It might sound cheesy, but...

HANG IN THERE

By LYDIA PEDRANA AFTER just ‘a few spots of rain’ in the region recently, fourth generation dairy farmer Thomas Skinner said he can already feel the difference.

The 33-year-old, who works on his family’s dairy farm on Old Dubbo Road, knows the dry spell isn’t over but is determined to remain positive.

SCHOOL’S BACK FOR 2020

Dubbo home market ranks high

Data reveals we have one of Australia’s strongest performing regional property markets

By LYDIA PEDRANA

By LYDIA PEDRANA Like many parents, Kristie McLeenan is feeling bittersweet about back to school time.

Her six-year-old son Dominic (pictured) started Year 1 at South Dubbo Primary yesterday after almost six weeks of holidays.

“It’s a hard thing, holidays, because I

enjoy not having to have such a structured routine and be somewhere at 9am every single morning,” Mrs McLeenan told Dubbo Photo News.

“The first three to four weeks are kind of OK, but the last couple it’s like ‘what are we going to do?’ and ‘will you guys just stop fighting over the TV remote, please’.”

Fortunately, there’s no hesitation

from Dominic who is keen to “play on the monkey bars”.

“He really is excited to go back and see his friends and find out who his teacher is going to be,” the mother of three said.

Dubbo Photo News wishes all school children, particularly those starting Kindergarten (and their parents), a wonderful year!

DUBBO is among the strongest performing regional property markets in the country according to data sourced from Core Logic and the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

Research reveals a 20-year capital growth average of 6.3 per cent per annum and rental yield of 5.1 per cent per annum.

Additionally, in the past two decades, there have only been three years in which the median house price in Dubbo declined.

Samuel Shooter, director of SJ Shooter Real Estate Dubbo, said there are a number of factors contributing to the city’s capital growth, including a strong and diverse economy, metropolitan migration and accessibility.

“Dubbo has become an attractive option for people looking to escape the cost and difficulty of more metro centres like Sydney and they see it as great place to bring up a family,” Mr Shooter told Dubbo Photo News.

“In more recent years, Dubbo has become more accessible with flights to major centres and numerous other regional centres as well, so the sense of being isolated has been removed.”

Mr Shooter also pointed out that with a median house price of $372,500, compared with Sydney’s $1,142,212, Dubbo is a more affordable option for those wanting to buy.

Even through Austral-

ia’s well publicised “property slump”, Dubbo’s market showed resilience.

“Of late, we’ve seen that even though the real estate market on a state and national level has taken a hit, Dubbo has still performed relatively well and hasn’t suffered the scale of downturn that places with more inflated prices have,” Mr Shooter said.

As for renting in Dubbo, Mr Shooter said people often test out a city and lifestyle by leasing before purchasing.

He said contractual employment and affordability are driving factors behind Dubbo’s steady rental yield which in turn makes the city an attractive option for investors.

“More recently, we’ve seen, and also have scheduled, significant citywide infrastructure and some of the workforce needed for this work will move to Dubbo over a six to 24-month period, and many will make the decision to rent while they are here,” Mr Shooter explained.

“Approximately one third of people in Dubbo rent – it’s something some people prefer to do, and even though rental return is strong, because house prices are relatively affordable, rent can be also.

“From an investment perspective, Dubbo remains a competitive option due to our accessible median house value, steady rental yield and capital growth and the overall growth and positive outlook for our city and economy.”

Dam water transfer delayed by rain THE planned transfer of water from Windamere Dam near Mudgee to Burrendong Dam has been postponed by “up to a month”

by WaterNSW. The transfer is being planned as one of the measures to send much-needed water to towns that rely on Burrendong.

Ironically, the transfer has been delayed because of rain which generated downstream tributary flows and allowed Burrendong Dam releases to be reduced.

The bulk water transfer will now occur in late February, with the volume still expected to be up to 25 gigalitres.

“WaterNSW is also monitoring a significant storm event in recent days that has generated good follow-up flows in the Cudgegong River, which feeds into Burrendong’s storage,” WaterNSW said in a statement yesterday.

“Burrendong Dam is currently at 1.6 per cent of capacity and experiencing acute drought conditions, with chronically low inflows in the past 12 months and only minor inflows into the dam storage,” WaterNSW said.

Plan to boost local business support DUBBO Regional Council’s local purchasing policy will be reviewed to ensure local businesses are able to compete for Council tenders for goods, materials and services.

Mayor Ben Shields requested a review into the Community Support Based Procurement Policy at Tuesday night’s Extraordinary Council Meeting saying he wants Council to strengthen its commitment to buying local.

Cr Shields said Council should be leading by example in the push to support local businesses.

The report will be presented to the Council in July.

RURAL CRIME

Baled up: Arrests made as hay scam hits “new low”

By JOHN RYAN A LIGHTNING speed police investigation has seen two men arrested for alleged fraud offences across different parts of the state.

Last week police saw social media posts advertising discounted hay bales and were told the seller had collected deposits, but no product had been delivered to customers.

Victims from as far afield as the Far North Coast, Mid North Coast, Hunter Valley, Southern Highlands, Hills District, and the Oxley, Nepean, and Port Stephens areas contacted police about paying those deposits and not receiving anything in return.

Strike Force Woden was established to investigate the alleged scam and task force investigators, assisted by Bass Hill police, executed a Villawood search warrant on January 23.

A 27-year-old man was arrested and charged with 13 counts of dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception.

Police will allege in court that the man fraudulently obtained more than $40,000 from 13 victims.

Officers also executed two outstanding warrants for fraud offences, and a third outstanding warrant for assault offences.

He was refused bail to appear at Fairfield Local Court.

Rural Crime Prevention Team Coordinator, Detective Inspector Cameron Whiteside, said the result showed fantastic cooperation between rural crime police and their city counterparts.

“Throughout my career, I’ve seen some devastating things and low acts from people but this has actually reached a new low. As we know, we’re on the back of a drought that’s been going for some considerable time (as well as) bushfires, and now the vulnerable people in our rural communities are being taken advantage of and we’re quite pleased that we’re putting someone before the courts, Detective Inspector Whiteside said.

The operation involved rural crime investigators from Muswellbrook, from the Windsor area in Sydney, as well as from Tamworth and Parkes and a number of areas in between.

“The coordination across the state in respect to this investigation, not only the rural crime prevention team but our metropolitan police, has resulted in a swift arrest before more people could become victims from this horrible fraud,” he said.

Just one day later, police charged a 25-year-old man at

Glen Innes for allegedly defrauding hay traders in the state’s far north late last year.

Between Sunday, November 10, 2019 and Thursday, November 28, 2019, police will allege in court that more than $30,000 worth of hay from two businesses was delivered to a property at Bolivia, about 29km south of Tenterfield.

It will be alleged that the hay was obtained under a false name and the man who placed the order failed to pay for the items.

The man was charged with two counts of dishonestly obtain financial advantage by deception.

He was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear before Glen Innes Local Court on April 15.

Detective Inspector Whiteside appealed to members of the pub-

lic that if they believe they have fallen victim to a scam to contact police, even if they feel embarrassed that they’ve been taken in.

He said often the reason people fell victim to scammers is because the scams were so convincing.

“Dealing with people and businesses that have proven to be genuine in the past is also encouraged to protect yourself against scammers,” Detective Inspector Whiteside said, adding that to reduce the risk of fraud, businesses should try, where possible, to ensure payment is made before delivering hay and other items.

“Our officers need as much information as possible to investigate these crimes thoroughly and urge those with information that might assist our investigators to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.”

ENVIRONMENT

Group continues caring for river

OVER the years, many Dubbo residents will have encountered what was once known as Dubbo Bushcare with its mustard-coloured trailer parked on various sites along the river.

Nearby would have been a band of volunteers involved in an array of jobs including planting native trees and shrubs, watering and weeding around previously planted trees.

Some volunteers may have been intent on collecting rubbish before it found its way into the river, thus becoming a hazard to native animal and fish species and an unpleasant sight for people enjoying the river environment. Others could be seen further down the riverbank, controlling noxious woody and invasive weeds that compete with native species and do not provide habitat or food for fish or native birds and animals.

That intrepid group incorporated in 2019 and is now known as Dubbo Rivercare Group Inc. The same trailer can be spotted twice every month, parked at various sites along the river depending on the activity or working bee scheduled on the calendar, which is prepared in January each year.

This band of enthusiastic workers is proud of its achievements since its inception in 2002 including the recent completion of their six-year Protect Repair Connect project funded by the NSW Environmental Trust. The aims of this $250,000 project were to connect priority habitat sites within a

New name, same aim

100km reach for the Endangered Trout Cod, as well as to enhance skills and raise the profile of the group.

Results achieved by the group include re-snagging (large woody debris) at six priority sites for fish habitat; erecting 15km of fencing along the riverbanks to restrict stock access and subsequent erosion while providing an alternative watering point; the removal of 50ha of invasive woody weeds; 1600 trees planted; five interpretive signs installed along the river and five tonnes of rubbish removed.

Hundreds of volunteers and

thousands of volunteer hours have been invested to work on sites managed both by Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) and private landholders along riverbank sites. of hours of volunteer labour carried out work on DRC and private landholder managed riverbank sites.

The vast amount of environmental improvement to the river banks since the group began in 2002 is evident, and the engagement with community about the importance of the work the group does has resulted in many new volunteers.

In 2020 Dubbo Rivercare Group

hopes to develop long-term environmental planning with council for the river and associated floodplain areas. The group values co-operative relationships with council and other like-minded entities such as the Inland Waterways Rejuvenation Association’s (IWRA) River Repair Bus, Taronga Western Plains Zoo, Western Paddlers, Dubbo Field Naturalists and Conservation Society, the Department of Education and Local Land Services.

The river is the lifeblood of Dubbo and many other communities and everyone needs to contribute to looking after it. As is evident during this drought, water is a precious and scarce resource and everyone should be using much less and more wisely.

The river and its habitat are home to thousands of fish and other aquatic life, birds, frogs, mammals and reptiles, and many people use the river so we should all be contributing to its longterm health and sustainability.

The group hopes community members will join Dubbo Rivercare and make a difference to their local environment. Everyone is welcome and will be provided with on-site training and identification skills and will only work at the tasks and level they consider suits their individual preferences and capabilities.

Working bees are conducted at weekends.

For more information email dubborivercare@gmail.com.

Drought loans for farmdependent businesses THE new Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) loan for farm-dependent small businesses is now available to eligible businesses across the region.

Member for Parkes Mark Coulton said small businesses are “the lifeblood of rural and regional communities”, acknowledging that these operations are doing it tough as they do their best to serve farm businesses also affected by the ongoing drought.

He says businesses such as livestock transporters, equipment repairers and harvesting contractors can use these small business drought loans to refinance existing debt or just keep their businesses going until the drought breaks.

Loans of up to $500,000 are available with a two-year interest-free period. Following those first two years, concessional interest-only payments will apply before principal and interest payments are required in the final five years of the 10-year loan term.

IN BRIEF

Things go better with Coke’s donation

ZooFM Dubbo Showgirl to cut hair for fundraiser

By JOHN RYAN SINCE Vinnies set up its container deposit recycling depot in Dubbo, awareness of the charity has gone through the roof, with many locals happy to donate their cans and bottles instead of cashing them in for 10 cents a pop.

The new facility has also established relationships with a number of local organisations that donate their cans and bottles. This week Dubbo RSL took things a step further, joining with forces with Coca Cola Amatil to donate two large pallets of bottled water for the charity to distribute to people doing it tough during the drought.

RSL general manager, Gus Lico, said the club had a strong tradition of helping in times of dire need.

“It’s fairly well known that in times of disaster, our board is very supportive and gets involved with a lot of these community initiatives. This is just another way of us assisting the community and knowing that Vinnies is doing what they do,” Mr Lico said.

Coca Cola Amatil’s Dubbo business development executive, Jason Jones, said the company couldn’t be happier to chip in and help after being approached by Dubbo RSL. “We were more than happy to jump on and support the RSL. We love helping the community out, especially in these tough times,” Mr Jones said.

Water is a basic thing and for the first time many communities in Australia have faced the prospect of running out.

Mr Jones said it’s vital that people have access to clean drinking

water.

“It’s a necessity, you need it every day. It’s great to partner with the RSL to get these pallets to Vinnies, to get it to the right people who actually need it the

most, it’s great that we can help.

“We love organisations like RSL reaching out to us, it shows a great sense of community,” he said.

Pat Yeo is president of Vinnies’ Castlereagh region and says practical donations such as bottled water will be put to good use.

“There’s a lot of people in our area, particularly in the farming community, who are suffering because of this drought and we can receive this gift and distribute it as quickly as possible to the people who need it the most.

It’s a discerning process to make sure it goes to the right people,” Mr Yeo said.

Matt Goodwin manages Vinnies’ recycling operation in Dubbo and said it’s great the facility can act as a drop off point for bulk donations which need to be unloaded and stored prior to distribution.

“Our work here probably promotes the cause and the Vinnies’ brand a bit, locally and across our region, and also it significantly helps with fundraising, particularly with our partners that are donating to us. The Dubbo RSL has been a significant contributor,” Mr Goodwin said.

“People can come here with 10 bottles or 10,000. We had one person here this morning with almost that many. People just want to know they’ll be treated fairly – they know it’s a genuine count, they get their money on the day and they’re going away happy.”

CURRENT ZooFM Dubbo Showgirl Tyla Comerford is hosting a charity event on Saturday, February 8, to raise money for children’s charity Variety and the Dubbo Show Society.

Ms Comerford and 2017 Dubbo Showgirl Rose Broughton will cut off their hair at the fundraiser which his open to the public.

PARKING PAIN

Six for batsman, bouncer for windscreen

By LYDIA PEDRANA

A LOCAL community member is using his own bad luck as a warning for others to understand the risk of parking your car near sporting grounds.

Glenn Smith learned this lesson the hard way after parking near Victoria Park while attending the Men’s Shed on a Saturday earlier this month when a cricket ball was “hit for six”, shattering his windscreen.

After getting a $500 quote to repair the windscreen and contacting the Dubbo District Cricket Association (DDCA) to arrange an insurance claim, Mr Smith was informed that “as with any parking space, (you) park at your own risk” and the DDCA’s insurance doesn’t cover such damage.

“There are no signs to indicate that you are parking at your own risk in a dangerous situation,” Mr Smith told Dubbo Photo News. “I mean there are parking bays there, but if you park there at your own risk, a warning sign would be good.

“I just would have thought they would have insurance for that sort of thing. They would need to have insurance in case a ball hit a person, but when it comes to ma-

terial things, they don’t have insurance. Others should be aware (of this).”

DDCA secretary Danial French, who was playing in the game from which the ball hit Mr Smith’s windscreen, said such incidents are rare.

“I’ve played cricket in Dubbo for 15 years and I reckon I’ve seen

it happen twice.”

Dubbo Photo News contacted the Dubbo Regional Council asking whether it would consider installing warning signs as suggested by Mr Smith, but a direct answer to that question was not forthcoming.

Instead, a statement attributed to a council spokesperson

said: “Areas surrounding the Victoria Park sporting fields where sports matches and training take place almost daily are also used for parking by residents working in the CBD or attending nearby events and activities. Parking in these areas surrounding all sporting grounds is at the owner’s risk.”

IT MIGHT SOUND CHEESY, BUT HANG IN THERE

By LYDIA PEDRANA AFTER just a few spots of rain in the region recently, fourth generation dairy farmer Thomas Skinner said he can already feel the difference.

The 33-year-old, who works on his family’s dairy farm on Old Dubbo Road, knows the dry spell isn’t over but is determined to remain positive.

“It’ll come sooner or later; you’ve just got to hang on long enough for it to get here,” Mr Skinner told Dubbo Photo News.

“You can feel it even now. The season has changed a bit in the last month, there’s been a few storms around where there’s actually rainfall instead of just the dust storms that we were getting six months ago.

“Geurie got wet the other day which has flowed down the Eulomogo Creek that runs around the back of us, so there’s water coming down the creek from up the road a few kilometres.”

The Skinners sell their milk to Australian-based, Canadian-owned dairy processor Saputo which distributes products under well-known brand names such as Coon, Devondale, Cracker Barrel and Mersey Valley.

But as expected, the drought has had a major impact on the Skinner’s business.

“Our milking herd is usually up near 800, we’re back down to 500 at the moment because we can’t grow enough to feed our cows because our water alloen cut from cation has been here’s no irthe river, so there’s rigating out off the river which is our main rigation,” source of irrigation,” id.

Mr Skinner said. n buy“We’ve been eed. ing in a lot of feed. nt At the moment g we are feeding about $2500

worth of hay just to keep our replacement stock alive so that’s an extra cost.

“We would usually make ourselves anywhere from 1200 to 2000 bales of hay a year, but in the past 12 months, we have made 87 bales in total.”

As a result, the dairy’s milk p has also dropped, meanoutput ing less incom income and staffing cuts as they ““try to make do with the bare minimum”.

“We usually usua produce a little bit o over 16,000 litres a day. A At the moment we are doing just under 13,000 litres a day day. We’re employin ing less staff and ob obviously not b buying as many

things like new equipment.

“Elders (rural merchandise) in town usually does a ripping trade through us and it’s affected them as well, but they understand that the season will change soon and it’ll turn around, you’ve got to take the good with the bad when it happens.”

And according to Mr Skinner, when it finally does rain, it’s going to pour.

“Be prepared for a flood, because every drought is broken by a flood,” he said with confidence.

“It’s been a good drought and it’s been 10 years since the last flood and since I’ve been alive, 1990 was a flood, 2000 was a flood and 2010 was a flood, so I reckon we are due for a flood.”

In the meantime, the Skinner’s

are urging the community to show their support for the local dairy industry by opting to buy branded dairy products over the supermarket home brands, even though prices might be slightly higher.

“Buy branded stuff instead of the home brand things,” Mr Skinner said.

“The supermarket branded stuff should have never been allowed. If they wanted to have their own milk, they should go and cows and milk their own cows.

“Even though they are using our milk, they are devaluing the product. Coles got caught saying they were going to pass on extra money to the farmers and they didn’t.”

FIVE years of alleged inaction from council and a failure to address severe contamination issues occurring on her property prompted resident Rhonda Picton to address Council on Tuesday night.

Representing herself and husband Gary, who together own a floodplain property under environmental management in north Dubbo, along with other stakeholders present in the chamber who are neighbouring residents, Mrs Picton described as “significant” the issue she alleged had been brought before council over many years.

“The one that really comes before us at this very moment is the pollution that came down Purvis Lane and has since moved its way through the culverts... and across into our property. That pollution is evident,” Mrs Picton said as she addressed the chamber.

“A significant amount of diesel came down Purvis Lane on Sunday evening and the smell was horrific... It has since soaked into the soil and we are concerned about the contamination to the soil,” she added.

Mrs Picton said the issue had been highlighted to council before.

“We’ve had the EPA involved in this matter before. We have had meetings with council before and various council staff over the past, probably five years, and at various times we’ve been told there will be a concept plan for the storm water release or catchment in that area that will not impact us, when it continues to impact us.

“It appears there is a concept up to the point where water would move under the railway line and through to our properties,” she said.

The Pictons measured approximately 20mm of rain on their property on Sunday night which has now soaked into the soil along with the contaminants.

“I am aware of a similar situation that we have out on the Dunedoo highway where a tanker of diesel has been spilled, and to clean that mess they’ve had to dig down three metres, is my understanding.

“If you soak diesel down three metres on our properties you will hit the water table. That water table is what some residents drink.

“Purvis Lane looks tremendous and I applaud (council) for the work that’s been done (there) but lately there has been lack of consideration of stakeholders in this particular area.”

BUSINESS

Maas Group expected to float by June DUBBO-BASED business Maas Group is understood to be planning to float on the Australian Stock Exchange in around June this year, The Australian reported this week.

An earlier plan to float during 2019 was delayed “as the company bedded down acquisitions and offered new forecasts to investors”, the report said.

“Earlier expectations were that Maas Group would be worth about $500m when it listed.”

The business was founded in 2003

New lamb ad says give screens ‘the chop’

RAY and Judi Unger are among the region’s most innovative farming couples and despite battling years of drought and seeing most of the infrequent storms pass on either side of their property, they’re faring incredibly well.

But a mini-tornado that cut a one-kilometre swathe through the district hit their house and farm buildings with incredible force at around 6pm on January 23.

“I’ve never been through a storm like this before, it was so intense,” Mrs Unger said.

“We were the unlucky recipient of what we imagine was a mini-tornado, causing damage to out-buildings, bringing trees down, causing a power outage for 18 hours, a garden shed was blown away, a greenhouse destroyed and sheet metal strewn everywhere over the paddocks.

“Our 100-year-old home stood firm and was not damaged. There was a moment when it seemed we would lose the roof, now we think it was probably when the tree hit the bull nose (verandah),” she said.

The Ungers said they were incredibly impressed with everyone who assisted them after the tornado.

“Thank you to Essential Energy for working all day to restore power, to our local shire guys for removing trees from the roads, to our neighbours who also were in the path of this storm for looking out for each other and to our friends and family for offering emotional support,” Mrs Unger said.

Luckily, no machinery or vehicles

WE’VE been wondering where the usual Aussie lamb ad was, but never fear – it’s finally here and it’s a ripper!

Meat and Livestock Australia (MLA) launched its annual summer campaign last week and, as usual, the innovative approach to flogging lamb is likely to strike a chord with its plea urging Aussies to look up from their screens and “share the lamb”.

With its now renowned brand of humour, the ad appeals to a tech-obsessed nation, distracted by their phones, screens and social media, to seek out real life connection and unite over delicious Aussie Lamb.

The basic ad plot, which is set in the offices of the mythically satirical Lambalytica, sees an elite team disrupting people’s devices to bring them together face-to-face.

While the ad uses satire to make its point, about both lamb and the need to unite face-toface, there’s a serious motivation behind the campaign, which is particularly important for regional Australia and therefore our region. Simply put, the more lamb we eat as a nation, the better it is for our sheep and lamb producers.

were damaged.

The family lost an overhead tank, a mobile field grain bin, and sustained serious damage to their cattle yards and damage to fences from fallen trees.

“Heaps of trees twisted and snapped off, extensive damage was caused to an 80-year-old machinery shed and our mobile chook pen was flattened by the field bin,” Mrs Unger said.

LEARNING AN INSTRUMENT STRIKES THE RIGHT NOTE

Where in our region is shown in this satellite image?

IN BRIEF

By NATALIE LEWIS

READING, writing and arithmetic may be key learning objectives but playing a musical instrument holds immense benefits.

Macquarie Conservatorium director Vivienne Winther is a big believer in the wonderful skills that can be attributed to learning music as a crucial part of development.

“Learning to play a musical instrument can help your child develop and enhance the skills needed for education and social interaction,” Ms Winther said.

“Some of the things we are hearing repeatedly from the research into the benefits of music education are that children who study music from an early age can do better at a range of academic subjects.

“Children who play a musical instrument learn there are rewards from hard work, practice and discipline.”

Ms Winther also said that play-

ing a musical instrument helps develop a child’s creative thinking, physical skills and co-ordination, and enhances listening ability along with health and wellbeing.

And children aren’t the only ones who can benefit from learning music.

“Learning a new skill or regularly doing something that engages the brain, like playing an instrument while reading music, is a key recommendation now to counteract ageing of the brain.

“There are definitely also great benefits for adults learning an instrument, whether starting for the first time or taking up from what they did as a child. It also relieves stress, builds confidence, promotes general wellbeing and provides a context for positive social interaction – playing music together!”

Ms Winther said memory, comprehension, language skills and multi-tasking seem to be some key areas strengthened by learn-

ing an instrument as an adult.

“The National Review of School Music Education in Australia in 2005 found that music education uniquely contributes to the emotional, physical, social and cognitive growth of all students.”

Kimberley Pearson is a music teacher who specialises in woodwind instruments and music theory and loves seeing student

The benefits of learning a musical instrument: z Improves academic skills and enhances brain function; z Develops physical skills; z Cultivates social skills and team work; z Increases discipline and patience; z Boosts self-esteem; and z Introduces children to the appreciation and enjoyment of music which will stay with them for their whole life.

development.

“The challenges of music teaching are often the parts that are the most fun,” she said.

“Every student thinks, hears and understands differently so the biggest challenge in my job is working out a way to demonstrate or explain a skill or technique in a way they can understand and also apply.

“I think what makes my job unique compared with that of a classroom teacher is that because I mostly deal with small groups, pairs and individuals, I tend to see the best side of each and every student... students generally behave differently, in a positive way, when they do music.”

If learning a musical instrument is an ambition for 2020, Macquarie Conservatorium offers tuition for children, youth and adults in a variety of instruments and voice.

LOCAL engineer Jillian Kilby has been appointed as one of seven panellists to the Regional Roads Classification panel tasked with identifying up to 15,000 kilometres of council-managed roads in rural and regional areas to be handed back to the state government.

The panel members also include former NRMA president Wendy Machin, Peter Duncan, John Roydhouse, Roads Australia CEO Michael Kilgariff and Peter Tegart.

Councils will be consulted as the independent panel formulates its advice on which roads should be given to the state and how to prioritise each one.

FOCUS ON FLETCHERS

There’s never a dull moment when you have an “old school” boss

By JOHN RYAN COLLEEN Turner has spent six years as an administrative manager at Fletcher International but what sets her role apart is acting as the personal assistant for company founder and managing director, Roger Fletcher.

Mrs Turner had previously worked at Davis’ kangaroo processing plant in Dubbo but for years had been with a local accounting firm and, like everyone else at Fletcher’s, she’s done a few different things at the plant.

“An accountant I knew took on that role of corporate accountant here and when she saw that there was a need for someone else, she asked me to come out,” she said.

“I came into accounts payable.

They needed someone to help sort out some things there so I fixed that up and now I’m in more of an admin role.

“I’m a book-keeper and have always been in an admin kind of role. It’s very challenging out here – there’s constant change and always a lot of new things going on.

Sometimes it’s just so full-on that you just have to get it sorted and flow with it,” she said.

Mrs Turner said she relished the fact that people are trained in many roles so there always seems to be back-up when anyone needs a hand. She likes being able to bring her skills at structured book-keeping and admin to a workplace where it’s constantly fluid and things can literally change by the minute.

“I love it, it’s great. It’s always keeping you thinking about if there’s a better way to do it, or why we are we doing (things a certain) way. It’s enjoyable for me and gives me a lot of personal satisfaction.

“Just the sheer scale of the plant is what surprised me the most when I first came to work here. I’d never been here before starting work,” Mrs Turner said, remark-

ing that a great factor in the company was the encouragement for professional development for anyone who wants it.

“There are so many resources available. I can go to training if I need to or if I want to find out more about various things, it just happens.”

She’s also proud to work for a local company that has such an immense impact on Dubbo’s economy as well as the city’s social fabric.

“You think about the number of people who actually work here and live in Dubbo for that purpose, let alone the businesses that pretty much survive on what we do. We spend so much money each week with local suppliers and you’re conscious of that all the time, that there’s a whole heap of people dependent on us,” Mrs Turner said.

She says she loves that part of her role is as personal assistant work to one of the nation’s busiest

men, a bloke who constantly has plenty on his plate both in Australia and overseas.

“Roger doesn’t plan too far ahead, probably three weeks is the max unless it’s an intense commitment like a trading delegation overseas,” Mrs Turner said. “He’s old school, which means he has a hand-written diary that I track down and suss out before making any appointments for him.

“He does it very well. He has his finger on the pulse all the time

Is remote work the right fit for you?

DO you dream of working from home?

Do you believe working remotely reduces stress and helps achieve a better work-life balance?

While you may be right, there are a few important factors to consider.

Despite popular belief, working from home is often challenging and doesn’t necessarily fit everybody’s lifestyle.

First, you can forget about working all day in your jammies slumped on the couch. A successful at-home career requires exceptional organisa-

tion. Showering, getting dressed and eating a well-balanced breakfast like any regular work day, maintaining an organised workspace, planning one’s schedule, resisting distractions and staying in regular contact with clients, co-workers and employers are all part of the daily life of a remote worker.

On the other hand, working remotely means taking breaks as needed without having to feel guilty. And while it may be tempting to work days, nights and weekends according

to one’s schedule, the risk of overworking is also very real.

Furthermore, getting paid for working overtime at home is often tricky business. However, if you have children, working from home can be an excellent solution for spending more time with your loved ones.

In a nutshell, working remotely is ideal for people who are independent, disciplined and who don’t fear isolation. Do you fit the bill? Then chances are that working from home will bring you much joy and fulfillment.

and is always thinking about all these things going on, wherever they might be and he’s pretty much working all the time. After hours, he’s on the phone overseas; he’s just constantly at it.

“Roger will come and tell me straight away if I have to change anything and because we don’t plan too far ahead it’s usually not a great issue. I’ll have to change flights a lot, for instance, but that’s all done online so it’s not a drama unless there’s no seats left.”

WORKING ENVIRONMENT Working from home requires impeccable discipline.

Aussie employees engaged but unproductive

By LYDIA PEDRANA HAVING trouble staying motivated at work? You are not alone.

New research suggests that while 90 per cent of Australian workers say they are engaged at work, only 53 per cent say they are productive 75 per cent of the time.

The survey, conducted by work management platform Wrike, found that Australian employees were motivated by job satisfaction, teamwork and collaboration, and knowing that their work contributes to the overall company success.

Executive recruiter Melinda Barton from Spinifex Recruiting in Dubbo wasn’t surprised by these results and shared the top factors she believes promote employee engagement.

“In my experience, people are

motivated by five key things: knowing they are appreciated, feeling challenged and interested in their work, but not so challenged that they feel they can’t cope, being trusted by the leadership of their company – this can include things like having the trust for flexible hours, work life balance, working from home and so on – having the opportunity to grow and learn, and to be fairly paid for the work they do,” she told Dubbo Photo News.

Disengaged employees also reported a number of reasons for feeling unmotivated.

The driving factors included a feeling that their work was undervalued or under recognised, the work culture was poor with a lack of respect and trust among colleagues, and a feeling of being overworked and facing burnout.

Ms Barton said it’s important

that managers properly identify what drives an employee to strive to get the best out of them.

“To motivate staff, companies need to consider what actually motivates them, and tie their company goals to these things,” she said.

Surprisingly, the data also revealed that Australia is leading the way when it comes to flexible working arrangements.

More than half, or 56 per cent, of Australian’s surveyed reported they had the flexibility to work remotely and 11 per cent said their work was fully remote, compared to the United States and France where only 50 per cent and 38 per cent of employees respectively can work out of office.

Fintan Lalor from Wrike agrees that managers don’t always get employee motivation right.

When managers are asked about their direct reports’ engagement, they feel that the very large majority of them (96 per cent) are engaged or very engaged at work.

However, the study showed a discrepancy between what managers identify as the leading factors behind their direct reports’ engagement and what they actually are. Where respondents focus on job satisfaction, purpose and collaboration, managers think

work-life balance (36 per cent), work culture (34 per cent) and teamwork and collaboration (34 per cent) are their main drivers, Mr Lalor said.

“Businesses need to get their employees’ priorities right. That starts with actually evaluating employee engagement. Our study shows a third of Australian businesses don’t do that on a regular basis,” said Lalor.

“The second step is for managers to really understand the factors which motivate their teams, especially when we know people usually leave their job because of their managers. While work-life balance and corporate culture are important to address, it is essential to first ensure every employee is truly satisfied with the nature of their work, and reinforce how they are making a difference to the whole business,” he said.

A CACHE of near-new films on DVD has been donated to the Macquarie Regional Library from film appreciation community group, the Dubbo Film Society.

Purchased to be shown at new screenings held throughout the year at the Dubbo Regional Theatre, the DVD collection will complement the library’s existing 4000 DVDs. Macquarie Regional Library coordinator Melissa Tong said the donation is “very welcome”. “It will allow members of the community to see films which we may not have purchased. To have 28 DVDs donated is amazing,” Mrs Tong said.

Titles include award winning New Zealand film Boy, featuring Academy Award nominee Taika Waititi, Australian film Ali’s Wedding, the Wim Wenders documentary Buena Vista Social Club and

French film Delicacy, starring Audrey Tautou.

“Joining the library means members can borrow the DVDs for free. Membership is available to all residents.

All you need is identification showing your address,” Mrs

Tong said.

As the society’s licence only allows them to screen the DVDs once, their quality is near new.

The next planned screen-

ing of the society’s 2020 films takes place on Sunday, February 16, at 4pm, at the Dubbo Regional Theatre. The films are Icelandic comedy Woman at War and documentary,

Mark COULTON MP FEDERAL MEMBER FOR PARKES SMALL BUSINESS DROUGHT LOANS AVAILABLE I’m pleased that the new Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) loan for farm-dependent small businesses is now available to eligible businesses in my electorate.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of rural and regional communities, and they’re doing their best to serve farm businesses also affected by this drought.

Those businesses – livestock transporters, equipment repairers, harvesting contractors – can use these small business drought loans to refinance existing debt or just keep their businesses going until the drought breaks.

Loans of up to $500,000 are available with a two-year interest free period. Following those first two years, concessional interest-only payments will apply before principal and interest payments are required in the final five years of the 10-year loan term.

Guidelines and application forms for these new loans are available on the RIC’s website www.ric.gov.au Authorised by M Coulton MP, National Party of Australia, Shop 3, 153 Brisbane St, Dubbo NSW 2830 using Parliamentary entitlements.

YOUR STARS ARIES: If it’s been a while since your kids moved away from home, you may decide to sell the house in order to gain a little more freedom. If you’re in a new relationship, you can expect a marriage proposal.

TAURUS: There will be lots to talk about this week. At work, you’ll expand your client base and succeed in bringing your staff together to make things run more smoothly.

Your suggestions and advice will be appreciated.

GEMINI: Finances are a source of stress for many. Take the time to get in touch with the right people who can help you find practical solutions and give you a break.

CANCER: You’re practically ready to conquer the world. You’ll undoubtedly have the inspiration to take on a stimulating professional or personal challenge.

LEO: You appreciate good company and devote yourself to those you

love. Some may take advantage of your good nature, and you’ll let them continue to for a while.

VIRGO: It’ll be a stressful week for one reason or another. You’ll be motivated to take better care of yourself, if only by doing more exercise.

LIBRA: Unforeseen circumstances can put you behind schedule. Leave some time between appointments to avoid stressing if things run late.

This is an excellent time to strike out on your own.

SCORPIO: Some friends will invite you to join them on a spontaneous trip. Nothing brings you more joy than breaking up your winter routine and burying your feet in the warm sand.

SAGITTARIUS: You’ll experience a whole range of emotions. You

may clean up your circle of friends, as some of them are parasites who don’t deserve your time.

CAPRICORN: You may be pressured to make a big decision. Before you do, however, you should take the time to gather all the available information so you can weigh the pros and cons.

AQUARIUS: At work, you’ll find yourself with a mountain of urgent work to be completed. This situation may be stressful, but it’ll prove useful to your professional development.

PISCES: Even if you prefer to remain on the sidelines, you’ll be in the spotlight this week. You’ll find yourself in a situation that requires you to come out of your shell, such as on stage or in front of a crowd.

The luckiest signs this week: Leo, Virgo and Libra.

ALTHOUGH more than 10,000 books have already been sorted, the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie is calling for more donations of clean books in good order.

The annual Michael Egan Memorial Book Fair will be held on May 2-3 this year, and co-ordinator Peter English says there will be more books on offer than ever before.

The club still needs more books to help meet the need of the city’s keen book-lovers, and is appealing to people to clear out their shelves and garages and bring their unwanted books to the drop off point at Meals on Wheels in Mountbatten Drive today, Thursday, January 30, during office hours.

“We keep thinking that the city and the region must have cleaned out their unwanted books by now over the past 10 years” Mr English said. “But they keep on coming much to our amazement and we are very grateful.”

The club has asked people to donate books in good condition, but is not able to take encyclopedias, magazines, VHS tapes or any books in damaged condition or with missing covers.

Two further collection days will be held on February 27 and March 19, and donations will also be accepted on the set-up day on Friday, May 1.

AUSTRALIA DAY AWARD

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

BackTrack’s Bernie a local hero

By JOHN RYAN

BERNIE SHAKESHAFT is no stranger to Dubbo, having helped local organisations set up strategies to assist vulnerable youth in the city.

Now the founder and driving force behind the BackTrack Youth Works Program has been recognised for his stellar community contribution, receiving the nation’s Local Hero gong in this year’s Australia Day awards.

Dubbo Photo News has followed his amazing story for a long time and helped raise awareness of what he does in the Dubbo region.

After seeing the plight of disadvantaged youth in his community, Bernie decided to act back in 2006.

Starting with little more than a shed and an idea, he founded the BackTrack Youth Works Program, turning around the lives of some of Australia’s most vulnerable kids.

Using the skills he developed growing up and as jackaroo in the Northern Territory and learning from the Aboriginal trackers, Bernie developed an award-winning program that uses animal-assisted learning, agricultural skills and a residential facility.

He and his extraordinary

team have helped over 1,000 children reconnect with their education, training, families and community, offering them love and support to live out their hopes and dreams The BackTrack program, now the subject of highly

commended documentary Backtrack Boys, has the support of magistrates, police and mayors.

It has helped decrease the youth crime rate in his home town of Armidale by more than 38 per cent, saving mil-

ICON

Get smart: New water meters to roll out soon

End of an era for printing business

By NATALIE LEWIS ONE of Wellingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most iconic brands is up for sale, with the opportunity for the new owner to take Twin Rivers Printing beyond its third decade. Owners Barry and Naomi Jeffery bought the business in 1998. Since that time, the pair has witnessed great changes in the printing industry which has been transformed by the digital age. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The industry has changed with the advent of digital printing. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s changed a lot,â&#x20AC;? Mr Jeffery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We started out as an offset printer using the metal plate method on a single colour machine. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those were the good old days,â&#x20AC;? he laughed.

While that element of the business certainly made life easier, it came with its own challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become easier to be a printer with the technology thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been introduced, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a learning curve for me.

The process of putting ink on paper is easier now but you need more graphic arts and computer knowledge. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We initially did a course through TAFE which was Word and Publisher. Since then we have learned from our own mistakes.â&#x20AC;?

The Jefferys print many kinds of documents, including programs, orders of service and wedding stationery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I take orders of service pretty seriously because it is one the last things you are going to do for your relative,â&#x20AC;? Mr Jeffery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our specialties is race books. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been doing race books for the Wellington district for 20 years. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been lucky with other programs such as the eisteddfod. We love being a part of that and helping the community out. Those jobs we try to do at a reasonable cost because we want to get it for a long time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have also picked up contracts from other little towns.â&#x20AC;?

Mr Jeffery has remained humble in his work and says that keeping prices reasonable and customers happy is their primary concern. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Return business has always been our goal,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you (are asked to) do a job again, you know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a good job the first time. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good feeling.â&#x20AC;?

Over the years, the couple has done plenty of large print jobs, including the annual Wellington Boot racing carnival program which has a very quick turnaround from when the field is announced to race day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have had to stay up all night to get jobs done. The Boot Carnival needs 3000 books. We did get one contract where we pulled a weekender starting at 5am on Friday and finishing at 8pm on Sunday â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that was 12,000 race books. But people have their deadline and before

For the past two decades Barry and Naomi Jeffery have been tending to the Wellington regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s printing needs and in that time, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen many changes in the industry. Now, they say, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a change of their own.

THE planned delivery of smart water meters on every property connected to reticulated water in the Dubbo region will soon become reality, with Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) last week announcing the successful contractor.

Taggle Systems has been selected through a formal tender process and will work with DRC to deliver the new technology to residents and businesses.

Council called for tenders for the supply and installation of smart meter technology for its entire fleet of water meters, including the development of an integrated water billing platform and a customer access portal in late 2019.

Council will fully fund this significant step in water management through its existing budget without the need to pass on any costs to ratepayers.

Once the smart water meters are rolled out to each property, an online portal will be launched so residents and business owners can log in and view their water consumption in real time.

The roll-out is expected to commence in the coming months. Disruption to residents and occupants will be minimal with the process taking approximately 20mins to fit to each home and business.

we take on the job, we know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s involved. I would never take on more than I could deliver.â&#x20AC;?

The business has also diversified into trophies in recent times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a good sideline and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been really touched to see all the good things that kids are doing. That is a good feeling.â&#x20AC;?

Twin Rivers Printing has remained a small company in order to maintain a loyal customer base over the past 22 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do the artwork and design and email to the client. We can do up to 2000 or 3000 copies but anything over that is a bit harder. If we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t handle it or it becomes too big, we can always outsource it.â&#x20AC;?

With the expansion of digital printing at home, a lot of people have used it to DIY their own stationery needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There have been more and more of them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that does happen a lot but I think more people are also realising that if they need a lot, they are better off getting them printed professionally. Most people have an ink jet printer but after a while they realise that its cheaper to do it elsewhere. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to do 10-12 copies but anything past that is not cost-effective.â&#x20AC;?

Asked what stands out about his time as a printer, Mr Jeffery recounted fond memories of the Wellington community, even though he has worked very hard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hard work stands out more than anything!â&#x20AC;? he laughed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard running a business, particularly with some of the deadlines. We are always working our butts off. We finish a job and then it starts off again.

If I could give my younger self advice, it would be to get more sleep!â&#x20AC;?

There have also been many other factors impacting the

business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The NBN, GST â&#x20AC;&#x201C; things like that make it hard for small business. One of the biggest problems we faced was the horse â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;flu.

There wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a race book done for 12 months. That was pretty tough. Now weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re struggling with the drought. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We normally do a lot of stock sale catalogues but they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being done anymore.â&#x20AC;?

With the sale sign in the window since early December, Mr Jeffery said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d â&#x20AC;&#x153;like to go out remembering the people weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped and the events weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve helped keep goingâ&#x20AC;?. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to close the business but I am getting older, the equipment is getting older and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very expensive to replace. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d prefer to sell it as a going concern and keep it going. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a look at keeping it going off-premises, making a smaller operation. Ninety per cent of work comes via the internet. But I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to work until I drop.

Closing down is the absolute last resort. We still hope to be here in some fashion.â&#x20AC;?

Twin Rivers Printing has always been a family affair, with Barry and Naomiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s daughter Kate involved in the business too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have raised our daughter at the same time,â&#x20AC;? Mr Jeffery explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Kate has grown up in the business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We bought the business in April and Kate was born in September 1998. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always been family-oriented.â&#x20AC;?

The Jefferys are positive about the future and thankful for the support of the Wellington community in their business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the other reason weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put in extra effort to print local events at a reasonable cost and try to make it a success. Thanks to the people that have supported us over the years. They have been pretty loyal.â&#x20AC;?

EMERGENCY REPORT NEWS OPINION AND ANALYSIS

by JOHN RYAN

Australia Day Ambassador Peter Gibbs.

Gibbs a great ambassador PETER “CHICKA” GIBBS was Dubbo’s Australia Day ambassador this year and I’m proud to call him a mate. His advocacy of the need for more Aboriginal police led to the creation of the Indigenous Police Recruitment Our Way Delivery Program (IPROWD) which has built pathways and resources to assist with getting people ready to sit the exam for the NSW police academy.

In many if not all cases, the people who have since gone on to succeed in all walks of life were only able to do that on the back of this extraordinary opportunity of mentoring from the IPROWD program.

This is one of the most significant steps forward in the history of NSW policing.

Dubbo top cop award DETECTIVE Superintendent Peter Mckenna commands the Orana Mid-Western Police district and is one of nine in the NSW Police Force recognised in the 2020 Australia Day awards.

Mr Mckenna received the prestigious Australian Police Medal (APM), an award established in 1986.

which led to the arrest of hundreds of offenders on the Child Protection Register.

Cop assaulted

lice Force in 1990 and was confirmed as a constable at Castle Hill Police Station. In 1992 he successfully applied for a position in the Parramatta District Anti-Theft Unit and transferred to Lismore Police Station in 1994.

In 1997 he commenced a career in criminal investigations in the Northern Region of NSW and was promoted to detective sergeant at Forster Police Station.

In 2006 came a promotion to Inspector and in 2017 he was

promoted to his current rank and position, based in Dubbo.

During his career, Detective Superintendent McKenna has consistently achieved high academic results and was awarded the Detective Medallion (1st place) in the Detectives Education Program.

His achievements include involvement with the hunt for Malcolm Naden under Strike Force Durkin, the targeting of outlaw motorcycle gangs (OMCG) under Operation Garwi, and the instigation of Operation Twigg,

IN most professions you don’t expect to be bashed just for showing up to work, but along the thin blue line it’s a daily occupational hazard.

On January 24, police attached to the Western Region Domestic Violence High Risk Offenders team were patrolling the Wellington CBD and approached a man wanted on an outstanding warrant on Railway Avenue.

The man did the bolt and allegedly deliberately ran into an officer, which caused the officer to fall backwards, crack his head on the ground and momentarily lose consciousness.

After a brief struggle with other police, the 23-year-old man was arrested and taken to Wellington Police Station where an outstanding warrant was executed.

He was also charged with assault police officer in execution of duty, cause actual bodily harm, resist officer in execution of duty, possess prohibited drug and three counts of goods in personal custody suspected of being stolen.

The man was formally refused bail to appear at Dubbo Local Court late this week.

The officer remains off duty and is receiving medical treatment.

Alectown tragedy INCREDIBLY sad news from Alectown with a 38-year-old woman killed after debris from a truck struck the vehicle in which she was travelling on January 24.

Officers from Central West Police District worked to revive the victim but despite their best attempts she died at the scene.

The 42-year-old man driving the Toyota Prado in which she was a passenger and three boys aged four, six and nine, were taken to Parkes Hospital as a precaution but were released.

Police have charged the 52-yearold truck driver with drive unsafely loaded vehicle causing death.

He was granted strict conditional bail and is due to appear at Parkes Local Court on March 16.

Investigations are continuing.

Wild west weather A MATE near Wellington told me a storm that went through at the weekend had washed a new, four-foot deep gully on a neighbouring property, so fierce was the downpour and associated run-off.

Burrendong Arboretum was wondering how to keep many incredibly rare native plants alive one minute, and sloshing out flood water the next, after a 35mm deluge fell in less than 10 minutes.

Some Geurie residents received 70-plus millimetres of rain in brief storms, flooding areas that copped a similar hammering just a few short weeks ago.

The Unger’s Peak Hill property was in the path of a mini-tornado which caused tens of thousands of dollars

damage to sheds and other property.

And as welcome as the rain is, we’re left to wonder how many millions of fish may have been killed because of the filthy nutrient run-off from farmland into our creeks and rivers, where there’s not enough water flowing to dilute the poisons that rush in.

Fatal charges THE 70-year-old man who was driving a ute involved in a fatal collision with a motorbike at Maryvale (just north of Wellington on the Mitchell Highway) on December 31, was arrested at Orange police station last Sunday (January 26).

He’s been charged with dangerous driving occasioning death, negligent driving occasioning death and cause bodily harm through misconduct.

The male rider who was killed in the crash is believed to have been in his 20s.

The 70-year-old was granted conditional bail to appear at Wellington Local Court on March 19.

Got him!

IT was a cowardly crime that disgusted residents in Dubbo and well beyond, but police have allegedly nabbed their man for the aggravated robbery of an elderly woman in Dubbo last week.

About 1.30pm on January 21, a 74-year-old woman parked her silver Nissan Pulsar in Macquarie Street before she entered a number of shops and used an ATM. At 2pm she returned to her vehicle and observed a man following her.

As she went to place her shopping into the boot of her car she was struck on the back of her head.

A brief struggle ensued where the man took the car keys from the woman’s hands before he entered the vehicle and drove from the scene in a northerly direction on Bligh Street.

As the man drove away, he reversed the car over the woman’s feet, causing her to fall and hit her head on the roadway.

The 74-year-old was taken to Dubbo Base Hospital by NSW Ambulance paramedics, where she was treated for a laceration to the back of her head, soreness to both her feet, legs and right shoulder and a black eye.

Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District attended and pursued the vehicle for a short time before the pursuit was ceased due to the serious risk to the public as a result of the man’s manner of driving.

An investigation was commenced

by Orana Mid-Western Detectives in a bid to identify the man.

On January 23, an off-duty police officer sighted the man believed to have been the perpetrator and officers attended a business car park on Wingewarra and Bligh streets and arrested the 22-year-old.

Upon searching him, police allegedly located a large knife.

He was taken to Dubbo police station where he also allegedly assaulted a constable, causing a minor laceration to his lip.

He was charged with aggravat-

Two other girls sustained minor cuts and abrasions to their legs and arms.

Family members of the 15-yearold victim have told Dubbo Photo News they dispute claims the girls weren’t going to pay the cab fare.

Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the incident are continuing.

ed robbery with wounding, two counts of police pursuit (drive dangerously), take and drive conveyance without consent, carry cutting weapon upon apprehension, assault police cause actual bodily harm and drive whilst disqualified.

He was refused bail by police to appear before Dubbo Local Court.

Girl taxi injury ABOUT 10.45pm on January 24, emergency services were called to the intersection of Armstrong Crescent and Columbia Drive following reports a girl was unconscious on the side of the road.

Police have been told that about 10.30pm, a group of seven teenage girls called a taxi to Talbragar

Street, Dubbo, to drive them to Armstrong Crescent.

Upon arrival at the destination, the taxi stopped momentarily and drove off again when the driver noticed the girls exiting the vehicle prior to paying.

It is believed five of the passengers exited the vehicle while it was still moving.

The taxi stopped soon after and the other two passengers exited after they paid the driver, a 49-year-old man.

The taxi then left the scene.

A 15-year-old girl was treated at the scene by NSW Ambulance paramedics before being taken to Dubbo Base Hospital.

She was airlifted to The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in a serious but stable condition.

THE road to Newcastle is still closed weeks after a fuel tanker dropped its rear trailer and scraped the bitumen for a couple of hundred metres, spilling about 31,000 litres of diesel and unleaded petrol as it skidded to a halt.

The section of road impacted by the spill has been excavated with Transport for NSW continuing to work with the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) to assess any environmental impacts.

More than 7000 tonnes of material have been removed from the section of affected road. The material will be taken for stockpiling and future treatment and disposal under the direction of the EPA. According to a Transport for NSW spokesperson, a two-kilometre detour is in place and is suitable for all vehicles via Cobbora Road and Muronbung Road, adding just five minutes additional travel time between Dubbo and Dunedoo, and all road repair costs will be covered by insurance.

Dubbo Photo News has asked for all the reasoning and scientific data behind such an immense effort but at the time of going to print, no answers from any-

Because

one in any department had been forthcoming.

Parkes fatal POLICE are investigating the death of a man after a single-vehicle roll-over near Parkes on the morning of January 27.

Police believe the vehicle left the road and rolled multiple times, coming to rest in a paddock.

The driver and sole-occupant of the vehicle died at the scene. He’s yet to be formally identified but is believed to be aged in his 70s.

Officers from Central West Police District established a crime scene and commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash.

A report will be prepared for the information of the coroner.

Mudgee motorbike death A MOTORCYCLIST believed to be in his 60s was killed after a collision with a hatchback near Windeyer, about 30km south of Mudgee, on January 23.

The rider died at the scene, and the 51-year-old female driver of the hatchback was taken to Mudgee Hospital for mandatory testing.

Officers attached to Orana Mid-Western Police District established a crime scene with the Crash Investigation Unit investigating the circumstances surrounding the crash.

A report will be prepared for the information of the coroner.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Cobar guns

POLICE arrested a 34-year-old man at a property in Cobar on January 22 following an investigation into the theft and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition in the state’s west last year.

Officers from Central North Police District, assisted by the Rural Crime Prevention Team, established Strike Force Akoonah to investigate the theft and illegal possession of firearms and during the investigation police seized four firearms, firearm parts and a large amount of ammunition which will be forensically examined.

The man was charged with aggravated possession of firearms, not keep firearms safely, two counts of possession of ammunition without licence and two counts of breaching firearms prohibition order.

Central North Police District Commander, Superintendent Andrew Hurst, said this arrest is the result of a lengthy investigation by detectives and the Rural Crime Prevention Team, assisted by general duties officers, the Target Action Group (TAG) and the Traffic and Highway Patrol Command.

“This investigation has removed illicit firearms from the community and maintains a commitment by the Central North Police District to focus on rural crime issues, target rural crime offenders and disrupt criminal activities,” Superintendent Hurst said. z Send your news tips to john.ryan@panscott.com.au or 0429 452 245 txt is best

By JOHN RYAN ALI ARICI works in sales at a Dubbo-based automotive parts business, but as well as being passionate about modifying motor vehicles, he’s also concerned about the plight of those impacted by the bushfires that have swept the nation’s eastern states.

“I just got really passionate and started getting a bit emotional about everything that was happening around the country and I thought surely there’s something we can all come together as a community and do,” Mr Arici said.

He’s heavily involved in the car industry and his first thoughts on staging a fundraiser were based on his many mates and contacts in the sector.

“I wanted to show that the car community can come together and do a good thing.

“In the past I have put together a few things, (but) not to this

scale – it’s blown out of proportion really quickly. This is something I just started planning on my own accord three weeks ago and it’s gone from zero to 100 really quickly,” he said.

He’s organised a car show at Hannaford Tyre and Suspension on February 15 starting at 4pm and so far, 25 local businesses have come on board with various goods and services to raffle and use as prizes, with all proceeds being donated to charities.

Mr Arici said cars or bikes can “just rock up” at the event without pre-entry, and everyone is welcome. There will be a $10 entry fee for cars, which all goes straight to the cause.

“On the night there will be a barbeque, Turkish baklava – it’s delicious and my mum’s making it all herself – and we’re looking at getting a coffee van on board.

“Raffle tickets will be available for purchase and a silent auction will be running on the night.

We’re trying to mix it up a bit to get as many people together to raise as many funds as possible to help our fellow Aussies.”

The local good Samaritan said he’s been “blown away” by the response from not only his mates and people he deals with in the local automotive sector, but from the entire community as word of mouth spread news of the fundraiser.

“I think Dubbo was waiting for someone to do something for this cause and from the second I announced it, I’ve just been flooded from businesses, individuals, all the workshop staff here at work – they’re buying full books of raffle tickets which are just over $300 on their own,” Mr Arici said.

“Nearly all these businesses have come to me and wanted to really jump on board and drive this cause. I’d like to thank everybody for helping.

“As an individual I actually feel really proud, and because of this

response I’m proud to call Dubbo home. There’s always a lot of negative feeling out there but seeing something like this come together and so many people are getting on board (is positive),” he said.

The funds raised will be split evenly between humanitarian and wildlife aid, with half going to Red Cross Australia and the other 50 per cent to WIRES NSW. He said he’s seen criticism of charities withholding donated monies and having high administration costs but believed there’s always two sides to every story.

“I can certainly see the side where charities haven’t released all the donated money at once (but) it’s not just a problem that can be fixed in the short term at all. It will be an ongoing issue where people will need help in six months’ time from these fires, so I can understand (Red Cross) holding on to the funds,” Mr Arici said.

‘Misleading media’ fuels Red Cross hate campaign AUSTRALIAN Red Cross was forced to withdraw from engagement on social media for a few days this week after several security incidents, with the matter being referred to police.

The organisation was targeted in a hate campaign after claims it was withholding donations made for bushfire victims.

While there have long been allegations of some charities, both large and small, not being transparent with donations, it is a complex issue. Donors are urged to satisfy themselves that their donations will go to those for

whom it’s intended.

This message was issued by Red Cross last week: “We’ve been getting a lot of questions about the way we’re using donations to help bushfire-affected communities. These questions are important. They’ve come about because of misleading information in the media and we’re getting in touch to clarify exactly how these donations are being spent.

“Every cent donated to our Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund goes to our humanitarian response to disasters in Australia.

“More than 95 per cent

of donations to this fund came in for the summer bushfires specifically, and that’s exactly where they’re going. We’ve committed $30 million right now to help people whose homes were destroyed to meet immediate needs. Our emergency grants program opened two weeks ago – when we first knew we had the funds to make it happen – and as of today we’ve paid almost 700 grants.

“For the past few days, we’ve been paying an average of $1 million per day in grants. That’s because of the superhuman efforts of our team, who’ve been processing applications, weeding out

fakes and bots, calling people to collect information, and notifying people that money is on the way.

“How we spend the rest of the funds is being informed by the communities themselves, and their leaders, and guided by four independent experts who, between them, have years of professional expertise and lived experience in disaster recovery.

“More financial assistance is coming, together with all the other things people need to recover well.

“We’re using less than 10 cents in the dollar to make this work happen.

To ensure we have systems that process grants

securely, office space for our teams to work in, fuel for the cars we take to affected communities, equipment and training for our volunteers. Any interest earned on money in the Disaster Relief and Recovery Fund will go right back to our relief and recovery effort. We’re not using it for anything else.

“The recovery effort will take time. It will take years. And it will be unique to each community.

“Thanks to you, we will be there to help people process their grief, take stock of their losses, start to rebuild, feel safe and thrive.

HEADING back to school can be a difficult time for some young people, but local health service headspace, is ready to help. headspace Dubbo’s Centre Manager, Marijka Brennan, said there a number of factors can make returning to school challenging.

“It’s not uncommon for young people to have difficulty making new friends, feel pressured to achieve, deal with bullying and experience a mental health concern.

“These stressors can make the next few weeks an uncertain time,” Ms Brennan said.

During this period, Ms Brennan encourages parents to look out for signs that suggest a young person might be experiencing a tough time.

“Most parents can tell when something is out of the ordinary.

Signs to look out for are often new and noticeable changes in the young person that last for a few weeks.”

According to Ms Brennan, these signs can include not enjoying what they used to enjoy, changes in appetite and sleeping patterns, being easily irritated or angry for no reason, seeming down or crying for no reason and expressing negative, distressing or unusual thoughts.

Parents are encouraged to maintain open and honest communication with young people and reassure them that support is available.

“There are also useful tips available through the headspace website – but the most important thing to remember is that we’re here to support parents as much as young people and we encourage them to make an appointment if they’re concerned,” Ms Brennan said. headspace Dubbo also hosts early intervention workshops and groups to equip young people with tools to help them maintain a mentally healthy mind.

The centre will be running a Tuning into Teens group beginning Monday, February 10.

The program runs for six sessions and is designed to support parents to help and teach their teenage children to control, understand and express their emotions in health and positive ways.

Local golf talent to the fore as Ella named in Open ďŹ eld ONE of the rising stars of the golf world will get the chance to shine on the international stage, with 14-year-old Dubbo junior Ella Murray being named in the field for the 2020 Worrells NSW Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Open being staged at Dubbo Golf Club next month.

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders wrote to Golf NSW in August last year asking that the talented youngster be granted a place in the field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thank them for making that happen,â&#x20AC;? he said, praising the Dubbo College South Campus Year 9 student as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a phenomenal golferâ&#x20AC;? whose inclusion will further bolster the already great local interest in the tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wrote to Golf NSW back in August last year to ask that Ella be granted a place in the field, and I thank them for making that happen,â&#x20AC;?

BUSHFIRE RECOVERY

IN THE LINE OF FIRE Ready and Willing for new role

Mick Willing grew up in Dubbo and completed his schooling at Delroy High School. His police career has been a series of meteoric rises since his time as crime manager at Dubbo’s Orana Local Area Command, to becoming the youngest superintendant in the history of the NSW Police Force.

He was the longest serving boss of the state’s prestigious Homicide Squad before being promoted to assistant commissioner and now he’s been named to head up the NSW disaster relief and recovery while bushfires are still burning across the state, and summer is far from over.

Assistant Commissioner Michael “Mick” Willing APM chose Dubbo Photo News for his first in-depth interview since taking the reins as the State Recovery Co-ordinator and spoke with JOHN RYAN about his new and incredibly challenging role.

What’s the title of your role and the actual job description/brief you’ve been tasked with?

By way of a little background, I was at the NSW Rural Fire Service on Saturday, January 4, with Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys on what was expected to be a challenging day for all, given the weather.

That afternoon the federal government announced it would send 3000-odd Australian Defence Force (ADF) troops into fire affected areas and a decision was taken by the NSW government shortly after that announcement to put me in charge of coordinating the ADF response with existing state arrangements.

Over the next couple of days, a further decision was taken by government to put me in overall charge of the initial bushfire recovery efforts given the size and scale of the immediate relief effort needed.

My official title is still as a police Assistant Commissioner, but for this initial period I am the State Recovery Coordinator for the bushfire disaster.

I have a small team of police officers supporting me and also Marg Prendergast from Transport for NSW, whose most recent position was as the Coordinator General for all of NSW for Transport.

Marg has been put over the top of the NSW Office of Emergency Management and reports directly to me. She is a good friend and an amazing person who cuts through things to get the job done, and we have worked together in the past, most recently when I was the police Counter Terrorism Commander.

` The line between responding to the disaster on the ground and community recovery has been blurred and will, in my view, never be the same. a

Mick Willing (right) in his new role. PHOTO: SUPPLIED At this stage, what do you think your role will actually encompass?

Good question. It is kind of a developing thing given the fact that the state has never experienced a disaster of this magnitude and there is a need to cut through red tape where possible to get help to where it is needed.

However, in a broad sense I have responsibility for working with the ADF to ensure their capability is put to best use where it is needed (in that regard I have a great relationship with Brigadier General Mick Garraway AM who is attached to me), coordinating NSW government agencies to drive recovery across a range of areas including disaster funding (Treasury), infrastructure, health and well-being, waste and environment, animals and agriculture, business, tourism and industry, along with Service NSW and also local government.

I am also interacting with the federal government and in particular the newly established National Bushfire Recovery Agency which is now headed up by another mate of mine, former Australian Federal Police Commissioner Andrew Colvin APM OAM. Who do you report to?

I actually report to the NSW State Recovery Committee but, in reality, it is to the Deputy Premier, John Barilaro, and ultimately the Premier, Gladys Berejiklian. I have daily access to both (of them) when and if I need it and both have been extremely supportive of me personally and of the team around me trying to get the job done.

Where do you start?

For me it was important to remember that the recovery process was already underway for a number of weeks in the northern part of the state, and also in the areas surrounding greater Sydney, before the horrific events of New Year’s Eve and after on the South Coast of NSW. To that extent, former Victorian Country Fire Authority boss Euan Ferguson and former NSW Police Force Senior Assistant Commis-

sioner Dick Adams, both extraordinary people in their own right, were already in place as Regional Recovery Co-ordinators for the northern and southern areas of the state respectively. They both now report to me.

Before I came on board, there were already many, many people who needed help and were trying to rebuild their lives.

That was probably the basis for where I started mentally but given the enormous need to get immediate relief for the people down south, my attention was on getting ADF and government agency help mobilised in its rawest fundamental form – getting water and food to people, making sure people had emergency accommodation to go to, getting people away from danger (we had HMAS Adelaide off the southern coast and I put liaison officers on board in preparation to potentially evacuate thousands of people if it got to that).

It then moved to getting roads open so people could move, building distribution centres with the ADF for the massive amount of donated goods that have been received (a major problem, to be honest) and essential industry tasks like putting fires out at the Eden Woodchip Mill which has a huge impact on the local economy, and creating fire breaks to potentially save major cities (including Canberra) should things get worse in the coming months.

We are now moving in to a period where we are trying to deal with big ticket issues like getting the clean-up funding and contracts signed off so people can see progress, and working with entities like Destination NSW to work out how to stimulate tourism in affected areas.

What’s your initial assessment of the scale of the current, ongoing disaster; has Australia ever seen anything like this?

Remembering that I am a police officer in my “day job” and with the country in my heart, my simple answer is no. The nation has nev-

er seen anything of the scale and scope of this disaster. Of course the tragic loss of life has to this point not been like we saw in Victoria a few years ago, but the scale and breadth of destruction is something we have never seen before.

I could rattle off statistics: 5.1 million hectares of bush land lost, 80 per cent of the National Heritage areas in the Blue Mountains gone, 2368 homes destroyed in NSW alone (Victoria has around 200, not to downplay the trauma they have experienced), 2.7 million cubic tons of debris to be cleaned up, and the mental health trauma experienced across communities is unprecedented.

For most of these communities this all comes on the back of significant and historical drought conditions. It truly breaks your heart.

Why do you believe it’s the largest disaster in the nation’s history?

Firstly the sheer scale of the loss as described above.

Not in (terms of) human lives, as tragic as it has been, but the breadth of the community trauma across state boundaries.

The problem is that we still have at least two more months of extreme fire conditions to go.

We saw that the other day when we had roads closed and communities that were starting the recovery process, again isolated by new fires and of course in the middle of it all the loss of three contractors in the water bomber crash in the Snowy Mountains area.

The line between responding to the disaster on the ground and community recovery has been blurred and will, in my view, never be the same. We are trying to help people recover right in the middle of an active fire season like we have never seen before.

How does the work you’ve done during your career prepare you for this role?

I guess my experience working as a country police officer underpins my decision-making at my personal core (because) I think I understand things a bit differently from others. Of course, my experience in working with the ADF and federal government in the Counter Terrorism space has helped in understanding the military machine and what they can bring to a situation like this. As I mentioned before, my personal relationship with people like (former Australian Federal Po-

lice Commissioner) Andrew Colvin and others has also been hugely beneficial.

Tell us about the people you’ll be working with at the highest strategic levels – you’ve already worked with some of them before.

What do I say? The people at the highest levels of government at all strategic levels are, to an individual, completely invested in making sure we get the job done for those who need help as soon as possible. Yes, I have worked with some of them before but it is a personal privilege to work with them and others now under these circumstances.

Day to day, what have you been doing – how frantic is this role?

I feel sorry for my support staff who have been challenged more than me.

Their job is to look after me and to manage my day and this is so far outside of the norm that they are completely pulled from pillar to post every single day.

I think my staff adopt the adage that “you just can’t make this stuff up” every single day as they deal with the challenges we face.

They are great people though, and such a talented group of humans who will be there behind the scenes as the unsung heroes making things happen.

Is it your most challenging role to date?

Without a doubt, but it is my most important.

My Commissioner, Mick Fuller APM, has been there every step of the way with me offering advice and support as have others at the most senior levels of government.

His investment, and confidence, in me is something I can never repay other than to get the job done for the next couple of months until we move into the longer-term recovery process.

So far, I feel as stretched and as challenged mentally and emotionally as I have ever been in my life but I have a down-to-earth family that keeps me pretty grounded.

Anything you’d like to add?

Just to reinforce that this disaster comes on the back of the huge drought impact on country people.

I know that and feel it as a country boy.

I am, however, enthused by the response I have had from the ADF (Brigadier Garraway is also a NSW country boy) and the sense of urgency I get from the people in government we are dealing with day in and day out.

For me this is a short-term job before I get back to my policing career but an incredible and historical privilege.

There will be undoubtedly bumps in the road ahead but I am confident we will get the job done at the end of the day.

FISH DEATHS

Unlikely allies united in battle to save rivers

By JOHN RYAN RECENT fish kills along much of the Macquarie River have seen unlikely allies come together to call for all river stakeholders to advocate for government to do more to rebuild the resistance of inland waterways.

The first reported fish kill was just south of Dubbo, with the suspended sediment from filthy run-off coming from localised falls in the catchments of the Bell and Little Rivers creating a toxic sludge that poured into the Macquarie and de-oxygenated the water.

Hundreds of dead native fish, including giant Murray Cod, were found in one 50 metre stretch of the river alone.

Dubbo fishing business owner, Luke Carney, says the damage the dirty water has done is immense, not just to the river but to local businesses that are supported by visitors who come to fish out west.

“The fish kill is starting to catch up now – it hasn’t got to all of the river at this stage but it’s no doubt going to

have an impact the further we get into this drought,” Mr Carney told Dubbo Photo News, remarking that with fish kills getting national attention, no-one wants to come out this way to go fishing in opaque brown water.

“People looking at going on a fishing trip with their mates will steer clear of Dubbo, and it’s hard to keep people interested in fishing locally when the conditions are like they are. Even before we had this inrush of dirty water it was quiet for the last month so it’s pretty hard at the moment.”

The business owner is concerned many of the measures designed to protect habitat and native fish haven’t been implemented, including three fishways promised when Water NSW raised the wall at Burrendong Dam. He says this drought should be used to change things up and put proper policies in place to ensure the river will be improved into the future instead of being degraded.

“As bad as it is, it’s probably taken something like this to happen for everyone to re-

alise how poorly the water is managed and (that) it’s right across the board, it’s not just irrigators. As big as Dubbo is, it’s still only a little country town and we rely on that income from all the farmers,” Mr Carney said.

“When governments are voted in there’s all these promises made but no-one’s really delivered on anything yet so it’s a bit disheartening to see that they’re still allowed to get away with it.

“Everyone wants to see a healthy, natural river that’s sustainable as well so it’s a great tourist destination,” he said.

Mr Carney is disappointed that public policy doesn’t allocate far more resources to create much better habitats for native fish to thrive, with estimates up to 90 per cent of the native fish population has been decimated since colonisation.

He wants all stakeholders to come together and push state and federal governments to deliver, and support the work done by local fishing and environmental groups.

“There’s all the hard work

that a lot of people have gone and done along the rivers, to have it all come unstuck because of the way it’s run.

“There needs to be a safeguard put in place for the dam which is whatever per centage they come to an agreement with, whether it be 10 per cent or 20 per cent. There needs to be a safeguard there for cases like this where the water could have been diluted when they knew that storm was coming.

“A lot of the irrigators along the river, they’re also keen fisherman and they want healthy rivers as well for their kids and they’re trying to do the right thing, but everyone needs to work together to work out what’s really happening behind the scenes,” Mr Carney said, pointing to a local push that’s seen funding granted to trial elaborate fish screens on selected irrigation pumps to prevent wastage when na-

tive fish get sucked out of the river in their thousands.

“I think irrigators will be more than happy to put fish screens on their pumps.

They need some assistance to do that, it’s needs to be affordable for those blokes as well.”

Shane Smith, who manages the Trangie-Nevertire Irrigation Scheme and is a keen angler, met with Mr Carney in Dubbo this past week to continue the river conversation with Dubbo Photo News.

“It’s totally heartbreaking. The effects in the whole area are horrible and it’s all interconnected. Everyone’s dependent on the same resource, the same riverine environment,” Mr Smith said.

“It affects everybody. At the moment I’m not able to go in and buy fishing supplies because I haven’t been fishing, mainly due to the drought, and with the fish struggling in the river as

it was before the rain, I’ve just put fishing on the backburner and am waiting until things pick up.”

He said it was vital that fishing and environmental groups cooperate with a common aim.

“It’s important that everyone works together. The team at Inland Waterways and Matt Hansen, they do a wonderful job promoting a good fishing industry, sustainable fishing practices and so forth and also looking after the river, taking care of waste and creating fish habitat.

“Without groups like Inland Waterways the word just wouldn’t get out there properly. What they do is beneficial for the whole community whether it be up- or downstream, everybody gets a benefit for the work that they’ve done.”

RIVER HEALTH

The science behind fish deaths and what we can do to help SAM Davis is one of the most respected aquatic experts in the state and her role as senior fisheries manager for the NSW Department of Primary Industries gives her access to a rare level of insight across this part of the Murray Darling Basin.

She spoke with JOHN RYAN this week, highlighting her concerns about the recent spate of fish kills in the region. She also gives a glimpse into how she and her on-ground colleagues have prepared for and are working to mitigate the current crisis.

••• What is going on with our native fish in the Macquarie catchment?

The recent fish kills throughout the Macquarie catchment have been both widespread and lethal, stretching from the headwaters of Turon River, encompassing the mid-catchment areas of the Bell and Little Rivers and impacting on sections of the mainstem Macquarie River from the confluence with the Bell and as far downstream as Warren and beyond.

Reports from recreational anglers, farmers and on-ground inspections by DPI Fisheries staff indicate that thousands of native fish and crustaceans have perished.

Many of these fish have lived in the river for decades, successfully surviving the millennium drought.

Why are the fish deaths happening?

There are several things happening that are combining to compromise our native fish – sediment washed into the river by episodic rainfall clogs the gills of the fish, compromising their ability to absorb oxygen from the water.

This sediment is the reddish-terracotta colour we have seen in the river lately.

Secondly, the oxygen levels in the streams and rivers are drastically reduced, by either the sediment binding with oxygen in a chemical reaction or the accumulation of organic matter such as leaves, bark, sticks, animal faeces and grass that is washed in after rainfall or swept along a dry river bed.

As the organic matter breaks down, the decomposition process consumes all the oxygen in the river, causing a “slug” of de-oxygenated water stretching many kilometres to cut a lethal path along the river as it flows downstream with no escape for the fish.

This is what causes the unusual behaviour of fish gasping or breaching the surface of the river or driving themselves up the bank out of the water seeking oxygen.

Were you expecting this to happen?

Yes – DPI Fisheries anticipated widespread fish kills across the state and put a strategy in place

to assist with actions (note: see DPI website). The government has committed $10 M to undertake actions such as hatchery upgrades, broodstock collection, fish relocations and aerator installations to improve oxygen levels in certain scenarios.

Late last year, we collected breeding pairs of Murray cod, Golden perch and two rare species, olive perchlet and purple-spotted gudgeon from the Macquarie catchment and transported some of them to Narrandera Fisheries Centre to safeguard them.

The purple spotted gudgeon were placed in ponds of Taronga Western Plains Zoo in Dubbo.

They are in the best possible care and their progeny will form insurance populations.

What is an insurance population?

In a worst-case scenario, the hatch-

ery-bred and -raised offspring of these breeders will be used to boost populations totally depleted by fish kills.

We can assist with their recovery when the season breaks and conditions improve.

Disclosure: John Ryan is an elected councillor on Dubbo Regional Council.

What can WE do to help native fish? z Grow native vegetation on the stream banks (riparian area) and create buffer zones to filter run-off; z Modify or remove structures that form barriers to fish migration; z Have large woody debris (snags) in your streams – they are the coral reefs of our inland rivers; z Control or treat agricultural and urban run-off – prevent chemicals, litter and sediment entering creeks and rivers; z Provide water for stock offstream – when stock drink directly from streams they reduce water quality, cause bank and stream bed erosion, destroy riparian vegetation, stir up sediments and cause the loss of habitats for fish and other wildlife; z Protect your wetlands – use re-established wetlands as a filter for farm run-off.

Coal won’t hurt you, ScoMo, but it might bite you in the image Greg Smart ❚ OPINION AT the time, it was written off as part of the usual theatrics of Question Time, but it was the point of no return for Scott Morrison’s credibility on issues of the environment and energy.

Just on three years ago, then Federal Treasurer Morrison stood up in Question Time and answered a Dorothy Dixer from a Coalition backbencher about a strong economy and job, with a childish taunt for the Opposition while waving a piece of coal in their direction.

“This is coal. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be scared. It won’t hurt you.”

Cue much mirth and guffawing from the government benches while its members passed around the coal like a kindergarten show and tell.

Putting aside the fact that this sort of behaviour would not be tolerated in any normal working environment, consider the work that went into setting up this scene – the prepared “question”, the clean and lacquered piece of coal most likely supplied by the CEO of the Minerals Council of Australia (who, by coincidence, was appointed as a senior advisor to Morrison in mid-2019) – plus the flagrant flouting of the rule

banning props in the parliamentary chamber.

Morrison was obviously blinded by the urge to humiliate the Opposition on the day, and tellingly revealed his allegiance to the coal industry that has, in the light of the current bushfire disaster, come back to bite him.

What the “coal won’t hurt you” gibe did was give ammunition to any criticism of Morrison’s credibility in the event of a future climate influenced disaster.

Which is where we are today.

Combined with the photographs of a morose-looking Morrison sitting beachside in Hawaii while Austral-

ia burned, we could quite rightly question his commitment and focus on imminent threats to our environment and communities.

Being the marketer he is, when the Prime Minister did grace us with his presence, he tried to tell us the timing of the Hawaiian holiday was unavoidable due to his daughters’ school holidays; and forgot to tell us whose idea it was for his office to tell outright lies to journalists who were rightly asking whether the PM was in fact on holidays, was he in Hawaii and who, by the way, was the Acting PM? On his return, Morrison conceded he had caused

“great anxiety” by taking a holiday, then hit the ground for the obligatory photo opportunity, perhaps keen to put into practice his recent empathy training, provided by a tax payer funded consultant to the tune of $190,000 (again a sign of image over authenticity).

Given Morrison’s behaviour since the “coal won’t hurt you” farce, the Hawaii lies and the scale of annihilation up and down the Great Dividing Range, there was obviously going to be pushback from the community.

The response ranged from the confrontational (evacuees heckling Morrison at Cobargo) to the angry (the fatigued

and frustrated firefighter wanting the PM to f*** off) and the satirical (the creation of the social media hashtag #scottyfrommarketing).

Having lost the narrative about his response to the bushfire crisis, ever the marketer, Morrison’s response was to release a video to social media spruiking the government’s bushfire response.

The video was set to jaunty music and contained a litany of actiony nonsense: “more boots on the ground, more planes in the sky, more ships to sea...” and was authorised by the Liberal Party and Morrison, not the Australian government.

` What the “coal won’t hurt you” gibe did was give ammunition to any criticism of Morrison’s credibility in the event of a future climate influenced disaster. a Given the only advertising that requires political party authorisation is advertising of electoral matters, the video was misleading and partisan, and again left Morrison to defend his actions and integrity.

Morrison’s faltering public image is of his own making, placing him on the backfoot

and constantly scoring embarrassing own goals as he tries to control the news cycle with amateurish and embarrassing image re-sets. He has no-one else to blame for polling results which show only 32 per cent of polled voters approved of Morrison’s handling of the bushfire crisis.

If he had any ability to look past coal stunts in parliament and took on board the relationship between the environment and the economy he could have studied to gain his bachelor of economic geography, or at least meet with former fire chiefs who twice tried to schedule a meeting with him to warn of the extreme bushfire risk in a drought affected landscape.

Twenty-three former fire and emergency leaders (that is, expects in their field) could see looming disaster and wanted to lobby Morrison for more firefighting aircraft. But to no avail.

Morrison seems more concerned with filling his inner sanctum with ex-miners and ex-Newscorp employees. His Chief of Staff was the deputy director of the Minerals Council and was a lobbyist for Rio Tinto. His press secretary and speech writer are former employees of mining investor/climate change denier Rupert Murdoch.

Morrison is conflicted, compromised, and a credibility free zone. z Greg Smart lives and works in Dubbo, and is a keen observer of current affairs.

AUSTRALIA DAY

Awards celebrate spirit of The team at Dubbo Photo News joins with the wider community in congratulating all the very deserving recipients of Australia Day Awards presented by Dubbo Regional Council at ceremonies in both Dubbo and Wellington at the weekend.

DUBBO 2020 Citizen of the Year Award – Megan Hamblin

Megan has made a significant contribution to Dubbo and the Orana Region for many years.

She is the current Volunteer Hub Leader of Central Western NSW for St John Ambulance and a member of the NSW State Emergency Service. As Hub Leader, she helps manage the Central Western Region of NSW within St John Ambulance and undertakes countless hours of volunteer public service in the form of Event Health Services in the Orana Region. In the past two years, Megan has dedicated more than 1000 hours of her time to St John Ambulance (NSW) and has been recognised for this service in the form of receiving a Bronze Commendation from St John Ambulance (NSW). Megan was also very active in Girl Guides for eight years, receiving the

Girl Guide BP youth award and taking on a leadership and mentoring role for the junior guide for three different units.

Megan is held in very high regard due to her caring and community-minded nature and she freely gives her time for the betterment of the Community.

2020 Cultural Person of the Year Award – Jojo Joseph When Jojo first came to Dubbo in 2003, he joined ORISCON (Orana Residents of Indian Subcontinental Heritage) where he has been a key contributor to the Association’s activities each year. He was an integral member of the organising committee that held the Cross-Cultural Celebration in April last year at which Dubbo’s cultural diversity was celebrated. Jojo has held active and integral roles with a number of community-based multicultural activities across the city and has been Taylorr Nicho Ta ols, Wi W llow w Sco cott t , L ga Lo g n Ni N chols an and Flor oren ren e ce S ott cutt the cu Sc ute test s Aus u tralia D yfi Da figurees as theey en e jo oyeed t e festtivit th i iees in i Victo t ri to r a Park.

instrumental in assisting migrant families settle in to their new community. He is also a founding member of Dubbo’s chapter of Amnesty International. Council commended Jojo for his strong ethical and community values, which are demonstrated by his willingness to lead and support the people around him.

He is keen to get involved in all community activities, no matter how big or small. While he displays impressive leadership, organisational and empathic abilities, Jojo’s greatest strength is his ability to empower others.

2020 Services to Sports Award – Karen Granger Karen currently holds the position of Vice President of Dubbo Netball Association, is manager of a number of representative teams and continues to be actively involved with the sport despite no longer having children who play netball in the region.

However, her volunteering is not limited to netball, and over the years Karen has contributed to many other sporting groups and volunteer committees, including Dubbo RSL and Dubbo City Physical Culture Clubs, Dubbo Cycle Club, Orana Aquatic Swimming Club and the Dubbo District Pre School Board. Karen has previously been the recipient of other awards to recognise her contribution to the community and while she is active in sports, it is not just in this sector that she volunteers her time. Over the past five years, Karen has sacrificed her Christmas break to run the Royal Far West Accommodation at Manly to enable rural bush families to have an affordable beach holiday. Her selfless acts have been felt far and wide throughout the Dubbo community in many ways and she is an inspiration to the many families and individuals she has helped over the years.

2020 Young Sportsperson of the Year Award – Haylee Fuller Haylee works hard in the sport of cycling and is a credit both to the sport and the community of Dubbo, both of which she holds dear.

Those involved with the sport have no doubt Haylee will rise to representative level with potential for Commonwealth or Olympic representation. Her achievements are numerous – most recently at the 2020 Federation University Road Nationals she was crowned champion for the Junior U19 Women's Criterium – Gold; Sprint Jersey and Most Aggressive Rider and Junior U19 Women’s Road Race – Gold and Sprint Jersey. The criterium was not without drama as Haylee had a fall in the wet conditions when the road barriers came down in front of her. She displayed great mental strength to get up, continue and win.

Haylee’s list of achievements is long for one of such tender years – hers is a very rare talent that has the potential to lead her to great heights in the sport. It is her outstanding success and dedication to training in the sport of cycling that has earned her the title of 2020 Young Sportsperson of the Year.

2020 Sportsperson of the Year – Melanie Currey Melanie has achieved much in the past 12 months representing Dubbo at state and national level as well as representing Australia on the world stage. She embodies all the great qualities for which Australians are known. Although competing as an individual, she is always the one on the field cheering the loudest, motivating people and offering them a helping hand to push their hardest and complete some truly tough obstacles. She provided advice on training and nutrition for a young local on preparation for undertaking the Kokoda Trek. Melanie is the only Australian woman to compete in the 72-hour Agoge in Mongolia, an elite world obstacle race event. She represented Australia in the Australian OCR team as an elite independent athlete in Canada finishing in the top ten for her class, and placed first in her age in the 24-hour Spartan event in Iceland, which she

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

THE TOONS’ VIEWS

Reflect on the past without damaging hope for the future WELLINGTON’S Aidan Ryan wrote a social media post a few years ago and it surfaced again this year in time for Australia Day. A proud Aboriginal man, Aidan’s comment doesn’t shy away from the sufferings endured by generations of Indigenous people, but calls on everyone to treat others with respect, no matter their background.

Dubbo Photo News journalist John Ryan asked for and was given Aiden’s permission to share the post with readers: Australia Day: Today I celebrate waking up to live another day with my family and loved ones both black and white in the greatest country of all, Australia.

I just want to wish all my brothers and sisters, black and white, a wonderful day full of joy and happiness.

I don’t condone what happened in the past and I will always remember my ancestors and the pain and suffering they endured but I will not sit here and hate on my white friends and family every year on January 26 for something they had nothing to do with.

Aboriginal blood runs strong through my veins and I love my culture.

This day should always be remembered for what happened, but instead of all the hatred on this day I urge all my white and Aboriginal friends and family to come together as one and unite.

Aidan Ryan, Wellington

No fracking way we should allow neglect of natural resources The Editor, Re: “Governments fiddle while environment burns or blows away” – Dubbo Photo News, January 23-29.

I fully support the John Ryan’s views in his (opinion piece).

Towns, farming and indigenous

Abigail McLaughlin ❚ OPINION I SHARED someone’s opinion piece on Facebook last week asking for those of us who are suffering our third year of drought not to be forgotten in the chaos of the bushfires.

A lady from Kalbarri, Western Australia, had commented on the original: “Well that’s an ignorant, stupid thing to say – of course the media attention is focused on bushfires and native wildlife and most people are bright enough to realise there is still a drought.”

For me that we are even having to compare disasters to compete for attention is appalling – but probably necessary.

Drought might not have the immediate horrifying impact the fires had but it is no less devastating. It’s a slow, dirty decline, taking everything with it and testing the resilience of us caught in it.

communities have been universally neglected and natural resource management issues hijacked by the technological elite.

The water buy-backs had plenty of coverage last year and highlight the betrayal of those who are supposed to represent us. Cubbie Station in Dirranbandi, QLD, for example, has received a lot of attention over the years. I watched a video recently that showed one of the dams on the station when it was virtually full. It showed a light plane taking 20 minutes to fly from one side of the dam to the other. That’s how big the dam was. Dams are created along the river banks and stop water flowing into the river, known as water harvesting.

Is this contributing to dry river beds downstream?

A close eye needs to be kept on the practice of “fracking” as well. This being the process by which chemicals and water are used to fracture underground rock to extract oil and gas. It takes between 8 million and 32 million litres of water to frack a well. Wells can be fracked multiple times. There are (a number of) frack wells in Australia, mainly in WA, QLD, NT and some restrictions are placed on fracking in NSW. Does the government want to turn Australia into a huge quarry, at the expense of people’s livelihoods and the environment?

Fracking must have an effect on the amount of water traveling downstream. Streams are also fed by underground springs, not only rainfall. State and federal governments should be standing up for the people they represent. Social inequality comes as a result of politicians being an appendage of the corporations.

An integrity unit is a must in this climate.

Psst... over here: Don’t forget the slow burn of drought Our hearts bled for those who suffered through those terrible fires. We watched in horror as ferocious walls of flame rolled through communities decimating all before them. We held bushfire fundraisers in our small drought-affected communities because suddenly, overnight almost, it appeared there were people worse off than us. We all looked out at our dry river beds, bare paddocks and struggling communities and said “at least it’s not fire”.

We digested the eye watering financial outlays we have made to buy hay and grain to keep stock alive, or to sink bores because state water has diverted our permanent creeks to help town supplies – and thought “at least it’s not fire”.

But then we saw politicians stand up and make billion-dollar funding pledges to help bush-

fire areas. We saw celebrities from around the world donating millions, and we applauded this, but we couldn’t help wonder what it would all mean for us out here battling our own much less picturesque disaster.

Now in the aftermath of the fires, it seems Mother Nature has returned her attention to us, sending in a barrage of dust storms so enormous they ironically resemble fire-fronts, blacking out the sun,

and covering us in someone else’s topsoil. Their sheer (photographic) enormity – as they bowl along and even (finally) climb the Blue Mountains to drop dirt on Sydney – has us back on the front page.

Now we have the media’s attention again we have an opportunity to give the real impact of the drought.

Like the bushfire zones, we have lost wildlife – kangaroos have perished in their thousands along dry creek beds, wetlands have dried up, platypus are at risk of extinction and native fish are dying in clumps of millions. ` We need to encourage We have also lost tourists. In my people to stay in our own small town, the river has been communities and be able dry for two years meaning the hunto reassure them the dreds of summertime water skiers ugliness of drought is not a have gone elsewhere. Our business forever thing... a houses might be still standing but without tourism and agriculture –

the biggest money spinners in most western shires – there’s not much happening.

Rebuilding will take years. It’s not just a matter of putting up a new house or planting new trees – we have to wait for rain to give us capacity. Until then – and who knows when that will be – we are stuck in this insipid decline.

In the meantime we need the sympathy of governments. The grants, the employment, the services, and the encouragement to keep going.

We need to encourage people to stay in our communities and be able to reassure them the ugliness of drought is not a forever thing. z Abigail McLaughlin is part of a family farming operation north east of Nyngan, and works for Bogan Shire Council in tourism and marketing.

Iconic t-shirt helps raise funds from afar Contributed by DEB KIEM IT seems the now iconic “I Love Dubbo” t-shirt is still working its magic around the globe, and this time it’s prompted a generous gesture from afar, as Mendooran reader Deb Kiem pointed out when she sent us this photo and message: “When I sent a Dubbo t-shirt to my nephew and niece in Amsterdam for Christmas, none of us knew then that it would be the perfect attire for their fundraising event at an Amsterdam Bar on January 24. Jegar and Jac Pitchforth raised well over 500 euros for bushfire aid in Australia. Proud of you both!” We second that, Aunty Deb – and thanks for sending the photo in.

handling the drought, but to also deliver messages of hope and goodwill. They took our stories back with them and shared them with their students, who may not fully comprehend just how dry it is at the moment.

As part of their visit, the teachers also presented the school with a number of handmade cards containing personalised messages of support from their students, which will be distributed to the school families in addition to some financial support for the school community. It really is a lovely gesture and for the students to know there is that wider support does help to boost spirits.

Lazarus’ legacy lives on Reader Robbie Taylor sent us this terrific photo of arguably one of the best-loved residents ever to call Taronga Western Plains Zoo home – Lazarus the magnificent male lion, who died unexpectedly over the Christmas period.

Lazarus’ health declined suddenly in late December and when the veterinary team anaesthetised him, they found he was in organ failure and had to make the heartbreaking decision to put the magnificent creature to sleep.

At a respectable 17 years old, Lazarus was considered geriatric and, given his age and the early signs of kidney disease, he had been closely monitored over the year leading up to his death.

Lazarus came to TWPZ from Auckland Zoo, and played a pivotal role in the conservation breeding program, becoming father to two litters of cubs after arriving at his new home in Dubbo.

Robbie said: “Very sad to read that we will not be able to see Lazarus at the zoo any more.

He was always a favourite subject for me.”

With photos like this, Robbie, we can see why! But while Lazarus has gone his genetic legacy lives on and we’re sure you’ll find many other remarkable creatures to shoot (with your camera, of course!) at our wonderful zoo.

Lazy Sunday by the river: Our photographer captured the essence of a lazy Sunday afternoon spent by the Macquarie River which, although affected like much of our region by the ravages of drought, is still a wonderful place to reconnect with some of the creatures that call it home.

Rotary, Rotary, Rotary... Oi Oi Oi Photos by THE ROTARY CLUB OF DUBBO MACQUARIE. WHAT would Australia Day be without a few snags on the barbie? And who better to cook a free brekkie for hungry revellers than the Rotary Club of Dubbo, whose members were up and at ‘em bright and early at Victoria Park?

On the menu were the usual tasty sausage sangas and bonza bacon and egg rolls, with some 600 lamingtons and a huge slab of Australia Day cake thrown in for dessert. The food was supplied by Dubbo Regional Council and the Rotarians all volunteered their time to, literally and figuratively, serve the community.

Members Christine Scales and Garry Brown were part of the bun brigade.

Chris Scales was on hand to help out with the barbecue.

Club members Lee Oddy and Suellyn Rees take a breather from serving brekkie.

MAYBE it was the good drop of rain the afternoon before or the excitement the award winners and new citizens brought with them, or perhaps it was a combination of both. Either way, there was a wonderful atmosphere that greeted those who entered Dubbo’s Victoria Park and gathered under the shade to join in the 2020 Australia Day celebration and ceremony.

A good crowd enjoyed a beautiful morning, including a free breakfast cooked by the Rotary Club of Dubbo Macquarie, a range of live entertainment, plen-

ty to keep the youngsters occupied and a number of displays, including the VRA (Volunteer Rescue Association) and a static display by volunteers from the Royal Flying Doctor Service’s local support group.

PUZZLE EXTRA GO FIGURE

Happy Birthday, Grant!

By SOPHIA ROUSE GRANT Maskey celebrated his 46th Birthday with a small gathering with his closest friends and family on Friday, January 24, at Club Dubbo. The happy group had a lovely lunch and a yummy slice of the birthday cake that was decorated with Grant’s favourite lollies. Grant’s actual birthday was on Saturday, January 18.

Right: The birthday boy, Grant Maskey

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.

ODDS, ENDS & INSPIRATION STRANGE BUT TRUE z It was noted Irish author and wit Oscar Wilde who made the following sage observation: “There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it.” z The very first CD of a musical recording was made in 1982. The album was “The Visitors” by Swedish pop superstars ABBA. z Immigrants arriving at New York’s Ellis Island in the early years (1892-1920s) were given bananas to eat. Many had never seen a banana and didn’t know how to eat one – some ate the whole thing, peel and all. z In the small African nation of Swaziland, the Civil Aviation Authority has set a ceiling of 500 feet on light aircraft. These aircraft, as well as kites and remote

controlled toys, are not allowed to go above that limit. Also included in the category of light aircraft are broomsticks. Any witch who flies on a broomstick above that limit is subject to a fine of more than $50,000 and possible arrest. z A researcher in Britain calculated that local farmland contains more than 2 million spiders per acre.

Must be small ones, I’d say. z If you’re thinking about moving to another country, you might want to consider Finland. In that country, employees are offered, on average, 44 paid vacation days every year. Of course, you might want to consider that even in the warm southwestern part of the country, winters last about 100 days, with snow covering the ground from mid-October to early May. z Early science-fiction author E.E.

“Doc” Smith wasn’t just a writer; he also was an engineer. He’s the guy who figured out how to get powdered sugar to stick to doughnuts. z I don’t know who studies such things, but those who do say that over the course of a lifetime, you’ll probably spend about three years in the toilet. z Thought for the Day: “To be capable of embarrassment is the beginning of moral consciousness.

Honour grows from qualms.” – John Leonard

NOW HERE’S A TIP z Before removing a splinter, ice the area. There will be less fussing, and a wooden splinter might absorb some liquid, causing it to swell enough to pop out a bit more. z “I used the odometer in my car to come up with several two-kil-

ometre routes for walking. Now I can vary my routine and be assured that I’ve walked 2km, which is my goal. I just drive from my house until I hit a kilometre on the trip odometer, and then I walk to that spot and back.” – I.L. z Use a tea infuser ball for aromatherapy. Apply several drops of essential oils to a cotton ball and place it inside the infuser basket.

Then simply hang it to distribute the scent. You can hang it from a light bulb or even in front of the air handler for your air conditioning or heating intake. z “The knob came off my pot lid because it cracked. I grabbed a wine cork and threaded it on the screw. It stays in place and is never hot when I need to remove the top.

Plus it looks cute.” – E.T. z Send your tips to now-heresa-tip@dubbophotonews.com.au

There has been a buzz around the Dubbo club since the outstanding Dubbo College South Campus athlete was handed a wild card entry into the 2020 Worrells NSW Women’s Open.

Member for Dubbo Dugald Saunders joined with Dubbo Golf Club captain Debbie Murray, ladies president Maureen Dempsey, club president Niall McNicol and general manager Rod Archer for the announcement, which comes just weeks out from the February 27– March 1 tournament at Dubbo Golf Course.

Ella’s rise through state junior and senior school ranks has been exciting Dubbo members since she first pulled out her pint-sized clubs.

Local Member Dugald Saunders says he wrote to Golf NSW in August last year to ask that Ella be included in the field, and appreciated their positive reply.

“Ella is a phenomenal golfer and to have her involved in this tournament, on her home course, is going to be great for her and add a lot of local interest to the event,” he said.

“This event will attract some very good golfers from across the world, and a lot of international attention will be focused on Dubbo. It’s a great opportunity for Ella and I think it will be a real boost going forward in attracting other young girls from regional NSW to the sport.”

For Ella, who plays off a handicap of 1, this is an incredible achievement considering she has only just started Year 9. Normal subjects may become secondary over the next month or so as her focus will be on studying the composite 18-hole course laid out for the tournament.

“It’s awesome to have an event like this being played here in Dubbo and to be in the field is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” Ella said.

“There’s going to be some amazing players here for the tournament and I know I’ll be a bit nervous but I have to use the fact I know the course to my advantage.

“I try to practice every day, so I will use the next few weeks to look at the composite course because we’re not playing the usual layout of holes. I have been on all 27 holes over

WHEN Ranch Sorting was introduced to Dubbo several years ago, keen riders Lonnie and Cindy Henderson were among the first to sign up.

Last weekend the entire family featured in the Ranch Sorting National Finals and these are the results: Lonnie  2019 Reserve National Champion Western Heritage  Finals 1st Western Heritage w Dawn Barwick  Finals 5th Western Heritage w Daryl Stone  Finals 4th 8s Class with Jodi-Lee Fuge Cindy  2019 National Champion Novice  2019 National Champion Western Heritage  Finals 2nd Western Heritage w Dawn Barwick

the years but now I’m putting a lot of work into the championship holes,” she added.

Dubbo is expecting an economic bonanza with visiting golfers and their support crews taking in the tourist sites and excellent hospitality of the capital of the west.

The NSW Government has provided $1.3 million in funding to ensure the success of the 2020 Worrells NSW Women’s Open, with the money used to install a new irrigation system for the course as well as a disability access lift for the clubhouse.

By GEOFF MANN THIRTY paddlers from the Outback Dragons will swing into action on Darling Harbour this weekend. They are continuing a long-standing tradition by competing in the annual Lunar New Year Regatta.

The well-established Dragons have entered five different categories, mainly in the premier section which are for crews under 40.

The club has also entered teams in the Mixed, Open and Women’s, with another crew in the Senior A Mixed and also one in Senior B Mixed.

Next month, the Dragons are heading south to Tasmania to take part in a one-day 44km Bridges and Beaches paddle.

 Finals 4th 4s Class w Kylie Bailey  Finals 5th 8s Class w Laura Gardner Chelsea  3rd Overall for the 2019 Novice Mia  2019 National Champion Youth Lily  2019 Top Ten Youth Clancy  2019 Top Ten Youth  Finals 3rd Beginners class Lonnie and Cindy were quick to praise all the sponsors and cattle donors for their great support. They also sent a massive thanks to all their partners who rode with them throughout the year and at the finals.

“Of course we couldn’t do it without our super talented horses,” the pair said in unison.

“It should be a lot of fun with two boat loads, including extra with paddlers from another club. I think the boats are limited to 20 per person,” Chris Robinson told me.

She says the club has been training well despite the heat and dust.

“We were on the water on Sunday morning with some very new and dirty inflow filled with unknown farmers’ topsoil!”

Dubbo’s amazing crews day will back up after the Bridges to Beaches for a regatta.

Meanwhile, club stalwart Rhonda Betts is Canberra with the Western Region team. We look forward to an update on the rep team’s results and their upcoming plans.

CRICKET

State challenge brings best to the west

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL MORE than 500 players made their way to Wellington and Dubbo last week for the annual cricket carnival.

The girls’ under-13s were played in perfect conditions in Wellington. After two days of fun-filled T20 matches, Metro Sixers took the trophy from Country Thunder.

The boys 13s and 14s finished with joint winners when the final day’s play fell victim to a monster dust storm. Dubbo players featured in the Country Thunder South West team, coached

by Greg Rummans, were locked in battle with Metro Sixers in the 13s final, and Country Sixers against Metro Sixers South East in the 14s.

Cricket NSW Pathways Development Manager, Mark Cameron – himself a former first-class fast bowler – was excited by the skills he saw on display during the carnival.

“It is easy to see why Australia is in such good form when you see this amazing array of talent,” he observed.

Western Region Cricket NSW Manager Matt Ellis was equally impressed.

“We have record numbers of girls and boys involved following the recent Ashes and World Cup tournaments. We cannot thank enough the hundreds of volunteers who lend a hand coaching, managing and administrating our evolving sport right across the state,” Ellis said.

Dubbo Regional Council staff in Wellington and Dubbo received well deserved plaudits for their work over the long summer, especially during the Christmas/New Year period, while Cricket NSW officials were full of praise for the countless volunteers and umpires who ensured the success of the annual challenge.

Celebrating our local sport heroes DUBBO

2020 Services to Sports Award – Karen Granger

KAREN has had almost a lifetime of involvement in netball.

While her children no longer play in the DUBBO region, Karen remains committed to the sport. She is Vice President of Dubbo Netball Association and manages many representative teams. Karen has been recognised primarily for her contribution to netball but she is far from a onetrick pony. Over the years, she has contributed to many other sporting groups and volunteer committees, including:  Dubbo RSL Physical Culture Club and Dubbo City Physical Culture Club – 2002-2010  Dubbo Cycle Club

– 2010-11  Orana Aquatic Swim Club – 2002-07  Dubbo District Pre School Board, as well as other groups too numerous to mention.

Karen received a Dubbo Day Award in 2019 for her community service and the John and Nita McGrath Community Sports Award.

In addition, this determined community-minded citizen has, over the past five years, given up her Christmas break to go and run the Royal Far West Accommodation at Manly so that rural bush families can have an affordable beach holiday.

This demonstrates Karen’s thoughtfulness and

commitment to ensuring g others have opportunities in life.

The citation read out by DUBBO Regional Council Australia Day Coordinator, Susan Wade stated: “Karen extends her love and compassion for others to so many; young sports women consider her a second mother. She takes her young charges under her wing, provides guidance and teaches them how to strive and become amazing representatives and future pillars of the Dubbo Community.”

One of these “chickens” is our 2020 Young Citizen of the Year, Molly Croft.

Karen met Molly and her sister Maddison through

representative under-12s netball. When Molly was diagnosed with cancer, Karen provided invaluable support to the young athlete and her family.

Typical of her thinking outside the square about Molly’s ordeal, Karen made more than 60 blankets to be delivered and given out to children at the Westmead Children’s Hospital.

Practical, compassionate, very grounded.

“Karen has inspired and helped many families and it is these qualities that makes her an extremely worthy recipient of the 2020 Services to Sports Award,” were the emcee’s final words before she was presented with her citation.

2020 Young Sportsperson of the Year – Haylee Fuller HAYLEE capped off a remarkable 2019 with a brace of gold medals at her first National Road Championships in January this year. Her commendation highlighted the guts and determination of the Year 11 St John’s College student.

“Haylee is an out and out hard worker and anything she wins is thoroughly deserved. She is a credit to the sport of cycling and to the community of Dubbo, both of which she holds dear.”

Haylee belongs to Australia’s top cycling club, right here in Dubbo.

She attributes her success to her coaches, the mentoring of senior members like Darrell Wheeler and Simone Grounds and the Dubbo cycling family.

“Haylee has a tough work ethic and a calculating racing technique, with relentless attacks in endurance events often resulting in her finishing some minutes ahead of her rivals,” the citation continued.

“Haylee’s efficiency as an athlete is astonishing and elevates her to be in the company of a very select group whose make up

thrives on difficult climbing and long-distance endurance events.

Her continuous attacking on the road is reminiscent of the greats of the sport and her ability to read a race so well leaves champions of the past and present with evidence that the future is hers for the taking.”

Haylee has set herself immediate and long-term goals with potential Commonwealth and Olympic representation the ultimate.

Haylee’s most recent achievement was at the 2020 Federation University Road Nationals in Ballarat where she was crowned champion for the Junior U19 Women's Criterium, sprint jersey and Most Aggressive Rider and Junior U19 Women’s Road Race (gold and sprint jersey).

The criterium was not without drama as Haylee had a fall in the wet conditions when the road barriers came down in front of her. She displayed great mental strength to get up, continue and win.

Among Haylee’s numerous list of achievements includes:  NSW Female Cyclist of the Year

and undefeated U17 Women’s Road Series; Australian Road Series Champion 2019;  Australian Track Titles: Gold – Pointscore; Silver – Team Pursuit and Silver –Madison;  Australian Road Titles: Silver – Individual Time Trial; Silver – Road Race;  Yellow Jersey and overall winner of New Zealand International Tour of Yunca;  Top 10 finish in the Elite Women’s Madison Championship at only 16 years of age;  NSW team selection for the Australian Road Titles; and  NSW team captain for the Australian Road Titles.

Haylee’s is a very rare talent of cycling, showing particular gifts in the time trial and road race which has the potential to lead her to great heights in the sport. It is Haylee’s outstanding success and dedication to training in the sport of cycling, that has earned her the 2020 Young Sportsperson of the Year Award. Congratulations on such great achievements.

2020 Sportsperson of the Year – Melanie Currey

MELANIE achieved a rare honour in 2019, by representing Dubbo on a state and national level as well as being selected for Australia in the gruelling sport of Obstacle Course Racing (OCR).

Melanie is a mature age athlete who embodies all the great Australian sporting qualities.

Her citation stated: “Although competing as an individual, Melanie is always the one on the field cheering the loudest, motivating others and offering a helping hand to push their hardest and complete some truly tough obstacles.

“She provided advice on

training and nutrition for a young local as he prepared for the Kokoda Trek. Melanie took this person trekking and taught him all she knew and even lent some of her equipment and provided appropriate snacks and other goodies to help him on his journey.”

The nomination says this reflected “the generous and considerate person she is”.

Melanie is the only Australian woman to compete in the 72-hour Agoge in Mongolia, an elite world obstacle race event.

She represented the Australian OCR team as an elite independent athlete in Can-

ada, finishing in the top 10 for her class.

She competed in the 24hour Spartan event in Iceland, where she lasted the full 24 hours without stopping, placing first in her age category and placing third woman out of all age groups and 30th overall.

Melanie was afforded the honour of being flag bearer in the opening ceremony for this event.

She has also competed in the True Grit 24-hour endurance event; the world championships in Sydney and represented Australia in the Spartan Ultra World Championships in Sweden,

as well as completing the Oxfam Trail Walker in Sydney, with two Dubbo locals.

Together they raised more than $2,000 for a great cause.

She has also been a regular participant in the Orana Relay for Life in Dubbo, carrying 72kg of weight for 20kms to raise awareness of the effects that carrying extra weight can have on our health and the link between this and cancer.

Melanie’s achievements alone qualify her for this prestigious award; her sportsmanship and Aussie spirit add lustre to the achievement.

WELLINGTON 2020 Junior Sportsperson of the Year Award – Lilly Clarke TO say Lilly is a touch football special talent is to state the obvious.

During 2019, the youngster participated in local Wellington Touch Football, St Mary’s Catholic School Touch Football and led her school team in regional and state tournaments.

Lilly’s outstanding skills on the field were acknowledged when she was selected cap-

tain of the NSW Touch Football team.

To lead your state in any sport is a grand achievement and a testament to Lilly’s ability as a player and her skill as a leader.

Lilly also participated in fundraising for the school team to travel to touch football tournaments and events.

“Lilly is a wonderful men-

tor for her teammates and displays understanding and tolerance of others, particularly those younger than her or new to the sport,” according to her nomination.

The announcement of Lilly’s award was well received.

Everyone in attendance admired the young champion’s outstanding personal achievements in touch football and

were in awe of the testimonials surrounding her leadership and genuine care for her teammates.

Her citation continued: “Lilly exhibits high level sport skills and has the energy and dedication to support future success. She has achieved excellence in her chosen sport while doing something she so obviously enjoys.”

2020 Sportsperson of the Year – Ben McGregor

WHEN the man they all know as “Chops” was announced as the 2020 Sportsperson of the Year for Wellington, the inspirational Rugby League player accepted his award with typical humility.

Ben epitomises all that is good about country sports people. He has attained representative honours in juniors and seniors while playing almost his entire career with his beloved Wellington Cowboys.

Last year, Chops capped an almighty career when he won his first Group 11 Premiership medals. After years of commitment, the “old man” of the team played in reserve grade and

then was given the honour of playing out the final minutes as the Cowboys’ first grade seized its first title in 25 years.

The award stated: “Ben is a true leader, always leading by example and not asking anyone to do anything he is not prepared to do. He is a quiet and humble man who would do anything for anyone he thought he could help in any way.”

The big forward is known for his toughness and durability and for his respect for his teammates and the opposition.

Ben has played many years of Rugby League but most of all he has displayed incredi-

ble loyalty to the Wellington Cowboys. Despite having offers to play elsewhere, the staunch clubman has never abandoned his hometown and Wellington is grateful to have Ben as part of its club and history.

Ben’s early sporting career began playing Rugby League for the Stuart Town Ironbarks in the village where he grew up.

He played Junior League in Wellington then moved into the Cowboys under-18s when he was just 16. His endurance and love for the game and the club means he is still going strong at the age of 40.

Ben represented the Group

XI All Stars against the Indigenous All Stars in 2013 after representing many times over the past 20 years.

He also played cricket for Stuart Town, Wellington and in the Macquarie Valley and Western Zone representative teams.

He is a proud man from Stuart Town, regarded as a genuine “Ironbark” and a wonderful husband and father who continually demonstrates the qualities to which everyone can aspire.

Ben is an outstanding ambassador for Rugby League and a richly deserving recipient of the Wellington 2020 Sportsperson of the Year Award.

Hot pace at the Dubbo track

By GEOFF MANN Photos by MEL POCKNALL DRIVERS and spectators used the 36-degree temperatures to generate some red-hot action on the track at Dubbo last Wednesday night.

Luckily, the meeting was held 24 hours before the dust monster that rolled in from the west closed most sporting and other outdoor activities across the city.

According to long-serving DHRC (Dubbo Harness Racing Club) committee man, Graham Phipps, the night was highlighted by tiny filly Our Antonio Rose and Nathan Townsend and their continuing love of the Dubbo track.

The pair combined for their

third straight win on the track in a fighting half head finish over Cobbity Chic (Tom Pay) in a great mile rate of 1:58:0.

The hhard-foughtresult took the three-year-old Rose’s unbeaten run to four, after scoring her first win at Young in December.

Veteran 9-year-old Cankickatarget (Brett Hutchins) returned from a 14-month campaign in Brisbane to takeout Race 4 in a mile rate of 1:58:2.

Dubbo Harness Racing Club was again a nomination at the 2020 Gilgandra Australia Day Awards in the community events section for the Gilgandra Cup Charity race meeting, where $2800 was raised for the Gilgandra Hospital to help purchase a new patient bed lifter.

TRIBUTE

Vale, Darby Paxton The perfect team man

By GEOFF MANN “IT is with great sadness and deep regret that we have to announce one of our very own, Darby Paxton passed away on Wednesday afternoon,” was how Newtown Football Club’s Facebook page recorded a tragic accident that claimed the 18 year old’s life.

Darby had just commenced an apprenticeship after completing his HSC at St John’s College a few months earlier.

“We send our deepest condolences to Darby’s parents Karen and Ross, his sister Laura as well as our love and prayers to the rest of his family and friends,” the post continued.

Darby was training for his third season with the black and whites.

His sudden death in a work accident stunned his Newtown team mates.

“Darby was a committed young man with a massive amount of potential, not just in football, but in life itself. He was an absolute top bloke who encapsulated exactly what it meant to be a ‘Townie, a highly respected member and Dubbo Newtown Soccer Club.

“He possessed the qualities of a person you wanted to be around.

He was funny, gave respect, earned respect. Darby was understanding and most of all, he had a big heart.

Those are just some of the things we will miss about him,” the Facebook post continued.

These sentiments have been echoed around the community.

Ross and Karen have been overwhelmed by the support from the Newtown Club as well as their Geurie community and people from across the region. The Paxton family has always been generous with their time. Ross’ roots are generational while Karen has

` This season, we’re doing it all for you mate.

Every game, every goal, every win, we will leave it all on the pitch every single time just as you did. a – Newtown Football Club’s pledge in memory of Darby Paxton

been a devoted “Geurie-ite” since moving to Geurie in high school and then marrying the boy next door.

Ross spoke of the times he and Darby would work on the trucks and around Geurie.

“I couldn’t sleep the other night, thinking of all the things we’d

done together. I took Karen out to the showground where we’d laid some concrete and posts for a huge shade sail. Darby sneaked off and carved his initials into the wet pad. We found the spot and stood there remembering his kindness and willingness to lend a hand.”

Ross runs his own trucking

business, while Karen works at the Sydney University School of Rural Health where she ran the ARCHER study. This eight-year project involved yearly surveys of adolescents and their moods.

Karen remembers Darby as someone who was constantly thinking of others.

“He wanted to be the best for people and directed his choices with that in mind. He always played soccer, starting with Westside which was an incredibly successful club but went to play with EDU to be with some mates.

“Darby said it didn’t matter that they were getting flogged most weeks, he just wanted to help out his friends,” Karen said.

Darby was also a talented basket baller.

“He played a couple of seasons with Dubbo Rams in the Western League when he was 12 and 13.

He also tried cricket, playing one season of Thursday afternoons but told us that wasn’t his game. He preferred the round ball, especially kicking one.”

Darby also loved meeting people at the drive-through of KFC where he worked for two years in East Dubbo, just down from St John’s College.

Karen said he took great pride in his job, loved a chat and would farewell everyone with “KF-C you later” at the drive through window.

“All his wages went on soccer boots or replacing balls that may have strayed at school or ended up on the roof of the Barbara Amos Hall.”

Newtown Football Club “family” pays tribute

Newtown players and supporters embraced the Paxtons at training last Sunday. PHOTO: SUPPLIED

AFTER the shock of Darby’s death, Ross and Karen phoned Newtown President Craig Moore.

“We have always supported Darby but did not often get along to games.

We knew how much he loved being with the players, (both) men and women, so asked Craig if we could come to training and present his gear.”

The response was amazing. Last Sunday, after club members had spent three days volunteering at the Country Athletics Championships, they came together for training on the Lady Cutler Fields.

Everyone embraced Ross, Karen and Laura and after some words were offered, the Newtown family released balloons in memory of a

much-loved mate.

“It was a beautiful tribute (with) family and friends united. Tremendous. There were more hugs than handshakes,” Ross and Karen offered.

“We both left understanding why Darby was so happy playing with Newtown. He spoke of the club as his second family and now we know why.”

Darby’s absence from the dinner table will leave a huge hole.

Newtown FC summed up the young third grader who aspired to play up a grade this year: “At the age of 18, Darby was an amazing young man with his entire life ahead of him. Unfortunately life has been cruel and unfair in taking

him from us way too soon.

“We all miss you, mate, and we will continue to miss you as you weren’t just a teammate or a friend, you were and always will be our brother and you will forever remain a ‘Townie.

“This is going to be a tough time for each and every one of us and we’d like to let everyone affected by this know that we’re here for you, each and every one of us, and we’ll get through this together, we need to do it together.

“This season, we’re doing it all for you mate. Every game, every goal, every win, we will leave it all on the pitch every single time just as you did.

“We love you Darby, we do. Rest in peace.”

The save prices listed are calculated from the suppliers RRP (Recommended Retail Price) at the time of preparation and where no such price exists is the retail price found at competing retailers. Due to discount policy we may not have sold at RRP. All products may not be available from all Chemist Warehouse stores. Not all products featured in this catalogue are available online. We beat everyone’s prices! At Chemist Warehouse if you find a cheaper price on the exact same item at another Australian Retail store, we will match it and give you 10% off the difference. (Excludes ‘online only’ offers). Exact same item means exact same product, with the same packaging and where the product on offer at the other retail store is not clearance or run out stock. All products subject to manufacturer’s availability. We reserve the right to correct printing errors.
