WHEN FIREWORKS AND FIDO DON’T MIX

By YVETTE AUBUSSON-FOLEY

DON’T MISS IT!

“Fireworks aren’t really a problem for pets like birds, it’s mainly dogs which have very sensitive hearing.

They can be very scary to some dogs.”

That’s the word from John Groves, manager of Furney’s Pet Extra in Dubbo, ahead of New Year celebrations across the city and the region.

“They’ll bust through a door to get inside, they can be that scared, but not all dogs. The best thing is to make sure they’re secured and if they’re not an inside dog, maybe put them in the Queensland room or in the garage.”

Mr Groves says there are special dog coats called “thunder jackets” available but he’s “a bit sceptical” of their effectiveness.

“They’re tight on the dog and supposed to make them feel safer but (they’re) very, very hot – you can’t put a jumper or a jacket on a dog at this time of year.”

According to a spokesperson for Duncan McGinness Veterinary Surgeon clinic, dogs will bark, wince, get clingy and possibly walk around nervously panting and have toilet accidents, cower, shake or hide.

Their recommendation is to stay calm around the dog if it’s showing signs of anxiety.

Bringing your dog inside and blocking out the sights and sounds

Dubbo’s New Year’s Eve Fireworks at Dubbo Showground DETAILS ❱❱ PAGE 17 before the fireworks begin will also help, especially if you are in Dubbo and in close proximity to the showground which is the venue for this year’s New Year’s Eve fireworks.

“If your dog is outside, ensure it is safe and cannot hurt itself trying to escape the noise (keep things the dog could use to jump off and over fences out of the way, keep garden tools in sheds, check the fences are up to scratch,” Duncan McGinness’ clinic suggests.

If there’s a chance the dog may escape the back yard in a panic, be sure it is microchipped and tagged with a photo number on it.

Owners are advised to first contact the Dubbo Animal Shelter in the event of a pet running away and becoming lost.

“Facebook is also becoming very useful for lost pets, so check there too,” the clinic suggests.

Council answers our readers’ water questions

By LYDIA PEDRANA WHILE the general rules of Level 4 water restrictions are easy to comprehend, recently several Dubbo Photo News readers have submitted questions to this publication requesting clarity on the nuances of the current limitations.

This week, Dubbo Photo News put questions relating to water

COUNCIL WATCH usage, evaporative air conditioners and rates to Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) CEO Michael McMahon, in the hope of helping the community members better understand what they can and can’t do while the restrictions are in place.

One person admitted they were struggling to read their wa-

ter meter and therefore monitor their 280 litre per person per day allowance.

Unfortunately, there is not a stock-standard answer to this question, as there are several different meter types and dials, however DRC has a simple step-by-step guide on its Drought Hub website which clearly explains how to read different meter types.

The guide also outlines how to calculate average weekly water use.

The brochure recommends taking two meter readings a week apart from each other, subtracting the first reading from the second and then dividing that number by the number of people in your household.

Future of water to whet growth summit appetite

By JOHN RYAN FIRE and water are the two issues currently galvanising community debate and The Future of Water will be the featured topic at Regional Development Australia (RDA) Orana’s upcoming Inland Growth Summit in Dubbo.

The one-day forum, set down for January 30 next year, will focus on the value of water as a natural resource and its future management.

RDA Orana’s director Megan Dixon said was proud to present the summit as the organisation’s first official event of 2020.

“The economic contributions of inland Australia have shaped our nation,” Ms Dixon said.

“In 2020 we will come together to examine the future of water and its impact on our lives and livelihoods.

“This year’s theme is all about the opportunities and innovations that are occur-

ring around us in terms of water management, reuse innovation and change management,” she said.

Former Nationals senator Fiona Nash, whose new role is with Charles Sturt University (CSU) as its regional development strategic advisor, will facilitate the day.

The forum agenda will focus on four areas of discussion including strategic use of water, water for community, water for business and infrastructure.

The speaking line-up will include Parkes MP Mark Coulton, Taronga Western Plains Zoo director Steve Hinks, CSIRO researcher Geoff Beeson and CSU Professor of Food Sustainability Niall Blair.

The event runs from 9am to 7pm with the main conference to be followed by networking.

Tickets are available via www.rdaorana.org.au

What’s the go with the flow?

Continued from page 1

To determine daily use, further divide the result by seven.

Another resident wrote to Dubbo Photo News asking whether evaporative air conditioners can be used during this period, and if so, can they be used in addition to the 280 litre per person per day rule?

Mr McMahon confirmed that given the extremely hot climate, evaporative coolers have not been banned, but the water used in these evaporative coolers is not in addition to the 280 litres per person per day allowance.

“Taking into consideration that evaporative coolers use up to 25 litres per hour, one person’s daily water target of 280 litres would be exceeded if the system was used for six

hours or more, which is why we encourage people to think about when they choose to use their system,” he said.

Lastly, a reader wrote in stating: “A single person with a large garden gets 280 litres per day, while a family of four with no garden gets 1120 litres per day. Both households pay the same rates. Where’s the equity in that?”

In response, the Mr McMahon said it is important to understand that despite the size of the property and how many people live there, gardens can only be watered for 30 minutes on Wednesdays and Sundays prior to 9am and after 6pm under the current Level 4 water restrictions.

“If there are four people in the home, it does not mean they can use their additional water on their

lawns/gardens,” he said.

“Water rates are charged for usage, not a flat rate, so the more water a household uses, the higher their water bill.”

Mr McMahon also explained that rates are a tax levied on the land value of rateable properties and the money collected by DRC from rates is used to fund services that benefit the general community.

Council has also warned residents to keep their water consumption in check throughout the holiday period, announcing that DRC rangers will no longer be issuing warnings for water misuse, instead dishing out on-the-spot fines of $220.

They will also be wearing new body-worn video cameras which the DRC says will “help improve safety for rangers”.

According to Dubbo Regional Council, these are some of the fee components that make up your council rates: z For properties connected to town property, therefore the more water you use the more you pay. water, a water access charge and a water usage charge are applied.

IN BRIEF

Roads to Recovery federal funding to benefit region

By NATALIE LEWIS RETIRED school teacher Pat Freeman has joined the ranks of concerned citizens worried about pedestrian access on the roads around Orana Mall.

“If you’re having a bad day or you trip, the chances of getting run over are high,” she said.

“I can get halfway across the road and something’s coming – you’ve got to be fast to get across there.

“It’s a safety hazard and I would hate to see someone injured or killed.”

Miss Freeman’s level of concern is growing as the area continues to expand through housing development.

“I’ve been more concerned over the past two years. There’s been so many houses built near Wheelers Lane since I’ve lived in that area,” she said.

“I’ve seen a lot of school children, young people, Westhaven residents and people from the nursing home walking or

on gophers in that area. It’s the kids and teenagers I’m most concerned about, the young families. It worries me.

“I know it’s a problem. Everybody seems to be in a hurry these days and the traffic bottlenecks in Wheelers Lane.”

Miss Freeman took her concerns to Dubbo Regional Council earlier in the year, and really hopes that further action can be taken.

“I spoke to Mayor Ben Shields before the last mayoral election about the possibility of building an overhead pass,” she pointed out.

She also suggested that pedestrian lights or traffic lights would help to slow the traffic down. After speaking with him in person, Miss Freeman put her thoughts into writing, to which the mayor responded back in August.

Cr Shields is still very supportive of her suggestion.

“Personally, I would like to see a signalised pedestrian crossing across that road to make it easy

for people to get from the housing estates to the shopping centre and other attractions such as Elizabeth Park,” he told Dubbo Photo News.

Cr Shields said council had carried out an investigation with Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) and the Centre for Road Safety into the issue. He pointed out that RMS and Transport for NSW were looking into the pedestrian signals for Cobra Street, leading a survey on the possible installation of a signalised crossing close to the intersection of Cobra Street and Wheelers Lane.

Before taking any action, he said council would wait for the results of that survey.

With the complexity of approvals and construction, Cr Shields indicated that the process could take up to two years.

In Miss Freeman’s opinion, that’s a long time to wait.

“That’s a long time because they have continued building houses,” Miss Freeman said.

“There’s so many people living

there now.

“I’m just concerned that someone will be injured or killed – and that’s going to be hard for everyone – the person, the driver, the ambos,” she said.

“I’m seriously concerned because it’s a big, big problem. I’ve taken my life into my hands every time I cross that road. I would like to see council take action.”

Cr Shields said a signalised pedestrian crossing was also due to be installed between Orana Mall and Orana Gardens in the near future, making it safer and easier for people to cross Windsor Parade, a road which already features speed humps to slow down the traffic.

A pedestrian crossing for that area has been on the cards for at least a decade.

ALL 18 local councils in the Parkes electorate, which includes Dubbo, along with the Unincorporated Far West have received extra federal government funding of more than $22 million to develop safer roads under the Roads to Recovery (R2R) program.

The funding is part of the additional $138.9 million under the program which has been allocated to eligible council areas impacted by drought, and forms part of the Australian government’s recently announced drought response package.

LIFE SAVING

The heart of region’s AED project, by George Defibrillator Number 142 donated to life-saving Dubbo region campaign George Chapman with David Howard from Forty Winks in Dubbo, which is home to one of the region’s 142 AED machines. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/

By LYDIA PEDRANA

IT has been two years since Red Cross first aid trainer and Dubbo local, George Chapman, set out to strategically place life-saving Automated External Defibrillators (AED) around the region.

Today, there are more than 140 machines installed across Dubbo, Wellington and the surrounding villages, with the ones in town located roughly two minutes apart.

Defibrillator number 142 was donated earlier this month and it will be installed in Wellington’s Arboretum by the end of February 2020.

Mr Chapman became the brains behind the project after he travelled to Singapore and noticed them on every street corner.

And while the humble community man, who was named Dubbo’s 2019 Citizen of the Year, won’t take credit for the AEDs now in place, he is chuffed with the outcome.

“It’s a fantastic result,” the Dubbo Day Award recipient told Dubbo Photo News.

“I’m not responsible for all of them obviously, there was some here before we started and businesses have probably thought about it and bought them on their own, but I’d say I’m probably responsible for a bit over one hundred of them.”

The AEDs, worth approximately $3000 each, are located in su-

permarkets, chemists, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, pubs and even in Myer.

IN BRIEF

Dubbo to host NSW Junior Rugby Championships IN June 2020, Dubbo will host the 2020 under-13s Positive Rugby Foundation NSW Junior Rugby State Championships for the first time.

“Dubbo and the Central West, have a strong rugby presence and the Dubbo ‘Roos and their committee are a keen and progressive bunch who will be magnificent hosts for our Junior Showpiece,” NSW Junior Rugby Union president director Ben Gregory said.

“This will allow people from Dubbo and surrounds to witness some high-quality rugby here in our backyard, instead of going to Sydney.

We’re exceptionally proud to be able to have an affiliation with NSW Rugby and Dubbo Regional Council to bring this event to the region,” Junior Rugby Club Dubbo president Jason Blake said.

Dubbo Regional Council is supporting the event with $15,000 to help with promotion.

are and the staff are all trained in how to use them as well so there shouldn’t be a problem,” Mr Chapman said.

“Hopefully they are never used, but the statistics tell us that they

will be.

“The hospitals say they treat 322 people annually in Dubbo with heart problems and most of those do not happen at home.”

In fact, one of the machines in-

stalled by Mr Chapman was used in May to save the life of a man in his 40s who suffered a cardiac arrest while playing cricket with his son.

A council worker used the AED located at the John McGrath cricket field to shock the man and bring him back to life after he collapsed.

Now, Mr Chapman wants everyone to understand when to use an AED. “The person has to be unconscious and not breathing normally, that’s the criteria,” he said.

“In that situation, the company that supplied the unit will replace the pads and the power pack free of charge.”

For now, Mr Chapman is going to take a break and focus on his Red Cross first aid training, but he has already thought about his next major project.

“Look, when times get better, people living more than 10 minutes from an ambulance should have one, particularly out on those properties where an ambulance could take an hour to get to them,” he said.

“If I was going to do it again, it would be the properties I’d be looking at.”

With many more packages to be delivered to farmers and an “emergency larder” for those families who may have been missed in the initial round, the St Vincent de Paul volunteers and a cross-section of parishioners made their way to school or work.

PET FRIENDLY CELEBRATION

Top tips for furry friends and fireworks

By LYDIA PEDRANA THE sight and sound of colourful, popping fireworks iss synonymous with New Year’s Eve ve festivities around the world, however it’s likely your furry friends nds will not be so impressed by the noisy pyrotechnics.

As the new decade quickly ickly approaches, the RSPCA is reminding pet owners thatt many animals are terrified of fireworks displays which can indirectly rectly pose risks to animal safety ety by causing them to take flight ght in an effort to escape the noise. e.

“Dogs and horses in particuarticular often try to run awayy when frightened by fireworks, and may injure themselves,” an RSPCA NSW spokesperson said..

“Many of these animals als can end up several kilometres es from home.

“Dogs have been known wn to jump through plate glasss windows to escape loud noises, ses, and easily jump over, or dig their way under fences that would d normally contain them.”

The RSPCA shared its top tips for preparing your canine nine before ringing in 2020: z Exercise your dog before fore the fireworks start and feed them a meal a couple of hourss afterwards.

CREATIVE WRITING

IN BRIEF

Young poet dreading the drought

By NATALIE LEWIS

THE devastation of drought has provided the inspiration for a piece written by a young Dubbo creative.

Ten-year-old Bonnie Peel penned a poem as part of a school literacy activity. It now has pride of place on the family fridge and her grandmother Nyasa Holmes was impressed by the maturity expressed in Bonnie’s writing.

“This simple little poem sums up this terrible drought in such a succinct manner,” she told Dubbo Photo News. “It just stood out to me.”

The Year 4 student, who lives on a property north-east of Dubbo, was humble about her work which centres on the effects of extreme conditions.

“It’s about the drought, it’s really dry. I was thinking of all the farmers, how they are suffering from all the dryness. It’s good to let them know we are thinking of them.”

Bonnie also enjoys drawing and painting and attends Dubbo Public School.

Her mum Genevieve expressed her pride in Bonnie’s work.

“Bonnie is a deep thinker and we are very proud of her,” she said.

DROUGHT – By Bonnie Peel.

It’s a skeleton in the dust, The farmer’s gone bust, Hay’s the price of gold, So all the cattle sold, Will it ever rain again?

Keep watch on elderly neighbours during heat RESIDENTS are asked to monitor the health and wellbeing of their elderly neighbours during the summer.

Elderly people lose the ability to naturally regulate their body temperature, making them vulnerable to heat related conditions.

Dubbo Regional Council has also issued a statement encouraging sensible use of water during summer, especially on days when the mercury nudges into the 40s.

“At home, limit use of washing machines and dish washers. They add to heat in the home and unless there is a full load, save water and wait until washing machines and dish washers are full,” DRC CEO Michael McMahon said.

NSW Health recommends cold drinks and smaller cold meals such as salads and fruit on hot days. Other health tips include wearing light coloured, loose fitting clothes made from natural fibres like cotton, staying out of the sun where possible and to avoid being outdoors between 11am and 5pm.

COUNCIL WATCH

Fire-fighting family keeps community service flame burning

By JOHN RYAN AS firefighters mourn the death of two volunteers and the nation spends its Christmas staring down the barrel of widespread catastrophic wildfires that have been described as “unstoppable”, the men and women who are battling to save lives and property are being praised by a grateful nation.

Stories abound of exhausted fire crews walking into coffee shops, only to find patrons fighting to pay for food and drinks, and social media is in overdrive with vision of apocalyptic firestorms shooting 30 metres into the air, alongside comments of thankfulness for the bravery displayed by

Michael McMahon, Head Ranger Rob Dario and Mayor Ben Shields.

Water police: Rangers wearing body cameras

those who put their lives on the line.

For generations of the Hawkins family, protecting the community has been a way of life and now they’re celebrating 100 years in various uniforms.

The Hawkins first became involved with what was initially called Board of Fire Commissioners of NSW in 1919, the organisation which was rebadged NSW Fire Brigades and which is known these days as Fire and Rescue NSW (FRNSW).

Alfred Thomas Hawkins joined FRNSW on December 15, 1919, at West Wyalong Station 499.

In 1927, Alfred moved his family to Narromine where he established an engineering business that

later became the Ford dealership in Derribong Street.

Alfred started a campaign on October 24, 1927, to form a fire brigade in Narromine, writing to the then Board of Fire Commissioners of NSW and received his first response from that body on September 1, 1927.

Alfred kept up his campaign, writing to the then Narromine Municipal Council many times to gain its support.

After a tireless effort, and coinciding with the construction of reticulating water mains being laid in Narromine, the town took delivery of its first ever fire truck on November 27, 1929.

This truck was first kept

at Alfred’s engineering workshop until the current fire station 401 was built and opened in June 1932.

Alfred was appointed as the first captain and doubled as the engine keeper, meaning it was his job to ensure the fire truck was ready to go 24/7.

In 1934, Alfred returned to England to study and on August 1 that same year, Chris Woolfe was appointed as the new captain, while Alfred’s son Cyril was appointed engine keeper.

Cyril Hawkins had initially joined the brigade in West Wyalong in 1926 and joined Narromine brigade in 1930, serving until 1947.

Cyril’s son Robert joined

in 1969, becoming captain in 1985, and retiring in 2009. He was awarded the Australian Fire Service Medal (AFSM) in 2010.

In 2010, Lucas Walsh, Robert’s grandson, joined FRNSW in Narromine and has recently been appointed as engine keeper.

Other Hawkins family members to serve FRNSW in Narromine include Bernard Hawkins, 1949-1950, and Montague Hawkins, 1938-1956.

Well known Narromine local, Dot Maher, is the granddaughter of Alfred Hawkins.

This piece of history illustrates better than anything else how positive role models can inspire lifetimes of community service.

DUBBO Regional Council rangers are now equipped with body-worn video (BWV) cameras to assist them while issuing $220 on-thespot fines to people blatantly flouting the water restrictions.

“These new body-worn cameras will help our rangers document incidents and gather evidence during their day-to-day operations as public officials,” said Cr Ben Shields.

Council CEO Michael McMahon says council officers have regulatory powers to enter into properties to investigate breaches of the Local Government Act, which includes water misuse.

“These powers enable officers to do such things as inspect anything on the premises outside the home, take measurements, ask questions, examine and test any meter, measure water supply, and take samples or photos,” Mr McMahon said.

Rangers have been patrolling areas that have town water available, and are asking for the public to assist by reporting any potential breaches of water use.

The BWVs will also be used during the execution of other ranger duties such as footpath obstructions, dangerous/attack animals, cat traps, stray animals and incidents of illegal rubbish dumping.

AQUAPONICS WORKSHOP

Food sustainability the “most powerful message in the world”

By JOHN RYAN THREE groups braved Saturday’s 46-degree heat to learn more about growing fish and vegetables in a closed system with minimal water but according to Aqualife Industries’ Ian Campbell, it’s not just about producing food, it’s about building stronger communities.

The aquaponics expert delivered the workshops at South Dubbo Veterans and Community Shed and said it’s vital to have such a community group with a charter of doing good things that’s close to schools as an ideal learning environment to prepare people for jobs that will be sustainable into the future.

“I think this location has the potential to be the aquaponics hub of the central west, I really do. With the guys here, this could be the powerhouse that’s needed,” Mr Campbell said.

“That’s the reason I’m here – it’s all about sustainability and it’s all about jobs, economics can’t go ahead without ecology and the ecology can’t go ahead without the economics so aquaponics have the ability to do both.

“I think being able to grow food sustainably is the most powerful message in the world. We live on the driest habitable continent on earth and we’re the highest users of water so we have to change. It’s not a matter of if, but when.”

Mr Campbell praised the Guiding Rural and Outback Well-being (GROW) Program developed

by Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) Alcohol and Drugs program manager Dave Honeysett and said it’s the most exciting partnership he’s ever been involved with.

“I reckon Dave Honeysett from the Flying Doctors should be given an Order of Australia because he has vision and there’s not many people in this country who have

vision and also have on-ground plans to help remote communities get back on their feet. That’s why I’m so passionate about this and he’s developed a great team around him as well,” Mr Campbell said, pointing out how many outback kids he’s come across who have been disengaged at school but have seen a future in this initiative.

“That’s the most exciting bit, the kids who are on the fringe and who may be behind at school but could be tomorrow’s leaders – not because they’re academically focussed but because this program can inspire their passion. It’s great seeing kids who’ve given up on mainstream actually seeing this as part of their future.

Mr Campbell said he believes this is a look a 100-year project: 100 years to “change attitudes”.

“These marginalised kids who buy into the GROW program where all else has failed, will be helping to change these attitudes

` We live on the driest habitable continent on earth and we’re the highest users of water so we have to change.

It’s not a matter of if, but when. a – Ian Campbell, Aqualife Industries

and that will create opportunity for kids in future generations. The attitude is about water and about life itself, and bringing hope to outback communities that currently don’t feel they have any.”

And he’s over the moon that two of the companies he works with that are based nearer the coast, Pond Max and Scuba Pro, are also sponsoring this outback initiative.

Dave Honeysett said he couldn’t be happier with the initial response to the GROW program.

“It’s a community project and the South Dubbo Veterans and Community Shed will be a big linkage point for the south Dubbo community in particular. The aquaponics unit is a fantastic conduit to get people to come in from the community, participate in growing fresh food, vegetables, fish, yabbies and what the RFDS program will seek to do is provide holistic support around mental health, drug and alcohol, dietary, an exercise program, we’ll partner with NSW Health and other non-government organisations and their services to provide all of this, free of charge, to the community,” Mr Honeysett said.

He believes it’s a fantastic opportunity for the community, particularly those in south Dubbo to get involved in a project which can offer so much education and value and support around mental health.

“Just to bring alive a little community shed like this with a pro-

ject that’ll link the community together, across all demographics, elderly residents, kids and everyone in between – they can do a hell of a lot with this.”

South Shed secretary, Adam Clark, said the response has been amazing, even without the aquaponics set-up having yet been built, and he believes partnerships to establish solid and inclusive community hubs will provide the future foundational support for a range of volunteer organisations, many of which are struggling.

“Everyone seems unable to reach out from their own little group because that’s what we’re used to and I think something like the South Shed is uniquely situated to bring a lot of various community groups together and facilitate them in doing what they want to do as opposed to having to do all the red-tape stuff. They will be able to focus on the things they love – the hands-on, on-ground activity without having to jump through all those bureaucratic hoops,” Mr Clark said.

He believes it’s vital to collaborate with other organisations, to join together and leverage skills and resources to create something that’s much greater than the sum of its parts.

“It also spreads the volunteer load. You don’t feel like you have so much weight on your own shoulders when you have other like-minded community people helping you and you become capable of far more than you think.

“You can come up against the wall and then someone jumps in with different skills and they might say, “Well, that’s really easy” and they knock it over in five minutes and it not only gets that work done, but it teaches you how to do that task as well. Suddenly, the scope of what you can do multiplies.”

Employment agencies: how do they work?

NO matter what your career interests and availabilities, you can improve your chances of landing the right job by partnering with an employment agency.

Here’s what you need to do to obtain the support and expertise of a qualified professional who can optimise your visibility on the job market.

The first step involves sending your resumé and cover letter to a reputable agency. Choose a dynamic agency specialised in your industry of choice that

regularly publishes job offers online.

If your CV captures the attention of a recruiter, he or she will contact you for an initial phone interview.

Next, you will be invited to meet in person. Prepare for the meeting like you would for a job interview with a potential employer.

During the initial interview, the recruiter will draft a profile of your skills and experience and ask a series of questions

pertaining to your career goals, salary expectations, availabilities, etc. If applicable, he or she will ask you to take certain skill tests (grammar, data entry, etc.) to better assess your capabilities.

What happens if your profile matches an open position? In that case, the agency will submit an application on your behalf. At this point, you will most likely be summoned for another interview; however, this time it’s up to the employer to decide

whether or not you’re the right candidate for the job.

Partnering with an employment agency can open the door to many opportunities, both permanent and temporary. What’s more, most of these agencies provide their services to job hunters free of charge, as it’s the employers in search of personnel that pay the costs related to finding the right man or woman for the job.

It’s up to you to seize the opportunity!

Gail’s generous gesture lights up community spirit

By JOHN RYAN FOR years Dubbo’s Fletcher family has paid for the giant fireworks display on New Year’s Eve. What’s far less well known is that Gail Fletcher, Roger’s wife – the matriarch of the family as well as being his business partner who owns 50 per cent of Fletcher International Exports – is the one behind this long-term initiative to sponsor the fireworks.

Gail isn’t someone who seeks the limelight but a company spokesper-

son told Dubbo Photo News she’s always been keen to help the entire community come together in many ways.

“She wanted to do something special for all the family and kids of her workers and for all the kids of the Dubbo community,” the spokesperson said.

“As a thank-you and a way to ring in the New Year, Gail insisted it be only a gold coin donation on entry for a charity, to allow all the kids of our community to see the magic of a lit-up sky.”

What makes you sad? When Mum goes to work What are you afraid of? Oh, let me think... The Ghost Train! I went on it one time and it was so scary What are you really good at? Let me think...

Drawing Lightning McQueen!

What is your favourite thing to eat for lunch?

Vegemite toast What is your favourite fruit? Apples red ones What do you want to be when you grow up? A fire fighter – I like putting out fires How old is grown up? 30!

CRITICALLY acclaimed Australian songwriter and new dad, Jack Carty, will be appearing in concert at Marthaguy Hall on the Australia Day long weekend.

Touring with the Festival of Small Halls to Orange, Marthaguy, Goulburn, and further afield, it will be the first time Carty has performed in the region but he remembers coming to the zoo as a child.

“I also remember buying shoes but that’s all,” he laughed. “I have some good friends out this way too, so I’m looking forward to catching up.”

Festival of Small Halls is a series of tours which sends the best folk and contemporary acoustic artists on the road to tiny halls in communities all over Australia.

It’s a good thing travel inspires the Ballina-born singer because he loves the chance to tell stories.

“I was always into storytelling and the craft of song writing always intrigued me, and lyrics in particular. Like, how they’re structured and why they make you feel a certain way,” he said.

Described as writing with honesty, patience and love, Mr Carty is anticipating the impact he may have on communities affected by drought.

“I am really good mates with one of the guys who’s just finished a Festival of Small Halls tour, and he said it really felt like a cathartic thing for a lot of the communities. He said at times it felt quite emotional.”

Mr Carty’s melodic music and resonant voice is bound to pull at the heart strings, as it’s done for audiences in the UK, Europe, North America, New Zealand and Australia since he first started recording and releasing original music in 2010.

He now has five full-length studio albums and two EPs and has shared the stage with the likes of Katie Noonan, Josh Pyke, Bernard Fanning, Matt Corby and Lisa Mitchell.

For this tour, Scottish performer Siobhan Miller will also be appearing in concert.

Jack has recently returned from two years touring, writing and collaborating from a home base in London and is assured to leave Festival of Small Halls audiences wanting more.

TAURUS: You’ll be responsible for an event that brings together many of your closest friends and family members. You’ll also accomplish something that will be remembered for many years. If you’re single, a quiet office will make you see a colleague in a new light.

GEMINI: It’s time to clean up after a season of parties. You’re a great host and organised a memorable event for your whole family. Don’t be late for the countdown on New Year’s Eve! CANCER: If you buy a lottery ticket with family, don’t be surprised if you find yourselves with the means to finish off the year with a group vacation. At the very least, lots of fun will be had, and you’ll be on the receiving

4 4 4 end of an immense generosity.

LEO: Someone divulges a family secret to you this week. You’ll be particularly sensitive and may make a speech that will move more than one person. You’ll need to deal with an emergency at work, even if you’re at a party.

VIRGO: It may be a good idea to distance yourself from conflicts in the family, especially if they don’t concern you. Or, you could save a situation by convincing two family members to bury the hatchet.

LIBRA: You’re not one to sit idly by so whether you’re the host or not, you’ll be involved in serving guests and making them feel welcome. In your love life, the magic of the holidays will help rekindle the spark.

SCORPIO: You’ll find yourself in the spotlight this week. You’ll talk to everyone and make them laugh with your biting sarcasm. You may even be applauded, which would be great for your self-esteem.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll spend the week with your family and devote much of your time to your children or elderly parents. You’ll also find a way to take a moment for yourself.

A little alone time is great for the imagination.

CAPRICORN: You won’t keep your opinions to yourself this week. You put yourself in charge so that things go perfectly. Even if you step on some toes, the important thing is that you see tangible results.

AQUARIUS: You’ll have energy to spare this week. Despite a tight budget, the events that you organise are sure to be spectacular, thanks to your remarkable ideas and determination. Also, you can expect lots of affection in your relationship over the next few days.

PISCES: There’s lots going on this week, and your numerous initiatives will surprise even you. People will blindly follow you, even if your ideas seem a bit crazy. You’ll organise a spontaneous party.

The luckiest signs this week: Taurus, Gemini and Cancer.

ADVERTORIAL

Welcome Alex Bragg, to Owen’s Tattoo Studio Dubbo Owen’s Tattoo Studio on Talbragar Street, Dubbo, is a spacious, pristine, one-stop shop for getting inked.

The studio recently welcomed tattoo professional Alex Bragg who brings quality experience to the Central West’s leading tattoo studio and offers professional body piercing services. A selection of body piercing jewellery is also in store.

Owner, Owen Dyas and Alex have a dizzying selection of designs on offer and can custom design to suit client needs.

Owen’s 26 years in the industry has been influenced by the likes of world-renowned tattoo artists, American Ed Hardy and Australian Tony Cohen, and he has worked at various tattoo studios throughout his career, including Celtic Dragon and Tony Cohen’s Illustrated Man Tattoo Studios in Sydney.

For the uninitiated, Americana tattoo designs are bold and simple. Anchors, roses, ships, pin-up girls, skulls, panthers and swords are some common designs for both men and women.

The style truly found its voice in the 1940s and 1950s, during and after WWII. Modern Japanese tattoo sleeve designs can trace their roots back to detailed tapestries and silk kimono patterns worn by wealthy, elite Japanese families during the colonial era.

Owen and Alex are masters in black and grey tattooing as well. This style was popularised in the 1970s by Chicano tattoo artists in Los Angeles and are popular for script work.

Script tattoos are words often with special meaning for the wearer such as inspiration or memorials.

Owen’s Tattoo Studio is skilled in tribal tattoos which are associated with Maori, Polynesian and Samoan tattoo styles, inspired in those traditional cultures as symbolis of a tribe, to represent coming-of-age, as social status or other rituals. Images representing nature, the ocean or animals are common in this style.

Owen and Alex pride themselves on providing a clean and professional environment for tattooing and body piercing.

Gift vouchers are available.

GOOD BOOKS

Plenty of great reads for summer reading Rae Craft at The Book Connection in Dubbo with “Little Farmers”, one of many recommendations for summer reading. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS/

By NATALIE LEWIS WHEN she has a few days off over Christmas, Rae Craft is looking forward to sinking her teeth into a good thriller or crime novel. As the senior sales assistant at The Book Connection, she knows her way around the book shelves and often has the opportunity for a sneak peek at what’s available to the public.

This year, Mrs Craft said there’s plenty of great reads to keep the bibliophiles happy during the summer months.

“At the moment we have quite a lot of local history books, a lot about the surrounding towns such as Bourke, Come by Chance, and along the local railways west of Nevertire,” she said.

“Gilgandra and Warren Historical Societies have also put books together about diggers. There’s a lot of different areas.”

Mrs Craft said quite a few local authors are featured, including Robert Maddison who wrote Flood Country.

“He has had experience of water theft and management and also wrote Trumped Up Corella.”

There’s plenty of Australian reads on offer, including Peter FitzSimon’s new tome about the life of Captain Cook. It’s called James Cook: The Story behind the Man who Mapped the World. For fans of Aussie comedienne, Kitty Flanagan, there’s 488 Rules for Life.

“There are a couple of biographies of Bob Hawke as well,” Mrs Craft explained.

“Then there’s the Betoota Advocate’s How Good’s Australia. And we have copies of The Strayan Dictionary (by Dom Knight).

“And Jeffery Archer (Nothing Ventured) and Di Morrissey (The Last Paradise) both have new book releases.”

The home and surrounds have not been neglected with a range of titles about cooking and gardening on offer.

“We are not selling a lot of craft but elite cookbooks are going well.

EMY LOU

There’s also the good old Yate’s Garden Guide,” Mrs Craft said.

In the children’s book section, there’s a lot of traditional volumes to treasure including Usborne fairy tales, Aesop’s Fables and some lovely picture books.

Mrs Craft said there is a new local author on the scene whose books are selling like hotcakes.

“Felicity Newton has written a book called Are We There Yet, Grandma? We’ve actually sold a lot – close to 30. It’s going really

well.”

And for those people still in search of the perfect gift on Christmas Eve, Mrs Craft had the best idea.

“When all else fails, get a gift voucher,” she said.

We’ve got your back: Maintenance crew’s Herculean effort to help firies EMERGENCY REPORT

By JOHN RYAN FRONTLINE firefighters are the people making the news this past few weeks but for every firie in the field there are probably 10 people helping to make it happen by supporting the coordinated effort.

Beal Aircraft Maintenance at Dubbo Regional Airport has been doing its part, working around the clock to keep some planes in the air for the coastal fires.

Saturday was a massive day, with Cessna 182P, VH-HXI, in for its 100-hourly check.

The Cessna is owned and operated by Troy Thomas who runs a flying training school and aircraft charters from Dubbo and Orange airports.

VH-HXI has been working

around Nowra on the south coast chasing the horrendous fires down there, a critical part of the fire-fighting effort.

Bruce Beal, Chris Jones and Brad Naylor worked well into the night to ensure the 182 was ready to go as soon as possible, the hangar temperature was still reading at 38 degrees at 10pm when this picture was taken.

Hats off to everyone involved in this Herculean effort to save lives and property.

Book Connection owner Dave Pankhurst is pleased with how well sales are going across the store during the busy Christmas season.

“We’re travelling quite well,” he said. “Our study on competing with online or Big W is to hit where they aren’t. It means that we focus on the areas where they are not participating or are very weak in their performance. We probably have the advantage of being quite remote from metropolitan areas, which I hear are declining.”

Mr Pankhurst said books are often published online these days which eliminates the need for physical distribution.

“Authors to Amazon has been a revolution in the industry,” he said. “One of my publishers of academia titles was selling to them. It’s because it can be really challenging.”

The best part about being a local book retailer is having the local connection and offering a bricks and mortar experience, which includes the staff sharing their knowledge about the stock.

“The major distributors such as Amazon look to go into a market to cut the price down and then they take over the industry.

“But we offer something else, we recently donated books to a fundraiser driven by Macca (Ian McNamara) to the Gulargambone Hotel. They auctioned the books and raised $1300. You wouldn’t get Amazon doing anything like that.

“We love our books, it’s our social life. You get to know the people you are doing business with. It doesn’t mean it isn’t a challenge.

But you adapt to make sure you are on target.”

The Book Connection will be closed on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

IN BRIEF

Stuart Town and Geurie students learn the art of waste management SCHOOL students from Stuart Town and Geurie took part in an educational initiative to teach them about sustainable rubbish disposal by creating artwork designs which are now featured on the side of new bins at their local rubbish transfer stations.

Students from Geurie and Stuart Town primary schools were able to see their hard work come to fruition, when they saw their new waste transfer bins decked out in their own art.

“The message the Geurie Public School came up with for their bin was “reduce packaging for a healthier world”, which hits the nail on the head when it comes to becoming more conscious of what goes in the bin,” DRC resource recovery and efficiency manager Mark Giebel said.

Meanwhile, students at Stuart Town focussed on the importance of composting to prevent food and garden waste ending up in landfill, with their message: “Composting gives us healthy gardens and happy spirits.”

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Volunteer tragedy on fireground NSW Rural Fire Service Association President Brian McDonough has put in words what all Australians are feeling after the death of two volunteer firefighters last week.

“Rural Fire Service volunteers and staff are devastated by the tragic incident which claimed the lives of two of our own and injured three others,” Mr McDonough said.

“Our hearts are breaking for the families, friends, and fellow crew members of Deputy Captain Geoffrey Keaton and Firefighter Andrew O’Dwyer from Horsley Park Brigade.

“Our members know that what we do can be dangerous, but nothing can take away the pain we all feel when facing such terrible loss – the RFS family is in mourning.”

Road to Sydney closed YOU know there’s a crisis of almost unimaginable proportions when both roads over the mountains to Sydney were cut off by fires.

Live Traffic NSW – which is being regularly updated during the current crisis – reported on Sunday that the Great Western Highway was closed in both directions between Hartley and Mount Victoria.

Bells Line of Road and Chifley Road were also closed between Kurrajong and Lithgow.

The severe bushfires in the mountains were also stopping trains and rail replacement buses from running between Katoomba and Lithgow/Bathurst on the Blue Mountains Line.

“This means there is no access between Sydney and the state’s West so delay all travel,” was the NSW Government department’s advice at the end of the weekend.

Other road closures and problems in the Blue Mountains/Central West areas were: z Jenolan Caves Road and Edith Road closed between Hampton and Oberon z Bells Road closed in Lithgow z The Castlereagh Highway closed between Ben Bullen and Wallerawang z Megalong Road closed at Shipley Road in Megalong Valley z Bowen Mountain Road closed at Westbury Road in Bowen

Fiery Dunedoo double fatality Firies were called to a pile of rubbish alight under the LH Ford Bridge on Friday night, December 20. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

Mountain For a while, the only access to Sydney, and remember things can change in an instant, was via Newcastle and then travelling south down the Pacific Highway.

It’s important you get the latest information on roads and fires from the authorities. The Fires Near Me and Live Traffic websites are being regularly updated.

Rubbish lit under bridge IT’S incredible that anyone would light any sort of fire in these scorching temperatures, but firies were called to a pile of rubbish alight under the LH Ford Bridge on Friday night, December 20.

Dubbo has so far, thankfully, escaped the sort of devastation and destruction caused by the massive

wildfires in the Blue Mountains and up and down the coast, so to think someone believes it’s appropriate behaviour to try to spark a fire in this climate is beyond disgusting.

If you see anyone trying to start a fire, please take pictures or videos to send to police and call triple 000 immediately. This sort of thing is just not on.

POLICE will prepare a report for the coroner following a fatal single-vehicle crash near Dunedoo on December 20.

About 12.45pm last Friday, emergency services were called to Cobbora Road following reports a vehicle had left the roadway, rolled and caught on fire.

On arrival, police found a Toyota Camry sedan on its roof and engulfed in flames.

After the fire was extinguished police found the driver and passenger deceased inside the car.

occupants had not been formally identified but are believed to be a 28-yearold woman and a 29-year-old man from Coonabarabran.

An investigation is underway into the circumstances surrounding the crash, and police are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with dashcam vision to come forward.

Operation Safe Arrival is on POLICE are urging everyone travelling on the state’s roads to give way to safety this festive season.

Holiday traffic Operation Safe Arrival began just after midnight – at 12.01am – on Friday, December 20 and will end at 11.59pm on New Year’s Day. Double demerit points will be in force throughout the period for speeding, seatbelt, mobile phone and motorcycle helmet offences.

Police will also be targeting other poor driver behaviour, including drinkand drug-driving.

Police minister David Elliott, who also oversees all emergency services, says he

wants to see the community enjoy the celebrations but importantly to arrive home safely.

“Traditionally, we see more people on the roads, and out and about visiting family and friends during this busy season. It should be a time that is remembered for all the right reasons, so I urge all road users to obey the road rules and exercise extra caution,” Mr Elliott said.

“Take the appropriate measures to ensure you do not place yourselves or others at risk through poor decision making.

With double demerits and police out in force, we want everyone to make a safe arrival to their destination,” he said.

Traffic and Highway Patrol Commander Assistant Commissioner Michael Corboy said the main priority for emergency services is getting you home safe and well.

“Our message for the festive season is: “Give safety right of way”, which means keeping to the speed limit, wearing seatbelts, and helmets for motorcyclists/cyclists, having a Plan B to get home safely if you’re drinking, and focusing on the road always,” assistant commissioner Corboy said.

“No reason warrants breaking the law, compromising safety, and endangering the lives of other road users.

“Police will be on the same roads you are this Christmas. Our presence will extend from major roads and highways in cities right through to backroads in rural areas,” he said.

The NSW Centre for Road Safety has also weighed in to the holiday road safety campaign, with executive director

Bernard Carlon saying most people do the right thing when they are travelling over the Christmas and New Year period but mistakes and poor choices on the road can have tragic results for many people.

“We know that most people obey the rules and make safe choices when they’re on NSW roads – especially over the busy holiday period where there are lots of people travelling around the state,” Mr Carlon said.

“But so far this year we have lost 339 people, and that is still 339 too many.

“If you’re travelling this holiday season be mindful of your choices on the roads – make sure you’re well rested and have allowed plenty of travel to get to where you need to be without rushing,” he said. “We want everyone to arrive at their destination safely.”

Generous donation to volunteers THE outpouring of community support for firefighters battling the current wildfire crises has been overwhelming.

Meals on Wheels Central Coast sent a $2000 cheque to Meals on Wheels Dubbo to be used for the benefit of all volunteers from the Orana District.

It’s incredible to look at some of the alleged charitable organisations being funded by the commonwealth to the tune of more than $100,000, and we see struggling community groups kicking the can to help volunteers fight fires.

SUMMER HEAT

Ice, ice baby: A very cool solution when things heat up

By JOHN RYAN

WHERE ON GOOGLE EARTH ?

Where in our region is shown in this satellite image?

Clue: A place that will be open on December 25; on a street with an appropriate name.

ANSWER: SEE OUR TV+ GUIDE

WITH temperatures soaring and parties and family celebrations in full swing, ice and air conditioning have become two of the critical factors when it comes to making life worth living in Dubbo’s summer heat.

Dubbo Photo News caught up with labourer Ricky Williams picking up his daily fix of ice at the stand-alone machine near the railway line on Wheelers Lane.

“I work as a labourer and I need ice every day, it’s too bloody hot otherwise,” Mr Williams said.

“I’m out in the heat every day, everywhere – the zoo, the schools, ovals.”

He said he’s never experienced heat like the past few weeks.

“No mate, everywhere you go it’s extremely hot and you need ice everywhere you go. The company supplies us ice (because) it’s so hot – the bosses are on us to be drinking iced water,” he said.

“You can get it cheaper at this machine than anywhere else and it’s better stuff, very clean, all the bad bits taken out.”

Brett Williams owns the ice-making machine and was onsite doing some routine cleaning and maintenance, a task he says is vital when the mercury soars and puts a massive strain on any refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment.

“Yeah, it puts a lot of strain on things because most refrigeration equipment’s designed for probably about a 35-38-degree ambience. A lot of the gear we install out here at Dubbo is higher than that, like 43s, because we know it can reach those high temperatures but this current heat definitely puts a lot of strain on your equipment,” Mr Williams said.

He said on days like Saturday, with temperatures well into the mid-40s, is when the hardpressed equipment looks for reasons to fail.

“On those sorts of days, that’s when something’s likely to break down.

“A little bit of routine mainte-

nance, a month out from the really hot weather, or even earlier if you can afford to, (we) keep things clean and all the basic stuff. It’s worthwhile definitely because this is the time of year that your gear’s going to fail and it’s difficult to get people (to fix it) because everyone’s busy. The other side of that is that logistically it’s hard to get parts during the holiday period as well,” Mr Williams said.

Sales of ice at the Wheelers Lane machine have been going well through the heat, with plenty of people also taking advantage of being able to buy pure water into bulk containers at the

Whylandra Street ice machine.

“This goes through a five-stage filtering process so it removes any impurities out of the water and the ice is crystal clear because the machine gets the water so pure.

It takes out anything you really don’t want in there,” he said.

“This is one of the few machines that’s actually Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) approved – which means it’s fit for human consumption (because it) meets an international standard for effective control of food safety.”

The HACCP was developed by NASA in the 1960s in conjunction with a group of food safety

specialists.

“If their ice machines break down, restaurants can use this product. Other food retailers, like coffee vans, they’ll pull up and get their ice as well. We’ve even had forensic police using this ice to keep things pure and untarnished. There’s a real cross-section of people who need this high-quality ice,” he said.

“I think people like that not only is it good value and it’s a good quality pure ice product that’s filtered, but people can pull up, get their ice and keep going instead of having to go into a servo and wait in line. They just get their ice and take off.”

DUBBO Regional Council has erected signage across the city advising times when irrigation system testing is taking place.

Short-burst testing is checking and preventing unnecessary, potentially costly equipment damage during the drought.

The scheduled 10-minute flush tests push water through pipes that will perish without use over extended periods.

The pipes are also being checked for any leaks in pump and bore connections and water valves are fully operational to prevent leakages outside test or scheduled watering times.

“Most of the locations are tested us- Council signage advises when ing non-portairrigation system ble bore water testing is taking with weekly replace. PHOTO: views assessing SUPPLIED weather conditions and maintenance reports on irrigation systems at each site,” Dubbo Regional Council liveability director Skye Price said.

“Damaging levels of sediment will build up in Dubbo’s extensive network of irrigation systems unless the pipes are regularly flushed.”

Generous gesture as students reach out to other children

By SOPHIA ROUSE THE students of St Mary’s Primary School have made a generous gesture to St Vincent de Paul by donating a variety of Christmas presents to be distributed to other children in the community who are less fortunate.

Principal Luke Wilson told Dubbo Photo News that the decision to make the donation was made “as a school community”.

“The great majority of our school’s children are very lucky, so we can afford to donate the prizes to some of the disadvantaged children in our local community who might not get quite so much at Christmas time.”

The students raised the money though a “colour run” fundraiser held during the school year and made the donation to St Vincent de Paul president Pat Yeo and store manager Pat Thornton on in mid-December, ready for volunteers to give to families who can’t afford presents this year.

Dubbo St Vincent de Paul volunteers said they were “blown away” by the generosity and thoughtfulness of the students, with the donation being the largest number of toys yet being received for Christmas.

To be or not to be: funding for regional mentorship

TEACHERS from Wellington, Nyngan, Cobar and Moree are among the recipients of the Bell Shakespeare 2020 Regional Teacher Mentorship program which provides their schools a fully-funded, year-long mentorship with the company.

Nyngan High School’s Alexandra Boyden, Wellington High School’s Tamara Donovan,, St Philomena’s School, Moree’s Anne Johnston, and Cobar High School’s Nicholas Short will travel to Bell Shakespeare’s Sydney headquarters for specialist training.

On their return to school, they will receive ongoing support from Bell Shakespeare artists and staff as well as access to in-school and in-theatre programs to support their continued learning.

“Our commitment is to work with and support teachers, helping them to enliven their students’ experience with the ideas and language of Shakespeare – especially in areas that don’t always have access to reliable internet, a permanent library, or a network of local teachers with whom to collaborate,” Bell Shakespeare artistic director Peter Evans said.

Federal and state $2 billion boost to NSW rural healthcare DUBBO and surrounding regions will benefit from a joint federal and state government commitment to rural and regional health services, as discussed at Australia’s first Bilateral Regional Health Forum held last Friday to decide how combined government investment of more than $2 billion can be maximised to boost NSW rural healthcare.

Workforce, primary care and mental health initiatives, attracting doctors to the bush and increasing support for people with mental health concerns were agenda topics.

Initiatives included in the plan are the $62 million Rural Generalist Pathway which is already funding initiatives training for rural generalists and state government’s western NSW collaborative addressing the shortfall of GPs and other health professionals in rural and remote areas.

OPINION, ANALYSIS, FEATURES, DEPTH.

The year that was: It’s not how you play the game, it’s whether you win or lose Greg Smart ❚ OPINION HERE we are stumbling towards the finishing line of 2019, safe in the knowledge we went the whole year without a change of Prime Minister.

That means it’s time for annual Dubbo Photo News/ Weekender Winner and Loser Awards.

The judges raked through a year of vainglorious political inertia, spoke quietly to many Quiet Australians, and found the following worthy award recipients:

Winners: z Tony Abbott – The long-time member for Warringah lost his job in the May election but will be comforted by a $300,000 annual pension as a former Prime Minister, a rise of $90,000 over his last wage as a backbencher. z Franking Credits – a loophole created by the Howard Government in 1981, which initially cost the budget about $550 million annually, is on track to be an $8 billion annual windfall to the oppressed investor class. Franking credits were the talk of the federal election and survived the threat of being abolished by Labor. The People, especially those who don’t get them and had no idea what they were but liked the idea of free money, rejoiced. z Citizen Journalists – the standard of news collection, analysis and reporting by the public advanced in leaps and bounds this year. Citizen journalists are breaking political stories and carrying out detailed analysis of financial fraud that mainstream journalists are either not interested in or told not to be by their masters. Reporting on the pillaging of Murray-Darling Basin water by political donors by citizens in the know

left the mainstream press for dead. z Thumbs Up – Trump started it, now everyone’s doing it. Thumbs up and a cheesy grin is the gesture of choice to say you are one of the people. z Rupert Murdoch – The political leaders of Murdoch’s three biggest media markets (the USA, the UK and Australia) are now firmly aligned to the Murdoch empire.

Proving facts don’t matter when he is on your team at election time, Rupert can look forward to further defunding of public broadcasters and no scrutiny of his tax affairs. z Ash Barty – Australian tennis player Ash Barty won her first Grand Slam title this year and was named the Women’s Tennis Association player of the year. Treats playing professional as a privilege and is the best antidote to the brattish nonsense of Kyrgios and Tomic. z Religious fanaticism – in various guises is being embraced all over the world. From a proposed law in Ohio USA, to reimplant ectopic pregnancies, to bombings in Kashmir, Somalia and Sri Lanka, the Christchurch massacre, armed conflict in Gaza, forced detention of Uyghurs in Chinese prisons, televangelist Paula White working in the White House as Trump’s spiritual advisor, Israel Folau’s faith, and the religious freedom bill being worked through the Australian parliament – hardline doctrine is advancing its cause around the globe. z Angus Taylor – the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction was unable to be forced from cabinet despite bouncing from scandal to scandal. The well-connected Taylor has achieved outstanding personal gain on the public purse while being harder to shift than dried Weetbix. z Steve Smith and David Warner – winning matches allowed sport fans to forget the ball tampering scandal and award Smith and Warner redemption. Sinners who are winners are grinners. z Four Corners – continued to outshine every other news programme. Insightful reporting into the Pell conviction, right-wing extremism and Chinese authoritarianism are just a few examples of episodes that proved proper investigative journalism still exists in this country. z Word of the Year – “Unprecedented” had a workout this year, being used to describe drought, bushfires, Trump, fish kills, interest rates, banking misdemean-

Insulting the status of high office by indulging in immature, petulant and cynical behaviour they think “appeals to the base”. Hyper-partisanship and political point scoring have reduced the statesman/ woman to near extinction. z Holden – Once the icon of Australian motoring, Holden is struggling for relevance in an overcrowded vehicle market. The demise of local manufacturing has left Holden anchored the with overseas-built models that have not gained any traction in the marketplace. Holden will go close to slipping out of the top 10

Nobel Prize be next? z Prince Andrew – for decades known as Randy Andy, Prince Andrew proved that being born to royalty is no guarantee of ethics, morals and decency; and opens up the nature versus nurture debate about human behaviour. As the head of a church, his mother could surely have provided all the moral guidance he needed. z Me – I predicted Labor would win the federal election by being a small target and letting the Coalition lose the unwinnable election.

I also predicted Trump would be gone by the end of 2019. Not many days left so there is still hope for a Trump implosion. z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, and is a keen observer of current affairs.

NEWS EXTRA LETTERS & FEEDBACK

OPINION & ANALYSIS THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Questions raised as trees face the chop

The Editor, Re: “RAAF base development to remove significant trees” (Dubbo Photo News, December 19-25) Well, it was great timing to read about the loss of significant trees at the RAAF base during the week before Christmas, when everybody is too busy to heed this news.

Then, last week, it was announced that there would be significant road changes to accommodate this RAAF base development. These include a new roundabout at Goode Street and Palmer Street, and new traffic lights at Palmer and Cobra Streets (with no right turn onto Cobra Street) – all to occur as a result of this development of the RAAF base. This also involves chopping down trees along Cobra Street to facilitate these changes.

This development of the RAAF base has been coming ever since the government offered it to Dubbo City Council for $4 million, and that council decided it would cost too much to develop, and very sadly, it was put up for sale.

Could Benjamin Pilot (Council’s acting manager Recreation and Open Space) and Andorra Developments Pty Ltd (the developer) please state just how many trees will be chopped down, as the article says “approximately 1100 new trees are to be planted... when drought conditions improve”?

The growth, to maturity, of these trees will take many years (at least 20) and in the meantime, many birds, animals and insects will lose their habitat and may never return. Has council noted just how many birds live and breed in these trees? I’ve noted many species including parrots and lorikeets.

I agree with Janis Hosking (Secretary of the Dubbo Field Naturalist and Conservation Society) when she stated: “It’s a shame.

The incremental loss of trees – a little bit here, a little bit there.”

We’re seeing this happening in lots of streets to accommodate road changes for developments.

Unfortunately in this instance, it’s a huge mass of mature trees that face the chop.

My first impressions of Dubbo, circa 1984, was that it appeared flat, treeless and hot. Not a lot to be done about flat or hot, but delightful things have happened since to increase Dubbo’s appeal.

The greatest being the beautification of streets and parks by increasing the number of trees. That is, until recently, when more trees are being felled than ever before.

One important thing we, and other creatures, need to survive in this harsh climate is trees. We teach our children this very fact: we need oxygen aplenty and shade, both provided by trees.

I am left with a question directed to those in Council: Does every little open space need to be developed, creating the need to chop down so many trees and destroying flora, fauna and habitats, so that these developments and road changes can occur?

What do I want? Stop the chopping. When do I want it? Now. Lenette Allen, Dubbo

Smart comments offer hope when history repeats The Editor, Re: “Rich pickings in a decade of commentary when history repeats” (comment by Greg Smart, Dubbo Photo News, December 12-18) The year-end article by Greg Smart was a moving overview of the difficulties facing modern journalism and effective commentary “when history repeats”.

I agree that it is disheartening to confront the same institutional failings over and over, but I do look forward to our maturing as a society, and this will occur in no small part (through) Greg’s continued chronicle.

I enjoy Greg Smart’s writing and point of view. It is informed and balanced and I turn to his opinion every time I pick up my copy of Dubbo Photo News.

Thanks for the effort, and I look forward to his continued presence in my media landscape.

Jack Randell, Dubbo

Pristine gardens a luxury we can’t afford The Editor, Re: “Water issues: Sink, swim or pull each other under?” (Dubbo Photo News, Letters & Feedback, December 19-25) I was glad to read Kim Macrae’s sensible response to Steve Hodder’s blinkered diatribe (“We’re made to feel criminal for trying to

keep our gardens alive”, Letters & Feedback page, December 5).

Some things are more important than keeping our personal gardens in pristine condition. I love my plants and do my best for them, but take a look around the countryside and see what drought does. We should think ourselves lucky to have the benefits we do have while living in town.

I am sorry, though, to see so many beautiful roadside trees dying. Surely the householders adjacent could use some of their allocation to help them?

Carol Macpherson, Dubbo

All houses in all towns should have water meters The Editor, Re: “Mayor responds to smart meter criticism”, Dubbo Photo News, Letters & Feedback, December 12.

Firstly I’d like to say good on you to Dubbo Regional Mayor Ben Shields for taking the time to respond to concerns about the smart water meters to be installed in Dubbo.

Thanks also to the concerned Dubbo ratepayer who responded as well.

Do you know much water you use now?

I find it unbelievable how much

water “town” people waste!

I have nearly always been on only rainwater so I am shocked when I see people rinsing dishes with a running tap, before washing them or putting them in a dishwasher.

They turn the tap on and leave it on while they wipe benches.

(They then get offended when I run over and say, “Oh my lord, don’t waste our water!”

Four minute showers! How many of you have timed your shower?

(It doesn’t take me long to get) in, out, dried and dressed, although I don’t have a job where I get really dirty.

A smart meter will show you what your using. It’s a great idea as I bet a lot of people are still wasting water and think they are conservative.

All houses in all towns should have these meters.

Although why we need a drought for people to realise water is precious is beyond me.

Amanda (via email)

Orana Physical Culture says thanks The Editor, As the year draws quickly to an end, once again extending grateful thanks to all the Dubbo Photo News staff who combine so professionally to produce a publication that builds positivity into our very lucky community.

Our cohort of champions, without a doubt, have been blessed with coverage that helps build pride and self-esteem in no small measure.

As the ceaseless drought has added pain and distress in particular to our farm-based membership, resilience as a result of support from a connected community eases the burden.

Dubbo Photo News can rightfully be proud of bringing our city together with a spirit that builds kinship which always projects we are ‘local and proud’.

Merry Christmas Margaret Lynch, Orana Physical Culture

Western Plains Trefoil Guild donates to disaster relief Contributed by DOROTHY OLENCEWICZ THE Christmas party held by the Western Plains Trefoil Guild raised $170 which will be donated to the State Trefoil Guild 2019 as part of its efforts to help the CWA’s disaster relief fund.

Trefoil Guild is the adult section of Guiding in Australia which links members and former members, as well as female members of the Scout Association and women who have not been Guides but who are prepared to make the Guide Promise.

Pictured below are local Trefoil Guild members Shirley Gruber, Dorothy Blake, Dawn Miller, Laura Forrest, Alice Newton and Margaret Grasnick.

A poet’s Christmas wish for rain ONCE a Sydney girl, poet/lyricist Maggie May Gordon has spent the majority of her life on a sheep property on the western plains of NSW – and that lifestyle has been a great inspiration for many of her verses over the years.

During that time, she has won awards for her poetry and short stories and has had her poetry performed in eisteddfods, schools and on radio.

Her website www.countryrhymes. com even includes a few songs there including “Little Country Towns” which was produced in Dubbo.

After many years of the land, Maggie has recently moved into the town of Trangie where she now runs a gallery called Countryrhymes Gallery, which she describes as a salute to “A Land Called ‘Country’”.

Maggie wrote this poem about our Christmas wish for rain and agreed to allowing us to publish it in Dubbo Photo News. She invites you to cut it out and hang it at your home.

SNOWFLAKES ON DUST STORMS If Santa could bring us a sleighful of snow Our Christmas Day would really shine, Tho’ the North Pole’s miles & miles away A sleighful of snow would be just fine!

For when you live where duststorms blow You pray that rain will fall your way, And hope that Santa will fill his sleigh so full Of outback wishes for Christmas Day! Snowflakes on duststorms on Christmas Day Would be an outback dream come true, Snowflakes melt the dustiest duststorm away Like sunshine warms the morning dew!

The sheep are bleating and the dams are dry There’s nothing for the cattle to eat, And even the branches of the gum trees hang Their branches in the noon no day heat.

So when you write to dear ear old d Santa Claus Please remind him overr & over again, To fill his sleigh with lots and lots of snow And bring back to the outback: RAIN! © MAGGIE MAY GORDON

&

Thumbs Up to Taronga Western Plains Zoo for their recent Dreamnight festival for kids and their families with disabilities. The staff were just amazing – patient, helpful and kind. We had a great night. Thank you to all who put on this night.

Thumbs Up to Council workers Chris and Luke who answered my distress call when not only my outside tap broke but the mains tap broke as well, with precious water spouting heavenward! They were prompt, efficient and very good-humoured.

Janette Read and Jacqui Thompson with all the presents and food hampers collected by Dubbo Education Offices in Carrington Avenue and Arthur Street.

Contributed by JACQUI THOMPSON THIS year the Dubbo Education Office has started fundraising for different charities including the Biggest Morning Tea, breast cancer and Red Nose Day. We felt as Christmas is going to be difficult for many families this year, we wanted to organise more ways for our office to contribute, via either St Vincent De Paul’s Christmas hamper appeal or The Salvation Army Christmas Appeal As a result we were able to donate four complete food hampers to St Vin-

cent De Paul as well as extra groceries including Christmas chocolates, biscuits and nuts, and innumerable care packs.

We also donated approximately 50 individual gifts to the Salvation Army for all ages.

We received $600 worth of gift vouchers donated to us by the Department of Education Human Capital Management Team in the Department of Education Parramatta office and used those to purchase food or gifts.

Thank-you for this opportunity to spread the Christmas spirit of giving.

The duo reckon a bathtub full of water would be a good way to cool off in this hot weather. They decided to add some Christmas decorations to themselves to make this an extra-festive photo!

PETS on PARADE

Diamond Python, “Ace” Thanks for agreeing to do a phone interview.

You’re ssssooo welcome.

I wondered if you were afraid to talk to me in perssson? Do you know I’m non-venomousss?

Absolutely. Who keeps a pet that can kill you, right?

Exsssactly! I’m a pussssy cat.

My cat sleeps on my bed at night, I’m not sure how’d I’d feel waking up to you.

I’m not sure how’d I’d feel waking up to you.

I can understand that, it can be alarming.

You sssee people think “sssnake” and they get afraid. Diamond pythonss are one of the Australia’s most placid snakesss. Like you, we live for the weekend. We don’t get upset so rarely hissss. We’re patient.

When we go out for takeaway, we’ll wait in the same spot for two weeks until dinner arrives. Sure, if you corner us and we bite it hurts, but no lesss than if you bit me. …and we are never

going to find that out. (laughs) What else would you like to know?

How did you become a pet?

I’ve been bred in captivity which is why I’m ssssooo tame. It’s illegal to catch my wild cousins and you should never try to catch a ssssnake in the wild.

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Do you want to hear some snake jokesss?

Okay.

What’s the wrong time to reason with snake?...

When it’s throwing a hisssssy fit.

My snake is exactly 3.14 metres long… he’s a pi-thon.

Funny. One more?

A sheep, a drum and a snake all fell over. Baaa dum, tsssss..!

VOLUNTEER CAROL O’CONNOR

Hampers from the heart Spirit of giving reason for the season

By GEOFF MANN IF you were driving along Brisbane St near St Brigid’s Catholic Church on Wed morning you would have been dazzled by a buzz of activity as more than 300 Christmas hampers were sent on their way to citizens in need.

A cavalcade of students, workers, parents, teachers and St Vincent de Paul (Vinnies) helpers gathered in the grounds and, like clockwork, loaded up their GPSs or grabbed a detailed map and set off in their “sleighs” delivering heartfelt gifts of joy.

Carol O’Connor has been one of the many volunteers of this heart-warming joint venture between the St Brigid’s and the entire community over many years, and says it’s a marvellous example of people sharing their love for others.

“We have hundreds of toys and gifts on our tables. Staff from Ray White Real Estate, who have been great supporters of St Vincent de Paul at Christmas time, brought in parcels that have been beautifully wrapped by their staff. Each has a tag indicating the age and gender of the kids for whom these gifts have been provided.

“We get vouchers for meat, groceries, assorted items and fruit and veg. Mick and Paul (from local fruit and vegetable shop Mick and Paul’s) always give us fresh produce to make sure families in our city and on the farms can have a shared meal on Christmas Day,” Carol added.

Each year St Brigid’s Parish gives out more than 300 hampers.

“People come into our lives through the Vinnies store and community care, and other groups contact us to provide names of families who may be short of groceries and toys at Christmas. We get referrals from other agencies and our volunteers know of people who may not self-refer, so we make sure those are all provided for as well,” she smiled.

The hall was a real buzz of activity when I joined in on Monday

Dan Sullivan and Dennis Crimmins

morning.

Tables of gifts, wrapped and unwrapped, had been sorted into the various groups.

“Family of five, two boys aged 3 and 6; three girls aged 1, 5 and 8,” is the call that rings out as Carole and her always-smiling group sets about their tasks to fill the Santa bags.

“Each of the unnamed families has a descriptor, a tag that is handed to each volunteer who then scouts the assortment and compiles a bevy of goods. It’s truly wonderful to watch as people select from an amazing array of donations, all the time remembering their own Christmas stories and reflecting on the generosity shown by others to their own

families.”

How are hampers put together?

The hampers are a collaborative effort between parishioners, all four primary schools – St Pius, West Dubbo, St Laurence’s South Dubbo, St Mary’s North Dubbo and St John’s – plus St John’s College. They coordinate their responses from parents, staff and students and then the Vinnies truck with a team of “lifters” collects the bountiful baskets and brings the hampers to St Brigid’s Hall for collation.

This year, St John’s College alone put together more than 100 and many were hand delivered by students keen to put their newly acquired drivers’ licences to practical use.

St Brigid’s church hall was bursting with goodwill and hampers as volunteers prepared a range of donated goods to be distributed to those who need a little extra Christmas cheer this year. PHOTO: DUBBO PHOTO NEWS

Above: Pat Yeo, Brian Quade, Bridget Mann, Fr Francis, Carole O’Connor, Kier Yeo

Volunteer Brian Quade: It is “unbelievably satisfying” BRIAN Quade is a parishioner who has been involved with St Vincent de Paul his whole adult life. He moved to Dubbo after selling his family farm between Tottenham and Trundle about 15 years ago.

He is especially committed to those on the land.

“I sure am because it’s incredibly tough at the present time and it’s great to see that the city people from Dubbo and Sydney are getting involved.”

Brian says it’s tough and “it’s gonna get tougher”. He says he’s never seen it so bad.

“Never, never and I don’t know anybody who has. We lived at a little siding called Cadungle and it was a great

life when it rained but I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

Brian and wife Deanna joined the volunteers at St Brigid’s, reflecting on their days on the farm. They spoke of the days when pre-Christmas was a hive of activity in the villages and towns.

“There was always real buzz around harvest time.

That buzz has just not been around for the past few years as this drought takes its toll. No, it’s not good but they’ll tough it out.

They’ve done it before – not this tough – but they’ll get through somehow,” he said with a tear-filled eye.

On the delivery chain: “IT’S incredible to watch it happen. You were flat out getting a park in the church grounds because people were volunteering to deliver

the hampers.”

The donated gifts: “IT blew me away when I walked into the hall on Monday morning. I couldn’t believe it. You know, about ten tables chock-a-block and all of the gifts beautifully wrapped. The donations are not cheap toys, either. It’s nothing short of incredible”.

The genuine spirit of Christmas UGANDAN priest Fr Francis, who is now part of the parish team at St Brigid’s, couldn’t believe his eyes when he wandered into the old parish church.

“Well, I was very impressed by this kind of generosity. I couldn’t believe people could give on such a big, big scale and I think this is the genuine spirit of Christmas to think about other people who may be in need

and can use these items,” he said with sincerity.

“I think this is the best way to celebrate the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. I am deeply touched.”

Fr Francis said it was very moving, almost surreal as he canvassed the rows and rows of hampers.

“These packages overwhelm me. I don’t know what to say. I think the hearts that have given all these hampers speak volumes, you know, (about) the love the people have and the care and their generosity.”

Fr Francis is looking forward to his first Christmas in Dubbo after living in parishes in Uganda and South Africa for many years.

“As you can see, this is a very conducive atmosphere.

To celebrate in a community that is full of generosity and full of love.”

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.

STRANGE BUT TRUE z It was 17th-century English philosopher Thomas Hobbes who made the following sage observation: “Curiosity is the lust of the mind.” z At Christmastime in Greece, people traditionally give small gifts to orphanages and hospitals rather than to each other. z A traditional Russian Christmas celebration would include spreading hay on a home’s floors and tables and clucking loudly. Evidently, this was thought to encourage horse feed to grow and chickens to lay eggs in the coming year. z The antlers of a bull moose can spread up to 6 feet across – and they accomplish this astonishing growth in only four months. z The battle between keepers of livestock and the biting flies that

pester their herds is as old as the farming life. In recent times, pesticides have been applied with some success, but the expense – and especially the toxicity – worry many people. Japanese researchers have recently discovered a simple and inexpensive way to mitigate this concern: Paint zebra stripes on the cows. After several days of observing a control group of black cattle and a test group of the same breed of cattle painted with white stripes, they found that less than half as many biting flies landed on the striped cattle. z The first postage stamp commemorating Christmas was issued in Austria in 1937. z We can thank beloved 19thcentury English novelist Charles Dickens for the colourful phrase “eat my hat”. z Wildlife documentarians have

By GEOFF MANN THE Armstrong name is synonymous with Paramount Tennis Club and “young Glenn” has once again demonstrated his credentials as one of the strongest players in the region.

The veteran led his team to a dominant win in the Paramount Tennis Club’s A Grade spring competition.

Armstrong teamed up with Richard Clarke, David Ward and Mick Williamson to outpoint Andy Martin, Matt Woodbridge, Brian Humphrys and Chandika Liyange – filling in for Eddie Nguyen who was unable to play – in the final.

The team win bookended a fine year for David Ward, after he was half of the winning A Grade doubles team in the winter competition.

The B Grade final was a much tighter affair, with Stuart Eckford, David Walker, Paul Handsaker and Caroline Bromham claiming victory over Andrew Brown, Linda Croyston, Amelia Day and Sanjay Chandran 45 to 37 games after it the match finished at four sets all.

In C Grades, Lucy Samuels, Bryce Mallon, Toby Gillespie and Sally Kay proved too good for Gemma Savage, Derek Buchanan, Max Ramien and Mandy Colless.

Other C Grade awards went to Mandy Colless for Most Improved, and Ramesh Sharma who was named the biggest personality.

The club breaks from its weekly competitions over the Christmas and New Year period, with the summer competition kicking off at the end of January.

Teams will be selected by the committee from mid-January so people looking to play should contact the night organiser in the New Year or email paramounttennis@live.com.au.

A Grade (Monday) – Mark Campbell 0437 806 122 B Grade (Wednesday) – Gerard Cahill 0410 220 899 C Grade (Thursday) – Paul Handsaker 0429 069 745 The A, B and C Grade competitions cater for players of all abilities and interest levels so if you’re looking to have some fun and enjoy a social night out during the week, sign up today.

A POST on the Dubbo Sports World Indoor Cricket facebook page caught my eye.

“Congratulations John Wherritt, 73 and still going strong!”

Greg King and Dan French who run the Indoor comps reckon Wherro is probably the oldest regular player in Indoor Cricket in Australia.

“Anyone know any older?”

John often features on

our pages with the Dubbo Ducks swimmers. According to Greg and Dan, the tough-as-teak swimmer plays cricket with the same values, as a team player who always gives 100 per cent effort.

Commensurate with his deeds in the pool, the retired policeman never gives up. The one thing he hates more than breaking his time with the Ducks on a Sunday morning is having his time cut short with a duck inside the indoor nets!

SWIMMING

Waddling Ducks challenged: ‘you pick up the pace’

By GEOFF MANN THE 16 Dubbo Ducks who showed up at the pond following last week’s Christmas party thought they’d be having a relaxing, casual swim. Captain Dave had other ideas!

There were lots of moans and groans when the program was scribbled on the board – 75m Freestyle followed by a 25m Butterfly and final.

“There were a few swimmers that mastered the stroke made famous by Flipper. The elegant dolphin would have been alla-chatter at what was on offer – an inelegant impression of ducks with broken wings among other strokes and every other

stroke that defied explanation,” quacked Duck Dave Sparkes.

The “flutter by” was followed by a 2 x 50m Backstroke, breaststroke, breaststroke, backstroke brace relay.

“Just when they thought the morning swim was over, we added a 50m freestyle to ensure the Christmas extravagance was at least partially put aside so they could start again on Christmas Day,” Dave laughed.

Despite the protestations, the Ducks will be swimming again next Sunday, December 29, before the RSL Vets begin their 60th year on Sunday, January 5.

CYCLING

Powering towards a new era after a century of cycling DUBBO Cycle Club powers into a new era when more than 100 years of cycling heritage continues on new tracks in north Dubbo.

The outdoor velodrome, warm-up and brand new criterium tracks are the forerunner to our city’s multi-million-dollar sports hub adjacent to Charles Sturt University (CSU), Dubbo College and the ever-expanding medical science centre.

Coaches Gus Dawson and Vaughn Eather have a brilliant peloton

with speed and endurance “machines” able to break out against the best in the world.

Some of the most notable achievements are captured in Dubbo Photo News today as our modern-day champions aim for the stars. They are all determined to emulate Bob Spears, the world champion exactly one hundred years ago.

The great all-rounder is favourite to have his name etched on the walls of the new clubhouse when it officially opens in 2020.

DUBBO Cycle Club has capped another magnificent year after being awarded Club of the Year at the 2019 Cycling Australia Awards dinner in Brisbane on Monday night.

Dubbo Cycle Club President Matthew Gilbert accepted the honour on behalf of his club.

“This award reflects an enormous commitment and effort on the part of all members and the wider Dubbo community. It is a magnificent reward for a fantastic year of achievement by the entire club,” Matt said proudly.

Dubbo Cycle Club has amongst its ranks seven current national champions and many more NSW state champions.

The club is the regular host of the NSW Junior Cycling State Championships and is one of the oldest cycling clubs in Australia.

Bob Spears, who pedalled his way from the original Dubbo track in Victoria Park to become World Champion was inducted into the Cycling Australia Hall of Fame. He joins Australian cycling legends including Sir Hubert Opperman, Robbie McEwen and Brad McGee. Spears’ entry in the Cycling Australia Hall of Fame was accepted by longtime club committee person and supporter, Margaret Hazel.

By GEOFF MANN NARROMINE Jets may not have had much to smile about on the field in recent years however Santa arrived early in a big white bus with red bits to help them get around next season!

A gift from Alkane Resources’ Tomingley Gold Mine and its contractors was unwrapped at the Jets home ground last Thursday, just in time for Christmas.

“It was a wonderful surprise when the shiny new low-flying jet arrived,” the Narromine Rugby League publicity officer Sally Everett smiled.

“We have been working hard over the past few years even if it is not reflected on the stats sheet. There’ve been odd highlights but with coach Dylan Hill and his team already in training we’re expecting some positive returns in 2020. Certainly everyone will know we are in their town when our shiny new chariot arrives!”

It is all thanks to collaboration between Alkane’s Gold Mine and their generous contractors.

Simon Parsons, General Manager Operations, says as the Tomingley Gold Mine is a significant employer in the Narromine Shire it was important to support its local commu-

Alex Sambrook and Bruce Peters

nity and ensure youth do not miss out on playing the sport they love because they have no transport.

“Sport brings people together, not just the players themselves but their supporters, friends and family and all who helped make this happen are thrilled to give back to the local community,” Parsons said.

“Sporting clubs in small rural towns are the heart and soul of these small communities – and survive on the financial support that is provided by the local business community. The current economic pressures in the bush are also making it difficult for many small sporting groups to survive.

“It was therefore a great pleasure to hand over the keys to Narromine Jets Rugby League Club today.

As he was handed the keys, Jets President Archie Harding said, “We are most grateful to all those who made this happen and really appreciated the support of local businesses for the sport we love.

“So many players now can benefit by getting to games and opening up many opportunities for personal and sporting development. In the extremely tough times of the drought that we are experiencing, socialising and being involved in sport is vitally important for maintaining mental health.”

Mr Harding pointed out that Tomingley Gold Mine kick-started the fundraising drive with a $1000 donation.

“Simon and his group provided the impetus and encouraged their contractors to also donate $1000.

Between them, Alkane, Aquawest, Hardy Mining, JLE Electrical, EMECO, Sullivans Mining & Hardware, SNF Australia, LKA Staffing Solutions, Jennmar, Dubbo Powerhouse, Tega Industries and Revegetation and Erosion Control Services raised $12,000.

“We are also grateful to Coates Hire who provided signage for our new bus,” Archie said with a huge watermelon smile.

The Tomingley Gold Mine has also provided the Narromine Jets Junior Rugby League Club $6000 to help pay for the club’s jerseys. The club has approximately 220 registered players, fielding teams in the Under-6s to 16s in the Dubbo and District Junior competitions.

To celebrate their “new arrival” and the 2019 season and kick off the new year with a bang, the Narromine Jets coaches, players and supporters will gather at the Royal Hotel next Monday, December 30, for a Christmas Party and Committee Meet and Greet!

Pictured at the Club Committee’s Meet & Greet is Jets President Archie Harding with 2020 coaching staff, Dylan Hill, Lea Clarke, Alex Sambrook and Mick Clarke.
