on the year. Funds raised from raffles, auctions and donations will be used to assist those in the industry who have been injured or fallen on hard times. The idea was first raised by Nyngan trainer Rodney Robb following the death of well known steward James Perry in the Queensland floods seven years ago. I popped in for a few minutes, just in time to catch former hoop Clint Lundholm and a couple of his trainer colleagues try desperately to tame a wool pack! They were no hope against the oily-skills of the jocks who raced to the finish post, sculled a beer, sausage roll and a banana and then galloped home for a morale-boosting win! Dubbo races again tomorrow, Bathurst on Saturday, then Wellington hosts a packed field on Monday, while the Gilgandra Gold Cup will be run on New Year's Day.
