DUBBO CITY LIFE Comment by TIM PANKHURST MANAGING EDITOR

Going for their “personal best� in the classroom I FOUND newspaper reports this week on how we could improve the way we educate kids intriguing – in particular the idea that each student should be pursuing their own personal best in the classroom, and not necessarily competing against fellow classmates.

This idea is being pitched by the Australian Catholic University which currently has Australia’s highest number of teaching graduates, so it would be fair to take notice of their views.

In its submission to the NSW Curriculum Review, ACU said the only person a student should be compared with is him or herself and their own previous learning, in the same way that an athlete is actively coached to aim for their personal best.

According to The Australian newspaper, ACU suggests an end to traditional forms of assessment which compares a student to age or grade-level expectations, in favour of this new system. “Athletes train together and compete against each other for places, but ultimately work towards improving their PB,� ACU’s submission said, adding that “many of our brightest students do not work to their full potential� under the current system.

It’s a big call and not everyone is agreeing with the ACU view.

If you have thoughts on this, in particular whether or not it would benefit or disadvantage regional and rural students in any way, feel free to get in touch with us. Email is usually best: feedback@ dubbophotonews.com.au

Drinking water donation for Mendooran region The South Dubbo Veterans & Community Men Shed recently approached Midwest Foods & Liquor to help get a pallet of drinking water to Mendooran which, for the ďŹ rst time ever, is on Level 6 water restrictions. Midwest Foods were happy to help, donating a second pallet and getting both sent out on their truck last week. That gesture brought the total donation of water to Mendooran to 3360 bottles.

Joyous cheer for Orana Early Intervention MARGARET and Graham Johnston have been lighting up their Lakeland Drive home with one of Dubbo’s best Christmas displays for about 30 years. Each year they’ve witnessed an increasing number of people travelling from around the region to visit their display.

The Johnstons told Dubbo Photo News that visitors to their latest display shared lots of great local Christmas memories.

Some visitors remembered visiting the display as a child and are now bringing their children and grandchildren to see the home too.

Margaret and Graham continue their Christmas tradition because they enjoy it,

and love giving local families an extra reason to smile. They do put out a collection box so that visitors can voluntarily make a donation, and the Johnstons then pass that money on to Orana Early Intervention.

We’re pleased to report that Margaret and Graham have just donated the proceeds of their 2018 collection – a total of $600 – to Early Intervention.

ATO: Scammers finding new ways to scam THE Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has put out a fresh warning about scammers impersonating the ATO. Assistant Commissioner Karen Foat said scammers have been developing new ways to get taxpayers’ money and personal in-

formation over the summer break. “We are seeing the emergence of a new scam, where scammers are using an ATO number to send fraudulent SMS messages to taxpayers asking them to click on a link and hand over their personal details in order to obtain a refund,� she said.

The ATO says it received many reports in 2018 of scammers maliciously manipulating the calling line identification so the phone number that appears is different to the number from which the call originated.

This is known as “spoofing� and is a common technique used by scammers in an attempt to make their interactions with taxpayers appear legitimate. “This scam is not just targeting your money, but is after your personal information in an attempt to steal your identity,�

Ms Foat said.

If you are unsure about whether a call, text message or email is genuine, don’t reply. Call the ATO on 1800 008 540 to verify.

How low will facebook go?

A REPORT this week by The Times in London said that Facebook is struggling to attract teenagers to its platform – and so is now targetting younger children instead. “Last week, the social media giant ditched a meme app for teens, called LOL, after disappointing trials. Staff working on the project have been moved to Messenger Kids, which is aimed at children as young as six,� The Times reported.

After the launch of that app in late 2017, more than 100 charities and child psychologists wrote an open letter demanding that Facebook delete the app. “Younger children are simply not ready to have social media accounts,� they said.

Where and when will it stop? If they are allowed to continue on this path, the social media giants will soon be giving newborns an account in the same gift bag as the baby shampoo and powder that many new mums are gifted as they leave hospital. feedback@dubbophotonews.com.au

Former state member ‘horrified’ by Nats’ ad

Peter Carolan While his family’s business Whitneys Jewellers celebrates 100 years this week, Peter Carolan reflects on the many hours he also put in at Victoria Park No.1 oval cycle track, where he made a name for himself as a sprinter.

Were you part of the Dubbo Cycle Club?

In those days it was only a professional club, not an amateur club. There was no such thing. We used to ride for money. We weren’t allowed to go to the Olympic Games or anything like that because we were professional.

The amateurs came into it when the Olympic Games were on in Melbourne.

It boosted a lot of interest in the sport.

The Australian League of Wheelman was the professional body. Then, because the kids coming on couldn’t represent at the Olympic Games, they all switched back to amateur.

What kind of prize money were those races offering back then?

There used to be a big racing carnival at Bourke at Easter. I won a big race there the one year and it was £110 for the winner. That was about 20 times your wages.

Were you only racing in the local region?

No. I used to go to Tasmania, Victoria, South Australia. I represented NSW in 1959 in South Australia at the Australian Titles.

There used to be a big carnival at Christmas. We used to go down there every year. They used to start at Davenport, Launceston, right down the east coast, a full carnival for a week. I’d race every second night.

I did the Nyngan-Dubbo 100 cycling classic too.

What were race nights like in the ‘50s and ‘60s at Victoria Park No.1?

The racing was always on a Saturday night in Dubbo. The main race was a five-mile scratch race, (and it was) the last race of the titles contested. (Also on a Saturday night) the pictures would come out from the Monarch Theatre across the road, where the Civic Centre (Dubbo Regional Theatre) is now.

When the pictures would come out, No.1 oval would be packed. There was standing room only, all around it. In those days I guess there was nothing else to do.

Who were the other riders in your day?

There were some good riders. There was Malcolm Kilfoyle, the Gersbach boys from Wellington, they were all good riders. Gus Dawson. He’s a good man. He dedicates a lot of time to the club. Another chap I ran into a few days ago, he’s in his 80s, he was the Australian Champion from Dubbo. Neil

Peadon. He was a road rider. The Horder boys too, they were good.

There’s a lot of history behind that No.1 oval there.

Was it a wood track or bitumen?

When we were riding, the track was dirt; clay. It was river clay and they used to roll it. It was a very fast track. I don’t remember which year they put in the bitumen. It was in my era, but when I first started it was all dirt track

clay. It was faster than bitumen.

They used to have one at Bourke the same. It was made out of white, sort of, gypsum. It was extremely fast.

Gee I had some skin taken off there! I ended up in hospital a few times. The bitumen was worse than the dirt actually. You could feel it burn into you.

FORMER Member for Dubbo, John Mason, has expressed his dismay at the way a fundraising Campaign Dinner for the party’s new candidate has been advertised, describing it as ‘disgraceful’.

Mr Mason, who was the Liberal Member for Dubbo from 1965 to 1981, said he saw the ad in last week’s Dubbo Photo News which read “The community is invited to a Thank-you and Farewell Dinner for Troy Grant” who is retiring as the state member at the March election.

“I think Troy Grant is an outstanding member,” Mr Mason told Dubbo Photo News, describing Mr Grant as a “worthy” representative.

“He hasn’t been there long enough,” he added.

“I’m sorry he’s not standing. If he was standing, I would be supporting him as strongly as I could.

“So when I saw (the ad) saying there was a farewell tribute to him, I thought I’ve got to go to that. I was surprised it was on so quickly and that I hadn’t heard about it.”

Mr Mason contacted the organisers and was told there would be a form he’d need to fill in.

“When I got the form I was absolutely horrified because the form starts off with ‘Campaign Dinner’ and a photo of (Nationals candidate) Dugald Saunders.

“I thought this is misrepresentation. I think this is one of the worst pieces of electoral advertising I’ve ever seen.

“You even have to sign

the form to satisfy the Electoral Funding Act laws that cover donations,” Mr Mason said.

Mr Mason showed Dubbo Photo News the form which is headlined: “You are invited to a campaign dinner with Dugald Saunders... and to pay tribute to the contribution of Hon Troy Grant MP.” Tickets are listed at $75 each, or $500 to sit with either of the official guests.

“It’s just so blatantly a campaign fundraising dinner.

“I think it’s one of the most serious breaches that I’ve ever encountered in advertising politically.”

Mr Mason said the key point for him was that, if he had signed the declaration, he felt it was implying a declaration of loyalty and support to The Nationals.

Dubbo Photo News contacted The Nationals’ Dubbo campaign office for a response to Mr Mason’s concerns however the offer was declined.

In November last year, Mr Mason helped officially open the Dubbo campaign office of Independent candidate Mathew Dickerson.

IN BRIEF

Wellington Pool on track to open in October 2019

Don’t trust Dr Google

By NATALIE HOLMES

IF you thought that Dr Google was your friend, then think again.

Self-diagnosis and buying medicines online is a risky practice, according to research released by NPS MedicineWise, a body that offers professional education and reliable health information to Australian consumers.

“The risk with buying medicines online is your self-diagnosis may be wrong, the medicine you purchase may not be suitable for you, and it might interact with other medicines you may already be taking,” NPS MedicineWise CEO Steve Morris said.

“Many websites selling medicines are legitimate businesses.

However, many others are not legitimate and are selling out-ofdate, poor quality, contaminated or even fake medicines that put your health at risk,” he said.

Dubbo pharmacist Albert Ly agrees, saying that patients could be putting themselves in a dan-

gerous situation unnecessarily.

“They could be misdiagnosed, it could adversely affect their health if they took the wrong medication, they don’t know the reputation of the online retailer, they don’t know the quality of medicine and there could be interaction with other medications that could be detrimental to their health,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

Particularly in the case of longterm or chronic conditions, it is tempting to cut corners and buy online medication.

But Mr Ly said it’s not worth the risk and better to adhere to evidence-based medicine given by a pharmacist or doctor’s prescription.

“There are a lot of gimmicks out there that aren’t recommended by a medical practitioner,” he said.

“Patients should always speak to their health care professional such as a doctor or pharmacist.”

Mr Morris said that if a medicinal option appears too good to be

THE Wellington Memorial Pool will open in October after Dubbo Regional Council made the difficult decision to remove a Claret Ash tree from the premises.

Two independent arborist reports found the tree was impacting on the heritage façade and was diseased.

Chair of the Infrastructure, Community and Recreation Committee Stephen Lawrence said safety was a primary concern.

“This was a tough decision. The tree only has five years more life and keeping it would have meant the Wellington Pool would not be open for part of next summer.

“It would have also come at the cost of the heritage façade, which was also so highly valued by the community,” Cr Lawrence said.

true, it probably is.

“In general, if you are considering taking a new medicine, including a complementary medicine, or buying a prescribed medicine online, see your health professional. They can give you the best advice on your health concerns, and provide a proper diagnosis and suitable treatment if needed,” he said.

The Australian Government’s Therapeutic Goods Administration states that unregulated medicines can have serious risks for

consumers as: z they may be counterfeit and contain no active ingredients z they may contain the wrong amount of an active ingredient and either be too weak to help you or strong enough to harm you z they may be contaminated or adulterated with toxic substances z they may contain undisclosed or dangerous ingredients z they may be past their use by date For more information, visit tga. gov.au

ADVERTISER NEWS

Whitneys Jewellers marks 100 glittering years A CENTURY ago next week, the doors to one of Dubbo’s most established businesses were opened for the very first time by Herbert Samuel Whitney.

Herbert had learned the jewellery trade at Fischer’s (where Church Street Café is located today), the only other jeweller in Dubbo in 1919.

It wasn’t long before Whitney’s Jewellers was known for its quality jewellery, diamond engagement and wedding rings, and crystal and silverware.

All the jewellery was hand crafted on the premises including every aspect of diamond rings, from the claws, the setting and the band.

Handcrafting jewellery in-store has been faithfully maintained by all four generations of the Whitney family ever since.

“Hand-made jewellery is a very important aspect of our business,” retired third-generation jeweller Peter Carolan said.

“Innovations in jewellery-making technology however have taken us to even better efficiencies of custom design and quality manufacturing.”

Peter joined Whitneys Jewellers in 1955, accepting an offer to work there from his uncle, Bob Whitney.

“The year I started was a difficult one for Whitneys, with the big flood hitting

Dubbo on February 25. We had three family houses to clean up as well as the shop,” Peter said.

Mr Carolan was apprenticed to his grandfather, Herbert, and his Uncle Bob who by 1955 had already worked at Whitneys for 25 years.

“Grandfather specialised in hand graving. He would spend hours engraving signatures and so on, with a little pick tool. After 64 years, I’ve retired, but I still help out at the engraving bench,” Peter fondly said.

As consistent as its quality pieces, Whitney’s Jewellers’ location at 149 Talbragar Street has remained unchanged since 1919.

Peter’s daughter, and fourth generation owner, Gina Brown, is taking the business to new heights backed by a wealth of experience and knowledge only 100 years in business can guarantee.

“We are excited to celebrate 100 years and thank all our new and valued customers for their continued support during this time,” Gina said.

“It is thanks to our customers that we have been able to reach this amazing milestone and to thank them, we are having a 100 Anniversary Celebration Sale which is on now until Saturday, February 23,” Gina said.

WARRUMBUNGLE Shire Council will receive $94,000 from the NSW Government for the development of a business case and scoping study to help improve water quality and sewage networks in Mendooran, which for the first time ever is on Level 6 water restrictions.

The project will explore deficiencies in current water treatment plant operations and how drinking water quality can be improved to ensure its safety right to the customer’s tap.

“Automation improvements, monitoring and instrumentation upgrade will mean Council has better oversight of water quality now and into the future,” minister for regional water Niall Blair said.

Dementia tours at the Cultural Centre

Burrabadine Christian Community School board member Peter Volkofsky and new principal Kylie Bull are looking forward to its new direction.

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/KEN SMITH

By NATALIE HOLMES

IT’S just after three o’clock on a Tuesday afternoon and students have started to filter from the classrooms at the small Burrabadine Christian Community School.

Rather than the usual noise and chaos that accompanies this occasion at most larger schools, the air is filled with friendly chatter as the children head towards parents awaiting their collection.

Some of the students actually live in the same complex as the school, which is located 10km west of Dubbo on the Bunglegumbie Rd. It’s a beautiful lifestyle with a swimming pool and vegetable garden in the grounds and horses grazing in the surrounding paddocks. There’s a covered playground and grassy play area for the students.

The property has been owned by the Cornerstone community since 1993 but there has been a transition in recent months with the school becoming an independent entity.

Peter Volkofsky, who is on the board of both organisations, ex-

plains that the land is still owned

by Cornerstone but the school is now run separately.

“Cornerstone is leasing the property in order to focus on other aspects,” he explained, adding that the organisation is aiming to ‘simplify what it does’.

“It’s always been centred around the Christian community but it didn’t have the simplicity it did when it started out,” he explained.

Mr Volkofsky said the values and philosophy of the school haven’t changed with the transition.

It is still a Christian environment and the way of life remains the same.

“A goal of Cornerstone was to become more flexible. Offloading the campus and properties and businesses will take the pressure off the leadership.”

While the Burrabadine School wasn’t Cornerstone’s core business, they didn’t want to close it down.

Fortunately, a Dubbo teaching couple came to the rescue.

“It was very fortunate that Kylie and Jonathan Bull appeared on the horizon,” Mr Volkofsky told

Dubbo Photo News.

“It wasn’t going to work otherwise.”

Mrs Bull previously worked at Dubbo Christian School and took over the reins as principal at Burrabadine at the beginning of the year. Her husband Jonathan is the school’s new deputy principal.

“We heard the school was going to close and they needed someone that would take over,” she explained.

The school caters for Kindergarten to Year 6 and currently has an enrolment of 30 children.

“There are 10 families here and some from town,” Mrs Bull said.

There’s a multi-purpose room for art and technology, along with classrooms for K-2 and Years 3-6.

While it’s been full steam ahead with the transition, Mrs Bull has lots of plans for the year ahead.

“We are now offering Mandarin and Music,” she said. “Every student at the moment is playing an instrument.

“We are also including technology on the curriculum. Along with literacy and numeracy, that’s important to us.”

Weekly swimming lessons are

also included in the students’ education.

“It’s important that students are offered a range of things,” she said.

“And that we can offer them an affordable private Christian education. We are willing to work with parents to offer the best opportunity for students to learn in all areas of their lives.”

As a mother of four children, Mrs Bull said teaching at Burrabadine feels like being part of an extended family.

“The school has a really nice feel about it. It does feel like a big family. All the students have included my children in everything.”

Describing it as an ‘unknown gem’, Mrs Bull believes that many people in Dubbo would be unaware of its appeal.

“It’s a lovely little school, I think a lot of people don’t know that. The strength of the school is in the community aspect of it.

“It was worth fighting for.”

For enrolments or more information, visit Burrabadine Christian Community School’s Facebook page.

FOR the fifth year, the WPCC is working with Dementia Australia officers in Dubbo to plan and implement monthly tours for those living with dementia and their carers.

The tours help to stimulate memories and begin conversations in a safe and supportive environment, and provide important social connections for those involved.

The tours focus on the collections of the WPCC but also take in touring and temporary shows throughout the year.

The tours are coordinated by WPCC education officer Phil Aitken and are implemented by volunteer guides Sally Forsstrom and Colleen Whiteley.

Both Sally and Colleen have worked with and received training from Dementia Australia and are excellent facilitators of this important art and health programme.

MATURE AGED STUDENT

New nursing career begins

By NATALIE HOLMES

Sally Cullenward believes being a mature aged student helped. “I knew I had three years to do my degree so I had to remain very focused and prioritised my life, put a lot of things on hold and went without to achieve my goal.”

NURSING graduate Sally Cullenward is living proof that it’s never too late to change your career.

As a single mother and mature aged student, Ms Cullenward quit her fulltime job in Local Government in order to undertake a Bachelor of Nursing at Charles Sturt University (CSU).

“I have wanted to do this for a very long time,” she said of her decision.

“As a single mother I waited until both my children had either left school or were in their final year before commencing study.”

With her choice of degree unavailable to study externally at the time, Ms Cullenward took on four subjects each semester along with paid employment to support herself while she studied.

“I worked three jobs casually which generally equated to full time work, plus studied a full load.

“First year nursing at that point had to be internal, distance education was not offered – this has now changed,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

Ms Cullenward says that flexible employment and supportive university staff helped her get through her studies.

“My life pretty much consisted of working the majority of the day then going home having a quick dinner then hitting the books and writing assessments until early hours of the morning.

“I was very fortunate that one place of employment was very flexible with me, allowing me to leave work to attend pracs and tutorials.

“I also found the subject coordinators and lecturers to be very supportive as often they were from other campuses.”

A major challenge during this time was making ends meet financially, particularly when undertaking the practical side of her degree.

“Often we were sent to other hospitals in other towns where you would have to find and pay for accommodation,” Ms Cullenward explained.

“This became more so in the last two years of my degree with pracs often being for five weeks, which means five weeks without any income.”

Ms Cullenward’s determination as a mature age student probably helped to pave the way to success, although she initially had to ease her way back into academic writing after a long absence from study.

“I think being a mature aged student helped, I knew I had three years to do my degree so I had to remain very focused and prioritised my life, put a lot of things on hold and went without to achieve my goal.”

Overall, Ms Cullenward said that CSU had provided a good study environment to achieve her goals.

“I found CSU to be a great institution, I cannot fault Dubbo Campus or the

staff employed there. It is a great choice being so small which makes it more personal and easier to catch up with your lecturers should you need to. Of course, there could be improvements and sometimes I found there to be a little bit of inconsistency amongst markers and their expectations.”

Ms Cullenward now has plenty of employment options available and says that nursing opens up a world of opportunity.

“My employment options are so extensive now and can take me anywhere I want to go.

“For the moment I am staying in Dubbo, commencing my career at the Base (Dubbo Hospital) on February 18 as part of the Transition to Practice New Graduate Program.”

She is also excited about getting started in her new career.

“I wanted to work in this area as I find it a privilege to care for people and their families when they are often at their most vulnerable.

“I am little bit terrified but excited at the same time, I’m going to have people’s lives in my hands.

“Uni and text books teach you the basics, but the real learning comes from hands-on experience.

“Every day, there will be new challenging patients and you will see things that you haven’t seen before. It is a career where you never stop learning!”

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

Long career in a constantly changing industry

By JOHN RYAN

COL Towers started work at Fletcher International in Dubbo in January 1989, just one month after it opened, but he was already a 10-year veteran on the knives before he began his 30-year stint at the Dubbo plant.

“I left school at 15 (Dubbo High) and started in the old council abattoirs here in Dubbo, learnt the trade there and in the early days we just moved around a lot because the job wasn’t consistent for 12 months,” Mr Towers said.

“You might have done six months and you went somewhere else to a different shed. You just worked around a lot, anything from Mudgee, Forbes, Blayney – I went up to Katherine (Northern Territory) for a season, it was awesome. It was good to travel and if you had a bit of skill with a knife you could always get a job (at) any town with an abattoirs. As a young bloke the Territory was a bit of an adventure – I met some good people, some characters.

“But the work wasn’t continuous, not like it is now. You might have done six or seven months then you might have had a couple of months off, might have done a bit of labouring or concreting or whatever, then you’d come back

into it, so it was a bit seasonal,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

Mr Towers said he was glad to get that Mudgee work over the years but that it was tough having to drive early to get there, work all day, then jump back in the car only to have to do it all again the next day.

But it was during one of his Mudgee stints that he met the Fletcher family.

“I’d worked for Mr Fletcher in the Mudgee boning rooms he leased over there before he built Dubbo, and I thought he’s a stayer.

Once you’d worked for him for a little while you knew he was here for the long haul,” Mr Towers said.

His career has progressed, starting out as a boner in the Dubbo plant then progressing through supervisory roles and Mr Towers is now the plant production manager.

He’s no longer on the knives but said he’s busier than ever, just in a different role.

He said the culture of internal workplace training at Fletchers is amazing and said he enjoys mentoring younger generations moving up.

“I pretty well overlook the boning rooms and the load-out side of it, so just basically make sure all the orders get done and make

Col Towers believes one of the reasons for the long-term success of Fletcher’s Dubbo operation is the whole team’s willingness to adapt to change and test new ideas with staff at all levels.

sure everything gets filled and the work gets done,” Mr Towers said.

“Someone asked me the other day if, after being at Fletchers for 30 years, doesn’t it get boring – but no way in the world, it’s a new challenge every day, it just keeps you thinking all the time.”

He said the only constant at the plant is that everything’s constantly changing.

“Everything’s always changing

with the new orders we get so it’s even a challenge for me to come up with solutions to get a certain product out there by a certain time – the market’s just changing all the time,” Mr Towers said.

“You’ve got to be adaptable to survive and every time the sales guys come up with a different type of pitch, a different product, we’ve just got to get up there and make it happen,” pointing out that

the sales staff, who all graduated from the floor, understand what can and can’t be done when designing new products.

“It’s really important because they know the reality and know how it’s got to be done, they’re in touch with the floor. They’re not just selling it, they’re up there with us and helping us develop new cuts and new orders,” Mr Towers said.

“You’re a mug if you don’t go and ask the bloke doing the job how to make it better, because he’s the bloke doing it every day.

He’s seen abattoirs shut down all across Australia and says it’s a testament to the Fletcher family that they’ve been able to adapt so many times and thrive in such a tough industry, where many competitor nations have very low wages and overheads compared to Australia.

“It’s amazing when you think about it, we’ve been through some big droughts and come out the other end and going strong, it’s really good and it’s because the guy who owns it is on the floor every day.

That’s basically how it works, he’s got his hands right on the pulse,” Mr Towers said.

“I’m here to stay, this is my last meatworks, I enjoy working here, it’s good, it’s a pleasure.”

Using upcycling to upskill

By JOHN RYAN MATT Rendell wants to upskill people and create a fairer and more balanced society, and believes teaching people how to create beautiful things from garbage is a good place to start.

His passion is upcycling.

“Upcycling is the art of taking goods that have been used for another purpose and reusing/reclaiming to create something else out of them, it’s different to recycling,” Mr Rendell said.

“I love it, I’ve been doing it for 21 years and the older I get the more I love doing it – I’m a bit of a greenie at heart, a bit of an environmentalist, and a lot of the pieces that I build – up to 90 per cent of them, sometimes 100 per cent – are all waste product that would have been thrown to the tip, so it’s been reused or repurposed for furniture.

“I get all sorts of reactions to my pieces, rarely negative, mostly I get that ‘Wow’. People are just blown away.

“On the geometric pieces they see all these old timbers that have been bookmatched and shaped and utilised – it’s warm, it’s attractive,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

Mr Rendell says his programs to upskill people can be used as

drivers for job creation, a stepping stone he believes leads to a fairer and more equitable society.

“In 2017/2018 I ran several Work for the Dole programs in Narromine and we upcycled a café, we set up an upcycling workhub, and I was teaching people how to re-use and upcycle old timber frames and pallets and make them into furniture and other things,” Mr Rendell said.

“The participants loved it – it was incredible how, when they learnt how to upcycle, how to take the waste and turn it into something of value, it positively impacted them personally. So I think for a lot of people it reminds them of their own story.”

He says an immense social good could appear if these programs were properly resourced and continually funded so it wasn’t the stop-start and uncertainty of Work for the Dole.

“I think this sort of program, the waste-to-art sort of thinking, is a really good idea because each piece of furniture that I make, I try to make sure I include the back-story of where the pieces came from and particularly what’s called the patina, the ‘wared’ condition that it comes in. Ironically that becomes the beauty,” Mr Rendell said.

OPPORTUNITY OF THE WEEK

“When people repurpose things... as they work on it they reflect within and realise that they’re actually a little bit of the story as well. So the pieces that are built are reflections of the people that build them, and it’s always positive.”

He believes our current wasteful western society is disconnected, not making it easy for people to embrace the simpler things in life.

“When you have a society that’s very much selfish and materialistically-focused, it’ll be individualistic, but when you have a society that’s generous and more community-focused, you’re always looking after each other and it’s all about give rather than take. It’s an attitude issue and I think ultimately it’s a heart issue,” Mr Rendell said.

“To try and keep up with the Joneses is the worst possible thing a person can ever do. In all the mentoring and coaching and development I’ve done, (what works best is) creating those safe places where people will feel confident to explore possibilities.”

He said he’s seen first-hand the value people can get from creating valuable things from what society regards as junk.

“At Narromine I had four ladies

who, when they finished their Work for the Dole, entered into nine months of volunteering, two days a week, because of how much the upcycling project changed their lives – and two of them ended up getting employment out of it. That’s how much impact it had because in their story they took something that was regarded as waste and made it into something valuable – life imitating art,” Mr Rendell said, saying that just having people apply for jobs to tick a bureaucratic box is insane.

Instead, he believes, it should be all about assisting people to understand that they are worthwhile and that they can contribute.

“Everybody’s got their place

in the tribe and everybody’s got their part to contribute and I think what happens is that we don’t take the time to always listen to somebody’s story; and particularly if someone’s not a high performer, well they don’t get a look-in,” Mr Rendell said.

“Some of the people who’ve inspired me the most are people who the world may not consider to be productive value-givers, but actually when you look behind the scenes they’re amazing, they just might not do it the way high-level business and high-level incomes would expect.”

WHAT KIDS SAY

A skinny girl’s sad tale told

By NATALIE HOLMES STEVE Matthews’ foray into writing is so engaging that it’s a tale that tells itself.

As a former banker from the United Kingdom, Mr Matthews emigrated to Australia in 1985. It was a trip back to his homeland to visit his ailing father that triggered his story writing.

“I’ve always been a bit of a storyteller,” he told Dubbo Photo News. “Most parents are.

“I used to read my kids books at bedtime and embellish them and the kids would often prefer my version to the book.”

The fact that he was on the other side of the world prompted Mr Matthews to write down the stories he had previously been telling his children in person.

Those stories were eventually turned into books and successfully published in Australia and the USA – represent-

The dinosaurs, no they made me sad. Peekaboo with Mummy If you could change your name what would it be? Ezzy calls me Lega and Mummy calls me Princess What are you really good at? Hopscotch Do you have any jokes to tell me? No. What is your favourite thing to eat for lunch?

ing Mr Matthews’ first venture into the literary world.

He quickly became an established children’s writer and his books are now also sold in the UK and Canada. Mr Matthews’ work with children’s literacy has also been acknowledged in State Parliament.

Mr Matthews said children’s literature has evolved from the days of Spot the Dog. “Children’s literature is better than it used to be,” he adds, saying that his books are aimed at the ‘reluctant reader’.

` I cried heaps when I read it. It was really sad. I couldn’t believe how lonely this woman could be. She was the loneliest person on earth. It wasn’t just domestic violence... a

His latest book though iss completely different and ‘Thee Skinny Girl’ is based on a truee story. It is also his first adult work.

“My wife Diane knew (of its potential) and said ‘you’ve got to write this’,” Mr Matthews explains.

“It was just something that had to be done.”

The Skinny Girl tells the story of Daisy Croucher and her marriage to Jeff Singleton.

Her longing for love and acceptance are at the core of the book while domestic violence features as a key theme.

The book started with Mr Matthews reading the real-life Daisy’s diary.

“Daisy’s story is harrowing and very realistic and came to me as a result of someone that my wife Diane and I love dearly, telling Diane she was in a very abusive relationship. She gave Diane her diaries to read and, with her permission, I wrote the story of The Skinny Girl.”

The story had a profound effect on the author.

“I cried heaps when I read it. It was really sad. I couldn’t believe how lonely this woman could be. She was the loneliest person on earth. It wasn’t just domestic violence. It was domestic abuse, isolation, spiritual, emotional, sexual, financial and psychological abuse.”

Through promotion of the book, Mr Matthews has discovered many people affected by its pages.

“Most people reading this have been involved in domestic violence or they know someone who has.

“People often open their heart to us and tell us their personal lives. They realise they are not alone.

“We have spoken to a lot of people who’d been in abusive marriages. Nothing shocks us

“What I hope they get from it is to see Daisy and become empowered and inspired by it.”

The book took six years to write and Mr Matthews is giving all sale proceeds to worthy organisations.

“This particular title is not a commercial venture for me, and I have agreed to donate 100 per cent of my earnings from The Skinny Girl, in perpetuity, as follows: 50 per cent to the Homicide Victims Support group

and the balance to small local charities around Australia.”

Locally, that will be Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre and Catholic Care at Narromine.

STUDENT EXCHANGE

$2500 reward for dobbing in a vandal

Council looking for students to represent city in Minokamo

FOLLOWING vandalism done to Wahroonga Park infrastructure and the Skate Park shade last week, Dubbo Regional Mayor Ben Shields has spoken publicly to remind the community that Dubbo Regional Council offers a reward of up to $2500 for information leading to the conviction of any person who has committed wilful vandalism or theft of Council property.

The total cost of vandalism to Council in 201617 was $81,197.88, while in 2017-18 it rose slightly to $86,998.49.

“There is a lot Council would have been able to do with that $160,000, but unfortunately instead it had to be spent replacing shade sails, fixing signs and play equipment, and removing graffiti,” Cr Shields said.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Former MP finds the right work-life balance

By JOHN RYAN WITH state and federal elections due in the next few months, former Member for Parkes Tony Lawler is glad to be out of that game.

He said he’s found a balance between spending some time up on the coast and working part-time at the West Dubbo chemist shop he established some years ago.

“I live in a little village on the central coast which is really nice, but we still operate the pharmacies in Delroy and Narromine and Trangie, and I come back and forth when someone needs a day off,” Mr Lawler told Dubbo Photo News.

He said it’s great he can enjoy a coastal lifestyle without losing the connection to family and friends out west.

“Oh mate, it’s the best of both worlds, I’ve always loved being in Dubbo and it’s fantastic coming back. When I’m in the shop some of the girls say I don’t really pull my weight because I’m always standing around talking to people, but that’s sort of the enjoyable part of it.

“But to keep my hand in, checking the pharmacies and being part of the community, I couldn’t have it any better,” he said.

Tony Lawler was the federal Member for Parkes for three years from October 1998 to October 2001. The Lawler name has been synonymous with local pharmacies for generations. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Wellington man suffers gun shot wound LOCAL police are investigating an incident in Wellington in the early hours of Tuesday morning where a 37-year-old man suffered a gun shot wound. No arrests had been made at time of going to press, however police have assured the general public that they don’t believe the community is at risk.

Police said the man was inside a house in Gobolion Street, Wellington at about 3.30am when four men forced their way in, armed with shotguns and a machete. The 37-year-old occupant was allegedly assaulted and struck with the machete, before being shot in the groin.

He was treated by NSW Ambulance paramedics, before being taken to Orange Base Hospital, where he underwent surgery, and is now in a stable condition.

Inspector Dan Skelly from Orana Mid Western Police District said detectives from Dubbo have commenced an investigation into the matter and have collected forensic evidence from the scene.

“Police wish to advise that, despite having not made an arrest yet, police do not believe the community is at risk and are appealing to anyone that may have any information that will assist the investigation, to call Dubbo Detectives on 6883 1599, or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Anyone wishing to supply information can remain anonymous,” Inspector Skelly said.

Major emergency response as cars burn THERE were plenty of spectators on Sunday at about midnight as emergency crews tackled a major fire.

At about 11.30pm, Dubbo’s firetrucks raced to the massive blaze between White Street and the railway line where a pile of wrecked cars at an auto dismantling business were engulfed in flames.

Three trucks from Dubbo 280 station, two from Delroy 284 and seven Rural Fire Service trucks worked to contain and extinguish the fire, and police and ambulance were also in attendance.

This was a great show of cooperation between NSW Fire and Rescue and the bushies.

Well done to the volunteers from Terramungamine, Eulomogo, Boothenba and the other brigades who turned out to help.

It took hours just to bring the fire under control.

It was a pretty heroic effort, there were all sorts of secondary explosions going off, but the firies were able to prevent the fire from spreading to nearby buildings.

Investigations into the blaze are ongoing so if anyone has any information about this fire, please contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000

Then on February 4 Craig’s wife Lou died suddenly.

The crew at Eumungerie RFS joined the brigades posting pictures in support.

“Please help share and support our fellow firefighter brother Craig Warwick in his time of need

by posting a short video of support or picture in RFS uniform at your local fire shed with helmet under left arm closest to the heart, along with right hand over your heart,” the post began.

“Thank you ALL so much for helping and showing your sup-

Narromine arrest NARROMINE has also been hit with a fair bit of crime lately and there’s been plenty of arrests to go with it.

One of the most recent saw TAG officers in partnership with the Region Enforcement Squad arrest a man for six outstanding arrest warrants.

Further investigations linked the man to a number of Break and Enters and stealing offences at Narromine and Trangie businesses over the past three months.

The man was charged with multiple offences including possession of housebreaking implements, aggravated break, enter and commit serious indictable offence, goods in custody suspected of being stolen or unlawfully obtained, possess ammunition without permit, and a number of other matters.

Statewide tribute for Craig Warwick I’VE attended countless fires being fought by the Rural Fire Service (RFS) over the years and one constant you could almost count on was that you’d see Craig Warwick on the fire ground.

Now that devotion to the RFS is seeing plenty of karma coming his way to support him when he’s been hit so hard in recent times.

Brigades from across the state and beyond are posting pictures sending their regards to their fellow RFS stalwart.

Craig lost his son Alex suddenly at just 17 years of age back in 2013; Alex was also a volunteer firie following in his dad’s footsteps.

BACK to Wellington crime and it’s great to see the police officer who was injured during a foot pursuit is recovering.

Late last week officers attached to Orana’s Target Action Group (TAG) stopped a vehicle on Maughan Street, believing it contained a person wanted on arrest warrants.

Upon stopping, officers noticed a 33-year-old man run from the vehicle, then jump the fence of a residential premises at that location.

A constable gave chase and, while in pursuit of the man, fell from a backyard fence landing heavily on his side, suffering a punctured lung and broken ribs.

He was treated at the scene before being taken to Dubbo Base Hospital.

An intensive manhunt found the alleged runner in another Maughan Street location. He was arrested and taken to Wellington Police Station and charged with three outstanding arrest warrants, hindering police in the execution of their duty, along with possession of drugs, housebreaking implements and trespass.

TITAN MACQUARIE MUD RUN

On for young and... older

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

WHAT’S that saying? You’re as young as you feel?

Just ask 59-year-old Dubbo transport driver and ex-farmer, John Fisher, who’s putting up his hand for a fourth time to enter the Titan Macquarie Mud Run on Saturday, March 23.

Looking a tiny bit silver around the edges, Dubbo Photo News was curious about the extent of Mr Fisher’s preparation for the physical challenges (thankfully optional), as an example to other young-at-hearters thinking of joining the city’s muddiest activity.

He has a surprisingly minimalist approach.

Dubbo Photo News: “Mr Fisher, would you share with us secrets about how you stay in such good physical shape and are preparing for the Mud Run challenge?

Mr Fisher, long pause to think: “Not much.”

Dubbo Photo News: “Would that be... not much... exercise?”

Mr Fisher: “Well... I think about it.”

Dubbo Photo News: “Yes, the power of the mind should never be underestimated, but do you find that helps?”

Mr Fisher: “Absolutely! It gets my psyched right up.”

With nothing to prove and a determination to have a cracking good time, Mr Fisher said he loves the event so much he tries to get everyone involved.

In fact he interrupted our telephone interview to attempt to recruit a Coonabarabran man who had hinted at the possibility of a basketball team from that

STATE ELECTION ISSUE

Community transport ‘must be a priority’ AFFORDABLE transport solutions for people who experience poverty or disadvantage, particularly in regional and rural areas, is being raised as a state election issue by peak social services body, NSW Council of Social Services (NCOSS).

“Reducing transport disadvantage across NSW must be a priority of the next NSW Government,” NCOSS CEO Joanna Quilty said.

“For many people, community transport is a vital service which enables them to access medical treatment, undertake daily tasks and participate in local activities.”

Adding to provider woes is the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which has “so far failed to adequately account for participants’ transport costs”, Ms Quilty said.

IT’S A RECORD! town entering (likely, as a joke).

It wasn’t a good line but it did sound like the man in question negotiated with Mr Fisher by saying, ‘no way’, but he could just as easily have said: “Of course John, everyone should do the Mud Run at least once in their

lives. If you can do it, anyone can.

“It is good fun,” Mr Fisher said, who last year completed the 10-kilometre course dressed as one of the Bananas in Pyjamas.

He was B2 but with a Mud Run twist, so he was called “PB2” (which apparently

stood for “Poor B*&tard 2”).

“Yes, you get dirty but it’s a great community event,” Mr Fisher said. “The money’s going to local charities too and that’s always a good thing.”

In 2019 Mr Fisher is joining The Young Ones team and definitely requires more dress ups.

COMMUNITY CARE

IN BRIEF

Auxiliary rugs up for the homeless

Night soccer to come to Dubbo and Wellington

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

ALMOST eight months ago, the Dubbo RSL Auxiliary put a call out to the community asking for wool donations.

This week, they contacted Dubbo Photo News to let us know the wool has been turned into rugs ready to donate to the homeless, and which will be distributed by the Salvation Army. “We’ve never done anything like this before. We just couldn’t believe there were so many homeless people in Dubbo, so we’ve knitted 18 rugs and there’s still a few more on the go,� Dubbo RSL Auxiliary president Yvonne Porch said.

Some of the RSL bingo players also got knitting on the project, making dozens of 20-by-20-centimetre squares. “All of the rugs will fit the top of a queen-sized bed,� Mrs Porch said. “They’re not just little knee rugs. There are some lovely rugs amongst them and some of them are crocheted.

One gentleman crocheted the edges on a couple of the rugs. “We really want to thank people for their very kind donations of wool and show them the project was finished. We also want to thank the bingo players too for their contribution to making the rugs,� she said.

The Salvation Army will distribute the rugs to those in need in the region.

NIGHT soccer will soon become a regular sight under lights at Pioneer Dubbo Sports Park and Pioneer Park in Wellington.

Two lighting projects are being completed in coming days using an energy-efficient 200lux LED system for the first time in sporting facilities within the Dubbo Region. “The cost to run the new sports lights is roughly a third of the cost of the current systems around the region,� Dubbo Regional Council’s Sporting Asset Coordinator Wes Giddings said.

Local soccer associations will be able to train and play night games, boosting the sport in the region.

Salvation Army Saver Plus program Parents are being invited to ďŹ nd out more about this program which aims to help build longterm, consistent savings habits.

Beautiful career in the making for Leah

Priceline assistant manager Leah Bowkett, 20, immigrated to Australia when was 12 years-old, after her step-father landed a job at Taronga Western Plains Zoo working with the elephants. “I lived in Bedfordshire which is about 40 minutes RXW RI /RQGRQ +H ZRUNHG DW DQ DIˋOLDWH ]RR WKHUH and had worked for Dubbo Zoo prior to us moving here, around 20 years ago,� she said.

“I do get to go sometimes, we’re lucky in that way; and they’ve got the new baby elephant so it’s been nice to see how fast they grow. “I could never follow in my step-father’s footsteps though‌ I don’t think I could handle the smell,â€?

Leah joked.

Within a week of arriving in Dubbo, Leah was off to high school, and until their entire household arrived by ship, she and her family virtually lived out of their suitcases.

As assistant manager Leah is learning more of the business side of Priceline, but still enjoys working with makeup and helping her customers, which she’s right at home doing.

And speaking of home, is it Dubbo or Bedfordshire? “This is home now. I love Australia,� she said.

IN BRIEF

Primary school sustainability program launches around the west A SERIES of sustainability education workshops targeting primary school children has been initiated by Dubbo Regional, Narromine Shire and Mid-Western Regional councils.

Registration is open now, with delivery of the 2019 workshops to commence during Term 2.

The program is part of an ongoing collaboration between the three councils which began last year with the regional introduction of a new food and garden waste bin.

“The interactive workshops educate students on how they can reduce the impacts of waste on our local environment and provide kids with practical tips they can use at home,” Dubbo Regional Council Solid Waste manager Mark Giebel said.

MANY blokes are looking to relive their youth, and Leslie O’Brien has put plenty of effort into doing just that. But restoring his HK Holden hasn’t been an isolated or selfish hobby.

When he goes for a cruise around the streets these days it’s with the whole family – his wife Julie and daughters Elsie and Eleanor all love the HK. There’s plenty of other family history involved in this particular car, too.

“It was my dad’s, he gave it to me in about 1991 and I learnt how to drive in it around the paddock, (with its) three on the tree gears, banjo diff, and drum brakes,” Mr O’Brien told Dubbo Photo News.

“It’s got a 186 in it now.

“It sat out in the paddock halfway to Narromine since the year 2000, then I dragged it into town three years ago and restored it,” he said.

Like many who’ve become part of the city’s burgeoning restoration movement, Mr O’Brien doesn’t like missing a Cars and Coffee event and said rolling up in this Australian classic really does take him back in time.

“If I sit in the front I’m 14 again and if I sit in the back I’m eight years old,” he said.

Dubbo’s Cars and Coffee returned for 2019 recently after a summer break. Next, it will be partnering with the Westview Drive-In Dubbo to screen the all-time classic car movie “American Graffiti” on Saturday, March 2.

Tickets for the Drive-In are on sale now from 123tix.com.au.

Cars and Coffee is hoping the venue will be packed with pre-1985 Classic, Custom, Street machine or Hot Rod vehicles, and the regular Cars and Coffee will be staged the following Sunday morning at Victoria Park.

Two giraffe calves born at Dubbo Zoo

Dubbo mental health services get funding boost

By DARCEE NIXON TARONGA Western Plains Zoo Dubbo has recently welcomed two giraffe calves. Male calf ‘Akachi’, meaning ‘hand of god’ in West African language, was born to mother ‘Tuli’ on Wednesday, January 16. A female calf ‘Volta’, named after an African lake, was born to mother ‘Asmara’ on Monday, January 28. Both calves were sired by giraffe bull ‘Unami’. “(Akachi) is the smallest calf we have ever had – probably because his mum is so old. This will probably be her last calf,” Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo Ungulate Keeper Nick Bourke said.

“Generally, we have zebras running out here in the exhibit as well, but we have just given the giraffe calves a bit of space to find their legs – the zebras always test out newbies,” he said.

The best time of day to see the calves is in the morning, when they are most active.

Taronga Western Plains Zoo’s giraffe herd now comprises 14 individuals across four generations, making it one of the largest herds in the Australasian region. In addition, another four male giraffes are out on the African Savannah exhibit – they are known as the ‘bachelor group’.

“Most giraffe herds in the wild are found throughout south-east Africa, as well as populations in central and north Africa. A lot of populations don’t cross-breed because they don’t meet up. Many

THE Western NSW PHN is expected to receive more than $42 million over a three-year period to meet the specific mental health needs in our western region, Dubbo-based federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton (pictured) said.

Hunter New England and Central Coast PHN, which includes Parkes electorate towns such as Gunnedah, Moree and Narrabri, is expected to receive more than $76 million over the same period.

The funding will support services such as headspace centres, psychological services for hard-toreach groups, suicide prevention activities, mental health nurses and mental health support for older Australians.

people don’t realise that there are quite a few different species of giraffe,” Mr Bourke said.

The global giraffe population has fallen by up to 40 per cent in the last 30 years due to loss

of habitat and poaching for bush meat. It’s estimated there are only 80,000 remaining in the world.

On a positive note, three giraffe calves were born at Taronga Western Plains Zoo Dubbo last

year, and the zoo is also expecting another giraffe birth within the next month. Akachi, Volta and their mothers are all in good health, thanks to the sanctuary of the zoo.

Local expert: ‘Big banks have thrown mortgage brokers under the bus’

By JOHN RYAN

LONG-TIME Dubbo mortgage broker Daryl Coxon is furious that the Royal Commission into banking, which highlighted so many wrongdoings, was turned on its head at the last minute to make out the nation’s mortgage brokers are the bad guys.

He said less than one per cent of the claims of misconduct investigated by the Royal Commission (RC) involved brokers, yet his industry stands to be regulated out of existence while bank share prices rose.

“It is baffling that if the RC recommendations were carried out that the banks would seem to benefit from an inquiry that was called to investigate their misconduct,” Mr Coxon said.

“Somehow, the big banks managed to turn attention away from their own misconduct by throwing brokers under the bus!

“In my opinion, some of the evidence provided by the banks was intentionally misleading, or at best shows that they in fact have little understanding of the actual role played by Mortgage Brokers and the extent of the service that we provide to our clients,” he said.

Mr Coxon believes the recommendations of the RC would lead to a possible legislation change that threatens the mortgage broking industry, which could see all Australians having less access to smaller lenders and even less access to credit.

There is currently no additional cost to borrowers of using a broker.

“A significant recommendation is that, rather than the banks paying mortgage brokers, borrowers pay brokers a direct fee for their services,” Mr Coxon said.

“Not surprisingly we see that this would only favour the banks and would lead to customers deserting brokers, cutting access to smaller lenders and driving customers into the branches of the Big 4 banks.

“As competition and choice declines, bank power and

Mr Coxon said he was so devastated by the Royal Commission’s attack on brokers that he was inspired to pen a satirical piece to give his colleagues a laugh.

It’s since taken off amongst the broking industry and is now getting wider acclaim, his idea to compare the banking dramas to the dairy industry making a huge impact. (See the sidebar to this story for part of Mr Croxon’s opinion piece.)

“It is amusing to me that tthe banks expect that askiing the Aussie public to pay ffor broker services, that unttil now have been paid for b by the banks, could in any w way, shape or form be conssidered in the customer’s b best interest,” Mr Coxon ssaid.

**BREAKING NEWS**: Commissioner releases his findings from the Royal Commission into the price of milk at major supermarkets. “Cows are obviously the issue and can’t be trusted,” the Commissioner concluded.

“I agree with the big supermarkets that clearly the best client outcome is for customers to get up at 5am to milk the cows and bring the milk to the supermarkets themselves.”

He further criticised the current structure of supermarkets paying conflicted remuneration to greedy farmers which adds to the cost of milk.

The Commissioner stated that “it is my expert opinion that farmers do nothing more than watch the cows eat grass and this is confirmed in the thorough and unbiased research provided by both Coles and Woolworths”.

The Commissioner further recommended that by concentrating on only milking four cows that competition would be guaranteed and that smaller supermarkets could easily survive and provide competition by focusing on the sale of almond milk.

Milk prices are predicted to rise in July 2020 as a result of increased supermarket costs to offset the large bonuses paid to senior management following the removal of payments to farmers.

“It’s a positive outcome for consumers and the Government should act on all recommendations immediately,” said one supermarket CEO. Woolworths and Coles shares closed 6 per cent higher with nothing suspicious noted by many highly qualified media commentators.

“I don’t drink milk but I sat next to someone in first class that visited an olive farm as a kid so I know what I’m talking about,” said one Sydney newspaper economist who agreed with the RC findings.

Our Valentine’s Day gift to you:

A story of everlasting love

EVERY SINGLE DAY ❚ OPINION

BY KIM MACRAE

Idealise

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY FEBRUARY 14 is long connected with a celebration of all things romance, but when a real love story unfolds it’s grounded less in greeting cards and gifts and more in milestones, like a 70th wedding anniversary.

On Tuesday, February 5, this year, John Smith, 97, and his bride, Violet, marked their platinum anniversary.

The couple’s love blossomed in the 1940s when they met at a horse gymkhana at Ballimore.

It wasn’t until Violet’s family moved closer to where John lived that the opportunity for love and lifelong friendship could take hold.

“I had lived further along the Dunedoo Road from Ballimore. John lived out on the Gilgandra Road. Just after we met my father moved over to the Gilgandra Road. Being only about 16 meant the whole family moved there.

“John’s father’s property wasn’t very far away. So we used to go through the back paddocks to meet up,” Violet told Dubbo Photo News.

“It was only about seven miles from our place to Violet’s,” John recalled.

She says their courtship was fairly slow and life has taught

` She is good company but I reckon I picked the best little girl in the world... a

her that John doesn’t do things in a hurry.

“I buggered around for about three years before I popped the question,” he said.

On Saturday, February 5, 1949, the couple met at the Church of England church to tie the knot.

So what’s their secret, after all these years?

“We both loved horses and

were reared up in the bush. She is good company but I reckon I picked the best little girl in the world. We’ve had our ups and downs. She’d have one opinion and I’d have another, but we’ve always worked it out. I couldn’t have done better,” John said.

“Neither one of us could have done better,” Violet added.

There is another secret to the longevity of their partnership

and it’s a Ford Model T. John and Violet have travelled thousands of kilometres to the farthest reaches of Australia in that iconic motor vehicle, including far north Queensland, across the Nullarbor, the Birdsville Track, up into the Kimberley and Darwin.

“We’ve had a great life,” John said.

IF you’ve just tuned in to this column, here is a brief explanation.

Each week we discuss a thought inspired by one of the words or phrases in the iKi Crew song “Every Single Day”. Each word or phrase represents an idea, an activity or choice.

The song “Every Single Day” summarises a core belief at iKi: that key to living productive and rewarding lives is choosing – and practising – behaviours that lead to positive, fair outcomes for ourselves, our families and our communities. Every single day.

You can listen to a sample on the iKiFit Blog page – or find it on iTunes under iKi Crew.

This week’s thoughts are around the word ‘Idealise’ which means to represent something in an ideal form or character, or to measure something as perfect or excellent.

Most of us think in terms of ideals at least some of the time. We might think about the ‘pecrfect’ job, the dream relationship, an excellent holiday, the best body and much more. We strive to be as good as we can be, to be honest, a great parent, loyal friend, successful leader. We resolve to look after ourselves and our family. But try as we might, there are times we find ourselves falling short of our ideals.

We’re all human, we all have flaws and few things in life are as simple or as easy as we may like. So, an important consideration when dealing with ideals is to remember that while they can be great guides, they are rarely attainable.

Remember also that there is good and bad in everything. Elements like arsenic, cyanide and selenium are deadly in even small amounts – but micro amounts are essential to all life. Ideals can be excellent guides to help us visualise where to aim, what to strive for and to provide a benchmark for comparison, so long as we remember reality, moderation and consequences.

Think of “Ideals” like a cup of coffee or your favourite beverage. Taken at the right time and in the right quantity it can be SO good – the signal for a relaxing break, full of antioxidants and energy. But taken in excess, can cause all kinds of problems, like insomnia, nervousness, irritability, stomach cramps, heart palpitations. The list goes on.

The same principle can be applied to ideals. For example, honesty is the best policy, though there are occasional ‘right times’ for a white lie. “Does my butt look big in this” anyone?

Sometimes political, economic or religious ideology can be downright dangerous.

Capitalism is a theory that insists ‘the market’ is the best way to encourage individual effort. On the one hand it has lifted billions of people out of poverty and helped build an amazing world – one where dreams can become reality. But taken to the extremes we see all around us, it exploits and damages the environment, communities, families and individuals. It’s “winner take all” philosophy is leaving many behind, just as the overuse of resources for profit is damaging our future.

And sadly, the news is full of examples of political or religious fanatics who take ideologies to extremes and inflict horrific punishments, torture and mass murder on those who don’t ‘measure up’.

So, let’s aspire to ideals that allow for and celebrate difference, that share the benefits of progress and profit, and preserve a healthy future for our children and grandchildren.

This year let’s prioritise one ideal.

Fairness.

Have a great week. z Kim Macrae is the Dubbo-based founder of iKiFit. He writes about ideas and activities that can help brighten our own lives and the lives of those around us.

Anyone but NBN (or Nats)

WHAT a week it’s been in politics, with tempers getting frayed and things hotting up in the seat of Dubbo, and beyond.

This week the third party campaigner Anyone But Nats is in the spotlight, being dobbed in to the Electoral Commission by the The Nationals for offering three months free NBN to people who display Anyone But Nats’ electoral corflutes in their front yards.

The Nats are quoting a section of the Electoral Act which states you’re not allowed to offer a “promise or offer to give or confer, any property or any other benefit of any kind... to influence or affect any person’s election conduct”.

Anyone But Nats said they’re doing nothing wrong by offering free NBN. Speaking of Anyone But Nats, the last time I looked, the group’s Facebook page had less than 1000 likes, which doesn’t seem to indi-

cate the groundswell of anti-Nats support that some suggest is out there. It might be a classic case of everyone living in political bubbles until the votes are counted on the night.

Another thing that may, or may not, help voters is an upcoming Dubbo community forum being staged by Anyone But Nats. It’ll be held at Dubbo RSL’s theatrette on February 21 starting at 6pm.

Fire damage As reported in our Emergency Issues column in today’s paper (page 14), emergency crews tackled a major fire between White Street and the railway line on Sunday night, where a pile of wrecked cars at an auto dismantling business were engulfed in flames. This photo shows the aftermath of the fire in the light of day on Monday. PHOTOS: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

The names, they are a changin’ THERE’S heightened interest in the lives of those brave souls who’ve put their hands up for public office and some interesting facts are coming out of the woodwork, not necessarily relating to the issues at hand.

I’d been asked a while back if Mathew Dickerson had changed his name as a young bloke and that stirred something in the dark, dim recesses of my mind, so I asked him about it and got this reply.

“My christened name was Mathew Thomas Roy Dickerson but when I was young I started using the name Mathew A Dickerson as I liked what the initials spelt and I used it in my business name of MAD Screen Printing,” Mr Dickerson wrote.

“I legally changed my name to

Mathew A Dickerson when I was in my teens and also used the name MAD Industries as one of my other early business names.”

I remember reading years ago about a bloke who was arrested for driving over the limit in South Australia and he’d legally changed his name to Fish/n/Chips, and I’ve had a weird fascination about people changing their names ever since.

I once considered changing my name to Tedric, Lord of the Marshes and Prince of Alien Realms, but unfortunately that moniker was already taken.

Back to the fray ANYONE But Nats threw about 400 cats amongst the pigeons this week when they posted an email

from Dubbo Nat’s campaign director Peter Bartley pretty much smashing all other candidates in sight and claiming his candidate Dugald Saunders was facing an uphill battle to retain the seat of Dubbo for the Nationals.

First thing I did was contact Peter Bartley to confirm he’d written that email, that it wasn’t in fact fake news, and he confirmed he was its author.

It’s certainly stirred things up.

Here’s one paragraph from the email: “The election is a real David v Goliath with Dugald facing a cashed up independent willing to spend up to an estimated half a million dollars in a bizarre attempt to try and buy himself a seat in the NSW Parliament, while not having any policies or taking a stand on any issues, and a Labor opponent who resorts to personal attacks on Dugald and constant

gutter sniping.”

Needless to say that didn’t go down too well.

This from Mathew Dickerson: “I am disappointed that the National Party does not understand that the community at large has moved past the old-fashioned attack politics.

“This letter, sent to Nats Members, accuses me of breaking the law with expenditure almost three times the legal cap. It is hypocritical in accusing me of trying to buy the seat on one hand while asking for a donation on the other hand so the Nats can attempt to buy the seat.

“It accuses all four opposing candidates of being law breakers and shows incredible insensitivity by asking the people who have been most impacted by the drought for a donation.

“Even though I expect this type of behaviour from the big parties, I am disappointed at how quickly they have sunk so low,” Mr Dickerson said.

Dubbo Photo News February 14-20, 2019 I’ve been accused of massively under-reporting, also sent me a statement which included these quotes: “I’ve always had a good relationship with my fellow lawyer Peter Bartley, so I was a bit surprised to see myself described as a ‘miscreant’ by him, but I guess the Dubbo Nats are getting a bit desperate,” Mr Lawrence said.

Other candidates running AS I alluded to above, I’m copping my fair share of criticism for not running enough stories on the Shooters Farmers Fishers’ (SFF) Lara Quealy, Country Labor’s Stephen Lawrence and, to a lesser extent, the Greens’ Rod Pryor.

If anyone knows about anything that any of these candidates are doing that is as newsworthy as the stories from the camps of both Dugald Saunders and Mathew Dickerson, I’d love to hear from you.

I’ll continue to report and analyse the major issues as I see them, without fear or favour.

Promise on Q Fever IN the furore of an election campaign the ALP has quietly announced a policy I devoutly hope will be matched by everyone else.

NSW Farmers were so happy with Labor’s pledge of a $4 million policy to tackle Q Fever through improved access to vaccination that they put out a press release on it.

Normally NSW Farmers are pretty solidly behind the Nats so maybe they’ve talked to the betting agencies and seen some writing on the wall.

NSW Farmers’ President, James Jackson, said he was pleased that

NSW Labor had made a commitment to improving access to the current Q Fever vaccine, and would invest in research to commercialise a new vaccine.

“Kudos to NSW Labor for taking Q Fever seriously and committing to protecting those that are most vulnerable to contracting this debilitating disease.”

Mr Jackson, who has suffered from an acute form of Q Fever, said that NSW Farmers was grateful for the ongoing support of NSW Labor to address Q Fever risk.

In my quest to feature the other candidates, Labor’s Stephen Lawrence told me he welcomed the Q Fever funding announcement, as well as his party’s TAFE and solar policy announcements.

Mr Lawrence was also able to bring shadow water minister Chris Minns to the area this week (after my deadline) so that will no doubt have seen some tropical discussions around the many water issues plaguing the region.

Shooters shoot down coalition rumours SHOOTERS, Fishers and Farmers (SFF) Upper House MP Robert Borsak says his party will definitely not enter into a coalition to support the NSW government, or with the Greens or other left-wing independents, despite media reports indicating otherwise.

Mr Borsak said SFF will work with whatever parliament the people of NSW elect, to deliver the best possible outcomes for regional NSW. “We know there is no chance the Greens will ever serve the in-

terests of our voters. So it’s safe to say we will never, ever share power with them.

“If there are other left-wing independents that oppose farmers, and basic freedom, we will not deal with them either,” Mr Borsak said.

Just to make sure I give local SFF candidate Lara Quealy a mention, she sent that press release to me via her iPhone.

Rural cop boost WESTERN Region Commander, Assistant Commissioner Geoff McKechnie (pictured left), has announced the roll out of additional rural crime resources which is welcome news in the bush.

Eighteen new Rural Crime Investigators (RCIs) will be deployed across regional NSW to target country crime including stock theft, illegal hunting, stealing, trespass and firearms offences.

The addition of these 18 new investigators brings the number of RCIs state-wide to almost 60.

Beware of scammers SCAMWATCH is warning members of the public about a spate of text messages asking for emergency assistance, according to NSW Police.

These messages are coming from phone numbers not in your mobile contacts.

For example, the text message might read, ‘Please call me back right away. It is an Emergency I need your help!’

People who have called the number back report being verbally abused by a recording on the

other end.

This is a new and emerging issue.

While people have not yet reported losing money as a result of these calls, you may find the content of the recording distressing.

Scamwatch therefore advises that you exercise caution or do not respond to these text messages.

Labor’s police promise THE ALP knows there’s an election looming, and shadow police minister Guy Zangari has announced a Labor government will provide additional support to NSW police including $12 million for welfare programs and $80 million for extra security at stations.

The $12 million investment will double the funds allocated to the NSW Police Workforce Improvement Program, which provides physical and mental rehabilitation services.

The ALP claims the funds will ensure all officers have access to an expanded and improved program to address the stressful and challenging nature of the work they do.

As background, and as illustrated by a police officer being injured recently in Wellington, up to 250

NSW police officers suffer physical injuries every month, with up to 50 suffering a psychological injury each month, Labor says.

“The men and women of the NSW Police Force go to work every day ready to risk their lives to keep the public safe. The least we can do is give them proper security, protection and support in their place of work,” Mr Zangari said.

Labor has also committed $80 million over the next four years to upgrade security at police stations across NSW, to protect police officers and members of the public visiting police stations from violent offenders, fixated persons, and lone wolf attacks.

Mr Zangari quoted statistics that, in the year to September 2018, there were 1540 incidents of assault occurring on law enforcement premises – an increase of more than 20 per cent compared to the previous year.

Labor has also committed to hire 1500 additional police officers over the next four years and expand the overall number of police officers in NSW to more than 18,000. 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.

'8%%2·6 1(;7 %,* 7+,1* Dubbo’s Big Open Arms

By Finn Randell

Central West Leadership Academy A mark of a strong community is kindness, compassion and empathy.

Dubbo has all of these marks in abundance making it such a great and inspiring community. I strongly believe that the new thing of Dubbo should be the Big Open Arms, a statue of large welcoming open arms.

Everyone outside Dubbo needs to know that Dubbo loves diversity; anyone is welcome here.

Dubbo’s multiculturalism is astounding when you see difference merging together to form the core of Dubbo.

It gets added to, making Dubbo more culturally rich than ever when migrants come from all over the world contribute to making the culture, the community, Dubbo’s heart thrive. When someone moves from the city to the country they bring culture, new things to make Dubbo even better than it is now.

Tree changers are such a big part of our community, making it thrive and grow with their unique culture and way of life.

It’s what makes Dubbo so prominent, so different.

From the Cross Cultural Family Festival, to the Spirit of Planet Festival, to the Dream Festival, Dubbo has many activities that showcases its multiculturalism.

We want and need more people from a wide variety of backgrounds to bring their skills and creativity to our town and region. The Big Thing of Dubbo needs to show what Dubbo is all about: kindness and acceptance.

The Big Open Arms would show the world everyone is not only welcomed, but wanted here.

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Pro climate-changers may not have it completely right

LETTERS

Scott Tourle provided these two graphs. The graph above shows the Annual Mean Minimum Temperature in Dubbo over more than a century, while the graph below charts the Annual Mean Maximum Temperature in Dubbo over the same period. The story in Dubbo Photo News last week only included the first graph – we’ve reproduced both this week due to the considerable interest shown by readers in response to our story.

The Editor, Thank you to Scott Tourle for his graph work on the Dubbo weather pattern since 1880, and to John Ryan for publishing the work [“Making sense of local weather data”, Dubbo Photo News, February 7]. It is a clear indication that the pro climate-changers may not have it completely right.

Comparisons based on the 1960s figures are a distortion of

the facts. Anyone who dares to differ is branded a “climate denier”. In fact, far from being climate deniers, we believe the world is constantly changing and we may well reach or exceed the temperatures experienced in 1900.

What we do not believe is mankind can change the world patterns.

There are many things that

can be done to improve our environment and some political parties have high-cost plans under the false umbrella of “climate change”.

We can improve pollution levels and reduce waste by recycling.

This is all good for the population, but we will not change the Earth’s cycles.

Please sign the Q Fever Vaccine petition The Editor, I hope your readers will support the incredibly important e-petition to Federal Parliament requesting an adequate level of Q Fever vaccine coverage in our rural, regional and remote populations.

The Principal Petitioner for this e-petition is Mr James Jackson. It states that: “Q fever continues to affect regional, rural and remote communities in Australia, but testing and vaccination against this disease remains cost-prohibitive for many citizens.

“With dire drought conditions across the east coast, our rural communities are facing an increased risk of Q fever. Research shows that there is a clear relationship between decreasing rainfall and increasing Q fever incidence.

“Dry and dusty conditions, increased animal movements, increased movement of hay, and a greater presence of macropods put

our farmers, their families and their towns at risk.

“Q fever costs time, costs money, and is costing lives.

“Australia relies on high-quality cattle and sheep production, but does little to protect our citizens from diseases associated with livestock.

“We believe it is unacceptable that Australia is the only country in the world with access to a human vaccine, yet we do not have an adequate level of vaccine coverage in our rural, regional and remote populations,” the petition states.

It’s a long way to the shop if you wanna Chiko Roll Yvette Aubussonon nFoley ❚ OPINION NOTHING against boilermakers but when a tradie designs a meal that becomes a national “dish” and icon in its own right, well, it makes Master Chef look a bit self-absorbed and confirms the Millennial doctrine that “yes, you can do anything”.

The Chiko Roll was ‘invented’ in 1950 by founding father and said boilermaker Frank McEncroe of Bendigo, Victoria.

How can we really be surprised in this great nation where Aussie’s are known for coming up with bloody good ideas in the backyard boardroom, or, the world leading lab, depending on your preference?

So, aside from the Chiko Roll

icon, the Land Down Under has also gifted to the world genius ideas in the black box flight recorder, spray on skin, the electronic pacemaker, the medical application of penicillin, polymer bank notes, the cochlear implant (bionic ear), the electric drill, the winged keel, permaculture, Wi-Fi technology, Google maps, the ultrasound scanner, plastic spectacle lenses, permanent-crease clothing, Gardasil and Cervarix cancer vaccines, the racecam, the aircraft inflatable escape slide, Hills Hoist, the plastic wine cask, and the list just goes on, and on, and on, and on.

Sure, Mr McEncroe took his inspiration from a Chinese chop suey roll, but he made it uniquely Australian by improving on the design, coming up with a more robust roll where its crispy outer layer doubled as its own holder.

Early Australian biodegradable packaging.

In 1951 his concept was tested on the unsuspecting patrons of the Wagga Wagga Agriculture Show

who thought all their Christmases had come at once.

Word of the Chiko Roll spread like jam on bread.

Needing to step up production in the 1960s, Mr McEncroe once again took someone else’s idea and made it better, converting a sausage machine into a whizbang, state-of-the-art Chiko Roll production line.

The country was going crazy for this fabulously Australianised Chinese food.

It wasn’t long before he had to upsize again, merged with anoth-

er company and went public. An Australian success story.

In the ‘60s and ‘70s, grabbing a Chiko was as Australian as swatting flies and it became the staple of milk bars, fish’n’chip shops and agricultural shows.

In the 1970s, 40 million Chiko Rolls were being sold Australia-wide each year and more than one million were exported to Japan.

Today, Chiko Rolls are manufactured in Bathurst and the rest, as they say, is history. It certainly looks like the Chiko is here to stay.

However, a lot has changed on the nutrition front and fried foods are a harder sell these days in the face of obesity and disease.

In a blatant plug, another Aus-

sie invention is the world’s first certified organic fast food chain Oliver’s Real Food restaurants offering the fast food convenience without the nutritional question marks.

Instead of fries on the side you can get steamed organic green beans and edamame, golden rice nuggets, rosemary baked potatoes or sweet potato strips.

Organic yoghurt varieties, organic soups, salads, bliss balls, dipper packs, pita pockets, and more are definitely a sign of the times. Given the Dubbo store is one of 30 scattered up and down the eastern seaboard from north of Brisbane down into Victoria, it seems the commercial demand for organic fast food is also a sign of these times.

ORANA Physical Culture extended a very big welcome to new and returning members recently. It is a dance sport which has had a long presence in Australia, now launching into its 127th year.

Physie fuses dance styles such as jazz, ballet, hip-hop, contemporary, aerobic dance and even has links to yoga. Orana Physie is a not-for-profit community group.

With excitement the club happily welcomed back teachers Rhiannon Malouf, Sarah Campbell, Sarah Lucan, Kristy Hubbard and Holly Jameson, who work towards supporting girls and ladies to blossom with confidence and self-assurance.

Physie classes cater for all age groups from two years and up.

Miss Holly runs the 2- to 4-yearold ‘Sparkles’ group where imagination and creativity abound.

Great news for all the ladies out there who have ever thought “I’d love to do physie but I don’t think I would feel comfortable in a leotard”.

physical wellbeing. It’s about getting fit and healthy and having a place where members feel encouraged, supported and valued.

They’re taught to embrace fitness as a way of life and focus on what their bodies can do, rather than how they look.

For Term 1 the club is offering a ‘Stretch and Technique’ class to members 9 years and up. This class is designed to promote flexibility and strength. It will give support to anyone who chooses that extra tuition, as well as further build those in-club networks.

Orana Physical Culture is now an approved provider of both the Active Kids and Creative Kids vouchers. The affordability of Orana Physie has been greatly enhanced by the generous sponsorships provided by the Regional Australia Bank, Peppercorn Childcare, and the South Dubbo Tavern.

The club uses and thankfully acknowledges the superb facilities available to them in Henderson Hall at the Macquarie Anglican Grammar School. This high-quality venue provides a floor and learning space that accommodates the club’s commitment to excellence.

For those who aren’t sure, a free trial lesson is on offer. The associate teachers are planning a fun-filled year where fitness and friendship are paramount. You can contact us via our facebook page.

Exciting year ahead for Dubbo Horse and Pony Club Contributed by JUDI YEO DUBBO Horse and Pony Club members are looking forward to an exciting year.

Our first rally day will be held at Rawsonville on Sunday, February 17. The riders will enjoy a trail ride that includes a swim in the river.

On Saturday, February 23, we will hold a working bee followed by our AGM. Then on Sunday, February 24, will be our first gymkhana. We are hoping to attract a lot of riders and looking to start the year off with a fun

competitive day.

New members are always welcome and for more information you can find us on Facebook.

Our photos here show some of the club members’ recent activities.

Your Country Your Voice RUNS ON SAFER JOURNEY DOWN THE PONTO THE BOARD FALLS ROAD •

The upgrade of a two-kilometre stretch of Ponto Falls Road from gravel to bitumen seal is now complete, providing a safer journey for motorists travelling in the Wellington area.

•

The $1.2 million upgrade was jointly funded, with the Australian Government committing $1.1 million and Dubbo Regional Council contributing $114,616.

There were concerns about the safety of this section of road and so this upgrade will be welcomed by locals and visitors alike. Ponto Falls Reserve is one of the hidden gems of the Central West. If you haven't been, I'd highly recommend a visit!

6,500 LOCAL RETIREES TO BE HIT BY RETIREE TAX

• •

As I have travelled around the electorate there has been a huge outpouring of concern about Bill Shorten’s proposal to take away the tax rebates of retirees.

• •

TOL`»YL [Y`PUN [V ZH` [OH[ VUS` ^LHS[O` WLVWSL HYL HќLJ[LK I\[ MYVT [OL WLVWSL contacting me, this is clearly not the case.

The 6,500 local retirees who are going to have their retirement incomes slashed are everyday Australians who did the responsible thing to work, follow the rules and save for their retirement.

It’s clearly a huge miscalculation to paint them as rich ‘fat cats’.

I recently met retiree Max Stuart who is shocked at the policy. He said he can’t HќVYK [V SVZL OPZ [H_ YLIH[LZ HUK HSZV [OH[ OL JHU»[ ZPTWS` NV IHJR PU [PTL HUK earn more money to make up for the retirement income he’d lose.

STUART TOWN PAYS TRIBUTE TO ITS PAST Under Round Three of the Australian Govenrment’s Stronger Communities Programme, the Stuart Town Advancement Association received a $8,000 grant for new entry signs into the village. The funding was also put towards a new ‘Ironbarks’ sign at the intersection of Burrendong Way and Bell Street.

The signs have now been installed and are a wonderful addition to the community. As local residents would know, Stuart Town was formerly known as Ironbarks and was immortalised in Banjo Paterson’s famous poem, The Man from Ironbark.

Congratulations to the Advancement Association – the signs are fantastic!

Seniors Festival

February 14-20, 2019 Dubbo Photo News

Age is just a number. That’s never been truer for retirees and senior residents of the Dubbo region during a Golden Age where opportunities, services, products and technology are transforming how we all age, now and into the future.

It’s what the Seniors Festival is all about – celebrating our seniors and ensuring they’re living, learning and travelling well, and sharing quality time with family and friends.

While gardening and a grey nomad tour of Australia are staples of an Aussie senior’s life, in 2019 the choices for retirement living are numerous, making downsizing easier and the thought of slowing down, well, a thing of the past.

In Dubbo Photo News’ annual Seniors Festival special feature you’ll find some of Dubbo’s leading services and organisations taking care of our seniors’ needs, and allowing them a full life – no matter their age.

Wednesday 20th February Connecting Community Services (Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre) is delighted to invite you to our Seniors Expo for 2019.

The Seniors Expo will be held at the Dubbo RSL Auditorium.

The day begins at 9:00am with Stalls from local service providers.

There are lucky door prizes and fantastic local entertainment for you all to enjoy.

Seniors Festival

Come on down to the Seniors Expo!

THE Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre holds the social lives of seniors close to their heart.

Staff and volunteers are committed to the many programs they run in support of seniors, especially those in need of company and a friendly face.

Regular senior-centric activities and services are held through the community activities program (CAP) which meets every Wednesday between 9am and 2pm to play cards and chat, then again on the second Friday and fourth Monday of the month to watch movies.

The venue is the Wingewarra Activity Centre (formerly the CWA Hall).

The Community Visitors Scheme (CVS) is another program connecting volunteers to seniors in the community with the aim of enriching their quality of life, especially those who feel isolated or lonely and will benefit from a friendly visitor at home.

Volunteers for this program can

apply through the Centre.

Staff and volunteers know they can’t do everything, so once a year they host the NSW Seniors Festival Dubbo Expo p – and 2019 9

is gearing up to be a bumper event with over 50 stall holders.

Assembled in one convenient location, seniors, carers and families can con-

nect with community organisations and businesses at the Expo to learn about the range of products and services tailored for their needs.

For more information, drop into the Dubbo Neighbourhood Centre at 1/80 Gipps Street or call 1800 319 551 and be sure to save the date – Wednesday, February 20 – to attend the Seniors Expo Dubbo.

It’s all about choice at Sunny benefits at Oak UPA Bracken House Tree

UPA Bracken House is piloting an innovative aged care funding model called Consumer Directed Care which assists aged care residential clients to make their own choices about when and how their care is delivered. For example, they can choose when they prefer to eat and shower.

“Home care packages already offer this, but as of July 1 when the government introduces new standards, the focus in residential facilities will be on helping consumers make individual choices,” UPA Western Region regional manager Elaine Baillie said.

“We have been running a trial at Bracken House with 11 residents and which will last three months. We have two team leaders who discuss with our clients what their goals are and explain how they these can be achieved. The staff have been trained specifically in consumer directed care.”

If you would like to know more information about the Consumer Directed Care funding model, contact Elaine Baillie on 5852 4700 or find UPA at the Seniors Expo at the Dubbo RSL on Wednesday, February 20.

FOR many retirees soaring energy costs are a major concern but seniors looking to relocate to Oak Tree Retirement Villages are set to save as the Group commits to flick the switch on solar and allocate 100 percent of the benefits back to the residents.

Leading provider of Retirement Villages, The Oak Tree Group, will provide on all new developments a 4KW solar panel system and battery storage unit which has the potential to deliver 6KW hours of energy for resident’s individual use.

“Our commitment to solar means you can now think of our villages as self-sufficient solar farms, this means all energy produced is utilised within the village community,” The Oak Tree Group managing director Mark Bindon said.

“With seniors now more focussed on their income in retirement than ever, we are certain this is a step in the right direction.”

What are the benefits of Funeral Bonds?

FUNERAL Bonds provide for the specific purpose of meeting your future funeral expense.

You can choose to pay for funeral expenses in full or partially through investing in Funeral Bonds.

Your Funeral Bonds will not affect your means-tested pension so you can invest up to the current Government threshold of $13,000 per person per (financial) year.

In conjunction with your funeral director you can arrange your funeral to be exactly how you wish it to be, and have everything prepaid in either a lump sum or over a number of payments at a fixed price by investing in Funeral Bonds.

So call us today and/or meet us at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Seniors Expo to find out more about the benefits of Funeral Bonds.

Free information session on aged care planning FOUNDATION Wealth Planners understands how overwhelming planning for aged care can be, both for the person in question and their family.

On Friday, February 22, between 10am and 11am, at the Dubbo RSL Jacaranda Room, Foundation Wealth Planners director Belinda Tink invites residents with concerns to join her at the free â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Planning for Aged Careâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; information session.

Guests will find out what aged care services are available, what the real costs are and strategies for covering those costs to achieve the best financial outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is no one-size-fits-all plan and nothing happens quickly as there are waiting lists, paperwork and Centrelink to be engaged. So, the sooner discussions about the best plan possible begin, the better in the long run,â&#x20AC;? Ms Tink said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of time you cannot foresee whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be required. Perhaps a move into a residency is sudden. What happens then? Do you keep your home, do you sell? There are many things that can be planned for beforehand to make those major decisions less stressful.â&#x20AC;?

The information session is free to attend and there is wheelchair access.

Let’s talk about pre-paid funerals

A Tradition of Caring

Choices to personalise your funeral needs

W Larcombe and Son Funerals recommends prepaid funerals to guarantee no matter when you die, you receive the funeral you planned.

“Prepaid funerals are different from funeral bonds. Let’s say you arrange a funeral that costs $5850, and that’s all you can put towards it. That’s all you’ll ever have to pay, even if you don’t die for another 20 years; we must honour what you paid for at the time of purchase,” W Larcombe and Son Funerals owner Barbara Carter said.

Cemetery fees are not included as these frequently change.

Contact W Larcombe and Son Funerals for more information or visit their stand at the Seniors Expo on Wednesday, February 20, at the Dubbo RSL auditorium.

Choices to personalise your funeral needs Shakespeare Funerals is the longest serving funeral home in Dubbo, renowned for providing a professional and very dignified funeral service for the deceased and their families.

Burials, cremations, monuments, prepaids, graveside services, bereavement care and support are just some of the many services available to suit your needs.

Shakespeare Funerals manager Laura Carter recommends prepaid funerals as a cost-effective way to plan a funeral to suit your budget.

A prepaid funeral plan also fixes costs in today’s dollars, even if your funeral is not for many years to come. Some exclusions may apply however, such as cemetery costs.

The benefit of prepaying is similar to preplanning as it relieves your family of worry, stress and uncertainty during a difficult time.

Landmark social housing project in Dubbo officially opened

By KEN SMITH TWENTY-FIVE Dubbo seniors now have safe and secure accommodation with the redevelopment of the former St Faith’s hostel for girls into affordable housing.

Officially opening the new 21-villa development at 32 Macleay Street in Dubbo on Tuesday, February 5, St Vincent de Paul Housing CEO Brian Murnane said the villas represent Vinnies NSW’s commitment to being of service to the people of Dubbo.

“The official opening is the culmination of a three-year journey since the old site was demolished in 2016,” Mr Murnane said.

“The St Faith’s villas are for people over 55 who might otherwise struggle to find quality affordable housing.

“This is the first of 12 projects being undertaken by Vinnies Housing across NSW that will create 500 new affordable homes for people in need for the NSW Government’s Social and Affordable Housing Fund.

“As well as a place to call home, Vinnies is also providing tailored support so that our tenants can connect to the services they need,” Mr Murnane said.

The official opening was undertaken by Vinnies NSW President Denis Walsh along with Mr Murnane, followed by a blessing by Dubbo Parish priest, Father Greg Kennedy.

The Buzz

By Christopher pher Budden TO be honest, keeping up with Dubbo’s recent buzzing events has been very difficult as I have been pre-occupied with Channel Nine’s new documentary series exploring the animalistic nature of humanity (no not David Attenborough’s

‘Life’) – Married at First Sight (MAFS).

While I would shudder at the bill Channel Nine has footed for the flowers alone on the program, I really wanted to know what they spent on Botox fillers. I am certainly no besotted type of guy, however I am intrigued by the dramatized portrait marriage is put under – who can forget Davina and Dean last year!

So now to what’s what and who’s who in Dubbo this week. I learnt last week that I am now too old to go and bust a move on the Pastoral or Roo dancefloor.

How did I learn this? Firstly, my knees started hurting the morning after and, to my horror, every other person who was boot-scooting was about five years

View from Brisbane Street

younger than me. I have retired to the relaxed atmosphere of Dubbo’s many bars and really enjoy the creativity of the drinks menu at Dubbo’s best speakeasy over-looking the Macquarie River (did someone say monkey?). I am sure I will come out of retirement on occasion though!

I want to draw everyone’s attention to the fact that the school holidays are over.

As life returns to normality, there will be no children interrupting the frequenters of Dubbo’s many ‘artisan’ coffee shops as they nibble at their avocado and fetta smash – which is essentially avocado and fetta mashed with a spoon (what ever happened to eggs and bacon!).

I for one have had a laugh at countless people’s photos on social media regarding their child’s first day at school – the oversized uniforms purchased with the idea of getting three years wear brings back memories.

On a very serious note, the Turf Club hosted its annual ‘Boys Day Out’ on Sunday, February 3 – celebrating men’s mental health. I want to congratulate the Dubbo community for this event and taking the time to recognise the issues that men do face, all the more potent as we continue to endure one of the worst droughts on record.

That is my update from me to you – speak again soon.

SUDOKU EXTRA

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.

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION STRANGE BUT TRUE

z American historian Henry Brooks Adams once said: “They know enough who know how to learn.” z Spanish explorers named California after a mythical island of Amazon women ruled by a warrior queen named Califa. z Though an electric eel is born with the ability to see, by the time it becomes an adult it is blind. This lack of sight is not a hindrance, though; the fish uses electricity to create an image of its surroundings in much the same way that we use radar. The electricity also is how the electric eel kills its prey, producing a 600-volt shock – five times more powerful than the shock you might receive from a household outlet. z You might be surprised to learn that Philadelphia-brand cream cheese was originally made in New

York. z In 1811 and again in 1812, earthquakes caused America’s Mississippi River to temporarily reverse course. z If you’re of a certain age and facing up to wrinkles, you might be interested to learn that, according to some dermatology experts, one of the top causes of skin wrinkles is your habitual sleeping position.

Rounding out the top five contributing factors are sun exposure, gravity, smoking and facial expressions. z If you ever travel to China, keep in mind that the menu item known colourfully as phoenix talons are actually just chicken feet. z Thought for the Day: “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” – Albert Einstein

NOW HERE’S A TIP z “Kids do love their sneakers, but sometimes when a kid loves his sneakers too much and wears them every day, those sneakers don’t love the family back. In short, they stink. We filled a pair of socks with a mix of the crystal kitty litter and the detergent-boosting beads that smell so good. At night, Junior takes his sneaks off and stuffs these mock socks inside. The litter absorbs moisture, and the beads leave them smelling pretty good.” – contributed by D.D. z “For a clean look in our bathroom, we use clear pump bottles for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I refill them as needed, and it’s so much nicer than having 10 different partially filled bottles in the bathtub.” – R.B.

z It’s time to brush your shoes!

Give white canvas shoes a makeover with a toothbrush and plain (not coloured) toothpaste.

Use the toothbrush to apply the toothpaste and scrub stained areas. Wait five minutes and wipe away with a damp white rag.

You should see an improvement. z We ladies don’t always think to do it, but you should wipe down the exterior of your purse daily. z To get lift and body in your hair, use a volumizing spray at the roots, and then use your brush to lift the hair up while giving it a shot with a blow dryer. z If you are serving hot rolls on a buffet, line the basket with aluminium foil before you line it with a towel. The foil will help reflect heat, keeping the rolls warmer longer.

Again, the Telegraph of February 28, 1944, records that Trevor “trained for the events on his sister’s cycle because his own machine was being repaired”. His daily route, the article stated, “was a three-mile run from Mosman to Crow’s Nest and return.” It went on to say his “efforts to keep up with the trams became a joke for early travellers, ‘but now the laugh is on them seeing I’m the new State champion”

TRIATHLON

Big field for TriStars 4 event

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL

A BIG field of 76 competitors were at the Dubbo Aquatic Centre early Sunday morning for the fourth event in the junior triathlon series.

“It was an awesome turnout,” was how Club President Jason Dearmer described it.

“Perfect weather, fast pool and a great team of volunteers and supporters to make sure everything ran smoothly.”

Jason pointed out there were more “first-timers” keen to give it a go.

“We ran races over three courses – short, medium and long. Some of our regulars have moved through the levels

over the season and are now putting in strong times in the longer events.”

The next Tristars is on March 10, a week after the Club’s major event, when Dubbo hosts the Regional Interclub. Teams from Mudgee, Cowra, Bathurst, Orange and surrounds will be in town for the all-important last points races.

“We will have up to 100 competitors diving into the Macquarie River, pedalling on Bligh and Macquarie Streets and out on the Old Dubbo Road before finishing with a run along the riverbank,” Jason added.

More information is available on the Dubbo Triathlon Club Facebook page.

SPORT TIME WARP

Apollo Netball Club – 25 years in the making

By GEOFF MANN

WHEN a group of friends dreamed of playing together as a group, there was an aim to develop a dynasty. That goal has been well and truly netted!

Robyn Lappa approached the Dubbo Netball Association in 1994 and the first team was laced in jade green polo shirts and black skirts depicting the Apollo Candy Co. name.

Times have changed, the team has grown into a club with a full complement of teams, and the polos and skirts have been replaced by A-Line dresses embracing the original jade and black.

“We had a logo made, looking to the universe for guidance, with a comet tail,” current president Maree Holland told Dubbo Photo News.

“Many of our teams still sport universal tags such as Comets, Starbursts and Sparkles but we have had to search outside the stratosphere to find names for the many new teams.”

Last season Apollo fielded 14 teams from 5 to 7 years in the NetSetGo program to a full set of senior teams.

“We also support our mem-

bers with a great volunteer committee, umpire mentors and qualified coaches, all under the Netball NSW banner,” Maree added.

Registrations have changed over the past quarter of a century.

“Like everything in life, technology has overtaken paper with all regos now made online. The added bonus of the Government Sports Rebate for busy families encourages children to get active and play sport, embracing the opportunity to make new friends and have a great support network as they advance through the ranks. Netball is a great sport and creates wonderful opportunities for people of all ages.”

The Apollo tag is instantly recognised in Dubbo and across the state and now boasts mentors within the local association, high ranking Nationally Badged umpires, Western Region coaches and representative opportunities. As Dubbo moves forward into a proposed new indoor venue and increased input from Netball NSW, there are plenty of opportunities for netballers in Dubbo and surrounds.

Apollo joined other clubs with the first of a number of registration days held at Elston Park last Saturday.

“We have two more registration dates – this Saturday, February 16, from 2-5pm and Sunday, February 24, from 11-2pm – at the Nita McGrath Courts Netball Clubhouse,” Maree said.

For further enquiries email apollonetballclubdubbo@outlook.com or visit the website apollonc.nsw.netball.com.au or join them on facebook.

DRAGON BOATERS

Pendragons Abreast fourth in final THIRTY Dubbo Dragon Boaters competed in last weekend’s Lunar Festival Regatta at Cockle Bay in Darling Harbour.

Three Dubbo breast cancer survivors paddled fourth place in the final. Chris Robinson says it was a very close finish with less than 25 hundredths of a second between second, third and

the Dubbo team.

“One of our members was in the winning Illawarra team,” Chris said.

“Everyone had a fun day with camaraderie and lots of laughter. It was the first time we’d competed at Darling Harbour for a couple of years. It was spectacular with perfect weather.”

Ducks fly flag at AIF Swimming Carnival DUBBO’S Ducks ventured to Condobolin for the annual Western Districts AIF Carnival last weekend.

Ducks President Dave Sparkes said the host club put on a great weekend for swimmers and their partners.

There was also the formal presentation of Life Membership of the AIF for well-known Wellington swimmer, Terry Dray.

“Tippy was elected for Life Membership at last year’s carnival and AGM in Dubbo but the honour was bestowed on Sunday. Tippy, as he is affectionately known, is the first life member of the Western Districts AIF Swimming,” Dave said.

The Ducks had a good day in the pool with the President winning both the RSL 30 metre handicap and the 50 metre event.

Brett Schloeffel won the under-50 years RSL scratch race and in the over-60 years, it was a Ducks’ trifecta – Tom Gray first, Doug Fuller second and David Sparkes third.

A brilliant swim by Mark Scullard clinched the blue ribbon event, the 50m open scratch race.

“Scull was too good for them.

He churned down the pool at a rate of knots,” David wrote.

In the relays, Tom Gray, Greg Salmon, David Sparkes and Brett Schloeffel finished second in the 4 x 50m RSL scratch race, the Ducks teams including Marg Ross, Mel Giddings, Glen Smith, Xanthe Clark, Doug Fuller, Jenny Salmon, and John Wherritt came in third in the 6 x 50m relay with one RSL swimmer.

Jenny Salmon won a $100 fuel voucher in the raffle.

“As usual the Ducks had a weekend full of fun and friendship and were great ambassadors for the Dubbo RSL Club and the rest is... what happens on tour stays on tour,” David Sparkes laughed!

Next year’s Carnival will be held at Cobar.

Sometimes you simply need to have the tough conversations Beau Robinson ❚ OPINION 30-6 WAS the final score. We had been beaten, and convincingly. When I actually went back to look at the score that night, I was a little surprised. I actually thought it had been higher, such was my memory of that resounding defeat.

It’s Round 2 of the 2011 Super Rugby season, and we, the Queensland Reds, have suffered a thoroughly disappointing loss to our arch rivals the NSW Waratahs.

We always knew it was going to be tough, and although we didn’t expect to win, we went into that game thinking – no, believing – we had a great chance of winning.

The season had been looking good after the boys had finished off the previous season in fifth, only one position out of the finals, and a position which this year would have given them a place in the finals.

The trials had gone well against

the Crusaders up in Cairns, followed by another good performance to back that up against the Brumbies in Darwin.

But the start of the season definitely wasn’t going to plan. A close, by the skin of your teeth win against the Force in Round 1 at home, winning 21-20, mainly in part to a late penalty, and we hadn’t hit our straps the way we had expected.

Even though the Force always put out their best performances for the year against the Reds, we knew it was coming, and being the first game we should have nullified that and proven that we were the better team.

We as a playing group had high expectations for the season. Having not been there the previous season, but coming at the start of the pre-season, there was a real buzz around the place. When I say ‘we’, I literally meant the playing and coaching group. We had higher expectations than I think many, if any, of our supporters could have placed on us. Sure, they may have been hopeful, the team had finished in the bottom half of the table for a good few years now,

but we weren’t hopeful – we were expectant, expectant of ourselves and each other.

So what happened that night in Sydney when the Waratahs had us leaving the field, licking our wounds? Was it arrogance? Nope.

Disrespect? Nope. Complacency?

Nope.

I think we were up for the game, but they were up for it a lot more than we were. They had sensed that this year would be tougher than they had faced in a long time – and they would be right. But not on this night. They had come for battle, especially after only narrowing defeating the Reds at Suncorp thanks to a Wycliff Palu try the season before, in what would be the only encounter between the two that year.

Ewen McKenzie, our coach, got us into the meeting room, adja-

 …communication is one of the best indications of whether a team – business or sports – is ready to play. 

cent to the change room. It was also a miniature lecture theatre, and was a different location and setup to where and how we had been located pre-match and at half time. We were in a circle then.

Now we were all looking at him, at the front. There were no heated words, no yelling and screaming, despite those being things Ewen McKenzie was more than capable of; maybe not the screaming, but definitely the yelling and swearing. But he was good at choosing his moments.

Tonight was not the night. He wanted the answers from the playing group.

Why were we not up for it?

Pre-season had been good, the pre-season games had been good, training had been good. Why weren’t the performances good? This went on for about 40 minutes.

Maybe we were still living on last year’s achievements? There seemed to be a lack of enthusiasm, and energy, and that showed in a lack of communication.

I think communication is one of the best indications of whether a team – business or sports – is ready to play. For sports, it’s about

how much communication is taking place on the field. It’s why I emphasise the level of communication, especially from the leaders, in a warm up. Communication leads to clarity and confidence.

We walked out knowing what had to change. And it did. The next time both teams met we were on a roll and went onto beat the Waratahs for the first time in a long time. And then finish the season as minor premieres, and then as Champions.

As a business leader you will at times find yourself in Ewen’s position. You don’t always know the answers, or have to have all the answers – ask your team what’s going on. Especially if you’ve set the standards and expectations as a group, and they aren’t being met.

Sometimes the team needs to take ownership for their performances. Don’t just allow it to go on, unaddressed. Have the tough conversations.  Beau Robinson is an Action Coach Business Coach and former Super Rugby Champion and Wallaby. beaurobinson@actioncoach.com

Phillips sees Nelson as game “Busta” NEWLY appointed Narromine Jets Under-18s coach Luke Phillips says the arrival of James “Busta” Nelson has already had a positive affect with several other players deciding to join him in restoring Narromine as a force in the Group 11 competition this season.

“We have a long road ahead but signing young Busta has been a big key for the side going forward this year, player-retention

wise. I’m looking forward to him and his brother Willie blending with those we’ve retained from last year and the new lads who

are keen to wear the red and white,” Luke said.

“I’m expecting good things from Busta and his brother.”

Teachers clinch Floaters and Drowners trophy for first time in a decade

EQUESTRIAN

Rare chance to embrace Olympic gold medals FOLLOWING on from last week’s story on three-time Olympic gold medallist Matt Ryan who was in Dubbo for a clinic with local riders, these photos are testament to the lustre of these treasures for local athletes.

Matt took his medals to dinner and some of the west’s finest were able to dream the impossible dream in the presence of a legend.

THE second annual Dubbo College versus Ex-Collegians cricket match is scheduled for Monday, March 11. The T20 match will commence at 4 o’clock preceded by some skills drills with current and former stars.

Dubbo College teacher and former student Craig May has already recruited ex-Collegians Wayne Munro, Lee Price, Wayne Dunlop and CYMS rugby league coach Jarryn Powyer for what should be a corker of a match.

ALTHOUGH it was 2013 when the teachers from St Pius last won the annual battle with the parents to finish the school’s swimming carnival, it was a decade in the making!

Deputy Principal Greg Cant and long-serving teacher Lisa Hunt were the only two members of the 2013 team to swim

this year, but with new blood in Ngali Shaw, Year 6 teacher David Schwager and “part-timer”, yours truly, accepting the challenge from parents, the teachers held off two teams of stars.

“The parents’ phones were running hot as they recruited absent parents for the match race but even after the ‘fly-ins’ arrived, the hard-working staff were determined to gift retiring Principal Heather Irwin with a much-cherished piece of silverware,” a jubilant Mr Cant exclaimed with a laugh!

SPORT Chasing a dream

By GEOFF MANN JAMISON Leeson was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) in her infancy but it has never stopped the now 15-yearold getting the most out of life.

The sports-loving student from Dunedoo High School has now seen her expansive interests in all things sport, translated into an Australian guernsey in the sport of boccia. More on that later.

For all of her life, her mum Amanda has been the principal carer.

“Jami was a floppy baby, she never reached her milestones, never crawled, couldn’t pull herself up into a sitting position and has never walked,” Amanda explained.

“She received her first wheelchair – motorised – when she was four. That was incredibly exciting and opened up a whole new world for her.

“We’ve always tried to do whatever Jam would like to do, despite the obvious restrictions, and so at age five I pushed her around the netball courts like the other girls her age. She participated in school cross-country events, telling her captain to run fast so they could win. She has always been very competitive,” Amanda laughed.

Jami loves to paint as well and won first prize at the Dunedoo Art Unlimited junior section last year and she was the first to lead cattle in a wheelchair at championships in Baradine last year.

So what is boccia? Jami explains: “It’s like bowls specially created for people with mobility issues. It is played with leather balls which are not like lawn bowls as they don’t have a bias.

“It’s played indoors on whatever surface is available – some games are on basketball courts, some on vinyl floors, some on lawn bowls carpets. Basically, whatever is available, although the championships are mostly held on synthetic courts,” Jami added.

Some people are able to throw the ball but Jami has to use a

ramp, similar to the ones used in ten pin bowling but without the buffers on the lane.

“I sit in my chair looking down the court. The aim is to get your ball as close to the jack as possible. To do this I have to use a ramp aide. That person faces the other way and it is my job to instruct them to move it up or down and change the angle to give me the best chance.”

Jami has been selected to represent Australia at upcoming events in Hong Kong and Korea.

Originally it was expected she may go to China but after trials in Sydney Jami was picked for the Pacific Games in Korea in July, then last weekend she was invited to play in the green and gold in an upcoming tournament in Hong Kong.

“It’s just been an amazing journey. Jam was scouted at a schools’ event in Orange last year. She had never played before but was asked to go to Sydney, to try out for representative honours. She was identified as a special talent and had to play off against another girl with the winner to represent her country.

Jami was incredible and beat her opponent who had been playing boccia for years,” Amanda said proudly.

Jami is stoked!

“It’s remarkable that I only found this sport last year and now I’m going to play for Australia!”

Jami will be playing pairs alongside a male who is ranked No.2 in the world in singles. Australia is actually ranked No.1 in international boccia.

Jamison Leeson is a remarkable young woman who is competing in life where the degrees of difficulty are more difficult than for most of us. Her ability to meet, greet and defeat the daily challenges have been fostered by her mum and loving family, her brother and sister and extended family and the schools and community at Dunedoo.

Both Amanda and Jami acknowledge the collective efforts of their hometown, friends and the Men of League Foundation (MOL)

“Jam grew up with rugby league – her brother plays – and MOL have helped us in so many ways over the past few years. People like Martin Cook, Ross Tighe, Ronny Gibbs, Matt Ruan, John Sullivan and others have been wonderful. Without the specially modified van they bought us we wouldn’t have been able to get these opportunities. We are so grateful!”

Both are regular attendees at MOL functions in Dubbo and Dunedoo, determined to never forget and to give back. They sell tickets and spread a special joy to locals and NRL and former league stars who attend events.

With the next Paralympics scheduled for Tokyo in 2020, I asked Jami if her five-year-old self would have ever dreamed of representing her country.

“No way! It’s crazy to think it’s happening. Not even a year ago could I have dreamed of this happening for me! It’s the first time since 2000 Australia will be competing in boccia and it’s crazy to think I could be going to Japan,” she marvelled.

For mum Amanda, it is a sweet development. For all her life Jami has been totally dependent on her to get around. Amanda has had to lift her up and place

her in car, carry her chair, take her to school and on excursions.

And it has taken its toll. In the last 12 months she has had surgery to remove cysts that had developed on her spine.

“Doctors told me it was from bending and carrying Jam. It was okay when she was a baby but, of course, she has grown and the extra load has taken its toll.”

She returns to the Men of league and their support.

“MOL buying the car has certainly made things easier. It’s been a life-changer for us. Having the vehicle allowed me to have the operations and made it so much easier for Jam to get around to her friends’ places and be more interactive,” Amanda said with a quiver in her voice.

The Leeson’s spend four to five days every fortnight travelling back and forth to Sydney where Jami is being treated with an SMA wonder drug.

It costs $100,000 per injection but is fully subsidised by the government for all with SMA under 18.

“The drug slows down degeneration in my body, and in America there have been cases where sufferers have gained strength (when) it was not previously thought possible, so I am hoping it will have the same effect on me,” Jami smiled.

While the drug may slow down the degeneration, nothing slows down Jamison Leeson, an amazing person with an incredible mum and inspirational zest for life.
