A CHRISTMAS STORY

PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/EMY LOU

For three decades, Margaret and Graham Johnston have delighted families at Christmas time with a festive display at their Dubbo home. After 30 years however, the feeling is that 2019 might be the last time. Mrs Johnston, in particular, is reluctant to say it is the last year because they’ve both loved giving joy to the community over all those Christmases. They have also raised thousands of dollars for Early Intervention from the many visitors and to all those generous people, the Johnstons say thank you. p

SHOP WHERE YOUR HEART IS

By NATALIE LEWIS DROUGHT, online shopping and a myriad of commercial choices are all challenges being faced by Dubbo retailers ahead of the Christmas rush. But there’s a lot to be said for buying local. Dubbo Photo News asked local business operators what they think the secret to retail success is during a difficult time. Max Robertson of Tyrepower Dubbo says his family has been in business for some 75 years. He understands more than most how important it is to support rural families, particularly during hard times.

Dubbo Photo News December 5-11, 2019

Mail monsters ‘gutless, heartless, spineless’ By JOHN RYAN CAREER cops who have seen it all have been shocked by a number of vexatious letters targeting farmers across the western region over the past week. In the midst of the worst drought in living memory, NSW Police Force Rural Crime Prevention Team State Coordinator, Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside, said these letters are adding to stresses on farmers that in many cases are already at dangerous levels. “It just takes it to a whole new level of disgusting, to cause the hurt to people who are already at the lowest point in their lives,” Det. Insp. Whiteside told Dubbo

Photo News. “I’ve seen some disgusting things during my 31 years with the NSW Police Force but this is up there. “If anyone knows anything, you can report it anonymously to Crime Stoppers – you don’t have to give your name – in this case the information is what’s important,” he said. Property owners as far apart as Dubbo, Peak Hill and Walgett have received unsigned letters which refer to the current prolonged drought conditions and make suggestions to the victims that they should take the lives of themselves and their livestock. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said he’s appalled by this

sort of behaviour. “I think gutless, heartless, spineless are words that spring to mind. This is not the sort of behaviour we expect from anyone in our community,” Mr Saunders said. “I’m not sure why somebody would take this approach to people who are doing it tough through a particularly harsh drought at the moment, so my comment would be to cease and desist. A member of the public took a letter they’d received in to Mr Saunders’ office during the week, and he referred them to the police. “I suggested (they) take that letter to the police and hopefully there will be some way of linking them all together, and maybe find

out who is doing this,” he said. NSW Farmers Association CEO Peter Arkle said the organisation is advising members to report the letter immediately to the police if they receive one. “To receive letters such as these is distressing for farmers who are dealing with the daily pressures of an unparalleled drought and water shortages,” Mr Arkle said. Police believe the letters are being hand-delivered to mailboxes. Det. Insp. Whiteside is urging victims to photograph and preserve the letters and envelopes before making a report to their local police station. “It is extremely important that these letters are not over-handled, both in a physical sense and by

not disclosing information to fellow members of the public which may impact the investigation,” Det. Insp. Whiteside said. “Victims should report the matter to local police in a very timely manner in order to increase our chances of resolving the nature of these letters. “Anyone who has received a similar letter is encouraged to contact their local police station and report the matter,” he said. Crime Stoppers can be contacted by dialling 1800 333 000.

HAY-CARTING TRUCKIE: I’M GLAD TO BE ALIVE

Main photo: Michael Wheeler’s truck alight soon after it rolled over, along with his load of hay meant for drought-affected farmers. Right, the burnt remains of his cab, and Mr Wheeler recovering in hospital this week. MAIN PHOTO: TRACEY BELL

EMERGENCY REPORT By JOHN RYAN MICHAEL WHEELER has been in Dubbo Hospital this past week suffering multiple broken ribs and massive gravel rash abrasions to his right arm – but says he’s glad just to be alive. The Newcastle truckie has been specialising in carting hay to drought stricken farmers and had his worst nightmare come true when his rig rolled just past the Wellington Racecourse on the Renshaw McGirr Way last Thursday, November 28. “As the truck rolled over it severely smashed into the road and

the driver’s window smashed and I actually fell through it so I was grinding along the road through the window,” Mr Wheeler told Dubbo Photo News. “The truck came to a stop and a car pulled up and I was sore, and within five seconds of them kicking the windscreen they yelled out to get out because there was a fire. I was in a bit of a daze, I looked over my shoulder and there was a fire inside my cab, and I just came to life and I just barged straight out through the windscreen. “If the people in the car had of just stopped and watched in amazement, I would have been gone because I just didn’t real-

ise – the fire just took hold so quickly. “I’d like to meet and thank the people that stopped and help and especially the bloke that kicked the windscreen in so I could escape, I owe you my life,” he said. He was also full of praise for Tracey Bell who was soon on scene and rendered first aid. He’s broken three ribs, suffered such severe glass cuts and abrasions to his right arm (the photos are so graphic that Dubbo Photo News has chosen not to publish them) and has numerous other bumps, bruises and contusions, escaping with a ripped shirt, shorts and one thong, losing his wallet, mobile phone and work

laptop, and everything else he carried in the truck for his longhaul role. Mr Wheeler believes the fire may have been sparked from the batteries in his dog box which powered an air conditioner in the truck cabin, rather than the blaze being started on the outside of the cabin by hay pushing into the truck’s exhaust pipes. “It is a tricky road, I’ve been travelling along that road two or three times a week carting hay to farmers for the last couple of years so I know it quite well,” Mr Wheeler said. “It just doesn’t make sense, one of my drivers in another truck that I owned rolled over in April

on the corner before it, and he had spring suspension on his trailer as well, although he said he was taking evasive action against a car coming towards him. “For me, that was the first time I’ve rented this trailer and it was the first run that I’ve done through there with it. I treat that road with respect, I’d come to the corner at about 30 kilometres an hour like I do every time., and I looked out my mirror and noticed the trailer starting to lean over which surprised me,” he said. Mr Wheeler normally runs trailers with air bag suspension and said in his experience they appear to be far more forgiving and stable.

National Trust weighs in on Rawsonville Bridge loss

THE carrying capacity of heavy vehicles and safety for users are reasons which guided National Trust (NSW) to decide to remove Rawsonville Bridge. National Trust (NSW) Conservation director Graham Quint has told Dubbo Photo News the decision to not keep Rawsonville Bridge came after a long and difficult process to determine which of the remaining 48 of the original timber truss bridges could be conserved. “Many of these bridges were built from timbers of a length and width no longer available. This was a major concern in determining which bridges could be kept and which would have to be replaced,” Mr Quint said.

ECONOMY

Shop locally, save our services Drought, online shopping and a myriad of commercial choices are all challenges being faced by Dubbo retailers ahead of the Christmas rush. But there’s a lot to be said for buying local, as NATALIE LEWIS discovered. BOOK seller Dave Pankhurst has been involved in the Dubbo community for more than 50 years. The Book Connection owner said the formula for success is building on a good reputation and giving customers a strong level of service. “To take advantage of being in Dubbo since the mid-1960s,” he said. “We know a lot of people here.” Mr Pankhurst’s wife Nancy was a teacher for 25 years and taught a lot of children. “It’s that contact with 500 families at least – there’s a connection with the community. Before that, it was my work in rural manufacturing and knowledge of the region.” Add excellent customer service to the mix and people are generally pleased with the outcome. “People feel connected to you where you have been looking after them for many years, and our staff are also very helpful.” Mr Pankhurst believes there is a difference between country and city when it comes to client satisfaction. “There’s very little connection between the buyer and the seller on the main streets of Sydney. Very few people would know who’s behind the companies. By

being here in a regional city like Dubbo for a long time, you start to get to know your customers personally.” And while he acknowledges the difficulties being experienced across the retail sector, Mr Pankhurst is positive about the future of trading in rural and regional areas. “A big challenge is the drought. But we are very thankful for the support of people around us.” Max Robertson of Tyrepower Dubbo says his family has been in business for some 75 years. He understands more than most how important it is to support rural families, particularly during hard times. “The shopping local thing is even more important now,” he said. “The extent of the drought is filtering back into the smaller towns. Dubbo is getting business but the smaller towns are suffering. Injecting money into these towns is now more important than ever before.” Tyrepower has been supporting drought relief locally through financial donations. “We give money to South Dubbo Rotary who have a drought relief fund,” he explained.

“We want to fund an agency that we feel is doing something that makes a difference. And driving dollars into a town is what is going to make the biggest difference. It’s injecting money to the people we are trying to keep employed.” Harvey Norman franchisee Tim Duggan may be reasonably new to Dubbo but he certainly understands the value of keeping money in the local economy. “The biggest thing I’m saying about shopping locally is don’t be afraid to do it. If you are shopping locally, you are supporting local employment.” Mr Duggan said that when farmers are doing it tough, their spouses are often working offfarm. He pointed out that keeping money local supports those incomes. “If you are supporting the local community, it’s more opportunity for people to get jobs,” he said. “The more people you can have shopping locally, the more we can be supporting the local people.” According to Mr Duggan, most retail items are available in Dubbo. “You can get all the things here that you can in Sydney,” he said. “There’s no reason why you should go there when 85 to 90 per cent of things you can actually buy from the local community and pump the dollars into that economy.”

Low water to be pumped from dam Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders at the Water NSW office in Dubbo this week, announcing plans for a new pumping station at Burrendong Dam. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

By JOHN RYAN EXTRA drought measures are well underway to not only shore up critical water supplies in the short term to extend the resources currently available, but also to help future-proof this vital resource well into the future. That’s according to Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders, who spoke of the medium and longer term options on Tuesday. Mr Saunders was announcing a $6.7 million contract to construct a pumping station, coffer dam, and electrical systems to extract water from Burrendong storage should the dam’s water level fall below the outlet valve next year. “Importantly, there will be a focus on local contractors with up to 12 local contractors to be employed during that period – there will be a focus on buying local products as well and, importantly, Australian-made pumps,” Mr Saunders said. He described the plan as “revolutionary”. “It’s never happened before but the coffer dam will be set up with rocks with a liner across the rocks and then topped up with rocks again, and a floating pump sitting just outside that dam pumping water from where the dam is up to and into the coffer dam so that the level stays above the outtake valve.” If there’s significant rainfall and the dam starts to fill quickly, the pumping station can be tak-

en off the water and broken down into container-size components for storage or use elsewhere and into the future. Construction should be completed by the end of February next year, but Mr Saunders said with record low inflows for the past three years and no rain in sight, people shouldn’t be running around saying there’s no need for stringent water restrictions in Dubbo. “People have always said ‘it’ll be right, we’ll never run out of water’, but what this last couple of years has shown is that when things get horrendously bad, we

need to be not just aware of it in Dubbo but also support other parts of the region,” Mr Saunders said. “The claim that there’s no crisis and just hope that it will rain is not a very proactive way to go about things. “Look, we’ve been close to this situation in the past where levels of the dam have been possibly lower than they are now, and then it has rained, but I’m not willing to take a bet, take a punt, that that will happen again. What we have to do is prepare for the absolute worst case scenario, that’s what we’re doing.

“If it doesn’t happen, well, happy days, but if it does we’re prepared and we’re on the front foot in making sure we look after towns and communities,” he said. Water NSW spokesperson Tony Webber said Burrendong’s average annual inflows were typically around the 1500 gigalitres “At the moment we’re receiving one gigalitre per month, so if this trend continues we’ll receive 12 gigalitres in this 12 month period – in the previous 12 month period we received 55, prior to that 42. “That gives you an indication of the severity of the crisis.” Flows have been restricted into downstream creeks to further reduce transmission losses just to get the water to various places and there’s the likelihood of a transfer from Windamere Dam to Burrendong via the Cudgegong River sometime in early 2020. “This is much, much worse than previous droughts, this is well beyond what we’ve experienced previously,” Mr Webber said. “It’s all about buying time so that additional supplies and supplementary supplies can be identified and sourced to ensure town and critical needs are met.” * John Ryan is an elected councillor on Dubbo Regional Council.

New Baird St traffic lights announced RESIDENTS affected by the Road and Maritime Service’s development plans, which required ending south-bound right hand turns into Baird Street, have received news that traffic lights will be installed where the street crosses the Newell Highway to keep right hand turns open at that intersection. Once the development is completed, West Dubbo motorists heading east over the L.H. Ford Bridge via the Newell Highway will have three sets of traffic lights in 400 metres at the intersections of East (McDonalds), Baird and Victoria Streets. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders said feedback from community consultations have resulted in this adaptation demonstrating the “NSW Government’s commitment to working with the community to ensure road upgrades meet local needs”. Nine-hundred submissions of community feedback on the third bridge aspect of the Newell/Mitchel development, and a parliamentary hearing on the matter, have resulted in no concessions for residents.

Little time to comment on Carp Control Plan

Monkey Baa Theatre Company returns to Dubbo in 2020

Pictured: Inland Waterways president Matt Hansen en pictured with the ‘rabbit of Australia’s waterways’, a European carp. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

By JOHN RYAN DEBATE is raging across the Murray Darling Basin states after the National Carp Control Plan (NCCP) released the final discussion papers on its Your Say web page, a move which allowed just two weeks for the public to comment. The closing date to comment is December 12. Late last year the Commonwealth extended the plan, looking at the potential impacts of a species-specific virus being released into waterways to reduce European carp numbers, for 12 months. Local fishing advocate and Inland Waterways president Matt Hansen said carp create massive problems that need to be addressed. “Carp are considered the rab-

bits of our ur waterways, and are responsible le for doing incredible amounts of damage to the entire Murray Darling Basin and beyond. It would be fantastic to see their numbers reduced significantly through the safe release of the carp virus,” Mr Hansen said. The carp virus, Cyprinid herpesvirus 3, has been around for many decades in many different countries – it’s not something that has just been dreamt up by a bunch of Aussie researchers, and unlike some of the outspoken opponents of the strategy would have you believe, it has never jumped from the species and is totally specific to Carp. “When Sturt first stumbled onto the banks of the Darling River in the early 1800s he described our inland rivers as ‘the bottom being visible at great depths’, with large fish in shoals, floating like birds

in mid-air, but Carp have done a great job of all but reversing that description – Sturt would roll in his grave if he could see the state of our river today,” Mr Hansen said. Feedback to the NCCP discussion page was more negative than positive, with people concerned about the unknown or unintended, and potential adverse effects of releasing the virus into Australian waterways. But many in the industry believe the social media comments are being impacted by loud noises from Koi breeders and carp netting contractors, and are not representative of the general population, but rather are coming from a relatively small group which stands to lose financially and is motivated to make as loud a noise as possible. And there are plenty of diverse

views being shared i n this debate, debate including research published under the title of ‘Ecological impacts of invasive carp in Australian dryland rivers, September 2019’, which had this finding: “Not all expected responses were found, indicating that the general understanding of carp impact requires modification for dryland rivers. “Notably, carp did not increase turbidity or reduce macroinvertebrate density or composition, probably because of key attributes of dryland rivers. “In contrast, there were large impacts on native fish biomass, not from the mechanisms expected, but from food resource monopolisation by carp,” the research stated. The debate continues.

THE range of cultural opportunities on offer to audiences across the region will include performances by the Monkey Baa Theatre Company next year. Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders and Minister for the Arts Don Harwin announced funding this week to support performing arts w companies to take their productions on the road across regional NSW. “Every community and region in NSW deserves its fair access to the arts and cultural experiences that our country has to offer,” Mr Harwin said. “These are some truly excellent productions that will now be touring across NSW and bring their acts to audiences they would not normally reach.”

IN BRIEF

Muller Park playground ‘ready for Christmas’ CONSTRUCTION of the new $96,000 Muller Park playground started this week and a community space is expected to be ready for use by Christmas. The Muller Park revamp will offer accessible climbers, swings, rockers and ‘twistas’, as well as park furniture including a bubbler and seating which are connected by accessible pathways and a disabled carpark on Park Street. Muller Park is one of many local parks undergoing refurbishment including the Dubbo Regional Adventure Playground in Minokamo Way, and Lions Park and Bicentennial Park, both in Wellington, according to Dubbo Regional Council. An upgrade to Theresa Maliphant Park playground opposite Dubbo Base Hospital begins in the new year. Muller Park is named after Wellington-born Frenchman Narcisse Muller Jr who was an alderman on Dubbo’s first council, elected in 1872, and who held the position for 26 years, and was mayor four times. His eulogy remembers him as an “unselfish public servant who spent his time and money in the interests of the town and district”.

WHAT IS THE CREATIVE & CULTURAL FUTURE YOU WANT FOR OUR REGION?

Council v Rex soap opera continues Rex cancels meeting with Dubbo Regional Council amid legal talk Mayor: I would welcome any attempts by Virgin to start flying into Dubbo By LYDIA PEDRANA REX Airlines has scrapped a meeting between the airline and Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) scheduled for this month. According to DRC, the meeting in Dubbo was to follow a meeting Mayor Ben Shields and DRC CEO Michael McMahon attended in Sydney in August. “Dubbo Regional Council is disappointed Rex Airlines has chosen to withdraw from (this month’s) scheduled meeting to discuss options for better fares for flights between Dubbo and Sydney and ways to improve the relationship between Council and Rex,” a DRC spokesperson told Dubbo Photo News. However, Rex said the decision to can the meeting was because of “legal action being taken against Rex by individual members of council” and they “did not feel continuing with the meeting would be appropriate under the

circumstances”. Council CEO Mr McMahon has confirmed that he and the five directors of Council are assessing what legal action may be taken against Rex in relation to comments made in a letter which was dropped in about 16,000 Dubbo mailboxes in early November. “The Executive Leadership team at Dubbo Regional Council is currently seeking a retraction from Regional Express, about comments made in a letter that was sent out to the Dubbo community in a letterbox drop recently,” Mr McMahon said in a statement. “All available and appropriate avenues are being considered to seek redress to correct the erroneous statements being made by Rex in our community.” The scathing letter was titled “Rex exposes lies and falsehoods made by the Dubbo Regional Council” and accused the council of “ripping off the Dubbo travelling community of over $3 million

SPARC Shaping Plans to Advance Regional Culture

Dubbo and the region are experiencing a period of exciting change and transformation. We are growing, developing and evolving into a dynamic, globally-connected region. Now is the time for us to set the vision for signiﬁcant cultural growth and SPARC a new creative future. Dubbo Regional Council is developing a new Cultural Plan to strengthen and embolden our region, to make it a cultural leader and innovator. To develop this plan, we need the community to assist us in sharing their exciting vision of what the future looks like and how we will get there.

every year through its outrageous airport head tax charges.” The letter, signed by Rex executive chairman Lim Kim Hai, used strong and negative words to describe actions by the DRC. The strained relationship between Rex and DRC over passenger fees and security screening has played out publicity in the media over recent months. The stoush escalated when DRC backed its decision to increase the Dubbo airport head tax by $1.99 to $16.90 per passenger for the 2019-20 financial year to cover airport upgrades, but Rex claimed the fees were far more than similar regional terminals. The airline is also forced to pay Dubbo airport to security screen its passengers, something it says it is not legally required to do under Federal Government legislation. In October, Rex threatened to cancel or reduce its current 61 weekly flights between Dubbo and Sydney.

Asked on Tuesday whether a backup plan was in place if Rex did pull its services, Mayor of the Dubbo Region Ben Shields said the council is in “regular contact with potential business partners for the Dubbo City Regional Airport”. In 2014, Mr Shields publicly called for Virgin Airlines to service the area, a sentiment he still stands by. “The whole airport and its recent development is something I am extremely proud of being part of,” he said. “We have been able to achieve great success at our airport because of our business acumen and our passionate desire to grow facilities even more. “With that being the case, I would welcome any attempts by Virgin to start flying into Dubbo.” Just last month, Dubbo City Regional Airport won the gong for best regional airport at the Australian Airports Association awards.

Rhonda Burchmore’s frisky trip to Dubbo By LYDIA PEDRANA ENTERTAINER Rhonda Burchmore’s recent trip to Dubbo wasn’t without a bit of star-studded drama. The entertainer (pictured) was subjected to a security search at the airport after her “expensive perfume” triggered a positive explosives test result. In town to headline the NSW Seniors Christmas Concert at the Dubbo Regional Theatre, the all-singing, all-dancing performer Tweeted about the ordeal. “I just had to be frisked 3 times and body searched at Dubbo airport, my licence taken and report written af-

ter the alarm went off 3 times which took over 30 mins only to find out it was the nitrate content of my Chanel perfume – they said it happens with expensive perfume,” she wrote on the social media platform. Ms Burchmore later told 2GB’s Ben Fordham there were “as many as six security people” dealing with the situation. Airport security officers randomly select passengers to test for traces of explosives using swabs. Burchmore said she was given the all clear after security personnel said it must be her “expensive perfume” setting off the detector.

: IN E R A S LT SU E R E H T DUBBO’S 1.7 TONNE S LOST! DOWNSIZE

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY In August this year Aussie founders of the Super Fast Diet rolled into town promising great things for anyone looking to turn around their life, lose weight, or both. Over 400 people signed up, with 300 of those taking up the offer of some free workouts at Anytime Fitness. Celebrating participants’ efforts last Tuesday night, Super Fast Diet co-founder Victoria Black conﬁrmed that between them all, they lost around 1.7 tonnes. “Dubbo smashed it out of the park,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “It brought us to tears hearing

the stories of lives transformed. One gentleman, who everyone said was an inspiration, lost 13 kilos! He’s 47 and his motivation was to be around to see his young daughter walk down the aisle one day,” Ms Black said. That man was new dad, Marcus Hanney, who says the results were more than he’d hoped to achieve, and since the program ended he’s lost another two kilos. “It’s really taught me how to eat sensibly. I’ve done away with junk food. It’s just retrained me to watch what I eat. I don’t starve myself. There’s no diet. I’ve dropped fried food. I’m eating salad. I’ll come home at night, have a bit of steak and salad, so I’m still eating normal food.” He also says he has a lot more

energy which counts a lot for his work which requires him to be on his feet and to keep up with his family’s new addition. “My daughter was my motivation. She’s ﬁve-and-a half months old now. I am an older father and I just wanted to be sure I could watch her grow up. If I didn’t do this program, I probably wouldn’t have,” Mr Hanney said. Ms Black added: “It’s been a privilege hearing their stories. Some people said it’s helped get them out of depression and anxiety.” Right: Some of the 400 participants in a weight loss program run over the last two months in Dubbo, pictured last week celebrating their net loss of 1.7 tonnes.

Council reply on postage promotion: We’re no Christmas Grinch!

Grants for droughtaffected communities

DUBBO Regional Council has responded to last week’s Dubbo Photo News report on a local business operator who claimed Council’s free postage for local business promotion was too hard to deal with. Tamworth Street businesswoman Robyn West told Dubbo Photo News she couldn’t understand why Talbragar Street was the only post office participating in the promotion, given the fact there are four Australia Post offices in the city – and going to Talbragar Street would require

ABORIGINAL communities affected by drought can now apply for ‘Community Wellbeing’ grants of up to $20,000 through the Western NSW Public Health Network (WNSW PHN). Funded by the Australian Government’s Empowering our Communities program, the grants are aimed at facilitating Aboriginal community-led well-being events, focusing on connection to country, cultural and wellness perspectives and alleviating the stress of extreme drought.

her to close her own store during the day to participate. Responding to the report, Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) says it offered to have its staff take the parcels to the post office for her. “The business owner quoted in last week’s edition of Dubbo Photo News... was certainly not dealing with the Christmas Grinch when contacted on several occasions by Dubbo Regional Council prior to the article being published,” a DRC spokesperson said this week.

“DRC staff offered to personally take on the role of ‘Santa’s little helpers’ and transport items from the business to the Talbragar Street Post Office, which Australia Post has designated in the terms and conditions as the only authorised location for the program’s postage.” The Council spokesperson said that the same parcel assistance offer had been made to other participants in the program, but none had taken it up so far. “Dubbo Regional Council is un-

sure about the claims made by the business owner stating that the initiative ‘is designed to help Council and no one else’ as, so far, more than 80 businesses have registered for the initiative. “In addition to this, the program, which is solely aimed at benefitting local businesses in Dubbo and Wellington has, as of close of business on Monday, December 2, provided around $5300 in free postage within the overall $500 per day cap,” the DRC spokesperson added.

DUBBO’S Classic Cars and Coffee went off with a bang with its last event for 2019 last Sunday morning at Victoria Park, with the parking spaces along the drive and around the Cenotaph packed, and some vehicles needing to park on the grass. As usual there were plenty of cars that haven’t been seen before as well as old favourites that needed some closer scrutiny, like Peter Heywood’s immaculate 1932 Citroen. Mr Heywood says people think Citroen and imagine all the tiny traditional French cars, so they’re shocked when they see his car and realise it’s a substantial motor car more on the order of a pre-war Cadillac or Horch. “Many people don’t know, and I didn’t until I started restoring the Citroen, that the brand was up there with Mercedes and quite a few of the other European makes of the day, and this one was the top of the range luxury model for

Citroen at the time,” Mr Heywood told Dubbo Photo News. “In Australia we got a lot of four cylinders which were more the run-of-the mill cars. This is the only one that I know of in the southern hemisphere, it used to be the French diplomats’ car in Canberra. “Mechanically it’s a very advanced car for the 1930s. Citroen generally was ahead of the time – if you look at the motor under the bonnet now, it looks like it’s 20 years ahead of its time,” he said. One of his major challenges during the 10-year, workingtwo-days-each-week restoration was sourcing parts, most of which were almost impossible to find. “I wanted to do it original and there were no other parts available in this part of the world so I had to make a lot of the parts – that was the hard thing. Some came from France but not many,” Mr Heywood said. “We tried as much as possible to do this original rather than

put something else in it that wasn’t on the Citroen when it was built. “We had to source a differential; it didn’t have a diff and we actually found one; but making things like the mascot of the top of the radiator, that’s cut out of a solid piece of brass and hand-filed. The bumper bars, they were all missing, all the mudguards and running boards were all gone so they had to be hand-made and it goes on and on and on, nearly every bit that you touch had to be made,” he explained. After the mindboggling number of hours dedicated to getting his pride and joy on the road, Peter Heywood likes nothing better than driving it down to Dubbo Classic Cars and Coffee to have a yarn with mates and fellow car enthusiasts. “It’s lovely, really good, especially after the work you put in to do these cars up it’s a great feeling to be able to show it in public, that’s what makes it worthwhile,” he said.

DUBBO’S Coronation Drive is now officially Minokamo Way in recognition of 30 years of sister city friendship between Dubbo and the Japanese city of Minokamo. Minokamo Way takes visitors to the entrances of Shoyoen Garden and Dubbo Region Botanic Garden. Dubbo Regional Mayor Ben Shields was joined by Minokamo Mayor Mr Seiiti Ito and Japan’s Consul-General to NSW Kiya Masahiko (pictured) for the street sign unveiling ceremony on Sunday, November 24.

Hundreds of students from the two cities have participated in exchange programs between Japan and Australia since 1987. Following the unveiling ceremony, members of the visiting delegation and Dubbo residents were entertained by Japanese music performances in Shoyoen Garden. The garden was officially opened on November 23, 2002, the 153rd anniversary of the founding of Dubbo and the 13th anniversary of the sister city relationship with Minokamo.

TRAFFIC UPDATE

Extra traffic lights for Cobra Street By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

A NEW set of traffic lights on Cobra Street next to the RAAF Base development is currently being assessed by the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS). The lights will form another signalled intersection on Cobra Street, 550 metres east of lights replacing the Fitzroy/Cobra Streets roundabout. The RAAF Base development lights will be part of the main public access road into the residential, industrial, tourist and environmental development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The developer and RMS have entered into a Works Authorisation Deed, which indicates RMS have given in-principle approval,â&#x20AC;? Dubbo Regional Council Infrastructure Strategy and Design manager Stephen Howlett told Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Detailed design has still to be approved by RMS and Council has no involvement in that process or timing for approval and construction,â&#x20AC;? he said. The developer is Andorra Developments Pty Ltd. According to plans drafted by engineering business Premise and presented to Council in the November 11 Infrastructure and Liveability Committee meeting, five large trees growing on Cobra Street adjacent to the development will be removed, if the RMS approves the application. The removal of the native, water-efficient trees which provide a large canopy will make way for development of roadway and

footpath construction. Eventually a right hand turn out of Palmer onto Cobra will be closed to traffic, and motorists will be directed through the RAAF Base to make the righthand turn at the new signalled intersection. The RMS is guided by its Environmental Sustainability Strategy

2019-2023 which states that, in major regional cities, it will complete road development projects with â&#x20AC;&#x153;no net loss of tree canopy coverâ&#x20AC;?. A report commissioned by Council in January this year, called the Dubbo Urban Heat Island Amelioration Project, focussed on trees to mitigate heat

and found they provide thermal comfort on hot days. The final design plans for the extra Cobra Street traffic lights are required to be submitted to Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior traffic engineer for submission to Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Local Traffic Committee and subsequent Council approval. feedback@dubbophotonews.com.au

NOT deterred by the closure of its Target Country store this year, Gilgandra has set up its own 12 Days of Christmas pop-up shop in the old Target spot, called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The GILâ&#x20AC;?. The store is ready for the arrival of city-slickers such as the Di Jones Real Estate convoy of 100 cars which is heading west to #buyfromthebush. Open weekdays from 12 midday to 5pm, and on weekends 9am to 12 midday, the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Shop Local campaign also includes 50 $1000 Coo-ee Cash cards up for grabs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had an incredible response from local businesses, artists and makers to set up and sell their products directly in the CBD in this pop-up space,â&#x20AC;? Gilgandra Shire mayor Mayor Batten said.

ADVERTORIAL

Specsavers Dubbo reopens Two new graduate optometrists, extra consultation rooms, as well as a larger showroom and waiting rooms are a dream come true for Specsavers Dubbo partners Claire Curtin, Yvonne Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan and Paul Gilan. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were hiring new staff during the renovation and then we opened and found with all the extra consultations we needed more staff again, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re actively doing that now,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Sullivan said. While in the same location inside Centro Dubbo on Macquarie Street, the facility is twice as big. Two graduate optometrists have joined the team; both are making the move to Dubbo and looking forward to the idea of working in a local community and getting to know their patients. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Having our own optometrists as opposed to locums means they can become part of the team culture. Plus, locals want to come back and see the same person. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to see someone different every month, especially if we are treating an eye condition that needs to be looked upon and rebooked every two weeks, for example,â&#x20AC;? Mrs Curtin said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Running with four optometrists on any given day means weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to be able to do that,â&#x20AC;? she said. Specsavers Dubbo uses the latest technology such as the OCT camera which allows for immediate test results, and the service can be bulk billed. The team from Specsavers Dubbo celebrate the reopening of their new look store in Dubbo Square, next to Target. Photo: Dubbo Photo News

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY FOR 30 years, Margaret and Graham Johnston have delighted families at Christmas time with their wonderful festive display at their Lakeland Drive home in Dubbo. For many reasons, 2019 is looking like being their last. “I’m normally used to having my granddaughter help me but she’s away at university and it’s getting a bit of struggle getting up and down ladders and moving things around,” Mrs Johnston told Dubbo Photo News. “We’re in our late 70s and you’ve got to sort of say ‘enough is enough’. We’ve also got to worry about our lawn now too. We had it put in last year at great cost and having people walk on it won’t do it any good with the water restrictions and drought, so we’ve got to make it last,” she said. The Johnstons moved to the house in 1988 and start-

ed decorating with a Christmas tree on the front lawn. Today, the decorations they bring out each year fill a 30foot container. “It’s filled to the brim when they’re packed away into their boxes. I’ve got stove boxes and fridge boxes, absolutely jammed packed,” Mrs Johnston said. “I couldn’t count them because we also have a lot in the actual house ourselves, apart from the rooms I decorate at the front of the house. “I started with four tiny houses and now have a village of about 50 houses. We’ve got a fairground in the middle of that village, and merry-go-rounds. I do have enough to do two villages and there’s a train, there’s multiples of things.” The couple have thoroughly enjoyed giving their community pleasure at Christmas time which they’ve used to raise funds for a local charity too. “We’ve never gone out and asked people for donations.

If they’ve wanted to, they can. The donations go to Early Intervention. I used to work for Myer and one of the managers there suggested Early Intervention because a lot of people come from out of town to use the facility and we thought that’s a good one for the whole district, for the children. “I couldn’t tell you how much we’ve passed on over the years. It would be quite a few thousands (of dollars). Early Intervention did give us a presentation one time and there’s a Graham and Margaret Room there now. “In the first couple of years I think we gave the money to the Base Hospital who used it to buy pictures for the children’s ward,” Mrs Johnston said. This year’s decorations at the Johnstons will be on display from two weeks before Christmas. If you’re planning a visit, please be mindful of the lawn and follow designated paths.

New Year’s Eve Fireworks back DUBBO residents can look forward to the return of the New Year’s Eve fireworks which this year will be held at the Dubbo Showground. Hosted by the Dubbo Show Society, the event is sponsored by Gail and Roger Fletcher. “It’s their wish to make sure there’s something going on New Year’s Eve for the little kids,” explained committee spokesperson Sue Hood. “There’s very little on for families and this is a family friendly event. There’ll be no alcohol and no glass is to be brought into the show ground. We are encouraging people to bring a picnic tea or buy food from Rotary, the Dubbo PCYC and other food vendors.” There will also be children’s rides and activities. “Entry will be through Gate 3, which is near the office and the grand stand. Gate 4 will also be open for cars to alleviate congestion on the surrounding streets. People can also walk in through that entrance. Fireworks will begin at 9pm.

One-off cash for drought FEDERAL Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said one-off cash payments of $3000 would provide immediate relief and ease some of the burden being experienced by local communities due to the drought. “Registrations are now open for farmers, farm workers, contractors and suppliers in my electorate through the Drought Community Support Initiative,” he said. Mr Coulton said the payments would help to cover day-to-day living costs such as groceries, vehicle maintenance, energy and utility bills, or medical expenses. “This money will be delivered in partnership with the St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Salvation Army who have done an outstanding job supporting communities across the Parkes electorate,” Mr Coulton said. Applications can be made through St Vincent de Paul Society and the Salvation Army.

By LYDIA PEDRANA WHILE a puppy can be a popular item on Christmas wish lists, residents are being reminded to be nice and think twice about buying pets as presents. Dubbo Regional Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Manager Environmental Compliance, Debbie Archer, said the local animal shelter often sees a spike in the number of abandoned and stray cats and dogs following the festive season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Becoming a pet owner can be a wonderful experience but a

dog or a cat should not be on any last-minute Christmas lists,â&#x20AC;? she told Dubbo Photo News. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the long term, pet owners will be responsible for food, training, vet fees and for exercising the pet appropriately.â&#x20AC;? Local vet, Dr Ross Pedrana from Pet Medical Centre, said prospective dog owners should research breeds before purchasing to ensure the pet suits your work and living arrangements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to choose a breed that is suitable for your lifestyle and the size of your

property and yard,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t advise you go and buy a large breed dog to put in a small townhouse.â&#x20AC;? Dr Pedrana said people should purchase or adopt from a reputable breeder or shelter and look out for some key paperwork to avoid unwanted expenses and health issues later down the track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re buying a puppy, it really should come with a vaccination card and microchip, make sure there is a transfer of ownership to you and make

sure that it comes with a veterinary health certificate; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we go through and check the eyes and the ears and the lungs, heart, skin and basically make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s healthy.â&#x20AC;? He also said people need to be aware of the ongoing medical responsibilities that canines require including yearly vaccinations, regular worm and flea treatments and coat care, especially if they are a long-coated breed. * Lydia Pedrana is the daughter of Dr Ross Pedrana.

Federal fund opens for basin community projects BOURKE, Brewarrina, Menindee, Moree, Mungindi, Narromine, Pooncarie, Trangie, Walgett, Wee Waa and Wilcannia have access to a $15 million economic development fund for Murray-Darling Basin community projects, Federal Member for Parkes Mark Coulton has announced. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Successful projects will help to diversify the regional economy by boosting jobs and businesses in both the short and long term,â&#x20AC;? Mr Coulton said. Warren Shire Council received $3,521,588 in the first round of funding this year for urban enhancement and oval redevelopment, and Walgett Shire Council received $964,000 for Collarenebri to develop a business strategy, three business cases, and provide business mentoring, as well as to refurbish the Collarenebri Showground grandstand, jockeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s room, bar and kitchen.

MANNING

The biggest aspect of the job is production planning. “It helps us to create a product which engages the audience in our media,” Mr Manning said. Other daily tasks include connecting with clients via email and phone, maintaining equipment and filming and editing projects which Mr Manning describes as the best part. There are no dangers involved in the profession though Mr Manning said difficult elements are common. “There is a lot of back-end work which goes into video production, especially using RPAS (drones).” With the characteristics of the job spanning aviation, photography and marketing, Mr Manning said the public response to his work is positive.

“People tend to comment ‘I wish I could be paid to fly drones all over the area’. It’s a great job I must say.” Mr Manning said that most people don’t know about all the certification that’s involved in the job. “A lot of expensive and time-consuming certificates and insurance go into the work we do. People tend not to take this into account when obtaining a quote, though when they see the final product, they are very pleased and proud to share it with their client base.” At just 18, Mr Manning is already on the cusp of long-term success in his chosen career. “There is great employment opportunity in the field. If you obtain all the certification, you can be in demand, not only in the video production industry.”

Shearing Champs have big flow-on effect to industry By JOHN RYAN DESPITE his relatively young age of 33, Wayne Hosie is already a 16-year veteran of shearing sheds far and wide as well as holding the current NSW shearing title. Dubbo Photo News caught up with him at the National Shearing Championship being held in Dubbo over the weekend. He says the rewards from shearing can be fulfilling, and he commits regular time off from shearing to help train and nurture the next generation of shearers. “I work for both TAFE and AWI (Australian Wool Innovation) when it comes to training. With the novice courses there you can come in not ever having shorn a sheep, and you can leave shearing about 40 a day,” Mr Hosie said. “If that’s what you choose to do, you then do wool handling, press-

ing, crutching and eventually you advance and get a bit stronger and fitter.” He says it’s incredibly important for industry veterans to train upand-coming shearers and novices to prevent a shortfall of skilled workers down the track. “It’s massive. If you talk to any of the older guys – and it’s hard to imagine now – but back then no-one would tell the young fellas anything because they were worried they were going to steal their jobs, so basically you got a handpiece that didn’t work real good, you got a stand and a sheep, and you just had to sort of work it out (for yourself),” Mr Hosie told Dubbo Photo News. He believes many shearers back then would have had long-term injuries because they weren’t taught the right techniques on how to shear sustainably health-wise,

SKILLS SHARING

and how to look after themselves so they could have a long and productive career. Now, with proper training in place and courses free of charge at the moment, including one beginning at Dubbo TAFE in January, he says it’s a great option for school leavers who like the fact

that you earn more money based on working harder. “Absolutely, yeah, that’s what keeps it really honest, you’ve got to have it like that,” Mr Hosie said. “That’s one thing I really like about shearing, it’s the honesty of it, you get back what you put in, you can’t be carried and there’s

nowhere to hide.” Mr Hosie considers the Shearing Nationals are a showcase for the industry and that people who compete at the highest level are great role-models. “The importance of the National Shearing Championships is that it gives people an avenue to be professional about your job, and to stand up and be recognised in the industry,” he said, adding that shearers who attend the championships then go back into a shed and influence other shearers, to help them shear efficiently and cleanly. He said they’re “still making good money” and “doing a really good job”. The competition and lessons learned by shearers attending the National Shearing Championships has a flow on effect, which he describes as “super important”.

Condo students see many work opportunities at Fletcher’s Dubbo By JOHN RYAN MARTIN Nash is a Year 11 student at Condobolin High School, going into Year 12, and he was amazed after a recent school tour of Dubbo’s Fletcher International rail freight terminal and meat processing plant. He was keen to see how much of the meat and grain from his district is packaged up and sent to the end users, many of them in different countries. “The tour was really good, very interesting to see what happens and how it all goes on. I’ve never been in an abattoirs and I’ve always wanted to have a look, so it was very interesting to see how the sheep come in, how they’re processed, bagged up, packed and then shipped out on the train,”

Martin told Dubbo Photo News. “If you’re looking to do something like this for your career, or at the grain terminal, it’s good to see how they train you up. “There’s not just meat, over the other side there is cotton and grain and it was interesting to see how everything has to be organised and on time to keep the train going.” He’s already had experience with the company. Rather than idling away his school holidays he spends much of them on the spanners at Fletcher’s Kiagarthur Station not far from his hometown. “I worked as a mechanic during school holidays on Fletcher’s farm near Condobolin, in the workshop with the mechanic over there, and had fun driving tractors and fixing stuff and keeping the shed clean and all that,” Martin said.

“I enjoyed doing that, I went out last school holidays and did a week of work, I like going out there to do mechanics.” While he was getting his photo taken for this news story, CEO Melissa Fletcher walked past and asked him what he was up to. When she learnt he’d already put in some time for the company she was impressed. “Come and work for me up here, we’ll train you up,” she said. The Year 11 student said he was excited to meet the boss of such a major company. “I met Melissa Fletcher during the tour of the plant and I’ve met Farren (Fletcher) down at the farm so I’ve nearly met all the family,” he said. “I reckon it’s good because a lot of kids my age don’t know what

they’re going to do. If they came here they’re eager to train you in all sorts of things which is very encouraging for young people like me.” He enjoys the fact Condobolin High works in with neighbouring schools to create a larger class for agriculture students in a composite program where resources are shared – along with the different

expertise of the various teachers. “It’s really good and we have a lot of fun. On this excursion there would’ve been only three of us if it was just Condo High, so it’s a lot better to have other kids come along and it’s good doing all the class stuff with the other kids as well,” Martin said. He’s currently looking for an apprenticeship as a mechanic.

DROUGHT HELP

Riders do a toy run to Gilgandra By JOHN RYAN THE thunder of multiple motorbikes rang out from the car park of West Dubbo’s Shell service station on the weekend, as members of the Central West Riders SMC (Social Motorcycle Club) set off to Gilgandra to help out a neighbouring small town doing it very tough. Club president Darrel Harvey said, as a social motorcycle club, they enjoy participating in charity events.

“We decided to bring a toy run to Gilgandra in partnership with the Lions Club, in part to help out with Christmas presents for children whose families are doing it tough, and also to create a community event where the people of Gilgandra and surrounds could forget about the drought and the tough times for a while,” Mr Harvey said. “We achieved our goals having 45 bikes attending and we hope to build on that for next year.”

The club worked in conjunction with Gilgandra and Tooraweenah Lions Clubs and Gilgandra Shire Council, the motorcycle and car Toy Run, with all participants donating a child’s gift or a gift card for a teenager, with those gifts for the underprivileged and farming children in the Gilgandra and Tooraweenah area. Mr Harvey said the club was already planning other charity events in the coming year.

“We’re in the process of pre-planning for a charity ride and show in March as well as supporting the Black Dog Ride One Dayer, and the Dubbo Bike Rally,” Mr Harvey said. “We also conduct a monthly ride and take part in other motorcycling events in the central west.” The club is keen for new members to join in the activities and invited anyone interested in going for a ride to get in touch.

EARLY on the morning of December 1 Dubbo HQ and multiple other Orana Rural Fire Service brigades were paged to a fire in the Goonoo Forest. On arrival crews found an area of bush alight with limited ground access. Through the day smaller fire trucks made their way into the forest to contain the fire with larger appliances remaining on the fire trails and relay pumping to the smaller units. Containment was later reinforced by dozers and graders and crews patrolled through the following days.

He mentioned that at the Willawarren fire, where many houses were lost, Wellington 6 (pictured) was responsible for saving the school and service station as well as two houses and a church. On the Willie Willie Rd Fire it saved multiple houses including the local brigade captain’s house. The staff and team of the lower-north coast say they can’t express their thanks enough for the tankers that have come from Region West. Richard Swan has advised Wello firies that when Tanker 6 arrives home, it may have to be checked for fish as they have been filling it out of the river. Fresh snapper, anyone?

Goonoo fire

POLICE have charged a 35-yearold man after a pursuit in Narromine last week. On November 27 officers were patrolling the town when they attempted to stop a Subaru hatchback. Police allege the car failed to comply with direction and a short pursuit commenced before being terminated due to safety reasons. A short time later, police located the vehicle near a vacant block on Booth Street. As police secured the vehicle, it’s alleged they were approached by the man who made threats towards the officers. He was arrested and taken to Dubbo Police Station where he was charged with police pursuit and intimidation of police (x2). He was bail refused at Dubbo Local Court and will reappear on January 23.

Dad of former Dubbo MP charged TROY GRANT’S father, himself a former cop, has been charged with drink-driving after police alleged he was involved in a police pursuit. Apparently a highway patrol vehicle was on the way to a reported pedestrian fatality near Maitland late on November 30 when the officers allegedly saw a ute travelling in an erratic manner. Police allege there was a short, low speed pursuit when the ute failed to stop, the vehicle eventually mounting a gutter, after which police arrested Mr Grant Snr. He allegedly failed the initial roadside breath test, blowing 0.108 later on after being taken to Maitland Police Station He’s been charged with mid-range PCA, being involved in a police pursuit and failing to stop and driving recklessly, and granted conditional bail to appear at court on December 18.

Tree cat rescued I’VE often wondered why cats ever need to be rescued from trees. I was talking to a firie in Washington DC back in 1985 as he was showing us over his station’s ladder truck and asked him how many cats they rescued every year. He told me they didn’t respond to cat rescues. “I’ve never seen a cat skeleton up a tree – when they’re hungry enough they’ll get down somehow,” he told me.

Tom the rescued cat after his rescue

Our Dubbo emergency services are somewhat more compassionate. On December 2 Dubbo Rescue Squad was activated to a cat rescue and on arrival they found a kitten “Tom” 20 meters up a tree. It was a very tricky rescue with the current winds in town, but squad members were able to safely rescue “Tom” and give him back to his owners. At the very least, it’s good training for when the human factor comes around.

Chrome plated op POLICE in the Western region are disappointed people continue to get behind the wheel while impaired by alcohol or illicit drugs, following last weekend’s Operation Chrome road blitz. Operation Chrome was a two-day road safety enforcement campaign conducted in Western, Southern and Northern regions over November 29-30 and utilised police from all districts within each region, working alongside officers from the Traffic & Highway Patrol Command to provide a coordinated effort to reducing rural road trauma. Police targeted poor driving behaviours on rural roads – including speeding, drink and drug-driving, not wearing seatbelts, using a mobile phone behind

the wheel and fatigue. Across the three regions, police conducted more than 17,000 breath tests, with 270 charges and almost 700 traffic infringement notices issued. Assistant Commissioner Max Mitchell APM said Operation Chrome continues to strengthen police visibility and road safety awareness in regional NSW. “People continue to not listen to our warnings and get behind the wheel when affected by alcohol and drugs. We will not hesitate to stop a vehicle if we think the driver’s behaviour puts everyone in the vehicle at risk, as well as others nearby,” Assistant Commissioner Mitchell said. “Police will target those roads that lead to the major arterial routes across the state – the focus on rural roads will not end because Operation Chrome has. “We are making state-wide preparations to be on the road in numbers heading into the festive season.” Western regions saw two speeding infringements, 1894 breath tests were conducted, and a total of 19 charges were laid including 15 for PCS. There were no major crashes or fatal road smashes during the course of the operation.

Car smash and grabs DUBBO police are warning that unlocked cars are being targeted across the city. Over the past week police have received many calls from people that have had valuables taken from their unlocked cars with the thefts occurring both in driveways and public areas. Police say the simple message is to lock your car and do not leave valuables in it. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

Dubbo schools start late while NSW Teachers Federation members meet PUBLIC schools across Dubbo were expected to be impacted in the early part of Thursday, December 5, while NSW Teachers Federation members met collectively across the state, to hear the latest report on the Federation’s current salary negotiations with the Department of Education. Formal negotiations are underway with the Department of Education around the new schools Award, which determines the salaries and working conditions of all teachers. Members will vote on a recommendation for a new salaries and conditions Award. The Federation’s negotiations with the Department seeks a settlement of outstanding “anomalies” including a pre-2016 pay discrepancy, school counsellors’ access to standards-based pay, and the principal classification scheme.

Dubbo gets hairy for men’s health By LYDIA PEDRANA

Can you, in eight moves, turn the top word into the bottom one? You may alter only one letter at a time to make another word. We have entered the centre word to keep you on the right track.

A LOCAL stud stock agent has raised almost $100,000 as part of the Stu Mo Movember team. Brad “Bull” Wilson joined with a group of stud cattle, sheep breeders and a few agents from across the country to get the men’s health message out to the broader community. “Thank you to everyone who has donated – so far I have raised $750 as part of the Stu Mo team,” Mr Wilson told Dubbo Photo News shortly before the day came to shave off his hard-won Mo. “The fur has generated a lot of banter and hopefully awareness to men’s physical and mental health. “Remember it’s okay to be not okay, there are plenty of people ready to lend an ear,” he said. In all, 78 people from across the nation were involved in this effort, the unique nature of the team attracting plenty of media coverage in regional areas. The total raised was $94,891, made up of $64,786 in donations and $30,105 from an auction, meaning the Stu Mo team was the second highest performer in Australia.

MORE than one hundred Mo Bros in Dubbo developed a hairy upper lip last month to raise $16,000 for global men’s health charity Movember. The iconic campaign, which encourages blokes around the world to grow a moustache for the month of November, aims to bring awareness to men’s health issues, particularly prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Local 18-year-old Aiden White has supported the cause for the last four years after seeing his friends struggle with mental health issues. “I try to get involved every year to raise as much awareness for it to stop people dying too young,” the young station hand told Dubbo Photo News. “My main reason is that I’ve had

a couple of mates who have committed suicide from not being able to reach out for help and stuff.” Nationally, almost 100,000 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas got behind the campaign this year with the total amount raised still yet to finalised. Movember estimated that 618 kilometres of moustache was grown by more than 81,000 Mo growers around the country; a similar distance from Dubbo to Coffs Harbour. Thrilled with the result, Movember Country Director Rachel Carr thanked those that got involved. “Everyone who participates in Movember is inspiring donations, conversations and real change,” she said. Funds raised during Movember go towards groundbreaking projects around the world to help ac- Dubbo Mo Bro Aiden White sporting his tash. celerate change. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

NEWS EXTRA Lewis reunites with his Minokamo “Papa San” OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

Geoff and Bridget Mann were part of the Dubbo Delegation that travelled to Dubbo’s sister city in Japan, Minokamo, for the 30th Anniversary celebrations of the relationship. This week Geoff Mann writes about another long-term friendship that began 30 years ago. LOCAL elder Lewis Burns has travelled the world in recent years, but his first overseas jaunt was with a delegation from Dubbo to Minokamo, our Sister City in Japan. Two weeks ago he was thrilled to catch up with the man he calls “Papa San”, Mr Kazanuri Kawamura. It was an emotional scene with the ochre-clad world-renowned artist and musician from Dubbo locked in an embrace with the elderly fruit and vegetable gardener from Japan at the Rhino Lodge welcome dinner. “I stayed with Papa San and his wife Kieko on my first trip to our Sister City and we’ve kept in touch ever since,” Lewis smiled. That trip was in 1999 when a group of businessmen and then Dubbo Mayor Tom Slattery offered to take some of Lewis’ artworks to Minokamo. “Why don’t I come with you,” he fired back. That started a wonderful friendship, evidenced by the warm welcoming embrace. On our recent visit with the Dubbo Delegation for the 30th Anniversary celebrations, Bridget and I stayed with the Kawamuras in their neat home with its traditional feel and lush gardens. The first thing that struck us was a Lewis Burns original in the foyer. “I gifted my Japanese family as a thank-you and to seal our

bonds across the waters,” Lewis recalled with a glint. “I also left a couple of didges and a boomerang I painted to share the culture of my people.” Lewis says he is proud to have his works displayed around the world. “Some people say it must be good to sell so many of your pieces. I don’t see it that way. I tell them, I just adopt them out,” he smiled. The gifted storyteller had Kazun and the entire Japanese delegation and locals enthralled by his haunting tales told through song, dance and an uplifting rendition using the didgeridoo to paint a colourful aural picture. Lewis is a proud Wiradjuri man, a Tubbagah elder who takes great pride in his role as ambassador for his people. “It’s always an honour to welcome people who respect culture. It’s not something I take for granted. The Japanese are an ancient people like us and they really know how to show their appreciation for those who have gone before,” he said sincerely. Lewis is delighted to see so many young Aboriginals learning the languages and becoming increasingly inquisitive about their land. “It’s reassuring to see all these different groups from all over the place now that are coming together, revitalising the local dances and songs and all that.

“A lot of people think our culture died but it was kept alive in the whispers through our elders and we’re lucky for that. We’ve got a job to do now and sing our songs and dance our dances as much as possible and teach ‘em to the young ones.” To witness two men from different countries, different generations – Kazun is in his early 70s – sharing mutual love of country was something very special. From Papa San some small gifts of love to the man he calls his Aussie Son!

Zoo to breed endangered bird By YVETTE AUBUSSON

Taronga Western Plains Zoo has built a special habitat to house four pairs of endangered Regent Honeyeaters. PHOTO: SUPPLIED.

TARONGA Western Plains Zoo has received four breeding pairs of Regent Honeyeaters, one of Australia’s most endangered birds, to house in a new facility. “The next breeding season for the Regent Honeyeaters will be spring 2020, so we are hopeful that these birds will produce chicks in their first breeding season in Dubbo next year,” Taronga Conservation and Recovery Programs manager Andrew Elphinstone said. The Regent Honeyeater is seventh on a list of 20 Australian bird species most likely to become extinct in the next 20

years, according to the National Threatened Species Recovery Hub. The Regent Honeyeater is a priority species under the Australian Government’s Threatened Species Strategy and the recovery plan identifies that all breeding and foraging habitat as critical to its survival. The decline of the Regent Honeyeater is due to the clearing, fragmentation and degradation of its habitat, according to the Australian Government Department of Environment (AGDE). “The species relies on a range of different food resources and is particularly vulnerable to the removal of large mature trees

which are important feeding and breeding habitat. “Woodlands have been widely cleared for agriculture and development, or replaced by silviculture [i.e. logging], resulting in a fragmented landscape,” an AGDE report said. The $1 million Regent Honeyeater breeding program is part of the NSW Government’s Saving Our Species initiative which addresses plants and animals in NSW facing extinction. The NSW Government is also rezoning old-growth forest, opening reserves to logging, and some of those areas include habitat considered essential to the Regent Honeyeater’s survival in the wild.

By JOHN RYAN SUNDAY marked an epochal moment in Australia’s history, with Aboriginal people from across Australia staging dances in their local areas at the same time. These tribes danced for a number of reasons and purposes – for culture, country, children, future and for rain. Wiradjuri Nation members

danced on Tubba-gah country near the Goonoo and those who were there say it was a special moment. Lisa Minner, a long-time photojournalist and keen social observer, said the ceremony took her breath away. “This was one of the most moving things I’ve seen in a long time,” Ms Minner said. “A beautiful gathering, a celebration of tradition for

all ages and a calling out for rain.” Aunty Di McNaboe, a local elder who’s been passionate about bringing language back to her people, had some pertinent words to say at the gathering. “We ask our sister in the sky, our sister to bring us some rain, some strong heavy rain, rain that will last for a while and heal this country,

heal this earth,” Ms McNaboe said. “Our earth is sick, we’re worrying about it, we have tears for it. “A lot of people across country find it hard to heal, hard to sing because they’re waiting for the rain, so Mother Earth, please ask your sister in the sky to send us a great storm, a storm to heal our country,” she said.

Regional people on NDIS plans, still waiting months

Stuck for school holiday ideas? Reading Club is here

ON International Day of Persons with a Disability last Tuesday, Marathon Health confirmed some country Australians are waiting months to access specialist support through their NDIS plans. “The gap between rural healthcare and our metro counterparts is obvious, and it’s something we are committed to addressing,” Marathon Health service delivery executive manager Justine Summers said. “We’re working with people who struggle to leave their houses. They can’t travel two towns over to see their specialists, so without getting the care they need locally – or having a dedicated support worker to drive them to their appointments – what chance of a fulfilled life do they have?” she said. “People shouldn’t be disadvantaged to the care they need just because of where they live.”

By LYDIA PEDRANA THE Summer Reading Club has returned to Macquarie Regional Library giving local kids aged 0 to 18 a reason to beat the sweltering heat while improving their reading skills. The program, which is also run in libraries across the nation, sees kids log their reading time and collect prizes and incentives as they hit certain milestones along the way. Last year, over 43,000 Australia children registered, reading more than 360,000 books between them. This year’s theme is ‘A Roomful of Stories’ and aims to encourage young readers to discover new worlds as they explore and connect with books and a range of interactive activities held in the library. To join the free program, children need to register at the library and receive their registration kit.

New Dialysis Unit ready to open By KEN SMITH THE first patients will be received at the recently completed Dialysis Unit at Dubbo Hospital next Monday, December 9. The dialysis unit provides the extra space needed to deliver this life-saving service to more patients from regional and remote areas of Western NSW. The Dialysis Unit, which has been built above the Extended Day Surgery Unit,

includes 14 Dialysis Chairs, two training rooms, two consultation rooms, and an expansion zone to allow for four more chairs. Chief Executive of the Western NSW Local Health District, Scott McLachlan, joined hospital staff and the redevelopment team last Wednesday, November 27, for a traditional Aboriginal Smoking Ceremony performed by Lewis Burns to cleanse the new unit before patients move in.

Historical pub once a local pit stop

By LYDIA PEDRANA IF you have driven – or ridden – between Dubbo and Narromine in the last 159 years, you may have noticed the beaten, yet iconic old shack located close to the road, near the turn off to Rawsonville. Dubbo Photo News reader and contributor Peter Woodward sent in this incredible panorama-style shot of the complex. The image is made up of 12

photos merged together to capture its length. While it might just look like a timeworn shed now, it was actually once a pub. Built and opened by the Robinson family in 1860, the Minore Hotel, also known as ‘Dickygundy’, was a popular drinking hole for locals as well as a changing station for coach company, Cobb and Co. The site is now listed on the Cobb and Co Heritage Trail which

maps out past changing stations and watering holes from the coaching days. Passed down through the Robinson family, the hotel eventually closed, and the building became a home. 75-year-old Terry Bootle lived at the pub for about a decade during the late-70s and early-80s. At one stage, Mr Bootle’s uncle also ran a dairy and fuel station on the same property, just behind the old hotel.

Dickygundy on the Narromine Road was once a changing station for coach company, Cobb and Co. COMPOSITE PHOTO: PETER WOODWARD

Fast forward to today, and while the old Dickygundy isn’t being used, Mr Bootle thinks it has the potential to be reinvented. “I reckon you would make a bit of money today if you ran it as a B & B or cafe,” Mr Bootle told Dubbo Photo News. “It would be a good place for people to go out of town for the day and have a coffee; you could have a nice little set up there if you wanted to.

“I can’t believe that the government never made it a heritage site and put some money into it, it’s one of the few things around that’s really that old in the area.” The current owners of the property said they sadly had to have the site fenced off to protect it from vandals.

OPINION & ANALYSIS

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

We’re made to feel criminal for trying to keep our gardens alive The Editor, The absolute gall of Dubbo mayor Ben Shields and CEO Michael McMahon to track our water use with smart meters is totalitarianism at its worst. These people should have been monitoring water levels and inflows to Burrendong Dam and insisting Water NSW halt irrigation and environmental releases to ensure adequate supplies were maintained for the towns. The council didn’t do its job and now wants to make criminals out of us for trying to keep our gardens alive. The implementation of water restrictions might have been acceptable had council come out and said it would do everything in its power to ensure Water NSW did not cause this situation again. Water NSW is totally responsible for the restrictions currently imposed on all towns that draw water from Burrendong. The Dam was full three years ago. That volume of water should have lasted us for many years, with no restrictions, but Water NSW gave the bulk of it to irrigators and environmentalists. Water NSW got us into to this mess and won’t even commit to preventing it from happening again. There’s no word from Water NSW saying it’s reviewing its water release policy to ensure towns get priority over irrigators and environmentalists in future.

No word from the Dubbo MP Dugald Saunders, or the NSW Government for that matter, who spent last week touring the area. No advice from them, saying they will ensure Water NSW looks after the towns in future instead of irrigators. The council wants to encourage people to move from the city to the bush; well who’d want to come and live in a desolate dustbowl with buckets in your shower to try and maintain a garden? The NSW Government, Water NSW and Dubbo Regional Council are jointly responsible for this totally preventable town-water shortage debacle. The Council says it can’t afford to let its green spaces die, so they are using recycled water to keep them alive. Well that’s fair enough, but many Dubbo ratepayers have made large investments in their gardens and they can’t afford to let them die either, but they’ve got no choice. Those people who might have inadvertently gone over their allocation in their attempts to save their gardens from extinction are now threatened with fines and smart meter monitoring to make sure they comply. All we can do is vote these people out first chance we get and try to get representatives in there that will work for the good of the people. Steve Hodder, Dubbo

Rawsonville bridge: I’ll be lying down in front of the bulldozers The Editor, Just wanting to express my severe disappointment at the proposal to remove the Rawsonville bridge. Government bodies continue to show their complete disregard for the heritage of this state in failing to maintain and protect those historic places that they own, which the community has deemed significant and want to keep. Why even bother having a heritage system if it’s so easy to demolish a heritage item? Once we lose these magnificent structures they are gone forever,

to be replaced with yet another banal concrete bridge. At the very least they could keep the bridge in its original location with an adjoining concrete bridge on a realigned road, though this is a far poorer option compared to simply maintaining it in its currently satisfactory condition. I know I’ll be lying down in front of the bulldozers, who will join me? Peter, Dubbo (full name provided)

Opposed to casino proposal The Editor, Re: “Could Dubbo be the new Vegas?”, Cr John Ryan’s proposal

for a Dubbo casino, Dubbo Photo News, November 28. I am strongly opposed to this idea. Your article says it “could bring economic benefits for our region”, but at what social cost. My experience with gambling is that the poorer members of the community end up spending more of their money on such activities. Many people would like to see poker machines removed from hotels. This was the policy of the Greens in Tasmania a few years ago. There are enough opportunities to gamble on the horses, dogs, footy, etc. Chris, Dubbo (full name provided)

You should need a licence to post on Facebook John Ryan ❚ OPINION

HERE’S a radical idea – Facebook shouldn’t allow people to make comments on the platform until they’ve passed a licence test. The social media giant has recently taken away the indicators which show how many likes different posts have received and now it’s time to take the next step. I’m proposing a system of L and P plates and, just like having your Driver Licence, you can be fined, receive demerit points or have your licence suspended if you contravene the rules by lying, providing incorrect information, bullying or intimidating, use obscene language, and so on. In other words – now the world’s residents have the capacity to be just like journalists and have their writings published, so too should Facebook ensure they follow by the rules of accuracy, defamation and the like. For all its admirable qualities such as reconnecting friends and family and disseminating global news at a frantic pace, Facebook also creates plenty of angst and disguises social trends because the silent majority in many cases

won’t air their opinions for fear that those on the extremes will harass them unmercifully in their self-proclaimed righteousness. And the platform really isn’t any sort of accurate social barometer in many cases, it just reflects what cranky, one-issue people think about specific things. These extremists often private message their networks of “friends” to share their posts to make it look like the world is outraged about a third order issue, when in fact most people simply don’t care. Journalists working with professional media organisations (not all, but mostly) at least have guidelines, checks and balances; a stepped editorial process where anything written must go through a few sets of eyes before itt makes it onto the page. Now, with Facebook, that’s all gone out the window. A case in point from this week is where I was attacked on Facebook about an article I wrote in the paper. I wasn’t contacted for comment by this person – that’s what a journalist or a seeker of the truth would do, but this wasn’t about the truth – it’s about a belief system where individuals want to believe what they want to believe, and the truth be damned. I have no idea how many people read and shared that post,

but by authentic documentation, I It used to be that people who had was quickly able to prove that the a say in the public arena were jourclaims were untrue. nalists, or those being interviewed A major problem is that it was (and potentially incorrectly editposted and shared online for days ed by journalists or producers), or before it was brought to my atten- opinion writers, or those who were tion, so who knows how many peo- lucky enough to get published as a ple now believe I’m a liar, despite letter to the editor.

At its worst, Facebook lies, vilification and bullying have ended in suicide and attempts at self-harm, so this is an issue the world’s policy makers really need to act on. We can’t have kids and young people in particular wanting to take their own lives just because a popular bully gets a few mates to gang up on them – that in itself is obscene. There is a weird dynamic when it comes to posting online, where ` restraint doesn’t seem to enter the We can’t have kids and equation. young people in particular There are reportedly instances where career criminals, who wanting to take their wouldn’t dare hold conversations own lives just because a in their cars and homes because popular bully gets a few convinced they’re being mates to gang up on them – they’re bugged by the cops, jump on Facethat in itself is obscene... a book and whack their activities

up online – obviously many humans aren’t wired correctly when it comes to showing restraint in this area. I’ve been the subject of plenty of adverse comments online in the past week and, incredibly, a huge majority of those comments showed that the people making them hadn’t read past the headline, and didn’t have even a basic understanding of what I’d said. The consolation prize is that none of this really matters in the grand scheme of things – despite being at the forefront of media issues, the greatest reaction by far to anything I was involved with on Facebook this past week or so was a 20-second clip of me starting the 308 Holden V8 motor in an old H.J. Holden Premier station wagon I’ve got – it was the first time the motor had been run since 1991. That shows what’s really important to people. And when I get the H.J. wagon on the road, I have to make sure to exercise normal restraint and not speed or use my phone while driving – that’s a danger to other humans, and besides, I don’t want to get fined or lose my licence. z Note: John Ryan is also a councillor on Dubbo Regional Council, and is also employed part-time by Landcare. He writes here in his capacity as a journalist.

& Thumbs Up and thanks to Cathy the friendly staff member maintaining Orana Mall as a clean and safe place. During my recent visit, the ATM stopped working while a customer in front of me was trying to use it – a withdrawal was registered but no cash dispensed. I found Cathy and she had a ready-made ‘out of order’ sign to post on the screen so that other people were safe from another cashless transaction. I was so thankful as I was next in line to use the ATM. Today, I returned to Orana Mall to check Cathy’s name. Easy to ﬁnd her as she was working hard as usual.

Thumbs Up to all of the wonderful staff who took care of me when I wound up spending an unplanned few days in hospital, including emergency surgery. Everyone, from the ED staff, the ward nurses, the doctors and even the cleaning staff were so lovely and made me feel as comfortable as possible in a difficult time. Thank-you so much!

Thumbs Up to the Wellington ambos and hospital staff who helped me on Friday night. Very professional and much appreciated. Thank you greatly.

Rotary backs young future leaders Contributed by THE ROTARY CLUB OF DUBBO MACQUARIE IT is always gratifying to be able to assist young people to achieve their potential, but when those young people are of the calibre of two special guests of the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie last week, it is even more special. India de Sousa Shaw and Thomas Shelley are recent "graduates" of RYPEN (Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment) held earlier this year at Tea Gardens, and came to check in with the club, which sponsored their attendance at the camp. India (a student at Dubbo Christian School) said she was encouraged to put her hand up for the program by the idea of self-development. She had just returned from a short-term exchange to Japan (through Dubbo Regional Council's sister-city program) and felt the RYPEN program would be a natural progression to build on her experience of the world. India told us the program's activities helped develop her confidence and self-esteem, along with enriching her goal setting skills. She is hoping to embark on a longer-term exchange to Japan in the future.

Thomas, a student at Macquarie Anglican Grammar, confessed to club members that his greatest fear in life is public speaking – although all agreed that wasn’t immediately obvious from the dignified and mature way this young man spoke of his RYPEN experience.

He threw his hat in the ring for the program as a way to overcome this fear, and says his confidence has been bolstered immeasurably by the experience. Thomas also said the goal-setting skills imparted at the RYPEN camp were invaluable. Congratulations to both India

and Thomas who are wonderful ambassadors not only for their schools but for youth as a whole. The Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie members are very proud to have been able to send them along to RYPEN as outstanding young representatives of our city and the club.

Thumbs Up and a big thankyou to Buninyong Preschool for making a great and enjoyable Grandparent’s Day.

Thumbs Up to the wonderful staff at the Salvation Army Store who are always welcoming visitors with a smile and hello. Merry Christmas to all.

Thumbs Up to Playmates Cottage staff, especially Ben who is always friendly, helpful and kind to the children – from a grateful grandmother.

Thumbs Up to Anthony from Anthony Gemmel Electrical for his speedy and excellent service. From a very happy customer.

Thumbs Up to the new Outback Trek Cafe for their amazing food and great service. Yum and what a great asset to Dubbo.

The Pear Tree Café and Catering The Pear Tree Café and Catering’s idyllic garden setting is a green and leafy sanctuary offering a place to unwind or catch up with friends over fresh home-made fare, Monday to Friday, 10am to 5pm. From mid-January 2020 we’re excited to announce we’ll offer breakfast too, from 7.30am weekdays. We can’t wait to share our new menu but can say the master behind its incredible choices will be talented local chef Clint Green. To prepare for the New Year we need to renovate so we’re closing from Monday, December 15, to mid-January 2020. Until then, please remember the Pear Tree Café is child friendly and boasts coloured pencils practically on tap and $2 chocolate crackles. For your last-minute Christmas Shopping visit our “pop-up” verandah shop courtesy of the Swish Gallery on Thursday and Friday, December 12 and 13, 2019. What a Great Dubbo Business!

Baking with Farmer’s Bakehouse There’s a lot to love about Christmas – food, family and quality time are just a few of our favourites – and as we head into this magical time of the year, we wanted to share with you some of our own tried and tested family recipes. This week we share a twist on a classic and don’t forget to grab next week’s edition too as we let you in on the secrets behind an indulgent little chocolate treat the kids will love. The best part? Both of our recipes will win you some raving fans, without taking all day.

Pineapple Fruit Cake

Personally, I love this cake and it ticks all the boxes for the festive season - moist, very fruity and ($6< WR PDNH 3UHS WLPH LV RQO\ PLQXWHV GHSHQGLQJ RQ KRZ HI¿FLHQW \RX DUH LQ WKH NLWFKHQ but I’d suggest you let the kids try this one out. It won’t be hard to convert kids to cooking with easy recipes and delicious recipes like this.

Ingredients:

500gms Mixed Dried Fruit 440gms of Crushed Pineapple, undrained 1 Cup of Sugar 125gms Butter, chopped 1 teaspoon of mixed spice ½ teaspoon cinnamon 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda 2 eggs beaten FXS VHOI UDLVLQJ ÀRXU FXS RI SODLQ ÀRXU

Method: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Place fruit, crushed pineapple, butter, sugar and spices in a saucepan. Boil for 5 minutes Add bicarbonate of soda. Turn off heat and allow to cool. Preheat oven to 160 degrees Celsius and line your tin with baking paper $GG HJJV DQG ÀRXU DQG PL[ XQWLO FRQVLVWHQW Pour into prepared cake tin and bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden Place foil over the top and continue to bake for another 50 minutes before checking the centre of cake is set.

PUZZLE EXTRA GO FIGURE

MEGA MAZE

SPOT THE DIFFERENCE

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.

This will help to dry out the surface, giving you a good sear instead of a steam. Make sure your pan is hot, and don’t leave the stove or grill, because scallops don’t take more than 1 1/2 minutes per side.

TOUCH

St Mary’s Wellington in State Touch top six By GEOFF MANN THE story of St Mary’s “Wolf Pack” nursery continues. Last week the team finished sixth in NSW All Schools, a remarkable achievement for a very young team. For the third straight year, St Mary’s had earned their place in the NSW Touch Football Year 7/8 State Finals after impressive wins in the Regionals. The event almost cancelled due to bushfire smoke hovering over Sydney but went ahead with 41 teams representing 33 schools, including Kingscliff High School and Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar from the Far North Coast, Guyra High School from the North West of the state, and Kildare from southern as well as a number of metropolitan teams from Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong. “St Mary’s team went to work early, defeating Holy Spirit Bellambi 1-0 then Oxford Grammar School 3-1 in a great display of running touch. The girls then had a

tight 2-2 draw against the strong Hunter Sports High School and finished their last pool match with a 4-2 win over Kingscliff which meant they undefeated leaders in Pool A,” teacher Alistaire Thompson proclaimed proudly. “Already the team had far exceeded their own expectations by a huge margin by making the quarter finals. The girls then took on another specialist group from Hills Sports High School. In a match that had almost everything, our St Mary’s Wolf Pack finished extremely strongly. They went down fighting 3-2. Hills finished runners-up in the grand final against Mackellar, beaten 3-2 in extra time drop off,” Alistaire told Dubbo Photo News. “St Mary’s Catholic School Wolf Pack, Sixth in NSW. How incredible is that,” he said with pride! The team, probably the youngest to ever make it to State, heads to Queensland for the National Championships next year.

“They have shown all year that it truly is the size of the heart that matters by continually proving the doubters wrong,” Mr Thompson said, adding that the girls were also fortunate to meet Australian representative Dani Davis who was watching the future all-stars. “The Wolf Pack also had

Red letter day for Bettor Enforce By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL THE second Red Ochre Mares Classic for 2019 was run against a backdrop of spectators draped in the colour of the day. It was a colourful scene as Bettor Enforce raced home to take the $50,000 Red Ochre (Group 2) Classic. “There were plenty of new faces amongst the regular harness racing crowd, all celebrating the Red Ochre. They witnessed some fast and competitive racing with horses and drivers from all over the state,” Dubbo Harness Racing Club (DHRC) committee member Graham Phipps remarked. “It was so good to introduce newcomers and equally pleasing to have many of the Gilgandra crowd back just a week after the Cup and Windmill meeting,” Red Ochre presentation: DHRC President Len Edwards, Brett Wrigley, Harness Racing NSW (HRNSW) President Rod Smith, Luke McCarthy (driver), HRNSW Director Graham added.

“Sodo” turns 80

Ducks scramble for hams By GEOFF MANN

RONNY Soden was a legendary boxer and one of Macquarie rugby league’s most enduring characters. Last week he turned 80 and family and friends gathered at the RSL to celebrate another “big 0”. On the same day son Mark turned 50, so the pair blew out “a lot of candles” between them! Ron was a state and national title holder,

rated in the ranks of the best in Australia. He fought in troupes with Dennis Ritchie and the late Tom “Bomber” Carney and played football in a great era with Macquarie from the late ‘50s right up until the early ‘80s. The highly regarded clubman was delighted to have so many former colleagues from all spheres of his colourful life on hand for the happy occasion.

Ducks reunited: Henry Wilcockson and Ron Soden with half-centurion Mark. Sodo Jnr captained Australian Schoolboys on a tour of England before forging a great career with the North Sydney Bears. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

WITH Christmas only three weeks away, 26 Ducks pulled on their togs to grab a spread of the festival spoils. Judy Walsh says it was a mad scramble and there were plenty of quacky girls Ducks by the days end, but she had a word of solace for one of the more seasoned Sunday morning swimmers. “One had to commiserate with Norm Bahr after he took line honours in the 50 metre Freestyle and the 25 metres Backstroke/25 metre Breaststroke finals and didn’t quite get his timing right. Despite using all his usual repertoire of tricks to beat the judges, there was no sympathy for the regular. “What an unlucky Ducky,” Judy smiled. There’s always next Sunday, Norm! “Jeff Dawes was very happy with himself when the flock gave him a big cheer for beating Norm. He and Craig Ross were sporting beaming bills after their aquatic exploits,” she added. Ducks are reminded that secretary Linda would like names for the Christmas

party by Friday week, December 12. It will be a great chance for everyone to reflect on the year the Ducks returned to their spiritual home. Next year is the 60th Anniversary of the formation of the Dubbo Veterans Swimming Club – The Ducks – and a committee is preparing for the celebrations. Results: December 1 z 50m freestyle – Craig Ross, John Wherritt (2), Brett Schloeffel (3), Marg Ross (4) z 25m backstroke – Rod Archer, David Sparkes (2), Glenn Smith (3), Henry Wilcockson and Brian Schloeffel both broke z 50m brace relay (free/ breast) – Brian Schloeffel/ Ron Everett, Marg Ross/ Andy Schloeffel (2), Norm Bahr/Ron Rich (3).

REPRESENTATIVE

Reith-Snare and Halloway – local names making headlines By GEOFF MANN EVA Reith-Snare is continuing her rise up the ranks of Australian hockey after being named in the national Under-20s team this week. The daughter of Fiona Reith and

Stuart Snare, who both made their presence felt on the hockey and rugby fields of Dubbo and now call Orange home, has emerged from a group of rising stars to impress Hockeyroos selectors. Eva is now within range of a cherished World Cup and Olym-

pics berth, following in the footsteps of Edwina Bone and Jade Warrender (Orange) and Mariah Williams (Parkes). Erica Halloway, who grew up in Dubbo, is in her fifth year of W-League with Western Sydney Warriors. Her father Chris was a

long-serving Gynaecologist in the city before moving to Bathurst where Erica fell in love with the world game. Erica played State League with Bathurst City Panthers as a 17-year-old in 2002, was picked for the NSW Sapphires in the for-

mer WNSL, then had a number of seasons with the Illawarra Stingrays in the NSW Premier League.

The winger was Wanderers Player of the Year in her first season and has now made over 40 appearances in the red and black.

Inset: Luke McCarthy is all smiles

IT may have been eight years since his last win in the Red Ochre Classic but Bathurst driver Luke McCarthy made sure of this one. It was Mach 2 for the richest Mares race in NSW after Harness Racing NSW amended the calendar. Scarlet Babe won the first Classic on Dubbo Show night at the end of May, but driver Bernie Hewitt couldn’t repeat the effort and one of the most skilful reinsman in the country was in total control on Bettor Enforce. In a splendid night of racing set against a canvas of red, HRNSW indicated this new format will be refined as part of a Classics series from next year. Dubbo Photo News sports photographer Mel Pocknall was out and about on a lovely Sunday afternoon and caught all the colour at the track!
